Annual Report
Open in ViewerOpens in native device viewer

Dear shareholder, customer, partner,
We want to present you Montea's 2022 annual report. It is the direct result of a great deal of calculation and writing work, but also (and above all) of yet another year of unconditional commitment by our Monteaneers. For it is they who make the baseline of this report possible each and every day: they make space for the future. A bright future, because despite the challenging environment with rising interest rates and high inflation, 2022 was also a more than strong year.
To give the future all the space it needs, we have set our sights a little further on ahead and have identified five megatrends: societal changes that will help determine the future while playing an important role for us as well. There is the inevitable energy transition, the search for smart logistics and the reconciliation of those logistics with a liveable city. We are also becoming increasingly aware that space is scarce and of the enormous value of human capital. All these megatrends are firmly embedded in our goals and will continue to serve as our signposts in the coming years.
Space for growth will be needed in order to respond to these megatrends. With €473 million, our portfolio registered the largest single-year growth ever, consisting of €362 million of investments and €111 million upgrading of the existing portfolio and development margin. Our total portfolio is now worth €2.2 billion. We generated EPRA earnings of €67.7 million in 2022, up 12% compared to the previous year.
We closed 2022 with earnings per share of €4.10. This already represents 75% of the EPS growth promised in Track'24. This performance will enable us to pay a gross dividend of €3.30 per share.
Making space for the future obviously means looking ahead first and foremost. That is precisely what we are doing with our Track'24 trajectory. And we are right on track. We want earnings per share to grow to €4.20 and the dividend to €3.38 per share in 2023 and expect to achieve an investment volume of around €160 million, at an average initial yield of at least 6%, mainly on our own land positions. We moreover want earnings per share to rise to €4.30 by end 2024, up by more than 20% compared to 2020.
We are also on track in terms of absolute growth. We have already exceeded half of our targeted investment volume of over €800 million halfway through our ambitious growth plan. Since the beginning of 2021, we have an identified investment volume of €589 million, €534 million realized and €55 million in execution - at an average net initial yield of 5.4%.
Space for the future in 2022 referred also to self-knowledge. We want to know clearly what we stand for and how we want to profile ourselves in the future. To do that, we undertook a comprehensive strategic exercise and developed a brand passport. Montea stands for ambition, leadership, focus on sustainability and attention to people.
We aspire not only to grow, but also to take the lead in our sector. We have a strong position, based on solid core values and a clear strategy. We can only maintain that position in the future by anchoring our focus on sustainability and never losing sight of the enormous value of our our customers, stakeholders and Monteaneers.
Finally, sustainability is also inextricably linked to the future. Our first sustainable pillar is therefore future-proof logistics real estate with an eye on sustainable growth. The logistics of the future must think out-of-the-box to use space that is already scarce as efficiently as possible. Our development for Amazon at Blue Gate Antwerp is a sterling example. By responding to the societal issues of tomorrow, we also secure ourselves as much financial growth as possible. From Track '24 to our smart multimodal buildings, we are creating sustainable space(s) for the future.
A second pillar is our path to climate neutrality. Our own buildings are already climate-neutral with offsets. The goal of no longer needing offsets by 2030 lies within reach.
We also earned well-deserved recognition for our ESG strategy in 2022: We scored higher (77%) on the GRESB scale than previous year. In so doing, we are best in class in two categories: our buildings consume less energy and emit less CO2. We also carried away a gold medal at the prestigious EPRA sBPR awards.
The third - and as far as I am concerned the most important – pillar consists of our people as the driving force and our social commitment. Without Monteaneers there would be no Montea, no positive ESG results, no positive financial story. Those who proudly help write the Montea story with immeasurable dedication and who, in the meantime, also pursue socially relevant projects, are the ones who really make space for the future.
You read it: Montea is doing well. We are looking to the future with confidence. The demand for modern, sustainable and smart logistics real estate solutions will continue to rise. With the excellent results of 2022, all Montea employees and I are eager to work with our customers and shareholders to make space for a sustainable future in the years to come.
Now let's make space for 2023!
Jo De Wolf Chief Executive Officer

1.1 2022: an overview
2 Largest portfolio growth during a single year in Montea's history of €473 million, consisting of €362 million of investments, €79 million of revaluations of the existing portfolio and €32 million latent capital gains from recently completed projects, resulting in a total portfolio of €2.2 billion.
The investments made in 2022 fit perfectly within the outlines of Track'24 and are a mix of:



We earned valuable recognition for our ESG strategy from both GRESB and EPRA. For the reference year 2021, we achieve a score of 77% on the GRESB scale, up 8% compared to 2020. In the various categories analysed by GRESB, we scored "Best in class" compared with our sector competitors in two categories: energy consumption by and greenhouse gas emissions from Montea's buildings. These are the categories in which we aspire to make a difference. Furthermore, we took home gold at the EPRA sBPR awards, after winning silver last year.

Patrick Abel Country Director Germany

Luc Merigneux Country Director France

Annual Report 2022

With the recruitment of Luc Merigneux as country director, we want to significantly accelerate the growth of the French portfolio. This of course in qualitative manner, based on the formula that has proved successful in Belgium and the Neth erlands, through in-house developments and strategic partner ships with established players. Together with the local French team, which he has already been able to expand by recruiting 3 key business profiles, Luc is helping to shape the Track'24 growth plan. Today, we also want to strengthen our presence and clout in Germany, with the recruitment of Patrick Abel as Country Director Germany. Patrick will build his own team following the same formula so as to boost the portfolio.
We successfully completed a new US Private Placement during the second quarter of 2022 with an issue of €380 million of Green unsecured notes. The notes were split into four tranches with maturities of 8 and 10 years. This is the largest financing operation in Montea's history. Through this transaction, more than 50% of the outstanding financing has now been issued under the Green Finance Framework, in order to (re)finance sustainable projects with a clear environmental and social benefit.
The general meeting of shareholders of Montea Management NV held on 17 May 2022 approved the appointment of Lieve Creten as a new independent non-executive director for a three-year term. This appointment is part of a sound corporate governance policy whereby we keep the number of independent directors stable.
Furthermore, in September we welcomed Dirk Lannoo as strategic advisor to the Montea investment committees in the various countries. He will advise the board of directors on new investment and development projects, with a focus on sustainable and versatile logistics real estate.
We launched a Human Capital scan in the first half of 2022 to find out what energizes or stresses our people. We can report with some pride that we are among the best scoring workplaces in terms of motivation and engagement, thanks to strong social energy through support between colleagues, a great team atmosphere and solidarity, support from managers and recognition from colleagues. The level of independence and variety, resources available and team efficiency also score high. All these elements lead to job satisfaction, emotional loyalty and a desire to be a permanent part of the Montea team.

The year 2022
14 15 (*) Net-zero CO2 differs from carbon neutrality as "net-zero" places a stronger emphasis on maximizing all options in the carbon hierarchy before using offsetting mechanisms. In the event that offsets are still needed, they should be carbon removal actions (i.e., offsets that remove carbon from the atmosphere) rather than actions to reduce emissions (i.e. offsets that only prevent new emissions from entering the atmosphere).

2.1.1 Our mission unravelled for you
We believe in strong, sustainable partnerships. Our customers, employees, suppliers or one of the many other stakeholders: we like to see each and every partnership for the long-term.
Using the available space smart is our core business. Smart therefore goes beyond just smart thinking. Our way of making space for the future is:
We create really big boxes. So thinking out of the box is more important than ever for us too. Every project is a new adventure and raises new challenges. What does our customer really need? What solutions can we implement to optimize our services and customer relations? In times when we are bumping up against the limits of available space, we believe in smart and innovative solutions.
With our feet firmly on the ground or putting our best feet forward... Whichever phrase you choose, FEET forms the basis of our values: Focus, Entrepreneurship, Expertise and Team Spirit.
Our values and attitudes form the foundation of our identity and contribute substantially to our growth. Our slogan 'We go both FEET in' reflects our determination to move full steam ahead at all times in our relationships with customers, employees and even the planet.
The right focus, with due proactivity and flexibility, enables us to achieve our strategic goals, respond quickly to changing market conditions and always spot new opportunities. Being proactive means taking initiative and anticipating future needs. Thanks to our flexibility, we can adapt at lightning speed to stay always one step ahead.

Our expertise, goal-orientated thinking and curiosity, ensure that we continue to learn and grow. Purposive thinking zeroes in on our strategic mission and sharpens our focus on our customers and employees. Curiosity enables us to discover and develop new opportunities time and again so as to expand and hone our expertise.

Entrepreneurship, with due pragmatism and ownership, inspires us to find creative solutions to the complex challenges in our industry and to go the extra mile each and every time. Thanks to our pragmatism, we make decisions quickly and effectively, while ownership encourages us to make the utmost of every opportunity, always with a sense of responsibility.
Finally, our team spirit, with due reliability and empathy, forms the bedrock of our commitment to all our stakeholders. By being reliable, we guarantee consistent quality. Thanks to our empathy, we understand and meet the needs of our customers and employees.

Times have changed. A company's strategy has long since ceased to focus (exclusively) on growth. An increasingly complex society and a planet calling for a more sustainable approach also lay claim to their share of strategic vision. That is why our strategy focuses on seven blocks based on our core values.
We make space for the future. Sustainability is therefore embedded in our DNA. It goes without further saying that we want to - and will - reduce our ecological footprint and we are constantly collecting relevant data to that end. But what we are going to do above all is use the available space as efficiently as possible. Ultimately, that is the lynchpin of our business. In this way, we stay one step ahead of the market and ever-changing legislation and standards, thereby striking a healthy balance with our relentless profit ambitions.
How do we achieve an organization 'fit for growth'? We go for targeted expertise internally and externally, and bring in such expertise or hire temporary staff as and where necessary. But above all, we give our own, qualified professionals an opportunity to develop their talents and acquire in-depth knowledge. At the same time, we encourage autonomy and empowerment, promote customer focus and foster commitment: the ideal mix for a challenging, rewarding work environment that supports teamwork, growth, talent development, creativity and initiative.
We want to create value for those who believe in us. Our portfolio is growing through investments with value creation. So we are not pursuing growth for growth's sake, but focusing on EPS growth. In doing so, we keep our debt ratio under control and increase value for our shareholders and investors by building a robust balance sheet, optimizing EPRA earnings and creating value through our own developments and active management of our portfolio.
Customer focus is a value we prize greatly. The needs of our clients come first in everything we do. Our job is to provide them with the best possible experience: from finding the perfect space to developing and managing buildings. We work closely with them to understand what they need and tailor our products and services accordingly. We listen to their feedback and make adjustments as and where necessary.
Space is becoming increasingly scarce. As a developing property investor, land ownership is one of our key strategic pillars. It enables us to invest in developing real estate projects that fit our vision and strategy. We draw on our large land bank to develop high-quality real estate projects that are in tune with market demand and contribute to our growth. It gives us the flexibility and freedom to plan and carry out our investments in such a way that we can achieve our goals while adding value for our stakeholders.
Developing new strategies remains a key focus. Together with our team of experts and advisers, we improve and broaden our services. To this end, we set up ecosystems so that we can maximize external inspiration and establish new partnerships with customers, developers, investors and research insti tutes. We are constantly innovating and improving our services to add value for our stakeholders.
Montea's story is ambitious, well thought out and sustainable. We therefore like to tell that story in a consistent way to all our stakeholders, which comprise our own team, (potential) customers and shareholders or journalists, policymakers and our colleagues in the real estate world: we like to keep Montea top of mind with each of them.

We make space for the future. You can take that literally. Montea NV is a public regulated real estate company (RREC). We specialize in the management and development of logistics real estate in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. All those packages - from pool tables to shampoo, medicines, food, the latest fashion trends, building materials or cars - have to be collected and/or distributed somewhere. Preferably in logical, easily accessible places that do not squander floor space that has already become scarce. Well, such locations are what we are all about.
Our goal is to develop and maintain a wide range of logistics real estate solutions, partly by acquiring, partly by developing real estate ourselves. We prefer to hold our properties for the long term, so that rental income is stable and can lead to a stable and – insofar as possible - growing dividend for our shareholders.
The number of parcels going back and forth is growing, and so is the market for logistics real estate. We remain a reference player in this field in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. After all, we offer more than ordinary warehouses: thanks to flexible and innovative real estate solutions, Montea creates space to grow for its customers – space for their future.
We have been listed on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris since 2006. We launched our activities as a public real estate investment trust in that year by bringing together various real estate portfolios of logistics buildings. Thus, we are a public regulated real estate company or a company with REIT status in Belgium (as GVV, which stands for "gereglementeerde vastgoedvennootschap") and France (as SIIC, which stands for "société d'investissement immobilier cotée"). We are supervised by the FSMA (Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority).
We make space for self-development. Monteaneers are entrepreneurs, team players. They are fundamentally positive-minded and curious. Appreciation and the opportunity to further develop your talents further are a given here. We are on our way to becoming a specialized leader by always capitalizing on the strengths of all our employees. For we have all the expertise, persuasiveness and communication skills to be and remain a pioneer in the real estate sector.
Monteaneers respond to the customer's needs, achieve the best results and are committed to their own development and that of their team like no other. They secure value for all customers, shareholders and other stakeholders each and every day through focus, entrepreneurship, expertise and team spirit chiselled deep into their DNA.
At Montea, we always start from equal opportunities and apply a high level of ethics, nondiscrimination and respect for the individual and the law - so everyone has the right to express themselves as well as the right to information and personal development.
Our short decision-making lines and horizontal organizational structure make for dynamic teamwork, which is pivotal to our growth process from commercial startup to international property management company.
These characteristics of the Monteaneers can also be found in the members of the board of directors.
Our board of directors is composed in accordance with article 4 of the RECC Act. The remuneration and nomination committee always takes diversity into account when new directors are appointed, not only in terms of the gender of the directors, but also in terms of skills, experience and knowledge. The more diversity on the board, the more balanced our decision-making: issues and decisions are dealt with from different points of view. ESG expertise is accordingly one of the core criteria for new candidate members.
The seven members of the board of directors stem from very diverse backgrounds: from banking over pharma to the postal and real estate sectors. All have extensive ESG expertise thanks to experience gained at Belgian and international companies that have been committed to ESG for years, such as the Bpost Group, Aedifica and Befimmo.

Montea on the stock market
Corporate governance declaration Risk factors Financial report
Montea is the life's work of Pierre De Pauw, one of Belgium's pioneers in logistics real estate since the late 1960s. He enshrined the principle of long-term value creation through the redevelopment of existing industrial sites. The IPO in 2006 marked a major acceleration for Montea: the value of the portfolio has risen from €100 million to more than €2 billion over a 16-year period. The successful growth story continues to be written by the founding family, which remains an active shareholder.
Without customers, there is no demand for real estate and so no Montea either. The needs of our customers are at the forefront of everything we do and every decision we make. They expect the best experience from us, whether it's finding the right location, or managing the right building or developing projects. We work closely together and take all feedback to heart, for this is the only way we can understand their needs fully and tailor our services and products accordingly.
The belief our shareholders and investors show in us is of inestimable value. And we want to give such in return to them by growing our portfolio. We do this with value-added investments, i.e. not just growth for growth's sake, but by focusing on EPS growth while keeping our debt ratio under control. A robust balance sheet, optimal EPRA earnings, added value through proprietary developments and active portfolio management combine to boost value for our shareholders and investors.
Our activities have a direct impact on society, particularly on mobility and the use of space. We are fully aware of this and are actively seeking to strike a workable balance for all our stakeholders.
We are only too happy to tell our well thought out, sustainable and ambitious story to our stakeholders who consist of our own team to (potential) customers and shareholders or journalists, policymakers and our colleagues in the real estate world.
We have identified our key stakeholder groups and are committed to consulting them regularly and involving them in decisions as much as possible.

Annual Report 2022

Our society is changing at dazzling speed. This has an impact on how we live (today and tomorrow) and what the future of our planet looks like, which must not be underestimated. As Montea has both feet firmly planted in the logistics and spatial sectors, we have an enormous impact and therefore responsibility as well.
So we asked ourselves the question: what are the burning issues in our society and in which of them can we play an important role? Where is our biggest impact and how can we exert a positive influence?
The exercise identified five themes. Five megatrends that are inevitably part of Montea's future. With these themes in mind, we eventually drew up our materiality matrix and are working towards our financial and ESG targets.
As property developers and investors, we cannot ignore the energy transition if we want to survive. Climate change and the scarcity of fossil fuels are forcing companies to assume their social responsibility and to contribute to a sustainable future, for instance by designing and erecting sustainable buildings that use less energy and generate fewer CO 2 emissions.
Developers as well as investors can reduce a building's energy costs by resorting to sustainable technologies and energy-efficient designs. This can lead to a higher sale or rental price, making it an even more attractive investment.
In a market where sustainability and energy efficiency are increasingly more important, we can stand out from the competition by focusing thereon, which can lead to a higher demand for the property and a better reputation in the market.
The energy transition moreover means that we have to prepare for scarcity of supply - such as the current congestion problem in the Netherlands - but also for increasing demand for electricity due to the use of more electric heat pumps and charging points for cars, vans and trucks. The integration and management of all renewable energy flows (solar and hydrogen, and battery storage) and of newer trends such as energy sharing also pose challenges.
Finally, the government is imposing increasingly more stringent requirements on the energy performance of buildings. It is therefore important that we comply with such regulations to avoid fines and other legal consequences.
Logistics is an indispensable part of our lives. The COVID pandemic was quick to highlight how essential it is - from stocking department stores to delivering a bouquet of flowers to a loved one. Yet no one wants a big logistics building in their backyard; this stalemate is ever so relevant for us.
To make sustainable and smart logistics with consideration for society possible, we start from three action points for our buildings.
2 .
Millions of parcels cross our cities every day. But the city is first and foremost a place in which to live - the less traffic and transport, the more liable. That is why we strive for sustainable, smart and clean urban distribution.
Sustainable urban distribution ranges from electric cargo bikes to more efficient loading for transport. The following aspects are undeniably linked thereto and are part of our vision for the future:
Annual Report 2022
Space has become a scarce commodity. With the rising demand for warehouses, it is already overused. How can we use the available space as efficiently as possible and still keep meeting the demand?
An issue that has occupied our minds for longer than today and is the driving force behind three key actions.
In times when technology and globalization are changing the way we work and do business, the role of people cannot be underestimated. In the past year, we have once again seen our belief in and importance of people confirmed. Our employees continue to be the driving force behind our success.
This is definitely not a temporary trend for us. It is a permanent feature. We respect and support our employees. Thanks to a sustainable culture and sufficient investment in personal development, we see higher productivity, better operating results and a clear competitive edge. This is how we make Montea grow and prosper sustainably while creating long-term value for our shareholders.
For the sake of clarity, our employees want to work for a company that is not focused solely on profit, but has a positive impact on the world as well. We therefore consider it essential to invest also in sustainability and development as to attract and retain talented employees.
Besides these five megatrends, there is an additional important pillar, namely the changing regulatory landscape. We have seen a lot of movement on the regulation front in recent years, and are monitoring this changing regulatory framework closely so as to meet future expectations at all times.
The Paris Agreement signed in 2015 includes an agreement between the relevant governments to limit global warming to 2°C (preferably 1.5°C). Against this backdrop, in 2020 Europe decided to usher in the EU Green Deal on behalf of all its member states: a growth strategy to make the EU a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy with a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 as its goal. As an intermediate target, net greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced by at least 55% by 2030.
The EU taxonomy is an essential part of the EU Green Deal. It is a uniform classification system that determines which economic activities are 'green' and is intended to distinguish between projects and economic activities that do or do not have a positive impact on climate and the environment. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a set of obligations to report on nonfinancial information. It ensures that companies consistently disclose sufficient information on the risks, opportunities and impacts of their activities on people and the environment. In 2026, we are expected to submit an initial report in line with the CSRD, based on 2025 data.
Besides changing legislation regarding sustainability at the European or national level, we also see a shift at the local level. There, we observe that environmental permits are becoming increasingly more difficult and take longer to obtain. In addition, local organizations or citizens' initiatives sometimes stand in the way of issuing a permit.
Finally, there is the uncertainty about future legislation that hinders the smooth handling of projects. Just think of the recent issues surrounding nitrogen in the Netherlands and now Belgium.
Although the EU Taxonomy and the CSRD are still in the midst of the implementation and development phase, we are convinced that these recent developments in the regulatory landscape will have a positive impact on the sustainable transition.
The five megatrends or societal challenges thus expose the spearheads of the future of logistics real estate. As it is impossible for us as a company to work on everything all at once, we commissioned a study by Finch & Beak. Together, we uncovered the key themes on which we base our sustainability strategy.
First, we analysed the materialities (key themes) of similar companies in the sector and examined trend reports and the most relevant frameworks and ratings for reporting on sustainability: the European Real Estate Association (EPRA), GRESB, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Euronext.
In selecting the themes, we took into account the GRI and SASB guidelines and requirements :
By this, we obtained a longlist of 15 potentially material themes. Workshops with the Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) project team and management led to 10 material, priority themes .
Finally, to arrive at the materiality matrix we mapped the answers to the following two questions for each material theme: • How important do our stakeholders consider this theme? • What impact can we have on the theme, taking into account risks and opportunities?
Impact Montea

Management validated and finalized the matrix and immediately distilled the four main themes:
In addition, they also identified four themes that are important for value creation:
The themes of diversity, inclusiveness and corporate governance are of great societal importance, but have been built into our structure for many years and have become a given and therefore received a lower score in the materiality index.

How we make space for the future Make progress for the future Management report
Montea on the stock market Corporate governance
We are looking ahead and making space for the future. Sustainability has been embedded in our DNA far longer than today: of course we want to - and will - reduce our environmental footprint and are constantly collecting relevant data to that end. But what will we do first and foremost? Use available space optimally and efficiently. This is ultimately the lynchpin of our business. In this way, we stay one step ahead of the market and ever-changing legislation and standards, striking a healthy balance with our relentless profit ambitions.
Based on the identified priority themes from the materiality matrix, our sustainable growth balance is inextricably linked to our overarching long-term strategy as set forth in chapter 2.
That growth strategy rests on three pillars:
Future-proof logistics real estate with a view to sustainable growth 2. On the way to climate neutrality
Our people as the driving force and our social commitment
With our sustainable growth strategy at the forefront, we still had to attach goals to it: concrete and clear, achievable yet ambitious.
We got down to work together with experienced experts to that end, and arrived at a sustainability vision for the medium (2030) and long (2050) term. For our final vision, we aligned the selected themes fully with our corporate strategy.
We used the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the overall framework for our sustainable growth strategy. The SDGs were set by the United Nations in 2015 as the new global sustainability agenda for 2030. They consist of 17 goals and 169 sub-targets that promote sustainable development.

| Overarching long-term strategy | Our sustainable growth strategy | |
|---|---|---|
| Sustainability | Pillar 1, Pillar 2, Pillar 3 | |
| People | Pillar 3 | |
| Value creation and growth | Pillar 1 | |
| Customer focus | Pillar 1, Pillar 2 | |
| Landbank and development | Pillar 1, Pillar 2 | |
| Innovation | Pillar 1, Pillar 2, Pillar 3 | |
| Communication and public relations | Pillar 1, Pillar 2, Pillar 3 |
Being ambitious is one thing, but how do we plan to achieve such high targets? What approach should lead to success in 2030 and 2050? We set realistic but also ambitious targets for each of our main objectives.
Because Montea works on three tracks, we also split certain aspects of our sustainability approach according to our three categories, which you will find in the following chapters.
From the cars we drive to the solar panels on the roof of our headquarters, our own operations cover everything relating to how Montea operates internally.
Everything that is newly developed or future new buildings, including our land bank, for example, falls under this category.
All existing buildings and sites already in the portfolio today fall under this category.

We can achieve this growth by continuing to focus on our strengths:

Ambitions and targets for 2030 and 2050 are obviously necessary, but we do not want to lose sight of value creation either. That is why in 2021 we proposed Track '24: a growth plan to attain a number of intermediate targets in terms of financial value creation in the years 2021 to 2024, always with sustainability targets in mind, in order to get a head start on the road to 2030.

Corporate governance declaration Risk factors Financial report Pillar 2
Within buildings, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions are inextricably linked. The decisions we make on insulation, heating, ventilation, and renewable energy in new developments have a direct impact on later operational energy consumption, which in turn affects greenhouse gas emissions.
We will promote and provide energy-efficient solutions throughout our entire portfolio. In doing so, we have set priority actions in our own operations, new developments and the existing portfolio for the medium (2030) and long (2050) term.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is an issue where we can undoubtedly make a significant impact. Buildings account for as much as 36% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the EU1 , 1 mainly due to construction, use, renovation and demolition. We aim to reduce our direct and indirect carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our operations, warehouses and entire value chain.
We divided the targets and results for this pillar according to our three categories: own operations, existing portfolio and new developments because each has its own specifications and focus areas.

We provide energy-efficient solutions and promote the use of renewable energy at Montea itself and in our portfolio.

We reduce Montea's direct and indirect carbon footprint by restricting the number of greenhouse gas emissions from our operations, our logistics property and our suppliers.

