The LEG portfolio can be divided into three market clusters using a scoring system: high-growth markets, stable markets and higheryielding markets. The indicators for the scoring system are described in the annual report 2021.
The portfolio is spread over around 270 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 September 2022 included 166,758 residential units, 1,570 commercial units and 45,858 garages and parking spaces. The average flat size was 63 square metres, and the average monthly rent was EUR 6.30 per square metre.
Operational development
On a like-for-like basis, the actual in-place rent on 30 September 2022 was EUR 6.32 per square metre and month. This corresponds to an increase of 3.2% compared to the previous year's reporting date. The like-for-like analysis does not take into account 22,189 residential units that were not yet part of the LEG portfolio as at 30 September 2021.
The in-place rent in the free-financed units rose by 3.9% yearon-year to EUR 6.73 per square metre (like-for-like). The freefinanced units account for 80 % of the portfolio. Within this market segment, the high-growth markets recorded the highest in-place rent growth with an increase of 4.0 % to EUR 7.76 per square metre (like-for-like). They were followed by the higheryielding markets with an increase of 3.9% to EUR 6.10 per square metre (like-for-like). In the stable markets, the monthly in-place rent at the end of the third quarter averaged EUR 6.42 per square metre (like-for-like), 3.8% higher than in the same quarter of the previous year.
The in-place rent in the rent-restricted portfolio, which accounts for 20% of LEG's portfolio, increased by only 1 cent to EUR 5.00 per square metre (like-for-like). The next regular adjustment of cost rents will take place in January 2023.
The EPRA vacancy rate fell again as at 30 September 2022 in all three market segments on a-like-for-like basis, in some cases significantly. Overall, the vacancy rate declined by 40 basis points to 2.1% (like-for-like). In the higher-yielding markets, it fell by 70 basis points to 3.0 %, in the stable markets by 60 basis points to 2.0% and in the high-growth markets by 10 basis points to 1.4% (like-for-like in each case).

Net rental and lease income decreased by EUR 7.0 million or 1.7% to EUR 400.3 million compared to the same period of the previous year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 14.5 % to EUR 458.7 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin decreased slightly to 76.9% (comparative period: 78.6%), mainly due to the portfolios purchased in the previous year.
In the reporting period the decline in operating earnings by EUR 0.8 million is mainly due to the EUR 48.0 million increase in administrative and other expenses. The raise in administrative and other expenses is essentially related to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 million. This was offset by EUR 48.6 million higher net income from the remeasurement of investment properties.
The decrease in net income from other financial assets and other investments to EUR –56.3 million resulted mainly from the valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N. V. at fair value.
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 150.0 million (comparative period: EUR 5.5 million).
Current income tax expenses of EUR – 1.6 million were recorded affecting net income in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR –3.4 million).

In the reporting period, the net rental and lease income decreased by EUR 7.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development is the amortisation of goodwill in the amount of EUR 58.9 million as part of the impairment test due to increased interest rates. In addition, an increase in the number of employees mainly in connection with acquisitions made in 2021 led to an increase in staff costs of EUR 18.3 million. The allowances on rent receivables increased by EUR 6.6 million, in particular due to the increased volume of operating expenses that have not yet been invoiced. This was countered by the rise in net cold rents by EUR 86.9 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 3.2% in the reporting period.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly from 82.4% to 79.9% in the reporting period.
The EPRA vacancy rate like-for-like as of 30 September 2022 was reduced from 2.5% to 2.1% compared to the comparative period.

The EPRA capex splits the capitalised expenditure and reconciles to cash outflows for investment properties. The value-adding modernisation work, divided into development (EUR 17.0 million) and investments in investment properties (EUR 250.7 million), increased to EUR 267.7 million in the reporting period. Taking into account the acquisitions of EUR 288.5 million, the EPRA Capex amounted to EUR 556.2 million in the reporting period.

The increase in value enhancing modernisations by EUR 32.0 million and in maintenance expenses by EUR 13.9 million led to total investments in the reporting period of EUR 354.4 million (comparative period: EUR 308.5 million). For the calculation of the total investments per square metre, the investments for new construction activities managed by LEG, public safety measures for portfolio acquisitions as well as capitalised own services were eliminated from the total investments. Adjusted, total investments amount to EUR 311.4 million and the average total investment per square metre is EUR 28.82 euros (comparative period: EUR 29.63). The adjusted capitalisation ratio decreased slightly to 73.7% in the reporting period (comparative period:

Disposal of investment properties increased in the reporting period. Income from the disposal of investment properties amounted to EUR 38.9 million and relate mainly to properties, which were reported as assets held for sale and were remeasured up to the agreed property value as of 31 December 2021.
The remeasurement of investment properties was conducted as of 30 June 2022. There were minor changes in the third quarter 2022 due to the remeasurement of the assets held for sale according to IFRS 5.
Net income from remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR 1,168.4 million in the reporting period which corresponds to a 6.1 % rise (including the remeasured acquisitions) compared to the start of the financial year.
The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) is EUR 1,839 per square metre including acquisitions (31 December 2021: EUR 1,706 per square metre).
The remaining real estate inventory held as at 30 September 2022 amounted to 0.1 Mio. Euro is land under development.

