Notes

for the 2019 fiscal year of Vonovia SE, Bochum

A. General Information

I. Fundamentals of the Company

Vonovia SE (hereinafter also referred to as: Vonovia) is the parent company of the Vonovia Group and thus performs the function of management holding company for the Group. In this function, it is responsible for determining and pursuing the overall strategy and implementing the company's goals. It also performs property management, financing, service and coordination tasks for the Group. Furthermore, it is responsible for the management, control and monitoring system as well as risk management. To carry out these management functions, Vonovia also maintains service companies and thus generates corresponding harmonization and standardization effects, as well as economies of scale.

Vonovia is entered in the Bochum company register (company register no. HRB 16879). The company's registered headquarters are in Bochum, Universitätsstraße 133.

Vonovia has been listed in the DAX segment of the German stock exchange (Deutsche Börse AG) since September 21, 2015. The stock exchange lists Vonovia with the ticker symbol VNA. Vonovia is a capital market-oriented company within the meaning of Section 264d of the German Commercial Code (HGB), meaning that is considered to be a large corporation within the meaning of Section 267 HGB.

Based on the German stock exchange's definition of free float, only the interest held by Norges Bank (Norwegian Ministry of Finance) does not count towards the so-called "free float." 93.4% of Vonovia's shares were thereby in free float on December 31, 2019. In accordance with Vonovia's long-term strategic focus, its largest individual shareholders are pension funds and other funds with a similarly long-term focus. The company's market capitalization amounted to around € 26.0 billion as of December 31, 2019. In addition to the DAX, the Vonovia share is listed in the international indices STOXX Europe 600, MSCI Germany, GPR 250, GPTMS150 and EPRA/NAREIT Europe.

The rating agency Standard & Poor's has assigned Vonovia a long-term corporate credit rating of BBB+ with a stable outlook and a short-term credit rating of A-2. This rating was confirmed in the letter dated September 23, 2019, and takes Hembla AB into account.

On December 13, 2019, Vonovia received an A- rating from the largest European rating agency Scope Group for the first time, slightly better than the BBB+ rating assigned by Standard & Poor's, which is also in the investment grade range.

As the parent company of the Vonovia Group, Vonovia prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS standards as they are to be applied in the EU and in accordance with the supplementary commercial law provisions under Section 315e (1) HGB. The annual and consolidated financial statements are published in the electronic Federal Gazette. Furthermore, the consolidated financial statements can be accessed on the company's website.

In application of Section 315 (5) HGB in conjunction with Section 298 (2) HGB, the management report of Vonovia was combined and published together with the consolidated financial statements.

II. Significant company law measures in the fiscal year

In the 2019 fiscal year, Vonovia implemented follow-up measures to further optimize the corporate structures of the Austrian conwert Group and the BUWOG Group, which it acquired. This also has a material effect on the transfer of the German companies and, as a consequence, on their business to Germany.

As part of these measures, BUWOG Group GmbH, Vienna, Austria (hereinafter referred to in short as BUWOG) transferred receivables in the amount of € 2,405.0 million to DAH Acquisition GmbH, Vienna, Austria, by means of a notarized demerger and acquisition agreement of August 20, 2019, with retroactive effect from January 1, 2019. This is then to be used to settle the outstanding purchase price payments from the corporate restructuring in 2018 by way of offsetting. DAH Acquisition GmbH is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Annington Acquisition Holding GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany (hereinafter referred to in short as "DAAH"), in which Vonovia also held and holds all shares directly, as in the case of BUWOG.

The indirect carve out of the receivables from BUWOG to DAAH led to an identical value-based reclassification between the shares concerned, in proportion to value of the carved-out assets to the total assets which also led to a disclosure of hidden reserves of € 99.4 million.

Furthermore, Vonovia contributed 100% of the shares in BUWOG to BUWOG Beteiligungs GmbH, Vienna, Austria, by means of a notarized contribution and assignment agreement of October 30, 2019, without granting new shares. BUWOG Beteiligungs GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of conwert Immobilien Invest GmbH, Vienna, Austria, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vonovia SE.

The indirect contribution of the BUWOG shares to conwert Immobilien Invest GmbH led to an identical reclassification between the respective shares, which also resulted in the disclosure of hidden reserves amounting to € 364.9 million.

