EPRA EPS growth of 5.8% for the period increasing EPRA Earnings to €15.3 million (H1 2025: €14.5 million). Adjusted Earnings (excluding fair value movements) growth of 6.2% to €17.0 million (H1 2025: €16.0 million). Like-for-like residential annualised passing rent growth of 2.1% in the period (H1 2025: 0.3%). Net Rental Income (“NRI”) margin improvement to 78.1% (H1 2025: 78.0%) due to our continued focus on operational efficiency. IFRS NAV per share of 138.8 cent, grew by 5.4% in the six months (FY 2025: 131.7 cent). Net LTV reduction to 42.6% (FY 2025: 43.6%). Total Accounting Return (“TAR”) of 6.8% in H1 2026 (H1 2025: 2.8%). H1 2026 dividend per share of 2.50 cent (H1 2025: 2.36 cent) an increase of 5.9%. Acquisition announced of 77 new units – reinvesting the proceeds from the successful asset recycling programme.   Eddie Byrne, I-RES’ Chief Executive Officer, said: “The first six months of 2026 have seen I-RES continue to build on the strong progress delivered in 2025, with further operational momentum, continued disciplined cost management alongside a focus on growing earnings and creating shareholder value. The new rental regulations, which came into effect on 1 March 2026, represent a significant and welcome step forward for the Irish property rental sector. It provides much-needed certainty for residents, operators and investors, improving the outlook for investment returns and creating a more supportive environment for the delivery of new rental accommodation. The revised framework has unlocked renewed capital flows into the sector, which should improve development viability over time and support a healthier, more sustainable rental market. As part of our continued focus on disciplined growth, our forward purchase agreement to acquire 77 high-quality apartments in Naas demonstrates the strategic reinvestment of capital generated through our asset recycling programme into portfolio-enhancing opportunities. We continue to actively consider further opportunities to reinvest and grow the business across a healthy pipeline as market activity continues to build momentum. We remain focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, managing LTV within our target range and assessing all capital allocation options against our objective of maximising long-term shareholder value creation. As a long-term Irish investor with permanent capital, we hold a unique position in the market and our approach enables us to play a vital role in addressing the country’s ongoing residential accommodation needs.” Financial and Operational Highlights Achieved earnings growth of 5.3% for the period with EPRA earnings of €15.3 million (H1 2025: €14.5 million) and 5.8% growth in EPRA EPS to 2.9 cent (H1 2025: 2.8 cent). This growth in earnings was achieved despite the disposal of 1.1% of our units period on period, as part of our asset recycling programme. Adjusted Earnings (excluding fair value movements) grew by 6.2% to €17.0 million (H1 2025: €16.0 million) and reflects the asset recycling programme generating sales premia significantly ahead of book values. Revenue increased 1.1% to €43.1 million (H1 2025: €42.6m). Like-for-like annualised residential passing rent increased by 2.1% in the period reflecting the permitted rental growth across existing tenancies and the portion of units that have turned over since 1 March 2026 reset to market rents. Absolute revenue growth was curtailed by the reduced portfolio. With the announcement of the forward purchase of 77 new units in Naas, we have begun to reinvest the proceeds of our asset recycling programme into higher returning assets, also demonstrating our ability to fund the development of new residential accommodation in Ireland.   Average Monthly Rent (“AMR”) increased by 1.7% to €1,884 (FY 2025: €1,852) in the period aided by our strong letting performance in the first half of the year. The portfolio continues to be effectively fully occupied at 99.4% (FY 2025: 99.5%) which reflects both our highly effective operating platform and the continued strong underlying demand for high quality rental properties in Dublin. Turnovers for the period of 6% remained in line with the prior period (H1 2025: 6%). Achieved an incremental improvement in NRI margin of 10 bps period on period at 78.1% (H1 2025: 78.0%) despite Local Property Tax (LPT) increases having a negative margin impact of 20bps. This follows the strong 120bps expansion achieved in 2025. NRI for the period of €33.7 million increased by 1.2% versus prior period. This strong performance reflects our continued intense focus on cost management. The Company completed the disposal of 18 units in H1 2026, achieving sales premia of c. 30% above book value, equivalent to a below 4% Net Initial Yield. Disposals completed during the period generated total gross proceeds of €7.5 million and a €1.7 million gain versus book value. As at 30 June 2026, the Company had a further 20 units held for sale which we expect to complete in the coming months. Profit before tax of €48.0 million versus €16.3 million in the prior period driven by the non-cash fair value movement of our assets which was underpinned by performance of the portfolio and stable yields. Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation As at 30 June 2026, I-RES’ portfolio had a total value of €1,277 million (31 December 2025: €1,247 million) including assets held for sale. This represents a 2.4% increase in the period. Strong organic growth in the performance of the assets and rents achieved has delivered valuation increases offset by the disposal of 18 units as part of our ongoing asset recycling programme. Yields remained broadly flat in the period with EPRA Net Initial Yield of 5.2% at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 5.2%). Weighted average equivalent yield across the portfolio of 6.1% (FY 2025: 6.1%) which highlights the significant reversion in our portfolio. We continue to reinvest in our portfolio of assets, to ensure we maintain our exceptional levels of occupancy, resident demand and resident service. The Group’s portfolio is estimated to be 20% under-rented versus market rates in line with the 31 December 2025 position. This embeds long-term upside in the business without the requirement for a significant increase in investment in our assets. This long-term income potential will be realised over time as units turn over and new leases commence. Net LTV at 30 June 2026 stood at 42.6%, reduced from 43.6% at 31 December 2025. Our leverage level remains well below the 50% maximum allowed by the Irish REIT regime and the Group’s debt financial leverage ratio covenant. The decrease can be attributed to the increased property valuations and the success of our ongoing asset recycling programme. Total Accounting Return of 6.8% in H1 2026 versus H1 2025 of 2.8%. The primary drivers for this performance are the strong recurring dividend paid, the organic growth in our asset portfolio and the gain on disposals. Proceeds from the asset recycling programme will be deployed towards continuing to actively manage LTV within the target range of 40% to 45%. Thereafter we will prioritise excess capital towards enhancing shareholder value through our capital allocation framework as evidenced by our re-investment into 77 new units. The Board decided to declare a dividend of 2.50 cents per share, in line with the requirements of Irish REIT legislation and representing the Company’s dividend policy of paying out 85% of property income from the property rental business. As market activity and momentum improve, we continue to monitor our capital allocation policy and returns-consistent growth opportunities. Outlook I-RES enters the second half of 2026 with a stronger platform, improved efficiency, a more supportive regulatory framework and a constructive investment backdrop. Together, these factors provide a clearer pathway to sustainable earnings growth, supported by continued focus on revenue optimisation, cost discipline and operational efficiency. The new rental regulations effective from 1 March 2026 provide a balanced framework for residents, operators and long-term investors. The framework maintains controls on annual rent increases and strengthens security of tenure, while providing greater certainty for investment in the rental sector. While new supply will take time to emerge, early indicators are positive, with improving liquidity, stronger confidence among investors and developers, and supportive Irish economic and demographic fundamentals. Disciplined capital allocation remains central to the Company’s strategy. I-RES will continue to focus on opportunities that enhance portfolio quality, support earnings growth and create long-term shareholder value. The forward purchase of 77 apartments in Naas for €31.75 million reflects this approach, recycling capital from asset sales into a high-quality asset expected to be earnings accretive following lease-up. The Company will maintain a prudent balance sheet, with LTV expected to remain within the target range of 40% to 45%. This financial flexibility supports both portfolio investment and the continued payment of ordinary dividends. Looking ahead, I-RES is well positioned to benefit from improving sector fundamentals, a scalable internalised operating platform and a clearer investment environment. The Company remains committed to delivering high-quality, professionally managed homes, supporting Ireland’s housing needs and creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders through disciplined growth.

