At that time, the main shareholder with holdings of over 5% was Vonovia SE (15.88%) according to the official notifications received from the shareholders. The remaining 84.12% free float shares were mainly held by institutional investors.
On 15 October 2024, approximately 454.9 million voting securities (parts bénéficiaires) were issued to certain bond investors, thereby increasing the number of total voting rights to approximately 606.5 million (including the approximately 151.6m voting rights attached to the share capital).
Following the implementation of the proposed amendments pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, the Company is not permitted to declare or pay any dividends to shareholders for the year 2022 and thereafter.
If and as long as any of the subordinated notes issued by the Company's subsidiary AGPS BondCo PLC in the nominal amount of approximately EUR 2.3 billion under the Company's guarantee as part of its 2024 financial restructuring (the "Subordinated Notes") remain outstanding, and to the extent that any payments have been made in respect of the Subordinated Notes since the issuance thereof (the "Subordinated Notes Payments"), the Board of Directors may, when approving the annual financial statements of any given financial year recommend to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend be declared and paid in an amount equivalent to one thirty-ninth (1/39) of the total Subordinated Notes Payments.

Adler Group S.A. is a residential real estate company which – through its subsidiaries – holds and manages 17,908 rental units, primarily based in Berlin. This rental portfolio is valued at EUR 3.5 billion as per 31 March 2025. Besides the rental portfolio, Adler Group owns a portfolio of development projects in some of the larger cities in Germany valued at EUR 1.0 billion. In agreement with the bondholders under the terms of the Restructuring Plan, these development projects are to be sold – some sales processes have already begun, others are to be initiated.
Hence, the Adler Group's business model focuses on asset and portfolio management, property and facility management, aiming at improving operating results by increasing rents and decreasing vacancies in its existing portfolio. The portfolio shall be further optimised depending on opportunities or necessities.
Our 487 employees (as per 31 March 2025) are based in Luxembourg and in several locations across Germany in order to bring Adler Group as close as possible to assets and tenants.
Focus on active management of the portfolio to grow earnings and improve EBITDA margins.
Adler Group focuses on increasing rents through active asset management and targeted investments to modernise, refurbish and re-position properties, while constantly screening and anticipating developments in different sub-markets. In order to realise upside potential, Adler Group pursues regular rent increases up to the market levels within the regulatory and legal limits without CapEx investment. In addition, Adler Group continuously reviews rent potentials and pursues growth beyond the rent tables through targeted CapEx investments to modernise, refurbish and/or re-position properties. Vacancies are kept low through active marketing tailored to the respective micro-location.
As apartments are typically renovated to market standard after a tenant has moved out, Adler Group is in the position to rent vacant apartments to higher quality tenants and thus to continuously improve the tenant structure and average rent.
By disposing of non-core assets, Adler Group aims to streamline the rental portfolio and to focus on medium and large-size cities where a critical mass of assets can be managed thereby improving profitability and portfolio KPIs. Active capital recycling enables Adler Group to reduce leverage and ultimately to improve its capital structure.
Investing selected CapEx in refurbishment and modernisation measures in the existing portfolio will elevate the quality of the rental portfolio, improve energy efficiency in line with sustainability targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus add value overall.
The Company's corporate governance practices are governed by Luxembourg Law (particularly the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended) and the Company's articles of association. As a Luxembourg company with its shares admitted to trading on the regulated market (Prime Standrd) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the Company is not subject to any specific mandatory corporate governance rules. The corporate governance practices applied by the Company are those applied under general Luxembourg law.

(*) All values include ground floor commercial units and exclude units under renovation and development projects. (**)Annualised net rental income.
In addition to our financial performance indicators, we also use the following non-financial operating performance indicators.
The vacancy rate shows the ratio of m² of vacant units in our properties to total m². Vacancy rate is used as an indicator of the current letting performance.
The in-place rent per m² provides an insight into the average rental income from the rented properties. It serves as an indicator of the current letting performance.
The like-for-like rental growth is the change rate of the net rents generated by the like-for-like residential portfolio over the last 12 months.
The total amounts spent on maintenance and CapEx in relation to the total lettable area of the portfolio are further operational figures to ensure an appropriate level of investment in the real estate portfolio.
All of the above-described non-financial performance indicators are key drivers for the development of rental income.

