Press Release Interim Statement

Regulated information of the sole director relating to the period from 01/01/2024 to 03/31/2024

Highlights

  • Montea on track to achieve profit growth target in 2024: EPRA earnings rise by over 16% compared to the same period last year, equivalent to EPRA earnings per share of €0.98 (+3% y-o-y), taking into account the additional 12% in outstanding shares
  • Montea makes upward adjustment to 2025 forecast: EPRA earnings expected to climb to €4.75 per share in 2025 (versus €4.65) as the expected completion dates of a number of property developments are brought forward
  • Montea continues to successfully manage and develop its land bank: during Q1 2024, construction began on two expansion projects and a new permit was obtained for three new construction projects. The Company also added another 36,000 m² plot to the land bank
  • In just one quarter Montea invests 70% of the capital raised in November 2023: in addition to its current property developments, Montea significantly expanded its presence in Germany, investing €50 million in a logistics park in the port of Hamburg
  • Montea retains full occupancy: for the fifth quarter in a row, occupancy rate has remained at 100% and the portfolio valuation continues to be stable

"In the first quarter, we broke ground on several new development projects, obtained additional building permits and further increased our land bank. Meanwhile, we have maintained 100% occupancy across our portfolio, and we have continued to successfully roll out our sustainability strategy. This not only means that we are well on track to meeting our goals for 2024, but that we can also raise our forecasts for 2025."

Jo De Wolf - CEO

Summary - Q1 2024

EPRA earnings of €19.8 million, a 16% increase compared to Q1 2023, equivalent to EPRA earnings of €0.98 per share (up 3% y-o-y, taking into accountthe additional 12% outstanding shares).

Montea continues to successfully manage and develop its land bank:

During the first quarter of 2024, Montea broke ground on two property developments. These developments are located in Belgium and comprise a lettable area of 23,000 m² and are 100% pre-let. In the same period, Montea also obtained three building permits for a total lettable area of 65,000 m², where construction will begin once they have been pre-let. The company also added another 36,000 m² plot in Zellik to the land bank, further increasing future development potential.

  • In just one quarter Montea invested 70% of the capital raised in November 2023: in addition to its current property developments, Montea significantly expanded its presence in Germany, investing in a multi-modal logistics park in the port of Hamburg with a total lettable area of 63,500 m². Strategically located, this €50 million acquisition offers future rental uplift potential, as well as the potential to redevelop ca. 50% of the site. This is Montea's third acquisition in Germany, complementing its existing properties in Mannheim and Leverkusen, and further enhances its commitment to continued growth in the region.
  • 100% occupancy for five consecutive quarters: an outstanding achievement on top ofthe historically high occupancy rate – having remained consistently above 99% since 2018. A total of 81% of the equivalent of 9% of rental income expiring in 2024 has already been extended or renewed. The continued high occupancy rate is testament to the quality and prime locations offered by Montea's property portfolio.

Montea on track to reach net zero:

Sustainable growth and the impact of our business on the environment and society are key priorities for Montea. We reduced our carbon footprint considerably in 2023, decreasing the energy intensity in our existing buildings by 11% thanks to the success of sustainability-focused initiatives such as the installation of heat pumps and the continued phasing-out of fossil fuels. In 2023, we also reached our 2030 energy efficiency target for new developments ahead of schedule, limiting energy consumption to 25 kWh/m² per year. In our existing portfolio, 95% of the properties1 are also fitted with solar panels. We will continue to pursue these ambitionsin 2024.

1 Where this is technically feasible and does not require major retrofit work

Healthy market dynamics:

  • The portfolio's valuation has remained stable, even since the June 2022 market peak, in contrast to the general trend being seen across the property market.
  • The average unexpired term to first break date is more than 5.8 years for the existing portfolio including solar panels this term rises to 6.3 years
  • The average lease term for projects under construction is 13 years, and these will be developed at an average net initial yield of 7%
  • Property portfolio in prime strategic multi-modal locations
  • Montea's existing leases are currently 10%2 below market rent value, meaning it is well positioned to benefit from future rental uplift potential
  • Rent reviews on leases expiring this quarter pushed the average rent up by 14% compared to the previous quarter
  • Inflation-proof cash flow (index-linked rental income) demonstrated by like-for-like rental growth of ca. 4%, indexation accounting for 3% of this and lease renewals 1%

Strong fundamentals in volatile macro environment:

  • Consistently low EPRA LTV of 34.8% and Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted) of 6.8x
  • Despite rising interest rates, the average annualized cost of debt stands at 2.3% and our assets are unencumbered
  • Long-term loan and hedging agreements (both with an average unexpired term of ca. 6.5 years) and a hedge ratio of 97%
  • Strong liquidity position, with ca. €220 million of immediately available funding at quarter end

Outlook:

  • In the coming years, Montea will keep its annual investment target at €200 million per year, with 2024's target standing at ca. €260 million.
  • In 2024, we expect EPRA earnings to increase to €4.55 per share, without taking into account a potential additional future positive effect on EPRA earnings of ca. €0.18 per share3 due to the FBI regime for FY 2023. A dividend of €3.60 per share remains the target, based on a low pay-out ratio.
  • Due to favorable changes in expected completion dates of current and future property developments, Montea expects EPRA earnings to increase to €4.75 per share (previously €4.65) in 2025. This forecast does not take into account a potential additional future positive effect on EPRA earnings of ca. €0.15 per share4 if Montea is granted the status of fiscal investment institution ('fiscale belegginginstelling', or FBI) in the Netherlands for FY 2024.

