PRESS RELEASE
"After an exceptionally strong 2015, the AvH group is holding its ground very well in volatile markets.
DEME increased its order backlog to a record level of more than 3.6 billion euros, which, combined with an investment program in 6 new vessels, permits to look to the future with confidence. CFE (construction and real estate) realized its turnaround with a break-even result, which it should be able to confirm over the full year 2016.
Although the volatile financial markets have an impact on the banks' operating results, both Delen Investments and Bank J.Van Breda & C° continue to enjoy the trust of their customers and to generate substantial inflows of deposits and entrusted funds.
Thanks to the developments on the Tour & Taxis project in Brussels and the Cloche d'Or project in Luxembourg, Extensa should be able to realize its profit projections for 2016-2018."
Jan Suykens, CEO - Chairman of the executive committee
• In financial markets characterized by great uncertainty and volatility, both Bank J.Van Breda & C° and Delen Investments could count on an important inflow of entrusted funds in 1H16. Due to these market circumstances, both banks, in which AvH holds a 78.75% stake, contributed a lower result (47.2 million euros) to AvH's half-year profit.
• AvH's participations in real estate and senior care collectively contributed 8.7 million euros to the group's profit at the end of June 2016 (1H15: -1.9 million euros). Extensa made good progress on its major development projects Tour & Taxis (Brussels) and Cloche d'Or (Luxembourg). AvH strengthened its position in the French retirement home market by increasing its stake in Patrimoine & Santé, which owns the real estate operated by Residalya.

• Unlike in the first half of 2015, when a remeasurement income of 42.1 million euros had to be recognized on the participation in Tour & Taxis, there are no non-recurrent results to be reported in the first half of 2016.
The equity of Ackermans & van Haaren increased to 2,615.3 million euros (78.08 euros per share) compared with 2,607.3 million euros at year-end 2015 (77.84 euros per share). This increase is primarily explained by the profit that AvH realized during the first half of 2016, less the dividend payment of 1.96 euros per share (65.7 million euros total dividend payment) at the beginning of June 2016.
The net cash position amounted to 105.2 million euros at June 30, 2016 (31/12/2015: 76.3 million euros). The net cash position is made up of deposits, cash, financial debts, treasury shares, and the investment portfolio of AvH and fully consolidated subholdings.
The investment and divestment activity at AvH and subholdings was limited during 1H16. Although the stake in Patrimoine & Santé was increased and the interests in Residalya and Patrimoine & Santé were accommodated in a new structure, those transactions did not result in cash movements.
In the first half of 2016, AvH bought no treasury shares to hedge stock option obligations to its staff. During that same period, beneficiaries of the stock option plan exercised options on 13,000 AvH shares. As at June 30, 2016, AvH granted stock options on a total of 338,000 AvH shares. As of that same date, AvH had 344,000 treasury shares in portfolio to hedge the stock option obligations. In addition, 208,146 AvH shares were purchased and 203,594 AvH shares sold in the first six months of 2016 as part of the agreement that AvH had concluded with Kepler Cheuvreux to support the liquidity of the AvH share. That third party acts entirely autonomously in those transactions, which are however carried out on behalf of AvH. These transactions amount to a net purchase of 4,552 AvH shares, putting the total number of treasury shares held as part of this liquidity agreement at 6,684 as at June 30, 2016.
On August 29, 2016, AvH reached an agreement on the acquisition of the 26% minority interest in Sofinim, its Development Capital vehicle, for an amount of 106 million euros.
As was announced earlier, Luc Bertrand was succeeded after the annual general meeting of May 23, 2016, by Jan Suykens as chairman of the executive committee, while Jacques Delen was succeeded by Luc Bertrand as chairman of the board of directors.
DEME's record order backlog, the inflow of new assets at Delen Investments and Bank J.Van Breda & Co , the structural progress in the real estate developments on the Tour & Taxis and Cloche d'Or projects, and the solid cash position allow the board of directors, even in these uncertain times, to look with confidence to the group's future development. Consequently, the board of directors expects the results of the second half of the year to be higher than those of 1H16.

"DEME ended the first six months of 2016 with an order backlog at a new record level of 3,625 million euros. CFE (excluding DEME) achieved a marked improvement in its results and in 1H16 made a positive contribution to AvH's group result."

