The LEG portfolio can be divided into three market clusters using a scoring system: high-growth markets, stable markets and higheryielding markets. The indicators for the scoring system are described in the annual report 2021.
The portfolio is spread over around 270 locations, most of which are in LEG's home state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition, properties are held in the federal states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The property portfolio as of 30 June 2022 included 166,628 residential units, 1,566 commercial units and 45,965 garages and parking spaces. The average flat size was 63 square metres, and the average monthly rent was EUR 6.25 per square metre.
The in-place rent on a like-for-like basis was EUR 6.26 per square metre/ month on 30 June 2022, an increase of 2.6% within twelve months. In the like-for-like figures, 22,656 residential units were not taken into account, as they were not yet part of the portfolio in June 2021.
In the free-financed portfolio, which accounts for 80% of the properties, the in-place rent rose by 3.2% year-on-year to EUR 6.65 per square metre (like-for-like). Within this segment, the high-growth markets showed an increase of 3.4% to EUR 7.68 per square metre (like-for-like). In the stable markets, the in-place rent reached an average of EUR 6.34 per square metre (plus 2.9%, like-for-like). The higher-yielding markets showed a significant growth of 3.3% to EUR 6.04 per square metre (like-for-like).
In the rent-restricted portfolio, which includes 20% of LEG's properties, the average monthly rent increased slightly by 2 cents to EUR 5.00 per square metre (like-for-like). The next regular cost rent adjustment will take place in January 2023.
As at 30 June 2022, the EPRA vacancy rate on a like-for-like basis was again reduced in all three market segments and fell by 30 basis points to 2.2 % (like-for-like) compared to the previous year's reporting date. In the high-growth markets, the EPRA vacancy rate was a low 1.5% as at the reporting date, in the stable markets it averaged 2.1% and in the higher-yielding markets it was 3.2% (always on a like-for-like basis).

| Net profit or loss for the period | 905.7 | 938.9 | 1,060.2 | 1,063.3 |
Net rental and lease income decreased by EUR 24.1 million or 9.0% to EUR 242.3 million, which is mainly due to the amortisation of goodwill in the amount of EUR 58.9 million as a result of higher interest rates.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 13.5 % to EUR 296.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 74.8 % in the reporting period (comparative period: 77.2%).
In the reporting period the decline in operating earnings by EUR 11.9 million is mainly due to the EUR 24.1 million lower result from net rental and lease income and the EUR 48.5 million increase in administrative and other expenses. The raise in administrative and other expenses is essentially related to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 million. This was offset by EUR 59.0 million higher net income from the remeasurement of investment properties.
The decrease in net income from investment securities and other equity investments to EUR –109.6 million resulted in the amount of EUR – 115.1 million from the valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N.V. at fair value.
In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bonds in the amount of EUR 154.0 million (comparative period: EUR 14.2 million).
Current income tax expenses of EUR – 0.5 million were recorded affecting net income (comparative period: EUR – 2.2 million) in the reporting period.

In the reporting period, the net rental and lease income decreased by EUR 24.1 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development is the amortisation of goodwill in the amount of EUR 58.9 million due to higher interest rates. In addition an increase in the number of employees mainly in connection with acquisitions made in 2021 led to an increase in staff costs of EUR 10.0 million. The allowances on rent receivables increased by EUR 4.7 million, in particular due to the increased volume of operating expenses that have not yet been invoiced. This was countered by the rise in net cold rents by EUR 57.7 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.6% in the reporting period.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly to 78.5% from 81.3% in the same period of the previous year.
The EPRA (EPRA Public Real Estate Association) vacancy rate on a like-for-like basis has improved compared to the comparative period and stands at 2.2% as at 30 June 2022 (2.5% as at 30 June 2021).

The EPRA capex splits the capitalised expenditure of the reporting period in comparison to the comparative period and reconciles to investments for investment properties. The value-adding modernisation work, divided into development (new development on own land in an amount of EUR 10.5 million) and investments in investment properties (EUR 150.4 million), increased by 9.5 % to EUR 160.9 million in the reporting period. Due to the increase in acquisitions to EUR 206.2 million, the EPRA Capex amounted to EUR 367.1 million in the reporting period.

Disposals of investment property increased in the reporting period. Income from the disposal of investment property amounted to EUR 33.7 million and relate mainly to objects, which were reported as assets held for sale and were remeasured up to the agreed property value as of 31 December 2021.
| In addition to value enhancing modernisations, the increase in |
|---|
| maintenance expenses by EUR 4.3 million to EUR 55.5 million led |
| to total investments in the reporting period of EUR 223.3 million |
| (comparative period: EUR 198.2 million). For the calculation of |
| the total investments per square metre, mainly the investments |
| for new construction activities, public safety measures for portfo |
| lio acquisitions as well as capitalised own services were elimi |
| nated from the total investments. Adjusted, total investments |
| amount to EUR 197.6 million and the average total investment |
| per square metre is EUR 18.31 euros (comparative period: EUR |
| 19.14). The adjusted capitalisation ratio was reduced to 72.8% in |
| the reporting period (comparative period: 75.1%). |
Net income from remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR 1,169.3 million in the reporting period. Based on the property portfolio as at the beginning of the financial year (including the remeasured acquisitions), this corresponds to an increase of 6.1%.
The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) was EUR 1,828 per square metre as at 30 June 2022 including acquisitions (31 December 2021: EUR 1,706 per square metre).
The increase in the value of the portfolio is the result of the further increase in rents as well as further reduction in the discount and capitalisation rates.
The remaining real estate inventory held as at 30 June 2022 amounted to EUR 0.1 million is land under development.

