Report of the Board of Directors on the State of Corporate Affairs for the period ended March 31, 2024

The Board of Directors of Mivne Real Estate (K.D.) Ltd. is honored to submit the Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Company") for the period ended March 31, 2024 ("The Reported Period" and the "Quarterly Financial Statements", as the case may be). This report should be read in conjunction with the 2023 annual report published by the Company on March 27, 2024 (reference no.: 2024-01-032490) (hereinafter: "the 2023 Periodic Report"), included herein by way of reference.

Business Environment

Description of the Company and its Business Environment

The company has two main areas of activity as of the reported date:

    1. The field of cash-generating properties within this framework the Company engages, by itself and through its investees, in varied real estate activity centering on Israel. For more information, see section 1.2 of Chapter A (Report on corporate affairs) of the 2023 Periodic Report. The Company (and associates) own 1,934 thousand m2 of rental areas, of which 1,636 thousand m2in Israel.
    1. Residential real estate development field the Company is active in the development of residential real estate in Israel including locating, initiating, planning, developing, building, marketing and selling residential construction in Israel. The Company has land reserves and unused rights to the amount of 769,000 m² and property under construction and planning to the amount of 824,000 m².

2024 started out as one of the most complicated and challenging years for the Israeli economy, with the Iron Swords war ongoing, which started on October 7, 2023 with a vicious, murderous surprise attack launched by terrorist organization Hamas from the Gaza Strip. In 2023, even prior to this war, the Israeli economy faced soaring inflation, high interest rates and a credit crunch, all in view of the judicial reform and ensuing wave of civil protests.

These trends were slightly more moderate in the first quarter of 2024 when, after the Report Date, the Bank of Israel kept the interest rate unchanged despite the war and as opposed to the more moderate trend of market interest rates, in order to avoid, inter alia, further devaluation of the NIS. According to the macro-economic forecast issued by the Bank of Israel Research Division in April 2024 ("the Revised Forecast") 1, interest should be at 3.75% in the first quarter of 2025.

The moderation trend in the CPI, which started in late 2023, continued in the first quarter of 2024, but in March and in April 2024, the CPI increased by 1.4%. Accordingly, the Bank of Israel in its revised forecast, revised the annual inflation forecast, from 2.4% to 2.7%. The increase in CPI has led to an increase in the Company's financing costs. Against this, the Company's cashgenerating property in Israel, the current value of which is 11.6 billion NIS, is rented in CPI-linked

1 Macro-economic Forecast by the Research Division, April 2025, available on the Bank of Israel website athttps://www.boi.org.il/publications/pressreleases/8-4-2024/

rental agreements, and the Company sees this as long-term inflationary protection. As a result, the increase in CPI has led to an increase in the Company's revenues from building rentals and to an increase in the fair value of its properties.

In April 2024, after the report date, Iran launched an extensive single air strike against Israel, launching ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and UAVs from Iran to Israel. This attack was averted by the Air Defense system, in collaboration with other countries, among which the USA. Escalation vis-a-vis Iran may have significant impact on Israel, on the Middle East and on other countries involved.

The impact of the war may include higher construction costs due, inter alia, to the Turkish export ban on Israel, with discontinued export of construction materials such as concrete, iron and stone. Should this ban continue, construction companies would be required to find alternatives, which may be more costly. In addition, in such a state of continued warfare, a shortage may be created in personnel at the Company's construction sites or halts in activity for safety reasons, which may lead to delays in the timetables of competing development projects. As of the report issue date, the Company expects its current revenues to decrease by a non-material amount due to the war, and expects no significant delays in projects under development due to the war.

In the first quarter of 2024, rating agency Moody's lowered +Israel's credit rating from A1 / Stable outlook to A2 / Negative Outlook, in light of the risk of the fighting expanding to the north and expanding the fighting in Gaza, which significantly increase the geopolitical risks in the State of Israel and hurt the State's fiscal fortitude in the foreseeable future. International rating agency Fitch announced it was placing Israel's credit rating on the negative watchlist.