(*) All values include ground floor commercial units and exclude units under renovation and development projects.
The average rent per m2 amounted to EUR 8.31 as at 31 March 2025, a slight increase compared to the previous period. The vacancy rate increased slightly to a still structurally low level of 2.0%.
(*) All values include ground floor commercial units and exclude units under renovation and development projects. (**) Last 12 months (LTM).
Like-for-like rental growth of the portfolio amounted to 1.9% over the last twelve months.
Adler Group's fully integrated active asset management is focused on rental growth and employs dedicated strategies to drive all relevant components. In units that require modernisation, Adler Group invests CapEx to improve quality to meet today's standards and regulations. Applying the relevant regulatory framework accurately and efficiently is key to successfully maximising rental growth for let units.

Adler Group has been exposed to a challenging situation that was partly self-inflicted and largely caused by external factors since the financial year 2022. The situation itself manifested in liquidity constraints, lack of financing capacities and dried real estate markets that made portfolio sales almost impossible. In order to cope with this situation, management decided to focus on always preserving enough liquidity as well as on net rental income as the main key performance indicators.
After the recapitalisation completed in September 2024, the Company decided to no longer report the EPRA NAV & NTA metrics as a result of the IFRS accounting treatment of the newly introduced perpetual notes, which would account these as equity. As such, in management's view, EPRA NAV & NTA do no longer reflect the intrinsic value of Adler Group correctly. The other financial performance indicators outlined below were not suspended but were followed with a much lower focus than usual. Consequently, we waive the explicit description of the financial performance indicators listed below.
NOI (net operating income) equals total revenue from the property portfolio less all reasonably necessary operating expenses. Aside from rent, a property might also generate revenue from parking and service fees. NOI is used to track the real estate portfolio's capability of generating income.
Adj. EBITDA from rental activities is an indicator of a company's financial performance and is calculated by deducting the overhead costs from NOI. It is used as a proxy to assess the recurring earnings potential of the letting business.
Adj. EBITDA Total can be derived by adding the net profit from project development activities to Adj. EBITDA from rental activities.
In addition, we present the NOI margin from rental activities – calculated as NOI divided by net rental income, as well as Adj. EBITDA margin from rental activities – calculated as Adj. EBITDA from rental activities divided by net rental income. These metrics are useful to analyse the operational efficiency at real estate portfolio level as well as at Company level.
1) Cost from rental activities is the aggregate amount of (a) Salaries and other expenses related to rental activities; (b) Net cost of utilities recharged; and (c) Property operations and maintenance, excluding one-off costs. Adjustments for one-off costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
2) Overhead costs from rental activities represent the "General and administrative expenses" from the profit or loss statement excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation relating to rental activities. Adjustments for oneoff costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective like impairment losses on trade receivables.
Income from rental activities
3) Other operational costs from development and privatisation sales is the aggregate amount of (a) Costs of real estate inventories disposed of; (b) Costs of property development; and (c) Costs of selling of trading property (condominiums) excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation. Adjustments for oneoff costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
4) Overhead costs from development and privatisation sales represent the "General and administrative expenses" from the profit or loss statement excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation excluding costs relating to rental activities. Adjustments for one-off costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
5) FFO 2 net interest expenses is equal to "Interest on other loans and borrowings", excluding day-1 fair value non-cash adjustment and interest capitalised for development projects, plus the nominal interest expense on bonds.
6) Other net financial costs is equal to the total "Net finance costs" from the profit and loss statement less "Net cash interest" as calculated in footnote 5) above.
7) Other expenses/income relates to adjustments for one-off costs which include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
8) Net income from at-equity valued investments from the profit and loss statement.
Starting with Adj. EBITDA from rental activities, we calculate the main performance figure in the sector, the FFO 1 (from rental activities). This KPI serves as an indicator of the sustained operational earnings power after cash interest expenses and current income taxes of our letting business.
Adj. EBITDA from rental activities
9) FFO 1 net interest expenses is equal to "Interest on other loans and borrowings" relating to rental activities, excluding day-1 fair value non-cash adjustment, plus the nominal interest expense on bonds.
10) Only current income taxes relating to rental activities.
11) Interest of minority shareholders in Adler's subsidiary Brack Capital Properties N.V. ("BCP") as Adler's share is only 62.78% as at 30 September 2024.
Starting from Adj. EBITDA Total, we calculate FFO 2 (incl.
disposal results and development activities). FFO 2 is
used to indicate the total operational earnings power.