As Montea's portfolio is continuously growing, a like-for-like analysis is conducted each time. This analysis makes it easier to analyse trends based on a constant measurement scope which is always included in the tables.
To calculate the carbon footprint, the various energy consumptions (kWh) are charted. These are multiplied by their specific CO2 e emissions (= emission factor; kg CO2 e/kWh) to obtain the total emissions (kg CO2 e).
To map the energy consumption of the portfolio, we use data mainly from the energy monitoring systems, supplemented by data we requested from external parties (tenants, grid operators, energy suppliers...).
However, we have control over energy and water procurement in only 19% of the existing lettable area of 1,892,069 m² (1,574,964 m² of buildings). In case we do not have control over procurement, we have encouraged tenants to switch to green energy, and they followed up on the matter. We also took other initiatives as set forth in this report.
Energy indicators are presented in accordance with the EPRA guidelines and can be found in the EPRA table in chapter 11.

Montea on the stock market Corporate governance


In the previous chapter, you read all about our ambitious goals. But the proof of the pudding is still in the eating. How well are we doing? What progress have we made?
Interim results are invaluable: we know where we are on the right track and where we need to shift up a gear. We recognize trends and developments. In other words, we see where we currently stand and how close we are to our final goal.
The occupancy rate of our portfolio is exceptionally high and has been consistently above 99% since 2018. With an occupancy rate of 99.4% as at 31 December 2022 (99.7% in 2021), our portfolio remains almost fully let.
This high occupancy rate is a measure of the quality and good locations of the buildings. They clearly meet the real market demand, which allows as to state that we have made sustainable use of the space occupied, the raw materials used and the necessary energy resources for these buildings. 51% off the 9% of leases due to expire in 2023 have already been renewed or extended.

No divestments took place in 2022.
Since 2021, we have an identified1 investment volume of €589 million, €534 million already realized and €55 million in execution. On these identified investments, we expect to realise an average net initial yield of 5.4% excluding the land bank (and 4.8% including the land bank).
By developing part of our extensive land bank, we have significant in-house potential that we can develop at an average initial yield of at least 6% based on current construction and rental prices. Profitable investments in further sustainability of our property portfolio are also at the core of our investment policy.
An overview of all acquisitions, development and expansion projects realized in 2022 is set out below.
During 2022 we realised a total acquisition volume of approximately € 235 million. All acquisitions were acquired at an investment value below or in line with the value determined by the independent property expert.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we acquired a site of ca. 70,000 m² in Saint-Priest (FR). The investment budget for this site amounts to ca. €7.0 million. We expect to start developing the site in 2025.
In the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, we acquired a strategically located site in Zwijndrecht from LCN Capital Partners. This concerns a plot of land of ca. 64,000 m² with a warehouse production facility of ca. 25,700 m² with outside storage. The building is currently leased for a fixed period of 14 years to Jiffy Products International B.V.; a company specialized in the development of sustainable growth solutions for professional growers and breeders.

Montea on the stock market
At the beginning of the third quarter we acquired a warehouse in Avignon. It concerns a site of ca. 26,500 m² with a building of ca. 12,700 m². The building is currently let to DPL France - Rozenbal, a company specialized in the manufacturing and commercialization of household goods.
Acquisition of buildings from GVT, Alkmaar, Berkel and Rodenrijs & Echt (NL)2
During the first quarter of 2022, we reached an agreement on three new construction projects in the Netherlands that will be leased to GVT Transport & Logistics for a period of 10 years. The new construction project at Echt was delivered in the third quarter of 2022. Previously, during the first and second quarter of 2022, two new construction projects were already completed in Alkmaar & Berkel and Rodenrijs. All sites are extremely suitable for finemeshed distribution.
We managed to purchase a development plot of ca 6,000 m² in Vorst during the third quarter. The plot is adjacent to an existing site of ca. 65,000 m² already owned by us. We expect to start the redevelopment of ca. 20,000 m² in the course of 2023. The redevelopment includes a new urban distribution centre, for which the permit procedure has already started. Because the permit procedure is still pending, the redevelopment is not yet included in the identified investment volume.
In 2013, we acquired a first distribution centre of ca. 24,700 m² in Almere. During the second quarter we strengthened our portfolio by concluding two sale and lease back transactions in Almere and Zeewolde. The sites are ideally located with direct access to the A6 (Amsterdam - North Netherlands) and A27 (Breda - Almere) motorways. The total ground surface of these sites is ca. 61,600 m² with ca. 37,650 m² logistics space and ca. 4,600 m² office space and mezzanine. A lease agreement has been signed for a fixed period of 10 years for both sites.

During the first quarter of 2022, we reached an agreement with Urban Industrial for the acquisition of two buildings in Zwolle and 's Hertogenbosch, both currently leased to PostNL. The property in Zwolle is a 6-hectare site with a footprint of about 29,000 m². The property in 's Hertogenbosch is a 5-hectare site with a footprint of ca. 24,000 m². Both properties are strategically located at the entrance to the city and are thus ideally suited for e-commerce. Moreover, the presence of lots of outdoor space offers the possibility to extend.
At the start of the first quarter of 2022, we and a private investor reached an agreement on the acquisition of a logistics building in Tilburg leased to Barsan Group. The building has a surface area of 6,000 m² on a 2-hectare site. The site offers the possibility to extend the building in the future.
In Lembeek, located near the access road to the Brussels ring road, we acquired a site of ca. 55,000 m² in the course of the first quarter, for an investment value of ca. €10.0 million. The location is suitable for both logistical activities and urban distribution (south of Brussels). Montea expects to start developing the site in the course of 2023.
In the course of the first quarter of 2022, we concluded an agreement with Transuniverse Forwarding NV on the acquisition of a strategically located building in Ghent. It concerns a land of ca. 46,000 m² on which there are currently buildings of ca. 27,000 m². The buildings are leased to Transuniverse Forwarding NV, which offers transport solutions tailored to the needs of its customers, and to Oxfam Fair Trade CV, which promotes fair world trade. The location of the building along the R4 in Ghent makes the site of strategic importance in the long term, for example for future last-mile deliveries to Ghent.
Signing of purchase promise for a development site, Toury (FR) We signed a purchase promise at the end of the fourth quarter for a development site of ca. 545,000 m² in Toury, which is located between Orléans and the Île de France region. We expect to purchase the site early in the second quarter of 2023. The investment budget for this site is ca. €21.5 million. We expect to start developing the site in the course of 2024.

Land bank: development potential Overview of identified projects
We closed 2022 with a land bank of ca. 2.5 million m² which will enable us to bring our ambitions to fruition in the coming years. In 2022, we managed to acquire ca. 156,000 m² of land, of which we already had ca. 150,000 m² under control. In Belgium, this concerns a development site in Lembeek of ca. 55,000 m² and an industrial land of ca. 6,000 m² in Vorst. In the Netherlands, we managed to acquire three expansion sites in Tilburg, Zwolle and 's Hertogenbosch of ca. 24,000 m², and in France a development site of ca. 70,000 m² in Senlis. In addition, in the last quarter of 2022 we managed to acquire control over a land reserve located in Toury of ca. 545,000 m² in France. Finally, developments were started in Belgium on two sites in Tongeren of respectively ca. 44,000 m² and ca. 42,000 m² and in Vilvoorde on a site of ca. 22,000 m².

We have set up a Green finance Framework to bolster our sustainability ambitions and issue green finance instruments, including bond loans and credit agreements with banks to (re)finance projects with a positive impact on the environment and society. All information on the Green Finance Framework can be found on Montea's website.
In early 2021, we took a big step in our Green Finance Framework by raising €235 million through
In second quarter of 2022, we completed a new US Private Placement through the issuance of €380 million in green bonds.
Through these transactions, more than 50% of the outstanding financing has now been issued under the Green Finance Framework. The coupons are so-called 'green bonds'. The proceeds were used to (re)finance sustainable projects.
Montea will invest an amount equal to the incremental net proceeds from the green finance instruments in:
• The acquisition, development, construction and/or installation of on-site energy generation and storage systems (maximum emissions of 100g CO 2 e/kWh) for the buildings owned and/or managed by us or one of our subsidiaries

Projects are assessed by the Sustainable Executive Committee based on the criteria described above. Investments, expenditures and/or projects are proposed by the various internal departments.
The task of the het Sustainable Executive Committee consists of: • Screening, selection and validation of appropriate projects against the Green Finance
We report on the progress and, where possible, on the environmental impact of 'Eligible Green Projects' for which a green finance instrument has been used. Such reporting will each time start one year after the green financial instruments have been allocated. Once that has been done, we will report annually on the impact of our 'Eligible Green Projects'.
On 26 April 2022, we published for the first time our Green Finance Allocation and Impact report on the €235 million of green bonds issued in 2021 under the Green Finance Framework through a US private placement. The proceeds of this private placement were used exclusively to refinance sustainable projects such as sustainable buildings and renewable energy.
We are thereby saving 20,379 tCO 2 e of GHG emissions per year (equivalent to the annual CO 2 uptake of 1,306 Ha of trees). The impact and allocation of the issuance of €380 million of Green unsecured notes raised during 2022 will be calculated in the same way. We will publish a second "Green Finance Allocation and Impact report" at the end of April 2023.

We are proud to announce that our own operations are already carbon neutral, thanks to offsetting. Our goal is to be net zero by 2030.
We are of course aware that a carbon-neutral label for our own operations is not enough. We can in fact create a much greater impact with our new and existing projects.
The first column in the table below shows the emissions from Montea operations in tCO2 e1 .

(1) tonnes of CO2 equivalent; a standard unit for counting greenhouse gas emissions. Often referred to as the greenhouse gas CO2 . But besides CO2 , other, stronger greenhouse gases also have an impact on the climate, such as methane and nitrogen dioxide. When calculating the CO2 footprint, all these greenhouse gases are included in the calculation. Methane and nitrogen dioxide are then converted into so-called CO2 equivalents (CO2 e).

Expressed in m² (greenhouse gas emissions intensity), the progress is made more visible. If we look at the tCO2 e per full-time equivalent, we are improving by around 20% every year, and this is something we are proud of. We aspire to continue on this momentum and to reduce our emissions even further, an issue we discuss further in this chapter.

To determine the embodied carbon of a new development without any ambiguity, a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study should be conducted. Such a life cycle analysis shows the environmental impact of a building and more specifically of its constituent materials during its technical lifetime. A correct Life Cycle Assessment requires having the correct environmental product declaration (EPD-file) of each product and material. In practice, these EPD files are not yet available complete or correct for all products. This makes the calculation difficult. We commissioned such a thorough study for the Amazon project at Blue Gate, after which we found that a typical Montea building has an embodied carbon of 0.288 tCO2 e/m². We applied this result to the number of m² we developed this and the past year, so this year's completed projects caused a significant increase compared to 2021.
To portray the development of embodied carbon correctly, we also want to have the same in-depth analysis of our future development in Vorst and Tiel to quantify our progress. As not all materials for this project have yet been determined, we will carry out this analysis and LCA calculation in 2023 to quantify our progress. In any event, the embodied carbon of new developments remains a difficult parameter to calculate and control.

We also observe a slight increase in emissions per tCO2 e/m² for the existing portfolio. In this case, GHG emissions depend on energy consumption within the portfolio, expressed in consumption per m² (energy intensity). We know that more energy was consumed in 2022, given the return to work after two years during which COVID-19 had a major impact. The fact that we still observe a decrease in energy intensity means that the introduction of our energy-saving measures to the existing portfolio and of newly completed projects with lower energy consumption are actually paying off.

As a next step, consumption is expressed in tCO2 e using emission factors. Depending on how electricity is generated (via nuclear power plants, gas-fired power plants, etc.), a different emission factor is used. Under section 4.2.3.3. the emission factors are presented, where we see that they are higher in 2022 than in 2021. By applying these emission factors, we still end up seeing an increase in tCO2 e. We discuss this in greater detail later in this document (section 4.2.3).
In 2022, the total energy consumption of our offices amounted to 212.1 MWh, or 191.59 kWh/m². Compared to 2021, where consumption per m² was 211.7 kWh/m², i.e. down by almost 10%. This is remarkable, given the massive return to office. Did the higher energy prices perhaps trigger more energy-conscious behaviour, even in the office? Meanwhile, all electricity is generated via 100% green electricity and we only light through LED with daylight and motion control.

The increase in gas consumption in the Netherlands shown in the graph above is due to the start-up of our additional office in Amsterdam. In France, we switched from grey to green electricity. The building owner recently informed us that this office is connected to an existing heat network, whereupon consumption for 2022 was added to the graph. In the past, such consumption was not reported due to lack of information, so this gives a distorted picture. In Germany, we have only had a physical office since 2023, so data for this will be added only as of next year.
Energy consumption per m² (energy intensity) gives a clearer picture as shown in the graph below.
To calculate greenhouse gas emissions, the amount of electricity consumed and its origin, the amount of waste produced, the number of company cars, etc. are mapped. An emission is then assigned to this in tCO2 e.
In 2022, we emitted 156 tCO2 e (4.3 tCO2 e per FTE ), an improvement compared to 2021, when we emitted 169 tCO2 e (5.3 tCO2 e per FTE ). We offset these remaining emissions by providing financial support to the Sah Wind Project in Turkey (more on that later in this chapter).
16x the average emissions of a Belgian household
80 return flights Brussels→NY (economy)
It is a satisfying achievement that, despite the expansion of the team and return to office after COVID-19 and the related increased mobility, and the higher emission factors, we still managed to reduce our emissions from our own operations.

Mobility remains the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions at 115 tCO2 e (74%). Our goal of an all-electric fleet by 2027 addresses this chunk of emissions. 33% of Montea's fleet already consists of electric cars at this time. Long delivery times of new cars is delaying the roll-out of the electric mobility plan. We assume that this is transitory and we will stay on course towards our target. Electric cars have to be powered somewhere, of course, so we installed charging infrastructure at all our offices.
We want to be net zero in scope 1, 2 and 3 (mobility employees and upstream emissions of scope 1 and 2) by 2030, without an offsetting mechanism. We use the principles of the Science Based Targets initiative for this purpose.
Greenhouse gas emissions per category

To compensate the emission of our own operations, already now we support a project in Turkey.
Located in north-west Turkey, the Sah wind project aims to provide clean energy in a sustainable, cost-effective way. 35 turbines generate green energy that is sent to the national grid. The project promotes the use of grid-connected renewable infrastructure and markets it. It therefore aims to demonstrate the viability of wind energy thereby contributing to Turkey's sustainable development ambitions.
The choice of this project is not a coincidence. On the one hand, this is close to our second pillar and the path to climate neutrality, on the other hand, this provides support for the country after the recent earthquake in Syria and Turkey.
With its generally flat roofs, logistics real estate is an ideal building form for installing solar panels, to which we are firmly committed. In 2022, our PV installations generated ca. 49,000 MWh, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 14,000 households. By this, emissions of 13,060 tCO2 e were avoided in 2022, equivalent to the CO2 uptake of 840 hectares of forest. The PV installations also reduce electricity costs of tenants by ca. €350,000 on an annual basis.
71% of our sites (where technically possible) have a PV installation at this time, a figure we aim to increase to ca. 90% by the end of 2023. With the PV installations already planned, the tally already reaches 87%.
100%
We are also taking action where we can at existing sites to save as much energy as possible. For instance, buildings can be heated and/or cooled in a more sustainable way with heat pumps (i.e. without fossil fuels). The aim is to disconnect half of our sites from the gas grid and switch to heat pumps by 2030.
Meanwhile, we are continuing the relighting programme in our warehouses. Lighting in all older buildings will be replaced with energy-efficient LEDs. 23% of our sites had energy-efficient lighting in place at the end of 2022. The goal is to increase this to 100% by 2030.
There are many other opportunities to save energy, and such energy-saving measures will be integrated into the multi-year maintenance plans drawn up for all sites.


At the end of 2022, 44% of the sites had EV charging capabilities. We install charging stations at all our new construction projects, but investments in EV-charging are also being made at the existing portfolio to support our customers in their energy transition. We aim to equip at least 60% of our sites with charging capabilities by the end of 2023. We are also investigating options for installing charging facilities for electric trucks.
At the end of 2022, 51% of our sites already had a rainwater recovery system where rainwater is collected and used inter alia for sanitary facilities. Collecting and reusing rainwater is mandatory in Flanders, but not in the Netherlands and France. We nonetheless also do our utmost to collect and reuse rainwater in new-build projects.

To collect the data, we were able to make use of our thorough monitoring system, which enabled us to achieve a coverage for the measurement of electricity, gas and water (81%). The remaining 19% of consumption is reported to us by our tenants or extrapolated as and where necessary.
| Type Energy | Energy (kWh) | Energy intensity (kWh/m²) | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity | 83,494,407 | 53.0 | 70% |
| Heat or cold network | 943,421 | 0.6 | 1% |
| Gas | 33,846,613 | 21.5 | 29% |
| Total | 118,284,441 | 75.1 |
When we map the total energy consumption of our existing portfolio, we see that 29% comes from gas while 70% of the energy consumed is electric. 50% of the total electricity consumption in our existing portfolio comes from renewable sources (green electricity from external suppliers or local consumption of renewable generation).
ENERGY EXISTING PORTFOLIO
When we compare that total energy intensity of the portfolio to 2021, we see a decrease.
| Year | Energy intensity (kWh/m²) | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 93.4 | 18% |
| 2020 | 76.7 | 27% |
| 2021 | 75.7 | 81% |
| 2022 | 75.1 | 100% |
This decrease is due to several factors, such as the further introduction of energy-saving measures, such as the replacement of conventional lighting with LED lighting and the switch from gas heating to heat pumps. Our new developments are also bringing down the average energy intensity of our portfolio, as these will actually end up in the existing portfolio upon completion.
Based on all these initiatives, we would expect a larger decrease, but we note that electricity consumption was much higher in 2022 compared to 2021, which is the largest share in the above (+20% on an LFL basis). Causes can be identified in the switch from gas to heat pump, the rise of electric cars and the corresponding increase in the installation of a charging infrastructure and facilities. Also, returning to the workplace after a long home working period has an impact on the consumption of electricity at work.

Now, to get an idea of how we may see ourselves in a broader picture, we can benchmark ourselves against the decarbonisation path established by the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) which provides the real estate sector with transparent, science-based decarbonization paths in line with the Paris climate goals to limit global temperature rise.
If we compare the results of the analysis with the targets, we see that the energy intensity is 18% lower than projected in the CRREM targets for 2022.

Annual Report 2022
We can also express the energy consumption of our existing portfolio in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. The main parameter for operational greenhouse gas emissions is the greenhouse gas intensity (=kg CO2 e/m2). We start from the energy intensity (consumption of energy in kWh but represented in m²) multiplied by an emission factor. Emission factors are used to convert energy consumption in kWh into CO2 equivalents and are published annually by specialized bodies. This has different emissions depending on how electricity is generated. For grey electricity, for example, determining the emission factor depends on whether it comes from nuclear or gas-fired power plants, or is imported.
The table below shows development of emission factors in 2022 compared to 2021. The emission factors have risen sharply due to a changed energy mix in our various key countries. Only in France we see a decreasing emission factor, namely for grey electricity that has become less CO2 intensive due to the (re)start-up of nuclear power plants. Unfortunately, for the other emission factors, we see increases between 12% and 63%.
| Total Scope 1/2/3 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Emission factors (kg CO2 e/kWh) |
2022 | 2021 | Difference |
| Consumption grey electricity BE | 0.236 | 0.211 | 12% |
| Consumption grey electricity FRA | 0.083 | 0.109 | -24% |
| Consumption grey electricity NLD | 0.523 | 0.397 | 32% |
| Consumption grey electricity DE | 0.533 | 0.404 | 32% |
| Consumption green electricity EU | 0.025 | 0.015 | 63% |
| Generation and consumption of green electricity of solar panels on site - EU |
0.044 | 0.032 | 36% |
| Natural gas fuel - EU | 0.214 | 0.214 | 0% |
| Year | GHG intensity (kg CO2 e/m²) |
|---|---|
| 2020 | 14.3 |
| 2021 | 13.2 |
| 2022 | 14.5 |

If we now again compare the results of the analysis with the targets set by CRREM, but this time in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, we still see that the greenhouse gas intensity of our existing portfolio is much lower (-48%) than what was set in the 2022 targets. This is mainly caused by the relatively large share of green power in the portfolio. The ultimate goal is to reach the Paris Agreement targets for the entire portfolio by 2050.
We conducted a satisfaction survey in an effort to respond better to the needs and wishes of our tenants. For this, we sat down with about 50 tenants, with both people from the property team and management giving us feedback. The survey confirmed that general satisfaction among our tenants is very high. There is fast and open communication with our various departments and a good follow-up of problems.
We noticed that sustainability is also important for our tenants: an opportunity to tackle this issue together with them.
We want to help our customers emit fewer greenhouse gas emissions and reduce their energy costs, for if a building's consumption of (grey) energy decreases, greenhouse gas emissions will decrease too.
Mapping the portfolio's current greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption can help. We and our tenants can in fact use such data to benchmark organizations and to determine which actions are most effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and, at the same time, energy costs.
We also want to help our customers save energy as a result of operational activities. Energy audits were ordered for all sites in France to identify further improvements. In the Netherlands, we offered all tenants a sustainability coach as a year-end gift. He will visit all sites in early 2023 and provide sustainability advice. The initiative was received enthusiastically.

At the end of 2020, we purchased this site on the Vilvoordselaan in Brussels: a 30 year old building of 20,404m² (including 444 m² of office space), leased on a long-term basis to Van Moer Rail NV. We bought the building when it was still empty because we believed in the future of water-bound logistics. Shortly thereafter after, we found a partner as a tenant in Van Moer Logistics to achieve this goal.
The techniques in the building were outdated or even not available. There was only outdated lighting and an oil-fired heating system. There was no ventilation or rainwater recovery.
As we want to make our portfolio Paris Proof by 2050, we decided to refurbish the site thoroughly in 2022. All these measures will moreover make better use of the green electricity generated by the solar panels:
uptake of 5 hectares of forest).

Europe is in full transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050, for which an extensive electrification of carbon-intensive activities is crucial. The activities in and around our buildings at the Hulst are no exception. A complex ecosystem such as that of Hulst Park requires a multifaceted approach with various technological solutions that takes into account the wishes and aspirations of all companies involved.
Montea, Quares and Toyota Material Handling, with support from the VUB (University of Brussels) and Flux 50, joined forces to make this business park a frontrunner on the way to carbon neutrality, and to examine how to achieve this objective through cooperation in the fields of renewable energy, mobility and logistics. The feasibility study will be carried out in the coming months, to study and optimize the possible scenarios for the energy transition of the Hulst. Several commercially available technical solutions are being studied: local renewable energy generation, locally produced green hydrogen, energy storage systems, battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles.
Montea (as a board member) is involved in and a pioneer in making the Schiphol Logistic Park (SLP) more sustainable. After examining the sites on location, we will also look into joint opportunities to make them more sustainable, such as joint purchasing of services, which will reduce traffic on the site. The possibilities of exchanging generated solar energy will be explored further

With the Montea Blue Label for our new developments, we consciously set the bar high for ourselves and much more stringent than the legal requirements.
To reduce energy costs for and greenhouse gas emissions by tenants in the future, we set targets on the energy efficiency of new developments.
| Target year | Target energy efficiency in new developments (kWh/m²) Reduction | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 75 | 0% |
| 2022 | 50 | 33% |
| 2030 | 25 | 67% |
To achieve these goals, we created the Montea Blue Label: a sustainable building manual for new developments (more on this later).
Last year, we had a dynamic simulation drawn up for a generic building, based on the performance requirements set forth in our Montea Blue Label. The study shows that an energy efficiency of 25 kWh/(m².year)1 is certainly achievable for new developments. This means an acceleration of our target as new developments in Belgium already meet this maximum requirement of 25 kWh/(m². year) today instead of by 2030. New developments in the Netherlands currently meet the targeted maximum performance requirement of 50 kWh/(m².year). Consolidated, this brings us to an average of 43.5 kWh/(m².year) in 2022 for new developments, or a 42% reduction compared to the reference year. This energy intensity is 48% lower compared to the CRREM targets for 2022.
With generally flat roofs, logistics real estate is the ideal building form to install solar panels. We are therefore convinced that we can play a crucial role in reducing the carbon footprint and energy costs of our customers by putting maximum effort into solar panels (or PV installations).
A total of eight new PV installations were completed in 2022, for a total investment of ca. € 7.3 million. At the end of 2022, our PV portfolio consisted of 46 solar panel installations spread across Belgium, the Netherlands and France.
Annual Report 2022
We also want to firmly reduce the embodied carbon released when constructing new buildings. Since 76% of this is determined by the choice of product, it goes without saying that we continuously look for innovative, sustainable products (e.g. low-CO 2 concrete) and techniques. Furthermore, we avoid diesel on site. Materials are brought in by ship instead of trucks whenever possible and cement water is collected and disposed of – instead of being discharged -- on site. Finding the right suppliers and partners and taking big steps forward remains a challenge nonetheless, but we are rising to the challenge on that front too.
Determining the embodied carbon of a new building project unambiguously is actually a lot more difficult than it seems. To make a correct life cycle assessment, we need the correct environmental product declaration (EPD sheet) for each product and material. In practice, these EPD sheets are not yet available, complete or even correct for all products. This makes calculations difficult and increases the margin of error.

Cement-based products in particular play a decisive role in total CO 2 emissions in our type of buildings. This is due to the large volume, but also because of the large CO 2 impact per unit volume. We therefore conducted extensive research to reduce the volume of these types of products on the one hand and to reduce their CO 2 content on the other hand. In doing so, we still regularly collide with the limits of reality. For instance, low-CO 2 concrete is still in its infancy and it is very difficult to buy large volumes. The scarcity in the market then caused that a shift to other construction materials was very difficult last year.
We make space for the future by taking into account, in every building, circularity, life cycle and the energy consumption. We reduce greenhouse gas emissions and we put the well being of the customers first. We don't use harmful materials and substances, and will always chose flexible design - to guarantee long life of a building.
We developed this manual for new development projects in order to ensure the longevity of the buildings. The instructions have since become part of the standard equipment of new development projects
• a flower meadow around the building to promote biodiversity; • a monitoring system that maps out all consumption ((rain)water, electricity, ...).

