Our key financial indicators exceeded expectations, with rental income up 7% and recurring net income up 13%, alongside a reduction in LTV to 41% (vs. 43% at year-end 2024). The portfolio is valued at €4bn, with an occupancy rate above 99%. We are also improving our extra-financial performance: Our target to reduce Scope 3 energy CO2 emissions from 25,000 tonnes in 2022 to 12,500 tonnes has been achieved by more than 50%, with a full-year effect representing a net reduction of 6,400 tonnes of emissions. Approximately 6,000 tonnes therefore remain to be eliminated, which we will achieve by continuing to replace gas heating systems with air-to-water heat pumps. At the end of this plan, CO2 emissions per square meter will be below 3 kg/sq.m, compared with 10 kg/ sq.m for a traditional gas-heated warehouse. All new developments have a AUTONOM® label, our STAR warehouse, which generates its own energy for self-consumption. 2026: A year of +4% growth in rental income With a €165m investment program currently under development, our revenues are therefore expected to reach €220 million, representing a 4% increase. We will also refinance our €500m bond issued in 2021, maturing on November 17, 2026. In order to retain maximum flexibility in selecting the optimal issuance window, we have put in place a €500m bridge facility available until November 2027. We also have €400m of undrawn credit facilities. Together, these allow us to repay the bond at maturity on November 17. In 2025, issuances by companies with comparable credit ratings (BBB– by S&P) were completed at interest rate ranges of around 3.5% to 4%. Under these conditions, the cost of our debt, currently 2.10%, would be approximately 3%.” 2025 Financial performance 2025 key figures: Consolidated income statementDec. 31, 2025Dec. 31, 2024Change Rental income€212.0m€198.3m+7%Net income – Group share€245.2m€245.7m StableRecurring net income – Group share€154.8m€136.7m+13%Net income / share – Group share€9.61€10.0-4%Recurring net income / share – Group share€6.02€5.5+8% Valuation indicatorsDec. 31, 2025Dec. 31, 2024ChangePortfolio valuation excluding duties€4.07Bn€3.91Bn+4%EPRA NAV NTA per share€91.53€85.5 +7%EPRA NAV NRV per share€103.52€96.7 +7%EPRA NAV NDV per share€92.72€87.5+6% Debt indicatorsDec. 31, 2025Dec. 31, 2024ChangeEPRA LTV41.1%43.1%-200 bpsEPRA LTV (incl. duties)38.6%40.7% -210 bpsNet debt / EBITDA8.5x9.2x-0.7xCost of debt2.10%2.25% -15 bps The 2025 annual consolidated financial statements were approved by ARGAN’s Executive Board on January 19, 2026 and by the Supervisory Board on January 21, 2026. The audit procedures performed by the statutory auditors on these consolidated financial statements have been completed. The audit report will be issued after completion of the specific verification procedures. Strong increase in financial results ARGAN continued to demonstrate the strength of its value creation model, with solid growth in rental income (+7%) and an acceleration in Group share recurring net income (+13%). These results once again highlight the Group’s ability to convert its strong performance into robust cash flows, supported in particular by disciplined debt management. Rental income: up +7% in 2025 Growth in rental income was solid in 2025 (+7%) with €212 million over 12 months. Sustained growth over the period primarily came from the full-year impact of 8 deliveries in 2024 as well rent indexation (+3.45 %) at January 1, 2025. Occupancy over 99% The portfolio occupancy rate stood at over 99%, thereby extending ARGAN’s track record of warehouse occupancy above 99% over the past ten years (even as the national vacancy rate stood at 6.3% at year-end 2025, according to CBRE). The EPRA vacancy rate is 1%. Acceleration in the Group share recurring net income: +13 % Recurring net income attributable to the Group accelerated sharply, rising by 13% to €154.8 million at year-end 2025, with a record margin of 73% of rental income. ARGAN therefore ended 2025 above its target of €152 million4. As a reminder, recurring net income is the best measure of the Group’s cash generation and reflects ARGAN’s ability to continue financing its development model. The effect related to the change in the fair value of the property portfolio was once again, with an impact of +€91 million, in a