1. INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

Highlights

  • IMMOBEL's revenues in the first half of 2018 increased by 77 % to EUR 97.7 million while its net income (Group share), amounted to EUR 15 million.
  • The results for the first half of 2018 show strong growth driven by increased residential sales. This trend is expected to continue in the second half of 2018.
  • The sale of an office building in the centre of Warsaw (Cedet) is expected to contribute significantly to the results for 2018.
  • IMMOBEL has already exceeded its 2018 acquisition target by 30 % by adding more than 130,000 m² of mainly residential projects in Belgium to its portfolio. This was achieved through the acquisition of a stake in the development company Urban Living Belgium, as well as 5,700 m² of offices in Luxembourg.
  • The company's balance sheet remains strong, with equity of EUR 302.7 million and net debt of EUR 308.4 million as at the end of June 2018. This position gives it the necessary financial leeway for further growth and diversification of earnings.
  • For the full year 2018, IMMOBEL is confirming an increase of 10 % in the dividend.

Strong financial results …

The table below provides the key consolidated figures for the first six months of the year (EUR million):

Results 30/06/2018 30/06/2017 Variance
Revenues 97.7 55.1 +77%
Net income Group share 15.0 5.3 +183%
Balance sheet 30/06/2018 31/12/2017 Variance
Equity 302.7 303.6 -0,3%
Net debt 308.4 251.0 +23%
  • The increase in revenue was driven by higher sales in the residential segment across Belgium, Luxembourg and Poland. This was mainly generated by a portfolio of residential projects in Belgium amounting to EUR 53.6 million (among which Parc Seny (EUR 11.1 million), O'Sea (EUR 8.4 million), Lake Front (EUR 6.3 million), Chambon (EUR 5.5 million) and Greenhill Park (EUR 4.5 million)), in Luxembourg amounting to EUR 36.5 million (Infinity) and in Poland amounting to EUR 5.7 million (Granary Island).
  • Strong growth in net incomewas driven by revenue-related developments and the contribution of jointventure projects in Belgium and Luxembourg (among which Universalis Park and Ernest).
  • The increase in net debt mainly reflects the reduction in cash resulting from, among other things, the acquisition of Urban Living Belgium, the reimbursement of a bond and the payment of the 2017 dividend.

… driven by strong performance of its portfolio

The current development portfolio encompasses 822,000 m², 800,000 m² of which are spread across Belgium, Luxembourg and Poland and 22,000 m² of which represent a 15 % stake in Nafylian & Partners, an affiliate for residential development in France.

In Belgium, IMMOBEL continued with over 10 residential projects launched in 2017 (154,200 m²).

• Various major projects are currently being commercialised and are in the construction phase. The table below illustrates the excellent sales performance of IMMOBEL's teams:

• Furthermore, the Polvermillen project (26,600 m²) is in the permit application stage.

In Poland, IMMOBEL achieved a turnover of EUR 5.7 million from residential sales, mainly through the first phase of the Granary Island project (62,000 m²), which is already 81 % pre-sold.

  • IMMOBEL has submitted a building permit application for the subsequent phases of the Granary Island project (41,700 m²). In addition, the construction phase of the Central Point building (18,000 m² offices) in the centre of Warsaw has begun.
  • IMMOBEL is planning to sell the Cedet office building (23,000 m²), the office areas of which have already been fully let, by the end of 2018 to an Asian investment fund. The sale is expected to have a very positive impact on the net result for the second half of 2018.

In France, IMMOBEL is working on the integration of its affiliate for residential development, Nafilyan & Partners, of which it currently owns 15 % and which is to be gradually acquired in full by 2020. The turnover of Nafilyan & Partners amounted to EUR 57.5 million for the first six months of 2018, with 22 projects under commercialisation.

An enhanced & growing international presence

During the first half of 2018, IMMOBEL strengthened the implementation of its strategic business plan, focusing on residential development and international expansion. The objective is to set up a diversified portfolio generating growth and recurring results. "We already expect more than 50 % of net results to come from the residential sector this year across the 4 geographical zones in which we are active, and this trend is set to continue in the coming years", explains Alexander Hodac, CEO IMMOBEL Group.

