PRESS RELEASE Regulated information Brussels, 29 March 2019, 5:40 p.m. IMMOBEL achieves EUR 75.1 million EBITDA 1 and EUR 56.8 million net profit 2 - a record performance IMMOBEL more than doubled its revenues in 2018 to EUR 326.1 million while its EBITDA and net profit reached a record level of EUR 75.1 million and EUR 56.8 million respectively, good for an increase in net profit per share from EUR 1.26/share to EUR 6.47/share. IMMOBEL exceeded its 2018 acquisition target by almost 90 % by adding 189,200 m² of mostly residential projects to its portfolio in Belgium and Luxembourg. The company s balance sheet remains strong, with equity of EUR 344.7 million and net debt of EUR 341.1 million as at the end of 2018, resulting in a gearing level of 50 %. This position gives it the necessary financial leeway for further growth and diversification of earnings. 2019, 2020 and 2021 are expected to deliver strong results based on its existing pipeline and European expansion strategy. For the 2018 financial year, the board of directors of IMMOBEL is confirming an increase of 10 % in the dividend at EUR 2.42 per share. Record financial results The table below provides the key consolidated figures for the 2018 financial year (EUR million): Results 31/12/2018 31/12/2017 Variance Revenues 326.1 149 + 219 % EBITDA 75.1 25.8 + 291 % Net result Group share 56.8 11 + 514 % Net result per share (EUR/share) 6.47 1.26 + 514 % Dividend per share (EUR/share) 2.42 2.2 + 10 % 1 EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization) refers to the operating result before amortization, depreciation and impairment of assets (as included in Administration Costs) 2 Net result or profit refers to result for the year (share of IMMOBEL) 1 / 8 IMMOBEL - Press Release

Balance sheet 31/12/2018 31/12/2017 Variance Equity 344.7 306.9 + 12 % Net debt 341.1 251.0 + 36 % The doubling of revenues was driven by higher sales in the residential segment across Belgium, Luxembourg and Poland (+38 % up to EUR 172.2 million) and the sale of an office building in Poland (EUR 120.1 million). Landbanking contributed EUR 21 million to revenues for 2018. Strong growth in EBITDA and net income was driven by revenue-related developments and the contribution of joint-venture projects in Belgium and Luxembourg (which include Universalis Park and Ernest - the former Solvay). The increase in net debt mainly reflects the acquisition of new projects (using the proceeds of the newly-issued bonds for EUR 100 million as well as project financing) and the dividend payout (EUR 19 million), partially offset by other cash flows from operations (including the proceeds from the sale of Cedet and the various projects currently under construction and being marketed). The company ended the year with a cash position of EUR 170.9 million compared to EUR 147.9 million at the end of 2017. driven by the strong performance of the portfolio The current development portfolio encompasses more than 822,000 m², 800,000 m² of which are spread across Belgium, Luxembourg and Poland and 22,000 m² of which represent a 15 % stake in Nafilyan & Partners, an affiliate for residential development in France, and a landbank of 400 hectares in Belgium. In Belgium, IMMOBEL continued working on over 10 residential projects launched in 2017 (154,200 m²) and achieved a turnover of EUR 122.9 million. Various major projects are currently being marketed and are in the construction phase. The table below illustrates the excellent sales performance of IMMOBEL s teams: 2 / 8 IMMOBEL - Press Release

In addition to the above residential projects in Belgium, Landbanking sold 243 building plots in 2018. In Luxembourg, IMMOBEL achieved a turnover of EUR 61.1 million in 2018 following the remarkable success of the commercialisation of mainly residential projects under development.

