20 This aabbreviated consolidated profit-and-loss account takes account of the one-off provision of EUR 1.2 million for the financial year 2011 (for more information we refer to section 2.2.1) and 5,634,126 shares entitled to share in the result of the financial year 2011 (for more information we refer to footnote 3).
The net lease result was EUR 19.93 million (+3.4%) – Increase in operating result before the result on the property portfolio (+6.7%)
The net rental result was EUR 19.93 million, an increase of 3.4% compared with the same period in 2011 (EUR 19.28 million). This increase of EUR 0.65 million is attributable mainly to:
The operating result before the result on the property portfolio rose from EUR 15.71 million in the previous year to EUR 16.76 on 31/12/2012. This increase in the operating result before the result on the property portfolio (+6.7%) was mainly the result of:
The operating margin was21 84.1% for the whole of 2012, compared with 81.5% during the same period in the previous year.
21 The operating result for the result on the property portfolio compared with the net rental income.
The investments made in Montea's structure during 2011 and 2012 (strengthening the team in Belgium and setting up the operating structure in France) are now beginning to bear fruit. As a result, Montea is on the way in the short term to achieving its proposed operating margin of >85%.
The financial result at 31/12/2012 was EUR -5.47 million, a slight rise of +0.8% compared with the same period in the previous year (EUR -5.42 million). Debt rose by EUR +22.66 million. On the other hand, average financial costs (in %) fell during the year from 4.35% to 3.84%22. As a result of the fact that the lower financial costs offset the higher level of debt, total financial charges only rose by EUR +0.05 million.
The reduction in financial costs (in %) was the result of:
The result on the property portfolio was EUR -6.33 million at 31/12/2012. This negative result can be attributed to:
With regard to the valuation of the solar panels, gains are recorded in a separate component of equity capitals. Losses are also included in this component, except if they are realised or if the fair value falls below the original cost.
22 The financial cost is an average over the year, including the leasing debts in France and Belgium. It was calculated based on the total financial cost compared to the average of the opening and closing balance of the debt in 2011.
The result on hedging instruments was EUR -8.02 million at 31/12/2012. This negative result can be attributed to the further fall in long-term interest rates during 2012.
By way of information: the rate for a 5-year IRS instrument was 1.57% at 31/12/2011 and fell further to 0.90% by the end of 2012.
The net result at 31/12/2012 was EUR -3.11 million (EUR -0.55 per share) compared with EUR -0.29 million for the same period in 2011. The result for this year was significantly affected by the negative movement in the fair value of the property portfolio (EUR -6.33 million) and the negative change in the value of the hedging instruments (EUR -8.02 million). These two negative variations are not cash charges and have no impact at all on the net operating result.
The net operating result at 31/12/2012 was EUR +11.25 million, which was an increase of +9.8% compared with the same period in the previous year. The distributable profit was EUR +11.33 million.
Based on the distributable profit, Montea will propose a dividend of EUR 1.93 per share to the general meeting of shareholders, which is an increase of 5% in relation to the dividend of the previous year.
Montea's Board of Directors will also propose proceeding with the optional dividend to the general meeting of shareholders.

Based on the closing price on 31/12/2012 (EUR 28.40), Montea shares were 28.1% above the value of the net assets per share (excl. IAS39).
2012 was marked mainly by the economic and financial crisis. Taking into account the closing price on 31/12/2012, Montea shares rose by 15.8% during what was a difficult year (6.8% when the average price over 2012 and 2011 is taken into account).
Montea's Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting of Shareholders to pay a dividend of EUR 1.93 per share, as well as offering an optional dividend.
There were no significant events after 31/12/2012.
In 2006 the company entered into certain agreements designed to generate revenue from certain buildings by way of a merger or other transaction. These agreements were subject to a number of suspensive conditions, principally in relation to compliance with planning requirements, the terms of which had to be met before 31st March 2007.
