BUSINESS REPORT
FIRST HALF 2020
Dear Shareholders,
The first wave of COVID-19 crisis affected Graphisoft Park less seriously than earlier expected, however general expectations still show uncertainty for years 2020 and 2021. Majority of our tenants are prestigious and financially stable companies operating in the information technology or biotechnology industry, and therefore Graphisoft Park Group might count with less decline in results compared to the general forecasts considering the entire office market. The occupancy rate of the office park was 97% at the end of the first half 2020 (which was continuous tendency for more than 1 year), which will temporarily decrease by 2-3% in the remainder of the year, partly due to the Coronavirus crisis and partly certain tenant requests. However, we do not count with permanent decline in occupancy: in our view, which is based on our tenants' feedbacks, besides "home office" which became general practice during the lockdown, on longer term personal presence will be also required, which need offices offering high quality services. This is also reflected in the development of investment property fair value: in the end of 2020 Q1, because of the increased yield (due to the uncertain economic conditions) and the revenue decrease caused by the expected vacancy, the fair value of rented properties decreased by 1.8 million euros, while in 2020 Q2 the fair value remained unchanged compared to the previous quarter despite of the same increase in yield.
According to the Company's current calculations, the 2020 and 2021 expected pro forma results will develop more favorable than it was published earlier: besides the slight decrease of the occupancy rate, as a result of the indexation of rental fees and rental fee increases resulting from the renewal of rental contracts, we expect for this year 14.4 million euros rental revenue and 4.2 million euros pro forma result, while for 2021 14.5 million euros rental revenue and 4.3 million euros pro forma result, surpassing our 2020 Q1 forecasts.
In June 2020, according to the Board of Directors decision 30 million euros dividend was paid to the shareholders. As such, a significant part of the amount allocated to the cancelled share repurchase transaction has been distributed. The remaining 7.5 million euros - which is reasonable reserve in the current situation - ensures the safe operation of the Company as well as the future distribution of 90% of the pro-forma profit as dividend (which is the Company's practice) even in deepening recession.
Property portfolio and fair value of net assets
The fair value of the Company's entire property portfolio was valued by the independent appraiser (ESTON International Zrt.) at 263 million euros in the end of the second quarter of 2020, representing 2 million euros decrease in fair value compared to 2019 yearend.
Value of completed, delivered properties is 239.5 million euros, representing a decrease of 1.8 million euros compared to the 2019 yearend figure. On one hand the yield further increased because of the uncertain economic conditions in the second quarter of 2020, on the other hand the rental fee increased due to the renewal of rental contracts and temporary vacancy was less than expected, consequently the fair value remained unchanged compared to the previous quarter. Furthermore, future developments will delay because of the current uncertainties on the market, which is partly compensated by the weakening Hungarian forint, but altogether these effects resulted 200 thousand euros decrease in fair value of development lands.

BUSINESS REPORT
FIRST HALF 2020
The dividend payment of 30 million euros in June 2020 decreased the fair value of net assets nearly by 15% (which we noted in our 2020 Q1 Quick Report), which together with the development of property fair value and the current period loan installments resulted that the fair value of net assets amounts to 166 million euros at the end of 2020 Q2.

Pro forma results
Our 2020 H1 "pro forma" results developed satisfactory: we have reached a rental revenue figure of 7.41 million euros surpassing the same period of previous year by 360 thousand euros. EBIDTA, together with some increase of the operating costs, rose by 340 thousand euros compared to the 2019 H1 figure. Depreciation charge did not change remarkably, but at the same time interest expense relating to the higher level of outstanding loans and foreign exchange loss of HUF denominated assets significantly decreased the current period financial result. We present as one-off item the 747 thousand euros foreign exchange loss realized in the second quarter, which relates to the 30 million euros dividend paid in HUF1. Consequently, this one-off loss will not decrease the 2020 pro forma net result2, which will be the basis of the next year's dividend payment. Based on the above, in the current period we have reached 2.14 million euros net result which is nearly 300 thousand euros less than the net profit of prior period mainly due to the interest expenses relating to the increased level of loans payable.
- HUF significantly strengthened between the date of the dividend declaration (April 30, 2020) and the date of the dividend payment (June 8, 2020), which date was relatively far from the date of the declaration due to regulations introduced relating to the epidemiological situation. This resulted that on the payment date the dividend declared in HUF amounted to 31.0 million euros instead of the planned 30.3 million euros. According to IFRS the difference is to be accounted as foreign exchange loss. The Company presents this loss as one-off item and does not plan to reduce the pro forma result with this amount which will be the basis of the next year's dividend payment.

