Successful realisations confirm the strategy in difficult Covid-19 circumstances

ANNUAL RESULTS 2020

FEBRUARY 26, 2021 – 5:40 PM Regulated information

EPRA-profit decreased with 27.93% to 6.52 MEUR in 2020 (9.04 MEUR in 2019). The EPRA earnings per share amount to 0.91 EUR, a decrease of 29.37% compared to 2019. The impact as a result of COVID-19 amounts to 0.18 EUR (13.91%) on the EPRA earnings per share.

1.30 MEUR

COVID-19 impact on the realized rental income for 2020 amounts to 1.30 MEUR, which corresponds to a loss of 10.51% of the expected rental income. Qrf has reached an agreement with more than 95% of its tenants on the rents for both periods of closure.

0.80 EUR par action

Proposed stable gross dividend of 0.80 EUR per share, representing a payout ratio of EPRA Earnings of 87.81%, and a gross dividend yield of 7.04% based on the closing price of 31 December 2020 of 11.35 EUR. Qrf is introducing an optional dividend to its shareholders for the first time.

49.28%

Debt ratio of 49.28% at the end of 2020 (vs. 48.73% at the end of 2019). The evolution in debt ratio is a result of the use of the proceeds from the sale of Non-Core locations and the realization of the start of Joint Venture projects, as well as the investment in the Bruges State Archives. The Average Financing Cost was 1.85% in 2020 (compared to 1.87% in 2019).

208.43 MEUR

Qrf PRESS RELEASE ◼ ANNUAL RESULTS 2020 2 Highlights6.52 MEUR Fair Value of the portfolio of 208.43 MEUR of which 185.04 MEUR (88.78%) in Core locations and 23.39 MEUR (11.22%) in Non-Core locations. In addition, 24.95 MEUR is held in real estate projects through financial participations in Joint Ventures. The IFRS NAV per share is 16.33 EUR (-8.77% compared to 31 December 2019) and the EPRA NTA (Net Tangible Assets) 16.71 EUR (-8.12% compared to 31 December 2019).

97.59%

Acquisition of the State Archives in Bruges for 20.64 MEUR, with an annual rental income of 1.38 MEUR, which determines 10.73% of the contractual rental income with a lease length until mid-2037 without early termination options.

Refinancing of 30 MEUR credit lines for a period of 3 years with an average financing cost of 1.62%.

Appointment of Stefanie Vanden Broucke as dependent director. Ms. Vanden Broucke has 18 years of experience in the realization of complex inner-city real estate projects and consequently brings forward-looking real estate expertise to the Board of Directors.

Perspectives

Expected Gross dividend of 0.80 EUR per share for 2021 based on the information known today. The expected fall in the EPRA result in 2021, due to the impact of the temporary loss of rental income for the projects under development, will not detract from this dividend forecast.

1 Commercial Results

1.1 COVID-19 IMPACT

The mandatory closure of non-essential stores in Belgium and the Netherlands, and other restrictive government measures, have had an impact on shopping behavior throughout the year and consequently a substantial impact on our tenants.

Throughout the year, Qrf has supported its tenants on an individual basis, with the option of deferment of payment or rent remission. Various factors were taken into account, including the type of tenant, the tenant's financial situation, the remaining term of the lease, the history and future prospects of the relationship between the two parties.

In addition, Qrf has agreed to additional conditions with regard to the remission of part of the rent owed with most of its solvent tenants. The waiver is considered a deferred payment obligation that is only definitively waived if the Commercial Rental Agreement is in effect and unchanged on the first day of the next three-year period, and thus de facto the tenant does not exercise the next contractual break option.

The total impact on the rental result for 2020 of this partial and conditional remission amounts to 1.30 MEUR or 10.51% of the total budgeted rental income.

Of this, 1.19 MEUR can be allocated to rent remissions that Qrf has given to solvent and long-term partners, and 0.11 MEUR can be allocated to the limited exposure to bancruptices (Wibra, Orchestra-Prémaman and Neckermann).

In addition, the COVID-19 crisis had a negative impact on the value of the real estate portfolio, amounting to 12.05 MEUR at 31 December 2020. This represents a relative decrease of 6.03% compared to 31 December 2019:

  • on the Non-Core properties 1.03 MEUR was written down, which is a decrease of 4.68% compared to the Fair Value of the Non-Core portfolio as at 31 December 2019;
  • 11.02 MEUR was written down on the Core properties, which is a decrease of 6.20% compared to the Fair Value of the Core portfolio as at 31 December 2019.

Relatively speaking, the valuation of the Non-Core properties showed a smaller decrease than that of the Core properties as a result of the relatively higher downward revaluation that was already processed in 2019.

