1. Interim management report

1.1. Summary of activities

During the first half of 2017 Cofinimmo pursued its investments in healthcare real estate, mainly in the Netherlands and Germany. The Group acquired several medical office buildings, a care centre for people suffering from mental disorders and a nursing and care home. Construction works of a care centre for people suffering from severe confusion were delivered as well. In Belgium, reconversion works of an office building into a nursing and care home are nearing completion and a new agreement has been signed for major renovation and extension works on another nursing and care home.

As for the office segment, active marketing of vacant space resulted into more than 10 million EUR in gross rental revenues being secured (until the first break option for the tenants) 1 . In the Brussels decentralised area, the company is expanding its Flex Corners® and Lounges® offer in order to respond to increasing tenant demand in terms of flexibility. At the same time, Cofinimmo is conducting the redevelopment works of the Belliard 40 and Arts/Kunst 19H buildings, in the heart of Brussels, and preparing the repositioning of the Souverain/Vorst 23-25 site which will be vacated by AXA Belgium in the beginning of August.

Since the beginning of 2017, investments totalled 81 million EUR, of which 57 million EUR in healthcare real estate2 and 22 million EUR in offices. The Group invested 381 million EUR in total since the capital increase of May 2015, of which 237 million EUR in healthcare real estate1 and 135 million EUR in offices.

41 % of the 2016 dividends have been paid in new shares in the first half of 2017, thus reinforcing Cofinimmo's shareholders' equity by 33 million EUR. The Group's debt ratio amounts to 45.0 % at 30.06.2017. The company renewed multiple credit lines, bringing the average global debt maturity to 5.0 years at the end of June 2017. The average cost of debt over the first half of 2017 was 2.0 %.

The net result from core activities - Group share* was 69.3 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to 60.0 million EUR at 30.06.2016. The difference is mainly due to an increase in rental income between these two dates resulting from acquisitions made in 2016 and 2017. Per share, these figures amount to 3.25 EUR at 30.06.2017 and 2.86 EUR at 30.06.2016, with the number of shares entitled to share in the result increasing from 20,984,249 to 21,308,500. The net result amounts to 65.2 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to 34.6 million EUR at 30.06.2016, or 3.06 EUR per share at 30.06.2017 and 1.65 EUR per share at 30.06.2016.

In view of these results, taking into account a committed investment pipeline of 228 million EUR over the period 01.07.2017 – 31.12.2019 and barring any unforeseen events that may arise, the Cofinimmo Group confirms the forecasts for the 2017 financial year of a net result from core activities - Group share of 6,49 EUR per share and a gross dividend of 5,50 EUR per ordinary share.

Their delivery is expected to take place before the end of 2020. Cofinimmo will subsequently sign a 20-year 'triple net' lease agreement with Senior Living Group, which will be indexed annually. The expected initial rental yield is 6.0 %. The total surface of the Zonneweelde nursing and care home will amount to 17,100 m² after redevelopment, i.e an additional surface area of 5,577 m².

- Opening of a Lounge® in The Gradient building

Cofinimmo opened the second 'Lounge® by Cofinimmo' in June 2017. Thanks to the success of the Lounge® at the Park Lane Business Park (Brussels Periphery), the Group decided to implement the concept in its building The Gradient (Decentralised Brussels). The Lounge® workspaces are designed to meet office tenants' current expectations in terms of flexibility, connectivity and friendly atmosphere. They have access to quality equipment: meeting rooms, coffee corner, catering, relaxation areas, … The spaces are managed on site by the Cofinimmo 'Community Manager'.

In parallel, the Group opened three new Flex Corners® in the buildings Omega Court (Decentralised Brussels), Souverain/Vorst 36 (Decentralised Brussels) and Waterloo Office Park J (Brussels Satellites) in the course of the first half of 2017. This flexible lease solution is now offered in seven assets of the Group portfolio. Its objective is to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups and temporary structures, seeking small office spaces for a specific period.

PRESS RELEASE

- Souverain/Vorst 23-25 site

The tenant AXA Belgium will vacate this site in the beginning of August.

