Hoofddorp, 10 February 2022 – Vastned, the listed European retail property company, has reported positive results despite the impact of COVID-related lockdowns and restrictions in 2021. Vastned reports a direct result for 2021 of € 1.93 per share, which is higher than the € 1.85 per share reported over 2020. The collection rate has improved to 95.7%. Furthermore, the occupancy rate improved to 97.9% and is back to pre-COVID levels. The value of the property portfolio decreased by 1.6%1 during 2021. In H2 2021, the value of the total portfolio increased by 0.2% compared to the end of H1 2021, providing a first indication that the total value of the property portfolio stabilised in the second half of the year. In 2021, Vastned made good progress with its strategy, improving the tenant mix with an increased focus on digital retailers and creating more mixed-use spaces by adding residential units and small offices above shops. Vastned's exposure to fashion retail tenants decreased to 46% from 48% in 2020. In 2021, Vastned disposed non-strategic assets for a total amount of € 18.2 million, 3.9% above book value. Given the unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the possibility of new variants, many of Vastned's tenants face an uncertain commercial and financial outlook over the coming year. As such, Vastned is not providing forecasts or guidance on the direct result for the 2022 full year at this stage.

Reinier Walta, Vastned CEO: "A direct result per share of € 1.93, a collection rate of 95.7% and an occupancy rate at 97.9% are all indicators of positive performance, especially in the context of the temporary lockdowns and other COVID-19 control measures during the year. The value of our total property portfolio declined only marginally, by 1.6%1, and the value even increased in H2 2021, demonstrating the quality and resilience of both our portfolio and our tenant's businesses.

2021 was the year in which Vastned began implementing its revised strategy, which calls for an increase in the mixed use of our properties and the diversification of the tenant base. Our approach involves working with more digital brands and other strong brands that are seeking to lease attractive, distinctive properties in prime locations within winning cities. We made good progress executing this strategy, in particular with respect to optimising and concentrating the portfolio and achieving an efficient organisation. COVID-19 unfortunately also impacted our business in 2021, and although it remains challenging, we are pleased with our regular and constructive discussions with our tenants and other stakeholders. Together, we were able to successfully navigate these uncertain times."

Strategy execution

The retail landscape is changing, as Vastned has been indicating for some time, and the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 has accelerated this development. In line with its strategy, which was updated in February 2021, Vastned is concentrating its unique portfolio of high street retail and inner-city mixed-use properties within winning cities. Vastned is also improving its retail tenant mix by adding tenants with strong digital brands and retailers that prioritise phygital (the combination of physical and digital) and 'buy online pick up in store' solutions (JD Sports, Sézane, Nespresso, Rituals, MyJewellery, Coolblue, Bolia, MyCosmetik and Moss Copenhagen) but also strong (sub)urban brands (Heytens Décor) seeking a high street presence as well as supermarkets looking for smaller inner-city stores or pedestrian drives. Furthermore, Vastned will continue to look to create more mixed-use properties by adding residential units and small offices and realising potential redevelopment opportunities. Vastned's exposure to fashion retail as a percentage of rental income decreased from 48% in 2020 to 46% in 2021 (versus a long-term target of 30%). Vastned also made progress with its efficient organisation, reducing the number of FTEs from 37 to 32. The company's cost savings were significant in 2021 and amounted to € 0.9 million on a normalised basis, in line with the cost-saving target. The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio came in at 43.0% (2020: 43.0%). Vastned continues to work towards a long-term LTV ratio of less than 40%.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a core value for Vastned in creating long-term value for its stakeholders. There are three areas that need to be highlighted looking at Vastned's sustainability performance in 2021.

Preservation of cultural heritage:

Vastned continues to invest in properties situated in historic city centres and increasingly invests in improving the sustainability ratings of its properties, thereby contributing to the preservation, lifespan and attractiveness of the cultural heritage of historic city centres.

Increasing housing stock within historic city centres:

By converting empty spaces above shops into residential units, city centres are becoming livelier after closing time while housing stock increases. These investments also aim to improve the sustainability ratings of Vastned's properties. In 2021, Vastned realised 14 apartment renovations/developments, compared with 17 in total in 2020.

