DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, PARTNERS AND CLIENTS,

It is my pleasure to present to you this financial report of Echo Investment for the first quarter of 2021, keeping stable financial position. At that time Echo Investment generated a net profit of PLN 24.5 million, that mainly resulted from the value increase of projects under construction and hand over of 154 apartments to clients. The result was also influenced by the valuation of Resi4Rent projects.

Residential sector

Taking into account the new reality in which we operate, social trends, and changing client preferences, we focus on growing the residential sector. We are ready to implement this plan. In recent years, we have focused on the purchase of large plots of land, where complex and perfectly designed attractive parts of the city with a dominant residential function can be built. Additionally, in April this year, we finalised the purchase of a 66% stake in the Wrocław-based property developer Archicom, as a result of which the Echo-Archicom group has become the biggest residential developer in Poland.

From the beginning of the year to the end of March 2021, we sold 463 apartments, improving the result achieved in the same period last year by 16%. We handed over 154 units to clients.

We are constantly expanding our offer and only in 2021 as the Echo-Archicom group we will start construction of 7,000 apartments for sale and rent.

Resi4Rent

We are consistently developing Resi4Rent - the largest private company with apartments for rent in Poland. At the end of the first quarter of 2021, Resi4Rent owned 40% of the finished units managed by institutional investors. Since the beginning of this year, the company launched 600 apartments in two projects in Warsaw. Within the next months, Resi4Rent will complete another 460 apartments and by the end of the year it will have 2,300 apartments in operation and more than 3,000 units under construction. Ultimately, by 2025, Resi4Rent will offer 10,000 apartments in the six largest Polish cities and it will be the biggest company offering apartments for rent.

Commercial property sector

Currently we have office buildings under construction with a total leasable area of approx. 100,000 sqm and another 206,000 sqm are in the planning stage. In the first quarter we started the construction of an office complex Brain Park in Kraków. It will encompass over 43,000 sqm of modern work space, surrounded by a large green area. Such attractive projects attract renowned tenants and, consequently, long-term investors.

In March 2021, we sold the Villa Office building of Warsaw Brewery complex. We are conducting advanced talks about the sale of other buildings, which should soon result in signed sale contracts. With an excellent location, good architecture and individual approach to clients, our office buildings are a stable, long-term investment for funds and financial institutions. The first quarter also brought an increased interest from tenants which resulted in contracts signed for 40,000 sqm. We are also in ongoing process of many lease negotiations and this proves that people are coming back to the offices.

Taking into account the new reality in which we operate, social trends, and changing client preferences, we focus on growing the residential sector. We are ready to implement this plan. In recent years, we have focused on the purchase of large plots of land, where complex and perfectly designed attractive parts of the city with a dominant residential function can be built. Additionally, in April this year, we finalised the purchase of a 66% stake in the Wrocław-based property developer Archicom, as a result of which the Echo-Archicom group has become the biggest residential developer in Poland.

In retail segment, in the first quarter of 2021 we can highlight two significant lease agreements. We leased 8,500 sqm of retail space to Kaufland chain in the Pasaż Opieńskiego shopping center in Poznań, while in Łódź Fuzja we have signed an agreement with Netto. After the difficult time of lock-down, the first restaurants, cafes and service points were opened in Warsaw Brewery have been attracting crowds of Warsaw residents every day. Already today, I invite you to other attractive places, such as the craft Warsaw Brewery, the food hall in the Cellars or the long-awaited restaurant of the famous RL7, which will open in the coming weeks.

Financial position

Echo Investment enjoys a stable financial standing. The Group maintains a high cash position: at the end of the first quarter it was over PLN 688 million. The value of our assets amounts to nearly PLN 5.8 billion, nearly 15% higher than a year ago. This is in line with our strategy to strengthen our position as a stable and diversified leader in the development sector. We continue to observe the changes in the economy caused by the pandemic and carefully analyze our plans for the coming months. The priority is to maintain a strong financial position and keep growing in the residential segment to take the leading position.

I encourage you to read our financial report for first quarter of 2021 in detail.

Yours sincerely

Nicklas Lindberg CEO OF ECHO INVESTMENT

Echo Investment is one of the biggest real estate development companies operating in Poland. The Company is active in three sectors: office, retail and residential. In accordance with the strategy of profitable growth, Echo Investment is going to be one of the leaders in each of the three sectors. This is going to translate into optimum use of resources and adequately large scale of activity.

