The table below provides the key consolidated figures for H1 2021 (in EUR million):
| Results | 30/06/21 | 30/06/20 | Difference |

Despite an increase in residential revenues, lower office revenue recognition leads to slightly lower H1 2021 revenues. Nevertheless, Immobel saw its net profit increase substantially by 37% to EUR 29.9 million and its EBITDA by 6% to EUR 36.7 million. Revenues were mainly driven by strong residential sales in all markets and the sale of an office in Brussels. That latter sale strongly increased profitability. The net debt position, GDV of the portfolio and inventory all grew proportionally following new acquisitions during H1 2021.
Residential sales remain strong in every market. The leading residential rental property specialist Home Invest Belgium purchased part A of the Key West project. Furthermore, Quares Student Housing acquired 129 student accommodation units in the Brouck'R mixed development project. Both sales illustrate the continued institutionalization of the Brussels property market. This is a positive development leading to a higher-quality and more sustainable offering within the real estate market. Immobel Home, Immobel's strategic business focusing on suburban residential development in Belgium, also witnessed strong sales and expects to outperform its objectives for 2021 by 20%. As a consequence of the health crisis, the demand for second and suburban homes increased in Immobel markets, creating this strong commercial uptake.
Immobel further strengthened its leadership position in the Luxembourg market with the successful commercial launch of the Canal 44 and River Place projects. Both projects solidify Immobel's portfolio in Luxembourg, adding 108 new high-end residential units in two prime locations in Luxembourg. Immobel is also building on its substantial expansion efforts in France. In particular, the company launched the commercialization of three new residential projects in Île-de-France.
The company also witnessed strong rental and investor activity for its office business. The strong uptake is due to the "downsizing and upgrading" trend, a positive international development that is characterized by optimizing and

enhancing existing office spaces to accommodate new demands in relation to remote and flexible working. Building on the successful 15-year lease agreement signed with bpost back in 2019, a 12-year lease agreement was signed with Total Energies and a 9-year lease agreement was signed with a top-tier US financial institution for their new Belgian headquarters in the MULTI building. In addition to being the first CO2-neutral office building in Brussels, MULTI focuses strongly on circularity, given that 89% of the existing materials are being reused. Allianz purchased the BREEAM Outstanding7 and CO2-neutral Commerce 46 building in the European quarter in Brussels. Both buildings demonstrate Immobel's leading role as a front-runner in sustainable development projects in Europe's capital and beyond.
To date Immobel has obtained permits for projects representing a sales value of EUR 490 million8, of which EUR 300 million for projects for which permits are final. In the West Flanders city of Tielt, Immobel has obtained planning permission for the development of 200 units at a sales value of EUR 65 million. In Éghezée near Namur, Immobel will create a new, sustainable residential area consisting of 168 residential units, including 118 houses and 50 apartments, at a sales value of EUR 57 million. Additional permits were obtained in France: the 8,700 m² office project Montrouge in Paris, a residential project in Montévrain at a sales value of EUR 18 million, and another residential project in Bussy-Saint-Georges at a sales value of EUR 54 million. In Brussels, Immobel obtained a building permit for the development of the Brouck'R project, with a sales value of EUR 88 million. Brouck'R is a unique mixed development project that combines offices, shops, a hotel, apartments, and student accommodation. It aims to attract a diverse audience and bring back a dynamic edge to one of the most historic neighbourhoods in Brussels. In addition, Immobel obtained a permit for the Îlot Saint Roch project, a 31,500m2 residential project in the centre of Nivelles.
With regard to the activities of the Immobel Belux Office Development Fund, Immobel introduced a building permit application for the renovation of the Isala building in Brussels. The Isala building aspires to become one of Europe's most sustainable buildings thanks to a nearly-zero carbon footprint, an energy-positive goal and a strong focus on strengthening biodiversity and the well-being of end users.
Permitting activity improved compared to last year. However, a few projects have encountered delays. Some permits expected in the second half of the year might now only be obtained in 2022. These delays are nevertheless expected to be largely compensated by the strong residential sales and by the office activities, supporting Immobel's results in 2022.
Immobel's balance sheet remains strong with EUR 146 million of cash and a stable debt ratio of 57%. To date, Immobel has acquired new projects in Brussels, Paris and Luxembourg for EUR 575 million in sales value9, bringing the total GDV of portfolio to EUR 5.4 billion GDV.
Immobel has significantly strengthened its Real Estate Investment Management business. In this context, Immobel and Goldman Sachs Asset Management jointly acquired a high-quality mixed-use commercial and office building in the centre of Paris. Also in Paris, Immobel and Pictet Alternative Advisors acquired an office property of approx. 4,500 sqm located in the Paris-Opera district.

