24 August 2023, 7:00am, Antwerp, Belgium: VGP NV ('VGP' or 'the Group'), a European provider of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate, today announces the results for half-year ended 30 June 2023:
VGP's Chief Executive Officer, Jan Van Geet, said: "It has been an eventful and productive first half of the year, marked by a considerable € 36.2 million of annualized committed rental growth. We are pleased to have welcomed numerous new tenants to our portfolio whilst successfully executing multiple transactions with our existing Joint Venture partners. Moreover, we are witnessing a decline in construction prices which allows us to initiate new constructions at favourable margins."
Jan Van Geet, continued: "I believe many have been waiting for an update on the broadening of our Joint Venture model and I am convinced that with Deka we have found comparable DNA to sustain a long term 50:50 partnership. By the end of Q3 a first closing comprising over € 700 million of gross asset value will materialize and by Q3 '24 the entire portfolio, totalling over € 1.1 billion, will have transferred into the joint venture allowing VGP to recycle over € 700 million of cash. The joint venture will be managed by VGP in a similar way to our existing Joint Ventures and as I have been told, the transaction forms the largest of Europe in its class year to date. In these times, I believe I can proudly state that this is a testament to the resilient quality of our portfolio."
Jan Van Geet, concluded: "As expected, the real estate industry's recent shake-up on the back of rising interest rates has revealed a multitude of opportunities, and we are ready to capitalize on them. As such, VGP has signed exclusivity on a number of iconic industrial sites on absolute top locations. In this respect, our solid balance sheet and transactions with existing and new Joint Ventures facilitates us to recycle cash to sustain continuous growth. A prospect I am indeed very excited about and look forward to report upon as we progress."

VGP acquired 701,000 m² of development land and a further 1.4 million m2 has been committed,subject to permits, which brings the remaining total owned and committed land bank for development to 9.5 million m², which supports more than 4.4 million m² of future lettable area1 .
1 Including Joint Ventures @100%


Main acquisitions are located in Germany, France and Spain, with the three largest acquisitions being:
VGP Park Leipzig Flughafen, Germany, with a total land size of 448,000 square meters, allowing for over 200,000 square meters of development.
VGP Park Wiesloch-Walldorf, Germany, with a total land size of 81,000 square meters, allowing for over 40,000 square meters of development. Given its location, VGP intends to explore also alternative developments such as smaller and more flexible units.
VGP Park Rouen, France, with a total land size of 78,000 square meters. This acquisition completes the VGP Park Rouen, following earlier acquisitions of 243,000 square meters at the same location. The complete park allows for minimum 150,000 square meters of development and first lease contracts are under negotiation. Development is expected to start in Q4 '23.
The land bank1 is equally geographically spread between Eastern (48%) and Western Europe (52%) in square meters. The largest land positions are held in the Netherlands (12.7%), Germany (12.0%), Romania (11.4%), Serbia (11.3%) and Slovakia (10.3%).
In total 88% of the land bank is owned or committed by VGP for its own portfolio, whereas 12% is in co-ownership with various Joint Venture partners. It concerns mainly LPM (929,000 sqm) in the Netherlands, Grekon (34,000 sqm) in Germany, Belartza (145,215 sqm) in Spain and Ymir (52,719 sqm) remaining development land in VGP Park Münich (building D).

1 Including land held by the Third and Development Joint Ventures in amount of 1.2 million square meters
Operational solar capacity as of June 2023 increased to 66.6MWp, up 46% year-over-year. Including 86.5 MWp of projects under construction the total solar power generation capacity increased to 153.1 MWp spread over 105 roof-projects in eight countries. As at 30 June 2023 this represents a total aggregate investment amount of € 93 million (incl. commitments).
In addition, 58 solar power projects have been identified (including in five additional countries) which equates to an additional power generation capacity of 65.2 MWp. For these projects we expect the installation works to commence in the coming months. The current total solar portfolio, including pipeline projects totals 218.3 MWp.