The increase in other operating expenses is mainly attributable to higher consultancy fees. Higher depreciation and amortisation expenses are due to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 million. The adjusted administrative expenses increased by EUR 3.1 million or 11.7% in the first nine months compared to the same period in the previous year.

Interest expenses increased by EUR –18.9 million year on year to EUR – 103.4 million. This includes interest expenses from loan amortisation, which increased by EUR – 5.6 million to EUR – 18.1 million. The rise in interest expenses relates mainly to corporate bonds issued after the comparative period.
Year-on-year there was a slight increase in the average interest rate to 1.26% as at 30 September 2022 (1.23% as at 30 September 2021) based on an average term of 6.8 years (7.4 years as at 30 September 2021).
The decrease in net income from other financial assets and other investments to EUR –56.3 million resulted mainly from the valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N. V. at fair value.
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 150.0 million (comparative period: EUR 5.5 million).

An effective Group tax rate of 20.4% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 19.4%).
Current tax expenses include EUR – 0.1 million of income taxes relating to other periods. These relate to the release of a corporate tax provision for the years 2018 – 2020.
FFO I is a key financial performance indicator of the LEG Immo. The LEG Immo distinguishes between FFO I (not including net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex). The calculation methods for these key figures can be found in the glossary in the annual report 2021.
FFO I, FFO II and AFFO were calculated as follows in the reporting period and the same period of the previous year:

At EUR 374.3 million, the FFO I was 12.0% higher in the reporting period than in the same period of the previous year (comparative period: EUR 334.2 million). In particular, this increase is attributable to the positive impact from the rise in net cold rent including the effects of the acquisitions made.
Due to rising interest expenses, the interest coverage ratio (ratio of adjusted EBITDA to cash interest expense) decreased from 625 % in the same period of the previous year to 557% in the reporting period.

A fair value measurement of investment properties was conducted as of 30 June 2022. The resulting profit from remeasurement of investment properties of EUR 1,168.4 million (comparative period: EUR 1,119.8 million) was the main driver for the increase compared to 31 December 2021. Furthermore, additions from acquisitions with EUR 364.3 million (including adjustment of the purchase price allocation of a large portfolio acquired from Adler Group S.A. in 2021 of EUR 75.8 million), capitalisation of property modernisation measures with EUR 257.7 million and reclassification to assets held for sale of EUR 33.1 million contributed to the increase of investment properties.
The recognition of real estate tax expense as other inventories (EUR 6.5 million) for the remainder of the financial year, shortterm financial investments (EUR 70.0 million) and the deferral of operating costs not yet billed with the tenants in the amount of EUR 86.4 million contributed significantly to the development of the current assets.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from EUR 365.4 million to EUR 310.2 million compared to the same date of the previous year. This development was mainly due to the cash flow from operating activities (EUR 259.1 million), the utilisation of new loans (EUR 501.1 million) and the issuance of a corporate bond in three tranches to finance investments with EUR 1,482.4 million. In contrast, there are cash outflows from investing activities (EUR 984.7 million), scheduled and unscheduled repayments with EUR 1,428.7 million including the repayment of bridge financing in the amount of EUR 1,400.0 million as well as the cash dividend for the financial year 2021 to shareholders in the amount of EUR 183.3 million.
The development of equity since 31 December 2021 is mainly characterised by the net profit for the period (EUR 1,270.5 million), the dividend payment to shareholders (EUR –296.7 million) as well as the capital increase in connection with the scrip dividend (EUR 113.2 million).
Within non-current financial liabilities the obligations increased through the issued bond in three tranches by EUR 1,500.0 million. Current financial liabilities declined among other things due to the repayment of bridge financing for the acquisition of the Adler portfolio by 1,400.0 million. Driven by the fair value measurement as at 30 June 2022, deferred tax liabilities shown in other noncurrent liabilities increased by EUR 309.7 million. The decrease of pension obligations as well as derivatives for the convertible bond issued in 2017 had an opposite effect.
Further key metrics relevant to the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the relevant key figure. The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2021 annual report.
LEG Immo reports an EPRA NTA of EUR 12,095.5 million or EUR 163.21 per share as at 30 September 2022. Deferred taxes on investment properties are adjusted by the amount attributable to LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis.

