HALF YEAR RESULTS
Hansteen (LSE: HSTN), the investor in urban multi-let industrial
property, announces its half year results for the six months ended
30 June 2019. The results were achieved with a substantially
smaller capital base and property portfolio than in the comparative
period following the return of capital to shareholders in 2018.
Financial highlights
-- Six month total return to shareholders of 5.4% measured by
EPRA NAV per share growth and dividends paid
-- IFRS profit of GBP19.3 million (H1 2018: GBP29.1 million)
-- Normalised Income Profit (NIP) of GBP11.2 million (H1 2018: GBP13.5 million(1) )
-- Normalised Total Profit (NTP) of GBP12.7 million (H1 2018: GBP20.1 million(1) )
-- EPRA NAV per share of 104.4p (31 December 2018: 102.7p(1) )
-- IFRS NAV per share of 104.3p (31 December 2018: 103.3p)
-- October interim dividend of 2.0p per share (October 2018: 2.4p per share)
Operational highlights
-- Property valuation increase of GBP8.5 million or 1.3%
-- 373 new leases and renewals at an average contracted rent of
GBP4.62/ sq ft (31 December 2018: GBP4.03/ sq ft)
-- New leases and renewals 4.7% ahead of ERV at 31 December 2018 (H1 2018: 4.6%)
-- GBP19.5 million of sales at an average yield of 3.4%
generating profits of GBP1.5 million over 31 December 2018
valuation
Post balance sheet events
-- Acquisition of seven assets for GBP4.1 million (including
costs) reflecting a net initial yield of 9.0%.
Melvyn Egglenton, Chairman, commented: "In the six months to 30
June 2019 we produced growth in NAV per share, like-for-like
property values, like-for-like rent roll, tone of rents and
occupancy. In addition, we completed a small number of profitable
sales and secured some good acquisitions. Our asset management team
again performed strongly securing GBP7.2 million of contracted rent
from 373 new leases and lease renewals at average rents that are
14.6% higher than the portfolio average at the start of the
year."
Morgan Jones and Ian Watson, Joint Chief Executives, added: "Our
yields are high, our occupancy is strong, and our rents are
growing. We still think that the market undervalues the strength
and reliability of the income our properties produce. Many of these
properties have been owned by either Ashtenne or Hansteen for over
20 years and the returns produced by them on a long-term basis have
outperformed most. Because of the continuing march in e-commerce
and the consequent growth of occupational demand, we believe that
the outperformance relative to the other property sectors will
continue."

1 Important Explanatory Notes about Alternative Performance
Measures used in this Report:
The Group uses a number of Alternative Performance Measures
("APMs") which are not defined or specified within IFRS. The
Directors use these measures in order to assess the underlying
operational performance of the Group and allow greater
comparability between periods but do not consider them to be a
substitute for or superior to IFRS measures. Key APMs used are
Normalised Income Profit ("NIP"), Normalised Total Profit ("NTP")
and measures defined by EPRA.
NIP and NTP are adjusted measures intended to show the
underlying earnings of the Group before fair value movements and
other non-recurring or otherwise non-cash items. Fair value
movements include those in relation to investment property,
financial assets and financial liabilities. Non-recurring or
otherwise non-cash items include foreign exchange gains or losses
and the Founder LTIP charge. A reconciliation of NIP and NTP to the
Profit for the period prepared in accordance with IFRS is set out
in note 10. A reconciliation of EPRA measures is included within
note 11. A calculation of net debt and the net debt to value ratio
is shown in the Chairman's interim statement.
Chairman's interim statement
In the six months to 30 June 2019 we produced growth in NAV per
share, like-for-like property values, like-for-like rent roll, tone
of rents and occupancy. In addition, we completed a small number of
profitable sales and secured some good acquisitions. Our asset
management team again performed strongly securing GBP7.2 million of
contracted rent from 373 new leases and lease renewals at average
rents that are 14.6% higher than the portfolio average at the start
of the year.
During 2017 and 2018, our strategy was to realise the value
growth across the portfolio, particularly continental Europe. In
that period we sold GBP1.5 billion of property and returned more
than GBP720 million to shareholders. In the Annual Report and
Accounts for 2018 we set out a change to this strategy to one of
maintaining and working our UK portfolio. This decision reflected
the continued demand for industrial and logistic space despite an
uncertain political and economic background and our wish to retain
our asset management platform that we believe to be fundamental to
our continued out-performance.
Results
We are pleased to report strong profits for H1 2019.
Normalised Income Profit (NIP) which measures repeatable
earnings was GBP11.2 million. Normalised Total Profit (NTP) which
adds realised returns such as profit on sale of properties was
GBP12.7 million and IFRS profit after tax which include all of the
above plus unrealised valuation changes was GBP19.3 million. The
substantially smaller capital base and property portfolio in H1
2019 compared with H1 2018 explains the reduction in profits from
the comparative period. The H1 2018 NIP was GBP13.5 million, NTP
was GBP20.1 million and IFRS profit after tax was GBP29.1
million.
On a per share basis, NIP was 2.6p which when annualised
represents a 5.1% income return on the opening EPRA NAV of 102.7p.
On the same basis using NTP per share and IFRS earnings per share,
the returns are 5.8% and 8.8% respectively. With the recent share
price discount to EPRA NAV, each of these returns is enhanced for
investors buying shares in the current market.
The high-income returns demonstrate not only the benefit of
investing in the industrial sector but also the success of our team
in reducing voids, achieving income growth and reducing overhead
costs.
The table below sets out the calculation and results for NIP and
NTP.

