ANNUAL REPORT 2024 SPACE FOR GROWTH

2024 was a record year for Montea. Not only did we successfully launch our ambitious growth plan Track27, we also laid the foundations for rolling out this plan. This year, we also achieved the largest-ever annual portfolio growth. This demonstrates our unwavering ambition and resulted in earnings per share of €4.73. Strong results that provide a solid basis for continuing the rollout of Track27, which aims to grow our portfolio to €3.5 billion by the end of 2027 and the earnings per share to €5.60.

This year's success story was not just about results growth, confidence in our financial strength also grew. We achieved our first solid long-term investment grade rating, a clear recognition of our financially disciplined approach aimed at sustainable growth. This rating is the result of years of careful strategic decision-making.

Montea also significantly expanded its presence in France and Germany. A successful capital increase helped us to accelerate our expansion plans in France with the acquisition of the Reverso portfolio. In Germany, we further expanded our footprint with an acquisition in the Port of Hamburg, a key strategic move for the future. In Tiel, we commenced the largest development in our history for our client Intergamma.

Our continued emphasis on strategic locations continued to deliver this year. We maintained consistently high occupancy rates despite the adverse economic climate – a true testament to the value we offer to our clients and to the strategic location of our sites.

Our successes were also recognized by the outside world. In Belgium, we had the great honor of being nominated for EY's prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year award. In the Netherlands, we became the proud winners of the Logistics Award for the sustainable distribution center we built for Lekkerland in Waddinxveen.

This solid foundation allows us to look to the future with confidence. 2025 is already off to a strong start with a milestone we are particularly proud of: Montea joined the BEL20 index. This recognition confirms the longstanding dedication of our colleagues, our customers' trust and the continued support of our shareholders in our growth story. And what does the future hold? We are aiming high for 2025, setting our sights on 8% earnings growth per share and an investment target of EUR 300 million. Track27 is fully on course, focusing on the development and expansion of our land bank and energy projects. We strongly believe in the power of partnerships with experienced developers and offer sale and leasebacks to help logistics companies finance their future growth.

Together we are setting a course for the future, confident that there is always Space for Growth at Montea.

We look forward to the opportunities that 2025 will bring.

With great pride,

Jo De Wolf CEO

1975 → PETROLEUM-ZUID ANTWERP

Since the 1960s, Petroleum-Zuid in Antwerp has remained largely abandoned and polluted. The area had become heavily contaminated with oil and heavy metals.

This is a reconstruction of what this site must have looked like in 1975.

→ 2025 → BLUE GATE ANTWERP TODAY

The area was completely remediated and turned into Blue Gate Antwerp a sustainable business park focused on circular economy and clean tech.

  • Bicycle charging stations 16

This is a visualisation of what the site is expected to look like in 2055.

Petroleum-Zuid was once one of the most important storage hubs for petroleum products in Europe. Starting in the second half of the 19th century, this area south of Antwerp developed into a heavily secured industrial zone with dozens of storage tanks, refineries, and port facilities. It played a crucial role in the city's energy supply and trade, but also came with major risks—raging fires and severe environmental pollution.

During World War II, Petroleum-Zuid was largely destroyed by bombings. Not long after, the petroleum industry relocated to a new site. From the 1960s onward, businesses began leaving the area, and Petroleum-Zuid was left largely abandoned and contaminated, with the ground polluted by oil and heavy metals.

By 1975, Petroleum-Zuid was still in operation, but its peak was already behind it. As the Port of Antwerp expanded northward and environmental regulations became stricter, the site gradually lost its function. Facilities aged, storage tanks became outdated, and large parts of the terrain were shut down. In the years that followed, Petroleum-Zuid remained mostly deserted and heavily polluted.

This is a reconstruction of what this site must have looked like in 1975.

Back in 2011, the first plans were made to breathe new life into the former Petroleum-Zuid site. In 2016, Montea became the exclusive partner for developing the logistics zone. The area was completely remediated and turned into Blue Gate Antwerp—a sustainable business park focused on circular economy and clean tech.

The first milestone was the DHL Delivery Centre, completed in 2021. This was followed by Belgium's very first Amazon Logistics delivery center, delivered in 2022 and nominated in 2023 for the Belgian Construction Awards in the Climate Future Project category.

In 2024, we delivered a third sustainable logistics hub for Herfurth and the Dries Van Noten Group, which went on to win the Realty Sustainable Building Award in the Industrial & Logistics category. International recognition followed: At Expo Real in Munich, Montea received the Expo Real Impact Award for this project.

All Montea developments at Blue Gate are certified BREEAM Excellent. They go beyond energy-neutral—they are energy-positive, generating more renewable energy than they consume. Solar panels on the roof, airtight loading docks, heat pumps, and skylights all help to minimize energy use. The use of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) sped up the construction process and ensures highly efficient insulation.

What was once a heavily polluted brownfield is now an energy-positive logistics hub, creating jobs just minutes from the heart of Antwerp.

Multigenerational approach

Ever since we were founded, we have played an active role in the logistics real estate market. As specialists, we are able to accurately assess the potential of new developments, selecting locations that are attractive now and will continue to be well into the future.

We redevelop industrial sites with forward-looking designs. Our underlying goal is for our buildings to continue to meet the grade for decades to come – adapting to ever evolving regulations and changing client needs. It is difficult to find any other listed business that employs such a 'multigenerational approach'. We plant seeds that will continue to bear fruit for many years to come.

Driving growth via our land bank

Our land bank comprises 2.7 million m² of land ready for development of which more than 80% are grey and brownfield sites. For new investments, we tend to operate via the 'income-producing' approach: we buy strategically located sites that will continue to generate rental income. Over time, we develop a future-proofed distribution center on the site, either for the existing tenant or a new client.

Today's uncertain market climate is sparking financial challenges among some logistics operators. As such, we work with our clients and carry out sale-and-leaseback transactions on some occasions, releasing capital that they can then use to invest in growing or expanding their business.

"An investment is always for the long term. For instance, today our portfolio still contains buildings located on sites that my father acquired back in his day. There's even a site that we've demolished and rebuilt twice…"

Dirk De Pauw Chairman of the Board "We had a lot of capital expenditure requirements to fulfill, including sustainability-related investments. Thanks to the sale-and-leaseback, we were able to quickly and easily free up capital. We have now future-proofed our business operations for the long-term."

In each of our four countries, we have local teams covering business development, asset management, property management and accounting. Finance, tax, IT, sustainability, legal support, HR, marketing, communication and PR are run centrally by Corporate Services in Belgium. If we want to tap into a new market, this structure allows us to hit the ground running and scale up fast.

Long-term collaboration with our clients

We offer our clients the best possible experience in terms of location, properties and management. We want to understand how they see the future, what needs and challenges they face, and how we can tailor our products and services to suit them. Collaboration and feedback are paramount to achieving this.

Clients also play a key role when it comes to our new developments, pushing us to take outside-the-box thinking to the next level. For example, in Brussels, we built an e-commerce center for Delhaize, incorporating parking and solar panels into the roof design. We developed and delivered a spacious distribution center flooded with natural light for Lekkerland in Waddinxveen. We are also installing energy storage systems at dozens of our sites.

Innovation and sustainability: embedded in our DNA

Since 2014, Montea's focus has been on greyfield (uncontaminated former industrial sites) and brownfield (contaminated legacy sites requiring remediation). Over the past three years, we have invested more than €15 million in the remediation of contaminated legacy sites. This is a major part of how we live up to our social responsibility and our mission statement to keep the use of greenfield sites – i.e. undeveloped land – to an absolute minimum.

Our new developments are also driven by an ambition to innovate. All our new developments are zero-emission buildings, they no longer use fossil fuels. We map out the entire carbon footprint of the building, ensuring the sites produce more energy than they consume.

Montea continues to invest in energy storage and is committed to installing features such as airtight loading bays, heat pumps, charging stations for electric trucks, efficient cooling, heating and lighting systems, reusing heat waste, durable roofing and insulation.

We are also pushing our boundaries conceptually, through partnerships with educational and research institutions, for example, in 2024, Montea also became a member of the Vlerick Sustainability centre and actively participated in a case study on sustainable finance.

Strong fundamentals in a volatile macro environment

At 34.8%, Montea's EPRA LTV is extremely low and our net debt/EBITDA (adjusted) stood at 6.9x at year-end 2024. We work with long-term borrowing and hedging agreements – both with an average unexpired term of around 6 years – and our hedge ratio was 98% at year-end 2024.

We also have a strong liquidity position, with around €204 million in immediately available financing at year-end 2024. Despite rising interest rates, the average annualized cost of our debt stands at 2.3%, and our assets are unencumbered.

Montea's goal is to keep these fundamentals robust over the coming years. We are working on the targeted expansion of our portfolio, focusing on specific clients and sectors (e.g. healthcare and recycling) and strategic locations that offer strong added value (e.g. airports and multimodal sites). This strategy is proving successful, with occupancy consistently remaining above 99% since 2018 and the average unexpired lease term to first break standing at 5.9 years at year-end 2024.

Paving the way for CSRD reporting

In 2021, we mapped out our key ESG challenges in a single materiality matrix. In 2024, we analyzed all of our value chains to comply with the new CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). We consulted both internal and external stakeholders on the impact of material topics and their financial risks and opportunities.

"We clean up sites that are contaminated with cyanide, tar, gasoline residue and PFAS. We aim to reuse the remediated soil on-site as much as possible. Given they are often strategically located with multimodal connections, these sites are ideal for generating business and new jobs. Another advantage is that they're already connected to the grid."

Dirk Van Buggenhout Chief Sustainability Officer

Cautious and consistent financial policy

Montea has by no means been immune to the rising interest rates and inflation that have shaped the last few years, with our share price being considerably affected. However, despite the challenging macro-economic climate, we have worked hard to identify the right opportunities and stay on track.

Our debt ratio (LTV) has remained under 40% since 2019. Strictly speaking, we did not need additional funding but opted to tap the capital markets to sustain our growth ambitions.

Our solid track record has allowed us to successfully attract new international investors year after year. In total, we have brought in more than €600 million and invested €1.3 billion. We have also increased our profit per share and net asset value per share every year.

These impressive results enabled us to achieve an important milestone in 2024: a BBB+ investment grade rating from Fitch Ratings. The awarding of this rating by an independent body confirms Montea's financial strength and creditworthiness, the aim of which is to gain better access to all capital markets, attracting a wider investor base and to benefit from favorable financing conditions.

The Monteaneers: specialist leaders

Focus, entrepreneurship, expertise and team spirit are Montea's core values. We ensure dynamic teamwork by allowing fast-paced decision-making. Much of our growth can be attributed to the unique long-term partnerships we have with landowners, developers, clients and public institutions.

Our staff are entrepreneurs who create added value for all our stakeholders. However, just like any good entrepreneur, Monteaneers want to reap the rewards of their success, which is why they have the opportunity to join share option and share purchase plans. With a sign-up rate of more than 85%, these programs have proven to be a resounding success over the years. Thanks to initiatives such as these, employee engagement is stronger than ever.

"When we recruit, we look for people who want to build a long-term relationship with the company. Montea offers inspirational career paths for its employees, allowing them to develop both on a professional and personal level."

4. Investment in multimodal hubs

Expansion in Germany

We invested more than €50 million in Germany, acquiring a logistics park in the Port of Hamburg with a total lettable area of 63,500 m². The logistics park is fully let to five different companies. This complements our existing sites in Mannheim (8.3 ha) and Leverkusen (2.8 ha), further expanding our international presence. The properties are modern with strong redevelopment potential, with an initial yield of 6.5%.

Growth in the Port of Ghent: TML

We expanded our presence in the Port of Ghent by acquiring a site from Tailormade Logistics (TML) via a contribution in kind. The 20,000 m2 site includes a 12,000 m2 warehouse and a 2,000 m2 office building. Tailormade Logistics NV (TML) signed a sale-and-leaseback agreement for a minimum of 10 years. This €12 million investment has an initial yield of ca. 6.7%.

(Re)development potential in Zellik

We added a new site in Zellik (on the outskirts of Brussels) to our land bank for €20 million. The 36,000 m² site comprises 14,000 m² of Gross Lettable Area (GLA) and ca. 15,000 m² of (re)development potential. The land is now leased for six years, with permit approval expected soon.

Sale-and-leaseback in Maastricht Beatrixhaven

Through a sale-and-leaseback deal, we acquired the Rubber Resources recycling site at the Beatrixhaven business park in Maastricht. This plot comprises approximately 42,000 m2 , including a 16,000 m2 warehouse, which we have leased to Rubber Resources on a long-term basis. Strategically located with excellent links via rail, road and waterways, the offers optimal distribution access to the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. This acquisition involved an investment of €8 million, with an initial yield of over 7%.

First site in the Port of Antwerp: Luithagen

The Luithagen site is an 11-unit business park in the Port of Antwerp. We secured 20,000 m² of warehouse and office space on a 42,000 m² plot, via a contribution in kind investment. The site remains leased to its current tenants, generating an expected initial yield of ca. 8,0% on a total investment of €10.85 million.

Prime locations in Diemen and Oss

We invested €29.7 million in two prime locations in the Netherlands. In Diemen, near Amsterdam, we acquired an industrial site of almost 28,000 m² with considerable redevelopment potential. The property is currently let to Cooper Consumer Health. In the North Brabant town of Oss, we are developing a 16,000 m² sustainable distribution center for Vos Logistics, designed to achieve BREEAM 'Excellent' certification. Together, we expect this investment to generate an average initial yield of 6.9%.

5. Project development: new milestones

In terms of project developments, 2024 saw the completion of four leased projects totaling approximately 100,000 m². These included the state-of-the-art chilled and frozen food distribution center for Lekkerland in Waddinxveen (NL), the e-commerce home delivery center for Delhaize in Vorst (BE), as well as the last mile development at Blue Gate in Antwerp for Herfurth and Dries Van Noten Group (BE). Four new developments are also currently under construction, comprising approximately 125,000 m² in total. This notably includes Montea's largest project to date – a 91,000 m² distribution center in Tiel for Intergamma. We also expanded our land bank with 530,000 m2 of future development potential.

6. Ambitious energy and CO2 saving measures

In addition to developing sustainable real estate projects, we are continually optimizing our existing sites when it comes to sustainability. We also implemented a wide range of ambitious energy-saving measures in 2024.

Heat pumps

Heat pumps play a key role in our energy-saving measures, as they efficiently heat and cool buildings without using fossil fuels. By the end of 2024, 45% of our portfolio was operating with energy-efficient heat pumps.

Renewable electricity

We are also taking a big step in the transition from grey to renewable electricity. In 2024, 81% of the electricity used in our portfolio came from renewable sources, both through purchased renewable electricity and energy generated on site (e.g. solar panels). This is a 12% increase compared to 2023.

Energy hubs and EMS

We also launched an energy storage program (see p. 56) and implemented an Energy Management System (EMS). This gives us flexibility over our energy use, deploying our solar panels, EV chargers and batteries at the most convenient times. It enables us to optimize energy consumption and costs.

Cross Laminated Timber

In 2024, we used Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) for the first time in our new development at Blue Gate Antwerp and the Tragel extension in Aalst. By combining CLT with low-carbon steel decking, we achieved a CO2 reduction of 1,000 tCO2 eq at Blue Gate alone.

of our electricity comes from renewable sources

7. First credit rating from Fitch (BBB+)

In 2024, we received our first credit rating from Fitch; a solid long-term investment-grade rating of BBB+ with a stable outlook. This rating recognizes our high-quality logistics portfolio in Western Europe and its steady income from long-term leases, index-linked rental increases and consistently high occupancy rates. Fitch also assigned an A rating to our senior unsecured debt.

This recognition from an independent body highlights Montea's strong financial position and creditworthiness, reflecting our balanced approach to financing new investments through both equity and debt, with no encumbrance on assets. As a result, we benefit from better access to capital markets, a broader investor base and more favorable financing terms.

8. FBI approval for FY 2023

During 2024, we were recognized as a fiscal investment institution (fiscale beleggingsinstelling - FBI) in the Netherlands for the 2023 financial year. As a result, the provision was reversed in our 2024 results, positively impacting EPRA earnings by €3.7 million (an additional €0.18 per share).

9. 99.9% occupancy rate

Our occupancy rate remained exceptionally high at 99.9%, reflecting the continued appeal of our portfolio. Thanks to our high-quality buildings in prime strategic locations, we have consistently achieved an occupancy rate of over 99% since 2018, even reaching 100% in 2023 – a rare feat in the real estate sector.

10. Crowned with success

Realty Sustainable Building Award

In 2024, we won the inaugural Realty Sustainable Building Award in the 'Industrial & Logistics' category for Herfurth and Dries Van Noten Group's distribution center at Blue Gate in the Port of Antwerp. Once a heavily polluted brownfield site, we transformed it into an energy-positive facility using CLT offices, airtight loading bays, heat pumps and solar panels – a major achievement in sustainable innovation.

The Realty Awards jury chose Blue Gate Antwerp and Montea because the project is fully aligned with the new sustainability initiative New European Bauhaus, which strives for solutions that are not only sustainable, but also achieve a more appealing place to live and a more inclusive society.

Expo Real Impact Award

Herfurth and Dries Van Noten Group's distribution center was again recognized at the Expo Real Impact Awards in Munich. The prestigious award recognizes pioneering sustainable projects worldwide, providing them with a platform to showcase their innovation to top managers, real estate professionals and investors.

Read more about this innovative building on p. 102-103.

BUILDING THE FOUNDATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS

THREE CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER THREE

How we are helping to shape the future of logistics

3.1. Growth and long-term value creation

We redevelop existing industrial sites, maintain a controlled debt ratio, optimize EPRA earnings and actively manage our portfolio. Our primary focus is maximizing the intrinsic value of the stock, referred to as NTA growth.

Launching Track27

The logistics sector is evolving. The continued expansion of e-commerce is expected to further drive demand for strategically located distribution centers and last-mile hubs in the coming years.

Montea remains at the forefront of these developments, which is why we launched a new four-year growth plan in September 2024. Track27 is our most ambitious growth plan to date and is also deeply committed to sustainability.

Driving growth via our strategic land bank

From 2014 onward, we realized that we would need to have our own land bank in order to continue our growth story. Working together with ports and airports, we acquired our first strategic site and we began to develop a very high-quality portfolio.

Having focused exclusively on logistics real estate since our founding, we are specialists at spotting and accurately assessing the potential of new developments at locations that will continue to offer great opportunities over the long term. Expanding our land bank therefore became the basis of our exponential growth.

Today we are a beacon of financial strength on the stock market, with a robust balance sheet, over 100 strategically-located sites occupied by strong international tenants, a 99.90% occupancy rate that is unrivalled in the industry and a strategic land bank that is key to securing our future growth for long-term success.

"I am very proud that we are once again setting the bar so high, and that we have the confidence to plan four years ahead, especially given current market conditions. Our growth plan includes clear financial targets, and we have deliberately set a sustainability benchmark for our industry."

Jo De Wolf CEO

Track27 is built on our solid financial position

  • Average cost of debt not exceeding 2.5%
  • Net debt/EBITDA (adj.) of circa 8x
  • An occupancy rate that remains above 98%
  • Operating margin of 90% by 2027

Our most ambitious growth plan to date

Track27 contains €1.2 billion of investments and will increase our portfolio value by more than 50% to €3.5 billion by the end of 2027. Our target is to achieve average EPRA EPS growth of more than 6% per year over the four-year period, reaching an EPRA EPS of €5.60 by the end. This equates to a 25% increase in EPS over the same period.

This continues our strong tradition of profit and dividend growth, with an average increase of 9% over the past 10 years.

Our dual role as both investor and developer has been a key driver of Total Accounting Return1 , which has averaged +19% over the past decade.

In 2024, we invested a total of €441 million and had a further €57 million committed in the investment pipeline to projects currently underway, together representing more than 40% of the forecast €1.2 billion combined investment volume for Track27.

Growth and sustainability go hand in hand

We aim to reduce our operational carbon emissions by 55% by 2030, after removing 45% by the end of 2027 under our Track27 plan. All our new developments are zero-emission buildings.

In addition, we will invest as much as €75 million in renewable energy projects by the end of 2027. These projects will include on-site energy generation via solar panels, wind power and energy storage systems, which will help our clients navigate one of their biggest challenges: the energy transition.

Our dual role as both investor and developer has been a key driver of Total Accounting Return1 , which has averaged +19% over the past decade.

(1) Total Accounting Return = annual EPRA NTA growth + gross dividend yield *DPS 2023: €3.38 + €0.36 related to one-offs, DPS 2024: €3.60 + €0.14 related to FBI 2023 one-off **DPS 2025: €3.90 + €0.07 related to one-offs

Expanding our portfolio

2024 was a record year for us in terms of portfolio growth. We invested no less than €441 million in new acquisitions, development of our existing land bank and sustainability initiatives. Our overall portfolio value increased by €513 million to €2.8 billion, including a €72 million value uplift.

"2024 was a year of great success for Montea and saw us consolidate our position in the market. We achieved an unprecedented level of growth in our portfolio, a true demonstration of our strategic direction and operational strength. With a robust and healthy balance sheet, we are poised to build on this success in 2025 and deliver continued value for all our stakeholders."

Els Vervaecke CFO

Logistics Park in Hamburg

In Q1 2024, we acquired a large logistics park with a total lettable area of 63,500 m² in the port of Hamburg. The park covers a total of 89,000 m² and is situated in the prestigious Hamburg-Altenwerder logistics area. The site is fully let to five different companies. Thanks to its strategic location and redevelopment potential, we expect future rental uplift. The initial yield is circa 6.5%.

"Our investment in the Port of Hamburg significantly boosted our presence in Germany and underscored our focus on port and airport locations. 55% of our current portfolio comprises multimodal sites. Our goal now is to keep expanding in Germany, both through acquisitions and new developments."

Patrick Abel Country Director Montea Germany

Sale and leaseback in the Port of Ghent

In Q2 2024, we acquired a Tailormade Logistics (TML) site in the port of Ghent for €12 million, our third property in this port. The 20,000 m² site features a 12,000 m² warehouse and a 2,000 m² office building. The seller committed to a sale and leaseback transaction of at least 10 years. The initial yield is 6.7%.

"The Port of Ghent is a key trade and logistics hub, so we are extremely pleased to be further expanding our presence and reach there. Its strategic location further demonstrates our commitment to continue investing in multimodal hubs and high-quality logistics solutions for a constantly evolving European market."

Xavier Van Reeth Country Director Montea Belgium

Development site in Zellik

The outskirts of Brussels faces a major shortage of industrial sites and available buildings. In Zellik, we acquired a 36,000 m² development site in Q2 2024 for €9.3 million. The project has already been pre-let to a logistics provider, and construction will begin as soon as the necessary permits have been secured.

Sale and leaseback in Beatrixhaven, Maastricht

During Q3, we acquired a car tire recycling plant on the Beatrixhaven industrial estate in Maastricht, by means of a sale and leaseback agreement with Rubber Resources.

The 42,000 m² site features a 16,000 m² warehouse and a 2,000 m² office building. The site is strategically located with multimodal access via motorway and inland waterways. This €8 million investment offers an initial yield of over 7%.

Reverso portfolio

In Q4, we completed the acquisition of the Reverso portfolio, comprising 17 French sites with a total land area of 650,000 m² and a building density of just 12%. Given this low building density, there is considerable potential for expansion and redevelopment, which fits well with Montea's strategy of retaining an extensive land bank for future development opportunities.

Half of the Reverso portfolio is positioned along La Dorsale – the Lille-Paris-Lyon-Marseille logistics axis. Over a third of sites are located on the Arc Atlantique, France's second-largest logistics corridor (Caen-Rennes-Nantes-Bordeaux). All sites have been leased for an average fixed term of nine years, with transport company Jacky Perrenot as the primary tenant. The net initial yield on the portfolio is 5.6%. This acquisition represents a major milestone for Track27, our new growth plan.

"At Montea, we strongly believe in long-term value creation. This acquisition represents a major investment in land that is leased to a leading player in the French market. We look forward to working with Jacky Perrenot to create value in these strategic locations."

Luc Merigneux MRICS-Country Director Montea France

"There are no large industrial estates in the pipeline for the Greater Amsterdam region. It is virtually impossible to find a property of this caliber for sale here. The cities of the future will be supplied from the outskirts, so in the long term this is a great location for urban distribution."

Cedric Montanus Country Director Montea Netherlands

First site in the Port of Antwerp

During Q4, we acquired our first site in the Port of Antwerp via a contribution in kind investment. The 42,000 m² multimodal site features 11 office units and over 20,000 m² of warehouse space.

The site has been leased over a long period to various companies that provide support services to the port. The long-term plan is to renovate the site with sustainability in mind. Montea invested €11 million, with a net initial yield of ca. 8.0%.

Strategically located site in Diemen

In Q4 2024, we acquired a premium site in Diemen near Amsterdam, comprising ca. 28,000 m². Conveniently located between four of the country's major motorways, the site benefits from substantial power infrastructure, which is a major advantage given the current grid congestion issues.

The property is leased to Cooper Consumer Health, but the entire site could eventually be redeveloped into an urban distribution hub (last-mile delivery).

Developing our land bank

Our extensive land bank allows us to develop high-quality real estate projects that meet market requirements and contribute to our growth. In 2024, we completed 101,000 m² of new project developments at a total cost of €111 million.

We currently have four development projects under construction in Belgium and the Netherlands, with a total pre-let area of 124,000 m². These projects have a total investment budget of ca. €116 million and are fully pre-let with an average lease term of 14 years.

Our land bank delivers strong value creation – over the past three years, we have recorded €100 million in development gains across projects.

"There is a great deal of demand in Brabant for modern logistics distribution centers with the highest sustainability criteria, but supply is limited. We are delighted that this solution will allow us to build on our existing client relationship and add sustainable value to our portfolio. However, we will have to be creative with the power infrastructure available on site, and may need to install solar panels and energy storage systems. Especially since electric trucks will be charged here one day."

Hylcke Okkinga Country Director Montea Netherlands

Other projects in the pipeline

Companies are currently facing an economic slowdown and macroeconomic uncertainty, which dampened demand for new logistics space in 2024 and led to clients taking longer to make decisions.

Meanwhile, sustainable warehouses and development sites in strategic locations remain in short supply. As demand rebounds, this scarcity will create significant opportunities. We remain confident in the development potential of our strategic land bank.

We are now preparing to develop 628,000 m² of prime land in Belgium and the Netherlands, with major sites in Tongeren (Belgium), Halle (Belgium), Tiel (the Netherlands), and Born (the Netherlands).

Investments in sustainability

The large flat roofs of logistics buildings are ideal for installing solar panels. As part of our Track27 growth plan, we aim to double our photovoltaic (PV) capacity from 68 MWp at the end of 2023 to 135 MWp by the end of 2027, with a dedicated budget of €27 million. By the end of 2024, PV capacity in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France had already reached 84 MWp, with 96% of technically feasible roofs now equipped with PV systems without involving major retrofitting works.

"We have made significant advances in terms of energy transition. This includes solar and wind energy projects, battery storage solutions, EV charging points and the electrification of existing systems. With each step, we are helping our clients solve their energy challenges and lay solid foundations for the future."

Dirk Van Buggenhout Chief Sustainability Officer We have also begun implementing energy storage solutions across our existing sites, to ensure reliable power for our clients and contribute to grid stability. Over the next few years, we plan to invest €50 million in 100 MWh of energy storage systems.

In Belgium, we have already initiated this rollout across 13 sites, representing approximately half of our Belgian portfolio and providing a total storage capacity of 35 MWh. In the Netherlands, feasibility studies are underway for seven sites, aiming for an additional 21 MWh of storage capacity. In the medium term, we will identify further locations and increase storage capacity to 100 MWh by the end of 2027.

We have also implemented a variety of energy-saving measures, including energy-efficient LED lighting, EV charging points, additional roof insulation and heat pumps. By the end of 2024, 45% of our existing sites had a heat pump, 78% had LED lighting and 772 charging points were in place.

Movianto extension, Aalst

Smart logistics for better city living

How it began

In 2016, Montea built a state-of-the-art distribution center for Movianto, a specialist in healthcare logistics solutions. Movianto handles a wide range of cold chain logistics solutions, such as temperature-controlled storage, repackaging and transport. During development, we noted the potential to extend the site at a later date.

Progress in 2024

In 2024, Montea began work on an 8,000 m² warehouse extension and a small 288 m² office unit. Besides cold storage of medicines, the extension will enable Movianto to provide storage for ADR. It is a specialized healthcare logistics hub. In accordance with the Montea Blue Label (see more on page 93), the property is specially equipped to ensure a low carbon footprint.

Making it sustainable

The extension will feature solar panels on the roof and will be gas-free. A modern docking system will ensure that the building is fully airtight while loading is not in progress. A parking deck for private cars will also be attached to the existing building in 2025, meeting the increased demand for parking spaces without needing to pave over more land.

3.2 Targeting net zero

Every day we aim to go further and lead the way when it comes to sustainability. Our buildings are designed with a lifespan of at least 30 years, ensuring they continue to meet evolving regulations and client needs. Aligned with our multigenerational vision, we embed sustainability into every aspect of our operations.

We are rolling out our sustainability strategy (underpinned by a dual materiality analysis) across our own operations, existing portfolio and new developments. We are also investing in an innovative energy storage system, energy and water hubs at our sites and promising research projects. You can read all about it in this chapter.

1. Sustainability as a driver of logistics innovation

We are leading the way in making the logistics sector more sustainable. With a land bank exceeding 2 million m², over 80% of which consists of grey and brownfield sites, we prioritize the redevelopment of existing industrial areas. In recent years, we have invested approximately €15 million in the remediation of polluted industrial sites, transforming them into energy-positive, future-proof logistics hubs.

In all our developments, we emphasize reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency and optimizing the use of space. Rather than making short-term gains, we aim to create long-term value – delivering a positive impact for this generation and those to come. This value lies in sustainable, innovative logistics buildings located in strategic, multimodal sites that are easy to access, with flexible, multifunctional designs.

Sustainability is part of our DNA. But what does 'sustainable' mean when it comes to real estate? At

  • Montea, we define our properties as sustainable if they: Are designed and built with minimal carbon emissions and maximum energy efficiency, promoting circular material use and fostering a positive impact on local ecosystems and communities.
  • Are efficiently managed, ensuring continuous improvement in sustainability performance.
  • Support a sustainable value chain, helping both our clients and their customers achieve their sustainability goals.
  • Are future-proof, meaning they are climate-resilient, adaptable and ready for the energy transition.

To maximize our impact, we have enhanced our internal sustainability structures. Our ESG Steering Committee, led by our Chief Sustainability Officer, works closely with the Board of Directors, integrating sustainability into our corporate strategy and shaping our future sustainability objectives.

Decisions made at this level are implemented throughout the organization via specialized ESG teams in each country. This ensures that we not only comply with current regulations but continue to innovate for the future. Through this approach, we are building a logistics sector that is not only economically viable, but also socially responsible.

2. Toward zero-emission buildings by 2030 and net zero by 2050

Since 2020, the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) has required all new buildings in Europe to be nearly-zero energy (nZEB), meaning they have minimal energy requirements, largely met by renewable sources.

In 2024, these regulations became even stricter: by 2030, all new buildings must be entirely emission-free, classified as zero-emission buildings (ZEB). This mandates the elimination of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas in building operations.

Additionally, large non-residential buildings – including distribution centers – must incorporate solar energy systems, building automation systems and electric vehicle charging points. The long-term objective is even more ambitious: by 2050, nearly all existing buildings must achieve emission-free status.

Montea has taken a proactive approach to the EPBD. Our new developments are already fossil-fuel free. Moreover, our Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) analysis helps us identify which properties in our portfolio need to be adapted over time (see below). We also measure the full life-cycle CO 2 emissions of our buildings – from material extraction to demolition and reuse – allowing us to quantify embodied carbon in each project. As pressure increases to reduce emissions, we are committed to achieving net-zero before 2050.

3. Our sustainability strategy

3.1 Double materiality analysis

In 2021, we conducted a comprehensive survey of various stakeholders to identify our key ESG challenges, which we then mapped in a materiality matrix. In 2024, under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), we repeated this exercise, this time incorporating a double materiality analysis.

The purpose of this was to assess the materiality of ESG issues for Montea from two perspectives:

  • Impact perspective: the positive and negative effects of Montea's activities on the environment, our people, and the communities in which we operate. This analysis considered factors such as scale, value chain scope, reversibility and likelihood (see below).
  • Financial perspective: the risks and opportunities that ESG issues pose for our operations and value. We examined our dependencies on key stakeholders (e.g. tenants and suppliers), access to essential resources (e.g., raw materials), the likelihood of these risks and opportunities, and their potential magnitude.

We established an internal steering committee within Montea to oversee this analysis, with support from an external consultancy firm. Where possible, we incorporated relevant insights from our 2021 materiality analysis. Following validation by the management team and the Board of Directors, EY auditors conducted a limited assurance engagement to audit the assessment (see section 10.4 Valuation reports). Moving forward, we will update this materiality analysis every three years.

The DMA process

We conducted our dual materiality assessment from January 2024 to June 2024 through the following steps:

    1. Mapping our activities and value chain
    1. Identifying potential material IROs
  • (Impacts, Risks & Opportunities)
  • 3.Determining material items based on scoring – both from an impact and financial perspective
  • and input from relevant stakeholders
    1. Validating the final list of material topics

Step 1: Mapping our activities and value chain

We began by defining the context of our operations, outlining our core activities, including products, services, sectors and geographical reach. This included logistics real estate development, leasing, maintenance and the provision of energy generation and storage facilities. We also mapped our entire value chain, both upstream and downstream.

Additionally, we identified key stakeholder groups and assessed their level of inclusion in the materiality analysis. Building on our 2021 stakeholder consultation, we incorporated new relevant groups.

Step 2: Identifying potential material IROs

After mapping our activities, value chain, and stakeholders, we compiled a longlist of potential IROs based on:

  • insights from our 2021 single materiality assessment;
  • broad desk research on emerging trends in logistics real estate;
  • industry analysis and relevant international real estate standards;
  • benchmark analysis of peer sustainability reports.

We also reviewed international and sector-specific ESG frameworks (such as GRESB and EPRA sBPR) to assess how sustainability topics impact our operations. This approach provided a more structured understanding of the financial implications of environmental and social issues.

We further analyzed indirect sources such as sector averages for environmental KPIs (e.g., recycling rates, energy consumption) and social KPIs (e.g., wages, safety data). Over time, we aim to enhance data accuracy through:

  • comparisons with CSRD reports from larger CSRD-compliant stakeholders;
  • direct stakeholder engagement (e.g., Tenant Satisfaction Surveys);
  • more efficient collection of primary tenant data (e.g., waste, water and energy consumption) using new software tools.

This analysis resulted in a list of 130 potential material IROs.

Our core stakeholders

Step 3: Determining material items based on scoring To determine the final material sustainability topics, we sought input from both external and internal stakeholders. External stakeholders reviewed the longlist and suggested additional topics, while internal stakeholders, including management, participated in two in-depth assessment sessions in which each IRO was assessed individually:

  • Session 1: impact scoring assessment based on scale, scope, irremediability, and likelihood;
  • Session 2: risk and opportunity analysis assessing financial impact and likelihood (high, medium, low) of risks and opportunities.1

To ensure objectivity, the initial scoring was conducted anonymously. The results were then discussed within the steering committee to reach a consensus, guided by an external consultant.

Step 4: Validating the final list of material topics

Following the steering committee's discussions, the results were presented to Montea's management. The management team had the opportunity to amend or add to the proposed material IROs. After their approval, the Board approved the final list in June 2024.

The outcome? Our materiality matrix clearly defines our key sustainability topics – both for Montea and our stakeholders. These topics significantly influence our growth, costs, risks and opportunities, shaping the areas where stakeholders expect us to take action.

(1) In this process, we used the same financial thresholds as in our analysis of financial risk factors. This way, financial and sustainability information is evaluated consistently.

Our sustainability targets are aligned with the European Green Deal and cover three areas: our own operations, our existing portfolio and our new-build projects. Each of our key pillars requires its own specific approach and impact analysis. For new construction projects, our base year is 2021, while for our existing portfolio and operations, our base year is 2019.

