  • NOI/sqm/month decreased by 5.1% y-o-y due to structural changes in our portfolio; i.e. largely attributable to lower in-place rents of the acquisitions
  • NOI-margin only marginally decreased due to integration of new acquisitions and higher maintenance expenses per sqm vs. previous year

The vacancy in the letting portfolio in the Hanover/Brunswick/ Magdeburg region is slightly decreasing compared to Q2 2013 (from 5.4% (Jun 13) to 5.3% (Sep 13)). Due to the transfer of the property management from Prelios to Deutsche Wohnen vacancy rates increased within our expectations. Within Q3 2013 the development has stabilized and vacancy is decreasing

Strong rental growth in our strategic core and growth regions

  • Core+ regions with compelling rental growth (l-f-l) and a very low vacancy rate 'stars'
  • › Driven by new-letting rents and execution of Berlin rent index ('Mietspiegel'): see next page
  • Core regions with moderate rental growth (l-f-l) and a low vacancy rate 'cash cows'

1) Contractually owed rent from rented apartments divided by rented area

» Positive impact from 'Berlin Mietspiegel' (Berlin rent index)

Total Deutsche Wohnen units in the City of Berlin: 44,643 1)

units rent restricted: 2,170

Units non-rent restricted (subject to 'Mietspiegel'): 42,473

units affected in 2013: 18,504

Key impacts:
% of non-rent restricted 44%
Average monthly increase per sqm 2)
- in EUR EUR 0.30

Vast majority has been executed before cut-off-date (30 September 2013)

1) incl. ~80 units with expected transfer of risk and rewards in Q4/2013 2) Basis 1 January 2013

» Rent potential up to 25% in Core+ regions (letting portfolio)

The increase in our actually achieved new-letting rent/our rent potential clearly demonstrates the accelerating demand-based dynamic in our Core+ regions

1) Contractually owed rent from rented apartments divided by rented area 2) Contractually owed rents for newly concluded contracts for units not subject to rent control effective in 2012 and 2013 respectively 3) Rent potential = New-letting rent compared to in-place rent
