leg made a good start to the fiscal year 2014 in line with planning. As anticipated, there was considerably more dynamic organic rental growth. The prospects for external growth are promising and, with the successful establishment of the multimedia business, we have tapped an attractive new business area.
In the first three months, net cold rent climbed by 5.7% yearon-year. Organic growth in rental income, which rose by 3.0%, remains a key growth driver. Rent growth per square metre increased by 2.9% on a like-for-like basis. Adjusted for typical seasonal effects, the vacancy rate is still declining. The occupancy rate thus increased by around 10 basis points yearon-year to 96.9%. This positive development is a clear sign of the high quality of the property portfolio and leg's property management expertise.
Portfolio investment decreased to eur 2.70 per square metre in the reporting period. The goal of investing approx. eur 13 per square metre in the portfolio in the fiscal year 2014 and thereby taking advantage of opportunities for targeted value-adding measures has been confirmed.
We successfully advanced the selective acquisition strategy based on strictly defined return criteria. In the current fiscal year to date, we signed an agreement to purchase a relatively small portfolio with 300 residential units. leg is already at an advanced stage of negotiations for further possible portfolio transactions. Since the ipo in 2013, around 7,000 units with an attractive initial ffo of over 8% have already been purchased.
leg is confident regarding the further development anticipated over the course of the year. The acquisition target of a total of 10,000 units by the end of the year is expected to be achieved or even exceeded. In this context, the issue of a conver tible bond with a volume of eur 300 million strengthened leg's position for a further acceleration of external growth.
Bolstered by its efficient portfolio structure with a strong regional focus, leg boasts leading profitability in the sector. For example, the key financial performance indicator of ffo i rose by 21.3% year-on-year to eur 41.0 million.
The epra net asset value was eur 49.23 per share at the end of the quarter, up 1.4% compared to the end of the past fiscal year. A strong balance sheet and secure long-term financing remain the foundation for leg's strategy geared towards sustainable growth. The low loan-to-value ratio of 47.3% demonstrates leg's outstandingly strong financial position within its sector. An average debt maturity of 10.7 years with attractive conditions continues to ensure a high visibility for future profits and dividends.
Issuing a convertible bond resulted in diversification of the financing structure and further optimisation of the financing profile. The attractive conditions with an interest coupon of 0.5% for an unsecured bond and a conversion premium of 30% attest to the bond markets' confidence and leg's low credit risk.
One important strategic step for leg was the expansion of tenant-focussed services with the establishment of the multimedia business, which took effect at the start of the year. This business ideally combines the interests of our tenants and our shareholders with a substantial increase in our earnings power. leg is currently reviewing further options for expanding the service business.
Based on this positive business performance, leg is also reiterating its outlook for the fiscal year 2014 with anticipated ffo i of eur 155 million to eur 159 million (eur 2.93 to eur 3.00 per share). This earnings outlook does not yet factor in any anticipated positive effects from issuing the convertible bond and from further planned acquisitions.
We would like to thank our shareholders, tenants and business partners for the trust they have placed in us.

A positive development in the economic indicators of the euro zone, including the further improvement of the bond markets in many European countries, provided the stock market with positive stimulus. Negative factors working against this included the crisis in Ukraine, slowdown of economic activity in China, severe currency turbulence in some emerging economies and the introduction of a less expansive monetary policy by the us Federal Reserve Bank.