In the following sections, we will outline our progress for each of these pillars.

Track27: ambitious sustainability goals

In September 2024, we launched Track27, our most ambitious growth plan yet. The plan aims to meet both financial targets and a set of ambitious sustainability targets.

Reduce operational CO2 emissions from our existing portfolio by

CO2

(1) Net-zero is not the same as CO2 neutrality. Net-zero means that all emitted CO2 is fully offset by CO2 removal, so that no additional CO2 remains in the atmosphere. This is possible, for example, through forest management or CO2 storage. CO2 neutrality means that there are no net CO2 emissions. This is often achieved through offsetting measures by which CO2 is not necessarily being removed from the atmosphere.

4.1 Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions

Our total carbon footprint is divided into scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions (see figure on p.70). Scopes 1 and 2 are relatively easy to measure, but only represent a small proportion of our total CO2 emissions. The majority of our CO2 emissions fall under scope 3.

Several years ago, we had our scope 1 and 2 targets validated by the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative). In 2024, the SBTi launched a new framework for buildings. In 2025, we will set our own targets with the SBTi, including more concrete targets for our scope 3 emissions.

Scopes 1, 2 and 3: a new methodology

In recent years, we have split our CO2 emissions into direct and indirect emissions. We now apply the three official scopes:

  • Scope 1: direct emissions from activities within our own control.
  • Scope 2: indirect emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heating or cooling.
  • Scope 3: indirect emissions from the wider value chain.

5. Carbon neutral Montea operations

Our operations have been carbon neutral since 2021. To achieve net-zero emissions by 2030, we must do everything we can to reduce our current carbon footprint. Our primary focus areas remain mobility (electric vehicles) and energy consumption in our offices.

In 2024, our total operational CO2 emissions amounted to 179 tCO2 e, reflecting a 4% increase from 172 tCO2 e in 2023. However, this rise is easily explained: for the first time, we included emissions from company cars used by self-employed employees. If we were to recalculate 2023's emissions using this expanded scope, the total would have been 204 tCO2 e, meaning our emissions actually fell by 12% in 2024.

Our workforce also grew from 48 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in 2023, to 57 in 2024, yet our CO2 emissions per FTE decreased from 3.5 to 3.1 tCO2 e. Additionally, emissions per square meter of office space decreased from 0.123 to 0.116 tCO2 e/m².

2022 156 0.14 4.1
2023 172 0.123 3.5
2024 179 0.116 3.1

Montea's total CO2 emissions of 179 tCO2 e fall into several categories, three most important being mobility, energy consumption and IT equipment. 0.4% of our carbon emissions relate to purchased goods and services.

5.1 Mobiliteit

Mobility remains the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions within our operations, accounting for 79% of our total footprint. This primarily stems from company vehicles, business travel, and commuting. However, we have made significant progress: 62% of our company vehicles are now electric1 , leading to a 32% reduction in tCO2 e compared to last year. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given our 50% increase in workforce. Our long-term goal remains clear: by 2027, we aim for a fully electric fleet, supported by expanded charging infrastructure at our offices. Unfortunately, this progress has been partly offset by a rise in business travel emissions. While we continue to prioritize train travel, our air travel increased in 2024, which has a higher impact on our carbon footprint. This increase is due to the internationalization of our shareholding, which has required more frequent flights to the United States.

Our hybrid work model has meant that our commutingrelated emissions dropped by 29% over the past year, as employees have spent time working from home.

(1) This percentage includes the fleet for our management companies. Without these cars, the share of electric vehicles would be 74%. A different calculation was used in the 2023 annual report, when the percentage of electric vehicles was 61%, excluding management companies. Including this fleet, the figure would have been 51% in 2023.

Carbon offsetting

We offset the carbon footprint of our own operations through carbon offsetting measures, which are a vital step toward carbon neutrality. When offsetting, we always try to support a project in one of the countries where we operate, which is linked to our work, by buying carbon credits from a chosen company. We choose projects that go beyond CO2 avoidance, actively investing in initiatives that remove carbon from the atmosphere. An excellent example of this is our use of hemp concrete blocks created by Belgian company IsoHemp.

IsoHemp produces sustainable hemp concrete blocks for insulation and load-bearing walls, as an alternative to traditional and polluting building materials such as cement. The blocks are made entirely from local lime and hemp. Not only do they store CO2 , but each block also saves an average of 3 m³ of water per m². They also consume 17 times less energy during their production process, because no heating is required – a saving of 660 kWh per m³ of product. They help to reduce the heating requirements of our buildings by 20 kWh/m² per year.

5.2 Energy consumption

To assess our offices' energy consumption, we analyze the mix of renewable and grey electricity, gas and district heating. We generate 100% of our electricity from renewable sources and use LED lighting equipped with daylight and motion sensors. While most of our offices still rely on gas for heating, our Paris office is connected to a district heating network.

Energy consumption is converted into CO2 emissions using specific emission factors (see further), ensuring an accurate calculation of our total operational footprint in tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2

e).

Our energy-related emissions have fallen from 33 to 27 tCO2 e, driven by an overall reduction in both gas and electricity consumption. A key factor in this decline was the lower gas consumption in our Belgian offices, following the replacement of heating elements in early 2024 and an optimized system configuration.

We rely on external sources for some of our data, such as heat network consumption in our Paris office. Given this, we have conducted our analysis with caution, since some data is beyond our direct control.

5.3 IT equipment

Despite an increase in the number of employees in 2024, we purchased less IT equipment. This is largely explained by the large purchase of IT equipment in 2023, which included an upgrade of existing equipment. This equipment is regularly upgraded in line with our IT renewal policy.

6. Existing portfolio benefits from renewable energy

Our goal is to cut operational carbon emissions from our existing portfolio by 55% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

For our existing portfolio, we are prioritizing sustainable renovation work. In doing so, we pursue a well-considered strategy: outdated assets are not sold to improve our sustainability figures, but are instead transformed to make them future-proof. After all, that is truly a sustainable approach.

"When we're looking to add a property to our portfolio, our first priority is finding the right location. We can always work on sustainability and future-proofing, but we cannot improve a location."

Dirk Van Buggenhout Chief Sustainability Officer

6.1 Energy savings in the existing portfolio

Beyond developing sustainable real estate, we are actively optimizing existing sites, delivering both economic and environmental benefits while improving the working environment for our clients.

Sustainable heating and heat pumps

Heat pumps allow us to heat and cool buildings without fossil fuels. By the end of 2024, 45% of our portfolio was already operating on energy-efficient heat pumps.Our original target was to disconnect at least 50% of sites from the gas grid by 2030 and switch these over to heat pumps.

However, this has proven more challenging than at first glance, as in addition to our new developments, we acquire existing sites that often require significant sustainability upgrades before they can meet our high standards. As we continue to expand, our original goal will continue to prove challenging. Rather than selling off outdated properties to boost our sustainability score, Montea chooses to renovate and upgrade buildings, so they can stand the test of time. We believe that this is the true meaning of sustainability.

Innovation in heating warehouses

We have already successfully installed underfloor heating in warehouses at three locations in the Netherlands, including in Waddinxveen (read more on p. 110-111). We will continue to install this where possible.

We want to further increase this efficiency by using insulated underground tanks, which not only save energy, but also optimize space by being below ground level. We are also exploring how to use electric sprinkler pumps and how rainwater can be used for sprinklers, to further reduce our carbon footprint.

LED lighting

We are excited to continue with our relighting program. Our aim is to switch our entire portfolio to energy-efficient LED lighting by 2030. By the end of 2024, 78% of our sites were already equipped with LED lighting. However, this target also remains a challenge given the continued expansion of our portfolio as we acquire existing sites.

Renewable electricity

In our existing portfolio, 26% of total energy consumption comes from natural gas, 73% from electricity and 1% from district heating. Meanwhile, 81% of our electricity used by clients in our portfolio comes from renewable sources, both through purchased renewable electricity and energy generated on site (e.g. solar panels).

Electric charging points

We install charging points at all of our new developments, but we are also investing in EV charging at existing properties, in order to support our clients with the energy transition. We are also exploring options for e-truck charging infrastructure. At the end of 2024, we had 772 EV charging points across our portfolio.

Measuring our energy intensity and CO2 emissions

On our journey to net zero, we constantly monitor the impact of our energy-saving initiatives. One key metric is energy intensity, measured as energy consumption per m². This fell by 4% in 2024 compared to the previous year, reaffirming our progress.

Our pathway to decarbonization

We are using the CRREM tool to refine our decarbonization pathway and establish a clear set of priorities. This sciencebased tool was developed specifically for the real estate sector and aligns with the climate targets set by the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal. CRREM provides a transparent benchmark to track our CO 2 reduction progress, ensuring we remain on course to meet our climate goals. Decarbonization pathways vary by country due to differences in energy mix, policies, and infrastructure. Since we operate across multiple regions, we analyze our data on a country-by-country basis, allowing us to address unique challenges and seize opportunities specific to each market.

By 2024, we will have conducted a CRREM analysis for all our assets. This comprehensive assessment identifies priority sites for reducing both energy and CO 2 intensity. While the decline in our energy intensity is less than in previous years, the overall trend was influenced by the expansion of our portfolio, particularly with existing buildings. These older properties, which often do not yet meet modern energy standards, undergo a CRREM analysis to inform a targeted investment program.

For instance, the graph on the right displays the results of the CRREM analysis of our portfolio in 2023, focusing on GHG emissions. It reveals that 17% of our sites are already aligned with 2050 targets, while 12% require immediate action.

Under our Track27 growth program, we aim to ensure that all assets at risk of becoming stranded assets 1 by the end of 2030 will be fully aligned with 2050 targets by the end of 2027.

The most effective step in our decarbonization process is phasing out gas consumption.

(1) Stranded assets refer to assets that lose their economic value as they no longer meet future regulatory or market expectations.

This often results from the transition to a low-carbon economy, where reliance on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions reduces asset value.

7. Montea developments: energy efficiency target exceeded

By 2030, we aim to reduce CO2 emissions from our new developments by 55% compared with 2021. This reduction refers to both operational and embodied carbon, encompassing the total greenhouse gas emissions over the life cycle of a building. Our ultimate goal is to achieve net zero on all new construction projects by 2050.

Our new developments are zero-emission buildings. This means that our buildings have a very high energy performance, we do not use any fossil fuels, we produce more local renewable energy than we consume and we map the full carbon footprint of each building.

We focus on optimal use of space through high-rise buildings, maximum density and clustered green areas, which provide greater value than fragmented greenery. In doing so, we always consider the overall CO2 impact reduction, avoiding additions that will have minimal environmental benefits.

For new investments, whether acquiring a site or an existing building, we first analyze the location and then consider the best way to future-proof the property. Each decision is guided by our internal Sustainability Scorecard.

INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS

Airtight loading bays Traditionally restricted to refrigerated warehouses due to high energy
loss, airtight loading bays are now a standard feature in all our new
buildings. We test their effectiveness with blower door tests.
Optimal use of daylight To enhance energy efficiency and create a more comfortable working
environment, we install skylights with daylight sensors and motion detection.
Efficient installations We invest in advanced cooling, heating, and lighting systems.
Sustainable materials During construction, we prioritize materials with a low carbon footprint and long lifespan,
including recycled steel-based roofing sheet (XCarb steel deck), high-performance
sandwich panels (QuadCore), improved lifespan roofing membrane (EPDM) and
low-carbon cement-based products (CEM III/A). Wherever possible, we build our
offices with laminated timber beams and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structures.
Fossil-fuel free heating and
cooling with heat pumps
We are eliminating fossil fuel dependency by exclusively using heat pumps for heating
and cooling. We also install underfloor heating in warehouses to optimize our energy use.
Charging infrastructure linked
to renewable energy
We power our e-truck and EV charging stations with solar panels,
solar canopies and battery energy storage systems.
Thoughtful use of space We build car parks above loading bays to maximize the efficient use of available space.

Montea's Sustainability Scorecard

A new part of our approach is the Sustainability Scorecard. This tool provides a comprehensive evaluation of sustainability aspects in acquisitions and new developments, which are submitted to the Investment Committee and the Board of Directors for approval.

The goal is to guide development managers in scoring and benchmarking projects against rigorous sustainability standards. The Scorecard not only helps assess a development's resilience, but also serves as a foundation for further discussions.

It evaluates key criteria such as location and zoning, biodiversity, network connectivity, mobility, accessibility, vegetation, climate risks, energy consumption, renewable energy and employee welfare.

Each criterion is assessed based on specific parameters and contributes to the overall sustainability score.

A high score reflects a project's strong commitment to sustainability, while a low score highlights potential risks. By investing in sustainable and future-proof projects – those with high scores – we can accelerate our transition to net zero and achieve our long-term sustainability objectives.

Below is an example of the Scorecard for a new development:

7.1 Renewable energy in our new developments

Thanks to the use of flat roofs, logistics real estate is particularly well-suited for solar panels. By leveraging renewable solar energy, we help our clients to lower their energy costs while advancing their energy transition.

By the end of 2024, our PV installations in Belgium, the Netherlands and France had a total capacity of 84 MWp, with 16 MWp installed in 2024. Currently, close to 96% of technically suitable roofs are equipped with solar panels.

Hernieuwbare energie in onze nieuwe ontwikkelingen (in MWp)

We generate a significant amount of renewable energy through our solar panels. On average, 35% of this energy is currently used by tenants. We have to consider the following factors:

  • Emphasis on energy efficiency: we benefit from many renewable energy resources, but these are still considered valuable and scarce. This is why we design airtight buildings with maximum efficiency, ensuring that enough energy is produced to meet and exceed on-site needs.
  • Large buildings with extensive roofs: thanks to their greater surface area, these roofs offer a great deal of potential. Rather than designing solar power systems to meet the client's current needs, we plan ahead to meet future increases in energy demand.

At certain times, surplus energy production (especially from renewables such as solar and wind) can create unfavorable energy prices and imbalances. We account for this by temporarily producing less energy during peak times (curtailment) and by participating in the imbalance market, where we can meet energy needs. We also use energy storage systems and battery storage to retain surplus energy for later use, which helps mitigate the impact of unfavorable prices.

Read more about our investments in battery energy storage systems on p. 96.

Montea builds energy hubs to help its clients with the energy transition

Target met

For our new-build developments, we decided to target maximum energy intensity of 25 kWh/m² per year by 2030. Our first completed projects actually outperformed this target, reaching an effective energy intensity of just 18 to 19 kWh/m² per year and meeting our 2030 target well ahead of time, in 2023. We are now going further by continuously optimizing our designs to minimize heat loss.

7.2 Energy-efficient new-build projects

We are constantly helping our clients bring down their energy costs and CO2 emissions. We have therefore set ambitious targets for the energy efficiency of our new-build projects.

7.3 Reducing CO2 emissions in the construction sector

A building's CO2 emissions can be divided into two main categories: operational carbon and embodied carbon. Both play an important role in the environmental impact of real estate and are key considerations for Montea when developing new sustainable buildings.

Operational carbon

Operational CO2 emissions refer to the emissions generated during a building's use. These can be direct emissions, such as burning fossil fuels for heating. They can also be indirect emissions, such as using electricity or heating sourced from fossil fuels off-site.

Achieving a zero-emission building, where CO2 emissions are reduced to zero, requires several measures. Firstly, reducing energy consumption within the building, then meeting all remaining energy needs with renewable energy generated on site. One major challenge is that most buildings lack the infrastructure to generate their own energy 24/7.

There are several alternative options:

    1. Purchasing renewable energy externally: through long-term energy contracts or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
  • 2.Buying certified renewable power from the grid: this can be used to supplement on-site generation.
  • 3.Offsetting remaining operational emissions:
  • through voluntary carbon market certificates.

For a ZEB using options 1 and 2, Montea requires clients to sign a Green Lease, ensuring they actively contribute to sustainability through energy-efficient practices. If a client opts out, we will deliver the building as Net-Zero Ready, meaning the tenant is responsible for sourcing renewable energy or offsetting emissions.

Regarding option 3, we prioritize avoiding emissions over offsetting them, wherever possible. We view carbon credits (offsetting) as a last resort, and we recommend securing long-term PPAs for 100% renewable or certified renewable energy instead.

Embodied carbon
Embodied carbon refers to the total greenhouse gas
emissions released throughout a building's life cycle –
from material extraction and transport to construction,
maintenance, demolition and potential recycling.
Unlike operational CO2
, controlling embodied CO2
is significantly
more challenging, as most emissions occur during the production
of materials such as steel and cement. Currently, there are limited
circular and scalable alternatives for these chemical processes.
Although no legislation mandates the reduction of embodied CO2
in
the construction industry, we still recognize its importance. We are
proactively working to reduce CO2
emissions in our developments
by following a scientifically based reduction pathway. Since there
are few reference frameworks in logistics real estate, we adopt the
benchmark value from the German DGNB label (a sustainability
certification similar to BREEAM). This sets a maximum guide
value of 24 kg CO2
/m³ for warehouse construction. This maximum
value is also included in the Montea Blue Label (see below).
In 2025, we are aiming for the Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi) to validate our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission
reduction targets under the real estate framework
established in summer 2024. This validation will include
specific goals for reducing embodied CO2
emissions.

Examples of concrete initiatives:

  • Renovation over demolition: when technically and financially feasible, we prioritize renovation over demolition, as a full renovation generally has a lower carbon footprint than constructing a new building. Before proceeding with demolition, we always conduct a thorough study of renovation options. If demolition is necessary, we maximize the reuse of rubble as building material for the new structure and repurpose old materials wherever possible.
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): for new construction projects, we conduct an LCA to calculate total CO2 emissions. This allows us to identify materials with the highest carbon footprint and explore sustainable alternatives. In 2023, we developed our LCA guidelines, ensuring a precise assessment of embodied carbon through a double LCA study. In 2024, we aligned our LCA guidelines with the EU Taxonomy framework.
  • Circular construction: we are committed to circular construction principles, including material reuse, recycling and sustainable long-term choices. This approach not only reduces our buildings' environmental impact, but also preserves their value for the future.
  • Working closely with suppliers: we are building a network of reliable suppliers who have the right solutions when it comes to making the construction sector more sustainable. We prioritize partners who can offer sustainable materials and building techniques.

CIRCULAR BUILDING: MORE PRACTICAL EXAMPLES

In multi-layer façades and roofs, each layer of material has its own specific function, such as insulation, protection or aesthetics. Rather than gluing these layers together, we prefer to attach them mechanically, as it makes them easier to separate and reuse.

Multi-layer façades and roofs
Improved construction nodes
and better materials
Cradle to Cradle

We always prioritize the use of materials with a long lifespan, low maintenance requirements and high residual value. We carefully design the points where structural members such as walls and roofs join together (referred to as nodes), to enhance the circular potential of these materials.

Minimizing PUR and PIR materials We try to avoid PUR and PIR insulation foams, as they produce high CO2 emissions, are difficult to recycle and are highly inflammable.

We opt for Cradle to Cradle (C2C) materials when it comes to finishes. These materials are designed for a closed-loop system, where waste is repurposed to generate new products that are safe, healthy, reusable and biodegradable.

The previous tables demonstrate that there can be significant differences between our projects.

The Vorst project produced a carbon footprint of 483.83 tCO2 e/m², which was well above average. Building a car park above the loading bays made the overall structure heavier. This resulted in a higher carbon footprint, but it also optimized use of the available space and opened up more room for greenery. The building structure also required additional reinforcement, as a large part of the building consisted of chillers and freezer rooms, with lowered ceilings hanging from the structure and technical installations fitted on the roof above.

By contrast, Blue Gate (phase 2) has an CO2 -intensity of 158 tCO2 e/ m², which is significantly lower than other developments. A major contributor to this reduction is the fact that the office units are made entirely from Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) (see p. 102). Building design (efficiency, size, stacked structures etc.) and choice of materials (wood, steel, concrete etc.) are clearly decisive factors.

To prepare a clearer comparison between projects, we established a set of LCA guidelines in 2023 (see p. 91). In the first phase, we focus purely on the building itself without looking at the exterior. When comparing figures, it is always advisable to include elements that are specific to each project. We therefore remain fully committed to reducing the embodied carbon of our developments through innovative building concepts and the use of sustainable materials.

7.4 The Montea Blue Label

In 2024, our Montea Blue Label received a full makeover. We integrated our sustainability vision into the standard, setting a higher benchmark than ever before. The document is no longer just a collection of technical specifications – it forms a comprehensive guide that translates our vision into actionable steps for every stage of a project, from site acquisition to property maintenance and renovation. For projects where we or our clients aim to go above and beyond, the guide also provides expert insights and best practices for achieving excellence.

Continuously reviewed and updated, it serves as a key resource for our architects, project managers and engineers. It outlines performance standards for both renovations and new construction, while offering innovative design strategies to enhance a building's sustainability even further.

7.5 Working together to reduce our environmental impact: Intergamma, Tiel

Availability of logistics real estate has fallen in recent years due to land scarcity, stricter nitrogen regulations and grid congestion. At the same time, there has been a growing demand for sustainable real estate solutions. As a result, there is huge potential in leased land in strategic locations, especially where there are no issues with nitrogen or grid congestion. We found one such opportunity in Tiel, in the Dutch province of Gelderland.

In September 2018, we acquired a leased site here comprising approximately 48 hectares, on the former site of the Maasglas glass factory (1963-2015). The site benefits from excellent access via the motorway (A15) and waterways (Amsterdam-Rhine Canal and the Waal river). In the first phase (2021-2022), we built a cleantech recycling facility of approximately 9,500 m² for Re-Match. A further 45 hectares was then earmarked as available for development into a sustainable logistics park.

Elsewhere on this site, construction has started on a second phase for another tenant, Intergamma (Tiel-Noord). This center will combine the activities of several distribution centers into one, improving efficiency and supporting to Intergamma's ambition to reduce its carbon footprint.

8. From storing goods to storing energy

For years, we have been committed to developing sustainable, multifunctional logistics centers. We are taking a pioneering role in the energy transition of the logistics sector, helping to address grid congestion while ensuring access to affordable, renewable energy.

A key step in this mission is energy storage. By integrating rooftop solar panels with battery storage, we not only generate more renewable energy, but also maximize its efficiency.

This approach makes our sites more energy-efficient, less dependent on the grid and ready for the future. As a result, our clients benefit from a reliable power supply and comprehensive support in their own energy transition.

8.1 Montea's innovative battery energy storage concept

Until last year, our clients used an average of just 35% of the solar energy generated on their rooftops. Why? Because solar power is not always generated when the client needs it.

Meanwhile, our clients are increasingly concerned about energy shortages and grid congestion – challenges that will only intensify as energy demand is expected to double in the coming years. With growing electrification, particularly in the logistics sector, existing grid connections will struggle to keep up. Additionally, Europe's distribution networks are not yet fully equipped to handle this surge in demand.

To address this issue, in 2024 we began deploying Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), an innovative solution that stores locally generated solar energy and releases it when it is needed most. This represents a real investment in the future. What makes this project truly unique is the advanced flexibility of our battery systems – an unprecedented level of adaptability in Belgium.

Current battery systems serve three purposes: grid support, energy trading and local optimization (e.g. peak shaving). And what about our battery systems? Using market analysis and weather forecasts, we determine – every four hours and in real time – what each battery is best used for. This requires a sophisticated Energy Management System (EMS), enabling dynamic switching of batteries between different roles:

  • Balancing Service Provider (BSP): maintains grid stability by quickly supplying or storing energy;
  • Balance Responsible Party (BRP): balances energy consumption and production on the grid;
  • Local storage: reduces peak consumption and stores renewable energy produced on site. Stored energy can be utilized in multiple ways, such as powering EV and truck charging infrastructure, stabilizing the grid by absorbing peak loads and optimizing operational costs through smarter energy management.

By deploying these systems flexibly behind the meter, we effectively expand local power capacity, helping our sites maintain sufficient energy supply despite grid congestion. This added capacity is crucial for enabling the faster and smarter electrification of our clients' fleets, securing a competitive edge for the future.

Behind the meter

We deliberately opt for batteries that are behind the meter. Behind the meter refers to energy storage systems that are installed within Montea's energy network, and not on the public electricity grid (front of the meter). This gives us greater flexibility, capacity and security for the future energy needs of our sites, without having to rely on the public grid all of the time.

"Montea's smart approach to energy storage systems is unique and a further demonstration of our entrepreneurial spirit."

Thomas Snoeck Project Manager, Belgium

8.2 Battery investments

As part of our Track27 growth plan, over the next few years Montea will invest €50 million in energy storage, resulting in 100 MWh of storage capacity.

  • Belgium: in 2024, we identified 13 sites (about half of our Belgian portfolio) where we will invest €17.5 million in battery energy storage systems, which will produce 32 MWh of storage capacity. The stored energy will be used for lighting, heating and cooling the logistics centers, as well as charging electric vehicles.
  • Netherlands: we are exploring the rollout of energy storage systems at several sites (investing €12.5 million), which would result in 21 MWh of storage capacity. Over half of this capacity has already been allocated to sites in Waddinxveen, Tiel and Amsterdam.

By following this energy management strategy, we expect to achieve annual returns of at least 12%. In the medium term, we aim to equip even more sites with battery energy storage systems.

"Our logistics centers are already a leading force in sustainability. By installing battery energy storage systems, we can supply more energy to our clients and help stabilize the grid. This investment is fully aligned with Montea's strategy to champion a future-oriented, climate-friendly business."

Dirk Van Buggenhout Chief Sustainability Officer

9. Logistics sites as hubs for energy and water

Since 2015, we have been developing city hubs to enable more efficient and environmentally friendly last-mile delivery in the e-commerce sector. For example, at Blue Gate in Antwerp (see p. 102-103), located just a few kilometers from the city center, goods can be delivered entirely by cargo bikes. Another example is the centrally located e-commerce home delivery center for Delhaize in Brussels (see p. 106-107).

Our city hubs and distribution centers also have far greater potential than this. By integrating local energy production and storage – such as solar panels and battery systems – these sites can serve as energy hubs for nearby businesses. Our sites also play a role in water sustainability. With the ability to capture large volumes of rainwater, they can function as water hubs, including for drinking water.

A standout example is our new sustainable distribution center for Lekkerland in Waddinxveen, South Holland (see p. 110-111), developed in partnership with Remmers. This gas-free, 50,000 m² facility features high-quality insulation panels and solar panels that generate enough energy to power the 7,200 m² freezer cell and 5,800 m² refrigerated shipping area.

Beyond these energy efficiency measures, the facility also captures rainwater, which is then reused to water nearby greenhouses. By integrating locally generated energy and filtered rainwater into the surrounding area, this facility exemplifies a true energy and water hub .

We look forward to working further with our clients and making even greater strides in energy saving and the transition to sustainable mobility.

10. Research projects and partnerships

10.1 Renewind

In partnership with Renewind, we have installed Belgium's first urban wind turbine on the roof of our Liège site. This innovative turbine generates energy even at low wind speeds, ensuring a continuous renewable energy supply that is not solely reliant on sunlight.

By integrating both wind and solar energy, we create a balanced energy system that maximizes output throughout the day and across various weather conditions. The turbine leverages the building's aerodynamics to capture up to 80% more energy. Its compact, quiet, and permit-friendly design makes it an ideal solution for urban environments.

10.2 Afilog

The new decarbonization indicator from Afilog, the logistics and real estate trade association, provides a precise measurement of the carbon footprint of logistics buildings throughout their life cycle. At Montea, we proudly sponsor this tool – not just through financial support, but as a strategic commitment to transparency and a data-driven approach to sustainability.

10.3 Vlerick Sustainability Center

Montea is also making an impact on education. Vlerick Management School has incorporated our sustainable investment approach into its curriculum as a case study, and we are an active member of the Vlerick Sustainability Centre. As part of our annual membership, we contribute to social impact initiatives, including student funding. In 2024, we supported the Opportunity & Equality scholarship fund, enabling four Master in International Management & Strategy (MIMS) students to pursue their studies at Vlerick.

10.4 Belgian Green Building Council

Montea is a Core Founding Partner of the recently established Belgian Green Building Council (BGBC). There are 70 GBCs working on sustainable property development around the world. Twenty-eight of them are in Europe, accounting for a global total of more than 49,000 members. The BGBC is committed to promoting sustainability through education (sharing knowledge between stakeholders), certification (setting Belgian sustainability standards), networking (setting up a platform for collaboration) and lobbying (advocating for more sustainable policies).

Blue Gate, Antwerp

How it began

In 2016, we became the exclusive partner of the Blue Gate logistics site development in Antwerp, at the former heart of Antwerp's petroleum industry. Our goal was to construct next-generation buildings that combine sustainable design with low-impact urban distribution.

We started out with the DHL Delivery Center (4,260 m², delivered in 2021). We then built Amazon Logistics' first Belgian delivery center on the site (8,500 m², delivered in 2022), which was nominated for the 'Climate Future Project' category at the 2023 Belgian Construction Awards.

Progress in 2024

Last year, we delivered a third sustainable logistics distribution center comprising ca. 16,000 m² at Blue Gate for Herfurth and Dries Van Noten Group.

Herfurth will benefit from 9,000 m² of warehouse space and 2,000 m² of office space at their new distribution center. This will enable the company to better meet their customers' logistics needs, while further reducing their CO2 footprint. Herfurth is leasing the property for a term of 12 years.

Dries Van Noten Group will move into 4,000 m² of warehouse space and 800 m² of office space. This highly energy-efficient building, its location near the city and potential for expansion will all help the company as it strives toward its sustainability ambitions. We have signed a six-year lease agreement with Dries Van Noten Group.

Why do we choose Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)?

Cross Laminated Timber offers several environmental benefits. The wood we use comes from European trees that absorb CO2 from the air even after they are processed, making it both sustainable and good for the local economy. Wood is also a circular building element that can be reused multiple times. It also helps to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in the construction sector, especially compared to concrete production. Reforestation also plays a role: for every tree felled, new trees are planted, starting the whole cycle all over again.

"This project means we can continue to offer our fashion range in Belgium. We also gain more space for expansion and a highly energy-efficient building – a real win-win situation."

Tom Van Berendoncks Production Director Dries Van Noten Group

Making it sustainable

All our developments at Blue Gate have achieved BREEAM 'Excellent' certification. The Herfurth and Dries Van Noten Group distribution center is no exception. More than just energyneutral, this building generates more renewable energy than it consumes. Energy consumption is minimized thanks to rooftop solar panels, airtight loading bays, heat pumps and skylights. The use of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) accelerated the construction process and provides energy-efficient insulation.

Gaining recognition

Once a heavily polluted brownfield, the site has now been transformed into an energy-positive building. This example of sustainable innovation has not gone unnoticed. In September 2024, Herfurth and Dries Van Noten Group's distribution center won the inaugural Realty Sustainable Building Award in the 'Industrial & Logistics' category. The project also earned international acclaim, with Montea winning the Expo Real Impact Award in Munich for this distribution center.

As an investor that also undertakes its own developments, land ownership is one of our key strategic pillars. Our extensive land bank enables us to create high-quality real estate projects that align with market demand and drive our growth. We help our clients to overcome the challenge of land shortage by thinking outside the box with the space available in strategic locations.

A focus on grey and brownfield sites

We transform contaminated industrial sites into energy-positive logistics sites ready for the future. Over the past few years, we have invested more than €15 million in land remediation to make these projects a reality. A prime example is our project at Oostvaartdijk in Grimbergen (Belgium), where we successfully completed the remediation of a 112,000 m² brownfield site in 2024, in collaboration with our partners DEME and WDP. This site is strategically positioned along the Willebroek Canal, near the A12, offering excellent connectivity for both water and road transport. However, the soil was heavily polluted as the site was once home to the Cokeries du Brabant coking plant.

Built to last

With our multigenerational vision, we develop logistics real estate designed to last for decades. This is why we create properties that accommodate a wide range of purposes and occupiers. This is achieved through flexible, robust designs, the use of sustainable materials and circular construction methods. Additionally, gas-free heating systems and ample charging capacity for electric vehicles make our facilities future-proof.

A prime example of this approach is our project in Tiel, the Netherlands, where we are consolidating multiple warehouses for our client, Intergamma, into a single, sustainable 91,000 m² distribution center. This not only enhances operational efficiency, but also significantly reduces its ecological footprint.

We are equally committed to extending the life cycle of existing buildings. Whenever possible, we prioritize adaptation and optimization over demolition and reconstruction. This long-term strategy delivers economic and environmental benefits while fostering a better working environment for our clients and their employees.

3.3 Making the most of space when land is scarce

Stacked structures

We are always looking for new ways to optimize available space. We can do this by raising the clear height of a standard logistics building, or by giving the roof multiple functions, such as adding parking spaces or rooftop solar panels. Examples of this are the rooftop car park we added to Delhaize's distribution center in Brussels, the car park at Amazon's Blue Gate development and the multi-story building we added for DPD in Vilvoorde.

In Waddinxveen, the roof of the distribution center at Logistics Park A12 is used to generate power. With a total roof area of 80,000 m², the solar panels are capable of generating 9,000 MWh, enough to power 3,200 homes. In Liège, we recently built a horizontal wind turbine next to the existing PV installation (see also p. 100), ensuring renewable energy day and night, even in the darker months of the year.

An exceptionally high occupancy rate

Our client satisfaction is clearly reflected in the exceptionally high occupancy rate across our portfolio. This stood at 99.9% in 2024 and 100% in 2023. The very limited amount of vacant space is at Le Mesnil-Amelot in France, a site that was previously leased to Espace Phone.

Of the equivalent of 9% of rental income expiring in 2024, 96% was renewed or leased. That 9% corresponds to approximately 176,000 m² of lettable area, of which close to 142,000 m² was renewed or extended with existing clients.

The remaining 34,000 m² of lettable area was re-let to new clients, including the Belgian site in Milmort (to Mondial Relay) and the French site in Saint-Priest (to Verploegen). This corresponds to ca. 2% of the contractual annual rental income, with the renegotiations generating around €0.2 million in additional rental income (+12% rent increase).

In 2025, approximately 10% of rental income will be due for renegotiation, 58% of which was already extended or renewed at the end of January 2025.

"We excavated 130,000 tons of heavily contaminated soil in Grimbergen. More than half of this soil could be reused on the site after remediation. We actively seek out brownfield sites, because we view remediation as the best choice from an environmental point of view – we are repurposing existing land. Also, these sites are often in strategic locations and benefit from strong grid connections. This makes them particularly viable sites for modern logistics centers. These sites enable us to build sustainably, but also provide effective solutions to our clients' energy requirements."

Peter Demuynck Chief Strategy & Innovation

Delhaize Home Delivery Center, Brussels

How it began

We acquired the Lipton site in 2008. We remediated and redeveloped the site in various phases, including buildings for Sligro (formerly Metro), Options and Stylelabs. In 2022, we moved into the final phase: the construction of the Delhaize Home Delivery Center, with an area of ca. 21,000 m².

Progress in 2024

In 2024, we completed the Delhaize Home Delivery Center, bringing our redevelopment of this site to a close. We were able to completely transform a historically derelict site, while hugely boosting local employment at this multimodal and accessible site, which is adjacent to Vorst railway station and the Brussels ring road, as well as a major bicycle highway.

Making it sustainable

We started the project by preparing a circularity analysis and materials passport. We began remediating the brownfield site and carefully dismantling the old structure, salvaging elements such as the façade and concrete slabs. Other materials, such as carpet tiles and interior doors, found a second life with our partners. On this reclaimed land, we developed a building that exemplifies our commitment to sustainability, circularity and multigenerational design. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) informed our selection of low-impact materials and design choices. In addition to the new construction, we preserved and partially renovated an existing office unit – an approach we favor whenever feasible.

The distribution center is heated and lit using green electricity and features airtight loading bays. A natural CO2 -based refrigerant powers the cooling system, while recovered waste heat warms the office space. Smart skylights maximize natural light, enhancing employee well-being.

For roofing, we deliberately chose EPDM – a more costly option but one with a superior environmental score and a lifespan of approximately 40 years, double that of traditional PVC or TPO. This choice reflects our long-term vision.