Montea has previously mentioned the fact that a third party served Montea with a writ in 2008 because that party believed it was entitled to the revenue, by way of a merger or other transaction, from certain buildings. Montea had refused to provide this revenue because, based on a number of objective elements, it was of the opinion that the terms of the contract had not been complied with. Thereupon, the party in question lodged a claim against Montea for compensation for EUR 5.4 million. Montea believes that this claim is without grounds.
In its ruling of 28th April 2009, the Commercial Tribunal in Brussels found in favour of Montea. However in the ruling of 21st February 2012, received by Montea on 29th February 2012, the Court of Appeal in Brussels found partly in favour of the opposing party and awarded it compensation of EUR 961,000 in principal. Given that this ruling was enforceable, Montea proceeded to make payment.
Following a decision taken by Montea's Board of Directors, an appeal has been lodged in cassation. A ruling by the Court of Cassation is expected by the end of 2013 or the beginning of 2014.
On 1st June 2010, Montea sold a property for EUR 4.2 million. According to the buyer, there were hidden defects involved with the sale.
The buyer is claiming an amount of EUR 1.4 million, plus judicial interest from the summons of 13/12/2011, litigation costs of EUR 16,500 plus costs, cause list fees and EUR 263.45 in summons costs. The hearing is set down for 5/02/2013. The parties have agreed to defer this hearing and settle the matter out of court.
As a result, and based on the principle of caution, Montea has set aside a provision of EUR 0.1 million in the result in the figures for 2012 (see section on result on the property portfolio).
There were no transactions between affiliated parties in 2012.
Montea's management and Board of Directors keep a constant watch on the risks facing the company. For this reason, management has outlined a policy of caution, which can be adjusted if necessary24. This report contains a non-exhaustive list of the risks known. There may, however, be other unknown and/or unlikely risks that may have an unfavourable effect on Montea's business and financial situation.
The principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining months of the financial year are focused on:
Given the nature of the buildings that are leased mainly to national and international companies, the property portfolio to a certain extent is sensitive to the economic climate. No direct risks have been identified in the short term that may have any fundamental effect on the 2012 financial year.
Montea maintains and refurbishes its buildings on a regular basis so that they remain attractive for tenants. The current trend towards sustainability and energy-savings, both in the construction and use of the buildings, may involve additional investment costs.
In view of the persistently difficult economic situation and the fact that movements in the value of buildings depend to a large extent on the rental situation (occupancy rate, rental income, etc.), a certain degree of uncertainty remains about future movements in value of Montea's buildings.
Nevertheless, Montea is currently subjecting each building to a detailed "Lifecycle" analysis, which focuses on the sustainable growth in value. If this analysis shows that no long-term value can be created, these premises will be added to the list for divestment.
The company's property assets are valued on a quarterly basis by an independent real estate assessor. A fluctuation in value of 1% in the property assets has an impact of around EUR 2.8 million on the net result and EUR 0.43 on the intrinsic value per share. It would also have an impact of approximately 0.47% on the level of debt.
Montea is exposed to the risk that its tenants are unable to fulfil their obligations. There are clear and efficient internal control mechanisms in place in this area within Montea, designed to limit this risk.
All rental payments are made in advance and all tenants are required to lodge a bank guarantee equivalent to at least three months' rent.
24 For more information about Montea's strategy, please refer to the annual report. Montea's policy will, if necessary, be adjusted as a function of the risk factors described.
Diversifying in terms of sources of finance and having stable banking relationships, as well as an evenly balanced spread of credit due dates over time, helps to promote suitable financial conditions. When entering into agreements with external funding sources, Montea is also limited by the maximum debt ratio that the regulations allow on property trusts and by the loan-to-value covenants agreed to with its banks in the credit documentation. At 31th December 2012, Montea's debt ratio was 51.35%, calculated according to the property trust system and comfortably below the maximum ratio set of 65%.