On 17 th of January 2023, VGP concluded a tenth transaction with its 50:50 joint venture, VGP European Logistics ('First Joint Venture'). The transaction comprised 3 logistic buildings, which are located in Germany (one) and in the Czech Republic (two). The gross asset value of the completed assets amounted to € 114.6 million and the net proceeds from this transaction amounted to € 73.5 million. Following the completion of this tenth closing, the First Joint Venture's property portfolio consist of 104 completed buildings representing around 1,971,000 m² of lettable area, with an 99.14% occupancy rate.
VGP and Allianz Real Estate also agreed, in Q4 '22, to extend the term of the First Joint Venture agreement by 10 years to 2036.
On 1 st of June 2023, VGP and its 50:50 joint venture, VGP European Logistics 2 (The 'Second Joint Venture' also called 'Aurora') concluded upon a transaction comprising 11 logistic buildings, including 5 buildings in 4 new VGP parks and another 6 newly completed logistic buildings which were developed in parks which were already transferred to the joint venture in a prior closing.
The 11 buildings are located in Spain (7), the Netherlands (3) and Italy (1).

The transaction with VGP European Logistics 2 formed the 4th closing between VGP and this joint venture. The gross asset value of the assets amounted to a value of € 253 million with net proceeds of € 194.4 million.
Following the completion of fourth closing, the Second Joint Venture's property portfolio consist of 43 completed buildings representing around 927,000 m² of lettable area, with an 99% occupancy rate.
Ymir is the third 50:50 joint venture between VGP and Allianz Real Estate, which was established in June 2020 with an objective to develop VGP Park München.
As communicated earlier, VGP has now handed over all of its constructed assets in VGP Park Münich. KraussMaffei is relocating its head offices to the new business park, which is marked as the largest relocation project in Greater Munich since the relocation of Munich Airport in 1992. Together, KraussMaffei – with 212,000 m2 gross lettable area – and BMW –with 64,000 m2 gross lettable area – occupy the existing park. Building D, which is not yet developed, will provide 38,000 m2 gross lettable area and is an extension option for KraussMaffei. Once fully developed, VGP Park München will consist of five logistics buildings, two stand-alone parking houses and one office building for a total gross lettable area of ca. 314,000 m2 .
As a result of the successful completion of the project in the Third Joint Venture, VGP and Allianz Real Estate have executed a final closing pertaining the respective assets in Q4 '22. As some refurbishment works have been completed in VGP Park Münich, a residual amount of € 7 million, has now also been settled in July '23.
In July 2023, VGP Park Munich drew its available credit facility of € 65.5 million. Following the refinancing, the entity initiated a distribution of excess cash available to their shareholders, amounting to € 86 million. Out of this amount, € 43 million was allocated to VGP.
VGP has signed July 21st 2023 a new joint venture agreement with Deka Immobilien, a prominent real estate investment company. The joint venture will see two of Deka Immobilien's public funds, Deka Westinvest InterSelect and Deka Immobilien Europa, acquire a 50% stake in five project companies owned by VGP.
The project companies own and operate five strategically located parks in Germany, namely Gießen – Am alten Flughafen, Laatzen, Göttingen 2, Magdeburg and Berlin Oberkrämer. These parks boast a portfolio of 20 buildings, generating a total annualized rental income of €52.9 million.
The agreed gross asset value of all assets stands at over €1.1 billion. The transaction is foreseen to be executed in three closings, with the first closing anticipated in Q3 2023. However, the successful completion of the transaction is subject to the approval of the relevant antitrust regulatory bodies, which to date have been received. Pricing has been agreed for the full joint venture.
To facilitate the joint venture, parties have agreed to refinance the joint venture with an approximative LTV of 30%. Consequently, VGP is set to recycle over €700 million of cash from the deal. The first closing, expected to materialize in Q3 '23 and encompassing 17 of the 20 buildings, is projected to yield over €450 million in cash. The remaining closings are set for Q1 (two buildings) and Q3 2024 (one building), once the construction of the respective assets are completed.
This joint venture has been established with a long-term horizon. VGP retains asset management services in a similar scope to its existing partnerships with Allianz Real Estate.

