Johan Buijs, CEO of NSI comments:
"We are confident that our well organised letting platform and funding base put us in a good position to be very competitive and even benefit from the current market and opportunities. We clearly notice in the market that our ability to invest in our properties does not only retain our tenants, but absolutely attracts interest of new tenants who are currently not being served according to their needs.
A number of large properties became vacant in the first quarter, which we anticipated by redeveloping these for multi-tenant and flexible concepts. Even though these properties became vacant, we have kept our rentention rate on a solid level. Also on the financing part we see positive signs. We are pleased that our financiers confirmed their confidence by renewing and extending our syndicated loan; we even had the novelty to welcome an insurance company in the syndicate."
Outlook 2012
NSI will continue to focus on enhancing its position in the market by:
- Further transforming the company and capitalising upon operational synergies from the merger with VNOI. Although NSI expects the full benefits to materialise as from Q4 2012, the increased prospect pipeline indicates the first positive signs already.
- Further innovating and implementing full service and flexible lease concepts: the refurbishment of The Red Elephant (De Rode Olifant) in The Hague is progressing according to schedule and planned to be completed by year end. NSI has started preparations to convert "Het Vasteland" property in Rotterdam into a HNK ("Het Nieuwe Kantoor/The New Office"). NSI recently acquired the HNK brand when it signed a contract with the current operator of HNK. Het Vasteland will be fully operational in its new set up at the end of Q3 2012.
- Extending the shopping centre Keizerslanden. The shopping centre will be extended with 7,500 m2 to 14,800 m2 . The preliminary works are scheduled to start in Q4 2012 and to be finished in Q4 2014. The development will lead to approx. € 1.6 million extra rental income.
- Further implement the Client Focus program. Customer relationship management is now well embedded in the organization and is increasingly being applied to the former VNOI portfolio. NSI's knowledge of its tenants offers the best possible preparation in retaining tenants, pursuing new lettings and cope with the 2012 peak in expirations (23%) in the office portfolio and the lower expiration level of 2013 (17%).
- Compared to its competitors, NSI is well placed to create and realise opportunities that arise in the current market because of its proven capacity to deliver on the changing needs of tenants, and even more importantly, backed by its ability to invest in its properties and its pro-active approach.
- Reducing the operational costs. The cost synergies from the merger will amount to approximately €2.0 million for the full year. In addition, procurement will benefit from economy of scale. An example is the smart purchase of solar panels in NSI's headquarter in Hoofddorp and utilizing roofs on properties for use of solar panels.
- Focusing on reducing its loan-to-value to 55% medium term and 50% over the long term, by selling non strategic assets such as smaller offices and Swiss properties.
Integration
The integration between NSI and VNOI has been completed. Cost synergies are on track and are gradually kicking in, amounting to approximately €2.0 million for the full year. Besides cost synergies, NSI is driving operational synergies by applying the NSI client-focused approach to the former VNOI portfolio. The migration of data about VNOI's tenants and properties to NSI's system has been the first priority. NSI expects the full benefits to materialise as from Q4 2012, but the first positive signs are reflected in an increased prospect pipeline.
Total investment result
NSI's Q1 2012 total investment result was €17.1 million negative (Q1 2011: +€18.7 million) This mainly results from a positive operational result and revaluations of properties, in particular in the office portfolio.
Direct investment result
During Q1 2012, NSI achieved a direct investment result of €16.2 million (Q1 2011: €12.8 million). Compared to Q4 2011 (€16.9 million), the direct result decreased as a result of lower occupancy rates.
Occupancy rate
Retail:
The occupancy rate in the retail portfolio improved to 95.1% (Q4 2011: 94.9%) and remained at friction levels.
Offices:
The occupancy rate in the Dutch office portfolio decreased to 73.4% on 31 March 2012 compared to 77.3% at year end 2011. In Belgium the occupancy in the office portfolio was stable at 81.4%. In the industrial portfolio the occupancy rate improved to 88.0%. These developments were in line with expectations, based on actively anticipating the expiration calendar.
