Independent auditor's report on the financial statements

To the shareholders of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A.:

Report on the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statement of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and related notes for the year then ended.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statement present fairly, in all material respects, the equity and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022, as well as its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework (as identified in note 2 of the notes to the financial statements), and in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria included therein.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statement section of our report.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the financial statement in Spain, in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice. In this regard, we have not rendered services other than those relating to the audit of the accounts, and situations or circumstances have not arisen that, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned legislation, have affected our necessary independence such that it has been compromised.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statement of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statement as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverability of non-current equity instruments in group companies

At 31 December 2022 Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. recognises a balance under Non-current equity instruments in group companies amounting to Euro 2,689,056 thousand, as detailed in note 10 to the accompanying financial statements. These instruments represent approximately 41% of total assets.

As outlined in note 4.e) to the accompanying financial statements, the Company makes all the necessary measurement adjustments at least at the year end, provided that there is objective evidence that the carrying amount of an investment will not be recoverable. The amount of the adjustment is calculated as the difference between the investment's carrying amount and recoverable amount, understood as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows from the investment. Specifically, for most investees, unless better evidence is available of their recoverable amount, equity attributable to the Company is taken into consideration, increased by any latent capital gains existing at the time of the valuation, pursuant to the recommendations of EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) in order to calculate the EPRA Net Tangible Asset (EPRA NTA), always taking into account the market price of the investee's shares on an organised market as the best evidence of recoverable value. Value adjustments and, if appropriate, their reversal, are recognised in the income statement for the year in which they arise.

The quantification of the recoverable amount of such instruments requires, as outlined in note 2.d) to the accompanying financial statements, the use of significant judgements and estimates by Company management when determining the valuation method and considering the key assumptions to be established in that method.

Key audit matters How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Our audit procedures included, among others, the analysis of the process implemented by the Company to assess the potential impairment of non-current equity instruments in group companies.

For unlisted group companies with real estate assets, we obtained the balance sheets of the most significant investees and analysed the amounts of the latent capital gains identified, analysing them using the valuations of their real estate assets carried out by independent experts.

For investments in equity instruments in Societé Foncière Lyonnaise, S.A., a listed group company, we checked its recoverable amount based on the market value of its shares, and also requested an audit report, instructing its auditors.

For those group companies without relevant real estate assets, we obtained and analysed the calculations of their recoverable amount, based on the business plan drawn up by Company management, and checked the discount rate used with our internal experts.

Lastly, we assessed whether the disclosures of information included in note 10 to the notes to the accompanying financial statements.

We considered that management's approach to the evaluation of the recoverability of non-current equity instruments in group companies is consistent and supported by the available evidence.

Key audit matters How our audit addressed the key audit matters

The materiality of non-current equity instruments in group companies and the significant judgements and estimates described above mean that we consider this matter a key audit matter.

Subsequent measurement of Investment Properties

The Company has real estate assets which are primarily recognised under Investment properties amounting to Euro 2,984,618 thousand at 31 December 2022, representing 46% of total assets. Notes 4.c) and 7 to the accompanying financial statements include information on the assets included in this heading.

As outlined in note 4.c), the Company compares the carrying amount of these properties with market value in order to verify that the value recognised is not greater than market value. The Company obtains the market value through valuations performed by independent experts.

The methodology used to determine the market value of investment properties is mainly the discounted cash flows method, in accordance with standard market practice. These valuations are based on a series of significant judgements and estimates as outlined in note 2.d) to the accompanying financial statements.

We therefore focused on this area due to the materiality of this heading with respect to the Company's total assets and the significant judgement required of management. Changes in these assumptions could lead to a significant variation in the recoverable amount of such assets and the possible impact on the income statement and balance sheet.

For the purposes of evaluating their carrying amount before considering any impairment, we checked the annual depreciation of investment properties in terms of whether it is calculated on a straight-line basis over its useful life.

We obtained the year-end valuations performed of these assets by independent experts and we confirmed that these independent experts meet the requirements of competence and independence.

We checked whether these valuations were performed in accordance with the Appraisal and Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) of Great Britain and in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (IVS) published by the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC). In this regard, we held meetings with the valuers together with our internal experts, analysing, for a sample of those valuations, the reasonableness of the variables used, such as the discount rate and the rent and rent increases considered, as well as other variables necessary to complete the valuation such as the market return, the term of the rental agreements and type and age of the buildings, their location and occupancy rates. Similarly, for a sample of assets, we checked, using the sales and purchase deeds, the technical specifications considered by the independent experts when determining the market value of those assets.

Lastly, we assessed the corresponding disclosures in notes 4.c) and 7 to the notes to the accompanying financial statements.

Key audit matters How our audit addressed the key audit matters

We consider that we have obtained sufficient and adequate audit evidence in the course of our work concerning the reasonableness of the valuation of the Companies' investment properties.

Other information: Management report

Other information comprises only the management report for the 2022 financial year, the formulation of which is the responsibility of the Company's directors and does not form an integral part of the financial statement.

Our audit opinion on the financial statements does not cover the management report. Our responsibility regarding the management report, in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice, is to:

  • a) Verify only that the certain information included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration, as referred to in the Auditing Act, has been provided in the manner required by applicable legislation and, if not, we are obliged to disclose that fact.
  • b) Evaluate and report on the consistency between the rest of the information included in the management report and the financial statements as a result of our knowledge of the Company obtained during the audit of the aforementioned financial statements, as well as to evaluate and report on whether the content and presentation of this part of the management report is in accordance with applicable regulations. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that material misstatements exist, we are required to report that fact.

On the basis of the work performed, as described above, we have verified that the information mentioned in section a) above has been provided in the manner required by applicable legislation and that the rest of the information contained in the management report is consistent with that contained in the financial statements for the 2022 financial year, and its content and presentation are in accordance with applicable regulations.

Responsibility of the directors and the audit and control committee for the financial statement

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying financial statement, such that they fairly present the equity, financial position and financial performance of the Company, in accordance with the financial reporting framework applicable to the entity in Spain, and for such internal control as the aforementioned directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statement, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The audit and control committee for the financial statements responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and presentation of the financial statements.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the entity's audit and control committee for the financial statements regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the entity's audit and control committee for the financial statements with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, and we communicate with the aforementioned those matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the entity's audit and control committee for the financial statements, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022

1. Company activity

Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. ("the Company") is a public limited company incorporated in Spain, for an indefinite period, on 8 November 1956. Its registered offices are at Paseo de la Castellana, 52, Madrid.

On 29 June 2017, the shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting resolved to adopt the SOCIMI Tax Regime. On 30 June 2017, the Company submitted a request to the tax authorities to be included in the REIT Tax Regime, applicable as of 1 January 2017.

The Company's purpose, as set out in its bylaws, is as follows:

  • the acquisition and development of urban properties for lease.
  • the ownership of interests in the share capital of listed real estate investment companies (REITs) or other non-resident entities in Spain with the same corporate purpose, which are subject to a regime similar to that established for REITs in relation to the obligatory profit distribution policy stipulated by law or the bylaws;
  • the ownership of interests in the share capital of other resident or non-resident entities in Spain, the main corporate purpose of which is the acquisition of urban properties earmarked for lease, which are subject to the regime established for REITs in relation to the obligatory profit distribution policy stipulated by law or the bylaws and meet the investment requirements stipulated for these companies; and
  • the ownership of shares or equity interests in collective real estate investment undertakings governed by Law 35/2003, of 4 November, on collective investment undertakings or any law that may replace it in the future.

In addition to the economic activity relating to the main corporate purpose, the Parent may also carry on any other ancillary activities, i.e., those that they generate income representing less than 20%, taken as a whole, of its income in each tax period, or those that may be considered ancillary activities under the legislation applicable at any time, including, in any case, the management, restoration and operation of properties and the performance of all manner of studies, reports, appraisals, valuations and surveys; and in general, the provision of real estate consulting and advisory services, property asset management, development and marketing services, and technical assistance through contracts with other public or private companies or entities.

Activities that by law are attributable exclusively to special purpose vehicles are expressly excluded from its corporate purpose.

All activities included in the corporate purpose will be carried out as authorised by current legislation at any given time, expressly excluding its own activities that are exclusively granted by prevailing legislation to individuals or legal entities other than this Company.

The Company may also carry out the aforementioned activities, in full or in part, indirectly through ownership interests in other companies with an identical or similar corporate purpose.

In 2007, the merger by absorption of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. (formerly Grupo Inmocaral, S.A.) with Inmobiliaria Colonial, S.A. (absorbed company) was undertaken. In 2008, Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. (absorbing company) merged with the companies Subirats-Coslada Logística, S.L.U., Diagonal Les Punxes 2002, S.L.U., Dehesa de Valme, S.L., Urbaplan 2001, S.A.U., Entrenúcleos Desarrollo Inmobiliario, S.L., Inversiones Tres Cantos, S.L. and Inversiones Notenth, S.L. (absorbed companies).

In 2010 the land and development activity branch was spun off and contributed to the subsidiary Asentia Project, S.L., hereinafter "Asentia", which included the shares of the subsidiary Desarrollos Urbanísticos Entrenúcleos 2009, S.L.U., hereinafter "DUE", to which a project located in Seville was contributed. The noncash contribution to the subsidiary Abix Service, S.L.U., hereinafter "Abix", of the Llacuna real estate project, located in Barcelona, was also made. These operations were carried out within the framework of the refinancing agreement signed on 19 February 2010 between the Company and the financial institutions.

The above-mentioned merger, spin-off and non-cash contribution transactions were subject to the tax regime provided for in Chapter VIII of Title VII of the Corporate Income Tax Act. All relevant information on these corporate transactions, as required by law, is detailed in the financial statements for the corresponding years.

In 2014, a global transfer was undertaken of the assets and liabilities of Abix, previously a wholly-owned company, to Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. This involved the transfer en bloc via universal succession of the totality of Abix's equity to the Company, with the resulting termination of the investee, carried out in conformity with Article 87.1 of Law 3/2009 on Structural Modifications to Trading Companies.

On 2 July 2018, the Company carried out the takeover merger with Axiare Patrimonio SOCIMI, S.A. under the special regime provided for in Chapter VII of Title VII of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act on 1 August 2018. On 17 April 2019, the Company carried out the takeover merger of the companies Axiare Properties, S.L.U., Axiare Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación, S.L.U., Chamaleon (CEDRO), S.L.U., Venusaur, S.L.U., Colonial Invest, S.L.U., Hofinac Real Estate, S.L.U., Fincas y Representaciones, S.A.U., Colonial Arturo Soria, S.L.U. and LE Offices Egeo, S.A.U., which is covered by the special regime provided for in Chapter VII of Title VII of the Spanish Corporation Tax Act (LIS) on 3 June 2019.

On 9 August 2019, the Company carried out the merger by absorption of the companies Danieltown Spain, S.L.U., Moorage Inversiones 2014, S.L.U., Almacenes Generales Internacionales, S.A.U., Soller, S.A.U. and Axiare Investments, S.L.U. under the special regime provided for in Chapter VII of Title VII of the LIS on 16 September 2019.

On 3 September 2019, the Company carried out a merger by absorption with Torre Marenostrum, S.L.U., whose main activity was the acquisition and development of urban real estate for lease under the special regime provided for in Chapter VII of Title VII of the LIS on 7 October 2019.

The main activity of the absorbed companies was the acquisition and development of urban real estate for lease, and the holding of equity interests in other listed real estate investment companies. The mergers were carried out with the aim of optimising the Company's resources, improving the cost structure in its activity and acting in the market as a single entity.

Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. carries out its activities in Spain (mainly in Barcelona and Madrid) and in France (Paris) through the group of which the parent is Société Foncière Lyonnaise, S.A (hereinafter "SFL") which is listed on the Euronext Paris market.

Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. has been listed on the Spanish electronic trading system and Stock Exchange since 19 June 2017, when it was included on the benchmark stock market index, the IBEX-35.

In 2022, the Company maintains the credit rating obtained from Standard & Poor's Rating Credit Market Services Europe Limited at "BBB+" long-term credit rating and an "A-2" short-term credit rating, both with a stable outlook. In addition, the Parent obtained a "Baa2" credit rating with a positive outlook from Moody's.

In view of the business activity carried on by the Group, it does not have any environmental expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies that might be material with respect to its equity, financial position or results. Therefore, no specific disclosures relating to environmental issues are included in these explanatory notes. However, the Group does apply an active environmental policy in relation to urban processes of construction and maintenance and the preservation of its property portfolio.

The Company is the head of a group of subsidiaries and is obliged under current legislation to prepare consolidated financial statements separately.

The Company's financial statements and the consolidated financial statements for 2021 were approved by the general shareholders' meeting of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. held on 21 June 2022, without modifications, and filed with the Commercial Registry of Madrid.

2. Basis of presentation of the financial statements

a) Regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company

These financial statements have been authorised for issue by the directors in accordance with the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company, as set out in:

− The Spanish Code of Commerce and other commercial and corporate legislation.

  • − General Accounting Plan (PGC) approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 together with Royal Decrees 1159/2010 and 602/2016 amending certain aspects of the GAAP and its sectorial adaptations and, in particular, the sectorial adaptation of the general accounting plan for real estate companies approved by the order of 28 December 1994, as well as the provisions approved by the National Securities Market Commission, together with Royal Decree 1/2021, of 12 January, amending the conceptual framework and in particular section 6 point 2 relating to valuation rules and specifically to the definition of fair value and the 9th registration and valuation rules relating to financial instruments and income recognition.
  • − The mandatory rules approved by the Institute of Accounting and Auditing in the implementation of the chart of accounts and its supplementary rules, the Securities Market Law and other regulations issued by the National Securities Market Commission.
  • − All other applicable Spanish accounting legislation.

b) True and fair view

The accompanying financial statements were prepared from the Company's accounting records and are presented in accordance with the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company and, in particular, with the accounting principles and rules contained therein and, accordingly, give a true and fair view of the Company's equity, financial position, results and cash flows for the year. These financial statements were prepared by the Company's directors for approval by the shareholders at the annual general meeting and are expected to be approved without any modification.

c) Non-mandatory accounting principles applied

No non-mandatory accounting policies have been applied. Consequently, the directors formally prepared these financial statements by taking into account all the mandatory accounting principles and rules with a significant effect thereon. All mandatory accounting principles were applied.

d) Critical issues regarding the measurement and estimation of uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements, estimates were made by the Company's directors in order to measure certain of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and obligations reported herein. These estimates and criteria relate to the following:

  • Impairment losses or, conversely, reversals of impairment losses recognised in prior years on goodwill, on properties for own use and investment property as a result of the lower or higher value obtained from property valuations performed by independent experts with respect to the carrying amount of these assets (Notes 5, 6 and 7).

The market value of own-use property and investment property has been obtained from the valuations carried out periodically by independent experts. These valuations were performed at 31 December 2022 and 2021 in accordance with the methods described in Notes 4-b and 4-c.

  • The useful life of the property for own use and of the investment property (Notes 4-b and 4-c).
  • The classification, valuation and impairment of certain financial assets, including derivative financial instruments and equity instruments (Notes 4-e, 9, 10 and 12).
  • Measurement of deferred tax liabilities recognised in the balance sheet (Notes 4-I and 18).
  • The valuation of the non-current assets held for sale (Note 4-f and 13).

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at year-end 2022, future events may make it necessary to change these estimates (upwards or downwards) in subsequent reporting periods. Any changes in accounting estimates are recognised prospectively, with recognition of the effects of the change of estimate in profit and loss.

e) Comparison of information

The information relating to 2022 included in these notes to the consolidated financial statements is presented, for comparison purposes, with the information relating to 2021.

f) Aggregation of items

Certain items in the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are grouped together in order to facilitate comprehension. However, whenever the amounts involved are material, the information is broken down in the related notes to the financial statements.

g) Correction of errors

No significant errors were detected in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements that would have made it necessary to restate the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements for 2021.

h) Functional currency

These financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency, the euro, as this is the currency of the main economic area in which the Company operates.

i) Climate change

Climate change brings with it major changes in the economy, making it necessary to be increasingly aware of its impacts on the financial and non-financial performance of companies. The major issues associated with these changes have led to very ambitious objectives involving radical transformations, framed within the framework of the European green pact, the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement (COP27), the Glasgow agreement (COP26), and even the Paris agreement (COP21).

The purpose of this note is to present the impact of these changes on the Company's business and performance, as well as the main accounting impacts on the financial statements.

Effects of climate-related changes on the Company's financial position

The property sector accounts for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions in Spain. For this reason, the Company has put a strategy in place to ensure that the risks and impacts of climate change and the measures to address them are monitored.

The main effects on the financial statements linked to weather-related changes have been considered. These impacts are not exact figures, as it is very difficult to dissociate the impacts from other factors that have influenced the performance of the period. On this basis, the major impacts on the financial data are as follows:

  • A positive impact on the valuation of the Company's properties that have been recognised as environmentally friendly (as evidenced by the certifications obtained).
  • An increase in the investment and operating costs of property to anticipate regulatory developments and adapt to changes in customer demand for more sustainable spaces. These include, for example, the installation of LED technology in lighting systems, the selection and implementation of more efficient air-conditioning systems and the digitisation of buildings to optimise energy consumption.
  • Various expenses, such as the costs of environmental certification of properties, costs linked to the publication of ESG data, and elements of remuneration of certain employees or directors linked to the achievement of ESG objectives.
  • Increased green energy procurement costs. Green energy certificates of origin have experienced a large increase in demand, making the purchase price of such certificates more expensive.
  • Increased cost of materials due to the use of new, more sustainable materials with a lower impact on the carbon footprint.

Other potential impacts on the accounts

Other potential impacts of climate change, which do not have an impact on the financial statements, are as follows:

  • Risks associated with financial instruments: On 17 February 2022, the Company announced that the bondholders' meetings have approved the conversion of all of the Company's outstanding bonds into green bonds for a total amount of 2,812 million euros representing 94.1% of the total gross debt as at 31 December 2022.
  • At the closing date of these financial statements, the Company had 5.9% of its gross debt indexed to ESG indicators (2.5% at 31 December 2021), the interest rates of which may vary depending on the development of these indicators. There was no effect on the Company's financing during the 2022 financial year.

  • Fees and taxes related to environmental regulation: the investments made by the Company have enabled it to be in line with the regulations in force regarding climate change. As a result, the Company has not received any sanctions for non-compliance with these regulations. The Company has also implemented a monitoring system to anticipate regulatory developments in this area and to take the necessary actions to ensure compliance. As at 31 December 2022, no provision has been recorded for penalties for non-compliance with current environmental regulations.

  • The depreciation of assets or the re-estimation of the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets: The Company's assets are mainly recorded at fair value and therefore the Company's financial statements do not include any significant impact arising from these standards.

3. Distribution of result

The distribution of the profit for the financial year 2022 proposed by the Board of Directors of the Company for approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting is as follows:

Dividends distributed 77,619 101,567 101,549 111,087 127,533

4. Accounting policies and measurement bases

The main accounting policies and measurement bases used by the Company to prepare the financial statements, in accordance with those set out in the chart of accounts, are as follows:

a) Intangible assets

As a general rule, intangible assets are initially measured at their acquisition or production cost. They are then measured at cost less the corresponding accumulated amortisation and, where applicable, less any impairment losses. These assets are amortised over their useful life. When the useful life of these assets cannot be estimated reliably, they are amortised over a maximum period of 10 years.

Goodwill -

Goodwill arises from the differences between the cost of the business combination and the net amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Company allocates the goodwill resulting from the business combination to each of the cash generating units (CGU) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and determines the useful life of the goodwill separately for each CGU. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is subsequently carried at the acquisition price less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The Company amortises goodwill on a straight-line basis at a rate of 10% per year.

In addition, at least annually, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated shall be tested for indications of impairment.

Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.

Computer software -

The "Computer software" heading of the balance sheet mainly includes the cost of acquiring and implementing an integrated IT system, in addition to subsequent extensions or upgrades of such system. The cost is amortised on a straight-line basis at a rate of 25% per year.

b) Property, plant and equipment

Property for own use, in addition to other property, plant and equipment, are recognised at acquisition cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment.

Historical cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of the properties.

Subsequent costs are capitalised or recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that the future benefits associated with ownership of the asset will flow to the Company and its cost can be determined reliably. Other maintenance and upkeep expenses are charged to the profit and loss account in the year incurred.

The Company depreciates its property, plant and equipment for own use and other items using the straight-line method, and distributes assets' costs throughout the estimated useful life, as follows:

Years of estimated
useful life
Property for own use
Buildings 50
Facilities 10 to 15
Other
property,
plant
equipment
and
4 to 10

Impairment of plant, property and equipment -

At each reporting date, the Company assesses the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine if there are indications that the assets have been impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of the asset less costs to sell or otherwise dispose of the asset and value in use. Where the asset does not generate cash inflows that are independent of those from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Any potential impairment losses on property for own use are recognised in accordance with the same valuation assumptions described in Note 4-c.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount; however, the increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years.

c) Investment property

"Investment property" in the balance sheet reflects the values of the land, buildings and other constructions held to earn rent or for capital appreciation upon disposal due to future increases in their respective market prices.

Investment property is recognised at cost of acquisition plus any gains allocated as a result of the mergers described in Note 1, less any related accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The costs of expansion, modernisation or improvement leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of assets are capitalised as an increase in the cost of the related assets, while upkeep and maintenance costs are expensed in profit and loss in the year incurred. For projects in progress, only execution costs and finance costs are capitalised, provided that such expenses have been incurred before the asset is put into operation and that the duration of the work exceeds one year.

The Company includes any finance cost related to generic financing directly attributable to the acquisition within the cost of investment property that requires a period of more than one year to be in operating condition. The amount of interest to be capitalised corresponding to general non-trade financing is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate to the investment in progress, discounting the specifically financed portion, within the limit of the finance cost accrued in profit and loss.

Assets are transferred from investment property in progress to investment property when they are ready for use. The classification of an investment property to investment property in progress takes place only when the rehabilitation or renovation project will exceed one year in length.

The Company depreciates its investment property using the straight-line method, and distributes assets' costs throughout the estimated useful life, as follows:

Years of
estimated
useful life
Properties:
Buildings 50
Facilities 10 to 15
Other property, plant and equipment 4 to 10

The Company periodically compares the carrying amount of the various investment property items with the market value obtained through independent expert appraisals for each item, and the appropriate provisions are made for impairment of investment property when the market value of an item is lower than its carrying amount. The market value is determined half-yearly, i.e. at 30 June and 31 December of each financial year, taking as reference values the valuations carried out by independent third-party experts (Cushman & Wakfield and CB Richard Ellis Valuation in Spain for the 2022 financial year and Jones Lang LaSalle and CB Richard Ellis Valuation in Spain for the 2021 financial year), carried out in accordance with the valuation and appraisal standards published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) of Great Britain, and in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (IVS) published by the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC), so that at the close of each period the market value reflects the market conditions of the elements of the investment property at that date. The valuation reports prepared by independent experts contain only the standard warnings and/or disclaimers concerning the scope of the findings of the appraisals carried out, referring to the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the information provided by the Company.

