Dear Shareholders,
Dear Sirs and Madams,
For more than a year now, the world situation has been determined by the still active COVID 19 pandemic. The continuous lockdown imposed by the German government since mid-November 2020 has had a clearly negative impact on those parts of the German retail sector that were not classified as systemically relevant. On the contrary, suppliers of daily needs such as food retailers as well as hypermarkets, drugstores, pharmacies and DIY stores were not or only temporarily affected during this long-lasting second lockdown. As the majority of DKR's rental income comes from these retail and local supply centres with providers of goods for daily use, DKR's rent collection rates have been consistently high throughout the course of the pandemic so far, which demonstrates the largely cyclical and crisis-independent nature of our defensive business model and is thus a strong anchor for DKR and you, our shareholders.
This is also reflected in the development of the operating business: Rental income increased by around 32% yearon-year from EUR 25.0 million to EUR 33.0 million. Funds from operations ("FFO") even rose by around 33% to EUR 20.4 million. The strong growth is also reflected in the balance sheet: while the gearing ratio ("LTV") is temporarily slightly above 55%, the EPRA NAV rose to EUR 11.17 per share (after dividend payment of EUR 0.40 per share in March 2021).
In addition to the robust ongoing rental business with its stable rental cash flows, DKR also continued to grow successfully despite the pandemic in the first half of the 2020/2021 financial year. Since the beginning of the financial year, a total of 13 additional food-anchored retail properties with an investment volume of around EUR 120.2 million and annualised rents of around EUR 10.9 million have been acquired. Thus, the property portfolio currently comprises 174 retail properties with a total annualised rent of around EUR 73 million and a balance sheet value of approximately EUR 930 million. In addition, we continue to see a well-filled acquisition pipeline with our target properties, from which further growth is to be generated in the current financial year. Due to the high level of cash and cash equivalents, further growth can be financed with existing equity.
Regarding borrowing costs, DKR was also able to take out new secured fixed-rate loans from various banks and savings banks with a volume of EUR 49.9 million at interest rates averaging 1.73%, which is below the previous average. As a result, the average borrowing costs as of the balance sheet date are 1.89% p.a. with an average duration of 4.0 years, which means that DKR is financed more favourably than in the previous year (1.97%). And finally, after our virtual Annual General Meeting on 11 March 2021, we distributed a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share to you, our shareholders.
Based on DKR's positive development and despite the current economic outlook, we maintain our forecast and expect FFO of between EUR 42 million and EUR 45 million in the 2020/2021 financial year and an FFO run rate of between EUR 47 million and EUR 51 million as of 30 September 2021.
Unfortunately, the Company's strong continued growth, its robustness in the crisis and the continuous increase in dividend payments are not yet reflected in the share price development. As a result, the DKR share closed at EUR 15.60 on the current reporting date of 31 March 2021, around 1.3% or EUR 0.20 lower than at the end of the previous financial year. However, we are convinced that the occurring growth will sooner or later inevitably be reflected in a significant increase in the DKR share price. And finally, the German vaccination campaign seems to be proving effective, so that the overall pandemic and economic picture should improve considerably by the summer of 2021, which will also give real estate shares more upside.
With this positive outlook, we continue to thank you for your confidence in our sustainable growth course and wish you a pleasant summertime, good health and much joy with the DKR share.
Best regards,
Rolf Elgeti Alexander Kroth Christian Hellmuth Chairman of the CIO CFO Management Board – CEO

Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG based in Broderstorf and hereinafter referred to as "Deutsche Konsum" or "DKR" is a listed real estate company focusing on retail properties in Germany for goods required for daily use in established micro-locations. The focus of the Company's activities is on the management and development of real estate with the aim of achieving a steady increase in value and the realisation of hidden reserves. The steadily increasing current property portfolio of Deutsche Konsum comprises of 174 retail properties with an annualised rent of EUR 73 million (as of 12 May 2020).
Due to its German REIT status ('Real Estate Investment Trust'), the Company is exempt from German corporation and trade tax. The shares of the Company are listed on the Prime Standard of the Deutsche Boerse (ISIN: DE 000A14KRD3), the Berlin Stock Exchange and on the JSE (South Africa) by way of a secondary listing.
