Aalst, 6th November 2014

Today, Montea (MONT) today published its consolidated results for the period from 1st July 2014 to 30th September 2014 inclusive.

Summary

• Montea's net operating profit for the period 01/07/2014 – 30/09/2014 amounts to EUR 3.80 million (EUR 0.43 per share), an increase of 13.1% in comparison with EUR 3.36 million in the same period last year (EUR 0.51 per share) 1 .

This 13.1% rise was the result of the increase in the property result before the result on the property portfolio (operating margin) of 14.5% and the rise in the net negative financial result of 15.1%.

The operating margin rose to 88.9% for the third quarter. This brings the total operating margin for the first 9 months of the financial year to 85.9%. Montea is well on the way to achieving its operating margin of 85% for the whole year.

During the third quarter of 2014, the average debt burden rose by EUR 11.7 million (+8%), while the net negative financial result increased by EUR 0.25 million (+15%). This higher rise in the financial burden results from the issue of two bond loans with an average higher financial cost and the higher hedging percentage on the variable lines of credit (as a result of the capital raising carried out on 24/6/2014).

The target remains to have an average total financial cost of under 4.00% for the whole of the 2014 financial year.

• The fair value of the property portfolio amounts to EUR 375.7 million, an increase of EUR 56.2 million (+17.6%) compared with 31/12/2013. This rise was mainly the result of the investment of EUR 15.4 million in Belgium and EUR 39.3 million in the Netherlands.

By 31/12/2014, the fair value of the property portfolio will further rise to approximately EUR 427 million as the result of four additional investments on the one hand:

  • (i) site Dachser in Willebroek (BE)
  • (ii) site Neovia Logistics in Willebroek (BE)
  • (iii) site Nippon Express Belgium in Zaventem Brucargo (BE)
  • (iv) site Depa Disposables in Beuningen (the Netherlands)

and the further development of three build-to-suit projects in Belgium and the Netherlands:

  • (i) Vos Logistics site in Oss (NL) handover 1/10/2014
  • (ii) Caterpillar site in Grimbergen (BE) handover 1/10/2014
  • (iii) DocMorris site in Heerlen (NL) handover Q1-2015

The occupancy rate amounts to 96.0%. This increase of the occupancy rate compared with the previous quarter is due to the leasing of 14,000 m² at the site in Nijvel.

The average lease term amounts to 6.2 years (until the first break).

  • The debt ratio amounts to 47.2%. Per 31/12/2014 the debt ratio will amount to approximately 54% by further debt financing of the investment pipeline.
  • Montea expects to have a net operating result of EUR 14.9 million for financial year 2014, a rise of approximately 10.2% compared with the financial year 2013.

1 This increase in the net operating result results in a decrease in the net operating result per share, largely as a result of the capital increase of 24 June 2014.

  • 2. Evolution, events and transactions during the third quarter of 2014 in Belgium, the Netherlands and France
  • 2.1. Net operating result2 amounts to EUR 3.80 million (EUR 0.43 per share), an increase of 13.1% compared with the same period last year - Montea is on course to achieve a net operating result of EUR 14.9 million (+10.2%)

The net operating result for the third quarter 2014 amounts to EUR 3.80 million (EUR 0.43 per share), which is an increase of 13.1% (+EUR 0.44 million) compared with EUR 3.36 million during the same period last year (EUR 0.51 per share)3 .

This growth of EUR 0.44 million is the result of the EUR 0.73 million rise in the operating property result before the result on the portfolio. This was due mainly to the EUR 0.48 million increase in the net rental result, as well as the rise in the operating margin to 88.9% and the net negative financial result, up by EUR 0.25 million.

Based on the result for the third quarter of EUR 3.80 million, in addition to the forthcoming net earnings from the projects purchased and taking account of an estimate of the possible extension of certain leases, as well as the leasing of the existing vacancies, Montea is on course to achieve a net operating result of approximately EUR 14.9 million (+10.2%).

2.2. Investment activities during the third quarter of 2014

No investments were conducted during the third quarter of 2014.

2.3. Development activities during the third quarter of 2014

Build-to-Suit project for DocMorris of approx. 14,800 m² at business park in Heerlen (NL)

Montea and Bouwbedrijf L. van de Ven / Korund have developed a build-to-suit project of approximately 14,800 m² for DocMorris, market leader in the sale of pharmaceutical products by mail order. The site is located at the European Business Park Avantis in Heerlen, on the border between the Netherlands and Germany. The site will comply with the strict standards required for storing pharmaceutical goods and will consist of approximately 7,750 m² of warehousing (which can be expanded), a mezzanine of around 1,750 m² and some 5,300 m² of office space, as well as 390 parking spaces.

