BUSINESS MODEL (2)

Diversification towards property management and service business

  • Besides keeping its market leadership in housing privatisation, ACCENTRO is developing into a residential investor, landlord and service provider
  • Planning further expansion of the real estate portfolio and leveraging the value through dedicated property management
  • With last year's acquisition of ~3,500 units the portfolio already more than doubled to ~5,000 units
  • A growing portfolio will not only increase rental income but also provide ACCENTRO with even more flexibility doing block or individual sales
  • Besides maintaining its strong footprint in Berlin, the company will continue to grow its portfolio in attractive metro regions in Germany
  • The recent acquisition of DIM Holding AG ("Deutsche Immobilien Management"), one of Germany's leading property managers with EUR 2.8bn AuM, has significantly strengthened ACCENTRO's property management
  • Ongoing expansion of the service business by leveraging the existing service offer to real estate companies through the growing customer base and sophisticated property management of DIM

The diversification of the business model, in terms of content and region, will further improve the risk return profile of ACCENTRO

OUTLOOK

Structural growth market

The short supply and scarcity in the housing sector is reflected in growing demand for residential real estate

Market

Significant housing shortage and structural demand is causing rising rent and price levels in the target markets

environment

The low homeownership rate of 45% in Germany, among the lowest in Europe, offers a significant revenue potential

for ACCENTRO given the EUR c.30bn private transaction market

Strong privatisation business in Q4/2020 (condo sales reaching record level, 280 units sold to institutional investors)

Outlook

Outlook for FY 2020: slight increase in revenues, EBIT at previous year level

Inventory properties with significant revenue potential of around EUR 700m over next years

Notes

  • 9M 2020 results extraordinarily burdened by EUR 6.5m one-off effects mainly related to bond issue and change of management board
  • Operating interim result of EUR 16.9m is a little bit lower as in the comparable period due to temporarily lower sales margins
  • Gross margin from sales fell to 21.9% due to higher share of sales via cooperation partners and higher one-time marketing costs
  • Increase of total payroll and benefit costs is driven by staff growth and change of the management board
  • Increase of net interest expenses include one-off effects from the repayment of the old bond in the amount of EUR 4.1m

DISCLAIMER

This document is not a securities prospectus, and the information contained therein does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities of ACCENTRO in the Federal Republic of Germany or in any other country, specifically not if such an offer or solicitation is prohibited or not approved.

This document was prepared exclusively by ACCENTRO Real Estate AG "ACCENTRO") solely for informational purposes and has not been independently verified and no representation or warranty, express or

implied, is made or given by or on behalf of ACCENTRO. Nothing in this document is, or should be relied upon as, a promise or representation as to the future.

This document contains forward-looking statements based on current estimates and assumptions made by the senior management of ACCENTRO. Forward-looking statements are characterised by the use of words such as "expect," "intend," "plan," "predict," "assume," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate" and similar forward-looking phrases. Such statements are not to be understood as guarantee that predictions of this sort will prove to be correct. In particular, any statements on acquisitions presuppose the actual signing of the necessary contracts or the successful procurement of the necessary equity and debt capital. The future development and actual results achieved by ACCENTRO and its affiliates are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and may therefore differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond ACCENTRO's control and cannot be accurately appraised in advance, including the future economic environment or the actions of competitors and other market players. ACCENTRO does not intend to update its forward-looking statements. Neither ACCENTRO nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, or any other person is under any obligation to update or revise any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak of the date of this document. Statements contained in this document regarding past trends or events should not be taken as a representation that such trends or events will continue in the future. No obligation is assumed to update any forward-looking statements.

This document contains certain financial measures (including forward-looking measures) that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered "non-IFRS financial measures". Such non-IFRS financial measures used by ACCENTRO are presented to enhance an understanding of ACCENTRO's results of operations, financial position or cash flows calculated in accordance with IFRS, but not to replace such financial information. A number of these non-IFRS financial measures are also commonly used by securities analysts, credit rating agencies and investors to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of other companies with which ACCENTRO competes. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a measure of ACCENTRO's profitability or liquidity, and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income and the other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS. In particular, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures, including the limitations inherent in determination of each of the relevant adjustments. The non-IFRS financial measures used by ACCENTRO may differ from, and not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Certain numerical data, financial information and market data (including percentages) in this document have been rounded according to established commercial standards. Furthermore, in tables and charts, these rounded figures may not add up exactly to the totals contained in the respective tables and charts.

Accordingly, neither ACCENTRO nor any of its directors, officers, employees or advisors, nor any other person makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to, and accordingly no reliance should be placed on, the fairness, accuracy or completeness of the information contained in the document or of the views given or implied. Neither ACCENTRO nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees or advisors nor any other person shall have any liability whatsoever for any errors or omissions or any loss howsoever arising, directly or indirectly, from any use of this information or its contents or otherwise arising in connection there-with. It should be noted that certain financial information relating to ACCENTRO contained in this document has not been audited and in some cases is based on management information and estimates.
