Item 5. Operating and financial review

Item 5.1. General factors affecting operating and financial results

General factors affecting operating and financial results

The key factors affecting the Group's financial and operating results are discussed below. The Management believes that the following factors and important market trends have significantly affected the Group's results of operations since the end of period covered by the latest published audited financial statements, and the Group expects that such factors and trends will continue to have a significant impact on the Group's results of operations in the future.

Economic conditions in CEE and SEE

The economic crisis may slow down the general economy in the countries, where the Group operates. The economic downturn in those countries may result in reduced demand for property, growth of vacancy rates, and increased competition in the real estate market, which may adversely affect the Group's ability to sell or let its completed projects at their expected yields and rates of return.

The reduced demand for property that, on the one hand, may result in a drop in sales dynamics, and, on the other, an increase in vacancy rates and lower rent revenues from leased space, may significantly impact the results of operations of the Group. Specifically, the Group may be force to change some of its investment plans. Additionally, the Group may not able to develop numerous plans in the countries where it operates.

Real estate market in CEE and SEE

The Group derives the majority of its revenue from operations from rental activities, including rental and service revenue. For the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 and for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017, the Group derived 71% and 75% of its revenues from operations as rental revenue, which greatly depends on the rental rates per sq. m and occupancy rates. The amount the Group can charge for rent largely depends on the property's location and condition and is influenced by local market trends and the state of local economies. The Group's revenue from rent is particularly affected by the delivery of new rent spaces, changes in vacancy rates and the Group's ability to implement rent increases. Rental income is also dependent upon the time of completion of the Group's development projects as well as on its ability to let such completed properties at favorable rent levels. Moreover, for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 and for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017, the Group derived 25% and 25% of its revenues from operations as service revenue, which reflects certain costs the Group passes on to its tenants.

The vast majority of the Group's lease agreements are concluded in Euro and include a clause that provides for the full indexation of the rent linked to the European Index of Consumer Prices. When a lease is concluded in another currency, it is typically linked to the consumer price index of the relevant country of the currency.

To a certain extent, the Group's operational results are influenced by its ability to sell residential units, which for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 and for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017, amounted for 4% and 1% of the Group's total revenues, respectively. The supply of new apartments in the different markets in which the Group operates and the demand on such markets affect apartment prices. The demand for apartments is further impacted by fluctuations in interest rates, the availability of credit and the mortgage market in general. For example, the Group's residential revenues decreased steadily over the last few years due to the slowdown in the sale of residential properties coupled with an increase in discounts which had to be granted to purchasers of the Group's apartments in order to facilitate sales.

Real estate valuation

The Group's results of operations depend heavily on the fluctuation of the value of assets on the property markets. The Group revalues its investment properties at least twice per year. Any change in fair value of investment property is thereafter recognized as a gain or loss in the income statement.

The following three significant factors influence the valuation of the Group's properties: (i) the cash flow arising from operational performance, (ii) the expected rental rates and (iii) the capitalization rates that result from the interest rates in the market and the risk premiums applied to the Group's business.

The cash flow arising from operational performance is primarily determined by current gross rental income per square meter, vacancy rate trends, total portfolio size, maintenance and administrative expenses, and operating expenses. Expected rental values are determined predominantly by expected development of the macroeconomic indicators as GDP growth, disposable income, etc. as well as micro conditions such as new developments in the immediate neighborhood, competition, etc. Capitalization rates are influenced by prevailing interest rates and risk premium. In the absence of other changes when capitalization rates increase, market value decreases and vice versa. Small changes in one or some of these factors can have a considerable effect on the fair value of the Group's investment properties and on the results of its operations.

Moreover, the valuation of the Group's landbank additionally depends on among others the building rights and the expected timing of the projects. The value of landbank which is assessed using a comparative method is determined by referring to the market prices applied in transactions relating to similar properties.

The Group recognized net profit from revaluation and impairment of assets and residential projects of €31,331 in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 and €105,314 in nine-month period ended 30 September 2017.

