The following presentation of the adjusted results of operations reflects the business of the Instone Group, which was largely influenced by project developments. The adjustments to the adjusted results of operations in relation to the income statement are described in the segment reporting on page 29.

Revenue

Adjusted revenues improved by 2.9% to €268.0 million in the first six months of the 2022 financial year (previous-year period: €260.5 million). Due to the greater progress in construction in relation to the comparable period for the project developments already sold, revenue increased slightly, although sales were comparatively lower. In the same period of the previous year, two significant institutional sales had already been achieved that could not be achieved in the current financial year due to a reduced demand from investors due to the general environment of uncertainty.

The adjustment of effects from purchase price allocations weighed on the adjusted revenue in the amount of €0.9 million (previous-year period: €0.0 million). The separate measurement of share deals ("Westville" project) increased the adjusted revenue by €17.5 million (previous-year period: €20.1 million).

Other Information

The adjusted revenues of the Instone Group are spread across the following regions:

1 Includes, among others, Potsdam (€5.8 million), Bamberg (€1.4 million) and Wiesbaden (€1.8 million)

Project costs

The adjusted project costs, mainly consisting of the cost of materials and changes in inventories, rose disproportionately to €199.2 million in the first six months of 2022 (previous-year period: €183.8 million). The sharper increase in project costs is already reflected in the significant increase in construction costs. The individual components of the project costs developed as follows: The increased purchases of land and the continuation of construction activities led to a significant increase in the cost of materials to €268.2 million (previous-year period: €198.6 million). The decreases in inventories of – €82.0 million (previous-year period: – €29.5 million) reflected the increasing level of sales of the projects being realised. Indirect sales expenses in the amount of €1.1 million

(previous-year period: €0.6 million) and material cost-related other operating income from grants and released liabilities of – €3.9 million (previous-year period: €0.0 million) were allocated to adjusted project costs in the first six months of 2022. The adjustment of the capitalised interest in the changes in inventories of €1.0 million (previous-year period: €1.2 million) added to the adjusted project costs. Effects from the amortisation of purchase price allocations reduced adjusted project costs by – €6.8 million (previous-year period: – €4.9 million). Due to the separate valuation of share deals, adjusted project costs again increased by €21.7 million (previous-year period: €17.9 million).

Project costs TABLE 004

+ effects from share deal agreements 21.7 17.9 21.2%
Project costs adjusted 199.2 183.8 8.4%

Gross profit

Due to the disproportionate increase in the cost of materials in the first half of 2022, adjusted gross profit decreased to €68.8 million (previous-year period: €76.7 million) compared with the previous year.

Other Information

The adjusted gross profit margin – calculated from the adjusted gross profit relating to the adjusted revenue – amounted to 25.7% (previous-year period: 29.4%) and therefore remains at a high level even in comparison with the industry.

Platform costs

The adjusted platform costs, consisting of staff costs, other operating income and expenses and depreciation and amortisation, fell to €34.4 million (previous-year period: €38.1 million). In the period under review, indirect sales costs of –€1.1 million (previous-year period: – €0.6 million) and material cost-related other operating income of €3.9 million (previous-year period: €0 million) were reclassified in project costs.

Platform costs TABLE 006
In millions of euros
6M 2022 6M 2021 Change
Platform costs 31.6 38.7 – 18.3%
+ effects from reclassifications 2.8 – 0.6 n/a
Platform costs adjusted 34.4 38.1 – 9.7%

Staff costs at the end of the second quarter of 2022 were €26.2 million (same period in the previous year: €25.1 million) – a year-on-year rise of around 4%. The higher number of employees as at 30/06/2022 of 486 (previous year: 437) to implement the medium-term growth targets as well as the corresponding increase in the FTE figure of 409.2 (previous year: 365.4) was the cause of the increase, while the lower expenses for performance-related bonuses compared with the same period in the previous year had the opposite effect. Other operating income increased to €9.4 million (previous-year period: €1.8 million) was mainly driven by the reversal of provisions for warranties that were no longer needed. Other operating expenses fell to €12.5 million in the period under review (previous-year period: €13.1 million), mainly due to lower warranty expenses. Depreciation and amortisation was €2.4 million (previous-year period: €2.3 million).

