LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
After our positive business performance in 2017 and the subsequent successful start to the new financial year, today we look back on the first half of 2018 in our half-year financial report.
Operating performance was again highly positive in the first half of the year. Income from rents and leases amounted to €41.3 million in the first six months of this year, an increase of 15.4% compared to the same period of the previous year. Funds from operations (FFO), the key operating performance indicator, increased strongly by 17.9% to €26.1 million over the same period. Including rent guarantees, the vacancy rate was at an extremely low level in the first half of 2018 at just 1.0%.
The transfer of ownership of further properties was reported right at the beginning of the year. The properties acquired are three modern, high quality and large-sale retail properties in Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf that are an ideal fit for our portfolio. The properties are leased to the supermarket chain EDEKA on a longterm contract. The total purchase price was €43.7 million. The purchase agreement for another property in Darmstadt was signed in the first quarter of 2018. This is a large retail property with a separate office section on land located in an established business park in Darmstadt-Nord. The retail space is leased to the supermarket chain REWE on a long-term contract. The main office tenants are Herbalife and Alcan Systems. The property, with a purchase price of €42.8 million, was transferred to HAMBORNER on 20 April. Following the additions in the first half of the year, the total value of the HAMBORNER portfolio was €1.45 billion as at 30 June.
We likewise have every confidence for the rest of the year. In light of the positive business performance in the first half of the year, instead of growth of between 8% and 10%, we are now forecasting a rise in income from rents and leases of 10% to 12% for 2018 as a whole. At 10% to 12%, we also expect a higher increase in FFO than initially assumed.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our shareholders for their confidence, and we look forward to a successful second half of 2018.
Duisburg, August 2018
Dr Rüdiger Mrotzek Hans Richard Schmitz
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
General Economic Conditions
The German economy is continuing its solid growth. After an increase of 0.3% in gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2018, it is expected to have risen by 0.4% in the second quarter. While the assessment of the current economic situation remains highly positive, expectations are being muted by foreign policy risks and uncertainty in connection with the smouldering trade conflict with the US. Nevertheless, leading economic research institutes are currently projecting growth of between 1.8% and 2.0% for 2018 as a whole.
According to the German Federal Ministry of Economics, the most important pillar of the German economy will continue to be private consumer spending, which is benefiting from rising income and the consistently good labour market situation. Around 2.3 million people were out of work in June 2018 according to the Federal Employment Agency. This corresponds to an unemployment rate of 5.0%. The number of people in employment rose by 0.6 million as against the previous year to 44.8 million.
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 half of 2018.
Result of Operations
Income from rents and leases climbed by €5,507 thousand or 15.4% as against the same period of the previous year to €41,334 thousand in the first half of 2018 (€35,827 thousand). Income from property additions in 2017 and the first half of 2018 in particular contributed €5,542 thousand (15.5%) to this figure. Rental income from properties that were in our portfolio in both the first six months of 2017 and the reporting half-year (like-for-like) was €269 thousand (0.8%) higher than the previous year's level. Income declined by a total of €304 thousand (0.8%) as a result of property disposals in the previous year.
The vacancy rate is still at an extremely low level – even lower than in the previous year. Including agreed rent guarantees, it was 1.0% in the first half of the reporting year (previous year: 1.5%). Not including rent guarantees, the vacancy rate was 1.5% (previous year: 1.7%).
Income from incidental costs charged to tenants amounted to €6,415 thousand, €844 thousand or 15.1% higher than in the same period of the previous year (€5,571 thousand). Expenses for the management of our properties increased by €1,495 thousand (19.4%) to €9,210 thousand (previous year: €7,715 thousand) by the end of June 2018.
Expenses for the maintenance of our land and property portfolio increased by €499 thousand year-on-year to €2,289 thousand (previous year: €1,790 thousand). The expenses relate to minor ongoing maintenance and various planned measures. There were also significant maintenance expenses of €555 thousand (previous year: €246 thousand) in the first half of the year in connection with new leases and lease renewals.
At €36,250 thousand, the net rental income derived from the above items is €4,357 thousand or 13.7% higher than the value for the same period of the previous year (€31,893 thousand).
