Commenting on the results, Jean-Marie Tritant, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"H1 was characterised by strong operating performance across all activities. In retail, this meant higher year-on-year footfall and tenant sales - outperforming National Sales Indices in the US and Europe - as well as continued robust leasing activity.

Our Convention and Exhibition business delivered record results thanks to the early impact of the Olympic Games in Paris, where Viparis venues are hosting a number of competitions and operational hubs. Our Offices business also benefitted from the leasing progress of the Trinity tower in Paris La Défense.

H1 was a strong period for retail media with revenues up significantly. We are on track to meet our 2024 net margin target thanks to our in-mall network that now totals almost 1,800 screens in Europe.

Following the announcement of significant cost overruns at Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, we have taken a number of initial actions and mitigation measures, and are working towards the retail opening on October 17, 2024.

Despite challenging investment market conditions, we have secured around €300 million in disposals, and are currently in active discussions on €1 billion of assets.

We reconfirm our 2024 AREPS and distribution guidance."

H1-2024 AREPS: €5.14

Reported AREPS amounted to €5.14, down -2.7% compared to H1-2023. It was supported by the strong operational performance in retail, offices, and Convention & Exhibition (C&E) which benefitted from biennial show seasonality and the early impact from the Paris Olympics and Paralympics (the "Olympics"), partly offset by 2023 disposals and the increase in hybrid coupon.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Shopping Centres

Like-for-like shopping centre NRI10 was up by +5.3% for the Group and in Continental Europe, +8.1% in the UK and +4.2% for US Flagships. This overall increase included the positive impact of indexation in Continental Europe (+2.8%), the contribution of positive leasing activity and higher revenue from retail media and parking income.

5 Like-for-like NRI: Net Rental Income excluding acquisitions, divestments, transfers to and from pipeline (extensions, brownfields or redevelopment of an asset when operations are stopped to enable works), all other changes resulting in any change to square metres and currency exchange rate differences in the periods analysed.

6 Group Lfl NRI including airports, excluding the impact of the Olympics.

7 Shopping Centres Lfl NRI excluding airports, US Regionals and CBD asset.

8 Excludes triennial shows and impact of the Olympics.

9 Excluding the impact of disposals, pipeline, DD&C, FX and the Olympics.

10 Excluding airports, US Regionals and CBD asset.

H1-2024 tenant sales11 were up +4.2% compared to H1-2023 and footfall12 up +2.9%.

In Europe, tenant sales were up +3.9% compared to H1-2023, above core inflation of 3.3% and national sales indices13 of 2.2%, demonstrating that URW centres continue gaining market share. H1-2024 saw a strong increase in the performance of well-being sectors, with Fitness up +29.0%, Health & Beauty up +12.2%, while Fashion and F&B continued to perform strongly, up +4.4% and +4.7% respectively.

In the US, Flagships tenant sales were up +5.1% in H1-2024, outperforming the US national sales index 13 of 2.3%. US Flagships growth was driven by the performance of experience-led sectors, including Entertainment (+15.2%), F&B (+7.4%), as well as Sport (+12.6%), Fashion (+8.3%) and Health & Beauty (+6.9%). Luxury was up +5.2% and Jewellery up +14.6%.

In terms of leasing activity during H1-2024, the Group signed 1,056 leases for €217 Mn of MGR14 (+1.4% compared to H1-2023 and +36.6% compared to H1-2019) with an MGR uplift of +7.4% on top of indexed passing rents (vs. +6.9% in FY-2023) reflecting the effectiveness of the Group's leasing strategy and the strong appeal for URW assets. The proportion of long-term deals signed reached 79% of MGR signed, in line with levels in H1-2023. The MGR uplift for leases longer than 36 months was +11.9% for the Group, on top of indexed passing rents, with Continental Europe at +5.4%, the UK at +18.5% and the US at +31.9%.

Thanks to the Group's dynamic and strong leasing activity, overall vacancy for Shopping Centres was at 5.5% at H1-2024, vs. 5.7% at Q1-2024 and 5.4% at FY-2023. The vacancy is 3.5% in Continental Europe, 6.4% in the UK and 8.6% in the US (including 7.4% for US Flagships).

On a like-for-like basis, Sales Based Rents (SBR) 15 decreased in total from €48.9 Mn in H1-2023 to €44.2 Mn in H1-2024. This decrease results from lower SBR in the US. In Europe, SBR were up +20.5% on a like-for-like basis on the back of strong tenant sales.

Rent collection16 amounted to 97% for H1-2024.

11 Tenant sales for all centres (except The Netherlands) in operation, including extensions of existing assets, but excluding deliveries of new brownfield projects and heavy refurbishment, newly acquired assets and assets under heavy refurbishment (Ursynów, Croydon, Les Ateliers Gaîté, Westfield CNIT, Garbera, Centrum Černý Most and Multiplex at Westfield Shopping City Süd) or works in the surrounding area (Fisketorvet), excluding Zlote Tarasy as this centre is not managed by URW, excluding Carrousel du Louvre and excluding Auto category for Europe and Auto and Department Stores for the US.

12 Footfall for all centres in operation, including extensions of existing assets, but excluding deliveries of new brownfield projects and heavy refurbishment, newly acquired assets and assets under heavy refurbishment (Ursynów, Croydon, Les Ateliers Gaîté, Westfield CNIT, Garbera and Centrum Černý Most) or works in the surrounding area (Fisketorvet), excluding Carrousel du Louvre and excluding Zlote Tarasy as this centre is not managed by URW, and excluding, in the US, the centres for which no comparable data of the previous year is available.

13 As at June 2024, for further details, please refer to the appendix to this Press Release.

14 All letting figures exclude deals <12 months. Usual 3/6/9 leases in France are included in the long-term leases.

15 Excluding airports.

16 Retail only, assets at 100%. MGR + CAM in the US.

Bankruptcies decreased to 123 stores in H1-2024 compared to 211 stores in H1-2023. 64% of bankrupted units saw their tenant still in place or were relet as at end of June, the remainder impacting vacancy.

Retail Media & other income

Revenue from Retail Media & other income17 increased to €60.9 Mn in H1-2024 from €55.6 Mn in H1- 2023, i.e. +9.4% and +16.3% on a like-for-like basis. This was driven by growth in Westfield Rise activity in Europe, up +24.7% 18 compared to H1-2023. Westfield Rise is on track to reach its 2024 target of €75 Mn19 in annual net margin (at 100%) in Europe, with 63% of 2024 budgeted gross income already secured.

Offices & Others

Office NRI increased by +20.4% at Group level (+23.3% on a like-for-like basis), driven by Trinity in La Défense, now fully let with the final lease signed in H1-2024, as well as the performance of the Pullman Paris-Montparnasse hotel.

Vacancy for the office standing assets in Continental Europe was 6.2% at the end of June 2024, down from 11.1% at the end of 2023.

In addition, 10,648 sqm were signed in relation to projects in H1-2024 including Mazars and Wayes in Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, increasing the pre-letting of the office part to 62% of GLA20 .

Convention & Exhibition

Convention & Exhibition recurring Net Operating Income (NOI) in H1-2024 amounted to €108.9 Mn compared to €71.1 Mn in H1-2023 (+53.2%) and €94.5 Mn in H1-2022 (+15.2%).

H1-2024 benefitted from biennial shows common in even-numbered years and the Intermat triennial show, as well as the early positive impact of the Olympics with a €14.9 Mn contribution to H1-2024 NOI.

Excluding the impact of indemnities, triennial shows and the Olympics, H1-2024 Viparis NOI was up +25.4% and +41.5% compared to H1-2023 and H1-2022 respectively.

As at June 30, 2024, signed and pre-booked events in Viparis venues for 2024 amounted to c. 97% of its expected 2024 rental income.

17 Group figure (Europe and US) on a proportionate basis. Retail Media & other income include both "Westfield Rise" in Europe and the Retail Media in the US, as well as kiosks, seasonal markets, pop-ups, and car park activations ("other income"). 18 In net margin at 100%.

19 As published at the 2022 Investor Day.

20 Excluding Tower C not launched.

GENERAL EXPENSES

Excluding FX impact and non-cash benefits, general expenses were down -3.0% in H1-2024 and will be further down in H2-2024 in line with the Group's cost disciplined approach.

These full year savings are expected to offset the estimated full year increase in financial expenses generated by the TIC increase of the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier project.

INVESTMENT AND DIVESTMENT

The real estate investment market remains challenging as a result of uncertainty around interest rate cuts, as well as geopolitical factors primarily linked to a number of major elections. Market transactions across all segments (core, core-plus and value-add) have therefore slowed.

Despite this, in year-to-date, URW successfully completed or secured €0.3 Bn of transactions21 , aligned with last unaffected book values.

This represents €0.5 Bn of net debt reduction21 when combined with previously secured deals not yet completed.

In addition, the Group remains actively engaged in discussions with potential buyers for €1.0 Bn in assets. The Group remains committed to further deleveraging through disposals in Europe, in line with its long-standing capital recycling policy, and the radical reduction of financial exposure in the US.

In July, URW acquired full ownership of Westfield Montgomery, an A-rated 105,000 sqm Flagship destination in Maryland, US, pursuant to an existing shareholder agreement.

DELIVERIES & PIPELINE

Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier Project Update

Following the postponement of the opening of Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier in April, URW announced on July 19 the updated estimate to Total Investment Cost for the project at €2.16 Bn, up from €1.64 Bn.

The Group has taken the following actions and mitigating measures:

  • Launch of comprehensive, independent investigation, undertaken by Accuracy (forensic specialists) and White & Case (legal counsel), and under the supervision of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board;
  • Reinforcement of contract management team;
  • Changes to the executive leadership of the project and its oversight.

21 Proportionate net debt reduction.

In order to mitigate the impact of the overrun on the Group's LTV, URW will re-prioritise and rephase some of its asset plans to reduce its Capex spending over the next 18 months in a way that protects long-term value creation of these assets. This is expected to offset around half of the overruns.

The Group is working towards a retail opening of Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier on October 17, 2024, followed by a phased opening of the hotels and office buildings.

Other Deliveries

In H1-2024, the Group delivered 3 projects with an average letting22 of 94%:

  • CNIT Eole, a 29,377 sqm redevelopment in Paris La Défense adding retail space and a new Convention & Exhibition centre;
  • Old Orchard Lord & Taylor unit, a 11,619 sqm restructuring of a former department store box;
  • Fisketorvet Dining Experience, a 5,894 sqm refurbishment of the dining area of the Fisketorvet Mall.

In addition, 125 apartments of Coppermaker Square, a residential project in Stratford (East London), were delivered in H1-2024, i.e. 1,032 delivered to date out of a total of 1,225 apartments. The remaining is expected to be delivered in H1-2025.

The Total Investment Cost23 of URW's development pipeline increased from €2.5 Bn in December 31, 2023 to €2.9 Bn as at June 30, 2024. This is mainly due to:

  • The TIC increase of the mixed-use project in Hamburg from €1.64 Bn to €2.16 Bn;
  • 2 additional US projects added to the pipeline: (i) UTC Luxury precinct in California (Committed), and (ii) Garden State Plaza mixed-use in New Jersey (Controlled).

Committed projects amount to €2.8 Bn, of which €2.0 Bn has already been invested. 81% will be delivered in H2-2024, including:

  • Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, including retail (now 93% pre-let22) expected to open on October 17, 2024 followed by the office buildings and hotels to be delivered in phases;
  • Lightwell project in Paris La Défense pre-let22 at 80%.

22 GLA signed, all agreed to be signed and financials agreed.

23 URW Total Investment Cost (TIC) equals 100% TIC multiplied by URW's percentage stake in the project, adjusted by specific own costs and income, if any. 100% TIC is expressed in value at completion. It equals the sum of: (i) all capital expenditures from the start of the project to the completion date and includes: land costs, construction costs, study costs, design costs, technical fees, tenant fitting-out costs paid for by the Group, letting fees and related costs, eviction costs and vacancy costs for renovations or redevelopments of standing assets; and (ii) opening marketing expenses. It excludes: (i) step rents and rentfree periods; (ii) capitalised financial interests; (iii) overhead costs; (iv) early or lost Net Rental Income; and (v) IFRS adjustments.

VALUATION

The proportionate Gross Market Value (GMV) of the Group's assets as at June 30, 2024, increased by +0.4% to €49.8 Bn from €49.6 Bn as at December 31, 2023, mainly as a result of Capex, Acquisitions and Transfers (+€794 Mn) and currency effect (+€359 Mn), offset by a revaluation of non like-for-like assets and revaluation of shares (-€622 Mn) and a like-for-like portfolio revaluation (-€291 Mn).

