Business Review Internalised Operating Platform Drives Strong Operational Performance The Company delivered a strong financial and operational performance in H1 2025, making progress against strategic objectives and delivering incremental improvements across numerous key performance indicators. Our high-quality portfolio of modern and sustainable properties remained effectively fully occupied at 30 June 2025 at 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. Organic rental increases in Ireland under the current rental regulations are limited to the lower of 2% or the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (“HICP). These renewal increases were impacted by the low rate of prevailing HICP inflation in H2 2024, continuing in H1 2025. As a result of this combined with asset disposals completed as part of our ongoing asset recycling plan, reported revenue declined by 0.4% in the period to €42.6 million. During the period 6% of the portfolio units turned over, a slight drop from 2024 (c.7%) and reflects the significant supply and demand imbalance in the market, the lack of options available for our residents in the market and the fact that a number of units where leases ended were not turned over as they were disposed of as part of the asset disposal programme. Net Rental Income (“NRI”) increased by 1.6% in the period. NRI margin in H1 2025 was 78.0% (H1 2024: 76.5%), with this increasing from 76.8% for the full year 2024, despite the continued disposals as part of the asset recycling plan. As highlighted by sequential margin improvements, we are making strong progress implementing additional income generating and cost management initiatives to improve the profitability of our real estate portfolio, such as an intense focus on cash collections, savings achieved from 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. Whilst the NRI margin was aided by certain one-off items in H1, primarily OMC credits from prior year charges, we have continued to progress other cost saving measures which we expect to see in H2 and into 2026. Adjusted G 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, and excludes non-recurring costs. Despite inflationary pressures in some of these cost items, we have managed to achieve a moderate decrease of 2.1% in G expenses to €5.9m (€6.0m H1 2024) through focused cost control. 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 facilities are priced at Euribor plus a margin of 2.05%. Hedging instruments in the amount of €275 million have been put in place for five years, 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 3.73% in H1 2025, broadly in line with the Group’s weighted average financing costs in 2024 of 3.79%. As a result, the financing costs in H1 2025 remained broadly in line with H1 2024 at €12.2 million despite costs incurred for the acceleration of the deferred loan costs associated with the refinancing of the RCF at c.€0.6 million. The Company delivered growth of 23.2% in EPRA earnings at €14.5 million and 23.8% in EPRA EPS in the period driven by the elimination of non-recurring costs in 2025 and the increase in NRI margin. On an adjusted basis EPRA Earnings grew by 2.4% and adjusted EPRA EPS grew by 2.9% driven by ancillary revenue initiatives and rigorous cost management programmes. In H1 2025, the Company has completed the disposal of 16 units in total as part of the overall disposal target of 315 units, achieving sales premiums in excess of 25% and gross proceeds of €6.6 million. This takes the total number of units disposed under the programme to 57. As a result of these disposals Adjusted Earnings (excluding fair value movements) increased 9.5% from €14.6 million to €16.0 million.
The Company continues to actively dispose of the identified units and given the strong sales premia achieved in H1, expect that the disposal premiums will be in excess of the previously guided average sales premium of between 15% and 20%. At 30 June 2025, 16 units are in a sales process which we expect to complete in the coming months.
I-RES recognises its investment properties at fair value at each reporting period, with any unrealised gain or loss on remeasurement recognised in the profit or loss account. In the period, the fair value gain recorded on investment properties was €0.3 million, reflecting the stabilisation of yields across the wider Irish residential market and positive organic growth. We are encouraged by the continued yield stabilisation witnessed in the market for the last twelve months after two years of expansion. Our Gross yield was 7.1% at period end, well in excess of our weighted average cost of interest of 3.73%. As outlined previously, the Irish Government has announced a proposed 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. The proposed regulations are set to take effect on 1st of March 2026. As a result, if the proposed changes are enacted and there is a subsequent increase in the income profile of our properties, we expect there to be a positive impact on valuations, assuming no market yields movement. Legislation enacting the proposed changes is still to go through the legislative process and therefore valuations for this period are not impacted by the proposed change in regulations.
Yields
Our average monthly rent increased to €1,823 from €1,796 at 30 June 2024 representing an increase of 1.5% reflecting selective disposal of underperforming and lower quality assets and organic growth. Despite this our portfolio is currently estimated to be 19% below market rent. Occupancy of 99.5% (H1 2024: 99.6%) reflects an effective full occupancy rate which is supported by our mid-market residential sector positioning and continues to highlight the supply/demand imbalance in the market. AMR and Occupancy
Operational and Financial Results Net Rental Income and Profit for the Six Months Ended
Balance Sheet Our total investment property value at 30 June 2025 was €1,230.2 million (including assets held for sale). This represents a 0.2% reduction compared to 31 December 2024 driven by the impact of the disposal of 16 units as part of our ongoing asset recycling programme. Yields and valuations remained broadly flat in the period with EPRA Net Initial Yield at 5.2% as at 30 June 2025, slightly up as at 31 December 2024 at 5.1%. 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. 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 recently refinanced €500 million RCF and c. €200 million (Euro Equivalent) of Private Placement Notes. The successful refinancing of the RCF in the period, has extended the facilities for 5 years to 2030 with two one-year extension options, strengthening the company’s capital structure. The company has no debt maturities before 2027, and laddering is out to 2032 thereafter. Net LTV at 30 June 2025 stood at 45.0%, up from 44.4% at 31 December 2024. The increase in LTV can be attributed to the successful completion of the Share buyback programme and the arrangement fee and associated costs of our refinancing. 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 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. The maturity of the notes is laddered over circa six, nine and eleven years, with the first repayment due in March 2027. Drawn debt facilities are predominantly hedged against interest rate volatility, with 85% of the debt fully fixed. The Group has a weighted average drawn debt maturity of 4.6 years and no debt maturities before 2027. The weighted average cost of interest is 3.73% for H1 2025 (31 December 2024: 3.79%). The remaining undrawn committed facilities are c. €138 million. The IFRS NAV per share is 126.9c, up from 126.2c at 31 December 2024 aided by the impact of the share buyback programme.
