  • Total revenues in the quarter were MNOK 51.1 and with a pre-tax profit of MNOK 18.2.
  • Revenues and profitability were in line with expectations, and profitability was significantly improved from the second quarter, which was heavily impacted by IPO-related costs.
  • On 30th September, PPG paid a dividend to holders of preference shares1 in total NOK 2.74 per preference share. From Q4 and onwards, the Company has an ambition of regular dividend payments, in line with PPG's articles of association – equivalent to NOK 1.875 per preference share per quarter.
  • The Company had total assets of MNOK 3,708, where Investment Property (112 preschools) were valued at MNOK 3,413 and with a cash balance of MNOK 211. Total debt was MNOK 2,097 and total equity of MNOK 1,610.

Background and strategy

Pioneer Property Group ASA (PPG) is a real estate company focusing on providing high-quality properties for government-backed care-services. The company's current portfolio consists of 112 Norwegian kindergartens centrally located in the largest cities and which house a total of over eleven thousand children. The properties are leased out on long-term triple-net contracts to large kindergarten operators, including Norlandia Care Group and Espira.

The company's property portfolio is a result of the acquisition from several independent preschool operators, again driven by these companies' wish to free-up resources and capital to be able to provide the highest quality possible in their primary focus area – preschool operations. Pioneer Property's kindergartens have during the later years played an important role in the improvement of the Norwegian preschool market, through improved capacity, quality and cost-efficiency.

Going forward the company's strategy is to expand its reach into care-services property with similar characteristics as the Norwegian kindergarten market – i.e. long term contracts with solid operators, again backed by government financing.

PPG's kindergartens are well located in central areas, including Stavanger, Bergen, Kristiansand, and the greater Oslo area. The average age of the properties is at a low eight year average, and the quality of the properties is therefore very high. In total the properties have a capacity in excess of eleven thousand children.

Key material events during the third quarter

The PPG group was established in the preceding quarter (Q2/2015) through the acquisition of four separate property portfolios, and also issued and listed MNOK 650 in preference shares on the Oslo Axess stock exchange (details, including prospectus and investor presentation, available via the PPG website). This quarter, Q3/2015, was therefore the first full operating quarter for the Company – and was uneventful in comparison to the second quarter, with all operations progressing as expected. Key event was the payment of the Company's first dividend to its preference shareholders on 30th September.

Overview of the financial accounts for the third quarter of 2015

Revenues of MNOK 51.1 represent a run-rate of MNOK 17 in monthly rental revenues. Operating costs were significantly reduced from the second quarter, and pre-tax profit for the second quarter was MNOK 18.2.

The balance sheet as of 30/9 includes Investment Property of MNOK 3,413, and material events took place that should have impacted this valuation level. In addition the company had MNOK 211 in cash balance at

1 Note that for the current year, «Dividend payments» are technically a repayment of paid in capital.

the end of the quarter – higher than required for PPG's underlying operations, but gives additional security to the Company's planned dividend payments to the preference share owners over the next few years. On the debt side, PPG had a total of MNOK 2,097 in debt, including two separate bond-loans in the subsidiaries Pioneer Property II AS and Pioneer Property III AS, which are stock exchange listed bonds and report separate financial reports.

Accounting policies:

The financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with International Standards for Financial Reporting (IFRS). The consolidated accounts for the third quarter were compiled in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. The financial statements of the third quarter is an update on the last report which is the second quarter, and are therefore intended to be read in conjunction with the report of the second quarter.

Outlook

No material subsequent events have occurred since the end of the financial quarter which should have an impact on the outlook for the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: Financial risk management

1.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by management under guidance by the Board of Directors. Management identifies, evaluates and act upon financial risks.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that future cash flows in the form of interest payments change as a result of changes in market interest rates. Management and the Board of Directors agree on an acceptable level of interest rate exposures, which are monitored continuously by management. The level of interest rate exposure is determined based on an assessment of existing cash flows, general assessment of financial condition and available liquidity.

(i) Fair value interest rate risk

The Group holds interest bearing assets in terms for cash deposits. Fluctuations in interest would yield a higher or lower interest income. At the current level of cash deposits a change in interest rate of +/- 1 % would not be material for the financial statements.

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. The Group holds several types of borrowings. Refer to note 9 for details. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.

(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk

Exposure to cash flow interest rate risk is assessed continuously. The need for a fixed rate is under constant review in relation to the Group to withstand adverse fluctuations in profit due to higher interest rates. Management's assessment is that the Group's current financial position does not indicate a need for fixed interest rates. The only fixed-interest agreements entered into by the end of Q3 2015 has been established as a result of demands from the lender in relation to the financing of individual purchases.

If the interest rate had been +/- 1 % in Q3 2015 the result after tax would be +/- MNOK 2.5 million, all other conditions unchanged.

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders holding ordinary shares, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including 'current and noncurrent borrowings' as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss when a party is unable to redeem their obligations to the Group.

