Fair Value of the Real Estate Portfolio
Fair Value
in € million

The assessment of macroeconomic development in general and interest rates in particular was the dominant factor driving the stock markets in the first nine months of the year. In particular, the first moves by the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank to cut key rates provided a boost to share prices. Further rate cuts are generally expected by the market, fueling an overall positive mood on the stock markets.
In this environment, the DAX climbed by $15.4 \%$ in an upward trend that was largely stable. Following a number of temporary setbacks, shares in Vonovia rose by $14.7 \%$ in the same period and by the end of the third quarter, they were trading at $€ 32.73$, close to their 52-week high. The EPRA Europe benchmark index, which lists Europe's 104 biggest real estate stocks, reported an increase of $6.1 \%$.
The residential property markets in which we operate are characterized by a high level of excess demand, which is increasingly having a positive impact on rental growth.
As a result, we remain confident that the fundamental conditions in our markets will ensure positive development in the long run. Besides the favorable relationship (from an owner's point of view) between supply and demand in urban regions, the relevant factors here include, above all, structural momentum on the revenue side as well as support from the key megatrends.
Vonovia's market capitalization amounted to around $€ 26.9$ billion as of September 30, 2024.
The chart below shows the company's shareholdings based on the data it collects itself and/or based on the voting rights pursuant to Sections 33 and 34 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) as notified by the shareholders in relation to the current share capital.
Major Shareholders (as of September 30, 2024)

Based on the German stock exchange's definition of free float, only the interest held by Norges Bank (Ministry of Finance on behalf of Norway) does not count toward the free float. This means that $85.1 \%$ of Vonovia's shares were in free float on September 30, 2024. The underlying $\nabla$ voting rights notifications and corresponding financial instruments reported by shareholders or other instruments pursuant to Sections 38 and 39 WpHG can be found online.
In line with Vonovia's long-term strategic focus, we believe that the majority of its investors also have a long-term focus. The company's investors include pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and international asset managers in particular. There are also around 188,000 private shareholders, representing around $9 \%$ of the total capital.

Vonovia SE is committed to transparent, ongoing dialogue with its shareholders and potential investors. We continued with our roadshows and meetings in the first nine months of the 2024 fiscal year, in the form of virtual and face-to-face events. We took part in a total of 18 investor conferences and organized 26 roadshow days in the first nine months of 2024 .
In addition, numerous one-on-one meetings, video conferences and conference calls were held with investors and analysts to keep them informed of current developments and special issues. Interest rates, capital structure and growth-related topics dominated conversation in the first nine months of 2024 .
We will continue to communicate openly with the capital market. Various roadshows, conferences and participation in investor forums have already been planned. Information can be found in the Financial Calendar on our $\bigcirc$ Investor Relations website.
As of September 30, 2024, 25 national and international analysts were publishing research studies on Vonovia. The average target share price was $€ 35.01$. Of these analysts, $76 \%$ issued a "buy" recommendation, with $8 \%$ issuing a "hold" recommendation and $16 \%$ a "sell" recommendation.