(1) The principal amount of USD notes is $75 million. The movement during the period relates to foreign exchange movements. I-RES has entered into cross currency swaps to fix this at €68.8 million. (2) Includes commitment fee charged on the undrawn portion of the RCF facility.
In line with our capital allocation strategy and recognising the discount between the Company’s share price and its Net Asset Value per share the Company utilised excess capital generated through premia achieved on disposals to execute a share buyback of €5 million in the period, with approx. 5.1 million shares purchased at an average price per share of 97.3 cents. 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 the Company’s funds to best deliver on the long-term objective of maximising value for shareholders.
Capital Allocation The Board remains committed to maximising value for shareholders and addressing the discount between the Company’s current market capitalisation and Net Asset Value. In line with this objective, proceeds from the ongoing asset recycling programme are expected to be deployed towards:
Proceeds realised from the disposal programme have enabled the Company to successfully maintain Net LTV within the target range and execute a Share buyback programme during the period. 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. In light of the current market environment and taking account of the current steep discount between the Company’s share price and its Net Asset Value per share, the Board believes it is appropriate to continue to focus on the above value accretive allocation strategies.
In line with Irish REIT legislation, the Board intends to declare a dividend of 2.36 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2025, 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. This represents a 25.5% increase on prior period dividend of 1.88 cents per share. Public Policy The Company welcomes the Government’s ambition to increase the supply of housing, in particular new rental accommodation, in Ireland. The Company believes that the suite of proposed new rent regulations announced by Government on the 10th of June 2025 is a positive step in addressing the issues of viability that are facing new apartment developments. These proposed changes along with the subsequent announcement of changes to building regulations will help address these issues of viability which have made yields in Ireland an outlier relative to EU peers. The Company believes these proposed changes in rent and building regulations will provide enhanced conditions to unlock residential development, allowing activity to regather some momentum which will contribute positively to the increase of essential new housing supply in Ireland. The Company welcomes these positive changes, and we will continue to engage with Government and advocate for further positive change. Although the proposed new rules will not take effect until the 1st of March 2026, subsequent to proceeding through the legislative process, the Company believes the changes which allow units to be relet at the market rate on turnover will be positive for the company, enhancing returns on the existing portfolio by enabling it to capture the significant reversion embedded in the portfolio. Under the proposed new rules each unit in the portfolio, with a lease commencement after 1st March 2026, that has a turnover will be eligible to be relet at market rent. According to independent valuers the I-RES portfolio is currently 19% under current market rent. On leases commenced after 1st March 2026 the company will be able to capture this reversion on turnover or every six years where a turnover does not take place. Governance As announced by the Company in June 2025, Vision Capital Corporation (“Vision”) notified the Company that its ownership had dropped below 3%. As at 1 July 2025, Vision’s shareholding had reduced to nil. As a result of Vision no longer holding 3% or more of the issued share Capital, and in accordance with her letter of appointment, Amy Freedman has tendered her resignation as a director of the Company. Given the important contribution that Ms. Freedman is making to the Board and to ensure an orderly transition, Ms. Freedman will continue to serve as a director until the AGM in May 2026, at which point her resignation will become effective. Richard Nesbitt remains a Director. His appointment is not affected by Vision’s shareholding in the Company. The Nomination Committee continue to review Board composition. Given the Board’s wish to reduce the size of the Board, it is not their intention to replace Ms. Freedman at the 2026 AGM.
Outlook Looking ahead, the Company expects to continue to deliver efficiencies from its market leading internally managed platform, driving margin improvements and earnings growth. The Company will continue to execute strategic initiatives to maximise shareholder value with a focus on crystalising value through the sale of individual units at a premium to book and initiatives which boost NRI through increasing revenues and reducing costs. With a highly efficient and scalable internalised platform, set against the backdrop of positive regulatory change and improving market conditions, the company is exceptionally well positioned to take advantage of tailwinds to drive earnings growth and enhanced shareholder value. The Government announcement of the proposed new rental regulation during the period has improved the outlook and the future income profile of the business. The Company believes this change will be positive for the business, but also for the market as improved returns will lead to increased investment and improved liquidity in residential assets, potentially allowing for much needed new stock to also be delivered. The Company will maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, focusing on balance sheet management, delivering attractive returns to shareholders through the ongoing ordinary dividend, and long-term value creation through capitalising on opportunities in the market to invest in strategically located assets which enhance shareholder value or continuing to return capital to shareholders should the large discount to NAV persist. I-RES is well positioned to drive growth and shareholder value and approach the remainder of 2025 with confidence.