Although the number of new infections with the coronavirus had risen sharply and containment measures had been tightened again in many countries, the global economy had continued to recover in the winter half-year 2020 after the strong increase in production in the summer, according to an economic report published in March 2021 by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW).1
The coronavirus also had a decisive impact on the development of the German economy in 2020 and led to the largest decline in gross domestic product (GDP) since the global financial crisis in 2009. This ended a 10 year cycle of slow but steady recovery, especially in its final phase.2 According to the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), GDP in the fourth quarter of 2020 was able to gain 0.3% compared to the third quarter of 2020 – adjusted for price, seasonal and calendar effects. In the course of the year, however, quite considerable declines in GDP compared to the previous quarter of -2.0 % (first quarter 2020) and -9.7 % (second quarter 2020) had to be overcome, which could only be partially offset by a noticeable recovery of 8.5 % in the third quarter 2020. Overall, in retrospect, the decline in GDP for 2020 as a whole is -4.9 %.3
According to the IfW, the second wave of the corona pandemic has interrupted the recovery in Germany. For the first quarter of 2021, there are even signs of a quite significant decline in economic output. However, with the continuation of the vaccination campaign, the economic burden of the pandemic should ease and the recovery should continue at a fast pace.4 The Bundesbank also sees a presumably strong decline in economic output in the first quarter of 2021.5

In their spring report, the leading economic research institutes (Project Group Joint Economic Forecast) 6 expect gross domestic product to increase by 3.7 % in the current year and by 3.9 % in 2022. The renewed shutdown is delaying the economic recovery, but as soon as the danger of infection is averted, especially through vaccination, a strong recovery will begin in their view. The economy should return to normal capacity utilisation around the beginning of next year.7
The interest rate level in the eurozone is still at a historic low. On 16 March 2016, the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered the key interest rate by 5 basis points, so that the main refinancing rate was 0.00 %.8 As a result, real estate companies such as Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG, which largely finance their holdings by borrowing, continue to find favourable conditions for financing their investments.
Investors continued to focus strongly on real estate as an investment product in 2020. In the real estate investment market in Germany, the transaction volume of EUR 78.9 billion remained at a historically high level and well above the average value of the last fifteen years (EUR 53.8 billion). The commercial segment, dominated by office investments, accounted for EUR 58.6 billion.9
According to the Habona Report 2021, the investment market for retail properties was hardly affected by the events of the pandemic year 2020. With a transaction volume of EUR 10.4 billion across Germany, the market was able to almost maintain its previous year's level and was only 6% below the result from 2019. In the pandemic, local suppliers and drugstores were an anchor of stability. Accordingly, demand for supermarkets, discounters or other grocery-anchored specialty stores would still be high. According to the Habona Report, this would not change in the medium to long term. On the contrary: the competitive pressure for the best properties would continue to increase. In 2020, specialty markets/retail parks would have reached a share of 37 % and supermarkets/discounters 21 % of the total transaction volume. With a total of 58 %, the specialty market products would have clearly dominated the market.10
Compared to the first quarter of 2020, which was still completely unaffected by the pandemic, the result for the first quarter of 2021 of EUR 16.6 billion (incl. Living) is rather modest, but still respectable, according to Jones Lang LaSalle ("JLL") (total German transaction volume Jan.-March 2020: EUR 28 billion).11 According to JLL, retail properties recorded a volume of over EUR 1.5 billion (9% of the total transaction volume). They were behind Living (46 %), office properties (24 %) and the logistics industry (10 %).12 Retail properties included food-anchored specialist stores, local shopping centres, supermarkets and discounters, which made up the bulk of this asset class with well over 60%.13
However, according to JLL, the significant decline of 41% in the German real estate investment market must also be viewed in comparison with the previous three quarters and years. The current transaction volume is above the second and third quarters of 2020 and the investment market has only started better three times in the last six years: in 2020, 2018 and 2015. The next few weeks will be decisive for whether the investment market takes a sustainable recovery path. Sales opportunities would have to be pushed in order to complete transactions this year.

