Results of operations

To present the results of operations, some items in the income statement are combined into the following items:

  • → Cost of materials, changes in inventories and non recurring expenses related to the valuation of inventories are covered by the Project costs item.
  • → The Gross profit item is the balance of revenue and project costs.
  • → Other operating income, staff costs as well as other operating expenses and depreciation and amortisation are summarised under the heading Platform costs.
  • → The consolidated earnings from operating activities and share of results of joint ventures form earnings before interest and tax (EBIT).

The results of operations show all income as positive and all expenses as negative.

From the results of operations, the following adjustments are made to the adjusted results of operations, which are relevant from the point of view of the Management of the Instone Group:

As part of the adjusted results of operations of the Instone Group, revenue recognition will continue to reflect share deals and asset deals in the same way and similarly in accordance with IFRS 15, irrespective of a decision by the IFRS IC to exempt share deals from revenue recognition over time under IFRS 15.

Adjusted earnings after tax are intended to reflect the sustained profitability and are therefore adjusted for non recurring effects relating to other periods. In particular, the following significant expenses are adjusted for disposal losses from sales of tangible or financial assets or securities, unscheduled depreciation and amortisation of tangible and financial assets, non recurring expenses relating to the valuation of inventories, costs for company acquisitions, merger losses, contractual penalties, demands for additional taxes from previous years (e.g. based on audits), severance payments to the Management Board, and personnel reductions and restructuring to a greater extent, if these do not meet the strict criteria set out in IAS 37. The adjustment of material income includes, in particular, income from capital gains arising from sales of non-current assets, compensation for damages, writeups on non-current assets, refunds of taxes from previous years based on audits, reversals of provisions for extraordinary events and merger gains.

Other information

The ongoing effects from purchase price allocations following the expansion of the scope of consolidation in previous years have also been eliminated in the adjusted results of operations.

The calculation of the individual adjusted items results from the following items in the income statement and the above-mentioned consolidated items:

  • → Adjusted revenue is revenue adjusted for the effects from purchase price allocations, also taking into account effects from share deals.
  • → The adjusted project costs include the project costs adjusted for the effects from purchase price allocations, the effects from share deals, material cost-induced other operating income (income opposed by a directly attributable item in cost of materials), indirect selling expenses and capitalised interest. They thus reflect the external costs allocated to the project developments.
  • → Adjusted gross profit is the result of adjusted revenue less adjusted project costs.
  • → Adjusted platform costs are the platform costs less other operating income after subtracting the cost of materials and indirect sales expenses allocated to project costs and adjusted for non recurring effects.
  • → The adjusted share of results of joint ventures are the pro rata earnings contributions from associated company and joint venture companies which are included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
  • → Adjusted earnings before interest and tax are the adjusted gross profit reduced by the adjusted platform costs, plus the earnings of companies consolidated at equity.
  • → The adjusted financial result and result from investments comprise the total of other results from investments, finance income, finance costs, and depreciation and amortisation on securities classified as financial assets less capitalised interest.

Revenue

Adjusted revenue in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to €119.5 million, (previous-year period: €123.5 million), around -3.2 % below the previous year's figure. The decline in sales is mainly due to a reduction in construction services compared to the previous-year period.

The adjustment of effects from purchase price allocations slightly increased the adjusted revenue by €1.0 million (previous-year period: €0.7 million). The separate valuation of share deals ("Westville" project) increased the adjusted revenue by €15.9 million (previous-year period: €16.1 million).

Project costs

The adjusted project costs, essentially consisting of the cost of materials and the changes in inventories, also fell in the reporting period to €-86.9 million (previous-year period: €-89.7 million). The lack of land purchases and the reduced construction activity compared to the same period of the previous-year period led to a reduction in the cost of materials to €-85.1 million (previous-year period: €-138.2 million). The decrease in inventories to €9.8 million (previous-year period: €62.7 million) reflects, on the one hand, the lower volume of land purchases compared to the same period of the previous year and, on the other hand, the increased volume of sales contracts in the reporting period.

Indirect sales expenses in the amount of €-0.2 million (previous-year period: 0.5 million) and material cost-related other operating income of €3.2 million (previous-year period: €2.8 million), of which €2.8 million from grants, were allocated to adjusted project costs in the first quarter of 2024. The adjustment of the capitalised interest in the changes in inventories of €-2.6 million (previous-year period: €-2.6 million) was added to the adjusted project costs. Effects from the amortisation of purchase price allocations reduced adjusted project costs by €2.3 million (previous-year period: €0.3 million). Due to the separate valuation of share deals, adjusted project costs again increased by €-14.4 million (previous-year period: €-15.2 million).