2 Net result excludes the result on the property portfolio (codes XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX of the profit-and-loss account). It also excludes

the variation in the fair value of the rate hedging instruments (code XXIII of the profit-and-loss account). 3 This rise in the net current result leads to a decrease in the net current result per share. This is mainly due to the capital raising operation.

  • 4.1.2. Notes to the abbreviated consolidated profit-and-loss account (analytical) for the third quarter ending on 30/09/2014
  • The net rental result amounts to EUR 6.45 million (+8.0%) – Increase in the operating result before the result on the property portfolio (+14.5%) – Operating margin amounts to 88.9% for the third quarter 2014

The net rental result amounts to EUR 6.45 million, a rise of 8.0% compared with the same period in 2013 (EUR 5.98 million). This increase of EUR 0.48 million was mainly due to:

  • the increase in rental income, totalling EUR 0.65 million;
  • the increase in the concession fees of EUR 0.17 million.

The operating result before the result on the property portfolio (operating margin) rose from EUR 5.01 million last year to EUR 5.74 million at 30/09/2014. This rise of 14.5% in the operating result before the result on the property portfolio of EUR 0.73 million was mainly the result of:

  • the increase in the net rental result of EUR 0.48 million (see above);
  • the higher occupancy rate, meaning that more costs can be passed on to tenants.

The operating margin6 amounts to 88.9% compared with 83.8% during the same period last year. The decrease of the operating margin was the result of the lower vacancy rate and the less increase in the company's general operating overheads compared with the growth of the property portfolio. The operating margin for the first nine months was 85.3%. Montea is well on the way to achieving its operating margin of 85% for the whole of 2014.

The financial result (excluding the valuation of the hedging) was EUR -1.89 million, a rise of 15.1% compared with the same period last year, and was strongly determined by the higher financial debt level

The financial result at 30/09/2014 amounts to EUR -1.89 million, an increase of 15.1% compared with the same period last year (EUR -1.64 million). This increase in the financial burden is attributable on the one hand to the increase in the average debt by EUR 11.7 million (8.0%) and also to the higher average financial cost as the result of issuing two bond loans in 2013 and 2014 and the higher hedging percentage on the variable lines of credit.

In the third quarter of 2014, Montea proceeded with the further restructuring of its hedging instruments, under which approximately 75% of the variable lines of credit are again covered by hedging instruments.

The non-cash result of EUR -3.37 million was determined mainly by the negative variation in the valuation of the hedging instruments (EUR -2.89 million)

The non-cash result amounts to EUR -3.37 million for the third quarter, determined by the EUR -2.89 million negative variation in the valuation of the hedging instruments.

The negative variation in the valuation of the property portfolio was the result of replacement investments and renovation works at existing sites, mainly in Belgium.

The net result amounts to EUR 0.43 million. In addition to the net operating result of EUR 3.80 million, this was strongly determined by the negative variation in the valuation of the hedging instruments

The net result for the third quarter amounts to EUR 0.43 million (EUR 0.05 per share) compared with EUR 1.71 million for the same period in 2013. The variation in the net result was determined to a large extent by the non-cash result (last year in the third quarter, there was a positive variation in the valuation of the hedging instruments of EUR 0.1 million. By contrast, in the third quarter of 2014, there was a EUR -2.89 million negative variation in the valuation of the hedging instruments.

6 The operating result before the result on the property portfolio compared with the net rental result.

Net operating result of EUR 0.43 per share

The net operating result for the third quarter amounts to EUR 3.80 million, which is an increase of 13.1% compared with the same period last year.

The net operating result per share amounts to EUR 0.43 – a decrease of 14.9% compared with last year. This was due to 1,945,416 additional shares being issued as a result of the capital increase of 24 June 2014.

Taking the result for the third quarter into account, the net operating result for the full nine months amounts to EUR 10.71 million (EUR 2.04 per share7 ). For the 2014 financial year, Montea expects a rise in the net operating result of approximately 10.2% to EUR 14.9 million (EUR 1.93 per share).

  • The debt ratio8 amounts to 47.2%. The variation in the debt ratio compared with 31/12/2013 (52.8%) is largely attributable to the capital raising of 24 June 2014 of EUR 53 million, which enabled Montea to settle part of its financial debts.
  • Montea also complies with all covenants in terms of the debt ratio agreed upon with its financial institutions, on the basis of which Montea's debt ratio cannot exceed 60%.
  • The net asset value at 30/9/2014 amounts to EUR 20.60 per share, but this figure is also largely influenced by the negative variation in the fair value of the hedging instruments. Excluding the net negative variation in the fair value of the hedging instruments (IAS 39), the net asset value amounts to EUR 23.13 per share.

When the share price of EUR 32.45 at 30/09/2014 is taken into account, the premium amounts to 40.3% compared with the net asset value, adjusted with the negative variation in the fair value of the hedging instruments.
