Half-year results 2013

Antwerp, August 28, 2013

(Regulated information within the meaning of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007)

Ackermans & van Haaren

The half-year profit of Ackermans & van Haaren increased to 94.8 million euros (1H12: 67.8 million euros) due to higher profits recorded by Delen Investments, DEME and Bank J.Van Breda & C°, and the capital gain that was realized on the sale of the participation in Spano Group.

  • • Delen Investments realized a growth in assets under management from 25.9 billion euros at year-end 2012 to 27.1 billion euros (+5%). This trend is the result of a substantial inflow of new assets at Delen Private Bank as well as at JM Finn & Co in the United Kingdom, and is further strengthened by the positive developments on the financial markets. This led to an increase in net profit to 39.4 million euros (+32%). Bank J.Van Breda & C° recorded a strong commercial performance in terms of lending, client deposits and commission income. This is reflected in a 10% increase in net profit to 17.9 million euros.
  • • In the second quarter, DEME managed to make up the ground it had lost at the beginning of the year. As a result, both turnover (1,207 million euros, +34%) and net profit (34.4 million euros, +24%) are at a higher level than in the first six months of 2012. Rent-A-Port continued to develop its international projects and was able yet again to record a nice profit in Vietnam.
  • Leasinvest Real Estate had substantially expanded its real estate portfolio in 2012 with the acquisition of the Knauf shopping centre in Luxembourg and the State Archives building in Bruges. In 2013 this expansion resulted

in a 17% increase in rental income. The occupancy rate of the buildings remained very high at 96% and contributed to a positive trend in the fair value of the portfolio. The good performance of LRE, however, is not enough to offset the loss in 1H13 of Groupe Financière Duval (seasonal effect in tourism activities of Odalys) and Extensa (timing of sale of land and project results).

  • • At the Sipef plantation group, unfavourable weather conditions in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea led to lower than expected production volumes of palm oil and rubber. Combined with lower market prices for those products throughout the first half of 2013, this resulted in a decrease in net profit to 20.5 million USD (33.2 million USD in 1H12).
  • • With the capital gain of 34.0 million euros (AvH share) on the sale of Sofinim's 72% stake in Spano Group, the Development Capital segment made a substantial contribution to the half-year profit. The contribution of certain other companies was rather less, due in part to seasonal and non-recurring factors.

General comments on the figures

  • • The equity of AvH (part of the group) increased to 2,043.0 million euros, despite a dividend payment of 55.3 million euros in June 2013. This puts the equity per share at 60.99 euros as at 30 June 2013 (59.92 euros as at 31/12/2012). Together with the dividend of 1.67 euros paid in June 2013, this gives the shareholder a growth in equity of 2.74 euros per share (4.6%) over the first six months of 2013.
  • • The net cash position of AvH increased from 87.9 million euros at year-end 2012 to 113.1 million euros as at 30 June 2013. Nevertheless, AvH invested an additional 56.6 million euros in its portfolio over the first six months, such as in the previously reported refinancing of Hertel at the beginning of 2013 (37.5 million euros) and in capital increases at Anima Care (6.7 million euros) and Leasinvest Real Estate (5.5 million euros) to finance their respective growth plans. Moreover, AvH paid a dividend of 55.3 million euros in June 2013, while dividends of certain participations were only received after 30 June 2013. The fact that the cash position has nevertheless increased is due to divestments worth 126.3 million euros, of which the sale of Spano Group accounts for the lion's share.
  • • The net cash position of AvH as at 30 June 2013 includes 21.2 million euros in short-term investments and 19.2 million euros in treasury shares.
  • • Taking into account the dividends which AvH received after 30 June, the net cash position of AvH stood at 154.6 million euros as at 23 August 2013.

• During the first six months of 2013, AvH bought 30,000 treasury shares and sold 32,000. Those transactions exclusively concern commitments (or the hedging of those commitments) undertaken as part of the stock option plan. AvH also concluded a liquidity contract with Kepler Cheuvreux to improve the liquidity of the AvH share. The agreement has been concluded for a renewable term of 12 months and became effective on 1 July 2013.

Outlook 2013

Despite a persistently limited view of how the economy will evolve in the current year, the board of directors expects an improvement in the net result.

Marine Engineering & Infrastructure

In the second quarter, DEME managed to make up the ground it had lost at the beginning of the year. As a result, both turnover (1,207 million euros, +34%) and net profit (34.4 million euros, +24%) are at a higher level than in the first six months of 2012. Rent-A-Port continued to develop its international projects and was able yet again to record a nice profit in Vietnam.

