The war in Ukraine was the main focus on the capital markets in the first half of the year. The impact on supply chains, consumer prices and, in particular, central bank monetary policy dominated developments on the stock markets. In this environment, it came as little surprise to see negative performance in almost all sectors: DAX -20%; EuroStoxx 50 -20%; EPRA Europe -30%.
In this exceptionally difficult overall market, shares in Vonovia reported above-average losses, trading at € 29.40 at the end of the second quarter. This was due, in particular, to the close negative correlation with government bond yields. Similarly, higher interest rates and the resulting capital market fears of a knock-on effect on earnings and property values likely played a decisive role in the drop in performance.
We are observing an ever-wider gap between capital market expectations on the one hand, and ongoing stable development on the market for direct real estate investments on the other. While the capital market appears to be pricing in a marked correction, the residential property markets in which we operate remain extremely robust.
As a result, we remain confident that the fundamental conditions in our markets will ensure positive development in the long run. These include, in particular, the favorable relationship, from an owner's point of view, between supply and demand in urban regions as well as the structural momentum on the revenue side.
The company's market capitalization amounted to around € 23.4 billion as of June 30, 2022.
The chart displayed below shows the voting rights pursuant to Sections 33 and 34 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) as notified by the shareholders in relation to the current share capital. It is important to note that the number of voting rights reported could have changed within the respective thresholds without triggering an obligation to notify the company.
Based on the German stock exchange's definition of free float, only the interest held by Norges Bank (Ministry of Finance on behalf of Norway) does not count toward the free float. This means that 88.9% of Vonovia's shares were in free float on June 30, 2022. The underlying voting rights notifications and corresponding financial instruments reported by shareholders or other instruments pursuant to Sections 38, 39 WpHG can be found online.
Share Price Development

In line with Vonovia's long-term strategic focus, we believe that the majority of its investors also have a long-term focus. The company's investors include pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and international asset managers in particular. There are also a large number of individual shareholders, although they only represent a small proportion of the total capital.

Vonovia SE is committed to transparent, ongoing dialogue with its shareholders and potential investors. We have continued with our road shows and meetings in 2022, both as virtual and face-to-face events. In the first six months of 2022, Vonovia participated in a total of 16 investors' conference days and organized 14 roadshow days.
In addition, numerous one-on-one meetings, video conferences and conference calls were held with investors and analysts to keep them informed of current developments and special issues. The following topics in particular dominated the meetings held in the first half of 2022: inflation, energy prices, interest rates, the capital structure and sustainability.
We will continue to communicate openly with the capital market. Various road shows, conferences and participation in investor forums have already been planned. Information can be found in the Financial Calendar on our Investor Relations website.
The Annual General Meeting of Vonovia SE was held as a virtual event on April 29, 2022. The shareholders approved all of the resolution proposals put forward by the Supervisory Board and the Management Board as required. They also formally approved the actions of the Supervisory Board (98.03% of the votes) and the Management Board (99.87% of the votes) for the 2021 fiscal year with a large majority.
The Annual General Meeting approved the dividend proposal of € 1.66 made by the Supervisory Board and the Management Board, which corresponds to a dividend yield of 3.4% based on the closing price for 2021 of € 48.50. In a year-onyear comparison, this corresponds to an increase of € 0.08 – taking into account the increased number of shares due to the capital increase. Shareholders were free to choose between a cash dividend and a scrip dividend. 47.85% opted for a dividend in the form of shares.
A total of 72.48% of the company's share capital was represented.
* TERP-adjusted.
As of June 30, 2022, 24 international analysts were publishing research studies on Vonovia. The average target share price was € 53.30, Of these analysts, 83% issued a "buy" recommendation, with 13 % issuing a "hold" recommendation and 4% a "sell" recommendation.

