Summary

  • Montea's EPRA earnings1 for the first 6 months of 2017 amount to €13 million, slightly down from the EPRA earnings for the same period in 2016 (€ 13.7 million), due mainly to a drop in the net rental income from €20.9 million at the end of Q2 2016 to €20.0 million at the end of Q2 2017, or €0.9 million as a result of a higher severance compensation received from Neovia Logistics in 2016 (€2.3 million) compared with the once-off severance compensation received from SAS Automotive in Q1 2017 as a result of the closing (€1.3 million). The loss of rent as a result of the 2 French properties at the end of 2016 and the third French property in March 2017 is offset by the rental income generated from investments made later in 2016 and the beginning of 2017. The EPRA earnings per share2 dropped to €1.31 for H1 2017 compared to €1.45 for H1 2016.
  • The fair value of the property portfolio increased by €64.9 million (11.0 %) to €617.2 million at the end of Q2 2017 compared with €552.3 million at the end of 2016. The fair value of the Belgian, French and Dutch property portfolio amounted to €326.9 million, €94.0 million and €196.3 million respectively.

The growth in the fair value in Belgium is due chiefly to the acquisition of the Willebroek site (let to Metro Group) in Q1, the delivery of the Brucargo site, let to Saco, the purchase of the Brucargo site let to DHL Aviation and the development of the project for Mainfreight in Genk in Q2. The fair value of the existing portfolio remained stable as a whole.

In France, the fair value of the property portfolio dropped after the sale of the third and last building (situated in Savigny-le-Temple and let to Le Piston Français) in Q1; partially offset by the acquisition of the Alfortville site (let to Brardt), the launch of the development of the buildings located in Camphin (let to DSM and GBS) in Q2, and the positive impact of an increase of the fair value of the existing portfolio. The increase in the real value of the property portfolio in the Netherlands is due mainly to the

development of the project in Aalsmeer, let to Scotch & Soda in Q1, the launch of the enlargement project in Waddinxveen let to Delta Wines, and the acquisition of the Brakman site in Tilburg, let to NSK in Q2.

In accordance with the guidelines recently adopted by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the Alternative Performance Measures (APM) used henceforth by Montea are indicated with an asterisk (*) the first time they are mentioned in this press release, and then defined in a footnote. The reader is thereby apprised of the definition of an APM. The performance measures stipulated by IFRS rules or by law as well as the measures which are not based on the headings of the balance sheet or the income statement are not considered as APMs.

The detailed calculation of the EPRA performance measures and of other APMs that are used by Montea, are indicated in Chapter 1.8 and 1.9 of this press release.

1 Corresponds to the former name "Net Current Earnings." The description of Net Current Result was changed upon the entry into force of the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures to core net earnings, i.e. the EPRA earnings. The use of the term 'current' is forbidden for the time being. The name was consequently changed to "core net earnings" and corresponds to the EPRA earnings as stipulated in the 'Best Practice Recommendations' of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).

2 The EPRA earnings per share refer to earnings based on the weighted average number of shares, which does not correspond to the former heading "net current earnings per share," since Montea has always used the number of shares entitled to dividends as a basis.

(0) Cf. Section 1.4.5 Change of valuation rule and Annex 11. The grey cells were adjusted as a result of the change in the valuation rules. The equity was not affected. Furthermore, this adjustment has no impact on the EPRA earnings and the distributable profit. (1) Inclusive of real estate intended for sale.

(2) Accounting value according to the IAS/IFRS rules, exclusive of real estate intended for own use.

(3) Value of the portfolio without deduction of transfer costs.

(4) The occupancy rate is based on the number of m². In calculating this occupancy rate, the non-leasable m² intended for

(re)development in the land bank have not been included in either the denominator or the numerator.

(5) * The operating margin is obtained by dividing the operating result before the earnings from the property portfolio by the net rental earnings. Cf. Section 5.

(6) * Financial result (exclusive of variations in the fair value of the financial instruments): this is the financial result according to the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on the regulated real estate companies exclusive of the variation in the fair value of the financial instruments, and reflects the actual financing cost of the company. Cf. Section 5.

(7) * EPRA earnings concern the underlying earnings from the core activities and indicate the degree to which the current dividend payments are supported by the profit. These earnings are calculated as the net earnings (IFRS) exclusive of the earnings from the portfolio and the variations in the fair value of financial instruments. Cf. www.epra.com and Section 4.

(2) (8) * EPRA earnings per share concern the EPRA earnings on the basis of the weighted average number of shares. Cf. www.epra.com and Section 4.

The EPRA earnings per share concern the EPRA earnings on the basis of the weighted average number of shares, which does not correspond to the previous heading "Net current earnings per share," because Montea always uses the number of shares entitled to dividend as a basis. Accordingly, the EPRA earnings per share changed from € 1.38 to € 1.45 for 30/06/2016.

(9) * Result on the portfolio: this concerns the negative and/or positive variations in the fair value of the property portfolio, plus any capital gains or losses from the construction of real estate. Cf. Section 5.

(10) Variations in the fair value of hedging instruments: this concerns the negative and/or positive variations in the fair value of the interest hedging instruments according to IAS 39.

(11) IFRS NAV: Net Asset Value for profit distribution for the current financial year in accordance with the IFRS balance sheet. The IFRS NAV per share is calculated by dividing the equity capital by the number of shares entitled to dividends on the balance sheet date.

(12) * EPRA NAV: The EPRA NAV is the NAV that was adjusted so as to comprise also property and other investments and their fair value, which excludes certain items which are not expected to assume a fixed form in a business model with property investments in the long term. Cf. www.epra.com and Section 4.

(13) Debt ratio according to the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate companies.

(14) * EPRA NAV per share: The EPRA NAV per share concerns the EPRA NAV on the basis of the number of shares entitled to dividends on the balance sheet date. Cf. www.epra.com and Section 4.

(15) * EPRA NNNAV: This is the EPRA NAV that was adjusted so as to comprise also the fair value of financial instruments, debts and deferred taxes. The EPRA NNNAV per share concerns the EPRA NNNAV on the basis of the number of shares entitled to dividends on the balance sheet date. Cf. also www.epra.com and Section 4.

