Outlook and market update

Liquidity costs

  • Situation has gradually improved but remains challenging
  • Financing environment continues to be the main hurdle for recovery of investment market
  • Cost of financing is driven by banks liquidity costs
  • Spreads have stabilized

1Source: German Credit Benchmark Model by Barkow Consulting

Bumps ahead

  • Expectation of increasing smaller tenant defaults in the next 12 months
  • limited to no impact on alstria given the tenant structure
  • Leasing market is becoming more difficult especially for prime, representative properties
  • Tenant Incentive and rent free period should increase on these assets
  • Expecting strong demand on efficient/cost cutting office space

Opportunities ahead

  • Lack of financing is going to restrain the investment environment for the foreseeable future
  • Main focus of investors on long term secured income properties
  • Main opportunities in the market to arise on short term leased/vacant properties

No change in underlying assumptions

CBRE market view (August 3, 2009)

With EUR 3.3 bn, the investment volume is 73% below last year's result

High demand for suitable core products, primarily from strong equity capital-based investors

Increasingly safety-conscious investment strategies

High demand for fully let, cashflow-generating first class property in prime locations, will guarantee yield stability

alstria base case market assumption

Estimated investment volume between EUR 6 bn and EUR 8 bn for the year

Size of transactions executable in the market will be for assets between EUR 10 m and EUR 25 m

Buyers will be seeking capital preservation and security

No reversion to the mean of yields in Germany

Financial guidance confirmed

  • Guidance for 2009:
  • Revenue guidance remains at EUR 103 m
  • Funds from operations (FFO) remains at EUR 32 m
  • Subject to acceleration of disposals

Ticking like a clock

  • Voluntary down payment of EUR 20 m to remain close but below 60% LTV
  • Renegotiation of covenants to take out some heat and uncertainties
  • Reduction of balloon payment by EUR 190 m
  • Asset sales of around EUR 50 m to increase flexibility
  • Managing the assets, as this is alstria s core bussines