DEME (AvH 60.40%) realized an economic turnover (including the jointly controlled group companies on a proportional basis) of 803.1 million euros (1H15: 1,218.7 million euros) during the first six months of 2016. On that turnover, a net profit was realized of 54.0 million euros (1H15: 119.8 million euros).
In 1H15, DEME's turnover and profitability attained an exceptionally high level thanks to a number of major projects, such as in Egypt (Suez Canal), Qatar and Australia, which were completed in 2015.
During the first six months of 2016, DEME was actively engaged in Singapore, with works on the Jurong Island Westward Extension (JIWE) and Tuas Terminal Phase 1, in Panama, in Africa, in India and in many places in Europe. GeoSea was able to finish the transport and installation of the monopile foundations for the 54 wind turbines of the German Nordsee One wind farm sooner than expected. In the United Kingdom, the Galloper and Race Bank projects were started up, and will represent a substantial volume of activity in the second half of the year. The fleet occupancy level during the first half of the year was lower pending the start-up of several major projects.
Nevertheless, DEME reported an excellent 24.3% EBITDA margin on the turnover realized in 1H16, thanks in part to favourable results achieved on the completion of a number of projects.
DEME's order backlog increased to a record level of 3,625 million euros at the end of June 2016, compared with 3,185 million euros at year-end 2015. The financial close of the large-scale Merkur wind farm (396 MW, DEME Concessions Wind 12.5%) in Germany has now been confirmed. Geo-Sea will take care of the construction. The

(1) Following the introduction of the new accounting standards IFRS10/IFRS11, group companies jointly controlled by DEME are accounted for using the equity method with effect from January 1, 2014.
(2) In this configuration, the group companies that are jointly controlled by DEME are still proportionally integrated. Although this is not in accordance with the new IFRS10 and IFRS11 accounting standards, it nevertheless gives a more complete picture of the operations and assets/liabilities of those companies. In the equity accounting as applied under (1), the contribution of the group companies is summarized under one single item on the balance sheet and in the income statement.
installation of the offshore foundations is due to begin in August 2017, and completion of the project is scheduled for March 2019. The contract is worth around 650 million euros. DEME has also been given the 10-year maintenance contract following the installation works. At the beginning of the second quarter, DEME Concessions acquired an interest in Tidal Power Scotland Ltd, a tidal energy development company. By taking this step, DEME supports a technology that is ready to evolve from a prototype to an operational tidal turbine.
DEME has also won a number of contracts that are not yet included in the 3,625 million euros order backlog, as the financial close hasn't been reached yet or final permits haven't been obtained for those projects. This is a.o. the case with the 'Hohe See' project in Germany. With the installation of 71 offshore foundations 90 km north of Borkum Island in the German North Sea, this project with a total capacity of 497 MW is the biggest planned offshore wind farm in Germany. DEME and CFE also concluded conditional contracts with the Danish government for the design and construction of the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link, which will be the world's longest (18 km) road and rail tunnel, linking up Denmark and Germany. Those works represent a volume of approximately 700 million euros. Finally, Tideway won a Design & Build contract from DONG Energy to lay cables for Hornsea Project One, the world's largest offshore wind farm. Work on this project will start in 2017 with the engineering route survey, and the last export cable will be laid and protected in mid-2019. All these contracts offer DEME the tangible prospect of a further strengthening of its order backlog.
To execute the substantial order backlog that DEME has accumulated, the investment programme will continue unabated. DEME currently has six new vessels under construction (the self-propelled jack-up vessel Apollo, the multipurpose and cable-laying ship Living Stone, the self-propelled DP2 crane vessel Gulliver, and three hoppers), together representing an investment of approximately 500 million euros. These vessels will be brought into service in 2017-2018. Despite the total investments of 112.6 million euros during the first half of the year (including 32 million euros spent on new constructions), DEME's net debt position increased by only 67.5 million euros to 334.2 million euros.

The turnover of CFE (AvH 60.40%) amounted to 422.5 million euros in the first half of 2016, compared with 472.5 million euros in the same period last year (excluding the contributions of DEME and Rent-A-Port).
The turnover of CFE's Contracting activity reached 400.5 million euros during the first six months of 2016, which is a 20.4% increase on last year. Construction activity in Belgium accounted for just over half of that turnover figure, while CFE Polska and CLE (Luxembourg) also reported a very busy first half-year. All three CFE Contracting segments (Construction, Multitechnics and Rail Infra) made a positive contribution to the group's profit.
The order book of Contracting amounted to 738.8 million euros, compared with

