29 October 2024 – after closing of markets

1. Summary of the activities since 1 July 2024

In the third quarter of 2024, Aedifica focused mainly on executing its investment programme and managing its portfolio. Backed by a healthy balance sheet, improving operator performance and an improving macroeconomic environment in which short-term interest rates have started to decrease and inflation has fallen, Aedifica has made a few new investments. The Group acquired a portfolio of four new futureproof care homes in the UK totalling £61.5 million and announced two new development projects in Finland with attractive yields. Since the beginning of the year, the Group announced approx. €135 million in new investments in the healthcare real estate sector, which will continue to need additional capacity in the years to come due to the ageing European population. Aedifica again posted solid results, which is reflected in EPRA Earnings* that are above budget and increased by 7% compared to Q3 2023.

PORTFOLIO OF OVER €6.1 BILLION

At the end of September, Aedifica's real estate portfolio included 630 sites with a capacity of more than 35,600 residents and over 12,700 children. With a fair value of approx. €6,121 million (compared to €5,849 million at the beginning of the year), the Group's portfolio has crossed the €6 billion mark.

Over the course of the third quarter, 5 projects from the investment programme were completed for a total amount of €61.5 million. This brings the number of completions over the first nine months to a total of 23 projects amounting to approx. €197 million and reduces the investment programme to approx. €236 million as at 30 September 2024 (see Appendix 3). In the coming weeks and months, several more projects from the investment programme will be delivered, while a number of new projects are expected to be added.

Aedifica has focused not only on executing its investment programme, but also on executing its strategic asset rotation programme6 . At the publication date of this report, a total of twelve buildings have been divested for approx. €73.5 million. On the one hand, these divestments optimise the composition of the existing portfolio, while on the other hand they generate capital that can be recycled to finance new investments.

HEALTHY BALANCE SHEET

Aedifica boasts a healthy balance sheet. As at 30 September 2024, the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 41.5%, well below the 45% threshold the Group imposes on itself in its financial policy. Throughout 2024, after five consecutive quarters of negative portfolio valuations, the portfolio valuation on a like-for-like basis has been slightly positive, confirming the resilience of healthcare real estate.

Since the beginning of the year, financial resources were strengthened by contracting approx. €110 million in long-term bank financing (early refinancing, of which €85 million are linked to sustainability KPIs). Moreover, €235 million in bank facilities initially maturing in 2026 were successfully extended by one year. At the end of September, headroom on committed credit lines stood at €634 million, providing ample resources to finance the execution of the investment programme and liquidity needs.

The average cost of debt* including commitment fees remained at 1.9% thanks to the Group's interest rate hedges covering over 89% of financial debt. The hedging's weighted average maturity is 4.4 years.

In addition, 42% of drawn credit lines are linked to sustainability KPIs, underlining the Group's efforts to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy.

6 As announced in the press release of 21 February 2024, the 2024 divestment programme amounts to €100 million.

SOLID RESULTS

Over the first nine months of 2024, Aedifica's portfolio generated a rental income of €251 million, an increase of more than 7% as compared to the same period last year. This increase is mainly explained by the projects delivered from the pipeline and the indexation of rents, amounting to 3.0% on a like-forlike basis. EPRA Earnings* amounted to €178.3 million (€167.3 million as at 30 September 2023, an increase of approx. 7%), i.e. €3.75 per share. EPRA Earnings* (absolute and per share) are above budget. Aedifica's total profit amounts to €171.0 million (€89.5 million as at 30 September 2023).

These solid results allow Aedifica's Board of Directors to reaffirm the gross dividend guidance of €3.90 per share for the 2024 financial year and adjust the estimated EPRA Earnings* upwards to at least €4.90 per share (see section 5 'Outlook').

3. Management of financial resources

3.1. Financial debts

During the first nine months of 2024, Aedifica strengthened its financial resources by contracting longterm bank facilities (early refinancing) of €110 million with maturities between 5 and 6 years, of which €85 million are linked to sustainability KPIs. Furthermore, €235 million of bank facilities with extension options – initially maturing in 2026 – were successfully extended by one year.

In addition, Aedifica increased its issuance of short-term treasury notes by €79 million, optimising its cost of debt. The total amount of short-term treasury notes stands at €321 million, backed by committed credit facilities in case of non-renewal.

