QUARTERLY STATEMENT Q12022

dynamic performance

Dear Shareholders,

You will be well aware that your company, DIC Asset AG, has been pursuing a consistent and successful growth strategy for many years now. In addition to consistently achieving the goals we set ourselves, we also deliver what all of our stakeholders expect from a champion for office and logistics properties by working quickly, creatively and reliably. We continued to take great strides in the evolution of your company during the first quarter. Allow me to highlight a few key developments from the past three months.

In March, we acquired a majority stake in VIB Vermögen AG. As well as expanding our assets under management to over EUR 13 billion overnight, this acquisition also significantly increased the share of the logistics asset class within our real estate assets under management. Most importantly, we also bolstered the workforce for our further strategic development with a team of exceptional new colleagues. After all, having in-house expertise and a resilient, informative network are becoming increasingly important aspects of our business. I look forward to working with the VIB Vermögen AG team to continue developing their portfolio and to generate powerful and shared further growth in the logistics sector going forward.

When it comes to growth, however, our absolute performance figures are not the only thing that matters to us, even though they are as impressive as ever. As our business grows, so does our need to take responsibility for the impact of our activities on the environment and society. We firmly believe that our investors, our tenants and you, our dear shareholders, increasingly measure our value and importance by how responsibly we create living and working spaces with our properties. That is why we consistently align our growth with established sustainability criteria. What's more, we can proudly declare that we are leading the way in this respect, too. During the first quarter, independent rating agencies confirmed that we are "best in class" when it comes to sustainability.

Knowing that our growth is responsible and sustainable despite its immense power and the major development steps we have taken enables us to be even more committed to making cross-border investments. This is a logical consequence of our increased involvement in the logistics sector. After all, supply chains are international and know no boundaries, which means we need to invest beyond our borders. During the first quarter, we acquired three logistics properties at key transport and trading hubs in the Netherlands. These are our first investments outside Germany, and we will continue to look for fresh opportunities in neighbouring European countries.

In the modern working world, there is more talk of "New Work" than ever, and we are already making these new office models a reality. This is helping us to become a sought-after partner when it comes to creating the office of tomorrow. That is because the property itself is no longer the only thing that counts, although our broad portfolio means we are excellently positioned in that respect. What really matters now is what you do with the property you have. This means we are not just a landlord but a creative consultant and companion to our clients. In an age where companies increasingly appreciate the necessity of New Work and have plenty of questions about it, we are already able to offer ideas and solutions, and that is a major factor in our success. We let 65,500 sqm of space during the first quarter, an increase of 17%. To pick out just one example, Deutsche Bank extended lease agreements covering 32,000 sqm of space and began renting an additional 7,700 sqm.

Dear shareholders, these times are geopolitically painful and challenging. We all fervently hope that humanity will gain the upper hand and prevail. Companies have a special responsibility in times like these, as commercially successful companies can help to give people stability and a future.

With this in mind, we are not shaping DIC Asset's growth for our own sake. We know that we need to keep things in perspective as we use the tremendous creative power we continued to show in the first quarter. Despite all our growth, we can only be truly successful if we offer significant added value for all our stakeholders that goes beyond mere numbers. And that is what we are doing, as we demonstrated once more during the first quarter.

Dear shareholders, your successful investment in DIC Asset means you have a key role to play in creating added value from our shared activities that means much more than pure profit, and for that I thank you very much.

Segment reporting n Institutional Business

  • Real estate management fees rose, primarily due to higher transaction and performance fees totalling EUR 16.8 million (Q1 2021: EUR 15.5 million). At EUR 8.6 million, asset management, property management and development fees were slightly higher than in the previous year (Q1 2021: EUR 8.5 million)
  • The share of the profit or loss of associates increased, mainly as a result of the higher contribution from transaction-related investment income
  • Operating expenses grew by around 11% year-on-year to EUR 12.8 million, reflecting the strategic expansion of resources associated with the growth of our real estate management platform
  • At EUR -1.3 million, the net interest result was at a similar level to the prior-year quarter
  • The increase in real estate management fees and investment income more than compensated for the rise in operating costs
  • The segment's FFO contribution was up slightly on the previous year at EUR 14.4 million (Q1 2021: EUR 14.2 million)

  • The increase in non-current assets compared to 31 December 2021 is mainly attributable to the rise in investments in associates to EUR 581 million, primarily due to the acquisition of around 36% of shares in VIB Vermögen AG by 31 March 2022
  • Current assets, particularly cash on hand, were EUR 114 million lower than at the end of the year due to the investment in VIB Vermögen AG
