Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Oftentimes, we are best able to understand something we are interested in through analogies that clarify the matter by establishing connections between them and other parts of life and business. The paradox of risk-taking is inescapable. Taking them does not mean we will be successful; that's why they call it risk. Because the future is inherently uncertain, we usually have to choose between (a) avoiding risk and having little or no return, (b) taking a modest risk and settling for a commensurately modest return, or (c) taking on a high degree of uncertainty in pursuit of substantial gain but accepting the possibility of substantial loss. At MLP Group we are combining growth with moderate risk, predominantly by focusing on projects in the core urban areas, attracting top quality tenants.
2024 was a landmark year for MLP Group - we leased a record 307,194 sqm of industrial space, including 225,221 sqm of new contracts (+106% YoY). In 2024, MLP Group acquired 22 new tenants, 20% of the demand came from existing tenants.

In 2024, MLP Group leased 307,194 sqm of industrial space, including 225,221 sqm of new contracts (+106% YoY), delivering approx. 93 thousand sqm at a Yield on Cost ("YoC") of 12% with a 65% leased area at completion, bringing the Group's standing portfolio to 1.4 million sqm of GLA.
New annualized rentals and renewals from contracts signed in 2024 will translate into PLN 85.6 million growth in 2025 onwards (+40% vs. current year revenues).
As of 31 December 2024, projects under construction totaled 236 thousand sqm, with a potential rental income of EUR 17.0 million when fully leased and an expected minimum YoC of 11.5%.
The Group's landbank increased to 257 ha, of which 115 ha is owned and the on-balance sheet. This landbank secures substantial future growth potential for MLP Group, around the existing business parks in the core urban areas.
MLP Group has a stable occupancy rate at 95%.
Rent collection levels stood at 99% with no deterioration in payment profile. Customer relationship management helps us develop long-term partnerships lasting even over 20 years with the retention rate of approx. 99%.
With approximately 195 tenants, MLP Group has a wide and diversified international tenant base, consisting of blue-chip companies with strong credit ratings. MLP Group's tenants represent a broad range of industries, including manufacturing, high-tech, automotive, e-commerce, retail, wholesale, and third-party logistics. Our tenants represent a 1 or 2 Dun & Bradstreet rating which exhibits high attention we place on client quality and credit rating.
The quality and location of our portfolio is important to our tenants, but in our DNA we believe the high level of service we provide is crucial to maintaining high tenants' retention levels and satisfaction. According to our continuous satisfaction survey, 96% (increase by +1% vs. 2023) of tenants said that they considered MLP Group as their most professional business partner.
MLP Group's Investment Properties represent one of the most modern portfolios in the European logistic market, with 90% of the buildings developed within the last 10 years and over 60% in the last 5 years.
As of 31 December 2024, Gros Assets Value (GAV) reached PLN 5 519.4 million (+22 % vs. 31 December 2023), EUR 1 291.7 million (+25% vs. 31 December 2023). As of 31 December 2024, projects under construction totaled 236 thousand sqm, with a potential rental income of EUR 17.0 million when fully leased and an expected YoC minimum of 11.5%.

Gross Asset Value represents the value of our investment properties and Property, plant and equipment as recognized in the Group's accounting records and financial statements in accordance with IFRS, not including residential properties and perpetual usufruct.
PLN strengthening against the EUR has had an adverse impact on the value of our investment property. Due to the strengthening of PLN in the reporting period - as at December 31, 2023 EUR 1 = PLN 4.3480 as of the reporting date of December 31, 2024 EUR 1 = PLN 4.2730, a decrease of PLN 0.0750 (-2%). As a consequence, the value of our investment properties decreased by PLN 77.3 million.
Net Assets Value (NAV) reached PLN 2 746.2 million (+15% vs. 31 December 2023), EUR 642.7 million (+17% vs. 31 December 2023).

NAV CONTRIBUTION (IN MN PLN)

*As at December 31,2024 the project in Austria was under construction, and as at December 31, 2023 the project was in the process of obtaining a building permit.
Undoubtedly, further interest rate cuts are expected in 2025 which shall inevitably translate, among other things, into lower yields and consequently an increase in the valuation of real estate.
Over 80% of MLP Group's portfolio is certified with BREEAM/ DGNB at very good or excellent level.
Lease agreements signed in 2024 were totalling 307,194 sqm. including 225,221 sqm of new contracts (+106% YoY). In 2024, MLP Group acquired 22 new tenants, and 20 percent of the total demand came from existing tenants.
Between Q3 and Q4, there was a significant 73% increase in warehouse space rental, highlighting a strong surge in demand in the last quarter.

As of 31 December 2024, development projects were ongoing across all countries totalling 235 857 sqm i.e. in Poland 142 487 sqm, in Vienna 54 520 sqm and in Germany 38 850 sqm. We have already leased 40% of this development in the construction, which reconfirms the robustness of the occupier market.
Tenants from the light manufacturing and logistics sectors were the largest takers of our space during 2024. In 2024, we acquired 22 new tenants, and 20 % of the total demand came from existing tenants.
As of 31 December 2024, our portfolio generated rental income of PLN 214.8 million. During the year, we contracted PLN 22.2 million of new rent.

| 2024 | 214 802 | 49 905 | 4.3042 | 225 991 |
Rental income increased by 7% in 2024 compared to 2023. The agreements concluded by the Group's Companies are in EUR or denominated in EUR. Therefore, eliminating the impact of negative exchange rate differences, revenue in EUR increased by 13% in 2024 compared to 2023.
When converted at a fixed exchange rate (the average rate from 2023), rental income for 2024 would amount to 225,991 thousand PLN.
Existing portfolio continues to perform well – none of MLP Group's tenants ran into insolvency or significant liquidity problems - very restrictive and conservative tenants' acceptance policy brings sufficient level of comfort for economic slowdown.

MLP GROUP 1Q 2023 RESULTS
In line with our conservative financial approach, MLP Group benefits from a solid liquidity position to fund its growth ambitions, with a fixed cost of debt and conservative repayment profile. Considering the current geopolitical situation and high volatility in the economy, we are very well prepared for the current challenges.
In Q4 2024, MLP Group successfully placed its first Eurobond offering in the international capital markets. All offered senior green notes were fully subscribed, with a total nominal value of EUR 300 million. We adopted a financial policy based on a rebalancing of our debt structure from the secured debt towards the unsecured debt.
YE MLP Group liquidity position stood at EUR 161 million (cash and cash equivalents).

*Run Rate EBITDA ratio has been calculated since YE 2024. Run-Rate EBITDA represents (i) EBITDA before revaluation plus (ii) run-rate contribution of lease agreements entered into prior to December 31, 2024, which started generating revenue in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, but whose impact was not reflected fully in the results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, plus (iii) run-rate contribution of new lease agreements entered into prior to December 31, 2024, which have not started generating revenue in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, but which are expected to start generating revenue after reporting date (2025 onwards).
MLP Group has already installed 8.1 MWp of photovoltaic systems on the rooves and further 1.9 MWp shall be installed by the end of 2025. In 2024, we recorded a 9% increase in profits from energy sales due to the adoption of PV and the termination of maximum energy price regulations. The YoC is 11%.

MLP Group continued its disciplined capital allocation in its highly profitable pipeline as the demand stays stable. In 2025, we plan to deliver approx. 250–300 ths sqm. In addition, leasing contracts signed in 4Q 2024 shall pave the way for a significant increase in revenue and EBITDA in 2025.
In 2025, projects in Austria and Germany shall contribute to over 50% of total MLP Group results for the first time.
We expect further high single digit growth in rental rates and ERV (estimated rental values) supported by structural drivers of occupational demand and limited supply.
Data Center projects are the digital backbone of the economy, just like logistics for the standard economy. Obviously, we will participate in this market => the acquired plot in Castrop Rauxel in Q4 2024 will be primarily intended for Data Center projects.
Poland is our key market – and we will continue our development. In 2024, we acquired a plot in Rzeszów – which shall be a magnet for post war investment regarding Ukraine/international business. We are planning to increase our position in the Warsaw market.
We will continue further expansion of our business in Romania, where MLP Bucharest played a significant role in our 2024 growth. We are seeing gradual increase in leasing in MLP Bucharest Sud, predominantly by Polish and European light industry tenants.
We will continue our development in Germany and Austria, where we are systematically increasing our portfolio of projects. We plan to strengthen and expand our presence in the regions where we are already present i.e. Vienna, North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg and Hessen and put our feet in Bavaria, where we are expecting to acquire our first plot in 2025.
Growth will be further boosted by lower construction costs, which have largely returned to pre-covid levels, which should further increase our profitability.
Urban/City logistics projects (MLP Business Park) will be in our focus in 2025 and onwards being a high growth potential, high profitability and resilient to economic downturns projects. Our 2028 target is to reach 30% value of Urban/City logistic projects to the total MLP Group portfolio GAV.

There is no doubt that we live in precarious times with geopolitical risks, and their impact on the economy and on the stability of economic development are immeasurable. Good times or bad times are just adjectives that do not say much. We need to adapt to the prevailing economic environment and focus on risk management in order to balance stable business development in the coming periods and avoid materially wrong decisions.
Undoubtedly, the planned remilitarization of Europe will translate into additional investments => military spending is always linked to investments in technology, investment in technology requires access to university. Our parks are located in core urban areas where there are academic centres, access to qualified staff, our projects are equipped with very good infrastructure, including access to energy and all these elements will provide an attractive offer to enticetechnological investments (almost half of our tenants are manufacturing/light industry/technology companies) => this is in line with our long-term strategy.
I do believe we have the best teams across all countries, which I am extremely proud of, always with a great desire to provide the best solutions for our tenants and always wanting to be better than our competition.
I would like to express my deep gratitude and appreciation to all team members. From this letter, I hope shareholders and all readers gain an appreciation for the tremendous character and capabilities of MLP Group's team and I hope you are as proud of them as I am.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future and in conviction that there are no circumstances which would indicate a threat to the Group's continuing as a going concern.
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated full-year financial statements for 2023.
In these consolidated financial statements all amounts are presented in the Polish złoty (PLN), rounded to the nearest thousand. The Polish złoty is the functional currency of the Parent and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements. The functional currencies of consolidated foreign entities are the euro (Germany and Austria) and the Romanian leu (Romania).
The following exchange rates (in PLN) were used to measure items of the consolidated statement of financial position denominated in foreign currencies:
| 31 December 2024 Average mid exchange rate at the reporting date |
31 December 2024 Average mid exchange rate during the reporting period* |
31 December 2023 Average mid exchange rate at the reporting date |
31 December 2023 Average mid exchange rate during the reporting period* |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR | 4.2730 | 4.3042 | 4.3480 | 4.5284 |
| USD | 4.1012 | 3.9853 | 3.9350 | 4.1823 |
| RON | 0.8589 | 0.8652 | 0.8742 | 0.9145 |
* Arithmetic mean of the mid exchange rates effective as at the last day of each month in the reporting period.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with the EU IFRS requires the Management Board to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on experience and other factors deemed reasonable under the circumstances, and their results provide a basis for judgement about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not directly attributable to other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. A change in accounting estimates is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, or in the current and future periods if the revised estimate relates to both the current and future periods. In material matters, the Management Board makes estimates based on opinions and valuations prepared by independent experts.
For information on the significant uncertainties concerning estimates and judgements made using the accounting policies which had the most significant effect on the amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, see Note 13. "Investment property".
Other areas in which estimates are made in the Consolidated Financial Statements include: lease assets and liabilities (land usufruct rights), provision for variable costs of remuneration for the Management Board, provision for repairs, and provision for part of potential claims arising in connection with land usufruct rights.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements by all the Group entities.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include data of MLP Group S.A. and its subsidiaries prepared as at the same reporting date.
Due to the fact that not all Group companies apply the same accounting policies as those applied by the Parent, appropriate restatement of the financial statements of such entities was made to ensure compliance with the accounting policies applied by the Parent in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Subsidiaries are controlled by the Parent. The Parent controls an investee if and only if it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of assuming control over subsidiaries to the date on which such control ceases to exist.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiaries are aggregated by adding individual items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. In order to ensure presentation in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as if it were a single business entity, the carrying amount of the Parent's investment in each of the subsidiaries is eliminated. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the exchange rate of the functional currency as at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate of the functional currency effective for the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate effective as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate effective as at the date of fair value measurement. As at the reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Polish zloty are translated into the Polish zloty at the relevant exchange rate as at the reporting date; in this case the translation into PLN is made at the mid-rate for a given currency set by the National Bank of Poland. Currency translation differences are recognised in finance income or costs, as appropriate.
For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements in the presentation currency of PLN, individual items of the financial statements of foreign operations for which the functional currency is a currency other than PLN are translated as follows:
(i) assets and liabilities - at the closing rate announced for a given currency by the NBP,
(ii) income, expenses, profits and losses - at the exchange rate being the arithmetic mean of average exchange rates announced for a given currency by the National Bank of Poland on the last day of each month of in the reporting period. If there are significant fluctuations in the exchange rate during the period, income and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date.
Exchange differences on translation of financial statements of foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income for the period and cumulatively in equity.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments whose fair value or cash flows are expected to offset changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item are recognised in accordance with fair value hedge accounting or cash flow hedge accounting.
The Group assesses the hedge effectiveness both at inception of the hedge and then at least at the end of each reporting period. Verification of the fulfilment of the conditions for the effectiveness of the relation is made on a prospective basis, based on qualitative analysis. If necessary, the Group uses quantitative analysis (linear regression) to confirm the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.
If the Group applies cash flow hedge accounting, then:
the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is designated to be an effective hedge of the hedged risk is recognised in other comprehensive income;
the ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in profit or loss. If cash flows from operating activities are hedged, the ineffective portion is recognised in other income/expenses, and where the hedging covers cash flows from financing activities – in finance income/costs,
gains or losses recognised directly in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss for the current period as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods in which the hedged planned cash flows affect profit or loss for the current period.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, arising from the issuance of cash, the delivery of goods or the performance of services to a debtor without any intention to classify these receivables as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. They are recognised as current assets unless their maturity exceeds 12 months.
Financial assets classified in this category are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate less impairment losses. Revaluation takes into account the timing and likelihood of their payment.
A financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost when the following two conditions are met:
the assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding.
The Group's financial assets measured at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents, loans, and trade and other receivables.
Loans are presented under the following items of the statement of financial position: non-current portion – in other long-term financial investments, and current portion – in short-term investments.
Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position include cash in hand and bank deposits with initial maturities of up to three months. The balance of cash and cash equivalents disclosed in the consolidated statement of cash flows comprises the same cash and cash equivalent items, less all outstanding overdrafts which form an integral part of the Group's cash management system.
The Group uses the effective interest rate method to measure financial assets measured at amortised cost.
After initial recognition, trade receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses, where trade receivables maturing in less than 12 months from the date of origination (i.e., not containing a financing element) are not discounted and are measured at nominal value.
The Group classifies trade payables, borrowings and bonds as liabilities measured at amortised cost.
Interest income is recognised in the period to which it relates using the effective interest rate method and disclosed under finance income (in the note as interest income) in the statement of profit or loss.
An instrument is classified as an investment at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or will be classified as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss if the Group actively manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value. On initial recognition, transaction costs related to the investment are recognised in profit or loss on the date they are incurred. Any gains and losses on these investments are recognised in profit or loss.
Current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include assets acquired to obtain economic benefits from short-term price changes and assets that do not meet the criteria for measurement at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Current financial assets are initially recognised at cost and measured at fair value as at the reporting date. Fair value is determined through individual analysis based on discounted cash flows. The result of measurement is recognised in profit or loss.
Gains or losses on measurement of a financial asset classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognised as finance income or costs, in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Gains or losses on measurement of items measured at fair value through profit or loss also include interest income and dividend income.
The Group classifies as assets at fair value through profit or loss derivatives not designated for hedge accounting purposes and loans that do not meet the SPPI test (i.e. cash flows from these loans do not represent solely payments of principal and interest) because the frequency of interest rate changes does not match the interest calculation formula. The above does not apply to hedges used by the Group.
Liabilities under derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting are classified by the Group as measured at fair value through profit or loss. After initial recognition, such liabilities are measured at fair value.
Gain or loss on fair value measurement of debt investments is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. These gains/losses on fair value measurement include interest received on financial instruments classified as measured at fair value.
Equity is recognised in the accounting books by categories, in accordance with the rules set forth in applicable laws and in the Parent's Articles of Association.
Share capital is disclosed at the amount specified in the Articles of Association and recorded in the court register. The Group's share capital is the share capital of MLP Group S.A.
Statutory reserve funds are created from distribution of profits earned in previous years. Statutory reserve funds also include amounts transferred in accordance with the applicable laws.
Share premium is presented as a separate item of equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options reduce equity.
Cash flow hedge reserve includes an effective portion of the gain or loss on a financial instrument that meets the hedge accounting requirements.
Reserve capital comprises retained earnings from prior years.
This item includes undistributed profit (loss) from previous years.
Property, plant and equipment comprises items of property, plant and equipment, leasehold improvements, property, plant and equipment under construction, and property, plant and equipment adopted for use by the Group where the terms of the agreement transfer substantially all the potential benefits and risks and the assets are used for the Group's own needs, and their expected useful life exceeds one year.
Items of property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost, less depreciation charges and impairment losses. Items of property, plant and equipment which were remeasured to fair value as at 1 January 2006, i.e. the date of first-time application of EU IFRS by the Group, are measured at deemed cost equal to the fair value at the date of the remeasurement.
Acquisition cost includes purchase price of an item of property, plant and equipment and costs directly attributable to bringing the item to a condition necessary for it to be capable of operating, including expenses relating to transport, loading, unloading, and storage. Rebates, discounts and other similar concessions and returns reduce the cost of an asset. Cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment under construction comprises all costs incurred by the Group during its construction, installation and assembly, adaptation and improvement, as well as interest expense on borrowings taken out to finance the item of property, plant and equipment directly attributable to the production of the item of property, plant and equipment, until the date of its acceptance for use (or, if the item has not yet been commissioned for use, until the end of the reporting period). The cost also includes, where required, a preliminary estimate of costs of dismantling and removing the items of property, plant and equipment and restoring them to their original condition. Purchased software, necessary for the proper operation of related equipment, is capitalised as a part of this equipment.
If an item of property, plant and equipment consists of separate and significant parts with different economic useful lives, such components are treated as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure on replacement of significant parts of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only when it can be measured reliably and it is probable that the Group will derive economic benefits from such replaced essential components of property, plant and equipment. Other expenditure is expensed in profit or loss as and when incurred.
Items of property, plant and equipment or their significant and separate parts are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, allowing for the expected net selling price of an asset (residual value). Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is based on the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, less its residual value, based on the adopted by the Group and periodically reviewed useful life of the item of property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date when they are available for use until the earlier of: the day an item of property, plant and equipment is classified as held for sale, is derecognised from the consolidated statement of financial position, the residual value of the asset exceeds its carrying amount, or when the asset has been fully depreciated.
The Group has adopted the following useful lives for particular classes of property, plant and equipment:
| Buildings | 10–40 years |