The increase in other operating expenses is mainly attributable to higher consultancy fees. Higher depreciation and amortisation expenses are due to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 Million. The adjusted administrative expenses increased by EUR 1.6 million or 8.9% in the first six months compared to the same period in the previous year.

The interest expenses increased in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period in the previous year by EUR – 8.0 million to EUR – 65.1 million. The rise in interest expenses is mainly due to issued corporate bonds after the comparative period.
Year-on-year a further reduction in the average interest rate to 1.15% was achieved as at 30 June 2022 (1.24% as at 30 June 2021) based on an average term of around 7.06 years (7.66 years as at 30 June 2021).
The decrease in net income from other financial assets and other investments to EUR –109.6 million resulted in the amount of EUR –115.1 million from the valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N.V. at fair value.
In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bond in the amount of EUR 154.0 million (comparative period: EUR 14.2 million).

FFO I is a key financial performance indicator of LEG Group. LEG Group distinguishes between FFO I (not including net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex). The calculation methods for these key figures can be found in the glossary in the annual report 2021.
An effective Group tax rate of 20.4% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 19.2%). Current tax expenses include with EUR – 0.2 million income taxes relating to other periods. These relate to the release of a corporate tax provision for 2019.
FFO I, FFO II and AFFO were calculated as follows in the reporting period and the same period of the previous year:

At EUR 241.4 million, FFO I was 10.6 % higher in the reporting period than in the same period of the previous year (EUR 218.2 million). In particular, this increase is attributable to the positive impact from the rise in net cold rents including the effects of the concluded acquisitions.
Due to rising interest expenses, the interest coverage ratio (ratio of adjusted EBITDA to cash interest expense) decreased from 619 % in the same period of the previous year to 548% in the reporting period.

A fair value measurement of investment properties was conducted as at 30 June 2022. The resulting valuation effect of EUR 1,169.3 million (comparative period: EUR 1,110.3 million) was the main driver for the increase in this item compared to 31 December 2021. Furthermore, additions from acquisitions with EUR 281.0 million and capitalisation of property modernisation measures with EUR 165.1 million contributed to the increase of investment properties.
The deferral of prepaid operating costs with EUR 55.9 million contribute significantly to the development of the receivables and other current assets.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from EUR 675.6 million to EUR 328.9 million compared to the same date of the previous year. This development was mainly due to the cash flow from operating activities (EUR 191.0 million), the utilisation of new loans (EUR 296.1 million) and the issuance of a corporate bond in three tranches to finance investments with EUR 1,482.4 million. In contrast, there are cash outflows from investing activities (EUR 703.1 million), scheduled and unscheduled repayments with EUR 1,421.1 million including repayment of bridge financing in the amount of EUR 1,400.0 million as well as the cash dividend for the financial year 2021 to shareholders in the amount of EUR 183.3 million.
The development of equity since 31 December 2021 is mainly characterised by the net profit for the period (EUR 1,122.2 million), the dividend payment to shareholders (EUR –296.7 million) as well as the capital increase in connection with the stock dividend (EUR 113.2 million).
Within non-current financial liabilities the obligations increased through the issued bond in three tranches by EUR 1,500.0 million. Current financial liabilities reduced among other things due to the repayment of bridge financing for the acquisition of the Adler portfolio by 1,400.0 million. Driven by the fair value measurement, deferred tax liabilities shown in other non-current liabilities increased by EUR 271.0 million as at 30 June 2022. The decrease in other current liabilities is mainly due to the measurement of pension obligations as well as derivatives for the convertible bond issued in 2017.
Further key metrics relevant in the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the relevant key figure. The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2021 annual report.
LEG Immo reports an EPRA NTA of EUR 11,953.7 million or EUR 161.30 per share as at 30 June 2022. Deferred taxes on investment property are adjusted by the amount attributable to LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis.

Net debt at the end of the reporting period is slightly higher compared with 31 December 2021. The fair value measurement of investment properties resulted in an unchanged loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 42.1 % as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: 42.1%).

The net financial liabilities are reduced by the short-term deposits, the real estate assets are supplemented by the participations in other real estate companies. The figure as at 31 December 2021 was adjusted accordingly.
A net profit for the period of EUR 1,060.2 million was realised in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 1,063.3 million). Equity amounted to EUR 9,891.2 million at the reporting date (31 December 2020: EUR 8,953.0 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 45.1% (31 December 2020: 43.6%).