Forecast
In the first half of 2020 the crisis caused by the first wave of COVID-19 had less effect on Graphisoft Park than previously forecasted and according to our current expectations, we count with rental revenue decrease only due to slight and temporary vacancies in the rest of the year, therefore we modify our forecast published in the first quarter of 2020. According to the Company's current estimation, rental revenue will amount to 14.4 million euros surpassing the prior year figure by nearly 150 thousand euros, as a result of the indexation of rental fees and rental fee increases resulting from the renewal of rental contracts. In 2021 rental revenue can reach 14.5 million euros. We expect that operation costs will increase partly due to one-off expert fees and party due to higher personnel and other general costs, while we do not count with significant change in depreciation charge. In conclusion, the 2020 pro forma net result is estimated to surpass the result published in the first quarter by 200 thousand euros, while the 2021 net result will surpass it by 300 thousand euros.

FIRST HALF 2020
We are right in our pursuit of the "micro-silicon-valley" concept articulated some 20 years ago: even during an expected and probably long-lasting economic downturn it is worth targeting a well-defined market - Hungarian and international technology companies pursuing innovation - and focusing real estate developments to cater to their needs. The key to success in their fields is attracting talent. We are aiming to contribute to this with quality and environmentally conscious architecture, in a uniquely quiet setting on the green banks of the river Danube surrounded by the Park's state-of-the art renovated industrial monument buildings preserving the marvelous ambiance of the old Óbuda Gas Works.

Management Report
In this business report, Graphisoft Park presents the progress made toward its goals in the following areas:
- Financial results of the first half of 2020 ("pro forma" results and results according to the financial statements),
- Utilization, occupancy,
- Development and modernization plans,
- Financing,
- Forecast for the years 2020 and 2021.
"Pro forma" results of the first half of 2020
"Pro forma" results of the first half of 2020 changed compared to the same period of 2019 because of the following main factors:
- Rental revenue (2020: 7,413 thousand euros; 2019: 7,052 thousand euros) rose by 361 thousand euros, or 5,1% compared to the previous period due to growing occupancy rate and the yearly indexation of rent fees.
- Operating expense (2020: 850 thousand euros; 2019: 759 thousand euros) increased by 91 thousand euros, or 12% compared to prior year. Property related expenses slightly increased, while the other operating expenses are higher compared to prior year due to the one-off expert fees related to the planned structured share buy- back transaction (which was later replaced with extraordinary dividend payment because of the lockdown).
- Other income (2020: 286 thousand euros; 2019: 219 thousand euros) net amount was 67 thousand euros higher than the base last year, mainly due to developments and refurbishments based on tenant requests.
- Depreciation (2020: 3,525 thousand euros; 2019: 3,432 thousand euros) increased by 93 thousand euros, or 3% compared to the previous year because of the completed refurbishments in 2019.
-
EBITDA (2020: 6,849 thousand euros; 2019: 6,512 thousand euros) grew by 337 thousand euros, or 5%, while
operating profit (2020: 3,324 thousand euros; 2019: 3,080 thousand euros) increased by 244 thousand euros, or 8% compared to the previous year due to the factors mentioned above. - Net interest expense (2020: 1,009 thousand euros; 2019: 603 thousand euros) increased significantly, by 406 thousand euros due to higher outstanding loans.
- Other financial result (2020: 915 thousand euros loss; 2019: 33 thousand euros loss) decreased by 882 thousand euros compared to prior year, from which 747 thousand euro exchange rate loss relates to the 30 million euro dividend paid in HUF.
-
The balance of income tax expense (2020: 10 thousand euros; 2019: 7 thousand euros) is minimal as the Group
- except for Graphisoft Park Engineering & Management Kft. - has SZIT status and as such is not subject to corporate income tax and local business tax. - Net profit (2020: 1,390 thousand euros; 2019: 2,437 thousand euros), except for the one-off exchange rate loss realized on the dividend paid in HUF, decreased by 300 thousand euros and amounts to 2,137 thousand euros in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 because of the factors explained in the previous points.

