"The results for 9M 2025 show both resilience in our core operations and the areas where we must accelerate our efforts to deleverage and reduce increased finance costs. Our management team is fully aligned on the priorities ahead: continued assets sale program, deleveraging, completing bank refinancings, and improving operational efficiency. We are taking a disciplined approach to capital allocation, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability," said Botond Rencz, CEO of GTC.
"In the 9M 2025 period, rental revenues increased to EUR 152 million and cash flow from operations remained stable at EUR 77 million. We successfully issued EUR 455 million to address the June 2026 maturity of EUR 494 million
notes, a key milestone in our refinancing plan, while maintaining a resilient liquidity position. At the same time, higher financing costs after the consolidation of the German portfolio weighed on FFO I, which declined to EUR 28 million. We also recognized non-cash revaluation loss of EUR 45 million which weighed on our reporting earnings, that did not impact our resilient liquidity position," commented Jacek Bagiński, CFO of GTC.
STRATEGIC ACTIONS IN 9M 2025
Significant extension of maturity profile and further debt reduction | In October 2025 GTC Finance DAC successfully priced EUR 455 million senior secured notes due October 2030 at a 6.5% coupon. Net proceeds of EUR 429 million (after fees and expenses) were placed in escrow account pledged to the new bondholders and earmarked for the repayment of the outstanding SUNs. As part of the refinancing process, GTC Magyarország Zrt. ("GTC Hungary") conducted a tender offer for the SUNs, resulting in the repurchase of EUR 195 million in aggregate principal, financed by a loan from GTC Finance DAC. The total amount payable for all SUNs accepted for purchase was EUR 192 million. Following the tender, EUR 299 million SUNs remain outstanding, while EUR 237m of cash remains on the GTC Finance DAC escrow account. The balance of EUR 62 million is secured by a EUR 44 million cash deposit designated for SUNs repayment and EUR 87 million cash available in the Group. |

ESG strategy progress | GTC continues to reduce the environmental footprint of its buildings and maintain the highest operational standards. Ongoing initiatives include improving the energy efficiency class of the German residential portfolio through a technology platform integrating AI-driven energy optimisation, efficient heat pump systems and, where possible, photovoltaic installations.

This solution enables precise measurement and analysis of waste streams generated by tenants and visualisation of the carbon footprint by fraction. A major achievement was securing the LEED Gold v5 certificate for the south tower of the City Gate complex in Bucharest - the newest and most demanding version of this global certification system. It is the first existing property in Romania and only the fourth in Europe to receive such recognition. According to the published ESG Report, in 2024 GTC reduced CO₂ emissions year-on-year by approximately one-fifth, and already 98% of the Company's commercial buildings (100% in Poland, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia) hold LEED, BREEAM or DGNB certification, or are undergoing recertification. |