1.2 Significant events and transactions during the first half year of 2017 in Belgium, France and the Netherlands

1.2.1 EPRA earnings amounted to €13.0 million, slightly down from the figure during the same period the previous year, which amounted to €13.7 million

Montea's EPRA earnings for the first 6 months of 2017 amounted to €13.0 million and were slightly down from the EPRA earnings for Q2 2016 which amounted to 13.7 million. The most important changes are:

o A drop of the net rental income from € 20.9 million at the end of Q2 2016 to €20.0 million at the end of Q2 2017 or €0.9 million as a result of a higher severance compensation received from Neovia Logistics in 2016 (€2.3 million) compared with the once-off severance compensation from SAS Automotive in Q1 2017 as a result of the closure (€ 1.3 million).

The loss of rent resulting from the sale of 2 French buildings in 2016 and the third French building in March 2017 is offset by the rental income received from investments made later in 2016 and the beginning of 2017.

  • o The drop in the net rental income is more than offset, mainly by the once-off fee received in April 2017 for the delivery of the building in Brucargo developed for DHL Aviation NV (€0.9 million), the repayment for the extra works financed by Montea for the same tenant (€0.2 million), extra income from solar panels (€0.3 million) and other income such as compensation and fees received from tenants during the construction phase (€ 0.5 million) which led to an increase in the property result of €1.0 million (from € 21.0 million at the end of Q2 2016 to € 22.0 million at the end of Q2 2017).
  • o The property costs and overheads rose by €0.2 million and €0.3 million respectively as a result of the growth of the portfolio which led to an increase in the operating property result before the result on the property portfolio of €0.6 million (from €18.6 million at the end of Q2 2016 to €19.2 million at the end of Q2 2017).
  • o A higher negative financial result exclusive of the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments of €0.6 million (€5.4 million during the first 6 months of 2017 compared with €4.8 million during the same period the previous year) as a result of a higher hedge ratio in 2017 (93.5% at the end of Q2 2017) compared with 2016 (73% at the end of Q2 2016) whereby the EPRA earnings before taxes remained stable (€13.8 million).
  • o More taxes paid or to be paid for the period Q2 2017 (€0.8 million) compared with the same period in 2016 (€0.1 million) mainly as a result of the exit tax paid which was more than originally foreseen. The EPRA earnings dropped by €0.7 million as a result (from € 13.7 million at the end of Q2 2016 to € 13.0 million at the end of Q2 2017).

The increase in the operating margin from 89.4% for the first 6 months of 2016 to 95.9% for the same period for 2017 is chiefly the result of the once-off fee received for the delivery of the building in Brucargo developed for DHL Aviation NV (€ 0.9 million). The operating margin for the first half of 2017 would have amounted to 90.9% without the once-off fees.

The EPRA earnings per share (€ 1.31) dropped for the first half of 2017 compared with the EPRA earnings per share (€ 1.45) for the first half of 2016.

1.2.2 Investment activity during the first half of 2017

30/03/2017 - Montea acquires ca 14,000 m²of logistics floor space at MG Park De Hulst in Willebroek (BE), let to Metro Cash & Carry Belgium NV (Metro group) 3

Montea «Space for Growth» -Site Willebroek (BE)

This operation represents a total investment value of €8.8 million (in line with the fair value determined by the property expert) and will generate a gross initial yield of ca. 7.1%.

In 2014 Montea had already developed a customised 3,500 m² distribution centre for Metro in Vorst (BE). Metro signed a lease for that facility with a fixed term of 27 years.

A lease has been concluded for the site in Willebroek with a fixed term of 10 years. Metro Cash & Carry Belgium is part of the international Metro group, which is active in 35 countries and one of the largest international retailers (www.metro.be - www.metrogroup.de).

The building was planned directly at the entrance of Brucargo, the logistics hotspot of Brussels Airport for cargo handling.

DHL, the world leader in transport and logistics and "the logistics company for the world," will rent this extremely strategic building for its worldwide network for a fixed period of 15 years. The new hub will replace the current outdated building and will quadruple the existing capacity, from 12,000 to 39,000 shipments per hour, thanks to the advanced automation of the sorting techniques used.

Montea has once again concluded a long term superficies agreement with the Brussels Airport Company. This transaction represents a total investment value of € 30.5 million and will generate a gross initial yield of ca. 7.3%.

10/04/2017 - Delivery of build-to-suit project of approx. 5,000 m² for SACO Groupair – Investment value of € 3.6 million5

In June 2016 SACO Groupair signed an agreement to work with Montea on the construction and lease of a new state-of-the-art airfreight building with adjoining offices at Brucargo. The Cordeel group was responsible for the development of this new complex, which is made up of approx. 4,200 m² of warehousing and some 800 m² of office space.

SACO Groupair is a well-established forwarder. Its head office is in Hamburg and the company, which has already been operating for some years at Brucargo (www.sacogroupair.com), has signed a lease agreement with a fixed term of nine years. In total, the site will employ around 35 people and will enable the group to grow rapidly.

This transaction represents a total investment value of € 3.6 million and will generate a gross initial yield of approximately 7.8%.

Montea «Space for Growth» -Site Saco Groupair (BE)

Airports have developed into the most important growth drivers for the economies of the 21st century.

The new build projects mentioned above are part of The Brussels Airport Company's "2040" growth plan aimed at increasing the efficiency of the logistics chain on the airport by accommodating future growth and replacing old buildings with a modern, energy-efficient infrastructure.

Steven Polmans, Head of Cargo & Logistics: "Today, Brussels Airport is already Belgium's number two economic engine and its importance in the economy will only grow further. Airports will emerge as the most important economic driver more than ever before in the 21st century, and will attract companies and services directly and indirectly. Cargo and logistics constitute an important pillar in our 2040 strategy, so the modernisation operation launched at Brucargo a few years ago will only pick up team. These two developments are fine examples of how we can develop Brucargo further together with our customers and partners. Our ultimate goal is to turn Brucargo into the most efficient and smart logistics zone of Europe".