We discuss all sustainability aspects with stakeholders and implement them wherever possible for new developments.
We also reassess our material choices continuously, looking for innovative and circular materials that last a long time and allow for easy repair, dismantling, reuse or recycling, without having a major impact on the environment. The implementation of these measures and a smart and studied choice of materials will reduce the embodied carbon further in new developments.
The manual also clearly defines how to work with suppliers and what is expected of them. There is a ban on diesel units on the construction site, for instance. We ask our suppliers to handle all waste on site, to sort it in accordance with BREEAM guidelines and to transport construction material by water if possible.
Moreover, we have already installed an electric battery for all site power supplies on certain projects. This battery is charged at night by a limited site connection to the electric grid. This way of working ensures that a usually limited electrical power can be efficiently used during the construction phase to have a sufficient power during the day.

In September 2022, we delivered the first Belgian delivery station for Amazon Logistics, on the Antwerp Urban Logistic Accommodation (AULA) site at Blue Gate Antwerp. The building consists of ca. 5,800 m² of storage space, ca. 2,200 m² of office space, ca. 500 m² of mezzanine and a parking tower with 5 floors of ca. 8,000 m² each. The delivery station for Amazon thus qualifies for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREAM) "Excellent" certification).
The new delivery station is part of a larger site on which we are developing an urban logistics estate. It is located on the first ecoeffective, water-bound industrial estate in Belgium. We have been the exclusive partner for the development of the logistics zone at

Blue Gate Antwerp since 2016.
The new building, on the site of the old petroleum port, is a brownfield development and a textbook example of our Montea Blue Label building regulations.
LED lighting was accordingly installed throughout, the heating is connected to Antwerp's heat grid, there is a 758 kWp PV installation to supply the building with renewable energy, and extra attention has been paid to efficient and circular insulation and airtightness of the building envelope so as to bring the total energy consumption below 25 kWh (m².year).
The facade and roof were constructed entirely in layers - all materials were mechanically fastened so that they can be dismantled separately in the future, without further contamination.
These applications result in a flexible building with efficient use of space, very low energy consumption and low CO 2 emissions as well - all with due attention to circularity and the life cycle of the materials used, and with an eye for the well-being of the people who work there.
A number of requirements were imposed on the contractors during the construction phase. Although their CO 2 impact on the overall construction process is rather limited, these measures create a general awareness among all the parties involved. • A large part of the construction materials was brought in via the Schelde river. • Diesel generators were banned on the construction site. Power was provided by a battery.

With the arrival of Steven Claes as the first Chief Human Resources Officer in 2022, a new focus was placed on the entire recruitment process. We increased speed and efficiency around recruitment. We introduced an internal objective assessment of every final candidate to align job requirements with our cultural and value aspects.
We moreover improved the onboarding of new employees significantly to make sure that they feel immediately welcome (IT tools, introduction session, introduction to the company culture, regular check-ins...). It is essential that everyone in the team feels involved and valued. We give our employees a lot of autonomy and encourage them to contribute ideas. This policy ensures a high level of involvement and ownership among the employees. We have a great team and want to do everything we can to keep each of our employees on board and let them grow together with the company, within their capabilities and ambitions

We attach the utmost importance to the mental well-being of our employees, which we gauge through regular check-ins with managers and a biennial survey: the Human Capital Scan.
As we expand into Germany and grow in the other key countries, the connection between all employees is crucial. Setting up an internal digital communication platform will contribute to this as one of many enablers. We took the first steps in this direction in 2022 with an initial analysis of the offering.
This is in line with the wider need in the organization for (internal and external) communication and marketing to play an important role. We decided to look for a Head of Communication and Marketing to support the current team.
Finally, we encourage our employees to participate in sporting events such as the Kampenhoeve trail run (cf. infra).
After a long period of working from home, we found it useful to organize some functional and groupstrengthening events. Our Monteaneers seized these moments to establish a solid foundation of (re)connection, friendship and informal gatherings.


Sustainability is an essential part of our strategic activities and we want to raise awareness and increase its importance among all our stakeholders. Our employees are also increasingly taking the initiative and responsibility to take actions.
The Sustainability Committee has as its purpose to raise awareness about the environment, bring change in environmental behaviour in the office and engage in corporate social responsibility projects.
Actions ranging from a car-free day to switching to recycled printing paper or collecting caps for the Belgian Guided Dog Centre have made the impact of this committee immediate.
Unlike the "Sustainable Executive Committee" in the previous chapter, the Sustainability Committee from this section sets up initiatives that relate to how we can integrate sustainability into behaviour and feelings at work.
There were two workplace accidents at Montea – one Monteaneer suffered an accident in a team building activity, while another proved that riding a moped to work does not appear to be without risk.... Fortunately, both parties recovered quickly!

The personal growth of our Monteaneers is paramount, not only for the quality of service to our customers, but also in order to strengthen our economic and social performance. Montea's vision for Track'24 and beyond is to promote the professional and personal growth of every employee at every stage of their career. In other words, to invest continuously in our employees so as to increase their efficiency and commitment.
In this way, we ensure that everyone is ready to take the next career step at any time. We will favour internal promotion over external recruitment where possible.
Decisions on training are made jointly by the employee, manager and HR. We will take into account market developments in the industry and competitors, development needs in the team, new trends and the potential for horizontal or vertical growth.
The objective for each employee to have an individual development plan as of 2023, focusing primarily on strengths but also on opportunities for growth. We link this to detailed team goals and objectives per business line in order to implement our corporate strategy.
We focus on both soft and job-related skills, always linked to the business strategy. All employees have inter alia access to an online training platform called Goodhabitz. Of course, everyone can also take formal and informal courses outside this platform and there are numerous opportunities within Montea's growth trajectory.
Our managers hold regular one-on-one meetings with their employees to keep their finger on the pulse in particular about the individual employee's goals, well-being and support needs. Those meetings form the basis for the more formal annual evaluation. In 2022, we introduced a formal appraisal system for both "what" was achieved and "how" it was achieved. From performance year 2023, we will extend our group objectives and strategy to the different functional (country) teams and possibly the individual level. We want to link the objectives of the teams to the Montea targets clearly and consistently.
All our employees receive a correct and attractive pay package, based on equal criteria for each employee in a category. In addition to the monthly salary and opportunities for personal development, we also provide fringe benefits, depending on what is customary. Differences in remuneration between men and women are mainly explained by the different positions and corresponding responsibilities.

In 2022, we benchmarked some countries in terms of benefits. Germany was fully reviewed to set up all market-based group (and/ or individual) pension and risk insurance for all new entrants. France was also reviewed to check whether the existing plans for new entrants are market-compliant. We may take actions in different countries in 2023 based on these results. Benefits in Belgium are fully in line with the market. Hospitalization insurance was adjusted there in 2022 to remain competitive with our offer to the Monteaneers.
The full electrification of our company cars offers a nice benefit for our employees while clearly showing that Montea and its employees are opting for a sustainable future. Each eligible newcomer will sign up for an all-electric car and receive a charging station at home, at Montea's expense, if it can be placed.
We also implemented the 'new way of working (NWOW) policy' throughout 2022 to meet the mutual need for trust and flexibility. Employees can work a certain number of days per week outside the office, provided the position lends itself thereto, under the NWOW model. The aim is to achieve the best possible organisation at both individual and team level, taking into account the personal situation of each colleague, to ensure continuity and quality of service.
As a developing investor, we attach great importance to long-term bonding with all our stakeholders, including our employees. We consequently want to boost ownership by our employees within Montea. In addition to the existing long-term incentive plans in Belgium and the Netherlands for our employees (option and share purchase plan), a share-related plan has also been set up in France and Germany so that all employees can be part of our long-term objectives, and get integrated in our long-term strategy.
Finally, we introduced an external benefits platform so that employees in certain countries can enjoy exceptional employee discounts at national and international retailers. This is our way of offering our employees a helping hand in times of high inflation.

Innovation, sustainability and customer focus play a leading role in Montea. We believe in strong and sustainable alliances. Together with our stakeholders, we are developing an out-of-the-box long-term vision of where the sector as a whole and Montea in particular should be heading.
Innovation will pertain mainly to our services. What are others doing in the market and can this have value for us? We are mainly working on building business intelligence and an extensive network on a global scale. Sustainability is at the heart of that strategy.
We have grown strongly organically in recent years. The foregoing ambitions made us realize that there is a need for a clear structure in which responsibilities are defined with greater clarity.
Montea therefore built "Fit for growth" in 2022, based on an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary model. To arrive at a "performance-oriented, goal-oriented" organization where organic and innovative growth are a key driver, we built out corporate functions which are organized from headquarters and support the activities in the sub-countries. These functions are mainly the CEO - CFO and CHRO and their corresponding teams. The Chief Sustainability & Innovation Officer and Chief Marketing & Communications Officer will be added in the future.
Then we have the country functions. There is a Country Director, along with the team responsible for the asset side of the balance sheet for each country. A Country Director is responsible for supporting and developing a team focused on development, acquisition, property management, project management, etc.
As sustainability is key, we are currently looking for a Chief Sustainability & Innovation Officer to support the CEO, to serve as a key figure, responsible for a major part of the ESG agenda and disclosure, and take care of internal and external communication around it. The aim is to embed sustainability in everything we do and say and to ensure that our sustainability roadmap is translated into best-in-class projects in consultation with the various key stakeholders.
This new structure gives the countries a clear full-time focus on the business development side with support from the corporate services that are largely managed centrally. The Montea business model then consists of a combination of corporate services that operate in a rather structured, process-based and predictable way and the various country structures that are rather entrepreneurial and agile. The right mix of predictability and agility is essential for a listed company. Connectivity, transparency and open communication between the corporate structures and various countries will prove decisive.
We strive for conscious innovative growth - growth that is 'performance-driven and purposeful'. The Human Capital Scan shows that we are a top organization to work for, where performance and goals are clearly present, although our Monteaneers have a hard time explaining exactly what the mission, purpose and attitudes are that make us such a great organization. It was and therefore still is important to make this underground flow very visible to our people so that we can make every Monteaneer a proud ambassador internally and externally and give him or her the necessary tools to write the Montea story.
In 2022, in consultation with the entire organization, the management team launched an exercise to identify 'the Montea brand passport'. This involved identifying the origin and market in which Montea operates, alongside the purpose, promise and attitudes at the heart of our existence. The entire organization was involved in several team sessions in which Montea's strategic goals were defined in day-to-day activities. This important work and further communication forms the basis for the future group and country strategy that we will roll out as of 2023 onwards and will contribute to our Track'24 objectives.
You could already read about the result of these efforts in Chapter 2.

Annual Report 2022



Attracting new talent is one thing, but to measure the continued commitment of our employees, we launched a Human Capital scan (survey) together with a renowned external partner in order to gauge what energizes them, what causes stress and how they can become physically and mentally stronger.
All Monteaneers received an anonymous questionnaire. The participation rate was very high (95%). The provider's scores were not based on numbers, but on green, orange and red batteries.
Based on the report, we are proud to announce that Montea is one of the best scoring workplaces in terms of motivation and engagement. The results show that Montea has strong leadership, high social energy through support between colleagues, a great team atmosphere and solidarity, support from the manager and recognition from colleagues. Furthermore, the degree of independence and variety in the working environment, available resources and team efficiency also score high.
All these elements lead to a clear job satisfaction, emotional loyalty and a very low intention to leave Montea. That said, there are also some minimal areas of concern. The CHRO therefore worked out a number of action points with management in the form of projects and internal and external workshops. Each (functional) team underwent a briefing on their own team results and devised team actions such as creating quiet spaces, a digital detox, buddy work on the work/life balance, focus moments, etc.).
Our challenge for the future is to maintain this great result as our company grows. We therefore undertake to conduct this survey biannually so as to be able to keep a pulse on the development.

We always encourage our Monteaneers to get involved in socially relevant projects.
The local initiative 'Aalst for Ukraine' organized a collection of first aid goods and their transport to Ukraine.
Monteaneers signed up for this charity on their own initiative without hesitation. A huge amount of clothes, food and medical materials were collected and offered to the organizer of the initiative.
We were sponsors yet again this year of Water Heroes, a non-profit organization that provides drinking water technology. Water Heroes provides modular water technology solutions with selfdirected operation to convert river and lake water into high-quality drinking water. Through the system, Ukrainians gained access to safe drinking water.
Three water systems were sent this year: two to Kharkiv and one to Mikolaiv. Drinking water bottles from Aquaflanders will also be distributed at the local logistics centre in Lviv.
We sponsored teams for this Trail Run to benefit the Kampenhoeve, a donkey and horse centre for asinotherapy. They specifically target children and adults with mental and/or physical disabilities.
Montea Belgium took part in Music For Life, a radio campaign against child poverty. Instead of giving each other presents at the Christmas party, Montea employees collected the money for this good cause. The amount collected was doubled by Montea and donated to the organization.
On 22 September, many Monteaneers took part in Car Free Day and thus came to the office on foot or by bike, which is not only good for the environment, but also for our physical and mental well-being.
In 2021, Montea signed a partnership with The Shift, a platform of various organizations united around one common goal: to work actively towards a more sustainable economy and society. Jo De Wolf is also a director of The Shift.

(1) Including real estate intended for sale..
(2) The occupancy rate is calculated on the basis of m². When calculating this occupancy rate, neither the numerator nor the denominator takes into account the unleased m² intended for redevelopment and the land bank.
(3) Surface of leased land (yielding landbank) is included for 20% of the total surface; after all, the average rental value of a site is about 20% of the rental value of a logistic building.
(4) Value of the portfolio without deduction of the transaction costs.
(5) Accounting value according to the IAS/IFRS rules, excluding real estate intended for own use.
(6) The operating margin is obtained by dividing the operating result before the result on the property portfolio by the property result.
(7) Financial result (excluding changes in the fair value of the financial instruments): this is the financial result in accordance with the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate investment companies excluding the variation in the fair value of the financial instruments and reflects the actual funding cost of the company. (8) EPRA earnings: this is the net result (after incorporation of the operating result before the portfolio result, minus the financial results and corporation tax, excluding deferred taxes), minus the changes in fair value of investment properties and properties held for sale, minus the result on sale of investment properties and plus the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
(9) Result on the portfolio: this concerns the negative and/or positive changes in the fair value of the property portfolio, plus any capital gains or losses from the sale of real estate.
(10)Changes in the fair value of financial hedging instruments: this concerns the negative and/or positive changes in the fair value of the interest hedging instruments according to IFRS 9.
(11)Debt ratio according to the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate companies. (12) To calculate Adjusted Net Debt/EBITDA, the numerator adjusts net financial debt for ongoing projects in under construction multiplied by the debt ratio, as these projects are not yet generating operational results, but are already included in the financial debts. In addition, there is also an adjustment in the denominator for the annualised impact of external growth. (13)IIFRS NAV: Net Asset Value or intrinsic value before profit distribution for the current financial year in accordance with the IFRS balance sheet (excl. minority shareholdings). 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. (14)EPRA Net Reinstatement Value: NRV assumes that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity. The aim of the metric is to also reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on its current capital and financing structure, including Real Estate Transfer Taxes. EPRA NRV per share refers to the EPRA NRV based on the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. (15)EPRA Net Tangible Assets assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallizing certain levels of deferred tax. The NTA is the NAV adjusted to include real estate and other investments at their fair value and exclude certain line items that are not expected to take shape in a business model with investment properties over the long term. EPRA NTA per share refers to the EPRA NTA based on the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. (16)EPRA Net Disposal Value provides the reader with a scenario of the disposal of the company's assets resulting in the settlement of deferred taxes and the liquidation of debt and financial instruments. EPRA NDV per share refers to the EPRA NDV based on the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. (17)Stock market price at the end of the period.

5.1.2 Summary
The positive revaluations of the existing portfolio were mainly driven by an increase in estimated market rental values of 15.3% (€ 174 million) partly offset by an upward yield shift of 13 bps (€ - 81 million) and the adjustment of the transfer tax rate in the Netherlands from 8.0% to 10.4% as from 1 January 2023 (€ - 14 million). The transfer tax (= registration duties) is deducted when establishing the fair value. The portfolio is currently valued at an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 4.8%. The fair value of the property portfolio including developments and solar panels is up to €2,171 million, an increase of 28% compared to the end of 2021 (€1,698 million).
Montea is focusing on diversifying its type of customers and their activities and is investing in strategic locations with high added value, thereby managing to build a healthy property portfolio of buildings in line with market standards.

At the end of 2022, two years after the launch of Track'24, Montea is thus ahead of schedule to achieve the targeted investment volume of more than €800 million over the period from 2021 to 2024. Profitability, a controlled balance sheet and a strong liquidity position remain the focus in the further roll-out of Track'24 despite increased market volatility, a weakening macroeconomic outlook and higher interest rates. By bringing part of its spacious land bank of ca. 2.5 million m² into development, Montea has a substantial in-house potential that can be developed at an average initial yield of at least 6% based on current construction and rental prices. Profitable investments into making our property portfolio even more sustainable are also at the core of our investment policy. An overview of our projects in 2022 (new developments and acquisitions), is included in chapter 4.

Corporate governance declaration Risk factors Financial report
The net rental income amounted to €90.9 million in 2022, up by 21% (or €15.7 million) compared to the same period in 2021 (€75.1 million). This increase is mainly due to the acquisitions of new properties, leased land and completed projects, which generate additional rental income. With an unchanged portfolio (and therefore excluding new purchases, sales and project developments between both comparative periods 2022 and 2021), the level of rental income increased by 3.3%, mainly driven by indexation of leases (3.0%) and the reletting of vacant units in the building in Aalst (Belgium) and Le Mesnil-Amelot (France) (0.3%).
The property result amounted to €99.9 million in 2022, up €15.2 million (or 18%) compared to the same period last year (€84.7 million). The €15.7 million increase in net rental income is partly offset by a decrease in other rental-related income compared to 2021 in which a one-off payment was included1 .
Property costs, overheads and other operating income and expenses, which are part of the operating result before the result on property portfolio, were up by €1.4 million compared to 2021. This is due to the growth of the portfolio. Despite these movements, the operating property result for the portfolio still increases by 18% compared to the same period last year (from €77.3 million in 2021 to €91.0 million in 2022).
The operating margin2 is 91.1% for the full year 2022, compared to 91.2% for 2021.
The negative financial result excluding variations in the fair value of hedge instruments amounted to €-17.9 million, compared to €-11,6 million the previous year, an increase of 55% (€ 6.4 million), which is mainly due to a higher recorded debt in 2022 to finance the investments carried out in the course of 2022.
The total financial debt (including bond loans and leasing debts, including the recurring cost of land under concession) on 31 December 2022 is covered for 96,0%.
Calculated on the basis of the average financial debt, the average financing cost3 *, amounted to 1.9% for financial year 2022 compared to 1.8% for financial year 2021.
(3) This financial cost is an average over the last 5 quarters and is based on the total financial result compared to the average of the opening and closing balance of the financial debt without taking into account the valuation of the hedging instruments and interest costs related to lease obligations booked in accordance with IFRS 16.
Despite the fact that Montea does not yet have the approval of the Dutch tax administration regarding the FBI status, it conducted its accounts up to and including 2020 as if it had already obtained such status. The basis of this can be found in the 'level playing field' principle with other sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs with existing agreements regarding the FBI status.
Based on new facts (withdrawal of the fiscal ruling as of 1 January 2021 in the case of sufficiently similar Belgian REITs) Montea has, for the sake of caution, taken into account in the income statement the possibility that the FBI status could be refused for the period as of 1 January 2021. As such, a tax provision of €4.4 million was included in the 2022 income statement, namely the difference between the fiscally transparent FBI status and the regular taxed sphere. Supported by European law, however, Montea's efforts remain focused on being able to apply the FBI status in the Netherlands in 2021 and 2022. Just like the tax return for 2021, the 2022 tax return will therefore be submitted as FBI since Montea continues to believe that it meets all the conditions to be able to claim FBI status for the aforenamed periods.
The EPRA earnings in 2022 amounted to € 67.7 million, up €7.3 million or 12% compared to financial year 2021 (€ 60.4 million). The increase in the EPRA earnings is due mainly to the strong growth of the property portfolio, whereby operating and financial costs are closely monitored and managed as such.
The EPRA result per share is €4.10 per share for 2022, representing an increase of 9% compared to the EPRA result per share for 2021 (€3.75 per share), taking into account the 3% increase in the weighted average number of shares.
The result on the property portfolio for the 2022 financial year amounted to €78.3 million or €4.74 per share2 , down 49% compared to 2021 (€ 154.4 million). In 2021, the positive result of €154.4 million was mainly due to a yield shift decrease of 68 bps. In 2022, positive revaluations of the existing portfolio are mainly driven by a 15.3% increase in estimated market rental values, but partly offset by an upward yield shift of 13 bps and the adjustment of the transfer tax rate in the Netherlands from 8.0% to 10.4% from 1 January 2023. The provision for deferred taxes on the Dutch portfolio equity, accrued on the basis of a principle of prudence (non-obtained FBI status, see section 'Taxes'), has a decrease of €6.8 million in 2022 compared to 2021.
The result on the property portfolio is not a cash item and has no impact on the EPRA earnings.

(2) The operating margin is obtained by dividing the operating result before the result on the property portfolio by the property result.
(1) Result on the property portfolio: this is the negative and/or positive change in the fair value of the property portfolio + any loss or gain resulting from the disposal of property, taking into account any deferred taxes. (2) Calculated as the result on the property portfolio based on the weighted average number of shares.
Management report
The positive change in the fair value of financial instruments amounted to €58.4 million or €3.53 per share at the end of 2021 compared to a change of €13.0 million at the end of 2021. The positive impact of €45.4 million arises from the change of the fair value of the concluded interest rate hedges as at the end of December 2022 as a result of rising long-term interest rates during the year 2022.
The changes in the fair value of financial instruments are not a cash item and have no impact on the EPRA earnings.
The net result consists of the EPRA earnings, the result on the property portfolio and the changes in fair value of financial instruments partly offset by a provision for deferred tax on the Dutch portfolio result that was processed based on a principle of caution (not obtaining FBI status, see section 'Taxes').
The net result for 2022 (€204.5 million) was down by €23.4 million or 10% compared to last year as a result of the drop in the booked result of the property portfolio, partly offset by the increase in changes in the fair value of financial instruments in 2022 compared to 2021.
The net result (IFRS) per share1 amounted to €12.36 compared to €14.12 per share in 2021.
As at 31/12/2022, the total assets (€2,327.7 million) consist mainly of investment property (87% of the total), solar panels (2% of the total), and developments (4% of the total). The remaining amount of the assets (7% of the total) consists of the other tangible and financial fixed assets including assets for own use and current assets containing the cash investments, trade and tax receivables.

Montea's total capital amounts to €367,352,910.39 on 31 December 2022, represented by 18,025,220 shares listed on both Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris. All issued shares are fully paid up and without nominal value. The shares are registered and dematerialised and each share entitles the holder to one vote. Montea held 82,854 treasury shares on 31 December 2022.
The Sole Director is authorised to increase the capital in on one or more instalments on the dates and in accordance with the arrangements he shall determine, in accordance with applicable legislation, with restrictions as to the nature of the capital increases and never exceeding the legal maximum amount of €367,352,910.39) three hundred and sixty-seven million three hundred and fifty-two thousand nine hundred and ten euro and thirty-nine euro cents) (see section 11.1.6).
The financing cost is the largest cost item in Montea's result. Montea accordingly manages the cost of its financing proactively. First and foremost, the Company wants to guarantee that its various financing resources are available over the longest possible period. Furthermore, the Company strives for variable rate financing that is for the most part covered by hedging instruments.
This policy is based on the fact that this provides protection against disruptive fluctuations in economic cycles.
In times of high economic activity, the financing cost may increase. This is in principle offset by higher operating income (such as higher occupancy and higher inflation). This compensation is rather limited and therefore a hedging policy has been adopted for the largest part of the debt.

The Company takes due care to enter into the necessary financing in a timely manner. The balance between cost of financing, term and diversification of financing sources is always paramount.
Montea's financial liabilities as at 31 December 2022 amounted to €932.9 million (€873.0 million long-term and €59.9 million short-term) and consisted of:
| Financial debts (EUR x 1,000) | 31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Non-current financial debts | 872,967 | 556,509 |

| Financial leasing | 110 | 104 |
| Other1 | 2,475 | 2,003 |
| Total | 932,886 | 649,449 |
The Company has total drawn credit lines of €216.7 million. Montea's confirmed bilateral credit lines total €489.5 million with 7 financial institutions as at 31 December 2022. An undrawn capacity of €272.8 million remains, which means that 44.3% of credit lines have been drawn. The weighted average term of these credit lines was 3.7 years as at 31 December 2022.
Furthermore, Montea also has a total amount of € 665 million in bond loans, which have been fully drawn. They consist mainly of € 235 million in Green Bonds that Montea concluded in 2021 (US Private Placement) and €380 million in Green unsecured notes concluded in 2022 (US Private Placement). As at 31 December 2022, the weighted average term of the current bond loans was still 9.3 years.
Moreover, there is a total amount of leasing debts of €51.8 million, divided into long and short terms, consisting mainly of the recognition of a leasing obligation for the concession land (following IFRS 16) and for the financing of the solar panels at the Aalst site.
The weighted average term of the financial debts (credit lines, bond loans and leasing obligations) was 6.9 years at 31 December 2022, i.e. an increase compared to 31 December 2021 (5.7 years), following the contracted US private placement in the course of 2022.
The average cost of debt was 1.9% over 2022 (compared to 1.8% in the same period last year). The Interest Coverage Ratio equalled 5.1x at the end of December 2022 compared to 6.7x at the end of 2021. Montea therefore more than meets the covenants in terms of interest coverage ratio it has concluded with its financial institutions.
The table below shows the year in which the credit lines and bond loans expired as at 31 December 2022. The Company always ensures that not all debts mature in the same year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has not granted any mortgage, pledge on commercial property or power of attorney to establish either a mortgage mandate or a pledge mandate on commercial property.

