1. Summary of the activities of the 2018/2019 financial year

2018/2019 marks a strategic pivotal year for Aedifica. Over the course of the financial year, a record amount of more than €910 million in investments were carried out and announced, significantly expanding the Group's portfolio while also entering a fourth European market. In addition, non-strategic activities were phased out, making Aedifica a 100 % pure play investor in European healthcare real estate at the end of the financial year. Moreover, in May 2019, Aedifica completed the largest ever capital increase in the Belgian REIT sector, allowing the Group to maintain its pace of growth. All these efforts allowed Aedifica to establish itself in the past financial year as a leader in the European listed real estate sector.

AEDIFICA'S PURE-PLAY STRATEGY

Late 2015, Aedifica kicked off its strategic transformation into a pure play investor in European healthcare real estate by launching the baseline 'housing with care'. Now, less than four years later, the Group has achieved its pure play ambitions through the divestment of the non-strategic parts of its portfolio.

Over the course of the financial year, Aedifica sold in two phases 75 % of the shares in Immobe NV/SA, the company in which the Group has contributed its 'apartment buildings' branch activities. In June 2019, Aedifica completed its pure play strategy following the disposal of the hotel portfolio. The portfolio now includes only healthcare real estate, allowing Aedifica to focus more than ever on the core business in which the Group has developed many years of experience.

EUROPEAN EXPANSION

Aedifica's European pure play ambitions were also evidenced by the investments that were carried out and announced in 2018/2019. The Group's international expansion continued at full strength with the acquisition and completion of more than 140 healthcare real estate sites, not only in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, where Aedifica was the largest investor in healthcare real estate for the second year in a row in 2018 (according to a study by CBRE), but also in a fourth market.

In February 2019, the Group entered a fourth European market through the acquisition of a healthcare real estate portfolio of 90 sites in the United Kingdom, Aedifica's largest acquisition to date. This portfolio includes 14 new operators, substantially improving tenant diversification and strengthening Aedifica's exceptional 21-year WAULT.

All of Aedifica's investments in its four markets increased the real estate portfolio during 2018/2019 to 261 sites with a capacity for more than 19,000 residents. The fair value of marketable investment properties including assets classified as held for sale* increased by €564 million (+33 %), reaching €2,270 million (€1,705 million at the beginning of the period). In addition, on 30 June 2019, the Group had a total committed budget for development projects of approx. €428 million (see Appendix 4). These projects are already pre-let. Taking into account the fair value of the investment properties and the development projects that will be completed over a period of three years, Aedifica's total portfolio will reach the € 2.7 billion mark.

4 September 2019 – after closing of markets Under embargo until 17:40 CET

NEW RESOURCES FOR FURTHER GROWTH

In addition to the abovementioned investments, in May 2019, Aedifica strengthened its equity by way of a public capital increase of €418 million. This capital increase, combined with the divestment of nonstrategic segments, significantly reduced the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio to 37.2 % at 30 June 2019 (compared to 55.5 % at 31 March 2019), thus providing the Group with sufficient financial resources to continue its growth rhythm. In addition, Aedifica established new long-term financing arrangements for a total amount of €200 million over the course of the financial year.

Aedifica' growth strategy continues to inspire market confidence, as reflected in the evolution of the share price, which increased from €78.10 (30 June 2018) to €83.90 (30 June 2019) during the financial year and even reached a record high of €105.80 during the summer months. Taking the stock price on 30 June 2019 as a baseline, the Aedifica share trades at a premium of 39.5 % to the net asset value per share excluding changes in fair value of hedging instruments*, or a premium of 44.4 % to the net asset value per share.

EXCELLENT RESULTS

In addition to its investments and growth, Aedifica also strives for optimal management of its real estate portfolio. The Group's portfolio provides for excellent rental incomes (+29 %). The EPRA Earnings* increased by 24 %, reaching €72.1 million (30 June 2018: €58.4 million), i.e. €3.74 per share (30 June 2018: €3.25 per share, an increase of 15 %). Aedifica's total profit amounts to €123 million (30 June 2018: €72 million).