Like-for-like shopping centres valuations were down -0.5% for H1-2024 including a yield impact of -1.3% and a rent impact of +0.7%. Like-for-like shopping centres valuation was +0.7% in Continental Europe, +1.4% in the UK and -4.7% in the US.

The EPRA Net Reinstatement Value per share came to €142.5 as at June 30, 2024, a -2.9% decrease compared to €146.7 at December 31, 2023.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES

As at June 30, 2024, the Group's IFRS net financial debt increased to €20.4 Bn (from €20.0 Bn as at December 31, 2023) mainly due to Capex spent over the period and cash distribution payment.

The Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) improved to 4.6x (vs. 4.2x in 2023), as well as Funds from Operations to Net Financial Debt (FFO/NFD) ratio to 8.5% (vs. 7.8% in 2023).

The Group's Net Debt/EBITDA24 ratio remained stable at 9.3x, below its 2019 level (9.9x), supported by the solid operating performance partly offset by the net debt increase.

The Net Debt/EBITDA proforma for the completion of capital expenditures on projects to be delivered in H2-2024 and the annualised EBITDA of these projects is expected to remain stable.

URW's Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio25 increased to 42.5% (vs. 41.8% as at December 31, 2023) as a result of higher net debt (mainly due to distribution payment and Capex) partly compensated by +0.4% GMV increase. This includes an impact of +50 bps from the €0.5 Bn cost overruns associated to the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier project.

URW raised €2.1 Bn of fully consolidated medium to long-term funds26 over H1-2024 in the mortgage and bank markets. In July 2024, the Group raised an additional €0.6 Bn of undrawn credit facilities with an average maturity of 4.4 years while repaying €0.5 Bn of short-term loans with a remaining maturity of 2.6 years.

24 On an IFRS basis and on last 12 months basis.

25 Including the hybrids, the proforma LTV would be 46.3% (47.5% on a proportionate basis).

26 Including credit facility renewals.

In addition, the Group signed in July a 2-year extension of \$350 Mn existing CMBS on Westfield Montgomery (US) at a fixed rate of 3.766%. This non-recourse mortgage debt will be fully consolidated in URW's accounts following the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake from its JV partner in early July.

The Group's liquidity position stood at €12.7 Bn (€12.8 Bn on a proportionate basis) including €4.6 Bn of cash on hand27 following €646 Mn of debt repayments in the first half. This liquidity position allows the Group to cover its debt maturities for more than the next 36 months.

Its average debt maturity28 stood at 7.4 years.

The Group's average cost of debt slightly increased to 1.9% (vs. 1.8% as at December 31, 2023), due to a higher marginal cost of funding from debt raised in 2023, partly compensated by increasing remuneration on a higher average cash position in H1-2024 and hedges in place.

On May 28, 2024, S&P confirmed the "BBB+" long-term rating of the Group with "stable" outlook.

ESG

Following the comprehensive evolution of the Better Places roadmap announced in October 2023, the Group continued to progress towards its environmental performance, the transition to a more sustainable retail, and positive community impact.

In H1-2024, the Group launched the second edition of its annual Westfield Good Festival in all Westfield shopping centres in Europe and in the US. This festival enables retailers to promote their sustainability initiatives and for visitors to access information on sustainability and circularity. The Group also completed the installation of a photovoltaic plant in Westfield Mall of Scandinavia in Sweden with a capacity of 610 kWp, as part of the Group's plan to install 50 MWp of onsite renewable energy production capacity in Europe by 2030.

In January, URW released the first Impact Study for a European retail REIT, measuring the positive impact of its shopping centres at European, country and asset level.

URW's sustainability achievements continue to be externally recognised. In the first half of the year, URW has been ranked as one of the top 100 most sustainable companies in the world by Time Magazine and specialist data firm Statista, and was named among the top 10 French companies for gender equality, and 75th worldwide, by Equileap, a leading diversity research company.

27 €4.8 Bn on a proportionate basis.

28 On an IFRS basis, considering the undrawn credit lines (subject to covenants) and cash on hand.

2024 AREPS AND DISTRIBUTION GUIDANCE

The Group confirms its full year AREPS guidance to be in a range of €9.65 - €9.80, in view of H1-2024 positive operating performance.

H2 AREPS includes the impact of further disposals progress expected in the year as well as the delayed opening and increased Total Investment Cost on Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier.

The guidance the Group provided in February on shareholder distributions is unchanged.

FINANCIAL SCHEDULE

The next financial events on the Group's calendar will be: October 24, 2024: Q3 trading update (after market close)

1. BUSINESS REVIEW AND H1-2024 RESULTS

I. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

Accounting principles

Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield's ("URW" or "the Group") condensed consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2024, were prepared in accordance with IAS34 – standard of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union applicable to the interim financial information as at that date.

The Group also prepares financial statements in a proportionate format, in which the joint-controlled entities are accounted for on a proportionate basis, instead of being accounted for using the equity method under IFRS. The business review and results are presented based on the financial statements on a proportionate basis, with no impact on the net results.

Certain amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management in regards of complex geopolitical and macro-economic environment and difficulties in assessing their impacts and future prospects. In this context, management has taken into account these uncertainties on the basis of reliable information available at the date of the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, particularly with regards to the fair value of investment properties and financial instruments, the estimation of the provision for doubtful debtors, as well as the testing of goodwill and intangible assets.

Due to inherent uncertainties associated with estimates, the Group reviews those estimates based on regularly updated information. Actual results might eventually differ from estimates made at the date of the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

96% of URW's property portfolio and intangible assets related to the Shopping Centres, Offices & Others, Convention & Exhibition and Services segments were valued by independent appraisers as at June 30, 2024.

Scope of consolidation

The principal changes in the scope of consolidation since December 31, 2023, are:

  • The disposal of Equinoccio in January 2024; and
  • The acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in CH Ursynów in February 2024.

Operational reporting

URW operates in 12 countries grouped in 9 regions: France, the United States of America ("US"), Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia ("Central Europe"), the United Kingdom ("UK"), Sweden, Denmark ("Nordics"), Spain, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands. These countries were operationally grouped in 5 main regions, i.e. Southern Europe (France, Spain, Italy), Northern Europe (Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands), Central and Eastern Europe (Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia), UK and US.

As Southern Europe (France) has substantial activities in all 3 business lines of the Group, this region is itself divided into 3 segments: Shopping Centres, Offices & Others and Convention & Exhibition ("C&E") 3 . The other regions operate almost exclusively in the Shopping Centres segment. In the US, the Group also operates an airport terminals commercial management business.

3 C&E includes the Les Boutiques du Palais retail asset.

II. OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Sales and footfall data in the US relate to Flagship assets, which form the core of URW's activities in the region. US Regional assets, representing c. 1% of the Group's GMV, are being streamlined.

Footfall4 and tenant sales5

European footfall

In Europe, H1-2024 footfall was up +2.5% compared to H1-2023, including +2.5% in Continental Europe and +1.9% in the UK.

US footfall

In the US, H1-2024 footfall6 increased by +5.1% compared to H1-2023.

H1-2024 sales showed strong performance, outperforming footfall evolution. In H1-2024, tenant sales were up +3.9% in Europe, with Continental Europe at +4.1% and the UK at +3.0%.

In Europe, URW tenant sales growth was well above average core inflation of 3.3% in H1-2024 and national sales indices of +2.2%7 over the period, demonstrating that URW centres continue to gain market share.

H1-2024 saw a strong increase in well-being sectors, with Fitness +29.0% and Health & Beauty +12.2%, while Fashion and F&B continued to perform strongly at +4.4% and +4.7% respectively.

US tenant sales

In the US, H1-2024 tenant sales8 increased by +5.1%, compared to an average core inflation of 3.6% and national sales index of +2.3%7 over the period.

This performance was driven by the experiential sectors with +15.2% for Entertainment and +7.4% for F&B, as well as Sport (+12.6%), Fashion (+8.3%) and Health & Beauty (+6.9%). Luxury was up +5.2% and Jewellery up +14.6%.

III. BUSINESS REVIEW BY SEGMENT

The Business review by segment presented below has been prepared based on the Group's European perimeter. Section 4 contains the US Business Review. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in Sections 1 to 3 are to URW's European operations and relate to the 6-month period ended June 30, 2024.

1. Europe – Shopping Centres

1.1. Activity

Leasing activity12

In H1-2024, URW signed 761 leases (vs. 74613) on standing assets for €155.4 Mn of MGR (vs. €123.1 Mn13). These 761 leases include 572 leases (75% of leasing activity) with a maturity above 3 years14 (vs. 55313 and 74%13). H1-2024 MGR signed on leases above 3 years amounted to €131.2 Mn, i.e. 84% of MGR signed (vs. €102.9 Mn13 and 84%13). The stabilised high proportion of long-term leases reflects the effectiveness of URW's proactive leasing strategy, the strong appeal for URW assets and the return to a normalised situation.

The MGR uplift on renewals and relettings was +2.6% on top of indexed passing rents (+2.8%13 in 2023) in Continental Europe, driven by a strong reversion in Central Europe and Spain, partially offset by a decrease in Austria and The Netherlands. It was +5.2% before rents indexation. The MGR uplift on renewals and relettings was +18.2% in the UK and +4.9% for Europe as a whole on top of indexed passing rents.

Deals longer than 36 months had an MGR uplift of +5.4% on top of indexed passing rents (+4.5%13 in 2023) for Continental Europe and +7.9% before rents indexation. MGR uplift on deals longer than 36 months was +18.5% for the UK and +7.4% for Europe as a whole on top of indexed passing rents.

The average rent per sqm on deals signed in Europe increased from €532/sqm/year in 2023 to €557/sqm/year in H1-2024 (i.e. +4.8%), showing the focus on higher value leases.

(a) Excluding Croydon to be redeveloped and restructured.

Leading retailers show confidence in the value of URW's shopping centres, recognising the crucial role of their physical stores at URW's destination assets within their business model. The trend remains towards prime stores which offer comprehensive services, such as click & collect and self-check-out, as they enhance customers shopping experience while improving retailers' financial performance through their "drive-to-store" and omnichannel strategies.

12 Leasing activity includes only deals with maturity >= 12 months, consistent with prior periods. Excluding Croydon to be redeveloped and restructured.

13 Restated for disposed assets.

14 Usual 3 / 6 / 9 leases in France are included in the long-term leases.

Specifically, the average fashion store size in URW's assets has increased by +12% from H1-2019 to H1-2024, with 73%15 now offering click & collect services. Notable upsizings in H1-2024 included Primark in Westfield Stratford City, H&M and Lacoste in Westfield La Part-Dieu, Celio in Westfield Euralille and Pull&Bear in Westfield Donau Zentrum.

URW also signed leases with retailers entering new markets, such as Stradivarius in Westfield Donau Zentrum, Tag Heuer in Westfield Mokotów and Made by Society in Westfield Mokotów.

In H1-2024, the Group continued to sign leases with Digitally Native Vertical Brands, including Glowstation in Westfield Mall of Scandinavia, Nobody's Child in Westfield Stratford City, S'portofino in Westfield Chodov and Emma Sleep in Westfield Glòries, demonstrating the importance of physical presence within retailers' growth strategy.

The rotation rate was 5.3%, in line with URW's objective to rotate at least 10% of tenants or concepts annually.

The Group saw several key store openings in H1-2024 in growing sectors, including:

  • Sport with JD Sports opening its largest store worldwide with 4,200 sqm in Westfield Stratford City and Nike refurbishing its 1,300 sqm store at Westfield Forum des Halles to feature its new concept;
  • Health & Beauty with the opening of Dior Beauty in Westfield Chodov and Aroma-Zone in both Westfield Euralille and Westfield CNIT;
  • Entertainment with the opening of Gravity MAX, London's biggest urban theme park, in Westfield Stratford City, La Tête dans Les Nuages, a leading French leisure concept, in Westfield Les 4 Temps and Flip Out in Westfield Täby Centrum.

As part of its strategy to create mixed-use destinations, the Group secured planning permission to transform the former House of Fraser department store building in Westfield London into "The Village Offices", a new three level 115,000 sq. ft. highquality and sustainable office space that could accommodate up to 2,000 workers. Active discussions are underway with major office tenants and co-working operators attracted by the quality, amenities and connectivity of the space. Westfield London is fast becoming a destination for major brands to base their headquarters, including Net-a-Porter, Venture X and Vue who are already occupying existing office space at the centre.