DEME

DEME (AvH 50%) realized a strong turnover growth to 1,207 million euros in the first six months of 2013, compared to 904 million euros in the same period last year. In Belgium, the works for the Northwind offshore wind farm and the implementation of the remediation and management measures of the disaster site following the train derailment in Wetteren were started up, while the third phase of the construction of the C-Power offshore wind farm

continued. Several other large sites were also started up in the course of the first six months (New Doha Port in Qatar, Wheatstone in Australia) or were continued (Gladstone in Australia), thereby ensuring a good occupancy of the fleet from the second quarter onwards. The EBITDA increased to 181.1 million euros (1H12: 144.6 million euros) and the net profit to 34.4 million euros (1H12: 27.7 million euros). Despite the technical complexity in the execution of certain projects for demanding customers, such as the Northwind wind farm in Belgium and the construction of the SARB energy islands in Abu Dhabi, DEME realized an EBITDA in the first six months of 2013 in line with the 18% that was attained over the whole of 2012, taking into account the fact that part of the turnover in 1H13 consists of major subcontracts and supplies such as steel foundations, cables and rocks for wind farms.

The order book was worth 2,954 million euros at the end of June 2013 (compared to 3,317 million euros at year-end 2012) and contains quite a few new contracts across all continents. Specialized contracts for large-scale energy-related projects were awarded to several companies of the DEME group. Those contracts (in Colombia, Venezuela, Australia, Ireland and India) will be carried out for oil and gas companies and firms active in renewable energy and together are worth 250 million euros.

DEME - Northwind wind farm

DEME's subsidiary GeoSea won two major new contracts for offshore wind farms Westermost Rough in the United Kingdom and Borkum Riffgrund 1 in Germany.

The ambitious investment programme was concluded with the payment of the last instalment for the new rock cutter dredger Ambiorix. DEME now has one of the most state-ofthe-art, efficient and versatile fleets in the world.

The DEME group continues to research and develop new applications and technologies, such as in the area of renewable energy. At the end of April, the FlanSea wave energy converter Wave Pioneer was launched. This floating installation generates electricity from wave motion and is specifically designed for a temperate wave climate such as that of the Belgian coast. This blue energy perfectly complements the offshore wind projects that already supply green energy.

At the end of January 2013, DEME successfully issued a retail bond for six years with a gross interest rate of 4.145%. It was fully subscribed within one day up to the maximum amount of 200 million euros. The bonds are quoted on Alternext Brussels.

Algemene Aannemingen Van Laere

Algemene Aannemingen Van Laere (AvH 100%) was unable in the second quarter to fully make up the ground it had lost in terms of turnover as a result of the adverse weather conditions during the first months of the year. The turnover for the first six months amounted to 48.8 million euros, compared to 87.5 million euros last year. The group recorded a net loss of -0.5 million euros (1H12: 1.8 million euros). Based on the turnover to be realized in 2H13 and the corresponding margins, a positive result is projected for the whole of 2013. The order book is currently worth 162.4 million euros. Van Laere is part of the consortium that was selected as preferred bidder for the PPP project A11 Bruges-Westkapelle. This project concerns a new motorway featuring several works of art over a distance of 12 km, to be completed over several years. Car park operator Alfa Park, set up in 2011, is currently making a negative contribution to the group result. Nevertheless, new management contracts for parkings (in Nivelles, Leuven, Ostend, Tubize and Genval) have been signed in the course of 2013.

Rent-A-Port

Rent-A-Port (AvH 45%) realized a turnover in 1H13 of 4.7 million euros and a net profit of 6.7 million euros. Also in 2013, Rent-A-Port derived a substantial proportion of its profit from the Vietnamese operations. Rent-A-Port is a shareholder of the company that develops port sites in Dinh Vu and has a major contract with Bridgestone for the development and sale of 102 hectares. Rent-A-Port is also negotiating very large expansions to the site. Rent-A-Port also continues to develop other port concessions, such as in Nigeria and Oman and implements important consultancy projects in the Middle East.

NMP

NMP (AvH 75%) recorded slightly better results in line with expectations. During the first six months the NMP group invested around 8 million euros in the extension of its network.

Private Banking

Delen Investments realized a growth in assets under management from 25.9 billion euros at year-end 2012 to 27.1 billion euros (+5%). This trend is the result of a substantial inflow of new assets at Delen Private Bank as well as at JM Finn & Co in the United Kingdom, and is further strengthened by the positive developments on the financial markets. This led to an increase in net profit to 39.4 million euros (+32%). Bank J.Van Breda & C° recorded a strong commercial performance in terms of lending, client deposits and commission income. This is reflected in a 10% increase in net profit to 17.9 million euros.

Delen Investments

The assets under management of Delen Investments (AvH 78.75%) attained a level of 27.1 billion euros at the end of June 2013, compared to 25.9 billion euros at year-end 2012. The growth in assets under management persists clearly at Delen Private Bank (18.7 billion euros as at 30 June compared to 17.9 billion euros as at 31 December 2012), but can also be seen at JM Finn & Co (8.4 billion euros as at 30 June compared to 8.0 billion euros at year-end 2012). The group primarily benefited from a strong net inflow of new assets from both existing and new private clients, as well as from the impact of recovering financial markets on the value of the assets under management.

