2 Overview

* Continuing operations.






The capital markets continue to be mainly influenced by the outlook for the macroeconomic environment and thus, in particular, the interest rate trend. To date, the expectation of imminent interest-rate cuts in the USA and Europe which was prevalent in the fourth quarter of 2023 has not been borne out. At the same time, the market has further postponed the expected timing of initial interest rate cuts. As things currently stand, the ECB is generally expected to implement its first key interest-rate cut in June. Most capital market players now anticipate that an initial cut from the Fed will follow at a later moment in time. Moreover, a number of market observers expect that the Fed will not make any changes at all in 2024. The evolving view of the interest rate landscape is likely to remain a key factor driving market developments.
In the first three months of 2024, the German Stock Index (DAX 40) achieved a positive performance of +10.4% and reached a new all-time high of 18,513.83 points. Various indices have also realized strong gains in the USA. On the one hand, this has been driven by the high level of demand for tech stocks. On the other, the U.S. economy has on the whole delivered a more robust performance than had been generally expected.
The European real estate sector declined by -3.5% in the first three months of the year. This is likely primarily attributable to the dampening of expectations of imminent interest rate cuts by comparison with the fourth quarter of 2023.
At the end of the first quarter, shares in Vonovia were trading at € 27.40 and were thus down 4.0% on the closing price for 2023. In our view, the interest rate situation is once again the key factor here.
As a result, we are still observing an ever-wider gap between capital market expectations on the one hand, and what remains a very attractive market situation for residential real estate on the other. The residential property markets in which we operate are characterized by a high level of excess demand. Moreover, real estate value adjustments contrast with rising rents and a significant supply shortage.
As a result, we remain confident that the fundamental conditions in our markets will ensure positive development in the long run. Besides the favorable relationship (from an owner's point of view) between supply and demand in urban regions, the relevant factors here include, above all, structural momentum on the revenue side as well as support from the key megatrends.
Vonovia's market capitalization amounted to around € 22.3 billion as of March 31, 2024.


The following chart shows the company's shareholdings based on the data it collects itself and/or based on the voting rights pursuant to Sections 33 and 34 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) as notified by the shareholders in relation to the current share capital.

Based on the German stock exchange's definition of free float, only the interest held by Norges Bank (Ministry of Finance on behalf of Norway) does not count toward the free float. This means that 85.1% of Vonovia's shares were in free float on March 31, 2024. The underlying voting rights notifications and corresponding financial instruments reported by shareholders or other instruments pursuant to Sections 38 and 39 WpHG can be found online.
In line with Vonovia's long-term strategic focus, we believe that the majority of its investors also have a long-term focus. The company's investors include pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and international asset managers in particular. There are also private shareholders, although they only represent a small proportion of the total capital (9.5%).
Vonovia SE is committed to a transparent, ongoing dialogue with its shareholders and potential investors. We continued with our roadshows and meetings in the first three months of the 2024 fiscal year, in the form of virtual and face-to-face events. We took part in a total of seven investor conferences and organized ten roadshow days.
In addition, numerous one-on-one meetings, video conferences and conference calls were held with investors and analysts to keep them informed of current developments and special issues. Interest rates and capital structurerelated topics dominated conversation in the first three months of 2024.
We will continue to communicate openly with the capital market. Various roadshows, conferences and participation in investor forums have already been planned. Information can be found in the Financial Calendar on our Investor Relations website.
As of March 31, 2024, 25 international analysts were publishing research studies on Vonovia. The average target share price was € 32.20. Of these analysts, 72% issued a "buy" recommendation, with 16% issuing a "hold" recommendation and 12% a "sell" recommendation.