Further Progress on our Sustainability Journey I-RES continues to make progress on our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) ambitions through environmental action and social impact. We released our latest ESG report in the first half of 2025, highlighting the significant progress we have made against our three core strategic pillars: Operating Responsibly, Protecting the Environment, and Building Communities. We are continuing that progress into 2025. 1. Operating Responsibly Disclosure Building on recent improvements achieved in our GRESB and CDP ratings we have now also improved our MSCI rating from BBB to A, our S Global Corporate Sustainability Rating has increased to 42 from 34 and our ISS-Corporate Rating has improved from 7 to 6 for Environment. We are closely monitoring developments regarding proposed changes to CSRD reporting requirements as we continue our preparations for reporting in respect of 2025. Risk Management We assessed our sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities through a Double Materiality assessment in late 2024. These findings are guiding physical and transitional climate risk assessments, as well as resilience and scenario analyses within the climate transition planning ongoing in 2025. Responsible Sourcing In 2024, our suppliers completed an ESG questionnaire and attended a sustainability education forum to evaluate their alignment with our ESG strategy. Based on these results and feedback, we continue to measure scope 3 supply chain emissions and identify emission reduction opportunities. 2. Protecting the Environment We are prioritising Building Energy Rating improvements and efficiency projects as we develop our Climate Transition Plan to achieve Net Zero carbon by 2050. As part of this, in 2025 we are updating our carbon footprint assessment and having it third party assured. The output will guide data-driven targets. We are participating in the CRU’s (Commission for the Regulation of Utilities) smart meter programme to enhance energy data collection and have installed additional water meters with Uisce Éireann to support better data capture and efficiency planning. Biodiversity initiatives across our portfolio continue to aid pollination and wildlife. We have maintained zero waste to landfill for directly managed assets, and our waste management programme is improving with new resources for residents. 3. Building Communities Residents We are committed to delivering exceptional customer service and providing safe, secure, comfortable, and high-quality homes, while fostering vibrant communities for our residents. Our annual Resident Survey continues to yield valuable feedback; our Net Promoter Score remains strong compared to industry benchmarks, particularly among younger and newer residents. Resident satisfaction is highest in areas such as maintenance, landscaping, exterior upkeep, and waste management. Interest in community events has grown, with one in four residents attending an I-RES event in 2024. Over 30 engagement events were hosted across our portfolio in 2024, and we anticipate maintaining this level of outreach in 2025. Employees Demonstrating our ongoing commitment to employee well-being and experience at I-RES, we introduced several enhancements to our employee benefits and support offerings in 2024 including the launch of a new Learning Development framework, improved leave allowances and enhanced pension benefits. These improvements are designed to address both personal and professional needs, acknowledging the daily contributions of our team members and supporting their ongoing and future well-being. Community As a provider of residential homes and services, our team is deeply connected to local communities. Our resident engagement programme of events is inclusive of neighbouring social housing blocks and neighbouring refugees displaced from war torn countries. We continue to partner with educational NGO’s, support local sports teams and our employees are very involved in charity events for those in need across Dublin. I-RES’ employees spent a combined 650+ hours engaging in community activities in 2024 and we are on track to maintain this level of engagement in 2025. Market Landscape Macroeconomic Landscape The first half of 2025 has been characterised by shifting geoeconomic relationships causing heightened uncertainty. As a small, open economy with significant trading and investment relationships with the US and EU, Ireland is not exempt from the challenges caused by these changing geoeconomic relationships and priorities. Policy uncertainty, in particular related to significant shifts in US trade policy, has directly shaped headline economic activity in Ireland so far in 2025, with uncertainty spiking in April driven by US trade policy announcements. Whilst any tariffs levied by the US on the EU would not directly impact I-RES, the Central Bank of Ireland expect domestic economic growth to slow slightly amid high uncertainty and global trade tensions[1]. However, the Irish unemployment rate is also expected to remain exceptionally low in 2025 at 4.3%[2] and we expect demand for residential rental accommodation to remain exceptionally strong due to the significant shortfall in supply versus demand. Furthermore, the Irish economy continues to perform better than most EU peers2. Domestic economic activity remained broadly steady in the first quarter of 2025. Economic activity (Modified Domestic Demand) expanded by 1% in Q1 2025 compared to the same quarter in 20241. According to the EU Commission Ireland is expected to outperform its EU peers in terms of GDP growth with expected growth of 3.4% for 20252. Irish Housing Market Remains Critically Undersupplied Despite Government Efforts The Irish housing market continues to experience several long-term tailwinds that are expected to sustain demand and price pressures over the medium-term. The supply of housing remains significantly below levels required to meet current and future demand. Last year Government approved new national housing targets up to the year 2030. 303,000 homes will aim to be delivered in the period from 2025 to 2030, equating to an annual average of 50,500 homes, building up to 60,000 in 2030. In 2024 housing targets were missed, with completions dropping by almost 7 per cent compared to 2023, largely due to a fall off in apartment completions of 24.1%[3]. Housing completions are forecast to increase to 32,500, 37,500 and 41,500 in 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively, still far below Government targets and even further from independent estimates of output required. Davy estimate that there is currently demand for 93,000 new units a year with pent-up demand for c.230,000 homes, or more than 10% of the housing stock. Capital financing requirements are also very large and could top €40bn by 2031[4]. To address this chronic supply and demand imbalance, the Government announced significant proposed changes to the Irish residential rent control system on 10 June 2025. These changes are intended to increase the supply of rental accommodation and attract crucial investment. The new changes are proposed to take effect from 1 March 2026. The Government has announced a raft of changes to the current regulatory framework. Legislation will be required to implement these changes and is expected in the coming months.