8 Quarterly Report 1/2014 LEG Immobilien AG
As of 31 March 2014, the portfolio of LEG Immobilien AG comprised 94,998 residential units, 1,030 commercial units and 22,926 garages and parking spaces. Most of the properties are situated in approx. 160 locations in
North Rhine-Westphalia. The average apartment size is 64 square metres and has three rooms. The buildings contain an average of 6.5 residential units and cover an average of three floors.
Based on a scoring system developed by cbre, the leg portfolio can be divided into three market clusters: growth markets, stable markets and higher-yielding markets. All 54 municipalities and rural districts of North Rhine-Westphalia were analysed. The portfolio covers the entire federal state apart from the city of Leverkusen and the Olpe, Kleve and Viersen districts.
growth markets are characterised by a positive population trend, favourable forecasts for household numbers and sustained high demand for housing. stable markets are more varied than growth markets in terms of their demographic and socio-economic development and have, on average, a sound to high level of attractiveness for the real estate industry. higheryielding markets are generally subject to a greater risk of population declines. However, given a strong local presence, attractive micro-locations and good market penetration, these geographical sub-markets will continue to offer opportunities for attractive returns.
The underlying indicators are based on the following demographic, socio-economic and property market data:
The scoring model is updated every three years and remained unchanged in comparison to the previous year. Based on this system, the market ranking is headed by Bonn followed by Muenster, the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, Cologne and Dusseldorf.
Another 15 growth markets are located in Rhineland, parts of Muensterland and in the Paderborn district. At the top of the list of municipalities and districts in the stable markets category are the Aachen district, the Oberberg district and Bielefeld. They are followed by another 20 sub-markets spread throughout the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Unna district heads the segment of markets with higher returns, followed by another ten sub-markets – mainly in the Ruhr area and more rural regions of Sauerland.
In the first quarter of 2014, a portfolio acquisition of 735 residential units was consolidated as of 1 February 2014.
For reasons relating to the portfolio strategy, 25 residential units in different locations were sold in the first quarter.
Taking account of further changes such as apartment mergers, the residential property portfolio increased to 94,998 units in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 94,311 units in the previous quarter.
Similar to the previous year, the positive trend in rents continued in all sub-markets:
In-place rent rose by 2.9% year-on-year from eur 4.91 per square metre to eur 5.05 per square metre on a like-for-like basis (to eur5.04 per square metre in absolute terms).
Broken down by type of financing, an increase of 3.2% to eur 5.34 per square metre (on a like-for-like basis) was recorded for the free-financed segment.
In the growth markets, rent per square metre increased by 3.6% year-on-year to eur 6.02 per square metre. In the stable markets, rent per square metre rose again significantly by 2.6% compared to its level twelve months ago to eur 4.97 per square metre, whereas in our higher-yielding markets it was up 2.8% at eur4.85 per square metre (each case on a like-for-like basis).
In the segment of rent-controlled apartments, the average in-place rent generated climbed by 2.2% year-on-year from eur 4.50 per square metre to eur 4.60 per square metre (on a like-for-like basis) as a result of the periodic adjustment of the cost of rent in January 2014.

With an occupancy rate of 96.9% (on a like-for-like basis) as of the reporting date, the positive trend continued, adjusted for seasonal effects, with a year-on-year increase of ten basis points. In total, the number of vacant apartments as of 31 March 2014 was 2,782 (on a like-for-like basis) or 3,163 (in absolute terms) if acquisitions are taken into account.
The high level of demand for rental apartments in all market segments has led to occupancy rates of 98.6% in the growth markets (Q1 2013: 98.5%). Vacancy rates of 3.6% (Q1 2013: 4.0%) in the stable markets and 4.5% (Q1 2013: 4.5%) in the higher-yielding markets (on a like-for-like basis in each case) also attest to our attractive housing supply.
Turnover, which serves as an indicator of tenant satisfaction, amounted to 10.6% as of the reporting date 31 March 2014 (previous year's reporting date 31 March 2013: 10.4%) and thus remained at a low level.
The following table shows the distribution of assets by market segment. Based on in-place rents, the rental yield of the portfolio is 7.3% (rent multiplier of 13.8x).
The first quarter of 2014 was dominated by sustainable construction progress in modernisation projects, particularly in Gelsenkirchen and Ahlen. In addition, further major projects for energy modernisation of the building shell were commissioned in Ratingen, Monheim and Muenster.
A total of eur 16.6 million was spent on maintenance and on value-adding investments eligible for capitalisation in the first quarter of 2014 (same period of previous year: eur 19.2 million). This corresponds to an average investment volume of eur 2.70 per square metre.
Of the total expenses, eur 8.3 million (same period of previous year: eur 7 million) was attributable to measures eligible for capitalisation (capex) and eur 8.3 million to expenditurerelated maintenance measures (same period of previous year: eur12.2 million).
The capitalisation rate rose to 50.1% in the first quarter of 2014 after 36.5% in the same period of the previous year. A scheduled increase in investments is expected over the remainder of the year and the target of around eur 13.00 per square metre on average is being reiterated. The increasing investments should further positively impact rents and vacancy reduction.

