Unaudited consolidated interim results 
for the six months ended 30 June 2025

Nature of the business
Lighthouse is domiciled in Malta and listed on the Main Board of the JSE 
Limited ("JSE"). The Group invests in dominant and defensive malls located 
in large Western European cities with a strong economic underpin and economic 
growth. A key component of the Group's strategy is to evolve and adapt malls 
to cater for the ever-changing demands of retailers and consumers.

Distributable earnings and commentary on results
The board of directors of Lighthouse (the "Board") has declared an interim 
distribution of 1.31220 EUR cents per share for the six months ended 
June 2025, payable in cash. A detailed announcement, including salient 
dates and the tax treatment applicable to the interim distribution, will 
be published separately. 

The distribution of 1.31220 EUR cents per share declared for this interim 
period is 7.9% higher than the 1.21660 EUR cents per share of the comparable 
prior period. The interim results reflect the accretive expansion of the 
Iberian portfolio over the past 18 months following the disposal of the 
Hammerson investment during 2024. The growth in distributable earnings was 
achieved despite the negative impact of refinancing the borrowings secured 
by Forum Coimbra during December 2024.

* The loan-to-value ratio is calculated by dividing the management 
account values of gross interest-bearing borrowings, adjusted for the 
fair value of interest rate derivatives, cash included in borrowings'
services reserve accounts and cash and cash equivalents by the total 
of investments in property, listed equity securities at fair value and 
investments at fair value.

Outlook
Lighthouse remains dedicated to pursuing opportunities in its core markets, 
prioritising leading retailers and dominant assets that deliver robust 
risk-adjusted returns and consistent long-term income growth.

Acquisition growth is anticipated to moderate due to increased competition 
for top-tier assets, driven by heightened interest from institutional 
investors in retail real estate and a constrained supply of premium, 
market-dominant properties.

The Iberian region is expected to maintain its strong economic performance 
relative to broader Europe. Lighthouse's portfolio is strategically 
positioned to achieve sustained increases in sales, footfall and net 
property income, underpinning solid financial performance in FY2026.
Growth will be further bolstered in 2026 by full-year contributions 
from recently acquired properties and delivering on value-enhancing 
capital investments.

The Board confirms its FY2025 distribution guidance of approximately 
2.70 EUR cents per share.
