Summary

• The EPRA earnings1 of Montea for the first 3 months of 2018 amount to € 7.1 million, slightly down from the EPRA earnings of Q1 2017 which amounted to €7.2 million. If no account is taken of the one-off compensation received or foreseen in the first quarter of 2017 (from SAS Automotive compensation of €1.3 million and compensation linked to the completion of DHL Aviation NV of €0.9 million), the EPRA earnings for the first three months of 2018 are up by €2.1 million or 42% over the same period last year, from €5.0 million in 2017 to €7.1 million in 2018.

The IFRIC 21 standard was applied to the figures, which entails that the property tax, insurance and any reinvoicing thereof, as well as the subscription tax are booked immediately and fully, whereby the interim earnings are difficult to extrapolate.

The net rental income rose by 7% from €10.4 million at the end of Q1 2017 to € 11.1 million at the end of Q1 2018. The net rental income of 2017 contained severance compensation of €1.3 million received from SAS Automotive. This one-off compensation was amply offset (€0.7 million) by rental income earned in 2018 following the recent purchases and developments. If no account is taken of this one-off compensation, the net rental income for the first 3 months of 2018 is up by €2.0 million (22%) from €9.1 million in 2017 to €11.1 million 2018.

The earnings from real estate dropped by €0.3 million or 3% from €11.4 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €11.1 million at the end of Q1 2018, primarily as a result of a one-off compensation received in 2017, linked to the completion of the building let to DHL Aviation NV (€ 0.9 million).

The property costs and overheads rose by €0.2 million for the first 3 months of 2018 compared with the same period last year, primarily as a result of the growth of the property portfolio, whereby the operating result before the result on the property portfolio declined by €0.5 million from €9.9 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €9.4 million at the end of Q1 2018 or 6%.

The financial result dropped by €0.4 million from €2.6 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €2.2 million at the end of Q1 2018, primarily due to the settlement of four interest rate swaps for a total of a nominal amount of €60 million at the end of 2017 to conclude new hedging for the same nominal amount at market conditions. The EPRA earnings dropped by €0.1 million as a result at the end of Q1 2018 from the end of Q1 2017.

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 Chapters 6 and 7 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 ERPA earnings as stipulated in the 'Best Practice Recommendations' of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).

  • The EPRA earnings per share2 dropped to €0.61 per share for Q1 compared with €0.73 per share for Q1 2017, despite the stable EPRA earnings in 2018 compared with 2017 owing to the newly created shares after 31 March 20173 .
  • The fair value of the property portfolio inclusive of solar panels and developments rose by €30 million or 4.2% to €749 million at the end of Q1 2018 compared with €719 million at the end of 2017. The fair value of the Belgian, French, and Dutch property portfolios amounts to €405 million, €126 million and €218 million respectively.

The growth of the fair value in Belgium is due chiefly to the ongoing developments for Belron in Genk (let to Carglass), developments for Pelsis in Bornem, the ongoing developments at Brucargo, let to WFS, and Malisse in Liège.

The growth of the real value in France is due chiefly to the acquisition of 2 sites: Lesquin, situated at the Parc d'Activité du Melantois and the Amethyste site, situated 4 Rue de la Grande Borne, Mesnil Amelot. Furthermore, the construction works and developments at Camphin and Carembaut are progressing according to plan.

The rise in real value of the property portfolio in the Netherlands is largely due to the developments at Etten-Leur, let to Bas Logistics, and the ongoing developments at Schiphol airport.

  • The occupancy rate remained stable until the end of 2017 and amounts to 96.4% at the end of Q1 2018. The average term of the leases until their first termination option amounts to 7.2 years.
  • The operating margin amounts to 84.2% for the first 3 months of 2018 compared to 95.4% for the same period last year. If no account is taken of the one-off compensation received for the completion of the building at Brucargo let to DHL Aviation NV of €0.9 million, the operating margin amounted to 86.3% at the end of Q1 2017. The drop in the operating margin in Q1 2018 compared to Q1 2017 of 2% is the result of a provision which was set up as a precaution for vacancy tax concerning Bornem Vastgoed NV, a subsidiary of Montea Comm V.A., which will be appealed.
  • The debt ratio amounts to 52.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2018 compared with 51.9% at the end of 2017.
  • The gross dividend of €2.17 per share for financial year 2017 Possibility of optional dividend