Discretionary mandates Advisory clients

The gross revenues of Delen Investments increased to 127.9 million euros (1H12: 106.0 million euros), primarily thanks to the higher level of assets under management. The cost income ratio remained highly competitive at 53.5% (41.1% for Delen Private Bank, 85.2% for JM Finn & Co), while the net profit increased to 39.4 million euros (29.9 million euros in 1H12).

The consolidated equity of Delen Investments (group share) stood at 448.8 million euros (414.5 million euros at the end of 2012). The group is more than adequately capitalized and amply satisfies the Basel II and Basel III criteria with respect to equity. The Core Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 24.9%.

During the first months of 2013, Delen Private Bank moved into its new offices on Coupure Rechts in Ghent, while the entirely renovated offices on Tervurenlaan in Brussels were reopened as well.

Bank J.Van Breda & C°

Bank J.Van Breda & C° (AvH 78.75%) again showed a strong financial and commercial performance in the first half of 2013. As a result of the constant new inflow of funds, the total client assets (incl. ABK) increased by 12% on the same period last year to 8.6 billion euros (7.7 billion euros at the end of June 2012 and 8.0 billion euros at year-end 2012), of which 3.6 billion euros client deposits and 5.0 billion euros entrusted funds. Of these, 2.8 billion euros is managed by Delen Private Bank. The loan volume from the banking core clients (incl. ABK) increased further by 8% to 3.1 billion euros, while provisions for loan losses remained very low (0.06% when extrapolated on an annual basis).

The bank realized a net profit of 17.9 million euros in the first six months of 2013, compared to 16.3 million euros in the first half of 2012. The pressure on interest results brought about by the continuing disruption of the deposits market where certain banks pay interest on savings at a substantially higher rate than the risk-free rate is, however, amply offset by the increase in commission income. The cost - income ratio remained stable at 57%. The consolidated equity (group share) increased slightly from 427 million euros at year-end 2012 to 431 million euros. This equity enables the bank to sustain its steady growth on a sound financial

footing. Furthermore, the bank already satisfies the solvency criteria which the Basel III agreement intends to implement, with a financial leverage (assets-to-equity ratio) of 9.4 and a Core Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.3%.

ASCO-BDM

The insurance activity of ASCO-BDM (AvH 50%; Sipef 50%) made a limited yet positive contribution to the group result. Following the strong growth in premium volume over the past few years in the marine and general damage insurance segments, the premiums underwritten by BDM stabilized at 37.5 million euros (1H12: 37.2 million euros) as a result of the emphasis on the technical quality of the underwriting.

Real Estate, Leisure & Senior Care

Leasinvest Real Estate had substantially expanded its real estate portfolio in 2012 with the 8 acquisition of the Knauf shopping centre in Luxembourg and the State Archives building in Bruges. In 2013 this expansion resulted in a 17% increase in rental income. The occupancy rate of the buildings remained very high at 96% and contributed to a positive trend in the fair value of the portfolio. The good performance of LRE, however, is not enough to offset the loss in 1H13 of Groupe Financière Duval (seasonal effect in tourism activities of Odalys) and Extensa (timing of sale of land and project results).

Leasinvest Real Estate

Leasinvest Real Estate (LRE, AvH 30.01%) recorded a strong performance in the first half of the year. The fair value of the real estate portfolio, including project developments, stood at 598 million euros at the end of June (compared to 506 million euros at the end of June 2012 and 618 million euros at year-end 2012). In January, the front part of the Vierwinden building in Zaventem was sold at a small capital gain. In March, LRE sold an office building of 4,928 m² situated on Avenue Pasteur in Luxembourg City for around 19.5 million euros, which corresponds to the fair value of the property. In April and May, the remaining two storeys of the Mercure building in Luxembourg were sold at a small capital gain.

The rental income increased to 20.8 million euros (1H12: 17.8 million euros) as a result of the extension of the portfolio with the Knauf shopping centre and the State Archives building in Bruges in 2H12, and additional rentals in Canal Logistics and The Crescent. The average duration of the portfolio stood at 4.36 years, while the occupancy rate increased from 93.4% (1H12) to nearly 96%.

The rental yield, calculated on the fair value, was 7.36% at 30/06/2013 (7.32% at 30/06/2012), while the debt ratio decreased to 47.12% (56.19% at year-end 2012). Leasinvest Real Estate ended the first six months with a higher net result of 13.0 million euros (1H12: 8.7 million euros).

At the end of June, Leasinvest Real Estate successfully implemented a capital increase of 60.7 million euros, which for its share (30.01%) was backed by the AvH group. As at the end of June 2013, the equity of LRE stood at 318.3 million euros (compared to 256.0 million euros at year-end 2012).