1 The calculation was adjusted to the current market standard as of 31 March 2022. The net financial liabilities are reduced by the short-term deposits, the real estate assets are supplemented by the participations in other real estate companies. The figure as at 31 December 2021 was adjusted accordingly.
A net profit for the period of EUR 1,187.6 million was realised in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 1,140.5 million). Equity amounted to EUR 10,038.9 million at the reporting date (31 December 2020: EUR 8,953.0 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 45.0% (31 December 2021: 43.6%).
A condensed form of LEG Immo statement of cash flows for the reporting period is shown below:
| T19 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Statement of cash flows | ||
| € million | 01.01. – 30.09.2022 |
01.01. – 30.09.2021 |
| Cash flow from operating activities | 259.1 | 257.4 |
| Cash flow from investing activities | –984.7 | –745.6 |
| Cash flow from financing activities | 360.2 | 667.9 |
| Change in cash and cash equivalents | –365.4 | 179.7 |
In the reporting period, the increase in cash flow from operating activities resulted from higher net cold rents. Due to increased interest and tax payments as well as rising electricity and heating costs the cashflow from operating activities improved only slightly.
Acquisitions and modernisation work on the existing portfolio with cash payments of EUR 568.0 million and EUR 68.9 million for owneroccupied property contributed to the cash flow from investing activities. In addition, payments from sold assets in the amount of EUR 18.6 million, repayments of short-term financial investments of EUR 70.0 million and the acquisition of further shares in Brack Capital of EUR 293.3 million resulted into a cashflow from investing activities of EUR –984.7 million.
In the first nine months of 2022, the main drivers of the cashflow from financing activities amounting to EUR 360.2 million were the issuance of a corporate bond in three tranches (EUR 1,482.4 million) and in the opposite direction the repayments of bank loans (EUR – 1,428.7 million), in particular a bridge financing in the amount of EUR 1,400.0 million. In addition, new loans were utilised (EUR 501.1 million) and the dividend was paid to shareholders (EUR 183.3 million).
The LEG Group's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.
The risks and opportunities faced by LEG in its operating activities were described in detail in the annual report 2021. To date, no further significant risks that would lead to a different assessment have arisen or become discernible in the fiscal year 2022.
With regard to increased energy costs, especially for gas deliveries, there is a risk of higher payment defaults on the part of tenants. However, the extent of potential payment defaults is currently not considered to be significant. In view of the uncertain supply situation and possible further price increases, increasing payment defaults cannot be ruled out for the future.
Based on the business performance in the first nine months of 2022, LEG confirms and specifies its earnings targets for the financial year 2022. LEG narrows its forecast for FFO I to EUR 475 million to 485 million, thus remaining within the initial range of EUR 475 million to 490 million.
Concerning the LTV, a medium-term target level of 43% is fixed. The previous dividend forecast of 70 % of FFO I is confirmed subject to further market development.
For more details, please refer to the forecast report in the annual report 2021 (page 80).

LEG published a first-time outlook for financial year 2023 with the release of the Q3-2022 results on 10 November 2022.
From financial year 2023, the AFFO will become the most important financial performance indicator. The AFFO was an integral part of the reporting in the past and is defined as FFO I minus capitalised capex. By using AFFO, LEG focusses on a more cashoriented key figure in light of a changed market environment.
In addition, LEG forecasts the adjusted EBITDA margin. The adjustments relate to maintenance, internally procured and capitalised services and non-recurring special effects.
| AFFO | in the range of EUR 110 million to EUR 125 million |
|---|---|
| Adj. EBITDA margin | c. 78% |
| Like-for-like rental growth | 3.3% – 3.7% |
| Investments | c. EUR 35 per sqm |
| LTV | medium-term target level max. 43% |
| Dividend | 100% AFFO as well as a part of net proceeds from disposals – subject to further market development |
Furthermore, and together with the Q3-2022 earnings release, LEG defined the ESG targets for STI 2023 and LTI 2023 – 2026 which shall become part of the management remuneration system.

