1. Summary of the activities since 1 January 2022
In the first half of 2022, Aedifica has shown that - despite the increased volatility on the financial markets - it continues to live up to its ambitions as a leading European healthcare real estate investor. The international expansion continued unabatedly with numerous acquisitions and completions across Europe. The market's confidence in Aedifica's growth strategy was reflected in three successful capital increases that raised approx. €309 million, strengthening the Group to continue its growth momentum. Aedifica's ability to deliver these results despite a volatile macroeconomic environment due to high inflation, rising interest rates and the current geopolitical situation demonstrates the resilience of the healthcare real estate sector, which continues to require additional capacity due to an ageing European population.
EUROPEAN EXPANSION
Aedifica's ambitions were reaffirmed as the Group announced investments and developments in 42 sites across Europe for approx. €527 million (YTD). Furthermore, a total of 14 projects from the investment programme amounting to approx. €63 million were completed during the first half.
At the end of June, Aedifica's real estate portfolio has increased to 599 sites with a capacity of approx. 33,700 residents and approx. 10,600 children. The fair value of the real estate portfolio* increased by
approx. €381 million (+8%) to €5,277 million (compared to €4,896 million at the beginning of the financial year).
In addition, as of 30 June 2022, the Group has a total investment programme in pre-let development projects and acquisitions in progress of approx. €820 million (see section 3.2 of the property report). Considering this investment programme, Aedifica's total portfolio is expected to reach the €5.9 billion mark by the end of 2024.

DEFENSIVE FINANCIAL PROFILE
Aedifica's growth strategy continues to enjoy market confidence, as evidenced by the €254 million capital increase via accelerated bookbuilding (ABB) that was completed in June 2022 and which drew a great deal of interest from international institutional investors. This strengthened Aedifica's equity position and reduced the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio to 41.0% as at 30 June 2022. Moreover, financial liquidity was reinforced by contracting €421 million in new long-term bank financing. In July, S&P reaffirmed its BBB investment-grade rating with a stable outlook, reflecting the strength of the Group's balance sheet.

SOUND RESULTS
Aedifica focuses not only on investments and growth but also on managing its existing real estate assets. The result of this effort is reflected in an excellent rental income of €131.0 million (€108.3 million as at 30 June 2021, an increase of approx. 21%). The EPRA Earnings* are slightly above budget and amount to €85.9 million (€67.4 million as at 30 June 2021, an increase of approx. 27%), i.e. €2.36 per share. Aedifica's total profit amounts to €239.1 million, mainly driven by an increase in the fair value of the portfolio. Aedifica demonstrated its ability to grow the company while maintaining a strong focus on financial performance through an increase in earnings per share and a sound debt-to-assets ratio. Taking into account the volatile macroeconomic environment and the increased number of shares following the recent capital increase, these sound results allow Aedifica's Board of Directors to reaffirm the proposed gross dividend of €3.70 per share for the 2022 financial year and adjust the estimated EPRA Earnings* to €4.64 per share.
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Aedifica is paying more attention than ever to sustainability. In its recently published 2021 CSR report the Group stepped up its ambitions by developing a new CSR framework, committing to more ambitious short-, medium- and long-term CSR goals, and outlining how it will achieve net zero emissions across its portfolio by 2050 in a net zero carbon pathway. Matching its words with deeds, Aedifica has developed a green lease annex (see section 6.2). This common frame of reference will allow the Group and its operators to share data and best practices, thus improving the environmental performance of the portfolio. In addition, with 61% of new bank financing contracted in 2022 linked to sustainability KPIs, Aedifica underlines its wish to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy. Moreover, the success of its ambitious CSR strategy is evidenced by the upgrade of the Company's MSCI rating from BBB to A.
