3 Sales value or gross development value: the expected total future turnover (Group Share) of the respective projects
Revenues in H1 2020 were mainly driven by residential sales in Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Poland (EUR 100.3 million), landbanking and the sale of one office building (Möbius I) in Belgium. Key contributors to residential sales were the residential business in France (EUR 29.2 million), Granary Island in Poland (EUR 23.5 million), Infinity (EUR 9.7 million) in Luxembourg and Parc Seny (EUR 9.6 million) in Belgium.
Compared to last year, revenues saw a strong increase, whereas EBITDA and net profit group share went down. This is the result of the contribution of the exceptional sales of Centre Etoile in Luxembourg and Möbius II in Belgium last year.
While the sales value of the company's portfolio grew by 8% from EUR 4.5 to 4.8 billion, the inventory4 remained stable, as part of the new acquisitions to date have been relatively less capital intensive.
In addition, the decrease in net debt mainly reflects the proceeds from the placement of 800,000 treasury shares in May 2020, resulting in a lower gearing ratio of 51.2% (compared to 56% at the end of 2019).
While COVID-19 strongly impacted sales from March through May, since June the company has seen a recovery of sales, mainly driven by demand for residential real estate on the coast in Belgium (O'Sea, Crown) as well as for more spacious residential units both in urban areas (e.g Eden in Frankfurt) and in suburban areas (e.g. Astene, Erpent in Belgium).
Furthermore, the company entered into a lease agreement with ING for a major office project in the European quarter in Brussels (approx. 14,000 sqm) and delivered Möbius I to Allianz, its new head office for the Benelux located in the North neighbourhood of Brussels.
While COVID-19 caused a delay in the permitting process for new projects (typically about 4 to 6 months), the company expects to obtain a large number of permits for new projects by the end of 2021, representing more than 4,000 apartments and houses and 3 offices in its core markets (Belgium, Luxembourg and France) and a sales value of more than EUR 1.5 billion. With each of these markets characterised by a substantial need for new quality assets driven by a significant shortage of supply (which is even more outspoken in Paris due to the recent delays in municipal elections), the company expects the launch of these projects to have a significant impact on its revenues and profit in the coming years.
Examples of projects in Belgium for which permitting is ongoing are Key West, the transformation of a former industrial area by the Canal in Brussels with over 500 new apartments, shops and a day-care centre, Lebeau next to the Sablon in Brussels with over 200 apartments and an office building to be refurbished, the mixed use project Brouck'R with over 300 residential units and a large amount of green space in the car-free centre of Brussels, and in Luxembourg the residential project Polvermillen on the banks of the Alzette River with over 200 apartments. In France, permits are to come in for a project in Bussy-Saint-

Georges with 250 residential units, of which 130 apartments with an assisted living function, and a project in Savigny-sur-Orge with 200 residential units.
Thanks to its strong balance sheet with a cash position of over EUR 200 million and additional equity raised (EUR 52 million) through a private placement in May, the company has significant scope to further grow its EUR 4.8 billion portfolio. In H1 2020 the company acquired projects with a sales value of EUR 480 million. In Belgium, Immobel together with its partners won the mixed-use project for the refurbishment of the area around the Brussels Midi/Zuid train station/new headquarters of the Belgian national railway company and purchased Multi, an office tower in the centre of Brussels. In Luxembourg the company acquired large projects such as Schoettermarial, a project of +/- 160 units with a great deal of green and open space and Canal, a renovation of a historical building, +/- 80 units. Immobel is also in prime position to acquire a cradle to cradle project of +/- 25,000 m² (all three primarily residential projects).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted in the European Union.
The Group has not anticipated the following standards and interpretations, which are not mandatory as at 30 June 2020:
• IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
• Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
• Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
• Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
• Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations: Reference to the Conceptual Framework (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
• Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases: Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
• Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
The process of determining the potential impacts of these standards and interpretations on the consolidated financial statements of the Group is ongoing. The Group does not anticipate any changes resulting from the application of these standards.
In this context of crisis, the Group has paid particular attention to adequately reflect the current and expected impact of the COVID-19 situation on the financial position, performance and cash-flows of the company, applying the IFRS accounting principles in a consistent manner.
