The plus and minus signs assigned to the changes reflect the business point of view: improvements are shown with a plus sign (+), deteriorations with a minus sign (-). Very high positive or negative per cent changes are reported as ≥+100% or ≤-100%. The designation "not applicable" (n. a.) is used when there is a change in the sign (i.e. from plus to minus or from minus to plus) and for changes in percentage rates. Rounding differences may result from the use of automatic data processing equipment for the addition of rounded amounts and percentage rates.

Introduction by the Executive Board

Dear Shareholders,

Although the markets generally remained under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures during the first half of 2021, IMMOFINANZ produced very good results. The results of operations rose by 73% to EUR 103.3 million, above all due to an increase in the results of asset management and the results of property development combined with cost savings. In addition, the progress of vaccination campaigns and the related economic upturn supported the recovery of part of the crisis-related property write-downs from the previous year. Net profit turned strongly positive and, at EUR 228.6 million, is substantially higher than the pre-crisis half-year in 2019. We also recorded an improvement of nearly 8% to EUR 64.4 million in FFO 1, which excludes valuation results and reflects the company's operating cash flow earning power. That places us substantially above the FFO 1 from the 2019 reference period before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The occupancy rate in our properties equals 94.1% and continues to represent a high level in international comparison. Our retail properties are essentially fully rented with an occupancy rate of 97.5%, and all of the space in our shopping centers and retail parks is open without limitation. The office business registered a slight decline in the occupancy rate to 90.3% during the first half-year – primarily due to a reduction in the space leased by a major tenant in Germany who was hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. This newly available space is now being marketed as flexible myhive solutions. Despite the still generally challenging environment, we completed several new major long-term rentals: for example, nearly 11,000 sqm to a leading Romanian medical center provider in Bucharest.

Increase in the dividend recommendation for 2020

In view of the strong earnings and financial situation and successful crisis management, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will make a recommendation to the annual general meeting for the 2020 financial year to increase the dividend from EUR 0.55 per share to EUR 0.75 per share.

Pioneering role in Europe

The development of our business and portfolio in the first half of 2021 underscores the excellent position of our real estate products in both crisis times and for the following years as well as our pioneering role in Europe – with regard to our high-quality, flexible myhive office solutions and our standing as Europe's leading retail park operator. We continued our growth course during the first half-year, as announced, and acquired an office building at a top location in the center of Bucharest. It will now be converted into a high-quality, sustainable myhive building and, starting in 2024, will create an architectonic and sustainable green eye-catcher for the Romanian capital. In July, shortly after the end of the reporting period, we entered the Italian market with our STOP SHOP retail brand. STOP SHOP is now present in ten European countries – and our plans call for further expansion, in Italy and also in other markets.

We are very well positioned for this growth with a robust balance sheet structure, which includes an equity ratio of 47.4% and a net loan-to-value ratio of 38.1%, as well as more than one billion euros of available liquidity. Our growth course is supported by an investment grade rating from S&P (BBB- with stable outlook) and favourable financing costs of 1.91%. The announcement in late August 2021 of the premature conversion of our mandatory convertible bond (nominal value: EUR 120 million) due to the advantageous development of our share price will save more than EUR 8 million of interest up to the original end of the bond term in 2023.

Voluntary offer to S IMMO shareholders

IMMOFINANZ has been the largest shareholder of S IMMO since autumn 2018 and this company, in turn, holds an investment in IMMOFINANZ. After the extensive analysis of all options, we decided in March this year to prepare a voluntary takeover offer for the shareholders of S IMMO and published this offer in May.

At the S IMMO general meeting on 24 June 2021, a clear majority equalling roughly 61% of represented share capital voted for the cancellation of the maximum voting right. The resolution did not, however, receive the necessary 75% majority. A key condition for our takeover offer was therefore not met, and the offer was subsequently cancelled.

Successful growth and great potential for the new business field of affordable, sustainable housing

We are continuing to grow in line with our strategy as one of the leading European commercial property companies. In the office business, this includes the further expansion of our myhive brand in the capital cities of our core countries – for example through the recent acquisition of an office building at a top site in Bucharest. Our plans for the STOP SHOP retail parks include an increase to roughly 140 locations. The country focus will be placed on the Adriatic region, including Italy and Croatia, CEE and, selectively, also on Western Europe. Our pipeline of potential acquisitions and development projects, as seen over the next five years, has a total volume of more than one billion euros.

In addition, we plan to diversify into a further asset class with our market entry into affordable rental housing. Our concept "Top on STOP" involves the overbuilding of the single-story retail parks in our STOP SHOP brand and the creation of sustainable, low-cost housing directly adjacent to local suppliers and recreational facilities. With this densification, we are ensuring the optimised, responsible utilisation of valuable land resources. Sustainable, modular wood construction will allow for combinations ranging from mini-lofts to family apartments, while a climate-neutral energy concept covers the use of photovoltaics, heat recovery and geothermal energy as well as the unsealing of land through greening and the installation of common outdoor meeting zones.

The potential in our existing portfolio is substantial: Over the medium term, we plan to overbuild roughly 50% of our current and future STOP SHOP locations with affordable rental apartments. That would represent up to 600,000 sqm of housing space or nearly 12,000 smart and sustainable apartments. We are starting with pilot projects in Austria and the neighbouring countries and – as with our other real estate products – a high degree of standardisation will then allow for rapid roll-out with an attractive residential return for our shareholders.

IMMOFINANZ on the Capital Market

The market environment and the IMMOFINANZ share

The capital markets continued the recovery which began in 2020 during the first six months of 2021, supported by the progress of vaccination campaigns and by the ongoing monetary and fiscal policies implemented in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising vaccination rates and hopes of a speedy end to the COVID-19 crisis, with the expected economic recovery, drove the exchanges to in part new highs during the first half of 2021.

The pan-European index EURO STOXX 600 rose by 13.5% over year-end 2020 to 452.84 points at the end of June. The EPRA Developed Europe real estate branch index (ex UK) recorded an improvement of 5.1% during this same period. Developments on the Austrian stock market during the first half-year were very positive due to the procyclical focus, and Vienna's leading ATX index increased 22.4% by the end of June. The Immobilien-ATX was 14.7% higher than at year-end 2020.

The IMMOFINANZ share started the 2021 financial year at EUR 16.97 and closed at EUR 17.41 on 31 March (+2.6% since the beginning of the year). The general recovery on the global stock markets led to an increase in the share price to EUR 18.95 at the end of June, for a plus of 11.7% since the beginning of the year. As of the editorial deadline for this report (27 August 2021), the share price equalled EUR 20.92 (+23.3% since the beginning of the year).

However, the spread of new COVID-19 mutations and the prospects of new containment measures represent a source of uncertainty for the further development of the stock markets during the second half of 2021.

Share capital and voluntary takeover offer to the shareholders of S IMMO

The share capital of IMMOFINANZ AG remained unchanged at EUR 123.3 million as of 30 June 2021 and is divided into 123,293,795 bearer shares. The number of treasury shares was also constant at 6,998,228 and represented 5.68% of share capital (31 December 2020: 6,998,228 shares and 5.68%).

