016 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Foreword from the Executive Board

After successfully completing the 2018 financial year, we continued to implement our strategy in the first quarter of 2019. Equipped with a comfortable liquidity position following the EUR 150 million capital increase in November 2018, we actively searched the market in the first quarter in an effort to come closer to meeting our goal of expanding DEMIRE into a leading listed commercial real estate platform in Germany with a portfolio size of more than EUR 2 billion.

We will maintain this focus in the current financial year and concentrate on expanding the real estate portfolio and optimising our Group structure. With this in mind, we completed the purchase of four office buildings after the reporting date based on agreements we had signed at the end of 2018.

In addition, we are developing DEMIRE's organisation through a number of smaller and larger measures in order to become leaner and more efficient. The initial success of these measures is already beginning to emerge and will be gradually reflected in our results.

Our key operating and financial indicators in the first quarter of 2019 developed as follows:

  • • Funds from operations (FFO I, after taxes and before minorities) increased by 73.5 % to EUR 8.9 million, above all as a result of lower administrative expenses
  • • Rental income reached EUR 18.2 million as planned, recording an increase of 1.5 % on a like-for-like basis compared to the first quarter of 2018
  • • The EPRA vacancy rate increased slightly to 8.3 % following a level of 7.5 % at the end of 2018 as a result of the expiry of lease agreements at the end of 2018
  • • Profit before taxes amounted to EUR 7.1 million and does not include any valuation effects, following a level of EUR 30.5 million in the same period of the prior year (EUR – 1.6 million excluding valuation effects)

We are confirming our forecast for FFO I (after taxes and minorities) of EUR 27 to 29 million for the 2019 financial year. Based on our current real estate portfolio, we anticipate rental income of around EUR 77 to 79 million.

*Prior-year figures have been adjusted due to changes in classification.

  • • Due to new lettings and despite the sale of two properties in 2018, the DEMIRE Group achieved rental income of EUR 18.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, which was stable compared to the level in Q1 2018 of EUR 18.3 million.
  • • General and administrative expenses of EUR 2.9 million were EUR 0.2 million lower year-on-year as a result of lower consulting fees.
  • • Other operating expenses declined significantly by around 59 % to EUR 0.5 million in comparison to the same period of the previous year, which had included one-off effects.
  • • As no real estate valuations were required in the first quarter of 2019, earnings before interest and taxes fell by a total of EUR 28.6 million to EUR 13.6 million due to the non-recurrence of fair value adjustments in investment properties (EUR 32.1 million in the previous year).

The DEMIRE Group's operating result is measured in terms of funds from operations (FFO), which is adjusted for valuation effects (if any), other disposals and one-off effects and non-periodic income and expenses. Funds from operations (FFO I, after taxes, before minorities) reached EUR 8.9 million in the period under review (Q1 2018: EUR 5.2 million) due to lower interest and administrative expenses. After minorities and taxes, FFO I amounted to EUR 7.3 million (Q1 2018: EUR 3.9 million). In accordance with the total planned capital expenditure for full-year 2019, funds from operations in the first quarter were still influenced by a low level of capital expenditure.

Taking into account the profit / loss from the sale of real estate, funds from operations (FFO II) after taxes and before minorities amounted to EUR 8.9 million (Q1 2018: EUR 5.2 million), after taxes and after minorities to EUR 7.2 million (Q1 2018: EUR 3.9 million).

As at 31 March 2019, total assets increased by EUR 2.5 million compared to yearend 2018 to around EUR 1.38 billion.

Investment properties in the reporting period were not subject to re-valuation as a result of only minor market changes and amounted to a value of around EUR 1,140.8 million as at 31 March 2019, which was almost unchanged compared to their level as at 31 December 2018.

Group equity amounted to EUR 589.0 million as at 31 March 2019, which was slightly higher than its level on 31 December 2018 (EUR 582.3 million). The equity ratio was 42.6 % (31 December 2018: 42.2 %). It should be noted that, under IFRS, the non-controlling minority interests in the amount of EUR 73.9 million are reported under non-current liabilities and not in equity due to the legal form of Fair Value REIT AG's fund participations as a partnership.

Basic EPRA-NAV per share as at reporting date was EUR 5.58 (+ 1.1 %) and EUR 5.56 (+ 1.1 %) on a diluted basis. Both were above their levels at the end of 2018 (EUR 5.52 and EUR 5.50, respectively).

Non-current financial liabilities as at 31 March 2019 amounted to EUR 578.1 million and were lower than the level as at 31 December 2018 (EUR 606.4 million).

The financial result in the first quarter of 2019 was EUR – 6.4 million (Q1 2018: EUR – 11.7 million). The sharp decline resulted mainly from the valuation effects for partnerships held as minority interests of around EUR – 0.8 million (Q1 2018: EUR – 5.7 million), while financial income and financial expenses each saw a slight improvement. The nominal interest for financial liabilities as at 31 March 2019 averaged 3.0 % and was unchanged compared to 31 December 2018.

The net loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 38.6 % as at 31 March 2019 was slightly better than at year-end 2018 (38.7 %).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 7.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 (Q1 2018: EUR 7.4 million).

Cash flow from investing activities in the first quarter increased by around EUR 1.0 million compared to the low prior-year level, mainly as a result of investment in investment properties.

Cash flow from financing activities improved by around EUR 2.0 million to EUR – 9.6 million.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 187.2 million as at the 31 March 2019 reporting date (31 December 2018: EUR 190.4 million).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the reporting period from 1 January to 31 March 2019

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG ("DEMIRE AG") is recorded in the commercial register in Frankfurt / Main, Germany, the location of the Company's headquarters, under the number HRB 89041. The Company's business address is Robert-Bosch-Straße 11, Langen, Germany. The subject of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2019 is DEMIRE AG and its subsidiaries ("DEMIRE").

