1 Key Financial Performance Indicators.
To present the results of operations, some items in the income statement are aggregated into the following items:
The results of operations show all income as positive and all expenses as negative.
Based on the earnings position, the following adjustments reflect the adjusted earnings position that is relevant from the perspective of the management of the Instone Group:
The revenue recognition in the context of the adjusted earnings situation of the Instone Group continues to reflect both share deals and asset deals in analogous application of IFRS 15, irrespective of the IFRS IC's decision to exclude share deals from the time-period-related revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS 15.
The adjusted earnings after taxes is intended to reflect sustainable earnings power and is therefore adjusted for non-recurring non-recurring effects and non-recurring effects. In particular, the following material expenses are adjusted: disposal losses from sales of property, plant and equipment, financial assets or securities, impairment losses on property, plant andequipment, non-recurring expenses in connection with the measurement of inventory assets, costs for acquisitions,merger losses, conventional penalties, tax receivables from previous years (for example due to internal audits), redundancy payments to the Management Board, as well as large-scale staff reductions and restructurings insofar as they do not meet the stringent criteria of IAS 37. Adjusting for material income includes, in particular,income from the disposal gains on sales of fixed assets, damages, reversals of impairment losses on fixed assets, refunds of taxes from previous years on the basis of internal audits, reversals of provisions for unusual events, and merger profits.

Adjusted revenue was in the first three quarters 2025 with €347.5 million (previous year period: €384.5 million) around 9.6% below the previous year's figure. The decline in adjusted sales revenues is mainly due to a year-over-year reduction in construction output.
Adjusting for effects from purchase price allocations changed sales revenues slightly by €0.3 million (previous year period: €-0.5 million). Following the separate measurement of the share deals (Westville project ), sales revenues rose by €72.5 million (previous year period: €69.3 million). This increase compared with the same period a year earlier stems from the planned progress in project development.

Adjusted project expenses, which mainly comprise cost of materials and inventory changes, declined in the first three quarters 2025 also on €-264.4 million (previous year period: €-291.6 million). In particular, lower construction activity year over year led to a reduction in the cost of materials €-241.4 million (previous year period: €-307.8 million). Due to the declining progress of the unsold projects currently being implemented, the inventory changes to €38.1 million (previous year period: €73 million).

The marked change compared with the same period a year earlier is based on project assessments for the given cut-off date. Adjusted project expenses, in turn, rose by €-60.4 million (previous year period: €-67.9 million).

All shares in franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG were sold with effect from 1 July 2025. This company is therefore no longer part of the consolidated financial statements as of that date and has been deconsolidated. The sale of the shares resulted in other income of €13.1 million and investment income of €20,9 million. As a result of the deconsolidation, inventories of €133.5 million and bank balances of €46.1 million were no longer recognized on the asset side as at 1 July 2025. On the liabilities side, the consolidated financial statements no longer include €27.4 million in financial liabilities (subsidized loan), €6.1 million in non-current other liabilities related to the interest and repayment subsidy for the subsidized loan, €5.9 million in other non-current liabilities related to the transfer of the subsidy to the buyer, €4.9 million in income tax liabilities and €3.7 million in trade payables.
As at 30 September 2025, the Instone Group's total assets fell to €1,779.7 million (31 December 2024: €1,939.0 million). This is due in particular to the above-mentioned decrease in inventories, cash and cash equivalents and term deposits due to the deconsolidation of franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG.
The increase in non-current assets results mainly from the interests in joint ventures. The shares accounted for using the equity method, which mainly include investments in project companies, rose in the first quarter of 2025 from €64.2 million to €71.5 million. This is mainly due to the sale, construction progress and transfer of project developments to joint ventures.
The non-current financial receivables amounting to €1.9 million (31 December 2024: €5.0 million) include loans to joint ventures and have decreased due to scheduled repayments.

Payments received from customers amounted to €-292.28 million as at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: €-219.0 million).

