Revenue from ordinary activities and consolidated result
Revenue from ordinary activities amounted to 107.21 million Euro on 31 December 2019. These mainly include: (a) the revenue earned by the forward sale of the apartments of the residential projects (City Dox, Au Fil des Grands Prés, La Sucrerie and The One) for a total of 29.12 million Euro, (b) the income generated from the sale of the office buildings City Dox B6, Vaci Greens E (in a future state of completion) and BuzzCity (in a future state of completion) for a total of 59.34 million Euro, as well (c) the lease revenues of the Hermès Business Campus (HBC), University Business Center (UBC) and the Nysdam buildings for 15.02 million Euro.
Other operating revenue (€ 45.31 M) mainly included the capital gains earned on the sales of the shares of The One Office SA (office part of The One project) following the revaluation of the effects of the transaction at 31 December 2019 with Deka, and Naos SA (Naos project) according to the delivery of the building to Ethias/Foyer in July 2019 (total of € 37.85 M), as well as the reinvoicing of service charges and miscellaneous costs of the leased buildings (€ 7.45 M).
The operating result was 52.90 million Euro, compared with € 46.04 M in 2018. This was mainly influenced this year by the sale of the various apartments in residential projects as above mentioned (total of € 5.67 M), the results on the disposal of the shares of The One SA and Naos SA (total of € 36.07 M), the sale of office buildings City Dox B6, Vaci Greens E and BuzzCity (total of € 14.18 M), as well as the rental revenue, net of charges, from the HBC, UBC and Nysdam (total of € 13.66 M), decreased by corporate charges.
The net financial result was -9.31 million Euro, compared with -8.61 million Euro in 2018. The increase of net financial charges was mainly due to the increase in ATENOR's average net indebtedness, as well as the reduction of capitalized borrowing costs (IAS23) compared with 2018.
Income taxes: The amount for this item was 5.32 million Euro (compared with € 2.16 M in 2018). This item includes both statutory tax and the deferred tax assets and liabilities linked to the progress of the sale of the aforementioned projects.
Taking the preceding factors into account, the group net result of the financial year was 37.78 million Euro compared with 35.18 million Euro in 2018, an increase of 7.39%.

Consolidated balance sheet
Consolidated shareholder equity was 187.05 million Euro compared with 170.30 million at 31 December 2018, an increase of 22.3% of the total balance.
At 31 December 2019, net consolidated indebtedness was 494.53 million Euro, compared with a net consolidated indebtedness of 333.69 million Euro as at 31 December 2018. In April 2019, we successfully issued a "retail" type bond in two tranches for a total amount of 60 million Euro. In addition, the implementation of several project financing arrangements, as well as the use of existing cash for the development of projects within the portfolio also explain this increase. Consolidated indebtedness consists, on the one hand, of a long-term debt of 364.89 million Euro and, on the other hand, of a short-term debt of 175.09 million Euro. Available cash was 45.45 million Euro compared with 106.59 million Euro at 31 December 2018.
The "buildings held for sale" classified under "Stock" represent the real estate projects in the portfolio and in the course of development. This item was 608.02 million Euro, an increase of 148.82 million Euro in comparison with 31 December 2018 (€ 459.20 million).
This net variation results primarily (a) from the acquisition of the land and buildings of Beaulieu (Brussels), Twist (Belval), Fort7 (Warsaw), Roseville, Bakerstreet (Budapest) and Verde (Lisbon) projects for a total of 112.39 million Euro, (b) from the continuation of the works of the Com'Unity (Paris), City Dox (Brussels), Arena Business Campus, Vaci Greens (Budapest) and Au Fil des Grands Prés (Mons) projects for 76.60 million Euro and (c) from the sale of the buildings B6 of the City Dox, BuzzCity, Vaci Greens E, Au Fil des Grands Prés and La Sucrerie projects, which reduce stock by 64.18 million Euro. The remaining difference is distributed over the other projects in development.