Residential segment – market outlook and Echo Investment business activities

9.1 Residential market in Poland

The first quarter of 2021 has proven to be record-breaking in terms of a number of apartments sold in total on the primary market in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, the Tri-City, Poznań and Łódź – according to JLL data. The sale of 19,500 units marked a 40% increase compared to Q4 2020, and a 3% increase compared to Q1 2020. Moreover, 13,900 units were launched for sale, 14% more than the previous quarter and 7% more than the same period in 2020. It is expected that some of the new supply - both for seasonal reasons and due to pandemic restrictions - will be postponed to May or June this year. There were 42,100 units on developers' offer at the end of March 2021, falling to the lowest level since 2014. According to JLL experts, at the same time, a strong determination of developers to complete deficiencies in their offer was noticeable, which was reflected in the record numbers of building permits issued in recent months. How well the volume and quality of the offering can be rebuilt will determine sales in the

months ahead, and will show how much of the excellent first quarter sales were related to postponed during the pandemic in 2020, and how much it sets a ceiling for the following quarters of 2021.

According to JLL experts, data on the sales volume and its relation to a new supply in Q1 2021 in the six largest residential markets in Poland indicates that we are dealing with a scenario of demand surplus over supply and continuation of the trend of rising price. Those who are looking for an apartment to satisfy their own housing needs are increasingly being joined by those who consider the purchase of an apartment as a way to protect their savings from losing value. It may also be assumed that among the buyers there are also persons focused primarily on gaining benefits from the expected increase in residential prices, including those who support their speculative purchases with loans.

  • Very optimistic

In Q1 2021 Echo Investment handed over 154 units to clients.

Following its strategic goal of increasing its presence in the residential segment, on February 8, 2021 Echo Investment signed a preliminary agreement to purchase a 66% stake in the Wrocław-based company Archicom from its founders. After the transaction was finalized on April 22, 2021, the Echo-Archicom group became the largest residential developer in Poland. In 2021 the group will start to construct a total of 7,000 apartments for sale and for rent. The acquisition is in line with Echo Investment's strategic goal of becoming a nationwide leader in the residential segment. At the end of 2020, Archicom had about 2 thousand apartments under construction and 4.2 thousand apartments in preparation in Wrocław and Kraków.

Archicom has been operating mainly in the Lower Silesian market since 1986 and has been listed on the Stock Exchange since 2016. The company has grown from a family-owned design firm and has 160 completed projects to its credit, including the revitalized complex Browary Wrocławskie, the award-winning Olimpia Port residential estate and the first exclusive Lofty Platinum in Wrocław. Archicom is a strong, recognizable brand with an almost 15% share in the Wrocław residential market. Both companies will operate here under a common strategy and in one group of companies. Combining the strengths of both companies confirms the group as the strongest developer with the largest potential in Wrocław.

9.3 Echo Investment's achievements in the segment of apartments for rent

Among the largest projects were Skyliner (48.5 thousand sqm) and Generation Park Y (44.2 thousand sqm). Among regional cities, the office space growth was recorded only in the Tri-City (nearly 25 thousand sqm) and in Kraków (21.4 thousand sqm).

Colliers experts report that the vacancy rate in Warsaw at the end of Q1 2021 was 11.4% (up by 1.5 pp. compared to Q4 2020 and by 3.9 pp. compared to Q1 2020), which means that there is approximately 691.6 thousand sqm of office space is available in the city. Among regional cities, the highest vacancy rate was observed in Łódź (16.9%) and the lowest in Szczecin (7.4%). In Q1 2021, the demand for office space in 9 largest markets in Poland amounted to 207.5 thousand sqm, a decrease of approximately 30% compared to Q4 2020. The largest contract signed in Warsaw concerned the lease of 9.8 thousand sqm by the City Transport Authority in the building Fabryka PZO. In turn, the highest tenant activity among regional cities was recorded in the Tricity (37.9 thousand sqm).

The structure of agreements concluded in Q1 2021 in Warsaw was dominated by new contracts, which accounted for 66% of the total demand. In regional cities, renegotiations had the biggest share in the transaction volume (45%). At the end of the first quarter of 2021, the amount of space offered for sublease grew dynamically, reaching over 130,000 sqm in Warsaw and over 125,000 sqm in regional cities.

According to Colliers advisors, companies have been conducting analyses of work models, both to optimize costs and to find the best solution that will help achieve a balance between office working and working remotely. Offices will be treated as a place for interaction, creative meetings, exchange of ideas and thoughts. As part of the new function, it will improve team and company identity building, a sense of belonging to organizations. This, according to the research, is what employees miss most when working remotely.

