Outlook and market update

What has changed since 2008?

Limited improvement in the financing environment

Increasing pressure in the leasing markets with increased tenant incentives

Price discovery process still ongoing on short dated assets regardless of quality and location as leasing market remains uncertain

Stabilised yields on long-dated assets with strong covenant tenants

Our view in 2008 Our current view

Financing situation has improved, but might further deteriorate in the near future

Leasing market has stabilised but remains challenging

Price discovery on short-dated assets has not started yet. Risk pricing still needs to adjust

Strong demand on long-dated assets, with limited stock pushing yields down

Acceleration of refinancing

  • Window of available financing might be short
  • Target for the next 18 months is to refinance the remaining EUR 646 million of loan
  • Long-term target LTV for the company is between 50% and 55%
  • Structured deleveraging process can start with a new financing in place
  • Deleveraging should be driven by new acquisitions rather than payback of debt

Yields stabilise…

… but not everywhere

  • Strong demand for long-term leases (>10 years lease length), but limited supply
  • Price discovery process still ongoing for properties with short-term leases
  • Bid-ask-gap narrowing
  • alstria is reviewing a number of selected acquisition opportunities