context of still-stable capitalization rates. Group share net income, which includes this effect, therefore remained significantly positive at €245.2 million over the twelve-month period. Ongoing growth in portfolio valuation and NAV EPRA NTA A Premium portfolio appraised at a rate of 5.25% (excl. duties) at €4.07Bn, up +4% over 12 months The delivered portfolio (excluding properties under development) stood at 3,770,000 sq.m at December 31, 2025. Its appraisal stood at €4.07 billion excluding duties (€4.33 billion including duties), up +4% from December 31, 2024. The valuation of the delivered portfolio shows a capitalization rate of 5.25% (excluding duties), broadly stable compared with 5.20% as of December 31, 2024. The EPRA net initial yield (including duties) stood at 4.95%, very close to the national prime yield of 4.90% (source: CBRE as of December 31, 2025), thereby reflecting the PREMIUM quality of our assets. The average residual lease term was 5.0 years vs. 5.3 years at December 31, 2024.The weighted average age of the portfolio was 12.4 years. NAV EPRA of continuation (NTA) at €91.5 per share The NRV (reconstitution NAV) was €103.5 € per share at December 31, 2025 (+7% over one year). The NTA (continuation NAV) was €91.5 per share at December 31, 2025 (+7% over one year). The NDV (liquidation NAV) was €92.7 per share at December 31, 2025 (+6% over one year). More specifically, the change in NTA (continuation NAV) over the year represented an increase of €6.0 per share compared with December 31, 2024, driven by net income per share (+€6.0), a positive change in the value of the property portfolio (+€3.6), cash dividend payments (–€2.5) and scrip dividend payments (–€1.1) Debt under control ARGAN continued to reduce its debt. At December 31, 2025, it presented following ratios: LTV EPRA ratio (excluding duties) of 41.1% vs. 43.1%; Net debt on EBITDA ratio of 8.5X vs. 9.2X. ARGAN gross financial debt stood at €1.7 billion at the end of 2025. Net debt was also at €1.7 billion, after netting cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025. The average cost of debt as of December 31, 2025 remains low at 2.10%, down from 2.25% as of December 31, 2024, with an average maturity of 4.0 years. Debt structure limits risks, as it is mostly incurred with fixed or hedged variable rates: 60 % fixed-rate debt;39 % of hedged variable debt; Only 1% of non-hedged variable debt. 2026 : a year in line with 2025, with rental income expected up +4% 2026 targets Indicators2026targets2025 Actual dataChangevs. 2025Rental income €220m€212m+4%Group share recurring net income / share ~€6€6.0StableEPRA LTV ratio~40%541.1% ~-1 ptNet debt / EBITDA8.5x8.5x StableDividend per share €3.656€3.457 +6% Following a year of strong growth in 2025, ARGAN is targeting 4% growth in rental income, supported by a significant project pipeline with approximately €165 million to be delivered. 2026 will be a year marked by the refinancing of the 2021 bond issue (€500m with a 1.01% coupon): the timing of the future bond issuance and its coupon will determine the trend in recurring net income per share, with stability targeted compared with 2025 (€6 per share). A sizeable investment plan Close to €165 million secured investments for 2026 After having delivered €55 million for 70,000 sq.m of newly built area in 20258 at a yield of 7.2% for €4 million of yearly additional rents, ARGAN intends to keep on strengthening its portfolio with close to €165 million of investments to be delivered in 2026, at a yield above 6%, over 8 projects, including three asset acquisitions. With the deliveries scheduled for 2026, major tenants will join ARGAN’s client portfolio, including Danone, Ferrero and Puma. Thereafter, ARGAN will continue to strengthen its portfolio by investing around €150m per year to support its long-term growth (approximately +4% per year), while continuing to roll out its AutOnom® warehouse concept, which produces its own energy on site. Refinancing of our €500 million bond debt Maturity of a €500 million bond November 2026 marks the maturity of a €500 million bond issued in November 2021, with a 1.01% coupon. ARGAN will refinance this maturity through a new bond issuance, with a targeted amount in the range of €500m to €700m between April and October 2026, depending