Subject to the condition precedent of the decision to pay out a gross dividend of €2.17 per share (coupon no. 18 and no. 19) by the annual general meeting of shareholders of Montea on 15 May 2018, the statutory manager of Montea, decided to offer shareholders, by way of optional dividend, the possibility to bring their debt claim stemming from the dividend payment, in the capital of Montea against the use of new shares. The new shares will share in the profit as of 1 January 2018 (with coupon no. 20 attached). The issue price of the new shares amounts to € 42.81 per share, a reduction of 3.5% with regard to the 30 day average stock exchange price of Montea prior to 14 May 2018. Based on the closing price of 11 May 2018 of € 45.20 the reduction amounts to 5.3%.

38 coupons no. 18 (detached 13 September 2017) entitle the holder to 1 new share. 114 coupons no. 19 (detached 4 April 2018) entitle the holder to 1 new share.

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.

3 Montea finalized a successful increase of capital of €68,004,527 by issuing 1,658,647 new shares. Cf. Press release of 27 September 2017.

  • In view of the earnings in the first quarter of 2018, Montea has the following prospects:
    1. EPRA earnings per share is to rise by 5% / Dividend per share by 3%
    1. Property portfolio is to rise over €800 million
    1. The occupancy rate remains above 95% Term of leases amounts to more than 7 years on average
    1. Operating margin of 92% on an annual basis

1.2. Significant events and transactions during the first quarter of 2018 in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands

1.2.1. The EPRA earnings amount to €7.1 million and are slightly down from the EPRA earnings during the same period last year which amounted to € 7.2 million

The EPRA earnings4 of Montea for the first 3 months of 2018 amount to € 7.1 million, slightly down from the EPRA earnings of Q1 2017 which amounted to €7.2 million. If no account is taken of the one-off compensation received or foreseen in the first quarter of 2017 (from SAS Automotive compensation of €1.3 million and compensation linked to the completion of DHL Aviation NV of €0.9 million), the EPRA earnings for the first three months of 2018 are up by 2.1 million or 42% over the same period last year, from €5.0 million in 2017 to €7.1 million in 2018.

The IFRIC 21 standard was applied to the figures, which entails that the property tax, insurance and any reinvoicing thereof, as well as the subscription tax are booked immediately and fully, whereby the interim earnings are difficult to extrapolate.

The most important changes are:

  • o The net rental income rose from €10.4 million at the end of Q1 2017 to € 11.1 million at the end of Q1 2018 (€0.7 million). The net rental income of 2017 contained severance compensation of €1.3 million received from SAS Automotive. This one-off compensation was amply offset (€0.7 million) by rental income earned in 2018 following the recent purchases and developments. If no account is taken of this one-off compensation, the net rental income for the first 3 months of 2018 is up by €2.0 million from €9.1 million in 2017 to €11.1 million 2018.
  • o The earnings from real estate dropped by €0.3 million or 3% from €11.4 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €11.1 million at the end of Q1 2018, primarily as a result of a one-off compensation received in 2017, linked to the completion of the building let to DHL Aviation NV (€ 0.9 million).
  • o The property costs and overheads rose by €0.2 million for the first 3 months of 2018 compared with the same period last year, primarily as a result of the growth of the property portfolio, whereby the operating result before the result on the property portfolio declined by €0.5 million from €9.9 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €9.4 million at the end of Q1 2018 or 6%.
  • o The financial result decreased by € 0.4 million from € 2.6 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €2.2 million at the end of Q1 2018 mainly due to the settlement of four interest rate hedges of the IRS (Interest Rate Swap) type for a total nominal amount of € 60 million at the end of 2017 to subsequently close a new hedge for the same nominal amount at market conditions. As a result, the EPRA result decreased by € 0.1 million at the end of Q1 2018 compared to the end of Q1 2017.

The operating margin amounts to 84.2% for the first 3 months of 2018 compared with 95.4% for the same period last year. If no account is taken of the one-off compensation received for the delivery of the building at Brucargo let to DHL Aviation NV of €0.9 million, the operating margin amounted to 86.3% at the end of Q1 2017. The drop in the operating margin in Q1 2018 compared with Q1 2017 of 2% is the result of a provision which was set up as a precaution for vacancy tax concerning Bornem Vastgoed NV, a subsidiary of Montea Comm V.A. which will be appealed.