As of the report date, in view of this being a dynamic event associated with significant uncertainty, the impact of the continued war in Gaza and Israel's engagement on the Northern front on future Company operations is unknown. Company Management estimates, taking a long-term view, that in light of the broad geographic and segment distribution of the Company's assets, their positioning, their location and their occupancy rates, as well as in light of its financial fortitude, which is expressed, among other things, in high balances of cash and cash equivalents in its possession, the debt's average life span, and the fact that assets valued at NIS 8.4 billion are not encumbered, the exposure of the Company's business to the crisis, including with regard to compliance with current and anticipated obligations and compliance with financial covenants set forth in financing agreements and deeds of trust for Company debentures. At the same time, the Company estimates that the continuation of the conflict for an extended period of time and/or a full conflict on the northern front (or additional fronts) are expected to lead to significant and broader damage to the economy, which will include deepening the harm to private consumption and businesses, including Company tenants, and as a result will lead to a drop in redemptions and changes in additional economic parameters.

The assessments and forecasts presented in this section above, constitute forwardlooking information as defined in the Securities Law, 1968.

Events During and Subsequent to the Reported Period

Debt Raised

In January 2024 the Company issued 571,916,000 NIS NV debentures (Series 25) and 125,355,000 NIS NV debentures (Series 20) by way of a series expansion in return for a total of 525 million NIS and 143 million NIS, respectively. The effective yearly interest embodied in the debenture offering (Series 25) is 3.06% and in the debenture offering (Series 20) some 2.66%.

Purchase of Photo Voltaic Systems

In March 2024 the Company completed a transaction with Soleg Sun Ltd., a subsidiary (80%) of Sunflower Renewable Investments Ltd., to purchase 101 photovoltaic facilities installed on the rooftops of Group properties with a total existing output of 5 MW including all rights in connection with them in return for a total of 78 million NIS plus VAT. The Company intends to offer an upgrade of the existing systems and add further system, with the cost of these upgrades estimated at 30 million NIS. The Company estimates that as a result of the purchase and upgrades in question, the total output is expected to grow to 10 MW and the Company's yearly FFO is expected to grow in coming years to 15-17 million NIS per year.

Extension of shelf prospectus

On May 16, 2024, the Company announced that the Securities Authority had decided to extend the period for securities offers in accordance with the Company's shelf prospectus through May 25, 2025.

Strategic plan

On May 30, 2024, the Company Board of Directors approved a multi-annual strategic plan for the Company, for a 5-year period, in conformity with recommendations received, after a review process led by a strategic consulting firm. For more information see immediate report by the Company dated May 30, 2024 (reference no. 2024-01-054877).

The assessments and forecasts presented in this section above, constitute forwardlooking information as defined in the Securities Law, 1968.

The Company's Activity

As of March 31 2024, the Company's assets (on a consolidated basis), owned and leased, include 562 cash-generating properties spread out across Israel with a total area of 1.6 million m², not including properties under construction. The properties are rented to some 3,000 tenants, in contracts of various length. In addition, the Company has 24 projects in advanced construction and planning stages to the scope of 838 thousand m².

The occupancy rate of the Company's properties in Israel as of March 31, 2024 is 93.1% versus 92.7% on December 31, 2023.

* Including from solar activity. The increase in NOI in the first three months of 2024 compared to the corresponding period last year derives from an increase due to new rentals, an increase in rental fees in contract renewals and a decrease in net management expenses to the sum of 10 million NIS as well as an increase due to the increase in the CPI by NIS 7 million. This increase was offset by NIS 10 million for vacating areas being leased, primarily in the Achuzat Bayit compound in Tel Aviv.

** Most of the decrease derives from a one-time revenue of a property in France included in the period January-March 2023.

NOI NET OPERATING INCOME

The following is information on the Group's NOI (profit from the rental and operation of properties, less depreciation and amortization) in Israel:

Company management believes that NOI is an important parameter in valuing cashgenerating real estate. The result of dividing this Transition data by the commonly used discount rate in the geographic location of the property ("cap rate") is one of the indications of valuation of the property (beyond other indications, such as: market value of similar properties in the same area, sales price per m² of built area deriving from the latest transactions effected, etc.). In addition, NOI is used to measure the free cash flow available to service the financial debt taken to finance the property's purchase. We emphasize that the NOI:

    1. Does not present cash flows from regular activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting rules.
    1. Does not reflect cash available for the financing of the Group's entire cash flows, including its ability to distribute monies.
    1. Cannot be considered a replacement for reported net profit for purposes of evaluating the results of the Group's activities.