836.3 million euros at year-end 2015. This decrease is the result of market conditions in Belgium and a greater selectivity in the intake of new contracts. CFE Bouw Vlaanderen and CFE Polska signed some major new contracts in July 2016.
Since no substantial real estate sales could be completed during the first six months of 2016, the Real Estate Development segment reported a slightly negative result. This is not representative of the projected result for the whole of 2016. The different development projects in Belgium (Erasmus Gardens - Anderlecht, Ernest - Ixelles, and Oosteroever - Ostend), Luxembourg (Kons) and Poland (Ocean Four - Gdansk) are proceeding according to schedule.
The non-transferred activities of CFE contributed 14.4 million euros to the turnover and reported a loss of 4.3 million euros, a.o. due to the additional losses on the Brussels-South wastewater treatment plant project. This strong decrease in turnover is due to the transfer of the civil engineering operations to DEME as of year-end 2015 and a sharply reduced level of activity in Africa, more specifically in Algeria and Chad. This division's contribution to the result is positively influenced by a capital gain that was realized on the disposal of the stake in Locorail NV (company responsible for financing and maintaining the Liefkenshoek rail tunnel in a PPP). In 1H15, CFE realized a capital gain on the sale of the road-building operations of Van Wellen.
On the subject of the exposure to Chad, which still amounts to approximately 60 million euros, the Chadian government received a proposal for a refinancing of the Grand Hotel in N'Djamena. The Chadian authorities are examining this proposal.
A.A. Van Laere (AvH 100%) realized a turnover in 1H16 of 87.1 million euros, a 4.5% increase on 1H15. Due to some difficult projects, the results are lagging behind for now (1H16: 1.1 million euros, compared with 1.8 million euros in 1H15). Van Laere's order book amounts to 165 million euros.
CFE - Oosteroever - Ostend Rent-A-Port - Dinh Vu - Vietnam
In the first six months, Rent-A-Port (AvH 72.18%) reported a loss of 0.2 million euros, due to lower sales in Vietnam and unrealized foreign exchange losses. Rent-A-Port continues the development and sale of industrial land in Vietman.
At the beginning of July 2016, AvH and CFE increased their stake in Rent-A-Port Energy to 100% by acquiring the management's minority interest in Rent-A-Port Energy. Rent-A-Port Energy owns (direct and indirect) stakes in the still-to-be-developed Rentel (12.5%), Seastar and Mermaid offshore wind farms.
In line with expectations and with the previous year, NMP (AvH 75%) realized a turnover of 7.1 million euros and a net result of 1.1 million euros.
"In financial markets characterized by great uncertainty and volatility, both Bank J.Van Breda & C° and Delen Investments could count on an important inflow of entrusted funds in 1H16."

Delen Private Bank (AvH 78.75%) recorded another solid inflow of new assets during the first six months of the year. Even though the record level of 2015 could not be equalled, the inflow is still strong (75% of the average of the last three years). The outflows remained virtually the same as in 1H15, resulting on balance in a satisfactory net inflow. At JM Finn & Co (UK) there was a limited net outflow of assets under management, while at Oyens & Van Eeghen they remained stable.
The evolution of the total assets under management is also explained by the negative trend on the financial markets (with an average impact of -0.5% on the volumes under management at Delen Private Bank), but primarily by the impact of the depreciation of the pound sterling against the euro, which outweighs the positive market effect on the portfolios at JM Finn & Co (+2.3%).
For the Delen Investments group as a whole, the combination of those effects gives the following evolution of the volumes under management:

| (€ mio) | 1H16 | 2015 |

| Delen Private Bank | 25,588 | 25,555 |
| JM Finn & Co | 9,527 | 10,758 |
| Oyens & Van Eeghen | 567 | 572 |
| Total | 35,681 | 36,885 |
The lower level of assets under management, but especially the reluctance of clients to perform transactions in today's uncertain financial markets and the depreciation of pound sterling against the euro put pressure on gross revenues in 1H16. Nevertheless, Delen Private Bank continues to reinforce its organization (since early 2015 +55 persons including 13 account managers, and 42 to strengthen amongs other things the IT department) and im-

proving its systems and infrastructure. Along with the increased bank taxes, this explains the increasing cost-income ratio to 57.4% (Delen Private Bank 46.1%; JM Finn & Co 88.6%).
The consolidated equity of Delen Investments increased further to 626.4 million euros, giving a very solid Core Tier1 capital ratio of 29.1%.

Lending increased by 3% to 4.1 billion euros.
Despite this volume increase, the interest result was 6% down on 1H15. The lower interest result is explained by the low interest rate, the flattening of the yield curve, and the bank's strategy of prioritizing security (duration 2.6 years) over performance in its investment portfolio. The decrease in reinvestment penalties is also a contributory factor. The net fee income increased by 3%, which is in line with the volume growth.
The 4% cost increase (+1.6 million euros) is almost entirely due to the increase in the bank taxes to 5.1 million euros (+34%). The bank tax reform bill may have an additional impact of 3.3 million euros on the result for the second half of the year. Over the full year 2016, the total bank taxes would then represent a cost of 8.4 million euros, a 70% increase on 2015. The new bank tax penalizes Bank J.Van Breda & C° more than average, since this tax is calculated solely on the basis of the deposits, which constitute almost 100% of its funding, and excludes savings certificates, and even market financing. Excluding the bank tax, the costs increased by only 1%, despite investments in additional account managers and IT. The cost-income ratio stood at 61% compared with 56% at mid-2015.
At 0.2 million euros, provisions for loan losses remained exceptionally low.

