Summary

Highlights Q1 2022

1. The EPRA earnings of Montea amounted to €15.0 million for the first 3 months of 2022, a similar level compared to the same period of 2021 (€15.4 million). In the first quarter of 2021, a one-off payment was recorded further to a waiver by Montea of a pre-emptive right in relation to the possible sale of a plot of land with buildings in Tilburg. Without taking into account the one-off payment received in 2021, the EPRA earnings grew by 11% compared to the same period in 2021.

2. The EPRA earnings per share for Q1 2022 amounted to €0.93 per share, comparable to the EPRA earnings per share for Q1 2021 (€0.96 per share). Without taking into account the one-off payment received in 2021, the EPRA earnings per share grew by 10% compared to the first 3 months of 2021.

3. Since the beginning of 2021, Montea has an identified3 investment volume of €400 million, with €301 million already realised and €99 million in execution. Montea is thus continuing the momentum of 2021 and is on track to realise the planned investment volume of €800 million over the period from 2021 to 2024 (inclusive). The investment volume of €400 million consists of a mix of:

  • standing investments; acquired in 2021 &Q1 2022 + acquisitions to be closed after Q1 2022 (ca. 50%)
  • development and extension projects; delivered and in execution at the end of Q1 2022 (ca. 30%)
  • land positions; acquired in 2021 and Q1 2022 (ca. 20%)

This at an average net initial yield of 5.6%, excluding land bank4 .

4. In the course of the first quarter of 2022, an additional portfolio volume of €176 million was realised. This increase consists of a realised investment volume of €128 million as well as latent capital gains of recently completed projects and revaluations of the existing portfolio for a total amount of €47 million. The revaluations of the existing portfolio were mainly driven by a further downward yield shift of 6 bps as well as an increase in estimated market rents of 1.6%. The fair value of the property portfolio including developments and solar panels increases to €1,874 million, an increase of 10% compared to the end of 2021 (€1,698 million).

5. This additional portfolio volume is being achieved partly thanks to new transactions that fit perfectly into the Track'24 growth plan pursuant to which Montea intends to continue its growth story:

  • Acquisition of a building let to Transuniverse Forwarding NV in Ghent (BE)
  • Acquisition of a building let to Barsan Groep in Tilburg (NL)
  • Acquisition of two buildings let to PostNL in Zwolle and 's Hertogenbosch (NL)
  • Acquisition of a new building project let to GVT Transport and Logistics in Alkmaar (NL)

In addition, the following projects were completed during the first quarter of 2022: the distribution centre in Waddinxveen (NL), leased for 10 years to HBM Machines B.V. and the cleantech recycling and distribution centre in Tiel (NL), leased for 20 years to Re-Match.

6. With a debt ratio of 41.1% on 31 March 2022, the consolidated balance sheet evidences a strong solvency. In addition, the property-related performance indicators also remain very firm. An occupancy rate of 98.8%, average remaining duration of the leases until the first termination option of 7.3 years (excluding solar panels), as well as a qualitative and diversified client portfolio, are all valuable assets.

7. Montea reaffirms the proposal to distribute a gross dividend of €3.03 per share in June 2022, based on a pay-out ratio of 80%.

3 The identified investment volume consists of the invested amount in the course of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 and projects in execution. 4 Including the land bank, the net initial yield amounts to 5.1%.

8. At the start of 2022, Steven Claes was appointed Chief Human Resources Officer. He joins the management team and will actively help develop the future HR policy, whereby the strategy and culture will continue to develop in the same direction.

9. Montea will invest heavily in reducing both the CO2 footprint of its existing portfolio (operational carbon) and that of its new development projects (embodied carbon). In this way, Montea strengthens its ambitions to take up a leadership position on the sustainability front.

  • 2) The occupancy rate is calculated on the basis of sqm. When calculating this occupancy rate, neither the numerator nor the denominator was taken into account for the unleased sqm intended for redevelopment and the land bank.
  • 3) Area 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, exclusive of 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. See annex 2.
  • 7) Financial result (exclusive of variations 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. See annex 2.
  • 8) EPRA earnings: this is the net result (after incorporation of the operating result before the portfolio result, less 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. See also annex 1.
  • 9) EPRA earnings per share refers to the EPRA earnings based on the weighted average number of shares. See also annex 1.

1.2 Status Track'24 (at portfolio level)

Since the beginning of 2021, Montea has an identified5 investment volume of over €400 million, with €301 million already realised and €99 million in execution. Montea expects to realise an average net initial yield of 5.6% on these identified investments, excluding land bank. Including the land bank, Montea expects the net initial yield to be 5.1%. Montea will continue the momentum of 2021 and is on track to realise the planned investment volume of €800 million over the period 2021 to 2024 (inclusive). These investments will consist of a mix of acquisition of land positions and leased warehouses, development and extension projects, and investments in solar panels.

