  • LTV of 52.64% compared to 51.39% on 31/12/2022. Full completion of the divestment programme is expected before the end of 2023, which would have a positive impact on the LTV of around 3.8% pro forma per 31/03/2023.

Portfolio and operational update – Again a huge demand for student rooms

  • As in the past two years, there is once more a massive search for student rooms and the rental season is already running at full speed. In some of the countries applications were already flooding in at the end of last year which led to an earlier start of the rental season for the next academic year. Again high retention rates were observed (up to 70%) leading to some of the student cities like Ghent and Leuven to be fully rented out in no-time. This high interest and fast rental activity enables Xior to pass on inflation without having an effect on the increasing demand for student rooms.
  • Xior submitted its CO2 reduction targets to SBTi; a clear commitment towards net-zero carbon.
  • Divestment programme: Xior announced a further acceleration of its divestment programme with 170 MEUR of additional identified divestments.

1 Figures per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares taking into account the dividend entitlement of the shares concerned, unless otherwise indicated.

The financial information for the period ending 31 March 2023 was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

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

1. Net rental result

Xior achieved a net rental result of 34.096 KEUR for the three months of 2023, compared to 24.817 KEUR for the first three months of 2022. This is an increase of 37%. This net rental result will continue to increase throughout the next quarters, as certain acquisitions or developments will only start generating rental income during the course of 2023. The current active pipeline amounts to c. 587 MEUR of estimated investment value

3 The fair value of the investment property is the investment value as determined by an independent property expert not including the transaction fees (see BE-REIT Association press release dated 10 November 2016). The fair value corresponds to the book value under IFRS.

4 Calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 implementing the Act of 12 May 2014 on Regulated Real Estate Companies.

5 Calculated based on the weighted average number of shares.

6 Based on the number of shares.

with a remaining total cost to come of c. 142 MEUR to finalise the whole active pipeline. For 2023 and 2024 the cost to come amounts to respectively 95 MEUR and 36 MEUR. Of the 95 MEUR cost to come in 2023, 67 MEUR applies to properties that will be delivered in 2023, meaning that a limited investment of 67 MEUR will result in the delivery of c. 390 MEUR yielding assets with more than 2,000 additional lettable units that will start contributing to the rental result in 2023.

This relates mainly to the following properties:

  • Mélot Namur: property acquired with delay in January 2023 and started generating rental income from then;
  • City Lofts Leeuwarden, St.Pietersplein Ghent, Hertz Hasselt, Lumiar Lisbon and both Basecamp development projects Aarhus and Malmö): properties will be delivered over the summer and will generate rental income from the new academic year;
  • Boschdijk Veste Eindhoven and Pontoneros Zaragoza: properties will be partially delivered over the summer and will generate rental income from the new academic year.

As at 31 March 2023, Xior was able to calculate like for like covering 62% of the rental income. The company achieved a year-on-year 5.6% LfL growth in its rental income compared to 31 March 2022.

  • Note that gross rental income decreased in Q1 2023 as compared to Q4 2022 due to the following reasons:
    • In Spain the residences apply an all-in price, including F&B as from Q1 2023 onwards Xior made a reclassification of the F&B 'income' out of gross rent to other with rent related income and charges (to show it net off the F&B cost)
    • In Q4 2022 the rental guarantees for some properties for the full 6 months of H2 2022 were booked over only one quarter, whereas now in Q1 2023 the rental guarantees for 3 months are taken into account.

The average occupancy rate of the property portfolio was 97.8% for the first three months of 2023.

2. EPRA earnings

EPRA earnings (excluding the portfolio result, excluding the impact of deferred taxes affected by IAS 40 adjustments, and excluding the impact of the variation in fair value of the financial assets and liabilities) amount to 14,482 KEUR, compared to 10,517 KEUR in Q1 2022. EPRA earnings – group share amount to 14,457 KEUR. EPRA earnings after the IFRIC 21 adjustment amount to 18,478 KEUR as at 31 March 2022, compared to 13,375 KEUR for Q1 2022. EPRA earnings after IFRIC 21 adjustment – group share amount to 18,453 KEUR.

EPRA earnings per share7 amount to 0.42 EUR, and EPRA earnings per share – group share amount to 0.42 EUR. After the IFRIC 21 adjustment, the EPRA earnings per share amount to 0.53 EUR per share and the EPRA earnings per share after IFRIC 21 adjustment – group share amount to 0.53 EUR.

