RESULTS 2014

Schiphol February 5, 2015

Summary

Wereldhave had a strong year in 2014. Following the successful restructuring measures of the previous years, including a 50% asset rotation, the direct result is on the way up again (+5.5%). The indirect result was negative, largely due to the transaction costs of the recent acquisitions. The underlying property portfolio performed well, with a strong operational performance.

For 2014, Wereldhave posted a net profit of € 26.9m (2013: € 50.0m). The direct result improved by 5.5% from € 81.3m to € 85.7m. The increase is mainly due to the acquisitions in the Netherlands and like for like rental growth. The indirect result for 2014 amounted to € -58.8m (2013: € -31.2m), largely due to the write off of transactions costs in connection with the acquisitions in the Netherlands and France (€ -41.0m) , and fair value movements on derivatives due to lower market interest rates (€ -8.0m). EPRA NAV slightly decreased to € 54.35 per share at year-end 2014 (2013: € 56.41, restated for share issue), mainly due to the indirect result of € -2.38. The LTV per December 31, 2014 stood at 35.4%.

Wereldhave's operational performance was significantly above target. Like-for-like rental growth of the core retail portfolio for the year 2014 came out at 270 bps above indexation, 70 bps above target. At 98.6%, occupancy of the core retail portfolio (like-for-like) was above target and general costs amounted to € 14.1m (on target).

Wereldhave has entered into the strategic Growth phase. Six shopping centres in France were acquired for € 850m in December. France has now become Wereldhave's fourth retail market. The transaction was partly financed with a rights issue of € 550m.

The recent acquisitions immediately contribute to the direct result per share.

For the years 2015 and 2016, Wereldhave anticipates a compounded average growth of the direct result per share between 6% and 9%. Wereldhave aims for a growing dividend and a pay-out ratio between 85% and 90%, with LTV year-end between 35%-40%.

At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on April 24, 2015, a cash dividend will be proposed of € 2.87 per share.

STRATEGIC PROGRESS: WERELDHAVE ENTERED INTO THE GROWTH PHASE

  • Focus on mid-sized shopping centres in northwest continental Europe
  • France fourth retail market with acquisition of 6 shopping centres: instant critical mass
  • Successful rights issue of € 550m

In response to the changing environment for consumer-, retail-, real estate- and finance-markets, Wereldhave set its strategic focus on shopping centres in North-West Europe and on sustainable offices in Paris. Wereldhave focuses on dominant mid-sized shopping centres in larger provincial cities. The catchment area should comprise of at least 100,000 inhabitants within 10 minutes travel time. Wereldhave's shopping centres offer consumers 'convenient shopping': 90% of shopping needs, strong (inter) national tenants, fully embedded food and beverage functions and easy accessibility, in combination with strong food anchors.

Growth

Wereldhave will play a pro-active role in the consolidation of the European real estate sector and has the ambition to become the specialist in mid-sized shopping centres in northwest continental Europe. These are countries with stable economies and sound long-term perspectives. Dominant mid-sized shopping centres offer customers convenient shopping, have a natural footfall and a proven resilience.

To enter a new market, Wereldhave requires a minimum starting portfolio size between € 500 and € 750 million. This portfolio size will enable Wereldhave to build up and retain a team of highly qualified professionals. Wereldhave has a preference for established centres with stable and solid cash flows, matching Wereldhave's strategic criteria for mid-sized shopping centres as set out above.

On October 16, 2014, Wereldhave announced the acquisition of six shopping centres in France, for a consideration of € 850 million. With this transaction, Wereldhave seized a unique opportunity to execute an off-market deal despite an investment market which continues to show high flows of liquidity. The transaction was completed on December 18, 2014. France has now become Wereldhave's fourth retail market, next to Belgium, Finland and the Netherlands. In addition, Wereldhave remains active as an investor in sustainable offices in Paris. Shopping centres now comprise more than 84.7% of the total portfolio. For the year 2015, the priority will be on the integration of the new French retail organisation. No new markets will be entered before this has been done successfully.

Financing

Wereldhave aims to maintain a diversified funding base, with a Loan-to-Value year-end between 35- 40%. The acquisition of six shopping centres in France was a major step forward in the growth of the company, expanding the portfolio with nearly one third and bringing the balance sheet total at year-end 2014 to € 3.2 billion. The transaction was financed with a rights issue of € 550 million and interest bearing debt of € 150 million. The remainder was paid with available cash, mainly from the disposal of the Spanish portfolio. At year-end 2014, the Loan-to-Value stood at 35.4%, well within the targeted range.