The pros and cons of green roofs

On the one hand, green roofs can have a positive effect on a building's water management. They also help with cooling and contribute to biodiversity. However, there are also a few drawbacks, especially when it comes to logistics buildings. They require a heavier support structure, which increases the overall carbon footprint of the project. This is why we prefer to install green roofs on office units and limit their use to supporting

The roof itself is multifunctional, integrating parking, solar panels and a biodiverse green roof concept. The green roof slows rainwater discharge, directing it to cisterns for reuse in the cooling system, toilets, and outdoor faucets. Meanwhile, the solar panels generate around 1,400 MWh annually – enough to power approximately 470 homes. EV charging stations have been included in the parking area on the ground floor. Additionally, 20% of the site has been

The logistics sector needs to prioritize the creation of efficient supply chains with a minimal impact on wider society. That's why we think far beyond each building at Montea. By building our distribution centers in strategic, multimodal locations, we are able to cater to the logistics demands of today and tomorrow. This is an area where data is starting to play an increasingly prominent role.

Standing the test of time

Our property portfolio is designed for longevity, ensuring value well beyond the initial lease term of 9, 12 or 15 years. To achieve this, we design robust, adaptable warehouses that can accommodate different types of occupiers and evolving needs.

We also stay one step ahead of conventional construction methods and installation techniques. For example, we are already using CLT structures and actively researching the potential of bio-based materials for future structures. We are also exploring methods to convert rainwater into safe drinking water.

3.4 Future-proof logistics solutions

"Our advanced infrastructure and optimal accessibility enable us to meet all our clients' logistics needs. At the same time, this brand-new depot symbolizes our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainable growth."

Olivier D'hoop Managing Director Herfurth

Multimodal accessible locations

A multimodal accessible site presents numerous opportunities to optimize the supply chain while minimizing our impact on surrounding communities. That's why a strategic location is a key factor when evaluating new site acquisitions. We prioritize locations with easy access to waterways, rail networks and motorways, as well as proximity to airports. Sites on the outskirts of cities also offer ideal conditions for last-mile delivery using small electric vehicles or cargo bikes.

In 2024, we acquired a site in the port of Hamburg, strengthened our presence in the port of Ghent, and purchased our first site in the port of Antwerp. In France, half of our newly acquired sites from the Reverso portfolio are situated along 'La Dorsale' – the country's main logistics corridor linking Lille, Paris, Lyon, and Marseille. Additionally, over a third are located along the 'Arc Atlantique,' France's western logistics corridor connecting Caen, Rennes, Nantes and Bordeaux. Every new acquisition is strategically positioned, accessible via multimodal routes and offers significant redevelopment potential.

City hubs for last-mile delivery

By building distribution hubs on the outskirts of a city, we can make last-mile delivery much more efficient, cleaner and more convenient. At Blue Gate, we redeveloped a highly polluted brownfield site on the outskirts of Antwerp, just a short distance from the port. We built a series of future-proof distribution centers with a major focus on energy efficiency.

In addition to big international players such as Amazon and DHL, we also managed to attract local companies. Our latest distribution center was built with two units, which were leased to Antwerp-based logistics company Herfurth and fashion house Dries Van Noten in late 2024.

Comfortable working environments

At the heart of our developments are not only our clients but also the more than 65,000 employees they support. Our developments transform old, abandoned industrial sites into workplaces with new job opportunities.

In doing so, we create thriving working environments for distribution center employees. Smart skylights equipped with daylight sensors and motion detection, maximize natural light. In new buildings, airtight loading bays minimize heat loss, improving both energy efficiency and working conditions.

Underfloor heating, advanced ventilation and highquality finishes contribute to a more comfortable indoor climate. We also incorporate bicycle sheds with charging stations, showers and green outdoor spaces to further enhance the working environment.

A data-driven business strategy

In 2024, we partnered with OQUila to build a robust and flexible IT architecture, enabling us to adapt seamlessly to digitalization demands, streamline operations and respond swiftly to market shifts with innovative solutions. This IT infrastructure serves as the backbone of our digital strategy. We firmly believe that data-driven insights are essential for staying ahead in the fast-evolving logistics sector.

"Our new 50,000 m2 distribution center in Waddinxveen is a centrally located facility that has replaced our three previous locations.

This site allows us to operate more efficiently and deliver our wide range of on-the-go products to clients more sustainably."

John van den Berg Director Operations Lekkerland Netherlands

Chilled and frozen distribution center at Logistics Park A12 in Waddinxveen

How it began

In August 2020, Montea acquired a 120,000 m² site in Waddinxveen. In 2022, we developed an initial distribution center comprising ca. 50,000 m² on the site, which is leased to HBM Machines.

Progress in 2024

During Q3, we delivered a sustainable chilled and frozen distribution center comprising ca. 50,000 m² for Lekkerland. This wholesale and logistics service provider forms part of the German group REWE and entered into a 15-year index-linked lease with Montea. The client was closely involved in the entire development process.

Friso Rienks Development Director Montea Netherlands

Making it sustainable

The property is fitted with one of the most efficient cooling systems in the Netherlands. Waste heat from the cooling system is used to heat the offices and prevent the cold store floors from freezing. A combination of underfloor heating and heat pumps provides a highly efficient and low-maintenance way of heating the space. This innovative cooling system was designed using the box-in-box principle, meaning it will be relatively easy to adapt the building for future occupiers. The building has been designed to capture rainwater from the roof and reuse it in the local area. The roof has been fitted with solar panels. When combined with an adjacent part of the development built in 2022, this will create a total roof area of 80,000 m². The solar panels generate close to 9,000 MWh, enough to power 3,000 homes. The distribution center features 32 EV charging points, including for electric trucks. In 2025, Montea will also build a battery energy storage system at the site, with a capacity of 9 MWh.

The building was fitted with QuadCore™ panels with a high R value and energy-efficient LED lighting. The property also benefits from large windows to draw in plenty of natural light. Together with light interior colors, this creates a pleasant working environment for employees in the warehouse.

Gaining recognition

In January 2025, we won the Logistics Award from real estate magazine PropertyNL. The expert jury praised the sustainable features, innovation and employee-friendly design of the logistics center, while also highlighting our close collaboration with both our client Lekkerland and construction group Remmers. The jury included engineer and researcher Merten Nefs (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and renowned consultant René Buck.

We work closely with clients, experienced developers, landowners and port and airport operators, forging strong partnerships that form the cornerstone of our growth. The key to these partnerships is a forward-thinking, solutionbased approach, with a constant drive for added value.

The Monteaneers

Chairman Dirk De Pauw and CEO Jo De Wolf have run the company together for 14 years. They laid the foundations of our multigenerational approach and form an integral part of Montea, along with every 'Monteaneer'. At the end of 2024, Montea employed 61 people in the four countries where we operate. Management has placed a great deal of responsibility and trust in the teams, as they work toward the common vision of long-term value creation.

Monteaneers are part of a scalable, forward-looking organizational structure. On the one hand, we have local teams in each country covering business development, asset management, property management and accounting. Meanwhile, all group and country support services such as finance, tax, IT, sustainability, legal support, HR, marketing, communications and PR are primarily handled in Belgium.

3.5 Strong relationships

"My job doesn't really feel like work to me. I'm lucky to be following my passion, in an industry close to my heart. As a team, we really make a difference for our clients, shareholders, management and directors. We work hard, but we do it with a smile on our faces. We enjoy ourselves and we can work smarter together."

Jan Van Doorslaer Finance & Risk Manager

Our FEET values

Montea can only grow if our employees grow alongside us. To foster team development, we have embraced our FEET values, which originated from a co-creation process involving employees from various departments and countries – our FEET ambassadors. In spring 2024, we introduced FEET to all employees during a dedicated workshop. Since then, these values have been embedded into key processes, such as recruitment and selection, performance management and career development.

FOCUS (proactive and flexible): all our actions, energy and talents drive our client-focused strategy, while we continue to respond flexibly and proactively to changing circumstances.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP (ownership, pragmatism): at Montea, we take ownership of our roles, trust in each other and have the courage to take practical, results-oriented decisions.

EXPERTISE (targeted, inquisitive): through our inquisitive nature and dedication to targeted growth, we cultivate and share expertise.

TEAM SPIRIT (reliable, empathetic): together, we promote cooperation, open communication and a positive feeling of engagement. We work as one team, treat one another with respect and empathy, and strive to become the best version of ourselves.

Through rigorous selection procedures, we seek a diverse mix of experiences and personalities – individuals with the right skills who align with our entrepreneurial corporate culture. In both recruitment and talent management, we actively prioritize diversity – not only in gender and background, but also in knowledge and expertise. This multifaceted approach enables us to tackle challenges from various perspectives and fosters a dynamic working environment where everyone has equal opportunities.

Tailor-made development plans

We are committed to retaining employees and supporting their growth in alignment with their ambitions. Our individual development plans, introduced in 2023, were further rolled out across the organization in 2024. Today, more than 90% of Monteaneers have one of these plans. To become a specialist leader, we recognize the need for customized opportunities.

Regular one-on-one consultations between employees and supervisors are one example of this. Employees are encouraged to develop both hard and soft skills through various training opportunities, including internal training sessions and workshops, external retraining programs (e.g., GoodHabitz, Cevora and other training institutes), on-the-job learning and individual coaching.

A major focus in the coming years will be digital competence – an essential pillar of our Track27 growth plan, which will also be reflected in Monteaneers' development plans.

Attractive and fair pay

Every Monteaneer receives a fair, attractive wage, determined using market rates and consistent criteria for each employee category. We offer opportunities for personal development and a range of supplementary benefits.

To maintain alignment with market standards, we regularly review and adjust our compensation and benefits as needed. Monteaneers also have the opportunity to join share option and share purchase schemes. With a sign-up rate of more than 85%, these programs have proved to be a resounding success over the years. Thanks to initiatives such as these, employee engagement is stronger than ever.

Fostering well-being and connection

As our organization grows internationally, fostering strong connections among colleagues remains a priority. Effective internal communication and knowledgesharing play a vital role in aligning our teams.

In 2024, employees from different countries across our three centers of expertise – business development, project development and property – met several times to exchange knowledge and share best practices.

Additionally, managers conduct regular check-ins with their teams, while team-building activities centered on well-being and health are held regularly. For example, in 2024, Monteaneers from various departments once again participated in IMMORUN, a sporting event that brings together professionals from the real estate sector.

Human Capital Scan 2024: committed to the cause

In 2022 we teamed up with an external party to launch our first Human Capital Scan, a survey to measure employee satisfaction at Montea. The survey assesses a range of aspects such as commitment, energy and leadership, but also focuses on stress factors and risk of burnout.

The first Human Capital Scan demonstrated high levels of employee engagement. The survey also showed very high scores for job satisfaction – in fact, the highest according to external benchmarking – as well as high levels of emotional loyalty and very low turnover intention.

"We encourage teamwork, creativity and initiative, creating a strong sense of independence. It's a winning formula, because we have a fantastic team. We have high satisfaction levels, people are committed to the team and the atmosphere is excellent."

Steven Claes Chief Human Resources Officer

Following our expansion and various organizational changes in 2022 and 2023, we decided to repeat the Human Capital Scan in Q2 2024. As many as 98% of Monteaneers took part and once again, we recorded top results in terms of job satisfaction and emotional loyalty. Turnover intention remains very low at Montea.

Average number of training hours/FTE 55 Gender 23 38 women men Employee uptake rate for shares and options 85%

Even since doubling our workforce, the results were just as positive as the 2022 survey. This proves that our HR policy is clearly scalable and focused on the right issues. Various teams are now taking part in follow-up initiatives, including well-being workshops to improve monitoring of people's work-life balance. These initiatives are targeted at further improving our results and keeping satisfaction levels high across the entire organization.

Strategy In Action Program: strategic agility Since 2021, together with other leading Belgian businesses, we have taken part in the Strategy in Action Program (SIAP) at the Vlerick Business School. This program supports participating companies in planning and implementing their strategic objectives.

A survey of employees from all participating companies revealed that Montea has an exceptionally high level of strategic maturity. Our agility in terms of resource allocation ensures that we can respond quickly to changing conditions in the property market. We also have a unique ability to effectively convey our strategic goals through internal communication, across all organizational levels.

We always focus on that commitment from day one. During their first working week, newcomers are given an introduction to our mission, vision and strategy by our CHRO Steven Claes. This ensures that everyone is on board with the direction we are taking from the very outset, and a bond of trust is quickly established. This explains our high commitment levels.

"In 2024, we created our first ever internal communication role. As Montea continues to grow, internal communication is becoming increasingly vital to the success of our company. Internal events are highly valued and our expertise groups help employees from different countries to learn from each other and share their knowledge. In 2024, our monthly internal newsletter 'Montea Matters' gained a loyal following and the Inspirational Team Meetings are also well attended. When we conducted a survey, we found that the employees in our four countries are very satisfied, enjoy a positive working atmosphere and a real sense of camaraderie."

Liora Kern Chief Marketing & Communication Officer

"By actively involving our employees in strategic decision-making and organizational goals, we succeed in building their internal motivation."

Steven Claes Chief Human Resources Officer

"We are delighted that our employees are so positive about working at Montea. This demonstrates the strong culture we have built and our commitment to creating a great place to work."

In spring 2024, we strengthened our foothold in the Port of Ghent through a sale-and-leaseback transaction with Belgian transport company Tailormade Logistics (TML). As part of the agreement, TML has committed to leasing the 20,000 m2 site – which includes a warehouse and its headquarters – for at least 10 years.

Project partners

We are able to achieve much of our growth through unique partnerships with developers, landowners and other partners. In a challenging market like today's, our in-depth market knowledge and ability to access new capital play a major role in attracting potential partners.

By surrounding ourselves with the right partners early in the development process, we can provide our clients with the ideal solution in terms of location, building and services. We monitor the entire construction process, exchange knowledge and experience, provide project financing and deliver top-level properties.

Our clients

We regularly work together with our clients to listen to their challenges and collaborate on solutions that support their business growth. More than just partners, our clients serve as our primary advisors and sources of inspiration for innovation. For example, their concerns about electrification and grid congestion have reinforced our commitment to maximizing our own power supply and storage capabilities.

In today's volatile market, we also work alongside our clients to navigate financial challenges. With rising interest rates making traditional financing more difficult, we offer alternative funding solutions such as sale-and-leaseback transactions. Through this model, we acquire their property and allow them to lease it back at competitive market rates.

Our close relationships with clients are built on trust. By understanding their spcific needs, we are able to deliver tailored properties and services that align perfectly with their objectives. These relationships are reflected in our long-term commitments, with an average lease term of 6.8 years and 5.9 years to first lease break.

"The distribution center needed to be both high-quality and sustainable. This project is a perfect example of what we can achieve by working together."

Pieter Remmers DGA Remmers Bouwgroep

In autumn 2024, we successfully delivered a state-of-the-art refrigerated and frozen distribution center in Waddinxveen (Logistics Park A12) for our client Lekkerland. This highly sustainable project was carried out through close collaboration between Montea, Lekkerland, and Remmers Bouwgroep:

"This distribution center provides our employees with a bright and comfortable working environment. Steel was chosen over concrete for its lighter weight, softer impact on employees and significantly lower emissions."

Hendrik Metz

Manager Logistic Support at Lekkerland, Netherlands

"Right from the outset, our initial design focused on creating an appealing work environment for everyone at Lekkerland. Strategically placed windows flood the property with natural light, while a spacious canteen and relaxing indoor garden further enhance user well-being."

Hylcke Okkinga Country Director Montea Netherlands

Investors

At Montea, we focus on more than just growth. We strive for long-term added value and a manageable debt ratio. EPRA earnings per share have been rising consistently for years, registering an average growth rate of 9% since 2014. Montea has also offered a rising or stable dividend every year since 2014.

By developing our own extensive land bank, we are able to offer continued value growth to our shareholders. Since the start of the interest rate crisis in 2022, Montea has continued to successfully deliver an average total return of more than 8%. As a result of our prudent financial policy, we managed to keep our debt ratio (LTV) below 40% since 2019, a figure almost unheard of in our sector.

In 2024, we received our first credit rating from Fitch; a solid long-term investment-grade rating of BBB+ with a stable outlook. This rating recognizes our high-quality logistics portfolio in Western Europe and its steady income from long-term leases, index-linked rental increases and consistently high occupancy rates. Fitch also assigned an A rating to our senior unsecured debt.

We attend conferences, roadshows and individual calls to update analysts, existing investors and potential new investors, as well as providing longer-term forecasts. The launch of our Track27 growth plan attracted a great deal of investor interest.

Society

Building a more sustainable logistics sector

Many people are concerned about new logistics centers being built at a time when land is in short supply. In the Netherlands, a debate has been raging for some time over the visual impact of logistics properties. Montea shares this concern – which is precisely why we have placed so much emphasis on reclaiming and redeveloping abandoned industrial sites for over a decade now. People have been very appreciative of this approach in the local communities where we operate.

Our developments also demonstrate our ambition to help build a more sustainable logistics sector. Our new developments generate more energy than they consume, and we have been able to build attractive places for people to work. We also focus on building in strategically interesting locations, such as city hubs for last-mile delivery, and sites with existing or potential multimodal transport links.

Speech by former Dutch Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende at Transport & Logistics

"Thanks to its extensive land bank, Montea is able to stand out from the competition. In Western Europe, where land supply is limited, this is a particularly unique asset. Montea's land bank provides the perfect basis for continued growth. The company is also preparing for the future, with sustainability forming the bedrock of the business."

Inna Maslova Investor Relations Manager Montea

Liora Kern Chief Marketing & Communication Officer

"We give a voice to strong personalities and showcase the real stories behind their achievements. By sharing their challenges, milestones and successes, they inspire personal and professional growth, foster meaningful connections and create space for diverse perspectives."

Christine De Glas Head of Marketing & External Communications

Supporting projects with a social impact

Monteaneers demonstrate their social responsibility by supporting good causes and projects. Here are just a few examples from 2024:

  • Once again, we collected bottle caps to raise funds for the Belgian Guide Dog Center (BCG).
  • We are members of The Shift, a platform that helps unite organizations around the goal of achieving a more sustainable economy.
  • We awarded a cash prize to two students who wrote the best paper at the University of Antwerp's summer school on Urban Logistics.
  • We sponsored the Parkinson Stair Run and participated with our own team. This event involved tower running at RSC Anderlecht's football stadium, to raise money for research into Parkinson's disease, which affects some 40,000 Belgians.
  • We volunteered with Feestvarken VZW to wrap birthday presents for children in poverty.
  • We supported Tinnitus Awareness Week and Sonhouse, the production team behind the 'Journey through the noise' podcast. Peter Demuynck, our Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer, also shared his personal experience with tinnitus in the first episode of 'Tinnitus Story', a podcast raising awareness about this invisible condition.

  • At a number of our Belgian sites, green maintenance is carried out by social enterprise De Loods from Erembodegem.
  • We are members of the Vlerick Sustainability Center. As part of our annual membership, we contribute to social impact initiatives, including student funding. In 2024, we supported the Opportunity & Equality scholarship fund, enabling four Master in International Management & Strategy (MIMS) students to pursue their studies at Vlerick.
  • Following the maximum implementation of thoughtful reduction measures, we compensated the remaining CO2 emissions from the Montea operations by financially supporting a reforestation project in France in 2024. In this project, trees are replanted in large numbers, capturing and storing CO2 through photosynthesis as they grow. In this way, they are removing CO2 from the atmosphere.

2024 was a year of great success for Montea. We recorded the largest annual portfolio growth in our history, despite an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. In 2025, we anticipate strong demand for sustainable logistics real estate in key strategic locations, driven by continued e-commerce growth and increasing consumer demand. We are determined to capitalize on these opportunities as part of our ambitious Track27 growth plan.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Confirming our Track27 targets

  • EPRA earnings of €4.90 per share (+8% y/y from recurring activities) for 2025. This does not take into account a potential €0.09 boost in EPRA earnings per share if Montea is recognized as having FBI status in the Netherlands for the 2024 financial year.
  • Dividends grow to €3.90 per share (+8% y/y from recurring activities) for 2025. Again, this is without accounting for the potential additional one-off FBI effect. If Montea is recognized in 2025 as having had FBI status for the 2024 financial year, then 80% of the resulting effect will be distributed as an exceptional dividend.
  • For 2027, Montea reconfirms its EPRA earnings increase to €5.60 per share in 2027, a 6% average annual percentage growth compared to 2023.
  • A combined investment volume of €1.2 billion, increasing the portfolio value by more than 50% over the four-year period to €3.5 billion by the end of 2027. After one year, more than 40% of this has already been allocated or is in the process of being allocated. Our growth plans include a mix of development projects on our extensive land bank, acquisitions and improvements to our existing portfolio. Strategic partnerships with developers are also central to our growth strategy.
  • This growth will be achieved through disciplined capital allocation, placing a clear focus on operational excellence. Track27 is built on our solid financial position.
  • Reducing CO2 emissions by 45% in our existing portfolio by the end of 2027 (compared to 2019), including through:
    • our commitment to all our new buildings being carbon neutral, producing net zero greenhouse gas emissions;
    • doubling the capacity of solar panels on our roofs to 135 MWp over the next four years, by investing almost €27 million;
    • investing around €50 million in 100 MWh of battery energy storage systems, to guarantee sufficient electricity 24/7 and also help stabilize the grid. Confirming our Track27 targets

Track27 is built on our solid financial position

Multigenerational approach

We consider our impact on future generations at every step, ensuring long-term sustainable and profitable growth. This is precisely why we are so strongly committed to ensuring our logistics properties are built to last. We continue to prioritize prime strategic locations, multimodal sites and robust, flexible buildings.

A data-driven business strategy

With a cutting-edge IT architecture, we can swiftly adapt to market changes and integrate innovative AI solutions. In a rapidly evolving logistics sector, a data-driven strategy is essential for staying ahead.

Monteaneers: our driving force

Our team is the driving force behind Montea. We constantly aim for a retention rate of at least 90%. Our independently conducted employee satisfaction survey, The Human Capital Scan, has revealed high levels of pride among all Monteaneers.

To reinforce this commitment, we offer share option and buyback programs to employees. These schemes have proven very successful in recent years, with over 85% taking up the shares and options offered. Our goal is to maintain or even surpass this level of participation in the coming years.

"To stay ahead, we must embrace technology. Further digitalization of our strategy will be a key priority in the coming years."

Els Vervaecke CFO

"When it comes to our FEET values, Entrepreneurship is one of the most important. We have built a structure that drives entrepreneurship, both in the countries where we operate and in our corporate services. We always encourage our employees to develop further."

Jo De Wolf CEO

On the right track

We continue to base our investment strategy on a firm commitment to creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders. Our acquisition of the Reverso portfolio is a clear example of this. Made possible by a €154 million capital increase, it demonstrates our focus on multigenerational (re)development potential, even in today's complex market.

Our specialist leaders work hard each and every day to reach Montea's growth ambitions. With dedicated teams across four countries and a solid backbone of corporate services in our home market Belgium, we rely on each other to support our clients in their international growth story. We have set the bar high, but thanks to our strong financial position and positive drive, we will continue to deliver on our ambitions in the years to come.

Our core message therefore remains the same as ever: we are very much on track, with no signs of slowing down. We have a strong track record and a solid pipeline of sites within our land bank for the future. Long-term value creation is and will remain the beating heart of our market strategy for 2025 and beyond.

Market view 2025

A changed market

As we focus on the goals of Track27, we are looking to expand our investor base. It is now more important than ever to diversify our sources of capital – especially in a market that has changed so dramatically since 2022.

Thanks to our robust balance sheet and strategic expertise, we continue to create value for our stakeholders throughout the various stages of the market cycle. This is something that we will continue to build on in 2025.

Standing out from the crowd

Montea is often praised for its unique approach. What makes us different? Our entrepreneurial spirit, the scale and quality of our land bank and our strategic focus on regions in Western Europe where land is most scarce give us a distinct competitive edge.

Our substantial land bank enables us to continue expanding without the immediate need for new acquisitions. Additionally, our multi-year Track27 growth plan improves long-term investor confidence. It's about daring to think beyond the here and now – we have both the talent and the resources to achieve this.

Strong relationships

In today's capital markets, we actively strengthen our position by collaborating closely with analysts and banks. Our roadshows and conferences serve as key touchpoints for engaging with both existing and potential investors. In 2025, we will continue to expand our investor outreach, targeting new geographical areas and deepening ties with our existing shareholders.

"Transparency forms the core of our communication. As an investor and developer in four countries, with expertise in every stage of logistics property management, we understand the ever changing complexity of the logistics market. It is important that our stakeholders are kept informed of this."

Inna Maslova Investor Relations Manager

"Our multi-year Track27 growth plan improves longterm investor confidence. It's about daring to think beyond the here and now – we have both the talent and the resources to achieve this."

5.1 Group results

5.1.1 Key figures

2) The occupancy rate is calculated based on square meters. In calculating this occupancy rate, the unlettable square meters intended for redevelopment and the land bank were disregarded in terms of both numerator and denominator.

3) The figure for the surface area of leased land (the part of the land bank yielding a return) is 20% of the total surface area; given that the average rental value of a plot equates to ca. 20% of the rental value of a logistics property.

4) The portfolio value includes transaction costs.

5) The value for accounting purposes is in line with IAS/IFRS rules, excluding property intended for own use. 6) The operating result (before portfolio result*) is divided by the property result to arrive at the operating margin*. 7) Financial result (excluding changes in the fair value of the financial instruments)*: this is the financial result pursuant to the Royal Decree of July 13, 2014 on regulated real estate companies, excluding the change in the fair value of the financial instruments, and reflects the company's actual financing cost. 8) EPRA earnings*: these are the net earnings (after recognition of the operating result before portfolio result*, minus the financial results and corporate income tax, excluding deferred taxes), minus the changes in the fair value of investment properties and properties intended for sale, minus the result from the sale of investment properties, plus the changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

9) The EPRA earnings per share are the EPRA earnings based on the weighted average number of shares. 10) Portfolio result*: this concerns the positive and/or negative changes in the fair value of the property portfolio plus any capital gains or losses from property construction. 11) Changes in the fair value of financial hedging instruments: this concerns the positive and/or negative changes in the fair value of the interest hedging instruments under IFRS 9. 12) EPRA LTV*, or EPRA Loan to value*, is a measure to determine the percentage of debt relative to the assessed value of the properties and is calculated by dividing the net debt by the total property value (solar panels included).

13) Debt ratio pursuant to the Royal Decree of July 13, 2014 on regulated real estate companies. 14) The Adjusted net debt/EBITDA* differs from the net debt/EBITDA* in that the net financial liabilities in the numerator are adjusted for projects currently under construction multiplied by the debt ratio, while the denominator is adjusted for the annualized impact of external growth. 15) IFRS NAV: Net Asset Value, or intrinsic value, before profit distribution of the current financial year in accordance with the IFRS balance sheet (excluding minority interests). The IFRS NAV per share is calculated by dividing the equity according to IFRS by the number of shares entitled to dividends on the balance sheet date. 16) EPRA Net Reinstatement Value*: The NRV is based on the assumption that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value needed to rebuild the entity. The purpose of this indicator is to reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including real estate transfer taxes. The EPRA NRV per share is the EPRA NRV* based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date. 17) EPRA Net Tangible Assets* assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby realizing certain levels of deferred taxation. The NTA* is the NAV adjusted to include properties and other investments at fair value and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallize in a long-term investment property business model. The EPRA NTA per share is the EPRA NTA* based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date.

18) EPRA Net Disposal Value* provides the reader with a scenario of the sale of the company's assets that leads to the realization of deferred taxes and the liquidation of debt and financial instruments. The EPRA NDV per share is the EPRA NDV* based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date. 19) Share price at the end of the period.

* Alternative Performance Measure (APM) in accordance with the guidelines issued by ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority). The APMs used by Montea, including the EPRA performance indicators, are marked with an asterisk (*) in this publication, in order to inform the reader that the definition concerns an APM. Performance indicators defined by IFRS rules

or the law and the indicators not based on the balance sheet or income statement headings are not regarded as APMs. The detailed calculation of the EPRA performance indicators and of other APMs used by Montea is provided in chapter 10 (section 10.1 and 10.2) of this annual report.

1) Includes real estate intended for sale.

5.1.2 Summary

EPRA earnings* of €99.3 million, up more than 10% compared to 2023. EPRA earnings* from recurring operations amounted to €95.6 million, increasing by more than 17% versus the previous year1 . Excluding the one-off effects in 2023 and 2024 – and accounting for a 14% increase in shares – EPRA earnings* per share rose by 2% to €4.55 per share. Including the FBI recognition for the 2023 financial year2 , EPRA earnings* amount to €4.73 per share.

2024 marked the largest portfolio growth in Montea's history, with an increase of €513 million. This takes the total value of the portfolio to €2.8 billion, thanks to €441 million of investments in 2024 and a €72 million value uplift compared to year-end 2023. Montea extended its footprint in France significantly thanks to the acquisition of Reverso – a portfolio comprising 17 fully leased sites. Strategically located along France's main logistics corridors (La Dorsale and L'Arc Atlantique), these sites are a valuable addition to Montea's extensive land bank. On top of this ca. €150 million investment in France, Montea also expanded its German portfolio via an investment of approximately €50 million in the port of Hamburg.

In terms of development projects, this year saw the completion of four leased projects (totaling approximately 100,000 m²), including the state-of-the-art chilled and frozen food distribution center for Lekkerland in Waddinxveen (NL), the e-commerce home delivery center for Delhaize in Vorst (BE), as well as the last mile development at Blue Gate in Antwerp for Herfurth and Dries Van Noten Group (BE). Four further developments totaling ca. 125,000 m² are currently underway, including Montea's largest development to date – a 91,000 m² distribution center in Tiel for Intergamma. Future development potential of approximately 530,000 m² was also added to the company's extensive land bank.

At the beginning of October, Montea completed a successful capital increase of €154 million in the form of a public offer to subscribe for new shares, the proceeds being used to finance the Track27 rollout and the acquisition of the Reverso portfolio, which formed a key part of this growth plan. This pushed the EPRA LTV* down to 34.8% at the end of 2024. Montea has more than €600 million available to invest in growing its portfolio via Track27, while not exceeding the Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted)* limit of ca. 8x.

Strong fundamentals in volatile macro environment:

  • Consistently low EPRA LTV* of 34.8% and Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted)* of 6.9x
  • Stable average cost of debt* of 2.3%
  • Long-term loan and hedging agreements for unencumbered assets (both have an average unexpired term of approximately 6.0 years)
  • Solid liquidity position, with €204 million of immediately available funding at year-end

Montea's portfolio has increased in value by €72 million, up 3.2% year-on-year (in Q3: +€59 million) thanks to the uplift in value of the existing portfolio and latent capital gains on project developments and recent acquisitions. Thanks to strong portfolio indicators, the EPRA Net Initial Yield* stands at 5.1%:

  • Consistently high occupancy rate of 99.9%
  • The average term to first break date is 5.9 years (if solar panels are included this rises to 6.3 years)
  • The average unexpired lease term is 6.8 years (if solar panels are included this rises to 7.2 years)
  • The average age of the properties in the portfolio is ca. 10 years
  • Existing leases are over 12% below market rent, meaning it is well positioned to benefit from future rental uplift potential
  • Inflation-proof cash flow (inflation-linked rental income) demonstrated by like-for-like rental growth of 3.4%, indexation accounting for 3.1% of this and lease renewals 0.3%
  • The average lease term for fully pre-let projects under construction is ca. 14 years

2023

(1) The 2023 result included recognition of the FBI status in the Netherlands for the 2021 and 2022 financial years, as well as the release of the built-in provision following the reduction in green energy certificates in Flanders, announced in 2022, but not implemented, resulting in an exceptional result of €8.2 million at December 31, 2023. The 2024 result includes recognition of the 2023 FBI status, resulting in an exceptional result of €3.7 million at December 31, 2024. Including these one-off effects, EPRA earnings* are up 10%. (2) Given that tax returns are filed once the calendar year has ended, in principle, the positive effect of FBI status is not passed through to the results until the following financial year at the earliest.

5.1.3 Financial results

Historical figures

For a description of Montea's financial position and results for the 2022 and 2023 financial years, please refer to the sections indicated below. These results include changes in the financial position and results and, where significant and insofar as necessary for good understanding, the causes of those changes.

Summary of the consolidated financial statements

Condensed consolidated (analytical) income statement as at December 31, 2024

(1) During 2023, Montea was recognized as an FBI for the period 2015 to 2022, resulting in an exceptionally positive impact of €6.9 million due to the reversal of provisions to that effect. During 2024, Montea was recognized as an FBI for the 2023 period, resulting in an exceptionally positive impact of €3.7 million due to the reversal of provisions to that effect.

Net rental income

Net rental income for 2024 amounted to €115.1 million, up 8% (or €8.5 million) compared to the same period in 2023 (€106.6 million). This increase is attributable to strong organic rental growth, combined with rental income from the acquisition of new properties and leased land, as well as completed projects. In an unchanged portfolio scenario (i.e. excluding new acquisitions, sales and property developments between the two comparative periods in 2024 and 2023), rental income increased by 3.4%, driven primarily by the indexation of rental agreements (3.1%) and the reletting of vacant units and renegotiations with existing tenants (0.3%).

Thanks to the automatic indexation of rental agreements, the logistics property sector is one of the few sectors in which inflation can be largely passed on to clients.

Property result

The property result for 2024 amounted to €123.0 million, an increase of €6.9 million (6%) compared to the same period in the previous year (€116.1 million). In addition to net rental income, which was negatively impacted by a €1.3 million decrease in income from rental of PV installations, the property result includes other income from solar panels, which decreased by €1.6 million in 2024 compared to 2023. The decrease is due to the one-off effect of €1.3 million in 2023, resulting from the release of built-in provisions following the reduction in green energy certificates in Flanders announced in 2022 but not implemented. Lower electricity prices also played a role, partly offset by higher capacity.

Operating result before portfolio result

The company's property and general expenses, which are part of the operating result before the portfolio result, increased by €0.7 million in 2024 compared to 2023. This was mainly due to portfolio growth, wage indexation and the expansion of the team in order to achieve the pre-defined goals. As a result, the increase in the property result means that the property operating result before the portfolio result continues to stand at 6% compared to last year (from €102.8 million in 2023 to €108.9 million in 2024).

The operating margin*1 for 2024 is 88.5%, unchanged from 2023. The EPRA cost ratio* stands at 11.4% at the end of 2024, close to the 11.8% recorded at the end of 2023. In order to ensure future growth, Montea is investing heavily in business development in France and Germany and in corporate services. In a market in which Montea particularly focuses on in-house developments, these investments in the team will help drive rental income in the coming years. Montea aims to gradually increase its operating margin* to 90% in the medium term.

Financial result

The financial result excluding changes in the fair value of financial instruments* amounted to -€12.7 million, compared to -€18.0 million in the previous year, a decrease of 29% (€5.3 million). This result includes €10.5 million in capitalized interest expenses on developments, calculated on the basis of an estimated finance cost. In 2023, a total of €4.3 million was recorded in capitalized interest expenses on project developments, which was lower than in 2024 as part of the extensive land bank was not developed until 2024. If capitalized interest charges are not taken into account, the financial result increases from €-22.3 million in 2023 to €-23.2 million in 2024, due to an increase in average financial debt.

Of the total financial liability (including bond and lease liabilities, and including the recurring cost of land under concession), 97.8% was hedged as at December 31, 2024.

The average financing cost*2 , calculated on the basis of the average financial liability, in which our assets are unencumbered, is 2.3% for 2024, unchanged from 2023.

Tax

In 2023, Montea was recognized as an FBI for the period 2015 to 2022, which allowed the provisions set in 2021 and 2022 to be released during that period, resulting in an exceptionally positive impact of €6.9 million. In Q3 2024, Montea also received recognition as an FBI for the 2023 financial year, which enabled the €3.7 million provision to be reversed. This provision had been set up in the event of a possible refusal. Elsewhere in 2024, a tax provision was accrued in the income statement based on the same safeguard approach. This provision amounted to €2.3 million in 2024, and relates in particular to the tax burden under the general tax regime.