The adjusted gross profit margin – calculated from the adjusted gross profit relating to the adjusted revenue – amounted to 27.4 % in the reporting period (previous-year period: 27.4 %). In the following quarters, we expect a decrease in the gross profit margin overall based on the mix of projects.

Platform costs

Adjusted platform costs improved to €-17.7 million compared to the previous-year period (previous-year period: €-19.3 million). In terms of costs, the measures introduced to increase efficiency contributed to a reduction in platform costs. We continue to focus on reducing the ongoing annualised platform costs to around €70 million. In the reporting period, indirect sales costs of €0.2 million and material cost-related other operating income in the amount of €3.2 million were reclassified as project costs and other non recurring effects were adjusted in the amount of €0.2 million.

+ effects from reclassifications -3.0 -3.2 -6.3
+ non recurring effects 0.2 0.6 -66.7
Platform costs adjusted -17.7 -19.3 -8.3

Reported staff costs in the first quarter of 2024 of €-12.3 million (previous-year period: €-13.6 million) was a year-on-year decrease of around 10 %. The structural reorganisation measures from the previous year have a positive impact on this.

The reported other operating income, at €4.9 million (previous-year period: €3.7 million) was slightly above that of the previous-year period. This included material cost-related other operating income after subtracting the cost of materials of €3.2 million (previous-year period: €2.8 million), which were reclassified as project costs. Included in this in particular is income from the realisation of grants of €2.8 million (previous-year period: €13.4 million). In addition, income was realised from the reversal of provisions and project-related liabilities released and other liabilities in the amount of €1.7 million (previous-year period: €0.6 million).

The reported other operating expenses increased to €-6.3 million in the reporting period (previous-year period: €-5.6 million). Other operating expenses mainly include costs for warranties, consulting expenses, sales costs, IT costs and court costs, solicitors' and notaries' fees.

The reported depreciation and amortisation was €-1.2 million (previous-year period: €-1.3 million), a slight decrease compared with the previous year.

Share of results of joint ventures

The adjusted results from joint ventures of €0.9 million (previous-year period: €1.3 million) during the financial year was mainly attributable to construction activities and the sale of the Berlin joint venture Friedenauer Höhe, and reflects the expected development of this project.

Investment and financial result

As in the previous year, there was no materially adjusted income from investments in the first quarter of 2024.

The reported financial result of €-5.7 million (previous-year period: €-5.9 million) was virtually unchanged.

The adjusted financial result of €-3.2 million (previous-year period: €-3.4 million), is on par with last year's level. Capitalised interest from project financing before the start of sales in the amount of €2.5 million (previous-year period: €2.5 million) were reclassified as project costs.

Earnings before tax (EBT)

Adjusted earnings before tax slightly increased to €12.6 million compared to the previous-year's quarter (previous-year period: €12.4 million).

Income taxes

The tax rate in the adjusted results of operations in the first quarter of 2024 was 24.4 % (previous-year period: 31.3 %). The significant decline in the tax rate is the result of our assessment of the planned tax rate for the 2024 financial year as of the reporting date. Due to an expected high earnings contribution from projects that will be realised in joint ventures as well as projects sold in the form of a share deal, we expect a significantly lower Group tax rate in the 2024 financial year, as these results are only subject to corporation tax.

Due to the effects mentioned above, income taxes in the reported earnings amounted to an expense of €2.1 million (previous-year period: €3.5 million).

Equity and liabilities 1,829.4 1,839.6 -0.6

As at 31 March 2024, the Instone Group's total assets fell to €1,829.4 million (31 December 2023: €1,839.6 million). Despite the increase in contract assets and inventories, this is due in particular to the decrease in other current assets and cash and cash equivalents.

As at 31 March 2024, inventories rose to €1,095.7 million (31 December 2023: €1,085.8 million). This increase in inventories is mainly due to the construction progress of the unsold projects that are currently being realised.

As at 31 March 2024, acquisition costs and incidental acquisition costs for land amounting to €680.9 million (31 December 2023: €694.3 million) were included in inventories.

