1. Summary of the activities since 1 January 2024

During the first quarter of 2024, Aedifica focused mainly on executing its investment programme and managing its portfolio. Backed by a healthy balance sheet, improving operator performance and an improving macroeconomic environment in which short-term interest rates seem to have reached their peak and inflation has fallen, Aedifica has cautiously resumed its investment policy. Since the beginning of the year, approx. €46 million in new investments have been announced in the healthcare real estate sector, which will continue to need additional capacity in the years to come due to the ageing European population. Aedifica again posted solid results, which is reflected in EPRA Earnings* that are slightly above budget and increased by 8% compared to Q1 2023.

COMPLETING THE INVESTMENT PROGRAMME

A total of ten projects from the investment programme amounting to approx. €74 million were completed during the first quarter. This reduced the investment programme to approx. €343 million as at 31 March 2024 (see Appendix 3). In the coming weeks and months, several more projects are expected to be delivered, which should lead to a further reduction in the size of the investment programme to approx. €120 million by the end of the year (not considering the addition of new projects).

At the end of March, Aedifica's real estate portfolio included 623 sites with a capacity of more than 35,400 residents and over 11,900 children. The fair value of the real estate portfolio* amounted to approx. €5,963 million (compared to €5,849 million at the beginning of the financial year).

HEALTHY BALANCE SHEET

Aedifica boasts a healthy balance sheet. As of 31 March 2024, the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 39.6%, down slightly from 31 December 2023 and well below the 45% threshold the Group imposes on itself in its financial policy. After five consecutive quarters of negative portfolio valuations, the portfolio valuation is slightly positive on a like-for-like basis in the first quarter of 2024, confirming the resilience of healthcare real estate.

During the first quarter of 2024, financial resources were strengthened by contracting approx. €25 million in new long-term bank financing (early refinancing, linked to sustainability KPIs). At the end of March, headroom on committed credit lines stood at €868 million, providing ample resources to finance the execution of the investment programme and liquidity needs.

The average cost of debt* including commitment fees decreased slightly to 1.8% thanks to the Group's interest rate hedges covering nearly 96% of financial debt. The hedging's weighted average maturity is 4.8 years.

In addition, 47% of drawn credit lines are linked to sustainability KPIs, underlining the Group's efforts to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy.

SOLID RESULTS

In the first quarter of 2024, Aedifica's portfolio generated a rental income of €82.0 million, an increase of approx. 8% as compared to the same period last year. This increase is mainly explained by the projects delivered from the pipeline and the indexation of rents, amounting to 3.4% on a like-for-like basis. EPRA Earnings* amounted to €59.8 million (€55.3 million as at 31 March 2023, an increase of approx. 8%), i.e. €1.26 per share. EPRA Earnings* (absolute and per share) are slightly above budget. Aedifica's total profit amounts to €75.6 million (€16.1 million as at 31 March 2023). This increase in total profit compared to last year can be primarily attributed to the valuation of the portfolio.

These solid results allow Aedifica's Board of Directors to reaffirm its outlook for the 2024 financial year5 .

3. Management of financial resources

3.1. Financial debts

During the first quarter of 2024, Aedifica strengthened its financial resources through a €25 million sixyear bank facility (early refinancing) linked to sustainability KPIs.

In addition, Aedifica managed to increase its issuance of short-term treasury notes by €70 million, optimising its cost of debt.

Taking these elements into account, the maturity dates of Aedifica's financial debts as of 31 March 2024 are as follows:

1 Amounts in £ were converted into € based on the exchange rate of 31 March 2024 (0.85509 €/£).

As at 31 March 2024, the weighted average maturity of the drawn financial debt is 4.2 years. Available committed financing amounts to €1,180 million. After deducting the backup for the short-term treasury notes, the available liquidity stands at €868 million.

Loans contracted under Aedifica's Sustainable Finance Framework or linked to sustainability KPIs amount to €1,309 million, of which €956 million is drawn on 31 March 2024 (47% of the drawn credit lines), underlining the Group's wish to further diversify its sources of financing and to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy.

The average cost of debt* including commitment fees decreased slightly to 1.8% (31 December 2023: 1.9%) thanks to the interest rate hedges Aedifica had in place.

As at 31 March 2024, 95.9% of financial debt is hedged against interest rate risks, i.e., the ratio of the sum of the fixed rate debt and the notional amount of derivatives divided by the total financial debt. The hedging's weighted average maturity is 4.8 years.

As part of its financial policy, Aedifica aims to keep its debt-to-assets ratio below 45%. As at 31 March 2024, Aedifica's consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounts to 39.6%.

