1. Summary of the activities since 1 January 2023

During the first quarter of 2023, Aedifica focused mainly on the execution of its investment programme and the strength of its balance sheet. Despite the volatile macroeconomic environment and the increased interest rates, Aedifica again posted solid results, which is reflected in EPRA Earnings* that are slightly above budget and increased by 37% compared to Q1 2022.

INVESTMENTS ACROSS EUROPE

Since the beginning of the year, Aedifica announced 7 development projects in Finland for approx. €29 million. Furthermore, a total of 9 projects from the investment programme amounting to approx. €65 million were completed during the first quarter.

At the end of March, Aedifica's real estate portfolio has increased to 624 sites with a capacity of nearly 35,500 residents and over 11,500 children. The fair value of the real estate portfolio* amounted to approx. €5,713 million (compared to €5,704 million at the beginning of the financial year).

In addition, as of 31 March 2023, the Group has a total investment programme in pre-let development projects and acquisitions in progress of approx. €630 million (see Appendix 3). Given this investment programme, Aedifica's total portfolio is expected to cross the €6 billion mark soon.

DEFENSIVE FINANCIAL PROFILE

Despite the volatile macroeconomic environment, Aedifica boasts a healthy balance sheet. As of 31 March 2023, Aedifica's consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 43.6%. During the first quarter of 2023, the Group reinforced financial liquidity by contracting approx. €100 million in new long-term bank financing (early refinancing).

SOLID RESULTS

Aedifica has focused on managing its existing real estate assets. The result of this effort is reflected in an excellent rental income of €76.2 million (€64.9 million as at 31 March 2022, an increase of approx. 17%). The EPRA Earnings* are slightly above budget and amount to €55.3 million (€40.4 million as at 31 March 2022, an increase of approx. 37%), i.e. €1.39 per share. Aedifica's total profit amounts to €16 million. Considering the volatile macro-economic environment due to high inflation, rising interest rates and the current geopolitical situation, these solid results allow Aedifica's Board of Directors to reaffirm its outlook for the 2023 financial year4 .

- Update on Orpea and the German market

Specifically in Germany, the current macroeconomic environment is putting increased pressure on the operating margin of some operators as their increased costs are not being offset by a proportionate increase in revenues. While Aedifica expects these revenues to increase in the future, the Group is aware of a temporary increased risk of incidents in the German market, as some German operators have already turned to insolvency procedures, be it with limited impact on Aedifica's portfolio (infra). Aedifica continues to closely monitor the financial condition of its tenants.

In this context, two care home businesses were transferred to new tenants as German operator Convivo filed for insolvency. Seniorenhaus Wiederitzch in Leipzig was transferred to Inter Pares, which operates 16 sites totaling more than 1,200 beds. SenRegio Nord GmbH (part of Careciano) took over operations of Haus am Jungfernstieg in Neumünster. These transfers allowed all residents to remain in their familiar surroundings and care staff to remain in place.

In February 2023, the Orpea group initiated in France an amicable settlement procedure with its creditors to renegotiate its debts. Orpea operates 21 Aedifica care homes (BE: 9; DE: 5; NL: 7) and represents 4.6% of the Group's contractual rental income (BE: 2.5%; DE: 1.1%; NL: 1.1%). As part of the group's strategic transformation, Orpea no longer considers Belgium as a strategic market and announced it will stop its operational activities in some Belgian care homes including five Aedifica care homes located in Brussels (New Philip, Jardins de Provence, Bel-Air, Résidence Service & Résidence du Golf). Aedifica's other four care homes operated by Orpea remain operational. Aedifica is currently negotiating a global deal with Orpea encompassing the mutually agreed conditions for terminating the leases for the five Brussels-based assets, the compensation for the disposal of these 5 assets and the lease terms for the four assets that remain operational. There is no impact on the operational activities or the lease terms for the Dutch and German assets in the Aedifica portfolio. Rents are paid for all assets leased to Orpea.

