Net debt/GAV -17.3% -20.2% -24.5%

On the other hand, we expect CIR to report FY26 net income of c.EUR44m,

supported by higher dividend distributions from KOS, while the holding business

remains around break-even, excluding dividends.

We forecast net cash to decline to c.EUR155m, reflecting the full acquisition of

KOS and the ongoing share buyback programme, before gradually improving from

FY27 onwards.

NAV and TP accretion driven by additional buyback and WACC assumption

With the reduction in our WACC to 8.5% (from 9.4%), due to improving House DCF

assumptions, we revisit our KOS valuation, moving from EUR600m (driven by the

takeover price of minorities announced at the end of 2025) to EUR700m (DCF and

Opco/Propco based).
