Fondijuhi, Viljar Arakas'e kommentaar

2021. aasta  kujunes  EfTEN  Real  Estate  Fund  III  AS-le üle ootuste edukaks.
Hoolimata  kahest aasta jooksul aset leidnud koroonaviiruse lainest, suutsime me
kasvatada nii üüritulu kui ka EBITDA'd igas ärikinnisvara segmendis ning seda ka
ilma  uute ärihoonete tulusid arvestamata.  Portfelli äripindade vakantsus püsis
rekordmadalal  tasemel,  alla  1%. Kinnisvarahinnangute  ümberhindlus tõi 2021.
aasta  peale  kokku  ühekordset  lisakasumit  6,4 miljonit  eurot ning portfelli
võimendamata esmane puhastootlus oli aastalõpu seisuga 7,1 %. Fond teenis 2021.
aastal  vaba  rahavoogu  kokku  4,55 miljonit  eurot,  millest  vastavalt  fondi
dividendipoliitikale oleks brutodividendid 3,64 miljonit eurot. Arvestades fondi
tütarettevõtete  laenu eritingimustest tulenevat  minimaalse raha jäägi hoidmise
kohustust  ning  lühiajalist  likviidsusvajadust  teeb  fondi  juhatus nõukogule
ettepaneku  maksta  dividende  rohkem  kui  dividendipoliitika ette näeb - kokku
4,06 miljonit eurot (80 senti aktsia kohta). Dividendimaksed 2022. aasta kevadel
eeldavad nii pankadelt nõusoleku saamist kui ka üldkoosoleku heakskiitu.

Seisuga  31.12.2021 on  fondil  5,9 miljonit  eurot  investeerimata omakapitali,
mille   turvaline  investeerimine  on  fondi  juhtkonna  prioriteet.  Arvestades
asjaolu,  et  Balti  ärikinnisvaraturu  tehingute  tootluse  tase  on  viimastel
aastatel  järjest langenud, ei  plaani fondi juhtkond  antud olukorda arvestades
korraldada   alanud   majandusaasta   jooksul   uut   aktsiate   lisaemissiooni.
Investoritele,  kes  soovivad  jätkuvalt  paigutada  inflatsiooni  kaitseks  uut
kapitali  kinnisvaraturule, saab fondivalitseja pakkuda kaalumiseks EfTEN United
Porperty  Fund'i, mis ei investeeri  ainult ärikinnisvarasse, vaid kinnisvarasse
laiemalt ning mis on avatud kõikidele jaeinvestoritele.

Finantsülevaade

Detsembris  teenis EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS konsolideeritud müügitulu kokku
1 233 tuhat  eurot,  mis  on  7,7% rohkem  kui  novembris.  Müügitulu  kasv tuli
peamiselt  Saules Miestase kaubanduskeskuse käibeüüridest. Fondi konsolideeritud
EBITDA  oli detsembris kokku 418 tuhat  eurot, mis on peamiselt fondivalitsejale
2021. aasta  börsi sulgemishinnalt arvestatud   edukustasu tõttu 527 tuhat eurot
madalam kui novembris.

Fondi  sõltumatu kinnisvarahindaja  Colliers International  viis detsembris läbi
kinnisvarainvesteeringute    hindamise,    mille    tulemusel    tõusis    fondi
kinnisvaraportfelli      väärtus      2,8% (4     423 tuhat     eurot).     Tänu
kinnisvarainvesteeringute  ümberhindluse  kasumile  oli  detsembris tavapärasest
kõrgem  ka fondi puhaskasum, ulatudes  3 924 tuhande euroni (novembris oli fondi
puhaskasum  707 tuhat  eurot).  Fondi  kinnisvaraportfelli  väärtus  tõusis  nii
väljumistootlikkuse   määrade  alandamise  keskmiselt  7,6%-lt  7,3%-ni  kui  ka
optimistlikuma NOI (renditegevuse puhas äritulu) ootuste tulemusel.