Share of results of joint ventures

The adjusted results from investments accounted for using the equity method of €1.5 million (previous-year period: €2.5 million) was almost entirely attributable to the construction activities of the sales from the Berlin Friedenauer Höhe joint ventures in the previous year.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)

Adjusted earnings before interest and tax fell to €35.9 million, mainly due to the disproportionately higher material expenses (previous-year period: €41.1 million).

EBIT TABLE 007

6M 2022 6M 2021 Change
EBIT 33.2 35.1 – 5.4%
+ effects from purchase price allocations 7.8 4.9 59.2%

+ effects from share deal agreements – 4.2 2.2 n/a
EBIT adjusted 35.9 41.1 – 12.7%
EBIT margin adjusted 13.4% 15.8%

Investment and financial result

Adjusted income from investments fell in the period under review to €0 million (previous-year period: €0.1 million).

The reported financial result improved in the financial year to – €8.4 million (previous-year period: – €8.8 million). The reduction in interest expenses is mainly attributable to the decrease in gross debt in previous years.

Other Information

The adjusted financial result also improved to – €7.5 million (previous-year period: – €7.6 million). It includes reclassifications of capitalised interest from project financing prior to the start of sales in the amount of €0.9 million (previous-year period: €1.2 million), which reduced the adjusted project costs by the same amount.

Earnings before tax (EBT)

Adjusted earnings before tax decreased to €28.5 million due to the disproportionate increase in the cost of materials (previous-year period: €33.5 million).

EBT TABLE 008

Earnings after tax and after minority interests

The non-controlling interests in adjusted earnings after tax amounted to – €0.9 million (previous-year period: – €2.4 million).

1 Items have been adjusted: Term deposits have been allocated to liquid assets due to short- to medium-term availability, and financial liabilities allocated on the basis of their use in corporate finance or project financing.

Net assets The total assets of the Instone Group increased to €1,681.2 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: €1,520.8 million). This was mainly attributable to the increase in inventories and liquid assets.

As at 30 June 2022, inventories had risen to €925.7 million (31 December 2021: €843.7 million). This increase in inventories is mainly the result of the purchase of new land for future residential project developments. As at 30 June 2022, acquisition costs and incidental acquisition costs for land amounting to €681.0 million (31 December 2021: €631.9 million) were included in inventories.

Receivables from customers for work-in-progress (gross contract assets) already sold and valued at the current completion level of development rose to €1,000.6 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: €858.6 million) due to the increased completion of work-in-progress. Advance payments received from customers amounted to €665.3 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: €506.6 million). The increase reflects the progress made in construction in the financial year linked to advance payments from customers.

Other Information

Trade receivables fell to €1.6 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: €48.2 million). This decline is mainly due to agreed payments for property sales made in December 2021.

The shares accounted for using the equity method, which also included investments in project companies, rose in the first six months of 2022 from €30.8 million to €41.3 million as a result of a capital injection into our Stuttgart joint venture for the "Europaviertel" project and the construction progress of project developments in other joint ventures.

Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits of €213.4 million (31 December 2021: €151.0 million) increased mainly as a result of the expansion of project financing. As at the reporting date, the term deposits amounted to a total of €80.0 million (31 December 2021: €20.0 million) and had a maturity of more than three months.

Non-current financial liabilities increased to €325.1 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: €220.9 million). During the same period, current financial liabilities rose to €175.4 million (31 December 2021: €169.6 million). The increase in financial liabilities entirely resulted from the increased utilisation of project financing lines in line with the scheduled construction progress of our projects.

Trade payables fell during the first six months of 2022 to €110.4 million (31 December 2021: €125.1 million) and mainly included the services provided by contractors.

The increase in other current liabilities to €372.3 million (31 December 2021: €292.4 million) resulted mainly from advance payments received for the "Westville" project in the amount of €263.2 million (31 December 2021: €241.4 million) and liabilities from government grants in the amount of €91.3 million (31 December 2021: €29.8 million).

The equity ratio as at 31 March 2022 was 33.8% (31 December 2021: 38.9%). As at the reporting date, group equity included 810,038 treasury shares with acquisition costs of €11.4 million.

Leverage increased slightly compared with 31 December 2021, but remains at a low level.