The Company welcomes these changes. Although it will take time for the changes to translate into new supply, in the long run this will be positive for the rental sector and its ability to increase housing output. When PRS yields increased globally, the severity of the previous rent regulations in Ireland caused yields to increase by far more than in other European markets. Prime net PRS yields in Dublin have increased by 115 bps from 3.6% to 4.75% over the last few years. The prime net yield in Dublin of 4.75% is now one of the highest in Europe. The recent proposed changes in rent regulations should reduce the spread in Dublin’s prime net PRS yield versus other European markets[5]. Any potential tightening in yields due to new rent regulations will have a positive impact on development viability, helping stimulate new supply and unlock challenged developments.
Strong demand dynamics are reflected in Greater Dublin Area (GDA) house prices, which have continued to experience upward pressure during 2024. The median house asking price in Dublin reached €495,000 in Q2 2025, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 5.1%[6]. Rental prices have also seen a significant rise, with the average rent in Dublin increasing by 5.2% year-on-year driven by new supply into the open market [7]. The outlook for both house prices and rents in the GDA indicates continued growth, with limited new housing stock projected to keep prices elevated through 2025, compounded by ongoing challenges in affordability and housing supply. Regulatory Change and Improving Market Conditions Bring Positive Outlook For Investment Ireland's residential investment market experienced a sluggish start to 2025, with just €10 million deployed across two transactions in Q1[8]. While market volumes remain subdued as they have been since 2023, there are indications of some momentum with a few larger deals filtering through in Q2 2025, in particular a transaction for 393 apartments was agreed which is valued at approximately €177 million at Spencer Place8. Following interest rate increases that began in 2022, investment in the PRS Sector has been muted compared to long term trends, evidenced by total investment only reaching €481 million in 2024, 56% below the ten-year annual average8. This fall off in investment can be largely attributed to investors pausing larger deals in response to rising interest rates but also largely due to uncertainty around rental regulations. The ECB has successfully navigated the inflationary period that began in 2022, prompting the Bank to implement eight interest rate reductions between June 2024 and June 2025. With improving market conditions and newly proposed rental regulation the outlook for living investment in Ireland is optimistic8.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The 2024 Annual Report for Irish Residential Properties REIT plc, approved on 3 April 2025, 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 outlined 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 3 April 2025. However, the risk trend for two headings has been revisited.
As shown in the table above there have been no changes to the residual risk assessments, but for two risks the trend has changed from year end. Regulatory and Legislative impacts On 10 June 2025, the Irish Government announced planned major reforms to the rental sector to boost investment in rental housing and provide market certainty while extending renter protections. These announcements have clarified policy direction, but detailed legislation is to follow. The regulatory position is now clearer, reducing the risk of change and creating positive impacts, such as initiatives to reset rents upon a tenant's voluntary departure. While the proposed changes have been positive, they may not stimulate new builds on their own without addressing other elements, particularly viability. Until there is full clarity, there is still implementation risk as the proposed changes are finalised. However, to reflect the positive developments that have happened the trend has been reclassified to stable. Cost of Capital, Interest Rate Increase and Loan to Value Ratio There is an overall improvement in debt and equity availability and cost. Despite geopolitical issues, the cost of capital continues to trend downward, albeit at a slower pace than in 2024. Uncertainty in US trade policy has made Europe, including Ireland, a preferred location for mobile capital, presenting both opportunities and challenges. With the successful completion of our refinancing program in early 2025, our weighted average maturity of debt is 4.6 years with no near-term refinancing, providing I-RES with a stable balance sheet to support its operations. While there is some incremental improvement in capital markets, the level of positive improvement reflected in the year end decreasing trend rating has slowed. In light of that, the outlook is now considered stable. Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities

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 2025 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 2025 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Irish Residential Properties REIT plc (“I-RES” or the “Company”) is a company located in Ireland. The address of the Company’s registered office is South Dock House, Hanover Quay, Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2. On 16 April 2014, I-RES obtained admission of its ordinary shares to the primary listing segment of the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange for trading on the regulated market for listed securities of Euronext Dublin. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2025 encompass the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’ and individually as ‘Group entities’).
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (“Interim Financial Reporting”) as adopted by the European Union (“EU”). This interim report (“Report”) should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group do not comprise statutory financial statements within the meaning of the Companies Act 2014. The statutory financial statements were prepared for the year ended 31 December 2024, approved by the board of directors (“the Board”) on 3 April 2025, accompanied by an unqualified audit report and were released to market on 11 April 2025. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group are prepared on a going concern basis of accounting and under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties, derivative financial instruments at fair value, assets held for sale at fair value less cost to dispose and share options at grant date fair value through profit or loss in the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been presented in euros, which is the Company’s functional currency. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group cover the six month period 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025. These statements are unaudited but reviewed by our auditor KPMG Ireland. The accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for those detailed below. 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.
