II. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

The financial information for the period ending on 31 March 2019 was drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The figures published represent consolidated figures; in line with the relevant legislation, participations in other companies and subsidiaries are consolidated.

1. Net rental result

In the first quarter of 2019, Xior achieved a net rental result of KEUR 10,293, compared to KEUR 6,355 in the first quarter of 2018. This is a 62% increase. This net rental result will continue to increase throughout the next quarters, as certain acquisitions will generate rental income only during the course of 2019. There are also a number of properties under construction or being refurbished that will only contribute to rental income in the course of 2019.

This mainly relates to the following properties:

  • Ariënsplein, Enschede: self-contained units under construction, extra rental income (partially) envisaged from May 2019;
  • Alma, Brussels: under construction, rental income envisaged from October 2019;
  • Woodskot, Brussels: under construction, rental income envisaged from October 2019;
  • Bonnefanten, Maastricht: under construction, rental income envisaged from October 2019;
  • Xior Diagonal Besos, Barcelona: under construction, rental income envisaged from Q3 2019.

For the first quarter of 2019, the average occupancy rate of the property portfolio was 98.5%.

2. EPRA earnings

The EPRA earnings (excluding the portfolio result, excluding the impact of deferred taxes with regard to IAS 40 adjustments and excluding the impact of the variation in fair value of the financial assets and liabilities) amount to KEUR 4,459, compared to KEUR 2,463 in Q1 2018. The EPRA earnings after IFRIC 21 adjustment amount to KEUR 5,692 on 31 March 2019 compared to KEUR 3,221 in Q1 2018.

The EPRA earnings per share10 amount to EUR 0.32. After the IFRIC 21 adjustment, this amounts to EUR 0.41 per share.

10 The calculation of the EPRA earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares as at 31 March 2019, which is 13,768,815.

29 April 2019 – Embargo until 17:40 (CET)

As a result of the application of the 'IFRIC 21 levies' accounting regulations (implemented in the 2015 financial year), the figures dated 31 March 2019 include a provision for the entire year of 2018 with regard to immoveable property 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 2019, 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 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 as at 31 March 2019 would increase by KEUR 1,233. In this hypothesis, the EPRA earnings would be KEUR 5,692.

3. Net result

The net result is negative and amounts to KEUR -466 as at 31 March 2019, compared to KEUR 2,016 as at 31 March 2018. The net result per share stands at EUR -0.03.11

The net result includes the impact of variations in the fair value of investment property, other portfolio results, deferred taxes with regard to the effects of IAS 40 and variations in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The EPRA earnings are the net result corrected for the impacts set out above.

4. Fair value of the property portfolio

As at 31 March 2019, the portfolio consists of 5,505 lettable student units. The total property portfolio is valued at KEUR 819,238 as at 31 March 2019.

If all committed acquisitions and projects are implemented, this increase will go up to approximately EUR 1.1 billion, with more than 8,450 lettable student units.

5. Debt ratio and increase in equity

As at 31 March 2019, the debt ratio was 49.24% compared to 49.32% on 31 December 2018.

III. FINANCING

As at 31 March 2019, the Company had concluded financing agreements with ING Belgium SA/NV, Belfius Bank SA/NV, KBC Bank SA/NV, BNP Paribas Fortis SA/NV, Argenta Spaarbank SA/NV, vdk bank, Bank Nagelmackers and Caisse d'Epargne. ING Belgium SA/NV provided a total of MEUR 125, Belfius Bank SA/NV MEUR 120, KBC Bank SA/NV MEUR 55, BNP Paribas Fortis SA/NV MEUR 75, Argenta Spaarbank SA/NV MEUR 50, vdk bank MEUR 10, Bank Nagelmackers MEUR 10 and Caisse d'Epargne MEUR 25. A total of MEUR 410.5 in financing had been drawn down as at 31 March 2019.

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

29 April 2019 – Embargo until 17:40 (CET)

Regulated information

New financing agreements were concluded with Belfius Bank for the sum of MEUR 25 and with ING Bank for the sum of MEUR 25 in the course of Q1 2019.

IV. KEY PROJECTS COMPLETED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019

- Acquisition of a student complex in Barcelona

On 13 March 2019, Xior signed an agreement to acquire a student complex to be developed in Barcelona12. This is a brand-new student residence located in the recently opened new campus of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) (with 3,500 students and 400 professors and researchers), near the beach and the trendy 22@ district. The residence will have 191 self-contained rooms and will offer all modern facilities, such as an in-house restaurant, a gym, study rooms, a swimming pool and a roof terrace.

The building is fully furnished and was constructed based on a 50-year concession (until 2067). Its completion is expected by the summer rental season of 2019 (when it will start to generate rental income). The seller has given a 50% rental guarantee for the building's occupancy during the summer months (July and August) for a duration of 3 years (from 2019). This allows Xior to find occupants for the remaining units during the summer holidays in collaboration with the university, local companies and summer traineeship providers. During the academic year, the units are rented out under 10-month contracts. The concession was awarded and is actively managed by a consortium made up by the UPC and three local authorities (Catalonia, Barcelona and Besòs), with whom Xior expects to be working closely and productively in order to make the residence and the entire campus a success.

The transaction will take place through the acquisition of all shares of the relevant project company of LIFE, a Belgian developer with which Xior has already successfully collaborated in the past. The acquisition is subject to various suspensive conditions, including a positive decision by the consortium regarding the transfer.

12 See the press release dated 13 March 2019.

29 April 2019 – Embargo until 17:40 (CET)

Regulated information

The total investment value is approximately MEUR 25.5, with an expected initial yield of approximately 7%.

