Once again, we could not take our market environment for granted in the first quarter of 2024, as existing uncertainty in the real estate market coupled with a weak economy presented us with challenging conditions.
The transaction market continues to adopt a wait-and-see approach when it comes to macroeconomic trends, resulting in only a few isolated transactions. While the market is in agreement that a full recovery remains out of reach in the immediate term, there are some initial signs of a upturn in activity.
This wider situation is significantly impacting our business. Nevertheless, our Q1 results show a positive performance in terms of our operating strength and the future configuration of our company.
Our letting business recorded like-for-like growth of 4.6% compared to the prior-year quarter, while our institutional business continues to consolidate its position as a stabilising influence. We reached a major milestone in the first quarter of 2024 when we secured sustainable financing by reorganising our bridging loan and promissory note loans as part of StaRUG proceedings.
This decision was based on carefully prepared, externally reviewed corporate planning for the period from 2024 to 2026, and provides a firm foundation the future of our business. We are also making further progress in our rental business and in implementing our 2024 business plan.
We are keeping our promises by:
• completing sales that were notarised in the previous quarter
• keeping a close eye on our debt ratios (our LTV was 59,4% at the end of March, a decrease of 70 base points compared to the previous quarter)
By doing this, our hard-working team is once again demonstrating that Branicks Group AG can ensure stability and create operating growth even in challenging times.





Assets under management (AuM) on the Branicks platform totalled EUR 13.1 billion as at 31 March 2024. This is a decrease of 7% compared with the prior-year reporting date (31 March 2023) due in particular to sales with transfer of possession, benefits and associated risks implemented as part of the ongoing efforts to optimise the portfolio and balance sheet. Nevertheless, assets under management remained almost unchanged compared to 31 December 2023 (EUR 13.2 billion). The Commercial Portfolio contracted by around 10% year year-on-year, from EUR 4.1 billion as at 31 March 2023 to EUR 3.7 billion as at 31 March 2024. Sales with a total volume of EUR 241 million have been transferred during that period. A forward deal from the previous year (the "innovation parc" in Langenhagen) was transferred in July 2023. Compared to 31 December 2023, when the market value was determined to be EUR 3.6 billion, assets under management in the proprietary portfolio increased slightly to EUR 3.7 billion due to the closing of the forward deal for a property worth around EUR 48 million.
Assets under management in the Institutional Business were around EUR 9.4 billion as at 31 March 2024, approximately 6% down on the previous year's figure of EUR 10.0 billion. This trend is driven mainly by measurement effects of around EUR 600 million and sales made during the course of the year, with one property from the RLI Logistics Fund – Germany II special fund sold in early July and a property in Hamburg in sold December 2023. This was partially offset by an acquisition in the Netherlands. Compared to 31 December 2023, the AuM figure for the Institutional Business at EUR 9.6 billion was virtually unchanged.
At the time this interim report was published, around EUR 52 million in sales and no acquisitions had been notarised on the platform since the start of the year. The Company is planning to notarise further sales from the proprietary portfolio in the course of the year, and these notarisations are at an advanced stage.

While the Branicks platform's letting performance by area did not quite reach the prior-year period's high figure (123,400 sqm) in the first three months of 2024, it remained well above expectations at 109,000 sqm, due in particular to several large-volume lease renewals.
Annualised rental income was significantly higher than the previous year's figure at around EUR 18.5 million (previous year: approximately EUR 10.5 million). This year-on-year growth of 76% was primarily driven by the letting of office space in the centre of Frankfurt. There were three larger active renewals covering around 83,000 sqm of total space in the first quarter of 2024, with around 53,000 sqm attributable to the Institutional Business with space in Frankfurt and Mönchengladbach and approximately 30,000 sqm to the Commercial Portfolio within the VIB portfolio.
Of the rental income contracted in the reporting period, around EUR 3.0 million relates to the Commercial Portfolio and around EUR 15.5 million to the Institutional Business (previous year: EUR 4.4 million and EUR 6.1 million, respectively). Renewals accounted for a rental volume of EUR 17,9 million and new leases for EUR 0.6 million (previous year: EUR 7.6 million and EUR 2.9 million, respectively).
Like-for-like rental income (not including portfolio additions and disposals) for the entire portfolio under management rose by 4.6% in the 12 months to 31 March 2024. Like-for-like growth reached 2.3% in the Commercial Portfolio and 5.6% in the Institutional Business. Indexation continued to play a major role in both segments, as well as the fact that the landmark Global Tower property in Frankfurt is now fully let in the Institutional Business.
Around 67% of the lease expiry volume relates to 2028 onwards. The Company is already holding proactive discussions with users regarding larger leases set to expire in 2024 and 2025.