Administrative and personnel expenses totalled €2,816 thousand, up only €47 thousand or 1.7% on the previous year's level (€2,769 thousand). Administrative expenses increased by €16 thousand (2.3%) as against the previous year and personnel expenses rose by €31 thousand (1.5%). The operating cost ratio, i.e. administrative and personnel expenses to income from rents and leases, declined further as a result of the low rise in administrative and personnel expenses relative to rental income, and was 6.8% (previous year: 7.7%).
Depreciation and amortisation expenses rose by €2,732 thousand to €16,594 thousand in the reporting period after €13,862 thousand in the same period of the previous year as a result of property acquisitions in particular.
Other operating income amounted to €846 thousand in the first half of 2018 (previous year: €862 thousand). The income includes €416 thousand (previous year: €550 thousand) in compensation payments from tenants for the early termination of leases. Furthermore, the item includes compensation, reimbursements and expenses passed on in connection with property management of €272 thousand (previous year: €274 thousand).
Other operating expenses amounted to €582 thousand in the first half of 2018 (previous year: €578 thousand). This item includes membership fees of €132 thousand (previous year: €130 thousand) and costs of public relations work of €122 thousand (previous year: €107 thousand). Furthermore, €146 thousand (previous year: €146 thousand) relates to input tax adjustments due to the conclusion of VAT-exempt leases (section 15a of the Umsatzsteuergesetz (UStG – German VAT Act), which were passed on to tenants or compensated for by corresponding rent adjustments.
The operating result for the first half of 2018 amounted to €17,104 thousand after €15,546 thousand in the same period of the previous year.
No properties were sold in the first half of 2018. The company generated earnings of €2,604 thousand in the same period of the previous from the disposal of a property in Duisburg and undeveloped land.
The financial result is €-7,592 thousand as against €-7,268 thousand in the same period of the previous year. €-7,402 thousand (previous year: €-7,175 thousand) of this relates to interest expenses on loans. While interest expenses from borrowing additional loans for the pro rata debt financing of property acquisitions increased by €1,260 thousand, the like-for-like interest expense on the loans fell by €1,041 thousand or 15.4%. In particular, this was as a result of lower interest rates on renewed or refinanced loans.
The first half of the year closed with a net profit for the period of €9,512 thousand after €10,882 thousand in the same period of the previous year. The decline resulted in particular from the sale of properties in the previous year, whereas there were no disposals in the first half of the reporting year. Funds from operations (FFO), i.e. the operating result before depreciation and amortisation expenses and not including proceeds from disposals, increased by 17.9% and amounted to €26,106 thousand in the reporting period (previous year: €22,140 thousand). This corresponds to FFO per share of 33 cents (previous year: 28 cents).
Net Asset Situation and Financial Position
Three retail properties in Bonn, Düsseldorf and Cologne with a purchase price of €43.7 million were already added in the first quarter of the reporting year. This was followed in the second quarter by the transfer of ownership of a retail and office property in Darmstadt at a purchase price of €42.8 million on 20 April.
The updated fair value of the developed property portfolio was €1,454.4 million as at the end of the quarter (31 December 2017: €1,362.6 million).
The company had cash and cash equivalents of €10.5 million on 30 June 2018 as against €58.1 million as at 31 December 2017. Cash outflows for investments in the property portfolio (€-96.0 million), the dividend payment for the 2017 financial year (€-35.9 million) and interest and principal repayments for loans (€-36.3 million) were essentially offset by cash inflows from operating activities (€32.5 million) and the issue of promissory note loans (€75.0 million). In addition to its cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2018, the company also has financing commitments of €74.0 million at its disposal.
Equity amounted to €522.5 million as at 30 June 2018 after €548.2 million as at 31 December 2017. The reported equity ratio as at the end of the period was 43.4% after 46.7% as at 31 December 2017. The REIT equity ratio was 54.5% after 59.0% as at 31 December 2017.
Current and non-current financial liabilities increased by a net amount of €58.8 million as a result of the issue of promissory note loans in the first half of 2018 in particular, and amounted to €654.5 million as at the end of the first half of the year after €595.7 million as at 31 December 2017. The average borrowing rate for loans in place and those agreed but not yet utilised is 2.2%.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments was €-1.9 million as at 30 June 2018, having improved further as against 31 December 2017 (€-2.5 million).
The net asset value (NAV) of the company was €797.2 million as at the end of first half of the year (31 December 2017: €808.9 million). This corresponds to NAV per share of €10.00. The decline as against 31 December 2017 (€10.15) was largely as a result of the dividend of €0.45 per share distributed in May. NAV per share was up by 6.2% as against the same date of the previous year (30 June 2017: €9.42). NAV is determined by the fair values of the company's assets – essentially the value of its properties – net of borrowed capital.