The main building Souverain/Vorst 25 was sold to the US Government in April 2016, under the condition precedent that the latter obtains the green light from urban planning authorities with respect to the transfer of its embassies to the Kingdom of Belgium and to the European Union from the city centre to this site.

The Government of the Brussels-Capital Region recently chose to start a procedure to put the site and the existing building on a conservation list. The US Government informed them that the initiative to enlist the existing building onto the conservation list does not coincide with the aim of the US Government to develop its new embassy compound on this location. This development supposes a much smaller, adequately secured building, with a superior energy performance, which would be consistent with a sustainable development policy for the site and its immediate environment. Cofinimmo has been notified of the procedure and intends to advocate its own arguments against the listing of the existing building as "monument" on the conservation list.

The buildings Souverain/Vorst 25, Souverain/Vorst 23 and the Tenreuken plot of land (the last two are intended for new residential projects) are valued conservatively on Cofinimmo's balance sheet given the uncertainty that currently weighs on the repositioning of the site.

- Launch of the redevelopment works of the Arts/Kunst 19H building

The existing building is vacant since the end of January 2017 and will be completely demolished. The new project, which was decided by an architectural competition, includes full-length glass walls and a view on the interior garden from Rue Joseph II-straat. It will offer 8,600 m² of modern, modular office space on eight floors with ceiling heights of nearly three metres. A terrace will also be included on the roof. The Group's objective is to obtain a BREEAM 'Excellent' environmental certification for the project. Works should be completed during the fourth quarter of 2019. The budget of the works is estimated at 24.2 million EUR, including VAT.

Property of distribution networks

  • Investments in 2017: 1.0 million EUR
  • Divestments in 2017: 2.5 million EUR
  • Property of distribution networks portfolio at 30.06.2017: 551.7 million EUR

Main accomplishments:

  • Sale of nine pubs/restaurants from the Pubstone portfolio

The Cofinimmo Group sold nine pubs/restaurants from the Pubstone portfolio for a total of 2.0 million EUR in the course of the first half of 2017. An average gain of 54.6 % was made on the sales, compared to the asset investment value on 31.12.2016. As at 30.06.2017, 31 out of the total portfolio of 997 assets are for sale because they are vacant (15) or will be vacated before the end of the year (16), as AB Inbev exercises its right to end the lease of these buildings.

  • Sale of an insurance agency from the Cofinimur I portfolio

The Cofinimmo Group sold an insurance agency from the Cofinimur I portfolio, located in Toulouse, in the course of the first half of 2017. The sale price amounted to 0.5 million EUR, higher than the investment value of the asset on 31.12.2016.

1.4. Financial resources management

1.4.1. Financing

Main accomplishments:

Schedule of long-term financial commitments1 (in million EUR)

The maturities of the long-term financial commitments are staggered between now and 2026. After deducting the full coverage of outstanding commercial papers and the renovation and investment programme, debts maturing in 2017 and 2018 are fully refinanced, as well as 74 % of those maturing in 2019.

Consolidated debt ratios

Cofinimmo met all financial debt ratio limits on 30.06.2017. Cofinimmo's regulatory debt ratio2 stands at 45.0 % (versus 43.7 % at 31.12.2016). As a reminder, the statutory maximum debt ratio for Regulated Real Estate Companies is 65 %.

The Loan-to-Value financial debt ratio3 , on the other hand, stood at 45.2 % at 30.06.2017.

When the loan agreements granted to Cofinimmo refer to a debt ceiling, they refer to the regulatory debt ratio and cap it at 60 %.

Debt maturity

Cofinimmo's weighted average debt maturity (excluding short-term commercial paper, which is fully covered by the undrawn portions of long-term credit facilities) comes from 4.8 years at 31.12.2016 to 5.0 years at 30.06.2017.

1 The schedule includes the capital from financial commitments and excludes interest payments (generally on a monthly or quarterly basis).

2 The regulatory ratio calculated in accordance with the regulations on RRECs: Financial and other debts / Total assets.

3 The ratio is defined as: Net financial debt/Fair value of the property portfolio and finance lease receivables.

Cost of debt

The average cost of Cofinimmo's debt including bank margins stands at 2.0 % for the first half of 2017, compared to 2.4 % in 2016.