Operating earnings (before taxes) amounted to eur 61.0 million in the reporting period (same period of previous year: eur 48.4 million). The main driver behind the eur 12.6 million improvement in operating earnings was the improved net rental and lease income as a result of higher net cold rent of eur5.1 million and lower maintenance expenses.
The decrease in interest expenses is mainly due to refinancing in the previous year, and the associated decline in loan amortisation. This made a significant contribution to the year-on-year improvement in net finance costs of eur 4.4 million in the reporting period.
Despite an increase in income taxes due to higher expenses for deferred taxes, net income of eur 22.4 million was generated in the reporting period.
For segment reporting, the condensed form of the income statement for the reporting period from 1 January to 31 March 2014 is as follows: table 7
The Housing segment generated operating segment earnings of eur 60.4 million in the reporting period, while the Other segment generated operating segment earnings of eur 0.6 million.
The condensed form of the income statement for the prior-year period from 1 January to 31 March 2013, broken down by segment, is as follows: table 8
The Housing segment generated operating segment earnings of eur 52.7 million in the prior-year period, while the Other segment generated operating segment earnings of eur – 3.4 million.
Income from leg Management GmbH's business management contracts with portfolio companies in the Housing segment accounts for the largest share of income in the Other segment. The resulting income in the Other segment and the corresponding expenses in the Housing segment are intragroup items and are eliminated in the »Reconciliation« column.
Intragroup transactions between the segments are conducted at standard market conditions.

In the first quarter of 2014, the leg Group increased net rental and lease income by eur 11.0 million in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year. This development was chiefly due to a eur 5.1 million rise in net cold rent and lower maintenance costs (down by eur 3.9 million).
Rent increases, a slight reduction in vacancy rates on a like-for-like basis and property portfolio acquisitions contributed to a yearon-year increase in net cold rent of 5.7% from eur 89.2 million in the prior reporting period to eur 94.3 million in the current reporting period. The positive trend from the past year continued in the first quarter. Based on rent increases and vacancy reduction, organic rent growth in the housing segment accelerated and amounted to 3.0%.
The leg Group made targeted investments in its properties in the reporting period. At eur 16.6 million, total investment was, as planned, eur 2.6 million lower than in the same period of the previous year. The acquired property portfolios accounted for eur0.5 million of total investment.

After a higher than average share of maintenance measures were performed in the first quarter of 2013, the share of capitalisable measures increased in the first quarter of 2014. Total investment in the first quarter was also down compared to the previous year's level. Overall, maintenance expense therefore fell from eur 12.2 million in the equivalent period of 2013 to eur 8.3 million in the reporting period. One main focus of maintenance expenses related to renovation work on successful re-letting.
The planned modernisation measures will increase as the financial year progresses. A rise in investments is thus expected over the remainder of the year. Compliance with the social charter requirements regarding the minimum investment volume is ensured.

As a result of targeted portfolio streamlining, investment property was also sold to a limited extent in the reporting period. In the reporting period, the leg Group sold these disposal properties overall at slightly above their carrying amounts.
The cost of sales of the investment property sold (staff costs and non-staff operating costs, excluding non-recurring effects) was roughly at the previous year's level.

Net income from other services mainly relates to in electricity and heat fed to the grid and to activities from it services for third parties.
The lower income is the result of a decline in income from electricity and heat. There was a negative impact here from rising material costs and non-recurring effects relating to electricity and heat supply, which mainly contributed to the increase in expenses in connection with other services.

The decrease in other operating expenses primarily results from consulting and non-staff operating costs of eur 5.7 million caused by the ipo in 2013 and from non-recurring project-related expenses in the previous year in the amount of eur 1.7 million.
The main reason for the reduction in staff costs is the discontinuation of bonuses that were paid in the context of the ipo in 2013. The share attributable to administrative and other expenses amounted to eur 2.5 million.
Project costs and other non-recurring effects totalled eur 0.5 million in the reporting period (same period of previous year: eur 2.8 million). After adjustment for these effects and for depreciation on property, plant and equipment and amortisation on intangible assets, current administrative and other expenses amounted to eur 7.8 million (same period of previous year: eur 8.1 million). Savings in ongoing consulting costs offset the slight increase in staff costs.