By subscribing to the capital increase of Retail Estates for an amount of 7.2 million euros (for its share), LRE maintained its 10% participation.

Leasinvest Real Estate expects to further expand its Luxembourg real estate portfolio and to sell off certain less strategically located properties in the second half of 2013.

Extensa

Extensa (AvH 100%) realized income from land development sales as well as from the progress of the property developments in Istanbul, Roeselare and on the Tour & Taxis site, among others. The construction of the building for the Brussels Department of Environment on the Tour & Taxis site is on schedule for completion in the first half of 2014.

Groupe Financière Duval

The turnover of Groupe Financière Duval (AvH 41.14%) increased from 209 million euros in the first half of 2012 to 218 million euros at the end of June 2013. This turnover growth is primarily due to the successful completion of a number of large projects (Cherbourg and Antibes) in the property development activities of CFA. The net result remained more or less stable at -11.1 million euros (1H12: -11.7 million euros) and, as in previous years, experienced a strong (negative) impact from the seasonal effect at tourism subsidiary Odalys. This effect was compounded in the first months of 2013 by the bad weather and by the startup losses at the opening of new retirement homes.

Anima Care

Anima Care (AvH 100%) realized a turnover of 11.3 million euros in the first six months, compared to 9.7 million euros at the end of June 2012, and a net result of 0.6 million euros (1H12: 0.2 million euros). This improved result is attributable to the extension of the existing residential care centres and the integration of the residential care centres in Auderghem, Braine-l'Alleud and Angleur, which were acquired in the course of 2012.

Anima Care has recently acquired the residential care centre 'St. James' in La Hulpe with 59 beds in operation. This, however, has not yet contributed to the results as at 30 June 2013. As of the end of June 2013, Anima Care has 606 retirement home beds and 60 service flats in operation. Anima Care is also in the process of constructing four new residential care centres in Blegny (150 beds), Zemst (94 beds and 23 service flats), Haut-Ittre (120 beds and 36 service flats), and Kasterlee (133 beds and 63 service flats). The new residential care centre in Blegny will be brought into use this autumn. The opening of the new building in Zemst is scheduled for the first quarter of 2014. The new residential care centre in Haut-Ittre is due to be opened mid-2014, followed by that in Kasterlee in the winter of 2014-2015.

Energy & Resources

At the Sipef plantation group, unfavourable weather conditions in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea led to lower than expected production volumes of palm oil and rubber. Combined with lower market prices for those products throughout the first half of 2013, this resulted in a decrease in net profit to 20.5 million USD (33.2 million USD in 1H12).

Sipef

Plantation group Sipef (AvH 26.76%) was able in the second quarter to make up for the stronger than expected decrease in production volumes of palm oil after the first quarter. As a result, palm oil production decreased only slightly to 120,616 tonnes. Combined with lower prices for palm oil and rubber, however, this led to a decrease in turnover to 152 million USD (175 million USD in 1H12) and in net result to 20.5 million USD (33.2 million USD in 1H12).

Better cost control and the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah and the kina of Papua New Guinea (PNG) helped to keep costs under control.

Sipef invested 52.5 million USD over the first six months of 2013, primarily in the construction of two palm oil extraction plants, the planting of new acreage (mainly in PNG), the acquisition of additional land rights and the maintenance of plantations that have not yet reached maturity.

The expansion programme in PNG continues. This will amount to a total of 3,000 hectares by the end of the year, of which the first fruits will be reaped. In South Sumatra, Sipef currently has licences for 24,311 additional hectares. Some 2,786 hectares have now been acquired and the first plantations have begun.

Assuming that the short-term outlook for palm oil prices is unfavourable, Sipef expects substantially lower annual results for 2013.

Sagar Cements

The results of Sagar Cements (AvH 15.68%) in the first six months were affected by the continuing overcapacity in the South Indian market. Nevertheless, Sagar Cements was able to stabilize its sales volumes, although lower sales prices led to an 18% decrease in turnover (to 35.8 million euros, compared to 46.8 million euros in 1H12). The net result stood at -1.2 million euros, compared to a profit of 1.0 million euros in the first six months of 2012. This loss is due to a combination of significantly higher costs, low capacity utilization (between 50% and 60%), and rising electricity and coal prices which could not be passed on to the customers.

Oriental Quarries & Mines

The first half of 2013 was a transitional period for Oriental Quarries & Mines (AvH 50%). The radical measures which the government imposed on the mining industry in 2012, combined with a number of operational problems, led to the transfer of two stone crushers to new sites in Gwalior (Bilaua) and Moth. This left just the quarry in Bangalore fully operational, while the two other sites only contributed marginally to the results. The turnover amounted to 1.9 million euros, compared to 1.8 million euros in the same period last year. The net loss stood at -0.3 million euros (1H12: -0.2 million euros). OQM continues its efforts to strengthen its position in metropolitan areas such as Bangalore with a stable regulatory framework and a secure RMC market in order to avoid becoming overly dependent on supplying to shortterm infrastructure projects.