After exercising two call options and concluding the public takeover offer to acquire all the shares in Victoria Park AB (publ), Malmö, Sweden, via its subsidiary DAAH, Vonovia was in possession of 91.4% of the total number of shares and 94.4% of total voting rights. Vonovia then asked the Board of Directors of Victoria Park to initiate a squeeze-out procedure for the acquisition of all shares still remaining in Victoria Park in line with the Swedish Companies Act. Furthermore, the Board of Directors resolved to apply for delisting of the Victoria Park ordinary shares of class A and class B from Nasdaq Stockholm. The last day of trading was June 18, 2019. The shares were transferred to Vonovia on November 27, 2019 – except for the remaining 110 units.

As a result of the measures referred to above – and the special circumstances already outlined in the prior year's financial statements – a number of items in the balance sheet and income statement are only partly comparable to the prior year.

III. Acquisitions and Divestments

On September 23, 2019, Vonovia announced that it had signed a contract for the purchase of 69.30% of voting rights and 61.19% of share capital in Hembla AB (publ), Stockholm, Sweden, via its subsidiary HomeStar InvestCo AB, Stockholm, Sweden. As a result of the transaction, Vonovia became the owner of 6,136,989 Class A Hembla shares and 50,722,985 Class B Hembla shares. The parties have agreed to a purchase price of SEK 215.00 per share (irrespective of share class). The total price for all shares forming part of the transaction came to SEK 12,224,894,410.00, or around € 1.142 billion.

On November 5, 2019, Vonovia was given the green light from Sweden's merger control authority for the acquisition of the shares in Hembla AB (publ). Once the acquisition of the majority of the shares was formalized, Vonovia published the mandatory offer for the remaining Hembla shares, which included a cash settlement for the shareholders of Hembla AB (publ) of SEK 215 per Class B share.

As of December 31, 2019, Vonovia held 6,136,989 Class A shares and 81,282,426 Class B shares in Hembla, representing approximately 95.3% of the voting rights and approximately 94.1% of the share capital. When the original acceptance deadline expired on December 9, 2019, it was extended once to January 8, 2020. Given that Vonovia held more than 90% of Hembla shares once the first phase of the public takeover offer was completed, Vonovia asked the Board of Directors of Hembla AB to initiate delisting and a squeeze-out procedure under Swedish law. Delisting took place on January 10, 2020.

Vonovia successfully sold its roughly 16.8 million shares in Deutsche Wohnen SE to institutional investors as of February 1, 2019, by means of an accelerated book building procedure; the shares were sold for a price of € 41.50 per share. This corresponds to a customary market discount of 4.8% on the closing price of € 43.59 as of January 31, 2019. It equates to total proceeds of € 698.1 million. The acquisition costs at the time amounted to € 405.5 million, resulting in a book gain of € 292.6 million from this disposal in the 2019 annual financial statements of Vonovia SE.

IV. Information on Significant Financial Relations

In July 2017, a loan agreement in the amount of € 300 million was concluded with the European Investment Bank, Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, for the purpose of conducting energy-efficient refurbishment of residential property. The loan was drawn in full in December 2017 and has a term of eight years. The contract offers a reduced rate of interest, provided it can be demonstrated that the funds are used within the first four years of the term.

In addition, there is a general guarantee facility agreement in place between Vonovia and Commerzbank AG, Frankfurt am Main, which was originally concluded in the 2015 fiscal year for a volume of € 10 million and was increased to € 25 million in December 2019. At the end of the fiscal year, bills of exchange of around € 7.3 million had been drawn under this general agreement by companies of the Vonovia Group. At the beginning of the 2019 fiscal year, there was another general guarantee facility agreement in place between Commerzbank AG and Vonovia for € 50 million, from which bills of exchange had also been drawn in the full amount. This agreement expired as scheduled on September 30, 2019, as the underlying guarantee was no longer needed.

Within the BUWOG subportfolio, three guarantee lines were in place that could be used on a revolving basis with Atradius Credit Insurance N.V., Swiss Re International SE and VHV Allgemeine Versicherung AG. In December 2019, Vonovia concluded new contracts with Atradius Credit Insurance N.V. and Swiss Re International SE for a total volume of € 70 million. The guarantees outstanding under the original contracts were transferred to these new contracts. The original guarantee lines with Atradius and Swiss Re were terminated in December 2019. The outstanding guarantees of € 20 million from the general agreement with VHV are expected to be transferred to a recently concluded general guarantee agreement with Vonovia in the first quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2019, € 13.4 million of these general guarantee agreements had been drawn.