A rights issue to raise € 550 million was launched on December 1, 2014 at an issue price of € 41.23 per Offer Share. The number of Wereldhave ordinary shares outstanding increased to 35,020,921. The new shares are entitled to dividend in respect of the year 2014. In connection with the rights issue, all historical share data have been adjusted.

Focus 2015

  • Execute integration plan in France
  • o Organisation in place (July 1, 2015)
  • o Stabilising NRI of the French retail portfolio at EUR 46 m

portfolio and +3.4% for the offices. Overall like-for-like rental growth amounted to +3.6%, of which +3.6% for the shopping centre
Shopping centre portfolio
Like-for-like rental income in the core retail portfolio increased by +3.6%. Belgium and Finland posted
solid increases well above the index, whereas in The Netherlands like-for-like rental income stabilised
at 1%.
Belgium
The Belgian economy is expected to benefit from lower energy prices and a very low inflation, which
could lead to increased consumer spending. However, austerity measures to bring down the
government budget could have an adverse effect. Belgian retailers are still careful and reluctant to
open new stores, especially larger units. Shopping centres that have a good track record still attract
new tenants. OECD forecasts Belgian GDP to grow by 1.4% in 2015.
The like-for-like rental growth of the Belgian shopping centre portfolio amounted to +3.2%, which is

Belgium

280 bps above indexation. Occupancy in the Belgian retail portfolio decreased to 94.6%. The decrease can be fully attributed to the opening of the Genk Shopping 1 centre in November, which is currently 74% let. The shopping centres in Nivelles, Tournai and Liège are still at or above the 99%.

Finland

The economic sanctions against Russia have impacted the Finnish economy. National sales and consumer spending remain weak and the near-term growth estimates for the Finnish economy have been downgraded. Private consumption is expected to contract in 2015. Demand for retail space is largely from national retailers, but decision making is slow. International retailers have halted their plans for expansion in Finland. OECD forecasts Finnish GDP to grow by 0.9% in 2015, clearly below the OECD average of 2.3%.

Like-for-like rental growth amounted to +6.7%, which is 610 bps above indexation. The increase in like-for-like rental income is driven by successful refurbishment related lettings. The Itis shopping centre refurbishment was completed at year-end 2014 and as not all redeveloped shops have been let before completion, occupancy dropped to 92.1%. The impact of the Ukrainian crisis and the general sentiment is not very beneficial to Itis. The strong success of Gigantti and Zara, both opened in the fall of 2014, give us reason to be confident that occupancy will improve in 2015.

The Netherlands

The Dutch retail market will continue to be challenging in 2015, although there are signs that consumer spending might increase slightly. Lower private pension contributions, low energy prices and low forecasted inflation have a positive effect on disposable income. Retail competition is slightly increasing, while the availability of bank financing is low. Pro-active leasing management has contributed to an increase in occupancy to 98%, in spite of several tenant bankruptcies during the last quarter. The retail climate is harsh, as demonstrated by recent examples of V&D and Schoenenreus. Wereldhave already started pro-actively preparing alternatives for the V&D units in Hoofddorp and Purmerend over the past few months. Value retailers are expanding, but overall demand for retail space is low. OECD forecasts Dutch GDP to grow by 1.4% in 2015.

Like-for-like rental growth in the Netherlands amounted to 1.0%, which is 70 bps below target.

Offices

In the Belgian and Paris offices portfolio, like-for-like rental growth amounted to +3.4%. This is primarily caused by the improved occupancy in the Belgian portfolio, resulting in a 6.5% like-for-like rental growth. In the Paris office portfolio, rental growth amounted to 0.9%.

Occupancy of the shopping centre portfolio remained high during the year, but dropped at year-end 2014 to 93.9% in connection with the completion of development projects and the addition of 6 shopping centres in France, which were acquired at an average occupancy of 91%. For the longer term, Wereldhave aims for a 98% occupancy of the shopping centre portfolio. The completion of the NODA office development in France, which is currently 65% let, caused a decrease of the occupancy rate of the offices portfolio to 85.9% at year-end 2014. The EPRA occupancy rate as at December 31, 2014 amounted to 92.5% (-4.1%).

Portfolio

The property transaction volume for the year 2014 amounted to acquisitions of € 1.2 bln and disposals of properties to an amount of approx. € 200 million.

In the Netherlands, Wereldhave acquired shopping centre De Vier Meren in Hoofddorp in January for € 147.5m. This transaction was soon followed by the acquisition of the remainder of shopping centre De Koperwiek in Capelle aan den IJssel for € 61m. In April, Wereldhave acquired three shops directly adjacent to the Roselaar shopping centre in Roosendaal for € 9m and in September 2014, part of the Kronenburg shopping centre in Arnhem was acquired for € 26m, making Wereldhave, strategically

very important, the single owner. These recent acquisitions perform according to expectations. The recent announcements of V&D however will require additional pro-active leasing management.