  • IMMOBEL has already exceeded its 2018 acquisition target by taking a 30 % stake in Urban Living Belgium (± 130,000 m² - IMMOBEL's share with 10 projects) in order to expand its development portfolio, mainly in Flanders (Antwerp and Ghent), but also Wallonia (Liège). At the end of July, IMMOBEL acquired the company Thomas SA, owner of a 5,700 m² office building located at the entrance to the new major clinic district that is undergoing redevelopment in Luxembourg-Strassen.
  • Following a strategic review, IMMOBEL has decided to further strengthen its international presence by entering the office development market in Paris, taking advantage of its position in the residential market in Paris its expertise in office development and through its affiliate Nafilyan & Partners. "The acquisition of Nafilyan & Partners was a first step in the development of a larger Paris-based platform. Beyond the residential market, Paris offers genuine opportunities for offices, supported by a positive economic environment in France and Europe", explains Marnix Galle, Executive Chairman of IMMOBEL Group. "This is why we hired Julien Michel, Head of Office Development and formerly with AXA Investment Managers France, who will be in charge of launching office development operations at IMMOBEL France starting on 15 October", he adds.
  • IMMOBEL has also backed the services of a new CFO for the Group, Karel Breda, who holds a degree from KU Leuven and an MBA from the University of Chicago. Before joining IMMOBEL, Karel Breda was CFO for the South Asia, Middle East and Africa region for GDF Suez (2011). He then moved to Engie E&P in the Netherlands (2014) and subsequently became Engie Solar's CEO for the Middle East, Asia and Turkey. His international experience and in-depth knowledge of major corporate structures will provide IMMOBEL with insight that is essential to the company's further expansion into European markets.

Capital structure: an enabler for further growth

• The solidity of IMMOBEL's balance sheet, with an equity position of EUR 302.7 million and net debt of EUR 308.4 million, gives the company sufficient financial leeway to further grow its portfolio and therefore its earnings.

2.E. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of preparation

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.

Note 2. Accounting principles and methods

The accounting principles used are the same as those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2017, except for the impact of the IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 standards applicable from 1 January 2018, which is detailed below:

  • IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration
  • IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applicable for the annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2018

The Group has not anticipated the following standards and interpretations, which are not mandatory as at 30 June 2018:

  • Amendments to IAS 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 but not yet adopted at European level)
  • Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 but not yet adopted at European level)

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint venture (effective date deferred indefinitely, therefore adoption at European level has also been deferred)
  • Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2015-2017 Cycle (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 but not yet adopted at European level)
  • IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 but not yet adopted at European level)

  • IFRS 16 Leases (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 but not yet adopted at European level)

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.

IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

In May 2014, the IASB published a new standard relating to revenue recognition. Under this standard, revenue must be recognised when the customer gains control of the goods or services sold, for a sum which reflects what the entity expects to receive for the goods or services.

Application of IFRS 15 has been mandatory since 1 January 2018.

The main categories of sale contracts used by the Group comprise:

Sales of office buildings

The revenue from contracts for sales of office buildings was recognised under the old IAS 18 standard as one or more performance obligations for which the sale revenue was recognised on the delivery date, unless the contract was not defined as a construction contract or did not provide for continuous transfer of ownership enabling the proceeds of the sale to be recognised as the transfer took place, in other words as the work progressed.

Under IFRS 15, IMMOBEL now assesses, on a case-by-case basis:

  • Whether the agreement, the contract or the transaction falls within the scope of IFRS 15, including by taking into account the probability of the entity recovering the consideration to which it is entitled;
  • Whether, under a contract, the sale of the land, the development and the marketing represent distinct performance obligations;
  • Whether, for each obligation, the revenue is subject to a gradual transfer of control, particularly for projects which satisfy the third criterion defined by IFRS 15.36 ("Performance creating a specific asset and giving rise to an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date"), and must be recognised gradually.

Given that no current "Office" contract as at 31 December 2017 has been identified as establishing a gradual transfer, no material change is applicable as at 1 January 2018.

Sales of residential projects

For "Residential" projects, the analysis has distinguished the revenue from contracts for which the contractual provisions and the legal context (Breyne Act in Belgium or equivalent in Luxembourg) establish a gradual transfer of the control of the asset to the purchaser as the construction progresses from the other revenue linked to the completion of an obligation.

Projects involving residential units - Breyne Act contracts (Belgium/Luxembourg)

The legal framework in Belgium and Luxembourg gradually transfers the ownership of a residential unit to the purchaser during the construction period. In such a situation, the performance obligation is fulfilled gradually since control over the asset is transferred as the construction progresses. Viewing a performance obligation as single (with no distinction between "land" and "development") represents a change compared with the current accounting method. To date, the Group has recognised a land margin (in the deed of sale) and a development margin (as the work progresses).

A single margin is now recognised gradually for each sale as the asset under development is transferred.

This situation represents a change compared with what was applied up to 31 December 2017 since the revenues and costs were previously recorded in the income statement as follows:

  • Margin on the land: the revenues and costs were recorded in the deed of sale;
  • Margin on the development: the revenues and costs were recorded in accordance with the percentage of completion method.

Thus the application of IFRS 15 entails a restatement, leading to an increase of EUR 3,379 million in the opening equity as at 1 January 2018.

Projects involving residential units - other provisions (Poland)

The analysis of the regulatory framework in Poland identified the requirement to recognise the revenue upon completion of the performance obligation (upon the signing of the final deed, once the unit being sold is delivered), with no impact on the opening equity.

Other sales of residential projects

Other types of sale may occur (block sale of a project, hotel, commercial space, etc.). Such transactions are therefore subject to an analysis on a case-by-case basis using an approach similar to that described for the "Office" schemes.

