I. Sector overview : Logistics Real Estate in Benelux
Over the last three decades the “Just-in-time” principle has determined the development of the Western
logistic/warehouse system. Getting the goods to the right place on the right time was the credo so that only
minimal stocks should be held. The Just-in-time principle has been built in the Benelux mainly on road
transport and warehouses on the main logistic lines. This system is bumping into bottlenecks like road
congestion and is also suffering from higher service demands from end-customers. The development of e-
commerce has created higher expectations on delivery times. The “out-of-stock” cost has risen significantly
for retailers as their competitors are now only 1 click away.
The number of warehouses increases as the out-of-stock cost increases and delivery times decrease
In this chapter we examine the structural trends that underlie the demand for logistic real estate in the
Benelux. We discuss 3 topics separately: e-commerce, Intermodal and labour laws.
A. E-commerce impact
E-commerce provides customers and businesses with a multitude of ways to buy, receive and return goods.
The growth of these services have been fueled by expectations of execution on ever-shortening timescales.
The fulfilment backbone has become a complex distribution process that gains importance in the fight for
market share. The impact on the real estate within the distribution networks is also becoming more
significant. Retailers and their logistic partners are forced to think differently about the location, size and
specifications of their warehouses. The process that handles e-commerce differ substantially from the
traditional retail processes. The table below shows the different new types of warehouses that are linked to
e-commerce distribution.

The table below illustrates the major challenges for retailers that shift to an e-commerce or omnichannel
model in the field of location, time management and cost control. These three factor are interrelated as
proximity and number of locations reduce delivery time, but also increase total costs. The succesfull retailer
can balance the three factors over the long term. Retailers and logistic companies want to stay flexible in
order to keep up with the expansion needs and changing logistic processes.

Different types of warehouses depending on position in the delivery chain. The Urban logistic centers are
closest to the consumers and become more important as the delivery time expectations decline. Amazon is
experimenting with a 2 hour delivery time for a selection of products for its prime members.
The last 40 years have seen a paradigm shift in the way delivery systems operate. From the 70s when retail
stores were directly sourcing their goods from wholesalers, to centralized store deliveries in the 80s, global
sourcing in the 90s to current e-commerce and e-fulfilment distribution networks. The largest and fastest
growing platforms benefit from economies of scale and compete on ever higher standards of service
quality. These companies need a denser infrastructure network closer to the end-customers.

B. Multimodal Opportunity
Congestion Problem
Road transport is estimated to loose significant market share by 2030 (see graph above right)
Congestion in road transport is a serious problem in the Benelux, especially around large cities.
There is still a lot of progress possible in the area of intelligent transport systems that optimizes the
different modes of transport in order to reduce congestion in road transport. As transport and logistic
demand is still expected to grow significantly by 2030, the congested road traffic is estimated to lose
market share in the transport mix.
Rail is predicted to rise from 11% to 20% (NL) and 9% to 15% (BE) in the transport mix by 2030
The freight transport by rail from and to the Benelux has mainly an international focus. Rail transport is
hardly used for transport within the Benelux. The extensive rail network in the Benelux can be better
integrated into the multimodal chain. The higher taxation of road transport will speed up the intermodal
development. Below is an example of a road-rail connection in Luxembourg :
Inland navigation is expected to rise from 35% to 45% (NL) and 35% to 42% (BE) by 2030
Inland navigation: inland navigation in, from and to the Benelux already represents a high volume
compared to the rest of the EU-28. The Benelux is already a trendsetter in Europe in developing innovative
tri-modal transport services.
Intermodal transport also supports the reduction of CO2 emissions from freight transport in the Benelux.

General European warehouse market trends
Over 2017 market forecasters expect strong demand for warehouses exceeding 50k m2 as well as for
smaller units close to large cities, fueled by the continuing alignment to e-fulfilment and final-mile delivery.
The majority of new supply remains focused on build-to-suit. This trend pushes the European aggregate
vacancy rate to below 6% in 2017. The majority of European markets anticipate rental increases over 2017.
The Benelux logistic hubs are expected to remain at the top of the rankings. Transport and storage as a % of
GDP has been increasing in The Netherlands and is now approaching the Belgian level.