Impact of interest rate movements

Substantially all of the loans of the Group have a variable interest rate, mainly connected to EURIBOR. The bonds issued by the Company in 2014 are denominated in PLN and bear interest connected to WIBOR. Increases in interest rates generally increase the Group's financing costs. As of 30 September 2018 and 31 December 2017 approximately 92% and 90% of the Group's loans were hedged or partially hedged. For example as at 31 December 2017, a 50bp change in Euribor rate would lead to €1,698 change in profit (loss) before tax. In addition, in an economic environment in which availability of financing is not scarce, demand for investment properties generally tends to increase when interest rates are low, which can lead to higher valuations of the Group's existing investment portfolio. Conversely, increased interest rates generally adversely affect the valuation of the Group's properties, which can result in recognition of impairment that could negatively affect the Group's income.

Historically, EURIBOR rates have demonstrated significant volatility, changing from 1.343% as of 2 January 2012, through 0.188% as of 2 January 2013, to 0.280% as of 3 January 2014, 0.076% as of 2 January 2015 and – 0.1320% as of 4 January 2016, -0.3180% as of 2 January 2017, -0.328% as of 2 January 2018 (EURIBOR for three-month deposits).

Impact of foreign exchange rate movements

For the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 and for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017 a vast majority of the Group's revenues and costs were incurred or derived in euro. Nonetheless, the exchange rates against euro of the local currencies of the countries in which the Group operates are an important factor as the credit facilities that are obtained may be denominated in either euro or local currencies.

The Group reports its financial statements in euro, its operations, however, are based locally in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and other countries. The Group receives the majority of its revenue from rent denominated in euro, however, it receives a certain portion of its income (including the proceeds from the sales of residential real estate) and incurs most of its costs (including the vast majority of its selling expenses and administrative expenses) in local currencies, including the Polish zloty, Bulgarian leva, Croatian cunas, Hungarian forints, Romanian lei and Serbian dinars. In particular, the significant portion of the financial costs incurred by the Group includes: (i) the interest on the bonds issued by the Group in Polish zloty and (ii) the interest on the loan taken by the Group in Hungarian forints. The exchange rates between local currencies and euro have historically fluctuated.

The income tax expense (both actual and deferred) in the jurisdictions in which the Group conducts its operations is incurred in such local currencies. Consequently, such income tax expense was and may continue to be materially affected by foreign exchange rate movements.

Accordingly, the foreign exchange rate movements have a material impact on the Group's operations and financial results.

Availability of financing

In the CEE and SEE markets, real estate development companies, including the companies of the Group, usually finance their real estate projects with proceeds from bank loans, loans extended by their holding companies or the issuance of debt securities. The availability and cost of procuring financing are of material importance to the implementation of the Group's projects and for the Group's development prospects, as well as its ability to repay existing debt. Finally, the availability and cost of financing may impact the Group's development dynamics and the Group's net profit.

In the past, the principal sources of financing for the Group's core business included, apart from proceeds from asset disposals, bank loans and proceeds from bonds issued by the Company.

Availability of financing

In the CEE and SEE markets, real estate development companies, including the companies of the Group, usually finance their real estate projects with proceeds from bank loans, loans extended by their holding companies or the issuance of debt securities. The availability and cost of procuring financing are of material importance to the implementation of the Group's projects and for the Group's development prospects, as well as its ability to repay existing debt. Finally, the availability and cost of financing may impact the Group's development dynamics and the Group's cash flow and net profit.

Traditionally, the principal sources of financing for the Group's core business included, rental revenues, bank loans, proceeds from bonds issued by the Company and proceeds from asset disposals.

2. Basis of preparation

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by EU.

At the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, taking into account the EU's ongoing process of IFRS endorsement and the nature of the Group's activities, there is a difference between International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union. The Group is aware of the fact that IFRS 16 which is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019, has been already endorsed by the European Union. The Group is currently in the process of analysis of quantitative and qualitative impact of these standard on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended 31 December 2017, which were authorized for issue on 21 March 2018. The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the full year results.

