1. Summary of activities during the 2020 financial year

Strategy

Care Property Invest was founded on 30 October 1995. As the first listed property investor in Belgium in 1996, it strongly focused on growing the Company and its property portfolio in 2020.

As a result, ambitions and expectations for the financial year 2020 were sky-high. Care Property Invest was fully committed to realising its targets, making a giant step in terms of reinforcing its portfolio, visibility and naturally also in terms of its results.

Real estate

The Company was able to announce approximately €250 million in additional investments to its portfolio. This, combined with the completion of the current developments and the occurrence of an overall increase in the fair value of its portfolio, resulted in a total fair value of the property portfolio as at 31 December 2020 of approximately €822 million(1).

With its entry onto the Spanish market in 2020, Care Property Invest has continued to work on its geographical distribution. Within Europe, Spain is one of the countries where ageing has the greatest impact. Also in The Netherlands, 8 new projects were acquired in the course of 2020, bringing the total number of projects in this country to 18.

Financial

In 2020, Care Property Invest reached the threshold of approximately €36.2 million in rental income, an increase of approximately 22.8% compared to the previous financial year. As a result of this increase in rental income, the adjusted EPRA earnings increased from €18.7 million for FY 2019 to €23.0 million for FY 2020, an increase of almost 22.8%. Care Property Invest was therefore able to more than meet its targets and realised adjusted EPRA earnings of €0.9937 per share which will lead to the proposal to increase the dividend by 3.9% (from €0.77 per share for the 2019 financial year to € 0.80 per share of the 2020 financial year), and this despite the increase in the number of shares entitled to dividend as a result of the 3 capital increases that took place in 2020.

(1) (i) The investment properties are included at fair value in the balance sheet in accordance with IAS 40, the finance lease receivables are included at cost in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.

(ii) The share in % compared to the total property portfolio of the finance lease receivables (IFRS 16) according to the balance sheet values is 28% as at 31 December 2020, the share in % compared to the total property portfolio (IAS 40) according to the balance sheet values is 72% as at 31 December 2020.

(iii) The value of the finance lease receivables included in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2020 amounts to €203,022,336. The fair value of the finance lease receivables amounts to €287,828,166 as at 31 December 2020. The fair value of the finance lease receivables is a mandatory clarification (IFRS 16)

Improved transparency of financial reporting

In September 2020, Care Property Invest's reporting efforts have been rewarded for the fourth time in a row with an EPRA BPR Gold Award.

Outlook

The Company aims to continue this growth process in 2021, and aims for a further increase of its results, looking at existing and new markets.

For example, the Company expects rental income to increase to at least €43 million by the end of 2021.

An increase in adjusted EPRA earnings to €1.00 per share and an increase in the dividend to be paid from €0.80 per share to a minimum of €0.82 for financial year 2021 are also expected.

Care Property Invest's ambitions for 2021 and beyond are therefore high.

This year, Care Property Invest is celebrating a quarter century of listing on Euronext Brussels and we would like to thank our shareholders once again for their confidence, our customers for their belief in the added value Care Property Invest brings to their project and, of course, our employees for their dynamic commitment to achieving the Company's objectives.

Care Property Invest's ambition is to become the ultimate reference in the health care property market and to realise accelerated growth.

2. Care building in complete confidence

REAL ESTATE STRATEGY A growing market

Its current strategy for residential healthcare real estate for senior citizens is based on the progressive ageing of the population which, according to the Federal Planning Bureau, will peak by 2070. Now and in the coming decades, this will lead to an increasing demand for healthcare real estate with social added value. A similar trend also applies to The Netherlands and Spain in terms of population ageing figures. For more details, we refer to the graphs below, which show the demographic evolution in Belgium, The Netherlands and Spain.

The guaranteed demographic evolution in combination with its growth strategy, the implementation of its corporate purpose and the fact that as a RREC it invests for 100% in health care real estate, ensures that its share always provides a stable return for its shareholders, and this at a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% (instead of the general rate of 30%).