Projects in our portfolio
Over the course of 2019, all of our projects progressed favourably. Following the latest transactions, the portfolio currently includes 28 projects under development with a total of approximately 1,200,000 m².
All acquisitions were made in accordance with our strategy and in line with our criteria of location and profitability, namely.
Close attention is now explicitly focused regularly on the design and implementation of developments, taking particular care to make these projects part of an indisputable logic of sustainability.
This being the case, value created is expressed in ATENOR's accounts in 3 stages: obtaining building permits, leasing and sales.
The following notes focus on these key stages.
Furthermore, the percentages attributable to the regions are based on existing and potential constructible areas.
- BRUSSELS (24.96 % OF THE PORTFOLIO)
THE ONE - European Quarter, rue de la Loi, Brussels (29,500 m² of offices and 9,740 m² of residential)
In a very buoyant Brussels real estate market, the effects of the transaction for the sale of The One completed at the end of 2018 with Deka were revalued in line with market conditions at the end of December 2019. This had a
2
significant contribution to the results for 2019.
Elsewhere, the provisions set aside in 2018 and intended to hedge the risk relating to the cancellation of the RRUZ (and hence to the cancellation of the building permit for The One) were reversed, insofar as the building permit for The One was the subject of a retrofit on 21 October 2019 at the behest of the Administration, thereby confirming its full validity. The new appeal lodged at the end of December 2019 against this permit does not bring any grounds that would call its validity into question.
Finally, the negotiations conducted with the OIB with a view to taking usufruct of the building made real progress in 2019 to arrive at the conclusion of the financial, legal and technical parameters surrounding this usufruct. A contractual commitment requires the formal agreement of the budgetary authorities of the European institutions. These proceedings, which have experienced delays for external reasons, continue.
REALEX [90% ATENOR] - European Quarter, between the rues de la Loi & de Lalaing, Brussels (minimum 58,400 m² of offices)
A new urban permit was submitted on 19 November 2018. The impact study ended in early 2020.
In one of its variants, the impact study analyses the consequences of installing a 26,000 m² conference centre in place of part of the offices. This possibility could become a reality depending on how the discussions progress with the OIB in the context of a competitive dialogue on the acquisition of a conference centre replacing the current Borschette. During 2019, discussions have developed positively, although it is not yet possible to announce the nature and timing of an agreement.
CITY DOX - Canal area, quai de Biestebroeck, Anderlecht (approx. 120,000 m² mixed)
The construction and marketing of phase 2 (including 181 residential units of which 99 of City.dev) progressed in a very satisfactory manner during the year. With regard to phase 3, an initial permit application specifically for 171 residential units will be submitted in the first half of 2020, following the architectural competition won by XDGA. A new competition will be launched during the first half of the year for the creation of a school and residential complex.
VICTOR [50% ATENOR] - opposite the south station, Brussels (approximately 94,300 m² mixed)
This project has been reworked to fit into the main lines of the "Midi" PAD project. This appears to be in the process of being finalised and should be made subject to public enquiry soon. The Victor project includes over a hundred affordable, passive apartments and 72,500 m² offices, ideally located.
CCN [33% ATENOR] - Schaerbeek and St Josse districts, next to the Gare du Nord (± 130,000 m² mixed)
The Belgian-French association "Architectes Associés-Multipke-TDK" selected by the partnership after a competition is conducting studies in order to be able to lodge a planning application for the whole of the site during the course of 2020. All of the parties involved, regional and municipal authorities, as well as the public transport companies are being consulted and involved in the town-planning and architectural process.
BEAULIEU - Avenue Beaulieu, 5 to 11, Auderghem (around 24,500 m² of offices)
ATENOR acquired the 2 buildings that belonged to the "Beaulieu" certificate, located at n°5 to 11 in the avenue of the same name in Auderghem. These buildings, which cover a total area of 24,000 m² date from 1993 and are currently occupied by the European Commission till 31 December 2020. Infamously obsolete, these buildings will be the subject of a detailed study to determine the best economic and environmental alternative with regard to their redevelopment.