Receivables from customers for work-in-progress (gross contract assets) already sold and valued at the current completion level of development rose to €700.0 million as at 31 March 2024 (31 December 2023: €603.2 million), partly due to the progress made in realising the project shares sold and partly due to the increased volume of sales contracts. Payments received from customers amounted to €-514.2 million as at 31 March 2024 (31 December 2023: €-430.1 million).

Trade receivables in the reporting period decreased to €4.3 million (31 December 2023: €6.5 million). The receivables essentially include withholdings in connection with the transfer of projects.

The shares accounted for using the equity method, which mainly include investments in project companies, rose in the first quarter of 2024 from €51.7 million to €52.9 million due to the sale and construction progress of project developments in joint ventures.

The non-current financial receivables amounting to €5.0 million (31 December 2023: €10.3 million) include borrowings from joint ventures and have decreased due to repayments.

Other information

The current financial receivables amounting to €23.6 million (31 December 2023: €23.3 million) mainly relate to a loan to a joint venture.

Other current receivables and other assets decreased from €74.6 million to €69.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. A considerable share of these items consists largely of approved public grants of €51.6 million (31 December 2023: €51.6 million) for the construction of buildings, including subsidy of the KfW efficiency programme. Prepayments on land for which the transfer of benefits and encumbrances takes place after the balance sheet date remained unchanged at €14.1 million in the reporting period due to a lack of new investment (31 December 2023: €14.1 million).

Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits of €360.6 million (31 December 2023: €383.6 million) were reduced mainly due to the continuous payments to suppliers and contractors for the construction activities of ongoing project developments. This includes cash and cash equivalents from development loans taken out for customers in the amount of €115.9 million (31 December 2023: €115.9 million). For more information, please refer to the Group's consolidated statement of cash flows, page 31.

Non-current financial liabilities were reduced to €381.8 million as at 31 March 2024 (31 December 2023: €396.6 million). In the same period, current financial liabilities rose to €160.7 million (31 December 2023: €136.1 million). The total increase in financial liabilities is due to an increased net borrowing of financial loans in the reporting period.

The other non-current liabilities amounting to €37.3 million (31 December 2023: €37.8 million) are completely related to interest and repayment subsidy in connection with subsidised loans. Trade payables fell during the first quarter of 2024 to €123.7 million (31 December 2023: €142.2 million) and mainly included the services provided by contractors. The fall corresponds to the decrease in output in the reporting period and is also related to the reporting date.

Other current liabilities of €431.2 million (31 December 2023: €431.9 million) including mainly advance payments received for the "Westville" project in the amount of €384.6 million (31 December 2023: €383.5 million). The fall in liabilities from government grants in the amount of €29.6 million (31 December 2023: €32.4 million) corresponds to the construction of the corresponding projects.

The equity ratio as at 31 March 2024 was 31.8 % (31 December 2023: 31.3 %).

As at 31 March 2024, the Company held 3,665,761 treasury shares. This corresponds to a share of 7.8 % of the shares. As at 31 March 2024, the number of shares adjusted for the Company's treasury shares was 43,322,575 shares.

The leverage (excluding the promotional loans for the "Westville" project) increased slightly compared to the previous year's figure. It is at a historically low level. The increased net debt together with the decline in cash and cash equivalents increased the leverage slightly to 2.4 times the adjusted EBITDA. The ratio of net debt to balance sheet inventories, contract assets and contract liabilities improved to 17.3 % (31 December 2023: 15.1 %).

The cash flow from ongoing Instone Group operations of €-27.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 (previous-year period: €74.7 million) was essentially due to the payment flows combined with the reduction of liabilities to contractors for ongoing projects with simultaneous purchase price payments and transfer taxes for land totalling €0.7 million (previousyear period: €5.6 million). In addition, income tax payments amounting to €3.4 million were made in the reporting period (previous-year period: €1.3 million).

The operating cash flow, adjusted for payments for land, in the period under review has improved with €-27.0 million (previous-year period: €-69.1 million) compared with the previous-year period.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to €4.8 million in the reporting period (previous-year period: €0.9 million). This mainly resulted from scheduled repayments of loans recognised in financial assets.

The cash flow from financing activities as at 31 March 2024 stood at €-0.1 million (previous-year period: €-21.6 million). This mainly consisted of net opening of new lines of credit in the amount of €8.7 million, consisting of payments received from new finance facilities in the amount of €12.8 million and repayments for terminated finance facilities in the amount of €4.0 million. In the reporting period, payments for interest amounting to €7.7 million (previous-year period: €3.1 million) were included in the cash flow from financing activities.

