Recently acquired property Uniq in Vilnius

Eastnine's property portfolio will continue to grow in offices and logistics

Eastnine has acquired two office properties in Riga and Vilnius, respectively. The investment strategy has been broadened and now includes the acquisition of logistics properties holding the same high standards as our office properties. We have increased the capital base available by successfully issuing a green bond, which further contributes to future growth opportunities for the property portfolio.

Positive quarter

Rental income is at its highest level ever, and the net operating income as well as the profit from property management increased during the second quarter. Cash flow from operating activities as well as the profit from property management per share developes in a positive direction, which is a natural consequence of the growth of the property portfolio and improved efficiency. The employees of our tenants, which have to a considerable degree been working from home during the pandemic following regulatory instructions, were gradually returning to their offices before the vacation season, and there are reasons to believe that this trend will continue after the summer. Quarantine restrictions were suspended at the beginning of July, simplifying business travel as well as showings of vacant premises. Net leasing was negative during the period, largely due to Danske Bank having decided, as expected, not to renew its tenancy in the 3Bures-1,2 property. Danske Bank will vacate their premises by 31 July. We have signed twelve new lease agreements during the spring, of which seven have moved in by the end of June, and the remainder expected to move in during the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. The rent level was somewhat higher than existing agreements.

New property acquisitions

In the second quarter, Eastnine acquired the office properties Zala 1 in Riga and Uniq in Vilnius. The properties, which are fully let, complementary to our existing portfolio, both commercially and geographically, enabling us to effectively manage them. The properties were taken into possession in the end of May and middle of June, respectively, meaning that we will see the full impact on earnings from the properties during the third quarter of 2021.

New business concept and broader investment direction

Eastnine's Board has decided to broaden the Company's investment focus so as to, in addition to first-class office properties, also include prime logistics properties. As a natural consequence of this extension, the geographical focus will be on the best locations in the Baltics, as the best localisation of logistics properties is not always in the capital cities. E-commerce has become considerably more important in the Baltics, and so too has the interest in logistics properties. The diversification results in a sustained high yield, but at a lower risk level. The yield requirement for logistics properties in the Baltics follows the same downward trend as we have observed in Sweden. Still, the yield level is higher for logistics properties than for offices,

and the yield on both types of properties is considerably higher than that in Sweden. The new investment approach improves Eastnine's growth opportunities.

Architectural competitions for upcoming projects

White arkitekter and ARHIS arhitekti were in June judged to be the winners of Eastnine's architectural competition to deliver a new vision for the Kimmel quarter in Riga. All new development in Riga's historical centre requires that an architectural competition, open to any participant, be held. Eastnine's vision for the architectonic sketch design competition was to transform the previous Kimmel Riga brewery into a new central meeting place, not just including offices but also cafés, restaurants, shops, cultural spaces and green rooms. The area, which will comprise around 38,000 sq.m., is to be friendly to pedestrians and cyclists, include green areas and require as little transportation as possible.

At the end of April, we also announced an open, international architectural competition for 3Bures-4, which will be located adjacent to the other 3Bures properties in Vilnius. The competition is due to be completed during the third quarter.

First green bond

At the beginning of July, Eastnine issued its first bond which naturally, given our sustainable business concept, was green. The issue amounted to EUR 45m with a term of three years. The capital will be invested according to Eastnine's green framework, which was rated Dark Green by Cicero and includes inter alia green, sustainability-certified buildings holding at least a LEED Platinum or BREEAM Excellent certification or equivalent, and high energy use scores. The bond means that we broaden our capital base, which is important for the future growth within both offices and logistics.

Cash flow from operating activities as well as the profit from property management per share developed in a positive direction, which is a

natural consequence of the growth of the property portfolio and improved efficiency.

Market

Q2

In the Baltics the pandemic situation improved significantly during the second quarter. Restrictions has been eased up and economic growth has picked up. The rental market is robust at the same time as transaction activity has accelerated, at a record high of EUR 640m since the turn of the year.