Basic IFRS EPS was 4.5p (H1 2018: 7.1p) and EPRA EPS was 2.5p
(H1 2018: -0.5p).
The Board regards EPRA NAV per share plus dividends and other
returns to shareholders as the best measure of value growth. The
Group's EPRA NAV per share at 30 June 2019 was 104.4p after paying
a dividend of 3.8p in the period. The EPRA NAV per share at 31
December 2018 was 102.7p which equates to a 5.4% total return to
shareholders for the six months to 30 June 2019.
The Group uses a number of alternative performance measures
which are not defined within IFRS. The Board use these measures in
order to assess the underlying realised profits from the business
and as such these measures should be considered alongside the IFRS
measures. A reconciliation of NIP and NTP to the IFRS profit before
tax is contained in note 10 to the condensed financial statements.
Basic NAV per share is reconciled to EPRA NAV per share in note 11
to the condensed financial statements.
Dividend
As reported in the 2018 Annual Report and Accounts, the Board
expects to continue with a prudent progressive dividend policy
adjusted for the 25% reduction in capital base following the
GBP144.5 million or 35p per share that was returned to shareholders
in May 2018. The interim dividend in October 2018 was 2.4p per
share which was equivalent to 1.8p per share when factoring in the
return of capital. The Board is declaring an interim dividend of
2.0p per share, an increase of 11.1% on the adjusted October 2018
dividend.
The dividend will be paid as a Property Income Distribution
(PID) on 25 October 2019. The associated record date is 27
September 2019 and the ex-dividend date is 26 September 2019.
Property portfolio
Despite the growing popularity of the industrial and logistics
sector the yield from our portfolio remains high. The built
portfolio has a yield of 7.6% on the passing rent (31 December
2018: 7.6%), 8.3% on the contracted rent (31 December 2018: 8.2%)
and 9.2% on the valuer's ERV (31 December 2018: 9.2%). Including
the 434.7 acres of undeveloped land, the total portfolio has a
yield on the passing rent of 7.2% and a yield on the contracted
rent of 7.7%. The summary analysis of the total portfolio, at 30
June 2019, is set out below:

============ =========== ========= ====== ======= ========== ======= ======== =========== =====
Once again, our asset management team performed strongly in the
first six months of the year securing 373 new lettings and renewals
at rent levels which were 4.7% higher than the ERV at 31 December
2018. Such positive leasing activity is testament to the
relationships that our asset managers hold with our tenants and
highlights their ability to find and secure new occupiers when a
unit is vacant. The average rent achieved on these new lettings and
renewals increased by 14.6% to GBP4.62/ sq ft compared with the
average contracted rent of GBP4.03/ let sq ft at 31 December 2018.
Like-for-like net occupancy has improved by 88,694 sq ft with
like-for-like contracted rent increasing by GBP0.57 million.
Property valuation, disposals and acquisitions
The like-for-like value of the total portfolio (after disposals)
has increased by GBP8.5 million or 1.3% since 31 December 2018. The
UK portfolio increased by GBP9.7 million or 1.6% and the value of
the Belgium and France portfolio decreased by GBP1.2 million or
4.3%. Despite the overall valuation increase, the growth in rents
means the built portfolio retained a high yield of 7.6% on the
passing rent and 8.3% on the contracted rent.
We have focused on realising returns from our remaining
Continental European properties and our undeveloped land. In July
we agreed in principle to sell our remaining property in France to
the tenant and expect completion to take place before the end of
this year. In relation to the land we have profitably sold 21.4
acres so far this year and have a further 17 acres under contract
for sale, subject to planning permission.
In total, we completed eight opportunistic sales totalling
GBP19.5 million at an average yield of just 3.4% which have
generated profits of GBP1.5 million above the 31 December 2018
valuation. Most of these sales were negotiated before the last
year-end and completed in the first quarter of 2019.
Competition for UK multi-let industrial properties remains high
but there has been a marked decrease in the amount of available
stock as investors weigh up the current political and economic
uncertainty. In June we completed the purchase of three assets for
GBP3.4 million and purchased another asset in July for GBP2.1
million. In August we have completed the purchase of a further
seven assets for GBP4.1 million. In aggregate, these 2019 purchases
are at a 9.0% yield. The purchases are small in scale but their
small average unit sizes, large number of tenants and short lease
lengths fit our existing portfolio very well.
Gearing
Borrowings of the Group are at historically low costs and at
modest loan-to-values. We have a single revolving facility for the
UK and France and a separate loan in Belgium.
At 30 June 2019, net debt was GBP209.6 million (31 December
2018: GBP193.9 million) and the net debt to value ratio was 32.3%
(31 December 2018: 29.7%). The table below sets out the calculation

As at 30 June 2019, the Group had total bank facilities of
GBP333.2 million (31 December 2018: GBP333.5 million), of which
GBP233.2 million were drawn (31 December 2018: GBP245.5 million).
Borrowings are in the same currency as the assets against which
they are secured. Cash resources were GBP27.2 million (31 December
2018: GBP55.1 million). The weighted average debt maturity, at 30
June 2019, was 2.1 years and the weighted average maturity of
hedging was 2.1 years.
In addition to the bank loan facilities, the Group has a GBP2.2
million finance lease in place to fund a property in Belgium. As at
30 June 2019, the lease had an unexpired term of 3.5 years and an
interest rate implicit in the lease of 1.7%.
In total at 30 June 2019, the Group had borrowings including
obligations under finance leases, of GBP235.4 million (31 December
2018: GBP247.7 million) of which GBP150.0 million was swapped at an
average rate of 0.53% and GBP50.0 million was capped at an average
rate of 0.75%. The average all-in borrowing rate for the Group, at
30 June 2019, was 3.1% (31 December 2018: 3.1%).
Outlook
Urban multi-let industrial property is in strong demand from
both occupiers and investors. The growth in e-commerce has boosted
occupational demand with last mile delivery and goods returns
accounting for some of this additional demand. However smaller
multi-let units benefit differently to the big box logistic units
but all of them generate increased demand for industrial
warehousing over other forms of real estate. We have recently
analysed a sample of our tenants to better understand the impact of
the internet on their businesses.
Our survey found that:
-- 91.4% of tenants surveyed market their products online.
-- 30.5% of the tenants not only market online but take purchase orders on line.
-- 27.1% of tenants in our industrial units would have operated
in different property types (retail, office or leisure) prior to
development of the internet.
The traditional occupiers in our sector continue to trade as
strong as ever and some of them have grown faster as a result of
incorporating the internet in their business models. However, some
businesses which would have occupied other types of property can
now beneficially operate from our type of units. Something common
to many of our occupiers is that businesses which used to only
trade 'business to business' are now able to deal directly with the
end consumer enabling them to both grow and improve their
margins.
The spread of uses in our type of properties are broader than
they have ever been encompassing manufacturing, storage and
delivery, retail, office, leisure and those tenants that do not
fall within any particular use class, ranging from churches to
micro- breweries. That incredible numerical, geographical and
sectorial diversity gives our rent roll the solidity and resilience
we have enjoyed for more than 20 years.
Our yields are high, our occupancy is strong, and our rents are
growing. We think that the market under values the strength and
reliability of the income our properties produce. Many of these
properties have been owned by either Ashtenne or Hansteen for over
20 years and the returns produced by them on a long-term basis have
outperformed most. Because of the continuing march in e-commerce
and the consequent growth of occupational demand we believe that
the out- performance relative to the other property sectors will
continue.

