EPRA NDA (net disposal value)
Determines equity per share based on a sales scenario. Deferred taxes are therefore recognised as they are under IFRS.

EPRA NRV (net reinstatement value)
Determines equity per share based on the assumption that no properties are ever sold. The NAV is therefore adjusted for deferred taxes and the necessary incidental purchase expenses are added back. Captures the value of the assets that would be needed to rebuild Swiss Prime Site.

EPRA NTA (net tangible asset)
Determines equity per share on the assumption that properties are bought and sold in the same volumes as before. Some of the deferred taxes will therefore be crystallised through sales. However, based on our Company performance to date and our planning, the share of sales is low. Besides expected sales, intangible assets (in our case mainly IT systems) are fully excluded from the NTA.
