2020: Validation of the Yew Grove strategy
Yew Grove was well positioned:
     • A core portfolio of institutional quality office and industrial buildings (97%)
     • A tenancy mix of Government, multi nationals and large corporates (96%)
     • Moderate leverage (27%)

Performance has been market leading
      • Rent collection has been market leading.
      • Yew Grove’s portfolio grew in value. Like for like office valuation increased in value by 1.9% and the industrial
        properties by 5.5%. The offices at Millennium Park (bought in late February) increased in value by 5.1%, not
        quite enough to cover the costs of acquisition, but enough that the office portfolio increased in value even
        after costs.

With a positive outlook:
     • Vacancy rates in much of our geographic target market are at or near multi-year lows. Demand remains
         resilient with speculative construction only in Cork and Galway.
     • Current lease negotiations and our design and build activity suggest continuing demand for quality buildings
         and upward movement in rent levels
     • As the end to lockdowns nears, we expect a recovery in the overstretched regional and suburban office
         markets which should improve rent levels and valuations.
     • The Company is now utilising some of its new leverage following the increased target of 40%
     • The depth and quality of a potentially accretive pipeline looks highly attractive.

                                                                                                                            5

Growing value in regional offices
Our regional office valuations are currently driven by asset management

▪   The regional office portfolio, like the overall portfolio, is under
    rented.
▪   Since IPO the contracted rents per sq. ft and the ERVs have risen and
    we expect that to continue.
▪   Asset management consistently drives WAULTs faster than lease
    rolldown and benchmarks rental increases which informs the
    valuer’s view of local ERVs.
▪   Since 2019 we have completed asset management (new or
    regeared leases, rent reviews and lease breaks) in most of our
    regional office locations.
▪   Our Dublin (city fringe and suburban offices) also demonstrate
    significant under rental, and embedded value.

                                                                            19
Embedded value in industrial properties
Valuation in our industrial properties has, to date, been driven by a strengthening market

•   The portfolio is predominantly exposed to tenants in the life
    science sector and there is currently no vacancy.
•   Over the past 2 ½ years ERVs have risen with the changes in
    contracted rent psf largely coming from new acquisitions at a
    higher rent than the portfolio average.
•   The discount rates used by the valuers have compressed, but at
    over 7%, are still significantly above the levels seen in public
    transactions in 2020 and 2021.
•   Because there has, as yet, been little asset management we
    have seen neither the capture of ERV (via rent reviews or new
    leases), nor an extension of WAULT. Both could potentially
    substantially increase value in this part of the portfolio.

Summary & Outlook

•   The Company’s focus on credit quality and institutional buildings in carefully selected locations
    has been reflected in a robust rent collection and valuation in 2020 against the backdrop of the
    Covid-19 pandemic….

•   …and underpinned progressive quarterly dividends supported by stable and growing capital
    values

•   Our immediate outlook involves a move to the main board of the Irish Stock Exchange, and the
    pipeline of potential acquisitions

▪ Irish FDI tenants, particularly in sectors targeted by the Company, have expanded their operations
  through the pandemic, supporting the Company’s current investments and future opportunities

▪ There is, currently, limited competition for the pipeline, which can be both reversionary and bought
  below re-build cost

▪ Our ability to execute the pipeline requires further capital

▪ Additional capital should enable the Company to benefit from operating leverage, improve shareholder
  liquidity and returns

                                                                                                         25