Care Property Invest spreads its risks by ensuring a good geographic market distribution of its real estate, diversifying between the operators of its real estate and by creating a good balance between public-private and private partnerships. This was, among other things, also a major motivator for the Company to make its move onto the Dutch healthcare property market in 2018 and also onto the Spanish healthcare property market in 2020.

DEMOGRAPHIC EVOLUTION SPANISH POPULATION(1)

CUSTOMISED QUALITY REAL ESTATE

The careful selection of new projects for the Company always takes place after a detailed risk analysis with a well-founded assessment by the Company's Board of Directors, after the Company's Executive Committee has had an initial discussion about the investment projects.

This may involve the Company developing the property itself, or building and funding the construction, but may also involve refinancing or acquiring existing buildings, with an option of renovation or expansion, both in the private and the public market.

The main selection criteria are presented below:

  • Correct price-quality ratio of the project;
  • Potential returns of the project;
  • Solvency, reputation and spread of operators;
  • Good location of the project: easy access, both by car and by public transport and absence of other health care real estate. For this purpose, an extensive market research is always carried out.
  • Environment: in the immediate vicinity of a village/city centre with shops, pharmacies and catering facilities;
  • The property complies with high quality standards in combination with advanced technological equipment and perfectly meets the needs of the Care Property Invest target public.

In essence, Care Property Invest's strategy is of the 'buy and hold' type, and as such, is by definition aimed at keeping the property in the long term.

FINANCIAL STRATEGY

Management of investor and stakeholder relations

Care Property Invest aims to develop a continual dialogue with the healthcare sector, the government, potential and current investors, credit providers and more in general all stakeholders.

The Company attempts to align its financial strategy with the overall strategy and growth achieved by the Company. By continuously expanding its scale, the Company strives for a competitive distribution of debt and capital costs and an improvement of its operating margin.

Origin of financial sources

Care Property Invest aims to finance itself in the best possible way, making use of shareholders' equity and borrowed funds.

Equity

Equity is raised by using the capital market. By means of capital increases in cash and in kind, counterbalanced by immediately profitable assets and/or a concrete pipeline, growth in earnings per share can be ensured and maintained.

Care Property Invest strives for a permanent dialogue with investors, directly and indirectly. By organising or participating in roadshows and trade fairs at home and abroad, it builds a permanent dialogue with both institutional and private investors.

As a RREC, Care Property Invest is fully aware of the importance of its dividend policy for its shareholders. The Company therefore endeavours to increase its dividend whenever this is sustainably possible. This prevents the Company from having to reduce this again in a later financial year.

Given the Company's strong growth, it attempts to allocate as much of its profits as possible so it can be reinvested within the legal framework. In doing so, the Company strives for a pay-out ratio (distribution rate of the dividend per share compared to the earnings per share) that comes as close as possible to the legal minimum of 80%, while at the same time striving for a sustainable increase in the dividend. It also examines the possibility of an optional dividend.

Despite the already improved liquidity of its share, Care Property Invest is still in the process of increasing this further in order to boost the attractiveness of its share. To this end, it appointed KBC Securities as second liquidity provider in November 2018, following the appointment of Bank Degroof Petercam as liquidity provider in February 2018.

The appointment of these liquidity providers results in smaller price fluctuations and thus a steadier share price and a smaller bid-ask spread.

Foreign funds

The foreign funds were raised as diversified as possible. This allows the risk on the banking counterparty to be limited. Care Property Invest aims for a further spread of its lenders both domestically and internationally.

In order to further diversify the origins of its sources of borrowed funds, the Company also has an MTN programme in place with Belfius that offers the possibility of issuing bonds and commercial papers. In the financial year 2018, the Company raised the ceiling of this programme from €50 million to €100 million and opted for the appointment of KBC as additional dealer in order to limit the placement risk. In 2020, the ceiling of the programme was further raised to €200 million. The Company disposes of the necessary lines for the portion of the commercial paper offering the necessary coverage, in order not to increase the liquidity risk.

