Summary

During the first half of 2014 VGP delivered a solid performance in terms of development, leasing and property and facility management activities.

Roll out of the Group's activities gathered pace in Germany with additional leases being signed and new developments being completed and or in last stages of completion. The potential pipeline for future leases and developments in Germany continued to fill up well, which will result in the signing of significant new lease contracts and start-up of new developments during the second half of 2014.

During the first half of 2014 VGP's activities can be summarised as follows:

  • The operating activities resulted in a net profit of € 43.4 million (€ 2.33 per share) for the period ended 30 June 2014 compared to a net profit of € 9.1 million (€ 0.49 per share) for the period ended 30 June 2013.
  • The increase in demand of lettable area resulted in the signing of new lease contracts in excess of € 7.0 million in total of which € 4.5 million related to new or replacement leases (€ 2.6 million for VGP's own portfolio) and € 2.5 million (all on behalf of the associates) were related to renewals of existing lease contracts.
  • The Group's property portfolio reached an occupancy rate of 96.7% at the end of June 2014 (excluding the associates) compared to 96.9% as at 31 December 2013.
  • The investment property portfolio consists of 15 completed buildings representing 214,287 m² of lettable area with another 8 buildings under construction representing 121,148 m² of lettable area.
  • Besides this VGP partially (20%) owns through its associates another 58 buildings which represent 627,523 m² of lettable area and for which property and facility management services are provided by the VGP Group. During the month of August 2014 the 20% stake in these buildings was disposed of.
  • During the first half of 2014, VGP continued to expand its land bank and acquired 584,000 m² of new development land in Germany. In addition at the end of June the Group had 238,000 m² land plots (152,000 m² located in Germany) targeted and partially committed to expand the land bank and support the development pipeline.
  • The net valuation of the property portfolio as at 30 June 2014 showed a net valuation gain of € 40.9 million against a net valuation gain of € 7.4 million per 30 June 2013 reflecting the improving market conditions and the increased attractiveness from investors for A-grade logistic buildings.
  • As at 30 June 2014 the financial income continued to benefit from the interest income on loans made available to associates but was adversely impacted by the interest on the 2 bonds which were issued during the financial year 2013. This resulted in a net financial expense of € 3.2 million compared to a net financial income of € 1.7 million as at 30 June 2013.
  • On 22 August 2014 VGP and its joint venture partners entered into a sales agreement to sell the Czech VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II portfolios. With this transaction VGP sold its remaining 20% stake in these 2 Czech portfolios. The completion of the transaction is expected to occur during the last quarter of 2014.

Gross rental income up 105.3% to € 4.1 million

The gross rental income reflects the full impact of the income generating assets delivered during 2014. The gross rental income for the period ending 30 June 2014 increased by 105.3% from € 2.0 million for the period ending 30 June 2013 to € 4.1 million for the period ending 30 June 2014.

Committed annualised rent income increases to € 13.0 million

During 2014 VGP continued to successfully sign new and or renew existing leases.

Roll out of the Group's activities gathered pace in Germany with additional leases being signed.

At the end of June 2014 several significant leases were under negotiation which meanwhile materialised and resulted in the signing of additional significant leases during the second half of 2014.

1 Excluding the revaluation of interest rate financial instruments.

Since the start of the German operations some 18 months ago VGP has already successfully contracted more than € 3.5 million of new committed leases as at the end of June 2014.

Also in the other countries where VGP is active the activities performed well with Romania and Estonia having an outstanding first half. In Romania VGP managed to fully lease out its brand new 19,000 m² warehouse which represents around € 1.0 million of annualised rent income. In Estonia, the new VGP Park Nehatu performed solidly with new leases totalling € 0.5 million being signed during the first half year and additional leases (totalling more than € 0.5 million) already being signed during the second half year.

The annualised committed leases increased to € 13.0 million as at the end of June 2014 (compared to € 10.4 million as at 31 December 2013).

The committed annualised rent income represents the annualised rent income generated or to be generated by executed lease – and future lease agreements.

The Group's property portfolio reached an occupancy rate of 96.7% at the end of June 2014 (excluding the associates) compared to 96.9% as at 31 December 2013.

The signed committed lease agreements represent a total of 252,288 m² of lettable area with the weighted average term of the committed leases standing at 7.1 years at the end of June 2014 compared to 7.6 years at the end of December 2013.

Property and facility management income reaches € 1.4 million

The property and facility management income reached € 1.4 million for the period compared to € 1.2 million for the period ending June 2013.

The property and facility management is mainly generated by providing services to the associated companies and to other third parties in the Czech Republic.

The sale of the VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II portfolios should not have a significant impact on this income in the short term, as VGP has been retained by the new owners of these portfolios to provide property and facility management services for the future.

Net valuation gain on the property portfolio reaches € 40.9 million

As at 30 June 2014 the net valuation gain on the property portfolio reaches € 40.9 million against a net valuation gain of € 7.4 million per 30 June 2013.

The total property portfolio (including the associates but excluding development land) is valued by the valuation expert at 30 June 2014 based on an average market rate of 8.17% (compared to 8.31% as at 31 December 2013) applied to the contractual rents increased by the estimated rental value on unlet space.

The (re)valuation of the portfolio was based on the appraisal report of Jones Lang LaSalle.

Net financial expenses reach € 3.2 million

As at 30 June 2014 the net financial expenses mainly increased due to the interest expenses on the 2 bonds issued during 2013 which accounted for € 3.8 million of the total of € 4.9 million interest expenses compared to € 0.2 million interest expenses as at 30 June 2013. The financial income continued to benefit from the interest income on loans made available to associates which resulted in a financial income of € 1.8 million as at 30 June 2014 which was similar as for the same period in 2013.