1.2.1 Acquisitions

1.2.1.1 Overview of acquisitions6

In the course of the first quarter of 2022, a total acquisition volume of approximately €109 million was realised. All acquisitions were concluded at an investment value lower than or in line with the value determined by the independent property expert.

5 The identified investment volume consists of the invested amount in the course of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 and projects in execution.

Acquisition of buildings leased to PostNL, Zwolle and 's Hertogenbosch (NL)7

Early 2022, Montea reached an agreement with Urban Industrial for the acquisition of two buildings in 's Hertogenbosch and Zwolle, both currently leased to PostNL.

The acquisition in Zwolle concerns a site of 6 hectares with a footprint of approximately 29,000 m². The building in 's Hertogenbosch is a 5-hectare site with a footprint of approximately 24,000 m². Both buildings are strategically located at the entrance of the city and are therefore extremely suitable for e-commerce. Moreover, the presence of a lot of outdoor space offers the possibility to extend the site in case the current tenant would leave. Both buildings were purchased on 31/01/2022.

Acquisition of building from Barsan, Tilburg (NL)8

Acquisition of GVT building, Alkmaar (NL)9

In the beginning of February 2022, Montea reached agreement on three new-build projects in the Netherlands that GVT Transport and Logistics will lease for a period of 10 years. The first newbuild project was delivered during the first quarter of 2022 and is located in Alkmaar, an ideal location for fine-mesh distribution. The sites in Berkel and Rodenrijs and Echt will be completed and purchased during the second and third quarter of 2022 (cf. 1.2.1.2).

Montea expects to start developing the site in the course of 2023.

Acquisition of Transuniverse building, Ghent (BE)

In the course of the first quarter of 2022, Montea concluded an agreement with Transuniverse Forwarding NV on the takeover 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.

1.2.1.2 Overview of acquisitions to be completed after Q1 202210

Acquisition of GVT, Echt en Berkel and Rodenrijs buildings (NL)11

In the course of the second and third quarter of 2022, the two sites in Echt and Berkel and Rodenrijs, leased for a fixed period of 10 years to GVT Transport and Logistics, will be completed and delivered. Just like the site in Alkmaar, the sites offer an ideal location for fine-meshed distribution (cf. 1.2.1.1).

Structural cooperation with Cordeel, Tongeren (BE)18

At the end of 2021, Montea entered into a new structural cooperation arrangement with the Cordeel construction group and its real estate division C-living (hereinafter referred to as the "Cordeel Group"). Montea has become involved in current development projects of the Cordeel Group in Tongeren, Vilvoorde and Zele. Together with Montea, they will give the various sites, with a total site area of about 420,000 m², a new future.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Montea acquired, in a first phase, two sites of about 180,000 m² in Tongeren. On the first site, a first pre-

let (XPO Logistics) building of 20,000 m² was already developed in 2021 and the development of a second building of 20,000 m² was started:

Development phase 1 – second building on the 1st site (20,000m²):

  • o Purchase of land: Q4 2021
  • o Surface area: ca. 44.000 m²
  • o Surface of the distribution centre: ca. 20,000 m²
  • o Start of construction: Q4 2021
  • o Expected completion: Q4 2022
  • o Estimated investment budget for site + development: ca. € 24 million

1.2.2.3 Developments in the PV-portfolio

At the end of the first quarter in 2022, Montea's PV portfolio has a total capacity of ca. 43 MWp, good for a production of ca. 40,000 MWh, comparable to the energy consumption of ca. 11,500 households or an equivalent CO2 reduction of ca. 650 hectares of forest.

Projects expected to be completed in 202219

Montea has effectively equipped around 86% of all the roofs of its warehouses in Belgium with PV installations. The aim is to increase this percentage to 95%, the maximum technical capacity of the current portfolio. An investment budget of approximately €0.6 million has been budgeted for that purpose.

In the Netherlands, 61% of the portfolio of warehouses has already been fitted with solar panels. Montea aims to increase this percentage to 75% and foresees an investment budget of around €9 million. A delay is expected due to capacity problems with the electricity grid in the Netherlands.

Next to the Netherlands and Belgium, the installation of solar panels in France was started in the fourth quarter of 2021. An investment budget of approximately €4 million has been budgeted for that purpose.

