German residential property shares post further increases in volatile market

In the second quarter of 2016, the development on the German stock market was strongly influenced by the unexpected outcome of the Brexit referendum. The dax® thus ended the three-month period down 2.9% at 9,680 points. Financial and export-oriented securities in particular fell sharply after the Brexit vote. Investors increasingly sought refuge in defensive investments such as gold or German government bonds. As a result of strong demand, the return on ten-year German government bonds entered negative territory for the first time, reaching a provisional low of –0.13% as at the end of the quarter. Equities were in turn subject to high pressure to sell.

By contrast, defensive German property stocks remained very robust overall. leg shares achieved an overall performance of 4.0% in the second quarter of 2016, including the dividend payment.

Dividend on leg shares up 15.3%

leg's Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2016 approved the proposal by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board to distribute a dividend of eur 2.26 per share for the 2015 financial year. This corresponds to an increase of 15.3% compared to the previous year.

Operating earnings amounted to eur 137.0 million in the reporting period (previous year: eur 141.0 million). The closing of the acquisition of a property portfolio with 13,570 units as at 1 April 2016 made a major contribution to the significant rise in net rental and lease income of eur 31.3 million in the second quarter. The increase in reported administrative expenses is due primarily to nonrecurring effects relating to acquisitions. As a result of the successful implementation of efficiency enhancement measures, ongoing administrative expenses were reduced by eur 1.2 million yearon-year to eur 15.5 million.

Disposals of investment properties for the purposes of portfolio streamlining had no material effect on the results of operations in the reporting period (result of disposal: eur 0.1 million).

In connection with the contract negotiations regarding the sale of a residential portfolio, income from the remeasurement of investment properties of eur 1.0 million was recognised in the first quarter.

In both the reporting period and the comparative period, loans were redeemed early in order to take advantage of the attractive financing environment. The resulting additional interest expenses in the form of redemption fees for fixed and floating-rate loans and additional loan amortisation

amounted to approximately eur 5 million in the reporting period and were thus significantly lower than the figure from the comparative period of around eur 50 million.

Despite a larger loan volume as a result of portfolio growth, cash interest expenses were reduced by eur 4.6 million year-on-year in the reporting period. This was due chiefly to the refinancing carried out.

In addition, more positive net income from the measurement of derivatives for the convertible bond (eur +14.6 million) and on the other hand the stronger decrease in the negative fair values of interest rate hedges measured in profit or loss (eur 22.3 million) due to the development of interest rate levels also contributed to the eur 59.8 million improvement in net finance earnings.

The considerably higher level of earnings before taxes contributed significantly to the increase in income tax expenses.

Net profit for the period thus climbed from eur –10.3 million in the previous year to eur 23.5 million in the reporting period.

In the reporting period, the leg Group increased its net rental and lease income by eur 31.3 million compared with the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development was the eur 34.6 million or 16.1% rise in net cold rent. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.4% in the reporting period as against the previous year. The new energy services business commenced on 1 January 2016 made a slightly positive contribution to earnings. This was offset by a eur 6.0 million increase in maintenance expenses.

The rental-related staff costs rose by 4.3% to eur 19.6 million and at a considerably slower yearon-year rate than in-place rent. The noi margin adjusted for one-time project costs of 77.6% was significantly higher than in the comparative period (75.7%) despite higher maintenance expenses, partly reflecting the successful leveraging of economies of scale as a result of the acquisitions in leg's core markets.

The epra vacancy rate, which is a ratio of rent lost due to vacancy to potential rent in the event of full occupancy, was reduced from 3.2% as at 30 June 2015 to 2.8% on a like-for-like basis as at 30 June 2016.

Current staff and non-staff operating costs remained stable. The release of a provision for a completed development project in the comparative period resulted in an increase in costs of sales of eur –1.2 million.

Adjusted administrative and other expenses –7.6 –8.8 –15.5 –16.7

Administrative and other expenses increased by eur 34.8 million year-on-year.