The development will be operational in the first quarter of 2018. The transaction represents a total investment value of € 11.2 million. Upon letting the third unit, which Montea expects to conclude before the building is delivered in the beginning of 2018, this distribution centre will generate an additional rent of € 740,440.

For the development of the second building (24,000 m²) we refer to the section events after 30/06/2017.

31/05/2017 – First pile of ultramodern distribution centre for Carglass® Western Europe driven in12

Carglass® and Montea inaugurated the start of the works on their ultramodern, multi-modal distribution centre in Bilzen in festive style today and drove in the symbolic first pile of the new building, which will play host to more than 225 workers in the year to come. The first pile was driven in by mayor Frieda Brepoels (N-VA), in

the presence of Richard Tyler (Belron), Guido De Paepe (Carglass), Jo De Wolf (Montea) and children of Carglass employees as a symbol of the future-oriented nature of this project. All logistics and distribution activities, which are now spread over four locations in Hasselt and Genk, will be centralised in the brand new and extremely sustainable site.

Ultramodern distribution centre in Bilzen

Montea develops and finances the entire project, which will consist of 41,932 m² of storage space and 2,874 m² of office space. In less than a year, the new construction will be finalized and the first vehicle glasses will be in stock. Carglass® will employ some 225 people there and has announced that it will recruit extra personnel in the near future. The transaction represents a total investment amount of app. € 25 million and will be delivered in Q3 2018.

The fair value of the property portfolio increased by €64.9 million (11.0 %) to €617.2 million at the end of Q2 2017 compared with €552.3 million at the end of 2016. The fair value of the Belgian, French and Dutch property portfolio amounted to €326.9 million, €94.0 million and €196.3 million respectively.

The growth in the fair value in Belgium is due chiefly to the acquisition of the Willebroek site (let to Metro Group) in Q1, the delivery of the Brucargo site, let to Saco, the purchase of the Brucargo site let to DHL Aviation and the development of the project for Mainfreight in Genk in Q2. The fair value of the existing portfolio remained stable as a whole.

In France, the fair value of the property portfolio dropped after the sale of the third and last building (situated in Savigny-le-Temple and let to Le Piston Français) in Q1; partially offset by the acquisition of the Alfortville site (let to Brardt), the launch of the development of the buildings located in Camphin (let to DSM and GBS) in Q2, and the positive impact of an increase in the fair value of the existing portfolio.

The increase in the real value of the property portfolio in the Netherlands is due mainly to the development of the project in Aalsmeer, let to Scotch & Soda in Q1, the launch of the enlargement project in Waddinxveen let to Delta Wines, and the acquisition of the Brakman site in Tilburg, let to NSK in Q2.

  • The total floor space of the property portfolio for buildings amounts to 887,659 m², spread over 26 sites in Belgium, 14 in France and 11 in the Netherlands. The 13% increase (compared with 782,978 m² on 31 December 2016) is chiefly due to the acquisition of the Brucargo site, let to DHL Aviation, the purchase of the Willebroek site, let to Metro, the development of the Brucargo site, let to Saco, the acquisition of the Alfortville site, let to Brardt, the launch of the enlargement project, let to Delta wines, and the Brakman project in Tilburg, let to NSK.
  • Montea also has a total land bank of 201,385 m² of development potential on existing sites.
  • The gross return on real estate on the total property investments in buildings amounts to 7.52% on the basis of a fully rented portfolio, compared with 7.43% on 31/12/2016.
  • The contractual annual rental income (exclusive of rent guarantees) amounts to €42.8 million, up 10% compared with 31/12/2016, mainly attributable to the rental of newly acquired and delivered sites.
  • The occupancy rate amounts to 95.8%. 13 The vacancy concerns the building in Willebroek for which severance compensation was received in 2016 from Neovia Logistics and the building in Puurs formerly let to H&M. The building that was let to SAS Automotive, for which once-off severance compensation was received, has in the meantime been let to Bleckmann België NV.

13 The occupancy rate is based on the number of m². In calculating his occupancy rate, the non-leasable m² intended for (re)development in the land bank have not been included in either the denominator or the numerator.

(0) Cf. Section 1.4.5 Change of valuation rule and Annex 11. The grey cells were adjusted as a result of the change in the valuation rules. The equity was not affected. Furthermore, this adjustment has no impact on the EPRA earnings and the distributable profit.

(1) The EPRA earnings per share concern the EPRA earnings on the basis of the weighted average number of shares, which does not correspond to the previous heading "Net current earnings per share," because Montea always uses the number of shares entitled to dividend as a basis. Accordingly, the EPRA earnings per share changed from € 1.38 to € 1.45 for 30/06/2016.

14 The condensed financial statements have been subjected to a limited review by the auditor.

1.4.2 Notes on the consolidated profit-and-loss account (analytical) for the first half of the year closed on 30/06/2017

The net rental income amounted to €20.0 million, a drop of 4% compared with the previous year. The operating margin before the result on the property portfolio amounted to €19.2 million, an increase of 3% compared with the previous year

The net rental income amounted to €20.0 million, a drop of € 0.9 million compared with the end of Q2 2016 owing to a higher severance compensation received from Neovia Logistics in 2016 (€2.3 million) compared with the once-off compensation received from SAS Automotive in Q1 2017 as a result of the closure (€1.3 million).

The loss of rent as a result of the sale of the 2 French buildings at the end of 2016 and the third French building in March 2017 was offset by the rental income obtained from investments made later in 2016 and in the beginning of 2017.

The drop in the net rental income is more than offset, mainly by the once-off fee received in April 2017 for the delivery of the building in Brucargo developed for DHL Aviation NV (€0.9 million), the repayment for the extra works financed by Montea for the same tenant (€0.2 million), extra income from solar panels (€0.3 million) and other income such as compensation and fees received from tenants during the construction phase (€ 0.5 million) which led to an increase in the property result of €1.0 million (from € 21.0 million at the end of Q2 2016 to € 22.0 million at the end of Q2 2017).

The property costs and overheads rose by €0.2 million and €0.3 million respectively as a result of the growth of the portfolio which led to an increase in the operating property result before the result on the property portfolio of €0.6 million (from €18.6 million at the end of Q2 2016 to €19.2 million at the end of Q2 2017).