FFO Funds From Operations

FFO is a commonly used American, Canadian and European index used to provide additional knowledge on the results of the operations of cash-generating real estate companies, granting a proper basis for comparisons between cash-generating real estate companies. This index is not required by accounting rules. FFO, as defined, expresses net reported profit, less profits (or losses) from the sale of assets, less depreciation and amortization (for real estate) after neutralizing deferred taxes, losses from the early redemption of loans and non-cash flow expenses.

The Company believes that analysts, investors and shareholders may receive information with added value from the measurement of the results of the Company's activity on an FFO basis. The FFO index is used, among other things, by analysts in order to examine the dividend distribution rate from the operating results according to the FFO of real estate companies.

We emphasize that the FFO –

  • 1. Does not present cash flows from regular activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting rules.
  • 2. Does not reflect cash held by the Company and its ability to distribute it;
  • 3. Cannot be considered a replacement for reported net profit for purposes of evaluating the Group's operating results.

2024 Forecast

The following is the projected FFO from cash-generating properties and projected NOI for 2024:

The Company's forecast for its key operating results in 2024, based on the following working assumptions:

  • Known CPI as of March 31 2024.
  • Without the purchase of new properties and sale of properties as of the report date.
  • No material changes will occur in the business environment in which the Company is active in Israel beyond that stated in the "general environment" item in Chapter A of the Report on Corporate Business of the 2023 Periodic Report.
  • Company Management expects that most of the rental agreements expiring over the course of 2024 will be renewed.
  • Company management estimates that assuming that the "Iron Swords" War continues at its current intensity, the war's impact on the Company's business is not material.

Forward-looking information is any forecast, estimate, assessment or other information in the Company's possession as they are upon the publication of this report with regard to future events or issues, the materialization of which is uncertain and not under the sole control of the Company, and among other things, is subject, by nature, to significant chances of non-realization. Such information is influenced, among other things, by the business environment in which the Company is active and by the risk factors that characterize the Company's activity, including the state of the Israeli economy, the global health crisis, the global geopolitical crisis, changes in occupancy rates, in the CPI, in interest rates, and in rental fees, as well as the implications of the "Iron Swords" War, which was detailed in the "Business Environment" chapter above on the Israeli economy in general and on the Company's activity in particular. Changes in the business environment or the realization of any of the Company's risk factors may influence the Company's activity and its monetary results in a manner different than the assessments detailed above.

Dividend Policy

On March 26 2024 the Company's Board of Directors decided to distribute dividends with respect to 2023 amounting to 65 million NIS (0.08605 NIS per share).

On said date, the Company Board of Directors decided to adopt a dividend policy according to which the Company intends to distribute up to 50% of the Company's yearly FFO per year, taking into account the act that the ratio of the net financial debt to the CAP desired at the Company will not exceed 50%.

Note that the dividend policy in question is in the form of policy statements only and shall not be seen as a commitment by the Company to distribute dividends. Any dividend distribution shall be stipulated on a specific decision passed by the Company Board of Directors after examining the distribution tests in accordance with legal requirements taking the Company's business situation into account, as well as its expected cash flow, the Company's strategy and its business needs. In addition, the Company Board of Directors may change from time to time, at its sole discretion, the Company's dividend distribution policy.

Note also that within the framework of the above dividend distribution policy, the Company may make self-purchases of the Company's shares.

On April 9, 2024, the Company Board of Directors approved an outline for Company share buy-back, amounting up to NIS 180 million, in two stages as follows:

  • a. In stage 1, a buy-back plan was approved, amounting up to NIS 90 million (hereinafter: "Buy-back Plan" and "Buy-back Amount", respectively), such that any outstanding Buy-back Amount would be distributed as dividends for the final quarter of 2024, subject to a specific Board resolution, after review of statutory distribution tests, considering the state of Company affairs, its cash flow forecast, strategy and business needs. The Buy-back Plan would start one trading day after the approval date of the financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and would run through December 31, 2024. It would be conducted subject to ISA directive dated July 26, 2010, as revised in February 2021 (Position 199-8) with regard to Safe Haven protection for share buy-back by a corporation.
  • b. Execution of Stage 2 of the aforementioned outline, amounting up to a further NIS 90 million, is subject to approval by the Company Board of Directors.

Note that the aforementioned Buy-back outline of two stages is subject to the Company's dividends policy, and is an integral part of the implementation thereof.

For more information about the Buy-back Plan, see immediate report published by the Company on April 10, 2024 (reference no.: 2024-01-035752).