In conclusion, the partnership between VGP and Deka Immobilien marks a significant milestone in the European real estate market. Through this joint venture, both companies are well-positioned to capitalize on the strong performance of the German property sector, fostering growth and maximizing returns for their stakeholders over the long term and recycling cash for VGP in the short term.
The LPM Joint Venture was established in November 2020 with an objective to develop Logistics Park Moerdijk (Netherlands) together with the Port Authority Moerdijk on a 50:50 basis. Logistics Park Moerdijk is situated in between the Port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands) and the Port of Antwerp (Belgium) and is one of the few locations in the Netherlands where large-scale value-added logistics and value-added services distribution centres can be developed and built.
During 2023, the preparatory works, pre-loading of the land, to initiate the first developments are ongoing. The first project on behalf of the LPM Joint Venture is currently expected to be started up in 2024.
The VGP Park Belartza Joint Venture (Spain) is set up as a 50:50 joint venture with VUSA, the Bilbaobased construction company. The objective of this joint venture is to provide an additional regional source of land to the Group for land plots which would otherwise not be accessible. The VGP Park Belartza Joint Venture aims to develop ca. 35,000 m² of logistics lettable area.
The project is currently proceeding with obtaining the necessary zoning permits.
The VGP Park Siegen Joint Venture is set up as a 50:50 joint venture with Revikon and focuses on the development of a land plot located in Siegen, Germany. During 2023, following the successful partial sale of its project last year, an equity distribution of € 3.4 million has been paid to VGP NV.
As communicated earlier, VGP is working on broadening its Joint Venture model further. At this stage various workstreams are ongoing. We will communicate along the way on our progress.
Total cash balance as at 30 June 2023 stood at € 357.5 million1 and increased further in July 2023 with € 7 million following a settlement with Allianz Real Estate on the constructed assets in VGP Park Münich and with € 43 million following a cash distribution by VGP Park Münich.
During 1H '23 VGP was able to recycle net € 267.9 million from two closings with respectively the First and Second Joint venture. A bond that came to maturity in April amounting to € 150 million has been fully repaid. This has lowered the average cost of debt to 2.3%. The average term of the credit facilities amounts to 4.27 years. A dividend of € 75 million has been paid out in May '23.
Given the cash recycling to date, the rental and renewable income, as well as the upcoming closing with the Fifth Joint Venture (Deka), VGP does currently not envisage to refinance the upcoming bond repayment of € 225 million in September '23.
1 Including € 22.6 million classified as disposal group held for sale

To date, VGP has € 400 million of undrawn revolving credit facilities available. The pro forma proportional on a look through basis LTV amounts to 49.2% and the pro forma gearing ratio amounts to 31.3% (see note 16).
During the period the standard green lease clause has been reviewed and it now includes green electricity procurement requirements for tenants' new leases as a standard (the Group's own energy procurement switched already to green electricity for FY2022). This initiative will, in addition to the photovoltaic roll-out as discussed above, provide an important lever on achieving our CO2 emissions reduction targets for Scope 3 (confirmed by the Science Based Target initiative).
As of the 20th of March 2023, VGP was included in the BEL ESG index by Euronext. This index was designed to meet sustainable investment needs and tracks the twenty Brussels-listed companies demonstrating the best Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. On the same date VGP was excluded from the BEL20 index.
VGP aims to have new developments certified with BREEAM Excellent or DGNB Gold certification.
The Group published its Biodiversity 2030 Strategy and next steps for the EU Taxonomy review are well underway following the eligibility review last year. Two buildings having received an EU Taxonomy 'certification' and several further EU Taxonomy building 'certifications' are currently ongoing.
As we look ahead, we are encouraged by our results over the first half of the year. During this period, we achieved two significant joint venture closings, resulting in the successful net recycling of €267.9 million in cash, delivered healthy rental growth and kept track on high occupancy rates along the portfolio, while we see construction prices in decline.
Moreover, our upcoming joint venture with Deka will provide us with the opportunity to recycle over €700 million of cash at closing, with an initial closing of over €700 million gross asset value scheduled for Q3 '23. In parallel, VGP continues in various workstreams to broaden its Joint Venture model.
This will not only enhance our financial capabilities but also allow us to materialize and accelerate a number of iconic prospects we currently are negotiating under exclusivity upon.
These strategic land acquisitions will significantly contribute to expanding our – already substantial – development pipeline, positioning VGP for continuous substantial growth in the future.

