Earnings per share

IFRS earnings per share

Earnings per share or EPS is a financial measure, which indicates KMC Properties' profitability. EPS is calculated as profit divided by the outstanding shares of common stock. The IFRS earnings for the last twelve months prior to 30 September 2023 was negative NOK 51.8 million excluding discontinued operations. The weighted average number of shares in the period 30 September 2022 to 30 September 2023 was 321 million resulting in a negative NOK 0.16 earnings per share. The negative result is largely related to asset write-downs.

EPRA earnings per share

EPRA earnings is a measure of underlying operating performance, excluding fair value gains, disposals and other items not considered to be part of core activity. Thus, to bridge from IFRS earnings to EPRA earnings one must adjust for contributions to NAV, which includes changes in value of investment properties and deferred tax on investment properties. In addition, add back value changes of financial items and deferred tax on financial derivates. For the last twelve months prior to 30 September 2023, the EPRA earnings was NOK 125.4 million and a negative NOK 18.3 million for the third quarter. The weighted number of shares in the respective periods was 321 million and 344 million, resulting in EPRA EPS for the last twelve months of NOK 0.39 and negative NOK 0.05 for the third quarter.

Acquisitions

On 29 September 2023, KMC Properties announced the acquisition of seven properties from BEWI ASA for a total transaction value of NOK 625 million. The properties have an annualised rental income of NOK 54 million (50 per cent CPI adjustment from 1 January 2024 and 100 per cent thereafter) and a WAULT of 17 years. The properties are located in Belgium, Germany and Poland. The acquisition represents the last part of the agreement between KMC Properties and BEWI ASA to acquire an industrial real estate portfolio of up to NOK 2 billion.

The acquisition of the properties is expected to be completed in stages during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.

Sales

KMC Properties has sold one property in Fredrikstad, Norway, during the third quarter. The property was valued at NOK 8 million in the transaction, which was 16 per cent above book value.

Greenfield projects

KMC Properties completed the development of a packaging hub at Hitra in Norway in the third quarter. The annualised lease for 2023 is NOK 10.5 million, and the lease contract has a WAULT of 15 years.

In connection with the packaging hub, the company has a storage building under development with estimated completion in the fourth quarter this year. The annualised lease for 2024 is estimated at NOK 2.6 million, and the lease contract has a WAULT of 10 years.

Investments in existing properties

KMC Properties maintains its close relations to tenants by actively engaging in property development activities.

In the third quarter, the company invested NOK 20 million across 5 properties.

KMC has through the first nine months of 2023 been in a planning phase of improving energy labelling of its properties, including hiring a sustainability manager.

Key efforts have been focused on mapping the energy classification of the entire portfolio and analysing feasible measures to improve the buildings' performance and classification character in accordance with the EU requirements.

Investment decisions on improved energy and heating are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Capital optimisation

In July 2023, KMC Properties completed the refinancing of its NOK 1 850 million senior secured bond loan and its NOK 200 million fully drawn revolving credit facility.

The refinancing resulted in an overall interest margin of 3.32 per cent plus floating interest on the company's total interest-bearing debt of approximately NOK 3 484 million, down from 3.49 per cent plus floating interest previously.

In connection with the announced acquisition of the seven properties from BEWI ASA, the company will draw an additional NOK 290 million in bank debt from Nordea Denmark, which will lower the overall interest margin for KMC Properties to 3.15 per cent. The bank loan will be secured against parts of the Danish portfolio which are currently pledged in KMC Properties' senior secured 23/26 bond. The Danish properties will be sold from the bond portfolio and replaced by the properties acquired in this transaction.

Following the completion of the announced transaction, KMC Properties will have gross interest-bearing debt of approximately NOK 3.8 billion, consisting of NOK 2.9 billion of bank debt and NOK 900 million in senior secured, callable bonds.

The announced acquisition is further financed by NOK 275 million of new equity, which has been subscribed by Nordika in a private placement. Nordika is a large Nordic real estate investor with approximately SEK 6 billion of assets under management focusing on value-adding investments supported by income-yielding assets. Nordika has a long-term approach based on supporting companies' growth trajectories. Nordika is aligned with KMC Properties' growth strategy.

Following the completion of the private placement, Nordika will own 12.7 per cent of the post-issuance shares in the company.

Once the Private Placement is completed, Nordika will be granted a call option to subscribe for and be allotted additional new shares in KMC Properties for a total amount of NOK 130 million, bringing the ownership in KMC Properties to potentially 17.4 per cent. The call option may be exercised until four months from the time when the private placement has been completed.

Subsequent events

Reference is made to the press release made on 13 October 2023 with regards to the successful sale of a property in Täby, Sweden. The sale of the property was closed on 13 October for NOK 68 million in alignment with book value. The property had valuation yield of 6.14 per cent and a WAULT of 4.3 years.