* TERP-adjusted.
The core Rental business has got off to a successful start in the 2024 fiscal year. This was mainly based on a high level of demand for rental apartments and a positive rent trend. With a vacancy rate of 2.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2024 (end of the first quarter of 2023: 2.2%), Vonovia's residential real estate portfolio was virtually fully occupied.
To date, the overall conditions for the other operating segments are virtually unchanged in the first quarter of 2024 by comparison with the past fiscal year. The interest rate level is continuing to hamper potential transactions in the Recurring Sales and Development segments.
In the first quarter of 2024, the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) was 0.6 percentage points below the value seen in the previous year. The level of customer satisfaction has increased by 0.1 percentage points by comparison with the average for the year 2023 as a whole.
On January 18, 2024, Vonovia issued a bond on the UK financial market for the first time. This unsecured bond has a 5.5% coupon (4.55% after currency hedging) and a twelveyear term. It has a volume of GBP 400 million (approx. € 465.1 million).
Vonovia successfully placed a further unsecured bond with a volume of CHF 150 million (approx. € 159.3 million) on February 14, 2024. This bond has a term expiring in 2029 and a 2.565% coupon (4.16% after currency hedging).
With these two bonds, Vonovia has opened up additional financial markets and access to potential debt investors, while at the same time exploiting arbitrage advantages.
Following the end of the first quarter, on April 10, 2024 Vonovia issued an unsecured social bond with a 4.25% coupon rate and a ten-year term. It had a volume of
€ 850 million. This bond's terms are consistent with the Sustainable Finance Framework which the company defined in February 2022.
In addition, in early April Vonovia repaid a two-year social bond with a volume of SEK 500 million (approx. € 50 million) in Sweden.
On April 8, 2024, a € 336.1 million bond was repaid as scheduled.
With regards to Vonovia's efforts to sell off its Care segment, in mid-April it successfully concluded sales contracts for three properties. It continues to expect to complete the sale of its Care segment by December 31, 2024.
As part of Vonovia's efforts to sell off a portfolio in Berlin, a notarized sales contract was successfully concluded on April 23, 2024. Two companies with around 4,500 residential units and a real estate value of approx. € 700.0 million will be disposed of within the scope of this transaction. The transaction is expected to be closed on December 31, 2024.
For these sales transactions, Vonovia expects overall to realize a sale at the fair value of the underlying real estate portfolios.
With the publication of the 2023 annual financial statements on March 14, 2024, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board reported that they would provide the Annual General Meeting of Vonovia SE with a proposal to distribute a dividend of € 0.90 per share for the 2023 fiscal year. This amount is approx. 6% higher than the previous year's dividend.
From the 2024 fiscal year onwards, a modified management system has been introduced. This uses the Adjusted EBT indicator and is thus more clearly focused on profitability and internal financing. In the future, this performance
indicator will also serve as the key parameter for Vonovia's dividend policy.
On March 28, 2024, the rating agency Fitch awarded Vonovia an investment grade rating for the first time: BBB+ with a stable outlook. As positive factors, its analysis emphasizes the stability of the regulated rental housing market in Germany, the strong level of demand for residential units and Vonovia's very high occupancy rate (98%).
As reported, on March 7, 2023, Vonovia was informed by the public prosecutor's office in Bochum during the course of necessary search measures connected to an ongoing investigation that former and, at that time, current technical employees were being investigated on suspicion of corruption. The persons under suspicion may also have caused damage for Vonovia by overriding and circumventing controls and compliance policies. Vonovia continues to cooperate fully with the investigating authorities.
The auditing firm Deloitte and the law firm Hengeler Mueller were commissioned to perform a forensic assessment of all the facts of the case. They have determined that Vonovia's tenants have not suffered any harm.
The loss incurred by Vonovia has been calculated as not more than 1% of the order volume awarded by Vonovia, which corresponds to a low single-digit million amount.
Vonovia started the new fiscal year with a first quarter that was largely in line with expectations. Core business in the Rental segment showed positive economic development, bolstered by strong demand for rental apartments and positive rental price development. The overall conditions for the other segments remained subdued and virtually unchanged.
The following key figures provide an overview of the development of Adjusted EBT and other value drivers in the reporting period.
Any analysis of the figures reported has to consider the fact that the prior-year figures are reported based on the current segmentation.
The sale of the Care business activities has since been initiated by the Management Board of Deutsche Wohnen and this segment is expected to be sold before December 2024. Accordingly, the majority of the Care segment is presented as a discontinued operation. A small part of the original Care segment (25 properties operated by third parties) was transferred to the Rental segment and generated a business volume of € 6.1 million in segment revenue in the first quarter of 2024 (first quarter of 2023: € 6.0 million).