At constant debt, the share of the contracted fixed-rate debt, the floating-rate debt that is hedged through Interest Rate Swap (IRS) contracts and the unhedged floating-rate debt is as follows for the years to come :

Assuming constant debt, at least 70 % of the interest rate risk is covered until the end of 2021.

1.4.3. Currency risk hedging

Cofinimmo signed a sales contract for the Souverain/Vorst 25 building in a foreign currency (USD) in 2016. The sale is conditioned on the buyer obtaining administrative authorisations. In order to hedge against changes in the foreign currency exchange rate against the euro, Cofinimmo contracted two put options for this currency against euros, which guarantee a minimum price for the property in euros, with a cap on the maximum euro amount.

1.4.4. Financial rating

The S&P rating agency confirmed Cofinimmo's rating at the end of March 2017: BBB for the long term (stable outlook) and A-2 for the short term. The Group's liquidity has been rated 'strong', based on high liquidity available on credit lines.

1.8. Corporate governance

With respect to corporate governance, Cofinimmo seeks to maintain the highest standards and continuously reassesses its methods in relation to the principles, practices and requirements of the field. Cofinimmo's corporate governance practice is fully compliant with the related Belgian Code1 . A detailed description of the various Committees and their respective roles and members is available in the 'Corporate Governance Statement' chapter of the 2016 Annual Financial Report.

1.8.1. Authorisation to increase the share capital

The Extraordinary General Meeting of 01.02.2017 conferred the Board of Directors a new authorisation, valid for five years from the publication date of 17.02.2017 in the annexes of the Belgian Official Gazette (Moniteur belge/Belgisch Staatsblad) of the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting, to increase the share capital, in one or more times, up to a maximum amount of:

  • a) 1,127,000,000 EUR if the capital increase to be performed is a capital increase by subscription in cash with the possibility for shareholders of the company to exercise a preferential subscription right;
  • b) 225,000,000 EUR for all other forms of capital increase not referred to above.

it being understood that in any case, the share capital may never be increased as part of the authorised capital beyond 1,127,000,000 EUR in total, for a period of five years from the publication of the decision.

SCRL Deloitte Company Auditors, represented by Mr. Rik Neckebroeck, Statutory Auditor, having its registered office at 1930 Zaventem, Luchthaven Nationaal 1J, until the end of the Ordinary General Meeting to be held in 2020. Moreover, it accepted the proposal to set the Statutory Auditor's annual fee at 140 000 EUR1 , excluding VAT and disbursements, to be indexed annually based on the health index.

1 This amount includes fees for special assignments known at the date of the General Meeting.

1.10. Sustainable development and management policy

1.10.1. Publications

Cofinimmo published a Sustainability Report on 07.04.2017 for the third consecutive year. The company received an external certification that the Report complies with the GRI Standards1 guidelines at Core level.

At the same time, Cofinimmo published its 2016 consumption data of electricity and gas for 100 % of its office portfolio (compared to 97 % in 2015), 64 % of its healthcare real estate portfolio (compared to 43 % in 2015) and 2 % of its pubs/restaurants portfolio (compared to 1 % in 2015), as well as water consumption and waste figures, using the performance indicators recommended by EPRA2 .

1.10.2. Certifications and environment labels

The external audit on the management system's operational application did not raise any remarks, enabling the company to renew the ISO 14001:2004 certification.

In the beginning of March 2017, Cofinimmo obtained the BREEAM In-Use 'Good' or 'Very Good' certificate for the operation of six office buildings. On 10.04.2017, the Group obtained the BREEAM Interim – Design Stage 'Excellent' certificate for the Arts/Kunst 19H office building renovation project. The objective of this certification system is twofold: on the one hand, to continually improve its buildings' environmental performance, and, on the other hand, to increase their commercial competitiveness.

1.10.3. Mobility

The first vehicles ordered as part of Cofinimmo's new mobility policy are in circulation as from January 2017. Note that this policy, which includes an eco-score and promotes alternative means of transportation, was put in place by the Company at the end of 2016. Cofinimmo hopes that this initiative will encourage its personnel to use alternative modes of transportation, thus reducing its vehicle fleet's CO2 emissions.

