Portfolio

Portfolio segmentation and housing stock

The LEG portfolio can be divided into three market clusters using a scoring system: high-growth markets, stable markets and higher-yielding 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 31 March 2022 comprised 166,342 residential units, 1,563 commercial units and 45,526 garages and parking spaces. The average flat size was 63 square metres, and the average monthly rent was EUR 6.19 per square metre.

Operational development

The actual in-place rent on a like-for-like basis was EUR 6.20 per square metre/ month on 31 March 2022, an increase of 2.7 % compared to the in-place rent twelve months ago. The like-for-like analysis does not take into account 22,672 residential units. This is essentially due to the acquisitions from 2021 and explains the small difference to the above-mentioned EUR 6.19 per square metre. For the 2022 financial year, LEG is sticking to its forecast of an increase in rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis of approx. 3%.

The free financed portfolio accounts for 80% of the portfolio. The actual in-place rent in this segment rose by 3.2% year-on-year to EUR 6.58 per square metre (like-for-like). Within this segment, the high-growth markets showed an increase of 3.1% to EUR 7.58 per square metre (like-for-like). In the stable markets, the average monthly rent increased by 3.5%, reaching an average of EUR 6.28 per square metre (like-for-like) at the end of the quarter. In the higher-yielding markets, rents rose by 2.9 % to EUR 5.97 per square metre (like-for-like).

The next regular adjustment of cost rents will be in 2023. Therefore, the average monthly rent in the rent-restricted portfolio rose by only 0.4% to EUR 4.99 per square metre (like-for-like) at the end of the reporting period.

As at 31 March 2022, the EPRA vacancy rate on a like-for-like basis improved by 40 basis points compared to the previous year's reporting date, from 2.8 % to now 2.4 %. Overall, the EPRA vacancy rate at the end of the quarter was 3.0% (previous year: 2.9%). This higher figure is again attributable to the acquisitions. On average, these still have a slightly higher vacancy rate than the portfolio that have been under management for longer. In the like-for-like view, the vacancy rate was reduced in all three market segments. In the high-growth markets, it fell by 20 basis points to 1.6% (like-for-like). In the stable markets, the vacancy rate fell by 50 basis points to 2.4% (like-for-like). The highest reduction was recorded in the higher-yielding markets. Here, the vacancy rate fell by 70 basis points to 3.4% (like-for-like). In the free-financed portfolio, the vacancy rate was 2.5% (previous year: 3.0%) and in the rent-restricted portfolio 1.5% (previous year: 1.8%).

Net rental and lease income increased primarily due to higher net cold rents by 17.1% to EUR 151.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 16.8% from EUR 126.0 million to EUR 147.2 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin in the reporting period was at 74.5% almost at the previous year's level (comparative period: 74.8%).

The increase in administrative and other expenses is mainly due to increased consulting costs.

The increase in net income from investment securities and other equity investments to EUR 33.4 million resulted 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 45.6 million (comparative period: EUR 48.0 million).

Current income tax expenses of EUR – 0.3 million were recorded affecting net income in the reporting period.

In the reporting period, the LEG Group increased its net rental and lease income by EUR 22.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year. Main drivers of this development were the EUR 3.9 million expansion of value-added services and the EUR 29.1 million rise in net cold rents. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.7% in the reporting period. This was countered by the increase in maintenance expenses for externally produced services by EUR 3.2 million as well as the increase in staff costs by EUR 4.6 million which was mainly due to an increase in the number of employees.

The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly to 78.3% from 79.1% in the same period of the previous year.

The EPRA capex splits the capitalised expenditure and reconciles to cash outflows for investment properties. The value-adding modernisation work, divided into development (new development on own land in an amount of EUR 6.8 million) and investments in investment properties (EUR 63.8 million), increased by 4.6% to EUR 70.6 million in the reporting period. The decline in acquisitions by EUR 98.5 million had an opposite effect.

