Half-yearly financial report

Antwerp, 31 July 2012

Increase of operating distributable result of 4 %: € 1,30 per share (€ 1,25 in the first semester of 2011) Increase in fair value of real estate portfolio of 1 % Limited debt ratio: 37 % Expected gross dividend 2012 between € 2,50 and € 2,60 per share

1. Interim management report

1.1. Operating activities of the first semester of 2012

In the first semester of 2012 the operating distributable result of Intervest Retail increases and amounts to € 1,30 per share compared to € 1,25 in the first semester of previous financial year. This represents an increase of 4 % per share. This positive result is due to the acquisition of Jardin d'Harscamp in Namur in October 2011 and to indexations and rental renewals in the existing real estate portfolio. Recently concluded rental renewals still provide attractive rental increases. The rents of Intervest Retail have increased by 5,5 % on average for inner-city shops and for retail warehouses the average rental increase reaches largely 18 %. The first semester 2012 is characterized by a number of temporary lettings in premises of Intervest Retail located in Vilvorde, Schelle, Turnhout and Balen.

The fair value of the real estate portfolio of Intervest Retail has increased by approximately 1 % in the first semester of 2012 through rental indexations, rental renewals and new lease contracts. Market rents and yields1 remain quite stable. The average yield for retail warehouses in the portfolio of the property investment fund reaches 7,0 % on 30 June 2012 (6,9 % on 31 December 2011) and for inner-city shops 5,5 % (5,5 % on 31 December 2012). An important increase in value of 13 % has been recorded for Jardin d'Harscamp in Namur as a result of the letting to the international fashion chain Desigual. Renovation works in the Roosevelt Centre in Vilvorde have led to an increase in value of 5,9 % during the first semester of 2012. A further increase in value of this building is also expected during the second semester of 2012.

In the first semester of 2012, Intervest Retail has strengthened further its commercial policy by introducing a structured account management in view of a closer dialogue with tenants and retailers in general. In Belgium the rental market has not been very intensive during the first semester of 2012. The urge for expansion among retailers has decreased. Retailers adopt a rather waiting position and are more demanding.

1 The yield is calculated as the ratio between the rental income (increased by the estimated rental value of vacant locations for rent) and the investment value of investment properties.

△ Desigual - Jardin d'Harscamp - Namur △ Roosevelt Centre - Vilvorde

A brand that remains very expansive in 2012 is the international fashion giant Desigual. Intervest Retail signed a lease contract with Desigual for a unit of 522 m² in Jardin d'Harscamp in the centre of Namur. Intervest Retail acquired this inner-city shopping centre in the second semester of 2011 with the aim of merging smaller units in order to commercialize them. Meanwhile, this letting is a first successful step towards the repositioning of Jardin d'Harscamp.

Also food discounter Aldi remains expansive through the modernization and expansion of existing shops. At the end of 2011 their shop in the Roosevelt Centre in Vilvorde has been renewed and expanded and at the beginning of this year identical works have been achieved regarding their shop in Gouden Kruispunt in Tielt-Winge.

The renovation of the retail park Roosevelt Centre in Vilvorde has been completed successfully. Intervest Retail will currently do the utmost so that the centre will soon be entirely let. Currently three units are still available.

In the second quarter of 2012, Intervest Retail has filed a building permit request concerning similar renovation works in the retail park in Ans. This planned renovation has already resulted in agreements with existing tenants regarding rental increases after terminating the renovation works and a new letting could already be concluded under the condition of obtaining the necessary permits.

The situation for Shopping Park Julianus in Tongeren remains unchanged. The occupancy rate of Julianus Shopping amounts to approximately 90 % on 30 June 2012. Currently four units are still to be let. In spite of economic uncertain times most retailers have reported increasing turnover figures compared to the first semester 2011.

1.2. Composition and evolution of the real estate portfolio on 30 June 2012

Property investment fund Intervest Retail focuses on an investment policy based on commercial real estate, with respect for criterions of risk spread in the real estate portfolio, relating to the type of building as well as to the geographic spread and the sector of the tenants.

On 30 June 2012 this risk spread is as follows:

Sector of tenants

REAL ESTATE PATRIMONY 30.06.2012 31.12.2011 30.06.2011
Fair value of investment properties (€ 000) 367.236 362.213 341.260
Investment value of investment properties (€ 000) 376.417 371.268 349.792
Total leasable space (m²) 161.773 161.573 158.141
Occupancy rate (%) 97,8 % 96,6 % 97,3 %

On 30 June 2012, the fair value of the investment properties amounts to € 367 million (€ 362 million on 31 December 2011). This increase of € 5 million is mainly due to:

  • ୭ the increase in value of the existing real estate portfolio of € 4 million through indexations and rental renewals in the existing real estate portfolio as well as through the letting to Desigual in Namur
  • ୭ investments of € 1 million, mainly in Gouden Kruispunt in Tielt-Winge (for the extension of Aldi), in the Roosevelt Centre in Vilvorde and in the shopping complex Jardin d'Harscamp in Namur.

