Highlights

Operating
Business

Operating business proves resilient during pandemic; full year guidance achieved with all segments contributing according to plan

Adj. EBITDA growth to above EUR 1bn driven by successful disposal business (+12% yoy)

Strong capital growth leading to further uplift of EPRA NAV/NTA (+12% yoy)

Suggested dividend per share increased to EUR 1.03 thanks to resumption of 65% FFO I pay-out ratio and positive impact of share buy-back

Conservative capital structure with 37% LTV and average tenure of almost 7 years at average interest cost of 1.2% p.
a.
Growth
EUR 7bn new development pipeline with c. 18k residential units focused on top 8 cities in Germany, thereof c. 9k units as "build-to-hold" on
Deutsche Wohnen's
balance sheet
Opportunities
Long-term aim to grow the share of "build-to-hold" portfolio to around 30% of current fair value of property stock

Bundling of development platforms under the leadership of QUARTERBACK to streamline process and maximize efficiency

Clearly defined path to become climate neutral by 2040
ESG
Deutsche Wohnen's
social engagement goes far beyond legal requirements (e.
g. implementation of EUR 30m Corona relief fund, no rental
increases during Corona pandemic, adherence to our "promise to tenants")

Tenant satisfaction further improved to 82% based on latest survey; also employee satisfaction remains high with 84%

ESG increasingly anchored in remuneration system for management board
Portfolio
Strategic transformation of property portfolio
is aimed to cater for incremental growth in
qualitative and quantitative terms: disposal of non-strategic
assets at valuation premiums combined with focus on ESG-aligned investments into the existing Core+
portfolio as well as the "build-to-hold"
development pipeline
transformation
In the short-term, value creation is generated by way of FFO II contribution from disposals

In the mid to long-term, the defined transformation process is expected to provide significant organic growth resulting in EBITDA accretion

Key strategic challenges for the German residential real estate industry for the next decades

Mission climate neutrality

The two key fields of action

    1. Reducing energy consumption
    1. Increasing renewable energies & on-site power generation

Impact on the goal of climate neutrality

2040

Climate neutrality Deutsche Wohnen

CO2 target path until 2040

1) The climate path shown is calculated on the basis of the CO2 technology tool provided by the Housing Initiative 2050 (IW.2050), it is excl. nursing homes. This is used industry-wide as the basis for setting a climate target path for housing companies. The target corridor of < 12 kg CO2e/sqm is derived from the available CO2 budget for the sector and industry-wide accepted as the level of CO2 emissions sufficient to achieve climate neutrality in the building sector. 2) This metric represents the theoretical CO2 intensity per sqm for a given product cluster of a standard house with construction-period standards.

EUR 1.5 bn investments in energetic refurbishment of existing buildings until 2040

Deutsche Wohnen will increase share of energetic refurbishments to EUR 1.5 bn to achieve >30% CO2 reduction by 2040. Given the good condition of the building stock, this will be achievable at good returns

1) This relates purely to investments in building modernization. Measures relating to re-lettings and capitalized maintenance are not included.

EUR 0.5 bn investments to expand heat and power generation with low CO2 footprint

1) Vattenfall, district heating supplier for Berlin, publicly announced to supply 100% climate-neutral generated heat for Berlin by 2050 at the latest.

Extensive project pipeline focused on sustainable new construction

  • Creating a center-of-competence for new construction in Germany while focusing on sustainable building
  • Ensuring sustainable approach through membership in the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and the aspiration to strive for at least the Gold Standard
  • Focusing on wood hybrid construction: Depending on the type of building wood hybrid construction for example releases 50–701 kg less CO2 per sqm of floor area compared to conventional construction

Daumstraße–Berlin Deutsche Wohnen is planning a unique neighbourhood development with timber hybrid construction

  • 287 apartments
  • Smartliving applications
  • eMobility with own mobility hub
  • DGNB Gold Standard
  • KfW 55 standard
  • Cradle2Cradle approach
  • Holistic energy concept
  • Home office workstations for tenants

© BRH Generalplaner GmbH

1) This is based on information from the DGNB and takes into account the various life cycle phases of a building over a 50-year period (production of the entire building component, energy use during operation, replacement of parts with a service life shorter than 50 years, etc.)