The EPRA earnings per share dropped to €0.61 per share for Q1 compared with €0.73 per share for Q1 2017, despite the stable EPRA earnings in 2018 compared with 2017 owing to the newly created shares after 31 March 20175 .

The average financing cost6 * dropped from 3.2% at the end of 2017 to 2.8% at the end of Q1 2018 as a result of the settlement of interest rate swaps at the end of 2017 for a nominal amount of €60 million to conclude new hedging for the same nominal amount at market conditions. The hedging percentage rose during the first quarter of 2018 to 96.3% compared with the hedging percentage at the end of 2017 (87.4%) as a result of extra hedging for a nominal amount of €45 million (term of 10 years).

1.2.2. Rental activity during the first quarter of 2018

13/03/2018 – Facil Europe BVBA becomes new quality tenant at the site in Ghent, Hulsdonk (BE) 7

Montea and Facil Europe BVBA (Volvo dealer) have signed an agreement for a 9-year term. Facil Europe will use ca. 4,200 m² for the storage of components and accessories of motor vehicles (www.facil.be). This lease will generate annual rent of €202,805. Talks are under way with potential tenants for the remaining available floor space.

1.2.3. Investment activities during the first quarter of 2018

13/03/2018 – Montea acquires a 4,240 m² crossdock distribution centre in Lesquin (FR)8

Montea has acquired a logistics distribution centre in Lesquin, in the Lille region, near Lille airport. The

crossdock distribution centre consists of 3,764 m² storage space and 476 m² offices and is let entirely to DHL.

DHL signed a lease for 9 years, with a first termination option after 6 years. This lease agreement will generate annual rental income of €270,000.

This transaction represents a total investment value of €4.15 million (in line with the investment value

determined by the real estate expert) and will generate an initial return of ca. 6.50%.

5 Montea finalized a successful increase of capital of €68,004,527 by issuing 1,658,647 new shares. Cf. Press release of 27 September

2017. 6 *The average financing cost concerns the weighted average interest rate on an annual basis for the reporting period, taking into account the average outstanding debts and hedging instruments during that period. The financial earnings and activated interim interest are taken out of the financial result for the calculation of the total financial burden. 7 Cf. press release of 13/03/2018 or www.montea.com for more information.

8 Cf. press release of 13/03/2018 or www.montea.com for more information.

29/03/2018 – Montea acquires a logistics building in Hoofddorp (NL)9

Montea Nederland N.V. has acquired a 6,290 m² logistics building with 108 parking places on "De President" industrial estate in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, from Kenick Capital B.V. in Moerdijk. "De President" is an industrial estate to the south of Hoofddorp of ca. 100 hectares.

The current tenant, Idexx Europe B.V., will continue to rent the building after the transfer under the current lease, with a fixed term until 30 June 2029, and gross rental income of €650,000 per year. The transaction was concluded at an initial yield of 6.95%.

Montea Comm.VA financed this transaction by a contribution in kind of the claim of Kenick Capital BV on Montea Nederland BV to pay the purchase

price in the capital of Montea Comm.VA within the limits of the authorized capital. This transaction let to a strengthening of the shareholders' equity of Montea Comm. VA with €8,825,000, which corresponds to the investment value exclusive of transfer costs (€ 529,500).

The contribution in kind was remunerated by the issue of new Montea shares at an issue price per share equal to the weighted average closing price of the Montea share on Euronext Brussels during 30 calendar days before the date of the contribution, minus the gross dividend still due for the period from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2017, payable for the period in May/June 2018 (coupon n° 19), i.e. a gross amount of €0.54 per share (still to be approved by the Montea annual general meeting of shareholders of 15 May 2018).

1.2.4. Development activity during the first quarter of 2018

13/03/2018 – Montea is developing a new logistics building of 8,670 m² for WFS at Brucargo, Zaventem (BE) 10

Montea announced the development of a new project of ca. 7,230 m² warehouse and ca. 1,440 m² offices at Brucargo, on the cargo side of Brussels Airport. A 12-year lease was concluded with WFS. World Flight Services

(WFS) is one of the biggest handling agents, active worldwide at more than 100 locations.

