Operations and strategy

Pioneer Property Group ASA (PPG) is an investment company with a real estate focus. As previously communicated PPG has since the beginning of 2020 expanded its real estate activities into new areas and the current portfolio does no longer only contain preschool properties spread over different geographies. Therefore, PPG will from 2021 instead start to report based on the characteristics of the properties and hence report on the following segments:

    1. Preschools
    1. Hotel Properties
    1. Retail Properties
    1. Property Development

Simplified legal structure

The focus area for PPG will be to continue to invest in real estate within these segments and enter into longterm triple-net leases with leading operators. PPG may also in the future establish a new segment with a focus on investments within commercial real estate, such as office buildings. PPG's real estate portfolio per the first half of 2021 consisted of one preschool property, two retail properties, five hotel properties in addition to five development projects. Further, PPG holds a 9.4% stake in Odin Bidco AS which owns a real estate portfolio of ~215 preschools at mainly long-term triple-net contracts primarily in the Nordics.

Key material events during the first half of 2021

COVID-19 represents an extraordinary situation that materialised in the spring of 2020, and which has continued into 2021. It is uncertain how the pandemic will impact society as a whole and thus how it may affect the group going forward. The overall material risk factors for the group are estimated to be a potential reduction of rent income and change in interest rate affecting borrowing costs, interest rate income as well as it may change the yield levels affecting real estate valuations. PPGs lease agreements are triple-net and not linked to any kind of utilisation, expect for the hotel properties where the lease payments are based on the

highest of a minimum rent and a percentage of the hotel's turnover. All of the hotels owned are at the time of acquisition paying minimum rent, and the company has at present not received any COVID -19 related tenant inquiries. However, PPG expects a minor reduction in rental income from the Swedish hotels due to the pandemic. As the pandemic eventually is expected to slow down it is projected that the lease income from the Hotel Properties segment will increase above minimum rent. Furthermore, it is difficult to estimate the financial impact at present with regards to interest rate effects, as both the macro-economic consequences and the duration of COVID-19 are uncertain. In terms of financial performance there are no material adverse effects on PPG's financials from the first half of 2021 that are linked to COVID-19.

In May 2021 PPG subscribed in a share capital increase in Odin Bidco AS in order for the Odin Bidco group to be capitalised to close an acquisition of a new real estate portfolio. PPG increased its investment with approximately MNOK 22, diluting its overall ownership down to 9.4% from 10%. After the investment PPG no longer has any equity commitment to Odin Bidco. At year end 2020 PPG no longer held significant influence in the company and therefore derecognised Odin Bidco as an associated company. It is now held as a financial investment at fair value and per 30.06 PPG's Odin Bidco investment is valued to MNOK 355 based on third party valuations.

During the first half of 2021, PPG declared two quarterly dividends to the holders of preference shares in total NOK 4.25 per preference share. As per the articles of association §5, the annual preferred dividend to the holders of preference share will increase by NOK 1 per preference share from 01. July 2021. Further PPG paid a dividend to the holders of the ordinary shares in total of NOK 3.645 per ordinary shares, in addition to a dividend in the amount of NOK 1.291 per relevant ordinary share distributed to the ordinary shares held by Eidissen Consult AS and Grafo AS.

In May 2021 PPG sold all of its bond holdings in Norlandia Health & Care Group AS (NHC) to Hospitality Invest AS as payment in kind for an acquisition of four hotel properties as explained in in the Hotel Properties segment. The payment in kind was completed with the following par values: i) NHC01: MNOK 196 and ii) NHC02: MSEK 163.5, at the following bond prices (based on broker quotes): i) NHC01: 100.375 and ii) NHC02: 100.375. A majority of the bonds were bought during the Covid-19 financial downturn in March 2020 with an overall average cost of low 70s, and thus significant fair value revaluations has since been recorded prior to, and in relation to, the sale of the bonds. In terms of other financial investments PPG still holds per 30.06 bonds in Hospitality Invest AS (HOIN02) with a par value of MNOK 50, which has now increased back to par. Further the high yield funds have in total recovered to a level slightly above PPGs initial investment.