3. Management of financial resources

3.1. Financial debts

During the first quarter of 2023, Aedifica strengthened its financial resources by securing new long-term financing with two banks. In total, Aedifica has contracted bank loans for a euro equivalent of €100 million (early refinancing). €60 million of these bank loans is linked to sustainability KPIs. The loans have due dates between 2028 and 2029.

Taking these elements into account, the maturity dates of Aedifica's financial debts as of 31 March 2023 are as follows:

1 Amounts in £ were converted into € based on the exchange rate of 31 March 2023 (0.87954 €/£).

2 Without regard to short-term treasury notes.

Without regard to short-term financing (short-term treasury notes), the weighted average maturity of the drawn financial debt as of 31 March 2023 is 4.5 years. As of 31 March 2023, available credit lines amounted to €908 million. After deducting the backup for the short-term commercial paper, the available liquidity amounts to €623 million.

The average cost of debt* including commitment fees is 1.9%, which is higher than in the previous financial year (1.4%), reflecting the increase in financial market reference rates partially offset by hedges.

As of 31 March 2023, Aedifica's consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 43.6%, stable compared to 31 December 2022.

As of 31 March 2023, 88% of financial debt is hedged against interest rate risk, 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 5.6 years.

Loans contracted under Aedifica's Sustainable Finance Framework or linked to sustainability KPIs amount to €945 million, of which €848 million is drawn on 31 March 2023 (34% of the drawn debt), underlining the Group's wish to further diversify its sources of financing and to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy.

4. Summary of the consolidated results as of 31 March 2023

4.1. Portfolio as of 31 March 2023

During the first quarter of the current financial year, Aedifica increased its portfolio of investment properties5 by approx. €9 million, from a fair value of €5,704 million to €5,713 million. This value of €5,713 million includes the marketable investment properties6 (€5,535 million) and the development projects (€178 million). The increase in marketable investment properties comes mainly from completed development projects (see section 2.1 above) and changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties recognised in income (-€44.7 million, or -0.8%). The changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties, as assessed by independent valuation experts, are broken down as follows:

  • Belgium: -€3.3 million (-0.3%)
  • Germany: -€16.3 million (-1.4%)
  • Netherlands: -€15.3 million (-2.4%)
  • United Kingdom: +€12.8 million (+1.3%)
  • Finland: -€13.5 million (-1.4%)
  • Sweden: -€4.2 million (-5.5%)
  • Ireland: -€4.9 million (-1.7%)

Changed market conditions led to a slight decrease of expert valuations in the first quarter (a decrease of 0.8% on a like-for-like basis excluding any impact from currency translation).

As of 31 March 2023, Aedifica's portfolio comprised 624 marketable investment properties (including assets classified as held for sale*), with a total capacity of nearly 35,500 residents and over 11,500 children and a total surface area of approx. 2,200,000 m2 .

  • €1,295 million in Belgium (85 sites) - €1,202 million in Germany (103 sites) - €979 million in Finland (205 sites) - €988 million in the United Kingdom (113 sites) - €626 million in the Netherlands (75 sites) - €300 million in Ireland (18 sites) - €72 million in Sweden (24 sites) - €1.4 million in Spain (1 site) Geographical breakdown Breakdown by facility type 24% 22% 11% 18% 18% 1% 6% >0% Belgium Germany Netherlands United Kingdom Finland Sweden Ireland Spain 67% 4% 16% 6% 7% Elderly care homes Senior housing Mixed-use elderly care buildings Childcare centres Other care segments

° 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).

The consolidated turnover (consolidated rental income) for the first quarter of the current financial year (1 January 2023 – 31 March 2023) amounted to €76.2 million, an increase of approx. 17% as compared to the turnover of €64.9 million on 31 March 2022.

Aedifica's consolidated rental income by country is presented in the table below.

10 May 2023 – before opening of markets Under embargo until 07:30 CET

The increase in consolidated rental income demonstrates the relevance of Aedifica's investment strategy and can be attributed to the large number of sites that Aedifica has added to its portfolio through the completion of new acquisitions and the delivery of development projects from the investment programme.

After deduction of the rental-related charges (€0.3 million), the net rental income amounts to €75.9 million (+17% compared to 31 March 2022).

