Johan Buijs, CEO of NSI:

"The first quarter of 2013 shows the second consecutive quarter of an occupancy rate improvement in the Dutch office portfolio, which is expected to improve further over the year. Our proactive and integral approach are fundamental in this. Thanks to the ongoing and active dialogue with our tenants and the cooperation between our commercial and technical teams, we are able to propose new and existing tenants a compelling offer. With this approach, NSI again significantly outperformed the market in terms of take up and was NSI the fourth player in the market, measured by the volume of leasing transactions in square meters, in 2012. The retail portfolio showed a rather stable development, taking into account the sale of two nearly fully let retail centers, despite the challenging retail climate.

As previously announced, NSI is strongly committed to reduce its LtV to below 55%. The AGMs approval of the dividend policy for a sustainable dividend is an important step in this respect."

Operational highlights

Outlook 2013

The economic environment remains challenging in 2013. The macro-economic indicators are pointing towards negative economic growth in the Netherlands in 2013, and no recovery until 2014. In this environment, the distinctive and operationally strong approach of NSIs remains, even more, crucial.

In 2013, NSI will specifically focus on:

Organisation

• NSI expands its Board of Management with a COO to further strengthen its active and innovative management of the portfolio, in line with its strategic focus on operational excellence and creating a 'best in class' leasing platform. NSI announced its intention to appoint Mark Siezen as COO as per 1 July 2013, subject to a yet to convene Extraordinary General Meeting.

Offices:

  • Further improvement of the occupancy in the office portfolio over the year in 2013. As a result of proactive management of the expiration calendar in the previous years, only 11% (in value) of the contracts can expire in 2013, which will support the improvement of the occupancy level.
  • Further roll out of the HNK concept. NSI has commenced the conversion of two assets; in Utrecht and in Hoofddorp, to be finalized in autumn 2013. The planned investment is approx. €2.3million.
  • Through different business concepts and propositions, NSI aims to sustain the effective rent level, or even increase its effective rent level by providing additional services and flexibility, like in the HNK concept.

Retail:

• NSI will continue to actively pursue the right mix in branches, including a further increase of the presence of supermarkets.

Strategic focus:

• NSI will continue its disposal strategy of non-core assets and assets of which the value potential under NSI's management has been optimised. The sale of the last Swiss asset is in progress. Proceeds of asset sales will be used to strengthen the balance sheet.

Financing:

  • NSI continues to work diligently on its refinancing requirements, including refinancing €186.3 million of debt that will expire in 2013. NSIs largest syndicated loan facility (€243 million outstanding debt), maturing in 2013 and 2014 and reflecting the majority of the debt maturing in 2013, is in an advanced stage of negotiation. In general, bank margins and financings costs are increasing which will translate into higher financing costs in 2013 compared to 2012.
  • NSI is highly committed to reduce its LtV to below 55%

NSI expects for 2013 that the occupancy will continue to improve over the year, which will however not directly translate into higher financial results. Moreover, NSI will face higher financing costs and outflow of rental income of assets sold. As previously announced, NSI expects a direct result for the full year 2013 in the range of €50 to €56 million

Financial report

Total investment result

The total investment result, consisting of the sum of the direct and indirect investment results amounted to -€21.2 million in Q1 2013 (Q42012: -€27.3 million, Q1 2012: -€17.1 million).

Direct investment result

NSI uses the direct investment result (rental income less operating costs, service costs not recharged, administrative costs and financing costs) as a measure for the performance of its core business and for determining its dividend.

The direct investment result amounted to €13.4 million in Q1 2013 (Q4 2012: €15.0 million Q1 2012: €16.2 million). Gross rental income in Q1 2013 amounted to €37.1 million compared with €40.3 million in Q4 2012 (Q1 2012: €41.5 million), mainly as a result of loss of gross rental income of disposed assets and the one-off income of €2.0 million in Q4 2012.

