Independent auditor's report on the consolidated financial statements

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

Report on the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. (the Parent company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the financial statement as at 31 December 2022, and the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and related notes, all consolidated, for the year then ended.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the equity and financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, as well as its financial performance and cash flows, all consolidated, for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable in Spain.

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 consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of Investment Properties

The Group has real estate assets which are recognized mainly under the heading Investment properties, at an amount of EUR 12,231,952 thousand at 31 December 2022, using the fair value model in accordance with IAS 40 Investment properties, and represent 91% of total assets. Similarly, in 2022 the heading Variation in value of investment properties reflects a loss of EUR 147,493 thousand in respect mainly of these assets, having a significant impact on consolidated results for the year. Information on the assets included in this heading is disclosed in notes 4.4, 9 and 19.7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In order to obtain the fair value of these assets, the Group requests independent expert valuations. The fair value is determined according to the discounted cash flow method in accordance with standard market practice.

These valuations are based on significant judgements and estimates. We therefore focused on this area given the materiality of investment properties with respect to total assets and the effect of its valuation on the Group's results and the significant judgements and estimates assumed by management. Changes in such assumptions could lead to a significant variation in the fair value of those assets and their impact on the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated financial statement.

Key audit matters How our audit addressed the key audit matters

We obtained the valuations of all investment properties performed at year end by independent experts and assessed them in terms of the requirements of competence and independence and found no exceptions.

We checked that the 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, analyzing for a sample of those valuations the reasonableness of the variables used, such as the discount rate, rent and the rent increase considered, as well as other variables necessary to complete the valuations 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 through 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 4.4, 9 and 19.7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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 Group's investment properties.

Other information: Consolidated management report

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

Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the consolidated management report. Our responsibility regarding the consolidated 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 consolidated management report and the consolidated financial statements as a result of our knowledge of the Group 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 consolidated 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 consolidated management report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements

The Parent company's directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements , such that they fairly present the consolidated equity, financial position and financial performance of the Group, in accordance with IFRS-EU and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain, and for such internal control as the aforementioned directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Parent company's directors are responsible for assessing the Group'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 aforementioned directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Parent company's audit and control committee is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent company's directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent company's 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 Group'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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Parent company's audit and control committee 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 Parent company's audit and control committee 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 Parent company's audit and control committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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.

In this regard, the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration have been incorporated by reference in the consolidated management report.

Our responsibility is to examine the digital files prepared by the Parent company's directors, in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain. This legislation requires that we plan and execute our audit procedures in order to verify whether the content of the consolidated financial statements included in the aforementioned digital files completely agrees with that of the consolidated financial statements that we have audited, and whether the format and markup of these accounts and of the aforementioned files has been affected, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements established in the ESEF Regulation.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Colonial Group business activity

Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. (hereinafter "the Company") was formed as public limited company in Spain for an indefinite period on 8 November 1956. Its registered office is located at Paseo de la Castellana, 52 de Madrid (Spain).

On 29 June 2017, the Parent's General Shareholders' Meeting resolved to adopt the REIT tax system. On 30 June 2017, the Parent submitted a request to the tax authorities to be included in the REIT tax system, applicable as of 1 January 2017.

The Parent's purpose, as set out in its articles of association, 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 nonresident 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 Parent Company.

The Parent 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.

Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. and Subsidiaries ("the Group") carry out their activities in Spain (mainly in Barcelona and Madrid) and in France (Paris) through the Group of which it is the parent Société Foncière Lyonnaise, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as the "SFL subgroup" or "SFL" for the subsidiary) 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 Parent maintains the credit rating obtained from Standard & Poor's Rating Credit Market Services Europe Limited, "BBB+" at long term and "A-2" at short term, both with a stable outlook. In addition, the Parent obtained a "Baa2" credit rating with a positive outlook from Moody's. In 2022, the subsidiary SFL also maintained its credit rating of "BBB+" with a stable outlook, and the "A-2" short-term credit rating.

Given its business activity, the Group has no environmental expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies that might be significant with respect to its equity, financial position and 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.

2 Basis of presentation of the consolidated financial statements

2.1 Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (EU-IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union, taking into account all mandatory accounting policies and rules and measurement bases, the Spanish Code of Commerce, the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, the Spanish Securities Markets Law and other applicable company law, as well as regulations laid down by the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), to present a true and fair view of the Group's consolidated equity and financial position at 31 December 2022 and of the income from its operations, the changes in consolidated equity and the consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

The consolidated financial statements of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. and subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2022, were prepared from the accounting records kept by the Parent and by the other Group companies, and they were authorised for issue by the Parent's directors at the Board of Directors' meeting held on 27 February 2023.

However, since the accounting policies and measurement bases used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022 may differ from those used by certain Group companies, the required adjustments and reclassifications were made on consolidation to unify the policies and bases used and to make them compliant with EU-IFRS.

In order to present on a consistent basis the various items that make up the consolidated financial statements, the accounting principles and measurement bases used by the Parent were applied to all the companies included in the scope of consolidation.

The Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 were approved by the shareholders of the Parent at the General Meeting held on 21 June 2022.

2.2 Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with EU-IFRS, pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002. In Spain, the obligation to present consolidated financial statements under European IFRS is also regulated in final provision eleven of Law 62/2003, of 30 December, on tax, administrative and social measures.

The main accounting principles and measurement bases adopted by the Group are detailed in Note 4.

2.2.1 Standards and interpretations effective this year -

New accounting standards came into force in 2022 and were, accordingly, taken into account when preparing these consolidated financial statements. These new standards are as follows:

  • IAS 16 (Amendment) "Property, plant and equipment: amounts received before the foreseen use.
  • IAS 37 (Amendment) "Onerous Contracts: costs of fulfilling a contract".
  • IFRS 3 (Amendment), "References to the Conceptual Framework".