This increase was due chiefly to one-time incidental acquisition and integration costs for the acquisition of property portfolios, which contributed to project costs rising by eur 36.3 million to eur 37.9 million. eur 34.4 million of this is attributable to real estate transfer tax, which is recognised directly under expenses instead of being

capitalised as cost because the acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations.

Adjusted for these non-recurring effects, current administrative expenses were reduced as planned due to the implementation of efficiency enhancement measures and were down by eur 1.2 million year-on-year at eur 15.5 million in the reporting period.

Net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives –9.7 16.4 –28.6 –36.3
NET FINANCE EARNINGS –39.3 –52.2 –86.4 –146.2

The decline in interest expenses from eur 113.2 million in the comparative period to eur 61.1 million in the reporting period is attributable primarily to the effects of the refinancing concluded in the comparative period. Expenses of eur 49.6 million were incurred for this in the comparative period, which comprised additional loan amortisation (eur 6.0 million), prepayment penalties for fixedrate loans (eur 6.6 million) and swap redemption fees for floating-rate loans (eur 37.0 million).

The reduction in the average interest rate achieved by concluding refinancing (2.09% as at 30 June 2016 compared to 2.34% as at 30 June 2015 and 2.8% as at 31 March 2015), partly offset by new acquisition financing, caused cash interest expenses to decrease by eur 4.6 million to eur 41.3 million.

As a result, interest expense from loan amortisation fell by eur 8.9 million year-on-year to eur 11.8 million. This includes the measurement of the convertible bond at amortised cost in the amount of eur 3.3 million (comparative period: eur 3.2 million). Alongside the one-time, additional amortisation expense of eur 6.0 million in the comparative period, the decrease in interest expense from loan amortisation was attributable in particular to lower scheduled amortisation as a result of the refinancing.

The average term for the entire loan portfolio was around 10.9 years on 30 June 2016.

Dividends received from equity investments in non-consolidated and non-associated companies amounted to eur 2.3 million in the first half of 2016, eur 0.5 million higher than in the comparative period. In the comparative period, payments of vat

arrears for external tax audits for the years 2005 to 2007 were reimbursed by the former shareholder in the amount of eur 1.0 million. Provisions had already been recognised for the expected payments of vat arrears in previous years. In the reporting period, the deconsolidation of a property portfolio sold in a share deal resulted in net income of eur 0.7 million. Net income from investment securities and other equity investments remains nearly unchanged compared to the previous year.

In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of derivatives from the convertible bond in the amount of eur –21.2 million (previous year: eur –35.8 million).

Income tax expenses

Current tax expenses –0.7 –1.8 –1.1
Deferred tax expenses –14.1 3.9 –25.3 –4.0
Income tax expenses –14.8 3.9 –27.1 –5.1

An effective Group tax rate of 22.7% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (previous year: 24.9%).

A very low corporate income and trade tax liability is still expected to arise in the 2016 financial year. To this end, a provision for current income taxes of eur 1.8 million was recognised in the reporting period of which eur 0.5 million are related to disposals of investment properties. This provision takes account of the tax-reducing utilisation of loss carryforwards.

Adjusted for real estate transfer tax recognised under expenses (incidental acquisition costs requiring capitalisation for income tax purposes instead of deductible operating expenses) and the measurement effect of derivatives for the convertible bond, which is not recoverable for income tax purposes, earnings before taxes increased from eur 30.6 million in the previous year to eur 106.2 million in the reporting period. The main factors driving this development were the lower interest expenses due to the refinancing concluded in the comparative period and the significant rise in net rental and lease income.

The higher level of earnings before taxes thus contributed significantly to the increase in income tax expense by eur 22.0 million to eur 27.1 million in the reporting period.

Prior-period tax expenses of eur 1.0 million were included in current income taxes in the comparative period.

ffo i is a key financial performance indicator of the leg Group.

The calculation

methods for these key figures can be found in the glossary in the annual report.

At eur 137.6 million, ffo i was 35.7% higher in the reporting period than in the same period of the previous year (eur 101.4 million). In particular, this development reflects the rise in in-place rent including the effects of the acquisitions concluded and the lower cash interest expenses, which is partially offset by the eur 6.0 million rise in maintenance expenses.