In addition to the rise in value-adding modernisation by EUR 3.0 million to EUR 72.8 million, the increase in maintenance expenses by EUR 1.0 million to EUR 25.4 million resulted in total investments of EUR 98.2 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 94.2 million). Investments for new construction activities on company-owned land, public safety measures in connection with acquisitions and own work capitalised were eliminated from total investment when calculating total investment per square meter. Adjusted total investment was EUR 85.1 million and average total investment per square metre in the reporting year was EUR 7.89 per square metre (comparative period: EUR 9.44 per square metre). The capitalisation rate after adjustments was 70.7% in the reporting period (comparative period: 75.5%).

In the reporting period, no inventory properties were sold. The remaining real estate inventory held as at 31 March 2022 amounted to EUR 0.2 million is land under development.

The interest expense increased in the first quarter 2022 compared to the same period in the previous year by EUR 7.4 million to EUR 32.3 million. The rise in interest expenses is mainly due to issued corporate bonds after the comparative period.

Year-on-year the average interest rate decrease to 1.16% as at 31 March 2022 (1.29% as at 31 March 2021) on an average term of 7.3 years (7.5 years as at 31 March 2021).

The increase in net income from other financial assets and other investments to EUR 33.4 million resulted 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 45.6 million (comparative period: EUR 48.0 million).

An effective Group tax rate of 19.5% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 18.5%). The increase is mainly due to the acquired Adler companies.

Reconciliation to FFO

FFO I is a key financial performance indicator of the LEG Group. The 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.

FFO I, FFO II and AFFO were calculated as follows in the reporting period and the same period of the previous year:

At EUR 121.4 million, FFO I was 16.6 % higher in the reporting period than in the same period of the previous year (EUR 104.1 million). In particular, this increase is attributable to the positive impact from the rise in net cold rent 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 615 % in the same period of the previous year to 549% in the reporting period.

Investment properties increased primarily as a result of additions from acquisitions of EUR 162.7 million and capitalisation of property modernisation measures of EUR 70.6 million.

Due to the acquisition (EUR 283.2 million) and revaluation (EUR 33.4 million) of further shares in Brack Capital Properties N.V. of EUR 316.6 million, other non-current assets increased significantly compared to December 31, 2021.

The recognition of real estate tax expenses as other inventories (EUR 19.5 million) for the remainder of the financial year and the deferral of prepaid operating costs of EUR 25.1 million as well as the repayment of short-term investment of financial resources in the amount of EUR 30.0 million contributed significantly to the development of the receivables and other assets.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 185.5 million to EUR 490.1 million. This development is mainly due to the scheduled and unscheduled repayments of bank loans in the amount of EUR –1,412.1 million, the investment in the Brack Capital Properties N.V. described above and high acquisition and investment activity of EUR –161.1 million. This is offset by the issue of corporate bonds with a net value of EUR 1,482.4 million.

While financial liabilities increased mainly due to utilisation of new loans and the issue of corporate bonds, the other non-current liabilities came down by EUR –49.5 million due to the measurement of the derivatives for the convertible bond issued in 2017 (EUR – 64.3 million). The other current liabilities increased as of 31 March 2022 among other things due to higher trade payables (EUR 40.1 million)

EPRA Net Tangible Asset (EPRA NTA)

Further key metrics relevant in the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the significant 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 10,961.8 million or EUR 150.49 per share as at 31 March 2022. Deferred taxes on investment property are adjusted by the amount attributable to the LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis. As of 31 March 2022, no dilution effects from the convertible bonds are considered, because the share price did not exceed the current conversion prices at the reporting date.

Loan-to-value ratio (LTV)

Net debt at the end of the reporting period increased slightly compared with 31 December 2021, due to payments for investments, leading to a slightly increased loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 43.1% at the interim reporting date (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.

Financial position

A net profit for the period of EUR 154.5 million was realised in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 124.4 million). Equity amounted to EUR 9,139.2 million at the reporting date (31 December 2021: EUR 8,953.0 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 43.7% (31 December 2021: 43.6%).