The occupancy rate of the total portfolio increased to 81.3% on 31 March 2013 compared to 81.1 % on 31 December 2012 (31 March 2012: 82.2%). The occupancy in the Dutch office portfolio continued to improve from 71.3% to 72.1% (31 March 2012: 73.4%). The occupancy level of the retail portfolio decreased from 92.5% as per 31 December 2012 to 92.0% on 31 March 2013 (31 March 2012: 95.1%), partly due to the disposal of two (nearly) fully let shopping centres.

Leasing activities

Offices NL

The second consecutive quarter of improving occupancy in the Dutch office portfolio demonstrates that the occupancy level is gradually bottoming out. The expiration calendar, in which 11% of the contracts in the Dutch office portfolio could expire in the remaining months of 2013 compared to the annualized 2012 level of 23%, supports this.

The table below shows the development of occupancy in square meters. In financial reporting, NSI reports the financial occupancy, which improved from 71.3% at year end 2012 to 72.1% as per 31 March 2013.

sqm % sqm sqm sqm % sqm
434,639 68% 18,131 21,868 429,096 68% 627,512

Leased in period (table above) are leases that came into effect in Q1 2013.

New lettings are leases that have been signed in Q1 2013. NSI signed 7.570 sqm of new lettings (take up) in its Dutch office portfolio in the first quarter of 2013, representing approximately 3% of the total uptake in the Dutch office market. NSI's portfolio represents 1.3% of this market, indicating that NSI has outperformed the market.

Recent transactions include a lease agreement with ForeyeT for approx. 860 sqm office/ 1,100 sqm industrial space in Capelle aan den IJssel and with Ziut for approx. 2,300 office sqm/ 600 sqm industrial space.

Furthermore, NSI has let the premises where its own organisation is currently located (1,000 sqm in Hoofddorp) to a new tenant (BuyitDirect.com). Hoofddorp is an area with high vacancy levels. This transaction shows that NSI is capable of creating office locations that are eminently lettable, due to having the right market and product knowledge in place. NSI plans to relocate to another property in its portfolio in order to add value in a similar way.

Furthermore, NSI continued its focus on (proactively) renewing contracts. The proactive approach and continuous dialogue with tenants create a more balanced negotiation momentum and a well spread expiration calendar.

NSI renewed leases concerning 38,915 sqm in the first quarter of 2013. In 2012, NSI ranked fourth in the Dutch office market, measured on total volume leasing transactions in sqm.

Retention:

Expiry sqm Q1 2013 Renewed sqm Retention
50,021 38,915 78%

The retention rate (78%) increased significantly compared with 2012 (47%), reflecting NSI's ability to anticipate tenants' needs and enhanced control over the former VNOI portfolio. In addition, the retention rate in 2012 was impacted by the expiration of a number of large contracts.

The effective rent level of new leases, taking incentives into account, amounted to €104 per sqm in the first quarter of 2013 (2012; €120 per sqm), which does not indicate a trend as the average level of new leases in a quarter varies as a result of type of contract, property and region. The first quarter included two relatively large transactions in outer regions (in cities Heerlen and Deventer).

The average effective rent level over the total office portfolio amounted to €146 per sqm (2012: €148 per sqm). The average lease duration of the portfolio was 3.8 years as per 31 March 2013.

Retail NL

The occupancy of the retail portfolio decreased to 92.0% compared to 92.5% as per 31 December 2012, partly due to the disposal of two (nearly) fully let shopping centres Mereveldplein (97%) and Rozemarijndonk (100%).

The table below shows the development of occupancy in square meters. In financial reporting, NSI reports the financial occupancy.

Expiry sqm Q1 2013 Renewed sqm Retention
20,768 15,699 76%

The retention rate remained stable at 76%.

The retail portfolio is characterized by a strong mix with a approx. 22% share of supermarkets. Supermarkets are generally less sensitive to economic circumstances, which could also be noticed in the first quarter of 2013.

Take up in the retail portfolio in Q1 2013 consisted of a number smaller transactions. Renewals included contracts with a number of supermarkets.

The average effective rent level over the total portfolio amounted to €152 per sqm (2012: €153 per sqm).

The average lease duration of the retail portfolio was 3.6 as per 31 March 2013.