Strategic asset classes: Following the sales made in the past 12 months since 1 April 2023, office and logistics together now account for 80% of market value (previous year: 78%).
Office properties are the largest asset class at 40% of market value. At EUR 74.6 million, they account for around 42% of annualised rents.
The logistics asset class follows in second place, representing a share of just under 40% of the market value of the portfolio, which at EUR 71.2 million accounts for around 40% of rents.
At 5.5%, the EPRA vacancy rate as at 31 March 2024 was up year-on-year mainly on account of sales (31 March 2023: 4.9%).
At 4.7 years, WALT remains at a solid level (31 March 2023: 5.1 years). This decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of retail properties.
The gross rental yield of 5.1% in the Commercial Portfolio (excluding project developments and repositioning properties) was up slightly year-on-year (31 March 2023: 4.8%).

Assets under Management (AuM) in the third-party business for institutional investors as at 31 March 2024 fell slightly to EUR 9.4 billion year-on-year (31 March 2023: EUR 10.0 billion).
As at 31 December 2023, AuM amounted to EUR 9.6 billion, which represents a marginal reduc-tion in the first quarter. Since the beginning of the year, one property valued at EUR 47 million that was notarised last year has been sold.
There have been no acquisitions in the Institutional Business since the beginning of the year. Branicks currently manages 33 vehicles (18 pool funds totalling EUR 6.0 billion, 9 club deals total-ling EUR 1.7 billion and 6 separate accounts totalling EUR 1.9 billion) for a total of 172 institutional investors.
Around 61% of equity comes from investors who have invested in more than one Branicks in-vestment product. At present, around EUR 95 million in committed equity remains available.
Fundraising for shares yet to be placed is currently continuing – with the aim of placing all of the shares with institutional investors before the end of the current financial year.
These shares are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet as "non-current assets held for sale" as at 31 March 2024. The Company is also in discussions and explores the market for other investment products.

Based on subscribed equity as at 31 March 2024

Net rental income decreased by EUR 5.5 million (-12.5%) to EUR 44.4 million, primarily because the prior-year quarter still included rents from properties in the VIB Retail Balance I fund and other properties sold in 2023 that overcompensate the lfl-increase of 2.3%.
The share of the profit or loss of associates in contrast to Q1 2023 contains the share of profits in VIB Retail Balance I.
Depreciation and amortisation of EUR 17.9 million remained virtually unchanged from the previous year (EUR 17.2 million).
Operational expenditures in this segment amount to EUR 5.9 million, which is almost on the previos year level (previous year: EUR 5.7 million). The EUR 0.6 million decline in personnel costs to EUR 3.2 million (previous year: EUR 3.8 million) almost fully offset the increase in administrative expenses due to legal and consulting costs by EUR 0.8 million to 2.7 million.
The net interest result of EUR -23.9 million (previous year: EUR -26.0 million) was primarily reduced due to repayments of debt in 2023, e.g. bridge loan and retail bond.
The segment's FFO contribution after deducting minority interests declined to EUR 8.9 million (previous year: EUR 12.9 million), primarily on account of lower net rental income compared with the previous year.

Operational expenditures were down on the previous year's figure of EUR 11.0 million at EUR 9.7 million, primarily due to lower personnel expenses of EUR 6.2 million (previous year: EUR 7.3 million).