In accordance with the cash pooling agreement based on the arm's length principle, Vonovia, as the main account holder and cash pool manager, performs the intra-Group cash pooling for Group companies domiciled in Germany. conwert Treasury OG, Vienna, Austria, acts as the cash pool manager for the Austrian conwert Group companies. This function is performed for the Austrian BUWOG companies by BUWOG Group GmbH, Vienna, Austria. The purpose of cash pooling is to optimize liquidity management and the Group's financial result. The receivables and payables arising from profit-and-loss transfer agreements with the direct subsidiaries of Vonovia are directly offset with the balances from cash pooling.

B. Accounting Policies

The annual financial statements for the fiscal year from January 1 to December 31, 2019, have been prepared in euros according to the accounting principles of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The amounts disclosed in the Notes are in euros (€), thousands of euros (€ k), millions of euros (€ million) or billions of euros (€ billion).

The balance sheet has been structured pursuant to the requirements of Section 266 HGB, whereas the income statement has been structured in accordance with Section 275 (2) HGB. The income statement has been prepared using the expense method.

For the sake of clarity, the statements relating to balance sheet and income statement items as required under HGB are included in the Notes, along with the statements that may be made in the balance sheet, income statement, or the Notes.

Intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.

Fixtures, furniture and office equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over periods of between three and 13 years. New movable assets are depreciated exclusively pro rata temporis. Minor fixed assets, i. e., assets whose acquisition cost is up to and including € 800.00, are written off in full in their year of purchase and treated as disposed of.

Financial assets are reported at acquisition cost.

Interest-free and low-interest loans are stated at their present values, with other loans being reported at their face value.

Insofar as assets are measured as of the balance sheet date at what is expected to be a permanently lower fair value than the value arrived at using the accounting policies outlined above, this will be accounted for by means of impairment.

Insofar as the reason for impairment no longer applies, a reversal of impairment losses pursuant to Section 253 (5) HGB will be shown.

Receivables and other assets are stated at their nominal value. Allowance is made for all discernible individual risks by stating values cautiously. Any further general risks are covered by general valuation allowances.

Cash-in-hand and bank balances are measured at nominal value as of the balance sheet date.

Prepaid expenses are expenses incurred prior to the balance sheet date insofar as they constitute expenses for a certain period after this date.

The provisions of Section 272 HGB as well as Sections 150 et seq. AktG apply to the accounting treatment of equity.

Subscribed capital is valued at its nominal value.

The provisions allow for all discernible risks and uncertain obligations. Provisions are established in the amount of the fulfillment amount considered necessary using reasonable commercial judgment.

With provisions with a residual term of more than one year, future price and cost increases are taken into consideration, and discounting to the balance sheet date is performed. The interest rates corresponding to the residual terms of the provisions are used, as announced by the Deutsche Bundesbank in accordance with the German Provision Discounting Ordinance (Rückstellungsabzinsungsverordnung).

Provisions for pensions and similar obligations are determined on the basis of recognized actuarial principles using the projected unit credit method. In accordance with Section 253 (2) sentence 2 HGB, a residual term of 15 years is assumed. A discount rate of 2.71% p. a. is therefore used for the valuation. The biometric basis for calculation is the 2018 G version of the Heubeck mortality tables. The projected salary trend is assumed to be 2.75% p. a. and the projected pension trend 1.75% p. a.

The difference arising from the different measurement of pension obligations based on a seven-year/ten-year average interest rate pursuant to Section 253 (6) HGB comes to € 9,941 k as of December 31, 2019 (prior year: € 10,521 k).

Reinsurance contracts for the pension benefits of individual persons were taken out against payment of a one-off insurance premium. Furthermore, securities and, to a minor extent, deposits at banking institutions are held that also serve to secure the pension claims. The invested assets were pledged in favor of the beneficiaries and cannot be accessed by other creditors. They will be offset against the underlying obligations as what are known as "plan assets" in accordance with Section 246 (2) sentence 2 HGB.

The provisions for obligations related to pre-retirement part-time work arrangements are determined in line with actuarial principles using the projected unit credit method with a discount rate of 0.63% p. a. and an assumed residual term of four years. The projected salary trend is assumed to be 2.50% p. a. The Heubeck 2018 G mortality tables are taken as a basis for the calculation.

The other non-current personnel provisions for anniversary bonuses and temporary assistance were calculated using the projected unit credit method, applying actuarial principles, at an interest rate of 1.96% p. a. based on the 2018 G version of the Heubeck tables. A general residual term of 15 years is assumed. The projected salary trend for temporary assistance is assumed to be 2.75% p. a.

Liabilities are stated at the settlement amount.