Care Property Invest tries to further limit its liquidity risk by keeping sufficient credit lines available for its short-term needs and the financing of additional investments over the current financial year.

In addition, there is also a liquidity risk if the Company would no longer respect the covenants linked to these credit agreements. These covenants contain market-based provisions on, among other things, the debt ratio and compliance with the provisions of the RREC Legislation. Care Property Invest monitors the parameters of these covenants on a regular basis and whenever a new investment is being considered.

At the end of the financial year, Care Property Invest did not mortgage or pledge any building in its real estate portfolio.

Correct financing is necessary for a profitable and solid business model, in view of the capital-intensive character of the sector in which the Company operates and the Company's buy-and-hold strategy. As a result, the Company has a structural debt position with mainly bullet loans. The investment loans that the Company pays off are mainly loans that had already been contracted by subsidiaries prior to acquisition and that the Company acquired with the acquisition of the shares of the subsidiary. The cash position held permanently by the Company is limited.

The Company's long-term objective is to have a debt ratio between 50% and 55%. This debt ratio allows for an optimal balance between own and foreign resources and also offers the possibility of taking advantage of investment opportunities.

The Company also tries to limit the interest rate risk on its debts by striving for a hedging percentage of its debts between 75% and 80%. The Company closely monitors developments on the financial markets in order to optimise its financial structure and to obtain a good composition of short and long-term financing and the conclusion of derivative contracts in order to achieve the desired hedging percentage. The Company also aims to take into account the long-term income from its investments in the average duration of its loans.

Low risk and resilient sources of income through long-term leasehold and rental contracts

By contracting long-term leasehold and rental agreements, the Company creates long-term cash flows. Through the triple net character(1) of these contracts with solid operators and the transfer of the risk of voids to the operator (apart from the investment in Gullegem), the Company succeeds in maintaining a low risk profile. The fact that on 31 December 2020 almost 45% of the rental income comes from agreements with local authorities, reinforces the low risk profile and makes the Company unique compared to other RRECs.

This applies all the more since the healthcare real estate is linked to the demographic factors which, in view of the underlying demographic trend of the ageing of the population, are favourable, rather than to economic trends.

(1) With the exception of the project 'Les Terrasses du Bois' in Watermaal Bosvoorde, for which a long-term agreement of the 'double net' type has been concluded.

3.1.4.3. CAPITAL INCREASE IN KIND

On 15 January 2020, Care Property Invest acquired the projects 'La Reposée' and 'New Beaugency' in Mons and Bernissart by means of a contribution in kind of the land and real estate into the capital of Care Property Invest within the framework of the authorised capital. The transaction led to a strengthening of the equity of €33,594,044 of which an amount of €7,439,112 was allocated to the item capital and an amount of €26,154,932 to the item share premiums. The contribution was remunerated by 1,250,376 new shares. The shares were issued at a stipulated issue price of €26.87 per share.

3.1.4.4. OPTIONAL DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors of Care Property Invest decided on 27 May 2020 to offer the shareholders the possibility of an optional dividend. Shareholders had the choice to (i) either contribute the net dividend receivable in the capital of the Company, against the issue of new ordinary shares, (ii) receive the dividend in cash, (iii) or opt for a combination of the two previous options.

At the end of the option period the Company confirmed that a total of 52% of the net dividend rights attached to the shares with coupon No. 11 (for the dividend for the 2019 financial year) have been exchanged for new shares of Care Property Invest.

For this purpose, 273,091 new ordinary shares were issued at a fixed issue price of €25.53 per share, within the framework of the authorised capital, for a total issue amount of €6,970,784 (1,624,755 in capital and €5,346,029 in issue premium). Consequently, on 19 June 2020 the share capital of Care Property Invest was represented by 21,918,213 shares. Dividend rights that have not been contributed, representing a total net amount of €6,377,578, were paid out in cash.