In this first half 2020, COVID-19 had an impact on the activity of the company and the sector as a whole mainly with respect to residential sales, construction works and permitting. Sales have slowed down during the lockdown period imposed by government but to a lower extent than in the stress test performed by the company in April.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group assessed whether its non-financial assets, in particular goodwill arisen from the acquisition of Nafilyan & Partners, could be impaired. The Group thus carried out an analysis of indicators of potential impairment, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets.
The slow-down of the sales, also observed in France, has been considered by management as a trigger event, especially in this COVID-19 context. An impairment test was carried out based on the revised business plan, noting no impairment risk as per 30 June 2020 – see note 13.
The COVID-19 crisis gives rise to a potentially increased credit risk and may therefore affect the amount of impairment losses to be recognized in respect of expected credit losses. The Group has therefore monitored payment receipts and counterparty risk more closely, noting no significant deterioration. The impact of ECL remains immaterial, especially since a physical asset can be considered, in the most cases, as a collateral (guarantee) in the assessment.
With regard to the inventories (projects to be developed), the assumptions used to assess the recoverability of the project under development have been consistently reviewed and updated based on the most recent market data, without significant impact. No impairments have been identified as per 30 June 2020.
Financial risks have been monitored carefully.
The group shows a strong cash position of EUR 233 million, including additional drawing of EUR 70 million on available credit lines to back up potential project financing default.
There is no breach of the covenants.
Liquidity risk and trends in interest rate and exchange rate markets, have been reviewed and the related information has been updated based on data available at June 30, 2020 – see note 25.
Immobel's deferred tax asset positions were reviewed in order to ensure their recoverability through future taxable income. The Group also monitored changes to legislation, revisions to tax rates and other tax measures taken in response to the crisis.
The company did not identify significant impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the estimated future taxable profit.
The Group reviewed whether any current obligations were likely to give rise to the recognition of provisions, noting no specific risk.
The financial impacts of the crisis were rather limited, except in terms of pace of sales, which slowed down, and progress on construction sites.
The Group has neither adjusted its performance indicators, nor included new indicators to describe the impacts of COVID-19.
In Belgium, as well as in other countries, the Group utilized government temporary unemployment schemes and deferred the disbursement of some financial, tax and social debts, all being paid as per 30 June 2020.
Given the uncertainties related to the health crisis and the constantly changing environment, the Group paid particular attention to events that occurred during the period from June 30, 2020 until the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors – see note 32.
Actuals related to the first semester 2020 and reforecast 2020 show that the crisis is impacting Immobel's financial results to a lower extent than in the stress test developed by management in April. Cash would remain positive and the company has still important operational levers available to further improve its position (anticipated sale of projects, postponing start of new constructions)
Based on new base case, management re-assessed the going concern assumption of the company and confirmed it remains appropriate.
Due to COVID-19 related developments in the economic and financial environment in the first half of the year, the Group stepped up its risk oversight procedures, mainly in measuring financial assets and performing impairment tests.
The estimates used by the Group, among other things, to test for impairment and to measure provisions, take into account this environment and the sharp market volatility.
The main accounting judgments and estimates are identical to those given on page 93 (Consolidated Accounts) of the Annual Report 2019. They mainly concern the deferred tax assets, investment property, impairment of assets, provisions, projects in inventory and construction contracts.
The Immobel Group faces the risks and uncertainties inherent to the property development sector as well as those associated with the economic situation and the financial world.
The Board of Directors considers that the main risks and uncertainties included in page 46 and following (Management Report) of the Annual Report 2019 and page 93-94 are still relevant for the remaining months of 2020.
We refer to note 2 for an update about the COVID-19 crisis.
| The number of entities included in the scope of consolidation evolves as follows: | 30/06/2020 | 31/12/2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Subsidiaries - Global method of consolidation | 125 | |
| Joint Ventures - Equity method | 43 | |
| Associates - Equity method | ||
| TOTAL | 181 | 171 |
The following changes have been noted during the first half year of 2020:
Entries in the scope of consolidation:
Change of ownership:
• SSCV NP Bussy Saint Georges I, previously 51% owned, is now 100% owned
The entries are all related to created or acquired companies in the normal course of business (restructuring/acquisition of existing/new projects), none of them to be considered as a business combination.
