EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS 2021. aasta 4 kvartali ja 12 kuu auditeerimata majandustulemused

Message

Fondijuhi kommentaar 2021. aasta majandustulemuste kohta

2021. aasta  kujunes  EfTEN  Real  Estate  Fund  III  AS-le üle ootuste edukaks.
Hoolimata  kahest aasta  jooksul aset  leidnud koroonaviiruse  lainest, kasvatas
kontsern  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 kasumit 6,4 miljonit eurot ning portfelli võimendamata esmane
puhastootlus   oli  aasta  lõpu  seisuga  7,1%. Fond  teenis  2021. aastal  vaba
rahavoogu     kokku     4,55 miljonit    eurot,    millest    vastavalt    fondi
dividendipoliitikale   oleks  brutodividendide  kogusumma  3,64 miljonit  eurot.
Arvestades  fondi tütarettevõtete  laenude 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).

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 aktsiaemissiooni.

Finantsülevaade

EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS-i konsolideeritud 2021. aasta 12 kuu müügitulu oli
12,921 miljonit  eurot (2020  12 kuud: 10,731 miljonit  eurot), kasvades aastaga
20%. Kontserni neto üüritulu oli 2021. aastal kokku 12,412 miljonit eurot (2020:
10,103 miljonit  eurot), kasvades 23%. Kontserni  puhaskasum samal perioodil oli
13,099 miljonit eurot (2020 12 kuud: 3,317 miljonit eurot).

Fond  teenis  2021. aasta  neljandas  kvartalis  müügitulu  kokku 3,508 miljonit
eurot, mis on 475 tuhat eurot (16%) rohkem kui eelmisel aastal samal ajal. Fondi
neljanda  kvartali puhas üüritulu oli 2021. aastal 2,916 tuhat eurot, s.o 17,7%
rohkem kui eelmisel aastal samal ajal.

2021. aasta     detsembris    viis    Colliers    International    läbi    fondi
kinnisvaraportfelli  korralise  hindamise,  mille  tulemusel kinnisvaraportfelli
väärtus  tõusis  2,8% (4,423  miljoni  euro  võrra)  peamiselt  seoses  oodatava
üüritegevuse   rahavoo   ning   alanenud  väljumistootlikkuse  tulemusel.  Fondi
konsolideeritud   4. kvartali  puhaskasum  oli  5,355 miljonit  eurot  (2020  IV
kvartal: 2,310 miljonit eurot).

Konsolideeritud  neto üüritulu  marginaal oli  2021. aasta 12 kuu tulemusel 96%
(2020  12 kuud: 94%), seega  moodustasid kinnistute  haldamisega otseselt seotud
kulud  (s.h maamaks,  kindlustus, hooldus-  ja parenduskulud) ning turustuskulud
4% (2020:  6%) müügitulust. Intressikulud  on 2021. aastal  kasvanud seoses uute
kinnisvarainvesteeringute  soetusel võetud laenude lisandumisega, kuid samuti ka
Ulonu büroohoone ja DSV logistikakeskuste jaoks võetud laenude refinantseerimise
tulemusel kasvanud intressimäära tõttu 0,3-0,5 protsendipunkti võrra.

Kontserni varade maht 31.12.2021 seisuga oli 176,401 miljonit eurot (31.12.2020:
151,632 miljonit eurot), s.h kinnisvarainvesteeringute õiglane väärtus moodustas
varade mahust 92% (31.12.2020: 95%).

2021. aasta     jooksul    laekus    kontsernile    pangalaene    seoses    uute
kinnisvarainvesteeringute  soetamise  ning  arendusega  kogusummas  6,3 miljonit
eurot.  Kontserni laenulepingute kaalutud  keskmine intressimäär (s.h arvestades
intressiswapi  lepinguid) on detsembri lõpu seisuga 2,3% (31.12.2020: sama) ning
LTV (Loan to Value) 44% (31.12.2020: 50%).

Kinnisvaraportfell

2021. aasta  juuni  keskel  soetas  kontsern  uue kinnisvarainvesteeringu Leedus
Panevezhyses.  Kinnisvarainvesteeringu  maksumus  koos  tehingukuludega oli kokku
10,011 miljonit eurot ja hoone aastane üüritulu on 799 tuhat eurot.