Aedifica owes its excellent results to the enthusiasm, competence and commitment of its staff. The Board of Directors would therefore like to offer its sincere congratulations and thanks to the Aedifica team for their contribution to the development of the Group.

Taking into account these results, Aedifica's Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting of 22 October 2019 a gross dividend of €2.80 per share (subject to a reduced withholding tax rate of 15 %), an increase of 12 % compared to the prior year dividend distribution. The dividend will be split between two coupons (coupon No. 21 amounts to €2.38 and has already been detached, coupon No. 22 amounts to €0.42).

FUTURE GROWTH

Over the past financial year, Aedifica has demonstrated its ability to meet its growth ambitions and in 2019/2020, the Group intends to continue on its path, pursuing continued growth. Several new investment opportunities are being analysed. Even without taking into account new investments, the future growth of the Group is assured given its extensive pipeline of investment projects. This combination of new investments and existing commitments concerning the acquisition, renovation, expansion, redevelopment and construction of numerous sites allows Aedifica to maintain a portfolio of high-quality buildings that generate attractive net yields and to further anchor itself as a pure play investor in European healthcare real estate.

In the 2019/2020 financial year, the EPRA Earnings* is expected to increase to €87 million or €3.55 per share, taking into account the larger number of shares. The Board of Directors expects a gross dividend €3.00 per share, an increase of 7 %.

- £450 million investment in the United Kingdom

On 1 February 2019, Aedifica acquired a portfolio of 90 healthcare sites2 , adding the United Kingdom as the fourth country in its portfolio. The portfolio offers good geographical diversification and has a total capacity for more than 5,700 residents. The portfolio also offers the potential for further improvement through ongoing and identified extension and upgrade projects. The contractual value of the portfolio, which was acquired at a discount of approx. 5 % as compared to the independently appraised fair value of the buildings, amounts to approx. £450 million. The leases in this portfolio, which are in place with a diversified tenant base of 14 well-established operators, are inflation-linked triple net leases with a weighted average unexpired lease term of more than 22 years. The initial gross yield amounts to approx. 7 %. Aedifica will manage and expand its UK portfolio with the support of Layland Walker, that has been providing portfolio management services for this portfolio during the past five years.

2.3. Disposals

- Sale of the stake in Immobe NV/SA

As previously announced3 , Aedifica transferred its 'apartment buildings' branch of activities into Immobe NV/SA. On 12 July 2018, Aedifica and Primonial European Residential Fund (PERF) signed the agreement, which provides for the sale of 75 % of the shares in Immobe NV/SA in two phases. The first phase was completed on 31 October 2018, comprising the sale of 50 % of the shares (minus one share). The second phase of the share sale was carried out on 27 March 2019. Aedifica now holds only 25 % of the shares (minus one share) in Immobe NV/SA. At the same time as the change of control, Immobe's status was changed from an institutional regulated real estate company (IRREC) to a specialised real estate investment fund (SREIF). As a result of this transaction, Immobe is no longer a perimeter company and is consolidated using the equity method.

- Disposal of Aedifica's hotel portfolio

At the end of the financial year, Aedifica sold its Belgian hotel portfolio. On 4 April 2019, Aedifica accepted a binding offer from an international investor (Atream), after which the sale was finalised on 14 June 2019. The sale price of the hotel portfolio is in line with the fair value of the buildings. As of 30 June 2019, following the sale of the hotels, Aedifica's real estate portfolio consists exclusively of healthcare properties.

- Disposal of 22 assisted-living apartments in Aarschot

On 17 December 2018, the 22 remaining assisted-living apartments located at the Residentie Poortvelden site in Aarschot were sold for approx. €4.1 million.

2.4. Management of financial resources

Financial debts

During the 2018/2019 financial year, Aedifica established new long-term financing arrangements for a total amount of €200 million that will mature between 2023 and 2025, of which €55 million are refinanced credit lines that were due to mature in 2018 and 2019.