The decline in interest expenses from eur 35.1 million in the same period of 2013 to eur 30.0 million in the reporting period mainly results from the decline in interest expenses from loan amortisation.
The decline in interest expenses from loan amortisation is attributable in particular to non-recurring effects in the equivalent period of the previous year that resulted from refinancing.
Net income from the remeasurement at market value of derivatives resulted from changes in the market value of stand-alone interest rate derivatives over time.
Adjusted for prepayment penalties, among other items, net cash interest expense rose to eur 23.6 million (same period of previous year: eur 20.6 million). This development was mainly attributed to the elimination of quarterly fluctuation of the interest expenses for subsidized loans.
The average interest rate for the entire loan portfolio fell slightly to 3.2% (31 March 2013: 3.3%) with an average term of 10.7 years.

The rise in tax expense is almost entirely due to the increase in deferred taxes.
Furthermore, the first quarter in 2013 saw deferred taxes in the amount of eur 1.7 million from the result of capitalisation of deferred tax assets. Since for the fiscal year 2014 a partial tax loss carryforward is expected, deferred tax expenses in the amount of eur 0.5 million have been noted for the first quarter in 2014.
ffo i is a key financial performance indicator of the leg Group. The leg Group distinguishes between ffo i (not including net income from the disposal of investment property), ffo ii (including net income from the disposal of investment property) and affo (ffo i adjusted for capex capitalisation). The calculation methods for these key performance indicators can be found in the glossary in the annual report.The calculation of ffo i, ffo ii and affo for the reporting period and the same period of the previous year is as follows:

ffo i (not including net income from the disposal of investment property) amounted to eur 41.0 million in the reporting period, up 21.3% on the previous year's figure (eur 33.8 million). This increase particularly reflects the effects of the rise in net cold rent including the effects from acquisitions as well as lower maintenance expenses in comparison to the same period of the previous year. Maintenance expenses are expected to increase in the following quarters of the fiscal year 2014.

Total assets amounted to eur 5,490.9 million as of the reporting date (31 December 2013: eur 5,423.1 million).
On the assets side, non-current assets constitute the largest item, totalling eur 5,291.2 million. The leg Group's main assets consist of investment property of eur 5,195.4 million as of 31 March 2014 (31 December 2013: eur 5,163.4 million), which accounted for 94.6% of total assets as of that date (31 December 2013: 95.2%).
Prepayments for investment property for the acquisition of further property portfolios are reported in the amount of eur 3.1 million as of the interim reporting date. The economic transfer of these approximately 2,500 units will take place over the course of 2014.
The main equity and liability items are the reported equity of eur 2,288.1 million (31 December 2013: eur 2,276.1 million) and the financial liabilities of eur 2,607.2 million (31 December 2013: eur2,583.7 million).
Net income for the period (eur 22.4 million) and losses from the remeasurement at market value of effective interest rate derivatives reported directly in equity in other comprehensive income (eur 11.0 million) were the main drivers behind the increase in equity. The rise in financial liabilities as of 31 March 2014 compared to 31 December 2013 is attributable to refinancing, loan disbursements and purchase price financing of the acquired portfolios.