The increased net debt due to financing-related costs from the project business and the lower result increased leverage slightly to 1.8 times the adjusted EBITDA. At the same time, the ratio of net debt to balance sheet inventories, contract assets and contract liabilities improved to 23.0% (31 December 2021: 20.1%).

Financial position

In the first six months of 2022, the utilisation of corporate financing lines remained unchanged at €197.5 million (31 December 2021: €197.5 million). Utilisation of project-financing lines rose to €298.0 million (31 December 2021: €190.9 million). The total funding available, then amounting to €968.8 million (31 December 2021: €612.1 million) increased in the financial year due to the conclusion of new conventional project financing. As at 30 June 2022, loan amounts totalling €601.3 million (31 December 2021: €295.6 million) were available from project financing and €367.5 million (31 December 2021: €316.5 million) from corporate finance.

The balance sheet liabilities from corporate financing valued at the current repayment amount rose to €202.2 million in the first six months of the 2022 financial year (31 December 2021: €199.1 million). Recognised liabilities from project-related financing increased to €298.3 million (31 December 2021: €191.4 million). Recognised total liabilities from financing operations thus increased to €500.5 million at the reporting date (31 December 2021: €390.5 million). The current project financing included in this is comprised of option agreements for extension.

The maturities of the non-discounted repayment amounts are as follows:

The cash flow from operations of the Instone Group of €19.5 million in the first half of 2022 (previous-year period: €146.2 million) was essentially due to the increased payment flows to suppliers for current projects with simultaneous purchase price payments and land acquisition taxes for land plots totalling €70.7 million (previous-year period: €45.8 million).

The operating cash flow, adjusted for payments for land, in the period under review was €90.2 million (previous-year period: €192.0 million).

1 Net working capital is made up of inventories, contract assets and trade receivables less contract liabilities and trade payables.

Cash flow from investing activities in the first six months of 2022 amounted to –€76.1million (previous-year period: €2.6 million). This was mainly due to new short-term deposits in the amount of €60.0 million and the investment in the capital of our joint venture for the "Europaviertel" project, Stuttgart, amounting to €8.5 million.

The cash flow from financing activities as at 30 June 2022 stood at €59.0 million (previous-year period: – €103.7 million). This was mainly due to the dividend payment of €28.8 million and the net take-up of finance facilities in the amount of €105.3 million. This includes payments received from new finance facilities taken out in the amount of €138.2 million, and repayments for terminated finance facilities in the amount of €32.9 million.

As at 30 June 2022, financial resources excluding term deposits increased to €133.4 million (31 December 2021: €131.0 million).

The uncertainty among private and institutional investors, which was noticeable in the Q1 quarterly report in 2022 as a result of the changed financing environment due to increased equity shares for private real estate financing and increased interest rates, had a significant impact on the sales process in the second quarter of 2022. At €145.6 million and 287 units, the volume of sales contracts achieved is therefore below the originally anticipated speed of sales. The sales increase in Q2 2022 in individual unit sales was almost halved compared with Q1 2022, meaning that the sales activities in our projects with individual unit sales led to a volume of €115 million and 239 units. Beyond the investor sales realised in the first quarter of 2022 – the "Lagarde 8" projects and the sale of a day care centre in the "Parkresidenz" project – there were no further investor sales in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in the sales volume in the area of investor goods mainly resulted from purchase price adjustments depending on building cost indexing.

The aforementioned sales effects for Q2 2022 also essentially describe the lower volume of sales contracts in the period under review compared with the previous year (€207.7 million). In the comparative consideration of the sales units of 287 as at 30 June 2022 and of 541 units as at 30 June 2021, it should be taken into account that the number of sales in 2021 includes a non-recurring effect from the consolidation of the plans for our "Schönhof-Viertel, Frankfurt" project in the amount of 186 sales units.

The realised volume of sales contracts of around 80% as at 30 June 2022 was mainly focused on the most important metropolitan regions of Germany. Around 20% is located in other prosperous medium-class cities.

The sales supply of our individual sales projects on the market was increased in comparison with the first quarter of 2022 (248 residential units) and stood at 326 residential units with an expected revenue volume of €225 million. The increase in the sales supply can mainly be explained by the start of sales of two sub-projects of the "Parkstadt Leipzig" project, the start of sales of "Fuchsgarten" in Nuremberg-Boxdorf and the continued successful sale of several units from the existing sales portfolio.