2 May 2024 – before opening of markets

4. Summary of the consolidated results as at 31 March 2024

4.1. Portfolio as at 31 March 2024

During the first quarter of 2024, Aedifica increased its portfolio of investment properties6 by approx. €115 million, from a fair value of €5,849 million to €5,963 million. This value of €5,963 million includes the marketable investment properties7 (€5,812 million) and the development projects (€151 million). The increase in marketable investment properties comes mainly from completed development projects (see section 2.1 above) and changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties recognised in income (+€1.7 million). The changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties8 , as assessed by independent valuation experts, are broken down as follows:

  • Belgium: -€5.9 million (-0.5%)
  • Germany: -€4.3 million (-0.4%)
  • Netherlands: +€3.3 million (+0.5%)
  • United Kingdom: +€5.1 million (+0.5%)
  • Finland: +€2.4 million (+0.2%)
  • Sweden: +€0.0 million (+0.0%)
  • Ireland: +€1.1 million (+0.3%)
  • Spain: -€0.0 million

1 Based on the fair value (re-assessed every three months). For healthcare real estate, 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 supported by the operator in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and (often) the Netherlands. In Germany, Finland and Sweden (and the Netherlands, in some cases), the net yield is generally lower than the gross yield, with certain charges remaining the responsibility of the owner, such as the repair and maintenance of the roof, structure and facades of the building ('double net' contracts).

2 May 2024 – before opening of markets

The increase in consolidated rental income can be attributed to the growth of Aedifica's portfolio through the delivery of development projects from the investment programme and is supported by the indexation of rental income.

The 3.3% like-for-like variation* in rental income can be broken down into +3.4% indexation of rents, -0.7% rent renegotiations and +0.6% exchange rate fluctuation. Contingent rents amounting to €0.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 are not included in the like-for-like variation and fully compensate for rent renegotiations.

Taking into account the rental-related charges (€0.1 million), the net rental income amounts to €82.1 million (+8% compared to 31 March 2023).

The property result amounts to €81.9 million (31 March 2023: €75.9 million). This result, less other direct costs, leads to a property operating result of €78.8 million (31 March 2023: €72.1 million). This implies an operating margin* of 96.1% (31 March 2023: 95.0%).

After deducting overheads of €9.2 million (31 March 2023: €8.7 million) and taking into account other operating income and charges, the operating result before result on the portfolio has increased by 10% to reach €69.4 million (31 March 2023: €63.4 million). This implies an EBIT margin* of 84.6% (31 March 2023: 83.5%).

Taking into account the cash flows generated by hedging instruments, Aedifica's net interest charges amount to €10.0 million (31 March 2023: €11.4 million). Taking into account other income and charges of a 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 excl. changes in fair value* represents a net charge of €10.7 million (31 March 2023: charge of €12.1 million).

Corporate taxes are composed of current taxes, deferred taxes, tax on profits or losses on disposals and exit tax. In conformity with the special tax system of Belgian RRECs, the taxes included in the EPRA Earnings* (31 March 2024: income of €1.4 million; 31 March 2023: income of €4.3 million) consist primarily of tax on the result of consolidated subsidiaries, tax on profits generated outside of Belgium and Belgian tax on Aedifica's non-deductible expenditures. On 31 March 2024, current taxes include a non-recurring refund of corporate taxes in the Netherlands following the obtention of the Fiscal Investment Institutions (Fiscale Beleggingsintellingen, 'FBI') regime for the year 2022 amounting to approx. €4.2 million (see section 4.4). As a reminder, also in the first quarter of 2023 current taxes included a non-recurring refund of corporate taxes in the Netherlands of approx. €6.2 million.

The share in the result of associates and joint ventures mainly includes the result of the participation in Immobe NV (consolidated since 31 March 2019 using the equity method).

EPRA Earnings* (see Appendix 4.7.1) reached €59.8 million (31 March 2023: €55.3 million), or €1.26 per share (31 March 2023: €1.39 per share), based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and taking into account the higher number of shares resulting from capital increases in 2023. This result (absolute and per share) is slightly above budget.

The income statement also includes elements with no monetary impact (i.e., non-cash) that vary in line with external market parameters. These consist amongst others of changes in the fair value of investment properties (accounted for in accordance with IAS 40), changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (accounted for in accordance with IAS 39), other results on portfolio and deferred taxes (arising from IAS 40):

  • Over the first quarter, the combined changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties10 and development projects represent an increase of €0.9 million for the period (31 March 2023: a decrease of €50.4 million). After five consecutive quarters of negative portfolio valuations, expert valuations increased slightly in the first quarter (see section 4.1).
  • In order to limit the interest rate risk stemming from the financing of its investments, Aedifica has put in place long-term hedges which allow for the conversion of variable-rate debt to fixedrate debt, or to capped-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities taken into the income statement as of 31 March 2024 represent an income of €11.0 million (31 March 2023: a charge of €11.6 million) following an increase in long-term interest rates during the first quarter.
  • Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties (31 March 2024: loss of €0.0 million; 31 March 2023: gain of €0.2 million) are also taken into account here.
  • Deferred taxes in respect of EPRA adjustments (income of €3.9 million as of 31 March 2024, compared to an income of €22.1 million as of 31 March 2023) arose from the recognition at fair value of buildings located abroad, in conformity with IAS 40. Deferred taxes were positively impacted by obtaining REIT status in the UK entities.