The core Rental business was characterized by a high level of demand for rental apartments and a positive rent trend in the first nine months of 2024. With a vacancy rate of $2.1 \%$ at the end of the first quarter of 2024 (end of the third quarter of 2023: $2.1 \%$ ), Vonovia's residential real estate portfolio was virtually fully occupied.
The second and third quarters of 2024 saw higher real estate transaction volumes and a bottoming out of real estate values. The ECB key rate cuts favored transactions, particularly in the Recurring Sales and Development segments.
The Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) was 3.4 percentage points above the value seen in the previous year in the third quarter of 2024. On average, the level of customer satisfaction in 2024 to date has increased by 2.8 percentage points as against the year 2023 as a whole.
On September 18, 2024, Vonovia SE and Deutsche Wohnen SE initiated a process to conclude a control and profit and loss transfer agreement between the two companies. This process will involve Vonovia making an offer to external shareholders of Deutsche Wohnen SE to acquire their shares in return for compensation in the form of newly issued shares in Vonovia SE, or to grant the remaining shareholders of Deutsche Wohnen SE an annual compensation payment for the term of the agreement. The necessary approval is to be obtained at extraordinary general meetings organized by the companies in January 2025.
On September 30, Vonovia and Apollo agreed to establish a company that is to hold 20\% of the shares in Deutsche Wohnen SE. In addition to Vonovia, with a 49\% stake, long-term investors advised by Apollo hold a total stake of $51 \%$ in this company. Vonovia's cash inflow from this transaction will amount to just over $€ 1$ billion.
In September 2024, Vonovia also concluded purchase agreements to acquire land to build on from the QUARTERBACK Immobilien Group. The land it owns leaves Vonovia well positioned for future development projects that will help to alleviate the shortage of housing. In the same context, selective purchase agreements were also concluded to acquire property management units from QUARTERBACK Immobilien AG via Deutsche Wohnen. This transaction has a total volume of around $€ 500.0$ million. These transactions are scheduled to have been closed by December 31, 2024.
Further transactions in order to acquire land to build on are planned up to the end of 2024. Additional purchase contracts with a volume of around $€ 275.0$ million have already been signed in this respect following the September 30, 2024, reporting date.
The loan receivables from the QUARTERBACK Immobilien Group included in the financial assets have been offset against the outstanding purchase price components within the scope of these transactions.
Vonovia assumes that the outstanding receivables following the closing of the transactions will not be recoverable and has therefore recognized a corresponding impairment loss in the third quarter of 2024 of $€ 153.2$ million on these receivables and of $€ 26.2$ million on the interest receivables included.
The impairment loss recognized in interest receivables relates to the interest income already collected in the first six months of 2024, but not yet paid. The impairment loss recognized for this interest income is shown netted against the interest income.
The additional impairment loss recognized for loan receivables is shown in the line item "Impairment losses on financial assets" in the consolidated income statement.
In August 2024, Vonovia sold eleven development projects for $€ 488.0$ million to a fund launched by HIH Invest. Further Quarterback Immobilien AG project developments were also sold to the fund for $€ 142.0$ million. Vonovia has an equity share in the fund. These contracts have not yet been closed.
After the third quarter of 2024, Vonovia successfully sold ten additional development projects for around $€ 516$ million to a fund launched by HIH Invest on October 14 and 15, 2024.
In the context of ongoing legal disputes with a social insurance provider, the German Federal Labor Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht) supported the legal view taken by the social insurance provider on October 23, 2024. This resulted in the probability of occurrence being reassessed. As a result, provisions of $€ 69.0$ million were set up in the third quarter of 2024 for a back-payment of contributions to the social insurance provider. Further provisions of around $€ 71.0$ million were set up for direct payments to employees.
In the context of the endeavors to sell the Care segment, contracts were concluded after the end of the third quarter of 2024 for the sale of a total of 27 nursing care properties and the sale of the Katharinenhof nursing care business on October 2, 2024.
In the first six months of 2024, Vonovia successfully concluded a notarized sales contract for around 1,970 residential units and six commercial units on July 26, 2024. The purchase price of around $€ 300$ million is slightly higher than the carrying amounts of the properties sold recognized at the time of the negotiations.
A notarized sales contract for a portfolio in Berlin was successfully concluded on April 23, 2024. The transaction executed with two state-owned Berlin housing construction companies will see around 4,500 residential units with a value of around $€ 700$ million being sold as part of a share deal. The transaction is expected to be closed on December 31, 2024.
A bond in the amount of $€ 328.6$ million was repaid as scheduled on January 15, 2024.
On January 18, 2024, Vonovia issued an unsecured GBP 400.0 million (approx. $€ 465.1$ million) bond with a twelve-year term and a 5.5\% coupon (4.55\% after currency hedging).
On February 14, 2024, Vonovia issued another unsecured bond with a volume of CHF 150.0 million (approx. $€ 159.3$ million), a five-year term and a 2.565\% coupon (4.16\% after currency hedging).
In January and February 2024, several drawdowns were made under the Commercial Paper Program, with a total volume of $€ 500.0$ million.
On March 28, 2024, an amount of $€ 150.0$ million was disbursed under a secured financing agreement concluded with Ergo in December 2023.
With a total volume of $€ 138.7$ million, two secured bullet loans were repaid on March 31, 2024.
On April 8, 2024, a $€ 336.1$ million bond was repaid as scheduled.
A further bond, denominated in Swedish krona and with a volume of SEK 500.0 million (around $€ 48.5$ million), was repaid as scheduled on April 8, 2024.
On April 10, 2024, Vonovia issued a $€ 850.0$ million unsecured social bond with a 4.25\% coupon and a ten-year term.
Vonovia placed a bond with a volume of SEK 750.0 million (approx. $€ 66.9$ million) with a two-year term as part of a private placement on June 19, 2024. The bond is a floatingrate bond (3M STIBOR plus 1.30\% margin; 4.51\% after interest and currency hedging) and is structured as a social bond.
On August 6, 2024, Vonovia took out secured financing with Hamburg Commercial Bank in the amount of $€ 135.0$ million with a maturity of seven years. The amount was disbursed on August 28, 2024.
On August 26, 2024, Vonovia issued a CHF 235.0 million ( $€ 247.8$ million) bond with a seven-year term. The coupon is 2.000\% p.a. (or 3.897\% p.a. after currency hedging).
On September 9, 2024, Vonovia took out a loan in the amount of $€ 110$ million with a ten-year term with Münchener Hypothekenbank. The loan was disbursed on September 12, 2024.
A bond in the amount of $€ 278.3$ million was repaid as scheduled on September 16, 2024.
On September 26, 2024, Vonovia issued an SEK 500.0 million ( $€ 44.3$ million) bond with a four-year term. The bond is a floating-rate bond (3M STIBOR plus 142 basis points).
Following the end of the third quarter of 2024, a $€ 150.0$ million tranche was disbursed on October 15, 2024, under a loan agreement with the European Investment Bank that Vonovia had taken out in 2022.
The Annual General Meeting held on May 8, 2024 resolved to pay a dividend for the 2023 fiscal year in the amount of $€ 0.90$ per share. As in previous years, shareholders were offered the option of choosing between being paid the dividend in cash or being granted new shares. During the subscription period, shareholders holding a total of $30.93 \%$ of the shares carrying dividend rights opted for the scrip dividend instead of the cash dividend. As a result, 8,207,927 new shares were issued using the company's authorized capital for a total of $€ 226,785,023.01$. The total amount of the dividend distributed in cash therefore came to $€ 506,395,475.19$.
From the 2024 fiscal year onwards, a modified management system has been introduced. This uses the Adjusted EBT indicator and is thus more clearly focused on profitability and internal financing. In the future, this performance indicator will also serve as the key parameter for Vonovia's dividend policy. The Adjusted EBT will be used as a basis for a reconciliation to the operating free cash flow (OFCF) as the leading indicator of internal financing. This operating free cash flow is a measure of the Group's operational capacity to generate cash surpluses and, as a result, of its internal financing power.
On March 28, 2024, the rating agency Fitch awarded Vonovia an investment grade rating for the first time: BBB+ with a stable outlook. As positive factors, its analysis emphasizes the stability of the regulated rental housing market in Germany, the strong level of demand for residential units and Vonovia's very high level occupancy rate ( $98 \%$ ).
All in all, Vonovia's performance was in line with expectations in the first nine months of 2024.
Core business in the Rental segment was characterized by high demand for rental apartments and positive rental price development. The Value-add segment posted a marked increase in earnings, which was mainly due to an positive effect resulting from the leasing of our coax network, which will not be reflected to the same extent next year. The general conditions for the other segments continued to improve in the second and third quarters due to higher transaction volumes and signs that property values were bottoming out.
Any analysis of the figures reported has to consider the fact that the prior-year figures are reported based on the current segmentation to facilitate a comparison.
As part of a strategic review of the Care segment at the end of the 2023 fiscal year, the management decided to discontinue these business activities and sell off this segment. Accordingly, the majority of the Care segment is presented as a discontinued operation. After a contract regarding six properties was concluded in mid-April of the fiscal year, the sale of a further tranche comprising 27 care homes was agreed in early October 2024. The transaction is expected to be closed at the start of 2025. A small part of the original Care segment ( 25 properties operated by third parties) was transferred to the Rental segment and generated $€ 17.3$ million in segment revenue in the first nine months of 2024 (9M 2023: € 17.7 million). In detail, Adjusted EBT developed as follows in the reporting period:

As of September 30, 2024, Vonovia employed 12,010 people (September 30, 2023: 11,937).
As of the end of the third quarter of 2024, Vonovia managed a portfolio comprising 541,619 of its own residential units (end of the third quarter of 2023: 547,998), 163,045 garages and parking spaces (end of the third quarter of 2023: 165,123)
and 8,431 commercial units (end of the third quarter of 2023; 8,737). Vonovia also managed 73,358 residential units (end of the third quarter of 2023; 70,681) on behalf of third parties as of the end of the third quarter of 2024.
At the end of September 2024, the portfolio in the Rental segment had a vacancy rate of $2.1 \%$ (end of September 2023: $2.1 \%$ ), meaning that it was again nearly fully occupied.
In the first nine months of 2024, revenue in the Rental segment increased by $2.2 \%$ (9M 2023: $2.0 \%$ ) to $€ 2,481.8$ million (9M 2023: $€ 2,429.3$ million). Of the segment revenue in the Rental segment in the 2024 reporting period, $€ 2,120.5$ million is attributable to rental income in Germany (9M 2023: $€ 2,085.9$ million), $€ 270.2$ million to rental income in Sweden (9M 2023: $€ 255.2$ million) and $€ 91.1$ million to rental income in Austria (9M 2023: $€ 88.2$ million). Organic rent growth (twelve-month rolling) totaled $3.8 \%$ ( $3.8 \%$ as of September 30, 2023). The current rent increase due to market-related factors came to $2.2 \%$ ( $2.0 \%$ as of September 30, 2023), while the increase from property value improvements translated into a further $1.3 \%$ ( $1.1 \%$ as of September 30, 2023). All in all, this produced a like-for-like rent
increase of $3.5 \%$ ( $3.1 \%$ as of September 30, 2023). New construction and vertical expansion measures also contributed $0.3 \%$ ( $0.7 \%$ as of September 30, 2023) to organic rent growth.
The average monthly in-place rent in the residential portfolio in the Rental segment came to $€ 7.94$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ at the end of September 2024 as against $€ 7.67$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ at the end of September 2023. The monthly in-place rent in the German portfolio at the end of September 2024 came to $€ 7.81$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ (September 30, 2023: $€ 7.58$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ ), with a figure of $€ 10.59$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ (September 30, 2023: $€ 9.78$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ ) for the Swedish portfolio and $€ 5.69$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ for the Austrian portfolio (September, 2023: $€ 5.42$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ ). The rental income from the portfolio in Sweden reflects all-inclusive rents, meaning that the amounts contain operating, heating and water supply costs. Moreover, the rental income from the Austrian real estate portfolio includes maintenance and improvement contributions (EVB).
We have adapted our modernization, new construction and maintenance strategy to reflect the current overall financial conditions in the 2024 fiscal year. The overview below provides details on maintenance, modernization and new construction.
Maintenance, Modernization and New Construction
| in € million | 9M 2023* | 9M 2024 | Change in \% | 12M 2023* |