The Discounted Cash Flow (hereinafter, "DCF") method was primarily used to determine the market value of the Company's investment property in 2022 and 2021.

The DCF method applied over a 10-year horizon is used, in accordance with current market practices, unless the specific characteristics of the investment suggest another course of action. The cash flow is considered throughout the period on a monthly basis to reflect increases in the CPI, the timetable for future rent reviews, the maturity of operating leases, etc.

With regard the increases in the CPI, the generally accepted forecasts are normally adopted.

Given that the appraiser does not know with certainty whether there will be periods of vacancy in the future, nor their duration, their forecasts are prepared based on the quality and location of the building, and they will generally adopt an average lease period if there is no information about the future intentions of each tenant. The assumptions determined in relation to the periods of vacancy and other factors are explained in each valuation.

The resulting profitability or Terminal Capitalisation Rate (hereinafter, "TCR") adopted in each case refers not only to the forecast market conditions at the end of each cash flow period, but also to the rental conditions which are expected to be maintained and the physical location of the property, taking into account any possible improvements planned for the property and included in the analysis.

With regard to acceptable discount rates, conversations are regularly held with various institutions to assess their attitude towards different investment rates. This general consensus, together with the data on any sales made and market forecasts relating to variations in the discount rates, serve as starting points for the appraisers to determine the appropriate discount rate in each case.

The properties were assessed individually, considering each of the lease agreements in force at the end of the reporting period. Buildings with unlet floor space were valued on the basis of future estimated rental income, net of an estimated letting period.

The most relevant key inputs of this method for the purposes of sensitivity analysis are the determination of net income and the rate of return, especially as it is a 10-year discounted cash flow model. The other variables considered, although they are taken into account for the determination of fair value, are not considered to be key and, therefore, no quantitative information is included, nor is their sensitivity measured.

The estimated yields are mainly determined by the type, age and location of the properties, by the technical quality of the asset, as well as the type of tenant and occupancy rate, etc

The yields and other assumptions used in determining future cash flows are set out in the tables below:

Developments in progress were valued using the dynamic residual method as the best approximation. This method begins with an estimate of the income yielded by the developed and fully leased property; from this value, development, planning, construction and demolition costs, professional fees, permit and marketing costs, borrowing costs and development profit, among other items, are then deducted, in order to arrive at a price that a developer might pay for the asset under development.

Quarter point changes in the rates of return have the following impact on the valuations used by the Company to determine the impairment of its assets recorded under "Property, plant and equipment", "Investment property" and "Non-current assets held for sale" in the balance sheet:

Thousands of euros
Sensitivity of asset impairments to quarter-point changes in the rates of
return taken into account in the valuations
Measurement Decrease of

December 2022 4,602,760 4,816,605 4.420,952 21,503 (23,156)
December 2021 4,724,498 248,027 (221,043) 13,721 (21,670)

Although the sensitivity of other key variables was considered, such analysis was not carried out given that reasonable changes that could arise would not lead to a material change in the fair value of the assets.

The rental income earned in 2022 and 2021 from the lease of these investment properties amounted to approximately 149.954 thousand euros and 139.287 thousand euros, respectively, and is recognised under "Revenue" in the income statement (Note 19-a).

The gains or losses arising from the sale or retirement of an asset are determined as the difference between its sale price and its carrying amount and are recognised under "Impairment and gains/(losses) on disposals of property, plant and equipment - Impairment and losses" in the profit and loss account.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever their terms imply that substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset have been transferred to the lessee Other leases are classified as operating leases. At 31 December 2022 and 2021, all of the Company's leases qualified as operating leases.

Operating lease -

Income and expense of operating leases are taken to the profit and loss account in the year they accrue.

The acquisition cost of the leased assets is presented in the balance sheet based on the nature of the asset, increased by the directly recognised agreement costs which are recognised over the term of the lease by applying the same method used to recognise income from leases.

Any collection or payment that might be made when arranging an operating lease will be treated as a prepaid lease collection or payment, which will be allocated to profit or loss over the lease term in accordance with the time pattern in which the benefits of the leased asset are provided or received.

e) Financial instruments

Financial assets -

Financial assets at amortised cost -

This category includes financial assets, including those admitted to trading on an organised market, in which the Company holds the investment for the purpose of receiving cash flows from the performance of the contract, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, at specified dates, to cash flows that are solely collections of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Contractual cash flows that are solely collections of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are inherent in an arrangement that is in the nature of an ordinary or common loan, notwithstanding that the transaction is arranged at a zero or below-market interest rate.

This category includes trade receivables and non-trade receivables:

  • a) Trade receivables: are those financial assets arising from the sale of goods and the rendering of services in connection with the company's business operations with deferred payment; and
  • b) Non-trade receivables: are those financial assets, other than equity instruments and derivatives, that are not of commercial origin and whose proceeds are of a fixed or determinable amount, arising from loans or credit operations granted by the company.

Initial measurement

Financial assets classified in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration given, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

However, trade receivables maturing within one year that do not have an explicit contractual interest rate, as well as receivables from personnel, dividends receivable and payments due on equity instruments, the amount of which is expected to be received in the short term, are measured at nominal value to the extent that the effect of not discounting cash flows is deemed not to be material.

Subsequent measurement

Financial assets included in this category are measured at their amortised cost. Accrued interest shall be recognised in the profit and loss statement using the effective interest method.

However, loans and advances falling due in less than one year which, in accordance with the provisions of the previous paragraph, are initially valued at their nominal value, continue to be valued at that amount, unless they are impaired.

When the contractual cash flows of a financial asset change because of the issuer's financial difficulties, the company assesses whether an impairment loss should be recognised.

Impairment

Impairment write-downs are made at least at the balance sheet date and whenever there is objective evidence that a financial asset, or a group of financial assets with similar risk characteristics measured collectively, is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition and that result in a reduction or delay in estimated future cash flows, which may be caused by the debtor's insolvency.

In general, the impairment loss on these financial assets is the difference between their carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows, including, where applicable, those arising from the real and personal guarantees, estimated to be generated, discounted at the effective interest rate calculated at the time of initial recognition. For floating rate financial assets, the effective interest rate at the reporting date is used in accordance with the contractual terms.

Impairment losses, and reversals of impairment losses when the amount of the impairment decreases due to a subsequent event, are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The reversal of impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the asset that would have been recognised at the date of reversal had no impairment loss been recognised.

Financial assets at fair value through the income statement

This category includes equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor to be measured at cost, and for which an irrevocable election was made at initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value directly in equity.

In addition, financial assets that are irrevocably designated at initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss, and that would otherwise have been included in another category, are included to eliminate or significantly reduce a valuation inconsistency or accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities on different bases.

Initial measurement

Financial assets included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration given. Transaction costs directly attributable to them shall be recognised in the income statement for the year.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, the company shall measure financial assets in this category at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at cost -

In any case, they are included in the measurement category:

  • a) Equity investments in Group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities.
  • b) Other investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be determined by reference to a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument, or cannot be reliably estimated, and derivatives underlying such investments.
  • c) Hybrid financial assets whose fair value cannot be reliably estimated, unless they qualify for recognition at amortised cost.
  • d) Contributions made as a result of a joint account agreement and similar agreements.
  • e) Participating loans where the interest is contingent either because a fixed or variable interest rate is agreed upon the achievement of a milestone in the borrowing undertaking (e.g. the achievement of profits) or because it is calculated solely by reference to the performance of the borrowing undertaking's business.
  • f) Any other financial asset that is initially classified in the fair value through profit or loss portfolio when it is not possible to obtain a reliable estimate of its fair value.

Initial measurement

Investments included in this category are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given plus directly attributable transaction costs, the latter not being included in the cost of investments in group companies.

However, in cases where an investment exists prior to its classification as a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate, the cost of that investment is taken to be the carrying amount that the investment should have had immediately before the company's classification as a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate.

The initial valuation includes the amount of any pre-emptive subscription rights and similar rights acquired.

Subsequent measurement

Equity instruments included in this category are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

When these assets are to be assigned a value due to derecognition or otherwise, the weighted average cost method is applied for homogeneous groups, where homogeneous groups are defined as securities with equal rights.

In the case of the sale of pre-emptive subscription rights and similar rights or the segregation of such rights for exercise, the amount of the cost of the rights decreases the carrying amount of the respective assets.

Contributions made as a result of a joint venture and similar arrangements shall be valued at cost, increased or decreased by the profit or loss, respectively, accruing to the undertaking as a nonmanaging venturer, less any accumulated impairment losses.

The same criteria is applied to loans where the interest is contingent either because a fixed or variable interest rate is agreed upon the achievement of a milestone in the borrowing undertaking (e.g. the achievement of profits) or because it is calculated solely by reference to the performance of the borrowing undertaking's business. If irrevocable fixed interest is agreed in addition to contingent interest, the latter is accounted for as finance income on an accruals basis. Transaction costs are taken to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the life of the participating loan.

Impairment

At least at the end of each reporting period, any necessary value adjustments are made whenever there is objective evidence that the carrying amount of an investment will not be recoverable. The amount of the valuation adjustment is the difference between its carrying amount and the recoverable amount, the latter being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows arising from the investment, which in the case of equity instruments is calculated either by estimating those expected to be received as a result of the distribution of dividends by the investee and the disposal or derecognition of the investment in the investee, or by estimating its share of the cash flows expected to be generated by the investee from its ordinary activities and from the disposal or derecognition of the investment.

Unless there is better evidence of the recoverable amount of the investees, the net assets attributable to the Company plus the unrealised gains existing at the time of valuation are taken into consideration, following the EPRA recommendations for the calculation of the EPRA Net Tangible Asset (EPRA NTA), always taking into consideration the existence of a quotation on an organised market as the best evidence of a recoverable value.

In the case of the financial interest in Utopicus, a discounted cash flow projection based on the company's business plan is used as the recoverable amount.

The recognition of impairment losses and, where applicable, their reversal are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The reversal of impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the investment that would have been recognised at the date of reversal had no impairment loss been recognised.

However, if an investment in the company had been made prior to its classification as a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate and, prior to that classification, valuation adjustments had been made and recognised directly in equity in respect of that investment, those adjustments are retained after classification until the disposal or derecognition of the investment, at which time they are recognised in the income statement, or until the following events occur:

  • a) In the case of previous valuation adjustments for increases in value, impairment losses shall be recognised in equity against the equity item reflecting the previously made valuation adjustments up to the amount of those adjustments, and the excess, if any, shall be recognised in the income statement. The impairment loss recognised directly in equity is not reversed.
  • b) In the case of previous valuation adjustments due to write-downs, when the recoverable amount subsequently exceeds the carrying amount of the investments, the carrying amount of the investments is increased, up to the limit of the write-down, against the item reflecting the previous valuation adjustments and thereafter the new amount is treated as the cost of the investment. However, when there is objective evidence of impairment in the value of the investment, accumulated losses are recognised directly in equity in the profit and loss account.

Financial liabilities -

Financial liabilities shall, for valuation purposes, be included in one of the following categories:

Financial liabilities at amortised cost -

In general, this category also includes trade payables and non-trade payables:

  • a) Trade payables: financial liabilities arising from the purchase of goods and services in connection with the company's business operations with deferred payment; and
  • b) Non-trade payables: financial liabilities which, not being derivative instruments, do not have a commercial origin, but arise from loan or credit operations received by the company.