Bank J.Van Breda & C° (AvH 78.75%) also delivered another strong commercial performance during the first half of the year in each of its three activities: niche banking for entrepreneurs and liberal professions, ABK bank and Van Breda Car Finance. The commercial volumes increased by 4% from 15.1 billion euros at year-end 2015 to 15.7 billion euros at the end of June 2016. Despite this volume increase, the net profit decreased to 17.8 million euros (-14%) as a result of the pressure on the interest margin and higher bank taxes.
The total client assets increased by 4% to 11.6 billion euros in the first half of the year (end of December 2015: 11.1 billion euros).
"In 1H16, the real estate (management and development) and senior care participations contributed 8.7 million euros to the group's profit."

Leasinvest Real Estate (AvH 30.01%) confirmed the positive expectations in the first half of the year. LRE realized a higher net result (group share) of 15.2 million euros (13.4 million euros at 30/06/2015).
At the end of April, a usufruct agreement for a term of 21 years was concluded with the European Parliament for the office building Montoyer 63 in Brussels that will be redeveloped. At the end of the second quarter, LRE finalized the sale of the Royal20 office building in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for an amount of 62.5 million euros (excluding VAT).
As a result, the fair value of the consolidated real estate portfolio, including project developments, amounted to 814 million euros (compared with 869 million euros at yearend 2015) at the end of June 2016. The overall real estate portfolio comprises 45% retail (2015: 42%), 39% offices (2015: 42%), and 16% logistics (2015: 16%).
The rental income increased by 13% to 28.4 million euros compared with the end of June 2015, thanks to the acquisition of the Royal Warehouse (T&T) at the end of 2015. The average duration of the portfolio was 4.5 years. The occupancy rate (1H16: 97.5%, 2015: 95.8%) and the rental yield calculated on the fair value (1H16: 6.95%, 2015: 6.88%) also increased in relation to the previous year, due among other things to the full letting of the Monnet building following its renovation in 2015.

As at 30/06/2016, the equity (group share) stood at 340 million euros (end of 2015: 362 million euros). The debt ratio decreased to 56.68% (2015: 58.03%) thanks to the realized sales of the Royal20 building and Zeutestraat Mechelen.

Extensa (AvH 100%) acquired the former customs office building (6,511 m² above ground) on the Tour & Taxis site with a view to its redevelopment in line with the other historic buildings on the site. Sales of the residential development progressed well: so far, of the 115 apartments, 109 provisional sales agreements have been signed, of which 57 deeds, even as the building is still under construction. Construction work on the impressive Herman Teirlinck building is also progressing according to schedule.
In Luxembourg, apartments in the Cloche d'Or project are also selling very well, though at this stage with only a limited impact on the results, as construction is still in the early stages. Construction work has begun on the office building (30,000 m²) that has been pre-let to Deloitte Luxembourg on a long-term lease.
A comparison of the results of Extensa must take into account the (non-recurrent) remeasurement income of 42.1 million euros which had to be recognized in the first half of 2015 following the acquisition of exclusive control over the Tour & Taxis site.
Anima Care (AvH 92.5%) realized a 20% turnover increase in the first half of 2016 to 26.4 million euros (1H15: 21.9 million euros), primarily as a result of gradually bringing into use the Kasterlee residence from the spring of 2015 and the acquisition of Home Scheut in Anderlecht at the end of 2015. The EBITDAR amounted to 6.6 million euros, and the net result increased from 0.3 million euros to 1.8 million euros over the same period.
At June 30, 2016, Anima Care had 1,127 retirement home beds, 37 convalescent home beds and 183 service flats in operation, spread over 12 residential care centres (6 in Flanders, 2 in Brussels, 4 in Wallonia).
In accordance with the agreements that were concluded with Eric Duval, AvH reduced its stake in Holding Groupe Duval from 37.8% (at year-end 2015) to 21.8% by swapping it for an additional 25% participation in the real estate company Patrimoine & Santé (from 22.5% at year-end 2015 to 47.5%).
The interests of AvH, CEO Hervé Hardy and other management members in Residalya and Patrimoine & Santé were then brought together in a new structure, HPA, of which AvH owns 70.9%. HPA in turn owns 100% of Residalya, which operates 2,319 retirement home beds, spread over 30 residences in France, and 73.7% of Patrimoine & Santé, which owns most of the residences that are operated by Residalya.
By bringing Residalya and Patrimoine & Santé together under one management and a joint ownership structure, a solid basis has been laid for further development according to a model that AvH has supported at Anima Care in Belgium for a number of years now.
In the first six months of 2016, HPA realized a turnover of 50.7 million euros, an EBITDAR of 10.8 million euros, and a net result of 0.1 million euros.