The Group reviews the useful economic lives, depreciation methods and residual values (unless insignificant) of property, plant and equipment on a periodic basis.
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance whose cost has been reliably measured which is expected to generate future economic benefits to the Group.
Intangible assets acquired by the Group are recognised at cost less amortisation charges and impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, unless such useful life is indefinite. Intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use Until the earlier of: the day an item of intangible assets is classified as held for sale, is derecognised from the consolidated statement of financial position, the residual value of the asset exceeds its carrying amount, or when the asset has been fully amortised.
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business or for use in operating activities. Investment property is initially recognised at cost, increased by transaction costs, such as notarial fees, costs of real estate agent fees. Following initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value, with gains or losses from changes in the fair value recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise under gain/(loss) on revaluation of investment property.
The Company applies the cost model of IFRS 16 to all investment properties if their fair value cannot be reliably estimated.
Investment property is derecognised from the consolidated statement of financial position on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the investment property was liquidated or sold.
As of 2022, due to a change in regulations in Poland, investment properties are not depreciated for tax purposes.
In accordance with IFRS 16, the Group recognises assets under usufruct rights to land at discounted amounts of liabilities. These assets are presented on the statement of financial position in the same line item as the underlying assets owned by the Company would be presented. The item includes usufruct rights related to investment property. Depreciation of right-of-use assets is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the same line items as other expenses of this type, i.e., under depreciation.
Recognition of a lease requires making certain estimates, judgements and calculations that influence the measurement of finance lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. These include:
Investment property under construction is recognised as investment property.
Throughout the construction process the Group measures the investment property using the fair value method or the cost method. The cost method can be used in the following two cases:
Gains and losses arising from fair value measurement are recognised directly in profit or loss.
Lease contracts under which the Group assumes substantially all risks and benefits resulting from the ownership of property, plant and equipment are classified as lease contracts. Property, plant and equipment acquired under lease contracts are initially recognised at the lower of their fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments, less any depreciation charges and impairment losses.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs and the reduction of the remaining balance of liabilities using the effective interest rate method. The finance cost is recognised directly in profit or loss. If there is no reasonable probability that items of property, plant and equipment used under lease contracts will be acquired as at the end of the lease term, they are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life. Otherwise, property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives.
At each reporting date, the Group measures expected credit losses of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:
a) an unbiased and probability-weighted amount of credit losses that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
c) reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Under IFRS 9, the Company is required to recognise a loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses, and if at the reporting date the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
The Company applies a three-stage impairment model with respect to financial assets other than trade receivables:
To the extent that the Company is required under the above model to make an assessment as to whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, such assessment is made taking into account the following factors:
The Company has performed an analysis of the effect of expected losses for short-term receivables using the simplified method with respect to the effect of expected losses.
Changes in impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and recognised as other expenses or finance costs, as appropriate, depending on the type of receivables for which an impairment loss is recognised.
Carrying amounts of non-financial assets other than biological assets, investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets are tested for impairment as at each reporting date. If any indication of impairment exist, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of particular assets. The recoverable amount of goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets which are not yet fit for use is estimated at the end of each reporting period.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment of a cash-generating unit is first recognised as impairment of goodwill allocated to that unit (group of units), and subsequently as impairment of carrying amount of other assets of that unit (group of units) on pro-rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, projected cash flows are discounted at a pre-tax rate which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For assets that do not generate independent cash flows, value in use is estimated for the smallest identifiable cash generating units to which those assets are allocated.
Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed. For other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indication that impairment loss has decreased or no longer exists. Impairment losses are reversed if the estimates applied to the assessment of the recoverable amount have changed. An impairment loss is reversed only up to the carrying amount of an asset, less depreciation/amortisation charges that would have been made if the impairment loss had not been recognised.
Under current regulations all the Group companies have an obligation to withhold and pay social security contributions for their employees. Under IAS 19, these benefits constitute a state plan and are a defined contribution plan. Accordingly, the Group companies' obligations for each period are estimated based on the amounts to be contributed for a given year.
Trade receivables and other receivables representing financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Receivables that satisfy the SPPI test and are held for collection are measured at amortised cost including impairment losses calculated using the expected loss model. For short-term receivables, the fair value and amortised cost measurements are not materially different from the nominal amount.
For short-term trade receivables without a significant financing component, the Group applies the simplified approach required under IFRS 9 and measures impairment losses in the amount of credit losses expected over the entire lifetime of the receivable from initial recognition. The Group uses the provision matrix to calculate impairment losses on trade receivables classified in different age groups or delinquency periods. For the purpose of determining expected credit losses, trade receivables were grouped based on similarity of credit risk characteristics (one group of B2B receivables was identified).
To determine the overall default rate, an analysis of collectability of receivables for the last five years is carried out. Default rates are calculated for the following time past due ranges: current (not past due), past due up to 1 month, past due from 1 month to 3 months, past due from 3 months to 6 months, past due from 6 months to 1 year, past due over 1 year. To determine the default rate for a given period, the amount of written off trade receivables is compared with the amount of outstanding receivables.
Impairment losses are calculated taking into account default rates adjusted for the effect of future factors and the amount of receivables outstanding at the reporting date for each period.
The Group concluded that it has homogeneous groups of receivables from institutional customers.
For receivables other than trade receivables, the Group applies a three-stage impairment model.
Impairment losses on receivables are charged to other expenses or finance costs, depending on the nature of the receivables. The amount of an impairment loss on receivables is determined in accordance with local legal regulations and taking into account specific provisions of contracts.
Cash in bank accounts meets the SPPI test and the 'held for collection' business model test and is therefore measured at amortised cost with an impairment charge determined in accordance with the expected loss model.
Cash disclosed in the statement of cash flows comprises cash in hand and bank deposits maturing within three months which that have not been treated as investment activity.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a liability resulting from a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate which reflects current market estimates of changes in the time value of money and the risks associated with a given item of liabilities.
As at the reporting date, provisions are reviewed and appropriate adjustments are made, if necessary, to reflect the current most reliable estimate of their amount. Changes in provisions are charged directly to the appropriate cost item for which the provision was recognised.
Initially, bank and non-bank borrowings are recognised at cost equal to the fair value of the instrument. In subsequent periods, borrowings and other debt instruments are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method, which includes the cost of obtaining the borrowing or other debt instrument as well as discounts or premiums obtained in settlement of liabilities.
Amortised cost includes the cost of obtaining the borrowing or other debt instrument as well as any discounts or premiums obtained in connection with the liability. Any gains or losses are taken to profit or loss when the liability is derecognised or accounted for using the effective interest rate method.
If contract terms of a financial liability are modified in way that does not result in derecognition of the existing liability, the gain or loss is immediately recognised in profit or loss. Profit or loss is calculated as the difference between the present value of modified and original cash flows, discounted using the original effective interest rate of the liability.
Liabilities represent the Group's current obligation arising from past events, where the resolution of such obligation will lead to an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits from the Group.
Current liabilities include liabilities which are payable within 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Current liabilities include in particular: trade payables, salaries, taxes, customs duties, insurance and other benefits.
Trade payables are recognised at nominal value. Interest, if any, is recognised when notes are received from suppliers.
Non-financial liabilities are measured at amounts receivable.
The Group's principal business activity is leasing properties to tenants, with the Group acting as the lessor. The Group has entered into lease contracts for properties within its portfolio. Lease contracts under which the Group does not transfer substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases.
The Group recognises rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, reflecting the average rent over the lease duration.
Commercial property lease contracts typically include clauses permitting periodic increases in rental charges based on the European Consumer Price Index.
The Group also generates revenue from property management services.
This revenue consists of charges paid by tenants of the Group's investment properties to cover the costs of services provided by the Group in connection with their leases. Service charges are invoiced monthly, based on a rate agreed upon in the contract, reflecting the best estimate for each project. Additionally, the Group earns income by recharging utility costs to tenants, which are recharged based on actual consumption. Such income is recognised in accordance with IFRS 15.
The Group recognises revenue from property management services primarily as revenue from acting as a principal. This means that for the purposes of financial statements, such costs are recognised on a gross basis since the Group acts as a principal that controls goods or services before they are transferred to the customer.
Minimum lease payments made under leases are apportioned between finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent payments are accounted for by adjusting the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease, when the lease adjustment is confirmed.
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested by the Group, dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, foreign exchange gains, and such gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss when the Group acquires the right to receive the dividend.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, dividends on preference shares classified as liabilities, foreign exchange losses, fair value losses on financial instruments through profit or loss, impairment losses on financial assets, and gains and losses on hedging instruments recognised in profit or loss. Interest expense is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an investment property are part of the purchase price or production cost of the investment property.
The calculation of current income tax is based on the tax profit for a given period determined in accordance with the applicable tax laws.
Income tax disclosed in profit or loss comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss, except for items that are settled directly with other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the tax payable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted as at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is determined using the balance-sheet liability method, based on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as determined for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. Deferred tax liability is not recognised for the following temporary differences: goodwill whose amortisation is not treated as tax-deductible cost, initial recognition of assets or liabilities that do not affect accounting profit or taxable income, and differences associated with investments in subsidiaries to the extent it is not probable that they will be realised in the foreseeable future. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the expectations as to the manner in which the carrying amount of assets and liabilities is to be realised, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax laws enacted by the reporting date.
Income tax on dividend is recognised when the obligation to pay such dividend arises.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share for ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated taking into account the profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares, the average number of ordinary shares, including bonds or bonds convertible into shares, and options for shares granted to employees.
An operating segment is a separate part of the Group which is engaged in providing certain products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is exposed to other risks and derives other benefits than the other segments. The primary and sole business activity of the Group is construction and management of logistics space. The Group's revenue is derived from renting of own property and from property revaluation. The Group operates in Poland, Germany, Romania, and Austria.
The financial data prepared for management reporting purposes is based on the same accounting principles as those applied in the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
The Group's business is exposed to the following risks arising from holding of financial instruments:
The notes provide information on the Group's exposure to a given risk, the objectives, policies and procedures adopted by the Group to manage that risk and the way in which the Group manages its capital.
The Management Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.
The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor the risks and adherence to the limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. Using such tools as training, management standards and procedures, the Group seeks to build an environment in which all employees understand their respective roles and responsibilities.
Moreover, the pursuit of a low-carbon economy and the fulfilment of international targets to lessen the effects of climate change demand that sustainability risks be evaluated in conjunction with financial risks. These issues are described in Section 1.2. Management Board's Report on the activities of the MLP Group S.A. Group in the 12 months ended 31 December 2024
Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss to the Group if a trading partner or a counterparty in a transaction fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers, loans and cash and cash equivalents.
The objective of risk management is to establish and maintain a stable and sustainable portfolio of loans and other investments in debt instruments in terms of both quality and value. This is achieved by implementing an appropriate credit limit policy.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Structure of the customer base, including the default risk of the industry in which the customers operate, have less significant effect on credit risk.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to the Group's customers. The Group manages the risk by demanding that customers provide bank guarantees to secure rental payments. In some cases, tenants also provide security deposits.
In only few cases has the Group incurred losses as a result of a customer's failure to pay.
The Group's credit risk from loans relates mainly to receivables from related parties. At the moment there are no indicators that related parties will not be able to repay the loans.
Liquidity risk is the risk of the Group not being able to meet in a timely manner its liabilities that are to be settled by delivery of cash or other financial assets. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without risking unacceptable losses or damage to the Group's reputation. To this end, the Group monitors its cash flows and secures access to sufficient cash to cover anticipated operating expenses and expected cash outflows for current financial liabilities, and maintains anticipated liquidity ratios.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's results or the value of financial instruments it holds. The Group mitigates the risk by constantly monitoring the Group's exposures, maintaining the exposures them within assumed limits, and seeking to optimise the rate of return on investment. The risk mitigation measures involve using hedge accounting to reduce the influence of market price volatility on financial results.
The Group is subject to risks arising in connection with sale, purchase, credit and loan transactions which are denominated in currencies (chiefly the euro) other than functional currency. Financial statements are prepared in the Polish złoty, which is functional currency. In order to make estimates as to the level of capital required to achieve our strategic goals, The Group uses euro as a reference currency. Most of the investments executed and planned as part of business strategy is expressed in euro. Across all countries where the Group operate, debt financing is denominated in euros, contracts with general contractors are also concluded in the euro or denominated in this currency, and the Group earn rental income in euro or rents are denominated in euro. Hence, while the Group uses natural hedging to minimize or completely eliminate foreign exchange risk, a specific segment of its expenses, including certain construction costs, service fees, materials, utilities, and employee salaries, are incurred in the currencies of the geographic markets where we the Group is active, namely the Polish złoty, Romanian leu, or the euro.
For reporting purposes, the Group translate amounts denominated in the euro into functional currency. Considering the fluctuations in the PLN/EUR exchange rates, any significant appreciation of functional currency could notably decrease Group's revenue due to the conversion of rents denominated in the euro into PLN. If currency translation or transaction risk materialized, the value of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities reported in euro and translated into zloty could fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates, thereby impacting Group's financial position.
The main objective of the interest rate risk management is to protect the Company from variable market conditions and to enable precise planning of costs in individual periods. Accordingly, the effect of hedging activities should be recognised in a manner that does not affect profit or loss as hedging effects are not of operating nature.
Corporate bonds issued on the Polish capital market bear interest at variable rates.
Credit facilities used by the Group largely bear interest at variable rates. The Group companies also enter into fixed-rate credit facility agreements. Interest rates depend, to a significant degree, on many factors, including the monetary policy of central banks, national and international economic and political conditions, as well as other factors outside the Group's control. Changes in interest rates may increase the Group's borrowing costs under the financial liabilities and thus affect the Group's profitability. Any need to hedge interest rate risk is considered by the Group on a case-by-case basis. In order to mitigate the interest rate risk, the Group companies enter into Interest Rate Swap transactions with their financing banks. Changes in interest rates may have a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of the Group.
The purpose is to hedge interest cash flows exposed to interest rate risk.
To meet this goal, the Group companies strive to enter into credit facility agreements with fixed interest rates, whenever feasible.
An increase in interest rates may also affect the rise in capitalization rates, which in turn may negatively impact property valuation and lead to a breach of bank covenants.
The growth of the commercial real estate market, where the Group is active, is influenced by fluctuations in the construction and real estate sectors, trends within manufacturing, commerce, industry, services, and transportation, as well as the overall economic development. This development is shaped by various macroeconomic factors, including the impact of Russia's military aggression in Ukraine, the associated sanctions against Russia and Belarus (along with their retaliatory measures), the rate of economic growth, inflation, interest rates, labour market conditions, and the volume of direct foreign investments. Also, the Group's business depends indirectly on changes in the global economy. The Group's activities are affected by a range of factors: the military aggression of Russia towards Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions levied against Russia and Belarus (including their reciprocal responses), the dynamics of GDP growth, inflation rates, the level of interest rates and the expectations for their future adjustments, which sway the behaviours of both consumers and businesses, exchange rates, the rate of unemployment, the average wage levels, and
the medians of salaries and incomes. Furthermore, the fiscal and monetary policies within the European Union, especially in the nations where the Group's subsidiaries operate, are also significant influencing factors. The rate of growth of the domestic economy, and thus the Group's business and results, may be affected by slowdown of the global economy. Adverse changes in the macroeconomic conditions and economic and monetary policies in Poland, Romania, the European Central Bank and other countries may have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial results and its ability to implement its plans.
The Group is also exposed to risks inherent to the real estate sector that arise from the acquisition, ownership, and management of properties. The revenue and value of properties can be affected by a variety of factors, including changes in legal and administrative regulations, such as those concerning the acquisition of permits or licenses, land use determinations, and taxation; cyclical variations in the real estate markets where the Group is active; and the capability to obtain suitable construction, management, maintenance, and property security services. The Group takes steps to safeguard its operations from the adverse impacts of these factors.
A downturn in the real estate market could adversely affect the Group's financial performance, particularly in terms of income derived from warehouse space rentals. If tenants default on their obligations or if there are vacancies, the Group would be unable to generate rental revenue, yet would continue to bear property-related expenses such as legal and appraisal fees, maintenance costs, insurance, and local property taxes. As a rule, lease rents and market prices of property depend on economic conditions. A decrease in market prices may result in lease rents being set at levels lower than those originally planned, may lead to losses on individual projects, or may result in a need to find an alternative use of the purchased land. The occurrence of such events may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position and results.
The effectiveness and scale of the Group's operations depend, among other factors, on the supply of appropriate land properties for development, their prices and legal status. The ability to find and acquire appropriate real estate at competitive prices and to obtain financing on appropriate terms is a prerequisite for efficient execution of the adopted strategy and delivery of the planned results. The ability to secure land for investment projects in prime locations depends on the Group's operational effectiveness, the legal framework governing the Group's business, and objective factors within the market environment. The price of land is driven indirectly by such factors as demand for lease of warehouse, manufacturing and office space, as well as macroeconomic conditions, availability of financing, supply of warehouse, manufacturing and office space in a given area, and tenants' expectations as to the standard and location of the properties. The Group seeks to effectively respond to changes in the macroeconomic environment through such measures as phased approach to project execution. The Group has established a dedicated department responsible for identifying and securing land for purchase that meets the specified criteria.
The company's activity in the real estate market entails risks associated with the loss of key tenants and risks stemming from the deterioration of tenants' financial situation. Securing tenants, especially key ones, for the Group's logistics parks is crucial for ensuring commercial success. Such anchor tenants play a significant role in the further development of the logistics park. The Group may face challenges in attracting tenants during economic downturns or when competing with other parks. The Group's performance can also be adversely affected by the financial situation of its tenants, which may deteriorate due to changes in their economic circumstances independent of the quality of their operations. Economic changes may arise from a general market downturn, a slowdown in demand, financial difficulties faced by business partners, rising interest rates, etc. Tenants' problems can adversely impact the Group's financial situation. The Group mitigates this risk by carefully selecting business partners and conducting thorough analyses of their financial situation.
An economic downturn or a significant deterioration in macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations and value of the Group's real estate, including disruptions in financial markets, uncertain economic conditions, and recent inflationary pressure.
The development of the commercial real estate market in which the Group operate depends both on changes in the construction and real estate sectors, trends in manufacturing, trade, industry, services, transport, and on the development of the economy as a whole, which is influenced by a number of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, such as: Russia's military aggression in Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus (as well as the retaliations of these countries), the dynamics of economic growth, Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") levels, the level of inflation rates, the level of interest rates and expectations regarding changes in these rates, which influence the behavior of consumers and entrepreneurs, currency exchange rates, the situation on the labor market, the level of unemployment rates, the level of average wages and median wages and incomes, the value of foreign direct investment, the fiscal and monetary policy of the European Union, including the countries in which the Group operate. The growth rate of the domestic economy, and thus also Group's operations and results, may be affected by a downturn and slowdown in the global economy. Negative changes in the macroeconomic situation and the economic and monetary policies of Poland, Romania, other countries and the European Central Bank may materially adversely affect Group's financial results and its ability to implement plans.
In particular, on February 24, 2022, troops of the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which caused major changes in the economic situation of all European countries and significantly affected the supply and transport routes of raw materials and products. The EU as well as a number of non-EU Member States have imposed sanctions on Russia, Belarus and their leadership and individuals. These sanctions are without precedent in relations between European countries. Given the volume of trade with Russia to date, and above all the dependence of EU countries on natural resources, including gas and oil, imported from Russia, as well as the role of Russia and Ukraine as food exporters, both the sanctions imposed and the retaliation by Russia continue to have a significant impact on the global economy, and are causing far-reaching changes in the direction of flows of both raw materials and products, in particular by limiting trade in goods with Russia and Belarus and restricting transit through Russia, Belarus and Ukraine between Europe and Asia. Higher energy costs and commodity prices, cyber disruptions or attacks, heightened general operating risks and disruption of logistic chains in Europe resulting from the foregoing have led to increased economic instability, market volatility and inflation, which have affected and may continue to affect the financial strength of many commercial real estate tenants and the logistics industry as a whole. Although the hostilities in Ukraine have not had a material adverse effect on the Group's operations thus far, possible unfavorable military developments in Ukraine could lead to changes in logistics routes and negatively affect the propensity for tenant investment in Poland and Romania, thereby leading to a reduction in demand for the Group's services. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect Group's business and its results of operations.
In addition, inflation has the potential to adversely affect Group's liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing overall cost structure. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates and other similar effects.. Although the Group takes measures to mitigate the impact of inflation (including full indexation of 100% of lease agreements), these measures may not be effective and Group's business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
The Group's properties may be damaged or destroyed due to a number of foreseeable or unforeseeable circumstances. It is also possible for third parties to suffer damage as a result of events for which the Group is liable. Although the Group has various insurance policies, including liability insurance related to its operations and real estate, as well as allrisk property insurance, income protection insurance and insurance for directors and officers, these policies may prove to be insufficient and may not cover all risks related to the Group's operations.
Certain risks, such as terrorist attacks, risks related to war or armed conflict, and natural disasters, may also not be insurable or may only be insurable at high costs which, in turn, may make insuring them uneconomical. The insurance policies may not protect the Group against all losses that may incur in connection with the Group's operations, and certain types of insurance may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Accordingly, insurance cover may not be sufficient to fully compensate for losses incurred in connection with Group's properties. If any such risks were to materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Ability to commence and complete the development, redevelopment or upgrading properties depends on a number of factors, some of which are beyond the Group's control. These factors include, in particular, the ability to obtain all required administrative decisions, to secure external financing on satisfactory terms or at all, to engage reliable contractors, and to secure suitable tenants.
Factors over which Group has limited or no control, which may delay or otherwise adversely affect the development or upgrading of its facilities, include:
• an increase in the cost of materials, labor or other costs that may make it uneconomical to complete the project;
• actions of public authorities and local governments resulting in unforeseen changes to land-use plans and architectural and construction requirements;
• defects or limitations in the legal titles to plots of land or buildings we acquire, or defects, limitations or conditions relating to administrative decisions concerning plots of land we hold;
• changes in applicable laws, norms, regulations or standards, or in their interpretation or application,
which come into force after we have commenced the planning or construction phase of a project,
resulting in additional costs or causing delays to the project;
• violations of building standards or norms, faulty construction methods or defective construction
materials;
• industrial accidents, as yet undisclosed existing soil contamination, or potential liability under
environmental and other relevant legislation, for example relating to archaeological finds or
unexploded ordnance or building materials that are deemed harmful to health;
Investment projects may only be carried out if the relevant plots of land have the appropriate technical infrastructure required by law. The relevant authorities may require to create the legally required additional infrastructure as part of our construction work before issuing permits. Such additional work may significantly affect the construction costs of the facility in question.
In addition, the development of certain projects may become uneconomic and/or unfeasible for reasons beyond our control, such as a downturn in the property market or increased financing costs. The Group may not be able to complete these projects on time, within budget or at all, for any of the above or other reasons, which may increase costs, or delay or cause a project to be abandoned, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on Group's financial position and results.
Subcontracting of projects is outsourced to general contractors or other third parties. The successful completion of construction projects depends on the Group's ability to employ general contractors who deliver projects in accordance with accepted standards of quality and safety, on commercially reasonable terms, within agreed timeframes and within the approved budget. The inability to hire general contractors on commercially reasonable terms or the failure of general contractors to meet accepted quality and safety standards, their failure to complete construction or refurbishment on time or within the agreed budget, as well as the general contractors' demand for an increase in remuneration, especially due to an increase in the price of construction materials, may result in increased project costs, delays in project completion, or claims against the Group. In addition, the aforementioned events may adversely affect the Group's image and ability to sell completed projects.
Contractors and third-party service providers may be adversely affected by economic downturns, insolvencies or any other risks inherent to the provision of any such services. These risks include damages caused by severe weather conditions (e.g., fires, floods or natural disasters) and construction related delays due to personnel shortages, strikes, building site safety, governmental permits, adverse weather conditions, shortage of or inability to source building materials and transportation issues, any of which may be influenced by the respective parties' reliance on third parties. The financial strength and liquidity of the general contractors may prove to be insufficient in the event of a significant downturn in the property market or increases in the cost of development, which in turn could lead to their bankruptcy, adversely affecting the execution of the Group's strategy.
In connection with the construction of developments, the Group enters both general construction contracts, as well as contracts for the execution of specific works, including road-, water-, and sewage-related works. These contracts contain provisions to secure the performance of general contractors' obligations and secure claims against them, for example, by establishing a guarantee of proper and timely performance of the subject of the contract (in the form of a performance bond or a bank or insurance guarantee), as well as by establishing contractual penalties for delays. However, these provisions may not cover all costs and damages incurred in such circumstances, and they may not completely eliminate the consequences of delays in the construction of a project, such as an unplanned increase in completion costs and a delay in revenue generation. In specific cases, it may turn out that the contractors are unable to satisfy the Group's claims, which in turn may result in an inability to cover the losses incurred.
Dependence on general contractors also exposes Group to all risks relating to the poor quality of the work of such general contractors, their subcontractors and employees, and to construction defects. In particular, the Group may incur damages due to the need to engage other contractors to correct faulty work or due to the need to pay compensation to persons who have suffered damages due to faulty work. Furthermore, there is a risk that such losses or costs will not be covered by the Group's insurance, by the contractor or by the relevant subcontractor. In addition, the Group may be affected by occupational accidents involving persons employed by its contractors. Although the Group is not directly liable for workplace accidents affecting employees of construction contractors carrying out work on construction sites, accidents may nevertheless cause disruptions to the contractors' work, which may consequently cause delays in project execution and generate additional costs.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that contractors or third-party service providers will not terminate agreements with the Group or enter into default. The Group's ability to continue its business operations upon any termination, default or similar circumstances caused by contractors or service providers is limited by, among others, the availability of qualified replacement contractors or service providers and/or our ability to enter into favorable agreements with them. Subsequently, following any termination, default or similar circumstance, the Group may no longer be able to develop, manage, operate, and maintain real estate properties or to assess or manage Group's transactions.
Any of these events could negatively affect the Group's profitability and financial position or result in claims, which could have an adverse effect on Group's reputation.
As part of operations and in managing assets, the Group is required to obtain numerous permits, arrangements, approvals, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities including permits for the construction and use of its investment properties. Further approvals and permits with respect to, among others, density, site planning and protection of the environment may also be required. Obtaining such permits and approvals may be time consuming and is often, in particular with regard to land use plans (including the implementation of new zoning plans for our projects), subject to the discretion of the local authorities and may require significant resources.
The Group cannot assure that all such permits, arrangements, approvals, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities in connection with existing properties or new investments will be obtained in a timely manner, or that they will be obtained at all, or that permits, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities held now or obtained in the future will not expire, be revoked or cancelled, or that their validity will be extended in a timely manner.
In addition, public administration authorities may make the issuance of certain administrative decisions or other rulings subject to compliance with certain additional conditions (including, for example, provision of appropriate infrastructure) or obligations, which may involve additional costs and prolong the proceedings, resulting in a temporary inability to generate revenue.
In addition, the Group may seek to make changes to some of projects or facilities, as well as changes to the use of the properties so as to use them more efficiently or in line with trends in the property market at the time. It may not be possible to implement such changes, due to difficulties in obtaining or amending the required permits, approvals, administrative decisions or other rulings by public administration authorities, particularly in the case of properties entered in the register of historic buildings.
The Group's ability to obtain the permits required to realize development projects is dependent on ability to meet the relevant regulatory and planning requirements. The Group own property in numerous geographies and may therefore need to meet different requirements for each geography while being subject to various authorities' discretion in granting such permits. The Group's progress in development activities is highly dependent on the decisions of such local authorities, and this process is often uncertain and political, and may require significant efforts in order to secure the necessary approvals. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be received, or that they will be received in a timely manner or without unfavorable provisions and/or conditions. Planning regulations and permits could also be challenged within the relevant statutory period, which could eventually lead to delays in the realization or even in completion of a particular development project.
In addition, social and environmental organizations, as well as owners of neighboring properties and local residents may take action to prevent from obtaining the required permits, approvals, administrative decisions or other rulings by public authorities, including by participating in administrative and court proceedings, challenging decisions, rulings and judgments issued in the course of such proceedings, as well as by disseminating negative and defamatory information regarding Group's investments. In particular, the above actions may significantly delay execution of investment activities, the achievement of expected revenues, and may cause the Group to incur additional costs in connection with its investments.
The materialization of any of the foregoing risks could materially affect development activities and results of operations.
The Group operates in the following four jurisdictions: Poland, Germany, Romania and Austria. As a result, Group needs to appropriately adapt internal regulations, including those related to monitoring and reporting. Any mismanagement of foreign investments or inadequacy of internal regulations could materially adversely affect Group's reputation, business, and financial performance.
As of December 31, 2024, 76% of the Group's portfolio based on fair value was located in Poland and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 85% of rental income was generated by properties located in Poland. As a result of the geographical concentration of the Group's portfolio, performance may be disproportionately affected by negative market developments in Poland. In addition, given the geographic concentration of properties, the outcome of a catastrophic environmental or other event, such as a flood, fire, terrorism or other disaster, could be more severe for the Group compared to a more geographically diversified portfolio of properties.
The Group is exposed to various risks relating to defective construction work or the use or installation of defective construction materials by third-party suppliers or contractors. The construction of new real estate properties involves health, safety and environmental risks. Specifically, building components might contain hazardous substances or the properties could bear other environmental risks. The warranty, guarantee or indemnity protection set forth in contracts with third-party suppliers and contractors, and the arrangements with insurance providers to insure against certain risks may prove to be insufficient or may not adequately protect Group against relevant risks. Furthermore, the Group may not be able to enforce claims in the respective amount, or at all, due to the third-party contractor's or supplier's insolvency, or for other reasons. Significant liabilities may not be identified or may only come to light after the expiry of our warranty, guarantee or indemnity claims. Unexpected levels of expenditure attributable to such construction defects or defective construction materials arising in relation to a development project may adversely affect Group's business, financial position, and results of operation.