6 Vonovia SE Half-Year Report 2022
Rising interest and inflation rates, partly due to the war in Ukraine, coupled with uncertainty in the commodity markets and supply chains that remain disrupted, create a highly complex environment for corporate management. The ongoing monitoring of the factors currently prevailing requires a regular reassessment of the raising of capital, capital allocation, the portfolio structure and the operating cost situation in the value chain processes. In addition, uncertainty remains as to how the coronavirus pandemic will develop going forward. These analyses therefore allow measures to be developed for short, medium and long-term action, with the merger with Deutsche Wohnen presenting the opportunity to analyze the portfolio in its entirety with regard to value and yield development.
We remain convinced that the challenges associated with megatrends affecting the housing industry can best be solved by thinking and acting in terms of neighborhoods. As a result, the lion's share of the portfolio in Germany consists of neighborhoods that we have grouped together as urban quarters. The remaining existing buildings largely comprise smaller clusters of buildings and solitary properties that we have grouped together as urban clusters. Even though, unlike urban quarters, urban clusters do not relate to entire neighborhoods, they are also managed using the same long-term asset and property management strategies based on our operating platform.
In addition, the latest portfolio analysis led to the creation of a further sales portfolio for less profitable strategic holdings alongside the sales portfolio for non-strategic holdings (Non-core Disposals) and Recurring Sales within the strategic cluster. In the future, the corresponding income will be reported as part of the Recurring Sales segment and will be used primarily for internal financing.
In February 2022, control of 20.5% of the shares in the Adler Group, which were previously held by Aggregate Holdings Invest S.A., had passed to Vonovia as part of a debt recovery action. The shares originally served to secure one of
Vonovia's loan exposures. The exercise of the voting rights attached to the shares by Vonovia was approved by the Federal Cartel Office. Vonovia also retains all options for action, including the sale of some or all of the shares. In the current market environment, however, the company has ruled out any further purchases, let alone a full takeover.
Due to the lower price of the Adler Group's shares, an impairment loss on the investment amounting to € 160.6 million was recognized on the fair value of the shares in accordance with IFRS, irrespective of the hidden reserves in the investment with regard to the pro rata equity.
As a result of the higher interest rates, there was a further increase in the cost of capital, meaning that goodwill and the trademark rights in the nursing and assisted living sector were written down by € 121.0 million, with the investment in QBI accounted for using the equity method being written down by € 120.8 million. On the other hand, the increase in the discount rate for the measurement of pension provisions translated into actuarial gains.
The operating business was stable as expected, with moderate effects resulting from the war in Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic in some areas. These effects related primarily to the procurement of raw materials and to energy costs.
The Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) was stable in both a quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year comparison in the second quarter of 2022. This means that customers confirm Vonovia's consistently good quality of service.
In the second quarter of 2022, two bonds worth € 500 million each were repaid early before their maturity date of July 9, 2022. Commercial papers in the amount of a further € 500 million were repaid as planned.
In September 2021, Vonovia and Deutsche Wohnen sold residential and commercial units to public housing companies in Berlin based on an agreement reached with the Berlin State Government. The transaction with a volume of € 2,339.0 million was completed in 2022.
In June 2022, Vonovia signed the agreement of the Alliance for New Housing Construction and Affordable Housing in Berlin (Bündnis für Wohnungsneubau und bezahlbares Wohnen in Berlin). As part of the alliance, Vonovia supports the stated objectives and implementation steps to find a constructive solution to the tense situation on the Berlin housing market together with all of the players involved and, in doing so, to create a basis for reliable construction, renovation and rental.
The work on integrating Deutsche Wohnen was continued as scheduled in the second quarter of the year. The focus was on ensuring that the measures were consistent with the company law requirements and on planning the details of the actual integration work.
The Annual General Meeting held on April 29, 2022, resolved to pay a dividend for the 2021 fiscal year in the amount of € 1.66 per share. In a year-on-year comparison, this corresponds to an increase of € 0.08 – taking into account the increased number of shares due to the capital increase following the takeover of Deutsche Wohnen. As in previous years, shareholders were offered the option of choosing between being paid the dividend in cash or being granted new shares. During the subscription period, shareholders holding a total of 47.85% of the shares carrying dividend rights opted for the scrip dividend as opposed to the cash dividend. As a result, 19,252,608 new shares were issued using the company's authorized capital for a total of € 616,815,055.10. The total amount of the dividend distributed in cash therefore came to € 672,336,610.64.
Two years after the beginning of the pandemic, Russia's war against Ukraine is creating new challenges for the EU economy. The economic outlook for the European economy before the outbreak of the war foresaw a long and robust expansion phase. However, the European Commission now expects lower growth and higher inflation, particularly in 2022. In addition, the outlook could be further hampered by an escalation of the war, a sudden halt of the supply of energy, or a further slowdown of economic activity in the USA or China. According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), the German economy started 2022 with slight GDP growth (GDP in first quarter of 2022 +0.2% compared with the previous quarter) despite the difficult global economic conditions. While GDP in Sweden decreased slightly during the same period (-0.8% compared with the previous quarter), OECD data shows that the increase in Austria was comparatively strong at 1.5% compared with the previous quarter. According to the OECD Economic Outlook (preliminary version) of June 2022, GDP growth of 1.9% in Germany, 2.2% in Sweden and 3.6% in Austria are expected in 2022.
Despite the war in Ukraine, the labor market continued to develop favorably in May. However, the large-scale registration of Ukrainian refugees had a strong influence on unemployment and underemployment in Germany in June. According to the German Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit), the unemployment rate based on the total civilian labor force in June 2022 fell by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year to 5.2% (not adjusted for seasonal work). The Ukrainian refugee migration is likely to have increased the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. According to Statistics Sweden, the unemployment rate in Sweden in May 2022 was 8.5%, 1.3 percentage points lower than in the previous year. According to national calculations by the Austrian Public Employment Service (AMS), the unemployment rate in Austria in June 2022 was 5.5% and thus 1.5 percentage points lower than in the previous year. Based on respective national definitions, the average unemployment rate expected in 2022 is 5.1% for Germany (IfW Kiel), 7.6% in Sweden (National Institute of Economic Research) and 6.3% in Austria (WIFO).
Measured against the national Consumer Price Index (CPI), inflation increased further compared to the previous year and likely amounted to 7.6% in Germany, 8.7% in Sweden and 8.7% in Austria in June 2022. This development is being driven by considerably higher energy prices, which have risen in particular since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, but also by recent noticeable increases in food prices. The average inflation rates in 2022 are expected to be somewhat lower. Based on respective national definitions, the expected consumer price index increase is 7.4% in Germany (IfW Kiel), 6.8% in Sweden (National Institute of Economic Research) and 7.8% in Austria (WIFO).
In June, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced the first interest rate hike in more than ten years. The key interest rates for the main refinancing rate will increase by 50 basis points as of July 27, 2022. The ECB ceased to purchase bonds as of July 1, 2022. The high inflation rate also led the Swedish Riksbank to increase the policy rate, first in May 2022 to 0.25% and then to 0.75% at the beginning of July. In the second half of the year, the Riksbank will also purchase fewer bonds than initially decided. Further increases of key interest rates or the policy rate could ensue over the further course of the year. For example, in Germany Qualitypool, which is part of the Hypoport network, reports that the upward trajectory of the average best interest rates for construction financing since the beginning of the year has continued to the end of the month following a short break in early June.
The housing markets in Germany, Sweden and Austria have proven to be robust during the coronavirus pandemic. Rents continue to increase; empirica reports that, across Germany, quoted rents were 5.3% higher on average over all years of construction in the second quarter of 2022 (new construction 5.5%) than in the same quarter of the previous year. Further rent increases are likely in 2022. According to "Hem & Hyra," the member magazine published by the Swedish tenants' association ("Hyresgästföreningen"), 81% of all rents for 2022 had been negotiated as of early April. The average rent increase until that point was 1.71%. Measured against the index for actual rental payments for primary residences as part of the consumer price index, rents in Austria have also seen an overall slight increase since the beginning of the year following a dip over the course of 2021.
Residential property ownership continued to become more expensive compared to the previous year. The empirica price index for condominiums in Germany (all years of construction) increased by 9.2% in the second quarter of 2022
compared to the same period of the previous year (new construction 10.5%). The experts at BayernLB expect a noticeable slowdown of the positive price momentum in Germany over the course of 2022. According to Svensk Mäklarstatistik, prices for tenant-owned apartments (Bostadsrätter) in Sweden increased by 2.0% in June 2022 compared with the same month of last year. However, the price development most recently recorded dips. The values of the current residential real estate price index of the Austrian central bank (OeNB) on the basis of new and used condominiums and single-family residences show an increase in Austria in the first quarter of 2022 of 12.3% compared to the previous year. According to estimates by Raiffeisen Research from March of this year, the second half of the year could show less momentum than the first. Not least due to the widening of the gap between purchase prices and rents, the empirica bubble index for Germany showed a moderate to high risk for 342 out of 400 administrative districts and self-governing cities in the first quarter of 2022. In addition to those factors having a negative impact on demand, however, factors that are helping to stabilize demand and prices are also currently at play, for example, immigration or the dwindling supply of new-build properties. The deviation of the trend for residential real estate prices in Austria from the development of the factors included in the OeNB's fundamental price indicator has accelerated further, suggesting that the residential real estate market is increasingly overheating. Despite the recent dampers on prices, experts currently assess the risk of a real estate bubble in Sweden as being low.
The populations of Germany, Sweden and Austria grew in 2021. There is still a shortage of apartments in many large cities and urban areas. Meanwhile, construction activity declined in Germany. According to Destatis, only 293,393 apartments were completed in 2021 (2020: 306,376). The German federal government set itself the goal of building 400,000 new apartments per year in Germany. In the wake of Russia's war against Ukraine, the German real estate industry expects up to 1.29 million refugees and short-term demand for up to 500,000 additional apartments. Boverket estimates that approximately 63,400 apartments have to be built per year in Sweden by 2030. In 2021, only around 53,000 apartments were completed. According to Bank Austria, residential construction activity in Austria has largely addressed the marked increase in the demand for homes in recent years. However, gaps are likely to be found primarily in the sector comprising low-cost rental apartments in metropolitan areas. In light of the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the war in Ukraine, the
construction industries now face higher prices, disrupted supply chains and actual or looming material shortages. In addition, Germany and Austria are suffering from a shortage of skilled labor. DB Research most recently reported positive signs for Germany at the end of June in the form of dropping commodity prices and waning material and staff shortages.
The German residential investment market showed a conservative first half of 2022. According to CBRE, the transaction volume amounted to € 7.7 billion and was thus below the average for the first half-year of each of the last five years. While prime yields increased in the face of the interest rate turnaround, average yields for existing and newly built properties remained stable. According to Newsec, the volume in the residential investment market in Sweden in the first half of 2022 came to approximately SEK 34.9 billion and was thus 7.5% lower than in the previous year. According to EHL, the Austrian real estate investment market saw a transaction volume in the first half of the year of approximately € 2 billion. The share of institutional residential projects amounted to approximately 19% and was thus lower overall than in the same period of the previous year.
Housing policy developments in the first half of the year in Germany included the decision at the end of May to introduce a rent cap in Dresden and Leipzig, and changes to the Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG). After it once again became possible to apply for BEG renovation programs starting in February, BEG subsidies for new buildings were also reintroduced in April, with amended subsidy conditions. Furthermore, the German cabinet approved a draft bill for dividing CO2 costs between landlords and tenants. In Sweden, investment subsidies for rental apartments were discontinued at the turn of the year. Applications that are not granted this year depend on there being a political mandate for additional funds in 2023. In Austria, indicative and category-based rents were increased as of April 1, 2022. Moreover, in the first half of the year a revision of real estate law was announced that would make the person who hires an agent responsible for paying their service fee.
In analyzing Vonovia's results of operations, it is important to remember that the figures for the first half of 2022 only allow a comparison with the previous year to a limited extent, as Deutsche Wohnen was not included in Vonovia's consolidated financial statements until September 30, 2021.
In the first six months of 2022, the first few moderate effects of the war in Ukraine were reflected in the interim financial statements, particularly in energy and construction costs.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic also had a minor impact, especially in the Value-add segment
All in all, Vonovia reported stable business development in the first half of 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, Vonovia employed 15,845 people (June 30, 2021: 10,793).
The following key figures provide an overview of Vonovia's results of operations and the relevant drivers in the first half of 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, Vonovia (incl. Deutsche Wohnen) managed a portfolio comprising 549,484 of its own residential units (June 30, 2021: 414,068), 163,558 garages and parking spaces (June 30, 2021: 138,650) and 8,873 commercial units (June 30, 2021: 6,515). The locations span 636 cities, towns and municipalities (June 30, 2021: 625) in Germany, Sweden and Austria. 72,362 residential units (June 30, 2021: 71,671) are also managed for other owners.
At the end of the first half of 2022, the portfolio in the Rental segment had a vacancy rate of 2.4% (end of H1 2021: 2.7%), meaning that our apartments were once again virtually fully occupied.
The segment revenue in the Rental segment increased by 1.6% year-on-year in the first six months of 2022, mainly due to organic growth resulting from new construction and modernization, also taking into account the Berlin portfolio that was sold (H1 2021: 3.3%). Of the segment revenue in the Rental segment in the 2022 reporting period, € 956.2 million is attributable to rental income in Germany (H1 2021: € 939.4 million), € 178.5 million to rental income in Sweden (H1 2021: € 177.4 million) and € 54.0 million to rental income in Austria (H1 2021: € 53.7 million).
The organic increase in rent totaled 3.4%, as in the prioryear period. The current rent increase due to market-related factors came to 1.0% (H1 2021: 0.9%) and the increase from property value improvements translated into a further 1.7% (H1 2021: 2.0%). All in all, this produces a like-for-like rent increase of 2.7% (H1 2021: 2.9%). New construction measures and measures to add extra stories also contributed 0.7% (H1 2021: 0.5%) to the organic increase in rent.
The average monthly in-place rent within the Rental segment at the end of June 2022 came to € 7.44 per m² (excluding Deutsche Wohnen) compared to € 7.29 per m² at the end of June 2021. The monthly in-place rent in the German portfolio at the end of June 2022 came to € 7.28 per m² (June 30, 2021: € 7.09 per m²), with the figure for the Swedish portfolio coming to € 10.00 per m² (June 30, 2021: € 10.32 per m²) and the figure for the Austrian portfolio coming to € 5.01 per m² (June 30, 2021: € 4.82 per m²). The rental income from the portfolio in Sweden reflects inclusive rents, meaning that the amounts contain operating, heating and water supply costs. The rental income from the Austrian property portfolio additionally includes maintenance and improvement contributions (EVB).
We have continued with our modernization, new construction and maintenance strategy in the 2022 fiscal year. The overview below provides details on maintenance, modernization and new construction.

