1) The allocation of earnings is based on the assumption that net interest payable on the AT1 bond is recognised on an accrual basis.

2) Structured Property Financing and Consulting/Services Bank (formerly: Bank division Housing Industry) segments, in line with the strategic development; the previous year's figure was adjusted accordingly.

3) On an annualised basis

4) "Other reserves" were included in equity, in line with the further development of segment reporting; the previous year's figure was adjusted accordingly.

  • 5) Excluding € 0.4 billion in private client business (31 December 2019: € 0.4 billion) and € 0.3 billion in local authority lending business by the former Westdeutsche Immobilien-Bank AG (WestImmo) (31 December 2019: € 0.4 billion)
  • 6) When calculating own funds as at 31 December 2019, annual profits for 2019 were taken into account, based on the proposal by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for appropriation of profits for the 2019 financial year, and incorporating the pro-rata accrual of net interest payable on the AT1 bond. Following a request issued by the European Central Bank, dated 27 March 2020, to refrain from paying out any dividends at least until 1 October 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and having conducted a detailed review, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting that no dividends be distributed for the 2019 financial year, as an exceptional measure to strengthen the Bank's capital base, and that net retained profit be transferred in full to other retained earnings. Accordingly, annual profits for 2019 were once again included for the purpose of determining regulatory capital as at 31 March 2020. The appropriation of profits is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting. When calculating own funds as at 31 March 2020, interim profits for 2020 were taken into account, deducting the pro-rata dividend in line with the dividend policy, and incorporating the pro-rata accrual of net interest payable on the AT1 bond. The expected relevant impact of the TRIM exercise on commercial property financings, and of the SREP recommendations concerning the NPL inventory as well as the ECB's NPL guidelines for exposures newly classified as NPLs, were taken into account for determining regulatory indicators. The CET1 ratio, as shown in Aareal Bank's regulatory report as at 31 March 2020, was 19.5%, reflecting the fact that on that date the Bank had not submitted an application for inclusion of profits to the ECB.
  • 7) Underlying estimate, given a 72.5% output floor based on the final Basel Committee framework dated 7 December 2017. The calculation of the material impact upon Aareal Bank is subject to the outstanding EU implementation as well as the implementation of additional regulatory requirements (CRR II, EBA requirements etc.).

8) Moody's Investors Service confirmed the issuer rating and bank deposit rating on 21 April 2020. At the same time, Moody's set the outlook for the issuer rating and bank deposit rating to "negative", given deterioration in the operating environment on account of the Covid-19 pandemic.

9) The ratings reported as at 31 December 2019 were published on 10 January 2020. In the context of the introduction of revised bank rating criteria, Fitch Ratings had set the outlook to "negative". On 27 March 2020 the rating was changed, as expected. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Fitch Ratings lowered its rating outlook to negative (RWN – Rating Watch Negative), also on 27 March 2020.

Business Development

Key Events and Transactions

As a result of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the efforts to combat it, considerable volatility and serious implications can currently be observed on the capital markets, but also in the overall economic environment.

Aareal Bank Group achieved a positive result, despite the increase in loss allowance associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and the usual full recognition of expenses for the bank levy and deposit protection schemes in the first quarter.

Aareal Bank Group had qualified its annual forecast published in the 2019 Annual Report, noting that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic cannot be reliably estimated and that it is thus impossible to anticipate the consequences for business and earnings development.

The severity of the pandemic's impact will depend upon when the expected recovery of the real economy will commence, and how quickly it will gain momentum. Aareal Bank Group assumes a continuous normalisation of global economic activity commencing from mid-2020, with a marked acceleration of the recovery during 2021.

Based on this assumption, from today's point of view, Aareal Bank Group considers a substantially positive consolidated operating profit to be achievable for the 2020 financial year as a whole. Naturally, in the current environment, this forecast is subject to significant uncertainty, especially with regard to the assumed duration and intensity of the crisis, the pace of recovery and the associated effects on our clients, as well as prevailing unclear regulatory and accounting provisions, and the possibility that individual loan defaults cannot be reliably predicted.

Besides the strategic measures and initiatives within the framework of "Aareal Next Level", Aareal Bank Group's focus for the further course of the 2020 financial year will remain on coping with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in the best way possible – together with its clients.

The crisis confirms the benefits of our business model's diversification, and of its strategic orientation. Our clients are affected by the crisis in very different ways. Our staff have been keeping up business activities without major restrictions.