The real estate sector is exposed to risks relating to natural disasters and environmental pollutants. This damage could lead to additional costs for us that may not be, in whole or in part, covered by our insurance policies. During construction, there is a risk of water and soil pollution linked to the presence of hydrocarbons, chemicals, and other pollutants. There is also a risk of air pollution due to dust emissions and fine particles. Group's development projects may impact biodiversity due to the loss of vegetation from soil sealing. This could have a negative impact on Group's reputation and increase the risk of litigation. Environmental damage and pollution, whether caused by natural disasters, environmental pollutants or failure of or defects in the technology and equipment used by Group's buildings, or any other factor outside of our control could also prompt a loss of recognitions for certain environmental or health certifications. Any of the foregoing could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A failure to successfully manage the impacts of climate change may leave properties vulnerable to negative effects of changing climate conditions. Group's properties are increasingly exposed to extreme weather conditions which are becoming more frequent and harsher.
Such actual or threatened climate change related damage could increase the cost of, or make unavailable, insurance on favorable terms. The Group may face increased costs of resources such as water, energy, building materials and techniques due to climate change. Further, The Group may also need to comply with more stringent regulatory requirements and respond to higher stakeholder expectations regarding sustainability.
Subject to the restrictions in senior secured loan facilities, the Bonds, and other outstanding debt, the Group may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, some of which could also be secured. In addition, the senior secured loan facilities do not, and the Indenture will not, prohibit the Group from incurring additional debt, including secured debt, or from repurchasing the Notes.
To the extent that the Group incurs additional debt or such other obligations, the risk associated with its debt described above, including possible inability to service debt, will increase.
Furthermore, subject to compliance with the terms of the Notes, additional debt that the Group incurs may be guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries or secured, with the result being that the Notes may be structurally or effectively subordinated to such additional debt. Accordingly, in any insolvency, the creditors under such structurally or effectively senior debt will generally be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of such subsidiary before the Issuer, as such subsidiary's direct or indirect shareholder, will be entitled to receive any distributions from such subsidiary.
One important part of the Group's business is active asset management, which includes managing vacancy rates and rental levels and the terms of leases for all properties, as well as ensuring the desired tenant mix.
In addition to legal restrictions, the Group's ability to lease vacant space, renegotiate rents and achieve the desired tenant mix depends on market factors.
Some of these factors, such as the general economic environment, consumer confidence, inflation and interest rates are beyond the Group's control. During recessions or economic downturns, competition between investors and developers makes it more difficult to retain existing tenants and attract new ones. If the Group is unable to generate or capitalize on demand for its properties, it may not be possible to reduce vacancy rates or renegotiate rents in a favorable manner.
If high vacancy rates persist for an extended period of time, this could result in an overall reduction in the rents paid by tenants, making it much more difficult to increase the average rental rates in accordance with our plans. Vacant space also results in an increase in overall operating costs, due to the need to cover costs generated by empty properties. Any such decrease in rental income or increase in operating expenses could have a material adverse effect on Group's financial position and results.
The Group is exposed to risks associated with the development, acquisition, ownership and management of properties in the commercial property market.
A number of factors may affect the revenue generated and the value of our properties, including:
(i) changes in laws and administrative regulations relating to real estate, including those relating to obtaining permits or approvals, determining land use, taxes and other public charges;
(ii) cyclical changes in the real estate markets in which the Group operate;
(iii) ability to procure appropriate construction, management, maintenance, and property security services.
A general downturn in the property market may have a negative impact on the Group's performance in terms of income generated from the rental of warehouse space. If tenants default on their obligations or if there are no tenants, the Group will not earn rental income while incurring costs associated with the property. These costs may include but are not limited to: legal and valuation costs, maintenance costs, insurance, and local property taxes. The level of achievable rent as well as market price of a property are, in principle, dependent on the economic situation. Consequently, a fall in the level of market prices may result in rent levels that are different from projections and lead to losses within a project or the need to find alternative uses for land purchased for development.
The occurrence of any of the risk factors discussed above could have a significant negative impact on the Group's operations, financial position, results, and development prospects.
As part of operations and in managing assets, the Group is required to obtain numerous permits, arrangements, approvals, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities including permits for the construction and use of its investment properties. Further approvals and permits with respect to, among others, density, site planning and protection of the environment may also be required. Obtaining such permits and approvals may be time consuming and is often, in particular with regard to land use plans (including the implementation of new zoning plans for our projects), subject to the discretion of the local authorities and may require significant resources.
The Group cannot assure that all such permits, arrangements, approvals, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities in connection with existing properties or new investments will be obtained in a timely manner, or that they will be obtained at all, or that permits, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities held now or obtained in the future will not expire, be revoked or cancelled, or that their validity will be extended in a timely manner.
In addition, public administration authorities may make the issuance of certain administrative decisions or other rulings subject to compliance with certain additional conditions (including, for example, provision of appropriate infrastructure) or obligations, which may involve additional costs and prolong the proceedings, resulting in a temporary inability to generate revenue.
In addition, the Group may seek to make changes to some of projects or facilities, as well as changes to the use of the properties so as to use them more efficiently or in line with trends in the property market at the time. It may not be possible to implement such changes, due to difficulties in obtaining or amending the required permits, approvals, administrative decisions or other rulings by public administration authorities, particularly in the case of properties entered in the register of historic buildings.
The Group's ability to obtain the permits required to realize development projects is dependent on ability to meet the relevant regulatory and planning requirements. The Group own property in numerous geographies and may therefore need to meet different requirements for each geography while being subject to various authorities' discretion in granting such permits. The Group's progress in development activities is highly dependent on the decisions of such local authorities, and this process is often uncertain and political, and may require significant efforts in order to secure the necessary approvals. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be received, or that they will be received in a timely manner or without unfavorable provisions and/or conditions. Planning regulations and permits could also be challenged within the relevant statutory period, which could eventually lead to delays in the realization or even in completion of a particular development project.
In addition, social and environmental organizations, as well as owners of neighboring properties and local residents may take action to prevent from obtaining the required permits, approvals, administrative decisions or other rulings by public authorities, including by participating in administrative and court proceedings, challenging decisions, rulings and judgments issued in the course of such proceedings, as well as by disseminating negative and defamatory information regarding Group's investments. In particular, the above actions may significantly delay execution of investment activities, the achievement of expected revenues, and may cause the Group to incur additional costs in connection with its investments.
The materialization of any of the foregoing risks could materially affect development activities and results of operations.
The efficiency and scale of the Group's operations depend on the supply of suitable land properties for development, the price level of these properties, and their legal status. The Group's ability to secure land for development projects in attractive locations depends on several factors, including the efficiency of operations, as well as on objective factors within the market environment, such as strong competition in the land market, the length of time required to change the legal purpose of land and limited supply of land with appropriate infrastructure.
Land prices are indirectly influenced by the demand for the rental of warehouse, manufacturing and office space, as well as the macroeconomic situation, the availability of financing, the supply of warehouse, manufacturing and office space in a given area, and tenants' expectations regarding standard and location of the properties. An increase in future land prices may also adversely affect the competitiveness and profitability of the Group's new developments. Conversely, a decline in the value of land may result in lower valuations of the Group's investment properties and may adversely affect the competitiveness, profitability and valuation of some of existing projects.
In addition, an inability to identify and acquire land for development projects at economically feasible prices could materially impact Group's business, financial position, and results of operations.
The development and management of real estate properties are subject to risks caused by, including, the condition of the real estate property, the inaccurate assessment of any of the investments, unfavorable financing conditions, and changes in the legislative and regulatory environment or any other factor, including those beyond the Group's control.
We may not be able to identify all material risks in connection with the due diligence processes that the Group conduct prior to an acquisition. The Group may also not be able to assess whether the original owner of an acquisition target or any potential successor has obtained, maintained or renewed all required permits, satisfied all permit conditions and obtained all necessary licenses.Any acquisition target may suffer from hidden defects or damages that we were not able to discover in the course of the acquisition process. Consequently, there can be no assurance that all risks related to the acquisition of real estate properties have been identified, evaluated and addressed accordingly. The Group's ability to identify and evaluate all risks relating to the unrestricted ownership title to real estate properties and third-party rights relating to acquisition targets may also be limited in certain instances. Legal, tax and/or economic liabilities may be, or may have been, insufficiently or inaccurately evaluated.
In addition, the representations and warranties we receive from sellers in the sale and purchase agreements for such acquisitions may not cover all risks or fail to cover known and existing risks sufficiently. Additionally, warranties may be or become unenforceable. In some cases, a seller may refuse to make any representation or warranty as to risks associated with the acquisition or make no representation or warranty as to the sufficiency and correctness of the information made available in the context of a due diligence investigation. Due to the high competition for attractive land plots or buildings suitable for development projects, the Group may has to accept purchase agreements with very limited or even no representations and warranties.
Furthermore, the Group may overestimate the earnings potential and potential synergies from acquisitions, as well as underestimate the rental and cost risks, including expected demand from tenants for the respective property and expected capital expenditures for developing, maintaining or modernizing the property, and consequently pay a purchase price that exceeds a property's actual value. In addition, properties could be inaccurately appraised, even if they were acquired on the basis of valuation reports by reputable independent appraisers and due diligence investigations. Therefore, neither a particular cash flow from rentals, nor a certain retail price can be guaranteed with respect to acquired properties.
The realization of any risk described above could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The success of the Group's business depends on a large extent on executives, who have the knowledge and experience in running the business of developing, leasing and operating warehouse and manufacturing centers. The current members of management have substantial experience in the real estate industry and/or have held other key senior management positions and have gained expertise that is particularly necessary to run and develop our business with respect to the search for and acquisition of both new locations for investments and tenants with an established position in the market, as well as the construction, marketing and management of logistics parks. In the event of departure of one or more of these key personnel, the Group may not be able to replace them with suitable successors, which could affect operational and financial results.
Any unanticipated changes in key personnel may also be disruptive to our business operations, and growth strategy may require hiring of additional qualified employees. In addition, these factors may adversely affect Group's ability to further develop its business or even to complete projects already underway.
The owners and operators of real estate in the Group's jurisdictions are subject to strict environmental laws that require them to comply with current and future environmental standards and to prevent and remediate any contamination or damage. According to the applicable legislation, the entity using the environment is obliged to take preventive and remedial measures to prevent or eliminate environmental damage. In addition, if an imminent threat of environmental damage or environmental damage has been caused with the consent or knowledge of the landowner, the landowner is obliged to take preventive and remedial measures jointly and severally with the entity using the environment that caused it.
In addition, to develop projects, the Group must obtain a number of environmental approvals and permits, including waste management and water permits, and pay environmental fees. The Group properties may be affected by environmental issues that could expose Group to liabilities and put us at risk of non-compliance with our obligations under existing permits. The Group also may be exposed to damage as a consequence of sudden and unforeseen environmental pollution caused by events related to infrastructural development or caused by forces of nature.
The Group has complied with all environmental protection requirements stipulated by the applicable legislation, and the tenants of warehouse and manufacturing spaces have not conducted or are not conducting activities harmful to the environment within the meaning of environmental protection regulations. However, the Group may be required to pay damages, administrative fines or incur remediation costs resulting from environmental pollution on its land or on land the Group's acquires in the future.
If the relevant authorities discover violations of applicable environmental laws, the Group may be subject to fines and other penalties. Any of the foregoing could have a negative impact on Group's reputation, financial position, and results of operations.
The Group's operations are subject to several laws and regulations. Changes to applicable laws, could have a significant impact on the Group's business and its financial results. The entry into force of a new, economically significant regulation may directly cause significant changes in the commercial real estate market through a significant rise in project costs or a change in agreements with purchasers or tenants.
Local zoning laws are subject to change and may interfere with the intended use of the Group's properties. In addition, the enactment of any new law or regulation that is open to conflicting interpretations may give rise to uncertainty as to the current legal status, which may in turn lead to the temporary suspension of projects for fear of possible adverse consequences of the ambiguous laws or regulations. The above factors may have a material adverse effect on Group's business, financial position, and results of operations.
The Polish tax system is characterized by a lack of stability. At the same time, the interpretation of the regulations themselves by the tax authorities and administrative courts is also subject to significant changes, which may have negative consequences for entities adhering to known previous interpretations of these regulations. The Group also has operations in Romania, Germany and Austria. Tax laws are changed frequently, many times to the disadvantage of taxpayers. The interpretation of the rules may also be subject to similar changes. Frequent changes in the law governing the taxation of business activities and divergent interpretations and variability of such interpretations in the application of tax laws by the tax authorities may prove detrimental to the Group's business and results of operations.
Attracting good tenants, especially anchor tenants is crucial to ensuring commercial success. Key tenants play an important role in generating further growth of the logistics park segment. The Group may face difficulties in securing tenants during periods of economic downturn.
In addition, the termination of a lease agreement by any of the key tenants may adversely affect the attractiveness of the park. If a tenant defaults on its lease agreement, is declared bankrupt or restructuring proceedings are initiated against it, there may be a delay in rent payments or a decline in rental income, the effects of which Group may not be able to offset.
Furthermore, new developments or trends in the market standard of commercial real estate could result in decreasing demand if such properties do not meet such new requirements. Any extension or change to the property may lead to additional unforeseen costs and expenses.
In addition, when existing lease agreements expire, the Group may not be able to release its commercial properties immediately, and it may take time to locate and secure a successor tenant for such space or property, which could have a negative effect on its business, financial position and results of operations. In extreme cases, long-term vacancies may occur. The economic success of the Group's business depends significantly on its ability to generate rental income from the lease of properties to suitable tenants. Tenants may fail to meet their rental obligations for a plethora of reasons, including a change in financial position. Adverse developments of any of the foregoing factors may lead to tenants' inability to meet their obligations under their lease agreements. The materialization of this risk may lead to a significant deterioration in the Group's rental income, and by extension, its financial position and results of operations.
The Group leases warehouse and manufacturing space to entrepreneurs conducting various types of business activities on the premises. In their lease agreements, tenants undertake third-party liability insurance on account of conducting business activities on the properties; nevertheless, an injured person may be unable to pursue compensation claims against the tenants for damages arising in connection with their business activities, in particular business activities that may cause environmental damage or damage resulting from faulty construction of the warehouse facilities. Such a situation could give rise to civil claims against Group as ownerof the land and facilities where the activities giving rise to third-party damage are carried out.
In connection with the lease agreements concluded with prospective tenants, the Group undertakes to connect the constructed properties to the utilities necessary for the tenants' operations. In turn, tenants pay for all services related to the use of the facilities, including fees for, among other things, electricity and gas consumption, central heating, cold and hot water, sewage disposal, and waste disposal.
All logistics parks have secured access to utilities adequate to meet the tenants' current demand, and properties purchased by the Group can be connected to utilities of a similar type. However, due to an increase in the demand for utilities, the current capacities may prove insufficient in the future or the projected capacities of new investments may be underestimated. Any resulting shortfall in utility volumes may have a negative impact on Group's operations, financial position or results.
When purchasing land for new investments, an analysis of the terrain is carried out. However, due to the limited scope of this analysis and the possibility of the occurrence of ground features that are difficult to identify, there may be unforeseen difficulties during the development of the project, which may result in delays and increased costs of site preparation for construction. Adverse ground conditions may result from, among other things, high groundwater levels, instability of lower ground, environmental contamination and archaeological finds. The occurrence of such situations may adversely affect Group's operations and financial performance.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Polish Civil Code, a contractor of construction works commissioned by an investor to carry out a development project may at any time demand from the investor a payment guarantee in the form provided for by the Polish Civil Code, up to the amount of any claim for remuneration under the contract and additional works or works necessary for the performance of the contract accepted in writing by the investor. The right to demand a payment guarantee may not be excluded or limited by a legal act, and a withdrawal from the contract caused by a demand for a payment guarantee shall be ineffective. The request for a guarantee may entail costs for us, and the absence of the requested payment guarantee constitutes an obstacle to the execution of the works for reasons attributable to us. This in turn would entitle the contractor to demand remuneration under the rules specified in the Polish Civil Code, which may increase costs and delay the execution of projects and thus have a negative impact on our operations, financial position, or results.
The Group activities include the leasing of warehouse halls in storage and manufacturing centers. In the event that the halls are not completed on time or are damaged, Group may be obligated to pay contractual penalties, and risk tenants withdrawing from their leases or additional claims. In such circumstances, it may be required to make payments in connection with the termination of leases or to settle payments due under such leases. The occurrence of any of the events described above could have a material adverse effect on Group's operations, financial position, or results.
Prior to the construction of warehouse and manufacturing facilities, the Group enters into certain lease agreements with future tenants. In connection with these agreements, prospective tenants undertake to use the facilities which are going to be constructed in the future, for a fee, from the time agreed in the lease agreement. Such leases may expire or be subject to non-performance, for instance, due to insolvency, loss of creditworthiness or withdrawal by the tenants. The termination or non-performance of lease agreements by existing tenants may lead to the deterioration of Group's tenant portfolio and have a significant negative impact on its operations and results.
The attractiveness of rental properties in logistics parks depends not only on their location, but also on the condition in which they are kept. In order to maintain the attractiveness and profitability of the properties in the long term, the properties must be kept in good condition and sometimes may need to be upgraded to meet ever-changing market demands. In addition, the Group may be required from time to time to incur costs to undertake various maintenance and modernization measures to meet changing legal, environmental or market requirements, particularly with regard to health and safety requirements and fire protection. Any failure to maintain the properties could also pose a risk to the health and safety of our tenants as well as their employees, which in turn could cause the Group to be liable for any damages.
Maintenance, renovation and modernization measures may also lead to properties remaining vacant, at least temporarily, thereby leading to decreased rental income, especially if such measures take longer than expected.
While the Group anticipates that its properties may only require periodic maintenance for years following completion, the period of time between modernization measures may decrease in the future, due to applicable legal and regulatory requirements or tenants' increasing demand for modern, up-to-date infrastructure. The maintenance or upgrading of these properties will require significant financial expenditure.
If the actual costs of maintaining or upgrading such properties were to exceed the costs anticipated, or if, in the course of maintenance or upgrading work, the existence of latent defects not covered by insurance or a guarantee or warranty for the work performed were to be discovered, or if the Group is unable to increase rental rates in light of the legislation in force at the time or the provisions of the relevant leases, the Group will be forced to incur additional expenditure on the properties. The occurrence of the above-mentioned factors could have a material adverse effect on Group's business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The global economy is characterized by volatility, uncertainty and declining growth. Rising inflation as a result of, among other things, supply-chain disruptions and Russia's aggression in Ukraine have prompted the European Central Bank as well as central banks in Poland and Romania to raise interest rate levels. A further rise in interest rates in Europe may increase Group's borrowing costs under the financial liabilities and thus affect its profitability.
In managing and maintaining property holdings, The Group is subject to the risk that operating, energy, heating, insurance and other property maintenance costs could rise and that such costs cannot or can only in part be transferred to tenants. This can be triggered, for example, by the imposition of new and/or higher land taxes and other statutory contributions, changes in laws, regulations, and government measures (including those concerning health and safety as well as environmental protection), a rise in the inflation rate, higher energy prices, an increase in insurance premiums or an increase in maintenance and repair costs or capital expenditure for properties. Each of the aforementioned factors could reduce Group's profitability in the absence of a simultaneous rise in rental income or recharge of utility costs and service charges by tenants, or due to exhausted net rent potential. This in turn could have material adverse effects on Group's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There is no guarantee that title to any of Group's properties will not be challenged or impaired. Third parties may have valid claims underlying portions of interests, including prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. As a result, Group may be constrained in ability to operate its properties or unable to enforce rights with respect to Group's properties. An impairment to, or defect in, title to Group's properties could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The Group is exposed to various risks relating to defective construction work or the use or installation of defective construction materials by third-party suppliers or contractors. The construction of new real estate properties involves health, safety and environmental risks. Specifically, building components might contain hazardous substances or the properties could bear other environmental risks. The warranty, guarantee or indemnity protection set forth in contracts with third-party suppliers and contractors, and the arrangements with insurance providers to insure against certain risks may prove to be insufficient or may not adequately protect Group against relevant risks. Furthermore, the Group may not be able to enforce claims in the respective amount, or at all, due to the third-party contractor's or supplier's insolvency, or for other reasons. Significant liabilities may not be identified or may only come to light after the expiry of our warranty, guarantee or indemnity claims. Unexpected levels of expenditure attributable to such construction defects or defective construction materials arising in relation to a development project may adversely affect Group's business, financial position, and results of operation.
The real estate sector is exposed to risks relating to natural disasters and environmental pollutants. This damage could lead to additional costs for us that may not be, in whole or in part, covered by our insurance policies. During construction, there is a risk of water and soil pollution linked to the presence of hydrocarbons, chemicals, and other pollutants. There is also a risk of air pollution due to dust emissions and fine particles. Group's development projects may impact biodiversity due to the loss of vegetation from soil sealing. This could have a negative impact on Group's reputation and increase the risk of litigation. Environmental damage and pollution, whether caused by natural disasters, environmental pollutants or failure of or defects in the technology and equipment used by Group's buildings, or any other factor outside of our control could also prompt a loss of recognitions for certain environmental or health certifications. Any of the foregoing could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A failure to successfully manage the impacts of climate change may leave properties vulnerable to negative effects of changing climate conditions. Group's properties are increasingly exposed to extreme weather conditions which are becoming more frequent and harsher.
Such actual or threatened climate change related damage could increase the cost of, or make unavailable, insurance on favorable terms. The Group may face increased costs of resources such as water, energy, building materials and techniques due to climate change. Further, The Group may also need to comply with more stringent regulatory requirements and respond to higher stakeholder expectations regarding sustainability.
In recent years, there has been an increased focus from investors, governmental and nongovernmental entities, and the public on ESG matters, including greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, packaging and waste, practices related to sustainable supply chain, energy and water use, diversity, equity and inclusion, human rights and social commitment. A variety of organizations evaluate, and measure the performance of, companies on such ESG matters, and the results of these assessments are widely publicized. If Group's ESG practices do not meet investor, tenant, or employee expectations, which continue to evolve, our brand, reputation, and tenant and employee retention may be negatively impacted.
The execution of ESG strategies to achieve goals, commitments, and targets are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which may be outside of control and prove to be more costly than Group anticipate.
These risks and uncertainties include ability to achieve goals, commitments, and targets within the currently projected costs and the expected timeframes; unforeseen operational and technological difficulties; the outcome of research efforts and future technology developments; and the success of collaborations with third parties. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with ESG reporting, ESG practices or speed of adoption.
The Group could also incur additional costs and devote additional resources to monitor, report, and implement various ESG practices. Any failure, or perceived failure, to achieve ESG goals, commitments, and targets could damage Group's reputation and tenant, investor and other stakeholder relationships, and may even result in regulatory enforcement action.
Certain acquisitions or sales of property may be rendered void under applicable local law provisions as a result of insolvency, fraud, lack of consideration, gross undervaluation, avoidance of creditors, defrauding of creditors or as a result of other technical requirements in the conveyance of property. Further, there may be a risk of legal disputes with neighboring landowners, architects, project managers and suppliers, with respect to Group's refurbishment/construction projects. In addition, there can be no assurance that all permits necessary to legally own, develop or operate the properties have been obtained in compliance with all applicable laws. While the Group conduct detailed due diligence to identify any issues related to such permits and take all steps necessary to remedy any defects, there can be no assurance that this can be achieved on time and that regulators will not impose the suspension of the relevant properties' operation. If ownership interests over property or permits are successfully challenged, this could have a material adverse effect on Group's business, prospects, results of current and future operations, as well as financial condition.
In the event that contract clauses prove to be invalid, the use of standardized contracts could lead to claims against the Group from numerous contracts to a loss of receivables, or to increases expenses.
The Group uses standardized contracts in the ordinary course of business in contractual relationships with a large number of parties, in particular with tenants. A lack of clarity or any errors in these model contracts could therefore impact numerous contractual relationships. Changes in the legal environment affecting existing contracts could also impact numerous contractual relationships. Moreover, contracts seemingly signed as individual agreements could be considered general terms and conditions of business and, if violations of the applicable regulations were to occur, could be invalid or eligible for termination. Such developments could result in Group being forced to bear costs or could subject to large claims or cause us to suffer a loss of receivables.
Group's business is exposed to the risk of non-compliance with building codes or environmental regulations. There can be no assurance that all building codes or environmental regulation were, or are, complied with for all of our real estate properties. The Group may acquire real estate properties that are, at the time of the acquisition, not in compliance with environmental regulations, which remain undiscovered during the acquisition process. There can be no assurance that landlord responsibilities relating to environmental regulations, including, among others, environmental protection and energy efficiency, will not be amended or tightened in the future. Any measures utilized to adapt to future regulations could require capital-intensive modernization measures, which, in turn, may depend on the grant of building permits, issued by relevant building authorities. Subsequently, the Group may not comply with applicable building codes or environmental regulations and ultimately be in violation thereof.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Group may, from time to time, become involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations, arbitration or administrative proceedings, which may involve substantial claims for damages or other payments. Such lawsuits, investigations or proceedings may arise, in particular, from relationships with investors, tenants, employees, building contractors and other contractual counterparties as well as public authorities, including tax authorities. Adverse judgments or determinations in such lawsuits, investigations or proceedings may require the Group to change the way we do business or use substantial resources in adhering to settlements or pay fines or other penalties. In addition, the costs related to such proceedings may be significant and, even if there is a positive outcome, we may still have to bear part or all of advisory and other costs to the extent they are not reimbursable by other parties.
Subject to the restrictions in senior secured loan facilities, the Bonds, and other outstanding debt, the Group may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, some of which could also be secured. In addition, the senior secured loan facilities do not, and the Indenture will not, prohibit the Group from incurring additional debt, including secured debt, or from repurchasing the Notes.
To the extent that the Group incurs additional debt or such other obligations, the risk associated with its debt described above, including possible inability to service debt, will increase.
Furthermore, subject to compliance with the terms of the Notes, additional debt that the Group incurs may be guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries or secured, with the result being that the Notes may be structurally or effectively subordinated to such additional debt. Accordingly, in any insolvency, the creditors under such structurally or effectively senior debt will generally be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of such subsidiary before the Issuer, as such subsidiary's direct or indirect shareholder, will be entitled to receive any distributions from such subsidiary.
The Group's ability to make scheduled payments to meet its other debt service obligations or to refinance its debt depends on its future operating and financial performance and ability to generate cash. The Issuer is dependent upon the cash flow from its operating subsidiaries in the form of dividends or other distributions or payments to meet its obligations, including the obligations under the Notes.
The operating performance and financial condition of such operating subsidiaries and the ability of such subsidiaries to provide funds to the Issuer will be affected by Group's ability to successfully implement its business strategy, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, technical and other factors beyond its control. The operating subsidiaries may not generate enough income and cash flow sufficient to enable the Group to meet its payment obligations under the Notes.
If the Group cannot generate sufficient cash to meet its debt service obligations, including the Notes, or fund our other business needs, the Group may, among other things, need to refinance all or a portion of its debt, including the Notes, obtain additional financing, delay planned acquisitions, capital expenditures and capital allocation or sell assets.
The senior secured loan facilities, the Existing Polish Bonds and other outstanding debt agreements limit, and the Indenture will limit, Group's flexibility to operate its business and engage in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to the Group. For example, certain of these agreements restrict the Issuer's ability to, among other things:
All of these limitations currently are and will be subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. The Group's senior secured loans and existing Polish bonds also require that certain financial ratios be met and certain financial covenants be observed. For example, the Issuer is required to maintain a minimum capital ratio of 35% under the Existing Polish Bonds.
Furthermore, borrowers certain of Group's senior secured loan facilities are required to maintain a minimum DSCR of 1.2. The Group's ability to comply with these covenants and ratios and to meet these tests is dependent on its future performance, which will be subject to many factors, some of which are beyond the Group's control, including prevailing economic conditions. Group's failure to comply with these obligations could lead to a default under the senior secured loan facilities or the Existing Polish Bonds unless Group can obtain waivers or consents in respect of any breaches of these obligations under these credit facilities. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in the senior
secured loan facilities, the Existing Polish Bonds, the Indenture and certain of Group's other debt agreements may adversely affect ability to finance its future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in its interest. In addition to limiting Group's flexibility in operating its business, a breach of the covenants in the senior secured loan facilities, the Notes or the inability to comply with the required financial ratios could cause a default under the terms of each of those agreements, causing all the debt under those agreements to be accelerated. If any of the Group's debt is accelerated, Group may not have sufficient funds available to repay such debt, which could materially and negatively affect its financial condition and results of operation and, consequently, its ability to service, or otherwise make payments on, the Notes.
The terms of the Green Bond will provide that if, at any time following the date of the issuance date, the Issuer receives any two of the following ratings (a) Baa3 or higher by Moody's, (b) BBB- or higher from S&P or (c) BBB- or higher from Fitch, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, beginning on that day, certain covenants will cease to be applicable to the Notes. Please see "Description of the Notes— Suspension of certain covenants when Notes rated investment grade."
If these covenants were to cease to be applicable, the Group would be able to incur additional indebtedness or make payments, including dividends or investments, which may conflict with the interests of holders of the Notes.
The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to drive operational growth and enhance value by implementing prudent capital management strategies and maintaining secure equity ratios that support the Group's operations and maximise shareholder value.
Capital corresponds to the equity presented in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Management Board seeks to secure a strong capital structure to maintain the trust and confidence of investors, lenders and the broad market, and to maintain the Group's further growth.
The Management Board analyses the equity ratio, which is defined as total equity divided by total assets. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Series C, Series D, Series E and Series F bonds, the equity ratio may not be less than 35%.
The Management Board monitors return on capital, defined as operating profit divided by equity (the sum total of share capital and share premium), excluding non-redeemable preferred shares and non-controlling interests. The Management Board also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Group monitors its capital position using the leverage ratio, calculated as the ratio of gross debt, net of cash and deposits, to the value of property investments. The Group's long-term strategy is to maintain the LTV (loan-to-value ratio) at no more than 40%.
There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the reporting period.
Neither the Parent nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to external capital requirements.
The primary and sole business activity of the Group is construction and management of logistics space. The Group's revenue is derived from renting of own property and from property revaluation. None of the customers' accounts for 10% or more of the Group's revenue.
Investment property comprises properties generating rental income (existing buildings), construction in progress, land for development, and perpetual usufruct of land.
The Group's focus is on the warehousing sector.
The Group operates in Poland, and abroad: since April 2017 in Germany, since October 2017 in Romania, and since October 2020 in Austria. Locations of the Group's assets coincide with the location of its customers. Operating segments are the same as the Group's geographical segments.
As at 31 December 2024 and in the reporting period then ended the Group had four geographical segments – Poland, Germany, Romania and Austria.
The Management Board is the chief operating decision-maker within the Group.