Montea on the stock market Corporate governance
The Company's Debt Ratio should not exceed 65% according to the RREC Royal Decree. The Company has entered into covenants with the financial institutions whereby the consolidated Debt Ratio may not exceed 60%. The terms of the Bonds stipulated a maximum consolidated Debt Ratio of 65%.
With a Debt Ratio 1 (based on an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 4.8%) of 42.1% at the end of 2022 (compared to 39.5% at the end of 2021) and a Net Debt/EBITDA (adjusted) of 8.4 at year-end 2022, Montea's consolidated balance sheet attests to strong solvency.
As already mentioned, Montea pursues a financing policy whereby it hedges a large part of its financial debt. The hedge ratio, which represents the percentage of financial debt with a fixed interest rate or with a variable interest rate that is then covered by a hedging instrument, was 96% at the end of 2022.
As at 31 December 2022, the Company had concluded a total of €612.5 million of hedging contracts of the IRS and interest rate cap type.
The weighted average maturity of interest rate hedging instruments is 7.6 years at the end of December 2022. For a description of Montea's hedging instruments, see section 9 (Note 17: Changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities) of this report.
The contractual provisions of the credit facilities stipulate that Montea remains qualified as a regulated real estate company (RREC) in Belgium, including a maximum debt ratio of 60% and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. The contractual stipulations of the bond loans also provide for a maximum debt ratio and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio.
Montea confirms that all these conditions were met throughout financial year 2022. The Interest Coverage Ratio was 5.1x as at 31 December 2022, compared to 6.7x at the end of the previous year.
(1) Calculated in accordance with the RREC Royal Decree of 13 July 2014.

Corporate governance
In the beginning of November 2022, Montea successfully issued 1,602,364 new shares within its authorized capital at € 64.00 per new share via a private placement with qualified and/or institutional investors through a so-called accelerated book building. This private placement resulted in gross proceeds of €102,551,296.
This transaction has a lowering effect on the debt ratio and supports the healthy balance sheet in times of increased market volatility, a weakening macroeconomic outlook and higher interest rates. In addition, the proceeds strengthen Montea's liquidity position and enable it to respond quickly to investment opportunities, with a focus on sustainable, multimodal and multifunctional logistics real estate located in prime strategic locations.
The new shares were issued with coupon no. 25 and following attached and are entitled to a dividend as of 1 January 2022.
Following the completion of the private placement, Montea's total issued capital amounts to €367,352,910.39 represented by 18,025,220 fully paid-up ordinary shares.
To date Montea already managed to refinance € 106 million of the contracted credit lines that matured in 2022 and 2023. Following this, the average maturity of the credit lines extended to 6.9 years.
The future investment commitments will be financed with contracted lines of credit that are still available. Taking into account a debt ratio of 42.1%, Montea has sufficient buffer to raise additional debt in the form of credit lines, bond loans and/or through a commercial paper programme.
Since the beginning of 2021, Montea has an identified1 investment volume of over €589 million of which €534 million already realized and €55 million in execution. Prior to this, an appropriate financing strategy was drawn up to meet these investment commitments and to perpetuate the company's solid capital structure.
In the course of 2022, the company strengthened its financial resources as follows:
To support its further growth, Montea once again offered its shareholders an optional dividend. A total of 55% of coupons no. 24 (representing the dividend for the 2021 financial year) were exchanged for new shares. 207,400 new shares were issued for a total issue amount of €18,915,502.20 (€4,226,812.00 in capital and €14,688,690.20 in share premium) under the authorized capital. The newly created shares were admitted to trading on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris as of 14 June 2022. Following this transaction, the Montea share capital is represented by 16,422,856 shares.
In the second quarter of 2022, Montea successfully completed a new US Private Placement by issuing €380 million in Green unsecured notes. The bonds are split into four tranches:
The bonds were placed through a US private placement with seven internationally renowned investors. This issue is the largest financing transaction in Montea's history and ensures liquidity until the end of 2023. The average remaining maturity of the debt increases to 6.9 years.
As a result of this transaction, more than 50% of the outstanding financing has now been issued under the Green Finance Framework. The proceeds will be used exclusively to (re)finance qualifying sustainable assets such as certified buildings, renewable energy, energy-efficiency programs, etc. in accordance with the criteria included in the Framework.

Montea on the stock market
In 2020, Montea decided to enter the German market after Belgium, France and the Netherlands so as to increase its international presence. To this end, Montea entered into a partnership with the German IMPEC Group GmbH. This collaboration led to the purchase of two development sites at strategic locations in Mannheim and Leverkusen.
Today Montea wishes to strengthen its presence and clout, with the recruitment of Patrick Abel, as Country Director Germany. In line with Montea's growth strategy in the other countries where Montea is active, Patrick will develop his own team around logistics property management with the aim of further growing the portfolio through in-house developments, acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
Patrick Abel has 20 years of experience in the German real estate sector. For the past 5 years, he was a member of the board of directors of Palmira Capital Partners with a clear focus on the Pan-European logistics sector. Patrick studied economics and business administration and earned a postgraduate degree in Real Estate Asset Management. He is well established in the sector and can build on a network of developers, property owners, brokers, lawyers and consultancies. In short, he is the perfect man to shape Montea's strong growth story in Germany as well.
The new Country Director Germany will perform his duties as of January from Frankfurt, where he will build up a local Montea team and help support the Track'24 growth plan.

With the arrival of Xavier Van Reeth, Montea brings on board more than 15 years of experience in the logistics real estate sector. For the past 10 years, Xavier has worked as Head of Industrial & Logistics at CBRE, which will continue to be a leading real estate partner.

Corporate governance
5.4.1 Outlook
Montea presents its result-oriented targets for 2023:
Montea aims to maintain its strong fundamentals in 2023 as well and will stick to its strategy of subjecting its portfolio to continuous arbitrage. This strategy results in exceptional estate-related performance indicators such as high occupancy rates (consistently above 99% since 2018) and long-term average remaining term of leases until first termination option (7.4 years on 31/12/2022). Logistics real estate is one of the few sectors that is able to pass on a large part of the current inflation to the customers through the automatic indexation of lease agreements. With a weighted average inflation forecast of 6.4% in 2023, Montea expects to be able to pass on almost 5% to customers on average. The effect of passing on indexation in the 2023 Like-for-Like rental income is estimated at 4.7%. Thanks to its focus on the type of customers and their activity (such as health care sector, recycling industry...) as well as on strategic locations with high added value (such as airports, water-bound locations...), Montea succeeds in developing its real estate portfolio in an optimal fashion.
(1) Locations that allow intermodal network expansion through good connectivity to road, rail, waterways and/or (air) ports.

Management report
The world is currently characterized by extraordinary macro-economic times, heightened geopolitical tensions, high market volatility and a very challenging interest rate environment. With a debt ratio of 42.1% and Net Debt/ EBITDA (adjusted) of 8.4 at year-end 2022, Montea's consolidated balance sheet attests to strong solvency. The average cost of debt in 2023 and 2024 is expected to be 2.3%, notwithstanding the higher interest rates.
Montea is aware of the challenges faced by some customers. However, the COVID-19 crisis showed that Montea has a robust, qualitative and diversified customer portfolio (at country, sector and site level), which is expected to limit the risk of defaults by customers.
In addition, demand for additional storage space remains high. Logistics is gaining in importance due to key trends such as the uncertain global supply chain, building larger strategic inventories and reshoring. Demand is also compounded by the continued growth of the e-commerce sector. Montea tries to respond to these challenges by offering innovative real estate solutions. Furthermore, we are also noticing upward pressure on market rents due to land scarcity in various markets.
In the outlook we describe the expected EPRA consolidated earnings and the consolidated balance sheet for financial year 2023 based on the figures presented in the annual report as at 31 December 2022, the information available after the balance sheet date, and the calculated forecasts based on the development of property, economic, and financial markets.
These forecasts and estimates should not be interpreted as a certainty as Montea's activities and the market in which it operates are subject to uncertainties and risks, Hence, this forward-looking information does not constitute a commitment on the part of the company and it is possible that expectations may not be achieved.
Montea applies the customary accounting methods to prepare the consolidated accounts as at 31 December 2022 in accordance with IFRS as applied by the European Union and implemented by the RREC Royal Decree.
The assumptions are rather conservative but realistic. In the preparation of the Outlook 2023, a realization of an investment volume of approximately €160 million over 2023 was taken into account to determine investment properties.
The net rental income is estimated on the basis of the current contracts, taking into account the assumption for the indexation (see below) of the leases which is applied for each contract separately taking into account the anniversary date of the lease. For the leases that have a termination option in 2023, estimates of re-letting (extension or renewal) are made on an individual basis.
The investments realised in 2022 have only a limited impact on the 2022 net rental income, but contribute for a full year to net rental income of 2023.
The net rental income also takes into account the announced investments:
investments is included in 'Other rental-related operating income and charges'.
This section includes the rental charges borne by the owner as well as the passing on of these rental charges to the tenants. For existing projects and identified investments, these charges and revenues are recognized in accordance with the lease agreement. As no rents are provided for the investments under the additional ambition, no other rental-related operating expenses and revenues were included for these investments.

Corporate governance
Furthermore, this section includes revenues from solar panels, which are based on forward curves, given the volatility in energy prices. Solar panel revenues also take into account the estimated excess profit tax. The solar panel investments included in 2023 (see section 4.2.4.1) generate revenues in Belgium and France on average two months after the expected completion date.
The property management fee that Montea charges its customers is also included in this section. Newly concluded contracts in 2023 that are linked to identified investments are taken duly into account here
These costs include mainly brokerage commissions, internal management fees and taxes and charges relating to unlet buildings. These costs were estimated on the current portfolio for 2023 (depending on the conservative renewal or reletting assumptions, see "Net Rental Income").
These costs comprise mainly:
Overheads are included in the forecasts based on effective estimates by cost category. Marketing and personnel costs are provided on the basis of best approximate estimates. Montea foresees further investments in personnel, not least in the various country teams to gain sufficient clout.
The estimated interest charges are based on the evolution of the average financial debt: • the real financial outstanding debt of €882.4 million as at 31 December 2022,
The total financial cost is then reduced by an estimated amount of capitalized interest calculated on current project developments and the ambition included for 2023. The calculated intercalary interest is thereby neutralized in the financial cost account and included in the investment cost of the project on the asset side of the balance sheet until said developments are delivered and thus start generating rental income.
This item includes the annual corporate income tax payable. Montea's taxable basis is virtually zero given the fiscal transparency the Company enjoys. Its taxable basis is limited to the so-called 'disallowed expenses' other than depreciation and loss of value on shares, and the received 'abnormal or gratuitous benefits' (RREC (Belgium), SIIC (France), FBI (Netherlands)). The corresponding dividend tax is estimated on the estimated taxable basis of the Montea SA fiscal unit (branch in France). Corporate income tax (rate = 25.8%) is based on an estimate of the taxable basis of Montea Netherlands and its subsidiaries. A corporate income tax rate of 15.825% is provided for Germany. For the other companies, direct subsidiaries of Montea that do not qualify as SIIC (France) or FBI (Netherlands), an estimate is made based on the estimated local results.
The development of rental income takes into account an indexation level in 2023 based on the International Monetary Fund's economic consensus expectations for that year. Montea limits the potential impact of inflation by including a clause in its leases under the terms of which the current rent is indexed and also by concluding hedging contracts for the majority of its financing with variable interest rates.
Interest rates are determined on the basis of the future interest rate curve (3-month Euribor forward curve), taking into account the (planned) hedging instruments.
The changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments are not a cash item and therefore have no impact on the EPRA earnings. No assumptions were therefore made regarding this item.
The same reasoning applies to changes in the fair value of the property portfolio.
The outlook may moreover be affected by market, operational, financial, regulatory and (geo) political risks.
Based on the foregoing assumptions and the current outlook for 2023, Montea expects the EPRA earnings to grow by 13% to €76.4 million or €4.20 per share in 2023.
The following assumptions were made when drawing up the projected consolidated balance sheet:
Montea aims to realise an investment volume of ca. €160 million over 2023.
The projected EPRA earnings, a distribution ratio of 80%, the offer of an optional dividend and the debt ratio at the end of 2022 were taken into account for the performance of debt-to-equity ratio. The projected investments could be financed entirely through borrowed capital, leading to a projected debt ratio of ca. 44% at the end of 2023.

7.5 Family ties between shareholders, directors and effective leaders 7.6 Information pursuant to article 34 of the Royal Decree of November 14, 2007 – Elements that may have an impact in case of a public takeover bid This corporate governance statement describes the most important rules that Montea has adopted in application of the legislation and recommendations on corporate governance and the way it applied these during the financial year 2022. The applicable legislation includes not only the Code of Companies and Associations, but also the RREC Act and the RREC Royal Decree.
Montea applies the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2020 as reference code since January 1, 2020 (hereinafter Code 2020). In case Montea deviates from the Code 2020, this is explained in the below corporate governance statement in accordance with article 3:6, §2 of the Code of Companies and Associations, thereby taking into account the size of the company and the nature of its activities.
This statement of corporate governance is part of the annual report in accordance with article 3:6, §2 of the Code of Companies and Associations.
Montea is incorporated as a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap/société anonyme) and only has one statutory appointed director, Montea Management NV, which in turn is incorporated as a public limited liability company having a monistic board structure.
In 2022, the Company and its Sole Director complied with the recommendations of the Code 2020 and the legal provisions on corporate governance by applying these mutatis mutandis to the organisation of the board of directors of the Sole Director. As governing body of the Company's Sole Director, it is in fact the board of directors of the Sole Director that decides, as a board, on Montea's values and strategy, its willingness to take risks and its main policies.
The structure of Montea and its Sole Director is thus transparent with regard to corporate governance. In the Corporate Governance Charter as last amended on October 28, 2021 (see https:// montea.com/investor-relations/eng/corporate-documents) and in this corporate governance statement, the term "board of directors" thus refers to the board of directors of the Sole Director.
The Company complies with the provisions of the Code 2020, with the exception of the following provisions:

Corporate governance declaration Risk factors Financial report
The board of directors is responsible for assessing the risks that are characteristic of the Company and the effectiveness of the internal audit.
In turn, the Company's executive management is responsible for putting in place a system for monitoring risk management and the effectiveness of internal audit.
Montea organises the way the Company's internal audit and risks are managed by:
As part of this process, special attention is also paid to the reliability of the reporting and financial communication process.
The main characteristics of the audit environment consist of:
(1) For the description of the sufficiently material and specific risks, see section 8 "Risk factors".
The person in charge with the Company's risk management draws up a list of all risks that are yearly evaluated by the audit committee. The risks that are sufficiently specific and material to the Company are discussed in the chapter "Risk factors" of this annual report.
The Company's specific audit processes can be subdivided into the following categories:
Annual Report 2022
The general communication within the Company is adapted to its size. This is based mainly on general personnel communication, internal work meetings and general e-mail traffic.
The preparation and communication of financial information is organised on a quarterly, halfyearly and annual basis. Retrospective planning is carried out annually. The internal accounting team (local employees in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, assistance from external auditor in Germany) provides the accounting figures. These figures are consolidated and verified by the controlling team that reports to the CFO.
The quality of the internal audit is verified during the financial year by:
The ultimate responsibility for the internal audit lies with the effective leader Jo De Wolf. .
In accordance with the Code of Companies and Associations and its articles of association, Montea is managed by Montea Management NV, the Sole Director. Montea Management NV is appointed as statutory sole director of Montea for a period until September 30, 2026.
The Sole Director is in turn represented by its permanent representative, Mr Jo De Wolf.
The Sole Director is managed by a board of directors that is composed in such a way that Montea can be managed in accordance with the RREC Act and the RREC Royal Decree and has at least three independent directors within the meaning of article 7:87 of the Code of Companies and Associations juncto recommendation 3.5 of the Code 2020.
The structure of Montea and its Sole Director is transparent. This means that all rules of the RREC Act and RREC Royal Decree apply to the Sole Director and its directors. To that end Montea has extended the corporate governance principles to the directors of the Sole Director.
The corporate governance structure of Montea can be summarised schematically as follow:
• the Sole Director, represented by its permanent representative, Mr Jo De Wolf; • the board of directors of the Sole Director; • the executive management
The persons who form part of the company's management, as well as the Sole Director, hold office at the registered office of Montea (solely for matters relating to Montea).
The directors are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders of the Sole Director by a simple majority from a list of candidates presented by the board of directors on the advice of the renumeration and nomination committee. With the exception of one share held by Jo De Wolf, the general meeting of shareholders of the Sole Director is composed of the five children of the late Mr. Pierre De Pauw, who each hold 20% of the shares.
The members of the board of directors of the Sole Director are, in accordance with article 14, §1 of the RREC Act, natural persons only. The directors are in principle appointed for a (renewable) period of maximum four years, as to ensure sufficient rotation.
Nominations for (renewal of) appointments, or the non-renewal or the resignation of directors will be submitted in advance to the FSMA for approval and/or communication purposes pursuant to article 14, §4 (4) of the RREC Act.
The appointment process is led by the chairman of the board of directors. Nominee directors or candidates for reappointment as director are nominated by the board of directors to the shareholders of the Sole Director on recommendation of the remuneration and nomination committee.
Prior to any new (re)appointment, an evaluation is made of the skills, knowledge and experience already present in the board of directors. This ensures the necessary diversity and complementarity of the diverse backgrounds and skills of the directors.
The members of the board of directors are evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
Non-executive directors may not hold more than five (5) directorships in listed companies simultaneously. Any changes to their other commitments outside Montea are to be reported to the chairman of the board of directors in a timely manner.
In the selection and evaluation of directors, particular emphasis is placed on knowledge and experience of ESG-related matters. This is also clearly reflected within the current composition of the board of directors: all non-executive independent directors have extensive experience and significant knowledge of ESG-related matters thanks to their many years of experience (at C-level) at Belgian and international (listed) companies with a solid track record on ESG (for more details see section "curricula" below).
In accordance with article 13 of the RREC Act, at least three directors must be independent within the meaning of article 7:87 of the Code of Companies and Associations juncto recommendation 3.5 Code 2020. At present, four directors meet these independence criteria: Philippe Mathieu, Koen Van Gerven, Barbara De Saedeleer and Lieve Creten.
The board of directors consists of seven members and is composed as follows as at December 31, 2022 1 :
| Name | Title | Commencement of the first term of mandate |
End of term of mandate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dirk De Pauw | Executive director and, as of 1/10/2014 also chairman of the board of directors |
01/10/2006 | 20/05/2025 |

Montea on
Corporate governance
In order to optimize the functioning of the board of directors, the board of directors has set up the following advisory committees to assist and advise the board of directors in their specific areas;
After each meeting, the board of directors receives from each committee a report on the findings and recommendations. Interim information is provided to the directors on an ad hoc basis and any director may at any time request any information through the chairman of the board of directors.
Individual directors and the members of the committees may at all times, via the chairman of the board of directors, request the board of directors to call upon external experts (legal advisors, tax advisors, etc.) at the Company's expense.
In accordance with article 4 of Montea's Corporate Governance Charter, the board of directors and its committees are supported by a secretary. In 2021 Jörg Heirman was appointed secretary.
The chairman of the board of directors is elected by the board of directors among its members. The chairman is appointed on the basis of his knowledge, skills, experience, and ability to mediate.
The function of chairman cannot be combined with that of CEO.
The chairman has the particular task to:
The professional development of the directors is guaranteed by on the one hand, the personal development of each director in his or her own field, and on the other hand by the organisation of various in-house trainings and seminars.
In 2022, Montea organised informal training sessions for the directors, given by internal and external professionals on, among other things, the evolution of the logistics property market, important macro-economic evolutions and the global evolutions in short- and long-term interests.

The contribution of each director is evaluated individually each year by the remuneration and nomination committee, so that, if necessary, the composition of the board of directors can be adjusted. In case of a reappointment, an evaluation of the director's contribution takes place.
The board of directors ensures that the succession of the directors can be secured. It ensures that all appointments and reappointments, both of executive and non-executive directors, allow for a balance of skills and experience within the board of directors.
The board of directors has set up three specialized committees to assist and advise the board in their specific areas: the audit committee, the remuneration and nomination committee and the investment committees.
The audit committee was set up in accordance with article 7:99 of the Code of Companies and Associations and assists the board of directors in fulfilling its supervisory role regarding the internal and external audit in the broadest sense.
In 2022, the audit committee was composed of the following non-executive and independent directors:

The most important criteria for evaluating the audit committee and its members are:

If someone has questions regarding the contribution of a colleague/member, he/she can discuss this with the chairman of the board of directors. The chairman of the audit committee can then, at his discretion, take the necessary steps.

The chairman can then, at his discretion, take the necessary steps.
Three investment committees have been set up in Montea, which are responsible for preparing investment and disinvestment files for the board of directors. The investment files for the Netherlands and France are handled respectively in the investment committee the Netherlands and the investment committee France. The investment files for the other countries where Montea is active (Belgium and Germany) are handled in the Internal investment committee.
The investment committees consist of the members of the executive management, complemented by one or more non-executive directors as well as one or more external persons as appropriate.
• LVW Int. BV, represented by Dirk Lannoo, strategic advisor (as from September 2022);
• SAS Casamagna, represented by Laurent Horbette; • LVW Int. BV, represented by Dirk Lannoo, strategic advisor (as from September 2022).
• Rien MTMA, represented by Rien van den Heuvel;
The investment committees are responsible for the preparation of the investment and divestment files for the board of directors. The investment committees also follow up the negotiations with the various counterparties of Montea. These negotiations are mainly related to the acquisition and the divestment of real estate assets, the conclusion of major lease agreements and/or acquisitions of property companies.
The creation and advice of the investment committees in no way affect the decision-making powers of the board of directors which remains solely responsible for deciding on (dis)investments.

The executive management is charged in particular with the management of the property, advice on and monitoring the financing policy, the preparation of all legally required reporting and providing all required information to the public or competent authorities.
The executive management works closely together and in constant consultation. When the executive management does not reach an agreement, the decision is left to the board of directors.
The executive management meets weekly. This also closely involves the country directors and other executives (Chief Development, Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief Strategy & Innovation).

Corporate governance
In formulating its advice to the board of directors with respect to the directors to be appointed, the remuneration and nomination committee takes into account the envisaged diversity within the board of directors. Such diversity is not only gender related but also relates to other criteria such as competencies, experience and knowledge. A diversification of the board of directors contributes to a balanced decision-making process by analysing possible problems from different perspective.
The Montea board of directors currently has two female members. Moreover, the current members of the board of directors have a diverse background such as the real estate sector, the logistics sector, the pharmaceutical sector, the postal sector, the banking sector and the telecom sector.
The board of directors also takes particular account of these principles of diversity in the composition of the executive management.
Compliance is an independent function within Montea. It focuses on investigating and encouraging compliance by Montea of the rules relating to its business.
Supervision of the rules relating to compliance and integrity are embedded in the position of the compliance officer. The independent compliance function resides with Jimmy Gysels, also Chief Property Manager of Montea.
The compliance officer is charged with investigating and encouraging compliance by the Company of the rules relating to the integrity of its business activities. The rules cover the requirements that arise from the company's policy and its status, as well as other statutory and regulatory requirements. It therefore relates to a part of the corporate culture in which emphasis is placed on honesty and integrity, compliance with high ethical standards in conducting business, and compliance with the applicable regulations. Hence the compliance officer is also charged with supervising compliance with the rules on market abuse, such as those imposed by the Act of August 2, 2002 relating to supervision of the finance sector and financial services, Regulation (EU) 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 on market abuse. The compliance officer is also charged with supervising compliance with the rules regarding conflicts of interest, as set out in the articles of association and Montea's Corporate Governance Charter and the applicable legislation and regulation.
The compliance officer reports to the effective leader and CEO, Jo De Wolf.
Risk is a constantly present element in the business world. Montea identifies the existing risks in all of its processes and builds in the necessary internal audits to restrict exposure to these risks.
The awareness of risks in its internal and external environment is demonstrated on various levels by the Company to its staff by setting a good example by the management.
It is the task of the board of directors to monitor identification of the risks and the way those risks are audited. The board of directors pays attention to the various risk factors to which the Company is exposed. The constant developments on the property and financial markets require the constant tracking of risks associated with monitoring the Company's results and financial condition.
The audit committee, which assists the board of directors in carrying out its supervisory role, submits the necessary recommendations to the board of directors regarding risk management and the audit of financial risks. Together with the management and the statutory auditor, the audit committee monitors the principal risks and the measures needed to audit these risks.
At Montea, Jan Van Doorslaer (Finance & Risk Manager) is in charge of the risk management function with effect as from April 1, 2020. His duties include responsibility for drawing up, developing, monitoring, updating and implementing the risk management policy and the risk management functions. He reports to the effective leader and CEO, Jo De Wolf
Internal audit is an independent assessment that focuses on examining and assessing the proper operation, effectiveness and efficiency of internal auditing. Internal audit assists the members of the organisation in the effective execution of their responsibilities and provides them in this regard with analyses, evaluations, recommendations, advice and information regarding the activities examined.
The scope of internal audit covers, in general, the examination and evaluation of the suitability and effectiveness of internal auditing, as well as the extent to which the allocated responsibilities are complied with.
The person charged with internal auditing examines the company's compliance with the policy lines, risk management (both measurable and non-measurable risks), reliability (including integrity, correctness and completeness) and the timeliness of the financial and management information, as well as external reporting, the continuity and reliability of the IT-systems and the operation of the various services within the company.
The person charged with internal auditing examines and assesses all aspects of Montea's overall business. In doing so, he or she uses various types of audit, such as:

Montea on the stock market Corporate governance
As of January 1, 2021, the internal audit function at Montea is externally delegated to Trifinance, represented by Alexander Van Caeneghem (this appointment runs until December 31, 2023). The latter reports to the executive management, who in turn reports to the full board of directors, where appropriate via the audit committee. The person responsible for internal audit can also inform the chairman of the board of directors or Montea's statutory auditor directly. He has access to all the company's documents, files and information data, including the management information and the minutes of the advisory and decision-making bodies, to the extent necessary for the performance of his duties.
The ultimate responsibility for the internal audit lies with the effective leader Jo De Wolf, who has the professional reliability and appropriate expertise required to perform this task.
Euroclear Belgium SA/NV is responsible for the financial service of the company.
The execution of this financial service entailed a total cost of € 27,527.53 (exclusive of VAT) for 2022. This fee includes both a fixed fee per year and a variable fee per distributed dividend for the non-nominative shares.

