Dear Shareholders, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
As you may remember, we resumed our investments outside Berlin in 2016. We have since focused specifi cally on the regions Leipzig, Hamburg, Rhine-Ruhr and Rhine-Main. By opening an offi ce in Leipzig and setting up a joint venture in the Rhine-Ruhr region, we cleared the next milestones on our expansion roadmap and substantially strengthened our acquisition capacity in these regions. In the foreseeable future, we also intend to enlarge our footprint in the Rhine-Main area and in Hamburg where we already operate sales offi ces. In Leipzig, for instance, we bought 3 multi-unit dwellings in October, this being already our fourth acquisition in the region.
Also in October, we moved ahead with a cash capital increase by c. EUR 20 million, having previously issued a bond over EUR 100 million in January. The stepped-up activities on the capital market are accompanied by a stronger research coverage (now 5 institutes) and by a more conspicuous presence at capital market conferences. All of these measures are meant to boost our continued growth. According to our ACCENTRO Ownership Report, published annually, the condominium or home sales in the major German cities alone add up to EUR 30 billion per year—an enormous and highly fragmented market that continues to off er plenty of opportunities.
Another important milestone of the third quarter was the acquisition of an offi ce building for owner-occupancy where we plan to move in 2019. The transaction marks the successful conclusion of a search that took almost 2 years. Meanwhile, Berlin has replaced Frankfurt as Germany's most important investment market for commercial property. The local vacancy rate in commercially used real estate is down to a very low 2%. Rent rates have soared and are highly likely to keep doing so. Prices will go up in tandem with rents. As owners of an offi ce property, we stand to benefi t from the trend in the foreseeable future.
In general, our operating activities are essentially going according to plan, and we would like to seize the opportunity to reaffi rm our assessment for the year as a whole.
Kind regards,
Jacopo Mingazzini Management Board
In the course of the 2017 fi nancial year, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG divested itself entirely of its portfolio properties and of any partnership interests in property portfolio companies that it still held, and thereby transformed into a pure trading entity. In the fi nancial statements of the fi nancial years 2016 and 2017, these properties and interests were recognised as "noncurrent assets held for sale" in the balance sheet while their earnings and expenses were recognised as "discontinued operation" in the income statement. As of the 2018 fi nancial year, reports will no longer include a presentation of the "discontinued operation" or of "noncurrent assets held for sale."
All monetary fi gures in this report are stated in Euro (EUR). Both individual and total fi gures represent values with the smallest rounding diff erence. Accordingly, adding the values of the individual line items may result in minor diff erences compared to the sum totals posted.
The ACCENTRO Group's key revenue and earnings fi gures developed as follows during the fi rst nine months of the 2018 fi nancial year:
| 9 months 2018 | 9 months 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| EUR million | EUR million | |
| Revenues | 136.7 | 89.0 |
| EBIT | 21.0 | 22.3 |
| Consolidated income (2017: continuing operation) | 8.6 | 12.3 |
The consolidated revenues came to EUR 136.7 million by the end of the nine months period of the 2018 fi nancial year, and were thus well above the level of the prior-year period. While the sales volume grew quickly, as already detailed in the half-year fi nancial statements, it was not refl ected in the net income from sales nor was it meant to. The reason to explain it is the contribution of the ACCENTRO Gehrensee GmbH subgroup to a joint venture. The real estate assets tied up in ACCENTRO Gehrensee GmbH and its subsidiaries were contributed nearly at book value, which is why the revenue of c. EUR 42.3 million generated by the transaction had no material impact on net income. The plots (around 41,500 m² in Berlin-Lichtenberg) are earmarked for the development of residential buildings, and the zoning process for this purpose is currently under way. The agreements signed provide that ACCENTRO Real Estate AG stays invested in the ACCENTRO Gehrensee project with a 25% stake and a mezzanine loan, which means that ACCENTRO Real Estate AG will remain able to participate directly in future project planning achievements. A sales agreement with ACCENTRO GmbH is in place in case the units are to be retailed.
The consolidated income for the reporting period equalled EUR 8.6 million (reference period: EUR 12.3 million) and remained within the parameters that had been planned and predicted. Given the Company's anticipated performance during the fi nal quarter of the 2018 fi nancial year, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG assumes that an EBIT in the range of EUR 36 million to EUR 40 million plus a signifi cant year-on-year increase in revenues (EUR 147.3 million) will be achieved.
At EUR 3.0 million, the total payroll and benefi t costs topped the level of the reference period, which had been EUR 2.2 million, the fact being explained by the quick rise in the number of employees at ACCENTRO Real Estate AG as well as by bonus payments during Q1 2018.