Wereldhave Belgium acquired the Delhaize unit of shopping centre Les Bastions in Tournai for € 4.7m and in September Wereldhave Belgium acquired 11,000 m² of the Kortrijk Ring shopping centre. In December, agreement was reached to acquire the leasehold rights of the remaining part of the Kortrijk Ring shopping centre, which is now 100 % owned. This transaction was completed on January 12, 2015. The total acquisition price for the entire centre amounted to € 108m.

On December 18, 2014, Wereldhave completed the acquisition of six shopping centres in France for € 850m. The centres are located in Argenteuil (Paris), Bordeaux, Le Havre, Strasbourg and two in Rouen. All these acquisitions tick all the boxes of our shopping centre investment criteria. The occupancy rate remained stable since the day of announcement of the transaction (October 16, 2014) at 91% to 91.2% at year-end 2014.

During the year, disposals of properties were made in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Spain. In Belgium, two smaller properties were sold for € 1.3m during the first half of the year. In France, Wereldhave sold the Joinville office development. In the Netherlands, a logistics building in Moerdijk was transferred in October 2014 for € 6m. The entire Spanish portfolio was sold in September 2014 for € 99.5m. The total result on disposals amounted to € 9.2m, including the result on the disposal of certificates of the Kortrijk Ring shopping centre in Belgium.

Four development projects were completed in 2014 and the yield on cost remained at or above the budgeted 7%. The office development in Joinville-le-Pont (Paris) was completed and transferred to the buyer in February. In July, the mixed use development in Ghent was transferred to the investment portfolio and in December the redevelopment of Genk Shopping 1 in Belgium and Itis in Finland were transferred to the investment portfolio. Partly fuelled by the opening of a Gigantti electronics store and a Zara flagship store, year-on-year footfall in Itis has increased by 11%. Finally, the NODA office development in Issy-les-Moulineaux (Paris) was transferred to the investment portfolio at December 31, 2014, 65% let. Coca-Cola moved into the five upper floors of the 8 storey building in January 2015.

At December 31, 2014, the total development portfolio amounted to € 43.9m, consisting of the refurbishment program of the Dutch shopping centres and some land positions. The schemes for Roosendaal, Purmerend and Leiderdorp will be developed in-house by the Wereldhave Development Team. Wereldhave will work with Multi Development for the redevelopment of the shopping centres in Maassluis (expansion), Capelle aan den IJssel (redevelopment) and Arnhem (expansion and partial redevelopment). Multi will receive a fixed development fee, which does not depend on leasing, rental levels and value.

The shopping centre refurbishment program is progressing well. The Central Plaza and opening of H&M in the Eggert, (Purmerend) shopping centre have been a success. The refurbishment of units and public areas is scheduled for completion in 2015. Some entrances will follow in 2016, due to the complex tenant rotation plan.

In Maassluis two passages of shopping centre Koningshoek were completed during the second half of the year. The letting of the renovated areas is successful, with new signings of large anchors such as Big Bazar. The renovation is scheduled for completion in 2015. The expansion will start in 2016, which has already been prelet for more than 70%.

The renovation of shopping centre De Roselaar in Roosendaal was almost completed in 2014. Some minor adjustments still need to be finalized in 2015 and depend on the tenant rotation scheme. The former post office has been let to Xenos and ANWB; only one unit remains to be let.

The zoning plan for the redevelopment of shopping centre De Koperwiek (Capelle aan de IJssel) has become definitive. Construction to renovate the heart of the centre will start in 2015.

Good progress was also made in the other centres, with the upgrading of units in connection with the rotation of tenants. The good progress of shopping centre Kronenburg in Arnhem proves that upto-standard shopping centres attract increasing footfall. Visitor numbers of the centre have gone up by more than 4% over the year and 10% in the last quarter.

Total result

The higher direct result was due to like for like rental growth and to the effect of acquisitions. The indirect result was impacted mainly by transaction costs in France and the Netherlands. This resulted in total result for 2014 of € 26.9m compared € 50.0m for 2013. The total result per share amounted to € 0.59 (2013: € 1.58).

The results of discontinued operations consists of the results in the US, UK and Spain.
The direct result improved by 5.5% from € 81.3m to € 85.7m, mainly due to the increased net rental
income from acquisitions in the Netherlands and like for like growth with a substantial impact from
the letting of the redeveloped Itis shopping centre in Finland.
General costs for 2014 amount to € 13.5m (including discontinued operations € 14.1m at the target
that was set in 2012). It represents a decrease of € 0.4m compared to the previous year. The
decrease came from cost savings in different areas.