In line with Section 274 HGB, deferred taxes are determined according to the balance sheet-based concept. Deferred taxes are determined for temporary differences between the amount of assets, liabilities, prepaid expenses and deferred income in the commercial financial statements and those prepared for tax purposes, including loss carryforwards that can be taken into account. As well as differences resulting from its own balance sheet items, Vonovia also includes those relating to subsidiaries and partnerships in which it holds a direct or indirect participating interest through its subsidiaries. Deferred taxes are measured with regard to corporate income tax and the solidarity charge on the basis of a tax rate of 15.825% and with regard to municipal trade tax on the basis of a tax rate of 16.485%. Deferred taxes of the same kind are shown netted. Any resulting overall excess of tax obligations is recognized in the balance sheet as deferred tax liabilities. The option under Section 274 (1) HGB is exercised, and capitalization of any possible net deferred tax asset is dispensed with.

C. Notes to the Balance Sheet

(1) Fixed Assets

The development in individual items of the assets column is shown in the statement of changes in fixed assets along with the depreciation and amortization in the fiscal year. The statement of changes in fixed assets is included as Annex 1 to the Notes.

(2) Financial Assets

The list of Vonovia shareholdings is provided in Annex 2 to the Notes.

The changes in long-term financial assets in the 2019 fiscal year are mainly attributable to the increase in shares in affiliated companies amounting to 5,621.8 million and the decrease in other investments by € 405.4 million due to the sale of shares in Deutsche Wohnen SE.

The increase in shares in affiliated companies of € 5,152.3 million relates to the contribution of a receivable of Vonovia to the capital reserves of DAAH, as determined by shareholder resolution by means of the contractually agreed assignment of part of the receivable due from the existing cash pooling of Vonovia. A further € 464.3 million relates to the disclosure of hidden reserves in shares in affiliated companies (see also the comments under Section A. II).

(3) Receivables and Other Assets

Receivables from affiliated companies mainly result from cash pooling in the amount of € 2,736,883 k (prior year: € 3,928,479 k) and the granting of current intercompany loans in the amount of € 1,058,996 k (prior year: € 744,349 k).

(4) Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses include, among other things, amounts paid for future IT maintenance expenses and insurance services.

(5) Subscribed Capital

The subscribed capital represents the company's share capital. As of December 31, 2019, the share capital amounted to € 542,273,611.00, split into 542,273,611 no-par-value registered shares. The shares are uncertificated.

Authorized Capital

By way of a resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 9, 2018, in Bochum, a new 2018 authorized capital was created in the amount of € 242,550,413.00, which after utilization amounts to € 218,354,736.00. On the basis of this resolution and in accordance with Section 5 of the Articles of Association, the Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the company's subscribed capital once or several times on or before May 8, 2023, by issuing 242,550,413 new shares in return for cash contributions or contributions in kind. Shareholder subscription rights for the 2018 authorized capital can be excluded.

On May 13, 2019, Vonovia carried out a capital increase using the 2018 authorized capital to the exclusion of the subscription rights of shareholders. To this end, the Management Board, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, decided to increase the Company's share capital by using the 2018 authorized capital in accordance with Section 5 of the Articles of Association by issuing 16,500,000 shares. The new shares were placed with institutional investors in the scope of a private placement by means of an accelerated book building procedure and have carried dividend rights since January 1, 2019. The shares were granted at a placement price of € 45.10 per share. This means that capital reserves increased by the premium exceeding the subscription amount of € 1.00 per share totaling € 727.7 million. The increase was entered in the Commercial Register on May 16, 2019.

A dividend of € 1.44 per share was approved at the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2019, for the 2018 fiscal year, with the option for the shareholders of choosing a scrip dividend instead of a cash dividend during the subscription period. During the subscription period, 45.8% of shareholders opted for a scrip dividend, which meant that 7,695,677 new shares were issued as scrip dividends from the 2018 authorized capital at a subscription price of € 44.352, i. e. a total amount of € 341.3 million. This increased the capital reserves by € 333.6 million.

The Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2019, did not pass any resolutions to adjust the authorized capital, meaning

that the authorized capital amounted to € 218,354,736.00 as of December 31, 2019.

Conditional capital in 2018

Based on the resolution passed by the company's Annual General Meeting on May 9, 2018, the Management Board was authorized, in accordance with Section 6 of the Articles of Association and with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to issue bonds carrying conversion and option rights, bonds carrying option rights, participating rights and/or participating bonds (or combinations of these instruments) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "debentures") in bearer or registered form, once or several times, and to grant the creditors/holders of the debentures conversion or option rights for the shares of the company in a pro rata amount of the share capital of up to € 242,550,413.00 according to the detailed terms and conditions of the bonds carrying option/ conversion rights and/or the terms and conditions of the participating rights.