Conclusion Valuescan
There is an undersupply of Class-A logistics space in Europe. The reconfiguration of the European supply
chain and the rise of e-commerce means there is significant development potential for modern, efficient
distribution facilities across the region. Logistics companies are constantly optimizing their distribution
strategies to ensure high service levels for minimal costs.

B. Activities
WDP is a Real Estate Investment Trust (BE-REIT) headquartered in Wolvertem. The company was founded
by the family De Pauw in 1971 and is listed on Euronext Brussels since 1999 and Amsterdam (AMX) since
2015. WDP develops and invests in semi-industrial and logistic real estate with an estimated 10% and 6%
market share in Belgium and The Netherlands. The portfolio is 95% located on the broad Amsterdam-
Rotterdam-Breda-Antwerp-Brussels-Lille axis. The company also operates in Romania. WDP develops both
its own logistic sites and sites tailored to specific client needs. The company also grows through direct
acquisitions and redevelopment of existing projects. WDP works with its own project management team
and uses partnerships with building and automation companies. WDP and its partners also develop cross-
docking, cold storage, datacentre, and pharma warehouses. Besides letting, WDP is also in charge of the
management of its real estate, its facility managers support clients in their daily warehousing activities.
Real estate portfolio: 2,9m m2, distributed over 132 sites and with an occupancy rate of 96%:
Geographical Profile: Benelux to North of France connecting Ports, Airports and Container Terminals
Romania
The Romanian portfolio was acquired in 2007 as a play on the enlargement of the European Union. After
2009 credit crisis, this investment program was put temporarily on ice. Over the next couple of years, WDP
intends to expand the real estate portfolio gradually from 71m EUR currently to 250m EUR in order to
benefit from scale effects in that region. Including solar panels, the current portfolio amounts to 80m EUR.
The real estate market in Romania has stabilised and the economy benefits from an increase in exports.
WDP is currently expanding its existing projects and starting new locations.

Recently, the increasing demand for food e-commerce services like Hello Fresh and Smartmat also require
time critical fresh food warehousing and automatization. Food storage has to answer to ever more
stringent health rules and building requirements (high energy use for food warehouses). This explains why
many companies choose to rent cooled warehouses instead of owning and operating the warehouses
themselves.

Investments WDP aims for a portfolio of 3bn EUR by 2020 and has delivered on its previous growth plans.
By 1Q18, WDP will execute another 308k m2 of projects of which a majority in The Netherlands (216k m2)
and 62k m2 in Romania. These projects are expected to cost 175m EUR and realise an initial yield of 6.8%.
This is below the 7.5% yield on the completed projects over FY16. We expect that WDP will create on
average 1m new shares per year to finance the growth plan.

Property income/m2 varied between 44 and 50 Euro per m2 between 2006 and 2016, depending on the
timing of projects. The shift to larger average sizes weighs on the average income per m2. This trend has no
significant impact on the yield as larger buildings also realise construction cost synergies per m2. The larger
building sizes are partly a consequence of the e-commerce trends described in Part I. We expect a
continued slow decline in income per m2.

Occupancy rate has been consistently above 97% during the past 10 years. WDP achieved a lease renewal
rate of circa 90% over the last 5 years. The e-commerce impact will support the demand for grade-A
warehouses and specialised warehouse projects. This trend will support the occupancy rate over the next
couple of years. The limited supply of speculative projects in the Benelux is also a positive factor that
explains the low vacancy rate.
Financial Model
Income/Fair Value% declined from a stable 7% between 2010 and 2013 to 6.3% over 2016. The decline is
explained by the low financing costs that push up the fair value of the portfolio which decreases the
average yields. We expect this slightly declining trend to continue into 2019. This effect ripples through the
P&L to the bottom-line, but is still earnings enhancing on a current level as the financing costs are still
significantly below the net yields of the new projects.

Cost/Income%, WDP operates a team of around 60 people and is actively involved in the development and
operation management of its warehouses. As the portfolio grows, the overall cost as a percentage of
income declines.
Portfolio Results WDP realised some significant gains on the valuation of its real estate portfolio. Over
FY16, the increase amounted to 1.6% of the portfolio value of the previous year. These estimates by real-
estate specialists also benefit from the lower interest rates that impact the discount rate of future rental
cash flows. We expect the revaluation to slow down to 1% on average over the next 3 years. These gains do
not impact our valuation model as we value the company on net current cash flows.