Net income of eur 22.4 million was generated in the reporting period (same period of previous year: net income of eur 11.3 million). Equity amounted to eur 2,288.1 million as of the reporting date (31 December 2013: eur 2,276.1 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 41.7% (31 December 2013: 42.0%).
In the first three months of 2014, leg carried out refinancing with a total volume of eur 8.3 million, which was mainly used to repay higher-interest wfa loans. Further loan disbursements of eur 27.1 million increased loan liabilities, while scheduled and extraordinary repayments had the opposite effect.
A condensed form of the leg Group's statement of cash flows for the reporting period is shown below:
| 14.8 |
|---|
| – 8.0 |
| – 20.3 |
| –13.5 |
Compared to the same period of the previous year, cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period was affected in particular by higher payments received for rents including ancillary costs and by lower payments made for operating costs. In addition, the previous year's cash flow from operating activities was negatively impacted by payments made for ipo costs.
Property portfolio acquisitions resulted in outgoing payments of eur 26.0 million in the cash flow from investing activities. In addition, outgoing payments for modernisation of the property portfolio led to cash flow from investing activities of eur32.0 million.
At the end of the fiscal year 2012, prepayment penalties of eur 10.4 million were recognised as part of refinancing. These were paid in the same period of the previous year and were largely responsible for the fact that the previous year's cash flow from financing activities posted a high negative net payment. Loan disbursements of eur 35.4 million resulted in positive cash flow from financing activities of eur 17.1 million in the reporting period.
The leg Group's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.
On 7 April 2014, leg Immobilien ag issued a non-subordinated, unsecured convertible bond maturing in 2021 with a total nominal amount of eur 300 million. Subscription rights of the shareholders of leg Immo were disapplied. The convertible bonds can be converted into approximately 4.8 million new or existing registered ordinary shares of leg Immo. This corresponds to around 9.1% of the outstanding share capital of leg Immo.
The proceeds from the issue of the convertible bonds are to be used to speed up the selective external growth strategy. Furthermore, the capital market financing represented a diversification of the Group's sources of financing.
As part of a bookbuilding procedure, the coupon was set at 0.50% p.a., payable semi-annually in arrears, and the initial conversion premium was set at 30% above the reference price of eur 47.99. The initial conversion price is thus eur 62.39. The convertible bonds have a term of 7.2 years with a put option for the investors after 5.2 years. They are issued and repaid at 100% of their nominal amount.
They were delivered in exchange for payment (value date) on 10 April 2014.
On 16 April 2014, the purchase of a property portfolio comprising around 300 residential units was notarised. The portfolio generates an annual net cold rent of eur 1.4 million. The average in-place rent is eur 5.43 per square metre and the initial vacancy rate is around 3.2%. The purchase price of the acquisition totals eur 19.3 million. The forecast ffo return of the portfolio is over 8%. The transaction will be closed on 1 June 2014.
The risks and opportunities faced by leg in its operating activities were described in detail in the 2013 annual report. To date, further risks that would lead to a different assessment have arisen or become discernible in the fiscal year 2014.
Based on the business performance in line with planning in the first three months, leg is well on track to achieve the goals it has set itself for 2014 as a whole.
leg is reiterating its outlook of ffo i of between eur 155.0 million and eur 159.0 million (eur 2.93 to eur 3.00 per share) in 2014. This does not yet factor in the anticipated positive effects from issuing the convertible bonds and from planned future acquisitions.
The development in the first quarter confirms the outlook of an acceleration in rent growth on a like-for-like basis. For the 2014 financial growth, rent growth per square metre is still expected to be at the upper end of a range of 2% to 3% on a like-for-like basis. The positive year-on-year trend in the occupancy rate is also expected to continue.
In the next quarters of the current financial year, a rise in portfolio investment per square metre is planned. The target for investment of around eur 13 per square metre, therefore, still applies for 2014.
Acquisitions remain a key pillar of the value-oriented growth strategy. Since the ipo in 2013, some 7,000 residential units have already been purchased on the basis of strict acquisition criteria. leg is confident that the target of a total of 10,000 units by the end of 2014 can be achieved or exceeded.