As a result the net financial expenses reached € 3.2 million as at 30 June 2014 compared to a net financial income of € 1.7 million as at 30 June 2013.

Loans to associates decreased slightly from € 49.1 million as at 31 December 2013 to € 48.9 million as at 30 June 2014.

The financial debt increased from € 159.7 million as at 31 December 2013 to € 167.0 million as at 30 June 2014. The increase was due to the increase in bank debt which increased to € 30.9 million at the end of June 2014 compared to € 23.8 million at the end of December 2013.

Evolution of the property portfolio

The fair value of the investment property and the investment property under construction (the "property portfolio") as at 30 June 2014 increased with 46.2% to € 330.5 million compared to € 225.8 million as at 31 December 2013. The increase of the property portfolio was mainly due to the acquisition of new development land and to the start-up of new projects.

Completed projects

During the first half of 2014, 7 building were completed totalling 79,078 m².

All buildings were delivered for VGP's own account. In the Czech Republic: 1 building of 5,234 m² in VGP Park Tuchomerice, 1 building of 14,838 m² in VGP Park BRNO, 1 building of 18,225 m² in VGP Park Hradek nad Nisou and 1 building of 5,200 m² in VGP Park Usti nad Labem. In the other countries: 1 building of 21,806 m² in VGP Park Nehatu (Estonia), 1 building of 7,375 m² in VGP Park Timisoara (Romania) and finally 1 building of 6,400 m² in VGP Park Bingen (Germany).

Projects under construction

At the end of June 2014 VGP has the following 8 new buildings under construction for its own account: In the Czech Republic: 1 building in VGP Park BRNO and 2 buildings in VGP Park Plzeň. In the other countries: 1 building in VGP Park Malacky (Slovakia), 1 building in VGP Park Timisoara (Romania), 1 building in VGP Park Nehatu (Estonia), 1 building in VGP Park Hamburg (Germany) and finally the first building in the new VGP Park Rodgau (Germany) was started up. The new buildings under construction on which several pre-leases have already been signed, represent a total future lettable area of 121,148 m².

Land bank

During the first half of 2014 VGP continued to prepare the development pipeline for future growth through the acquisition of 584,000 m² development land, all located in Germany.

VGP has currently a land bank in full ownership of 2,627,597 m². The land bank allows VGP to develop besides the current completed projects and projects under construction a further 798,000 m² of lettable area of which 527,000 m² in Germany, 106,000 m² in the Czech Republic, and 165,000 in the other countries.

Besides this VGP has another 237,000 m² of new land plots under option of which 152,000 m² are located in Germany. These land plots have a development potential of approx. 114,000 m² of new projects. These remaining land plots are expected to be acquired during the second half of 2014.

Financing

During the first half of 2014 VGP has been able to expand its current pool of banks with Deutsche Hypo by signing a new € 31.7 million 5 year committed credit facility.

The new committed facility secures the current development pipeline in VGP Park Hamburg.

Sale of remaining 20% interest in the VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II portfolios

On 22 August 2014 VGP together with its joint venture partners European Property Investors Special Opportunities, L.P. (EPISO) and Curzon Capital Partners III LP (CCP III), both property funds managed by Tristan Capital Partners, concluded an agreement to sell their respective stakes in the VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II portfolios in the Czech Republic to PointPark Properties (P3). The sale to P3 is scheduled for completion during the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to the finalization of contract terms and regulatory approval.

VGP will primarily reinvest its part of the sales proceeds in VGP's core markets located in the mid-European region and especially Germany.

The VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II portfolios were valued as at 30 June 2014 at their respective expected sales price.

Additional comments on the 30 June 2014 condensed interim financial accounts

Taxes

As at the end of June 2014 the taxes reached € 10.0 million compared to € 1.7 million as at the end of June 2013. The change in the tax line is mainly due to the variance of the fair value adjustment of the property portfolio and has therefore no effect on the liquidity position of the Group.

Trade debts and other current liabilities

As at 30 June 2014 the trade debts and other current liabilities stood at € 6.4 million (compared to € 14.9 million as at 31 December 2013). The decrease relates mainly to the outstanding payment at the end of 2013 of the € 7.6 million capital reduction which was paid out in January 2014.

Risk Factors

The overview of the most significant risks to which the VGP Group is exposed to can be found on page 34 to 35 of the Annual Report 2013. These risks remain actual and valid and will continue to apply for the remainder of the financial year.

Outlook 2014

During the first half of 2014 market conditions have improved significantly.

Based on the positive trend in the demands for lettable area recorded by VGP during the first half of 2014, and provided there are no unforeseen events of economic and financial markets nature, VGP should be able to continue to expand its contracted rent income and property portfolio through the completion and start-up of additional new buildings.

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic area (geographic segment) and which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. As the majority of the assets of the Group are geographically located in the Czech Republic and increasingly in Germany, a distinction between the Czech Republic, Germany and the other countries ("Other countries") has been made. The segment assets include all items directly attributable to the segment as well as those elements that can reasonably be allocated to a segment (financial assets and income tax receivables are therefore part of segment assets). Given the growing importance of property and facility management services the income on the property and facility management as well as the development businesses have been separately included on a geographical basis. Unallocated amounts include the administrative costs incurred for the Group's supporting functions. All rent income is coming from semi-industrial buildings. There is no risk concentration in terms of income contribution from a single tenant.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

During the reporting period ending 30 June 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

VGP NV

Report on review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2014

To the board of directors

In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2014, 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 16.

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of VGP NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet shows total assets of 423,567 (000) EUR and the condensed consolidated income statement shows a consolidated profit (group share) for the period then ended of 43,376 (000) EUR.

The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of VGP NV have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

Diegem, 26 August 2014