The DEMIRE AG shares are listed in the regulated market segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard).

Investments in real estate and real estate projects are generally processed through real estate companies. Interests in these real estate companies are either directly or indirectly held by DEMIRE (through intermediate holding companies). DEMIRE AG does not have direct ownership in any real estate. DEMIRE focuses on the German commercial real estate market and is active as an investor in and portfolio manager of secondary locations. DEMIRE itself carries out the acquisition, management and leasing of commercial properties. Value appreciation is to be achieved through active real estate management. This may also include the targeted sale of properties when they are no longer a strategic fit or have exhausted their potential for value appreciation.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period 1 January through 31 March 2019 were prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34").

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of DEMIRE AG were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as applicable in the European Union (EU), pursuant to Section 315e of the German Commercial Code (HGB). All International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) – formerly the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) – that were mandatory for the 2019 fiscal year have been taken into consideration. Furthermore, all disclosure and explanation requirements under German law above and beyond the provisions of the IASB have been fulfilled.

Under IAS 34, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements shall represent an update of the last financial year financial statements and, therefore, do not contain all of the information and disclosures required for consolidated financial statements but rather concentrate on new activities, events and circumstances so as not to repeat information that has already been reported. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of DEMIRE AG as at 31 March 2019 should therefore be viewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared as at 31 December 2018.

The euro (EUR) is the reporting currency of the DEMIRE AG condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are expressed in thousands of euros (EUR thousands). For computational reasons, rounding differences of +/- one unit (EUR, % etc.) may occur in the information presented in these financial statements.

These DEMIRE AG condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by a resolution of the Executive Board on 15 May 2019.

1. EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES

in EUR thousands 01/01/2019
–31/03/2019
01/01/2018
–31/03/2018
Net rents 18,239 18,256
Income from utility and service charges 7,217 5,742
Rental revenue 25,456 23,998
Allocable operating expenses to generate rental income –8,240 –6,106
Non-allocable operating expenses to generate rental income –135 –4,737
Operating expenses to generate rental income –8,375 –10,843
Profit/loss from the rental of real estate 17,081 13,155

Rental revenue in the interim reporting period resulted exclusively from the rental of commercial real estate and is free from seasonal effects.

The increase in profit / loss from the rental of real estate to EUR 17,081 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 13.155 thousand) primarily resulted from lower operating expenses to generate rental income which resulted from lower maintenance expenses and capitalisation of construction activities in the amount of EUR 916 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 89 thousand). Furthermore, lower one-time implementation costs for the new property manager occurred which led to a reversal of payables in the amount of EUR 321 thousand.

Earnings before interest and taxes of EUR 13,575 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 42,190 thousand) declined substantially due to the absence of the profit / loss from fair value adjustments in investment properties. As no changes in the valuation parameters occurred during the first quarter of 2019, no re-measurement was carried out (Q1 2018: EUR 32,078 thousand).

Compared to the first quarter of 2018, both the financial result of EUR – 6,449 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR – 11,657 thousand) and the general and administrative expenses of EUR 2,931 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 3,137 thousand) were lower.

Earnings before interest and taxes also include other operating expenses of EUR 492 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 1,191 thousand) mainly consisting of incidental costs of EUR 105 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 29 thousand) for monetary transactions, non-deductible input taxes of EUR 60 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 125 thousand) and insurance costs of EUR 49 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 11 thousand). The decline in other operating expenses resulted mainly from impairments of EUR 657 thousand on other assets included in the Eastern Europe portfolio (CEE / CIS) recognised in the first quarter of 2018. The lower expense from deferred taxes of EUR 441 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 9,502 thousand) resulted from the absence of valuation changes as at 31 March 2019 and, consequently, changes to the profit / loss from fair value adjustments in investment properties.

The share of profit / loss of minority shareholders amounting to EUR 849 thousand (Q1 2018: EUR 5,723 thousand) concerns minority shareholder's profits in the Fair Value REIT-AG subsidiaries recorded as liabilities under IFRS. The year-on-year decrease resulted primarily from the absence of valuation gains for the real estate held by these subsidiaries, as no re-measurement was carried out during the first quarter of 2019.

As at 31 March 2019, the Company had potential ordinary shares outstanding from the 2015 stock option programme that entitle the owners to subscribe to 510,000 shares.

There was no change in the number of shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the level as at 31 December 2018.

2. FINANCIAL RESULT

Financial income 262 113
Financial expenses –5,861 –6,047
Interests of minority shareholders –849 –5,723
Financial result –6,449 –11,657

The slight decline in financial expenses in the first quarter of 2019 mainly resulted from the reduction of financial liabilities during the 2018 financial year due to the repurchase offer to the bondholders of the 2017 / 2022 corporate bond and the redemption of the 2013 / 2018 convertible bond and 2015 / 2018 mandatory convertible bond.

The additions to investment properties in the amount of EUR 916 thousand resulted from subsequent acquisition and production costs.

The valuation of investment properties at fair value is to be allocated to Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy according to IFRS 13 (valuation based on unobservable inputs), which is shown in the Appendix on page 035. DEMIRE determines the fair values in the context of the IAS 40 valuation. No changes in the valuation parameters occurred during the first quarter of 2019.

A sensitivity analysis of the key input parameters revealed the following effect on the fair value of the investment properties:

A substantial increase in maintenance costs, vacancy rates or property yields would lead to a lower fair value for the properties if the assumptions for the remaining input parameters remained unchanged. The sensitivity analysis is based on the parameters of the appraisal reports as at 31 December 2018, as no changes in the valuation parameters have occurred as at 31 March 2019.