The higher net negative financial result (exclusive of the valuation of the hedging instruments) amounted to €5.4 million, an increase of €0.6 million compared to the same period the previous year.

A higher negative financial result exclusive of the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments of €0.6 million (€5.4 million during the first 6 months of 2017 compared with €4.8 million during the same period the previous year), whereby the EPRA earnings before taxes remained stable (€13.8 million).

The average financing cost15\* rose slightly from 3.0% for the first 6 months of 2016 to 3.3% for the first 6 months of 2017, as a result of the increase in hedging percentage (from 73% on 30/06/2016 to 93.5% on 30/06/2017).

More taxes paid or to be paid for the period Q2 2017 (€0.8 million) compared with the same period in 2016 (€0.1 million) resulted in a drop of the EPRA earnings at the end of Q2 2017 compared with the end of Q2 2016.

The operating margin amounted to 95.9%, compared with 89.4% during the same period the previous year. This increase is due mainly to the once-off fee received for the delivery of the building in Brucargo developed for DHL Aviation. The operating margin for the first half of 2017 would have amounted to 90.9% without the once-off fees.

15 *The average financing cost pertains to the weighted average interest rate on an annual basis for the reporting period, taking account of the average outstanding debts and hedge instruments during that period.

EPRA earnings of €13.0 million

The EPRA earnings amounted to €13.0 million for the first half of 2017, compared with €13.7 million for the same period last year.

EPRA earnings of €1.31 per share

The EPRA earnings per share dropped from €1.45 per share for the first half of 2016 to €1.31 per share for the first half of 2017.

Positive non-cash result of € 1.7 million determined by the earnings from the sale of the building in Savigny-le-Temple of €0.8 million, the positive change in the valuation of the hedging instruments of €4.8 million and the negative change in the valuation of the property portfolio of €3.9 million

The positive movement in the hedging instruments of €4.8 million is the result of the expected rise in longterm interest rates.

The negative movement in the fair value of the property portfolio of €3.9 million is chiefly the result of the adjustment of the valuation rules concerning the transaction costs. Cf. Section 1.4.5.

Net result amounted to €14.7 million

The net result on 30/06/2017 amounted to € 14.7 million (€ 1.48 per share) compared to €7.7 million (€0.81 per share) for the same period in 2016.

1.4.4 Notes on the consolidated balance sheet on 30/06/2017

  • On 30/06/2017, the total assets (€647.2 million) consisted mainly of investment property, developments and solar panels (95% of the total). The remaining assets consisted of intangible, other tangible and financial fixed assets and current assets, including cash investments, trading and tax receivables.
  • The total liabilities consisted of equity capital of €247.4 million and total debt of €399.7 million.

These total liabilities of € 399.7 million consist of:

  • Drawn down lines of credit: €240.2 million;
  • Drawn down bond loans: €109.3 million;
  • Outstanding leasing debt: €0.6 million;
  • Accumulated negative value of the hedging instruments: €20.0 million;
  • Trade debts, other debts and accruals: €29.6 million.
  • Montea currently has contracted lines of credit with six financial institutions for a total amount of €255 million, of which €241.7 million has been drawn down. All credit lines maturing in 2017 have been refinanced. Credit lines amounting to €26.7 million will mature in 2018.
  • The debt ratio16 amounted to 56.9%. The increase in the debt ratio is mainly attributable to further debt financing for the growth of the portfolio.
  • Montea also complies with all covenants in terms of the debt ratio that it has agreed with its financial institutions and bond holders, pursuant to which Montea's debt ratio may not exceed 60%.

16 Calculated according to the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate companies.

Development of the debt ratio at Montea

The consolidated debt ratio amounted to 56.9% on 30/06/2017. In historical terms, the debt ratio has been over 50% since 2008, reaching the highest level of 57.62% in mid-2010. An increase of capital was carried out on 2 July 2010 as a result of which the debt ratio dropped below 50%.

The debt ratio then climbed to 55.29% in September 2012. An increase of capital of €21.1 million was carried out on 20 December 2012 to finance the project for DHL Global Forwarding on Brucargo, thereby bringing the debt ratio down again to 50.80% in the first quarter of 2013.

Owing also to the dividend distribution, the acquisition of the shares of Evenstuk NV (for the property let to DSV Solutions) and the acquisition of the shares of Acer Parc NV (for the build-to-suit property let to St. Jude Medical), the debt ratio rose again to 52.82% on 31/12/2013.

An increase of capital was carried out in the first half of 2014 to anticipate the planned acquisitions and investments in the second half of 2014. These concern redevelopments at the sites of Grimbergen and Vorst, 3 build-to-suit projects in Belgium (2 on De Hulst in Willebroek and 1 on Brucargo) and 1 build-to-suit project in the Netherlands (Oss) and 2 sale-and-lease back transactions (Beuningen and Waddinxveen).

In the first half of 2015 it was decided to proceed to a contribution in kind (for the acquisition of Apeldoorn) and to an optional dividend to bring the debt ratio down in mid-2015 after the acquisitions of 's Heerenberg (NL) and Cofriset (FR) and the finalisation of the build-to-suit project in Heerlen (NL).

In the second half of 2015, the property in Tilburg was acquired (let to the Verstijnen group, and financed fully with debt). Furthermore, a number of build-to-suit projects were initiated (Movianto in Erembodegem, CDS in Vorst and Bakkersland in Schiphol) where the ongoing works are financed fully with debt. As a result of these operations, the debt ratio stood at 55.77% on 31/12/2015.

The build-to-suit projects Movianto in Erembodegem, CdS in Vorst, and Bakkersland in Aalsmeer were delivered in 2016. The works of these 3 projects were financed with debt. Furthermore, the acquisition of the project in Eindhoven (Jan de Rijk) and the acquisition of the land in Bornem (Bornem Vastgoed) were likewise financed with debt. To keep the debt ratio within limits, the project in Willebroek (Federal Mogul) was acquired in March 2016 by contribution in kind and an optional dividend was successfully paid out in June. In December 2016, the sale of St.-Cyr-En-Val and Cambrai went through, as a result of which the debt ratio was brought down again to 51.65% on 31/12/2016.