Green financing:

Under its Green Finance Framework, Vastned has a total of € 40 million Green Revolving Credit Facility ('Green RCF') commitments, of which € 10 million has been drawn.

Key parameters

The direct result per share in 2021 was € 1.93 compared with € 1.85 in 2020. The increase was caused by lower operating expenses, lower general expenses and lower financing costs, which compensated for slightly lower net rental income. The net rental income was negatively impacted by rent waivers of € 3.0 million (excluding VAT), however positively impacted by the € 0.5 million release of the provision for expected credit losses. The occupancy rate increased from 96.5% in 2020 to 97.9% in 2021. This also represents an increase compared with the most recent occupancy rate of 97.6% reported for Q3 2021.

COVID-19 impact

During the first half of 2021, the portfolio was significantly impacted in the Netherlands due to the long lockdown period and the restrictions on non-essential retail locations, restaurants and bars. From 5 June 2021 onwards, retailers were allowed to receive customers again without appointments, and on 26 June most COVID-related restrictions were lifted for retailers. On 19 December, new lockdown measures were introduced in the Netherlands and non-essential stores were closed as well as bars and restaurants. Vastned's other geographies suffered less from restrictions, despite the rapid increase in Omicron infections during the final weeks of 2021 and into 2022.

The table below shows the rent arrangements made in 2021 and the impact of arrangements that were made in 2021 but related to 2020. In the portfolio in the Netherlands, Vastned waived € 1.9 million in rent over 2021, including € 0.2 million in rent that was waived over 2020. In Belgium and France, government measures were more lenient towards retailers compared with the Netherlands and typically involved temporary curfews and the closure of non-essential stores. In France, € 0.3 million of the waivers in rent related to 2021 and € 0.2 million related to 2020, amounting to a total of € 0.5 million recorded in 2021. In Belgium, almost all waivers agreed in 2021 were related to the 2020 period.

Spain < 0.1 < 0.1 < 0.1
Total 2.1 1.0 3.1

1) Including acquisitions and divestments

2) Excluding VAT

Part of the total value of the waivers in 2021 concerns 2020 rent (€ 1.0 million of the total € 3.1 million). These waivers are accounted for (as negative rent) in 2021, and most of these amounts were provided for in 2020 by means of the provision for expected credit losses. These provisions have been released in 2021 and therefore, the waivers did not have a significant effect on the 2021 results.

In 2021, Vastned continued to discuss and agree tailored arrangements with affected tenants. The payment arrangements include tenants paying in monthly rather than quarterly instalments, paying in arrears instead of in advance, deferred payment of the entire rent or part thereof, and partial rent waivers. Furthermore, new agreements were reached with tenants on contract extensions, removal of break options or future rent increases.

The arrangements made with tenants have the following implications for the 2021 result:

  • € 3.1 million in rent waivers in total in 2021, excluding VAT, with € 2.1 million related to waivers in 2021 and € 1.0 million related to 2020. This has been deducted directly and fully from the gross rental income in 2021.
  • In total, Vastned released € 0.5 million of the provision for expected credit losses in 2021.

The account balance 'debtors and other receivables' decreased to € 11.1 million as at 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: € 17.3 million). Of this amount, € 7.1 million is related to rent invoiced in advance for Q1 2022.

The rent collection rate for 2021 was 95.7% as at 31 December 2021. This was calculated as follows: all amounts received were divided by all amounts invoiced for 2021 (including rent, service charges and deposits). The waivers and the deferred amounts were not deducted from the amounts invoiced in this calculation.

Since the lifting of lockdowns in the Vastned countries in the first half of 2021, Vastned has observed significantly improved footfall on the high street. However, the number of tourists visiting historic city centres has yet to return to previous levels and a full recovery is expected to take time to materialise.