Max Green

Due to maintenance works, the output of the Rodenhuize biomass power plant of Max Green (AvH 18.9%) was slightly lower than in the first six months of 2012. The plant generated a total of 0.67 TWh green electricity from sustainable biomass. The results were adversely affected by lower prices for electricity. The many changes in the legal and regulatory framework also presented a constant challenge that is hard to manage. The turnover stood at 82.7 million euros (95.7 million euros in 1H12) and the EBITDA at 1.2 million euros (4.9 million euros in 1H12).

Telemond Group

Telemond Group (AvH 50%) succeeded in increasing its turnover and efficiency in the production of mobile cranes. This is reflected in an increase in the net result to 3.0 million euros (compared to 1.6 million euros in 1H12) and a turnover of 43.8 million euros (37.3 million euros in the same period last year).

Development Capital

With the capital gain of 34.0 million euros (AvH share) on the sale of Sofinim's 72% stake 12 in Spano Group, the Development Capital segment made a substantial contribution to the half-year profit. The contribution of certain other companies was rather less, due in part to seasonal and non-recurring factors.

Hertel (Sofinim 46.55%) has a well-filled order book of 899.5 million euros as at 30 June 2013. With the refinancing operation that was carried out in January 2013 and in which the shareholders (NPM Capital and Sofinim) jointly contributed 75 million euros, Hertel now has a solid financial basis. This is expected to lead to improved productivity and profitability. Following the sale of certain non-core activities in 2012 and the closure of several loss-making sites, the turnover for the first six months amounted to 381.1 million euros (1H12: 438.5 million euros). Due in part to significant closure costs at Hertel France, the net result came to -13.6 million euros.

In January 2013, Sofinim had undertaken to sell its 72.92% stake in Spano Group to the Unilin group. The transaction was approved in April 2013 by the competition authorities and was completed at the beginning of May with a capital gain (AvH share) of 34.0 million euros. With this sale and the interim results since its investment in January 2007, Sofinim achieved an annual rate of return (IRR) of 19%.

Groupe Flo (GIB 47.9%) saw its turnover decrease from 183.4 million euros to 175.1 million euros. In a persistently difficult market, Groupe Flo managed to limit this decrease to 3.2% on a like-for-like basis. The commercial strategy, with focus on quality and service, and an offering adapted to the changing consumer behaviour, has already yielded the first positive results, such as higher spending per customer.

Media groups Corelio (Sofinim 20.3%) and Concentra announced their intention at the end of June to bring their Flemish newspapers and digital publishing operations together in a new company. The joint venture is provisionally called Het Mediahuis. The two groups will participate with a participation of 62% (Corelio) and 38% (Concentra) respectively. As a result of impairments which De Vijver Media (Corelio 33%) recorded on intangible assets, Corelio also closed the first six months of 2013 with a loss. The newspapers of the Corelio group held their own very well in a market where advertising income remained under pressure.

In June, Euro Media Group (Sofinim 22.2%) announced the acquisition of the technical facilities of Alfacam, which specializes in the broadcasting and international wireless transmission of pictures. This strategic transaction gives Euro Media Group, which already has a strong presence in Belgium and Europe, a unique position, primarily in the area of wireless transmissions such as those used in sporting events. In France, an important market for Euro Media Group representing around 45% of the group's turnover, the results remain under pressure.

In the first six months, most other Development Capital participations performed as expected.

The recognition at fair value of financial assets available for sale had a negative impact (including minority interests) of 1.9 million euros. This decrease is explained by the adjustment of these financial assets to the fair value as at 30 June 2013. These are adjustments in the accounts: the assets were not sold. The negative trend is the result of the increase in fair value of the investment portfolio and of the 2.59% interest which AvH holds in Belfimas, the increase in market price of the Retail Estates shares held by Leasinvest Real Estate, and the decrease by 4.2 million euros of the unrealized capital gain on the investment portfolio of Bank J.Van Breda & C°.

Hedging reserves arise from fluctuations in the fair value of certain hedging instruments. For reasons of prudence, several group companies of AvH decided to hedge against the consequences of a potential rise in market interest rates. The fair value of these hedging instruments has generally seen a positive evolution during the first half of 2013. The recognized amounts include minority interests. The biggest variations stem from the recognition of Leasinvest Real Estate (6.8 million euros) and DEME (4.3 million euros).

The evolution of the item 'translation differences' is the result of the appreciation of the euro against a number of currencies in which companies of the group operate.

In accordance with the amended IAS 19 accounting standard, actuarial gains and losses on certain pension plans are directly recognized in the equity under "Other comprehensive income". The presentation as at 30/06/2012 has been reworked accordingly (see also p. 22) to allow a correct comparison.