  • Annual improvements to IFRS. 2018-2020 cycle: The following amendments affect IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41:

  • o IFRS 1 "First-Time Adoption of IFRSs". IFRS 1 allows an exemption if a subsidiary adopts IFRSs at a date later than its parent. This amendment allows entities that have taken this exemption to also measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent's date of transition to IFRSs.
  • o IFRS 9 "Financial instruments". The amendment addresses which costs should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities. Costs or fees may be paid to third parties or to the lender. According to the amendment, costs or fees paid to third parties will not be included in the 10% test.
  • o IAS 41 "Agriculture".
  • o With reference to the IASB's enhancement of IFRS 16 "Leases", this has not been endorsed by the European Union, because only Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16 has been amended (to remove the illustration of lessor payments in relation to leasehold improvements, eliminating any possible confusion about the treatment of lease incentives). Illustrative examples accompany, but are not part of, IFRS.

These standards were taken into account with effect from 1 January 2022, and their impact on these consolidated financial statements was not material.

2.2.2 Standards and interpretations issued and not in force that can be adopted in advance-

At the date of authorisation for issue of these consolidated financial statements, the following standards, amendments or interpretations were published by the IASB and the IFRS Interpretations Committee, but have not yet come into force, although they can be adopted in advance:

  • IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts". The standard is applicable for the years commencing from 1 January 2023, enabling its early application if IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" is applied on the initial application date of IFRS 17 or before this date.
  • IFRS17 (Amendment) "Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 Comparative Information". This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
  • IAS 1 (Amendment) "Breakdown of accounting policies". The effective date of these amendments is 1 January 2023.
  • IAS 8 (Amendment) "Definition of accounting estimates". The effective date of these amendments is 1 January 2023.
  • IAS 12 (Amendment) 'Deferred tax relating to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction'. The amendment enters into force for years that begin from 1 January 2023, though its early application is permitted.

The Parent's directors have reviewed the potential impacts of the future application of these standards and consider that their entry into force will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

2.2.3 Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards which cannot be adopted in advance or which have not been adopted by the European Union –

At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the following standards, amendments and interpretations have been published by the IASB and the IFRS Interpretations Committee and are pending adoption by the European Union:

  • IFRS 10 (Amendment) and IAS 28 (Amendment) "Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture".
  • IFRS 16 (Amendment) 'Lease liability on a sale and leaseback'.
  • IAS 1 (Amendment) "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current". In July 2020, there was an amendment to change the entry date of the amendment to 1 January 2023. These amendments are pending approval by the European Union.
  • IAS 1 (Amendment) "Non-current liabilities with conditions ("covenants")".

The application of new standards, amendments and interpretations will be considered by the Group once they have been ratified and adopted, as the case may be, by the European Union.

The Parent's directors have reviewed the potential impacts of the future application of these standards and consider that their entry into force will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

2.3 Functional currency

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

2.4 Responsibility for the information provided and accounting estimates and judgements made

The information in these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Parent's directors. Management of the Parent has made estimates based on objective data in order to quantify certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments reported herein. The relevant estimates and criteria relate to:

  • The market value of properties for own use, investment properties and inventories (Notes 8, 9 and 11). The market value was obtained from the appraisals periodically made by independent experts. These appraisals were prepared at 31 December 2022 and 2021, applying the methods described in notes 4.3, 4.4 and 4.21.
  • Measurement of deferred tax liabilities recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position (Notes 4.14 and 18).
  • The classification and measurement of assets classified as held for sale (Notes 4.20 and 23).
  • Market value of derivative financial instruments (Notes 4.12, 4.22 and 15).

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best available information at the date of authorising these consolidated financial statements for issue, events that take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates (upwards or downwards). Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively and would be recognised in the consolidated income statement.

2.5 Basis of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared from the accounting records of Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A. and of the companies controlled thereby, whose financial statements were prepared by each Group company's management. The Parent is considered to have effective control in the circumstances outlined below.

The results of the subsidiaries acquired or sold during the year are included in consolidated income from the effective date of acquisition and are no longer included from the date of disposal, as appropriate.

All accounts receivable and payable and other transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated on consolidation.

Where necessary, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted to ensure uniformity with the accounting policies applied by the Parent. All subsidiaries have the same reporting date as the Parent, i.e., 31 December.

All Group companies were fully consolidated, as outlined below:

  • Subsidiaries are fully consolidated and are considered to be all entities in which the Group directly or indirectly controls the financial and operating policies such that power is exercised over the investee. This is generally accompanied by an ownership interest of more than half of an entity's voting rights. In addition, to evaluate whether the Group controls another entity, it considers the power over the investee; the exposure or rights to variable returns of the investment; and the ability to use this power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. When evaluating whether the Group exercises control over an entity, the existence and the effect of any potential voting rights, both those held by the Parent and by third parties, are taken into consideration, provided they are of a substantive nature.
  • Subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition cost is the fair value of the assets delivered, the equity instruments issued and the liabilities incurred or assumed at the acquisition date. Identifiable assets acquired and identifiable liabilities and contingencies incurred in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date, regardless of the effect of non-controlling interests. When the acquisition cost is higher than the fair value of the Group's interest in the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognised as goodwill. If the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated income statement (details of the companies consolidated at 31 December 2022 and 2021 are included in the Appendix).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include the tax effect, if any, of transferring the reserves of the consolidated companies to the Parent's equity, since it is considered that these reserves will be used to finance the operations of each company and any potential distributions will not represent a significant additional tax cost.

Non-controlling interests are stated at the proportion of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities recognised. Non-controlling interests in:

  • Investees' equity: recognised in equity under "Non-controlling interests" in the consolidated statement of financial position.
  • Profit or loss for the year: recognised under "Net profit attributable to non-controlling interests" in the consolidated income statement.

2.6 Changes in the scope of consolidation

The following changes occurred in the scope of consolidation in 2022:

  • On 25 April 2022, SFL acquired all the shares of SCI Pasteur 123, owner of the property 91 Boulevard Pasteur of almost 40,000 square metres, located in the centre of Paris (15th arrondissement) for 485,145 thousand euros (Note 9).
  • On 3 June 2022, the Parent acquired 50% of the share capital of the subsidiary Wittywood, S.L. amounting to 5,000 thousand euros, to hold 100% of the share capital of that subsidiary (Note 13.6).