Sipef (AvH 27.65%) realized a 3% increase in the total palm oil production to 139,418 tonnes in 1H16, primarily thanks to the strong production increases at new plantations in the UMW project (Sumatra) and Papua New Guinea, which amply offset the slowing production at the mature plantations in North Sumatra as a result of drought in 2015.
The market prices for palm oil experienced wide fluctuations, with a low of USD 560/ tonne in January and a high of USD 725/ tonne in April.
The increased palm oil volumes were sold at on average lower prices than in 1H15. The sharp decrease in rubber prices even caused a 36% decrease in rubber turnover. The net result after six months amounted to 10.9 million USD, which is 21% down on 1H15.

Nevertheless, given the improving production outlook for the second half of the year and the sales already achieved, Sipef is more positive about the recurring profit for 2016, which should surpass that of last year.

Although the production volumes at Sagar Cements (AvH 18.9%) in 2Q16 were slightly lower than in the first quarter, they still remain at a high level. The net result and the contribution to AvH's group results turns out lower due to the impact of lower market prices.
Sagar Cements further increased its production capacity by acquiring a 181,500 tonnes grinding unit in Andra Pradesh.
Sagar Cements expects that government investment in infrastructure, the economic recovery and a delay in new capacity coming onto the market will support further growth.
Telemond Group (AvH 50%) was confronted with a noticeable pressure on turnover as a result of the slowdown in investments by its customers. The turnover decreased to 35.7 million euros, compared with 39.4 million euros in the same period last year. Nevertheless, thanks to operational cost savings the group reports a net profit of 0.9 million euros (1H15: loss of 0.5 million euros).
"Several participations in the 'Development Capital' segment were able to realize a strong increase in results. This positive trend, however, is entirely offset by the losses incurred at Groupe Flo and CKT Offshore."

Corelio (Sofinim 25.6%): The newspapers of the Mediahuis group held up very well in their readership market, while the advertising revenues also reported a slight increase, particularly in the first quarter of 2016.
Manuchar (Sofinim 30%), active worldwide in the trading and distribution of mainly chemicals and steel, was able to report a solid improvement in results. This was also the case for Turbo's Hoet Groep (Sofinim 50%), which is active in the sale, maintenance, leasing and renting of trucks in Belgium, France and Eastern Europe.
Groupe Flo (GIB 47.13%) continues to experience the effects of difficult market conditions in the French restaurant business. The impact of the terrorist attacks and the state of emergency that was declared led to a sharp decline in restaurant visits, particularly in Paris. On a like-for-like basis, the turnover of Hippopotamus was 4.6% down on 1H15, while for the Brasseries the decrease was as much as 8.6%. This resulted in a decrease in turnover to 137.4 million euros in the first half of 2016 (1H15: 148.2 million euros). Good cost control allowed Groupe Flo to limit the decrease in the EBITDA to 4.9 million euros, although this was not enough to avert a substantial net loss of 16.8 million euros (1H15: -10.8 million euros).
Groupe Flo signed an agreement in June 2016 with its banks and with principal shareholder Financière Flo (AvH 33%) on the financing of Groupe Flo's strategic plan. Financière Flo has engaged itself to participate in a public capital increase of Groupe Flo to the amount of approximately 40 million euros, which will take place before June 30, 2017, by contributing its shareholder loans (approximately 27 million euros) and standing surety for the balance of this transaction.
CKT Offshore (Sofinim 47.5%), which specializes in the design, construction and maintenance of modular accommodation that is used primarily in the oil and gas industry, is suffering from the sharp decline in investments in that sector and is confronted with losses on the finalization of some major orders. In light of the strong decrease in turnover, CKT Offshore carried out restructuring operations involving the closure of its branch in the UK and a strong reduction in its workforce in the Netherlands.

The recognition at fair value of financial assets available for sale yields an unrealized loss of 1.7 million euros, resulting from the accounting revaluation (since they are unrealized capital gains or losses) of financial assets which at June 30, 2016 are still in portfolio, but are available for sale. The negative value is explained by the decrease in unrealized capital gains on AvH's investment portfolio during 1H2016, offset by the limited increase in unrealized capital gains on the investments of Leasinvest Real Estate (primarily the Retail Estates shares), Delen Investments and Bank J.Van Breda & C°. Hedging reserves arise from fluctuations in the fair value of hedging instruments used by group companies to hedge against certain risks. Several group companies have hedged against a rise in interest rates.
As a result of a further decrease in interest rates during the first six months of 2016, the fair value of those hedging instruments has decreased by 19.4 million euros, primarily at Leasinvest Real Estate (-15.9 million euros) and DEME.
Translation differences arise from fluctuations in the exchange rates of group companies that report in foreign currencies. During the first half of 2016, the negative fluctuations (mainly USD, GBP and INR) outweighed the positive fluctuations, amounting to -3.2 million euros in total.
With the introduction of the amended IAS 19 accounting standard in 2013, the actuarial gains and losses on certain pension plans are recognized directly in the other comprehensive income. The actuarial losses that were recognized on Hertel's pension liabilities were derecognized in the course of 2015 at the time of the sale.