Principal risks and uncertainties
Risk management is an important part of the Group's system of
internal controls. Senior management and the Board regularly
consider the significant risks which it believes are facing the
Group, identify and monitor appropriate controls and, if necessary,
instigate action to improve those controls. There will always be
some risk when undertaking property investments but the control
process is aimed at mitigating and minimising these risks where
possible.
The Board continues to monitor the developments in the Brexit
negotiations with a view to assessing the potential impact on the
business. The uncertain outcome of the negotiations makes it
difficult to assess the potential impact on the business, but the
Board considers that the principal risks set out below deal with
the potential consequences that might result from the failure to
agree satisfactory terms with the EU such as tenant failure,
recession and reduced profitability and lack of availability of
capital.
The key risks identified by the Board for the remaining six
months of the year, the steps taken to mitigate them and additional
commentary is as follows:

Notes to the condensed set of financial statements for the six
months ended 30 June 2019
1. General information
Hansteen Holdings PLC is a company which is incorporated in the
United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The address of the
registered office is 1st Floor, Pegasus House, 37-43 Sackville
Street, London, W1S 3DL.
The Group's principal activities are those of a property group
investing mainly in industrial properties in Continental Europe and
the United Kingdom.
The financial information contained in this interim report does
not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the year ended 31
December 2018 was derived from the statutory accounts for the year
ended 31 December 2018, a copy of which has been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was
unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which
the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis of matter and did not
contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies
Act 2006.
As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority, the condensed financial statements
have been prepared applying the accounting policies and
presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Group's
published annual financial statements for the period ended 31
December 2018 apart from a number of new standards and amendments
to IFRSs that became effective for the financial year beginning on
1 January 2019. These new standards and amendments are listed
below:
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
IFRS 9 (amendments) Prepayment Features with Negative
compensation
IAS 28 (amendments) Long-term Interests in Associates
and Joint Ventures
Annual Improvements to IFRS Amendments to IFRS 3 Business
Standards 2015-2017 Cycle Combinations, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements,
IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 23
Borrowing Costs
IAS 19 (amendments) Plan Amendment, Curtailment or
Settlement
IFRS 3 (amendments) Definition of Business
IAS 1 and IAS 8 (amendments) Definition of Material
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (amendments) Sale of Contribution of Assets
between an Investor and its Associate
or Joint Venture
The adoption of these new standards and amendments to IFRSs did
not materially impact the condensed set of financial statements for
the six months ended 30 June 2019 and no retrospective adjustments
were made to the prior year figures.
The Group's performance is not subject to seasonal
fluctuations.
2. Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of Hansteen Holdings PLC are
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim
report has been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by
the European Union.
There have been no changes to the significant accounting
policies set out in the latest financial statements of the Group in
preparing the condensed set of financial statements.
The interim report was approved by the Board on 20 August
2019.
The principal exchange rates used to translate foreign currency
denominated amounts are:
Balance sheet: GBP1 = EUR1.1176 (31 December 2018: GBP1 =
EUR1.1308)
Income statement: GBP1 = EUR1.1466 (30 June 2018: GBP1 =
EUR1.1369)
3. Going concern
The Group's principal risks and uncertainties are detailed
above. The Directors believe that the Group is well placed to
manage its business risks successfully despite the potential impact
of the current uncertain economic outlook on the Group's operating
cash flows and the possibility of tenancy failures and increased
vacancies. After consideration of the Group's forecast cash flows
and covenant compliance, including evaluation of the impact of
potential reductions in property valuations, rental income and
increases in interest rates, the Directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Group will continue to have adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and
therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing
these condensed financial statements.
Information on the Group's performance and its risk management
is included in the Interim Statement, including sections on the
finance, hedging and outlook of the Group. The Group's debt
maturity profile and principal covenants are disclosed in note 13
to these condensed financial statements.
4. Related party transactions
Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are
related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not
disclosed. There have been no other material transactions with
related parties in the first six months of 2019 and there have been
no material changes in the related party transactions described in
the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December
2018.