1.2.3 Development potential – land bank

Just like at the end of 2021, Montea closed the first quarter of 2022 with a land reserve of ca. 2,000,000 m², a stable reserve to pursue its ambitions further in the years to come. During the first quarter of 2022, Montea was able to purchase approximately 80,000 m² of land that it already had under control (cf. 1.2.1.1). This concerns a development site located in Lembeek in Belgium of ca. 55,000 m² and three extension sites located in Tilburg, Zwolle and 's Hertogenbosch of ca. 24,000 m² in the Netherlands. In addition, in early 2022, a development was started in Tongeren (BE) of ca. 44,000 m² (cf. 1.2.2.2).

1.3.3 ESG Report20: Our sustainaibility strategy

Quality entrepreneurship and growth, with respect for the broad environment in which we operate, has always been part of Montea's DNA. Whereas 2020 was the year in which we first converted this DNA into a clear vision and sustainability strategy, 2021 was the year in which we received recognition for those efforts, with, among other things, a GRESB score that more than doubled and an EPRA sBPR Silver Award. It was also the year in which we fine-tuned our sustainability strategy based on new insights gained in the areas of Environment, Team and Governance.

1.3.3.1 Environment

Further fine-tuning of sustainability objectives 2030/2050

Montea developed its sustainability vision for the future through a strategic plan for 2030/2050, which was fine-tuned further in 2021. For example, it was decided to focus also on reducing the embodied carbon of the new developments. In addition, the ESG and corporate policies were updated in 2021 to reflect the ambitious sustainability strategy better. In this way, Montea strengths its ambitions to take up a leadership position on the sustainability front.

In essence, Montea's total greenhouse gas emissions consist of three components:

20 See press release of 15/04/2022 or www.montea.com for more information.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 17 / 46

Montea operations

Montea succeeded in making its own operations CO2-neutral in scope 1, 2 and 3 (employee mobility and scope 1 and 2 upstream emissions) by the end of 2021 through a combination of measures (e.g. purchase of 100% green electricity) and an offsetting mechanism set up by COշlogic.

Montea aims to be COշ-neutral without an offsetting mechanism by 2030

However, Montea also has enough sense of responsibility to realize that a CO2-neutral label for its own operations is insufficient. That is why it is important that Montea's ambitions extend beyond the carbon neutrality of its own operations, and that actions are also taken to reduce both the operational and embodied carbon of the portfolio.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 18 / 46

New developments

Montea wants to reduce the CO2 emissions (embodied carbon) of its new development projects by 55% by 2030 and make them Net-zero (neutral with offsetting) by 2050.

1. Energy efficient in new developments

In order to reduce both costs and greenhouse gas emissions from tenants, energy efficiency targets were also set for new development projects.

In order to meet these targets, a sustainable building guide for new development projects has been created with the introduction of the Blue label. The following items are now standard equipment in new construction projects:

  • LED lighting;
  • sustainable heat pumps for the entire building (no more connection to the gas network);
  • PV installation;
  • heat exchangers to reduce the amount of coolants;
  • recovery and reuse of water;
  • charging stations for electric vehicles;
  • light catchers that provide more natural light in the warehouses. These are linked to light detection, whereby the lighting is dimmed depending on the amount of natural light;
  • focus on a strong air-tightness of the buildings (check with blower-door test) through an adapted design of the loading docks;
  • a flower meadow around the building to promote biodiversity;
  • a monitoring system that maps all consumption ((rain) water, electricity, ...).

2. Embodied carbon in new development projects

Montea aims for all new development projects to have a maximum embodied carbon footprint of 216 kg COշe/m2 from 2025.

Target year Embodied Carbon
new developments
(kq CO 2 e/m 2 )
Reduction
2021 288 0%
2030 130 55%
2040 86 70%
2050 29 90%

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 19 / 46

76% of the embodied carbon of a building is determined by product choices. It therefore goes without saying that Montea is constantly looking for innovative, sustainable products (e.g., low-CO2 concrete) and construction methods. In addition, diesel is avoided on the sites, materials are transported by ship if possible, instead of by truck and cement water is recovered and treated on the site.

Existing portfolio

Montea helps its customers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (and costs) by improving energy performance and making it more sustainable. By 2050 Montea wants to make the existing portfolio Paris Proof (= net zero).

To underline our ambitions, we have signed the Paris Proof Commitment of the Dutch Green Building Council. This commits us to reducing the energy consumption in the portfolio and therefore also the related greenhouse gas emissions. We also registered our steep ambitions in the field of greenhouse gas emission reduction with the Science Based Targets initiative, an ambitious joint initiative of CDP, United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute and WWF. With the acceptance of our Science Based Targets, Montea belongs to a minority of participants whose targets have been approved.

