Price development: yield expansion partly offset by continued dynamic rent growth
Price discovery - yields approaching mean levels ${ }^{1}$
New-build rent development - Strong momentum persists ${ }^{2}$
- The impact of yield expansion due to higher rates is mitigated by accelerating rent growth ${ }^{1}$
- Historically stable yields for good quality residential assets
- Beginning of price stabilisation implies that yields may rise somewhat further, driven by rental growth, towards the long-term mean of $4 \%$
- Subsidy schemes for affordable housing support stabilisation at comparatively low yields

New-build rents rise faster than existing rents...In a year-on-year comparison, average asking rents in the metropolitan areas increased by 10.6 per cent

1) Lower construction output, in line with expectations - bulk of revenues is based on pre-sold units
2) High gross margin reflects quality of projects and cost control with inhouse construction management; expected lower gross margin for FY-2024e based on project mix
3) Platform costs are largely in line with annualised target of around $€ 70 \mathrm{~m}$ (some higher costs for one-time LTIP provisions due to higher share price)
4) JV result reflects positive contribution of Berlin JV
5) Improved financial result mainly due to lower net debt
6 Lower tax rate of c. $24 \%$ in FY-2024 expected mainly due to higher expected share of earnings from JV leading to stable EAT margins of $8 \%$, in line with expectations

Project portfolio development (GDV)
In $€$ bn
Expected future cash flows suggest significant upside?
Fundamental Instone value rests on three distinct pillars
(1) Pre-sold projects
- c. $€ 2.9$ bn currently under construction
- t/o c. $€ 2.7$ bn pre-sold ( $90 \%$ )
- In addition c. $€ 180 \mathrm{~m}$ pre-construction already pre-sold
$\rightarrow$ Tangible and substantially de-risked cash-flow profile
(2) Land bank - Residual unsold and paid land bank recognised at cost² of $€ 450 \mathrm{~m}$
$\rightarrow$ Substantial incremental value
(3) Future potential - Ability to source new projects
- Highly attractive opportunities likely to materialise within 12-24 months
- Additional income streams from various strategic initiatives

Note: Semi-filled circle means that the milestone has already been achieved for sections of the project (land plot acquisition, start of sales or construction). Concerning the building rights the semi-filled circle means that the zoning process has been initiated. No circle for "land plot acquired" means that the land has not yet been purchased but secured by contract
Favourable regulatory framework leading to attractive cash flow profile
Private Customer's Payment Profile for German residential development projects
German regulatory framework for customer payments compared to other European markets
- De risked: B2C development process per se low-risk via regulatory framework ("MaBV")'
- Certainty: No cancellation possibilities
- Capital-light: Predefined payment schedule limiting equity requirement from Instone
- Very favourable payment schedules vs. other European countries, particularly UK, Ireland and Spain
Funding requirements minimized due to high pre-sales levels
Illustrative cumulative financing profile of a typical B2C Instone project
- Debt financing land c.50\% (with zoning c.75\%)
- Debt financing construction up to c.80\%
- Revenue recognition: GDV $x$ Sales Progress (\%) x Construction Progress (\%)
