Stock market and the Deutsche Wohnen share

Interim management report

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

Deutsche Wohnen AG with its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as "Deutsche Wohnen" or the "group"), is measured by its market capitalisation currently one of the largest publicly listed real estate companies in Europe. The company is listed in the MDAX of the German Stock Exchange. Our holdings consist of around 160,000 residential and commercial units as well as nursing homes with around 2,000 nursing places with a fair value of around EUR 12.7 billion in total. Consistent with our business strategy the focus is on residential and nursing properties in both fast-growing conurbations and metropolitan areas of Germany. The fundamental economic growth, the population influx into German metropolitan areas and their demographic development provide a very good basis for achieving strong and stable cash flows from letting and leasing and for making use of opportunities to create value.

Stock market and the Deutsche Wohnen share

Economy

In its spring guidelines this year, the German Institute for Economic Research (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung – DIW) is predicting that, following a robust start to the year, the German economy will achieve solid growth of 1.6 % in the current year and 1.5 % in 2017 despite weaknesses in the global economy. The average rate of growth for the global economy is forecast to be 3.3% in 2016 and 3.7% in 2017.

According to DIW, the rate of inflation in Germany will continue to be low. Accordingly, the anticipated inflation rate is 0.5% for 2016 and 1.5% for 2017. As a result of this favourable economic development, the unemployment rate is expected to continue to fall in the current year to 6.2%. A significant contributory factor to the growth of the German economy is strong domestic demand. This, in turn, is being driven primarily by buoyant private consumption and is benefitting from the consistent rise in the level of employment and from marked increases in wages. Housebuilding is also expected to continue to increase substantially in 2016 and 2017. Order books are full, the overall economic situation remains favourable and the number of housebuilding projects given planning approval rose significantly in the second half of 2015. Furthermore, demand for housing continues to be high in view of migration, low interest rates and the positive situation on the job market and with regard to incomes.

Financial markets

In the first quarter of 2016 a number of factors led to very volatile stock markets. These factors included deteriorating leading indicators in Europe and the USA, significant fluctuations in the value of the Chinese yuan, the stronger euro and the terror attacks in Brussels. As a result, the German stock market was under enormous pressure until the middle of February. The DAX fell below the 9,000-point mark and, in so doing, was almost 20 % below its level at the beginning of the year. Thanks to a recovery in the second half of the quarter, the DAX ended the first quarter on 9,966 points – a loss of 7.2 %. The MDAX also posted a slight loss of 1.8% at the end of the quarter, finishing on 20,398 points.

In addition to the more expansive policies of the issuing banks in the eurozone, Japan and China, the stock markets were also supported in this turbulent first quarter1) by the moderate policies of the US Federal Reserve, the strong employment market in the US and robust car sales figures worldwide.

The Deutsche Wohnen AG share

The Deutsche Wohnen share completed the first quarter of 2016 with a closing price of EUR 27.33, thus achieving an increase of approximately 7 % in comparison to the start of the year. This means that the share outperformed the DAX and the MDAX, both of which completed the first quarter with a loss. The real estate index EPRA Germany performed similarly to the Deutsche Wohnen share in the first three months of the year, closing on 31 March 2016 at around 955 points – an increase of approximately 7%. EPRA Europe completed the first three months at 2,152 points – a slight loss of around 3.3%.

The market capitalisation of Deutsche Wohnen rose in the first quarter by approximately 7% to around EUR 9.2 billion. There was also a significant increase of more than 31% in the XETRA trading volume in comparison to the corresponding period of the previous year.

Investor Relations activities

Deutsche Wohnen conducts an intensive dialogue with its shareholders and investors. For this purpose, we make use of national and international conferences and roadshows.

The like-for-like rental growth in the letting portfolio of the strategic core and growth regions was 3.8%. The rental growth of the last twelve months was predominantly influenced by the Berlin rent index, which was published in May 2015. We anticipate rental growth of approximately 2.5% in the course of 2016.

