Warehouse REIT plc, on 25 June 2025, issued an amendment statement to its Annual Report published on 11 June 2025 for the financial year ended 31 March 2025. The company corrected two immaterial inaccuracies, specifically revising net annualised rents from £38.727 million to £37.401 million. This altered the EPRA Net Initial Yield from 4.9% to 4.8% and the 'topped-up' net initial yield from 5.3% to 5.1%, and also updated the definition for Occupancy on page 152 while deleting a reference to the Company's Speke asset on page 24.

Annual Report - Amendment Statement
Further to the announcement of the Company's Annual Report on 11th June 2025, the Company has very recently become aware of two immaterial inaccuracies in this report, which are corrected below:
1. Table 4: EPRA Net Initial Yield - page 138
The 2025 reported number for net annualised rents incorrectly transposed £1.3 million of ground rent expenses for the financial year to 31 March 2025. The corrected numbers are shown below:

There are no changes required to the information provided for the prior year to 31 March 2024.
2. Definition of Occupancy
The definition for Occupancy on page 152 should be changed to remove the reference to "equivalent to one minus the EPRA vacancy rate" and the reference to the Company's asset at Speke on page 24 should be deleted.
This is due to there being immaterial differences in the definition between Company Occupancy Rates and EPRA vacancy rates arising out of when assets fall vacant which were relevant to the Company's asset at Speke.