Construction works have started, and the new build-to-suit project is expected to be operational by the spring of 2019.

9 Cf. press release of 29/03/2018 or www.montea.com for more information.

10 Cf. press release of 13/03/2018 or www.montea.com for more information.

Montea had earlier concluded a long-term superficies agreement with the Brussels Airport Company. After deduction of the superficies compensation to BAC, the project will generate annual rental income of ca. €540,000, for an initial yield of ca. 7.8%. With previous developments for St Jude Medical, DHL Global Forwarding, Geodis, Nippon Express, Saco Group Air and DHL Aviation Hub, this project is Montea's seventh investment at Brucargo over the last 4 years.

1.2.5. Divesting activity during the first quarter of 2018

There were no divestments during the first quarter of 2018.

1.2.6. Other events during the first quarter of 2018.

15/01/2018 – Signing of cooperation agreement with J|MO, represented by Julien Mongoin – More clout in France11

Fair value of investment in solar panels is included in section "D" of the balance sheet fixed assets.

The fair value of the property portfolio inclusive of solar panels and developments rose by €30 million or 4.2% to €749 million at the end of Q1 2018 compared with €719 million at the end of 2017. The fair value of the Belgian, French and Dutch property portfolios amounts to €405 million, €126 million and €218 million respectively.

The growth of the fair value in Belgium is due chiefly to the ongoing developments for Belron in Genk (let to Carglass), developments for Pelsis in Bornem, the ongoing developments at Brucargo, let to WFS, and Malisse in Liège.

The growth of the real value in France is due chiefly to the acquisition of 2 sites: Lesquin, situated at the Parc d'Activité du Melantois and the Amethyste site, situated 4 Rue de la grande Borne, Mesnil Amelot. Furthermore, the construction works and developments at Camphin and Carembaut are progressing according to plan.

The rise in real value of the property portfolio in the Netherlands is largely due to the developments at Etten-Leur, let to Bas Logistics, and the ongoing developments at Schiphol airport.

  • The total surface area of the property portfolio (buildings) amounts to 974,556 m², spread over 28 sites in Belgium, 16 sites in France and 12 sites in the Netherlands.
  • Montea also has a total land bank of ca. 168,652 m² in development potential at existing sites.
  • The gross return on the total property investments amounts to 7.54% on the basis of a fully rented portfolio, compared to 7.43% on 31/12/2017.
  • The contractual annual rental income (exclusive of rental guarantees) amounts to €48.5 million, up by 30% from 31/03/2017, chiefly due to rental income from new investments after 31 March 2017.
  • The occupancy rate is 96.4%.12 The vacancy concerns the building in Willebroek for which a severance compensation was obtained in 2016 from Neovia Logistics, 25% of which has in the meantime been rented to Nippon Express. Furthermore, part of the building in Milmort (formerly rented to Vincent Logistics) is to let. The building that was let to SAS Automotive, for which one-off compensation was obtained in Q1 2017, is booked as 70% vacant. After the year end, 30% of this site is rented to Facil Europe. In France, the building in Bandouffle is vacant (formerly rented to Cybergun).

12 The occupancy rate is calculated on the basis of the occupied m² compared with the total m². The projects under development were left out of consideration both in the numerator and the denominator.

3.2. Notes on the condensed consolidated (analytical) income statement for the first quarter closed on 31/03/2018

The net rental income rose by 7% from €10.4 million at the end of Q1 2017 to € 11.1 million at the end of Q1 2018. The net rental income of 2017 contained severance compensation of € 1.3 million received from SAS Automotive. This one-off compensation was amply offset (€ 0.7 million) by rental income earned in 2018 following the recent purchases and developments. If no account is taken of this one-off compensation, the net rental income for the first 3 months of 2018 is up by € 2.0 million from € 9.1 million in 2017 to €11.1 million in 2018.

The earnings from real estate dropped by € 0.3 million or 3% from €1 1.4 million at the end of Q1 2017 to € 11.1 million at the end of Q1 2018, primarily as a result of a one-off compensation received in 2017, linked to the completion of the building let to DHL Aviation NV (€ 0.9 million).