The occupancy rate2 of the portfolio amounts to 97,8 % on 30 June 2012. The increase compared to 31 December 2011 results from a number of temporary lettings and the letting to Desigual in Jardin d'Harscamp in Namur.

1.3. Market situation of Belgian commercial real estate in 20123

The first semester of 2012 has been characterized by a number of economic uncertainties resulting in a decline of consumer confidence. In such situation, consumers are rather pessimistic, and limit their spending. Turnover figures of most retailers in Belgium remain quite stable. Although a lowering demand for new locations cannot be denied, the Belgian rental market remains relatively healthy. Also international chains are still interested in our country: the Dutch Albert Heijn, the Spanish Desigual or the Italian Calzedonia.

Currently new projects are not started because developers are more careful, but also difficult procedures for obtaining permits are dissuasive. Uplace, for instance, has been several times on the news for obtaining or for being refused the necessary permits.

As previous year the investment market was still dominated by smaller transactions, there are currently some important transactions regarding shopping centres: Genk 1 Shopping, Galeries Toisons d'Or, Shopping Park Olen and a part of Westland Shopping Center. It is expected that the investment market will remain active also in the second semester of 2012. National but also international (private) investors are interested in the Belgian retail market: the low interest on savings accounts is negligible and the stock market is too turbulent while the value of retail real estate in Belgium remains rather stable.

1.4. Analysis of the results4

The rental income of Intervest Retail increases in the first semester of 2012 by € 0,5 million to € 11,1 million (€ 10,6 million). This increase of approximately 5 % results mainly from the acquisition of Jardin d'Harscamp shopping complex in Namur in October 2011 and from indexations and rental renewals of existing lease contracts.

The property charges increase slightly and amount to € 1,2 million for the first semester of 2012 (€ 1,1 million) due to vacancy costs and other property charges for Jardin d'Harscamp in Namur and Julianus Shopping in Tongeren.

The general costs remain at the same level as the first semester of previous financial year.

The result on disposals of investment properties comprises € 0,5 million related to the second part of the additional compensation, received from the buyer of Shopping Park Olen for earlier made project costs, according to the agreement of December 2009 on the sale of the project5.

The positive changes in fair value of investment properties for the first semester of 2012 amount to € 4,0 million or approximately 1 % on the fair value of the portfolio compared to an increase in value of € 13,1 million (or 4 %) in the first semester of 2011. This positive effect results from indexations and rental renewals in the existing real estate portfolio, as well as from the letting to Desigual in Namur, whereby the fair value of this shopping complex has increased by 13 %.

The financial result (excl. changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (ineffective hedges - IAS 39)) amounts for the first semester of 2012 to - € 2,6 million (- € 2,5 million). The average interest rate of the property investment fund for the first semester of 2012 is 4,1 %, including bank margins (4,3 %).

The changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (ineffective hedges - IAS 39) in the first semester of 2012 include the decrease in the market value of interest rate swaps that, in line with IAS 39, cannot be classified as cash flow hedging instruments, for an amount of - € 1,2 million (€ 0,8 million).

The net result of property investment fund Intervest Retail amounts to € 10,0 million for the first semester of 2012 (€ 20,6 million) and can be divided in:

  • ୭ the operating distributable result of € 6,6 million (€ 6,3 million). This increase of € 0,3 million or approximately 4 % results mainly from the acquisition of Jardin d'Harscamp in Namur in October 2011 and from indexations and rental renewals in the existing real estate portfolio.
  • ୭ the result on portfolio of € 4,6 million (€ 13,5 million), mainly through indexations and rental renewals of the existing real estate portfolio as well as through the letting to Desigual in Namur.
  • ୭ changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (non-effective hedges - IAS 39) and other non-distributable elements for an amount of - € 1,2 million (€ 0,8 million).

This represents per share for the first semester of 2012 an operating distributable result of € 1,30 (€ 1,25).

1.5. Financial structure on 30 June 2012

On 30 June 2012, Intervest Retail has a conservative financial structure allowing it to continue to carry out its activities in 2012.