1.2 FURTHER OPTIMIZATION OF THE EXISTING REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO

In 2020, two locations were sold for net proceeds of 7.11 MEUR, with a capital gain of 0.57 MEUR (or 8.89%) on the most recent Fair Value. Both the location in Wilrijk, Boomsesteenweg 935-937 and the location in Hasselt, Koning Albertstraat 60, belonged to the Non-Core portfolio.

1.3 REDEVELOPMENTS

Since the IPO in 2013 (Century Center, Antwerp) and a contribution in kind in 2016 (Bondgenotenlaan, Leuven), Qrf has had two interesting redevelopment projects in its portfolio. The most recent Fair Value of both projects amounted to 45.4 MEUR or 18.04% of the total real estate portfolio.

For both development projects, Qrf started the announced collaboration with a specialist developer in 2020 and will retain 30% of the shares in the respective joint ventures:

  • the contribution in kind of Bondgenotenlaan (together with the property on Jan Stasstraat), Leuven, took place on 24 June 2020 and was contributed to the joint venture company Bond 58 NV between Qrf and Dyls;
  • the Qrf ownership of parts of the Century Center were contributed on December 22, 2020 to the joint venture company Century Center Offices NV between Qrf and Baltisse.

Thanks to both transactions, 20.34 MEUR in cash was received and participations in joint venture companies worth 24.95 MEUR are held as at 31 December 2020.

Participating as a minority shareholder in redevelopment projects within the own portfolio has the advantage that: (1) a significant part of liquidity was obtained immediately and can be reinvested, (2) Qrf also benefits from the many years of experience of development partners and (3) that Qrf has a higher expected return on realization of the development compared to traditional rental income over the life of the development.

It should be taken into account that the redevelopment of locations requires that limited rental income is realized in the joint ventures in the interim period (from 2021 until completion).

Qrf expects an annual return (IRR) on both projects that is higher than the existing rental yield. Given that these are development projects, however, this annual return will not be reflected in the EPRA figures during the years of development, and the return will be realized on the sale of both projects.

1.4 ACQUISITION IN LINE WITH STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE OF DIVERSIFICATION OF THE REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO

On 1 December 2020, the State Archives in Bruges was acquired through the acquisition of 100% of the shares in RAB Invest NV for an amount of 20.64 MEUR. With the acquisition, Qrf takes an important step in the diversification of the real estate portfolio to a more balanced portfolio with a focus on consumer-oriented real estate in the main central cities of Belgium and the Netherlands.

The annual rental income amounts to 1.38 MEUR (10.73% of the contractual rents at the end of December 2020). The lease will run until mid-2037 without any early termination options.

With this acquisition, the loss of contractual rents as a result of the start of the redevelopment projects in Leuven and Antwerp (-2,25 MEUR compared to 31 December 2019) will be partially offset, with a greatly reduced risk profile compared to existing rents of the two redevelopment projects. Furthermore, these projects will generate a return in 3 to 4 years which will be higher than the rent return on the real estate portfolio..

2 Corporate Governance

2.1 APPOINTMENT OF STEFANIE VANDEN BROUCKE AS DEPENDENT DIRECTOR

Ms. Stefanie Vanden Broucke was appointed as Dependent Director, subject to approval by the FSMA.

Ms. Vanden Broucke has more than 18 years of experience in project development of complex inner-city mixed-use projects, first as project manager at Leiedal, then as director of development at Vanhaerents Development and most recently as general manager of Caaap. She obtained her master's degree in organizational psychology from KU Leuven, her master's degree in business economics from Ghent University and her postgraduate degree in real estate studies from KU Leuven.

With this appointment, Qrf expands the expertise of its Board of Directors with a profile that knows and manages the complex challenges of inner-city real estate projects.

2.2 OPTION OF DIVIDEND SELECTION

The Board of Directors of Qrf proposes to the General Meeting a gross dividend of 0.80 EUR for 2020, which means a payout ratio of EPRA result of 87.81%, and a gross dividend yield of 7.04% on the closing price as at 31 December 2020 of 11.35 EUR.

In addition, the Board of Directors will submit a request to the shareholders to approve and introduce an optional dividend, whereby shareholders have the option of contributing the net dividend claim to the capital, against the issue of new ordinary shares, or the net dividend. to be received in cash, or to opt for a combination of the two previous options.

As Qrf is paying an optional dividend for the first time and because of the special situation that arises in this context, Qrf wants to ensure that there is sufficient support among the shareholders. A Special General Meeting will be convened for this purpose, at which an alignment of the articles of association with the new code of companies and associations will be proposed.

2.3 SCHEDULED EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Qrf is planning an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in April to deliberate and decide on:

  • the proposed transformation of Qrf from a limited partnership with shares (Comm. VA) to a public limited company (NV) with sole director;
  • the amendments of Qrf's articles of association to the new Companies and Associations Code;
  • the extension of the authorization to acquire, pledge and dispose of own shares,
  • the option of an optional dividend and the related capital increase.