- Agreement on the development in a joint venture structure of two student properties in Portugal

On 13 March 2019, Xior signed a deal for the redevelopment of a student property in Lisbon13 and in Porto through a joint venture structure.

The project in Lisbon (Artur Lamas) concerns a student residence of 124 units (254 beds) and 14 parking spaces on a fully-owned greenfield site. This residence was already the subject of a 12-year triple net lease agreement with Odalys Portugal at a fixed rent. The project will also house a laundry room, fitness room, study room, cafeteria and reception.

The development will take place in a joint venture structure with parties including Promiris, a Belgian company with which Xior has already successfully collaborated for projects in Belgium. Xior's entry will be phased: 50% of the joint venture shares will be purchased upon obtaining the necessary administrative assurances that the permit will be obtained (under certain suspensive conditions) and the remaining 50% will be acquired upon completion. Completion is planned in 2021. Entry is scheduled to take place later this year.

The project in Porto (Granjo) concerns the redevelopment of an existing, wholly-owned building into a student complex with 211 units (420 beds) and 3 parking spaces. The building will also house a laundry room, reception, fitness room and cafeteria. The transaction also includes 16 residential apartments to be realised under the project.

Odalys Portugal will also act as the operator and tenant on a triple net basis (with a guarantee by the Odalys Groupe) for 12 years at an annually increasing rent, which the seller will guarantee and supplement during the first 7 years (up to the level that is reached in year 7). This ensures a stable, high rent for Xior.

The development will be structured in the same way as the Lisbon project in a joint venture – also involving Promiris – with a phased entry. Completion is expected in the second half of 2021.

The total investment value of both projects is approximately MEUR 28.2. The expected theoretical gross initial yield of the student housing is approximately 8%14 .

13 See the press release dated 13 March 2019.

14 In order to compare the development to other properties in the portfolio that are let directly to students where communications always refer to the gross yields, the gross initial yield was calculated using a theoretical gross basis.

- ING green loan

On 8 February 2019, Xior concluded a green loan with ING for the sum of MEUR 25. The loan is divided into two tranches, with the first tranche of MEUR 10 having a duration of 4 years and the second tranche of MEUR 15 having a duration of 5 years and 3 months.

- Belfius loan

A new financing agreement was concluded in the course of January 2019 with Belfius Bank for the sum of MEUR 25 and with a maturity of 6 years.

- Acquisition of project land in Ghent

On 17 January 2019, Xior acquired a project land at Bagattenstraat, a prime location in the centre of Ghent. Xior aims to develop a quality student property there.

V. IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER

- Acquisition of Eendrachtskade, Groningen

On 10 April 2019, Xior acquired a redevelopment project in Groningen15 with at least 225 residential units, offices and 180 parking spaces. This transaction has an anticipated investment value of approximately MEUR 46 and is expected to have an initial yield of 6.2%. Completion and commissioning are planned for Q4 2020. The existing building is being acquired by procuring 100% of the shares in the SPV. Renovation work will begin after a permit has been obtained. Current rental income of MEUR 2 in total will continue to be generated until Q4 2020.

- Completion of Karspeldreef, Amsterdam

On 12 July 2018, Xior signed a purchase agreement resulting from the exercise of its purchase option with regard to a site located in Amsterdam. This site, which has a long-term lease, is located on Karspeldreef, near Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena Station. Xior plans to redevelop a total of 320 self-contained student units on this site. This office building reconversion project consists of 6 connected buildings, each with its own facilities (such as an elevator). The building will also have 170 parking spaces. The announced expected investment value will be around MEUR 55 (subject to the further adjustment of the number of units and the expected rental values during the project's development). The vendors will provide a yield guarantee for this project from 1 September 2018, and will also provide a one-year rental guarantee. This acquisition was successfully completed on 8 April 2019.

- BNP Paribas Fortis loan

On 8 April 2019, Xior took out an additional loan with BNP Paribas Fortis for the sum of MEUR 25. The loan is divided into two tranches, the first tranche of MEUR 10 having a maturity of 6 years and 3 months and the second tranche of MEUR 15 having a maturity of 5 years.

VI. GROWTHPROSPECTS16

Xior has every intention of continuing to pursue its growth strategy in 2019 by adding quality student properties to its property portfolio and by completing the projects in its development pipeline. Xior is convinced that several attractive growth opportunities remain available in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal, particularly by expanding further in Belgium and in certain Dutch student cities where Xior is not (yet sufficiently) present, as well as expansion in the Iberian Peninsula17 .

For the 2019 financial year, the Company is anticipating EPRA earnings per share of EUR 1.60, an increase of 9.6% compared to 2018. It is also applying a target of EUR 1.30 for the gross dividend per share (an increase of 4% compared to 2018). Xior therefore expects a healthy increase in its earnings per share compared to the previous year even though the number of shares increased by 69% in the course of 2018 as a result of the successful capital increase in June 2018 and contributions in kind in March and December. This capital increase is one of the reasons why Xior managed to achieve a strong project development pipeline, which will start to contribute fully to the return and the intended further growth of the portfolio, EPRA earnings and dividend in the course of 2019 and 2020.

Xior expects the debt ratio to be around 55% as a result of the further implementation of the growth strategy.

In 2019, Xior is expecting an occupancy rate that is similar to the current rate.

16 These forecasts are based on the current situation and do not account for unforeseen circumstances (such as a deterioration of the economic and financial climate and/or the materialisation of risks to which the Company and its activities are exposed). Forecasts regarding dividends are subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting.