2 Primarily due to the significant rental uplift potential brought by the acquisition in Hamburg, which pushed this figure up from 6% at the end of 2023 to 10% in Q1 2024.

  • 1) Includes real estate intended for sale. 5
  • 2) The occupancy rate is calculated based on square meters. In calculating this occupancy rate, the unlettable square meters intended for redevelopment and the land bank were disregarded in terms of both numerator and denominator.
  • 3) The figure for the surface area of leased land (the part of the land bank yielding a return) is 20% of the total surface area; given that the average rental value of a plot equates to ca. 20% of the rental value of a logistics property.
  • 4) The portfolio value includes transaction costs.
  • 5) The value for accounting purposes is in line with IAS/IFRS rules, excluding property intended for own use.
  • 6) The operating result (before portfolio result) is divided by the property result to arrive at the operating margin. See annex 2.
  • 7) Financial result (excluding changes in the fair value of the financial instruments): this is the financial result pursuant to the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate companies, excluding the change in the fair value of the financial instruments, and reflects the company's actual financing cost. See annex 2.
  • 8) EPRA earnings: these are the net earnings (after recognition of the operating result before portfolio result, minus the financial results and corporate income tax, excluding deferred taxes), minus the changes in the fair value of investment properties and properties intended for sale, minus the result from the sale of investment properties, plus the changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. Also see annex 1.
  • 9) The EPRA earnings per share are the EPRA earnings based on the weighted average number of shares. Also see annex 1.
  • 10) Portfolio result: this concerns the positive and/or negative changes in the fair value of the property portfolio, plus any capital gains or losses from property construction. See annex 2.
  • 11) Changes in the fair value of financial hedging instruments: this concerns the positive and/or negative changes in the fair value of the interest hedging instruments under IFRS 9.
  • 12) EPRA LTV, or EPRA Loan to value, is a key measure to determine the percentage of debt relative to the assessed value of the properties and is calculated by dividing the net debt by the total property value (solar panels included).
  • 13) Debt ratio pursuant to the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate companies. Also see annex 2.
  • 14) The Adjusted net debt/EBITDA differs from the net debt/EBITDA in that the net financial liabilities in the numerator are adjusted for projects currently under construction multiplied by the debt ratio, while the denominator is adjusted for the annualized impact of external growth.
  • 15) IFRS NAV: Net Asset Value, or intrinsic value, before profit distribution of the current financial year in accordance with the IFRS balance sheet (excluding non-controlling interests). The IFRS NAV per share is calculated by dividing the equity according to IFRS by the number of shares entitled to dividends on the balance sheet date.
  • 16) EPRA Net Reinstatement Value: The NRV is based on the assumption that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value needed to rebuild the entity. The purpose of this indicator is to reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including real estate transfer taxes. The EPRA NRV per share is the EPRA NRV based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date. Also see annex 1.
  • 17) EPRA Net Tangible Assets assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby realizing certain levels of deferred taxation. The NTA is the NAV adjusted to include properties and other investments at fair value and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallize in a long-term investment property business model. The EPRA NTA per share is the EPRA NTA based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date. Also see annex 1.
  • 18) EPRA Net Disposal Value provides the reader with a scenario of the sale of the company's assets that leads to the realization of deferred taxes and the liquidation of debt and financial instruments.

1.2 Montea's portfolio

In Q1 2024 Montea saw a significant €99 million increase in its property portfolio value – €12 million of which equated to increased revaluations. This took the company's total property portfolio value at the end of Q1 2024 to €2,379 million.

Montea significantly expanded its footprint in Germany by investing ca. €50 million in the port of Hamburg, which offers future upside rental growth potential, as well as the potential to redevelop ca. 50% of the site. Next to this, the key focus area for Montea was the development and expansion of its sizeable land bank. In Q1 2024 the company obtained building permits for three developments with a total lettable area of 65,000 m2 . These projects are situated in Erembodegem (BE), Lembeek (BE) and Tiel (NL). The developments in Erembodegem (BE) and Tongeren (BE) could start as early as Q1, with building permits having already been obtained for the latter. Combined, both projects represent an additional 23,000 m² of lettable area, leaving 117,000 m² of new developments currently under construction. Finally, a 36,000 m² plot in Zellik was also added to the land bank, increasing future development potential.

1.2.1 Acquisitions – Q1 2024

Logistics Park in Hamburg (DE)

In Q1 2024, Montea acquired a large logis�cs park with a total letable area of 63,500 m² in the port of Hamburg. The plot covers a total of 89,000 m² and is situated in the pres�gious Hamburg-Altenwerder logis�cs area. The logis�cs park is fully let to five different companies. All units boast modern interiors and LED ligh�ng and one of the units also has a green roof. Thanks to its strategic loca�on and redevelopment poten�al, Montea expects rental income for the park to trend upwards going forward. This ca. €50 million investment reaffirms Montea's focus on port and airport loca�ons.

1.2.2 Deployment of the land bank

Space is becoming increasingly scarce. As a developer and investor in logistics real estate, land ownership is one of our key strategic pillars. It enables us to invest in developing real estate projects that are aligned with our vision and strategy. Our extensive land bank allows us to develop high-quality real estate projects that meet market requirements and contribute to our growth.