A condensed form of the LEG Group's statement of cash flows for the reporting period is shown below:

T19
Statement of cash flows
€ million 01.01. –
31.03.2022
01.01. –
31.03.2021
Cash flow from operating activities 116.1 98.5
Cash flow from investing activities –465.4 –143.8
Cash flow from financing activities 163.8 483.4
Change in cash and cash equivalents –185.5 438.1

Higher receipts from net cold rents had a positive impact on the net cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period.

Essentially, acquisitions and modernisation work of the existing portfolio with payments of EUR – 161.1 million and EUR – 54.8 million for owner-occupied property contributed to the cash flow from investing activities. Furthermore, cash proceeds mainly from property disposals in the amount of EUR 5.2 million and the acquisition of further shares in Brack Capital of EUR 283.2 million resulted in a net cash flow from investing activities of EUR –465.4 million. The repayment of short-term investments of financial resources in the amount of EUR 30.0 million had an opposite effect.

In the first quarter 2022, the main drivers of the cashflow from financing activities of EUR 163.8 million were the scheduled repayments of bank loans (EUR – 1,412.1 million) and in the opposite direction the utilisation of new loans in the amount of EUR 100.0 million as well as the issue of a corporate bond of EUR 1,482.4 million.

The LEG Group's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.

Risk and opportunity report

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.

2. Interim consolidated financial statements

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.

The 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.

3. Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated financial statements of the LEG Immo 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 31 March 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 COV-ID-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.

4. Changes in the Group

On 1 February 2022 Renowate GmbH (formerly Ökoconstruct Gesellschaft für energetische Sanierung mbH) were included in the consolidated financial statement for using the equity method.

5. Assumptions and estimates

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. Moreover, there were no triggering events for the conduct of an impairment test on goodwill during the reporting period.

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.

Development of property prices and demand

Supply and demand for housing will still be the decisive factors for future price development. It can be assumed that the construction activity will remain at a high level, but continue to lag behind the trend in demand. Due to the supply deficit that is largely present the general conditions for rising prices remain in place.

Development of rent defaults and rent deferrals

Only a slight increase in rent defaults can be observed at present. This is partly due to the extensive state transfer payments. Due to the LEG-specific low level of commercial letting, potential rent defaults from commercial properties can currently be classified as insignificant.

Housing vacancies

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.

War in the Ukraine

Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022, oil prices have briefly risen to more than USD 100 per barrel and gas prices have risen to more than 220 Euro per MWh. 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. 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. In a first assessment, LEG does not expect any negative impact on its business model from today's perspective.

Inflation and interest rate development

In recent months, inflation expectations for Germany have increased significantly to 5.1% and for the Eurozone to 5.8% 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. Since 10 March 2022, the ECB has been considering an increase in the key interest rate before the end of 2022 in response to the rising inflation rate. This expectation is 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 0.984%. 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 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.

In the reporting period right of uses in the amount of EUR 0.9 million have been added.

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:

T29

Financing liabilities

€ million 31.03.2022 31.12.2021
Financing liabilities from real estate financing 8,952.6 8,767.8
Financing liabilities from lease financing 116.4 117.3
Financing liabilities 9,069.0 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 8,952.6 million as at 31 March 2022.

In the first quarter of 2022, the issuance of three corporate bonds with an IFRS carrying amount of EUR 496.2 million, EUR 494.4 million and EUR 495.1 million increased the financing liabilities. Moreover, loans in the amount of EUR 100.0 million were valued. Scheduled and unscheduled repayments of EUR 1,412.1 million and the amortisation of transaction costs had an opposite effect.

Financing liabilities from real estate financing include among other things two convertible bonds with a nominal value of EUR 550.0 million and an IFRS carrying amount of EUR 527.6 million and a nominal value of EUR 400.0 million and an IFRS carrying amount of EUR 391.8 million. Furthermore, financing liabilities include nine corporate bonds, one with a nominal value of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 496.2 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 494.4 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 495.1 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 600.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 591.8 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 600.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 597.8 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 494.6 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 497.2 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 300.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 296.9 million), and one with a nominal amount of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 499.4 million).

