Care Property Invest was founded on 30 October 1995. As the first listed property investor in Belgium, it strongly focused on growing the Company and its property portfolio in 2017.
As a result, ambitions and expectations for the financial year 2018 were sky-high. Care Property Invest was fully committed to realising its targets, making a giant step in terms of reinforcing its portfolio, visibility and naturally also in terms of its results.
The Company was able to add €100 million in additional investments to its portfolio, of which €69 million generated an immediate return. This, combined with the completion of the current developments and the occurrence of an overall increase in the fair value of its portfolio, resulted in a total fair value of the property portfolio as at 31 December 2018 of approximately €521 million(1).
Also, the path of geographical change that we embarked on in 2017 has further been explored. Through the acquisition of the projects 'Home Aldante' and 'Wiart 126', respectively located in Koekelberg and Jette, 2 additional real estate investments in the Brussels-Capital Region were added to the portfolio. Aditionally, in the financial year 2018 the company took its first steps in investing on new target market The Netherlands by acquiring the projects 'Villa Pavia' in Zeist, which provides an immediate return for the Company, and 'De Orangerie' in Nijmegen, a redevelopment of an existing building.
In 2018, Care Property Invest reached the threshold of approx. €25 million in rental income. This is a 26.51% increase compared to the previous financial year. Based on this increase in rental income and cost control, the net IFRS-based result increased from €11.8 million for the 2017 financial year to €16.65 million for the 2018 financial year. This is an increase of over 40%. This enabled Care Property Invest to easily achieve its targets, realising a net IFRS-based result of €0.8619 per share. This allows for increasing the dividend by 5.8% (from €0.68 per share for the 2017 financial year to €0.72 per share for the 2018 financial year), despite the increase in the number of shares entitled to dividend as a result of the 2 capital increases that took place in 2017.
(1) (i) The investment properties are included at fair value in the balance sheet in accordance with IAS 40, the finance lease receivables are included at cost in the balance sheet in accordance with IAS 17.
(ii) The share in % compared to the total property portfolio of the finance lease receivables (IAS 17) according to the balance sheet values is 39% as at 31 December 2018, the share in % compared to the total property portfolio (IAS 40) according to the balance sheet values is 61% as at 31 December 2018.
(iii) The value of the finance lease receivables included in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2018 amounts to €173,160,837.65. The fair value of the finance lease receivables amounts to €249,138,429 as at 31 December 2018. The fair value of the finance lease receivables is a mandatory clarification (IAS 17)

In September 2017, Care Property Invest's reporting efforts have been rewarded for the second time in a row with an EPRA BPR Gold Award. By appointing Bank Degroof Petercam as liquidity provider as from February 2018, the Company aims to make the necessary efforts to meet the liquidity requirements necessary to be included in the EPRA index. The Company also appointed KBC Securities as additional liquidity provider in November 2018 in order to further improve the liquidity of its share and to achieve its strategic objective, i.e. its inclusion in the EPRA index.
The Company aims to continue this growth process in 2019, prioritising further increase of its results.
For example, the Company expects rental income to increase to at least €29 million by the end of 2019. The projected increase in rental income is made possible by the real estate investments realised in the last quarter of 2018 and by several investments in the pipeline, the realisation of which will take place in 2019.
An increase in the net IFRS-based result to at least €0.87 per share and an increase in the dividend to be distributed from €0.72 per share to €0.77 are also expected.
Care Property Invest's ambitions for 2019 and beyond are therefore high.
Care Property Invest wishes to thank its shareholders for their trust, its customers for their confidence in the added value that Care Property Invest brings to their project, and naturally its employees for their dynamic commitment in realising the Company's targets and objectives.
Care Property Invest's ambition is to become the ultimate reference in the health care property market and to realise accelerated growth.
75-85 65-75 <65
Its current strategy for residential healthcare real estate for senior citizens is based on the progressive ageing of the population which, according to the Federal Planning Bureau, will peak in Belgium by 2070. Now and in the coming decades, this will lead to an increasing demand for healthcare real estate with social added value. A similar trend also applies to The Netherlands in terms of population ageing figures. For more details, we refer to the graphs below, which show the demographic evolution in Belgium and the Netherlands.
The guaranteed demographic evolution in combination with its growth strategy, the implementation of its corporate purpose and the fact that it is the only RREC to invest 100% in health care real estate, ensures that its share always provides a stable return for its shareholders, and this at a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% (instead of the general rate of 30%).
Care Property Invest spreads its risks by ensuring a good geographic market distribution of its real estate, diversifying between the operators of its real estate and by creating a good balance between public-private and private partnerships. This was, among other things, also a major motivator for the Company to take its step onto the Dutch healthcare real estate market in September 2018.

