MELBOURNE, Australia, April 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN), an Australian based and globally integrated biopharmaceutical company is pleased to announce continued sales growth (unaudited) of Travelan®, an over-the-counter immune supplement that targets pathogenic bacteria and the toxins they produce in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Continued Travelan® Q3 sales growth (+15% on pcp) in Australia can be contributed to: (1) increased awareness and consideration driven by extensive digital and social media marketing. (2) same store growth as a result of increased promotion and past promotions driving new customers and return customers respectively; (3) growth from new stores within banner groups in which we secured core ranging in FY25; (4) increased South East Asian travel.

Q3 sales in the U.S. increased (+1% on pcp) on the back on number of marketing initiatives including: (1) improved Travelan® store on Amazon.com; (2) local U.S. Travelan® Facebook and Instagram pages; (3) increased paid social, influencer and organic social media marketing. These growth factors were offset by the impact of the Australian dollar strengthening against the US dollar.

During FY25 we had a Q1 pipeline fill into over a thousand Canada retail doors on the back of securing listings within key pharmacy and grocery retail groups. We previously reported that sales picked up on the back of consumer promotions in Q2 FY26 (+191% on prior quarter). As anticipated, there was a continued increase in pull through from stores as we continue to build Travelan® brand awareness within Canada though our in-store educational programs, in-store promotions, and social media marketing as well as initial sales to Jean Coutu, the leading pharmacy group in Quebec, the second largest province in Canada by population. Sales in Q3 FY26 grew 82% on the prior quarter.

Kura Oncology Reports Darlifarnib Plus Cabozantinib Demonstrates Robust Activity in Patients With Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Previously Treated With Cabozantinib

Data from subset analysis of cabozantinib-pretreated patients support potential to overcome resistance and resensitize tumors to VEGF TKI therapy

44% ORR and 94% DCR in ccRCC patients previously treated with cabozantinib, with tumor shrinkage observed in 75% of patients

Responses observed in heavily pretreated patients, including those with stable disease on prior cabozantinib

Durable treatment durations reaching 56 weeks, with one-third of patients remaining on therapy at time of data cut-off

Manageable safety and tolerability profile in all RCC patients across multiple dose levels

Virtual investor event today, April 17, 2026, at 7:30 a.m. PT
 / 
10:30 a.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. CEST

SAN DIEGO and PARIS, April 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kura Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: KURA), a biopharmaceutical company focused on precision medicines for the treatment of cancer, today announced new preliminary data from a subset analysis of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) previously treated with cabozantinib in the ongoing FIT-001 clinical trial (NCT06026410) of darlifarnib (KO-2806) in combination with cabozantinib. Results were presented at the 2026 International Kidney Cancer Symposium (IKCS): Europe in Paris, France.

The analysis specifically evaluated patients with ccRCC who had previously received cabozantinib, a population that typically derives limited benefit from subsequent therapy. In this setting, the combination of darlifarnib and cabozantinib demonstrated robust antitumor activity along with a manageable safety profile as demonstrated in all RCC patients across multiple dose levels, including full dose cabozantinib. These findings are consistent with clinical and preclinical data presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and in earlier data disclosures supporting the potential of darlifarnib to enhance the activity of VEGFR-targeted therapies and to address mechanisms of resistance.

Clinical Activity in Cabozantinib-Pretreated Patients (N=16):

  • Objective response rate (ORR) was 44%, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 94% across all doses tested in this population
  • Tumor shrinkage observed in 75% of patients, with reductions ranging from 32% to 47% among responders
  • Antitumor activity observed in a heavily pre-treated, cabozantinib-exposed population, including patients whose best response to prior cabozantinib was stable disease
  • Responses observed in patients previously treated with cabozantinib in the immediate prior line as well as those who had received other TKIs in addition to cabozantinib
  • Treatment durations ranged from 8 to 56 weeks, with six patients remaining on therapy at the time of data cutoff

These findings are notable given that patients who progress on cabozantinib are generally considered unlikely to respond to subsequent cabozantinib therapy.

“Patients with advanced ccRCC whose disease progresses on cabozantinib have limited treatment options,” said Adanma Ayanambakkam, M.D., M.S., Assistant Professor of Hematology Oncology Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology Research, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. “The tumor shrinkage and high disease control rate observed with darlifarnib in combination with cabozantinib suggest this approach may offer meaningful clinical benefit in a refractory setting or in patients with disease progression after therapy.”

