Press Release
Luxembourg, 22 May 2019
CPI PROPERTY GROUP reports financial results for the first quarter of 2019
CPI PROPERTY GROUP (hereinafter "CPIPG" the "Company" or together with its
subsidiaries the "Group"), the largest owner of income-generating real
estate in the Czech Republic, Berlin and the CEE region, hereby publishes
its financial results for the first quarter of 2019.
"In the first quarter of 2019, CPIPG continued our strong trajectory," said
Martin Nemecek, CEO of CPIPG. "Income and profitability are rising, and our
capital structure is extremely strong."
Key highlights for the first quarter of 2019, plus recent events, include:
* Total assets of EUR8.7 billion at the end of Q1, an increase of EUR0.5
billion from the end of 2018, primarily driven by an increase in cash
and cash equivalents.
* Total revenues in Q1 of EUR163 million (up 12% versus Q1 2018),
reflecting the combined effects of acquisitions in 2018 and 2019 and
3.2% like-for-like growth in rental income.
* Group occupancy increased to 94.7% in Q1, versus 94.5% at year-end.
* Funds from operations increased to EUR50 million for the quarter (up 8%
versus Q1 2018).
* EPRA NAV remained unchanged at EUR4.5 billion.
* Net Interest Coverage Ratio increased to 7.7x for Q1 2019 (compared to
4.2x for 2018), reflecting the Group's successful refinancing activities
during 2017 and 2018.
* Net Loan to Value (LTV) increased slightly from 36.7% at year-end to
37.4%.
* Unencumbered assets as a percentage of total assets rose to 67%, versus
65% at the end of 2018.
* Secured debt was reduced to 32% of total debt, relative to 37% at the
end of 2018.
* Issuance of HKD 450 million (approximately EUR50 million) of senior
bonds under the Group's EMTN programme in February 2019.
* Issuance of USD 350 million (approximately EUR312 million) of senior
bonds under the Group's EMTN programme in March 2019.
* Issuance of senior unsecured Schuldschein (assignable loans) totaling
EUR170 million in March 2019.
* New 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility of EUR510 million signed
in March 2019 with 11 regional and international banks.
* Total available liquidity at the end of Q1 of about EUR1 billion,
currently exceeds EUR1.5 billion following the issuance of hybrid bonds
in April 2019.
* The Group's EMTN programme was increased to EUR5 billion in April 2019.
"Once again, our teams delivered excellent results for the Group," said
David Greenbaum, CFO of CPIPG. "We remain focused on creating long-term
sustainable value for all our stakeholders, and will continue investing in
our portfolio throughout 2019."
U.S. Litigation
On 10 April 2019, a group of Kingstown companies, Investhold LTD and Verali
Limited (together, the Kingstown Plaintiffs) filed a claim in the United
States District Court of the Southern District of New York against, among
others, CPIPG and Mr Radovan Vitek. The claims brought by the Kingstown
Plaintiffs against CPIPG include alleged violations of RICO. CPIPG believes
that the claims are without merit, and were designed to create negative
press attention for CPIPG and force an undue settlement. CPIPG intends to
vigorously contest the claims and has retained an international law firm,
Hogan Lovells, with an experienced team of litigators and significant
experience in RICO cases. At this time, CPIPG has no further comments on
developments in the case, aside from the Group's previously published
statements.

* In connection with the adoption of IFRS 15, the Group changed, in respect
of service charges, revenue recognition from net to gross, before deduction
of cost of services (refer to the annual management report for 2018 for
further detail). The presentation of the statement of profit or loss for the
three months period of 2018 was adjusted due to the changes in the
accounting policy as follows:
31 March Effect of IFRS 15 31 March 2018
2018 adoption Adjusted
Gross rental income 73 - 73
Net service revenue 7 (7) -

** To provide reliable and more relevant information, the Group reclassified
(firstly as at 31-Dec-2018) the following items, which are no longer
presented separately, in the consolidated financial statements:
* Cost of goods sold related to Development sales and Other business were
reclassified to Development operating expenses and Other business
operating expenses. Comparative information of EUR 7 million and EUR 1
million as at 31 March 2018 was adjusted accordingly.
*** The Group reclassified effect of changing foreign exchange rates on the
revaluation of the investment properties from the Other net financial result
to the Net valuation gain or loss. Management finds the adjusted
presentation reliable and more relevant, because the effect is already
included in determination of the fair value of the relevant investment
properties by the Group's subsidiaries.
Comparative information as of 31 March 2018 was adjusted accordingly. The
change in the accounting policy had no impact on the statement of financial
position, the impact on the statement of comprehensive income is presented
in the table below:

Net rental income
Net rental income increased by 10% to EUR73 million compared to EUR67
million in Q1 2018, driven primarily by an increase in gross rental income
reflecting 2018's acquisitions of Futurum Hradec Králové shopping centre
(net increase of EUR2 million) and Atrium office complex in Poland (net
increase of EUR1.6 million). The better performance of our Berlin portfolio
(net increase of EUR2.2 million) contributed to the overall increase in net
rental income.
Net development income
Development sales in Q1 2019 were represented by sales of apartments in Nice
(revenue of EUR11.6 million) and sales of family houses in Bezinves
(revenue of EUR3.3 million).
Net valuation gain / (loss)
Valuation gain in Q1 2019 relates mainly to an FX gain on our property
portfolio.
Amortization, depreciation and impairments
The increase in amortization, depreciation and impairments in Q1 2019 was
affected by the write-off of goodwill (EUR7 million), which was recognized
in 2014 in connection with the acquisition of the Group's agriculture
business.
Interest expense
Interest expense was EUR12 million in Q1 2019 compared to EUR23 million in
Q1 2018. Interest expense dropped due to the substantial change in the
Group's financing structure, resulting into a significant decrease in
interest expense from bank loans (net decrease of EUR4.7 million) and bonds
(net decrease of EUR5.4 million).
Other net financial result
Other net financial result in Q1 2019 was adversly affected by foreign
exchange losses of EUR14 million.

Total assets
Total assets increased by EUR460 million (6%) to EUR8,719 million as at 31
March 2019. The predominant driver of this growth was the increase in cash
and cash equivalents by EUR365 million.
Increase in investment property by EUR29 million reflects primarily capex
and development costs incurred in Q1 2019. Due to the acquisition of Orchard
hotel in Ostrava the Group's property portfolio rose by of EUR11 million.
Total liabilities
Non-current and current liabilities totalled EUR4,335 million as at 31 March
2019, an increase of EUR438 million (11.2%) compared to 31 December 2018.
During the first quarter, the Group raised USD bonds (EUR312 million), HKD
bonds (EUR50 million), and Schuldschein (EUR170 million). The Group also
signed a new secured bank loan of EUR170 million from Unicredit Bank AG and
repaid loans totaling EUR102 million.
NAV AND EPRA NAV
Total equity increased from EUR4,362 million as at 31 December 2018 to
EUR4,384 million as at 31 March 2019. The main elements impacting equity
were:
* an increase in equity due to profit for three months of 2019 in the
amount of EUR29 million;
* a decrease by EUR12 million due to a shift in hedging and translation
reserves;
* an increase by EUR5 million due to the change in revaluation reserve.
EPRA NAV was EUR4,494 million as at 31 March 2019, an increase of 0.3%
relative to 31 March 2018. The main positive effect was the positive equity
elements described above.