An above average amount of office leases (23%) will expire in 2012. This was also the case for Q1 2012. The decreased occupancy rate in the office portfolio is mainly caused by a number of large leases that were not extended in Q1 2012. In total 39,172 m2 expired (including 15,157 m2 of "Het Vasteland" in Rotterdam) with an effect of 6.2% on the vacancy rate of the office portfolio. A second effect here is that expirations have an immediate effect on the occupancy while new leases are kicking in with a delay. In 2013, a below average amount of office leases will expire (17%).
The retention rate in the office portfolio in Q1 2012 was 64%. Taking into account the exceptionally high effect of large leases that expired in Q1 2012, the retention rate was in line with Q4 2011.
Indirect investment result
The negative indirect investment result of €33.3 million (Q1 2011: +€5.9 million) predominantly derived from a negative revaluation effect of €26.6 million and a negative effect of €4.8 million due to the valuation of derivatives.
The negative revaluation mainly occurred in the Dutch office portfolio. The valuation per square metre significantly below replacement costs per square metre indicates a general low level of valuations in the market. This is confirmed by an increased deal activity and investors returning to the market.
Net asset value per share decreased from €12.96 on 31 December 2011 (net asset value according to EPRA: (€14.02) to €12.68 (EPRA €13.83) on 31 March 2012.
Financing
NSI recently executed a €25 million equity issue (approximately 5% of the outstanding share capital). The effect of the private placement on the LTV will be 1%.
In the first quarter a €225 million syndicated loan facility has been renewed and extended until 31 December 2015. In this facility also an insurance company stepped in for €50 million. With this renewal approximately 50% of the total amount of refinancing in 2014 has been done. The renewal and the size of this renewal clearly demonstrate that banks are willing to finance NSI.
The LTV remained stable at 57.3% at the end of Q1 2012 (57.2 % Q4 2011). NSI aims to reduce the LTV to below 55% in the short term and below 50% in the mid term. NSI is working on selling non strategic assets such as smaller offices and its Swiss properties. The effect of selling all Swiss properties on the LTV is expected to be approximately 2-2.5%.
NSI managed to lower its financing costs compared to Q4 2011, from €14.8 million to €14.0 million, mainly due to new interest rate swaps at a lower interest rate.
The interest coverage ratio improved to 2.5 on 31 March 2012 (31 December 2011: 2.4).
Interim dividend Q1 2012
The interim dividend for Q1 2012 amounts to €0.26 per share. In accordance with the new dividend policy, as adopted by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, NSI offers shareholders optional dividend, e.g. the choice to receive dividend in cash, in shares, or a combination of both. For 2012 NSI aims at a 30-50% pay out of the dividend in stock. On 25 May 2012, NSI will set the interim dividend and announce further details on the exchange rate for stock dividend.

Financial results
Preliminary remark for the reader
On 14 October 2011, NSI and VastNed Offices/Industrial N.V. (VNOI) merged their companies. This merger has been processed in this press release as follows:
- The P&L statement over the first quarter 2012 and the balance sheet per 31 March 2012 include the results from VNOI
- The balance sheet at year-end 2011 includes VNOI
- The first three quarters of 2011 have not been amended for comparison.
This way of presenting the figures and accounting is in accordance with IFRS.
Integration
The integration between NSI and VNOI has been completed. Cost synergies are on track and gradually kicking in. Besides cost synergies, the operational organisation is working tirelessly to unlock the operational synergies. First priority was the migration of data about VNOI tenants and properties to NSI's system. This knowledge is in NSI's client-focused approach the basis to serve customers and to manage the portfolio pro-actively. NSI expects the full benefits to materialise as from Q4 2012, but the first positive signs are reflected in an increased prospect pipeline.
Total investment result
The Q1 2012 investment result, consisting of the balance of the direct and indirect investment results amounted to - €17.1 million (Q1 2011: €18.7 million).
Direct result
NSI uses the direct result (rental income less operating costs, service costs not recharged, administrative costs and financing costs) as a measure for its core business and for its dividend policy.
The Q1 2012 direct result amounted to €16.2 million (Q1 2011: €12.8 million).
Gross rental income increased in Q1 2012 compared to Q1 2011, from €25.9 million to €41.5 million as a result of the merger with VNOI. Compared to Q4 2011 gross rental income showed a decline, mainly due to a lower occupancy rate in the Dutch office portfolio that was partly compensated by an improved performance of the Belgian portfolio. The retail portfolio maintained its strong performance.