The FIT-001 study is evaluating darlifarnib in patients with RCC at once-daily doses of 3 mg, 5 mg or 8 mg alternating 7 days on and off in combination with cabozantinib at once-daily doses of 60 mg or 40 mg. All patients must have received prior immunotherapy. The study has advanced into Phase 1b dose expansion to assess an optimal biologically active dose for the combination.

“These data highlight the potential of darlifarnib to overcome resistance to prior cabozantinib and enhance the activity of VEGF TKIs in patients with advanced RCC,” said Mollie Leoni, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Kura Oncology. “We are highly encouraged by these results and are committed to advancing this combination to evaluate further its potential to deliver meaningful benefit for RCC patients.”

2026 IKCS: Europe Presentation

The presentation from 2026 IKCS: Europe is available on Kura’s website at www.kuraoncology.com under the Posters and Presentations tab in the Farnesyl Transferase Inhibition section.

Kura will host a webcast and conference call today, April 17, 2026, at 7:30 a.m. PT / 10:30 a.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. CEST featuring management and Adanma Ayanambakkam, M.D., M.S., Assistant Professor of Hematology Oncology and Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology Research, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.

NM – Not Meaningful

* Annualized

** These market value adjustments relate to assets held for employee and director benefits that are effectively offset within salaries and employee benefits and other non-interest expense.

While total revenue has increased versus the first quarter of 2025, it decreased 2 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis(1) compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Net interest income decreased 3 percent driven primarily by fewer days in the quarter and elevated non-recurring items in the prior quarter that did not repeat. Total net interest margin was also negatively impacted by tighter asset spreads associated with higher-quality asset growth contributing to a 3 basis point decrease to 3.67 percent.

Non-interest income decreased 2 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis(1) during the first quarter. Capital markets increased 5 percent in the first quarter attributable to higher loan syndication and securities underwriting activity, as well as commercial swap income. Bank-owned life insurance increased 30 percent primarily due to higher claims income. Service charges, wealth management and mortgage income remained relatively stable compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Card and ATM fees decreased 5 percent due primarily to seasonally lower activity. Other miscellaneous income also decreased during the quarter attributable primarily to commercial lease sales activity with $6 million of gains recognized in the prior quarter compared to $7 million of losses recognized in the current quarter.

NM – Not Meaningful

* The company holds assets in order to effectively offset the market value adjustments on supplemental 401(k) liabilities and the market value adjustments on those assets are recorded in non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses decreased 3 percent on a reported basis and 4 percent on an adjusted basis(1) compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting broad-based improvement across most expense categories. Salaries and benefits remained relatively stable as declines in market value adjustments for supplemental employee benefit liabilities offset the seasonal increases in payroll taxes, 401(k) contributions, and one month of merit. FDIC insurance assessments increased $16 million attributable to an adjustment for the company’s FDIC special insurance assessment recognized in the prior quarter. The company’s first quarter efficiency ratio was 56.6 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis(1).

* Other consumer loans includes Regions’ Home Improvement Financing portfolio.

Average loans increased 1 percent while ending loans increased 2 percent compared to the prior quarter. Average business loans increased 2 percent during the quarter while average consumer loans decreased 1 percent. Growth was driven by broad-based C&I lending including power and utilities, manufacturing, healthcare and asset-based lending. Approximately half of this quarter’s growth came from higher line utilization, with the remainder of the balance driven by new loans, primarily with existing clients. Loan growth was also very high quality as almost two-thirds were investment grade credits and the majority of the remaining were near investment grade credits.

*Other deposits represent non-customer balances primarily consisting of wholesale funding (for example, selected deposits and brokered time deposits) and additional wholesale funding arrangements.

The company’s deposit base continues to be a source of strength and an industry differentiator in liquidity and margin performance. Ending deposits increased approximately 1 percent while average deposits increased modestly during the quarter. Average corporate deposits increased 1 percent, while average consumer and wealth deposits remained relatively stable. Ending consumer deposits increased over 1 percent reflecting typical seasonal patterns associated primarily with income tax refunds, as well as the focus on customer acquisition and priority markets.

* Excludes fully guaranteed residential first mortgages that are 90+ days past due and still accruing.

