IFRS earnings per share

Earnings per share or EPS is a financial measure, which indicates KMC Properties' profitability. EPS is calculated as profit divided by the the number of outstanding shares. The IFRS earnings for the last twelve months prior 30 June 2023 was NOK 139 million excluding discontinued operations. The weighted average number of shares in the period 30 June 2022 to 30 June 2023 was 315 million resulting in NOK 0.44 per share.

EPRA earnings per share

EPRA earnings is a measure of underlying operating performance, excluding fair value gains, disposals and other items not considered to be part of core activity. Thus, to bridge from IFRS earnings to EPRA earnings one must adjust for contributions to NAV, which includes changes in value of investment properties and deferred tax on investment properties. In addition, add back value changes of financial items and deferred tax on financial derivates. In the last twelve months prior to 30 June 2023 the EPRA earnings was NOK 198 million and NOK 33 million in the second quarter. The weighted number of shares in the respective periods was 315 million and 344 million. Resulting in EPRA EPS for the last twelve months of NOK 0.63 and NOK 0.10 for the second quarter.

Risks and uncertainty factors

KMC Properties' risks and risk management are described in the group's annual report for 2022. The Annual Report 2022 can be found at www.kmcp.no.

Outlook

The current macroeconomic environment is characterised by high uncertainty. High inflation has resulted in a significant increase in interest rates, impacting the real estate industry. However, KMC Properties' portfolio of high yielding logistic and light industry properties with solid tenants, long triple net bare-house contracts, and 100% CPI adjustments on almost all of its lease agreements, reduces these risks significantly. In addition, KMC Properties newly refinanced interest-bearing debt puts the company in a strong financial position and creates a solid platform for further accretive growth.

KMC Properties remains committed to its investment strategy, focusing on properties in Northern Europe with solid tenants in established industries, in addition to greenfield and capex projects in collaboration with current and new tenants.

The company's investments have increased the overall EBITDA yield due to increased utilisation of the current organisation and will continue its accretive growth towards its goal of a GAV of NOK 8 billion in 2024.

The company still intends to acquire the remaining properties included in the transformative agreement entered with BEWI on 30 June 2022. However, both final terms and financing are under negotiation.

When the company has sufficient liquidity, the board of directors intends to propose to the general meeting to pay dividends in line with the company's dividend policy of 30 to 50 per cent of cash earnings.

Selected notes to the interim financial statements

Note 01 Basis of preparation and accounting principles

The results for the period have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles that have been used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are in conformity with the principles used in preparation of the annual financial statements for 2022.

In the beginning of 2022, the group decided to exit the Russian market and initiated an active process to locate a buyer for its Russian subsidiary owning the company's office building in Moscow. The investment in Russia is consequently presented as a discontinued operation and the associated assets and liabilities presented as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5. The Russian subsidiary was sold in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The financial reporting covers KMC Properties ASA and subsidiaries. The interim financial statements have not been audited.

Note 02 Tenancy agreements

The group mainly enters into long-term lease agreements with solid counterparties, for properties that are strategically located for the tenants. Most lease contracts are "triple-net bare house lease agreements". Lease payments of the contracts include CPI increases.

The sensitivity of the fair-value assessment of investment properties depends to a considerable extent on assumptions related to yield, interest rates, market rents and operating costs for the properties. The table below presents examples of how changes related to each of these variables influenced property values, on 30 June 2023, assuming all other variables remained constant (amounts in NOK million). However, there are interrelationships between these variables, and it is expected that a change in one variable may influence one or more of the other variables.

Variables Change of variables Value change (+) Value change (-)
Exit yield +/- 0.25 per cent points (48) 52
Discount rate +/- 0.25 per cent points (121) 120

The details for the calculation of the performance measures are shown on the following pages.

A. EPRA EARNINGS

EPRA Earnings is a measure of the operational performance of the property portfolio. EPRA Earnings is calculated based on the income statement, adjusted for non-controlling interests, value changes on investment properties, changes in the market value of financial instruments and the associated tax effects.

B. EPRA NET ASSET VALUE (NAV) METRICS EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV)

The objective of the EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis and assumes that no selling of assets takes place. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. Real estate transfer taxes are levied on property transactions in Netherland, but not on property transactions in the Nordics. Such taxes are accordingly only included for Netherlands in KMC Properties valuation certificates.

EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA)

The EPRA NTA is focused on reflecting a company's tangible assets and assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax liability. KMC Properties has adopted the first option in the EPRA BPR guidelines excluding all deferred tax related to investment properties, since KMC Properties has no intention to sell any of its properties.

Outstanding shares at period end (million) 344 285 324
EPRA NTA per share 7.8 7.2 7.5

EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV)

The EPRA NDV measure illustrates a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability. This enables readers of financial reports to understand the full extent of liabilities and resulting shareholder value under an orderly sale of business and/ or if liabilities are not held until maturity. The measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" for KMC Properties, as fair values may not represent liquidation values, and as an immediate realisation of KMC Properties assets may be structured as sale of property-owning companies, resulting in the deferred tax liabilities only partially crystallising

C. EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY)

EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY) measures the annualised rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, increased with (estimated) purchasers' costs.

EPRA "topped-up" NIY incorporates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY in respect of the expiration of rent-free periods (or other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents).