Given European law and the fact that FBI status was granted for the years 2015-2023, Montea is confident that it will also qualify for FBI status for 2024. Montea will therefore file its 2024 tax returns as an FBI, as Montea believes that it still meets all the conditions for claiming FBI status.

EPRA result*

EPRA earnings* for 2024 amounted to €99.3 million, up 10% (€9.3 million) compared to 2023 (€90.0 million). However, 2023 and 2024 were both impacted by the reversal of provisions following the recognition of FBI status, as well as the reversal of provisions related to green energy certificates in 2023. Not taking into account these exceptional effects, EPRA earnings* increased by 17% compared to 2023. This increase in EPRA earnings* is primarily due to strong portfolio growth, with operating and financial expenses being closely monitored and managed accordingly.

EPRA earnings per share for 2024 amounted to €4.73 per share, compared to €4.90 per share for 2023. Excluding exceptional effects during both periods, EPRA earnings per share grew by 2%, after taking into account a 14% increase in the weighted average number of shares following the share capital increases carried out in 2024.

Portfolio result*3

The portfolio result* for 2024 amounted to €75.0 million (€3.57 per share4 ), an increase of €32.2 million compared to 2023 (€42.8 million).

In 2024, the change in fair value of investment properties (€85.4 million) was driven by latent capital gains on project developments and an increase in the valuation of the existing portfolio, primarily driven by an increase in market rents of approximately 4%, which was partially offset by the yield moving out by 5 bps. The portfolio is valued at an EPRA Net Initial Yield* of 5.1%, which is stable compared to year-end 2023.

In addition, the provision for deferred tax on the Dutch portfolio result, created as a safeguard (not obtaining FBI status, see the 'Tax' section), had a negative impact of €10.4 million on the real estate portfolio result* at December 31, 2024. During 2024, the €5.2 million of deferred tax on the property result in 2023 was reversed and the deferred tax provision for 2024 was created in the amount of €15.6 million.

The portfolio result* is not a cash item and has no impact on EPRA earnings*.

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments
The negative change in fair value of financial instruments at
the end of 2024 amounted to -€2.7 million, or -€0.13 per share,
compared to a negative change of -€14.0 million at the end of
2023. The change in the fair value of financial instruments had a
negative impact on net income due to declining long-term interest
rates.
The changes in the fair value of financial instruments are not a
cash item and have no impact on EPRA earnings*.
Net result (IFRS)
The net result consists of the EPRA earnings, the portfolio result
and the changes in the fair value of financial instruments, as well
as the impact of provisions for deferred tax on the Dutch portfolio
result recognized for reasons of prudence (not obtaining FBI
status, see the 'Tax' section).
The difference between EPRA earnings and the net result in
2024 was primarily due to the significant increase in value of the
property portfolio
in 2024 compared to 2023.
The net result (IFRS) per share5
amounted to €8.17 per share,
compared to €6.46 per share in 2023

As at December 31, 2024, total assets (€2,885.0 million) primarily consist of investment property (83% of the total), solar panels (2% of the total) and developments (11% of the total). The remaining amount of assets (4%) comprises the other tangible and financial fixed assets intended for own use and current assets, including cash investments, trade and tax receivables.

  • The total lettable area of the buildings in the property portfolio is 2,132,243 m², distributed over 118 sites, more specifically 43 sites in Belgium, 35 sites in France, 37 sites in the Netherlands and 3 sites in Germany.
  • The occupancy rate as at December 31, 2024 is 99.9%, compared to 100% at year end 2023. The very limited amount of vacant space is at Le Mesnil-Amelot (FR) and was previously leased to Espace Phone.
  • Montea's total property portfolio value stands at €2,792.8 million, consisting of the valuation of the buildings in the property portfolio (€2,405.2 million), the fair value of the current property developments (€316.6 million) and the fair value of the solar panels (€71.0 million). Compared to year-end 2023, the fair value of the real estate portfolio has increase by 23%, primarily due to an investment volume of €440.8 million, complemented by €88.1 million of latent capital gains on project developments and upgrades to the existing portfolio. This was primarily driven by a ca. 4% increase in estimated market rents, which was partially offset by the yield moving out by 5 bps. The positive effects of development margins and upgrades are partially offset by a €15.8 million write-down on solar panels due to declining compensation for excess energy. The solar panel revaluation was largely accounted for through equity, in accordance with IAS 16.

  • The yield on the total investment properties calculated based on contracted annual rental income amounted to 5.35%, compared to 5.26% at December 31, 2023.
  • The contractual annual rental income (excluding rental guarantees) amounted to €128.6 million, a 17% increase compared to December 31, 2023, which, in addition to rent indexation, is due to the acquisition of the Reverso portfolio and properties in the ports of Hamburg, Ghent, Luithagen, Maastricht and Diemen, as well as the completions of Vorst, Waddinxveen, Blue Gate and Tongeren, partially offset by the development of the plots in Tiel and Born.
  • The fair value of ongoing developments is €316.6 million and consists of:
    • Property developments in the pipeline
      • the plots acquired in Tongeren (BE)
      • the ongoing extension of the development in Aalst (BE)

  • The fair value of solar panels of €71.0 million relates to 55 solar-panel facilities across Belgium, France and the Netherlands.

• 101,000 m² of new project developments were completed in 2024. There is also a further 124,000 m² of lettable area in new developments currently under construction. All existing projects under construction are 100% pre-let. Future development potential of approximately 532,000 m² was also added to the company's land bank, therefore Montea has a total remaining land reserve of approx. 2,720,000 m² at 31/12/2024. Around 830,000 m² of this will be developed in the short-term. With the remaining land bank standing at around 1,890,000 m², Montea retains significant development potential. This gives it the necessary flexibility both now and in the future to schedule and carry out investments

Totaal land bank

Projects in the pipeline 830,000 m²

Future development potential 1,890,000 m² Around 2.2 million m² of this land reserve (79% of the total land bank) has been acquired and is valued in the property portfolio for a total value of €540.7 million, equivalent to a market value of €250/m2 . Moreover, 55% of this land reserve generates an immediate average yield of 5.8%. In addition, Montea controls around 0.6 million m² (21% of the total land bank) via partnership agreements it has in place.

(1) Includes properties held for sale.

(2) Excludes the estimated rental value of projects under construction and/or renovation.

(3) The fair value of the investment in solar panels is included in section "D" of non-current assets in the balance sheet.

Breakdown of equity and liabilities at December 31, 2024

Total liabilities consist of shareholders' equity of €1,804.3 million and total liabilities of €1,080.7 million.

  • Equity amounted to €1,804.3 million as at December 31, 2024, compared to €1,520.8 million at year-end 2023.
  • Total liabilities of €1,080.7 million consist of:
    • Financial liabilities:
      • €257.6 million in credit lines taken out with six financial institutions. Montea has €449.2 million in contracted credit lines as at December 31, 2024, on which €191.6 million is undrawn;
      • €665.0 million in contracted bond loans that were fully drawn down, of which €235.0 million in green bonds which Montea contracted in 2021 (US private placement) and €380.0 million in green unsecured notes contracted in 2022 (US private placement);
      • 55% of the outstanding financing (€615.0 million) has now been issued under the Green Finance Framework.
    • Other liabilities:
      • a current lease liability of €61.5 million, consisting primarily of the recognition of a lease commitment relating to land under concession (entry into force of IFRS 16) and financing of the solar panels at the Aalst site;
      • €15.6 million in deferred tax; and
      • other liabilities and accruals amounting to €81.0 million.

5.2 Capital resources

5.2.1 General financing policy

Montea's total capital was €471,412,726.19 as at December 31, 2024, represented by 23,131,212 shares listed on both Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris. All issued shares are fully paid up and have no par value. Shares are registered and dematerialized. Each share carries one vote. As at December 31, 2024, Montea held 123,827 treasury shares.

The Sole Director is authorized to increase the share capital on one or more occasions, on a date and in accordance with terms that it shall set in accordance with the applicable legislation, subject to restrictions on the nature of the capital increases and without exceeding the maximum legally permitted amount of four hundred and ten million seventy-four thousand eight hundred and seven euro and seventy-seven euro cents (€410,074,807.77). See section 11.1.2.

The cost of financing is a major cost position in Montea's results. Montea therefore manages its financing costs proactively. The Company firstly ensures that its various sources of finance are available for as long as possible. The Company further endeavors to obtain finance with a variable rate of interest, the majority of which is hedged using hedging instruments.

This policy is based on the fact that this offers protection against disruptive fluctuations in the economic cycle.

In periods of strong macroeconomic conditions, the cost of financing may rise. In principle, that should be compensated by higher operating income (for instance, higher occupancy and higher inflation). However, this compensating effect is limited, and the Company has therefore switched to a policy of hedging the vast majority of its debt.

Indebtedness as at December 31, 2024

The Company ensures that it obtains the financing it requires in good time. The priority is always to strike the right balance between the cost of the financing, the term and maintaining a diversity of financing sources.

As at December 31, 2024, Montea had a total debt of €985.4 million (€981.9 million non-current and €3.5 million current), made up as follows:

Maturity credit lines and bonds Credit lines Bonds

(1) The item "Other" mainly includes leasing liabilities, relating to concession land, in accordance with IFRS16.

Breakdown of financial liabilities by their nature of hedging

The Company has utilized credit lines totaling €257.6 million. As at December 31, 2024, Montea had confirmed credit lines totaling €449.2 million at six financial institutions. The remaining unutilized capacity is €191.6 million, i.e. 57.4% of the credit lines have been drawn down. As at December 31, 2024, the weighted average unexpired term of these credit lines was 3.8 years.

Montea also has a total of €665.0 million in outstanding bond debt, all of which is fully subscribed. The bond debt primarily comprises €235.0 million of Green unsecured notes placed in 2021 (US private placement) and a further €380.0 million of Green unsecured notes placed in 2022 (US private placement). As at December 31, 2024, the weighted average time to maturity of the outstanding bond debt was 6.9 years.

Montea also has lease debt totaling €61.5 million, divided into non-current and current portions. This largely results from the lease liability in relation to the concession sites (IFRS 16) and the financing for the solar panels at the Aalst site. The weighted average unexpired term of the financial liabilities

(credit lines, bond loans and lease commitments) was 5.7 years as at December 31, 2024, a decrease compared to December 31, 2023 (6.6 years), primarily due to the passing of time.

The average cost of financing* debt was 2.3% in 2024 and is stable compared to the same period last year. The interest coverage ratio* was 4.5x at the end of December 2024 and is also stable compared to the end of 2023. This means that Montea more than meets the covenants in terms of the interest coverage ratio* entered into with its financial institutions.

The graph below shows in which year the credit lines and bond loans will mature, based on the situation as at December 31, 2024. The Company always ensures that debts do not all mature in the same year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has not granted any mortgage or pledge of business assets or granted any power of attorney to establish either a mortgage or a pledge of business assets; the Company's assets are unencumbered.

  • Hedged floating rate debt
  • Unhedged floating rate debt

EPRA LTV*

With an EPRA LTV* of 34.8% at the end of December 2024 (compared to 33.5% at the end of December 2023) and a Net debt/ EBITDA (adjusted)* of 6.9x, Montea's consolidated balance sheet demonstrates that the company has a high level of solvency. Each investment is assessed against Montea's financing strategy. This strategy consists of financing new investment properties with at least 50% equity and a maximum of 50% debt, which results in a maximum debt ratio of 50% and a Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted)* of around 8x.

In accordance with the GVV-KB, the Company's debt ratio cannot legally exceed 65%. The Company has entered into covenants with the financial institutions under which the consolidated debt ratio may not rise above 60% and the terms of the bonds stipulate a maximum consolidated debt ratio of 65%. The debt ratio, calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of July 13, 2014 on regulated real estate companies, is 35.7% at the end of December 2024.

Hedging of interest rate risk

As mentioned above, Montea adopts a financing policy under which a large portion of its financial debt is hedged. The hedge ratio*, which reflects the percentage of fixed-rate financial liabilities and floating-rate financial liabilities hedged by a hedging instrument, is 98% at the end of 2024.

As at December 31, 2024, the Company had entered into a total of €557.5 million in hedge agreements in the form of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps.

The weighted average unexpired term of the interest rate hedging instruments was 6.1 years at the end of December 2024. For a description of Montea's hedging instruments, please refer to section § (Note 17: Changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities) of this report.

Covenants and security

The contractual terms of the credit facilities stipulate that Montea must continue to qualify as a regulated real estate company (GVV) in Belgium, which requires it to comply with a maximum debt ratio of 60% and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio*. The contractual terms of the bonds also provide for a maximum debt ratio and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio*.

Montea confirms that all of these conditions were met throughout the 2024 financial year. As at December 31, 2024, the Interest Coverage Ratio* was 4.5x, stable relative to 4.5x at the end of the prior year.

5.2.4 Further strengthening of the financing structure in 2024

In 2024, Montea invested a total of €441 million and had a further €57 million committed in the investment pipeline to projects currently underway, together representing more than 40% of the forecast €1.2 billion combined investment volume that Montea intends to achieve over the four-year period. Prior to this, an appropriate financing strategy has been drawn up in order to meet these investment commitments and maintain the solid capital structure of the business.

In the course of 2024, the business strengthened its financial resources as follows:

Optional dividend – 60% of shareholders opt for shares

In order to support its further growth, Montea offered its shareholders an optional dividend1 in Q2. In total, 60% of coupons no. 26 (representing the dividend for the financial year 2023) were exchanged for new shares. As part of the authorized capital, 415,384 new shares were issued for a total issue amount of €31,536,784.05 (€8,465,484.38 in capital and €23,071,299.67 in issue premium). Capital increased after this transaction to €421,564,593.94, represented by 20,685,271 fully paid-up ordinary shares.

Successful capital increase

In order to finance the rollout of Track27, and in particular the acquisition of the Reverso portfolio as part of this growth plan, in September 20242 Montea launched a public offer to subscribe for 2,298,363 new shares. This entailed a capital increase in cash within the authorized capital, with irreducible allocation rights for a maximum amount of €153,990,321.00. The issue price was set at €67.00 per new share, with nine irreducible allocation rights giving the right to subscribe for one new share.

The first phase of the public offering was successfully completed by taking up 91.5% of the new shares, after which investors subscribed via an accelerated bookbuilding private placement by exercising scrips up to 100% of the offering. The transaction represents net proceeds (net of estimated costs and expenses) of ca. €151.7 million which will be added to equity. Capital increased after this transaction to €468,405,095 represented by 22,983,634 shares.

New loan agreements

Montea improved its liquidity position in 2024 by signing €155 million of new credit lines. These new credit lines were arranged with ABN Amro, ING and KBC.

Montea awarded its first-time issuer default rating by Fitch

Montea received its first-time issuer default rating in August. Fitch has assigned Montea a solid long-term investment grade rating of BBB+ with a stable outlook. This rating reflects Montea's high-quality logistics portfolio, concentrated in Western Europe and featuring a diversified, high-quality tenant base. The focus on strategic locations near key multimodal logistics hubs with good green credentials are viewed as a particular plus. The rating is bolstered further by its long-term leases with contractual index-linked rental uplifts and a consistently high occupancy rate, providing stable and visible income streams. This is one of the reasons why Fitch has assigned an A- rating to Montea's senior unsecured debt. Fitch also highlights Montea's strong financial position, with financing for new investments balanced between equity and debt, and no encumbered assets.

The awarding of a rating by an independent body confirms Montea's financial strength and creditworthiness, the aim of which is to gain better access to all capital markets, attracting a wider investor base and to benefit from favorable financing conditions.

Investment financing

The future investment obligations will be financed through available contracted credit lines. Given the EPRA LTV* of 34.8% at the end of December 2024, Montea has a sufficient buffer to take on additional debt in the form of credit lines, bonds and/or via a commercial paper program. By the end of December 2024, Montea has an investment capacity of more than €600 million available to finance the Track27 growth plan within the Net debt/EBITDA (adjusted) limit of ca. 8x.

5.3 Significant events after the reporting period

Montea Enters BEL203

Since March 2025, Montea has been part of the BEL20, the Belgian stock index that represents the twenty companies with the largest market capitalization and the most traded shares in the country. This recognition highlights Montea's position as a key player in the logistics real estate sector and also reaffirms the confidence in the sustainable long-term vision that Montea consistently prioritizes.

Montea Opens First Energy Hub in Willebroek4

In March, Montea officially opened its first energy hub in Willebroek, a groundbreaking project that marks a significant step in its sustainability strategy. Minister-President Matthias Diependaele was present to inaugurate the project and emphasize the importance of this large-scale initiative.

Our motivation is to support our customers in the energy challenge: there is often a shortage of available capacity, or the peak demand doesn't align with solar energy production. This creates an excess during low demand and a shortage during high demand. The innovative battery park smartly manages these reserves.

But we are going beyond this location: the implementation of the first phase, where we are installing 32 MWh of energy storage across 13 sites in Flanders, is well underway. By the end of 2027, this will culminate in an energy storage capacity of over 100 MWh across the various countries where Montea is active.

"Being included in the BEL20 index is a wonderful recognition of our mission and the dedication we demonstrate as a company. This is not only a milestone for Montea, but also for all of our employees, customers, and partners who have supported us along the way. We look forward to continuing our growth and creating lasting value."

5.4 Earnings forecasts or estimates

5.4.1 Outlook

  • Montea remains on track with its goals for 2025:
  • EPRA earnings* set to reach €4.90 per share (+8% y-o-y from recurring activities), without accounting for a potential €0.09 boost in EPRA earnings* per share1 following Montea's potential recognition of FBI status in the Netherlands for the 2024 financial year.
  • Dividends to reach €3.90 per share (+8% y-o-y from recurring activities), again without accounting for the potential additional one-off FBI effect. If Montea obtains FBI status for FY 2024 during 2025, Montea intends to pay 80% of the resulting effect as an extraordinary dividend.
  • Montea reconfirms its 2027 targeted increase in EPRA earnings* to €5.60 per share, an average annual growth rate of 6% compared to 2023.
  • 2024-2027 investment volume of €1.2 billion, growing the portfolio's value by more than 50% over this period compared to 31/12/2023, to €3.5 billion.
    • 2024: the forecast was €400 million, with an actual result of €441 million
    • 2025: €300 million
  • 2026-2027: €250 million per year

Our growth plans include a mix of development projects on the expanded land bank, acquisitions of existing buildings and plots of land and improvements to our existing portfolio. Montea is also investing in solar panels, battery energy storage and other sustainable solutions in the markets in which Montea currently operates. The company is also considering strategic partnerships with developers.

Montea plans to achieve growth through disciplined capital allocation, placing a clear focus on operational excellence. Track27 is built on our solid financial position, namely:

  • Average cost of debt* not exceeding 2.5%
  • Net debt/EBITDA (adj.)* of circa 8x
  • Minimum occupancy rate of 98%
  • Operating margin* of 90% by 2027

Qualitative targets

Montea aims to take a defining role in sustainability. More than 80% of our extensive land bank of over 2 million m2 currently comprises grey- and brownfield sites. We transform contaminated industrial sites into energy-positive logistics sites ready for the future. In the last few years, we have spent €15 million on land remediation.

It goes without saying that we ensure that all of our developments are fit for the future. We aim to reduce CO2 emissions from our existing portfolio by 45% by the end of 2027 (compared to 2019) via a series of measures, including:

  • our commitment to all our new buildings being carbon neutral, producing net zero greenhouse gas emissions
  • doubling the capacity of solar panels on our roofs to 135 MWp over the next four years, by investing almost €27 million
  • investing around €50 million in 100 MWh of battery energy storage systems, we will be able to guarantee our clients have sufficient electricity at all times of the day and also help stabilize the grid

Multigenerational strategy

At Montea, we consider our impact on future generations at every step, seeking long-term value creation over short-term profits. This is why we are focusing on sustainability and developing innovative logistics facilities, while continuing to prioritize:

• The best strategic locations, which are relevant now and will remain so in the future

  • Multimodal sites near ports, airports, motorways and railway stations
  • Multifunctional buildings that, rather than sell, we redevelop in partnership with our clients and partners

Our success lies in our people, not our properties

Our team is our driving force. We aim for a minimum 90% retention rate. The Human Capital Scan, which was conducted independently, shows great pride among all Monteaneers. The involvement of Monteaneers is secured through option or share purchase schemes. These schemes have proven very successful in recent years, with over 85% taking up the shares and options offered. Montea aims to maintain or even surpass this level of take-up in the future.

Conclusion

We have set the bar high, and our specialist leaders are already working hard to ensure we turn these goals into a reality. Located across four countries, our teams work closely together to support our clients in their international growth stories.

In short, our solid financial profile combined with strong market demand and, above all, our unparalleled drive, will ensure we successfully achieve the objectives set out in Track27. These goals set out the next chapter in our story — a future shaped by innovation, sustainability and shared success.

5.4.2 Assumptions underlying forecast EPRA results*

In the outlook, we set out the expected results in terms of the consolidated EPRA earnings* and the consolidated balance sheet for the 2025 financial year based on the figures reported in the annual financial report as at December 31, 2024, information that has become known since the balance sheet date, and calculated projections based on changes in the real estate, economic and financial markets.

Such forecasts and estimates cannot be regarded as a certainty. Montea's activities and the market in which it operates are subject to uncertainties and risks, and such prospective information therefore cannot be binding on the Company. The risk exists that the expectations may not be met.

5.4.3 Assumptions

Montea applies the customary accounting principles as adopted in connection with the preparation of the consolidated accounts as at December 31, 2024 under IFRS as applied by the European Union and implemented via the RREC Royal Decree.

In relation to property investments, the outlook for 2025 assumes that investments of around €300 million will be made during the course of 2025.

5.4.4 Assumptions regarding factors that Montea can directly affect

Net rental income

Net rental income is estimated based on current leases, taking account of the assumptions made in relation to indexation (see below) of the lease agreements, which are applied to all leases based on the anniversary date of the lease. For leases with a break option in 2025, estimates are made on an individual basis in relation to reletting (extension or renewal).

The investments made in 2024 only had a limited impact on 2024 net rental income, but contribute for a full year to the net rental income for 2025.

Net rental income also takes account of the investments already announced:

  • Investments due to be delivered in 2025 (see section 3.1 (projects in progress)) start contributing to net rental income an average of one month after the expected delivery date.
  • Investments in solar panel projects (see section 3.2 (renewable energy in new developments) do not contribute to net rental income, except solar panel projects in the Netherlands. Income linked to these investments is recognized in "Other rentalrelated income and expenses".
  • An additional target of €243 million (on top of €57 million in projects in progress, solar panel projects and battery energy storage parks), which includes €66 million on standing investments that will contribute to net rental income in 2025. The other €177 million is deemed to relate to build-to-suit developments which will only contribute to net rental income after a certain development period. It is assumed here that delivery will not take place until 2026. However, the investments do contribute to the net financial result, as they give rise to capitalized interest.

Other rental-related income and expenses

This section covers ancillary property expenses borne by the owner and recoverable charges of those expenses to tenants. For existing projects and the identified investments these costs and revenues are included in line with the lease agreement. As no rental income is included for the investments under the additional target, no other operating costs or revenues are included in relation to those investments.

This section also includes income from solar panels. In view of the volatility of energy prices, these figures are based on countryspecific energy forward curves. The income from solar panels also takes account of the estimated windfall tax. The solar panel investments included in 2025 (see section 3.2 (renewable energy in new developments)) generate income in Belgium and France on average two months after the expected delivery date.

Property management fees charged by Montea to its clients is also included in this section. Account is taken of the new leases agreed in 2025 in relation to identified investments.

Property charges

These expenses mainly include broker commissions, internal management fees and costs and charges in relation to untenanted buildings. These have been estimated for 2025 on the basis of the current portfolio (based on assumptions regarding lease extensions or renewals, see "Net Rental Income").

General expenses of the company

  • These expenses mainly comprise:
  • Rental of offices in France, the Netherlands and Germany;
  • Marketing expenses, financial and commercial communications;
  • Estimated fees for advisors, such as real estate experts, lawyers, tax experts, IT costs and the statutory auditor's fee;
  • The annual subscription tax on regulated real estate companies;
  • Fees payable for the listing on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris, as well as the FSMA fee;
  • Montea's internal operating costs, being the remuneration of the Sole Director and the personnel costs, excluding internal management fees; and
  • Annual depreciation and amortization of non-current assets other than real estate investments (furniture, movable equipment and intangible assets).

General expenses are included in forecasts based on effective estimates by cost category. Marketing and personnel expenses are provided on the basis of best approximate estimates. Montea intends to make further investments in its workforce in 2025, not least in the various country teams, in order to ensure sufficient capacity.

Interest costs

Estimated interest costs are based on the evolution of average financial indebtedness:

  • the actual outstanding financial debt of €923.1 million as at December 31, 2024, comprising €257.6 million in outstanding credit facilities, €665.0 million in outstanding bonds and €0.5 million of finance lease debt;
  • the expected changes in indebtedness in 2025: the drawdown of new and existing credit lines to finance new and ongoing investments and the refinancing of the bond loans coming to maturity, which will be repaid.

The overall average cost of financing* for 2025 is calculated in line with the average cost of debt* during 2024, taking account of a level of hedging in line with the hedging policy (see section 8.1.1 Changes in interest rates).

The total financial cost is then reduced by an estimated amount of capitalized interest calculated on all ongoing and planned developments, as well as on the additional target for 2025. This capitalized interest is thus eliminated from the calculation of

financial expenses and instead recognized in the capital cost of the project on the asset side of the balance sheet until the projects are delivered and begin to generate rental income.

Tax

This item covers the annual corporate income tax payable. Montea's taxable base is virtually zero due to the fiscal transparency enjoyed by the Company. The taxable base of the regulated real estate company is limited to what is referred to as 'disallowed expenses' other than write-downs and capital losses on shares, and any 'abnormal or gratuitous benefits' received (GVV (Belgium), SIIC (France), FBI (Netherlands)). Dividend withholding tax is estimated based on the estimated taxable base of the Montea SA fiscal entity (i.e. the French branch). Dutch corporate income tax (rate: 25.8%) is provided for based on an estimate of the taxable basis of Montea Nederland and its subsidiaries. Corporate income tax for Germany is based on a rate of 15.825%. For the other companies – direct subsidiaries of Montea that do not qualify as SIICs (France) or FBIs (Netherlands) – an estimate has been made based on estimated local results.

5.4.5 Assumptions regarding factors that Montea cannot directly affect

The trend in rental income takes account of an indexation level for 2025 based on the economic consensus expectations for 2025 of the International Monetary Fund. Montea limits the potential impact of inflation, firstly by including a rent indexation clause in rental agreements and secondly by entering into hedging agreements for the majority of its variable-rate borrowings.

Interest rates are determined on the basis of the forward interest curve (Euribor 3-month forward curve), taking account of the existing and planned hedging instruments.

Changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments are not a cash item and therefore have no impact on EPRA earnings*. No assumptions have therefore been made in relation to this item. The same reasoning applies to changes in the fair value of the real estate portfolio.

The outlook may also be affected by market, operational, financial, regulatory and (geo)political risks.

(1) Operating or operational margin* is obtained by dividing the operating result before the result on the property portfolio by the property result.

(2) EPRA Earnings* are equal to Net result excluding the impact of the result on portfolio (code XVI, code XVII and code XVIII of the income statement) and the impact of the changes on interest rate hedging instruments.

(3) If Montea is recognized during 2025 as having had FBI status for the 2024 financial year, Montea will pay an additional 80% of the resulting effect as an extraordinary dividend.

5.4.6 Forecast EPRA earnings*

Based on the above assumptions and the current outlook for 2025, Montea expects EPRA earnings* to grow by 16% to €115.5 million. EPRA earnings* per share will thus rise from €4.73 to €4.90 per share, excluding any exceptional result for 2025.

5.4.7 Forecast consolidated balance sheet

The following assumptions were made in preparing the projected consolidated balance sheet:

Montea intends to make investments of around €300 million during 2025.

Movements in equity and debt take account of the projected EPRA earnings*, a distribution rate of 80%, the offering of an optional dividend and the debt ratio at year-end 2025. The projected investments are expected to be financed wholly by debt, leading to a projected EPRA LTV* of 38.5% at year-end 2025.

5.4.8 Forecast dividend

The distribution policy is set by Montea's Board of Directors and presented to the general shareholders' meeting after the end of the financial year. Based on the forecast EPRA earnings* for 2025, Montea expects a further increase in the dividend per share, in line with the rise in EPRA earnings* per share, to a gross dividend of €3.90 per share1 , assuming a distribution rate of 80%.

5.4.9 Declaration

Montea declares that the profit forecast has been drawn up and prepared on a basis that is (i) comparable with that of the historical financial information, and (ii) in accordance with its accounting policies.

5.4.10 Report of the auditor on the 2024 outlook

For the auditor's report, please refer to section 10.4 Expert reports.

7.1 Corporate governance declaration

7.1.1 Compliance with the 2020 Code and Corporate Governance Charter

In 2024 the Company and the Sole Director complied with the recommendations of the 2020 Code and the legal provisions on corporate governance by applying them mutatis mutandis to the governance structure of the Sole Director. As the governing body of the Sole Director of the Company, the board of directors of the Sole Director takes collective decisions on Montea's values and strategy, its risk appetite and its key policies.

The structure of Montea and its Sole Director is thus transparent as regards corporate governance. Accordingly, in the Corporate Governance Charter as last amended on October 28, 2021 and in this corporate governance declaration, the term "board of directors" refers to the board of directors of the Sole Director.

The Company complies with the provisions of the 2020 Code except as follows:

• The remuneration of the non-executive directors is not partly paid in the form of shares in the Company, contrary to recommendation 7.6 of the 2020 Code. The purpose of that recommendation is to align the interests of the non-executive directors with the long-term interests of the shareholders. As an RREC, Montea strives to achieve robust earnings and a robust dividend per share, in line with the outlook of a long-term shareholder. That strategy is clearly reflected in the company's growth targets, its

portfolio and its ESG strategy, as approved by the board of directors. There is thus no immediate need to pay either the non-executive directors or the independent directors partly in shares. This position is reviewed on a regular basis.

  • The Company has not set a minimum amount of shares to be held by the members of the executive management, as recommended in recommendation 7.9 of the 2020 Code. Montea's view is that this is unnecessary, as certain members of the executive management benefit from both a share option plan and a share purchase plan (see section 7.8.2.4 of this annual report) which duly incentivizes these persons to consider the perspective of a long-term shareholder.
  • Contracts with members of the executive management do not contain clawback provisions in relation to variable remuneration granted on the basis of inaccurate financial information, contrary to recommendation 7.12 of the 2020 Code. This recommendation will be considered in any future contracts to be entered into with members of the executive management, but Montea does not wish to amend the existing contracts in relation to this specific point.
  • Contrary to recommendation 8.7 of the 2020 Code, the Company has not entered into a relationship agreement with one of its key shareholders, the De Pauw family. On the date of this report, the De Pauw family has two representatives on the board of directors and is therefore closely involved in setting Montea's policy. The Company believes there is no need to enter into such a relationship agreement at present. This position is reviewed on an annual basis.

7.2 Description of internal control and risk management systems

7.2.1 General

The board of directors is responsible for evaluating the Company's risks and for monitoring the effectiveness of internal control.

The members of the executive management of the Company are in turn responsible for establishing a risk management system and for ensuring the effectiveness of internal control.

Montea structures the Company's management of internal control and risks through:

  • defining its control environment (the overall legal, financial and operational framework);
  • the identification and classification of principal risks to which the Company is exposed, as set out in the "Risk factors" section;
  • analyzing the extent to which the Company manages those risks

Particular attention is also paid to the reliability of the reporting and financial disclosure process.

7.2.2 Control environment

Key features of the control environment include:

  • The risk culture: Montea acts with due commercial care with a view to achieving stable and recurring income. Montea takes a cautious approach in its investment policy and avoids speculative projects.
  • A clear description of the Company's purpose: Montea is a leading listed regulated real estate company in the field of logistics property. Montea's aim is to build up a diversified property portfolio that generates stable recurring income, both through its own developments and through standing investments. In doing so, Montea takes account of developments in the logistics sector in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and France.
  • A definition of the role of the various management bodies: Montea has a board of directors, an audit committee, a remuneration and nomination committee and three investment committees. In addition, an informal ESG steering committee has been set up in 2024. Montea is assisted by external advisors (EY, KPMG, Animo Law, Primexis, ABAB, Meijburg & Co and Bartsch) for accounting and tax matters. These parties provide assistance only.

This corporate governance declaration sets out the main rules that Montea has adopted in application of the corporate governance legislation and recommendations and describes how they were applied during the 2024 financial year. The applicable legislation includes not only the Companies and Associations Code, but also the RREC Law and the RREC Royal Decree.

Montea has applied the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2020 as its code of reference since January 1, 2020. Any deviations from the Code are disclosed in this corporate governance statement in accordance with article 3:6, §2 of the Companies and Associations Code, taking account the size of the business and the nature of its activities.

This corporate governance declaration forms part of the annual report in accordance with article 3:6, §2 of the Companies and Associations Code.

Montea is incorporated as a public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) and has a sole director nominated in the articles of association, Montea Management NV, which in turn is incorporated as a public limited company with a single board of directors.

Corporate governance declaration

(1) Reference is made to section 8 "Risk factors" for a description of sufficiently material and specific risks.

  • • The organization of the Company: The Company is organized into various departments in accordance with a clear organization chart. Every person in the organization knows what powers and responsibilities are assigned to him or her.
  • Measures to ensure sufficient competency: The Company ensures sufficient competence of:
    • the directors: given their experience, the directors possess the necessary skills to perform their duties, including in relation to accounting and general financial affairs, legal matters and general knowledge of the market for logistics real estate and logistics as a whole;
    • members of the executive management and staff: roles are filled by way of a recruitment process based on well-defined profiles, an evaluation policy and appropriate compensation based on achievable and measurable targets, as well as through the provision of suitable training for all positions in the Company.

7.2.3 Risk analysis and audit activities

The person in charge of the Company's risk management prepares a list of all risks which is reviewed annually in the audit committee. The risks that are sufficiently specific and material to the Company are discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of this report.

The Company's specific audit activities can be divided into the following categories:

  • Audits on legal and contractual basis: Every transaction of purchase and sale of real estate can be verified as to its origin, the parties involved, its nature and the time it was carried out, on the basis of notarized deeds or other transaction documents such as a share purchase agreement.
  • Audits on internal procedures:
    • the signing of purchase, sale and lease contracts by the permanent representative of the Sole Director;
    • approval of incoming invoices by at least two people (responsible person and the manager of the respective department);
    • approval of each outgoing payment by at least two people.

• Audits on financials matters:

• where necessary, the Company obtains the assistance of an external accounting and tax advisor;

  • systematic review of deviations of actual figures from the budget and actual figures of the previous year;
  • ad hoc sampling is carried out according to materiality.
  • Audit activities on the key financial risks, market risks and legal risks such as:
    • consulting external databases on the creditworthiness of customers;
    • proactive monitoring debt ratio, interest rate risk and liquidity risk;
    • continuous monitoring of tenant diversification rates and vacancy rates;
    • following up on the valuation of the buildings on a regular basis with the real estate experts;
    • closely monitoring, together with external advisors, evolutions in the legal and regulatory (tax) framework applicable to Montea and its subsidiaries

7.2.4 Financial information and communication

The general communication within the Company is appropriate to its size and is primarily based on general staff communications, internal work meetings and general e-mail traffic.

Communication of financial information is organized on a quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis. A retrospective schedule is prepared annually for this purpose. The internal accounting team (consisting of local employees in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, and with assistance from an external accountant auditor in Germany) provides the accounting figures. Those figures are consolidated and verified by the controlling team that reports to the CFO.

7.2.5 The monitoring and evaluation of internal control

The quality of internal control is assessed during the financial year by:

  • the audit committee;
  • the auditor as part of their semi-annual and annual audit of the financial figures;
  • the person in charge of internal audit: BDO represented by Steven Cauwenberghs.

The final responsibility for internal audit rests with effective leader Jo De Wolf.

