In the first quarter of 2023, KMC Properties delivered well on its key priorities, including our top priority to refinance the company's senior secured bond loan. We continued the work to integrate the properties recently acquired and progressed an important project on energy labelling. We are also very pleased to complete acquisitions of five additional properties in the quarter, of which one property located in Narvik announced in December last year, and four properties in Denmark and Finland, which were part of the transformative agreement entered with BEWI last summer.
KMC Properties has demonstrated strong growth over the past years, following investments in greenfield development projects, acquisitions of new properties, as well as expansion projects and extensions of existing contracts with tenants. Investments explains most of the growth in the company's rental income over the last twelve months, up 52 per cent amounting to NOK 96 million for the first quarter of this year. The growth of 20 per cent from the previous quarter is mostly due to CPI and contract adjustments.
Based on the first quarter rental income, our annual rental income is NOK 412 million, compared to NOK 317 million based on the fourth quarter income.
Throughout the first quarter, KMC Properties acquired a total of five industrial properties, strengthening our platform for further growth. Firstly, we completed the acquisition of a logistic property, including a dry-, cold- and freeze storage outside Narvik, Norway, with long lease agreements with solid tenants. Secondly, we completed the acquisition of four properties in Denmark and Finland from BEWI, accounting for approximately one third of the remaining part of the agreement entered in June last year.
At the end of the quarter, our investment properties were valued at NOK 5 993 million, up from NOK 4 009 million at the end of the first quarter last year, and from NOK 5 366 million at year-end 2022.
In 2022, KMC Properties significantly stepped up its efforts on ESG. To reduce our carbon footprint, we are dedicated
at improving the energy efficiency of our buildings and increase the use of renewable energy sources, priorities we share with our tenants. Therefore, an important ongoing project in the group is to secure energy labelling of our portfolio, enabling a more targeted approach for our efforts as we advance.
As previously communicated, our top priority is the refinancing of the company's bond loan. We are very pleased with the progress of this work in the first quarter. Despite the tough macroeconomic environment, our business model and strong property portfolio is attracting positive interest from the market, including banks, private debt providers and investors. Thus, we have additional comfort that a new and solid financing framework will be established by the end of the second quarter, enabling us to continue to pursue growth opportunities.
In addition to the refinancing and the energy labelling project, we will continue our work to integrate acquired properties into our portfolio and further develop our pipeline of growth opportunities. With this platform, we are very well positioned to reach our strategic target of a NOK 8 billion real estate portfolio by the end of 2024.
Trondheim, 3 May 2023
Liv Malvik Chief executive officer, KMC Properties ASA
KMC Properties is an Oslo Børs listed real estate company focusing on high-yield industrial- and logistic properties. The company has a diversified portfolio of properties in the Nordics and the Netherlands. The properties are strategically located and have long lease agreements with solid tenants.
Most of the company's rental agreements are long-term triple net bare house contracts resulting in low operational expenses and a solid operational cash flow. A large share of the company's gross asset value is based on the contractual cash flow. As the properties are at very strategic locations for the tenants, contract extensions are likely and will have a positive value adjustment potential.
The company has an ambitious growth strategy with a solid pipeline of M&A initiatives and development projects. KMC Properties expects its growth to have a positive impact on its financial expenses, as a result of expected lower interest margin on interest-bearing debt, further improving the income from property management.

Earnings per share or EPS is a financial measure, which indicates KMC Properties' profitability. EPS is calculated as profit divided by the outstanding shares of common stock. The IFRS earnings for the last twelve months prior 31 March 2023 was NOK 203 million excluding discontinued operations. The weighted average number of shares in the period 31 March 2023 to 31 March 2022 was 300 million resulting in NOK 0.68 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 31 March 2023 the EPRA earnings was NOK 228 million and NOK 80 million in the first quarter. The weighted number of shares in the respective periods was 300 million and 324 million. Resulting in EPRA EPS for the last twelve months of NOK 0.76 and NOK 0.25 for the first quarter.