3
LE NYSDAM - La Hulpe (15,600 m² Office building)
The commercial repositioning of the building has been completed; it has had an occupancy rate of 100% since December 2019. As announced in the press release of 10 January 2020, the company that owns Nysdam, Hexaten SA, was subject to a sale agreement embodied with usual resolutive conditions. Atenor had to resolve this sale, at the beginning of March. This resolution did not, however, have any negative impact on the 2019 and 2020 results. Atenor therefore continues to earn rental revenue.

Prospects for the year 2020
The prospect of low interest rates being maintained continues to direct funds towards property. Elsewhere, while growth in western Europe has stalled, the countries in central Europe where Atenor holds almost half of its portfolio are recording growth rates in excess of the European average.
It is with this buoyant context that Atenor is focusing all of its efforts on the essential stages of its projects in portfolio
- i.e. obtaining permits, leasing and selling.
The varied maturity of its projects enables Atenor to announce the prospect of growth for its results in the years ahead, based on the geographical and operational diversification of its sources of revenue.
The strategy of international growth will continue while ensuring the balance sheet is kept in equilibrium.

- The Group detains Hungarian, Romanian and Polish subsidiaries that opted for the local currency as their operating currency in each of the countries. The negative conversion differences recorded for the period in equity were mainly due to the downturn in the HUF and the RON during the year (-4.25 million euros).

SELECTIVE NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON 31.12.2019
Note 1. Corporate information
The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2019 including the annual report including all financial statements and attached notes were adopted by the Board of Directors on 5 March 2020.
Note 2. Principal accounting methods 1. Basisfor preparation
The consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2019 were drawn up in accordance with the IFRS standards as adopted in the European Union.
2. Consolidation principlesandsignificant accounting principles
The valuation rules adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial situation as at 31 December 2019 have not been modified from the rules followed for the preparation of the annual report as at 31 December 2018, except for the possible adaptations made necessary by the entry into force of IFRS standards and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2019.
Standards and interpretations became effective on a mandatory basis in 2018 in the European Union
- IFRS 16 - Leases
- IFRIC 23 - Uncertainly over Income Tax Treatments
- Amendments to IAS 19 - Plan amendment, Curtailment of Settlement
- Amendments to IAS 28 - Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
- Amendments to IFRS 9- Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation
- Annual improvements to IFRS 2015-2017 Cycle: Amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 28
These amendments and new interpretations have no significant impact on the presentation, disclosure requirements or the consolidated financial performance and / or situation of ATENOR.
We would remind you that ATENOR has been applying IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) since 1 January 2018 according to the simplified retrospective method. In application of this method, the comparative periods have not been restated and the impact relating to the change of the evaluation rule has been directly recorded in the opening equity (see the 2018 Consolidated state of equity variations). This impact stood at 1 million euros net of tax.
The table below details per item the IFRS 15 transition and the recognition in the result in 2019 linked to the change in method:
In thousands of EUR | Equity | Result recognition | ||
01.01.2018 | 2018 | 2019 | Total | |
Turnover | -1.410 | 1.263 | 147 | 1.410 |
Cost price | -12 | 78 | -66 | 12 |
Gross result | -1.422 | 1.341 | 81 | 1.422 |
Tax - 29.58% | 421 | -397 | -24 | -421 |
Net impact | -1.001 | 944 | 57 | 1.001 |
ATENOR has applied IFRS 16 (lease contracts) since 1 January 2019 according to the simplified retrospective method. In application of this method, the impact on the balance sheet and the results account is calculated as if the lease effectively took effect on 1 January 2019 without restatement of the comparative accounts of the previous years and without any impact on opening equity.
In accordance with IFRS 16, ATENOR does not apply the new standard to lease contracts concerning intangible fixed assets and has chosen not to apply the new accounting model to lease contracts of less than one year's duration (renewal options included), nor to contracts concerning new assets with a low unit value (exemption threshold 5,000 USD).
Furthermore, ATENOR applies the transitory simplification measures authorised by IFRS 16 whose principle is the booking of lease contracts that ended in the 12 months following the initial application date, as if they were short- term lease contracts.
For ATENOR, as lessor, there is no impact.
See notes 5 and 10