Belgium

The occupancy of the Belgian portfolio slightly decreased from 86% to 85% due to the sale of semi-industrial asset in Kortenberg (transfer in May).

The number of leasing transactions increased in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012.

NSI continued its focus on strict cost discipline. Operating costs amounted to €4,2 million in Q1 2013 (Q4 2012: €4.9 million; Q1 2012: €4.9 million). Letting costs were lower mainly due to one-off compensation fees paid by tenants in Belgium.

Administrative costs decreased to €1.5 million (Q4 2012: €1.9 million, Q1 2012: 1.8 million). NSI has structurally reduced the administrative costs; in the quarterly comparison Q4 2012 involved a number of non-recurring costs (approx. €0.4 million).

Financing costs decreased in Q1 2013 to €14.0 million from €14.5 in Q4 2012 (Q1 2012: €14.0 million), despite higher margins and financing costs, offset by lower Euribor rates and hedging costs and a reduction in outstanding loans (€43 million).

Indirect investment result

The indirect investment result amounted to €34.6 million negative (Q4 2012: -€42.2 million, Q1 2012: -€32.8 million). The indirect investment result consists of both realized revaluations (sales results on investments sold) and unrealized revaluations. These unrealized revaluations concern the changes in the market value of the property portfolio (-€42.4 million) and the derivatives (€8.3 million).

The net result on sales on investments include 6 sold properties. Sold properties in the Netherlands include retail property Mereveldplein (including residential units located above) in de Meern, retail property Rozemarijndonk in Spijkenisse, office properties Oudezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam and Parklaan in Eindhoven and industrial property Archimedesbaan in Nieuwegein. On average, the Dutch properties were sold 2% below book value. In Belgium the semi-industrial property 'Guldendelle' in Kortenberg has been sold at 15% above book value (delivery scheduled end of May).

The negative value of derivatives decreased on balance due to continuing low interest swap rates in combination with a decreased maturity of the derivative instruments.

NSI utilizes interest-rate hedging instruments exclusively to limit operational interest rate risks. The nominal value of derivatives is lower than nominal values of interest-bearing debts. NSI is not exposed to margin calls. The value of the financial derivatives automatically reverts to zero at the end of the duration of these instruments.

The downward revaluation of the Dutch portfolio amounted to €40.7 million in Q1 2013 (Q4 2012-€32.5 million, Q1 2012: -€23.8 million). The downward revaluation in the Dutch office portfolio was €33.3 million. Despite stabilizing market rents and slightly improving occupancy rates, yields will remain under pressure due to valuation of vacancy and lack of transactions as market evidence. The Belgian and Dutch assets that have been sold, but not yet transferred, have been reclassified as held for sale. The value of the Belgian portfolio decreased by -€1.7 million (Q4: -€13.5 million).

Balance sheet and financing

The value of the real estate investments amounted to €2,039.7 million on 31 March 2013 (31 December 2012: €2,106.1 million). This is the result of the balance of investments, disposals and revaluations.

The loan-to-value decreased to 58.0% at 31 March 2013 (year end 2012: 58.2%). NSI is highly committed to reduce its LtV (loanto-value) to below 55% and will continue to reduce its LtV by disposing non-core assets.

Debts to credit institutions amounted to €1,183.2 million as per 31 March 2013 (year end 2012: €1,226.4 million), reflecting a €43 million debt repayment. NSI continues to work diligently on its refinancing requirements and improving its debt maturity. Approx. €186.3 million will expire in 2013. Part of the 2013 refinancing requirement (€258.5 million) was already covered in 2012 refinancing agreements. A €242 million syndicated loan facility, maturing in 2013 and 2014 and reflecting the majority of the debt maturing in 2013, is in an advanced stage of negotiation

Equity

NSI's equity decreased to €771.8 million (31 December 2012: €789.8 million) as the result of the negative total investment result in Q1 2013 of €21.2 million.

The number of outstanding shares remained unchanged in the first quarter. The net asset value, including deferred tax and the market value of the derivatives, amounted to €9.47 per share on 31 March 2013 (31 December 2012: €9.78). If the deferred tax and the value of the derivatives are excluded (the net asset value according to EPRA), the net asset value amounts to €10.52 per share (31 December 2012: €10.95).