In order to finance the acquisition of the healthcare portfolio in the United Kingdom (see section 2.1 above), Aedifica established a bridge facility in December 2018, which was used on 31 January 2019. This bridge facility has a maturity of 12 months and comprises two tranches of €180 million and £150 million, respectively. On 8 May 2019, the tranche in Euro was repaid with the proceeds of the capital increase.

As a result, almost €550 million in financing arrangements were established or renegotiated during the 2018/2019 financial year.

At the end of June 2019, the amount of the treasury notes programme, which was launched in June 2018, was increased from €150 million to €300 million. This amount includes €225 million for notes with a term of less than one year (previously €100 million) and €75 million for notes with a term of more than one year (previously €50 million). The short-term treasury notes are fully hedged by the available funds on confirmed long-term credit lines. In December 2018, within the framework of the long-term treasury notes programme, Aedifica completed a private placement of €15 million with a maturity of 10 years at a fixed interest rate of 2.176%.

Equity

- Optional dividend 2017/2018

On 23 October 2018, Aedifica's Board of Directors decided to offer shareholders the possibility to contribute their 2017/2018 net dividend claim in the capital of the Company in exchange for new shares. Shareholders were given the option to subscribe for one new share at an issue price of €72.25 in exchange for 34 no. 19 coupons (valued at €2.125 net each). Aedifica's shareholders chose for approx. 45 % of their shares for a contribution of their net dividend claim in exchange for new shares, instead of dividend in cash. This resulted in a capital increase of approx. €17 million (including share premium) through the issuance of 240,597 new shares.

- Capital increase of €418 million

On 24 April 2019, Aedifica launched a public offering of new shares within the framework of a capital increase in cash within the authorised capital with priority allocation rights in a gross amount of €418 million. On 7 May 2019, the Company issued 6,147,142 new shares at an issue price of €68 per share, i.e. €418,005,656 (including share premium). These new shares were issued with coupon no. 22 attached and are entitled to a pro rata temporis dividend as from 7 May 2019. Within the framework of this transaction, coupon no. 21, representing the right to the pro rata temporis dividend over the current financial year for the period from 1 July 2018 to 6 May 2019 inclusive, was detached on 24 April 2019 after the closing of the markets. Following this transaction, the total number of Aedifica shares amounts to 24,588,568 and the share capital amounts to €648,837,816.39.

4. Summary of the consolidated financial statements of 30 June 2019

4.1. Portfolio as of 30 June 2019

During the 2018/2019 financial year (1 July 2018 – 30 June 2019), Aedifica increased its portfolio of marketable investment properties including assets classified as held for sale* by €564 million, from a fair value of €1,705 million to €2,270 million (€2,321 million for the investment properties including assets classified as held for sale* and development projects). This 33 % growth comes mainly from net acquisitions (see section 2.1 above), completion of development projects (see section 2.2 above) and changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties recognised in income (+€76.4 million, or +3.4 %).

As of 30 June 2019, Aedifica's healthcare real estate portfolio has 261 marketable investment properties including assets classified as held for sale*, with a capacity for more than 19,000 residents and a total surface area of approx. 1,198,000 m².

The geographical breakdown is as follows (in terms of fair value):

  • - 45 % in Belgium, of which:
    • - 32 % in Flanders;
      • - 6 % in Brussels;
      • - 7 % in Wallonia;
  • - 23% in the United Kingdom;
  • - 17 % in Germany;
  • - 15 % in the Netherlands.

The overall occupancy rate4 of the total portfolio reached 100 % as of 30 June2019.

The weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) for all buildings in the Company's portfolio is 21 years. This increase compared to the WAULT as of 30 June 2018 (20 years) is explained by the acquisition of the healthcare real estate portfolio in the United Kingdom, which has a WAULT of 22 years.

°° Based on the fair value (re-assessed every three months, increased with the goodwill and the furniture for the furnished apartments). In the healthcare real estate segment, the gross yield and the net yield are generally equal ('triple net' contracts), with the operating charges, the maintenance costs and the rents on empty spaces related to the operations generally being, in Belgium, the United Kingdom and (often) the Netherlands, supported by the operator (the same applies for hotel lease contracts). In Germany (and the Netherlands, in some cases), the net yield is generally lower than the gross yield, with certain charges remaining at the responsibility of the owner, such as the repair and maintenance of the roof, structure and facades of the building ('double net' contacts).