The other current assets amounting to €161.0 million (31 December 2024: €149.1 million) mainly include trade receivables, current financial receivables, income tax assets and other receivables and other assets.
Trade receivables in the reporting period decreased to €9.8 million (31 December 2024: €11..7 million). Overall, the receivables primarily include retentions for delivered residential projects.
The current financial receivables amounting to €25.7 million (31 December 2024: €24.3 million) mainly relate to a loan to a joint venture.
Due to advance payments in the reporting period, income tax assets increased to €12.1 million (31 December 2024: €8.7 million).
Other current receivables and other assets increased in the reporting period from €101.2 million to €110.4 million. These items consist largely of approved public grants in the amount of €45.1 million (31 December 2024: €59.4 million) for the construction of buildings, including the subsidy from the KfW efficiency program. Prepayments on land for which the transfer of benefits and encumbrances takes place after the balance sheet date increased to €56.1 million in the reporting period due new investments (31 December 2024: €39.5 million). Furthermore, this item contains other receivables from the sale of shares in franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG in the amount of €7.0 million.
Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits decreased in the reporting period to €342.1 million (31 December 2024: €426.2 million), largely due to the deconsolidation of franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG (effect: €46.1 million). This includes cash and cash equivalents from subsidized loans taken out for customers in the amount of €120.6 million (31 December 2024: €160.0 million). For more information, please refer to the consolidated statement of cash flows, page 31 et seq.

Recognized total liabilities from financing operations therefore reduced to €468.5 million as at the reporting date (31 December 2024: €511.3 million). The decline in corporate finance results from the scheduled repayment of the promissory note loan in the amount of €30.0 million in August 2025. The decline in project financing concerns only non-current financial liabilities. The short-term project financing included in this contains option agreements for extension.
Non-current liabilities decreased significantly to €364.3 million as at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: €391.1 million). The same period also saw current financial liabilities fall to €104.2 million (31 December 2024: €120.2 million) The decline in financial liabilities is due to an increased net repayment of financial loans in the reporting period.
In addition, non-current financial liabilities from the deconsolidation of franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG were discharged (effect: €27.4 million).

Non-current provisions and other liabilities amounting to €64.2 million (31 December 2024: €96.4 million) mainly comprise other non-current liabilities and deferred tax assets amounting to €16.1 million (31 December 2024: €34.3 million).
Other non-current liabilities amounting to €33.3 million (31 December 2024: €47.4 million) relate entirely to the interest and repayment subsidy in connection with subsidized loans. The decrease results from the granting of a repayment subsidy for one of the subsidized loans in the amount of €5.9 million and from the deconsolidation of frank PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG (effect: €6.1 million).
Current provisions and other liabilities in the amount of €633.6 million (31 December 2024: €737.9 million) mainly comprise other current liabilities, trade payables, other provisions amounting to €24.6 million (31 December 2024: €26.3 million) and contract liabilities.
The decline in other current liabilities to €449.0 million (31 December 2024: €541.5 million) resulted mainly from payments received for the "Westville" project in the amount of €427.6 million (31 December 2024: €503.3 million) due to the deconsolidation of franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG. The additional fall in liabilities from government grants in the amount of €12.4 million (31 December 2024: €25.4 million) corresponds to the construction progress of publicly subsidized projects in the reporting year.
In the reporting period, trade payables decreased to €122.9 million (31 December 2024: €134.2 million) and mainly included the services provided by contractors. The decrease corresponds to the decline in construction output in the reporting period and is also impacted by the deconsolidation of franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG (effect: €3.7 million).
As expected, contract liabilities decreased in line with the progress of individual projects to €9.4 million (31 December 2024: €20.4 million).
The equity ratio as at 30 September 2025 was 34.5% (31 December 2024: 30.6%).