The decreased occupancy rate in the office portfolio is mainly caused by a number of large leases that were not extended in Q1 2012. As mentioned before, the year 2012 shows a peak in lease expirations, in particular in the Dutch office market. In total 39,172 m2 expired (e.g. 15,157 m2 of "Het Vasteland" in Rotterdam) with an effect of 6.2% on the vacancy rate of the office portfolio. The retention rate in the office portfolio in Q1 2012 was 64%. Taking into account the effect of large leases that expired, the retention rate was in line compared with Q4 2011.
Operating costs as well as service costs not recharged in Q1 2012 developed in line with Q4 2011, €4.9 million and €1.5 million respectively.

The interest expenses increased in line with the increased size of the portfolio due to he merger with VNOI to €14.0 million in Q1 2012 (Q1 2011: €8.1), which is a decrease compared to Q4 2011 (€14.8 million) due to the closing of new interest rate swaps at a lower interest rate.
Indirect result
The indirect investment result for the first quarter of 2012 amounted to €33.3 million negative. The indirect result consists of both realised revaluations (sales results on investments sold) and unrealised revaluations. These unrealised revaluations concern the changes in the market value of the property portfolio (- €26.6 million) and the interest-rate hedging instruments (-€4.8 million).
NSI utilises interest-rate hedging instruments exclusively for hedging of operational interest rate risks. There is not a situation of "overhedging" nor is NSI exposed to margin calls. The value of the financial derivatives automatically reverts to zero at the end of the duration of these instruments.
The revaluation of the Dutch property portfolio in Q1 2012 amounted to - €23.8 million (Q1 2010: - €5.1 million) The value of the Swiss properties decreased due to the reclassification into assets held for sale; the expected sales costs have been deducted from the value of the portfolio. The Dutch office portfolio declined in value by €20.8 million. Although market rents are stable, occupancy rates are still under pressure which will keep pressure on valuations.
Extension of lease contracts resulted in a stable occupancy rate in the Belgian portfolio. The positive revaluation result was mainly realized in the industrial portfolio (logistics).

Balance-sheet ratios and finance
The value of the real estate investments amounted to €2,294 million on 31 March 2012 (31 March 2011: €1,358 million). This increase is the result of the balance of purchases, disposals, revaluations and investments, but in particular of the merger with VNOI. Loan-to-value remained more or less stable at 57.3% compared to 57.2% on 31 December 2012. NSI will remain active in lowering loan-to-value by disposing of assets that do not fit NSI's strategy. Debts to credit institutions amounted to €1,316 million on 31 March 2012.
Equity
NSI's equity decreased during the first quarter of 2012 by €14.2 million to €895.4 million. (31 December 2011: €909.6 million). This was the result of the balance of the Q1 2012 net loss (€13.7 million), the share buy-back programme (€0.5 million) and the increase of the other reserves due to exchange-rate differences. No dividend was paid out during Q1 2012.
The net asset value, including deferred tax and the market value of the derivatives, amounted to €12.68 per share on 31 March 2012 (31 March 2011: €13.86). If the deferred tax and the value of the derivatives are excluded (the net asset value according to EPRA), the net asset value amounts to €13.83 per share (31 March 2011: €14.27).
Financial ratios
The funding available to the company under the credit facilities committed as at 31 March 2012 amounted to €71.3 million (€102.7 million at year-end 2011). Net debts to credit institutions fell from €1,329.2 million at year-end 2011 to €1,315.7 million as at 31 March 2012. The average remaining maturity of the loans increased from 2.1 years at year-end 2011 to 2.3 years and the fixed-interest part of the mortgage loans increased from 91.3% at year-end 2011 to 91.6% as at 31 March 2012. The average interest rate on the loans and interest-rate hedging instruments increased from 4.2% to 4.3%, including margin, on 31 March 2012. The interest-rate coverage ratio was 2.5 on 31 March 2012 (31 December 2011: 2.4).
Interim dividend Q1 2012
The basic principle of the company's dividend policy is to distribute the entire direct result to shareholders as dividend. For the first quarter of 2012 the interim dividend will be €0.26 per share. Following the new dividend policy, as adopted by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, NSI offers shareholders optional dividend, e.g. the choice to receive dividend in cash, in shares, or a combination of both. For 2012 NSI aims at a 30-50% pay out of the dividend in stock. On 25 May 2012, NSI will set the interim dividend and announce further details.