The consolidated turnover (consolidated rental income) for the year amounts to €118.4 million, an increase of 29 % as compared to the prior year.

Changes in total consolidated rental income (+€26.7 million, i.e. +29.1 % as compared to the same period of the previous financial year overall or +1.4 % on a like-for-like basis*) are presented below by segment:

  • - healthcare real estate: +€30.3 million, i.e. +39.3 % (or +1.4 % on a like-for-like basis*);
  • - apartment buildings: -€2.7 million, i.e. -25.8 %;
  • - hotels: -€0.9 million, i.e. -17.3 %.

5 The income statement covers the 12-month period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019. Acquisitions are accounted for on the date of the effective transfer of control. Therefore, these operations present different impacts on the income statement, depending on whether they took place at the beginning, during, or at the end of the period.

4 September 2019 – after closing of markets Under embargo until 17:40 CET

Rental income of the apartment buildings is included in the consolidated income statement until the end of March 2019. As a result of the sale of 75% of the participation in Immobe NV/SA, the remaining participation has been consolidated according to the equity method since 31 March 2019 and the rental income is no longer included in the consolidated income statement.

As a result of the sale of the hotel portfolio, rental income of the hotels is no longer included in Aedifica's consolidation as of 14 June 2019.

After deducting rental-related charges, the net rental income for the year ended 30 June 2019 amounts to €118.4 million (+29 % as compared to 30 June 2018).

The property result is €117.6 million (30 June 2018: €90.7 million). This result, less other direct costs, provides a property operating result of €111.9 million (30 June 2018: €86.1 million), which represents an operating margin* of 94.6 % (30 June 2018: 94 %).

After deducting overheads of €14.7 million (30 June 2018: €11.0 million) and taking into account other operating income and charges of -€0.1 million (30 June 2018: +€2.2 million), the operating result before result on portfolio has increased by 26 % to reach €97.1 million (30 June 2018: €77.3 million). This result represents an EBIT margin* of 82 % (30 June 2018: 84 %).

After taking into account the cash flows generated by hedging instruments, Aedifica's net interest charges amount to €17.2 million (30 June 2018: €14.3 million). The average effective interest rate before capitalised interests* including commitment fees amounts to 2.0 %, lower than in the previous financial year (2.2 %). Taking into account other income and charges of financial nature, and excluding the net impact of the revaluation of hedging instruments to their fair value (non-cash movements accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 are not included in the EPRA Earnings* as explained below), the financial result excluding changes in fair value* represents a net charge of €20.2 million (30 June 2018: €15.3 million).

Corporate taxes are composed of current taxes, deferred taxes and exit tax. In conformity with the Company's legal status (i.e. as a RREC), current taxes (charge of €4.5 million; 30 June 2018: charge of €3.6 million) consist primarily of Belgian tax on the Company's non-deductible expenditures, tax generated abroad by the Company and tax on the result of consolidated subsidiaries. Aedifica recognised a generally applicable corporate income tax burden for its Dutch subsidiary (Aedifica Nederland BV) in the income statement. Aedifica took this precautionary measure despite the fact that this subsidiary claims to be a 'Fiscale Belegginsinstelling', a transparent tax regime. Deferred taxes are described below.

The share in the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures (€1.135 million) includes the result of the participation in Immobe NV/SA, which has been consolidated using the equity method since 31 March 2019.

Non-controlling interests (€7.2 million) correspond primarily to the stake of the minority shareholders of Immobe NV/SA until 31 March 2019.

As described below, the share in the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures and the non-controlling interests are split between EPRA Earnings* on one hand, and items with no monetary impact on the other hand.

EPRA Earnings* (see Appendix 5.7.1) reached €72.1 million (30 June 2018: €58.4 million), or €3.74 per share, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding (30 June 2018: €3.25 per share). This profit (absolute and per share) is higher than the amount that was budgeted in the prospectus of the capital increase of 7 May 2019 (€3.70) and higher than the amount that was budgeted in the 2017/2018 annual financial report (€3.45).

