  • Worsening is based on further tightened global lockdown measures
    • Hotels closed for pleasure trips across Europe, business travel very limited
    • Shopping malls are closed in most countries
    • Exit locks starting in the evening hours or throughout the whole day are in place

Worsened economic outlook but strong signals for intact swoosh recovery

▪ Comparing January 2021 vs. September 2020's GDP expectations a significant short term worsening is visible, but start of vaccination campaigns is expected to strongly support positive GDP developments by mid 2021

1 UK expectations 2021 significantly down due to Brexit and Covid-19 mutations

Preliminary results 2020

NII & NCI with positive development in 2020; Admin below expectations due to Covid-19 related effects

Admin

  • FY 2020 admin expenses significantly below planning due to Covid-19 effects
    • Covid-19 related underspend in 2020 (e.g. travel expenses, significantly lower variable compensation vs. 2019) - underspending effects expected not to be sustainable
    • Decreasing provisions from deferred stock based remuneration, aligning shareholder's interest and management remuneration
  • Aareon with increasing admin expensed reflecting it's growth program (€ 188 mn in 2020 vs. € 173 mn in 2019)
    • ➢ Continuation expected for 2021

Asset Quality

Asset Quality

Overall LTV development better than anticipated in Q3

1) Performing CREF-portfolio only (exposure)

  • Overall average LTV increase to 60% in Q4 2020 (vs. 57% in Q3) less pronounced than expected; however, few but significant outliers
  • The scope of current independent value appraisals within the Covid-19 affected portfolio (Hotel, Retail, Student Housing) covers this portfolio by targeted ~85%
  • Fat tail: Generally, all loans with LtV >100% now classified as stage 3. Additionally, stage 3 LLP was recognised for existing NPLs along with external appraisal values
  • Liquidity demand remains moderate (Q2 2020: € 160 mn, Q3 2020: € 27 mn, Q4 2020: € 79 mn) – infected volume virtually stable in Q4 at € ~7 bn
    • Based on the extended and further tightened global lockdown measures, we have generally classified all loans for which liquidity support measures (payment deferrals and liquidity facilities) were classified as stage 2 (with 80% related to hotels) – thus recognising forward looking loss allowance for increased default risks, but which have not materialised
    • Stage 2 LLP up by net € 65 mn (Q4: € 31 mn) excl. outflow from stage migration e.g. from stage 2 to 3

Loss allowance (LLP) / Others

Covid-19 related comprehensive risk provisioning

Covid-19 related P/L effects with respect to asset valuation

  • Q4 stage 3 LLP: € 168 mn (incl. € 15 mn FVPL)
    • € 110 mn apply to retail NPLs in UK, thereof € 70 mn to three new retail NPLs
      • − Classification as NPL was triggered by value decrease showing in new appraisals
    • € 58 mn apply to other NPLs representing a challenging Q4 (avg. Q4 LLP 2012-2019: € ~40 mn)
  • Overall, having recognised forward-looking additional loss allowance to a significant extent, the Bank is therefore comprehensively taking account of the December/January intensification of the pandemic

Asset Quality

UK Shopping Centres particularly hit by worse than expected UK macro development

  • Acceleration of structural change in UK retail sector particularly impacting Shopping Centres
  • Significant value deterioration in particular certain shopping centres
  • UK retail Portfolio total of 14 loans comprising
    • ❑ 6 loans (~30 retail parks) proven to be more resilient
    • ❑ 8 shopping centres loans
      • − Volume-weighted decline of values > 40% vs. 12/18 (of which > 30%-points in 2020)
      • − 2 malls (€ ~110 mn) performing with a current LTVs of max. 70%
      • − 6 malls (€ ~440 mn) in NPL (stage 3 / FVPL), coverage ratio ex FVPL ~45%

Defaulted exposure

NPL portfolio burdened by Covid-19 linked economic downturn

Asset Quality Update Real Estate Environment

  • Our clients continue to support their assets
  • Real Estate remains one of the most thought after asset classes to invest in
  • Asia Pacific is recuperating well and is approaching pre-Covid-19 levels
  • Recovery in the US is gaining momentum
  • Europe/UK still affected by further lock-downs and heterogeneous approaches to the pandemic
  • Vaccination numbers are increasing steadily across the globe, though some countries are more efficient than others
  • Still no significant NPL or Forced-Sales Volumes
  • Construction activities below historical average
  • Interest rates remain low for the short to medium term

Asset Quality Update Retail Portfolio

1) Performing CREF-portfolio only (exposure)

Asset Quality Update Retail Environment

  • Aareal revalued 94% of its entire retail portfolio in 2020, thereof nearly 100% of the Covid-19 affected engagements
  • First investors started to look at transactions with signs of liquidity coming back
  • To remember: Brick&Mortar are the backbone of an omni-channel system
  • On-line retail likely to somewhat reduce, once physical stores open again
  • EU savings per end 2020 reported to be € 600 bn and UK £ 125 bn higher than pre-Covid-19 levels
  • Brexit in place
  • Only 4% of all CVA's in the UK to-date actually resulted in insolvency, indicating a higher than expected retailer recovery in the UK going forward

Asset Quality: Hotel Portfolio

Hotel portfolio well positioned to master Covid-19 crisis

  • Total portfolio revaluation close to 93%, thereof 100% of (Covid-19) affected portfolio
  • Overall LTV increase in the portfolio to 62% is lower than the range of 66-69% expected in Q3
  • Of the top 15 loans (all > € 150 mn) only 5 received liquidity lines
  • In 2020, only 34% of the total portfolio got liquidity lines for a total amount of € 129 mn (Q4: € 5.3 mn) and amortisation postponements of € 55 mn (Q4: € 6.5 mn)
  • Additional NPL volume of € 145 mn with LtV <100% and therefore very low LLP needs demonstrates solid portfolio quality
  • Stage 2 provisioning undertaken, reflecting corona measures affected portfolio (liquidity, waivers, etc., ~80% of total stage 2 provisions).