In KEUR 31/03/2023 Per share 31/03/2022
EPRA earnings 14,482 0.42 10,517
EPRA earnings – group share 14,457 0.42 10,171
EPRA earnings – after IFRIC 21 adjustment 18,478 0.53 13,375
EPRA earnings – after IFRIC 21 adjustment – group share 18,453 0.53 13,029

As a result of the application of the "IFRIC 21 levies" accounting rules (introduced in the financial year 2015), the figures of 31 March 2023 include a provision for the entire year of 2023 with regard to real estate withholding tax, Dutch property taxes, taxes on secondary residences and the so-called "subscription tax". This has a substantial negative impact on the result of the first quarter of 2023, as these costs are no longer spread across all quarters but are entirely booked against the first quarter. The effect of this accounting treatment will

7 The calculation of the EPRA earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares on 31 March 2023, which was 34,752,543.

reduce as the financial year unfolds. If these costs were to be spread, with a quarter of the costs being charged in each quarter, the result on 31 March 2023 would increase by 3,996 KEUR. In that theoretical case, EPRA earnings – group share would be 18,453 KEUR.

3. Net result

The net result is -6,641 KEUR at 31 March 2023, compared to 49,502 KEUR as at 31 March 2022. The net earnings per share amount to -0.19 EUR. 8 The decrease in net result as compared to last year is mainly due to the impact of the fair value on financial instruments which was negative in Q1 2023 and positive in Q1 2022.

The net result includes the impact of variations in the fair value of the investment property, other portfolio result, deferred taxes with regard 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 real estate portfolio

On 31 March 2023, the portfolio consists of 18,208 lettable student units. The total property portfolio is valued at 3,062,367 MEUR as at 31 March 2023. Valuations remained stable over the first quarter on the back of the positive impact of rental growth. The revaluation of the portfolio was limited to only -0.3% (vs. Q4 2022) (-8.6 MEUR).

In the past all projects in Xior's pipeline were normally started immediately after obtaining the necessary permits along with the signing of fixed price construction agreements. Given the current rising construction costs and 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 c. 587 MEUR of estimated investment value with a remaining total cost to come of c. 142 MEUR to finalise the whole active pipeline. For 2023 and 2024 the cost to come amounts to respectively 95 MEUR and 36 MEUR. Of this active pipeline 2,000 new units will be delivered in 2023 and will start generating income as from the next academic year. For all assets in the landbank pipeline (c. 376 MEUR of estimated investment value), the permitting process continues but no decision on starting up the construction has been taken.

If all committed acquisitions and projects are completed, the portfolio will increase to approx. 3.6 billion EUR, with more than 26,100 lettable student units.

5. LTV

The LTV as at 31 March 2023 was 52.64%, compared to 51.39% as at 31 December 2022.

2. Financing

As at 31 March 2023, the Company had concluded financing agreements with 19 lenders for a total amount of 1,704 MEUR. The Company had drawn down a total of 1,612 MEUR in financing as at 31 March 2023.

The Company strives to stagger the loan maturities: the average maturity is 4.79 years as at 31 March 2023. This does not include CP notes, which are all short-term.

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

Furthermore, Xior is to a large extent protected against a rising interest rate climate by the long-term hedging of its existing debt position, whereby, as at 31 March 2023, 83% of the financing (1,612 MEUR) is hedged for a term of 6.41 years, either via Interest Rate Swap agreements (833 MEUR) or via fixed interest rates (500 MEUR). Since 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 Q1 2023 was 2.37% (Q1 2022: 1.79%).

3. Major realisations first quarter of 2023

Closing Rue Mélot Namur

In 2019, an agreement was signed for the acquisition of a to be developed student complex in Namur. After development, this building would be purchased by Xior. The building was meanwhile completed and, consequently, on 9 January 2023, the transfer of the shares of the company AXS Namur IV (in the meantime the name was changed to Xior Namur) was completed.

Termination of the intention of acquisition Aachen BlueGate

On 22 February 2023, Xior announced the termination of the previously announced letter of intention of acquisition of the Aachen BlueGate project (total investment value 150 MEUR). The agreement was terminated by mutual consent and without compensation. As a result, the investment planned in Q3/Q4 2023 will therefore not take place. For more information, see the press release of 22 February 2023.

Xior exercises the postponement right final part Basecamp transaction

On 31 March 2023, Xior notified that, as provided in the transaction documentation for the Basecamp transaction, it had exercised the postponement right of the final part of this transaction, consisting of the acquisition of the Basecamp group's management and development companies, for a minimum of six months and a maximum of one year. As a result of invoking this postponement right, Xior will remunerate the first tranche of the acquisition price, c. 36 MEUR, in shares at an issue price of 44 EUR on 25 April 2023. The postponement of this final part of the Basecamp transaction has no impact on the previously announced earnings and dividend forecast for 2023, namely 2.20 EUR EPS and 1.76 EUR DPS and has no negative impact on the leverage. For more information, see the press release dated 31 March 2023.

4. Important events after the end of the first quarter

Update divestment programme

As announced in the press release of 19 April 2023, Xior is further accelerating its divestment program with 170 MEUR of additional identified divestments. More concrete information on this will be published around the half year-results.