Operating expenses in the Rental segment in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to $€-335.1$ million and were thus up by $11.8 \%$ on the figure for the first nine months of 2023 of $€-299.6$ million.
All in all, the Adjusted EBITDA Rental came to $€ 1,801.9$ million in the first nine months of 2024, down slightly, namely by $-0.9 \%$, on the prior-year value of $€ 1,818.6$ million.
In the first nine months of 2024, the Value-add segment was hit by the general price increases for construction services and materials, as well as productivity losses due to smallerscale investments. Modernization and continuous investments in the existing portfolio showed positive development. They were up by $8.4 \%$ year-on-year in the first nine months of 2024, also thanks to our increased investment in new photovoltaic facilities and heat pumps. In the multimedia
business, the conclusion of an agreement to lease the existing coax network had an earnings effect of $€ 62.4$ million in the first nine months of 2024.
All in all, revenue from the Value-add segment came to $€ 1,009.7$ million in the 2024 reporting period, up by $11.6 \%$ on the value of $€ 904.7$ million seen in the first nine months of 2023. External revenue from our Value-add activities with our end customers in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to $€ 149.1$ million and had thus increased by $57.1 \%$ on the first nine months of 2023, for which the figure was $€ 94.9$ million. This is largely due to a positive effect in multimedia from the leasing of coax networks, which will not be reflected to the same extent next year.