| Rental income | 214,802 | 200,874 | |
| Rental income | 214,802 | 200,874 |
Rental income increased by 7% in the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 relative to corresponding period in 2023. Rent in contracts entered into by the Group companies is either stated or denominated in euros. Therefore, excluding the effect of foreign exchange losses, revenue in the euro grew by 13% in the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Converted at a constant exchange rate (the same as for the 12 months ended 31 December 2023), rental income for the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 would amount to PLN 225,991 thousand.
The Group companies' rental income does not exhibit seasonal fluctuations.
The Group's principal business activity is leasing properties to tenants, with the Group acting as the lessor. The Group has entered into lease contracts for properties within its portfolio. Lease contracts under which the Group does not transfer substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases.
The Group recognises rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, reflecting the average rent over the lease duration.
Commercial property lease contracts typically include clauses permitting periodic increases in rental charges based on the European Consumer Price Index.

| Other revenue | 755 | 603 |
| Revenue from property management services | 157,619 | 159,886 |
The Group also generates revenue from property management services.
This revenue consists of charges paid by tenants of the Group's investment properties to cover the costs of services provided by the Group in connection with their leases. Service charges are invoiced monthly, based on a rate agreed upon in the contract, reflecting the best estimate for each project. Additionally, the Group earns income by recharging utility costs to tenants, which are recharged based on actual consumption. Such income is recognised in accordance with IFRS 15.
The Group recognises revenue from property management services primarily as revenue from acting as a principal. This means that for the purposes of financial statements, such costs are recognised on a gross basis since the Group acts as a principal that controls goods or services before they are transferred to the customer.
In the operations of the Group companies, the primary costs of property management services, and therefore the revenue from these services, do not exhibit seasonality, with the exception of the cost of purchased gas (and, consequently, income from recharging utility costs). Gas is used by the Group's tenants mainly in the heating season.

In 2024, distribution costs and administrative expenses were PLN 190,519 thousand, up 11% year on year. They grew faster than revenue from property management services. Distribution costs and administrative expenses include mainly: (i) costs of consumables and energy used, (ii) services, (iii) taxes and charges. The costs of consumables and energy used include the cost of utilities that are recharged to tenants. The main components of taxes and charges are property tax and usufruct charges, which are also recharged to tenants. Services include two cost groups: (i) property maintenance services, recharged to tenants, (ii) and services recognised as administrative expenses.

| Selling, general and administrative expenses | (45,649) | (34,555) |
| Distribution costs and administrative expenses | (190,519) | (171,487) |
The higher costs of maintenance of property, including property generating income and other property, were due mainly to an increase in property tax rates and in the volumes of buildings and land based on which property tax is calculated.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the creation of a provision for variable remuneration of the Management Board (financial targets were not met for 2023 and no provision was recognised), as well as an increase in salaries and wages and service fees.

* In the financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 December 2023, the amount disclosed as interest expense on borrowings was offset against income from fixed-rate hedging derivatives.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are mainly attributable to the effect of measurement of liabilities under EURdenominated borrowings at the end of the reporting period. In the period from 31 December 2023 to 31 December 2024, the Polish currency depreciated by PLN 0.75, or 1.76%. As a result of the appreciation of the złoty against the euro, foreign exchange gains of PLN 24,580 thousand were recognised, which had an effect on the Group's net finance income/(costs).
In accordance with Polish laws, in 2024 and 2023, consolidated entities calculated their corporate income tax liabilities at 9% or 19% of taxable income. The lower tax rate was applicable to small taxpayers.
The following tax rates were applied in 2024 and 2023 by the Group's foreign operations to calculate current income tax liabilities: in Germany: 15.825%, in Romania: 16%, and in Austria: 23%.

Tax laws relating to value added tax, corporate and personal income tax, and social security contributions are frequently amended. Therefore, it is often the case that no reference can be made to established regulations or legal precedents. The laws tend to be unclear, thus leading to differences in opinions as to legal interpretation of fiscal regulations, both between different state authorities and between state authorities and businesses. Tax and other settlements (customs duties or foreign exchange settlements) may be inspected by authorities empowered to impose significant penalties, and any additional amounts assessed following an inspection must be paid with interest. Consequently, tax risk in Poland is higher than in countries with more mature tax systems.
The Group also operates in Romania, Germany, and Austria. Especially in Romania, the tax laws have undergone significant changes in recent years.
The frequent changes to tax laws are also attributable to the adoption of new regulations required by the EU law in the countries where the Group operates and commitments made by OECD member countries.
Tax settlements may be subject to inspection for five years from the end of the following tax year. As a result, the amounts disclosed in the financial statements may change at a later date, once their final amount is determined by the tax authorities.
The Global Minimum Tax (Pillar 2) framework will apply to groups of companies with consolidated annual revenues of at least EUR 750 million. Accordingly, the Group is not subject to these regulations. As of 1 January 2024, the minimum corporate income tax provisions, previously suspended, took effect again. The Group calculated the tax for the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 and did not identify any material effect on its current tax amount.