The careful selection of new projects for the Company always takes place after a detailed risk analysis with a well-founded assessment by the Company's Board of Directors, after the Company's management committee has had an initial discussion about the investment projects.
This may involve the Company developing the property itself, or building and funding the construction, but may also involve refinancing or acquiring existing buildings, with an option of renovation or expansion, both in the private and the public market.
The main selection criteria are presented below:
In essence, Care Property Invest's strategy is of the 'buy and hold' type, and as such, is by definition aimed at keeping the property in the long term.
As mentioned earlier, Care Property Invest is currently active in Belgium and The Netherlands and is cautiously looking at a select number of other key geographical markets within the European Economic Area, which are facing similar demographic trends.
Care Property Invest aims to develop a continual dialogue with the care sector, the government, potential and current investors, credit providers and more in general, with all stakeholders.
The Company attempts to align its financial strategy with the overall strategy and growth achieved by the Company. By continuously expanding its scale, the Company strives for a competitive distribution of debt and capital costs and an improvement of its operating margin.
Care Property Invest aims to finance itself in the best possible way, making use of shareholders' equity and borrowed funds.
Equity is raised by using the capital market. By means of capital increases in cash and in kind, counterbalanced by immediately profitable assets and/or a concrete pipeline, growth in earnings per share can be ensured and maintained.

Care Property Invest aims for a permanent dialogue with investors, both directly and indirectly. By organising or participating in roadshows and fairs both in Belgium and abroad, the Company creates a permanent dialogue with both institutional and private investors.
As a RREC, Care Property Invest is fully aware of the importance of its dividend policy for its shareholders. The Company therefore endeavours to increase its dividend whenever this is sustainably possible. This prevents the company from having to reduce this again in a later financial year.
Given the Company's strong growth, it attempts to allocate as much of its profits as possible so it can be reinvested within the legal framework. In doing so, the Company strives for a pay-out ratio (pay-out percentage of the dividend per share compared to the earnings per share) that comes as close as possible to the legal minimum of 80%, while at the same time striving for a sustainable increase in the dividend. It is also investigating the possibility of an optional dividend.
Despite the already improved liquidity of its share, Care Property Invest is still in the process of increasing this further in order to boost the attractiveness of its share. To this end, it appointed KBC Securities as second liquidity provider in November 2018, following the appointment of Bank Degroof Petercam as liquidity provider in February 2018. The Company's strategic objective is to be included in the EPRA index, which will result in a further increase in the liquidity of the Care Property Invest share. In addition, the appointment of liquidity providers results in smaller price fluctuations and thus a steadier share price and a smaller bid-ask spread.
The foreign funds were raised as diversified as possible. This allows the risk on the banking counterparty to be limited. Care Property Invest aims for a further spread of its lenders.
In order to further diversify the origins of its sources of borrowed funds, the Company also has an MTN programme in place with Belfius that offers the possibility of issuing bonds and commercial papers. In the financial year 2018, the Company raised the ceiling of this programme from €50 million to €100 million and opted for the appointment of KBC as additional dealer in order to limit the placement risk. The Company disposes of the necessary lines for the portion of the commercial paper offering the necessary coverage, in order not to increase the liquidity risk.
Care Property Invest tries to further limit its liquidity risk by keeping sufficient credit lines available for its short-term needs and the financing of additional investments over the current financial year.
In addition, there is also a liquidity risk if the Company would no longer respect the covenants linked to these credit agreements. These covenants contain market-based provisions on, among other things, the debt ratio and compliance with the provisions of the RREC Legislation. Care Property Invest monitors the parameters of these covenants on a regular basis and whenever a new investment is being considered.

