Highlights of 2021 financial results

The 2021 results mainly reflect the sale of the Sarca property and PwC's planned release of approximately 8,000 sqm of the Via Monte Rosa property. The release will allow for the renovation of the Monte Rosa property resulting in a substantial improvement in the quality of the building and a potential increase in rents downstream of the renovation.

EBITDA increased by 40.6% to Euro 44.3 million mainly due to gain deriving from the disposal of the Sarca property. Financial expenses are substantially in line with last year.

Net profit increased of almost 50% to Euro 23.1 million due to the gain deriving from the disposal of the Sarca property. Recurring FFO and net operating profit (EPRA Earnings) declined respectively by 16.9% to Euro 20.1 million and by 14.3% to Euro 15.0 million, mainly due to lower NOI partially offset by lower recurring financial expenses.

As of February 24th, 2022, COIMA RES collected 100% of 2021 rents due (99.4% at the same date in 2021). On a like for like basis, gross rents for office portfolio increased by 2.3% (excluding Monte Rosa) on which the value generation project is launched.

In absolute terms, gross rents declined by 7.2% in 2021, the Net Operating Income (NOI) by 8.9% and the NOI Margin by 180 bps (to 89.0%), due to the release of PWC, which allows the start of the value generation of the Monte Rosa property, and to the positive results of the bank branches and Sarca property disposals program, partially offset by the evolution of rents on the properties in the portfolio.

G&A expenses are substantially in line with last year and equal to Euro 8.6 million.

Following of the Sarca property and a bank branch disposal, net of Euro 6.5 million of capex (on a pro-quota basis) and Euro 4.4 million of negative fair value change (on a pro-quota basis), the value of the portfolio declined in 2021 (on a pro-quota basis) to Euro 641.8 million, equal to 6.8% compared to December 31st, 2020.

EPRA Net Tangible Assets, as of December 31st, 2021, stood at Euro 460.5 million (or Euro 12.75 per share), an increase of 2.7% in 2021. The increase is mainly related to net operating profit (EPRA Earnings) of Euro 15.0 million, gain deriving from Sarca property disposal of Euro 13.0 million and negative revaluations for Euro 4.4 million (on a pro-rata basis), partially offset by the dividend payment of Euro 10.8 million. As of December 31st, 2021, the net LTV of COIMA RES stood at 30.5% (on a consolidated basis), a level 780 bps lower compared to December 31st, 2020. The consolidated cash position of COIMA RES as of December 31st, 2021, stood at Euro 90.6 million.

On the basis of the current portfolio perimeter, COIMA RES estimates to reach in 2022 a level of net operating profit (EPRA Earnings) equal to Euro 0.30 per share. The estimate reflects the release of approximately half of the Monte Rosa property by PwC during Q1 2021, the release of the Tocqueville property by Sisal during Q1 2022, the release of the Deruta property by BNL during Q2 2022 and other prudential considerations. The net operating profit (EPRA Earnings) guidance will be updated during the course of 2022 to reflect the evolution of COIMA RES' activity during the year.

Dividend for 2021 of Euro 0.30 per share

The Board of Directors of COIMA RES resolved to propose to shareholders a dividend for the fiscal year 2021 of Euro 0.30 per share (amounting to Euro 10,831,967.40), in line with the dividend distributed in the last two years. An interim dividend of Euro 0.10 per share has already been paid on November 17th, 2021. The final dividend of Euro 0.20 per share will be distributed with an ex- dividend date on April 25th, 2022, record date on April 26th, 2022, and payment date on April 27th, 2022.

Financing

Microsoft: During the month of February 2021, the extension and amendment of the Euro 22.0 million financing of the Microsoft headquarters (provided by Intesa Sanpaolo) was finalised. The maturity of the financing was extended for a period of 3 years, i.e. from December 21st, 2020, to December 21st, 2023, and the margin was reduced by c. 15 basis points. In addition, the amended agreement provides the possibility of increasing the amount of the financing provided by Intesa Sanpaolo to a maximum of Euro 49.5 million at the same economic conditions.

COIMA RES: In December 2021, COIMA RES has agreed to enter into a new financing agreement with Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (Agent), BNP Paribas, ING Bank and UniCredit for Euro 165.0 million for the financing of the real estate portfolio (for Euro 120.0 million) and the granting of a new line, for Euro 45.0 million, to support the capex plans relating to the Monterosa, Tocqueville and Deruta properties. The new loan is secured by the 100% directly and indirectly held properties and has a maturity of 5 years and an "all in" cost of c. 2.1%.

The financing was structured, with the support of ING Bank as green advisor, considering the alignment with the European taxonomy of environmentally sustainable economic activities on the basis of what was approved by the European Commission on April 21st, 2021, formally adopted on June 4th, 2021.

Real estate portfolio

As of December 31st, 2021, the COIMA RES portfolio consists of eight real estate properties mainly for office use located in Milan and 58 bank branches located in the North and Centre of Italy. The portfolio is valued at Euro 641.8 million (on a pro-quota basis), 92% of which is in Milan, 59% in Milan Porta Nuova and 88% is for office use. COIMA RES' portfolio has a high sustainability profile as approximately 66% of the portfolio is LEED certified; a further 26% is eligible for LEED certification following refurbishment projects. COIMA RES' portfolio of tenants is mostly comprised of mid to large sized multinational corporations: the list of the ten largest tenants (representing 89% of the stabilised rent roll on a pro-quota basis) includes Vodafone, Sisal Group, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, Microsoft, IBM, Accenture, Techint, NH Hotel and Bernoni Grant Thorton. In line with its business model and strategy, COIMA RES is considering further disposals of mature, non-core and non- strategic assets as well as the refurbishment and repositioning of selected assets within its portfolio in order to align them to the evolution of tenants' demand and to generate rental growth.

Leasing

Microsoft: On April 6th, 2021, a new lease agreement was signed for ground floor retail in the Microsoft property (about 400 sqm), previously occupied by Microsoft. The new agreement has a duration of nine years (with eight months of free rents) with an annual rent, for the first two years, amounting to Euro 200 thousand and, for the following years, amounting to Euro 280 thousand.