1.3.3.2 Team (Social)

Montea wants to create value for its customers, shareholders and all other stakeholders. This is only possible through the unremitting efforts of our employees, the Monteaneers. They are at the heart of our organization. Respect, integrity and sustainability are in our DNA. For Montea it is crucial that employees feel valued and are given the space to develop their talents. To create an engaged team, Montea builds on the strengths of its people in all functional areas. Monteaneers are entrepreneurs, team players and fundamentally positive. Everyone at Montea is entitled to information, personal development and the right to express themselves.

The arrival of Steven Claes as its first Chief Human Resources will enable Montea to provide further sustainable support to the strong team that has been built up in recent years. Attention will be paid to:

  • Attraction and retention by strengthening the recruitment/onboarding strategy and procedure linked to our corporate and sustainability culture. Attracting and retaining the right diverse talent is essential to realising Montea's growth strategy.
  • Development by creating and investing in a culture of learnability, developing critical capabilities by focusing on hard and soft skills to meet the challenges of the future. All this complemented by resilience, business and performance coaching to both increase the quality of service to our customers and strengthen the economic and social performance of the business.
  • Health and engagement by rolling out an actionable wellbeing survey, rolling out a hybrid work model and fostering a work environment that inspires high levels of employee motivation and engagement that is aligned with intrinsic motivation.
  • Reward by encouraging (i) ownership of the company through employee share purchase plans, (ii) sustainability by focusing on electrification of the vehicle fleet and the hybrid working model and (iii) community focus through CSR initiatives and team building.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 21 / 46

In addition, Montea supports its employees to take an active role in socially relevant initiatives alongside their work. Employees are also involved in sharing their extensive expertise with as many partners and stakeholders as possible (e.g., the Montea Inspiration Days). In this context, Montea signed a cooperation agreement with The Shift, a platform of various organizations united around a common goal: actively moving towards a more sustainable economy and society, with Jo De Wolf as one of the directors of The Shift.

Montea also supports the next generation of professionals by, inter alia, supporting the Dennie Lockefeer Chair at Antwerp University (scientific research into the use of navigable inland waterways as a solution to mobility challenges) and by being a member of various other associations that focus on sustainability (BE-REIT association, Paris Proof, the Science Based Targets Initiative, the Green Deal Circular Building, etc.).

1.3.3.3 Governance

Montea strives for governance that is characterised by honesty and integrity, transparency, a sense of responsibility, strict ethics and compliance with legal regulations and corporate governance standards.

The most important Montea governance principles are set out in our policies, i.e. corporate governance charter, code of conduct, dealing code, remuneration policy and environmental policy. These policies were recently amended with a view to continuously improve governance within Montea in line with its ESG strategy. All these policies can be consulted on our website.

Montea aims for a culture in which equality, diversity and non-discrimination are central. Employee diversity ensures good dynamics and balanced decision-making and has already contributed greatly to Montea's growth.

Sufficient diversity is also sought within the board of directors. This not only includes diversity in terms of the gender of the directors, but also other criteria such as skills, experience and knowledge. After all, diversification contributes to more balanced decision-making, whereby decisions are taken by analysing them from different points of view. The background of the current members of the board of directors is very diverse with, amongst others, experience from the banking, pharmaceutical, postal and real estate sectors. The current members of the board of directors also have considerable knowledge of ESG-related issues thanks to their many years of experience (at C-level) in Belgian and international companies with a solid track record in ESG. At the level of the board of directors, the decision was also taken to increase the number of independent directors from three to four in 2021. With the appointment of Barbara De Saedeleer and Koen Van Gerven as independent directors, the number of independent directors on the board of directors rose from 44% to 57%.

Independent directors

Good corporate governance also implies that processes, procedures and policies are organized in a transparent and efficient manner and that adequate risk management procedures are implemented. A detailed management structure is essential in order to organize decision-making and the flow of information within the company. In this context, various specialized committees were set up within the board of directors:

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 22 / 46

the audit committee, remuneration and nomination committee, investment committee and sustainable executive committee. Each of these committees advises the board of directors on a regular basis in their respective fields, so that the board of directors can make well-founded decisions. As concerns risk management, Montea has identified the existing risks in all its processes and built in the necessary internal controls to limit exposure to these risks.

As part of its policy and decision-making structure, Montea also pays special attention to sustainability. For example, there are standardized procedures within Montea for deciding on new expenditure relating to maintenance, renovation or redevelopment work, both for buildings in the portfolio and for new investments. Investment proposals must substantiate how the amount to be invested fits within Montea's sustainability strategy. The sustainable executive committee examines whether the funds available within Montea's Green Finance Framework can be allocated to investment projects. Compliance with applicable ESG regulations and standards is a top priority for Montea and forms an integral part of our internal audit processes.

