The LEG portfolio can be divided into three market clusters using a scoring system: high-growth markets, stable markets, and higher-yielding markets. The indicators for the scoring system are described in the annual report 2022.
The portfolio is spread over around 260 locations, most of which are in LEG's home state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition, properties are held in the federal states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The property portfolio as of 30 June 2023 included 166,890 residential units, 1,596 commercial units and 46,674 garages and parking spaces. The average flat size was 63 square metres, and the average monthly rent was EUR 6.53 per square metre.
The monthly in-place rent on a like-for-like basis was EUR 6.52 per square metre on 30 June 2023, an increase of 4.3% within twelve months. Rent table adjustments contributed 2.1% to this, whereas 1.4 % related to modernisations or new lettings and 0.8% to the adjustment of the cost rent, which is possible every three years.
In the free-financed portfolio, which accounts for 81% of the properties, the in-place rent rose by 4.0 % year-on-year to EUR 6.83 per square metre (like-for-like). Within this segment, the high-growth markets showed an increase of 3.9% to EUR 7.82 per square metre (like-for-like). The free-financed properties in the stable markets showed a significant growth of 4.5% to EUR 6.57 per square metre (like-for-like). In the higher-yielding markets rents rose by 3.5% to EUR 6.18 per square metre (like-for-like).
In the rent-restricted portfolio the average monthly rent increased by 5.4 % to EUR 5.32 (like-for-like) at the end of the reporting period due to the cost rent adjustment.
As at 30 June 2023, the EPRA vacancy rate on a like-for-like basis fell by 10 basis points to 2.6% compared to the previous year's reporting date. In the high-growth markets, the EPRA vacancy rate was 1.6% as at the reporting date, in the stable markets it averaged 2.4% and in the higher-yielding markets it was 4.3% (always on a like-for-like basis).

| Net profit or loss for the period | –1,124.4 | 905.7 | –1,028.1 | 1,060.2 |
Net operating income increased by 18.4% in the reporting period. The main drivers of this development were the increase in net cold rent and the decrease in depreciation and amortisation due to the goodwill impairment loss of EUR 58.9 million in the comparative period.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4.0% from EUR 322.3 million to EUR 335.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin amounted to 80.9% in the reporting period (comparative period: 81.3%).
The main driver of the improvement in the net income from other services is the marketing of LEG's own electricity production in the amount of EUR 12.2 million.
The decrease in administrative and other expenses is mainly due to the goodwill impairment of EUR 40.7 million in the comparative period.
The increase in net income from investment securities and other equity investments to EUR – 0.3 million results from the stable valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N.V. at fair value.
The net income from the remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR – 1,496.1 million (comparative period: EUR 1,169.3 million). The decline is mainly due to the radically changed market environment, characterised by the development of inflation, which led to a significant increase in interest rates.
In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bond in the amount of EUR 0.5 million (comparative period: EUR 154.0 million).
The tax income is almost entirely attributable to the reversal of deferred taxes.

1 Value of comparative period adjusted.
In the reporting period, net operating income increased by EUR 44.6 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main drivers of this development were the decrease in depreciation and amortisation due to the goodwill impairment loss of EUR 58.9 million in the comparative period and the increase in net cold rent of EUR 18.1 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 4.3% year-on-year. This was offset by an increase of EUR – 11.7 million in maintenance expenses for externally procured services, an increase of EUR – 6.7 million in profit from operating expenses, and a decrease of EUR –8.6 million in Other, mainly due to a reduction of EUR –4.2 million in capitalised own work services.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI) margin decreased to 81.9% compared to the same period of the previous year.

The presentation of EPRA capex breaks down the capitalisation of investments and reconciles them to the payments for modernisation in investment properties. The modernisations capitalised as value-enhancing measures, divided into development (new development activities on own land amounting to EUR 10.9 million) and investments in investment properties (EUR 98.0 million), decreased by 32.3% to EUR 108.9 million in the reporting period. Due to the decrease in acquisitions to EUR 124.6 million, EPRA Capex in the reporting period amounted to EUR 233.5 million (comparative period: EUR 367.1 million).