In Poland, IMMOBEL achieved a turnover of EUR 129,4 million from the sale of Cedet as well as residential sales through the first phase of the Granary Island project (62,000 m²), which is already 90.9 % pre-sold. IMMOBEL has submitted a building permit application for the subsequent phases of the Granary Island project (41,700 m²). In addition, the construction phase of the Central Point building (18,000 m² offices) in the centre of Warsaw has begun. IMMOBEL sold the Cedet office building (22,300 m²) in November 2018 to an Asian investment fund. In France, the turnover of Nafilyan & Partners (of which IMMOBEL owns 15 %) amounted to EUR 169.7 million in 2018, with 17 projects being marketed and 822 apartments sold. For more information about the projects, please click here. A coherent Pan-European growth strategy During 2018, IMMOBEL strengthened the implementation of its strategic business plan, focusing on different types of development (mostly residential and mixed-use) and Pan-European expansion. The objective is to set up a diversified portfolio generating growth and recurring results. As expected, more than 50 % of net results came from the residential sector this year across the 4 geographical zones in which we were active in 2018, and this trend is set to continue in the coming years, says Alexander Hodac, Chief Executive Officer of IMMOBEL Group. IMMOBEL exceeded its 2018 acquisition target by almost 90 % by taking a 30 % stake in Urban Living Belgium (± 130,000 m² - IMMOBEL s share with 10 projects) in order to expand its development portfolio, mainly in Flanders (Antwerp and Ghent), but also in Wallonia (Liège). At the end of July, IMMOBEL acquired the company Thomas SA, owner of a 5,700 m² office building located at the entrance to the new major clinic district that is undergoing redevelopment in Strassen, Luxembourg. Along the same lines, the Group has enhanced its Luxembourg portfolio in premium locations with three major urban projects: Laangfur (22,600 m²), Cat Club (4,300 m²) and Mamer & Beggen (13,800 m²), notably in the context of large-scale operations confirming IMMOBEL as a full partner in city planning. Last but not least, IMMOBEL finished the year by purchasing the company Michaël Ostlund Property NV, owner of the Belliard 5-7 building situated at the intersection of rue Belliard and rue du Commerce at the heart of the European district in Brussels. With this new development, IMMOBEL is back in the European district with the goal of undertaking a major, sustainable project. We have real expertise in offices, and we believe more than ever in redeveloping the European district, says Alexander Hodac, Chief Executive Officer of IMMOBEL Group. Following a strategic review, IMMOBEL has decided to strengthen its international presence further by entering the office development market in Paris. Paris offers genuine opportunities for offices, supported by a positive economic environment in France and Europe, says Marnix Galle, Executive Chairman of IMMOBEL Group. This is why we hired Julien Michel, Managing Director IMMOBEL France, Commercial Property, who is in charge of our office development operations at IMMOBEL France and who has already built a dynamic team to move forward on the market. Currently the team has entered into exclusive negotiations for over 40.000 m² of office developments. he adds. IMMOBEL and Fort Partners have entered exclusive negotiations with the Four Seasons Group with a view to developing a residential and hotel resort called Four Seasons in Marbella. This project embodies the Group s desire to implement its diversification strategy and to invest in new sectors. 4 / 8 IMMOBEL - Press Release

Recently, IMMOBEL Group chose to invest in the German market by acquiring the iconic 20,000 m² residential project in Frankfurt, confirming its ambitions and unabated consolidation of its European presence. This acquisition demonstrates IMMOBEL Group s interest in Germany, where we are seeking more projects, to create growth and results as we do with other subsidiaries, explains Karel Breda, new CFO of the Group. Capital structure: an enabler for further growth The strength of IMMOBEL s balance sheet, with an equity position of EUR 344.7 million and net debt of EUR 341.1 million, resulting in a gearing level of 50 %, gives the company sufficient financial leeway to grow its portfolio and therefore its earnings further. The company successfully placed retail bonds amounting to EUR 100 million and ended 2018 with a cash position of EUR 170.9 million. Dividend For the 2018 financial year, the Board of Directors of IMMOBEL confirms an increase of 10 % in the dividend, at EUR 2.42 per share, payable in cash. IMMOBEL Corporate Social Responsibility As agreed by the Board of Directors, up to 1 % of the net profit of the Group will be allocated to charities. We are working on becoming a CO 2-efficient company. Our projects must bring economic, social and wellbeing benefits to their communities with the smallest possible footprint, says Marnix Galle, Executive Chairman. Honesty and transparency are our core corporate values and will be implemented more intensely than ever across the company, he concludes.