The Group's Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euro, which is also GTC's functional currency. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the functional currency.

The financial statements of those entities prepared in their functional currencies are included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements by translation into Euro using appropriate exchange rates outlined in IAS 21. Assets and liabilities are translated at the period end exchange rate, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. All resulting exchange differences are classified in equity as "Foreign currency translation" without affecting earnings for the period.

These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, no circumstances were identified which would indicate any threat to the Group' continuing as a going concern.

3. Significant accounting policies and new standards, interpretations amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for 2017), except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2018. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. No changes to comparative data or error corrections were made.

Standards issued and effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018:

The Group applies, for the first time, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, effect of implementation of these standards is disclosed below. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2018, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

International Financial Reporting Standard 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") was issued in May 2014, and then amended in April 2016, and establishes a fivestep model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard replaced IAS 18, Revenue, IAS 11, Construction Contracts, and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group did not account for any significant impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 on the financial statements. But IFRS 15 did not affect the recognition of lease income as this is still dealt with under IAS 17 Leases.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of International Financial Reporting Standard 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9"). IFRS 9 brings together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments project: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The Group performed an impact assessment of implementation of IFRS 9 on the accounting principles (policy) applied by the Group with respect to the Group's operations or its financial results. The Group adopted the new standard on the required effective date and did not restated comparative information. Overall, the Group states there is no significant impact on the Groups statement of financial position and equity.

5. Segmental analysis

The operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, taking into consideration the nature of the business, operating markets and other factors. GTC operates in four core markets: Poland, Budapest, Bucharest and Belgrade. Additionally, GTC operates in Zagreb and starting from September 2017 its operation in Bulgaria is solely in Sofia.

Operating segments are divided into geographical zones, which have common characteristics and reflect the nature of management reporting structure:

  • a. Poland
  • b. Belgrade
  • c. Budapest
  • d. Bucharest
  • e. Zagreb
  • f. Sofia
  • g. Other

In prior year financial statements segments were as following: Poland, Belgrade, Budapest, Bucharest, Zagreb, Bulgaria, and other. After acquisition of Mall of Sofia (see note 1) and sale of non-core shopping centres in Bulgaria, management decided to present Sofia as a separate reporting segment.

15. Long-term loans and bonds (continued)

As securities for the bank loans, the banks have mortgage over the assets and security deposits together with assignment of the associated receivables and insurance rights.

In its financing agreements with banks, the Company undertakes to comply with certain financial covenants that are listed in those agreements; the main covenants are: maintaining a Loan-to-Value and Debt Service Coverage ratios in the company that holds the project.

In addition, substantially, all investment properties and IPUC that were financed by a lender have been pledged to secure the long-term loans from banks. Unless otherwise stated, fair value of the pledged assets exceeds the carrying value of the related loans.

Repayments of long-term debt and interest are scheduled as follows (Euro million):

First year 116 150

Thereafter 327 334

16. Taxation

Regulations regarding VAT, corporate income tax and social security contributions are subject to frequent changes. These frequent changes result in there being little point of reference, inconsistent interpretations not consistent and few established precedents that may be followed. The binding regulations also contain uncertainties, resulting in differences in opinion regarding the legal interpretation of tax regulations both between government bodies, and between government bodies and companies. Tax settlements and other areas of activity (e.g. customs or foreign currency related issues) may be subject to inspection by administrative bodies authorised to impose high penalties and fines, and any additional taxation liabilities calculated as a result must be paid together with high interest. The above circumstances mean that tax exposure is greater in Group's countries than in countries that have a more established taxation system.

Effective 15 July 2016, the Polish Tax Code was amended for the General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) provisions. The new regulation will require significantly more judgement in assessment of the tax consequences of particular transactions.