3.1.4.5. CAPITAL INCREASE IN CASH (ABB)

On 23 June 2020, Care Property Invest completed a capital increase by means of an accelerated private placement with composition of an order book (accelerated bookbuild offering) with international institutional investors, removing the legal preferential subscription right of, and without granting an irreducible allocation right to, the existing shareholders. The Company did this in order to be able to finance further investments within the framework of its growth plan.

It issued 2,191,821 new shares (representing approximately 10% of the Company's outstanding shares upon completion of the offering) at an issue price of €27.25 per share.

3.1.4.8. EXPANSION MTN PROGRAMME

3.1.4.9. ESTABLISHMENT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

On 15 June 2020, the Company's extraordinary meeting of shareholders abolished the possibility of delegating operational management to a Management Committee (formerly article 28 of the articles of association) and approved the amendment to article 27 of the articles of association whereby the Board of Directors may delegate the daily management as well as the representation with regard to the daily management of the Company to an Executive Committee consisting of at least three members. Each member of the Executive Committee will also be referred to as the 'managing director'.

In accordance with the amended articles of association, the Board of Directors decided, with effect from 15 June 2020, to transfer the daily management as well as the representation with regard to the daily management of the Company to an Executive Committee composed of at least three members, in accordance with the amended articles of association. The Board of Directors appointed the following persons as members of the Executive Board: Mr Peter Van Heukelom (CEO), Mr Dirk Van den Broeck, Mr Willy Pintens, Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck (CFO) and Ms Valérie Jonkers (COO). Since these persons have also been appointed as directors, they all also bear the title of managing director.

3.1.4.10. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 and the measures taken to contain the virus do not have a significant impact on the financial performance of 2020.

3.1.4.10.1. IMPACT ON THE GLOBAL RESULT STATEMENT 3.1.4.10.1.1. RENTAL INCOME

Care Property Invest currently has no backlog of contractual rent payments due as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, nor any rent-free periods or rent reductions granted to its tenants. Despite the fact that overall there was a lower effective occupancy in the residential care centres in 2020, they have always remained operational with strict precautions and the COVID-19 crisis has therefore not had any impact on the payment of rental fees by the operators to the Company. On the one hand, the explanation can be found in the limited decrease in actual occupancy in general, which has risen again over the entire portfolio since the summer and the end of the admissions freeze. On the other hand the explanation lies in the qualitative tenant base of the Company and the governmental support for the sector in the regions and countries where the Company is active. Nevertheless, Care Property Invest continues to closely monitor the actual occupancy rate and the progress of the vaccinations of residents of residential care centres, which is considered a priority.

3.1.4.10.1.2. RESULT AND DIVIDEND PER SHARE

Despite the outbreak of the virus, the adjusted EPRA earnings per share of €0.99 exceeded the guidance of €0.93 given by Care Property Invest in the press release published on 18 March 2020 for the 2020 financial year and the increased guidance of €0.96 given in the half yearly report on 1 September 2020. The dividend remains unchanged at €0.80. Care Property Invest would like to point out that the dividend for the 2020 financial year is split into two coupons: coupon no. 12 (representing an amount of €0.32) and coupon no. 13 (representing an amount of €0.48) and that these two coupons will be paid after the ordinary general meeting of shareholders for the 2020 financial year, which will take place on 26 May 2021. The payment date will then be 28 May 2021 (unless the Company decides to offer an optional dividend, in which case payment of the dividend will take place after the option period).

3.1.4.10.2. IMPACT ON THE BALANCE SHEET 3.1.4.10.2.1. VALUATION OF THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

The valuation reports of the external independent valuation experts for the financial year 2020 for the entire portfolio of investment properties show a constant trend. There is no question of a downward revaluation of the portfolio of investment properties as a result of the COVID-19 crisis as at 31 December 2020. Globally, there was even an upward revaluation of the entire portfolio amounting to €2,598,197.

