Fundamentals of the Group
Business model
Adler Group S.A. is a residential real estate company which – through its more than 500 subsidiaries – holds and manages approximately 25,800 rental units, primarily based in Berlin and North-Rhine-Westphalia. This rental portfolio is valued at EUR 4.8 billion. Besides the rental portfolio, Adler Group owns a portfolio of development projets in some of the larger cities in Germany valued at EUR 1.7 billion. In agreement with the bondholders under the terms of the Restructuring Plan, these development projects shall be sold – some sales processes have already begun, others are to be initiated.
Hence, the Adler Group's business model focuses on asset and portfolio management, property and facility management, aiming at improving operating results by increasing rents and decreasing vacancies in its existing portfolio. The portfolio shall be further optimised depending on opportunities or necessities.
Our 662 operational employees are based in Luxembourg and in several locations across Germany in order to bring Adler Group as close as possible to assets and tenants.
Objectives and strategy
Focus on active management of our portfolio to grow earnings and improve EBITDA margins.
Adler Group focuses on increasing rents through active asset management and targeted investments to modernise, refurbish and re-position properties, while constantly screening and anticipating developments in different sub-markets. In order to realise upside potential, Adler Group pursues regular rent increases up to the market levels within the regulatory and legal limits without CapEx investment. In addition, Adler Group continuously reviews rent potentials and pursues growth beyond the rent tables through targeted CapEx investments to modernise, refurbish and/or re-position properties. Vacancies are
RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PORTFOLIO 25,784 units OPERATIONAL EMPLOYEES 662 people
kept low through active marketing tailored to the respective micro-location.
As apartments are typically renovated to market standard after a tenant has moved out, Adler Group is in the position to rent vacant apartments to higher quality tenants and thus to continuously improve the tenant structure and average rent.
Optimise the portfolio and recycle capital through selective investments and disposals.
By disposing of non-core assets, Adler Group aims to streamline the rental portfolio and to focus on mid and large-size cities where a critical mass of assets can be managed thereby improving profitability and portfolio KPIs. When selling selected assets, Adler Group aims to sell at or around book value and has supporting documents proving it has been able to do so in the past, thus demonstrating the resilience of the German residential real estate market. Active capital recycling enables Adler Group to reduce leverage and ultimately to improve its capital structure.
Committed to adding value through refurbishment and modernisation.
Investing selected CapEx in refurbishment and modernisation measures in the existing portfolio will elevate the quality of the rental portfolio, improve energy efficiency in line with sustainability targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus add value overall.
Changes in the Board of Directors
The Board develops the strategic direction of the Company together with the Senior Management and ensures its implementation. The Board is vested with the broadest powers to take any necessary or useful actions to fulfil the corporate objectives of the Company, save for actions reserved by law to the General Meeting.
The Company further improved its Corporate Governance by enlarging its Board of Directors as the main governing body with the addition of two independent Board members and one non-independent Board member, also in compliance with its established Restructuring Plan. The annual General Meeting (AGM) on 21 June 2023 approved with an overwhelming majority the appointment of Thomas Echelmeyer as non-independent member of the Board of Directors in addition to his current role as CFO of Adler Group. Dr. Heiner Arnoldi and Stefan Brendgen were appointed as additional independent Board members.
Together with Prof. Dr. A. Stefan Kirsten, Thierry Beaudemoulin (also CEO of Adler Group), Thilo Schmid and Thomas Zinnöcker, Adler Group's Board of Directors now consists of seven individuals, five of whom are independent, all with extensive expertise in corporate governance, real estate, finance, restructuring and capital markets.
Committees established by the Board
The Board's work takes place through plenary sessions and committees, which exercise their activities under the responsibility of the Board. Currently, the Company has five committees:
- The Audit Committee,
- the Nomination and Compensation Committee,
- the Investment Committee,
- the Financing Committee and
- the Ad hoc Committee.
The purpose, responsibilities and duties of each committee are described in the Annual Report. The former Investment and Financing Committee has been split into two committees, the Investment Committee and the Financing Committee.

Portfolio overview(*)
(*) All values include ground floor commercial units and exclude units under renovation and development projects.
(**)Annualised net rental income.
In addition to the financial performance indicators, Adler Group also uses the following non-financial operating performance indicators.
The vacancy rate shows the ratio of m² of vacant units in the portfolio to total m² of the portfolio. Vacancy rate is used as an indicator of the current letting performance.
The in-place rent per m² provides an insight into the average rental income from the rented properties. It serves as an indicator of the current letting performance.
The like-for-like rental growth is the change rate of the net rents generated by the like-for-like residential portfolio over the last 12 months.
All of the above-described non-financial performance indicators are key drivers for the development of rental income.
The total amounts spent on maintenance and CapEx in relation to the total lettable area of the portfolio are further operational figures to ensure an appropriate level of investment in the real estate portfolio.

Adler Group's fully integrated active asset management is focused on rental growth and employs dedicated strategies to drive all relevant components. In units that require modernisation, Adler Group invests CapEx to improve quality to meet today's standards and regulations. Applying the relevant regulatory framework accurately and efficiently is key to successfully maximising rental growth for let units.