The Company Board of Directors would like to thank the Company's employees for their dedicated work during the reported period as well as the holders of the Company's securities for the trust they have placed in the Company.

The Company is acting to expand its involvement in the field of solar energy and the creation of green energy and over the course of recent years the Company increased its investment in the field. The Company is in the advanced stages of an extended project, a significant portion of which is also carried out along with a partner active in the field, to replace the roofs on properties in its possession across the country with new roofs on which solar energy systems are installed in order to allow the production of renewable energy, in accordance with a long-term agreement with the Electric Company to provide electricity for a period of up to 25 years. As of the publication of the report, the Company has filed requests to regulate 301 solar energy systems and a licensing process was completed for the installation of 374 systems with an output of 44.5 MW, of which 354 systems were operated with an output of 42 MW. Concurrently, over the course of the year the Company has upgraded the existing solar energy systems in its possession while increasing their utilization level, by increasing the size of the systems, making the systems denser and replacing the existing equipment (solar panels and converters) with equipment with more advanced technology. In addition, the Company has engaged with a partner in the field in an agreement to build electrical storage facilities that will be operated on the Company's properties across the country, with a total output of 400 MW/h.

Green Construction: Energy Efficiency in Maintaining Older Properties

New projects of office towers and employment compounds in development are being built according to the LEED Platinum or LEED Gold rating, a voluntary international standard for certifying buildings for green construction acting according to principles of environmental and social responsibility. The standard selects various categories such as energy savings and use of renewable energy, effective use of water, the environment inside the structure and so on. The standard consists of four grades – Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum, with Platinum being the highest rating. Accordingly, the Company's employment compounds will provide its customers with optimal working conditions with energy savings and environmental protection. In the Company's older employment compounds as well, the Company is working on a regular basis to upgrade them both in terms of environmental protection and energy savings and is making investments in replacing bulbs with cost-effective LED bulbs, replacing chillers and installing charging stations for electrical vehicles in its parking garages.

Promoting electric transportation infrastructure

The Company and Scala Smart Energy Ltd. signed a collaboration agreement for construction and operation of EV charging stations at Company properties across Israel.

As of the publication of the report, 178 regular stations and 44 fast stations have been installed by Scala in 55 compounds and 34 private stations are managed at office buildings across Israel. Some 60 more fast public charging stations are expected to be installed over the course of 2024. Of these, 38 regular stations and 11 fast stations were installed at Group properties in 10 compounds and 19 private managed stations. Some 6 more fast public charging stations are expected to be installed over the course of 2024.

Existence of Cross Default Mechanism

Debentures
(Series 20)
Grounds were established for calling for the immediate redemption of any of the
following: (1) another debenture series issued by the Company; or (2) debt
and/or accumulated debt by the Company to one or more financial institutions,
including institutional investors (except for non-recourse debt) in excess of 200
million NIS, provided that such a call for immediate redemption has not been
reversed within 21 days.
Debentures
(Series 25)
Grounds were established for calling for the immediate redemption of any of the
following: (1) another debenture series issued by the Company; or (2) debt
and/or accumulated debt by the Company to one or more financial institutions,
including institutional investors (except for non-recourse debt) in excess of 400
million NIS, provided that such a call for immediate redemption has not been
reversed within 30 days.

General As of March 31, 2024, the Group had loans, debentures and credit amounting to NIS 8.5 billion in total. Other than debentures (Series 20 and 25), none of these constitute a Material Loan pursuant to the Reportable Credit Directive. Credit documents contracted by the Group from time to time for obtaining various loans include causes for call for immediate repayment which refer, inter alia, to cross-default of other credit obtained by the Group (where such other credit may be in excess of a specified amount, credit of unlimited amount, credit extended by the same lender along, or credit extended by any lender), as well as other causes with respect to events indicating apparent deterioration in Company business and/or in its debt repayment capacity. Therefore, call for immediate repayment of non-material credit extended to the Company, or to Group companies, may result in call for immediate repayment of other credit. Note also that, even though the scenario whereby a cause may exist for call for immediate repayment due to a cross-default provision, as noted above, may exist under such circumstances – the Company believes, given its financial standing and assets, that the likelihood of such event is not high.

