» Compelling growth of FFO, dividend and NAV

FFO I a) & Dividend per share

  • (~24% in 2015)

  • Increased dividend potential to EUR ~0.70 per share for 2016
  • Dividend per share up by ~32% in 2016 (~20% in 2015)

EPRA NAV per share b) & LTV

  • Portfolio revaluation of additional c. EUR 1bn expected, resulting in total revaluation of c. EUR 1.7bn for 2015; predominantly driven by yield compression reaching an in-place rent multiplier of ~18.2x for the total portfolio
  • Further NAV growth expected for 2016 particularly based on continuously strong fundamentals in Berlin and portfolio optimization
  • Deutsche Wohnen remains fully committed to an LTV range of 40-45%c) (2015: <40%)

Notes: 2016 estimates are based on unchanged parameters: in particular interest environment, regulatory framework, valuation of convertible bonds a) FFO I per share calculated on weighted average shares outstanding over period; b) Calculated on shares outstanding at end of period c) LTV 2016e: ~40% (before valuation impact the LTV 2016e amounts to ~42%)

(recent bond issuance)
  • Deutsche Wohnen has lower leverage, longer maturities and better rating
  • Structurally disadvantageous financing approach by Vonovia as evidenced by recent €3bn bond placement
  • Proof point of more cost efficient secured vs. unsecured financing
  • Spread of >100bps vs. DW bank margin
  • Corresponding financing via DW bank market would have resulted in c. €20m interest savings p.a.
  • On average 5 year term considered inappropriate at current cycle
  • Deutsche Wohnen has no significant maturities until and including 2019
  • Vonovia forced to use less cost efficient unsecured bond market for upcoming up to €6bn refinancings to avoid rating downgrade

» Discount to Deutsche Wohnen's intrinsic portfolio value

Significant value upside based on observed current market yield compression

Portfolio appraised value (EUR/sqm) 1,216 852 635 1,160

Value upside potential (EURm)(a) > 1,750

Strong market fundamentals underpinning rental growth and value generation in Core+ / Core markets

  • Core+ markets experiencing continued supply shortage, increasing new construction cost and additional demand volume intensified by unprecedented inflow of refugees
  • Significant valuation upside driven by current yield compression and like-for-like rental growth momentum
  • Multiples observed on portfolio transactions significantly exceed the current book values
  • Expected rental growth in 2015 for the entire portfolio of c. 3.5%(b)
  • Like-for-like rental growth in Berlin in 2015 expected to be c. 4.0%(b) (individual portfolios provide for up to 6% rental growth)
  • As a consequence, intrinsic value per share > EUR 26 for the stand-alone portfolio, not considering any value for the highly efficient platform that is operating the portfolio