In addition to the changes in the financing environment described above compared with the previous year and the resulting reluctance to purchase, Instone is examining the bottlenecks caused in particular by the Russian attack on Ukraine and increases in construction costs for each project that is ready for sales. In individual cases, this may lead to delays in the start of sales for individual sales properties and sales decisions in the case of institutional sales. This will also have an impact on the volume of sales contracts and the sales supply on the market over the course of the year.

Development of the project portfolio as at 30/06/2022

As at 30 June 2022, Instone Real Estate's project portfolio comprised 54 projects, from which we then anticipated a total volume of sales contracts of €7,727.4 million1 , representing an increase from that of 31 December 2021 (€7,500.0 million). In the second quarter of 2022, two new projects with an expected revenue volume of €185.4 million were acquired. In addition to the "Wendenschlossstraße" property in Berlin, which was removed from the portfolio calculation at the end of the first quarter of 2022 following its handover to the investor, further completions were successfully implemented in the second quarter of 2022 with the "St. Marienkrankenhaus" project in Frankfurt am Main and the "Bleichertwerken" project in Leipzig, and were therefore removed from the project portfolio. The existing projects also resulted in realised and expected revenue increases of approximately €249 million due to the further consolidation of the plans and changes to the sales concepts and increases in sales prices as a result of indexing.

In addition to the supply bottlenecks resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, the increase in energy and material prices fuelled by the Russian attack on Ukraine as well as further supply bottlenecks, if evident and expected, were taken into account in the valuation of the project portfolio in Q2 2022. The price developments currently assumed on the sales and cost side result in an expected project gross profit margin on the project portfolio excluding the major "Westville" project in Frankfurt of around 24% as at the reporting date (31 December 2021: around 25%).2

Around 13% is attributable to other prosperous medium-sized cities.

Other Information

Based on the continuous growth of our project portfolio in recent years, the majority of our ongoing projects were in the "pre-sale" stage of development.

The comparison with 31 December 2021 showed a slight decline in the "under construction" category by approx. 1.1 percentage points, which can mainly be explained by the completion and withdrawal of the "St. Marienkrankenhaus" project from the project portfolio and the opposing effects from the start of construction in nine projects. Accordingly, the "pre-construction" category, mainly due to the aforementioned construction starts, fell from 12.7% at the end of the year to approx. 10.4%.

Compared with the 2021 annual financial statements (55.8%), the "pre-sale" category increased to 59.1%. The main drivers of this are the investment approvals and additions to the project portfolio for the "Nuremberg-Lichtenreuth", "Hainburg, Am Kaiserberg" and "Nauen" projects in the first half of the year. The successful sale of a "Lagarde 8" sub-project in Bamberg and the initiation of marketing for the "Fuchsgarten, Nuremberg-Boxdorf" project and two construction fields of the "Parkresidenz" project had a negative impact in this category.

In addition, the preceding diagram shows that, as at 30 June 2022 we have already sold approximately 37% of the anticipated overall revenue volume of the project portfolio. In terms of the anticipated revenue volume, approximately 92% of the "under construction" and "pre-construction" projects were sold as at 30 June 2022.

In addition to the 54 projects, Instone Real Estate's project portfolio will be supplemented by three further projects that will be realised in joint ventures. Overall, a total volume of sales of over €1 billion (Instone share approx. €500 million) and the development of approximately 1,800 residential units was expected for these projects. Successful progress towards realisation was achieved last year through the sale of three project sections of the "Friedenauer Höhe" quarter in Berlin. In addition to the sale to Quantum Immobilien KVG at the beginning of 2021, three construction fields with 396 rental apartments were sold to DWS at the end of 2021 together with OFB as part of a forward deal. Both the start of construction and the start of sales for another construction site in the southern area took place in the second quarter.