leg Immobilien ag, Dusseldorf (referred to hereinafter as »leg Immo«; formerly leg Immobilien GmbH) and its subsidiary leg nrw GmbH, Dusseldorf (formerly leg Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Nordrhein-Westfalen GmbH, Dusseldorf, referred to hereinafter as »leg«) and the subsidiaries of the latter (together referred to hereinafter as the »leg Group«) are among the largest housing companies in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. On 31 March 2014, the leg Group held 96,028 units (residential and commercial) in its portfolio.
leg Immo, Hans-Boeckler-Strasse 38, 40476 Dusseldorf, was established on 9 May 2008 and is entered in the commercial register of the Dusseldorf District Court under hrb 69386. leg nrw, the main subsidiary of leg Immo, was established in 1970. The company is also based at Hans-Boeckler-Strasse 38, 40476 Dusseldorf, and is entered in the commercial register of the Dusseldorf District Court under hrb 12200.
As an integrated property company, leg Immo, together with its subsidiaries, pursues two core activities: long-term, value-adding management of its residential property portfolio and strategic purchases of housing portfolios for long-term value growth.
With the entry in the commercial register on 11 January 2013, the legal form of leg Immobilien GmbH was changed and it was renamed leg Immobilien ag.
The ipo of leg Immo took place on 1 February 2013 with the initial listing of its shares on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt stock exchange.
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless otherwise indicated, all figures are rounded to millions of euros (eur million). For computational reasons, rounding differences from the exact mathematical figures may occur in tables and notes.
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 mainly generates net rental and lease income from investment property. Rental and lease business is largely unaffected by seasonal and cyclical influences.
The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated financial statements of the leg Group correspond to the accounting policies presented in the ifrs consolidated financial statements of leg Immo as of 31 December 2013. These interim consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2014 should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2013.
The leg Group has fully applied the new standards and interpretations that are mandatory from 1 January 2014. Their application did not result in any significant effects on its net assets, financial position and results of operations.
There were three intragroup mergers in the first quarter of 2014, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the number of consolidated subsidiaries in the leg Group. The changes in the scope of consolidation did not have any impact on the net assets, financial position and results of operations.
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 property, the recognition and measurement of pension provisions, the recognition and measurement of other provisions, the measurement of financial 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 2013.
On 31 March 2014, the leg Group held 94,998 apartments and 1,030 commercial units in its portfolio.
Investment property developed as follows in the fiscal year 2013 and in 2014 up to the reporting date of the interim consolidated financial statements:
| € million | 31.03.2014 | 31.12.2013 |

– | 1.2 |
| Fair value adjustment | – | 81.6 |
| CARRYING AMOUNT AS OF 31.12. | 5,195.4 | 5,163.4 |
The reclassification to assets held for sale relates to individual sales from the residential property portfolio.
Purchases include the capitalisation of a purchase of a property portfolio consisting of around 735 residential units with a purchase agreement dated 7 November 2013. The annual rental income amounts to eur 2.1 million. The average in-place rent is eur 4.64 per square metre and the vacancy rate is 5.2%. The purchase price including incidental costs of acquisition totals eur26.0 million. The transaction was closed on 1 February 2014.
Because no remeasurement of investment property was performed as at the interim reporting date, the fair values were not adjusted. With regard to the calculation methods and parameters, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2013.
In addition, the leg Group's portfolio also 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 consolidated statement of changes in equity.
Financial liabilities break down as follows:
| € million | 31.03.2014 | 31.12.2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Financing liabilities from real | ||
| estate financing | 2,582.6 | 2,558.9 |
| Financing liabilities from lease financing | 24.6 | 24.8 |
| FINANCING LIABILITIES | 2,607.2 | 2,583.7 |
Financial liabilities from real estate financing result from financing for investment property.
In the first three months of 2014, leg carried out refinancing with a total volume of eur 8.3 million, which was mainly used to repay higher-interest wfa loans. This also led to a decrease in the number of loans.
Further loan disbursements of eur 27.1 million increased loan liabilities, while scheduled and extraordinary repayments had the opposite effect.
| 2,582.6 | 2,558.9 |
|---|---|
| 1,104.1 | 1,096.6 |
| 1,261.1 | 1,279.1 |
| 217.4 | 183.2 |
| 31.03.2014 | 31.12.2013 |
The leg Group concludes derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risks from real estate financing. 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 nondesignated component including accrued interest.
Rental and lease income is broken down as follows:
| Rental income | 142.0 | 131.3 |
|---|---|---|
| Other income | 0.1 | 0.2 |
| RENTAL AND LEASE INCOME | 142.1 | 131.5 |
| € million | 31.03.2014 | 31.03.2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchased services | – 49.6 | – 46.5 |
| Ongoing maintenance | – 8.3 | –12.2 |
| Staff costs | – 8.4 | – 9.8 |
| Depreciation and amortisation | –1.0 | –1.1 |
| Other operating expenses | – 4.3 | – 4.5 |
| Reimbursement of IPO costs by shareholders |
– | 2.1 |
| COST OF SALE IN CONNECTION WITH | ||
| RENTAL AND LEASE INCOME | – 71.6 | – 72.0 |
| NET RENTAL AND LEASE INCOME | 70.5 | 59.5 |
The rise in rental income in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013, results from an increase in net cold rent, a slight decline in the vacancy rate and property portfolio acquisitions.
After an above average amount of maintenance costs were performed in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2013, the first quarter in 2014 saw an increase in capital expenses. Overall, investments in the current reporting period were lower than investments in the same period of the previous year. In total, investment expenses of eur 12.2 million were spent in the first quarter of 2013, compared to eur 8.3 million spent in the first quarter of 2014. A key reason for the maintenance expenses was related to re-lettings.
In the context of the company's successful ipo, bonuses totalling eur 4.7 million were paid to employees in 2013. The share of these expenses attributable to the cost of rental and letting amounted to eur 2.1 million and was passed on in full to the shareholders Saturea b.v. and Perry Luxco re.
Net income from the disposal of investment property is broken down as follows:
table 31
| € million | 31.03.2014 | 31.03.2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Income from the disposal of | ||