A conditional capital was resolved in order to issue shares required to satisfy conversion rights stemming from debentures that may be issued on the basis of the authorization of issuance resolved by the Annual General Meeting held on May 9, 2018. The share capital is conditionally increased by up to € 242,550,413.00 through the issuance of up to 242,550,413 new no-par-value registered shares with an entitlement to dividend (2018 conditional capital).

E. Other Information

Contingent Liabilities

Vonovia has given a guarantee for the liabilities of its subsidiary Vonovia Finance B.V. These liabilities result from the issuance of bonds, including a commercial paper program of around € 15.1 billion as of December 31, 2019.

In September 2019, Vonovia Finance B.V. concluded a secured financing amounting to € 168 million with Commerzbank AG, which is secured by real estate liens on properties owned by GAGFAH GmbH, Bochum. Vonovia has provided a guarantee for this financing for the entire duration of the loan agreement until September 2029.

In August 2019, Vonovia Finance B.V. concluded an unsecured promissory note with M.M. Warburg as the first lender for € 50 million, which is due for repayment on August 28, 2026. The loan was transferred as planned to Debeka (Debeka Krankenversicherungsverein auf Gegenseitigkeit FI/RV [€ 45 million], Debeka Zusatzversorgungskasse V.a.G. [€ 3 million] and Debeka Allgemeine Versicherung Aktiengesellschaft [€ 2 million]). Vonovia acts as guarantor for the entire term of the loan in the promissory note loan agreement.

In April 2019, Victoria Park AB entered into a general loan agreement with Commerzbank AG for a revolving line of credit of SEK 1,050 million secured by a guarantee from Vonovia, which was drawn in full as of the reporting date.

Vonovia has entered into an obligation vis-à-vis a minority shareholder of a Group company stating that it will assume the payment obligations for a guaranteed dividend if this company fails to meet these obligations. The maximum obligation amounts to € 28.4 million as of December 31, 2019.

There is a letter of comfort given to the seller of shares in ten railway housing companies in which Vonovia undertakes to provide these companies with sufficient own funds and liquidity on a long-term basis in order to meet and fulfill their obligations under the privatization contract for the shares in the companies dated December 14/15, 2000. The obligations comprise guarantees for the provision of housing as well as employment guarantees.

There is a letter of comfort given to the sellers in connection with the acquisition of the shares in SEED 1 GmbH by DAAH with regard to fulfilling all liabilities and obligations of DAAH arising out of the underlying share purchase agreement. This letter of comfort is limited to € 85 million and expires on December 31, 2024.

A letter of comfort has been issued to the general contractor Ten Brinke Industrie und Gewerbebau GmbH & Co. KG in connection with the conclusion of a general contractor agreement with SEED 1 GmbH (as legal successor of the parties involved at the time) on the construction of a building project in Berlin with a view to meeting all obligations and commitments under the general contractor agreement. This letter of comfort is limited to € 40 million and expires on March 1, 2027.

There is a letter of comfort given to the Group company Diak-Nd Pflege-Altenheime Besitz GmbH, Berlin, to avoid insolvency. This letter of comfort is limited to € 10 million and expires on October 15, 2020.

In 2019, Vonovia issued a declaration of indemnification for each of the cash pooling groups of BUWOG Group GmbH and conwert Treasury OG for the companies involved in cash pooling. The liability will only take effect if BUWOG Group GmbH or conwert Treasury OG are not themselves able to satisfy the bank's claims and it is limited to the credit balance amounts transferred to Vonovia from the respective cash pooling group.

The investor agreements were concluded in connection with the acquisition of the minority interests in the property companies in the SüDeWo and Vitus portfolios by Kirchliche Zusatzversorgungskasse des Verbandes der Diözesen Deutschlands (KZVK), Cologne. Under Item 1.1, Vonovia is responsible for ensuring that KZVK receives the annual compensation payments as per the existing profit-and-loss transfer agreements (for Vitus, € 1.4 million; for SüDeWo, max. € 3.2 million depending on the final purchase price). The investor agreements initially run until December 31, 2029, and are then each extended for a period of five years, if not terminated by KZVK.