7.6 Information pursuant to article 34 of the Royal Decree of November 14, 2007 – Elements that may have an impact in case of a public takeover bid
Pursuant to Article 34 of the Royal Decree of November 14, 2007, Montea lists and, where appropriate, explains the following elements, to the extent that said elements are of such nature as to have an effect in the event of a public takeover bid.
The capital, € 367,352,910.39 is represented by 18,025,220 shares without nominal value, each representing a one/eighteen million twenty-five thousand two hundred and twentieth (1/18.025.220) part of the capital. There are no preference shares. Each of these shares confers one voting right (with the exception of the Company's own shares of which the voting right is suspended) at the general meeting of shareholders and these shares therefore represent the denominator for the purposes of notification in the event that the thresholds in the articles of association or legal thresholds are reached, exceeded or fallen below (transparency regulations). The voting right is not restricted either by law or by the articles of association.
The transfer of Montea shares is not subject to any legal or statutory restrictions.
Montea has no holders of securities to which special control rights are attached, other than certain veto rights in favour of its Sole Director (see article 24 of the articles of association).
To the best of Montea's knowledge, there are no shareholders' agreements which might give rise to restrictions on the transfer of securities and/or on voting rights.
Montea does not have such a share plan for employees.
Montea is managed by the Sole Director, Montea Management NV. Montea Management NV was appointed in the articles of association as sole director for a period ending on September 30, 2026. The main effect of Montea having a sole director is that, under the articles of association, the Sole Director has extensive powers and the right to veto certain major decisions and amendments to the articles of association 1 .
Pursuant to article 2:51 of the Code of Companies and Associations, Montea Management NV is permanently represented for the performance of the mandate of statutory sole director by Mr Jo

De Wolf. The Sole Director may resign at any time to the extent possible in the context of the commitments he has entered into towards Montea and to the extent that this resignation does not cause Montea any difficulties.
The mandate of Sole Director can only be revoked by a court order after a claim by the general meeting of shareholders of Montea on the basis of reasonable grounds has been established.
When the general meeting must decide on this issue, the Sole Director shall not vote. The Sole Director continues to exercise his duties until his resignation, following a court decision, which has the force of res judicata.

The members of the governing body of the Sole Director must be natural persons and need to possess the professional reliability and the required experience as prescribed by the RREC Act. In the event of loss, on account of all members of the governing body or the body of daily management of the Sole Director, of the required professional reliability or required experience, as required by the RREC Act, the Sole Director or the statutory auditor must convene a general meeting of Montea to deliberate on the possible loss of these requirements and the measures to be taken. If one or more members of the bodies entrusted with the management or the executive management of the Sole Director no longer meet the above requirements, the Sole Director must replace them within the month. When this period has expired, a general meeting of shareholders of Montea must be convened, as described above, without prejudice to the measures that can be taken by the FSMA in connection with the exercise of its powers.
The mission of the Sole Director consists, in particular, of taking all actions that are useful or necessary for achieving the object of Montea, with the exception of those that are reserved by law or under the articles of association for the general meeting of shareholders of Montea
With respect to the amendments to the articles of association of Montea reference is made to the rules imposed by the RREC Act and the RREC Royal Decree according to which, inter alia, any draft amendment to the articles of association must be submitted in advance to the FSMA for approval. In addition, article 24 of Montea's articles of association and the Code of Companies and Associations must be complied with.
The Sole Director was authorised by the extraordinary general meeting of February 10, 2023 to increase the capital in one or more instalments. For more details on this authorisation reference is made to section 11.1.6.2 of this annual report and article 6.3 of the articles of association of Montea.
The Sole Director is authorized for a period of five years, starting from the publication in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of November 9, 2020, to acquire or pledge the Company's own shares (even outside the stock exchange) on behalf of the Company with a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued shares. This at a unit price that may not be lower than 75% and not higher than 125% of the average of the closing price of the Montea share on the regulated market Euronext Brussels during the last 20 trading days prior to the date of transaction (acquisition and pledge).
The authorizations referred to above do not affect the possibilities of the board of directors to acquire, take as security or alienate shares in the Company, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, if no authorization is required by the articles of association or the authorization of the general meeting of shareholders, or if such authorization is no longer required.
On December 31, 2022 the Company owned 82,854 own shares. Within the limits of statutory authorisation to acquire own shares Montea successfully implemented three share buy-back programmes of respectively 70,000, 25,000 and 50,000 shares in the course of 2022 1 .
On the date of this annual report Montea holds 76,874 of its own shares 0.43% of a total of 18,025,220 shares.
There are no major agreements to which Montea is party that would take effect, be amended or expire if control over Montea changes as a result of a public takeover bid, with the exception of the following agreements:
The loans entered into by the Company that contain provisions subject to a change of control over the Company were approved and disclosed by the general meeting of shareholders pursuant to article 7:151 of the Code of Companies and Associations, with the exception of the loan entered into by the Company with ABN AMRO on November 30, 2022 and the issue of bonds through a US Private Placement in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement of June 15, 2022. These will be presented for approval at the general meeting of shareholders of May 16, 2023.

In 2022, Montea set up a share purchase plan for the benefit of certain employees and members of the Company's management. The beneficiaries under the share purchase plan have the option (but not the obligation) to purchase a certain number of shares at a market price minus a discount that is justified by, among other things, a lock-up of 3.5 years.
Under this purchase plan, on April 14, 2022 69,258 shares were purchased by Jo De Wolf (CEO) and 1,000 shares by Els Vervaecke (permanent representative of Elijarah BV, CFO). These shares were purchased at a unit price of € 90.24 calculated as 83.33% of the average closing price of the Montea share on Euronext Brussels during the twenty trading days prior to the date of the offer (March 11, 2022).

(1) During the year no options were exercised and no options expired.
(2) The exercise periods are limited to the period from 1 to 15 March, 1 to 15 June, 1 to 15 September and 1 to 15 December
No severance payments were granted or paid out in financial year 2022 as no contracts with members of the executive committee were terminated.
No possible claw-back rights were applied in 2022.
In 2022, the application of the remuneration policy for directors and the executive management was in line with (the adjustments to) the remuneration policy as approved by the general meetings on May 18, 2021 and May 17, 2022. There was no deviation.
The table below provides an overview of the annual change in total remuneration, Montea's developments and performance, the average remuneration of the employees and the ratio between the highest remuneration of the management members and the lowest remuneration of the employees on the basis of full-time equivalent.
The company interprets article 3:6, §3 (5) of the Code of Companies and Associations in such a way that the requirement to include the five-year development of the remuneration in relation to the Company's performance and the average remuneration of the employees applies only as of 2020 and consequently does not require that figures from before 2020 be included in the comparison. It will therefore show the evolution in the remuneration report as of 2020, but not retroactively.
2022 vs 2021 2021 vs 2020 2020 vs 2019
(1) The increase in fixed remuneration is partly explained by more physical board meetings and an increase in the fixed remuneration of the chairman of the board and the CEO in line with the market. The increase in variable remuneration lies in the achievement of overachievement on certain KPIs.
(2) The average remuneration shown is that of all employees as defined by Belgian law, with the exception of persons who are also part of the executive management.
(4) The ratio was calculated based on total cost to the company. The variable remuneration is included in the year that includes the performance year (this is only equal to the short-term variable cash remuneration as described above).
8.1 Risk factors relating to Montea's financial situation 8.2 Legal and regulatory risks 8.3 Risks relating to the corporate structure of Montea 8.4 Risks relating to Montea's property portfolio 8.5 Market risks
Only the risk factors identified by the Company as specific and material are described below. The non-specific risks, in particular the risks which do not only concern a company such as Montea, are not included in this overview. Furthermore, Montea considers, in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation, the significance of the risk based on the probability that it will occur and the expected scope of its negative effect. In accordance with point 32 of the ESMA Guidelines and article 16 of the Prospectus Regulation, for each category, the most material risks are mentioned first.
Short and/or long-term interest rates on the (international) financial markets may fluctuate significantly.
With the exception of the financial agreements concerning other financial debts 1 , € 640 million of bond loans and € 67 million of bilateral credit lines, Montea concludes all its financial debts at a variable interest rate (bilateral credit lines at EURIBOR (1,3 or 6) months + margin). In principle, an increase in the interest rate makes financing with borrowed capital more expensive for the Company. The total financial debt subject to variable interest rates on December 31, 2022 amounted to € 175 million.
In order to cover the risk of rising interest rates, Montea pursues a hedging policy that is aimed to cover 80% to 100% of the interest rates on its existing financial debts, including expected debts. On December 31, 2022 , 96% of the amounts drawn under the credit lines and bond loans are covered by hedging instruments (swaps and caps) or credit lines/bond loans with fixed interest rates. An increase in short-term interest rates of 100 basis points, calculated as at December 31, 2022, would cause an increase of the total financial cost of € 0.3 million.
For a further explanation on the fair value of financial liabilities, see section 9.2 (Note 39: Fair value hierarchy - Financial liabilities). Further information regarding net interest expenses can be found in section 9.2 (Note 15: Net interest expenses) and for explanations regarding interest expenses, reference is made to section 5.4.4 (subtitle: interest expenses). For a further explanation regarding our general financing policy and financing structure, see sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.3.
(1) Montea has a financial leasing debt relating to a current financial agreement of € 705,403 (< 0.1% of the total financial debt).
In order to finance its activities and investments, Montea depends to a large extent on its ability to raise financial resources. That ability can be disrupted by various (external) factors, e.g. disruptions in the international financial debt and equity capital markets, a reduction in the credit-granting capacity of banks, a deterioration of Montea's creditworthiness, a negative perception by investors with regard to real estate companies, etc. Each of these events could lead to Montea experiencing difficulties in gaining access to financing under its existing or new credit facilities, or on the capital markets. This could potentially lead to, amongst others, in particular not being able to finance acquisitions or projects, a lack of sufficient financial resources to pay interest and operational costs and to repay the outstanding capital of loans and/or bonds, etc. on the due date.
The liquidity risk is limited inter alia by the diversification of the financing sources: 24.6 % of the total financial debt consists of credit lines taken, 75.3 % of bond loans and 0.1 % of other financial debts (leasing). Moreover, Montea always foresees a sufficiently large liquidity buffer to meet its short-term obligations. At year-end, this buffer amounts to € 340 million 1 .
For more details about Montea's financing policy, see section 5.2.1.
For certain sites, Montea has a building right (opstalrecht/superficie) or a concession right on public domain. In particular, reference is made to (i) the building right agreements Montea or its subsidiaries concluded with Brussels Airport Company (BAC) for sites located in the airport zone, and (ii) the concession agreements Montea or its subsidiaries concluded with North Sea Port Flanders (formerly 'Gent Zeehaven') or with De Vlaamse Waterweg 2 .
These building and concession rights are limited in time. These rights may also, for reasons of public interest, be terminated by the lessor / grantor before their foreseen expiry date.
The associated risk for Montea is twofold. On the one hand, Montea risks losing prematurely its building or concession right on the site, and therefore also its investment / its building(s) on the site. On the other hand, Montea risks being exposed to claims for damages from the user(s) of that (those) building(s) because together with the building lease or concession right on the site, the user agreement also necessarily ends prematurely.
(1) Montea's liquidity position was mainly strengthened in 2022 by issuing € 380 million of green unsecured notes via US Private Placement
(2) Or with one of its legal predecessors Waterwegen en Zeekanaal or De Scheepvaart. For more information on the off-balance sheet obligations in this regard, see section 9.2 (Note 43: Off-balance sheet obligations).
Overall, € 367,683,984 (or 18.2% of the total value) of Montea's property portfolio is subject to this risk as at December 31, 2022. The consolidated rental income linked to these sites was € 18,863,038 (or 18.7 % of the total rental income) in 2022. If the building and concession rights for this part of the property portfolio were to be terminated early, this rental income would lapse going forward.
This double risk is however almost always mitigated by (a) provisions in the user agreement pursuant to which, in case of such termination, the user cannot claim damages from Montea and/or (b) the fact that, in case of such termination, the lessor / grantor under the building right agreement / concession agreement is obliged to compensate the full damage of Montea (including damage claims from the user).
To date, this risk has not materialised.
Certain Montea sites located on public property or in airport zone are subject to specific (safety) regulations. If these regulations were to change/strengthen, this could have an impact on the rentability of the properties concerned or in some cases activate certain contractual termination options for the users. Overall, € 175,458,376 (or 8.7% of the value) of Montea's property portfolio is subject to this risk on December 31, 2022. Collectively, these assets generate € 8,769,111 of rental income.
To date, this risk (changed legislation concerning the night flight regime & corresponding reduction of the user fee or premature termination) under this use agreement has not materialised.
As a regulated real estate company (RREC) Montea benefits from a favorable tax regime. The results (rental income and capital gains on sales minus operating costs and financial charges) are exempt from corporate tax at the level of the RREC (but not at the level of the perimeter companies). Dividends paid out by a RREC are subject to a withholding tax rate of, in principle, 30%. However, this favorable tax regime is also subject to obligations and restrictions to which Montea must adhere. For instance, as a RREC, Montea may only invest a maximum of 20% of its consolidated assets in "other real estate" as defined in Article 2, 5° vi to xi of the RREC Act. This limit has not been exceeded by Montea as at December 31, 2022.
In case of loss of recognition of the RREC status, which presupposes a serious and persistent failure by Montea to comply with the provisions of the RREC ACT or the RREC Royal Decree, Montea would lose the benefit of this favorable tax regime.
In addition, the loss of recognition as a public RREC is generally considered under credit agreements to trigger the early repayment of bank credits (Montea has € 217 million of drawn credit facilities on December 31, 2022), which could reduce Montea's liquidity. Finally, Montea is exposed to the risk of future changes to the RREC regime.
In order to implement its real estate investments in the Netherlands, Montea filed an application in September 2013 to benefit from the fiscal regime of the 'Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling' (hereinafter "FBI") (as referred to in Article 28 of the Corporate Tax Act of 1969) in respect of Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries. To date, the Company's Dutch subsidiary, Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries, have not yet received a final decision from the Dutch tax administration approving the FBI status.
In July 2022, the research institute 'Stichting Economisch Onderzoek' (SEO)] completed an evaluation on the effectiveness and efficiency of the FBI regime and presented this to the Dutch Ministry of Finance. The evaluation report suggests solutions for several bottlenecks of the (real estate) FBI regime. In the offer letter to the people's representatives, the Secretary of State for Finance indicated that he would evaluate these solution directions and present his policy intentions after the summer.
In mid-September 2022, the Secretary of State for Finance gave follow-up to this in the announcement of the Dutch budget for 2023 which indicated that the cabinet would introduce a so-called real estate measure in the corporate income tax, as a result of which FBIs would no longer be able to invest directly in real estate from 2024. In early December 2022, the Finance Cabinet responded to the previously favourable evaluation report by the independent Dutch research institute SEO and shared the decision to postpone the entry into force of this abolition by one year to January 1, 2025.
Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries would therefore no longer be able to claim FBI status as of 2025. Real estate FBIs are expected to restructure before 2025. The cabinet response also indicated that flanking measures will be taken in 2024 to facilitate the restructuring of real estate FBIs.
The ongoing dialogue that Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries maintain with the Dutch tax administration is not impacted by the announced 2025 real estate measure. This measure will have no retroactive effect.
The refusal of the FBI status with respect to the years 2015 to 2020 would have a negative impact of €9.4 million (or € 0.57 per share2 ) on the EPRA-result. The granting of FBI status with respect to the years 2015 to 2020 would have a positive impact of €11.7 million on Montea's liquidity position.
(1) For more information on the FBI status, reference is made to section 11.5.4. (2) Based on a weighted average number of shares of 16,538,273 for 2022.

Montea on the stock market
Corporate governance
The refusal of the FBI-status with respect to the years 2021 and 2022 would have no impact on the EPRA-result. The granting of the FBI status with respect to the years 2021 and 2022 would have a positive impact of €8.4 million (or €0.50 per share) on the EPRA result as well as a positive impact of €40.7 million (or €2.46 per share) on the portfolio result via reversal of the anticipated deferred tax on the property.
Supported by European law, however, Montea's efforts remain focused on being able to qualify for FBI status in the Netherlands from 2021 as well. The tax return will therefore be submitted as FBI (at least until 2024) since Montea continues to believe that it fulfils all the conditions to be able to claim FBI status.
For further explanation on the FBI status, please refer to section 11.5.4.
For its real estate investments in France, Montea has opted for the tax system of the listed real estate investment trusts ("Sociétés d'Investissements Immobiliers Cotées", hereinafter "SIIC"), in accordance with article 208-C of the Code Général des Impôts français ("CGI"). The main advantage of this scheme consists of being exempted from French corporate tax, subject to meeting a distribution obligation for certain income derived from real estate (rents, realised capital gains on property, real estate income from subsidiaries), largely modelled on the RREC scheme for Belgian corporate tax.
A number of special conditions are attached to the system. For example, the company must be listed on a French or foreign regulated market and the object of the company must be geared primarily to the acquisition or construction of immovable property with a view to leasing, or the acquisition of a direct or indirect equity interest in companies with a similar object.
If Montea were to lose its SIIC status, e.g. because it no longer complies with one or more conditions under French law, it will be required to make a number of subsequent payments for French corporate income tax purposes at a rate of 25%. Montea estimates the annual financial impact in such case at € 0.02 per share 2 at maximum based on the earnings in 2022, without taking into account growth assumptions of the current portfolio.
Notwithstanding the fact that a SIIC is exempt from French corporation tax, France withholds a withholding tax on the undistributed profits of a French branch (the so-called "branch remittance tax"). Montea invokes the double taxation treaty between Belgium and France so that this French withholding tax results in a 5% tax leakage on the after-tax profits of the French branch. In 2021, Belgium and France concluded a new double taxation treaty that has not yet entered into force. Montea expects that the French withholding tax limitation will no longer apply once the new double tax treaty enters into force (from 2024 at the earliest). Assuming that the French branch qualifies as SIIC, the annual financial impact is an additional withholding tax of 20%, being the difference between the so-called branch remittance tax of 25% and the currently applied reduced withholding tax of 5%.
In its capacity as controlling shareholder of the Sole Director 1 , the De Pauw Family has an important influence, as it determines who will become director of the Sole Director, taking into account the legal rules on corporate governance and Montea's Corporate Governance Charter. Moreover, the general meeting of shareholders of Montea can deliberate and decide only when the Sole Director is present. The Sole Director must also give his consent to the most important decisions of the general meeting of Montea (including any amendments to the articles of association). As a result of this statutory veto right, and given that the Sole Director is practically irremovable, the decision-making power of the general meeting of shareholders may be blocked, as a result of which necessary or useful decisions for Montea cannot be taken by the general meeting. There is a risk therefore that all or part of the voting rights attached to the shares are eroded.
When Montea would amend its articles of association and would take a legal form other than a public limited liability company with a sole director or would appoint another sole director in replacement of Montea Management NV, the change of control provisions under the bonds 2 may be activated. As a result, any bondholder could, by means of a written notification to the registered office of Montea with a copy to the respective "agent", require that his or her bonds be declared immediately due and payable at their nominal value plus accrued interests (if any) up to the date of payment, without further formalities, unless such default has been remedied or a waiver from the bond holders is obtained. This may also activate the change of control clause under bilateral credits, thereby entitling the financial institutions concerned to claim all outstanding amounts. As at December 31, 2022, Montea had more than €665 million in bond loans drawn down and €216.7 million in credit lines.

Risk factors
The Montea property portfolio is expanded not only by acquiring existing buildings, but also by development projects. Such projects sometimes involve risks other than risks related the traditional acquisition of existing buildings. Following potential risks must be noted: finding the right partners to carry out the development, delay of the development or poor execution (resulting in reduced rental income, postponement, or loss of expected rental income), an increase in construction costs, organizational problems in the supply of the necessary raw materials or materials and the risk that the necessary permits are not granted or are contested. In this respect, Montea is to a large extent subject to macro-economic developments, such as the rising cost price of raw materials and building materials and disruptions in the supply chain. In 2022, the potential impact of the armed conflict in Ukraine on the timing and budget of development projects, as well as the average financing cost, was monitored in particular. The Montea operational team proactively monitors these risks, and ongoing projects are discussed on a weekly basis to monitor timing and budget. Montea also does its best to negotiate contracts that minimize these risks, e.g. increases in building costs are not passed on to Montea where possible, obtaining a building permit is a suspensive condition for the project, and the projects in which Montea invests are pre-let as much as possible.
In addition, Montea sometimes concludes an agreement for build-to-suit projects with a developer under which Montea undertakes to purchase the building in question (or the company to which the building belongs) at a price agreed in advance, provided that a number of conditions precedents are fulfilled. These conditions precedent pertain in particular to the delivery of the guarantee, the first rent payment, obtaining the necessary permits and the provisional handover of the building. If the building is delivered later than planned or if one or more of the conditions precedents are not fulfilled, Montea may decide not to take over the building (or the company to which the building belongs), or to do so only at a later date, which may have an impact on the projected results of Montea and its future property portfolio. 1
Montea is exposed to the risks associated with the departure of its tenants and the renegotiation of their lease agreements. A higher vacancy rate will imply additional costs, including, but not limited to, the charging of normally recoverable costs (property tax, management costs, etc.) and commercial costs related to reletting and/or downward revision of rents. In addition, increased vacancy will lead to a reduction in income and cash flows.
Montea's investment strategy focuses in particular on sustainable and versatile logistics real estate, consisting of strategic top locations, multimodal sites, multifunctional buildings and maximum use of space. Montea has a professional team that is dedicated to finding new tenants and managing the relationship with its customers actively. In addition, vacancies are avoided and a stable cash

flow of rental income is assured because a large part of the property portfolio is let on long-term leases, which makes it possible to spread the risk of rental vacancy.
On December 31, 2022 the remaining duration of the leases until maturity was 7.4 years (excluding solar panels). The occupancy rate as at December 31, 2022 was 99.4%, i.e. a quasi-full letting of the property portfolio.
The sustainability strategy determines how Montea will contribute to the climate objectives in order to limit the effects of climate change as much as possible. Climate change also entails changing risks. Montea builds its portfolio with these changing needs in mind.
Montea sees the most important direct risk of climate change in extreme weather conditions. Damage caused by extreme weather conditions and natural disasters is covered by various insurances. The direct financial impact (in the short and medium term) is therefore not considered to be material. A significant increase in the number of claims (at Montea or in general) could affect the insurability of the portfolio and insurance premiums in the longer term. To date, Montea is not aware of any material impact on its portfolio with respect to this risk.
Given the scope of the projects in which Montea invests, there is a risk that Montea is too dependent on the continued existence of an asset group or on a contractual relationship with one single client. The concentration of the tenant base can affect the diversification of the group and cause a drop in income and cash flows when a tenant leaves or experiences financial difficulties.
To limit and spread these risks, Montea must diversify its property portfolio, in accordance with the RREC Act geographically, per type of real estate and per category of tenant. More specifically, Montea may not carry out any transaction that would result in more than 20% of its consolidated assets being invested in properties that form a single asset group, or, of this percentage would already exceed 20% for one ore more asset groups, increase it further.
Montea has always strived for a highly diversified tenant base, spread over several sites. The aforementioned diversification threshold of 20% had not been reached on December 31, 2022.
The buildings rented by the largest tenant Amazon represent 4.8% of the total annual contracted rental income. The value of the largest property in the portfolio represents 5.1% of the total fair value of the portfolio (site in Tiel, leased to Recycling Reko Tiel and Struyk Verwo Infra).
The proceeds from solar panels represent 7.7 % of the income.
How we make space for the future
Montea on the stock market Corporate governance
The fair value of Montea's property investments is subject to change and depends on various factors, some of which are external and thus beyond Montea's control (such as falling demand or occupancy rates in the markets in which Montea operates, changes in expected investment yields or increases in transaction costs relating to the acquisition or transfer of property).
In addition, the valuation of real estate may be influenced by a number of qualitative factors, including, but not limited to, its technical condition, additional obligations regarding the sustainability of buildings, its commercial positioning, capital expenditure requirements for fitting out, establishment and layout.
Each quarter, the fair value of investment properties is determined by independent valuation experts.
A substantial fall in the fair value of its real estate could potentially entail considerable losses, which could have a negative impact on Montea's results and financial situation, namely a negative influence on the net result and the NAV, a fall in the fair value of the real estate investments resulting in an increase in debt, and the partial or total inability to pay out dividends in case of accumulated negative variations in the fair value exceed the distributable reserves.
Montea has an investment strategy that focuses on quality assets offering stable income and ensures adequate monitoring of its assets, combined with a prudent debt policy. Montea monitors its debt ratio and the evolution of the fair value of its investment properties on a regular basis. We refer to section 9.2 (Note 20: Real estate investments) for a sensitivity analysis with regard to the fair value of the investment properties.