17 Note: All 2020 figures preliminary and unaudited

Asset Quality Hotels, what to expect going forward?

  • Trading performance expected to recover, as evidenced by countries that have largely reduced their Covid-19 related measures
  • Larger conventions are starting to induce booking pace
  • Hotels are benefitting of markedly reduced base- and volume costs of doing business
  • Little transaction volume is causing bid and ask pricing to narrow, putting upward pressure on asset pricing
  • After amortising existing relationships during Covid-19 restrictions, people will need to meet people again to renew and establish new relationships
  • Tourism already expected to be strong towards summer, evidenced by solid booking performances with increased overall prices in anticipation of travel restrictions easing

Asset Quality: Looking ahead

Where do we go from here?

Transparency

  • Retail overall with manageable risk and provisioning done, where appropriate. UK is one exception, not the rule
  • Hotel portfolio in line with expectations and marketable recovery expected going forward
  • Office portfolio without meaningful risk increase and performing well
  • Logistics most sought after asset class with good performance and a stellar development expected

Therefore, and as detailed within our 3600 -review

  • We will continue to support our clients with their existing engagements
  • We see good opportunities with attractive risk/return profiles to expand and support our client relationships by using our differentiating USPs
  • We will be able to grow our market share and interest income, laying the foundation for the future

May 2021.

Key Takeaways

Key takeaways

Review 2020: Pandemic-related high adverse impacts and robust operating development

  • Comprehensive provisioning for all currently visible Covid-19 risks
  • Growth potential exploited in all three segments and market position strengthened
  • Intention to reinstate dividend payment1) of € 1.50 in two steps

Outlook 2021: Declining risk provisioning and return to profitability

  • Economic growth strengthens in course of the year
  • Focus on capturing growth opportunities
  • Triple digit million Group operating profit expected

Strategy Update: Exploit growth opportunities and increase profitability

  • Developed focused growth strategies for all three segments
  • Accompanied by efficiency increase measures and optimization of capital and funding
  • Targeting increase in Group operating profit to approx. € 300 mn until 2023

1) The dividend payment of € 1.50 per share in 2021 for the financial year 2020 would need to be made in two steps. In compliance with the requirements published by the European Central Bank (ECB) on 15 December 2020, the current status of preparation of the financial statements indicates a distributable amount of € 0.40 per share. Subject to the preparation and audit of the financial statements, the Management Board plans to submit a corresponding proposal for the appropriation of profits to the ordinary Annual General Meeting in May 2021. Depending on the economic developments, the regulatory requirements, the capital position and the risk situation of the bank,

an extraordinary Annual General Meeting, which could possibly take place in the fourth quarter, could then decide on the intended remaining payout of € 1.10 per share.

Key facts

Key findings

▪ Well diversified by 236 hotels in 19 countries

The Aareal hotel portfolio is:

  • Well balanced in terms of brand and hotel category
  • Well backed by i.a. sound public companies, sovereign wealth funds and HNWI who have shown their financial commitment to the assets throughout this crisis
  • Conservatively leveraged with sufficient buffer for value decreases caused by the current crisis

  • Of the top 15 loans (all are loans above € 150 mn, of which 12 are portfolio financings), only 6 were provided with additional liquidity since March. Overall, 35% (~ € 3 bn) of our hotel exposure has received liquidity support since the beginning of the year.

  • The sum of all hotel loan support financed so far represents approximately 1.4% of the total hotel portfolio size.
  • 45% portfolio deals vs. 55% single assets deals (portfolio deals are all cross collateralised to the extend legally permissible)

Expectations and examples


Catch up effect for business related travel expected to be significant, as is pent up demand for
personal travel
Expectations
In the interim, people will learn to live and travel with Covid-19 and not against it

Final resolution with accepted treatment / vaccine

Currently, Resort Hotels and drive-to-destinations far better, while China is a possible projection
on how hotels will fare, as Covid-19 is under control

With our profound know-how and well-established network in hospitality industry, we are
expecting to apply our expertise and USPs to generate attractive risk / return through the cycle

Aareon anticipates pick up in digital solutions, steadfast on R&D spend

1) Adj. EBITDA excl. New Products/Inorganic and One-offs

  • Overall, Aareon expects an acceleration of digitization on the backdrop of Covid-19. In the wake of recent developments however, Aareon foresees restrictions to the Consulting business in 2021, yet less pronounced than in 2020
  • Over the last 12 months, Aareon's RPU amounted to ~ € 24, due to lower Consulting revenues and higher units through customer wins
  • Aareon spent ~22% of total software revenues for research and development (R&D) purposes, picking up in line with communicated temporary increase