7.3 Administrative, executive and supervisory bodies and company management

7.3.1 General

In accordance with the Companies and Associations Code and its articles of association, Montea is managed by Montea Management NV. Montea Management NV has been appointed as the statutory sole director of Montea for a period ending 30 September 2026.

In its turn, the Sole Director is represented externally by its permanent representative, Mr. Jo De Wolf.

The Sole Director is managed by a board of directors composed in such a way that Montea can be managed in accordance with the RREC Law and the RREC RD and includes at least three independent directors within the meaning of article 7:87 of the Companies and Associations Code in conjunction with recommendation 3.5 of the 2020 Code.

The structure of Montea and its Sole Director is transparent. This means that all the rules of the RREC Law and of the RREC RD apply to the Sole Director and its directors. Montea has extended corporate governance principles to the directors of the Sole Director.

Montea's corporate governance structure can be shown schematically as follows:

  • the management bodies, at two levels
    • the Sole Director, represented by its permanent representative, Mr. Jo De Wolf;
  • the board of directors of the Sole Director.
  • the executive management
  • the supervisory bodies
    • internal supervision: the effective leaders, compliance officer, person in charge of risk management and the person in charge of internal audit;
    • externally: the auditor and the FSMA.

The persons forming part of the management of the company, as well as the Sole Director, have their office address at Montea's registered office (exclusively for matters relating to Montea).

  • the audit committee;
  • the remuneration and nomination committee;
  • three investment committees (Internal, Netherlands and France).

In 2024, an ESG steering committee was established as an informal advisory body to support the preparation, monitoring and elaboration of the sustainability strategy and sustainability initiatives within the group.

After each committee meeting, the board of directors receives a report on the findings and recommendations of the committee concerned. In the intervening periods, information is provided to the directors as and when required and every director may obtain any information at any time by making a request via the chairman of the board.

Individual directors and committee members may request the board of directors at any time, via the chairman of the board, to engage outside specialist advisors (legal counsel, tax advisors etc.) at the company's expense.

Pursuant to article 4 of the Montea Corporate Governance Charter, the board of directors and its subcommittees are supported by a Secretary General. This role is fulfilled by Jörg Heirman.

7.3.2.5 Chairman of the board of directors

The chairman of the board of directors is chosen by the board members. The chairman is appointed on the basis of his or her knowledge, professional expertise, experience and ability to build consensus.

The chairman and the CEO cannot be the same person.

The chairman has the specific task of:

  • directing and ensuring the smooth operation of the board of directors. He or she ensures that sufficient time is available for reflection and discussion before any decision is made;
  • ensuring that the directors and the committees receive accurate, concise, timely and clear information for the meetings so that they can make a well-founded and informed contribution to the meetings;
  • ensuring that the directors and the committees are properly informed before the meetings, and if necessary, between meetings;
  • acting as an intermediary between the board of directors and the executive management, with appropriate respect for the executive responsibilities of the members of the executive management;
  • maintaining close relations with the CEO;
  • chairing, directing and ensuring the smooth running of meetings of shareholders;
  • regularly evaluating the size and composition of the board of directors;
  • drawing up succession plans for directors and members of the executive management;
  • assisting the remuneration and nomination committee in relation to the nomination and renomination of directors;
  • evaluating the performance of the board of directors and its subcommittees;
  • making resources available to enable directors to refine their skills and their knowledge of the Company, so that they can fulfill their role.

7.3.2.6 Professional development of directors

The professional development of directors is ensured firstly through the personal development of each director in his or her own field, and secondly by holding various in-house training activities and seminars.

In 2024, Montea held informal training sessions for the directors, led by in-house and external specialists, on topics including developments in the logistics real estate market, important macroeconomic developments, cybersecurity and digital strategy, global changes in long- and short-term interest rates and future EU Green Deal regulations.

7.3.2.7 Evaluation of directors

Directors are evaluated on various levels:

  • at least once every three years, the board of directors evaluates its own performance, its interaction with the executive management, and its size, composition and functioning, as well as that of its subcommittees. The evaluation follows a methodology approved by the board. In the performance of this exercise, the board of directors is assisted by the remuneration and nomination committee and potentially by outside experts;
  • the directors evaluate each other on an ongoing basis. Any problems or comments regarding the contribution of a director may be raised as an agenda point at meetings of the board or the remuneration and nomination committee or may be discussed with the chairman. The chairman can then take appropriate measures at his own discretion.

Each director's contribution is individually assessed once a year by the remuneration and nomination committee, so that the composition of the board can be adjusted if required. In the event of a renomination, an assessment is made of the contribution of the director concerned.

The board of directors ensures that plans are made for the succession of directors. It ensures that all nominations and renominations of both executive and non-executive directors contribute toward maintaining the balance of skills and experience on the board.

7.3.2.8 Diversity policy

In formulating its recommendations to the board of directors on director nominations, the remuneration and nomination committee takes account of the aim of ensuring diversity on the board. This concerns not only gender diversity but also other criteria such as skills, experience and knowledge. Diversity on the board of directors helps to ensure that decision-making is well balanced, whereby decisions are taken and potential problems addressed by examining them from a variety of viewpoints.

Montea's board of directors currently has two female members. Furthermore, the current members of the board come from a diverse range of backgrounds, including real estate, logistics, pharmaceuticals, the postal service, banking and telecommunications.

The board of directors also pays particular attention to these diversity principles with regard to the composition of the executive management.

Pursuant to article 7:96 of the Companies and Associations Code, Jo De Wolf is unable to participate in the deliberation and decision-making on the agenda point concerned, and these minutes are required to contain the following information: nature of the transactions, justification of the decisions made and the property consequences of the transactions for the Company. This information is recorded above as well as under the agenda point concerned.

Montea's statutory auditor shall be made aware of this conflict of interest. […]

The directors take note of the summary regarding the achievement by executive management of the KPIs for the short-term target bonus for 2023 and the proposed adjustments to the salary and target bonus for 2024.

As regards the short-term variable remuneration for executive management for the 2023 performance year, a summary was provided of the achievements relative to the set KPIs and the short-term variable remuneration that was proposed in that regard for executive management (CEO / CFO / CPM).

RESOLUTION: The board of directors unanimously resolves to approve the proposed short-term target bonuses for executive management for the 2023 financial year.

As regards the short-term targets for 2024, the board of directors takes note of the following proposal by the remuneration and nomination committee: […]

RESOLUTION: The board of directors unanimously resolves to approve the proposed KPIs for the short-term target bonus for executive management for the 2024 financial year.

The board of directors believes that these short-term target bonuses for executive management are on arm's length terms and that it is in the Company's interest to set these short-term target bonuses in advance so that a clear target exists for executive management to continue growing the Company in 2024.

Extract from the minutes of the meeting of the board of directors of October 23, 2024

The offering of share options to Jo De Wolf is in line with the share option plans that were approved in previous years. This offer is on arm's length terms and in line with general corporate governance recommendations whereby part of the incentives for members of the executive management should be granted via shares, share options or similar securities.

Pursuant to article 7:96 of the Companies and Associations Code, Jo De Wolf is unable to participate in the deliberation and decision-making on the agenda point concerned, and these minutes are required to contain the following information: nature of the transactions, justification of the decisions made and the property consequences of the transactions for the Company.

7.4.2 RREC Law

Pursuant to article 37 of the RREC Law, the FSMA must be informed if any of the persons listed in that article obtains any benefit from a transaction. The Company must demonstrate why the planned transaction is in its interest, and that the planned transaction takes place within the normal course of its business strategy. Such transactions must also be on arm's length terms and must be immediately made public. Pursuant to article 49, §2 of the RREC Law, in a transaction with the persons listed in article 37, the fair value as determined by the real estate valuer shall be the maximum price if the Company acquires property or the minimum price if the Company disposes of property. These transactions must also be outlined in the annual report.

In the course of the financial year, the Company applied article 37 of the RREC Law on two occasions, in connection with the capital increase pursuant to the optional dividend (June 2024) and in connection with the capital increase in cash within the authorized capital with irreducible allocation rights (October 2024), in respect of the following persons:

  • the Sole Director;
  • Dirk De Pauw, as director of the Sole Director;
  • Jo De Wolf, as director of the Sole Director and effective leader;
  • Peter Snoeck, as director of the Sole Director;
  • Jimmy Gysels, as effective leader;
  • Koen Van Gerven, as director of the Sole Director;
  • Elijarah BV, represented by Els Vervaecke, as member of the executive management;
  • The key shareholder: the De Pauw family.

There are no significant arrangements and/or agreements with key shareholders, customers, suppliers or other persons on the basis of which persons have been selected as members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies or as members of senior management.

On December 31, 2024, except as disclosed in this annual report, there were no potential conflicts of interest between Montea on the one hand and the members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies and the members of the executive management on the other.

There are no details of any restrictions whereby the members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies and the members of the executive management have agreed to transfer the Montea securities in their possession within a defined period.

7.5 Family relationships between the shareholders, directors and effective leaders

There are no known regulations whose entry into force at a later date could result in a change in control over Montea.

De Pauw family

  • The De Pauw family comprises: Dirk De Pauw, Marie De Pauw, Bernadette De Pauw, Dominika De Pauw and Beatrijs De Pauw (brother and four sisters) and their respective children;
    • the De Pauw indivisible ownership group;
    • Montea Management NV, which is controlled by the five aforenamed De Pauw siblings

The De Pauw family acts in concert.

Dirk De Pauw is chairman of the board of directors of the Sole Director. Peter Snoeck, the husband of Dominika De Pauw, is a non-executive director.

7.6 Information pursuant to art. 34 of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007

In accordance with article 34 of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007, Montea lists, and if necessary explains, the following elements to the extent that these elements are of a nature to have an effect in the event of a public takeover bid.

7.6.1 Capital Structure (on December 31, 2024)

The capital amounts to four hundred and seventy-one million four hundred and twelve thousand seven hundred and twenty-six Euro and nineteen Eurocent (€471,412,726.19) and is represented by twenty-three million, one hundred and thirty-one thousand, two hundred and twelve (23,131,212) shares without stated nominal value, each representing one/twenty-three million one hundred and thirty-one thousand two hundred and twelfth (1/23,131,212th) of the capital. There are no preference shares. Each of these shares confers one voting right (except for the Company's treasury shares whose voting rights are suspended) at the general meeting

of shareholders and thus represent the denominator for purposes of notifications under the Transparency Regulations. Voting rights are not restricted by law or by the articles of association.

7.6.2 Legal or statutory restriction on transfer of securities

The transfer of Montea's shares is not subject to any restrictions under the law or the articles of association.

7.6.3 Special control rights

Montea has no holders of securities to which special control rights are attached, other than certain veto rights in favor of its Sole Director (see article 24 of the articles of association).

7.6.4 Shareholder agreements known to Montea that may give rise to limit the transfer of securities and/or the exercise of voting rights

As far as Montea is aware, there are no shareholder agreements that could give rise to restrictions on the transfer of securities and/or the exercise of voting rights.

7.6.5 Mechanism for controlling any employee stock plan when control rights are not exercised directly by employees

Montea has no such employee share plan.

7.6.6 Managing body

Montea is managed by Montea Management NV, which has been statutorily appointed as Sole Director for a period ending 30 September 2026. The main consequence of Montea having a Sole Director is that under the articles of association the Sole Director has extensive powers and a veto right for certain important decisions and amendments to the articles of association.

Montea Management NV is permanently represented for the performance of the mandate of statutory Sole Director, in accordance with article 2:51 of the Companies and Associations Code, by Mr. Jo De Wolf.

The Sole Director may resign at any time to the extent possible within the framework of the commitments he has made to Montea and to the extent that such resignation does not place Montea in difficulty.

The mandate of Sole Director may only be revoked by a court decision following a claim made by the general meeting of shareholders of Montea based on well-founded reasons. When the general meeting of shareholders must decide on the matter, the Sole Director may not participate in the vote. The Sole Director keeps performing his duties until his resignation as a result of a court decision that has the force of a final judicial decision.

The Sole Director must be organized so that, within its board of directors, at least two natural persons, collegially, ensure the supervision of the person(s) entrusted with the day-to-day management in order to ensure that the actions so taken are in the best interests of Montea.

The members of the governing body of the Sole Director must be natural persons and possess the required professional reliability and required experience, as required by the RREC Law. In case of loss, on account of all members of the governing body or the body of daily management of the Sole Director, of the required professional reliability or the required experience, as required by the RREC Law, the Sole Director or statutory auditor must convene a general meeting of shareholders of Montea, with on the agenda the possible determination of the loss of those requirements and the measures to be taken. If only one or more members of the bodies entrusted with the management or daily management of the Sole Director no longer meet the above requirements, the Sole Director must replace them within one month. Once that deadline has passed, a general meeting of shareholders of Montea must be convened as described above, without prejudice to the measures that the FSMA may take in the exercise of its powers.

In particular, the mission of the Sole Director is to perform all acts useful or necessary for the realization of the object of Montea, with the exception, however, of those acts reserved by law or in accordance with the articles of association to the general meeting of shareholders of Montea.

7.6.7 Amendments to the articles of association

Regarding amendments to Montea's articles of association, attention is drawn to the rules imposed by the RREC Law and the RREC RD according to which, among other things, any draft amendment to the articles of association must first be submitted to the FSMA for approval. In addition, article 24 of Montea's articles of association and the rules of the Companies and Associations Code must be complied with.

7.6.8 Authorized capital

The Sole Director was authorized by the extraordinary general meeting of 25 January 2024 to increase the capital in one or more installments. For further details on this authorization, please refer to section 11.1.2 of this annual report and article 6.3 of Montea's articles of association.

7.6.9 Acquisition of treasury shares

7.6.9.1 Statutory authorization

The Sole Director is authorized, for a period of five years from the publication in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the extraordinary general meeting of 9 November 2020, to acquire or pledge on behalf of the Company, the treasury shares of the Company (even outside the stock exchange) with a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued shares. This at a unit price that may not be lower than 75%, and not higher than 125%, of the average of the closing price of the Montea share on the regulated market Euronext Brussels during the last 20 trading days before the date of the transaction.

The management body is expressly authorized to dispose of the Company's treasury shares to one or more certain persons other than members of the personnel of the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to compliance with the Companies and Associations Code. The management body is also expressly authorized to dispose of treasury shares of the Company to the personnel of the Company or its subsidiaries, even if the treasury shares were to be disposed of more than twelve months from their acquisition.

The authorizations referred to above are without prejudice to the ability, in accordance with applicable legal provisions, of the management body to acquire shares of the Company, pledge or dispose of them if no statutory authorization or authorization of the general meeting of shareholders is required, or is no longer required.

7.6.9.2 Purchase program

During the period from 14 November 2024 to 29 November 2024, Montea purchased 50,000 of its own shares through a buy-back program for a total purchase price of €3,251,676.84. On 31 December 2024, the Company owned 123,827 of its own shares (0.54% of the total number of outstanding shares).

As of the date of this annual report, Montea owns 120,831 treasury shares (0.52% of total shares outstanding).

7.6.9.3 Contractual terms

There are no significant agreements to which Montea is a party that would become effective, be amended or expire if control of Montea were to change as a result of a public takeover bid, with the exception of the following agreements:

  • the relevant provisions in the terms of issue of the bonds issued in 2015;
  • the change of control provisions in the credit agreements Montea has entered into with BNP Paribas Fortis, KBC Bank, Belfius Bank, ING Bank, Argenta and ABN AMRO, respectively;
  • the change of control provisions in the terms of issue of the bonds issued through a US Private Placement (2021 & 2022).

The credits entered into by the Company that contain provisions contingent on a change of control over the Company were approved and disclosed by the general meeting in accordance with article 7:151 of the Companies and Associations Code.

7.7 Statement of the board of directors of the Sole Director

The board of directors of the Sole Director of Montea declares that:

• Over the previous five years:

  • no director or member of executive management was convicted of fraud;
  • no director or member of the executive management, in the capacity of member of the administrative, management or supervisory body, was involved in bankruptcy, suspension of payments or dissolution;
  • no director or member of executive management has been indicted and/or the subject of an official public nominating sanction pronounced by any statutory or regulatory authority; and
  • no director or member of executive management has been declared by a court to be incompetent to act as a member of the administrative, management, or supervisory body of an issuer of financial instruments, to intervene in the management or administration of the affairs of an issuer, or to act in the management or conduct of the business of an issuer.
  • No employment contract has been concluded with the directors or members of executive management that provides for the payment of compensation at the end of the contract. A management agreement does exist between Montea Management NV and certain directors and members of executive management that provides for the payment of remuneration.
  • The board is not aware that the directors or members of executive management may or may not own Montea shares as of December 31, 2024, with the exception of Dirk De Pauw, Jo De Wolf, Peter Snoeck, PSN Management BV (permanently represented by Peter Snoeck), Els Vervaecke, Elijarah BV (permanently represented by Els Vervaecke), Jimmy Gysels and Koen Van Gerven.
  • No options on Montea shares have been granted to date, with the exception of options granted to some members of executive management and certain members of staff1 .

7.8 Remuneration report

This remuneration report concerns all remuneration awarded or payable to the directors and executives during the 2024 financial year. It covers the amounts payable by Montea, the companies within its scope of consolidation, and the Sole Director.

This remuneration report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of article 3:6 of the Companies and Associations Code and forms a specific part of Montea's corporate governance declaration.

In accordance with article 7:89/1 of the Companies and Associations Code and recommendation 7.3 of the 2020 Code, Montea adopted a remuneration policy on May 18, 2021. An amended version of the remuneration policy was approved by the general meeting on May 17, 2022. The remuneration report below was prepared in line with Montea's remuneration policy. To obtain a full picture of the remuneration that was awarded or payable to the directors and executives in the 2024 financial year, this remuneration report should be read in conjunction with the Montea remuneration policy. The remuneration policy can be consulted on the Company's website (see here).

Montea is committed to transparent and continuous dialogue with its shareholders and their proxy advisors on remuneration and on other governance matters. This remuneration report incorporates their feedback on the content of the remuneration reports for previous years. On May 21, 2024 the general meeting approved the remuneration report on the 2023 performance year with a clear majority of 89.67% of the votes present and represented. Furthermore, no specific comments were made to Montea which need to be taken into account with regard to remuneration for the 2024 performance year.

7.8.1 Remuneration of the Sole Director in the 2024 financial year

Montea's articles of association provide that the duties of Montea Management NV as Sole Director shall be compensated. In accordance with article 13 of Montea's articles of association, this compensation consists of two parts: a fixed part and a variable part.

The fixed part of the Sole Director's compensation is set each year by Montea's general meeting. This flat-rate fee may not be lower than €15,000 per year and is in line with article 35, §1(1) of the RREC Law.

The variable portion is equal to 0.25% of the sum of the Company's consolidated net profit, excluding fluctuations in the fair value of the assets and hedging instruments. This fee is in line with article 35, §1(2) of the RREC Law. The Sole Director is entitled to reimbursement of actually incurred costs that are directly related to its duties and for which sufficient supporting evidence is supplied.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2024, the Sole Director's compensation was €[*] excluding VAT. This amount essentially covers the total remuneration cost of the board of directors of the Sole Director, the fee for the managing director and the operating costs of Montea Management NV. The definitive award of this fee to the Sole Director will be presented for approval to the general meeting on May 20, 2025.

7.8.2 Remuneration of directors and executives in the 2024 financial year

7.8.2.1 Total remuneration in the 2024 financial year

The directors and executives were compensated in line with the remuneration policy in 2024. The directors are compensated solely via a fixed fee and attendance fees and receive no variable compensation. The executives receive both fixed compensation and (short and long-term) variable compensation.

Concerning the attendance fees for directors entitled to receive such fees under the remuneration policy: an attendance fee of €2,200 per meeting attended was awarded in 2024 for meetings of the board of directors, the audit committee and the remuneration and appointments committee and an attendance fee of €2,200 per meeting attended for meetings of the investment committees. In line with the remuneration policy, no attendance fees are paid for meetings held by teleconference or by written communication. Exceptions to this principle may be made if considerable preparation time is required for a particular teleconference, as was the case for one meeting of the board of directors held by teleconference in 2024.

The remuneration set out in the remuneration policy gave rise to the following total compensation for directors and executives for the 2024 financial year:

unless this is explicitly justified in the context of the scope of the preparation time for a specific meeting. (2) On behalf of DDP Management BV. This is the consolidated remuneration for the chairmanship of all investment committees within Montea.

(3) The ratio between Jo De Wolf's fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is in line with the spreading rule as set forth in article

7:91 of the CCA because in 2022 an LTIP (cash) was offered to the CEO (€700,000 @ target). This LTIP relates to the achievement of KPIs

measured over a 5-year period from 2022 to 2026 inclusive and, if achieved, will be paid out in full at the beginning of 2027. (4) On behalf of PSN Management BV

(5) The ratio between the fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is in line with the spreading rule as set forth in article 7:91 of the CCA because in 2022 an LTIP (cash) was offered to the CFO (€425,000 @ target), who is a member of the executive management. This LTIP relates to the achievement of KPIs measured over a 5-year period from 2022 to 2026 inclusive and, if achieved, will be paid out in full at the beginning of 2027.

7.8.2.2 Short-term variable compensation - 2024 financial year

The short-term variable compensation of the CEO and the other executives is dependent on pre-set performance criteria linked to Montea's strategic priorities over the one-year basis period. The specific content and weighting of each KPI were set at the start of the 2024 financial year by the board of directors, on the proposal of the remuneration and appointments committee.

The final decision on evaluating the achievement of the KPIs and the resulting variable compensation is taken by the board of directors, on the proposal of the remuneration and appointments committee. Under the remuneration policy, an overachievement bonus may be granted, provided that it does not exceed 25% of the total on-target short-term variable compensation.

The performance achieved in relation to each performance criterion and the associated variable remuneration are as indicated below.

(1) In accordance with the remuneration policy, the total short-term variable remuneration is capped at 125% of the target amount.

Concerning the short-term variable compensation of the other members of the executive management: the Sole Director resolved to deviate from the stipulation in the remuneration policy that an overachievement bonus in relation to the short-term variable compensation cannot exceed 25% of the target bonus. The governing body may adopt such a resolution on the basis of a reasoned proposal by the remuneration and appointments committee, if it is necessary in order to assure the long-term interests and sustainability of the company. The Sole Director decided to deviate from this stipulation on account of the

exceptional performance in 2024, more specifically with reference to the superb performance in relation to the operating margin, EPS growth and occupancy KPIs. Reference is also made to the successful completion of various capital increases in 2024 and the obtaining of a credit rating from Fitch. This exceptional performance was deemed to justify such a deviation. The contribution of the executives concerned is a crucial element in assuring the sustainable long-term growth of the business into the future.

7.8.2.3 Long-term variable compensation

In 2022, a long-term incentive plan was offered to the CEO (€700,000 on target) and CFO (€425,000 on target). This plan concerns the achievement of KPIs measured over a 5-year period from 2022 to 2026. If the targets are met, it will be paid in full in early 2027.

The KPIs under this plan (including their specific content and weighting) have been set by the Sole Director on the basis of a proposal by the remuneration and appointments committee, and are linked to pre-set performance criteria in line with

Montea's strategic priorities. Achievement of the KPIs will be definitively evaluated by the board of directors and the remuneration and appointments committee in early 2027. An overachievement bonus may be granted, provided (in accordance with the remuneration policy) that it does not exceed 50% of the total on-target long-term variable compensation.

Other than those shown below, Montea had no long-term incentive plans for the benefit of directors or executives on December 31, 2024.

7.8.2.4 Share-based compensation in the 2024 financial year

Montea again established a share purchase plan in favor of certain employees and members of the Company's management. Beneficiaries of the share purchase plan can (but are not obliged to) purchase a specified number of shares at a discounted arm's length price, subject among other things to a lock-up period of 3.5 years.

Under this share purchase plan 1,000 shares have been purchased by Els Vervaecke on 15 April 20251 . These shares were purchased at a price representing 83.33% of the average closing price of Montea shares on Euronext Brussels during the 20 trading days preceding the date of the offer.

The shareholdings of the members of Montea's management, executive and supervisory bodies are summarized below, as at December 31, 2024:

As in previous years, Montea established a share option plan in 2024 for the benefit of certain members of executive and nonexecutive management and certain employees, nominated at the discretion of the board of directors based on a proposal by the remuneration and appointments committee. Beneficiaries of the share option plan can acquire ten-year options with an exercise price equal to the lower of (a) the closing price of Montea shares

on Euronext Brussels on the last trading day prior to the date of the offer; and (b) the average closing price of Montea shares on Euronext Brussels during the 20 trading days preceding the date of the offer. The options vest after a period of three years.

The share options offered to executives are summarized below:

7.8.2.5 History of compensation and performance

The table below summarizes the annual changes in Montea's total remuneration, development and performance, the average remuneration of the employees and the ratio of the remuneration of the highest-paid member of management to that of the lowest-paid employees on a full-time equivalent basis.

The Company interprets art. 3:6, §3(5) of the Companies and Associations Code to mean that the requirement to disclose the five-year track record of remuneration relative to the Company's performance and average employee remuneration applies only from 2020 onward. The comparison below thus excludes figures prior to 2020.

7.8.2.6 Severance payments granted in the 2024 financial year

No severance payments were granted or paid in the 2024 financial year as no contract with an executive was terminated.

7.8.2.7 Clawback provisions applied in the 2024 financial year

No clawback provisions were applied in 2024.

7.8.2.8 Deviations from the remuneration policy in the 2024 financial year

In 2024, the remuneration policy for directors and executive management was applied in accordance with the remuneration policy, except for the deviation described in section [6.8.2.2].

(3) The decrease in France and Germany is caused by the expansion of the teams as a result of which the remuneration of the country director carries less weight in the average. (4) The ratio was calculated based on total cost incurred by the company. The variable remuneration is included in the year that includes the performance year (this is only equal to the short-term variable cash remuneration as described above).

(1) The remuneration of the CEO, who is also a member of the board of directors, was not included in this calculation. The remuneration of the chairman of the board of directors was included. (2) The average remuneration shown is that of all employees as defined under Belgian law, excluding persons who are also part of the executive management. The average remuneration of an employee is calculated on the basis of the figures presented in this annual report.

8.1 Risk factors related to Montea's financial situation

8.1.1 Evolution in interest rates

The short- and/or long-term interest rates on the (international) financial markets may fluctuate substantially.

Except for the financial agreements on other financial debt1 and €640 million of bonds, Montea enters into all its financial debt at a variable interest rate (bilateral credit lines at Euribor 3 months + margin). A rise in the interest rate will in principle make financing via borrowings more expensive for the Company. At December 31, 2024, the total financial debt subject to variable interest rates stood at €282.6 million.

To hedge the risk of rising interest rates, Montea follows a policy designed to hedge 80% to 100% of the interest rates on its existing (including forecasted) financial debt. At December 31, 2024, 97.8% of the borrowings taken under the credit lines and bonds were hedged via hedging instruments (swaps) or fixed-interest bonds. The hedging percentage consist of 69.5% fixed-interest financial debt and 28.3% hedged variable interest rates. As calculated at December 31, 2024, a rise of 100 basis points in short-term interest rates would lead to an increase of €0.2 million in total financial expenses.

For a more detailed presentation of the fair value of financial liabilities, please refer to section 9.2.5 (Note 39: Fair value hierarchy - financial liabilities). More information on net interest expenses can be found in section 9.2.5 (Note 15: Net interest expense). For a description of the interest costs, please refer to section 5.4.4 (subsection: Interest costs). For a more detailed description of our general financing policy and our financing structure, please refer to sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.3.

8.1.2 Liquidity risk

To finance its activities and investments, Montea relies heavily on its ability to raise financial resources. That ability may be disrupted by various (external) factors, such as disruptions to the international financial debt and equity capital markets, a reduction of banks' lending capacities, a deterioration of Montea's credit rating, a negative perception of investors with regard to property companies, etc. Any of these events could cause Montea to experience problems in obtaining access to financing under its existing or new credit facilities, or on the capital markets. This could lead, among other things, to an inability to finance acquisitions or projects and a lack of sufficient financial resources to pay interest or operating costs or to repay the outstanding principal on loans and/or bonds as and when they fall due.

The risk factors set out below are those that the Company considers to be specific and material. Non-specific risks, i.e. risks that do not only affect a business such as Montea, are not included in this summary. In addition, Montea assesses the materiality of a risk based on the probability of its occurrence and the expected magnitude of its negative impact, in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation. In accordance with paragraph 33 of the ESMA Guidelines and article 16 of the Prospectus Regulation, the most material risks in each category are mentioned first.

Risk factors

(1) Montea has finance lease debt in relation to an ongoing financial agreement of €451,721 (< 0.1% of total financial debt).

8.2.3 Legislative and fiscal framework for FBIs

For the realization of its property investments in the Netherlands, Montea submitted a request for application of the "fiscal investment institution" (fiscale beleggingsinstelling, hereinafter "FBI") tax regime (as referred to in article 28 of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969) to Montea Nederland B.V. and its subsidiaries as from 2013. In the course of 2024, the Dutch tax authorities acknowledged that the Dutch Montea entities concerned meet the FBI requirements for the 2023 financial year and that no corporate income tax was therefore payable for that period.

The fact that Montea has been granted FBI status for the period from 2015 to 2023 strengthens Montea's belief that it will also meet all the requirements to claim FBI status for 2024. As well as a positive effect on future EPRA earnings, the awarding of FBI status would also have a positive impact of €15.6 million on the portfolio result, due to the reversal of the provision for deferred tax on real estate, as calculated at 31/12/2024. Denial of FBI status would have no impact on estimated EPRA earnings.

The announced real estate measure was passed into law via the 2024 Tax Plan. As a result, with effect from 2025, FBIs will be prevented from directly investing in Dutch real estate. This implies that Montea Nederland B.V. and its subsidiaries will no longer be able to claim FBI status from 2025 onward. The Dutch Tax Authorities took accompanying measures to facilitate the restructuring of property FBIs, such as an exemption from real estate transfer tax. For more details about FBIs, please refer to section 11.5.4.

In the 2024 results, as a safeguard, Montea continues to consider the possibility that FBI status for 2024 may be refused. An additional tax provision of €1.9 million has thus been included in the EPRA earnings for 2024, i.e. for the difference between FBI tax status and regular taxation. If FBI status is granted at a later date, this additional provision will have a positive impact on future EPRA earnings. A number of specific conditions must be met. The company must be listed on a French or foreign regulated market and its corporate purpose must primarily consist in the acquisition or construction of real estate for rental purposes or the acquisition of direct or indirect interests in enterprises with a similar purpose. If Montea were to lose its SIIC status, e.g. because it ceased to

8.2.4 Legislative and fiscal framework for SIICs2

For its investments in property in France, Montea has opted for the tax regime of a "listed real estate investment company" (société d'investissements immobiliers cotée, hereinafter SIIC), in line with article 208-C of the French General Tax Code (Code général des impôts). The most significant benefit of that regime consists in exemption from French corporate income tax, subject to compliance with a distribution obligation in respect of certain forms of property income (rent, realized capital gains on property, property income from subsidiaries). This is largely similar to the RREC regime under Belgian corporate tax rules.

comply with one or more of the conditions under French law, it would be obliged to make a number of back payments of French corporate income tax at a rate of 25%. Based on the profit achieved in 2024, Montea estimates the annual financial impact in such a case at up to €0.02 per share, without taking account of portfolio growth assumptions.

Despite the fact that a SIIC is exempt from French corporate income tax, France levies a withholding tax on the undistributed profits of a French branch (so-called branch remittance tax). Montea invokes the double tax treaty between Belgium and France, so that this French withholding tax results in a tax leakage of 5% on the post-tax profit of the French branch. In 2021 Belgium and France concluded a new double tax treaty, which has not yet entered into force. Montea expects that the limitation of the French source tax will cease to apply once the new tax treaty enters into force (from 2025 at the earliest). Assuming that the French branch qualifies as a SIIC, the annual financial impact will be an additional 20% withholding tax, i.e. the difference between the "branch remittance tax" of 25% and the reduced withholding tax of 5% that is currently applied.

Liquidity risk is limited among other things by diversifying sources of funds: of the total financial debt, 27.9% consists of credit lines taken, 72.0% bonds and 0.1% other financial debt (leasing). Montea also ensures that it has a sufficient liquidity buffer at all times to meet its short-term liabilities. This buffer amounted to €204 million at the year-end.

For more details on Montea's financing policy, please refer to section 5.2.1.

8.2 Legal and regulatory risks

8.2.1 Public domain and airport zones

8.2.1.1 Concession rights and building leases

For certain sites, Montea has a building right or concession right on land in the public domain. Such arrangements notably include (i) the building leases that Montea or its subsidiaries have entered into with Brussels Airport Company (BAC) for sites located in the airport zone and (ii) the concession agreements that Montea or its subsidiaries have entered into with North Sea Port or De Vlaamse Waterweg1 .

These building and concession rights are limited in time and can also be terminated by the grantor before the contractual end date on public interest grounds.

The associated risk for Montea is twofold. Firstly, Montea is at risk of the premature loss of its building or concession right on the site, and thus the loss of its investment (i.e. its building or buildings on the site). Secondly, Montea risks being exposed to claims from the users of those buildings, on the grounds that the lease agreement necessarily ends upon the early termination of the building or concession right.

Overall, €473.6 million (17.0% of the total value) of Montea's property portfolio was subject to this risk at December 31, 2024. The consolidated rental income associated with these sites was €26.7 million (20.8% of total annual rental income) in 2024. If all the building and concession rights for this portion of the property portfolio were terminated prematurely, this rental income would cease.

However, this twofold risk is almost always limited (i) by stipulations in the lease agreement that prevent tenants from claiming compensation from Montea in the event of such termination, and/or (ii) by the fact that, in the event of such termination, the building lease or concession agreement obligates the grantor of the building or concession right to compensate

Montea in full for its losses, including claims for compensation from tenants.

To date, this risk has not materialized.

8.2.1.2 Safety and other regulations

Some Montea sites that are located on land in the public domain or in airport zones are subject to specific safety or other regulations (e.g. night flight rules). If these regulations were to be changed/tightened, this could make the properties in question harder to let or in some cases trigger certain contractual termination options for the tenants. Overall, €50.2 million (or 1.8% of the value) of Montea's property portfolio was subject to this risk at December 31, 2024. These assets generate a combined rental income of €3.7 million.

To date, the risk under these lease agreements has not materialized.

8.2.2 Legislative and tax regime for public regulated real estate companies

As a regulated real estate company (RREC), Montea enjoys a favorable tax regime. Profits (rental income and gains on disposal, less operating costs and financial expenses) are exempt from corporate income tax at the level of the RREC (but not at the level of its subsidiaries, unless they qualify as specialized real estate funds (SREFs)). Dividend distributions by an RREC are in principle subject to a withholding tax of 30%. This favorable tax regime imposes obligations and restrictions by which Montea must abide. An RREC may therefore invest no more than 20% of its consolidated net assets in "other real estate" as defined in article 2(5)(vi) to (xi) of the RREC Law. Montea did not exceed this limit at December 31, 2024.

If it were to lose recognition of its RREC status, which assumes a serious and lasting failure by Montea to abide by the provisions of the RREC Law or the RREC Royal Decree, Montea would lose the benefit of this favorable tax regime.

Moreover, loss of recognition as an RREC is generally regarded in loan agreements as a trigger for the early repayment of bank loans (Montea had €257.6 million in credit lines taken at December 31, 2024), which could cause Montea's liquidity to drop. Lastly, Montea is exposed to the risk of future changes to the legal regime for RRECs.

(1) Or with one of its legal predecessors, Waterwegen en Zeekanaal or De Scheepvaart. For more information about the related off-balance sheet commitments, please refer to section 9.2.5 (Note 43: Off-balance sheet commitments). (2) More information about SIIC status can be found in section 11.5.3.