Financial Overview
Financial performance indicators
As outlined at various places in this report (e.g., refer to the section "Material Events"), Adler Group has been exposed to a crisis that was partly self-inflicted and largely caused by external factors throughout the financial year 2022. The crisis itself manifested in liquidity constraints, lack of financing capacities and dried real estate markets that made portfolio sales almost impossible. By coping with this crisis, management decided to focus on always preserving enough liquidity as well as on net rental income as the main key performance indicators. The other financial performance indicators outlined below were not suspended but were followed with a much lower focus than usual. Consequently, we waive the explicit description of the below listed financial performance indicators.
The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) changed its definition of net asset value (NAV) in October 2019 and it was applied for the first time in the 2020 financial year. The key figures NAV and NNNAV have been replaced by three new figures: Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), Net Tangible Asset (NTA) and Net Disposal Value (NDV).
In addition to the new EPRA NAV metrics, we continue to show EPRA NAV based on the previous EPRA Best Practice Recommendations (BPRs).
EPRA NAV represents the fair value of net assets on an ongoing, long-term basis. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances, such as the fair value of financial hedging derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses, are therefore excluded. Similarly, trading properties are adjusted to their fair value under the EPRA NAV measure.
EPRA NAV makes adjustments to IFRS NAV to provide stakeholders with the most relevant information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities within a true real estate investment company with a long-term investment strategy.
Adler Group has an outstanding convertible bond, which might be converted into equity at maturity. To take this fact into account, we present all the NAV metrics on a diluted basis as well which includes the fair value of the convertible bond and the fully diluted number of shares at the corresponding reporting date.
Calculation of EPRA NAV
Total equity attributable to owners of the Company
- (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
- (–) Fair value of financial instruments2)
- (–) Deferred taxes3)
= EPRA NAV
1) Difference between inventories carried in the balance sheet at cost (IAS 2) and the fair value of inventories.
2) Fair value of financial instruments that are used for hedging purposes where the Company has the intention of keeping the hedge position until the end of the contractual duration.
3) For EPRA NAV and EPRA NRV: Deferred tax as per the IFRS balance sheet in respect of the difference between the fair value and the tax book value of investment property, development property held for investment, intangible assets, or other non-current investments. For EPRA NTA: Only deferred taxes relating to the proportion of the portfolio that is intended to be held in the long-run and not sold are excluded.
The objective of the EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances, such as the fair value movements on financial hedging derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses, are therefore excluded. Since the indicator also aims at reflecting what would be needed to recreate the Company through the investment markets based on its current capital and financing structure, related costs (such as real estate transfer taxes) are included.
Calculation of EPRA NRV
Total equity attributable to owners of the Company
- (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
- (–) Fair value of financial instruments2)
- (–) Deferred taxes3)
- (+) Real estate transfer tax4)
= EPRA NRV
4) For EPRA NRV: Real Estate Transfer Tax on investment properties is the gross value as provided in the valuation certificate (i.e., the value prior to any deduction of purchasers' costs). For EPRA NTA: The Company has a history of successfully completing share deals; and there is a reasonable expectation that the Company can also do so in the future. Therefore, transfer tax optimisation adjustment has been used by applying the implied average transfer tax consistently achieved in the past.
The underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability.
Calculation of EPRA NTA
Total equity attributable to owners of the Company
- (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
- (–) Fair value of financial instruments2)
- (–) Deferred taxes3)
- (–) Goodwill
- (+) Real estate transfer tax4)
= EPRA NTA
EPRA Net Disposal Value presents a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability, including tax exposure not reflected in the balance sheet, net of any resulting tax. This measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" because, in many cases, fair values do not represent liquidation values.
Calculation of EPRA NDV
Total equity attributable to owners of the Company
- (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
- (–) Fair value of fixed interest rate debt5)
- (–) Goodwill
= EPRA NDV
5) The difference between the fair value of fixed interest rate debt and book value included in the balance sheet as per IFRS.
NOI (net operating income) equals total revenue from the property portfolio less all reasonably necessary operating expenses. Aside from rent, a property might also generate revenue from parking and service fees. NOI is used to track the real estate portfolio's capability of generating income.
EBITDA from rental activities is an indicator of a company's financial performance and is calculated by deducting the overhead costs from NOI. It is used as a proxy to assess the recurring earnings potential of the letting business.
EBITDA Total can be derived by adding the net profit from project development activities, the fair value gain from build-to-hold development and the net profit from privatisations to EBITDA from rental activities.
In addition, we present the NOI margin from rental activities – calculated as NOI divided by net rental income, as well as EBITDA margin from rental activities – calculated as EBITDA from rental activities divided by net rental income. These metrics are useful to analyse the operational efficiency at real estate portfolio level as well as at Company level.
Calculation of EBITDA (from rental activities)

- (+) Income from facility services and recharged utilities costs
- = Income from rental activities
- (–) Cost from rental activities6)
- = Net operating income (NOI) from rental activities
- (–) Overhead costs from rental activities7)
= EBITDA from rental activities
6) Cost from rental activities is the aggregate amount of (a) Salaries and other expenses related to rental activities; (b) Net cost of utilities recharged; and (c) Property operations and maintenance, excluding one-off costs. Adjustments for one-off costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
7) Overhead costs from rental activities represent the "General and administrative expenses" from the profit or loss statement excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation relating to rental activities. Adjustments for oneoff costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective like impairment losses on trade receivables.