The main assets of the leg Group are its investment properties, which amounted to eur 7,430.7 million as of 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: eur 6,398.5 million). This corresponds to 94.1% of total assets at the reporting date (31 December 2015: 88.9%).

The increase in investment properties resulted primarily from additions by way of acquisitions of eur 1,021.2 million and capitalisation of modernisation measures in the amount of eur 29.0 million.

The acquisition of a property portfolio with 3,539 residential units resulted in provisional goodwill of eur 43.5 million (comprising eur 22.1 million from deferred taxes on epra adjustments and eur 21.4 million from synergies), reported under other non-current assets.

The acquisition of a property portfolio with 13,570 units resulted in provisional goodwill of eur 0.2 million. Deferred taxes on epra adjustments had the effect of increasing this goodwill by eur 7.2 million; adjusted for these effects, the transaction would have resulted in negative goodwill of eur –7.0 million.

The increase in receivables and other assets was attributable to the recognition of the full property tax expense for the financial year as a whole as other inventories during the year (eur 9.3 million), the deferral of prepaid operating costs in the amount of eur 20.4 million, an increase in receivables from work in progress (eur 11.6 million) and receivables from purchase price reductions of acquired property portfolios (eur 6.5 million).

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by eur –87.5 million as against the reporting date to eur 165.3 million. This development was due mainly to the utilisation of new loans (net amount of eur 474.9 million; primarily from acquisition financing), receipts from property sales (eur 9.0 million) and cash flow from operating activities in the amount of eur 89.0 million. These factors were countered by payments for acquisitions and capex measures (eur –524.6 million) and the dividend distribution for 2015 (eur -141.9 million).

The main items on the equity and liabilities side are the reported equity of eur 2,900.0 million (31 December 2015: eur 2,985.0 million) and financing liabilities, which increased to eur 3,761.2 million (31 December 2015: eur 3,241.6 million) primarily as a result of acquisition financing.

The main driver for the slight temporary reduction in equity was the dividend distribution of eur 141.9 million. In addition, liabilities for put options of eur 2.0 million recognised directly in equity also reduced equity. These factors were countered by total comprehensive income including other comprehensive income (oci) recognised directly in equity of eur 10.0 million, a capital increase of eur 32.4 million, and an addition to non-controlling interests as a result of the first-time consolidation of newly acquired companies in the amount of eur 16.1 million.

Deferred tax liabilities rose by eur 51.8 million (reported in other non-current liabilities), of which eur 29.4 million was recognised in profit or loss in connection with the purchase price allocations of acquisitions to be recognised as business combinations.

The increase in the negative fair value of derivatives used for hedging contributed eur 18.9 million of the increase in other non-current liabilities.

The change in the fair value of the derivative for the convertible bond contributed eur 21.2 million of the increase in other current liabilities. Other current liabilities were also increased by the recognition of the full property tax expense as a liability during the year (eur +9.8 million), the deferral of operating cost discounts to be paid in arrears (eur +23.9 million) and an increase in liabilities for advanced payments received (eur +13.9 million).

Deferred purchase price liabilities for acquired property portfolios (eur 119.3 million) also contributed to the increase in other current liabilities.

Net asset value (nav)

A further key figure relevant in the property industry is nav. The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2015 annual report.

The leg Group reported basic epra nav of eur 3,536.9 million as of 30 June 2016. The effects of the possible conversion of the convertible bond are shown by the additional calculation of diluted epra nav. After further adjustment for goodwill effects, adjusted diluted epra nav amounted to eur 3,981.4 million at the reporting date.

Higher receipts from in-place rent also had a positive impact on the net cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period.

Acquisitions and modernisation work on the existing portfolio contributed to the net cash flow from investing activities with payments in the amount of eur –524.6 million. Furthermore, receipts from property disposals in the amount of eur 9.0 million resulted in a net cash flow from investing activities of eur –509.8 million.

