Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited

("Globalworth" or the "Company")

Condensed Unaudited Financial Results for the year ended 31 December 2021

Globalworth, the leading office investor in Central and Eastern Europe, announces the release of its Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The Company intends to announce its audited Financial Results for the year ended 31 December 2021 and publish its 2021 Annual Report towards the end of March 2022.

The Company will continue to report under International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS"), as it has done since incorporation. As such, the condensed Unaudited Financial Results have been prepared under EU IFRS, as will the audited Financial Results for the year ended 31 December 2021 in due course.

Key Highlights for the year ended 31 December 2021

   --      Total combined portfolio value up by 3.9% to EUR3.2 billion. 
   --      Focused development program in select high-quality projects. 

o Romania; delivered a class "A" office comprising 29.2k sqm of GLA, with 5 logistics facilities under development which are expected to have a total GLA of 98.9k sqm

o Poland; two mixed-use properties under refurbishment/repositioning.

-- Acquired two high-quality logistics facilities in Romania, with a total area of 27.0k sqm, for EUR17.9 million.

-- Overall standing portfolio net increase of 2.4% to 1.3m sqm of GLA in 66 standing buildings.

-- Leasing transactions of 285.5k sqm of commercial space at an average WALL of 4.6 years, registering our second highest yearly volume to date.

-- Average standing occupancy of 88.5% (88.7% including tenant options), lower by 2.3% compared to 31 December 2020.

-- Total annualised contracted rent up by 0.2% to EUR183.7m, of which 91.4% from office and industrial properties.

   --      Rate of collections invoiced and due remained high at 99.0% for 2021. 
   --      Net Operating Income was lower by 8.3% compared to 2020 at EUR144.3 million. 

-- EPRA earnings decreased by 28.2% to EUR59.1 million (2020: EUR82.3 million), partially impacted by the exceptional one-off costs associated with the cash offer for Globalworth's shares initiated in May 2021.

-- Adjusted normalised EBITDA decreased by 8.1% to EUR130.2 million (2020: EUR141.6 million), due to lower NOI, as offset by the positive impact of the EUR1.6 million (10.2% lower compared to 2020) savings in recurring administrative expenses(1) .

-- Net profit significantly improved to EUR47.5 million (2020: net loss of EUR46.8 million) due to marginal revaluation losses of EUR5.7 million in 2021 compared to the EUR116.2 million revaluation losses in 2020.

   --      Cash dividend paid to shareholders of EUR0.30 per share in 2021. 

-- Preliminary EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV) of EUR1.9 billion, or EUR8.66 per share, a marginal decrease from EUR8.68 at 31 December 2020 mainly due to dividends paid, lower operating performance and non-recurring costs, offsetting the positive impact of lower revaluation losses (by EUR110.4 million compared to 2020).

-- High liquidity of EUR418.7 million (vs EUR527.8 million at 2020 year-end) plus EUR215 million in undrawn RCF facility, and an LTV at 40.1% at 31 December 2021 (vs 37.8% at 2020 year-end).

-- Maintained investment grade rating by all three major rating agencies, improving our outlook to "Stable" (from "Negative) by Moody's.

   --      Sustainability: 

o EUR2.7 million in 55 green certified properties

o Several green initiatives completed or in progress to improve our footprint.

o Issued the third sustainable development report and our inaugural Green Bond Report.

o Maintained low-risk rating by Sustainalitics and improved our MSCI rating to "A".

o Contributed EUR1.0 million to support 18 initiatives in Romania and Poland.

-- The consortium of CPI Property Group and Aroundtown became the controlling shareholders of Globalworth with 60.6% of the share capital.

(1) Recurring administrative expenses for 2021 exclude EUR11.5 million exceptional and non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the cash offer for Globalworth shares, made by CPI Property Group S.A. and Aroundtown SA (through Zakiono Enterprises Limited) in May 2021 (non-recurring expenses for 2020: EUR2.3 million).
