INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

This interim management statement relates to the 6 months ended 30 June 2023 and contains information that covers the period from 1 January 2023 to 19 September 2023, the date of publication of this interim management statement.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The company is a subsidiary of Canary Wharf Group plc, Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings plc, and its ultimate parent undertaking Stork Holdco LP, an entity registered in Bermuda.

The company is a finance vehicle that issues securities which are backed by commercial mortgages over properties within the Canary Wharf Estate. The company is engaged in the provision of finance to the Canary Wharf Group, comprising Canary Wharf Group plc, the ultimate parent undertaking Stork Holdco LP and the wider group subsidiaries. The Group owns, manages and develops the Canary Wharf Estate (the 'Estate') in East London. References to 'the Group' and 'Canary Wharf Group' refer to Stork Holdco LP and its subsidiaries. All activities take place within the United Kingdom. The company plans to continue trading in the same manner for the foreseeable future.

At 30 June 2023, the company had GBP1,340,874,320 (31 December 2022 - GBP1,355,536,920) of notes listed on the London Stock Exchange and had lent the proceeds to a fellow subsidiary undertaking, CW Lending II Limited ('the Borrower') under a loan agreement ('the Intercompany Loan Agreement'). The notes are secured on a pool of properties at Canary Wharf, owned by fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the rental income therefrom.

Going Concern

Having made the requisite enquiries and assessed the resources at the disposal of the company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue its operation for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Results for the period

As shown in the company's Income Statement, the company's loss after tax for the 6 month period was GBP4,959,754 (period ended 30 June 2022 - loss of GBP4,948,001).

This loss included hedge reserve recycling recognised in the Income Statement of GBP5,024,076 (period ended 30 June 2022 - GBP5,005,643). Including the hedge reserve recycling impact in other comprehensive income the profit for the period was GBP64,322 (period ended 30 June 2022 - GBP57,642).

The balance sheet shows the company's financial position at the period end and indicates that net assets were GBP5,710,828 (31 December 2022 - GBP5,646,506).

The weighted average maturity of the company's securitised debt is 9.67 years (31 December 2022 - 10.1 years). The weighted average interest rate of the securitised debt is 6.04% (31 December 2022 - 6.1%).

In the opinion of the Board, these Financial Statements enable shareholders to make an informed assessment of the results and activities of the company for the period ended 30 June 2023.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The risks and uncertainties facing the business are monitored through continuous assessment, regular formal reviews and discussion at the Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings plc audit committee and board. Such discussion focuses on the risks identified as part of the system of internal control which highlights key risks faced by the Group and allocates specific day to day monitoring and control responsibilities as appropriate. As a member of Canary Wharf Group, the current key risks of the company include: the current geopolitical climate and its potential impact on the economy, the cyclical nature of the property market, concentration risk, financing risk, climate risk and policy and planning risks.

Geopolitical climate

The geopolitical backdrop has been exceptionally turbulent in the UK and internationally over the past few years. We have also seen a marked increase in Industrial Action, in part due to falling real wages, resulting in numerous days of tube and train strikes impacting the Estate.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is still ongoing and has driven longer term security, economic, and energy policy shifts within Europe, with implications for UK businesses and consumers. The Group has no contractual relationships with any entity or individuals based in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. However, the impact of a war in Europe and sanctions targeted at Russia and certain individuals may impact on the UK and world economy, particularly on energy prices. The long term impacts of these issues remain difficult to predict.

Cyclical nature of the property market

The valuation of the Group's assets are subject to many other external economic and market factors. In recent years, the London real estate market has had to cope with fluctuations in demand caused by key events such as uncertainty in the Eurozone, implications of the UK's withdrawal from the EU, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russia as a consequence. During the year, the rapid rise in interest rates has brought significant turmoil to the debt and capital markets with consequential impact on investor confidence whilst the longer term impact of Covid-19 on flexible working has led to occupiers reviewing their requirements for office space. These factors have had adverse implications for the property market and particularly negative market sentiment towards office assets which has impacted valuations at the period end.

The real estate market has to date, however, been assisted by the depreciation of sterling since the UK's exit from the EU and the continuing presence of overseas investors attracted by the relative transparency of the real estate market in London which is still viewed as both relatively stable and secure.

Concentration Risk

The Group's real estate assets are currently located on or adjacent to the Estate. Although a majority of tenants have traditionally been linked to the financial services industry, this proportion has now fallen to around only 54.0% of tenants. Wherever possible steps are still taken to mitigate or avoid material consequences arising from this concentration.

Although the focus of the Group has been on and around the Estate, where value can be added the Group will also consider opportunities elsewhere. The Group is involved as construction manager and joint development manager in the joint venture with Qatari Diar to redevelop the Shell Centre in London's South Bank. The Group has also reviewed current consents for development to react to changes in the market. This review has led to an increased focus on the residential build to rent sector as reflected in the composition of the master plan for the mixed use development at Wood Wharf.

Financing risk

The broader economic cycle inevitably leads to movements in inflation, interest rates and bond yields. The company has borrowing at floating and fixed rates of interest. Where required the company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

The company has issued debenture finance in sterling at both fixed and floating rates and uses interest rate swaps to modify its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. All of the company's borrowings are fixed after taking account of interest rate hedges. All borrowings are denominated in sterling and the company has no intention to borrow amounts in currencies other than sterling.