Vonovia only assumes contingent liabilities after carefully weighing the risks. Based on the ongoing assessment of the risk situation for the contingent liabilities that have been assumed and taking into account the information obtained up until the time of preparation of these financial statements, Vonovia currently expects the main debtors to be able to meet the obligations underlying these contingent liabilities. As a result, it considers the risk of claims arising from any of the contingent liabilities listed above to be unlikely.

In accordance with the provisions of the termination agreement with Mr. Freiberg, total remuneration includes the remuneration components to be paid after resigning from his position on the Management Board on May 16, 2019, until the termination of the contract of employment on December 31, 2019, amounting to € 0.5 million.

The pension obligations to former members of the Management Board and their surviving dependents amount to € 15.8 million (prior year: € 14.7 million).

Appropriation of Profit

Vonovia closed the 2019 fiscal year with net income of € 419,110,421.17. After offsetting this profit for the year against the profit carried forward from the previous year of € 28,611,156.66, the Management Board withdrew a further € 465,000,000.00 from revenue reserves, resulting in a net profit for the 2019 fiscal year of € 912,721,577.83.

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose to the Annual General Meeting that, of the profit of Vonovia for the 2019 fiscal year of € 912,721,577.83, an amount of € 851,369,569.27 on the 542,273,611 shares of the share capital as of December 31, 2019 (corresponding to € 1.57 per share) be paid as a dividend to the shareholders, and that the remaining amount of € 61,352,008.56 be carried forward to the new account or be used for other dividends on shares carrying dividend rights at the time of the Annual General Meeting and which go beyond those as of December 31, 2019.

As with the 2018 fiscal year, the dividend for the 2019 fiscal year, payable after the Annual General Meeting in May 2020, will again include the option of a non-cash dividend in shares, provided the Supervisory Board considers this

to be economically sensible for both the company and the shareholders.

Independent Auditor's Report

To Vonovia SE, Bochum

Report on the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Combined Management Report

Opinions

We have audited the annual financial statements of Vonovia SE, Bochum, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the income statement for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2019, and notes to the financial statements, including the recognition and measurement policies presented therein. In addition, we have audited the combined management report of Vonovia SE for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2019. In accordance with German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of the components of the combined management report mentioned in the "Other information" section of our audit opinion.

In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit,

  • the accompanying annual financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law applicable to business corporations and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and of its financial performance for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2019, in compliance with German legally required accounting principles, and
  • the accompanying combined management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's position. In all material respects, this combined management report is consistent with the annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. Our opinion on the combined management report does not cover the content of those components of the combined management report specified in the "Other Information" section of the auditor's report.

Pursuant to Section 322 (3) sentence 1 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch: German Commercial Code], we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report.

Basis for the Opinions

We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report in accordance with Section 317 HGB and EU Audit Regulation No. 537/2014 (referred to subsequently as "EU Audit Regulation") and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Our responsibilities under those requirements and principles are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Combined Management Report" section of our auditor's report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the requirements of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addition, in accordance with Article 10 (2)(f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services prohibited under Article 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report.

Key Audit Matters in the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual financial statements for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment testing of investments in affiliated companies

Please refer to the explanatory notes to the financial statements (Section "B. Accounting Policies") and in the combined management report (Section "Economic Development of Vonovia SE").

The Financial Statement Risk

Vonovia SE reports shares in affiliated companies in the amount of EUR 20,476 million (83.8% of total assets) under financial assets.

Shares in affiliated companies are recognized at cost or, if they are expected to be permanently impaired, at their lower fair value. Impairment losses are reversed if the reasons for impairment cease to apply. In financial year 2019, impairment losses were neither recognized nor reversed.

Affiliated companies mostly concern property-holding companies and intermediate holding companies that hold majority investments in property-holding companies.

The key determinants of the fair value of shares are therefore the fair values of the real estate. The latter are determined for German and Austrian real estate portfolios on the basis of an internal valuation model of the Company. The fair value of all residential and commercial properties located in Germany and Austria is determined by means of a discounted cash flow (DCF) method based on homogeneous valuation units in which commercially related and comparable land and buildings are combined. In addition, an independent valuer provides an appraisal, which is used to verify the internal measurements. For properties located in Sweden, fair value is determined by independent valuers.

The measurement of investment properties incorporates numerous assumptions relevant to measurement (such as market rents and trend in rental rates, discount and capitalization rates) that involve considerable estimation uncertainties and judgment. Even minor changes in the assumptions relevant to measurement may have a material effect on the resulting fair value.

