MLI Operational Highlights

Continued rental growth and strong occupier demand

- Four consecutive quarters of 20%  growth in rent at
  lease renewal or upon new letting now recorded.
- 5.0%(2) growth in like-for-like annual passing rent
  (2020: 5.1%), with a 5.1%(2) increase in like-for-like
  annual ERV (2020: 4.2%).
- Occupancy remained robust at 93.9%, up from 93.7%
  at 31 March 2021.
- Strong rent collections with over 95% of invoices billed
  in 2020 now paid and 2021 trending to the same level.

Continued progress in investment strategy with transition to 100% MLI on track

- Seven MLI estates acquired in the period for an
  aggregate purchase price of GBP36.5 million, generating an
  additional GBP2.5 million of rental income per annum.
- Purchases of a further four MLI estates completed post
  period end for GBP23.3 million in total, generating an
  additional GBP1.7 million of annualised rental income.
- Completed the sale of two non-MLI assets in separate
  transactions for GBP82 million in aggregate during the
  period reflecting a 1.4% discount to March 2021
  valuations.  
- On 10 November 2021, a contract of sale for the
  Switzerland property, known as Lugano, was signed
  and notarised for CHF12.5 million (GBP9.9 million;
  31 March 2021 book value: GBP12.0 million). We anticipate
  completion in the next few weeks. The balance sheet at
  30 September 2021 reflects this lower sale valuation.
- MLI 92.5% of total portfolio based on valuations as at
  30 September 2021, compared to 74.3% at year end,
  with the Company on track to achieve 100% MLI target
  by 31 March 2022.

*  'Total Accounting Return' is the growth in EPRA net tangible assets per share
   plus dividends paid, expressed as a percentage of EPRA net tangible assets
   per share at the beginning of the period. 'EPS' means earnings per share.
   'LTV' means loan-to-value ratio which is the ratio of total borrowings, less
   unrestricted cash, to the Group's aggregate market value of properties. 'IFRS'
   means International Financial Reporting Standards. 'Like-for-Like' is a change in
   measure for reference data existing in the current and previous period.

1. The directors intend to offer shareholders the option to receive all or part of
   their dividend entitlement by way of a scrip issue of Industrials REIT ordinary
   shares or in cash. A further announcement informing shareholders of the
   salient dates and tax treatment will be released in due course.

2. The 5.0% growth in the like-for-like annual passing rent is restated from 6.7% reported 
   in the Q2 trading update issued by the Company on 29 October 2021. The discrepancy arose 
   as like-for-like data inadvertently included an acquisition from December 2020, which
   formed part of an already owned estate, Capital Business Park in Cardiff.
   The same applies to like-for-like ERV growth which is restated from 6.5%
   to 5.1%.