The leverage (excluding the subsidized loans for the "Westville" project) increased slightly compared to 31 December 2024. In the opinion of the management, it remains at a very low level. The increase in net debt elevated the leverage to 3.1 times the adjusted EBITDA compared to 31 December 2024. The ratio of net debt to balance sheet inventories, contract assets and contract liabilities improved to 13.6% (31 December 2024: 10.5%). This development is in line with management's expectations.

The Instone Group's cash flow from operations of €-1.6 million worsened significantly compared to the previous year (previous-year period: €127.1 million), primarily due to the substantial decline in payments from buyers for project handovers. In September 2024, a final payment of €91.4 million was recognized upon handover of an investor project. In addition, payments from buyers during the construction period were lower compared to the same period in the previous year. The amount of purchase price payments and land transfer tax payments for land increased significantly to a total of €27.8 million (previous-year period: €3.4 million).
Of the cash and cash equivalents as at 30 September 2025, a total of €128.8 million (previous-year period: €175.8 million) was subject to a restriction on disposal.

1 Net working capital is made up of inventories, contract assets and trade receivables, other receivables less contract liabilities and trade payables and other liabilities.
At €26.2 million (previous-year period: €130.5 million), the operating cash flow, adjusted for payments for land in the reporting period, was significantly lower than the figure in the corresponding period of the previous year for the reasons mentioned above.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to €-24.1 million in the first three quarters of 2025 (previous-year period: €5.3 million). This substantial deterioration is due chiefly to the disposal of liquid funds in connection with the sale of franky PropCo 1 GmbH & Co. KG in the amount of €46.1 million. In contrast, the corresponding purchase price payment amounted to €14.9 million.
The cash flow from financing activities as at 30 September 2025 stood at €-58.4 million (previous-year period: €-86.1 million). This was mainly due to the net repayment of existing finance facilities in the amount of €-15.1 million (previous-year period: net borrowing €-44.4 million), consisting of incoming payments from new financial loans taken out in the amount of €89.2 million (previous-year period: €98.2 million) and repayments for maturing financial loans in the amount of €104.3 million (previous year: €142.6 million). In the reporting period, a dividend payment of €21.7 million (previous-year period: €14.3 million) and interest payments of €18.9 million (previous-year period: €24.3 million) were included in the cash flow from financing activities.
As at 30 September 2025, financial resources fell to €342.1 million (previous-year period: €429.9 million).

The sales-relevant (adjusted) contract volume of our projects is reflected in the marketing volume. It essentially encompasses all sales-related transactions, such as notarised real estate purchase agreements, individual orders from customers, and rental income. Sales volumes are also used as a synonym for the marketing volume.
In the third business quarter, sales in the segment's unit sales continued to grow, resulting in a sales volume for the same period of €75.9 million for 151 units sold (H1 2021/22: €90.6 million/182 units). At €166.5 million and 333 units sold for the first nine months of 2025, the level of unit sales was largely shaped by the sales races implemented in the reporting period. The unit sales volume almost doubled year over year (previous year: €88.7 million/170 units).
In reporting period, an institutional sales agreement was reached with a subproject from "Grafental" in Düsseldorf. Together with completed addenda and purchase price adjustments for already sold projects as well as rental income, the sales volume of the investor goods is €62.5 million with 117 sales units.
In total, therefore, sales of €229.0 million were achieved with 450 sales units. This significantly exceeded the sales value of the same period of the previous year (previous year: €156.6 million/336 units).
The full realised volume of sales contracts as at 30 September 2025 was focused on the most important metropolitan regions of Germany.
2 The portfolio value for cut-off date is calculated as the total expected revenue volume for all projects listed in the project portfolio. Instone Real Estate divides its project portfolio into three different groups depending on the stage of development. For projects with pre-sales status, the respective property is either purchased, secured, or subject to a mandatory offer from us, but marketing has not yet started. Once the project has been approved for distribution and marketing begins, it will be given the "before construction begins" status. Projects that have been completed before construction begins have the status "under construction" until they are handed over in full. With the realization of the structural commitments, the total sale (exception: projects in the unit sales department where the proportion of units still to be sold is less than 2%) and complete handover of all subprojects, projects are removed from the project portfolio in the following reporting month.