Property portfolio Notes on financial performance and financial position

In the first three months of 2016, the new-letting rent in the Core+ segment (holdings not subject to rent controls) was around 23% above the in-place rent as at the reporting date.

Portfolio development

Of the flat purchases that were notarised in 2015, 13,650 were transferred to our ownership in the first quarter of 2016. The transfer of risk and rewards for a further 1,800 flats will take place in the coming months.

The high demand for property continues unabated and is reflected in our earnings from disposals. In the first quarter of 2016 the transfer of risks and rewards took place for 1,771 flats.

Portfolio investments

In the first quarter of 2016, approximately EUR 30 million (previous year: EUR 35 million) was invested in the maintenance and modernisation of our property portfolio. Since we plan to intensify the implementation of our modernisation programme, this figure will increase significantly in the course of the year.

The following table shows expenditure on maintenance and modernisation in comparison to the corresponding period of the previous year:

Notes on financial performance and financial position

Financial performance

The following provides an overview of the development of business operations in individual segments as well as of further items in the consolidated profit and loss statement for the first quarter of the financial year 2016 in comparison to the corresponding period of the previous year:

Profit/loss for the period 100.6 –44.2

In comparison to the equivalent period of the previous year, profit for the period rose by EUR 144.8 million to EUR 100.6 million. This increase is mainly attributable to the improved operating and financial results.

Earnings before taxes, adjusted for special effects and valuation effects, show the normalised increase in earnings:

1) With consideration of the average floor space on a quarterly basis in the relevant period; in case of significant acquisitions within a quarter the average

floor space was adjusted accordingly

In addition to rental increases across all the holdings, it was particularly portfolio acquisitions that led to an increase in rental income in comparison to the corresponding period of the previous year. Expenditure on maintenance was EUR 17.4 million (previous year: EUR 19.0 million) or EUR 7.10 per sqm p.a.1) (previous year: EUR 8.25 per sqm p.a.1)).

The NOI (Net Operating Income) margin increased by 3.7 percentage points to over 80%.

Earnings from Disposals

Demand for property as a form of investment for owner-occupiers and investors continues to be high. Up to 31 March 2016, a total of 2,475 units were sold. The transfer of risks and rewards for these units is expected to take place in 2016. Of these approximately 900 units made up a single institutional sale in Berlin.

Of the 2,475 residential units sold, the transfer of risks and rewards took place in respect of 1,771 residential units in the first three months of this financial year, and so these are included in the sales results:

Interim management report

Earnings from Nursing and Assisted Living

The Nursing and Assisted Living segment is managed through a shareholding in the KATHARINENHOF® Group. The business model concentrates primarily on the management of residential and nursing facilities in the four federal states of Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony and Lower Saxony. As at 31 March 2016, the KATHARINENHOF® Group managed 20 facilities, of which Deutsche Wohnen owns 19 with a fair value of EUR 161.4 million.

Segment earnings after interest expenses 4.0 3.4

The average occupancy rate of the facilities during the reporting period was 98.3% (corresponding period of previous year: 96.2%), and so continues to be at a high level.

Corporate expenses

Corporate expenses include staff and general and administration expenses without the segment Nursing and Assisted Living.

EUR m Q1/2016 Q1/2015
Staff expenses –11.8 –11.9
General and administration expenses –4.7 –6.8
Corporate expenses –16.5 –18.7

The fall in total corporate expenses reflects the outcomes of the integration process arising from the – now completed – operational integration of GSW.

The cost ratio of general and administration expenses in relation to rental income fell to 9.6% in the first three months of 2016, compared to 11.8% – the latter figure relating to the corresponding three-month period of the financial year 2015.