8.3 Risks in relation to Montea's corporate structure

8.3.1 Risk in relation to the Sole Director

In its capacity as controlling shareholder of the Sole Director1 , the De Pauw Family has a significant influence because it determines – taking into account the statutory rules on corporate governance and Montea's Corporate Governance Charter – who becomes a director of the Sole Director. Moreover, Montea's general meeting may only deliberate and resolve if the Sole Director attends. The Sole Director must also give its consent to the most significant resolutions of Montea's general meeting (including the amendment to the articles of association). Given that this veto right is included in the articles of association, and given that the Sole Director is essentially irremovable, the power of Montea's general meeting to pass resolutions may be blocked so that resolutions that are necessary or useful for Montea cannot be approved by the general meeting. The risk thus arises that the voting rights attached to the shares may be wholly or partly eroded.

8.3.2 Risk in relation to a change of control

If Montea were to amend its articles of association and adopt a form other than that of a naamloze vennootschap with a sole director or if it were to appoint a sole director other than Montea Management NV, the change-of-control clause provided in the bonds2 may be triggered. This would enable any bondholder to demand, by delivering written notice to Montea's registered office with a copy to the respective agent and without further formalities, that their bonds be declared immediately due and repayable at the nominal value plus accrued interest (if any) up to the date of payment, unless such default is rectified or a waiver of the bondholders is obtained.

This may also trigger the change-of-control clause in the bilateral loans, entitling the financial institutions concerned the right to demand repayment of all outstanding amounts. At December 31, 2024, Montea had €665 million of bonds in issue and €257.6 million of credit lines taken.

8.4 Risks in relation to Montea's property portfolio

8.4.1 Construction and development risk

Montea's property portfolio will be expanded not only through the acquisition of existing buildings, but also through development projects. Such projects sometimes involve different risks to those of the traditional acquisition of existing buildings. These include the following potential risks: finding the right partners to carry out the development, delay in the development or defective performance (resulting in reduced rental income or deferral or loss of expected rental income), a rise in construction costs, organizational problems in the supply of the required raw materials or equipment and the risk that the necessary permits may not be granted or may be contested. Montea is significantly exposed to macroeconomic trends in this regard, such as a potential rise in the cost of raw materials and construction materials and disruptions in the supply chain due to armed conflicts or otherwise. Montea's management team proactively monitors these risks and ongoing projects are discussed weekly in order to monitor their timing and budget. Furthermore, Montea does its best to negotiate contracts that limit these risks to a minimum, e.g. where possible, increases in construction costs are not passed on to Montea, projects do not go ahead until a building permit has been obtained and projects in which Montea invests are let in advance to the extent possible.

In addition, for build-to-suit projects Montea sometimes enters into an agreement with a developer whereby Montea undertakes to purchase the building concerned (or the company to which the building belongs) for a predetermined price, subject to fulfillment of various conditions precedent. These conditions precedent concern, among other things, provision of the guarantee, the first rental payment, obtaining the necessary permits and the provisional delivery of the building. If the building is delivered later than planned or if one or more preconditions are not met, Montea may decide not to accept or delay acceptance of the building (or the company to which the building belongs), which may have an impact on Montea's forecast results and its future property portfolio3 .

8.4.2 Vacancy

Montea is exposed to the risks related to the departure of its tenants and the renegotiation of their leases. High vacancy levels give rise to additional costs. These include, but are not limited to, having to bear costs that are normally recharged (real estate tax, management costs, etc.), marketing costs in connection with reletting and/or the downward revision of rental prices. High vacancy levels will also lead to a fall in revenue and cash flow.

Montea follows an investment strategy with a focus on sustainable, multi-use logistics real estate, consisting in top strategic locations, multimodal sites, multifunctional buildings and maximum use of space. Montea has a professional team dedicated to seeking out new tenants and actively managing relations with its clients. In addition, vacancy is avoided and a stable rental income cash flow is assured by letting a large part of the property portfolio under long-term leases, which make it possible to spread the risk of vacant property.

At December 31, 2024, the remaining term of the rental agreements was 5.9 years (excluding solar panels). The occupancy rate at December 31, 2024 was 99.9%, i.e. the portfolio was essentially fully let.

8.4.3 Climate risk

The sustainability strategy determines how Montea will contribute to climate objectives in order to limit the effects of climate change as much as possible. Climate change also gives rise to changing risks. In building its portfolio, Montea keeps these changing needs in mind.

In Montea's view, the most significant immediate risk of climate change is extreme weather conditions. Losses from extreme weather conditions and natural disasters are, however, covered by various insurance policies, which means that the direct financial impact (in the short and medium term) is not considered material. Over the long term, a significant increase in the number of loss events (for Montea or in general) could affect insurance premiums and the insurability of the portfolio. To date, Montea has not suffered any material impact on its portfolio in relation to this risk.

8.5.1 Concentration risk

Given the size of the projects in which Montea invests, there is a risk that Montea may be overdependent on the continued existence of a single asset or a contractual relationship with a particular client. Concentration of the lessee base can affect the Group's degree of diversification, leading to a fall in income and cash flow if a lessee departs or gets into financial difficulty.

To limit these risks and spread risk, Montea is obliged under the RREC Law to maintain a certain degree of diversification in its real estate, in terms of geography, property type and category of lessee. More specifically, Montea may not perform any operation that would lead to more than 20% of its consolidated assets being invested in real estate that constitutes a single asset group, or cause this percentage, if it is already more than 20% for one or more asset groups, to further increase.

Montea has always striven for a highly diversified lessee base, spread across multiple sites. At December 31, 2024, the aforementioned concentration limit of 20% had not been reached.

The buildings rented by the largest lessee, Jacky Perrenot, represent 6.5% of total annual contracted rental income. The value of largest asset group in the portfolio represents 5.5% of the portfolio's total fair value (Waddinxveen site, leased to HBM Machines, Lekkerland, Isero and Dille & Kamille).

Income from the solar panels accounts for 4.9% of total revenue.

(1) For more information about the structure of the Sole Director, please refer to section 7.1.

(2) More information about the financial liabilities in relation to the bonds can be found in section 9.2.5 (Note 39: Fair value hierarchy, subsection 4: Financial liabilities). (3) More information about Montea's forecast results and future property portfolio of Montea can be found in section 5.1.

8.5.2 Negative evolution in fair value of buildings

The fair value of Montea's property investments is subject to change and is dependent on various factors, some of which are external and thus outside Montea's control (such as falling demand or occupancy rates in the markets in which Montea is active, changes in the expected returns on investment or increases in transaction costs in respect of the acquisition or transfer of property).

Property valuation may also be affected by a number of qualitative factors, including but not limited to the technical condition of the property, additional building sustainability obligations, the commercial positioning, and capital expenditure requirements for fitting, installation and layout.

The fair value of property investments is determined by independent experts each quarter.

A substantial fall in the fair value of its property might potentially give rise to substantial losses, which might potentially have an adverse impact on Montea's results and financial position, namely a negative influence on net result and NAV, a fall in the fair value of the property investments leading to a rise in the debt ratio, and, in the event that the cumulative negative movements in fair value are greater than the distributable reserves, the partial or total inability to pay a dividend.

Montea has an investment strategy that focuses on quality assets offering stable incomes. It ensures that its assets are adequately monitored and follows a cautious leverage policy. Montea monitors its debt ratio and movements in the fair value of its property investments on a regular basis. Please refer to section 9.2.5 (Note 20: Property Investments) for a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of the property investments.

9.2 Notes

9.2.1 Statement of compliance

The company's financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU, as issued by the 'International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)' and as interpreted by the 'International Financial Interpretations Committee of the IASB'. Investment properties (including projects in course) and financial instruments are recognized at fair value. The other items in the consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. Where it is indicated that figures are in thousands of euros, small rounding differences may occur.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis and on the basis that the company will remain a going concern over a foreseeable time horizon.

9.2.2 Accounting policies

9.2.2.1 Consolidation principles

Subsidiaries1

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the company.

A company has control over another company when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with that company and has the ability to affect those returns through its power.

Pursuant to IFRS 10, control only exists if all three of the following conditions are met by the parent company:

  • "power" over the subsidiaries;
  • exposure, or rights, to net income / net outgoings arising

from its influence over the subsidiaries; i.e. the "investor" is exposed – or entitled – to the variable (net) returns (both positive and negative) from its involvement with the "investee" (subsidiary).

• the ability to use its power over its subsidiaries to affect the net income / net outgoings, i.e. the "investor" must actually be able to exercise its rights so as to realize the (net) returns.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the company obtains control until the date on which control ceases. Where necessary, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are adjusted to ensure consistency with accounting policies of the group.

With the exception of subsidiaries that were taken over during the financial year, the financial statements of the subsidiaries cover the same accounting period as that of the consolidating company. Minority interests are interests in subsidiaries that are not held by the Group, either directly or indirectly.

Intercompany transactions

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized profits arising within the group, are eliminated in proportion to the group's interest in the company. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized profits, but only to the extent that there is no indication of impairment.

9.2.2.2 Investment properties

Investment properties comprise all buildings and land that can be leased out and wholly or partly generate rental income, including buildings where a limited portion is held for own use. Pursuant to IAS 40, investment properties are valued at fair value. Two independent external experts, Jones Lang LaSalle BV, 23 Marnixlaan, 1000 Brussels represented by Greet Hex and Stadim BV, 180 Mechelsesteenweg, 2018 Antwerp represented by Diederik Sondervan, prepare a valuation of the property portfolio on a quarterly basis.

Fair value (as defined in IFRS 13) is the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a normal transaction between market parties at the valuation date. The fair value should also reflect current leases, current cash flows and reasonable assumptions regarding expected rental income and expenses.

After a building has been acquired, any gain or loss that results from a change in its fair value is recognized in the income statement. The valuation is carried out in accordance with the income capitalization method as issued by the International Valuation Standards Council.

The sale of an investment property is usually subject to the payment of registration fees or a value-added tax to the public authorities. The Belgian Association of Asset Managers (BEAMA) published a communication on the scope of such registration fees on February 8, 2006. An analysis of a large number of Belgian transactions led to the conclusion that the impact of acquisition costs on major Belgian investment properties with a value of more than €2,500,000 is limited to 2.5%. This is because a range of property transfer methods are used in Belgium. This percentage will be reviewed annually as and where necessary and adjusted per 0.5% tranche. Properties below the €2,500,000 threshold and foreign properties are subject to the normal registration tax and their fair value therefore corresponds to the value exclusive of registration, notary and VAT costs. Registration fees for properties in France are generally 1.8% when the building is less than 5 years old and between 6.9% and 7.5% in all other cases, depending on the département. For the Netherlands, theoretical local registration fees averaging 10.4% are deducted from the investment value. In Germany, the fees depend on the exact location and market value of the building.

In Belgium, the investment value is the fair value plus 2.5% acquisition costs (for investment property exceeding a value of €2,500,000). The fair value can thus be calculated by dividing the freehold value by 1.025.

Since 2018, transaction costs (equal to the difference between the fair value of the property and the investment value) have been recognized in profit or loss (portfolio result) upon acquisition. They are then posted to the "Reserve for Net Movements in Fair Value of Property" within shareholders' equity.

Realized gains/losses on sales are recognized in profit or loss under the "Result on disposal of investment properties." The realized gain or loss is the difference between the sale price and the fair value at the most recent valuation.

9.2.2.3 Concessions

Concessions paid are treated as operating leases under IFRS 16.

9.2.2.4 Project developments

Real estate that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is recognized under "investment property" and measured at fair value.

All direct development-related costs are capitalized. Directly attributable interest expenses are also capitalized, in accordance with IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs.

9.2.2.5 Other non-current tangible assets

All non-current tangible assets that do not meet the definition of an investment property or development project are included in this item. Other non-current tangible assets are initially recognized at cost and subsequently valued in accordance with the cost model. Additional costs are capitalized only if they result in an increase to the future economic benefits the Company obtains from the tangible fixed assets. Other tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the linear depreciation method. The following annual percentages apply:

  • plant, machinery and equipment: 20%-25%
  • furniture and vehicles: 20%
  • IT equipment: 33%
  • property for own use: 2%

Solar panels are measured using the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment. After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method.

The useful life of solar panels is estimated at 20 years.

The solar panels are valued on a quarterly basis.

Application of the discounted cash flow method gives rise to a gain when solar panels at a new site are taken into commission, as the resulting market value is higher than the panels' original cost. This gain is recognized in a separate component of shareholders' equity. Losses are also recognized in this reserve, unless the losses are realized or the fair value falls below the original cost. In the latter cases, they are recognized in profit or loss.

The capital comprises the net funds received upon incorporation, merger or capital increase, less direct external costs (such as registration fees, legal, notarial and publication costs, etc.).

When the company repurchases its own shares, the amount paid, including directly attributable costs, is deducted from shareholders' equity (non-distributable reserves). Dividends form part of carried-forward earnings until the distribution is approved by general meeting of shareholders.

Since 2018, transaction costs (equal to the difference between the fair value of the property and the investment value) have been recognized in profit or loss (portfolio result) upon acquisition. They are then posted to the "Reserve for Net Movements in Fair Value of Property" within shareholders' equity.

9.2.2.9 Provisions

A provision is recognized if the company has a legal or contractual obligation as a result of a past event, where an outflow of cash will probably be required to meet the obligation and this outflow can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the market interest rate.

9.2.2.10 Debts

Trade payables and other debts are measured at their nominal value on the balance sheet date. Interest-bearing debts are initially recognized at face value net of directly attributable costs. The difference between the carrying amount and the amount repayable is subsequently recognized in profit or loss over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

9.2.2.11 Revenue

Revenues include gross rental income and income from services, development and property management. They are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenues are only recognized when it is sufficiently certain that the economic benefits will flow to the company. Costs of rent-free periods and incentives granted to tenants are recognized as a deduction from rental income over the term of the lease, being the period between the inception and the first break option (on a straight-line basis). Break fees for the early termination of leases are taken immediately to profit or loss.

Revenues relating to the solar panels (green energy certificates and electricity generated) are recognized at the time of receipt, in accordance with IFRS 15. The principles of IAS 20 are also applied. Green energy certificates are generally sold before the end of the financial year. These certificates are paid for by the government and not by the energy suppliers.

9.2.2.12 Costs

Costs are measured at the fair value of the consideration paid or due.

Building works

With regard to works carried out in the buildings, a distinction is made between:

  • maintenance and repair works: these are costs that do not increase the expected future economic benefits from the building. As such, they are charged in full to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred;
  • extensive renovation works: these are costs arising from occasional works to the building which do significantly increase the expected economic benefits from the building. Costs directly attributable to these works, such as materials, contracting work, architects' fees and other consultancy fees, etc. are capitalized;
  • lease incentives: these are concessions made by the landlord to the tenant to persuade the latter to rent existing or additional premises. These costs are spread over the period from the start of the lease to the first break date and are deducted from rental income.

Commissions paid to real estate brokers

Commissions relating to the letting of buildings are taken to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Commissions relating to the acquisition of buildings, registration fees, and

other additional costs are considered to be part of the cost of the building and are therefore capitalized. Commissions paid when buildings are sold are deducted from the sale price received when determining the gain or loss on sale.

General expenses

General expenses are costs related to the management and general operation of the RREC. They include general administration costs, personnel costs for general management and the depreciation of assets used for general management.

9.2.2.13 Financial result

The financial result comprises the interest expenses on loans, additional financing expenses and income from investments, together with positive and negative changes in the fair value of hedging instruments. Interest income and expenses are recognized in profit or loss on a pro rata basis.

9.2.2.14 Tax

The tax on the profit for the financial year comprises the current tax expense. Tax on profits is recognized in the income statement, except for items recognized directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the liability method for all temporary differences between the tax base and the carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, for both assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if they are likely to be offset in the future against taxable profits.

The exit tax is the tax on capital gains and on tax-free reserves arising on a merger, split, contribution in kind or transfer of a regulated real estate investment company with a company that is not a regulated real estate company1 .

When the latter is first included in the group's scope of consolidation, a provision for exit tax is recognized together with a gain at the time of acquisition. The exit tax is in theory borne by the party contributing a property or company, but Montea has to recognize it due to the fact that the tax is only assessed after a certain time. This tax is deducted from the value of the property or company contributed.

Any subsequent adjustment to this exit tax liability is taken to profit or loss. The amount of the exit tax may still vary after the transfer or merger from which this variation may arise.

9.2.2.15 Derivative financial instruments

Montea concludes loans with financial institutions at variable interest rates. The Company uses financial hedging instruments (interest rate swaps and caps) to hedge the risk of a rise in these variable interest rates. To a large extent, the variable interest rates attached to the loans are therefore swapped into a fixed interest rate. Pursuant to its financial policy and the applicable regulations, Montea does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

The hedging instruments, however, do not meet the qualifying conditions for hedging relationships as referred to in IFRS 9. All movements in the fair value of the instruments are therefore recognized in full in profit or loss. The fair value is determined using the mark-to-market value at the reporting date.

Given the clarification on the accounting treatment of the unwinding of swaps, and to achieve better alignment with EPRA guidance, the unwinding of swaps is recognized in profit or loss under "Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities."

9.2.2.16 Off-balance sheet rights and obligations

These rights and obligations are measured at nominal value based on the amount stipulated in the contract. If no nominal value is available or valuation is not possible, the rights and obligations are stated pro memoria.

9.2.3 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires good management that enables the making of judgments, estimates and assumptions applicable to the policies and regulations and to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical events and various factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from such estimates. Estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Reviews and new accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, both in cases where the estimate affects the audited financial period and when it affects the future. As at December 31, 2024, with the exception of estimates concerning the determination of the fair value of investment properties, solar

(1) The exit tax is the tax on the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount and the tax-free reserves. It is charged at 15% on mergers taking place in or after 2020.

For mergers that took place in 2019, the exit tax was 12.5% + 2% crisis contribution.

panels and derivatives, there are no significant assumptions concerning the future or other key sources of estimation uncertainty that give rise to a significant risk of a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial period. In this regard, we refer to note 20.

9.2.4 New standards and interpretations

New or amended standards and interpretations that have been published but are not yet effective for the financial year commencing January 1, 2024

Unless otherwise stated, Montea has not made use of these standards or interpretations. These standards amended by the IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRIC have no significant impact on the company's presentation, notes or results.

The nature and impact of the following new and amended standards and interpretations are explained below:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (2020 and 2022 amendments) effective January 1, 2024
  • Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, effective January 1, 2024 • Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, effective January 1, 2024

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (2020 and 2022 amendments)

The amendments clarify the criteria for determining whether a liability should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

  • Right to defer settlement the amendments clarify that if an entity's right to defer settlement of a liability depends on compliance with future covenants, the entity is entitled to defer settlement of the liability even if it is not in compliance with the covenants at the end of the reporting period.
  • Expected deferral the amendments clarify that the classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability until twelve months or more after the reporting period.
  • Settlement with equity instruments the amendments clarify that one exception is made to the stipulation that
settlement of a liability with equity instruments affects the
liability's classification.
• Disclosures – the amendments require additional
disclosures to be made by an entity that classifies liabilities
arising from debt agreements as non-current when the
entity has the right to defer settlement of those liabilities,
but this is dependent on complying with covenants within the
next twelve months.
The amendments were applied retrospectively in accordance
with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors. As Montea's current practice is in line
with the amendments, these amendments had no impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7
Financial Instruments: Disclosures
The amendments require an entity to provide information on the
impact of supplier finance arrangements on liabilities and cash
flows, including:
• Terms and conditions
• At the start and end of the reporting period:
• The carrying amount, and associated line items in
the balance sheet, of financial liabilities that relate to
supplier finance arrangements

The carrying amount of financial liabilities, and the
associated line items, for which the finance provider
has already settled the associated liability to the
supplier

A summary of the payment due dates for the financial
liabilities to the finance provider and for comparable
trade payables that are not part of such arrangements
• The type and impact of non-cash movements on the carrying
amount of financial liabilities relating to supplier finance
arrangements that impair the comparability of the carrying
amounts of financial liabilities.
The amendments require an entity to disclose information about
supplier finance arrangements in aggregate. However, the entity
must disclose separate information about unusual or unique
terms and conditions if the individual arrangements are dissimilar.
The amendments also require separate explanatory information
about the payment due dates if the dates vary widely.
This standard does not apply to Montea.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, effective January 1, 2024

The amendments specify how a seller/lessee must measure a lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction in such a way that it does not recognize any gain or loss in relation to the retained right of use. The amendment does not prescribe any specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities arising from a leaseback. The initial recognition of a lease liability arising from a leaseback may result a seller/lessee determining lease payments that are different from the general definition of lease payments in Appendix A to IFRS 16. The seller/lessee must adopt an accounting policy that provides relevant and reliable information in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

As Montea's current practice is in line with the amendments, these amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

New or amended standards and interpretations that have been published but are not yet effective for the financial year commencing January 1, 2024

A number of new standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations are not yet mandatory in 2024, but may be adopted early. Unless otherwise stated, Montea has not made use of these standards or interpretations. These standards amended by the IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRIC will have no material impact on the company's presentation, notes or results:

  • Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability, effective January 1, 20251
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 (Classification and measurement requirements) and IFRS 71 (Disclosures) effective January 1, 20261
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity, effective January 1, 20261
  • Annual Improvements Volume 111
  • IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, effective January 1, 20271
  • IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, effective January 1, 20272

Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability, effective January 1, 2025

The amendments specify how an entity must assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a precise exchange rate if exchangeability is limited. The amendments also require information to be disclosed that enables users of the financial statements to estimate the impact of a non-exchangeable currency.

The amendments apply to periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025 and may be adopted early, provided that disclosure is made. However, an entity may not restate comparative information.

The amendments apply to periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025 and may be adopted early, provided that disclosure is made. This standard does not apply to Montea.

Amendments to IFRS 9 (Classification and measurement requirements) and IFRS 7 (Disclosures) effective January 1, 20261

The amendments published by the IASB to IFRS 9 (Classification and measurement requirements) and IFRS 7 (Disclosures) include:

  • The amendments clarify that a financial liability is no longer recognized on the 'settlement date' and introduce an accounting policy option whereby financial liabilities that are settled with the aid of an electronic payment system can be derecognized before the settlement date.
  • The classification of financial assets with ESG-linked features is clarified via additional guidelines for the assessment of contingent features.
  • Clarifications have been made in relation to "non-recourse" loans and contractually linked instruments.
  • Additional disclosures have been introduced for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments classified at fair value through OCI.

The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, and an entity can elect to early-adopt the amendments relating to contingent features only. As Montea's current practice is in line with the amendments, no impact is expected on the consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity, effective January 1, 20261

The amendments published by the IASB to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity include:

  • Clarification of the application of the 'own use' requirements • Granting permission to use hedge accounting if these
  • contracts are used as hedging instruments
  • Addition of new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the impacts of these contracts on financial performance and cash flows

The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, but is limited to periods beginning after the publication of the amendments and must be disclosed. The clarification with regard to the 'own use' requirements must be applied retrospectively, but the guidelines that permit hedge accounting are to be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships arising on or after the date of first application.

As Montea's current practice is in line with the amendments, no impact is expected on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, effective January 1, 20271

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 and responds to demand from investors for better information about the financial performance of businesses.

The new requirements include:

  • Mandatory totals, subtotals and new categories in the income statement
  • Disclosure of management-defined performance measures or 'MPMs'
  • Guidelines for aggregation and disaggregation

Some requirements formerly included in IAS 1 have been moved to IAS 8 and limited amendments have been made to IAS 7 and IAS 34.

IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial statements. Montea is currently examining the impact of these amendments on current practices.

IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures,
effective January 1, 20272
Subsidiaries of a parent that have no public accountability but
which prepare consolidated financial statements for public use are
eligible to apply IFRS 19.
IFRS 19 enables qualifying entities to provide reduced disclosures
in comparison with the requirements of other IFRS standards.
Entities that elect to apply IFRS 19 are still obliged to apply the
recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of other
IFRS standards.
IFRS 19 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1,
2027, with early adoption permitted. Montea does not intend to
make use of IFRS 19.

(1) Not yet approved by the EU as of December 23, 2024

(2) The date of EU approval is not yet known – it is uncertain that the EU will approve IFRS 19.

9.2.5 Notes to the consolidated balance sheet and income statement

Note 1: Rental income

Montea lets its investment properties under rental agreements. Rental income is the gross rental income generated by these agreements.

The table below summarizes rental income for the full year:

Rental income increased to €115.1 million in 2024, an increase of 7.6% (€8.1 million) compared to 2023. This €8.1 million increase in rental income is mainly driven by:

  • Volume effects: acquisition or completion of new sites (€10.2 million), partly offset by loss of income due to redevelopment (-€4.4 million) at the sites at Tiel (NL), Born (NL) and Avignon (FR)
  • Indexation of rental agreements and other adjustments (€3.3 million)
  • New leases or contract renegotiations (€0.3 million) for the sites at Alfortville (FR), Mesnil-Amelot (FR), Camphin-en-Carembault (FR), Puurs (BE) and Grimbergen (BE).
  • Volume and price effects related to solar panels (-€1.3 million)

Below is a summary of rental income by country:

(1) Not yet approved by the EU as of December 23, 2024

(2) The date of EU approval is not yet known – it is uncertain that the EU will approve IFRS 19.

TOTAL 84,480 86,791 79,597

If we only consider properties that were part of the property portfolio for the whole of the last three years (i.e. disregarding new acquisitions and divestments - a total of 78 sites), rental income is as follows:

The 4.1% increase in rental income for Belgium relative to 2023 mainly results from the annual indexation increases and the renegotiation of the leases at the Puurs and Grimbergen sites. In the Netherlands, rental income fell by 12.1% in 2024 relative to 2023 as a result of the redevelopment of the sites at Tiel and Born in 2024.

Rental income in France fell by 0.7% in 2024 relative to 2023, the annual indexation increase being fully offset by the temporary vacancy of the Saint-Priest and Le Mesnil Amelot sites during the year.

In Germany, the 4.0% rise results mainly from the annual indexation increase.

Note 2: Rental-related expenses

Montea applies IFRS 16, which stipulates that lease liabilities (such as rental and concession agreements) should be disclosed on the lessee's balance sheet by recognizing a right of use as an investment property and an accompanying lease liability as a non-current debt. For Montea as property owner and lessor, there are no changes affecting the valuation of the property portfolio. Montea will continue to measure its property portfolio at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. For the concession agreements Montea, as lessee, recognizes the right of use as investment property and the corresponding lease liability as non-current debt in the balance sheet. The regular concession fees are consequently

accounted for in the financial result rather than in net rental
income.
Montea also applies IFRS 9. When Montea obtains external legal
advice to collect rent and/or other monies, an impairment is
recognized if collection is uncertain. When the funds are received,
the impairment is reversed. The method of determining the
impairment has not been changed.

Note 3: Rental charges and taxes normally borne by the tenant on let properties and recovery of these charges and taxes

The decrease in net charges to €1,165K is due to a decrease in the property tax on the Vorst site during the construction phase and a reduction in fire insurance premiums.

TOTAL -1,165 -1,554 -1,080

Note 4: Other rental-related income and expenses

The property management fee represents the contractually agreed management fee, which for most contracts is a percentage of the annual rent payable.

Solar panel income comprises, first, the recharging of generated electricity to tenants and the grid operator and, second, income from the green energy certificates. The decrease in solar panel income is due to the one-off effect of €1.3 million in 2023 that resulted from the release of provisions set up in 2022. The provisions were made following the announcement in Flanders of a reduction to green energy certificates, which did not go ahead. The sharp decline in electricity prices also played a role.

The decrease is partly compensated by higher income due to the increased solar panel capacity.

The revenue is recognized when this income is received, in accordance with IFRS 15. Green energy certificates are generally sold before the end of the financial year. These certificates are paid for by the government and not by the energy suppliers. The "Other" item mainly includes the re-invoicing of additional work to clients. It also includes other income, such as insurance payouts following losses covered by our insurance policy.

Note 5: Technical costs

Technical costs in 2024 are mainly minor repair and maintenance works on the property portfolio.

NOTES

Commercial costs include brokerage commissions payable after the signing of new leases, which were low in 2024 due to the lack of vacant space in the portfolio. Lawyers' fees and legal costs are also included.

Note 7: Unlet property costs

Unlet property costs rose by €90K, mainly due to the partial vacancy at Mesnil-Amelot (FR) in 2024.

Note 8: Property management costs

Property management costs include costs relating to the internal team responsible for real estate management and marketing, where this year the focus has been on expanding the team in France and Germany in order to achieve the ambitions we have set. These costs also include costs directly attributable to management.

Note 9: Other property charges

"Other property costs" in 2024 mainly comprise maintenance costs in relation to the solar panels; the increase in capacity has had an effect.

Note 10: General expenses of the Company

General costs mainly include costs associated with day-to-day management and costs incurred in connection with the obligations for listed companies.

In total, general costs of €18,334K were incurred.

Of this,

  • €3,918K (21.5%) was capitalized, in relation to existing sites and ongoing new projects. These are project management costs;
  • €3,159K (17%) was transferred to property charges (included in property management costs, see Note 8). These costs comprise costs relating to the internal team responsible for real estate management and marketing on the one hand and costs directly attributable to management.

Thus 61.5% of these costs (€11,257K) remain as general expenses of the company.

The auditor's fee in connection with the statutory engagement for the audit and review of the parent-company and consolidated accounts was €75,660.00 (excluding VAT). The auditor is EY Bedrijfsrevisoren, represented by Mr. Christophe Boschmans (acting in the name of a BV). In addition to the foregoing, the following additional audit assignments were performed by the statutory auditor:

  • Audit of subsidiaries: €39,680.00;
  • Statutory and FSMA engagements: €42,140.00
  • Other: €105,480.00.

Note 14: Financial income

Net interest costs fell by €4,876K or 26.0%.

Nominal interest charges on loans fell by €3,026K compared to 2023, mainly because a higher amount of interest was capitalized in relation to spending on project developments.

The cost of hedging instruments fell by €403K relative to 2023, mainly due to the decrease in financial liabilities for which interest rate swaps are taken out.

The average cost of financing debt* was 2.3% in 2024 (stable compared to 2.3% in the same period last year). The impact of the hedging instruments on the average financing cost* was -0.5%.

This means that the average financing cost without the hedging instruments would have been 2.8%.

Note 11: Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income primarily includes:

  • insurance payouts received;
  • one-off income items.

Other operating expenses mainly relate to:

  • costs of registrations and legal formalities;
  • corporate social security contributions;
  • costs incurred for projects that did not go ahead.

Note 12: Result on disposal of investment properties

No divestments were made in 2024. The limited realized gain of €19K in 2022 was the result of an expropriation in Vilvoorde (BE).

Note 13: Changes in fair value of investment properties

The net change in the property portfolio, i.e. the net sum of all positive and negative movements, was €85,400K on December 31, 2024.

Financial income amounts to €1,267K and consists mainly of

Note 15: Net interest costs

Positive changes in the fair value of investment properties are largely due to the decrease in investment yields for projects with long-term leases as well as rising market rental values. Negative changes in the fair value of investment properties are generally the result of downward revaluations recognized as a result of leases approaching expiry or being discontinued, the recognition in profit or loss of the initial transaction costs on the acquisition or development of new properties (see section 9.2.2.2 Investment properties) and the recognition in profit of loss of remaining rent-free periods.

Specifically in 2024, the change in fair value of investment properties (€85.4 million) was driven by unrealized capital gains on project developments and an increase in the valuation of the existing portfolio, primarily driven by an increase in market rents of approximately 4%, which was partially offset by the yield moving out by 5 bps.

When Montea invests in a property (alteration works), these investments are capitalized as assets on the balance sheet. If the property expert does not value these additional works or values them at below cost, Montea records a negative change in the valuation of the property.

Montea's position in relation to hedging instruments is +€23.8 million.

The interest rate swaps, totaling €262.5 million, expire as follows:

  • 2026: €25.0 million
  • 2027: €87.5 million
  • 2028: €95.0 million
  • 2029: €10.0 million
  • 2030: €35.0 million
  • 2031: €10.0 million

In 2024, Montea recorded a positive change of €100K in the valuation of the hedging instruments as a result of the adjustments required under IFRS 13 (this concerns the credit value adjustment). Montea's net position in relation to hedging instruments consequently amounts to €23,751K.

Negative fair value adjustments to the notional amount of hedging instruments are reported in the balance sheet within other noncurrent financial liabilities. Positive fair value adjustments to the notional amount are reported within other non-current financial assets – hedging instruments.

Montea had entered into hedging instruments with a notional amount of €557,500K at the end of 2024.

The undiscounted net cash flows of the current interest rate swaps are shown in the table below:

Note 18: Corporate income tax

The total corporate income tax charge consists of a provision for:

  • tax payable by Montea NV on disallowed expenses;
  • corporate income tax payable by Belgian companies that do not benefit from RREC status;
  • exit tax adjustments;
  • dividend tax payable by Montea SA;
  • corporate income tax payable by Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries;
  • deferred tax, mainly in Montea Nederland N.V.

In 2023, Montea was recognized as an FBI for the period 2015 to 2022. As a result, the provisions set up in 2021 and 2022 were released during that period, resulting in an exceptional positive impact of €6.9 million. In Q3 2024, Montea also received recognition as an FBI for the 2023 financial year, enabling the

reversal of the €3.7 million provision that had been set up in case of a possible refusal. Based on the same prudent approach, a tax provision was recognized through profit or loss in 2024. This provision amounted to €2.3 million, reflecting the tax liability under the general tax regime.

In addition, the deferred tax provision on the Dutch portfolio result, which is recognized for reasons of prudence (potential denial of FBI status), had a negative impact of €10.4 million on the real estate portfolio result at December 31, 2024. During 2024, the deferred tax of €5.2 million recognized on the property result in 2023 was reversed, and a deferred tax provision of €15.6 million was set up in relation to 2024. Unlike in 2023, recognition as an FBI for the period from 2015 to 2022 led to a reversal of €32.0 million in deferred tax provisions on property.

The property portfolio is measured at fair value. The fair value measurement is based on unobservable inputs and the investment properties thus fall under level 3 of the IFRS fair value hierarchy. See Note 39 for more information. The positive change in the valuation of investment properties is mainly driven by unrealized capital gains on project developments and an increase in the valuation of the existing portfolio, primarily driven by an increase in market rents, which was partially offset by the yield moving out.

Valuation methodology

The valuation of a site consists of determining its value on a given date, i.e. determining the price at which the site may be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length

transaction after proper marketing, wherein the parties has each
acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion. This
value is the investment value, or the price to be paid plus any
transfer taxes (registration fees or VAT). The fair value, in the
sense of IAS/IFRS, can be obtained by subtracting the theoretical
local registration fees from the investment value.
Sensitivity of valuations
The sensitivity of the fair value of properties classified in Level
3 of the IFRS fair value hierarchy to changes in the significant
unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value is as
follows:
NON-OBSERVABLE INPUTS Calculated in Impact on fair value
Increase Decrease
Estimated rental value €/m² + -
Discount rate % - +
Required yield - +
Remaining lease term years + -
Occupancy rate + -
Inflation + -

In addition, a long (short) remaining lease term often gives rise to a decrease (increase) in the discount rate.

Portfolio fair value sensitivity can be estimated as follows:

• a 1% increase (decrease) in rental income would cause the fair value of the portfolio to increase (decrease) by around €24.1 million;

• a 0.25% decrease (increase) in the required yield would cause the fair value of the portfolio to increase (decrease) by around €118.0 million.

Note 21: Other tangible fixed assets

The movement in other tangible fixed assets mainly comprises a €15.8 million write-down on solar panels due to declining feed-in prices. The solar panel write-down was mostly recognized directly in equity (see also Note 30). In addition, the number of available solar panels has increased via new installations at various sites in Belgium, the Netherlands and France.

Solar panels are measured using the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment. After initial recognition, an asset whose fair value can be measured

reliably is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. If the solar panels were valued at cost, this would amount to €57,089K. The solar panels have been valued by an independent real estate expert since 2018.

The fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method.

No general write-downs were recognized on the total amount of €29,363K, as an individual case-by-case analysis was performed which showed that no recovery risk exists in relation to receivables more than 90 days past due. Despite this requirement, Montea is convinced, based on historical data, that there is no recoverability risk at the time a receivable reaches 90 days past due.