NOTES TO THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

Occupancy rate

Vastned considers its high overall occupancy rate as evidence of the quality and attractiveness of its property portfolio. At yearend 2021, the occupancy rate of the total portfolio was 97.9%. Compared with 31 December 2020, the occupancy rate in the Netherlands increased due to new leases finalised in 2021 with Doppelgänger on the Wolfstraat 29 in Maastricht and Samsung on the Eindstraat 14-16 in Breda. In France, the decrease in the occupancy rate was mainly due to the departure of Sandro on the Rue des Archives 21 in Paris. In Belgium, the occupancy rate increased due to new leases finalized with Footlocker on the Elsenesteenweg 41 in Brussels, Slaap advies on the Boomsesteenweg 666-672 in Wilrijk and Lab 9 Stores on the Galerie Jardin d'Harscamp in Namur. The portfolio in Spain remained fully let.

Leasing activity

In 2021, Vastned concluded 92 leases for a total annual amount of € 12.4 million, or 17.4% of the total theoretical annual gross rental income. In 2020, in comparison, Vastned concluded 71 leases for a total annual amount of € 9.6 million, or 12.9% of the total theoretical annual gross rental income. In the Netherlands, Vastned concluded new leases with multiple tenants. For example, new leases were concluded with Samsung in Breda, Jumbo in Joure and Doorwerth, My Jewellery in Arnhem and Mano Bowls in Amsterdam. Vastned also renewed leases with Schaap en Citroen, Mulberry, Stone Island, A.S. Watson, Massimo Dutti and McDonald's. In France, new leases were concluded with Une Bulle in Paris, Falconeri, Desigual and My Cosmetik in Bordeaux, and Bolia, Sinéquanone and Hero Seven in Lille. Vastned also renewed leases with BA&SH and Palais des Thés. In Belgium, new leases were concluded with Coolblue and Sleepworld in Wilrijk, Footlocker in Brussels and My Jewellery in Mechelen. Vastned also renewed leases with Aldi, A.S. Watson, ICI Paris XL, JBC and Massimo Dutti. The 92 leases Vastned concluded resulted in a rent decrease of € 0.6 million (4.5%).

Like for like appraisal value

All properties in operation are appraised at least once per year by independently certified appraisers. As at 31 December 2021, 100% of the portfolio has been appraised. The COVID-19 outbreak continues to affect economies and real estate markets globally. Nevertheless, as at the valuation date, property markets are functioning again and, as per H2 2021, Vastned has observed a reversal of the downward valuation pattern Vastned observed since the beginning of 2019. In H2 2021, Vastned saw an upward valuation of the portfolios in the Netherlands, France and Spain of 0.4%, 0.8% and 0.1% respectively, compared with the values as per the end of H1 2021. In the same period, Vastned observed a decrease of 0.8% in Belgium. The H2 2021 valuations on the total portfolio were 0.2% positive.

The like-for-like appraisal value of the property portfolio excluding acquisitions and divestments as at the end of December 2021 fell by 1.6% compared with year-end 2020. The value decreases of the portfolios in the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain were 2.4%, 2.9% and 1.8%, respectively. The French portfolio increased by 0.7% compared with year-end 2020.

In the Netherlands, as of 1 January 2021, the transfer tax increased from 6% to 8% for commercial real estate and from 2% to 8% 1 for residential units. As at 31 December 2020, the old rates were used to convert the appraised 'purchasing costs payable by the vendor' to the 'purchasing costs payable by the buyer'. As per year-end 2020, the new transfer tax was indirectly incorporated by determining the yield of the appraisals (given that the rate change was already known in September 2020, it was subsumed in subsequent pricing). However, since H1 2021, the new rates have been used to convert the appraised 'purchasing costs payable by the vendor' to the 'purchasing costs payable by the buyer'. The exact effect of the transfer tax change on the appraisals as per HY 2021 cannot be assessed with full certainty, though it did have an impact on the valuations in the Netherlands.

As shown, the like-for-like growth of the gross rental income, including waivers, was € 0.4 million (0.7%) for the total property portfolio in 2021.

Acquisitions

No acquisitions were made in 2021.

Divestments

In 2021, Vastned sold € 17.5 million worth of properties. In 2020, € 11.0 million worth of properties were sold. These divestments caused the gross rental income in 2021 to fall by € 1.2 million compared with 2020.

Waivers in the context of COVID-19

As a result of COVID-19, an amount of € 2.1 million in rent arrears was waived in 2021 (2020: € 5.1 million).