Taking into account the non-monetary elements described above, the profit (owners of the parent) amounts to €75.6 million (31 March 2023: €16.1 million). The basic earnings per share (as defined by IAS 33) is €1.59 (31 March 2023: €0.40).

10 That change corresponds to the sum of the positive and negative variations of the fair value of the buildings as of 31 December 2023 or the time of entry of new buildings in the portfolio, and the fair value estimated by the valuation experts as of 31 March 2024. It also includes ancillary acquisition costs and changes in the right of use of plots of land and the land reserve.

4.4. Fiscal Investment Institutions ('FBI') in the Netherlands

In September 2022, the Dutch government announced its intention to exclude direct investments in real estate from the Fiscal Investment Institutions (Fiscale Beleggingsinstellingen, 'FBI') regime as from 1 January 2024. The entry into force of this measure was postponed to 1 January 2025.

Although Aedifica believed it met the conditions for claiming the FBI regime and submitted applications to the Dutch tax authorities to that effect, the Group opted as a matter of prudence for a common law tax burden on the results of its Dutch subsidiaries from the start of its operations in the Netherlands in 2016. Every year, the Group claimed the application of this regime.

At the end of 2022, the Group finally received confirmation that the FBI requirements were met for the past fiscal years. Aedifica decided to reverse the accrued tax provisions of previous years in the income statement upon receipt of the final corporate tax assessment. In 2023, approx. €9.0 million in refunds for the period from 2016 to 2021 was received and recognised in the income statement.

The final corporate tax assessment for the year 2022 was received early 2024. The accrued tax provisions for 2022 amounted to approx. €4.2 million. For the years 2023 and 2024, no provisions for corporate income tax have been made in the Dutch subsidiaries.

4.5. UK REIT regime

To make Aedifica's investments in the United Kingdom more attractive and increase the contribution of UK operating cash flows to the Group's results, Aedifica decided to operate in the UK under the REIT regime.

In this context, Aedifica has transferred its real estate activities in the UK, Jersey and the Isle of Man to the recently incorporated AED UK Holdings Ltd. This wholly owned non-listed entity now holds the shares of all UK subsidiaries within the Aedifica group. On 30 January 2024, the holding notified HMRC of its intention to become a REIT. As a result, the accounting period under the REIT regime began on 1 February 2024.

Under REIT legislation, companies are exempt from UK corporation tax on UK property investment income and gains on UK property. However, REITs must distribute 90% of underlying tax-exempt property income (not gains) to shareholders within twelve months. These distributions are subject to a 20% withholding tax. Following the double tax treaty between the United Kingdom and Belgium, the net impact of the withholding tax amounts to only 15%.

4.6. Net asset value per share

The table below details the evolution of the net asset value per share.

Excluding the non-monetary effects (i.e., non-cash) of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments11 , the net asset value per share based on the fair value of investment properties amounted to €75.35 as of 31 March 2024 (31 December 2023: €73.86 per share).

11 The effect of changes in fair value of hedging instruments of +€1.58 per share as at 31 March 2024 is the impact in equity of the fair value of hedging instruments, which is positive for €75.4 million, mainly booked in the assets on the balance sheet.

5. Outlook and dividend

5.1. Outlook for 2024

Outlook for 2024
Estimated rental income €330 million
EPRA Earnings* €223 million
EPRA Earnings* per share €4.70
Gross dividend €3.90

The table above presents the guidance for the 2024 financial year as communicated in the annual press release12 . On the basis of the currently available information and the projected real estate portfolio, and without any unforeseen developments, rental income for the 2024 financial year is estimated to reach €330 million (based on organic growth of approx. 3% after CPI-linked indexation), resulting in €223 million in EPRA Earnings*. The Board of Directors anticipates EPRA Earnings* per share of €4.70 per share and a gross dividend of €3.90 per share, payable in May 2025. On 31 March 2024, the EPRA Earnings* were slightly above the quarterly budget.

5.2. Dividend for the 2023 financial year

For the 2023 financial year, Aedifica's Board of Directors proposes a gross dividend of €3.80 per share (+3% compared to the 2022 dividend). The dividend will be split between coupon no. 33 (€1.9156, excoupon date: 22 June 2023) and coupon no. 34 (€1.8844, to be detached in May 2024). They will be paid out as from 22 May 2024, following the approval of the annual accounts by the Annual General Meeting of 14 May 2024.