Financial result

The financial result is made up as follows:

EUR m Q1/2016 Q1/2015
Current interest expenses –26.5 –35.2
Accrued interest on liabilities

0.0 5.0

Fair value adjustments
of convertible bonds
3.5 –113.0
–30.8 –145.5
Interest income 0.3 0.2
Financial result –30.5 –145.3

The fall in interest expenses results mainly from the refinancing and redemption of loans that was carried out in the course of the previous financial year. Regarding the part of our loans with a variable interest rate, Deutsche Wohnen continues to profit from the fact that interest rate levels have fallen further.

The development in price of the convertible bonds, which are valued at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet, follows the share price of Deutsche Wohnen AG. Because of the positive development of the share price in the corresponding period of the previous year, there was a fair value loss. The current share price is higher than the underlying conversion price, so the convertible bonds are "in the money". When calculated on a diluted basis, this leads to positive effects in the key balance sheet figures like LTV (Loan-to-Value Ratio) or EPRA NAV (Net Asset Value).

Current taxes

The income taxes of EUR 27.0 million comprise EUR 19.9 million of deferred taxes and EUR 7.1 million of current income taxes.

Investment properties represent the largest asset item. This figure has risen because of acquisitions.

The other non-current assets include, in particular, the figure of EUR 535.1 million – the value of the goodwill arising from the acquisition of GSW.

The rise in current assets in comparison to the corresponding reporting date in the previous year concerns the acquisition of properties earmarked for disposal.

Of the cash and cash equivalents in the amount of EUR 331.0 million, a sum of around EUR 10.4 million is currently not freely available.

In the first quarter of 2016, the group's equity increased in absolute terms by EUR 114.2 million whilst the equity ratio fell from around 50 % to 48 %. This is due to a balance sheet extension of approximately EUR 732 million caused by acquisitions and the financing of these acquisitions with loan capital in the first quarter of 2016. In the first three months of 2016, Deutsche Wohnen issued 18,800 bearer shares in exchange for around 8,000 bearer shares in GSW Immobilien AG. This represents a share of approximately 0.01 % in GSW. This exchange of shares went ahead on the basis of the provisions of the Domination Agreement between the two companies regarding the put-option rights of the minority shareholders of GSW.

In comparison to the end of 2015, financial liabilities have risen. This is due to the planned taking out of loans to finance portfolio acquisitions.

The liabilities arising from the issue of convertible bonds fell to EUR 961.4 million due to the effects of variations in market value. In nominal terms, the sum owing is EUR 650 million.

The debt ratio (expressed as Loan-to-Value) developed in comparison to 31 December 2015 as follows:

EUR m 31/3/2016 31/12/2015
Financial liabilities 4,357.7 3,780.4
Convertible bonds 961.4 965.4
Corporate bonds 500.3 498.3

Land and buildings held for sale 328.8 66.9
13,069.2 12,063.6
Loan-to-Value Ratio in % 42.0 38.0

As at the reporting date, the Loan-to-Value Ratio was approximately 42.0%. The average interest rate on the credit portfolio, including the convertible bonds, was approximately 1.7 % as at 31 March 2016 with a hedging rate of approximately 85 %. The convertible bonds are currently "in the money". If they were removed from the calculation, this would result in a Loan-to-Value Ratio of 34.6% in mathematical terms.

The cash flow of the group breaks down as follows:

EUR m Q1/2016 Q1/2015
Net cash flows from operating activities 42.0 22.2
Net cash flows from investing activities –704.4 238.8
Net cash flows from financing activities 331.8 –95.0

Opening balance cash and
cash equivalents

Closing balance cash and

The interim financial statements as at 31 March 2015 contained under "Net cash flows from investing activities" a payment of EUR 16.8 million arising from the sale of non-controlling interests. In the interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2016, this payment is recorded under "Net cash flows from financing activities".

Risk report

With regard to the risks which exist for future business development we refer you to the information presented in the risk report in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2015.

Forecast

The first quarter of the financial year 2016 was a great operational success for Deutsche Wohnen. The full effects arising from the completion of the integration of GSW, the refinancing measures during the financial year 2015 and the acquisitions that were made are now unfolding and developing as planned.