1.2.2.1 Land bank development pipeline

Montea continues to successfully manage and develop its land bank

During Q1 2024, Montea obtained three planning permits for a total lettable area of ca. 65,000 m², comprising a 31,000 m2 development in Lembeek (BE), a 9,000 m² expansion project located in Erembodegem (BE) and a 25,000 m² development on the southern part of the site in Tiel (NL). The ca. 55,000 m2 plot of land in Lembeek6 has now been added to the permitted land bank development pipeline, bringing short-term development potential back up to ca. 1 million m². 7

During the same period, Montea broke ground on two development projects, namely the extension for Movianto in Erembodegem (BE) and a new construction project in Tongeren (BE). Combined, both projects represent a lettable area of 23,000 m², leaving 117,000 m² of new developments currently under construction.

The company's land bank development pipeline represents around 10% of the total development market in Belgium and the Netherlands, with more than 60% of this involving greyfield and brownfield sites.

of our projects involve greyfield and brownfield >60% sites that we remediate

6 Montea acquired the plot in Lembeek (BE) in Q1 2022 and it had been part of Montea's long-term future development potential since then. 7 Montea completed construction of 56,000 m² of its land bank development projects during 2023.

The projects will be developed at an average net initial yield of 7%. Thanks to the rental growth generated by these developments and a controlled average cost of debt of 2.5%, with our assets being unencumbered, we expect to see a sustainable increase in EPRA earnings. Thanks to earlier than expected completion dates for current and future property developments, Montea is upwardly adjusting its 2025 profit forecast to €4.75 per share (previously €4.65). Based on current market valuations, Montea expects the above projects to generate an average development margin of 30%.

Under construction – ca. 117,000 m²

There are currently six development projects with a total lettable area of 117,000 m² under construction in Belgium and the Netherlands. The total investment budget for these projects is ca. €132 million. Montea's development projects are strongly focused on the long-term, which is why sustainability is a key priority: not only in terms of energy management, but also in terms of water usage, landscape compatibility and biodiversity.

Long-term collaboration with Cordeel, Tongeren III (phase 2) – Building three

As part of the second phase of the long-term collaboration with Cordeel, in Q4 2022 Montea acquired a ca. 187,000 m² plot of land in Tongeren. During 2023, two properties, comprising ca. 20,500 m² and ca. 34,000 m², were constructed on this plot. In Q1 2024, Montea started the construction of a third building, comprising ca. 14,000 m².

  • Plot acquisition date: Q4 2022
  • Plot size: ca. 23,000 m²
  • Distribution center floor area: ca. 14,000 m²
  • Start of construction: Q1 2024
  • Expected completion: Q4 2024
  • Leased for a fixed term
  • Estimated investment budget for plot + development: ca. €8 million

Extension in Erembodegem (BE)

In 2015, Montea acquired a plot of ca. 46,000 m² in Industriezone Zuid IV in Erembodegem, where it developed a 13,000 m2 state-of-the-art logistics distribution center featuring two cross-docking stations and ancillary offices for Movianto Belgium NV. During Q1 2024, Montea obtained building permits to build out the remaining floor area and extend the property by ca. 9,000 m². This development is expected to be completed during Q4 2024.

  • Plot acquisition date: Q2 2015
  • Plot size: ca. 14,000 m²
  • Distribution center floor area: ca. 9,000 m²
  • Start of construction: Q1 2024
  • Expected completion: Q4 2024
  • Tenant: Movianto, for a new 9-year fixed term
  • Estimated investment budget for development: ca. €8 million

Redevelopment of brownfield site, Vorst (BE)8

Montea acquired the 87,000 m2 former Lipton site near the center of Brussels in 2008 and left the rental contracts in place at the time to run their course. In 2013, after the leases expired, Montea began to demolish the oldest buildings and replaced them with new, sustainable distribution centers for companies such as Options and Sligro. During Q2 2023, Montea obtained an environmental permit to redevelop the final phase of the project which spanned ca. 55,000 m². After cleaning up this brownfield site, Montea is in the process of developing a ca. 21,000 m² sustainable e-commerce home delivery center for Delhaize. Montea is on track to complete the new e-commerce center by early fall 2024.

In February 2016, Montea became the exclusive partner for the development of the Blue Gate logistics plot in Antwerp, with the focus on developing 'next generation' properties that combine a unique level of sustainability with low-impact urban distribution.

In September 2022, Montea completed the first Belgian delivery station for Amazon Logistics on the Antwerp Urban Logistic Accommodation (AULA) site at Blue Gate Antwerp. The second phase which is currently underway involves the construction of a new ca. 16,000 m² 'energy positive' logistics distribution center, meaning it will generate more (green) energy than it will consume.

Montea expects to complete this development during Q3 2024:

  • Plot acquisition date: Q4 2023
  • Plot size: ca. 26,000 m²
  • Distribution center floor area: ca. 16,000 m²
  • Start of construction: Q4 2023
  • Expected completion: Q3 2024
  • Tenants: Herfurth, on a 12-year fixed term lease and Dries Van Noten on a 6-year fixed term lease
  • Estimated investment budget for plot + development: ca. €20 million

Logistics Park A12, Waddinxveen (Phase 2) (NL)9

In August 2020, Montea acquired a ca. 120,000 m² plot in Waddinxveen. In the first phase, Montea constructed a ca. 50,000 m2 distribution center, which is let to HBM Machines.

