(‘CTP’, ‘the Group’ or the ‘Company’), Europe’s largest\nlisted owner, developer and manager of logistics and industrial real estate by\ngross lettable area, announces that Moody’s Ratings (‘Moody’s’) has\nupgraded CTP’s long-term issuer rating and senior unsecured rating to Baa2\nwith a Stable outlook from Baa3 with a Positive outlook.\n\nSince receiving its inaugural Baa3 rating in 2020, CTP has nearly tripled its\nportfolio, growing from 5.1 million sqm to 14.7 million sqm of GLA, while\nexpanding from €5.9 billion to €18.9 billion of GAV. Over the same period,\nCTP has further diversified geographically, reinforcing its leading position\nin Central and Eastern Europe while successfully expanding into Western\nEuropean markets, including Germany and Italy.\n\nIn Q1-2026, CTP delivered record leasing performance, signing leases for over\n€53 million of annual rental income. This demonstrates continued robust\noccupier demand across its portfolio. CTP’s vertically integrated business\nmodel, strong tenant relationships, and market-leading development yields of\nover 10% continue to support profitable growth while strengthening credit\nmetrics over time. It also supports CTP’s clear path towards €1 billion of\nannualised rental income by 2027, further underpinning the long-term strong\ncashflow generation, which supports the Company’s self-funded growth model.\n\nIn the rationale for its decision, Moody’s stated:\n\n“The upgrade of CTP’s rating to Baa2 was prompted by the Company’s\nbusiness profile improvements, notably improved scale and diversification of\nits logistic and industrial real estate portfolio and a continued robust\nrental growth performance with modest vacancy rates. We expect ongoing demand\nfor industrial real estate assets, which is mitigating the macroeconomic\nvulnerability.”\n\nRichard Wilkinson, Group CFO at CTP, said:\n\n“We are very pleased with Moody’s decision to upgrade CTP to Baa2 with a\nStable outlook. This is a strong recognition of the scale, quality, and\nresilience of our platform, as well as our disciplined financial management\nand consistent operational delivery, since our inaugural rating in 2020.”\n\nAbout CTP\n\nCTP is Europe’s largest listed developer, owner, and operator of logistics\nand industrial real estate by gross leasable area (“GLA”), with a\nportfolio of 14.7 million sqm of GLA in 11 countries and 2.0 million sqm under\nconstruction as at 31 March 2026.
