Q3 trading, operational and rent collection update

Adjusted earnings
• Hammerson now expects FY22 adjusted earnings to be not less than £100m.
• Year-to-date, like-for-like gross rental income increased by 11%; net rental income continues to
   benefit from strong leasing performance, improved collections and resulting lower bad debt
   charges.
• Earnings also benefited from lower administration and net finance costs, and a better than
   expected performance from Value Retail.

Footfall
• UK and Ireland footfall has continued to show an improving trend to currently c.90% of 2019 levels,
   with France at c.95%.
• Footfall consistently exceeds national indices.

Sales
• Sales continue to be above 2019 levels with UK Q3 sales +4%; France +3%; and Ireland +2%.
• Footfall at Value Retail in Q3 was around 90% of 2019 levels, with brand sales approaching 93%,
   while spend per visit is around 4% ahead of 2019.

Leasing
• 221 leases have been signed year-to-date, representing £17m of headline rent, 43% ahead of
   previous passing rent and 2% ahead of ERV on a net effective basis.
• More than half of leasing has been to non-fashion categories, including F&B, leisure and services,
   although best-in-class fashion brands and new concepts remain core to our offer.
• Demand for prime space remains high, with Group occupancy at 95% including the Cergy
   extension. Our pipeline for Q4 is strong.

Rent Collections
• Group Q3 22 rent collections to date are at 93%.
• We expect collection rates to continue to improve further by the full year.

Valuations
• Yields remained stable in aggregate at Q3 with only marginal adjustments to ERVs.

Debt and disposals
• Value Retail completed the refinancing of Bicester Village in September.
• The Group announced on 3 November 2022 that it intends to exercise the par call option on the
  remaining €235.5m of 2023 eurobonds with existing cash on balance sheet.
• No further Group unsecured debt maturities not covered by existing cash until 2025.
• Hammerson delivered £194m in disposals in H1. Discussions are ongoing with a range of interested
  parties on a further c.£300m of non-core disposals, and we remain confident of completion of
  these disposals by the end of 2023 as previously guided.