estate advisors spoke for the fact that investors had not lost their fundamental confidence in the German market and that they believed in a revival of the rental markets in the further course of the year as a fundamental support.14
Despite the volatile market environment, DKR's share price remained within a comparatively narrow corridor between EUR 15.00 and EUR 16.20 for most of the reporting period. On an intraday basis, the share price reached a high of EUR 16.5515 during the first half of the year and a low of EUR 14.7516. The renewed order of a nationwide lockdown at the beginning of November 2020 and the stricter contact restrictions immediately before Christmas last year therefore had no noticeable negative impact on the share price. As a result, the share price on 31 March 2021 was EUR 15.60, 1.27% lower than at the beginning of the current financial year (30 September 2020: EUR 15.80).17
The Corona pandemic therefore still has no lasting negative impact on the share price: While the closing price of the DKR share on the reporting date of 30 December 2019 – and thus immediately before the onset of the pandemic – was EUR 15.90, it was only marginally away from this at EUR 15.60 on the reporting date of 31 March 2021. Compared to the end of the first half of 2019/2020, the share price recovered by almost 12% in the current reporting period (31 March 2020: EUR 13.95).18
The Company's market capitalisation remains constant at more than EUR 500 million, which puts DKR in the focus of institutional investors as well as in the interest of retail investors. In comparison to the first half of the 2019/2020 financial year, the average trading volumes of the share declined noticeably in the first half of the current financial year. However, the very high trading volumes in February and March 2020 had a distorting effect in the comparison period. Overall, the share's tradability was always good during the reporting period.

Analyst research rate the DKR share as positive:
DKR's Annual General Meeting took place on 11 March 2021 as a virtual Annual General Meeting without the physical presence of the shareholders or their proxies. All proposed resolutions were adopted with the required majority. In particular, the distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share for the 2019/2020 financial year was approved. A total of TEUR 14,062 was distributed.
Information on the resolutions concerning the Authorised Capital and the Contingent Capital is contained in the section "Capital Resolutions at the Annual General Meeting on 11 March 2021" in the chapter "2.3. Business development".
Since 8 March 2021, the DKR share has been traded on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE") in South Africa as part of a secondary listing after the Company was able to fulfil all legal requirements for admission to trading. The listing was preceded by a virtual roadshow lasting several days, during which DKR's Management Board presented the Company to institutional South African investors.
The background to the secondary listing can be seen in the high level of interest shown by professional South African investors in European REITs. However, due to existing trading regulations, South African investors are only allowed to invest abroad to a limited extent. Through a secondary listing on the JSE, Deutsche Konsum can avoid existing restrictions on trading and offer an attractive investment for institutional investors from South Africa.
The Company expects the transfer of shares between Germany and South Africa to significantly increase the trading volume of DKR shares in the medium term. The connection to another capital market also increases flexibility in raising further equity or debt capital. Finally, the secondary listing in South Africa also provides a platform for attracting new investors.
Despite contact restrictions due to the current situation, DKR continues to be present in the media and at digital investor road shows.
By the end of the first half of the financial year, the benefits and encumbrances of a total of ten acquired properties had been transferred, including Zerbst, Stendal, Parchim, Neu-Anspach, Mölln, Blankenstein, Wrestedt and Zittau. In addition, the properties in Northeim, Frankfurt/Oder and Saarbrücken-Dudweiler were purchased. The transfer of benefits and encumbrances took place on 1 April 2021 (Northeim) and is expected on 1 July 2021 (Frankfurt/Oder as well as Saarbrücken-Dudweiler). Furthermore, revitalisation and modernisation measures amounting to EUR 9.7 million were carried out and capitalised in the first half of the financial year.
As a result, the DKR property portfolio as at 31 March 2021 comprises 171 properties with a balance sheet value of around EUR 871 million and a rental area of around 968,000 m².
In the financial year to date, DKR has already acquired a total of 13 retail properties with an investment volume of around EUR 120 million and an annual rent of EUR 10.9 million. This contrasts the sale of a discounter in Berlin-Pankow in October 2020, which is expected to be disposed of on 1 June 2021 with a capital gain of EUR 1.7 million.