Operating expenses in the Rental segment in the first half of 2022 were up by 8.7% on the figures for the first half of 2021, from € 183.3 million to € 199.3 million. This was due, in particular, to higher administrative expenses. All in all, the
Adjusted EBITDA Rental came to € 822.6 million in the first six months of 2022, down slightly on the prior-year value of € 823.8 million.
The Value-add segment felt a slight impact of the coronavirus pandemic and cost increases sparked by the war in Ukraine. All in all, revenue from the Value-add segment came to € 618.6 million in the 2022 reporting period, up by 11.0% on the value of € 557.4 million seen in the first six months of 2021. External revenue from our Value-add activities with our end customers in the first six months of 2022 were up by 51.3% on the first six months of 2021, from € 27.9 million to € 42.2 million. Group revenue rose by 8.9% from € 529.5 million in the first six months of 2021 to € 576.4 million in the first six months of 2022.
Operating expenses in the Value-add segment in the first six months of 2022 were up by 12.9% on the figures for the first six months of 2021, from € 478.2 million to € 540.1 million. This was due, in particular, to higher energy and construction costs and the use of more third-party services.
Adjusted EBITDA Value-add came to € 78.5 million in the first six months of 2022, slightly lower than the figure of € 79.2 million reported for the first six months of 2021.
In the Recurring Sales segment, income from the disposal of properties in the first six months of 2022 were down to € 268.6 million, 18.1% lower than the 2021 value of €327.8 million due to volume-related factors, with 1,253 units sold (H1 2021: 1,865), thereof 951 in Germany (H1 2021: 1,527) and 302 in Austria (H1 2021: 338). Income of € 190.0 million is attributable to sales in Germany (H1 2021: € 253.0 million) and € 78.6 million to sales in Austria (H1 2021: € 74.8 million).
In the first half of 2022, the fair value step-up in the portfolio came to 43.7%, up on the value of 38.7% seen in the first half of 2021. This was due primarily to much higher step-ups for sales in Austria.
Selling costs in the Recurring Sales segment came in at € 7.6 million in the first half of 2022, down by 3.8% on the value of € 7.9 million seen in the first half of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA Recurring Sales came in at € 74.1 million in the first half of 2022, down by 11.3% on the value of € 83.5 million seen in the first half of 2021 due to volume-related factors, despite an improved margin.
In addition, we made 4,540 Non-core Disposals of residential units as part of our portfolio adjustment measures in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: 319) with total proceeds of € 901.1 million (H1 2021: € 29.2 million). This also includes the block sale from Vonovia's Berlin portfolio. At 4.9%, the fair value step-up for Non-core Disposals in the 2022 reporting period was lower than for the same period in the previous year (38.2%, driven by the low margin in the Berlin portfolio that was sold).
In the Development to sell area, a total of 592 units were completed in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: 452), thereof 16 in Germany (H1 2021: 368 units), 576 units in Austria (H1 2021: 84 units). In the first half of 2022, income from the disposal of Development to sell properties amounted to € 358.4 million (H1 2021: € 191.7 million), with € 169.0 million attributable to project development in Germany (H1 2021: € 115.8 million) and € 189.4 million to project development in Austria (H1 2021: € 75.9 million). The increase in proceeds in 2022 was primarily due to a global exit (Gäblerstrasse). The resulting gross profit for Development to sell came to € 71.3 million in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: € 31.5 million).
In the Development to hold area, a total of 496 units were completed in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: 389), thereof 433 in Germany (H1 2021: 297 units) and 63 units in Sweden (H1 2021: 92 units). In the Development to hold area, a fair value of € 97.1 million was achieved in the 2022 reporting period (H1 2021: € 64.4 million), which was fully attributable to project development in Germany (H1 2021: € 54.1 million, Sweden H1 2021: € 10.3 million). The gross profit for Development to hold came to € 28.9 million in the first six months of 2022 (H1 2021: € 18.9 million).
Development operating expenses came to € 16.2 million in the first half of 2022 due to increased project expenses, up by 3.8% on the value of € 15.6 million seen in the first half of 2021. The Adjusted EBITDA for the Development segment amounted to € 85.4 million in the 2022 reporting period (H1 2021: € 35.3 million).
At the end of the first half of 2022, Deutsche Wohnen's portfolio was virtually fully occupied with a vacancy rate of 1.8%.
In the first half of 2022, the Deutsche Wohnen Group generated segment revenue of € 578.2 million, of which € 382.3 million was mainly attributable to rental income and € 136.8 million to income from the nursing and assisted living sector.
Adjusted EBITDA Deutsche Wohnen came to € 341.4 million in the first half of 2022.
At the end of June 2022, the average monthly in-place rent in the Deutsche Wohnen portfolio came to € 7.42 per m².
In the first half of 2022, a total of 11,758 residential units were sold from the Deutsche Wohnen portfolio.
In the first six months of the year, Group FFO rose by 36.3% from € 779.8 million (based on the new 2022 definition, without eliminating IFRS 16 effects) in the first half of 2021 to € 1,062.9 million in the first half of 2022. In the first half of 2022, Deutsche Wohnen contributed a total of € 289.9 million to Group FFO.
Adjusted EBITDA Total rose by 37.2% from € 1,021.8 million in the first half of 2021 to € 1,402.0 million in the first half of 2022.
In the 2022 reporting period, the non-recurring items eliminated in the Adjusted EBITDA Total came to € 7.5 million compared to € 91.7 million in the first half of 2021. This was largely due to special effects resulting from the debt recovery action in connection with the loan granted to the Adler Group, as well as the elimination of an earn-out clause that had a positive earnings effect.
The following table gives a detailed list of the non-recurring items:
| in € million | H1 2021 | H1 2022 | Change in % | 12M 2021 |