On 19 May 2021, IMMOFINANZ published the offer documents for the voluntary takeover offer to the shareholders of S IMMO AG. The offer was limited to the period from 19 May 2021 to 16 July 2021. The offer price equalled EUR 22.25 per share and represented a premium of 40.3% over the six-month VWAP of the S IMMO share. In June 2021, the general meeting of S IMMO failed to reach the necessary majority to revoke the maximum voting right. Consequently, a key condition for IMMOFINANZ's takeover offer to S IMMO shareholders was not met. IMMOFINANZ decided not to amend the takeover offer which, as a result, was cancelled.

Annual general meeting and distribution policy

The 28th annual general meeting, which was originally scheduled for 18 June 2021, was postponed in connection with the voluntary takeover offer by IMMOFINANZ to S IMMO shareholders that was announced on 19 May. This also resulted in the postponement of resolutions on the use of profit for 2020 and on a dividend.

On 13 July, IMMOFINANZ set 19 October 2021 as the date for the 28th annual general meeting. It will be held as a virtual annual general meeting in accordance with Austrian law ("COVID-19-Verordnung"). For health protection reasons, shareholders and their representatives (with the exception of specially appointed voting representatives) will therefore not be physically present. In view of the strong earnings and financial situation and successful crisis management, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will make a recommendation to the annual general meeting for the 2020 financial year to increase the dividend from EUR 0.55 per share to EUR 0.75 per share. The documents for the annual general meeting will be published on schedule under https://immofinanz.com/en/investor-relations/general-meeting.

The record date for participation in the annual general meeting is 9 October 2021, and the dividend will be paid on 25 October 2021.

Change on the Executive Board

IMMOFINANZ was informed on 29 June that the RPR Private Foundation attributable to CEO Ronny Pecik had sold its entire investment in RPPK Immo GmbH, which held 13 million IMMOFINANZ shares and five certificates from the mandatory convertible bond issued by IMMOFINANZ AG, to EUROVEA Services, s.r.o. The sole shareholder of EUROVEA Services, s.r.o. is Peter Korbačka. Ronny Pecik subsequently resigned from the IMMOFINANZ Executive Board as of 29 June 2021.

The members of the Executive Board as of 30 June 2021 were therefore Dietmar Reindl (COO) and Stefan Schönauer (CFO).

Shareholder structure

IMMOFINANZ shares are widely held, primarily by private investors in Austria and by long-term institutional investors from Europe and the USA. Free float (based on the definition issued by the Vienna Stock Exchange for the Prime Market segment) equalled roughly 60% as of 30 June 2021.

The latest survey was carried out in July 2021 and shows the following picture: 27.2% of all IMMOFINANZ shares are held by private investors in Austria. Institutional investors hold 23.0% of the free float shares, whereby most come from the USA (7.1%), Austria (5.8%) and the UK (2.0%). Fixed shareholdings by investors represent 33.0%, while the treasury shares held by IMMOFINANZ (5.7%) are also attributed to fixed shareholdings based on the free float definition of the Vienna Stock Exchange. The remaining 7.9% are unidentified investors or shares held by foreign private investors. A 3.2% component is attributable to trading accounts.

Group Interim Management Report

Economic Overview and Property Markets

The global economy continued to pick up speed during the first half of 2021 due to worldwide vaccination campaigns and related opening steps, and despite the negative effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The economies in IMMOFINANZ's core countries registered strong growth as a result of catch-up effects, but the upturn was slowed by distortions in the international supply chains and rapidly increasing raw material prices. On the financial markets, the ECB warned against the premature termination of national aid packages. Supportive monetary policies are expected to ensure a stable recovery in spite of the higher inflation rates, and the European Union has announced its intention to provide additional funds for the transformation to a more climate-friendly economy.

The pandemic-related lockdowns were responsible for negative GDP growth of -0.3% in the eurozone and a decline of 0.1% in the EU for the first quarter of 2021, but the second quarter brought growth of 2.0% in the eurozone and 1.9% in the EU. In comparison with the second quarter of 2020, which was hard hit by the pandemic, the growth rate equalled 13.7% in the eurozone and 13.2% for the entire EU.

Paolo Gentiloni, the EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs, announced the largest upward correction for the past ten years in the 2021 summer forecast. According to the European Commission, the economy will recover faster than indicated in the spring forecast. GDP growth in the eurozone is projected to reach 4.8% in 2021 and 4.5% in 2022, whereby this positive development is based on several factors: Actual events exceeded expectations in the first quarter of 2021, while the progress made in fighting COVID-19 has revived the service sector. Other supporting factors include private consumption and corporate investments as well as a contribution of roughly 1.2% from the EU's development and resilience plans. However, the Commission notes that this forecast is still connected with substantial uncertainty and gives high priority to the fight against COVID-19 and inflationary risks.

The unemployment rate in the EU equalled 7.1% at the end of the second quarter. This represents a slight decline compared with the 7.3% recorded in May 2021 and June 2020. In the eurozone, the unemployment rate reflected the same slightly declining trend and equalled 7.7%. The strong economic recovery is expected to support a further reduction in unemployment over the coming months.

Consumer price inflation in the eurozone increased substantially from 0.3% in June 2020 to 1.9% at the end of the second quarter in 2021. In the EU, the comparable rates are 0.2% in the previous year versus 2.2% at the end of June 2021. The dynamic rise in energy costs proved to be the major inflation driver. The highest inflation rates in IMMOFINANZ's core markets were recorded in Hungary (5.3%), Poland (4.1%) and Romania (3.5%), while the lowest rates were recorded in Slovenia (1.7%), Germany (2.1%) and Croatia (2.2%). In Austria, the inflation rate equalled 2.8% in June.

Transaction and rental markets

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are still visible on the transaction market: Commercial property transactions totalled EUR 124.1 billion in the first half of 2021, for a year-on-year decline of 11.0%. However, an increase in the transaction volume was noted in the second quarter. The overall negative trend is reflected in a decline of 18.2% in the moving average transaction volume from EUR 332.3 billion in the previous year to EUR 271.7 billion. Declines were strongest in the hotel asset class (-49.0%), whereas the transaction volume for logistics and industrial properties rose by 37.0%. Experts expect a normalisation of volumes in the second half-year as well as stable development on the transaction markets.

The transaction volume on the commercial property market in Germany totalled EUR 23.5 billion in the first half of 2021. Results for the second quarter show an increase of roughly 50.0% in the volume over the first quarter to EUR 14.1 billion. Over the past 12 months, the transaction volume amounted to EUR 70.0 billion and was 26.0% lower than the previous year. The prime yields for office properties in Düsseldorf equalled 2.9%, and the lowest yields among the top seven cities are currently recorded in Munich and Berlin at approximately 2.6%.

In Austria, commercial property sales totalled EUR 1.6 billion in the first half of 2021. The transaction volume is now expected to reach EUR 4.0 billion for the full year, which would reflect the long-term average. Prime yields on the Vienna office market are stable at 3.3% and equal 5.0% for retail parks.