Taking these elements into account, the maturity dates of Aedifica's financial debts as at 30 September 2024 are as follows:

1 Amounts in £ were converted into € based on the exchange rate of 30 September 2024 (0.83234 €/£).

As at 30 September 2024, the weighted average maturity of the drawn financial debt is 3.8 years. Available committed financing amounts to €955 million. After deducting the backup for the short-term treasury notes, the available liquidity stands at €634 million.

Loans contracted under Aedifica's Sustainable Finance Framework or linked to sustainability KPIs amount to €1,372 million, of which €1,057 million is drawn on 30 September 2024 (42% of the drawn credit lines), underlining the Group's wish to further diversify its sources of financing and to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy.

The average cost of debt* including commitment fees remained at 1.9% (31 December 2023: 1.9%) thanks to the interest rate hedges Aedifica had in place.

As at 30 September 2024, 89.4% of financial debt is hedged against interest rate risks, i.e., the ratio of the sum of the fixed rate debt and the notional amount of derivatives divided by the total financial debt. The hedging's weighted average maturity is 4.4 years.

As part of its financial policy, Aedifica aims to keep its debt-to-assets ratio below 45%. As at 30 September 2024, the Group's consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounts to 41.5%.

In July, S&P has reaffirmed the BBB investment-grade rating with a stable outlook, reflecting the strength of the Group's balance sheet and its liquidity. The stable outlook reflects the predictable rental income supported by resilient health care assets and overall long leases which should continue to generate stable cash flows over the next few years. S&P's credit rating research is available on Aedifica's website.

4. Summary of the consolidated results as at 30 September 2024

4.1. Portfolio as at 30 September 2024

During the first nine months of 2024, Aedifica increased its portfolio of investment properties7 by approx. €272 million, from a fair value of €5,849 million to €6,121 million. This value of €6,121 million includes the marketable investment properties8 (€5,976 million) and the development projects (€145 million). The increase in marketable investment properties comes mainly from acquisitions and completed development projects (see section 2.1 above) and changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties recognised in income (+€9.3 million, or +0.2% over the first nine months). The changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties9 , as assessed by independent valuation experts, are broken down as follows:

  • Belgium: -€17.2 million (-1.4%)
  • Germany: -€14.1 million (-1.2%)
  • Netherlands: +€7.0 million (+1.1%)
  • United Kingdom: +€27.6 million (+2.6%)
  • Finland: +€3.5 million (+0.3%)
  • Sweden: +€0.1 million (+0.1%)
  • Ireland: +€2.9 million (+0.7%)
  • Spain: -€0.5 million

In the first nine months of 2024, after five consecutive quarters of negative portfolio valuations, expert valuations of marketable investment properties were up again. They increased by 0.12% in Q3 and 0.38% YTD (on a like-for-like basis, excluding any impact from currency translation). The most pronounced increase in portfolio valuation was recorded in the UK due to the strong operational performance of tenants, backed by the underlying resident occupancy of 91% for the stabilised portfolio at the end of June and a strong rental coverage.

1 Based on the fair value (re-assessed every three months). For healthcare real estate, the gross yield and the net yield are generally equal ('triple net' contracts) with the operating charges, the maintenance costs and the rents on empty spaces related to the operations generally being supported by the operator in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and (often) the Netherlands. In Germany, Finland and Sweden (and the Netherlands, in some cases), the net yield is generally lower than the gross yield, with certain charges remaining the responsibility of the owner, such as the repair and maintenance of the roof, structure and facades of the building ('double net' contracts).

29 October 2024 – after closing of markets

The increase in consolidated rental income can be attributed to the growth of Aedifica's portfolio through the delivery of development projects from the investment programme and is supported by the indexation of rental income.

The 3.3% like-for-like variation* in rental income can be broken down into +3.0% indexation of rents, -0.2% rent reversion and contingent rents, and +0.5% exchange rate fluctuation.

Taking into account the rental-related charges (€0.0 million), the net rental income amounts to €251.1 million (+8% compared to 30 September 2023).

The property result amounts to €251.7 million (30 September 2023: €232.5 million). This result, less other direct costs, leads to a property operating result of €242.2 million (30 September 2023: €225.0 million). This implies an operating margin* of 96.5% (30 September 2023: 96.7%).