At the end of the financial year, Care Property Invest did not mortgage or pledge any building in Belgium or The Netherlands.
Correct financing is necessary for a profitable and solid business model, in view of the capital-intensive character of the sector in which the Company operates and the Company's buy-and-hold strategy. As a result, the Company has a structural debt position with mainly bullet loans. The investment loans that the Company pays off are mainly loans that had already been contracted by subsidiaries prior to acquisition and that the Company acquired with the acquisition of the shares of the subsidiary. The cash position held permanently by the Company is limited.
The Company's long-term objective is to have a debt ratio between 50% and 55%. This debt ratio allows for an optimal balance between own and foreign resources and also offers the possibility of taking advantage of investment opportunities.
The Company also strives for a debt hedging ratio of between 75% and 80%. The Company closely monitors developments on the financial markets in order to optimise its financial structure and to obtain a good composition of short and long-term financing and the conclusion of derivative contracts in order to achieve the desired hedging percentage. The Company also aims to take into account the long-term income from its investments in the average duration of its loans.

Below is a brief overview of the acquistions of several projects in Belgium.

On 19 December 2018, Care Property Invest announced the acquisition of the residential care centre 'Wiart 126', located in the centre of Jette.

This investment will be qualified as a financial lease (IAS 17) and is therefore closely linked to recent investments such as those in Middelkerke and Deinze.

On 5 December 2017, the PCSW (OCMW/CPAS) Middelkerke awarded the public contract for the design, construction and financing of the group of assisted living apartments 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' in Middelkerke to Care Property Invest.

For the realisation of this new build project, Care Property Invest acts both as contracting authority and financier. In this capacity, the Company has obtained a right of superficies on the land for a term of minimum 32 years from the owner of the land, cvba De Ceder.

On 20 December 2018 Care Property Invest was informed that De Meeuwen nv had been included in the list of specialised real estate investment funds as of 20 December 2018.
On 17 October 2018 Care Property Invest announced the establishment of a Dutch 100% subsidiary under the name Care Property Invest.NL bv. This subsidiary was established to acquire healthcare real estate sites in The Netherlands.
On 5 December 2018 Care Property Invest announced the establishment of a second Dutch 100% subsidiary under the name Care Property Invest.NL2 bv. This subsidiary was established to acquire healthcare real estate sites in The Netherlands. The real estate that has been placed in this subsidiary has been granted the NSW (Natuurschoonwet) status. This status allows the company to benefit from tax advantages in The Netherlands with regard to the corporate income tax.
On 25 July 2018 Care Property Invest nv and its subsidiary VSP Lanaken Centrum WZC nv filed the proposal for a merger by means of a transaction assimilated to a merger by absorption with the registry. The effective absorption of VSP Lanaken Centrum WZC nv took place on 27 September 2018. The publication in the Belgian Official Gazette took place on 17 October 2018 (BS 18152502) (for more information, https:// carepropertyinvest.be/en/investments/mergers/)
On 30 July 2018 Care Property Invest nv and its subsidiary Ter Bleuk nv filed the proposal for a merger by means of a transaction assimilated to a merger by absorption with the registry. The effective absorption of Ter Bleuk nv nv took place on 27 September 2018. The publication in the Belgian Official Gazette took place on 18 October 2018 (BS 18153610) (for more information, https://carepropertyinvest.be/en/investments/ mergers/)
On 31 July 2018 Care Property Invest nv and its subsidiary Dermedil nv filed the proposal for a merger by means of a transaction assimilated to a merger by absorption with the registry.

The programme act of 25 December 2017 for the reform of corporation tax, published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 29 December 2017, confirmed the reduction of the exit tax from 16.995% (16.5% including 3% crisis tax) to 12.75% (12.5% including 2% crisis tax) for the tax years 2019 and 2020 as well as the increase to 15% as from tax year 2021.
Since this programme act does not pronounce on the transactions (mergers) that take place in 2018 and thus fall under tax year 2018, a repair legislation was voted which was published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 10 August 2018. As a result of this amendment of the law, the rate of the exit tax is no longer determined by the tax year, linked to the taxable period in which the merger takes place, but the new rule is introduced that the rate is determined by the date of the merger. This amendment ensures that the calculation for the merged companies in 2018 will be made in accordance with the reduced exit tax rate for tax year 2018, being 12.875% (12.5% including 3% crisis tax).
For the companies that acquired the specialised real estate investment fund status in 2018, making the exit tax applicable to these companies, the reduced rate of 12.75% has been applied, as this makes the tax payable at the same time as the regular tax returns for tax year 2019.
For the other companies the percentage of 15% was used, given that the Company does not intend to merge these subsidiaries in the near future. Only for the company Konli bvba the percentage of 12.75% has already been used, given its merger on 1 January 2019 with Care Property Invest nv.

