1.1.4.2 SUCCESSFUL INAUGURAL ISSUE OF SUSTAINABILITY BONDS FOR €32.5 MILLION

Care Property Invest has successfully completed its first debt capital markets transaction by means of a €32.5 million Sustainability Bonds Private Placement. The bonds have a maturity of 10 years, with coupons of 2.05%, which means that Care Property Invest is able to further extend its average debt maturity at a financing cost similar to its current average. The bonds were placed with an institutional investor, belonging to an international insurance group. With this transaction Care Property Invest secured financing to cover its existing commitments and planned capex for the next 12 months and demonstrates the diversification opportunities in funding that the Company has, as well as the confidence that the Company also enjoys among bond investors. The issue took place on 8 July 2021.

This issuance confirms Care Property Invest's commitment to sustainable development and further strengthening of its ESG strategy (Environmental, Social, and Governance). The Sustainability Bonds are issued under the newly established Sustainable Finance Framework of Care Property Invest, on which Care Property Invest obtained a positive Second Party Opinion provided by Sustainalytics. It is also confirmed that the

1.1.4.4 CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, there was no significant impact on the financial performance, both in 2020 and during the first three quarters of 2021, with regard to the global result statement as well as the balance sheet.

The overall increase of the occupancy rate in residential care centres and additional vaccination of residents work to the advantage of the operators. Obviously, Care Property Invest will continue to monitor the situation closely.

principles of this financing program are in line with the ICMA Green Bond Principles.

The net proceeds from these bonds are used exclusively to finance or refinance eligible sustainable assets as included in the Care Property Invest Sustainable Finance Framework. The assets provide direct environmental and social profit benefits and are required to meet the eligible criteria reported in the Sustainable Finance Framework, mapped on the project categories of the ICMA Green – and Social Bond Principles, the EU Environmental Objectives as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The allocation will be reported on in the 2021 Sustainability report which will contain the amount allocated, a breakdown on categories of eligible assets and a breakdown by country and a breakdown between financing and refinancing of eligible assets.

The bonds are listed on Euronext Growth Brussels and added to the Euronext ESG Bond Initiative.

Care Property Invest's Sustainable Finance Framework is consistent with amongst others the guidelines of the Green Bond Principles (ICMA, 2018), Social Bond Principles (ICMA, 2020) and the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (2018).

1.1.4.3 AWARD FOR SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING BY RECEIVING THE EPRA SBPR SILVER AWARD AND THE EPRA SBPR MOST IMPROVED AWARD AND FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING BY RECEIVING THE EPRA BPR GOLD AWARD

On 22 September 2021, Care Property Invest received both the EPRA sBPR Silver Award and the EPRA sBPR Most Improved Award. The Company is pleased with this recognition of the efforts made in the field of sustainability reporting.

On 22 September 2021, the Company also received the EPRA BPR Gold Award for the fifth consecutive time for its continued high level of transparency in its financial reporting.

The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 22,768,748 as at 30 September 2020 and increased to 25,804,456 shares as at 30 September 2021. The number of shares amounted to 24,110,034 as at 30 September 2020 (including 878 treasury shares) and increased to 25,806,148 shares as at 30 September 2021 (including 1,692 treasury shares).

The number of shares changed as a result of the contribution in kind of 'Résidence des Ardennes', located in Attert, on 20 January 2021 for which 1,696,114 new shares were issued. This resulted in an increase of €10,091,030 of the item capital and €31,996,775 of the item share premium.

The gross return is calculated in table '2.2 Net result per share on a consolidated basis' by dividing the net result per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495) on the one hand and the market value on the closing date on the other hand. In table '2.3 Components of the net result', the gross yield is calculated by dividing the adjusted EPRA earnings per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495), on the one hand, and the market capitalisation on the closing date, on the other. The share price was €26.60 on 30 September 2021 and €27.65 on 30 September 2020. There are no instruments that have a potentially dilutive effect on the net result per share.

Notes to the global result statement

Operating result

The Company's operating result increased by 54.41% compared to 30 September 2020.

Rental income as at 30 September 2021 increased by 19.74% compared to the same period last year. The increase in rental income can be explained, besides indexation, by the additional rental income following (i) the acquisition of new investment properties and (ii) the completion of development projects in 2021. The acquired investment properties during 2020 also contribute to the increased rental income in 2021.