In addition to the decrease in value-adding modernisation by EUR – 57.4 million to EUR 110.4 million, the increase in maintenance expenses by EUR 9.7 million to EUR 65.2 million resulted in total investments of EUR 175.6 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 223.3 million). Investments for new construction activities on own land, public safety measures in connection with acquisitions, own work capitalised as well as consolidation effects were eliminated from total investment when calculating total investment per square meter. Adjusted total investment was EUR 152.8 million (comparative period: EUR 197.6 million) and average total investment per square metre in the reporting year was EUR 14.08 per square metre (comparative period: EUR 18.31 per square metre). The capitalisation rate after adjustments decreased to 57.7 % in the reporting period (comparative period: 72.8%), as the company no longer uses FFO I but AFFO as its key performance indicator from 1 January 2023.

Income from the disposal of investment properties amounted to EUR 38.5 million (comparative period: EUR 33.7 million) and mainly relate to three major block sales whose contracts were concluded in the 2022 financial year but whose transfer of ownership did not take place until the 2023 financial year.
Net income from the remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR – 1,496.1 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 1,169.3 million). Based on the property portfolio as at the beginning of the financial year (including the remeasured acquisitions), this corresponds to a decrease of 7.4% (comparative period: increase of EUR 6.1%). The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) was EUR 1,666 per square metre as at 30 June 2023 including acquisitions (31 December 2022: EUR 1,789 per square metre).
In response to the inflation trend, the most important central banks raised key interest rates significantly. The corresponding impact on the cost of capital led, with the time lag typical of real estate markets, to an increase in the discount rates used to determine the value of investment properties. The average discount rate for the property portfolio as of 30 June 2023 was 4.3% (31 December 2022: 3.7%).
The EPRA net initial yield is calculated on the basis of the annualised net cash rental income divided by the gross market value of the property portfolio. The calculation is based for the first time as of 30 June 2023 on the gross market value of the entire investment property portfolio (before: only residential portfolio) less assets under construction, leasehold rights and undeveloped land. The topped-up net initial yield is determined by adjusting the annualised net cash rental income for the costs of rental incentives granted.

Within other operating expenses, there were, among other things, increased costs for insurance. The decrease in depreciation and amortisation expenses is due to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 million in the prior-year period. The recurring administrative expenses thus increased by EUR 2.1 million in the first six months compared with the same period of the previous year.

The interest expenses increased in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period in the previous year by EUR 12.1 million to EUR –77.2 million. The increase in interest expenses is mainly due to the increased interest rate level.
Year-on-year, the average interest rate increased to 1.40% as at 30 June 2023 (1.15% as at 30 June 2022) on an average term of 6.10 years (7.06 years as at 30 June 2022).
The increase in net income from investment securities and other equity investments to EUR – 0.3 million results from the stable valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N.V. at fair value. The share price on the reporting date was EUR 94.6.
In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bond in the amount of EUR 0.5 million (comparative period: EUR 154.0 million).
An effective Group tax rate of 21.06 % was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 20.4%).
The increase in current tax expenses is mainly due to sales of properties and special effects from the sale of electricity.
The reversal of deferred tax expenses is mainly attributable to the devaluation of investment properties.
As part of the realignment of corporate management, FFO I will be replaced by AFFO (capex-adjusted FFO I) as the most important financial performance indicator for Group management from the financial year 2023.
AFFO is calculated by deducting recurring capex measures from FFO I (after non-controlling interests).
In terms of FFO, LEG distinguishes between FFO I (excluding the net income from the disposal of investment properties) and FFO II (including the net income from the disposal of investment properties).
FFO I is the cash inflow from operating activities. Based on EBITDA (adjusted), the calculation of FFO I takes into account cash interest expenses and income as well as cash taxes. From the 2023 financial year, maintenance expenses for externally procured services and own work capitalised previously included in the "Other" item will no longer be reported in adjusted net operating income, but will be recognised as an adjustment to adjusted EBITDA.

1 Value of comparative period adjusted.

Starting from FFO I (after non-controlling interests), the AFFO generally takes into account the capitalised costs from modernisation and maintenance. Only recurring capex measures are deducted (capex (recurring)). Capex that benefits from government funding is defined as non-recurring. In addition, consolidation effects resulting from the elimination of intercompany results due to self-produced services are eliminated. The reconciliation breaks down as follows:

| Capex (recurring) | –59.1 | –91.6 | –107.4 | –162.0 |
At EUR 118.6 million, AFFO in the reporting period was 49.4% higher than in the same period of the previous year (EUR 79.4 million). In particular, this increase is attributable to lower capex expenses and significantly higher earnings from electricity sales.