Adjusted revenue

In the first fix months of 2022, we achieved adjusted revenue of €268.0 million (previous year: €260.5 million). The following projects contributed significantly to the adjusted revenues in the period under review:

Key projects revenue realisation (adjusted) TABLE 018

Niederkasseler Lohweg Dusseldorf 12.0
S'LEDERER Schorndorf 11.1

The building blocks of success for realising the adjusted revenues were steady marketing progress and a further development process in the structural implementation of our projects. For this reason, in addition to the marketing progress achieved, the start of construction and progress in the projects under construction, in particular, contributed to the generation of revenue. Construction started in nine projects in the period under review. This included a second neighbourhood section with two construction fields in the "Schönhof-Viertel" project in Frankfurt. Around 210 apartments, a student hostel and a four-to five-group children's nursery will be built on the two areas already sold to the Nassauische Heimstätte group in 2019. Construction began on the penultimate sub-project of the "Wohnen im Hochfeld" neighbourhood in Düsseldorf-Unterbach, with around 60 apartments, 78% of which have already been sold in

individual sales. In addition, in the "Neckar.Au Viertel" project in Rottenburg, construction started on the site sold to The Liebenau Foundation in late 2021. The concept provided for the construction of inclusive living space over a floorspace of around 1,630 m². Last year, the branch in Leipzig started selling and constructing the first construction areas for the "Parkresidenz" neighbour hood and sales of two further construction fields started in the second quarter of 2022. The first six months of 2022 also saw the start of construction work on further construction phases for a total of around 250 residential units.

The development of projects already under construction is solid, but there is a negative development with regard to the planned progress of some projects. The material and supply bottlenecks caused by the attack on Ukraine, which were already noticeable in Q1 2022, are increasingly delaying the progress of ongoing projects. Furthermore, the increase in the prices of materials and energy, which has been significant in some cases, continues to have a noticeable impact on our construction costs. As a result, both the sales targets for 2022 and the gross profit margin of the project portfolio have been negatively impacted.

We continue to monitor all developments on the market and in our projects closely and compensate for them as far as possible by making the appropriate adjustments to relevant processes. The handover processes for the projects already completed so far ran according to schedule.

At completion, Instone Real Estate projects reported a 100% sales ratio in almost all cases. In the case of fully completed projects, our portfolio does not contain any more than 1% of unsold units.

Risk and opportunities report

At Instone Real Estate, risk and opportunities management is an integral part of the Group-wide system of corporate governance. For a detailed overview of our risk and opportunities management processes as well as the risk and opportunities situation, please refer to the "Risk and opportunities report" on pages 144–160, of the 2021 Annual Report.

The risk and opportunities situation developed unfavourably for the Instone Group in comparison to our disclosure in the 2021 management report, due in particular to the direct and indirect effects of the Russian occupation of Ukraine.

The material risks are presented below.

In order to counteract the high inflation in the European Union, the Council of the European Central Bank raised the key interest rate for the first time in eleven years in 2022. The resulting historically strong rise in interest rates for real estate financing could adversely affect the affordability of residential real estate for individual customer groups and a general increase in uncertainty among investors could have a further dampening effect on demand. In addition, our projects are usually financed by a mix of bank loans and equity. The now rising interest rates mean higher financing costs for our projects. Instone Real Estate considers the impact in the short to medium term to be relevant in the interest rate risk sub-category.

Instone Real Estate still considers the project implementation/construction risk sub-category to be relevant and has reassessed it against the backdrop of the Russian attack on Ukraine. This conflict results in risks with regard to the speed of construction, as it places an additional strain on supply chains, both as a result of the (EU) sanctions against Russia and the destruction in Ukraine. In addition, this crisis is fuelling the increase in energy and material prices.

The changes in the risk and opportunities situation were continuously monitored, assessed and, if necessary, incorporated into the ongoing forecast. From the current perspective, there were no identifiable risks that risked jeopardising the continued existence of the Instone Group.

Outlook

Against the backdrop of the deterioration in the framework conditions for the project business caused by Russia's attack on Ukraine, the Management Board suspended the forecast for the current 2022 financial year in May.

Instone's industry environment is characterised by significantly higher construction costs, in particular due to rising costs of materials and energy. There was a marked exacerbation of the shortage of material availability, which could have negative effects on construction speed and revenue recognition.

The general increase in inflationary tendencies has also triggered a sharp rise in mortgage interest rates. This may adversely affect the affordability of Instone products for individual groups of buyers, increase the short-term uncertainty for customers overall, and therefore lead to a slowdown in the speed of sales.

Based on the business development in the first half of 2022 and updated planning, the Management Board has derived a new forecast for the current 2022 financial year.