1.10.4. Innovation

In the beginning of June 2017, Cofinimmo closed the contracting phase for the Arts/Kunst 19H office building renovation project in Brussels. This project will be one of the buildings financed by the Green & Social Bonds issued by Cofinimmo at the end of December 2016. The Group decided to use Building Information Modelling (BIM), a new tool for building development, for this project. This software is supported by one or more intelligent and structured parametric virtual 3D models which are used throughout the building's life span. These models create a virtual building image before its actual construction in order to prevent construction errors.

PRESS RELEASE

1.11. Risk management

The main risks to which Cofinimmo is exposed in its activities are described below. For a more detailed description of risk management, please refer to pages 2 to 9 of the 2016 Annual Financial Report.

Risks associated with the overall economic climate

Cofinimmo's activities are partially linked to the overall economy. Slowing economic growth or prosperity indirectly impacts occupancy rate as well as rents. It can also increase the risk of tenant default.

The impact on Cofinimmo's results is, however, mitigated by the duration of its lease agreements (as at 30.06.2017, the average period until the first break option is 10.0 years), the diversification of its tenant portfolio (536 clients), and the fact that over 20 % of its office tenants are from the public sector. Moreover, healthcare real estate and sale and leaseback transactions with AB InBev and MAAF are less sensitive to the overall economic environment than the office segment.

Vacancy risk

99.2 % of the Cofinimmo healthcare real estate portfolio is leased primarily for the long term: in general, for an initial period of 12 years in France, 15 years in the Netherlands, 25 or 30 years in Germany and 27 years in Belgium. At 30.06.2017, the average residual lease length is 4.2 years in France, 12.4 years in the Netherlands, 19.6 years in Belgium and 24.8 years in Germany.

The Brussels office market has faced a significant rental vacancy since 2008, although it seems to decrease slowly. At 30.06.2017, the vacancy rate in Brussels stood at 9.3 % (source : CBRE). Cofinimmo's office portfolio vacancy rate was 11.7 % at 30.06.2017. Cofinimmo actively manages its customers to limit vacancy and tenant turnover in the office segment. An internal team is responsible for the property management and with quickly resolving tenant complaints. The sales team maintains regular contact with existing customers and actively prospects new tenants.

At 30.06.2017, 98.7 % of the cafés/restaurants were leased to AB InBev for an average minimum residual lease length of 13.3 years. Moreover, 97.6 % of the insurance agencies were leased to MAAF or GMF for an average residual lease period of 4.9 years.

PRESS RELEASE

Risk of tenant insolvency

Cofinimmo is exposed to the risk of tenant default. At 30.06.2017, the five most important clients accounted for 50.2 % of its rental income. Of the top three most important tenants of office space, two belong to the public sector.

An advance deposit or bank guarantee of six months' rent is usually required from non-public sector tenants.

Investment and development risk

Cofinimmo does limited development for its own account with a ceiling of no more than 10 % maximum of the fair value of the portfolio.

When reviewing investment projects, Cofinimmo makes a number of estimates with respect to economic, market and other conditions, including estimates of the value or potential value of the real estate asset and its potential return on investment. The estimates may be incorrect, which would make the Cofinimmo investment policy unsuitable, resulting in negative consequences for Cofinimmo's income, its operating results, its financial conditions and its prospects.

Prior to acquiring a building, Cofinimmo first carries out an internal evaluation to determine a price for the building with a view to its long-term operation. In addition, an independent real estate expert assesses each real estate asset acquisition or sale.

Risk related to the deterioration of buildings and major renovations

Cofinimmo regularly maintains and renovates its buildings to ensure that they remain attractive for tenants. The current trend toward increased durability and energy savings in both construction and building use can require additional investments.

Risk associated with changes in the fair value of buildings

Cofinimmo's real estate portfolio is valued quarterly by independent real estate experts. At 30.06.2017, a 1 % change in the value of the real estate assets would have an impact of approximately 34.3 million EUR on the net result and of 1,61 EUR on the intrinsic value of the share. It would also have an impact of about 0.5 % on the debt ratio.

