✓ Deliberate decision to postpone new sales starts

✓ Sales ratio still below LT mean; somewhat improving momentum is primarily driven by equity-oriented investors

✓ Higher demand for projects in well advanced stages of construction

New build prices slightly decreasing; CPI growth receding

  • ✓ New build condo headline prices in top 7 cities remained rather stable in Q2 (moderate y-o-y decline)
  • ✓ Transaction volumes remain depressed, institutional market is still dried up
  • ✓ Rise in construction costs is clearly decelerating, signs of stabilisation in Q2
    • ✓ INS budgeted mid-single-digit CPI growth appears well achievable so far; contracts awarded are in line with budget
    • ✓ Negotiating power vis-à-vis construction companies has improved

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)

"Further rent increases in Q2-23 on the back of collapsed new build market and record high immigration" Source: immowelt "Demand for new build rental homes is 90% higher than in Q4-19 (pre-Covid). // New build rents +2.5% qoq and +7.2% yoy – even higher on average in metropolitan areas."

Source: Immoscout24

Under and pre-construction projects de-risked as 90% pre-sold

Project portfolio as of 30/06/2023 by development (GDV)

  • ✓ Platform cost benefit from reduced staff costs (lower FTE despite increased construction volume)
  • ✓ At-equity result reflects construction and sales activity of Berlin JV in line with expectations
  • ✓ Higher financing costs mainly due to rise in rates and increased project debt

✓ EPS benefits from lower weighted average no. of shares

Expected future cash flows suggest significant upside1

Fundamental Instone value rests on three distinct pillars

Pre-sold projects

    • t/o c.€2.8bn pre-sold (90%)
    • in addition c.€60m 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

  • 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%)