Montea's maximum debt ratio, agreed with its banks, is 60%. The company has a medium-term financial plan that is adjusted every year, as well as during the year should any significant property acquisition or sale occurs. More specifically, this plan aims at defining an appropriate level for Montea's regulatory consolidated debt ratio.
Based on this debt, Montea has an investment capacity of approximately EUR 25 million to reach a debt ratio of 55%.
Montea enters into all of its financial debts at a variable rate of interest. To hedge its financing costs against interest rate rises, the company has derivative instruments in place. More specifically, these instruments include Interest Rate Swaps.
Based on existing hedging instruments and a constant level of debt, a rise of fall in interest rate by 100bps would entail a change in the financial cost of EUR 0.3 million per year. Montea constantly monitors the evolution of the interest rates in order to reduce the financial cost.
These derivative instruments on interest rates are valued at the end of each quarter. This means that any future movements in rates will have an impact on the value of net assets, as well as on the result for the period.
These derivative instruments on interest rates are valued at the end of each quarter. This means that any future movements in rates will have an impact on the value of net assets, as well as on the result for the period.
Montea's business is affected partly by the overall economic climate. Lower economic growth can have an indirect effect on occupancy rates and rental income. It can also increase the risk that some tenants may not be able to fulfil their obligations under their lease.
For Montea, this risk is offset to some extent by the diversification of its revenue streams (e.g. solar panels), as well as its geographical diversification (Belgium and France) and the signing of leases for longer terms with high-quality clients from a range of different sectors.
• Occupancy rate
At 31/12/2012 the occupancy rate was 96.3%.
After the year-end, the following matter have had an impact on the occupancy rate:
During the year 2013 Montea is not expecting additional vacancy.
Montea achieves to keep its occupancy rate at 95%.
• Net operating result
In 2012 Montea had a net operating result of EUR 2.00 per share. Based on these results, taking account of the full-year impact of the investments made in 2012, the investments and divestments already announced for 2013 and an estimate of the reletting of the vacant space, Montea expects as a minimum to match the net operating result for the previous year.
• Investment capacity of EUR 25 million at a debt ratio of 55%.
Taking a debt ratio of 55% into account, Montea still has an investment capability of EUR 25 million. This investment capability will generate an approximate annual net yield of EUR 0.15 per share.
Take into account the aforementioned additional investments, as well as the rental activity, Montea expects to increase its net operating result per share by 5%.
In addition, Montea also intends to grow further based on its existing investment pipeline. For the additional funding required for these projects, Montea is currently investigating various financing opportunities.
As a benchmark player in the logistics and semi-industrial property sector, Montea makes every effort to conduct itself as a socially responsible company. For this reason, Montea is involved in an ongoing improvement process in which economic, environmental and social considerations are systematically taken into account in the way the business is conducted on a day-to-day basis. Montea aims not only to comply with statutory requirements, but through its initiatives and actions, seeks to go further than the legislation in effect.
Montea's management is convinced that taking a responsible approach to these activities is a decisive factor in the company's sustainability.
Montea's most important values are focused on:
Montea applies the following principles based on these values:
Montea has implemented, together with its outside specialists, its own "Blue Label". The plan encompasses Montea's overall approach with regard to sustainability, both for its existing portfolio and for new investments.
There are various standards worldwide in relation to sustainability for the property sector. The best known of these are: HQE (France), BREEAM (UK standard) and LEED (US standard). Montea has included the most important standards in its "Blue Label" plan.
As a responsible company, Montea is well aware of the potential consequences of its business activities for the environment in the broad sense of the word and as such it subscribes to targets in relation to sustainable development.
The Company undertakes to manage its property assets with respect for the following aspects:
Montea has developed a rational policy aimed at optimising the use of energy.
In 2012, the programme regarding energy scans was further optimised, along with the implementation of Life Cycle Analyses. On the basis of these detailed analyses and additional energy calculations a complete study was performed for the sites in Mechelen and Puurs.
