2. Main events during the first quarter of 2016
2.1. Acquisition of a revalidation clinic in Bonn (Germany) for 30 million EUR
On 01.03.2016, the Cofinimmo Group became the owner of the Kaiser Karl revalidation clinic located in Bonn (Germany), all the conditions precedent listed in the agreement signed with the seller in December 2015 having been satisfied.
This 15,500 m² facility, built in 1996 and extended in 2013, is specialised in orthopaedics and offers 150 beds, a pool, a spa, a restaurant, as well as underground parking spaces.
The Cofinimmo Group acquired the asset for 30.0 million EUR1 and leases it to a subsidiary of the German operating group Eifelhöhen-Klinik AG under a 'double net' 25-year lease agreement. The rent will be indexed every three years, upwards only. The initial gross rental yield of this transaction stands at 7.32 %.
2.2. Completed letting of the renovated Guimard 10-12 office building (Brussels CBD)
During the first quarter of 2016, Cofinimmo signed a lease agreement relating to the balance of vacant spaces (10 %) of the Guimard 10-12 office building (Brussels CBD). Hence, the building is now 100 % occupied.
As a reminder, after the European Commission vacated the building in the automn of 2014, it underwent a major renovation : construction of a new entrance lobby over two storeys, renewal of the interior fittings, full insulation of the façades and roofs, upgrade of the technical installations. The works, which budget amounted to 14.8 million EUR, were completed during the third quarter of 2015.

- a second placement of 10 million EUR for 10 years at a floating rate of Euribor 3 months + 148 bps.
In addition, a 100 million EUR credit line was extended for seven years.

Comments on the consolidated income statement – analytical format
The net rental income amounts to 49.3 million EUR as at 31.03.2016, versus 49.6 million EUR as at 31.03.2015. This decrease, which mainly results from the disposal of assets in 2015 (Livingstone II office building and Silverstone portfolio of nursing and care homes), was partially offset by investments realised in healthcare real estate in Germany and the Netherlands and by the letting of the Guimard 10-12 office building in 2015. On a like-for-like basis, gross rental revenues increased by 0.4 % between 31.03.2015 and 31.03.2016.
The direct and indirect operating costs increased significantly between 31.03.2015 and 31.03.2016 for non-recurrent reasons. The increase of technical costs is the result of a one-off charge related to a building of the portfolio. The increase of property management costs relates to expenses incurred for the study of a large investment case which will not be realised, as well as the decrease of asset management fees billed to a third party. The increase of corporate management costs is due to the the fact that the subscription tax of the entire financial year 2016 was booked in the first quarter of the year, whereas it was spread over the four quarters previously (application of the IFRIC 21 standard).
The financial result (excluding IAS 39 impact) amounts to -7.8 million EUR as at 31.03.2016, compared to -9.0 million EUR as at 31.03.2015. The average debt level decreased from 1,587 million EUR as at 31.03.2015 to 1,220 million EUR as at 31.03.2016.
The item 'Revaluation of financial instruments' stands at -33.5 million EUR as at 31.03.2016, versus -29.6 million EUR as at 31.03.2015. It includes a charge related to the restructuring of interest rate hedging instruments for -1.7 million EUR, the revaluation of the hedging instruments which were not restructured for -27.3 million EUR, as well as the revaluation of the convertible bonds for -4.3 million EUR.
The net current result - Group share amounts to -6.9 million EUR as at 31.03.2016, compared to 1.0 million EUR as at 31.03.2015. Per share, these figures stand at -0.33 EUR as at 31.03.2016 and 0.06 EUR as at 31.03.2015. The number of shares entitled to share in the result of the period increased
PRESS RELEASE
from 17,971,494 to 20,980,312 between these two dates, as a result of the capital increase of May 2015.
Within the result on the portfolio, the changes in the fair value of investment properties stand at 7.6 million EUR as at 31.03.2016, compared to -7.0 million EUR as at 31.03.2015. The positive revaluation of the healthcare assets and the renovated Guimard 10-12 office building offset the value depreciation of certain office buildings to be renovated in the near future. On a like-for-like basis, the fair value of the investment properties slightly increased versus 31.12.2015 (+0.2 %).
The net current result - Group share amounts to 0.4 million EUR as at 31.03.2016, compared to -5.3 million EUR as at 31.03.2015. Per share, these figures stand at 0.02 EUR as at 31.03.2016 and -0.29 EUR as at 31.03.2015.
