DEVELOPMENTS

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Repositioning of Boomerang Strassen shopping center

The retail site of 22,721 m², located Route d'Arlon in Strassen, will be partially redeveloped into a retail park that will, besides shops, also comprise a restaurant. This site will become the largest retail park in the Luxembourg periphery at the entrance of the city of Luxembourg, reason why this site was also subject to a rebranding and its name was changed into 'Boomerang Strassen shopping center'. The redevelopment is executed in 2 phases in order to take into account the interests of the current tenants Adler Mode, Bâtiself and Roller, the first phase being completed by the end of 2017.

Belgium

Redevelopment Motstraat 30 into co-working space based on "The Crescent"

In the course of the third quarter of 2016 the extension for half of the office space was signed with the current tenant for the office building located Motstraat 30 in Malines. In the course of the first quarter of 2017 additional contracts were concluded (see further). A part of the remaining office space will be equipped as a co-working space "De Mot", based on our business center concept 'The Crescent' in Anderlecht and Ghent. This project fits within the policy of renovation and redevelopment of buildings, permitting us to create value.

Current developments in Brussels CBD - Treesquare and Montoyer 63
The office buildings Treesquare and Montoyer 63, both located in the Brussels CBD, are entirely reconstructed in order to enhance these buildings' market positioning and make these more sustainable (BREEAM certified). The final goal is to hold a high-quality real estate portfolio with well located, agreeable working spaces that perform well at a technical level, are sustainable, and require less maintenance costs. The execution of the works evolves according to planning.

LEASES

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Besides a number of smaller lettings in the office buildings EBBC and Esch, a new rental contract could be concluded with the current tenant, for 1,410 m², expiring on 30/04/2026, for the office building Kennedy.
Different rental renewals and new rental contracts could also be concluded for the Knauf shopping centers in Schmiede and Pommerloch, maintaining the occupancy rate of both shopping centers at a high level.

Belgium

In addition to the conclusion of a number of new rental contracts for smaller to medium sized spaces, the renewal of the rental contract with the current tenant for 3,856 m² of offices (till 30/06/2024) could be concluded in Tour & Taxis Royal Depot.
For Motstraat Malines 750 m² of the remaining office space was already let at the end of the first quarter, which means that the new business center concept is well received.
For the retail part in the Brixton Business Park in Zaventem four rental contracts with current retailers could be extended for a period of 9 years (till 27/04/2027).

Austria

Finally, in the Frun® Park in Asten two rental extensions with retailers could be concluded till 09/2023.

  1. The real estate portfolio comprises the buildings in operation, the development projects, the assets held for sale, as well as the buildings presented as financial leasing under IFRS.
  2. Fair value: the investment value as defined by an independent real estate expert and of which the transfer rights have been deducted. The fair value is the accounting value under IFRS. The fair value of Retail Estates has been defined based on the share price on 31/03/2017.
  3. The investment value is the value as defined by an independent real estate expert and of which the transfer rights have not yet been deducted.
  4. Fair value and investment value estimated by real estate experts Cushman & Wakefield and Stadim (BeLux), SPG Intercity (Switzerland) and BAR (Austria).
  5. For the calculation of the rental yield and the occupancy rate only the buildings in operation are taken into account, excluding the projects and the assets held for sale.
  6. The occupancy rate has been calculated based on the estimated rental value.

At the end of Q1 2017 the consolidated direct real estate portfolio of Leasinvest Real Estate comprises 33 sites (including assets held for sale & development projects) with a total lettable surface of 449,885 m². The real estate portfolio is geographically spread across the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (49% of the portfolio), Belgium (42%), Switzerland (5%) and Austria (4%).

At the end of March 2017, the fair value of the direct real estate portfolio amounts to € 864.00 million compared to
€ 859.93 million end December 2016. This increase is mainly explained by the revaluation of the current development projects. The retail part of the real estate portfolio currently amounts to 48%, the offices part to 37% and the logistics part to 15%.

The fair value of the global real estate portfolio (including the participation in the BE-REIT (SIR/GVV) Retail Estates SA) amounts to € 936.4 million per end March 2017, compared to € 930.7 per year-end 2016.

At the end of 2016 three logistics buildings (Heesterveldweg in Tongres, Nijverheidsstraat in Wommelgem and Canal Logistics phase 1 near Brussels) were already reclassified from investment properties to assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5; in the course of the first quarter two logistics buildings (Prins Boudewijnlaan Kontich and Vierwinden Park in Zaventem) were additionally classified as assets held for sale.
Consequently, the rental yield of the real estate portfolio in operation (excluding projects and assets held for sale) based on the fair value decreased to 6.65% (compared to 6.78% end 2016), and based on the investment value to 6.53% (compared to 6.65% end 2016).

  1. Consolidated results period 01/01/2017 - 31/03/2017

The results of the first quarter of 2017 are in line with the outlook and reflect the current developments in the real estate portfolio.

The rental income over the past quarter remained stable at € 14.3 million (in comparison with € 14.2 million in Q1 2016) despite the increased temporary vacancy after the building Montoyer 63 became vacant (- € 0.4 million) and the extension of a number of rental contracts at amended conditions (Motstraat Malines and CFM Luxembourg). This decrease of the rental income was mainly compensated by the rental contribution of the Frun® Park Asten (+ € 0.7 million) over the past quarter. Like-for-like* the rental income has slightly decreased by € 257 K (- 1.9%), mainly in Belgium (-2.5%), as a consequence of the demolition and reconstruction of the building Montoyer 63, compensated by a limited increase of the rental income in Luxembourg (+0.5%) and Switzerland (+0.1%).