As of March 31, 2024, Vonovia had a workforce of 11,999 employees (March 31, 2023: 12,009) in its continuing operations.
and parking spaces (end of the first quarter of 2023: 164,985) and 8,523 commercial units (end of the first quarter of 2023: 8,817). Vonovia also managed 69,879 residential units (end of the first quarter of 2023: 70,583) on behalf of third parties.
As of the end of the first quarter of 2024, Vonovia managed a portfolio comprising 543,427 of its own residential units (end of the first quarter of 2023: 548,368), 163,230 garages
At the end of March 2024, the portfolio in the Rental segment had a vacancy rate of 2.2% (end of March 2023: 2.2%), meaning that it was nearly fully occupied.
Rental segment revenue increased by 2.2% (3M 2023: 2.5%), from € 806.3 million in the first three months of 2023 to € 824.2 million in the first three months of 2024. Of the Rental segment revenue, in the 2024 reporting period rental income in Germany accounted for € 704.3 million (3M 2023: € 692.0 million), rental income in Sweden for € 89.8 million (3M 2023: € 85.7 million) and rental income in Austria for € 30.1 million (3M 2023: € 28.6 million). Organic rent growth (twelve-month rolling) totaled 3.8% (3.4% as of March 31, 2023). The current rent increase due to market-related factors came to 2.1% (1.2% as of March 31, 2023), while the increase from property value improvements translated into a further 1.4% (1.5% as of March 31, 2023). All in all, this corresponds to a like-for-like rent increase of 3.5% (2.7% as of March 2023). New construction and vertical expansion
measures also contributed 0.3% (0.7% as of March 31, 2023) to organic rent growth.
The average monthly in-place rent within the Rental segment at the end of March 2024 came to € 7.78 per m², compared to € 7.54 per m² at the end of March 2023. The monthly in-place rent at the end of March 2024 amounted to € 7.67 € per m² in Vonovia's German portfolio (end of March 2023: € 7.46 per m²), to € 10.21 per m² in its Swedish portfolio (end of March 2023: € 9.70 per m²) and to € 5.51 per m² in its Austrian portfolio (end of March 2023: € 5.26 per m²). The rental income from the portfolio in Sweden is derived from inclusive rents, meaning that the amounts contain operating, heating and water supply costs. Moreover, the rental income from the Austrian real estate portfolio includes maintenance and improvement contributions (EVB).
We have adapted our modernization, new construction and maintenance strategy to reflect the current overall financial conditions in the 2024 fiscal year. The overview below provides details on maintenance, modernization and new construction.