Thus, the current secured overall portfolio (pro forma) of DKR currently comprises 174 retail properties with an annual rent of around EUR 73 million and a book value of around EUR 930 million.
In the first half of the 2020/2021 financial year, DKR took out secured bank loans from savings banks, cooperative banks and mortgage banks for EUR 40.5 million with fixed interest rates of between 1.00% and 3.35% per annum. Furthermore, an unsecured promissory note loan of EUR 10.0 million with a term of five years and an interest rate of 2.4% p.a. was taken out in March 2021.
In addition, the existing Scope rating was confirmed on 30 April 2021: The issuer rating remains at "BB+ stable" and the rating for secured and unsecured debt capital at "BBB" and "BBB-" (investment grade).
On 11 March 2021, the Annual General Meeting resolved, among other issues, to authorise the increase of the Authorised Capital and the Conditional Capital as well as the acquisition and use of treasury shares.
Accordingly, the Management Board was authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company's share capital on one or more occasions until 10 March 2026 by up to a total of EUR 17,577,969.00 by issuing new no-par value bearer shares against cash or non-cash contributions (Authorised Capital 2021/I).
The General Meeting also resolved to conditionally increase the share capital by up to EUR 9,577,969.00 by issuing up to 9,577,969 new no-par value bearer shares (Conditional Capital 2021/I). The conditional capital increase serves to grant shares to the holders of bonds that are issued or guaranteed in accordance with the authorisation resolved by the Annual General Meeting.
Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting authorised the Management Board to acquire and use treasury shares in accordance with § 71 (1) no. 8 AktG (German Stock Corporation Act). The resolution allows the acquisition of treasury shares up to a total of 10% of the share capital existing at the time of the resolution and is valid until 10 March 2026. The previously existing authorisation to acquire treasury shares would have expired on 19 April 2021.
Further portfolio growth as well as cash inflows from borrowings increased total assets by TEUR 42,963 to TEUR 978,693 (30/09/2020: TEUR 935,730). The major part of the assets are the investment properties, which are carried at TEUR 871,232 as of 31 March 2021 (30/09/2020: TEUR 809,929).
The equity of the Company increased in the first half-year 2020/2021 by the current net income for the period by TEUR 16,244 to TEUR 392,846 (30/09/2020: TEUR 390,665). The dividend distribution of TEUR 14,062 or EUR 0.40 per share on 11 March 2021 had a reducing effect on equity.
The EPRA NAV per share (undiluted) as of 31 March 2021 is as follows:
| TEUR | 31/03/2021 | 30/09/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Equity (TEUR) | 392,846 | 390,665 |
| Number of shares on the balance sheet date | 35,155,938 | 35,155,938 |
| EPRA (NAV) per share, EUR | 11.17 | 11.11 |
Non-current and current financial liabilities to banks increased by a total of TEUR 39,718 to TEUR 379,990 (30/09/2020: TEUR 340,272) due to the net raising of additional loans. This resulted from the raising of further secured and unsecured new loans of TEUR 49,905 which were offset by simultaneous loan repayments. The borrowed funds were and are being used for the acquisition of new retail properties.
Accordingly, the net LTV as of 31 March 2021 is as follows:
| TEUR | 31/03/2021 | 30/09/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial liabilities to banks | 379,990 | 340,272 |
| Convertible bonds | 36,383 | 36,309 |
| Corporate bonds | 151,939 | 151,093 |
| Total liabilities | 568,311 | 527,674 |
| minus cash and cash equivalents | -182 | -209 |
| minus fiduciary funds of property management | -2,519 | -1,243 |
| minus short-term lending | -54,640 | -81,197 |
| minus short-term interest-bearing investments | -10,222 | -18,011 |
| Net debt | 500,748 | 427,014 |
| Investment property | 871,232 | 809,929 |
| Properties held for sale | 0 | 0 |
| Prepayments for the acquisition of investment property | 27,020 | 15,534 |
| Total investment properties | 898,252 | 825,462 |
| Net-LTV | 55.7 % | 51.7 % |
The cash flow statement is as follows:
| TEUR | H1 2020/2021 | H1 2019/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash flow from operating activities | 16,368 | 15,859 |
| Cash flow from investing activities | -35,463 | -116,171 |
| Cash flow from financing activities | 19,068 | 75,597 |
| Cash changes in cash and cash equivalents | -27 | -24,715 |
| Financial funds at the beginning of the period | 209 | 25,639 |
| Financial funds at the end of the period | 182 | 924 |
The increase in cash flow from operating activities corresponds to the increase in operating income due to the growth in the real estate portfolio.