The property result amounts to €75.9 million (31 March 2022: €64.8 million). This result, less other direct costs, leads to a property operating result of €72.1 million (31 March 2022: €61.6 million). This implies an operating margin* of 95.0% (31 March 2022: 95.2%).

After deducting overheads of €8.7 million (31 March 2022: €9.3 million) and taking into account other operating income and charges, the operating result before result on the portfolio has increased by 21% to reach €63.4 million (31 March 2022: €52.6 million). This implies an EBIT margin* of 83.5% (31 March 2022: 81.1%).

Taking into account the cash flows generated by hedging instruments, Aedifica's net interest charges amount to €11.4 million (31 March 2022: €6.9 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 €12.1 million (31 March 2022: charge of €8.2 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* (31 March 2023: income of €4.3 million; 31 March 2022: charge of €3.7 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. Although the Aedifica group was of the opinion that it meets the conditions for claiming the Fiscal Investment Institutions (Fiscale Beleggingsintellingen, 'FBI') regime in the Netherlands 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 in the results of its Dutch subsidiaries from the start of its operations in the Netherlands in 2016. Each year the Aedifica group claimed the application of this regime for its subsidiaries active in the Netherlands. Last autumn, the Group finally received confirmation that the FBI requirements have been met for the past fiscal years. During the first quarter of 2023, final corporate tax assessments and refunds amounting to approx. €6.2 million were received and recognised in the income statement.

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 4.6.1) reached €55.3 million (31 March 2022: €40.4 million), or €1.39 per share (31 March 2022: €1.11 per share), based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and taking into account the higher number of shares resulting from the 2022 capital increases. This result (absolute and per share) is slighthly above budget.

10 May 2023 – before opening of markets Under embargo until 07:30 CET

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 quarter, the combined changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties8 and development projects represent a decrease of €50.4 million for the period (31 March 2022: an increase of €51.1 million). Changed market conditions following the increase in interest rates have led to a slight decrease of expert valuations.
  • 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. Moreover, the financial instruments also reflect put options granted to certain minority shareholders which are the subject of appraisal at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities taken into the income statement as of 31 March 2023 represent a charge of €11.6 million (31 March 2022: an income of €35.5 million) following the increase of the long-term interest rates.
  • Capital gains on disposals (31 March 2023: €0.2 million; 31 March 2022: €0.4 million) are also taken into account here.
  • Tax on profit or losses on disposals represents an income of €0 million as of 31 March 2023 (compared to a charge of €1.8 million as of 31 March 2022).
  • Deferred taxes in respect of EPRA adjustments (income of €22.1 million as of 31 March 2023, compared to a charge of €8.6 million on 31 March 2022) arose from the recognition at fair value of buildings located abroad, in conformity with IAS 40. In this quarter, deferred taxes were positively impacted by the granting of the FBI regime to Aedifica's Dutch subsidiaries (see page 13).

Taking into account the non-monetary elements described above, the profit (owners of the parent) amounts to €16.1 million (31 March 2022: €117.2 million). The basic earnings per share (as defined by IAS 33) is €0.40 (31 March 2022: €3.23).

8 That change corresponds to the sum of the positive and negative variations of the fair value of the buildings as of 31 December 2022 or the time of entry of new buildings in the portfolio, and the fair value estimated by the valuation experts as of 31 March 2023. It also includes ancillary acquisition costs and changes in the right of use of plots of land.

The table below details the evolution of the net asset value per share.

Excluding the non-monetary effects (i.e., non-cash) of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments9 , the net asset value per share based on the fair value of investment properties amounted to €80.17 as of 31 March 2023 (31 December 2022: €79.38 per share).