Retail Media & other income - Europe

Retail Media and other income includes Westfield Rise, the Retail Media and Brand Partnerships division ("Retail Media"), as well as kiosks, seasonal markets, pop-ups and car park activations ("other income").

Total Retail Media & other income activity in Europe amounted to €37.4 Mn on a proportionate basis (€40.0 Mn in net margin at 100%), up +26.3% compared to H1-2023. The €40.0 Mn in net margin includes the contribution from Retail Media (€24.4 Mn) and other income (€15.5 Mn).

Retail Media - Westfield Rise

"Westfield Rise", URW's own in-house retail media agency since 2022, generates growing revenues from Media Advertising and Brand Experience campaigns, supported by data analytics. Westfield Rise gross income16 in Europe was up by +26.1% compared to H1-2023, outperforming the OOH17 Media market, which is projected to grow by +5%18 in 2024. Westfield Rise net margin was up +24.7%.

During H1-2024, Westfield Rise continued strengthening its large-format screens with the launch of 2 new immersive screens: in Westfield Mokotów and the new "Digital Dream" in Westfield Les 4 Temps.

Westfield Rise also agreed on new long-term Media partnerships with Ocean Outdoor in Germany and Goldbach in Austria on significantly improved terms compared to the previous agreement. This partnership will benefit from the deployment of new large-format screens in both countries.

The upcoming Olympic Games boosted the Technology and Sport categories, in particular with the exterior media domination campaign of Samsung at Westfield Les 4 Temps and the Nike activation at Westfield Forum des Halles, the Adidas activations in Westfield Centro and Höfe am Brühl for the Euro football competition and the JD Sports activation in Westfield Parquesur.

Key brands (including Samsung, Coca-Cola, Disney, Toyota, General Motors and L'Oréal) along with retailers from URW malls place an even stronger confidence in the Westfield Rise agency.

The average revenue per visit19, a key performance indicator, increased by +20.6% compared to H1-2023, driven by an increase in revenue above the footfall increase.

Westfield Rise is on track to reach its 2024 target of a net margin at 100% of €75 Mn, with 63% of budgeted gross income already secured (31% above last year).

Other income

Other income performance, which mainly includes pop-up stores, was up in H1-2024, with a net margin reaching €15.5 Mn, +7.7% compared to H1-2023.

Marketing & Communication

Westfield is the flagship brand of Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which owns, develops, and operates sustainable malls aligned with its purpose to create sustainable places that Reinvent Being Together.

In H1-2024, the Group launched several campaigns to promote the Westfield brand at both global and regional levels, highlighting its motto "More Extra, Less Ordinary".

At the global scale, 38 Westfield-branded shopping centres in Europe and the US hosted, in April and May, the second edition of the Westfield Good Festival. A new, dynamic and engaging communication campaign supported the roll out of this event in all European countries and in the United States. The campaign was displayed through all touchpoints, including out-ofhome (OOH), digital out-of-home (DOOH), video online (VOL), digital, social media and CRM.

Westfield Good Festival has also been an opportunity for the Group to further display the sustainable evolution in the retail sector, offering brands a platform to showcase their efforts towards the environmental transition while inspiring customers to embrace sustainable practices. This event offered visitors a mix of sustainability-themed experiences and activities including workshops, second-hand markets, influencer talks and pop-up stores, delivered in partnership with more than 120 brands, NGOs and local organisations. The Festival also showcased the winner of the People's Choice Award at the 2023 Westfield Grand Prix (in France, the UK, Spain, Germany and Austria).

In France, Westfield is deploying a partnership with the Olympic Committee. This is the opportunity to share the energy of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games at the heart of Westfield lively places. Ahead of time, the Group has been redecorating centres with the Olympic Games visual identity, an initiative that was praised in the Olympic Games activity report in 2023. Given its 170 Mn annual footfall in France, URW has been raising awareness among the French by organising vibrant and inclusive events to promote sport. This mission started two months ago with "The Place to Play" tour, across 8 French Westfield shopping centres over 30 dates. This tour has already attracted 30,000 people and was cited as one of the 10 most outstanding marketing operations for the Olympics by the media "e-marketing.fr".

Overall, these events enabled the Group to continue building brand awareness while driving footfall into its malls.

URW also continued to build its digital presence. Following the mobile app revamping for all URW shopping centres in Europe and the US in November 2023, the Group has been continuously enhancing the digital experience, counting 500,000 new users in H1-2024. These improvements have made customer interactions with the brand and shopping centres more personalised, engaging, and convenient. As at June 30, 2024, the Group's customer database had grown to 15.7 million contacts, including 12.0 million loyalty members or account holders. On social media, the Group's shopping centre accounts across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, in both Europe and the US, reached a total of 10 million followers as at June 30, 2024.

1.2. Net Rental Income

Total consolidated Net Rental Income ("NRI") was €744.3 Mn for Continental Europe (+4.0%) and €816.6 Mn for Europe (+4.3%), as a result of positive like-for-like evolution.

In H1-2024, the NRI was positively impacted by indexation, leasing activity, higher variable income and FX impact, partly offset by disposals.

  • +€7.5 Mn due to assets in pipeline or delivered, primarily in France, Spain, Austria, Germany and Denmark;
  • +€1.3 Mn due to positive effect in GBP, partly offset by negative effect in SEK;
  • -€2.8 Mn due to exceptional and other items;
  • -€13.0 Mn due to disposals of assets in France with the disposal of Polygone Riviera in October 2023 and Spain with the disposal of Equinoccio in January 2024;

Like-for-like NRI increased by +5.5% (+12.3% in H1-2023) in Europe (including +5.3% in Continental Europe), and includes:

  • +2.6% of indexation (+6.1% in H1-2023), driven by a +2.8% indexation effect in Continental Europe;
  • +0.8% of "Renewals and relettings net of departures" (+1.1% in H1-2023), as a result of the decrease in vacancy in particular in the UK, Central Europe and Spain, uplift on relettings/renewals and SBR crystallisation mainly in The Netherlands;
  • +0.8% due to higher Sales Based Rents (+1.4% in H1-2023) as a result of strong tenants' sales performances;
  • +0.8% due to the provisions for doubtful debtors (-1.1% in H1-2023), mainly due to better rent collection and lower bankruptcies and reversal of provisions in Germany;
  • +0.6% in "Other" (+4.8% in H1-2023), mainly due to higher variable revenues (in particular Retail Media, Parking income), lower service charges in the UK and Austria, partly offset by settlement of discounts and lease terminations which impacted positively H1-2023 in France.

The improvement in vacancy rate or positive MGR uplifts do not simultaneously translate into incremental like-for-like Net Rental Income due to, in particular, the time lag between the signing date and the effective date of the lease and the potential delay between the lease end of a departing tenant and the effective date of the lease with a new tenant.

Sales Based Rents in Europe amounted to €38.4 Mn in H1-2024 (4.7% of NRI), including €32.6 Mn in Continental Europe (4.4% of NRI) and €5.8 Mn in the UK (8.0% of NRI). This corresponded to a growth of +16.2% compared to H1-2023 and +20.5% on a like-for-like basis on the back of strong sales performances of URW retailers.

1.3. Vacancy and Occupancy Cost Ratio ("OCR")

The Estimated Rental Value ("ERV") of vacant space in operation in the portfolio was €76.9 Mn in Europe (€71.2 Mn as at December 31, 2023) and €58.7 Mn in Continental Europe (€51.7 Mn as at December 31, 2023). Overall, the EPRA vacancy rate21 was 4.0%, compared to 4.2% as at March 31, 2024, and 3.8% as at December 31, 2023.

The EPRA vacancy rate in Continental Europe was 3.5% from 3.6% as at March 31, 2024, and 3.2% as at December 31, 2023, mainly due to bankruptcies.

Vacancy in the UK22 decreased from 6.9% to 6.4% as a result of a strong leasing activity. Vacancy rate in Westfield London stood at 9.6%, steadily absorbing the impact of the 2018 extension (c. 80,000 sqm) while Westfield Stratford City vacancy continued to trend downwards below 3%.

The H1-2024 OCR23 was at 15.4% for Continental Europe, slightly above 15.3% in 2023 and below its 2019 level of 15.5% as a result of strong retailers' sales performance, partially offset by rents indexation and rental uplifts. In the UK24, the OCR was down at 16.8% vs. 19.9% in 2019, thanks to tenants' sales performance and a decrease in business rates and service charges.

The OCR does not fully reflect the increasing role and value of stores for retailers through increased volume of activity and higher EBIT margin generated in store from halo effect, collection (click & collect) or return of products in store supported by retailers.

2. Europe - Offices & Others

2.1. Office property market as at June 30, 202425

Take-up

With 853,300 sqm of office space rented in H1-2024, take-up in the overall Paris region saw an increase of +5% compared to H1-2023 (816,000 sqm) and a -18% decrease compared to 10-year average levels.

Paris represented 54% of the 2024 take-up to date in volume, and the La Défense and Western Crescent sectors together represented 22%, as occupiers select key business districts as strategic locations.

The number of large transactions (˃ 5,000 sqm), 24 deals in H1-2024, was in line with last year level.

Available area & vacancy rate

The immediate supply in the Paris region increased by +10% year-on-year to reach 5.0 Mn sqm. As at June 30, 2024, the level of new or refurbished supply reached 1.5 Mn sqm and accounted for 30% of the total immediate supply (29% end of 2023).

The Paris region vacancy rate increased from 8.6% at the end of 2023 to 9.0% at the end of June 2024, with significant discrepancies between areas (Paris CBD at 2.7%, La Défense at 15.2% and Peri-Défense at 22.6%).

Rental values

In this two-tier market, the evolution of rents varied significantly, depending on centrality, access to public transportation, amenities and ESG-rate of the assets. Rents kept increasing inside Paris but were under pressure in more challenging areas where the increase of immediate and future supply and a lower demand put pressure on rental values for non-prime assets and second-hand buildings.

In H1-2024, the highest rent in Paris CBD was at €1,100/sqm/year and €530/sqm/year in La Défense (for the last available floor in Trinity).

Rent incentives remained stable in Paris CBD compared to FY-2023 (17%) but increased to 37% in La Défense and were overall 22% in the Paris region.

Investment market

The total volume of office transactions in the Paris region for H1-2024 reached €1.0 Bn, down by -64% compared to H1- 2023.

Large transactions volume was limited with 3 transactions above €100 Mn for c. 44% of the total volume. The demand was still largely fueled by domestic players which accounted for 68% of total investments.

Paris remained the main target and represented around 76% of the transactions (47% in H1-2023).

No transaction above €250 Mn occurred. The largest single-asset transactions were:

  • Grand Opéra Halévy Meyerbeer in Paris CBD (c. €215 Mn);
  • 40 George V in Paris CBD (c. €126 Mn);
  • Opéra Gramont in Paris CBD (c. €109 Mn); and
  • Boulogne In-Situ in the Southern Rim (c. €99 Mn).

3. Convention & Exhibition

In H1-2024, C&E benefitted from the business recovery, the seasonality effect with a number of biennial shows taking place this year as well as the Intermat triennial show. The Paris Olympics and Paralympics (the "Olympics") will also support the activity in 2024 as various events and broadcasted facilities are and will be hosted in several Viparis' venues.

86 exhibitions and 39 congresses were held in Viparis' venues through June 30, compared to 91 exhibitions and 41 congresses in H1-2023 and 86 exhibitions and 33 congresses held in H1-2022.

In the Congress segment, Palais des Congrès de Paris welcomed the 25th IMCAS Annual World Congress, the largest scientific aesthetics congress worldwide with more than 18,000 attendees, and more than 350 exhibitors. In addition, Palais des Congrès de Paris hosted Euro PCR, the world-leading course in interventional cardiovascular medicine with more than 12,000 attendees. Paris Porte de Versailles welcomed EAU Congress, Europe's biggest urological events with more than 10,000 attendees.

The first semester activity was characterised by the following major events held:

Annual shows:

  • 60th edition of International Agricultural Show (603,000 visitors);
  • La Foire de Paris (400,000 visitors);
  • Maison&Objet (2,500 exhibitors).

Biennial shows:

▪ Eurosatory (2,000 exhibitors).

Triennial shows:

▪ Intermat (127,000 visitors and 1,000 exhibitors).