* Previous year's values (2023) adjusted to current key figure and segment definition.
Operating expenses in the Rental segment in the first three months of 2024 were up by 12.4% on the figures for the first three months of 2023, from € 104.7 million to € 117.7 million. All in all, Adjusted EBITDA Rental came to € 592.9 million in the first three months of 2024, up by 1.5% on the prior-year value of € 584.2 million.
Developments in the Value-add segment were dominated by the current overall conditions for our own craftsmen's organization. The reduced volume of modernization work, general price increases for construction services and materials, as well as productivity losses due to smaller-scale investments and increased costs due to a change to new technology (switch from gas heating to heat pumps) had a negative impact on economic development.
All in all, revenue from the Value-add segment came to € 325.1 million in the 2024 reporting period, down by 5.9% on the value of € 345.4 million seen in the first three months of 2023. External revenue from our Value-add activities with our end customers in the first three months of 2024 declined by 21.0% by comparison with the first three months of 2023, from € 35.7 million to € 28.2 million. This is mainly attributable to the trend in the area of energy sales. Intra-group revenue fell by 4.1%, from € 309.7 million in the first three months of 2023 to € 296.9 million in the first three months of 2024.
Operating expenses in the Value-add segment in the first three months of 2024 were down by 1.7% on the figures for the first three months of 2023, from € 319.0 million to € 313.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA Value-add came to € 11.5 million in the first three months of 2024, which represents a significant decrease on the figure of € 26.4 million reported for the first three months of 2023.
In the Recurring Sales segment, income from the disposal of properties in the first three months of 2024 came to € 74.6 million, which was 6.9% higher than the prior-year value of € 69.8 million in the first three months of 2023. 407 residential units were sold (3M 2023: 282), of which 340 were located in Germany (3M 2023: 143) and 67 in Austria (3M 2023: 139). Of this amount, income from sales in Germany accounted for € 57.3 million (3M 2023: € 31.8 million) and income from sales in Austria for € 17.3 million (3M 2023: € 38.0 million).
In the first three months of 2024, the fair value step-up in the portfolio came to 22.4% and was thus lower than the value of 56.0% seen in the first three months of 2023. This was due primarily to lower step-ups for sales in Germany.
Selling costs in the Recurring Sales segment came in at € 4.6 million in the first three months of 2024, up by 39.4% on the prior-year value of € 3.3 million seen in the first three months of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA Recurring Sales amounted to € 9.1 million in the first three months of 2024, down
considerably on the value of € 21.8 million for the first three months of 2023.
Moreover, in the first three months of 2024, 2,409 residential units from the Non-core/Other portfolio (3M 2023: 381) were sold as part of our portfolio adjustment measures, with proceeds totaling € 265.6 million (3M 2023: € 46.0 million). At 0.1%, the fair value step-up for Non-core/Other disposals in the 2024 reporting period was significantly lower than the figure for the first three months of 2023 (19.7%).
Economic development in the Development segment was adversely affected above all by the rise in construction costs and interest rates in the reporting period.
In the "Development to sell" area, a total of 692 units were completed in Germany in the 2024 reporting period (3M 2023: 104 units). Proceeds from the sale of development properties to sell amounted to € 30.6 million (3M 2023: € 30.2 million) in the first three months of 2024. Of this amount, € 23.3 million was attributable to project development in Germany (3M 2023: € 18.3 million) and € 7.4 million to project development in Austria (3M 2023: € 11.9 million). The resulting gross profit for Development to sell came to € 3.3 million in the first three months of 2024, with a margin of 10.8% (3M 2023: € 5.2 million, margin of 17.2%).
Development operating expenses came to € 11.5 million in the first three months of 2024, which was 5.5% higher than the value of € 10.9 million for the first three months of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Development segment amounted to € -6.5 million in the 2024 reporting period (3M 2023: € -4.5 million).
In the "Development to hold" area, a total of 153 units were completed in the first three months of 2024 (3M 2023: 675 units), of which 153 were in Germany (3M 2023: 307 units), none were in Austria (3M 2023: 296 units) and none were in Sweden (3M 2023: 72 units).
The Adjusted EBITDA Total for continuing operations
amounted to € 607.0 million in the first three months of 2024 and was thus 3.3% lower than the prior-year value of € 627.9 million in the first three months of 2023.

The Group's total assets declined by € 166.8 million, from € 91,995.9 million as of December 31, 2023 to € 91,829.1 million.
The key trend in the non-current assets is the € 841.6 million decrease in investment properties, which was almost entirely due to the reclassification of a portfolio of around 4,500 residential units in Berlin to current assets, as assets held for sale.
The transactions with Apollo Capital Management L.P. relating to the disposal of shares in the Südewo portfolio of residential properties in Baden-Württemberg and a portfolio in northern Germany in the 2023 fiscal year gave rise to call options on these shares. These were recognized directly in equity as an asset in the 2023 fiscal year. These options were remeasured on March 31, 2024, resulting in a valuation of € 887.0 million. The adjustment was recognized in the income statement, with income of € 49.0 million.
In the current assets, alongside the increase due to the above-mentioned reclassification of the assets held for sale, a decrease resulted from the sale of residential properties which had previously been accounted for as assets held for sale. Assets held for sale increased by € 515.5 million.
The goodwill amount remains unchanged by comparison with December 31, 2023. On March 31, 2024, goodwill comprised 1.5% of total assets.
As of March 31, 2024, the gross asset value (GAV) of Vonovia's property assets came to € 84,273.6 million. This corresponds to 91.8% of total assets, compared to € 84,545.1 million or 91.9% at the end of 2023.
Equity increased by € 185.0 million, from € 29,944.6 million to € 30,129.6 million. This is attributable, in particular, to the profit for the period of € 335.5 million. Other comprehensive income of € -149.3 million was influenced to a significant degree by currency effects amounting to € -169.4 million.
The equity ratio stood at 32.8% as of March 31, 2024, compared with 32.5% at the end of 2023.
Liabilities decreased by € 351.8 million, from € 62,051.3 million to € 61,699.5 million. The total of non-current nonderivative financial liabilities rose by € 100.2 million, from € 39,636.5 million to € 39,736.7 million. Current nonderivative financial liabilities declined by € 520.8 million, from € 3,260.6 million to € 2,739.8 million.
Deferred tax liabilities decreased by € 160.1 million.
Vonovia's net asset value figures are based on the best practice recommendations of the EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association). At the end of the first quarter of 2024, the EPRA NTA came to € 38,062.9 million, slightly lower than the value of € 38,140.9 million seen at the end of 2023. EPRA NTA per share decreased from € 46.82 at the end of 2023 to € 46.72 at the end of the first quarter of 2024.