| INVESTMENT PROPERTIES SOLD | – 0.2 | – 0.3 |

Administrative and other expenses are broken down as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 31.03.2014 |
01.01. – 31.03.2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Other operating expenses | – 2.4 | –10.4 |
| Staff costs | – 5.7 | – 8.4 |
| Purchased services | – 0.2 | – 0.3 |
| Depreciation, amortisation and write-downs |
– 0.5 | – 0.5 |
| Reimbursement of IPO costs by shareholders |
– | 8.2 |
| ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER EXPENSES | – 8.8 | –11.4 |
The decrease in other operating expenses primarily results from the consulting and non-staff operating costs of eur 5.7 million caused by the ipo in 2013 and from non-recurring project-related expenses in the previous year in the amount of eur1.7 million.
The main reason for the reduction in staff costs is the discontinuation of bonuses that were paid in the context of the ipo in 2013. The share attributable to administrative and other expenses amounted to eur 2.5 million.
Project costs and other non-recurring effects totalled eur 0.5 million in the reporting period (same period of previous year: eur 2.8 million). After adjustment for these effects and for depreciation on property, plant and equipment and amortisation on intangible assets, current administrative and other expenses amounted to eur 7.8 million (same period of previous year: eur 8.1 million). Savings in ongoing consulting costs offset the slight increase in staff costs.
Net interest is broken down as follows:
| € million | 31.03.2014 | 31.03.2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest income from bank balances | 0.1 | 0.2 |
| Other interest income | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| INTEREST INCOME | 0.1 | 0.2 |
| € million | 31.03.2014 | 31.03.2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expenses from real estate financing | –17.5 | –18.8 |
| Interest expense from loan amortisation | – 4.6 | –10.2 |
| Interest expense from interest derivatives for real estate financing |
– 6.0 | – 4.0 |
| Interest expense from change in pension provisions |
–1.0 | –1.0 |
| Interest expense from interest on other assets and liabilities |
– 0.4 | – 0.6 |
| Interest expenses from lease financing | – 0.4 | – 0.4 |
| Other interest expenses | – 0.1 | – 0.1 |
| INTEREST EXPENSES | – 30.0 | – 35.1 |
The decline in interest expenses from property financing is due to refinancing in the previous year. The decline in interest expenses from loan amortisation is attributable in particular to non-recurring effects in the equivalent period of the previous year that resulted from refinancing.
The increase in interest expense from interest rate derivatives results from the conclusion of new interest rate derivatives in the equivalent period of the previous year.
| Current income taxes | – 0.1 | 0.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred taxes | – 6.4 | – 0.8 |
| INCOME TAXES | – 6.5 | – 0.6 |
The Group tax projection assumed an effective Group tax rate of 21.3% for the first quarter of 2014, as in the same period of the previous year.
As of 31 March 2014, deferred tax expense of eur 0.4 million was recognised for the change in deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards as compared to 31 December 2013 (same period of previous year: deferred tax income of eur 1.7 million).