Montea on the stock market
Corporate governance declaration Risk factors Financial report
The company's financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU, as issued by the 'International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)' and as interpreted by the 'International Financial Interpretations Committee of the IASB'. Investment properties (inclusive of projects) and the financial instruments are booked at fair value. The other headings of the consolidated financial statement have been drawn up on the basis of historical cost. Where indicated that figures are in thousands of euros, minor rounding differences may occur.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and on a going concern basis over a foreseeable time horizon.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the company.
A company has control over another company when it is exposed or entitled to variable remuneration from its involvement in that company and is in a position to influence that remuneration based on its power.
IFRS 10 requires that control can exist only if the three following conditions are cumulatively met by the parent company:
to the variable (net) income (both positive and negative) from its involvement with the "investee" (subsidiaries).
• be in a position to use its power over its subsidiaries in order to influence the net income / net expenditure, i.e. the "investor" can effectively exercise the existing rights to generate the (net) proceeds.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the company exercises control until the date on which control ceases. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are adjusted as and where necessary to ensure consistency with the principles adopted by the group.
With the exception of the subsidiaries that are merged during the financial year, the financial statements of subsidiaries pertain to the same accounting period as that of the consolidating company. Minority interests are those in subsidiaries that are neither directly nor indirectly held by the group.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized profits arising within the group, are eliminated in proportion to the group interest in the company. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized profits, but only to the extent that there is no indication of impairment.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires good management to be able to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that apply to the policies and regulations and the reporting of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical events and various factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from such estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Such reviews and accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, both in cases where the estimate affects the audited financial year as well as when it affects the future. With the exception of estimates relating to the determination of the fair value of investment properties, solar panels and derivatives, there are no significant assumptions as at 31 December 2022 concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty on the balance sheet date that carry a significant risk of a material adjustment in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities of the next financial year (reference is made to note 20).

Investment properties comprise all buildings and land that can be leased and generate rental income (in whole or in part), including buildings where a limited portion is held for own use. In application of IAS 40, investment properties are valued at fair value. Two external independent experts, Jones Lang LaSalle BV, 23 Marnixlaan, 1000 Brussels represented by Rod Scrivener and Stadim BV, 180 Mechelsesteenweg, 2018 Antwerp represented by Anton Braet, prepare a valuation of the property portfolio on a quarterly basis.
Any profit or loss, after the acquisition of a building, resulting from a change in fair value is booked in the income statement. The valuation is carried out in accordance with the capitalization method issued by the International Valuation Standards Committee.
The fair value (as defined in IFRS 13) is the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a normal transaction between market parties at the evaluation date. The fair value should reflect current leases, current cash flows and reasonable assumptions regarding expected rental income and expenses.
The sale of an investment property is usually subject to the payment of registration fees or a value-added tax to the public authorities. The Belgian Association of Asset Managers (BEAMA) published a communication on the scope of such registration fees on 8 February 2006. An analysis of a large number of Belgian transactions led to the conclusion that the impact of acquisition costs on important Belgian investment properties exceeding a value of €2,500,000 is limited to 2.5%. This is because a range of property transfer methods are used in Belgium. This percentage will be reviewed annually as and where necessary, and adjusted per 0.5% tranche. Properties below the €2,500,000 threshold and foreign properties remain subject to the usual registration tax and their fair value therefore corresponds to the value exclusive of registration, notary and VAT costs. The registration fee for properties valued in France is generally 1.8% when the building is less than 5 years old and between 6.9% and 7.5% in all other cases, depending on the department. For the Netherlands, theoretical local registration duties deducted from the investment value average 10.4% and in Germany they depend on the exact location and market value of the building.
The investment value in Belgium corresponds to the fair value plus 2.5% acquisition costs (for investment property exceeding a value of €2,500,000). The fair value can thus be calculated by dividing the value deed-in-hand by 1.025.
Since 2018, the following valuation rule applies with regard to transaction costs (which is equal to the difference between the fair value of the real estate and the investment value of the real esate): the transaction costs are recognized via the income statement (portfolio result) upon acquisition. It is only after income recognition that they enter Reserves in the account "Reserve for the Balance of Changes in Fair Value of Property".
Realized profit/losses on sales are recognized in the income statement under the heading "Result on sale of investment properties". The realized result is determined as the difference between the sale price and the fair value of the last valuation.
Concessions paid are treated as operating leases under IFRS 16.
Real estate that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is recognized under "investment property" and valuated at fair value.
All direct development-related costs are capitalized, as well as directly attributable interest expenses are capitalized, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 23 – Borrowing costs.
All tangible fixed assets that do not meet the definition of investment property or the definition of development project are included under this section. The other tangible fixed assets are initially recognized at cost and subsequently valued in accordance with the cost model. Additional costs are activated only if the future economic benefits relating to the tangible fixed assets increase for the Company. Other tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the linear depreciation method. The following percentages apply on an annual basis:
Solar panels are valued on the basis of the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment. After the initial take-up, an asset for which the fair value can be reliably established needs to be entered in the accounts at the revalued value, i.e. the fair value at the time of revaluation, minus any depreciations accumulated later and any extraordinary reductions in value accumulated later. The fair value is determined based on the discounting method of future returns.
The service life of the solar panels is estimated at 20 years.
The valuation of the solar panels is determined on a quarterly basis.
The capital gain on start-up of a new site in terms of solar panels is recognized in a separate component of equity, as a result of the application of the discounted future revenue method, which results in a higher market value than the original cost of the solar panels. Losses are also recognized in this component unless realized or unless the fair value falls below the initial cost. In the latter cases, they are recorded in the result.
Montea assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication is present, an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount is made.
Where the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, a specific impairment loss is recognized to bring the book value of the asset to its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of fair value less cost to sell (assuming a non-forced sale) or value in use (based on the present value of estimated future cash flows). The resulting impairments are charged to the income statement.
The business value is the present value of expected future cash flows. To determine the business value, the expected future cash flows are discounted at a pre-tax interest rate that reflects both the current market interest rate and the specific risks relating to the asset.
The recoverable amount for assets that do not generate cash flows themselves is determined for the cash-flow generating unit to which those assets belong.
Previously recognized impairments are reversed through the income statement in case there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last specific impairment loss was recognized.
The financial fixed assets are recognized at fair value. The claims and guarantees for the receivables are instead booked at face value. A reduction is made in the case of a permanent write-down or devaluation.
Cash and cash equivalents include bank accounts, cash and short-term investments.
The capital comprises the net cash obtained upon incorporation, merger or capital increase, whereby the direct external costs are deducted (such as registration fees, legal, notary and publication costs, etc.).
When the company proceeds to buy back own shares, the amount paid, including directly attributable costs, is deducted from the equity (unavailable reserves). Dividends are part of retained earnings until the general meeting of shareholders decide to distribute the dividends.
Since 2018, the following valuation rule applies with regard to transaction costs (which is equal to the difference between the fair value of the property and the investment value of the property): the mutation rights and costs are recognized through the income statement upon acquisition (portfolio result). It is only after income recognition that they enter the reserves in the account "Reserve for the Balance of Changes in the Fair Value of the Property."
A provision is recognized if the company has a legal or contractual obligation as a result of a past event, whereby an outflow of cash will probably be required to meet the obligation and if it can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the discounted value of expected future cash flows at market interest rates.
Trade and other debts are measured at their nominal value on the balance sheet date. Interestbearing debts are initially recognized at cost less directly attributable costs. The difference between the book value and the refundable amount is subsequently included in the income statement over the period of the loan using the effective interest method.
The revenues include gross rental income and income from services, development and property management. They are measured at the fair value of the indemnity received or receivable. Revenues are recorded only as from the moment when it is sufficiently certain that the economic benefits will flow to the company. Costs of gratuities and benefits granted to tenants are recognized as a deduction from rental income over the term of the lease, being the period between the entry into force and the first termination option (on a straight-line basis). Indemnification for early termination of leases are included immediately in the income state.
The revenues relating to the solar panels (green power certificates and electricity generated) are recognized at the time of receipt of these revenues, in accordance with IAS 18. The principles of

IAS 20 are also applied. There are no green power certificates that were not sold at the end of the financial year. These green power certificates are paid by the government and not by the energy suppliers.
The costs are measured at the fair value of the indemnity paid or due.
Commissions relating to the rental of buildings are charged against profit in the period in which they were incurred. Commissions relating to the acquisition of buildings, registration fees and other additional costs are considered to be part of the acquisition price of the building and are consequently activated. Commissions paid when buildings are sold are deducted from the acquisition price received to determine the profit or loss made.
General expenses are costs related to the management and general operation of the RREC. These include general administrative costs, personnel costs for general management and depreciation of assets used for general management.
The financial result consists, on the one hand, of interest expenses on loans, additional financing expenses and income from investments, and, on the other hand, of positive and negative changes in the fair value of hedging instruments. Interest income and costs are recognized pro rata temporis in the income statement. Any dividend income is booked in the income statement on the day the dividend is granted.
The tax on the profit for the financial year comprises current tax expense. Tax on profit or loss is recognized in the income statement except for items recognized directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the liability method for all temporary differences between the tax base and the book value for financial reporting purposes for both assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if they are likely to be offset in the future against taxable profits.
The exit tax is the tax on capital gains and on tax-free reserves resulting from a merger, split, contribution in kind or transfer of a regulated real estate investment company with a company that is such a regulated real estate company 1 .
If the latter is incorporated for the first time in the consolidation of the group, a provision for exit tax is included together with a revaluation value equal to the difference between the value with costs for the buyer (investment value minus all sales-related costs such as registration and notary fees) of the building at the time of acquisition and book value. The exit tax is in principle charged to the contributor of a property or company, but Montea has to book it due to the fact that the tax is only assessed after a certain period of time. This tax is deducted from the value of the property or company to be transferred.
Any subsequent adjustment of this exit tax liability is taken into the income statement. The amount of the exit tax may still vary after the transfer or merger from which this variation may arise.
Montea concludes loans with financial institutions at variable interest rates. The Company uses IRS-type financial hedging instruments to hedge the risk of a rise in these variable interest rates. The variable interest rates attached to the loans are therefore, to a large extent, swapped into a fixed interest rate. Pursuant to its financial policy and the applicable regulations, Montea does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
The hedging instruments, however, do not meet the conditions of the "hedging" type referred to in IFRS 9, and as a result all movements in the fair value of the instrument are recognized in full in the income statement. The market-to-market value at balance sheet date is used to determine the fair value.
Given the clarification on the accounting treatment of the unwinding of swaps, and to achieve better alignment with EPRA guidance, it was decided to recognise, as from 2017 onwards, the unwinding of swaps through the P&L section: changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
(1) The exit tax is the tax on the difference between fair value and book value and tax-free reserves and amounts to 15% for mergers taking place from 2020 onwards. For mergers that took place in 2019, the exit tax was 12.5% +2% crisis contribution.

These rights and obligations are measured at nominal value based on the amount stipulated in the contract. If no nominal value is available or valuation is not possible, the rights and obligations are stated pro memorie.
Montea has not used these, unless stated otherwise. These standards as amended by the IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRIC are not expected to have a material impact on the presentation, the notes or the results of the company.
The nature and impact of the following new and amended standards and interpretations are explained below:
The amendments prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
Entities are required to apply the amendment to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The amendments must be applied retrospectively but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments.
The amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statement of Montea.
The amendments specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. The amendments apply a "directly related cost approach". The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.
The amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statement of Montea.
The amendments replaced the reference to an old version of the IASB's Conceptual Framework (the 1989 Framework) with a reference to the current version issued in March 2018 (the Conceptual Framework). The amendments further added an exception to the recognition principle in IFRS 3. That is, for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, if incurred separately, an acquirer would apply IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, respectively, instead of the Conceptual Framework, to identify the obligations it has assumed in a business combination. The amendment further added an explicit statement in the standard that an acquirer cannot recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.
Companies are required to apply the amendments business acquisitions on or after the beginning of annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
As Montea's current practice is in line with the changes, these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The IASB published the annual improvements cycle 2018 - 2020 to its standards and interpretations. These improvements include:
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity recognizes when estimating whether the terms of a new or amended financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These include only fees paid or received between the borrower and lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on behalf of the counterparty. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the financial year in which the entity first applies the amendment. An entity applies the amendments to financial liabilities modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the financial year in which it first applies the amendment. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statement of Montea.
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet applicable in 2022, but may be applied earlier. Unless stated otherwise, Montea has not availed itself thereof. These standards amended by the IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRIC are not expected to have a material impact on the presentation, notes or results of the company:
(1) Not yet approved by the EU as at 22 December 2022. (2) Not yet approved by the EU as at 22 December 2022.
The amendments clarify the criteria for determining whether a debt should be classified as shortterm or long-term. The amendments clarify:
Entities are required to apply the amendments for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors.
As Montea's current practice is in line with the changes, these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality assessments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose "significant" accounting policies with a requirement to disclose "material" accounting policies.
The Practice Statement includes guidance and illustrative examples that assist in applying the materiality concept in making judgements about accounting policies.
The amendments to IAS 1 will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Early application is permitted.
The amendments introduce a new definition of estimates. Estimates are defined as "monetary amounts in the financial statements about which measurement is uncertain".
The amendments clarify what changes in estimates are and how they differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. These also clarify how entities use valuation techniques and inputs to make estimates.
The amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with early adoption permitted.
The amendments limit the scope of the initial recognition exemption under IAS 12 Income Taxes so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to the same taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The amendments also clarify that when payments made to settle a liability are deductible for tax purposes, it is a matter of judgement (taking into account the applicable tax laws) whether such deductions are attributable for tax purposes to the liability component (and interest expense) recognized in the financial statements or to the related asset component (and interest expense). This assessment is important to determine whether temporary differences exist on initial recognition of the asset and liability.
The amendments apply to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with early adoption permitted. The amendments apply prospectively to transactions occurring on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.
The amendments specify how a seller-lessee should value a lease liability that arises in a Sale and Leaseback transaction so that it does not recognize an amount of gain or loss related to the retained right-of-use. The amendment does not define specific valuation requirements for lease obligations arising in a Leaseback. The initial measurement of a lease liability arising from a Leaseback may result in the determination by a seller-lessee of lease payments that are different from the general definition of lease payments in Appendix A of IFRS 16. The seller-lessee will need to determine an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable in line with IAS 8 Accounting policies, changes in estimates and errors.
Entities are required to apply the amendments for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments should be applied retrospectively in line with IAS 8 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors.
The amendment added a transitional option for a "classification overlay" to address potential accounting mismatches between financial assets and liabilities under insurance contracts in the comparative information presented upon initial application of IFRS 17. If an entity chooses to apply the 'classification overlay', it can do so only for comparative periods for which it applies IFRS 17 (i.e., from the effective date to the date of first application of IFRS 17). No changes were made to the entry requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
The amendment is effective for the financial year in which IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts is first applied. This standard does not apply to Montea.
IFRS 17 is a new standard for insurance contracts, which deals with recognition and measurement, presentation, and explanation. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 - Insurance contracts (IFRS 4), which was published in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e. life insurance, non-life insurance, direct insurance, and reinsurance), regardless of the type of entity issuing them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. Some exceptions to the scope apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. Unlike the requirements of IFRS 4, which were largely based on carrying forward previously used local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts that covers all relevant accounting aspects.
The core of IFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by
IFRS 17 applies to financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2023. Adjustment of previous financial years is mandatory. Earlier application is permitted provided IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 are applied on or before the date of first application of IFRS 17.
This standard does not apply to Montea.

If we take into account all properties that have been part of the property portfolio for a full year in the last three years (i.e. excluding the acquisition of new sites or divestments - total of 64 sites), rental income is as follows (see also table on the next page): • 2020: € 65,015 K
The 3.5% increase in rental income for Belgium compared to 2021 is mainly due to the annual indexation, partially offset by the partial redevelopment of the sites in Aalst and Vorst.
The rental income for France increased by 5.5% in 2022 compared to 2021 mainly due to the annual indexation and temporary vacancy in the Le Mesnil Amelot site in previous years.
In the Netherlands, the rental income increased by 5.1% in 2022 compared to 2021 mainly due to the annual indexation.

Montea applies IFRS 16 to financial years commencing as of 1 January 2019 which implies that leasing obligations (such as leases and concession agreements) must be expressed on the balance sheet of the lessee by including a right of use as investment property and an associated leasing obligation as long-term debt. There are no changes for the valuation of the property portfolio for Montea as a property owner and therefore lessee. Montea will continue to value its property portfolio at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. For these concession agreements, Montea, as lessor, will recognize the right of use as investment property and the corresponding leasing obligation as long-term debt in the balance sheet and consequently, as of 2019, the recurrent concession fees will be processed through the financial result instead of the net rental result.
Montea also applies IFRS 9. When Montea uses external legal advice to collect rental and/or other funds, a write-down is recognized if the collection is uncertain in nature. When the funds are received, a reversal of the impairment is recorded. The method of determining impairment has not been adjusted. The impairment made in 2021 is a result of the judicial liquidation of Office Dépot. The impairment was reversed in 2022 is because of funds received pertained to this judicial liquidation.

The drop in the net impact to €1,080 K is largely due to the additional rentals at the various locations owned by the Montea group.
The largest cost for vacant properties is the property withholding tax and insurance (whether charged or not). Property withholding taxes and taxes on leased properties amounted to €6,078 K in 2022 (6.8% of rental income, which amounted to €89,150 K on 31/12/2022).

| TOTAL | 10,105 | 10,080 | 5,074 |
The property management fee refers to the contractually agreed management fee, which in the majority of contracts is a percentage of the annual rent payable.
The income from the solar panels consists, on the one hand, of the generated electricity that is passed on to the tenants and the grid operator and, on the other hand, of the income from the green certificates. The increase is mainly explained by the increased prices for electricity, which is partly offset by related decreases in allowances (subsidies and certificates).
The revenues are recognized at the time they are received, in accordance with IFRS 15. There are no green certificates that were not sold at the end of the financial year. These green certificates are paid by the government and not by the energy suppliers.

Due to limited vacancy in the portfolio, brokerage commissions decreased compared to 2021 which included commissions after signing the new lease of the previously vacant units in Le Mesnil Amelot. In addition, costs included for legal fees and costs also decreased, as 2021 included higher costs following the judicial liquidation of Office Dépot.

| TOTAL | 92,864 | 175,392 | 107,308 |
When the balance of all positive and negative changes is considered overall, their result on the property portfolio amounts to €92,864K at 31 December 2022. Positive changes in the fair value of investment properties are largely due to the decrease in investment returns for projects with long-term leases as well as rising market rental values. Negative variations in the fair value of the investment properties are largely due to write-downs booked as a result of leases approaching expiry or being terminated, the booking in profit or loss of initial transaction costs when acquiring or developing new properties (see section 9.1.7.2 Valuation rules – investment properties) and the booking out through profit or loss of remaining rent-free periods.
When Montea invests in a building (major alteration works), these investments are booked on the asset side of the balance sheet. When the real estate expert does not or does not fully value these additional works according to the cost price of these works, Montea records a negative variation in the valuation of the property.

The nominal interest charges on loans increase by €7,837K compared to 2021, mainly because of the higher net debt position due to increased investments.
The cost of hedging instruments decreased by €1,288K compared to 2021 mainly due to the decrease in financial debt for which interest rate hedging contracts of the IRS (Interest Rate Swap) type are concluded and a higher hedging ratio during 2022 (96.0% at the end of 2022) compared to 2021 (92.7% at the end of 2021). The average financing cost increased compared to last year, from 1.8% in 2021 to 1.9%1 for financial year 2022.
The impact of hedging instruments on the average finance expense is 0.2%, i.e. the average finance cost without the hedging instruments would be 1.7%.

Here is a schematic presentation of when the current IRS contracts totaling €140.0 million will expire:
In 2022, as a result of the adjustments according to IFRS 13, Montea recorded a negative change in the valuation of hedging instruments of €1,326K (known as the "Debit Value Adjustment"). Montea's net position under the hedging instruments therefore amounts to €40,894K. The negative adjustment of the nominal amount to fair value of the hedging instruments can be found in the other long-term financial debts on the liabilities side of the balance sheet and the positive adjustment of the nominal amount to fair value in the other financial fixed assets - hedging instruments on the assets side of the balance sheet.
Montea has contracted hedging instruments for a nominal amount of €612,500 K million at the end of 2022.
The undiscounted net cash flows of the existing IRS contracts are shown in the table below:

The decrease compared to 2021 is twofold: there is the increase in actual income tax of €53K, while deferred taxes decrease by €6,827K. The decrease in deferred taxes originates in the Netherlands, where 25% corporate income tax is now provided for instead of the 5% dividend withholding tax, given the developments regarding the obtaining of FBI status (see section 11.5.4), in combination with the revaluation of the portfolio and the adjustment of the transfer tax rate in the Netherlands from 8.0% to 10.4%.

The property portfolio is valued at fair value. The fair value measurement is based on unobservable inputs, hence, these investment properties belong to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as determined according to IFRS. See note 39 (Fair value hierarchy) for more details. The positive change in the valuation of investment properties can be explained mainly by rising market rental values, which is partly offset by rising returns on logistics properties in the investment market.
The valuation of a site consists of determining its value on a given date, determining the price at which the site could potentially be traded between buyers and sellers who are sufficiently informed without information asymmetries and who wish to carry out such a transaction. This value is the investment value or the price payable plus any transfer taxes (registration duties or VAT). The fair value, within the meaning of the IAS/IFRS reference scheme, can be obtained by subtracting the theoretical local registration taxes from the investment value.
The sensitivity of the fair value depending on changes in the significantly unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of properties classified in level 3 according to the IFRS fair value hierarchy is as follows:
| Non-observable inputs | Impact on fair value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Calculated in | Increase | Decrease | |
| Estimated rental value | €/m² | + | - |
| Discount rate | % | - | + |
| Required yield | - | + | |
| Remaining lease term | years | + | - |
| Occupancy rate | + | - | |
| Inflation | + | - |
In addition, the fact is that a long (short) remaining lease term often gives rise to a decrease (increase) in the discount rate.
• an increase (decrease) of 1% in rental income will result in an increase (decrease) of

The development of the other tangible assets includes mainly the expansion of the solar parks through new installations on various sites in Belgium, the Netherlands and France and the works on a new future office, which is still under development.
For the valuation of the solar panels, the net capital gains were included in a separate equity component. Cf. note 30.1.
Solar panels are valued on the basis of the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment. After the initial recognition, assets whose fair value can be measured reliably should be booked at revalued value, i.e. the fair value at the time of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losess. If these solar panels were valued at cost, this would amount to €40,350. The solar panels have been valued by an independent real estate expert since 2018.
The fair value is determined using the discounted future earnings method.

No general write-downs were recognized on the total amount of €23,698K, as an individual analysis per file shows that there is no recovery risk for receivables that are more than 90 days overdue. Despite this requirement, Montea is convinced, on the basis of historical data, that at the time of exceeding 90 days, there is no risk of collectability.
To minimize the impact of overdue receivables on the result, Montea manages its customer base efficiently. On a regular basis, Montea subjects its customers to a credit analysis. Similarly, it will subject potential customers to a preliminary credit analysis before proceeding to conclude new contracts.

The other non-current financial liabilities include only the negative valuation of interest-rate hedging instruments as at 31/12/2022. Note 22 includes the positive variations in the value of the interest rate hedging instruments (under financial fixed assets).

The "Exit tax" section consists mainly of provisions made as a result of the acquisitions of the real estate companies Hoecor NV and Corhoe NV (see Note 20).
The "Suppliers" item still has an outstanding balance of €11.8 million. This remaining amount is mainly owed to third parties following ongoing developments in Belgium, the Netherlands and France.
The "Taxes, remuneration and social security charges" section consists mainly of the provision set up for the receipt of the provisional tax assessment notice by the Dutch fiscal entity whose FBI status is pending but has not yet been obtained. See note 26 and section 11.5.4.
The "Other current liabilities" section consists mainly of liabilities relating to acquisitions through share transactions. The amount under "Other current liabilities" at the end of 2020 consisted of an outstanding debt to Kellen BV amounting to €4.7 million following the acquisition of the Tiel site in Q3 2018 and pertains to the ongoing archaeological investigations. This was offset during 2021 with a bank guarantee and deposit as part of the initial purchase price.

