Outlook

  • The new financial year has started well, driven by continued strong occupier demand in both markets and the Group continues to trade in line with market expectations
  • In Germany, stable occupancy rates and the easing of energy price pressures continue to offset wider macro-economic concerns
  • Sirius continues to assess further growth options in both Germany and the U.K. on an opportunistic basis, including recycling of mature assets and reinvesting in value-add opportunities
  • Organic growth opportunities remain strong, particularly with further investment into the portfolio as well as taking advantage of the high inflationary environment