4 September 2019 – after closing of markets Under embargo until 17:40 CET

The income statement also includes items with no monetary impact (that is to say, non-cash) that vary as a function of market parameters. These consist of (1) the changes in the fair value of investment properties (accounted for in accordance with IAS 40), (2) changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (accounted for in accordance with IAS 39), (3) other results on portfolio, (4) exit tax and (5) deferred taxes (arising from IAS 40):

  • - At the end of the financial year, changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties (corresponding to the sum of the positive and negative variations between that of 30 June 2018 or at the time of entry of new buildings in the portfolio, and the fair value estimated by valuation experts as of 30 June 2019) taken into income amounted to +3.4 %, or +€76.4 million (30 June 2018: +1.5 %, or +€25.2 million). A change in fair value of -€13.1 million was recorded on development projects (compared to -€10.2 million for the previous year). The combined change in fair value for marketable investment properties and development projects represents an increase of €63.3 million (30 June 2018: +€15.0 million).
  • - In order to limit the interest rate risk stemming from the financing of its investment, Aedifica has put in place long-term hedges which allow for the conversion of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt, or to capped-rate debt. On 30 June 2019, 98 % of the drawings in euro on these variable-rate credit facilities are covered by hedging instruments (swaps and caps). In addition, forward contracts were signed in the course of the financial year to hedge the exchange rate risk of the UK portfolio. Moreover, the financial instruments also reflect put options granted to non-controlling shareholders (in relation to the subsidiaries that are not wholly owned by the Group) which are subject to appraisal at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities taken into income statement as of 30 June 2019 represent a charge of €7.3 million (30 June 2018: charge of €2.2 million).
  • - Capital gains on disposals (€7.3 million; 30 June 2018: €0.8 million) are also taken into account here and mainly include the capital gains on the sale of shares in Immobe NV/SA.
  • - Deferred taxes (charge of €5.6 million as of 30 June 2019 as compared to a charge of €2.5 million as of 30 June 2018) arose from the recognition at fair value of buildings located abroad, in conformity with IAS 40. These deferred taxes (with no monetary impact, that is to say non-cash) are excluded from the EPRA Earnings*.
  • - Exit tax (charge of €0.6 million as of 30 June 2019 as compared to an income of €2.7 million as of 30 June 2018) corresponds to the variation between the estimated exit tax at the moment of acquisition of companies and the estimated exit tax at their anticipated merger dates.

Given the non-monetary items described above, the profit (attributable to owners of the parent) amounts to €124 million (30 June 2018: €71.9 million). The earnings per share (basic earnings per share, as defined in IAS 33) is €6.41 (30 June 2018: €3.99).

As of 30 June 2019, investment properties including assets classified as held for sale* represent 97 % (30 June 2018: 99 %) of the assets recognised on Aedifica's balance sheet, valued in accordance with IAS 40 (that is to say, accounted for at their fair value as determined by valuation experts, namely Cushman & Wakefield Belgium NV/SA, Deloitte Consulting & Advisory CVBA/SCRL, CBRE GmbH, DTZ Zadelhoff VOF, Savills Consultancy BV and Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited) at a value of €2,321 million (30 June 2018: €1,741 million). This heading includes:

  • - Marketable investment properties including assets classified as held for sale* (30 June 2019: €2,270 million; 30 June 2018: €1,705 million), which marked an increase of €564 million. The net growth in the fair value of marketable investment properties* is attributed primarily to €704 million from investment operations (see section 2.1 above), -€291 million for disinvestment operations (see section 2.3), approx. €86 million for the completion of development projects (see section 2.2 above),-€12 million for exchange differences and €76 million for the change in fair value of marketable investment properties.
  • - Development projects (30 June 2019: €51 million; 30 June 2018: €35 million), consisting primarily of investment properties under construction or renovation. These projects are undertaken in the context of the multi-annual investment budget described in Appendix 4.