The Preschool segment consists of one preschool property owned by PPG. Further PPG owns 9.4% in Odin Bidco which owns a total of approximately 215 preschool properties. The Odin Bidco investment is held as a financial investment and therefore not consolidated into the PPG numbers. Total lease income for the first half of 2021 for the Preschool segment amounted to MNOK 0.2 with a fair property value based on third party valuation of the property owned by PPG per 30.06.21 of MNOK 11.5. There have been no material events for the segment for the first half of 2021.

Pioneer Retail Properties AS was established to procure and build facilities for retail properties, mainly for the Ferda group all over Norway. The Retail Properties segment consists of 2 retail properties owned by PPG, with one more acquired subsequent to the balance sheet date. Total lease income for the first half of 2021 for the retail properties segment amounted to MNOK 5.8 with a fair property value based on third party valuations per 30.06.21 of MNOK 326.0.

Over the period PPG's subsidiary Pioneer Retail Properties AS acquired Ås Næring AS and Askjem Eiendom AS for a total share purchase price of approximately MNOK 120, settled in cash and the by way of a vendor note with three years duration. The acquired companies own real properties in Tønsberg municipality, and rent these out to Askjems Camping-Center AS (now Ferda Tønsberg AS) which uses the properties in its business within sale and rental of caravans and motorhomes. Simultaneously Ferda Gruppen AS acquired 100% of the shares in Askjems Camping-Center AS. Askjems Camping-Center AS will continue as lessor of the properties in Tønsberg, following Ferda Gruppen AS' acquisition and new 15-year triple-net lease agreement was entered into in relation to the acquisition. The combination of a new lease agreement, supported by the Ferda Group, in addition to a rent level on updated market terms resulted in a higher third party valuation per 30.06.21 and thus PPG has recognised a positive fair value revaluation. In terms of property count Askjems has been counted as one property in the PPG portfolio and it is expected to increase PPG's annual lease income with approximately MNOK 16.4.

Pioneer Hotel Properties AS was established to acquire hotel properties through the downturn following the Covid-19 pandemic across the Nordics and Europe. The Hotel Properties segment consists of five hotel properties owned by PPG, with one more acquired subsequent to the balance sheet date. Total lease income for the first half of 2021 for the Hotel Properties segment amounted to MNOK 6.2 with a fair property value based on third party valuations per 30.06.21 of MNOK 770.0.

PPG acquired in May 2021 through Pioneer Hotel Properties AS four hotel properties from Hospitality Invest AS:

  • I) Brennemoen Hotel Eiendom AS, which owns Scandic Brennemoen Hotel;
  • II) Guard Hotell AS and Guard Hotell II AS, which own Park Inn by Radisson Airport Hotel;
  • III) Strand Hotel Borgholm Fastighets AB, which owns Strand Hotel Borgholm; and
  • IV) Köping Hotellfastighet AB, which owns Best Western Hotel Scheele.

The total property valuation of the companies was MNOK 566.6 based on third party valuations, while the total purchase price, adjusted for net debt and other customary balance sheet adjustments, including repayment of

shareholder loans to Hospitality Invest AS, was MNOK 389.7. The purchase price has been settled through a cash consideration of MNOK 30.8 and through bonds in Norlandia Health & Care Group AS ("NHC") as payment in kind as previously explained.

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 acquired hotel properties is approximately MNOK 35 which is expected to increase to a turnover based rent above the minimum level post Covid-19 when the world normalises. The four acquired hotels 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. The Guard and Brennemoen hotels were already financed on an 50- 60% LTV basis, while Strand and Köping are unencumbered. Further debt may be obtained on these properties for overall liquidity purposes going forward.

In relation to the creation of the Hotel Properties segment, PPG also established Up North Property AS, which is 90.1% owned by Pioneer Hotel Properties and 9.9% indirectly owned by Svein Arild Mevold, who was the previous CEO of Scandic Norway. Up North Property's strategy is to acquire hotel properties in the Nordics and Europe, where there is an opportunity to change the hotels market position through reconfigurations and renovations for the hotel to adapt to a changed hotel market. Up North Property's first acquisition was done in May when it acquired Forum Hotellbygg AS, which owns the property Scandic Forum Stavanger – a 182 room 23 story signal building with close proximity to Stavanger Forum. The hotel has a lease agreement with Scandic which expires in September 21, and a new lease agreement with Up North Hospitality AS, who has a management agreement with Norlandia Hotel Group, will be entered into. Up North Property is owned 90.1% by Hospitality Invest and the remaining indirectly by Svein Arild Mevold. The hotel will further undergo renovations in 2021 and 2022 with limited rent income contributions expected from the property over the renovation period.