LEG Immobilien SE, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "LEG Immo"), its subsidiaries, especially LEG NRW GmbH, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "LEG") and the subsidiaries of the latter company (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "LEG Group") are among the largest residential companies in Germany. On 30 September 2022, LEG Group held a portfolio of 168,328 (30 September 2021: 146,976) residential and commercial units on 30 September 2022 (167,834 (30 September 2021: 146,735 ) units excluding IFRS 5 objects).
LEG Group engages in three core activities as an integrated property company: the optimisation of the core business, the expansion of the value chain as well as the portfolio strengthening.
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all figures have been rounded to millions of Euro (EUR million). For technical reasons, tables and references can include rounded figures that differ from the exact mathematical values.
LEG Immo 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 (IFRS IC). 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 Group primarily generates income from the rental and letting of investment properties. Rental and lease business, in essence, is unaffected by seasonal and cyclical influences.
The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo are the same as those presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo as of 31 December 2021. These interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2022 should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021.
The LEG Immo has fully applied the new standards and interpretations that are mandatory from 1 January 2022. The extension of the exemption in IFRS 16 (Covid-19-related rent concessions) do not affect the LEG Group's lease accounting. The optional exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification was not applied at the LEG Group. There were no cases of rent being deferred or waived as a direct result of the corona-virus pandemic for leases where the LEG Group is the lessee.
On 1 February 2022 Renowate GmbH (formerly Ökoconstruct Gesellschaft für energetische Sanierung mbH) was included in the consolidated financial statement under the equity method.
On 14 December 2022 Youtilly GmbH (former pertus 150. GmbH) was acquired and consolidated for the first time as at 1 May 2022.
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. The current macroeconomic and social situation was taken into account in the discretionary decisions. There was no significant impact.
Supply and demand for housing will still be the decisive factors for future price development. In view of the rise in material and staff costs, the shortage of construction material and appropriately qualified staff, rising interest rates and increased requirements in terms of the energetic quality of new buildings combined with a reduction in state subsidies for new construction, it can be assumed that the construction activity will decline and that the existing demand overhang for affordable housing in Germany will widen. The supply deficit, which exists in many areas, is expected to widen and thus ensure that prices for affordable housing will continue to rise in the long term.
Increased energy costs and the CO2 levy are currently making themselves felt in the form of higher, general allowance for operating and heating costs. To ensure that these higher allowances do not ultimately result in a correspondingly higher bad debt loss, LEG is informing its tenants about potential savings opportunities, pointing out possible government assistance and increasingly offering installment payment models in the event of payment bottlenecks. Nonetheless, due to the uncertain supply situation and strongly increased energy prices, higher payment defaults cannot be ruled out for the future.
No developments can be seen at present that would indicate higher vacancies. New lettings continue to develop positively and tenant terminations are at a stable low level. The ongoing influx from Ukraine and the expected demand from skilled workers migrating from abroad could generate additional demand for apartments in the short and medium term. In the event of a severe recession, it could even prove to be an opportunity specifically for LEG Group that the company has a large number of affordable apartments and can thus benefit from increased demand for inexpensive housing in times of recession.
After careful consideration of the information currently available to the LEG Group, we have come to the conclusion that the impact of the energy crisis, the war in Ukraine and the volatile market environment on the LEG Group's rental business should be manageable and may even result in opportunities for the LEG Group.
For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021.
Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022, oil and gas prices have risen. As of 30 September 2022, the oil price was USD 79.49 per barrel and the gas price was 184.00 Euro per MwH. At the same time, the German government, together with the European Union and NATO, decided on far-reaching sanctions against the Russian Federation, including the suspension of the commissioning of Nord Stream 2 and the exclusion of Russian banks from the international payment system SWIFT. In addition, various Western states have decided on and implemented military and financial support for Ukraine. Whether and to what extent further sanctions will be adopted or whether the conflict may intensify further cannot be assessed at present. As a consequence, the Federal Government has tried to reduce the import of fossil fuels from the Russian Federation with great emphasis. However, given the high volume of gas imported from Russia, a full replacement of Russian supplies will take some time. Therefore, the Federal Government has reacted to the observable energy price increases with social policy measures, including the introduction of a one-off energy subsidy. In addition, the Federal Government plans to implement the proposals of the Gas Commission, which provide for a one-off payment for gas and district heating customers in December 2022 based on the consumption of the September 2022 down payment, as well as a gas and heating price brake from 1 January 2023 for industrial consumers and from 1 March 2023 for private consumers. In the short term, therefore, no impact is expected on the LEG Group's business model.
As higher energy costs are expected to lead to higher subsequent payments for utility consumption and higher ancillary costs in the future, this may result in higher rent and utility cost defaults in the medium term. LEG has already taken precautions against this risk by providing comprehensive information to tenants (encouragement to save energy, build up financial reserves, support in applying for housing subsidies, possibility of agreeing instalment payments). If energy prices remain high in the long term, this could have a negative impact on Germany as an industrial location, which in turn could have a negative impact on LEG's business model. However, no reliable estimates can be made in this regard from today's perspective.
In recent months, inflation expectations for Germany and the Eurozone have increased significantly to 10.0% for 2022. This goes along with increased construction prices and higher energy costs. These developments have recently been further reinforced by the war in Ukraine. Higher construction prices may have a negative impact on the profitability of planned new construction projects and capex investments in LEG's existing portfolio. Higher energy costs are passed on to LEG's customers in their utility bills. In order to ease the burden on consumers, the Federal government passed various laws on 27 April 2022, paving the way for government transfers such as the energy price flat rate or a temporary reduction in the energy tax on fuels to counteract payment difficulties. In response to the rising inflation rate, the ECB initially raised the key interest rate to 0.5% on 21 July 2022. On 14 September 2022 and 27 October 2022, there were further increases in the key interest rate of 0.75% each to a total of 2.0%. This expectation was already reflected on the capital market by rising interest rates and higher credit spreads. For example, the 5-year Euro swap rate has risen significantly since the end of December 2021 from 0.017% to 2.97% on 30 September 2022. Due to the currently limited financing requirements as well as the sustained high demand for German residential properties, LEG does not expect any significant negative impact on its business model in the short term. In the medium and long term, increased interest rates and credit spreads may result in higher financing costs and a lower credit rating for LEG Immo, reduce the profitability of investments and impact the FFO. The exact effects cannot be predicted in concrete terms at present due to the highly dynamic nature of the situation. With regard to property valuations, the high volatility on the interest and capital markets does not currently allow any precise forecasts to be made, although declines in transaction prices have recently been observed and could be reflected in the valuation in the second half of the year.
On 30 September 2022, LEG Group held 166,758 apartments and 1,570 commercial units in its portfolio (167,834 units excluding IFRS 5 objects).