Market development

In the Baltics the pandemic situation improved significantly during second quarter. The spread of infection fell from high levels, vaccinations have been started and the countries have gradually been able to release restrictions, Lithuania already in April and Latvia somewhat later. Growth is, throughout the eurozone, estimated to make a clear turn upwards during the second half of 2021, driven by pent-up demand and improved sentiment. Real GDP growth in 2021 is, by OECD, estimated to increase by 3.7 per cent in Lithuania and 3.2 per cent in Latvia, respectively. Inflation is expected to rise to 1.8 per cent and 1.2 per cent, respectively.

Rental market

The trends from the first quarter held steady throughout the second quarter. The demand for offices is still healthy in Vilnius, vacancy rates remain at a about eight per cent, and the rent level is stable. During the first quarter a record high level of leasing of newly developed and completed offices, 31,000 sq.m. A considerable motive force is the growth of employment in the shared services sector, which expanded by five per cent in 2020, corresponding to 900 new jobs. Several new establishments were announced in Vilnius in the second quarter, among others the game developer Wargaming which moved into 5,000 sq.m. of the Quadrum complex, and the consulting giant Accenture which plans to open a global shared service office in Vilnius.

In Riga, demand is weaker and the vacancy rate on the market was essentially unchanged during the quarter, at 18 per cent. The higher level is affected by the completion of a few new, larger office properties with low occupancy rates. The rent level has been stable. Positive for the market, SEB announced in early July that the bank will lease 11,000 sq.m. in the planned office project Gustavs for its shared service centre. The development of the logistics market in the Baltic logistics properties across the Baltics, driven by upgrades and consolidation from older and smaller properties, not to mention the steadily growing e-commerce sector, which has grown considerably during the pandemic. Meanwhile, development activity is high, with projects from developers such as Sirin, Pillar, Piche and VGP. Logistic rent levels are therefore stable, ranging from EUR 4.70 per sq.m. and month in both Riga and Vilnius. The vacancy rate was 4.6 per cent in Riga and non-existent in Vilnius at the end of the first half of the year.

countries is more even. There is good demand for modern

Transaction market

The transaction activity in the Baltics accelerated during the second quarter and the volume amounted to EUR 640m during the first half of the year, which is a doubling compared with the corresponding period last year. The largest property acquisition in the Baltics during the second quarter was Eastnine's acquisition of the office properties Uniq in Vilnius and Zala 1 in Riga, for a total of EUR 35.5m. The properties were sold by the property developer Vastint, owned by the Interogo Foundation, which also includes IKEA. No other office property transactions were registered.

In the logistics segment, the high level of activity continued with East Capital's acquisition in Tallinn and Eften Capital's acquisition in the Lithuanian regional city Panevezys.

Yield requirements in the office sector is considered to be unchanged since the turn of the year, with 5.5 per cent in Vilnius. In Riga and Tallin, the yield requirements has fallen by 0.2 percentage points to 5.8 and 5.9 per cent, respectively, for centrally located properties. The logistics segment has been subject to both higher activity and falling yield requirements on the best properties. According to Collier's assessment, the level was around 7.0 per cent in the Baltics at the end of the period.

The period January-June 2021

Both rental income and the profit from property management increased during the period, due to an expanded property portfolio. Property value has also increased, chiefly due to acquisitions but also due to unrealised value changes. The value of other investments has increased during the period, despite paid dividends during the second quarter.

Rental income

Q2

The income, which is entirely composed of rental income, increased by 18 per cent during the period to EUR 10,552k (8,942), primarily due to a larger property portfolio. Rental discounts have, as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, been granted during the period at an amount of around EUR 90k, corresponding to 0.5 per cent of total annual rent for the premises. Rental income in a comparable portfolio decreased by 6 per cent during the period, mainly due to a higher vacancy rate in Riga. The average rent level amounted at the end of the period to EUR 15.0 per sq.m. per month (14.9). New lease agreements have been signed at an average level of EUR 15.2 per sq.m. per month. The average rent level for newly renegotiated agreements is unchanged and amounted to EUR 13.6 per sq.m. Net leasing was negative and amounted to EUR -707k, refer to the section on Tenants.

