Grainger plc Announces Construction Begins on Its Second BTR Scheme At Guildford Station Grainger plc announced that construction has commenced on its second BTR scheme at Guildford Station, delivering 179 new rental homes. This c.PS75 million investment is in line with Grainger's cluster strategy and adds 179 new homes to the 98 homes already delivered at The Mint, totaling 277 homes and over PS116m of investment in Guildford by Grainger. In partnership with Solum, a joint venture between Platform4 - Network Rail's property development company - and Kier Property, the regeneration at Guildford Station reinforces the potential for high-quality housing development adjacent to train stations and aligns with the Government's announcement in November 2025. This is the second project the partnership has delivered at Guildford, with excellent connectivity credentials, reflecting Grainger's strict investment criteria focused on assets with strong transport links to high employment zones. Earlier this week, Grainger's Chief Executive Helen Gordon joined the Housing Secretary, Steve Reed, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, at a roundtable with industry leaders to discuss the National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning and Infrastructure Act. The conversation focused on planning reform, infrastructure investment and partnership with the private sector. Construction commencing at Guildford Station reflects this shared focus on accelerating housing delivery through well-connected, station-led development. The scheme will benefit from the wider PS150m regeneration of the station quarter which includes PS25m of station improvements. These comprise a new double-height ticket office designed to accommodate future customer growth through to 2035, improved pedestrian routes to platforms and a new multi-storey car park - all of which enhance transport connectivity for the town. Construction is expected to complete in 2028, with leasing commencing thereafter, contributing to Grainger's earnings from FY28, in line with prior earnings guidance. Upcoming Dividend • Jan 08

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 13% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (11% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings have declined by 13% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jun 08