In the Structured Property Financing segment, besides each client's individual circumstances, the type of property financed and the country where the property is located both play an important role: they are influenced to a differing degree by the restrictions and government support measures. The overall very moderate loan-to-value (LtV) ratios and the previous year's de-risking exercise have a positive effect on the Bank's situation. Should a client need to take action, our employees look for individual solutions which could include, for instance, the suspension of certain contractual agreements of a financing, or the deferral of individual principal and interest payments. We recognise these measures in our financial statements, taking the recommendations made by the IASB and by relevant regulatory authorities such as the EBA, the ECB and ESMA, into consideration. We have adjusted our processes accordingly.

At present, we pay particular attention to the economic forecasts, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Here too, we follow the recommendations of the ECB. Yet estimation uncertainties are currently much higher than usual, as the pandemic has provoked a situation unprecedented in recent history. Data and experience are therefore both lacking.

Loss allowance recognised significantly exceeded the amounts forecast, due to elevated uncertainty surrounding the deterioration in economic forecasts (as a consequence of Covid-19) and extended realisation periods for defaulted borrowers in this context. One newly-defaulted loan also contributed to the increase. At present, the Bank no longer expects to take any measures for further accelerated de-risking – or with a significantly reduced scope.

The amount of loss allowance to be recognised in accordance with the applicable accounting standards also depends upon government-imposed moratoria. However, such moratoria do not generally prevent a significant deterioration of a client's credit quality (stage 2) or the default of a borrower (stage 3): the impact of government moratoria is assessed on a case-by-case basis, as described above.

Business activities in the Consulting/Services Bank (formerly: Bank division Housing Industry) and Aareon segments have continued virtually unchanged to date. In isolated cases, there are delays in project launches and new product placements. Over the medium term, the Covid-19 pandemic will accelerate the digitalisation of processes and increase the demand for digital products.

In the first quarter of 2020, Aareal Bank decided not to exercise its option to call its € 300 million Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Notes on 30 April 2020. The decision reflects the Bank's strategy of evaluating all call decisions regarding securities, incorporating economic aspects alongside considerations of market conditions as well as the current and future regulatory value of the respective capital instruments. Accordingly, the AT1 Notes have been included in regulatory capital as at 31 December 2019, and as at 31 March 2020. Aareal Bank now has an annual right to call the AT1 Notes, with the next possible call date being 30 April 2021. Aareal Bank has serviced the AT1 Notes, in full, on the due date of 30 April 2020.

Following a request issued by the European Central Bank, dated 27 March 2020, to refrain from paying out any dividends at least until 1 October 2020, having conducted a detailed review, and diverging from the proposal for the appropriation of profits as published in the financial statements, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board resolved to propose to the Annual General Meeting that no dividends be distributed for the 2019 financial year, as an exceptional measure to strengthen the Bank's capital base, and that net retained profit be transferred in full to other retained earnings. Accordingly, annual profits for 2019 were once again included for the purpose of determining regulatory capital. The appropriation of profits is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting. The Management Board reserves the right to submit a new proposal for appropriation of profits to a potential additional General Meeting at a later point in time, when the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic can be assessed with more certainty, and provided that such proposal for appropriation of profits is feasible given the prevailing market situation.

Earnings per ordinary share (€) 2) 0.04 0.59
Earnings per AT1 unit (€) 3) 0.04 0.04

1) The allocation of earnings is based on the assumption that net interest payable on the AT1 bond is recognised on an accrual basis.

2) Earnings per ordinary share are determined by dividing the earnings allocated to ordinary shareholders of Aareal Bank AG by the weighted average of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year (59,857,221 shares). Basic earnings per ordinary share correspond to diluted earnings per ordinary share.

3) Earnings per AT1 unit (based on 100,000,000 AT1 units with a notional amount of € 3 each) are determined by dividing the earnings attributable to AT1 investors by the weighted average of AT1 units outstanding during the financial year. Earnings per AT1 unit (basic) correspond to (diluted) earnings per AT1 unit.

Consolidated operating profit for the first quarter of the financial year amounted to € 11 million, (Q1 2019: € 61 million), falling short of expectations due to the high level of loss allowance. As in the previous year, it also included the net annual contribution for the bank levy and deposit guarantee funds. Consolidated net income fell to € 7 million (Q1 2019: € 40 million).

Net interest income of € 123 million was down on the previous year (Q1 2019: € 135 million), mainly due to a year-on-year decline in the loan and securities portfolios, also as a result of the accelerated de-risking exercise in the previous year.

Loss allowance of € 58 million (Q1 2019: € 5 million) was recognised, largely due to the adverse economic effects related to the Covid-19 pandemic. This increase reflects elevated uncertainty surrounding the deterioration in economic forecasts (as a consequence of Covid-19) and extended realisation periods for defaulted borrowers in this context, as well as one newly-defaulted loan.