2021. aasta   detsembri   lõpu   seisuga   on  kontsernil  16 (31.12.2020:  15)
ärikinnisvarainvesteeringut,  mille  õiglane  väärtus  bilansipäeval on 161,961
miljonit eurot (31.12.2020: 144,235 miljonit eurot) ning soetusmaksumus 147,557
miljonit eurot (31.12.2020: 136,349 miljonit eurot).

2021. aastal  teenis Kontsern  kokku 12 165 tuhat  eurot üüritulu. Võrreldavatel
alustel arvestatud üüritulu oli 2021. aastal kokku 9 283 tuhat eurot, mis on 7%
rohkem  kui 2020. aastal. Covid-19 kriisiga seotud allahindluseid andis kontsern
2021. aastal kokku 369 tuhande euro ulatuses, s.t ilma nimetatud allahindlusteta
oleks kontserni üüritulu 2021. aastal olnud 2,9% kõrgem.

Aktsiainfo

EfTEN  Real  Estate  Fund  III  AS-i  aktsia puhasväärtus seisuga 31.12.2021 oli
19,11 eurot  (31.12.2020:  16,93 eurot).  EfTEN  Real  Estate Fund III AS aktsia
puhasväärtus  kasvas 2021. aasta  jooksul 12,9%. 2021. aasta  juunis maksis fond
2020. aasta  kasumist  dividende  kogusummas  2,798 miljonit  eurot  (2020 aasta
kevadel:  2,745 miljonit eurot). Ilma dividendide  maksmiseta oleks fondi aktsia
puhasväärtus 2021 aasta jooksul kasvanud 16,3%.

2021. aasta  jooksul on  kontsern teeninud  vaba rahavoogu  4,550 miljonit eurot
(2020     12 kuud:    3,747 miljonit    eurot),    millest    vastavalt    fondi
dividendipoliitikale   oleks  brutodividendide  kogusumma  3,64 miljonit  eurot.
Arvestades  fondi tütarettevõtete  laenude 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).

Title

EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS unaudited results for 4th quarter and 12 months 2021

Message

Comment of the fund manager regarding the 2021. year's results

The  year 2021 turned out to  be a successful year  above expectations for EfTEN
Real  Estate Fund III AS. Despite the two coronavirus waves that occurred during
the  year, the group increased both rental  income and EBITDA in each commercial
real  estate segment, even excluding revenues from the new commercial buildings.
The  portfolio's commercial areas' vacancy rate remained at a record low of less
than  1%. The revaluation of investment property generated a total profit of EUR
6.4 million for 2021 and the portfolio's unleveraged primary net yield was 7.1%
at  year-end. The  fund generated  total free  cash flow  of EUR 4.55 million in
2021, of  which the total gross dividend  would be EUR 3.64 million according to
the  fund's  dividend  policy.  Taking  into  account the obligation to maintain
minimum   cash   balances  resulting  from  the  special  terms  of  the  Fund's
subsidiaries'  loans and the  short-term liquidity needs,  the Fund's Management
Board  proposes  to  the  Supervisory  Board  to  pay dividends in excess of the
dividend policy, totalling EUR 4.06 million (80 cents per share).

As  at 31.12.2021, the Fund  has EUR 5.9 million  of uninvested equity, the safe
investment of which is a priority for the Fund's management. In view of the fact
that  the level of  yield on transactions  in the Baltic  commercial real estate
market  has been steadily declining in  recent years, the Fund's management does
not plan to organise a new share issue in the current financial year.

Financial overview

EfTEN  Real Estate Fund III AS's consolidated revenue for the 12 months of 2021
amounted  to EUR  12.921 million (12  months 2020: EUR  10.731 million), up 20%
year-on-year. The group's net rental income for 2021 totalled EUR 12.412 million
(2020:  EUR 10.103 million), increasing 23%. The Group's net profit for the same
period amounted to EUR 13.099 million (2020 12 months: EUR 3.317 million).

The  Fund generated  total revenue  of EUR3.508  million in  the fourth quarter of
2021, up EUR475 thousand (16%) on the same period last year. The Fund's net rental
income  for  the  fourth  quarter  of  2021 amounted  to  EUR 2,916 thousand, an
increase of 17.7% compared to the same period last year.