As already announced in a separate press release, Care Property Invest is proud to announce that it has made the following investment after the closing of the financial year:
On 19 February 2019 Care Property Invest announced the acquisition of the residential care centre 'Huyse Elckerlyc', located in Riemst. Therefore it has acquired 100% of the shares in Decorul nv, the company that owns the real estate of this residential care centre. The project has a total capacity of 77 residential places.
The residential care centre is located in the city centre of Millen (a sub-municipality of Riemst) and lies in the province of Limburg on the edge of the Walloon Region and the Dutch border, in a green residential area, with a bakery next door and several restaurants in the vicinity.
The residential care centre is operated by Huyse Elckerlyc nv, a subsidiary fully controlled by Senior Living Group nv (SLG) through a long-term leasehold agreement of the 'triple net' type. Senior Living Group is one of the leading private operators in Belgium.The company groups more than 120 residential care facilities across the country, in which 7,500 employees take care of over 12,500 residents. Senior Living Group is a subsidiary of the listed European healthcare group Korian.
The conventional value of this project amounts to approximately €6.5 million.
On 5 November 2018 Care Property Invest nv and its subsidiary Konli bvba filed the proposal for a merger by means of a transaction assimilated to a merger by absorption with the registry. The effective absorption of Konli bvba took place on 1 January 2019. The publication in the Belgian Official Gazette took place on 21 January 2019 (BS 19010185) (for more information, https://carepropertyinvest.be/en/investments/mergers/)

On 13 February 2019, the board of directors set up an audit committee to ensure the accuracy and reliability of all financial information, both internal and external. It is responsible for ensuring that Care Property Invest's periodic financial reports provide a fair, accurate and clear view of the situation and future prospects of Care Property Invest and, in particular, for auditing the annual and periodic financial reports before they are published. The audit committee also verifies the correct and consistent application of the various accounting standards and valuation rules applied. It also monitors the independence of the statutory auditor and has an advisory role during the (re)appointment of this auditor. Detailed information on the functioning of the audit committee can be found in the Corporate Governance Charter available on the website, www.carepropertyinvest.be.
On 13 February 2019, the board of directors of the Company decided to establish an investment committee. The main objective is to allow greater flexibility in the assessment of investment dossiers. The committee is responsible for providing advice on investment and possible divestment dossiers in order to speed up the decision-making process. The board of directors remains responsible for supervising and taking the final decision on these matters. The investment committee performs its task in accordance with the Company's Integrity Policy. Detailed information on the functioning of the investment committee can be found in the Corporate Governance Charter available on the website, www.carepropertyinest.be.
The Company's preparations made in 2017 paid off in 2018 with a substantial number of new investments, of which the icing on the cake was its first acquisitions on the Dutch healthcare real estate market. The company was able to end the financial year with 2 Dutch additions to its real estate portfolio, being in chronological order the redevelopment of care residence 'De Orangerie' in Nijmegen and care residence 'Villa Pavia' in Zeist.
An agreement under suspensive conditions was also concluded for a project in North Holland on 28 September 2018.
For more information on these projects see item '2.1 Important events during the financial year 2018' on page 9.
The board of directors is also constantly examining various investment and financing possibilities in order to realise its activities. A capital increase by contribution in kind is also among the possibilities.