In the reporting period, the cashflow from operating activities benefited from increased net cold rents also from previous portfolio acquisitions. Due to increased interest and tax payments as well as special one-off effects the cashflow from operating activities improved slightly.
Acquisitions and modernisation work on the existing portfolio with cash payments of EUR 384.9 million and EUR 61.6 million for owner-occupied property contributed to the cash flow from investing activities. In addition, payments from sold assets in the amount of EUR 14.3 million, repayments of short-term financial investments of EUR 25.0 million and the acquisition of further shares in Brack Capital of EUR 293.3 million resulted into a cashflow from investing activities of EUR –703.1 million.
In the first half of 2022, the main drivers of the cashflow from financing activities amounting to EUR 165.4 million were the issuance of a corporate bond in three tranches (EUR 1,482.4 million) and in the opposite direction the repayments of bank loans (EUR – 1,421.1 million), in particular a bridge financing in the amount of EUR 1,400.0 million. In addition, there were new loans utilised (EUR 296.1 million) and the dividend payment to shareholders (EUR 183.3 million).
LEG Group's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.
The risks and opportunities faced by LEG in its operating activities were described in detail in the annual report 2021. To date, no further significant risks that would lead to a different assessment have arisen or become discernible in the fiscal year 2022.
With regard to increased energy costs, especially for gas deliveries, there is a risk of higher payment defaults on the part of tenants. However, the extent of potential payment defaults is currently not considered to be significant. In view of the uncertain supply situation and possible further price increases, increasing payment defaults cannot be ruled out for the future.
Based on the business performance in the first six months of 2022, LEG believes it is well positioned overall to confirm its earnings targets for the financial year 2022. With the release of the interim report as at 30 June 2022, LEG specified investments will be less than EUR 46 per sqm.

LEG Immobilien SE, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "LEG Immo"), its subsidiaries, especially LEG NRW GmbH, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "LEG") and the subsidiaries of the latter company (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "LEG Group") are among the largest residential companies in Germany. On 30 June 2022, LEG Group held a portfolio of 168,194 (30 June 2021: 146,237) residential and commercial units on 30 June 2022 (168,019 (30 June 2021: 146,221) units excluding IFRS 5 objects).
LEG Group engages in three core activities as an integrated property company: the optimisation of the core business, the expansion of the value chain as well as the portfolio strengthening.
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all figures have been rounded to millions of Euro (EUR million). For technical reasons, tables and references can include rounded figures that differ from the exact mathematical values.
LEG Immo prepared the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim reporting, as endorsed in the EU, and their interpretation by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Based on the option under IAS 34.10, the notes to the financial statements were presented in a condensed form. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited or subjected to an audit review.
LEG Group primarily generates income from the rental and letting of investment properties. Rental and lease business, in essence, is unaffected by seasonal and cyclical influences.
The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated financial statements of LEG Group are the same as those presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo as of 31 December 2021. These interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2022 should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021.
The LEG Immo has fully applied the new standards and interpretations that are mandatory from 1 January 2022. The extension of the exemption in IFRS 16 (Covid-19-related rent concessions) do not affect the LEG Group's lease accounting. The optional exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification was not applied at the LEG Group. There were no cases of rent being deferred or waived as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic for leases where the LEG Group is the lessee.
On 1 February 2022 Renowate GmbH (formerly Ökoconstruct Gesellschaft für energetische Sanierung mbH) was included in the consolidated financial statement for using the equity method.
On 14 December 2022 Youtilly GmbH (former pertus 150. GmbH) was acquired and consolidated for the first time as at 1 May 2022.
The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made that affect the recognition of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions and estimates particularly relate to the measurement of investment properties, the recognition and measurement of pension provisions, the recognition and measurement of other provisions, the measurement of financing liabilities, and the eligibility for recognition of deferred tax assets.
Although the management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are appropriate, any unforeseeable changes in these assumptions could impact the net assets, financial position and results of operations. The Covid-19 situation was taken into account in the discretionary decisions. There was no significant impact.
