Net cold rent

+€35.2m or +4.4 %, mainly from organic growth

Profit from operating expenses

Higher operating expenses due to higher non -allocable operating expenses ( – €10.2m)

Allowances on rent receivables

Normalisation due to 2022 one -time effects

Net income from other services (rec.)

Positive effects driven by forward sale of green electricity (+€20.7m)

Personnel expenses (admin)

Driven by tarif increases (-€2.2m) and LTI contribution effects ( - €1.8m)

Net cash interest expenses

Increase (–€18.1m) reflects general interest hike

Investments

Increase in externally procured maintenance (–€42.2m) and considerable decline in capex (+€100.5m) driven by change to AFFO steering and hence lower capitalisation ratio

Appendix – Financials

Cash remains king: AFFO 2023 to AFFO 2024e

More than offsetting the normalisation of the forward sale of green electricity contribution as well as higher interest rates

Demand – supply imbalance will persist for the coming years

Immigration remains a driver to further push demand for affordable units while new supply erodes

German population at highest level ever in 2023

New apartments completed

No. of building permissions for apartments with strongest decline within last decade – on a yearly basis with 260k units at lowest level since 2012

German new development: Studies point to significant reduction

Direction seems to be clear – momentum not yet, but risks that supply drastically breaks down

New residential projects started by volume1 m sqm

"The crisis is deeper than building permission figures and completion figures show so far. Residential construction activities still benefits from projects which have been started before the interest rate reversal. Based on building permissions which have been dropped by roughly a quarter and considering completion times, the number of new built homes will decline to 150.000 units per year [by 2025]"2

Cost rent adjustment

  • Every third year (i.e. last was in 2023, next will be in 2026)
  • After full repayment of the underlying subsidised loan, the residential unit gets out of rent restriction and regular code applies
  • In the case of early repayment, rent restriction continues for another 10 years (tenant protection); then regular code applies

Advantages of early repayment

  • Earlier transition of subsidised unit into free financed segment
  • Immediate positive valuation effect (DCF model)

1 Based on rent table (Mietspiegel). 2 In NRW, 18 cities were identified as tense markets, especially Düsseldorf, Cologne and Greater Cologne area, Bonn, Münster. Outside NRW and relevant for LEG are cities such as Brunswick, Hanover, Laatzen, Oldenburg, Osnabrück and Mannheim.

Subsidised units account for around 19% of the portfolio

Reversionary potential amounts to 46% on average

Rent potential subsidised units

  • Until 2028, around 20,000 units will come off rent restriction
  • Units show significant upside to market rents
  • The economic upside can theoretically be realised the year after restrictions expire subject to general legal and other restrictions4

Around 60% of units to come off restriction until 2028

1 Employed by CBRE as indicator of an average rent value that could theoretically be achieved, not implying that an adjustment of the in-place rent to the market rent is feasible, as stringent legal and contractual restrictions regarding rent increases exist. 2 ≤5 years = 2024–2028; 6-10 years = 2029–2033; >10 years = 2034ff. 3 Rent upside is defined as the difference between LEG in-place rent and market. 4 For example rent increase cap of 15% (tense markets) or 20% for three years.