Coupon Period Ex-coupon date Est. payment date Gross dividend Net dividend
33 01/01/2023 – 03/07/2023 22/06/2023 as from 22/05/2024 €1.9156 €1.6283
34 04/07/2023 – 31/12/2023 16/05/2024 as from 22/05/2024 €1.8844 €1.6017

As Aedifica is an RREC investing more than 80% of its portfolio in European (residential) healthcare real estate, its shareholders benefit from a reduced withholding tax rate of only 15%. Following Brexit, a transition regime was provided for UK assets acquired prior to 1 January 2021 so that they can be included in the calculation of the 80% threshold until the end of the 2025 financial year. Therefore, if legislation does not change in the meantime and no major changes happen in the Group's portfolio, Aedifica estimates that its shareholders will continue to benefit from the reduced withholding tax rate of 15% on dividends paid or attributed until 31 December 2025.

6. Corporate Social Responsibility

6.1. Successful Operator Days in Belgium

In March 2024, following the success of 2023's Operator Days in Belgium, Aedifica organised two more events in Leuven and Ghent to support its Belgian tenants with their real estate issues. The sessions focused on sustainable care and improving the quality of life of care home residents. In addition to testimonials and expert panels, case studies from Finland designed and developed by our local Hoivatilat team were presented. Both Operator Days were – again – a success with over 300 representatives attending.

6.2. ESG ratings: excellent Sustainalytics Risk Rating & inclusion in new BE.Truth index

Aedifica's CSR efforts are paying off, as evidenced by two ESG ratings awarded in early 2024. Sustainalytics once again gave the Group a favourable 'Low' Risk Rating of 11.0, a slight improvement on last year (11.1). In addition, Aedifica was included in Axylia's new BE.Truth Index with an 'A' Carbon Score.

Visit Aedifica's website to find out more about its sustainability scores.

6.3. Environmental Data Report to be published in June 2024

In the recently published 2023 Annual Report, Aedifica already incorporated a large amount of CSR-related information. Similar to last year, Aedifica will therefore not publish a separate CSR report, but only an Environmental Data Report in June 2024 providing an update of the Company's environmental performance, including KPIs.

1 The figures in this table are rounded amounts. The sum of certain figures might therefore not correspond to the stated total. Amounts in £ and SEK were converted into € based on the exchange rate of 31 March 2024 (0.85509 €/£ and 11.5247 €/SEK).

2 Although still under construction, development projects often already generate limited rental income, 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 This project has already been completed after 31 March 2024 (see section 2.2 above).

Given the completion of a development project after 31 March 2024, the total investment budget will be reduced by approx. €15 million (see section 2.2 above).

4. Calculation details of the Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

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 for many years. Some of these APMs 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 APMs used in this interim financial report are identified with an asterisk (*). Performance measures defined by IFRS standards or by Law are not considered to be APMs, neither are those that are not based on the consolidated income statement or the balance sheet. The definition of APMs, as applied to Aedifica's financial statements, may differ from those used in the financial statements of other companies.

4.1. 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.

4.3. Average cost of debt*

Aedifica uses average cost of debt* and average cost of debt* (incl. commitment fees) to reflect the costs of its financial debts; however, these performance measures are not defined under IFRS. They represent annualised net interest charges deducted by reinvoiced interests and IFRS 16 (and commitment fees) divided by weighted average financial debts.

(x €1,000) 31/03/2024 31/12/2023
Weighted average financial debts (a) 2,296,150 2,395,149

Average cost of debt* (incl. commitment fees) (c)/(a) 1.8% 1.9%

4.4. Interest Cover Ratio* (ICR)

The interest cover ratio* is used to measure the ability to meet interest payments obligations related to debt financing and should be at least equal to 2.0x. The ICR* is calculated based on the definition set out in the prospectus of Aedifica's Sustainability Bond: 'Operating result before result on the portfolio' (lines I to XV of the consolidated income statement) divided by 'Net interest charges' (line XXI) on a 12 month rolling basis.

XXI. Net interest charges -43,632 -45,004
Interest Cover Ratio* 6.2 5.9

4.5. Net debt/EBITDA*

This APM indicates how long a company would have to operate at its current level to pay off all its debts. It is calculated by dividing net financial debts, i.e., long-term and current financial debts minus cash and cash equivalents (numerator) by the EBITDA of the past twelve months (TTM) (denominator). EBITDA is the operating result before result on portfolio plus depreciation and amortisation.

(x €1,000) 31/03/2024 31/12/2023
Non-current and current financial debts 2,324,298 2,280,299
- Cash and cash equivalents -16,608 -18,253

1 TTM (trailing 12 months) means that the calculation is based on financial figures for the past 12 months.

4.6. Equity

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.

(x €1,000) 31/03/2024 31/12/2023
Equity attributable to owners of the parent 3,658,046 3,575,862