The practical application of fair value measurement of investment properties was carried out by the external real estate experts largely based on the capitalization method.
The practical application of the fair value measurement of property investments, based on the capitalization method, was carried out by the external real estate experts who determined market rent values and market yields on all individual sites. Certain corrections are added to these market rent values and market yields depending on the specific situation (e.g. the difference between the current rent and market rental value, the current value of future investments as well as the estimate of future vacancy).
As aforementioned, the fair value of the property investment is determined mainly on the basis of the market rental value (€/m²) and the equivalent yield (net yield based on an equivalent product at this location). The table below provides an overview of these two parameters per geographical region with a minimum, maximum and weighted average. In addition, the fair value of the property investments is determined by the difference of the current rent compared to the market rental value.
| Valuation fair value of investment properties | BE | FR | NL | DE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rental Capitalization Method | ||||
| Market rental value (Min - Max.) (EURO /m²) | 25-135 | 35-150 | 30-145 | NVT |
| Market rental value - Weighted Average (EURO /m²) | 55.18 | 57.23 | 58.61 | NVT |
| Equivalent Yield (Min - Max.) (%) | 3.16%-8.25% | 4.00%-6.00% | 2.71%-6.23% | NVT |
| Equivalent Yield - Weighted Average (%) | 4.72% | 4.72% | 5.10% | NVT |
| Average inflation (%) | 10.21% | 6.73% | 11.00% | 9.6% |
| Actual rent compared to market rental value (%) | 94.83% | 96.39% | 90.63% | NVT |
The table above shows that the minimum and maximum market rental values are far apart. This is mainly due to the:
The cash flow method is no longer applied as it does not create any added value to the existing capitalization method. This cash flow method will be applied only in very specific cases to support the capitalization method.
The table below shows the main parameters relating to 2021:

The practical application of the fair value measurement of solar panels is based on a calculation of the net present value over the remaining term of the green certificates.
Solar panels are valued using the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment. After the initial recognition, the asset whose fair value can be measured reliably must be carried at revalued value, i.e. the fair value at the time of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value is determined using the discounted future earnings method.
The solar panels are valued on a quarterly basis by the real estate expert.
The capital gain on start-up of a new site in terms of solar panels is included in a separate component of equity, as a result of the application of the discounted future revenue method, which results in a higher market value than the original cost of the solar panels. Impairments are also recognized in this component unless realized or unless the fair value falls below the original cost. In the latter cases, they are recognized in the result.

In determining the fair value of derivative instruments, account was taken of the fair value made available to Montea by the financial institutions, based on the swap rate of similar products on 31/12/2022, relative to contracted hedging instruments. The fair value of the derivative instruments amounts to €40,894K as at 31/12/2022. This should normally be catalogued under Level 2. In addition, the company should also value the "non-performance risk". Montea has a positive fair value on its hedging instruments.
Based on estimates (credit default swaps as at 31/12/2022, the average age of outstanding swaps), Montea has calculated a "non-performance risk" amounting to €520.8K (credit value adjustment) compared to a debt valuation adjustment of €805.6K as at 31/12/2021. This non-performance risk has a negative impact on the fair value of the derivative instruments. Due to the fact of expressing this non-performance risk, the full fair value of €40,374K is recognized in Level 2. The fluctuation of the non-performance risk is largely due to the development of the market value of the derivative instruments during the past financial year.
Financial liabilities consist of bond loans, the drawn credit lines and other debts. The practical application of fair value in valuing the bonds was based on the indicative pricing in the active market. As it was not traded as of 31/12/2022, the bonds are classified in Level 2 (market valuation in the active market for a similar product). The fair value of the fixed-rate bonds is different from the current book value, given the evolution in the EURIBOR interest rate that makes the fair value of these bonds €94.4 million lower than the book value. 80% of all credit lines were concluded at variable interest rates (bilateral credit lines at EURIBOR 3 or 6 months, floated + margin). The fair value of the outstanding credit lines and the fair value of the variable rate bond are therefore almost equal to the book values of these credit lines and bond. The classification as Level 2 is justifiable as the market valuation is available in an active market for similar products.
The valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurement of current assets and current liabilities are the reason why current assets and current liabilities are measured at nominal value, given that these receivables and payables are short-term and therefore the credit risk is limited.
Montea applies IFRS 8 as regards the segment information requirement.

Montea on the stock market
Corporate governance declaration Risk factors Financial report
Exposure to exchange rate, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks may arise in Montea's normal business operations. The company analyses and reviews each risk and defines strategies to manage the economic impact on its performance. The results of these analyses and proposed strategies are reviewed and approved by the board of directors on a regular basis.
The sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk should be carried out on both the net income and on equity. As no hedging is applied, the impact will not differ.
a. Interest rate risk
Some 20% of the Company's non-current and current financial liabilities consist of floating interest rates. The Company uses IRS and CAP type financial hedging instruments to hedge the interest rate risk.
As at 31/12/2022, 96.0% of the interest rate risk was hedged by concluding fixed-rate contracts or hedging instruments such that an increase/decrease in interest rates has a limited impact on the Company's result.
An increase of 100 basis points in short-term interest rates, calculated as at 31 December 2022, would cause an increase of €0.3 million in the total financial cost. This negative effect is explained by a hedging ratio of 96.0%
.
The credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is managed on an ongoing basis. Each new tenant is individually examined for creditworthiness before the Company offers a lease, taking into account a 3-month or 6-month rental guarantee.
c. Foreign exchange risk
The Company's property portfolio consists exclusively of buildings in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany and are all leases are in euros, so the Company is not exposed to any exchange rate risk.
d. Liquidity risk
Note 34 (Financial debts) provides an overview of the financial liabilities with their respective maturities. The Company manages its liquidity risk by having sufficient available credit facilities and by matching receipts and payments insofar as possible.
Transactions with related companies are limited to the management fee between the Sole Director, Montea Management NV and Montea NV. Montea further confirms that there are no transactions on non-market terms with related parties.
At the end of financial year 2022, the following items were included in the financial statements:
The group structure of Montea as at 31 December 2022 is set forth in section 11.1.5.2.
There are a number off-balance sheet obligations for financial year 2022:
For a discussion of the events after 31 December 2022, we refer to section 5.3.

As a company, Montea also has to comply with article 7:212 of the Code of Companies and Associations whereby net assets may not fall below the amount of capital and unavailable reserves as a result of a dividend distribution.
According to the table below, Montea still has a buffer of €58,784K, after payment of the proposed dividend of €3.30 per share.

The amounts indicated in grey in the table above has been updated because of an erroneous presentation in the past. As a result, this amount does not correspond to the amount published in the annual reports for the financial years ending respectively on 31/12/2020 and on 31/12/2021. We must point out that this in no way affects the dividend paid. It merely concerns the remaining margin after the dividend payment.
The remaining margin after the dividend payout amounts to €58,784K at the end of 2022 due to the fact that the RRECs net assets have increased relatively more than the amount of nondistributable equity (both calculated in accordance with article 7:212 of the Code of Companies and Associations).

In October 2019, EPRA published its new Best Practice Recommendations which set out the financial indicators listed real estate companies should disclose so as to provide more transparency across the European listed sector. For example, the EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV were consequently replaced by three new Net Asset Value indicators: Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and Net Disposal Value (NDV).
The EPRA NAV indicators are obtained by correcting the IFRS NAV in such a way that stakeholders get the most relevant information about the fair value of assets and liabilities. The EPRA NAV indicates per share are calculated based on the number of shares on balance sheet date. 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 required to reconstitute the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including Real Estate Transfer Taxes.

| NRV per share (€/share) | 79.33 | 70.56 |
Net Tangible Assets: assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby realising certain levels of deferred taxation. This pertains to the NAV adjusted to include property and other long-term investments at fair value and to exclude certain items that are not expected to be firmly established in a business model with long-term investment properties.

Net Disposal Value: provides the reader with a scenario of the sale of the company's assets leading to realization of deferred taxes, financial instruments, and certain or other adjustments for the full extent of their liability. This scenario assumes that the company that sells the assets, leading to the realisation of deferred taxes and the liquidation of debt and financial instruments. This NAV should not be considered a liquidation NAV as in many cases the fair value is not equal to the liquidation value.

• A building that has been in the investment portfolio for the last 2 full years (i.e. from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022) is considered to be a building that is fully comparable between these 2 years. The set of buildings that meets this condition is included in the 'Like-for-Like' analysis. All other buildings are non-comparable. We also draw attention to the fact that only the 'standing investments' are included in this table, whereas the CAPEX table (cf. Infra) includes concessions, solar panels and developments in addition to the 'standing investments'.

*10 Differences in energy mix due to energy crisis leading to higher GHG emission factors in 2022 compared to compared to 2021
Since control over energy purchase is key in the reduction of GHG emissions, we apply the operational control approach when defining our organisational boundaries for reporting against the EPRA sBPR's.
Data are collected through a combination of energy monitoring systems, extraction of contract data and tenant surveys. Montea recognizes that the accuracy and reliability of the data it uses in monitoring the environmental performance of its portfolio are directly linked to the quality of the information received, possible measurement inaccuracies and other factors that could potentially reduce data quality. Nevertheless, Montea strives for continuous improvement of this data quality through automation, the use of multiple sources as verification and the optimization of the monitoring systems.

EBITDA is considered to be the operating result before portfolio result plus depreciation and amortization.
To calculate the Adjusted net debt/EBITDA, the net financial debts in the numerator are adjusted for ongoing projects in execution multiplied by the debt ratio as these projects do not yet generate an operational result but are already included in financial debts. In addition, there is also an adjustment in the denominator for the annualized impact of external growth.

Through our independent valuation expert JLL, we share comments about the markets in the field of logistics real estate. The research material covers the countries and submarkets where the real estate to be valued is located, namely the Belgian industrial market, the Dutch industrial market, the French industrial market and the German industrial market.
Overall, in 2022, the industrial real estate occupier market recorded results that were 10% lower than the total volume in 2021. The volume in m² taken into occupation was in line with that of the pre-Covid years. Our main observation is there has been an improvement in the occupancy of logistics spaces but a clear decline for semi-industrial units.
In 2022, 1,047,000 m² of logistics space was rented and sold in Belgium, an increase of 29% compared to 2021 and the third highest volume ever recorded (2008 and 2016).
We see a new trend: logistics real estate projects are leased shortly before or just after completion. Logistics projects, part of which is built speculatively, often find tenants as soon as they are completed. This trend will certainly continue in 2023.
In 2022, the volume of transactions on the Walloon axis reached more than doubled compared to 2021. However, the Antwerp-Brussels axis remains the most popular logistics hub in the country based on the number of transactions: 26 logistics operations were recorded there in 2022, compared to 13 on the Walloon axis. We expect that a continued attraction of these axes will be maintained in 2023.
The 2022 Belgian Industrial real estate investment market was, against all odds, a successful year.
Volume surpassed the one billion euro mark for the first time ever, 77% higher than the 2021 volume and 89% above the five-year average. More than 4 out of 5 transactions concern logistics buildings and the volume of investments in this segment has more than doubled compared to the average of the last five years.
Yet, with an annual total of 32, the number of transactions in 2022 is barely above the five-year average. The exceptionally high investment volume is therefore entirely due to the completion of a number of important transactions: 6 in the segment above 50 million euros and 2 even exceeding 100 million euros. In the past decade, there have only been three years that have seen at least one transaction of this magnitude, but never before have two transactions been completed in the same year.
In the Belgian market, 72% of the investment volume in 2022 was made by Belgian investors. In comparison, over the last five years, Belgian investors have accounted for only 57% of the volume on average. Belgian REITs such as WDP, Montea and Intervest Offices & Warehouses have been particularly active and account for more than half of the volume in 2022. The rest of the volume invested comes from US and UK investors. These are mainly "Core" transactions, i.e. buildings occupied by known and strategically located tenants. On the buyer side, Prologis, Whitewood and Tristan Capital Partners were active.

Foreign investors showed interest in several of our products from the "logistics" segment, participated in the tender processes but gave up in the face of domestic investors.
In 2023, given the presence of many major Belgian players in this market, the situation will certainly not change in the near future.
Only 5% of the total investment volume in 2022 was recorded in the last quarter. 70% of the annual volume was recorded in the first half of the year and only 30% in the second. Investors clearly paused in the final quarter of 2022 when it became clear that yields were starting to rise for the first time in more than 10 years.
However, investor interest in this asset class remains intact and JLL expects a recovery as soon as the market stabilizes, probably in the second half of 2023.
Sustained inflation has led to higher prime yields in Belgium, as in other European countries. At the European level, the increase is 50 to 100 basis points compared to the peak at the beginning of 2022, while decompression in Belgium has been limited to 40 basis points. The current best return for logistics real estate is 4.25% while the best for semi-industrial units is 5.80%.
For 2023, demand does not seem to be slowing down. Indeed, the number of requests recorded in our database remains similar to that of 2022. The volume of transactions is fuelled by a number of subleases and projected transactions, i.e. transactions "just in case". The persistent shortage of supply of industrial real estate is pushing some major logistics players to rent "risky" space for future logistics contracts. Their surplus is then occasionally sub-let to other users and at the same time supports market volumes. With availability still limited (still less than 1% on the Antwerp-Brussels axis), this trend is expected to continue.
Prime yields are expected to remain slightly higher in 2023, with a further decline in yields expected in 2024-2025, according to our forecasts.
The Dutch logistics real estate market continues to be a tight market in the face of its strong growth over the past few years, spurred by the growth in e-commerce. The immediate availability of logistics facilities has been declining over time and became even more scarce last year, with vacancy rates now approaching 1%. This resulted in limited occupier choice and will make it even harder to meet occupier demand. These market conditions have led to a decrease in leasing activity last year. In 2022, a total of 3.1 million m² was leased, which is a 37% decrease YoY.

In the medium-term, the market is expected to remain tight as future supply is currently also being challenged by the fierce competition for land and tightening of government policy to fight 'boxification'.
Furthermore, the majority (61%) of the anticipated new logistics space for 2023 (approx. 1.8 million sq m) has already been pre-committed (pre-let or owner-occupied).
Landlord favourable conditions have led to unprecedented increases in asking rents over the past year. Prime rents in the port of Rotterdam reached € 100 per m² per annum last year (+33%), exceeding rents in Amsterdam (around the port and distribution hub Schiphol) for the first time. Current market circumstances justify future rental growth. However, this is expected to become more moderate in the future as the economy and consumer spending slows down.
Due to higher interest rates and economic uncertainty, there has been a significant increase in yields during Q4 and the net prime initial yield (NIY) for the Netherlands now stands at circa 4.25% (as of January 2023). Investors are waiting for yields to stabilize at a new market equilibrium and because of this there has been a slowdown in investment activity in Q4 2022.
The investment market is currently still in transition as wider economic conditions are changing in response to the high inflation. As of the end of March 2023, the ECB increased interest rates by 50 bps. The increasing cost of financing will have an impact on the expected return of investors and could have a further impact on investment activity. But unlike other periods of uncertainty, lenders are still open for business, with a focus on asset quality. Prime yields are expected to move up further this year as the market continues its transition towards the new normal.
The logistics sector will continue to be tight as supply continues to be challenged. Furthermore, the sector is backed by strong demand drivers. The expected slowdown in economic activity in combination with newly completed stock may provide some breathing room. Occupiers are currently facing higher occupational and energy- related costs in the wake of high inflation. Simultaneously, investors are faced by higher financing costs. Hence, a new market balance must be found.

After an exceptional year in 2021, the French logistics real estate market in 2022 saw its demand approach the threshold of 3.4 million m². This level, although down 10% year-on-year, remains high, with 770,000 m² of take-up on average over the last three quarters of 2022. Retail giants are still actively involved in the high level of warehouse marketing in France, followed by companies in the industrial sector. We should also note the growing weight of "La Dorsale" in sales this year, with a market share rising from 44% in the 1st quarter to 56% in the last quarter.
Over the whole of 2022, 3,391,700 m² of warehouses of more than 10,000 m² were rented on French territory. This level is down 10% compared to last year's volume (3,767,000 m²) but is 17% above the long-term average. This performance, more than adequate, is however largely related to the excellent momentum observed during the 1st quarter (1,070,000 m² marketed, a record), while 789,000 m² were placed in the last quarter.

The segment of warehouses between 10,000 m² and 20,000 m² is experiencing some dynamism, accounting for 59% of the deals recorded this year (82 transactions). Further down, the 20,000 m² - 40,000 m² niche shows a decrease in the number of transactions (40 transactions against 43 last year). XXL transactions (>40,000 m²) are 19 compared to 20 a year earlier. 3 exceed 70,000 m².
"La Dorsale" accounts for 54% of the total area marketed throughout the year. Paris and Lille are doing interesting years, but not as good as last year, capturing respectively 27% and 11% of activity. The Lyon market is just behind the Lille market and accounts for less than 11%. Further down, the Marseille market represents 5%.
Prime rents in the Paris and Lyon regions recorded further increases to reach €66 and €60/m²/ year respectively. In the other markets, rents remain positioned at €60 in the Marseille region and €46 in the Lille market.
Nearly €883 million was invested in the French logistics real estate market in Q4 2022, a lower volume than in the previous quarter (€1.6 billion). This result brings the total amount invested over the full year to nearly 4.6 billion euros, down 11% year-on-year but which is the 3rd best performance in the last ten years. Logistics thus retains a very high market share, with 18% of investments made in commoditized real estate in France in 2022.
The market remains highly internationalized, with a market share of only 34% for French investors. Singaporean investors, who accounted for the most significant transaction, accounted for 15% of commitments, international funds for 13%, while US investors accounted for 11% of the business.
This performance is also based on the signing of 14 transactions worth more than €100 million, including 2 of more than €300 million.
Like other asset classes, warehouses saw a further rise in prime yields this quarter. The prime rate of return in logistics thus stood at 4.15% at the end of 2022..
Economists are very cautious for 2023 both because of an extremely changing context but also because of the expected effects of monetary tightening as well as the persistence of external shocks such as the war in Ukraine. World GDP is expected to grow between +2.2% (OECD) and +2.7% (IMF). According to analyses made by economists, European countries should experience a stagnation or a decline in GDP straddling the 4th quarter of 2022 and the 1st quarter of 2023 before a recovery as from the 2nd quarter. Regarding France, the OECD decides on a growth of +0.6% while the BANQUE DE FRANCE advances the figure of +0.3%. While the forecasts at the beginning of the year point to weak global growth, the unprecedented resistances in 2022 also show us that the scenario of 2023 is not yet written.
The big topic of 2022 – inflation – will remain relevant for longer than expected. Two phases are anticipated by economists, inflation peaking in Europe in the 1st quarter of 2023 followed by a phase of slow decline that would not allow a return to normal until the end of 2024 or 2025. France – whose inflation has remained well below the European average – is expected to reach the peak of inflation at the beginning of the year, notably due to a resizing of certain tariff shields such as the capping of the increase in electricity and gas prices from 4% in 2022 to 15% in 2023.
The fall in inflation in 2023 is a strategic issue to avoid triggering the dreaded price-wage loop that would install the phenomenon in the long term. However, States and companies are now on the edge with a rise in wage demands.
On the supply chain side, after disruptions related to China's 0 COVID policy since 2020, we have just seen a complete turnaround by the Chinese government. This new policy brings new uncertainties: the spread of COVID within the workforce and risks on production lines, pressure on the supply of certain pharmaceutical products and risks of diffusion of new variants.
From experience, periods of uncertainty do not favor real estate decisions and the rental market will probably be on a lower dynamic than that observed in 2022, at least for the first part of the year. Despite the economic and geopolitical context, the French logistics market remains on a high level of activity after a very dynamic 2021. The level of take-up remains strong, with 770,000 m² leased, on average over the last three quarters of 2022. Retail giants are still actively involved in the high level of warehouses leased in France, followed by companies in the industrial sector. For the 1st half of 2023, we foresee a take-up of approximately 1.8 million m².
We also anticipate a slight increase in availability at the beginning of the year, linked to the large volume of deliveries expected in Q1 2023 with potentially nearly additional 700,000 m² to supply the stock. However, these deliveries mainly concern the Lille and Marseille markets.
Rental values are expected to experience contrasting trends in the coming months depending on the markets and their levels of land availability.
As anticipated, the 4th quarter is bearing the brunt of unsuccessful marketing that could not be caught up because of a lack of stabilization of central bank messages on key rates and funding which took place mainly in June and July and had a strong impact on year-end volumes.
The macroeconomic context is still as uncertain as ever and the "price discovery" phase that continues should also materialize in the volumes of the 1st half of 2023, before a more dynamic end of the year.
More generally, the logistics market share of logistics real estate investments in France (18%) has increased significantly since 2016, demonstrating that logistics has become an asset in its own right and that it is no longer a notion of diversification, suggesting high investment volumes in the years to come.
On the German market for warehouse and logistics space, around 8.5 million m² of square meters were taken-up in 2022. This was only just short of the record value from the previous year (8.67 million m²). However, the five-year average was exceeded by 19%.
Most of the space was leased by companies in the transport, traffic and warehousing sector (34%), followed by trading companies (29%) and industrial companies, which increased their share of total sales from 19% in 2021 to 27% in 2022.
The demand for space remains high. Many companies are expanding their production, storage and distribution capacities in Germany in order to be less dependent on global developments. The shortage of space continues to be a challenge. Many regions remain characterized by a lack of modern, short-term logistics space and land.
After a high completion volume of 835,000 m² was already registered in the first half of 2022, a further 530,000 m² was added in the second half of the year. This means that the volume of new construction has more than doubled year-on-year. The largest completions were in the Berlin region, followed by Hamburg. Almost another million square meters are currently under construction in the five metropolitan areas. Of these areas, 60% are already rented or are being built for owner-occupiers. Here, too, most cranes in Berlin and Hamburg are turning, each with around 300,000 m² in construction.
Overall, 72% of the take-up was made in new buildings or project developments. There has been no major change compared to recent years: the five-year average is 74%.
In addition to the shortage of space, the increased construction costs had a major impact on the fact that prime rents for storage space in the order of 5,000 m² or more have risen in all Big 5 markets over the last twelve months. Meanwhile, the prime rent in each of the Big 5 markets has exceeded the seven-euro mark. The strongest increases were recorded in Munich (40%), Berlin (36%) and Düsseldorf (29%). In Hamburg, the value rose by 23% and in Frankfurt by 12%. For the current year 2023, we expect further increases in prime rents.
The German investment market ended 2022 with a total transaction volume of €66 billion, including the "living" segment. As already forecasted in December, the usual fireworks display of transactions at the end of the year failed to materialise this time. This result is around 41 percent down on the record year of 2021. On the other hand, it only fell some 8 percent short of the 10-year average. The fact that the comparison with the long-term is not so dramatic is due to the strong first half of 2022, whilst the second six months of the year were increasingly characterised by restraint and market observation on the part of investors. We expect that this trend will initially continue into the first half of 2023 but will then gradually ease. Market players want to make sure that the interest rate rises slow down again or stall before they invest.
The reasons for the restrained investor activity are widely acknowledged: the European Central Bank's (ECB) further hike of 50 basis points in key interest rates in mid-December may have been a somewhat smaller step, but comments by the monetary watchdogs left no doubt that inflation is still clearly too high and that further rate rises could follow. In the wake of the interest rate decision, yields on 10-year government bonds and financing interest rates rose sharply again. lt remains to be seen how the recent decline in price increases to 8.6 percent in December will be received by the markets. Caps on gas prices and lower oil and petrol prices are mainly responsible for this quite significant decline. Nevertheless, core inflation (excluding energy and food) continued to rise and is expected to reach 5.2 percent. This will be the ECB's main focus in the coming weeks and months.
With the return of interest rates, traditional financial investments have once again shifted into the focus of institutional investors. From a nominal perspective, German government bonds in particular have become more attractive than real estate, stemming the flow of capital into the real estate market, especially in the second half of the year. As a result, the gap between real estate yields and 10-year government bonds narrowed to a round 0.5 percentage points during 2022; such a low yield differential has not been seen since 2008. By the end of December, this spread had widened again to almost 1 percentage point, mainly due to the rise in real estate yields.