** In the consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 December 2023, the pipeline portfolio and landbank were disclosed together as landbank.
The fair value of investment property was calculated based on expert reports issued by independent expert appraisers, with recognised professional qualifications and with experience in investment property valuation (based on inputs that are not directly observable – Level 3).
Property valuations have been prepared in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Standards. They comply with the International Valuation Standards (IVS) as published by the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC).
For the valuation of existing buildings and construction in progress in the Polish portfolio, the external property appraisers applied either the Hardcore or the Term and Reversion technique, based on their professional judgement.
In the Hardcore technique (also known as the layer method, based on a horizontal split of rental income into "layers"), two main income layers are considered in the valuation:
the 'hardcore' (lower-risk) layer: income actually earned on the property, which is at or below market levels,
the 'top slice' (higher-risk) layer: any excess income generated by the property above the market levels.
In this technique, the value of property represents the sum of capitalised hardcore income and top slice income. The capitalised value of hardcore income is calculated using the traditional simple capitalisation method.
The capitalised value of top slice income is calculated as the difference between the income actually generated by the property on the valuation date, and the potential income thar can be earned from the property on the market, capitalised over the period from the valuation date to the end of the term of the lease that guarantees income above market levels.
This technique is typically used for properties where rental income exceeds (or in some cases, is equal to) market rent.
The valuation accounts for, where appropriate, the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting obligations under the lease contracts, or likely to be in occupation after vacant space is leased, and the market's general perception of their creditworthiness; the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the lessor and lessee; and the remaining economic life of the property. In accordance with the hardcore valuation method, the fair value of the property is higher when the rent rate is higher and the yield is lower.
The Term and Reversion technique (block approach, based on a 'vertical' split of income) involves consideration of income from property over two periods:
the term of the existing lease contract: the 'term' part of the valuation, based on income earned during the existing lease period,
period after the current lease expires: the 'reversion' part of the valuation, based on potential income after the end of the lease term (market rent rates as at the valuation date).
The Term & Reversion technique is typically opted for when the rent rates in the two periods differ.
Due to differences in risk levels, in the majority of cases it may be justified to apply different yields in the capitalisation of income for the period corresponding to the 'contract block' and the period corresponding to the 'market block'.
When using the Term & Reversion technique, the market value of the property is calculated by capitalising net operating income (NOI) generated by the property on the valuation date over the period corresponding only to the 'contract block'. The result is then increased by the amount of rental income in the period corresponding to the 'market block', which is capitalised over a perpetuity at a market yield and discounted to its present value as at the valuation date.
The value of the existing buildings in Romania and Germany was calculated by the appraisers using the discounted cash flow method. This approach discounts expected future income streams and residual value to estimate the present value of the property. The DCF method makes it possible to explicitly reflect valuation parameters over a selected time horizon, and typically involves two stages:
detailed cash flow projections for a defined period,
calculation of the terminal value.
In the detailed cash flow projection period (typically 10 years), all costs associated with the property for each year are deducted from the expected income (gross rental income) to arrive at the net cash flow (net operating income) from the property for that year. The calculations account for various factors, including rent changes, costs of repair and maintenance, costs of management,
running costs borne by the lessor, re-letting costs, and capital costs. The net operating income for each year is then discounted to the valuation date at a selected discount rate, monthly in advance. Inflation rate and rent growth expectations are taken into account during the detailed cash flow projection period, and therefore are not reflected in the cash flow forecast and the discount rate applied.
At the end of the detailed cash flow projection period, the property value is estimated using the income capitalisation method.
The income capitalisation method involves capitalising stabilised net rental income at an appropriate capitalisation rate over a perpetuity. After deducting acquisition costs, the net terminal value is then discounted to the valuation date at the DCF discount rate. The income capitalisation method is a static approach, providing a 'snapshot' calculation with only implicit consideration of rent growth or cost changes over time. The effects of rent changes, ageing building structure, and other market or financial factors are implicitly taken into account in the applied capitalisation rate (yield).
The terminal value is based on the stabilised net rental income. From this income, inflation-adjusted costs of ongoing maintenance and management, as well as other running costs, are deducted. After capitalising the resulting stabilised net rental income, the relevant acquisition costs are deducted from the gross terminal value as follows:
transfer tax on the transfer of land, at a rate depending on the location of the property,
costs of agent services,
costs of notary public's services and other legal costs, depending on the level of value.
The residual method of property valuation is applied for investment properties under construction. In this method, the property value is estimated based on its development value (i.e. on completion of the development project) using the income/market approach, taking into account the development budget, including the developer's profit. Development costs include total construction costs, including fit-out costs, professional fees, financing costs and the developer's profit. In accordance with the valuation method, the higher the rent rate is, the higher the fair value of the property; the lower the yield rate – the higher the fair value of the property is, and the higher the estimated construction costs – the lower the fair value of the property.
The valuation of the pipeline portfolio is based on a development appraisal to assess the potential value (Gross Development Value) of a project once it is fully completed and leased/sold in its currently proposed form. From this Gross Developer Value, the appraisers deducted the project expenditure, including hard costs, soft costs, financing costs, and the developer's profit, to reflect the required level of return to the developer and to account for the project's risk. In assessing the Gross Development Value, the appraisers used a market approach, estimating the market rents for the space to be constructed as well as the appropriate capitalisation rate that would be required by a potential investor, in order to form an opinion on the market value of the completed and leased building.
For valuing the landbank, the appraisers use the sale comparison approach, where the probable value of property (land) is established using data from recent sale transactions involving similar assets.
This method determines the value of sites by comparing them against the selling prices of similar properties. The selling prices of properties that are considered the most comparable provide a range within which the value of the property being valued is likely to fall. The degree of similarity or difference between the property subject to valuation and comparable sale transactions was estimated, taking into account various elements of comparison. Then, percentage adjustments were applied to the selling prices of comparable properties, as the prices of these properties are known, whereas the value of the property being valued is not. This procedure produced the estimated value of the property being valued as at a specific date.
In order to arrive at an estimate of the property's value, the appraisers apply price adjustments as required. The appraisers rely on actual sales or lease evidence for similar properties, considering factors such as the date of sale, location, size of the site, property configuration, technical condition, and available utilities. In the sale comparison approach, the higher the price per square metre, the higher the fair value.
The Group measures the fair value of its property portfolio twice a year, i.e., as at 30 June and 31 December, unless changes occur which require remeasurement. The fair value of property, which is expressed in the euro in valuation reports, is translated at the mid rates quoted by the National Bank of Poland at the end of the reporting period.
The Group measures the fair value of its property portfolio twice a year, i.e., as at 30 June and 31 December. The fair value of the properties located in Poland, including the landbank, as determined by experts using the market approach is expressed in the Polish złoty (PLN). The fair value of the other properties is expressed in the euro and is subsequently translated at the mid rates quoted by the National Bank of Poland at the end of the reporting period.
The valuation method did not change relative to previous periods.
In the year ended 31 December 2024, there were no transfers between the levels.
In the commercial property market in Poland, there is a shortage of market data that could be used to effectively capture the risks associated with the transition towards a net zero carbon footprint in 2026. To date, no standards have been developed to accurately reflect the impacts of this transition in property valuations. Moreover, there are no existing methodologies that directly link decarbonisation with property valuations. In the case of property leases, the risk involves potential changes to rental income levels due to decarbonisation initiatives, which have been factored into the valuations through rent rates for leased space and yield rates in property sale processes. In particular, the age of buildings and their technical specifications have been taken into account for valuation purposes.

The Group concluded that it has the following homogeneous groups of receivables: receivables from tenants and receivables under development contracts.
The time past due structure of trade receivables and impairment losses are presented in the table below.

Cash and cash equivalents disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position include cash in hand and bank deposits with original maturities of up to three months.
Indications of impairment of cash and cash equivalents were determined separately for each balance held with the financial institutions. Credit risk was assessed using external credit ratings and publicly available information on default rates set by external agencies for a given rating. The analysis showed that the credit risk of the assets as at the reporting date was low.
All banks with which the Group holds cash have investment grade ratings (BBB- or higher).
The main bank where the Group holds 75% of its cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted deposits is a financial institution with an A+ credit rating. The second primary bank, where the Group holds 6% of its funds, is also an institution with an A+ credit rating. The Group monitors the banks' credit ratings and manages concentration risk by placing deposits in multiple (over 10) financial institutions.

Due to its open short currency position, the Group is particularly exposed to changes in the EUR/PLN exchange rate. The table below presents the potential impact of a 2% depreciation of PLN against EUR and USD on the Group's results and equity. The rationale for assuming a 2% movement in EUR/PLN exchange rates on financial results and equity was based on the rates published by the National Bank of Poland on the last business day of each month in 2024. During this period, the variation between the minimum rate (4.2678 on 31 May 2024) and the maximum rate (4.3530 on 31 October 2024) was 2%.
Impact of PLN depreciation and appreciation on the Group's results and equity (PLN thousand)
The table below does not account for potential gains and losses on investment properties valued at fair value, which are sensitive to currency exchange fluctuations, nor does it consider the impact on other non-financial financial assets. The impact of exchange differences from investment properties in Poland is reflected in the statement of profit or loss item 'Gain/(loss) from revaluation,' and it has the opposite effect than on financing activities.
| as at 31 December | 2024 2023 |

| Increase in the EUR/PLN exchange rate by 2% |
(16,746) (38,505) |

Interest rate risk arises chiefly from borrowings as well as issued bonds bearing interest at variable rates. Interest rate movements affect debt-service cash flows. In order to mitigate the interest rate risk, the Group entered into interest rate swap contracts with its financing banks.
The table below presents the potential impact of an interest rate increase/decrease by 120 basis points on cash flows related to the servicing of financial obligations, based on the analysis of absolute change in 3M EURIBOR rates between the end of 2024 and the end of 2023:
| as at 31 December | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EURIBOR + 120 bp | 1,855 | (7,536) | |
| EURIBOR - 120 bp | (1,855) | 7,536 | |
| WIBOR + 120 bp | (148) | (182) | |
| WIBOR - 120 bp | 148 | 182 |
The above sensitivity analysis shows how much interest expense related to the servicing of debt obligations would increase assuming a rise in interest rates by 120 basis points at the end of each reporting period, and how much interest expense related to the servicing of debt obligations would decrease assuming a fall in interest rates by 120 basis points at the end of each reporting period.
| as at 31 December | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EURIBOR + 120 bp | - | 93 | |
| EURIBOR - 120 bp | - | (93) | |
| WIBOR + 120 bp | 211 | 161 | |
| WIBOR - 120 bp | (211) | (161) |
The above sensitivity analysis shows how much interest income on loans would increase assuming a rise in interest rates by 120 basis points at the end of each reporting period, and how much interest income on loans would decrease assuming a fall in interest rates by 120 basis points at the end of each reporting period.
The table below presents a potential impact on cash flows from monetary assets of a 50 basis points increase in interest rates.
| as at 31 December | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EURIBOR + 120 bp | 7,181 | 2,903 | |
| EURIBOR - 120 bp | (7,181) | (2,903) | |
| WIBOR + 120 bp | 1,186 | 2,869 | |
| WIBOR - 120 bp | (1,186) | (2,869) |
The above sensitivity analysis shows how much interest income on cash and other long- and short-term investments would increase assuming a rise in interest rates by 120 basis points at the end of each reporting period, and how much interest income on cash and other long- and short-term investments would decrease assuming a fall in interest rates by 120 basis points at the end of each reporting period.
The Group holds the following financial assets and liabilities linked to the WIBOR rate, which is set to be replaced by the new WIRON reference rate. According to the adopted Roadmap, the publication of WIBOR rates is scheduled to end in 2025:

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss to the Group if a trading partner or a counterparty in a transaction fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises chiefly from receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of these financial instruments.
The Group reduces the exposure by demanding that tenants provide security deposits and bank guarantees supporting timely performance of their rental obligations.
| as at 31 December | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security deposits from tenants at end of reporting period | 12,859 | 8,099 |
The Group enters into operating lease contracts for lease of warehouse and office space. Contracts are concluded for periods from three to ten years, usually for five years. A typical contract provides for the following types of payments: (a) rentals for leased space denominated in EUR (and occasionally in USD and PLN), with amounts varying depending on type and standard of space, (b) property management fees to cover running costs, denominated in PLN and charged per square metre of leased space, (c) contributions to the property tax and (d) re-charge of utility bills.
As at 31 December 2024, the aggregate amount of rental income (assuming that the EUR/PLN and USD/PLN exchange rates remain constant, rental rates are not indexed, and the amount of space leased remains unchanged) was PLN 1,980.7 million, of which PLN 240.9 million was receivable within one year, PLN 914.4 million in two to five years, and PLN 825.4 million after five years.
As at 31 December 2023, the aggregate amount of rental income (assuming that the EUR/PLN and USD/PLN exchange rates remain constant, rental rates are not indexed, and the amount of space leased remains unchanged) was PLN 1,512.6 million, of which PLN 199.4 million was receivable within one year, PLN 717.6 million in two to five years, and PLN 595.6 million after five years.
| as at 31 December | 2024 | 2023 | |

Fenix Polska Sp. z o.o. is related to the Group through Cajamarca Holland B.V., which as at held 100% of shares in Fenix Polska Sp. z o.o. and 42.69% of the Group's share capital.
On 19 February 2024, the Regional Court in Warsaw issued a decision to discontinue proceedings in the case brought by MLP Sp. z o.o. sp. SKA ( formerly MLP Tychy Sp. z o.o.) against European Bakeries Sp. z o.o. and CreditForce Holding B.V. with respect to the defendant CreditForce Holding B.V. of Houten (the Netherlands).
In 2012-2014, MLP Pruszków I Sp. z o.o., MLP Pruszków II Sp. z o.o. and MLP Pruszków III received decisions concerning change of perpetual usufruct charge. According to the decisions, as at 31 December 2024 the total amount potentially due was PLN 37,510 thousand. The management board of the companies does not accept the amount of the charge, and therefore the case was referred to the court. The District Governor did not take into account the expenses incurred by the companies.
In previous years and the reporting period, the Group recognised a provision of PLN 11,610 thousand for potential claims by Pruszków District Governor related to changes in the perpetual usufruct charge.
In the period from the end of the reporting period to the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements for issue, no events occurred which should have been but were not reflected in the accounting books of the reporting period and the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Due to the amount of trade with Russia and the reliance of EU countries on natural resources such as gas, crude oil, and food exports from Russia and Ukraine, the sanctions imposed and Russia's response have had a significant impact on the global economy. These actions have caused changes in the direction of the flow of raw materials and products, particularly by limiting the exchange of goods with Russia and Belarus and restricting transit between Europe and Asia via Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. These developments are also driving changes in the logistics industry. The war in Ukraine indirectly affects GDP dynamics, including in Poland, the inflation rate, interest rates, and expectations regarding their changes, which influence consumer and business behaviours, currency exchange rates, the unemployment rate, average and median wages and incomes, as well as the fiscal and monetary policy of the European Union, including the countries where the Group's companies operate.
The Group continuously monitors the situation and the impact of the war in Ukraine on its operations and individual projects, including long-term plans. The primary focus is on tracking key tenants (in terms of leased space and rental income) and information published regarding the war's impact on these entities. However, these tenants have not indicated any significant risks to their operations.
Retrospectively, the assessment of the war's impact on the Group's operations does not suggest that it has had or is having a significant negative effect on the Group's activities and financial results. However, the war in Ukraine has had an indirect impact (mainly in 2023, diminishing in 2024) on the following financial statement items:
The Group also monitors any potentially unfavorable military developments in Ukraine, which could lead to changes in logistics routes and negatively impact investor sentiment, particularly in Poland and Romania, where the Group operates.

We are a leading European logistics platform, specializing in the development, holding and management of Class A, modern multi-tenant warehouses and logistics properties located in core urban areas across our principal geographic markets: Poland, Germany, Austria and Romania. MLP Group's Investment Properties represent the one of the most modern portfolio in the European logistic market, with 90% of the buildings developed within the last 10 years and over 60% in the last 5 years.
Our logistic and industrial properties are strategically located near large urban areas and major road junctions in key locations with solid underlying demand fundamentals.
We hold, and aim to continue to acquire, development sites that are adjacent to our existing logistics properties, or in sought-after locations with proximity to strong logistics hubs and large, densely populated cities. We believe that we have a significant land bank offering potential development of up to 1.3 million sqm (comprising owned land and land with secured pre-emptive rights to purchase) as of December 31, 2024, allowing us to double the size of our current portfolio.

The map below shows the location of our properties as of December 31, 2024.
The Group develops and operates two types of warehouse space formats:
(1) big-box facilities, i.e. large-scale warehouse facilities within logistics parks, with units available for lease ranging from 2.5 to 30 thousand sqm. They are located near major urban centres with direct access to expressways and highways. The key tenants for warehouse parks are logistics companies, distributors, retail chains, and light manufacturing companies;
(2) city logistics/urban logistic facilities under the name MLP Business Park and offering small warehouse units (ranging from 700 sqm to 2.5 thousand sqm). Location is critical for MLP Business Park projects: they are strategically placed within city limits, ensuring easy access to public transport and labour pools. The office space in these projects is fitted-out to a high standard, which is important to tenants who want to base their headquarters alongside their warehouse operations. Additionally, the space can be customised to include showroom or exhibition facilities. Tenants in MLP Business Parks are typically companies in the service, IT, pharmaceutical and retail sectors, as well as those focusing on local distribution. The first project of this type is MLP Business Park Berlin, with further developments underway at MLP Business Park Łódź, MLP Business Park Vienna, and MLP Business Park Poznań. Construction of MLP Business Park Schalke and MLP Business Park Castrop-Rauxel will begin shortly.
Group has a robust and diversified tenant base, characterized by a mix of blue-chip tenants from various industries, ensuring a balanced and stable yielding portfolio. As of December 31, 2024, our tenant base consisted of approximately 195 tenants across the manufacturing, logistics, retail, and e-commerce sectors. This diversification is further strengthened by long-term contracts, with weighted average unexpired lease term ("WAULT") of 8 years ( increase from 7.4 as at December 31, 2023), and a retention rate amouted to 99%. As a result of strategy to expand our city logistics portfolio, Group is increasingly attracting tenants seeking properties in proximity to qualified labor, such as those in the light industry sector. Given the significant capital expenditure requirements by light industry tenants, these tenants typically prefer long term leases. Typically projects are carried out on a pre-lease basis whereby the investment process is conditioned upon execution of a lease contract with a potential tenant.
MLP Group is a member of key industry initiatives, such as the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).
The short- and long-term strategy of MLP Group is increasingly focused on sustainable development. This strategy, grounded in environmental and social considerations, aligns with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
MLP Group's foremost objective is to lessen its environmental footprint and achieve environmental neutrality. The carbon footprint of the Group has been assessed for scopes 1, 2 and 3, with total emissions estimated at 89,856 tCO2e.
MLP Group is dedicated to maximising the energy efficiency of its warehouses by cutting down on the use of electricity and heating and gradually increasing the adoption of renewable energy sources within MLP Group properties. This initiative is aimed at reducing the emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
In 2024, we provided our tenants in Poland with 100% renewable electricity. Starting from 2022, all electricity purchased for our logistics projects located in Poland has come from renewable sources, certified by guarantees of origin. This policy of purchasing green energy will continue in the coming years. Additionally, MLP Group runs its own energy generation program using photovoltaic (PV) systems. In 2024, we generated 2,007 MWh of electricity, resulting in a reduction of approximately 1,629 tonnes of CO emissions. The Group is also investing in photovoltaic 2 installations. As of the report's publication date, it has 8.1 MWp of photovoltaic panels installed, with an additional 1.9 MWp currently under development.
MLP Group's social initiatives, aligned with its ESG Strategy, are divided into internal and external activities.
The internal projects focus on fostering the professional development, health, and safety of employees. We are committed to further enhancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and open communication among our workforce.
All employees are provided with private healthcare, financial support for sports programmes, and language courses in English and German, as well as training and opportunities for career advancement.
We launched an ESG training programme for our team.
Our customer relationships are built on open dialogue. We regularly conduct surveys and actively engage with local communities.
As a company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, MLP Group is committed to adhering to and fully complying with the principles outlined in the 'Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies' document.
Employees are required to follow a code of ethics that addresses issues such as equality, human rights, cybersecurity, privacy policy, conflict of interest, and the prevention of fraud and embezzlement. A mechanism for reporting irregularities has also been implemented.
We are members of the Chamber of Commerce for Energy and Energy Consumers, and we pursue our goals by: working to reduce costs associated with acquiring and using energy; removing administrative barriers and excessive fiscal burdens; engaging in public consultations on projects that have a substantial impact on the business environment in Poland; providing education in the field of industrial energy and energy-intensive industries.
All Business Partners of MLP Group are expected to adhere to our Code of Good Business Practice, which sets out our ethical standards and guidelines for collaboration with Tenants and other Business Partners. This document aligns with our ESG strategy and underscores our commitment to upholding the highest ethical and social standards across all areas of our operations.

In 2024, MLP GROUP S.A. became a Strategic Partner of the Responsible Business Forum. This initiative brings together industry leaders who collaborate with experts to enhance their ESG capabilities and undertake joint projects driving sustainable business transformation.

The Group offers two types of space to its tenants:
The Group also provides its tenants with support office space. The final division of leased space depends on tenants' requirements.
The space is available in two formats:


Space completed at the Group's parks as at 31 December 2024:
The share of city logistic projects in the MLP portfolio is set to rise progressively. Currently the Group is building new projects in this format, and more are in the pipeline. The first project of this type is MLP Business Park Berlin, with further developments underway at MLP Business Park Łódź, MLP Business Park Vienna, and MLP Business Park Poznań. Construction of MLP Business Park Schalke and MLP Business Park Castrop-Rauxel will begin shortly.