The transaction markets in the CEE countries generally followed a downward trend. Growth in the first halfyear was only recorded in Slovakia with an increase of 8.8% to approximately EUR 470 million. The largest decline was reported by the Czech Republic with -58% to EUR 800.4 million and resulted primarily from the very strong first quarter in 2020 with a transaction volume of EUR 1.7 billion. This negative trend was followed by Poland with -31%, Romania with -21% and Hungary with -18.7%. Office properties remain very popular with investors, while logistics and industrial properties are becoming more attractive based on their reputation as safe havens.

Rents in the individual markets still show a stable and in part slightly rising trend. Due to the speed of the economic recovery, no lasting negative developments have been identified to date.

IMMOFINANZ's core markets tend to have rising vacancy rates, but vacancies on the Vienna office market have declined to 4.5%. Warsaw, Bucharest and Bratislava currently have the highest vacancy rates at roughly 12.0%.

Portfolio Report

COVID-19 update

The previous year was only influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in mid-March, but its impact covered the entire first half of 2021. The spread of new COVID-19 mutations combined with the slow progress of vaccinations and problems with vaccine deliveries at the beginning of the year led to renewed or extended containment measures by many governments, which included temporary shutdowns in the retail trade and further lockdowns. Roughly 48% of the rented IMMOFINANZ retail space was closed on a temporary basis at the end of March 2021, but the situation improved rapidly during the second quarter with the progress of the EU-wide vaccination campaigns and there are currently no retail shutdowns due to the pandemic.

Similar to developments during the earlier waves, visitor frequency in the retail parks recovered very quickly after the end of the lockdowns. The STOP SHOP retail parks benefit from direct access to the individual stores from the parking areas and a focus on everyday products especially for price-conscious shoppers. Statistics also showed that people shopped less frequently but spent more per visit as a result of the pandemic, a development that is reflected in visitor frequency and turnover. Footfall in the STOP SHOPs was 7.0% lower yearon-year from January to June 2021, including the COVID-19-related shutdown days, whereby entertainment and fitness were hardest hit. However, retail sales rose by 11% year-on-year during this same period.

The easing of restrictions in the second quarter had a very positive effect on the VIVO! shopping centers. Visitor frequency was 18.0% higher than the previous year from January to June 2021, including the COVID-19-related shutdown days, and retail turnover rose by 31%. This increase is attributable, above all, to the VIVO! shopping centers in Romania which were negatively affected by extensive shutdowns in the first half of 2020.

Roughly 95% of the contract rents (after the deduction of rent reductions and impairment losses) invoiced during the first half of 2021 for space in the office and retail properties had been paid by the end of July 2021 (retail: 92%, office: 98%). This high percentage speaks for IMMOFINANZ's intensive and professional communications with tenants and their good financial standing as well as the appropriateness of the temporary support agreements. The rental reductions granted during this period amounted to 7.7% of the contractual rents (retail: 11.6%, office: 4.3%).

Property portfolio

The IMMOFINANZ portfolio covered 209 properties as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 209) with a combined value of EUR 5,094.9 million (31 December 2020: EUR 4,978.9 million). These properties are located, above all, in the core markets of Austria, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and the Adriatic region. Standing investments represent the largest component at EUR 4,565.0 million, or 89.6% of the carrying amount, and 2.0 million sqm which generate steady rental income. The development projects total EUR 382.2 million, or 7.5%, of the carrying amount. Pipeline projects are responsible for EUR 147.8 million, or 2.9%, of the carrying amount and include future planned development projects, undeveloped land, real estate inventories and properties that are intended for sale.

The portfolio is focused on three clearly defined brands with a high degree of standardisation: myhive stands for flexible, international office solutions, STOP SHOP for retail parks and VIVO! for shopping centers. Properties in these three brands were responsible for 76.3% of the carrying amount of the standing investment portfolio and 81.7% of rental income (Q2 2021) at the end of June 2021. A further 10.8% of the carrying amount is attributable to office buildings which are rented to single tenants. The largest of these properties are the City Tower in Vienna, which is leased to the Austrian government, and the FLOAT in Düsseldorf.

Properties that are held for sale and fall under IFRS 5 are, as in the past, not included in the portfolio report (see section 4.5 in the consolidated interim financial statements).

A geographical analysis shows 50.5% of the property portfolio in Austria, Germany and Poland, i.e. in so-called "developed markets" as defined by FTSE EPRA/NAREIT.

The application of IFRS 16 since the first quarter of 2019 leads to differences between the amounts presented in the portfolio report and on the balance sheet. Expert appraisals or internal valuation form the basis for the property values in the portfolio report. The reported property values on the balance sheet also include capitalised rights of use for building rights.

In line with the strategic expansion of business activities in Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia, IMMOFINANZ has decided to combine these three countries into a new "Adriatic" segment which is reported separately beginning with the first quarter of 2021. These three countries were previously included under the "Other countries" segment.

Property acquisitions

IMMOFINANZ continued the strategic expansion of its flexible international myhive office brand during the first half of 2021, as announced, and acquired the Bucharest Financial Plaza office building from the Erste Group subsidiary Banca Comercială Română (BCR) on 23 March. This building, which is located in the center of Bucharest, will be modernised and converted into a high-quality, ESG-compliant myhive building with "Gold" sustainability certification as a minimum. The gross rental space is expected to total 27,700 sqm after the refurbishment. The transaction costs amounted to roughly EUR 36.0 million. The acquisition of four Serbian retail parks, which was announced in 2020, also closed during the first quarter. This real estate package in Serbia includes locations in the cities of Leskovac, Šabac, Sombor and Zaječar with combined rentable space of roughly 28,200 sqm.

In July, i.e. after the end of the reporting period, IMMOFINANZ acquired a fully rented retail park in the north Italian city of San Fior with roughly 27,000 sqm of rentable space. It will operate as the STOP SHOP San Fior in the future. The seller was the international investment bank Barings, and the sale price amounted to approximately EUR 35.0 million. The transaction closed on 2 July, and the retail park will be included in the Adriatic segment. This acquisition continues the expansion of IMMOFINANZ's successful and crisis-resistant STOP SHOP retail park brand and, with Italy, opens a new market in Western Europe.

Investments

Investments in the real estate portfolio totalled EUR 107.2 million in the first half of 2021 (Q1-2 2020: EUR 57.5 million).

Property sales

In spite of the still challenging market environment, properties totalling EUR 148.6 million including IFRS 5, or EUR 38.1 million excluding IFRS 5, (excl. proceeds from the sale of real estate inventories) were sold during the first half of 2021. These transactions included, among others, the sale of four office properties in Warsaw to the Indotek Group as well as three smaller office properties and land in Budapest.

Selected details on the carrying amount of IMMOFINANZ's property portfolio as of 30 June 2021 are provided in the following table:

Standing investments

The 157 standing investments had a combined carrying amount of EUR 4,565.0 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 153 standing investments with a carrying amount of EUR 4,428.5 million). Of this total, 62.0% are attributable to office properties and 37.9% to retail properties. The focal point of the standing investments based on the carrying amount are the markets in Poland (EUR 974.6 million), Austria (EUR 798.0 million) and Romania (EUR 610.6 million). The rentable space in this portfolio totalled 1,985,196 sqm (31 December 2020: 1,953,460 sqm). The standing investment portfolio has a gross return of 5.9% based on IFRS rental income and a return of 6.2% based on invoiced rents. The difference is explained by the accrual of rental incentives – e.g. the standard market practice of granting rent-free periods or allowances for fit-out costs. These incentives must be accrued on a straight-line basis over the contract term in accordance with IFRS (basis for gross return under IFRS) but are not included in the invoiced rent.