Business Review Continued strategic momentum delivering earnings growth The first half of 2026 has seen the Company build on the improved performance in 2025 and deliver a strong financial and operational performance for the first six months, making progress against strategic objectives and delivering improvements across numerous key performance indicators. Our high-quality portfolio of modern and sustainable properties remained effectively fully occupied at 30 June 2026 at 99.4% (FY 2025: 99.5%), reflecting the consistent efficiency of our property management operations, the mid-market positioning of our assets and the continued strength of demand in the Irish Private Rental Sector (“PRS”) market. Revenue increased by 1.1% in the period, reflecting ongoing organic rent renewals at 2% and the release of the embedded reversion in units that turned over in the period offset by the disposal of c. 1% of units period on period. In the past 6 months residential annualised passing rent has increased by 1.3% and like-for-like by 2.1% in line with expectations. Portfolio turnover was 6% during the period, consistent with H1 2025 but ahead of management expectations. The rental growth was broadly in line with management expectations, as the units that turned over had a lower reversion than the portfolio average, resulting in re-lets at rents above ERV. Net Rental Income (“NRI”) increased by 1.2% in the period and we achieved NRI margin growth of 10bps to 78.1% (FY 2025: 78.0%) building on the 120bps improvement in 2025. As highlighted by incremental margin improvements, we are making strong progress implementing income generating and cost management and recovery initiatives to improve the profitability of our real estate portfolio. Local Property Tax (“LPT”) under the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 requires periodic revaluation assessments. The latest occurred in November 2025 and took effect on 1 January 2026. Based on this exercise, increases have been notable in the period, driven by both valuation increases and local authority adjustment rates changing. This increase equated to a c. 20bps deterioration in margin, which we have offset through our sustained focus on cash collections, management of Owner’s Management Companies (“OMCs”) and associated costs, contract negotiations and certain cost recoveries on new leases. We continue to review operations for cost efficiencies and revenue opportunities. Scale is important to our business and whilst modest in unit numbers, the acquisition announced in H1 will be accretive to margin post lease-up given the operational gearing of our internalised platform. G&A expenses include costs such as employees’ salaries, director fees, professional fees for audit, legal and advisory services, depository fees, property valuation fees, insurance costs and other general and administrative expenses. We have seen modest inflationary increases across some cost captions leading to an increase of 2.6% in G&A expenses to €6.0m (H1 2025: €5.9m). In March 2025, the Company successfully refinanced its existing Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”). The new facilities comprise an RCF of €500 million and an Accordion Facility of €200 million which adds an additional element of flexibility to the Company's debt facilities. The facilities have a five-year term expiring in March 2030 with the option of two one-year extensions. The first extension option has been executed, with maturity of the facility now in March 2031. Hedging instruments in the amount of €275 million have been put in place, maintaining the Company’s overall level of fixed rate debt at c. 85% of drawn facilities. Following this refinancing, the current weighted average cost of interest across the Group’s facilities is 3.70% in H1 2026, broadly in line with the Group’s weighted average financing costs in 2025 of 3.71%. Financing costs in H1 2026 were 5.8% lower than in H1 2025 primarily due to costs incurred in the prior period for the acceleration of the deferred loan costs associated with the refinancing of the RCF at c. €0.6 million and the termination of the interest rate swaps associated with the previous RCF facility. In November 2025, the Company converted the RCF into a Sustainability Linked Loan (“SLL”). The SLL ties financing costs to independently verified Sustainability Performance Indicators. This structure supports I-RES’ sustainability strategy. Post completion of the first performance period of the SLL, all Sustainability Performance Indicators were achieved resulting in a 5bps reduction in the margin to 1.95%.    The Company delivered growth of 5.3% in EPRA earnings to €15.3 million (H1 2025: €14.5 million) and 5.8% in EPRA EPS. In H1 2026, the Company has completed the disposal of 18 units, with an additional 20 units held for sale at period end which we expect to close in the coming months. The sales continue to achieve premia of c. 30%, and gross proceeds in the period were €7.5 million. As a result of these disposals, Adjusted Earnings (excluding fair value movements) increased 6.2% from €16.0 million to €17.0 million. I-RES recognises its investment properties at fair value at each reporting period, with any unrealised gain or loss on re-measurement recognised in the profit or loss account. In the period, the fair value gain recorded on investment properties was €31.0 million (H1 2025: €0.3 million), reflecting stable yields across the wider Irish residential market and rental growth coming from new market leases on turnovers, which are limited and the annual renewal uplifts, noting that the organic growth from renewals is weighted towards the second half of the year. We are encouraged by the positive momentum and initial activity in the transaction market that will play out over the coming months. Our Gross Yield was 7.0% at period end, well in excess of our weighted average cost of interest of 3.70% whilst EPRA Net Initial Yield remained flat at 5.2% since 31 December 2025. The Irish Government has implemented a