Redevelopment logistic site Neerland 1 in Wilrijk

In the third quarter of 2013 the partial redevelopment of the site Neerland 1 in Wilrijk (Boomsesteenweg) into a showroom and garage for the Peugeot dealership Antwerp has further progressed. The transaction comprises a build surface area of 5.000 m² on a ground area of nearly 11.000 m² (including parking spaces). During this quarter the entire outer cover of the building (wall panelling, glazing, gates, etc.) has been finished and all structural works on the inside have been carried out. The technical installations and the interior finishing of the project are currently under construction and site works will start soon. The entire redevelopment will as expected be finished entirely according to plan at the middle of December 2013, so that the official opening of the dealership can take place before the end of the year.

For the first nine months of 2013, the result on portfolio amounts to € 8,0 million compared to - € 1,0 million for the first nine months of 2012.

In the first nine months of 2013, the fair value of the real estate portfolio of the property investment fund has decreased by € 2,6 million through the combined effect of the sale of a semi-industrial building located in Kortenberg with a fair value of € 12,4 million, € 4,4 million investments in the portfolio (mainly in the logistic projects Oevel and Neerland 1 in Wilrijk) and the increase in value of the existing real estate portfolio of € 5,4 million.

Analysis of the results of the third quarter of 20135

For the third quarter of 2013, rental income of Intervest Offices & Warehouses has decreased by € 0,5 million to € 9,8 million (€ 10,3 million) mainly through the new lease contract with PwC at lower rental prices and the sale of a semi-industrial building in Kortenberg in May 2013.

Property management costs and income amount in the third quarter of 2013 to € 0,2 million (- € 0,1 million) as a result of lower costs for refurbishment at the end of lease.

In the third quarter of 2013, property charges of the property investment fund decrease by nearly € 0,2 million to € 1,0 million (€ 1,2 million) through lower maintenance and repair costs.

General costs amount in the third quarter of 2013 to € 0,3 million (€ 0,4 million). The decrease of € 0,1 million is due to lower advisory costs.

In the third quarter of 2013 the changes in fair value of investment properties amount to - € 0,8 million (- € 0,3 million).

The financial result (excl. changes in fair value - IAS 39) amounts to - € 2,8 million (- € 2,9 million). Through the sale of semi-industrial buildings in Kortenberg and Antwerp the credit facility drawdown of the property investment is about € 17 million lower than in the same period of 2012, resulting in a decrease of net interest charges. The average interest rate of the property investment fund for the third quarter of 2013 amounts to approximately 3,7 %, including bank margins (3,7 %).

The changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (ineffective hedges - IAS 39) include the reduction of the negative market value of interest rate swaps that, in line with IAS 39, cannot be classified as cash flow hedging instruments, for an amount of € 0,2 million (- € 1,0 million).

The operating distributable result for the third quarter of 2013 amounts to € 6,0 million (€ 5,8 million) and increases by € 0,2 million or 3 % compared to third quarter of 2012. This result is derived primarily from a decrease in rental income of the property investment fund in this quarter, compensated by lower refurbishment costs, property charges, general costs and financing costs. This means per share through the issue of 225.124 shares at the moment of the optional dividend in May 2013, that the operating distributable result per share remains stable at € 0,41 (€ 0,41) for the third quarter of 2013.

5 Between brackets comparable figures of the third quarter 2012 (01.07.2012 - 30.09.2012).

3. Forecast for 2013

Except for unexpected evolutions, such as important bankruptcies of tenants or unforeseen increases of interest rates, Intervest Offices & Warehouses estimates that the operating distributable result for financial year 2013 will be between € 1,65 and € 1,70 per share. In the currently competitive environment it is essential that Intervest Offices & Warehouses can pursue the realization of its strategy. Investments in quality and herewith in the lettability of its buildings is crucial to exploit in the long run the value potential of the property investment fund. Therefore Intervest Offices & Warehouses has concluded that it is essential to lower the until now applied pay-out ratio of 100 % to keep enough liquidity for investments in the portfolio. Compensations and refurbishment fees, received from terminated lease contracts, will therefore not be distributed but used for later refurbishment works as well as future investments in the real estate portfolio. Taking into account a payout ratio of 90 % a gross dividend between € 1,48 and € 1,53 per share (€ 1,76 for financial year 2012) will be proposed. Based on the closing share price on 30 September 2013 (€ 18,25) this represents a gross dividend yield between 8,1 % and 8,4 %.