In view of the global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy and society, all current forecasts can be made only with a considerably higher degree of uncertainty. This applies particularly in the context of international links and interrelations between the financial markets, the real economy and political decisions, which each individually have an influence on the economic effects of the pandemic already, but when combined are impossible to assess with any certainty ex ante. The following sections are therefore based on the fundamental assumption that the Covid-19 pandemic represents a temporary phenomenon.
Supply and demand for housing will still be the decisive factors for future price development. In view of the rise in material and staff costs, the shortage of construction material and appropriately qualified staff, rising interest rates and increased requirements in terms of the energetic quality of new buildings combined with a reduction in state subsidies for new construction, it can be assumed that the construction activity will decline and that the existing demand overhang for affordable housing in Germany will widen. The supply deficit, which exists in many areas, is expected to widen and thus ensure that prices for affordable housing will continue to rise in the long term.
Increased energy costs and the CO2 tax are currently making themselves felt in the form of higher, general allowances for operating and heating costs. To ensure that these higher allowances do not ultimately result in a correspondingly higher bad debt loss, LEG is informing its tenants about potential savings opportunities, pointing out possible government assistance and increasingly offering installment payment models in the event of payment bottlenecks. Nonetheless, due to the uncertain supply situation and skyrocketing energy prices, more sharply rising payment defaults cannot be ruled out for the future.
No developments can be seen at present that would indicate higher vacancies. Despite a pandemic-driven difficult environment, new lettings develop positively and tenant terminations are on a stable low level. As in the financial crisis in 2008/2009, immigration from EU countries that are hit hard by the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic could increase again, thus creating additional demand for housing in the medium term. In the event of a severe recession, it could even prove to be an opportunity specifically for LEG Group that the company has a large number of affordable apartments and can thus benefit from increased demand for inexpensive housing in times of recession.
After carefully weighing up the information currently available at LEG Group, LEG came to the conclusion that the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the housing sector in Germany and the effects on the business performance and the intrinsic value of the real estate assets of LEG Group should be manageable. There could even be opportunities for LEG Group in some cases.
For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021.
Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022, oil prices have risen to USD 105 per barrel and gas prices have risen to 140 Euro per MwH as of 30 June 2022. At the same time, the German government, together with the European Union and NATO, decided on far-reaching sanctions against the Russian Federation, including the suspension of the commissioning of Nord Stream 2 and the exclusion of Russian banks from the international payment system SWIFT. In addition, various Western states have decided and implemented military and financial aid for Ukraine. Whether and to what extent further sanctions will be adopted or whether the conflict may intensify further cannot be assessed at present. As a consequence, the Federal Government has tried to reduce the import of fossil fuels from the Russian Federation with great emphasis. Considering the volume of the imported natural gas, the replacement of the Russian supply will take some time. Therefore, the Federal Government has reacted to the observable energy price increases with social policy measures, including the introduction of a one-off energy subsidy. Possible impacts on LEG's business model are currently not expected, assuming the sustained resumption of gas deliveries by Nord Stream 1 at the end of July.
In recent months, inflation expectations for Germany have increased significantly to 7.9% and for the Eurozone to 7.6% for 2022. This goes along with increased construction prices and higher energy costs. These developments have recently been further reinforced by the war in Ukraine. Higher construction prices may have a negative impact on the profitability of planned new construction projects and capex investments in LEG's existing portfolio. Higher energy costs are passed on to LEG's customers in their utility bills. In order to ease the burden on consumers, the Federal government passed various laws on 27 April 2022, paving the way for government transfers such as the energy price flat rate or a temporary reduction in the energy tax on fuels to counteract payment difficulties. In response to the rising inflation rate, the ECB raised the key interest rate to 0.5% on 21 July 2022. This expectation was already reflected on the capital market by rising interest rates and higher credit spreads. For example, the 5-year Euro swap rate has risen significantly since the end of December 2021 from 0.017% to 1.7910% on 30 June 2022. Due to the currently limited financing requirements as well as the sustained high demand for German residential properties, LEG does not expect any significant negative impact on its business model in the short term. In the medium and long term, increased interest rates and credit spreads may result in higher financing costs for LEG, reduce the profitability of investments, impact FFO and in perspective, also have a negative impact on property valuations. The exact effects cannot be predicted in concrete terms at present due to the highly dynamic nature of the situation.