8) Other operational costs from development and privatisation sales is the aggregate amount of (a) Costs of real estate inventories disposed of; (b) Costs of property development; and (c) Costs of selling of trading property (condominiums) excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation. Adjustments for oneoff costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
9) Overhead costs from development and privatisation sales represent the "General and administrative expenses" from the profit or loss statement excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation excluding costs relating to rental activities. Adjustments for one-off costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
10) Profit from portfolio sales includes the disposals of IAS 40 properties. This position compares the proceeds generated from the disposal with the last recognised book value and also deducts the related costs of this sale.
11) Our internally developed build-to-hold portfolio allows the Company to generate fair value gain.
12) Net cash interest is equal to "Interest on other loans and borrowings", excluding day-1 fair value non-cash adjustment and interest capitalised for development projects, plus the nominal interest expense on bonds.
13) Other net financial costs is equal to the total "Net finance costs" from the profit or loss statement less "Net cash interest" as calculated in footnote 11) above.
14) Other expenses/income relates to adjustments for one-off costs which include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.
15) Net income from at-equity valued investment from the profit and loss statement.
Starting with EBITDA from rental activities, we calculate the main performance figure in the sector, the FFO 1 (from rental activities). This KPI serves as an indicator of the sustained operational earnings power after cash interest expenses and current income taxes of our letting business.
Calculation of FFO 1 (from rental activities)
EBITDA from rental activities
(–) Net cash interest relating to rental activities16)
(–) Current income taxes relating to rental activities17)
(–) Interest of minority shareholders18)
= FFO 1 (from rental activities)
16) Net cash interest relating to rental activities is equal to "Interest on other loans and borrowings" relating to rental activities, excluding day-1 fair value noncash adjustment, plus the nominal interest expense on bonds.
17) Only current income taxes relating to rental activities.
18) Interest of minority shareholders in Adler's subsidiary Brack Capital Properties N.V. ("BCP") as Adler's share is only 62.78% as at 31 December 2022.
Starting from EBITDA Total, we calculate FFO 2 (incl. disposal results and development activities). FFO 2 is used to indicate the total operational earnings power.

EPRA has introduced a new metric, the EPRA loan-to-value (LTV) ratio which has been included in the EPRA Best Practices Recommendations (BPR) Guidelines 2022, as part of the EPRA Performance Measures which become effective in 2022.
The Adler Group LTV has been replaced by EPRA LTV and will be reported from the publication of the 2022 Annual Report onwards. EPRA LTV illustrates the relationship between net debt and total property value of a real estate company and thus evaluates the gearing of shareholder equity.

We believe that the alternative performance measures described in this section constitute the most important indicators for measuring the operating and financial performance of the Group's business.
We expect all of the above-described alternative performance measures to be useful for our investors when evaluating the Group's operating performance, the net value of the Group's property portfolio and the level of the Group's indebtedness.
Due to rounding, the figures reported in tables and cross-references may deviate from their exact values as calculated.
Profit situation
EBITDA from rental activities decreased in H1 2023 compared to 2022 mainly as a result of the Eastern Portfolio disposal to KKR/Velero and the Waypoint portfolio disposal, respectively. These assets had still contributed to the H1 2022 result. However, the decrease in EBITDA from rental activities in H1 2023 was mitigated by rent increases and low vacancy ratios.
EBITDA Total decreased in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022 mainly due to higher operational costs from development and privatisation sales. The reasons behind this are lower earnings due to construction delays and increased development costs.
For the first six months of 2023, FFO 1 amounts to EUR 8.2 million and translates into a per share basis of EUR 0.06, mainly reflecting higher financing costs.
As at 30 June 2023, the total interest-bearing nominal debt amounted to around EUR 6.8 billion. As at H1 2023, the average interest rate on all outstanding debt is 5.5%, with a weighted average maturity of 3.2 years .

Forecast Report
Forecast for 2023
The current political and economic environment, including the price increases in construction and energy costs, the rising interest rates and the negative development of the real estate market as well as of the general economy are affecting Adler Group's performance, especially the performance of its development business. Therefore, Adler Group stated in its annual financial statements 2022 that it intends to dispose actively of selected portfolios and development projects and to focus on a Berlinanchored yielding portfolio with limited development exposure. All projects, which will not be completed in the short-term (until 2025) and delivered as forward sale or condominium projects, have been classified as upfront sales.
Following significant disposals made from the yielding asset portfolio already in 2021 and 2022, Adler Group expects to generate net rental income for 2023 in the range of EUR 207-219 million.
Following the sanctioning of the Restructuring Plan, the Company refrained from announcing an FFO 1 guidance for the year 2023 due to the current situation of the Group which is primarily focused on steering its liquidity situation and de-leveraging through asset and portfolio disposals.
From today's perspective, Senior Management does not see above all certain financial and financing risks and Company-specific as well as governance risks that could jeopardize mid-term the continuation of the Adler Group as a going concern in terms of its results of operations and/or net assets.

