Portfolio

Portfolio segmentation and housing stock

The LEG portfolio can be divided into three market clusters using a scoring system: high-growth markets, stable markets and higher-yielding markets. The indicators for the scoring system are described in the annual report 2020.

LEG's portfolio is spread across around 210 locations. The geographical focus is the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. LEG is also present in Lower Saxony, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg. The average flat size is 64 square meters and the average monthly rent is EUR 6.03 per square meter.

As at 31 March 2021, the property portfolio comprised 144,519 residential units, 1,341 commercial units and 39,456 garages and parking spaces.

Performance of the LEG portfolio

Operational development

The like-for-like in-place rent was EUR 6.03 per square meter and month as of 31 March 2021. This represents an increase of 2.8% compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

In the free financed portfolio, which represents around 76% of the portfolio, the like-for-like in-place rent increased by 3.3 % year-on-year to EUR 6.43 per square meter. Within the free financed portfolio, the high-growth markets showed an increase of 3.6% to EUR 7.45 per square meter (like-for-like). In the stable markets, the average monthly rent rose by 3.3% to EUR 6.07 per square meter (like-for-like). Rents in the higher-yielding markets also increased by 3.3% and thus averaged EUR 5.83 per square meter (like-for-like) at the end of the quarter.

There will be no regular adjustment of cost rents in 2021. Accordingly, in the rent-restricted portfolio, the average monthly rent rose by only 0.5 % or EUR 0.03 to EUR 4.91 per square meter (like-for-like) at the end of the reporting period.

As at 31 March 2021, the EPRA vacancy rate on a like-for-like basis decreased by 70 basis points to 2.7% compared to the previous year's reporting date. The high-growth markets achieved an occupancy rate of 98.4 % (like-for-like), implying an almost fully let status as at the quarterly reporting date. In the stable markets, the occupancy rate reached 97.3% (like-for-like). The strongest increase was recorded in the higher-yielding markets with 130 basis points to 95.8% (like-for-like).

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 10.8 % to EUR 126.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased slightly from 74.1% (comparative period) to 74.8% in the reporting period.

In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bond in the amount of EUR 48.0 million (comparative period: EUR –0.3 million).

Current income tax expenses of EUR – 1.7 million were recorded in the reporting period.

In the reporting period, the LEG Group increased its net rental and lease income by EUR 12.5 million compared to the same period of the previous year. Main drivers of this development were the EUR 14.9 million rise in net cold rents and the EUR 4.3 million expansion of value-added services under other. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.8% in the reporting period. This was countered by the increase in maintenance expenses for externally produced services by EUR 3.3 million as well as the increase in staff costs by EUR 3.4 million which was mainly due to an increase in the number of hired workers.

Due to disproportionate development of net rental and lease income compared with the development of in-place rent the NOI margin increased from 75.9% to 76.6% in the reporting period.

The EPRA capex splits the capitalised expenditure of the reporting period in comparison to the comparative period and reconciles to payment for investments in investment properties. The capital expenditure, divided into Development (EUR 0.5 million) and Investments in investment properties (EUR 69.3 million), increased to EUR 69.8 million in the reporting period. The decrease in acquisitions to 49.4 million euros had an opposite effect.

In addition to the value-adding modernisation, the increase in maintenance expenses by EUR 5.8 million to EUR 24.4 million resulted in total investments of EUR 94.2 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 73.3 million). Investments for new construction activities (EUR 0.5 million), public safety measures in connection with acquisitions (EUR 0.1 million) and capitalised own services (EUR 4.6 million) were eliminated from total investment when calculating total investment per square meter. Adjusted total investment was EUR 89.0 million and average total investment per square metre in the reporting period was EUR 9.44 per square metre (comparative period: EUR 8.12 per square metre). In the comparative period, only investments for new construction activities were deducted. The capitalisation rate increased to 75.5 % in the reporting period (comparative period: 74.2%).

Net finance earnings 23.1 –20.0

The interest expense increased by EUR 2.3 million year on year to EUR 24.9 million. The main driver for the increase in interest expenses is the issued convertible bond with a nominal value of EUR 550.0 million in the second quarter 2020.