After deducting overheads of €25.0 million (30 September 2023: €25.6 million) and taking into account other operating income and charges, the operating result before result on the portfolio has increased by 8% to reach €216.1 million (30 September 2023: €199.2 million). This implies an EBIT margin* of 86.1% (30 September 2023: 85.7%).

Taking into account the cash flows generated by hedging instruments, Aedifica's net interest charges amount to €33.7 million (30 September 2023: €34.8 million). Taking into account other income and charges of a financial nature, and excluding the net impact of the revaluation of hedging instruments to their fair value (non-cash movements accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 are not included in the EPRA Earnings* as explained below), the financial result excl. changes in fair value* represents a net charge of €36.7 million (30 September 2023: €36.1 million).

Corporate taxes are composed of current taxes, deferred taxes, tax on profits or losses on disposals and exit tax. In conformity with the special tax system of Belgian RRECs, the taxes included in the EPRA Earnings* (30 September 2024: charge of €0.6 million; 30 September 2023: income of €4.4 million) consist primarily of tax on the result of consolidated subsidiaries, tax on profits generated outside of Belgium and Belgian tax on Aedifica's non-deductible expenditures. On 30 September 2024, current taxes include a non-recurring refund of corporate taxes in the Netherlands following the obtention of the Fiscal Investment Institutions (Fiscale Beleggingsintellingen, 'FBI') regime for the year 2022 amounting to approx. €4.2 million (see section 4.4). As a reminder, also in the first nine months of 2023 current taxes included a non-recurring refund of corporate taxes in the Netherlands of approx. €9.0 million for the period from 2016 to 2021.

The share in the result of associates and joint ventures mainly includes the result of the participation in Immobe NV (consolidated since 31 March 2019 using the equity method).

EPRA Earnings* (see Appendix 4.7.1) reached €178.3 million (30 September 2023: €167.3 million), or €3.75 per share (30 September 2023: €3.95 per share), based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and taking into account the higher number of shares resulting from capital increases. This result (absolute and per share) is above budget.

29 October 2024 – after closing of markets

The income statement also includes elements with no monetary impact (i.e., non-cash) that vary in line with external market parameters. These consist amongst others of changes in the fair value of investment properties (accounted for in accordance with IAS 40), changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (accounted for in accordance with IAS 39), other results on portfolio and deferred taxes (arising from IAS 40):

  • Over the first nine months of 2024, the combined changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties11 and development projects represent a decrease of €0.2 million for the period (30 September 2023: a decrease of €101.9 million).
  • In order to limit the interest rate risk stemming from the financing of its investments, Aedifica has put in place long-term hedges which allow for the conversion of variable-rate debt to fixedrate debt, or to capped-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities taken into the income statement as at 30 September 2024 represent a charge of €17.5 million due to the decrease in long-term interest rates (30 September 2023: a charge of €0.3 million).
  • Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties (30 September 2024: gain of €0.3 million; 30 September 2023: loss of €0.3 million) are also taken into account here.
  • Deferred taxes in respect of EPRA adjustments (income of €9.2 million as at 30 September 2024, compared to an income of €23.2 million as at 30 September 2023) arose from the recognition at fair value of buildings located abroad, in conformity with IAS 40. In the first nine months of 2024, deferred taxes were positively impacted by obtaining REIT status in the UK.

Taking into account the non-monetary elements described above, the profit (owners of the parent) amounts to €171.0 million (30 September 2023: €89.5 million). The basic earnings per share (as defined by IAS 33) is €3.60 (30 September 2023: €2.11).

11 That change corresponds to the sum of the positive and negative variations of the fair value of the buildings as at 31 December 2023 or the time of entry of new buildings in the portfolio, and the fair value estimated by the valuation experts as at 30 September 2024. It also includes ancillary acquisition costs and changes in the right of use of plots of land and the land reserve.

4.4. Fiscal Investment Institutions ('FBI') in the Netherlands

In September 2022, the Dutch government announced its intention to exclude direct investments in real estate from the Fiscal Investment Institutions (Fiscale Beleggingsinstellingen, 'FBI') regime as from 1 January 2024. The entry into force of this measure was postponed to 1 January 2025.