Financial ratios

The funding available to the company under the credit facilities committed as at 31 March 2013 amounted to €84.0 million (31 December 2012: €71.3 million). NSI reduced it debts to credit institutions from €1,226.4 million as per 31 December 2012 to €1,183.2 million as per 31 March 2013.

The average remaining maturity of the loans decreased from 2.3 years as per ultim0 2012 to 2.1 years as per 31 March 2013. The variable interest part or the mortgaged loans decreased from 4.5% (ultimo 2012) to 3.1% as per 31 March 2013.

Due to a higher awareness of financing partners in relation to real estate related risks, in combination with the overall economic situation and changing regulations (Basel III/ Solvency II), NSI notes a general decreased availability of real estate financing in the market. Processes of refinancing take materially longer to complete. Margins and costs have been rising substantially since the beginning of the crisis as a result of before-mentioned trends. Loan covenants tend to become more restrictive and are more diligently monitored to the effects of real estate valuations, property sales and development in vacancy rates.

Average costs of debt funding increased from 4.8% (ultimo 2012)to 5.0%, mainly due to the refinancing of low interest loans at higher margins that come into effect. This is based on the current – increased- interest margins by quarter end, which does not reflect the average interest margin for the period. As a result of reduction in outstanding debt, the total financing costs decreased. The interest coverage ratio amounted to 2.3 as per 31 March 2013 (ultimo 2012: 2.5)

Interim-dividend Q1 2013

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, held on 26 April 2013, adopted the new dividend policy. In line with this new dividend policy, the Q1 interim dividend amounts to €0.10 per share in cash, which reflects a pay out of 50% of the direct result, in accordance with the defined pay out at the current LtV level (58.0%)

Developments in the portfolio

The value of the real estate portfolio decreased in the first quarter of 2013 by €66.4 million to €2,039.7 million, from €2,106.1 million at year-end 2012. This decrease is the result of revaluations of - €42.4 million, sales of €26.1 million, investments of €2.5 million and exchange-rate differences of -€0.4 million.

Sold properties in Q1 2013 include retail property Mereveldplein (including residential units located above) in de Meern, retail property Rozemarijndonk in Spijkenisse, office properties Oudezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam and Parklaan in Eindhoven and industrial property Archimedesbaan in Nieuwegein. The Swiss retail center HertiZentrum and the semiindustrial properties in Antwerp and Kortenberg (Belgium) have been sold and will be transferred by mid April and the end of May respectively.

NSI continues its efforts to divest non strategic assets and assets of which the value potential under NSI's management has been optimised. The market for real estate transactions remains sluggish and transactions take longer to complete.

Notes to the figures for the first quarter 2013

1. Most important principles for valuation and determination of the result

The financial statements of NSI N.V. for the first quarter of 2013 were drawn up in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS, as approved within the European Union. This report on the first quarter of 2013 has been drawn up in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

For the most important principles for consolidation, valuation and determination of the result applied in this report, please refer to the published 2012 financial statements (see www.nsi.nl). The consolidated figures are drawn up on the basis of historical cost, except for property investments and financial derivatives, which are recognised at fair value. Unless stated otherwise, the figures are presented in thousands of euros rounded to the nearest thousand.

This report on the first quarter of 2013 was approved by the Management Board and Supervisory Board on 14 May 2013.

The compilation of this interim report in accordance with IFRS requires that the Management Board forms opinions, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the reported figures for assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and the related assumptions are based on experience and various other factors that are considered appropriate. The estimates and underlying assumptions are continually assessed. Revisions to estimates are wholly included in the period in which the revision is made, if the effect only applies to that period, or in the period in which the revision is made and future periods, if the effect also applies to future periods.

Review report To: the General Meeting of shareholders of NSI N.V.

Introduction

We have reviewed the on page 16 to 25 the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information of NSI N.V., Hoofddorp (statutory seat Hoorn), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2013, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of movements in shareholders' equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2013, and the notes. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope

We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law including standard 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 31 March 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