Viparis' recurring Net Operating Income ("NOI") amounted to €108.9 Mn, compared to €71.1 Mn in H1-2023, and €94.5 Mn in H1-2022, which was positively impacted by €25 Mn indemnities from the French State. H1-2024 NOI included a €14.9 Mn contribution from the Olympics. Excluding the impact of indemnities, triennial shows and the Olympics, H1-2024 Viparis NOI was up +25.4% compared to H1-2023 and +41.5% compared to H1-2022.

As at June 30, 2024, signed and pre-booked events in Viparis' venues for 2024 amounted to c. 97% of its expected 2024 rental income.

4. US Business Review

Leasing activity27

As the US portfolio continues to strengthen, vacancy reduces and more leasing tension exists in its assets, there is a lower quantum of deals to be done, meaning the focus is on improving the quality of the deals and merchandising.

In this context, 295 leases were signed in H1-2024 on standing assets (down -24%), representing 891,307 sq. ft. and \$67.2 Mn of MGR. 189 long-term deals were signed, representing 64% of H1-2024 deals (65% in H1-2023). The average rents per sq. ft. of leases signed in H1-2024 increased by +6.7% compared to 2023 and by +12.0% for the long-term deals, illustrating the Group's focus on quality deals.

The overall uplift on relettings and renewals was +14.7% for the US Shopping Centres (+24.1%) and +18.5% for Flagships28 . Deals longer than 36 months had an MGR uplift of +31.9%, including +39.3% for the US Flagships. The strong uplift signed on long-term deals allowed the Group to increase the revenues secured through MGR and reduce the portion of SBR attached to the short-term leases previously in place.

In total, the Shopping Centres SBR decreased from \$24.3 Mn in H1-2023 (8.7% of NRI) to \$8.5 Mn in H1-2024 (3.5% of NRI) despite a +4.9% increase in Flagships tenant sales. This results from crystallisation of SBR into MGR, 2022 SBR settlement impacting positively 2023 and sales performance in certain sectors.

The tenant mix continued to evolve in line with market trends with the opening of exciting retailers such as Planet Playskool and Pinstripes at Westfield Garden State Plaza, the brand new expanded 40,000 sq. ft. Zara at Westfield Old Orchard, Armour Vert at Westfield UTC, Aritzia at Westfield Galleria at Roseville and Mango at Westfield Montgomery.

The Luxury sector has also seen strong progress with a number of important openings such as Cartier and Bottega Veneta at Westfield Topanga and Saint Laurent Paris at Westfield Galleria at Roseville.

Retail Media & other income

Retail Media & other income revenue in H1-2024 increased by +1.2% on a like-for-like basis and amounted to \$25.4 Mn, a decrease of -\$2.7 Mn (-9.7%) compared to H1-2023, as a result of disposals.

Media & Experiential continues to perform strongly and has succeeded in creating new opportunities for clients to showcase their brands on URW media network and activation spaces. In H1-2024, Media & Experiential partnered with AMC on a pilot immersive experience for a movie release that was custom and exclusive to Westfield Century City. Media & Experiential also partnered with Chanel to bring an immersive experiential moment alongside an impactful digital advertising experience to URW centres.

URW also launched creative campaigns and activations with Expedia, American Express, ELF Cosmetics, Afeela, BMW, Lexus, Hawaiian Airlines, Dior, Cartier and NBC's Love Island.

Airports

Airport activity showed continuous improvement throughout the first half of the year with enplanements in H1-2024 being +7% higher than the same period in the prior year and +3% above the same period in 2019. International traffic strongly recovered at +11% compared to last year and Domestic traffic grew by +4%. Compared to the same period in 2019, International traffic was +4% and Domestic traffic was +2%.

Retail sales in URW-operated airport terminals for H1-2024 surpassed 2023 levels by +10% and pre-pandemic 2019 levels by +12%.

The construction within the JFK Terminal 8 has started and will be phased with substantial completion by Q2-2025. The project is already 80% pre-let.

URW has also launched the competitive bid process for the Duty Free, Food Hall and Travel Essentials spaces for the JFK New Terminal 1, targeted to open in June 2026.

27 H1-2023 leasing activity restated for disposals.

28 Excluding CBD centre.

Net Rental Income and Vacancy

Total NRI amounted to \$269.4 Mn, a -\$31.2 Mn change (-10.4%) compared to H1-2023, split between29:

  • -\$36.4 Mn related to shopping centres impacted by disposals partly offset by an increase in Flagships NRI;
  • +\$6.4 Mn related to airports;
  • -\$1.2 Mn related to offices.

US shopping centre NRI has been impacted by 2023 disposals and foreclosure for -\$30.1 Mn (Westfield North County, Westfield Brandon, Westfield Mission Valley, Westfield Valencia Town Center and San Francisco Centre).

US like-for-like shopping centre NRI30 increased by +\$8.0 Mn i.e. +4.2% mainly driven by net leasing revenue31 of +7.4%, increase in parking and commercial partnerships income and recovered property taxes32 , partly offset by lower SBR with MGR crystallisation and higher insurance premium.

Westfield World Trade Center saw a significant NRI decrease due to higher vacancy and rent reduction.

Airports NRI benefitted from the continued growth of airline traffic in H1-2024 and retailers' sales which are now exceeding 2019 levels.

Converted into euros, the -\$31.2 Mn (-10.4%) NRI decrease in the US represented -€29.3 Mn (-10.5%) with an average euro/USD FX overall stable between H1-2024 and H1-2023.

As at June 30, 2024, the EPRA vacancy was 8.6% (\$91.8 Mn), up by +10 bps from December 31, 2023. The vacancy increased by +10 bps to 7.4% in the Flagships but was down by -20 bps compared to Q1-2024. Vacancy decreased by -40 bps to 9.7% in the Regionals, while the vacancy of Westfield World Trade Center increased by +210 bps to 23.5%.

Occupancy on a GLA33 basis was 93.0% as at June 30, 2024.

The OCR34 on a rolling 12-month basis was stable at 11.9% compared to December 31, 2023, reflecting a combination of rental uplifts and strong sales performance. OCR for Flagships stood at 12.8% as at June 30, 2024 (12.9% as at December 31, 2023).

29 Figures may not add up due to rounding.

IV. SUSTAINABILITY

Following the comprehensive evolution of the Better Places roadmap announced in October 2023, the Group continued to progress towards its environmental performance objectives including its ambitious SBTi-approved net-zero targets, as well as the transition to a more sustainable retail, and community impact.

Environmental Transition

  • o As part of its plan to install 50 MWp of onsite renewable energy production capacity in Europe by 2030, the installation of a photovoltaic plant at Westfield Mall of Scandinavia in Sweden was completed during H1-2024 with a capacity of 610 kWp;
  • o URW acts as a catalyst for accelerating low-carbon mobility, with more than 1,200 EV chargers installed in Europe;
  • o H1-2024 saw the inauguration of 2 new metro / train stations serving URW assets in the Paris region: Westfield CNIT and Westfield Rosny 2;
  • o As part of URW approach to reduce the environmental footprint of its development projects, the CNIT extension project (delivered in H1-2024) is expected to avoid more than 4,300 tCO2e over its lifecycle compared to a traditional project35 .

Sustainable Experience

  • o Better Places Certification: URW is on track to deliver on its commitment to certify 100% of its European retail portfolio by 2027, starting with 10 assets as planned by the end of the year;
  • o Following the communication of the first results on the Sustainable Retail Index (SRI) covering 2,500 stores and 800 brands rated during the roll-out in the Fashion sector36, URW in cooperation with Good On You is rolling out the methodology on the Health & Beauty retail sector;
  • o In 2024, URW launched the second edition of its annual Westfield Good Festival in all Westfield shopping centres in Europe and in the US, with more than 100 partner brands in Europe. The NGO WWF also joined in Austria, France, Poland and Sweden.

Thriving Communities

  • o The Group also released the first Impact Study for a European retail REIT on January 15, 2024. This study measures the positive footprint URW's shopping centres have at a European, country and asset level based on 4 pillars: economic, environmental, social and the common good. This structure is being leveraged by the Palladio Foundation setting the ground for the measure of the rest of the industry;
  • o Over the first 6 months of 2024, URW already organised over 30 events across retail assets dedicated to provide employment and training opportunities through its URW for Jobs & Skills programme;
  • o In spring 2024, the Group organised its annual Community Days activities in all regions. More than 1,200 URW employees volunteered, participating in activities focused on improving environmental ecosystems to further enabling local employment, supporting vulnerable populations, and providing access to educational and cultural activities.

The Group's ambitious sustainability agenda and performance were broadly recognised by equity and debt investors as a value creation driver for its stakeholders. Since the beginning of 2024, the Group's sustainability achievements are reflected in the following ratings and awards:

  • Corporate Knights: URW is included in the 2024 Global 100 ranking as one of the 100 most sustainable corporations in the world;
  • URW is part of the Europe's Climate Leaders 2024 (Financial Times)37 , and has been named by Time Magazine in the 100 World's Most Sustainable Companies 2024 list;
  • Equileap: URW is included in the global Top 100 most gender-balanced companies and top 10 in France38 in 2024.

V. H1-2024 RESULTS

The results of the Group presented below are based on the Consolidated income statement in a proportionate format, in which the joint-controlled entities are accounted for on a proportionate basis instead of being accounted for using the equity method under IFRS. The Group has structured its internal operational and financial reporting according to this proportionate format.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references below relate to the 6-month period ended June 30, 2024, and the comparisons relate to the same period in 2023.

Gross Rental Income

The Gross Rental Income ("GRI") amounted to €1,470.8 Mn (€1,452.9 Mn), an increase of +1.2%. This increase resulted mainly from a positive leasing contribution, the impact of indexation, higher commercial partnerships and parking income and a positive FX impact, as well as the early impact of the Olympics, partly offset by the 2023 disposals and lower SBR in the US.

Net Rental Income

Total NRI amounted to €1,189.7 Mn (€1,152.1 Mn), an increase of +3.3%. This higher increase compared to the GRI is mainly due to savings in service charges, mainly CAM in the US and lower doubtful debtors.

Figures may not add up due to rounding.

Net property development and project management income was +€13.0 Mn (+€17.7 Mn), as a result of the phasing of projects of URW's Design, Development & Construction (DD&C) activity in the UK and the US.

Net property services and other activities income from Property Management services in France, the US, the UK, Spain and Germany was +€47.7 Mn (+€38.2 Mn), including +€34.0 Mn of on-site property services in Viparis (+€18.8 Mn) and +€13.6 Mn of Property Management services related to shopping centres (+€19.4 Mn). The increase of +€9.5 Mn is mainly due to the early impact from the Olympics on the on-site property services in Viparis, partly offset by a decrease on Property Management services in Germany and in the US as a result of disposals.

Contribution of companies accounted for using the equity method40 amounted to +€48.3 Mn (+€34.7 Mn), of which +€4.8 Mn related to the non-recurring activities, mainly due to positive valuation movements (mainly in Poland) and the impact of the mark-to-market of derivatives on the financing of JVs. The recurring Contribution of companies accounted for using the equity method was +€43.5 Mn (+€44.1 Mn), a slight decrease due to less interests received on cash placement in Central Europe.

40 Contribution of companies accounted for using the equity method represents URW's share of the Net recurring result for the period of entities accounted for using the equity method which are not joint-controlled (and therefore not retreated on a proportionate basis) and interest received on loans granted to these entities. This corresponds to 5 shopping centres, Triangle and Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild in France, Zlote Tarasy in Central Europe and Gropius Passagen in Germany.

General expenses41 amounted to -€95.5 Mn, an increase compared to H1-2023 (-€93.3 Mn) due to a negative FX impact and an increase of non-cash benefits, partly offset by general and administrative costs savings including staff reduction. Excluding FX impact and non-cash benefits, general expenses were down -3.0%. As a percentage of NRI from shopping centres and offices, general expenses stood at 8.6% and 7.3% excluding non-cash benefits (7.6% in H1-2023).

The Group will keep optimising its expenses in line with its cost disciplined approach, with a number of initiatives launched in H1-2024 and as it pursues its deleveraging effort.

These full year savings are expected to offset the estimated full year increase in financial expenses generated by the Total Investment Cost increase of the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier project.

Development expenses stood at -€3.1 Mn in H1-2024 (-€1.7 Mn).

EBITDA (corresponding to the recurring Net Operating result before depreciation and impairment of assets in the Net result by segment) increased from €1,157.1 Mn in H1-2023 to €1,195.4 Mn in H1-2024 (i.e. +3.3%) due to higher NRI in Europe, partly offset by the disposals in the US. For Europe, EBITDA increased from €901.5 Mn to €967.0 Mn (+7.3%).

