Inflation - Portfolio & financing structure as well as a small development exposure limit risks

Impact on rents

Appendix

  • Rent restricted units are basically hedged (20% of portfolio)
    • Rents linked to Consumer Price Index (CPI)
    • However, there is a time lag as in-place-rents can only be adjusted every three years (next time 2023)

Free-financed units

  • In-place-rent adjustments for staying tenants via rent table adjustments (take place every 2 years), with strong link to CPI. Cap at 20% (11% in tense markets) within 3 years offers some hedge
  • In general tenant fluctuation (LEG c. 10%) offers opportunity to adjust rents
  • In tense markets the reletting rent can be increased to a level of 10% above the local reference rent

Impact on capex

  • New construction cost index up 14%1 LEG with relatively small own development pipeline/ exposure
  • Minor impact on 2022 investment programme due to long-term contracts

Impact on financing

  • Fixed interest rates on 95% of financial debt,
  • Average maturity of 7.3 years, no major maturity until 2024
  • A 25 bps increase in interests would have a negative impact of €1m on LEG's cash interest payments

Refinancing of subsidised loans lifting value

Rent potential subsidised units

  • Until 2028, around 24,000 units will come off rent restriction
  • Units show significant upside to market rents
  • The economic upside can theoretically be realised the year after restrictions expire, subject to general legal and other restrictions5

Around 65% of units to come off restriction until 2028

1 All already released in Q1. 2 Employed by CBRE as indicator of an average rent value that could theoretically be achieved, not implying that an adjustment of the in-place rent to the market rent is feasible, as stringent legal and contractual restrictions regarding rent increases exist. 3 ≤5 years = 2022-2027; 6-10 years = 2028-2032; >10 years = 2033ff. 4 Rent upside is defined as the difference between LEG in-place rent and market. 5 For example rent increase cap of 11% (tense markets) or 20% for three years.