PRESS RELEASE

Liquidity and financing risk

Diversified sources of financing, a stable and extensive bank pool with high financial ratings (Cofinimmo has 11 banking partners) and a balanced allocation of loan maturities staggered over time enable Cofinimmo to obtain the most favourable financial conditions.

Cofinimmo's ability to borrow is also limited by the maximum debt ratio allowed by regulations governing RRECs (65 %) and by the limit agreed with its bankers in credit documents (60 %). At 30.06.2017, the consolidated regulatory debt ratio was 45.0 %.

Cofinimmo has a medium-term financial plan which is reviewed in full every spring and updated during the year with each significant new acquisition or sale of real estate assets. The purpose of the plan is to position Cofinimmo's consolidated regulatory debt ratio at a suitable level based on an assessment by the Board of Directors of the risks inherent to the assets and the current portfolio of leases.

Interest rate risk

Cofinimmo obtains a significant portion of its financial debt at a floating interest rate. Derivative instruments are used to hedge related financing costs against increases in interest rates. These instruments include specifically Interest Rate Swaps.

Given existing hedging mechanisms and a constant level of debt, a 0.5 % increase or decrease in interest rates would not entail any significant change in financial charges for the current year.

The interest-rate derivative instruments are assessed at market value at the end of each quarter. Future changes in rates will therefore have an impact on the net asset value and the result of the period.

Exchange risk

Cofinimmo concluded a real estate transaction in 2016 which creates a currency risk. In order to hedge this potential currency risk Cofinimmo signed derivatives contracts that allow the company to protect itself against an adverse evolution in currency rates.

The sensitivity of the intrinsic value of both options to the exchange rate movements is not material.

PRESS RELEASE

1.12. Events after 30.06.2017

Acquisition of a medical office building in the Netherlands

In July 2017, the Cofinimmo Group acquired a medical office building in Tiel (province of Gelderland, the Netherlands) for 7.6 million EUR. The asset, built in 2009, has an aboveground surface area of 4,279 m². It is fully leased under 'double net' leases to several professional healthcare providers who receive their patients on site. The weighted average residual lease length is 5.9 years. The initial rental yield is 6.6 %.

This is the fifth medical office building acquired by Cofinimmo in the Netherlands in 2017. There are currently nine of this type of assets in the Group's healthcare real estate portfolio, with a total market value of nearly 45 million EUR.

Signature of a new lease agreement for the Loi/Wet 34 office building

In July 2017, Cofinimmo concluded a new lease agreement for 2,490 m² in the Loi/Wet 34 office building, located in the heart of the European District in Brussels. Note that the company acquired this asset in August 2016. 53 % of the rental space were to be vacated by 31.03.2017. Thanks to active marketing, these vacated spaces are already re-let.

No other major events took place between 30.06.2017 and the time of writing of this Half-Year Financial Report.

PRESS RELEASE

2. Summary financial statements

The summary financial statements were prepared using accounting methods that comply with IFRS standards as adopted by the Belgian Royal Decree of 13.07.2014 on Regulated Real Estate Companies and in particular the IAS 34 standard for interim financial reporting.

The information included in the interim summary financial statements is not as comprehensive as that in the annual financial statements. Consequently, these interim summary financial statements must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements.

The accounting principles and methods used to draw up these interim summary financial statements are identical to those used to prepare the annual financial statements for the financial year 2016.

As for IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective 01.01.2018), IFRS 9 - Financial instruments (effective 01.01.2018) and IFRS 16 – Leases (effective 01.01.2019), preliminary analyses show that their application will not have a material impact on the Group's accounts. For more information regarding the potential impact of these standards on the Group's accounts, see appendix 4.1.

PRESS RELEASE

Comments on the consolidated income statement – analytical form

Net rental income was 104.2 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to 99.8 million EUR at 30.06.2016, i.e. a 4.4 % increase mainly due to the acquisition of healthcare assets in the Netherlands and Germany in 2016 and 2017, as well as the acquisition of five office buildings in 2016. On a like-for-like basis, gross rental revenues are stable (+0,03 %) between 30.06.2016 and 30.06.2017: the positive effect of lease indexations (+1.46 %) and new lettings (+1.65 %) slightly exceeded the negative impact of departures (-2.84 %) and renegotiations (-0.24 %).