revised suite of balanced rental regulations, which include the ability to reset the rent of a unit when a tenant vacates and a new lease is put in place. This has been effective since 1 March 2026. As a result of this change and the increase in the long-term income potential of our properties as the 20% embedded reversion begins to release,   there has been an expected positive impact on valuations. Although market yields have remained largely unchanged in H1 2026, transaction activity has recovered significantly. Several ongoing market processes are expected to provide current pricing benchmarks and further support valuation assessment in the second half of the year. Yields As at 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 Gross Yield at Fair Value 7.0% 7.0% EPRA Net Initial Yield 5.2% 5.2%   Our average monthly rent increased to €1,884 from €1,823 at 30 June 2025 representing an increase of 3.3% in the last 12 months and an increase of 1.7% from €1,852 at 31 December 2025. This reflects our continued focus on asset management and selective disposal of underperforming and lower quality assets along with the performance of the portfolio. Our portfolio continues to be estimated at c. 20% below market rent by our independent valuers. Occupancy of 99.4% (H1 2025: 99.5%) reflects an effective full occupancy rate which has been maintained and supported by our mid-market residential sector positioning and continues to highlight the supply/demand imbalance in the market. AMR and Occupancy   Total Portfolio   Properties owned prior to 30 June 2025 (Like for Like properties)   As at 30 June 2026 2025   2026 2025   AMR   Occ. % AMR   Occ. % AMR change % AMR   Occ. % AMR   Occ. % AMR change %   Residential €1,884 99.4% €1,823 99.5% 3.3% €1,884 99.4% €1,823 99.5% 3.3%   We delivered a Total Accounting Return in H1 2026 of 6.8% versus 2.8% in the prior period. A key driver for the improved return includes the increased valuations driven by the organic performance of our assets and aided by the leasing activity under the new rental regulations. In addition, our strong recurring dividend paid by the Company provides a consistent and growing return for shareholders.

This represents a 2.4% increase compared to 31 December 2025 driven by the increased revaluation of investment properties, offset by the disposal of 18 units as part of our ongoing asset recycling programme. In H1 2026 we also acquired 2 units in the Charlestown development at attractive pricing to bring our total ownership at the development to 237 units and completes full ownership of an additional block. Yields remained flat in the period with EPRA Net Initial Yield at 5.2% as at 30 June 2026, remaining flat over the past twelve months. The equivalent yield for the portfolio is 6.1% (FY 2025 6.1%) and highlights the significant reversion in our portfolio. Transactional evidence to demonstrate the impact of this reversion on values has not yet been fully evidenced at this early stage. We continue to reinvest in our portfolio of assets, to ensure we maintain our exceptional levels of occupancy and tenant demand, whilst future proofing our assets and enabling us to release the embedded reversion in the portfolio as units turnover over time. I-RES seeks to use leverage to enhance shareholder returns over the long term. I-RES takes a proactive approach to its debt strategy to ensure the Group has laddering of debt maturities and the Group’s leverage ratio and interest coverage ratios are maintained at a sustainable level. Our debt facilities are made up of our €500 million RCF and c. €200 million (Euro Equivalent) of Private Placement Notes. The successful refinancing of the RCF in 2025 has extended the facilities for 5 years with two one-year extension options. In June 2026, we executed the first of the extension options, extending the maturity of the RCF to March 2031, strengthening the Company’s capital structure and debt profile. The first tranche of the Private Placement Notes of c. €46 million matures in Q1 2027, subsequent to this the Company has no debt maturities before 2030, and laddering is out to 2032 thereafter. We also converted the RCF into a Sustainability Linked Loan which ties the margin charged on the facility to the performance against sustainability KPI’s through a ratchet of 5bps upwards and downwards from a base margin rate of 2.0%. Post conclusion of the first performance period of the SLL, the Company has fully achieved all KPIs and has achieved a 5bps reduction in the margin to 1.95% until the next performance period is tested in early 2027. Net LTV at 30 June 2026 is 42.6%, a reduction from 43.6% at 31 December 2025. The decrease in LTV can be attributed to the ongoing, successful asset recycling programme and strong premia being achieved on these sales along with an increase in the valuation of the properties through net income growth. Our leverage level remains well below the 50% maximum allowed by the Irish REIT regime and the Group’s debt financial leverage ratio covenant and comfortably within the I-RES targeted range of managing LTV throughout the cycle between the 40%-45% range. The IFRS NAV per share is 138.8 cent, up 5.4% from 131.7 cent at 31 December 2025 aided by the increased asset valuations and the ongoing successful asset recycling programme. The Private Placement Notes were issued in March 2020 and are made up of €130 million and $75 million notes. On closing, I-RES entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap resulting in an overall weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.92% inclusive of swap costs and excluding transaction costs for the full principal of the notes. Drawn debt facilities are predominantly hedged against interest rate volatility, with over 85% fixed for the medium term. The Group has a weighted average drawn debt maturity of 4.3 years and no debt maturities before 2027. The weighted average cost of interest is 3.70% for H1 2026 (FY 2025: 3.71%). The remaining undrawn committed facilities are c. €148 million.