The second phase, which is currently well underway, involves the construction of a new ca. 50,000 m² sustainable, state-ofthe-art chilled and frozen food distribution center for Lekkerland – a company that forms part of the German REWE group, provider of innovative retail solutions and logistics services. Lekkerland and Montea signed a long-term 15-year index-linked rental agreement.

Montea expects to complete this development during Q3 2024:

  • Plot acquisition date: Q3 2020
  • Plot size: ca. 60,000 m²
  • Distribution center floor area: ca. 50,000 m²
  • Start of construction: Q3 2023
  • Expected completion: Q3 2024
  • Tenant: Lekkerland Netherlands B.V. on a 15-year fixedterm lease
  • Estimated investment budget for plot + development: ca. €45 million

Amsterdam (NL)

During 2023, Montea broke ground on a ca. 7,000 m2 logistics property set on a ca. 11,000 m² plot of land. With land very hard to come by in Amsterdam, this is a unique and strategically positioned plot.

  • Plot acquisition date: Q4 2023
  • Plot size: ca. 11,000 m²
  • Distribution center floor area: ca. 7,000 m²
  • Start of construction: Q4 2023
  • Expected completion: Q4 2024
  • Tenant: leased on a 10-year fixed-term lease
  • Estimated investment budget for plot + development: ca. €13 million

Other projects in the pipeline – ca. 468,000 m²

Montea also expects ca. 468,000 m² of strategically-located prime lettable area across Belgium and the Netherlands to enter development in the near future – Tiel, Tongeren and Born will be the largest sites.

  • To date, building permits have been obtained for around 61% of these projects. Construction is due to begin as soon as tenants have been secured for these projects, and with Montea now at an advanced stage of negotiation with various prospective tenants, the company expects work to begin in the near future.
  • To date, Montea has pre-let around 25% of these projects, however final permits have not yet been received. It expects the land to enter development in the near future once the necessary permits have been issued.
  • To date, approximately 15% of these projects do not have a tenant or a final permit in place. Based on ongoing negotiations, Montea expects to obtain these permits and sign leases in the near future.

1.2.2.2 Future development potential

With a remaining 1.4 million m² in its land bank, Montea retains significant future development potential, giving it the necessary flexibility both now and in the future to schedule and carry out investments, and in turn offer value uplift to all stakeholders.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated Information 13 / 45

1.2.3 Sustainability investments

1.2.3.1 Advances in the PV portfolio

Logistics properties generally have flat roofs, which makes them ideal for installing solar panels. Montea is therefore in no doubt that it will play a crucial role in enabling its clients to access renewable energy supply and reducing their energy costs, for example via the installation of solar panels. This is why a large part of the sustainability investments scheduled for 2024 will relate to the additional roll-out of PV installations across Montea's portfolio.

70 MWp total capacity (installed) Energy for 19,650 households Equivalent to 1,200 hectares of forest in terms of CO2 uptake

In Q1, Montea increased its total PV installation capacity in Belgium, the Netherlands and France to 70 MWp, while fitting ca. 96% of the portfolio with solar panels, installing them where this was technically feasible and did not require significant retrofit works. Montea aims to install and activate solar panels at the remaining 4% of its properties before the end of 2024.

In 2024, by fitting all new properties with solar panels and adding capacity at existing sites, the company expects to push its PV installation capacity up by ca. 18 MWp to a total of ca. 88 MWp. Montea has set an investment budget of ca. €8.6 million for this additional roll-out in 2024.

1.2.3.2 Energy-saving measures at existing portfolio properties

Montea remains focused on optimizing existing sites to ensure it maximizes the energy efficiency of its portfolio wherever possible. This will not only provide long-term financial benefits, but Montea believes that it will also have a positive impact on other areas, such as helping to enhance the work environment, reduce costs and CO2 emissions, and in turn improve tenant satisfaction.

These energy-saving improvements include disconnecting sites from the gas grid and switching them to heat pumps, replacing and further insulating roofs, and relighting and installing (additional) electric charging points.

For example, by using heat pumps, buildings can be heated and/or cooled more sustainably (without using fossil fuels). Montea aims to have fully disconnected half of the sites in its portfolio from the gas grid and switched them to heat pumps by 2030. This will be achieved by replacing the existing gas heating systems or older heat pumps at the existing sites with heat pumps running on green electricity and by always opting for energy-efficient heat pumps at its new construction projects. At the end of Q1 2024, around 32% of the properties in our portfolio were not using any fossil fuels and were running solely on modern, energy-efficient heat pumps.

This, combined with the solar panel roll-out at existing portfolio properties, means that currently more than 96% of our properties are already using renewable energy.

Meanwhile, Montea continues to implement its relighting program at its warehouses, with the aim of switching the entire portfolio to energy-efficient LED lighting by 2030. At the end of Q1 2024, energy-efficient lighting had been installed at around 84% of properties in the portfolio.

Montea is also committed to investing in the façades and roofs at its properties given the energy efficiency benefits that this can bring. A well-insulated roof helps to optimize the indoor temperature and reduce the energy bills of our clients, making the replacement of roofs and installation of additional insulation a priority for Montea.

At March 31, 2024, ca. 72% of the properties in the portfolio were fitted with a combined total of around 700 EV charging facilities. Montea installs charging points at all of its new developments but is also investing in EV charging at existing properties in order to assist with the energy transition of its clients. Montea is also exploring the option of installing electric truck charging facilities.