Selle  aasta 12 kuu jooksul on fond auditeerimata andmetel teeninud 12,9 miljoni
euro  (20,9% rohkem kui eelmisel aastal) suuruse müügitulu juures 10,14 miljonit
eurot   (18,5%   rohkem   kui   eelmisel  aastal)  EBITDA-d.  Fondi  2021. aasta
auditeerimata  konsolideeritud  puhaskasum  on  13,1 miljonit  eurot (2020: 3,3
miljonit eurot).

EfTEN  Real  Estate  Fund  III  AS-i  konsolideeritud omakapital oli 31.12.2021
seisuga 96,914 miljonit eurot (31.12.2020: 71,483 miljonit eurot).

of  31 December 2021, increasing by 4.2% during December. The net asset value of
the  EPRA share (net book value excluding  the deferred income tax liability and

Commentary by the fund manager, Viljar Arakas

The  year 2021 was more successful than expected  for EfTEN Real Estate Fund III
AS.  Despite the  two waves  of the  coronavirus, we  were able to increase both
rental income and EBITDA in each segment of commercial real estate, even without
considering  the revenue  from new  investments. The  vacancy rate of commercial
premises  in the  portfolio remained  at a  record low  level, less than 1%. The
revaluation  of investment  properties valuation  brought a  one-time additional
profit  of 6.4 million euros  during 2021, and the  unleveraged initial yield of
the  portfolio was 7.1%. In 2021, the fund  earned a total of 4.55 million euros
in  free cash  flow, of  which, according  to the  Fund's dividend policy, gross
dividends  would be  3.64 million euros.  Taking into  account the obligation to
maintain  a minimum  cash balance  arising from  the special  loan terms  of the
fund's  subsidiaries and the  short-term liquidity needs,  the Fund's Management
Board  proposes to pay more  dividends than required by  the dividend policy - a
total  of  4.06 million  euros  (80  cents  per share). Dividend payments in the
spring  of 2022 require both the  approval of the banks  and the approval of the
general meeting.

As  of 31.12.2021, the fund has 5.9 million euros of uninvested equity, the safe
investment  of which  is a  priority for  the fund's management. Considering the
fact  that the  level of  yields on  transactions in  the Baltic commercial real
estate market has been steadily declining in recent years, the fund's management
does  not plan to organize a new  share issue during the current financial year,
given  the current situation. For investors who would like to continue to invest
in  the real estate market to  protect against inflation, the Management Company
may  offer to  consider EfTEN  United Porperty  Fund, which  invests not only in
commercial  real estate but also in real estate  more broadly and is open to all
retail investors.

Financial overview

In  December, the consolidated  sales revenue of  EfTEN Real Estate  Fund III AS
earned a total of 1,233 thousand euros, which is 7.7% more than in November. The
increase  in sales  revenue came  mainly from  the turnover  rents of the Saules
Miestas  shopping center. The  consolidated EBITDA of  the fund was 418 thousand
euros  in December, which  is 527 thousand euros  lower than in November, mainly
due  to the success fee  calculated for the management  company from the closing
price of the stock exchange in 2021.

In December, Colliers International, an independent real estate appraiser of the
Fund,  conducted a valuation of investment properties, which increased the value
of  the Fund's real estate portfolio by  2.8% (4,423 thousand euros). Due to the
revaluation gain on investment properties, the fund's net profit was also higher
than usual in December, reaching 3,924 thousand euros (the fund's net profit was
707 thousand  euros in November). The value  of the fund's real estate portfolio
increased both from a change in exit yield in average from 7.6% to 7.3% and more
optimistic NOI (net operating income from rental operations) expectations.

During  the 12 months of this year, the  fund has earned EBITDA of 10.14 million
euros  (18.5%  more  than  last  year)  with sales revenue of 12.9 million euros
(20.9%  more than last  year). The Fund's  unaudited consolidated net profit for
2021 is 13.1 million euros (2020: 3.3 million euros).

The  consolidated equity  of EfTEN  Real Estate  Fund III  AS was 96.914 million
euros as of 31.12.2021 (31.12.2020: 71.483 million euros).