In addition to the opportunities and risks presented in Adler Group's Integrated Annual Report for the financial year 2022, the first half of 2023 mainly saw changes due to the provisions of the Restructuring Plan and the associated changes in the Adler Group's strategic orientation as well as resulting risks. With regard to opportunities, reference is made to the Integrated Annual Report for 2022.
With the Adler Group's focus on a yield portfolio anchored in Berlin with limited development exposure and the classification of upfront sales being all projects that will not be completed in the short term (by 2025) and delivered as forward sale or condominium projects, all such projects were analysed for their sales opportunities and achievable sales prices. The Company's sales strategy developed for the existing properties and project developments is currently being implemented. As a result, the number of employees was reduced, changes were made to the Group structure and long-term liabilities were refinanced. In view of the advancing maturities of the financial liabilities, in particular the repayment of the New Money due in mid-2025, the liquidity and valuation risks have increased. At the same time, the approval of the Restructuring Plan and the provision of the New Money improved the Adler Group's reputation, and the decision to sell most of the projects makes the Adler Group less dependent on the availability of suppliers and subcontractors and more vulnerable to further price increases for construction materials and energy.
On 29 June 2023 the Court of Appeal in the United Kingdom granted permission to appeal against the approval of the Restructuring Plan of AGPS BondCo PLC, a 100% subsidiary of Adler Group, by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 on 12 April 2023. The appeal was sought by a group of bondholders known as the Ad Hoc Group ("AHG"). The hearing of the appeal has been listed for three to four days, between 23 - 26 October 2023. Thereafter, it is expected that the Court of Appeal will give its decision within a few months. While the proposed appeal is pending, the Company takes the view that this will not create any legal barrier to continuing to implement the restructuring. However, in the absence of relevant court decisions, the Company cannot assess with certainty the outcome and impact of the appeal.
Risk management system
Compared to 31 December 2022, there have been no significant changes in the risk management process and risk identification and assessment. With regard to risk organisation and responsibilities, central risk management was assigned to the Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) as a new function in the Senior Management of the Adler Group as of 1 July 2023 as part of the "Compliance & Risk Management" division.
Quantification scoring model
The risks with a high probability of occurrence and at the same time with a high potential amount of damage have decreased from 7 to 6 risks.
In addition to the three risks already reported at the end of 2022, two further risks were assessed as threatening the existence of the Adler Group as at the first half of 2023. The risks "audit opinion and publication risks" and "project phase (plan) risks" were recorded with a potential loss amount with respect to liquidity of EUR 30 - < 100 million and with respect to assets of EUR 225 - < 750 million (class 4), respectively, with a probability of occurrence of > 90% (class 6). The probability of occurrence of the risk "accounting and valuation risks" was upgraded to > 90% (class 6) with regard to liquidity of EUR 30 - < 100 million and assets of EUR 225 - < 750 million (class 4).
The risks "Reputational risk" and "Central purchasing: availability and dependence on suppliers" were downgraded.
Qualitative assessment
The following table summarises the changes in risk sub-categories as of 30 June 2023 compared to 31 December 2022 that have been assigned a risk score greater than 4.5 according to the qualitative assessment and are therefore considered highly relevant. Risk sub-categories that are considered material (i.e., weighting in the overall risk score exceeding 5%) are also listed below. For the remaining risk sub-categories, please refer to the Annual Report 2022. In the table below, the comparative values as of 31 December 2022 are shown in brackets.
| Risk category | Risk sub-category | Risk score | Materiality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial and refinancing risks | Audit opinion and disclosure risks | 6.0 (4.8) | |
| Liquidity risks | 5.7 (5.4) | material | |
| Accounting valuation risks | 5.7 (5.3) | material | |
| Deterioration of the Company's rating | 5.0 | ||
| Operating risks in property management | Environmental risks | 4.8 (4.7) | |
| Asset management | 4.7 | ||
| Property management | 4.5 | ||
| Operating risks in project development | Risks in the "Build & Deliver" project phase | 6.0 (5.9) | material |
| Risks in the "Plan" project phase | 5.5 | ||
| Project-specific transaction risks | 5.4 (5.6) | ||
| Company-specific risks | Human resources | 5.0 (4.9) | |
| Tax risks | 4.8 | ||
| Central purchasing | 4.8 (5.8) |
Very relevant and material risks
Among the risks or risk sub-categories identified as at 30 June 2023 that have been classified by the Group as highly relevant (i.e., with a risk score of more than 4.5 in the qualitative assessment) and material (i.e., with a weighting of more than 5% in the overall risk assessment), the following risks are considered to be risks that threaten the existence of the Company: (1) risks in the "Build & Deliver" project phase, (2) liquidity risks, (3) accounting and valuation risks, (4) audit opinion and publication risks and (5) risks in the "Plan" project phase.
Overall assessment of risks and opportunities by the Senior Management
The Senior Management of the Adler Group has identified the above-mentioned risks threatening the Company's continued existence as of 30 June 2023 and has initiated appropriate measures to avert them. The strategic orientation with the planned sale of the projects and the further focus of the portfolio on the Berlin region is intended to create the conditions needed for a positive going concern forecast and for the financing of all material maturities until mid-2025. Through the continued intensive search for an auditor, the Company believes that it will be able to present the audited consolidated financial statements for 2022 by 30 September 2024. The provision of New Money by the bondholders as part of the Restructuring Plan has given the Adler Group the necessary flexibility to be able to implement the further measures in the interests of the Company.