1.3 Key events and transactions during Q1 2024

1.3.1 Rental activity

100% occupancy rate and rental activity

On March 31, 2024 the occupancy rate stood at 100% – unchanged compared to year-end 2023.

A total of 81% of the equivalent of 9% of rental income expiring in 2024 has already been extended or renewed.

The equivalent of ca. 16,000 m² of leases were renegotiated during Q1 2024. This corresponds to ca. 1% of the contractual annual rental income, with the renegotiations generating around €0.1 million in additional rental income (+14% rent increase).

Montea's like-for-like rental income rose by 4.3%, of which 0.9% related to lease renewals or the renegotiation of existing leases. The increase in like-for-like rental income which is index-linked amounted to 3.4%.

1.3.2 Divestment activity

No divestments were made in the first three months of 2024.

1.3.3 Developments regarding Dutch FBI status

For the purpose of its real estate investments in the Netherlands, Montea submitted a request to apply for the tax regime of 'fiscal investment institution' (FBI), as referred to in section 28 of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969, for Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries from 2013. During 2023, the Dutch tax authorities confirmed that Montea met the FBI requirements for the 2015-2022 financial years and therefore did not owe corporate income tax for that period.

In 2023 and the outlook for 2024, Montea is still taking a conservative stance in assuming the possibility that FBI status could be denied. This is why (estimated) EPRA earnings for 2023 and 2024 include additional tax provisions for the difference between FBI tax status and regular tax liability. These provisions, amounting to €3.7 million for FY 2023 and €3.1 million for FY 2024, may have a positive impact on future EPRA earnings if FBI status is awarded for these respective financial years, amounting to €0.18 per share for 2023 and €0.15 per share10 for 2024.

The fact that Montea was awarded FBI status for the period 2015 to 2022 has strengthened Montea's view that it also meets all the conditions for claiming FBI status for the years 2023 and 2024. As well as an additional positive effect on future EPRA earnings, the awarding of FBI status would also have a positive impact of €5.4 million on the portfolio result, due to the reversal of the provision for deferred tax on real estate. Denial of FBI status would have no impact on estimated EPRA earnings.

Montea's future approach regarding FBI status

As committed by European law and the awarding of FBI status for the years 2015 to 2022, Montea's goal continues to be to retain its FBI status in the Netherlands in 2023 and beyond. Montea will therefore file its tax returns (through to 2024) as an FBI, as Montea believes that it still meets all the conditions for claiming FBI status.

The announced real estate measure was passed into law via the 2024 Tax Plan. As a result, with effect from 2025, FBIs will be prevented from directly investing in Dutch real estate. This therefore implies that Montea Nederland B.V. and its subsidiaries will no longer be able to claim FBI status from 2025. The Dutch Tax Authorities took flanking measures to facilitate the restructuring of property FBIs, such as an exemption from real estate transfer tax.

1.4.2 Notes to the condensed consolidated (analytical) income statement

Net rental income

Net rental income in Q1 2024 amounted to €27.2 million, up 6% (or €1.5 million) compared to the same period in 2023 (€25.7 million). This increase is attributable to strong organic rental growth, combined with rental income from the acquisition of new properties and leased land, as well as completed projects. In an unchanged portfolio scenario (i.e. excluding new acquisitions, sales and property developments between the two comparative periods in 2024 and 2023), rental income increased by 4.3%, driven primarily by the indexation of rental agreements (3.4%) and the reletting of vacant units and renegotiations with existing tenants (0.9%).

Thanks to the automatic indexation of rental contracts, the logistics property sector is one of the few sectors in which inflation can be largely passed on to clients.

Property result

The property result at the end of Q1 2024 amounted to €28.3 million, an increase of €1.0 million (4%) compared to the same period in 2023 (€27.3 million). In addition to the net rental income, the property result also includes €2.1 million in revenue from solar panels, up from €1.8 million last year. Even though there is now higher capacity, the increase in revenue was relatively moderate, due to the fall in electricity prices compared to 2023.

Operating result before portfolio result

The company's property and general expenses, which are part of the operating result before the portfolio result, increased by €0.7 million in Q1 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This was due to portfolio growth, wage indexation, investments in further digitalization and the expansion of the team in order to achieve the pre-defined goals. Consequently, the increase in the property operating result before the portfolio result amounted to only 1% compared to Q1 2023 (from €23.5 million in 2023 to €23.8 million in 2024).

The operating margin11 for Q1 2024 is 84.1%, compared to 86.3% in Q1 2023. The EPRA cost ratio, normally higher in Q1 because of IFRIC 21, has increased compared to 2023. Montea expects that this ratio will reach ± 12% by year-end 2024, which is stable compared to year-end 2023. In order to ensure future growth, Montea is investing heavily in business development in France and Germany and in corporate services. In a market in which Montea particularly focuses on inhouse developments, these investments in the team will help drive rental income in the coming years. Montea aims to gradually increase its operating margin to 90% in the medium term.

Financial result

The financial result excluding changes in the fair value of hedging instruments amounted to €-2.9 million, compared to €- 4.8 million in the same period of 2023, a decrease of 38% (€1.8 million). This result includes €2.1 million in capitalized interest expenses on developments, calculated on the basis of an estimated finance cost (previously based on average cost of debt). In Q1 2023, €0.7 million in capitalized interest expenses on project developments was recognized, this being below the same period of 2024, due mainly to fewer ongoing developments in 2023 and, to a lesser extent, by the change of calculation method.