The members of the executive management and employees have a special responsibility to integrate Montea's corporate governance principles, sustainability vision and ESG objectives into their daily work. The Montea remuneration policy is also aligned with this objective as the variable remuneration of the executive management is partly linked to the achievement of two nonfinancial performance criteria:

  • the successful completion of an important step of the Montea 2030/2050 Plan;
  • the implementation of a qualitative HR management.

Recruitment of Chief Human Resources Officer

In February 2022 Steven Claes joined the Montea team as Chief Human Resources Officer. His arrival will give an extra boost to the social aspect of the ESG policy. As CHRO, Steven will further fine-tune the HR policy of the entire Montea group and make it future proof for the future growth of Montea and the team. Among other things, setting up a new welfare programme for employees is on his agenda, as well as optimizing existing evaluation processes and satisfaction surveys.

1.3.5 Developments concerning the Dutch REIT status

Application for FBI status for Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries

As concerns the realization of its real estate investments in the Netherlands, Montea, in September 2013, submitted a request for the application of the 'Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling' (FBI) regime (as referred to in Article 28 of the Corporate Tax Act of 1969) for Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries. Up to now, the company's Dutch subsidiary, Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries, has not yet received a final decision from the Dutch tax authorities in which the FBI status was approved.

In 2016, with reference to certain case law of the Dutch Supreme court, the Dutch tax authorities developed a new view in their policy concerning what the shareholder test should entail. As a shareholder of its FBI (foreign investment institution) subsidiary Montea Nederland N.V., the company would have to show that it can itself be considered as an FBI. Only in such case, in the view of the Dutch tax authorities, the company can be considered as a qualified shareholder under the FBI regime.

In this context, consultations are being held between the Dutch tax authorities, the Dutch Ministry of Finance and the company to see how this can be put into practice in concrete terms. In January 2020, the Ministry officially announced that this interpretation cannot be given concrete form for the time being, particularly because it depends on the outcome of ongoing lawsuits between the Dutch tax authorities and foreign investment funds regarding the refund of dividend tax, on which the Ministry does not wish to anticipate. Pursuant to the judgment of the European Court of Justice of 30 January 2020 (in the Köln-Aktienfonds Deka case), a foreign party that wishes to avail itself of the Dutch FBI regime must meet similar requirements. This must be interpreted in relation to the (underlying) purpose of the FBI requirements concerned. The Den Bosch Court of Appeal has also issued a judgement relevant for Montea. This judgment offers good starting points for Montea with regard to the requirements for the FBI regime. The Court of Appeal stated that only the domestic activities must be taken into account for a foreign entity.

Montea maintains ongoing constructive contacts with the Dutch tax authorities and the Dutch Ministry on the concrete application of the judgments already published and on the comparability of Montea with Dutch institutions having the FBI status. Such contacts are aimed to obtain FBI status for Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries.

Future of the FBI regime

Apart from this, the Dutch government is looking into whether an adjustment of the FBI regime in general and for real estate funds in particular is necessary, possible and feasible in the long run. Possible changes to the policy are not expected before 2023.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 24 / 46

Accounting treatment and financial impact up to 2020

Despite the fact that Montea does not yet have the approval of the Dutch tax administration for the FBI status, it has kept its accounts until the end of 2020 as if it already had the FBI status. After all, the Ministry has already indicated in the past that it will act within the framework of the general principles of good administration regarding the obtaining of a level playing field ('equal cases will be treated equally'). This is intended to ensure that Montea will not be treated worse by the Dutch tax authorities than other sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs with existing agreements concerning the FBI status.

Montea Nederland N.V.23 has taken the position in its corporate tax returns 2015 through 2020 that it qualifies for the FBI status as a result of which the corporate tax owed by it is zero. However, the Dutch inspector imposed (provisional) assessments for 2015 through 2020 based on the regular corporate tax rate. Given the applicable tax interest rate (in principle 8%), Montea has opted to pay these provisional assessments (being a total of € 11.7 million for these 6 years).

With respect to 2015, 2016 and 2017, Montea received final corporate income tax assessments (response period Dutch tax administration would expire for these years). Montea has filed objections against the final 2015, 2016 and 2017 assessments.

Montea also recorded the same total amount (€ 11.7 million) as a receivable in its accounts. If the FBI status is granted, this full amount will be repaid. If, however, the FBI status is refused, the assessments were rightly paid and the receivable will have to be written off which may have a material negative impact on Montea's profitability. Montea Nederland N.V.24 has complied with the distribution obligation under the FBI regime every year and has thus paid €2,3 million in dividend tax due for the period 2015-2020. Ex officio reduction requests were filed against the dividend tax remittances in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Objections have been lodged in relation to the dividend tax remittances in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The dividend tax may possibly be recovered if the FBI status would be refused. The total impact with respect to the years 2015 to 2020 would therefore amount to €9,4 million or €0.58 per share (16% of the EPRA earnings in 2021).