A fair value measurement of investment properties was conducted as at 30 June 2023. The resulting valuation effect of EUR – 1,496.1 million (comparative period: EUR 1,169.3 million) was the main driver for the decrease in this item compared to 31 December 2022. Additions from acquisitions amounting to EUR 124.6 million and capitalisation of property modernisation measures amounting to EUR 105.9 million also had an effect.
The recognition of real estate tax expense as other inventories (EUR 14.6 million) for the remainder of the financial year and the deferral of prepaid and not yet invoiced operating costs of EUR 42.9 million as well as the investment of short-term investment of financial resources in the amount of EUR 39.9 million contributed significantly to the development of the receivables and other assets.
The development of equity since 31 December 2022 is mainly characterised by the net profit for the period (EUR – 1,029.8 million).
Non-current and current financial liabilities fell by EUR 63.6 million compared to the previous year. This is mainly due to scheduled and unscheduled repayments of bank loans of EUR –64.5 million.
While the decrease in other non-current liabilities resulted in particular from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities (EUR – 272.3 million), trade payables (EUR + 68.3 million) and advance payments received (EUR + 9.9 million) increased within other current liabilities, while purchase price liabilities decreased in the opposite direction (EUR –13.0 million).

The EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV are relevant indicators for the real estate industry. LEG has defined the EPRA NTA as the key performance indicator.The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2022 annual report.
LEG reported an EPRA NTA of EUR 10,100.7 million or EUR 136.29 per share as at 30 June 2023. In the calculation, deferred taxes on investment properties are adjusted by the amount attributable to planned property disposals by LEG. Incidental acquisition costs are not taken into account. The key figures are presented on a diluted basis only.

Net debt at the end of the reporting period decreased slightly compared to 31 December 2022. However, the revaluation of investment properties results in an increased loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 46.6% as at 30 June 2023 (31 December 2022: 43.9%).

The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) has expanded the Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines to include the EPRA LTV ratio. Compared to LTV, hybrid debt instruments such as convertible bonds are treated as financial liabilities until the time of conversion. Furthermore, net debt and net assets of joint ventures and material associates are included and material non-controlling interests are excluded.
Kommunale Haus und Wohnen GmbH and Beckumer Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH are included as significant associates. In addition, BCP is included for reasons of transparency, although it is not included as an associate in the consolidated financial statements of LEG Immobilien SE.

Higher receipts from net cold rents and advance payments of operating costs had a positiv impact on the net cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period.
Essentially, acquisitions and modernisation work of the existing portfolio with payments of EUR –202.2 million and EUR –7.8 million for owner-occupied property, plant and equipment as well as the investment of short-term funds in the amount of EUR – 39.6 million contributed to the cash flow from investing activities in the amount of EUR – 226.0 million. This was offset by cash inflows from the sale of properties amounting to EUR 34.3 million.
In the first half of 2023, current repayments of bank loans (EUR –64.5 million) and lease liabilities (EUR –5.1 million) and, in opposite direction, the raising of new loans of EUR 2.3 million are the main drivers for the cash flow from financing activities in the amount of EUR –69.0 million.
The LEG's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.
T23
A net profit for the period of EUR –1,028.1 million was realised in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 1,060.2 million). Equity amounted to EUR 8,052.8 million at the reporting date (31 December 2022: EUR 9,083.9 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 40.2% (31 December 2022: 42.5%).
A condensed form of the LEG Group's statement of cash flows for the reporting period is shown below:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2023 |
01.01. – 30.06.2022 |