Although Aedifica believed it met the conditions for claiming the FBI regime and submitted applications to the Dutch tax authorities to that effect, the Group opted as a matter of prudence for a common law tax burden on the results of its Dutch subsidiaries from the start of its operations in the Netherlands in 2016. Every year, the Group claimed the application of this regime.

At the end of 2022, the Group finally received confirmation that the FBI requirements were met for the past fiscal years. Aedifica decided to reverse the accrued tax provisions of previous years in the income statement upon receipt of the final corporate tax assessment. In 2023, approx. €9.0 million in refunds for the period from 2016 to 2021 was received and recognised in the income statement.

The final corporate tax assessment for the year 2022 was received early 2024. The accrued tax provisions for 2022 amounted to approx. €4.2 million. For the years 2023 and 2024, no provisions for corporate income tax have been made in the Dutch subsidiaries. From 2025 onwards, based on the current portfolio, the current taxes for the Dutch subsidiaries are estimated to be around €5.2 million and will reduce EPRA Earnings* by approx. 11 eurocents per share.

4.5. UK REIT regime

To make Aedifica's investments in the United Kingdom more attractive and increase the contribution of UK operating cash flows to the Group's results, Aedifica decided to operate in the UK under the REIT regime.

In this context, Aedifica has transferred its real estate activities in the UK, Jersey and the Isle of Man to the recently incorporated AED UK Holdings Ltd. This wholly owned non-listed entity now holds the shares of all UK subsidiaries within the Aedifica group. On 30 January 2024, the holding notified HMRC of its intention to become a REIT. As a result, the accounting period under the REIT regime began on 1 February 2024.

Under REIT legislation, companies are exempt from UK corporation tax on UK property investment income and gains on UK property. However, REITs must distribute 90% of underlying tax-exempt property income (not gains) to shareholders within twelve months. These distributions are subject to a 20% withholding tax. Following the double tax treaty between the United Kingdom and Belgium, the net impact of the withholding tax amounts to only 15%.

29 October 2024 – after closing of markets

4.6. Net asset value per share

The table below details the change in the net asset value per share.

Excluding the non-monetary effects (i.e., non-cash) of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments12 and after accounting for the distribution of the 2023 dividend in May 202413 , the net asset value per share based on the fair value of investment properties amounted to €74.90 as at 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: €70.35 per share).

1 Based on the rights to the dividend for the shares issued during the year.

12 The effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments of +€0.94 per share as at 30 September 2024 is the impact in equity of the fair value of hedging instruments, which is positive for €44.7 million, mainly booked in the assets on the balance sheet.

13 Recall that IFRS requires the presentation of the annual accounts before appropriation. The net asset value of €73.86 per share as at 31 December 2023 (as published in the 2023 Annual Report) thus included the gross dividend distributed in May 2024, and has been adjusted by €3.51 per share in this table so that it can be compared with the net asset value as at 30 September 2024. This amount corresponds to the total amount of dividends paid (€166.7 million), divided by the total number of shares outstanding as at 31 December 2023 (47,550,119).

5. Outlook

The Board of Directors continues to pay close attention to the shifting economic, financial and political context, as well as the associated impact on the Group's activities.

Outlook for 2024
Estimated rental income €337 million
EPRA Earnings* >€233 million
EPRA Earnings* per share >€4.90
Gross dividend €3.90

On 30 September 2024, the EPRA Earnings* were ahead of budget, mainly due to a more favourable exchange rate in the UK entities, additional investments not previously budgeted for, good cost control combined with slightly lower financial charges following the recent decrease in short-term interest rates.

Taking into account these results, which are ahead of budget, Aedifica's Board of Directors has updated the outlook for the current financial year. On the basis of the currently available information and the projected real estate portfolio, and without any unforeseen developments, rental income for the 2024 financial year is estimated to reach €337 million, resulting in at least €233 million in EPRA Earnings*. The Board of Directors anticipates EPRA Earnings* of at least €4.90 per share. In addition, the Board reaffirmed the dividend outlook of €3.90 (gross) per share, payable in May 2025.

1 The figures in this table are rounded amounts. The sum of certain figures might therefore not correspond to the stated total. Amounts in £ were converted into € based on the exchange rate of 30 September 2024 (0.83234 €/£).