Property expenses

Eastnine reports only that fraction of property expenses which is not charged directly to tenants. The lease agreements are mainly triple-net agreements, meaning that the reported expenses are affected by changes in the vacancy rate. Following property acquisitions, the property expenses increased to EUR -984k (-911).

Earnings

Net operating income was EUR 9,538k (8,031), and the surplus ratio amounted to 91 per cent (90). The high surplus ratio is attributable to the fact that a majority of the tenants, in addition to rent, also pay for e.g. electricity, heating, cooling, water and wastewater, as well as repairs, maintenance and property management. The increase in net operating income of 19 per cent is chiefly related to acquisitions.

RENTAL INCOME & PROFIT FROM PROPERTY MGMT

Central administration expenses increased to EUR -2,059k (-1,689), primarily due to one-off expenses during the first quarter. Profit from property management increased by 19 per cent to EUR 5,289k (4,432).

Unrealised value changes in properties amounted to EUR 2,916k (2,584). Unrealised value changes in other investments amounted to EUR 948k (-17,678), of which EUR 861k (-18,406) is attributable to MFG and EUR 87k (728) to the fund investment. Unrealised value changes in derivatives amounted to EUR -361k (-661). Dividends of EUR 3,906k (-) have been received during the period. No value changes have been realised. Profit before tax amounted to EUR 13,421k (-11,323) and the net profit or loss for the period to EUR 11,793k (-12,513).

Segment Reporting

As of 1 January 2021, the segment reporting has changed and now comprises the following segments: Properties in Lithuania, Properties in Latvia and Other investments. The comparative period has been recalculated.

Properties in Lithuania generated a profit from property management of EUR 6,887k (4,963) and a net profit for the period of EUR 9,128k (7,117). Properties in Latvia generated a profit from property management of EUR 520k (1,158) and a net profit for the period of EUR 96k (-263). The earnings from the Latvian segment are affected by higher vacancies than in the comparable period of the previous year.

Other investments generated a net profit for the period of EUR 4,854k (-17,678), of which dividends amounted to EUR 3,906k and unrealised value changes to EUR 948k.

Financing

Q2

Eastnine's activities are primarily financed with equity and interest-bearing liabilities. According to the financing policy, the equity/asset ratio should be at least 35 per cent, while the loan-to-value ratio on properties should not exceed 60 per cent.

Equity amounted to EUR 315,348k (309,942) at the end of the period and the equity/asset ratio to 58 per cent (62). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 199,339k (173,151), of which 9 per cent refers to "green financing". In the second quarter, new bank credits of EUR 29,277k have been raised, of which EUR 19,277k in conjunction with property acquisitions. Two loans of EUR 14,187k and EUR 11,869k, respectively, originally maturing in September 2021 and September 2022, respectively, have been refinanced with the existing creditor, as a result of which the maturation has been extended to 31 December 2024. The loan-to-value ratio on properties amounted to 48 per cent (46) and the net loan-to-value ratio on properties to 43 per cent (40). Over all assets, the loan-to-value ratio amounted to 38 per cent (36) and the net loan-to-value ratio to 35 per cent (31). At the end of the period, unutilised overdraft facilities amounted to EUR 3,000k (3,000).

The average rent level amounted to 2.3 per cent (2.3) at the end of the period. The average fixed interest term was 2.1 years (2.3) and the average capital tie-up period 3.0 years (3.0). All interest-bearing liabilities, except the unutilised overdraft facility, carry variable interest indexed to Euribor 3M, but 73 per cent (75) have been fixed using derivatives.