Volume of sales contracts results (partly) from supplementary items to the purchase agreement.
The offer to sell our individual sales projects on the market as of 30 September 2025, included 502 units with an expected revenue volume of around €304 million. The increase in the sales offer compared with the 2024 final year (31 December 2024: 375 units and €221 million) is due to the start-up of the "Lahnwarte" project in Frankfurt am Main, the "nyoo berry" project in Duisburg, the "Gefylde" project in Herrenberg, the "Polaris" project in Hofheim, as well as another subproject of the "Parkresidenz" project in Leipzig with a total of 460 units. This deducted the successful sale of a total of 333 unit sales units in the reporting period.

As at 30 September 2025, the Instone Group's project portfolio comprised 46 projects, from which we currently anticipate a total volume of sales contracts of €7,076.8 million, representing an increase from the figure as at 31 December 2024 (€6,891.1 million).
This increase is mainly due to a total of eight newly approved projects in the reporting period (€543.5 million). Some of the new approvals are based on agreements with a subsequent land acquisition. As a result, these investments are reserved, but the final decision on the acquisitions has still to be made in part. The Management Board of the Instone Group also expects to see an additional increase in investment volume in the coming months.
The revenue changes from various Long-term Portfolio projects also had an increasing impact on the project portfolio value (€150.4 million) as part of the further planning work.
The reductions in the project portfolio result from the successful completion of the "Seetor City Campus" and "Carlina Park" projects in Nuremberg and the "west.side" project in Bonn (volume: €380.5 million). Withdrawal from an investment permit in Mönchengladbach due to sharp changes in the economic environment is also reducing (see "Investment not completed" category).
Of the current project portfolio, €2,249.7 million in adjusted sales revenues have already been realized, of which €1,354.1 million have already been handed over.
As of 30 September 2025, the projected project gross profit margin on the project portfolio, excluding the Westville project in Frankfurt am Main, is around 24.4%1 and thus higher than at the end of 2024 (23.0%).
Taking into account the large-scale Westville project, the expected project gross profit margin for the Project portfolio at around 23.4% as of 30 September 2025.

The major share — approximately 98% — of the total expected revenue volume of the project portfolio as of 30 September 2025, is located in Germany's most important metropolitan regions: Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Cologne/Bonn, Leipzig, Munich, Nuremberg, and Stuttgart. Other attractive medium-sized cities account for around 2%.
The 46 projects in the Instone Group's project portfolio (as shown in figure 004) are supplemented by five additional projects that are implemented in companies that are not fully consolidated. A total revenue volume of around €1.6 billion (Instone Group's share of around €670 million) and the development of around 2,750 residential units are expected for these projects.
Includes Berlin and Nauen.

Thanks to the acquisitions, which came back into focus, and the ongoing completion of sold projects, most of our ongoing projects are in the development stage "before sales start."
Thanks to the consistent development of our projects in terms of building regulations and in the design phases relevant to construction, a total of five sales phases were able to achieve marketing maturity and start sales accordingly. Due to the improved market environment for unit sales, especially for the investment product with attractive depreciation options, sales start-ups for additional projects are planned for the final quarter of 2025.
The categories shown in figure 005 are generally at a comparable level as of the end of the previous year (31 December 2024: 56.8% pre-sale/40.7% under construction/2.5% pre-construction). There is also a slight shift from the "under construction" category to the "pre-construction" and/or "presale".
The share of the portfolio of project parts that have already been handed over (31 December 2024: 16.3%), which is included in the "under construction" category, rose compared with the 2024 figure at the end of the year.
Furthermore, the preceding chart clearly shows that as of 30 September 2025, we have already sold around 37% of the expected total revenue volume of the project portfolio. Relative to the expected revenue volume of the "under construction" and "pre-construction" project categories, around 90% of the projects were sold as of 30 September 2025.
1 18.5% of the project portfolio has already been transferred. These projects are included in "under construction".
2 0.6% of the project portfolio has already been transferred. These projects are included in "pre-construction".
3 8.2% of the project portfolio are in the status of "land acquisition". These projects are included in "pre-sale".