The net interest result by the end of the fi rst nine months of 2018, having slipped further into the negative range (EUR –7.9 million, reference period: EUR –5.0 million), is explained by the corporate bond over EUR 100 million that was issued in January 2018, which substantially expanded the fi nancial liabilities and coincided with a proportionate increase in interest expenses.
The earnings before taxes equalled EUR 13.0 million, down from EUR 17.4 million at the end of the reference period. When taking into account income taxes in the amount of EUR –4.4 million (reference period: EUR –5.1 million), this adds up to a consolidated income of EUR 8.6 million (reference period continuing operation: EUR 12.3 million).
Key Figures from the Cash Flow Statement
| 9 months 2018 | 9 months 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| EUR million | EUR million | |
| Operating cash fl ow prior to divestments/reinvestments | –26.4 | 13.1 |
| (–) Increase/(+) decrease in inventories (trading properties) | –20.1 | –53.3 |
| Cash fl ow from operating activities | –46.5 | –40.3 |
| Cash fl ow from investment activities | –38.7 | 4.9 |
| Cash fl ow from fi nancing activities | 93.5 | 25.8 |
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | 8.3 | –9.5 |
| (+) Increase/(–) decrease in cash and cash equivalents from the acquisition/disposal of fully consolidated companies |
–5.4 | 0 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period | 7.9 | 15.1 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period | 10.7 | 5.6 |
During the nine months period 2018, the negative operating cash fl ow prior to divestments/ reinvestments in the inventory real estate assets was caused primarily by higher tax payments (EUR –9.0 million, prior period: EUR –1.2 million) plus by an increase in trade receivables and a substantial drop in trade payables. The elevated tax payments are primarily the result of higher tax prepayment assessments as well as one-off taxes related to other periods.
The cash fl ow from investment activities amounted to EUR –38.7 million during the reporting period (reference period: EUR 4.9 million). The fi gure refl ects essentially the investments in the ACCENTRO's new corporate headquarters, a minority interest in a company holding a real estate portfolio in Hamburg and the granting of loans to joint ventures that are not fully consolidated.
The cash fl ow from fi nancing activities amounted to EUR 93.5 million during the reporting period (reference period: EUR 25.8 million) and is defi nitively infl uenced by a cash infl ow in the amount of EUR 98.5 million from a corporate bond issued in January. A total of EUR 52.8 million was used for payments of interest and principal.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 10.7 million as of 30 September 2018, compared to EUR 7.9 million by 31 December 2017.
Key Figures from the Balance Sheet
| 30 Sept. 2018 | 31 Dec. 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| EUR million | EUR million | |
| Non-current assets | 69.0 | 22.2 |
| Owner-occupied properties and buildings | 23.4 | 0 |
| Non-current receivables | 19.0 | 2.5 |
| Equity investments and equity-accounted interests | 7.9 | 1.5 |
| Other non-current assets | 18.7 | 18.2 |
| Current assets | 360.3 | 325.6 |
| Inventory property | 305.8 | 304.0 |
| Receivables | 22.5 | 13.7 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 10.7 | 7.9 |
| Non-current liabilities | 135.7 | 43.4 |
| Current liabilities | 101.3 | 150.7 |
| Shareholders' equity | 170.9 | 153.7 |
| Total assets | 407.9 | 347.8 |
The total assets increased by EUR 60.1 million since the balance sheet date of 31 December 2017, climbing to a sum total of EUR 407.9 million. The main reason for the rise is the growth in the non-current assets by EUR 46.8 million. The sum includes the acquisition costs in the amount of EUR 23.4 million for the Company's new headquarters in Berlin, the mezzanine loan in the amount of EUR 9.8 million left in place in the wake of the disposal of the ACCENTRO Gehrensee GmbH subgroup, and two fi nancing arrangements in a combined total of c. EUR 6.9 million for companies in which the Company holds equity interests but which are not fully consolidated, and investments in affi liates undertaken in the course of the year.
The structure of equity and liabilities as of 30 September 2018 provides a much clearer picture of the timely refi nancing of the ACCENTRO Group than the composition of the equity and liabilities as of 31 December 2017 did because, at year-end, special fi nancial reporting rules required that all fi nancial liabilities subject to a change-of-control provision be recognised as current liabilities. After 30 September 2018, this special disclosure will be omitted, as no fi nancial institution has exercised its special right of termination.
Non-current liabilities were increased substantially by the issuance of a corporate bond in January 2018, which prompted a net cash infl ow in the amount of EUR 98.5 million. This implies an increase by EUR 43.4 million since 31 December 2017 to a new total of EUR 135.7 million. Moreover, non-current liabilities increased due to the aforementioned reclassifi cation eff ects as current fi nancial liabilities were reclassifi ed as non-current ones. Current liabilities declined by EUR 49.4 million to EUR 101.3 million since the end of 2017 (EUR 150.7 million), which is mainly explained by the reclassifi cation eff ects explained above.