Developments in the portfolio
The value of the real estate portfolio decreased by €27.6 million during Q1 2012, or 1.2%, from €2.322 million at year-end 2011 to €2.294 million. This decrease is the result of revaluations of - €26.6 million, investments of €1.9 million, exchange-rate differences of €1.1 million and the sale of an industrial property in St. Niklaas, Belgium, for € 4.0 million. In the Netherlands, NSI sold a small office property in Amsterdam in the Lairessestraat that no longer fitted NSI's strategy in April 2012.
The sales process for the Swiss portfolio is on track. Consequently, the Swiss portfolio is classified as assets held for sale.
As at 31 March 2012 the portfolio consisted of 96 residential properties and 274 commercial properties, spread across:
| Sector spread | in % | x €1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Offices | 57 | 1,315,127 |
| Retail | 29 | 661,566 |
| Industrial | 13 | 307,727 |

| Switzerland | 5 | 119,925 |
| Belgium | 26 | 589,524 |
| Total property investments | 100 | 2,294,260 |
Occupancy rate
The vacancy level in the entire portfolio as at 31 March 2012 amounted to 17.8% (31 December 2011: 15.9%). Vacancy levels per sector were: 24.0% in offices, 12.0% in industrial premises and 4.9% in retail. Per country this was 18.7% in the Netherlands, 7.6% in Switzerland and 16.6% in Belgium.
Retail:
The occupancy rate in the retail portfolio improved to 95.1% (Q4 2011: 94.9%) and remained at friction levels.
Offices:
The occupancy rate in the Dutch office portfolio decreased to 73.4% on 31 March 2012 compared to 77.3% at year end 2011. In Belgium the occupancy in the office portfolio was stable at 81.4%. In the industrial portfolio the occupancy rate improved to 88.0%. These developments were in line with expectations, based on actively anticipating the expiration calendar.
An above average amount of office leases (23%) will expire in 2012. This was also the case for Q1 2012. The decreased occupancy rate in the office portfolio is mainly caused by a number of large leases that were not extended in Q1 2012. In total 39,172 m2 expired (including 15,157 m2 of "Het Vasteland" in Rotterdam) with an effect of 6.2% on the vacancy rate of the office portfolio. A second effect here is that expirations have an immediate effect on the occupancy while new leases are kicking in with a delay. In 2013, a below average amount of office leases will expire (17%).The retention rate in the office portfolio in Q1 2012 was 64%. Taking into account the exceptionally high effect of large leases that expired in Q1 2012, the retention rate was in line with Q4 2011.
Contractual rental income from the portfolio amounted to €167.1 million as at 31 March 2012.

Notes to the figures for the first quarter 2012
1. Most important principles for valuation and determination of the result
The financial statements of NSI N.V. for the first quarter of 2012 were drawn up in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS, as approved within the European Union. This report on the first quarter of 2012 has been drawn up in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
For the most important principles for consolidation, valuation and determination of the result applied in this report, please refer to the published 2011 financial statements (see www.nsi.nl). The consolidated figures are drawn up on the basis of historical cost, except for property investments and financial derivatives, which are recognised at fair value. Unless stated otherwise, the figures are presented in thousands of euros rounded to the nearest thousand.
This report on the first quarter of 2012 was approved by the Management Board and Supervisory Board on 11 May 2012.
The compilation of this interim report in accordance with IFRS requires that the Management Board forms an opinion, and should make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported value of assets and liabilities, and of income and expenses. The estimates and the associated assumptions are based on past experience and various other factors that are regarded as reasonable. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The estimates and their underlying assumptions are continually assessed. Revisions of the estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision has consequences only for that period, or in the period of revision and future periods as well, if the revision has consequences for both the period under review and future periods.

Review report
To: the shareholders of NSI N.V.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information of NSI N.V. in Hoofddorp (statutory seat Hoorn), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31March 2012, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the period of 3 months ended 31March 2012, and the notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope
We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law including standard 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 31 March 2012 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.