New or amended standards and interpretations that came into effect after 31 December 2019
- Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8 - Definition of Material (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2020).
- Amendment to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, but not yet endorsed in the EU).
- Amendements to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, but not yet endorsed in the EU).
- Amendments to references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, but not yet endorsed in the EU).
- IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, but not yet endorsed in the EU).
ATENOR did not apply early adoption of these new or amended standards and interpretations.
Note 3. Seasonal information
The lifecycle of the real estate projects of ATENOR can be summarised in three major phases: the land purchase phase, the project development and construction phase, and the marketing and sales phase. The length and process of these phases are neither similar nor comparable from one project to another.
Follow-up and compliance with the planning of each of these projects are assured by the implementation of a regular communication system. Internal control is provided by:
- an executive committee that meets monthly for each of the projects and which is formalised by minutes. As soon as a project reaches the construction phase, a monthly progress meeting is held with:
- the external specialists to ensure that the agreed deadlines are complied with and
- the General Contractor in charge of construction.
This communication system allows ATENOR to determine, monitor and resolve all potential operational risks well in advance.

In April 2019, ATENOR issued two retail-type bond tranches of € 20 M (3.00% - maturity 2023) and € 40 M (3.50% - maturity 2025) respectively. These bonds are listed on Euronext Brussels.
ATENOR also contracted financings for € 22 M and € 18.9 M within the framework of its UBC (Warsaw) and Beaulieu (Brussels) projects, as well as two corporate finance arrangements of € 22.10 M, including € 7.1 M from the subsidiary Atenor Long Term Growth.
Two property leasing contracts are affected by IFRS 16. In application of the simplified retrospective method, the initial rental debts were calculated as if the contracts had started on 1st January 2019, by updating the future payments of the leases to the rate of 2.33%.
This updated value is €1.15 M on 1st January 2019. The reimbursements of the period come to 173 thousand euros. The interest of the period comes to 27 thousand euros.

Segment information is prepared, both for internal reporting and external disclosure, on a single sector of activity, i.e. real-estate development projects (office and residential buildings, the retail activity being accessory to the first two mentioned). This activity is presented, managed and monitored on a project-by-project basis. The various project committees, the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for monitoring the various projects and assessing their performances.
However, based on the location of the projects, two geographical segments are henceforth identifiable: on the one hand there is western Europe, covering Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, France, Germany and also Portugal and, on the other hand, there is Central Europe, covering Poland, Hungary and Romania.
Taken at 31 December 2019, this segmentation illustrates the contribution to the results of the projects in western Europe.
The ATENOR activity report provides more detailed information about the results and purchases and sales during the period reviewed.

Furthermore, on 31 December 2019, ATENOR was not confronted with any litigation.
Note 16. Events after the closing date
- As stated in the releases published at the beginning of 2020, ATENOR signed agreements for the respective sale of office buildings O1 and P in the Au Fil des Grands Prés project in Mons, to the National Employment Office (ONEM), on the one hand, and to the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (FWB), on the other. These two sales in a future state of completion will have a favourable impact on the results of ATENOR in 2020 and 2021.
- On 31 January 2020, the DACIA ONE office project was granted its final construction permit. Over time, these new, ultramodern office spaces will be leased to ING Tech.
- As mentioned above, ATENOR had to resolve the sale of the Hexaten SA company, the owner of the Nysdam building, without any negative impact on the 2019 and 2020 results. ATENOR therefore continues to benefit from the rental revenues.
- The Coronavirus pandemic currently spreading across the world may have an effect on the global economy, causing a slowdown in a number of sectors. In all likelihood, this will include real estate. At this stage, we cannot see any direct impact on the ATENOR's business; however, we remain alert regarding the possible consequences of what is happening and we have confidence in the resilience of the portfolio due to its diversification.
-
On 6 March 2020, ATENOR issued a stock option plan (SOP 2020) for the subsidiary named Atenor Long Term Growth (ALTG).