Lease agreements signed in 2024 were totalling 307,194 sqm. including 225,221 sqm of new contracts (+106% YoY). In 2024, MLP Group acquired 22 new tenants, and 20 percent of the total demand came from existing tenants.

Majority of lease contract we have signed in Q4 2024, that shall pave the way for a significant increase in revenue and EBITDA in 2025.

The Group specialises in constructing and managing modern warehouse centres. All facilities are strategically located near large urban areas and major road junctions. MLP Group operates on the Polish, German, Austrian and Romanian markets.
Currently, the Group operates 31 logistics projects located in four European countries, including 23 in strategic locations in Poland. The Group operates six logistics projects in Germany, and one in each of Romania and Austria.
The Group has signed agreements grating options to purchase land in new locations in Poland and Germany, which would allow it to expand the selection of available locations for tenants.
The Group earns rental income from investment property in logistics parks in Poland, Germany, and Romania. The table below presents the types of revenue derived from lease of the properties.

In 2024, the Group reported revenue of PLN 372,421 thousand, a 3% increase year on year.
Rental income – the primary source of revenue – increased by 7% compared to 2023.
For information on the effect of exchange rate movements on rental income, see Section 3.1.1.
Poland, the principal operating segment of the Group, accounted for 88% of its revenue, a level similar to that reported for the corresponding period of 2023.
On the Romanian market, revenue reached PLN 10.8 million, an increase of 70% year on year, attributable to the delivery of new space to tenants.
The Group's ten largest tenants generated 29% of the Group's revenue in the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 (39% in the 12 months ended 31 December 2023).
In the reporting period, the Group's companies cooperated mainly with providers of the following services:
For construction services, general contractors are selected in internally organised tender procedures. In 2024, the Group cooperated with Wielkopolskie Przedsiębiorstwo Inżynierii Przemysłowej Spółka Komandytowa, BIN - Biuro Inżynierskie Sp. z o.o., Goldbeck Rhomberg GmbH under the general contractor system, BREMER Sp. z o.o., and Pekabex BET S.A. The Group's turnover with these companies exceeded 10% of its revenue in 2024.
The other services are procured from a broad base of suppliers, and therefore the Group is not dependent on any single supplier. In 2024, none of the Group's other suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Group's revenue.

In 2024, the Group continued its principal business activity consisting in the construction and lease of warehouse and manufacturing and business parks. Construction work was mainly outsourced to specialist third-party service providers on a general contractor basis.
During the reporting period, the Group was simultaneously engaged in more than a dozen development projects. As at the end of December 2024, the Group's portfolio comprised 1,178 thousand sqm of space completed and 444 sqm thousand of space under construction or in the pipeline. The Company's Management Board reviewed and assessed on an ongoing basis:
In 2024, the Group was engaged in the construction of projects with a total area of 329 thousand sqm, while a further 208 thousand sqm was in the pipeline as at 31 December 2024 (total: 537 thousand sqm)
Of the 329 thousand sqm of projects under construction in 2024, a total of 93 thousand sqm were completed. These projects were located in Poland (including 34 thousand sqm at MLP Pruszków V, 22 thousand sqm at MLP Gorzów) and in Romania (16 thousand sqm).
As at 31 December 2024, 236 thousand sqm of space was under construction.
Projects are predominantly carried out on a pre-lease basis, i.e., launch of the investment process is conditional upon execution of a lease contract with a potential tenant. In 2024, the Group proceeded with speculative big-box and city logistics projects at specific locations, which, when combined with pre-lease projects, make up significant investment initiatives designed to address the current market dynamics.

On 24 January 2024, MLP Business Park Vienna, a subsidiary, entered into an agreement with Goldbeck Rhomberg GmbH of Vienna to construct four warehouse and office buildings (partly pe-leased), with an area of approximately 55 thousand sqm, at the MLP Business Park Vienna logistics park.
On 7 October 2024, MLP Spreenhagen, a subsidiary, signed a contract with LIST Bau Bielefeld GmbH & Co. KG for the construction of one building with an area of 38,850 sqm.
The Group is not aware of any agreements between the Company's shareholders.
Further, the Group has no knowledge of any agreements (including those concluded after the reporting date) which could result in future changes in the proportions of shares held by the current shareholders.
In 2024, the Group did not enter into any significant cooperation or partnership agreements with other entities.
All transactions executed by the Company or its subsidiaries with related parties were executed on an arm's length basis.
For a description of related-party transactions, see Note 29 to the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 December 2024.
On 19 February 2024, the Regional Court in Warsaw issued a decision to discontinue proceedings in the case brought by MLP Sp. z o.o. sp. SKA ( formerly MLP Tychy Sp. z o.o.) against European Bakeries Sp. z o.o. and CreditForce Holding B.V. with respect to the defendant CreditForce Holding B.V. of Houten (the Netherlands).
In 2012-2014, MLP Pruszków I Sp. z o.o., MLP Pruszków II Sp. z o.o. and MLP Pruszków III received decisions concerning change of perpetual usufruct charge. As per these decision, the total potential amount to be paid, calculated as of 31 December 2024, is PLN 37,510 thousand. The management board of the companies does not accept the amount of the fees, and the matter has been referred to court. The District Governor did not take into account the expenses incurred by the companies.
In previous years and in the current year, the Group recognised provisions for a portion of potential claims of the Pruszków Governor due to the revision of the perpetual usufruct charge, totalling PLN 11,610 thousand.
The Group's business is exposed to the following risks arising from holding of financial instruments:
The Management Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing the Group's risk management functions, including the identification and analysis of the risks to which the Group is exposed, determining appropriate risk limits and controls, as well as risk monitoring and matching of the limits. The risk management policies and procedures are reviewed on a regular basis, to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's business.
Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss to the Group if a trading partner or a counterparty in a transaction fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers, loans and cash and cash equivalents.
The objective of risk management is to establish and maintain a stable and sustainable portfolio of loans and other investments in debt instruments in terms of both quality and value. This is achieved by implementing an appropriate credit limit policy.
Liquidity risk is the risk of the Group not being able to meet in a timely manner its liabilities that are to be settled by delivery of cash or other financial assets. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without risking unacceptable losses or damage to the Group's reputation. To this end, the Group monitors its cash flows and secures access to sufficient cash to cover anticipated operating expenses and expected cash outflows for current financial liabilities, and maintains anticipated liquidity ratios.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's results or the value of financial instruments it holds. The Group mitigates the risk by constantly monitoring the Group's exposures, maintaining the exposures them within assumed limits, and seeking to optimise the rate of return on investment. The risk mitigation measures involve using hedge accounting to reduce the influence of market price volatility on financial results.
An economic downturn or a significant deterioration in macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations and value of the Group's real estate, including disruptions in financial markets, uncertain economic conditions, and recent inflationary pressure.
The development of the commercial real estate market in which the Group operate depends both on changes in the construction and real estate sectors, trends in manufacturing, trade, industry, services, transport, and on the development of the economy as a whole, which is influenced by a number of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, such as: Russia's military aggression in Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus (as well as the retaliations of these countries), the dynamics of economic growth, Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") levels, the level of inflation rates, the level of interest rates and expectations regarding changes in these rates, which influence the behavior of consumers and entrepreneurs, currency exchange rates, the situation on the labor market, the level of unemployment rates, the level of average wages and median wages and incomes, the value of foreign direct investment, the fiscal and monetary policy of the European Union, including the countries in which the Group operate. The growth rate of the domestic economy, and thus also Group's operations and results, may be affected by a downturn and slowdown in the global economy. Negative changes in the macroeconomic situation and the economic and monetary policies of Poland, Romania, other countries and the European Central Bank may materially adversely affect Group's financial results and its ability to implement plans.
In particular, on February 24, 2022, troops of the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which caused major changes in the economic situation of all European countries and significantly affected the supply and transport routes of raw materials and products. The EU as well as a number of non-EU Member States have imposed sanctions on Russia, Belarus and their leadership and individuals. These sanctions are without precedent in relations between European countries. Given the volume of trade with Russia to date, and above all the dependence of EU countries on natural resources, including gas and oil, imported from Russia, as well as the role of Russia and Ukraine as food exporters, both the sanctions imposed and the retaliation by Russia continue to have a significant impact on the global economy, and are causing far-reaching changes in the direction of flows of both raw materials and products, in particular by limiting trade in goods with Russia and Belarus and restricting transit through Russia, Belarus and Ukraine between Europe and Asia. Higher energy costs and commodity prices, cyber disruptions or attacks, heightened general operating risks and disruption of logistic chains in Europe resulting from the foregoing have led to increased economic instability, market volatility and inflation, which have affected and may continue to affect the financial strength of many commercial real estate tenants and the logistics industry as a whole. Although the hostilities in Ukraine have not had a material adverse effect on the Group's operations thus far, possible unfavorable military developments in Ukraine could lead to changes in logistics routes and negatively affect the propensity for tenant investment in Poland and Romania, thereby leading to a reduction in demand for the Group's services. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect Group's business and its results of operations.
In addition, inflation has the potential to adversely affect Group's liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing overall cost structure. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates and other similar effects.. Although the Group takes measures to mitigate the impact of inflation (including full indexation of 100% of lease agreements), these measures may not be effective and Group's business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
One important part of the Group's business is active asset management, which includes managing vacancy rates and rental levels and the terms of leases for all properties, as well as ensuring the desired tenant mix. In addition to legal restrictions, the Group's ability to lease vacant space, renegotiate rents and achieve the desired tenant mix depends on market factors.
Some of these factors, such as the general economic environment, consumer confidence, inflation and interest rates are beyond the Group's control. During recessions or economic downturns, competition between investors and developers makes it more difficult to retain existing tenants and attract new ones. If the Group is unable to generate or capitalize on demand for its properties, it may not be possible to reduce vacancy rates or renegotiate rents in a favorable manner.
If high vacancy rates persist for an extended period of time, this could result in an overall reduction in the rents paid by tenants, making it much more difficult to increase the average rental rates in accordance with our plans. Vacant space also results in an increase in overall operating costs, due to the need to cover costs generated by empty properties. Any such decrease in rental income or increase in operating expenses could have a material adverse effect on Group's financial position and results.
The Group is exposed to risks associated with the development, acquisition, ownership and management of properties in the commercial property market.
A number of factors may affect the revenue generated and the value of our properties, including:
(i) changes in laws and administrative regulations relating to real estate, including those relating to obtaining permits or approvals, determining land use, taxes and other public charges;
(ii) cyclical changes in the real estate markets in which the Group operate;
(iii) ability to procure appropriate construction, management, maintenance, and property security services.
A general downturn in the property market may have a negative impact on the Group's performance in terms of income generated from the rental of warehouse space. If tenants default on their obligations or if there are no tenants, the Group will not earn rental income while incurring costs associated with the property. These costs may include but are not limited to: legal and valuation costs, maintenance costs, insurance, and local property taxes. The level of achievable rent as well as market price of a property are, in principle, dependent on the economic situation. Consequently, a fall in the level of market prices may result in rent levels that are different from projections and lead to losses within a project or the need to find alternative uses for land purchased for development.
The occurrence of any of the risk factors discussed above could have a significant negative impact on the Group's operations, financial position, results, and development prospects.
The Group's properties may be damaged or destroyed due to a number of foreseeable or unforeseeable circumstances. It is also possible for third parties to suffer damage as a result of events for which the Group is liable. Although the Group has various insurance policies, including liability insurance related to its operations and real estate, as well as all-risk property insurance, income protection insurance and insurance for directors and officers, these policies may prove to be insufficient and may not cover all risks related to the Group's operations.
Certain risks, such as terrorist attacks, risks related to war or armed conflict, and natural disasters, may also not be insurable or may only be insurable at high costs which, in turn, may make insuring them uneconomical. The insurance policies may not protect the Group against all losses that may incur in connection with the Group's operations, and certain types of insurance may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Accordingly, insurance cover may not be sufficient to fully compensate for losses incurred in connection with Group's properties. If any such risks were to materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Ability to commence and complete the development, redevelopment or upgrading properties depends on a number of factors, some of which are beyond the Group's control. These factors include, in particular, the ability to obtain all required administrative decisions, to secure external financing on satisfactory terms or at all, to engage reliable contractors, and to secure suitable tenants.
Factors over which Group has limited or no control, which may delay or otherwise adversely affect the development or upgrading of its facilities, include:
• an increase in the cost of materials, labor or other costs that may make it uneconomical to complete the project;
• actions of public authorities and local governments resulting in unforeseen changes to land-use plans and architectural and construction requirements;
• defects or limitations in the legal titles to plots of land or buildings we acquire, or defects, limitations or conditions relating to administrative decisions concerning plots of land we hold;
• changes in applicable laws, norms, regulations or standards, or in their interpretation or application, which come into force after we have commenced the planning or construction phase of a project, resulting in additional costs or causing delays to the project;
• violations of building standards or norms, faulty construction methods or defective construction materials;
• industrial accidents, as yet undisclosed existing soil contamination, or potential liability under environmental and other relevant legislation, for example relating to archaeological finds or unexploded ordnance or building materials that are deemed harmful to health;
• forces of nature, such as bad weather, earthquakes, and floods, which can damage or delay projects; and
• acts of terror or riots, rebellions, strikes and/or civil unrest.
Investment projects may only be carried out if the relevant plots of land have the appropriate technical infrastructure required by law. The relevant authorities may require to create the legally required additional infrastructure as part of our construction work before issuing permits. Such additional work may significantly affect the construction costs of the facility in question.
In addition, the development of certain projects may become uneconomic and/or unfeasible for reasons beyond our control, such as a downturn in the property market or increased financing costs. The Group may not be able to complete these projects on time, within budget or at all, for any of the above or other reasons, which may increase costs, or delay or cause a project to be abandoned, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on Group's financial position and results.