Of the total financial liability (including bond and lease liabilities, and including the recurring cost of land under concession), 97.3% was hedged as at March 31, 2024.

The average financing cost12\*, calculated on the basis of the average financial liability, in which our assets are unencumbered, is 2.3% at the end of Q1 2024 and has remained unchanged compared to year-end 2023.

12 This financial cost is the average figure for the last five quarters, based on the total financial result compared to the average of the opening and closing balances of the financial liabilities, without taking into account the measurement of hedging instruments and interest expense on lease commitments recognized in accordance with IFRS 16.

11 In order to obtain the operating margin, the operating result (before the portfolio result) is divided by the property result

Tax

For reasons of prudence, Montea still includes a tax provision in its income statement, assuming the potential that FBI status may be denied. This provision amounted to €1.0 million for Q1 2024, and relates in particular to the tax burden under the general tax regime.

As committed by European law and the awarding of FBI status for the years 2015 to 2022, Montea's goal continues to be to retain its FBI status in the Netherlands in 2023 and beyond. Montea will therefore file its tax returns (at least until 2024) as an FBI, as Montea believes that it still meets all the conditions for claiming FBI status.

EPRA earnings

EPRA earnings amounted to €19.8 million in Q1 2024, up 16% (€2.7 million) compared to the same period in 2023 (€17.1 million). This increase in EPRA earnings is primarily due to strong portfolio growth, with operating and financial expenses being closely monitored and managed accordingly.

EPRA earnings per share for Q1 2024 amounted to €0.98 per share, a 3% increase compared to the EPRA earnings per share for Q1 2023 (€0.95 per share), taking into account a 12% increase in the weighted average number of shares following the share capital increase carried out in November 2023.

Portfolio result13

The portfolio result for Q1 2024 amounted to €11.2 million (€0.56 per share14), an increase of €25.8 million compared to the same period in 2023 (€-13.4 million).

In 2024, the positive change in fair value of investment properties (€11.5 million) was driven by a combination of latent capital gains on project developments and a stable portfolio valuation, where changes in the yield applied and estimated market rental values are offsetting. The portfolio is valued at an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 5.1%, which is stable compared to year-end 2023.

The provision for deferred tax on the Dutch portfolio result, created for reasons of prudence (not obtaining FBI status, see the 'Tax' section), fell by €1.2 million in Q1 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

The portfolio result is not a cash item and has no impact on EPRA earnings.

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments

The positive change in fair value of financial instruments at the end of Q1 2024 amounted to €3.5 million, or €0.17 per share, compared to a negative change of €3.2 million at the end of Q1 2023. The increase of €6.7 million is due to the change in the fair value of the contracted interest rate hedging instruments, due to rising long-term interest rates.

The changes in the fair value of financial instruments are not a cash item and have no impact on EPRA earnings.

13 Portfolio result: this concerns the positive and/or negative changes in the fair value of the property portfolio, plus any capital gains or losses from the construction of properties, and taking into account any deferred taxes.

14 Calculated as the portfolio result based on the weighted average number of shares.

Net result (IFRS)

The net result consists of the EPRA earnings, the portfolio result and the changes in the fair value of financial instruments, as well as the impact of provisions for deferred tax on the Dutch portfolio result recognized for reasons of prudence (not obtaining FBI status, see the 'Tax' section).

The difference between EPRA earnings and the Q1 2024 net result was primarily due to the slight increase in value of the property portfolio and the increase in value of the financial instruments in 2024 compared to 2023.

The net result (IFRS) per share15 amounted to €1.72 per share, compared to €0.02 per share in 2023.

15 Calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares.

With the remaining land bank standing at around 1,417,000 m², Montea retains significant development potential. This gives it the necessary flexibility both now and in the future to schedule and carry out investments.

Around 1.6 million m² of this land reserve (ca. 70% of the total land bank) has been acquired and is valued in the property portfolio for a total value of €319.8 million, equivalent to a market value of €205/m2 . Moreover, 44% 16of this land reserve generates an immediate average yield of 5.7%. In addition, Montea controls around 0.7 million m² (ca. 30% of the total land bank) via partnership agreements it has in place.

16Due to the development of part of the land bank in Tiel and Born, no more rental income is received for those sites.

1.4.4.2 Breakdown of equity and liabilities

Total liabilities consist of shareholders' equity of €1,553.7 million and total liabilities of €928.5 million.

  • Equity attributable to the parent company shareholders (IFRS) amounted to €1,553.7 million as at March 31, 2024, compared to €1,518.3 million at year-end 2023. The non-controlling interest created by setting up the collaboration with the Cordeel group is no longer applicable, as the remaining shares were acquired during Q1.
  • Total liabilities of €928.5 million consist of:
    • Financial liabilities:
      • €137.3 million in credit lines taken out with six financial institutions. Montea has €327.5 million in contracted credit lines as at March 31, 2024, on which €190.2 million is undrawn;
      • €665.0 million in contracted bond loans that were fully drawn down, of which €235.0 million in green bonds which Montea contracted in 2021 (US private placement) and €380.0 million in green unsecured notes contracted in 2022 (US private placement);
      • 62% of the outstanding financing (€615.0 million) has now been issued under the Green Finance Framework.
    • Other liabilities:
      • a current lease liability of €58.9 million, consisting primarily of the recognition of a lease commitment relating to land under concession (entry into force of IFRS 16) and financing of the solar panels at the Aalst site;
      • €5.4 million in deferred tax; and
      • other liabilities and accruals17 amounting to €61.9 million.

