Financial Highlights

-- Generated revenues of EUR944.6 million, a 10% increase on 2024 (EUR859.9 million) from 2,365 units7 (2024: 2,241 units7

). -- Average selling price (net of VAT) of EUR392,000 (2024: EUR383,000), with the slight increase primarily driven by a

change in product mix. -- Build cost inflation (BCI) of c.1%, compared to an industry average c.2% (source: CSO), evidencing clearly the

impact of our procurement strategies, efficiencies from large multi-site tender awards and productivity across

scaled sites. -- Operating margin of 17.8% with operating costs being 4.25% of revenue (2024: 4.30%), highlighting the impact of our

lean construction platform. -- Profit after tax of EUR132.7 million (2024: EUR114.6 million), after finance costs of EUR16.7 million (2024: EUR15.1

million). -- Invested EUR102.6 million (2024: EUR99.5 million) on scaled development sites and contracted an additional EUR77.1

million in land acquisitions on deferred payment terms. -- Generated EUR70.6 million in operating cashflow (2024: EUR134.7 million), as the Company significantly increased its

construction work-in-progress (WIP) investment to EUR800.8 million (2024: EUR484.3 million) and construction activities

(average active sites 2025: 25, 2024: 21). -- Net debt of EUR171.3 million (30 June 2025: EUR307.4 million, 31 December 2024: EUR154.4 million), following significant

cash generation in H2 2025 of EUR189.3 million, with available liquidity of EUR327.1 million at year end (2024: EUR229.6

million). -- DPS increased by 22% to 10.0 cent (2024: 8.2 cent), including a proposed final dividend of 5.9 cent (subject to

shareholder approval at our AGM on 30 April 2026).

Operational Highlights

-- Significant growth in our closed and forward order book of 3,452 new homes with a net sales value of over EUR1.32

billion (EUR989 million and 2,593 new homes as at 26 February 2025) giving clear visibility on our future pipeline

and underpinning guidance. -- Exceptional levels of demand, most notably from first time buyers (FTBs), evidenced by a private weekly sales rate

per active selling site of 4.2 new homes across existing sites and 11 new scheme launches in the year. -- Active on sites that will deliver over 4,000 apartments in the medium term with our third Croí Cónaithe approved

apartment scheme launch scheduled for H1 2026 which will deliver over 330 apartments for private buyers. Cairn is

now active on six forward fund projects which will deliver c.2,000 new apartments to the Land Development Agency

(LDA) and our Approved Housing Body (AHB) partners. -- Obtained 11 new grants of planning comprising over 3,650 new homes (2024: seven new grants of planning permission

comprising nearly 1,300 new homes). -- Developed a pipeline of land which will deliver up to 6,000 new homes, driving our medium-term growth in a capital

efficient manner. -- Continued to support the future of the construction industry with over 270 apprentices now registered on the Cairn

Apprenticeship Programme, a talent pipeline identified in the Government's 'Delivering Homes, Building Communities'

strategy as critical to achieving its housing targets. -- Construction at our flagship Seven Mills development continued at pace with over 3,000 new homes completed and

under construction since starting on site in January 2023. In 2025, we delivered nearly 700 homes in this new

Dublin suburb. -- Strengthened our operational capacity in expanding our team to over 600 employees. Supported by increased supply

chain capacity and long-standing subcontractor partnerships, the Company's scaled operating platform is now

well-invested to support significant operational growth.

Outlook and Guidance

With exceptionally strong demand reflected in a record order book and a supportive policy and macro backdrop, Cairn continues to benefit from a fundamentally robust housing market characterised by structural undersupply. These conditions, combined with our disciplined capital allocation strategy and substantial investment in operational scaling, have created a platform for consistent volume growth and strong financial performance. As a result, the Group is now firmly positioned to achieve output of c.6,000 new homes between this year and next, including c.3,200 homes in 2027, resulting in a 35% increase in our output over this two-year period.