Montea efficiently manages its client base in order to minimize the impact of overdue receivables on earnings. Montea conducts a credit analysis of its clients on a regular basis. Similarly, Montea subjects potential clients to a preliminary credit analysis before entering into new contracts. The table provides a summary of doubtful receivables:

Note 30.1: Reserve for net changes in the fair value of property

Note 32: Minority interests

The minority interests come about through an establishment or changes to a cooperation arrangement with property companies. During 2024, the share in Corhoe NV was sold and this company was merged. As a result, there are no remaining minority interests.

Note 30.2: Reserve for net changes in the fair value of authorized hedging instruments not subject to hedge accounting as defined in IFRS

The change in the fair value of the hedging instruments, -€14.0 million in 2024, is recognized in full in profit or loss.

Note 31: Result

For more information about the result, please refer to section 9.1.6 "Statement of changes in consolidated equity and reserves as at December 31, 2024."

The table below shows net result per share and EPRA earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares and based on the number of shares entitled to dividends at Montea's year-end. EPRA earnings* are equal to the net result excluding the portfolio result1 * (lines XVI to XIX of the consolidated income

statement) and excluding the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (line XXIII of the consolidated income statement).

The difference between the number of shares entitled to share in Montea's result and the number of shares in issue at the end of the period is equal to the number of treasury shares. Montea has no subscription rights and/or convertible bonds in issue.

Montea also has a total amount of €665.0 million in bonds, including €235.0 million in unsecured green notes which Montea contracted in 2021 (US private placement) and €380.0 million in unsecured green notes contracted in 2022 (US private placement).

Montea also has lease debt totaling €61.5 million, divided into non-current and current portions, of which €61.0 million relates to the recognition of lease liabilities in relation to the concession sites (in accordance with IFRS 16) and the financing for the solar panels at the Aalst site.

Note 39: Fair value hierarchy

Level 1: fair value measurements are determined according to (unadjusted) quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: fair value measurements are determined based on inputs other than quoted prices referred to in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

Level 3: fair value measurements are determined using valuation techniques that contain inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (non-observable inputs).

During the 2024 financial year, no transfers were made between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy.

IFRS 13 deals with the practical application of fair value measurement when required or permitted by another standard. It has also been applied with regard to the valuation of the investment property, solar panels and financial instruments.

1. Investment properties

In practice, the fair value measurement of investment properties was carried out by the external property experts, largely based on the capitalization method.

In practice, the fair value measurement of investment properties, based on the capitalization method, was carried out via the external property experts who determined market rental values and market yields on all individual sites.

Certain corrections are added to these market rental values and market yields depending on the specific situation (e.g. difference between current rent and market rental value, present value of future investments, and estimated future vacancy).

As mentioned above, the fair value of the investment properties
is mainly determined using the market rental value (€/m²) and
the equivalent yield (net yield based on an equivalent product
at this location). The table below gives an overview of these two
parameters by geographical region, giving
• a minimum and maximum rental value in each case
(reflecting the warehouse component of ERV only)
• and a weighted average, which takes account of the ERV
and the surface area of the portfolio as a whole.
The fair value of the investment properties is also determined
by the difference between the current rent and the market
rental value.

  • property location;
  • proportion of offices relative to the whole site.

The table above shows that the minimum and maximum market rental values are far apart. This is mainly due to: • type of logistics (e.g. refrigerated/cross-dock warehousing The cash flow method is no longer used as it does not add value to the existing capitalization method. The cash flow method will be applied in support of the capitalization method in very specific cases only.

Actual rent compared to market rental value (%) 93.29% 90.13% 102.26% N/A

2. Solar panels

In practice, the fair value measurement of the solar panels is based on a calculation of the net present value over the remaining term of the green energy certificates.

Solar panels are measured using the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment. After initial recognition, an asset whose fair value can be measured reliably is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method.

When determining the discounting method, the following matters are taken into account:

  • The useful life of solar panels is estimated at 20 years.
  • The green energy certificates amount to between €0 and €450 per certificate; payments for these certificates are time-limited, so an application for a certificate is submitted as soon as the solar panels become operational. At a certain capacity, Montea as owner is entitled to a payment. However, these payments have decreased year by year (in 2009 they amounted to €450 per certificate and since August 2022 the certificates for installations entering operation after 2013 have been reduced to 0 due to the ongoing high energy costs)
  • Revenue from power sold to customers are based on the contracts in place;
  • Revenue from surplus power sold back to the energy suppliers is based on the contracts in place;
  • Insurance and maintenance costs for the solar panels are taken into account.
  • A discount rate of between 5.15% and 5.25% is used, determined on a project-by-project basis;
  • Account is taken of an expected drop in yields of about 0.7% per year over the 20-year period due to wear and tear.

The solar panels are valued quarterly by the real estate expert.

Application of the discounted cash flow method gives rise to a gain when solar panels at a new site are taken into commission, as the resulting market value is higher than the panels' original cost. This gain is recognized in a separate component of shareholders' equity. Losses are also recognized in this reserve, unless the losses are realized or the fair value falls below the original cost. In the latter cases, they are recognized in profit or loss.

3. Derivative instruments

In determining the fair value of the derivative instruments, account was taken of the fair value made available to Montea by the financial institutions, based on the swap rate of similar products on 31/12/2024 relative to the hedging instruments taken out. The fair value of the derivative instruments at 31/12/2024 was +€23,751K. This is normally categorized within level 2. In addition, the company must also value the "non-performance risk". The fair value of Montea's hedging instruments is positive.

Based on estimates (credit default swaps as at 31/12/2024, the average lifetime of outstanding swaps), Montea has calculated the non-performance risk at €154.1K, an increase of €100.2K relative to 31/12/2023. Non-performance risk has a negative effect on the fair value of the derivative instruments. Due to the expression of this non-performance risk, the entire fair value of €23,597K is included in level 2. The fluctuation in non-performance risk is largely due to the movement in the market value of the derivative instruments during the past financial year.

4. Financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities consist of bonds, the utilized credit lines and other debts. In practice, the fair value measurement of the bonds was carried out using indicative prices in the active market. As Montea's bonds were not publicly traded as at 31/12/2024, they are classified in level 2 (market valuation in the active market for a similar product). The fair value of the fixed rate bonds differs from

the carrying amount due to the movement in the EURIBOR interest rate, as a result of which the fair value of the bonds is €46.0 million below the carrying amount. All credit lines were concluded at floating interest rates (bilateral credit lines at EURIBOR 3 month, floored + margin). The fair values of the outstanding credit lines and the floating-rate bond are therefore virtually equal to their respective carrying amounts. Classification in level 2 is justified as market values for similar products are available in an active market.

5. Current assets and current (non-financial) liabilities

The fair value of current assets and current liabilities is deemed to be equal to their nominal value, as these receivables and debts are short-term and credit risk is therefore limited.

Note 40: Segment information

Montea provides segment information in accordance with IFRS 8.

The current portfolio is located in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. The Company manages and coordinates its business geographically and consequently, it also reports on a country-by-country basis. The tables below present the balance sheet and income statement by country.

The "eliminations" column concerns adjustments made on consolidation. There is no effect on consolidated profit. In addition to geographical segmentation, the Company also segments its customer base by industry in order to diversify its risk profile.

The fair value of the investment properties in Belgium is €1,145.8 million in 2024, €126.8 million higher than the fair value in 2023. This increase is mainly due to:

  • Acquisitions through share transactions such as the purchase of sites in the port areas of Ghent and Antwerp, and a plot for development in Zellik
  • The continuation of development at Antwerp, Tongeren, Vorst, Grimbergen and Aalst;
  • Fitting of solar panels at various sites;
  • The increase in the fair value of the existing portfolio.

  • Acquisition of the Reverso portfolio, comprising 17 fully let sites;

  • The increase in the fair value of the existing portfolio.
The fair value of the investment properties in Belgium is €1,082.0
million in 2024, €183.1 million higher than the fair value in 2023.
This increase is mainly attributable to:

The fair value of the investment properties in France is €403.0 million in 2024, €150.2 million higher than the fair value in 2023. This is mainly due to: The fair value of the investment properties in Germany is €89.2 million in 2024, €58.2 million higher than the fair value in 2023. This increase is mainly attributable to the purchase of a logistics park in the port of Hamburg.

  • Acquisitions through the purchase of buildings at Maastricht and Diemen;
  • The continuation of development work at Waddinxveen, Amsterdam, Born and Tiel;
  • Fitting of solar panels at various sites;
  • The increase in the fair value of the existing portfolio.

Note 41: Financial risk management

Exposure to foreign exchange, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks may arise in the normal course of Montea's business. The Company analyses and reviews each risk, defining strategies to manage the economic impact on the Company's performance. The results of these analyses and proposed strategies are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

The sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk is performed on both net result and shareholders' equity. The impact should be the same, as no hedging is applied.

A. Interest rate risk

The table below shows financial debts by nature and type of hedging.

As calculated at December 31, 2024, a rise of 100 basis points in short-term interest rates would lead to an increase of €0.2 million in total financial expenses. This negative effect is due to a hedging ratio of 98%.

Approximately 30% of the Company's non-current and current financial liabilities consist of floating-rate debt. The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to hedge interest rate risk. A detailed overview of these instruments can be found in Note 17. The Company's property portfolio consists exclusively of buildings in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany and all leases are in euros. Consequently, the Company has no exposure to exchange rate risk.

B. Credit risk

On 31/12/2024, 98% of the interest rate risk was hedged by entering into contracts at a fixed interest rate or by entering into hedging instruments such that a rise/fall in interest rates has a limited impact on the Company's result. Note 34 provides an overview of the financial debts and their respective maturities. The company manages its liquidity risk by having sufficient available credit facilities and by matching receipts and payments as much as possible.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. Management has a credit policy in place and exposure to credit risk is managed on an ongoing basis. All new tenants are individually checked for creditworthiness before the Company offers a lease, taking into account a rental guarantee of at least three months.

D. Liquidity risk

The calculation shows that Montea is obliged to pay a dividend. Taking into account the number of treasury shares on the date of this annual financial report and in view of the exceptional EPRA earnings* in 2024, the board of directors of Montea Management NV proposes a total distribution of €86,059 K, representing a gross dividend of €3.74 per share.

Art. 7:212 Companies & Associations Code

As a company, Montea must also comply with article 7:212 of the Companies & Associations Code, which stipulates that dividend distributions must not cause net assets to fall below the amount of share capital and unavailable reserves.

The table below shows that Montea will retain a buffer of €99,627 K after distribution of the proposed dividend of €3.74 per share. This remaining margin post-distribution of €99,627 K arises because the proportionate rise in the net assets of the RREC is greater than the proportionate rise in non-distributable equity (both calculated in accordance with article 7:212 of the Companies & Associations Code).

10.1 EPRA1

EPRA ("European Public Real Estate Association") represents the listed European real estate sector, with over 290 members and more than €840 billion in real estate assets. Its indices serve as a global benchmark and the most widely used investment index for listed real estate, comprising over 100 companies. Inclusion criteria for these indices are available on EPRA's website (www.epra.com). Montea has been part of the European and Belgian EPRA index since September 2018.

EPRA also provides recommendations for reporting and defining key financial and sustainability performance measures for listed

real estate companies, which can be found on the EPRA website ((Sustainability) Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines). Montea adopts most of EPRA's performance measures to enhance reporting quality, standardization and comparability for investors.

EPRA earnings* – EPRA earnings per share

Definition:

The EPRA earnings* are the net earnings (after recognition of the operating result before the portfolio result*, minus the financial results and the corporate income tax, excluding deferred taxes), minus the changes in the fair value of investment properties and properties intended for sale, minus the result from the sale of investment properties, plus the changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The EPRA earnings per share are the EPRA earnings* divided by the weighted average number of shares for the financial year.

Purpose:

The EPRA earnings* measure the company's operating profitability after the financial result and after taxation of the operating result. It is an important measure of the underlying operating results generated by a company from letting real estate. It indicates to what extent the current dividend payments are supported by earnings. The EPRA earnings per share measures the net result from the core activities per share.

Data pack

(1) The auditor carried out a review (ISRE 2410) of the measures included in this section.

The publication of this data is not required under RREC regulations and is not subject to public authority review.

The Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) used by Montea, including EPRA performance indicators, are indicated in this publication with an asterisk (*), in accordance with the guidelines issued by ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority), informing the reader that the definition refers to an APM. Performance indicators defined by IFRS rules or by law, as well as those not based on balance sheet or income statement headings, are not considered APMs. The detailed calculation of the EPRA performance indicators and of other APMs used by Montea are presented in this chapter of the annual report (sections 10.1 and 10.2).

EPRA NAV – EPRA NAV per share

The EPRA NAV indicators are obtained by adjusting the IFRS NAV in such a way as to provide stakeholders with the most relevant information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities. EPRA NAV indicators per share are calculated based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date. The three different EPRA NAV indicators are calculated on the basis of the following scenarios:

Net Reinstatement Value*:

is based on the assumption that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value needed to rebuild the company. The purpose of this indicator is to reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including Real Estate Transfer Taxes.

Net Tangible Assets*

assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby realizing certain levels of deferred taxation. This is the NAV adjusted to include properties and other long-term investments at fair value and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallize in a long-term investment property business model.

Net Disposal Value*

provides a scenario in which the company sells its assets leading to the realization of deferred taxes, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments for the full extent of their liability. This scenario assumes that the company sells the assets, leading to the realization of deferred taxes and the liquidation of debt and financial instruments. This NAV should not be viewed as a liquidation NAV, since the fair value is often not equal to the liquidation value.

The EPRA NDV per share is the EPRA NDV based on the number of shares in issue on the balance sheet date.

EPRA NIY* & EPRA 'topped-up' NIY*

Definition:

The EPRA NIY* is the annualized rental income based on the cash rents passing on the balance sheet date, minus non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, plus the (estimated) acquisition costs. The EPRA 'topped-up' NIY* integrates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY* for the expiry of rent-free periods (or other unexpired rent incentives such as discounted rent or stepped rents).

Purpose:

To introduce a comparable benchmark for portfolio valuations within Europe.

Calculation:

EPRA vacancy rate*

Definition:

The EPRA vacancy rate* corresponds to the complement of the occupancy rate, except that the occupancy rate used by Montea is calculated on the basis of square meters, whereas the EPRA vacancy rate* is calculated on the basis of the estimated rental value.

Purpose:

The EPRA vacancy rate* measures the vacancy rate in function of the estimated rental value, without taking account of unlettable square meters intended for redevelopment, or the land bank.

Calculation:

On December 31, 2024 the occupancy rate stood at 99.9% – compared to 100% at year-end 2023. The very limited amount of vacant space is at Le Mesnil-Amelot (FR) and was previously leased to Espace Phone. The consistently high occupancy rate, over 99% since 2018, is testament to the quality and prime locations offered by Montea's property portfolio.

All of Montea's markets face a shortage of logistics properties, especially high-quality facilities in prime locations, which form the very foundation of our entire portfolio. Occupancy is expected to remain high in all locations, and any vacancy will be temporary.

EPRA LTV*

Definition:

The EPRA LTV* is calculated by dividing net debt by the total property value (including solar panels).

Purpose:

EPRA LTV* is a key measure to determine the percentage of debt relative to the assessed value of the properties.

Calculation:

EPRA cost ratio*

Definition:

The EPRA cost ratio* is calculated by dividing administrative and operating expenses (including or excluding direct vacancy costs), by gross rental income.

Purpose:

The EPRA cost ratios* are intended to provide a consistent basis pursuant to which companies can provide more information about the costs where necessary. It is a key measure to enable meaningful measurement of the changes in a company's operating expenses.

Investment properties - Investment Asset Roll Forward

Note:

A property that has been in the investment portfolio for the last 2 full years (i.e. from 01/01/2023 to 31/12/2024) is considered to be fully comparable between these 2 years. The grouping of properties meeting this condition is included in the Like-for-Like analysis. All other properties are noncomparable. We also note the fact that only the standing investments are included in this table, while the CAPEX table (see below) includes concessions, solar panels and developments in addition to the standing investments.

Given that controlling energy procurement is essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we apply the operational control approach in defining our organizational limits for reporting EPRA sBPRs.

Data is collected through a combination of energy monitoring systems, contract data extraction and tenant surveys. Montea recognizes that the accuracy and reliability of the data it uses to monitor the environmental performance of its property portfolio is directly related to the quality of information received, any measurement inaccuracies and other factors that may potentially reduce data quality. However, Montea constantly strives to improve this data quality through automation, the use of multiple sources of verification and by optimizing monitoring systems. The information in this section heading has undergone a limited review in accordance with ISAE 3000 by EY Corporate Auditors.

Given that controlling energy procurement is essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we apply the operational control approach in defining our organizational limits for reporting EPRA sBPRs.

Data is collected through a combination of energy monitoring systems, contract data extraction and tenant surveys. Montea recognizes that the accuracy and reliability of the data it uses to monitor the environmental performance of its property portfolio is directly related to the quality of information received, any measurement inaccuracies and other factors that may potentially reduce data quality. However, Montea constantly strives to improve this data quality through automation, the use of multiple sources of verification and by optimizing monitoring systems. The information in this section heading has undergone a limited review in accordance with ISAE 3000 by EY Corporate Auditors.

(Adjusted) Net debt/EBITDA*

Definition:

The net debt/EBITDA* is calculated by dividing the net financial liabilities, i.e., long-term and short-term financial liabilities minus cash and cash equivalents (numerator), by the EBITDA of the past twelve months (TTM ) (denominator). EBITDA is considered the operating result before the portfolio result, plus depreciation.

To calculate Adjusted net debt/EBITDA*, the net financial liabilities in the numerator are adjusted for current projects under construction multiplied by the debt ratio, as these projects do not yet generate an operating result but are already included under financial liabilities. In addition, the denominator is adjusted for the annualized impact of external growth.

Purpose:

This APM gives an indication of the length of time a company would have to operate at its current level in order to pay off all

its liabilities.

10.3 Property report

Below we provide logistics property market research, prepared in collaboration with our independent valuation experts at JLL. This research covers the countries and submarkets where properties subject to valuation are located, including the Belgian, Dutch, French and German industrial markets.

10.3.1 Belgium – Market Summary

10.3.1.1 Occupier market

Take-up

Demand for industrial space in 2024 was lower than in previous years. Amid a challenging economic outlook, occupiers held onto their existing properties while pausing their expansion plans. This led to a lower annual volume of transactions compared to previous years. Given the record-high transaction volume of over 1 million m² in the past two years, a slowdown was to be expected for 2024.

As a result, take-up was significantly lower than in 2023. Our main findings are that volumes fell across all locations, except along the Walloon corridor (Mons-Charleroi-Liège, E42), which saw record activity in 2024. Take-up in this area was three times higher than in 2023, largely driven by one major transaction near Liège cargo airport.

A total of 708,000 m² of logistics space was let or sold to end users in Belgium in 2024, down 35% from 2023 and 20% below the 10-year average (2014-2023).

The number of completed transactions remained relatively stable, with 58 completed in 2024, compared to 62 in 2023 – a modest 2% decrease. The average transaction size in 2024 was approximately 12,200 m2 , down from 18,000 m2 in 2023, as smaller transactions were more common across most regions. On the Antwerp-Brussels and E313 axes, average transaction sizes dipped below 7,500 m2 .

In contrast, the Walloon corridor saw an increase in take-up in 2024, despite recording only five transactions, compared to a five-year average of nine in the area.

Despite weaker demand, rents continued to rise due to limited supply and higher construction costs, though the pace of growth slowed compared to 2023. Prime rent in Belgium now stands at €69 per m2 /year.

10.3.1.2 Investment market

It was an entirely different picture for the real estate investment market in 2024. While the occupier market experienced a slowdown, the investment market showed clear signs of recovery after a challenging 2023. Cuts to ECB interest rates significantly renewed investor interest in commercial real estate in 2024, resulting in a tentative comeback in Belgium's industrial real estate investment sector.

Annual sales increased from 2023 but remain below the five-year average. Total investment volume for 2024 reached €474 million, up from €435 million in 2023. A notable trend in 2024 was the resurgence of large transactions: two deals fell within the €50-100 million range, whereas none occurred in 2023. There were 15 transactions in the €10-25 million category, a significant rise from just four in 2023. The average transaction size increased by 21% year on year, reaching €16 million.

However, there is still room for improvement. The total number of transactions in 2024 was 29, down from 33 in 2023. Investors continued to focus on value-added transactions, targeting properties with redevelopment potential. Core transactions – involving premium buildings in prime locations – have resurfaced after almost disappearing entirely, trending toward their five-year average. No portfolio deals were recorded in Belgium.

Flanders dominated the investment market, accounting for 90% of total investment volume, followed by Wallonia and Brussels with 5% each.

Belgian investors dominate the market

Belgian investors have traditionally been the most active in this market, but they played a major role in 2024, accounting for 81% of total investment volume. While foreign investors were active in the bidding process, they only secured a handful of deals.

On the seller side, major transactions were completed by MG Real Estate and corporations such as Sappi Benelux and the Balta Group, with Belgian parties being the primary sellers. On the buyer side, Montea, WDP and Smart Unit were all active participants. Notably, German fund Palmira made its first investment in Belgium, acquiring property in the Port of Ghent.

Investment activity leaned heavily toward logistics, which attracted 65% of total capital, compared to 35% for semiindustrial. This marks a reversal from 2023, aligning with the five-year trend.

JLL recorded 14 logistics transactions covering a total of 466,820 m², representing an investment value of €309 million. In contrast, 15 transactions were completed for semi-industrial buildings, totaling 235,017 m² and an investment value of €165 million.

Last-mile delivery (urban logistics) continues to attract investors,
with two new urban logistics transactions completed in the
Antwerp region in 2024.
Prime yields evolve toward new equilibrium
The ECB interest rate cuts reduced investment costs, increasing
the appeal of real estate. Logistics and industrial properties,
viewed as resilient during economic downturns, are attracting
significant investor interest, causing yields to tighten. By the end
of 2024, the prime yield for logistics properties stood at 5.0%,
largely unchanged from the previous year and 10 basis points
below the peak at the start of 2024. The prime yield for semi
industrial properties for 2024 remained stable at 6.2%.
There were clear signs of the investment market recovery in H2
2024, and JLL anticipates further positive momentum in 2025.
10.3.1.3
Outlook
ESG credentials are playing an increasingly significant role, as
both occupiers and investors prioritize properties that meet ESG
standards and offer superior energy efficiency. Due to the scarcity
of greenfield land, brownfield developments and renovations are
becoming more prominent.

Looking ahead to 2025, the persistent imbalance between supply and demand is expected to continue to drive rental uplift in prime locations, albeit at a slower pace than in previous years.

Further recovery in the investment market is expected for 2025. The current resurgence in activity within Belgium's industrial investment market reflects a gradual return of investor confidence, despite the complex economic climate. As a result, JLL expects yields to tighten further and core transactions to regain a larger share of total investment volume.

10.3.2.1 Occupier market

Take-up

The Dutch logistics occupier market ended the year on a strong note, with an overall annual performance comparable to 2023. Approximately 471,000 m² was leased in Q4 2024, up by 8.6% year on year. By the end of 2024, total logistics take-up in the Netherlands reached 2.1 million m², up from 2 million m² in 2023.

This stability in demand follows the decline observed in 2023 following peak levels in 2021 and 2022. Rental activity continued to fluctuate throughout 2024, with companies remaining cautious amid ongoing economic uncertainty.

Our latest data suggest a shift toward a more balanced market as 2024 progresses. While logistics demand remained stable, supply gradually increased, helping to ease the supply-demand imbalance that has emerged in recent years. The overall logistics vacancy rate stood at 3.3% at the end of 2024, up from 3.0% in the previous quarter.

Vacancy and future supply

Despite this overall increase in vacancy, traditional logistics hotspots continue to have lower vacancy rates than the national average, indicating sustained occupier interest in spite of a wider market slowdown. The temporary dip in demand and higher vacancy rates, including for Grade A spaces, have alleviated the upward pressure on prime rents. There has also been a rise in incentive offerings across most markets.

Rental prices

Prime rents – representing the highest rents for new buildings in premium locations – rose again in 2024, albeit at a slower pace than in 2023. In Amsterdam, top rents for logistics properties reached €110 per m²/year in 2024, marking a 10% increase from 2023. In the Rotterdam distribution hub, top rents remained stable year on year at €105 per m²/year.

The average rent paid for logistics spaces in the Netherlands reached €78 per m²/year in Q4 2024 and the outlook is stable.

10.3.2.2 Investment market

The investment market gained momentum toward the end of 2024, with transaction volumes reaching €690 million in Q4. This brought total investment in the logistics sector to €2.08 billion for the year – up 81% year on year – signaling a recovery in investor confidence.

Market activity was remarkably strong in the core plus segment, where investment volumes exceeded €900 million (+490% year on year). Additionally, core capital re-entered the market as investment conditions improved. Prime Net Initial Yields (NIY) have remained stable since September 2024, standing at 4.70%. For semi-industrial buildings, the prime NIY is currently at 5.95%.

10.3.2.3 Outlook

The Dutch logistics market is poised for modest but stable growth, with a slightly more optimistic outlook for 2025. This is supported by improving growth forecasts for the Netherlands – particularly in terms of GDP and consumption – as well as renewed investor interest due to better capital market conditions.

However, ongoing global economic uncertainty and evolving occupier demands will continue to shape market dynamics in the coming year. While companies will seek new expansion opportunities, their decisions will ultimately depend on broader economic conditions.

10.3.3.1 Occupier market

Take-up

In 2024, transaction volume in the French occupier market totaled 3 million m², marking a 23% year-on-year decline despite an active Q4, which recorded 730,000 m² in transactions. The market was impacted by drawn-out decision-making processes and a shift in demand as occupiers seek greater cost efficiencies.

This cautious approach led to multiple project delays and cancellations, resulting in a drop in the number of transactions – 166 recorded in 2024 compared to 248 in 2023, a 33% decline.

However, XXL buildings remained resilient, with take-up rising 26% year on year to over 1.1 million m², largely thanks to two transactions in excess of 100,000 m². This segment remained stable compared to last year with a total of 17 transactions, although these projects had commenced before 2024 in a different economic climate. Smaller platforms faced steeper declines: the sub-10,000 m² segment contracted by 31%, while the 10,000–40,000 m² segment saw a 40% drop, totaling 1,310,000 m² for the year. The number of transactions in these two categories also fell, with 77 and 72 deals, respectively.

Logistics activity outside the major La Dorsale regional markets (Lille-Paris-Lyon-Marseille) has continued to grow since 2021 and accounted for 62% of transactions in 2024. La Dorsale's core markets faced an ongoing shortage of available space, although

the supply-demand imbalance eased slightly due to reduced activity. High demand for the AURA region, which is facing severe supply shortages, was partially redirected to alternative markets outside the north-south La Dorsale corridor. The Centre-Val de Loire region emerged as the most active, recording over 600,000 m² in transactions (20% of total volume), ahead of Hauts-de-France (567,000 m²) and Ile-de-France (442,000 m²). These areas benefit from strong local political support for logistics development and robust industrial ecosystems that attract businesses from further afield.

Paris's Tier 4, encompassing departments bordering Ile-de-France, accounted for 27% of total volume (814,000 m²), up from 18% in 2023, improving its position as a mature logistics market.

Immediate supply increased year on year, reaching close to 4 million m². However, there continues to be an imbalance in terms of distribution, with certain markets experiencing oversupply and others, such as PACA and Nouvelle Aquitaine, facing shortages.

Prime rents

Prime rents for logistics properties saw modest year-on-year growth in most markets. The Paris region retains the highest prime rent in the country at €78 per m²/year, reflecting a 4% year-on-year increase. Lille also saw a 4% rise, reaching €56 per m²/year. In contrast, prime rents in La Dorsale's other two submarkets, Lyon (€69 per m²/year) and Marseille (€65 per m²/ year), remained stable throughout 2024.

10.3.3.2 Investment market

With a combined total of nearly €13 billion in transactions, logistics and semi-industrial assets represented 41% of real estate investments in France in 2024, a historically high share.

However, the number of deals declined to 230, compared to 273 in 2023 and an average of 285 over the last five years. The largest transaction of the year was ARES' acquisition of the "Montclair" portfolio, consisting of nine warehouses with a total value of €323 million.

A total of 12 deals exceeding €100 million were completed, accounting for 43% of total investment volume in the industrial and logistics sector. Other notable deals included WDP's purchase of two logistics sites from ALTAREA and two major investments by BLACKSTONE: a €273 million commercial property portfolio purchased from AMUNDI and a majority stake in a European logistics portfolio acquired from BURSTONE, with the French portion valued at €250 million.

The logistics and industrial investment market remains strong, with total investment volume reaching €5.2 billion in 2024, marking a 67% increase from 2023. This figure trends toward the five-year average of €5.6 billion and was primarily driven by activity during H2, which accounted for €3.5 billion, or 67% of the annual total. bolstered the market, leading to a slight compression of yields during Q4. Looking ahead, returns are expected to stabilize, while core-plus and value-add investors continue to focus on existing buildings with redevelopment potential, particularly those requiring significant ESG-related upgrades.

Foreign investors were particularly active in 2024, holding a 62% market share, up from 35% in 2023. Notably, 79% of international investments were completed by fund managers.

Prime yields

Investor demand for industrial assets remained strong and this led to a further tightening of prime yields. At the end of the year, these stood at 4.80% for logistics properties and 5.80% for semi-industrial properties.

10.3.3.3 Outlook

France has solidified its position as one of Europe's most dynamic logistics markets, attracting sustained investment activity. The return of institutional investors after an 18-month absence

Take-up

In 2024, approximately 5.47 million m² of logistics and industrial space was leased or sold in the German market, marking a 12% decline from 2023 and the lowest annual volume in a decade.

Despite this decline, the number of transactions remained relatively stable at 680, a modest 2% year-on-year decrease. Compared to the five-year average of 790 contracts, this is down by 14%. Owner-occupiers accounted for 1.3 million m², or a quarter of total take-up, mirroring 2023 levels.

In the Big 5 markets (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich), transaction volume reached 1.39 million m² in 2024, a 10% decline from 2023 and a 30% drop compared to the five-year average.

Outside the Big 5, approximately 4.08 million m² was leased or sold to owner-occupiers. This represents another year-on-year decline, down 13% from 2023 (4.70 million m² of take-up) and 25% below the five-year average.

This decline in take-up in 2024 was primarily driven by fewer lettings in the 10,000 m² and over segment, with only 26 transactions totaling 464,400 m². This was 11 fewer transactions and 28% less leased space than in 2023. Compared to the five-year average, this segment saw 17 fewer transactions and a 50% reduction in leased space.

Frankfurt continued to lead the way with 425,000 m² in take-up, which was down by just 3% on the previous year. This was followed by Berlin, with 283,300 m² (-30%) and Düsseldorf with 257,000 m², which was slightly above 2023 levels (+3%). Hamburg saw a 15% decline, reaching 237,700 m², marking another below-average year for this market. Munich performed well with 183,600 m² (+8%), on the back of one major deal: logistics company Group 7 started construction on its 60,000 m² logistics center in Oberding during Q1. One of the largest deals in Q4 involved an online retailer leasing c. 35,000 m² in Düsseldorf as part of a major project development.

Outside the Big 5, the Ruhr region led the way with c. 432,000 m², though this represented a 23% year-on-year drop. Cologne (264,800 m²) and Leipzig/Halle (258,500 m²) followed at a considerable distance. The number of large transactions outside the Big 5 was much lower than in the previous year.

By sector, the highest demand in the Big 5 in 2024 was from manufacturing (425,900 m²) and distribution/logistics (402,900 m²), although the latter was down by 32% on 2023. Retail take-up increased by 3% over the same period, reaching a total of 337,700 m².

Outside the Big 5, distribution/logistics played the biggest part, with 38% of take-up (+10% year on year). This was followed by

manufacturing, with a third of take-up, which was down by 27% on the previous year. Despite securing the largest deals, retail accounted for just 21% of total take-up.

Prime rents

After sharp increases in previous years, prime rents for spaces of 5,000 m² and above grew moderately in most regions in 2024. Berlin bucked this trend, registering a 31% increase. Munich remains the most expensive market, with prime rents reaching €128.4 per m²/year (€10.70 per m²/month), followed by Berlin at €126 per m²/year (€10.50 per m²/month) and Düsseldorf at €108 per m²/year (€9.00 per m²/month).

10.3.4.2 Investment market

The German logistics and industrial real estate investment market recorded a transaction volume of €7.9 billion in 2024, an 8% increase from 2023 and 11% above the 10-year average.

Portfolio transactions stood out, rising by 30% year on year to €3.4 billion.

Investors were especially active during H2, with Q4 alone contributing 40% of the total annual figure, amounting to c. €3.1 billion in industrial property investments. The market benefited from 10 major transactions exceeding €100 million each, reaching a combined total of €87 billion. This included the standout deal of the year: private equity firm Brookfield's acquisition of the Tritax Eurobox platform.

Prime yields

Prime yields for logistics properties in the Big 5 (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich) fell by 10 basis points in Q3 of 2024, reaching 4.30%. Yields are expected to tighten further in 2025.

10.3.4.3
Outlook
The market faces continued challenges due to the economic
climate, trade conflicts and geopolitical tensions. Many companies
are hesitant to sign new leases, leading to delayed decisions
and extensions to existing contracts. Until economic conditions
improve and companies regain certainty, logistics rental market
dynamics are unlikely to gain significant momentum.
Persistently low demand will cause rents to stagnate across most
regions, with more peripheral locations potentially even seeing
rents fall in 2025.
Most regions also face ongoing shortages of available land for
logistics development and modern spaces that are ready to rent at
short notice. Speculative construction remains limited, with many
previously planned projects now shelved unless pre-lets are in
place.
Logistics will clearly continue to be a key focus for investors
in 2025. As market conditions recover and capital returns,
transaction volumes are projected to gradually rise, with an
estimated total of €9 billion by the end of 2025. Interest rate
policy and the resulting trends, available capital and mounting
investment pressure will also have a decisive impact on logistics
property pricing this year. Prime yields are expected to compress

further, potentially reaching 4.15% by the end of the year.

Montea NV – 31 12 2024 Page 1

To the company administrators Montea NV Industriezone III Zuid Industrielaan 27 bus 6 9320 Erembodegem Belgium

Antwerp, 31th December 2024

Dear Sir, Dear Madam,

In accordance to the article 47 of the law of 12 May 2014 on the Belgian Real Estate Investment Trusts (SIR/GVV), you asked Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) and Stadim to value the buildings situated in Belgium, France The Netherlands and Germany, belonging to the BE-REIT.

Our mission has been realized in complete independence.

In accordance with established practice, our mission has been realized based on the information communicated by Montea NV regarding rental condition, charges and taxes carried by the lessor, work to be realized, as well as all other elements that might influence the value of the buildings. We suppose this information to be exact and complete. The ESG performance of a property plays also a prominent role in valuation and exploitation, which is reflected in the valuations. As stated explicitly in our valuation reports, this does not include in any way the valuation of structural and technical quality of the building, nor an analysis of the presence of any harmful material. These elements are known by Montea NV, that manages its portfolio in a professional manner and carries a technical and juridical due diligence before the acquisition of each building.

Every building is known by the experts. They work with different software, such as Argus Enterprise or Microsoft Excel.

Investment Value is defined as the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion."

Investment Value is an appropriate basis for establishing Fair Value under international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In the IFRS the IASB defines fair value as: "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The experts have adopted different methods.

JLL have adopted two different methods: the « Term and Reversion » method and the

« Hardcore » method. Besides, they also did a control in terms of price per m².

According to the « Term and Reversion » method, the capitalization of the revenues considers the actual revenue until the end of the current contract, and then takes the estimated rental value in perpetuity. According to the « Hardcore » method, the estimated rental value is capitalized in perpetuity before looking at adjustments that consider surfaces that are rented below or above their rental value, void, etc.

The method used by Stadim is based on Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), in combination with the capitalisation method when desired. The Stadim approach is characterized by reference prices on the one hand and the factoring in of future earnings on the other.