The following changes occurred in the scope of consolidation in 2021:

  • On 24 February 2021, the Parent acquired 3.19% of the share capital of the subsidiary Utopicus Innovación Cultural, S.L. amounting to 100 thousand euros, to hold 100% of the share capital of that subsidiary (Note 13.6).
  • On 4 August 2021, the subsidiary SFL repurchased 7.86% of SFL's own shares from Predica, which were immediately redeemed, and carried out a share swap consisting of the acquisition from Predica of its noncontrolling interests in the subsidiaries SCI Washington (34%) and SAS Parholding (50%) in exchange for non-controlling interests in SCI Paul Cézanne (49%), SCI 103 Grenelle (49%), SAS Cloud (49%) and SAS 92 Champs-Elysées (49%) (Note 13.6).
  • On 5 August 2021, a capital increase was registered in the commercial register of the Parent Company through the issue of 22,494,701 new shares with a par value of 2.50 euros per share, plus a share premium, amounting to a total of 201,553 thousand euros according to the share price. The capital increase was fully subscribed by Predica, through the non-monetary contribution of 2,328,644 shares in the subsidiary SFL. The exchange ratio of Predica's contribution was set at 9.66 Colonial shares (Note 13.6).
  • On 6 September 2021, a takeover bid for all the shares of SFL held by shareholders other than Colonial and Predica was registered in the commercial register of the Parent Company for mixed consideration in cash and shares. The exchange equation of the bid was set at 46.66 euros and five shares of Colonial, with a par value of 2.50 euros each, for each SFL share. On 20 July 2021, the French financial markets authority approved the bid. On 28 June 2021, the general shareholders's meeting approved the corresponding resolution to increase capital. On 30 August 2021, the French financial markets authority announced the result of the bid, which reached 4.2% of the shares targeted. As such, the Parent Company acquired 1,801,231 shares of the subsidiary SFL, by issuing 9,006,155 new shares of the Parent Company for a par value of 2.50 euros, plus a share premium, for a total amount of 81,461 thousand euros, according to the share price, and cash payments amounting to 84,045 thousand euros (Note 13.6).

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the subsidiaries Colonial Tramit, S.L.U., Inmocol One, S.A.U., Inmocol Two, S.L.U., Inmocol Three, S.L.U., SAS SB2, SAS SB3 and SCI SB3 are dormant.

2.7 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.

2.8 Aggregation of items

Certain items in the consolidated statement of financial position, the income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows are grouped together to make them easier to understand; however, whenever the amounts involved are material, the information is broken down in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

2.9 Correction of errors

No significant errors have been found in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that would require a restatement of the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements for 2021.

2.10 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 Group's business and performance, as well as the main accounting impacts on the consolidated accounts.

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

The property sector accounts for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions in Spain and France. For this reason, the Group 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 consolidated annual accounts 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 Group'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 consolidated annual financial statements

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

  • Risks associated with financial instruments (IFRS 7): On 17 February 2022, the Parent announced that the bondholders' meetings have approved the conversion of all of the Group's outstanding bonds into green bonds, representing 81.8% of the total gross debt as at 31 December 2022. At the closing date of these consolidated financial statements, the Group has 3.5% of its financial liabilities indexed to ESG indicators (1.5% at 31 December 2021), the interest rates of which may vary depending on the evolution of these indicators. There was no effect on the Group's financing during 2022.
  • Fees and taxes related to environmental regulation (IAS37): the investments made by the Group have enabled it to be in line with the regulations in force regarding climate change. As a result, the Group has not received any sanctions for non-compliance with these regulations. The Group 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 noncompliance with current environmental regulations.

  • The depreciation of assets (IAS36) or the re-estimation of the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets (IAS16): the Group's assets are mainly recorded at fair value and therefore the Group's financial statements do not include any significant impact arising from these standards.

3 Distribution of Parent's profit

The distribution of profit from 2022 proposed by the Board of Directors of the Parent and that will be submitted for approval at the General Annual Meeting is as follows:

Thousands of
euros
Profit for the year of the Parent 116,332
To legal reserve
To dividends
11,633
104,699
Total distributed 116,332

The Board of Directors of the Parent may propose an additional distribution by way of refund of share premium.

Likewise, the proposal to apply the 2021 profit approved by the shareholders' meeting of the Parent Company held on 21 June 2022 was approved without any changes and consisted of its full transfer to the profit/(loss) of previous years.

In the past five years, the Parent has distributed the following dividends:

Thousands of euros 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
Amounts distributed 77,619 101,567 101,551 111,087 127,536

4 Accounting policies

The main accounting principles used to prepare the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with EU-IFRS and the interpretations in force when these consolidated financial statements were prepared, are as follows:

4.1 Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.

The cost of the business combination is allocated at the acquisition date by recognising, at fair value, all assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity that meet the criteria for recognition established in IFRS 3. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the acquiree's allocated assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recognised as goodwill, which, accordingly, represents advance payments made by the Colonial Group for future economic benefits generated by the assets of the acquiree that are not individually and separately identifiable and recognisable.

The negative difference, if any, between the cost of the business combination and the allocation to assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity is recognised as a gain or loss in the year in which it arises.

If a business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at fair value at the acquisition date and recognises any resulting gain or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or under other consolidated comprehensive income, where appropriate.

4.2 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.

4.3 Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings intended for own use as well as other property, plant and equipment are recognised at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Historical cost includes the acquisition price at the date of recognition of the asset and expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of those assets. Any potential impairment losses on properties are recorded in accordance with the same measurement assumptions as those described in Note 4.4.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset only when they can be measured reliably and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with them will flow to the Group. The remaining costs of day-to-day servicing of assets are charged to the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

Group companies depreciate their property, plant and equipment for own use and other property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method, distributing the cost of the assets over the years of estimated useful life and provided that the residual value does not change or changes insignificantly. The remaining costs of day-to-day servicing of assets are charged to the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

The breakdown of the useful life of property for own use located in Spain and France is as follows:

Years of estimated useful life
Spain France
Property for own use:
Buildings 50 50
Facilities 10 to 15 10 to 15
Other property, plant and equipment 4 to 10 5 to 50

Gains or losses arising on the sale (Note 19.5) or derecognition of an asset (Note 19.6) under this heading are determined as the difference between the selling price and its carrying amount and are recognised in the consolidated income statement.

4.4 Investment property

"Investment property" in the consolidated statement of financial position reflects the values of the land, buildings, considered in whole or in part or both and other constructions held to earn rents or for capital appreciation upon disposals due to future increases in their respective market prices.