On 30 June 2022, LEG Group held 166,628 apartments and 1,566 commercial units in its portfolio (168,019 units excluding IFRS 5 properties).

2 In addition, as at 31 December 2021, there are assets held for sale (IFRS 5) of EUR 37 million, which correspond to level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
With regard to the calculation methods, please see the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2021.
In addition, LEG Group's portfolio still includes land and buildings accounted for in accordance with IAS 16.
Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets included right of use leases in the amount of EUR 24.4 million as of 30 June 2022. The right of uses result from rented land and buildings, cars, heat contracting, measurement and reporting technology, IT peripheral devices as well as software. In the reporting period right of uses in the amount of EUR 1.6 million have been added.

In the reporting period, an impairment test was carried out for the five CGU groups bearing goodwill. The significant increase in interest rates in the first half of 2022 and the associated increase in the average total cost of capital has been identified as a triggering event in accordance with IAS 36.
The impairment test carried out resulted in an impairment loss of EUR 99.6 million, which led to a full write-down of the goodwill allocated to all goodwill-bearing CGUs. The impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the amount of EUR 58.9 million as depreciation and amortisation in cost of sales in connection with rental and lease income and in the amount of EUR 40.7 million as depreciation and amortisation in administrative and other expenses.
The CGU groups thus account for the following goodwill as of 30 June 2022:
On 29 December 2021, the LEG Group assumed a 100% stake in 13 affiliated companies from the Adler Group. At the time of acquisition, provisional goodwill of EUR 271.1 million was recognised, which was adjusted by EUR 67.4 million to EUR 203.7 million. There has not yet been an allocation to one or more cash-generating units. On the one hand, the final amount of goodwill has not yet been determined and, on the other hand, management has not yet completed the analysis on the distribution of expected synergies among the cash-generating units.
A uniform capitalisation rate of 4.0% (31 December 2021: 3.5%) was used for the CGUs analysed in the goodwill impairment test, representing a corresponding pre-tax capitalisation rate of 4.5% (31 December 2021: 3.7 %), taking into account a typical tax rate on EBIT of 31.2 %. A sustainable growth rate of 2.0% (31 December 2021: 2.0%) p. a. is assumed for all CGUs as LEG Group is able to pass on cost increases in full through rent increases. The recoverable amount for the CGU group "Vitus" is EUR 823.1 million (31 December 2021: EUR 1,134.2 million), for the CGU group "Wohnen like-for-like " EUR 12,894.1 million (31 December 2021: EUR 17,517.4 million), for the CGU group "Bismarck" EUR 339.9 million (31 December 2021: EUR 461.5 million), at the CGU group "Charlie" EUR 808.5 million (31 December 2021: EUR 1,120.3 million) and at the CGU group "Redwood" EUR 246.1 million (31 December 2021: EUR 329.0 million).
Key assumptions for the impairment tests are net cold rents, sustainable investments per square metre, the sustainable EBITDA margin as well as a capitalisation rate of 4.0% (31 December 2021: 3.5%) for all CGUs. These were as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of bank balances as well as money market funds.
Changes in the components of consolidated equity are shown in the statement of changes in consolidated equity.
Financing liabilities are composed as follows:
T32
| € million | 30.06.2022 | 31.12.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Financing liabilities from real estate financing | 9,132.9 | 8,767.8 |
| Financing liabilities from lease financing | 114.5 | 117.3 |
| Financing liabilities | 9,247.4 | 8,885.1 |
Financing liabilities from property financing serve the financing of investment properties.
The consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo reported financial liabilities from real estate financing of EUR 9,132.9 million as at 30 June 2022.
In the first half of 2022, the issuance of a corporate bond in three tranches with IFRS carrying amounts of EUR 496.9 million, EUR 495.8 million and EUR 497.2 million increased financial liabilities from real estate financing. In addition, loans in the amount of EUR 296.0 million were valued. Scheduled and unscheduled repayments of EUR 1,412.1 million and the amortisation of transaction costs had an opposite effect.
The financial liabilities from real estate financing include the following capital market instruments as of the reporting date:
| € million | IFRS carrying amount |
Nominal value |
|---|---|---|
| Convertible bond 2020/2028 | 529.0 | 550.0 |
| Convertible bond 2017/2025 | 393.3 | 400.0 |
| Bond 2022/2026 | 496.9 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2029 | 495.8 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2034 | 497.2 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2032 | 494.4 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2031 | 594.5 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2021/2033 | 595.0 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2019/2033 | 298.3 | 300.0 |
| Bond 2019/2027 | 498.5 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2017/2024 | 501.2 | 500.0 |
The convertible bonds were classified and recognised in full as debt due to the issuer's contractual cash settlement option. There are several embedded derivatives and derivatives that must be separated that are to be jointly regarded as a compound derivative and carried at fair value. The host debt instrument is recognised at amortised cost.
The decrease in financing liabilities from lease financing results from repayments and offsetting from new leases. Already concluded leases starting after the reporting date will arise cash outflows in the amount of EUR 0.7 million.
The main drivers for the changes in maturity of financing liabilities as against 31 December 2021 are the issuance of the corporate bond in three tranches with a total nominal value of EUR 1,500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 1,489.8 million), which increased the medium and long-term residual maturities in particular. The short remaining term decreased due to the repayment of the interim financing in the amount of EUR 1,400.0 million.