SPV WW 13 (now known as CP Development Sp. Z.o.o.) was added to the number of entities included in the consolidation scope as of 31/12/2019.
The segment reporting is presented based on the operational segments used by the Board and Management to monitor the financial performance of the Group, being the geographical segments (by country). The choice made by Management to focus on geographical segment rather than on other possible operating segments is motivated by the new investments or projects in several new countries, which made this criterion more relevant for the follow up of business and better reflecting the organization of the Group.
The core business of the Group, real estate development, is carried out in Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Germany, Poland and Spain.
The breakdown of sales by country depends on the country where the activity is executed.
The results and asset and liability items of the segments include items that can be attributed to a sector, either directly, or allocated through an allocation formula.
In accordance with IFRS, the Company has been applying IFRS 11 since 1st January 2014, which strongly amends the reading of the financial statements of the Company but does not change the net income and shareholders' equity.
The Board of Directors believes that the financial data in application of the proportional consolidated method (before IFRS 11) give a better picture of the activities and financial statements.

In Belgium, the sale of Mobius I contributed to the Group's sales in the first half, as well as the Parc Seny, O'Sea and Green Hill projects. At international level, the Infinity project in Luxembourg, the Nafilyan projects in France, Granaria in Poland and Eden Tower Frankfurt in Germany also contributed to the turnover.
Revenue on commercial contracts is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods or services sold for an amount that reflects what the entity expects to receive for those goods and services.
The contractual analysis of the Group's sales contracts led to the application of the following recognition principles:
The revenue from office sale contracts is recognized after analysis on a case-by-case basis of the performance obligations stipulated in the contract (land, buildings, commercialisation). The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is recognized:
As of June 30, 2020, no "Office" contract organizing a gradual transfer of control is in progress.
For "Residential" projects, revenue is recognized according to the contractual and legal provisions in force in each country to govern the transfer of control of projects sold in the future state of completion.
The sales revenue is generally recorded when the asset is transferred.
The breakdown of sales according to these different recognition principles is as follows:

Upon initial recognition, the Group measures trade receivables at their transaction price as defined by IFRS 15. Contract assets include the amounts to which the entity is entitled in exchange for goods or services that it already has provided to a customer but for which the payment is not yet due or is subject to the fulfilment of a specific condition provided for in the contract.
When an amount becomes due, it is transferred to the receivable account.
A trade receivable is recognized as soon as the entity has an unconditional right to collect a payment. This unconditional right exists from the moment in time which makes the payment due.
In the same way as trade receivables and other receivables, contract assets are subject to an impairment test in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 on expected credit losses. This test does not show any significant potential impact since these contract assets (and their related receivables) are generally covered by the underlying assets represented by the building to be transferred.

| SITUATION AT 30 JUNE |
In the frame of the availability of long term credits, Corporate or Project Financing, the Group is using financial instruments capping the interest rate at 0,5% for about 75% of the exposure on the variable part of the debt (based on the internal view, i.e. before application of IFRS 11) up to July 1st, 2023.
Based on the situation as per 30 June 2020, an increase in interest rate would result in an annual increase of the interest charge on debt of EUR 1.638 thousand per 1%-increase for about 25% of the variable part of the debt and maximum EUR 2.458 thousand in total for about 75% of the variable part of the debt to the extent the applicable EURIBOR-rate stands at 0%. Given that current applicable EURIBOR-rates are below 0% the impact of such increase would be even lower than these respective amounts.
No instrument has been documented as hedge accounting at 30 June 2020.
The following table list the different classes of financial assets and liabilities with their carrying amounts in the balance sheet and their respective fair value and analysed by their measurement category.
The fair value of financial instruments is determined as follows:
The fair value measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities can be characterized in one of the following ways:
Level 1: the fair values of financial assets and liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities,
Level 2: the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar instruments. This mainly relates to derivative financial instruments,