Participating loans that have the characteristics of an ordinary or common loan are also included in this category without prejudice to the agreed interest rate (zero or below market).

Initial measurement

Financial liabilities included in this category are initially measured at fair value, being the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs.

However, trade payables maturing in less than one year and not bearing a contractual interest rate, as well as disbursements required by third parties on holdings, the amount of which is expected to be paid in the short term, are measured at nominal value, when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not significant.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities included in this category are measured at their amortised cost. Accrued interest are recognised in the profit and loss statement using the effective interest method.

However, debts maturing in less than one year that are initially valued at their nominal value continue to be valued at that amount.

Financial liabilities at fair value through the income statement -

This category includes financial liabilities that meet some of the following conditions:

  • a) Liabilities held for trading.
  • b) Those irrevocably designated from initial recognition to be carried at fair value through the income statement, because:
  • An accounting inconsistency or "accounting mismatch" with other instruments at fair value through profit or loss is eliminated or significantly reduced; or
  • A group of financial liabilities or financial assets and liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and group information is also provided on a fair value basis to key management personnel.

c) non-severable hybrid financial liabilities included on an optional and irrevocable basis.

Initial and subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities included in this category are initially measured at fair value, being the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received. Transaction costs directly attributable to them are recognised in the income statement for the year.

After initial recognition, financial liabilities in this category are measured at fair value in the income statement.

For convertible bonds, the fair value of the liability component is determined by applying the interest rate for similar non-convertible bonds. This amount is accounted for as a liability on an amortised cost basis until it is settled on conversion or maturity. The remainder of the income earned is allocated to the conversion option which is recognised in equity.

In the case of renegotiation of existing debt, no material modification of the financial liability is deemed to exist when the lender of the new loan is the same as the lender of the original loan and the present value of the cash flows, including net fees, does not differ by more than 10% from the present value of the outstanding cash flows of the original liability calculated under the same method.

Own equity instruments (Note 14) -

An equity instrument represents a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Own equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised in equity at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Any treasury shares of the Company acquired during the year are recognised as a deduction from equity at the value of the consideration paid. Any gains or losses on the acquisition, sale, issue or retirement of own equity instruments are recognised directly in equity and not in profit and loss.

Derivative financial instruments (Note 12) -

The Company uses financial derivatives to manage its exposure to variations in interest rates. All derivative financial instruments, whether or not they are designated as hedging instruments, are carried at fair value, market value in the case of listed securities, or using option valuation methods or discounted cash flow analysis for non-listed securities. The following measurement base was used to recognise each of the following:

  • Derivative financial instruments that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are initially recognised at fair value plus, where applicable, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the contracting of the instruments or less, where applicable, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the instruments. However, transaction costs are subsequently recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that they do not form part of the actual change in the hedge.
  • Treatment of financial instruments that are not allocated to a specific liability and do not qualify for hedge accounting: gains or losses arising from the restatement at fair value of these financial instruments are recognised directly in profit and loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when a hedging instrument expires or is sold or exercised, or when the hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Accumulated gains or losses on hedging instruments recognised in equity remain under this heading until the transaction is performed. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss recognised in the Company's equity is transferred to profit and loss for the year.

Prospective and retrospective testing for hedging instrument effectiveness is carried out on a monthly basis:

  • Retrospective tests measure how effectively the derivative instrument would have hedged the liability over its life, using historical interest rates to date.
  • Prospective tests measure the instrument's expected effectiveness on the basis of forward interest rates as published by Bloomberg at the measurement date. This is adjusted monthly from the inception of the hedge on the basis of the historical interest rates already established.

The method used to determine the effectiveness of hedging financial instruments consists of calculating the statistical correlation between the reference interest rates at each fixing date of the derivative and the related hedged liability.

The Company's directors have considered the credit risk in the measurement of the derivatives portfolios, with no significant impact seen as at 31 December 2022 and 2021.

The Company's use of financial derivatives is governed by a set of approved risk management policies and hedges.

f) Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale, and related liabilities

Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if it is estimated that their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale rather than through continuing use. This condition is met when the sale of the asset is considered highly probable, the asset is in condition to be sold immediately and the sale is expected to be fully realised within a period of no more than twelve months from its classification as a held-for-sale asset.

The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale when the Board of Directors or Executive Committee has officially approved the disposal and the sale is considered highly probable within a period of twelve months

Liabilities linked to non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet under "Liabilities linked to assets held for sale".

g) Statement of cash flows (indirect method)

The following terms are used in the statement of cash flows with the meanings specified:

  • Cash flows: inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid investments that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
  • Operating activities: the principal ordinary revenue-producing activities and other activities that are not investing or financing activities.
  • Investing activities: the acquisition and disposal of non-current assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents
  • Financing activities: non-operating activities that result in changes in the size and composition of equity and liabilities.

h) Cash and cash equivalents

This heading includes bank deposits, carried at the lower of cost or market value.

Financial investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and that are not subject to any significant risk of changes in value are deemed to be cash equivalents.

Bank overdrafts are not considered to be cash and cash equivalents.

i) Current/non-current

The ordinary operating cycle is defined as the period from the acquisition of the assets used to carry on the Company's lines of business to the date that they are turned into cash or cash equivalents.

The Company's core business is property, for which the normal cycle of its operations is considered to correspond to the calendar year. Therefore, assets and liabilities maturing in one year or less are classified as current and those maturing in over one year as non-current.

Bank borrowings are classified as non-current if the Company has the irrevocable right to make payments after twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

j) Provisions and contingent liabilities

When preparing the financial statements, the Company's directors make a distinction between:

  • Provisions: creditor balances covering present obligations arising from past events with respect to which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, which is uncertain as to its amount and/or timing;
  • Contingent liabilities: possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

The financial statements include all the material provisions with respect to which it is considered that it is more likely than not that the obligation will have to be settled. Contingent liabilities are not recognised.

Provisions are stated at the present value of the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation or transfer it, taking into account the information available regarding the event and its consequences. Adjustments arising from the discounting of provisions are recognised as a finance expenses when accrued.

The reimbursement from third parties required to settle the obligation is recognised as a separate asset, provided that there are no doubts that the reimbursement will be received, unless there is a legal relationship whereby a portion of the risk has been externalised, transferring liability from the Company. In this situation, the reimbursement will be taken into account for the purpose of estimating the amount of the related provision that should be recognised.

k) Employee benefits

Termination benefits -

Under current Spanish legislation, the Company is required to pay termination benefits to employees terminated under certain conditions. Severance payments which can be reasonably quantified are recorded as an expense in the year in which the decision to terminate the contract is taken and a valid expectation regarding termination is transmitted to third parties. At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any provisions in this item.

Pension obligations -

In 2022 and 2021the Company assumed a commitment with executive directors and one member of senior management to make a defined contribution to an external pension plan that meets the requirements established by Royal Decree 1588/1999, of 15 October.

Share-based payments (Note 21-d) -

The Company recognises the goods and services received as an asset or an expense, depending on their nature, when they are received, along with an increase in equity if the transaction is settled using equity instruments or the corresponding liability if the transaction is settled at an amount based on the value of the equity instruments.

In the case of transactions settled with equity instruments, both the services rendered and the increase in equity are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, by reference to the grant date. If, on the other hand, they are settled in cash, the goods and services received and the corresponding liability are recognised at the fair value of the goods and services received as of the date on which the recognition requirements are met.

l) Corporate income tax (Note 18)

Income tax expense is the sum of the income or expense for current tax and the income or expense for deferred tax.

Current tax is the amount of taxes payable by the Company as a result of income tax settlements for a period. Deductions and other tax relief, excluding withholdings and payments on account, and tax loss carryforwards applied in the current reporting period are accounted for as a reduction in current tax.

Deferred tax expense or income relates to the recognition and settlement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include temporary differences measured at the amount expected to be payable or recoverable arising from differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and tax loss carryforwards and unused tax credits. These amounts are measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, unless the differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions charged or credited directly to equity are also recognised in equity.

In accordance with current legislation, when measuring deferred tax liabilities the Company reflects the tax consequences that would arise from the manner in which the carrying amount of its assets is expected to be recovered or settled. In this regard, for deferred tax liabilities that arise from investment properties, there is a refutable presumption that their carrying amount will be recovered through their sale.

The balance sheet includes the tax credits whose recovery is considered probable within a reasonable period of time, either due to the performance of the real estate market itself or to the taxable income generated by the results of the operations managed by the Company's management.

The deferred tax assets recognised are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and the appropriate adjustments are made to the extent that there are doubts as to their future recoverability. Also, unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that they will be recovered through future taxable profits.

Income tax expense (income) includes the amount of current tax payable (receivable) and

REIT regime -

Effective as of 1 January 2017 (Note 1), the tax regime of the Company and the majority of its Spanish subsidiaries is governed by Law 11/2009, of 26 October, as amended by Law 16/2012, of 27 December, governing listed real estate investment companies (REITs). Article 3 establishes the investment requirements of this type of company, namely:

  • REITs must have invested at least 80% of the value of their assets in urban properties earmarked for lease, in land to develop properties to be earmarked for that purpose, provided that development begins within three years following its acquisition, and in equity investments in other companies referred to in Article 2.1 of the aforementioned Law.

The value of the asset is calculated based on the average of the quarterly individual balance sheets of the year. To calculate this value, the REIT may opt to substitute the carrying amount for the fair value of the items contained in these balance sheets, which will apply to all the balance sheets of the year. Any money or collection rights arising from the transfer of the aforementioned properties or investments made in the year or in prior years will not be included in the calculation unless, in the latter case, the reinvestment period referred to in Article 6 of the aforementioned Law has expired.

This percentage must be calculated on the average of the consolidated balances if the company is the parent of a group, in accordance with the criteria established in Article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code, regardless of its place of residence and of the obligation to formally prepare consolidated financial statements. Such a group must be composed exclusively of the REITs and the other entities referred to in Article 2.1 of the aforementioned Law.

  • Similarly, at least 80% of the rental income from the tax period corresponding to each year, excluding the rental income arising from the transfer of the ownership interests and the properties used by the company to achieve its main corporate purpose, once the holding period referred to below has elapsed, should be obtained from the lease of properties and dividends or shares of profits arising from the aforementioned investments.

This percentage must be calculated based on the consolidated balances if the company is the parent of a group, in accordance with the criteria established in Article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code, regardless of its place of residence and of the obligation to formally prepare consolidated financial statements. Such a group must be composed exclusively of the REITs and the other entities referred to in Article 2.1 of the aforementioned Law.

The properties included in the REIT's assets should remain leased for at least three years. The time during which the properties have been made available for lease will be included in calculating this term, with a maximum of one year.

The term will be calculated:

  • For properties that are included in the REIT's assets before the company avails itself of the regime, from the beginning of the first tax period in which the special tax regime set forth in this Law is applied, provided that the property is leased or offered for lease at that date.
  • For properties developed or acquired subsequently by the REIT, from the date on which they were leased or made available for lease for the first time.
  • In the case of shares or investments in entities referred to in Article 2.1 of this Law, they should be retained on the asset side of the REIT's balance sheet for at least three years following their acquisition or, where applicable, from the beginning of the first tax period in which the special tax regime set forth in this Law is applied.

As established in transitional provision one of Law 11/2009, of 26 October, amended by Law 16/2012, of 27 December, governing listed real estate investment companies, these companies may opt to apply the special tax regime under the terms and conditions established in Article 8 of this Law, even if it does not meet the requirements established therein, provided that such requirements are met within two years after the date of the option to apply that regime.