| Special one-off effects – rental and lease | 4.2 | 3.3 |
| Depreciation and amortisation expenses | 64.4 | 5.4 |
| Adjusted net rental and lease income | 310.9 | 275.1 |
| Adjusted net operating income – margin (in %) | 78.5 | 81.3 |
In the reporting period, the net rental and lease income decreased by EUR 24.1 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development is the amortisation of goodwill in the amount of EUR 58.9 million. In addition an increase in the number of employees mainly in connection with acquisitions made in 2021 led to an increase in staff costs of EUR 10.0 million. The allowances on rent receivables increased by EUR 4.7 million, in particular due to the increased volume of operating expenses that have not yet been invoiced. This was countered by the rise in net cold rents by EUR 57.7 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.6% in the reporting period.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly to 78.5 % from 81.3% in the same period of the previous year.
In the reporting period following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included.
| € million | 01.01.– 30.06.2022 |
01.01.– 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Right of use buildings | –0.1 | –0.1 |
| Right of use technical equipment and machinery | –1.9 | –2.4 |
| Right of use operating and office equipment | –1.4 | –1.3 |
| Depreciation expense of leases | –3.4 | –3.8 |
In the reporting period expenses of leases of a low-value in the amount of EUR 0.1 million were included in the net rental and lease income (comparable period: EUR 0.4 million).
Net income from the disposal of investment properties is composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01.– 30.06.2022 |
01.01.– 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Income from the disposal of investment | 33.7 | 26.0 |
| Carrying amount of the disposal of investment properties | –33.9 | –26.0 |
| Costs of sales of investment properties | –0.6 | –0.4 |
| Net income from the disposal of investment properties | –0.8 | –0.4 |
Net income from the remeasurement of investment properties
Net income from remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR 1,169.3 million in the reporting period. Based on the property portfolio as at the beginning of the financial year (including the remeasured acquisitions), this corresponds to an increase of 6.1%.
The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) was EUR 1,828 per square metre as at 30 June 2022 including acquisitions (31 December 2021: EUR 1,706 per square metre).
The increase in the value of the portfolio is the result of the further increase in rents as well as further reduction in the discount and capitalisation rates.
Administrative and other expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
01.01. – 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Other operating expenses | –13.3 | –8.2 |
| Staff costs | –15.3 | –13.5 |
| Purchased services | –1.1 | –0.5 |
| Depreciation and amortisation | –42.9 | –1.9 |
| Administratve and other expenses | –72.6 | –24.1 |
| Depreciation and amortisation | 42.9 | 1.9 |
| Special one-off effects | 10.1 | 4.2 |
| Adjusted administrative and other expenses | –19.6 | –18.0 |
The increase in other operating expenses is mainly attributable to higher consultancy fees. Higher depreciation and amortisation expenses is due to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 million. The adjusted administrative expenses increased by EUR 1.6 million or 8.9% in the first six months compared to the same period in the previous year.
In the reporting period following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included.
| € million | 01.01.– 30.06.2022 |
01.01.– 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Right of use buildings | –0.8 | –1.0 |
| Right of use operating and office equipment | –0.1 | –0.1 |
| Right of use software | –0.2 | –0.2 |
| Depreciation of leases | –1.1 | –1.3 |
Income taxes
| € million | 01.01.– 30.06.2022 |
01.01.– 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Current tax expenses | –0.5 | –2.2 |
| Deferred tax expenses | –260.4 | –250.0 |
| Income tax expenses | –260.9 | –252.2 |
An effective Group tax rate of 20.4% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 19.2%). Current tax expenses include EUR – 0.2 million income taxes relating to other periods. These relate to the release of a corporate tax provision for 2019.
Interest expenses
Interest expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
01.01. – 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expenses from real estate financing | –48.8 | –35.9 |
| Interest expense from loan amortisation | –9.1 | –7.9 |
| Prepayment penalty | 0.0 | –2.0 |
| Interest expense from interest derivatives for real estate financing | –3.3 | –4.5 |
| Interest expense from change in pension provisions | –0.6 | –0.3 |
| Interest expense from interest on other assets and liabilities | –0.1 | –0.1 |
| Interest expenses from lease financing | –1.1 | –1.0 |
| Other interest expenses | –2.1 | –5.4 |
| Interest expenses | –65.1 | –57.1 |
The increase in interest expenses and loan amortisation in the reporting period is mainly attributable to the newly issued corporate bonds.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the shareholders by the average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Due to the granting of stock dividends for the financial year 2021, a capital increase was carried out on 21 June 2022. A total of 1,269,651 new shares were issued.
| 01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
01.01. – 30.06.2021 |

| Earnings per share (basic) in € | 14.52 | 14.72 |
As at 30 June 2022, LEG Immo had convertible bonds outstanding, which authorise the bearer to convert it into up to 7.1 million ordinary shares.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by increasing the average number of shares outstanding by the number of all potentially dilutive shares. The net profit/loss for the period is adjusted for the expenses no longer incurring for the interest coupon, the measurement of the embedded derivatives and the amortisation of the convertible bond and the resulting tax effect in the event of the conversion rights being exercised in full.

As a result of the revision of internal management reporting, LEG Group has no longer been managed as two segments since the 2016 financial year. Since then LEG Group has operated in only one segment. It generates its revenue and holds its assets solely in Germany. In the 2022 financial year, LEG Group did not generate more than 10% of reported total revenue with any customer.
Over and beyond the minimum disclosures required in IFRS 8, the key performance indicators of the company are explained and presented below. These correspond to the management and reporting system which LEG Immo uses for corporate management and offer a deeper insight into the economic performance of our company.
Internal reporting at LEG Group deviates from the IFRS accounting figures. LEG focuses its internal reports particularly on the important FFO performance indicator and further financial key figures for the housing industry, i.e., EPRA NTA and LTV. The alternative performance measures presented below are not based on IFRS figures, with the exception of the comments on LTV.
FFO I is the key financial performance indicator of LEG Group. LEG Group distinguishes between FFO I (not including net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex).
FFO I, FFO II and AFFO were calculated as follows in the reporting period and the same period of the previous year:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
01.01. – 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cold rent | 396.2 | 338.5 |
| Profit from operating expenses | –3.1 | –0.6 |
| Maintenance for externally procured services | –35.9 | –29.0 |
| Staff costs | –51.4 | –41.4 |
| Allowances on rent receivables | –8.5 | –3.8 |
| Other | 9.4 | 8.1 |
| Special one-off effects (rental and lease) | 4.2 | 3.3 |
| Recurring net rental and lease income | 310.9 | 275.1 |
| Recurring net income from other services | 5.2 | 4.2 |
| Staff costs | –15.3 | –13.5 |
| Non-staff operating costs | –14.4 | –8.7 |
| Special one-off effects (admin.) | 10.1 | 4.2 |
| Recurring administrative expenses | –19.6 | –18.0 |
| Recurring other income and expenses | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 296.5 | 261.3 |