Cairn is upgrading guidance for FY26 as follows:

-- Revenue of c.EUR1.05 - EUR1.08 billion (previously c.EUR1.02 - EUR1.05 billion); -- Operating profit of c.EUR180 - EUR185 million (previously c.EUR175 - EUR180 million); and -- ROE4 of c.16.5%.

Commenting on the results, Michael Stanley, CEO, said:

"Cairn is now in its second decade in business. We are proud of the significant contribution we have made to housing in Ireland since we closed our first sale in December 2015, with over 12,000 new homes sold and 35,000 residents living in a Cairn built community. Our commitment to growth is stronger than ever and we will accelerate our output to close to 18,000 new homes delivered by the end of 2027. Today we are upgrading our guidance for 2026 and projecting sales of c.3,200 new homes in 2027, a 35% increase over this two-year period.

The affordability of new homes remains the most significant challenge in Ireland today, and indeed across Europe. Cairn will continue to be relentless in managing our cost base to ensure our homes are competitively priced, particularly for our first time buyers and the social and affordable apartments we are delivering at pace and scale for our state funded partners. Over the last five years the average selling price of a Cairn home has increased by 5%, compared with the broader market which has seen house price inflation of 29% for new homes in the same period. We will continue to use embedded innovation, new building methods and our scale to manage our delivery costs and increase our addressable market."

Chief Executive Statement

Financial Highlights

Trading Performance

The Group delivered a strong performance in 2025 with a 10% increase in revenue to EUR944.6 million (2024: EUR859.9 million) including 2,365 units7 (2024: 2,241 units7). Of this, EUR928.0 million came from residential closed sales (2024: EUR838.5 million) and EUR16.7 million from development land, other commercial asset sales and rental income (2024: EUR21.4 million). Average selling price (ASP) increased to EUR392,000 in 2025, compared to EUR383,000 in 2024 primarily driven by product mix.

Gross profit for the year increased to EUR208.8 million (2024: EUR187.0 million), resulting in a gross margin1 of 22.1% (2024: 21.7%), underlining the impact of our optimised procurement strategies, efficiencies from scaled multi-site tender awards and productivity improvements across our scaled construction activities.

Operating profit was EUR168.6 million for the year, a 12% increase from EUR150.0 million in 2024, resulting in an operating margin of 17.8% (2024: 17.4%). Operating expenses were EUR40.2 million (2024: EUR37.0 million), equating to just 4.25% of revenue (2024: 4.30%) reflecting our ongoing focus on cost discipline coupled with investment in our growth.

Finance costs for the year were EUR16.7 million (2024: EUR15.1 million), reflecting the Group's higher working capital investment during 2025. Profit after tax was EUR132.7 million (2024: EUR114.6 million), equating to basic earnings per share of 21.3 cent (2024: 17.9 cent).

Balance Sheet Strength

Total assets increased to EUR1,306.2 million at year end (31 December 2024: EUR1,072.3 million), including inventories of EUR1,115.1 million (31 December 2024: EUR862.1 million) comprising land held for investment of EUR701.3 million (31 December 2024: EUR615.7 million) and WIP of EUR413.8 million (31 December 2024: EUR246.4 million).

The increase in land held for development was after the release of land costs from the 2,365 units7 and site disposals in 2025, totalling EUR94.1 million, offset by strategic land acquisitions and other land costs during the year totalling EUR179.7 million, including EUR77.1 million in acquisitions on deferred payment terms payable in 2026 and 2027 (with a corresponding deferred consideration trade payable). Investment of EUR800.8 million in WIP during the year, net of WIP release of EUR633.2 million due to the release of costs associated with the sale of 2,365 units7, resulted in the EUR167.4 million increase in WIP.

Net assets increased from EUR758.2 million to EUR836.7 million, an increase of EUR78.5 million which reflects the continued investment the Group is making into our future growth. With profit after tax growth of 16% to EUR132.7 million, the Group delivered a return on equity (ROE)4 of 16.6%, an increase of 150bps from 15.1% in 2024.

