LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
After the successful conclusion to the 2016 financial year with value-adding growth and a significant increase in earnings, we are now looking back at the beginning of 2017 in our interim report on the first quarter.
The operating performance was extremely positive again in the first quarter of 2017. This is clearly reflected in our key figures. Income from rents and leases was up 20.3% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of the previous year. FFO, a key control parameter, climbed by 19.9% in the first three months of this financial year.
After increasing the value of our portfolio to more than €1 billion as at the end of 2016, we posted further growth in the portfolio on 2 January 2017 already, when ownership of a modern, high-quality office property – the O³ in Cologne – was transferred to us. The purchase agreement for the O³ was not notarised until the end of November 2016. However, the conditions for the transfer of ownership were met rapidly and earlier than expected, with the effect that the property will now contribute rental income and FFO for the whole of 2017. The purchase price was €48.9 million.
During the first quarter, purchase agreements were signed for another two retail properties in the Marzahn district of Berlin and in Hallstadt near Bamberg. The property in Berlin with Kaufland as its main tenant and the "market Oberfranken" in Hallstadt with Müller, tegut, C&A, Expert and ALDI as its main tenants are in line with our acquisition strategy and represent an ideal addition to the HAMBORNER portfolio. Ownership was transferred at the end of the first quarter of 2017 already. The total investment volume for the two properties comes to approximately €60 million. Following the additions in the first quarter, HAMBORNER had a portfolio of 72 properties with a fair value of around €1.2 billion as at 31March2017.
In the second half of 2017, the properties acquired in 2016 in Kiel, Hanau and Passau will be transferred to the HAMBORNER portfolio and thus also contribute to growth in rental income and FFO. We are therefore looking ahead to the rest of the year with great confidence.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held at Stadthalle Mülheim an der Ruhr at 10.00 a.m. on Wednesday, 10 May 2017. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board would be delighted to see you there.
On that note, we would like to thank you for your trust and wish you and ourselves continued success in 2017.
Duisburg, May 2017
Dr Rüdiger Mrotzek Hans Richard Schmitz
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
General Economic Conditions
According to the Joint Economic Forecast by the leading economic research institutes for spring 2017, the German economy is experiencing a moderate upturn for the fifth year in a row now. This upturn is driven in particular by less volatile consumer spending, with the result that momentum is generally low in comparison to previous upturns. The institutes are forecasting a 1.5% increase in gross domestic product for 2017 and a 1.8% increase in 2018.
The positive development on the labour market is continuing. At the end of March, the number of people in employment came to 43.6 million and the unemployment rate was 6.0%. The experts are forecasting an unemployment rate of 5.7% for the year as a whole. After a moderate increase of 0.5% in 2016, consumer prices are expected to rise more sharply again by 1.8% in the current year.
Report on Result of Operations, Net Asset Situation and Financial Position
As expected, the result of operations, net asset situation and financial position of HAMBORNER REIT AG were good in the first three months of 2017.
Result of Operations
By the end of March, we had generated income from rents and leases of €17,648thousand (previous year: €14,667 thousand) from the management of our properties. The increase as against the same period of the previous year was therefore €2,981 thousand or 20.3%. €3,016 thousand (20.6%) of this growth is attributable to property acquisitions in 2016 and the first three months of the current financial year. As a result of property disposals, income declined by a total of €116 thousand (0.8%). Rental income from properties that were in our portfolio in both the first three months of 2016 and the quarter under review (like-for-like) was up €81 thousand (0.6%) on the previous year's level.
The vacancy rate is still at a very low level of 1.3% (previous year: 1.2%) in the first three months of the year under review, including agreed rent guarantees. Not including rent guarantees, the vacancy rate was 1.6% (previous year: 1.6%).
Income from passing on incidental costs to tenants amounted to €2,708 thousand, up €759 thousand on the figure for the same period of the previous year (€1,949 thousand). Expenses for the management of our properties increased by €1,645 thousand to €4,231 thousand (previous year: €2,586 thousand) by the end of March 2017.
Expenses for the maintenance of our land and property portfolio amounted to €764 thousand as at 31 March 2017 compared to €441 thousand in the same period of the previous year. The costs mainly relate to ongoing minor maintenance work.
At €15,361 thousand, the net rental income derived from the above items is €1,772 thousand or 13.0% higher than the value for the same period of the previous year (€13,589 thousand).
Administrative and personnel expenses totalled €1,398 thousand, up 15.3% on the previous year's level (€1,213 thousand). Administrative expenses increased by €32 thousand year-on-year to €344 thousand. At the same time, personnel expenses climbed by €153 thousand to €1,054 thousand. The operating cost ratio, i.e. administrative and personnel expenses to income from rents and leases, declined further to 7.9% (previous year: 8.3%).