Subcontracting of projects is outsourced to general contractors or other third parties. The successful completion of construction projects depends on the Group's ability to employ general contractors who deliver projects in accordance with accepted standards of quality and safety, on commercially reasonable terms, within agreed timeframes and within the approved budget. The inability to hire general contractors on commercially reasonable terms or the failure of general contractors to meet accepted quality and safety standards, their failure to complete construction or refurbishment on time or within the agreed budget, as well as the general contractors' demand for an increase in remuneration, especially due to an increase in the price of construction materials, may result in increased project costs, delays in project completion, or claims against the Group. In addition, the aforementioned events may adversely affect the Group's image and ability to sell completed projects.
Contractors and third-party service providers may be adversely affected by economic downturns, insolvencies or any other risks inherent to the provision of any such services. These risks include damages caused by severe weather conditions (e.g., fires, floods or natural disasters) and construction related delays due to personnel shortages, strikes, building site safety, governmental permits, adverse weather conditions, shortage of or inability to source building materials and transportation issues, any of which may be influenced by the respective parties' reliance on third parties. The financial strength and liquidity of the general contractors may prove to be insufficient in the event of a significant downturn in the property market or increases in the cost of development, which in turn could lead to their bankruptcy, adversely affecting the execution of the Group's strategy.
In connection with the construction of developments, the Group enters both general construction contracts, as well as contracts for the execution of specific works, including road-, water-, and sewage-related works. These contracts contain provisions to secure the performance of general contractors' obligations and secure claims against them, for example, by establishing a guarantee of proper and timely performance of the subject of the contract (in the form of a performance bond or a bank or insurance guarantee), as well as by establishing contractual penalties for delays.
However, these provisions may not cover all costs and damages incurred in such circumstances, and they may not completely eliminate the consequences of delays in the construction of a project, such as an unplanned increase in completion costs and a delay in revenue generation. In specific cases, it may turn out that the contractors are unable to satisfy the Group's claims, which in turn may result in an inability to cover the losses incurred.
Dependence on general contractors also exposes Group to all risks relating to the poor quality of the work of such general contractors, their subcontractors and employees, and to construction defects. In particular, the Group may incur damages due to the need to engage other contractors to correct faulty work or due to the need to pay compensation to persons who have suffered damages due to faulty work. Furthermore, there is a risk that such losses or costs will not be covered by the Group's insurance, by the contractor or by the relevant subcontractor. In addition, the Group may be affected by occupational accidents involving persons employed by its contractors.
Although the Group is not directly liable for workplace accidents affecting employees of construction contractors carrying out work on construction sites, accidents may nevertheless cause disruptions to the contractors' work, which may consequently cause delays in project execution and generate additional costs.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that contractors or third-party service providers will not terminate agreements with the Group or enter into default. The Group's ability to continue its business operations upon any termination, default or similar circumstances caused by contractors or service providers is limited by, among others, the availability of qualified replacement contractors or service providers and/or our ability to enter into favorable agreements with them. Subsequently, following any termination, default or similar circumstance, the Group may no longer be able to develop, manage, operate, and maintain real estate properties or to assess or manage Group's transactions.
Any of these events could negatively affect the Group's profitability and financial position or result in claims, which could have an adverse effect on Group's reputation.
As part of operations and in managing assets, the Group is required to obtain numerous permits, arrangements, approvals, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities including permits for the construction and use of its investment properties. Further approvals and permits with respect to, among others, density, site planning and protection of the environment may also be required. Obtaining such permits and approvals may be time consuming and is often, in particular with regard to land use plans (including the implementation of new zoning plans for our projects), subject to the discretion of the local authorities and may require significant resources.
The Group cannot assure that all such permits, arrangements, approvals, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities in connection with existing properties or new investments will be obtained in a timely manner, or that they will be obtained at all, or that permits, consents, administrative decisions or other types of rulings by public authorities held now or obtained in the future will not expire, be revoked or cancelled, or that their validity will be extended in a timely manner.
In addition, public administration authorities may make the issuance of certain administrative decisions or other rulings subject to compliance with certain additional conditions (including, for example, provision of appropriate infrastructure) or obligations, which may involve additional costs and prolong the proceedings, resulting in a temporary inability to generate revenue.
In addition, the Group may seek to make changes to some of projects or facilities, as well as changes to the use of the properties so as to use them more efficiently or in line with trends in the property market at the time. It may not be possible to implement such changes, due to difficulties in obtaining or amending the required permits, approvals, administrative decisions or other rulings by public administration authorities, particularly in the case of properties entered in the register of historic buildings.
The Group's ability to obtain the permits required to realize development projects is dependent on ability to meet the relevant regulatory and planning requirements. The Group own property in numerous geographies and may therefore need to meet different requirements for each geography while being subject to various authorities' discretion in granting such permits.
The Group's progress in development activities is highly dependent on the decisions of such local authorities, and this process is often uncertain and political, and may require significant efforts in order to secure the necessary approvals. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be received, or that they will be received in a timely manner or without unfavorable provisions and/or conditions. Planning regulations and permits could also be challenged within the relevant statutory period, which could eventually lead to delays in the realization or even in completion of a particular development project.
In addition, social and environmental organizations, as well as owners of neighboring properties and local residents may take action to prevent from obtaining the required permits, approvals, administrative decisions or other rulings by public authorities, including by participating in administrative and court proceedings, challenging decisions, rulings and judgments issued in the course of such proceedings, as well as by disseminating negative and defamatory information regarding Group's investments. In particular, the above actions may significantly delay execution of investment activities, the achievement of expected revenues, and may cause the Group to incur additional costs in connection with its investments.
The materialization of any of the foregoing risks could materially affect development activities and results of operations.
The efficiency and scale of the Group's operations depend on the supply of suitable land properties for development, the price level of these properties, and their legal status. The Group's ability to secure land for development projects in attractive locations depends on several factors, including the efficiency of operations, as well as on objective factors within the market environment, such as strong competition in the land market, the length of time required to change the legal purpose of land and limited supply of land with appropriate infrastructure.
Land prices are indirectly influenced by the demand for the rental of warehouse, manufacturing and office space, as well as the macroeconomic situation, the availability of financing, the supply of warehouse, manufacturing and office space in a given area, and tenants' expectations regarding standard and location of the properties. An increase in future land prices may also adversely affect the competitiveness and profitability of the Group's new developments. Conversely, a decline in the value of land may result in lower valuations of the Group's investment properties and may adversely affect the competitiveness, profitability and valuation of some of existing projects.
In addition, an inability to identify and acquire land for development projects at economically feasible prices could materially impact Group's business, financial position, and results of operations.
The development and management of real estate properties are subject to risks caused by, including, the condition of the real estate property, the inaccurate assessment of any of the investments, unfavorable financing conditions, and changes in the legislative and regulatory environment or any other factor, including those beyond the Group's control.
We may not be able to identify all material risks in connection with the due diligence processes that the Group conduct prior to an acquisition. The Group may also not be able to assess whether the original owner of an acquisition target or any potential successor has obtained, maintained or renewed all required permits, satisfied all permit conditions and obtained all necessary licenses.
Any acquisition target may suffer from hidden defects or damages that we were not able to discover in the course of the acquisition process. Consequently, there can be no assurance that all risks related to the acquisition of real estate properties have been identified, evaluated and addressed accordingly. The Group's ability to identify and evaluate all risks relating to the unrestricted ownership title to real estate properties and third-party rights relating to acquisition targets may also be limited in certain instances. Legal, tax and/or economic liabilities may be, or may have been, insufficiently or inaccurately evaluated.
In addition, the representations and warranties we receive from sellers in the sale and purchase agreements for such acquisitions may not cover all risks or fail to cover known and existing risks sufficiently. Additionally, warranties may be or become unenforceable. In some cases, a seller may refuse to make any representation or warranty as to risks associated with the acquisition or make no representation or warranty as to the sufficiency and correctness of the information made available in the context of a due diligence investigation. Due to the high competition for attractive land plots or buildings suitable for development projects, the Group may has to accept purchase agreements with very limited or even no representations and warranties.
Furthermore, the Group may overestimate the earnings potential and potential synergies from acquisitions, as well as underestimate the rental and cost risks, including expected demand from tenants for the respective property and expected capital expenditures for developing, maintaining or modernizing the property, and consequently pay a purchase price that exceeds a property's actual value. In addition, properties could be inaccurately appraised, even if they were acquired on the basis of valuation reports by reputable independent appraisers and due diligence investigations. Therefore, neither a particular cash flow from rentals, nor a certain retail price can be guaranteed with respect to acquired properties.
The realization of any risk described above could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Group operates in the following four jurisdictions: Poland, Germany, Romania and Austria. As a result, Group needs to appropriately adapt internal regulations, including those related to monitoring and reporting. Any mismanagement of foreign investments or inadequacy of internal regulations could materially adversely affect Group's reputation, business, and financial performance.
As of December 31, 2024, 76% of the Group's portfolio based on fair value was located in Poland and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 85% of rental income was generated by properties located in Poland. As a result of the geographical concentration of the Group's portfolio, performance may be disproportionately affected by negative market developments in Poland. In addition, given the geographic concentration of properties, the outcome of a catastrophic environmental or other event, such as a flood, fire, terrorism or other disaster, could be more severe for the Group compared to a more geographically diversified portfolio of properties.
The success of the Group's business depends on a large extent on executives, who have the knowledge and experience in running the business of developing, leasing and operating warehouse and manufacturing centers. The current members of management have substantial experience in the real estate industry and/or have held other key senior management positions and have gained expertise that is particularly necessary to run and develop our business with respect to the search for and acquisition of both new locations for investments and tenants with an established position in the market, as well as the construction, marketing and management of logistics parks. In the event of departure of one or more of these key personnel, the Group may not be able to replace them with suitable successors, which could affect operational and financial results. Any unanticipated changes in key personnel may also be disruptive to our business operations, and growth strategy may require hiring of additional qualified employees. In addition, these factors may adversely affect Group's ability to further develop its business or even to complete projects already underway.
The owners and operators of real estate in the Group's jurisdictions are subject to strict environmental laws that require them to comply with current and future environmental standards and to prevent and remediate any contamination or damage. According to the applicable legislation, the entity using the environment is obliged to take preventive and remedial measures to prevent or eliminate environmental damage. In addition, if an imminent threat of environmental damage or environmental damage has been caused with the consent or knowledge of the landowner, the landowner is obliged to take preventive and remedial measures jointly and severally with the entity using the environment that caused it.
In addition, to develop projects, the Group must obtain a number of environmental approvals and permits, including waste management and water permits, and pay environmental fees. The Group properties may be affected by environmental issues that could expose Group to liabilities and put us at risk of non-compliance with our obligations under existing permits. The Group also may be exposed to damage as a consequence of sudden and unforeseen environmental pollution caused by events related to infrastructural development or caused by forces of nature.
The Group has complied with all environmental protection requirements stipulated by the applicable legislation, and the tenants of warehouse and manufacturing spaces have not conducted or are not conducting activities harmful to the environment within the meaning of environmental protection regulations. However, the Group may be required to pay damages, administrative fines or incur remediation costs resulting from environmental pollution on its land or on land the Group's acquires in the future.
If the relevant authorities discover violations of applicable environmental laws, the Group may be subject to fines and other penalties. Any of the foregoing could have a negative impact on Group's reputation, financial position, and results of operations.
The Group's operations are subject to several laws and regulations. Changes to applicable laws, could have a significant impact on the Group's business and its financial results. The entry into force of a new, economically significant regulation may directly cause significant changes in the commercial real estate market through a significant rise in project costs or a change in agreements with purchasers or tenants.
Local zoning laws are subject to change and may interfere with the intended use of the Group's properties. In addition, the enactment of any new law or regulation that is open to conflicting interpretations may give rise to uncertainty as to the current legal status, which may in turn lead to the temporary suspension of projects for fear of possible adverse consequences of the ambiguous laws or regulations. The above factors may have a material adverse effect on Group's business, financial position, and results of operations.
The Polish tax system is characterized by a lack of stability. At the same time, the interpretation of the regulations themselves by the tax authorities and administrative courts is also subject to significant changes, which may have negative consequences for entities adhering to known previous interpretations of these regulations. The Group also has operations in Romania, Germany and Austria. Tax laws are changed frequently, many times to the disadvantage of taxpayers. The interpretation of the rules may also be subject to similar changes. Frequent changes in the law governing the taxation of business activities and divergent interpretations and variability of such interpretations in the application of tax laws by the tax authorities may prove detrimental to the Group's business and results of operations.
Attracting good tenants, especially anchor tenants is crucial to ensuring commercial success. Key tenants play an important role in generating further growth of the logistics park segment. The Group may face difficulties in securing tenants during periods of economic downturn.
In addition, the termination of a lease agreement by any of the key tenants may adversely affect the attractiveness of the park. If a tenant defaults on its lease agreement, is declared bankrupt or restructuring proceedings are initiated against it, there may be a delay in rent payments or a decline in rental income, the effects of which Group may not be able to offset.
Furthermore, new developments or trends in the market standard of commercial real estate could result in decreasing demand if such properties do not meet such new requirements. Any extension or change to the property may lead to additional unforeseen costs and expenses. The materialization of this risk may lead to a significant deterioration in the Group's rental income, and by extension, its financial position and results of operations.
In addition, when existing lease agreements expire, the Group may not be able to release its commercial properties immediately, and it may take time to locate and secure a successor tenant for such space or property, which could have a negative effect on its business, financial position and results of operations. In extreme cases, long-term vacancies may occur. The economic success of the Group's business depends significantly on its ability to generate rental income from the lease of properties to suitable tenants. Tenants may fail to meet their rental obligations for a plethora of reasons, including a change in financial position. Adverse developments of any of the foregoing factors may lead to tenants' inability to meet their obligations under their lease agreements.
The Group leases warehouse and manufacturing space to entrepreneurs conducting various types of business activities on the premises. In their lease agreements, tenants undertake third-party liability insurance on account of conducting business activities on the properties; nevertheless, an injured person may be unable to pursue compensation claims against the tenants for damages arising in connection with their business activities, in particular business activities that may cause environmental damage or damage resulting from faulty construction of the warehouse facilities. Such a situation could give rise to civil claims against Group as ownerof the land and facilities where the activities giving rise to third-party damage are carried out.
In connection with the lease agreements concluded with prospective tenants, the Group undertakes to connect the constructed properties to the utilities necessary for the tenants' operations. In turn, tenants pay for all services related to the use of the facilities, including fees for, among other things, electricity and gas consumption, central heating, cold and hot water, sewage disposal, and waste disposal.
All logistics parks have secured access to utilities adequate to meet the tenants' current demand, and properties purchased by the Group can be connected to utilities of a similar type. However, due to an increase in the demand for utilities, the current capacities may prove insufficient in the future or the projected capacities of new investments may be underestimated. Any resulting shortfall in utility volumes may have a negative impact on Group's operations, financial position or results.
When purchasing land for new investments, an analysis of the terrain is carried out. However, due to the limited scope of this analysis and the possibility of the occurrence of ground features that are difficult to identify, there may be unforeseen difficulties during the development of the project, which may result in delays and increased costs of site preparation for construction. Adverse ground conditions may result from, among other things, high groundwater levels, instability of lower ground, environmental contamination and archaeological finds. The occurrence of such situations may adversely affect Group's operations and financial performance.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Polish Civil Code, a contractor of construction works commissioned by an investor to carry out a development project may at any time demand from the investor a payment guarantee in the form provided for by the Polish Civil Code, up to the amount of any claim for remuneration under the contract and additional works or works necessary for the performance of the contract accepted in writing by the investor. The right to demand a payment guarantee may not be excluded or limited by a legal act, and a withdrawal from the contract caused by a demand for a payment guarantee shall be ineffective. The request for a guarantee may entail costs for us, and the absence of the requested payment guarantee constitutes an obstacle to the execution of the works for reasons attributable to us. This in turn would entitle the contractor to demand remuneration under the rules specified in the Polish Civil Code, which may increase costs and delay the execution of projects and thus have a negative impact on our operations, financial position, or results.
The Group activities include the leasing of warehouse halls in storage and manufacturing centers. In the event that the halls are not completed on time or are damaged, Group may be obligated to pay contractual penalties, and risk tenants withdrawing from their leases or additional claims. In such circumstances, it may be required to make payments in connection with the termination of leases or to settle payments due under such leases. The occurrence of any of the events described above could have a material adverse effect on Group's operations, financial position, or results.
Prior to the construction of warehouse and manufacturing facilities, the Group enters into certain lease agreements with future tenants. In connection with these agreements, prospective tenants undertake to use the facilities which are going to be constructed in the future, for a fee, from the time agreed in the lease agreement. Such leases may expire or be subject to non-performance, for instance, due to insolvency, loss of creditworthiness or withdrawal by the tenants. The termination or non-performance of lease agreements by existing tenants may lead to the deterioration of Group's tenant portfolio and have a significant negative impact on its operations and results.
The attractiveness of rental properties in logistics parks depends not only on their location, but also on the condition in which they are kept. In order to maintain the attractiveness and profitability of the properties in the long term, the properties must be kept in good condition and sometimes may need to be upgraded to meet ever-changing market demands. In addition, the Group may be required from time to time to incur costs to undertake various maintenance and modernization measures to meet changing legal, environmental or market requirements, particularly with regard to health and safety requirements and fire protection. Any failure to maintain the properties could also pose a risk to the health and safety of our tenants as well as their employees, which in turn could cause the Group to be liable for any damages.
Maintenance, renovation and modernization measures may also lead to properties remaining vacant, at least temporarily, thereby leading to decreased rental income, especially if such measures take longer than expected.
While the Group anticipates that its properties may only require periodic maintenance for years following completion, the period of time between modernization measures may decrease in the future, due to applicable legal and regulatory requirements or tenants' increasing demand for modern, up-to-date infrastructure. The maintenance or upgrading of these properties will require significant financial expenditure.
If the actual costs of maintaining or upgrading such properties were to exceed the costs anticipated, or if, in the course of maintenance or upgrading work, the existence of latent defects not covered by insurance or a guarantee or warranty for the work performed were to be discovered, or if the Group is unable to increase rental rates in light of the legislation in force at the time or the provisions of the relevant leases, the Group will be forced to incur additional expenditure on the properties. The occurrence of the above-mentioned factors could have a material adverse effect on Group's business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The global economy is characterized by volatility, uncertainty and declining growth. Rising inflation as a result of, among other things, supply-chain disruptions and Russia's aggression in Ukraine have prompted the European Central Bank as well as central banks in Poland and Romania to raise interest rate levels. A further rise in interest rates in Europe may increase Group's borrowing costs under the financial liabilities and thus affect its profitability.
In managing and maintaining property holdings, The Group is subject to the risk that operating, energy, heating, insurance and other property maintenance costs could rise and that such costs cannot or can only in part be transferred to tenants. This can be triggered, for example, by the imposition of new and/or higher land taxes and other statutory contributions, changes in laws, regulations, and government measures (including those concerning health and safety as well as environmental protection), a rise in the inflation rate, higher energy prices, an increase in insurance premiums or an increase in maintenance and repair costs or capital expenditure for properties. Each of the aforementioned factors could reduce Group's profitability in the absence of a simultaneous rise in rental income or recharge of utility costs and service charges by tenants, or due to exhausted net rent potential. This in turn could have material adverse effects on Group's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There is no guarantee that title to any of Group's properties will not be challenged or impaired. Third parties may have valid claims underlying portions of interests, including prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. As a result, Group may be constrained in ability to operate its properties or unable to enforce rights with respect to Group's properties. An impairment to, or defect in, title to Group's properties could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The Group is exposed to various risks relating to defective construction work or the use or installation of defective construction materials by third-party suppliers or contractors. The construction of new real estate properties involves health, safety and environmental risks. Specifically, building components might contain hazardous substances or the properties could bear other environmental risks. The warranty, guarantee or indemnity protection set forth in contracts with third-party suppliers and contractors, and the arrangements with insurance providers to insure against certain risks may prove to be insufficient or may not adequately protect Group against relevant risks. Furthermore, the Group may not be able to enforce claims in the respective amount, or at all, due to the third-party contractor's or supplier's insolvency, or for other reasons. Significant liabilities may not be identified or may only come to light after the expiry of our warranty, guarantee or indemnity claims. Unexpected levels of expenditure attributable to such construction defects or defective construction materials arising in relation to a development project may adversely affect Group's business, financial position, and results of operation.
The real estate sector is exposed to risks relating to natural disasters and environmental pollutants. This damage could lead to additional costs for us that may not be, in whole or in part, covered by our insurance policies. During construction, there is a risk of water and soil pollution linked to the presence of hydrocarbons, chemicals, and other pollutants. There is also a risk of air pollution due to dust emissions and fine particles. Group's development projects may impact biodiversity due to the loss of vegetation from soil sealing. This could have a negative impact on Group's reputation and increase the risk of litigation. Environmental damage and pollution, whether caused by natural disasters, environmental pollutants or failure of or defects in the technology and equipment used by Group's buildings, or any other factor outside of our control could also prompt a loss of recognitions for certain environmental or health certifications. Any of the foregoing could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A failure to successfully manage the impacts of climate change may leave properties vulnerable to negative effects of changing climate conditions. Group's properties are increasingly exposed to extreme weather conditions which are becoming more frequent and harsher.
Such actual or threatened climate change related damage could increase the cost of, or make unavailable, insurance on favorable terms. The Group may face increased costs of resources such as water, energy, building materials and techniques due to climate change. Further, The Group may also need to comply with more stringent regulatory requirements and respond to higher stakeholder expectations regarding sustainability.
The Group is subject to risks arising in connection with sale, purchase, credit and loan transactions which are denominated in currencies (chiefly the euro) other than functional currency. Financial statements are prepared in the Polish złoty, which is functional currency. In order to make estimates as to the level of capital required to achieve our strategic goals, The Group uses euro as a reference currency. Most of the investments executed and planned as part of business strategy is expressed in euro. Across all countries where the Group operate, debt financing is denominated in euros, contracts with general contractors are also concluded in the euro or denominated in this currency, and the Group earn rental income in euro or rents are denominated in euro. Hence, while the Group uses natural hedging to minimize or completely eliminate foreign exchange risk, a specific segment of its expenses, including certain construction costs, service fees, materials, utilities, and employee salaries, are incurred in the currencies of the geographic markets where we the Group is active, namely the Polish złoty, Romanian leu, or the euro.
For reporting purposes, the Group translate amounts denominated in the euro into functional currency. Considering the fluctuations in the PLN/EUR exchange rates, any significant appreciation of functional currency could notably decrease Group's revenue due to the conversion of rents denominated in the euro into PLN. If currency translation or transaction risk materialized, the value of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities reported in euro and translated into zloty could fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates, thereby impacting Group's financial position.

In recent years, there has been an increased focus from investors, governmental and nongovernmental entities, and the public on ESG matters, including greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, packaging and waste, practices related to sustainable supply chain, energy and water use, diversity, equity and inclusion, human rights and social commitment. A variety of organizations evaluate, and measure the performance of, companies on such ESG matters, and the results of these assessments are widely publicized. If Group's ESG practices do not meet investor, tenant, or employee expectations, which continue to evolve, our brand, reputation, and tenant and employee retention may be negatively impacted.
The execution of ESG strategies to achieve goals, commitments, and targets are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which may be outside of control and prove to be more costly than Group anticipate.
These risks and uncertainties include ability to achieve goals, commitments, and targets within the currently projected costs and the expected timeframes; unforeseen operational and technological difficulties; the outcome of research efforts and future technology developments; and the success of collaborations with third parties. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with ESG reporting, ESG practices or speed of adoption.
The Group could also incur additional costs and devote additional resources to monitor, report, and implement various ESG practices. Any failure, or perceived failure, to achieve ESG goals, commitments, and targets could damage Group's reputation and tenant, investor and other stakeholder relationships, and may even result in regulatory enforcement action.
Certain acquisitions or sales of property may be rendered void under applicable local law provisions as a result of insolvency, fraud, lack of consideration, gross undervaluation, avoidance of creditors, defrauding of creditors or as a result of other technical requirements in the conveyance of property. Further, there may be a risk of legal disputes with neighboring landowners, architects, project managers and suppliers, with respect to Group's refurbishment/construction projects. In addition, there can be no assurance that all permits necessary to legally own, develop or operate the properties have been obtained in compliance with all applicable laws. While the Group conduct detailed due diligence to identify any issues related to such permits and take all steps necessary to remedy any defects, there can be no assurance that this can be achieved on time and that regulators will not impose the suspension of the relevant properties' operation. If ownership interests over property or permits are successfully challenged, this could have a material adverse effect on Group's business, prospects, results of current and future operations, as well as financial condition.
In the event that contract clauses prove to be invalid, the use of standardized contracts could lead to claims against the Group from numerous contracts to a loss of receivables, or to increases expenses.
The Group uses standardized contracts in the ordinary course of business in contractual relationships with a large number of parties, in particular with tenants. A lack of clarity or any errors in these model contracts could therefore impact numerous contractual relationships. Changes in the legal environment affecting existing contracts could also impact numerous contractual relationships. Moreover, contracts seemingly signed as individual agreements could be considered general terms and conditions of business and, if violations of the applicable regulations were to occur, could be invalid or eligible for termination. Such developments could result in Group being forced to bear costs or could subject to large claims or cause us to suffer a loss of receivables.
Group's business is exposed to the risk of non-compliance with building codes or environmental regulations. There can be no assurance that all building codes or environmental regulation were, or are, complied with for all of our real estate properties. The Group may acquire real estate properties that are, at the time of the acquisition, not in compliance with environmental regulations, which remain undiscovered during the acquisition process. There can be no assurance that landlord responsibilities relating to environmental regulations, including, among others, environmental protection and energy efficiency, will not be amended or tightened in the future. Any measures utilized to adapt to future regulations could require capital-intensive modernization measures, which, in turn, may depend on the grant of building permits, issued by relevant building authorities. Subsequently, the Group may not comply with applicable building codes or environmental regulations and ultimately be in violation thereof.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Group may, from time to time, become involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations, arbitration or administrative proceedings, which may involve substantial claims for damages or other payments. Such lawsuits, investigations or proceedings may arise, in particular, from relationships with investors, tenants, employees, building contractors and other contractual counterparties as well as public authorities, including tax authorities. Adverse judgments or determinations in such lawsuits, investigations or proceedings may require the Group to change the way we do business or use substantial resources in adhering to settlements or pay fines or other penalties. In addition, the costs related to such proceedings may be significant and, even if there is a positive outcome, we may still have to bear part or all of advisory and other costs to the extent they are not reimbursable by other parties.

Subject to the restrictions in senior secured loan facilities, the Bonds, and other outstanding debt, the Group may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, some of which could also be secured. In addition, the senior secured loan facilities do not, and the Indenture will not, prohibit the Group from incurring additional debt, including secured debt, or from repurchasing the Notes.
To the extent that the Group incurs additional debt or such other obligations, the risk associated with its debt described above, including possible inability to service debt, will increase.
Furthermore, subject to compliance with the terms of the Notes, additional debt that the Group incurs may be guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries or secured, with the result being that the Notes may be structurally or effectively subordinated to such additional debt. Accordingly, in any insolvency, the creditors under such structurally or effectively senior debt will generally be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of such subsidiary before the Issuer, as such subsidiary's direct or indirect shareholder, will be entitled to receive any distributions from such subsidiary.
The Group's ability to make scheduled payments to meet its other debt service obligations or to refinance its debt depends on its future operating and financial performance and ability to generate cash. The Issuer is dependent upon the cash flow from its operating subsidiaries in the form of dividends or other distributions or payments to meet its obligations, including the obligations under the Notes.
The operating performance and financial condition of such operating subsidiaries and the ability of such subsidiaries to provide funds to the Issuer will be affected by Group's ability to successfully implement its business strategy, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, technical and other factors beyond its control. The operating subsidiaries may not generate enough income and cash flow sufficient to enable the Group to meet its payment obligations under the Notes.
If the Group cannot generate sufficient cash to meet its debt service obligations, including the Notes, or fund our other business needs, the Group may, among other things, need to refinance all or a portion of its debt, including the Notes, obtain additional financing, delay planned acquisitions, capital expenditures and capital allocation or sell assets.
The senior secured loan facilities, the Existing Polish Bonds and other outstanding debt agreements limit, and the Indenture will limit, Group's flexibility to operate its business and engage in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to the Group. For example, certain of these agreements restrict the Issuer's ability to, among other things:
or
• merge, consolidate or sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.
All of these limitations currently are and will be subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. The Group's senior secured loans and existing Polish bonds also require that certain financial ratios be met and certain financial covenants be observed. For example, the Issuer is required to maintain a minimum capital ratio of 35% under the Existing Polish Bonds.
Furthermore, borrowers certain of Group's senior secured loan facilities are required to maintain a minimum DSCR of 1.2. The Group's ability to comply with these covenants and ratios and to meet these tests is dependent on its future performance, which will be subject to many factors, some of which are beyond the Group's control, including prevailing economic conditions. Group's failure to comply with these obligations could lead to a default under the senior secured loan facilities or the Existing Polish Bonds unless Group can obtain waivers or consents in respect of any breaches of these obligations under these credit facilities. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in the senior secured loan facilities, the Existing Polish Bonds, the Indenture and certain of Group's other debt agreements may adversely affect ability to finance its future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in its interest. In addition to limiting Group's flexibility in operating its business, a breach of the covenants in the senior secured loan facilities, the Notes or the inability to comply with the required financial ratios could cause a default under the terms of each of those agreements, causing all the debt under those agreements to be accelerated. If any of the Group's debt is accelerated, Group may not have sufficient funds available to repay such debt, which could materially and negatively affect its financial condition and results of operation and, consequently, its ability to service, or otherwise make payments on, the Notes.
The terms of the Green Bond will provide that if, at any time following the date of the issuance date, the Issuer receives any two of the following ratings (a) Baa3 or higher by Moody's, (b) BBB- or higher from S&P or (c) BBBor higher from Fitch, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, beginning on that day, certain covenants will cease to be applicable to the Notes. Please see "Description of the Notes— Suspension of certain covenants when Notes rated investment grade."
If these covenants were to cease to be applicable, the Group would be able to incur additional indebtedness or make payments, including dividends or investments, which may conflict with the interests of holders of the Notes.