At the end of Q1 2021, Echo Investment had office buildings under construction with a total leasable area of approx. 100 thousand sqm. Another 206 thousand sqm are in the planning stage.

In the first quarter tenants moved into the second office building in the Moje Miejsce project in Warsaw. Thus, the urban quarter combining offices, apartments and commercial premises was completed. The second office building of the project, with an area of over 17 thousand sqm, was built within 17 months according to the planned schedule.

In the first quarter Echo Investment started the construction of an office complex Brain Park in Kraków. More than 43 thousand sqm of modern work space and almost 10 thousand sqm of green areas will be built at Aleja Pokoju, one of the main arteries of the city. The first stage of the project will be completed in the third quarter of 2022 and will offer over 29 thousand. sqm of office space.

In March Echo Investment sold the building of Villa Offices, which is part of the complex Warsaw Brewery. The building was purchased by KGAL Group, a leading independent investment and asset manager, for approximately €86.7 million. This transaction demonstrates the strong interest of both investors and tenants in mixed-use, urban "destination" projects.

CitySpace, a Polish operator of flexible serviced offices owned by Echo Investment, continues its dynamic growth. The operator currently holds nearly 3,000 desks on 21,000 sqm of flexible space in 5 Polish cities. In the first quarter of this year the operator introduced CitySpace App, an application to manage modern office space owned by the company. The mobile application provides an easy and secure way to book day offices, hot desks and meeting rooms in all 11 CitySpace office centers in Poland, located in Warsaw, Wrocław, Kraków, Katowice and Gdańsk. Moreover, the application allows to make online payments or check personalized information about the office.

10.3 Retail real estate market in Poland

Despite the undoubtedly huge impact of the pandemic on the retail market in Poland, the first quarter of 2021, with the estimated transaction value of around €190 million, was quite unexpectedly the second strongest Q1 since 2015.

According to JLL. 92,800 sqm of retail space was delivered in Q1 2021, that is comparable to last year. Interestingly, the structure of the new supply includes only two large-size formats: stand-alone stores (55%) and retail parks (31%). The remaining 14% (13,000 sqm) was opened in centers of everyday shopping (GLA less than 5,000 sqm). The projected structure of the new supply in 2021 reflects the trend of doing convenience shopping in close localities that intensified during the pandemic. In terms of leasable space, retail parks (36%) and stand-alone stores (27%) will dominate among new facilities. New shopping centres and everyday stores will account for a similar share of 18-19% each. This is a significant change as the dominant format developed in the Polish market until recently were shopping centres. After the end of the third lockdown, a decline in online sales was observed in most product categories, especially those classified as "textiles, clothing, footwear" (from 44.0% in January to 23.8% in February). Similar movements can be expected with the end of the fourth lockdown.

Despite the turmoil on the retail market, a number of international chains are planning their expansion in Poland. In Q1 2021, three foreign brands decided to open their first store in our country, including two new furniture brands, Duxiana from Sweden and Rolf Benz from Germany, which opened their stores in interior design centres in Kraków and Warsaw. The third brand is a clinic DentalPro from Italy, which was opened in Manufaktura in Łódź.

10.4 Echo Investment's achievements in the commercial property segment

The key events for Echo Investment's retail projects in Q1 were two lease agreements signed with strategic partners.

In March Echo Investment leased 8,500 sqm of retail space to Kaufland in the Pasaż Opieńskiego shopping centre at Opieńskiego Street in Poznań. The facility, which apart from the food business operator also includes a shopping arcade with a range of stores and service outlets, is managed by Echo Investment.

In the first quarter of 2021, the developer also signed an agreement with the Netto chain, which will open a store in its new form in the multifunctional retail part of Fuzja that is under construction. The concept Netto 3.0, which focuses on elegant, open spaces and high-quality natural products, will perfectly fit in with the industrial character of the project. The chain will occupy nearly 1.2 thousand square metres in one of the historical buildings of Fuzja at Tymienieckiego Street.

21 The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operations of Echo Investment Group

Activities of Echo Investment S.A. capital group since March 2020 has been exposed to a number of macroeconomic and environmental risks associated with the spread of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and COV-ID-19. The restrictions introduced by the government directly affected the course of business processes and the organization of the Group's work. On March 17, 2020, Echo Investment S.A. published a current report on the potential impact of the pandemic on the Company's operations, listing potential areas of impact and associated risks. The impact of a pandemic is analyzed on an ongoing basis to adapt the strategy and method of operation to the changing restrictions.

