2. Operational update – rapid rental & high retention mark successful academic year

Successful rental season

Students continue to choose Xior en masse, which ensured a particularly smooth letting process for academic year 24/25. On the one hand, there was high tenant retention and, on the other, vacant and newly delivered rooms were rented out in no time. In most countries, the academic year has already started and the letting season is coming to an end. In Poland & Germany, the academic year starts a bit later and currently the last rooms are being let. Occupancy remains high and stable at 98%, which implies full occupancy capacity when check-in and check-out procedures are taken into account. The new deliveries that are in ramp-up are also doing especially well, with Malmö in the lead with booking rate already at 96%.

This reconfirms the satisfaction of our tenants as well as strong demand for high-quality student rooms and the efficient operation of Xior's rental teams. Moreover, this also proves that price increases do not have a negative impact on demand. Strong demand and pricing power once again ensure a successful start to the new academic year: rents in October increase by +6.2% YoY leading to a substantial increase in guidance LfL rental growth to 6.5% for the full year 2024 from the previously communicated min. 5.5%.

The long-term macroeconomic outlook for student accommodation remains positive, as the sector benefits from resilient and growing demand for higher education and the increasing student population.

New deliveries/openings

Xior opened about 1,000 new student rooms in September, which have since then generated rental income. The properties are all in prime locations near popular universities. In Antwerp, Felix (199 units) and Drie Eiken

1 The figures per share have been calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares, taking into account the dividend rights of the shares concerned, unless otherwise stated.

2 Under IFRS, the earn-out liability was recorded as debt until it was paid in shares and converted to equity. The earn-out payment will take place on or around 31 March 2025 and is therefore not yet reflected in the debt ratio as at 30 September 2024 with a positive impact of -0.53% on the debt ratio.

3 Based on the number of shares outstanding.

4 Without taking into account ongoing divestments until they are fully realised.

(334 units) residences opened, located in a green oasis close to campus Groenenborger and campus Drie Eiken (Faculty of Life Sciences). In Eindhoven, Boschdijk Veste opened a stone's throw from TU/Eindhoven, with which Xior also signed an agreement to take 150 of the 240 units. The remaining rooms were let out in record time just a couple of hours. The Zaragoza residence in Spain (340 units) opened its doors on 26 September through an official opening ceremony with students, the neighbourhood and the municipality. Zaragoza also achieved a LEED Silver certification (external sustainability certification). Drie Eiken was officially opened on 22 October together with students, nearby neighbours and university staff.

Update divestments

3. Financial update

The previously announced divestment programme was fully realised during Q3. In addition, new agreements were concluded in Q3 2024 for the sale of a number of smaller less efficient buildings for a total amount of approximately 25 MEUR5 . The realisation of these is expected during Q4 2024. Xior continues to optimise its portfolio and views further sales opportunistically if they improve the average quality of the portfolio in terms of efficiency or sustainability.

Update financing

Xior also shifted gears in 2024 to extend or refinance financings as early as 12 months in advance. As already reported in the press release dated 2 September 2024, after repaying the remaining balance, Xior has fully repaid the bridge loan of 250 MEUR with ABN Amro. With this loan repaid, there are no loans maturing until Q3 2025. In Q3 2025, 2 smaller loans totalling 20 MEUR mature, which will only be repaid at maturity and not extended earlier to avoid relatively high costs. Below the new maturity table:

5 Subject to the usual (legal) conditions, such as due diligence, financing, administrative controls, etc.

Update Sustainable Finance Framework

Xior's Sustainable Finance Framework includes environmental criteria (E) to select and finance the greenest assets and social criteria (S) based on affordability and social pricing so that part of its portfolio also qualifies for social-linked financing. This is in line with Xior's environmental and social ambitions and commitments, in the context of rising prices and concerns about more affordable student housing.

As of 30 September, Xior has a total of 1.08 billion EUR in sustainable financing, of which 889 MEUR has already been drawn down. In total, Xior has about 2.2 billion EUR in sustainable assets, good to make all financing sustainable.

Financing cost and hedge ratio

The financing cost remains stable at 3.14% in Q3 2024 (vs. 3.14% as at H1 2024). The average maturity of the outstanding loans is 4.35 years. The hedge ratio as at Q3 2024 remains stable at 91% (vs. 91% at H1 2024) and covers a period of 6 years.

Interest Cover Ratio (ICR)

ICR remained stable at 2.53 as at 30 September 2024 (vs 2.54 as at H1 2024). Further deleveraging will further improve the ICR.