5. Outlook and dividend

5.1. Outlook for 2023

Outlook for 2023
Estimated rental income €308 million
EPRA Earnings* €200 million
EPRA Earnings* per share €5.03
Gross dividend €3.80

The table above presents the guidance for the 2023 financial year as communicated in the annual press release10 . On the basis of the currently available information and the projected real estate portfolio, and without any unforeseen developments, rental income for the 2023 financial year is estimated to reach €308 million (based on organic growth of approx. 4.8% following CPI-linked indexation), resulting in €200 million in EPRA Earnings*. The Board of Directors anticipates EPRA Earnings* per share of €5.03 per share – a 6% increase compared to 2022 – and a gross dividend of €3.80 per share, payable in May 2024. On 31 March 2023, the EPRA Earnings* were slightly above the quarterly budget.

5.2. Dividend for the 2022 financial year

As proposed, the General Meeting of 9 May 2023 decided to distribute a gross dividend of €3.70 per share for the 2022 financial year, divided over two coupons (coupon no. 30: €1.8145; coupon no. 31: €1.8855). After deducting the 15% withholding tax, the net dividend per share will amount to €1.5423 for coupon no. 30 and €1.6027 for coupon no. 31.

Coupon Period Ex-coupon date Gross dividend Net dividend
30 01/01/2022 – 28/06/2022 27/06/2022 €1.8145 €1.5423
31 29/06/2022 – 31/12/2022 11/05/2023 €1.8855 €1.6027

The Board of Directors has decided to offer shareholders an optional dividend, the modalities of which are described in the Information Memorandum. Shareholders are invited to make their choice in the context of the optional dividend as from 15 May 2023 until 25 May 2023 (16:00 CEST). On Wednesday 31 May 2023, sharholders will receive their new shares and/or their dividend in cash according to the choice made by the shareholder.

6. Corporate Social Responsibility

6.1. Aedifica included in the BEL ESG index

Aedifica's CSR strategy is not only reflected in good scores on ESG assessments. The Group was also rewarded for its efforts with inclusion in the new BEL ESG index. That index comprises the 20 companies listed on Euronext Brussels that perform best on ESG criteria, based among other things on their Sustainalytics Risk Rating.

6.2. Hoivatilat is the best place to work in Finland

Aedifica's Finnish subsidiary Hoivatilat has been recognised as the best place to work in Finland in the survey of the Great Place to Work Institute (category of small organisations). This is the result of several years of work to create satisfied employees and a well-functioning corporate culture. For five years in a row, the Finnish team's participation in the survey has resulted in excellent Trust Index scores (showing the percentage of respondents who consider their workplace to be a good place to work).

6.3. Successful Operator Days in Belgium

In March 2023, Aedifica organised two Operator Days in Ghent and Leuven to support its Belgian tenants with their real estate issues. Once every three years in each of the countries in which it operates, Aedifica invites its tenants to participate in Operator Days to exchange knowledge and best practices about topics like efficient property management, investments in innovation, new real estate-related care solutions and climate change risks and opportunities. These two editions in Belgium – focusing on the opportunities of sustainability in the healthcare sector – were a success with over 300 representatives attending.

6.4. Environmental Data Report to be published in June 2023

In the recently published 2022 Annual Report, Aedifica took one step further towards a fully integrated report by also integrating its CSR report. Aedifica will thus no longer publish a separate CSR report, but only an Environmental Data Report in June 2023 providing an update of the Company's environmental performance, including KPIs.

1 The figures in this table are rounded amounts. The sum of certain figures might therefore not correspond to the stated total. Amounts in £ and SEK were converted into € based on the exchange rate of 31 March 2023 (0.87954 €/£ and 11.25427 €/SEK).

2 Although still under construction, the sites 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 Part of the first framework agreement with Specht Gruppe. 4 Part of the second framework agreement with Specht Gruppe.

5 This project is being developed within the joint venture with Dunavast-Sonneborgh, in which Aedifica holds a 75% stake.

6 These projects are being developed within the joint venture with the Korian group. Aedifica and Korian will each finance 50% of the total budget. This table only considers the part of the budget that will be financed by Aedifica.

7 This project has already been completed after 31 March 2023 (see section 2.2 above).

Approx. €12 million need to be added to the total investment budget given the announcement of a new project in Spain after 31 March 2023 (see section 2.2 above). Of the total investment budget, €10 million has already been carried out since 31 March 2023, given the completion of two development projects (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.