We are anticipating an FFO I for the full financial year 2016 of over EUR 360 million. This is a basic scenario and does not include opportunistic acquisitions and disposals.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

General information

Deutsche Wohnen AG is a publicly listed property company. It is based in Germany and operates nationwide. It has its headquarters in Frankfurt/Main, Pfaffenwiese 300, and is entered in the commercial register of the District Court of Frankfurt/Main under HRB 42388. The business activities of Deutsche Wohnen AG are limited to its role as the holding company for the companies in the group. These activities include, in particular, the following functions: Asset Management, Legal, Corporate Finance, Investor Relations, Communication and Human Resources. The operational subsidiaries focus on the areas of Residential Property Management, Disposals, and Nursing and Assisted Living. Consistent with its business strategy, the company concentrates on residential and nursing properties in dynamic conurbations and metropolitan regions in Germany, for example, Greater Berlin, the Rhine-Main region with Frankfurt/Main, and the Rhineland with a focus on Dusseldorf, and in stable conurbations like Hanover/Brunswick/Magdeburg.

The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euros (EUR). Unless otherwise stated all figures are rounded to the nearest thousand (k) or the nearest million (m) EUR. For arithmetical reasons there may be rounding differences between tables and references and the exact mathematical figures.

Basic principles and methods applied to the consolidated financial statements

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2016 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 for interim reporting as applicable in the European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited or subjected to an audit review.

These interim financial statements do not contain all the information and details required for consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2015.

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in principle on a historical cost basis with the exception of, in particular, investment properties, convertible bonds and derivative financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

The consolidated interim financial statements include the financial statements of Deutsche Wohnen and its subsidiaries as at 31 March 2016. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared using consistent accounting and valuation methods as at the same reporting date as the financial statements of the parent company.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, the uncertainty connected with these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that in future require considerable adjustments to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Interim financial statements

The business activities of Deutsche Wohnen are basically unaffected by seasonal influences and economic cycles.

In the first three months of 2016, the shareholding of Deutsche Wohnen AG in GSW Immobilien AG increased from its original level of 93.83 % as at 31 December 2015 to 93.84 % as at 31 March 2016. This change is due to the acquisition by Deutsche Wohnen AG of 0.01 % of the shares of GSW Immobilien AG in exchange for newly issued shares of Deutsche Wohnen AG in the context of the put-option rights arising from the Domination Agreement between GSW Immobilien AG (controlled company) and Deutsche Wohnen AG (controlling company).

In addition, a total of four newly acquired companies were fully consolidated within the Residential Property Management segment in the first quarter of 2016 – one of them with the legal form of a German limited liability company (GmbH), and three of them with the legal form of a Dutch limited liability company (B.V.). These four companies are residential property companies without independent business activities.

In the first quarter of 2016 Deutsche Wohnen also took over 100% of FACILITA Berlin GmbH, having held 49% of the voting rights as at 31 December 2015. Since 1 January 2016 this company is in the process of being fully consolidated, so from this date on its results are contained in Deutsche Wohnen's interim results. FACILITA Berlin GmbH mainly provides services in Berlin for companies in the Deutsche Wohnen Group. The acquisition has been treated in this interim report in accordance with the acquisition method (IFRS 3).

As at the first consolidation date, the provisional market values of the assets and liabilities that were taken over of FACILITA Berlin GmbH are made up as follows:

EUR m
Assets
Property, plant and equipment 0.1
Receivables and other assets 0.5
Liquid assets 6.2
6.8
Liabilities
Tax liabilities –0.7
Trade payables and other liabilities –2.7
–3.4
Net asset value 3.4

The calculation of the market values of the assets and liabilities is provisional.

In the case of the receivables and other assets which were taken over, the fair value essentially corresponds to the gross sum. These are essentially receivables vis-à-vis group companies and are matched by liabilities of these companies in the same amount.