1 Volume of sales contracts reflects the revenue-relevant (adjusted) volume of contracts of our projects. It mainly comprises all sales-related transactions, such as notarised real estate purchase agreements, individual orders from clients and rental income.

Volume of sales contracts is also referred to as sales volume.

The sales level of unit sales in the last quarter of 2023 (Q4 2023: €43 million/90 units), which was positively influenced by two sales launches at the time, could not be fully confirmed in the first quarter of 2024. However, the sales volume in the first three months of 2024, at €26 million and 47 units, was significantly higher than in the same period of the previous year (Q1 2023: €6 million/11 units).

In addition, the "4Living" project in Erlangen was successfully sold in the first quarter of 2024. Four apartment blocks with over 160 residential units in accordance with KfW 55 RE house efficiency standard are being built on a plot of around 9,300 m², 95 of which are subsidised on an income basis (EOF). The energy supply is 100 % fossilfree thanks to a biomass heating system.

In addition to further increases in revenues from projects already sold, the volume of sales contracts of our institutional projects in the first quarter of the current financial year amounts to around €62 million and 166 units.

In the first three months of 2024, this means that a total sales volume of €88.0 million with 213 sales units was achieved. Based on the sales value of the first quarter of 2023 (Q1 2023: €52.7 million/110 units), this represents an increase of around 67 %. In a first step, this confirms the assumption made in the 2023 Annual Report to revive sales activities in 2024.

The realised volume of sales contracts of around 98 % as at 31 March 2024 was focused on the most important metropolitan regions of Germany. 2 % is attributable to other attractive, medium-sized cities.

The portfolio value as at the reporting date is the anticipated overall volume of revenue from all projects listed in the project portfolio. The Instone Group divides its project portfolio into three different groups depending on the stage of development: For projects with the status "pre-sale", the land has been already purchased, secured or claimed by us in a binding offer, but marketing has not yet begun. Following sales release and the initiation of marketing, projects are transferred to a "pre-construction" status. Projects with a completed start of construction have an "under construction" status until complete handover. Projects are removed from the portfolio the reporting month after all construction obligations have been fulfilled, the project has been sold (except when selling units individually, then once the percentage of units left to be sold is less than 2 %) and handover is complete.

The offer for sale of our individual sales projects on the market as at 31 March 2024 includes 537 units with an expected revenue volume of €320 million. The reduction in the sales offer compared to the 2023 endyear value (584 units and €345 million) is due to the sale of a total of 47 unit sales units in the reporting period.

As at 31 March 2024, the Instone Group's project portfolio comprised 45 projects, from which we currently anticipate a total volume of sales contracts of €6,885.8 million, representing a decrease from that of 31 December 2023 (€6,972.0 million). This reduction is mainly due to a general management reserve for any negative market developments in sales and construction prices.

The Instone Group continued to deliberately pursue its strategic approach from the 2022 and 2023 financial years of extremely selective investment activity in the first quarter of 2024. For example, no new investment approvals were granted in the reporting period and therefore no new property purchase agreements were concluded. We also expect attractive acquisition opportunities for projects of competitors with weaker financial resources in the changed interest rate and financing environment. The exploitation of these opportunities is expected to lead to significant investment activity on our part in the near to medium-term. The Instone Group is already in the process of reviewing concrete offers, with initial decisions on these expected soon. There were no project completions in the reporting period.

We have already realised adjusted revenues of €2,140.7 million from the current project portfolio, of which around €819.8 million has already been handed over.

As at 31 March 2024, the forecast gross profit margin on the project portfolio, excluding the "Westville" project in Frankfurt am Main, is around 23.6 %.1 The aforementioned management reserve has also had an impact on the earnings calculation, meaning that the project gross profit margin on the project portfolio has decreased compared to the previous year's final figure (31 December 2023: 24.6 % excluding the "Westville" project).

Project portfolio by group, 31/03/2024 Basis: Sale proceeds

FIGURE 005

Given our project portfolio's continued growth up to 2022, the conscious decision to take an extremely selective approach to starting sales in the current macroeconomic environment and the on-going completion of sold projects, most of our current projects are in the "pre-sale" development stage.