Failure to meet this condition will require the REIT to file income tax returns under the general tax regime from the tax period in which the aforementioned condition is not met. The REIT will also be obliged to pay, together with the amount relating to the aforementioned tax period, the difference between the amount of tax payable under the general tax regime and the amount paid under the special tax regime in the previous tax periods, including any applicable late-payment interest, surcharges and penalties.

The corporate income tax rate for REITs is set at 0% However, where the dividends that the REIT distributes to its shareholders holding an ownership interest equal to or exceeding 5% are exempt from tax or are subject to a tax rate lower than 10%, at the main office of this shareholder, the REIT shall be subject to a special charge of 19%, which shall be considered to be the income tax charge, on the amount of the dividend distributed to these shareholders. If applicable, this special charge must be paid by the REIT within two months after the dividend distribution date.

SOCIMIs are obliged to distribute 80% of ordinary profits, 50% of the profits derived from the transfer of real estate or shares that have met the maintenance requirement, as dividends on an annual basis, provided that the other 50% is reinvested in eligible assets within a period of three years; if the other 50% is not reinvested within this period, such profits must be distributed in full together with "ordinary" profits, if any, arising from the year in which the reinvestment period ends and 100% of the profit from dividends from companies qualifying as qualifying investments (SOCIMIs and/or REITs).

m) Income and expense

General criterion -

Income and expense are recorded on an accruals basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of any discounts and taxes.

Revenue from sales is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset sold have been transferred to the buyer, but the current management of the asset is not maintained and effective control is not retained.

Property leases -

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever their terms imply that substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset have been transferred to the lessee Other leases are classified as operating leases. At 31 December 2022 and 2021, all of the Company's leases qualified as operating leases (Note 4-d).

Revenue from operating leases is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and the initial direct costs incurred in arranging these operating leases are taken to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the minimum term of the lease agreement.

The minimum term of a lease is considered to be the time elapsed from the start of the lease to the first option for renewing the lease.

Specific lease terms and conditions: lease incentives -

Lease agreements include certain specific conditions linked to incentives or rent-free periods offered by the Company to its customers. The Group recognises the aggregate cost of incentives it has granted as a reduction in rental income of the lease agreement on a straight-line basis. The effects of the rentfree periods are recognised during the minimum term of the lease agreement. Rent-free periods of more than one year are recognised in the balance sheet as non-current.

The indemnity payments made by lessees to cancel their lease agreements prior to their minimum termination date are also recognised as income in profit and loss on the date on which they are claimable.

Interest and dividends received -

Interest received on financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method, while dividends are recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established. In any event, interest and dividends on financial assets accruing after the date of acquisition are recognised as revenue in the income statement.

In line with that included in enquiry no. 79 of the Spanish Accounting and Audit Institute Official Gazette (BOICAC) and the ICAC ruling for revenue recognition of 10 February 2021, regarding the recognition of certain income (dividends, income from loans to related parties, etc.) for companies whose corporate purpose is the holding of financial assets, the Company recognised dividend income from holdings in controlling companies as an addition to "Revenue" in the income statement (Note 20).

n) Related-party transactions (Note 20)

All the Company's transactions with related parties are at arm's length. Transfer prices are adequately supported, and consequently the Parent's directors consider that no significant risks exist in this respect from which significant liabilities could arise in the future.

o) Costs passed on to lessees

The bulk of repair and maintenance expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the operation of its investment properties is passed on to the respective lessees. The Company does not consider as income the costs passed on to the lessees of its investment property, which are presented as a reduction of the corresponding costs in profit and loss. In 2022 and 2021, a total of 33.653 thousand euros and 27.934 thousand euros, respectively, were invoiced in this regard.

Direct operating expenses associated with rented investment property net of costs passed on that generated lease income during 2022 and 2021, included under "Profit from operations" in the income statement, amounted to 18.003 thousand euros and 16.979 thousand euros, respectively. Expenses incurred in connection with investment properties that did not generate rental income were not material.

p) Business combinations

Business combinations arising from the acquisition of all the assets of a company or of a party constituting one or more businesses are recorded in accordance with the method of acquisition.

In the case of business combinations resulting from the acquisition of shares or equity interests in a company, the Company recognises the investment in accordance with the provisions for equity investments in Group companies, jointly controlled entities and associates.

During the second half of 2022, the Company has cancelled forward starting hedging instruments for a nominal amount of 1.337.500 thousand euros, maturing in 2034 and 2035 (and initial terms of 7 and 10 years). The Parent applied hedge accounting to these instruments based on forecasted future debt issuance transactions. As the forecast transactions remain probable, the Company has retained in equity the amount recorded for the change in market value of these hedges up to the time of cancellation (185.752 thousand euros). This amount will be reclassified to the consolidated income statement as of the date on which the initially hedged debt issues were planned. These cancellations have resulted in a cost recorded in the income statement amounting to 1.992 thousand euros. In parallel, the Company has contracted new derivatives with a notional amount of 2.232.120 thousand euros and maturing in 2029, 2030, 2032 and 2033 (all with a term of 5 years).

During the first half of 2021, the Company cancelled hedging instruments for a nominal amount of 625,000 thousand euros, all of which mature in 2032 and 2033. These cancellations have entailed a transfer to the income statement of the amount recorded under "Hedging operations" in equity, amounting to 8,912 thousand euros of income, in addition to which these cancellations are associated with 193 thousand euros of commission expenses. At the same time, the Company arranged new financial hedging instruments for cash flow hedges of expected future transactions for a total amount of 625,000 thousand euros with maturities in 2033, 2034 and 2035.

In November 2021, the Company arranged new financial instruments for cash flows of expected future transactions for a total amount of 712,500 thousand euros with maturities in 2034 and 2035.

The fair value of the derivatives was calculated by discounting estimated future cash flows based on forward interest and exchange rates and on assigned volatility at each calculation date.

The General Shareholders' Meeting held on 30 June 2021 resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to issue, on behalf of the Company and on one or more occasions and for a maximum period of 5 years, bonds convertible into new shares of the Company or other similar securities that may give the right, directly or indirectly, to subscribe for shares of the Company, with the express power to exclude preferential subscription right of the shareholders up to a maximum of 20% of the share capital, and to increase the capital by the amount necessary to meet the conversion. The total maximum amount of the issue or issues of the securities that may be performed under this authorisation may not exceed a combined amount of 500,000 thousand euros or its equivalent in another currency.

On 30 June 2021, the General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors, in accordance with article 297.1 b) of the Spanish Companies Act, to increase the share capital through monetary contributions by up to half the amount of the share capital, within a maximum period of five years, on one or more occasions and at the time and by the amount it deems appropriate.

At 31 December 2022, taking into account the appropriation to the legal reserve included in the distribution of the Parent's profit for 2021 approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting held on 21 June 2022, the legal reserve has been increased to 58.639 thousand euros, although it had not yet reached the stipulated level at the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements (54.766 thousand euros at 31 December 2021).

Of the accounting profit for both financial years, a distinction has been made between the part of the profit that is taxed under the general income tax regime and the part that is taxed under the SOCIMI regime.

The main differences between the accounting result and the taxable income are explained below:

General regime -

  • In accordance with Law 16/2012, of 27 December, it was established that the accounting depreciation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property for tax periods starting in 2013 and 2014 would be deductible from the tax base by up to 70 per cent of that which would have been previously deductible for tax purposes. In this regard, the Company proceeded to make the corresponding adjustments to its tax base. From 20192015, and according to the provisions of the Law, the Company has been recovering annually one tenth of the allocations made to depreciation in 2013 and 2014, which were considered non-deductible.
  • Inclusion in the tax base of differences between carrying amounts and tax values arising from corporate operations recorded in prior years (Note 1).
  • Other provisions that were not tax deductible in previous years.

REIT regime -

  • Exemption for dividends from subsidiaries
  • Property impairment that is not tax deductible.
  • Impairment of financial investments considered not to be tax deductible.
  • In accordance with Law 27/2014 of 27 November on corporate income tax according to article 16, the financial expense exceeding 30% of the operating profit for the year has been adjusted on a temporary basis.
  • Inclusion in the tax base of differences between carrying amounts and tax values arising from corporate operations recorded in prior years (Note 1).
  • Non-deductible provisions.

The reconciliation of the accounting result to the income tax expense recognised in the profit and loss account under the general tax regime is as follows:

Thousands of euros

21. Remuneration and other benefits to the Board of Directors and members of senior management

a) Composition of the Board of Directors of the Company

At 31 December 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company consists of 7 men and 4 women (8 men and 3 women at 31 December 2021).

At 31 December 2022, its composition was as follows:

Director Position Director Type
Mr Juan José Brugera Clavero Chairman Other external
Mr Pedro Viñolas Serra Vice-chairman Executive
Mr Sheikh Ali Jassim M. J. Al-Thani Director Proprietary
Mr Adnane Mousannif Director Proprietary
Mr Carlos Fernández González Director Proprietary
Mr Juan Carlos García Cañizares Director Proprietary
Mr Luis Maluquer Trepat Director Independent
Ms Silvia Mónica Alonso-Castrillo Allain Director Independent
Ms Ana Lucrecia Bolado Valle Director Independent
Ms Ana Cristina Peralta Moreno Director Independent
Ms Begoña Orgambide García Director Proprietary

In accordance with the provisions of Article 229 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, at the end of 2022 the Company's directors did not report to other members of the Board any direct or indirect conflict of interest that they, or any person associated with them as defined by the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, may have with respect to the Company.

On 22 February 2022, the Company reported that the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Juan Brugera Clavero, reached, in April 2022, the maximum age set in France to hold the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors and, therefore, on that date, he ceased to hold the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of SFL. In this regard, the Board of Directors of the Company, following a favourable report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee ("ARC" hereinafter), has also resolved, effective 30 April 2022, to terminate his executive duties as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and to continue as a non-executive chairman with the status of "other external".

In addition, with effect from 30 April 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company, following a report from the ARC, has considered that the figure of the coordinating director required by law is not necessary for those cases in which the Chairman of the Board of Directors is an executive director. Therefore, Luis Maluquer Trepat continues as an independent director.

On 30 August 2022, the director Javier López Casado left the Board due to death.

On 27 September 2022, Begoña Orgambide García was appointed director in place of Javier López Casado.

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Company had taken out a civil liability insurance policy covering all of its directors, executives and employees, for a total of 620 thousand euros and 500 thousand euros, respectively. The aforementioned amount includes, for both years, the civil liability insurance premium paid for damages caused by acts or omissions.

The General Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 June 2016 approved the granting of a defined-contribution scheme for executive directors covering retirement and, when applicable, disability and death, with overall annual contributions of 150 thousand euros and 225 thousand euros in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In addition to that stated in the previous paragraph, the Company has not been awarded loans or taken out other pension plans or life insurance for the previous and current members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

At 31 December 2022, a member of the board of directors had signed golden parachute clauses in the event of certain cases of termination or change of control, all of which were approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting (two members at 31 December 2021).

With effect from 30 April 2022 Juan José Brugera Clavero's employment relationship with the Company was terminated, resulting in the payment of an indemnity of 3,000 thousand euros, which is included under the heading "Remuneration accrued by executive directors".

In 2021 there were no finalisations, modifications or early terminations of contracts outside of the normal business activities between the Company and the members of the Board of Directors or any other person acting on their behalf.

c) Compensation to senior management

The senior management of the Company, excluding the Chief Executive Officer and other executive directors whose remuneration is included in the remuneration of the members of the board of directors, consists of all senior executives and other persons other than the Chief Executive Officer who, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, assume the management of the Company. At 31 December 2022, senior management comprised three men and three women (three men and two women at 31 December 2021).