Major market developments and valuation parameters that have an impact on the fair values of Vonovia are assessed on an ongoing basis.
An evaluation of the market trend in the period to March 31, 2024 points overall to a sideways trend in fair values for Vonovia's real estate portfolios in the first quarter. The fair values recalculated as of the end of the year have been adjusted to reflect the investments made up to March 31, 2024.
In addition, buildings under construction (new construction/ development to hold) were completed during the threemonth period. A fair value measurement is performed for the first time when the properties are completed. This resulted in a valuation effect of € 0.0 million for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2024 (3M 2023: € 15.7 million).
The entire portfolio will be fully remeasured for the interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, taking into account the updated portfolio data, market developments and, in particular, the discounting and capitalized interest rates.
The recognition and valuation of investment properties are explained in detail in the consolidated financial statements for 2023.

Non-fulfillment of the agreed financial covenants may have a negative effect on Vonovia's liquidity status. As of the reporting date, the financial covenants have been met.
The forecast was based on the accounting principles used in the consolidated financial statements, with the adjustments described elsewhere in the management report being made. The forecast does not take account of any larger acquisitions of real estate portfolios.
Our forecast for the 2024 fiscal year is based on determined and updated corporate planning for the Vonovia Group as a whole, and considers current business developments as well as possible opportunities and risks. It also includes the key overall macroeconomic developments and the economic factors that are relevant to the real estate industry and our corporate strategy. Further information is provided in the sections of the 2023 Annual Report entitled Development of the Economy and the Industry and Fundamental Information About the Group. Beyond this, the Group's further development remains subject to general opportunities and risks (see Opportunities and Risks).
We expect the price increases on the construction and commodity markets, in particular, to continue to have a moderate impact on Vonovia and our customers. While these will directly influence ancillary expenses, they will also have an indirect effect on all areas of the economy due to general price increases. We also expect prices for construction materials to remain high, which will affect our construction projects as well. Unchanged high interest rates and inflation continue to create increased volatility on the equity and debt capital markets. We therefore assess the overall economic situation and developments on an ongoing basis, particularly with regard to the return requirements for investment and divestment decisions.
The EBITDA contribution for our core Rental business is expected to more or less match the previous year's level. In a year-on-year comparison, organic rent increases and associated higher rental income will be offset by higher rent losses stemming from sales resulting in a smaller portfolio. As far as the Value-add segment is concerned, we expect to see a pronounced increase in Adjusted EBITDA in 2024, mainly as a result of us ramping our investment activity back up. We also predict a marked increase in the EBITDA contribution
provided by our Development segment thanks to an increased level of demand for new condominiums. Depending on how demand for existing apartments develops going forward, we expect Adjusted EBITDA in the Recurring Sales segment to roughly match the previous year's level. At Group level, for 2024 we therefore expect to see an Adjusted EBITDA Total that is roughly on a par with the previous year overall.
The rise in interest rates over the last two years is resulting in a marked increase in borrowing costs and the associated adjusted net financial result. Based on stable depreciation and amortization, we therefore expect Adjusted EBT to be slightly below the previous year's level.
Due in particular to heavier investment in our existing portfolio, we expect our investment activity to increase in 2024. In addition, we expect the value of our company to increase further and, as a result, predict a slight increase in EPRA NTA per share, leaving any further market-relatedchanges in property value out of the equation.
Based on the individual weighted targets and the values planned for the 2024 fiscal year in each case, we predict a total value of around 100% for the Sustainability Performance Index.
The following table, which presents material and selected key figures, provides an overview of our forecast for 2024.

** For Germany: additional rent increase claim regarding the apartment in relation to the local comparable rent (OVM) that is guaranteed by law but can only be implemented once the three-year period for maximum rent growth ("Kappungsgrenze") has lapsed. The percentage value refers to the cumulative rent increase claim at the respective point in time and – for that period – cannot be added to the organic rent growth as the implementation occurs in subsequent years.