The debt ratio rose to 56.9% in the first half of 2017 (from 51.65% at the end of December 2016), as a result of the net effect between the revenues from the sale of the building in Savigny-le-Temple and the expenditures for the acquisition of the Brucargo site, let to DHL Aviation, the acquisition of the Willebroek site, let to Metro, the development of the Brucargo site, let to Saco, the development of the project in Genk let to Mainfreight, the acquisition of the site let to Brardt in Alfortville, the launch of the enlargement project in Waddinxveen let to Delta Wines, the acquisition of the Brakman project in Tilburg, let to NSK, and the launch for the development of the project in Camphin.

Future investment potential

On the basis of this current debt ratio, the investment potential would amount to ca. €149 million 17 without exceeding the maximum debt ratio of 65%.

Montea has concluded covenants with a number of banking institutions under the terms of which the debt ratio may not exceed 60%. Consequently, on the basis of the same calculation, the investment potential amounts to more than €50 million.

The variations in the fair value of the property portfolio can also have a significant impact on the debt ratio. On the basis of the equity capital, the maximum admissible debt ratio of 65% would be excluded only in the event of a negative variation in the fair value of the property investments of more than €80 million. This corresponds to a drop of 16% in the existing portfolio.

On the basis of the current state and valuation of the portfolio by an independent expert, Montea sees no substantial possible negative variations in the fair value. Montea is therefore of opinion that the current debt ratio of 56.9% provides a sufficient buffer to deal with possible further negative variations in the existing portfolio.

Conclusion

Montea deems that the debt ratio will not rise above 65% and that no additional measures need to be taken on the basis of the planned changes in the composition of the real estate portfolio and the expected development of the equity capital.

Montea's goal remains to continue its financing with a debt ratio of ca. 55% and will see to it that said ratio will never exceed 60%.

A debt ratio of 56.9% is perfectly justified given the nature of the real estate in which Montea invests, i.e. logistics and semi-industrial real estate, with an average net return of ca. 7%.

Should a situation nonetheless arise where certain events require an adjustment of the company's strategy, it will do so at once and inform the shareholders accordingly in the semi-annual and annual financial reporting.

The EPRA NAV on 30/06/2017 amounts to €26.86 per share compared to €27.80 per share on 31/12/2016.

The EPRA NNNAV per share amounts to €25.46 per share on 30 June 2017 compared with €25.97 per share on 31 December 2016.

17 This calculation does not take account of the EPRA earnings for the future periods, the variations in the fair value of the property investments, nor any variations in the deferred charges, provisions for risks and deferred taxes of the liabilities.

1.4.5 Valuation rules

  • Montea has decided to adapt its valuation rule concerning transaction costs with retroactive effect.
  • Originally, the difference between the fair value of real estate and the investment value of real estate as determined by external experts upon purchase was entered under "Reserve for the impact of the fair value of the estimated transaction costs resulting from the hypothetical disposal of properties" in equity capital. The transactions during the financial year were entered under earnings (positive and negative revaluations). At the time of divestment, the initial difference between the fair value and the investment value was entered under earnings.
  • Henceforth, transaction costs (i.e. the difference between the fair value and the investment value of real estate) upon acquisition will be processed via the profit-and-loss account). Only after the result has been processed will these costs be entered in the Reserves under the "Reserve for the Balance of changes in the fair value of real estate." The account "Reserve for the impact of the fair value of the estimated transaction costs resulting from the hypothetical disposal of properties" will no longer be used.

The equity capital is not affected. Furthermore, this adjustment has no impact on the EPRA earnings and the distributable result. Cf. Annex 11.

When drawing up this half-yearly financial report, all the IFRS and IAS standards pertaining thereto were analysed, and Montea can confirm that due account of all said standards was taken accordingly.

Published standards not yet in force

Montea has not applied the following new standards (changes to standards and interpretations) which are not yet in force but may be applied earlier:

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

IFRS 9 was published by the IASB in July 2014 and adopted by the EU in November 2016. IFRS 9 comprises provisions concerning the classification and valuation of financial assets and liabilities, special impairments of financial assets and general hedge accounting provisions. IFRS replaces in large measure IAS 39 – Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurements.

Based on an analysis of Montea's situation as at 30 June 2017, IFRS 9 is expected to have no material impact on the consolidated annual financial statements. As regards the special impairments of financial assets valued at the amortised cost, including trade receivables, the initial application of the expected credit loss model under IFRS will result in an early recognition of credit losses by comparison with the model applied currently under IAS 39. Taking into account the relatively limited amount of outstanding trade receivables, combined with a low related credit risk, Montea considers that the impact on the consolidated annual financial statements will be limited.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

IFRS 15 comprises a unique and all-encompassing model of principles that an entity has to apply for the accounting of revenue from contracts with customers. Upon entry into force, this new standard will replace both IAS 18 concerning revenue from the sale of goods and the provision of services and IAS 11 concerning construction contracts to the order of third parties and related interpretations.

IFRS 15 is not expected to have a material impact on Montea's consolidated annual financial statements, since leases, which represent the main source of Montea's income, fall outside the scope of IFRS 15. The principles of IFRS 15 do however apply to the non-lease components which can be contained in a lease or in separate agreements, such as maintenance-related services charged to the tenant, for instance. Taking into account the fact that such non-lease components are relatively limited in terms of the amount and pertain to services which are recognised over time both under IAS and under IFRS 15, Montea expects no material impact.

IFRS 16 – Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease agreements and their accounting in the annual financial statements of both the lessor and the lessee. Upon entry into force, this standard will replace IAS 17 – Leases and the interpretations related thereto. IFRS 16 has not been approved in the European Union yet.

IFRS 16 introduces important changes concerning the accounting of leases for lessors, where the distinction between operational and financial leases is obliterated and assets and liabilities are recognised for all leases (barring exceptions for short-term leases or assets with a low value). Unlike the processing of leases by the lessee, IFRS 16 retains nearly all the provisions from IAS 17 – Leases pertaining to the processing of leases by the lessor. This means that lessors must continue to classify leases as operational or financial leases.