Cash flow from investing activities mainly includes cash outflows for the purchase of further retail properties of TEUR 72,154, which are offset by cash returns from the short-term investments of available cash and cash equivalents of TEUR 36,038.
Cash flow from financing activities primarily includes net cash inflows from borrowings of TEUR 49,905. This is offset by payments for repayments and interest totalling TEUR 16,774 and the dividend payment of TEUR 14,062.
The Company was always able to meet its payment obligations.
The results of operation of Deutsche Konsum developed as follows in the first half of 2020/2021:

The rental income increased significantly due to the acquisition-related significantly increased real estate portfolio. As a result, rental income increased to around TEUR 33,002 (H1 2019/2020: TEUR 25,044). Correspondingly, the management expenses increased concurrently.
Total operating expenses overall increased but included non-recurring effects of TEUR 1,224 (H1 2019/2020: TEUR 828). Adjusted for non-recurring effects, operating expenses increased by approximately TEUR 653. This is mainly due to higher personnel expenses as a result of an enlarged workforce. In addition, TEUR 481 were recognised for higher value adjustments due to higher receivables.
The administrative expense ratio is as follows:
| TEUR | H1 2020/2021 | H1 2019/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Personnel expenses | -601 | -501 |
| Other operating expenses | -2,253 | -1,786 |
| Adjustment of one-time and special effects | 1,224 | 828 |
| Recurring administrative expenses | -1,630 | -1,459 |
| Rental income | 33,002 | 25,044 |
| Administrative expense ratio | 4.9 % | 5.8 % |
In summary, EBIT increased by TEUR 3,943 to TEUR 18,824.
Interest expense increased to TEUR 5,857 (H1 2019/2020: TEUR 4,163) due to a higher level of debt.
Furthermore, the interest expenses also include ground rents totalling TEUR 316 (H1 2019/2020: TEUR 288).
In H1 2019/2020, interest income of TEUR 3,277 resulted from the short-term investment of excess liquidity on a financing platform as well as a current loan of funds to Obotritia Capital KGaA (H1 2019/2020: TEUR 2,009).
This results in an overall reduction of the financial result by TEUR 426 to TEUR -2,580 (H1 2019/2020: TEUR -2,154).
Income taxes do not accrue due to the tax exemption of REIT companies.
Overall, this results in a profit of TEUR 16,244 for the period (H1 2019/2020: TEUR 12,727), from which FFO and aFFO derive as follows:
| TEUR | H1 2020/2021 | H1 2019/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit for the period | 16,244 | 12,727 |
| Adjustment of income taxes | 0 | 0 |
| Adjustment of depreciation | 6 | 5 |
| Adjustment of valuation result | 0 | 0 |
| Adjustment of net proceeds | 0 | 5 |
| Adjustment for non-cash expenses/income | 2,321 | 805 |
| Adjustment for one-time effects | 1,797 | 1,764 |
| FFO | 20,367 | 15,306 |
| - Capex | -9,664 | -8,059 |
| aFFO | 10,703 | 7,247 |
The non-cash income and expenses include the compounding of the convertible bonds and the loans using the effective interest method as well as accounting value adjustments on lockdown-related deferred rent receivables, which DKR nevertheless considers to be recoverable. The one-time effects include non-recurring expenses and income such as expenses unrelated to the accounting period and expenses for extraordinary projects like the secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
The capitalised repair costs mainly comprise value-enhancing modernisation and expansion measures at the properties in Hohenmölsen, Rostock, Greifswald – Dompassage and others.
This results in an FFO per share of EUR 0.58 (H1 2019/2020: EUR 0.48) and an aFFO of EUR 0.30 per share (H1 2019/2020: EUR 0.23).
