Summary1

  • Significant increase in new headline rent secured during H1 2026 to £53 million, versus £31 million in H1 2025.
  • £24 million of new pre-lets signed during the period, resulting in a record pipeline of projects under construction and in advanced negotiations, driven by strong momentum across occupier markets.
  • Disciplined capital allocation to drive performance: development capex now expected to be £500-550 million, part-funded by £308 million of disposals completed or exchanged, above book value.
  • Data centre strategy progressing well with 0.5GVA added to strategic power bank, signing of a second joint venture with Pure DC and discussions in progress for first fully fitted data centre lease in London.

David Sleath, Chief Executive of SEGRO commented:

“SEGRO has had a very encouraging start to the year, with strong occupier momentum through the first two quarters of 2026. Both our existing portfolio and development pipeline have contributed to the strong £53 million of new headline rent contracted during the period and we now have a record level of projects in our current and near-term development pipeline.”

KEY HIGHLIGHTS1,2:

  • £53 million of new headline rent contracted during the first half, including £27 million from the existing portfolio linked to the leasing of vacant space and capture of reversion and £26 million of development lettings, including £24 million of new pre-lets signed.
  • 44 per cent. uplift on rent reviews, renewals and regears in the UK (Group: 32 per cent., Continental Europe: 4 per cent.) as embedded mark-to-market rent potential in the portfolio is successfully captured.
  • Occupancy 94.5 per cent.: a small reduction since year end due to recent speculative development completions in our German urban portfolio.
  • Record pipeline of projects under construction or in advanced negotiations: £90 million of potential rent, 75 per cent. of which is associated with pre-lets, offering an attractive development yield. As such, capex guidance for 2026 is narrowed to £500-550 million, the top end of the previous range.
  • Driving performance and self-funding growth through active capital recycling: £213 million of disposals completed above book value (with £10 million of associated rental income) and a further £95 million exchanged and due to complete later in 2026.
  • Maintaining strong cost discipline, reflected in a reduction of EPRA cost ratio (excluding share-based payments) to less than 18 per cent., down from 19.8 per cent. at year end.
  • Pro forma adjusted NAV of 905 pence3, a small reduction since 31 December 2025, reflecting certain differences in approach by our new UK valuer regarding yield assumptions in some of our urban assets.
  • Continued execution of data centre strategy: added a further 0.5GVA to strategic power bank, signed a second fully fitted joint venture with Pure DC and discussions in progress for first fully fitted data centre lease in Park Royal, London.