Excluding the impact of FX, disposals, pipeline, DD&C and the Olympics on a like-for-like basis, EBITDA increased by +5.8% in H1-2024 vs. H1-2023 and by +4.9% vs. H1-2019.

Acquisition and other costs amounted to a non-recurring amount of -€4.7 Mn (-€2.5 Mn).

Depreciation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets amounted to -€2.5 Mn (-€16.3 Mn), including -€19.1 Mn (-€22.5 Mn) for the recurring activities and +€16.6 Mn (+€6.3 Mn) for the non-recurring activities related to reversal of impairment on property services in the US and the UK.

Results on disposal of investment properties were -€4.7 Mn (-€31.5 Mn), reflecting mainly the impact of the disposals of Equinoccio and adjustments of disposals from previous years in other regions.

Valuation movements on assets42 amounted to -€940.4 Mn (-€1,340.5 Mn).

Main decreases came from Germany (-€609.3 Mn) and the US shopping centres (-€438.5 Mn).

For more information, please refer to the section "Property portfolio and Net Asset Value".

Impairment of goodwill amounted to -€34.1 Mn (-€122.0 Mn), mainly related to the goodwill justified by the fee business in Germany.

Financing result

Net financing costs (recurring) totalled -€249.3 Mn (after deduction of capitalised financial expenses of €36.2 Mn (€33.7 Mn) allocated to projects under construction) (-€248.2 Mn). This increase of €1.1 Mn is due to slightly higher cost of debt on a lower average net debt amount.

URW's average cost of debt for the period was 1.9% (1.8% in H1-2023). URW's financing policy is described in the section "Financial resources".

Non-recurring financial result amounted to +€161.7 Mn (+€65.0 Mn), mainly due to the mark-to-market of derivatives and revaluation of debt issued in foreign currencies.

Income tax expenses are due to the Group's activities in countries where specific tax regimes for property companies43 do not exist or are not used by the Group.

Total income tax expenses for H1-2024 amounted to -€16.8 Mn (-€41.6 Mn). Income tax allocated to the recurring net result amounted to -€46.3 Mn (-€27.9 Mn), mainly due to H1 operating performance, in particular in the C&E activity. Nonrecurring income tax amounted to +€29.5 Mn (-€13.8 Mn), mainly due to the reversal of tax provisions.

41 Administrative expenses, excluding development expenses and depreciation and amortisation presented separately. Corporate expenses in P&L correspond to General expenses and Development expenses.

42 Excluding +€16.6 Mn of reversal on property services accounted in the Depreciation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets.

43 For example, in France: SIIC (Société d'Investissements Immobiliers Cotée); and in the US: REITs.

External non-controlling interests amounted to -€38.5 Mn (+€49.9 Mn) comprising recurring and non-recurring external non-controlling interests. The recurring external non-controlling interests amounted to -€118.0 Mn (-€103.9 Mn), mainly due to the C&E activity performance. The non-recurring non-controlling interests amounted to +€79.5 Mn (+€153.8 Mn), due primarily to negative valuation movements.

Net result for the period attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares was a profit of +€71.7 Mn (-€537.8 Mn). This figure breaks down as follows:

  • +€763.7 Mn of recurring net result (+€756.9 Mn);
  • -€691.9 Mn of non-recurring net result44 (-€1,294.6 Mn) mainly due to negative valuation movements.

The Adjusted Recurring Earnings45 taking into account the coupon of hybrid for -€49.1 Mn (-€23.9 Mn) reflect a profit of €714.6 Mn (€733.0 Mn). The hybrid coupon increased in H2-2023 following the Exchange Offer on the Perp-NC23 hybrid completed in July 2023 and the reset of the remaining Perp-NC23 coupon in October 2023.

The average number of shares outstanding was 139,126,507 (138,889,152). The increase is mainly due to the issuance of performance shares in 2023 and H1-2024. The number of shares outstanding as at June 30, 2024, was 139,364,104.

EPRA Recurring Earnings per Share (REPS) came to €5.49 (€5.45), an increase of +0.7%.

Adjusted Recurring Earnings per Share (AREPS)45 came to €5.14 (€5.28), a decrease of -2.7%.

The main drivers for recurring earnings evolution were the strong operational performance in retail, offices, and C&E which benefitted from the seasonality effect and the early impact of the Olympics, partly offset by 2023 disposals.

VI. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW

The consolidated statement of cash flow was prepared only in IFRS, not on a proportionate basis.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references below relate to the period ended June 30, 2024, and the comparisons relate to the same period in 2023.

Cash flow from operating activities

The total cash flow from operating activities slightly decreased to +€918.4 Mn (+€923.0 Mn) reflecting an improvement in EBITDA and in working capital requirement (-€147.9 Mn in H1-2024 vs. -€160.5 Mn in H1-2023) and a decrease of "dividend income" and "result from companies accounted for using the equity method or non-consolidated" (+€118.2 Mn in H1-2024 vs. +€198.7 Mn in H1-2023, which benefitted from the impact of Westfield North County disposal).

Cash flow from investment activities

The total cash flow from investment activities was -€693.7 Mn (-€232.5 Mn) reflecting a decrease in Disposal of investment properties (+€33.6 Mn in H1-2024 vs. +€294.0 Mn in H1-2023) and an increase of Capital expenditures (-€673.2 Mn in H1- 2024 vs. -€438.2 Mn in H1-2023).

Cash flow from financing activities

The net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to -€1,122.3 Mn (-€183.9 Mn) reflecting the distribution payment in H1-2024 (-€347.9 Mn), a decrease in New borrowings and financial liabilities (+€236.7 Mn in H1-2024 vs. +€723.1 Mn in H1-2023), and an increase in Repayment of borrowings and financial liabilities (-€890.0 Mn in H1-2024 vs. -€522.1 Mn in H1-2023).

44 Includes valuation movements, disposals, mark-to-market and termination costs of financial instruments, including bond tender premiums, impairment of goodwill or reversal of negative goodwill and other non-recurring items.

45 Under IFRS, the Hybrid Securities are accounted for as shareholders' equity. The AREPS are calculated based on the Recurring net result for the period attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares minus the coupon on the Hybrid Securities (from June 1, 2018).

VII. POST-CLOSING EVENTS

On July 1, 2024, URW acquired the remaining 50% interest in Westfield Montgomery from its JV partner, Nuveen Asset Management, through an off-market transaction pursuant to existing contractual agreement. With this transaction, URW has now full ownership of the asset, which increases the Group's optionality for this 105,000 sqm A-rated Flagship destination in Maryland (US). On July 22, 2024, the Group secured a 2-year extension of the current \$350 Mn CMBS backed by Westfield Montgomery at an attractive fixed rate of 3.766%.

On July 11, 2024, URW's partner in Aupark (Bratislava) exercised its call option for the acquisition of the remaining 13% stake, which is expected to complete before end of September 2024. URW will continue the asset and property management.

On July 11, 2024, URW extended the exclusivity period for the sale of Westfield Oakridge. The Group had received a nonrefundable deposit of \$30 Mn.

On July 19, 2024, URW signed additional sustainability-linked credit facilities for a total amount of €550 Mn and an average maturity of 4.4 years. Concurrently, the Group repaid €500 Mn short-term loans put in place since the COVID period with a remaining maturity of 2.6 years.

Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier Project Update

Following the TIC increase on the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier Project, the Group has taken the following actions and mitigating measures:

  • Launch of comprehensive, independent investigation, undertaken by Accuracy (forensic specialists) and White & Case (legal counsel), and under the supervision of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board;
  • Reinforcement of contract management team;
  • Changes to the executive leadership of the project and its oversight.

In order to mitigate the impact of the overrun on the Group's LTV, URW will re-prioritise and rephase some of its asset plans to reduce its Capex spending over the next 18 months in a way that protects long-term value creation of these assets. This is expected to offset around half of the overruns.

The Group is working towards a retail opening of Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier on October 17, 2024, followed by a phased opening of the hotels and office buildings.

VIII. OUTLOOK

The Group confirms its full year AREPS guidance to be in a range of €9.65 - €9.80, in view of H1-2024 positive operating performance.

H2 AREPS includes the impact of further disposals progress expected in the year as well as the delayed opening and increased Total Investment Cost on Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier.

The guidance the Group provided in February on shareholder distributions is unchanged.

2. INVESTMENTS AND DIVESTMENTS

In the period to June 30, 2024, URW invested €705.7 Mn46 (Group share) in capital expenditure in assets and on construction, extension and refurbishment projects, compared to €469.8 Mn in H1-2023.

46 On a proportionate basis, Group share. Does not include the capital expenditure in assets accounted for using the equity method (Crossroad assets, Triangle and Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild in France, Zlote Tarasy in Central Europe and Gropius Passagen in Germany).

47 Amount capitalised in asset value.

48 Commitment to build roads.

5. Disposals

The real estate investment market continues to face challenges amid volatile conditions. Persistent inflation, uncertainty around interest rate cuts in particular in the US, and geopolitical concerns are key factors influencing the markets across all segments (core, core-plus and value-add). 2024 is particularly impacted by a series of crucial elections, including in the US, UK, France, and the European Parliament. These events have added layers of complexity and uncertainty, slowing transaction executions.

Despite this, in the year-to-date, URW successfully completed or secured €0.3 Bn of transactions49 , aligned with last unaffected book values. This includes:

  • The disposal of Equinoccio in Spain to Atitlan for a Total Acquisition Cost of €34 Mn, closed on January 30, 2024;
  • The Sale and Purchase Agreement signed on Westfield Annapolis, a Regional asset in the US for a NDP of c. \$160 Mn (at 100%, URW share 55%), signed on July 7, 2024. The Group had received a non-refundable deposit of \$10 Mn;
  • The exercise of the call option by URW's partner on Aupark (Bratislava) for the acquisition of the remaining 13% stake on July 11, 2024; and
  • Sales agreements on several non-core assets and land plots in France for c. €70 Mn.

This represents €0.5 Bn of net debt reduction49 when combined with previously secured deals not yet completed.

In addition, the Group remains actively engaged in discussions with potential buyers for €1.0 Bn in assets. The Group remains committed to further deleveraging through disposals in Europe, in line with its long-standing capital recycling policy, and the radical reduction of financial exposure in the US.

49 Contribution to the proportionate net debt reduction.

As at June 30, 2024, URW's share of the Total Investment Cost ("TIC"50 and "URW TIC"51) of its development project pipeline amounted to €2.9 Bn52 , corresponding to a total of 0.5 million sqm of Gross Lettable Area ("GLA"53) to be re-developed or added to the Group's standing assets.

1. Pipeline variations since December 31, 2023

The development pipeline TIC has increased from €2.5 Bn to €2.9 Bn as at June 30, 2024, as a result of (i) TIC increase of the mixed-use project in Hamburg due to claims, further cost increases and delayed opening (expected in H2-2024), (ii) 2 additional projects added to the Pipeline, and (iii) partially offset by delivery of 3 projects in H1-2024.

1.1. Projects delivered in H1-2024

Since December 31, 2023, the Group has delivered 3 projects representing a URW TIC of €0.2 Bn, comprised of:

  • CNIT Eole, a redevelopment of the shopping centre to the new gateway of Paris La Défense with restructuring over 29,377 sqm including 45 new shops, and a new Convention and Exhibition centre;
  • Old Orchard Lord & Taylor unit, a 11,619 sqm restructuring of a former department store box into 4 large units and 2 small units to host tenants as Zara, Pottery Barn, Arhaus and Puttshack; and
  • Fisketorvet Dining Experience, a 5,894 sqm refurbishment of the dining area (including 1,582 additional sqm) of the Fisketorvet Mall in Copenhagen, by creating a destination with attractive and renewed dining offer.

The average letting54 of these deliveries stood at 94% as at June 30, 2024.

In addition, 125 apartments of Coppermaker Square, a residential project in Stratford (East London), were delivered in H1- 2024, bringing the total number of apartments delivered to date to 1,032 out of a total of 1,225 apartments. The remaining C blocks (16% of the project) is expected to be delivered in H1-2025.

50 100% TIC is expressed in value at completion. It equals the sum of: (i) all capital expenditures from the start of the project to the completion date and includes: land costs, construction costs, study costs, design costs, technical fees, tenant fitting-out costs paid for by the Group, letting fees and related costs, eviction costs and vacancy costs for renovations or redevelopments of standing assets; and (ii) opening marketing expenses. It excludes: (i) step rents and rent-free periods; (ii) capitalised financial interests; (iii) overhead costs; (iv) early or lost Net Rental Income; and (v) IFRS adjustments.