** Business services represents the combined total of commercial and investor real estate loans.

Overall asset quality continues to demonstrate improvement. Based on recent discussions with commercial clients and ongoing relationship-manager engagement, customer sentiment remains generally optimistic, and consumer fundamentals continue to be sound. Aggregate spending trends among Regions’ consumer customers are stable to modestly positive, and labor market conditions show no indications of material weakness.

Net charge-offs were $130 million or an annualized 54 basis points of average loans, representing a 5 basis point decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The majority of business services charge-offs came from previously identified portfolios of interest with established reserves. Business services criticized loans and non-performing loans remained relatively stable with the ratio of non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans declining 2 basis points to 0.71 percent and the ratio of business services criticized loans as a percentage of total business loans declining 16 basis points to 5.15 percent.

Allowance increases tied to loan growth and greater macroeconomic uncertainty were more than offset by meaningful progress in resolving loans within previously identified portfolios of interest, sustained risk-rating upgrades exceeding downgrades, and continued improvement in business services criticized and total non-performing loan ratios. As a result, the allowance for credit losses declined $39 million. Strengthening asset quality across portfolios, combined with high-quality loan growth, drove an 8 basis point reduction in the allowance ratio to 1.68 percent, while coverage of non-performing loans remained solid at 238 percent.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP), return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP), adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP), common equity Tier 1 ratio (inclusive of AOCI) (non-GAAP), as well as adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted fee income ratio. Adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP) and adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP) are used to determine adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP). Net interest income (GAAP) on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the adjusted fee income and adjusted efficiency ratios. Net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments, net of tax, to arrive at adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP). Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) by the average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP). Net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments, net of tax, to arrive at adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity. Adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing the adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP) by the average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP). Adjusted common equity Tier 1 ratio (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing the adjusted common equity tier 1 (non-GAAP), which is arrived at by excluding the AOCI loss on securities and AOCI loss on defined benefit pension plans and other post employment benefits from common equity Tier 1, by the company’s total risk-weighted assets (GAAP).

Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions’ business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the company on the same basis as that applied by management. Tangible common book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) by tangible assets (non-GAAP). The numerator for tangible book value per share (non-GAAP), tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP), is calculated by excluding intangible assets and the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets from common shareholders’ equity (GAAP). The denominator for tangible book value per share (non-GAAP), tangible assets (non-GAAP), is calculated by excluding intangible assets and the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets from total assets (non-GAAP).

Tangible common shareholders’ equity ratios have become a focus of some investors and management believes they may assist investors in analyzing the capital position of the company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common shareholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common shareholders’ equity is not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in any amount by federal banking regulations it is currently considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it differently than Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of earnings that excludes selected items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders. Additionally, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and there is no certainty that we will not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in the calculations of non-GAAP financial measures presented herein.

Management and the Board of Directors utilize non-GAAP measures as follows:

  • Preparation of Regions’ operating budgets

  • Monthly financial performance reporting

  • Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results (management only)

  • Presentation to investors of company performance

  • Metrics for incentive compensation

See the company’s Financial Supplement, included as Exhibit 99.2 to the company’s Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2026, for reconciliations of and additional information regarding the company’s non-GAAP financial measures.

MBT Easy T® Kit – Bruker’s consumables kit providing ready‑to‑use solvents and sample applicators for streamlined sample preparation in MALDI Biotyper®‑based microbial identification

MBT Easy T® Kit – Bruker’s consumables kit providing ready‑to‑use solvents and sample applicators for streamlined sample preparation in MALDI Biotyper®‑based microbial identification

MALDI Biotyper® Workflow and Identification Enhancements

To further streamline routine MALDI‑TOF workflows, Bruker introduces the proprietary MBT Easy T® Kit (RUO and IVDR), a consumables kit designed to simplify and standardize sample transfer steps to MALDI target plates. The kit includes ready-to-use reagents and applicators, supporting up to 2,000 samples, while enabling room temperature storage and reducing chemical waste.

In parallel, Bruker expands its MALDI Biotyper® reference libraries to more than 5,300 species, including bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, and mycobacteria (RUO). The latest library updates add more than 600 new species and significantly strengthen species coverage, particularly for the dedicated filamentous fungi MyT workflow which benefits from ~30% stronger species coverage. Corresponding IVDR‑registered library expansions are currently in progress.