Depreciation and amortisation expenses rose by €1,379 thousand to €6,736 thousand in the reporting period after €5,357 thousand in the same period of the previous year as a result of property acquisitions in particular.
Other operating income amounted to €783 thousand in the first quarter of the year under review (previous year: €379 thousand). This income included a compensation payment of €550 thousand from a tenant for the early termination of a rental agreement at the property in Bremen, Linzer Str. In addition, other operating income also includes compensation and reimbursements in connection with property management in the amount of €231 thousand (previous year: €135 thousand) and reversals of provisions of €2 thousand (previous year: €162 thousand).
Other operating expenses amounted to €346 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 (previous year: €352 thousand). This item includes membership fees of €127 thousand (previous year: €105 thousand) and costs of public relations work of €88 thousand (previous year: €95 thousand).
The company's operating result amounted to €7,664 thousand as at the end of March 2017 after €7,046 thousand in the same period of the previous year.
The company generated earnings of €331 thousand (previous year: €2,465 thousand) from the disposal of properties in the first quarter of 2017. The earnings in the reporting period were attributable to the disposal of around 98 thousand m² of our undeveloped land holdings. The higher earnings in the previous year resulted from the disposal of the properties in Dinslaken, Duisburg and Solingen.
The financial result is €-3,578 thousand as against €-3,380 thousand in the same period of the previous year. At €-3,598 thousand (previous year: €-3,381 thousand), the amounts for interest expenses included in the financial result increased as against the same quarter of the previous year, particularly on account of the utilisation of further loans in the previous year and at the beginning of the current financial year to finance property acquisitions.
The first quarter of 2017 was closed with a net profit for the period of €4,417 thousand after €6,131 thousand in the same period of the previous year. This decrease is attributable to the €2,134thousand decline in earnings from the disposal of properties. Accordingly, FFO (funds from operations), i.e. the operating result before depreciation and amortisation expenses and not including proceeds from disposals, increased substantially by 19.9% and amounted to €10,822 thousand in the reporting period (previous year: €9,023 thousand). With 17,715,032 more shares outstanding than in the same period of the previous year, this corresponds to FFO per share of 14 cents (previous year: 15 cents).
Net Asset Situation and Financial Position
On 2 January 2017, ownership of the O³ office property in Cologne was transferred to us. The purchase price for the property amounts to €48.9 million with annual rental income of €2.8 million.
On 8 February 2017, we concluded the purchase agreement for "market Oberfranken" in Hallstadt near Bamberg for a purchase price plus leasehold improvements yet to be performed totalling €43.7 million. The annual rental income amounts to €2.3 million. Ownership was transferred on 23 March 2017.
In addition, the purchase agreement for a retail property in Berlin-Marzahn with Kaufland as the main tenant was concluded on 30 January 2017. The purchase price amounts to €16.2 million with annual rental income of €0.9 million. Ownership was transferred at the end of the first quarter on 31 March 2017.
Ownership of the properties in Hanau, Passau and Kiel, for which purchase agreements were already signed in the previous year, has not yet been transferred. This is expected to take place in the second half of 2017 after the completion of the properties, which are still under construction.
As was already the case on 31 December 2016, the "Non-current assets held for sale" item relates to a retail property in Duisburg, Kaßlerfelder Kreisel, for which a sale agreement was concluded at the end of December 2016. Ownership was transferred to the buyer after the end of the reporting period on 1 April 2017.
The updated fair value of the developed property portfolio taking into account the above changes was €1,223.7 million as at the end of the quarter under review (31 December 2016: €1,115.0 million).
The company had cash and cash equivalents of €14.6 million on 31 March 2017 (31 December 2016: €75.3 million). The change is particularly due to cash outflows from investments in the property portfolio (€109.1 million) and for interest and principal payments (€8.0 million). These are chiefly offset by cash inflows from operating activities (€14.1 million; previous year: €11.5 million) and from the utilisation of loans (€32.5 million). Furthermore, there are other financing commitments of €114.5 million.
On the equity and liabilities side, equity amounted to €566.6 million as at 31 March 2017 after €561.3 million as at 31 December 2016. The reported equity ratio as at the end of the reporting period was 53.9% after 55.8% as at 31 December 2016. The REIT equity ratio was 62.6% after 67.8% as at 31 December 2016.
Current and non-current financial liabilities increased by a net amount of €28.1 million compared to 31 December 2016, particularly as a result of the utilisation of loans in the first quarter of 2017, and amounted to €442.6 million as at the end of the quarter after €414.5 million as at 31 December 2016. The average borrowing rate for loans in place and those agreed but not yet utilised is 2.8%.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments amounted to €-4.6 million as at 31 March 2017, representing an improvement as against 31 December2016 (€-5.5 million).
