STRONG HALF-YEAR OF DELIVERY POLITICAL UPHEAVAL CREATING PLANNING HEADWINDS
STRONG PERFORMANCECONTINUED MARKET-LEADING PERFORMANCE IN THE FIRST HALF
A positive six months resulting in total return (NNNAV growth plus dividends per share) on an annual basis of 13.3% (H1 2018: 11.5%)
NNNAV growth per share in H1 on a six-month basis of 1.4% (H1 2018: 1.5%) reflecting second half weighting of overall business performance
Profit excluding value gains increased to £2.0m (H1 2018: £1.3m), reflecting the full impact of additional income generated from acquisitions in 2018
SOUND MARKETSFOCUS REMAINS ON RESIDENTIAL & INDUSTRIAL SECTORS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND AND THE MIDLANDS
The regions we operate in are attractive due to better than average economic growth, occupier demand, property under-supply and affordability
National government policy directly supports our ambitions, although local political headwinds has caused the timing of determination of a handful of our live planning applications to be more uncertain and has prompted a change in our planning promotion strategy for a small number of sites
CLEAR STRATEGYFOCUSED ON DELIVERING VALUE & INCOME FROM CURRENT & FUTURE PORTFOLIO
Continuing to refill portfolio with strategic land and income acquisitions to deliver further value. Six acquisitions made in the first half for a total consideration of £18.8m (including costs)
Investment in regional model in our three core regions to unlock additional land and property opportunities
WELL POSITIONEDPORTFOLIO IS RESILIENT AND APPROPRIATELY CAPITALISED IN ORDER TO WEATHER ANY SHORT-TERM POLITICAL
HEADWINDS AND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Significant latent value in the portfolio, with outline planning consent in place for 9,842 residential plots and c.10.0m sq. ft of commercial space. Further value will be unlocked from longer-term pipeline of sites, which carries the potential for a further 12,140 residential plots and 11.0m sq. ft of commercial space
Half-year gearing kept low at 10.1% net loan to value (£53.1m net debt) with cash/facility headroom of £53.4m, providing significant firepower for further land and property acquisitions

INCOME CASE STUDY: ACQUISITION OF ETHEROW INDUSTRIAL ESTATE
10.4-acre Etherow Industrial Estate purchased in June for £6.5 million plus acquisition costs, utilising headroom within existing £100m Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)
Situated two miles east of Junction 4 of the M67 with excellent access to Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire
Site comprises 202k sq. ft of built space let to fifteen tenants, including Howdens Joinery, Neville Johnson and Apex Storage. Etherow currently generates a passing rent of over £682k per annum, representing a net initial yield of 9.8%
Harworth’s Business Space team will use its asset management capabilities to generate additional income and increase its value. The site’s relatively low site coverage of 44.5% also provides an opportunity for the build-out of new commercial space in future

ACQUISITIONS
Six acquisitions made in H1 for a total consideration of £18.8m including acquisition costs, comprising a mixture of strategic land and income-producing sites that could deliver 2,483 future residential plots, 0.1m sq ft of commercial space, and adds £0.7m per annum of new recurring rental income
We made three purchases in the North West: a 169-acre scheme in Chester for long-term strategic land promotion; a further 13 acres at Moss Nook in St Helens to support build-out of up to 900 homes across the wider site; and Etherow Industrial Estate that adds £0.7m of new rent per annum
In the Midlands, we acquired a 128-acre site in Leicestershire that is now being promoted as a major urban-edge extension close to East Midlands airport
In Yorkshire & Central, two sites totalling 63-acres were bought to complement two existing landholdings being brought forward for residential uses

LAND PIPELINE
Significant future land pipeline in place, providing consistent supply to underpin future sales and direct development based on current build-out assumptions
A mixture of deals are utilised to unlock maximum value: residential plots are sold as engineered parcels to housebuilders, whilst we are flexible in either selling commercial land to occupiers or directly-developing our own industrial units
This flexibility enables us to adapt to market conditions by ensuring deals satisfy three management tests:
customer requirements funding and covenants; and risks and projected returns

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND OUTLOOK
ACQUISITIONS In exclusive negotiations
on sites within each of our core regions
We continue to act flexibly, with future deals to comprise a mixture of freehold acquisitions, PPAs and options across all of our core regions
SALES Well advanced with 2019
sales, with over 70% of budgeted sales either agreed, in legals or exchanged for a total consideration in excess of book value (as at 10 September 2019)
Further sales targeted at a mixture of housebuilders and commercial occupiers
Surplus land sales to continue, as part of portfolio rationalisation
PLANNING Live applications for 1,715
plots and c. 3.2m sq. ft across 9 sites awaiting determination at half-year end, with 3 applications for a further 2,150 plots and 0.2m sq. ft being prepared
Planning success achieved in July at Bardon Hill in Leicestershire for 356k sq. ft of commercial space
Political headwinds mean that we expect the consideration or determination of a number of these applications to be extended beyond year-end
LETTINGS Tenants being actively sought
for five co-interest and one remaining directly developed commercial unit
Pre-lets continue to be sought on a selective basis to build-out further direct development for income
Asset management initiatives continue across our other income producing sites
PART 3
21
ACQUISITION FOCUS IS RESOLUTE
Regional operating model improves our access to strategic land and investment acquisition opportunities that will drive future value gains
Our acquisitions resource is now embedded within regional teams
Acquisition focus is resolute and consistent:
‘big, dirty and complex’ former industrial sites that require a specialist master developer to redevelop sensitively, such as Ironbridge Power Station;
sustainable urban-edge extensions that can be promoted effectively through the local planning system for either residential or commercial uses; and
high yielding income-producing sites that have asset management or long-term strategic land potential to drive additional returns
Financial headroom means that we can act quickly & robustly, providing a clean exit to vendors

A BRIEF HISTORY
2004 - 2012
PROPERTY DIVISION WITHIN UK COAL PLC
In 1994, RJB Mining (founded in 1974) bought British Coal’s core activities
Having changed its name in 2001, UK Coal established a property division in 2004, which was to become Harworth Estates
In 2010, Owen Michaelson joined UK Coal to head up Harworth Estates
Current management team formed from core of property division, supplemented by sector specialists recruited as Harworth has grown
2012 - 2014
HARWORTH ESTATES WAS 24.9% OWNED BY CFR PLC
In December 2012, after a complex restructuring, UK Coal changed its name to Coalfield Resources plc (CfR) owning 24.9% of Harworth Estates
Remaining 75.1% was owned by the pension trustees but in July 2013, the holding was transferred to the Pension Protection Fund (PPF)
In November 2014, CfR agreed to buy the PPF’s 75.1% holding in Harworth Estates
2015 ONWARDS
RE-LAUNCHED AS HARWORTH GROUP PLC
In February 2015, Harworth agreed a new 5 year £65m RCF with RBS
On 24 March 2015, CFR renames itself as Harworth Group plc
Raised £116m through a share placing. This cash and issued shares were used to acquire the PPF’s shareholding in Harworth Estates. PPF became a 25% shareholder
In March 2017, Harworth raised £27.1m of equity to purchase five new sites which were all acquired in the same year
Became premium listed and qualified for FTSE index inclusion in August 2018
Harworth extended its RCF with RBS and Santander to £100m in April 2018