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 0.5 million.

The main drivers for the changes in maturity of financing liabilities as against 31 December 2021 are the issuance of three corporate bonds with a total nominal value of EUR 1,500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 1,485.7 million) which increased in particular the mid-term and long-term maturities. Due to the repayments of EUR 1,400.0 million the short-term maturity decreased.

7. Selected notes to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

Net rental and lease income is broken down as follows:

T31

Net rental and lease income

31.03.2021
Net cold rent 197.5 168.4

Depreciation 2.6 2.6
Adjusted net rental and lease income 154.7 133.2
Adjusted net operating income – Margin (in %) 78.3 79.1

In the reporting period, the LEG Group increased its net rental and lease income by EUR 22.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year. Main drivers of this development were the EUR 3.9 million expansion of value-added services under other and the EUR 29.1 million rise in net cold rents. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.7% in the reporting period. This was countered by the increase in maintenance expenses for externally produced services by EUR 3.2 million as well as the increase in staff costs by EUR 4.6 million which was mainly due to an increase in the number of employees.

The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly to 78.3 % from 79.1% in the same period of the previous year.

In the reporting period following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included in the net rental and lease income:

Depreciation and amortisation 1.2 1.0
Non-recurring special effects in administration 4.6 1.3
Adjusted administrative and other expenses –10.7 –9.3

The increase in other operating expenses is mainly attributable to increased consulting costs. The adjusted administrative expenses increased by EUR 1.4 million in the first three 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 in the administrative and other expenses:

An effective Group tax rate of 19.5% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (previous year: 18.5%). The increase is mainly due to the acquired Adler companies.

Earnings per share

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.

Intermedia result in € 1.37 0.97
Diluted earnings per share in € 1.37 0.97

As at 31 March 2022, LEG Immo had convertible bonds outstanding, which authorise the bearer to convert it into up to 7.0 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.

8. Notes on Group segment reporting

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 direct

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:

To ensure comparability with previous periods, EBITDA and FFO are adjusted for non-recurring special 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, staff 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:

EPRA capex

The EPRA Capex table shows the breakdown of the capitalisation of investments and reconciles them to the payments for investments in investment properties. The modernisations capitalised as value-enhancing measures, divided into development (new construction activities on own land amounting to EUR 6.8 million) and investments in investment properties (EUR 63.8 million), increased by 4.6% to EUR 73.0 million in the reporting period. This was offset by the decrease in acquisitions of EUR 98.5 million.

EPRA Net Tangible Asset (EPRA NTA)

Further key metrics relevant in the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the significant 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 10,961.8 million or EUR 150.49 per share as at 31 March 2022. Deferred taxes on investment property are adjusted by the amount attributable to the LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis. As of 31 March 2022, no dilution effects from the convertible bonds are considered, because the share price did not exceed the current conversion prices at the reporting date.

1 Taking the ancillary acquisition costs into account would result into an NTA of EUR 12,817.2 million or EUR 175.96 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 31 March 2022, these amounted to EUR 2,079.0 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 31 March 2022, these effects total EUR 45.6 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 31 March 2022, these effects total EUR 303.2 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.

In addition, all recognised intangible assets are eliminated. As at 31 March 2022 these totalled EUR 3.6 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.

Loan-to-value ratio (LTV)

Net debt at the end of the reporting period increased slightly compared with 31 December 2021, due to payments for investments, leading to a slightly increased loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 43.1% at the interim reporting date (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.

Maintenance and modernisation

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.

9. Financial instruments

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 the 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 31 March 2022, the fair value of the very small equity investments was EUR 420.3 million (previous year: EUR 13.8 million). The increase resulted mainly from an equity investment in the amount of EUR 402.1 million.

The fair value of the participation of the Brack Capital Properties in the amount of EUR 402.1 million is 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 31 March 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).
