Net Asset Value ("NAV") is a key performance measure for real estate companies. EPRA has introduced a number 
of measures to enhance investors' understanding. EPRA has defined three measures in the 2019 Guidelines as 
below. 
 
These measures replaced EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV as previously reported. The EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV are 
presented for comparison purposes. 
 
EPRA Net Reinstatement Value ("NRV") highlights the value of net assets on a long-term basis. This assumes 
that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity. 
 
EPRA Net Tangible Assets ("NTA") assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain 
levels of unavoidable deferred tax. 
 
EPRA Net Disposal Value ("NDV") represents the shareholders' value under a disposal scenario, where deferred 
tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their 
liability, net of any resulting tax.

1. Following changes to the Irish REIT legislation introduced in October 2019, if a REIT disposes of an 
asset of its property rental business and does not (i) distribute the gross disposal proceeds to 
shareholders by way of dividend; (ii) reinvest them into other assets of its property rental business 
(whether by acquisition or capital expenditure) within a three-year window (being one year before the sale 
and two years after it); or (iii) use them to repay debt specifically used to acquire, enhance or develop 
the property sold, then the REIT will be liable to tax at a rate of 25% on 85% of the gross disposal 
proceeds, subject to having sufficient distributable reserves. For the purposes of EPRA NTA we have assumed 
any such sales proceeds are reinvested within the required three-year window. 
 
2. Deferred tax is assumed as per the IFRS balance sheet. To the extent that an orderly sale of the Group's 
assets was undertaken over a period of several years, during which time (i) the Group remained a REIT; (ii) 
no new assets were acquired or sales proceeds reinvested; (iii) any developments completed were held for 
three years from completion; and (iv) those assets sold were sold at 30 September 2020 valuations, 85% of 
the sales proceeds would need to be distributed to shareholders by way of dividend within the required 
timeframe or else a tax liability amounting to up to 25% of distributable reserves plus current unrealised 
revaluation gains could arise for the Group. 
 
3. The Group uses the fair value option under IAS 40 and has no hybrid instruments or tenant leases held as 
finance leases. 
 
4. The Group has no goodwill or intangibles. This is the purchasers' costs amount as provided in the 
valuation certificate. Purchasers' costs consist of items such as stamp duty on legal transfer and other 
purchase fees that may be incurred, and which are deducted from the gross value in arriving at the fair 
value of investment and owner- occupied property for IFRS purposes. Purchasers' costs are in general 
estimated at 9.92% for commercial and 4.42% for residential. 
 
5. Following changes to the Irish REIT legislation introduced in October 2019, if the Group ceases to be a 
REIT, as defined under Irish legislation, within 15 years of it originally becoming a REIT then a potential 
tax liability could arise for the Group.

multinationals to shift profits from higher tax jurisdictions to low tax jurisdictions. 
 
Brexit is the UK exit from the EU. 
 
C&W or Cushman & Wakefield or the Valuer are the Group's external independent Valuer. 
 
Cash passing rent is the gross property rent receivable on a cash basis as at the reporting date. It

CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is a not-for-profit organisation that runs the global 
disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental 
impacts. 
 
Contracted rent is the annualised rent adjusted for the inclusion of rent that is subject to a rental 
incentive such as a rent-free period or reduced rent year. 
 
Developer's profit is the profit on cost estimated by valuers which is typically a percentage of developer's 
costs, usually between 10% and 25%. 
 
Development construction cost is the total costs of construction to completion, excluding site and financing 
costs. Finance costs are usually assumed at a notional 7% per annum by the Valuer. 
 
DPS is dividend per share. 
 
DRiP or dividend reinvestment plan is a plan offered by the Group that allows investors to reinvest their 
cash dividends by purchasing additional shares on the dividend payment date. 
 
EBIT is earnings before interest and tax. 
 
EBITA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. 
 
EPRA is the European Public Real Estate Association, which is the industry body for European property 
companies. It produces guidelines for a number of standardised performance measures (e.g. EPRA earnings).It 
is a proxy for the capacity of a company to pay ordinary dividends. 
 
EPRA cost ratio (including direct vacancy costs) is the ratio of net overheads and operating expenses 
against gross rental income. Net overheads and operating expenses relate to all administrative and operating 
expenses net of any service fees, recharges or other income which is specifically intended to cover overhead 
and property expenses. 
 
EPRA cost ratio (excluding direct vacancy costs) is the same as above except it excludes direct vacancy 
costs. 
 
EPRA earnings is the profit after tax excluding revaluations and gains and losses on disposals and 
associated taxation (if any). 
 
EPRA EPS is EPRA earnings on a per share basis (diluted). 
 
EPRA net asset value ("EPRA NAV") is defined as the IFRS assets excluding the mark to market on effective 
cash flow hedges and related debt instruments and deferred taxation on revaluations. 
 
EPRA NAV per share is the EPRA NAV divided by the diluted number of shares at the period end. This measure 
has now been superceded by EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. 
 
EPRA Net Disposal Value ("NDV") represents the shareholders' value under a disposal scenario, where deferred 
tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their 
liability, net of any resulting tax. 
 