Adjusted revenue of €347.5 million was generated in the reporting period (previous year: €384.5 million). The following projects have contributed substantially to the adjusted sales revenues:

| Revenue volume (adjusted) |

|---|---|---|
| "Westville" | Frankfurt a. M. | 72.7 |
| "Schönhof-Viertel" | Frankfurt a. M. | 62.2 |

| "Literaturquartier" | Essen | 11.1 |
| "Grafental" | Dusseldorf | 11.0 |
| "nyoo berry" | Duisburg | 10.7 |
The components of success for the realization of adjusted sales revenues are the steady progress in marketing and the process of refining the construction of our projects. In addition to the marketing progress achieved, the progress of the projects currently under construction has made a significant contribution to revenue generation.
In the reporting period, three subprojects of the "Parkresidenz" in Leipzig, the "Lahnwarte" project in Frankfurt am Main, and one subproject each of the "Lagarde" projects in Bamberg, the "nyoo berry" project in Duisburg, and the "Gefylde" project in Herrenberg, were able to start construction with a total of 510 units. A total of 2,539 units are currently in the construction implementation phase in parallel.
At 1,052, the handovers in the reporting period amounted to around €569 million.
We continue to closely follow all developments in this challenging market environment with respect to our projects. Recognizable challenges are integrated into the processes, and the economic project forecasts are prepared in a conservative/realistic manner.
The completed projects in the Instone Group's project portfolio have a marketing rate of almost 100%.

Our forecast for business performance in 2025, which we issued with the publication of the summarized management report for the 2024 fiscal year in March 2025, continues to be confirmed.
The Management Board now expects the financial and operating performance indicators to develop as follows:

For the quarterly statement on 30 September 2025 In principle, the accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024 were adopted without change.
The consolidated financial statements for the Instone Group as at 31 December 2024 were prepared on the reporting date on the basis of section 315e(1) HGB in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the related Interpretations (IFRIC) of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as they apply in accordance with Regulation No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the application of international accounting standards in the European Union.
The quarterly statement is prepared in euros, which depicts the functional currency and reporting currency of the Group. All amounts are expressed in thousands of euros (thousand euros) unless otherwise noted. Due to rounding, insignificant rounding differences can arise from the addition in the totals.
Reportable transactions of particular significance after the date of issue 30 September 2025 are not available.

This condensed Group interim report contains forward-looking statements based on management's current plans, goals, and forecasts. However, these statements relate only to findings that were available up to the date this condensed Group interim report was prepared. Management assumes no liability for the fact that these forward-looking statements will also materialize. The actual future development and the actual results achieved are subject to various risks and can therefore differ significantly from the forward-looking statements. Several of the risk factors cannot be influenced by the Instone Group and therefore cannot be definitively assessed in advance. This includes, among other things, changes in the economic environment and the competitive environment, legislative amendments, fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, legal disputes and investigative procedures, and the availability of financial resources. These risks as well as other risks are set out in the 2024 Consolidated Management Report summarized with the Company's Management Report and in this Interim Consolidated Report. Other factors may also weigh on both business performance and economic results. Following the publication of this Group Interim Report, there is no provision whatsoever to update or adapt the forward-looking statements made or to adapt them to events and developments.
Some of the figures in this condensed consolidated interim financial report are rounded commercially. As a result, there may be insignificant differences between the figures in the tables and their respective analyzes in the body of the condensed consolidated interim report, as well as between the totals of individual amounts in the tables and the totals also specified in the body of the text. All KPIs and percentage changes listed are calculated on the basis of the underlying data in the unit "thousand euros".