2 Although still under construction, development projects often already generate limited rental income, in particular for the plots of land that have already been acquired. Their values are therefore no longer mentioned in the table above. This explains why the estimated investment values differ from those mentioned earlier.

3 This project has already been completed after 30 September 2024 (see section 2.2 above).

Over the first nine months of 2024, three new development projects have been added to the investment programme (for a total amount of €17 million), while 23 pipeline projects have been completed (for a total amount of €197 million). Active management of the investment programme has led to a few projects totalling €22 million being withdrawn in the second quarter of the year.

Given the completion of two development projects in Finland and Ireland, and one forward purchase in the UK after 30 September 2024, the total investment budget will be reduced by approx. €50 million (see section 2.2 above).

4. Calculation details of the Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

Aedifica has used Alternative Performance Measures in accordance with ESMA (European Securities and Market Authority) guidelines published on 5 October 2015 in its financial communication for many years. Some of these APMs are recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) and others have been defined by the industry or by Aedifica in order to provide readers with a better understanding of the Company's results and performance. The APMs used in this interim financial report are identified with an asterisk (*). Performance measures defined by IFRS standards or by Law are not considered to be APMs, neither are those that are not based on the consolidated income statement or the balance sheet. The definition of APMs, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from those used in the financial statements of other companies.

4.1. Investment properties

Aedifica uses the performance measures presented below to determine the value of its investment properties; however, these measures are not defined under IFRS. They reflect alternate clustering of investment properties with the aim of providing the reader with the most relevant information.

4.3. Average cost of debt*

Aedifica uses average cost of debt* and average cost of debt* (incl. commitment fees) to reflect the costs of its financial debts; however, these performance measures are not defined under IFRS. They represent annualised net interest charges deducted by reinvoiced interests and IFRS 16 (and commitment fees) divided by weighted average financial debts.

(x €1,000) 30/09/2024 31/12/2023
Weighted average financial debts (a) 2,393,315 2,395,149
XXI. Net interest charges -33,654 -45,004
Reinvoiced interests (incl. in XX. Financial income) 322 2,181
Interest cost related to leasing debts booked in accordance with IFRS 16 1,055 1,393

Average cost of debt* (b)/(a) 1.8% 1.7%
Commitment fees (incl. in XXII. Other financial charges) -2,604 -3,514
Annualised net interest charges (incl. commitment fees) (c) -46,593 -44,944
Average cost of debt* (incl. commitment fees) (c)/(a) 1.9% 1.9%

4.4. Interest Cover Ratio* (ICR)

Aedifica uses the Interest Cover Ratio* to measure its ability to meet interest payments obligations related to debt financing and should be at least equal to 2.0x. The ICR* is calculated based on the definition set out in the prospectus of Aedifica's Sustainability Bond: 'Operating result before result on the portfolio' (lines I to XV of the consolidated income statement) divided by 'Net interest charges' (line XXI) on a 12-month rolling basis.

(x €1,000) 01/10/2023 -

XXI. Net interest charges (TTM) 1 -43,891 -45,004
Interest Cover Ratio* 6.4 5.9

1 TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) means that the calculation is based on financial figures for the past 12 months.

4.5. Net debt/EBITDA

This APM indicates how long a company would have to operate at its current level to pay off all its debts. It is calculated by dividing net financial debts, i.e., long-term and current financial debts minus cash and cash equivalents (numerator) by the EBITDA of the past twelve months (TTM) (denominator). EBITDA is the operating result before result on portfolio plus depreciation and amortisation.

Non-current and current financial debts 2,502,323 2,280,299

1 TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) means that the calculation is based on financial figures for the past 12 months.

29 October 2024 – after closing of markets

4.6. Equity

Aedifica uses equity excl. changes in fair value of hedging instruments* to reflect equity before non-cash effects of the revaluation of hedging instruments; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents the line 'equity attributable to owners of the parent' without cumulated noncash effects of the revaluation of hedging instruments.

(x €1,000) 30/09/2024 31/12/2023
Equity attributable to owners of the parent 3,606,158 3,575,862

- Effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments -44,684 -63,908
Equity excl. changes in fair value of hedging instruments* 3,561,474 3,345,278

4.7. Key performance indicators according to the EPRA principles