In the first six months of 2022, the profit for the period came to € 1,796.4 million (H1 2021: € 2,680.1 million). It is determined to a degree by impairment losses, also due to the increase in interest rates and inflation. The impairment losses recognized in the second quarter of the year due to the increased cost of capital were attributable to goodwill and trademark rights in the nursing and assisted living sector in the amount of € 121.0 million, and to the investment in QUARTERBACK Immobilien AG in the amount of € 120.8 million. The investment in the Adler Group was written down by € 160.6 million due to the lower share price. On the other hand, the profit for the period was positively affected by the valuation result of € 3,115.9 million (H1 2021: € 3,698.6 million).

The Group's total assets fell by € 166.9 million as against December 31, 2021, down from € 106,320.3 million to € 106,153.4 million. The development in non-current assets is dominated by the impairment of goodwill of € 1,117.7 million. By contrast, investment properties rose by € 3,640.3 million, primarily as a result of the revaluation. The value of noncurrent financial assets accounted for using the equity method rose by € 253.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, due largely to the first-time inclusion of the Adler Group as an associate. Primarily due to the impairment losses recognized in the second quarter of 2022 on the investments in QUARTERBACK Immobilien AG in the amount of € 120.8 million and in the Adler Group in the amount of € 160.6 million, however, it was down as against December 31, 2021, by a total of € 33.3 million. Before Vonovia obtained control of 20.5% of the shares in the Adler Group as part of the debt recovery action, a loan to Aggregate Holdings Invest S.A. was reported under non-current financial assets.
The development in current assets is characterized first of all by the disposal of assets held for sale in the amount of € 2,562.8 million. This relates largely to the parts of the portfolio that were sold to Berlin public housing companies. Second, cash and cash equivalents increased by € 136.4 million from € 1,432.8 million to € 1,569.2 million.
Goodwill and trademark rights made up 1.6% of total assets, taking into account the purchase price allocation from the business combination with Deutsche Wohnen, which is still provisional.
As of June 30, 2022, the gross asset value (GAV) of Vonovia's property assets came to € 99,147.6 million. This corresponds to 93.4% of total assets, as against € 98,225.3 million or 92.4% at the end of 2021.
Total equity rose by € 977.9 million from € 36,545.1 million to € 37,523.0 million, due in particular to the profit for the period of € 1,796.4 million and the cash dividend distribution of € 672.3 million, which had the opposite effect. Equity was reduced by € 74.7 million not affecting net income, largely due to the disposal of non-controlling interests via purchases of shares in GSW Immobilien AG, the sale of companies in the context of the Berlin Deal and the actuarial gains from provisions for pensions.
This brings the equity ratio to 35.3%, compared with 34.4% at the end of 2021.
Liabilities fell by € 1,144.8 million from € 69,775.2 million to € 68,630.4 million. The amount of non-current nonderivative financial liabilities increased by € 2,539.6 million, in particular due to a promissory note transaction and the issue of social bonds and green bonds, whereas current non-derivative financial liabilities fell by € 3,874.4 million at the same time.
Deferred tax liabilities increased by € 1,025.0 million, in particular as a result of the revaluation of investment properties.
Vonovia's net asset value figures are based on the best practice recommendations of the EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association).
At the end of the first half of 2022, the EPRA NTA came to € 49,770.4 million, up by 2.1% on the value of € 48,748.8 mil-
lion seen at the end of 2021 (based on the new 2022 definition). EPRA NTA per share increased from € 62.77 at the end of 2021 to € 62.54 at the end of the first half of 2022. It must be noted that the creation of the new Recurring Sales (MFH) subportfolio for low-yielding properties has led to reduced additions for deferred taxes as these are only intended for properties that are to be held in the portfolio over the long term.