The occupancy rate equalled 94.1% (30 June 2020: 95.9%; 31 December 2020: 96.0%). The decline below the level at year-end 2020 resulted primarily from an agreement with a single tenant in Germany who was hard hit by the pandemic to reduce the amount of rented space beginning in 2021. These vacant areas are now marketed as flexible myhive solutions. According to the EPRA's calculation formula, the vacancy rate equals 6.1% (30 June 2020: 4.0%; 31 December 2020: 4.0%). The EPRA vacancy rate is based on the ratio of the estimated market rent for the vacant space in the standing investments to the total estimated market rent for the standing investment portfolio (additional information on the EPRA financial indicators can be found beginning on page 34). Take-up increased substantially despite the challenging market conditions and, at roughly 156,700 sqm in the first half of 2021, was nearly two-thirds higher than the comparable prior-year value (excluding standing investments in the Other asset class; Q1–2 2020: 90,900 sqm). This increase is based, above all, on the extension of existing rental contracts in the retail business in return for support provided by IMMOFINANZ and on a recent large-scale office rental in Bucharest. The total take-up includes 34,900 sqm of new rentals and 121,800 sqm of contract extensions (Q1–2 2020: 28,100 sqm and 62,800 sqm, respectively). The average unexpired lease term (WAULT ) weighted by rental income equalled 4.1 years as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 4.2 years).

Like-for-like rental income

A like-for-like analysis (i.e. acquisitions, completions and sales are deducted to facilitate comparison with Q2 2020) shows a constant level of rental income at EUR 63.5 million (+0.2%). An analysis over the first half of 2021 shows a slight decline of EUR 1.0 million, or 0.8%, to EUR 126.3 million as a result of the pandemic and the ongoing modernisation of a VIVO! shopping center in Romania.

Office standing investments

The carrying amount of the 46 office standing investments totalled EUR 2,828.8 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 47 standing investments with a carrying amount of EUR 2,749.9 million). These assets represented 62.0% of the standing investment portfolio and roughly 50% of the rental income from standing investments in the second quarter of 2021. A regional analysis shows the focal points of the IMMOFINANZ office properties in the core markets of Poland (EUR 694.9 million), Austria (EUR 654.5 million) and Germany (EUR 541.3 million).

The rentable space in the office standing investments equalled 937,919 sqm as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 940,303 sqm). Based on annualised rents (Q2 2021: EUR 33.4 million), the office portfolio generated a gross return of 4.7% and a return of 5.1% based on invoiced rents. The myhive office properties represented a carrying amount of EUR 1,763.5 million and generated a gross return of 4.9%, respectively a return of 5.3% based on invoiced rents.

The occupancy rate in the office portfolio equalled 90.3% at the end of June 2021 (30 June 2020: 94.2%; 31 December 2020: 93.7%), whereby the decline since the beginning of the year is primarily attributable to the reduction of space for a single tenant in Germany who was hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the EPRA's calculation formula, the vacancy rate equalled 9.0% as of 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: 5.1%; 31 December 2020: 5.5%). Despite the challenging market environment, take-up in the office business remained constant at 57,700 sqm (Q1–2 2020: 57,200 sqm). Nearly 19,400 sqm represented new rentals, including a 25-year lease for roughly 11,000 sqm with the Provita Group, a leading medical center provider in Romania. Contract extensions amounted to 38,300 sqm (Q1–2 2020: 18,700 sqm of new rentals and 38,500 sqm of contract extensions).

The office portfolio has a balanced tenant structure. The ten largest tenants are responsible for 22.2% of the space in the office standing investments, and no single tenant has rented more than 3.2% of the total space in these properties. The WAULT equalled 4.3 years as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 4.4 years).

The COVID-19 pandemic – with the accompanying shift to home office work in many companies – has accelerated the current digitalisation trend in the office sector. Even under the assumption that home office will play a slightly less important role in the future and the return to in-office has started, the pandemic has increased tenants' wish for greater flexibility. IMMOFINANZ is well positioned with its flexible myhive-office concept and offers tenants properties at good locations in a high-quality office and community environment with excellent service, infrastructure and a friendly atmosphere. Tenants only pay for the space they need and can make short-term adjustments where necessary.

Retail standing investments

The carrying amount of the 110 standing investments in the retail sector totalled EUR 1,728.7 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 105 standing investments with a carrying amount of EUR 1,671.1 million). These properties represented 37.9% of the standing investment portfolio and generated roughly 50% of the rental income from standing investments in the second quarter of 2021. The largest regional markets were the Adriatic (Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia) with EUR 327.7 million, Romania with EUR 325.4 million and Poland with EUR 279.7 million. The STOP SHOP retail parks had a carrying amount of EUR 1,060.7 million and a gross return of 7.9%, respectively 8.0% based on invoiced rents. The VIVO! shopping centers had a carrying amount of EUR 657.2 million; they generated a gross return of 7.7% and an invoiced rental return of 8.1%.

Based on annualised rents (Q2 2021: EUR 33.9 million), the retail portfolio had a gross return of 7.8%, respectively 8.1% based on invoiced rents. The rentable space in these properties totalled 1,047,277 sqm (31 December 2020: 1,013,157 sqm). The occupancy rate equalled 97.5% as of 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: 97.8%; 31 December 2020: 98.1%); the STOP SHOP retail parks and VIVO! shopping centers had an occupancy rate of 98.1% and 96.2% respectively. Take-up in the retail properties amounted to roughly 99,000 sqm in the first half of 2021 (Q1–2 2020: 33,700 m), which represents nearly three-times the prioryear level. Approximately 15,500 sqm were attributable to new rentals and 83,500 sqm to contract extensions (Q1–2 2020: 9,400 sqm and 24,300 sqm, respectively). The extensions were concluded, among others, in return for temporary support provided by IMMOFINANZ during the lockdown phases.

IMMOFINANZ relies on a balanced tenant mix to create an optimal environment for retailers and their customers. The IMMOFINANZ retail properties have solid international and local anchor tenants, but no single retailer has rented more than 4.1% of the total space in these properties. The WAULT rose to 4.5 years as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 3.9 years).

The government-ordered temporary shutdowns to contain the COVID-19 pandemic affected nearly all branches. However, discounters fared substantially better due to consumers' growing price consciousness. IMMOFINANZ is well positioned with its cost-efficient STOP SHOP and VIVO! retail brands and benefits from its focus on everyday goods and tenants from the discount segment.

Development projects

The development projects had a carrying amount of EUR 382.2 million as of 30 June 2021, which represents 7.5% of the total property portfolio (31 December 2020: EUR 358.6 million and 7.2%). This amount includes EUR 344.1 million of active development projects and EUR 38.1 million of projects in the preparation or concept phase, for which outstanding construction costs are not yet available. Examples are the STOP STOP projects in Croatia, Poland and Hungary. The expected fair value of the active projects on completion amounts to EUR 519.4 million. The core markets of Germany and Romania represent the focus of these activities based on an expected fair value after completion of EUR 168.1 million, respectively EUR 148.8 million.