The Group elected to be a UK REIT in 2009 following admission to
the Official List. The UK REIT rules exempt the profits of the
Group's property rental business from UK corporation tax. Gains on
UK properties are also exempt from tax provided they are not held
for trading. The Group's UK activities are otherwise subject to UK
corporation tax. To remain a UK REIT there are a number of
conditions to be met in respect of the principal company of the
Group, the Group's qualifying activity and its balance of business
which are set out in the UK REIT legislation in the Corporation Tax
Act 2010.

As a REIT, the Company is required to pay Property Income
Distributions ('PIDs') equal to at least 90% of the Group's
exempted net income after deduction of withholding tax at the basic
rate (currently 20%). GBP16.1 million of the cash dividend paid in
the period ended 30 June 2019 is attributable to PIDs (2018:
GBP15.2 million).
10. Normalised income profit and normalised total profit
The Group uses a number of Alternative Performance Measures
("APMs") which are not defined or specified within IFRS. The
Directors use these measures in order to assess the underlying
operational performance of the Group and allow greater
comparability between periods but do not consider them to be a
substitute for, or superior to, IFRS measures. Key APMs used are
Normalised Income Profit ("NIP"), Normalised Total Profit ("NTP"),
measures defined by EPRA and adjusted EPS1.
NIP and NTP are adjusted measures intended to show the
underlying earnings of the Group before fair value movements and
other non-recurring or otherwise non-cash items. Fair value
movements include those in relation to investment properties,
financial assets and financial liabilities. Non-recurring or
otherwise non-cash items include foreign exchange gains or losses
and the Founder LTIP charge. A reconciliation of NIP and NTP to the
Profit for the year prepared in accordance with IFRS is set out
below. A reconciliation of EPRA measures and adjusted EPS is
included within note 11. There are no discontinued operations in
2019.

In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group's investment properties
have been assigned a valuation level in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In general, the
Group's investment properties as at 30 June 2019 is categorised as
Level 3.
Investment properties are valued using a capitalisation
methodology applying a yield to current and estimated rental
income. Yields and rental values are considered to be unobservable
inputs and details of the ranges used in each region are as
follows:

Everything else being equal, there is a positive relationship
between rental values and the property valuation, such that an
increase in rental values will increase the valuation of a property
and vice versa. However, the relationship between capitalisation
yields and the property valuation is negative; therefore an
increase in capitalisation yields will reduce the valuation of a
property and vice versa. There are interrelationships between these
inputs as they are determined by the market conditions, and the
valuation movement in any one period depends on the balance between
them. If these inputs move in opposite directions (i.e. rental
values increase and yields decrease) valuation movements can be
amplified, whereas if they move in the same direction they may be
offset, reducing the overall net valuation movement. The valuation
movement is materially sensitive to changes in yields and rental
values however it is impractical to quantify these changes.

16. Financial instruments fair value disclosures
The table below sets out the categorisation of the financial
instruments held by the Group at 31 December 2018. The carrying
amount of all financial instruments, other than those for which a
valuation level has been given below, approximates to their fair
values. Where the financial instruments are held at fair value the
valuation level indicates the priority of the inputs to the
valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest
priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall
within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is
based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO HANSTEEN HOLDINGS PLC
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 June 2019 which comprises the consolidated
income statement, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated
statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cash flow
statement and related notes 1 to 17. We have read the other
information contained in the half-yearly financial report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set
of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with
International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410
"Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial
Reporting Council. Our work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the company those matters we are required to state to it
in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review
work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible
for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the
group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included
in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim
Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2019 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the
European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