Credit risk is managed on Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and credit exposures customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on ratings. The utilization of credit limits is monitored regularly.

No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from nonperformance by these counterparties.

Exposure to credit risk at the end of the period: 30-09-15
Accounts receivable 1,751
Other Short term receivable 81,764
Cash balance 210,973
Total exposure 294,488

The credit risk related to outstanding to related parties and banks is considered to be low.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring a significant increase in finance cost or not being able to meet its obligations at all. The risk also includes that the Group must forfeit investment opportunities. Cash flow forecasting is performed at Group level. Group management monitors the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom to avoid breaches in covenants on relevant borrowing facilities (refer to note 9), as well as capability to pay out quarterly dividends to holders of preference shares. The monitoring takes into account the Group's debt financing plans and covenant compliance.

The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The

amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows:

1.2 Capital management

The group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders holding ordinary shares, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including 'current and noncurrent borrowings' as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

Gearing ratio at the end of the period 30-09-15

Note 2: Segment Summary

The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of items in the statement of financial position within the next financial year are addressed below.

a) Fair value of Investment Properties.

The fair value of investment properties is assessed quarterly by management. The Investment Properties are on a regular basis subject to on-site inspections and technical evaluations.

The properties are valued using normal property valuation methodologies. All significant inputs are disclosed in note 11. All cash flows used in valuation calculations are based on long term contracts. Management assesses the cash flows to be stable without material uncertainty. The critical accounting estimates in the calculation, based on management's judgement is the yield.

The yield is calculated per investment property. The prime yield for pre-school properties is currently around 5.5%. Important input factors in the valuation are the property's location in relation to a major city, net-population change, size of the property/per child, year of build and whether or not the property is on a leased land (festetomt).

The average gross yield for the investment property portfolio is 6.0 %. Refer to note 11 for sensitivities.

Note 4: Contingencies and commitments

The Group has no contingent liabilities nor commitments as at 30 September 2015.

Note 5: Earnings per share

a) Basic

The Group's preference shares are entitled to a fixed dividend of NOK 7.50 per annum, if the General Assembly approves payment of dividends. To calculate the earnings per share the entitled dividend to the preference shares is deducted from comprehensive income for the period. The earnings per ordinary share is the remaining comprehensive income deducted the preference share dividend divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

Calculation of earnings per share for the period Q2 Q3 YTD
Comprehensive income for the period -4,293,789 11,851,000 7,556,722

Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue 5,145,220 9,814,470 9,814,470

b) Diluted

As per 30 September 2015 no rights are issued which cause diluted earnings per share to be different to basic earnings per share.

Refer to note 19 for information related to the classes of shares.

Dividend payment to preference shares for Q2 2015.

Holders of preference shares will receive a dividend amounting to NOK 1.875 per share quarterly. The payment issued 30 September 2015 included an additional amount of NOK 0.86301 per share, relating to the number of days in Q2. In total NOK 17,797 million was paid to holders of preference shares. The additional amount is based on the following, as disclosed in the Company's Articles of Association: 7.5%

interest on the IPO subscription rate (NOK 100) adjusted for number of days from registration of the preference shares in the Company register (Foretaksregisteret) until 30 June 2015 divided by 365 days per year. The preference shares were registered 19 May 2015.

Note 10: Changes in group structure, acquisitions during the year and subsidiaries

The Company was incorporated 5 January 2015. The Group was formed after the acquisition of Pioneer Public Properties I AS, (PPP I), Pioneer Public Properties II AS (PPP II), Pioneer Public Properties III AS (PPP III) and Pioneer Public Properties IV AS (PPP IV) on 12 May 2015.

The acquisitions of PPP I, PPP II AS, PPP III and PPP IV included investment properties, liabilities and rent agreements. No employee or management contract was included in the acquisition. Based on the underlying facts and circumstances, management has evaluated that the purchases were not in scope of IFRS 3, but a purchase of a group of assets. Therefore no goodwill was recognized and the initial recognition exemption for recognising deferred tax was applied.

The following table summarises the consideration paid for PPP, PPP II, PPP III and PPP IV, the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

The ordinary shares: The Company's ordinary share confers one vote unlike the preference shares that confer one-tenth of a vote.

The preference share: The Company's preference shares confer a preferential right over ordinary shares to an annual dividend of NOK 7.50 per preference share. Dividend payments are made quarterly with NOK 1.875 per preference share, if approved by the General Assembly. The preference share does not otherwise confer a right to dividend. If the general meeting decided not to pay dividends or to pay dividends that fall below NOK 1.875 per preference share during a quarter, the difference between paid dividends and NOK 1.875 per preference share shall be accumulated and adjusted upwards with an annual interest rate of 5 per cent until full dividends have been distributed. No dividends may be distributed to the ordinary shareholders until the preference shareholders have received full dividends including the withheld amount. Any difference between NOK

1.875 per preference share and the dividend paid per preference share is accumulated for each quarter.