The property costs and overheads rose by €0.2 million for the first 3 months of 2018 compared with the same period last year, primarily as a result of the growth of the property portfolio, whereby the operating result before the result on the property portfolio declined by €0.5 million from €9.9 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €9.4 million at the end of Q1 2018 or 6%.

The financial result dropped by €0.4 million from €2.6 million at the end of Q1 2017 to €2.2 million at the end of Q1 2018, primarily due to the settlement of four interest rate swaps for a total of a nominal amount of €60 million at the end of 2017 to conclude new hedging for the same nominal amount at market conditions. The EPRA earnings dropped by €0.1 million as a result at the end of Q1 2018 from the end of Q1 2017.

The taxes have remained virtually unchanged for the period Q1 2018 (€0.2 million) compared to the same period in 2017 (€0.2 million), whereby the EPRA earnings dropped by €0.1 million at the end of Q1 2018 compared with the end of Q1 2017.

The operating margin amounts to 84.2% for the first 3 months of 2018 compared to 95.4% for the same period last year. If no account is taken of the one-off compensation received for the completion of the building at Brucargo let to DHL Aviation NV of €0.9 million, the operating margin amounted to 86.3% at the end of Q1 2017. The drop in the operating margin in Q1 2018 compared to Q1 2017 of 2% is the result of a provision which was set up as a precaution for vacancy tax concerning Bornem Vastgoed NV, a subsidiary of Montea Comm V.A., which will be appealed.

EPRA earnings of €7.1 million

The EPRA earnings for the first quarter of 2018 amount to €7.1 million, compared to €7.2 million for the same period the previous year.

EPRA earnings of €0.61 per share

The EPRA earnings per share dropped from €0.73 per share in the first quarter of 2017 to €0.61 per share for the first quarter of 2018, despite the stable EPRA earnings as a result of the newly created shares after 31 March 2017.

14/05/2018 – Conditions concerning the optional dividend - €1.63 per share for 1/01/2017-30/09/2017 and €0.54 per share for 1/10/2017 – 31/12/2017

On 14 May 2018, the statutory manager of Montea decided to offer shareholders, by way of optional dividend, the possibility to bring their debt claim stemming from the dividend payment, in the capital of Montea against the use of new shares, within the authorized capital, and under the condition precedent of the decision to pay out the gross dividend at the Montea general meeting of shareholders of 15 May 2018. This will be carried out by the issue of new shares (in addition to the possibility to receive the dividend in cash or a combination of both foregoing options). The new shares will share in the profit as of 1 January 2018 (with coupon no. 20 attached). The gross dividend amounts to €2.17 per share (consisting of €1.63 gross per share for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 September 2017, represented by coupon no. 18 (detached 13 September 2017), to which 9,951,884 shares are entitled and €0.54 gross per share for the period from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2017, represented by coupon no. 19 (detached 4 April 2018), to which 11,610,531 shares are entitled).

On 8 May 2018, the FSMA approved this capital increase.

The contribution in kind of receivables to Montea in the context of the optional dividend, and the associated capital increase, improves Montea's equity and therefore its (legally limited) debt ratio.

The improvement in the shareholders' equity and the debt ratio offers Montea an opportunity to carry out additional transactions financed with debt where necessary, and this to achieve its growth targets. Furthermore, the optional dividend leads to a retention of funds (apace with the contribution of dividend rights in the capital of Montea) which strengthens the equity position.

In addition, ties with the shareholders are strengthened in the process.

The shareholders can thus choose between:

o The contribution of the net dividend claim in the capital of Montea in exchange for new shares: They can subscribe to a new share by contributing 38 coupons no. 18 (each for a net dividend amount of €1.141 per coupon) which represent shares of the same type.

This comes down to an issue price of €42.81 per new share (i.e. 38 coupons no. 18 x € 1.141. [In addition, for each share to which he subscribes, a shareholder receives a cash component equal to the difference between the total amount of the dividend claims attached to the number of coupons no. 18 contributed, and the issue price, i.e. € 0.55.

They can subscribe to a new share by contributing 114 coupons no. 19 (each for a net dividend amount of €0.378 per coupon) which represent shares of the same type.