The acquisition of an asset or group of assets through a partnership that does not represent a business combination as defined in IFRS 3 - Business Combinations shall be recognised in the statement of financial position as investment property.

In accordance with the option provided by IAS 40 - Investment Property, the Group chooses to present the investment property is presented at fair value at the end of the reporting period and is not depreciated.

Profit or loss arising from changes in the fair value of investment property is included in the profit of the period in which it occurs and recognised under "Changes in value of investment property" in the consolidated income statement (Note 19.7).

Gains or losses resulting from the derecognition or disposal of an investment property are determined as the difference between the net proceeds from the transaction and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the consolidated income statement for the period in which the derecognition occurs (Note 19.5).

When the Group recognises as an increase in fair value of an investment property the cost of an asset that replaces another already included in such amount, the Group reduces the value of the property by the fair value of the asset replaced, recognising the impact under "Gains/(losses) on changes in value of assets due to impairment" in the consolidated income statement (Note 19.6). When the fair value of the replaced asset cannot be identified, it is recorded by increasing the fair value of the property, and subsequently revalued periodically by reference to independent external valuations 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).

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.

Investment property whose disposal is highly probable is reclassified as "Assets classified as held for sale" and measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.

In accordance with IAS 40, the Group determines the fair value of investment property every half year, i.e. at 30 June and 31 December of each period. Fair value is determined by taking as reference values the valuations performed by independent third-party experts (level 3 fair value hierarchy) at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, CB Richard Ellis Valuation and Cushman & Wakefield for 2022 in both Spain and France and for 2021, Jones Lang LaSalle and CB Richard Ellis Valuation in Spain and CB Richard Ellis Valuation and Cushman & Wakefield in France, so that, at the end of each period, the fair value reflects the market conditions of the investment property elements 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 Group.

The Discounted Cash Flow (hereinafter, "DCF") method was primarily used to determine the market value of the Group'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 market conditions forecast at the end of each cash flow period, but also to the rental conditions that 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 in determining fair value, are not considered to be key, and therefore no quantitative information is included, nor are they sensitised, since any possible reasonable variations would not entail a significant change in the fair values of the assets.

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 detail of the yields considered, and other assumptions used in determining future cash flows in 2022 and 2021, are set out in the tables below:

In addition, 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.

Sensitivity analysis of the hypotheses

A change of one-quarter of one point in yields has the following impact on the valuations used by the Group at 31 December 2022 and 2021, to determine the value of its property assets (Property, plant and equipment -own use, Investment property, inventories and assets classified as held for sale):

Thousands of euros
Sensitivity of valuations to a change of one

A reconciliation between the valuations used by the Group and the carrying amounts of the headings of the statement of financial position where the valued assets are recognised, is as follows:

Unrealised gains on assets recognised in Inventory 14,372 11,801
Measurement 13,005,183 12,436,041

The income earned in 2022 and 2021 from the rental of investment property in the property segment (traditional business) amounted to 307,998 thousand euros (Note 19.1), respectively, and are recognised under "Revenue" in the consolidated income statement.

The bulk of repair and maintenance expenses incurred by the Group in connection with the operation of its investment properties is passed on to the respective tenants (Note 4.18).

Direct operating expenses associated with investment properties which generated rental income in 2022 and 2021, included under "Operating profit" in the consolidated income statement amounted to 100,742 thousand euros and 82,189 thousand euros, respectively, prior to deducting the costs passed on to the lessees. Expenses incurred in connection with investment properties that did not generate rental income were not material.

4.5 Impairment of property, plant and equipment

At each reporting date, the Group 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 Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

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 (cashgenerating unit) in prior years.

4.6 Financial assets and liabilities

4.6.1 Financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following valuation categories:

  • those that are subsequently measured at fair value (either through profit or loss or other comprehensive income); and

  • assets measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are recorded in the income statement or in other comprehensive income. For investments in equity instruments not held for trading, this depends on whether the Group made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to account for the investment in equity at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when it changes its business model to manage those assets.

Recognition and derecognition

Conventional purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the date on which the Group undertakes to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Measurement

On initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset that is not at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. The transaction costs of financial assets recognised at fair value through profit and loss are recognised as an expense in the income statement.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are only the payment of principal and interest.

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and on the characteristics of the asset's cash flows. There are three measurement categories in which the Group classifies its debt instruments:

  • Amortised cost: Assets held for the collection of contractual cash flows when those cash flows represent only principal and interest payments are measured at amortised cost. Interest income on these financial assets is included in interest income in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising when they are derecognised is recognised directly in profit and loss. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated income statement.
  • Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets held for the collection of contractual cash flows and for the sale of financial assets, when the cash flows from the assets represent only principal and interest payments, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in the carrying amount are taken to other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest income and exchange gains or losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and recognised in financial expenses. Interest income on these financial assets is included in interest income in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Exchange gains and losses are presented in finance costs and the impairment expense is presented as a separate line item in the consolidated income statement.
  • Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for measurement at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. A profit or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently recognised at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the consolidated income statement within finance costs in the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. When Group management has chosen to present gains and losses in the fair value of investments in equity in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of gains and losses in the fair value to income following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group's right to receive the payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in finance costs in the consolidated income statement when applicable. Impairment losses (and reversals of impairment losses) on investments in equity measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not presented separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment

The Group evaluates on a prospective basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets at amortised cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. The method applied for impairment depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, given the composition of the Group's portfolio, which is made up of companies of acknowledged prestige and proven financial solvency, the low history of losses from debtor balances over the last 10 years, including the years of financial crisis, the Group has considered that the expected impairment of these financial assets is immaterial (Note 12).

4.6.2 Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are accounts payable by the Group that have arisen from the purchase of goods and services in the course of the Company's business and those which, not arising from trading activities, cannot be considered to be derivative financial instruments.

Classification

The Group classifies its financial liabilities in the following valuation categories:

  • Financial liabilities at amortised cost: accounts payable are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs. These liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost.
  • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: these are liabilities that are acquired for the purpose of selling them in the short term. These financial liabilities are initially and subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement for the year.

Recognition and derecognition

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when the obligations giving rise to them cease to exist.