On 31 December 2018, Care Property Invest has 100 effectively acquired projects in portfolio (also for 1 additional project an agreement was signed on 28 September 2018) of which 4 projects are under development. The increase of the 'finance lease receivables' from €160,251,205.00 to €73,160,837.65 is due to the inclusion of the project 'Hof Driane' in Herenthout, delivered on 20 February 2018, as a finance lease (IAS 17), as well as the acquisition of the company nv Igor Balen, owner of 'Residentie De Anjers'. Unlike the projects in the initial portfolio, for the projects 'Hof Driane' in Herenthout and 'Residentie De Anjers' in Balen, the canon consists not only of the interest component but also of the capital repayment, as a result of which the amount of the receivable will gradually decrease over the period of the leasehold agreement.
Most of the projects are currently still on Belgian territory, more specifically within the Flemish Region. During the second half of 2018, the Company made its first investments in The Netherlands. The 100 effectively acquired projects (1) in portfolio as at 31 December 2018 are geographically spread over the different Belgian regions and The Netherlands as follows:


Figures as at 31 December 2017
Within the total property portfolio, the PCSW of Antwerp has a share of 4 projects, the PCSW of Bruges also has 4 projects and the following PCSWs each have 2 projects in portfolio: Tienen, Leopoldsburg, Zonhoven, Opwijk, Zaventem, Sint-Niklaas, Destelbergen, Hooglede, Brecht, Ninove, Hamme, Hamont-Achel and Essen.

(2) A subsidiary of the French listed company Korian.
Figures as at 31 December 2018

As at 31 December 2018, the PCSWs represent 54.32% of the Company's total rental income. PCSW (OCMW/ CPAS) Antwerp has the largest share (3.91%), followed by PCSW (OCMW/CPAS) Bruges (3.01%) and PCSW (OCMW/CPAS) Waregem (2.37%). The remaining balance of the rental income is derived from the projects operated by NPOs and and various private operators.

The weighted average outstanding shares amounted to 15,805,323 as at 31 December 2017 and increased to 19,322,845 shares as at 31 December 2018, due to the fact that the newly issued shares following the capital increase on 27 October 2017 are fully entitled to dividends for this financial year. The initial issue price in 1996 amounted to €5,949,44 (or €5.9495 after the share split of 24 March 2014 based on 1/1,000), The share price was €20.20 as at 31 December 2018 and €18.56 as at 31 December 2017.
The gross yield is calculated in the table '5.2 Net result per share on a consolidated basis' by dividing the net result per share by the initial issue price in 1996 on the one hand and the share price on closing date on the other hand. In table '5.3 Components of the net result' the gross yield is calculated by dividing the net result IFRS per share by the initial issue price in 1996 on the one hand and the share price on the closing date on the other hand. There are no instruments with a potentially dilutive effect on the net result or net result IFRS per share.
On 16 May 2018, the extraordinary general meeting decided to abolish the status of special shares and to convert these special shares into ordinary shares, with the same rights as ordinary shares. Since then, the capital of Care Property Invest has been represented by 19,322,845 ordinary shares. The 150,000 new ordinary shares have been negotiable since 27 June 2018 under the same ISIN code as the other shares of Care Property Invest.
On 31 December 2018 they were all nominative.

The Company's operating result increased by 60.82% compared to 31 December 2017.
The rental income as at 31 December 2018 increased by 26,52% compared to the same period last year. The Company thus exceeds its own forecast of €24 million in rental income. The increase in rental income from investment properties is explained, besides indexation, by the additional rental income following the acquisition of new investment properties in the first and last quarter of 2018. The investment properties acquired in the last quarter of 2017 also contribute to the increased rental income in 2018.
The increase in income from finance leases is explained, besides indexation, by the completion of the 'Hof Driane' project in Herenthout, which generates additional rental income as from 1 March 2018, and the acquisition of the 'Residentie de Anjers' project in Balen on 17 July 2018, which also generates additional rental income as from that date.
General operating expenses increased by €903,757.90 compared to 31 December 2017. The increase of the general operating expenses is mainly explained by the advice of the Company regarding its entry into the Dutch market, the transformation of subsidiaries into the SREIF statute and the silent merger of some subsidiaries.
A further increase in general expenses is explained by the increase in the Company's workforce, which on average increased from 6.6 FTEs in 2017 to 8.2 FTEs in 2018.
Other operating costs and income have decreased from a revenue of €895,789.05 as at 31 December 2017 to a revenue of €86,705.90 as at 31 December 2018. These are mainly costs and revenues that are corrected as non-cash elements for the calculation of the net result IFRS. The largest operating cost related to the projects concerns the construction costs of €6,699,241.79. These are activated through other operating income. In addition, the operating income section also includes the profit margin of the projects.
The variations in the fair value of investment properties amount to €3,727,705.52. The increase reflects an overall positive variation in the fair value of the investment properties in the portfolio. Again, these are unrealised variations that are corrected in the IFRS net result.
Interest expenses increased due to the acquisition of existing loans from newly acquired subsidiaries and the raising of borrowed funds to finance the acquisitions in the first quarter of 2018. In the second quarter of 2018, financing was contracted for the dividend payment. In the third quarter, an additional commercial paper of €12,000,000 was issued to finance the acquisition of the company Igor Balen nv, owner of the 'Residentie De Anjers' project in Balen. Additional issues of commercial paper and drawings on the rollover facility at KBC to finance the new acquisitions were also made in the fourth quarter. On 31 December 2018, this resulted in a weighted average interest rate of 2.90%. This is a significant decrease compared to the weighted average interest rates of 3.76% on 31 December 2017. The Company had €31.5 million outstanding commercial paper at 31 December 2018 and €32.5 million outstanding on the rollover facility with KBC.