To extend access to specialized identification content beyond local installations, Bruker is offering early access to a cloud‑based MALDI identification solution (RUO) for selected key opinion leaders and expert laboratories. This approach enables research use identification using specialist libraries curated by domain experts, within the MBT Compass HT environment. Initial expert libraries include yeast collections, anaerobic bacteria libraries developed by academic partners, and mosquito libraries supporting malaria vector monitoring and research. The cloud infrastructure allows visibility of library provenance and provides a foundation for future capabilities such as exclusive libraries, online system monitoring, and software updates.

Bruker continues to advance automation across sample preparation workflows with MBT PrepMatic™ and MBT SepsiMatic® systems, both currently under evaluation in IVDR-compliant clinical validation studies. MBT PrepMatic™ is designed to enable semi‑ to fully automated colony picking from Petri dish cultures and preparation of MALDI target plates. MBT SepsiMatic® is designed to support a fully automated workflow from positive blood culture bottles to prepared MALDI target plates, with the potential to produce purified samples containing viable cells for downstream analysis.

Advanced Clinical and Research Applications

Bruker is progressing multiple advanced applications for MALDI‑based microbiology. In the United States, clinical studies are underway to support upcoming claims for mycobacteria and filamentous fungi identification, with FDA submissions planned for 2026.

Clinical validation studies are underway on rapid phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using MALDI‑TOF MS, aimed at enabling same‑day results from positive blood cultures and agar colonies for Enterobacteriaceae. This approach explores the use of machine‑learning‑based growth assessment and aligns conceptually with CLSI‑ and EUCAST‑guided broth microdilution principles.

At ESCMID Global 2026, Bruker is also presenting poster data from exploratory research on AI‑driven antibiotic resistance prediction for Staphylococcus aureus, with AUROC >0.8, based on more than 2,600 MALDI Biotyper® spectra (RUO). Further studies with expanded scope are ongoing.

Hospital Hygiene and Outbreak Management

In the area of hospital hygiene and epidemiology, Bruker expands IR Biotyper® applications (GP) with IR Tracker for surveillance of hospital‑acquired infections (HAIs) and new classifiers for clinically and epidemiologically significant organisms. Newly supported targets include Salmonella Typhi, Shiga toxin‑producing E. coli (STEC), and Shigella species – pathogens associated with specific treatment requirements, high infectivity, and public health reporting obligations. These enhancements support rapid differentiation and classification to aid outbreak detection and infection control efforts.

Reflex NGS and Culture‑Independent Diagnostics

Bruker introduces a new software version of its MBioSEQ™ Ridom Typer (RUO), featuring short and long read whole genome sequencing (WGS) data analysis for research and expert laboratory applications. The software now includes TB-Profiler-based antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determination and GAMBIT bacterial species identification, supporting MALDI / IR Biotyper®-triggered WGS reflex workflows as part of laboratory‑defined analysis processes.

In addition, Bruker announces the integration of Molzym following its acquisition in late 2025, further strengthening the company’s Microbiology & Infection Diagnostics portfolio. Molzym brings expertise in culture‑independent pathogen diagnostics, including its unique and patented MolYsis™ host‑DNA depletion technology, which selectively removes host DNA to enable highly sensitive detection of microbial DNA in low‑biomass and blood samples for subsequent sequencing analysis.

“In routine MALDI‑TOF identification, having critical reagents readily available in a standardized format is essential,” said Kirsten Schönfeld, Diplom-Biologin, Institut Dr. Nowak GmbH, Germany. “The MBT Easy T® Kit provides pre‑filled, ready‑to‑use solvent ampoules, including formic acid, which will simplify logistics and daily laboratory operations. This helps maintain a robust and streamlined MALDI Biotyper workflow in a clinical setting.”