Major market developments and valuation parameters that have an impact on the fair values of Vonovia are assessed on an ongoing basis. Due to the market momentum recognized again in the first half of 2022, Vonovia decided to perform a new valuation on the 20 German locations that account for the largest fair value shares. The list of the locations to be valued was extended to include three additional German locations in which considerable changes in value had been observed, as well as Vienna and the ten locations in Sweden that account for the largest fair value shares of the Swedish portfolio. This means that around three-quarters of the portfolio, in terms of portfolio value, was revalued in total. This revaluation led to net income from the valuation of € 3,115.9 million (H1 2021: € 3,698.6 million).
In addition, buildings under construction (new construction/ development to hold) were completed during the reporting period. A fair value measurement is performed for the first time when the properties are completed. This resulted in a valuation effect of € 28.9 million for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2022 (H1 2021: € 18.9 million).
The recognition and valuation of investment properties are explained in detail in the consolidated financial statements for 2021.
The Group cash flow is as follows:
| in € million | H1 2021 | H1 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash flow from operating activities | 692.6 | 1,039.6 |

2,253.6 | 1,569.2 |
The cash flow from investing activities shows net proceeds of € 1,399.9 million for the first six months of 2022. This figure is characterized primarily by the sale of residential and commercial units to public housing companies in Berlin based on the agreement reached with the Berlin State Government in 2021. Payments for the acquisition of investment properties came to € 1,138.5 million in the first six months of 2022 (H1 2021: € 718.9 million). On the other hand, income from portfolio sales in the amount of € 2,699.4 million was collected (H1 2021: € 359.6 million). Payments for investments in other assets amounted to € 77.7 million in the first six months of 2022 (H1 2021: € 3,384.3 million). The prior-year value was dominated by the acquisition of the shares in Deutsche Wohnen SE.
The cash flow from financing activities includes payments for regular and unscheduled repayments in the amount of € 6,361.5 million (H1 2021: € 308.0 million) and, on the other hand, proceeds from issuing financial liabilities in the amount of € 5,172.9 million (H1 2021: € 5,780.8 million). Payouts for transaction and financing costs amounted to € 44.8 million (H1 2021: € 91.8 million). Interest paid in the first six months of 2022 amounted to € 298.8 million (H1 2021: € 183.0 million).
Net changes in cash and cash equivalents came to € 136.4 million.

In addition to the opportunities and risks set out in the combined management report for the 2021 fiscal year, the main changes in the first half of 2022 related to the assessment of the overall risk position due to the war in Ukraine and the resulting consequences, such as the development in commodity prices, rising interest rates and higher inflation.
The number of overall risks fell from 108 at the end of 2021 to 106 at the end of the first six months of 2022.
The number of amber risks rose from 6 to 9.
The amber risk associated with "unfavorable interest rate developments" was upgraded from the original potential net damage of € 100–250 million and a probability of occurrence of 5–39% to potential net damage of € 250–500 million and a probability of occurrence of 40–59%.
A new amber risk, "rising energy costs," was included with potential net damage of € 5–25 million and a probability of occurrence of >95%.
The risks "increase in construction costs" and "economic risk" were upgraded from green to amber.
The risk "increase in construction costs" was unchanged with regard to the original potential net damage of € 25– 100 million, while its probability of occurrence was increased from 5–39% to >95%.
The "economic risk" was unchanged with regard to the original potential net damage of € 25–100 million, while its probability of occurrence was increased from 5–39% to 40–59%.
There are currently no indications of any risks that could pose a threat to the company's existence, and – as things stand at present – no such risks are expected to arise in the future.
The forecast for the 2022 fiscal year was based on the accounting principles used in the consolidated financial statements. The current forecast does not take account of any larger acquisitions of real estate portfolios.
Our forecast for the 2022 fiscal year is based on determined and updated corporate planning for the Vonovia Group as a whole and considers current business developments, possible opportunities and risks, the potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic and, to the extent that it can be forecast, potential effects of the war in Ukraine. The forecast also includes the key overall macroeconomic developments and the economic factors that are relevant to the real estate industry and our corporate strategy. Further information is provided in the sections of the 2021 Group management report entitled "Fundamental Information About the Group" and "Development of the Economy and the Industry."
The war in Ukraine has started to have an impact on the global markets. We expect price increases, particularly on the energy markets, to have a substantial impact on Vonovia and our customers. While these will have a direct impact on ancillary expenses, they will also have an indirect effect on all areas of the economy due to general price increases.
We expect to see further price increases on the construction materials markets, with a knock-on effect on our construction projects, too. To the extent that the statutory provisions allow, we plan to pass these price increases in the context of our modernization measures on to our tenants as well. Rising interest rates and inflation are currently resulting in increased volatility on the equity and debt capital markets, also due to, or exacerbated by, the war in Ukraine. As a result, the macroeconomic situation and developments are being assessed on an ongoing basis. In light of the above, investment decisions are being reviewed with regard to their yields. This relates in particular to the classification of
development projects as to-hold or to-sell, but also to other real estate portfolio sale decisions and to the implementation of modernization decisions.
We expect segment revenue to increase further in 2022. We are also currently observing stable demand for rental apartments and no negative impact on market values.
We also expect to see a considerable increase in Adjusted EBITDA Total and Group FFO, in particular due to the acquisition of Deutsche Wohnen.
In 2022, we expect a slight increase in EPRA NTA per share, leaving any further market-related changes in value out of the equation.
The current forecast yet again confirms the positive development in the Sustainability Performance Index (SPI). We expect the high level of customer satisfaction to continue. The reduction of carbon emissions is working better than expected.

