Having taken over the helm on the Management Board of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG, it is my pleasure to present the quarterly report for the opening quarter of 2020 to you today. During the first three months of the year, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG took several strategic steps that will define the long-term growth trajectory of our company.
For one thing, we cleared another milestone in the annals of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG with the unsecured bond over the amount of EUR 250 million, which will enable us to sustain an above-average level of activity on the German housing market, especially in uncertain times like these. The non-recurrent costs in the amount of c. EUR 4 million toward outstanding interest and transaction costs associable with the old bond that impact the net income of the first quarter represent anticipated and predictable one-off items. They are offset by a strategic freedom of action that few real estate companies can take advantage of.
This makes it all the more important for ACCENTRO Real Estate AG to keep pursuing its long-term strategy of growth and expansion on Germany's residential property market. We successfully resumed our acquisition activities during the first quarter of 2020. All in, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG acquired 403 residential and commercial units with a combined usable area of 24,000 square metres in Berlin, Potsdam as well as in the greater Leipzig area during the first three months of 2020. This means that ACCENTRO Real Estate AG acquired nearly twice as many residential units in Q1 2020 than it did during the prior-year period (210 units).
The fact that these acquisitions are matched by robust sales figures during the first quarter has reassured us of the probity of the course we chose while also reaffirming our faith in the German residential property market. We sold EUR 26.6 million worth of flats during the first quarter of 2020, thereof nearly EUR 19 million from our own portfolio and
EUR 7.6 million as service provider on behalf of third parties. To be added to the total are another 106 flats already notarised whose transfer of benefits and burdens has been impossible to complete so far because the land registries have been closed (due to COVID-19); their sales equal an additional total of c. EUR 31 million.
The company has not been spared the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, we will be forced to convene our annual general meeting as virtual event for the first time. In a sense, however, the move is in line with the digital strategy ACCENTRO Real Estate AG pursues anyway. So, I am actually very much looking forward to welcoming you digitally on 24 June 2020.

Kind regards,
Lars Schriewer Management Board
All monetary figures in this report are quoted in Euro (EUR). Both individual and total figures represent the value with the smallest rounding difference. Accordingly, adding the values of the individual line items may result in minor differences compared to the reported totals.
The ACCENTRO Group's key revenue and earnings figures developed as follows during the first three months of the 2020 financial year:
| 3 months 2020 |
3 months 2019 |
|
|---|---|---|
| EUR million | EUR million | |
| Consolidated revenues | 14.9 | 14.8 |
| EBIT | 0.4 | 2.0 |
| Consolidated income | –7.9 | 0.2 |
The consolidated revenues added up to EUR 14.9 million during the three-month period of the 2020 financial year. Based on EBIT in the amount of EUR 0.4 million translated into a quarterly result of EUR –7.9 million. It is materially influenced by the expenses of the bond issue and the interest charge from the premature repayment of the 2018/2021 bond. As with previous years, the first quarter is not indicative of the business performance of the remainder of the year.
At EUR 2.2 million, the total payroll and benefit costs increased since the reference period, when they had totalled EUR 1.3 million. In addition to the increased number of employees, the Management Board changes also caused a one-off rise in staff costs to increase in March 2020. As of 31 March 2020, ACCENTRO had a total of 60 persons on its payroll.
The net interest income for the first three months of 2020 (EUR –6.4 million; reference period: EUR –1.4 million) is explained by the premature repayment of the 2017/2021 bond in the amount of EUR 100 million. This necessitated a reversal to expense in the amount of EUR 0.8 million in financing costs paid the previous year and accrued in accordance with IFRS 9. In addition, subscribers of the 2018/2021 bond received a one-off payment totalling EUR 3.3 million in connection with the redemption of the previous bond.