Direct operating costs (taxes and charges on rented properties not recovered, taxes on refurbishment not recovered, net redecoration costs, technical costs, commercial costs, taxes and charges on unlet properties) increased by 0.6 million EUR between 30.06.2016 and 30.06.2017.

  • Taxes on refurbishment not recovered increased by 0.4 million EUR between these two dates as a result of the start of redevelopment works on the Woluwe 106-108 and Arts/Kunst 19H office buildings.
  • Redecoration costs, net of tenant compensation for damages were 0.3 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to -0.8 million EUR at 30.06.2016. This positive difference is mainly due to the receipt of a rental indemnity of 1.6 million EUR in the course of the first quarter of 2017 resulting from the acquisition of the Loi/Wet 34 building in 2016. Note that this is a nonrecurrent item already incorporated in the results forecast for the 2017 financial year.
  • Commercial costs were -0.8 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to -0.5 million EUR at 30.06.2016. This increase is primarily the result of a technical audit on the French healthcare assets in order to evaluate the impact of the entry into force of the Pinel Law1 , expenses paid to third parties for the management of the medical office buildings in the Netherlands, as well as property management of the German assets.
  • The acquisition in 2016 of five office buildings with some vacant space, the departure of a major tenant of the Bourget 42 building and the completion of renovation works on the Souverain/Vorst 24 building resulted in a 1.2 million EUR increase in taxes and charges on unlet properties between 30.06.2016 and 30.06.2017.

The decrease in corporate management costs between the first half of 2016 and 2017 (1.6 million EUR) is mainly due to various non-recurrent expenses incurred during the first half of 2016 (in particular costs related to the study of various investment cases).

The decrease in net interest charges between 30.06.2016 and 30.06.2017 (1.9 million EUR) is due to refinancing transactions at favourable conditions in 2016 and 2017 and the positive effect of the restructuring of convertible bonds in 2016. The average cost of debt fell from 2.7 % to 2.0 % between these two dates.

Taxes decreased by 0.9 million EUR between 30.06.2016 and 30.06.2017 as a result from the recuperation of various taxes in the course of the first half of 2017 (non-recurrent elements).

The net result from core activities - Group share was 69.3 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to 60.0 million EUR at 30.06.2016, i.e. a 15.5 % increase. Per share, these figures amount to 3.25 EUR et 2.86 EUR respectively.

1 This Law stipulates that some taxes and charges, because of their nature, cannot be charged to the tenants.

PRESS RELEASE

As for the result on financial instruments, the 'change in fair value of financial instruments' item amounts to 12.9 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to -34.4 million EUR at 30.06.2016. This positive evolution is the result of the increase in interest rates between these two dates.

Within the result on the portfolio, the changes in the fair value of investment properties amounted to -7.9 million EUR at 30.06.2017 compared to 11.7 million EUR at 30.06.2016. The value appreciation of healthcare assets did not compensate the value depreciation of certain office buildings. On a like-forlike basis, the fair value of investment properties is overall stable compared to 30.06.2016. The 'Other result on the portfolio' item decreases from -0,9 million EUR to -3,5 million EUR between 30.06.2016 and 30.06.2017 because of the recognition of a tax provision regarding the Group's French portfolio in 2017 (non-recurrent element)1.

The net result - Group share amounted to 65.2 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared to 34.6 million EUR at 30.06.2016. Per share, the figures were 3.06 EUR at 30.06.2017 and 1.65 EUR at 30.06.2016.

1 This is a deferred tax on the unrealised gain of the investment properties owned by Cofinimmo's French branch. This branch would be subject to a French withholding tax if this gain were to be realised.

