Marc Oursin, Shurgard Chief Executive Officer

"Shurgard delivered another solid year in 2025, continuing to outperform the European self-storage industry. Our platform has expanded significantly, with +23% additional sqm versus 2023, ending the year 2025 with 1.7 million sqm (owned stores). This expansion, combined with disciplined execution, enabled our 2025 revenue to grow by c. 11% and Underlying EBITDA c. 10% versus 2024, despite inflationary pressure (wages and real estate taxes) and puts us on a strong medium-term earnings growth trajectory.

Our funding strategy, including €300 million capital raised in 2023, €1 billion of new debt during 2024 and 2025, and the offering of the scrip dividends, allowed us to support this growth while maintaining our BBB+ rating. Despite the scrip dilutionary impact, Adj. EPRA earnings increased in 2025 versus 2024 by c. 4%, Adj. EPRA earnings per share by c. 2%, and we continued to issue a dividend of €1.17 per share, resulting in a c. 4% dividend yield.

Generally, market conditions evolved as expected in 2025. Q4 showed a more competitive environment in several markets (UK, the Netherlands, France and Germany), while the Nordics continued to perform strongly. The demand stayed stable, but the pricing actions required to keep high occupancy (same store c. 89%) negatively impacted revenues and operational margins more than anticipated in Q4, flowing through to EBITDA.

Our same store revenue growth, in early 2026, moved towards stabilization with non-mature properties ramping up consistently and our guidance for 2026 reflects this with a targeted all store revenue growth up to 8% and an anticipated Adj. EPRA earnings growth up to 6%.

To further accelerate medium-term Adj. EPRA earnings per share growth, we are increasing our NOI yield on cost at maturity to 9%-10% for projects approved as of 2026 (+100bps to current requirement), and our Board has decided to stop the scrip dividend option. We remain strongly committed to our BBB+ rating and continue to focus on retaining our LTV target of below 25% (currently 23%) and meeting our revised Net debt/Underlying EBITDA medium target of 5.0x-6.0x (current actuals 6.2x), both well in line with S&P requirements.

In summary, our strategy and focus are to deliver a significant medium term EPS growth based on the following key elements:

  • Leverage the size and omnichannel efficiency of our platform;

  • Benefit from the non-mature stores additional NOI growth (extra footage from 2023-24-25 and pipeline 2026-2028);

  • Increase by 100bp our required NOI yield on cost at maturity rate for new developments as of 2026 to 9%-10%;

  • Stop the scrip dividend, full payout in cash;

  • Maintain our BBB+ rating."

      • Real estate operating revenue grew by 10.9% in 2025, reaching €450.9 million, driven by:

        • Increase in rentable sqm (+5.0%) through +14 stores, as well as re-mixes and redevelopments, allowing for ramp up of average rented sqm by +8.8%; and

        • Increase of revenue per sqm through average in-place rent +1.9%.

      • Operating profit amounted to €778.0 million mainly as a result of:

        • An Underlying EBITDA of €265.7 million (+10.4%), showing the impact of portfolio expansion and economies of scale; and

        • Revaluation gains on the fair value of our investment properties of €519.5 million.

      • Underlying EBITDA margin reached 58.9%, explained by:

        • More challenging market dynamics in Q4, which flew through to Underlying EBITDA.

        • Demand remained strong, and move-outs were in line with expectations during Q4. However, more aggressive competitor pricing in parts of our network required us to adopt a similarly aggressive approach, consistent with our adaptive pricing strategy.

      • Profit for the year ended the year with €599.3 million, or 6.0€ of basic earnings per share:

        • Adjusting for the typical EPRA driven adjustments and excluding notably the impact of valuation gains on investment property and deferred taxes, this translates into Adj. EPRA earnings of €173.1 million (+3.7% vs. prior year); and

        • Despite the dilutive impact of the scrip dividends, Adj. EPRA earnings per share was 1.74€ (+1.7%).

      • Our same store property operating revenue growth (representing 83% of all store revenue) grew by 3.2% for the full year and decelerated as expected and guided.

      • Our four largest markets (UK, the Netherlands, France and Germany) experienced a stronger deceleration in Q4, due to the abovementioned competitive environment, despite steady demand, while the Nordics confirmed their strong performance.

      • Same store average rented sqm remained stable compared to 2024, with 89.0% average same store occupancy, slightly below prior year, reflecting partly the increase in rentable sqm.

      • Same store average in-place rent grew by 3.5%, above inflation, demonstrating the continued success of our adaptive pricing strategy, even in competitive markets.

      • Same store NOI margin continued to improve by 0.4pp for the year 2025 vs. 2024. This reflects (i) realized synergies from our recent acquisitions, (ii) the cost benefits from our store clustering, and (iii) the overall scalability of our unique operating platform, allowing us to compensate inflationary pressure.

    3. - Update on the 2024 UK portfolio acquisition: delivering according to plan
      • Building up on our proven commercial model, we grew the average occupancy of the former Lok'nStore portfolio acquired in the UK from 67% (at acquisition date, August 2024) to 80% (or 102,000 sqm) rented as of December 2025. This means that we rented c. 17,000 additional sqm compared to takeover. We are on track to achieve c. 90% occupancy by December 2026.

      • We successfully rebranded 28 stores and upgraded them to meet our own building standards.

      • We delivered the upper range of expected synergies (c. €5 million) through operational efficiencies, the integration of the company in our UK-REIT structure, and the reduced general and administration expenses.

    4. - Portfolio expansion
      • c. 91,350 sqm of projects completed and delivered in 2025:

        • 12 developments: +59,800 sqm (€133.0 million total project costs);

        • 9 redevelopments: +13,700 sqm (€25.1 million total project costs);

        • 3 acquisitions: +17,850 sqm (€55.3 million total project costs).

      • c. 158,600 sqm from our 2026-2027 secured pipeline:

      While 2025 results have been solid and confirmed our earnings growth trajectory, our 2026 outlook reflects our ambition to further accelerate medium-term Adj. EPRA earnings per share growth:

      • All stores revenue growth estimated to be 6.0%-8.0%, supported by larger pool of stores not yet matured and in ramp up.

      • Underlying EBITDA expected to land in a range between €278 and €289 million, reflecting our ability to compensate for cost pressure through operational excellence in our same store network, with particular cost drivers being:
        • Store payroll expenses in our same store segment are expected to grow less than inflation, with continued roll out of our clusterization model, whereby more and more stores are remotely managed (over 60% in clusters);

        • Real estate taxes are expected to grow by c. 6% for our same store pool, mainly driven by business rates increase in the UK (66% out of total foreseen increase).

      • We envisage interest expenses to grow to €57.5-59.5 million for the fiscal year.

      • Adj. EPRA earnings growth expected to land between 1.0% and 6.0% with a corresponding Adj. EPRA earnings per share growth of -1.0% to 4.0%.
      • We continue to distribute a dividend of 1.17€/share, without scrip optionality, i.e. in cash only.

      • NOI yield on cost at maturity increased by 100bps to 9%-10% for development projects approved as of 2026.
      • We plan to add 100,000 to 125,000 sqm to our portfolio, with 2026 calendar year capex estimated to be between

        €250 and €315 million.

      • Net debt/Underlying EBITDA ratio to end up between 6.5x and 6.8x.
