LEG Immobilien SE Shift to a more defensive set-up during an uncertain period

Background on new steering KPIs

18 November 2022

Old and new definition of key KPIs Adjusting steering whilst uncertainties remain

New definition No change

Current net rental and lease income / adj. NOI

NEW

NOI

    • Maintenance for externally procured services
  • ./. Own work capitalised
  • RATIONALE

Focus on topline impact, disregarding of capitalisation rate and internal vs. external commissioning

Adjusted EBITDA

NEW

EBITDA

    • Maintenance for externally procured services
  • ./. Own work capitalised

RATIONALE

Based on adjusted NOI

FFO I

No change

Capex

  • No change
  • Adj. Capex
    • Adj. Maintenance
    • New development1
    • Own work capitalised

AFFO

No change – adjustment in case of subsidised loans

FFO I

./. Capex

./. Subsidised investments, i.e. financed via subsidised loans or grant

RATIONALE

Enablement of investments in CO2 reduction and/ or innovation

  • In order to increase focus on cashflow, LEG has switched from the FFO I to the AFFO as key performance indicator
    • AFFO as cashflow proxy and less volatile than operating cashflow
  • The steering of the operations team has been amended accordingly
  • Adjustment of NOI also for maintenance part to avoid focus on capitalisation rate
  • Deduction of own work capitalised to avoid focus on internal vs external commissioning
  • Adjusted EBITDA reflects the changes made to NOI, as it is based on the NEW adjusted NOI calculation
  • FFO I remains unchanged
  • AFFO unchanged in principle but adjusted by future subsidised investments

NOI adjustment triggers new adjusted EBITDA definition

9M-2022 31.12.2021

FFO I unchanged and AFFO adjusted for subsidised investments from FY2023 onwards

Steering based on AFFO requires separation of operating cash generation from investment spending:

  • Maintenance for externally procured services
  • Own work capitalised (part of Other)

are adjusted within new EBITDA set-up

Effects:

  • FFO I (no longer core KPI) remains unchanged and will be still reported
  • Capex unchanged
  • AFFO adjusted for future subsidised investments

New Steering

Additional information regarding capitalisation ratio

  • IAS 40 which regulates the accounting of investment property does not specify requirements in respect to the treatment of maintenance costs and/or capitalisation of modernisation costs
  • IAS 16 is applied and allows the capitalisation of costs if the measures
    • Prolong the life time of the building
    • Improve the quality of the building/ unit
    • Reduce operating costs
    • Allow for rent increases
  • Regular small repair jobs like painting walls, fixing leaking water taps etc. which are not seen as value enhancing are treated as maintenance and fully expensed
  • IFRS does not provide specific € amounts to be used to distinguish between expensed vs capitalised investments as different real estate sub sectors (e.g. residential vs. office vs. logistic) require different levels of maintenance and modernisation in respect to scale and scope of investment, technical requirements and time frame of the measure
  • Detailed catalogue of measures agreed with auditor based on IFRS criteria, catalogue has NOT been amended as a result of the new steering
  • Differentiation between turn cost measures and modernisation measures on an individual basis
  • Example: Turn cost investments above a specific investment level to be fully capitalised
    • In an FFO I world this sets the incentive for larger investments
    • In an AFFO world this sets the incentive to reduce cash outflows

LEG has NOT changed its accounting policy

– the reduced capitalisation rate is the consequence of the new cashflow focus