The breakdown of the consolidated balance sheet by segment is shown on page 29-30 of this report. This reveals that the full consolidation of Bank J.Van Breda & C° (Private Banking segment) has a significant impact on both the balance sheet total and the balance sheet structure of AvH. Bank J.Van Breda & C° contributes 4,917.3 million euros to the balance sheet total of 12,522.3 million euros, and although this bank is solidly capitalized with a Core Tier1 ratio of 14.4%, its balance sheet ratios, as explained by the nature of its activity, are different from those of the other companies in the consolidation scope. To improve the readability of the consolidated balance sheet, certain items from the balance sheet of Bank J.Van Breda & C° have been summarized in the consolidated balance sheet.

For comments on the unrealized results, see Note 2 on page 20 of this report.
On the 1st of June 2016, AvH paid a dividend of 1.96 euros per share.
In the first half of 2016, AvH bought no treasury shares to hedge stock option obligations to its staff. During that same period, beneficiaries of the stock option plan exercised options on 13,000 AvH shares. As at 30 June 2016, AvH had granted options on a total of 338,000 AvH shares. To hedge that obligation, AvH had a total 344,000 treasury shares in portfolio on that same date. In addition, 208,146 AvH shares were purchased and 203,594 AvH shares sold in the first six months of 2016 as part of the agreement that AvH has concluded with Kepler Cheuvreux to support the liquidity of the AvH share. Kepler Cheuvreux acts entirely autonomously in those transactions, but as they are carried out on behalf of AvH, the net purchase of 4,552 AvH shares in this context has an impact on AvH's equity. This net purchase of 4,552 shares during 1H2016 puts the total number of shares held by AvH as part of this liquidity agreement at 6,684.
The item "Other changes" in equity includes a.o. the eliminations of results on sales of treasury shares and the impact of the measurement of the purchase obligation resting on certain shares.

The revenue for the first half of 2016 was 397.0 million euros down on the previous year. In 1H2016, DEME realized a turnover of 802.1 million euros (IFRS presentation), which is 369.0 million euros less than at June 30, 2015. In that respect, it should be pointed out that DEME's first six months of 2015 were characterized by an exceptionally high fleet occupancy thanks to, among others, the works on the Suez Canal. At CFE (excluding the contribution of DEME, RAP, RAP Energy), too, the turnover was lower than in the first half of 2015 (-50.0 million euros), as the effect of cutting back operations in Africa (Chad, Algeria) and the transfer of the civil engineering operations to DEME end of 2015 outweighed the positive turnover trend in CFE's Contracting division.
The revenue in the real estate and senior care segment increased significantly (+55.4 million euros) as a result of the expanding activities of Anima Care and HPA (senior care in Belgium and France respectively) and the successful launch of the commercialization of the residential property developments on the Tour & Taxis (Brussels) and Cloche d'Or projects in Luxembourg.
Despite increased loan volumes, the interest income at Bank J.Van Breda & C° was down on the first half of 2016 as a result of the low interest rate.
The trend in operating expenses should be seen in conjunction with the aforementioned trend in revenue.
The profit from assets/liabilities measured at fair value was limited to 1.4 million euros in 1H2016 as a result of the increased value of Extensa's real estate portfolio, which was partly offset by the opposite trend at Leasinvest Real Estate (-3.7 million euros). The big difference with 1H2015 is explained by the remeasurement (60.8 million euros before tax effects) that had to be recognized at the time following the acquisition of full control over the Tour & Taxis site.
During the first six months of 2016, CFE realized a capital gain on the disposal of its stake in Locorail, the company responsible for maintaining and financing the Liefkenshoek rail tunnel. On June 30, 2016, Leasinvest Real Estate finalized the previously announced sale of the new office building Royal20 in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for 62.5 million euros and realized a capital gain on that transaction, on top of the profit that was recognized in previous periods through fair value adjustments in profit and loss.
The profit (loss) contribution from equity accounted companies remains an important component of the result (48.9 million euros in 1H2016, compared with 48.1 million euros in 1H2015), since it comprises the contributions from the equity accounted participations.
The overall tax expense for 1H2016 is lower than last year, which is in line with the development of the profit before taxes. It should be pointed out that as the contributions from the equity accounted companies are summarized under one single item (after tax), the reported tax expense is lower than the economic tax expense.