3.2 RESULTS

The net rental result decreased by 26.26% from 15.10 MEUR in 2019 to 11.14 MEUR in 2020. This decline is mainly attributable to the sale of properties in 2019 and 2020 and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The recurring decrease in the net rental result (2.67 MEUR) is partly due to the divestments realized in 2019 (0.75 MEUR), in 2020 (0.27 MEUR) and the start-up of the joint venture in Leuven (0.54 MEUR). Furthermore, the global agreement with H&M (with full effect in 2020), including the lease incentives given to the new tenant in Hasselt, has an impact of 1.07 MEUR. The other rental income remained virtually stable (-0.04 MEUR).

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the net rental result, amounting to 1.30 MEUR. This was partly due to the temporary, and in many cases conditional, rent remissions that Qrf has given to solvent and long-term partners for a total of 1.19 MEUR. In addition, there was limited exposure to unpaid and non-recoverable rents due to bankruptcies (Wibra, Orchestra-Prémaman and Neckermann).

This declining net rental result led to a decrease in the operating result for the result on the portfolio, which at 8.91 MEUR was 24.79% lower than in 2019 (11.85 MEUR). However, as a result of the insourcing of the management of the Belgian real estate portfolio as well as an overall stricter cost management, the operating margin increased from 78.50% in 2019 to 80.05% in 2020.

8 Shares are counted pro-rata temporis from the time of issue. The time of issue differs in this case from the time of profit sharing.

9 IFRS NAV per share = Net Asset Value per share according to IFRS.

10 Premium/Discount relative to IFRS NAV =[(Closing share price at the end of the period/(IFRS NAV per share at the end the period)-1].

11 EPRA NTA per share = Net Tangible Assets according to EPRA Best Practices Recommendations.

12 Premium/Discount relative to EPRA NAV = [(Closing share price at the end of the period/(EPRA NAV per share at the end of the period)-1].

The portfolio result for 2020, amounting to -12.73 MEUR (vs. -28.91 MEUR in 2019) is mainly the result of the negative variations in the Fair Value of the investment properties for an amount of 13.02 MEUR. The Fair value of the Belgian part of the portfolio showed a negative evolution of 10.60 MEUR, the negative evolution in the Dutch portfolio was 2.42 MEUR. In addition, a positive result on the sale of investment properties (0.68 MEUR) was recorded.

The financial result amounts to -2.02 MEUR in 2020 (compared to -3.65 MEUR in 2019). The net interest expenses decreased from 2.59 MEUR in 2019 to 2.14 MEUR in 2020. This decrease is due to a decrease in the average amount of loans drawn by 22.35 MEUR (or 16.14% compared to 2019), combined with a decrease in the average financing cost to 1.85% (compared to 1.87% in 2019). The decrease in the average amount of borrowings is mainly due to the debt reduction realized with the proceeds from the sale of Non-Core properties in 2019. The increase in other financial costs is mainly related to higher reservation commissions as a result of the higher volume of available credit lines compared to 2019.

Finally, the variation in the Fair Value of the financial assets and liabilities was slightly positive in 2020 compared to a significant decrease that occurred in 2019 (+0.92 MEUR).

Taxes contribute to 2020 for 0.53 MEUR in part to the result as a consequence of the movement in the temporary difference between the real and tax value of the properties in the Netherlands (0.52 million).

The Net result (group share) increased from -20.48 MEUR in 2019 to -5.31 MEUR in 2020, or from -2.91 EUR per share in 2019 to -0.74 EUR per share in 2020.

After correction for the portfolio result (12.73 MEUR), the profit realised on the contribution in kind of the shares in CCFH (0.38 MEUR) and the deferred taxes with regard to EPRA adjustments (-0.49 MEUR), Qrf records a decrease in the EPRA result of 23.93% to 6.52 MEUR in 2020 (compared to 9.04 MEUR in 2019). This decrease is largely a result of the necessary actions taken in 2019 (sales program Non-Core properties & setting up JVs) that had their full effect in 2020, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partly offset by better cost control.

The EPRA earnings per share decreased to 0.91 EUR in 2020 (-29.37% compared to 2019).

By reducing its net debt burden in 2020, Qrf is free to choose whether or not to pay out a dividend on the basis of Article 13 of the RREC Royal Decree, as well as the associated payout ratio. With a view to further strengthening the company's balance sheet as well as pursuing a long-term and sustainable dividend policy, the Board of Directors of the Statutory Manager has decided to propose a gross dividend of 0.80 EUR per share (5.72 MEUR) to the General Meeting of Shareholders. This reflects a payout ratio of the EPRA result of 87.81%.