During the reporting period, the shareholders' equity of the ACCENTRO Group rose from EUR 153.7 million as of 31 December 2017 to EUR 170.9 million by 30 September 2018. The increase is attributable, on the one hand, to the consolidated net income of EUR 8.6 million and, on the other hand, to the conversions of the 2014/2019 convertible bond transacted during Q1 2018. The conversions increased the share capital of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG by EUR 5.4 million and the capital reserves by EUR 7.4 million. The dividend paid out in May 2018 reduced the shareholders' equity by EUR 5.2 million. While the shareholders' equity rose in absolute fi gures, the equity ratio dropped from 44.2% to 41.9% as a result of the surge in total assets by EUR 60.1 million.
Since year-end 2017, the balance sheet structure changed as a result of the corporate bond that was issued in January 2018. The loan-to-value ratio (LTV) rose from 39.4% to 52.2% by 30 September 2018.
The economic situation of the ACCENTRO Group remained unchanged during the fi rst nine months of the 2018 fi nancial year. The Management Board of ACCENTRO AG therefore reaffi rms its account of the economic situation previously made in the 2017 annual report, which was published on 16 March 2018.
On 16 October 2018, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG placed a cash capital increase with institutional investors. This caused the number of shares in circulation to increase by 2,120,000 units to a total of 32,437,934 shares and the free fl oat to grow from 5.95% to 12.1%. The issue price was EUR 9.50, and the gross proceeds generated were c. EUR 20,140,000.
In its statement of account for the 2017 fi nancial year, the Management Board of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG predicted a top line sales growth in the double-digit range for the 2018 fi nancial year, and moreover predicted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) in a range between EUR 36 million and EUR 40 million. Based on the fi gures presented for the fi rst three quarters of 2018 and the result expected for the last quarter of 2018, the Management Board of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG reaffi rmes its forecast.

Persistent political and economic uncertainties set the scene for the third quarter of 2018. The ascent of a populist government in Italy and the political imponderables that come with it, the inconclusive debates over the approaching Brexit and the trade row with the United States caused investors to move more cautiously. Moreover, while the European Central Bank (ECB) has not raised its lending rate yet, it is reducing the scope of its bond purchases and thereby adding to the unease on the capital market.
Germany's DAX stock index, having reached its highest score this year to date on 23 January 2018 with 13,596 points, dropped back to 12,247 points by 28 September 2018, the fi nal trading day of Q3 2018.
The concluding weeks of the third quarter of 2018 witnessed a downward trend of both the DAX and the MDAX, a select index mapping 50 German mid-market companies. Even the ACCENTRO stock proved unable to steer clear of the trend.
Having hovered around the 11-Euro mark at the start of Q3 2018, it also lost in value toward the end of September. Compared to the share price on the fi rst trading day of the year, however, the closing price of EUR 9.66 on 28 September 2018 implies that the stock of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG gained no less than 18.4%.
Quoted at EUR 8.16 on the fi rst trading day of 2018 (Xetra), the ACCENTRO share price rallied during the second quarter and rose to EUR 11.50 by the fi nal trading day of the fi rst half-year of 2018. The stock maintained the level in the early days of the third quarter, but concluded the last trading day of the third quarter at EUR 9.66, the lowest value since May 2018.
The average daily trading volume (Xetra) of ACCENTRO stock during the fi rst nine months of 2018 was 4,376 units. Overall, 0.83 million shares of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG were traded in the Xetra trading system between 2 January and 28 September 2018. The relatively low trading volume is mainly explained by the Company's rather small free fl oat of 5.95%.
The market capitalisation of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG rose by EUR 83.3 million during the fi rst nine months of 2018, growing from EUR 209.6 million to EUR 292.9 million. In addition to a 18.4% growth in share price, the conversion of the bulk of the 2014/2019 convertible bond issued in March 2014 proved to be decisive. This also explains the steep growth of the stock in circulation by 5,393,031 units.
Given the massive increase in the number of units, the 18.4% share price hike during the fi rst nine months of 2018 is certainly a reassuring sign.
By the end of the third quarter of 2018, the subscribed capital of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG totalled EUR 30.32 million. It represents 30,317,934 no-par value bearer shares.
This is up from 24,924,903 shares and a share capital of EUR 24,924,903 at the start of the fi nancial year on 1 January 2018.
As of 30 September 2018, a total of 88.95% of the ACCENTRO Real Estate AG stock was held by Brookline Real Estate S.à r.l., while ADLER Real Estate AG owned 5.10% and the free fl oat accounted for 5.95%.