51 URW TIC: 100% TIC multiplied by URW's percentage stake in the project, adjusted by specific own costs and income, if any.

52 This includes the Group's share of projects fully consolidated and projects accounted for using the equity method, excluding remaining Capex on delivered projects, Viparis Capex commitments and commitments on the roads for the Westfield Milano project.

53 GLA equals Gross Lettable Area of projects at 100%.

54 GLA signed, all agreed to be signed and financials agreed.

1.2. Project changes – Westfield Hamburg

Following the disruption due to an isolated water leak identified in a technical area in the basement, technical measures were implemented to reinforce the water tightening of the premises and to ensure that future potential water leaks do not create major technical damages. The opening date for the Westfield Hamburg (retail) project was therefore postponed from H1- 2024 and is now set for October 17, 2024.

The updated TIC of the Westfield Hamburg project was estimated at €2.16 Bn as at June 30, 2024, up from €1.64 Bn.

This increase in overall project cost is split into €160 Mn directly attributable to the delayed opening and water leak, and €360 Mn of cost overruns mostly due to change orders, quantity gaps and provisions for claims.

The Westfield Hamburg retail project is now 93% pre-let, an improvement compared to 86%55 at year-end 2023. The office buildings to be mainly delivered in H2-2024 are 62%56 pre-let to Mazars, Wayes, Shell and ADLER Smart Solutions (vs. 36% as at December 31, 2023). The hotels are fully let to Ibis Styles and Novotel (expected to open in October and November 2024), as well as Pullman that will open in 2025.

1.3. New projects and status update

The URW TIC has seen a +€0.1 Bn increase since the end of 2023, largely due to 2 US projects being added to the Pipeline:

  • UTC Luxury precinct in California; including 6 luxury operators and 2 restaurants (and part of the 'Committed projects');
  • Garden State Plaza Mixed-Use in New Jersey; a 55,338 sqm mixed-use scheme encompassing retail, dining and entertainment offer for future residents in partnership with co-developer Mill Creek Residential (included in the 'Controlled projects').

In addition to the above, the new retail, dining and leisure project of Centrum Černý Most extension has now shifted from the 'Controlled' to the 'Committed' pipeline following the launch of the works.

2.2. Detailed overview

URW Development pipeline by grouping

71% of the total Committed pipeline URW TIC was already spent as at June 30, 2024, representing an amount of €2,030 Mn, of which €1,110 Mn was on the retail pipeline and €920 Mn on Offices and Others. Of the €810 Mn still to be invested for Committed projects, €290 Mn has already been contracted.

Controlled pipeline URW TIC amounts to €70 Mn and relates to the Garden State Plaza Mixed-Use scheme in New Jersey.

URW Cost to Date per country

(a) Based on main use of the project.

(b) Based on the split of GLA per project.

The Group has an increasing focus on mixed-use projects (notably including residential, offices & hotels) such as Coppermaker Square next to Westfield Stratford City and Westfield Hamburg. Westfield Hamburg encompasses retail, offices, hotels and residential, and now accounts for 76% of URW Committed projects TIC.

3. Deliveries expected in H2-2024

H2-2024 will include 2 main key deliveries:

  • Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, a mixed-use project in Hamburg's seaside with retail, offices, hotels and a cruise ship terminal with an opening date now planned on October 17, 2024 for the retail scope and a total of 150,400 sqm delivered mainly in 202458. These deliveries58 are currently 88% pre-let compared to 80% last year; and
  • ▪ Lightwell, a 31,744 sqm restructuring of the Michelet Galilée building in La Défense, currently 80% pre-let to Arkema.

The average pre-letting59 of these future deliveries58 in 2024 stands at 87% (93% for the retail components only) as at June 30, 2024.

At the end of December 2024, the total URW TIC, reflecting €2.3 Bn deliveries58 during the second half of the year, is expected to reduce to €0.6 Bn, based on current portfolio of projects60 .

57 Figures may not add up due to rounding.

58 In the case of staged phases in a project, the date corresponds to the delivery date of the main phase.

59 GLA signed, all agreed to be signed and financials agreed.

60 Assuming no additions to the URW Development Pipeline until that date.

URW's NRV amounted to €142.50 per share as at June 30, 2024, a decrease of -€4.20 per share (-2.9%) compared to the NRV as at December 31, 2023 (€146.70 per share).

The NRV includes €3.80 per share of goodwill not justified by the fee businesses or tax optimisations, which is mainly related to the Westfield acquisition. Net of this goodwill, the NRV would be €138.70 per share.

URW's NDV amounted to €119.20 per share as at June 30, 2024, a decrease of -€2.70 per share (-2.2%) compared to the NDV as at December 31, 2023 (€121.90 per share). URW's NDV includes the mark to market of debt and financial instruments but does not include any goodwill.

1. Property portfolio

Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented in the property portfolio are on a proportionate61 basis as at June 30, 2024, and comparisons are with values as at December 31, 2023.

The total GMV of URW's portfolio62 amounted to €49.8 Bn (€49.6 Bn), an increase of +0.4%. On a like-for-like basis, the GMV net of investment decreased by -0.7% (or -€0.3 Bn).

Investment market retail and office

Total real estate investment volumes63 in Continental Europe provisionally represent around half their 10-year H1 average, with €52.4 Bn invested in H1-2024. This is -22% lower than the €67.3 Bn invested in H2-2023 and the €66.8 Bn invested in H1-2023. In the UK, €24.9 Bn was invested63 in H1-2024, +11% higher than the €22.4 Bn invested in H2-2023 and +0.4% higher than the €24.8 Bn invested in H1-2023.

Retail investment63 accounted for 16% of investment in H1-2024 across Continental Europe, in line with its share in H1- 2023 and just below the 10-year average of 18%. In terms of volumes, Retail investment63 in Continental Europe stood at €8.2 Bn in H1-2024 (down -25% vs. H1-2023). Shopping centres accounted for 29% (€2.4 Bn), up from 27% in H1-2023.

Retail investment volumes63 in the UK were €3.7 Bn in H1-2024 (down -22% vs. H1-2023), including shopping centres transactions (€0.7 Bn) down -30% compared to H1-2023 and accounting for 18% of this amount (20% in H1-2023).

Figures may not add up due to rounding.

(a) On a proportionate basis, including transfer taxes and transaction costs (see §1.6 for IFRS and Group share figures).

The portfolio valuation includes:

  • The appraised or at cost value of the entire property portfolio, whether fully consolidated or under joint control (for URW's share);

  • The fair value of the Westfield trademark. The Westfield trademark is a corporate intangible asset that is split by region only for analytical purposes;

  • The equity value of URW's investments in assets not controlled by URW (Zlote Tarasy, Gropius Passagen, Foncière Crossroads, Food Society, Triangle and Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild). The equity value of URW's share investments in assets not controlled by URW amounted to €1,282 Mn (€1,239 Mn). The valuations consider the negative cash flows related to rents paid on concessions or leaseholds, which are accounted for as financial debt in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The portfolio neither includes €0.7 Bn of goodwill not justified by the fee business, nor financial assets such as the cash and cash equivalents on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2024.

(b) Excluding the currency effect, investment properties under construction, assets not controlled by URW, assets at bid value and changes in scope (including acquisitions, disposals and deliveries of new projects) through June 30, 2024. Changes in scope consist mainly of the:

  • Disposal of Equinoccio in Spain;

  • Disposal of two units of Stadshart Amstelveen Residential in The Netherlands;

  • Acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in the shares on CH Ursynów in Poland;

  • Delivery of Westfield CNIT Eole in France;

  • Delivery of Fisketorvet Dining Extension in Denmark; and

  • Centrum Černý Most Extension in Czech Republic which started in H1-2024.

Appraisers

In March 2021, as part of the rotation recommended by RICS, URW signed new appraisal mandates with 2 international and qualified appraisal firms, Cushman & Wakefield and Jones Lang LaSalle, to value its Shopping Centre and Offices & Others portfolio. In Continental Europe, URW rotated the assets appraised by these 2 firms: in H1-2021, the appraisers were rotated for Central Europe, Spain, Nordics, France Offices & Others and The Netherlands and in H2-2021, URW rotated appraisers for France Shopping Centres, Germany and Austria. In H1-2024, URW rotated the appraisers in the US (Cushman & Wakefield and Kroll) on half of the US assets and URW will rotate appraisers on the remaining half of US assets in H2-2024 in line with RICS' recommendations.

URW has allocated properties across independent appraisers by region for comparison and benchmarking purposes. The valuation process has a centralised approach, intended to ensure that capital market views on the Group's portfolio are taken into account. Assets are appraised twice a year (in June and December), except for services companies and the Westfield trademark which will be externally appraised in H2-2024.

In absence of such indicators, the Westfield trademark value assessed by PWC in H2-2023 corrected from currency effect, was retained in H1-2024.

Fees paid to appraisers are determined prior to the valuation process and are independent from the value of properties appraised. A detailed report, dated and signed, is produced for each appraised property. None of the appraisers have received fees from URW representing more than 10% of their turnover.

Integration of ESG in URW's valuations

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors are impacting investment approaches in real estate markets. Driving forces include legislation change, availability of finance, and increasing societal awareness of ESG factors such as climate risk.

A significant amount of information has been made available to the appraisers in relation to several ESG KPIs on an assetby-asset basis64 in connection with a new AFREXIM ESG scorecard built by main valuation firms, international shopping centres' landlords and French institutions representing a diverse scope of retail market participants. Amongst others, these KPIs are the Energy Use Intensity on common areas, BREEAM certificate label part I and II, climate risk studies outcomes, renewable energy on-site production or presence of EV chargers. Appraisers have reviewed and considered the information provided in their valuation process. Capex to be spent in the next 5 years for the Energy Action Plan defined by the Group were integrated in the valuation model.

The information relating to the Group's ESG roadmap provided during the Investors Day in October 2023 was updated so that appraisers could integrate it in their H1-2024 valuations.

64 For European shopping centres.

Valuation methodology

Appraisal methods used by appraisers are compliant with international standards and guidelines as defined by RICS, IVSC ("International Valuation Standards Council") and FEI ("Fédération des Entreprises Immobilières").

Valuation scope

96% of URW's portfolio was appraised by independent appraisers as at June 30, 2024.

Investment Properties Under Construction ("IPUC") for which a value could be reliably determined are required to be accounted for at fair value and were assessed by external appraisers.

IPUC are taken at fair value once management considers that a substantial part of the project's uncertainty has been eliminated, such that a reliable fair value can be established.

Lightwell was valued at fair value for the first time as at December 31, 2021. Westfield Hamburg was assessed at fair value for the first time as at June 30, 2023. Centrum Černý Most Extension was carried at fair value for the first time as at June 30, 2024.

Since and as a result of the acquisition accounting for the Westfield transaction, the main projects in the US, the UK and Italy were carried at fair value as at June 30, 2024.

Refer to the table in the Section "Development projects as at June 30, 2024" for the valuation method used for each development project in the Group's pipeline.

The remaining assets of the portfolio (4%) were valued as follows:

  • At cost, subject to impairment test, for IPUC for which a reliable value could not yet be established. These include assets under development (see Section "Development projects as at June 30, 2024" for more details);
  • Internal valuations were performed by URW as at June 30, 2024, for Services companies and a few minor office assets in the US. The Westfield trademark valuation as at December 31, 2023, was adjusted for currency effect in H1-2024; and
  • At bid value for assets for which the Group has received a purchase offer.

The total value of the IPUC amounted to €2.3 Bn, of which €1.8 Bn valued at fair value and €0.5 Bn valued at cost (32% of the value at cost was tested with an external valuation as at June 30, 2024).

Unless otherwise indicated, valuation changes and references to asset values include transfer taxes and transaction costs.

Valuation methodology

The valuation methodology adopted by PwC for the venues is mainly based on a discounted cash flow model applied to the total net income projected over the life of the concession or leasehold (net of the amounts paid for the concession or leasehold) if it exists, or otherwise over a 10-year period, with an estimate of the asset value at the end of the given time period, based either on the residual contractual value for concessions or on capitalised cash flows over the last year, including the remaining capital expenditures to be spent on Porte de Versailles (€167 Mn).

Evolution of the Convention & Exhibition valuation

The value of URW's Convention & Exhibition venues, including transfer taxes and transaction costs, amounted to €2,611 Mn (€2,572 Mn).