9 On our own balance sheet and for third parties. This includes the acquisitions secured in July of an iconic mixed-use project in Paris, two residential projects in Brussels and the Sabam project in Brussels
In May, Immobel achieved a strategic milestone for its Real Estate Investment Management business with the successful first closing of the Immobel BeLux Development Fund. An aggregate equity commitment of EUR 80 million was raised to invest up to EUR 230 million in office development projects in both Belgium and Luxembourg. In July, the Fund reached an agreement with Sabam for the acquisition10 of its headquarters in the European quarter in Brussels, the Fund's third acquisition following the first two investments in 2021: the Scorpio office building in Luxembourg and the major redevelopment of the head office of Total Energies in Brussels.
Finally, in June, Immobel was included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Global Small Cap Index. The inclusion in the MSCI Global Small Cap Index is indicative of Immobel's sustained results in recent years.
During H1 2021, Immobel defined its overall sustainability approach and priorities: the company initiated a cocreation process with internal and external stakeholders alike to define its own sustainability framework, shaping its vision for the city of tomorrow and its CSR engagements. Immobel developed a Green Financing Framework as an extension of all sustainability and environmental actions the company undertakes. Immobel is currently in the process of defining both the Group low-carbon roadmap and a roadmap to impact biodiversity positively. In addition, Immobel became a member of Madaster Belgium – a platform that stores up-to-date information on the financial and circular value, disassembly and reuse potential of the materials and products utilized in real estate assets – and is participating in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) evaluation.
Immobel's enhanced sustainability approach is already being translated into action through various projects such as the Isala building – which aspires to become one of Europe's most sustainable buildings – and MULTI, the first CO2-neutral office building in Brussels.