As at 30 September 2021, the Company had no outstanding rent receivables for which receivables had to be transferred to the doubtful debtors.

The Company's general expenses

increased by €486,828 compared to 30 September 2020. This increase can be fully attributed to the increase in remuneration as the average workforce increased from 13.88 FTEs as at 30 September 2020 to 20.48 FTEs as at 30 September 2021.

Other operating income and expenses

decreased from €1,024,256 as at 30 September 2020 to €9,206 as at 30 September 2021. The decrease is due to the completion of the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' project in Middelkerke, which generated significant revenue in 2020.

As at 30 September 2021, this item consists mainly of the fee for project management of €573,297, which largely concerns the recovery of the pre-financing of existing Dutch projects, contributing to the Company's cash result and the profit and loss margin for these projects of €-638,481. The latter concerns a non-cash element which is corrected for the calculation of the adjusted EPRA earnings.

The variations in the fair value of

investment properties amount to €10,283,293 as at 30 September 2021. The increase reflects an overall positive variation in the fair value of the investment properties in portfolio and, in addition to this general trend, can be attributed to the variations in fair value of the acquisitions in 2021 and the completion of the 'Nuance' project in Vorst (Belgium). Also here it concerns unrealised variations that are corrected in the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Financial result

Interest charges rose as a result of the additional raising of external funds to finance the acquisitions that took place in the course of 2020 and 2021 on the one hand, and to finance ongoing project developments on the other. The weighted average interest rate amounts to 1.96% as at 30 September 2021. This is a significant decrease compared to the weighted average interest rate of 2.13% as at 30 September 2020.

This is due to a lower marginal interest rate that the Company has to pay on new debts that it enters into.

The financial result was positively influenced by the inclusion of the fair value of the financial instruments concluded. Due to an increase in market interest rates, a positive value of €9,020,805 was obtained as at 30 September 2021. As a result, the total impact to date is €-19,352,327 compared to €-27,975,990 as at 31 December 2020.

The variation in fair value of financial assets and liabilities is a non-cash element and is therefore not taken into account for the calculation of the distributable result, i.e., the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Taxes

The amount of taxes as at 30 September 2021 includes the estimated and prepaid corporate income taxes as well as the modification of the calculated exit tax of the subsidiaries.

Adjusted EPRA earnings

The adjusted EPRA earnings on a consolidated basis amounted to €20,410,375 as at 30 September 2021 compared to €16,759,030 as at 30 September 2020. This represents an increase of 21.79%. The adjusted EPRA earnings per share rose from €0.7361 as at 30 September 2020 to 0.7910 as at 30 September 2021. This represents an increase of 7.46% and is lower than the increase in total adjusted EPRA earnings due to the increase in the number of issued shares.

Notes to the consolidated balance sheet

Investment Properties

The Company's property portfolio increased by €134,239,450 in 2021 due to the acquisition of investment properties, namely the projects 'Résidence des Ardennes' in Attert (BE), 'Emera Almeria' in Almeria (ES) and 'Forum Mare Nostrum I' in Alfaz del Pi (ES) and the development projects, namely the projects 'Amstel' in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel (NL) and 'Emera Mostoles' in Madrid (ES). The increase can also be explained by the further development of the projects 'De Orangerie' in Nijmegen (NL), 'Margaritha Maria Kerk' in Tilburg (NL), 'Sterrenwacht' in Middelburg (NL), 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (NL), 'St. Josephkerk' in Hillegom (NL), 'De Gouden Leeuw' in Zutphen (NL), 'Aldenborgh' in Roermond (NL), 'Villa Vught' in Vught (NL), 'Mariënhaven' in Warmond (NL), 'Huize Elsrijk' in Amstelveen (NL) and 'Emera Carabanchel' in Madrid (ES).

The projects 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (NL) and 'De Gouden Leeuw' in Zutphen (NL) were completed in the first semester of 2021. The church building of the 'Margaritha Maria Kerk' project in Tilburg (NL) was completed during the 3rd quarter.