BUSINESS REPORT
FIRST HALF 2020
2020 first half results according to the financial statements
In the first half of 2020 results according to the financial statements are 1,078 thousand euros higher than the "pro forma" results due to the following two factors: unrecognized depreciation expense increased the results by 3,402 thousand euros and fair value losses decreased the results by 2,324 thousand euros. Decrease in fair value is caused by the uncertain business environment impacting the yield and the estimated temporary decrease of occupancy rate in 2020 and 2021.
In the same period of 2019 results according to the financial statements were 7,383 thousand euros higher than the "pro forma" results: unrecognized depreciation expense increased the results by 3,339 thousand euros and fair value gains increased the results by 4,044 thousand euros. In the comparative period the fair value gain was caused by the delivery of the development in the southern area, the conclusion of new rental contracts and the increasing occupancy rate.
Details of changes in fair values are disclosed in Note 9 (Investment property) to the financial statements.
Utilization, occupancy
Occupancy rate of Graphisoft Park's gross leasable area developed as follows (at the end of the quarter):
Period: | 2019 Q1 | 2019 Q2 | 2019 Q3 | 2019 Q4 | 2020Q1 | 2020Q2 |
Occupancy of gross leasable area (%): | 96% | 97% | 97% | 97% | 97% | 97% |
Gross leasable area (m2): | 82,000 | 82,000 | 82,000 | 82,000 | 82,000 | 82,000 |
In 2018, due to the delivery of the development in the southern area the rentable area increased to 82,000 sqm from the previous 68,000 sqm. Due expansion needs of certain tenants who moved from the core area to the southern area and the new lease contracts concluded in the previous quarters, from the second half of 2019 the occupancy rate increased to 97% again.
Graphisoft Park's tenants make longer commitments than the national average. The Park's unique natural environment and its information technology focus (the "micro silicon-valley" concept) provide the space in which globally acclaimed companies have settled as tenants and expanded continuously over time. Examples for these companies are Microsoft (from 1998), SAP (from 2005) or Servier (from 2007); and the Park's naming tenant and founder, Graphisoft SE (from 1998), which now operates wholly independently as a software company. It is also important to highlight that smaller tenants are staying in the Park for more than 5 years on average and keep extending (average 1-3 years) their leases after expiration even with rental fees considered premium in the Budapest office market. The average lease term in the Park calculated with the starting date of current tenants' earliest lease agreements (in certain cases lease agreements concluded with the predecessor of Graphisoft Park Group) is 13.3 years, and in case of existing lease contracts the weighted average lease term to expiry is 4.4 years.
Development and modernization plans
By the completion of the new developments from September 2018, Graphisoft Park has 82,000 m2 gross leasable area as well as underground parking for around 2,000 cars available for its tenants.

GRAPHISOFT PARK SE
BUSINESS REPORT
FIRST HALF 2020
Other parts of the southern development area offer room for another 20,000 m2 potential development, while the monument and northern development areas (after remediation) provide room for another 42,000 m2 gross leasable area. In the second half of 2019 we have commenced the archeological and landscaping works on the southernmost area of the Park where remediation works are not needed, on 4,000 m2, as well as the preparations for launching possible future projects there. The preparatory works continue in 2020 to deliver new buildings on this area even within 18 months if demand would arise. In the northern area no further preparatory work or development is allowed until NKM Földgázszolgáltató Zrt. completes its mandated rehabilitation duties in the area (see details below in the "Main risk factors associated with the areas" and in "Legal proceedings" sections).
In 2017 we have started the systematic modernization and refurbishing of the buildings of the nearly 20 years old office park. In 2017 and 2018 costs related the refurbishment of nearly 13,000 m2 office space amounted to around 4 million euros and cca. 6 million euros have been invested by the tenants to implement their individual needs. In 2019 we have refurbished several smaller office and service buildings on 5,500 m2, which amounted to 826 thousand euro. From 2020 the technological refurbishment of certain aged buildings in the core area is planned to continue, at a cost of additional 1 million euro per year.
Key characteristic of the Graphisoft Park domestic "Silicon Valley" concept is the sustained synergy between teams of startup entrepreneurs, global IT and Technology focused companies and Higher Educational Institutions as leading edge "knowledge-factories". Partnering relationships based on tight collaboration between Technology Firms, Startups and Educational Institutions have been shaped among these three main pillars of Graphisoft Park, resulting in mutual support and strengthening and stimulating cooperation. The enhanced physical proximity and meaningful collaboration act as an attractive force and is recognized as a convenient source by all the three sectors. Management of the Park is consciously supporting the balanced presence of all three pillars and application of the full potential offered by their collaboration. We are open to accommodate educational institutions that act as knowledge centers and knowledge factories and fit the Park's concept.
Creative work, research and educational activities are further supported by the Park's Management by sustainably ensuring inspiring environment. Our goals are the increase of comfort levels, thus the levels of productivity for all