Investment properties were remeasured most recently by LEG Group as of the interim reporting date of 30 June 2022. No further fair value adjustment was made as at 30 September 2022. With regard to the calculation methods and parameters, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021.
Important market developments and measurement parameters affecting the market values of LEG Immo are reviewed each quarter. If necessary, the property portfolio is revalued. As at 30 September 2022, the results of this review did not require any value adjustment. Due to the macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, the energy crisis and the rise in interest rates as of the reporting date, there are no observable effects on the market, which could affected the long-term value of the property portfolio. However, in view of the significant rise in interest rates and the high level of restraint on the transaction market, it can be assumed that property values will decline overall in the second half of the year.
The table below shows the measurement method used to determine the fair value of investment properties and the material unobservable inputs used as of 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021:

In addition, LEG Group'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 22.9 million as of 30 September 2022 (31 December 2021: EUR 27.4 million). The right of uses results 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 2.6 million have been added.

As at 30 June 2022, an impairment test was carried out for the five CGU groups bearing goodwill. The significant increase in interest rates in the first half of 2022 and the associated increase in the average total cost of capital has been identified as a triggering event in accordance with IAS 36.
The impairment test carried out resulted in an impairment loss of EUR 99.6 million, which led to a full write-down of the goodwill allocated to all goodwill-bearing CGUs. The impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the amount of EUR 58.9 million as depreciation and amortisation in cost of sales in connection with rental and lease income and in the amount of EUR 40.7 million as depreciation and amortisation in administrative and other expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of bank balances as well as money market funds.
Changes in the components of consolidated equity are shown in the statement of changes in consolidated equity.
Financing liabilities are composed as follows:
T32
| € million | 30.09.2022 | 31.12.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Financing liabilities from real estate financing | 9,346.5 | 8,767.8 |
| Financing liabilities from lease financing | 114.1 | 117.3 |
| Financing liabilities | 9,460.6 | 8,885.1 |
Financing liabilities from property financing serve the financing of investment properties.
The consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo reported financial liabilities from real estate financing of EUR 9,346.5 million as at 30 September 2022.
In the first three quarters of 2022, the issuance of a corporate bond in three tranches with IFRS carrying amounts of EUR 497.7 million, EUR 497.1 million and EUR 499.2 million increased financial liabilities from real estate financing. In addition, loans in the amount of EUR 496.1 million were valued. Scheduled and unscheduled repayments of EUR 1,428.4 million and the amortisation of transaction costs had an opposite effect.
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 | 529.3 | 550.0 |
| Convertible bond 2017/2025 | 393.0 | 400.0 |
| Bond 2022/2026 | 497.7 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2029 | 497.1 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2034 | 499.2 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2032 | 495.9 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2031 | 595.8 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2021/2033 | 596.4 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2019/2033 | 299.6 | 300.0 |
| Bond 2019/2027 | 499.8 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2017/2024 | 503.0 | 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 financing liabilities from lease financing results mainly from a decrease in lease liabilities relating to buildings and cars. Already concluded leases starting after the reporting date will arise cash outflows in the amount of EUR 0.9 million.
The main drivers for the changes in maturity of financing liabilities as against 31 December 2021 are the issuance of the corporate bond in three tranches with a total nominal value of EUR 1,500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 1,494.0 million), which increased the medium and long-term residual maturities in particular. Current short term financial liabilities decreased due to the repayment of the interim financing in the amount of EUR 1,400.0 million.