Comments on the consolidated balance sheet

The investment value of the property portfolio1 , as determined by the independent real estate experts, amounts to 3,567.0 million EUR at 30.06.2017, compared with 3,505.0 million EUR at 31.12.2016. The fair value included in the consolidated balance sheet, in application of the IAS 40 standard, is obtained by deducting the transaction fees from the investment value. At 30.06.2017, fair value reached 3,425.1 million EUR, compared to 3,366.3 million EUR at 31.12.2016.

The item 'Participations in associated companies and joint ventures' refers to Cofinimmo's 51 % stake in Cofinea I SAS (nursing homes in France). The 'Minority interests' item includes the mandatory convertible bonds issued by the Cofinimur I SA subsidiary (MAAF/GMF distribution network in France), as well as the minority interests of the subsidiaries Aspria Maschsee, Aspria Uhlenhorst, Pubstone, Pubstone Group, Pubstone Properties and Rheastone.

The distribution of 41 % of the 2016 dividends in new ordinary shares for a total amount of 33.2 million EUR resulted in an increase in the 'Capital' item for 17.1 million EUR and an increase in the 'Share premiums' item for 16.1 million EUR.

The 'Provisions' item increased from 16.9 million EUR to 26.8 million EUR between 31.12.2016 and 30.06.2017 due to reclassification of a provision regarding the Antwerp courthouse. This provision was previously offset against the finance lease receivable.

2.7.Notes to the interim summary financial statements

Note 1. General information

Cofinimmo SA/NV (the 'Company') is a public RREC (Regulated Real Estate Company) organized under Belgian law with registered offices at 1200 BRUSSELS (boulevard de la Woluwe/Woluwedal 58).

Cofinimmo SA/NV's interim summary financial statements, which closed on 30.06.2017, cover the Company and its subsidiaries ('the Group'). The scope of consolidation has changed since 31.12.2016 (see Note 14).

The interim summary financial statements were closed by the Board of Directors on 27.07.2017. The statutory auditor Deloitte, Réviseurs d'Entreprises, represented by Mr. Rik Neckebroeck, completed their limited audit and confirmed that they had no reservations with respect to the accounting information presented in the half-year financial report and that it corresponded to the financial statements closed by the Board of Directors.

Note 2. Significant accounting methods

The consolidated half-year financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS standards (International Financial Reporting Standards) as executed by the Belgian Royal Decree of 13.07.2014 on Regulated Real Estate Companies and in accordance with the IAS 34 standard for interim financial reporting.

The information included in the interim summary financial statements is not as comprehensive as that in the annual financial statements. Consequently, these interim summary financial statements must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements.

The accounting principles and methods used to draw up these interim financial statements are identical to those used to prepare the annual financial statements for FY 2016.

Some of the figures in this half-year financial report have been rounded and, consequently, the overall totals in the report may differ slightly from the exact arithmetical sums of the preceding figures.

Note 3. Operational and financial risk management

The risks to which the Group was exposed at 30.06.2017 were substantially the same as those identified and described in the 2016 Annual Financial Report. Risk was managed using the same methods and the same criteria during the half-year as during the previous financial year.

Categories of financial instruments

Fair value is estimated:

  • At book value for trade receivables and debt, loans and variable rate loans and debt;
  • Based on future cash flows discounted at adapted market rates for lease-finance receivables;
  • By reference to a price quoted on an active market for listed bonds1 (retail bonds and private placements).

Financial instruments designated as being at fair value through the net result

The financial instruments that are valued, subsequent to initial recognition, at fair value on the balance sheet, are grouped in three levels (1 to 3), based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for similar assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from data other than quoted prices included in level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. data derived from prices);
  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include data for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable data).

Level 1

Convertible bonds issued by Cofinimmo are level 1.

Level 2

The financial assets and liabilities as well as the financial derivatives owned at fair value by Cofinimmo are all level 2, except for the convertible bonds issued by Cofinimmo, which are level 1.

Their fair value is established as follows:

  • Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
  • The fair value of financial assets and liabilities, particularly derivatives owned at fair value, with standard terms and conditions and negotiated on active and liquid markets is established based on stock market prices available on Bloomberg.
  • Fair value of participations in associated companies and joint ventures Fair value is determined based on the share in the associated company of which all the assets are valued at their fair value.
  • Fair value of finance lease receivables
  • Fair value of finance lease receivables is calculated based on the discounted cash flow method in accordance with the applicable yield curves obtained on the basis of the market interest rates available on Bloomberg.