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 impact of these changes is under review at this time.
‘2. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
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 99.5%. The Group also has a strong statement of financial position with sufficient liquidity and flexibility in place. The Group has undrawn facilities of €138.3 million as at 30 June 2025. The Group generated positive cashflows from operations for the six months ended 30 June 2025. 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.
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.
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.
For the period 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025 Disposals
‘4. Recent Investment Property Acquisitions, Developments and Disposals (continued) For the year 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 Disposals
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 2025. 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. The Irish Government has proposed 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. The proposed new regulations are set to take effect on 1st of March 2026. Legislation enacting the proposed changes is still to go through the legislative process and therefore valuations for this period are not impacted by the proposed change in regulations. Assets held for sale At 30 June 2025, I-RES has identified 16 units across 4 properties as assets held for sale amounting to €4.8 million (31 December 2024: 13 units across 5 properties amounting to €4.0 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.
‘5. Investment Properties (continued) 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 2025, 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 €178 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 €12 million to €49 million respectively in fair value, while a decrease between 1% - 4% in Stabilised NRI would have an impact of a reduction ranging from €12 million to €49 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 2025 (30 June 2024: €10.1 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 2025 and 30 June 2024 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. Quantitative information A summary of the Equivalent Yields and ranges along with the fair value of the total portfolio of the Group as at 30 June 2025 is presented below: As at 30 June 2025
(1) WA Stabilised NRI is the NRI of each property weighted by its fair value over the total fair value of the investment properties (“WA NRI”). The WA Stabilised NRI is an input to determine the fair value of the investment properties. (2) The Equivalent Yield disclosed above is provided by the external valuers and combines residential and commercial for properties where relevant. (3) Development land is fair valued based on the value of the undeveloped site per square foot or per unit of planning permission. (4) Including assets held for sale. As at 31 December 2024

‘5. Investment Properties (continued) The following table summarises the changes in the investment properties portfolio during the periods: Reconciliation of carrying amounts of investment properties
The vast majority of the residential leases are for one year or less. The carrying value of the Group investment properties of €1,225.4 million at 30 June 2025 (€1,228.2 million at 31 December 2024) was based on an external valuation carried out as at that date. The valuations were prepared in accordance with the RICS valuation – Global Standards, 2020 (Red Book) and IFRS 13.
(1) Includes prepaid costs such as OMC Service charges, insurance and costs associated with ongoing transactions.
(1) Includes property related accruals and professional fee accruals. (2) The carrying value of all accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value.
The Revolving Credit Facility of €500 million is secured by a floating charge over assets of the Company and IRES Residential Properties Limited and also a fixed charge over the shares held by the Company in IRES Residential Properties Limited and IRES Fund Management Limited on a pari passu basis In March 2025, I-RES terminated their 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 being 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 as outlined in note 15 as associated with this new facility. A commitment fee is charged on the undrawn loan amount of the RCF. The effective interest rate in the period for the RCF is 4.72%. 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 45.6%. Interest Cover has remained above the requirement of 200% at 247%.
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:
(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.
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 2024 and 31 December 2023. As at 30 June 2025, the maximum number of additional options, or Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) issuable under the LTIP is 48,729,120 (31 December 2024: 44,984,779). LTIP
(1) Of the Share Options outstanding above, nil were exercisable at 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: 4,596,499).
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 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 2025.
During the period, 685,402 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 TSR measure is relative to constituents of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Europe Developed Index for the 2022 awards. The 2023-2025 awards are relative to the residential subsector of this index for TSR. Results and inputs are summarised in the table below:
’
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 2025 was €nil (30 June 2024: €nil) and total share-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock unit awards for the six months ended 30 June 2025 was €210,000 (30 June 2024: €180,000).
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 period, 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:
The number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares is as follows:
(1) The Company purchased and immediately cancelled 5.1m of its own ordinary shares between 20 March 2025 and 28 April 2025.
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.
General and administrative expenses include costs such as director fees, executives’ and employees’ salaries, professional fees for audit, legal and advisory services, depositary fees, property valuation fees, insurance costs and other general and administrative expenses. Non-recurring G costs in prior year were primarily related to the Activism interaction and EGM (€1.5 million), along with costs also incurred in relation to the Strategic Review (€0.9 million).
Cross-currency swap On 12 February 2020, I-RES entered into a cross-currency swap to (i) hedge the US-based loan of $75 million into €68.9 million effective 11 March 2020 and (ii) convert the fixed interest rate on the USD-based loan to a fixed Euro interest rate, maturing on 10 March 2027 and 10 March 2030 (see note 9 for derivative fixed rates). 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 2025, the ineffective portion that has been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income was a loss of €17,000 (30 June 2024: €82,000). The fair value loss of the effective portion of €7,246,000 (30 June 2024 gain of €2,472,000) was included in the cash flow hedge reserve along with a loss on hedging of €39,000 (30 June 2024: gain €106,000). The fair value of the cash flow hedge was an asset of €827,000 and a liability of €5,887,000 at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: asset of €2,767,000 and a liability of €nil). Interest rate swap In March 2025, I-RES terminated its existing interest rate swap hedging arrangements in respect of its RCF (see further details in note 8) as the facility was terminated and replaced. The interest rate swaps which had been in place since December 2022 aggregated to €275 million until maturity of the RCF facility in April 2026, converting the cost on this portion of the facility into a fixed interest rate of 2.5% plus margin of 1.75%. I-RES entered into a new hedging arrangement in respect of the refinanced RCF on 13 March 2025, specifically interest rate swap agreements aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the facility in March 2030, converting the cost on this portion of the facility into a weighted fixed interest rate across all providers of 2.52% plus margin of 2.05%. See further details in note 8.