The company enters into derivative financial instruments solely for the purposes of hedging its financial liabilities. No derivatives are entered into for speculative purposes.

The company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The company's securitisation is subject to a maximum loan minus cash to value ('LMCTV') ratio covenant.

The maximum LMCTV ratio is 100.0%. Based on the 30 June 2023 valuations of the properties upon which the company's notes are secured, the LMCTV ratio at the interest payment date in July 2023 was 45.2%. The securitisation is not subject to a minimum interest coverage ratio. A breach of certain financial covenants can be remedied by depositing eligible investments (including cash).

Climate risk

The Group considers sustainability to be at the forefront of our business, and as an organisation we have a vision to transform urban spaces into extraordinary environments. In 2020, the Group published its Net Zero Carbon Pathway, a roadmap for reaching net zero carbon by 2030. The Group also published ambitious Science Based Targets (SBTs) ratified by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

Failure to meet these commitments could result in reputational damage for the Group and subsequent damage to our relationship with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. Similarly, inaccurate claims around sustainable practices could result in the Group being subject to fines under the Green code leading to both financial and reputational harm.

Being an integrated developer, contractor and property manager, we are in a unique position to embed sustainable principles right from the initial design of our buildings. However, there are increasing legal and regulatory requirements for building performance for which the Group is required to remain compliant. Failing to meet these requirements could lead to significant reputational damage and adversely impact asset values.

Whilst we are aware of these risks, we do not consider the Group to be at considerable risk of non compliance. We are actively engaging with many industry groups including the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), the Better Building Partnership (BBP) and Concrete Zero to ensure we remain up to date with all regulations. We also actively monitor the operational performance of our buildings, and retrofit older buildings where possible, to ensure compliance. Our dedicated sustainability team produce an annual sustainability report to drive sustainable initiatives and communicate performance to our stakeholders. We obtain external assurance over this report to provide confidence to our stakeholders. The Group actively engages in sustainable practices and is working in partnership with the Eden Project to transform the Canary Wharf Estate into a biodiverse environment.

Policy and planning risks

All of the Group's assets are currently located within London. Appropriate contact is maintained with local and national Government, but changes in Governmental policy on planning, tax or other regulations could limit the ability of the Group to maximise the long term potential of its assets. These risks are closely monitored.

The principal risks facing the Group are discussed in the Annual Report of Canary Wharf Investment Holdings plc, which does not form part of this report.

The loans to a fellow subsidiary undertaking bear fixed rates of interest between 5.41% and 7.07% and are repayable in instalments between 2005 and 2037.

Other amounts owed by Group companies are non-interest bearing and repayable on demand.

The A7, B3 C2 and D2 tranches of the intercompany loan are carried at fair value. The A1, A3 and B tranches are carried at amortised cost (see Note 7). The total fair value of the loans to fellow subsidiary undertakings at 30 June 2023 was GBP1,224,656,709 (31 December 2022 - GBP1,325,641,286), calculated by reference to the fair values of the company's financial liabilities. In the event that the company were to realise the fair value of the securitised debt and the derivative financial instruments, it would have the right to recoup its losses as a repayment premium on its loans to CW Lending II Limited. As such, the fair value of the loans to Group undertakings is calculated to be the sum of the fair value of the securitised debt and the fair value of the derivative financial instruments. The carrying value of financial assets represents the company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The class A1, A3 and B notes were issued at a premium which is being amortised to the income statement on a straight line basis over the life of the relevant notes. At 30 June 2023, GBP9,893,264 (31 December 2022 - GBP10,645,771) remained unamortised.

The notes are secured on 6 properties at Canary Wharf, owned by fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the rental income stream therefrom. The 6 properties are 1 Canada Square, 33 Canada Square, 20 Bank Street, 40 Bank Street, 10 Cabot Square/5 North Colonnade and 20 Cabot Square/10 South Colonnade.

The company uses interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to the variability in cash flows on floating rate debt caused by movements in market rates of interest. The hedged rates of the floating notes, including the margins, are between 5.40% and 7.06%.

The floating rate notes are carried at fair value through profit or loss. The fixed rate notes are carried at amortised cost. The total fair value of the securitised debt at 30 June 2023 was GBP1,190,069,104 (31 December 2022 - GBP1,255,020,633). The fair values of the sterling denominated notes have been determined by reference to prices available on the market on which they are traded.

At 30 June 2023, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives resulted in the recognition of a liability of GBP34,587,605 (31 December 2022 - GBP70,620,652). The fair values of the derivative financial instruments have been determined by reference to the market values provided by a third party valuer.

The securitisation continues to have the benefit of an arrangement with AIG which covers the rent in the event of a default by the tenant of 33 Canada Square over the entire term of the lease. At 30 June 2023, AIG had posted GBP60,804,480 as cash collateral in respect of this obligation.

The company also has the benefit of a GBP300.0m liquidity facility provided by Lloyds Bank plc, under which drawings may be made in the event of a cash flow shortage under the securitisation. The liquidity facility matures on 22 October 2037 and at 30 June 2023 remains undrawn.

   8.           CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS 

As at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, the company had given security over all its assets, including security expressed as a first fixed charge over its bank accounts, to secure the notes referred to in Note 7.

   9.           CONTROLLING PARTY 

The company's immediate parent undertaking is Canary Wharf Finance Holdings Limited.

As at 30 June 2023, the smallest group of which the company is a member and for which group financial statements are drawn up is the consolidated financial statements of Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings plc.