For relevant investments, Vonovia SE also conducts enterprise valuations or in individual cases the fair value is determined by way of an expert opinion, as defined by IDW S 1 as amended in 2008 in conjunction with IDW RS HFA 10, by an independent expert. The determination of enterprise values is complex and requires prospective estimates, i. e. based on judgment. Significant assumptions relate to forecast cash flows as well as assumptions and parameters underlying the discounting or capitalization of these cash flows (including a risk-free interest rate, market risk premium, beta coefficient) as well as the estimate of the permanence of impairments.

There is a risk for the financial statements that shares in affiliated companies are impaired.

Our Audit Approach

WWe evaluated Vonovia's approach in respect of impairment testing shares in affiliated companies as to whether it is suitable for identifying potential impairment losses.

In order to examine the Company's impairment testing, we focused especially on the key value drivers of shares, the fair values of the properties.

In order to assess the appropriateness of the current data used for the determination of fair values of properties as well as the assumptions and other parameters, we expanded our audit team to include our in-house property valuation specialists. Using a partially control-based and a partially case-based audit approach, we assessed in particular the internal valuation methods of Vonovia SE, the homogeneity of defined valuation units, the accuracy and completeness of the data used for real estate portfolios as well as the appropriateness of the valuation assumptions used, such as discount and capitalization rates, market rents and trend in rental rates and the planned maintenance costs, also based on external market data.

Based on partially representative and partially selective risked-based sampling of valuation units, we conducted on-site visits to assess the condition of the various properties. We verified the valuations conducted by Vonovia by comparing them with our own calculations based on the standardized capitalization model pursuant to the German Real Estate Appraisal Regulation [ImmoWertV]. We verified the qualification and objectivity of the external valuers commissioned by Vonovia and assessed the valuation methods used in the appraisals, including key valuation assumptions and parameters, and compared their results for the German and Austrian portfolios with the valuation results of the internal valuation.

With regard to the use of the opinions of the independent expert, we initially evaluated the competence, professional skills and impartiality of the independent expert. We then assessed the valuation method used in the expert opinions in light of the general valuation principles and assessed the assumptions and parameters underlying the valuations. For this purpose, we involved our in-house valuation specialists in the audit. In addition, we verified the computational accuracy of the valuation models.

Our Observations

Vonovia's approach to identifying potential impairment losses and the valuation methods applied are consistent with the general valuation principles. The assumptions, estimates and parameters underlying the real estate valuation and impairment testing of shares in affiliated companies are appropriate.

Revenue recognition through the disclosure of hidden reserves as part of the internal restructuring of the BUWOG Group

Please refer to the explanatory notes to the financial statements (Section "A. General Information") and in the combined management report (Section "Economic Development of Vonovia SE").

The Financial Statement Risk

As part of the internal restructuring of the BUWOG Group, which began in the 2018 financial year and carried out in financial year 2019, BUWOG Group GmbH, Vienna, Austria (hereinafter: BUWOG), as subsidiary of Vonovia SE pursuant to the spin-off and takeover agreement of August 20, 2019, with retroactive effect from January 1, 2019 (spin-off date), spun-off receivables totaling EUR 2.4 billion to DAH Acquisition GmbH, Vienna, Austria, a newly established subsidiary of Deutsche Annington Acquisition Holding GmbH, Düsseldorf (hereinafter also referred to as DAAH). DAAH is in turn a direct subsidiary of Vonovia SE. The ownership interests in the aforementioned companies amount in all cases to 100%.

Due to the spin-off of receivables, the intrinsic value of Vonovia SE's shares in BUWOG has declined. Thus, in the ratio of the fair values of the spun-off assets to the fair value of total assets of BUWOG on the spin-off date, for Vonovia SE this constituted a disposal of shares in BUWOG on a value basis.

As the granting of new shares was waived, the spin-off of the receivables to the indirect subsidiary represents for Vonovia SE a hidden non-cash contribution to DAAH, which increased the intrinsic value of the investment in DAAH. The hidden non-cash contribution was recognized by Vonovia SE as subsequent acquisition costs of the shares in DAAH. The disclosed hidden reserves of EUR 99.4 million are recognized by Vonovia SE as other operating income.

In addition, in the course of the restructuring of the BUWOG Group by Vonovia SE, all of the shares in BUWOG were contributed to BUWOG Beteiligungs GmbH, Vienna, Austria, a wholly owned subsidiary of BUWOG cw Immobilien Invest GmbH, Vienna, Austria (after 24 January 2020: BUWOG Holding GmbH, in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Vonovia SE). This was achieved by means of a contribution and assignment agreement between Vonovia SE and BUWOG Beteiligungs GmbH dated October 30, 2019, without any new shares being granted. The disclosed hidden reserves of EUR 364.9 million are recognized by Vonovia SE as other operating income.