Year-on-year the average interest rate decreased to 1.29% as at 31 March 2021 (1.46% as at 31 March 2020) with an average term of 7.5 years (8.1 years as at 31 March 2020).

In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bonds in the amount of EUR 48.0 million (comparative period: EUR –0.2 million).

Reconciliation to FFO

FFO I is a key financial performance indicator of LEG Group. LEG Group distinguishes between FFO I (not including net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex). The calculation methods for these key figures can be found in the glossary in the 2020 annual report.

FFO I, FFO II and AFFO were calculated as follows in the reporting period and the same period of the previous year:

At EUR 104.1 million, FFO I was 10.7 % higher in the reporting period than in the same period of the previous year (EUR 94.0 million). In particular, this increase is attributable to the positive impact from the rise in net cold rent including the effects of the concluded acquisitions.

Despite a slight increase in interest expenses, there is an increase of the interest coverage ratio (ratio of adjusted EBITDA to cash interest expense) from 598% in the same period of the previous year to 615% in the reporting period.

Total equity and liabilities 15,849.1 15,282.3

Investment property increased primarily as a result of additions from acquisitions of EUR 50.1 million and capitalisation of property modernisation measures of EUR 68.9 million.

The recognition of real estate tax expense as other inventories (EUR 18.5 million) for the remainder of the financial year and the deferral of prepaid operating costs (EUR 10.1 million) contributed significantly to the development of the receivables and other assets.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 438.1 million to EUR 773.5 million. This development is mainly due to the issuance of a corporate bond with net proceeds of EUR 494.2 million. This was offset by scheduled and unscheduled repayments of EUR 7.1 million and still high acquisition and investment activity of EUR 140.3 million.

While financial liabilities increased by EUR 486.3 million compared to 31 December 2020 mainly due to the corporate bond issued in March 2021, the other current liabilities declined by EUR 100.7 million due to the valuation and change of maturity of the derivatives for the convertible bond issued in 2017 (EUR – 91.9 million). For the same reason the other non-current liabilities increased by EUR 43.9 million as of 31 March 2021.

EPRA Net Tangible Asset (EPRA NTA)

Further key metrics relevant in the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the significant key figure. The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2020 annual report.

LEG Immo reports an EPRA NTA of EUR 8,942.4 million or EUR 124.03 per share as at 31 March 2021. Deferred taxes on investment property are adjusted by the amount attributable to LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis. As of 31 March 2021, no dilution effects from the convertible bonds are considered, because the share price does not exceed the current conversion prices at the reporting date.

Loan-to-value ratio (LTV)

Net debt at the end of the reporting period increased slightly compared with 31 December 2020, due to payments for investments, leading to a slightly increased loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 37.7% at the interim reporting date (31 December 2020: 37,6%).

Financial position

A net profit for the period of EUR 124.4 million was realised in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 66.5 million). Equity amounted to EUR 7,526.4 million at the reporting date (31 December 2020: EUR 7,389.9 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 47.5% (31 December 2020: 48.4%).

A condensed form of the LEG Group's statement of cash flows for the reporting period is shown below:

Cash flow from investing activities –143.8 –178.2
Cash flow from financing activities 483.4 –53.1
Change in cash and cash equivalents 438.1 –151.1

Higher receipts from net cold rents had a positive impact on the net cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period.

Essentially, acquisitions and modernisation work on the existing portfolio contributed to the net cash flow from investing activities with cash payments of EUR – 140.3 million. Furthermore, cash proceeds mainly from property disposals in the amount of EUR 5.0 million and acquisition of an equity investment of EUR 6.0 million resulted in a net cash flow from investing activities of EUR –143.8 million.

In the reporting period, the scheduled repayments of subsidised and bank loans (EUR – 7.1 million) and in the opposite direction the issuance of a corporate bond of EUR 494.2 million were the main drivers of the cash flow from financing activities of EUR 483.4 million.

LEG Group's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.

Risk and opportunity report

The risks and opportunities faced by LEG in its operating activities were described in detail in the annual report 2020. To date, no further risks that would lead to a different assessment have arisen or become discernible in the fiscal year 2021.

