Leasinvest Real Estate - Interim statement of the manager over the first quarter of the financial year 2015 (01/01/15-31/03/15) and report of the ordinary general meeting held on 18 May 2015

Lettings

In the first quarter of 2015 an additional services contract was concluded for the building The Crescent in Anderlecht, which makes that the occupancy rate has risen in the meanwhile to 90%. By the higher number of users of the services offered (catering, fitness, meeting rooms) this results in an even higher financial occupancy rate.

As already announced in the press release dated 13/02/2015 with regard to the annual results 2014, the building Square de Meeûs located in the central business district of Brussels became vacant. Leasinvest uses this opportunity to entirely rebuild this building of 5,500 m² as a Triple-A building that will respond to the highest quality standards with regard to sustainability and technology. This building, with its unique location in the center of the European District, will be positioned in the market in 2017 whereby the offer of new buildings will be limited.

For the building Monnet in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, that is currently undergoing a profound renovation, the prospects for entirely letting this building by the end of 2015 are very real. One floor of this building is already temporarily leased to China Merchants Bank, the future tenant of the office project R20 located boulevard Royal in the city of Luxembourg, of which the final completion is expected in the course of the second quarter of 2016.

(1) The net current result consists of the net result excluding the portfolio result and the changes in fair value of the ineffective hedges.

3. Consolidated results period 01/01/15- 31/03/15

The first quarter of 2015 is in line with expectations for Leasinvest Real Estate.

The rental income is nearly identical to that of the same period of last year and amounts to € 12,610 thousand at the end of March 2015 in comparison with € 12,523 thousand end March 2014. At constant portfolio the rental income decreases by 0.7% or € 334 thousand in comparison with the same period last year (excl. rental rebates). This decrease is explained by the temporary vacancy in the Monnet building, currently under renovation.

The gross rental yields have slightly increased in comparison with end 2014 and stand at 7.30% (end 2014: 7.23%) based on the fair value and at 7.17% (end 2014: 7.10%) based on the investment value. The occupancy rate amounts to 98.35% (end 2014: 96.24%), an increase explained by the sale of Kiem and the higher occupancy of The Crescent, currently reaching 90%. The calculation of the occupancy rate does not comprise the current projects, i.e. Royal 20 and Monnet.

The fair value^[2] of the direct real estate portfolio is quasi identical and stands at € 758.1 million end March 2015 compared to € 756.3 million end December 2014.

The net current result^[3] of the first quarter amounts to € 5.6 million (or € 1.13 per share), in comparison with the net current result of € 5.9 million (or € 1.19 per share) end March 2014. This slight decrease is mainly the consequence of higher property charges (technical costs) in comparison with the same period last year.

The net result, group share amounts to € 3.6 million end March 2015 compared to € 7.5 million end March 2014. In terms of net result per share this results in € 0.73 end March 2015 in comparison with € 1.52 end March 2014. The decrease is explained by a diminution of the real estate portfolio (before the effect of exchange rate differences) by
- € 3.8 million in comparison with the same period last year, when the portfolio result was positively influenced for nearly € 2 million by the divestments.

The financial result amounts to - € 9.7 million end March 2015 in comparison with - € 3.9 million for the same period last year. This evolution is explained by the negative evolution of the fair value of the assets and liabilities following the evolution of the Swiss Franc (- € 5.9 million). This effect is integrally compensated by a positive translation difference on the buildings in Switzerland of € 5.8 million, presented under 'result on the portfolio', resulting in the fact that the impact on the net result and the net current result is nil.

The average funding cost decreased end March 2015 and stands at 3.47% compared to 3.63% end 2014.

At the end of the first quarter of the financial year 2015 shareholders' equity, group share (based on the fair value of the investment properties) amounts to € 343.8 million (2014: € 336.4 million).

End March 2015 the net asset value per share stood at € 69.6 (31/12/14: € 68.1) and the closing price of the Leasinvest Real Estate share amounted to € 93.94, or 35% higher than the net asset value. The net asset value per share excl. the influence of fair value adjustments on financial instruments (EPRA) also rises and amounts to € 78.8 end March 2015 in comparison with € 75.5 end 2014.

End March 2015 the debt ratio stands at 52.92% in comparison with 54.27% end 2014.

4. Outlook

Except for extraordinary circumstances and new investments, the company expects to realize a lower net result and net current result in 2015 than in 2014 due to the influence on the evolution of the rents of the planned redevelopments Monnet and Square de Meeûs. Notwithstanding this evolution, the company expects to maintain the dividend over 2015 at minimum the same level.