The purchase price of shares amounted to EUR 51,000. Taking into consideration the shareholding of 49%, which was recorded in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2015 as a joint venture in the amount of EUR 1.7 million, the resulting earnings as defined by IFRS 3.34 are EUR 1.8 million, which is contained in the consolidated profit and loss statement under the item "Other expenses/income".

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Taking into consideration the cash and cash equivalents of EUR 6.2 million that were taken over, the total purchase price in cash contained under "Net cash flows from investing activities" corresponds to proceeds in the amount of EUR 6.2 million recorded under "Proceeds from acquisition of companies".

Since the first consolidation date, the revenues of the company, which are included in the consolidated financial statements of Deutsche Wohnen, amounted to approximately EUR 4.3 million whilst its contribution to earnings was EUR 0.2 million. Since the revenues of the company are a matter of intra-group services within the segment of Residential Property Management, they are consolidated.

No goodwill arose from the merger of these companies.

No significant transaction costs arose from the merger of these companies.

Apart from this, there have been no changes to the basis of consolidation.

Changes to accounting and valuation methods

As a basic principle, Deutsche Wohnen has applied the same accounting and valuation methods as for the corresponding reporting period in the previous year.

In the first three months of the financial year 2016, the new standards and interpretations that must be applied for financial years commencing after 1 January 2016 were applied in full. This did not have any significant consequences.

Selected notes on the consolidated balance sheet

Investment properties comprise 88 % of the assets of the Deutsche Wohnen Group. As at 31 December 2015, these investment properties underwent a detailed valuation and were recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. For the purpose of interim reporting, the appropriateness of these valuations is monitored on an ongoing basis. With regard to the valuation methods and parameters used, we refer to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2015.

The item "Property, plant and equipment" covers mainly owneroccupied property (IAS 16), technical facilities and office furniture and equipment.

The item "Intangible assets" covers, in addition to software and licences, the goodwill in the amount of EUR 535.1 million, which resulted from the GSW transaction (financial year 2013).

The derivative financial instruments are interest hedges recorded at fair value. These hedges were not concluded for speculative purposes but solely in order to minimise the interest rate risks and consequent cash flow risks of variable-rate loans.

All other financial assets (trade receivables, other current assets, and cash and cash equivalents) as well as the other financial liabilities (current and non-current financial liabilities, current and non-current corporate bonds, trade payables and other liabilities) are valued at amortised cost. The amortised costs of these assets and liabilities also correspond closely to the fair value of these assets and liabilities.

The developments in equity can be found in the consolidated statement of changes in equity on 19.

Financial liabilities have increased in comparison to 31 December 2015 particularly because of the taking out of loans for the purpose of financing portfolio acquisitions.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Interim financial statements

The convertible bonds are recorded at fair value on the basis of their period-end conversion rate. The bonds have slightly fallen in value in comparison to 31 December 2015 mainly because of the valuation on the basis of the share price as at the reporting date. The current conversion price of the convertible bond issued by Deutsche Wohnen AG in 2013 is EUR 17.7877. The nominal sum owing is EUR 250 million. The current conversion price of the convertible bond issued by Deutsche Wohnen AG in September 2014 is EUR 21.412. The nominal sum owing is EUR 400 million.

The employee benefit liabilities were valued as at the reporting date with a discount rate of 1.54 % p.a. (31 December 2015: 2.03% p.a.). This rate derives from the yield of fixed-interest rate corporate bonds.

Notes on the consolidated cash flow statement

The other non-cash expenses/earnings essentially contain the carrying profit arising from disposals.

In the consolidated interim financial statements as at 31 March 2015, the item "Net cash flows from investing activities" showed proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interests in the amount of EUR 16.8 million. This is recorded under "Net cash flows from financing activities" in the consolidated interim financial statements for this reporting period.

The cash fund is made up of cash at bank and in hand.
