5. Operating and financial review
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 the 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 a force to change some of its investment plans. Additionally, the Group may not be able to develop numerous projects 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 three-month period ended 31 March 2022 and for the threemonth period ended 31 March 2021, the Group derived 75% and 75% of its revenues from operations as rental revenue, which significantly 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 favourable rent levels. Moreover, for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 and for the three-month period ended 31 March 2021, the Group derived 25% and 25% of its revenues from operations as service revenue, reflecting 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 indexed to Euro and linked to the consumer price index of the relevant country of the currency.
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 has its properties valued by external valuers at least twice a year, every June and December. Any change in the 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 the 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 like GDP growth, disposable income, etc., as well as micro conditions such as new developments in the immediate neighbourhood, competition, etc. Capitalization rates are influenced by prevailing interest rates and risk premiums. 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, assessed using a comparative method, is determined by referring to the market prices applied in transactions relating to similar properties.
The Group recognized a net profit from revaluation and impairment of assets of €3,063 in the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 and €2,594 net loss from revaluation and impairment of assets in the three-month period ended 31 March 2021.
IMPACT OF INTEREST RATE MOVEMENTS
Substantially all of the loans of the Group and part of the bonds issued by the Group bear a variable interest rate, connected or swapped to EURIBOR. Increases in interest rates generally increase the Group's financing costs. However, as of 31 March 2022, 93% of the Group's borrowings were either based on fixed interest rate or hedged against interest rate fluctuations, mainly through interest rate swaps and cap transactions.
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, leading to higher valuations of the Group's existing investment portfolio. Conversely, increased interest rates generally adversely affect the valuation of the Group's properties, resulting in recognition of impairment that could negatively affect the Group's income.
Historically, EURIBOR rates have decreased significantly, changing from 1.343% as of 2 January 2012 to -0.570% as 3 January 2022 (EURIBOR for three-month deposits) (for details see the graph below). However, with the increased inflation over 2021 and expected further hikes in the following years the interest rates may also increase.

The graph presents EURIBOR for three-month deposits for the period between 2012 – 2022.
IMPACT OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE MOVEMENTS
For three-month period ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021, 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 the Group operates in are an essential factor as the credit facilities obtained may be denominated in either euro or local currencies.
The Group presents its financial statements in euro, its operations, however, are based locally in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. The Group receives the vast majority of its revenue from rent denominated in euro, however, it receives a certain portion of its income and incurs most of its costs (including the vast majority of its selling expenses and administrative expenses) in local currencies, including the Polish zlotys, Bulgarian levas, Croatian kunas, Hungarian forints, Romanian leis, 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 zlotys, and (ii) the interest on the bonds issued by the Group in Hungarian forints. The exchange rates between local currencies and the euro have historically fluctuated. The Group hedges its foreign exchange exposure.
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.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The COVID-19 outbreak in Europe has led governments to implement rescue packages, as well as supporting monetary policies by the European Central Bank to moderate the economic impact of the pandemic which have a direct or indirect impact on household consumption and thus consumer price indices. Increase of price of energy and services significantly influences the inflation rate.
The Group's financial results are linked to the consumer price index as on one hand its rental revenue is indexed to the European CPI and on the other hand part of its debt is based on floating interest rate, which also may fluctuate as a result of the inflation. Although as of 31 March 2022, 93% of its debt is based on fixed rate on hedged against interest rate fluctuations so the exposure to the changes in interest rate is limited.
Additionally, the Group operates shopping malls and part of its rent (approximately 3% of total revenues from rental activity in 2021) is based on the tenant's turnover. Tenants' turnover might These factors may have an impact on the Group's operations and financial results.
According to Eurostat, the Euro area annual inflation was 5.0% in December 2021 and is expected to further grow. The graph below presents below the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) in countries which Group's operate and the Euro area. The main index reference period currently used is 2015.

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 the issue of the bonds, proceeds from bank loans, loans extended by their holding companies. 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. The unstable geopolitical situation may have negative impact on the cost and availability of the financing. Finally, the availability and cost of financing may impact the Group's development dynamics and the Group's net profit.

The Group endeavors to manage all its liabilities efficiently and is constantly reviewing its funding plans related to (i) the development and acquisition of commercial properties, (ii) debt servicing of its existing assets portfolio, and (iii) CAPEX. Such funding is sourced through available cash, operating income, and refinancing.
As of 31 March 2022, the Group's non-current liabilities amounted to €1,484,202 compared to €1,487,683 as of 31 December 2021.
The Group's total debt from long and short-term loans and borrowings as of 31 March 2022 amounted to €1,299,467, as compared to €1,441,403, including loans related to assets held for sale of €141,952 (net of deferred issuance debt expenses) as of 31 December 2021. The weighted average interest rate (including hedges) as of 31 March 2022 was 2.16%.
The Group's loans and borrowings are mainly denominated in Euro. Debt in other currencies includes bonds (series maturing in 2022-2023) in PLN and green bonds issued by Hungarian subsidiary in HUF (series maturing in 2027-2031), which are hedged through cross currency interest rate swaps following the hedging policy of the Group.
The Group's net loan-to-value ratio amounted to 43.1% as of 31 March 2022, compared to 52.5% as of 31 December 2021. The Group's long-term strategy is to keep its loan-to-value ratio at a level of 40%; however, in case of acquisitions, the Company may deviate temporarily.
As of 31 March 2022, 93% of the Group's loans (by value) were based on the fixed interest rate or hedged against interest fluctuations, mainly through interest rate swaps and cap transactions.
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 the issue of the bonds, proceeds from bank loans, loans extended by their holding companies. 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 and 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 projects, proceeds from bonds issued by the Company, and proceeds from asset disposals.
The Management has prepared and analyzed the cash flow budget based on certain hypothetical defensive assumptions to assess the reasonableness of the going concern assumption given the current developments on the market. This analysis assumed certain loan repayment acceleration, negative impact on NOI, as well as other offsetting measures, which the Management may take to mitigate the risks, including deferring the development activity and dividend pay-out.
Based on Management's analysis, the current cash liquidity of the Company, and the budget assumptions, Management concluded that there is no material uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future i.e., at least in the next 12 months. Management notes that it is difficult to predict the ultimate short, medium, and long-term impact of the macroeconomic conditions on the financial markets and the Company's activities, but the expected impact may be significant. Accordingly, Management conclusions will be updated and may change from time to time.