In line with this objective and in light of the continually improving investment environment and increase in transaction activity, we will continue to assess opportunities to replace the units we are disposing of under our ongoing asset recycling programme and, where appropriate, consider strategic growth opportunities whilst continuing to manage our LTV and maximise returns. Proceeds from the ongoing asset recycling programme are expected to be deployed towards: Continuing to actively manage LTV within the Board’s target range of between 40% and 45%, and subsequently: Enhancing returns through re-investing in our own portfolio and replacing units sold with newer, higher quality, higher yielding assets and Exploring opportunities to grow the business by acquiring strategically located, earnings enhancing assets In line with the above allocation framework, proceeds realised from the asset recycling programme have enabled the Company to successfully reduce Net LTV, announce our first acquisition in a number of years and execute a share buyback programme in 2025, highlighting our focus on all value accretive allocation strategies for shareholders and being cognisant of any discount between the share price and Net Asset Value. The Board will continue to monitor the capital allocation strategy for the Group, taking into account the prevailing market environment and the appropriate use of funds to best deliver on the long-term objective of maximising value for shareholders. Dividend In line with Irish REIT legislation, the Board decided to declare a dividend of 2.50 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2026, in line with the requirements of Irish REIT legislation and representing the Company’s dividend policy of paying out 85% of property income from the property rental business. Public Policy I-RES welcomes the Government’s ongoing focus on policy measures that encourage greater investment in the delivery of new housing supply. On 24 February 2026, the Residential Tenancies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2026 was signed into law and the new rental regulations came into effect for new tenancies created from 1 March 2026. Together with the broader measures contained in the Government’s Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025–2030 plan, Budget 2026 tax measures aimed at improving apartment viability, and the ongoing work to update national planning design standards for apartments, these reforms represent positive steps towards addressing the viability challenge for the delivery of new apartment developments. The new rental framework represents an important step in providing greater certainty for residents, operators and investors. For new tenancies created from 1 March 2026, rents are initially set at market and any future rent increases are linked to the lower of CPI or 2% annually and subsequently rents may be reset to market levels at the end of a six-year Tenancy of Minimum Duration. The framework also recognises the need to support new apartment delivery, with newly built apartments that commenced construction from 10 June 2025 not subject to the 2% cap and instead linked to CPI for annual rent increases. The Government has also continued to progress measures aimed at increasing housing supply more broadly. Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025–2030 targets the delivery of 300,000 homes by 2030, supported by regulatory reform, tax incentives and significant infrastructure investment. In Budget 2026, the Government announced targeted tax measures to address the apartment viability gap, including a reduced VAT rate on completed apartments, enhanced corporation tax deductions for apartment construction expenses and a corporation tax exemption for cost rental income. In June 2026, the Government also published a draft National Planning Statement on apartment design standards, with the stated objective of balancing high-quality apartment development with the need to promote increased delivery overall. The new legislation and related policy measures will take time to translate into newly delivered stock. However, the Company believes that the direction of policy is positive and provides a more balanced framework for residents, operators and investors. The Company has already seen increased market engagement and greater confidence among capital providers and developers and believes that a clearer and more stable regulatory environment can help re-establish the conditions required for investment in new high-quality rental accommodation in Ireland.     Board and Management Changes   Since the period end, Mari Hurley has commenced with I-RES as Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Brian Fagan following his retirement in July. The Company also welcomed Gary Britton and Shruthi Chindalur as Independent Non-Executive Directors following their appointment at the conclusion of the AGM on 28 May 2026, further strengthening the Board’s governance, commercial, technology and AI expertise as I-RES continues to execute its strategy and pursue long-term value creation for shareholders. At our AGM in May 2026, Joan Garahy retired and Amy Freedman and Richard Nesbitt did not seek re-election to the Board. The Board thanks all of them for their significant contribution over the past number of years. Outlook The first six months of 2026 have marked a further period of progress for I-RES, with the Company continuing to deliver against its strategic priorities while benefiting from a more supportive regulatory and investment backdrop. The new rental regulations represent an important step in providing greater certainty for residents, operators and investors. The ability to reset rents to market levels for new tenancies created under the revised framework, alongside enhanced tenant protections and a clearer long-term regulatory structure, improves the long-term income growth potential for the sector and supports a more attractive environment for investment in new rental accommodation. The forward purchase agreement that we announced in February to acquire 77 high-quality apartments in Naas for a total consideration of €31.75 million demonstrates the disciplined reinvestment of capital generated through our asset recycling programme. The acquisition is expected to be immediately earnings enhancing following the lease-up period and is consistent with our focus on selectively deploying capital into well-located, high-quality assets that enhance the portfolio, support income growth and maintain prudent balance sheet management. With a highly efficient and scalable platform, a stronger regulatory framework now in place and improving investment market conditions, I-RES enters the second half of 2026 well positioned to deliver sustainable growth and enhanced shareholder value. Importantly, we remain committed to playing a constructive role in helping to address Ireland’s housing crisis by providing professionally managed, high-quality rental homes and by supporting the delivery of much-needed new accommodation. Overall, the Company’s performance in the first half of the year supports the Board and managements strong confidence in the long-term outlook for the business.   On behalf of the Board   Hugh Scott-Barrett     Eddie Byrne Non-Executive Chair     Chief Executive Officer 14 August 2026 \n\n  Sustainability       Further Progress on our Sustainability Journey I-RES continues to advance its sustainability strategy across its three core pillars: Operating Responsibly, Protecting the Environment and Building Communities. During the period, we continued to progress key initiatives supporting our sustainability ambitions and Sustainability-Linked Loan (\"SLL\") commitments. Operating Responsibly   Disclosure & Data We continue to demonstrate strong sustainability disclosure and transparency, maintaining leading ESG benchmark performance, including a 3-Star GRESB rating, CDP score of B, MSCI ESG Rating of A, and S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) score of 42. We also expect to retain our EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the sixth consecutive year. Risk Management I-RES maintains a robust risk management framework with Board-level oversight, aligned to ISO 14001 and ISO 31000. Climate risk assessments continue across the portfolio, informed by Climate Resilience and Scenario Analysis. Cybersecurity and data protection remain key priorities, supported by established governance, employee training and ongoing monitoring. In the period we implemented a fully managed SOC/SIEM service that monitors our systems 24/7, enhancing our ability to identify, respond to, and manage cyber incidents in a timely manner. Health and safety remains a core focus, underpinned by a comprehensive management framework and strong governance processes. Protecting the Environment During 2026, our focus remains on progressing our Climate Transition Plan, enhancing Scope 3 data quality and advancing cost-effective decarbonisation opportunities across our portfolio and supply chain. Water metering initiatives continued across the portfolio, supporting improved monitoring and management of water consumption. We also maintained zero waste to landfill for directly managed assets and continued biodiversity initiatives to support pollination and wildlife. These activities support delivery of our Sustainability-Linked Loan targets and broader decarbonisation objectives. Building Communities Residents   We provide safe, secure and high-quality homes while fostering vibrant communities through our resident-facing brand, I-RES Living. In-person resident engagement events continue across the portfolio, supported by KPIs aligned to our Sustainability-Linked Loan targets. Our Net Promoter Score remains strong relative to industry benchmarks, and property-level improvement plans continue to address resident feedback. Employees We remain committed to employee wellbeing, inclusion and professional development through our enhanced benefits programme, ongoing training opportunities and EDI initiatives. Employee engagement remains strong, evidenced by high participation and satisfaction levels in our most recent employee survey, and reaccreditation of our Silver Investors in Diversity certification from the Irish Centre for Diversity. Our learning and development programme KPIs are aligned to our Sustainability-Linked Loan targets. Community    As a provider of residential homes and services, we remain closely connected to the communities in which we operate. We continue to partner with educational NGOs, support local sports organisations and raise funds for charitable causes. Our employees are encouraged to volunteer in order to support community initiatives, and these activities are supported by KPIs under our Sustainability-Linked Loan commitments. Overall, I-RES continues to make meaningful progress on its sustainability journey, with clear initiatives underway across responsible operations, environmental performance and community engagement. Through continued focus on strong governance, transparent reporting, targeted investment and stakeholder engagement, we remain committed to delivering against our sustainability ambitions and Sustainability-Linked Loan commitments while creating long-term value for our residents, employees, communities and shareholders.   