| Cash income taxes from rental and lease | – | –0.5 |
| FFO I (before adjustment of non-controlling interests) | 242.4 | 218.6 |
| Adjustment of non-controlling interests | –1.0 | –0.4 |
| FFO I (after adjustment of non-controlling interests) | 241.4 | 218.2 |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding | 72,910,161 | 72,124,864 |
| FFO I per share | 3.31 | 3.03 |
| Net income from the disposal of investment properties | 0.8 | –0.2 |
| Cash income taxes from disposal of investment properties | –1.5 | –1.8 |
| FFO II (incl. disposal of investment properties) | 240.7 | 216.2 |
| CAPEX | –162.0 | –147.0 |
| CAPEX-adjusted FFO I (AFFO) | 79.4 | 71.2 |
The direct calculation of FFO I is aligned to the cost of sales method.
To ensure comparability with previous periods, EBITDA and FFO are adjusted for special oneoff effects. Adjustments are made for all matters which are not attributable to the period from an operations perspective and which have a not insignificant impact on EBITDA and FFO. These special one-off effects comprise project costs for business model and process optimisation, personnel related matters, acquisition and integration costs, capital market financing measures and M&A activities as well as other atypical matters and are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
01.01. – 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Project costs to optimise the business model and processes | 3.0 | 1.6 |
| Staff related costs | 1.8 | 2.4 |
| Acquisition and integration related costs | 5.5 | 1.2 |
| Capital market financing and M&A activities | 2.0 | 1.4 |
| Other atypical matters | 2.0 | 0.9 |
| Special one-off effects | 14.3 | 7.5 |
EBITDA adjusted for these special effects is further adjusted in FFO I for cash interest expenses and income, cash taxes and non-controlling interests.
Cash interest expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
01.01. – 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expense reported in income statement | 65.1 | 57.2 |
| Interest expense related to loan amortisation | –9.1 | –8.0 |
| Interest costs related to the accretion of other assets/liabilities | –0.1 | –0.1 |
| Interest expenses related to changes in pension provisions | –0.6 | –0.3 |
| Other interest expenses | –1.2 | –6.6 |
| Cash effective interest expense (gross) | 54.1 | 42.2 |
| Cash effective interest income | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Cash effecitve interest expense (net) | 54.1 | 42.2 |
Capex in the context of the AFFO reconciliation includes additions to investment property amounting to EUR 161.0 million as well as additions to property, plant and equipment amounting to EUR 1.0 million.
The calculation of FFO I, FFO II and AFFO according to the indirect method for the reporting and comparison period is as follows:
| € million | 01.01.– 30.06.2022 |
01.01.– 30.06.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit or loss for the period | 1,060.2 | 1,063.3 |

The EPRA capex splits the capitalised expenditure of the reporting period in comparison to the comparative period and reconciles to investments for investment properties. The value-adding modernisation work, divided into development (new development on own land in an amount of EUR 10.5 million) and investments in investment properties (EUR 150.4 million), increased by 9.5% to EUR 160.9 million in the reporting period. Due to the increase in acquisitions to EUR 206.2 million, the EPRA Capex amounted to EUR 367.1 million in the reporting period.

Further key metrics relevant in the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the relevant key figure. The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2021 annual report.
LEG Immo reports an EPRA NTA of EUR 11,953.7 million or EUR 161.30 per share as at 30 June 2022. Deferred taxes on investment property are adjusted by the amount attributable to LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis.

1 Taking the ancillary acquisition costs into account would result in an NTA of EUR 13.942,2 million or EUR 188,13 per share.
In calculating the EPRA NTA, LEG Immo aligns itself to the Best Practice Recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).
The liabilities from purchase price obligations from share deals are reported as effects on equity from the exercise of options, convertible bonds and other rights (hybrid instruments) amounting to EUR 29.9 million.
Deferred taxes resulting from the measurement of investment properties and from the measurement of publicly subsidised loans and from the measurement of derivatives are corrected at the level of their impact on equity. Deferred taxes relating to the planned sales programme are not included in calculating EPRA NTA. As at 30 June 2022, these amounted to EUR 2,345.1 million.
Effects of the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are also eliminated in calculating the EPRA NTA. If these effects from the measurement of derivatives relate to the equity value calculated in the "Effects on equity from the exercise of options, convertible bonds and other rights" item, these are not included in the "Effects of the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments". As at 30 June 2022, these effects total EUR –80.1 million.
If the purchase price allocations for acquisitions to be accounted for in line with IFRS 3 result in goodwill (from deferred taxes and synergies), these reduce equity in the calculation of EPRA NTA. As at 30 June 2022, these effects total EUR 203.7 million. The decrease compared to 31 December 2021 is due to the adjustment of the preliminary purchase price allocation from the transaction with the Adler Group and the impairment as of 30 June 2022.
In addition, all recognised intangible assets are eliminated. As at 30 June 2022 these totalled EUR 3.5 million.
The estimated incidental acquisition costs are calculated on the basis of the net market values of the property portfolio. In accordance with the property portfolios in the various federal states, real estate transfer tax is taken into account. In addition, brokerage courtage and notary fees are applied in determining the estimated incidental acquisition costs.
Net debt at the end of the reporting period is slightly higher compared with 31 December 2021. The fair value measurement of investment properties resulted in an unchanged loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 42.1% as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: 42.1%).