As a result, the investment focus is no longer on the flight towards zero and negative interest rates, but on inflation proofing and hedging real estate yields. The longer the inflationary conditions persist, the more insurers, pension funds and private investors will have to deal with the loss of purchasing power and assets, and focus on investments that offer the best possible protection against inflation. This orientation phase should continue for a few more weeks, but as soon as price levels have been recalibrated, more capital should flow back into real estate. Both private investors and foreign funds have built up a lot of money in 2022 and are ready to invest, but they are still waiting to see if further corrections follow. Nonetheless, these increased yield expectations do not always materialize. As soon as interest rates and economic expectations improve and long-term interest rates fall, we will see a swift rebound in yields. Waiting too long can also be a mistake. The only way out of the original core capital is into a style drift, to buy in to higher expected returns with higher risks. A style drift occurs when the stated investment strategy and the actual implementation no longer coincide.
As in previous years, the bulk of the transaction volume was attributable to domestic investors. But international players also continue to have confidence in Germany's real estate market. Six of the seven largest transactions in 2022, which together amounted to over €11 billion, took place with foreign participation on the buy-side.
At almost €22 billion, most capital was invested in office properties (33 percent of the total transaction volume), followed by the "living" segment with €14.4 billion (22 per cent). Transactions in logistics properties totalled €9.6 billion, increasing their relative share to almost 15 percent. The revival of retail properties that took place at the end of the third quarter was confirmed in the year's overall result, bringing the annual total to €9.4 billion (14 percent) and positioning this real estate segment just behind logistics properties; food-anchored retail warehouses and supermarkets in particular were able to maintain their reputation as anchors of stability.
Whilst the last quarter of the year was also the weakest for the two strongest real estate segments, "living" and office, this was not the case for logistics and retail, and certainly not for mixed-use properties. This real estate segment achieved its best quarterly result with €2.3 billion, bringing its annual total to €6.3 billion. Ln the current market, however, diversification across several uses appears to be an effective means of keeping the property-specific risk as low as possible, even for single-asset transactions. Nevertheless, the fundamentals are right for both living and offices. Far too little is being built in the residential segment considering the continued rise in demand for housing. Meanwhile, the high employment rate in the service sector is significantly boosting rental take-up in the office segment. Both suggest a strong rebound in these segments
With central banks' zero interest rate policies coming to an end, not only did alternative investment assets become more attractive in 2022, interest rates on borrowings also increased. A snapshot comparison between 3rd January 2022 and 30th December 2022 shows an increase in 5-year swap rates of 319 basis points to a level not recorded since 2008. It was therefore only a matter of time before property yields also showed a corresponding shift. Over the year, prime yields in the individual real estate segments rose between 15 basis points for shopping centres and 90 basis points for logistics properties. In between them are prime yields for office properties which rose by an average of 67 basis points in the real estate strongholds, and retail warehouse products and high-street retail properties which rose by an average of 40 and 30 basis points, respectively. For offices, an average of 3.31 percent means that for the first time a "3" has appeared in front of the decimal point since the second quarter of 2019; for properties of only average quality in prime locations, initial yields have even risen to 4.22 percent; and for older office properties in secondary locations with short unexpired lease terms, there stands a"5"in front of the decimal point for the first time since 2018.
The yield level also affects the behaviour of players in the market. The sometimes very low yields in the Core segment in the past have also severely limited buyers' appetite for risk. With somewhat higher yields, risks can be priced in again; in itself, this is not bad for a market and it helps to create sufficient liquidity. The current developments could therefore encourage a speedier completion of some transactions once again. The current price level also reflects the behaviour of investors and the financing banks, which have significantly increased their risk aversion.
The outlook for 2023 will depend on coming to terms with the new underlying conditions. The fact is that there will not be a return to the zero interest rates of previous years and the correction process cannot take place without leaving traces when lending conditions quadruple. lt will be essential to find a corridor into which margins and capital market interest rates can settle and with which investors and developers can reliably calculate. The central banks have the reins in their hands. For investors, there are currently good selective entry opportunities in the wake of rising yields, before a consolidation or even a new yield compression could set in during the second half of this year.

To the company administrators Montea NV Industriezone III Zuid Industrielaan 27 bus 6 9320 Erembodegem
Belgium
Antwerp, 7th February 2023
Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
In accordance to the article 47 of the law of 12 May 2014 on the Belgian Real Estate Investment Trusts (SIR/GVV), you asked Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) and Stadim to value the buildings situated in Belgium, France The Netherlands and Germany, belonging to the BE-REIT.
Our mission has been realized in complete independence.
In accordance with established practice, our mission has been realized based on the information communicated by Montea NV regarding rental condition, charges and taxes carried by the lessor, work to be realized, as well as all other elements that might influence the value of the buildings. We suppose this information to be exact and complete. As stated explicitly in our valuation reports, this does not include in any way the valuation of structural and technical quality of the building, nor an analysis of the presence of any harmful material. These elements are known by Montea NV, that manages its portfolio in a professional manner and carries a technical and juridical due diligence before the acquisition of each building.
Every building is known by the experts. They work with different software, such as Argus Enterprise or Microsoft Excel.
The investment value can be defined as the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
Montea NV – 31 12 2022 Page 2
The experts have adopted different methods.
JLL have adopted two different methods: the « Term and Reversion » method and the « Hardcore » method. Besides, they also did a control in terms of price per m².
According to the « Term and Reversion » method, the capitalization of the revenues considers the actual revenue until the end of the current contract, and then takes the estimated rental value in perpetuity. According to the « Hardcore » method, the estimated rental value is capitalized in perpetuity before looking at adjustments that consider surfaces that are rented below or above their rental value, void, etc.
The method used by Stadim is based on Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), in combination with the capitalisation method when desired. The Stadim approach is characterized by reference prices on the one hand and the factoring in of future earnings on the other.
The yield, used for these methods, represents the expected yield for investors for this kind of properties. It reflects the intrinsic risks of the good and the sector (future void, credit risk, maintenance obligations, etc.). To determine this yield, experts based themselves on the most comparable transactions and current transactionsin their investment department.
When there are unusual factors or specific factors applicable to a property, corrections will be applied (important renovations, non-recoverable costs…).
The sale of a property is in theory subjected to transaction costs. This amount depends among others on the method of transfer, the type of buyer and the geographic location of the property. This amount is known once the sale is closed. In Belgium, as independent real estate experts we can admit that based on a representative sample of transactions in the market between 2002 and 2005 (and recently revised for the period 2013-2016), the weighted average of the costs (average of the transaction costs) was 2,5% (for goods with a net value superior to 2.500.000 EUR). The Belgian properties are considered as a portfolio. The transaction costs for buildings located is France is 1,8% when the building is less than 5 years old and between 6,9% and 7,5%, depending on the department, in all other case. The transaction costs for buildings located in The Netherlands is 10,4%. The transaction costs for buildings located in Germany depend on region and market value volume.

Montea NV – 31 12 2022 Page 3
Based on the remarks in previous paragraphs, we confirm that the investment value of the real estate portfolio of Montea NV on December 31th, 2022 amounts to:
This amount takes into account the value attributed to the buildings valuated by the companies, Jones Lang LaSalle and Stadim in the four countries where Montea NV is present.
After deduction of respectively 2,5% for buildings located in Belgium (average rate of transaction costs defined by the experts of the BE-REITS), 1,8% / 6,9%-7,5% for buildings located in France, 10,4% for buildings located in The Netherlands, and transaction costs depending on the location and volume for buildings in Germany, as transaction cost on the investment value, we obtain a Fair Value of Montea NV real estate assets as of December 31th, 2022 at :

In the context of the statutory audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements) of Montea nv (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group"), we report to you as statutory auditor. This report includes our opinion on the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, the consolidated statement of realized and unrealized results before profit distribution, the consolidated result before profit distribution, the consolidated cash flow statement and the statement of changes in the consolidated equity and reserves for the year ended 31 December 202 2 and the disclosures (all elements together the "Consolidated Financial Statements") as well as our report on other legal and regulatory requirements. These two reports are considered one report and are inseparable .
We have been appointed as statutory auditor by the shareholders ' meeting of 17 May 2022, in accordance with the proposition by the Board of Directors following recommendation of the Audit Committee. Our mandate expires at the shareholders' meeting that will deliberate on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024. We performed the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group during 13 consecutive years.
We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Montea nv, that comprise of the consolidated balance sheet as at
31 December 202 2, the consolidated statement of realized and unrealized results before profit distribution, the consolidated result before profit distribution, the consolidated cash flow statement and the statement of changes in the consolidated equity and reserves for the year ended 31 December 202 2 and the disclosures, which show a consolidated balance sheet total of € 2.327.712 thousand and of which the consolidated income statement shows a profit for the year of € 204.458 thousand.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated net equity and financial position as at 31 December 2022, and of its consolidated results for the year then ended, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS") and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium .
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISA 's") applicable in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the ISA's approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB") that apply at the current year-end date and have not yet been approved at national level. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report.
We have complied with all ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium, including those with respect to independence.
We have obtained from the Board of Directors and the officials of the Company the explanations and information necessary for the performance of our audit and we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

2
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current reporting period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and consequently we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
• Description of the matter and audit risk:
Investment property represents 9 1% of the assets of the Group. As at 31 December 202 2, the investment properties on the assets of the balance sheet amount to € 2.124.563 thousand.
In accordance with the accounting policies and IAS 40 standard "Investment property", investment property is valued at fair value, and the changes in the fair value of investment property are recognized in the income statement.
The fair value of investment properties belongs to the level 3 of the fair value hierarchy defined within the IFRS 13 standard "Fair Value Measurement". Some parameters used for valuation purposes being based on only limited observable data (discount rate, future occupancy rate, …) and require therefore an estimation from the management.
The audit risk appears in the valuation of these investment properties and is therefore a key audit
matter. • Summary of audit procedures performed
The Group uses external experts to make an estimate of the fair value of its buildings. We have assessed the valuation reports of the external experts (with the support of our internal valuation experts).
More precisely, we have:
| - | assessed the objectivity, the independence and the competence of the external experts; |
|---|---|
| - | tested the integrity of source data (contractual rentals, maturities of the rental contracts, …) used in their calculations and reconciled with the underlying contracts; |
| - | reviewed the models, assumptions and parameters used in their reports (discount rates, future occupancy rates, …) |
| Finally, we have assessed the appropriateness of the information on the fair value of the investment properties disclosed in note 20 of the Consolidated Financial Statements |
|
| Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements |
|
| The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium and for such internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
|
| As part of the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and provide, if applicable, information on matters impacting going concern, The Board of Directors should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease business operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |

3

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA 's will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
In performing our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework that applies to the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium. However, a statutory audit does not provide assurance about the future viability of the Company and the Group, nor about the efficiency or effectiveness with which the board of directors has taken or will undertake the Company's and the Group' s business operations. Our responsibilities with regards to the going concern assumption used by the board of directors are described below.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA 's, we exercise professional judgment and we maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:
• identification and assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, the planning and execution of audit procedures to respond to these risks and obtain audit evidence which is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting material misstatements resulting from fraud is higher than when such misstatements result from errors, since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
We communicate with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the audits of the subsidiaries. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities.
We provide the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

| regulations prohibit this. |
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report.
In the context of our mandate and in accordance with the additional standard to the ISA 's applicable in Belgium, it is our responsibility to verify, in all material respects, the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report, as well as to report on these matters.

Montea
We have been engaged by Montea NV (the "Company") to perform a limited assurance engagement, as defined by International Standards on Assurance Engagements ( "the Engagement " ) , to report on some of Montea's key sustainability indicators (more specific the following indicators: 2 -7, 2 -9, 2 -10, 2 -15, 302 -1, 302 -2, 302 -3, 305 -1, 305 -2, 305 -3, 305 -4, 305 -5, 401 -1, 404 -1, 405 -1, CRE1, CRE3) included in chapter 10.5 "GRI content index" and the sustainability metrics included in chapter 10.1.2 "Sustainability Reporting: EPRA sBPR tables" of Montea's Annual Report (the " Report ") (the "Subject Matter" and/or the "Key Sustainability Indicators ") for the year ended 31 December 202 2 .
Other than as described in the preceding paragraph, which sets out the scope of our engagement, we did not perform assurance procedures on the remaining sustainability indicators included in the Report, and accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on this information.
In preparing the Key Sustainability Indicators, Montea NV applied the EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations ( "sBPR ") and the Guidelines for the Preparation of the Sustainability Report of the Global Reporting Initiative ( "GRI ") Standards (together, the "Criteria").
Montea's management is responsible for selecting the Criteria, and for presenting the Key Sustainability Indicators in accordance with these Criteria, in all material respects . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls, maintaining adequate records and making estimates that are relevant to the preparation of the subject matter, such that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the presentation of the Subject Matter based on the evidence we have obtained.
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" (ISAE 3000), published by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that we plan and perform our Engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether, in all material respects, the Subject Matter is presented in accordance with the Criteria, and to issue a report. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusions.

We have maintained our independence and confirm that we have met the requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, and have the required competencies and experience to conduct this assurance engagement.
EY also applies International Standard on Quality Control 1, Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements, and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our procedures were designed to obtain a limited level of assurance on which to base our conclusion and do not provide all the evidence that would be required to provide a reasonable level of assurance.
Although we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our assurance engagement was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls. Our procedures did not include testing controls or performing procedures relating to checking aggregation or calculation of data within IT systems.
A limited assurance engagement consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for preparing the Key Sustainability Indicators and related information, and applying analytical and other appropriate procedures.
Our procedures included:
We also performed such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

In 2022, 100% of the Montea offices in Belgium, the Netherlands and France were part of the measurement scope.
We apply the operational control approach when defining our organisational boundaries for reporting against the EPRA sBPR's (see section 10.1.2).
The coverage for the existing portfolio is shown in the table below.

Supply data are collected through a combination of energy monitoring systems, extraction of contract data and tenant surveys. Montea recognizes that the accuracy and reliability of the data it uses in monitoring the environmental performance of its portfolio are directly linked to the quality of the information received, possible measurement inaccuracies and other factors that could potentially reduce data quality. Nevertheless, Montea strives for continuous improvement of this data quality through automation, the use of multiple sources as verification and the optimization of the monitoring systems. Some of the data was estimated. To determine Montea's total emissions consumptions have been extrapolated. The percentage of the data that was extrapolated is mentioned in the EPRA sBRP tables.
The CO2 -emissions were calculated according to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol which is used by companies to calculate their climate impact in a consistent manner.

Montea's consolidated capital on December 31, 2022 amounts to €367,352,910.39 including the costs of the capital increase and variations in the value of own shares.
The capital is represented by 18,025,220 fully paid-up ordinary shares without nominal value. There are no preference shares. Each of these shares confers one voting right (with the exception of the Company's own shares of which the voting right is suspended) at the general meeting and these shares therefore represent the denominator for the purposes of notifications in the event that the threshold set forth in the articles of association or the legal thresholds under the Transparency regulations are reached, exceeded or fallen below.
The capital may be increased or reduced in accordance with the legal provisions and the articles of association. The Sole Director also has the power to increase the capital within the limits of the authorisation granted in respect of the authorised capital.
The Sole Director is authorised by the extraordinary general meeting of February 10, 2023 to increase the capital in one or several instalments on the dates and under the conditions it shall determine and in accordance with the applicable legislation, by a maximum amount of:
This authorisation is granted for a period of five years as from the publication of the minutes of the extraordinary general meeting, being until March 1, 2028. To date, no capital increase has performed pursuant to this authorisation.
The statutory auditor is appointed by the general meeting of shareholders and chosen from the list of auditors approved by the FSMA.
The statutory auditor of Montea is EY Bedrijfsrevisoren BV, with registered office at 1831 Diegem, De Kleetlaan 2, represented by Mr Christophe Boschmans (acting on behalf of a BV) and Mrs Christel Weymeersch (acting on behalf of a BV). The auditor's mandate of EY Bedrijfsrevisoren was renewed during the annual general meeting of shareholders of May 17, 2022 for an additional period of 3 years (until the annual general meeting of 2025) regarding the financial years 2022 to 2024. As from the financial year 2023, only Christophe Boschmans (acting on behalf of a BV) will act as representative for this auditor's mandate.
The statutory auditor's function consists of auditing the consolidated and statutory annual financial accounts of Montea, as well as the other Belgian subsidiaries of the Montea group. In addition, the statutory auditor performs the tasks prescribed by the Code of Companies and Associations, the RREC Act and the RREC Royal Decree.
Montea confirms that the statutory auditor has consented to the inclusion of its report in this annual report and to the form or context in which it is included.
The statutory auditor's fee is calculated on the basis of a fixed annual fee. For the financial year closed on December 31, 2022 the fixed fee of the statutory auditor EY Bedrijfsrevisoren BV, for examining and auditing the Montea Group's company and consolidated accounts was € 67,650.00 (exclusive of VAT). In addition to the abovementioned fee, the statutory auditor carried out the following audit services:
Article 24 of the RREC Act provides that the RREC's property should be valued by one or more independent real estate experts. The expert acts in full independence and has the necessary professional reliability and appropriate experience in real estate valuation and has a suitable organisation for his missions. The expert is appointed for a renewable period of three years. He may only be charged with the valuation of a particular property for a maximum period of three years.
Montea has two real estate experts, namely:
Pursuant to article 47 of the RREC Act, the real estate experts valuate the property portfolio of the RREC and its perimeter companies 1 at the end of each financial year. Moreover, at the end of each first three quarters of the year, the real estate expert updates the total valuation made at the end of the previous year, depending on the market evolution and the characteristics of the real estate concerned. Finally, any property acquired or sold by the RREC (or its perimeter companies) is evaluated by the real estate expert in accordance with the provisions of article 47 of the RREC Act before the transaction takes place.
Pursuant to article 24, paragraph 4 of the RREC Act, the remuneration of the real estate expert shall not be directly or indirectly linked with the value of the property assessed by him. The fee of
(1) A "perimeter company" is a term used in the RREC Act and the RREC Royal Decree and refers to a company in which a RREC directly or indirectly holds more than 25% of the capital, including its subsidiaries within the meaning of article 6,2° of the Code of Companies and Associations.
the real estate expert is calculated based on a fixed fee per site in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. The real estate expert may also receive fees in the context of specific assignments.
For the financial year ended on December 31, 2022, the total fees paid for these assignments amounted to € 297,442 (exclusive of VAT).
Montea confirms that the real estate experts have consented to the inclusion of their report in this annual report and to the form or context in which it is included.
In 2022 Montea did not carry out any research and development activities as referred to in articles 3:6 and 3:32 of the Code of Companies and Associations.
Montea is a public regulated real estate company (openbare reglementeerde vastgoedvennootschap/ société immobilière réglementée publique) under Belgian law, listed on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris.
As a public regulated real estate company under Belgian law, Montea is subject to the Code of Companies and Associations, the RREC Act and the RREC Royal Decree. As a listed company it is also subject to all relevant legislation in that regard (including, but not limited to, the Transparency regulations).
Certain companies of the Montea group have adopted a specific legal form so that the special laws and regulations applicable to such legal forms must also be taken in account:
The details of each of these legal forms are explained below.
The regulated real estate company (RREC) introduced by the RREC Act makes it possible to create companies for the investment in real estate in Belgium, similar to what exists in many other countries: Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs) in the United States, Fiscale Beleggingsinstellingen (FBI) in the Netherlands, G-REITs in Germany, Sociétés d'Investissements Immobiliers Cotées (SIIC) in France and UK-REITs in the United Kingdom.
The main characteristics of the regulated real estate company are as follows:
11.5.2 The specialised real estate investment fund in Belgium
The specialised real estate investment funds (gespecialiseerd vastgoedbeleggingsfonds/fonds d'investissement immobilières spécialisé) (SREIF) are governed by the Royal Decree of November 9, 2016 regarding specialised real estate investment funds (SREIF RD). As of 31/12/2022 there is one company of Montea group that has adopted the SREIF-status, being F.C.B. NV.
The main characteristics of the SREIF-status are:
• a light regulatory regime without the approval and direct supervision of the FSMA, • registration on the SREIF list held by the Belgian Ministry of Finance;
• subject to an annual mandatory distribution of 80% of its net result;
Montea also has a branch in France having the SIIC status (Société d'Investissements Immobiliers Cotée) which is also listed on the secondary market of Euronext Paris.
The tax characteristics of a RREC and SIIC are quite similar. In particular, they are both exempt from corporate tax on annual income and on capital gains, it being understood that profits from activities other than the letting or sale of real estate are subject to corporate tax.
Annual Report 2022
Additional information
In order to realise its real estate investments in the Netherlands, Montea filed an application in September 2013 for the application of the fiscal regime of the FBI for Montea Nederland NV and its subsidiaries. Up to now, Montea Nederland NV and its subsidiaries have not yet received a final decision from the Dutch tax authorities approving the FBI status.
For more details about the pending FBI application and its financial processing, please refer to the section "Risk Factors".
In mid-September 2022, the Secretary of State for Finance of the Netherlands has announced in the offer letter to the Tax Plan 2023 that the cabinet would introduce a so-called real estate measure in the corporate income tax, as a result of which FBIs would no longer be able to invest directly in real estate. Montea Nederland NV and its subsidiaries would therefore no longer be able to claim FBI status as of 2024. In the meantime the entry into force of this abolition was postponed to the beginning of 2025 allowing sufficient time for the companies concerned to take flanking measures.
The ongoing dialogue between Montea Nederland NV and its subsidiaries and the Dutch tax administration is not impacted by the announced 2025 real estate measure. This measure will have no retroactive effect and, hence, has no impact on the ongoing application of the FBI status for the previous years.
The main characteristics (legal requirements) of the FBI are:

The chairman will appoint the secretary and the scrutineer of the votes. These persons do not have to be shareholders. These two functions may be carried out by a single person.
The chairman, secretary and scrutineer constitute the bureau.
Each share entitles the holder to one (1) vote, without prejudice to cases where the voting right provided for in theCode of Companies and Associations or any other applicable law has been suspended.
The general meeting may validly deliberate and vote, regardless of the proportion of the capital present or represented, except in cases where the Code of Companies and Associations requires an attendance quorum on condition that the sole director is present or represented. If the sole director is not present or represented, the general meeting must be reconvened and the second meeting will validly deliberate and vote regardless of whether the sole director is present or represented at this second meeting.
The general meeting may only validly deliberate on amendments to the articles of association if at least half of the capital is present or represented.

Any proposed amendment to the articles of association must be submitted beforehand to the FSMA.
An attendance list showing the names of the shareholders and the number of shares will be signed by each of the shareholders or by a representative prior to the beginning of the meeting.
Shareholders will be authorised to vote remotely by letter, using a form drawn up and made available by the Company, provided the governing body has authorised the use of remote voting in the convocation letter.

to vote with at the general meeting, the form of the votes held by the shareholder, the topics on the agenda for the meeting (including proposals for decisions) and a space allowing the shareholder to vote for or against each decision proposal, or to abstain, as well as the deadline by which the voting form must reach the Company.

Under article 7:137 of the Code Companies and Associations, the governing body can provide the possibility for each shareholder and any other holder of securities referred to in article 7:137 of the Code of Companies and Associations to vote remotely at the general meeting using a means of electronic communication made available by the Company.
Shareholders who take part in the general meeting in this way are, for the purpose of fulfilling the majority and attendance conditions, deemed to be present at the place where the meeting is held. The means of electronic communication mentioned above must enable the Company to verify the capacity and identity of the shareholder in accordance with methods established by the governing body. This body may set any additional conditions designed to safeguard the security of the means of electronic communication. The means of electronic communication must at least enable the holders of securities mentioned in the first paragraph to be aware directly, simultaneously and uninterruptedly of discussions during the meeting and, for shareholders, to exercise their voting right in relation to all of the topics on which the meeting is to express itself.
The governing body may also ensure that the means of electronic communication enables them to take part in the deliberations and ask questions. If the governing body provides the ability to take part in the general meeting by way of a means of electronic communication, the
letter of convocation to the general meeting will state the terms and procedures that apply.
The minutes of the general meeting will be signed by the members of the bureau and by any shareholders who request to do so. Copies of or extracts from the minutes that are used in court or otherwise must be signed by the sole director.

The Company's annual and half-yearly reports will be published on the Company website.
Shareholders may obtain a free copy of the annual and half-yearly reports from the Company's registered office.
In the event of the capital being reduced by one-half or three-quarters, the governing body must submit to the general meeting the request for dissolution pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies and Associations Code.
In the event of the dissolution of the Company, for whatever reason and at whatever time, the liquidation will be conducted by the sole director, who will receive remuneration in accordance with what is stated in article 13 of the articles of association.
In the event the sole director does not accept this task, liquidation will be conducted by one or more liquidators, who/which may be natural persons or legal entities appointed by the general meeting of shareholders.
If, according to the statement of assets and liabilities prepared in accordance with the Companies and Associations Code, it appears that not all of the creditors can be paid in full, the appointment of the liquidators in the articles of association or by the general meeting must be submitted to the president of the court for confirmation. However, this confirmation is not required if the statement of the assets and liabilities shows that the Company's only debts are to its shareholders and that all of the shareholders who are the Company's creditors agree to the appointment in writing.
If no liquidators are appointed or designated, then it is the sole director who will automatically be deemed to be liquidator vis-à-vis third parties, albeit without the powers allocated by law and the articles of association in relation to liquidation transactions allocated to the liquidator stated in the articles of association, by the general meeting or by the court. Where appropriate, the general meeting will determine the remuneration of the liquidators. The liquidation of the Company will be closed in accordance with the provisions of the Companies and Associations Code.
Distribution to the shareholders will not take place until after the meeting to close the liquidation.
Except in the event of a merger, the net assets of the Company, once all debts have been discharged or the sums necessary for that purpose have been set aside, will first be applied to repay all fully paid-up capital. Any balance will be distributed equally among all of the Company's shareholders in proportion to the number of shares they own.
For the execution of the articles of association, the sole director and any shareholder domiciled abroad, as well as any statutory auditor, director and liquidator, is deemed to elect domicile in Belgium. Failing this, such persons shall be deemed to have elected domicile at the Company's registered office, at which place all notices, summonses or official notifications may be validly served on them.
The holders of registered shares are required to notify the Company of any change to their place of domicile. If this is not the case, all notices, summonses or official notifications may be validly served to their last known place of domicile.
All disputes between the Company, its shareholders, bond holders, sole director, statutory auditors and liquidators relating to Company matters and in execution of these articles of association, will derive to the exclusive competence of the Company's registered office, except where the Company expressly waives such jurisdiction.
Any provisions of these articles of association that may be contrary to the provisions of the RREC legislation or any other applicable legislation shall be considered as not written. The nullity or any one article or part of an article in these articles of association will not affect the validity of the other statutory clauses (or parts thereof).