3.1.4.10.2.2. DEBT RATIO

As at 31 December 2020, Care Property Invest's debt ratio was 46.31%. Despite the COVID-19 crisis and record investments, the Company thus succeeded, by means of a contribution in kind, the offering of an optional dividend and a capital increase by means of accelerated private placement with composition of an order book, in reducing its debt ratio compared to the beginning of the financial year (as at 31 December 2019 the debt ratio was 49.32%). The available margin up to a debt ratio of 60%, which Care Property Invest has agreed with its credit providers in covenants as a maximum debt ratio, amounts to €256.5 million. The principal amount of loans to be repaid in the 2021 financial year is only €33.2 million of which €3.2 million actually has to be repaid and the remainder can be rolled over at the Company's request.

Care Property Invest has an MTN programme of €200 million. As at 31 December 2020, Care Property Invest had €92 million outstanding as commercial paper, which was more than 100% covered by specific, associated back-up lines. Care Property Invest would like to point out that it can still roll over commercial paper at a total cost to the company of 10 bp.

As at 31 December 2020, Care Property Invest has approximately €225 million of confirmed undrawn credit lines of which € 110 million are specific back-up lines for the MTN programme. The fact that Care Property Invest continues to have access to additional credit facilities demonstrates the confidence that credit providers have in Care Property Invest, its business and its management.

The Company's development pipeline includes several projects in The Netherlands and 1 project in Spain.

Construction activities have continued in The Netherlands since the outbreak while respecting the measures imposed by the Dutch government to contain the COVID-19 virus. The delays specifically caused by the COVID-19 crisis remain difficult to quantify but seem rather limited. The delivery of a large number of projects is foreseen in the coming months and therefore these will contribute to an increase in rental income. The project in Spain was started in the second half of 2020 and is currently on schedule. The Company monitors the projects closely and communicates in a timely manner if certain deadlines are not met.

3.1.4.10.3. FUTURE IMPACT

For 2021, the Company thus had a solid basis in terms of liquidity and debt ratio. The contribution in kind of the project 'Résidence des Ardennes' in Attert and the increase of the MTN programme to €300 million at the beginning of 2021 further strengthen the Company's position. Nevertheless, developments in the sector and among tenants are closely monitored, as well as the broader impact of the COVID-19 crisis and the measures and vaccination strategy. In the longer term, the demand for healthcare real estate driven by demographic developments remains unaffected by the COVID-19 crisis. This crisis has only underlined the importance of good care for the elderly.

3.1.4.11. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

On 18 November 2020, Care Property Invest announced that the Board of Directors has decided to continue the share buy-back programme announced on 8 April 2019 for a total amount of up to €180,000 to acquire up to 6,000 shares, within the limits of the (renewed) authorisation to buy back own shares granted by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of 15 June 2020. The purpose of the buy-back programme is to enable Care Property Invest to meet its obligations arising from share purchase plans for the benefit of the executive management of Care Property Invest.

Care Property Invest acknowledges the need to have an active and committed management that is also responsible for the further expansion and integration of the investments made. Based on previous experience and current market practices and trends, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors are also convinced that the engagement and involvement of the management increases if it can participate in the capital of Care Property Invest, thus aligning the interests of the management with those of the Company and its shareholders. This method of remuneration is therefore in line with the principles of good corporate governance pursued by the Company. After all, linking an appropriate part of the remuneration package to performance is also explicitly included in the Corporate Governance Code. Care Property Invest applies the provisions and guidelines of this Code in full to its longterm incentive plan. The buy-back programme will be carried out by an independent broker in accordance with the applicable regulations regarding the purchase of own shares.

On 30 November 2020, Care Property Invest announced that, in accordance with Article 8:4 of the Royal Decree of 29 April 2019 implementing the BCCA, it had purchased 6,000 own shares on Euronext Brussels. The shares were purchased at an average price (rounded) of €27.74 per share.