Retail sector

In the first quarter of 2021 retail sector was in the period of the so-called "hard lockdown" - (January 2021 and March 2021) when the operations of stores and restaurants in shopping centers was limited (except for grocery stores, drugstores, pharmacies, pet food stores and services). In case of the Echo Investment Group, this concerned the Libero shopping center in Katowice and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw (in which the Group holds a 30% stake). During the lockdown periods, the operations of most tenants in both facilities were very limited. Maintaining the activities of the remaining tenants required taking extra precautions, providing security materials, and maintaining the facility's service (security, cleaning, day-to-day operations). "Defrosting" the tenants' operations from the beginning of May involve the need to renegotiate leases and reach an agreement with the tenants on incurring losses incurred during the closing.

In line with its strategy, Echo Investment aims to reach an agreement with the tenants as soon as possible after each lockdown and to return Libero and Galeria Młociny to normal operations as soon as possible. As a result of the pandemic, the list of tenants changed slightly by single service outlets, whose owners declared bankruptcy.

Currently, Echo Investment is focusing on signing short-term 1-2 month agreements, based on the current situation of tenants and their individual standings. Both managers of both shopping centres and their tenants are aware of the unpredictability of the situation in the long term. Both parties assume to return to negotiating long-term annexes in the middle of the year, when the situation regarding the end of the epidemic should be more predictable. Then it will be easier to assess the situation of individual tenants, their restructuring and development plans.

Office sector

In the first quarter of 2021, the office market saw a revival among tenants and investors. The most important task was maintaining negotiations on leasing space in projects built by the company and continuing the sales processes of the finished buildings.

In Q1 2021 the Group has sold Villa Offices building in the Warsaw Brewery complex, what stabilised the long-term cash-flow. Promising sale negotiations are also underway regarding the Malthouse Offices and Moje Miejsce office buildings in Warsaw (signed letters of intent). The group also returned to sale process of the Face2Face office buildings in Katowice (signed letters of intent).

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the operations and results of the Echo Investment Group in the future

The occurrence of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter and possible escalation of its course in the future may result in the need to revise certain assumptions adopted in the preparation of the financial statements, which may lead to changes in accounting estimates in subsequent reporting periods. The Management Board of the Company and the Group analyzed the areas related to the estimated values and areas in the financial statements that are affected by the situation. The results of this analysis indicate the following potential impact areas.

It is possible that the continuation of the pandemic will limit the expansion of companies in Poland, which will result in a decrease in demand for office space. This may result in a lower pace of new buildings leasing and a decline in rental rates. This situation may lead to a slowdown of the construction of buildings at an early stage of construction and a fair value decrease of completed buildings. In the case of buildings that are ready, due to their fair value decrease, in an extreme situation, the covenants provided for in loan agreements may be broken and the need to repay part of the loan faster. When it comes to completed buildings, the pandemic may also lead to lower investors' interest in purchasing such buildings and, as a consequence, to postponed sale of them.

The Management Board of Echo Investment also indicates that in the case of shopping centers: Libero in Katowice and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw (in which the Group holds a 30% stake), the development of the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns may result in bankruptcy of some tenants, which in practice may mean termination of some lease agreements . The consequence could be a reduction in the rental ratios, future revenues and the fair value of both projects. The consequence of such a situation may be the breach of covenants provided for in the loan agreements and the need to repay part of the loan faster. Moreover, if further restrictions on the activities of shopping centers are introduced, rental income may be lost, which may also lead to a reduction in value and violation of covenants.

At this stage, the Company is not able to reliably estimate the impact of the above events on the value of investment properties, as the situation is changing. In the Management Board opinion, in the moderate scale of the pandemic, the LTV covenants, which are the ratio of bank financing to the market value of real estate, are not endangered.

The prolonged pandemic and possible new restrictions may slow down the sale of apartments or discourage some potential clients from concluding transactions. It could lead to a lower than planned sale of apartments, which will translate into lower revenues and shifting the realization of revenues and profits from the sale of apartments to the following years.

Currently, the office buildings built by the Group are provided with financing. Residential projects are mainly financed by prepayments from clients. The Group financial situation remains stabile, i.a. thanks to the sale of the Villa Offices building in Warsaw in Q1 2021. The sales processes of further assets held for sale within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date are processing as planned. In Q1 2021, the Company also placed bonds with a total value of PLN 195 million. Taking all above into consideration, the Management Board does not currently identify a significant threat related to the impact of the development of the coronavirus epidemic on the Company's liquidity or its ability to continue operation, despite the expected need to pay for a controlling stake in Archicom. The Management Board monitors the potential impact on an ongoing basis and takes all possible steps to mitigate any negative effects for the Group.