The financial result was negatively influenced by the inclusion of the fair value of the financial instruments concluded. Due to a change in interest rates and the conclusion of an additional IRS, despite the further expiry of the term of existing financial instruments, a negative value of €-142,219.64 was obtained on 31 December 2018. As a result, the total impact to date amounts to €-19,556,182.94 compared to €-19,416,963.30 as at 31 December 2017.
The variation in fair value of financial assets and liabilities is a non-cash element and is therefore not taken into account for the calculation of the distributable result, i.e. the net result IFRS.
The tax amount of 31 December 2018 includes the estimated and prepaid corporate income tax as well as the change of the calculated exit tax of the subsidiaries.
The Programme Law of 25 December 2017 reforming the corporate income tax, published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 29 December 2017, ratified the reduction of the exit tax from 16.995% (16.5% including 3% crisis tax) to 12.75% (12.5% including 2% crisis tax) for the tax years 2019 and 2020 as well as the increase to 15% as from tax year 2021.
Since this Programme Law does not pronounce on the transactions (mergers) that take place in 2018 and thus fall under tax year 2018, a repair law was voted and published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 10 August 2018. As a result of this amendment of the law, the rate of the exit tax is no longer determined by the tax year, linked to the taxable period in which the merger takes place, but the new rule is introduced that the rate is determined by the date of the merger. This amendment ensures that the settlement for the merged companies in 2018 will take place in accordance with the reduced exit tax percentage for tax year 2018, being 12.875% (12.5% including 3% crisis tax).
For the companies that acquired the SREIF statute in 2018, as a result of which the exemption tax becomes payable for these companies, the reduced rate of 12.75% has been applied, as this payment coincides with the regular tax return for tax year 2019. For the other companies the percentage of 15% was used, given that the Company does not intend to merge these subsidiaries in the short term. Only for the company Konli bvba the percentage of 12.75% has already been applied, given the merger on 1 January 2019 with Care Property Invest nv.
The net result IFRS on 31 December 2018 on a consolidated basis amounted to €16,654,244.74 compared to €11,804,861.97 on 31 December 2017. This represents an increase of 41%. The net IFRS result per share amounted to €0.8619 at 31 December 2018, an increase of 15.39% despite the increase in the number of shares entitled to dividend. The Company thus exceeds the proposed earnings per share that it had declared as €0.80 per share. This concerns the distributable result of the Company.