Accounting treatment and financial impact for 2021 and 2022

Despite the fact that Montea has not yet obtained approval from the Dutch tax authorities concerning FBI status, it has kept its accounts up to 2020 as if had already obtained said status. The basis for this can be found in the 'level playing field' principle with other sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs that already have agreements concerning the FBI status.

In line with new developments (withdrawal of tax ruling granted as of 1 January 2021 to sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs), Montea has, for the sake of prudence, taken into account in its 2021 forecasts the possibility that the FBI status could be refused for the period starting on 1 January 2021. A provision of €4 million was consequently included in the outlook of 2021 via the income statement, i.e. the difference between the fiscally transparent FBI status and the regular taxed sphere.

As such, a tax provision of €4.0 million was recorded in the 2021 income statement, i.e. the difference between the tax status of FBI and the regular taxed sphere. In the income statement of the first quarter of 2022, an impact of €0.8 million was recorded, i.e. the difference between the FBI tax status and the regulation taxed sphere.

Supported by European law, however, Montea's efforts remain focused on being able to apply the FBI status in the Netherlands as of 2021. The tax returns for 2021 and 2022 will therefore be filed as FBI since Montea continues to believe that it fulfils all the conditions to be able to claim FBI status.

  • 24 And its Dutch subsidiaries.

1.4.2 Notes to the condensed consolidated (analytical) income statement

Net rental result

The net rental result amounted to €20.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, up by 8% (or €1.6 million) compared to the same period in 2021 (€19.1 million). This increase is due mainly to the acquisition of new properties, leased land and completed projects, which generate additional rental income. With an unchanged portfolio (and therefore excluding new acquisitions, sales and project developments between both comparative periods), the level of rental income increased by 2.4%, mainly driven by indexation of rental contracts (1.7%) and the reletting of vacant units in the building in Aalst (Belgium) and Le Mesnil-Amelot (France) (0.7%).

Property result

The property result amounted to €21.9 million, a similar level compared to the same period of 2021 (€22.0 million). The increase of the net rental result with €1.6 million in 2022 is offset by a decrease in other rental-related income compared to 2021, which included a one-off payment. If this one-off payment is not taken into account, the property result grew by 9% compared to the same period in 2021.

Operating result before the result on the property portfolio

The property expenses, overheads and other operating income and expenses, which are part of the operating result before result on property portfolio, increased slightly by €0.3 million in the first 3 months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. This is due to the growth of the portfolio. As the property result remained stable, this movement causes a decrease in the operational property result for the result on portfolio of €0.4 million or 2% compared to the same period last year (from €19.5 million in 2021 to €19.1 million in 2022). Without taking into account the aforementioned one-off payment, an increase of 9% would be recorded.

The operating and exploitation margin 25 amounted to 87.4% for the first 3 months of 2022, compared to 88.8% for the first 3 months of 2021. If the one-off payment received in 2021 is not taken into account, the operating margin remains at a similar level compared to the same period in 2021 (87.7%).

Financial result

The financial result excluding changes in fair value of the hedging instruments amounted to €-3.1 million compared to €-2.8 million in the same period last year, an increase of 11% (€-0.3 million), which is mainly caused by a higher debt taken up during 2022 to finance the investments made during the first quarter of 2022.

The total financial debt (including bond loans and leasing debts, including the recurring cost of land in concession) is covered for 95.6% as at 31 March 2022.

The average financing cost,26 calculated on the basis of the average financial debt, stands at 1.8% at the end of the first 3 months of the financial year 2022 compared to 2.2% at the end of the first 3 months of the financial year 2021.

25 The operating and exploitation margin is obtained by dividing the operating result before the result on the property portfolio by the property result. 26 This financial expense 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.

Taxes

Despite the fact that Montea does not yet have the approval of the Dutch tax administration with regard to the FBI status, it conducted its accounts up to and including 2020 as if it had already obtained the FBI 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 the possibility that the FBI status could be refused for the period as of 1 January 2021. In this sense, a tax provision of €0.8 million was included in the income statement for the first 3 months of 2022, 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 as of 2021. The 2021 tax return has therefore been filed as FBI since Montea continues to believe that it meets all the conditions for claiming FBI status.

EPRA earnings

The EPRA earnings amounted to €15.0 million in Q1 2022, a similar level compared to the same period in 2021 (€15.4 million). The slight decrease is due to the one-off payment included in Q1 2021. Without taking this payment into account, the EPRA earnings would increase by 11%. This increase in the EPRA earnings is mainly due to the strong growth of the property portfolio whereby operational and financial costs are closely monitored and managed as such.