EPRA net initial yield ("NIY") is the passing rent generated by the investment portfolio at the balance 
sheet date, less estimated recurring irrecoverable property costs, expressed as a percentage of the 
portfolio valuation as adjusted. The portfolio valuation is adjusted by the exclusion of development 
properties and those under refurbishment. 
 
EPRA NNNAV is the EPRA NAV adjusted to reflect the fair value of debt and derivatives and to include 
deferred taxation on revaluations. This measure has now been superceded by EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. 
 
EPRA Net Reinstatement Value ("NRV") is NAV calculated on a basis that assumes entities never sell assets 
and aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity. 
 
EPRA Net Tangible Assets ("NTA") assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain 
levels of unavoidable deferred tax. 
 
EPRA 'topped-up' net initial yield is calculated as the EPRA NIY but adjusting the passing rent for 
contractually agreed uplifts, where these are not in lieu of rental growth. 
 
EPRA vacancy rate is the Estimated Rental Value ("ERV") of vacant space divided by the ERV of the whole 
portfolio, excluding developments and residential property. This is the inverse of the occupancy rate. 
 
EPS or earnings per share is the profit after taxation divided by the weighted average number of shares in 
issue during the period. 
 
Equivalent yield is the weighted average of the initial yield and reversionary yield and represents the 
return that a property will produce based on the occupancy data of the tenant leases. 
 
ERV or estimated rental value is the Valuer's opinion as to what the open market rental value of the 
property is on the valuation date, and which could reasonably be expected to be the rent obtainable on a new 
letting on that property on the valuation date. 
 
Fair value movement is the accounting adjustment to change the book value of the asset or liability to its 
market value. 
 
FRI lease is a full repairing and insuring lease. 
 
Gale date is the date on which rent is due. 
 
GDV is gross development value. 
 
GRESB is a sustainability benchmark for property assets. 
 
Grey space is surplus space offered by tenants for letting by sub-tenants. 
 
Gross rental income is the accounting-based rental income under IFRS. When the Group provides incentives to 
its tenants the incentives are recognised over the lease term on a straight-line basis in accordance with 
IFRS. Gross rental income is therefore the passing rent as adjusted for the spreading of these incentives. 
 
Hibernia is Hibernia REIT plc, the Company or the Group. 
 
IFRS are International Financial Reporting Standards. 
 
'In-place' portfolio is the portfolio of completed properties, i.e. excluding active development and 
refurbishment projects and land. 
 
IPD is the Investment Property Databank Limited which is part of the MSCI Group and produces as independent 
benchmark of property returns (IPD Ireland Index) and which provides the Group with the performance 
information required in calculating the performance-based management fee. 
 
IPMS are the international property measurement standards as issued by the Royal Institute of Chartered 
Surveyors. 
 
Lease incentive is any consideration or expense, borne by the Group, in order to secure a lease. 
 
LEED ("Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design") is a Green Building Certification System developed by 
the US Green Building Council. Its aim is to be an objective measure of building sustainability. 
 
Loan to value ("LTV") is the ratio of the Group's net debt to the value of its investment properties. 
 
Long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") aims to encourage senior management retention and align their interests 
with those of the Group through the payment of rewards based on the Group's long-term performance through 
shares in the Company that vest after a future period of service. 
 
Market Abuse Regulations are issued by the Central Bank of Ireland and can be accessed at 
https://www.centralbank.ie/regulation/securities-markets/market-abuse/Pages/default.aspx [4]. 
 
MDD is modified domestic demand. It is defined as total domestic demand net of trade in aircraft by leasing 
companies and investment in intellectual property. 
 
MSCI/SCSI Ireland Quarterly Property All Assets Index ("MSCI Ireland Index") is the index produced by MSCI 
which measures the return of the property market in Ireland for all asset classes and which is calculated by 
MSCI both including and excluding Hibernia assets and is used to calculate our KPI 'Total property return' 
or TPR. 
 
NAV is the net asset value. 
 
NAVPS is the NAV in cent per share. 
 
Net development value is the external Valuer's view on the end value of a development property when the 
building is fully completed and let. 
 
Net equivalent yield is the weighted average income return (after allowing for notional purchaser's costs) a 
property will produce based on the timing of the income received. As is normal practice, the equivalent 
yields (as determined by the external Valuer) assumes rent is received annually in arrears. 
 
Net lettable or net internal area ("NIA") is the usable area within a building measured to the internal face 
of the perimeter walls at each floor level. 
 
Net reversionary yield is the expected yield after the rent reverts to the ERV. 
 
Occupancy rate is the estimated rental value of let units as a percentage of the total estimated rental 
value of the portfolio, excluding development properties. 
 
Passing rent is the annualised gross property rent receivable on a cash basis as at the reporting date. It 
includes sundry items such as car parks rent and estimates of rents in respect of unsettled rent reviews. 
 
PC is practical completion. 
 
Property income distributions ("PIDs") are dividends distributed by a REIT that are subject to taxation in 
the hands of the shareholders. Normal withholding tax still applies in most cases.

Reversion is the rent uplift where the ERV is higher than the contracted rent. 
 
Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors ("RICS") Professional Standards, RICS Global Valuation Practice 
Statements and the RICS Global Valuation Practice Guidance - Applications contained within the RICS