The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 20,389,088 as at 31 December 2019 and increased to 23,105,198 shares as at 31 December 2020. The number of shares amounted to 20,394,746 as at 31 December 2019 (including 5,658 treasury shares) and increased to 24,110,034 shares as at 31 December 2020 (including 6,878 treasury shares).

The number of shares changed as a result of (i) a capital increase in kind for the purchase of the residential care centres with assisted living apartments 'La Reposée' and 'New Beaugency', located in Mons and Bernissart respectively, for which 1,250,376 shares were issued on 15 January 2020, (ii) an optional dividend for the financial year 2019 which was successfully completed on 19 June 2020 and led to the issue of 273,091 new shares and (iii) a capital increase in cash through an accelerated private placement for which 2,191,821 new shares were issued on 25 June 2020. The shares issued under (i) are entitled to dividends for the entire 2020 financial year (coupon 12 et seq.), those issued under (ii) and (iii) share in the result as of 29 May 2020 (coupon 13 et seq.).

Following the contribution in kind of 'Résidence des Ardennes', located in Attert, on 20 January 2021, 1,696,114 new shares were issued so that the total number of shares is currently 25,806,148. This led to an increase of €10,091,030 in the capital item and € 31,996,775 in the share premium item.

The gross return is calculated in table '6.2. 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 '6.3. 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 € 26.90 on 31 December 2020 and € 29.50 on 31 December 2019. 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 decreased by 8.55% compared to 31 December 2019.

Rental income as at 31 December 2020 increased by 22.80% compared to the same period last year. The increase in rental income from investment properties can be explained, besides indexation, by the additional rental income following the acquisition of new investment properties during 2020. The acquired investment properties in the course of 2019 also contribute to the increased rental income in 2020.

The increase in income from financial leases can be explained, in addition to indexation, by the completion of the 'De Nieuwe Ceder' project in Deinze in 2019 and the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' project in Middelkerke at the beginning of 2020.

As at 31 December 2020, the Company had no significant outstanding rent receivables, which meant that no receivables had to be transferred to the doubtful debtors. Therefore, in 2020 the Company remained free from any impact on rental income collection as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

The Company's general expenses increased by €2,288,025 compared to 31 December 2019. The increase is explained by the adjustment in the provision for management bonuses already implemented in the first quarter, as well as an increase in external advice in connection to the entry onto the Spanish market. In addition, the workforce increased from 12.26 FTEs on 31 December 2019 to 15.02 FTEs on 31 December 2020.

Other operating income and expenses decreased from €1,618,430 on 31 December 2019 to €1,362,430 on 31 December 2020. The decrease is due to the completion of the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers" project in Middelkerke.

The largest operating cost related to the projects concerns the construction cost of €499,029, which is capitalised through the item 'other operating income'. In addition, this item consists of the project management fee of €1,529,761 for the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' project in Middelkerke and the 'De Nieuwe Ceder' project in Deinze and the profit and loss margin for these projects of €-122,836. 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 €2,598,197 as at 31 December 2020. This is a more limited increase in fair value related to those as per 31 December 2019, which can largely be attributed to the delayed progress of the development projects. Also here it concerns unrealised variations that are corrected in the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Financial result

Interest charges have increased as a result of raising additional borrowings, in addition to the capital increases mentioned above, to finance the acquisitions that took place in the course of 2020. The weighted average interest rate as at 31 December 2020 is 2.22% This is a significant decrease compared to the weighted average interest rate of 2.35% as at 31 December 2019.

The financial result was negatively influenced by the inclusion of the fair value of the financial instruments concluded. Due to a decrease in interest rates and the conclusion of 4 additional IRS's, despite the further expiry of the term of existing financial instruments, a negative value of €5,358,254 was obtained as at 31 December 2020. As a result, the total impact to date amounts to €-27,975,990 compared to €-22,617,736 as at 31 December 2019.