During the period, repayments have been made amounting to EUR 3,089k. The annual repayment rate according to the agreements amounted to EUR 6,510k, corresponding to 3.3 per cent of the interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the period.

Property portfolio

Eastnine's property portfolio consists of twelve modern office properties in Riga and Vilnius. Two fully let office properties have been acquired during the second quarter, for EUR 35.5m. The property comprises around 10,500 sq.m. and 300 parking spaces. Total lettable area amounted at the end of the period to around 130,700 sq.m. The average age of all properties, excluding the Kimmel development project, amounted to just over eight years. The value has increased by EUR 42.6m, primarily due to acquisitions, to EUR 415m. The rental value amounted to EUR 25.0m (22.8) and the occupancy rate to 92.6 per cent (92.6) by the end of the period.

Vilnius

Eastnine's property portfolio in central Vilnius can be divided into three clusters of office properties. Two of the clusters are concentrated to the business district, along the street Konstitucijos prospektas, north of the river Neris. Nearly all of the class A office properties in Vilnius are located in this central business district. The third cluster is located adjacent to the parliamentary district and includes Eastnine's properties Vertas-1, Vertas-2 and Uniq. Total lettable area amounted to around 108,000 sq.m., corresponding to a market share of around 12 per cent of the office market in the city.

The property portfolio in Vilnius includes site leaseholds as well as property rights. Vertas-1, Vertas-2 and Uniq are held with ownership and other properties as leaseholds. The remaining lease term for the site leaseholds vary between 21 and 79 years. The total property value amounted at the end of the period to EUR 339.0m (311.7).

Riga

Riga does not as yet have a clearly delineated business district, and modern office buildings are being developed in a number of micro-areas. All of Eastnine's office properties in Riga are located in the centre of the city, along Krisjana Valdemara iela, one of the city's most prominent streets, as well as Zala iela. The property portfolio, comprising around 22,700 sq.m. lettable area, is estimated to correspond to an office market share of around four per cent. The properties Kimmel and Alojas Biroji are expected to undergo significant development. In Riga, all properties are held with ownership rights. The total property value amounted at the end of the period to EUR 76.0m (60.7).

Property development

At the end of the period, Eastnine had two development projects, The Pine and Kimmel, both located in Riga. The projects are in the planning stages. As for the development project atthe Pine, located along the Krisjaņa Valdemara iela main street, Eastnine plans to construct the first all-wooden office building in the Baltics. The building will be constructed directly adjacent to an existing building on the Alojas Biroji property and is estimated to comprise 18,000 sq.m. of lettable area. The plan is that the Pine will be one of the finest office properties in the Baltics, both in terms of the sustainability as well as tenant experience, and the property is expected to achieve a climate-neutral operation once it is complete. The Pine is the first office property in the Baltics planned to obtain double sustainability certificates: LEED Platinum for the building itself and WELL which concerns the well-being of the people spending time in it. The final building permit is expected in 2021.

The Kimmel property, comprising a development site in central Riga, previously the site of the eponymous brewery. The site comprises nearly an entire city block along the Krisjana Valdemara iela main street. At present, the site is occupied by around 4,000 sq.m. of buildings which are grade listed, these must be conserved, but may be developed, in addition to an opportunity to develop an estimated further 34,000 sq.m. A demolition permit for the other existing buildings has been received, and demolition began in January 2021.

White arkitekter and ARHIS arhitekti were judged to be the winners of Eastnine's architectural competition to deliver a new vision for the Kimmel quarter in Riga. Eastnine's vision for the architectonic sketch design competition, which took place during the spring of 2021, was to transform the previous Kimmel Riga brewery into a new central meeting place, including offices as well as cafés, restaurants, shops, cultural spaces and green rooms. The area shall be friendly to pedestrians and cyclists with attractive green areas, and require few environmentally taxing transports.

At the end of April Eastnine announced an open, international architectural competition for 3Bures-4, which will be located adjacent to the other 3Bures properties in Vilnius. The competition is expected to be finished in the third quarter.