The Company is specialised in and focused on the purchase, management and development of income producing multi-family residential real estate. In addition to being accountable for the condition of its apartments and buildings, Adler Group S.A. assumes responsibility for the tenants, its own employees and the surrounding environment. The portfolio of Adler Group S.A. and its subsidiaries is situated in or on the outskirts of major urban areas with a significant portion in Berlin. Adler Group provides an integrated German residential platform that covers the entire real estate value chain, from acquisition of land, planning and development of projects to property management and letting of residential units in Germany.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at 30 June 2023 and for the six-month period then ended comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
Note 2 – Basis of preparation
A. Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as applicable in the European Union ("EU"). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant for understanding the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Euro ("EUR") and have been rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated. Due to rounding, the figures reported in tables and cross-references may deviate from their exact values as calculated.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 28 August 2023.
B. Use of judgements, estimates and fair value measurements
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. This also applies to fair value measurements and the determination of fair values. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Unless specified otherwise in the following sections, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Note 3 – Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
A. Initial application of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations
The following new or amended standards and interpretations became effective and have been applied as per 1 January 2023 without any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
• Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes
The amendments limit the initial recognition exemption of deferred taxes on assets or liabilities in accordance with IAS 12 to the extent that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. This pertains in particular to deferred taxes on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. In these cases, entities are now obliged to recognise deferred taxes upon initial recognition.
• Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2
The amendments clarify that an entity is required to disclose its material accounting policy information in the notes instead of its significant accounting policies. Whether or not the accounting policy information can be classed as material is determined based on whether a user of the entity's financial statements needs this information to make decisions. The accounting policy information must therefore be related to material transactions or other events, and there must be a reason for its disclosure. The amendments to IAS 1 were included in the IFRS Practice Statements 2 and examples were added.
• Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments clarify the difference between accounting policies and accounting estimates. Accounting estimates are now defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.
• IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance contracts
IFRS 17 covers the accounting treatment of assets and liabilities arising from insurance contracts. The amendments concern transitional provisions for the simultaneous application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9.
B. New standards and interpretations not yet applied
Application of the following standards, interpretations and amendments was not mandatory for the 2023 financial year and the Group did not elect to apply them in advance. After a preliminary assessment the Group does not expect material impacts on the financial statements. The respective changes and their mandatory dates of implementation are outlined in the table below:

Interest expenses capitalised in investment properties under development amounted to EUR 33,956 thousand during 2022. Capitalisation of interest expenses has been suspended since 1 January 2023.
According to the Group's fair value valuation policies, investment properties generally undergo a detailed valuation as at 30 June and 31 December of each year, unless the Group identifies material changes in the value of these properties at an earlier date.
The fair value of the residential investment properties as at 30 June 2023 was determined by the valuation expert CBRE, an independent industry specialist that has appropriate, recognised professional qualification and up-to-date experience regarding the location and category of the properties. The fair value of the investment properties under construction (project development) was determined by the valuation expert NAI Apollo, an independent industry specialist with appropriate, recognised professional qualifications and up-to-date experience regarding the location and category of the properties.
The fair value measurement for all the investment properties has been categorised as Level 3 fair value due to prevailing use of unobservable inputs to the adopted valuation method.
The Group values its portfolio of residential investment properties using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. Under the DCF methodology, the expected future income and costs of the property are forecasted over a period of 10 years and discounted to the date of valuation. The income mainly comprises expected rental income (current in-place rent, market rents as well as their development) taking vacancy losses into account. The residual value method is applied for investment properties under construction (project development), which will be held in the long term to generate gross rental income and capital appreciation after completion. This approach is common to calculate the value of real estate developments in planning stage or still under construction. The approach is a deductive method to derive the market value of an undeveloped project according to its construction/development progress and represents the amount a market participant would be willing to pay for the property (land). The approach is based on the assumption that the market value of an ongoing project can be derived from an indicative market value less the anticipated costs for the realisation of the project (e.g., construction, marketing, financing costs).
According to CBRE, in the first half of 2023 the German real estate market was affected by a combination of global inflationary pressures (leading to higher interest rates) and recent failures in banking systems which have increased the potential for constrained credit markets, negative capital value movements and enhanced volatility in property markets over the short-to-medium term.
Based on the above, a fair value decrease of EUR 553,596 thousand (for the six months ended June 2022: increase by EUR 91,218 thousand) was recognised for the residential portfolio.
Due to cost increases and extended construction times, the fair values of the development portfolio decreased by EUR 188,007 thousand (for the six months ended June 2022 a decrease by EUR 238,666 thousand was recognised).
The following tables outline the key valuation parameters for residential properties as at 30 June 2023 and as at 31 December 2022.

The following table outlines the key valuation parameters for investment properties under construction (development) as at 30 June 2023 and as at 31 December 2022.
| Valuation parameters for investment properties under construction | 30 June 2023 | 31 Dec 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Market rent, weighted average (EUR) | 15.05 | 14.86 |
| Project development costs (EUR/m²) | 3,772 | 3,750 |
| Capitalisation interest rate, weighted average (in %) (*) | 3.86 | 3.77 |
(*) The increase in the capitalisation interest rate is mainly attributable to the initial application of the gross interest method by NAI Apollo within a static model without impact on valuation results. Therefore, the interest rate is not comparable to the previous year.
It is noted that according to the methodology applied in the valuations for the residential properties, the estimated cash flows for the first ten years is capitalised based on the discount rate basis. Cash flows effective from the eleventh year onwards are capitalised based on the cap rate basis. When applying the residual method on development projects, the market value of the development projects has been determined by NAI Apollo by deducting all expected costs (construction, marketing, financing, etc.) from the final value of the completed project.
Sensitivity analysis
The main value drivers influenced by the market are the market rents and their development, current rent increases, the vacancy rate and interest rates. The effect of possible fluctuations in these parameters is shown separately for each parameter and group in the following table. Interactions between the parameters are possible but cannot be quantified due to the complexity of the interrelationships:
Investment properties – residential

| Discount and capitalisation rate (%) | 25bps | (404,256) | (8.69) | (490,165) | (9.46) |
Assuming all other variables remain constant, a negative change in the parameters at the same percentage would have a similar impact on the value, although in the opposite direction.