On 2 January 2023, KMC Properties completed its acquisition of a logistic property, including a dry-, cold- and freeze storage facility outside Narvik, Norway, for NOK 90 million.
The property in Narvik is composed of 22 357 m2 BTA of land and 16 400 m2 of a building substantially upgraded in 2011. The property is strategically located in a logistic hub south of Narvik city center, close to the E6 motorway, the railway and port terminal.
The property has a lease agreement with the Norwegian meat producer Kuraas AS for approximately 4 500 m2, with an initial lease of 15 years and an option to extend. In addition, KMC Properties has signed a lease agreement with Servicegrossistene for an additional 4 100 m2, with an initial lease of 10 years and an option to extend.
Servicegrossistene is the largest specialist for delivery of groceries to large households in Norway.
The annualised lease for the current contracts amounts to NOK 5.7 million for 2023 and NOK 8.0 million (excluding CPI adjustment) for 2024. The contracts will be subject to 100 per cent CPI adjustment from 1 January 2024.
In addition, almost half the property is currently vacant, enabling a potential for significant additional income.
On 31 March 2023, KMC Properties completed the acquisition of one Danish and three Finnish properties from BEWI for a total transaction value of NOK 348.3 million. The properties have a rental income of DKK 3.5 million and EUR 1.6 million, giving a gross yield of approximately 6.6 per cent, and a WAULT of 17 years. The transaction also includes a set of contractual changes on existing properties rented by BEWI.
The acquisition of the four properties represents approximately one third of the value of the second tranche of the larger ongoing portfolio transaction with BEWI, scheduled for completion in June 2023, and completes the acquisition of the Nordic share of the BEWI transaction. KMCP values the Danish property at DKK 52.8 million and the three Finish properties at EUR 20.3 million, with the remaining transaction value representing five contract extensions from seven to 15 years, and a cancellation of a buy-back clause related to one of KMCP's previously acquired properties.
The transaction is financed by a combination of revolving credit facility, and new KMC Properties shares. The part settlement in equity was announced on the 19 of April 2023, see Subsequent Events for details. The company is currently in the process of getting commitments on the long-term financing of the properties.
KMC Properties has an exclusive right to acquire the remaining part of the BEWI portfolio until 30 June 2023. This option is considered to have no material intrinsic value and is therefore not recognised as a financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The company expects that the refinancing of the senior secured NOK 1 850 million bond loan, with maturity on 11 December 2023, will be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter of 2022 KMC Properties received a committed offer of approximately NOK 315 million and indicative offers for approximately NOK 750 million. Active dialogues and due diligence processes with banks and private debt providers for the remainder are ongoing.
The significant increase in inflation worldwide and the central bank's reaction to this has resulted in increased interest rates. This is affecting KMC Properties' financial expenses and may affect the valuation of the portfolio. However, KMC Properties has a 37 per cent hedging ratio and is operating in a high yield segment, hence the company has solid foundation for handling this risk. Also, 99 per cent of the company's lease agreements include 100 per cent CPI adjustments.
KMC Properties ASA is listed on the Oslo Børs (Oslo Stock Exchange) under the symbol KMCP. The company has a total of 344 129 580 issued and outstanding shares as of 3 May 2023.
For a continuously updated overview of the company's largest shareholders, see the Investor section at the company's homepage www.kmcp.no
During the first quarter of 2023, the KMC Properties' share was traded between NOK 5.98 and NOK 7.18 per share, with a closing price of NOK 6.00 on 31 March 2023.
The board approved a long-term incentive plan ("LTIP 2023") aimed to align the interests of the employees of the company with those of the shareholders. Under LTIP 2023 Employees of KMC Properties have been awarded 3 238 936 share options (equivalent to 1.0 per cent of the total number of shares issued at the time of the award).
The options will have a vesting period of three years from being awarded and may then be exercised in a period of two additional years.
On 19 April 2023, KMC Properties announced that the board of directors resolved to increase the company's share capital by NOK 4 047 186.20 by the issuance of 20 235 931 new shares. The share increase is in relation to the settlement of the acquisition of four properties from BEWI announced on 31 March 2023.
In the first quarter of 2023, KMC Properties acquired a total of 5 industrial properties, including one third of the remaining BEWI portfolio. The company has grown the value of its investment portfolio (GAV) from approximately NOK 5.4 billion to NOK 6.0 billion.
KMC Properties remains committed to its investment strategy, focusing on properties in Northern Europe with solid tenants within selected industries, in addition to greenfield and capex projects in collaboration with current and future tenants.
The current macroeconomic environment is characterised by high uncertainty. In particular, the high inflation resulting in significant increase in interest rates impact the real estate industry. However, KMC Properties' portfolio of high yielding logistic and light industry properties with solid tenants and long triple net lease contracts, and its 100 per cent CPI adjustments on almost all its lease agreement, still provides a comfortable headroom towards its covenants. Further, the company's investments have increased the overall EBITDA yield due to increased utilisation of the current organisation.
Going forward, KMC Properties' key priority continues to be the completion of the refinancing of the senior secured bond loan. Further, the company continues to focus on integration of recently acquired properties, completing the last phase of the transformative agreement with BEWI, further developing the pipeline of M&A opportunities, and securing progress in ongoing development projects.
When refinancing of the senior secured bond loan is completed, and provided that the company has sufficient liquidity for committed investments, 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. The board of directors considers KMC Properties to be well positioned to tackle the challenging macro environment and reach the company's target of NOK 8.0 billion in GAV by the end of 2024.

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 31 March 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.

2) In accordance with valuation from Cushman & Wakefield at 3 March 2022.
The bond terms governing the bond issue, require that all funds received from sale of pledged properties shall be paid into a bank account blocked and pledged in favor of the bond holders (the "Disposal Account"). Funds from the Disposal Account may be used to finance development of properties in the bond security package. Hence, in accordance with the bond terms, KMC Properties ASA sold Levanger Eiendom AS in the first quarter of 2023 for NOK 29 million. The purchase price was paid to the Disposal Account.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).