The gross dividend has grown consistently in line with the scale of WDP. Over the last 5 years, WDP
increased its dividend on average by 7.8% annually. WDP meets the 80% requirement, but reserves the
remaining 20% to finance its growth. We believe that the lower pay-out ratio is in the interest of investors
as it maximizes the equity base for further leverage. WDP also offers a choice stock dividend with a small
discount. Over Fy16, 61% of shareholders chose for a dividend in stock. This amount equalled almost 50m
EUR. The high stock dividend take-up increases the equity base without expensive market transactions. The
company can leverage the increased equity base again with more than an equal amount of debt.

B. Activities
Geographical portfolio distribution (number of properties)
Intermodal Investments
Every greenfield development by Montea has to offer bi-modal transport at least. For instance, the recent
developments in Willebroek offer access by road and waterways. Montea believes the problem of road
congestion in Belgium will take at least 10 years to get fixed. The investments in waterway transport are
also driven by cost considerations. Although on average road transport is still faster. The estimated arrival
time by road has become highly uncertain, while transport by water is easier to organize the logistical
treatment. Rail remains difficult for short distance. This is mainly a solution for international transport.

Occupancy rate has bottomed out over 2013 at 94% and has risen to 98.9%. That is significantly above the
European average of 94%. The limited supply of speculative projects in the Benelux and France is also a
positive factor that explains the low vacancy rate.

E. Business Model and Valuation
Over FY16, IO&W experienced a decline in the fair value of the portfolio as it sold some non-core office
buildings below the book value. Since 2012, the portfolio results have been negative as the value of the
office real estate declined. We expect IO&W to realise growth in its portfolio from FY17 onwards as the
refocus into the logistic segment progresses gradually. The vacancy rate of the office segment should
improve after FY17 as the refurbishment of the Diegem campus is completed. Deloitte vacated the building
on 31/01/17.

Investment s: IO&W believes it can increase the portfolio fair value from 611 mEUR to 800 mEUR by the
end of 2018. The company want to expand its logistics segment to 60% of the portfolio by 2018.
Property income/m2 declined from 82 Euro in 2009 to 70 by 2016 as the mix is shifting towards logistics
that generally averages an income/m2 below 50 EUR. The continued shift to logistics will decrease the
income per m2 as well as the fair value per m2. Hence, the impact of the switch on the overall yield or
income/m2 can be positive. We expect a slight increase in the income/m2 to 70.5 EUR over the next 3
years. IO&W has to compete with the 2 established local players WDP and Montea.
Occupancy rate has been recovering since 2011. The office segment bottomed out over 2013 at 82% and
also the logistic segment has recovered from its 2009 low of 83% to a near sector average of 96%. The
Occupancy rate could still suffer over FY17 from the Diegem refurbishment.

Financial Model
Income/Fair Value% .declined from around 7.3% between 2009 and 2010 to a low of 6.2% over 2011. The
margin has been recovering since 2011 to 7.4% over 2016 as the refocus exercise gained traction. We
expect the income to FV ratio to increase slightly to 7.5% by 2019. This is a relatively conservative scenario
as we await more evidence that IO&W can expand successfully into the logistics segment.

Cost Ratio: IO&W net cost line increases by 2.8m EUR between FY15 and FY16. This can be explained by a
much higher contribution from the “Property Cost and Income” line that contributed only 0.5m EUR over
FY16 vs. 2.8m EUR over FY15. This decrease of 2.3m EUR is related to a one-time profit from the
refurbishment fee of the departing tenant Deloitte in the office portfolio. We expect the cost ratio to
decline to 12% by FY19.
Gross dividends for the last fiscal year were fixed at EUR 1.40 as the profitability suffered over FY16 and the
company stuck to an 81% pay-out ratio. We expect the dividend to return to 1.75 EUR by 2019 as the
profitability recovers.

Financial structure
IO&W has significant headroom on its balance sheet to continue its refocus into logistic real estate. Total
debt on assets decreased from 48% at the end of FY15 to 46% in 2016, far below the regulatory threshold
of 65%. The debt maturity profile is also well spread over the next 7 years, with an 84m EUR repayment
peak in 2019.