The share capital of Immobel SA is represented by 9.997.356 ordinary shares, including 26.965 treasury shares.
As at June 30, 2021, 265 562 treasury shares have been sold during the current year for an amount of EUR 16 416 thousand which includes a realized net gain of EUR 4 545 thousand.
In accordance with IAS 32, these own shares are presented in deduction of the equity. These own shares have neither voting rights nor dividend rights.
On June 30, 2021 the treasury shares, resulting from the merger with ALLFIN, remain valued at the share price on June 29, 2016, which was the date of the merger.
As per Immobel's 2020 result allocation, EUR 27 609 thousand have been paid out as dividends and EUR 333 thousand were allocated to a charity fund.
The currency translation adjustments are related to Polish entities for which the functional currency is in zloty.
Immobel (hereafter named the "Company") is a limited company incorporated in Belgium. The address of its registered office is Rue de la Régence 58 at 1000 Brussels. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with accounting standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted in the European Union. and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020 ('last annual financial statements'). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's board of directors on September 9, 2021
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Following new standards or amendments to IFRS are effective as from January 1, 2021 but are either not material or do not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements for the first half year of 2021.
The Group has not anticipated the following standards and interpretations, which are not mandatory as at June 30, 2021:
• Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, but not yet endorsed in the EU)
The process of determining the potential impacts of these standards and interpretations on the consolidated financial statements of the Group is ongoing. The group does not expect any significant changes resulting from the application of these standards.
In this context of crisis, the Group has paid particular attention to adequately reflect the current and expected impact of the COVID-19 situation on the financial position, performance and cash-flows of the company, applying the IFRS accounting principles in a consistent manner.
Covid-19 is currently still having a moderate impact on the activity of the company and the sector as a whole mainly with respect to progress in permitting as well as for office related commercial activities.
With the exception of the goodwill arisen from the acquisition of Nafilyan & Partners for which an annual impairment test is required and foreseen to be assessed by end of the year, the Group is required to conduct in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36, impairment tests where there is an indication of impairment of an asset.
Immobel Group identified neither evidence nor triggering events that would require asset impairment decisions and refers to the impairment test carried out as per note 13 of the Group's last annual consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and concluded that no impairment charge needs to be recognised in the current year against goodwill.
The COVID-19 crisis gives rise to a potentially increased credit risk and may therefore affect the amount of impairment losses to be recognized in respect of expected credit losses. The Group has therefore monitored payment receipts and counterparty risk more closely, noting no significant deterioration. The impact of "expected credit losses" (ECL) remains immaterial, especially since a physical asset can be considered, in the most cases, as a collateral (guarantee) in the assessment.
With regard to the inventories (projects to be developed), the assumptions used to assess the recoverability of the project under development have been consistently reviewed and updated based on the most recent market data, without significant impact. No write-downs have been identified as per June 30, 2021.
Financial risks have been monitored carefully.
As a buffer against this market conditions the company has a cash position of EUR 146 million at the end of June 2021, available corporate lines of EUR 76 million, non-issued Commercial Paper for an amount of EUR 26,5 million and EUR 633 million of confirmed project finance lines of which EUR 343 million were used.
Liquidity risk and trends in interest rate and exchange rate markets, have been reviewed and the related information has been updated based on data available at June 30, 2021 – see note 25.
Immobel's deferred tax asset positions were reviewed in order to ensure their recoverability through future taxable income. The Group also monitored changes to legislation, revisions to tax rates and other tax measures taken in response to the crisis.
The company did not identify significant impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the estimated future taxable profit.
The Group reviewed whether any current obligations were likely to give rise to the recognition of provisions, noting no specific risk.
The financial impacts of the crisis were rather limited, except in terms of pace of sales, which slowed down, and progress on construction sites.
The Group has neither adjusted its performance indicators, nor included new indicators to describe the impacts of COVID-19.
Given the uncertainties related to the health crisis and the constantly changing environment, the Group paid particular attention to events that occurred during the period from June 30, 2021 until the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors – see note 32.
Actuals related to the first semester 2021 and forecast 2021 show that the management assessment related to the going concern of the company remains appropriate.
Due to COVID-19 related developments in the economic and financial environment, the Group stepped up its risk oversight procedures, mainly in measuring financial assets and performing impairment tests.
The estimates used by the Group, among other things, to test for impairment and to measure provisions, take into account this environment and the sharp market volatility.
The main accounting judgments and estimates are identical to those given on page 93 (Consolidated Accounts) of the Annual Report 2020. They mainly concern the deferred tax assets, investment property, impairment of assets, provisions, projects in inventory and construction contracts.
The Immobel Group faces the risks and uncertainties inherent to the property development sector as well as those associated with the economic situation and the financial world.
The Board of Directors considers that the main risks and uncertainties included in page 46 and following (Management Report) of the Annual Report 2020 and page 93-94 are still relevant for the remaining months of 2021.
We refer to note 2 for an update about the COVID-19 crisis.