Auditors' Review Report to Shareholders of Mivne Real Estate (C.D.) Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the attached financial information on Mivne Real Estate (K.D.) Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter – the Group), which includes its Concise Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31 2024 and its Concise Consolidated Statements of Operations, Reports on Comprehensive Profit and Loss, Reports on Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Reports for the three-month period ending that date. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for preparing and presenting financial information for this interim period in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and are responsible for preparing financial information for this interim period in accordance with Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express our conclusions on this interim financial information based on our review.

We have not reviewed the concise interim financial information of subsidiaries the assets of which included in the consolidation constitute 12.38% of all consolidated assets as of March 31, 2024, and revenues of which included in the consolidation constitute 13% of all consolidated revenues for the three-month period ending that date. Furthermore, we did not review the concise interim financial information of companies presented according to the book value method, the investment in which amounted to a total of NIS 295 million as of March 31, 2024, with the Group's share of earnings of the companies in question amounting to NIS 2.4 million for the three month period ending that date. The concise interim financial statements of said companies have been reviewed by other accountants, the reports of whom have been provided us and our conclusion, inasmuch as it refers to financial information for the aforementioned companies, is based on the reviews conducted by these other accountants.

Scope of the Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Israeli Institute of Certified Public Accountants, "Reviews of Financial Information for Interim Periods Prepared by the Entity's Auditor." A review of financial information for interim periods consists of inquiries, mainly from people responsible for finances and accounting, and from the application of analytical and other reviewing procedures. A review is significantly limited in scope relative to an audit conducted according to generally accepted Israeli auditing standards, and therefore does not allow us to achieve assurance that we have been made aware of all material issues that might have been identified in an audit. Accordingly, we cannot express an audit-level opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review and on those of other accountants, nothing has come to our attention to make us believe that the financial information in question has not been prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with IAS 34.

In addition to the previous paragraph, based on our review and on those of other accountants, nothing has come to our attention to make us believe that the financial information in question does not comply, in all material aspects, with disclosure regulations as per Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 – General

  • A. These Financial Statements have been prepared in a concise format as of March 31, 2024 and for the three-month period ending that date (hereinafter: "Consolidated Interim Financial Statements"). These Statements should be read along with of the Company's Annual Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the year ending that date and accompanying Notes (hereinafter – the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements).
  • B. The Iron Swords War

2024 started out as one of the most complicated and challenging years for the Israeli economy, with the Iron Swords war ongoing, which started on October 7, 2023 with a vicious, murderous surprise attack launched by terrorist organization Hamas from the Gaza Strip. Even prior to this war, the Israeli economy faced soaring inflation, high interest rates and a credit crunch, all in view of the judicial reform and ensuing wave of civil protests. In the first quarter of 2024, rating agency Moody's lowered Israel's credit rating to A2 / Negative Outlook, in light of the risk of the fighting expanding to the north and expanding the fighting in Gaza, which significantly increase the geopolitical risks in the State of Israel and hurt the State's fiscal fortitude in the foreseeable future and international rating agency Fitch has announced that it was placing the State of Israel's credit rating under a negative watch.

After the report date, Iran launched an attack against Israel by launching ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and UAVs. This attack was averted by the Air Defense system, in collaboration with other countries, among which the USA. Escalation vis-a-vis Iran may have significant impact on Israel, on the Middle East and on other countries involved.

The Company is continuing to operate subject to Homefront Command directives, including continuing the marketing and management of its properties, developing, planning and building property, albeit on a partial basis as a result of the personnel shortage.

At the same time, subject to the above, the Company predicts that its ongoing revenues will decrease at a non-material rate as a result of the war and as of the publication of this report, the Company does not predict material delays in the construction of the projects.

In view of this being a dynamic event associated with significant uncertainty, the impact of the war and the geo-political situation in the region on future Company operations is unknown. The Company believes that should the war continue for an extensive period of time and/or should it escalate on other fronts, these implications my have significant negative impact on the Israeli economy and on Company operations.

At the same time, at this stage, the Company cannot estimate the change, if one occurs, in the value of its investment properties as a result of the war.

C. Implications of the War Between Russia and Ukraine

War broke out between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022. As of the date of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the war has caused, and is continuing to cause, significant casualties, damage to infrastructure and to buildings and disruptions to economic activity in Ukraine.

The Company owns a property in Kiev, Ukraine whose fair value as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, amounted to USD 54 million and USD 69 million (NIS 199 and 250 million, respectively). Company revenues from this property, for rent and management fee in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to NIS 8 million and NIS 6 million, respectively.