on market conditions. This issuance could be split into two tranches with different maturities. Under current market conditions, the coupon of the future bond issuance could be in the range of 3% to 4%, levels at which ARGAN would still be well positioned to generate a strong recurring net income margin and thus maintain robust cash flow. Depending on the refinancing conditions (timing and rates), ARGAN expects Group share recurring net income per share to be close to €6, broadly stable compared with 2025. A secure financial framework to refinance under optimal conditionsIn preparation for the refinancing of its bond issuance, the Company has put in place the necessary resources to fully control the timing and execution conditions. To this end, it has arranged a €500 million bridge-to-loan facility available until November 2027, while significantly strengthening its available liquidity through an increase in its revolving credit facilities (RCF), expanded from €300 million to €400 million over the course of one year. These measures provide ARGAN with enhanced financial flexibility, enabling it to select the most favourable market window to carry out this transaction under optimal conditions. ARGAN will provide an outlook beyond 2026 once this refinancing maturity has passed. Continued steady growth in the dividend As part of its shareholder return policy, ARGAN continues to increase the dividend per share. Accordingly, the Company will propose at the 2026 Annual General Meeting to be held on March 26 a dividend of €3.45 per share, up 5% year-on-year, to be paid exclusively in cash. ARGAN then intends to propose a dividend of €3.65 per share for fiscal year 2026 at the 2027 Annual General Meeting, representing an increase of 6% compared with the previous year. ESG roadmap: new progress made AutOnom, our « star » warehouse that produces its own energy ARGAN continues to enhance the sustainability of its portfolio by systematically deploying across all new projects its AutOnom® warehouse concept, which produces its own energy on site and delivers a significant reduction in operational carbon emissions compared with a standard warehouse.The Company is also installing electric heat pumps at existing sites, with nearly €3 million invested in 2025 (generating rental yield) and 2,100 tonnes of CO2 avoided per year across six projects. All these efforts have already made it possible to achieve more than 50% of the target to divide by two Scope 3 CO2 emissions related to energy consumption across the portfolio’s warehouses. These emissions are expected to decrease from approximately 25,000 tonnes in 2022 to around 12,500 tonnes by 2030. French State label “companies committed to nature” In 2025, the French State recognized the quality of ARGAN’s biodiversity approach through the award of the ‘Companies Committed to Nature’ label. Structured around eight ambitious objectives, ARGAN’s biodiversity strategy aims in particular to limit negative externalities related to the Group’s developments, notably through reforestation initiatives and the implementation of measures to protect flora and fauna. Improvement in ratings from non-financial rating agencies ARGAN’s non-financial rating continued to improve in 2025, marked by a successful first assessment by GRESB, which awarded a strong score of 83/100. In addition, other rating agencies maintained their very positive assessments while further improving their scores, namely a ‘low risk’ rating from Sustainalytics (16.1), a Gold Medal from EthiFinance (83/100) and a Silver Medal from EcoVadis (73/100). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2026 financial calendar (Publication of the press release after closing of the stock exchange) March 26: General Assembly 2026 April 1: Net sales of 1st quarter 2026July 1: Net sales of 2nd quarter 2026July 23: Half-year results 2026 October 1: Net sales of 3rd quarter 2026 2027 financial calendar (Publication of the press release after closing of the stock exchange) January 4: Net sales of 4th quarter 2026January 21: Annual results 2026March 25: General Assembly 2027 About ARGAN ARGAN is the only French real estate company specializing in the DEVELOPMENT & RENTAL OF PREMIUM WAREHOUSES listed on EURONEXT and is the leading player of its market in France.