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 31 December 2020 includes the estimated and prepaid corporate income taxes as well as the modification of the calculated exit tax of the subsidiaries. The positive balance of the exit tax as at 31 December 2019 was due to the impact of the reduced exit tax rate of 12.75%, which has increased again to 15% as from fiscal year 2021.

Adjusted EPRA earnings

The adjusted EPRA earnings on a consolidated basis amounted to €22,959,461 on 31 December 2020 compared to €18,703,252 on 31 December 2019. This represents an increase of 22.76%. The adjusted EPRA earnings per share rose from € 0.9173 on 31 December 2019 to € 0.9937 on 31 December 2020 which represents an increase of 8.33% and is lower due to the increase in the number of issued shares. The Company thus exceeded the forecasts it had communicated at the beginning of the financial year.

The Company's property portfolio increased by €176,608,851 in 2020, thanks to the acquisition of the investment properties, being the projects 'La Reposée' in Mons (Belgium), 'New Beaugency' in Bernissart (Belgium) 'De Wand' in Laeken (Belgium), 'Keymolen' in Lennik (Belgium), 'Westduin' in Westende (Belgium), 'De Meerlhorst' in Heemstede (The Netherlands), 'Het Witte Huis' in Oegstgeest (The Netherlands), 'Villa Oranjepark' in Oegstgeest (The Netherlands) and 'Boarnsterhim State' in Aldeboarn (The Netherlands) and the development projects, being 'Aldenborgh' in Roermond (The Netherlands), 'Villa Vught' in Vught (The Netherlands), 'Mariënhaven' in Warmond (The Netherlands), 'Huize Elsrijk' in Amstelveen (The Netherlands) and 'Emera Carabanchel' in Madrid (Spain). The increase is also the result of the completion of the project 'Nuance' in Vorst (Belgium) and the further development of the projects 'De Orangerie' in Nijmegen (The Netherlands), 'Margaritha Maria Kerk' in Tilburg (The Netherlands), 'Sterrenwacht' in Middelburg (The Netherlands), 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (The Netherlands), 'St. Josephkerk' in Hillegom (The Netherlands) and 'De Gouden Leeuw' in Zutphen (The Netherlands).

The real estate experts confirm the fair value of the property portfolio at a total amount of €532.4 million (excluding €1.4 million in rights in rem). The fair value is equal to the investment value (or the registered value including all acquisition costs) from which the transaction duties 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 regionally.

Other tangible fixed assets

As at 31 December 2020, this item contains €2,246,034 of 'tangible fixed assets for own use'. The finance lease receivables' relating to projects in progress have been transferred to finance lease receivables after the completion of the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' project in Middelkerke.

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, 'Hof Driane' in Herenthout, 'Residentie De Anjers' in Balen, 'De Nieuwe Ceder' in Deinze and 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' in Middelkerke.

The increase in the 'finance lease receivables' is mainly explained by the completion of the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' project in Middelkerke, for an amount of €8,554,110, of which €4,230,112 has already been repaid at the time of completion.

Unlike the projects in the initial portfolio, for the aforementioned reason, the canon 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 finance leases amounted to €287,828,166 as at 31 December 2020.

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.

The increase in trade receivables related to the projects included in the 'finance lease receivables' is mainly explained by the completion of the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' project in Middelkerke.

Debts and liabilities

As at 31 December 2020, the Company has an MTN programme at Belfius (arranger) amounting to €200 million with dealers Belfius and KBC. The Company has set up the necessary backup lines for this purpose. As at 31 December 2020, the amount already drawn amounts to €92.0 million in commercial paper and €21.0 million in bonds.