Forecast

Based on the business performance in the first three months of 2021, LEG believes it is well positioned overall to confirm its earnings targets for the financial year 2021. For more details, please refer to the forecast report in the annual report 2020 (page 75).

Selected notes on the IFRS interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2021

1. Basic information on the Group

LEG Immobilien SE, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "LEG Immo"), its subsidiary LEG NRW GmbH, Dusseldorf (hereinafter: "LEG") and the subsidiaries of the latter company (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "LEG Group") are among the largest residential companies in Germany. The LEG Group held a portfolio of 145,860 (31 March 2020: 137,507) residential and commercial units on 31 March 2021 (145,855 (31 March 2020: 137,318) units excluding IFRS 5 objects).

LEG Group engages in three core activities as an integrated property company: the optimisation of the core business, the expansion of the value chain as well as the portfolio strengthening.

The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all figures have been rounded to millions of Euro (EUR million). For technical reasons, tables and references can include rounded figures that differ from the exact mathematical values.

2. Interim consolidated financial statements

LEG Immo prepared the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim reporting, as endorsed in the EU, and their interpretation by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Based on the option under IAS 34.10, the notes to the financial statements were presented in a condensed form. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited or subjected to an audit review. LEG Group primarily generates income from the rental and letting of investment properties. Rental and lease business, in essence, is unaffected by seasonal and cyclical influences.

3. Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo are the same as those presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo as of 31 December 2020. These interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2021 should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020.

LEG Immo has fully applied the new standards and interpretations that are mandatory from 1 January 2021. The amendments to IFRS 16 (Covid-19-related rent concessions) do not affect the LEG Group's lease accounting. The optional exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification was not applied at the LEG Group. There were no cases of rent being deferred or waived as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic for leases where LEG Group is the lessee. Due to the amendments to the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform of IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 no significant impact on the measurement of drivates used in hedge accounting is expected. Within the prospective effectiveness of the hedging relationship it is assumed that the underlying effect from the replacement of the reference rate due tu the IBOR reform is not significant.

4. Changes in the Group

On 11 March 2021 the conversion of LEG Immobilien AG into the legal form of an SE Societas Europaea (European Company) was registered in the commercial register.

5. Assumptions and estimates

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made that affect the recognition of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.These assumptions and estimates particularly relate to the measurement of investment properties, the recognition and measurement of pension provisions, the recognition and measurement of other provisions, the measurement of financing liabilities, and the eligibility for recognition of deferred tax assets.

Although the management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are appropriate, any unforeseeable changes in these assumptions could impact the net assets, financial position and results of operations. The Covid-19 situation has been considered by judgements. There were no significant impact. Moreover, there were no triggering events for the conduct of an impairment test on goodwill during the reporting period.

In view of the global effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy and society, all current forecasts can be made only with a considerably higher degree of uncertainty. This applies particularly in the context of international links and interrelations between the financial markets, the real economy and political decisions, which each individually have an influence on the economic effects of the pandemic already, but when combined are impossible to assess with any certainty ex ante. The following sections are therefore based on the fundamental assumption that the coronavirus pandemic represents a temporary phenomenon.

Development of property prices and demand

Supply and demand for housing will still be the decisive factors for future price development. It can be assumed that the general conditions in terms of supply (only a slightly increasing number of completions) and demand (continued high level of migration to Germany, particularly in cities and densely populated areas) will continue.

Development of rent defaults and rent deferrals

Only a slight increase in rent defaults can be observed at present. This is partly due to the extensive state transfer payments. Due to the LEG-specific low level of commercial letting, potential rent defaults from commercial properties can currently be classified as insignificant.

Housing vacancies

No developments can be seen at present that would indicate higher vacancies. Despite a pandemicdriven difficult environment, new lettings develop positively and tenant terminations are rather decreasing. In addition, it could be in future, as in the financial crisis in 2008/2009, that immigration from EU countries that are hit hard by the economic consequences of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic could increase creating additional demand for housing in the medium term. In the event of a severe recession, it could even prove to be an opportunity specifically for LEG Group that the company has a large number of affordable apartments and can thus benefit from increased demand for inexpensive housing in times of recession.

