--------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales ratio: Continued moderate improvement from depressed

✓ Deliberate decision to postpone new sales starts in first 9 months of 2023; first new sales start in October with initial positive feedback

✓ Sales ratio recently approached long term mean; improving momentum is primarily driven by equity-oriented buy-to-let investors

✓ Higher demand for projects in well advanced stages of construction

✓ Positive impact from introduction of increased depreciation on new builds expected ('Wachstumschancengesetz', 6% p.a. vs. current 3%)

5 | 09.11.2023 | Q3-2023 1 Retail sales ratio = weekly number of units sold/total number of units on offer (four week moving average)

New build prices with only moderate decline; CPI stabilisation

  • ✓ New build condo headline prices in top 7 decreased only slightly in Q3 (only moderate y-o-y decline)
  • ✓ Institutional market is still largely dried up; while retail customer demand shows modest recovery
  • ✓ Construction price inflation is levelling off
    • ✓ INS budgeted mid-single-digit CPI growth for FY 2023 appears well reachable so far; contracts awarded are in line with budget
    • ✓ Negotiating power vis-à-vis construction companies is continuously improving

Price development: yield expansion partly compensated by further accelerating rent growth

House price sensitivity: price impact in different scenarios1

  • ✓ The impact of yield expansion due to higher rates is mitigated by accelerating rent growth. Price correction of 5-8% for institutional market appears realistic scenario1
  • ✓ A positive yield spread to interest costs was historically rather the exception (due to expected rent growth/inflation)
  • ✓ Market stabilisation as of mid 2024 could imply that forward yields may rise further- at least temporarily - to around 4% due to extended time period leading to additional 5-8% of rental growth (as highlighted in the graph above in green)

"Pressure in the rental markets is increasing. // New build rents +2.7% qoq – stronger growth than for existing housing units."

Source: Immoscout24

7 | 09.11.2023 | Q3-2023 1 Assumptions: yield shift to 3.6-3.8%; rent growth 2 years forward of 10-12% (starting point: Q1-23) 2 bulwiengesa, newly built apartments, top-7 cities average

Under construction projects de-risked as 90% sold

Project portfolio as of 30/09/2023 by development (GDV)

  • ✓ Projects with GDV of €3.1bn are "under construction" of which 90% (€2.8bn) already sold
  • ✓ Of the €2.8bn sold volume as of the reporting date €2.1bn has been recognised in revenues

  • ✓ Majority of revenues is based on pre-sold units
  • ✓ Strong Gross Margin reflects quality of projects and construction cost control
  • ✓ Platform cost benefit from reduced staff costs (lower FTE despite increased construction volume); low level is distorted by high level of other operating income (incl. releases of project related provisions)
  • ✓ JV result reflects positive development of construction and sales activity of Berlin JV
  • ✓ Higher financing costs mainly due to increased project related interest cost (partly compensated by higher interest income)
  • ✓ EPS also benefits from lower weighted average no. of shares

Diversified project portfolio across most attractive German regions

Project portfolio as of 30/09/2023 by region (GDV)

  • ✓ 48 projects / 14,269 units
  • ✓ 88% in metropolitan regions
  • ✓ ~79 average sqm / unit
  • ✓ ~€5,728 ASP / sqm
  • ✓ Additional four JV projects (INS share of GDV: ~€650m)

Significant pipeline allows opportunistic investment strategy

Expected future cash flows suggest significant upside1

Fundamental Instone value rests on three distinct pillars

Pre-sold projects

  • c.€3.1bn currently under construction
    • t/o c.€2.8bn pre-sold (90%)
    • in addition c.€70m pre-construction already pre-

sold

→ tangible and substantially de-risked cash-flow profile

Land bank

  • Residual unsold and paid land bank recognised at cost2 of >€400m
  • → substantial incremental value

Future potential

  • Ability to source new projects
  • Highly attractive opportunities likely to materialise within 12-24 months
  • Additional income streams from various strategic initiatives
1) Free cash flow post platform cost and taxes incl. at-equity result

2) Note: "unsold land bank at cost" excluding unsold portion of projects under construction

3) Note: 43.32m shares issued and outstanding (excluding Treasury shares)

De-risked free cash flow from projects under construction1 c.500m
Unsold land bank at cost2 >400
Notional gross asset value2 c.900m
Net debt -272.4
Notional value to shareholders3 >600m

Opportunity Growth Act Introduction ("Wachstumschancen Gesetz")

Key Positives from Increased Depreciation Expected

  • Positive impact for buy-to-let investors expected
  • Increase of depreciation on newly built residential properties from (currently) 3% linear to 6% degressive p.a.
  • The higher depreciation is expected to have a substantial positive impact on the return expectations and thus demand the willingness to pay from private buy-to-let investors (due to full tax deductibility from personal income)
  • The law is expected to be passed by the German parliament (Bundestag) in mid-December but will become effective as of 1 October 2023 retroactively

No major impact from other new subsidy schemes expected

The German government plans to invest >1bn p.a. to support owner-occupiers (help-tobuy) and new build of rental apartments

  • Instone reports according to Art. 8 of the Taxonomy Ordinance on non-financial reporting according to the NFRD/HGB for the disclosure of Taxonomy-eligible and Taxonomy-aligned revenues, CapEx & OpEx
  • Economic activity of Instone is the "7.1 New Construction", other possible economic activities fall under a materiality limit of 3% set by Instone, just like CapEx and OpEx
  • 86.7% of INS 2022 adj. revenues are taxonomy-aligned, 100% of those contribute to the environmental goal of climate protection

→ i.e., the Technical Screening Criteria and Do Not Significant Harm criteria have already been met or will be met upon completion of construction

  • 191 buildings were considered, of which 180 buildings are considered taxonomy-compliant
  • Minimum safeguards are observed

Clear pathway to reduce GHG emissions scope 1 to 3

  • ✓ Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduced by 19.5% vs. base year 2020 (in line with SBTI requirements) through gradual conversion from construction sites to green electricity and replacement of company vehicles with electric vehicles
  • ✓ For scope 3 emissions (~99% of total emissions) a relative increase of 4% was recorded vs. 2021, mainly driven by a 323% increase in completed projects and share of buildings undergoing refurbishment (listed buildings)
  • ✓ Based on the comparison of the portfolio of completed buildings, an average increase in energy intensity in the usage phase of 9% compared to the previous year could be determined

1 Baseline 2020 has changed vs. prev. report, further explanation can be found in the Annual Report // 2 BAU scenario: based on the assumption that decarbonising the energy sector is only progressing moderately // 3 Climate protection scenario: based on the assumption that decarbonising the energy sector achieves climate neutrality in 2045 // 4 Upstream emissions: cover erection of the building (incl. manufacturing of materials) / downstream emissions: largely consist of the use phase (95%) and of the demolition/disposal (5%)