Acquisition financing and the dividend distribution (eur –141.9 million) were the main drivers of cash flow from financing activities of eur 333.3 million.

The leg Group's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.

Financial position

A net profit or loss for the period of eur 23.5 million was recorded in the reporting period (previous year: net profit or loss for the period of eur –10.3 million). Equity amounted to eur 2,900.0 million at the reporting date (31 December 2015: eur 2,985.0 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 36.7% (31 December 2015: 41.5%).

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

There were no significant events after the end of the interim reporting period on 30 June 2016.

RISK AND OPPORTUNITY REPORT

The risks and opportunities faced by leg in its operating activities were described in detail in the 2015 annual report. To date, no further risks that would lead to a different assessment have arisen or become discernible in the fiscal year 2016.

FORECAST REPORT

Based on its business performance in the first half of 2016, leg believes that it is well positioned to achieve – and in some cases surpass – its goals for its key financial and operating figures. In light of the good progress made in implementing the planned efficiency enhancement measures, the outlook for ffo i in 2016 can be raised slightly again. leg now expects ffo i to increase to a range of eur 261 million to eur 265 million (previously: eur 257 million to eur 262 million). For 2017, the ffo i forecast of between eur 284 million and eur 289 million is being confirmed. These figures do not yet include any effects from planned further portfolio growth.

The forecast for the development of key operating figures is unchanged. In 2016, there will be no significant adjustments to the cost of rent in the rent-restricted portfolio. Accordingly, rental growth of between 2.4% and 2.6% is forecast on a like-for-like basis. With the next regular adjustment of the cost of rent scheduled for 2017, this is expected to contribute to a further acceleration of the rental growth rate to between 3.0% and 3.3%.

The vacancy rate already reached a very low level at the end of 2015 and is expected to remain stable on a like-for-like basis in 2016.

In order to maintain the quality of the property portfolio and take advantage of opportunities for value-adding measures, the forecast for portfolio investments in 2016 is being raised slightly to around eur 18 Euro per square metre. Newly acquired properties will account for an aboveaverage share of this investment.

The market environment for concluding valueadding acquisitions has become more challenging in North Rhine-Westphalia, too. However, the goal of acquiring at least 5,000 residential units per year is currently still considered realistic.

leg intends to distribute a dividend of 65% of ffoi on a sustainable basis.

SELECTED NOTES ON THE I F R S C O N S O L I D AT E D I N T E R I M F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S AS OF 30 JUNE 2016

1. Basic information on the Group

leg Immobilien ag, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "leg Immo"), its subsidiary leg nrw GmbH, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "leg") and the subsidiaries of the latter company (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "leg Group") are among the largest residential companies in Germany. The leg Group held a portfolio of 130,777 units (residential and commercial) on 30 June 2016.

leg Immo and its subsidiaries engage in two core activities as an integrated property company: the value-adding long-term management of its residential property portfolio in connection with the strategic acquisition of residential portfolios in order to generate economies of scale for its management platform and the expansion of tenant-oriented services.

The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all figures have been rounded to millions of euro (eur million). For technical reasons, tables and references can include rounded figures that differ from the exact mathematical values.

2. Interim consolidated financial statements

leg Immo prepared the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (ifrs) for interim reporting, as endorsed in the eu, and their interpretation by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (ifric). Based on the option under ias 34.10, the notes to the financial statements were presented in a condensed form. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited or subjected to an audit review.

The leg Group primarily generates income from the rental and letting of investment properties. Rental and lease business, in essence, is unaffected by seasonal and cyclical influences.

3. Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the consolidated interim financial statements of the leg Group are the same as those presented in the ifrs consolidated financial statements of leg Immo as of 31 December 2015. These interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2016 should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2015.

The leg Group has fully applied the new standards and interpretations that are mandatory from 1 January 2016. This did not affect the net assets, financial position or results of operations. The amendment to ias 1 will affect the representation of the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of the end of the year.