1 The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
2 Revenue is composed of gross rental and renewables income, service charge income, property and facility management income and property development income
3 Given the exponential growth of renewables income and its operating expenses, the consolidated income statement has been updated by renaming gross and net rental income into gross rental and renewables income and 'net rent and renewable energy income, this entailed some reclasses of renewable energy income between gross rental income and property operating expenses of € 1.4 million in 1H 2022. Property operating expenses include recharges to customers.
The net rental income, VGP's own portfolio, increased to € 31 million for the first half of 2023 compared to € 16.2 million1 for the first half of 2022 primarily due to full impact of income generating assets delivered during the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023.
Including VGP's share of the joint ventures on a "look-through" basis net rental income increased by € 27.1 million, or 59% compared to 1H 2022 (from € 46 million1 for the period ending 30 June 2022 to € 73.1 million for the period ending 30 June 2023) 2 .
As per 1H 2023, total net rental income (JV's at 100%) increased with 51.58% to € 113.6 million versus € 74.8 million for the period ending 30 June 2022 1 .
Gross renewable energy income increased from € 1.4 million to € 2.9 million. Operational solar capacity as of June 2023 increased to 66.6MWp, up 46% year-over-year. Including 86.5 MWp of projects under construction the total solar power generation capacity increased to 153.1 MWp spread over 105 roofprojects in eight countries. As at 30 June 2023 this represents a total aggregate investment amount of € 93 million (incl. commitments).
In addition, 58 solar power projects have been identified (including in five additional countries) which equates to an additional power generation capacity of 65.2 MWp. For these projects we expect the installation works to commence in the coming months. The current total solar portfolio, including pipeline projects totals 218.3 MWp.
The joint venture management fee income increased by € 1.7 million to € 11.7 million. The increase was mainly due to the growth of the joint ventures' portfolio.
Property and facility management fee income increased from € 8.1 million for the period ending 30 June 2022 to € 9.9 million for the period ending 30 June 2023. The development management fee income generated during the period was € 1.8 million, similar for the period ending 30 June 2022.
As at 30 June 2023 the net valuation gains on the property portfolio reached € 45.5 million compared to a net valuation gain of € 155.9 million for the period ended 30 June 2022.
The net valuation gain was mainly driven by: (i) € 22.4 million unrealised valuation gain on the own and disposal group held for sale portfolio, and (ii) € 23.2 million realised valuation gain on assets transferred as part of the fourth close with the Second Joint Venture and the tenth close with the First Joint Venture.
The own property portfolio, excluding development land but including the buildings being constructed on behalf of the Joint Ventures, is valued by the valuation expert at 30 June 2023 based on a weighted average yield of 5.56 % (compared to 5.29% as at 31 December 2022) applied to the contractual rents increased by the estimated rental value on unlet space.
1 Restated versus previous reporting due to split in rental and renewable energy income
2 See attached section 'Supplementary notes not part of the condensed interim financial information' for further details