'Other assets included in the debt-to-assets ratio' also comprises the equity-accounted investments. The remaining participation of 25 % in Immobe NV/SA is included in this item and accounts for €33.9 million as of 30 June 2019.

Other assets included in the debt-to-assets ratio represent 3 % of the total balance sheet (30 June 2018: 1 %).

4 September 2019 – after closing of markets Under embargo until 17:40 CET

Since Aedifica's incorporation, its capital has increased steadily along with its real estate activities (contributions, mergers, etc.) and as a result of capital increases (in cash) in October 2010, December 2012, June 2015, March 2017 and May 2019. The capital has increased to €649 million as of 30 June 2019 (30 June 2018: €480 million). The share premium amounts to €565 million as of 30 June 2019 (30 June 2018: €298 million). Recall that IFRS requires that the costs incurred to raise capital are recognised as a decrease in the statutory capital reserves. Equity (also called net assets), which represents the intrinsic net value of Aedifica and takes into account the fair value of its investment portfolio, amounts to:

  • - €1,480 million excluding the effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments (30 June 2018: €977 million, including the €46 million dividend distributed in November 2018);
  • - €1,430 million including the effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments (30 June 2018: €942 million, including the €46 million dividend distributed in November 2018).

As of 30 June 2019, liabilities included in the debt-to-assets ratio (as defined in the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 regarding RRECs) reached €888 million (30 June 2018: €781 million), of which €859 million (30 June 2018: €740 million) represent amounts drawn on the Company's credit facilities. The debt-toassets ratio amounts to 37.2 % on a consolidated level (30 June 2018: 44.3 %). The maximum ratio permitted for Belgian REITs is set at 65 % of total assets, thus, Aedifica maintains an additional consolidated debt capacity of €663 million in constant assets (that is, excluding growth in the real estate portfolio) or €1,894 million in variable assets (that is, taking into account growth in the real estate portfolio). Conversely, the balance sheet structure permits, all else being equal, the Company to absorb a decrease of up to 44 % in the fair values of its investment properties before reaching the maximum debt-to-assets ratio. Given Aedifica's existing bank commitments, which further limit the maximum debt-to-assets ratio to 60 %, the headroom available amounts to €544 million in constant assets, €1,359 million in variable assets, and 39 % in the fair value of investment properties.

Other liabilities of €68 million (30 June 2018: €44 million) represent primarily the fair value of hedging instruments (30 June 2019: €48 million; 30 June 2018: €33 million).

Excluding the non-monetary effects (that is to say, non-cash) of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments6 and after accounting for the distribution of the 2017/2018 dividend in November 2018 7 , the net asset value per share based on the fair value of investment properties is €60.16 as of 30 June 2019 (30 June 2018: €51.18 per share).

6 The effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments of -€2.05 per share as of 30 June 2019 is the impact in equity of the fair value of hedging instruments, which is negative for €51 million, mainly booked in the liabilities on the balance sheet.

7 Recall that IFRS requires the presentation of the annual accounts before appropriation. The net asset value in the amount of €53.68 per share as of 30 June 2018 thus included the dividend distributed in November 2018, and should be adjusted by €2.50 per share in order to compare with the value as of 30 June 2019. This amount corresponds to the amount of the total dividend (€46 million) divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of 30 June 2018 (18,200,829).

5. Outlook

The Board of Directors continues to pay close attention to the evolution of the economic, financial and political context and the associated impacts on the Group's activities.

In the current economic climate, Aedifica's key strengths include the following:

  • Aedifica's strategic focus on healthcare real estate and its expansion in Europe allow the Group to adapt to shifting market opportunities and economic conditions, in the context of an ageing population. The geographical spread of the portfolio over four countries (Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) leads to additional risks (e.g. exchange rate risks) which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, do not outweigh the benefits gained in terms of risk diversification.
  • Thanks to its investments in healthcare real estate, Aedifica benefits from indexed long-term rental incomes, which generate high net yields. The weighted average unexpired lease term on the total of its leases (21 years) provides a very good view toward the majority of its future income streams over the long term.
  • The low debt-to-assets ratio and confirmed credit lines will provide for the financing of the real estate portfolio (including commitments for development projects) and its future growth. Drawings on the credit facilities are largely covered by hedging instruments.