The determination of the, among other things, income recognition as part of disclosure of the hidden reserves and the fair values of the spun-off assets and the total assets of BU-WOG underlying the spin-off was made by an independent expert's opinions based on IDW S 1 as amended in 2008 in conjunction with IDW RS HFA 10. This calculation is complex and requires prospective estimates, i. e. based on judgment. Significant assumptions relate to forecast cash flows as well as assumptions and parameters underlying the discounting or capitalization of these cash flows (including risk-free interest rate, market risk premium, beta coefficient). Even minor changes in the assumptions relevant to measurement may have a material effect on the resulting fair values.

There is the risk for the financial statements that the reported other operating income from the disclosure of hidden reserves is too high.

Our Audit Approach

We first gained an understanding of the transaction using the internal analysis of the intra-group restructuring of the BUWOG Group. We assessed the underlying fair values for the spun-off assets as well as the total assets of BUWOG as of January 1, 2019, and as of October 30, 2019, using the opinions of the independent expert.

With regard to the use of the opinions of the independent expert, we initially evaluated the competence, professional skills and impartiality of the independent expert. We then assessed the valuation method used in the expert opinions in light of the general valuation principles and assessed the assumptions and parameters underlying the valuations. For this purpose, we involved our in-house valuation specialists in the audit. In addition, we verified the computational accuracy of the valuation models.

In addition, we discussed the result of the expert opinions with the employees responsible in the specialist departments. We verified the appropriateness of the future cash flows used for calculation, among other things, by reconciling these with the current actual figures and reconciled the expected future cash flows contained in the model with the planning prepared by the responsible specialist departments.

In addition, we examined the completeness and accuracy of the entries relating to the transaction in the accounting records of Vonovia SE, particularly in light of IDW RS HFA 42 and IDW RS HFA 43.

Our Observations

The approach to calculating the fair values for the determination of the disposal in terms of value, the cost including the disclosure of hidden reserves as well as the gain arising from contribution is appropriate. The underlying assumptions and parameters are appropriate.

Other Information

Management and the Supervisory Board are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the following components of the combined management report, which have not been audited:

  • the non-financial statement, which is included in a separate section of the combined management report and
  • the corporate governance statement to which reference is made in the combined management report.

Our opinions on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report do not cover the other information, and consequently we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in so doing, to consider whether the other information

  • is materially inconsistent with the annual financial statements, on the audited combined management report information or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
  • otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and the Supervisory Board for the Annual Financial Statements and the Combined Management Report

Management is responsible for the preparation of annual financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law applicable to business corporations, and that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Company in compliance with German legally required accounting principles. In addition, management is responsible for such internal control as they, in accordance with German legally required accounting principles, have determined necessary

to enable the preparation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the annual financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based on the going concern basis of accounting, provided no actual or legal circumstances conflict therewith.

Furthermore, management is responsible for the preparation of a combined management report that as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's position and is, in all material respects, consistent with the annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements, and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addition, management is responsible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as they have considered necessary to enable the preparation of a combined management report that is in accordance with the applicable German legal requirements, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the assertions in the combined management report.

The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process for the preparation of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Combined Management Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the combined management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's position and, in all material respects, is consistent with the annual financial statements and the knowledge obtained in the audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development, as well as to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Section 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) will always detect a material misstatement. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual financial statements and this combined management report.

We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements and of arrangements and measures (systems) relevant to the audit of the combined management report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of these systems.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by management and the reasonableness of estimates made by management and related disclosures.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor's report to the related disclosures in the annual financial statements and in the combined management report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our respective opinions. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to be able to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the annual financial statements present the underlying transactions and events in a manner that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Company in compliance with German legally required accounting principles.

  • Evaluate the consistency of the combined management report with the annual financial statements, its conformity with [German] law, and the view of the Company's position it provides.

  • Perform audit procedures on the prospective information presented by management in the combined management report. On the basis of sufficient appropriate audit evidence we evaluate, in particular, the significant assumptions used by management as a basis for the prospective information, and evaluate the proper derivation of the prospective information from these assumptions. We do not express a separate opinion on the prospective information and on the assumptions used as a basis. There is a substantial unavoidable risk that future events will differ materially from the prospective information.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the relevant independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