’15. Realised and Unrealised Gains and Losses on Derivative Financial Instruments (continued) Interest rate swap (continued) For the period ended 30 June 2025, the ineffective portion that has been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income was €nil (30 June 2024: gain of €10,000). The fair value loss of the effective portion of €4,276,000 (30 June 2024: gain of €4,534,000) has been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was an asset of €178,000 and a liability of €5,692,000 at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: asset of €3,000 and a liability of €1,557,000).
The Group classifies and discloses the fair value for each class of financial instrument based on the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market value data obtained from independent sources and the Group’s own assumptions about market value. The hierarchy levels are defined below: Level 1 - Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Inputs based on factors other than quoted prices included in Level 1 and may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and Level 3 - Inputs which are unobservable for the asset or liability and are typically based on the Group’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity. The Group’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following table presents the Group’s estimates of fair value on a recurring basis based on information available as at 30 June 2025, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. As at 30 June 2025, the fair value of the Group’s private placement debt is estimated to be €179.3 million (31 December 2024: €175.3 million) due to changes in interest rates since the private placement debt was issued and the impact of the passage of time on the fixed rate of the private placement debt. The fair value of the private placement debt is based on discounted future cash flows using rates that reflect current rates for similar financial instruments with similar duration, terms and conditions, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The private placement debt is recorded at amortised cost of €192.4 million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: €201.0 million). As at 30 June 2025, the fair value of the Group’s RCF is estimated to be €365.2 million (31 December 2024: €356.9 million). The fair value is based on the margin rate and EURIBOR forward curve at the reporting date. The RCF is recorded at amortised cost of €355.7 million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: €355.2 million).
’16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) ‘a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investment Properties (continued)
(1) See note 5 for detailed information on the valuation methodologies and fair value reconciliation. (2) The valuation of the interest rate swap instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. The fair value is determined using the market-standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted variable cash receipts of the derivatives. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rates. If the total mark-to-market value is positive, I-RES will include a current value adjustment to reflect the credit risk of the counterparty and if the total mark-to-market value is negative, I-RES will include a current value adjustment to reflect I-RES' own credit risk in the fair value measurement of the interest rate swap agreements. (3) The cross-currency swaps are valued by constructing the cash flows of each side and then discounting them back to the present using appropriate discount factors, including consideration of credit risk, in those currencies. The cash flows of the more liquid quoted currency pair will be discounted using standard discount factors, while the cash flows of the less liquid currency pair will be discounted using cross-currency basis-adjusted discount factors. Following discounting, the spot rate will be used to convert the present value amount of the non-valuation currency into the valuation currency.
’16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued)
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Group’s approach to managing these risks is summarised as follows: Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks. The Group’s financial assets currently comprise short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, deposits on acquisition and derivatives. Short-term bank deposits are held while awaiting suitable opportunities for investment. These are denominated in euros. Therefore, exposure to market risk in relation to these is limited to interest rate risk. The Group also has private placement notes that are denominated in USD. The Group’s risk management strategy is to mitigate foreign exchange variability to the extent that it is practicable and cost effective to do so. The Group utilises cross currency swaps to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with the Group’s existing, fixed foreign-currency denominated borrowings. The use of cross-currency interest rate swaps is consistent with the Group’s risk management strategy to effectively eliminate variability in the Group’s functional currency equivalent cash flows on a portion of its borrowings due to variability in the USD-EUR exchange rate. The hedges protect the Group against adverse variability in foreign exchange rates and the effective portion is recognised in equity in the hedging reserve, with the ineffective portion being recognised through profit or loss within financing costs. Derivatives designated as hedges against foreign exchange risks are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Hedges are measured for effectiveness at each accounting date and the accounting treatment of changes in fair value revised accordingly. Specifically, the Group is hedging (1) the foreign exchange risk on the USD interest payments and (2) the foreign exchange risk on the USD principal repayment of the USD Borrowings at maturity. This hedging relationship qualifies for foreign currency cash flow hedge accounting. On 12 February 2020, I-RES entered into cross-currency swaps to (i) exchange the USD loan of USD $75 million into €68.9 million effective 11 March 2020 and (ii) convert the fixed interest rate on the USD loan to a fixed Euro interest rate, maturing on 10 March 2027 and 10 March 2030. At the inception of the hedging relationship the Company has identified the following potential sources of hedge ineffectiveness:
Whilst sources of ineffectiveness do exist in the hedging relationship, the Company expects changes in value of both the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction to offset and systematically move in opposite directions given that the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged transactions are closely aligned at inception as described above. Therefore, the Company has qualitatively concluded that there is an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction in accordance with IFRS 9.