Further details on the composition and amount of expenses and income are included in the appendix.
The first half of the 2020/2021 financial year continued to be influenced by the ongoing pandemic situation, which led to massive effects for large parts of the German retail sector due to the lockdowns imposed by the German government. DKR's tenants were mostly unaffected by this, as the property portfolio is mainly composed of non-cyclical tenants not affected by the lockdown – such as food retailers. In this respect, DKR has so far recorded only minor rent losses despite the challenging overall situation.
Business development in the first half of the 2020/2021 financial year was therefore overall successful. The purchase volume of approximately EUR 120 million is within the target range, although slightly below the previous year's level.
In this respect, the Management Board does not expect any significant impact on the forecast earnings. The Company currently has a very comfortable liquidity position to be able to act quickly in the event of purchase opportunities arising at short notice.
After the balance sheet date, the transfer of benefits and encumbrances of the acquired property City Center Northeim took place on 1 April 2021. Furthermore, the Spitzkrug Multi Center in Frankfurt/Oder (Brandenburg) was acquired, the transfer of benefits and encumbrances of which is expected to take place on 1 July 2021. In addition, DKR acquired the Dudo-Galerie in Saarbrücken/Dudweiler (Saarland) by notarisation in May 2021.
In addition, on the financing side, DKR took out another five-year unsecured promissory note loan of EUR 10.0 million at an annual interest rate of 2.55% after the balance sheet date. Furthermore, a new unsecured ten-year corporate bond with a volume of EUR 20.0 million and an interest rate of 3.1% was taken out at the end of April 2021.
Through its business activities, DKR is exposed to operational and economic opportunities and risks. Please refer to the detailed presentation in the Management Report of the Annual Report 2019/2020 in the section "Opportunity and risk report".
In the opinion of the Management Board, the risk position has not materially changed or worsened since 1 October 2020. This also applies to the risks from the COVID 19 pandemic. Although a precise forecast of the future course of the pandemic is still not possible, DKR considers the effects on its own overall risk situation to be generally low due to its largely non-cyclical and defensive business model.
The 2020/2021 financial year continues to be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected large parts of the retail sector, especially shops without everyday consumer goods, due to the ongoing second lockdown since mid-November 2020. The overall impact of this on the development of DKR's business year cannot yet be determined finally. Nevertheless, due to the current decline in the number of infections and the large-scale launch of the vaccination campaign in Germany, there is an expectation that the overall environment will normalise in the foreseeable future.
In this respect, DKR's operational focus in the 2020/2021 financial year will continue to be on efficient portfolio management, the revitalisation of assets and the acquisition of further retail properties in accordance with the investment criteria. In particular, the investment focus will be on properties with system-relevant and noncyclical tenants and the best possible micro-locations.
Based on the positive business development to date and the transfer of benefits and encumbrances of the properties acquired in the coming quarters, we confirm our forecast and expect an FFO of between EUR 42 million and EUR 45 million in the 2020/2021 financial year.
We also confirm our forecast to achieve an FFO run rate of between EUR 47 million and EUR 51 million as of 30 September 2021.

EPRA is a non-profit organisation based in Brussels that represents the interests of the European real estate industry and has developed standardised ratios that ensure a high level of comparability between real estate companies. Since October 2017, DKR has been a full member of EPRA and publishes the EPRA key figures according to Best Practice Recommendations (BPR) for the first time since the 2016/2017 financial year.
For the 2018/2019 financial year, DKR received the EPRA BPR Gold Award for the first time for the EPRA reporting in its annual report.
For the first half of the financial year 2020/2021 the EPRA KPIs of DKR are as follows:
The EPRA Earnings represent the result from the ongoing property management. Valuation effects and proceeds from disposals are not considered.
| TEUR | H1 2020/2021 | H1 2019/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Period result | 16,243.9 | 12,726.9 |
| – Valuation result | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| – Sale result | 0.0 | 5.0 |
| EPRA Earnings | 16,243.9 | 12,731.9 |
| EPRA Earnings per share, EUR | 0.46 | 0.40 |
The EPRA initial net return is the annualised annual rent less non-recoverable management costs in relation to the current portfolio value and, thus, represents the current portfolio return.