As of 1 January 2013, the amended IAS 19 standard 'Employee Benefits' became effective. The most important change is the direct recognition in the equity of 'unrecognized actuarial gains and losses' instead of the 'corridor' approach. The comparative figures for 2012 have been adjusted accordingly, with a negative impact on equity (group share) as at 1 January 2012 of -2.6 million euros. See Note 7.1 for more details.

Comments on the consolidated income statement

At 35.3 million euros, the 'Profit from operating activities' for the first six months of 2013 is roughly on the same level as the previous year (35.6 million euros), as the decrease in the operating results of AA Van Laere, the Development Capital segment (Sofinim) and AvH & subholdings is offset by the improved results of NMP, Bank J.Van Breda & C°, Extensa, Leasinvest Real Estate and Anima Care.

The loss recorded in 1H2013 on assets/liabilities recognized at fair value reflects the less favourable development of certain companies in the Development Capital portfolio of Sofinim. It should also be pointed out that the holdings in AR Metallizing and Spano Group no longer contributed to the half-year results on account of their divestment in 2H2012 and 1H2013 respectively. The (favourable) evolution of the fair value of investment property at Leasinvest Real Estate and of derivative financial instruments at Bank J.Van Breda & C° resulted in a positive contribution, as opposed to the first six months of 2012.

The half-year result for 2013 contains a substantial amount of realized capital gains, following the capital gain of 45.9 million euros (group share 34.0 million euros) which Sofinim realized on the disposal of its 72.92% stake in Spano Group. In the first half of 2012, the capital gains in the Development Capital segment stemmed from the sale of Alural Belgium and from the earn-out received on the sale of Engelhardt Druck.

On balance, the impact of the finance income and finance costs on the consolidated group result remained limited in the first half of 2013 as well.

Since many group companies of AvH (such as DEME, Delen Investments, Sipef, etc) are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method, the impact of this item is again very considerable. Fuelled by the increased profits of DEME and Delen Investments in particular, the contribution is also substantially greater than in the same period last year.

The tax cost for the first half of 2013 amounts to 7.8 million euros and is slightly down on last year. In this connection it should be noted that capital gains realized on the sale of shareholdings are, as a rule, not liable to tax and that, since a number of key holdings are accounted for using the equity method, the total tax cost contained in the group result is not visible.

The increased share of minority interests in the result is explained by the increased profits of Finaxis (Delen Investments, Bank J.Van Breda & C°), Sofinim and Leasinvest Real Estate.

Marine Engineering & Infrastructure: contribution to AvH group results: 20.4 million euros

With 17.2 million euros, DEME (AvH 50%) provided the largest contribution to this segment. DEME's contribution was included using the equity accounting method because DEME is a participation over which AvH exercises joint control. The full contribution of DEME is therefore grouped on the line "share of profit(loss) from equity accounted investments". Rent-A-Port (AvH 45%) is also included using the equity accounting method. The consolidated accounts of Algemene Aannemingen Van Laere (AvH 100%) and Nationale Maatschappij der Pijpleidingen (AvH 75%) are consolidated in full.

Private Banking: contribution to AvH group results: 45.0 million euros

Finaxis group (AvH 78.75%), which includes the contributions from Delen Investments and Bank J.Van Breda & C°, represents the lion's share of this segment. Bank J.Van Breda & C° was fully consolidated via Finaxis while the results of Delen Investments were processed in accordance with the equity accounting method. The insurance group ASCO-BDM (AvH 50%) was also entered in the books using the equity accounting method.

Real Estate, Leisure & Senior Care: contribution to AvH group results: -0.3 million euros

Pursuant to the shareholders' agreement between Axa Belgium and Extensa, the real estate investment trust Leasinvest Real Estate - LRE (AvH 30.01%) is under the exclusive control of AvH and is therefore fully included in consolidation. In this segment also Extensa (AvH 100%), and Anima Care (AvH 100%) are fully consolidated while Groupe Financière Duval (AvH 41.1%) is entered in the books using the equity method.

Energy & Resources: contribution to AvH group results: 5.6 million euros

Sipef (26.8%), Oriental Quarries & Mines (50%), Max Green (18.9%) and the Telemond group (50%) are all jointly controlled participations, and are therefore included according to the equity accounting method. The minority interest of 15.7% in Sagar Cements is also listed in this way in AvH's consolidated accounts.

Development Capital: contribution to AvH group results: 27.4 million euros

AvH is active in "Development Capital" via Sofinim (26% minority stake held by NPM-Capital) on the one hand, and via GIB (jointly controlled subsidiary with Nationale Portefeuille Maatschappij) on the other. GIB and the participations held via GIB (Groupe Flo and Trasys Group) were processed using the equity accounting method. Participations in Sofinim's development capital portfolio were valued at fair value while fluctuations in fair value were entered in the results under the "Profit (loss) on assets/ liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss Development capital" item.