’16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) ‘b) Risk Management (continued) Cash flow hedges At 30 June 2025, the Group held the following instruments to hedge exposures to changes in foreign currency and interest rates:
The amounts at the reporting date relating to items designated as hedged items were as follows:
The amounts relating to items designated as hedging instruments and hedge ineffectiveness were as follows:
’16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) ‘b) Risk Management (continued) Master netting or similar agreements The Group enters into derivative transactions under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements. In general, under these agreements the amounts owed by each counterparty on a single day in respect of all transactions outstanding in the same currency are aggregated into a single net amount that is payable by one party to the other. In certain circumstances, all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions. The ISDA agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position. This is because the Group does not have any currently legally enforceable right to offset recognised amounts, because the right to offset is enforceable only on the occurrence of future events. The following table sets out the carrying amounts of recognised financial instruments that are subject to the above agreements.
Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks The Group does not have any exposures to IBORs on its financial instruments due to IBOR reform as fixed to fixed rates are used. IBOR reform does not impact the Group’s risk management and hedge accounting. The Group has EURIBOR on its RCF, which is not impacted by the interest rate benchmark reform. Interest Rate Risk With regard to the cost of borrowing I-RES has used and may continue to use, hedging where considered appropriate, to mitigate interest rate risk. As at 30 June 2025, I-RES’ RCF was drawn for €361.7 million. The interest on the RCF is paid at a rate of 2.05% per annum plus the one-month or three-month EURIBOR rate (at the option of I-RES) or at a floor of zero if EURIBOR is negative. As previously noted, on 13 March 2025 I-RES terminated the existing interest rate swaps and entered into new interest rate swaps in respect of the refinanced RCF, aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the new facility, converting the cost on this portion of the facility into a fixed interest rate of 2.52% plus margin of 2.05%. As of the period end, approximately 85% of the Group’s total drawn debt is now fixed against interest rate volatility. The Company’s private placement debt has a fixed rate of 1.92%. For the period ended 30 June 2025, a 100-basis point change in interest rates would have the following effect:
(1) Based on the fixed margin of 2.05% plus the 1 month EURIBOR rate during the period ended 30 June 2025 and a hedged interest rate of 2.52% for the quantum and period of interest rate swaps in place.
’16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) ‘b) Risk Management (continued)
(1) Based on the fixed margin of 1.75% plus the 1-month EURIBOR during year ended 31 December 2024 and a hedged interest rate of 2.50% for the period interest rate swaps in place.. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in accessing capital markets and refinancing its financial obligations as they come due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables, together with expected cash outflows on trade and other payables and capital commitments.
The following tables show the Group’s contractual undiscounted maturities for its financial liabilities:
(1) Based on carrying value at maturity dates. (2) Based on current in-place interest rate for the remaining term to maturity. (3) Based on forward foreign exchange rates as at 30 June 2025. (4) Based on 1 month EURIBOR forward curve as at 30 June 2025.
’16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) ‘b) Risk Management (continued)
(1) Based on carrying value at maturity dates. (2) Based on current in-place interest rate for the remaining term to maturity. (3) Based on forward foreign exchange rates as at 31 December 2024. (4) Based on 1 month EURIBOR forward curve as at 31 December 2024.
The carrying value of bank indebtedness and trade and other payables (other liabilities) approximates their fair value. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that: (i) counterparties to contractual financial obligations will default; or (ii) the possibility that the Group’s tenants may experience financial difficulty and be unable to meet their rental obligations. The Group monitors its risk exposure regarding obligations with counterparties through the regular assessment of counterparties’ credit positions. The Group mitigates the risk of credit loss with respect to tenants by evaluating the creditworthiness of new tenants and obtaining security deposits wherever permitted by legislation. The Group monitors its collection experience on a monthly basis and ensures that a stringent policy is adopted to provide for all past due amounts. All residential accounts receivable balances exceeding 30 days are written off to bad debt expense and recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The Group’s allowance for expected credit loss amounted to a charge of €103,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and is recorded as part of property operating costs in the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (30 June 2024: charge of €135,000). Cash and cash equivalents are held with major Irish and European institutions which have credit ratings between A-2 and A+. The Company deposits cash with a number of individual institutions to avoid concentration of risk with any one counterparty. The Group has also engaged the services of a depository to ensure the security of cash assets. Risk of counterparty default arising on derivative financial instruments is controlled by dealing with high-quality institutions and by a policy limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one bank or institution. derivative financial instrument counter parties have credit ratings in the range of A- to A+.
’16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) ‘b) Risk Management (continued) Capital management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, I-RES may issue new shares or consider the sale of assets to reduce debt. I-RES, through the Irish REIT Regime, is restricted in its use of capital to making investments in real estate property in Ireland. I-RES intends to continue to make distributions if its results of operations and cash flows permit in the future. The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. At 30 June 2025, capital consists of equity and debt and the Group’s Net LTV was 45.0% (31 December 2024: 44.4%). I-RES seeks to use borrowings to enhance shareholder returns over the long term. The level of borrowings is monitored carefully by the Board. The Board monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends paid to ordinary shareholders. Subject to distributable reserves, it is the policy of I-RES to distribute at least 85% of the Property Income of its Property Rental Business for each accounting period as required under the REIT legislation.