This comes down to an issue price of € 42.81 per new share (i.e. 114 coupons no. 19 x € 0.378. In addition, for each share to which he subscribes, a shareholder receives a cash component equal to the difference between the total amount of the dividend claims attached to the number of coupons no. 19 contributed, and the issue price, i.e. € 0.28.

Coupons with the same number must always be contributed per new share subscribed to. In other words, a combination of coupons no. 18 and 19 cannot be used to subscribe to a new share.

The issue price of the new shares to be issued was calculated as the 30-day average closing price of the company, minus 3.5%. This issue price of € 42.81 implies a reduction of 5.29% on the closing price of the share on 11 May 2018.

The 30-day average closing price is that prior to 14 May 2018, i.e. the date of the statutory manager's decision on the issue price of the share for the contribution in kind: € 44.36.

The proposed gross dividend for 2017, expected to be fixed at the general meeting of shareholders of 15 May 2018, amounts to €2.17 per share, consisting of €1.63 gross per share for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 September 2017, represented by coupon no. 18 (detached 13 September 2017), to which 9,951,884 shares are entitled and €0.54 gross per share for the period from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2017, represented by coupon no. 19 (detached 4 April 2018), to which 11,610,531 shares are entitled.

o Payment of the dividend in cash:

Coupon no. 18 entitles the holder to a dividend of €1.63 gross, which comes to €1.141 net dividend per share, after the deduction of 30% withholding tax20.

Coupon no. 19 entitles the holder to a dividend of €0.54 gross, which comes down to €0.378 net dividend per share, after deduction of 30% withholding tax.21

o A combination of both the foregoing options:

A mix between the contribution in kind of the dividend rights against the issue of new shares and a payment of the dividend in cash.

Shareholders who wish to contribute their dividend rights (fully or partially) in the Company's capital in exchange for new shares must contact, during this option period:

  • o The Company, as regards registered shares; and
  • o The financial institution where they have their securities account, for dematerialized shares.

Shareholders who have not notified their choice at the end of the option period will received their dividend automatically and exclusively in cash. The information memorandum, which will be available on the Montea website (under investor relations) as of 22 May 2018 (after the closing of the stock exchange), contains all further information.

On 8 June 2018, before the stock exchange, the dividend will be paid out to the shareholders, according to their choice in the form of (i) the issue of new shares in exchange for the contribution of net dividend rights; (ii) the payment of the dividend in cash; or (iii) a combination of the two previous payment options. Montea will apply to Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris for the additional listing of the new shares and aim to have the new shares, with coupon no. 20 attached, traded on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris as soon as possible as of the date of issue (7 June 2018).

5. Outlook

Investment pipeline

In the present climate of yield compression and in view of the sound investment policy pursued by Montea, it is more difficult to acquire quality class A buildings on the basis of reasonable return. As a result, built-tosuit projects are becoming increasingly more important in our portfolio. We expect the property portfolio to grow above €800 million in the course of financial year 2018.

Occupancy rate and term of leases

On 31/03/2018, the occupancy rate amounted to 96.4%. Montea's target is to keep the occupancy rate above 95%.

The average term of leases until the first termination option amounts to 7.2 years. Based on the already announced growth, Montea expects to maintain the average term of its leases above 7 years by the end of the financial year.

Financing strategy

Taking into account a debt ratio limit of 60%, Montea still has an investment capacity of €145 million. Montea is endeavouring to pursue a diversified financing policy, where the aim is to bring the term of our loans (5.5 years at the end of Q1 2018) in line with the term of our leases (7.2 years on average at the end of Q1 2018). The hedge ratio amounts to 96% at the end of Q1 2018 and will be kept above 80% in 2018.

Operating margin

Based on already announced growth, Monte expects to maintain the operating margin above 92% annually on a recurrent basis.

EPRA earnings per share / dividend per share

Based on EPRA earnings of €26.8 million in 2017, the pending net income from acquired projects, and taking account of the extension of certain leases and the letting of premises that are now vacant, Montea expects 5% growth in EPRA earnings per share in 2018. On the basis of these prospects, an increase in the dividend for 2018 of 3% again over 2017 is expected, which will lead to a gross dividend of €2.24 per share for 2018.