Current focus of development activities

Germany

The country's first office building in the myhive brand, the myhive Medienhafen, which also includes the flexible myhive products, is currently under construction in the Düsseldorf Medienhafen. This high-rise is designed as a multi-tenant building and will have approximately 21,000 sqm of rentable space on 16 floors. Completion is scheduled for the third quarter of 2021.

Austria

The development projects in Vienna involve the modernisation of two existing office buildings with roughly 28,000 sqm of space in total at the myhive am Wienerberg location.

Hungary

An existing office building in Budapest is also undergoing modernisation. Completion is scheduled for the second half of 2021.

Romania

At the IRIDE Business Park in Bucharest, the IRIDE 18 and 19 office buildings were undergoing modernisation and integration in the myhive concept. The Provita Group, a leading medical center provider in Romania, signed a long-term lease for the entire space in the myhive IRIDE 18 in April, which it plans to open as a multidisciplinary hospital. The facility will have space for 110 beds and seven operating rooms and is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2022 after the necessary adaptations are completed.

The Bucharest Financial Plaza in the center of Bucharest, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2021, will be converted into a high-quality, sustainable office property in the flexible myhive premium brand and will be integrated in the portfolio as the myhive Victoriei. Modernisation is scheduled to start in the second half of 2022 after the planning and approval phase, and completion is scheduled for 2024.

Croatia

The development of a new retail park under the STOP SHOP brand is planned for the Croatian city of Kaštela. It will have 6,800 sqm of rentable space and 220 parking spaces. Construction started in mid-August, and completion is planned for spring 2022.

Pipeline projects

Pipeline projects include planned development projects, undeveloped land and/or temporarily suspended projects. These projects had a carrying amount of EUR 147.8 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 191.8 million). Romania represents the focal point at EUR 93.9 million. The scope of the pipeline projects – above all land reserves in Romania – will be further reduced through sales in line with IMMOFINANZ's strategy.

Assets held for sale

The assets held for sale totalled EUR 72.5 million as of 30 June 2021 (including capitalised rights of use for building rights) and are not included in this portfolio report (31 December 2020: EUR 168.4 million). Purchase contracts have been signed for all these properties. Additional details are provided in section 4.5 of the consolidated interim financial statements.

Property Valuation

IMMOFINANZ prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and arranges for the regular valuation of its properties by independent experts. These external appraisals are carried out each year as of 30 June and 31 December. The valuation of the property portfolio also follows the EPRA's Best Practices Policy Recommendations for the application of the fair value method as defined in IFRS.

The valuation includes property-related factors like the occupancy rate, rental income and the length of the rental contracts as well as the age and quality of the buildings. External factors are also taken into account, e.g. the development of the regional and general market environments, the economy and the financing climate. As of 30 June 2021, CBRE was responsible for appraising nearly the entire IMMOFINANZ portfolio (EUR 5 billion). Internal appraisals covered 0.5%.

Development of property valuation in the first half of 2021

Property valuation turned clearly positive with EUR 78.1 million in the first half of 2021 and represents a substantial improvement over the crisis-related negative results recorded in the first half of the previous year (Q1–2 2020: EUR -159.2 million).

Revaluation results from the standing investments totalled EUR 52.5 million, in contrast to the pandemicrelated write-downs recorded in the first half of 2020 (Q1–2 2020: EUR -143.4 million). The revaluations recognised in the first half of 2021 were related, above all, to office properties in Austria and Germany and reflect the ongoing dynamic market environment. The write-down in Poland was based chiefly on a decline in the occupancy rate and a temporary reduction in rental income in a shopping center.

Development of property valuation like-for-like

A like-for-like analysis – i.e. after an adjustment for new acquisitions, completions and sales to improve comparability – shows a valuation effect of EUR 41.5 million in the first half of 2021 (Q1–2 2020: EUR -124.6 million).

Financing

Financial liabilities totalled EUR 3.1 billion as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 3.2 billion). Cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents held for sale, amounted to EUR 966.9 million (31 December 2020: EUR 1,051.4 million), and net debt, i.e. debt after the deduction of cash and cash equivalents held by the Group, equalled EUR 2.2 billion (31 December 2020: EUR 2.1 billion).

The unsecured, revolving credit line of EUR 100.0 million concluded in March 2020 was not in use as of the balance sheet date and is therefore available in full. It was extended prematurely during the reporting period to 30 June 2023. This credit line can be used at the company's discretion and gives IMMOFINANZ added financial flexibility.

Robust balance sheet structure

IMMOFINANZ has a robust balance sheet structure with an equity ratio of 47.4% (31 December 2020: 45.1%) and a net loan-to-value ratio (net LTV) of 38.1% (31 December 2020: 37.8%).

Unencumbered property

In addition to properties which carry external financing and are encumbered through standard market collateral (e.g. mortgages, pledge of company shares), EUR 1,486.4 million, or 28.8% of the total property carrying amount, were not externally financed and therefore unencumbered as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 1,482.8 million or 28.9%). Including the S IMMO shares (valued at the EPRA NAV), which are not encumbered by any financing, this value increases to EUR 2,022.8 million or 35.6%.

The remaining balance of the financial liabilities held by IMMOFINANZ totalled EUR 3,137.2 million as of 30 June 2021.

Derivatives

IMMOFINANZ uses derivatives to hedge against interest rate increases. The volume of financial liabilities hedged through interest rate derivatives amounted EUR 1,429.8 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 1,459.6 million). In total, a constant 88.6% of financial liabilities were hedged against interest rate risk (31 December 2020: 88.6%), 45.4% via interest rate derivatives and a further 43.2% represent financial liabilities with fixed interest rates.

Bonds

The outstanding nominal value of the bonds totalled EUR 1,397.3 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 1,397.3 million). It is attributable to the convertible bond issued in January 2017 with a term ending in 2024 and a put option for the investors at the nominal amount in 2022 (current conversion price: EUR 21.3772), the subordinated mandatory convertible bond issued in July 2020 with a term ending in 2023 (current conversion price: EUR 17.1472) and the two benchmark corporate bonds which were issued in January 2019 and October 2020.

3 The mandatory convertible bond represents a hybrid financial instrument which must be separated into equity and debt components on initial recognition. The

regular interest payments are classified as a financial liability, while the mandatory conversion is considered an equity component.

In the first quarter of 2019, IMMOFINANZ received a long-term issuer rating of BBB- with stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings. This rating and outlook were confirmed during the annual review process in February 2021. IMMOFINANZ's announcement in March 2021 of its intention to launch a voluntary public takeover offer to the shareholders of S IMMO AG led to a revision of the S&P outlook from stable to negative. At the S IMMO general meeting in June 2021, the majority required to revoke the maximum voting right was not reached. Consequently, a key condition for IMMOFINANZ's takeover offer to S IMMO shareholders was not met. IMMOFINANZ decided not to amend its takeover offer, which, as a result was cancelled, and S&P has reinstated its stable outlook for the issuer rating.