12) Current income taxes as presented in the financial statements exclude the income tax relating to the disposal of the non-core portfolio.
The LTV is based on the current EPRA best practice recommendation guidelines, though the Perpetual Notes that were issued in September 2024 as part of the recapitalisation of the Company are not classified as Hybrids, i.e. debt because these instruments are accounted for as equity in the balance sheet according to IFRS. The LTV illustrates the relationship between net debt and total property value of a real estate company and thus evaluates the gearing of shareholder equity.
The methodology and illustrative LTV calculation as well as the information taken from the Adler Group balance sheet is depicted in the following table (the calculation of LTV as per 31 March 2025 can be found at the end of this section):

16) Net payables are equal to payables less receivables on the IFRS balance sheet if that number is positive.

17) Incorporating inventories at fair value and non-current assets held for sale. 18) This position is included in investment properties at fair value.
20) Net debt and total property value of joint ventures and associated companies are disregarded due to immateriality reasons.
21) Non-controlling interests were only adjusted for minority shareholders in Adler's former subsidiary Brack Capital Properties N.V. (BCP) or reasons of materiality, thus any other minority shareholders are not considered due to their insignificancy. After the disposal of BCP became effective on 3 January 2025, there is no such adjustment anymore.
22) Total column illustrates the combined values of the previous columns.
We believe that the alternative performance measures described in this section constitute the most important indicators for measuring the operating and financial performance of the Group's business.
We expect all of the above-described alternative performance measures to be useful for our investors when evaluating the Group's operating performance, the net value of the Group's property portfolio and the level of the Group's indebtedness.
Due to rounding, the figures reported in tables and cross-references may deviate from their exact values as calculated.
Compared to the prior year period, net rental income in 3M 2025 decreased due to the lack of rental income from (i) the subsidiary BCP that was sold at the beginning of January 2025 (c. EUR 12 million in 3M 2024) and (ii) the NRWbased "Cosmopolitan portfolio" that was sold as per the end of February 2025 (accounting for c. EUR 3 million monthly net rental income). The decrease was partly compensated by rent increases realised on the remaining assets.
The adjusted EBITDA from rental activities amounted to EUR 21 million, a decrease compared to the prior year period reflecting primarily the smaller portfolio size. The adjusted EBITDA Total was slightly negative as the development segment did not contribute material earnings in this quarter.
FFO 1 and FFO 2 were both negatively impacted by net interest expenses, although to a lesser extent than in the previous year as the amount of debt has decreased.

Investment properties remain almost unchanged due to the lack of larger disposals and no portfolio revaluation done in the first quarter 2025. Other non-current assets include other financial assets of EUR 98 million (mainly comprising loans against non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries), investments in financial instruments of EUR 64 million (mainly referring to the minority stakes in BCP and the NRW-based "Cosmopolitan portfolio"), right-of-use assets of EUR 26 million, property and equipment of EUR 13 million and restricted bank deposits of EUR 10 million. Inventories primarily include upfront sale projects and the land value of forward sale projects. Other current assets include other receivables (EUR 89 million), trade receivables (EUR 69 million) and restricted bank deposits (EUR 34 million). Non-current assets and liabilities held for sale reduced significantly following the completed disposals of BCP and the NRW-based "Cosmopolitan portfolio".
Interest-bearing debts include bonds, bank debt and the refinanced facilities as part of the recapitalisation completed in September 2024. Other liabilities include other current payables (EUR 153 million) including income tax payables of EUR 63 million, provisions (EUR 99 million), and trade payables (EUR 62 million). Non-controlling interests decreased by c. EUR 175 million primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of BCP in early January 2025.
As at 31 March 2025, the total interest-bearing nominal debts amounted to around EUR 3,839 million. The average interest rate on all outstanding debt was 6.4%, with a weighted average maturity of 3.9 years.

