PRESS RELEASE Reduction in income from rents and leases by 1.3% to €45.1 million Decrease in FFO 4.4% to €23.8 million Net asset value (NAV) per share at €8.72 (-3.9% YTD) Loan-to-value (LTV) at 45.2% Full-year 2026 forecast confirmed BUSINESS FIGURES FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2026 Duisburg, 4 August 2026 – In a persistently challenging macroeconomic and sector-specific environment, HAMBORNER REIT AG was once again able to report a largely stable and on-track operational performance in the second quarter of the current year. Income from rents and leases amounted to €45.1 million, which was 1.3% below the level of the same period last year. The decline was mainly attributable to property disposals made in both the previous and current financial years. Revenue performance was positively influenced by contractually agreed rent adjustments resulting from inflation (index-linked rent increases). On a like-for-like basis, rental income in the first half of the year was approximately €0.7 million, or 1.7%, higher than the figure for the same period last year. Funds from Operations (FFO) decreased by 4.4% compared with the same period last year to €23.8 million. Accordingly, FFO per share fell to €0.29 (previous year: €0.31). Besides lower rental income and other operating income, earnings were impacted by the cost increases forecasted in the full-year outlook in the areas of maintenance, administration and personnel as well as higher financing costs resulting from the changed interest rate environment. The company’s financial position remains solid. Influenced by the dividend payment made in the second quarter and value adjustments within the property portfolio, the loan-to-value ratio (EPRA LTV) rose to 45.2% compared with the end of 2025 (31 December 2025: 44.3%). The REIT equity ratio fell accordingly during the first half of the year and remained at a high level of 53.9% as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 54.7%). PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT During the first quarter of 2026, the transfer of ownership of the retail property in Ditzingen, which had been sold at the end of 2025, took place. As at 30 June 2026, the portfolio thus comprised 63 retail and office properties. The company did not commission a portfolio-wide external valuation of its property portfolio at the end of the half-year. Regardless of this, isolated adjustments to market values were made in consultation with the company’s external appraiser. Following an increase of €4.4 million in the market value of an office property in Cologne, which had already taken place at the end of the first quarter, value adjustments were made as at 30 June 2026 for a total of eight office and retail properties. These were attributable, amongst other things, to changes in location and letting prospects, as well as increased cost forecasts for subsequent lettings. Overall, the revaluations and write-downs during the year led to a decrease in the portfolio value of €20.7 million, or 1.5%. Accordingly, the market value of the total portfolio at the end of the first half of the year stood at €1.316 billion. Influenced by the dividend payment and the market value adjustments, the net asset value (NAV) per share fell by 3.9% compared with the end of 2025 (€9.07) and stood at €8.72 as at 30 June 2026. STRATEGIC PORTFOLIO ADJUSTMENT In connection with the strategic realignment of the property portfolio announced in February 2026, the company successfully completed its first transaction in the second quarter and signed the sale agreement for an office property in Neu-Isenburg. The sale price of the property amounts to €13.5 million, which was slightly below the level of the most recently appraised market value. Subject to the fulfilment of a contractually stipulated condition, additional sales proceeds of up to approximately €0.2 million may be realized. The transfer of ownership is expected to take place in the third quarter of 2026. The company intends to reinvest the funds released as soon as possible in high-yield properties in the FMCG and DIY sectors, in line with its expanded acquisition profile. OPERATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT At the operational level, business development in the first half of the year also proved to be largely stable and in line with plans. Since the start of the year, leases have been signed for approximately 23,700 m² of rental space (previous year: 12,400 m²), with office space accounting for around 66%. The tenant retention rate remained at an extremely high level of approximately 88%. The average remaining lease term (WALT) declined slightly over the course of the year and stood at 5.0 years as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 5.3 years). The terms within the retail and office portfolios amounted to 6.2 and 3.6 years respectively. The EPRA vacancy rate stood at 4.1% as at the reporting date, slightly above the low level recorded at the end of 2025 (3.5%). DIVIDEND & ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING On 3 June 2026, the company’s Annual General Meeting took place as an in-person event in Essen. At the AGM, all resolutions proposed by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board were approved by a large majority. The resolutions concerned, amongst other things, the discharge of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board for the financial year 2025, the approval of the remuneration report, and the renewal of the authorisation for a possible future share buyback. Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting confirmed the dividend proposal and resolved to pay a dividend for the financial year 2025 of €0.39 per share. OUTLOOK The company continues to take a fundamentally positive view of the course of 2026 and stands by its most recently published assessments regarding future business development. Taking into account the assumptions stated in the 2025 Annual Report, the company expects income from rents and leases in the 2026 financial year in a range from €87.5 million to €89.5 million. Funds from operations (FFO) are expected in the range between €38.0 million and €42.0 million. KEY FINANCIAL AND PORTFOLIO FIGURES AS OF 30 JUNE 2026