At year end, the Group had access to EUR500.0 million of committed debt facilities, with an average maturity of nearly four years:

-- The Group had a total committed debt facility of EUR385.0 million at the start of 2025. -- This increased to EUR460.0 million on 26 February 2025, of which EUR402.5 million was a syndicate facility comprising a

term loan of EUR102.5 million and revolving credit facility of EUR300.0 million with Allied Irish Banks, Bank of

Ireland, and Home Building Finance Ireland (HBFI), maturing in June 2029 with a one-year extension option at the

discretion of Group. -- The EUR402.5 million syndicate facility sustainability linked loans were redesignated to Green Loans during the year,

reflecting the Group's alignment with globally recognised best practices in sustainable finance. -- The drawn revolving credit facility as at 31 December 2025 was EUR28.0 million (31 December 2024: EUR35.0 million). -- Additionally, at 1 January 2025, the Group had EUR57.5 million of committed debt facilities with PGIM Private

Capital. The Group completed a refinance of part of the private placement debt in July 2025, increasing the

facility by EUR40.0 million to EUR97.5 million, repayable on 31 July 2026 (EUR42.5 million) and 31 July 2030 (EUR55.0

million). EUR15.0 million of the proceeds of the new EUR55.0 million private placement facility were used to discharge

the EUR15.0 million July 2025 maturity.

As at 31 December 2025, the Company had available liquidity, including cash and undrawn facilities, of EUR327.1 million, compared to EUR229.6 million as at 31 December 2024. Net debt5 of EUR171.3 million was slightly above net debt of EUR154.4 million as at 31 December 2024.

Shareholder Returns

Total shareholder returns8 in 2025 amounted to EUR54.7 million, including EUR52.9 million in dividends. Between 2 January 2025 and 9 January 2025, the Company repurchased 803,939 shares at a cost of EUR1.8 million which completed the FY24 EUR45.0 million share buyback programme. All repurchased shares were subsequently cancelled. This compares to EUR70.6 million in share buybacks and EUR44.7 million in dividends distributed to shareholders in 2024.

The Board has recommended a final dividend of 5.9 cent per ordinary share, which, combined with the interim dividend of 4.1 cent per ordinary share, results in a total dividend of 10.0 cent per ordinary share for the year (2024: 8.2 cent per share). The proposed final dividend of 5.9 cent per ordinary share will be paid on 29 May 2026 to ordinary shareholders on the Company's register at 5:00 p.m. on 24 April 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 30 April 2026.

Supportive Policy Environment Focused on Housing Delivery and Enabling Infrastructure

As a result of legislative actions, investment measures and strategic initiatives announced in 2025, the current policy environment to support increased housing delivery provides a clear roadmap to reaching 300,000 new homes by 2030, including:

-- 'Delivering Homes, Building Communities': new housing strategy published in November 2025, reaffirmed the

Government's commitment to delivering 300,000 new homes by 2030, including 12,000 social homes, 15,000 affordable

homes and 23,000 private starter homes per year;

-- National Development Plan (NDP) Review: EUR36.0 billion in committed capital funding allocated through the NDP to the

Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (EUR28.3 billion for housing and EUR7.7 billion for water

infrastructure) between 2026 and 2030, including an increase in the annual capital budget from EUR4.6 billion in 2025

to EUR7.3 billion in 2026;

-- Revised National Planning Framework (NPF): Local Authorities instructed to increase zoning and provide additional

50% headroom to zone enough land to accommodate up to 83,400 new homes annually; and -- Planning Legislation Reform: Government has enacted critical sections of the Planning & Development Act, such as

allowing developers to extend the duration of extant planning consents, extending the duration of planning

permissions delayed by judicial review proceedings, establishing and resourcing An Coimisiún Pleanála (formerly

called An Bord Pleanála), and strengthening the Office of the Planning Regulator to allow it to review planning

authority performance.