4. Changes in the Group

In the course of various portfolio acquisitions (see section 7) four companies were acquired and included in consolidation for the first time as at 1 January 2016. Some of the acquisitions are business combinations (see section 5).

leg Wohnen Service GmbH was consolidated for the first time as at 31 March 2016. The company was established as part of the reorganization of the leg Group's operating platform.

leg Marl GmbH (formerly Deutsche Annington Wohnungsgesellschaft iii mbH) was included in consolidation for the first time as at 1 April 2016, followed by Grainger Recklinghausen Portfolio one GmbH and Grainger Recklinghausen Portfolio two GmbH as at 1 June 2016.

As at 31 May 2016, all shares in Johannismarkt Grundstücksgesellschaft mbH were sold and deconsolidated.

5. Business combinations

On 30 November 2015, leg Immo signed a purchase agreement with Sahle Wohnen GmbH & Co. kg to acquire 94.9% of shares in sw Westfalen Invest GmbH and three other asset purchase agreements, consisting of a property portfolio of 3,539 residential units. The portfolio is distributed over twelve different locations in nrw, while its most important local markets are Detmold (1,151 units), Bielefeld (950 units) and Lippstadt (315 units). 23 employees (ftes) were taken on in the context of the transaction. Following antitrust approval, the transaction was closed on 1 January 2016.

As at 1 January 2016, the acquisition of these companies is treated as a business combination as defined by ifrs 3 as significant business processes had been acquired. The purchase price allocation is not yet finalised as at 30 June 2016.

On 22 December 2015, leg Immo concluded a purchase agreement with Vonovia se regarding the acquisition of 13,570 residential units. The purchase price is around eur 600 million, equating to an initial rental yield of 8.0%. The portfolio is spread over various locations in and on the border of North Rhine-Westphalia. 26 employees will be taken on in the wake of the transaction. Following antitrust approval, the transaction was closed on 1 April 2016.

As at 1 April 2016, the acquisition of the company was treated as a business combination as defined by ifrs 3 as significant business processes had been acquired. The acquisition was a combined asset and share deal.

The provisional consideration for the business combination breaks down as follows:

T26 – Provisional consideration

TOTAL CONSIDERATION 589.1
Net purchase price 589.1
€ million 01.04.2016

The provisional purchase price can be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired, measured at fair value, as follows:

T27 – Provisional purchase price allocation

€ million 01.04.2016
Investment properties 604.6
Property, plant and equipment 0.1

Net assets at fair value 593.6
Non-controlling interests 4.7
Net assets at fair value without non-controlling interests 588.9
CONSIDERATION 589.1
GOODWILL 0.2

The transaction costs of the business combination amount to eur 33.4 million and include essentially real estate transfer tax. Non-controlling interests in eg Marl GmbH (formerly: Deutsche Annington wg iii mbH) amount to 5.1% and were measured at the proportionate share of the recognised net assets acquired.

If the portfolio had already been acquired on 1 January 2016, income from property management would have increased by around eur 12 million.

Given that the set of data has still to be completed the purchase price allocation is provisional with regard to the following items:

  • Measurement of investment properties
  • Total consideration
  • Contingent liabilities
  • Operating costs
  • Accounting for leases
  • Deferred taxes

6. Judgements and estimates

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with ifrs requires assumptions and estimates to be made that affect the recognition of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions and estimates particularly relate to the measurement of investment properties, the recognition and measurement of pension provisions, the recognition and measurement of other provisions, the measurement of financing liabilities, and the eligibility for recognition of deferred tax assets.

Although the management believes that the assumption and estimates used are appropriate, any unforeseeable changes in these assumptions could impact the net assets, financial position and results of operations.

For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2015.

7. Selected notes to the consolidated statement of financial position

On 30 June 2016, the leg Group held 129,626 apartments and 1,151 commercial units in its portfolio.

The additions included the following acquisitions:

Portfolio acquisition 1

Portfolio acquisition 1 comprises the recognition of property portfolios that were purchased as part of the acquisition of Sahle Wohnen GmbH & Co. kg. See section 5 Business combinations.