The real estate valuations were adversely impacted by the rising interest rate which resulted in increasing yields. However, VGP's portfolio surpassed this effect by the impact on the valuations by rental growth, its development margin on newly constructed assets as well as realized gains on transactions with the Joint Ventures. Finally, the assets earmarked for the Fifth Joint Venture have been aligned on the agreed fair market valuation, net of ancillary corrections as part of the purchase price calculation between both parties.
The (re)valuation of the own portfolio was based on the appraisal report of the property expert Jones Lang LaSalle.
The administrative costs for the period were stable with € 21.2 million compared to € 20.8 million for the period ended 30 June 2022.
As at 30 June 2023, the group had a headcount of over 370 FTE's in 17 different countries (compared to over 385 FTE as at 30 June 2022).
VGP's share of the joint ventures' loss for the period came in at € 12.8 million from € 31.4 million of profit for the period ending 30 June 2022, the decrease is mainly reflecting a lower net valuation gain contribution of the joint ventures' portfolio due to yield compression.
Net rental income at share increased to € 42.1 million for the period ending 30 June 2023 compared to € 30.3 million for the period ended 30 June 2022. The increase reflects the underlying growth of the joint ventures' portfolio resulting from the different closings made between the VGP European Logistics and VGP European Logistics 2 joint ventures since May 2016, as well as rental growth within the portfolio.
At the end of June 2023, the joint ventures (100% share) had € 191.4 million of annualised committed leases representing 3,156,500 m² of lettable area compared to € 173.3 million of annualised committed leases representing 2,946,000 m² at the end of December 2022.
The net valuation gains on investment properties at share decreased from € 15 million for the period ending 30 June 2022 to a loss of € 40.7 million for the period ending 30 June 2023. The portfolio of the joint ventures, excluding development and the buildings being constructed by VGP on behalf of the Joint Ventures, was valued at a weighted average yield of 4.98% as at 30 June 2023 (compared to 4.35% as at 31 June 2022).
The (re)valuation of the First, Second and Third Joint Ventures' portfolios was based on the appraisal report of the property expert Jones Lang LaSalle.
The net financial expenses of the joint ventures at share for the period ending 30 June 2023 increased to € 13.3 million (compared to 7.8 million as per 30 June 2022).

Other expenses included € 3.0 million contribution to the UNHCR as per 30 June 2022. VGP has not made any contribution to its VGP Foundation in the first half of 2022.
For the period ending 30 June 2023, the financial income was € 11.3 million (€ 8.1 million for the period ending 30 June 2022) driven by € 8.9 million interest income on loans granted to the joint ventures (€ 8.1 million for the period ending 30 June 2022) and € 2.4 million bank interest income from depositary accounts.
The reported financial expenses as at 30 June 2023 of € 19.5 million (€ 22.3 million as at 30 June 2022) are mainly made up of € 26.1 million expenses related to financial debt (€ 27.9 million as at 30 June 2022) and other financial expenses of € 2.9 million (compared to € 2.4 million as at 30 June 2022), partially offset by € 9.6 million of capitalised interests (€ 8.8 million as at 30 June 2022).
As a result, the net financial costs reached € 8.1 million for the period ending 30 June 2023 compared to € 14.3 million at the end of June 2022. A bond of € 150 million, carrying 2.75% interest, has been repaid in April 2023. The average cost of the credit facilities currently amounts to 2.3% with an average term of 4.27 years.

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated financial information was approved for issue on 24 August 2023 by the Board of Directors.
The condensed interim financial statements are prepared on a historic cost basis, with the exception of investment properties and investment property under construction as well as financial derivatives which are stated at fair value. All figures are in thousands of Euros (EUR '000).
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 except for following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations and the accounting policy re share based payments, which became effective during the first half year of 2023:
The initial recognition of the above new standards did not have a material impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations not yet effective during the first half year of 2023:

The critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty are consistent with those outlined in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 (See Annual Report 2022 – Note 3).
The chief operating decision maker is the person that allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the operating segments. The Group has determined that its chief operating decision-maker is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Company. He allocates resources to and assesses the performance at business line and country level.
The segmentation for segment reporting within VGP is primarily by business line and secondly by geographical region.
For management purpose, the Group also presents financial information according to management breakdowns, based on these functional allocations of revenues and costs. These amounts are based on a number of assumptions, and accordingly are not prepared in accordance with IFRS audited consolidated financial statements of VGP NV for the period ended 30 June 2023 and 2022. Given the growth of the renewables segment, the Group has updated its segment reporting1 and as such consolidated its Investment business and property and asset management segments into one segment and reports Renewable Energy as a new segment. The segment Development has remained unchanged.
The Group's investment or so-called rental business consists of operating profit generated by the completed and leased out projects of the Group's portfolio and the proportional share of the operating profit (excluding net valuation gains) of the completed and leased out projects of the Joint Ventures' portfolio and as part of the segment reporting update, now consolidates as well property and asset management revenue, which include asset management, property management and facility management income..
Revenues and expenses allocated to the rental business unit include 10% of the Group's property operating expenses; other income; other expenses, after deduction of expenses allocated to property development; and share in result of the joint ventures, excluding any revaluation result.
Associated operating, administration and other expenses include directly allocated expenses from the respective asset management, property management and facility management service companies.
The Renewable Energy segment leases roofs from other VGP entities. To the extent these are not eliminated in the consolidation perimeter, these have been added back as cost, in favour of a revenue recognition in the Investment segment.
The Group's property development business consists of the net development result on the Group's development activities. Valuation gains (losses) on investment properties outside the First, Second and Fourth Joint Venture perimeter i.e. Latvia, Croatia, France, Denmark and Serbia are excluded, as they are assumed to be non-cash generating, on the basis that these assets are assumed to be kept in the Group's own portfolio for the foreseeable future. In addition, 80% of total property operating expenses are allocated to the property development business, as are administration expenses after rental business and property management expenses.
The Group's Renewable Energy segment includes gross renewables income and its direct attributable operating expenses. The Renewables income is generated through sale of electricity, government grants and/or leasing activities. In addition, 10% of administration expenses are allocated to the Renewable Energy segment.
The Renewable Energy segment leases roofs from other VGP entities. To the extent these are not eliminated in the consolidation perimeter, these have been added back as cost, in favour of a revenue recognition in the Investment segment.

On 17th of January 2023, VGP concluded a tenth transaction with its 50:50 joint venture, VGP European Logistics ('First Joint Venture'). The transaction comprised 3 logistic buildings, which are located in Germany (one) and in the Czech Republic (two). The gross asset value of the completed assets amounted to € 114.6 million1 and the net proceeds from this transaction amounted to € 73.5 million. Following the completion of this tenth closing, the First Joint Venture's property portfolio consist of
1 The transaction value is composed of the purchase price for the completed income generating buildings and the net book value of the development pipeline which is transferred as part of a closing but not yet paid for by the First Joint Venture.
104 completed buildings representing around 1,971,000 m² of lettable area, with an 99.14% occupancy rate.
VGP and their 50:50 joint venture, VGP European Logistics 2 (The 'Second Joint Venture' also called 'Aurora') concluded upon a transaction comprising 11 logistic buildings, including 5 buildings in 4 new VGP parks and another 6 newly completed logistic buildings which were developed in parks which were already transferred to the joint venture in a prior closing. The 11 buildings are located in Spain (7), the Netherlands (3) and Italy (1). The transaction with VGP European Logistics 2 formed the 4th closing between VGP and this joint venture. The gross asset value of the assets amounted to a value of € 253 million with net proceeds of € 194.4 million.
Following the completion of fourth closing, the Second Joint Venture's property portfolio consist of 43 completed buildings representing around 927,000 m² of lettable area, with an 99% occupancy rate.
The Joint Ventures' property portfolio, excluding development land and buildings being constructed by VGP on behalf of the Joint Ventures, is valued at 30 June 2023 based on a weighted average yield of 4.98%1 (compared to 4.68% as at 31 December 2022). A 0.10% variation of this market rate would give rise to a variation of the Joint Venture portfolio value (at 100%) of € 41.1 million.
The (re)valuation of the First and Second Joint Ventures' portfolio was based on the appraisal report of the property expert Jones Lang LaSalle.
VGP provides certain services, including asset-, property- and development advisory and management, for the Joint Ventures and receives fees from the Joint Ventures for doing so. Those services are carried out on an arms-length basis and do not give VGP any control over the relevant Joint Ventures (nor any unilateral material decision-making rights). Significant transactions and decisions within the Joint Ventures require full Board and/or Shareholder approval, in accordance with the terms of the Joint Venture agreement.