1.5. Services

The Services portfolio is composed of URW's French, German, UK and US property services companies.

URW's Services portfolio is appraised annually by PwC as at each year-end to include all significant fee business activities in the portfolio at their market value for the calculation of URW's NAV. In URW's Consolidated statement of financial position, intangible assets are not revalued but recognised at cost less amortisation charges and/or impairment losses booked.

The value of the Services portfolio decreased by -€56 Mn (-5.2%) on a like-for-like basis, mainly impacted by revenues assumptions for German Fee Business and UK DD&C. It was partly offset by increases of French services companies, UK and US Property Management.

1.7. Additional Valuation parameters - IFRS 13

URW complies with the IFRS 13 fair value measurement and the position paper66 on IFRS 13 established by EPRA.

Considering the limited public data available, the complexity of real estate asset valuations, as well as the fact that appraisers use the non-public rent rolls of the Group's assets in their valuations, URW believes it is appropriate to classify its assets under Level 3. In addition, unobservable inputs, including appraisers' assumptions on growth rates, DR and ECR, are used by appraisers to determine the fair value of URW's assets.

In addition to the disclosures provided above, the following tables provide quantitative data in order to assess the fair valuation of the Group's assets.

Shopping Centres

All shopping centres are valued using the discounted cash flow and / or yield methodologies using compound annual growth rates as determined by the appraisers.

The Exit Capitalisation Rate67 used by appraisers in June 2024 valuations increased by c. +10 bps on average compared to the ones in December 2023 valuations, including:

  • In Continental Europe stable at 5.3%;
  • In the UK stable at 6.9%; and
  • In the US from 5.5% to 5.7% (from 5.3% to 5.4% for the US Flagships and from 9.2% to 9.6% for the US Regionals).

The Discount Rate 67 used by appraisers in June 2024 valuations remained stable on average compared to the ones in December 2023 valuations, including:

  • In Continental Europe stable at 7.3%;
  • In the UK stable at 8.0%; and
  • In the US from 7.4% to 7.5% (from 7.2% to 7.3% for the US Flagships and from 10.9% to 11.2% for the US Regionals).

This increase in ECR and stable DR were partly compensated by higher cash flow with a 10-year NRI CAGR of 3.9% from H1-2024 (vs. 3.9% for valuations as at December 31, 2023) as a result of the strong operating performance seen in H1-2024. It includes a CAGR of indexation of 2.2% in Continental Europe.

2. EPRA Net Asset Value metrics calculation

The EPRA measures68 are calculated by adjusting the equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares, as shown in the Consolidated statement of financial position (under IFRS), for the items as described below. These apply differently to each metric.

2.1. Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares

As at June 30, 2024, the Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares (which excludes both the Hybrid securities and the External non-controlling interests) came to €15,239 Mn.

The Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares incorporated the net recurring profit in the period of €764 Mn and the net negative impact in the period of -€692 Mn as a result of negative valuation movements.

2.2. Fully diluted number of shares

Dilution from securities giving access to share capital as at June 30, 2024, was computed for those instruments which were "in the money" and having fulfilled the performance conditions.

In accordance with IFRS, financial instruments were recorded on URW's statement of financial position at their fair value with the impact of the change in fair value included in the income statement and thus in the equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares.

The exercise of "in the money" stock options and performance shares with the performance conditions fulfilled as at June 30, 2024, as well as the retention shares would have led to a rise in the number of shares by +4,118,212. The dilution of the exercise of "in the money" stock options generates an increase of +€157 Mn on the equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares.

As at June 30, 2024, the fully diluted number of shares taken into account for the EPRA measures calculations was 143,482,316.

2.3. Revaluation to fair value of investment properties, development properties held for investment and other noncurrent investments

No adjustment was made for the purpose of the EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV calculation.

2.4. Deferred tax in relation to fair value movements in investment property

In the Group's IFRS consolidated accounts, deferred tax on property assets was calculated in accordance with accounting standards as at June 30, 2024.

As a result, and consistent with the EPRA methodology, for the purpose of the EPRA NRV calculation, deferred taxes (€1,896 Mn) were added back for the calculation of EPRA NRV, and for the calculation of the EPRA NTA. For the EPRA NTA calculation, -€948 Mn of effective deferred taxes were then deducted. The EPRA NDV was not adjusted.

2.5. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value adjustment of financial instruments recorded in the IFRS consolidated statement of financial position was added back by URW for the EPRA NRV and EPRA NTA calculation for a total amount of €449 Mn (excluding exchange rate hedging) and remained at the IFRS value for the EPRA NDV.

Fair value movements of foreign currency hedging instruments (fair value hedges or net investment hedges) recorded in the balance sheet and associated with foreign exchange retranslation remains in all 3 NAV metrics (NRV, NTA and NDV) to offset the movement in the underlying investment being hedged.

68 Refer to the EPRA website for more detail: EPRA BPR Guidelines 241019.

2.6. Goodwill as a result of deferred taxes

Goodwill booked on the balance sheet as a result of deferred taxes of -€175 Mn as at June 30, 2024, was excluded from the EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV.

2.7. Other Goodwill as per the IFRS Balance Sheet

Goodwill booked on the balance sheet (which is mainly related to the Westfield acquisition) of -€636 Mn was deducted from the EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV (net of the Goodwill resulting from deferred taxes already deducted).

2.8. Intangibles as per the IFRS Balance Sheet

Intangible assets of -€807 Mn have been deducted from the EPRA NTA.

2.9. Fair value of fixed interest rate debt

The value of the fixed rate debt on the balance sheet of the Group is equal to the nominal value of the UR debt and the fair value of the Westfield debt at the accounting combination date (May 31, 2018). Taking fixed rate debt at its fair value would have a positive impact of +€2,525 Mn as at June 30, 2024. This impact was taken into account in the EPRA NDV calculation.

2.10. Revaluation of intangibles to fair value

When the fair value of an intangible asset can reliably be determined and is not already included within goodwill or otherwise recorded on the balance sheet, it is added to the EPRA NRV. The basis of valuation is disclosed. URW uses an external valuer at least annually to determine the valuation of such intangible assets and discloses the name of the firms undertaking the valuations. Care is taken that no double counting takes place with the Goodwill on the balance sheet.

The appraisal of property services companies in France, the US, the UK and Germany, the airport activities (excluding LAX and Chicago), the Westfield trademark and of the operations ("fonds de commerce") of Viparis Porte de Versailles, Paris Nord Villepinte, Palais des Congrès de Paris and Palais des Congrès d'Issy-les-Moulineaux, meet the criteria of this adjustment and have been so valued. This gave rise to an unrealised capital gain of +€1,079 Mn, which was added only for the purpose of the EPRA NRV calculation.

2.11. Real estate transfer tax

As at June 30, 2024, the transfer taxes and costs deducted from asset values in the statement of financial position (in accordance with IFRS) amounted to €1,804 Mn. This amount is taken into account in the EPRA NDV. For the purpose of the EPRA NRV calculation, this amount was added back.

For the purpose of the EPRA NTA calculation, the Group used the optimised net property value. Transfer taxes and transaction costs are estimated after taking into account the likely disposal scenario: sale of the asset or of the company that owns it. As at June 30, 2024, these estimated transfer taxes and other transaction costs compared to transfer taxes and costs already deducted from asset values on the statement of financial position (in accordance with IFRS) came to a positive net adjustment of +€469 Mn.

2.12. URW's EPRA NRV

URW's EPRA NRV stood at €20,449 Mn or €142.50 per share (fully diluted) as at June 30, 2024. The EPRA NRV per share decreased by -€4.20 (or -2.9%) compared to December 31, 2023.

The decrease of -€4.20 compared to December 31, 2023 was the sum of: (i) -€3.37 per share of changes in Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares including mainly the Recurring Net Result, the Revaluation of Investment Properties, the Mark-to-market of debt and financial instruments, the Impairment of goodwill and the distribution (-€2.50); and (ii) -€0.83 per share of changes due to NAV adjustments, including mainly the impacts of fair value of financial instruments adjustment, of real estate transfer taxes, of intangible assets and of deferred taxes on Balance sheet.

2.13. URW's EPRA NTA

URW's EPRA NTA stood at €15,645 Mn or €109.00 per share (fully diluted) as at June 30, 2024. The EPRA NTA per share decreased by -€3.30 (or -2.9%) compared to December 31, 2023.

The decrease of -€3.30 compared to December 31, 2023 was the sum of: (i) -€3.37 per share of changes in Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares including mainly the Recurring Net Result, the Revaluation of Investment Properties, the Mark-to-market of debt and financial instruments, the Impairment of goodwill and the distribution (-€2.50); and (ii) +€0.07 per share of changes due to NAV adjustments, including mainly the impacts of fair value of financial instruments adjustment, of impairment or changes in goodwill as per the IFRS balance sheet, intangible assets and of deferred taxes.

2.14. URW's EPRA NDV

URW's EPRA NDV stood at €17,110 Mn or €119.20 per share (fully diluted) as at June 30, 2024. The EPRA NDV per share decreased by -€2.70 (or -2.2%) compared to December 31, 2023.

The decrease of -€2.70 compared to December 31, 2023 was the sum of: (i) -€3.37 per share of changes in Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares including mainly the Recurring Net Result, the Revaluation of Investment Properties, the Mark-to-market of debt and financial instruments the Impairment of goodwill and the distribution (-€2.50); and (ii) +€0.67 per share of changes due to NAV adjustments corresponding to the impact of fair value adjustment of fixed interest rate debt.

5. FINANCIAL RESOURCES69

H1-2024 saw Eurozone inflation stabilising and leading the ECB to deliver a first rate cut in June. However, remaining uncertainty on inflation evolution led to lower expectations of additional rate cuts for the rest of the year in particular for the FED. French election in June generated further market volatility.

During the period, URW raised €2.1 Bn of fully consolidated medium- to long-term funds in the mortgage and bank markets (including credit facilities renewals). In July, the Group raised an additional €550 Mn of undrawn credit facilities with an average maturity of 4.4 years while repaying €500 Mn of short-term loans with a remaining maturity of 2.6 years.

As at June 30, 2024, the Group's liquidity position stood at €12.7 Bn (€12.8 Bn on a proportionate basis) including €4.6 Bn of cash on hand (€4.8 Bn on a proportionate basis) and €8.0 Bn of credit facilities. This position decreased from €13.6 Bn as at end of 2023, mainly due to €646 Mn of debt repayments in the first half.

As at June 30, 2024:

  • The Interest Coverage Ratio ("ICR") was 4.6x (4.2x);
  • The Funds From Operations (FFO) to Net Financial Debt Ratio ("FFO/NFD") was 8.5% (7.8%);
  • The Loan-to-Value ("LTV") ratio70 was 42.5%71 (41.8%);
  • The Net debt/EBITDA ratio72 was 9.3x (9.3x).

The average cost of debt for the period was 1.9% (1.8%), representing the blended average cost of 1.4% for Euro denominated debt and 4.1% for USD and GBP denominated debt.

69 As the Group's financial covenants are calculated in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise indicated, the financial information in this section is presented in accordance with IFRS. The Group also provides such information on a proportionate basis (see comparative table in section 4). For definitions, refer to the Glossary.

Unless otherwise indicated, comparisons to ratios, debt outstanding, average cost of debt, the amount of undrawn credit lines and cash on hand relate to December 31, 2023.

70 Net financial debt (or "net debt") as shown on the Group's balance sheet, after the impact of derivative instruments on debt raised in foreign currencies / total assets, including transfer taxes (44.2% excluding transfer taxes).

71 Excluding €720 Mn of goodwill not justified by fee business as per the Group's European bank debt leverage covenants (€773 Mn on a proportionate basis).

72 On last 12-month basis.

1. Debt structure as at June 30, 202473

The Group's net debt74 both on an IFRS basis (€20,379 Mn) and on a proportionate basis75 (€21,800 Mn) increased over H1- 2024, primarily as a result of:

  • capital expenditure spent over the period;
  • €348 Mn cash distribution in May; and
  • foreign exchange evolution on the debt raised in USD and GBP (impact of €106 Mn and €135 Mn on an IFRS and proportionate basis respectively)76;

partly offset by:

  • retained cash flow over the period; and
  • the completion of disposals.

The medium- to long-term corporate debt issued by the various URW entities is cross-guaranteed. No loans are subject to prepayment clauses linked to the Group's credit ratings77 .

URW secured additional disposals year-to-date as described in the Section "Investments and divestments".