EPRA "Topped-up" NIY includes temporarily existing rent-free periods. Currently there are no material rent-free incentives at DKR.
| TEUR | 31/03/2021 | 30/09/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Market value of investment properties | 871,231.8 | 809,928.6 |
| + Transaction costs | 56,623.8 | 53,592.6 |
| Gross market value of investment properties | 972,855.6 | 863,521.2 |
| Annualised rental income | 66,616.2 | 63,050.1 |
| - Non-recoverable management costs | -13,323.2 | -12,610.0 |
| Annualised net rental income | 53,292.9 | 50,440.1 |
| + Rent-free periods | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Annualised "Topped-up" net rental income | 53,292.9 | 50,440.1 |
| EPRA initial net return | 5.7% | 5.8% |
| EPRA "Topped-up" NIY | 5.7% | 5.8% |
The EPRA cost ratios relate the current property-specific management expenses as well as the administrative and management expenses to the rental income and, therefore, show the cost burden of the management platform in relation to the rental income.
| TEUR | H1 2020/2021 | H1 2019/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Expenses from property management | 10,451.7 | 6,411.1 |
| + Personnel expenses | 600.0 | 500.6 |
| + Other recurring operating expenses | 259.5 | 670.4 |
| - Other income | -194.4 | -60.3 |
| EPRA costs incl. direct vacancy costs | 11,117.4 | 7,521.7 |
| - direct vacancy costs | -1,060.2 | -614.7 |
| EPRA costs excl. direct vacancy costs | 10,057.2 | 6,907.1 |
| Rental income | 33,001.8 | 25,043.8 |
| EPRA cost ratio A | 33.7 % | 30.0 % |
| EPRA cost ratio B | 30.5 % | 27.6 % |
In contrast to pure vacancy, the EPRA vacancy rate reflects the economic vacancy based on the market rent of the vacant space in relation to the total rent of the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The estimated underlying market rents result from the real estate appraisals of the external and independent appraiser CBRE GmbH, Berlin. The decrease in the EPRA vacancy rate is mainly due to a higher proportion of leasable vacant space in the portfolio.
| TEUR | 31/03/2021 | 30/09/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Potential rent for vacant space | 2,856.3 | 2,763.6 |
| Annualised rental income | 66,616.2 | 63,050.1 |
| EPRA vacancy rate | 4.3 % | 4.4 % |
From a like-for-like perspective which means without the inclusion of acquisitions or disposals within the last financial year, the key figures of the property portfolio developed as follows:
| TEUR | 31/03/2021 | 31/03/2020 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net rent/m² per month | 6.23 | 6.21 | 0.3% |
| Vacancy (%) | 7.4 | 8.2 | -9.4% |
| WALT (years) | 5.3 | 5.4 | -1.9% |
The EPRA NAV represents the long-term value of the Company as at the balance sheet date. In this respect, shortterm valuation effects of financial instruments from hedging relationships or deferred tax effects are not taken into account and eliminated from equity.
The so-called EPRA NNNAV, on the other hand, depicts the short-term intrinsic value of the Company by disclosing hidden reserves and burdens and includes the shortterm valuation effects from interest hedges and deferred taxes.
Since DKR is exempt from VAT as a REIT and has not entered into any interest rate hedges, these adjustments need not be made. As a result, equity, EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV are currently identical.