The war resulted in trade restrictions being imposed placed on withdrawing foreign capital from Ukraine. Therefore, cash deposited in bank accounts in Ukraine, amounting to NIS 15 million (as of December 31,2023: NIS 11 million), after a credit loss provision of NIS 1 million (in 2023: NIS 3.9 million) was classified as a non-current asset.

Note 2 – Principal Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

These Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as well as in accordance with disclosure requirements as per Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.

The accounting policy applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements is consistent with that used in the preparation of the Consolidated Yearly Financial Statements, except as described below:

Revision to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

In January 2020, the IASB published a revision to IAS 1 on requirements to classify liabilities as current or non-current (hereinafter: "the Original Revision"). In October 2022, IASB issued a subsequent revision to the above revision (hereinafter: "the Subsequent Revision").

The Subsequent Revision states that:

  • Only financial covenants an entity must comply with at the end of the reported period or prior to that, impact the classification of that liability as a current liability or a non-current liability.
  • For liabilities the examination of compliance with financial covenants is tested within the 12 months consecutive to the report date, disclosure must be provided in a manner that will allow users of the Financial Statements to assess the risks for that liability. This means that the Consecutive Amendment states that disclosure must be provided for the book value of the liability, as well as information on financial covenants and facts and circumstance as of the end of the reported period, which may lead to the conclusion that the entity will have difficulty upholding the financial covenants.

The Original Amendment states that a conversion right of a liability will impact the classification of the liability as a whole as a current or non-current liability, except in cases in which the conversion component is capital-based.

Both the Original Revision and the Subsequent Revision were applied retroactively as from annual reporting periods starting on or after January 1, 2024.

The above Amendment had no material impact on the Company's Interim Financial Statements.

Revision to IFRS 16 "Leases"

In September 2022, IASB issued a revision to IFRS 16 "Leases" (hereinafter: "the Revision"), designed to provide for accounting treatment on the financial statements of the seller-lessee in sale and lease back transactions, where lease payments are variable lease payments not dependent on any index or rate. In the Revision, the seller-lessee is required to adopt either of two approaches for measurement of the lease liability upon initial recognition of such transactions. The approach selected constitutes accounting policy, to be applied consistently.

The Revision was applied to annual reporting periods starting on January 1, 2024. The Revision was applied retroactively.

The above Amendment had no material impact on the Company's Interim Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Disclosure for New IFRS Standards in the Period Prior to their Application

IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"

In April 2024, IASB issued IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" (hereinafter: "the New Standard"), superseding IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (hereinafter: "IAS 1").

The objective of the New Standard is to improve comparability and transparency on financial statements.

The New Standard is to include current IAS 1 stipulations, as well as new requirements for presentation on the income statement, including presentation of amounts and sub-totals required by the New Standard, providing disclosure of management-defined performance measures and new requirements for grouping and un-grouping of financial information.

The New Standard does not change the recognition and measurement provisions for items on the financial statements. However, since items on the income statement would be required to be classified under one of five categories (current operations, investment operations, financing operations, taxes on income and discontinued operations), this may change the entity's operating income. Furthermore, the publication of the New Standard resulted in limited revisions to other accounting standards, including IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows" and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The New Standard shall be applied retroactively starting with annual reporting periods starting on or after January 1, 2027. Early implementation is possible, subject to disclosure.

The Company is reviewing the impact of the New Standard, including the impact of revisions to other accounting standards resulting from the New Standard, on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 – Segment-Based Information

A. General:

The Company reports two reportable segments in accordance with Management's approach to IFRS 8. Distribution to segments is carried out on the basis of the Company's areas of activity. Management tracks the segment's results separately in order to allocate the resources and assess the performance of the sector, which in certain cases is measured differently than the sums reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management has established that the operating sectors are based on reports reviewed by senior management when making strategic decisions. The following is information on the Company's operating segments:

– Cash-generating property – ownership and operation of investment property mainly used for offices, high-tech, industry, logistics and trade, data centers and housing units for generating rental fees.

– Development residential real estate – the development of residential real estate in Israel including locating, planning, developing, building, marketing and selling residential construction in Israel.

Reportable operating segments were not collected. No transactions were made between the various segments.

Management examines the operating results of business units separately for the purpose of reaching decisions regarding the allocation of resources and the assessment or performance. Segment results are assessed on a gross profit basis.