The table below shows in which year the credit lines and bond loans will mature, based on the situation as at March 31, 2024. Montea always ensures that liabilities do not all mature in the same year.

17 Accruals primarily relate to rent billed in advance for the next quarter.

The weighted average maturity of the financial liabilities (credit lines, bond loans and lease commitments) was 6.3 years as at March 31, 2024, and has thereby remained relatively stable compared to December 31, 2023 (6.6 years).

The weighted average maturity of the interest rate hedging instruments was 6.8 years at the end of March 2024. The hedge ratio, which reflects the percentage of fixedrate financial liabilities and floating-rate financial liabilities hedged by a hedging instrument, is 97% at the end of March 2024.

The Interest Coverage Ratio* equals 4.2x in Q1 2024 and has remained unchanged from the same period last year. This means that Montea more than meets the covenants in terms of the interest coverage ratio entered into with its financial institutions.

The average annualized cost of financing debt was 2.3% for Q1 2024, compared to 2.2% in the same period last year.

With an EPRA LTV of 34.8% at the end of March 2024 (compared to 33.5% at the end of December 2023) and a Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted)18 of 6.8x, Montea's consolidated balance sheet demonstrates that the company has a high level of solvency. Each investment is assessed against Montea's financing strategy. This strategy consists of financing new investment properties with at least 50% equity and a maximum of 50% debt, which results in a maximum debt ratio of 50% and a Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted) of around 9x.

The EPRA Net Initial Yield was 5.1%, which is stable compared to year-end 2023, with indexation and portfolio changes offsetting each other.

Market performance remains healthy. This is demonstrated by the stable valuation of the existing property portfolio at an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 5.1%, the 100% occupancy rate, the unexpired term of leases to first break date of more than 5.8 years (excluding solar panels) and existing leases currently being 10% below market, in combination with upward pressure on market rents. Montea will continue to focus on prime strategic multi-modal locations as it expands further.

In terms of debt ratio19, Montea meets all the covenants it entered into with financial institutions, under which Montea may not have a debt ratio of more than 60%.

1.5 Significant events after the balance sheet date

There are no significant events after the balance sheet date.

1.6 Related party transactions

There were no related party transactions in Q1 2024, except those conducted on market terms, as is customary in the course of Montea's business.

18 To calculate Adjusted net debt/EBITDA, the net financial liabilities in the numerator are adjusted for current projects under construction multiplied by the debt ratio, as these projects do not yet generate an operating result but are already included under financial liabilities. In addition, the denominator is adjusted for the annualized impact of external growth.

19 The debt ratio, calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of July 13, 2014 on regulated real estate companies, is 36.4% at the end of March 2024.

2 Outlook

Result-based targets

With an investment target of €200 million per year, a high-quality portfolio with a high occupancy rate and index-linked rental income, Montea will be able to continue its profit growth and reaffirms its goals for 2024. Montea is also making an upward adjustment to its 2025 forecast, as the expected completion dates of a number of property developments have been brought forward.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated Information

  • 2024 – Increase in EPRA earnings to €4.55 per share
  • Investment target of ca. €260 million
  • Expected inflation rate of 3.1%
  • Dividend of €3.60 per share20
  • 2025 – Increase in EPRA earnings to €4.75 per share (previously €4.65 per share)
  • Investment target of €200 million
  • Expected inflation rate of 2.1%

These forecasts do not take into account the potential additional positive future effect on EPRA earnings if the FBI status is granted for the 2023 and 2024 financial years (combined ca. €0.33 per share21).

21 Based on a weighted average number of shares of 20,121,491 for the first three months of 2024

Maintaining strong fundamentals in a volatile macro environment

There is heightened demand for storage space and a lack of this type of property. This results in high occupancy rates and upward pressure on rents in most prime logistics areas. Logistics is taking on an ever more important role due to key trends such as the disruption of global supply chain networks, increased strategic stockpiling and reshoring. The e-commerce sector also continues to grow. Montea seeks to meet these challenges by providing innovative and sustainable property solutions.

Montea also aims to maintain its strong fundamentals in the years ahead. By focusing on specific types of clients and the sectors in which they operate (healthcare, recycling, etc.), as well as strategic locations with high added value (airports, water-related locations, etc.), Montea is able to optimize the expansion of its property portfolio. This strategy results in exceptional property-related performance indicators, such as a 100% occupancy rate for five consecutive quarters (and consistently above 99% since 2018) and long average unexpired lease terms to first break date (more than 5.8 years as at March 31, 2024). While the weighted average inflation rate is expected to be 3.1% in 2024, Montea expects that on average it can pass on ca. 3% of this to clients. The effect of passing on this indexation on like-for-like rental income in 2024 is estimated at 3.0%. Contractual rental income is currently ca. 10% below market rent, meaning it is well positioned to benefit from future rental uplift potential in a market where rents are continuing to trend upwards.

With controlled EPRA LTV of 34.8% and an Adjusted net debt/EBITDA of 6.8x at quarter end 2024, Montea's consolidated balance sheet demonstrates a high level of solvency. Despite increased interest rates, the expected average cost of debt will not rise above 2.5% over the next two years, thanks to Montea's hedging policy.