The earnings before taxes equalled EUR –6.0 million, down from EUR 0.7 million at the end of the reference period. With income taxes of EUR –1.9 million (reference period: EUR –0.5 million) taken into account, this results in a consolidated income of EUR –7.9 million (reference period: EUR 0.2 million). The income taxes represent essentially taxes deferred in connection with the accrued issuance expenses of the 2021/2023 bond.
| Key Figures from the Cash Flow Statement | 3 months 2020 |
3 months 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| EUR million | EUR million | |
| Operating cash flow before de-/reinvestments in inventory properties |
–2.0 | 6.6 |
| (–) Increase/(+) decrease in inventory properties | –44.1 | –16.1 |
| Cash flow from operating activities | –46.1 | –9.5 |
| Cash flow from investment activities | –55.5 | 2.1 |
| Cash flow from financing activities | 103.7 | 11.9 |
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | 2.0 | 4.6 |
| Consolidation-related change in cash and cash equivalents | 0.0 | 0.1 |
| Change in restricted cash and cash equivalents | –0.8 | –0.0 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period | 24.2 | 15.5 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period | 25.4 | 20.1 |
The negative cash flow before divestment/reinvestment in inventory property in the amount of EUR –2.0 million (reference period: EUR 6.6 million) is essentially due to the negative quarterly result of EUR 7.9 million. As with prior years, the cash flow from current operations is influenced by investments in the trading portfolio. Our growth in real estate inventory, which has been continuous for years, resulted in an ultimately negative operative cash flow from current operations.
The cash flow from investment activities amounted to EUR –55.5 million during the reporting period (reference period: EUR 2.1 million), and is the result of a swing loan granted.
The cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR 103.7 million during the reporting period (reference period: EUR 11.9 million) and is dominated by the cash inflow of EUR 253.2 million from a bond issue and by proceeds from loans and borrowings. This is matched by a cash outflow of EUR 137.9 million in payments of interest and principal, breaking down into EUR 100 million for the premature redemption of the 2018/2021 bond, and EUR 37.9 million for the repayment of bank facilities. The outflow for interest and financing costs during the quarter under review amounted to EUR 11.6 million (cash outflow during reference period: EUR 2.6 million), which was materially influenced by the expenses of the bond issue and the interest expenses from the premature repayment of the 2018/2021 bond.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 25.4 million as of 31 March 2020, compared to EUR 24.2 million as of 31 December 2019.
| Key Figures from the Balance Sheet | 31 March 2020 | 31 March 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| EUR million | EUR million | |
| Non-current assets | 103.1 | 102.5 |
| Owner-occupied properties and buildings | 24.3 | 24.1 |
| Investment properties | 34.5 | 34.5 |
| Non-current other receivables | 14.7 | 14.8 |
| Equity investments and equity interests accounted for using the equity method |
9.3 | 9.3 |
| Other non-current assets | 20.3 | 19.9 |
| Current assets | 580.7 | 478.3 |
| Inventory properties | 460.7 | 416.6 |
| Trade receivables and other current assets | 94.6 | 37.5 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 25.4 | 24.2 |
| Non-current liabilities | 325.2 | 215.9 |
| Current liabilities | 145.5 | 144.0 |
| Shareholders' equity | 213.2 | 220.8 |
| Total assets | 683.9 | 580.8 |
The total assets increased by EUR 103.1 million since the balance sheet date of 31 December 2019, climbing to a sum total of EUR 683.9 million. The main reason for this are investments in inventory properties in the amount of EUR 44.1 million (previous year: EUR 16.1 million) and a loan granted in the amount of EUR 55 million. Cash and cash equivalents changed but minimally since year-end 2019, increasing by EUR 1.2 million.
The non-current liabilities are essentially defined by the new issue of a bond over a nominal amount of EUR 250 million and the repayment of the 2018/2021 bond over EUR 100 million in February. Liabilities to banks were substantially reduced by EUR 38.0 million as a result of loan repayments. The sum total of current liabilities changed but minimally since year-end 2019, increasing by EUR 1.5 million. As in the reference period, the current assets significantly exceeded the current liabilities.
During the reporting period, the shareholders' equity of the ACCENTRO Group declined from EUR 220.8 million as of 31 December 2019 to EUR 213.2 million by 31 March 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the negative consolidated income of EUR 7.9 million. Since the rapid rise in total assets by 17.8% since year-end 2019 coincides with a decrease in shareholders' equity, the equity ratio dropped to 31.2%, down from 38.0% on 31 December 2019.
The balance sheet structure has experienced no material changes since year-end 2019. The loan-to-cost ratio (LTC) rose from 43.1% to 50.8% by 31 March 2020.
The economic situation of the ACCENTRO Group remained unchanged during the first three months of the 2020 financial year. The Management Board of ACCENTRO AG therefore reaffirms its account of the economic situation previously made in the 2019 annual report, which was published on 26 March 2020.