The Group's total assets declined by $€ 965.9$ million, from $€ 91,995.9$ million as of December 31, 2023 to $€ 91,030.0$ million.
The key trend in the non-current assets item is the $€ 2,647.9$ million decrease in investment properties, which was due in particular to the reclassification of a portfolio of around 4,500 residential units in Berlin to current assets, assets held for sale, and to the negative result from remeasurement in the amount of $€-1,426.3$ million. Capitalized modernization costs and additions, in particular, had the opposite effect.
The transactions with Apollo Capital Management L.P. relating to the disposal of shares in the Südewo portfolio of residential properties in Baden-Württemberg and a portfolio in northern Germany in the 2023 fiscal year gave rise to call options on these shares. These were recognized directly in equity as an asset in the 2023 fiscal year. These options were remeasured on September 30, 2024, resulting in a valuation of $€ 883.0$ million. The adjustment in the amount of $€ 45.0$ million was recognized affecting net income.
Within current assets, the reclassification to assets held for sale referred to above, in particular, resulted in this item increasing by $€ 1,291.5$ million. Other changes in current assets were associated with the drop in trade receivables ( $€-386.0$ million), as well as with the increase in real estate inventories ( $€ 170.4$ million) and cash and cash equivalents ( $€ 730.2$ million).
On September 30, 2024, goodwill comprised 1.5\% of total assets (December 31, 2023: 1.5\%).
As of September 30, 2024, the gross asset value (GAV) of Vonovia's property assets came to $€ 83,255.3$ million. This corresponds to $91.5 \%$ of total assets, compared to $€ 84,545.1$ million or $91.9 \%$ at the end of 2023.
Total equity fell by $€ 1,338.8$ million from $€ 29,944.6$ million to $€ 28,605.8$ million, due in particular to the profit for the period of $€-592.1$ million and the dividend distribution. The other comprehensive income of $€-43.5$ million was influenced to a significant degree by currency effects amounting to $€-80.0$ million.
The equity ratio stood at $31.4 \%$ as of September 30, 2024, compared with $32.5 \%$ at the end of 2023.
Liabilities rose by $€ 372.9$ million from $€ 62,051.3$ million to $€ 62,424.2$ million.

Current non-derivative financial liabilities increased by $€ 1,072.1$ million, from $€ 3,260.6$ million to $€ 4,332.7$ million.
Deferred tax liabilities fell by $€ 336.1$ million from $€ 15,713.2$ million to $€ 15,377.1$ million.
Vonovia's net asset value figures are based on the best practice recommendations of the EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association). At the end of the third quarter of 2024, the EPRA NTA came to $€ 36,746.3$ million, down by $-3.7 \%$ on the value of $€ 38,140.9$ million seen at the end of 2023.

Major market developments and valuation parameters that have an impact on the fair values of Vonovia are assessed on an ongoing basis.
The evaluation of the market trend with a view to September 30, 2024, showed a general sideways trend in fair values for Vonovia's real estate portfolios in the third quarter. The fair values recalculated at the end of the first half of the year have been adjusted to reflect the investments made up to September 30, 2024.
In addition, buildings under construction (New construction/ Development to hold) were completed during the ninemonth period. A fair value measurement is performed for the first time when the properties are completed. This resulted in a valuation effect of $€ 8.3$ million for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2024 (9M 2023: € 12.6 million).
A complete remeasurement of the entire portfolio, taking into account the updated portfolio data, market developments and in particular the discounting and capitalized interest rates, will be performed again for the annual financial statements.
The recognition and valuation of investment properties are explained in detail in the consolidated financial statements for 2023.