It also includes receivables and liabilities from finance leases and derivatives in hedging relationships, although these do not belong to any of the measurement categories under ias 39. In addition, non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are also presented with regard to reconcilability with the statement of financial position, although they do not fall within the scope of ifrs 7.
The fair values of financial instruments are determined based on corresponding market values or measurement methods. For cash and cash equivalents and other short-term primary financial instruments, the fair values approximate the carrying amounts recognised at the respective reporting dates.
In the case of non-current receivables, other assets and liabilities, fair value is determined based on expected cash flows, applying the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date.
In the case of financial instruments recognised at fair value, fair value is determined based on corresponding market prices or stock exchange prices using the discounted cash flow method, with individual credit ratings and other market conditions taken into account in the form of standard creditworthiness and liquidity spreads when determining the present value. If there are no market prices or stock exchange prices available, fair value is measured by applying standard measurement methods, also taking account of instrument-specific market parameters.
To determine the fair values of derivative financial instruments, the relevant market prices and interest rates observed on the reporting date, which are obtained from recognised external sources, are used as inputs for the measurement model. 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).
In determining the fair value of derivatives, both the company's own risk and counterparty risk in accordance with ifrs 13 are taken into account.

On 23 January 2014, the shareholder Saturea b.v. placed almost 15.2 million shares in an accelerated bookbuilding procedure, causing its holding to decrease from 28.65% to around 0.41%. As a result, Saturea b.v. and its legal representatives are no longer related parties as defined by ias 24.
With regard to the presentation of the ifrs 2 programmes – long-term incentive plan agreements with former shareholders, lti Management Board employment agreements and settlement agreements with Supervisory Board members – please refer to the ifrs consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2013.
For the 2014 financial year, the Management Board employment agreements provide for a long-term incentive programme that is subject to the same contractual premises as the lti remuneration in 2013. At the recommendation of the Executive Committee of the Supervisory Board, on 25 March 2014 the Supervisory Board resolved to extend the Management Board employment agreement for Holger Hentschel until 1 January 2017 and to increase the remuneration retroactively as of 1 January 2014. Other than this, there were no significant changes with regard to related parties as compared to the disclosures made as of 31 December 2013.
There were no changes with regard to contingent liabilities in comparison to 31 December 2013.
As of 31 March 2014, no changes had occurred in the composition of the Management Board compared to the disclosures as of 31 December 2013.
On 4 March 2014, the Supervisory Board members Heather Mulahasani, James Garman and Dr. Martin Hintze, who were attributable to the former major shareholder Saturea b.v., resigned from their positions with effect from 2 April 2014. At the next Annual General Meeting, which will be held on 25 June 2014, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of leg Immobilien ag will propose that the Supervisory Board be reduced to six members.
On 7 April 2014, leg Immobilien ag issued a non-subordinated, unsecured convertible bond maturing in 2021 with a total nominal amount of eur 300 million. Subscription rights of the shareholders of leg Immo were disapplied. The convertible bonds can be converted into approximately 4.8 million new or existing registered ordinary shares of leg Immo. This corresponds to around 9.1% of the outstanding share capital of leg Immo.
By issuing the convertible bonds, leg Immo is diversifying its sources of financing and thereby strengthening its financial profile. The net proceeds from issuing the convertible bonds increase leg Immo's financial scope for action and contribute to speeding up the leg Group's sustainable growth strategy.
As part of a bookbuilding procedure, the coupon was set at 0.50% p.a., payable semi-annually in arrears, and the initial conversion premium was set at 30% above the reference price of eur 47.99. The initial conversion price is thus eur 62.39. The convertible bonds have a term of 7.2 years and are issued and repaid at 100% of their nominal amount. They were delivered in exchange for payment (value date) on 10 April 2014.
On 16 April 2014, the purchase of a property portfolio comprising around 300 residential units was notarised. The portfolio generates an annual rental income rent of eur 1.4 million. The average in-place rent is eur 5.43 per square metre and the initial vacancy rate is 3.2%. The purchase price totals eur 19.3 million. The transaction will be closed on 1 June 2014.
Refinancing in the amount of eur 2.8 million was carried out by leg Wohnen GmbH, new financing in the amount of eur 9.4 million was carried out by leg Consult GmbH, as well as repayment of loans by 4. leg Grundstücksgesellschaft GmbH in the amount of eur 16.5 million after the interim reporting date on 31 March 2014.