The yield, used for these methods, represents the expected yield for investors for this kind of properties. It reflects the intrinsic risks of the good and the sector (future void, credit risk, maintenance obligations, etc.). To determine this yield, experts based themselves on the most comparable transactions and current transactionsin their investment department.

Docusign Envelope ID: 77349B4D-63E0-4706-B507-A97A3B90640E 10.4 Valuation reports

When there are unusual factors or specific factors applicable to a property, corrections will be applied (important renovations, non-recoverable costs…).

The sale of a property is in theory subjected to transaction costs. This amount depends among others on the method of transfer, the type of buyer and the geographic location of the property. This amount is known once the sale is closed. In Belgium, as independent real estate experts we can admit that based on a representative sample of transactions in the market between 2002 and 2005 (and recently revised for the period 2013-2016), the weighted average of the costs (average of the transaction costs) was 2,5% (for goods with a net value superior to 2.500.000 EUR). The Belgian properties are considered as a portfolio. The transaction costs for buildings located is France is 1,8% when the building is less than 5 years old and between 6,9% and 7,5%, depending on the department, in all other case. The transaction costs for buildings located in The Netherlands is 10,4%. The transaction costs for buildings located in Germany depend on region and market value volume.

Docusign Envelope ID: 77349B4D-63E0-4706-B507-A97A3B90640E

10.4.1 Real estate expert conclusions

Based on the remarks in previous paragraphs, we confirm that the investment value of the real estate portfolio of Montea NV on December 31th, 2024 amounts to:

2.970.925.293 EUR

(Two billion nine hundred seventy million nine hundred twenty-five thousand two hundred ninety-three EUR)

This amount takes into account the value attributed to the buildings valuated by the companies, Jones Lang LaSalle and Stadim in the four countries where Montea NV is present.

After deduction of respectively 2,5% for buildings located in Belgium (average rate of transaction costs defined by the experts of the BE-REITS), 1,8% / 6,9%-7,5% for buildings located in France, 10,4%-for buildings located in The Netherlands, and transaction costs depending on the location and volume for buildings in Germany, as transaction cost on the market value, we obtain a Fair Value of Montea NV real estate assets as of December 31th, 2024 at :

2.792.794.423 EUR

(Two billion seven hundred ninety-two million seven hundred ninety-four thousand four hundred twenty-three EUR)

This amount takes into account the value attributed to the buildings valuated by the companies Jones Lang LaSalle and Stadim in the four countries where Montea NV is present.

We stay at your entire disposition if any questions about the report would remain. In the meantime, we offer you our kind salutations,

Our mandate expires at the shareholders' meeting that will deliberate on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 202 4. We performed the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group during 15 consecutive years.

Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Unqualified opinion

We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Montea nv, that comprise of the consolidated balance sheet on 31 December 2024, the consolidated income statement before profit distribution, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income before appropriation of profit, the consolidated cash flow statement, and the statement of changes in consolidated equity and reserves for the year ended 31 December 2024 and the disclosures , including material accounting policy information, which show a consolidated balance sheet total of € 2.885.045 thousand and of which the consolidated income statement shows a net result of € 171.525 thousand.

Basis for the unqualified opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISA 's") applicable in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the ISA's approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB") that apply at the current year-end date and have not yet been approved at national level. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report.

We have complied with all ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium, including those with respect to independence.

We have obtained from the Board of Directors and the officials of the Company the explanations and information necessary for the performance of our audit and we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

10.4.3 Auditor's report to the General Shareholders' Meeting for the company Montea NV for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 (consolidated)

Audit report dated 17 April 2025 on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Montea nv as of and for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current reporting period.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and consequently we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of the investment properties

Description of the key audit matter

Investment property represents 9 4% of the assets of the Group. As at 31 December 2023, the investment properties on the assets of the balance sheet amount to € 2.720.052 thousand .

In accordance with the accounting policies and IAS 40 standard "Investment property", investment property is measured at fair value, and the changes in the fair value of investment property are recognized in the income statement.

The fair value of investment properties belongs to the level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as defined within the IFRS 13 standard "Fair Value Measurement". Some assumptions used for valuation purposes are based on data that can be observed only to a limited extent (discount rate, future occupancy rate, …) and therefore require judgement from management.

The audit risk appears in the valuation of these investment properties and is therefore considered a key audit matter.

Summary of the procedures performed

The Group uses external experts to make an estimate of the fair value of its buildings. We have assessed the valuation reports of the external experts (with the support of our internal valuation experts). More precisely, we have:

  • assessed the objectivity, the independence and the competence of the external experts ;
  • tested the integrity of source data (contractual rentals, maturities of the rental contracts, …) used in their calculations and reconciled with underlying contracts for a sample;

• assessed the models and assumptions used in their reports (discount rates, future occupancy rates, …) for a sample .

Finally, we have assessed the appropriateness of the information on the fair value of the investment properties disclosed in note 2 0 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium and for such internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

As part of the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and provide, if applicable, information on matters impacting going concern, The Board of Directors should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease business operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA 's will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Audit report dated 17 April 2025 on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Montea nv as of and for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

In performing our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework that applies to the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium. However, a statutory audit does not provide assurance about the future viability of the Company and the Group, nor about the efficiency or effectiveness with which the board of directors has taken or will undertake the Company's and the Group's business operations. Our responsibilities with regards to the going concern assumption used by the board of directors are described below.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA 's, we exercise professional judgment and we maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:

  • identification and assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, the planning and execution of audit procedures to respond to these risks and obtain audit evidence which is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting material misstatements resulting from fraud is higher than when such misstatements result from errors, since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • obtaining insight in the system of internal controls that are relevant for the audit and with the objective to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control;
  • evaluating the selected and applied accounting policies, and evaluating the reasonability of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors as well as the underlying information given by the Board of Directors;
  • conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going -concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether or not a material uncertainty exists related to events or

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's or Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going -concern;

• evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and evaluating whether the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events.

We communicate with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the audits of the subsidiaries. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities.

We provide the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report, unless the law or regulations prohibit this.

Audit report dated 17 April 2025 on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Montea nv as of and for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

Verslag van de commissaris aan de algemene vergadering van Montea nv over het boekjaar afgesloten op 3 1 dec ember 2024

In het kader van de wettelijke controle van de jaarrekening van Montea nv (de "Vennootschap"), brengen wij u verslag uit in het kader van ons mandaat van commissaris. Dit verslag omvat ons oordeel over de balans op 31 december 202 4, de resultatenrekening, het globaal resultaat vóór winstverdeling, de mutatietabel eigen vermogen en detail reserves, en het kasstroomoverzicht van het boekjaar afgesloten op 31 december 202 4 en over de toelichting, met informatie van materieel belang over de gehanteerde grondslagen voor financiële verslaggeving (alle stukken gezamenlijk de "Jaarrekening") en omvat tevens ons verslag betreffende overige door wet - en regelgeving gestelde eisen . Deze verslagen zijn één en ondeelbaar.

Wij werden als commissaris benoemd door de algemene vergadering op 17 mei 2022, overeenkomstig het voorstel van het bestuursorgaan uitgebracht op aanbeveling van het auditcomité. Ons mandaat loopt af op de datum van de algemene vergadering die zal beraadslagen over de Jaarrekening afgesloten op 31 december 2024. We hebben de wettelijke controle van de Jaarrekening van de Vennootschap uitgevoerd gedurende 15 opeenvolgende boekjaren.

Verslag over de controle van de Jaarrekening

Oordeel zonder voorbehoud

Wij hebben de wettelijke controle uitgevoerd van de Jaarrekening van Montea nv, die de balans op 31 december 202 4 omvat, alsook de resultatenrekening, het globaal resultaat vóór winstverdeling, de mutatietabel eigen vermogen en detail reserves, en het kasstroomoverzicht van het boekjaar afgesloten op die datum en de toelichting, met informatie van materieel belang over de gehanteerde grondslagen voor financiële verslaggeving, met een balanstotaal van € 2.873.755 duizend en waarvan de resultatenrekening afsluit met een netto resultaat van € 171 .52 5 duizend.

Naar ons oordeel geeft de Jaarrekening een getrouw beeld van het vermogen en van de financiële toestand van de Vennootschap per 31 december 2024, alsook van haar resultaten over het boekjaar dat op die datum is afgesloten, in overeenstemming met de IFRS Accounting Standards zoals goedgekeurd door de Europese Unie en met de in België van toepassing zijnde wettelijke en reglementaire voorschriften.

Basis voor ons oordeel zonder voorbehoud

We hebben onze controle uitgevoerd in overeenstemming met de International Standards on Auditing ("ISA's") die van toepassing zijn in België. Wij hebben bovendien de door International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB") goedgekeurde ISA's toegepast die van toepassing zijn op huidige afsluitingsdatum en nog niet goedgekeurd zijn op nationaal niveau. Onze verantwoordelijkheden uit hoofde van die standaarden zijn nader beschreven in het gedeelte "Onze verantwoordelijkheden voor de controle van de Jaarrekening" van ons verslag .

Wij hebben alle deontologische vereisten die relevant zijn voor de controle van de Jaarrekening in België nageleefd, met inbegrip van deze met betrekking tot de onafhankelijkheid.

Wij hebben van het bestuursorgaan en van de aangestelden van de Vennootschap de voor onze controle vereiste ophelderingen en inlichtingen verkregen.

Verslag van de commissaris van 17 april 2025 over de Jaarrekening van Montea nv over het boekjaar afgesloten op 3 1 december 2024 (vervolg)

Wij zijn van mening dat de door ons verkregen controle -informatie voldoende en geschikt is als basis voor ons oordeel .

Kernpunten van de controle

De kernpunten van onze controle betreffen die aangelegenheden die volgens ons professioneel oordeel het meest significant waren bij onze controle van de Jaarrekening van de huidige verslagperiode.

Deze aangelegenheden werden behandeld in de context van onze controle van de Jaarrekening als een geheel en bij het vormen van ons oordeel hieromtrent en derhalve formuleren wij geen afzonderlijk oordeel over deze aangelegenheden.

Waardering van de vastgoedbeleggingen

• Beschrijving van het punt en het auditrisico

De vastgoedbeleggingen vertegenwoordigen 4 4% van de activa van de Vennootschap. Op 31 december 2024 zijn deze terug te vinden onder de rubriek 'vastgoedbeleggingen' van het actief van de balans voor een totaalbedrag van € 1.250.643 duizend.

Overeenkomstig de waarderingsregels en de IAS 40 norm "Vastgoedbeleggingen" worden deze vastgoedbeleggingen gewaardeerd tegen de reële waarde, en worden de reële waarde -wijzigingen opgenomen in de resultatenrekening.

De reële waarde van deze vastgoedbeleggingen wordt geclassificeerd onder niveau 3 van de reële waarde hiërarchie zoals gedefinieerd onder de IFRS 13 norm "De waardering tegen reële waarde". Bepaalde hypotheses die gebruikt worden voor de waardering zijn gebaseerd op data die slechts beperkt waarneembaar zijn (verdisconteringsvoet, toekomstige bezettingsgraad, ...) en vereisen daarom een inschatting van het management.

Het auditrisico ligt in de waardering van deze vastgoedbeleggingen en is daarom een kernpunt van onze controle.

• Samenvatting van de uitgevoerde procedures

De Vennootschap maakt gebruik van externe deskundigen om de reële waarde van zijn gebouwen te schatten. We hebben (met de hulp van onze eigen interne waarderingsdeskundigen) de waarderingsverslagen van deze externe deskundigen geëvalueerd.

  • Specifiek hebben we: de objectiviteit, onafhankelijkheid en competentie van de externe deskundigen geanalyseerd;
  • de integriteit van de belangrijkste brongegevens (contractuele huurprijs, duur van de huurovereenkomsten, ...) die gebruikt worden in hun berekeningen nagegaan en afgestemd met onderliggende contracte n voor een steekproef;
  • en de modellen en hypotheses beoordeeld die in hun verslagen zijn gebruikt (verdisconteringsvoet, toekomstige bezettingsgraden, …) voor een steekproef.

Tenslotte hebben we de geschiktheid van de informatie over de reële waarde van de vastgoedbeleggingen in de toelichtingen 7.2, 7.33 en 7.41 van de Jaarrekening beoordeeld.

Verantwoordelijkheden van het bestuursorgaan voor het opstellen van de Jaarrekening

Het bestuursorgaan is verantwoordelijk voor het opstellen van de Jaarrekening die een getrouw beeld geeft in overeenstemming met IFRS Accounting Standards en met de in België van toepassing zijnde wettelijke en reglementaire voorschriften, alsook voor een systeem van interne beheersing die het bestuursorgaan noodzakelijk acht voor het opstellen van de Jaarrekening die geen afwijking van materieel belang bevat die het gevolg is van fraude of van fouten .

The auditor's report relating to the statutory annual accounts of Montea is drawn up exclusively in the language in which the full document is published.

Verslag van de commissaris van 17 april 2025 over de Jaarrekening van Montea nv over het boekjaar afgesloten op 3 1 december 2024 (vervolg)

In het kader van de opstelling van de Jaarrekening is het bestuursorgaan verantwoordelijk voor het inschatten van de mogelijkheid van de Vennootschap om haar continuïteit te handhaven, het toelichten, indien van toepassing, van aangelegenheden die met continuïteit verband houden en het gebruiken van de continuïteitsveronderstelling tenzij het bestuursorgaan het voornemen heeft om de Vennootschap te vereffenen of om de bedrijfsactiviteiten stop te zetten of geen realistisch alternatief heeft dan dit te doen.

Onze verantwoordelijkheden voor de controle over de Jaarrekening

Onze doelstellingen zijn het verkrijgen van een redelijke mate van zekerheid over de vraag of de Jaarrekening als geheel geen afwijking van materieel belang bevat die het gevolg is van fraude of van fouten en het uitbrengen van een commissarisverslag waarin ons oordeel is opgenomen. Een redelijke mate van zekerheid is een hoog niveau van zekerheid, maar is geen garantie dat een controle die overeenkomstig de ISA 's is uitgevoerd altijd een afwijking van materieel belang ontdekt wanneer die bestaat. Afwijkingen kunnen zich voordoen als gevolg van fraude of fouten en worden als van materieel belang beschouwd indien redelijkerwijs kan worden verwacht dat zij, individueel of gezamenlijk, de economische beslissingen genomen door gebruikers op basis van de Jaarrekening, beïnvloeden.

Bij de uitvoering van onze controle leven wij het wettelijk, reglementair en normatief kader dat van toepassing is op de controle van de Jaarrekening in België na. De wettelijke controle biedt geen zekerheid omtrent de toekomstige levensvatbaarheid van de Vennootschap, noch omtrent de efficiëntie of de doeltreffendheid waarmee het bestuursorgaan de bedrijfsvoering van de Vennootschap ter hand heeft genomen of zal nemen. Onze verantwoordelijkheden inzake de door het bestuursorgaan gehanteerde continuïteitsveronderstelling staan hieronder beschreven.

Als deel van een controle uitgevoerd overeenkomstig de ISA 's, passen wij professionele oordeelsvorming toe en handhaven wij een professioneel -kritische instelling gedurende de controle. We voeren tevens de volgende werkzaamheden uit:

• het identificeren en inschatten van de risico's dat de Jaarrekening een afwijking van materieel belang bevat die het gevolg is van fraude of fouten, het bepalen en uitvoeren van controlewerkzaamheden die op deze risico's inspelen en het verkrijgen van controle -informatie die voldoende en geschikt is als basis voor ons oordeel. Het risico van het niet detecteren van een van materieel belang zijnde afwijking is groter indien die afwijking het gevolg is van fraude dan indien zij het gevolg is van fouten, omdat bij fraude sprake kan zijn van samenspanning, valsheid in geschrifte, het opzettelijk nalaten om transacties vast te leggen, het opzettelijk verkeerd voorstellen van zaken of het doorbreken van het systeem van interne beheersing;

• het verkrijgen van inzicht in het systeem van interne beheersing dat relevant is voor de controle, met als doel controlewerkzaamheden op te zetten die in de gegeven omstandigheden geschikt zijn maar die niet zijn gericht op het geven van een oordeel over de effectiviteit van het systeem van interne beheersing van de Vennootschap;

• het evalueren van de geschiktheid van de gehanteerde grondslagen voor financiële verslaggeving en het evalueren van de redelijkheid van de door het bestuursorgaan gemaakte schattingen en van de daarop betrekking hebbende toelichtingen;

Verslag van de commissaris van 17 april 2025 over de Jaarrekening van Montea nv over het boekjaar afgesloten op 3 1 december 2024 (vervolg)

• het concluderen van de aanvaardbaarheid van de door het bestuursorgaan gehanteerde continuïteitsveronderstelling, en op basis van de verkregen controle -informatie, concluderen of er een onzekerheid van materieel belang bestaat met betrekking tot gebeurtenissen of omstandigheden die significante twijfel kunnen doen ontstaan over de mogelijkheid van de Vennootschap om de continuïteit te handhaven. Als we besluiten dat er sprake is van een onzekerheid van materieel belang, zijn wij ertoe gehouden om de aandacht in ons commissarisverslag te vestigen op de daarop betrekking hebbende toelichtingen in de Jaarrekening of, indien deze toelichtingen inadequaat zijn, om ons oordeel aan te passen. Onze conclusies zijn gebaseerd op de controle -informatie die verkregen is tot op de datum van ons

  • commissarisverslag. Toekomstige gebeurtenissen of omstandigheden kunnen er echter toe leiden dat de continuïteit van de Vennootschap niet langer gehandhaafd kan worden;
  • het evalueren van de algehele presentatie, structuur en inhoud van de Jaarrekening, en of deze Jaarrekening de onderliggende transacties en gebeurtenissen weergeeft op een wijze die leidt tot een getrouw beeld.

Wij communiceren met het bestuursorgaan, onder andere over de geplande reikwijdte en timing van de controle en over de significante controlebevindingen, waaronder eventuele significante tekortkomingen in de interne beheersing die we identificeren gedurende onze controle.

Verantwoordelijkheden van de commissaris

Independent Auditor's assurance report

Introduction

We were engaged by Montea nv to perform a limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information ("ISAE 3000 revised"), thereafter referred to as "the Engagement", to report on selected sustainability indicators included in chapter 10.5 "GRI content index" as listed in appendix 1 ("Subject Matter 1"), the sustainability metrics included in chapter 10.1.2. "Sustainability Reporting: EPRA sBPR tables" ( "Subject Matter 2 "), and (iii) the Company's double materiality section included in chapter 3.1 ("Subject Matter 3") as reported in the annual report of Montea (the "Report") for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. Together Subject Matters 1, 2 and 3 are referred to in this report as 'the Subject Matters".

Other than as described in the preceding paragraph, which sets out the scope of our engagement, we did not perform assurance procedures on the remaining sustainability indicators included in the Report, and accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on this information.

Criteria applied by Montea nv

In preparing the sustainability indicators as listed in Appendix 1 ('Subject Matter 1) in the Report, Montea applied, in all material respects, the Guidelines for the Preparation of the Sustainability Report of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standard s .

In preparing the EPRA sBPR tables ( "Subject Matter 2 "), Montea applied, in all material respects, the EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations ("sBPR") .

Finally, in preparing the double materiality section in the Report (Subject Matter 3), Montea applied, in all material respects, the principles of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards ESRS 1, General Requirement 3 "Double materiality as the basis for sustainability disclosures" (the "Double Materiality Criteria" ).

Together, the Guidelines for the Preparation of the Sustainability Report of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards , the EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations and the Double Materiality Criteria are referred to in this report as "the Criteria".

Montea's responsibilities

Montea is responsible for selecting the Criteria, and for presenting the Subject Matters in accordance with the Criteria, in all material respects. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls, maintaining adequate records and making estimates that are relevant to the preparation of the Subject Matters, such that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

EY's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Subject Matters, based on the evidence we obtained. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information ("ISAE 3000 revised"), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.

Independent Auditor's assurance report Montea nv

A limited assurance engagement undertaken in accordance with ISAE 3000 revised involves assessing the suitability of the Company's use of the Criteria as the basis for the preparation of the Subject Matter, assessing the risks of material misstatement whether due to fraud or error, responding to the assessed risks as necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall presentation of the Subject Matter.

A limited assurance engagement is more limited in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

A limited assurance engagement consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for preparing the Subject Matter and related information and applying analytical and other appropriate procedures. A higher level of assurance, i.e. reasonable assurance, would have required more extensive procedures.

Our limited assurance conclusion relates solely to the Subject Matters.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have maintained our independence and confirm that we have met the requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants and have the required competencies and experience to conduct this assurance engagement.

Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires us to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Description of procedures performed

Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less extensive than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.

A limited assurance engagement consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for preparing the Subject Matter and related information and applying analytical and other appropriate procedures.

Procedures performed, amongst others, included:

  • Obtaining an understanding of the reporting processes for the Subject Matters;
  • Interviewing management and relevant staff at corporate level responsible for consolidating and carrying out internal control procedures on the Subject Matters;
  • Interviewing relevant staff responsible for reporting the Subject Matters to the relevant staff at corporate level;
  • Obtaining internal and external documentation that reconciles with the Subject Matters;
  • Performing an analytical review of the data and trends in the Subject Matters at consolidated level as well, when deemed appropriate in the circumstances, at a disaggregated level;
  • Performing limited tests of details and tracing the input information to supporting invoices or other evidence;
  • Evaluating the overall presentation of the Subject Matters.

Independent Auditor's assurance report Montea nv

Additional procedures performed relating to Subject Matter 3 included amongst others:

• Evaluating the materiality assessment performed by the Company by using the principles of financial

  • Assessing the stakeholder engagement and value chain mapping exercise performed by management in supporting the double materiality assessment;
  • materiality and impact materiality, including setting the materiality thresholds, resulting in the identification of material impacts, risks and opportunities ("IROs");
  • which constitute the outcome of the double materiality assessment.

• Obtaining internal and external documentation that supports the identification of the material IROs

For all three Subject Matters, we believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that that the Subject Matters, included in the annual report of Montea for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Criteria.

10.6 Approach & scope

Montea aligns its ESG reporting with the EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations (sBPR).

10.6.1 Reporting period

The reporting period for this report is the 2024 financial year (January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024). Montea provides an annual update on its sustainability initiatives.

10.6.2 Scope measurement and coverage

In 2024, 98% of Montea offices in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany formed part of the measurement scope.

We apply the operational control approach in determining our organizational boundaries for reporting under EPRA sBPRs (see section 9.1.2).

For the existing portfolio, the coverage details are presented in the table below.

Data is collected through a combination of energy monitoring systems, contract data extraction and tenant surveys. Montea recognizes that the accuracy and reliability of the data it uses in monitoring the environmental performance of its property portfolio is directly linked to the quality of information received, potential measurement inaccuracies and other factors that could potentially reduce data quality. However, Montea constantly strives to improve this data quality through automation, the use of multiple sources of verification and by optimizing monitoring systems.

Data was estimated and extrapolated in relation to consumption and to determine Montea's total emissions. The percentage of data extrapolated was indicated in the EPRA sBPR tables.

10.6.3 Measurement methodology

CO 2 emissions were calculated in line with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. This protocol allows companies to consistently manage their impact on the climate.

11.2 Statutory auditors

The statutory auditor is appointed by the general shareholder's meeting and is chosen from the list of statutory auditors approved by the FSMA.

The statutory auditor of Montea is EY Bedrijfsrevisoren BV, having its registered office at 1831 Diegem, Kouterveldstraat 7B 001, represented by Mr. Christophe Boschmans (acting in the name of a BV). The mandate of EY Bedrijfsrevisoren to act as statutory auditor runs until the annual general meeting of 2025 and covers the audit of the financial years 2022-2024. A proposal to extend the mandate of EY Bedrijfsrevisoren BV to act as statutory auditor for an additional three-year period (financial years 2025-2027) will be presented for approval to the annual general meeting on May 20, 2025.

The statutory auditor's mandate comprises the audit of the Montea's statutory and consolidated financial statements as well as those of the other Montea group subsidiaries incorporated in Belgium. The statutory auditor also carries out the assignments prescribed by the Companies and Associations Code, the RREC Law and the RREC Royal Decree. The annual general meeting on May 20, 2025 will also be asked to appoint, to the extent Montea would be legally required to do so, EY Bedrijfsrevisoren BV to perform the necessary audit procedures on the non-financial information for the financial years 2025-2027, in accordance with the requirements of the CSRD.

Montea confirms that the statutory auditor has agreed to the inclusion of its report in this annual report and to the form or context in which that report is included.

The calculation basis for the statutory auditor's remuneration is a fixed annual fee. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the fixed remuneration of the statutory auditor EY Bedrijfsrevisoren BV for the investigation and audit of the statutory and consolidated financial statements of the Montea group is €75,660.00 (excl. VAT). In addition to the foregoing, the following additional audit assignments were performed by the statutory auditor:

  • Legally required and FSMA assignments: €42,140.00
  • Other: €105,480.00
  • Subsidiaries: €39,680.00

11.3 Real estate experts

Article 24 of the RREC Law stipulates that an RREC must have its real estate valued by one or more independent real estate experts. Real estate experts must act in complete independence, have the professional reliability and suitable experience required for property valuation, and have an organization appropriate to their duties. Valuers are appointed for a renewable term of three years. They may only be tasked with the valuation of any one property for a maximum of three years.

Montea has two real estate experts:

  • Jones Lang LaSalle BV (registered office Marnixlaan 23, 1000 Brussels) for the valuation of assets in Belgium, France and Germany (except assets valued by Stadim) and solar panels. The Jones Lang LaSalle mandate, represented by Greet Hex, was extended in 2023 and expires on 06/30/2025.
  • Stadim (registered office Mechelsesteenweg 180, 2018 Antwerp) for the valuation of certain assets in Belgium and assets in the Netherlands. The Stadim mandate was represented until October 16, 2024 by Leander Asnong after which date he was replaced by Diederik Sondervan. The mandate of Stadim expires on 06/30/2025.

Under article 47 of the RREC Law, the real estate experts must value the property portfolio of the RREC and companies within its group at the end of each financial year. At the end of the first three quarters, the real estate valuer must also update the total valuation set at the end of the previous year, based on market movements and the specific characteristics of the properties concerned. Lastly, each property acquired or disposed of by the RREC (or companies within its group) must be valued by the real estate expert in accordance with the provisions of article 47 of the RREC Law before the transaction takes place.

Under article 24(4) of the RREC Law, the real estate expert's fee may not be linked either directly or indirectly to the value of the property that it assesses. The real estate expert's fee is based on a fixed fee per site in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. The real estate expert may also receive fees for specific assignments.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total fees paid in connection with such assignments were €305,655 (excl. VAT).

Montea confirms that the real estate experts have agreed to the inclusion of their report in this annual report and to the form or context in which that report is included.

11.4 Research and development activities

In 2024 Montea did not perform any research or development activities as referred to in articles 3:6 and 3:32 of the Companies and Associations Code.

11.5 Regulations

Montea is a public regulated real estate company (RREC) under Belgian law, listed on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris.

As a public RREC under Belgian law, Montea is subject to the Companies and Associations Code, the RREC Law and the RREC Royal Decree. As a listed company, it is also subject to all relevant legislation in that regard (including, but not limited to, the Transparency Regulations). Given its legal form, Montea is subject to supervision by the FSMA.

Certain companies in the Montea group have adopted specific legal forms and are consequently subject to the laws and regulations applicable to those legal forms, as follows:

  • Montea's permanent establishment in France (Montea SA, established as a branch of Montea NV) is recognized as an SIIC (Société d'investissement immobilier cotée);
  • Certain group companies in Belgium have adopted the form of a specialized real estate investment fund (SREF) within the meaning of the Royal Decree of November 9, 2016 on specialized real estate investment funds;
  • In relation to real estate investments in The Netherlands, Montea Nederland B.V. and its subsidiaries have been definitively granted FBI status for the financial years 2015 to 2023 (inclusive). Backed by European law and the fact that FBI status was granted for the years 2015-2023, Montea is confident that it will also be granted the FBI status for 2024. Claiming FBI status will cease to be possible as of January 1, 2025.

11.5.1 Regulated real estate companies in Belgium

The status of a regulated real estate company, as introduced by the RREC Law, enables real estate investment companies to be set up in Belgium along the same lines as in numerous other countries,

such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in the United States, G-REITs in Germany, Sociétés d'Investissement Immobilier Cotées (SIICs) in France and UK REITs in the United Kingdom.

The main features of an RREC are:

  • must take the form of a naamloze vennootschap (public limited company);
  • listing on a stock exchange with a minimum free float of 30%;
  • subject to supervision by the FSMA;
  • may perform all activities related to the construction, conversion, renovation, development, acquisition, disposal, management and exploitation of immovable property;
  • may not carry out the activities of a "property developer" (bouwpromotor);
  • mandatory risk diversification: no more than 20% of the company's consolidated net assets may be invested (i) in real estate that forms a single real estate entity (ii) in "other real estate" as defined in article 2(5)(vi) to (xi) of the RREC Law;
  • the debt ratio of the company/consolidated group must not exceed 65% of the assets of the company/consolidated group;
  • the granting of security interests and mortgages is limited to 50% of the total consolidated fair value of the real estate of the RREC and its group companies and to 75% of the value of the encumbered property;
  • strict rules on conflicts of interest;
  • quarterly valuation of the assets by an independent real estate expert;
  • recognition of buildings at fair value (no depreciations);
  • results (rental income and gains on disposal, less operating and financial costs) are exempt from corporate income tax for the RREC itself (not for its group companies), although taxes are payable on disallowed expenses and any abnormal and gratuitous benefits;
  • mandatory distribution at least 80% of the amount of the adjusted statutory result and net gains on disposals of property (except where property is exempt from this obligation); however, any decrease in the debt ratio in the course of the financial year may be deducted from the mandatory distributable amount;
  • withholding tax of 30% (with some exceptions) on dividends from regulated real estate companies; functioning as a final tax for natural persons resident in Belgium;
  • existing companies that obtain a license as an RREC or merge with an RREC are subject to a so-called "exit tax" of 15% on unrealized gains and exempt reserves.

(1) For more information on the FBI status in relation to the Montea companies involved, see section 8.2.3.

11.5.2 Specialized real estate funds in Belgium

Specialized real estate funds (SREFs) are governed by the SREF Royal Decree. Until 31/12/2024, two companies in the Montea group had SREF status, namely F.C.B. NV and Immo Fractal NV. Immo Fractal NV merged with Montea NV on 31/12/2024 by way of a transaction equal to a merger.

The main features of a SREF are:

  • closed-end fund with fixed share capital and not listed on a stock exchange;
  • tax treatment similar to an RREC;
  • duration limited to ten years, extendable for successive periods of up to five years each time;
  • light regulatory regime with no FSMA approval and no direct FSMA supervision;
  • registered on the list of SREFs maintained by the Belgian Ministry of Finance;
  • securities issued by an SREF may only be acquired by eligible investors;
  • may be exempted from the AIFM Law if certain criteria are met;
  • must hold real estate worth at least EUR 10,000,000 by no later than the end of the second financial year after inclusion on the SREF list;
  • may only invest in "real estate", broadly defined, but is not subject to diversification requirements or debt ratio restrictions;
  • prohibited from acting as a "property developer" (bouwpromotor) (as defined in the SREF Royal Decree);
  • must prepare accounts in accordance with IFRS;
  • must distribute at least 80% of net income as a dividend each year.

11.5.3 Sociétés d'Investissement Immobilier Cotées (SIICs) in France

Montea operates a branch in France that has SIIC status (Société d'Investissement Immobilier Cotée).

The tax treatment of a SIIC is similar to that of a Belgian RREC. In particular, both are exempt from corporate income tax on their annual income and on capital gains, although tax is payable on any profits from activities other than the sale or rental of property.

The principal features of SIIC status are:

  • exemption from corporate income tax on the portion of net income derived from (i) rental of buildings, (ii) realized gains on the disposal of buildings, (iii) realized gains on the disposal of shares in subsidiaries that have opted for SIIC status or in partnerships with the same purpose, (iv) distributions paid out by their subsidiaries that have opted for SIIC status, and (v) the share of the profit in partnerships performing a real estate activity;
  • mandatory distribution of: (i) 95% of the exempt profit derived from rental income, (ii) 60% of the exempt profit derived from the disposal of buildings and shares in partnerships and subsidiaries subject to the SIIC regime, and (iii) 100% of dividends received from subsidiaries subject to corporate income tax that have opted for the SIIC regime;
  • existing companies that obtain SIIC status for the first time must pay a one-off final "exit tax" based on the difference between the investment value of the portfolio and the tax accounting value of the real estate. The exit tax applicable to SIIC is 19%. Payment of this exit tax is spread over four years, with an initial installment of 15% due at the end of the first year;
  • no maximum debt ratio;
  • free float of at least 40%.

11.5.4 Fiscale beleggingsinstellingen (FBIs) in the Netherlands

In relation to real estate investments in the Netherlands, Montea Nederland B.V. and its subsidiaries have been definitively granted FBI status for the financial years 2015 to 2023 (inclusive). Backed by European law and the fact that FBI status was granted for the years 2015-2023, Montea is confident that it will also be granted FBI status for 2024. Tax returns claiming FBI status will also be submitted for the years up to and including 2024.

Due to changes in Dutch legislation, FBIs will no longer be able to invest directly in Dutch real estate as from 2025. This implies that Montea Nederland B.V. and its subsidiaries will no longer be able to claim FBI status from 2025 onward. The Dutch Tax Authorities took accompanying measures to facilitate the restructuring of property FBIs, such as an exemption from real estate transfer tax.

The main features (legal requirements) of an FBI are:

  • profits of an FBI are exempt from corporate income tax;
  • legal form must be a B.V., N.V., a Dutch mutual fund (fonds voor gemene rekening) or a similar entity established under the laws of a European Union member state;
  • the corporate object and actual activity of the company must (exclusively) comprise the investment of funds;
  • the company's borrowings must comply with two borrowing restrictions:
  • no more than 60% of the tax accounting value of the real estate investments may be financed by borrowings;
  • no more than 20% of the tax accounting value of any other investments may be financed by borrowings;
  • the company must comply with an annual passthrough obligation. This means that the company must make the whole of its annual taxable profit available to the shareholders by no later than eight months after the end of the financial year;
  • the profit to be made available must be shared equally across all shares.

Article 6 - Capital

6.1. Registration and payment of the capital The company share capital amounts to four hundred and seventyone million four hundred and twelve thousand seven hundred and twenty-six euros and nineteen cents (€ 471,412,726.19) and is represented by twenty-three million one hundred thirty-one thousand two hundred and twelve (23,131,212) shares without nominal value, each representing one/twenty-three million

one hundred thirty-one thousand two hundred and twelfths (1/23,131,212ths) of the of the capital.

6.2. Capital increase

Any capital increase will be made in accordance with the Code of Companies and Associations and the RREC legislation. The Company is prohibited from directly or indirectly subscribing to its own capital increase. On the occasion of any capital increase, the governing body shall determine the price, the possible issue premium and the conditions of issue of the new shares, unless the general meeting of shareholders itself would determine them.

If an issue premium is requested, it must be booked in one or more separate equity accounts in the liabilities section of the balance sheet. The governing body may freely decide to place any issue premiums, possibly after deduction of an amount equal at most to the cost of the capital increase within the meaning of the applicable IFRS rules, in an unavailable account which shall constitute the guarantee of third parties on the same footing as the capital and which may under no circumstances be reduced or abolished except by a decision of the general meeting decisive as regards the amendment of the articles of association, except for conversion into capital.

The contributions in kind may also relate to the dividend right within the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend, with or without an additional contribution in cash. In the event of a capital increase by cash contribution by decision of the general meeting or within the framework of the authorized capital, the shareholders' preferential right can only be restricted or cancelled insofar as, to the extent required by the RREC legislation, an irreducible allocation right is granted to the existing shareholders when allocating new securities in accordance with the conditions provided for in the RREC legislation. Capital increases by contribution in kind are subject to the provisions of the Code of Companies and Associations and must be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in the RREC legislation.

6.3. Authorized capital