In connection with the issue of the corporate bond 2019–2023 and the corporate bond 2020–2027, IMMOFINANZ has committed to comply with the following standard financial covenants. These covenants are calculated on the basis of the consolidated IFRS financial statements:

Financial covenant Threshold in % Value as of
30 06 2021 in %
Net Debt to Value Ratio1 Max. 60.0 39.4
Secured Net Debt to Value Ratio1 Max. 45.0 16.9
Interest Coverage Ratio Min. 150.0 418.4

1 The values are based on the latest calculation as per the bond terms on or before 30 June 2021.

Business Development

IMMOFINANZ recorded a significant improvement in the results of operations and FFO 1 in the first half of 2021 even though the markets and business development were still influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Net profit turned strongly positive and, at EUR 228.6 million, exceeded the comparable pre-crisis half-year in 2019.

Rental income was stable at EUR 145.0 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR 146.2 million), and the results of asset management rose by 3.9% to EUR 106.8 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR 102.8 million). This increase resulted, above all, from a reduction in property expenses, which fell by 18.8% to EUR -31.6 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -38.9 million). These expenses still exceed the pre-crisis level due to the effects of the pandemic – but the write-off of rents receivable included in this position, which represent support by IMMOFINANZ for its tenants during the lockdown periods, were substantially lower than the previous year and totalled EUR -9.4 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -18.2 million).

The results of property sales amounted to EUR -3.7 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -0.7 million) and include a negative, non-cash deconsolidation effect of EUR -8.3 million from the reclassification of currency translation differences. This negative effect on the income statement is neutralised on the statement of comprehensive income and therefore has no effect on IMMOFINANZ's equity. Property sales totalling EUR 148.6 million were concluded during the first half-year and were primarily related to older office properties in Warsaw and Budapest.

The results of property development turned strongly positive at EUR 22.0 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -16.7 million), chiefly due to positive valuation effects from an office project in Düsseldorf.

Other operating expenses improved by 13.4% to EUR -23.0 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -26.5 million), above all due to the absence of non-recurring effects from the previous year. The results of operations therefore rose by a solid 73.0% to EUR 103.3 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR 59.7 million).

Revaluation and operating profit

Results from the revaluation of standing investments equalled EUR 52.5 million, compared with crisis-related write-downs in the previous year to reflect the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (Q1–2 2020: EUR -143.4 million). The revaluations are related chiefly to office properties in Austria and Germany and reflect the ongoing dynamic market environment.

Operating profit (EBIT) therefore improved significantly to EUR 155.9 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -83.6 million).

Financial results and taxes

Financing costs totalled EUR -42.2 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -37.7 million) and reflect the year-on-year increase of roughly 11.1% in the financing volume. Average financing costs, including hedging, equalled 1.91% per year (31 December 2020: 1.99%). The other financial results of EUR 8.5 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -12.4 million) resulted primarily from the valuation of interest rate derivatives (Q1–2 2021: EUR 11.1 million) following an increase in long-term interest rates.

The share of results from equity-accounted investments increased to EUR 124.1 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR 6.4 million). Of this total, EUR 121.8 million are attributable to S IMMO (revaluation of EUR 85.3 million to the investment due to the increase in the share price and a proportional earnings share of EUR 36.5 million). Financial results totalled EUR 91.6 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -42.4 million).

Net profit

Earnings before tax improved significantly to EUR 247.4 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -126.0 million). After the deduction of EUR -18.8 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR 5.7 million) in income taxes, net profit amounted to EUR 228.6 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -120.4 million). That represents earnings per share of EUR 1.85 (basic), respectively EUR 1.69 (diluted) (Q1–2 2020: EUR -1.19).

Funds from operations (FFO)

FFO 1 from the standing investment business (before tax and including accrued interest on the bonds) rose by 7.7% to EUR 64.4 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR 59.8 million). This increase is attributable, above all, to the improvement in the results of asset management. FFO 1 per share equalled EUR 0.52, compared with EUR 0.59 in the first half of 2020 based on a higher number of shares (see the following table for the number of shares used in the calculation).

IMMOFINANZ has a robust balance sheet structure with an equity ratio of 47.4% (31 December 2020: 45.1%). The net loan to value equalled 38.1%.

The property portfolio has a value of EUR 5.2 billion and represents 74.7% of total assets. These properties are reported on the balance sheet under the following positions: investment property, property under construction, real estate inventories and assets held for sale. Assets held for sale include properties as well as other assets which will be transferred to the buyer in the event of a sale.

The equity-accounted investments of EUR 501.0 million include EUR 497.5 million attributable to S IMMO AG. Based on the roughly 19.5 million shares held by IMMOFINANZ, the book value of the S IMMO share equals EUR 25.51 (31 December 2020: EUR 18.65). The S IMMO investment was written up by EUR 85.3 million in the first half of 2021 to reflect a substantial improvement in the share price.

Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 966.9 million. The decline since 31 December 2020 was based, among others, on the annual coupon payment in January for the corporate bond 2019–2023, various acquisitions for the STOP SHOP retail park portfolio in the Adriatic segment and the acquisition of an office property in Bucharest.

EPRA Financial Indicators

EPRA net asset value

The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) recommends publishing a revised version of the net asset value indicators (NAV indicators) beginning with the financial statements for 2020 to better reflect current market trends and company developments. The two previously published indicators – net asset value (NAV) and triple net asset value (NNNAV) – will be replaced by three new indicators: net reinstatement value (NRV), net tangible assets (NTA) and net disposal value (NDV).

These indicators are calculated in accordance with the EPRA Best Practices Recommendations (EPRA BPR), whereby adjustments are made beginning with IFRS equity to provide stakeholders with the most transparent information on the market value of the real estate company's assets and liabilities under various scenarios.

In order to present the transition as clearly as possible, IMMOFINANZ calculated a transition for 30 June 2021 and for 31 December 2020 as the comparative period from the previous EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV to the three new NAV indicators based on the EPRA BPR Guidelines issued in October 2019. The EPRA NTA is the most relevant indicator for IMMOFINANZ's business activities and therefore serves as the new primary indicator for net asset value.

1 The comparative period data were adjusted.

The calculation of the EPRA NAV indicators does not include any potential shares which would result from the conversion of the convertible bond 2017–2024 because the bond was not "in the money" as of 30 June 2021. The diluting effect of the hybrid financial instruments (convertible bonds) resulted from the equity correction for the convertible bond 2017–2024. The equity component declines to zero over the term of these financial instruments based on the effective interest rate. The mandatory convertible bond 2020–2023 issued in July 2020 must be converted into IMMOFINANZ shares and is therefore classified as an equity instrument under IFRS, i.e. this bond is included in full in equity and in the number of shares.

The EPRA NTA per share rose by 7.8% to EUR 30.00 as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 27.82). This increase is primarily attributable to the positive development of earnings and revaluation results (see the following reconciliation).

The book value per share equalled EUR 27.18 as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 25.20).

EPRA vacancy rate by asset class and brand

The EPRA vacancy rate equalled 6.1% as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 4.0%) and rose to 9.0% in the office business. This increase over year-end 2020 resulted primarily from an agreement with a large tenant in Germany who was severely affected by the pandemic to reduce the amount of rented space beginning in 2021. These vacant areas are now marketed as flexible myhive solutions. The retail portfolio was nearly fully rented with a vacancy rate of only 2.6%, whereby the STOP SHOP retail parks had the lowest vacancy rate as of 30 June 2021 at 1.7%.

