www.ascencio.be Press release 2 Highlights of the past quarter In a macro -economic environment marked by a stabilizing inflation, central banks have maintained a cautious stance by keeping interest rates relatively stable and have even gradually initiated cuts. The main goal is to anchor inflation expectations over the long term while preserving economic growth. In this context, commercial real estate on the city outskirts showed resilience, with strong levels of activity both in the take-up of quality space and in investments. This asset class is indeed seen as a defensive alternative in the face of economic uncertainty and benefits from higher yields than other commercial real estate segments. Regarding Ascencio’s portfolio, the quarter was marked by the acquisition of the Horizon Provence retail park in Monteux, in the south ‑east of France, for €22.8 million excluding VAT. This acquisition is perfectly aligned with Ascencio’s investment strategy. The retail park has a surface area of more than 12,000 m 2, benefits from a strong food component (Super U, Maison des Agriculteurs) and is ideally located in a n area in fast economic development. In terms of rental management, Ascencio has signed 6 leases (3 new ones and 3 renewals) for a total surface area of approximately 4,250 m 2. Ascencio also experienced some departures, mainly at a Walloon site requiring repositioning. Taking these events into account, the EPRA occupancy rate of the Company’s portfolio stands at 96.6% (vs 97.2% at 30/09/2025). In addition, the Company invested €1.1 million in properties within its portfolio, notably in (i) roof renovations in Belgium (Nivelles and Hannut) and Spain (Valencia and Barcelona) as well as (ii) demolition works required for the redevelopment of part of its Bellefleur retail park in Couillet (Belgium). Finally, over 90 new charging stations were installed in France during the past quarter, bringing the number of operational charging points up to more than 150 (i.e. more than 50% of the program in the French portfolio), already generating more than €4 million of cash inflow. Regarding financial management, Ascencio obtained an extension to its bank credit line of €30 million and, in accordance with its interest rate hedging policy, acquired 2 new IRS derivative financial instruments for a total of €20 million covering the period 2029–2032. Taking into account these operations and the acquisition of the Horizon Provence retail park, Ascencio has a total amount of €73 million in financing lines available at 31/12/2025. Average cost of debt was 2.15% for the past quarter, i.e. stable compared to the previous financial year. The average duration of its credits is 3.1 years (vs 3.3 years at 30/09/2025) and the hedging ratio of its financial liabilities (increasing from €292.0 million at 30/09/2025 to €309.4 million) stands at 89.5% (vs 96.6%).

www.ascencio.be Press release 3 Key figures for the first quarter of financial year 2025/2026 CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT Rental income fell by 1.3%, mainly due to the disposal of properties in Belgium during the previous financial year. Rental income increased by 0.3% on a like-for-like basis. EPRA Earnings were down 2.6%, from €9.4 million to €9.2 million at 31/12/2025, mainly due to the disposal of properties and the impact of recent lease renegotiations. Property charges, overheads and financial expenses all remained stable overall compared to the same period in the previous year. It should be noted that the effects of the acquisition of the Monteux retail park, which took place on 30/12/2025, are not reflected in the income statement in the financial statements closed on 31/12/2025. Net income increased to €10.5 million (vs €9.0 million at 31/12/2024). This change is the result of increases in the value of the real estate portfolios and hedging instruments, compared with a slight decrease in the overall value of these portfolios a year earlier.

www.ascencio.be Press release 4 The value of the investment properties portfolio stands at €770.7 million, up from €746.5 million at 30/09/2025, due to the acquisition of the Monteux retail park for €22.8 million excluding VAT.