Net Debt/EBITDA

Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted) as at Q3 2024 improves to 12.37 (vs. 12.65 at H1 2024). For the full calculation, see Chapter 10 (Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)). Net debt/EBITDA is not a covenant.

6 Xior Student Housing NV uses alternative performance measures (APMs) to measure and monitor its operational performance. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued guidelines applying as from 3 July 2016 for the use and explanation of alternative performance measures. Section 5.8 of the Half-Yearly Financial Report 2024 includes the concepts that Xior considers APMs. The APMs are marked with and are accompanied by a definition, an objective and a reconciliation (see Chapters 10 and 11 of this press release), as required by the ESMA Guideline.

7 From Q3 2024, the number of beds will also be reported.

The financial information for the period ending 30 September 2024 was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The figures published represent consolidated figures; holdings and subsidiaries are consolidated in accordance with the relevant legislation.

8 The fair value of investment properties is the investment value as determined by an independent real estate expert, excluding transaction costs (see BE-REIT Association press release of 10 November 2016). The fair value corresponds to the carrying amount under IFRS.

9 Calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 implementing the Law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate

companies.

10 Shares are counted from the time of issue.

11 Calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares.

12 Based on the number of shares.

1. Net rental result

Xior achieved a net rental result of 120,911 KEUR for the first nine months of 2024, compared to 106,422 KEUR for the first nine months of 2023. This is an increase of 14%. This net rental result will continue to increase throughout the next quarter, as certain acquisitions or developments will only start generating rental income in the last quarter of 2024.

This relates mainly to the following properties:

  • Zernikestraat, Eindhoven (Boschdijk Veste): this property was delivered systematically from the start of Q2 and generated full rental income from Q3 onwards;
  • Campo Pequeño, Lisbon: this property was acquired at the end of Q2 2024 and generates rental income from then on;
  • Xior Kraków: this property was acquired on 5 July 2024 and generates rental income from then on;
  • Campus 3 Eiken, Antwerp: this site was completed over the summer and welcomed the first students from mid-September 2024;
  • Felix, Antwerp: this site was completed over the summer and welcomed the first students from mid-September 2024.

As at 30 September 2024, Xior has been able to calculate like-for-like rental income for 61%. For this rental income, the company has achieved a year-on-year growth of 6.8% compared to 30 September 2023. The LfL rental growth increases as at October 2024 to 6.2% YoY, clearly reflecting the positive impact of the new prices for the just-started academic year. This leads to an increase in guidance for LfL rent growth over the full year 2024 to +6.5% compared to previously communicated 5.5% increase.

2. EPRA earnings

EPRA earnings (excluding the portfolio result, excluding deferred taxes related to IAS 40 adjustments, and excluding the impact of the variation in fair value of financial assets and liabilities) amounts to 60,726 KEUR, up from 53,153 KEUR as at Q3 2023. EPRA earnings – group share amounts to 60,517 KEUR. EPRA earnings after IFRIC 21 adjustment is 62,481 KEUR as at 30 September 2024, compared to 54,607 KEUR for Q3 2023. EPRA earnings after IFRIC 21 adjustment – group share amount to 62,272 KEUR.

EPRA earnings per share13 amount to 1.49 EUR and EPRA earnings per share – group share amount to 1.49 EUR. After IFRIC 21 adjustment, EPRA earnings per share amount to 1.53 EUR and EPRA earnings per share after IFRIC 21 adjustment – group share amount to 1.53 EUR.

In KEUR 30/09/2024 Per share 30/09/2023
EPRA earnings 60,726 1.49 53,153
EPRA earnings – group share 60,517 1.49 53,355
EPRA earnings – after IFRIC 21 adjustment 62,481 1.53 54,607
EPRA earnings – after IFRIC 21 adjustment – group share 62,272 1.53 54,809

As a result of the application of the accounting rule "IFRIC 21 Levies" (introduced in the 2015 financial year), the figures of 30 September 2024 include a provision for the full year 2024 with regard to real estate withholding tax, Dutch property taxes, taxes on secondary residencies and the so-called "subscription tax". This has a substantial negative impact on the result of the first three quarters of 2024, since these costs are not spread across all quarters, but are entirely booked against the first quarter.

The effect of this accounting treatment will reduce as the financial year progresses. If, however, these costs were recognised in profit and loss in a staggered manner, with one quarter of the cost being taken each quarter,

13 The EPRA earnings per share calculation is based on the weighted average number of shares on 30 September 2024, which was 40,706,703.

the result as at 30 September 2024 would increase by an amount of 1,755 KEUR. Under this assumption, EPRA earnings – group share would amount to 62,272 KEUR.