The EPRA cost ratio improved to 23.5% (Q1–2 2020: 28.3%) including direct vacancy costs and to 20.8% (Q1–2 2020: 25.8%) excluding direct vacancy costs. This reduction resulted, above all, from the decline in the expenses from investment property. The write-off of rents receivable from asset management included in this position, which represent support by IMMOFINANZ for its tenants during the lockdown periods, were substantially lower than the previous year and totalled EUR -9.4 million (Q1–2 2020: EUR -18.2 million).

1 The comparative period data were adjusted.

Capital expenditure totalled EUR 104.6 million in the first half of 2021 and was concentrated on properties solely owned by IMMOFINANZ (Q1–2 2020: EUR 57.0 million). Major projects included the development of the myhive Medienhafen Alto office building in Düsseldorf, the modernisation of existing office properties in Romania and Vienna as well as the acquisition of the Bucharest Financial Plaza in the first quarter of 2021.

The acquisition of four retail parks in Serbia, which was announced in 2020, also closed during the first half of 2021. This real estate package in Serbia includes locations in Leskovac, Šabac, Sombor and Zaječar. In addition, the purchase of land in Croatia was also finalised during the first half of 2021.

Capital expenditure in investment properties totalled EUR 16.4 million and was related primarily to the myhive Medienhafen Largo (Düsseldorf, formerly the trivago Campus), myhive Ungargasse (Vienna) and myhive Warsaw Spire (Warsaw). Capital expenditure in investment properties consisted almost entirely of improvements to existing rental space as well as rental incentives. The investments in additional rental space are immaterial and, in accordance with EPRA requirements, are reported under "thereof no incremental lettable space".

Risk Report

As an international real estate investor, property owner and project developer, IMMOFINANZ is exposed to a variety of general and branch-specific risks in its business operations. An integrated risk management process provides the Group with a sound basis for the timely identification of potential risks and the assessment of the potential consequences.

Based on the hedging and management instruments currently in use, no material risks can be identified at the present time that could endanger the company's standing as a going concern. The overall risk situation for the first half of 2021 was classified as elevated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects.

Risks in the first half of 2021

Market and property-specific risks

The measures implemented to contain the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have a significant impact on life during the first half of 2021: Retail space was affected by partial shutdowns, and the daily office routine was heavily influenced by home office rules. Increasing vaccination rates led to the first cautious opening steps and resulting economic recovery during the second quarter. The 0.3% GDP decline recorded by the eurozone in the first quarter gave way to growth of 2.0% in the second quarter. It reflected the healthy improvement in the global economy and, consequently, supports a positive outlook for economic developments over the coming months. This assessment also applies to IMMOFINANZ's core countries. However, uncertainty has been fuelled by the recent increase in COVID-19 infections as well as a possible continuation of the current distortions in international supply chains.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a variety of effects on the real estate sector, depending on the asset class. In the retail sector, the reopening of the VIVO! shopping centers led to a sound improvement in revenues. The STOP SHOPs proved to be crisis-resistant and benefited from their direct access to the individual shops from the parking areas and their focus on everyday products. The progress of vaccination campaigns leads to expectations of a further normalisation in the retail trade. The office market reacts to crises with a delay, and there are currently signs of a decline in demand. In this sector, IMMOFINANZ benefits from a very high occupancy level, long-term rentals and a flexible space offering under its myhive brand. The normalisation of economic activity should lead to an increase in the demand for space over the medium term.

The development projects currently in progress by IMMOFINANZ (property under construction) have a carrying amount of EUR 344.1 million (31 December 2020: EUR 300.8 million). The outstanding construction costs for these development projects totalled EUR 150.1 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 62.2 million). The pipeline projects had a carrying amount of EUR 147.8 million as of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 191.8 million).

Business and other risks

IMMOFINANZ is also exposed to other risks in connection with its business activities. These legal and tax risks, organisational risks, and risks associated with the environment and social governance remain generally unchanged in comparison with the 2020 financial year

Significant events which occurred after the end of the reporting period are discussed in section 8 of the consolidated interim financial statements.

The development of the investment properties during the first half of 2021 is as follows:

All amounts in TEUR Q1–2 2021
Beginning balance 4,680,351
Deconsolidations (see 2.2) -35,000

Disposals -20,061
Revaluation 56,310
Reclassifications 44,187
Reclassification to assets held for sale -5,900
Ending balance 4,774,781

The additions consist chiefly of investments in retail properties in Serbia and Croatia as well as office properties in Austria and Germany, while the disposals primarily involve the sale of an office property in Austria and land in Turkey. The reclassifications consist mainly of transfers from property under construction to investment property in Austria.

Investment property includes IFRS 16 rights of use totalling EUR 62.7 million (2020: EUR 60.7 million). As of 30 June 2021, no IFRS 16 rights of use in investment property were reported as assets held for sale (2020: EUR 2.6 million).

4.2 Property under construction

The development of property under construction is shown in the following table:

All amounts in TEUR Q1–2 2021

Currency translation adjustments 119
Additions 50,037
Revaluation 23,121
Reclassifications -49,733
Ending balance 382,184

The additions are related primarily to myhive development projects in Germany and Romania (the Medienhafen in Düsseldorf and the Victoriei in Bucharest) and to investments in Vienna and Budapest.

The reclassifications involve, above all, transfers from property under construction to investment property in Austria.

Property under construction did not include any IFRS 16 rights of use as of 30 June 2021 or 30 June 2020. All IFRS 16 rights of use attributable to property under construction (EUR 14.0 million; 2020: EUR 12.4 million) are reported under assets held for sale (see section Error! Reference source not found.).

4.3 Equity-accounted investments

The carrying amount of the equity-accounted investments totalled EUR 501.0 million as of 30 June 2021, whereby EUR 497.5 million are attributable to S IMMO AG. Based on the 19,499,437 shares held by IMMOFINANZ, the book value per share of S IMMO AG equals EUR 25.51. The share of results from equityaccounted investments reported on the income statement amounts to EUR 124.1 million, whereby EUR 121.8 million are attributable to S IMMO AG.

Additional information on the receivables write-offs resulting from COVID-19 is provided in section 5.2.

The increase in other financial receivables is related to advance payments for the acquisition of shares in a project company. This project company is responsible for the construction of retail parks under the STOP SHOP brand.

Convertible bond 2017–2024

IMMOFINANZ issued a convertible bond on 24 January 2017 through an accelerated book-building process with institutional investors. The bond has a nominal value of EUR 297.2 million, an initial interest rate of 2.0% and a term ending on 24 January 2024. Following the receipt of an investment grade rating of BBB- from S&P Global Ratings in the first quarter of 2019, the coupon was reduced by 0.5% to 1.5% in accordance with the issue terms beginning with the interest rate period as of 24 January 2019. S&P Global Ratings confirmed this rating during its annual review process in February 2020 and again after the successful share placement and issue of the mandatory convertible bond in July 2020 as well as in connection with the annual review process in February 2021. The outlook for the issuer rating is set at stable.