Impact of the situation in Ukraine on GTC Group
On 24 February 2022, Russian forces entered Ukraine and military conflict ensued. At the time these financial statements were prepared the extent of the conflict and its longer-term impact are unknown. The conflict caused immediate volatility in global stock markets and uncertainties are anticipated in relation to the cost and availability of energy and natural resources, particularly within Europe. Significant economic sanctions have been imposed against Russia by the European Union. The direct impact on the real estate markets where the Company operates is yet unknown. At this stage, there is no evidence that transaction activity within the Markets that the Company operates and the sentiment of buyers or sellers has changed. As of March 31 2022 and December 31 2021, the Group did not have any assets on areas of conflict.
2. Basis of preparation
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 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 no significant difference between International Financial Reporting Standards applying to these consolidated financial statements and International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union. The new standards which have been issued but are not effective yet in the financial year beginning on 1 January 2022 have been presented in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 (note 6).
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 2021, which were authorized for issue on 5 April 2022. The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the full year results.
The functional currency of GTC S.A. and most of its subsidiaries is Euro, as the Group primarily generates and expends cash in euro: 1) prices (rental income) are denominated in euro; 2) all borrowings are denominated in euro or hedged to euro through swap instruments.
The financial statements of those companies prepared in their functional currencies are included in the 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.
As of 31 March 2022, the Group's net working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) amounted to EUR 233.4 million.
The management has analysed the timing, nature and scale of potential financing needs of particular subsidiaries and believes that cash on hand, as well as, expected operating cashflows will be sufficient to fund the Group's anticipated cash requirements for working capital purposes, for at least the next twelve months from the balance sheet date. Consequently, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group companies will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date.
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 2021 (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for 2021) except for changes in the standards which became effective 1 January 2022:
- Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations amendments to standard published in May 2020 relate to the applicable references to Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, without changes to substance of business combinations accounting.
- Amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment the amendment to IAS 16 prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PPE any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. The proceeds from selling such items, together with the costs of producing them, are now recognized in profit or loss.
- Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets the amendment to IAS 37 includes a clarification as to whether the unavoidable costs under a contract exceed the expected economic benefits.
- Annual improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 the annual improvements contain amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and to illustrative examples to IFRS 16 Leasing. Amendments include explanations and clarify standards guidelines to recognition and valuation.
Those amendments to the standards have no significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
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.

17. Prepayments, deferred expenses and other receivables
The balance of prepayments, deferred expenses and other receivables increased from EUR 11,515 to EUR 16,917 in the period ended 31 March 2022.
The majority of the increase relates to development activity.
18. 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-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) provisions. The new regulation requires significantly more judgement in assessment of the tax consequences of particular transactions.
Main tax changes to the Polish Corporate Income Tax effective from 1 January 2022
Withholding tax (WHT)
The package of changes introduced to the Polish tax law regulations starting from January 2022 has limited the original scope of the application of pay and refund mechanism (settlement of WHT in relation to payments exceeding PLN 2 million (EUR 0.4 million) per annum for each taxpayer). Under new rules, the conditional exemption from WHT or application of the reduced tax rate stipulated in the applicable double tax treaty (DTT) is restricted in terms of the passive payments (i.e. dividends, interest, license fees) in the amount exceeding PLN 2 million per annum made with respect to foreign related entities. In such cases the tax remitter is obliged to automatically collect the tax at a statutory domestic rate (19% or 20%) regardless of the fulfilment of the conditions allowing the application of the exemption or the reduced rate on the basis of the local law or DTT.
Group does not expect significant impact of above change on consolidated financial statements.
Limitation of tax depreciation of commercial buildings
According to general tax regulations depreciation expenses on fixed assets (buildings classified as investment property) can be tax deductible. However, from 1 January 2022 in the case of real estate companies, tax-deductible depreciation expenses rates cannot be greater than the current applied accounting depreciation expenses rates applied to the same fixed assets in a given year.
Group is in the process of assessing the tax impact of above change on consolidated financial statements.

On 29 June 2021, the Annual General Meeting adopted a resolution regarding the capital increase of up to 20% of the existing share capital.