3. Net result

The net result is 41,454 KEUR at 30 September 2024, compared to 28,399 KEUR at 30 September 2023. The net earnings per share amount to 1.02 EUR14. The increase in net result compared to last year is mainly due to the impact of fair value on investment properties and hedging instruments.

The net result includes the impact of variations in fair value of the investment property, other portfolio result, deferred taxes related to IAS 40 and variations in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. EPRA earnings are the net result adjusted based on the effects set out above.

4. Fair value of property portfolio

On 30 September 2024, the portfolio consists of 20,886 lettable student units. The total property portfolio is valued at 3.271 billion EUR as at 30 September 2024, representing an increase of 1.8% or 58,632 KEUR compared to 31 December 2023 (3,212,855 KEUR). This increase stems partly from the further completion/development of the property located at Boschdijk Veste in Eindhoven (NL), the Connect U project in Enschede (NL), the Brinktoren located in Amsterdam (NL), the Felix and 3 Eiken properties located in Antwerp (BE) and the acquisition of Campo Pequeño in Lisbon (PT) and the property located at Romanowicza St. 4 in Kraków (PL).

In the past, all projects in Xior's pipeline were usually started immediately after obtaining the necessary permits along with the signing of fixed prices construction agreements. Given the current rising construction costs and the broader economic environment, Xior will be more selective in which projects to start immediately. Xior's pipeline is therefore split into an active pipeline (where construction has started or has been committed to) and a landbank pipeline (secured projects which may be postponed or even sold).

The current active pipeline amounts to an initial estimated investment value of c. 135 MEUR, with a total cost to come of c. 60.5 MEUR to finalise the active pipeline. For 2024, the cost to come amounts to c. 22 MEUR. The 2025-2026 cost to come amounts to 38.5 MEUR and takes into account the sale of part of Brinktoren to Ymere (committed sale), for which the capex has already been partly borne and is still partly investable.

If all committed acquisitions and projects in the active and landbank pipeline are realised, the portfolio will increase further to c. 3.7 billion EUR, with 24,978 lettable student units.

5. LTV

As of 30 September 2024, the LTV was 51.68%, compared to 52.40% as of 31 December 2023.

As at 30 September 2024, the debt ratio was 50.82% compared to 52.88% as at 31 December 2023. The debt ratio is still negatively impacted by the technical effect of booking the earn-out related to the Basecamp transaction: 17 MEUR of the original 34 MEUR is still recognised as debt under IFRS rules until it will be paid in shares (50% was meanwhile paid in shares on 18 April 2024, the remaining 50% including dividend rights will be paid on or around 31 March 2025). The capital increase on 18 April 2024 immediately reduced the debt ratio by 0.5%. The 2nd earn-out tranche (on or around 31 March 2025) will again have a positive effect of 0.5% on the debt ratio, since there is no cash out. Taking this technical effect into account, the debt ratio would be 50.30%.

14 This is based on the weighted average number of shares.

6. Financing

As at 30 September 2024, the Company had concluded financing agreements with 22 lenders for a total amount of 1,706 MEUR. As of 30 September 2024, the Company had drawn down a total of 1,661 MEUR in financing. Of the undrawn portion, 34.9 MEUR is held as backup for the amount of CP drawn down.

The Company strives to stagger the loan maturities: the average maturity is 4.35 years as at 30 September 2024. This does not include CP notes, all of which are short-term.

Moreover, Xior is to a large extent protected against a rising interest rate climate by the long-term hedging of its existing debt position, with 91% of the financing is hedged for a term of 6 years as of 30 September 2024, either via Interest Rate Swap agreements (1,093 MEUR) or via fixed interest rates (453 MEUR). As these hedges do not take place at the level of individual financings, but for a longer duration than the underlying loans, the coming to maturity of individual financings does not result in an additional interest rate risk.

The average financing cost for Q3 2024 is 3.14% (Q3 2023: 2.54%).

7. Major realisations in the first nine months of 2024

Sale of ESHF 2 Holdings SARL

On 2 January 2024, Xior announced that it had received a transparency notification from ESHF 2 Holdings SARL and ST Holdings SARL. With this notification, all remaining shares of ESHF 2 Holdings SARL were sold. Together with the termination of an agreement to act in concert, a downward crossing of the lowest threshold took place.

Extraordinary General Meeting of 19 February 2024

On 19 January 2024, Xior held its Extraordinary General Meeting. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the renewal of the authorisation of the authorised capital was approved by the Company's shareholders.