On 18 March 2020, Lars Schriewer was appointed as sole member of the Management Board of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG. Jacopo Mingazzini, the former sole member of the Management Board of ACCENTRO AG, left the company on his own accord as of 18 March 2020.
Effective as of 31 March 2020, Dr. Dirk Hoffmann resigned from the Supervisory Board of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG. Carsten Wolff was appointed to succeed him.
No events of material significance for ACCENTRO AG or its Group companies occurred between the end of Q1 2020 and the date on which the report for the same quarter was completed.
In the 2019 annual report, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG predicted a modest one-year rise in revenues for the 2020 financial year (baseline figure: EUR 143.3 million) combined with earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) more or less equal to the prior-year level (baseline figure: EUR 39.8 million).
Achieving this EBIT forecast by the end of the year would presuppose, above all, a return to economic normalcy and a rescission of the restrictions in the private and business sectors during the second half of 2020. Assuming that the current constraints will be gradually phased out, ACCENTRO AG upholds its current forecast.
On Wednesday, 25 March 2020, the Germany Parliament unanimously passed the draft bill submitted by the Christian Democrat bloc and the Social Democrats for the mitigation of consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in civil, insolvency and criminal proceedings. As far as tenancies of plots of land or accommodation go, the new draft bill restricts the right of landlords to terminate tenancies. ACCENTRO AG does not believe that the new regulations will have adverse consequences for the Company, and has noted no collection losses of relevance as of the time this quarterly statement is published.
The signing of deeds when selling condominiums is currently hampered by the limited capacities of land registries and banks. With people working increasingly from home and with the manpower of banks and authorities reduced as a result, priority notices of conveyance or land charges are entered into land registers with some delay, while the workflow for loan approvals by the buyers' banks has slowed. For ACCENTRO AG, the situation implies a delayed transfer of benefits and burdens and therefore delays in the associated revenue recognition. We are likely to see the effects in the second and third quarter of 2020. That said, ACCENTRO AG expects its revenue recognition to be delayed, rather than expecting revenues to be lost.
The currently effective contact restrictions and social distancing rules have prompted ACCENTRO Real Estate AG to postpone the sales launches of several projects, originally planned for the second quarter, until the third quarter of 2020.

Developments on the German stock market during the first quarter of 2020 were defined by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially since February. The German Stock Index DAX suffered a historic crash during that first quarter, losing around 25% of its value, whereas the ACCENTRO stock actually showed a gain of 1.96% by 31 March 2020 compared to the first trading day of Q1.
During the opening weeks of 2020, Germany's stock markets showed a rather brisk performance. For one thing, the ACCENTRO share price, which was quoted at EUR 7.65 on the first trading day of 2020 (Xetra), climbed to EUR 10.10 by 14 February 2020, the share price high for the first quarter of 2020. The DAX actually achieved a new all-time high of 13,640 points on 22 February 2020. The widening spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany prompted massive price falls on the country's stock markets. Particularly hard hit by the development are sectors like the automotive industry, aviation and tourism, among others. The DAX ultimately lost the price gains of roughly the past six years within the shortest period of time. On 18 March 2020, at the end of the trading day, the index closed at 8,441.4 points.
In the real estate sector, the segments most affected are gastronomy and hotels, the retail property market, and in some cases even office rents have come under pressure. The fact is reflected in the performance of the German real estate equity index DIMAX, which suffered a drop of about 18% during the first three months of 2020. For a short period of time, even the stock of ACCENTRO AG was unable to dodge the general trend, temporarily falling to EUR 7.15 on 17 March 2020. But while the sense of uncertainty concerning the economic outlook lingers in many industries, the residential property market is comparatively robust. Major trends such as the ongoing urbanisation have not lost momentum, while interest rates remain low, and buying a condominium is still more attractive than renting a flat. Accordingly, the ACCENTRO stock recovered by the end of the first quarter and, with a closing price of EUR 7.80, actually registered a modest gain on 31 March 2020.
The average daily trading volume (Xetra) of ACCENTRO stock during the first quarter of 2020 was 4,577 units. Overall, 0.29 million shares of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG were traded in the Xetra trading system between 2 January 2020 and 31 March 2020. The low trading volume is mainly explained by the Company's relatively small free float of 11.91%.
Due to the increased share price, the market capitalisation of ACCENTRO AG increased by EUR 4.87 million during Q1 2020, rising from EUR 248.1 million to EUR 253.0 million.