3.3 BALANCE SHEET

On 31 December 2020, the Fair Value of the investment properties amounts to 208.43 MEUR, compared to 251.65 MEUR on 31 December 2019, a decrease of 17.17%:

  • throughout 2020, the two joint venture projects were completed in resp. Leuven (-18.64 MEUR) and Antwerp (-26.91 MEUR). Qrf still keeps 30% of the two projects in its portfolio as financial participation (24.95 MEUR);
  • the Non-Core portfolio was also further reduced with the sale of Hasselt Koning Albertstraat 60 (-1.63 MEUR) and Wilrijk Boomsesteenweg 925-937 (-4.76 MEUR);
  • at the end of 2020, the State Archives in Bruges contributed to the portfolio for 20.77 MEUR;
  • finally, in 2020, a write-down of 11.8113 MEUR was booked.

Overall, the portfolio is valued by the real estate expert at a gross rental yield of 6.17%. At the end of 2020, the portfolio comprises 37 properties, of which 26 Core and 11 Non-Core. The Fair Value of the portfolio can be divided into 185.04 MEUR Core (88.79%), valued at a gross rental yield of 6.03%, and 23.39 MEUR Non-Core (11.21%), valued at a gross rental yield of 7.32%.

The group's equity decreased by 8.75% from 128.03 MEUR on 31 December 2019 to 116.83 MEUR on 31 December 2020.

The IFRS NAV per share decreased by 8.22% from 17.90 EUR on 31 December 2019 to 16.43 EUR on 31 December 2020. EPRA published three new NAV indicators to replace EPRA NAV. The new indicators are EPRA NTA (Net Tangible Assets), EPRA NRV (Net Reinstatement Value) and EPRA NDV (Net Disposal Value). The EPRA NTA is largely in line with the former EPRA NAV.

The EPRA NTA per share decreased by 8.12% from 18.19 to 16.71 EUR over the same period.

The debt ratio has increased to 49.55% on 31 December 2020 (from 48.73% on 31 December 2019).

13 Including the write-off of the investments made the changes in Fair Value of investment properties amounts to 13.01 MEUR.

3.4 FINANCING STRUCTURE

On 31 December 2020, Qrf had 115.5 MEUR in financial debts that consist of:

  • bilateral credit lines drawn down for an amount of 110.00 MEUR. The drawn down bilateral credit lines have been concluded with 7 different financial institutions with maturity dates well spread between 2020 and 2026. The weighted average remaining term of these drawn down credit lines is 3.2 years.
  • Commercial Paper (treasury certificates) for an amount of 5.5 MEUR. The full amount of outstanding short-term notes is backed by available long-term credit lines (back-up lines).

At the end of 2020, three credit lines that matured in resp. December 2020 and April 2021 extended until the end of 2023 - end of 2024. With these extensions, the belief in the new strategy of Qrf is also endorsed by the banks. Over the next 12 months, two lines of credit with a total value of 15.0 MEUR will come to maturity, of which only 5 MEUR has been drawn down.

The Average Financing Cost is 1.85% in 2020 (compared to 1.87% in 2019).

The composition of the financial debts on 31 December 2020 is as follows:

On 31 December 2020, 98.7% of financial debts (total of drawn lines of credit and outstanding treasury notes) had a fixed interest rate, partly due to the use of Interest Rate Swaps as a hedging instrument. The fixed interest rates have a weighted average remaining term of 3.2 years.

The total value of the hedges at the closing date was negative for an amount of 1.77 MEUR due to a decrease in the interest rates after the closing of the hedges. Qrf points out that thorugh hedges it wishes to protect the company as much as possible against a possible rise in interest rates.

3.5 EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

After balance sheet date, a sale was realized (binding purchase/sale agreement) for a net proceeds of 0.8 MEUR, for a property located at A. Buylstraat 35, Ostend. The sale was realized 5.26% above the latest Fair Value. The sale will materialize at the end of August 2021 and until then Qrf will retain the rental income.

4 Outlook

The course of 2021 is still subject to uncertainties regarding leisure activities in Belgium and the Netherlands. Especially in the Netherlands, Qrf is taking into account the current closure of non-essential stores until the end of March. As far as Belgium is concerned, Qrf does not foresee an additional complete closure taking place, but targeted closures can still take place, as well as an extended closure of the restaurant industry until spring.

With regard to the short-term impact on the expected rental results, Qrf therefore assumes that these are limited to partial rent remissions for the Dutch non-essential stores in the portfolio and for the limited exposure to individual restaurant tenants in Belgium.

In addition, the emphasis in 2021 will be on managing possible credit risk on a few specific tenants, and re-letting of vacant locations.

Qrf also expects a decline in recurring rental income as a result of the contribution of Bondgenotenlaan, Leuven and Century Center to joint venture development companies.

On the other hand, there is a positive effect on rental income from the acquisition of the State Archives in Bruges.

Based on the information and estimates known today, Qrf will maintain its mediumterm dividend policy of at least 0.80 EUR per share for 2021.