Considering the abovementioned factors, the Board of Directors projects to generate rental income of €144 million for the 2019/2020 financial year, leading to an EPRA Earnings* of €87 million or €3.55 per share, and permitting a gross dividend of €3.00 per share (an increase of 7 % compared to the dividend proposed by the Board of Directors for the 2018/2019 financial year) to be distributed to shareholders (taking into account the increased number of shares following the capital increase of May 2019).

1 Amounts in GBP were converted into EUR based on the exchange rate of 28 June 2019 (1.1154 €/£).

2 Although still under construction, the sites already generate limited rental incomes, in particular for the plots of land that have already been acquired. Their values are therefore no longer mentioned in the table above. This explains why the estimated investment values differ from those mentioned earlier.

3 Part of the cooperation agreement with Specht Gruppe.

These projects are already pre-let. €18 million need to be added to the total investment budget given the acquisitions carried out on 9 July (€8 million), 7 August (€3 million) and 21 August (€7 million) (see section 3.1 above). Of the abovementioned investment budget, €55 million has already been realised through the completion of the acquisition of four healthcare sites in Germany on 8 and 9 July 2019, the completion of a care campus in Schwerin on 15 August 2019 and the completion of renovation works in Aberdeen on 23 August 2019 (see section 3.2 above).

5. Calculation details of the Alternative Performance Measures (APM for short)

For many years, Aedifica has used Alternative Performance Measures in accordance with ESMA (European Securities and Market Authority) guidelines published on 5 October 2015 in its financial communication. Some of these APM are recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) and others have been defined by the industry or by Aedifica in order to provide readers with a better understanding of the Company's results and performance. The APM used in this annual press release are identified with an asterisk (*). The performance measures which are defined by IFRS standards or by Law are not considered as APM, neither are those which are not based on the consolidated income statement or the balance sheet. In this appendix, the APM are defined, annotated and connected with the most relevant line, total or subtotal of the financial statements.

5.1. Investment properties

Aedifica uses the performance measures presented below to determine the value of its investment properties; however, these measures are not defined under IFRS. They reflect alternate clustering of investment properties with the aim of providing the reader with the most relevant information. The definition of these concepts, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from those used in the financial statements of other companies. They are calculated as follows:

(x €1,000) 2019 2018
Marketable investment properties 2,264,504 1,701,280
+ Development projects 51,205 35,183
Investment properties 2,315,709 1,736,463
+ Assets classified as held for sale 5,240 4,070
Investment properties including assets classified as held for sale, or real estate portfolio 2,320,949 1,740,533
- Development projects -51,205 -35,183
Marketable investment properties including assets classified as held for sale*, or investment
properties portfolio
2,269,744 1,705,350

5.2. Rental income on a like-for-like basis*

Aedifica uses the net rental income on a like-for-like basis* to reflect the performance of investment properties excluding the effect of scope changes; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents rental income excluding the effect of scope changes. The definition of this concept, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from that used in the financial statements of other companies. It is calculated as follows:

(x €1,000) 2019 2018
Rental income 118,413 91,677
- Scope changes -45,944 -20,173
= Rental income on a like-for-like basis* 72,469 71,503

4 September 2019 – after closing of markets Under embargo until 17:40 CET

5.3. Operating charges*, operating margin* and EBIT margin*

Aedifica uses operating charges* to aggregate the operating charges*; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents items IV. to XV. of the income statement. The definition of this concept, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from that used in the financial statements of other companies. It is calculated as indicated in the table below.

Aedifica uses the operating margin* and the EBIT margin* to reflect the profitability of its rental activities; however, these performance measures are not defined under IFRS. They represent the property operating result divided by net rental income and the operating result before result on portfolio divided by net rental income, respectively. The definition of these concepts, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements may differ from those used in the financial statements of other companies. They are calculated as indicated in the table below.