Portfolio acquisition 2

The acquisition of a property portfolio of around 2,037 residential units was notarised on 11 August 2015. The portfolio generates annual net cold rent of around eur 7.7 million. The average in-place rent is around eur 5.04 per square metre and the initial vacancy rate is around 6.7%. The transaction was closed on 1 January 2016. The portfolio acquisition does not constitute a business combination.

Portfolio acquisition 3

The acquisition of a property portfolio of around 1,291 residential units was notarised on 16 December 2015. The portfolio generates annual net cold rent of initially around eur 4.6 million. The average inplace rent is eur 5.16 per square metre; the initial vacancy rate is 17.3%. The economic transfer of 999 residential units took place as at 1 January 2016. For the remaining 292 residential units, the transaction was closed as at 1 July 2016. The portfolio acquisition does not constitute a business combination.

Portfolio acquisition 4

Portfolio 4 includes the recognition of property portfolios acquired from Vonovia se in the context of the business combination. See section 5, Business combinations.

Portfolio acquisition 5

On 12 April 2016, leg Immo signed a contract for the acquisition of a portfolio of approximately 1,100 apartments, located in leg's core market, by way of a share purchase. The agreed property value is eur 53 million; liabilities of around eur 20 million were assumed. leg's obligations under the contract were settled by issuing new leg shares. The portfolio generated rental income of around eur 4 million in the last financial year. The transaction was closed as at 30 May 2016 and does not constitute a business combination.

The reclassification to assets held for sale relates primarily to a block sale, which had a carrying amount of eur 11.4 million as at 1 January 2016. In connection with the sale negotiations, the property portfolio was revalued resulting in income from the remeasurement of investment properties of eur 960 thousand. Reclassification to assets held for sale totalled eur 12.3 million as at 31 March 2016. The carrying amount disposal was closed on 31 May 2016.

Apart from the above block sale, investment property is measured regularly at the reporting date. No further fair value adjustment was made as at 30 June 2016. With regard to the calculation methods and parameters, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2015.

In addition, the leg Group's portfolio still includes land and buildings accounted for in accordance with ias 16.

Cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of bank balances.

Changes in the components of consolidated equity are shown in the statement of changes in consolidated equity.

Financing liabilities are composed as follows:

T29 – Financing liabilities

€ million 30.06.2016 31.12.2015
Financing liabilities from
real estate financing
3,735.2 3,215.0
Financing liabilities from
lease financing
26.0 26.6
FINANCING LIABILITIES 3,761.2 3,241.6

Financing liabilities from property financing serve the financing of investment properties.

Financing liabilities from real estate financing include a convertible bond with a nominal value of eur 300.0 million. The convertible bond was classified as a financing liability on account of the issuer's contractual cash settlement option and recognised in accordance with ias 39. There are several embedded and separable derivatives that are treated as a single compound derivative in accordance with ias 39.ag29 and carried at fair value. The underlying debt instrument is recognised at amortised cost.

Extensive acquisition financing and refinancing was performed in the first half of the year. The disbursement in connection with these transactions served to increase financing liabilities by eur 837.2 million. This was offset by the derecognition of the previous loans and repayments, which reduced total financing liabilities by eur 317.0 million.

The change in maturities compared with 31 December 2015 is due in particular to the financing in the first half of the year, which led to an increase in medium-term and non-current financing liabilities.

The leg Group concludes derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risks from real estate financing, unless fixed-rate loans are chosen. Stand-alone derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives included in hedge accounting are accounted for on a pro rata basis directly in equity in other comprehensive income for the designated component of the hedge, and through profit or loss for the non-designated component including accrued interest.

8. Selected notes to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

Net rental and lease income is broken down as follows:

77.6 75.7

In the reporting period, the leg Group increased its net rental and lease income by eur 31.3 million compared with the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development was the eur 34.6 million or 16.1% rise in net cold rent. Inplace rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.4% in the reporting period as against the previous year. The new energy services business commenced on 1 January 2016 made a slightly positive contribution to earnings. This was offset by a eur 6.0 million increase in maintenance expenses.

