Directors' Report on operations
Consolidated profit/(loss) for the year is about € -9.44 million and reflects the negative adjustment to fair value of Investment Properties of about € 7 million resulting from the adjustment of asset values as estimated by the independent expert. The loss for the year also reflects the impact of the write-down of deferred tax assets in the amount of € 0.2 million.
Consolidated EBITDA which represents the margin before the result of financial management, asset adjustments, and taxes, is € -0.64 million and incorporates, in addition to the margin of Net Rental Revenues of € 5.1 million (€ 4.3 million as of December 31, 2022), Personnel Costs of € 2.7 million and General Costs of
- 2.9 million. Personnel Costs and General Costs incorporate the economic effects, amounting to approximately € 2.2 million, of the settlement agreements with the previous top management resolved by the Board of Directors on March 21, 2023 concerning the terms and conditions of the consensual early termination of the executive employment relationships of the General Manager and the Chief Investment Officer as well as the early termination of the offices of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer.
Total financial debt improved by approximately € 3.9 million compared to 31 December 2022. The change is mainly attributable to: i) the reduction in financial payables as a result of early repayments of bank loans and real estate leases totalling € 6.3 million, which led to a corresponding decrease in liquidity, ii) the increase, due to the recognition of interest accrued during the year of € 1.3 million, in financial payables related to credit facility agreements disbursed by CPI Property Group S.A. for which the Company has the option to repay at maturity in 2026, and iii) financial outlays related to the above-mentioned settlement agreements.
The Net Loan to Value is 44% and increased against the above-mentioned effects in relation to Total Financial Debt. The value of Investment property decreased by approximately 4% compared to 31 December 2022 following the recognition of negative fair value adjustments as estimated by the independent expert.

Alternative performance measures
The content of the "alternative performance measures" not established by the international accounting standards adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU), used in this Report in order to allow for a better assessment of the Company's profit and loss and financial position in accordance with the recommendations of the Guidelines published in October 2015 by ESMA, is provided below. The meaning, content and basis for the calculation of these indicators are outlined below:
Net operating income (NOI): indicates the profitability of the real estate portfolio and corresponds to the item Net rental income in the Financial Statements.
EBITDA: Earnings before value adjustments such as depreciation and amortisation of fixed assets, fair value adjustments of Investment property and Financial assets at fair value, results of financial management and taxes. EBITDA measures the Company's operating performance.
Total financial debt: calculated in accordance with the ESMA Guidelines on financial debt, published on 4 March 2021, which the supervisory authority Consob has asked to be adopted as of 5 May 2021.
Net Loan to Value (Net LTV): Ratio between Payables to banks and other lenders, net of Cash and cash equivalents, and the value of Investment Property. This measures the sustainability of the Company's financial structure.
EPRA LTV: The indicator is calculated in accordance with EPRA guidelines and is the ratio of the Group's net debt to the market value of the assets held. The indicator expresses the leverage of the company from the shareholders' perspective.
Portfolio Loan to value (LTV): Ratio between the nominal value of residual debt relating to the loans taken out

Directors' Report on operations
for the assets in the portfolio and the market value of all the assets in the portfolio (Investment property, measured at fair value, and the market value of the portion of the asset in Rome, Via Zara recorded under Other tangible assets). This indicator measures the sustainability of financial debt related to real estate assets.
Fund from operation (FFO): is calculated as net income/(loss) for the period adjusted for non-cash cost and revenue components and non-recurring income components.
EPRA NRV (NET REINSTATEMENT VALUE): this measure aims to represent the value of net assets over the long term. It represents the repurchase value of the company, assuming the company does not sell real estate. It is calculated starting from the relevant shareholders' equity (as reported in the financial statements according to IFRS principles) excluding certain assets and liabilities that are not expected to arise under normal business conditions, such as the fair value of hedging derivatives; deferred taxes on market valuations of real estate and hedging derivatives.
WALT: index relating to the overall weighted average lease term on the outstanding annual leases of NEXT RE's real estate portfolio as at 31 December 2022. The above index was calculated on the first contractual expiry date of the individual lease contracts in place, not taking into account any early termination options.
Occupancy: ratio between leasable area and leased area of assets in the portfolio.

Directors' Report on operations
- increasing the profitability of the real estate portfolio, also through the implementation of the process of its valorisation and rotation;
- rationalisation and streamlining of the Company's economic and financial structure in order to facilitate, and better convey, the capital increase project, according to a timeframe consistent with that of the proxy granted to the Board of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting of 26 April 2021, to be exercised by the date of the Shareholders' approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2023, pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, also excluding option rights pursuant to Article 2441, paragraphs 4 and 5, of the Italian Civil Code.

- Consolidated EBITDA was positive at EUR 30,000 compared to EUR -1.7 million in 2021;

- Net Loan to Value was 39% as of 31 December 2022 compared to 44% as of 31 December 2021.
On the same date, the Board of Directors took note of the evaluations expressed by the controlling shareholder CPI PG, which, in the context of the economic-financial rebalancing envisaged by the Industrial Plan, which aims at maintaining a management balance, assuming only a moderate - and possible - growth of the portfolio, proposed a different cost balance of the current governance and managerial structure aimed, inter alia, at further and significant rationalisation of costs. In this context, in view of the willingness expressed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Giancarlo Cremonesi, by the Chief Executive Officer (as well as General Manager) Stefano Cervone and by the Chief Investment Officer Claudio Carserà - all of whom are related parties of the Company pursuant to Article 2.1, letter (a) of the "Procedure on Transactions with Related Parties of NEXT RE SIIQ S.P. A" - in order to facilitate the aforementioned path, the Board of Directors approved the settlement agreements concerning the terms and conditions: (i) of the consensual early termination of the executive employment relationships of the General Manager and the Chief Investment Officer effective as of 30 April 2023 as well as, (ii) of the termination of the offices of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer effective as of the conclusion of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2022 financial statements (the "Settlement Agreements").
On the same date, the Board of Directors also acknowledged the concurrent resignations of Directors Giuseppe Colombo, Luca Nicodemi (Independent Director and Chairman of the Appointments and Remuneration Risk Control Committee), Giovanni Naccarato (Executive Director and CFO of the Company) and Camilla Giugni (Independent Director and member of the Appointments and Remuneration Risk Control Committee) from their respective offices (resignations effective as of the conclusion of the Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the 2022 financial statements), deemed appropriate, also taking into account the Company's cost rationalisation plan currently being implemented, in order to refer all decisions on the new composition of the Board of Directors to the Shareholders' Meeting.
Therefore, following the resignation of the majority of the directors in office, pursuant to Article 16 of the Bylaws, the Board of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 26 April 2021 and supplemented by the Shareholders' Meeting of 10 November 2021, took note of its own forfeiture, remaining in office until the
