ADLER Real Estate AG outperforms its own expectations with 2015 results - Annual report for 2015 published



- Increase in EBITDA for 2015 to EUR95.6m (previous year: EUR27.2m) shows increased performance in its operating business

- EPRA NAV per share for 2015 at EUR15.51 (previous year: EUR11.02)

- Weighted Average Cost of Debt (WACD) continues to decline

Hamburg, 7 April 2016. During the year fiscal 2015, ADLER Real Estate AG, Frankfurt/M. (ISIN DE0005008007) significantly profitted from the significant acquisitions it carried out during the year and outperformed its own expectations on year end results. Revenues from property lettings increased to EUR216.6m (previous year EUR83.9m) and were therefore slightly higher than the EUR210m that had originally been expected. Profit from property disposals grew by almost ten times to EUR23.5 m (previous year: EUR2.31m). The consolidation of a residential property portfolio at the end of January 2015 and the takeover of Westgrund AG, Berlin, in the middle of last year, had a particular impact on year end results. "With these results we have not only achieved the set targets for 2015, but also outperformed them slightly" said Arndt Krienen, member of the Management Board of ADLER Real Estate AG. In particular, the operating profit has had a much better trend than what had been projected. FFO I (Funds from Operations) for instance, increased to EUR16.1m (previous year: minus EUR1.1m), following the guidance of EUR14m which had originally been set during the previous year. Operating profit including property trading/disposals (FFO II) also rose significantly in 2015 to EUR44.3m (2014: EUR2.4m) meeting FFO II targets of EUR43.0m as well.

As at the end of 2015, the group's balance sheet had more than doubled to EUR3.076bn (end of 2014: EUR1.416bn) reflecting the significant growth of ADLER. Furthermore, the Group's equity more than doubled to EUR777.9m (end of the previous year EUR311.2m). Alongside the total profit for 2015, the increase can be attributed to the raising of non-cash capital carried out in connection with the takeover of Westgrund and to the mandatory convertible which due to its structure and Terms & Conditions is equity, issued in connection with the indirect acquisition of a stake in conwert. The equity ratio also increased to 25.3 per cent (previous year: 21.9 per cent). Loan-to-value (LTV) continued to improve as per the end of 2015 to c.68 per cent (end of 2014: 68.7 per cent) and the average cost of debt for the group (WACD) fell to 3.99 per cent (end of 2014: 4.7 per cent).

EPRA NAV grew by EUR528.2m and more than doubled to EUR879.5m. The group's EPRA NAV per share rose from EUR11.02 to EUR15.51 and the diluted EPRA NAV per share from EUR9.38 to EUR14.05.

The the average occupancy across the portfolio rose by 1.6 percent to 88.8 percent at the end of the reporting year, (previous year 87.2 percent) and the Group's property portfolio also more than doubled increasing from 24,086 units to approx 50,000 units at the end of 2015. Consolidated earnings for ADLER were affected by a lower fair value adjustments of the Group's investment properties. The earnings from fair-value assessment for the previous business year amounted to EUR58.9m compared to EUR132.9m in the previous year, when ADLER succeeded in taking over a large number of undervalued residential property portfolios. Although the result from the fair-value adjustment when compared to the previous year, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of EUR176.6m were EUR6m above the previous year's figure (EUR170.4m) showing the Group's increased operating performance.

Adjusted for the one off effects from fair-value assessments as well as adjustments to take into account other special effects such as revenues from the negative difference from first-time consolidation of the housing company acquired in Wilhelmshaven, ADLER 's adjusted EBITDA has rose significantly from EUR27.2m in 2014 to EUR95.6m in 2015. This confirms the considerable advance in operating profit for ADLER. A further effect from the rise in proceeds was an increase in cash flow from current business operations to EUR24.97m compared to EUR16.75m for the previous year.

"During the current year, we assume that proceeds from property lettings will continue to rise and that once again will publish strong result as the acquisitions carried out during 2015 will take full effect for the first time in 2016," Arndt Krienen went on to point out. "Rental income should also improve thus leading to a further increase in our overall business results."

Further information on the consolidated financial statement can be found in the annual report of ADLER Real Estate AG for the 2015 business year, which is published on the ADLER website www.adler-ag.com).