Dr. Wolfgang Pusch, President of Bruker’s Microbiology & Infection Diagnostics Division, added: “Feedback like this underscores why we continue to invest in practical innovations that strengthen everyday laboratory workflows. Across microbial identification and outbreak analysis, Bruker is pursuing a broad and sustained innovation initiative – significantly expanding our reference libraries, introducing new sample preparation options to enable the highest level of standardization, and advancing exploratory artificial‑intelligence‑based approaches for antibiotic resistance prediction from MALDI spectra. In parallel, we are driving the development of automation for sample preparation from both colonies and positive blood cultures, initiating clinical studies for MALDI Biotyper®‑based rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and further expanding the analytical capabilities of the IR Biotyper®. At the same time, we continue to refine our NGS‑based MBioSEQ™ Ridom Typer , including ongoing, research‑use‑focused enhancements for tuberculosis antimicrobial resistance profiling.”

(TSX: FVI) (NYSE: FSM) (“Fortuna” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the renewal of its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase up to five percent of its outstanding common shares as at April 10, 2026.

An aggregate of up to 15,227,869 common shares, representing five percent of the Company’s outstanding 304,557,387 common shares as of April 10, 2026, have been authorized for repurchase commencing on May 4, 2026. The timing, number and value of any common shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including current market price, general business and market conditions and applicable legal requirements.

Under the NCIB, repurchases can be made from time to time through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, as well as by any other means permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and subject to other applicable legal requirements.

Any common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. The NCIB starts on May 4, 2026 and will expire on the earlier of:

  • May 3, 2027; one calendar year after the renewal of the share repurchase program;
  • the date Fortuna acquires the maximum number of common shares allowable under the NCIB; or
  • the date on which Fortuna otherwise determines not to make any further repurchases under the NCIB.

In connection with the NCIB, Fortuna has entered into a share repurchase plan (“ISPP”) with a designated broker, which allows the broker to purchase common shares on behalf of Fortuna through the open market in accordance with instructions from Management, provided that Fortuna is not in possession of any material non-public information or subject to any black-out periods at such time.

Fortuna has also entered into an automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP”) with the same designated broker which allows the Company to repurchase common shares under the NCIB when it would ordinarily not be permitted to due to regulatory restrictions and customary blackout periods. Pursuant to the ASPP, Fortuna will provide instructions during non-blackout periods to its designated broker, which may not be varied or suspended during the blackout period. Purchases by Fortuna’s designated broker will be in accordance with applicable stock exchange rules and securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. All purchases made under the ASPP and ISPP are included in calculating the number of common shares purchased under the NCIB.

Fortuna believes that from time to time, its common shares trade at market prices that do not adequately reflect their underlying value. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, Fortuna’s Board of Directors believes that the repurchase of common shares for cancellation would represent an appropriate use of corporate funds.

The actual number of common shares to be purchased, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by Fortuna based on a number of factors, including Fortuna’s financial performance and flexibility within its financial guardrails, the availability of discretionary cash flow, and capital funding requirements. The ASPP and NCIB do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of common shares, and the ASPP may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

The NCIB will be commenced pursuant to the exemption available under section 4.8(3) of National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids, and effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which limits daily purchases of common shares on the NYSE to no more than 25 percent of the previous 4-week average daily trading volume on the NYSE.

Fortuna’s prior NCIB for the purchase of up to 15,347,999 common shares will expire on May 1, 2026. As of April 16, 2026, Fortuna had repurchased an aggregate of 3,400,000 common shares on the open market through the facilities of the NYSE at a weighted-average price of US$9.53 per common share, excluding brokerage fees. The repurchased common shares were subsequently cancelled.

CoStar Data Shows Aire Park Driving New Rental Highs in Leeds

While the traditional City Core remained Leeds’s dominant office location, its share of headline leasing activity fell from a five-year average of around 80% to 60% in 2025.

“A growing number of professional and financial services firms have been drawn to the East Quarter’s Aire Park for its new-build specifications, strong ESG credentials and proximity to the city centre,” said Giles Tebbitts, director of market analytics at CoStar Europe. “As the scheme matures, it has attracted an expanding roster of high-profile occupiers.”

Despite East Quarter accounting for more than 30% of leasing activity across the Leeds Central Business District (CBD) in 2025, most transactions were mid-sized lettings at Aire Park. The City Core continued to dominate smaller deals below 15,000 sq. ft., representing 81% of CBD activity.

“The CBD vacancy rate has been broadly stable at around 12% over the past three years, but up from a cyclical low of 6% in 2020,” said Tebbitts. “The withdrawal of older, obsolete stock has offset limited completions at Aire Park, keeping net absorption relatively flat in recent quarters.”