| 31.12.2021 | 1,508.2 | 2,808.2 | 4,451.4 | 8,767.8 |
Net rental and lease income is broken down as follows:
T35
| € million | 01.01.– 30.09.2022 |
01.01.– 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cold rent | 596.6 | 509.7 |
| Profit from operating expenses | –5.2 | –0.5 |
| Maintenance for externally procured services | –50.9 | –43.6 |
| Staff costs | –79.8 | –61.5 |
| Allowances on rent receivables | –12.4 | –5.8 |
| Depreciation and amortisation expenses | –67.6 | –8.2 |
| Other | 19.6 | 17.2 |
| Net rental and lease income | 400.3 | 407.3 |
| Net operating income – margin (in %) | 67.1 | 79.9 |
| Special one-off effects – rental and lease | 9.0 | 4.5 |
| Depreciation and amortisation expenses | 67.6 | 8.2 |
| Adjusted net rental and lease income | 476.9 | 420.0 |
| Adjusted net operating income – margin (in %) | 79.9 | 82.4 |
In the reporting period, net rental and lease income decreased by EUR 7.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development is the amortisation of goodwill in the amount of EUR 58.9 million as part of the impairment test due to increased interest rates. In addition, an increase in the number of employees mainly in connection with acquisitions made in 2021 led to an increase in staff costs of EUR 18.3 million. The allowances on rent receivables increased by EUR 6.6 million, in particular due to the increased volume of operating expenses that have not yet been invoiced. This was countered by the rise in net cold rents by EUR 86.9 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 3.2% in the reporting period.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly from 82.4 % to 79.9% in the reporting period.
In the reporting period the following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included.
| € million | 01.01.– 30.09.2022 |
01.01.– 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Right of use buildings | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Right of use technical equipment and machinery | 3.0 | 3.6 |
| Right of use operating and office equipment | 2.3 | 1.9 |
| Depreciation expense of leases | 5.5 | 5.7 |
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 rental and lease income (comparable period: EUR 0.4 million).
Net income from the disposal of investment properties is composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01.– 30.09.2022 |
01.01.– 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Income from the disposal of investment | 38.9 | 28.3 |
| Carrying amount of the disposal of investment properties | –39.2 | –28.3 |
| Costs of sales of investment properties | –0.9 | –0.7 |
| Net income from the disposal of investment properties | –1.2 | –0.7 |
The remeasurement of investment properties was conducted as of 30 June 2022. There were minor changes in the third quarter 2022 due to the remeasurement of the assets held for sale according to IFRS 5.
Net income from remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR 1,168.4 million in the reporting period which corresponds to a 6.1% rise (including the remeasured acquisitions) compared to the start of the financial year.
The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) is EUR 1,839 per square metre including acquisitions (31 December 2021: EUR 1,706 per square metre).
Administrative and other expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.09.2022 |
01.01. – 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Other operating expenses | –18.6 | –12.9 |
| Staff costs | –20.8 | –20.1 |
| Purchased services | –1.8 | –0.9 |
| Depreciation and amortisation | –43.6 | –2.9 |
| Administratve and other expenses | –84.8 | –36.8 |
| Depreciation and amortisation | 43.6 | 2.9 |
| Special one-off effects | 11.6 | 7.4 |
| Adjusted administrative and other expenses | –29.6 | –26.5 |
The increase in other operating expenses is mainly attributable to higher consultancy fees. Higher depreciation and amortisation expenses are due to the impairment of goodwill in the amount of EUR 40.7 million. The adjusted administrative expenses increased by EUR 3.1 million or 11.7% in the first nine months compared to the same period in the previous year.
In the reporting period, the following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included:
| € million | 01.01.– 30.09.2022 |
01.01.– 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Right of use buildings | 0.9 | 1.5 |
| Right of use operating and office equipment | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Right of use software | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Depreciation of leases | 1.3 | 1.9 |
Interest expenses
Interest expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.09.2022 |
01.01. – 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expenses from real estate financing | –75.3 | –55.1 |
| Interest expense from loan amortisation | –18.1 | –12.5 |
| Prepayment penalty | 0.0 | –2.0 |

| Interest expense from change in pension provisions | –0.9 | –0.5 |
| Interest expense from interest on other assets and liabilities | –0.1 | –0.1 |
| Interest expenses from lease financing | –1.7 | –1.5 |
| Other interest expenses | –2.7 | –6.6 |
| Interest expenses | –103.4 | –84.5 |
The increase in interest expenses and loan amortisation in the reporting period is mainly attributable to the newly issued corporate bonds.
The decrease in other interest expenses is mainly due to the redemption of an interest rate derivative, which resulted in a one-time effect of EUR 4.5 million in the comparative period. As a result of the redemption, interest expenses from interest derivatives for real estate financing decreased in the reporting period.
| € million | 01.01.– 30.09.2022 |
01.01.– 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Current tax expenses | –1.6 | –3.4 |
| Deferred tax expenses | –293.6 | –274.7 |
| Income tax expenses | –295.2 | –278.1 |
An effective Group tax rate of 20.4% was assumed in the reporting period in accordance with Group tax planning (previous year: 19.4%). Current tax expenses include EUR –0.1 million income taxes relating to other periods. These relate to the release of corporate tax and trade tax provisions for the years 2018–2020.
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.
Due to the granting of stock dividends for the financial year 2021, a capital increase was carried out on 21 June 2022. A total of 1,269,651 new shares were issued.

