Pioneer Property Group ASA (PPG) is an investment company with a real estate focus. The current real estate portfolio of PPG includes the following segments:
PPG will continue to invest in real estate within these segments and enter into long-term triple-net leases with leading operators. PPG's real estate portfolio at the end of first half of 2024 consisted of three properties in the Preschools segment, seven properties in the Retail properties segment, four properties in the Hotel properties segment, one office property in addition to six properties in the Property development segment. There have not been any movements during HY24 in this respect.
In addition, PPG now holds joint ventures of seven hotel properties.
During first half of 2024, PPG has declared quarterly dividends to the holders of preference shares in total NOK 5.00 per preference share. As per the articles of association §5, the annual dividend to the holders of preference share is NOK 10.00 per preference share.
The first half of 2024 has also been strong for the hotel segment, as it were in 2023. Corrected for the sale of 50% of Köping and Strand Hotel in late 2023, the contractual rental income is in line with 2023 for the hotel segment and is expecting to stay strong throughout 2024.
On the other side, higher interest rates have increased interest cost for PPG and resulting in negative fair value adjustments for some properties, especially within the retail segment.
PPG established JV Havna Tjøme AS with Rica Eiendom AS. JV Havna Tjøme AS is regarded as an associate
company. The joint venture company, acquired Havna Tjøme Hotel based on a property value of MNOK 78, settled through a vendor note. The hotel will undergo refurbishment, expected to be financed by obtaining bank financing.

Hotel Properties segment consists of 4 hotel properties owned by PPG, and 7 properties recognized as associated companies, hence not included in the table above. Total lease income for the first half of 2024 for the Hotel Properties segment amounted to MNOK 18.0 in 1H 2024 compared to MNOK 29.9 in 1H 2023. The reduction is due to the sale of Köping and Strand to a joint venture company. The project in progress is related to zoning costs for Park Hotel in Voss. The fair property value for the hotel segment, based on third party valuations per 30.06.24, is MNOK 793.4.
The hotel lease agreements are triple-net in nature, while the lease income is derived from the highest of a minimum lease and a percent of the hotel turnover. The total annual minimum rent from the hotel properties is approximately MNOK 32. All of the hotel properties, except Forus Hotell, are rented out to Norlandia Hotel Group, who operates the hotels on franchise agreements with leading hotel brands. Norlandia Hotel Group is owned by Hospitality Invest AS.
Park Hotel Voss is scheduled for development of the whole property, adding additional hotel rooms to the project and possibly residential apartments. For the renovation and property development in Voss, the scope is yet not decided.

Pioneer Property Development is developing general commercial real estate and housing. In January 2023, the development rights for the PPG acquired the development rights related to the property in Evenes Airport, close to the terminal. The property is now used for parking and the parking lot was in first half of 2024 expanded with additional 700 parking spaces, increasing the capacity by 100%.
The property east of E10 which was purchased in 2021, is now developing with the construction of premises for Tesla, to be finished in first half of 2025, generating a lease income of almost 5MNOK. The financing of the constructions is secured through a bank loan.
Other existing projects within the segments include a housing project of 400 – 450 units in Mo i Rana, also in Northern Norway with local partners. Evenes is being consolidated into the accounts whilst the project in Mo i Rana is treated as an associated company.
In Brennemoen nearby Mysen, PPG is working together with Dag Hvaring and Studio City Norway AS in order to develop a studio city, with film, tv-studios backlots etc. and potentially expanding the current hotel.
The segment consists of 6 development projects and the lease income is mainly related to outdoor parking at Evenes airport.
All projects are long term in nature and are developing according to plan.
Fair value of the projects that are characterised as investment properties per 30.06.24 was MNOK 348.0. The fair value adjustments are mainly related to the development projects in Evenes. The Project in Progress has increased due to the building of premises for Tesla, and the zoning and development cost for Studio City.
| Office Properties (NOKt) | 1H 2024 | 1H 2023 |

| Total Income | 2 172 | 1 856 |

The office property segment was established in 2023 as a result of the acquisition of Terminalveien 10 in Bodø together with local investors. Total lease income for the first half of 2024 for the segment amounted to MNOK 2.2 in 1H 2024 compared to 1.9 in 1H 2023, with a fair property value based on third party valuations per 30.06.24 of MNOK 59.0.
No significant subsequent events has occurred since the end of first half of 2024.
Contractual rental income from the first half of 2024 was MNOK 49.0 compared to MNOK 49.8 for the first half of 2023. If we take the sale of Strand and Köping into consideration, the rent in first half of 2024 represents an increase of approximately 10%. The increase is related to rent income from the acquisition of new properties in 2023 and 2024 together with CPI-adjustments, combined with another strong first half year of revenue from the hotel operation, resulting in lease payments above the minimum rent.
Operating profit (EBIT) from continued operations for the first half of 2024 was a positive MNOK 44.1 compared to MNOK 61.6 for the first half of 2023. Profitability for the first half of 2024 was negatively impacted by fair value adjustments related to the retail segment of the portfolio. The decrease from 2023 is explained by lower fair value adjustments in 1H 2024 compared to adjustments 1H 2023, combined with increased interest expenses.
Gain from associated companies is due to positive result in the joint venture companies owning hotels and the investment in Norlandia Holding AS, which is held approximately 48% by PPG.
Net finance for the first half of 2024 amounted to a negative MNOK 27.3, compared to MNOK -19.3 for the first half of 2023. Net finance has been negatively impacted by interest expenses from new debt obtained. In 1H 2023, net finance was positively impacted of interest income from cash and deposits recorded in other financial income.
Profit for the first half of 2024 for total operations amounted to MNOK 14.5, compared to MNOK 39.3 for the first half of 2023, as explained above, the decrease from 2023 is due to a lower fair value adjustment in 1H 2024, compared to the fair value adjustment in 1H 2023.
At the end of the first half of 2024 PPG had total assets of MNOK 2,530.0 mainly compromised of MNOK 1,785.2 as investment property, investment in associated companies of MNOK 378.4, MNOK 84.2 in Hospitality Invest bonds and high yield funds and a cash balance of MNOK 56.8. Total equity amounted to MNOK 1,258.9 (1,369.8 in 1H 2023). At the end of the first half total borrowings amounted to MNOK 1.130,7 (1,080.3 in 1H 2023).