Since Montea acts nearly exclusively as lessor, with the exception of concession agreements, and has not opted for a reassessment as to whether a contract is or contains a lease by comparison with IAS 17, IFRS 16 is expected to have no material impact on the consolidated annual financial statements. In the limited cases where Montea is the lessee in leases classified as operational leases under IAS 17 and these contracts do not belong to exceptions as provided under IFRS 16 (e.g. car rental, real estate used by the group and concession agreements), a right of use and related liability will have to be recognised in the consolidated annual financial statements.

1.6 Important events after 30/06/2017

18/07/2017 - Launch of second build-to-suit project at the logistics parc in Camphin-en-Carembault (FR) – Investment value of € 14.1 million18

Only 1.5 month after the signing of the first build-to-suit project for DSM at the Logistics Park in Camphin-en-Carembault (FR), Montea and GBS (Groupement des Bières Spéciales) sign a lease agreement for a period of

9 year for the development of a second build-to-suit project. The building of approximately 24,400 m² is divided into 4 units, of which GBS will rent approx. 18,500 m² (3 units). GBS will use the building as a distribution centre for France (www.gbssolutions-boissons.fr).

Montea «Space for Growth» - site Camphin-en-Carembault FR)

The building will be operational in the first quarter of 2018. The development represents a total investment value of approx. € 14.1 million. Upon letting the fourth unit, which Montea expects to conclude before the building is delivered in the beginning of 2018, this distribution centre will generate an additional rent of approx. € 1 million per year.

1/08/2017 - Montea acquires 59,500 m² plot of land strategically located along the Brussels Ring Road (R0) 19

Montea has signed an agreement concerning the acquisition of a strategically located plot of land of 59,900 m². The land is located on the Vilvoorde interchange along the Brussels Ring Road. This location provides excellent connections to the E19, A12, and E40 motorways, as well as a smooth connection to Brussels Airport

and the Brussels-Capital Region.

Montea wishes to develop a customised logistics and/or distribution building on this plot, once it has found a tenant. The project could encompass ± 35,000 m² of storage space. In the meantime, Montea is already in talks with a number of potential tenants, where the focus is placed on the high-quality logistics and (urban) distribution.

18 For more information, cf. press release of 18/07/2017 or www.montea.com.

19 For more information, cf. press release of 1/08/2017 or www.montea.com.

With a total investment value of € 10 million, this acquisition will proceed through the takeover of 100% of the shares of VILPRO NV. This transaction is slated to be closed in the beginning of October 2017.

Jo De Wolf, Montea Chief Executive Officer: "This transaction is fully in line with Montea's long-term growth strategy, whereby we develop quality logistics buildings ourselves at prime strategic locations."

1/08/2017 - Montea offers Delta Wines in Waddinxveen ca 5,000 m² more floor space so that it can continue to grow 20

In February 201421 Montea acquired a ca. 19,500 m² distribution centre on 25,800 m² of land, let to Delta Wines. The site is strategically located along the A12 motorway with connection The Hague–Utrecht–Arnhem– Rhur Valley.

Montea «Space for Growth» - site Waddinxveen – Delta Wines (NL)

To keep pace with its growth, Delta Wines has asked Montea to expand the aforementioned site by ca. 5,000 m². Delta Wines signed an additional lease for a fixed period of 12 years under the same terms and conditions. This extension will generate additional rent of ca. €225,000 per year.

The necessary permits have been obtained and this extension is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2018.

20 For more information, cf. press release of 1/08/2017 or www.montea.com.

1.7 Transactions with affiliated parties

There were no transactions between affiliated parties in the first half of 2017.

1.8 Principal risks and uncertainties

1.8.1. Principal risks and uncertainties23

The Board of Directors of the statutory business manager of Montea and management are fully aware of the interest of developing and maintaining sound governance and, as a result, of retaining a good-quality portfolio. Montea imposes strict and clear standards for (i) optimising and improving existing buildings, (ii) commercial management, (iii) the technical management of buildings, and (iv) any investments in the existing buildings. The aim of these criteria is to limit vacancies, as well as to increase the maximum sustainable value of the property portfolio.

The principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining months of the financial year are focused on:

Rental risks

a) Description of the risks

Montea's turnover largely consists of the rent generated by leases to third parties. Non-payment by tenants and a decrease in the occupancy rate may have a negative impact on results.

Montea is moreover exposed to the risk of loss of rental income linked to the departure of tenants before the expiry of their lease. The risk actually entails that it takes longer to find new (suitable) tenants and that the latter moreover demand a lower rent. These elements can have a negative impact on the earnings of Montea. The average term of the leases also determines the risk profile of Montea. This amounts to 7.8 years on 30 June 2017 on the basis of the first expiry date.

b) Management of the risks

Montea actively manages and monitors its existing and future clients in order to minimise vacancies and the turnover of tenants in its property portfolio.

The vast majority of rental income includes annual indexation in the rent (in Belgium, indexation is annual, based on the health index; in France, it is based on the construction cost index24 while in the Netherlands, indexation is based on the consumer price index). All current lease agreements in France and the Netherlands are subject to movements in the indices mentioned. None of the current rental income is exposed to a reduction in the initial rent as the result of any fall in the index.

Before a new client is accepted, its solvency is checked. On signing each lease agreement, an unconditional bank guarantee is required as a minimum in which the amount guaranteed corresponds with 3 to 6 months of rent. Rent is payable in advance on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis.

23 For more information about the strategy implemented by Montea, please see the Annual Report of 2016. Where necessary, Montea's policy will be adjusted based on the risk factors described.

24 CCI – indice de coût de construction [construction cost index].

In the context of an alliance with third parties (project developers, landowners, etc.), Montea positions itself as an active partner in property development. In doing so, Montea aims to have a lease agreement already in place with a tenant prior to commencing the construction of a new development. Montea has no plans to become involved in speculative development projects (so-called "blank" projects, where there are no tenants arranged in advance).

In the property sector, Montea targets primarily logistics real estate (storage and transhipment of goods) and tries to spread its risk in terms of type of tenant/sector and geographic location.