MLP Group's strategic goal is to continuously expand its warehouse space portfolio in the European market, specifically in Poland, Germany, Austria, and Romania.
The Group aims to achieve its strategic objectives by constructing the following types of buildings:
(1) big-box warehouse facilities, primarily addressing e-commerce growth and increased demand from light industry customers, driven by such factors as relocation of production from Asia to Europe; and
2) city logistics projects as assets with a high potential for growth driven by rapid growth of the e-commerce business; The Group responds to this demand by offering: smaller warehouse units (ranging from 700 sqm to 2,500 sqm), located within or close to city boundaries with easy access to labour and public transport.
The strategic goals of MLP Group were announced in Current Reports No. 10/2024 of 28 March 2024 and 10/2024/K of 4 March 2024.
According to the Statistics Poland (GUS) data, Gross Domestic Product in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by 3.2% year on year. Compared with the third quarter, the increase was 1.3%. The average annual inflation rate was 3.6% in 2024 (compared with 11.4% in 2023).
MLP Group has taken measures to mitigate various risks, including the current high prices. The Group's commercial rents are automatically adjusted based on the HICP inflation index, as stipulated in the contracts with tenants. MLP Group is also resilient to currency risk thanks to a natural hedging strategy, as rents are expressed or denominated in the euro, which is also the currency of contracts with general contractors and financial liabilities. Moreover, the property portfolio is also valued in the euro. With respect to its interest rate risk exposure, the Group has in place an IRS or fixed interest rate locked in for five years to hedge cash flows related to repayment of its credit facilities. The hedging covers 80% of liabilities under the Group's credit facility agreements.
MLP Group is optimistic about the future of the warehouse market in all the countries where it operates. Demand for state-of-the-art warehouse and manufacturing space remains high. Russia's aggression in Ukraine is leading to shorter supply chains, higher levels of warehouse stocks, and relocation of production from conflict zones. Ukrainian businesses and international companies operating in Ukraine will relocate warehouses to other countries, including Poland. Also, foreign companies are withdrawing from the Russian market. This will increase demand for warehouse and logistics space in Poland and other markets served by MLP Group.
The Polish industrial property market continues to grow rapidly, as evidenced by 2.6 million sqm of modern warehouse space delivered in 2024. The total stock of warehouse space already amounts to 34.5 million sqm, of which as many as 15.8 million sqm are projects delivered over the last five years. In 2025, the new supply will be lower than in previous years, but still significant (approximately 1.8 million sqm).
Total demand in 2024 reached 5.828 million sqm, up 4% year on year, with no major change in the contract structure. As in 2023, new contracts and expansions accounted for approximately 58% of lease transactions. 42% of the lease transaction volume consisted of renegotiations. The sectors with the largest share of demand included retail and e-commerce (38%), logistics and distribution (32%), production and automotive (16%).
Low speculative supply and strong demand in the fourth quarter (2.03 million sqm) led to a 0.5pp drop in the vacancy rate, which reached 7.5% at the end of December 2024 (up 0.1pp year on year).
Monthly base rents remained stable at EUR 3.20–5.75 per sqm for big-box warehouses and EUR 4.00–8.25 per sqm for SBU/city logistics projects.

In the German industrial and logistics property market, demand remained suppressed throughout 2024. The total lease volume was 4.9 million sqm, down by approximately 8% year on year. However, this decline was much less significant than in 2023, when the lease volume fell by 35%.
Similarly to the previous year, the number of completed projects continued to decrease, with the total completed space shrinking to 3.7 million sqm. Currently, approximately 4 million sqmm of warehouse space is under construction, indicating that the situation is not expected to worsen further in 2025.
Despite the sharp decline in newly completed warehouse space and cautious demand from tenants, the vacancy rate nationwide rose to 3% by the end of 2024. In the case of big box facilities, the vacancy rate reached 3.4%. The upward trend slowed significantly throughout the year, and the situation is expected to continue stabilising in 2025.
Investment activity in the German industrial and logistics property market reached EUR 7.7 billion, marking a 7% increase compared to the previous year. This makes this segment the most important asset class in the commercial property market. As many German investors maintain a cautious stance, this strong result is largely attributed to foreign investors, who have expanded their engagement. They accounted for 78% of the total volume, an increase of 26 percentage points. This trend clearly highlights the strong confidence international investors have in the German market.

By the end of 2024, the stock of modern industrial and logistics space in Romania reached 7.9 million sqm. The annual supply of new space was approximately 690,000 sqm of leasable space, up 40% year on year.
The regional distribution of modern warehouse stock clearly positions Bucharest as the country's logistics and industrial hub, accounting for 47% of the total leasable space. In 2024, with the addition of 192,100 sqm, the total space of modern industrial warehouse facilities in Bucharest reached 3.7 million sqm. It is expected that in 2025, the inventory of modern warehouse space in the country will increase by an additional 265,500 sqm of leasable space, taking into account projects under construction at the end of 2024.
As at the end of the fourth quarter, the total vacancy rate for modern warehouse space fell to 4.0%, from 5.6% at the end of the first half of the year. In Bucharest, the vacancy rate is slightly higher, reaching 5%, compared to 3.2% in regional cities.
In 2024, 880,400 sqm of space was contracted as part of the total leasing activity (TLA). This is slightly lower than the historical highs reached in 2022 and 2023, when annual lease volumes exceeded 1 million sqm.
In 2024, monthly rents at the best facilities rose by EUR 0.25/sqm. to EUR 4.75/sqm at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the rents remained stable. Given the high development costs, steady demand, and the decline in the number of speculative projects, it is expected that rents for the best properties will rise in 2025.

In 2024, approximately 474,000 sqm of new space was built in the Austrian market, while demand was around 137,000 sqm. For the first time since 2020 and for the second time in the last eight years, the number of completed projects significantly exceeded the level of demand for lease.
Approximately 145,000 sqm of new space is expected to be completed in 2025. Speculative construction of new facilities is limited, as developers are increasingly starting projects only after securing a certain level of initial lease commitment.
The vacancy rate is expected to increase further from the 4.75% recorded in April 2024. Luxury locations remain in high demand, with interest in new projects primarily focused on these areas.
At the end of the previous year, the monthly rent was EUR 7.10/sqm, up 2.2% on 2023. By the end of 2025, it is expected to reach EUR 7.25/sqm. Rent for logistics properties in the city centre is expected to be higher due to lower supply.

As at 31 December 2024, the Group's investment property, comprising logistics projects, continued as the key item of the Group's assets, accounting for 86% of total assets. Liabilities under borrowings and other debt instruments and equity were the largest items of total equity and liabilities, representing 49% and 42% of the total, respectively. The increase in liabilities under borrowings and other debt instruments was mainly attributable to:
(i) the issue of new Series G notes worth EUR 41 million on 8 March 2024,
(ii) the issue of notes with a total nominal value of EUR 300 million on 9 October 2024,
(iii) the execution of a new credit facility agreement with ING Bank Śląski S.A. in April 2024 by the subsidiaries MLP Poznań and MLP Poznań II; the facility amount is EUR 15.2 million (including EUR 13.3 million to refinance existing debt),
(iv) the execution of an amendment to the credit facility agreement by the subsidiary MLP Pruszków V Sp. z o.o. with BNP Paribas Bank in September 2024; a credit facility tranche of EUR 11.2 million was disbursed in 2024 .
At the same time, the Group:
(i) redeemed EUR 20 million worth of Series D notes at maturity,
(ii) redeemed EUR 4 million worth of Series E notes on 15 October 2024,
(iii) made an early redemption of EUR 29 million worth of Series F notes on 25 November 2024,
(iv) made a full prepayment of debt for a total principal amount of EUR 67.4 million, including accrued interest and other fees related to the prepayment, in respect of credit facilities taken out by MLP Pruszków VI, MLP Czeladź, MLP Łódź, II, MLP Pruszków II, and MLP Bucharest West SRL. The prepayment took place in October 2024.

According to valuations made as at 31 December 2024, the total value of the Group's property portfolio was EUR 1,285,526 thousand (PLN 5,493,053 thousand), having increased by EUR 254,513 thousand relative to 31 December 2023. The change was primarily driven by (i) the completion and partial delivery of 93 thousand sqm of new space in Poland, and (ii) the construction of new buildings with a total area of 156 thousand sqm in Poland and Austria.



The higher valuation of existing buildings in 2024 was driven by: (i) valuation of properties that were transferred from construction in progress in 2023 to existing buildings (EUR 111,304 thousand), and (ii) a EUR 6,413 thousand increase in the valuation of existing buildings.

Equity
Net assets (NAV)



As at 31 December 2024, the net asset value was PLN 2,746,186 thousand, up by PLN 350,558 thousand (15%).
EBIT excluding the effect of revaluation was PLN 183,620 thousand as at 31 December 2024, having increased by 3% year on year (2023: PLN 177,013 thousand).

Factoring out the negative effect of foreign exchange differences on rental income, caused by the appreciation of the złoty against the euro, the improvement in EBIT would have been 13%, with rental income, denominated in the euro, as a key contributor to this result. If the 2024 rental income was converted at the average exchange rate for 2023, it would be PLN 25 million higher, as shown in the charts below.

The primary factors driving the amount of liabilities under borrowings and other debt instruments, and other liabilities were:

Almost 85% of the credit facilities (and 80% bank loans and bonds) are hedged with IRS contracts for the next four years, resulting in limited exposure of interest rate fluctuations.

Rental income from investment properties is the main source of the Group's revenue. In 2024, rental income was PLN 214,802 thousand, having increased by 6.9% year on year. The rise in rental income (up PLN 13,928 thousand) was primarily due to: (i) the delivery of a total of 225 thousand sqm of leased space in 2024, (ii) the renewal of lease agreements expiring in 2024, and (iii) the indexation of rents (5.4%).
The 11% decrease in revenue and 5% reduction in costs were a result of lower energy prices.Additionally, the gas price for 2023 was contracted before the outbreak of the war in Ukraine at a very attractive price, and after the increase in gas prices, MLP Group was able to achieve a high margin on gas sales in 2023. Such a situation did not occur in 2024, when gas prices stabilized.


MLP Group S.A. Group • Consolidated report for the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 Management Board's Report on the activities of the MLP Group S.A. Group in the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 (all data in PLN thousand unless stated otherwise)

| Other recharged costs | (48) | (219) | -78,1% |
| Distribution costs and administrative expenses | (190 519) | (171 504) | 11,1% |
In 2024, distribution costs and administrative expenses amounted to PLN 190,519 thousand, representing a year-on-year increase of 11%. These costs include (i) costs of consumables and energy used, (ii) services, (iii) taxes and charges. The costs of consumables and energy used include the cost of utilities that are recharged to tenants. The main components of taxes and charges are property tax and usufruct charges, which are also recharged to tenants. Services include two cost groups: (i) property maintenance services, recharged to tenants, (ii) and services recognised as part of administrative expenses.

*The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the creation of a provision for variable remuneration of the Management Board (as the financial indicators were not met for 2023, no provision was made), and disbursement of an additional bonus to the Executive Board
The 5% (PLN 3,739 thousand) decrease in utility costs was attributable to a decrease in electricity purchase prices.
The 18% (PLN 11,485 thousand) growth in property maintenance costs was primarily due to a PLN 5,800 thousand rise in property tax expenses, of which 58% was attributable to the larger volume of space completed in 2023 (with tax payable from 2024), and the remaining 42% was due to higher property tax rates. Other factors behind the increase in property maintenance costs included: PLN 1,000 thousand increase in insurance costs, PLN 1,800 thousand increase in technical maintenance costs, and PLN 2,100 thousand increase in security and cleaning costs, reflecting the larger volume of space completed and the rise of the minimum statutory wages in 2024.
The Group also incurs administrative expenses and business development costs associated with its development activities. In 2024, administrative expenses and business development costs amounted to PLN 45,649 thousand, having increased by PLN 11,094 thousand year on year. In 2024, this item included costs of advisory, banking and consultancy services, costs of audit, valuations and marketing, IT expenses, and salaries and wages. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to:
(i) payment of PLN 2,044 thousand as an additional bonus to the Management Board,
(ii) recognition of a PLN 5,012 thousand provision for variable remuneration of the Management Board (financial targets were not met for 2023 and no provision was recognised),
(iii) PLN 1,386 thousand increase in salaries and wages including employer paid contributions and benefits,
(iv) PLN 3,000 thousand increase in other administrative expenses and business development costs
In 2024, the Group reported net finance costs of PLN 88,459 thousand, being chiefly the effect of foreign exchange gains (PLN 24,580 thousand), interest on borrowings (PLN 84,639 thousand), and interest on notes (PLN 52,271 thousand).
In 2024, gain on revaluation of investment property of PLN 359,376 thousand was mainly attributable to:

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | 668 055 | 344 247 |
In 2024, the Group reported positive operating cash flows of PLN 92,187 thousand. As at the end of 2024, a year on-year drop in investment commitments, higher VAT and CIT receivables, as well as the recognition in 2024 of an asset under recorded operating lease payments led to a PLN 84,247 thousand decrease in cash for 2024 relative to 2023.
The Group reported negative cash flows from investing activities of PLN 685,072 thousand in 2024. In the corresponding period of 2023, negative cash flows from investing activities amounted to PLN 486,866 thousand. The largest expenditures incurred by the Group were outlays on the development of logistics parks in Poland as well as purchases of land at new locations, totalling more than PLN 692,875 thousand.
The largest expenditure item in both periods consists of capital expenditures on projects executed by the Group.
In 2024, the Group's cash flows from financing activities were positive, at PLN 912 million. The excess of financing cash inflows over outflows was mainly attributable to:
an excess of proceeds from new issues: Series G notes with the nominal amount of EUR 41.0 million and green notes of EUR 300 million (total: PLN 1,473 million), over redeemed Series E, D, and F notes with a total nominal value of EUR 53 million (PLN 229 million),
the refinancing of two projects, new credit facilities contracted and repayments of existing credit debt, resulting in a net positive cash flow of PLN 75 million,
a full prepayment of debt for a total principal amount of EUR 67.4 million (PLN 299 million), including accrued interest and other fees related to the prepayment, in respect of credit facilities taken out by MLP Pruszków VI, MLP Czeladź, MLP Łódź, II, MLP Pruszków II, and MLP Bucharest West SRL. The prepayment took place in October 2024.
The Management Board of MLP Group S.A. does not see any indications that the previously published forecasts of financial liabilities as at the end of 2024 may fail to be met considering the data disclosed in this quarterly report relative to the forecast presented in Current Report 5/2024.

Below are the details explaining the circumstances and reasons for this non-compliance.
The Management Board of the Company recognises the significance of corporate governance principles to guarantee clarity in the Company's internal and external relations, especially with its current and potential shareholders. In accordance with the requirements set out in Par. 29.3 of the WSE Rules, the Company hereby declares that during the financial year ended 31 December 2024 it applied all corporate governance regulations outlined in the 'Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies', except for:

The participation of men and women depends on the competencies, skills and effectiveness of each individual. Hiring decisions do not depend on the gender of the candidate. Therefore, the Company cannot ensure a balanced participation of women and men in the total number of employees. Consequently, the equal pay index for remuneration paid to employees would not be reliable.
1.5. Companies disclose at least on an annual basis the amounts expensed by the company and its group in support of culture, sports, charities, the media, social organisations, trade unions, etc. If the company or its group pay such expenses in the reporting year, the disclosure presents a list of such expenses.
The Group supports charitable institutions but does not publish detailed information regarding that support.

The principle has been complied with, except for the provisions related to gender.
2.2.

The effectiveness of management and supervisory functions within the Company's structures depends on the competence and skills of its personnel. Appointments of key managers and members of the management and supervisory bodies are made without regard to gender or age.
2.11. In addition to its responsibilities laid down in the legislation, the supervisory board prepares and presents an annual report to the annual general meeting once per year Such report includes at least the following:
2.11.1. Information about the members of the supervisory board and its committees, including indication of those supervisory board members who fulfil the criteria of being independent referred to in the Act of 11 May 2017 on Auditors, Audit Firms and Public Supervision and those supervisory board members who have no actual and material relations with any shareholder who holds at least 5% of the total vote in the company, and information about the members of the supervisory board in the context of diversity;

2.11.6. information regarding the degree of implementation of the diversity policy applicable to the management board and the supervisory board, including the achievement of goals referred to in principle 2.1.
Explanation of the reasons for the non-compliance:
The Company will take measures to ensure compliance with the principle in the future.
3.2. Companies' organisation includes units responsible for the tasks of individual systems and functions unless it is not reasonable due to the size of the company or the type of its activity.
Explanation of the reasons for the non-compliance:
Due to the small size of the company and its organisational structure, the Company does not have separate units responsible for individual systems or functions.
3.10. Companies participating in the WIG20, mWIG40 or sWIG80 index have the internal audit function reviewed at least once every five years by an independent auditor appointed with the participation of the audit committee.

The other members of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board have no direct holdings in the Company's share capital.
In 2024, there were no major changes in the key management policies. The development of the organisation requires that management procedures applicable in MLP Group S.A. be improved on a continuous basis.
The Company's Management Board is responsible for the internal control system and its effectiveness in the process of preparing financial statements and reports required to be prepared and published pursuant to the Minister of Finance's Regulation on current and periodic information to be published by issuers of securities and conditions for recognition as equivalent of information whose disclosure is required under the laws of a nonmember state, dated 29 March 2018 (Dz.U. of 2018, item 757, as amended).
The Audit Committee directly oversees the effectiveness of the internal control, internal audit and risk management systems and monitors the financial reporting process.
The efficiency and proper functioning of the internal control and risk management system are ensured through:
The overlapping of and interactions between individual features of the internal control system in several areas, such as:
not only guarantee the efficiency of the internal control system but also support the management processes across the entire Group.
The main features of the system of internal control and risk management pertaining to the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements include in particular:
The persons responsible for the preparation of financial statements within the financial and management reporting functions are highly qualified staff of the Finance Division, managed directly by the CFO and indirectly by the Management Board.
In accordance with the applicable laws, the Group presents its financial statements for review or audit, as applicable, by a renown and highly qualified independent auditor. In the course of an independent audit, employees of the Finance Division involved in the preparation of the financial statements provide all necessary information and clarifications.
The Company's controlling function, with internal control as its primary and significant component, is based on the budget system. The Company reviews its short-, medium- and long-term plans on an annual basis, with a detailed budget for the next year prepared for:
The Group's financial and accounting system is a source of data for the Group's entire reporting system, i.e.:
After accounting books are closed, budget performance reports and forecasts are prepared. For the reporting periods ended, the Group's financial results are analysed in detail in the context of the original budget assumptions.
The key element of the process is to monitor deviations from the plan and explain the underlying causes. Monitoring of the deviations and identification of the causes help to optimise the Group's operations and minimise potential risks. Due to the nature of the industry, analyses are conducted on many levels – not only are individual cost groups reviewed, but also individual projects are analysed on a case-by-case basis. Based on these reports, the Company's Management Board analyses the current financial results by comparing them with the original budgets.
Effective internal control (with its reporting functions) is an essential step in risk identification and change management. Effective risk management involves not only a reporting system but also risk analysis. Therefore, the key objective of the Group's efforts to reduce exposure to risk is to properly assess potential and monitor current projects. Any potential changes in project budgets are reflected in profit and cash-flow forecasts to provide a high-level overview and eliminate not only project risks but also other risks, such liquidity or currency risks. Such high-level management and monitoring of risks and internal controls in all areas relevant to the organisation largely eliminates most of the risks to which the Group is exposed.