The real estate experts confirm the fair value of the property portfolio at a total amount of €666.7 million (excluding €1.4 million in rights in rem). The fair value is equal to the investment value (or the value deed-in-hand, being the value in which all acquisition costs were included) from which the transaction costs were deducted for an amount of 2.5% for the real estate in Belgium and 6.5% for the real estate in The Netherlands. For real estate in Spain, these are determined by the region where the property is located.

Other tangible fixed assets

As at 30 September 2021, this item contains €3,763,465 of 'tangible fixed assets for own use'. The increase compared to 31 December 2020 is explained by the further development of the head office in Schoten.

Finance lease receivables

The item 'finance lease receivables' includes all final building rights fees that were due for repayment at the end of the contract for the 76 projects in the initial portfolio and during the term of the contract for the projects 'Hof ter Moere' in Moerbeke (BE), 'Hof Driane' in Herenthout (BE), 'Residentie De Anjers' in Balen (BE), 'De Nieuwe Ceder' in Deinze (BE) and 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' in Middelkerke (BE).

Unlike the projects in the initial portfolio, for the aforementioned reason, the ground rent for the projects in Moerbeke, Herenthout, Balen, Deinze and Middelkerke consists, not only of a revenue component, but also of a repayment of the investment value, as a result of which the amount of the receivable will gradually decrease over the term of the leasehold agreement. The fair value of the financial leases amounted to €271,201,296 as at 30 September 2021.

Trade receivables regarding the projects included in the item 'Finance lease receivables'

The difference between the nominal value of the building lease payments (included under the heading 'finance lease receivables') and the fair value, which at the time of making available is calculated by discounting future cash flows, is included under 'trade receivables' and is depreciated on an annual basis.

Debts and liabilities

As at 30 September 2021, the Company has an MTN programme at Belfius (arranger) amounting to €300 million with dealers Belfius and KBC. The Company has set up the necessary backup lines for this purpose. As at 30 September 2021, the amount already drawn amounts to €91.0 million in commercial paper and €21.0 million in bonds.

Amounts in EUR 30/09/2021 31/12/2020
Average remaining term of financial debt 6.69 6.33
Nominal amount of current and non-current financial debts 416,223,709 330,582,772

Nominal amount of derivative instruments 156,626,042 156,914,042
Fair value of hedging instruments -19,352,327 -27,975,990

(1) The weighted average interest rate refers to interest rates after conversion of variable interest rates to fixed interest rates through swaps.

On 26 June 2021, the Company successfully announced its first transaction on the debt capital market through a private placement of €32.5 million in Sustainability Bonds. The bonds, which were issued on 8 July 2021, have a maturity of 10 years, with coupons of 2.05%, meaning that Care Property Invest has further extended its average debt maturity at financing costs comparable to its weighted average interest rate at the time of issue. The bonds were placed with an institutional investor, which is part of an international insurance group. The net proceeds of these bonds are used exclusively for the (re) financing of eligible sustainable assets as included in the Care Property Invest Sustainable Finance Framework. This transaction offers the Company further diversification in terms of credit providers and provides hedging in the medium term.

To hedge its debts with a floating interest rate, the Company also uses interest rate swaps. As at 30 September 2021, the Company has hedged 95.47% of its debts, either by means of an interest rate swap or by means of a fixed interest rate.

The consolidated debt ratio, calculated in accordance with Article 13, §1, 2° of the RREC Decree, was 48.83% as at 30 September 2021. The available margin for further investments and completion of the developments already acquired before reaching a debt ratio of 60% amounts to €247.7 million as at 30 September 2021.

The other non-current liabilities amount to €1,940,714 and have remained virtually unchanged since 31 December 2020. They concern the debts relating to the rights in rem for the projects 'La Résidence du Lac' in Genval (BE), 'Residentie De Anjers' in Balen (BE) and 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (NL), which are included in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.

The commercial debts and other current liabilities amounted to €6,202,546 as at 30 September 2021, compared with €12,096,802 as at 31 December 2020, which was considerably higher than usual. An important part of this related to invoices still to be received for the projects 'Mariënhaven' in Warmond (NL) and 'Villa Vught' in Vught (NL), which were acquired shortly before year-end. These amounts were settled in the course of January 2021.