Monetary remuneration received by senior management in 2022 amounted to 2.237 thousand euros (1.519 thousand euros in 2021). Furthermore, in 2021 received 998 thousand euros corresponding to the long-term incentives plan.

The Board of Directors held on 27 July 2016 approved awarding a member of senior management a defined contribution scheme that covers retirement contingencies and, where appropriate, disability and death. At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Company recognised an annual contribution for this item under "Staff costs" in the income statement of 67 thousand euros and 63 thousand euros, for both years.

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, one member of the senior management team had signed a guarantee or "golden parachute" clause in the event of certain cases of termination or change of control.

d) Long-term compensation plan linked to compliance with various management indicators

Former long-term remuneration plan of the Company

On 21 January 2014, shareholders at the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting set up a long-term remuneration plan for the Chairman and the Managing Director of the Company and for members of the Group's Management Committee, applicable from 2014 to 2018.

The plan was extended twice, and was rendered ineffective by the adoption of the new plan.

Shares received in execution of this plan may not be disposed of or transmitted by the beneficiaries thereof until three years have elapsed from the date of delivery, except those required to pay the taxes derived from their accrual.

On 24 April 2021, the Company settled the outstanding obligations relating to compliance with the plan once the Board had calculated the number of shares to be delivered to the beneficiaries of the Plan, in accordance with the level of fulfilment of indicators for 2021, which stood at 296,337 shares. On that date, the shares were delivered to their beneficiaries. Of these shares, 131,861 were delivered to members of the Board of Directors and 164,476 to members of senior management with a market value of 1,364 thousand euros and 1,702 thousand euros, respectively.

New long-term remuneration plan of the Company

On 30 June 2021, the General Shareholders' Meeting approved a new long-term incentive plan consisting of the delivery of shares in the Company, aimed at executives, including the Company's executive directors, and other employees of the Colonial Group (the "Plan").

The Plan will have a duration of five years and will be divided into three overlapping annual cycles of three years each, independent of each other. The first cycle of the New Plan will correspond to the threeyear period between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2023, the second cycle of the New Plan to the three-year period between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2024 and the third cycle of the New Plan to the three-year period between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2025. The maximum number of shares to be delivered to the executive directors in the first cycle of the New Plan is 170,196 shares for the executive chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and 340,392 shares for the chief executive officer of Colonial.

As a general rule, the maximum total number of shares of the Company that, in execution of the Plan, will be delivered to the beneficiaries of the Plan at the end of each cycle will be the result of dividing the maximum amount allocated to the corresponding cycle by the weighted average listed price of the Company's shares in the 30 trading days prior to 1 January 2021. In addition, the number of shares to be received will be increased by a number of shares equivalent to the amount of dividends per share distributed by Colonial to its shareholders during each cycle based on the number of shares assigned to the beneficiary in the cycle. For these purposes, the weighted average of Colonial's share price on the dividend payment dates in each of the years of the cycle will be taken as the reference value of the share.

The delivery of the Company's shares under the first cycle of the New Plan will take place in 2024, after the audited financial statements for 2023 have been prepared. The specific date of delivery of the shares will be determined by the Board of Directors.

Exceptionally, on 17 July 2022, following a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, 41,691 shares were delivered in advance to Juan José Brugera Clavero as accrual of the first cycle of the new plan while he had maintained his employment relationship with the Company, including 14,592 shares earmarked for the fulfilment of the tax obligations of payment on account. These shares had a market value at the time of delivery of 252 thousand euros.

Shares received under this plan may not be sold or transferred by beneficiaries within the first two years of receiving them, except as required to pay any taxes chargeable in this regard.

In 2022, the Company recognised an expense of 983 thousand euros (Note 19-b) under "Staff costs" (670 thousand euros in 2021), to cover the incentives plan approved on 30 January 2021.

Thousands of euros
Description 2022 2021
Audit services 309 279

At 31 December 2022, the principal auditor's fees for other professional services rendered to the Company amount to 68 thousand euros and correspond to reviews of ESG indicators contained in the integrated Annual Report, the Green Bonds report, the greenhouse gas inventory (55 thousand euros at 31 December 2021).

The non-audit services provided to the Company's subsidiaries are detailed in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. and subsidiaries. The main auditor's fees represent less than 1% of its turnover in Spain.

c) Capital management: Policy and objectives

As mentioned in Note 1, the Company is the parent company of Colonial Group.

Companies that operate in the real estate sector require a significant level of investment to guarantee the development of their projects and the growth of their business through the acquisition of real estate in equity and/or land.

The Group's financial structure requires its sources of financing to be diversified in entities as well as products and maturity, with the objective of ensuring its companies continue to be profitable businesses and being able to maximise shareholder return.

Financial risk management policy -

The Group efficiently manages financial risks with the objective of having an adequate financial structure that allows high levels of liquidity to be maintained as well as minimising financing costs, reducing volatility due to capital changes and ensuring compliance with its business plans.

  • Interest-rate risk: The risk management policy has the objective of limiting and controlling the impact of variations in interest rates on the result and cash flows, maintaining the level of indebtedness and the overall cost of debt in line with the Group's credit rating.

To achieve this objective, interest rate hedging instruments are contracted, if necessary, to cover possible financial cost fluctuations. The Group's policy is to contract instruments that comply with the provisions of the accounting regulations to be considered as efficient accounting coverage, and thus record its market value variations directly in the Group's other consolidated result. At 31 December 2022, the percentage of hedged or fixed-rate debt as a proportion of total debt stands at 97% in Spain (93% at 31 December 2021).

  • Liquidity risk: In order to manage liquidity risk and meet the diverse needs for funds, based on the annual treasury budget, the Group monitors the treasury forecasts monthly.

The Group considers the following mitigating factors for liquidity risk management: (i) the generation of recurring cash in the businesses on which the Group bases its activity; (ii) the ability to renegotiate and obtain new financing facilities based on long-term business plans and (iii) the quality of the Group's assets.

Occasionally there may be excess cash making it possible to have undrawn credit facilities or highlyliquid deposits with no risk. At 31 December 2022, the Group has sufficient financing facilities to meet its short-term maturities. The Group does not arrange high-risk financial products as a method of investing cash surpluses.

  • Counterparty risk: The Group mitigates this risk by carrying out financial operations with leading institutions, as well as accessing the debt market through bond issues.
  • Credit risk: The Company periodically analyses the exposure of its accounts receivable to the risk of default, carrying out a follow-up of the credit settlement and, where appropriate, of the record of credit impairments for which it is estimated that there is a risk of default.

23. Average period of payment to suppliers

The information required by the second final provision of Law 31/2014, of 3 December, amending the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law for the improvement of corporate governance, and modifying the third additional provision of Law 15/2010, of 5 July, amending Law 3/2004, of 29 December, establishing measures to combat late payments in trade operations, all in accordance with the provisions of the resolution of 29 January 2016 of the Institute of Accounting and Audit of Accounts (ICAC) on the information to be incorporated in the notes to the financial statements in relation to the average period of payment to suppliers in trade operations.

Total payments made 127,357 219,061

Amount (in thousands of euros) 127,357 95,866 75.27

The data included in the previous table on payments to suppliers refer to those that by their nature are accounts payable for debts with suppliers of goods and services, so that data related to "Trade payables" and "Other accounts payable" are included from the balance sheet.

On 26 July 2013, Law 11/2013 on measures to support entrepreneurs, stimulate growth and job creation, which modifies the Late Payment Law (Law 3/2004, of 29 December) entered into force. This modification establishes that the maximum period of payment to suppliers, from 29 July 2013, is 30 days, unless there is a contract between the parties that raises this to a maximum of 60 days.

In relation to payments made outside the maximum legal term set, these correspond mainly to payments related to contracting works and real estate renovation, which are paid within the term established in the corresponding contracts signed with the contractors.

24. Events after the reporting date

From 31 December 2022 to the date on which these financial statements were authorised for issue, no significant events took place with the exception of:

  • − On 19 January 2023, the Company signed a sale and purchase agreement for the sale of three properties located in Madrid for a total sale price of 315,000 thousand euros, which gave rise to a profit of 93,170 thousand euros, including indirect selling costs (Note 13). In addition, the mortgage loan associated with one of these assets was repaid early in the amount of 75,700 thousand euros (Note 16-d).
  • − On 29 January 2023, the Company cancelled the bilateral loan drawn down in the amount of 100,000 thousand euros, reducing the financial liabilities indexed to ESG indicators to 0.4% (Note 16-e).

Company situation

Rental Market Situation

Barcelona

Take-up in the Barcelona office market stood at 331,000 sqm in 2022, in line with the last 10-year average. Demand polarization for city centre products has decreased the CBD vacancy rate to 5.4%. Demand continues to be led by technology and professional services sector, capturing 50% of the market. Prime rents remained at a high of €28/sqm/month.

In Barcelona, the investment volume reached 1,100 million euros, with 80% of the transactions taking place in 22@. High economic uncertainty has pushed prime yields to 4%.

Madrid

In the office market in Madrid, 507,000 sqm were signed in 2022, up +23% compared to the previous year. More than 50% of the contracts were signed on assets in city centre locations, within the M-30. This dynamic has reduced the vacancy rate to 11.3% (12.3% in December 2021). The vacancy rate in the CBD decreased to 5.5% and for Grade A product it was down to 1.9%. This high volume and number of letting transactions in the CBD has settled prime rents at €37/sqm/month in 2022.

Business performance and results

Introduction

At 31 December 2022, the Company's turnover amounted to 328 million euros, 177 million euros of which correspond to dividends from subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the independent valuation carried out by CB Richard Ellis and Cushman & Wakefield in Spain at the end of the year, have led to the recognition of an impairment loss of (42) million euros. The impairment, which has been recorded, does not represent a cash outflow.

The Company's net financial result amounted to (61) million euros.

Profit/(loss) before tax at year-end 2022 amounts to 116 million euros.

Finally, the Company's profit after tax amounted to 116 million euros.

2022 results

Recurring net income (APM) per share of 29.8 cents of euro exceeding the upper range of guidance

1. Recurring net income (APM) of 161 million euros, +26% compared to the previous year

The Colonial Group closed 2022 with a strong increase in the recurring results driven by the double-digit growth in rental income.

  • Analytical rental income of 354 million euros, +13% over the previous year.
  • Recurring net income of 161 million euros, +26% compared to the previous year.
  • Recurring net income per share of €29.8cts, +21% compared to the previous year.

The significant increase in the Recurring Net Profit is mainly due to the growth in rental income driven by Colonial's asset portfolio. Thanks to its prime positioning, it is able to capture the indexation impacts, as well as a growth in rental prices on signed contracts. In addition, the successful project delivery has enabled the Company to obtain significant additional income.

The efficient management of operating costs has resulted in an EBITDA growth of +14% year-on-year which, together with controlled financial costs, has led to an increase of +26% in the net recurring profit, reaching 161 million euros for 2022.

The Gross Asset Value amounted to 13,005 million euros at 31 December 2022 and remained stable in likefor-like terms (1+% like-for-like), consequently the net profit of the Colonial Group amounted to 8 million euros.

2. Analytical rental income of 354 million euros, +13% vs last year

Colonial closes 2022 with Analytical Rental Income of 354 million euros, +13% vs 2021 thanks to the high Pricing Power of the Colonial portfolio and the successful delivery of projects together with a clear Prime focus on quality in Paris, Madrid and Barcelona.

