Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust (ORIT) investor relations material

Executive summary

• Interim and H1 2026 results showed resilient cash performance, with revenue and EBITDA ahead of budget despite sector-wide valuation pressures, lower onshore wind forecasts, lower power price assumptions, and higher discount rates, resulting in a NAV total return of -5% year-over-year.

• Portfolio diversification across five countries and technologies, with 95% operational assets and 5% developer investments, supported income stability and future growth.

• Dividend cover increased to 1.38x after scheduled debt amortization, with dividends fully covered by operational cash flow and the FY 2026 dividend target of 6.23p per share on track.

• Long-term assumption changes, especially in onshore wind, led to a reduction in NAV.

• Strategic focus remains on disciplined capital allocation, asset recycling, and progressing the ORIT 2030 plan for long-term NAV growth and impact.