AvH & subholdings: contribution to AvH group results: -3.2 million euros

In addition to operational costs, the contribution from AvH & subholdings is influenced to a large extent by possible capital gains.

Comments on the consolidated balance sheet

The balance sheet total of Ackermans & van Haaren as at 30 June amounted to 6,975.5 million euros, which is an increase of 218.4 million euros compared to the situation on 31 December 2012. As is clear from the segment reporting (pages 26-27 and 29-30), the share of the 'Private Banking' segment is crucial in that respect, and is the result of the full consolidation of the Bank J.Van Breda & C° accounts. The growth in the balance sheet total during the first half of 2013 equally stems from this segment.

The expansion investments of Anima Care, involving the acquisition of an existing residence in La Hulpe as well as the construction of new homes (Blegny, Zemst, Haut-Ittre, Kasterlee, etc), are reflected in an increase in intangible and tangible fixed assets and in goodwill.

Most of the goodwill on the balance sheet relates to the 'Private Banking' segment and has remained unchanged compared to last year. It should be noted that an amount of 45 million euros in consolidation goodwill is contained in the item 'Participations accounted for using the equity method', and that the balance sheet of Delen Investments, a group company accounted for using the equity method, contains a 'Clients' item of 244 million euros.

The investment property of 574.2 million euros consist almost entirely of the real estate portfolio of Leasinvest Real Estate, which has decreased slightly following the transfer of a number of properties to 'Assets held for sale' and was adjusted to the fair value at 30 June 2013.

The evolution of the item 'Participations accounted for using the equity method' is explained by the results realized by these companies and the dividends they pay out.

The financial fixed assets have decreased in relation to last year as a result of the sale by Sofinim of its stake in Spano Group and the investments and value fluctuations which affect the fair value of the Sofinim portfolio.

The assets held for sale consist as at 30 June 2013 entirely of assets from the portfolio of Leasinvest Real Estate that have been earmarked for sale.

For the evolution of (the items making up) the equity, reference is made to the statement of changes in equity shown under heading 5 on page 22.

The non-current liabilities stem for the most part from the balance sheet of Bank J.Van Breda & C° and are connected with the banking activity of this institution.

As for the current liabilities, too, reference should be made to the contribution to these items of Bank J.Van Breda & C°. The other short-term financial debt of 201.9 million euros in the segment of AvH & subholdings is to a large extent eliminated in consolidation since it concerns deposits of group companies. As at 30 June, AvH only has external financial debts in the form of commercial paper to an amount of 38.9 million euros.

Comments on the consolidated cash flow statement

The consolidated cash flow which Ackermans & van Haaren generated over the first six months stood at 58.4 million euros, which is only slightly less than the 60.0 million euros of last year.

The working capital decreased by 65.1 million euros, a combination of a decrease in working capital from the banking operations of Bank J.Van Breda & C° by 82.3 million euros (stronger increase in deposits and interbank financing than in lending) and an increase in working capital in all other segments by 17.2 million euros.

The investments in the real estate segment are accounted for by i) the expansion of Anima Care through the acquisition of an existing residence (St. James in La Hulpe) and the construction of new retirement homes in Zemst, Blegny, Haut-Ittre and Kasterlee, and by ii) real estate investments by Leasinvest Real Estate. Leasinvest Real Estate maintained its position in Retail Estates at 10% by subscribing to its capital increase.

Bank J.Van Breda & C° continued to invest in its network of branches and in the development of special software. Short-term investments worth 132.3 million euros were acquired and worth 104.1 million euros disposed of as part of the bank's normal portfolio management.

Despite some new investments by NMP in its pipeline network, the investment cash flow in the segment 'Marine Engineering & Infrastructure' turned out lower than in 2012, when the State Archives building in Bruges was constructed by AA Van Laere and sold to Leasinvest Real Estate in the second half of 2012.

At the beginning of 2013, Sofinim (as well as co-shareholder NPM Capital) strengthened the balance sheet of Hertel by a cash injection of 37.5 million euros.

The dynamic portfolio management of Leasinvest Real Estate resulted in the sale of properties in Belgium (Vierwinden) and Luxembourg (Pasteur, Mercure) for 24 million euros.

The divestments in the Development Capital segment were substantially higher than in the first six months of 2012 due to the disposal of the stake in Spano Group.

Dividends paid to minority interests concern payments to the minority shareholders of Leasinvest Real Estate, Sofinim, Ligno Power and NMP.

7. Notes to the financial statements

7.1. Basis for the presentation of the financial statements

The consolidated financial statements of Ackermans & van Haaren are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations effective on 30 June 2013, as approved by the European Commission. The amended IAS 19 standard 'Employee Benefits' became effective as of 1 January 2013, as a result of which the 2012 financial statements were restated. The most important change is the direct recognition in the equity of 'unrecognized actuarial gains and losses' instead of the 'corridor' approach. The comparative figures for 2012 have been adjusted accordingly, with a negative impact on equity (group share) as at 1 January 2012 of -2.6 million euros.