The balance sheet total of AvH increased from 12,253.0 million euros at year-end 2015 to 12,522.3 million euros at 30/6/2016. This increase is to be found primarily in the 'Private Banking' segment as a result of increased lending and deposits at Bank J.Van Breda & C°, and in the 'Real Estate & Senior Care' segment, where the main factors are the expansion of the retirement home activities of Anima Care and Residalya, and especially the full consolidation of the real estate of Patrimoine & Santé. The contribution of Leasinvest Real Estate to the balance sheet total has decreased as a result of sales of assets from its real estate portfolio during the first six months of 2016.
The increase in intangible assets, tangible assets and goodwill is for the most part the result of AvH's additional investments in senior care. Anima Care and Residalya expanded their activities in Belgium and France respectively, and with the full consolidation, as of 2016, of the stake in Patrimoine & Santé (through HPA, the new company controlling Residalya and Patrimoine & Santé), 210.0 million euros in additional real estate assets have been included in the consolidation scope. Patrimoine & Santé owns real estate (retirement homes) that is operated by Residalya. The item 'Investment property', however, decreased by 25.6 million euros following the sale of assets by Leasinvest Real Estate such as the Royal20 office building in Luxembourg and the building Zeutestraat in Mechelen.
The book value of equity accounted companies increased by 38.9 million euros as a result of an increase in the equity of those group companies. The total equity method's value (1,176.2 million euros) includes an amount of 90.7 million euros goodwill. It should also be pointed out that the balance sheet of Delen Investments, an equity accounted group company, contains an item 'Clients' of 237.9 million euros.
The full consolidation of the interest in Bank J.Van Breda & C° and the large balance sheet total of that company compared with many other group companies has a major impact on the presentation of the consolidated balance sheet. A number of items from the balance sheet of Bank J.Van Breda & C° are summarized under separate items for distinction purposes. Increased lending at Bank J.Van Breda & C° (127.3 million euros) and the liquidity buffer held with the central banks resulted in an increase in short and long-term receivables to a total amount of 230.3 million euros.
The item 'Investments' contains, besides the shares held in Retail Estates by Leasinvest Real Estate, a limited number of non-consolidated participations of AvH.
The item 'Available for sale financial assets' contains the investment portfolio held by Bank J.Van Breda & C°, along with the investment portfolio of Sofinim and AvH respectively.
The long-term financial debts in 'Marine Engineering & Infrastructure' consist of bank loans and bonds (nominal amount of 200 million euros at DEME and 100 million euros at CFE). In the 'Real Estate & Senior Care' segment, most of the assets of Extensa, Leasinvest Real Estate, Anima Care and HPA are financed by bank loans and/or finance leases. Only Leasinvest Real Estate and, to a lesser extent, HPA also arranged this in part through bonds.
The deposits which Bank J.Van Breda & C° receives from its clients increased by a total of 232.3 million euros. This growth, however, is situated entirely in the short term.Term deposits of more than one year decrease compared with year-end 2015.

The decrease in the operating profits of DEME and Bank J.Van Breda during 1H2016, combined with a dividend payment by Delen Investments that will only take place in 2H2016, led to a 94.3 million euro decrease in cash flow during the first six months of 2016. However, thanks to a much smaller increase in working capital compared to 1H2015 at DEME and CFE (in line with lower sales evolution) and due to the slower growth of lending (than deposits) at Bank J. Van Breda & C °, the operating cash flow improves with 59.8 million.
The fully consolidated companies of the group invested 426.7 million euros in 1H2016 (compared with 485.2 million euros in 1H2015). DEME again invested substantial amounts in the maintenance and expansion of its fleet, albeit to a lesser extent than in 1H2015. Bank J.Van Breda & C° acquired 225.0 million euros worth of investments, but disposed of 250.2 million euros worth during the same period.
The acquisition of investment property in the 'Real Estate & Senior Care' segment concerns the works on the Herman Teirlinck building on the Tour & Taxis site and the acquisition of the former Customs office building. In the French retirement home sector, AvH increased its stake in Patrimoine & Santé from 22.5% to 47.5%, while HPA acquired several more operations.
The lower investment cash flow in combination with higher divestments resulted, on balance, in a net investment cash flow of -55.3 million euros (1H2015: -173.3 million euros). The divestments involved, among other things, the sale of the stake in and financing of Locorail (by CFE), the sale by Leasinvest Real Estate of the redeveloped office building Royal20 in Luxembourg and the sale (swap) of a 16% interest in Holding Groupe Duval for shares in Patrimoine & Santé.
The cash flow from financial activities in 1H2016 was -190.1 million euros, compared with -325.9 million euros in 1H2015. Unlike in the first half of 2015, when DEME's particularly strong cash flow generation allowed it to lower financial debts, this was not the case in 1H2016. In contrast, Leasinvest Real Estate was able to diminish its total debt position following the sale of the Royal20 building in Luxembourg. This helped considerably to reduce the financial debts in the 'Real Estate & Senior Care' segment following Extensa's substantial investments on the Tour & Taxis and Cloche d'Or sites in 2015 and the debt financing that this involved.