The average interest rates decreased due to refinancing transactions, such as the 1 % coupon convertible bond and the issue of a US private placement. However, interest charges rose by € 3.2m to € 14.5m (including discontinued operations € 1m and € 20.9m respectively), mainly due to the increase in debt to finance the acquisitions that were made in 2014. As at December 31, 2014, the average nominal interest rate on debt stood at 2.2% and 81 % of the debt had a fixed interest rate.

For the year 2014, Wereldhave posted a result from discontinued operations of € -1.5m (2013: € 4.5m). The negative result in 2014 is primarily caused by interest on the debenture loans in the UK, which will expire in the last quarter of 2015. As the UK portfolio was disposed of, these interest charges could no longer be offset against rental income.

Indirect result for FY 2014

The indirect result for 2014 amounted to € -58.8m (2013: € -31.2m). The valuation result of € -40.8m can largely be attributed to the write off of transactions costs in connection with the acquisitions in the Netherlands and France. The valuation result on the portfolio (excluding transaction costs) amounted to € 0.2m. The French offices portfolio (including the completed Noda office building) was revaluated positively with € 23.1m, reflecting the positive investors' climate in the French office market for prime offices. This compensated for a negative revaluation of the Dutch shopping centres portfolio of € 22.7m. This included non-yielding capex of € 12m (as indicated previously), which does not yet result in higher valuations. The revaluation results in the other countries were stable. Other

income and expense was impacted by fair value movements on derivatives due to lower market interest rates.

At December 31, 2014, the EPRA net initial yield on the portfolio stood at 5.5% (June 30, 2014: 5.8%). The decrease in yield is due to the transfer to investments from the development projects Itis, NODA, and the addition to the portfolio of the newly acquired six shopping centres in France.

The result on disposal of € 5.9m relates to the sale of the real estate certificates Kortrijk in Belgium. The profit on the disposal of the Spanish portfolio (€ 3.2 m) has been accounted for under discontinued operations.

The other income and expense of € -18.0m is due to the repurchase cost of the € 100m 2.875% convertible bonds to the amount of € 5m. Interest rate swaps were revalued by € -8.0m in reflection of lower market interest rates. The remaining amount refers amongst others to accrued interest on the convertible.

Equity

At December 31, 2014, shareholders' equity including minority interest amounted to € 1,976m (December 31, 2013: € 1,499.8m. The movement is mainly attributable to the issue of new shares (€ 550m), the dividend payment in respect of the year 2013 (€ 71.5m), the 2014 result of € 15.0m and costs connected to the rights issue of € 18.7m.

The net asset value per share (EPRA) including current profit stood at € 54.35 at December 31, 2014 (2013: € 56.41, restated for share issue). 2014 EPRA NAV was affected by the issuance of shares.

On December 16, 2014 the number of shares in issue increased by 13,341,303 ordinary shares to 35,020,921. There are no preference shares in issue. The new shares are entitled to dividend in respect of the year 2014.

Financing

In March, a € 230m Revolving Credit Facility with maturity in 2015 was renewed and increased to € 300m maturing in 2019. In May Wereldhave issued new 5-year Convertible Bonds for € 250m at a fixed coupon of 1%. A € 100m repurchase of the EUR 230 million 2.875% Convertible Bonds due 2015 was made. In July, Wereldhave completed the issuance of € 265m of senior unsecured notes through a US private placement. The notes carry an average interest rate of 2.9% and have an average maturity of 10.1 years. Wereldhave traditionally had a high percentage of loans at variable interest rates, usually about half of the loan portfolio. The interest rate is now fixed for a long time and the percentage of loans at fixed interest rate is currently at 81%.

Nominal interest bearing debt was € 1,261m at December 31, 2014, which together with a cash balance of € 119m results in a net debt of € 1.142m. The average cost of debt and ICR were 2.2% and 5.8 respectively. On December 31, 2014, the Loan to Value amounted to 35.4% (2013: 43.6%).

Dividend

Wereldhave aims for a stable and steady growing dividend. Therefore, in respect of the year 2014 a dividend of € 2.87 in cash will be proposed at the AGM, to be held on April 24, 2015. This is equal to the restated dividend level for 2013, but € 0.06 above the level that was announced in the prospectus for the Rights Issue, dated December 1, 2014.

The ex-dividend date is April 28, 2015. The dividend will be payable as from May 7, 2015.

Outlook 2015

For the year 2015 and 2016, Wereldhave anticipates a compounded average growth of the direct result per share between 6% and 9%. Wereldhave aims for a growing dividend and a pay-out ratio between 85% and 90%, with LTV year-end between 35%-40%.