The Management Board now expects the financial and operating performance indicators to develop as follows:

Forecast TABLE 019
In millions of euros
2022
Adjusted revenue 600 to 675
Adjusted gross profit margin ≥ 25 %
Adjusted earnings after tax 40 to 50
Volume of sales contracts around 350

The forecast is based on the assumptions that the current slowdown in the speed of sales to private individuals will continue, that the conclusion of transactions with institutional investors could largely be postponed to the next financial year, that costs for construction materials will remain at the current high level and that material availability will remain limited until the end of the year.

Basis of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Basis for preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Instone Real Estate and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim reporting" and the German Accounting Standard (DRS) 16 "Semi-annual financial reporting".

They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the related Interpretations (IFRIC) of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as they applied on the balance sheet date, in accordance with Regulation No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the application of international accounting standards in the European Union and the supplementary disclosures in accordance with Section 315e HGB.

The preparation of the interim report requires management to make a series of assumptions and estimates. This may lead to discrepancies between the values shown in the interim report and the actual values.

Various items from the condensed consolidated statement of financial position and the condensed consolidated income statement are combined into one item for a better overview. The condensed consolidated income statement is prepared according to the nature of expense method.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in euros, which is the functional currency and the reporting currency of the Group. All amounts are expressed in thousands of euros (€ thousand) unless otherwise stated. Commercial rounding may lead to immaterial rounding differences in the totals.

First-time application of accounting standards in the current financial year

In recent years, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has made various changes to existing IFRSs and published new IFRSs as well as Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC). In addition, the IASB has published amendments to existing standards as part of the Annual Improvement Project (AIP). The primary aim of the collective standards is to clarify inconsistencies and formulations.

The changes to the accounting standards that came into effect on 1 January 2022 have no impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Scope of consolidation

As at 30 June 2022, in addition to Instone Real Estate Group SE, a total of 18 (31 December 2021: 18) domestic and two (31 December 2021: two) European foreign companies are part of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and are fully consolidated.

As at 30 June 2022, eight joint ventures (31 December 2021: eight) and one associated company (31 December 2021: one) were valued using the equity method.

In total, six group entities (31 December 2021: six) had a low business volume or no business operation and were not consolidated for reasons of materiality. They are reported under other investments.

Segment reporting

Operating segment reporting in accordance with IFRS 8 is based on the management approach and thus corresponds to the management and reporting system that Instone Real Estate uses for its segments. Instone Real Estate operates in only one business segment and one geographical segment and generates revenue and holds assets mainly in Germany.

However, the internal reporting for the single business segment differs from the figures in IFRS accounting. In its internal reporting, Instone Real Estate focuses in particular on the development of housing projects. For this reason, Instone Real Estate conducts segment reporting for this one business segment.

Internal corporate governance for this segment is based in particular on the internal reporting system for the presentation of key developments relating to real estate and financial key performance indicators, supplemented by an examination of key project milestones and liquidity development.

Instone Real Estate manages its segment through the adjusted results of operations using key performance indicators adjusted revenue, adjusted gross profit and adjusted earnings after interest and tax.

Adjusted revenue

The performance of the business segment is reported via adjusted revenue on the basis of revenue recognition over time. Adjusted revenue is calculated by adding the revenue recognition from share deals in the same way as from asset deals, without the effects from purchase price allocations.

Adjusted gross profit

The adjusted gross profit is used to analyse the project-based company performance and is determined on the basis of the adjusted revenue less the cost of materials, changes in inventories, other operating income after subtracting the cost of materials, indirect distribution costs and capitalised interest, but excluding effects from purchase price allocations and share deals.

Adjusted earnings after tax

Adjusted earnings after tax is calculated on the basis of adjusted gross profit less platform costs, consisting of staff costs, other operating income and expenses, depreciation and amortisation, income from investments and other earnings, financial result and income taxes, but is also adjusted for the effects from purchase price allocations and share deals, as well as any nonrecurring effects, where applicable. The results of joint ventures are included in adjusted earnings before interest and tax, as future earnings of project companies to be recorded under this item are to be allocated to operating earnings.