Park tenant's creative and productive staff, the development of tools for promoting communities, hosting of relevant events and programs for further improvement of creative work conditions for all our tenants. We also aim at developing conditions allowing for various leisure, recreational and sporting activities within the Park. We do all these consciously, in order to develop and sustain high levels of employee satisfaction and engagement, thus enhancing our tenant's competitively on the market. Management is committed to have the Park feel as a comfortable, pleasant second home for all resident employees, more than just a work-place.
Financing
We have executed a loan agreement with Erste Bank Hungary Zrt. in December 2015 with 10 years maturity to finance the development in the core area. In accordance with the loan agreement Erste Bank made a 4 billion HUF (12.6 million euro) credit facility and another 3 million euro credit facility available to Graphisoft Park within the National Bank of Hungary's Funding for Growth Scheme. In order to hedge exchange rate risk associated with the forint-based loan, we have executed a cash flow hedge (CCIRS) agreement in June 2016 covering the entire loan amount and cash flows from the beginning of the loan repayment period until the expiration of the loan contract, by which we have converted the forint-based capital and the fixed interest payment obligations onto euro base.
We have executed a loan agreement with UniCredit Bank Hungary Zrt. in November 2016 with 10 years maturity to finance the ongoing development in the southern area. In accordance with the loan agreement UniCredit Bank made a 24 million euro credit facility available to Graphisoft Park within the National Bank of Hungary's Funding for Growth Scheme. The credit facility has fixed interest rate.
On November 30, 2017 we concluded a new euro-based, 10 years to maturity loan facility which is worth 40 million euro with Erste Bank Hungary Zrt., for the refinancing of the previous loan facility before its maturity, concluded with Aareal Bank AG. The remaining smaller part of the loan is used to finance the refurbishment of the older buildings of Graphisoft Park. The new loan facility is complemented by an interest rate swap agreement (IRS) for its entire term; as a result the interest rate is fixed for the full term of the loan.
On November 19, 2019 we concluded a euro-based, 10 years to maturity loan facility agreement of 40 million euro value with UniCredit Bank in order to optimize the Company's capital structure and to take advantage of the current very favorable borrowing conditions, which has been drawn on December 30, 2019. From the total amount of the loan 3 million euro was due on March 31, 2020, while from the remaining amount the Company paid to its Shareholders 25,5 million euro as dividend. In order to fix the interest rate, the new loan facility is complemented by an interest rate swap agreement (IRS) for its entire term.
At the end of the period the notional value of the outstanding loan liability amounted to 106.3 million euro, which is about 40% of the property fair value. After concluding the hedge agreements, all of the Company's outstanding loan liabilities have been switched to fixed interest rates for the 10 year loan term, which further strengthen the Park's stable operation.

FIRST HALF 2020
Forecast for the years 2020 and 2021
According to the experiences of the first wave of COVID-19 and based on our current forecasts, the Coronavirus crisis will have less effect on our 2020 and 2021 results than we published earlier in exceptionally uncertain market circumstances. Therefore, we modify our forecasts published in 2020 Q1: this year rental revenue would exceed our earlier forecast by 500 thousand euro, while pro-forma result by 200 thousand euro; in 2021 rental revenue would exceed our earlier forecast by 600 thousand euro, while pro-forma result by 300 thousand euro accordingly.
(million euros) | 2019 actual | 2020 forecast | 2021 plan |
Rental revenue | 14.25 | 14.4 | 14.5 |
Other income (net) | 0.51 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
Operating expense | (1.41) | (1.6) | (1.7) |