1 The listed bonds relate to convertible bonds and Mandatory Convertible Bonds.

Level 3

Cofinimmo does not currently hold any level 3 financial instruments.

There were no asset transfers between the different fair value categories.

A description of financial risks is available in chapter '1.11. Risk management' of this Half-Year Financial Report.

4. Appendices

4.1. Impact IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 standards

Cofinimmo SA/NV did not apply the following new standards, interpretations and amendments that have been published but are not yet in force:

IFRS 9 - Financial instruments (effective 01.01.2018)

IFRS 9 was finalised and published by IASB in July 2014 and endorsed by the EU in November 2016. IFRS 9 contains the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, the impairment of financial assets, and the general hedge accounting. IFRS 9 will replace most parts of IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Based on an analysis of Cofinimmo SA/NV's situation as at 30.06.2017, IFRS 9 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements

With respect to the impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost, including trade receivables and finance lease receivables, the initial application of the expected credit loss model under IFRS 9 will result in earlier recognition of credit losses compared to the incurred loss model currently applied under IAS 39. Considering the relatively limited amount of trade and finance lease receivables combined with the low associated credit risk, Cofinimmo SA/NV does however not anticipate a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The convertible bond does not meet the requirements to qualify as equity instrument in full or in part. The instrument contains embedded derivatives. In order to facilitate this instrument's valuation, Cofinimmo decided to value it at fair value. Changes in fair value are booked under the income statement.

Residual change in fair value of the convertible bond attributable to changes in credit risk will be booked under shareholders' equity; that which is attributable to changes in market conditions will be booked under the income statement.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective 01.01.2018)

IFRS 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Upon its effective date IFRS 15 will replace IAS 18 which covers revenue arising from the sale of goods and the rendering of services and IAS 11 which covers construction contracts and the related interpretations.

IFRS 15 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of Cofinimmo SA/NV as lease contracts are excluded from the scope of the standard and represent the main source of income for Cofinimmo SA/NV. The principles of IFRS 15 are still applicable to the nonlease components that may be contained in lease contracts or in separate agreements, such as maintenance related services charged to the lessee. Considering however that such non-lease components are relatively limited in amount and mostly represent services recognised over time under both IFRS 15 and IAS 18, Cofinimmo SA/NV does not anticipate a material impact in that respect.

IFRS 16 – Leases (effective 01.01.2019)

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. It will supersede IAS 17 – Leases and related interpretations upon its effective date. IFRS 16 has not yet been endorsed at the EU level. Significant changes to lessee accounting are introduced by IFRS 16, with the distinction between operating and finance leases removed and assets and liabilities recognised in respect of all leases (subject to limited exceptions for short-term leases and leases of low value assets).

In contrast to lessee accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17, and continues to require a lessor to classify a lease either as an operating lease or a finance lease.

As Cofinimmo SA/NV is almost exclusively acting as lessor, IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In the limited cases where Cofinimmo SA/NV is the lessee in contracts classified as operating leases under IAS 17 and not subject to the IFRS 16 exemptions (e.g. lease of cars, property used by the Group), a right-of-use asset and related liability will be recognised on the consolidated balance sheet.

Report on the review of the consolidated interim financial information of Cofinimmo SA/NV for the six-month period ended 30 June 2Ol7

In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the consolidated interim financial information. This consolidated interim financial information comprises the consolidated condensed balance as at 30 June 20!7, the consolidated condensed income statement, the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated condensed statement of changes in equity and the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the period of six months then ended, as well as selective notes 1 to15.

Report on the consolidated interim financial information

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial information of Cofinimmo SA/NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

The consolidated condensed balance shows total assets of 3 724 million EUR and the consolidated condensed income statement shows a consolidated profit (group share) for the period then ended of 65 million EUR.

The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated interim financial information.

Conclusion

Based on our rev¡ew, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information of Cofinimmo SA/NV has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