First Time Buyers Driving Significant Demand

Demand across all buyer profiles, most notably amongst FTBs, remained exceptionally strong in 2025, with the Company delivering 2,365 units7. This demand is also evidenced in our weekly private sales rate per active selling site of 4.2, across nearly 1,000 private sales in the year and the growth of our closed and forward order book which has increased to 3,452 new homes with a net sales value of over EUR1.32 billion as at 3 March 2026 (2,593 new homes and EUR989 million as at 26 February 2025).

A strong mortgage market, growing personal savings and enhanced State supports against a backdrop of a limited supply of competitively priced new starter homes is driving continued positive momentum in our core FTB market. In 2025, we launched 11 new schemes nationwide, including our first two Croí Cónaithe (Cities) Scheme approved apartment developments in Cork and Dublin. The success of these launches supports the Company's strategic objective to increase the delivery of new homes to FTBs over the medium term. Strong demand from this core market has continued into the early months of 2026, with six new private scheme launches planned in H1 2026, including our third Croí Cónaithe approved scheme at Exchange Square in our flagship Seven Mills development.

The Company continues to partner with a number of State supported counterparties to deliver competitively priced social & affordable homes under both forward purchase and forward fund9 transactions. We started 2026 active on six forward fund projects and expect to complete further forward fund transactions throughout the year, supporting efficient capital deployment and materially increasing our supply of social & affordable homes. The Government's announcement in 2025 of additional capital funding to the sector highlights their commitment to support increased social, affordable and private output in the market.

The supportive changes to rent legislation proposed by the Government in 2025 were approved by the Cabinet Committee in February 2026 and are expected to be enacted into legislation in March 2026. This new legislation, combined with lower interest rates and recent changes to apartment regulations has the potential to positively impact demand from institutional investors, who are seeking long term stable exposure to the Irish residential market and who have been largely absent in recent years. Our market leading position in the delivery of scaled apartment developments leaves us strongly positioned to capitalise on this demand.

Investing in Sustainable Growth

In 2025, the Company significantly increased its investment in construction activities with our highest ever WIP spend of EUR800.8 million (2024: EUR484.3 million). Our closing WIP balance of EUR413.8 million reflects the investment in the capacity and capability of our scaled operating platform and is 3.2x (2024: 4.0x) covered by over EUR1.32 billion sales in our closed and forward order book.

Cairn was active on an average of 25 residential sites during 2025, across both low and high-density schemes. The Company commenced nine new sites in 2026 including Montrose (Dublin 4), Ballymoneen (Galway), Garter Lane (Co. Dublin), Holybanks (Swords, Co. Dublin), Limebrook (Navan, Co. Meath), Wicker Walk (Seven Mills, Dublin 22), Exchange Square (Seven Mills, Dublin 22), Cross Avenue (Blackrock, Co. Dublin) and Creamfields (Co. Cork).

Our supply chain and procurement strategy leverages our scaled operating platform and multi-year, multi-project pipeline to maximise our operational competitive advantages, with a current committed procurement order book of over EUR1.8 billion on live sites. We are over 75% procured across all current live sites for 2026 and 50% for 2027, giving us material visibility over our cost profile. Whilst a significant portion of our materials are procured domestically, we remain aware of the potential impacts that the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty may have on our business in the future should there be a change.

2025 marked a significant step forward in embedding innovation and digital practices across our construction delivery model, enhancing our operational and productivity efficiencies. Key areas of progress and achievements in 2025 include:

-- Continued our phased delivery of Passive House standard apartments to our State partners at our Seven Mills, Pipers

Square, Niven Oaks and Whitehaven developments; -- Launched our 'Reality Capture' programme across all sites, using 3D drone surveys and lidar scanning to provide a

geospatially accurate record of site progress and infrastructure delivery from pre-acquisition to aftercare; -- Further defined our 'Securing Delivery' workstream to progress alternatives for facades, foundations and

structures. This programme focuses on identifying robust, future proof alternatives to how we deliver our homes;

and -- Established the first phase of the Cairn Innovation Test Centre which centralises innovation testing and acts as a

research and development (R&D) centre where employees, subcontractors and suppliers collaborate on innovation

projects. We will officially open the upgraded new Cairn Innovation Centre at our Seven Mills development during H1

2026 which will act as our innovation hub. The centre will also feature an enclosed presentation area designed as

an ultra-low embodied carbon building, showcasing our commitment and leadership in sustainability.

