Why focus on retail in Poland?

Section 1

Limited new supply

Prior to transformation:

  • 95% of retailing controlled by

government owned entities

  • Only other formats were temporary

and improvised selling points

Prior

1989-1995:

  • Strong reliance on outdoor

market places

  • Emergence of small isolated

stores in sporadic unconnected locations

1989

1995-2000:

  • First hypermarkets opened by Auchan, Real, Carrefour

and Geant

  • First three shopping malls built in Warsaw (Panorama,

Promenada, Bogusz Centre) to cater to the needs of wealthier clients

  • Other formats included a few department stores

(Domy Towarowe: Wars, Sawa & Junior, Smyk)

  • Opening of the first M1 in 1997

1995

2000-2005:

  • Large foreign real estate players

invest in large malls in Poland (e.g. Klepierre, Unibail-Rodamco)

  • Hypermarkets complemented with

large fashion offering

2000

2005 onwards:

  • Multi-level urban schemes
  • Introduction of new formats:

discounters, convenience stores, outlet parks

  • Development of shopping

centres in smaller cities

  • Starting from 2015, development
  • f mixed-use schemes

2005

Lack of high-street retail proposition prior to transformation enabled rapid growth in the number of shopping centres in Poland, which remain the dominant format with 71% of market share, and makes the EPP portfolio particularly attractive

  • In Poland retail is expected to remain resilient to online shopping – Poles associate visiting

shopping centre with leisure

  • There is a strong drive to focus on the development of the social aspects of social centres,

which should further limit on-line shopping threat

Once gastronomy and leisure units occupied approx. 5-7% of shopping space, now this ratio has increased to approximately to 10-15% with a few examples exceeding 20%. This ratio is expected to grow even further in the future

Financial management guidelines

  • Leverage: sustain a sound balance sheet that is well within covenants and credit metrics

with a long-term target of 45%

  • Hedging: target to hedge 100% of interest rate exposure; currency of rental income

matching the currency of EPP funding

  • Credit risk: require tenants to pay rentals in advance and present security of the liabilities

resulting from lease agreements

  • Operational costs: robust approval system and periodic monitoring of costs versus the

budget on a monthly (at properties and HQ level) and quarterly (overall for EPP) basis

  • Dividend policy: intention to distribute 100% of distributable earnings to the shareholders;

shareholders have the option to reinvest through DRIP programme 1 2 3 4 5

Handlowe Przemysl (GLA of c.6,000 sqm)

  • Retail assets are let out to leading retailers with international brands and mature, strong Polish retail chains (e.g. LPP

with a market cap. of €4.0bn, CCC with a market cap. of €2.7bn), diversifying EPP's macro exposure

  • Following the preliminary internal audit

and modelling exercise to assess the profitability of the potential projects, 7 assets have been identified to have extension potential

  • Upside for total GLA increase of c.10%

and NOI of c.12-15%

  • Detailed audit to be carried out in 2018

Tenants restructuring

  • Adjustments to tenant mix to maximise

NOI by replacing poorly performing tenants with new sought-after retailers

  • r service providers
  • Ability to improve shopping experience

by widening the base of various tenant types and introducing new services

  • Aligning the tenant mix to respond to

the shoppers' increasing spending power and changing preferences

Refurbishments

  • A way of increasing the assets'

attractiveness to customers by adapting to the 'cross-channel' era caused by growing online retail penetration and hence recalibrating the assets' positioning

  • Energy-efficiency improvements
  • Resulting in better tenant retention and

higher footfall

Improvement of entertainment and food courts

  • Potential to include tenants providing

leisure services at 5 of the analysed 7 assets

  • Facilities to include modern food

courts, fitness centres and cinemas

  • Increases the overall attractiveness of

the mall and time spent shopping, reducing substitutability of the experience with e-commerce

development department prepares the profitability model based on leasing and construction data

  • Leasing team starts approaching potential
  • tenants. Financing and FC secured
  • Construction starts when 75% of GLA leased

(based on conditional contracts with tenants)

  • Board decision based on positive outcome of

the model, financing and FC availability and minimum 75% of GLA being already leased