Under the Irish REIT Regime, subject to having sufficient distributable reserves, I-RES is required to distribute to shareholders at least 85% of the Property Income of its Property Rental Business for each accounting period. On 20 February 2025, the Directors resolved to pay an additional dividend of €11.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The dividend of 2.20 cents per share was paid on 27 March 2025 to shareholders on record as at 28 February 2025. On 8 August 2024, the Directors resolved to pay an additional dividend of €10.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The dividend of 1.88 cents per share was paid on 13 September 2024 to shareholders on record as at 23 August 2024. On 23 February 2024, the Directors resolved to pay an additional dividend of €10.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2023. The dividend of 2.00 cents per share was paid on 28 March 2024 to shareholders on record as at 8 March 2024. On 2 August 2023, the Directors resolved to pay an additional dividend of €12.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023. The dividend of 2.45 cents per share was paid on 1 September 2023 to shareholders on record as at 11 August 2023. Distributable reserves in accordance with the Irish REIT Regime were calculated as follows:

Transactions with Key Management Personnel For the purposes of the disclosure requirements of IAS 24, the term ‘key management personnel’ is defined as those persons having authority for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company. I-RES has determined that the key management personnel comprise the Board of Directors. Owners’ management companies not consolidated As a result of the acquisition by the Group of apartments or commercial space in certain residential rental properties, the Group holds voting rights in the relevant Owners’ Management Companies (“OMCs”) associated with those developments. Where the Group holds the majority of those voting rights, this entitles it, inter alia, to control the composition of such OMCs’ boards of directors. However, as each of those OMCs is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee for the purpose of owning the common areas in residential or mixed-use developments, they are not intended to be traded for gains. I-RES does not consider these OMCs to be material for consolidation as the total assets of the OMCs is less than 1% of the Group’s total assets. I-RES has considered the latest available financial statements of these OMCs in making this assessment. The total service fees billed in the period by the OMCs were €4.3 million, of which €0.1 million was payable and €3.8 million was prepaid as at 30 June 2025. As at 31 December 2024, €0.1 million was payable and €1.0 million was prepaid by I-RES to the OMCs.
At Beacon South Quarter, in addition to the capital expenditure work that has already been completed, water ingress works were identified in 2016 and I-RES is working with the Beacon South Quarter OMC to resolve these matters. A settlement has been reached in the ongoing insurance claim with respect to the water ingress and related damage between the OMC and the insurer. The amount of potential costs relating to these structural remediation works has been reflected in the valuation of the asset.
As at 30 June 2025, there are no material commitments.
Earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the reporting period attributable to ordinary shareholders of I-RES by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period.
(1) Diluted weighted average number of shares includes the additional shares resulting from dilution of the long-term incentive plan options as of the reporting date. (2) At 30 June 2025 nil options (30 June 2024: 4,596,499) were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The below table outlines how the basic weighted average number of ordinary shares is calculated.
EPRA Earnings represents the earnings from the core operational activities of the Group. It is intended to provide an indicator of the underlying performance of the property portfolio and therefore excludes all components not relevant to the underlying and recurring performance of the portfolio, including any revaluation results and results from the sale of properties. EPRA EPS is calculated by dividing EPRA Earnings for the reporting period attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period. EPRA Earnings per Share
In October 2019, EPRA introduced three EPRA NAV metrics to replace the then existing EPRA NAV calculation that was previously being presented. The three EPRA NAV metrics are EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (“EPRA NRV’), EPRA Net Tangible Asset (“EPRA NTA”) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (“EPRA NDV”). Each EPRA NAV metric serves a different purpose. The EPRA NRV measure is calculated to highlight the value of net assets on a long term basis. EPRA NTA assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability. No deferred tax liability is calculated for I-RES as it is a REIT and taxes are paid at the shareholder level on the distributions. Any gains arising from the sale of a property are expected either to be reinvested for growth or 85% of the net proceeds are distributed to the shareholders to maintain the REIT status. Lastly, EPRA NDV provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liabilities. EPRA NAV per Share
(1) Following changes to the Irish REIT legislation introduced in October 2019, if a REIT disposes of an asset of its property rental business and does not (i) distribute the gross disposal proceeds to shareholders by way of dividend; (ii) reinvest them into other assets of its property rental business (whether by acquisition or capital expenditure) within a three-year window (being one year before the sale and two years after it); or (iii) use them to repay debt specifically used to acquire, enhance or develop the property sold, then the REIT will be liable to tax at a rate of 25% on 85% of the gross disposal proceeds, subject to having sufficient distributable reserves. For the purposes of EPRA NTA, the Group has assumed any such sales proceeds are reinvested within the required three year window. (2) Deferred tax is assumed as per the IFRS statement of financial position. To the extent that an orderly sale of the Group’s assets was undertaken over a period of several years, during which time (i) the Group remained a REIT; (ii) no new assets were acquired or sales proceeds reinvested; (iii) any developments completed were held for three years from completion; and (iv) those assets were sold at 30 June 2025 valuations, the sales proceeds would need to be distributed to shareholders by way of dividend within the required time frame or else a tax liability amounting to up to 25% of distributable reserves plus current unrealised revaluation gains could arise for the Group. (3) This is the purchaser costs amount as provided in the valuation certificate. Purchasers’ costs consist of items such as stamp duty on legal transfer and other purchase fees that may be incurred and which are deducted from the gross value in arriving at the fair value of investment for IFRS purposes. Purchasers’ costs are in general estimated at 9.96% for commercial, 4.46% for residential apartment units and 17.46% for houses and duplexes.