Landbank Strategy Securing Growth

In 2025, we acquired scaled sites (average site size of over 500 units) which are expected to deliver 4,500 new homes, primarily for the private market in the medium term. With our established strategic and disciplined capital allocation approach to land acquisition, we converted two option deals in the period, which will deliver c.2,800 of these 4,500 new homes. Our 39 site low-cost landbank now includes 13 high-density apartment sites and a number of our larger housing sites which include an element of high-density apartments (c.7,700 units at an average historic site cost of c.EUR43k per unit) and 26 low-density housing sites (c.10,700 units at an average historic site cost of c. EUR33k per unit).

Our land pipeline of up to 6,000 units provides enhanced landbank flexibility, whilst also securing our medium term growth in a capital efficient manner. This pipeline reflects transactions that can be executed opportunistically, ensuring flexibility to address changing demand dynamics and execute returns accretive opportunities as they arise.

During 2025, we obtained 11 new grants of planning comprising over 3,650 new homes (2024: seven new grants of planning permission comprising nearly 1,300 new homes). Over 70% of our c.18,400 unit landbank has effective full planning permission or is in the planning application process, underpinning our future growth.

Progress on Sustainability Initiatives

Cairn continues to prioritise being a leader in sustainability, further embedding it in our everyday ways of working. Highlights of our progress and achievements in 2025 include:

-- Reduced our Gender Pay Gap by 7.2%, primarily through increasing female representation in senior positions (2025

Mean Gender Pay Gap: 22.8%, 2024 Mean Gender Pay Gap: 30%); -- Awarded a CDP score of A, placing us in the Top 4% of companies scored globally for leadership in environmental

transparency and action; -- To date, we have commenced over 3,000 new homes to Passive House standard, including the delivery of 994 units7

across four developments during 2025; -- Won both the 'Innovation in Construction' award at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards and the 'Green

Transformation Award' at The Green Awards recognising our market leading delivery of new homes to the Passive House

standard at scale; -- Launched our third Employee Resource Group, 'Race & Ethnicity in Cairn', recognising our diverse workforce; -- Achieved Investors in Diversity Gold following a rigorous and independent assessment by the Irish Centre for

Diversity, recognising the inclusive culture we have built and embedded across Cairn; and -- Named among the Best Workplaces for Health & Wellness for the first time, in addition to being recognised as one of

Ireland's Top Five Best Large Workplaces in 2026 and one of Europe's Best Workplaces for 2025 by Great Place to

Work.

Board and Committee Changes

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of preparation

Cairn Homes plc with registered number 552564 ("the Company") is a company domiciled in Ireland. The Company's registered office is 45 Mespil Road, Dublin 4, D04 W2F1. The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group") and the Group's interest in joint venture undertakings are predominantly involved in the development of residential property for sale.

The unaudited consolidated financial information covers the year ended 31 December 2025.

The Group's unaudited consolidated financial information does not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are material to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since 31 December 2024. They should be read in conjunction with the statutory consolidated financial statements of the Group, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS ("EU IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024, and the interim results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, issued on 3 September 2025. The statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been filed with the Companies Registration Office and are available at www.cairnhomes.com. The audit opinion on those statutory financial statements was unqualified and did not contain any matters to which attention was drawn by way of emphasis. The statutory consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2025 will be published in March 2026 and will be available on www.cairnhomes.com.

The new IFRS standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are effective for the first time in the financial year ending 31 December 2025 have not had a material impact on the Group's reported profit or net assets in this consolidated financial information.