Strategic platform for residential project development

1) Pipeline (without buliding right); 2) Project development incl. building right; 3) incl. Hamburg (2%), Duesseldorf/Cologne (2%), Frankfurt a. M. (2%), other (7%)

Balancing climate costs through CO2 pricing

Current legal situation

  • National emissions trading system started in 2021 with a fixed path until 2025
  • CO2 tax currently forms part of recoverable expenses
  • Politically, it is currently being discussed how the CO2 tax should be shared between tenants and landlords

Our proposal for a socially acceptable solution

  • Landlord continues to receive full refinancing for energy modernizations
  • Tenants and landlords bear a share of the CO2 costs, depending on the building energy efficiency
  • Tenant is supported with modernization costs from CO2 pricing funds

Generation of green energy in the neighborhood

Deutsche Wohnen has founded SYNVIA energy for the expansion of PV and the marketing of decentrally generated energy as tenant electricity

Note: The dynamics on the energy market cannot be estimated and accordingly our PV-expansion and connected calculations are a theoretical perspective taking into account the presumed developments on the energy market. Unpredictable changes in the electricity composition can affect the measures presented here.

EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV)

The EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV) reflects the value which is required to recover assets of the company with same capital structure. Deutsche Wohnen has not opted for the off balance sheet valuation of intangible assets

EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA)

The EPRA NTA reflects the current net asset value with the underlying assumption that entities buy and sell assets. Deferred tax liabilities are adjusted for investment properties. The NTA corresponds broadly to the so far reported EPRA NAV adjusted by goodwill. For Deutsche Wohnen the NTA is of particular relevance. Deutsche Wohnen has not made use of the possibility to add real estate transfer tax and therefore based calculations on the IFRS balance sheet (net) values

EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV)

The EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV) represents the shareholder value if company assets are sold and liabilities are repaid prematurely. The NDV is comparable to the so far reported NNNAV and will replace it in the future

Geographical allocation of the nursing and assisted living portfolio

Deutsche Wohnen business model superior to most peers as owner with operational know-how, exposed to lower risk and low cost of funding

1) Units include beds as well as places for assisted lviing

Demographic trends in Germany underpin rising demand

▪ Nursing care market driven by (irreversible) demographic trends increasing demand for social, medical and nursing services − Increase in demand until 2040 by c. 40%, corresponding to additional 380k beds − New construction cannot meet increase in demand (supply demand imbalance) ▪ Main reasons for aging German population are: − Decreasing birth rates − Ageing of former baby boomer generations − Increasing life expectancy ▪ Until 2040 the age group >80 years is expected to increase by 30% − Approx. 10% of the German population will be >80 years in 2040 − Increased demand for specialized facilities to serve e. g. Alzheimer's disease/dementia ▪ The requirement for professional service structures in nursing care are further boosted by ongoing trends: − Increasing mobility − Bigger distance between family members − Higher share of employment of all family members Increasing share of age groups 65+ and 80+ Ageing population leads to increasing demand for nursing homes

financing

Prices for nursing care services strictly regulated and negotiated with authorities and revised every 1–2 years,
usually above cost inflation

Total cost for a nursing home place is funded by the respective resident, long-term care insurance and,
if required, social welfare (depending on residents' income)

Vast majority of nursing services costs is financed by long-term care insurance; level of reimbursements
are defined by laws, depending on level of care required

Accommodation & catering as well as investment costs are, in principle, financed by resident (or social welfare system);
investment rates are set freely for resident not receiving public aid

Operators are free to generate additional revenues from secondary services, financed by respective resident

Overview of regulatory environment for nursing homes (2/2)

  • Germany is one of few countries which requires all citizens to have either public or private long-term care insurance
    • − Care Funds (Pflegekassen) provide a cost cover for carerelated services to the operator, based on the level of patient care necessary
    • − Care Funds supported by mandatory social insurance as provided by care insurance law1
    • − Funded at a contribution rate of 3.05% of gross salary and 3.30% respectively for childless employees
  • In addition to national regulation, there are different regional legislations on fit-out standards, multi-occupancy ratios minimum room measurement and employee skills (not homogeneous)

Germany has one of the most stable funding systems for long-term care in Europe

  • − Private operators manage c. 42%
  • − Many small (family) operators, often with less than 10 facilities and capex backlog
  • Occupancy levels vary widely across operators and regions
    • − Average occupancy rate of c. 90%
    • − Free capacity in many instances does not fulfil today's standards for nursing homes (i. e.: free capacity ≠ available capacity)
  • Significant consolidation trend among private operators in recent years
    • − 3 of the top 5 operators are international companies
    • − Consolidation is expected to continue and to accelerate professionalism (and therewith profitability) of overall sector
  • Private operators increase their capacity the fastest (by acquisition or greenfield projects); growth of non-profit operators limited by funding constraints