The rental-related staff costs rose by 4.3% to eur 19.6 million and at a considerably slower yearon-year rate than in-place rent. The noi margin adjusted for one-time project costs of 77.6% was significantly higher than in the previous year (75.7%) despite higher maintenance expenses, partly reflecting the successful leveraging of economies of scale as a result of the acquisitions in leg's core markets.

Net income from the disposal of investment properties is composed as follows:

0.0 0.1
Adjusted administrative
and other expenses
–15.5 –16.7

Administrative and other expenses increased by eur 34.8 million year-on-year.

This increase was due chiefly to one-time incidental acquisition and integration costs for the acquisition of property portfolios, which contributed to project costs rising by eur 36.3 million to eur 37.9 million. eur 34.4 million of this is attributable to real estate transfer tax, which is recognised directly under expenses instead of being capitalised as cost because the acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations.

Adjusted for these non-recurring effects, current administrative expenses decreased slightly as planned and amounted to eur 15.5 million in the reporting period.

Net interest income is composed as follows:

T34 – Interest income

€ million 01.01.–
30.06.2016
01.01. –
30.06.2015
Interest income from bank balances 0.0 0.1

INTEREST INCOME 0.0 0.5

€ million 01.01.– 30.06.2016 01.01. – 30.06.2015 Interest expenses from real estate financing –33.8 –32.8 Interest expense from loan amortisation –11.8 –20.7 Prepayment penalty –0.1 –6.6 Interest expense from interest derivatives for real estate financing –7.6 –13.6 Interest expense from change in pension provisions –1.6 –1.4 Interest expense from interest on other assets and liabilities –1.1 –0.5 Interest expenses from lease financing –0.7 –0.8 Other interest expenses –4.4 –36.8 INTEREST EXPENSES –61.1 –113.2

The decline in interest expenses from loan amortisation and prepayment penalties was due in particular to the discontinuation of the non-recurring effects of the loans that were replaced as part of the planned refinancing in the 2015 financial year. Other interest expense resulted mainly from the reversal of the amounts for interest rate derivatives reported in oci for hedge accounting amounting to eur 4.4 million (previous year: eur 36.8 million), which were released in connection with the refinancing.

Interest expenses from loan amortisation include the measurement of the convertible bond at amortised cost in the amount of eur 1.6 million.

In addition, the increase in the loan volume due to acquisition financing resulted in a slight rise in interest expenses from financing of real estate. The refinancing from 2015 also had the effect of reducing interest expenses from interest rate derivatives. This was offset by the effects of the lower interest rates on interest rate derivatives.

T35 – Interest expenses

Income taxes

INCOME TAXES –27.1 –5.1
Deferred taxes –25.3 –4.0
Current income taxes –1.8 –1.1
€million 01.01.–
30.06.2016

30.06.2015
T36 – Income taxes

An effective Group tax rate of 22.7% was assumed as at 30 June 2016 in accordance with Group tax planning (previous year: 24.9%).

Current income taxes as at the comparative reporting date of 30 June 2015 included prior-period tax expenses of eur 1.0 million.

Adjusted for real estate transfer tax recognised under expenses (incidental acquisition costs requiring capitalisation for income tax purposes instead of deductible operating expenses) and the measurement effect of derivatives for the convertible bond, which is not recoverable for income tax purposes, earnings before taxes increased from eur 30.6 million in the previous year to eur 106.2 million in the reporting period. The main factors driving this development were the lower interest expenses due to the refinancing concluded in the comparative period and the significant rise in net rental and lease income.

The higher level of earnings before taxes thus contributed significantly to the increase in income tax expense by eur 22.0 million to eur 27.1 million in the reporting period.

A deferred tax expense of eur 3.0 million was recognised for the change in deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards as against 31 December 2015 (previous year: deferred tax income of eur 3.6 million).

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the shareholders by the average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.

On 30 May 2016, leg Immo implemented a capital increase against contributions in kind in a nominal amount of eur 418,397, with shareholders' preemptive rights disapplied.