The Group classifies as short-term trade payables the retentions made to regular suppliers in construction projects, which are normally due within 12 months from the completion of the projects, as they are considered to be liabilities that are incurred in the normal operating cycle of the Group's business.

4.7 Receivables

Trade receivables are carried at recoverable value, i.e., net, where applicable, of the allowances recognised to cover balances of a certain age (Note 4.6.6), whose circumstances reasonably warrant their consideration as doubtful receivables.

4.8 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.

4.9 Own equity instruments

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

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

Any treasury shares of the Parent acquired during the year are recognised directly 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 the consolidated income statement.

4.10 Provisions and contingent liabilities

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

  • Provisions: creditor balances covering obligations arising as a consequence of past events which could give rise to liabilities at the Group companies, the nature of which is certain but the amount and timing of which cannot be determined, and
  • 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 consolidated companies.

The consolidated 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, but are disclosed in Note 17.

Provisions, which are quantified taking into consideration the best information available concerning the consequences of the events on which they are based, and which are revised at each reporting close, are recognised in order to cover the specific and likely risks for which they were originally recognised, and are fully or partially reversed if and when said risks cease to exist or are reduced.

4.11 Employee benefits

4.11.1 Termination benefits -

Under current Spanish legislation, the Group 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 Group did not record any provisions in this connection.

4.11.2 Pension obligations -

The Parent 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.

SFL maintains several defined benefit pension plans. Defined benefit obligations are calculated on a regular basis by independent actuarial experts. The actuarial assumptions used to calculate these liabilities are adapted to the situation and to applicable French legislation, in accordance with IAS 19. The actuarial cost recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in relation to these plans is the sum of the service costs for the period, the interest expense and actuarial gains and losses.

4.11.3 Share-based payments -

The Group 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 services received, unless that of the equity instruments transferred is more reliable,

by reference to the grant agreement 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. In the case of the plans described in Note 20, it has been decided to measure them at the amount of the equity instruments transferred.

4.12 Derivative financial instruments

The Group 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 fair value of the derivative financial instruments is determined based on the valuations made by independent experts (Solventis A.V., S.A. in 2022 and 2021).

In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group estimated its own credit risk and that of the counterparty in the measurement of its derivative portfolio.

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

The following measurement base was used to recognise each of the following:

  • Cash flow hedges: fair value gains or losses arising on transactions which classify for hedge accounting are recognised, net of taxes, directly in consolidated comprehensive income, under "Gains/(losses) on hedging instruments", until the underlying or expected transaction occurs, at which point they are reclassified, where appropriate, to "Finance costs" or "Finance income" in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Any valuation gains and losses on the ineffective portion of the hedge are recognised directly as financial profit or loss in the consolidated income statement.
  • 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 as financial profit or loss in the consolidated income statement.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when a hedging instrument expires or is sold or exercised, or when the hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Gains or losses on hedging instruments recognised in consolidated comprehensive income remain under this heading until the related transaction is performed. Once the related cash flow occurs, any cumulative gain or loss recognised in consolidated comprehensive income is transferred to consolidated net profit or loss for the year. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in other consolidated comprehensive income is transferred to consolidated comprehensive net profit or 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.

4.13 Current/non-current

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

The Group's main business is its rentals business, for which it is considered that the normal cycle of its operations corresponds to the calendar year; hence, assets and liabilities maturing at less than one year are classified as current and those maturing at over one year are classified as non-current.

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

4.14 Income tax expense

The expense for Spanish corporate income tax and similar taxes applicable to consolidated foreign operations is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except when the tax expense is generated by a transaction whose gains or losses are taken directly to equity, in which case the corresponding tax is also recognised in equity.

Income tax expense is the sum of the tax payable on profit for the year and the variation in recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Corporate income tax expense for the year is calculated based on taxable profit for the year, which differs from the net profit or loss presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because it excludes certain taxable profit and deductible expenses from prior years, as well as other exempt items. The Group's current tax liabilities are calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

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 in the consolidated statement of financial position to the extent that it has become probable that they will be recovered through future taxable profits. In accordance with IAS 12, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities caused by changes in tax rates or tax laws are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year in which these changes are approved.

In accordance with IAS 12, when measuring deferred tax liabilities the Group 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 that are measured using the IAS 40 fair value model, there is a rebuttable presumption that their carrying amount will be recovered through their sale. Consequently, the deferred tax liabilities arising from the Group's investment properties located in Spain were calculated by applying a tax rate of 25%, less any existing tax credits not recognised at 31 December 2022 for non-SOCIMI assets, as well as for capital gains on SOCIMI assets existing at the time of adoption of the SOCIMI regime. The effective tax calculation rate was therefore 18.75%.

Until 31 December 2016, the Parent was the head of a group of companies filing consolidated tax returns under tax group no. 6/08.

4.14.1 REIT regime

Effective as of 1 January 2017, the tax system of the Parent 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 trusts (REITs). Article 3 establishes the investment requirements of this type of company, namely:

  1. 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 their 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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:

a) 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. Otherwise the following shall apply.

b) 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.

c) In the case of shares or ownership interests in the companies 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, as appropriate, 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 latepayment 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).

4.14.2 SIIC regime – SFL subgroup

Since 1 January 2003, the SFL subgroup companies have filed tax returns under the French tax regime applicable to listed real estate investment companies ("the SIIC regime"). This regime enabled the assets allocated to the rental business to be recognised at market value at the date on which it availed itself of this tax regime, currently subject to a tax rate of 19% ("exit tax"), payable within a period of four years, on the capital gains recognised.

This regime affects only real estate activities, and is not applicable to companies engaged in sales and services, such as Segpim, S.A. and Locaparis SAS in the SFL subgroup, to properties under finance leases (unless the lease is cancelled early) or to the subgroups and investees in conjunction with third parties.

This regime affords the SFL subgroup an exemption from taxes on earnings generated from its rental business and on capital gains obtained from the sale of properties, provided that 95% of profit from that activity, 70% of the capital gains obtained from property sales of companies under this regime are distributed each year in the form of dividends and 100% of dividends.

4.15 Income and expense

Revenue and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises.

However, in accordance with the accounting principles established in the EU-IFRS conceptual framework, the Group recognises revenue when it is earned together with all the necessary associated expenses. The sale of goods is recognised when the goods have been delivered and ownership transferred.

Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, according to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the future cash receipts estimated over the expected life of the financial asset from the asset's carrying amount.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder's rights to receive payment have been established, i.e. when shareholders at the Annual General Meetings of the subsidiaries approve the distribution of the corresponding dividend.

4.15.1 Property leases

In accordance with IFRS 16, 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. In this regard, at 31 December 2022 and 2021, all the Group's leases qualified as operating leases.

4.15.2 Property leases-Lessor

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 income statement 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.

In relation to the amendment to IFRS 16 arising from the situation generated by the pandemic, the Group has considered the aid granted to lessees as amendments to the initial contract, recording them as a rent incentive, except for minor cases, in which they have been recorded directly against the consolidated income statement, reducing the net amount of the turnover.

4.15.3 Specific lease terms and conditions: lease incentives

Lease agreements include certain specific conditions linked to incentives or rent-free periods offered by the Group to its clients. The Group recognises the aggregate cost of incentives granted as a reduction in rental income of the lease. The effects of the rent-free periods are recognised during the minimum term of the lease on a straight-line basis.

Indemnity payments made by lessees to cancel their leases prior to their minimum termination date are also recognised as income in the consolidated income statement on the date on which they become due and payable to the Group.

4.15.4 Property leases-Lessee

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and the corresponding liability is posted on the date on which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between liabilities and interest expense. The financial expense is charged to profit or loss over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each year. The right-of-use asset is amortised over the shorter of the asset's useful life or the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including fixed payments in substance), less any incentive for lease receivables,
  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate,
  • amounts the lessee is expected to pay as residual value guarantees,
  • the exercise price of a call option if the lessee is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option, and
  • penalty payments on termination of the lease, if the term of the lease reflects the exercise by the lessee of that option.

Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implied in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the incremental rate of borrowing is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary funds to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which includes the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
  • any lease payments made on or before the start date less any lease incentives received,
  • any initial direct costs, and
  • restoration costs.

Payments under short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a term of 12 months or less.

In relation to the amendment to IFRS 16 as a result of the situation generated by the pandemic, the Parent has considered the aid received from the lessors of spaces leased by its subsidiary Utopicus as if it were a variable lease payment, recognising its impact directly against the consolidated income statement.

4.16 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of property developments or inventory (Notes 9, 11 y 19.8.1), which require preparation during a significant period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

4.17 Consolidated statement of cash flows (indirect method)

The following terms are used in the consolidated 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 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.

4.18 Costs passed on to lessees

In accordance with EU-IFRS, the Group does not consider the costs incurred by lessees from its investment properties as revenue and they are recognised, less the corresponding costs, in the consolidated income statement. The amounts passed on for these items in 2022 and 2021 amounted to 67,726 thousand euros and 58,129 thousand euros, respectively.

4.19 Transactions with related parties

All the Group'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.

4.20 Assets classified as held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, the assets are available for immediate sale and the sale is highly probable and will occur no more than twelve months after classification of the asset as held for sale. The Group classifies assets classified as held for sale when there is a formal decision by the board of directors or the executive committee and the sale is expected to be completed within 12 months.

They are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets, investment property carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempted from this requirement.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated while they are classified as held for sale, but interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group that is classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are presented separately from other assets in the consolidated statement of financial position, both assets classified as held for sale and assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale under "Assets classified as held for sale". Liabilities that form part of a disposal group classified as held for sale are also presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position under "Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale". These assets and liabilities shall not be offset or presented as a single amount.

4.21 Inventory

Inventories, consisting of land, developments in progress and completed developments, are stated at cost, with appropriate impairment losses recognised when the net realisable value is lower than cost.

The cost includes the acquisition costs and the direct and indirect costs necessary for their construction, as well as the financial expenses incurred in the financing of the works while they are under construction, provided that this process lasts more than one year.

Prepayments made in connection with call options on properties are recognised as inventory prepayments and it is assumed that expectations regarding the conditions enabling their exercise will be met.

The market value is determined periodically through independent expert valuations. Possible valuation results are recorded according to the same valuation assumptions as described in Note 4.4.

4.22 Fair value hierarchy

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified according to the following hierarchy established in IFRS 7 and IFRS 13:

  • Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: Inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (not included in level 1), prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, techniques based on valuation models for which all relevant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data.

  • Level 3: In general, inputs are unobservable and reflect estimates based on market assumptions to determine the price of the asset or liability. Unobservable data used in the valuation models are significant in the fair values of the assets and liabilities.

In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group estimated the bilateral credit risk in order to reflect both its own risk and the counterparty risk on the fair value of its derivatives (Note 4.12). Credit risk at 31 December 2022 and 2021 was not considered to be material.

The detail of the Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value according to the aforementioned levels is as follows:

5 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent (after tax and non-controlling interests) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent (after tax and non-controlling interests) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus all dilutive effects inherent in potential ordinary shares.

Both at 31 December 2022 and 2021, there were no instruments that may have had a significant diluting effect on the Parent's average number of ordinary shares.

The long-term remuneration plans of the Parent Company are settled with shares that the Parent Company holds as treasury shares in advance. Such deliveries of shares have no relevant or material effect on diluted earnings per share (Note 20).

Details of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Thousands
2022 2021
Net consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of the parent (thousands of euros) 7,979 473,842
Average number of ordinary shares outstanding excluding treasury shares (thousands) 531,429 515,705

Average number of potential common shares outstanding (thousands) 531,429 515,705
Diluted earnings per share (in euros) 0.02 0.92

The calculation of the average number of ordinary shares outstanding or potential shares outstanding is as follows:

There have been no transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares other than those recorded between the closing date at 31 December 2022 and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that would significantly change the number of ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the period.

6 Segment reporting

6.1 Segmentation criteria

Segment reporting is organised, first, on the basis of the Group's business segments, and, secondly, by geographical segment.

The business lines described below have been defined in line with the Group's organisational structure at 31 December 2022 and 2021, which has been used by the Group's management to analyse the financial performance of the various operating segments.

The rentals segment (or traditional business) includes activities associated with office rentals, while the flexible business segment includes the activities associated with coworking or flexible office spaces.

