  • For the nine months to 30 September 2019, the Instone Group significantly increased its year on year revenues to €296.4 million (previous year: €210.2 million). New sales contracts concluded in the nine-months to September 2019 as well as construction progress related to projects in revenue recognition led to a year on year increase in revenues of €86.2 million versus the previous year period. 1
  • Cost of materials increased to €286.1 million (previous year: €185.2 million) reflecting land price payments in relation to new as well as previously secured projects and increased construction activities. 2
  • Staff costs in the first nine month of 2019 amounted to €25.4 million (previous year: €22,6 million) reflecting the increase in FTEs to 293.0 (previous year: 258.6). 3
  • The increase of financing costs compared to the same period of last year, is related to the increase in gross debt. 4
  • Income taxes for the first nine months of the current year are about €-0.6 million (previous year: €-11.6 million). The favorable development and corresponding IFRS tax rate reflects the first time recognition of tax loss carry-forwards in fiscal year 2019. 5

Rent regulation: Proposals of Federal Government & Berlin Senat

Federal Government Berlin Senat (proposal

Berlin only)
Mietpreisbremse Mietendeckel "Rent
cap"

The "Mietpreisbremse" shall
be
extended
by
5 years
until
2025

The period
under
review
for
the
determination
of the
"Mietspiegel" (basis
for
"Mietpreisbremse") shall
be
extended
from
currently
4 to
6 years

In case
of re-letting
the
new
rent
may
still
exceed
the
"Mietspiegel" by
max. 10%

Overpaid
rent
can
be
reclaimed
by
the
tenant
retroactively
for
a period
of 2.5 years
after
conclusion
of the
rental
contract

New built
apartments
remain
exempt
from
the
"Mietpreisbremse" (incl. apartments
being
used
and
leased
for
the
first
time after 1 Oct
2014)

Federal Government
targeting
rapid parliamentary
implementation
of the
new
regulations
(by
YE 2019)

Properties built
after Jan 1, 2014 and
subsidised/rent-controlled
properties
are
excempt
from
rent
cap, excemption
includes
any
re-lettings

Rents
for
multi-family
properties
will be
frozen
at levels
as
of 18/06/19
for
a period
of 5 years

Rent
caps
will be
calculated
on the
basis
of the
2013 "Mietspiegel" plus
13.5% reflecting
the
increase
of household
income
since
then

Different rent
caps
apply
subject
to
year
of construction
and
quality. The
rent
ceiling
range
will be
€6.45-9.80/sqm/month.

Frozen
in-place rents
will be
subject
to
an annual
inflation-based
increase
of 1.3% from
2022 onwards

Sitting
tenants
can
apply
for
rent
reduction
if
current
rents
are
exceeding
relevant rent
ceilings
by
more
than
20%. Rent
reduction
to
the
level
of
20% above
rent
ceiling
will only
be
implemented
9 months
after the
new
law
has
been
in place.

New letting
rent
cannot
exceed
the
relevant rent
cap

Rent
increases
after modernisation
works
(related
to
climate
protection
or
barrier-free

up
to
an amount
of
€1.00/sqm
without
prior
approval. Approval
will be
required
for
modernisation
where
rent
increases
will exceed
€1.00/sqm
(Berlin might
provide
subsidies
for
higher
investments)

Will continue to be the largest single source
of sales for
Instone

Affordability remains strong and with
compelling ownership vs rent
economics

Municipal and state
owned property
companies key buyers of rent restricted units

Pension funds and insurance companies
active buyers of Instone projects to cover
regular payment obligations

Historically focused on Instones listed property
projects considering significant
tax benefits

Attractive customer group and still on
average prepared to pay a premium
over institutional buyers

Huge pent-up demand and lack of
comparable products in rental
market

Attractive financing
environment

Pricing increasingly competitive

In selective
instances
exceeding owner
occupier sales prices for the right product
and location

Significant pressure to invest in yielding
assets expected to accelerate in light of
depressed rates environment

Additional source of demand with broader regional
flexibility compared to owner occupiers

Less focused on immediate yield

Looking for save haven investment alternatives with
mid-
to long term capital appreciation potential

Typical investment of €200,000 –
300,000

Significant share of repeat customers

Expected to be essentially
insensitive to rent
regulation

More likely to increase demand to
buy as rent regulation will reduce
available
product

Berlin currently
uninvestable
for
most
institutions

Expected to further increase focus on new built
versus standing properties
outside of Berlin

Appetite to invest (outside Berlin) remains
unabated

Financing cost vs initial rental yield
more relevant than rental regulation

Favourable Regulatory Framework in Germany – Construction costs covered by customers' regular payments

(2) Unless significant delays occur and are not solved within a set reasonable deadline.