Since most of the group's lease agreements are triple net bare house agreements, property costs are low. Hence Net operating income amounted to NOK 102.3 million for the third quarter and NOK 299.4 million for the first nine months of 2023, compared to NOK 64.9 million and NOK 190.9 million respectively for the comparable periods of 2022.

For the first nine months, net realised financials amounted to negative NOK 150.2 million, compared to negative NOK 80.4 million for the first nine months of 2022.

Interest expenses related to construction loans amounted to NOK 1.5 million, however these expenses are considered as part of the construction cost, hence they are not reflected in the net realised financials.

Outlook

The current macroeconomic environment continues to be characterised by high inflation that has resulted in a significant increase in interest rates. This has had a strongly negative impact on the real estate industry in terms of declining property values, rising financing costs and less availability of debt.

However, KMC Properties' portfolio of high yielding logistic and light industry properties with solid tenants, long triple-net-bare house contracts and 100 per cent CPI adjustments on almost all its lease agreements, reduces these risks significantly. In addition, KMC Properties' newly refinanced interest-bearing debt, puts the company in a strong financial position and creates a solid platform for further accretive growth. Today's real estate markets, although difficult, offer a widening range of acquisition opportunities at attractive yields.

KMC Properties remains committed to its investment strategy, focusing on properties in Northern Europe with solid tenants in established industries, in addition to greenfield and capex projects in collaboration with current and new tenants.

With the recently announced transaction, the company has completed the transformative agreement entered with BEWI on 30 June 2022. The acquisition and financing terms demonstrate that highly accretive transactions are possible in today's markets and gives confidence that KMC Properties will continue its accretive growth towards its goal of a GAV of NOK 8 billion in 2024.

When the company has sufficient liquidity, the board of directors intends to propose to the general meeting to pay dividends in line with the company's dividend policy of 30 to 50 per cent of cash earnings.

Selected notes to the interim financial statements

Note 01 Basis of preparation and accounting principles

The results for the period have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles that have been used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are in conformity with the principles used in preparation of the annual financial statements for 2022.

In the beginning of 2022, the group decided to exit the Russian market and initiated an active process to locate a buyer for its Russian subsidiary owning the company's office building in Moscow. The investment in Russia is consequently presented as a discontinued operation and the associated assets and liabilities presented as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5. The Russian subsidiary was sold in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The financial reporting covers KMC Properties ASA and subsidiaries. The interim financial statements have not been audited.

Note 02 Tenancy agreements

The group mainly enters into long-term lease agreements with solid counterparties, for properties that are strategically located for the tenants. Most lease contracts are "triple-net bare house lease agreements". Lease payments of the contracts include CPI increases.

1) Other changes relates to adjustment of right-of-use asset, capitalised transaction costs and pro-contra settlements.

The sensitivity of the fair-value assessment of investment properties depends to a considerable extent on assumptions related to yield, interest rates, market rents and operating costs for the properties. The table below presents examples of how changes related to each of these variables influenced property values, on 30 September 2023, assuming all other variables remained constant (amounts in NOK million). However, there are interrelationships between these variables, and it is expected that a change in one variable may influence one or more of the other variables.

Variables Change of variables Value change (+) Value change (-)
Exit yield +/- 0.25 per cent points (44.6) 47.8
Discount rate +/- 0.25 per cent points (115.6) 114.7

The details for the calculation of the performance measures are shown on the following pages.

A. EPRA EARNINGS

EPRA Earnings is a measure of the operational performance of the property portfolio. EPRA Earnings is calculated based on the income statement, adjusted for non-controlling interests, value changes on investment properties, changes in the market value of financial instruments and the associated tax effects.

Company specific Adjusted EPS (0.06) 0.19 0.27 0.08 0.49

B. EPRA NET ASSET VALUE (NAV) METRICS EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV)

The objective of the EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis and assumes that no selling of assets takes place. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. Real estate transfer taxes are levied on property transactions in Netherland, but not on property transactions in the Nordics. Such taxes are not included in investment property values and is therefore not corrected for.

EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA)

The EPRA NTA is focused on reflecting a company's tangible assets and assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax liability. KMC Properties has adopted the first option in the EPRA BPR guidelines excluding all deferred tax related to investment properties, since KMC Properties has no intention to sell any of its properties.

EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV)

The EPRA NDV measure illustrates a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability. This enables readers of financial reports to understand the full extent of liabilities and resulting shareholder value under an orderly sale of business and/ or if liabilities are not held until maturity. The measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" for KMC Properties, as fair values may not represent liquidation values, and as an immediate realisation of KMC Properties assets may be structured as sale of property-owning companies, resulting in the deferred tax liabilities only partially crystallising.

C. EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY)

EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY) measures the annualised rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, increased with (estimated) purchasers' costs.

EPRA "topped-up" NIY incorporates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY in respect of the expiration of rent-free periods (or other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents).