This study enabled Montea to draw up a full investment programme with these items:
With this in-depth study Montea confirms its focus on optimising the sustainability and quality of its real estate portfolio.
In 2012, Montea also took the initiative to equip the sites at Erembodegem, Mechelen, Milmort and Heppignies with a monitoring system. This monitoring enables Montea to monitor its energy management closely and to make adjustments when there is extreme consumption.
From the monitoring mentioned above, the total energy produced from the PV installations is up to the forecast expectations: 2.35 MWh was produced by the solar panels, representing a saving of 600 tons of CO2 emissions.
Depending on their operations, our tenants use up to 90% of the solar energy produced. Each quarter, we inform our tenants about the solar energy generated, as well as the solar energy consumed locally and the financial benefit.
At the end of 2011, a Facility Management programme was introduced. This programme is an internal management system and also provides tenants with access to a secure "My Montea" web portal. The Facility Management programme features the following applications:
Implementation of the Facility Management programme fits in perfectly with the "Blue Label" plan and the transparency that Montea wishes to give its tenants and partners.
Montea encourages its tenants to sort their waste, making separate containers available and offering solutions for waste collection.
This press release also contains a number of statements focused on the future. Statements such as these are subject to risks and uncertainties that may result in the actual results differing substantially from the results that might have been expected from the forward-looking statements made in this press release. Some of the major factors that may affect these results include changes to the economic situation, as well as commercial and competitive circumstances resulting from future court rulings or changes to legislation.

VA, represented by its chairman, BVBA Gerard Van Acker, in turn represented by Mr Gerard Van Acker and Managing Director BVBA Jo De Wolf, in turn represented by Mr Jo De Wolf, states that, to the best of its knowledge:

| Valuation | The value appraisal of the various investment items in the portfolio is supported by the following methods: capitalisation method of the rental value and the income calculation based on a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) model, with an assessment of the unit prices obtained. |
|---|---|
| Change in valuation | The Fair Value, in line with IAS40 on annual basis, rose from EUR 246,987,000 to EUR 283,678,000 at 31/12/2012. This fair value of EUR 283,678,000 corresponds with an investment value of EUR 295,039,319, with the vendor paying costs. |
| The initial return (the rental income taken into consideration with the investment value) of the entire portfolio was 7.72%. |
|
| Assets | Montea's assets are currently ±466,042 m² of storage space and ±48,725 m² of office space, making a total of 514,767 m². These assets are situated at 32 sites, 15 of which are in France. One property (Grimbergen) is by concession. The increase in value of the portfolio is due to the acquisition of the site in Saint-Laurent-Blangy and Saint-Martin-de-Crau in France and Zaventem (Brucargo) in Belgium. 2 sites (Berchem and Aartselaar) were sold. |
| Apart from the 15 sites in France, Montea's current properties are situated mainly in Flanders. 2 buildings (Laken and Vorst) are located in the Brussels Capital Region, and 3 (Milmort, Nivelles and Heppignies) are situated in Wallonia. Of the 15 properties in France, 7 are situated in the Paris region (Savigny-le-Temple and Roissy 1+2, Bondoufle, Le Mesnil Amelot 1+2, Alfortville) and 8 others in the provinces (Lyon, Saint-Priest, Cambrai, Arras, Feuquières-en-Vimeu, Orléans/Saint Cyr-en-Val and Marseille). |
|
| Rental income | The effective rental income is calculated after deduction of property withholding tax if this is to be borne by the owner and, in a few rare cases, as an average rental income up until the next due date if rental discounts are in place or the lease does not run consistently on a contractual basis. |
| This rental income was EUR 22,767,573 per annum at 31/12/2012. Current lease contracts were 6.3% higher than the corresponding estimated market rental value. |
|
| The rental amounts stated are net rental incomes separate from additional payments for communal charges and any insurance premiums. |
The occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, calculated on the basis of the floor space in question, was ± 96.3%