The most important characteristics of the financial structure on 30 June 2012 are:

  • ୭ Amount of withdrawn financial debts: € 134 million (excluding the market value of financial derivatives)
  • ୭ 80 % of the credit lines are long-term financings with an average remaining duration of 3,6 years

Balance between long-term and short-term financings

  • ୭ In the first semester of 2012 Intervest Retail has prolonged a credit facility which expired in June 2012 for an amount of € 20 million. The new credit facility has a duration of 5 years and is concluded at market rates, at the same financial institution. Herewith the property investment fund has completed all its refinancings for the financial year 2012. For the financial year 2013 only one credit facility of € 10 million has to be renegotiated.
  • ୭ Well-spread expiry dates of the credit facilities between 2013 and 2017

  • ୭ Spread of credit facilities over 5 European financial institutions

  • ୭ € 3 million of available non-withdrawn credit lines
  • ୭ 67 % of the withdrawn credit facilities have a fixed interest rate, 33 % have a variable interest rate
  • ୭ Fixed interest rates are fixed for a remaining period of 4,4 years in average
  • ୭ Average interest rate for the first semester of 2012: 4,1 % including bank margins (4,3 % for the first semester of 2011)
  • ୭ Value of financial derivatives: € 6,2 million in negative
  • ୭ Limited debt ratio of 37 % (36 % on 31 December 2011) (legal maximum: 65 %)

1.6. Risks for the remaining months of 2012

Intervest Retail estimates the main risk factors and uncertainties for the remaining months of the financial year 2012 as follows:

  • ୭ Rental risks: Given the nature of the buildings which are mainly let to national and international companies, the real estate portfolio is to a certain degree sensitive to the economic situation. However in the short term no direct risks are recognized that can fundamentally influence the results of the financial year 2012. Furthermore, within the property investment fund, there are clear and efficient internal control procedures to limit this risk.
  • ୭ Evolution of the value of the portfolio: The value of the investment properties of Intervest Retail are to a certain degree sensitive to the economic situation. Through favourable developments on the Belgian commercial real estate investment market and the limited increasing vacancy risk in the real estate portfolio, the property investment fund does not expect a significant decrease in value of the real estate portfolio during the second semester of 2012.
  • ୭ Evolution of the interest rates: Due to the financing with borrowed capital, the return of the property investment fund depends on the evolution of the interest rate. To limit this risk an appropriate ratio between borrowed capital with variable interest rate and borrowed capital with fixed interest rate is pursued at the composition of the credit facilities portfolio. On 30 June 2012, 67 % of the credit facilities portfolio consist of loans with a fixed interest rate or fixed through interest rate swaps. 33 % of the credit facilities portfolio has a variable interest rate which is subject to (un)foreseen rises of the currently low interest rates.

1.7. Forecast for 2012

In the second semester of 2012 Intervest Retail intends to sell a number of non-strategic premises. In the long term the aim is to increase the share of inner-city shops on prime locations in larger cities to 65 % of the real estate portfolio.

In the second semester of 2012 Intervest Retail expects to reach an agreement with a developer/ contractor for the redevelopment of the vacant floors of the commercial property located on the Bruul 42-44 in Malines, where 19 lofts will be realized next year. Besides, a new construction will be built at the corner of the Bruul and the Borzestraat, so that the entire block, with H&M and Coolcat as current tenants, will have a totally renewed and high-quality appearance.

Based on the half-yearly results and the forecasts on 30 June 2012, Intervest Retail expects that for the entire year 2012 the gross dividend will increase compared to the dividend of 2011 which amounted to € 2,53. For the financial year 2012, Intervest Retail estimates to be able to propose its shareholders a gross dividend per share between € 2,50 and € 2,60. This represents a gross dividend yield between 4,9 % and 5,1 %, based on the closing share price on 30 June 2012 (€ 51,00).

2.7. Statutory auditor's report

INTERVEST RETAIL SA, public property investment fund under Belgian law

Limited review report on the consolidated interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2012

To the board of directors

We have performed a limited review of the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet, condensed income statement, condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed cash flow statement, condensed statement of changes in equity and selective notes (jointly the "interim financial information") of Intervest Retail SA, public property investment fund under Belgian law ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group") for the six-month period ended 30 June 2012. The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

The interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

Our limited review of the interim financial information was conducted in accordance with international standard ISRE 2410 - Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity. A limited review consists of making inquiries of group management and applying analytical and other review procedures to the interim financial information and underlying financial data. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim financial information.

Based on our limited review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2012 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

Antwerp, 30 July 2012