The gross rental yields of the real estate portfolio have slightly decreased in comparison with end 2016 and amount to 6.65% (6.78% end 2016) based on the fair value, and to 6.53% (6,65% end 2016) based on the investment value. This decrease is the consequence of the transfer of the buildings Prins Boudewijnlaan and Vierwinden Park to assets held for sale; these buildings are consequently left out of the calculation of the average rental yields. The occupancy rate has slightly decreased from 96.8% end 2016 to 95.6% in Q1 2017 by a limited increase of the rental surface that became vacant in the portfolio in operation.

The fair value of the real estate portfolio has slightly increased from € 859.9 million per end 2016 to € 864.0 million thanks to capital expenditure in the current redevelopment projects.

The property charges have slightly increased in accordance with the growth of the real estate portfolio from - € 2.4 million at the end of Q1 2016 to - € 2.6 million, mainly by higher vacancy costs in comparison with last year, following the vacancy of the building Montoyer 63 as a result of its demolition and reconstruction.

The result on the portfolio* at the end of March 2017 amounts to - € 1.1 million in comparison with - € 2.0 million end of Q1 2016 (€ +928 K).

The financial result amounts to - € 5.3 million at the end of Q1 2017 in comparison with - € 3.4 million for the same period of the previous financial year. The interest charges have slightly risen (from - € 3.2 million to - € 3.5 million) at a slightly decreased outstanding bank debt; the average cost of debt* consequently increases from 2.89% at the end of Q1 2016 to 2.92%. The changes in fair value of the financial instruments amount to - € 1.5 million, mainly as a consequence of a one-off recalculation of the negative carry forward of the foreign exchange component within the cross-currency swaps in favour of the interest component on these swaps.

The corporate taxes have dropped from - € 0.6 million to - € 0.2 million following the merger of the company Tour & Taxis Koninklijk Pakhuis SA with Leasinvest Real Estate.

The net result over Q1 2017 amounts to € 3.5 million compared to € 4.5 million at the end of Q1 2016. In terms of net result per share* this results in € 0.71 per share at the end of Q1 2017 compared to € 0.90 end of Q1 2016.

The EPRA Earnings* amount to € 6.1 million on 31 March 2017, compared to € 6.5 million on 31 March 2016. Per share, this corresponds to € 1.23 on 31 March 2017 compared to € 1.31 on 31 March 2016.

At the end of the first quarter of the financial year, shareholders' equity, group share (based on the fair value of the investment properties) stands at € 368.5 million (31/12/2016: € 356.4 million) as a consequence of the increased reserves by € 12.1 million. End March the net asset value per share amounts to € 74.6 compared to € 72.2 end December 2016. The EPRA net asset value per share* (excluding the influence of the fair value adjustments to financial instruments) also rises and amounts to € 83.7 per share per end of March 2017 compared to € 81.9 per share end December 2016.

At the end of March 2017 the debt ratio stands at 56.90% in comparison with 58.05% end 2016.

  1. Important events after the closing of the periode 01/01/2017- 31/03/2017
     

      4.1.  Mercator: acquisition of an office building in Luxembourg

On 03/05/2017, Leasinvest Immo Lux SA, Luxembourg subsidiary of Leasinvest Real Estate, acquired 100% of the shares of the company Mercator Sàrl, owner of the office building located route d'Arlon, no 110 - 112 in the City of Luxembourg.

The building held by that company comprises 8,641 m² of offices, spread across 5 floors and 104 parking spaces, and benefits from an excellent location in the capital of the Grand Duchy along the route d'Arlon, one of the main access roads to Luxembourg City.

The value of the building amounts to € 35 million, an amount in line with the fair value measured by our independent real estate expert. The gross rental yield based on total occupancy is estimated at 6.75%.

The building is currently let for 42% at an annual rental income of € 1.06 million.

The commercial management of this building will be directly operated by Leasinvest Immo Lux, its mission being to increase the occupancy rate and keep it at a high level in the long term.

This investment also aims at strengthening the geographical diversification of the portfolio towards Luxembourg.

      4.2.  Planned divestments of a number of logistics buildings in Belgium

After its successful geographical diversification towards the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg since 2006, further concretized by the acquisition of the retail buildings in 2014 in Switzerland and in Austria in 2016, a number of logistics / semi-industrial buildings located in Belgium, are no longer considered to be strategic, as already mentioned, and divesting opportunities were being sought after.

Vierwinden in Zaventem/Nossegem
At the beginning of April a sales agreement was signed relating to the remaining buildings located in the semi-industrial business park "Vierwinden" in Zaventem/Nossegem, with at total surface of 7,098 m². It is expected that the notarial deed for the sale will be signed mid-June 2017.

Prins Boudewijnlaan in Kontich
At the end of March an agreement was concluded subject to a number of conditions precedent, for the sale of the distribution center located Prins Boudewijnlaan 7 in Kontich. It is expected that the notarial deed for the sale will be potentially signed in the course of December 2017.

5. Outlook financial year 2017

As already mentioned in the annual financial report 2016 and except for extraordinary circumstances, the company expects to realize a lower net result and EPRA earnings in 2017 in comparison with 2016, taking into account the different divestments of logistics buildings planned in 2017 and from the point of view that, besides the aforementioned investment in Mercator, no additional compensating re-investments would concretize. Furthermore a temporary decrease in the rental income is taken into account, due to the total renovation of the buildings Treesquare and Montoyer 63 in Brussels. Notwithstanding this evolution, the company expects to maintain the dividend over 2017 at minimum the same level as that of 2016.