The risks and opportunities faced by LEG in its operating activities were described in detail in the annual report 2022. In the course of the financial year 2023 to date, two relevant risks have become discernible.
As of 3 March 2023, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs published an updated draft bill on the "Ordinance on amending the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances and other Occupational Health and Safety Ordinances". This draft bill formulates a general suspicion of asbestos for all buildings with start of construction prior to 31 October 1993. For the majority of LEG's properties, construction began before this date. This would mean that extensive investigation and subsequent remediation work would have to be carried in the future, including the corresponding direct costs, but also indirect costs due to longer vacancy periods for the units to be tested or renovated, among other things. The draft bill is expected to enter the parliamentary procedure in its current form, so that changes may still arise. There are currently delays in the parliamentary legislative process, amongst others due to the need for further coordination of content. The implementation originally planned for 1 January 2024 is therefore less realistic from today's perspective and could also take place later in the year 2024.
In its decision of 26 January 2023 (file number V R 20/22), the BFH (Federal Fiscal Court) referred the question to the ECJ as to whether, contrary to the established BFH case law, turnover between members of a VAT group is subject to VAT. This is to be assessed above all against the background if the recipient of the service is not entitled to a full input tax deduction. This is precisely the case for a number of service relationships within LEG, as the portfolio-holding companies are only entitled to a minor deduction of input tax due to the largely VAT-exempt rental of residential space. Such a change would have a significant effect on LEG in view of the current VAT rate of 19%. The ECJ's assessment cannot be conclusively assessed at present, also in view of the different opinions of the Advocates General.
On 29 June 2023, LEG informed in an ad hoc release that it increased its outlook for the most important financial performance indicators AFFO and adjusted EBITDA margin. LEG now expects AFFO of EUR 165 million – EUR 180 million for the financial year 2023 (previous expectation: EUR 125 million – EUR 140 million). The improvement in AFFO is mainly driven by two one-time effects of roughly similar magnitude: lower excess profit taxation on LEG's own electricity production than planned, and the further cancellation of originally planned new development activities, which is relevant to Capex and therefore increases AFFO. At the same time, a higher adjusted EBITDA margin of c. 80% is expected compared to originally c. 78%.
Operationally, LEG continues to benefit from the demand situation in the rental market and on this basis now expects increased rental growth of 3.8%–4.0% (previous expectation: 3.3%–3.7%).
For more details, please refer to the forecast report in the annual report 2022, p. 80 et seq.

LEG Immobilien SE, Düsseldorf, and its subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries, in particular LEG NRW GmbH, Düsseldorf, and its subsidiaries, collectively "LEG", are among the largest housing companies in Germany. On 30 June 2023, LEG held a portfolio of 168,486 (30 June 2022: 168,194) residential and commercial units (168,300 (30 June 2022: 168,019) units excluding IFRS 5 objects).
As an integrated property company, LEG engages in three core activities: the optimisation of the core business, the expansion of the value chain as well as consolidating the management platform.
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all figures have been rounded to millions of euros (EUR million). For technical reasons, tables and references can include rounded figures that differ from the exact mathematical values.
LEG Immobilien SE prepared the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim reporting, as endorsed in the EU, and their interpretation by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Based on the option under IAS 34.10, the notes to the financial statements were presented in a condensed form. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited or subjected to an audit review. LEG primarily generates income from the rental and letting of investment properties. Rental and lease business, in essence, is unaffected by seasonal influences.
The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated financial statements of LEG Immobilien SE are the same as those presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2022. These interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2023 should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2022.
LEG Immobilien SE has fully applied the new standards and interpretations that are mandatory from 1 January 2023. There were no effects on the net assets, financial position and results of operations.
There were no changes in the Group as at 30 June 2023.
The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made that affect the recognition of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions and estimates particularly relate to the measurement of investment properties, the recognition and measurement of pension provisions, the recognition and measurement of other provisions, the measurement of financing liabilities, and the eligibility for recognition of deferred tax assets.
Although the management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are appropriate, any unforeseeable changes in these assumptions could impact the net assets, financial position and results of operations.
For further information, please refer to the Consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2022.
On 30 June 2023, LEG held 166,890 apartments and 1,596 commercial units in its portfolio (168,300 units excluding IFRS 5 properties).

In addition, LEG's portfolio still includes land and buildings accounted for in accordance with IAS 16.
Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets included right of use leases in the amount of EUR 19.1 million as of 30 June 2023. The right of uses result from rented land and buildings, cars, heat contracting, measurement and reporting technology, IT peripheral devices as well as software. In the reporting period right of uses in the amount of EUR 0.9 million have been added.