Market Outlook Macroeconomic Landscape Ireland’s economy continues to demonstrate resilience, supported by strong domestic activity, positive employment levels and continued investment. While headline GDP remains volatile due to the scale and composition of multinational-sector activity, Modified Domestic Demand remains a more reliable indicator of domestic momentum. The Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) forecasts Modified Domestic Demand growth of 3.3% in 2026. Inflation has increased during 2026, with CSO CPI rising by 3.4% in the 12 months to June 2026, although the CBI expects HICP inflation to moderate from 3.5% in 2026 to 2.0% by 2028. Labour market conditions remain supportive, albeit with signs of normalisation, as CSO monthly unemployment increased to 5.0% in June 2026.   The principal macroeconomic risks remain external and supply-side in nature. The CBI highlights risks from energy prices, global supply chain disruption, the concentration of Irish exports and tax revenues in multinational-dominated sectors, potential changes in US trade or tax policy, and domestic infrastructure constraints across housing, energy, water, wastewater and transport. Notwithstanding these risks, Ireland’s domestic economy remains well supported by employment, investment and favourable demographic trends.   Ireland’s housing market remains structurally undersupplied. CSO data shows that Ireland’s population reached 5.46 million in April 2025, increasing by 78,300 people over the year, with positive net migration of 59,700. The Government’s Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025–2030 plan targets 300,000 new homes, including 72,000 social homes and 90,000 affordable housing supports. Housing completions improved in Q1 2026, with 7,856 new dwellings completed, up 32.9% year-on-year and the highest Q1 level since the CSO series began. However, delivery remains below independently estimated structural demand, and the forward pipeline remains a key constraint: CSO data shows Q1 2026 dwelling permissions were down 1.0% year-on-year nationally and down 34.0% in Dublin.   Regulatory Clarity Supporting Positive Outlook for PRS Sector   The investment market has already shown signs of renewed engagement. CBRE reports that H1 residential investment of approximately €486m represents 31% of total H1 activity and is materially ahead of any comparable H1 period since 2022. Of this, just over €350m is focused specifically on the private rental sector. The rebound has been driven by a combination of improved regulatory clarity, plentiful debt availability, and a new cohort of buyers entering the market, with a number of live mandates and new processes to come that will shape H2 volumes. Although the new rent regulations have not yet resulted in a discernible tightening of yields, we expect this to follow as confidence and capital flows continue to recover, with a positive impact on development viability, the stimulation of new supply and the unlocking of schemes that have remained challenged in recent years.   Improved regulatory clarity, stronger liquidity and clearer pricing evidence are expected to support greater investor confidence in the sector.   These conditions position I-RES well to benefit from Ireland’s enduring supply-demand imbalance, a more supportive regulatory framework and improving residential investment market conditions.                             \n\n \n\n Principal risks and uncertainties   The 2025 Annual Report for Irish Residential Properties REIT plc, approved on 8 April 2026, outlined the Group’s principal risks and uncertainties. These risks have been revisited mid-year to assess their relevance and highlight any material changes. The Directors have listed below the continuing principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining 6 months of the financial year. These should be read alongside the Group’s Risk Report in the Annual Report to understand the risk management and internal control systems, as well as the directors’ processes for identifying and measuring these risks. No new risks or uncertainties have been added or removed since 8 April 2026. Risk Description Jun 26 Rating/ Trend Apr 26 Rating/ Trend Risk Description Jun 26 Rating/ Trend Apr 26 Rating/ Trend Geopolitical instability, Economy, and Inflation é é Balance Sheet Management çè çè Regulatory and Legislative Impacts çè ê Compliance Obligations çè çè Portfolio Management   & Investment çè çè Cyber Security & Data Protection é é Operational Management çè çè Climate Change & Environmental Sustainability é é Access to Capital ê çè Major Safety, Health, Security or Asset Loss Incident çè çè   Residual Risk Rating     High Medium Low     ê ê ê Decreasing     Trend çè çè çè Stable é é é Increasing   As shown in the table above there have been no changes to the residual risk assessment for the 10 key headings. In the case of the Regulatory and Legislative impact category the trend has been revised to stable as the clarity provided by the new rent regulations takes effect. The risk profile relating to access to capital is considered to be improving, reflecting enhanced debt market conditions, increased availability of institutional capital for Irish residential investment, positive investor sentiment towards Ireland and growing evidence of improved liquidity and transaction activity across the property market, notwithstanding continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. This improvement is reflected in the risk trend shown as decreasing reflecting that more positive assessment. Consideration was given to the impact of the regulatory changes to the dynamics of the residential investment sector and the related impact on the Portfolio Management and Investment heading, but it was felt no change was warranted at this point. All the key risk areas are kept under ongoing review for change in their profiles and for any required mitigation responses by I-RES.   \n\n  Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities   For the half year ended 30 June 2026 The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 (“Transparency Directive”), and the Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland. In preparing the condensed set of consolidated financial statements included within the half-yearly financial report, the Directors are required to: Prepare and present the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU, and the Transparency Directive and the Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland; Ensure the condensed set of consolidated financial statements has adequate disclosures; Select and apply appropriate accounting policies; and Make accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Assess the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.   The Directors are responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining such internal controls as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the condensed set of consolidated financial statements that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. We confirm that to the best of our knowledge: The condensed set of consolidated financial statements included within the half-yearly financial report of Irish Residential Properties REIT plc for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (“the interim financial information”) which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows, and the related explanatory notes, have been presented and prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU, the Transparency Directive and Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland. The interim financial information presented, as required by the Transparency Directive, includes: An indication of important events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the financial year, and their impact on the condensed set of consolidated financial statements; A description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining 6 months of the financial year Related parties’ transactions that have taken place in the first 6 months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the enterprise during that period; and Any changes in the related parties’ transactions described in the last annual report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the enterprise in the first 6 months of the current financial year.   The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Entity’s website. Legislation in the Republic of Ireland governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. On behalf of the Board on 13 August 2026.       Hugh Scott-Barrett         Eddie Byrne Chair             Executive Director     Independent Review Report to Irish Residential Properties REIT plc (“the Entity”)   Conclusion We have been engaged by the Entity to review the Entity’s condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 is not prepared, in all material respects in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as adopted by the EU and the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 (“Transparency Directive”), and the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019 (“Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland).   Basis for conclusion We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“ISRE (Ireland) 2410”) issued for use in Ireland. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.   Conclusions relating to going concern Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting, or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not been appropriately disclosed. This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (Ireland) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern, and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the Entity will continue in operation. \n\n      Independent Review Report to Irish Residential Properties REIT plc (“the Entity”) (continued)   Directors’ responsibilities The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Transparency Directive and the Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland.

Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report.   The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities This report is made solely to the Entity in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Entity in meeting the requirements of the Transparency Directive and the Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group The below amended standard became applicable for the current reporting period. However, the adoption of the amended accounting standard did not result in any material changes. Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Effective Date 1 January 2026 Future Accounting Changes I-RES has assessed the new or amended IFRS issued by the IASB for annual reporting periods beginning after 31 December 2025 listed below. The adoption of IFRS 18 should not affect the totals of the Group’s assets, liabilities, equity, income or expenses. It is expected that the presentation of the categories making up the statement of profit or loss will be affected and additional performance measures may be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements – effective from 1 January 2027 IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures – effective from 1 January 2027 IFRS 20 Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities   – effective from 1 January 2027   ‘ 2.    Material Accounting Policies (continued)   Basis of preparation (continued) Future Accounting Changes (continued) Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency – effective from 1 January 2027 Amendments to the Fair Value Option in IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – effective from 1 January 2027 Going concern The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash and deposit balances. The Group’s plans indicate that it should have adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. The Group’s occupancy rate remained strong at 99.4%. The Group also has a strong statement of financial position with sufficient liquidity and flexibility in place. The Group has undrawn facilities of €148 million as at 30 June 2026. The Group generated positive cashflows from operations for the six months ended 30 June 2026. Accordingly, the Directors of the Company consider it appropriate that the Group adopts the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Basis of consolidation These condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of I-RES and its subsidiaries, IRES Residential Properties Limited, IRES Fund Management Limited, IRES Residential Properties (Tara View) Limited and IRES Residential Properties (Orion) Limited. I-RES controls these subsidiaries by virtue of its 100% shareholding in the companies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.   Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by I-RES. I-RES controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The financial information of subsidiaries (except owners’ management companies) is included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. I-RES does not consolidate owners’ management companies in which it holds majority voting rights. For further details, please refer to note 19.   Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgements that in some cases relate to matters that are inherently uncertain and which affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Areas of such estimation include, but are not limited to, valuation of investment properties and valuation of financial instruments. Changes to estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The valuation estimate of investment properties is deemed to be significant. See note 16(a) and note 5 for a detailed discussion of valuation methods and the significant assumptions and estimates used. \n\n  Recent Investment Property Acquisitions, Developments and Disposals For the period 1 January 2026 to 30 June 2026 Acquisitions Name Unit Count Region Cost of Acquisition €'000 Charlestown Place 2 North Dublin 464 Total 2   464 Disposals Name Unit Count Region Net proceeds from disposal €'000 Individual units 18 South Dublin, North Dublin 7,247 Total 18   7,247 For the year 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 Disposals Name Unit Count Region Net proceeds from disposal €'000 Individual units 41 South Dublin, North Dublin 15,656 Total 41   15,656   Investment Properties Valuation basis Investment properties are carried at fair value, which is the amount at which the individual properties could be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, considering the highest and best use of the asset, with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised through profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year. The Group uses Savills and CBRE as external independent valuers. The Group’s investment property is rotated between these valuers on a periodic basis. The valuers fair valued all of the Group’s investment properties as at 30 June 2026. The valuers employ qualified valuation professionals who have recent experience in the location and category of the respective properties. Valuations are prepared on a bi-annual basis at the interim reporting date and the annual reporting date. The information provided to the valuers and the assumptions, valuation methodologies and models used by the valuers are reviewed by management. The valuers meet with the Audit Committee and discuss directly the valuation results as at 30 June and 31 December each year. The Board determines the Group’s valuation policies and procedures for property valuations. The Board decides which independent valuers to appoint for the external valuation of the Group’s properties. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. Investment property producing income For investment property, the income approach/yield methodology involves applying market-derived yields to current and projected future income streams. These yields and future income streams are derived from comparable property transactions and are considered to be the key inputs in the valuation. Other factors that are taken into account include the tenure of the lease, tenancy details and planning, building and environmental factors that might affect the property. Effective March 1 st 2026, the Irish Government introduced a suite of new rental regulations, which include the ability to reset the rent of a particular unit when a tenant vacates and a new lease is put in place. As a result, the valuations for this period have been impacted by the changes in regulation and reflect the new rent regulation environment and the release of a portion of the embedded reversion. \n\n  ‘ 5.    