Montea also continues to focus on sustainability and is convinced that it can play a crucial role in reducing its clients' carbon footprint and energy costs. Sustainable value creation is essential to ensure our long-term growth. Wherever technically possible, Montea expects that 100% of its roofs will be fitted with PV installations by the end of 2024. Montea is also making energy-saving improvements at existing sites, for instance by disconnecting sites from the gas grid and switching them to heat pumps, installing energy-efficient LED lighting, replacing and further insulating roofs, and installing additional electric charging points.

Annexes

ANNEX 1: EPRA Performance measures

EPRA earnings – EPRA earnings per share

  • Definition: The EPRA earnings are the net earnings (after recognition of the operating result before the portfolio result, minus the financial results and the corporate income tax, excluding deferred taxes), minus the changes in the fair value of property investments and real estate intended for sale, minus the result from the sale of investment properties, plus the changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The EPRA earnings per share are the EPRA earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares for the financial year.
  • Purpose: The EPRA earnings measure the company's operating profitability after the financial result and after taxation of the operating result. It is an important measure of the underlying operating results generated by a company from letting real estate. It indicates to what extent the current dividend payments are supported by earnings. The EPRA earnings per share measures the net result from the core activities per share.

EPRA NAV – EPRA NAV per share

The EPRA NAV indicators are obtained by adjusting the IFRS NAV in such a way as to provide stakeholders with the most relevant information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The three different EPRA NAV indicators are calculated on the basis of the following scenarios:

Net Reinstatement Value: is based on the assumption that entities never sell assets and aims to reflect the value needed to rebuild the entity. The purpose of this indicator is to reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including Real Estate Transfer Taxes.

The EPRA NRV per share is the EPRA NRV based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date.

Net Tangible Assets: assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby realizing certain levels of deferred taxation. This is the NAV adjusted to include properties and other long-term investments at fair value and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallize in a long-term investment property business model.

The EPRA NTA per share is the EPRA NTA based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date.

IFRS NAV per share is calculated by dividing IFRS equity capital by the number of shares entitled to dividends on the balance sheet date.

that the company sells the assets, leading to the realization of deferred taxes and the liquidation of debt and financial instruments. This NAV should not be viewed as a liquidation NAV, since the fair value is often not equal to the liquidation value.

The EPRA NDV per share is the EPRA NDV based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date.

EPRA vacancy rate

  • Definition: The EPRA vacancy rate corresponds to the complement of the occupancy rate, except that the occupancy rate used by Montea is calculated on the basis of square meters, whereas the EPRA vacancy rate is calculated on the basis of the estimated rental value.
  • Purpose: The EPRA vacancy rate measures the vacancy rate in function of the estimated rental value, without taking account of unlettable square meters intended for redevelopment, or the land bank.

EPRA NIY & EPRA 'topped-up' NIY

Definition: The EPRA NIY is the annualized rental income based on the cash rents passing on the balance sheet date, minus non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, plus the (estimated) acquisition costs. The EPRA 'topped-up' NIY integrates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY for the expiry of rent-free periods (or other unexpired rent incentives such as discounted rent or stepped rents).

Purpose: To introduce a comparable benchmark for portfolio valuations within Europe.

EPRA cost ratio

  • Definition: The EPRA cost ratio is calculated by dividing administrative and operating expenses (including or excluding direct vacancy costs), by gross rental income.
  • Purpose: The EPRA cost ratios are intended to provide a consistent basis pursuant to which companies can provide more information about the costs where necessary. It is a key measure to enable meaningful measurement of the changes in a company's operating expenses.

Calculation:

17.9% 15.8%

The EPRA cost ratio is higher in Q1 because of IFRIC 21. Montea expects that this ratio will reach ± 12% by year-end 2024, which is stable compared to year-end 2023 (12%). In order to ensure future growth, Montea is investing heavily in business development in France and Germany and corporate services. In a market in which Montea particularly focuses on carrying out developments in-house, these investments in the team will help drive rental income in the coming years, albeit at a slower pace. The EPRA cost ratio is therefore expected to gradually decline again in the coming years.

Definition: The EPRA LTV ratio is calculated by dividing the net debt by the total property value (solar panels included).

EPRA LTV

Purpose: The EPRA LTV is a key measure to determine the percentage of debt relative to the assessed value of properties.

(Adjusted) Net debt/EBITDA

Definition: The net debt/EBITDA is calculated by dividing the net financial liabilities, i.e., long-term and short-term financial liabilities minus cash and cash equivalents (numerator), by the EBITDA of the past twelve months (TTM)24 (denominator). EBITDA is considered the operating result before the portfolio result, plus depreciation.

To calculate the Adjusted net debt/EBITDA, the net financial liabilities in the numerator are adjusted for current projects under construction multiplied by the debt ratio, since these projects do not yet generate an operating result but are already included under financial liabilities. In addition, the denominator is adjusted for the annualized impact of external growth.

Purpose: This APM gives an indication of the length of time a company would have to operate at its current level in order to pay off all its liabilities.

Interest Coverage Ratio

Definition: The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of the operating result before the portfolio result and the financial income by the net interest costs.

Purpose: This APM indicates how many times the company earns its interest charges.

Calculation:

INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO (IN EUR X 1 000) 03/31/2024 03/31/2023
Operating result, before portfolio result 23,809 23,549
