CPI Property Group (société anonyme) 40, rue de la Vallée L-2661 Luxembourg R.C.S. Luxembourg: B 102 254                                                                                                                              Press Release - Corporate News Luxembourg, 30 November 2022 CPI PROPERTY GROUP publishes financial results for Q3 2022 CPI PROPERTY GROUP (hereinafter “CPIPG”, the “Company” or together with its subsidiaries the “Group”), a leading owner of income-generating European real estate, hereby publishes unaudited financial results for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022. “CPIPG’s results reflect much of the positive impact from our acquisitions in 2022,” said Martin Nemecek, CEO. “The combined Group’s power to generate income is truly amazing, which reflects the quality of our assets, markets, tenants, and local teams.” Highlights for the third quarter of 2022 include: CPIPG’s property portfolio was €21.2 billion (vs. €13.1 billion at year-end 2021) as the Group consolidated the property portfolios of IMMOFINANZ and S IMMO, partially offset by disposals of more than €700 million during the first three quarters of 2022. Total assets reached €23.7 billion. Income statement figures (gross and net rental income, hotel income, etc.) include seven months contribution from IMMOFINANZ and three months contribution from S IMMO due to the dates of consolidation. Gross rental income was €529 million (+79% vs. Q3 2021), net rental income was €441 million (+67%) and consolidated adjusted EBITDA was €437 million (+61%) driven by acquisitions, stable occupancy at 93.3% and a strong 7.9% like-for-like growth in gross rental income. The Group believes we have the potential to achieve €1 billion in revenues in 2022. As of H1 2022, total contracted rent was €865 million. Hotels reported a net income of €34 million (similar to the same period in 2019) because of a strong recovery in demand and improvement in operational performance. Net business income rose to €479 million (+70% vs. Q3 2021) while FFO was €280 million (+34%). EPRA NRV (NAV) grew by 22% to €8.6 billion. Total liquidity was €2 billion, including €915 million of undrawn revolving credit facilities. Net Loan-to-Value (LTV) increased to 48.6%, reflecting cash spent on acquisitions in Q3. The Group’s current top priority is to reduce LTV via disposals and other possible measures. Net ICR stood at 3.4x. Unencumbered assets decreased to 54%, reflecting the high proportion of secured debt at IMMOFINANZ and S IMMO. “The Group is highly focused on preserving liquidity, reducing leverage and making disposals, but we realise the process could take 12 to 24 months depending on the market,” said David Greenbaum, CFO. “The good news is that CPIPG continues to obtain attractive bank financing and execute significant sales despite a tough market backdrop.” Notable Events Occurring during and after Q3 In September, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed in total the judgement of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, dismissing the lawsuit filed in April 2019 against CPIPG, Radovan Vitek (the “CPIPG Defendants”), and other parties. The lawsuit concerned a group of Kingstown companies, Investhold LTD and Verali Limited (together, the “Kingstown Plaintiffs”) who filed a claim against the CPIPG Defendants and other parties alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) in the United States. The Court of Appeals considered the Kingstown Plaintiffs’ arguments and found them without merit. In November, CPIPG refinanced and upsized a portion of our €750 million secured bank loan in Berlin, which matures in 2024. The new loan was signed for €515 million, with an additional €200 million of proceeds received, and matures in 2029. The loan was concluded with the existing lender (BerlinHyp) at terms similar to the original loan in 2017. Secured bank loans remains available across CPIPG’s core markets at pricing which is hundreds of basis points tighter than the unsecured bond markets. Because of CPIPG’s proactive approach to refinancing in past years, we are confident that debt maturities in 2023 and 2024 can be managed via cash flow, bank financing, and disposals. On 21 November, CPIPG announced the results of the additional acceptance period for the S IMMO tender offer, wherein we achieved a final direct and indirect stake equal to 88.37% of the share capital of S IMMO. Together with the acquisition of IMMOFINANZ (of which CPIPG owns 76.87%), the Group achieved our strategic objective of creating one of Europe’s largest landlords, owning the best real estate platforms in Central and Eastern Europe. The purchase of S IMMO shares was funded via CPIPG’s bridge financings, which have final maturity dates in H1 2025. The current bridge balance is approximately €1.65 billion. CPIPG expects to repay the bridge primarily via disposals, along with bank financing. In total, CPIPG spent €3.4 billion to purchase our stakes in IMMOFINANZ and S IMMO, of which €2.7 billion was funded with bridge drawings. About €925 million of the bridges have already been repaid via capital markets transactions, secured loans and disposals. In November, CPIPG conducted our annual distribution via share buybacks, but reduced the payout ratio from 65% to 55% of FFO 1. Since H1 results were announced at the end of August, CPIPG made further significant progress on the disposal pipeline, closing sales with gross proceeds exceeding €300 million. Net proceeds from the €300 million of sales (after repayment of associated secured debt) were approximately €190 million.               The Group’s disposal pipeline still exceeds €2 billion, excluding the recent successful closed disposals. Currently, more than half of our disposal pipeline has received letters of intent from one or more buyers outlining the transaction parameters. A meaningful portion of these transactions are in advanced stages of due diligence and documentation, and the Group hopes to announce additional significant disposals before year-end and during Q1 2023.     FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS*   Performance   Q1-Q3 2022 Q1-Q3 2021 Change           Gross rental income € million 520 291 79.0% Net rental income € million 441 265 66.5% Net hotel income € million 34 10 252.8% Total revenues € million 885 474 86.7% Net business income € million 479 282 69.6%           Consolidated adjusted EBITDA € million 437 272 60.6% Funds from operations (FFO) € million 280 208 34.4%           Net profit for the period € million 977 801 22.0 %                             Assets   30-Sep 2022 31-Dec 2021 Change           Total assets € million 23,723 14,369 65.1% Property portfolio € million 21,172 13,119 61.4% Gross leasable area sqm 6,759,000 3,667,000 84.3% Occupancy % 93.3 93.8 (0.5 p.p.)