Net commission income increased as planned, to € 57 million (Q1 2019: € 53 million), mainly driven by Aareon's sales revenues of € 64 million (Q1 2019: € 59 million). Aareon's adjusted EBITDA1) of € 15 million (Q1 2019: € 14 million) was also in line with expectations.

The net derecognition gain of € 7 million (Q1 2019: € 16 million) largely resulted from market-driven effects of early loan repayments. The net figure for the current year was within our expectations, whilst the higher figure for the previous year reflected structural adjustments to our securities portfolio following the acquisition of former Düsseldorfer Hypothekenbank AG (Düsselhyp).

Net income from financial instruments (fvpl) and from hedge accounting, totalling € 11 million (Q1 2019: € 6 million) largely resulted from loan receivables syndicated, or earmarked for syndication (and derivatives under related economic hedges), as well as from changes in the measurement of other derivatives (fvpl) used for economic hedges of interest rate and currency risks.

The decline in administrative expenses, to € 129 million (Q1 2019: € 144 million), was more pronounced than planned, due to cost savings in connection with the Covid-19 crisis. The previous year's figure included running costs and Integration expenses incurred in conjunction with the integration of Düsselhyp.

Overall, consolidated operating profit for the quarter under review was € 11 million (Q1 2019: € 61 million). Taking into consideration tax expenses of € 4 million and non-controlling interest income of € 1 million, consolidated net income attributable to shareholders of Aareal Bank AG amounted to € 6 million (Q1 2019: € 39 million). Assuming the pro rata temporis accrual of net interest payments on the AT1 Notes, consolidated net income allocated to ordinary shareholders stood at € 2 million (Q1 2019: € 35 million). Earnings per ordinary share amounted to € 0.04 (Q1 2019: € 0.59), and RoE before taxes stood at 0.7 % (Q1 2019: 8.8 %).

Aareal Bank Group successfully raised € 0.2 billion through senior unsecured issues on the capital market during the first quarter of 2020.

Report on Changed Forecasts

Aareal Bank Group had qualified its annual forecast published in the 2019 Annual Report, noting that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic cannot be reliably estimated and that it is thus impossible to anticipate the consequences for business and earnings development.

Besides the strategic measures and initiatives within the framework of "Aareal Next Level", Aareal Bank Group's focus for the further course of the 2020 financial year will remain on coping with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in the best way possible – together with its clients. In this context, it will be crucial when the expected recovery of the real economy will commence, and how quickly it will gain momentum. Aareal Bank Group assumes a continuous normalisation of global economic activity commencing from mid-2020, with a marked acceleration of the recovery during 2021.

Based on this assumption, from today's point of view, Aareal Bank Group considers a substantially positive consolidated operating profit to be achievable for the 2020 financial year as a whole. Naturally, in the current environment, this forecast is subject to significant uncertainty, especially with regard to the assumed duration and intensity of the crisis, the pace of recovery and the associated effects on our clients, as well as prevailing unclear regulatory and accounting provisions, and the possibility that individual loan defaults cannot be reliably predicted.

There have been no material events subsequent to the end of the period under review that need to be disclosed at this point.

Segment Results

As explained in the Annual Report 2019, Aareal Bank's management system was revised in the course of the "Aareal Next Level" strategic development at the turn of the year. The previous Consulting/Services segment was split into the Consulting/Services Bank and Aareon segments, in order to sharpen the independent profiles of the individual business activities and to enhance transparency. The previous year's figures were adjusted accordingly. Whilst the structure of the existing Structured Property Financing segment remained unchanged in principle, two changes were necessary as part of the further developed management system. A review of our liquidity model conducted during the fourth quarter of 2019 showed that a higher share of deposits from the housing industry is available to the Bank for an extended period of time, as a replacement for unsecured placements on the capital markets. This resulted in lower unsecured funding requirements (and to a corresponding relief on income), as well as a change in intrasegment charges. A similar effect applies to the interest rate on residual deposits; this rate was also raised as part of modelling changes. In the current (as well as in the expected) interest rate environment, backing this residual interest rate using fixed-income assets gives rise to interest income as well as typing up RWAs; these effects have been allocated to the Consulting/Services Bank segment from the effective date of this change on 1 January 2020. For management purposes, the calculation of allocated equity was changed for all segments, applying the regulatory calculation method. Reported equity on the statement of financial position differs from this. Other reserves are now also included when calculating allocated equity at Group level. RoE before taxes is thus also changed accordingly. The previous year's figures were adjusted accordingly.