Non-fulfillment of the agreed financial covenants may have a negative effect on Vonovia's liquidity status. The financial covenants have been fulfilled as of the reporting date.
The forecast was based on the accounting principles used in the consolidated financial statements, with the adjustments described elsewhere in the management report being made. The forecast does not take account of any larger acquisitions of real estate portfolios.
Our forecast for the 2024 fiscal year is based on determined and updated corporate planning for the Vonovia Group as a whole, and considers current business developments as well as possible opportunities and risks. It also includes the key overall macroeconomic developments and the economic factors that are relevant to the real estate industry and our corporate strategy. Further information is provided in the sections of the 2023 Annual Report entitled $\rightarrow$ Development of the Economy and the Industry and $\rightarrow$ Fundamental Information About the Group. Beyond this, the Group's further development remains exposed to general opportunities and risks (see $\rightarrow$ Opportunities and Risks).
Compared to the opportunities and risks set out in the interim report for H1 2024, the following changes in the assessment of the overall risk position had arisen at the end of the third quarter of 2024: The overall number of risks has decreased from 118 in H1 2024 to 116 at the end of the third quarter. This reflects the fact that four green, non-significant risks are no longer applicable, while two new green, nonsignificant risks have been added. The number of significant amber risks fell to nine. The "Material impact of legal disputes" risk, which was previously classified as amber, has been reduced, in terms of the amount of loss, due to the recognition in the balance sheet of the risk associated with legal disputes with a social insurance provider in the amount of $€ 140.0$ million (with a maximum risk of $€ 240.0$ million), and is now classified as a green risk. In addition, the loss amount for the risk of "Higher refinancing costs due to changes in risk profile" was increased from $€ 180-450$ million to $€ 450-900$ million, with the probability of occurrence remaining unchanged at $5-39 \%$. This is mainly attributable to an increased margin in a scenario of higher refinancing costs.
We expect the price increases on the construction and commodity markets, in particular, to continue to have a moderate impact on Vonovia and our customers. While these will have a direct impact on ancillary expenses, they will also have an indirect effect on all areas of the economy due to general price increases. We also expect prices for construction materials to remain high, which will affect our construction projects as well. Continued high interest rates and inflation are leading to increased volatility on the equity and debt capital markets. We therefore assess the overall economic situation and developments on an ongoing basis, particularly with regard to the return requirements for investment and divestment decisions.
The EBITDA contribution for our core Rental business is expected to more or less match the previous year's level. In a year-on-year comparison, organic rent increases and associated higher rental income will be offset by higher rent losses from sales resulting in a smaller portfolio. For the Value-add segment, we anticipate a very strong increase in adjusted EBITDA in 2024, mainly driven by the ramp-up of our investment activities and a positive effect from the leasing of coax networks, which will not be reflected to the same extent next year. We also predict a strong increase in the EBITDA contribution provided by our Development segment based on an increased level of demand for new condominiums. Due to the prioritization of liquidity over profitability in the sale of existing apartments, we expect adjusted EBITDA for the Recurring Sales segment to be moderately below the previous year's level. At Group level, for 2024 we therefore expect to see an Adjusted EBITDA Total that is slightly higher than in the previous year.
The rise in interest rates over the last two years is resulting in a marked increase in borrowing costs and the associated negative adjusted net financial result. Based on stable depreciation and amortization, we therefore expect Adjusted EBT to be slightly below the previous year's level.
Due in particular to heavier investment in our existing portfolio, we expect our investment activity to increase in 2024. In addition, we expect the value of our company to
increase further and, as a result, predict a slight increase in EPRA NTA per share, before taking into consideration any further market-related changes in property values.
The values for the individual weighted targets for the 2024 fiscal year produce a forecast of $100 \%$ for the Sustainability Performance Index.

In order to boost the level of transparency in the presentation of our portfolio, we also break our portfolio down into $1 / 2$ regional markets. These markets are core towns/cities and their surroundings, the majority of which are urban areas.
Our decision to focus on the regional markets that are particularly relevant to Vonovia is our way of looking ahead to the future and provides an overview of our strategic core portfolio in Germany.