The increase was driven by the acquisitions of IMMOFINANZ and S IMMO (investment property increased by €8.0 billion and cash and cash equivalents by €780 million), partly offset by a decrease in assets held for sale due to disposals in the period. Total liabilities Total liabilities increased by €7.1 billion (106%) to €13.8 billion as at 30 September 2022 compared to 31 December 2021, primarily due to the acquisitions of IMMOFINANZ and S IMMO. The Group also drew two new bridge facilities with €1.5 billion outstanding at 30 September 2022. Equity and EPRA NRV Total equity increased from €7.7 billion as at 31 December 2021 to €9.9 billion as at 30 September 2022 (by €2.2 million). The movements of equity components were as follows:                    Increase due to the profit for the period of €976.8 million (profit to the owners of €850.8 million); Increase of non-controlling interests (NCI) by €1.8 billion through the acquisitions of IMMOFINANZ and S IMMO; Decrease in translation reserve of €38.4 million; and Increase in revaluation, hedging and legal reserve of €60.4 million. EPRA NRV was €8.6 million as at 30 September 2022, representing an increase of 21.5% compared to 31 December 2021. The increase of EPRA NRV was driven by the above changes in the Group’s equity attributable to the owners (increase of retained earnings, other reserves and decrease of translation reserve) and changes in deferred tax (primarily due to the acquisitions of IMMOFINANZ and S IMMO and revaluations).     30 September 2022 31 December 2021       Equity attributable to the owners (NAV) 6,993 5,992 Diluted NAV 6,993 5,992 Revaluation of trading property and PPE - - Fair value of financial instruments (134)   Deferred tax on revaluations 1,738 1,090 Goodwill as a result of deferred tax (43) (43) EPRA NRV (€ million) 8,554 7,039   GLOSSARY   Alternative Performance Measures (APM) Definition Rationale Consolidated adjusted EBITDA Net business income as reported deducting administrative expenses as reported. This is an important economic indicator showing a business’s operating efficiency comparable to other companies, as it is unrelated to the Group’s depreciation and amortisation policy and capital structure or tax treatment. It is one of the fundamental indicators used by companies to set their key financial and strategic objectives. Consolidated adjusted total assets Consolidated adjusted total assets is total assets as reported deducting intangible assets and goodwill as reported.   EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV) EPRA NRV assumes that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity. Makes adjustments to IFRS NAV to provide stakeholders with the most relevant information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities within a true real estate investment company with a long-term investment strategy. Funds from operations or FFO It is calculated as net profit for the period adjusted by non-cash revenues/expenses (like deferred tax, net valuation gain/loss, impairment, amortisation/depreciation, goodwill etc.) and non-recurring (both cash and non-cash) items. Calculation also excludes accounting adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations provide an indication of core recurring earnings. Net debt/EBITDA It is calculated as Net debt divided by Consolidated adjusted EBITDA. A measure of a company’s ability to pay its debt. This ratio measures the amount of income generated and available to pay down debt before covering interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation expenses. Net ICR It is calculated as Consolidated adjusted EBITDA divided by a sum of interest income as reported and interest expense as reported. This measure is an important indicator of a firm´s ability to pay interest and other fixed charges from its operating performance, measured by EBITDA. Net Loan-to-Value or Net LTV It is calculated as Net debt divided by fair value of Property Portfolio. Loan-to-value provides a general assessment of financing risk undertaken. Secured consolidated leverage ratio Secured consolidated leverage ratio is a ratio of a sum of secured financial debts and secured bonds to Consolidated adjusted total assets. This measure is an important indicator of a firm´s financial flexibility and liquidity. Lower levels of secured debt typically also means lower levels of mortgage debt - properties that are free and clear of mortgages are sources of alternative liquidity via the issuance of property-specific mortgage debt, or even sales. Secured debt to total debt It is calculated as a sum of secured bonds and secured financial debts as reported divided by a sum of bonds issued and financial debts as reported. This measure is an important indicator of a firm´s financial flexibility and liquidity. Lower levels of secured debt typically also means lower levels of mortgage debt - properties that are free and clear of mortgages are sources of alternative liquidity via the issuance of property-specific mortgage debt, or even sales. Unencumbered assets to total assets It is calculated as total assets as reported less a sum of encumbered assets as reported divided by total assets as reported. This measure is an important indicator of a commercial real estate firm´s liquidity and flexibility. Properties that are free and clear of mortgages are sources of alternative liquidity via the issuance of property-specific mortgage debt, or even sales. The larger the ratio of unencumbered assets to total assets, the more flexibility a company generally has in repaying its unsecured debt at maturity, and the more likely that a higher recovery can be realized in the event of default. Unencumbered assets to unsecured debt It is calculated as unencumbered assets as reported divided by a sum of unsecured bonds and unsecured financial debts as reported. This measure is an additional indicator of a commercial real estate firm’s liquidity and financial flexibility.       Non-financial definitions Definition Company CPI Property Group S.A.