The Group's other accounting policies, presentation and method of computations adopted in the preparation of this consolidated financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The preparation of consolidated financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

The significant accounting judgements impacting this consolidated financial information, in order of significance are:

. scale and mix of each development and the achievement of associated planning permissions.

This may involve assumptions on new or amended planning permission applications. This judgement then feeds into the process of forecasting expected profitability by development which is used to determine the profit that the Group is able to recognise on its developments in each reporting period and the net realisable value of inventories.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty impacting this consolidated financial information are:

. forecast selling prices;

. build cost inflation in relation to sites that are not fully procured; and

. carrying value of inventories and allocations from inventories to cost of sales (note 7).

Due to the nature of the Group's activities and in particular the scale of its development costs and the length of the development cycle, the Group has to allocate site-wide development costs between units completed in the current year and those in future years. It also has to forecast the costs to complete on such developments and make estimates relating to future sales prices. Forecast selling prices and build cost inflation are inherently uncertain due to changes in market conditions. These estimates impact management's assessment of the net realisable value of the Group's inventories and also determine the extent of profit or loss that should be recognised in respect of each development in each reporting period. In making such assessments and allocations, there is a degree of inherent estimation uncertainty.

The Group has developed internal controls designed to effectively assess and review carrying values and profit recognition, and the appropriateness of estimates made. The Group recognises its gross profit on each sale, based on the particular unit sold and the total cost attaching to that unit. As the build cost on a site can take place over a number of reporting periods

the determination of the cost of sale to release on each individual unit sale is dependent on up-to-date cost forecasting and expected profit margins across the scheme.

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors have considered the impact of climate change. There has been no material impact identified on the financial reporting judgements and estimates as a result of climate change. In particular, the Directors considered the impact of climate change in respect of the following areas: going concern and viability of the Group over the next three years; cash flow forecasts used in the impairment assessments of inventories; and carrying value and useful economic lives of property, plant and equipment. Whilst there is currently no medium-term impact expected from climate change, the Directors are aware of the ever-changing risks attached to climate change and will regularly assess these risks against judgements and estimates made in preparation of the Group's financial statements.

The consolidated financial information is presented in Euro, which is the functional currency of the Company and presentation currency of the Group, rounded to the nearest thousand.

Going Concern

The Group delivered a strong operational and financial performance in 2025 with a 10% increase in revenue to EUR944.6 million (2024: EUR859.9 million) and a 16% increase in profit after tax to EUR132.7 million (2024: EUR114.6 million).

The Group had a total committed debt facility of EUR500.0 million at the start of 2026 with an average maturity of nearly four years. Net debt at 31 December 2025 was EUR171.3 million (31 December 2024: EUR154.4 million). As at 31 December 2025, the Company had available liquidity, including cash and undrawn facilities, of EUR327.1 million, compared to EUR229.6 million as at 31 December 2024.

The Directors have carried out a detailed assessment of the principal risks facing the Group and have considered the impact of these risks on the going concern of the business. In making this assessment, consideration has been given to the uncertainty inherent in financial forecasting including future market conditions such as sales prices. Where appropriate, severe but plausible downside-sensitivities have been applied to the key factors affecting the future financial performance of the Group.

Having considered the Group's forecasts and outlook including the strength of its forward order book, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this consolidated financial information.

2. Revenue

2025           2024 
 
                               EUR'000          EUR'000 
 
Residential property sales                                
 
Recognised at a point in time                481,930         382,802 
 
Recognised over time                    446,024         455,706 
 
Total residential property sales              927,954         838,508 
 
Site and other sales - recognised at a point in time    13,670          21,310 
 
Site and other sales - recognised over time         2,937          - 
 
Revenue from contracts with customers            944,561         859,818 
 
Other revenue                                       
 
Income from property rental                 45            53 
 
                               944,606         859,871 

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, according to the specific contractual arrangements. Revenue recognised at a point in time is recognised when control over the property has been transferred to the customer, which occurs at legal completion.

