PRESS RELEASE

REGULATED INFORMATION

Brussels, 26.04.2024, 7:30 a.m. CET

1. Summary of activity

Cofinimmo has been acquiring, developing and managing rental properties for 40 years. Responding to societal changes, Cofinimmo's permanent objective is to offer high-quality care, living and working spaces ('Caring, Living and Working - Together in Real Estate'). Capitalising on its expertise, Cofinimmo consolidates its leadership in European healthcare real estate.

The pandemic that the world has been experiencing in recent years has highlighted the importance of the healthcare segment for each and every one of us. Through its investments, Cofinimmo is actively participating in the operation, maintenance, expansion and renewal of the healthcare property portfolio in nine countries.

During the first quarter, Cofinimmo made several investments (for 30 million EUR), mainly in various healthcare real estate sub-segments in Europe. Thanks to these operations, healthcare real estate assets (4.6 billion EUR) account for 75% of the group's consolidated portfolio as at 31.03.2024, which reaches 6.2 billion EUR.

Cofinimmo constantly evaluates its assets portfolio based on the key points of its strategy and the available market opportunities. In this context, the group carried out disposals for more than 30 million EUR, contributing to the reduction by 0.3% of the debt-to-assets ratio. These are noticeable in the three sectors of activity.

Consequently, Cofinimmo has balanced investments and divestments in the first quarter (1 million EUR net investment, with a neutral impact on the debt-to-assets ratio).

Cofinimmo has been adopting a proactive ESG policy for more than 15 years. This is a real priority for the group, which once again distinguished itself in 2024. Several ESG labels previously granted have been renewed or improved (Equileap, Carbon Disclosure Project). As a result, Cofinimmo has been recognised as the #1 company in Belgium in terms of gender equality by Equileap. Moreover, Cofinimo was granted several new BREEAM certifications in healthcare real estate in Spain. On 25.04.2024, Cofinimmo's ESG efforts were praised again by the international financial press (Financial Times), with the group being the only real estate company, among 10 Belgian groups, listed in the 600 Europe's Climate Leaders 2024.

In terms of financing, Cofinimmo reinforced its financial resources and its balance sheet structure during the previous financial years (cumulative capital increases of 565 million EUR in 2021, 114 million EUR in 2022, and 247 million EUR in 2023). The financing operations during this period enabled the group to improve the maturity timetable of its financial debts, to increase the amount of available financing, and to maintain an average cost of debt* at particularly low levels. As a result, the only remaining financing to be repaid in 2024 is the 55 million EUR Green & Social Bond 2016-2024, maturing next December. Since this loan was contracted on favourable terms, it will be held until maturity. As at 31.03.2024, Cofinimmo had close to one billion EUR of headroom on committed credit lines, after deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme. In addition, the interest rate risk is fully hedged as at 31.03.2024 as part of the long-term interest rate hedging policy.

The group's momentum in terms of investments, divestments and financing (average cost of debt* at 1.4%), coupled with efficient management of the existing portfolio in transformation (occupancy rate of 98.4%, gross rental income up 2.2% on a like-for-like basis* thanks to recent indexations, which usually take place on the anniversary date of the contract, operating margin* at 82.0%), enabled the company to realise a net result from core activities - group share* of 55 million EUR as at 31.03.2024, (compared to the 53 million EUR that were made as at 31.03.2023, i.e. a 2% increase). This was mainly due to the investments made, higher than the effect of divestments, as well as the positive effect of contracts indexation. The net result from core

Brussels, 26.04.2024, 7:30 a.m. CET

activities - group share - per share* amounts to 1.49 EUR (in line with the outlook1, compared to 1.62 EUR as at 31.03.2023), taking into account the issuance of shares in 2023. The effect of divestments and capital increases on this indicator is -0.12 EUR per share and -0.18 EUR per share respectively, i.e. -0.30 EUR per share in total over the first three months of the 2024 financial year.

The net result - group share amounts to 17 million EUR (i.e. 0.48 EUR per share) as at 31.03.2024, compared to 17 million EUR (i.e. 0.53 EUR per share) as at 31.03.2023. This stability is due to the fact that the increase in the net result from core activities - group share* is offset by the net impact of the change in the fair value of hedging instruments and investment properties - non-cash items - between the first three months of 2023 and the first three months of 2024.

With a debt-to-assets ratio of 43.1% as at 31.03.2024 (compared to 43.8% as at 31.12.2023), Cofinimmo's consolidated balance sheet (whose BBB/Stable/A-2 rating was confirmed on 18.03.2024) shows a strong solvency (information on main risks and uncertainties are stated in section 14).

Based on the information currently available and the assumptions detailed in section 12.1 below (320 million EUR gross investments and 270 million EUR divestments in 2024, with these net investments having a near neutral effect on the debt-to-assets ratio), Cofinimmo confirms the guidance published in the press release dated 23.02.2024 which provided, barring major unforeseen events, to achieve a net result from core activities - group share* of 6.40 EUR per share for the 2024 financial year, taking into account the prorata temporis dilutive effects of the capital increases carried out in 2023 (approximately 0.50 EUR per share) and the divestments carried out in 2023 and budgeted in 2024 (approximately 0.40 EUR per share). Based on the same data and assumptions, the debt-to-assets ratio would remain nearly stable at approximately 44% as at 31.12.2024. This ratio does not take into account possible additional changes in the fair value of investment properties (which will be determined by the independent real estate valuers).

These items (provided subject to the main risks and uncertainties stated, see section 14 below) allow to confirm the outlook for the gross dividend (6.20 EUR per share for the 2024 financial year, payable in 2025), subject to the evolution of the net result from core activities - group share - per share* and the evolution of the debt-to-assets ratio.