After transfer to AGPS BondCo plc, the terms of Adler Group Bond 2017/2024, Adler Group Bond 2020/2025, Adler Group Bond 2020/2026, Adler Group Bond 2021/2026, Adler Group Bond 2021/2029 and Adler Group Bond 2017/2027 have been changed. The Adler Group bond 2017/2024 has been extended until 31 July 2025. The interest rates for all bonds were increased by 275 bps for the period from 17 April 2023 until 31 July 2025, with interest payments being suspended until 31 July 2025. A loss from modification of EUR 195,313 thousand has been recognised for these changes.
The current portion of the corporate and convertible bonds amounts to EUR 104,701 thousand and is presented in current liabilities.
On 17 April 2023, following the approved debt restructuring, the international rating agency Standard and Poor's (S&P) lowered the long-term issuer credit rating on Adler Group and ADLER Real Estate to "SD" from "CC" and lowered the issue ratings on its senior unsecured debt to "D" from "CC". Ratings on ADLER Real Estate's 2023 and 2024 unsecured debt remained unchanged at "CCC".
S&P also stated that they expect an upgrade to the "CCC" category in a few weeks after the restructuring has been implemented.
On 27 April 2023, after debt restructuring was completed, S&P upgraded the long-term issuer credit rating on Adler Group and ADLER Real Estate to "CCC+". At the same time, they assigned a "B" issue rating on the New Money facility, a "CCC+" rating on ADLER Real Estate's 2024 and 2026 bonds, a "CCC+" rating on the Adler Group 2025 bond (extended from 2024) and a "CCC-" rating on all other Adler bonds. Outlook for Adler Group and ADLER Real Estate is negative.
Adler Group undertakes to not incur any financial indebtedness after the signing of the restructuring on 22 April 2023, and will also ensure that its subsidiaries will not incur any financial indebtedness after this date. Certain exceptions exist, the most relevant being refinancing of existing financial indebtedness. Furthermore, starting from 31 December 2024 Adler Group is subject to an LTV test.
ADLER Real Estate AG - as a subsidiary of Adler Group - is subject to the same limitations as the Group. Furthermore, ADLER Real Estate continues to be subject to the covenants in its bond issues which are a (i) loan-to-value ratio (LTV) ≤ 60%; (ii) secured loan-to-value ratio ≤ 40% on an incurrence basis. Additionally, ADLER Real Estate is required to maintain the consolidated coverage ratio at or above 1.80 to 1.00 for any reporting date falling on or after 1 January 2021. The secured loan-to-value ratio has been amended in consent solicitations on 2 February 2023.
As at 30 June 2023, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants.
J. Other loans and borrowings
As at 30 June 2023, other loans and borrowings of Adler Group carry an average effective interest rate (i.e., considering the swap interest hedging effect from variable to fixed interest) of 6.45 percent per annum (as at 31 December 2022: 1.96 percent). The average maturity of other loans and borrowings is 3.1 years (as at 30 June 2022: 3.7 years and as at 31 December 2022: 3.8 years). As at 30 June 2023, under the existing loan agreements, the Group is either fully compliant with its obligations (including loan covenants) to the financing banks or they are suspended by mutual agreement with the banks.
The increase in the other loans and borrowings in Q2 2023 of EUR 891,134 thousand results mainly from the refinancing of the Adler Group as part of the New Money facilities. Adler Group SA has received a total of four loans, three of which for the purpose of refinancing bonds repayments by ADLER Real Estate AG and the remainder for capital expenditure of the Consus subgroup.
All loans with the exception of an unsecured promissory note are secured with the assets (investment properties and inventory properties, financial assets, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents).