5.4. Financial result excl. changes in fair value of financial instruments*

Aedifica uses the financial result excl. changes in fair value of financial instruments* to reflect its financial result before the non-cash effect of financial instruments; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents the total of items XX., XXI. And XXII. of the income statement. The definition of this concept, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from that used in the financial statements of other companies. It is calculated as follows:

(x €1,000) 2019 2018
XX. Financial income 154 554
XXI. Net interest charges -17,193 -14,321
XXII. Other financial charges -3,129 -1,552
Financial result excl. changes in fair value of financial instruments* -15,319

5.5. Interest rate

Aedifica uses average effective interest rate* and average effective interest rate before deduction of capitalised interests* to reflect the costs of its financial debts; however, these performance measures are not defined under IFRS. They represent annualised net interest charges (after or before capitalised interests) divided by weighted average financial debts. The definition of these concepts, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from those used in the financial statements of other companies. They are calculated as follows:

(x €1,000) 2019 2018
XXI. Net interest charges -17,193 -14,321
Capitalised interests 1,083 482
Annualised net interest charges (a) -16,957 -14,125
Net interest charges before annualised capitalised interests (b) -18,026 -14,600
Weighted average financial debts (c) 981,467 697,832
Average effective interest rate* (a)/(c) 1.7% 2.0%
Average effective interest rate before capitalised interests* (b)/(c) 2.1%

In 2019, the average effective interest rate* (a)/(c) including commitment fees would be 1.9 % (2018: 2.2 %).

In 2019, the average effective interest rate before capitalised interests* (b)/(c) including commitment fees would be 2.0 % (2018: 2.2 %).

4 September 2019 – after closing of markets Under embargo until 17:40 CET

5.6. Equity and net asset value per share

Aedifica uses equity excl. changes in fair value of hedging instruments* to reflect equity before non-cash effects of the revaluation of hedging instruments; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents the line 'equity attributable to owners of the parent' without cumulated noncash effects of the revaluation of hedging instruments. The definition of this concept, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from that used in the financial statements of other companies. It is calculated as follows:

(x €1,000) 2019 2018
Equity attributable to owners of the parent 1,429,549 941,647
- Effect of the distribution of the dividend 2017/2018 0 -45,502
Sub-total excl. effect of the distribution of the dividend 2017/2018 896,145
- Effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments 50,533 35,439
Equity excl. changes in fair value of hedging instruments* 1,480,082 931,584

Aedifica uses net asset value per share excl. changes in fair value of hedging instruments* to reflect equity per share before the non-cash effect of the revaluation of hedging instruments; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents the line 'equity attributable to owners of the parent' without cumulated non-cash effects of the revaluation of hedging instruments, divided by the number of shares outstanding (after deduction of treasury shares) at the closing date. The definition of this concept, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from that used in the financial statements of other companies. It is calculated by dividing equity excl. changes in fair value of hedging instruments* by the number of shares outstanding (after deduction of treasury shares).

4 September 2019 – after closing of markets Under embargo until 17:40 CET

5.7. Key performance indicators according to the EPRA principles

Aedifica supports reporting standardisation, which has been designed to improve the quality and comparability of information. The Company supplies its investors with most of the information recommended by EPRA. The following indicators are considered as APM:

5.7.1. EPRA Earnings*

Aedifica uses EPRA Earnings* to comply with the EPRA's recommendations and to measure its operational and financial performance; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents the profit (attributable to owners of the Parent) after corrections recommended by the EPRA. In Aedifica's case, the EPRA Earnings* corresponds perfectly to the result excl. changes in fair value, which has previously been used in Aedifica's financial communication. It is calculated as follows:

EPRA Earnings* 30 June 2019 30 June 2018
x €1,000
Earnings (owners of the parent) per IFRS income statement 123,497 71,855
Adjustments to calculate EPRA Earnings*, exclude:
(i) Changes in value of investment properties, development properties held for
investment and other interests
-63,317 -15,018
(ii) Profits or losses on disposal of investment properties, development properties held
for investment and other interests
-7,251 -789