The segment reporting is presented based on the operational segments used by the Board and Management to monitor the financial performance of the Group, being the geographical segments (by country). The choice made by Management to focus on geographical segment rather than on other possible operating segments is motivated by the new investments or projects in several new countries, which made this criterion more relevant for the follow up of business and better reflecting the organization of the Group.
The core business of the Group, real estate development, is carried out in Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Germany, Poland and Spain.
The breakdown of sales by country depends on the country where the activity is executed.
The results and asset and liability items of the segments include items that can be attributed to a sector, either directly, or allocated through an allocation formula.
In accordance with IFRS, the Company has been applying IFRS 11 since 1st January 2014, which strongly amends the reading of the financial statements of the Company but does not change the net income and shareholders' equity.
The Board of Directors believes that the financial data in application of the proportional consolidated method (before IFRS 11) give a better picture of the activities and financial statements.

For Belgium, the projects Commerce 46 and O'Sea but also at international level, Eden Tower Frankfurt in Germany have mainly contributed to the turnover.
Revenue on commercial contracts is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods or services sold for an amount that reflects what the entity expects to receive for those goods and services.
The contractual analysis of the Group's sales contracts led to the application of the following recognition principles:
The revenue from office sale contracts is recognized after analysis on a case-by-case basis of the performance obligations stipulated in the contract (land, buildings, commercialisation). The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is recognized:
As of June 30, 2021, the project "Commerce 46" is now considered upon progress of completion.
No other "Office" contract meets the criteria which would allow gradual transfer of control.
For "Residential" projects, revenue is recognized according to the contractual and legal provisions in force in each country to govern the transfer of control of projects sold in the future state of completion.
The sales revenue is generally recorded when the asset is transferred.
The breakdown of sales according to these different recognition principles is as follows:

The goodwill arises from the acquisition in 2019 of Nafilyan & Partners, an unlisted company based in France that specializes in real estate development.
The acquisition provides to Immobel 100% of the voting shares and the control over Nafilyan & Partners. The acquisition qualifies as a business combination as defined in IFRS 3. The Group has acquired Nafilyan & Partners to enlarge its coverage on the French market by sharing the know-how, expertise and potential synergies with Immobel France. At present, Nafilyan & Partners has been fully integrated into Immobel France's operations.
The reconciliation of the carrying amount of the goodwill at beginning and end of the reporting period is as follows:

Immobel Group tests goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired. Immobel Group identified neither evidence nor triggering events that would require asset impairment decisions and refers to the impairment test carried out as per note 13 of the Group's last annual consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and concluded that no impairment charge needs to be recognised in the current year against goodwill.

The credit risk is related to the possible failure of the customers in respecting their commitments towards the Group and is considered immaterial, especially since in most cases the asset sold serves as collateral (guarantee).
At June 30, 2021, there is no concentration of credit risk with a sole third party. The maximum risk amounts to the book value of the receivables. However, within the meaning of IFRS 9, there is no expected credit loss that can be deemed significant at that date.

Upon initial recognition, the Group measures trade receivables at their transaction price as defined by IFRS 15. Contract assets include the amounts to which the entity is entitled in exchange for goods or services that it already has provided to a customer but for which the payment is not yet due or is subject to the fulfilment of a specific condition provided for in the contract.
When an amount becomes due, it is transferred to the receivable account.
A trade receivable is recognized as soon as the entity has an unconditional right to collect a payment. This unconditional right exists from the moment in time which makes the payment due.
In the same way as trade receivables and other receivables, contract assets are subject to an impairment test in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 on expected credit losses. This test does not show any significant potential impact since these contract assets (and their related receivables) are generally covered by the underlying assets represented by the building to be transferred.
At 30 June 2021, the consideration of the project Commerce 46 upon progress of completion is mainly contributing to the change of contract assets.

The increase in interest rate would result in an annual increase of the interest charge on debt of EUR 1 163 thousand per 1%-increase for about 25% of the variable part of the debt and maximum EUR 1 744 thousand in total for about 75% of the variable part of the debt to the extent the applicable EURIBOR-rate stands at 0%. Given that current applicable EURIBOR-rates are below 0% the impact of such increase would be even lower than these respective amounts.