Note 9 – Material events in the reporting period and subsequent events
1. On 9 January 2023, the local court of Berlin-Charlottenburg appointed KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft as auditor of ADLER Real Estate AG ("Adler RE"). The judicial appointment required the acceptance of the audit mandate by the auditor, which KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft rejected on 11 January 2023. As of the date hereof, Adler Group does not have an auditor and is continuing its intensive efforts to engage an auditor. On 24 April 2023, Adler RE announced that Rödl & Partner has agreed to accept an appointment as auditor for the audit of the standalone and the consolidated financial statements of Adler RE for the financial year 2022.
2. On 11 January 2023, AGPS BondCo PLC (the "New Issuer") was substituted in place of Adler Group as issuer of its six series of senior unsecured notes ("SUNs") (the "Issuer Substitution"). In connection with the Issuer Substitution, Adler Group provided irrevocable and unconditional guarantees in relation to the obligations and liabilities under the SUNs, including (but not limited to) payment of the principal of, and interest on, the SUNs. On 24 February 2023, a holder of the SUNs, Plan.e.Anleihe GmbH, commenced proceedings in the Frankfurt Regional Court against Adler Group seeking a declaration that the Issuer Substitution was invalid and unenforceable. Adler Group opposes the relief sought on the grounds that the Issuer Substitution was effected in accordance with the terms and conditions governing each series of SUNs (the "Terms and Conditions"), and is and continues to be valid as a matter of German law and will vigorously defend against such declaration in any such proceedings. The proceedings are ongoing.
3. On 16 February 2023, the New Issuer completed the downlisting of its EUR 400,000,000 1.500% unsecured notes due 2024 ("2024 Notes"), which were admitted to trading on the regulated Market of Luxembourg Stock Exchange, on the Euro MTF. The purpose of the downlisting was to harmonise the 2024 Notes with the other five series of SUNs.
4. On 23 February 2023, BNP Paribas, as principal paying agent, received notices of termination under the Terms and Conditions from certain holders of SUNs (representing approximately 6% of the aggregate principal amount of the SUNs). Such notices were rejected by the New Issuer for procedural deficiencies. On 10 March 2023, the notices of termination were resubmitted. The New Issuer rejected one resubmitted notice for procedural deficiencies and rejected all resubmitted notices on the basis that no valid grounds for such termination exist and therefore considered the purported declarations to be invalid. On 24 March 2023, BNP Paribas again received resubmitted termination notices, which were similarly rejected by the New Issuer on the basis that no valid grounds for such termination exist and that the noteholders of the respective notes were not entitled to terminate the notes due to the presence of an ongoing Restructuring Plan proceeding.
5. On 28 February 2023, S&P downgraded the issuer rating of Adler RE from CCC- to CC with outlook negative. ADLER Real Estate's EUR 300,000,000 3.000% senior unsecured notes due 27 April 2026 ("Adler RE 2026 SUNs") were also downgraded from CCC- to CC. The CCC- rating on EUR 500,000,000 1.875% senior unsecured notes due 27 April 2023 ("Adler RE 2023 SUNs") and on ADLER Real Estate's 2.125% EUR 300,000,000 notes due 2024 ("Adler Re 2024 SUNs") was affirmed.
6. On 17 March 2023, the Group sent a request to Adler RE to squeeze-out the remaining minority shareholders of Adler RE. Subsequently on the same date, the Group and Adler RE published an ad-hoc notification disclosing the EUR 8.76 per share cash compensation to be paid to the squeezed-out minority Adler RE shareholders.
7. On 21 March 2023, meetings of holders of the SUNs (the "Plan Meetings") were held to consider and vote on the Group's proposed Restructuring Plan (the "Restructuring Plan"), which aimed to facilitate a successful implementation of amendments to the SUNs and complete the wider financial restructuring of the Group (the "Restructuring"), and in doing so help resolve the financial difficulties faced by the Group. Subsequently on 21 March 2023, the Group announced the voting results of the Plan Meetings, noting a strong level of support for the Restructuring Plan and, more broadly, the Group's comprehensive Restructuring proposal.
8. On 31 March 2023, Adler RE signed a comfort letter ("Comfort Letter") in relation to the intra-group loan agreement dated 23 May 2022 on the granting of a loan in an amount of up to EUR 200,000,000 to its subsidiary, Brack Capital Properties N.V. ("BCP"). Pursuant to the Comfort Letter, Adler RE undertook to prolong the maturity of part of the loans granted under the intra-group loan agreement in an amount of EUR 70,000,000 ("Prolonged Loans") by six months until 30 June 2024 if certain conditions are met. These conditions require, among others, that the Prolonged Loans have been secured by collateral provided by BCP in favour of Adler RE. BCP will provide market standard collateral as consideration for the Prolonged Loans, and the interest rate for the Prolonged Loans will be increased with effect from the original maturity date to 3-month-Euribor plus a margin reflecting the then prevailing market conditions (provided that such margin shall be no lower than 200 basis points). The remaining EUR 130,000,000 part of the loans will maintain the original maturity date of 29 December 2023.
9. On 12 April 2023, the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the "High Court") made an order sanctioning the Restructuring Plan (the "Sanction Order") with the final judgement published on 21 April 2023 (the "Judgement"). At the hearing of the High Court's decision to sanction the Restructuring Plan on 12 April 2023, the ad hoc group of noteholders (the "AHG") opposing the Restructuring Plan stated that it would seek permission to appeal. The New Issuer opposed this application. On 25 April 2023 the High Court declined to grant AHG the permission to appeal. On 16 May 2023, the AHG filed an application with the Court of Appeal for permission to appeal and requested that the application for permission to appeal and the substantive hearing of the appeal be dealt with by the Court of Appeal on an expedited basis. The Group has made submissions to the Court of Appeal opposing the AHG's request for expedition and intends to oppose the AHG's application for permission to appeal (as well as its appeal, if permission is granted).
10. On 13 April 2023, the Group announced completion of the Restructuring Plan. Pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, on 17 April 2023, the SUNs were amended in accordance with the amended Terms and Conditions governing each series of SUNs, which included, among other changes:
- 10.1 2.75% coupons increase until 31 July 2025; after which time, the coupons revert to their respective prior levels;
- 10.2. extension of the maturity date of the 2024 Notes from 26 July 2024 until 31 July 2025;
- 10.3 amendments restricting the incurrence of certain indebtedness by the Group, subject to certain carveouts such as allowing the Group to incur the New Money Funding (as defined below) and refinance certain existing indebtedness;
- 10.4 amendments to the reporting covenants that temporarily alleviate the reporting obligations placed on the Group; and
- 10.5 amendments to certain other restrictive covenants to support the new capital structure and liquidity position of the Group.