Report on Risks and Opportunities
As a property company with a portfolio distributed across the whole of Germany, HAMBORNER REIT AG is exposed to a number of risks and opportunities that could affect its result of operations, net assets situation and financial position. There are not currently any new significant changes in the assessment of risks to, and opportunities for, the business development of the company as against 31 December 2017. The comments made in the "Report on Risks and Opportunities" in the 2017 management report therefore still apply.
No risks to the continuation of the company as a going concern are currently discernible.
Forecast Report
As a real estate company, HAMBORNER REIT AG held a portfolio of 78 commercial properties as at 30 June 2018. In future, the company's strategy will be geared towards value-adding growth in the fields of retail, high street and office properties.
We are standing by our basic estimates for future business prospects as published in the 2017 annual report. Following the successful first half of the year, instead of growth of between 8% and 10%, we are now forecasting a rise in income from rents and leases of 10% to 12% for 2018 as a whole. At 10% to 12%, we also expect a higher increase in FFO than initially assumed.

This interim report of HAMBORNER REIT AG as at and for the period ended 30 June 2018 has been prepared in accordance with those International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS (including IAS 34)) applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the European Union, the requirements of the German Accounting Standard No. 16 of DRSC (German Accounting Standards Committee) on interim reporting and in accordance with the requirements of section 37w of the Wertpapierhandelsgesetz (WpHG – German Securities Trading Act). The scope of its reporting is condensed compared to the IFRS separate financial statements as at 31 December 2017.
The interim financial statements as at and for the period ended 30 June 2018 are based on the same accounting policies as the separate IFRS financial statements as at 31 December 2017. The accounting standards effective from 1 January 2018 that have been endorsed by the EU and revised were complied with. However, the application of these accounting standards had no significant impact on the interim financial statements.
This interim report was neither audited by an auditor in accordance with section 317 HGB nor reviewed by an auditor.
In the opinion of the Management Board, the interim report contains all the significant information needed to understand the changes in the result of operations, net asset situation and financial position of HAMBORNER REIT AG since the last annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Material Transactions in the First Half of 2018
Ownership of the properties in Bonn, Düsseldorf and Cologne (2 January 2018) and Darmstadt (20 April 2018) was transferred in the first half of 2018. The investment volume not including incidental costs of acquisition amounted to €86.5 million.
To finance its further growth, the company issued promissory note loans with a total volume of €75.0 million in March. The loans have terms of five or seven years.
Other Selected Notes
In 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 2017. The write-down of €0.8 million for a leasehold improvement on the property in Hallstadt taken into account by the expert as at 31 December 2017 has been reversed as the corresponding work was completed as at the end of the reporting period. Furthermore, the fair value of the property acquired in Kiel at the end of the previous year following a project development was increased by €1.3 million as a long-term lease was secured for some of the space still vacant. The review did not identify any further factors affecting the fair value of those properties that would have led to a significantly different valuation as at 30 June 2018. Therefore, the estimated fair values as at 31 December 2017 continue to be reasonable for these interim financial statements. Property additions in Bonn, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Darmstadt after 31 December 2017 were also valued by an independent expert and included in reporting accordingly.
Owing to the rise in capital market interest rates, the discount rate used to measure pension obligations already increased to 1.82% as at 31 March 2018 (31 December 2017: 1.64%). This interest adjustment caused pension provisions to fall by €130 thousand, which was recognised in the revaluation surplus.
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 amount to €679,495 thousand as at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: €595,661 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).
Significant Related Party Transactions
There were no reportable transactions with related parties in the first half of 2018.
Events after the End of the Reporting Period
There were no significant events after the end of the reporting period.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the net asset situation, financial position and result of operations of the company, and the interim management report of the company includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the company, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the company for the remaining months of the financial year.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
General Development on the Capital Market
Despite a promising start to 2018, national and international stock markets reported losses over the first half of the year. After the DAX had ended 2017 at 12,918 points, the index continued its positive development and rose to a new all-time high of 13,597 points by the end of January.

Despite falling growth forecasts for the German economy, the DAX enjoyed a moderate rise in the second quarter of 2018 and ended the first half of the year at 12,306 points.