The Company's property portfolio increased in 2018 by €69,766,244 due to the acquisition of the following properties in the first and last quarter:
In addition, the value of the real estate portfolio also increased due to an overall positive variation in the fair value and the further completion of the real estate investments under development (mainly the development of the 'Les Saules' project in Forest).
The property expert confirms the fair value of the property portfolio for a total amount of €271,431,222.33.
The fair value is equal to the investment value (or the 'deed-in-hand' value including all purchase costs) from which the transfer taxes have been deducted at a rate of 2.5%.
As at 31 December 2018, this heading includes €2,030,061.85 in 'tangible fixed assets for own use' and €7,094,132.42 in 'finance lease receivables' relating to projects in progress. For the projects in Deinze and Middelkerke, this section also includes €904,000 in added value.
The item Finance lease receivables includes all final building rights fees that were due for repayment within the context of the building rights contracts for the 76 projects in the initial investment programme and for the projects 'Hof ter Moere' in Moerbeke, 'Hof Driane' in Herenthout and 'Residentie De Anjers'(1) in Balen.
The increase in finance lease receivables can mainly be explained by the acquisition of the company Igor Balen nv, owner of the 'Residentie De Anjers' project. The value of these 'finance lease receivables' amounted to €9,719,539.85 at 31 December 2018. The fair value of the finance leases amounted to €249,138,429.41 at 31 December 2018.
(1) As opposed to the projects of the initial portfolio, the ground rent for the Moerbeke, Herenthout and Balen projects, in addition to an interest component, also consists of a capital repayment, as a result of which the amount of the receivable will gradually decrease over the term of the long-term lease agreement.
The difference between the nominal value of the final building right fees (included in the item 'finance lease receivables') and the fair value, calculated on the date it becomes available by discounting the future cash flows, is included in the item 'Trade receivables' and is depreciated on an annual basis.
The increase in trade receivables regarding the projects included in the item 'finance lease receivables' can mainly be explained by the acquisition of the company Igor Balen nv, owner of the 'Residentie De Anjers project. The trade receivable for this project as at 31 December 2018 amounted to €2,612,701.46.
The Company has an MTN programme at Belfius of €100 million with both Belfius and KBC as dealers. The Company has provided the necessary backup lines for this purpose. As at 31 December 2018, the amount already drawn amounts to €31.5 million in commercial paper and €17.5 million in bonds, being 2 bonds of €5 million each with an initial term of 6 and 7 years and an additional bond of €7.5 million with an initial term of 11 years, adding up to a total amount outstanding of €49 million.

(1) The weighted average interest rate refers to interest rates after conversion of variable interest rates to fixed interest rates through swaps.
The Company expects that the weighted average interest rate will further decrease during the financial year 2019 as the Company incurs new debts to finance additional investments The Company has provided the necessary room for manoeuvre in view of its debt ratio.
The debt ratio, calculated in accordance with Article 13, §1, 2° of the RREC Decree, was 45,70% on 31 December 2018. The available space for further investments and completion of the developments already acquired amounts to €97.9 million before reaching a debt ratio of 55%.

With a joint real estate portfolio that exceeds the mark of €450 billion(2), more than 275 EPRA members (companies, investors and their suppliers) represent the core of the European listed real estate. The purpose of this non profit organisation is to promote the European (listed) real estate and its role in society. Its members are listed companies and join forces to improve accounting guidelines, the supply of information and corporate governance within the European real estate sector. Furthermore EPRA provides high-quality information to investors and publishes standards for financial reporting which from the annual financial report of the financial year 2016 on were included in the half-yearly and annual financial reports of Care Property Invest.
Care Property Invest's efforts in the financial year 2017 to apply the EPRA standards as completely as possible in its yearly and half-yearly financial reports have been rewarded for the second time in September 2018 with an EPRA BPR Gold Award at the annual EPRA conference. The Company is committed to continually improve the transparency and quality of the financial reporting and also wants to earn this recognition in the coming financial years.
The EPRA index is used worldwide as a benchmark and is the most used investment index to compare performances of listed real estate companies and REITS. At 31 December 2018, the index was composed based on a group of 107 companies with a combined market capitalisation of more than €279 billion (full market capitalisation). The Company has the ambition to become a member of this index. 2 liquidity providers have been appointed in order to bring the liquidity up to the required level.
In November 2016 the board of directors of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) published an update of the report 'EPRA Reporting: Best Practices Recommendations' ('EPRA Best Practices'). The report is available on the EPRA website (www.epra.com). This report contains recommendations for the most important indicators of the financial performance of listed real estate companies. Care Property Invest supports the current tendency to standardise reporting in view of higher quality and comparability of information and provides the investors with the majority of the indicators recommended by EPRA.