Risks relating to the (impossibility of) dividend payment

Montea may not be able to pay out a dividend or do so only for limited amounts because of legal restrictions on dividend payments.

a) Description of the risks

The company has a strategy concerning dividend payments. No certainty can be given that the Company will always be able to pay dividends in future, however, e.g. if accumulated negative changes in the fair value of the property investments exceed the available reserves.

It is possible that, although the Company's properties generate the expected rental income and operating profit, it becomes technically impossible for the Company to pay out a dividend to its shareholders in accordance with Article 617 of the Companies Code and the RREC legislation. Article 617 of the Companies Code stipulates that profits may not be distributed if on the closing date of the last financial year the Company's net assets, as reported in the annual financial statement, have dropped or would drop because of such distribution below the amount of the paid up – or where higher – called up capital, plus all reserves which may not be distributed according to the law or the Company's articles of association.

b) Management of the risks

Montea makes sure that the Company's profit is maintained or even increases and that part of the generated profit is regularly transferred to the reserves through a decrease of the amount of dividend payments.

Management of the property portfolio

a) Description of the risks

The Montea team, assisted by external advisors as and when necessary, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the buildings, the technical management of the property portfolio25 and proposes efficient and flexible solutions for improving the quality and sustainability of the portfolio. The team will moreover make every effort to minimise any vacancies in a proactive manner.

25 Montea is assisted by external partners on certain tasks, though it remains ultimately responsible for said tasks and for the coordination.

The operational technical management and maintenance of the buildings, as well as the coordination of the running construction and renovation works, are monitored by the Company's own staff. The team proposes a maintenance and renovation plan to the investment committee and board of directors to ensure optimal profitability for the portfolio in the long term.

In view of its relatively small team, the Company is exposed to an organisational risk if certain staff in a key position were to leave. The unexpected departure of certain staff members could have adverse consequences for the development of the company and could entail additional management costs.

b) Management of the risks

Montea conducts a policy where the greater part of costs for the management of the buildings is invoiced to the tenants. A total of €453,000 was spent on costs in the first half of 2017 which could not be invoiced to the tenants. Furthermore, €2.6 million were invested in improvement and renovation works on the existing portfolio. This amount represents 0.4% of the fair value of the property portfolio.

If certain staff in key positions should leave, Montea can fill those key positions temporarily through outsourcing. The company offers a remuneration package at market rates and provides additional courses and seminars for its staff on a regular basis so that they can get further training in their area of expertise.

Liquidity and financing risk

a) Description of the risks

The liquidity risk takes the form of Montea running the risk at a given moment in time of not having the necessary cash resources and no longer being able to obtain the required financing to meet its short-term debts. On 30 June 2017, Montea had investment commitments amounting to €79 million.

b) Management of the risks

The liquidity and financing risk is restricted by:

The diversification of funding sources: the total financial debt, excluding the valuation of IRSs (for €350.1 million) consists of 68.6% of lines of credit drawn down, 31.2% of debenture loans, and 0.2% of lease payables.

• The diversification of the drawn down lines of credit with six leading European financial institutions (ING, Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, KBC, Bank Degroof and Banca Monte Paschi); this diversification provides attractive financial market terms;

To prevent a future liquidity problem, Montea is currently taking action to secure in good time the funding, required for the further growth of the portfolio. The company currently foresees no problem in securing further funding sources in order to maintain the balance between the funding cost, as well as the term and the diversification of these funding sources.

Risks associated with changes in interest rates

a) Description of the risks

The short-term and/or long-term rates on the (international) financial markets are subject to significant fluctuations.

With the exception of lease agreements26 and 3 of the 4 debenture loans,27 all of Montea's financial debts have been agreed at a variable interest rate (bilateral lines of credit at the EURIBOR 3-month rate). Montea may benefit from possible low interest rates as a result.

b) Management of the risks

To hedge the risk of increases in interest rates, Montea conducts a policy whereby part of its financial debt is covered by interest rate hedging instruments. This prudential policy prevents a rise in nominal interest rates without a simultaneous growth in inflation, resulting in an increase in real interest rates. Any rise in real interest rates cannot be offset by an increase in rental income through indexation. It is also a fact that there is always a time lapse between a rise in nominal interest rates and the indexation of rental income.

Taking account of the lines of credit with variable interest rates, the hedging instruments, the fixed interest rate on the bond loan and the fixed interest rates on the lease agreements, the average interest rate charge on 30 June 2017 amounted to 3.3%.

On the basis of the existing debt position on 30 June 2017 and the short-term interest rate in force at the time, an increase in the short-term interest rate of 100 basis points would entail no material increase of the total annual financial cost, since the hedge ratio amounts to 93.5%.

26 Montea has financial debt in relation to a current lease agreement of €0.6 million (0.2% of the total financial debt)This debt Agreement expires in 2015. At the time, this agreement was entered into with a fixed quarterly payment (including the interest charge).

27 In 2014, Montea issued a debenture loan at a fixed interest rate of 3.355%, and in 2013 at a fixed interest rate of 4.107%. For more information, please see our press releases of 20/05/2014 and 24/06/2013. In 2015, Montea issued a debenture loan at a fixed interest rate of 3.42%, and then a second debenture loan at a variable interest rate (EURIBOR 3M + 2.05%)

1.9 Outlook

Economic climate

Montea's business is affected partly by the overall economic climate. Lower economic growth can have an indirect effect on occupancy rates and rental income. It can also increase the risk that some tenants may not be able to fulfil their obligations

For Montea, this risk is offset to some extent by the diversification of its revenue streams (e.g. solar panels), as well as its geographical diversification (Belgium, France and the Netherlands) and the signing of leases for longer terms with high-quality clients from a range of different sectors.

Specific outlook for Montea

• Investment pipeline

In the current climate of yield compression, and taking account of the sound investment policy pursued by Montea, it is more difficult to acquire quality Class A buildings on the basis of reasonable returns. As a result, build-to-suit projects are acquiring increasing importance in our investment portfolio. We expect that the property portfolio will grow to €650 million in financial year 2017.