Profit before tax | 4.96 | 4.2 | 4.3 |
Income tax expense | (0.02) | (0.0) | (0.0) |
Net profit | 4.94 | 4.2 | 4.3 |
- According to our current estimation rental revenue will amount to 14.4 million euros in 2020. In the second half of 2020 we count with slight decrease of the occupancy rate due to the Coronavirus crisis and other tenant requests, however, we expect 150 thousand euros higher rental revenue than in prior year, as a result of the continuous indexation of rental fees as well as rental fee increases resulting from the renewal of rental contracts. In 2021 rental revenue is estimated to be 14.5 million euros surpassing our current year forecast by 100 thousand euros.
- We count with no significant change of other income (net), due to developments and refurbishments based on tenant requests.
- From 2020 we estimate increase in operation costs, partly due to the expert fees relating to the preparation of the planned structured share buy-back transaction, which was later replaced with extraordinary dividend payment because of the lockdown; and partly due to the fact, that the significant increase of the Park over the past years required some restructuring of the Company's financial management and related IT infrastructure.
- According to our current estimation, due to all of the above, EBIDTA is expected to amount to 13.3 million euros in 2020 and 2021, which is close to the 2019 figure.
- From 2019, as a result of new developments and refurbishments in progress we expect significant increase in depreciation (which will not affect the consolidated accounts according to the SZIT rules): in 2020 and in 2021 we count with no significant change in depreciation, the expected amount is 7.1 million euros per year.
- In 2019 the net interest expense of the outstanding loan liabilities was 1.26 million euros, while in 2020 and 2021 due to increased amount of loan higher net interest expense is expected. According to the conservative investment policy and the required asset portfolio prescribed by the SZIT regulation, the Company's financial reserves are held in liquid and risk free financial assets, despite the fact, that interest income cannot be realized on these assets in the current circumstances. In 2020 the net interest expense will be about 2.0 million euros, while in 2021 as a result of regular repayments it could decrease to 1.9 million euros.

- As a result, net profit is forecasted to be 4.2 million euros in 2020 and 4.3 million euros in 2021, which is 15% lower than in the prior year.
Main risk factors associated with the areas
- Due to the prior gasification activity the northern development area is still contaminated. The rehabilitation of this area is the duty of the polluter Capital City Gas Works (currently NKM Földgázszolgáltató Zrt.). According to the resolution of Pest County Government Office, the starting and end dates of the remediation on the former gas factory area are delayed further compared to the original date (see below under section "Legal proceedings").
- Potential flood risk due to the location on the Danube waterfront, which is to be reckoned with for the increasing water level fluctuation, despite the old Gasworks rampart protecting the area even during the historical high floods in 2013.
- The Coronavirus disease and the economic effects of actions taken to slow it down had only slight impact on Graphisoft Park yet. On one hand due uncertain market conditions fair value of investment properties decreased because of the growing yield representing higher level of risk. On the other hand, we count with temporary slight decrease of the occupancy rate in the upcoming periods. Furthermore, despite Gaphisoft Park's tenants are mainly stable research & development companies who may be less affected by the economic downturn, we cannot exclude higher than usual vacancy and on longer term changes in office space usage or decreasing demand for office spaces.
Legal proceedings
Due to the prior gasification activity the northern development area is still contaminated. The rehabilitation of this area is the duty of the polluter Capital City Gas Works (currently NKM Földgázszolgáltató Zrt.). After the final administrative judgment made on December 12, 2019, the Pest County Government Office conducted new proceedings. In the resolution received on April 30, 2020 the Pest County Government Office notified us about the repeated prolongation of the completion deadline of the rehabilitation in the northern development area. The Company investigated the resolution and the possibilities of legal remedy. It would be possible to appeal against the decision, but taking into account all circumstances of the case including the new deadlines of May 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 as well as the expected duration of such legal proceedings, the Company concluded not to appeal against the new resolution.
***
Forecasts published here are based on the valid lease contracts in effect at the time of writing this report. We will not try to predict the number or value of new lease contracts on one hand, as we will not account for the scenario of current tenants not prolonging their leases after expiration on the other, only if they have given notice by the closing date of our business report.
Other factors significantly affecting results are changes in the EUR/HUF exchange rate, the inflation rate and the regulatory environment with special regards to the tax regulations. In this forecast we calculate with an exchange rate of 350 HUF/EUR till the end of 2021, euro inflation rate of 1.5% and unchanged legal and taxation environment.
Forward-looking statements - The forward-looking statements contained in this Interim Management Report involve inherent risks and uncertainties, may be determined by additional factors, other than the ones mentioned above, therefore the actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forecast.
