Rabobank Hoorn nr. 16.14.17.272

Highlights

  • increase in direct result of 2.3%
  • increase in net rental income of 3.5% (Q2 compared to Q1 2009)
  • like-for-like growth of 0.6%
  • Loan-to-value falls to 54.7%

Hoorn - Q2 is charactarised by good operational results. Net rental income rose 3.5% compared to Q1 and 2.6% compared to the first six months of 2008. The direct result over the first half year of 2009 rose 2.3% to €25.5m, due to higher rental income and lower interest costs. Despite a fall in the occupancy rate, positive like-for-like growth of 0.6% on average was realised in all sectors.

Due to sales in the context of the divestment programme, and the share issue on 2 June 2009, the loan-to-value ratio fell further in Q2, from 57.0% to 54.7%, despite a slight decline in the valuation of the real estate. The effect of the sales on the loan-to-value was 0.2%, and the effect of the share issue came to 2.8%

Johan Buijs, CEO of Nieuwe Steen Investments, in response to the figures:

"We are pleased to be able to achieve a higher net rental income and a higher direct result than in Q1 2009, despite the difficult economic circumstances and the sales we have executed. This confirms that our portfolio and our tenants are sound, and that we are capable of generating higher rental income in difficult times.

The divestment programme initiated in September 2008 and the share issue placed on 2 June 2009 have strengthened our capital position, so that we are better able to withstand any further deterioration in the economy. We are also now in a position to take advantage of lower real estate values in due course."

Financial results

Direct result

The direct investment result of €25.5m in H1 2009 was 2.3% higher than in H1 2008 (€24.9m). Net rental income in H1 2009 rose in comparison to H1 2008 by €1.1m to €45.0m. The increase was due to purchases and organic growth. Net rental income in Q2 2009 was also higher than in Q1.

Exploitation costs in H1 2009 rose by €1.7m compared to H1 2008. Non-recharged service costs increased due to the rise in vacancy, especially in the offices portfolio. This was due to higher maintenance costs (€0.6m) and the change in allocation of the property management costs since the end of 2008, the costs of property management have been set at 3% of the rental income and allocated to the exploitation costs.

Balance-sheet ratios and finance

Total assets fell from €1,429m at end 2008 to €1,361m as of end 30 June 2009.

As a result of the divestment programme and the proceeds of the share issue, debts to credit institutions stand at €734.0m. The loan-to-value decreased to 54.7% as of 30 June 2009, compared to 57.2% at end 2008 and 57.0% on 31 March 2009. The decrease of the loan-to-value is the net effect of the downward property revaluations as mentioned above, the redemption of loans due to property sales and the proceeds of the share issue.

Tel: 0229 29 50 50 Interim dividend Q2 2009

Fax: 0229 23 13 72 E-mail: [email protected] Rabobank Hoorn The new shares issued during Q2 2009 are fully entitled to the dividend. For the first half of 2009 an interim dividend charged to profit will be distributed of €0.68 per share in cash, of which €0.35 has already been distributed as interim dividend for Q1. The interim dividend distributed for Q2 is therefore €0.33. The decline in the interim dividend in Q2 is entirely due to the share issue, whereby the direct result has to be divided by a greater number of shares.

K.v.k. te Hoorn Nieuwe Steen Investments shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 14 August 2009 and the dividend for Q2 2009 will be made payable on 21 August 2009.

Outlook 2009

Nieuwe Steen 27 Postbus 4145 Nieuwe Steen Investments expects that, in the absence of extraordinary economic developments, the direct investment result to amount to between €1.30 and €1.36 per average outstanding share.

1620 HC Hoorn Tel: 0229 29 50 50 Fax: 0229 23 13 72 On the basis of the expiration calendar, the occupancy rate will remain above 90%. In view of the volatility of interest rates, no concrete forecast regarding the development of the value of the interestrate hedging instruments can be made. No forecast can therefore be given with regard to the company's indirect result.

Rabobank Hoorn The search for a new financial director is ongoing. The company hopes to be able to present an appointment in September or October.

K.v.k. te Hoorn nr. 36.040.044 Regarding operational activities, the emphasis will be on re-letting. Nieuwe Steen Investments will also focus on the potential for (re)development within the existing portfolio, continuing to build the company's organisation and building its own management organisation in Switzerland. The company's first Swiss employee, a portfolio manager, will take up her position with office in Zurich as of 1 August.

A new management information system is being implemented since 1 May 2009 to enable the company to acquire a better view of the operational activities. It is expected that his system will be operational as of mid August 2009.

The divestment programme of smaller properties (under €5m) will continue.