Changes in the components of consolidated equity are shown in the statement of changes in consolidated equity.
Financing liabilities are composed as follows:
| € million | 30.06.2023 | 31.12.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Financing liabilities from real estate financing | 9,286.0 | 9,347.9 |
| Financing liabilities from lease financing | 111.2 | 112.9 |
| Financing liabilities | 9,397.2 | 9,460.8 |
Financing liabilities from property financing serve the financing of investment properties.
The consolidated financial statements of LEG Immobilien SE reported financial liabilities from real estate financing of EUR 9,286.0 million as at 30 June 2023. In the first half of 2023, loans in the amount of EUR 2.3 million were valued. This was offset by scheduled and unscheduled repayments of EUR 64.5 million and the amortisation of transaction costs.
The financial liabilities from real estate financing include the following capital market instruments as of the reporting date:
| € million | IFRS carrying amount |
Nominal value |
|---|---|---|
| Convertible bond 2020/2028 | 532.6 | 550.0 |
| Convertible bond 2017/2025 | 395.7 | 400.0 |
| Bond 2022/2026 | 498.0 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2029 | 496.7 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2034 | 497.7 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2032 | 495.2 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2031 | 595.1 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2021/2033 | 595.5 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2019/2033 | 298.6 | 300.0 |
| Bond 2019/2027 | 499.3 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2017/2024 | 502.2 | 500.0 |
The convertible bonds were classified and recognised in full as debt due to the issuer's contractual cash settlement option. There are several embedded derivatives and derivatives that must be separated that are to be jointly regarded as a compound derivative and carried at fair value. The host debt instrument is recognised at amortised cost.
The change in financial liabilities from lease financing in the reporting period essentially results from the decrease in lease liabilities for measurement and reporting technology. For leases that have already been concluded and do not begin until after the balance sheet date, there will be possible future cash outflows of EUR 1.4 million.
The main driver for the change in the maturity distribution compared with 31 December 2022 is the remaining maturity of a corporate bond, which led to an increase in financial debt with a short-term maturity and correspondingly to a reduction in financial debt with a mid-term maturity, and the remaining term of a convertible bond, which led to a reduction in financial debt with a long-term maturity.

1 Value of comparative period adjusted.
In the reporting period, net operating income increased by EUR 44.6 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main drivers of this development were the decrease in depreciation and amortisation due to the goodwill impairment loss of EUR 58.9 million in the comparative period and the increase in net cold rent of EUR 18.1 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 4.3% year-on-year. This was offset by an increase of EUR –11.7 million in maintenance expenses for externally procured services, an increase of EUR –6.7 million in profit from operating expenses, and a decrease of EUR –8.6 million in Other, mainly due to a reduction of EUR –4.2 million in capitalised own work.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI) margin decreased to 81.9% compared to the same period of the previous year.
In the reporting period the following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases were included.
| € million | 01.01.– 30.06.2023 |
01.01.– 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|

| Right of use technical equipment and machinery | –2.0 | –1.9 |
| Right of use operating and office equipment | –1.4 | –1.4 |
| Depreciation expenses of leases | –3.5 | –3.4 |
In the reporting period expenses of leases of a low-value asset in the amount of EUR 0.3 million were included in the net operating income (comparative period: EUR 0.1 million).
Net income from the disposal of investment properties is composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01.– 30.06.2023 |
01.01.– 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Income from the disposal of investment properties | 38.5 | 33.7 |
| Carrying amount of the disposal of investment properties | –38.8 | –33.9 |
| Costs of sales of investment properties | –0.6 | –0.6 |
| Net income from the disposal of investment properties | –0.9 | –0.8 |
Net income from the remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR –1,496.1 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 1,169.3 million). Based on the property portfolio as at the beginning of the financial year (including the remeasured acquisitions), this corresponds to a decrease of – 7.4% (comparative period: increase of EUR 6.1%). The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) was EUR 1,666 per square metre as at 30 June 2023 including acquisitions (31 December 2022: EUR 1,789 per square metre).
In response to the inflation trend, the most important central banks raised key interest rates significantly. The corresponding impact on the cost of capital led, with the time lag typical of real estate markets, to an increase in the discount rates used to determine the value of investment properties. The average discount rate for the property portfolio as of 30 June 2023 is 4.3% (31 December 2022: 3.7%).

Within other operating expenses, there were, among other things, increased costs for insurance. The decrease in depreciation and amortisation expenses is due to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 million in the prior-year period. The recurring administrative expenses thus increased by EUR 2.1 million in the first six months compared with the same period of the previous year.
In the reporting period following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included.

An effective Group tax rate of 21.06% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 20.4%).
The increase in current tax expenses is mainly due to sales of properties and special effects from the sale of electricity.
The reversal of deferred tax expenses is mainly attributable to the devaluation of investment properties.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the shareholders by the average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.