The effects of the adjusted results of operations are derived from the following:

Share deal effects

The project companies Westville 2 GmbH, Westville 3 GmbH, Westville 4 GmbH and Westville 5 GmbH are commercially conceived as asset management companies and constitute one major project in Frankfurt am Main. Instone Real Estate has already sold these project companies in the form of a share deal with the obligation to build a residential complex. In the adjusted results of operations, the overall "Westville" project is managed in the same way as the other projects in the Instone Group, with revenue recognition over time in accordance with IFRS 15. These companies are valued and included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 2. The effects from this different valuation are reflected in the revenues of €17,482 thousand (previous-year period: €20,129 thousand) and project costs of – €21,662 thousand (previous-year period: – €17,912 thousand). In the period under review, an adjustment was made to determine the tax expense for share deal effects on the expected minimum taxation of the companies' sales revenues.

Effects from purchase price allocations

Due to the first-time consolidation of Instone Real Estate Development GmbH in 2014 and Instone Real Estate Leipzig GmbH in 2015 as well as the business activities of S&P Stadtbau GmbH in the 2020 financial year, as at 30 June 2022 inventories and contract assets still included write-ups of €23,580 thousand (31 December 2021: €31,358 thousand) from purchase price allocations. The ongoing amortisation of these purchase price allocations on the basis of the progressive implementation of the projects included in these initial consolidations is adjusted for internal reporting. The adjustment for the amortisation of purchase price allocations was attributable as follows: €932 thousand (previousyear period: – €17 thousand) to revenue, €0 thousand (previous-year period: €0 thousand) to cost of materials and €6,846 thousand (previous-year period: €4,940 thousand) to changes in inventories. Based on current estimates, the Instone Group expects these effects to expire in 2024.

Reclassifications and non-recurring effects

As at 30 June 2022, indirect sales expenses in the amount of €1,083 thousand (previous-year period: €566 thousand) as well as material cost-related other operating income in the amount of – €3,852 thousand (previous-year period: €0 thousand) were allocated to project costs. The adjustment of the capitalised interest in the changes in inventories of €938 thousand (previous-year period: €1,199 thousand) burdened the project costs.

In the following table, the differences arising from the valuation of the individual data are carried over from the adjusted results of operations into the consolidated reporting:

Other information

With the short-term financial instruments accounted for at amortised costs, the carrying amount corresponds to the fair value, due to the short remaining term to maturity. In the case of non-current financial liabilities, the carrying amount of a part corresponds to the fair value due to the variable interest rate. A fair value was determined for the fixed-interest non-current liabilities, which is €12,478 thousand less than the carrying amount as at 30 June 2022. As at 31 December 2021: the fair value exceeded the carrying amount by €12,654 thousand. Non-current liabilities fall under fair value hierarchy level 2. The fair value was determined using a cash value method using company-specific current interest rates derived from the market. Long-term financial receivables are accounted for at amortised cost. Their fair value differs from the carrying amount by –€687 thousand. These bonds fall under fair value hierarchy level 2 and were determined using a cash value method taking into account current market interest rates.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements – comprising the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2022, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six month period from 1 January to 30 June 2022 as well as selected explanatory notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements – and the interim group management report for the six month period from 1 January to 30 June 2022 of Instone Real Estate Group SE, Essen/Germany, that are part of the half-year financial report under Section 115 German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the executive directors. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and of the interim group management report in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Reviews of Financial Statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain a certain level of assurance to preclude through critical evaluation that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in

all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU or that the interim group management report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and to analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed an audit, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Instone Real Estate Group SE, Essen/Germany, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU or that the interim group management report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.

Forward-looking statements

This interim group report contains forward-looking statements that are based on current management plans, goals and forecasts. However, these statements relate only to findings that are available as at the date this condensed consolidated interim report was prepared. Management does not guarantee that these forward-looking statements will necessarily materialise. Actual future development and the results actually achieved are subject to various risks and can therefore deviate significantly from the forward-looking statements. Several risk factors cannot be influenced by Instone Real Estate and therefore cannot be conclusively assessed in advance. These include changes in the economic and competitive environment, legislation, fluctuations in interest or exchange rates, legal disputes and investigative proceedings and the availability of financial resources. These and other risks are listed in the 2020 consolidated report, which is combined with the company management report, as well as in this condensed consolidated interim report. Furthermore, business development and economic results may also be encumbered by other factors. Following publication of this consolidated interim report, there is no intention to in any way update the forward-looking statements made herein or to adjust them to events and developments.