1 The calculation was adjusted to the current market standard as of 31 March 2022. The net financial liabilities are reduced by the short-term deposits, the real estate assets are supplemented by the participations in other real estate companies. The figure as at 31 December 2021 was adjusted accordingly.
The non-capitalised maintenance expenses from the point of view of the asset holding companies consist of maintenance expenses for externally procured services and maintenance expenses procured internally by the service companies of LEG Immo. In the case of modernisations which are capitalised as value-enhancing measures, Capex represents the initial value, which is adjusted for the effects of the elimination of intercompany profits.

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities broken down by measurement category and class. Receivables and liabilities from finance leases and derivatives used as hedging instruments are included even though they are not assigned to an IFRS 9 measurement category. With respect to reconciliation, non-financial assets and non-financing liabilities are also included although they are not covered by IFRS 7.
The fair values of financial instruments are determined on the basis of corresponding market values or measurement methods. For cash and cash equivalents and other short-term primary financial instruments, the fair value is approximately the same as the carrying amount at the end of the respective reporting period.
For non-current receivables, other assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated on the basis of the forecasted cash flows, applying the reference interest rates as of the end of the reporting period. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date.
For financial instruments at fair value, the discounted cash flow method is used to determine fair value using corresponding quoted market prices, with individual credit ratings and other market conditions being taken into account in the form of standard credit and liquidity spreads when calculating present value. If no quoted market prices are available, the fair value is calculated using standard measurement methods applying instrument-specific market parameters.
When calculating the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the input parameters for the valuation models are the relevant market prices and interest rates observed as of the end of the reporting period, which are obtained from recognised external sources. The derivatives are therefore attributable to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13.72 ff (measurement on the basis of observable inputs).
Both the Group's own risk and the counterparty risk were taken into account in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives in accordance with IFRS 13.

As at 30 June 2022, the fair value of the very small equity investments was EUR 281.9 million (previous year: EUR 13.8 million). The increase was mainly due to the purchase of an equity investment in Brack Capital Properties with a value of EUR 263.7 million.
The fair value of the investment in Brack Capital Properties of EUR 263.7 million and the fair value of the other very small equity investments in listed companies are allocated to Level 1 of the measurement hierarchy, as there is an active market for the shares.
The fair value of the very small equity investments is calculated using DCF procedures as there are no quoted prices in an active market for the relevant equity investments. The fair value calculated using valuation models is allocated to Level 3 of the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. Allocation to Level 3 takes place based on valuation models with inputs not observed on a market. This relates primarily to the capitalisation rate of 4.8% (previous year: 4.2%).
As at 30 June 2022, the fair value of the very small Level 3 equity investments was EUR 18.2 million. The stress test of this parameter on the basis of plus 50 bp results in a reduction of the fair value to EUR 16.6 million (previous year: EUR 12.5 million) and at minus 50 bp in an increase of the fair value to EUR 20.2 million (previous year: EUR 15.5 million).
Please see the IFRS consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021 for the presentation of the IFRS 2 programmes for long-term incentive Management Board agreements.
As of 30 June 2022, contingent liabilities increased by EUR 178.3 million compared with 31 December 2021, in particular due to guarantee declarations to secure unsecured financing within the LEG Group.
There were no changes to the composition of the Management Board as at 30 June 2022 compared with the disclosures as at 31 December 2021.
The term of office of all Supervisory Board members ended at the close of the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2022, whereby Stefan Jütte and Dr Johannes Ludewig are not available for a further term of office due to their age.
By resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2022, Dr Sylvia Eichelberg, Dr Claus Nolting, Dr Jochen Scharpe, Mr. Martin Wiesmann and Mr. Michael Zimmer were reappointed as members of the Supervisory Board. Dr Katrin Suder was appointed as a member of the LEG Immo Supervisory Board for the first time.
The LEG Group has entered into a financing agreement for three secured loan financings totalling EUR 200.0 million. The financing arrangements were agreed for a term of five years with an interest rate of approx. 2.3% p.a. The payment of the funds is scheduled for the end of July 2022.
Following the resolution of the board of management of LEG Immo, LEG Grundstücksverwaltung GmbH decided on 3 August 2022, to refrain from a public tender offer for shares of Brack Capital Properties N.V. (BCP). LEG will therefore not take advantage of the tender commitment which has been agreed upon with Adler Real Estate AG on 1 December 2021, committing the company to deliver 63.0% of BCP shares in the case of a public tender offer for BCP by LEG.
There were no other significant events after the end of the interim reporting period on 30 June 2022.