Like-for-like gross rental growth

The like-for-like rental growth of the gross rental income in 2021 was € 2.7 million negative. The like-for-like gross rental growth in the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Spain was € 0.9 million negative, € 1.1 million negative, € 0.4 million negative and € 0.3 million negative respectively, as a result of a lower occupancy rate during 2021 and lease renewals with a rent decrease.

The like-for-like growth of the gross rental income, including waivers, was € 0.4 million (positive 0.7%) for the total property portfolio in 2021.

Operating expenses (including net service charge expenses)

The total operating expenses excluding the allocation to the provision for expected credit losses decreased from € 6.9 million in 2020 to € 6.5 million in 2021. Maintenance costs, net service charge expenses and expenses related to administrative and commercial management decreased by € 0.6 million in total. On the other hand, insurance costs and local taxes increased by € 0.2 million.

The allocation to the provision for expected credit losses decreased from € 1.5 million negative in 2020 to € 0.4 million positive in 2021 (release of provision). The (adjusted) movement in the provision for expected credit losses was almost entirely related to COVID-19.

The operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the gross rental income in 2021 was 11.1% (2020: 12.8%).

Value movements in property

The value movements in property in 2021 totalled € 26.5 million negative (2020: € 84.4 million negative). The value decreases in the Dutch, Belgian and Spanish property portfolios were € 17.7 million, € 10.3 million and € 1.3 million respectively. In France, the value of property increased by € 2.8 million.

Net result on divestments of property

In 2021, Vastned sold property (based on book value) totalling € 17.5 million. Of these divestments, the Spanish, Belgian, Dutch and French property portfolios accounted for € 7.4 million, € 5.8 million, € 4.2 million and € 0.1 million respectively. The net result on the divestments realised in 2021 after deduction of sales costs was € 0.2 million positive.

EXPENDITURE

Net financing costs

The net financing costs including value movements of financial derivatives decreased from € 15.2 million in 2020 to € 8.3 million in 2021. The development of the net financing costs is shown in more detail in the table below.

Development of net financing costs (€ million)

Net financing costs 2021 8.3
Decrease of negative value movements in financial derivatives (5.7)
Decrease on balance due to lower average interest rate and changes in
debt with fixed/floating interest rate and working capital
(0.8)
Decrease due to lower average interest-bearing debt (0.4)
financing costs 2020 15.2

The net financing costs decreased by € 0.4 million due to lower average interest-bearing debts resulting from divestments. Due to changes in the composition of the loan portfolio (in particular changes in debt of the ratio fixed/floating interest), the average interest rate fell by 11 basis points from 1.99% in 2020 to 1.88% in 2021, reducing the interest expenses by € 0.8 million. As a result of changes in the market interest rate, the value movements of the interest rate derivatives were € 3.6 million positive (2020: € 2.1 million negative).

PO BOX 2276 1100 CG Amsterdam

General expenses

General expenses were € 6.7 million in 2021 compared with € 7.4 million in 2020. Mainly as a result of a lower number of FTEs, personnel costs decreased by € 1.3 million in 2021. In addition, consultancy and accommodation costs decreased by € 0.2 million and € 0.1 million respectively. On the other hand, other general expenses increased by € 0.9 million, mainly as a result of a nonrecurring item during 2020 with regard to the decision by the Belgian tax authorities to refund Vastned Belgium NV's overpaid listing costs of € 0.8 million.

Current income tax expense

In 2021, income tax payable on the reporting period for the regularly taxed entities in the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain was € 0.6 million (2020: € 0.7 million).

Movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities

The movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities was € 1.1 million in 2021 (2020: € 4.9 million). The decrease in the provision for deferred tax in 2021 was mainly due to decreases in the value of assets in the Netherlands and Spain that are held by regularly taxed entities.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

As at 31 December 2021, Vastned realised a collection rate of 95.7% and had a total accounts receivable position of € 10.8 million (31 December 2020: € 12.4 million), of which € 1.9 million was provided for (31 December 2020: € 2.5 million). The total value of the accounts receivable, after deduction of the provision for expected credit losses, can be broken down according to the nature of the receivable as follows:

Accounts receivable and other
receivables (€ million, rounded)
Outstanding Provision
for expected
credit losses
Total
Accounts receivable unrelated to COVID-19 1.3 (1.0) 0.3
Accounts receivable related to COVID-19 1.9 (0.8) 1.1
Accounts receivable for which a deferment has been
granted in the context of COVID-19
0.4 (0.1) 0.3
Pre-invoiced rent 7.2 - 7.2
Other receivables <0.1 - <0.1
Total 10.8 (1.9) 8.9

Part of the total accounts receivable position are receivables overdue by more than one year that are fully provided for but cannot yet be written off in connection with bankruptcies that have not yet been fully settled. These are mostly accounts receivable that are unrelated to COVID-19.

FINANCING STRUCTURE

Vastned strives to maintain a conservative financing structure, with a long-term target of a loan-to-value ratio of less than 40% and good diversification of financing sources, e.g., by placing long-term bond loans with institutional investors (including through private placements).

Financing structure 31 December 2021 31 December 2020
Loan-to-value (%) 43.0 43.0
Solvency 1 (%) 55.1 55.2
Interest coverage ratio 4.8 4.3

1) Group equity plus deferred tax liabilities divided by the balance sheet total

As at 31 December 2021, Vastned's balance sheet showed a healthy financing structure with a loan-to-value ratio of 43.0% (year-end 2020: 43.0%) and a solvency ratio, being group equity plus deferred tax liabilities divided by the balance sheet total, of 55.1% (year-end 2020: 55.2%). The interest coverage ratio for the past 12 months was 4.8.

With a solvency ratio of 55.1% and an interest coverage ratio of 4.8, Vastned complies with the loan covenants. All financing agreements stipulate a 45.0% minimum solvency ratio and usually require a minimum 2.0 interest coverage ratio. Most financing agreements include a negative pledge clause, with a limited threshold for putting up security.

Loan portfolio as at 31 December 2021

(€ million) Fixed interest 2 Floating interest Total % of total
Long-term debt 444.9 168.1 613.0 99.5
Short-term debt - 3.3 3.3 0.5
Total 444.9 171.4 616.3 100.0
% of total 72.2 27.8 100.0

2) Interest rate derivatives taken into account

At the end of December 2021, 72.2% of the loan portfolio comprised fixed-interest loans as a result of the use of interest rate derivatives and fixed coupon private placements.

The share of non-bank loans was 34.9%, significantly above the internal target of 25%.

Taking the unused credit facilities of € 122.0 million as at 31 December 2021 into account, there is ample liquidity to fulfil shortterm payment obligations.

DEVELOPMENT OF NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

As a result of the combined direct and indirect result per share of € 0.84, the other movements of € 0.01, the 2020 final dividend distribution of € 1.73 per share and the 2021 interim dividend distribution of € 0.53 per share, the net asset value per share fell from € 42.98 at year-end 2020 to € 41.57 at year-end 2021.

The EPRA NRV per share as at 31 December 2021 was € 47.73 compared with € 48.60 at year-end 2020.

DIVIDEND PROPOSAL FOR 2021

The total dividend Vastned proposes to its shareholders accumulates to € 1.73 per share, representing a pay-out of 89.6% of the direct result of 2021. Following the interim dividend of € 0.53 per share paid in August 2021, the final dividend is proposed at € 1.20 per share. If this dividend proposal for 2021 is approved, the Vastned share is expected to quote ex-dividend on 20 April 2022, and the final dividend will be made payable on 6 May 2022.

OUTLOOK 2022

In 2022, the company will continue working hard to maintain high occupancy rates across its property portfolio, together with high collection rates. Given the unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of new variants, many of Vastned's tenants face an uncertain commercial and financial outlook over the coming year. As such, Vastned is not providing forecasts or guidance on the direct result for the 2022 full year at this stage.

CONFERENCE CALL

On 10 February 2022 at 14.00 CET, Vastned will present and comment on the 2021 full-year results in a webcast. The webcast call can be followed live on https://vastned.com/en/investor-relations/investor_relations.