Revenue recognised over time arises on forward fund contracts where land is sold up-front and the cost of delivering the new homes and commercial units is paid for by the purchaser on a phased basis. This revenue is measured based on total costs incurred at the reporting date relative to the estimated total cost of the contract, using an independent third-party valuation of the work performed.

3. Finance costs

2025             2024

          Interest expense on financial liabilities 14,359                  14,474 
          measured at amortised cost 
 
 
          Cashflow hedges reclassified from other  124                    (455) 
          comprehensive income 
 
 
          Other finance costs            1,197                   843 
  
 
          Interest on lease liabilities       230                    233 
  
 
          Interest on deferred land payables    797                    - 
  
 
                             16,707                          15,095 

Interest expense includes interest and amortised arrangement fees and issue costs on the drawn term loans, revolving credit facility and loan notes. Other finance costs include commitment fees on the undrawn element of the revolving credit facility during the year.

The discounting of the deferred payments for land purchases produces a notional interest payable amount and this is charged to finance expenses.

Trade receivables relate to amounts due in relation to residential property sales to institutional investors and State-supported counterparties. Included within trade receivables are amounts of EUR1.3 million (2024: EUR65.4 million) which relate to funds due from State-supported counterparties. Within the trade receivables, EUR17.2 million (2024: EUR18.5 million) relates to retentions.

Contract assets of EUR72.4 million (31 December 2024: EUR55.3 million) consist of revenue earned with State-supported and other counterparties that is either unbilled or the timing of receipt of consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time.

The Directors consider that all construction bonds are current assets as they will be realised in the Group's normal operating cycle, which is such that a proportion of construction bonds will not be recovered within 12 months. It is estimated that EUR6.6 million (2024: EUR6.4 million) of the construction bond balance at 31 December 2025 will be recovered after more than 12 months from that date.

The carrying value of all trade and other receivables is approximate to their fair value.

The Group now has access to EUR500.0 million of committed debt facilities, with an average maturity of nearly four years.

All debt facilities are secured by a debenture incorporating fixed and floating charges and assignments over all the assets of the Group.

During the year, EUR77.84 million of deferred consideration was recorded, relating to EUR77.05 million of deferred land payments and EUR0.79 million of finance expenses. Deferred consideration relates to amounts payable in relation to land purchased by the Group on deferred payment terms. In accordance with IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' the creditor is initially recorded at fair value, the price paid for the land being discounted to present day, and subsequently at amortised cost. The difference between the nominal value and the initial fair value is amortised over the deferred term to finance expenses, increasing the land creditor to its full cash settlement value on the payment date.

Other creditors represents amounts due for payroll taxes and Relevant Contracts Tax. The carrying value of all trade and other payables is approximate to their fair value.

12. Earnings per share

Favoritenwechsel - diese 5 Werte sollten Anleger im Depot haben!
Das Börsenjahr 2026 ist für viele Anleger ernüchternd gestartet. Tech-Werte straucheln, der Nasdaq 100 tritt auf der Stelle und ausgerechnet alte Favoriten wie Microsoft und SAP rutschen zweistellig ab. KI ist plötzlich kein Rückenwind mehr, sondern ein Belastungsfaktor, weil Investoren beginnen, die finanzielle Nachhaltigkeit zu hinterfragen.

Gleichzeitig vollzieht sich an der Wall Street ein lautloser Favoritenwechsel. Während viele auf Wachstum setzen, feiern Value-Titel mit verlässlichen Cashflows ihr Comeback: Telekommunikation, Industrie, Energie, Pharma – die „Cashmaschinen“ der Realwirtschaft verdrängen hoch bewertete Hoffnungsträger.

In unserem aktuellen Spezialreport stellen wir fünf Aktien vor, die genau in dieses neue Marktbild passen: solide, günstig bewertet und mit attraktiver Dividende. Werte, die nicht nur laufende Erträge liefern, sondern auch bei Marktkorrekturen Sicherheit bieten.