As at 30 June 2023, LEG Immobilien SE had convertible bonds outstanding, which authorise the bearer to conversion into up to 7.1 million new ordinary shares.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by increasing the average number of shares outstanding by the number of all potentially dilutive shares. The net profit/loss for the period is adjusted for the expenses no longer incurring for the interest coupon, the measurement of the embedded derivatives and the amortisation of the convertible bond and the resulting tax effect in the event of the conversion rights being exercised in full.
LEG has operated in only one segment since the 2016 financial year. It generates its revenues and holds its assets exclusively in Germany. In the financial year 2023, LEG did not generate sales of more than 10% of total reported sales with any customer.
In addition to the minimum disclosures required by IFRS 8, the company's key performance indicators are explained and presented below. These correspond to the management and reporting system used by LEG for corporate management and provide a deeper insight into the economic performance of our company.
LEG's internal reporting differs from IFRS accounting figures. LEG focusses its internal reporting in particular on the key performance indicator AFFO and on the other financial key figures EPRA NTA per share and LTV as housing industry key figures. The alternative performance indicators presented below are not based on IFRS figures, with the exception of the comments on LTV.
As part of the realignment of corporate management, FFO I has been replaced by AFFO (capexadjusted FFO I) as the most important financial performance indicator for Group management from the financial year 2023.
AFFO is calculated by deducting recurring capex measures from FFO I (after non-controlling interests).
In terms of FFO, LEG distinguishes between FFO I (excluding the net income from the disposal of investment properties) and FFO II (including the net income from the disposal of investment properties).
FFO I is the cash inflow from operating activities. Based on EBITDA (adjusted), the calculation of FFO I takes into account cash interest expenses and income as well as cash taxes. From the 2023 financial year, maintenance expenses for externally procured services and own work capitalised previously included in the "Other" item will no longer be reported in adjusted net operating income, but will be recognised as an adjustment to adjusted EBITDA.
The calculation of AFFO, FFO I, and FFO II for the reporting and comparison period is as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2023 |
01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cold rent | 414.3 | 396.2 |

| Capex (recurring) | –107.4 | –162.0 |
| AFFO (capex-adjusted FFO I) | 118.6 | 79.4 |
1 Value of comparative period adjusted.
Starting from FFO I (after non-controlling interests), the AFFO generally takes into account the capitalised costs from modernisation and maintenance. Only recurring capex measures are deducted (capex (recurring)). Capex that benefits from government funding is defined as non-recurring. In addition, consolidation effects resulting from the elimination of intercompany results due to self-produced services are eliminated.
The reconciliation breaks down as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2023 |
01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Investments in investment properties | –108.9 | –166.8 |
| Investments in property, plant and equipment | –1.5 | –1.0 |
| Capital expenditure | –110.4 | –167.8 |
| Subsidised investments | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Consolidation effects | 3.0 | 5.8 |
| Capex (recurring) | –107.4 | –162.0 |
EBITDA and FFO are adjusted for non-recurring effects to ensure comparability with previous periods. Adjustments are made for all items that are not attributable to operations in the period and that have a not insignificant effect on EBITDA and FFO. These non-recurring special items comprise project costs for business model and process optimisation, personnel matters, acquisition and integration costs, capital market financing and M&A activities as well as other atypical matters. These are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2023 |
01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Project costs to optimise the business model and processes | 1.8 | 3.0 |
| Staff related costs | 1.5 | 1.8 |
| Acquisition and integration related costs | 3.0 | 5.5 |
| Capital market financing and M&A activities | 0.8 | 2.0 |
| Other atypical matters | 0.5 | 2.0 |
| Special one-off effects | 7.6 | 14.3 |
EBITDA adjusted for these special items is further adjusted for cash interest income and expenses, cash taxes and non-controlling interests in FFO I.
Cash interest expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.06.2023 |
01.01. – 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expenses reported in income statement | 77.2 | 65.1 |

| Cash effective interest income | 3.2 | 0.0 |
| Cash effective interest expenses (net) | 63.0 | 54.1 |
The EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV are relevant indicators for the real estate industry. LEG has defined EPRA NTA as the key performance indicator. Another financial indicator is EPRA NTA per share.
LEG reports EPRA NTA of EUR 10,100.7 million or EUR 136.29 per share as at 30 June 2023. In the calculation, deferred taxes on investment properties are adjusted by the amount attributable to planned property disposals by LEG. Incidental acquisition costs are not taken into account. The key figures are presented on a diluted basis only.