After carefully weighing up the information currently available at LEG Group, we have come to the conclusion that the effects of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic on the housing sector in Germany and the effects on the business performance and the intrinsic value of the real estate assets of LEG Group should be manageable. There could even be opportunities for LEG Group in some cases.

For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020.

In the reporting period right of uses in the amount of EUR 1.3 million have been added.

Cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of bank balances as well as money market funds.

Changes in the components of consolidated equity are shown in the statement of changes in consolidated equity.

Financing liabilities are composed as follows:

T29

Financing liabilities

€ million 31.03.2021 31.12.2020
Financing liabilities from real estate financing 6,265.4 5,776.1
Financing liabilities from lease financing 89.9 92.9
Financing liabilities 6,355.3 5,869.0

Financing liabilities from property financing serve the financing of investment properties.

The consolidated financial statements of LEG Immo reported financial liabilities from real estate financing of EUR 6,265.4 million as at 31 March 2021.

As of 31 March 2021, the issuance of a corporate bond with an IFRS carrying amount of EUR 494.2 million increased the financing liabilities. Scheduled and unscheduled repayments of EUR 7.1 million and the amortisation of transaction costs had an opposite effect.

Financing liabilities from real estate financing include among other things two convertible bonds with a nominal value of EUR 550.0 million and an IFRS carrying amount of EUR 524.0 million and a nominal value of EUR 400.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 389.4 million). Furthermore, financing liabilities include four corporate bonds, one with a nominal value of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 494.2 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 496.5 million), one with a nominal amount of EUR 300.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 296.6 million), and one with a nominal amount of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 498.5 million).

The convertible bonds were classified and recognised in full as debt due to the issuer's contractual cash settlement option. There are several embedded derivatives and derivatives that must be separated that are to be jointly regarded as a compound derivative and carried at fair value. The host debt instrument is recognised at amortised cost.

The decrease in financing liabilities from lease financing results from repayments and offsetting from new leases. Already concluded leases starting after the reporting date will arise cash outflows in the amount of EUR 3.4 million.

The main drivers for the changes in maturity of financing liabilities as against 31 December 2020 are the issuance of the corporate bond with a nominal value of EUR 500.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 494.2 million) as well as the reclassification of the convertible bond with a nominal value of EUR 400.0 million (IFRS carrying amount of EUR 389.4 million) from short-term to mid-term maturity because it is no longer in the money.

7. Selected notes to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

Net rental and lease income is broken down as follows:

T31

Net rental and lease income

31.03.2020
Net cold rent 168.4 153.5

Non-recurring project costs - rental and lease 1.6 0.7
Depreciation 2.6 2.5
Adjusted net rental and lease income 133.2 119.7
Adjusted net operating income – Margin (in %) 79.1 78.0

In the reporting period, LEG Group increased its net rental and lease income by EUR 12.5 million compared to the same period of the previous year. Main drivers of this development were the EUR 14.9 million rise in net cold rents and the EUR 4.3 million expansion of value-added services under other. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 2.8% in the reporting period. This was countered by the increase in maintenance expenses for externally produced services by EUR 3.3 million as well as the increase in staff costs by EUR 3.4 million, which was mainly due to an increase in the number of hired workers.

Due to disproportionate development of net rental and lease income compared with the development of the net cold rent the NOI margin increased from 75.9% to 76.6% in the reporting period.

In the reporting period following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included.

Depreciation and amortisation 1.0 1.1
Non-recurring project costs and extraordinary and prior-period expenses 1.3 0.8
Adjusted administrative and other expenses –9.3 –8.4

The increase in other operating expenses is mainly attributable to increased consultant costs. The adjusted administrative expenses increased by EUR 0.9 million in the first three months compared to the same period in the previous year.

In the reporting period following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included.