The EPRA NAV per share (undiluted) as of 31 March 2021 is as follows:
| TEUR | 31/03/2021 | 30/09/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Equity (TEUR) | 392,846.0 | 390,664.5 |
| Number of shares at the balance sheet date | 35,155,938 | 35,155,938 |
| EPRA NAV per share, EUR | 11.17 | 11.11 |
Taking into account a conversion of the two convertible bonds, the EPRA NAV per share (diluted) on 31 March 2021 is as follows:
| TEUR | 31/03/2021 | 30/09/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Equity (TEUR) | 429,228.9 | 426,973.1 |
| Number of shares at the balance sheet date | 49,957,264 | 49,619,490 |
| (after exercising the conversion options) | ||
| EPRA NAV per share, EUR | 8.59 | 8.60 |
For companies whose financial years begin in 2020, new EPRA Guidelines are to be applied. Therefore, EPRA has changed the definition of the NAV and subdivided it into three new key figures:
EPRA Reinstatement Value (EPRA NRV), which essentially represents the reconstruction value of the real estate portfolio including transaction costs;
EPRA Net Tangible Assets (EPRA NTA), which excludes intangible assets, including goodwill, from consideration; EPRA Net Disposal Value (EPRA NDV), which assumes the sale of the real estate portfolio and thus in general requires a fair value measurement of deferred taxes and derivative financial instruments. Due to the income tax exemption of REITs, the consideration of deferred taxes in the DKR is not applicable at this point.
All key figures are to be determined on a fully diluted basis, in the case of DKR taking into account the effects of outstanding convertible bonds. DKR considers the "EPRA NTA" to be the relevant key figure, comparable to the previous "EPRA NAV", and will report this on a quarterly basis:

Selected explanatory notes to the half-yearly financial report as of 31 March 2021
Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG is a Germany-based and nationally active real estate corporation headquartered in Broderstorf, registered in the Commercial Register of the Local Court of Rostock, HRB 13072. The business address is August-Bebel-Str. 68 in 14482 Potsdam. As of 1 January 2016, the Company has the status of a REIT ("Real Estate Investment Trust") and is, therefore, exempt from income tax. Main business field is the management of commercial real estate in Germany. The focus is on activities that are geared towards the long-term and sustained increase in the value of the real estate portfolio. In doing so, compliance with the REIT criteria must always be considered.
The present half-yearly financial report of Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG ("Deutsche Konsum", "DKR" or "Company") as of 31 March 2021 was prepared in accordance with the provisions of § 115 WpHG (German Securities Trading Act).
The condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applied in the EU and with the provisions of IAS 34 ("Interim Financial Reporting"). In addition, the provisions of German Accounting Standard 16 (DRS 16 - Interim Financial Reporting) have been considered.
The reporting period covers the first six months ("H1") of the 2020/2021 financial year. The balance sheet as of 30 September 2020 and the income statement for the period from 1 October 2019 to 31 March 2020 serve as comparative figures.
The accounting policies, notes and disclosures in the separate interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies that were used in the separate financial statements as of 30 September 2020.
These interim financial statements do not include all the information recquired for annual financial statements and should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the separate financial statements as of 30 September 2020. The separate interim financial statements were prepared under the assumption of going concern and were neither audited nor subjected to an audit review.
The interim financial statements are prepared in Euros (EUR). Unless otherwise indicated, all values are presented in thousands of Euros (TEUR). This can result in rounding differences. The profit and loss account is prepared according to the total cost method.
An appraisal of real estate holdings is usually done annually by an external and independent expert on 30 June. Fair value is measured using internationally recognised valuation techniques and is based on information provided by the Company, e.g. current rentals, maintenance and administrative costs or the current vacancy, as well as assumptions of the appraiser based on market data and judged on the basis of their professional qualifications, e.g. future market rentals, typical maintenance and administration costs, structural vacancy rates or discount and capitalisation rates (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). For the valuation as of 31 March 2021, the principles were applied as they were on 30 September 2020. In the valuation of the first-time recognition, the acquisition or production costs as well as the transaction costs are included. In the subsequent valuation, value-increasing measures are considered when measuring the fair value.
The information provided to the appraiser and the assumptions made as well as the results of the real estate valuation are analysed by the Management Board.
In the period from 1 October 2020 to 31 March 2021, the transfer of benefits and encumbrances in favour of the Company was carried out for 10 properties with a volume of TEUR 51,639.6 (H1 2019/2020: TEUR 72,966.7). Furthermore, value-enhancing measures amounting to TEUR 9,663.6 (H1 2019/2020: 9,618.7) were made. In addition, purchase price deposits on notary accounts and ancillary acquisition costs for one property in the amount of TEUR 27,019.8 (30/09/2020: TEUR 15,533.7) were made.