Income growth: Pricing Power & Projects

Three growth drivers delivered +56 million euros in additional rents compared to 2021, contributing +18% to income growth:

    1. Pricing Power contribution of +6% to overall growth The Core portfolio contributed +20 million euros to income growth based on a solid like-for-like growth of +7% due to the strong Pricing Power, enabling to fully capture the indexation impact and to achieve maximum market rents.
    1. Projects delivered contribution of +7% to overall growth Project deliveries and the renovation program have contributed +22 million euros to income growth (a contribution of +7% to overall growth). Highlighted is the income contribution from Marceau and Biome in Paris, as well as from Velázquez 86D, Miguel Ángel 23 and Ortega & Gasset in Madrid.
    1. Acquisition of Prime Assets a contribution of +4% to global growth The acquisitions of the Amundi headquarters in Paris and the Danone headquarters in the CBD of Barcelona have contributed +14 million euros to income growth.
    1. Disposal program Flight to Quality The disposal of non-strategic assets and other non-comparable impacts have led to a (5%) decrease year-on-year in the rental income of 2022.

Income growth: Polarization and Prime Pan-European Positioning

The Group's annual revenue growth is solid both in total terms with +13%, as well as in comparable terms with an increase of +7% like-for-like demonstrating the strength of Colonial's positioning.

The like-for-like revenue increase of +7% is among the highest in the sector and is a clear reflection of the polarisation of the market towards the best branch product.

    1. The largest growth in rental income was in the Paris market, with an increase of +17% in total terms and +8% like-for-like. This increase is mainly due to the higher rents and occupancy levels in the Édouard VII, #Cloud and Washington Plaza assets, as well as higher rents in the 92 Champs Elysées asset.
    1. In the Madrid portfolio, the rental revenue increased +8% in absolute terms. The comparable perimeter of assets registered an increase of +6% like-for-like. This like-for-

like increase is mainly due to the José Abascal 45, Castellana 163, Serrano 73 and Estébanez Calderón assets, based on a combination of higher rents and higher occupancy levels.

  1. In Barcelona, the rental revenue increased +8% for the entire portfolio, driven by a strong increase of +9% like-for-like, mainly due to higher rents on the Parc Glories, Diagonal 609-615, Dau Retail, Diagonal 682 and Diagonal 197 assets.

3. Disposal program of more than 500 million euros – Flight to Quality

At the closing date of this document, the Colonial Group is finalizing a disposal program of more than 500 million euros with prices in line with the appraisal.

Of the total disposal program, 84 million euros was made in 2022. Additionally, during the first half of 2023, the disposal of 6 assets is expected to be finalized amount 420 million euros. It is important to highlight that 3 of the assets have already been sold and the rest of the disposals program is expected to be finalized during the 1H 2023.

The disposal program includes 10 assets with a total surface area of 98,215 sqm with no further value creation potential. Of the almost 100,000 sqm of the disposal program, 27% corresponds to land plots of land and/or non-strategic assets with high vacancy levels, another 35% to buildings in secondary locations and the rest correspond to mature assets without long-term value creation potential.

The sale price of the program implies an initial yield (EPRA Net Initial Yield) below 2.5% and the CBD assets in Madrid were disposed of for a capital value of more than €9,000/sqm

The disposal program is part of the flight to quality strategy, which, through the active management of the portfolio, divests mature and/or non-strategic assets in order to recycle capital for new opportunities of value creation and to continually improve the risk return profile of the Group.

4. Resilient asset values - Polarization & Prime Positioning

The gross asset value of the Colonial Group at the close of 2022 amounted to 13,005 million euros (13,727 million euros including transfer costs), showing an increase of +5% compared to the previous year. In likefor-like terms, Colonial's portfolio was revalued by +1% compared to the previous year.

Polarization & Prime Pan-European Positioning

In a highly volatile environment with interest rate hikes, the value of the asset portfolio has shown defensive performance, thanks to its Pan-European Prime Positioning. The Colonial Group's successful bet on Paris is reflected in the solid results. The Paris portfolio has registered the best growth in the Group's portfolio with year-on-year growth of +2% like-for-like. Madrid and Barcelona have remained stable thanks to the focus in CBD and city centre locations, which have shown a much more defensive nature than secondary areas.

Alpha Value Creation: "Pricing Power" & Projects

In a market environment of interest rate hikes, the valuation of Colonial's assets have been impacted by an expansion in the valuation yields1 (24bps1 in 12 months). However, it is important to highlight that those impacts have been offset by two Alpha value creation drivers: (1) Pricing Power: the improvement in the cash flows due to the capture of the indexation impact, as well as higher market rents (ERVs) and (2), the successful delivery and progress of projects that have enabled the crystallization of double-digit value creation margins.

Resilient Net Asset Value (NAV)

The Net Asset Value as of 31 December 2022 amounted to €6,384 million euros corresponding to €11.83/share. Including the dividend paid of €0.24/share, the Net Asset Value for Colonial's shareholders was €12.07/share, in line with the NTA 2021 of €12.04/share.

In an environment with high volatility and an energy crisis, the quality positioning together with the active management of Alpha value creation has enabled Colonial to maintain a stable Net Asset Value.

Significant acceleration in the operating fundamentals

1. Record take-up volume – Polarization and greater market

At the close of 2022, the Group has signed more than 176,000 sqm, reaching the second highest take-up volume in its history and exceeding by +4% the previous year, which already was a record year in letting activity.

The solid results are a clear evidence of the polarization trend in the office markets, characterized by a demand that prioritizes top-quality Grade A products in the best locations. Colonial's prime portfolio clearly benefits in this context and is capturing additional market share in the rental markets in which it operates.

In economic terms (sqm signed multiplied by signed rents), contracts were signed for an annualized rent amount of 75 million euros.

61% of the total letting activity (107,419 sqm) corresponds to new contracts signed, spread across the three markets in which the Group operates. Regarding contract renewals, a total of 69,476 sqm were signed, highlighting 54,443 sqm renewed in Madrid.

2. Sound occupancy levels

The occupancy of the Colonial Group stands at 96%. Of special mention is the Paris market with almost full occupancy at 99.8%.

A large part of the current office vacancy corresponds to the recently delivered renovation programs and the corresponding entries into operation, highlighting in Barcelona the Torre Marenostrum and Diagonal 530 assets. At the current date, advanced conversations are taking place for various floors plant in the Diagonal 530 building, one of the best assets in the Barcelona market.

3. Rent Increases - Polarisation & Pricing Power

Pricing Power – Capturing the highest rental prices on the market

In an environment of rental demand polarization and given the scarcity of Grade A product, Colonial's prime portfolio attracts clients that sign at maximum rental prices.

The maximum rents signed in the portfolio of the Group reached €1,000/sqm/year in Paris, as well as €40/sqm/month in Madrid and €28/sqm/month in Barcelona.

With these pricing levels, Colonial's portfolio clearly sets the benchmark for prime assets in each of the markets in which it operates.

Pricing Power - Indexation captured in all contracts with an average growth of +5%

The Colonial Group's asset portfolio captures the impact of the indexation on rents: The Colonial Group has applied in all the contracts the corresponding indexation of the rental price. As a result of the indexation on the contract portfolio in 2022, the annualized passing rents of the corresponding contracts have increased by +5% (+7% in Spain and +3% in Paris).

These results show the strong Pricing Power of Colonial's Prime portfolio. Both the quality of the clients and the nature of the Colonial Group's contracts enable the full indexation impact to be captured, providing clear protection over the cash flow of the assets in an inflationary environment such as the current one.

Pricing Power – Rental income growth above market rents

The Colonial Group closed 2022 with a growth of +5% in rental prices compared to the market rents (ERV) as of December 2021.

The greatest increases in rental prices were signed on the Paris portfolio with a +5% increase (+6% for the office portfolio), and in Madrid, prices were signed +5% higher than the market rents of 31/12/21.

Pricing Power - Increase in rent renewals, release spreads of +6%

Rent increases in renewals: Colonial has increased the rents with current clients by +6% compared to the previous rents (release spreads). These ratios highlight the reversionary potential of Colonial's contract portfolio with significant room for improvement on the current rents.

The increases compared to the previous rents (release spreads) were significant in the three markets in which the Group operates. Worth mentioning are the asset portfolios in Madrid and Paris, with a release spread of +6%. In Barcelona, the release spread was at +5%.

These increases highlight the pricing power of Colonial's assets to unlock the reversionary potential of Colonial's contract portfolio.

Project Pipeline and Renovation Program

1. Pipeline of projects practically delivered and pre-leased

The Colonial Group has a project pipeline of 184,455 sqm across 8 assets.

At the date of publication of these results, the pre-let levels and the levels of project delivery on the pipeline were both very high:

    1. High level of pre-letting of the portfolio: 7 of 8 projects
  • Of the 8 projects of the project pipeline, 7 are already pre-let (6 projects at 100% and Velázquez at 86%), with the Campus in Méndez Álvaro being the only asset pending to be pre-let. At the end of 2022, the commercialization of this unique project began generating high interest in the Madrid market.
  • In Barcelona, an agreement has been reached to rent 100% of the Plaza Europa 34 asset.
  • The current pre-let volume is at 55 million euros, corresponding to 67% of the total income from the project portfolio, amounting to 82 million euros. These pre-lets ensure significant future income increases that will be completely crystallized in the profit and loss accounts of 2023 and 2024.
    1. High degree of progress in delivery/entry into operation The degree of progress in the project portfolio is very high; to date, 6 out of 8 projects are all practically delivered.
  • Marceau and Diagonal 525 were delivered at the end of 2021.
  • Velázquez 86D and Miguel Angel 23 in Madrid & Biome in Paris entered into operation by the end of 2022.
  • In the coming weeks, the Plaza Europa 34 project in Barcelona will be delivered.
  • The Méndez Álvaro and Louvre Saint Honoré projects are progressing according to the expected timeline.

2. Renovation program successfully executed

The Colonial Group's renovation program counts on 108,294 sqm spread over 9 assets, 4 assets located in Paris (103 Grenelle, Charles de Gaulle, Washington Plaza and Cézanne St. Honoré), 2 assets in Madrid (Cedro and Ortega y Gasset) and 3 assets in Barcelona (Torre Marenostrum, Diagonal 530 and Parc Glories II).

Of the entire renovation program, 8 assets (with a total surface area of 90,434 sqm) have been delivered and pre-let with significant rental price increases. The project portfolio in renovation has potential rents of 46 million euros.

The renovation program on the Parc Glories II building in Barcelona is currently under analysis.

Capital structure

1. A strong balance sheet for future growth

At the close of 2022, the Colonial Group had a solid balance sheet, both in terms of LTV and liquidity, specifically taking into account the disposal program.

Including the disposal program impact for more than 500 million euros, the debt profile of the Colonial Group considerably improves in all metrics:

  • Net debt would be reduced by 421 million euros to 4,934 million euros and liquidity would increase to 2,645 million euros.
  • Pro forma LTV would decrease by (180bp) to 36.9% (post divestments).

The current liquidity, between cash and undrawn credit lines, enables the Colonial Group to cover all their debt maturities until 2027.

Likewise, the Colonial Group's debt has a high level of interest rate coverage thanks to a high volume of fixed-rate bonds together with hedging instruments contracted for long-term maturities.

  • 100% of the Group's net debt is a fixed interest rate (post disposals).
  • 70% of the Colonial Group's debt has maturities from 2025 onwards.
  • 53% of the future issues of the Group's debt have interest rate pre-hedging instruments at a 0.6% strike rate, significantly limiting the impact of the interest rate hikes after the bond maturities.
  • At the close of 2022, the market value (Mark-to-Market) of the interest rate coverage contracted by the Colonial Group amounts to 277 million euros.

