1 The trading update is based on unaudited results.
2 CREMM building energy intensity is available only on a semi-annual basis; 2024 figure represents H1 2024.
3 Reported in the balance sheet at book value including right of use leasehold (IFRS 16), excluding lease incentives and part of NSI HQ (own use).
4 Before free rent and other lease incentives.

Our message throughout 2024 has been that NSI is back on the front foot, with a strategy centred around 1) Amsterdam, 2) sector smart, 3) customer first, 4) sustainability, and 5) growth. We have made progress on all fronts this year.
In Q3 we disposed our last remaining asset in Den Bosch. We have also reached a conditional agreement for the sale of one of our assets in Eindhoven. This deal is set to close late Q4.
In the latest GRESB results we continue to be one of the best listed real estate companies in Europe. This is a great result and inspires us to continue to lead the sector in sustainability with a focus on further improving the energy efficiency of our assets.
Works will start on the Alexanderpoort redevelopment in Q4, which is set to be a Paris-proof asset on completion in Q3 2025. The development team continues to work hard on our other development opportunities, located in Amsterdam.
The portfolio continues to operate at frictional levels of vacancy. Whilst the vacancy rate is up by 0.3%, to 5.5%, at the end of Q3, this is set to fall again in Q4 based on new lease contracts already signed.
Maintenance costs were lower in Q3, explaining the increase in like-for-like NRI growth during the quarter at 2.8%. Our like-forlike increase in gross rents was a healthy 3.4% over the period, more or less in line with inflation.
The cumulative like-for-like gross rental growth since 2018 is circa 34%, a very healthy result relative to cumulative inflation of 26% over the same period. This outperformance reflects the high quality of our portfolio, which very much meets the demand of modern tenants in terms of location, sustainability credentials and quality of product and services.

The €20m share buy-back programme, announced on 7 March 2024, was completed September 30. A total of 1,034,629 shares were repurchased, representing 5.13% of issued shares, at an average price of €19.33 per share. The repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares and not cancelled.
We are now starting to see more opportunities, both on and offmarket. At this time, we are actively looking at multiple potential investments. Having said that, we remain patient and will only act upon the right deal(s). Still, given the improving market dynamics, we have decided not to launch a further/additional buy-back programme.
In 2023, far-reaching changes to the tax-transparent FBI regime were announced, taking effect from January 2025 onwards. NSI restructured well ahead of these changes in early 2023, at the cost of a modest 3-5% tax rate being applied to profits for 2024.
However, new upcoming alterations to the tax legislation per January 2025 were announced on Budget day this September. If and when approved by Parliament the new earnings stripping rules will lead to a higher corporate income tax burden. We estimate the effective tax rate for NSI to then increase further, to 10-12% for 2025.
Notwithstanding the negative impact on EPRA EPS as a result of the higher tax rate next year, we believe maintaining the FBI regime at the holding level is for now still in the best interest of all shareholders.
Budget day brought a further disappointment to the real estate sector in that for commercial property the transfer tax remains at 10.4%, one of the highest levels in Europe. As such, we see our internal development pipeline as a great asset and one of the best ways to pursue further shareholder value creation.
Q3 year-to-date interim EPRA EPS is €1.51, with a good Q3 performance of €0.60, mainly on the back of strong operational growth and lower maintenance costs for the quarter. We now forecast a post-tax EPRA EPS of €1.95-2.05 for full year 2024.
This is a good result and with an ambitious, motivated team, we are optimistically looking forward to the opportunities that are likely to come, later in 2024 as well as in 2025.