Value changes in properties

The value of the properties increased during the period to EUR 414,986k (372,400) as a result of acquisitions and investments in existing properties, as well as unrealised value changes. Eastnine has acquired two properties for a total purchase consideration of EUR 38,486k, of which EUR 35,500k is the purchase price, EUR 486k relates to transaction costs and EUR 2,500k is additional purchase considerations, which may be paid in the event of a lease agreement prolongation. Investments in existing properties amounted to EUR 1,184k in existing properties, of which EUR 496k relates to properties that are subject to significant project development.

The unrealised value change of EUR 2,916k, corresponds to 0.8 per cent of opening property values at the beginning of the year. The unrealised positive value change during the period is chiefly due to increased future cash flows, attributable to higher rental income than previously estimated. At the same time, future cash flows attributable to rent losses, as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, has affected valuations negatively.

Investments and divestments

During the period, Eastnine has acquired and taken two fully let office properties into possession, one in Riga and one in Vilnius. Both properties complement Eastnine's existing portfolio well, in each city. The property Zala 1 in Riga, consisting of 3,600 sq.m., is centrally located near Valdemara Centrs and Alojas Biroji, and inlcudes 190 parking spaces. Uniq in Vilnius, consisting 6,900 sq.m. is located next to Vertas-1 and Vertas-2 and includes 110 parking spaces.

Tenants

Q2

Eastnine offers flexible and high-quality office premises in central business locations to tenants, with a considerable focus on matching the location and sustainability of the premises with the Company's own high standards. Several properties have Business Centres, hosting services like a reception during business hours and around-the-clock security guards. Restaurants, dry-cleaning and tailoring services, as well as parking is also available in most of the properties.

Eastnine's tenants are primarily large and stable Nordic companies with international operations. Around 72 per cent of all tenants operate in the Finance and ICT industries. Eastnine, as a landlord, as well as our tenants have strict expectations for sustainable and first-rate offices. In order to meet the demand for modern and efficient office solutions, Eastnine works actively to, inter alia, obtain environmental certifications for its properties.

Danske Bank is the largest tenant with around 31 per cent of total annual rent. The ten largest tenants lease around 82,800 sq.m. for a total annual rent of EUR 14,747k. At the end of the period, the average remaining lease term for all tenants amounted to 3.8 years (5.0), and for the ten largest tenants 4.0 years (5.7).

majority of lease agreements have fixed terms and expire at the end of the term. Agreements may however include clauses conferring a right to the tenant to renew leases and a preferential right conferred to the tenant to renegotiate leased areas and to expand the area under contract when the term is up. An extension, therefore, requires both parties to actively renegotiate.

The rent on all offices leased from Eastnine is due monthly. The average rent level amounted, at the end of the period, to EUR 15.0 per sq.m. per month (14.9). The total rental income under contract, for all tenants and the entire lease terms, amounted to EUR 87.1m, of which 30 per cent expire in 2025 or later.

Lettings

During the period 3,500 sq.m., corresponding to an annual rent of EUR 610k, have been renegotiated. Net leasing, i.e., new agreements less agreements that have expired, was negative at -3,700 sq.m., corresponding to an annual rent of EUR 707k. The single largest expiration related to Danske Bank's lease in 3Bures-1,2, concerning around 4,300 sq.m. Danske Bank will be vacating by 31 July 2021. Renegotiated lease agreements have been signed at unchanged rent levels, i.e., EUR 13.6 per sq.m. per month. For new leases, the average rent level was EUR 15.2 per sq.m.

OCCUPANCY RATE AND SURPLUS RATIO PROPERTY VALUE AND LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO

Market value, property portfolio

The market value amounted at the end of the period to EUR 415.0m (372.4). Unrealised value changes on properties amounted to EUR 2,916k, corresponding to 0.8 per cent of opening property values.