In  December 2021, Colliers International carried out a regular valuation of the
Fund's  real estate portfolio, which resulted in an increase of 2.8% (EUR 4.423
million)  in the value of the real  estate portfolio, mainly due to the expected
rental  cash flow and lower exit yields.  The Fund's consolidated net profit for
Q4 amounted to EUR 5.355 million (Q4 2020: EUR 2,310 million).

Consolidated  net rental income  margin for the  12 months of 2021 was 96% (2020
12 months:  94%), so costs  directly related  to property  management (including
land  tax,  insurance,  maintenance  and  improvement costs) and marketing costs
accounted  for  4% (2020:  6%) of  revenue.  Interest expenses have increased in
2021 due  to the  addition of  loans taken  out for  the acquisition of new real
estate investments, but also due to an increase in the interest rate of 0.3-0.5
percentage  points as  a result  of the  refinancing of  loans taken out for the
Ulonu office building and the DSV logistics centres.

The Group's assets as at 31.12.2021 amounted to EUR 176.401 million (31.12.2020:
EUR 151.632 million), i.e. the fair value of investment properties accounted for
92% of the assets (31.12.2020: 95%).

2021, the  Group received bank loans for  the acquisition and development of new
real estate investments totalling EUR 6.3 million. The weighted average interest
rate on the Group's loan agreements (including interest rate swap agreements) at
the  end of  December is  2.3% (31.12.2020: same)  and LTV  (Loan to Value) 44%
(31.12.2020: 50%).

Real estate portfolio

In mid-June 2021, the Group acquired a new real estate investment in Panevezhyse,
Lithuania.  The total cost of the  real estate investment, including transaction
costs,  amounted  to  EUR  10.011 million  and  the  annual rental income of the
building is EUR 799 thousand.

At  the  end  of  December  2021, the  Group  has 16 (31.12.2020: 15) commercial
property investments with a fair value at the balance sheet date of EUR 161.961
million  (31.12.2020:  EUR  144.235 million)  and  an  acquisition  cost  of EUR
147.557 million (31.12.2020: EUR 136.349 million).

In  2021, the Group earned a total  rental income of EUR 12,165 thousand. Rental
income calculated on a comparable basis totalled EUR 9,283 thousand in 2021, 7%
more  than in 2020. In  2021, the Group granted  a total of  EUR 369 thousand in
write-downs  related to the Covid-19 crisis, i.e. without these write-downs, the
Group's rental income in 2021 would have been 2.9% higher.

Information on shares

The net asset value per share of EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS as of 31.12.2021
was EUR 19.11 (31.12.2020: EUR 16.93). The net asset value of the share of EfTEN
Real  Estate Fund III AS increased  by 12.9% during 2021. In June 2021, the fund
paid  dividends  from  the  profit  for 2020 totalling EUR 2.798 million (spring
2020: EUR 2.745 million). Without the payment of dividends, the Fund's net asset
value would have increased by 16.3% in 2021.

In  addition to the net asset value  per share calculated in accordance with the
IFRS  mentioned above,  EfTEN Real  Estate Fund  III AS  also calculates the net
asset  value  per  share  recommended  by  EPRA  (European  Public  Real  Estate
Association)  to provide investors  with the most  appropriate fair value of net
assets.  EPRA's recommended guidance  assumes a long-term  economic strategy for
real  estate companies, so temporary differences in a situation where no sale of
assets  is  likely  to  take  place  in  the  foreseeable  future will cloud the
transparency  of the fair  value of the  net assets of  the fund. Therefore, the
deferred  income tax charge related to investment property and the fair value of
financial  instruments (interest rate  swaps) are eliminated  from the net asset
value calculated under IFRS in arriving at the net asset value of EPRA.

During 2021, the Group has generated a free cash flow of EUR 4.550 million (2020
12 months:  EUR 3.747 million), of  which the total  gross dividend would be EUR
3.64 million, in line with the Fund's dividend policy. In view of the obligation
to maintain minimum cash balances resulting from the special terms of the Fund's
subsidiaries'  loans and  the short-term  liquidity needs,  the Fund's  Board of
Directors  proposes to the Board of Governors to pay a dividend in excess of the
dividend policy of EUR 4.06 million (80 cents per share).