Landbanking

The Group has not identified any impact on this business sector since the sales revenue is still recorded when the asset is transferred.

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

In July 2014, the IASB published a new standard relating to financial instruments. IFRS 9 includes the following three main areas:

Classification and measurement of financial assets/liabilities

IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified according to their nature, the characteristics of their contractual cash flows and the economic model followed for their management.

Impairment

IFRS 9 determines the principles and the methodology to be applied to evaluate and record the credit losses expected in relation to financial assets, loan commitments and financial guarantees.

Essentially, it represents the recording of the expected impairment losses for credit risk at the time the receivables are initially recorded, or at the start of the loan commitments or financial guarantees. The main elements concerned are advances to joint ventures and associates and guarantees that may be granted to such entities. When estimating expected impairment losses, IMMOBEL applies a simplified model and assesses the risk over the lifetime of the assets.

The introduction of this new model has no significant impact on the Group's accounts as at 31 December 2017.

Hedge accounting

This provision has no impact on the Group's accounts since, to date, the Group has no derivative instrument designated as a hedging instrument.

This impact of this new standard was deemed not significant and the Group has decided not to restate the 2017 figures.

Restatement of the comparative information

For the implementation of the IFRS 15 standard, the Group has opted for the simplified retrospective method. The comparative financial statements have been restated solely in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position, the net impact being recorded in the opening position as at 1 January 2018. The data for the 2017 financial year, presented for comparison purposes in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, has not been adjusted and continues to be presented in accordance with the accounting standard applicable in 2017.

Impacts on the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017

The impacts of the implementation of IFRS 15 on the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017 are presented in the following table:

Note 4. Main risks and uncertainties

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 33/114 and following (Management Report) of the Annual Report 2017 are still relevant for the remaining months of 2018.

Note 6. Operating segment – Financial information by business segment

The segment reporting is presented in respect of the operational segments. The results and asset and liability items of the segment include items that can be attributed to a sector, either directly, or allocated on an allocation formula. The core business of the Company, real estate development, includes the activities of "offices", "residential development" and "land development".

There are no transactions between the different sectors. The Group's activity is carried out in Belgium, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Poland. A new project in Spain is under study.

The breakdown of sales by country depends on the country where the activity is executed.

In accordance with IFRS, the Company applied since 1st January 2014, IFRS 11, 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.

The "Internal" financial statements are those used by the Board and Management to monitor the financial performance of the Group and are presented below.

Unallocated items: Assets: Deferred tax assets - Other non-current financial assets - Other non-current assets - Tax receivables -Other current financial assets - Cash and equivalents - Liabilities: Provisions - Deferred tax liabilities - Financial debts - Tax liabilities - Derivative financial instruments.

Note 7. Turnover

Turnover is allocated as follows per segment:

Offices 100
Residential 91 481 45 636
Land Development 4 308 8 193
TOTAL TURNOVER 95 789 53 929

The diversification of the Group's "customers" portfolio guarantees its independence in the market.

The promotions Chambon and Parc Saint-Anne in Brussels, Lake Front in Knokke-Heist, Riverview in Nieuwpoort, Gastuche in Wavre and O'Sea in Oostende, as well as Greenhill Park, Royal Louise and Parc Seny contribute in particular to the "Residential Development" turnover.

From an international viewpoint, the projects Infinity in Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and Granary Island in Poland have also contributed to the turnover.

The comparability of the figures between the two semesters is influenced by the implementation of the new IFRS 15 which has changed the rules for revenue recognition. This situation affects the 'turnover' and 'cost of sales' headings.

Interest rate risk

Based on the situation as per 30 June 2018, each change in interest rate of 1% involves an annual increase or decrease of the interest charge on debts at variable rate of EUR 2 471 thousand.

In the frame of the availability of long term credits, Corporate or Project Financing, the Group uses financial instruments mainly for the hedging of interest rates.

At 30 June 2018, the derivative financial instruments which have been concluded to hedge future risks are the following:

Period Instruments Strike Notional
amounts
09/2015 - 09/2018 IRS bought 0,10% 26 000
09/2014 - 12/2019 IRS bought 0,86% 53 122
Total 79 122

The fair value of derivatives is determined based on valuation models and future interest rates ("level 2"). The change in fair value of financial instruments is recognized through the statement of income as those have not been designated as cash flow hedges.

Information on fair value of financial instruments

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:

  • If their maturity is short-term (eg: trade receivables and payables), the fair value is assumed to be similar at amortized cost,

  • For fixed rate debts, based on discounted future cash flows estimated based on market rates at closing,

  • For variable rate debts, the fair value is assumed to be similar at amortized cost,
  • For derivative financial instruments, the fair value is determined on the basis of discounted future cash flows estimated based on curves of forward interest rates. This value is mentioned by the counterparty financial institution,
  • For quoted bonds, on the basis of the quotation at the closing.

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,
  • Level 3: the fair values of the remaining financial assets and financial liabilities are derived from valuation techniques which include inputs which are not based on observable market data.