Investment Properties (continued) Assets held for sale At 30 June 2026, I-RES has identified 20 units across 3 properties as assets held for sale amounting to €6.5 million (31 December 2025: 21 units across 5 properties amounting to €6.5 million). Management has committed to a plan to sell these properties, which are available for immediate sale, and we expect the disposals to close in the next twelve months. Development land In the case of development land, the approach applied is the comparable sales approach, which considers recent sales activity for similar land parcels in the same or similar markets. Land values are estimated using either a per acre or per buildable square foot basis based on highest and best use. Such values are applied to the Group’s properties after adjusting for factors specific to the site, including its location, zoning, servicing and configuration. Information about fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3) At 30 June 2026, the Group considers that all of its investment properties fall within Level 3 fair value as defined by IFRS 13. As outlined in IFRS 13, a Level 3 fair value recognises that the significant inputs and considerations made in determining the fair value of property investments cannot be derived from publicly available data, as the valuation methodology in respect of a property also has to rely on a number of unobservable inputs including technical reports, legal data, building costs, rental analysis (including rent moratorium), professional opinion on profile, lot size, layout and presentation of accommodation. In addition, the valuers utilise proprietary databases maintained in respect of properties similar to the assets being valued. The Group tests the reasonableness of all significant unobservable inputs, including yields and stabilised net rental income (“Stabilised NRI”) used in the valuation and reviews the results with the independent valuers for all independent valuations. The Stabilised NRI represents cash flows from property revenue less property operating expenses, adjusted for market-based assumptions such as market rents, short term and long-term vacancy rates, bad debts, management fees and repairs and maintenance. These cashflows are estimates for current and projected future income streams. Sensitivity analysis Stabilised NRI and “Equivalent Yields” are key inputs in the valuation model used. Equivalent Yield is the rate of return on a property investment based on current and projected future income streams that such property investment will generate. This is derived by the external valuers and is used to set the term and reversionary yields. For example, completed properties are valued mainly using a term and reversion model. For the existing rental contract or term, estimated Stabilised NRI is based on the expected rents from residents over the period to the next lease break option or expiry. After this period, the reversion, estimated Stabilised NRI is based on expectations from current market conditions. Thus, a decrease in the estimated Stabilised NRI will decrease the fair value and an increase in the estimated Stabilised NRI will increase the fair value. The Equivalent Yields magnify the effect of a change in Stabilised NRI, with a lower yield resulting in a greater effect on the fair value of investment properties than a higher Equivalent Yield. For investment properties producing income (excluding assets held for sale), an increase of 1% in the Equivalent Yield would have the impact of a €179 million reduction in fair value while a decrease of 1% in the Equivalent Yield would result in a fair value increase of €251 million. An increase between 1% - 4% in Stabilised NRI would result in a fair value increase ranging from €13 million to €51 million respectively in fair value, while a decrease between 1% - 4% in Stabilised NRI would have an impact of a reduction ranging from €13 million to €51 million, respectively. I-RES believes that this range of change in Stabilised NRI is a reasonable estimate based on potential changes in net rental income. ‘ 5.    Investment Properties (continued) Sensitivity analysis (continued) The direct operating expenses recognised in the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the Group is €9.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (30 June 2025: €9.4 million), arising from investment property that generated rental income during the period. The direct operating expenses are comprised of the following significant categories: property taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance, wages, insurance, service charges and IT costs. The direct operating expenses recognised in the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income arising from investment property that did not generate rental income for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025 was not material. An investment property is comprised of various components, including undeveloped land and vacant residential and commercial units; no direct operating costs were specifically allocated to the components noted above.

In March 2025, I-RES terminated the existing €500 million facility provided by Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Banks P.L.C. and HSBC Bank PLC. This facility was refinanced through a new 5 year Revolving Credit Facility of €500m maturing in March 2030. This facility is provided by The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Banks P.L.C, ABN Amro Bank N.V and Barclays Bank Ireland P.L.C. The new RCF includes a €200 million uncommitted accordion facility. The interest on the facility is based on a margin rate of 2.05% plus the one-month EURIBOR rate. I-RES has entered into €275 million of interest rate swaps associated with this new facility as outlined in note 15. In November 2025, I-RES converted the above RCF into a Sustainability Linked Loan (“SLL”) that aligns with the Loan Market Association’s March 2025 principles for sustainable finance. The SLL ties financing costs to independently verified Sustainability Performance Indicators. This reduced the margin rate to 2.00% plus the one-month EURIBOR rate. Depending on performance against the KPI’s as set out under the SLL the margin may increase or decrease by 5bps or at a point between, i.e. a margin of between 1.95%-2.05%. In April 2026, all KPIs in the most recent review period were met, which reduced the margin to 1.95%. This margin will remain in place until the next KPI review in early 2027. ‘ 8.    Bank Indebtedness (continued) In June 2026, the Company exercised the first option to extend the RCF maturity date by 12 months out until March 2031. A commitment fee is charged on the undrawn loan amount of the RCF. The effective interest rate in the period for the RCF is 4.69% (FY 2025: 4.70%). The financial covenants in relation to the RCF principally relate to Loan to Value and Interest Cover Ratio. I-RES has complied with all its debt financial covenants to which it was subject during the period. Gross Loan to Value has remained below the required 50% at 43.1%. Interest Cover has remained above the requirement of 200% at 249% for the last twelve months. Private Placement Notes On 11 March 2020, I-RES successfully issued €130 million of notes and IRES Residential Properties Limited, its subsidiary, issued $75 million of notes on a private placement basis (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.92% inclusive of a USD/Euro swap and an effective interest rate of 1.92%. Interest is paid semi-annually on 10 March and 10 September. The Notes have been placed in four tranches: As at       30 June 2026 31 December 2025   Maturity Contractual interest rate Derivative Rates €'000 €'000 EUR Series A Senior Secured Notes 10 March 2030 1.83% n/a 90,000 90,000 EUR Series B Senior Secured Notes 10 March 2032 1.98% n/a 40,000 40,000 USD Series A Senior Secured Notes (1) 10 March 2027 3.44% 1.87% 43,758 42,593 USD Series B Senior Secured Notes (2) 10 March 2030 3.63% 2.25% 21,879 21,297         195,637 193,890 Deferred financing costs, net       (960) (1,080) Total Private Placement Notes       194,677 192,810   (1)   The principal amount of the USD Series A Senior Secured Notes is USD $50 million.   (2)   The principal amount of the USD Series B Senior Secured Notes is USD $25 million.   