Financing Structure - 30 September 2015

Value accretive growth on basis of a highly focused management platform

NRW market: Strong fundamentals suggest catch-up potential

  • Many core markets in still early stage of the cycle with accelerating demand growth
  • Affordable living in NRW key beneficiary of paradigm change of rising immigration
  • High affordability in NRW indicates superior relative value
  • LEG portfolio: attractive yield differential (yield 7.3%, value/sqm €826) despite sound growth dynamics (rent CAGR 2013-17e: +2.8%)

Exploiting attractive scale effects in our core markets

  • Acquisition of approx. 20,000 units YTD in core markets; expansion of leading market position
  • Strict investment criteria maintained: no NAV dilution, FFO accretion, efficiency gains (contribution to rising EBITDA margin)
  • Purchase of 13,800 units from Vonovia ideally fits into LEG's growth strategy
  • Transaction price in line with year end valuation
  • Significant positive contribution to FFO per share expected (estimate: 3-4% per share)
  • EBITDA margin >72% due to high synergies despite higher capex/maintenance
  • Additional value upside (rents, vacancies) on basis of LEG platform
  • LEG natural buyer in attractive NRW market: superior scale effects + very strong reputation as sustainable landlord

Value accretive growth on basis of a highly focused management platform

Efficiency program beating expectations / EBITDA margin target raised

  • Comprehensive approach covering all processes and functions; harvesting the fruits of a concentrated portfolio
  • Upward revision of cost savings target from €5m to €10m (full effect in FY-2017)
  • Process innovations key driver for sustainably lower cost base
  • Examples: service centre for standard requests, higher standardisation of turn costs
  • EBITDA margin target 2017 raised to 72% (up from 71%)
  • Further strengthening of our leading operating profitability in the sector

More active capital recycling ahead: Creating additional value

  • Portfolio has reached critical size
  • More active selling of apartment blocks to investors; no tenant privatisation
  • Crystallising attractive relative prices
  • Opportunistic disposals (after transformation of assets from value-add/opportunistic to core)
  • Status: analysis of portfolio; completion in Q4