The key amendments are summarised in the table below:
11. On 13 April 2023, Adler Group completed a reorganisation of the Group's corporate structure. Following the completion of the reorganisation (i) Adler Group became the sole shareholder of the newly incorporated Luxembourg entity Adler Group Intermediate Holding S.à r.l. ("Adler Group Intermediate Holding"), which became the sole shareholder of three newly incorporated Luxembourg entities (collectively, the "Collateral LuxCos") and (ii) all shares in Adler RE, Consus Real Estate AG ("Consus") and certain other subsidiaries, which were previously directly or indirectly held by Adler Group (except for the New Issuer and for a certain number of the shares in such subsidiaries, which continue to be held by Adler Group), were transferred to the Collateral LuxCos.
12. On 17 April 2023, S&P downgraded the issuer ratings of both Adler Group and Adler RE from CC to SD (selective default). The rating of the unsecured debt for both Adler Group and Adler RE was lowered from CC to D (default). The ratings on Adler RE 2023 SUNs and Adler RE 2024 SUNs unsecured debt was affirmed at CCC-. S&P stated that it will reassess its ratings on Adler Group and Adler RE after the Restructuring is implemented in a few weeks and expects an upgrade to the CCC category.
13. In accordance with the Restructuring Plan, the Restructuring and related committed funding of up to EUR 937,474,000 (the "New Money Funding"), a special purpose vehicle established for the sole purpose of the Restructuring ("LendingCo") issued EUR 937,474,000 12.500% notes due 30 June 2025 (the "New Money Notes") and subsequently LendingCo lent the New Money Notes proceeds to the Group via loan facilities (the "New Money Facilities") under a facilities agreement dated 22 April 2023 (the "New Money Facilities Agreement"):
• 13.1 EUR 322,474,000 term loan facility with Adler Group, with proceeds funding (i) the repayment of the existing upstream loan from Adler RE and (ii) the payment of fee incurred in relation to the New Money Funding.
- 13.2 EUR 235,000,000 term loan facility ("Facility ARE") with Adler Group, with proceeds funding a noninterest bearing shareholder loan to Adler RE to fund repayment of the Adler RE 2023 SUNs in full on its maturity date (27 April 2023). The non-interest bearing shareholder loan to Adler RE was entered into on 27 April 2023.

14. Further to the public announcement issued by the Group on 23 February 2023 relating to results of ADLER Real Estate consent solicitations, the terms and conditions of the Adler RE 2024 SUNs and the Adler RE 2026 SUNs were amended. The amendments allow ADLER Real Estate to provide liens over its assets to secure the Adler RE 2024 SUNs, the Adler RE 2026 SUNs, Facility ARE, Facility 2024 and the payment-in-kind interest related to Facility ARE and Facility 2024.
15. Certain members of the Group provided guarantees and transaction security in favour of Global Loan Agency Services GmbH, as security agent, to secure the claims under the New Money Facilities. In addition, two intercreditor agreements were executed on 22 April 2023 to govern the enforcement of collateral and the waterfall for the distribution of enforcement proceeds amongst the different classes of Group creditors.
16. On 24 April 2023, Adler Group increased its share capital by EUR 42,303.68 from EUR 145,712.69 to EUR 188,016.37 by issuing 34,115,874 new shares from the authorised capital. The new shares were delivered to the New Money Investors as consideration for the provision of the new money.
17. On 27 April 2023, the Adler RE bond 2018/2023 with a nominal outstanding amount of EUR 500 million was repaid.
18. On 28 April 2023, the general meeting of Adler RE resolved on the squeeze out. However, the decision has not yet been implemented because actions for rescission and nullity are still pending at the competent regional court in Berlin.
19. On 9 May 2023, Adler RE announced a tender offer and consent solicitation in respect of its outstanding EUR 300,000,000 2.125% notes due 2024.

Also, the employment contract of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Thierry Beaudemoulin was renewed.
22. On 21 June 2023, the annual General Meeting (AGM) was held. All proposed resolutions were adopted with large majorities up to 100%.

The annual General Meeting also approved the appointment of both Dr. Heiner Arnoldi and Stefan Brendgen as members of the Board of Directors. Prof. Dr. A.

23. On 21 June 2023, the extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) approved continuing the Company.
24. On 28 June, 2023, investigators from the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor's Office and the Federal Criminal Police Office seized business records at Adler Group premises. The court-ordered investigations took place against the background of business transactions of ADLER Real Estate AG in 2019 extending into 2020. The business transactions in question relate to the "Gerresheim" project and the relevant accounting as well as payments under two consulting agreements with one of the defendants. The investigations are expressly not directed against the members of the Board of Directors of the Adler Group. The Adler Group is cooperating with the authorities and fully supports a clarification of the facts as quickly as possible.
25. On June 29, 2023, the Board of Directors expressed its full confidence in and support for Senior Management member Sven-Christian Frank. Previously, Sven-Christian Frank had asked to be temporarily released from his duties and responsibilities in connection with the investigations by the public prosecutor's office in which he is listed as an accused. The Board of Directors did not comply with this request.