• Occupancy rate and term of the leases

On 30 June 2017, the occupancy rate amounted to 95.8%, chiefly as a result of the current vacancy of the building in Willebroek for which severance compensation was obtained in 2016 from Neovia Logistics and the building in Puurs, formerly let to H&M. The building formerly let to SAS Automotive has in the meantime been rented to Bleckmann België NV. Montea's goal is to maintain the occupancy ratio above 95%. The average term of the leases until the first termination is 7.8 years. Based on the already announced growth, Montea expects to maintain the average term of its contract above 7 years by the end of the financial year.

• Financing strategy

Taking account of the 60% debt ratio restriction, Montea still has an investment capacity of €50 million. Montea is striving for a diversified financing policy, where the aim is to bring the term of our loans (currently 5.3 years) in line with the term of our leases (currently 7.8 years on average). We expect that the level of debt will have risen further at the end of 2017.

• Operating margin

On the basis of already announced growth, Montea expects to be able to maintain the operating margin above 89% for the entire year 2017.

• EPRA earnings

On the basis of the EPRA earnings of €13.0 million in the first half of the year, Montea espects to increase the EPRA earnings in 2017 to € 26 million compared with the EPRA earnings in 2016 (€ 24 million), on the basis of net income from acquired projects, the estimated extension of certain contracts and the letting of premises that are vacant at this time to offset the loss of rental income from the building in Savigny-le-Temple and the disappearance of once-off fees in the second half of the year.

1.10 Corporate social responsibility and sustainable business

Montea indicates that all developments, renovations and new projects are subject to a thorough study to help it keep the impact on the environment to a minimum.

1.11 Statement on meeting certain covenants concerning bond issues

Pursuant to Article 5.11 of the conditions of issue of bonds, issued on 28 June 2013 (for a total of €30 million), on 28 May 2014 (for a total of €30 million) and on 30 June 2015 (for a total of €50 million), Montea will provided a statement in its consolidated annual and semi-annual figures on compliance with certain covenants imposed in Article 5.10 of said conditions of issue.

Montea declares that:

  • The consolidated debt ratio amounts to 56.9%, and as such is below the 65% mark, as required in Article 5.10 (d) of the information memoranda on the debenture loans issued in 2013 and 2014 and Article 5.10 (c) of the information memoranda on the debenture loans issued in 2015;
  • The "Interest Cover"28\* amounts to 3.44 and as such is higher than 1.5, as required in Article 5.10 (e) of the information memoranda on the debenture loans issued in 2013 and 2014 and Article 5.10 (d) of the information memoranda on the debenture loans in 2015.

28 * The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of the operating result before the result of the portfolio and the financial income, by the net interest costs. Cf. Section 5.

2. Future statements

This press release contains a number of future-oriented statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which may entail that the actual results may differ substantially from the results supposed by such future-oriented statements in this press release. Important factors that can influence such results include in particular changes in the economic situation, commercial and competition circumstances, as a result of future court decisions or changes in the legislation.

3. Statement pursuant to Article 13 of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007

Pursuant to Article 13, paragraph 2 of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007, Montea's statutory manager, Montea Management NV, represented by its permanent representative, Jo De Wolf, declares that, to the best of its knowledge:

  • The condensed financial statements, drawn up according to the applicable standards for annual accounts, provide a faithful picture of the assets, financial situation and results of Montea and the companies included in the consolidation;
  • The interim annual report provides a faithful overview of the information required pursuant to Article 13, §5 and §6 of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007 concerning the bonds by issuers of financial instruments authorised to trade on a regulated market.

4. EPRA Performance Measures29

EPRA earnings – EPRA earnings per share

Definition: The EPRA earnings concern the net earnings (after processing of the operating result before the result on the portfolio, minus the financial results and corporate tax, exclusive of deferred taxes), minus the changes in the fair value of property investments and real estate intended for sale, minus the result from the sale of investment properties, plus changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The EPRA earnings per share are the EPRA earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares for the financial year.

Purpose: The EPRA earnings measure the operational profitability of the company after the financial result and after taxes on the operational result. The EPRA earnings measure the net result from the core activities per share.

EPRA NAV – EPRA NAV per share

Definition: The EPRA NAV is the NAV that was applied so that it comprises real estate and other investment at their fair value and which excludes certain items which are not expected to acquire fixed form in a business model with property investments in the long term. The EPRA NAV per share concerns the EPRA NAV on the basis of the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. Cf. also www.epra.com.

Purpose: The EPRA NAV measures the intrinsic value without taking account of the fair value of the hedging instruments, the impact of which is booked in the financial costs in future financial years, when the IRS is not cancelled before the maturity date. The EPRA NAV per share measures the intrinsic value per share without taking into account the fair value of the hedging instruments, the impact of which is booked in the financial costs in future financial years, when the IRS is not cancelled before the maturity date.

Annex 9: Independent expert's report on 30/06/2017

Valuation The valuation of the various investment objects in the portfolio was supported by
the following methods: the rental value capitalisation method and the income
approach according to a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, with a verification of
the unit prices obtained.
Evolution of value The Fair Value of the projects (exclusive of developments and solar panels)
pursuant to IAS 40 has gone from €532 million on 31/12/2016 to €598 million on
30/06/2017. This Fair Value of €598 million corresponds to an investment value of
€626 million (deed in hand).
The initial yield (the rental income considered in respect of the investment value)
of the full portfolio amounts to 6.8%.
Assets The assets at this time amount to ± 812,120 m² of storage space and ± 75,539 m²
of office floor space, for a total floor space of ± 887,659 m².
Except for the 14 sites in France and 11 sites in the Netherlands, the current
properties are situated mainly in the Flemish rhombus.
Rental income The actual rental income is calculated after deducting the advance levy on income
derived from real estate when the latter is payable by the owner, and in certain
rare cases, as an average rental income until the next due date, if there are rent
reduction or the rent is not contractually constant.
This annual income amounted to € 42.8 million per year on 30/06/2017.
The aforementioned rental amounts are the net rental income minus additional
payments for municipal charges and any insurance premiums.

The occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, calculated on the basis of the floor space, amounts to 95.8%.