The convertible bond 2017–2024 includes a (non-separable) put option at the nominal value plus accrued interest as of 24 January 2022, which also determined the instrument's maturity up to the third quarter of 2020. As of 31 December 2020, the term was changed to 24 January 2024 based on a revised estimate for the probable exercise of the put option.

The conversion price for the convertible bond 2017–2024 currently equals EUR 21.3772 per share. The conversion right can be exercised up to 10 January 2024.

Mandatory convertible bond 2020–2023

IMMOFINANZ issued a subordinated mandatory convertible bond with a total nominal value of EUR 120.0 million on 23 July 2020. The mandatory convertible bond represents a hybrid financial instrument which must be separated into equity and debt components on initial recognition. The regular interest payments are classified as a financial liability, while the mandatory conversion is considered an equity component. The liabilities from convertible bonds include a liability equal to the present value of future interest payments on this mandatory convertible bond.

COVID-19 led to the legally mandated suspension of rental payments in individual countries during the first half of 2021. In addition, voluntary retrospective and prospective rental price reductions were agreed. The pure suspension of rental payments does not have an impact on recognised revenues. Rental price reductions for future periods will be distributed over the remaining term of the respective contract as lease incentives. Previously invoiced rental payments were written down and expensed accordingly (information on the receivables write-offs resulting from COVID-19 is also provided in 5.2).

5.2 Expenses from investment property

Total -31,582 -38,892

The decline in receivables write-offs is attributable to the increased write-offs in the previous year which resulted from COVID-19. Of the EUR -9.4 million receivables write-offs recognised in the first half of 2021, EUR -9.2 million are attributable to COVID-19.

COVID-19 has led to delays in the completion of property sales during 2021, but there were no price adjustments. The results from deconsolidation include EUR -8.3 million from the reclassification of currency translation differences to profit or loss, whereby EUR -3.3 million are attributable to the liquidation of a Cypriot holding company. This liquidation was approved in 2018 and finalised during the first half of 2021. The negative effect from the reclassification of currency translation differences on the income statement is neutralised on the statement of comprehensive income.

The income from derecognised liabilities consists primarily of an expired, non-refundable advance purchase price of TEUR 324 in the "Other Countries" operating segment.

Most of the miscellaneous other operating income in 2021 involves income from tax credits and contract registration fees.

5.6 Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses include the following items:

Other write-downs -803 -687
Miscellaneous -997 -2,029
Total -22,967 -26,533

The decrease in other operating expenses resulted, above all, from a substantial year-on-year decline in taxes, levies and personnel expenses. In the first half of 2020, taxes and levies included the write-off of EUR 1.8 million in uncollectible VAT receivables in Romania.

5.7 Revaluation results from investment property and goodwill

6.2 Hierarchy of financial instruments carried at fair value

The following section includes an analysis of the financial instruments carried at fair value. A three-level classification was developed for this analysis in accordance with the measurement hierarchy defined in IFRS 13:

  • Level 1: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities on an active market (without any adjustments)
  • Level 2: inputs that can be derived directly (e.g. as prices) or indirectly (e.g. based on prices) for the individual assets or liabilities and cannot be classified under Level 1
  • Level 3: inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data

Of the EUR 11.2 million results recognised in profit or loss and reported in the above table, EUR 10.3 million are attributable to financial instruments that were held as of 30 June 2021. The respective amounts are included under other financial results.

The valuation procedures and valuation-relevant input factors used to determine the fair value of financial instruments (for both continuing and discontinued operations) are as follows:

Level Financial instruments Valuation method Major input factors Major non-observable

3 Real estate fund shares Net present value methods Discount rate, expected

9.00%
3 Derivatives (interest rate

IMMOFINANZ calculates the fair value of derivatives by discounting the future cash flows based on a net present value method. The interest rates used to discount the future cash flows are based on an interest curve that is observable on the market. The following three parameters are required to calculate the credit value adjustment (CVA) and the debt value adjustment (DVA): the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). The probability of default is derived from the credit default swap (CDS) spreads of the respective counterparty. Derivatives with a positive fair value represent receivables for IMMOFINANZ; in these cases, a CVA calculation is used to calculate the amount of the receivable. One parameter for this calculation is the probability of default for the counterparties. IMMOFINANZ concludes contracts with over ten financial institutions, and observable CDS spreads are available on the market for many of them. In exceptional cases, average branch benchmarks are used as a substitute for unavailable spreads. These benchmarks represent Level 1 and 2 input factors on the fair value measurement hierarchy. Derivatives with a negative fair value represent liabilities for IMMOFINANZ; in these cases, a DVA calculation is used to calculate the amount of the liability and IMMOFINANZ's own probability of default must be determined. IMMOFINANZ generally concludes derivatives at the level of the property company that manages a particular property. Neither observable market CDS spreads, nor benchmarks are available for these property companies. Credit margins are therefore used to estimate CDS spreads which, in turn, form the basis for deriving the probability of default. The credit margin for IMMOFINANZ is determined in a two-step procedure. The first step involves the calculation of an average margin based on signed credit agreements and term sheets, whereby the time horizon for the applied margins equals twelve months. The second step involves obtaining indicative credit margin offers from banks and averaging these values with the margins from the credit agreements and term sheets. These offers are grouped by country and asset class. The individual property companies that have concluded financial instruments are assigned to a group based on country and asset class. The plausibility of the calculated credit margins is also verified by comparison with external market reports. This procedure results in market-conform credit margins that can be used as estimates for valuing the company's own credit risk. These input factors represent Level 3 on the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. The loss given default (LGD) is the relative value that would be lost on default. IMMOFINANZ uses an ordinary market default rate to calculate the CVA and DVA. The exposure at default represents the expected amount of the asset or liability at the time of default. The calculation of the exposure at the time of default is based on a Monte Carlo simulation.

For net present value methods, an increase in the discount rate, exit yield or counterparty CDS values leads to a reduction in fair value. In contrast, fair value is increased by a reduction in these input factors.

The valuation of default risk includes assumptions for the probability of default, the loss rate and the outstanding amount at the time of expected default. An increase in the probability of default and the loss rate will reduce the fair value of a derivative with a positive outstanding amount (receivable) and reduce the liability for a derivative with a negative outstanding amount (liability). A decrease in the probability of default and the loss rate leads to the opposite effect.

On 2 July 2021, IMMOFINANZ acquired a retail park with roughly 27,000 sqm of rentable space in the North Italian city of San Fior. The seller is Barings, an international investment bank. The sale price amounted to approximately EUR 35.0 million. This market entry in Italy gives IMMOFINANZ a presence in ten European countries with its STOP SHOP retail parks. Up to ten further STOP SHOP locations in Italy are planned by 2024.

On 26 August 2021, IMMOFINANZ announced that it intends to exercise its right to the premature mandatory conversion of the 4% mandatory convertible bond, which is due in 2023, at the total nominal amount of EUR 120 million on the optional mandatory conversion date of 26 September 2021 in accordance with the issue terms.

On 30 August 2021, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board passed a resolution which calls for an increase in the dividend recommendation to the annual general meeting for the 2020 financial year from EUR 0.55 to EUR 0.75 per share.
