Gross rental income

In 2020, gross rental income increased due to the Group’s acquisition of offices in Warsaw, Poland during 2019. Similarly, there was an increase in cost of service charges and property operating expenses.

Interest income and expense

Interest income increased from €34.4 million to €38.6 million in the three months period ended 31 March 2020. The increase reflects the increase of loans provided by the Group to related parties. Interest expense increased from €15.2 million to €32.1 million the three months ended 31 March 2020. The increase reflects the increase of loans received by the Group primarily from the parent company.

Other net financial result

Other net financial result in the three-months ended 31 March 2020 represented primarily:

• foreign exchange losses of €147.6 million from retranslation of the loans provided to related parties in foreign currencies; and
• the valuation gain of €51.4 million due to retranslation of the Group’s portfolio valued in EUR but denominated in foreign currencies (CZK, HUF and PLN).

GLOSSARY

The Group presents alternative performance measures (APMs). The APMs used in this press release are commonly referred to and analysed amongst professionals participating in the Real Estate Sector to reflect the underlying business performance and to enhance comparability both between different companies in the sector and between different financial periods. APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with the IFRS. The presentation of APMs in the Real Estate Sector is considered advantageous by various participants, including banks, analysts, bondholders and other users of financial information:

• APMs provide additional helpful and useful information in a concise and practical manner.
• APMs are commonly used by senior management and Board of Directors for their decisions and setting of mid and long-term strategy of the Group and assist in discussion with outside parties.
• APMs in some cases might better reflect key trends in the Group’s performance which are specific to that sector, i.e. APMs are a way for the management to highlight the key value drivers within the business that may not be obvious in the consolidated financial statements.

EPRA Net Asset Value per share
EPRA Net Asset Value per share is defined as EPRA NAV divided by the diluted number of shares at the end of period.

EPRA NAV
EPRA NAV is a measure of the fair value of net assets assuming a normal investment property company business model. Accordingly, there is an assumption of owning and operating investment property for the long term. For this reason, deferred taxes on property revaluations and the fair value of deferred tax liabilities are excluded as the investment property is not expected to be sold and the tax liability is not expected to materialize. In addition, the fair value of financial instruments which the company intends to hold to maturity is excluded as these will cancel out on settlement. All other assets including trading property, finance leases, and investments reported at cost are adjusted to fair value. The performance indicator has been prepared in accordance with best practices as defined by EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) in its Best Practices Recommendations guide, available on EPRA’s website (www.epra.com).

Equity ratio
Equity Ratio provides a general assessment of financial risk undertaken. It is calculated as Total Equity divided by Total Assets.

Gross Leasable Area
Gross leasable area (GLA) is the amount of floor space available to be rented. Gross leasable area is the area for which tenants pay rent, and thus the area that produces income for the property owner.

Occupancy rate
The ratio of leased premises to total GLA.

Property Portfolio
Property Portfolio covers all properties held by the Group, independent of the balance sheet classification, from which the Group incurs rental or other operating income.