1. With effect on 3 January 2025, Adler Group concluded the first tranche of the two stage-closing mechanism by transferring its controlling share of 52.68% in its subsidiary Brack Capital Properties N.V. (BCP) to LEG Immobilien SE for a cash consideration of EUR 184 million. As a result, BCP was deconsolidated.
2. On 20 January 2025, Adler Group announced that it had procured binding commitments in the amount of c. EUR 0.7 billion for the refinancing of the 1.5L Notes issued by ADLER Financing S.à r.l., an orphan special purpose vehicle not related to Adler Group ("Financing SPV"), and a corresponding amendment of the 1.5L Facility between, inter alia, Adler Group and the Financing SPV ("Refinancing").
The amended 1.5L Facility will accrue payment-in-kind (PIK) interest at a rate of 10.00% per annum plus a 0.75% OID with a non-call protection in year one and a 1% call premium in year two (thereafter to be called at par). The reduction of the PIK interest from 14.00% reflects primarily an improved risk profile of Adler Group.
The former 1.5 Notes were divided into two series: (i) a EUR 556 million series, which accrues 14.00% PIK interest annually, and (ii) a EUR 116 million series, which accrues 4.25% PIK interest annually until 30 July 2025, after which it will convert into the EUR 556 million series and accrue interest at 14.00% PIK annually. Both were refinanced in parallel. The maturity date of the 1.5L Facility of 31 December 2029 remains unchanged. The Refinancing was completed on 18 February 2025.
3. On 28 January 2025 and 18 February 2025, the 1L and 1.5L Facilities were effectively refinanced. The outstanding loan amounts were increased, and the fixed interest rates were reduced. After the refinancing, the outstanding amount of the 1L Facility amounted to EUR 1,178 million, with an interest rate of 8.25% (compared to EUR 1,158 million outstanding amount and 12.5% interest rate before refinancing). After refinancing, the outstanding 1.5L Facility amounted to EUR 717 million, with an interest rate of 10% (compared to EUR 707.3 million outstanding amount and 14% interest rate before refinancing).
The new terms after refinancing are substantially different from the previous terms in accordance with IFRS 9. As a result, this leads to a derecognition of the existing liabilities and the recognition of a new liability at fair value.
4. In January 2025, a Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with a German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 345 million by more than three years until October 2028. Also in January 2025, a different Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with another German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 48 million by more than three years until October 2028.
5. On 10 February 2025, S&P revised their outlook on Adler Group and Adler RE to stable from negative and affirmed the B- issuer credit ratings as well as all of the existing issue ratings.
6. On 4 March 2025, Adler Group announced that it had completed the sale of 89.9% of its shares in the subsidiaries of the North Rhine-Westphalia-based "Cosmopolitan portfolio", to Orange Capital Partners and One Investment Management with effect from 28 February 2025. The transaction had been announced on 23 December 2024.
The Group has evaluated transactions or other events for consideration as subsequent events since the reporting date 31 March 2025 in the quarterly financial statements through 26 May 2025, the date of finalisation of the financial statements.
1. On 14 April 2025, the remaining 10.10% of the share capital held in BCP were effectively transferred to the buyer LEG Immobilien SE, following a tender of Adler Group's shares in a Public Offer under Israeli Law, at a price of EUR 45.00 per share.
2. On 26 April 2025, the sale of the Consus-owned development project CologneApart to Cosimo Investment Group was completed.
3. On 19 May 2025, Adler Group announced that its subsidiary ADLER Real Estate GmbH launched a cash tender offer to repurchase its outstanding EUR 300 million secured notes due on 27 April 2026. Noteholders of these notes representing approximately 80% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes committed to tender their notes in the tender offer. The tender offer period started on 19 May 2025 and will expire on 16 June 2025.
Additional information can be found on the Adler Group website: https://www.adler-group.com/en/investors/ publications/news.
Following certain disposals made from the yielding asset portfolio, such as the stake in Brack Capital Properties N.V. (BCP) with effect of 3 January 2025 and the North-Rhine-Westphalia portfolio with effect of 28 February 2025, Adler Group expects to generate net rental income for 2025 in the range of EUR 127-135 million.
Following the sanctioning of the Restructuring Plan in April 2023, the Company refrained from announcing an FFO 1 guidance for the year 2023 and thereafter due to the current situation of the Group which is primarily focused on steering its liquidity situation and de-leveraging through asset and portfolio disposals.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the Condensed Interim Financial Statements of Adler Group S.A. presented in these Q1 2025 Quarterly Financial Statements, prepared in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial and earnings position of the Company, and that the Interim Management Report includes a fair review of the development of the business and describes the main opportunities, risks, and uncertainties associated with the Company for the remaining nine months of the year.