(1) Based on number of shares issued, adjusted for treasury shares in portfolio.
In the first half of 2016, AvH bought no treasury shares to hedge stock option obligations to its staff. During that same period, beneficiaries of the stock option plan exercised options on 13,000 AvH shares. As at 30 June 2016, AvH had granted options on a total of 338,000 AvH shares. To hedge that obligation, AvH had a total 344,000 treasury shares in portfolio on that same date.
In addition, 208,146 AvH shares were purchased and 203,594 AvH shares sold in the first six months of 2016 as part of the agreement that AvH has concluded with Kepler Cheuvreux to support the liquidity of the AvH share. Kepler Cheuvreux acts entirely autonomously in those transactions, but as they are carried out on behalf of AvH, the net purchase of 4,552 AvH shares in this context has an impact on AvH's equity. This net purchase of 4,552 shares during 1H2016 puts the total number of shares held by AvH as part of this liquidity agreement at 6,684.

During the first six months of 2016, AVH and the fully consolidated group companies recognized no significant impairments.
The results of CKT Offshore and Groupe Flo showed a negative trend during the first six months of 2016. In the case of CKT Offshore, part of the loss recognized by AvH is the result of a cautious valuation of certain balance sheet items.
Also the results of Groupe Flo results have negatively evolved. As far as Groupe Flo is concerned, the management, the board of directors and the statutory auditor agree that, for the time being, recognizing an impairment would be premature due to the exceptional circumstances in the restaurant business in Paris (affected by the terrorist attacks and the state of emergency). Moreover, the restructuring measures that were taken in this and previous periods take some time to have an effect.
At its meeting of August 25, 2016, the board of directors of CFE discussed its exposure to the Chadian government, which still amounts to approximately 60 million euros. On the basis of the proposal that the Chadian authorities received for a refinancing of the Grand Hotel in N'Djamena and which the Chadian government is currently examining, the board of directors of CFE decided not to recognize an impairment on this exposure.
AvH derecognized 1.0 million euros (group share 0.6 million euros) worth of contingent liabilities relating to its stake in CFE, since those contingent liabilities were now reported in CFE's own financial statements.
For a description of the main risks and uncertainties, please refer to our annual report for the financial year ended 31/12/2015. 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 have not changed fundamentally in relation to the situation at the end of the previous year.
Several group companies of AvH (such as DEME, CFE, Rent-A-Port, Sipef, Telemond, Manuchar, Turbo's Hoet Groep, Agidens, Atenor,...) are also internationally active and are therefore exposed to related political and credit risks. In this context, reference is also made to section 7.6 Impairments with regard to CFE's exposure to the risk of non-payment in Chad.
When disposing of participating interests and/or activities, AvH itself and its subsidiaries are regularly required to provide certain warranties and representations. Sofinim (AvH 74%) sold its stake in a portfolio company in 2015. The sale agreement contains the usual warranties and representations. The buyer has filed a claim with the sellers, including Sofinim, for compensation on the grounds of alleged breaches of guarantees and sureties, which are contractually limited to a total amount of 30 million euros for all sellers collectively (Sofinim share: 14,3 million euros. The sellers believe that the claims are unfounded and oppose those demands. Legal proceedings have been instituted.
In the first half of 2016, AvH strengthened its investments in senior care in France by increasing its stake in Patrimoine & Santé, a company owning real estate that is operated by Residalya. Since AvH was already a shareholder in 2015 (with 22.5%), and before that was already familiar with the assets of Patrimoine & Santé as shareholder of Residalya and Holding Groupe Duval respectively, this additional investment does not entail a significant change in the risk profile.
Several group companies of AvH (such as DEME, CFE, Van Laere, CKT Offshore) are actively involved in the execution of projects. This always entails a certain operational risk, but also means that certain estimates of profitability need to be made at the end of such a project. This is inherent in such activity, as is the risk of disagreements with customers over divergent costs or changes in execution and the collection of these receivables.
As regards the risk of value adjustments on assets, reference is made to section 7.6 Impairments.
In the current market context, AvH is focusing more than ever on its role as proactive shareholder in the companies in which it has a stake. By participating in risk committees, audit committees, technical committees etc. at DEME, CFE, Van Laere and Rent-A-Port, AvH specifically monitors the risks in its contracting division from a very early stage.
No transactions with related parties took place during the first half of 2016 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 2015 financial year which could have material consequences for Ackermans & van Haaren's financial position or results.
On August 29, 2016, AvH reached an agreement on the acquisition of the 26% minority interest in Sofinim, its Development Capital vehicle, for an amount of 106 million euros.
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 2016 and for the 6 month period then ended.
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 2016 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements 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 12,522 million euros and a consolidated profit (share of the group) for the 6 month period then ended of 84,7 million euros. Management 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.
We conducted our review in accordance 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.
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 2016, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the 6 month period then ended in accordance with IAS 34.