Pioneer Property Development will concentrate on the development of general commercial real estate and housing. The segment consists of 5 development projects and there are no lease income for the segment. Fair value for the projects that are characterised as investment properties, mainly Evenes Tomteselskap, based on third party valuations per 30.06.21 was MNOK 42.3.

During the first half of 2021 PPG, through Pioneer Development AS, acquired a 49 000 m2 plot together with local partners at Ramstadsletta in Bærum, Norway. The plot has an expected potential to develop around 70 000 m2 of residential and commercial real estate and PPG has an ownership in the project of approximately 40%. The company is treated as an associated company in the accounts.

Existing projects within the segments include developing a 400 000 m2 greenfield area in close proximity to the Evenes airport in Northern Norway as well as in a housing project of 400 – 450 units in Mo i Rana, also in Northern Norway. Both projects are joint ventures with local partners. Evenes is being consolidated into the accounts whilst the project in Mo i Rana is treated as an associated company. Further PPG is currently building a new retail property in Evenes and one in Mo I Rana, which will be leased out to Ferda upon completion.

All projects are long term in nature and are developing according to plan.

Subsequent events since the end of the first half of 2021

In July 2021 Up North Property, a subsidiary of Pioneer Hotel Properties, acquired 50% of Park Hotel Eiendom AS, together with a local partner, which owns the property Park Hotel Vossevangen in Voss city centre in Norway. The hotel consists of 122 rooms and the hotel is situated right next to the lake and just across the street from the new gondola. The hotel operating company was simultaneously acquired by Up North Hospitality AS. The hotel will undergo renovations through 2021 and 2022 with limited rent income contributions expected from the property over the renovation period. Further a new lease agreement with Up North Hospitality AS, who has a management agreement with Norlandia Hotel Group, will be entered into.

Within Retail Properties, PPG acquired in July 2021 Caravan Eiendom Grimstad AS which owns a property outside of Grimstad which is used for sale and rental of caravans and motorhomes and rented out to Ferda.

Overview of the financial accounts for the first half of 2021

Total revenue from continued operations from the first half of 2021 was MNOK 12.2 compared to MNOK 0.2 for the first half of 2020. The increase is related to the acquisition of new properties over the period, mainly within Retail Properties and Hotel Properties.

Operating profit (EBIT) from continued operations for the first half of 2021 was a positive MNOK 131.4 compared to a negative MNOK 5.7 for the first half of 2020. Profitability for the first half of 2021 was affected by positive fair value adjustments related mainly to the acquisition of Askjems, primarily related to new lease agreements, in addition to a positive revision for the properties in Hotel Properties from the time of acquisition.

Net finance for the first half of 2021 amounted to MNOK 53.3 compared to MNOK 34.3 for the first half of 2020. Net finance was mainly positively impacted by gain of sale from the sold NHC bonds recorded in other financial income, in addition to a positive fair value revision for Odin Bidco of MNOK 25.8, Hospitality Invest bonds of MNOK 1.5 and the two high yield funds of MNOK 7.4.

Profit for the first half of 2021 for total operations amounted to MNOK 157.1 compared to MNOK 23.5 for the first half of 2020.

In December 2020 PPG, through its wholly owned subsidiary Pioneer Property Group International AS, sold its international preschool portfolio of 12 preschools in Netherlands, Poland and Sweden to a subsidiary of Kinland AS. The numbers for 1H 2020 have thus been re-stated, and the income from the international portfolio has been moved to discontinued operations.

Note 3: Segments

The Group's main business is to own and manage Investment Properties and rent them out. The Group has in 2020 expanded its real estate activities into new areas with difference in property type and risk. The Group is therefore now considered to operate in 4 business areas: i) Preschools, ii) Hotel Properties, iii) Retail Properties and IV) Property Development.