The EPRA earnings per share for Q1 2022 amounted to €0.93, comparable to the EPRA earnings per share for Q1 2021 (€0.96). Without the one-off payment, the EPRA earnings per share grew by 10% compared to the first 3 months of 2021.

Result on the property portfolio27

The result on the property portfolio for the first 3 months of 2022 amounted to €41.2 million compared to €64.1 million for the same period last year. This decrease is mainly linked to the downward yield shift of 6 bps in Q1 2022 compared to a yield shift decrease of 68 bps in Q1 2021. The decrease is partly offset (€6.8 million) by a decrease in the provision for deferred taxes on the Dutch portfolio result, which was initially accrued in the first quarter of 2022, based on a principle of prudence (FBI status not obtained, see section on 'Taxes').

The result on the property portfolio is not a cash item and does not impact the EPRA earnings in any way.

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments

The positive change in the fair value of financial instruments amounted to €22.6 million or €1.39 per share at the end of the first quarter in 2022, compared to a change of €5.4 million at the end of the first quarter in 2021. The positive impact of €17.2 million arises from the change in the fair value of the interest rate hedges concluded at the end of March 2022 as a result of rising long-term interest rates in the course of the first quarter of 2022.

The changes in the fair value of financial instruments are not a cash item and do not impact the EPRA earnings in any way.

27 The result on the property portfolio is the negative and/or positive change in the fair value of the property portfolio + any loss or gain resulting from the realization of property, taking into account any deferred taxes.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 28 / 46

Net result (IFRS)

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 in the first quarter of 2022 (€78.8 million) is up by €0.7 million or 1% compared to the previous year.

The net result (IFRS) per share 28 amounted to €4.86 compared to €4.87 per share in 2021.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m. 32 / 46

  • Other liabilities:
  • a current lease liability of €49.0 million, mainly formed by the recognition of a lease liability relating to the concession land (entry into force of IFRS 16) and, on the other hand, for the financing of the solar panels on the Aalst site;
  • the negative value of current hedging instruments amounting to €3.8 million;
  • €27.1 million in deferred taxes; and

The weighted average maturity of the financial debts (credit lines, bond loans and leasing obligations) amounts to 5.7 years as at 31 March 2022, which remains stable compared to 31 December 2021 (5.7 years)

The weighted average maturity of interest rate hedges was 6.8 years at the end of March 2022. The hedge ratio, which represents the percentage of financial liabilities with a fixed interest rate or with a floating interest rate subsequently hedged by a hedging instrument, amounted to 95.6% at the end of March 2022.

The Interest Coverage Ratio was equal to 6.2x in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 7.0x for the same period last year. Montea thus amply meets the covenants on the interest coverage ratio that it has concluded with its financial institutions.

The average financing cost of the debts was 1.8% for the first quarter of 2022 (compared to 2.2% for the same period last year).

Montea's debt ratio30 amounted to 41.1% at the end of March 2022 (compared with 36.3% at the end of March 2021).

Montea complies with all debt ratio covenants it has entered into with its financial institutions, under which Montea may not have a debt ratio higher than 60%.

30 Calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate companies.

29 Accruals and deferred income largely comprise rent already invoiced in advance for the following quarter.

1.5 Important events after 31/03/2022

Disposal of own shares31

2 Outlook

2.1 Outlook 2022

Result-related targets in line with Track'24

Montea has adjusted its result-related targets for 2022:

  • Growth of the EPRA earnings per share to €4.00 (increase of 7% compared to 2021)
  • Growth of dividend per share to €3.23 (increase of 7% compared to 2021)
  • Realisation of an investment volume of ca. €300 million in 2022

Maintaining strong fundamentals

Montea aims to maintain its strong fundamentals in 2022 and will stick to its strategy of subjecting its portfolio to continuous arbitrage. This strategy results in exceptional property-related performance indicators such as occupancy rate (98.8% as at 31/03/2022) and average remaining duration of the leases until the first termination option (7.3 years as at 31/03/2022). Thanks to its focus on the type of client and their activity (such as the health care sector, recycling sector, etc.) as well as on strategic locations with high added value (such as airports, water locations, etc.), Montea has succeeded in optimally extending its real estate portfolio. As a result, Montea expects to maintain the occupancy rate at least above 97% and to maintain stable payment behaviour on the part of its customers. At present, Montea has received 99.9% of the rents for Q1 2022. Of the due rental invoices of April 2022 (for monthly rents) and Q2 2022 (for quarterly rents), Montea has already collected 99.8%.

Press Release: Interim Statement – Regulated information Embargo until 12/05/2022 – 7:00 a.m.