The Notes are secured by a floating charge over the assets of the Group and a fixed charge over the shares held by the Company in IRES Residential Properties Limited on a pari passu basis. Share-based Compensation Options Options are issuable pursuant to I-RES’ share-based compensation plan, namely, the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). For details on options granted under the LTIP, please refer to the statutory financial statements prepared for the year ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024. As at 30 June 2026, the maximum number of additional options, or Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) issuable under the LTIP is 47,431,832 (30 June 2025: 48,729,120). LTIP For the six months ended WA exercise price 30 June 2026 30 June 2025 Share Options outstanding as at 1 January 1.61 — 4,596,499 Issued, cancelled or granted during the period:       Expired in the period   — (4,596,499) Share Options outstanding as at 30 June (1)   — — (1) Of the Share Options outstanding above, nil were exercisable at 30 June 2026 (30 June 2025: nil).   The fair value of options has been determined as at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. 10.   Share-based Compensation (continued) Restricted Stock Unit Awards Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were first awarded in the year ended 31 December 2020. Under the remuneration policy, recipients of RSUs are granted a variable number of equity instruments depending on their salary. The awards are subject to vesting against market and non-market based conditions. A summary of the outstanding awards is set out in the table below. All awards are outstanding at 30 June 2026. Date of award Number of awards EPS Growth (% of award) TSR Performance (% of award) Total Accounting Return (% of award) Sustainability Metrics 28 May 2024 1,166,544 30% 30% 30% 10% 21 March 2025 1,303,386 30% 30% 30% 10% 19 February 2026 1,297,288 30% 30% 30% 10%   During the period, 1,245,172 awards granted did not vest and have therefore lapsed. There is between a 24 month and 61 month holding period post vesting, but this is not subject to measurement as all conditions terminate on vesting. The LTIP awards are measured as follows: Market-based condition: The expected performance of I-RES shares over the vesting period is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Inputs are share price volatility for I-RES and the average growth rate. These inputs are calculated with reference to relevant historical data and financial models. It should be recognised that the assumption of an average growth rate is not a prediction of the actual level of returns that will be achieved. The volatility assumption in the distribution gives a measure of the range of outcomes that may occur on either side of this average value. This is used to amortise the fair value of an expected cost over the vesting period. On vesting, any difference in amounts accrued versus actual is amended through reserves. Non-market-based conditions: The fair value of the shares to be issued is determined using the grant-date market price. The expected number of shares is calculated based on the expectations of the number of shares which may vest at the vesting date and amortised over the vesting period. At each reporting date, the calculation of the number of shares is revised according to current expectations or performance The awards are subject to various criteria as outlined in the table above. The 2024-2026 awards are relative to the residential subsector of this index for TSR. Results and inputs are summarised in the table below:     2026 RSU Awards 2025 RSU Awards 2024 RSU Awards Fair value per award (Market-based component) (per share)   €0.63 €0.64 €0.44 Inputs         Risk free interest rate (%)   2.16% 2.30% 3.01% Historical volatility   20.99% 23.18% 24.09%           Fair value per award (Non-market-based component) (per share)   €0.96 €0.83 €0.84 Inputs         Two year Risk free interest rate (%)   2.06% 2.21% 3.08% Two year Expected volatility   19.72% 21.72% 24.13% ’ \n\n  10.    Share-based Compensation (continued)        ‘ b)    Restricted Stock Unit Awards (continued) The expected volatility is based on historic market volatility prior to the issuance. The total share-based compensation expense relating to options for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was €nil (30 June 2025: €nil) and total share-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock unit awards for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was €408,000 (30 June 2025: €210,000). During the period, €1.5m of expired and unvested share options and restricted stock units were transferred from the share based payment reserve to retained earnings as outlined in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. This amount was previously expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Shareholders' Equity All equity shares outstanding are fully paid and are voting shares. Equity shares represent a shareholder’s proportionate undivided beneficial interest in I-RES. No equity share has any preference or priority over another. No shareholder has or is deemed to have any right of ownership in any of the assets of I-RES. Each share confers the right to cast one vote at any meeting of shareholders and to participate pro rata in any distributions by I-RES and, in the event of termination of I-RES, in the net assets of I-RES remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities. Shares are issued in registered form and are transferable. In the first half of 2025, I-RES conducted a €5 million share buyback which resulted in the recognition and immediate cancellation of €5 million treasury shares. The number of shares authorised is as follows: As at 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 Authorised Share Capital 1,000,000,000 1,000,000,000 Ordinary shares of €0.10 each     The number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares is as follows: As at 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 Ordinary shares outstanding, beginning of period 524,442,218 529,578,946 Purchase and cancellation of own shares (1) — (5,136,728) Ordinary shares outstanding, end of period 524,442,218 524,442,218 (1) 2025: The Company purchased and immediately cancelled 5.1m of its own ordinary shares between 20 March 2025 and 28 April 2025. Revenue from Investment Properties I-RES generates revenue primarily from the rental income from investment properties. Rental income represents lease revenue earned from the conveyance of the right to use the property, including access to common areas, to a lessee for an agreed period of time. The rental contract also contains an undertaking that common areas and amenities will be maintained to a certain standard. This right of use of the property and maintenance performance obligation is governed by a single rental contract with the tenant. I-RES has evaluated the lease and non-lease components of its rental revenue and has determined that common area maintenance services constitute a single non-lease element, which is accounted for as one performance obligation under IFRS 15 and is recognised separately to rental income.

This hedging agreement is accounted for as a cashflow hedge in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9. Hedges are measured for effectiveness at each reporting date with the effective portion being recognised in equity in the hedging reserve and the ineffective portion being recognised through profit or loss. For the period ended 30 June 2026, the ineffective portion that has been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income was a gain of €nil (30 June 2025: loss of €17,000). The fair value gain of the effective portion of €1,873,000 (30 June 2025 loss of €7,246,000) was included in the cash flow hedge reserve along with a loss on hedging of €8,000 (30 June 2025: loss €39,000) .