(1) Care Property Invest only encounters a vacancy risk with the project 'Tilia' in Gullegem. With respect to the projects in the initial investment program, the risk lies with the counterparty. The Company receives the ground rent, whether or not a certain vacancy exists. For the new projects as well, the Company tries to shift this risk entirely or for a large part to the counterparty. The vacancy rate for the project 'Tilia' is therefore negligible in the entire portfolio. On 31 December 2018, there were no vacancies for the Tilia Project.

At the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company on 29 May 2019 the proposal will be made to distribute a total gross dividend for the financial year 2018 of €13,912,448.40 or €0.72 per share (subject to a reduced withholding tax of 15%). Net this amounts to a dividend of €0.61 per share. This proposal corresponds to the forecasts that the Company has communicated in its reporting since the beginning of the financial year.
This represents an increase of 5.88% compared to the dividend paid over the previous financial year. The pay-out ratio is then 115.89% at statutory level and 83.54% at consolidated level.
In accordance with article 13 of the RREC Decree, the minimum dividend payment for the 2018 financial year is €9,603,784.50. In the event of a positive net result for the financial year, this is the minimum amount to be distributed as a remuneration for the capital, i.e. 80% of the corrected result less the decrease in debt levels during the financial year.
The following allocation will be proposed to the ordinary general meeting on 29 May 2019:
| number of shares with dividend rights | 19,322,845 | |
|---|---|---|
| remuneration of the capital | €13,912,448,40 | |
| gross dividend per share (1) | €0.72 | |
| gross yield compared to the market capitalisation on 31 December 2018 | 3.56% | |
| net dividend per share | €0.612 | |
| net yield compared to the market capitalisation on 31 December 2018 | 3.03% | |
(1) Gross dividend after deduction of the 15% withholding tax.
Upon approval of this profit distribution by the ordinary general meeting, a gross dividend of €0.72 per share will be paid, corresponding to a gross yield of 3.56% compared to the share price on 31 December 2018. This dividend is subject to a withholding tax rate of 15%, resulting in a net dividend of €0.612. This means a net return of 3.03%. The dividend will be payable as from 4 June 2019.
The debt ratio is calculated in accordance with Section 13, paragraph 1, bullet 2 of the GVV-KB (Royal Decree regarding Regulated Real Estate Companies) and amounts to 45.70% as at 31 December 2018. In view of the fact that Care Property Invest's debt ratio does not exceed 50%, it is not subject to mandatory submission of a financial plan as referred to in Section 24 of the RREC Royal Decree.
Based on the balance sheet and the overall statement of income of the 2018 financial year, a forecast was prepared to create an outlook for the subsequent financial years.
The following hypotheses are used as points of view:
Based on the afore-mentioned hypotheses, even if the Company realises the next investments, the maximum debt ratio of 65% will not be exceeded on a consolidated basis in 2019. The debt ratio as calculated in accordance with Section 13 of the GVV-KB amounts to 45.70% as at 31 December 2018. The Company forecasts an increase in the debt ratio during the financial year 2019 based on additional investments and further completion of the projects currently in development.
The board of directors evaluates its liquidity needs in due time and may, in order to prevent the maximum debt ratio from being reached, consider a capital increase, which might include a contribution in kind.

(1) With the exception of the project 'Les Terrasses du Bois' in Watermaal-Bosvoorde, for which a long-term 'double net' agreement was concluded. For this project, the risk of the maintenance costs is incurred by Care Property Invest.
Taking into account the uncertainty of the current economic situation and the impact on Care Property Invest's results, the Company would have no obligation to distribute a compensation for the capital in the event of a negative result. Based on the current contracts, which will on average generate income for another 17.15 years, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company assumes an increase in the distributable result and the dividend payment for the 2019 financial year. The Company's solvency is supported by the stable value of its real estate assets.
For the 2018 financial year, the Company received a total rental income of approximately €25 million. This represents an increase in rental income of approximately 26.5% compared to the 2017 financial year (total rental income for the 2017 financial year amounted to approximately €19.95 million).
The Company expects to receive a rental income of at least €29 million over the 2019 financial year. This results in a net IFRS result per share of minimum €0.87. Care Property Invest intends to pay a gross dividend of €0.77 per share for the 2019 financial year. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this results in a net dividend of €0.65 per share.