| Intermedia result in € | 14.21 | 14.34 |
| Diluted earnings per share in € | 14.21 | 14.34 |
As at 30 September 2022, LEG Immo had convertible bonds outstanding, which authorise the bearer to convert it 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.
As a result of the revision of internal management reporting, LEG Group has no longer been managed as two segments since the 2016 financial year. Since then LEG Group has operated in only one segment. It generates its revenue and holds its assets solely in Germany. In the 2022 financial year, LEG Group did not generate more than 10% of reported total revenue with any customer.
Over and beyond the minimum disclosures required in IFRS 8, the key performance indicators of the company are explained and presented below. These correspond to the management and reporting system which LEG Immo uses for corporate management and offer a deeper insight into the economic performance of our company.
Internal reporting at LEG Group deviates from the IFRS accounting figures. LEG focuses its internal reports particularly on the important FFO performance indicator and further financial key figures for the housing industry, i. e., EPRA NTA and LTV. The alternative performance measures presented below are not based on IFRS figures, with the exception of the comments on LTV.
FFO I is the key financial performance indicator of LEG Group. LEG Group distinguishes between FFO I (not including net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex).
FFO I, FFO II and AFFO were calculated as follows in the reporting period and the same period of the previous year:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.09.2022 |
01.01. – 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cold rent | 596.6 | 509.7 |
| Profit from operating expenses | –5.2 | –0.5 |
| Maintenance for externally procured services | –50.9 | –43.6 |
| Staff costs | –79.8 | –61.5 |
| Allowances on rent receivables | –12.4 | –5.8 |
| Other | 19.6 | 17.2 |
| Special one-off effects (rental and lease) | 9.0 | 4.5 |
| Recurring net rental and lease income | 476.9 | 420.0 |
| Recurring net income from other services | 11.4 | 7.1 |
| Staff costs | –20.8 | –20.1 |
| Non-staff operating costs | –20.4 | –13.8 |
| Special one-off effects (admin.) | 11.6 | 7.4 |
| Recurring administrative expenses | –29.6 | –26.5 |
| Recurring other income and expenses | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 458.7 | 400.6 |
| Cash interest expenses and income | –82.4 | –64.1 |
| Cash income taxes from rental and lease | – | –0.7 |
| FFO I (before adjustment of non-controlling interests) | 376.3 | 335.8 |
| Adjustment of non-controlling interests | –2.0 | –1.6 |
| FFO I (after adjustment of non-controlling interests) | 374.3 | 334.2 |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding | 73,309,866 | 72,363,118 |
| FFO I per share | 5.11 | 4.62 |
| Net income from the disposal of investment properties | 0.9 | 0.5 |
| Cash income taxes from disposal of investment properties | –2.0 | –2.7 |
| FFO II (incl. disposal of investment properties) | 373.2 | 332.0 |
| Capex | –259.7 | –230.0 |
| Capex-adjusted FFO I (AFFO) | 114.6 | 104.2 |
The direct calculation of FFO I is aligned to the cost of sales method.
To ensure comparability with previous periods, EBITDA and FFO are adjusted for non-recurring special effects. Adjustments are made for all matters which are not attributable to the period from an operations perspective and which have a not insignificant impact on EBITDA and FFO. These special one-off effects comprise project costs for business model and process optimisation, personnel-related matters, acquisition and integration costs, capital market financing measures and M&A activities as well as other atypical matters and are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.09.2022 |
01.01. – 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Project costs to optimise the business model and processes | 3.1 | 5.0 |
| Staff related costs | 2.9 | 3.3 |
| Acquisition and integration related costs | 8.9 | 1.4 |
| Capital market financing and M&A activities | 2.1 | 1.7 |
| Other atypical matters | 3.6 | 0.5 |
| Special one-off effects | 20.6 | 11.9 |
EBITDA adjusted for these special effects is further adjusted in FFO I for cash interest expenses and income, cash taxes and non-controlling interests.
Cash interest expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. – 30.09.2022 |
01.01. – 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expense reported in income statement | 103.0 | 84.5 |
| Interest expense related to loan amortisation | –18.1 | –12.5 |
| Interest costs related to the accretion of other assets/liabilities | –0.1 | –0.1 |
| Interest expenses related to changes in pension provisions | –0.9 | –0.5 |
| Other interest expenses | –1.1 | –7.2 |
| Cash effective interest expense (gross) | 82.8 | 64.2 |
| Cash effective interest income | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Cash effecitve interest expense (net) | 82.8 | 64.2 |
Capex in the context of the AFFO reconciliation includes additions to investment properties amounting to EUR 267.7 million as well as additions to property, plant and equipment amounting to EUR 1.9 million.
The calculation of FFO I, FFO II and AFFO according to the indirect method for the reporting and comparison period is as follows:
| € million | 01.01.– 30.09.2022 |
01.01.– 30.09.2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit or loss for the period | 1,187.5 | 1,140.5 |

The EPRA capex splits the capitalised expenditure of the reporting period in comparison to the comparative period and reconciles to investments for investment properties. The value-adding modernisation work, divided into development (new development on own land in an amount of EUR 17.0 million) and investments in investment properties (EUR 250.7 million), increased to EUR 267.7 million in the reporting period. Including acquisitions of EUR 288.5 million, the EPRA Capex amounted to EUR 556.2 million in the reporting period.
| € million | 01.01.– 30.09.2022 |

Further key metrics relevant in the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the relevant key figure. The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2021 annual report.
LEG Immo reports an EPRA NTA of EUR 12,095.5 million or EUR 163.21 per share as at 30 September 2022. Deferred taxes on investment properties are adjusted by the amount attributable to LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis.

