Directors' Commentary

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS

The Group achieved 34.76 euro cents in recurring distributable earnings per share for 2015, which combined with the 0.58 euro cents per share non-recurring distributable earnings (which were the result of a financial discount derived from the early repayment of a term loan) represents a 19% improvement in distributable earnings per share compared to 2014. The growth in distributable earnings for 2015 is due to the continuing strong performance of NEPI's assets, the positive impact of acquisitions and developments completed during the year, and the favourable funding arrangement with the minority shareholder of Mega Mall.

FINAL DISTRIBUTION AND OPTION TO RECEIVE CAPITAL RETURN

The Board declares a distribution of 17.17 euro cents per share for the six months ended 31 December 2015, which combined with the distributable earnings for the first half of the financial year, results in a 35.34 euro cents per share distribution for 2015. Shareholders can elect to receive their distribution in cash or by way of an issue of fully paid shares at a ratio between the distribution declared and the reference price. The reference price will be determined using an up to 5% discount to the 5 - day volume weighted average traded price (less distribution) of NEPI shares on the JSE, no later than 1 March 2016.

A circular containing full details of the election being offered to shareholders, accompanied by announcements on the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), the Regulatory News Service (RNS) of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB), will be issued in due course.

HIGHLIGHTS

INVESTMENT GRADE RATINGS AND BOND ISSUE

In October 2015, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) assigned NEPI a first-time BBB- preliminary, long-term corporate credit rating. Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) has upgraded the Company's rating to Baa3, replacing NEPI's 2014 assigned Ba1 rating. Both ratings have a stable outlook.

Subsequent to a roadshow with European fixed-income investors in November 2015, NEPI issued EUR400 million of unsecured, 5.25 year Eurobonds maturing on 26 February 2021, carrying a 3.750% fixed coupon and with an issue price of 99.597%. This represents a milestone for NEPI, as it is the first time the Company has raised material amounts from European investors, enabling it to compete more effectively in the Central and Eastern European real estate markets in the long term. Of the proceeds, approximately EUR212 million refinanced existing debt, while the balance is earmarked for acquisitions and developments.

ACQUISITIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Group completed the acquisition and development of a number of properties during 2015 which are discussed in more detail below. The effective, or opening, date of acquisitions and developments is indicated in parenthesis after the name. All populations are estimates, and all developments and acquisitions are located in Romania unless otherwise specified.

DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

The Group has steadily increased its investment in developments and, during the last five years, completed developments and redevelopments have significantly contributed to the growth in distributable earnings per share. NEPI's development pipeline, including redevelopments and extensions, has increased to EUR601 million (estimated at cost), of which EUR145 million had been spent by 31 December 2015. This represents an increase of

EUR54 million compared with the previous year.

OFFICE DEVELOPMENTS

The Office, Cluj-Napoca - third phase

(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires

February 09, 2016 02:00 ET (07:00 GMT)

Based on the strong demand for quality office space, NEPI will soon commence work on the third phase of The Office, Cluj-Napoca, consisting of 18,500m(2) GLA. The Group estimates that it will be completed during 2017.

Victoriei Office

This development, located in Victoriei Square, adjacent to the Romanian Government building, includes the development of a modern office and the refurbishment of a historical building. This 8,400m(2) GLA landmark office is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2016.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

Non-recoverable tenant income for 2015 amounted to EUR398 thousand, equivalent to 0.26% of annual contractual rental income and expense recoveries. The vacancy level as at 31 December 2015 was 2.9%, without accounting for properties held for sale. The increase in vacancy was compared to the 1.8% reported at the end of 2014 is mostly attributable to the recently completed office development and recent acquisitions.

The Company is actively pursuing investment opportunities in other CEE countries where it currently has no presence and expects to enter new markets in 2016. Although increased competition (arising partly from high liquidity) can be seen across the markets, and yield compression occurred during the past period, NEPI remains well positioned for further expansion, given its established property platform.

CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

As announced on 30 December, 2015, Mr Dewald Joubert has resigned as Non-executive Director. The Board of Directors appointed Mr Robert Reinhardt Emslie as non-executive Director, effective from 4 February, 2016. Mr Emslie is a Chartered Accountant, with significant experience in banking services and property management, and currently holds chairmanship and non-executive directorship positions in various private and listed companies.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND DEBT

Throughout the financial year the Company raised EUR179 million by issuing new ordinary shares.

Following the successful EUR400 million unsecured bond issue completed in November 2015, the Company repaid the EUR143.8 million unsecured, syndicated term loan (contracted earlier in 2015 as a bridge to the bond financing) and EUR68 million of secured debt. The Group improved the funding terms on its most attractive debt facilities, including Aupark Kosice, Aupark Zilina and Floreasca Business Park.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group had EUR330 million in cash and an additional undrawn revolving facility of EUR80 million. NEPI's gearing ratio (interest bearing debt less cash divided by investment property and listed property shares) reached 14.6%, compared to 8% at the end of the previous year, and is expected to increase further, once available cash is spent to finance the acquisitions and development pipeline. Capital commitments for developments and acquisitions in due diligence or at an advanced stage of negotiations exceed EUR300 million.

The average interest rate, including hedging costs, was 3.9% during 2015, down from 5% in 2014, due to contracting new debt at lower rates and decreasing the interest margin on the existing debt. As at 31 December 2015, the Group was fully hedged against interest rate movements, with 41% of the base interest rate (Euribor) being hedged with interest rate caps and 59% with interest rate swaps.

PROSPECTS AND EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Recurring distributable earnings per share for the year 2016 are projected to be approximately 15% higher compared to 2015. Recurring distributable earnings for the first half of 2016 are expected to be approximately 5% higher compared to the respective period of 2015 due to changes in funding arrangements and timing of completion of developments and acquisitions planned for the first part of 2016. The earnings guidance is based on the assumption that a stable macroeconomic environment prevails, no major corporate failures occur, planned developments remain on schedule, and is sensitive to the impact of the acquisitions currently in the pipeline. This forecast has not been audited or reviewed by NEPI's auditors and is the responsibility of the Board.

By order of the Board of Directors,

   Alexandru Morar                                                       Mirela Covasa

BASIS OF PREPARATION - MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS

The management accounts presented constitute pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Limited Listing Requirements.

As the Group is focusing on being consistent on those areas of reporting that are seen to be of most relevance to investors and on providing a meaningful basis of comparison for users of the financial information, it has prepared unaudited management accounts. The main difference between the management accounts and the condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS is that the management accounts are prepared using the proportionate consolidation method for investments in joint ventures, which is not in accordance with IFRS (consistent with financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS reported before 1 January 2013), while the IFRS statements use the equity method for accounting for these investments (following the adoption of IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements' effective 1 January 2013).

The management accounts have been prepared by and are the responsibility of the Directors of NEPI. Due to their nature, the management accounts may not fairly reflect the financial position and results of the Group after the differences set out above. The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent to 31 December 2015 that require any additional disclosure or adjustment to the reviewed condensed consolidated financial results.

In relation to management accounts included in this preliminary report, a reporting accountant's report is required by JSE Limited and will be available for inspection at the Company's registered office. Furthermore, any reference to future financial performance included in this preliminary report has not been reviewed or reported on by the group's external auditors. The auditor's review report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in this announcement/financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor's review report together with the accompanying financial information from the Company's registered office. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the preliminary report.