Vonovia SE is incorporated and domiciled in Germany. The company has been registered in the commercial register in Bochum under HRB 16879 since 2017. Its registered office is at Universitätsstrasse 133, 44803 Bochum, Germany.
The interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022, were prepared in line with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as they are to be applied in the European Union for interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34. They include the company and its subsidiaries.
In accordance with IAS 34, the scope of Vonovia's interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022, is condensed compared with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021.
The total number of voting shares held by Vonovia in Deutsche Wohnen SE as of June 30, 2022, is 347,728,483. Of these shares, 198,463,161 were tendered as part of the takeover offer, 141,468,495 were acquired on the market or by way of individual agreements and 7,796,827 were added through the conversion of acquired convertible bonds. As of June 30, 2022, this represents 87.60% of the share capital entitled to voting rights. Deutsche Wohnen SE also holds a further 3,362,003 shares as own shares.
As part of the provisional purchase price allocation, the total consideration for the business combination comprises the following:
| in € billion | |
|---|---|
| Fair value of shares held as of September 30, 2021 | 7.5 |
| Net cash purchase price component for shares tendered |
10.5 |
| Total consideration | 18.0 |
The allocation of the total purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities (PPA) of the Deutsche Wohnen Group as of the date of first-time consolidation is based on the financial statements of the Deutsche Wohnen Group as of September 30, 2021, and on the known necessary adjustments to the fair values of the assets and liabilities. As of the date on which the financial statements were prepared, the allocation was only provisional.
The assets and liabilities assumed in the course of the business combination had the following preliminary fair values as of the date of first-time consolidation. There were no changes as against the information reported as of December 31, 2021.
| Goodwill | 4.7 |
|---|---|
| Non-controlling interests | 2.0 |
| Consideration | 18.0 |
| Fair value net assets | 15.3 |
| Total liabilities | 18.3 |
| Fair value of other liabilities | 0.7 |
| Non-controlling interests | 0.5 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 5.4 |
| Non-derivative financial liabilities | 11.2 |
| Provisions | 0.5 |
| Total assets | 33.6 |
| Fair value of other assets | 1.4 |
| Assets held for sale | 2.2 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 0.8 |
| Financial assets | 1.0 |
| Investment properties | 28.2 |
The non-controlling interests are included based on the share of the assets and liabilities of Deutsche Wohnen SE that have been recognized.
The goodwill represents synergies from the future integration of the Deutsche Wohnen Group, in particular through the shared administration and management of the respective residential units. The goodwill was only provisionally allocated to one or several cash-generating units due to the still provisional allocation of the consideration to assets and liabilities.
In the 2022 fiscal year, the Deutsche Wohnen Group contributed € 2,504.7 million to income, as well as € 674.2 million to profit for the period. This amount includes income of € 136.8 million from the business areas nursing and assisted living.
In the 2022 fiscal year, no transaction costs related to the acquisition of the Deutsche Wohnen Group were recognized in other operating expenses affecting net income.
For detailed information on the effects in the 2021 fiscal year, please refer to note (A) Principles of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Vonovia's published 2021 Annual Report.
The exchange rates of the currencies relevant to the Vonovia Group have developed as follows:
| Closing rate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basis: € 1 | Dec. 31, 2021 | Jun. 30, 2022 | Jan. 1-Jun. 30, 2021 |

| USD – US dollar | 1.13 | 1.04 | 1.21 | 1.09 |
Recognition and measurement, as well as the explanatory information and notes, are generally based on the same recognition and measurement methods that were used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the 2021 fiscal year. There were no seasonal or economic influences that had an impact on Vonovia's business activities in the reporting period.
The war in Ukraine and the inflation trend prompted a marked increase in interest rates during the reporting period. The observed rise in interest rates meant that an ad hoc impairment test had to be performed on goodwill in the
reporting period. There was no impact on ongoing financing measures during the reporting period.
The operating business was stable as expected, with moderate effects resulting from the war in Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic in some areas. These effects related primarily to the procurement of raw materials and to energy costs.
The new standards and interpretations to be applied as of January 1, 2022, do not have any material effects on Vonovia's consolidated financial statements.
The prior-year figures are comparable only to a limited extent due to the acquisition of the Deutsche Wohnen Group effective September 30, 2021.

The fair value adjustment of residential properties held for sale, for which a purchase contract had been signed but transfer of title had not yet taken place, led to a gain of € 38.3 million as of June 30, 2022 (H1 2021: € 31.5 million). The year-on-year increase in the profit on disposal of assets held for sale is due primarily to the disposal of properties as part of what is known as the Berlin Deal in the first quarter of 2022 (for more information, please refer to note [D18] Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale).
Income from disposal of real estate inventories in the amount of € 380.5 million (H1 2021: € 191.7 million) consisted of € 234.8 million (H1 2021: € 187.0 million) in period-related income together with € 145.7 million (H1 2021: € 4.7 million) in time-related income from disposal of properties. The increase as against the previous year is due to the larger project volume overall, as well as to the transfer of benefits and encumbrances for a project in connection with the sale to an individual investor (global exit).
The measurement of the investment properties led to a gain as of June 30, 2022, of € 3,115.9 million (H1 2021: € 3,698.6 million; see explanatory information in note [D15] "Investment Properties"). This includes € -5.7 million (H1 2021: € -1.6 million) for the measurement of right-of-use assets (IFRS 16).
The figure also includes the valuation result from buildings under construction (new construction/development to hold) that were completed during the reporting period and were moved to the Rental portfolio. A fair value measurement is performed for the first time when the properties are completed. This resulted in a valuation effect of € 28.9 million as of June 30, 2022 (H1 2021: € 18.9 million).
The recognition and valuation of investment properties are explained in detail in the consolidated financial statements for 2021.

* The revenue for the Rental, Value-add, Recurring Sales and Development segments constitutes income that is regularly reported to the Management Board as the chief operating decision-maker and that reflects Vonovia's sustainable business. The revenue/costs in the "Other" and "Consolidation" columns are not part of the Management Board's segment management. ** Excluding capitalized interest on borrowed capital of € 0.0 million (H1 2021 € 0.0 million).
The year-on-year increase in segment revenue in the "Other" column is primarily due to the sale of portfolios as part of the Berlin Deal.
The creation of the new subportfolio for less profitable strategic holdings also changes the segment definitions in the segment reporting pursuant to IFRS 8. In the future, in addition to the regular and sustainable disposals of individual condominiums and single-family houses, the Recurring Sales segment can also include sales of multifamily residences outside of urban neighborhoods with a low gross yield. Other sales of entire buildings or land will still be reported as Non-core Disposals. The new subportfolio does not result in any changes to the segment allocation of previous sales.
In the 2022 reporting period, the non-recurring items eliminated in the Adjusted EBITDA Total came to € 7.5 million compared to € 91.7 million in the first half of 2021. This was largely due to special effects resulting from the debt recovery action in connection with the loan granted to the Adler Group.
The following table gives a detailed list of the non-recurring items:

The carrying amount of goodwill came to € 1,648.8 million as of June 30, 2022. This means that goodwill has dropped by € 1,117.7 million compared with December 31, 2021. The change is due, first of all, to the impairment of € 1,082.5 million identified in the first quarter of 2022 as part of the (ad hoc) impairment test performed. Within the meaning of IAS 36, the triggering event related to further increases in the values of the real estate portfolio during the 2022 fiscal year in combination with the increased cost of capital of the Rental segment's business areas in Germany.
Second, the change is due to the impairment identified in the second quarter of 2022 as part of the (ad hoc) impairment test performed. The increased cost of capital in the nursing and assisted living business area was classified as a triggering event within the meaning of IAS 36. The impairment test conducted as of June 30, 2022, resulted in the goodwill for the nursing and assisted living business area of € 35.2 million being written off in full.
In addition, trademark rights in the nursing and assisted living business area classified as having an indefinite useful life in the amount of € 86.0 million were also written off in full. This led to an impairment of € 121.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 for goodwill and trademark rights.
At the beginning of the fiscal year, the remaining new goodwill arising from the acquisition of Deutsche Wohnen in the amount of € 2,349.8 million was provisionally allocated to the relevant CGUs at Vonovia. The allocation of goodwill to the business areas of the Rental segment, the Value-add segment and the nursing and assisted living sector was performed based on the two indicators that reflect the
synergy effects expected to be generated as a result of the business combination: "direct planned synergies" and "fair values."
In accordance with IAS 36.19, first the value in use was calculated based on the Management Board-approved detailed plan with a planning period of five years. This was derived from the five-year plan at Group level approved by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. The assumptions used to calculate the value in use match the assumptions used for the purposes of the impairment test at the end of 2021. With regard to the regional business areas of the Rental segment, the main drivers behind the results of the five-year plan are the increase in gross rental income and the planned vacancy rate.
The growth rate for the cash-generating units of the Rental segment and the nursing and assisted living business area was calculated regionally on the basis of Rental in-place rents and limited to 1% for the Rental segment as a whole. The growth rate for the nursing and assisted living business area was also restricted to 1%. The main parameters for calculating the value in use are the sustainable rate of increase, the average total cost of capital (WACC) and the expected cash flows.

A increase in the cost of capital would result in the following need for impairment:

| Impairment starts with an increase of the WACC | |

| Levered beta | 0.79 | 0.83 |
| WACC (before tax) in % | 4.30 | 6.00 |
The identified need for impairment for the entire fiscal year of € 1,203.7 million relates to the North, West and Central business areas, as well as the nursing and assisted living sector, with the goodwill and trademark rights allocated in each case being completely impaired. With the impairment loss recognized as of March 31 and June 30, 2022, there is no remaining goodwill or trademark rights in the business areas of the Rental segment or in the nursing and assisted living sector.
The impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated income statement under depreciation and amortization.
The value in use for the North business area amounts to € 8.2 billion, with a value of € 10.4 billion for the West business area, € 0.3 billion for the Central business area and € 1.3 billion for the nursing and assisted living business area.

* The values as of Jun. 30, 2022 include assets of € 1,286.8 million (Dec. 31, 2021: € 1,270.2 million) that are measured using the acquisition cost model, as their fair value cannot be measured reliably on a continuing basis. As a result of the reassessment of expected income and construction costs, an impairment loss in the amount of € 119.4 million on these portfolios was recognized as of June 30, 2022.
Vonovia determines fair value in accordance with the requirements of IAS 40 in conjunction with IFRS 13. We refer to the detailed information set out in the consolidated financial statements for 2021.
Vonovia measures its portfolio in Germany, Austria and now also for the first time its portfolio in Sweden internally on the basis of the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. Under the DCF methodology, the expected future income and costs of a property are forecast over a period of ten years and discounted to the date of valuation as the net present value. Furthermore, the terminal value of the property at the end of the ten-year period is determined using the expected
stabilized net operating income and again discounted to the date of valuation as the net present value. In addition, the valuation of the portfolio in Austria is based on the assumption of sales strategies for the recurring sales of apartments for a subportfolio. Attainable revenues are calculated based on sales prices for comparable apartments (market approach) and are reported in the appropriate period in the DCF model. In order to take the sales potential into account, the DCF detailed period is extended to 100 years for the Austrian portfolios and no terminal value is used.
Due to the market momentum recognized in the first half of 2022, Vonovia decided, following the valuation for the first quarter, to perform a new valuation on the 20 German locations that account for the largest fair value shares. The list of the locations to be valued was extended to include three additional German locations in which considerable changes in value had been observed. In addition, the ten locations in Sweden with the largest fair value shares were valued, as was Vienna in Austria. The selection includes the lion's share of the portfolio, accounting for roughly three quarters of the total fair value.
The value developments and values for the real estate assets in Germany and Austria were subjected to a plausibility check performed by the experts CBRE GmbH (Vonovia portfolio) and Jones Lang LaSalle SE (Deutsche Wohnen portfolio). They confirmed that the portfolio value as of June 30, 2022, is plausible and consistent with the market. The plausibility of the internal valuation was assessed by an external valuation conducted by Savills Sweden SE. The market value resulting from the external report deviates from the internal valuation result by 0.1%.
For the part of the portfolio that was not revalued, the valuation from the end of 2021 is applied again, with updates to reflect capitalization.
The real estate portfolio of Vonovia is to be found in the items investment properties, property, plant and equipment (owner-occupied properties), real estate inventories, contractual assets and assets held for sale. The fair value of the portfolio comprising residential buildings, commercial properties, garages and parking spaces, project developments, as well as undeveloped land and any inheritable building rights granted was € 98,811.2 million as of June 30, 2022 (Dec. 31, 2021: € 97, 845.3 million). This corresponds to a net initial yield for the developed land (excluding the Deutsche Wohnen subportfolio) of 2.5% (Dec. 31, 2021: 2.6%). For Germany, this results in an in-place-rent multiplier of 28.9 for the Vonovia portfolio excluding Deutsche Wohnen (Dec. 31, 2021: 28.0) and a fair value per m² of € 2,508 (Dec. 31, 2021: € 2,401 per m²). The in-place-rent multiplier for the Austrian portfolio comes to 26.3 (Dec. 31, 2021: 26.5) and a fair value per m² of € 1,709 (Dec. 31, 2021:
€ 1,674 per m²), while the in-place-rent multiplier for Sweden amounts to 20.8 (Dec. 31, 2021: 20.6) and a fair value per m² of € 2,395 (Dec. 31, 2021: € 2,475 per m²).
The net initial yield for the developed land in the subportfolio comprising Deutsche Wohnen's stock comes to 2.1% (Dec. 31, 2021: 2.1%), which corresponds to a market value of € 3,120 per m² (Dec. 31, 2021: € 2,894 per m²) and an inplace-rent multiplier of 35.0 (Dec. 31, 2021: 33.5).
The inflation rate applied to the valuation procedure comes to 1.5%. For the Austrian portfolio, a sales strategy with an average selling price of € 2,349 per m² was assumed for 51.5% of the portfolio.
Net income from the valuation of investment properties amounted to € 3,115.9 million in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: € 3,698.6 million).
The material valuation parameters for the investment properties (Level 3) in the real estate portfolio are as follows as of June 30, 2022, broken down by regional markets/shown separately for the portfolio of Deutsche Wohnen: Explanatory information on the prior-year figures can be found in the 2021 Annual Report of Vonovia SE.