0.37 –0.18

As at 30 June 2016, leg Immo had potential ordinary shares from a convertible bond, which authorise the bearer to convert it into up to 5.1 million shares.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by increasing the average number of shares outstanding by the number of all potentially dilutive shares. The net profit/loss for the period is adjusted for the expenses no longer incurring for the interest coupon, the measurement of the embedded derivatives and the amortisation of the convertible bond and the resulting tax effect in the event of the conversion rights being exercised in full.

Owing in particular to the expenses no longer incurring in the event of conversion for the measurement of the embedded derivative, the potential ordinary shares from the convertible bond are not dilutive within the meaning of ias 33.41.

The diluted earnings per share are therefore equal to the basic earnings per share.

9. Notes on Group segment reporting

As a result of the restructuring of internal management reporting in the 2016 financial year, the management of leg Immo in two segments no longer applies as at 30 June 2016. In future, the Group will be managed as one segment.

10. Financial instruments

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities broken down by measurement category and class. Receivables and liabilities from finance leases and derivatives used as hedging instruments are included even though they are not assigned to an ias 39 measurement category. With respect to reconciliation, non-financial assets and nonfinancing liabilities are also included although they are not covered by ifrs 7.

The fair values of financial instruments are determined on the basis of corresponding market values or measurement methods. For cash and cash equivalents and other short-term primary financial instruments, the fair value is approximately the same as the carrying amount at the end of the respective reporting period.

For non-current receivables, other assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated on the basis of the forecast cash flows, applying the reference interest rates as of the end of the reporting period. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date.

For financial instruments at fair value, the discounted cash flow method is used to determine fair value using corresponding quoted market prices, with individual credit ratings and other market conditions being taken into account in the form of standard credit and liquidity spreads when calculating present value. If no quoted market prices are available, the fair value is calculated using standard measurement methods applying instrument-specific market parameters.

When calculating the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the input parameters for the valuation models are the relevant market prices and interest rates observed as of the end of the reporting period, which are obtained from recognised external sources. The derivatives are therefore attributable to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ifrs 13.72 ff (measurement on the basis of observable inputs).

Both the Group's own risk and the counterparty risk were taken into account in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives in accordance with ifrs 13.

11. Related-party disclosures

Please see the ifrs consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2015 for the presentation of the ifrs 2 programmes long-term incentive plan with former shareholders, lti Management Board agreements and the settlement agreements for Supervisory Board members.

For the 2016 financial year, the Management Board employment agreements provide for a longterm incentive programme that is subject to the same contractual premises as the lti remuneration in 2015.

12. Other

leg has acquired certain portfolios in combined asset deal/share deal transaction structures. The real estate transfer tax assessments issued in this regard have so far followed leg's evaluation under tax law.

For the most recent acquisition made according to this model, the tax authorities have now expressed a different legal opinion in a letter dated 26 April 2016, which results in eur 9.5 million higher real estate transfer tax on this acquisition. leg appealed against the basic assessment notice issued in this context and applied for a suspension of execution, which was granted even without the provision of collateral. Because leg estimates the appeal will prevail, as do various tax experts, the matter does not need to be recognised on the balance sheet. It will be presented as a contingent liability.

Should leg's tax assessment regarding all portfolio acquisitions undertaken in this transaction structure be proven inaccurate, higher real estate transfer tax would be charged on the total market value of the land in these transactions. The additional charge would be approximately eur 26.8 million (including the above-mentioned eur 9.5 million).

Other than this, there were no changes with regard to contingent liabilities in comparison to 31 December 2015.

13. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board

Mr Jürgen Schulte-Laggenbeck resigned as a member of the Supervisory Board effective 31 December 2015. Dr Claus Nolting was elected to the Supervisory Board as his successor by the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2016.

There were no other changes to the composition of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board as of 30 June 2016 compared with the disclosures as of 31 December 2015.

14. Events after the end of the reporting period

There were no significant events after the end of the interim reporting period on 30 June 2016.