Capital increase of c. 38 MEUR

On 25 April 2023 a capital increase of c. 38 MEUR took place and resulted in the issue of 865,618 new shares at an issue price of 44 EUR per share. This capital raise was in relation to the final part of the Basecamp transaction, in particular the contribution of the Basecamp management and development activities. The vast majority of these shares are also subject to a 6-month lock-up, as described in the securities note dated 13 September 2022. The new shares will be listed on the stock exchange from 27 April 2023.

5. Operational update

5.1 ESG update

Xior published its 2022 sustainability report on 19 April 2023. This report is available on Xior's website and includes Xior's main sustainability achievements in 2022.

CO2 reduction targets submitted to SBTi: Xior submitted its STBi CO2 reduction targets on 11 April 2023. This plan maps Xior's road to net zero carbon by 2050. By 2030, Xior will have reduced her scope 1 & 2 CO2

footprint by 42% compared to 2020. The targets are now being reviewed by SBTi and as soon as they are validated Xior will provide more information on the CO2 targets and reduction plan.

Sustainable finance framework & affordable housing: In light of rising prices and concerns about more affordable student accommodation, Xior's sustainable finance framework was also expanded to include social criteria based on affordability and social pricing.

Energy awareness and monitoring: The global energy crisis and the rise in energy prices last year showed once again the importance of energy-efficient homes, which Xior continues to invest in. Xior made sure to communicate quickly and clearly about energy prices to its students, so that they too would not face any surprises. The Xior teams also launched campaigns to make all students aware about their own consumption. Xior continues to monitor the situation closely, and is now in the process of launching energy monitoring systems so that we can be even more responsive and further optimise our portfolio.

Ethics & Esg committee and ethics audit: our first ESG & Ethics committee took place at the end of 2022, where further strategic thinking about our objectives and how to achieve them took place with a clear ambition to embed Xior's ESG ambitions throughout the organisation and raise awareness among all employees. The first full Ethics audit took place in December 2022.

New supplier code of conduct: Xior's suppliers, subcontractors, external service providers and other business partners are important actors allowing Xior to serve all of its stakeholders. Therefore, Xior is committed to work with suppliers who share the same principles of sustainability and ethical behavior as Xior itself. Xior requires commitment to responsible business practices and sustainable development from every partner. This code sets standards for ethical and fair business conduct and describes how Xior expects its suppliers to treat people, conduct business and improve the environment in cooperation with other parties.

5.2 Update on rental season –Demand for student rooms continues to boost rental season

Xior's rental season is running smoothly thanks to the healthy student market, with a continued rush for student rooms due to the ongoing shortage of quality student housing across Europe. As in the past two years, there is again a massive search for student rooms and the rental season is already running at full speed in many cities. In some of the countries applications were already flooding in at the end of last year which led once more to an earlier start of the rental season for next academic year. In the cities were the rental season already started, high retention rates were observed (up to 70%) leading to some of the student cities like Ghent and Leuven to be fully rented out in no-time. This high interest and fast rental activity enables Xior to pass on inflation without having an effect on the increasing demand for student rooms. In the countries where the rental season usually starts later, Xior is already seeing high volumes of applications, resulting in waiting lists.

5.3 Optimalisation of the portfolio – divestment program

Xior announced last year a divestment programme of its least efficient, least sustainable or non-core assets to optimise its portfolio and control its leverage. On 19 April 2023 Xior published an update on this divestment programme:

  • The first phase of this divestment programme with a total of 60 MEUR identified assets has already been fully realised. These assets have either already been sold, or are under an agreement/binding offer, or under exclusivity with an expected realisation before year-end and a sales value at least equal to book value.
  • Xior remains committed to its divestment programme and is further accelerating this through the announcement of a second, more substantial phase with 11 c. 170 MEUR of additional identified divestments. In order to preserve the confidentiality of the ongoing bidding process, Xior cannot currently provide further details on the properties involved. Xior expects to provide more information on this upon publication of the half-year results are published here.
  • Full completion of both phases of the divestment programme is expected before the end of 2023, which would have a positive impact on the LTV of around 3.8% pro forma per 31 March 2023.

6. Growth prospects

Based on the information available as of now, Xior confirms its forecast EPRA earnings for 2023. The company expects EPRA earnings per share of at least 2.20 EUR for financial year 2023, which represents an increase of 6.3% over earnings in 2022 (2.07 EUR per share). This represents a significant increase of 22% in earnings per share over the last two years (compared to 1.80 EUR per share in 2021). Xior expects a gross dividend per share of 1.76 EUR for 2023 with a minimum payout of 80%. Given the current uncertain macroeconomic environment, long-term balance-sheet discipline remains the key focus, to reduce the loan-to-value back to around 50%.

In 2023 as a whole, Xior is expecting an occupancy rate similar to the current rate.