In addition, on July 2, 2024, URW acquired the remaining 50% interest in Westfield Montgomery (US) from its JV partner, for a total cost of \$186 Mn, including \$175 Mn of the JV partner's share in the existing CMBS debt.

1.2. Funds Raised

Bank debt and credit facility:

In H1-2024, the Group signed a €1.95 Bn sustainability-linked credit facility with a 5-year maturity.

In July, URW signed additional sustainability-linked credit facilities for a total amount of €550 Mn and an average maturity of 4.4 years. Concurrently, the Group repaid €500 Mn short-term loans put in place since the COVID period with a remaining maturity of 2.6 years.

Furthermore, the Group extended, in July, by one year the maturity of €250 Mn existing European credit facilities (including €100 Mn under sustainability-linked format).

Mortgage debt:

During the first half, the Group refinanced €150 Mn maturing mortgage debt on Pasing Arcaden (Germany) at a spread of Mid swap +110 bps and a 5-year maturity. This non-recourse mortgage debt remains fully consolidated in the Group's accounts79 .

In addition, the Group signed in July a 2-year extension of \$350 Mn existing CMBS on Westfield Montgomery (US) at a fixed rate of 3.766%. This non-recourse mortgage debt will be fully consolidated in URW's accounts following the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake from its JV partner in early July.

Short- to medium-term paper:

URW did not issue any short-term paper, due to the Group's high liquidity position in H1-2024.

1.3. Debt maturity as at June 30, 2024

The average maturity of the Group's debt, considering the undrawn credit lines80 and cash on hand stood at 7.4 years and at 5.9 years without taking into account the undrawn credit lines and cash on hand.

The following chart illustrates the split by maturity date of URW's net financial debt as at June 30, 2024.

Debt maturity profile as at June 30, 2024

80 Subject to covenants.

1.4. Liquidity needs

Overall, URW's debt repayment needs81 for the next 12 months are fully covered by the cash on hand as shown in the table below:

81
Debt repayment needs over next 12 months
IFRS Proportionate
Bonds €3,065 Mn €3,065 Mn
Bank loans, Mortgage & overdraft €16 Mn €131 Mn
Total €3,082 Mn €3,196 Mn
Cash on hand €4,620 Mn €4,778 Mn

Figures may not add up due to rounding.

In addition, as at June 30, 2024:

  • The total amount of undrawn credit lines82 was €8,039 Mn (€8,060 Mn).
  • The average residual maturity of these undrawn credit lines stands at 3.6 years.
  • The credit facilities maturing over the next 12 months amount to €0.2 Bn. URW is considering opportunities to extend or renew part of the maturing lines.

The Group's liquidity (including cash on hand and undrawn credit facilities) covers its debt maturities for more than the next 36 months.

1.5. Average cost of debt

The average cost of debt as at June 30, 2024, was 1.9% (1.8%), representing the blended average cost of 1.4% for EUR denominated debt and 4.1% for USD and GBP denominated debt.

The Group's cost of debt slightly increased over H1-2024 due to a higher marginal cost of funding from debt raised in 2023, partly compensated by increasing remuneration on a higher average cash position in H1-2024 and hedges in place.

2. Ratings

URW has a solicited rating from both Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's.

  • In the context of the reinstatement of its distribution, both rating agencies confirmed in February 2024 that this distribution would have no impact on the Group's rating.
  • On May 28, 2024, S&P published a Full Analysis confirming the "BBB+" long-term rating of the Group with "stable" outlook.

3. Market risk management

Market risks can generate losses resulting from fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, raw material prices and share prices. URW's risk mainly relates to (i) interest rate fluctuations on the debt it has taken out to finance its investments and maintain the cash position it requires and (ii) exchange rate fluctuations due to the Group's activities in countries outside the Eurozone, in particular in the US and the UK.

81 Excluding Westfield Montgomery asset backed debt that was extended for 2 years in July 2024.

82 Subject to covenants.

3.1. Interest rate risk management

Over H1-2024, the Group continued to adjust its hedging position in view of market conditions, its current disposal and investment plans, its existing hedging programme and debt83 as well as the debt the Group expects to raise in the coming years.

The Group's net interest rate position84 is fully hedged for 2024, 2025 and 2026.

(*) Including a total of €1,845 Mn hybrid instruments.

Measuring interest rate exposure

Over H1-2024, short-term interest rates across currencies moved by: -198 bps for 3M Euribor, -5 bps for 3M SOFR and -79 bps for 3M Sonia.

Based on the Group's budgeted net debt in H2-2024, if interest rates85 (Euribor, SOFR, Sonia) were to increase/decrease, the Group's recurring result in H2-2024 would be impacted by:

Euros USD GBP Total eq. EUR
-50 bps interest rate -€8.0 Mn +\$2.4 Mn £0.0 Mn -€5.8 Mn
-25 bps interest rate -€4.0 Mn +\$1.2 Mn £0.0 Mn -€2.9 Mn
+25 bps interest rate +€4.0 Mn -\$1.2 Mn £0.0 Mn +€2.9 Mn
+50 bps interest rate +€8.0 Mn -\$2.4 Mn £0.0 Mn +€5.8 Mn

As shown in the table above, the impact of a rate increase on the recurring financial expenses would be positive as the hedging instruments in place in 2024 are expected to be above budgeted debt.

83 On a proportionate basis.

84 The hedging instruments are used to hedge (i) the variable rate debt and (ii) the fixed rate debt immediately converted into variable rate debt, through the Group's macro hedging.

85 The impact on exchange rates due to this theoretical increase/decrease in interest rates is not taken into account. The theoretical impact of an increase/decrease in interest rates is calculated relative to the applicable rates as at June 30, 2024: 3M Euribor (3.7110%), 3M SOFR (5.3219%) and 3M Sonia (5.1269%).

3.2. Foreign exchange risk management

The Group is active in countries outside the Eurozone. When converted into euros, the income and value of the Group's investments may be impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates against the euro. The Group's policy objective is to apply a broadly consistent86 LTV by currency, allowing it to match part of the foreign currency asset value and income with debt and financial expenses in the same currency, thus reducing the exchange rate effects on the Group's balance sheet and earnings. Foreign exchange risk can be hedged by either matching investments in a specific currency with debt in the same currency or using derivatives to achieve the same risk management goal.

The Group's FX main exposures are in USD, GBP and SEK. A change of 10% of EUR/USD, EUR/GBP or EUR/SEK (i.e. a +10% increase of EUR against the USD, GBP or SEK in H2-2024) would have an impact on shareholders' equity and on the recurring net result as follows:

Impact on

+10% in EUR/USD -326 -9.5
+10% in EUR/GBP -132 -7.0
+10% in EUR/SEK -167 -3.4

The impact on the recurring net result would be partly offset by the FX hedging that the Group has put in place against EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/SEK fluctuations.

86 On a proportionate basis.

ICR 4.2x 3.9x
Net debt/EBITDA91 9.7x 9.7x
FFO/Net debt 7.9% 7.3%

The LTV ratio92 increased as a result of higher net debt (mainly due to distribution payment and Capex) partly compensated by +0.4% GMV increase. This includes an impact of +50 bps from the €0.5 Bn cost overruns associated to the Westfield Hamburg project.

Including the hybrid, the LTV would be respectively 46.3% and 47.5% on an IFRS and proportionate basis.

As a reminder, the Group discloses its LTV ratio (i) on an IFRS basis in accordance with its European financial covenants requirements and (ii) on a proportionate basis as followed by some credit rating agencies.

In compliance with the EPRA93 Best Practices Recommendations guidelines94 , the Group also calculated the EPRA LTV, which stood at 54.7% as at June 30, 2024, as a result of the inclusion of hybrid and minority interests' treatment. (see Section "EPRA Performance measures" for more details).

ICR improved in H1-2024 from 4.2x to 4.6x (4.2x on a proportionate basis), supported by:

  • increasing like-for-like EBITDA; and
  • slightly higher cost of debt over H1-2024.

The H1-2024 Net debt/EBITDA of 9.3x, takes into account the operating performance of the Group in H1-2024, offset by the net debt increase during the period. It would be 10.2x including the hybrids.

The Net Debt/EBITDA proforma for the completion of capital expenditures on projects to be delivered in H2-2024 and the annualised EBITDA of these projects is expected to remain stable.

91 On a last 12-month basis.

92 Excluding €720 Mn of goodwill not justified by fee businesses as per the Group's European leverage covenants (€773 Mn on a proportionate basis).

Financial covenants - summary

Corporate debt and credit facilities:

The Group's corporate debt covenants levels and corresponding current ratios are set at:

June 30, 2024 Europe Credit facility
covenants level
Rule 144A and Reg S
Bonds covenants level
LTV95 42.5% < 60% < 65%
ICR 4.6x > 2x > 1.5x
FFO/NFD 8.5% > 4% na.
Secured debt ratio 4.2% na. < 45%
Unencumbered leverage ratio 1.9x na. > 1.25x

These covenants are tested twice a year based on the Group's IFRS financial statements. As at June 30, 2024:

  • 100% of the Group's credit facilities and loans allow an LTV of up to 60% for the Group or the borrowing entity, as the case may be.
  • 100% of the Group's credit facilities and loans require an ICR > 2x for the Group or the borrowing entity, as the case may be.
  • 100% of the Group's credit facilities and loans include an FFO/NFD covenant. These require an FFO/NFD above 4% for the Group or the borrowing entity, as the case may be.

Secured debt non-recourse:

The non-recourse mortgage debt raised by certain entities of the Group includes financial covenants:

Covenant level range % of non-recourse mortgage
incl. this feature in such covenant
Debt Yield covenants 5%-7.5% 25%
Debt to Rent 8.9x 2%
ICR covenants 1.3x – 3.15x 28%
LTV covenants 55% - 75% 53%
  • Any breach under these covenants would not lead to a cross-default on the Group's borrowings;
  • In any case, defaults under these loans are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Group's finances.

Short-term debt:

There are no financial covenants (such as loan-to-value or interest coverage ratios) in the Neu MTN, the Neu CP and the ECP programmes of URW.

2. GLOSSARY

Average cost of debt: recurring financial expenses (excluding the ones on financial leases and the ones related to partners' current accounts) + capitalised financial expenses (excluding non-recurring financial expenses such as mark-to-market and termination costs of financial instruments including bonds repurchased, currency impact) / average net debt over the period.

Average revenue per visit: revenue generated by Westfield Rise divided by the footfall of the same period.

Buyer's Net Initial Yield: annualised contracted rent (including indexation) and other incomes for the next 12 months, net of operating expenses, divided by the TAC.

CAM: Common Area Maintenance.

Committed projects: projects for which URW owns the land or building rights and has obtained all necessary administrative authorisations and permits, approvals of JV partners (if applicable), approvals of URW's internal governing bodies to start superstructure construction works and on which such works have started.

Controlled projects: projects in an advanced stage of studies, for which URW controls the land or building rights, and all required administrative authorisations have been filed or are expected to be filed shortly. There can be no assurance these will become "Committed" projects, as this will be subject to having obtained all required administrative approvals, as well as those of JV partners (if applicable), and of URW's internal governing bodies to start superstructure works.

Debt Yield: ratio of the net operating income to the outstanding loan amount, net of certain cash as defined in the relevant mortgage loan documentation.

Discount Rate (DR): the Discount Rate is the rate used in a Discounted Cash Flow model to calculate the present value of future cash flows (positive or negative) that is to say converting such future cash-flows in today's monetary value.

EBITDA: Recurring Net Operating result before depreciation and impairment of assets.

EPRA Net Reinstatement Value ("NRV"): assumes that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity.

EPRA Net Tangible Assets ("NTA"): assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.

EPRA Net Disposal Value ("NDV"): represents the shareholder's value under a disposal scenario, where deferred tax, financial instruments and other certain adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax.

EPRA NIY: annualised rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the Gross Market Value of the portfolio. For a reconciliation of URW's NIY with the EPRA Net Initial Yield definitions, refer to the EPRA Performance Measures.

EPRA topped-up yield: EPRA Net Initial Yield adjusted in respect of the expiration of rent-free periods (or other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents).

EPRA vacancy rate: Estimated Rental Value (ERV) of vacant spaces divided by ERV of total space (let + vacant).

Exit Cap Rate (ECR): the rate used to estimate the resale value of a property at the end of the holding period. The expected Net Rental Income (NRI) per year is divided by the ECR (expressed as a percentage) to get the terminal value.