6.2 Basis and methodology for business segment reporting

The segment information below is based on monthly reports prepared by Group management, generated using the same computer application that prepares all of the Group's accounting data.

Segment revenue comprises revenue directly attributable to each segment, as well as gains from the sale of investment properties. Segment revenue excludes both interest and dividend income.

Segment expenses comprise operating expenses directly attributable to each segment and losses on the sale of investment properties. Allocated expenses do not include interest, the income tax expense or general administrative expenses incurred in the provision of general services that are not directly allocated to any business segment.

Segment assets and liabilities are those directly related to the segment's operating activities. The Group has no set criteria for allocating borrowings or equity by business segment. Borrowings are attributed in full to the "Corporate Unit".

Segment information for these businesses is as follows:

  • As a result of the transactions carried out by the Group in 2021 described in Note 2.6, SFL acquired the noncontrolling interests in these companies, thereby terminating the previous agreements, in exchange for 49% of the companies SCI Paul Cézanne, SCI 103 Grenelle, SAS Cloud and SAS Champs-Elysées, for which SFL and Prédica signed a new shareholders' agreement.

  • SFL retains the former subsidiaries in which it holds a 51% interest.

14.13 Capital management and risk management policy

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.

14.14 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 percentage of the Group's total debt was 96% (as at 31 December 2021 was 95%).

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 highly-liquid 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 Group analyses the exposure implied by at-risk accounts receivable on an ongoing basis, monitoring their settlements and recognising charges whenever its receivables are deemed impaired.

During the first half of 2022, SFL cancelled the two derivative instruments it had contracted for a nominal amount of 200,000 thousand euros. The amount recorded directly in equity associated with these instruments, which amounted to 15,295 thousand euros, will be recognised in the consolidated income statement over the life of the new bonds issued (TAP) by SFL (Note 14.2).

During the second half of 2022, the Parent 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 Parent 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 Parent 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).

In addition, SFL has contracted five cash flow hedges for a total of 600,000 thousand euros with CIC, Societe Generale and CADIF, maturing in 2023, 2027 and 2029. These hedges have an average rate of 2.42%.

The impact on the consolidated income statement of the recognition of derivative financial instruments for 2022 and 2021 is shown in the following table:

Thousands of euros

15.1 Hedge accounting

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Parent and SFL applied hedge accounting to different derivative financial instruments.

At 31 December 2022, the cumulative impact recognised directly in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position due to hedge accounting amounted to a credit balance of 293,115 thousand euros, after recognition of the tax impact and consolidation adjustments. At 31 December 2021, the impact recorded amounted to a credit balance of 17,122 thousand euros (Note 13.4).

15.2 Fair value of derivative financial instruments

The fair value of derivative financial instruments has been calculated from an update of estimated future cash flows based on an interest rate curve and volatility assigned at 31 December 2022, using the appropriate discount rates established by an independent third-party expert.

Variations of +/- 25 basis points in the interest rate curve have an effect on the fair value of derivative financial instruments of 32,814 and -27,361 thousand euros, respectively.

18.5.1 Prior years' tax losses pending offset –

The Corporate Income Tax in force in Spain as of 1 January 2016 stipulates that previous years' tax loss carryforwards may be offset in future years without any time limit, although it generally establishes an offset limit of 70% of taxable income, with a minimum of 1 million. In the event that the revenues recognised by the Company or the tax group fall between 20 million euros and 60 million euros, the offset is limited to 50% of taxable income, while if revenues are equal to or exceed 60 million euros the offset limit is reduced to 25% of taxable income.

The tax loss carryforwards of Spanish companies accumulated at 31 December 2022 amount to 5,384,125 thousand euros.

18.5.2 Deferred assets for tax credits through deductions -

The Group has various deductions pending application at 31 December 2022 due to insufficient tax liability amounting to a total of 8,085 thousand euros not activated.

18.6 Deferred tax liabilities

The details of deferred tax liabilities along with their movements are detailed in the following tables:

Other 476 -- -- 476
Total 360,109 (11,792) (161) 348,156

18.6.1 Deferred liability for asset revaluation -

This corresponds, essentially, to the difference between the accounting cost of market-valued real estate investments (IFRS base) and their tax cost (valued at acquisition cost, net of amortisation and impairment of the value that would have been deductible).

Asset revaluation - Spain -

This includes the amount of deferred taxes associated with the Group's real estate investments located in Spain, which would be accrued if said assets are transmitted at the fair value to which they are registered, using the effective rate that would apply to each of companies taking into account the applicable regulations and the existence of unregistered tax credits.

Following the adoption of the REIT tax regime in 2017, the movements in deferred taxes recognised, which mainly relate to the properties owned by the companies that have not opted for this regime, Inmocol Torre Europa, S.A for 2022 (Wittywood, S.L. and Inmocol Torre Europa, S.A. for 2021), which are wholly owned by the Parent, were recognised at an effective rate of 18.75% (tax rate of 25% with a limit on the offset of tax loss carryforwards of 25%). Consequently, in calculating deferred tax liabilities, the Group considers the application of 46,403 thousand euros of deferred tax assets derived from negative tax bases (difference between the 25% tax rate and the effective settlement rate applied to 18.75%).

Asset revaluation - France -

Includes the amount of the deferred taxes associated with the Group's investment property located in France, which would accrue if those assets are sold. It should be recalled that almost all assets in France are subject to the SIIC regime (Note 4.14-m), so they will not generate additional tax at the time of transmission. At 31 December 2022 and 2021 , only the assets of the member companies of the Parholding Subgroup were left out of said tax regime.

18.7 Tax years pending verification and inspection actions

The Group has the last four tax years open for inspection for all taxes applicable to it in Spain and France, except for corporate income tax of Spanish companies with negative tax bases to be offset or deductions pending application, in which case the verification period extends to 10 tax years.

On 2 November 2022, the Parent was notified of the commencement of general verification and investigation audits for corporate income tax for 2018 to 2021, and for value-added tax, withholdings on account of non-residents and withholdings and payments on account of income from employment, professional activities and economic activities for the period October 2018-December 2021.

It is not expected that additional liabilities will be accrued for the Group as a result of a possible inspection.

18.8 Disclosure requirements relating to REIT status, Law 11/2009, as amended by Law 16/2012

The information requirements relating to the REIT status of the Parent and its subsidiaries are included in the corresponding notes to the individual financial statements.

