Executive greeting

Dear Reader,

In recent years, there has been increasing talk of a new acronym, ESG, combining the first character of the English words 'environmental', 'social' and governance.

The emergence of the ESG approach and its integration into common talk are a manifestation of the growing requirement that companies should take into account not only financial but also natural and social, i.e., sustainability, aspects in their daily operations and future plans.

Although the widespread use of the term ESG is only derived from a 2004 UN study, we at Budapesti Ingatlan Nyrt. (BIF), being a responsible company, have been paying special attention to sustainability since our establishment in 1995 and have in fact been operating along the principles defined by the ESG framework ('E' for environmental protection, 'S' for social responsibility, 'G' for responsible corporate governance) since then.

Environmental protection

  • Throughout our almost 3 decades of existence of BIF, we have always kept in mind all aspects of sustainability in our real estate developments and the operation of existing properties, and we constantly strive to apply modern, long-term sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly technical solutions in our real estate portfolio.

Social responsibility

  • BIF has been in contact with the Hungarian Interchurch Aid for many years, supporting its institutions and programs that provide assistance to disadvantaged and multiply disadvantaged families. In 2023, we welcomed Tábitha Children's Hospice House as a new supported partner.

Responsible corporate governance

  • Compliance with the requirements of the regulators and investors and transparent corporate governance have also accompanied BIF throughout its nearly three decades of operation, as the Company has been listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange for 26 years and was among the first in Hungary to obtain the status of a Regulated Real Estate Investment Company (REIC).

Please find details of our activities for sustainable development and operations in the Non-Financial Report - Simplified ESG Report of Budapesti Ingatlan Nyrt.

Budapest, 24 April, 2024

Dr. Ungár Anna

President of the Board of Directors and CEO

  1. About the company

Budapesti Ingatlan Hasznosítási és Fejlesztési Nyrt. (hereinafter referred to as "Budapesti Ingatlan Nyrt.", or "BIF" or "Company") has been a major player in the Budapest real estate market since 1995. In the course of its operations, it was one of the first to obtain the Regulated Real Estate Investment Company (REIC) status. The Company has been listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange since 1998 as a property development and management company, with its shares traded in the premium category since October 2018.

The Company, as regards its business, is engaged in the leasing and development of its own real estate and the sale and utilisation of its construction sites. BIF's real estate portfolio has undergone great diversity in the past nearly 30 years. The developments have created a unique, strategic real estate portfolio that defines the skyline of Budapest, and which is operated and managed consistently. During the development, special attention is paid to the neighborhood of the buildings and proper location, hence the buildings are located in the most prominent nodes of the capital. Its developer's portfolio includes office buildings, parking garages, listed buildings, exclusive residential properties and a hotel.

BIF's strategy is to maximise the potential of its existing real estate portfolio, operate its buildings in the most efficient way and seek acquisition opportunities that will further strengthen its market position. The Company pays particular attention to value retention in its developments, which is also an advantage when it comes to their utilisation. While focusing on excellence, BIF strives to meet the needs and interests of its business partners, tenants and, last but not least, its shareholders. To this end, the leasing, operation and sales activities are carried out directly within the Company, allowing an overview of all processes, the continuous improvement and perfection of which are essential tasks.

Development strategy and objectives

  • To identify office and other buildings that fit into the Company's existing portfolio of income- producing properties and arrange acquisitions.
  • To maximise the revenue-generating potential of the existing real estate portfolio and optimise the operation of office buildings.
  • To ensure optimum utilisation of the Harsánylejtő development site in District III, Budapest, owned by the Company.

The Company currently has one wholly owned subsidiary, Harsánylejtő Kft. Given the fact that the subsidiary's business development and strategic decisions are made by BIF as the parent company, the administrative, legal and management tasks related to the operation of Harsánylejtő Kft., engineering and technical consultancy are performed by BIF's specialised departments in the framework of dual employment; they are not covered by this report.

Based on the above, the financial data presented in the report reflects the performance of BIF as the parent company.

Net sales amounted to approximately HUF 8,093 million in 2023 compared to approximately HUF 10,290 million in 2022. The main factor behind the negative trend is that the revenue from the sale of land under the Harsánylejtő Project (HUF 3,219 million) significantly increased the revenue in the base period, while no land sales were made in 2023. Adjusted for land sales, sales revenue increased by approximately HUF 1,022 million (+14%) in the period under review from HUF 7,071 million in 2022.

In 2023, the profit after tax increased by approximately HUF 533 million to HUF 10,545 million compared to the base year.

  1. Stakeholders

In the course of its operations, Budapesti Ingatlan Nyrt. encounters with a wide and diverse range of stakeholders. In order to properly assess the interaction with them, the impact exercised on them and the influence of the stakeholders on the company's operations, the Company has first mapped the stakeholders that can be relevant.

In the future, BIF would like to consult with the identified stakeholders to better understand the Company's ESG-related impacts. During the survey, the following stakeholders were identified:

  • Owners
  • Clients
    • Office space tenants
    • Users of parking garages
    • Tenants of residential properties
    • Hotel management organization
  • Public utility providers
  • Financial partners
  • People living and working around the properties
  • Organisations supporting the operation
    • Cleaners
    • Maintenance
    • Security surveillance
  • Employees
  • Suppliers
  • Authorities, legislative bodies
  • Companies carrying out construction work
  • Design companies

III. Corporate values

In its investments, the Budapesti Ingatlan Nyrt. seeks long-termopportunities and, therefore, it is important that any development undertaken can stand the test of time. Outstanding quality is essential to achieve this, so only those properties can be added to the Company's portfolio that - following the developments or renovations - will provide high-quality environment to the tenants in the long term.

BIF's properties will thus continue to play a key role in shaping the image of the city on the long run. Therefore, the choice of aesthetic, iconic solutions is an essential element in the revitalisation and design of the environment. Preserving the historic significance and character of the prime properties during their renovation means protecting Budapest's valuable architectural past as well.

In its development activities, Budapesti Ingatlan Nyrt. is able to create value not only for the direct users of the properties. Façade renovations and constructions also provide a fresh aesthetic renewal for the people living close to the property. However, improving the architectural environment is not just about evolving the visual impact on the quality of life for those using the area neighbouring the property. The greening and landscaping of the previously disused or construction sites have a number of positive effects, while the benches and waste bins, for example, expand the functionalities of the property's surroundings. The regeneration of the image of the properties and the revitalisation of their surroundings can also create spill-over urban development potential.

BIF's key slogan is "location", which is one of the fundamental values of the Company. In real estate developments, the search for unique locations is essential. It is important to ensure equal access for all when setting up the offices. For this reason, accessibility by public transport for the users of the building plays a key role.

To follow the guidelines and values set for the implementation of developments, BIF continuously monitors the latest developments. It selects the most effective and applicable technologies from the options identified and tests their usability in its own environment before full implementation, whether it is a building management or a workforce management solution.