1 Taking the ancillary acquisition costs into account would result into an NTA of EUR 14,100.4 million or EUR 190.26 per share.
In calculating the EPRA NTA, LEG Immo aligns itself to the Best Practice Recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).
The liabilities from purchase price obligations from share deals are reported as effects on equity from the exercise of options, convertible bonds and other rights (hybrid instruments) amounting to EUR 29.9 million.
Deferred taxes resulting from the measurement of investment properties and of publicly subsidised loans and of derivatives are corrected at the level of their impact on equity. Deferred taxes relating to the planned sales programme are not included in calculating EPRA NTA. As at 30 September 2022, these amounted to EUR 2,364.7 million.
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 in the "Effects of the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments". As at 30 September 2022, these effects total EUR –104.3 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. As at 30 September 2022, these effects total EUR 203.7 million (31. December 2021: EUR 370.7 million). The decrease compared to 31 December 2021 is due to the adjustment of the preliminary purchase price allocation from the transaction with the Adler Group and the impairment as of 30 June 2022.
In addition, all recognised intangible assets are eliminated. As at 30 September 2022 these totalled EUR 4.7 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 increased slightly compared with 31 December 2021, which resulted in a loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 42.3% at the interim reporting date (31 December 2021: 42.1%).

1 The calculation was adjusted to the current market standard as of 31 March 2022. The net financial liabilities are reduced by the short-term deposits, the real estate assets are supplemented by the participations in other real estate companies. The figure as at 31 December 2021 was adjusted accordingly.
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 Immo. In the case of modernisations which are capitalised as value-enhancing measures, Capex represents the initial value, which is adjusted for the effects of the elimination of intercompany profits.

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 in struments 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 September 2022, the fair value of the very small equity investments was EUR 335.2 million (previous year: EUR 13.8 million). The increase was mainly due to the purchase of an equity investment in Brack Capital Properties N.V. with a value of EUR 317.0 million.
The fair value of the investment in Brack Capital Properties of EUR 317.0 million and the fair value of the other very small equity investments in listed companies are allocated to Level 1 of the measurement hierarchy, as there is an active market for the shares.
The fair value of the very small equity investments is calculated using 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 4.8% (previous year: 4.2%).
As at 30 September 2022, the fair value of the very small Level 3 equity investments was EUR 18.2 million. The stress test of this parameter on the basis of plus 50 bp results in a reduction of the fair value to EUR 16.6 million (previous year: EUR 12.5 million) and at minus 50 bp in an increase of the fair value to EUR 20.2 million (previous year: EUR 15.5 million).
Please see the IFRS consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021 for the presentation of the IFRS 2 programmes for long-term incentive Management Board agreements.
As of 30 September 2022, contingent liabilities increased by EUR 407.5 million compared with 31 December 2021, in particular due to guarantee declarations to secure unsecured financing within the LEG Group.
There were no changes to the composition of the Management Board as at 30 September 2022 compared with the disclosures as at 31 December 2021.
The term of office of all Supervisory Board members ended at the close of the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2022, whereby Stefan Jütte and Dr Johannes Ludewig were not available for a further term of office due to their age.
By resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2022, Dr Sylvia Eichelberg, Dr Claus Nolting, Dr Jochen Scharpe, Mr. Martin Wiesmann and Mr. Michael Zimmer were reappointed as members of the Supervisory Board. Dr Katrin Suder was appointed as a member of the LEG Immo Supervisory Board for the first time.
The acquisition of a property portfolio of around 376 residential units was notarised on 14 September 2022. The portfolio generates annual net cold rent of around EUR 1.91 million. The average in-place rent is around EUR 8.33 per square metre and the initial vacancy rate is around 4.9%. It is expected the transaction will be closed on 1 January 2023. The portfolio acquisition does not constitute a business combination as defined by IFRS 3.
As part of the portfolio streamlining, 339 residential units were sold in Bad Oldesloe and Siegen in September 2022 for EUR 18.3 million. It is expected the transaction will be closed on 1 December 2022.
On 14 October 2022, LEG entered into a syndicated revolving credit facility of EUR 600.0 million and at the same time cancelled previously existing working capital lines of EUR 385.0 million.
In view of persistently high electricity prices and the resulting profits for operators of power plants, the federal government is also planning to skim off so-called "windfall profits" by means of a revenue cap. The exact form this will take is still open, but it is expected that such a cap for electricity from plants that are not gas-fired will be EUR 180 / MWh. The revenues of the BMHKW Siegerland could also be affected by this levy. The revenues from this levy are to be used to finance a nationwide electricity price brake, which will ensure that end consumers can purchase electricity at a capped price of probably 40 ct/ kWh for a basic consumption from 1 January 2023. The recent electricity price increases, which were also felt by LEG Immo customers, would thus be partially limited, but cannot be completely avoided.
There were no other significant events after the end of the interim reporting period on 30 September 2022.
