Xior, the listed company specialising in student real estate, reported an increase in operational profit for the first half of 2025, according to its interim financial results released on Thursday.
The company’s EPRA earnings, a key performance measure in the real estate sector that reflects operational profit, rose to €50.5 million, marking a 13% increase compared to the same period last year.
Operating across eight countries, Xior attributed its performance to a 5.36% rise in rental growth and a high, stable occupancy rate of 98%. The net rental income reached €86.6 million. Additionally, the company successfully maintained its debt ratio just below 50%.
In the accompanying press release, Xior stated that demand for student housing across Europe remains “consistently high.” The persistent scarcity of high-quality student rooms, coupled with a growing student population and a decline in new development projects, play a significant role in this demand. The structural shortage and strong underlying demand allow rental prices to be adjusted in line with inflation, without impacting leasing activity.