All of these categories are at a comparable level to the previous year's level (31 December 2023: 56.3 % pre-sale/42 % under construction/1.8 % pre-construction).

In addition, the preceding diagram shows that, as at 31 March 2024 we had already sold approximately 40 % of the anticipated overall revenue volume of the project portfolio. In terms of the anticipated revenue volume from "under construction" and "pre-construction" projects, approximately 89 % of projects had been sold as at 31 March 2024.

The 45 projects from the Instone Group's project portfolio (as shown in figure 004 ) will be supplemented by four further projects which will be realised in joint ventures. Overall, a total volume of sales of around €1.3 billion (Instone Group share approx. €630 million) and the development of approximately 2,100 residential units was expected for these projects consolidated using the equity method.

Internal sector: Sold Unsold

In the reporting period, we achieved adjusted revenue of €119.5 million (previous year: €123.5 million). The following projects contributed significantly to the adjusted revenue:

"Schönhof-Viertel" Frankfurt a. M. 31.6

"Wiesbaden-Delkenheim" Wiesbaden 6.0
"west.side" Bonn 4.5
"Parkresidenz" Leipzig 4.5
"Augusta und Luca" Augsburg 3.5

The building blocks of success for realising the adjusted revenues were steady marketing progress and a further development process in the structural implementation of our projects. For this reason, in addition to the marketing progress achieved, progress in the projects under construction, in particular, have contributed to the generation of revenue.

In the reporting period, a sub-project of the "Parkresidenz" with a total of 16 units was able to start construction work. A total of 4,847 units are currently in the construction phase at the same time.

The transfers in the first quarter of 2024 include a volume of around €32 million for 88 successfully transferred units. A further sub-project of the Parkresidenz", with 62 successfully transferred residential units, played a key role in this.

All developments in what is a challenging market environment were monitored closely in terms of our projects and compensated for as far as possible by making the appropriate adjustments to the relevant processes.

The completed projects of the Instone Group's project portfolio continue to have a high sales ratio of about 95 %.

Our forecast for business development for 2024, which we announced with the publication of the 2023 annual report in March 2024, continues to be confirmed.

The Management Board now expects the financial and operating performance indicators to develop as follows:

Forecast TABLE 022
In millions of euros
2024
Adjusted revenue 500–600
Adjusted gross profit margin ~ 22 %
Adjusted earnings after tax 30–40
Volume of sales contracts > 300

The forecast is based, among other things, on a historically lower speed of sales of our unit sales projects and a sustained reluctance on the part of institutional investors as a result of the significant rise in interest rates.

Basis of the quarterly statement

For the quarterly statement as at 31 March 2024, the accounting policies applied when preparing the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023 were generally adopted without change.

The consolidated financial statements for the Instone Group as at 31 December 2023 were prepared on the reporting date on the basis of section 315e(1) HGB in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the related Interpretations (IFRIC) of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as they apply in accordance with Regulation No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the application of international accounting standards in the European Union.

The quarterly statement is prepared in euros, which is the functional currency and the reporting currency of the Group. All amounts are expressed in thousands of euros (€ thousand) unless stated otherwise. Commercial rounding may lead to immaterial rounding differences in the totals.

Forward-looking statements

This quarterly statement contains forward-looking statements that are based on current management plans, goals and forecasts. However, these statements relate only to findings that are available as at the date this quarterly statement was prepared. Management does not guarantee that these forward-looking statements will necessarily materialise. Actual future development and the results actually achieved are subject to various risks and can therefore deviate significantly from the forward-looking statements. Several risk factors cannot be influenced by the Instone Group and therefore cannot be conclusively assessed in advance. These include changes in the economic and competitive environment, legislation, fluctuations in interest or exchange rates, legal disputes and investigative proceedings and the availability of financial resources. These and other risks are listed in the 2023 consolidated report, which includes a summary of the management report, as well as in this quarterly statement. Furthermore, business development and economic results may also be encumbered by other factors. Following publication of this quarterly statement, there is no intention to in any way update the forward-looking statements made herein or to adjust them to events and developments.

Rounding of figures

Some figures disclosed in this quarterly statement have been commercially rounded. As a result, there may be minor deviations between figures in tables and their respective analyses in the body of the text of the quarterly statement, as well as between totals of individual amounts in tables and the total values similarly provided in the text. All key performance indicators and percentage changes are calculated on the basis of the underlying data and shown in the unit "thousands of euros".