The other current liabilities increased in comparison to 31 December 2020 to an amount of €6,092,190 and relate to short-term liabilities with respect to development projects. A significant part of this increase can be explained by an amount that was still withheld after the purchase of the 'Forum Mare Nostrum I' project in Alfaz del Pi (ES).

3. Outlook

The debt ratio is calculated in accordance with Section 13, paragraph 1, bullet 2 of the RREC-RD (Royal Decree regarding Regulated Real Estate Companies) and amounts to 48.83% as at 30 September 2021. In view of the fact that Care Property Invest's debt ratio does not exceed 50%, it is not subject to mandatory submission of a financial plan as referred to in Section 24 of the RREC Royal Decree.

3.1 Assumptions

On the basis of the balance sheet and the global result statement for the financial year 2020 and the first three quarters of 2021, a forecast has been made for the following financial years, in accordance with the Company's accounting policy and in a manner comparable to the historical financial information.

The following hypotheses are used as points of view:

Assumptions regarding factors that can be influenced by the members of the Company's administrative, management and supervisory bodies directly:

  • Increase in the Company's operating expenses;
  • For the time being, new projects are financed using own resources from operating activities and additional new credit lines, or the revenue from issuing commercial paper;
  • The financial costs are in line with the increase in financing during the 2020 financial year and the first three quarters of 2021.
  • Additional financing costs for acquisitions in the last quarter of 2021 were also taken into account.

Assumptions regarding factors that cannot be influenced by the members of the Company's administrative, management and supervisory bodies directly:

  • Rental income was increased by the annual indexation and the impact of new investments;
  • Further fluctuations in the fair value of both the investment properties and the financial instruments have not been included as they are difficult to predict and, moreover, have no impact on the result to be distributed. In the context of the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the Company does not see any impact on the fair value of investments properties to date. However, the increased volatility of interest rates may have an impact on the fair value of financial instruments;
  • Care Property Invest expects no impact from any doubtful debt;
  • Due to the 'triple net' nature(1) of the agreement, no maintenance costs were taken into account for the investment properties. In spite of the fact that the finance lease agreements also concern 'triple net' agreements, a limited provision was created for these agreements.

3.2 Conclusion on debt ratio outlook

Based on the aforementioned assumptions, the Company still has sufficient margin to make additional investments before the maximum debt ratio of 65% is exceeded on a consolidated basis. The consolidated debt ratio as calculated in accordance with Section 13 of the GVV-KB amounts to 48.83% as at 30 September 2021.

The Company forecasts an increase in the debt ratio during the financial year 2021 based on additional investments and further completion of the projects currently in development.

The board of directors evaluates its liquidity needs in due time and may, in order to prevent the maximum debt ratio from being reached, consider a capital increase, which might include a contribution in kind.

3.3 Conclusion on outlook for dividends and distributable results

Taking into account the uncertainty of the current economic situation and its impact on Care Property Invest's results, the Company would have no obligation to distribute a compensation for the capital in the event of a negative result. Based on the current contracts, which will still generate income for an average of 16.06

The Company maintains its EPS guidance of €1.04 and its DPS guidance of €0.84.

years, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company assumes an increase in the distributable result and the dividend payment for the 2021 financial year. The Company's solvency is supported by the stable value of its real estate projects.

The Company therefore maintains its guidance on rental income of approximately €43 million which given the current circumstances would result in an increased adjusted EPRA result per share of €1.04. This remains unchanged from the guidance given in the 2021 Half-Yearly Financial Report.

Care Property Invest intends to pay a gross dividend of €0.84 per share for the 2021 financial year, which remains unchanged from the guidance given in the 2021 Half-Yearly Financial Report. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this will result in a net dividend of €0.71 per share.

4. Main risks and uncertainties for the remaining months of the financial year

The Company's activities are performed in an economic climate that involves risks. In the opinion of the board of directors, the risk factors and uncertainties as described in the Company's 2020 Annual Financial Report from page 8 to 21, remain valid for the remaining quarter of the 2021 financial year. The 2020 Annual Financial Report is available on the Company's website, www. carepropertyinvest.be.

(1) With the exception of the project 'Les Terrasses du Bois' in Watermaal-Bosvoorde, for which a long-term 'double net' agreement was concluded. For this project, the risk of the maintenance costs is incurred by Care Property Invest.