Eastnine values its properties quarterly, with an external valuation taking place at least once over a rolling 12-month period. External and internal valuations are carried out using the same valuation methodology and software, so that the same observable and non-observable input data can be included each quarter. Refer also to note 10 (Investment properties) in the Annual Report 2020 for more information about the valuation model, the assumptions made and property values. As in previous year, external valuations have been carried out by Colliers International Advisors in Latvia and Lithuania.

Valuation model and process

The valuation model is based on the present value of future cash flows calculated for a five or ten-year calculation period with supplements for the present value of the residual value at the end of the calculation period. The cash-flow determinations with a longer calculation period than five years is normally applied to properties with only one or a handful of tenants with long lease terms, where the cash flow is more predictable. The external valuations are carried out in accordance with international valuation standards (IVS 2020). When external valuations are carried out, the properties are inspected on site.

Future cash flows from the property during the calculation period are calculated according to the following model:

+ Rental income, including rent supplements
--------------------------------------------- -- -- -- -- --
  • Operating costs

  • Maintenance costs

Total net operating income

  • Less investments

Total cash flow

Valuation assumptions

Property valuations are based on assessments and assumptions, made at the time of the valuation, of both observable and non-observable input data. Observable data which have a considerable impact on the value are current rent levels, past and budgeted property expenses, determined and known future investments and actual inflation. Non-observable data are yield requirements as well as expected future market rents, vacancies and inflation.

The estimated market rent in the valuations amounted on average to EUR 15.0 per sq.m. The majority of the lease agreements are so-called triple-net leases, which is why property costs chiefly have an effect during vacancies.

Tenant-specific customisations and investments made for new letting is calculated as EUR 180 per sq.m. in Latvia and EUR 190 per sq.m. in Lithuania. Other property investments have been calculated in the interval from 2.0 to 3.0 per cent of rental income, and averaged 2.4 per cent.

The long-term vacancy rate is generally set at 4.5 per cent in the valuation models. The inflation has been considered zero for the nearest year, then to increase to 0.5 per cent in year two, and thereafter to amount to 1.5 per cent. The average discount rate was 7.2 per cent and the weighted average cost of capital in the valuation model is unchanged since the turn of the year at 5.8 per cent.

Current earning capacity

In order to facilitate the assessment of the Company's current position, Eastnine reports on current earning capacity. Earning capacity is a theoretical assessment to describe the Company's current earnings on 30 June 2021.

Earning capacity provides a snapshot

Earning capacity is not to be regarded as a forecast for the coming twelve months, but as a snapshot of the potential earnings Eastnine can generate under given circumstances. It is based on the property portfolio held on the reporting day.

Earning capacity does not take into account an assessment of the development of rent levels, vacancy, property expenses, interest rates, value changes or other factors that may affect earnings.

Eastnine's calculated earning capacity is based on the following assumptions about income and costs:

  • Rental income comprises contracted income including rent supplements, with deductions for any rental discounts, on the reporting day.
  • Property costs (rounded) are based on an assessment of a normal year's operating expenses, maintenance costs, property taxes, site leasehold fees as well as property management expenses.
  • Central administration expenses (rounded) have been calculated based on the existing organisation and the current property portfolio on the reporting day.
  • Financial income and expenses have been calculated based on the interest-bearing liabilities as on the reporting day and the average rent level and other financial income and expenses that are applicable as at the end of the period.

Comments to earning capacity

  • The rental value and occupancy rate has increased during the quarter as a result of the acquisitions of two fully let properties.
  • Higher occupancy rates in comparable properties have reduced the vacancy value.
  • The rental income increase is slightly higher as a percentage of the rental value, while the estimated property expenses are unchanged.
  • Interest expenses increase due to new credits raised relating to acquired properties as well as a new net financing concerning the existing property portfolio.
  • The surplus ratio and the forward-looking yield requirement increased somewhat due to the improved vacancy situation.