The net asset value (NAV) of the company was €777.4 million as at the end of the quarter (31 December 2016: €768.5 million). This corresponds to NAV per share of €9.72 as against €9.64 as at 31 December 2016.
Report on Risks and Opportunities
As a property company with a portfolio spread across the whole of Germany, HAMBORNER REIT AG is subject to a number of risks and opportunities that could affect its result of operations, financial position and net assets situation. There are not currently any new significant changes in the assessment of risks and opportunities for the business development of the company as against 31 December 2016. The comments made in the report on risks and opportunities in the 2016 management report therefore still apply.
No risks to the continuation of the company as a going concern are currently discernible.
Forecast Report
As an asset manager for commercial properties, HAMBORNER REIT AG held a portfolio of 72 properties as at 31 March 2017. In future, the company's strategy will be geared towards value-adding growth in the fields of large-scale retail, high street commercial properties and office properties.
We are keeping to our general assessments regarding future business prospects as published most recently in the 2016 annual report. For 2017 as a whole, we are thus anticipating a rise in income from rents and leases of 16% to 18%, not including further potential investments, along with a significant increase in the operating result (FFO) to a level of approximately €43 million to €44 million. The first quarter of 2017 constitutes a good basis for achieving this forecast.

The "Advance payments on investment property" item relates to the property still under construction in Hanau, ownership of which is expected to be transferred after completion in the third quarter of 2017.
During the process of preparing these interim financial statements, we reviewed the fair values of our investment properties as calculated by an independent expert as at 31 December 2016. The review did not identify any factors affecting their value that would have led to a significantly different valuation. Therefore, the estimated fair values calculated by an expert as at 31 December 2016 continue to be reasonable for these interim financial statements. Property additions in Cologne, Hallstadt and Berlin after 31 December 2016 were also valued by an independent expert and included in the fair value measurement disclosure accordingly.
On 31 March 2017, there were obligations arising from notarised purchase agreements for properties in Hanau, Kiel and Passau to pay a total purchase price of €73.2 million. The purchase prices will fall due on fulfilment of the conditions.
With the exception of derivatives recognised at fair value, all assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
For the assets and liabilities recognised at amortised cost, except for the financial liabilities, the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are a good approximation of their fair value.
The fair values of financial liabilities are equal to the present values of the payments associated with the liabilities, taking into account the current interest rate parameters (Level 2 under IFRS 13) as at the end of each reporting period, and amounted to €465,938 thousand as at 31 March this year (31 December 2016: €441,464 thousand).
The derivative financial instruments reported in the statement of financial position are measured at fair value. These are exclusively interest hedges. The fair values result from discounting the expected future cash flows over the residual term of the contracts on the basis of observable market interest rates or yield curves (Level 2 under IFRS 13).
The purchase price for the property in Duisburg, Kaßlerfelder Kreisel, reported under "Non-current assets held for sale" was received on 31 March 2017. Because ownership was not transferred until 1 April 2017 in line with the provisions of the purchase agreement, the purchase price payment of €9,450 thousand was reported as an advance payment received under current "trade payables and other liabilities". A partial amount of €4,191 thousand was transferred to a credit account pledged to the bank in order to replace the real estate lien as collateral for the loan borrowed to the finance the property on acquisition. This credit account is reported in the "cash and cash equivalents" item. Because the company does not have access to the pledged account, the corresponding amount does not form part of cash funds in accordance with IAS 7. For this reason, the "cash and cash equivalents" item of the statement of financial position and the cash funds as at 31 March 2017 differ by an amount of €4,191 thousand.
Significant Related Party Transactions
There were no reportable transactions with related parties in the first quarter of 2017.

The risks and rewards of ownership of the property in Duisburg, Kaßlerfelder Kreisel, reported under "Non-current assets held for sale" as at 31 December 2016 were transferred to the buyer on 1 April 2017.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
General Development on the Capital Market
The German stock markets started 2017 with robust growth. Initially quoting at 11,598 points at the beginning of the year, the DAX index broke past the 12,000-point mark after a series of gains lasting several weeks and climbed to 12,313 points by the end of the quarter.
The stock markets were lent momentum in particular by the positive economic and company data and by the falling euro exchange rate. In addition, abating political uncertainty following the elections in the Netherlands also led to an upturn on the stock markets.
The price performance of HAMBORNER shares was also positive in the first quarter of 2017. As at 31 March 2017, the share price of €9.55was up around 5.6% on its level at the end of 2016. Market capitalisation thus amounted to around €761 million at the end of the quarter.
In the first three months, stock market turnover was well above the previous year's level at an average of around 197,000 shares traded per trading day (average for previous year: around 140,000 shares per trading day).