Thanks to the successful hedging strategy, the Colonial Group closed the year with a Net Disposal Value (NDV) of 6,862 million euros corresponding to 12.72 euros/share, an increase of +15% vs the previous year, driven by the positive mark-to-market impact in the debt.

The Group's strong financial profile is reflected in a BBB+ credit rating from Standard & Poor's, the highest in the Spanish real estate sector.

Liquidity and capital resources

See "Average payment period to suppliers" "Note 22-c" to the annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The Company's Average Payment Period (APP) to its suppliers for the financial year 2022 is 43 days. In relation to payments made outside the maximum legal term set, these correspond mainly to payments related to contracting works and real estate renovation, which are paid within the term established in the corresponding contracts signed with the contractors.

The Company has established two payment days per month to comply with the requirements set forth in Law 11/2013, of 26 July. In this regard, the dates of entry are on the 5th and 20th of each month and the corresponding payments are made on the 5th and 20th of the following month.

Objective and risk management policies

Asset management is exposed to various internal and external risks and uncertainties that can impact Colonial's activity. Therefore, Colonial aims to create sustainable value by optimising the constantly evolving ratio between profitability and risk in financial, environmental, social and economic areas, among others. This balance, together with a holistic and dynamic vision of risk, reinforces Colonial's leadership in the sector and consolidates its position in the long term. Risk management is a key aspect in Colonial's organisational culture, and for this reason, the Group has developed the Risk Control and Management System (hereinafter, RCMS), which establishes a basis for efficient and effective management of the risks throughout the organisation.

To meet these corporate objectives, the risks to which Colonial is exposed are identified, analysed, evaluated, managed, controlled and updated. With the objective of maintaining an effective and updated RCMS, Colonial has prepared a corporate risk map, which identifies the main risks that affect the Group, and evaluates them in terms of impact and probability of occurrence. This map is reviewed and updated periodically every year, with the aim of having an integrated and dynamic risk management tool, which evolves with changes in the environment in which the company operates and changes in the organisation itself.

The main responsibilities in relation to the RMCS correspond to the board of directors, the audit and control committee and the internal audit unit. The RCMS also explicitly determines the responsibilities of senior management, operational management and risk owners in relation to risk management.

The Board of Directors is assigned the function of determining the risk control and management policy, including tax policies, identifying the main risks of the Group and implementing and supervising the internal information and control systems, in order to ensure future viability. and competitiveness of the Group, adopting the most relevant decisions for its best development. For the management of this function, it has the support of the audit and control committee, which performs, among others, the following functions related to the field of control and risk management:

  • Submit a report on risk policy and risk management to the board for approval.
  • Periodically review the control and risk management systems, so that the main risks are identified, managed and adequately disclosed.
  • Oversee the process of preparing, the integrity and presentation of mandatory (financial and nonfinancial) public information.

Additionally, Colonial has the regulatory compliance unit and the internal audit unit as tools to reinforce said objective. The regulatory compliance unit is responsible for ensuring adequate compliance with the norms and laws that may affect it to undertake its activity, and the internal audit function is responsible for carrying out the necessary supervision activities, contemplated in its annual plans approved by the Audit and Control Committee, to evaluate the effectiveness of the risk management processes and the action plans and controls implemented by the corresponding management teams to mitigate said risks.

For better risk management, Colonial differentiates in two broad areas the different types of risks to which the Group is exposed based on their origin:

  • External risks: risks related to the environment in which Colonial carries out its activity and that influence and condition the company's operations.
  • Internal risks: risks originated from the company's own activity and its management team.

The main external risks that Colonial faces to achieve its objectives include:

  • Economic risks arising from the political and macroeconomic climate in the countries in which it operates and changes in investors' own expectations and capital markets.
  • Market risks, derived from transformation in the industry and the business model itself, the greater complexity to develop the investment/divestment strategy, and the fluctuation of the real estate market with an impact on the valuation of real estate assets.
  • Financial risks, related with restrictions on capital markets, fluctuating interest rates, the impact of changes in tax regulations and those of the counterparty of the main clients.
  • Environmental risks, such as those related to crisis management, those arising from regulation and more stringent ESG demands, and mainly those related to physical and transition risks caused by climate change with consequences for the Group's activity.

The main internal risks that Colonial faces to achieve its objectives include:

  • Strategic risks in relation with the Group's size and diversification, with the asset portfolio breakdown.
  • Diverse operating risks related with the maintenance of occupancy levels of properties and the level of rental agreements, with the cost of the works projects, as well as the timeframe for their execution, with the management of debt levels and the current credit rating, with cyberattacks or failures in reporting systems, together with those specific to the management of the organisational structure and talent.
  • Risks arising from compliance with all applicable regulations and contractual obligations, including tax risks related to the loss of the status of REIT by Colonial and the loss by its French subsidiary Société Foncière Lyonnaise of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).

With regard to the main materialised risks to be highlighted in 2022, in which the effects of the pandemic began to stabilise, the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and the prolongation of this conflict has generated a high level of uncertainty in the economic environment worldwide and especially in Europe. Against this geopolitical and macroeconomic backdrop, the risk linked to the fluctuation of the real estate cycle has been highly impacted, mainly from the second half of the year, as a result of the historic increase in interest rates with the aim of trying to contain the high inflation that has characterised this year of 2022. In addition, given this context, the complexity of divestment operations of non-strategic assets remained high this year, as well as investment operations in new assets with attractive profitability, given that investment market strategies have been paralysed.

As a consequence of this sharp rise in interest rates, and in view of the uncertainty of a possible economic recession, the management of debt levels has continued to be a priority this year, with the aim of improving the levels of loan-to-value levels and to have a stronger financial structure to face the next financial year and to increase investment capacity in the face of opportunities that may arise in the sector.

Likewise, the increase in raw material, fuel and supply prices has had a significant impact worldwide and also on the real estate sector, especially on the execution and development of the Group's construction projects.

The physical and transitional risks linked to climate change have led to the implementation of climate change policies and strategies, with specific actions aimed at improving the quality of buildings and measuring their energy consumption levels, as well as optimising their environmental impact. Adaptation to the growing nonfinancial reporting requirements of the various stakeholders has led to a review of compliance with these requirements and the definition and implementation of control systems to respond to this increasingly demanding environment with the objective of the Group's commitment and compliance in this area.

Finally, regulatory risks, which are always present, have increased significantly, particularly in the ESG area, given the uncertainty generated by the impact of the European taxonomy.

In this complex context, the Group has reviewed and monitored the evolution of these risks, showing a high level of resilience, particularly in the strategic, operational and financial areas, and the proper functioning of the control systems in place, which has enabled it to manage and mitigate these risks adequately and to guarantee operations and preserve the Group's value.

Events after the reporting date

From 31 December 2022 to the date on which these consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue, no significant events took place with the exception of:

  • − On 19 January 2023, the Company signed a sale and purchase agreement for the sale of three properties located in Madrid for a total sale price of 315,000 thousand euros, which gave rise to a profit of 93,170 thousand euros, including indirect selling costs (Note 13). In addition, the mortgage loan associated with one of these assets was repaid early in the amount of 75,700 thousand euros.
  • − On 29 January 2023, the Company cancelled the bilateral loan drawn down in the amount of 100,000 thousand euros, reducing the financial liabilities indexed to ESG indicators to 0.4%.

Outlook

This year has been characterised by an economic context marked by high inflation and uncertainty. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine together with the energy crisis, among other factors, have led to an economic downturn in 2022, although the second half of the year was more resilient than expected. The outlook for 2023 is weaker for growth and lower dynamics are expected than those observed during 2022.

Barcelona and Madrid-

As far as the office market in Barcelona and Madrid is concerned, the prime market remains stable and the secondary and peripheral areas show a weak profile. The demand for quality assets in prime locations continues to be the most sought after by companies, basically due to the need to attract talent in companies with high added value, to offer the best working environment to their employees and to have the best mobility options.

Regarding rents, increases are observed in the city centre. In Barcelona, the prime rental benchmark has risen slightly to €28/m2 /month. In Madrid, Prime rent has surpassed the pre-Covid levels of late 2019, standing at €37/m2 /month.

The high uncertainty in the economic environment has put upward pressure on prime yields, with yields in Madrid and Barcelona reaching 4% in 2022.

Paris-

The Paris market is one of the most important worldwide and has a high level of liquidity.

As of today, the availability of office space in the city's best Grade A areas stands at 0.4%. The lack of product combined with the high demand from companies for prime products means that consultants expect office rents to remain high. In this regard, at the end of the second half of 2022, prime rents have increased to levels of €1,000/m²/year.

Future strategy-

In this market context, Colonial's strategy continues to be committed to long-term value creation in the prime office sector, with the focus on quality and yields adjusted to risk, and with a strong credit rating and liquidity position.

taxes that would accrue on the sale of
the assets at their market value,
applying the tax credits available to the
Group on a going concern basis.
Standard analysis ratio in real estate
and recommended by EPRA.
Gross Financial Debt (GFD) Calculated as the sum of the items
"Bank borrowings and other financial
liabilities", "Issuance of bonds and other
similar securities", and "Promissory
notes" excluding "Interest" (accrued),
"Arrangement
expenses",
"Other
financial
liabilities"
and
"Liabilities
associated with assets classified as
held for sale"
in the consolidated
statement of financial position.

Alternative
Performance
Measure Form of calculation Definition/Relevance
Loan to Value Group or LtV Group Calculated as the result of dividing "Net
financial debt (NFD)" by the sum of the
"Market Valuation including transaction
costs of the Group's asset portfolio"
plus the "Parent's treasury shares
valued at EPRA NTA".
This makes it possible to analyse the
relationship between net financial debt
and the valuation of assets in the
Group's portfolio.
Holding Company LtV or
Colonial LtV
Calculated as the result of dividing
"Gross
financial
debt"
minus
the
amount of the item "Cash and cash
equivalents"
of the Parent and the
wholly-owned
Spanish
subsidiaries,
adjusted
by
the
amount
of
the
commitments for "deferrals for real
estate
asset
purchase
and
sale
transactions", between the sum of "the
Market Valuation including transaction
costs of the asset portfolio of the
Group's parent company and wholly
owned Spanish subsidiaries", "treasury
shares of the parent company" and the
EPRA NTA of the remaining financial
holdings in subsidiaries".
This makes it possible to analyse the
relationship between net financial debt
and the valuation of assets in the
Group's parent company.
Like-for-like Rental Income Amount of rental income for rentals
included in "Revenue"
comparable
between two periods. In order to obtain
this amount, income from investments
or divestitures made between both
periods, those from assets included in
the project and renovation portfolio, as
well as other atypical adjustments (for
example,
compensation
for
early
termination of rental agreements) are
excluded from both periods.
This makes it possible to compare, on a
like-for-like basis, the change in rental
income of an asset or group of assets.
Analytical EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortisation)
Calculated
as
"Operating
profit"
adjusted
for
"Depreciation
and
amortisation", "Variations in value of
investment property", "Net change in
provisions"
and "Gains/(losses) on
changes in value of assets due to
impairment", as well as expenses
incurred
in
"Depreciation
and
amortisation"
and
"Net
finance
income/(expense)"
arising from the
recording of "IFRS 16 finance leases",
associated with the flexible business
(co-working).
Indicator of the Group's capacity to
generate profits considering only its
productive
activity,
eliminating
depreciation allowances, the effect of
indebtedness and the tax effect.
EBITDA income Calculated by adjusting to the analytical
EBITDA the "general expenses" and
"extraordinary
expenses"
not
associated
with
the
operation
of
property.
Indicator
of
the
Group's
earning
capacity considering only its leasing
activity, before depreciation, provisions,
the effect of indebtedness and the tax
effect.