1 Taking the ancillary acquisition costs into account would result in an NTA of EUR 11,933.2 million or EUR 161.02 per share.
LEG's calculation of EPRA NTA is based on the Best Practice Recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).
The purchase price obligations from share deals recognised as liabilities are shown as effects from the exercise of options, convertible bonds and other rights to equity amounting to EUR 31.0 million.
Deferred taxes resulting from the measurement of investment properties and from the measurement of publicly subsidised loans as well as the measurement of derivatives are adjusted in the amount of the equity impact. Deferred taxes relating to the planned sales programme are not taken into account in the determination of the EPRA NTA. These amounted to a total of EUR 2,086.4 million as at 30 June 2023.
Effects of the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are also eliminated in calculating the EPRA NTA. If these effects from the measurement of derivatives relate to the equity value calculated in the "Effects on equity from the exercise of options, convertible bonds and other rights" item, these are not included under "fair value of financial instruments". As at 30 June 2023, these effects totalled EUR –38.9 million.
If the purchase price allocations for acquisitions to be accounted for in line with IFRS 3 result in goodwill (from deferred taxes and synergies), these reduce equity in the calculation of EPRA NTA. There is no goodwill as of 30 June 2023.
In addition, all recognised intangible assets are eliminated. As at 30 June 2023 these totalled EUR 5.5 million.
The estimated incidental acquisition costs are calculated on the basis of the net market values of the property portfolio. In accordance with the property portfolios in the various federal states, real estate transfer tax is taken into account. In addition, brokerage courtage and notary fees are applied in determining the estimated incidental acquisition costs.
Net debt at the end of the reporting period decreased slightly compared with 31 December 2022. However, the revaluation of investment properties resulted in an increased loan to value ratio (LTV) of 46.6% as at 30 June 2023 (31 December 2022: 43.9%).

The non-capitalised maintenance expenses from the point of view of the asset holding companies consist of maintenance expenses for externally procured services and maintenance expenses procured internally by the service companies of LEG. This is adjusted for consolidation effects. In the case of modernisations which are capitalised as value-enhancing measures, new construction activities on own land and own work capitalised are eliminated in addition to consolidation effects.

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities broken down by measurement category and class. Receivables and liabilities from finance leases and derivatives used as hedging instruments are included even though they are not assigned to an IFRS 9 measurement category. With respect to reconciliation, non-financial assets and non-financing liabilities are also included although they are not covered by IFRS 7.
The fair values of financial instruments are determined on the basis of corresponding market values or measurement methods. For cash and cash equivalents and other short-term primary financial instruments, the fair value is approximately the same as the carrying amount at the end of the respective reporting period.
For non-current receivables, other assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated on the basis of the forecast cash flows, applying the reference interest rates as of the end of the reporting period. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date.
For financial instruments at fair value, the discounted cash flow method is used to determine fair value using corresponding quoted market prices, with individual credit ratings and other market conditions being taken into account in the form of standard credit and liquidity spreads when calculating present value. If no quoted market prices are available, the fair value is calculated using standard measurement methods applying instrument-specific market parameters.
When calculating the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the input parameters for the valuation models are the relevant market prices and interest rates observed as of the end of the reporting period, which are obtained from recognised external sources. The derivatives are therefore attributable to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13.72 ff (measurement on the basis of observable inputs).
Both the Group's own risk and the counterparty risk were taken into account in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives in accordance with IFRS 13.

As at 30 June 2023, the fair value of of the investment in BCP amounted to EUR 260.8 million (previous year: EUR 268.0 million). The change compared to the previous year amounts to EUR –7.2 million. This participation is allocated to Level 1 of the measurement hierarchy, as there is an active market for the shares.
Furthermore, there are very small equity investments with a fair value of EUR 22.1 million (previous year: EUR 18.2 million). This results in a change of EUR 3.9 million compared to the previous year, which was recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value of the very small equity investments is calculated using simplified DCF procedures as there are no quoted prices in an active market for the relevant equity investments. The fair value calculated using valuation models is allocated to Level 3 of the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. Allocation to Level 3 takes place based on valuation models with inputs not observed on a market. This relates primarily to the capitalisation rate of 3.9% (previous year: 4.8%).
As at 30 June 2023, the fair value of the very small Level 3 equity investments was EUR 22.1 million. The stress test of this parameter on the basis of plus 50 bp results in a reduction of the fair value to EUR 19.7 million (previous year: EUR 16.6 million) and at minus 50 bp in an increase of the fair value to EUR 25.3 million (previous year: EUR 20.2 million).
