1.2. The impact of the Covid-19virus and Russia and Ukraine Conflict on the group's activities

  1. The Covid- 19 Virus- At the beginning of 2020, the Covid-19 virus spread to many countries across the globe, including those where the Company holds commercial assets, and the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. Many countries dealt with rapid outbreak of the virus in various ways, mainly by imposing a partial or complete lockdown on the population. The directive of the governments in those countries, together with the response of the capital, oil, interest and foreign currency markets to such extreme uncertainty led to extreme uncertainty that brought about a global economic crisis. During the first quarter of 2022, there was a sharp increase in the incidence of morbidity in Corona, but in light of the high immunization rates and the improvement in the ability to cope with the epidemic, their impact on economic activity in the economy was more moderate. In addition, at the end of the first quarter of 2022 and thereafter, there was a significant decrease in the volume of morbidity, although during the second quarter of the year there was a certain increase in the volume of morbidity, though it seems its effect on the population decreased significantly and throughout the entire period of the report and as of the date of publication of the report all the Group's compounds in the world open to full trade, without significant restrictions. A renewed aggravation of the extent of the disease, however it may be, may adversely affect the Group's operations and its business and financial condition. For further details regarding the impact of the epidemic on the Group's activities, see section 1.2 of the Company's Board of Directors' Report for 2021.
  2. The Russia and Ukraine conflict- Starting February 2022, fighting is taking place between the Russian and Ukrainian armies. As part of this, Western countries banded together and imposed a series of different financial and economic sanctions on Russia and Belarus, as well as on Russian companies, individuals and businessmen. These new sanctions join international sanctions that were already in force, but currently it is characterized by a substantial, almost unprecedented aggravation, creating a new economic, commercial and political reality in Europe.
    As part of this, sanctions were imposed on trade with Russia, restrictions on the financial system in Russia, including disconnection of Russian banks from the clearing system (Swift) and a ban on transactions with the Central Bank of Russia (CBR), restrictions on technology exports to Russia and transportation restrictions, including "Closing the sky" in Europe to the Russian national airline. At the same time, many private entities (including banks and credit card companies) have announced the severance or termination of commercial relations with entities in Russia and Belarus. The Russian government also imposed various restrictions on capital movements from Russia (including restrictions on dividend distribution, a ban on repaying foreign currency debt). Further sanctions may be imposed in the future. There is also a concern the war will lead to the involvement of other countries.
    The Group has properties in Russia, held through G Europe, amounting EUR 305 million (2.7% of the Company's total properties) which in 2021 and during the reporting period, generated NOI amounting EUR 28.4 million and EUR 23.3 million, respectively. Russia's occupancy as the reporting date was 91.8% and the collections for the reporting date was 95.0%. During the reporting period, G Europe's activity in Russia were marginally impacted.

G Europe has performed a full external valuation of its income producing assets in Russia as of March 31 2022 and as of June 30 2022, which resulted in an increase of EUR 21.1 million in the reporting period. Due to the Russia- Ukraine conflict and impact of sanctions, a high degree of judgment has been applied in determining the estimated cash flows used in Russia. The fair value as detriment by external, independent real estate valuation expert as of March 31 2022 and as of June 30 2022, have used all available information from reliable sources in developing appropriate assumptions to determine the fair value of investment properties. Also, based on stable operating results of G Europe in Russia during the quarter, there was no change in Russia's property value.

Nevertheless, in the Company's view, in the event the war between Russia and Ukraine continues and economic sanctions continue, even worsen, as described above, they are highly likely to adversely affect the value of the Group's assets in Russia (including due to the increase in the interest rate), as well as G Europe's ability to transfer receipts outside Russia. In addition, the sanctions imposed on Russia, could lead to an economic crisis in Russia, and adversely affect the rate of revenue in assets, and accordingly the expected revenues from them.

DIRECTORS' REPORT ON THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS

The Company's estimates regarding the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic and global economic crisis on between Russia-Ukraine conflict on its business, revenue, profits and financial position are forward- looking information, as defined in the Israel Securities Law, 1968. These estimates are based on assumptions and assessments of the Company and the Group companies, but they are uncertain, may not materialize and are largely beyond the Company's control. If the global economic crisis continues and even worsens, and if the Covid-19 pandemic or new variants of the virus occur, and/or the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the effect of the sanctions should worsen, there could be a significant deterioration in the Group's actual business and financial results.

For details regarding macroeconomic changes in territories where the company operates, primarily high inflation rates and increases in interest rates, and their impact on the company, refer to section 3.1 (2) below.