Amounts in EUR 31/12/2020 31/12/2019
Average remaining term of financial debt 6.33 6.77
Nominal amount of current and non-current financial debt 330,582,772 273,884,913

Nominal amount of derivative instruments 156,914,042 92,265,802
Fair value of hedging instruments -27,975,990 -22,617,736

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

The Company expects that the weighted average interest rate will further decrease during the 2021 financial year as the Company incurs new debts to finance additional investments. The Company has provided the necessary flexibility in view of its debt ratio. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to hedge its debts with a variable interest rate. As at 31 December 2020, the Company has hedged 99.06% of its debts, either by means of an interest rate swap or by means of a fixed interest rate, which represents an increase compared to 31 December 2019 where the hedge ratio was 78.38% .

The consolidated debt ratio, calculated in accordance with Article 13, §1, 2° of the RREC Decree, was 46.31% on 31 December 2020. The available margin for further investments and completion of the developments already acquired before reaching a debt ratio of 60% amounts to €256.5 million as at 31 December 2020.

The other non-current liabilities show a slight increase compared to 31 December 2019 to an amount of €1,782,301 and relate to the debt relating to the right in rem of the projects 'La Résidence du Lac' in Genval, 'Residentie De Anjers' in Balen and 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist, which are included in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.

The commercial debts and other current liabilities amount to €12,096,802 as at 31 December 2020, which is considerably higher than usual. Of this amount, €7,382,704 relates to invoices still to be received for the projects 'Mariënhaven' in Warmond (The Netherlands) and 'Villa Vught' in Vught (The Netherlands), which were acquired shortly before year-end. These amounts were settled in the course of January 2021.

The other current liabilities show a slight decrease compared to 31 December 2020 to an amount of €2,440,285 and relate to short-term liabilities with respect to development projects.

8. Appropriation of the result

A total gross dividend for the 2020 financial year of €18,498,162 or €0.80 per share (€0.32 for coupon 12 and €0.48 for coupon 13) will be proposed at the Company's annual general meeting on 26 May 2021. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax, this represents a net dividend of €0.68 per share (€0.27 for coupon 12 and €0.41 for coupon 13). This proposal is in line with the forecasts communicated by the Company in its reports since the beginning of the financial year.

This represents an increase of 3.90% compared to the dividend paid for the 2019 financial year. The payout ratio is then 84.14% at the statutory level and 80.57% at the consolidated level, based on the adjusted EPRA earnings.

The shares with coupon no. 12 will be entitled to a pro rata dividend as from 1 January 2020 until 28 May 2020. The shares with coupon no. 13 will be entitled to a pro rata dividend as from 29 May 2020 until 31 December 2020.

In accordance with article 13 of the RREC Decree, the minimum dividend payment is €17,587,645 for the 2020 financial year. In the event of a positive net result for the financial year, this is the minimum amount to be distributed as a remuneration for the capital, i.e., 80% of the corrected result less the decrease in debt levels during the financial year.

9. Outlook

The debt ratio is calculated in accordance with Section 13, paragraph 1, bullet 2 of the GVV-KB (Royal Decree regarding Regulated Real Estate Companies) and amounts to 46.31% as at 31 December 2020. 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.

9.1. Assumptions

On the basis of the balance sheet and the global result statement for the financial year 2020, 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. Additional financing costs for acquisitions in the first 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.

9.2. 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 46.31% as at 31 December 2020. 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.

(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.

9.3. 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 16.50 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 assets.

For the 2020 financial year, the Company received a total rental income of approximately €36 million. This represents an increase in rental income of approximately 23% compared to the 2019 financial year (total rental income for the 2019 financial year amounted to approximately €29 million).

The Company expects to receive a rental income of at least €43 million over the 2021 financial year. This results in an adjusted EPRA result per share of minimum €1.00. Care Property Invest intends to pay a gross dividend of at least €0.82 per share for the 2021 financial year. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this results in a net dividend of €0.70 per share.

10. Main risks

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 2019 Annual Financial Report, remain valid for the first months of 2021 An update of these risk factors is given in the Annual Financial Report 2020, which will be published on 23 April 2021.