Macro-economic and geopolitical situation

The armed conflict in Ukraine, which started in February 2022, is leading to increased uncertainty and market volatility in the macroeconomic and geopolitical outlook. Montea is already experiencing an impact at various levels: an increase in the cost price of raw and building materials, disruption in the supply chain, which could jeopardize the timing of projects, and an increase in interest rates.

Wherever possible, risks are covered by proactive monitoring of projects in progress (timing and budget), by taking rising construction costs into account in rental contracts and by covering credit lines and bond loans at variable interest rates.

On the other hand, the importance of logistics can be expected to increase due to important trends such as near-shoring, the creation of strategic inventories and the further growth of the e-commerce sector. Given the scarcity of land in the various markets, upward pressure on market rents can be expected.

Sustainability

Montea launched its first ESG report in the course of 2021, with the primary objective of continuing to bring its expertise in logistics real estate to bear so as to make sustainable, long-term investments with added value for clients, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. In 2021, Montea succeeded in making its own operations carbon-neutral by means of compensation.

In 2022, Montea will continue at this pace, with efforts to reduce its CO2 emissions further (stimulating public transport, electric cars, etc.), as well as to improve energy efficiency and continue to use renewable energy sources (such as solar panels and heat pump applications).

In addition, Montea will also place greater focus on the social aspect of sustainability in 2022. Montea is ambitious with Track'24 and wants to attract the necessary additional employees for this, as well as focusing on the well-being and further development of its current employees. At the start of 2022, Chief Human Resources Officer Steven Claes will join the management team, who will actively help to develop the futureoriented HR policy, with the strategy and culture continuing to evolve in the same direction.

Some of the concrete initiatives in Montea in 2022 include the launch of a well-being programme for its employees, creating a communication tool that brings all the countries together and stimulates communication between the teams in the various branches. Furthermore, Montea will upgrade the performance and satisfaction process for employees, for example by organizing the satisfaction survey annually with the necessary feedback, as well as by developing the existing feedback moments further so that people can continue to grow.

2.2 Track'24

Ambitious portfolio growth

In 2021, Montea proposed Track'24, intended to achieve its envisaged ambitions in the years 2021 to 2024. Over a four-year period, Montea aims to realise an investment volume growth of € 800 million.

The focus will be on sustainable and versatile logistics real estate:

  • Strategic top locations
  • Multimodal sites
  • Multifunctional buildings
  • Best use of space brown field and grey field redevelopment

Eye on the long-term profitability

Based on Montea's strong financial basis, its low debt ratio and its high occupancy rate at its sites, Montea's ambition for 2024 is to achieve

  • growth of the EPRA earnings per share to € 4.30
  • (> 20% increase compared to 2020)
  • increase of the dividend per share to € 3.45
  • (> 20% increase compared to 2020)

Montea is more than ever ready to attain its ambitions. With more than € 400 million in identified projects, € 301 million already completed and € 99 million in execution, many new projects in the pipeline, an ample land bank of some 2,000,000 m² and professional teams in the four countries where it operates, Montea can offer an answer to the strong market demand. These factors will form the basis for the implementation of Track'24.

Focus on sustainability

Montea aspires to reduce the COշ emissions from its own operations by 50% by the end of 2024 – in line with the 2030 target, i.e. full COշ neutrality without compensation.

Montea aspires to reduce the COշ emissions from its buildings by 20% by the end of 2024 – in line with the 2050 target, i.e. to bring the emissions in line with the targets of the Paris climate conference (Paris Proof).

Annexes

ANNEX 1: EPRA Performance measures

A) EPRA earnings – EPRA earnings per share

The EPRA earnings per share are the EPRA earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares for the financial year.
  • Purpose: The EPRA earnings measure the operational profitability of the company after the financial result and after taxes on the operational result. The EPRA earnings measure the net result from the core activities per share.

B) EPRA NAVs – EPRA NAVs per share

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. De EPRA NAV indicators per share are calculated based on the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. The three different EPRA NAV indicators are calculated on the basis of the following scenarios:

Net Reinstatement Value: 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.

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 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 the realization of deferred taxes, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments. This NAV should not be considered a liquidation NAV as in many cases the fair value is not equal to the liquidation value.

C) EPRA rental vacancy rate

  • Definition: The EPRA vacancy corresponds to the complement of "Occupancy rate" with the difference that the occupancy rate used by Montea is calculated on the basis of square metres whereas the EPRA vacancy is calculated on the basis of the estimated rental value.
  • Purpose: The EPRA vacancy measures the vacancy percentage as a function of the estimated value without taking account of non-rentable m², intended for redevelopment, and of the land bank.