The sensitivity analyses performed on Vonovia's real estate portfolio show the impact of value drivers dependent upon market developments. Those influenced in particular are the market rents and their development, the amount of recognized administrative and maintenance expenses, cost increases, the vacancy rate and interest rates. The effect of possible fluctuations in these parameters is shown separately below for each parameter by regional market.
Interactions between the parameters are possible but cannot be quantified owing to the complexity of the interrelationships. The vacancy and market rent parameters, for example, can influence each other. If rising demand for housing is not met by adequate supply developments, then this can result in lower vacancy rates and, at the same time, rising market rents. If, however, the rising demand is compensated for by a high vacancy reserve in the location in question, then the market rent level does not necessarily change.
Changes in the demand for housing can also impact the risk associated with the expected cash flows, which is then reflected in adjusted discounting and capitalizing rates. However, the effects do not necessarily have to have a favorable impact on each other, for example, if the changes in the demand for residential real estate are overshadowed by macroeconomic developments.
In addition, factors other than demand can have an impact on these parameters. Examples include changes in the portfolio, in seller and buyer behavior, political decisions and developments on the capital market.

The drop in non-current financial assets is due primarily to the debt recovery action relating to a Lombard loan in the amount of around € 250.0 million (see note [C 17] Long-term Financial Assets Accounted for Using the Equity Method).
The other current loans reported under financial assets include loan receivables of € 845.5 million from the QUAR-TERBACK Immobilien Group granted in line with standard market conditions.
Other current financial receivables from financial transactions include time deposits and short-term financial investments in highly liquid money market funds that have an original term of more than three months.
As of the reporting date, Vonovia held interests in 26 joint ventures and eight associates (Dec. 31, 2021: 26 joint ventures and seven associates).
The change is due to control of 20.5% of the shares in Adler Group S.A., which were previously held by Aggregate Holdings Invest S.A., passing to Vonovia as part of a debt recovery action on February 22, 2022.
The shares had been pledged to secure a loan that Vonovia had granted on October 7, 2021, to replace a bank loan of Aggregate Holdings Invest.
At the time of the debt recovery action, the shares in the Adler Group had been reported at their market value of

As the value of the assets offered in the form of the call option of € 25.3 million and the other loan of € 215.3 million was lower than the value of the shares acquired, taking into account costs and interest this resulted in a negative difference of € 9.4 million, which was disclosed as other operating income in profit or loss.
Given the proximity to the preparation date for the financial reports, no adjustments were made in connection with the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities.
As of June 30, 2022, an impairment loss of € 160.6 million was recognized for the shares in the Adler Group as part of an ad hoc impairment test. The development of the Adler Group's share price was identified as a triggering event within the meaning of IAS 28.
The impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated income statement under net income from non-current financial assets accounted for using the equity method.

As in previous years, shareholders were offered the option of choosing between being paid the dividend in cash or being granted new shares. During the subscription period, shareholders holding a total of 47.85% of the shares carrying dividend rights opted for the scrip dividend instead of the cash dividend. As a result, 19,252,608 new shares were issued using the company's authorized capital pursuant to Section 5b of the Articles of Association (2018 authorized capital) at a subscription price of € 32.038, i.e., a total amount of € 616,815,055.10. The total amount of the dividend distributed in cash therefore came to € 672,336,610.64.
After being used in connection with the capital increase in 2022, the 2021 authorized capital fell by € 19,252,608.00 from € 81,603,587.00 to € 62,350,979.00 as of June 30, 2022. Shareholder subscription rights for the 2021 authorized capital can be excluded.

The U.S. dollar bond issued in 2013 is translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period in line with applicable IFRS provisions. Allowing for the hedging rate prescribed through the interest hedging transaction entered into, this financial liability would be € 56.3 million lower than the recognized value (Dec. 31, 2021: € 36.1 million).

In general, Vonovia measures its investment properties on the basis of the discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology (Level 3). The material valuation parameters and valuation results can be found in chapter [D28] Investment Properties of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021.
The investment properties classified as assets held for sale are recognized at the time of their transfer to assets held for sale at their new fair value, the agreed purchase price (Level 2).
No financial instruments were reclassified to different hierarchy levels as against the comparative period.
Securities are generally measured using the quoted prices in active markets (Level 1).
For the measurement of financial instruments, cash flows are initially calculated and then discounted. In addition to the tenor-specific EURIBOR/STIBOR rates (3M; 6M), the respective credit risk is taken as a basis for discounting. Depending on the expected cash flows, either Vonovia's own credit risk or the counterparty risk is taken into account in the calculation.
Due to the current interest rate environment (and the return to more positive market values as a result), counterparty risk premiums were relevant for the interest rate swaps in the consolidated financial statements alongside Vonovia's own credit risk. As with Vonovia's own risk, they are derived from rates observable on the capital markets and ranged from 35 to 260 basis points, depending on the residual maturities. Vonovia's own risk premiums were trading at between 35 and 310 basis points on the same cut-off date, depending on the maturities. Regarding the positive market values of the cross currency swaps, a counterparty risk of 60 basis points was taken into account.
In the context of the valuation of the currency swaps, the USD cash flows are converted into EUR using the EUR/USD FX forward curve and then all EUR cash flows are discounted using the 6M EURIBOR curve (Level 2).
The fair values of the cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other financial receivables approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date owing to their mainly short maturities. The amount of the estimated impairment loss on cash and cash equivalents was calculated based on the losses expected over a period of twelve months. It was determined that the cash and cash equivalents have a low risk of default due to the external ratings and short residual maturities and that there is no need for any material impairment of cash and cash equivalents.
Risk in the area of rent receivables was examined through an analysis of the reduced general creditworthiness (as a special forward-looking parameter of impairment losses for financial assets as defined by IFRS 9). As Vonovia receives rent payments mostly in advance, only deferred rents and similar receivables are affected. Since these receivables are in any case very quickly subject to a specific valuation allowance, an additional need for impairment loss is currently not foreseeable. The further development of the receivables is continuously monitored.
In the area of receivables from the sale of properties, the credit risk is compensated for by Vonovia retaining ownership of the property until the purchase price is paid.
Vonovia is involved in a number of legal disputes resulting from normal business activities.
In particular, these involve tenancy, construction and sales law disputes and, in individual cases, company law disputes (mainly following squeeze-out processes). None of the legal disputes, taken in isolation, will have any material effects on the net assets, financial position or results of operations of Vonovia.

For the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and interim group management report we have issued an unqualified review report. The English language text below is a translation of the review report.
We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – comprising consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – together with the interim group management report of Vonovia SE, Bochum, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2022, that are part of the half year financial report according to § 115 WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"]. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 "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 company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) as well as in supplementary compliance with the International Standard on Review Engagements "Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE 2410). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude
through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the International Accounting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in 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 employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.

In order to boost transparency in portfolio presentation, we also break our portfolio down into 15 regional markets. These markets are core towns/cities and their surroundings, mainly urban areas. Our decision to focus on the regional markets
that are particularly relevant to Vonovia is our way of looking ahead to the future and provides an overview of our strategic core portfolio in Germany.