Interest expense from interest on other assets and liabilities 0.0 0.0
Interest expenses from lease financing –0.5 –0.5
Other interest expenses –0.5 0.1
Interest expenses –24.9 –22.6

Interest expense from loan amortisation increased by EUR 0.8 million year on year to EUR 4.1 million. The main driver for the increased is the convertible bond with a nominal value of EUR 550.0 million issued in the second quarter 2020.

Intermedia result in € 0.97 0.92
Diluted earnings per share in € 0.97 0.92

As at 31 March 2021, LEG Immo had convertible bonds outstanding, which authorise the bearer to convert it into up to 7.0 million ordinary shares.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by increasing the average number of shares outstanding by the number of all potentially dilutive shares. The net profit/loss for the period is adjusted for the expenses no longer incurring for the interest coupon, the measurement of the embedded derivatives and the amortisation of the convertible bond and the resulting tax effect in the event of the conversion rights being exercised in full.

8. Notes on Group segment reporting

As a result of the revision of internal management reporting, LEG Group has no longer been managed as two segments since the 2016 financial year. The Group is now managed as one segment.

The LEG Group is managed by the following key performance indicators:

FFO

FFO I is a key financial performance indicator of the LEG Group. The LEG Group distinguishes between FFO I (not including net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex). The calculation methods for these key figures can be found in the glossary in the 2020 annual report.

FFO I, FFO II and AFFO were calculated as follows in the reporting period and the same period of the previous year:

EPRA Net Tangible Asset (EPRA NTA)

Further key metrics relevant in the property industry are EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV. LEG Immo has defined the EPRA NTA as the significant key figure. The calculation method for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2020 annual report.

LEG Immo reports an EPRA NTA of EUR 8,942.4 million or EUR 124.03 per share as at 31 March 2021. Deferred taxes on investment property are adjusted by the amount attributable to the LEG Group's planned property sales. The acquisition costs are not considered. The key figures are presented exclusively on a diluted basis. As of 31 March 2021, no dilution effects from the convertible bonds are considered, because the share price does not exceed the current conversion prices at the reporting date.

Net debt at the end of the reporting period increased slightly compared with 31 December 2020, due to payments for investments, leading to a slightly increased loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 37.7% at the interim reporting date (31 December 2020: 37.6%).

9. Financial instruments

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities broken down by measurement category and class. Receivables and liabilities from finance leases and derivatives used as hedging instruments are included even though they are not assigned to an IFRS 9 measurement category. With respect to reconciliation, non-financial assets and non-financing liabilities are also included although they are not covered by IFRS 7.

The fair values of financial instruments are determined on the basis of corresponding market values or measurement methods. For cash and cash equivalents and other short-term primary financial instruments, the fair value is approximately the same as the carrying amount at the end of the respective reporting period.

For non-current receivables, other assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated on the basis of the forecast cash flows, applying the reference interest rates as of the end of the reporting period. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date.

For financial instruments at fair value, the discounted cash flow method is used to determine fair value using corresponding quoted market prices, with individual credit ratings and other market conditions being taken into account in the form of standard credit and liquidity spreads when calculating present value. If no quoted market prices are available, the fair value is calculated using standard measurement methods applying instrument-specific market parameters.

When calculating the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the input parameters for the valuation models are the relevant market prices and interest rates observed as of the end of the reporting period, which are obtained from recognised external sources. The derivatives are therefore attributable to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13.72 ff (measurement on the basis of observable inputs).

Both the Group's own risk and the counterparty risk were taken into account in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives in accordance with IFRS 13.

As at 31 March 2021, the fair value of the very small equity investments was EUR 13.8 million, unchanged to the valuation as at 31 December 2020.

The fair value of the very small equity investments is calculated using DCF procedures as there are no quoted prices in an active market for the relevant equity investments. The fair value calculated using valuation models is allocated to Level 3 of the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. Allocation to Level 3 takes place based on valuation models with inputs not observed on a market. This relates primarily to the capitalisation rate of 4.21%. As at 31 March 2021, the fair value of the very small equity investments was EUR 13.8 million. The stress test of this parameter on the basis of plus 50 basis points results in the fair value being EUR 12.51 million lower and at minus 50 basis points EUR 15.51 million higher.