All of the Group's properties are level 3, as defined by IFRS 13, in the fair value hierarchy as at 30 June 2023 and there were no transfers between levels during the year. Level 3 inputs used in valuing the properties are those which are unobservable, as opposed to level 1 (inputs from quoted prices) and level 2 (observable inputs either directly, i.e. as prices, or indirectly, i.e. derived from prices).
The Group's own investment properties and the joint venture's investment properties were valued at 30 June 2023 by Jones Lang LaSalle. The valuation process was unchanged compared to the valuation process described in the 2022 Annual Report (page 300-301), except for the assets destined to the Fifth Joint Venture and currently reported as classified as held for sale. These assets have been recognized at the agreed fair market value with the Joint Venture partner net of ancillary cost and gains such as supplementary rent and construction variation orders, remaining rent incentives and transaction fees.
The quantitative information in the following tables is taken from the different reports produced by the independent real estate experts, The figures provide the range of values and the weighted average of the assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of investment properties.

In order to sustain its growth over the medium term, VGP entered into three 50/50 joint ventures with Allianz (First, Second and Fourth Joint Venture) in respect of acquiring income generating assets developed by VGP. These Joint Ventures act as an exclusive take-out vehicle of the income generating assets, allowing VGP to partially recycle its initially invested capital when completed projects are acquired by the Joint Ventures. VGP is then able to re-invest the proceeds in the continued expansion of its development pipeline, including the further expansion of its land bank, allowing VGP to concentrate on its core development activities.
Each of these joint ventures have an exclusive right of first refusal in relation to acquiring the following income generating assets of the Group: (i) for the First and Fourth Joint Venture: the assets located in the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and the Slovak Republic; and (ii) for the Second Joint Venture: the assets located in Austria, Italy, the Benelux, Portugal, Romania and Spain.
The development pipeline which will be transferred as part of any future acquisition transaction between the Joint Venture and VGP is being developed at VGP's own risk and subsequently acquired and paid for by these joint ventures subject to pre-agreed completion and lease parameters.
Following negotiations with Allianz on the seed portfolio for the Fourth Joint Venture, VGP and Allianz have agreed that for such seed portfolio the exclusivity has been waived. As per 21 July 2023, VGP entered into a new Joint Venture agreement (the Fifth Joint Venture) with Deka to transfer a part of the respective seed portfolio into this Joint Venture. These five parks containing 20 buildings have also been classified as held for sale and these assets have been recognized at the agreed fair market value with the Joint Venture partner net of ancillary cost and gains such as supplementary rent and construction variation orders, remaining rent incentives and transaction fees. The total net assets pertaining to the Fifth Joint Venture amount to € 976 million.
The investment properties correspond to the fair value of the asset under construction which are being developed by VGP on behalf of the First and Second Joint Venture, as well as the assets earmarked for the Fifth Joint Venture (Deka). This balance includes € 27.8 million of interest-bearing development and construction loans (2022: € 101.4 million) granted by VGP to these joint ventures to finance their respective development pipeline.

In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the consolidated interim financial information. This consolidated interim financial information comprises the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2023, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the period of six months then ended, as well as selective notes 1 to 20.
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial information of VGP NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet shows total assets of 4 623 707 (000) EUR and the condensed consolidated income statement shows a consolidated profit (group share) for the period then ended of 34 662 (000) EUR.
The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated interim financial information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information of VGP NV has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