The most important change is seen at DEME (accounted for using the equity method) and to a lesser extent at the fully consolidated entities AvH and ABK (subsidiary of Bank J.Van Breda & C°).

7.2. Changes in consolidation scope

The consolidation scope of AvH remained virtually unchanged in the first half of 2013, apart from some small changes in the consolidation percentages of Groupe Flo (+0.01%) and Sipef (+0.07%).

Since AvH and Extensa subscribed to the capital increase of Leasinvest Real Estate for their share, the shareholding percentage of the AvH group remained unchanged at 30.01%.

In the Real Estate, Leisure & Senior Care segment, Anima Care acquired 100% of 'St. James sprl', which owns and operates a retirement home in La Hulpe.

7.3. Seasonality or cyclicality of operations

AvH is active in several segments, each (more or less) cyclically sensitive : dredging & infrastructure, oil & energy markets (DEME, Rent-A-Port), construction (Van Laere), evolution on the stock exchange and interest rates (Delen – Private Bank, JM Finn & Co and Bank J.Van Breda & C°), real estate and interest rates evolution (Extensa & Leasinvest Real Estate), seasonal patterns (Groupe Financière Duval) and evolution of commodity prices (Sipef, Sagar Cements). The income statement of the "Development Capital" segment contains, besides the contribution of the participations (active in widely different businesses exposed to different economic cyclicalities), capital gains(losses) on portfolio and dividends received from entities held in portfolio.

7.5. Evolution of treasury shares

Opening balance 355,500 369,000
Acquisition of treasury shares 30,000 0
Disposal of treasury shares -32,000 -11,500
Ending balance 353,500 357,500

As part of AvH's stock option plan, 32,000 shares were sold in the first half of 2013 following the exercise of an equal number of stock options. In order to hedge current option commitments, AvH also purchased 30,000 treasury shares. The total number of treasury shares held by AvH & subholdings was 353,500 at the end of June 2013.

Ackermans & van Haaren concluded a liquidity contract with Kepler Chevreux to improve the liquidity of the AvH share. This agreement came into effect on 1 July 2013. Kepler Chevreux now trades AvH shares fully independently yet for the account of Ackermans & van Haaren. These transactions are reported on a weekly basis.

7.6. Impairments

In the first six months of 2013, a limited amount in impairments was recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Ackermans & van Haaren did not consider it necessary to recognize any other impairments on its assets in the financial statements as at 30 June 2013.

7.7. Contingent liabilities or contingent assets

The contingent liabilities or assets have not changed significantly compared to the situation at the end of 2012, as described in the annual report.

8. Main risks and uncertainties

For a description of the main risks and uncertainties, please refer to our annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2012. The composition of Ackermans & van Haaren's portfolio changed only slightly during the first half of the year; accordingly, the risks (and the spread of those risks) did not change significantly in relation to the previous year.

The investments that were made during the first half of 2013 were in companies already held in the portfolio of AvH (Hertel, Anima Care, Leasinvest Real Estate). Although this increases the relative weight of those companies within the overall portfolio, the spread of the risks over the various segments has not changed fundamentally.

The presentation of the consolidated balance sheet per segment on page 27 shows how AvH's equity is spread over the various segments.

The sale of the stake in Spano Group in the first half of 2013 served to substantially strengthen the cash position. As at 30 June 2013,

the AvH group has a positive net cash position and, additionally, has sizeable confirmed credit lines with several banks, which limits the risks.

In today's challenging market environment, Ackermans & van Haaren is focusing more than ever on its role as proactive shareholder in the companies in which it has a stake.

For the purposes of reporting on the full financial year 2013, AvH and all the companies included in its portfolio will perform the annually recurring test on the carrying value of its assets, and particularly of the goodwill. This test will take into account the market conditions and the outlook at that moment.

9. Overview of the major related party transactions

No transactions with related parties took place during the first half of 2013 that have any material impact on Ackermans & van Haaren's results.

Furthermore, during the first six months there were no changes in the transactions with affiliated parties as described in the annual report for the 2012 financial year which could have material consequences for Ackermans & van Haaren's financial position or results.

10, Events after balance sheet date

After 30 June 2013, no major events took place which could significantly influence the activities or the financial position of the company.

Auditor's report

Report of the statutory auditor to the shareholders of Ackermans & van Haaren NV on the review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2013 and for the six months then ended.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Ackermans & van Haaren NV (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") as at 30 June 2013 and the related interim condensed consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in consolidated equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended, and explanatory notes, collectively, the "Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements". These statements show a consolidated statement of financial position total of € 6,976 million and a consolidated profit (share of the Group) for the six month period then ended of € 94.8 million. The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as adopted for use in the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" applicable to review engagements. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Unqualified Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2013, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the six month period in accordance with IAS 34.