Closing Basecamp

On 31 March 2023, Xior exercised its deferral right for the final part of the Basecamp acquisition (acquiring the management and development business and teams involved via a call option). On 10 April 2024, Xior published details surrounding the completion of this acquisition. For more information, see the press release of 10 April 2024 as well as the press release of 26 April 2024.

Announcement of contribution-in-kind earn-out Basecamp and capital increase

On 15 April 2024, Xior announced that the capital increase for payment of the first tranche of earn-out consideration, amounting to approximately 17 MEUR, in the context of the Basecamp acquisition, would take place on 18 April 2024. Under this issue, coupons No 24 and No 25 were detached, effective 16 April 2024 (exdate). As part of the earn-out, a capital increase was carried out for 676,877 shares, at around 25.60 EUR per share. The new shares were listed on the stock exchange from 19 April 2024.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Xior Student Housing NV was held on 16 May 2024, at which, among other things, the annual accounts for 2023 were approved. Among other things, the Annual General Meeting

approved the payment of a dividend of 1.768 EUR gross or 1.2376 EUR net per share (divided between coupons No 23 and No 24).

Optional dividend

On 16 May 2024, Xior announced the terms of an optional dividend. On 4 June, it was announced that Xior shareholders opted for approximately 42% of their dividend entitlement for a contribution of net dividend rights in exchange for new shares instead of paying the dividend in cash. This result led to a capital increase (including share premium) for Xior of approx. 18.91 MEUR through the creation of 670,432 new shares.

Acquisition 2 new residences via contribution in kind and new cornerstone shareholder

On 27 June 2024, Xior announced an agreement to acquire two operational student residences: Campo Pequeño in Lisbon, Portugal with 380 units and LivinnX in Kraków, Poland with 620 units (673 beds) and an average gross investment yield of 8.41%. These acquisitions are realised entirely through a contribution in kind against the issue of new shares at an issue price of 29.0196 EUR (not rounded). The total contribution value was approximately 80 MEUR. The shares were placed with Car Logistics Brussels NV (subsidiary of Katoen Natie Group SA), a new long-term shareholder in Xior's capital.

Private placement of Xior shares by Aloxe to Car Logistics Brussels

On 5 July 2024, the acquisition of the LivinnX residence in Kraków was completed. In preparation for the acquisition of these new shares, Aloxe NV made a private placement of an identical number of shares (1,216,453 shares) on 4 July 2024. These shares were placed through ING with Car Logistics Brussels NV (subsidiary of Katoen Natie SA) at the same price as the issue price namely 29.0196 EUR per share (not rounded). As the placement price was set equal to the issue price, no arbitrage gains were realised on the price of the shares.

Finalisation of acquisition residence LivinnX in Kraków, Poland

On 5 July 2024, Xior fully completed the acquisition of the LivinnX residence in Kraków, Poland. The LivinnX residence is a modern student residence, completed in 2019, with a total of 620 units, 673 beds and various common areas.

Special and Extraordinary General Meeting of 12 September 2024

On 12 September 2024, Xior held its Extraordinary and Special General Meeting. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the renewal of the authorisation of the authorised capital was approved by the Company's shareholders. The notarial deed as well as the coordinated Articles of Association are available on Xior's website. At the Special General Meeting, the remuneration report was approved. The minutes of this meeting are available on Xior's website.

8. Prospects

Xior's focus remains to bring the LTV below 50%. Furthermore, the property portfolio is growing through further realisation of the active project development pipeline and through new acquisitions. The structural imbalance between supply and demand is expected to lead to further rent increases (like-for-like growth). Thanks to the increase in earnings as a result of the 2 recent acquisitions, the completion of approx. 1,000 new student rooms in 2024 and the increased expected LfL rental growth of 6.50% confirming the pricing power of student accommodation, Xior reaffirms its earnings forecast of at least 2.21 EUR per share & gross dividend expectation of 1.768 EUR per share (with a minimum payout of 80%) for FY 2024. This takes into account the impact on EPS of committed sales to date and new shares (10.8% new shares in 2024). Xior expects occupancy rate over 2024 to be in line with current occupancy rate.

Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted)

The net debt/EBITDA (adjusted) is calculated from the consolidated accounts as follows: in the denominator the normalised EBITDA of the past 12 months (12M rolling) and including the annualised impact of external growth; in the numerator the net financial debt adjusted for the projects in progress multiplied by the group's loan-to-value (as these projects do not yet generate rental income but are already (partly) financed on the balance sheet).