18.9 Compliance with the code of good tax practices –

On 10 December 2015, the Board of Directors of the Parent agreed to adhere to the Code of Best Tax Practices ("CBPT" hereinafter). This agreement was communicated to management on 8 January 2016. During 2022, the Parent presented the Annual Tax Transparency Report for companies adhering to the CBPT for 2021, following the proposal for the reinforcement of good corporate tax transparency practices for companies adhering to the Code of Good Tax Practices, approved at the plenary session of 20 December 2016.

20 Stock option plans

20.1 Long-term remuneration plan of the Parent

20.1.1 Former long-term remuneration plan of the Parent

On 21 January 2014, the Annual General Meeting of the parent company established, for the Chairman and CEO of the parent company, as well as for the members of the Group's steering committee, a long-term compensation plan to be applicable from 2014 to 2018.

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

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

On 24 April 2021, the Parent 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 (Note 13.3.1). On that date, the shares were delivered to their beneficiaries. Of these, 131,861 shares were delivered to the members of the Board of Directors and 164,476 to members of senior management, at a market value at the time of delivery of 1,364 and 1,702 thousand euros, respectively.

20.1.2 New long-term remuneration plan of the Parent

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

The new plan has a duration of five years and is divided into three overlapping annual cycles of three years each, independent of each other. The first cycle of the New Plan corresponds to the three-year 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 Parent'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 Parent (Note 22.1), 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 Parent, 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, an expense of 983 thousand euros (an expense of 670 thousand euros in 2021) has been recorded under the heading "Personnel expenses" in the consolidated income statement (Note 19.3), to cover the incentive plan approved on 30 June 2021.

20.2 SFL stock option plans

The subsidiary SFL maintains a free share allocation plan at 31 December 2022, whose details are as follows:

Plan 5 Plan 5 Plan 5
Meeting date 20.04.2018 20.04.2018 19.11.2021
Board of Directors Date 06.02.2020 11.02.2021 18.02.2022
Initial target number 34,476 33,460 30,624
% initially expected 100% 100% 100%
Number initially expected 34,476 33,460 30,624
Value per share (euros) 65.38 54.59 73.37

% expected at closing 200% 100% 100%
Estimated number at closing 67,760 32,992 30,496

Each share allocation plan has been calculated based on the expected number of shares multiplied by the unit fair value of those shares. This expected number of shares corresponds to the total number of shares multiplied by the expected purchase attribution percentage. The resulting amount is allocated linearly during the allocation period.

The fair value of the attributed shares is determined by the price at the date of attribution, corrected by the updated value of future dividends paid during the acquisition period, applying the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) method.

At 31 December 2022, the expected percentage at year-end for the 2020 plan was 200%, while for the 2021 and 2022 plan it was 100%.

During the first half of 2022, 64,992 free shares from Plan 5 from 2018 were delivered.

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, a total of 4,301 thousand euros and 3,870 thousand euros were recognised in the consolidated statement of income relating to these bonus share plans (Note 19.3).

21 Balances with related parties and associated companies

At 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Group did not have any balances outstanding with related parties and associates, with the exception of those detailed below.

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

22.1 Composition of the Parent's Board of Directors

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

At 31 December 2022, the composition of the Parent's Board of Directors is as follows:

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

Pursuant to Article 229 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, at the close of 2022, the directors of the Parent reported that neither they nor any parties related thereto have any direct or indirect conflict with the interests of the Parent.

On 22 February 2022, the Parent 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 Parent, 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 Parent 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 Parent, 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 proprietary director in place of Javier López Casado.

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Parent had taken out a civil liability insurance policy that covers all the directors, members of senior management and employees of the Parent, with a premium amounting to 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.

2. Business performance and results

Introduction

At 31 December 2022, the Group's turnover was 362 million euros, of which 354 million euros correspond to Analytical Rental Income (APM).

The revaluation in investment property and assets classified as held for sale, in accordance with the independent valuation carried out by CB Richard Ellis and Cushman & Wakefield in Spain and France at year-end, as well as on the basis of additional information available at year-end, was (147) million euros. The change in value, which occurred in both France and Spain, does not represent a cash outflow.

Net financial profit was (86) million euros.

Profit/(loss) before tax and non-controlling interests at the end of 2022 amounted to 42 million euros.

Lastly, after subtracting profit attributable to non-controlling interests (42) million euros, and income tax of 8 million euros, the profit after tax attributable to the Parent amounted to 8 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 like-for-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 yearon-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 like-for-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.

3. Liquidity and capital resources

See "Capital management and risk management policy" section of Note 14.14 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The Average Payment Period (APP) of the Group's Spanish companies to their suppliers for 2022FY1 was 41 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 Group has set two payment days per month to comply with the requirements established under 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.

4. 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 non-financial) 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 nonstrategic 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-tovalue 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 non-financial 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.

5. 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 Parent signed a contract for the sale of three properties located in Madrid for a total sale price of 315 million euros.
  • In January 2023, the Group repaid two loans drawn down for 100 million euros and 76 million euros respectively, reducing the financial liabilities indexed to ESG indicators to 0.4%.
  • On 31 January 2023, SFL signed a promise of sale agreement for the Hanovre property.

6. 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.

7. Research and development activities

As a result of the Group's own characteristics, its activities and its structure, research and development activities are not usually carried out at Inmobiliaria Colonial, SOCIMI, S.A.

8. Treasury Shares

At 31 December 2022, the Parent had 8,218,370 treasury shares with a nominal value of 20,546 thousand euros, which represents 1.52% of the Parent's share capital.

9. Other significant information

On 10 December 2015, the Board of Directors of the Parent agreed to adhere to the Code of Best Tax Practices ("CBPT" hereinafter). This agreement was communicated to management on 8 January 2016. During 2022, the Parent presented the Annual Tax Transparency Report for companies adhering to the CBPT for 2021, following the proposal for the reinforcement of good corporate tax transparency practices for companies adhering to the Code of Good Tax Practices, approved at the plenary session of 20 December 2016.

10. Annual corporate governance report and annual remuneration report

Pursuant to Article 538 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, it is hereby noted that the annual corporate governance report and annual remuneration report for 2022 are included in this Management Report in a separate section.
