Dear Shareholders, dear Readers,

A challenging economic environment continues to define the commercial real estate market in the third quarter. With the outlook for interest rate development still uncertain, the transaction market is weak and deals are at historically low levels. Increased financing costs make pricing difficult for market players and are leading to continued price pressure.

In view of the difficult economic situation in many sectors, the rental market is characterised by a strong reluctance to lease new space. The rent level, on the other hand, seems to remain largely stable. A positive factor for lessors is the signifi­ cant decline in developer activity for new office and retail space, which has led to many lessees being willing to renew their leases.

In this market environment, DEMIRE continues to generate solid results in line with expectations. Rental income for the first nine months of 2023 remains stable at EUR 59.9 million compared to the previous period. At the same time, funds from operations I after taxes (FFO I) have fallen by 9.8% to EUR 27.8 million, mainly due to lower rental income and higher income taxes.

For the refinancing, we had planned to create additional liquidity from summer 2022. At the end of the third quarter, DEMIRE had a significantly improved cash position of EUR 132 million (plus EUR 75 million since the end of 2022). In addition to the operational business, sales contributed significantly to the creation of additional li- quidity.

In recent weeks, the dialogue with bondholders, which has been ongoing since the issue of the 2019/2024 bond, has intensified in order to find a viable solution for refinancing the bond maturing in October 2024 in the coming months.

Furthermore, we would like to draw your attention to our progress in terms of sustainability. Our sustainability report this year was awarded gold for the first time by the EPRA European Public Real Estate Association, after being awarded silver the previous year. We see this as recognition for the improvements we have achieved and as an incentive to continue on our path towards becoming a sustainable real estate company.

After the first nine months, the Executive Board can confirm the forecast for the 2023 financial year: rental income will be between EUR 74.5 million and EUR 76.5 million (2022: EUR 81.1 million), and FFO I (after taxes, before minority interests) is expected to be between EUR 33.0 million and EUR 35.0 million (2022: EUR 41.8 million).

We hope you find this report an interesting read and look forward to your comments and ideas.

OVERVIEW

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

DEMIRE's business developed robustly in the first nine months of 2023. In the reporting period, the insolvency of Karstadt in particular had a negative impact on the vacancy rate and the like-for-like development of the annualised contractual rent. The financial result, on the other hand, was positive. Positive contributions were generated here as a result of the below-par bond buyback and lower financial expenses. Funds from operations declined moderately, partly due to a slightly lower result from rentals and, as in the previous quarter, higher income taxes. Due to the weak rental market and fewer expiring leases in the property portfolio in 2023 and 2024, the letting performance will also be significantly lower, especially compared to the record result of the previous year. Nevertheless, despite the property sales and against the backdrop of the weak economic environment, the Group's key figures are solid overall and in line with the Company's planning and expectations.

In view of the maturity of the 2019/2024 bond in October 2024 with a nominal value of EUR 499.0 million as at the reporting date, the Executive Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, is still pursuing the goal of increasing the liquidity reserve. Liquidity showed further improvement at the end of the third quarter.

DEMIRE's key indicators developed as follows in the first nine months of 2023:

  • Rental income remained stable at EUR 59.9 million (previous year: EUR 59.9 million).
  • Profit from rental income amounted to EUR 45.3 million, compared to EUR 47.7 million in the same period of the previous year.
  • Funds from operations (FFO I, after taxes, before minority interests) decreased by 9.8% to EUR 27.8 million.
  • At around 27,240 m², the letting performance is significantly lower than the record figure of 194,840 m² achieved in the same period last year.
  • The like-for-like development in annualised contractual rents was -1.1% compared to 30 September 2022. The slight decline is due to the increased
    vacancies­ in Celle as a result of the Karstadt insolvency. The indexation of
    existing­ leases, which without Celle would have led to positive growth in
    contractual­ rents, continued to have a counteracting effect.
  • The EPRA Vacancy Rate1 rose to 12.6% (31 December 2022: 9.5%),
    and WALT fell slightly to 4.4 years (31 December 2022: 4.8 years).
  • The NAV per share (undiluted) decreased, mainly due to the revaluation of properties in the middle of the year, to EUR 4.38 compared to EUR 4.99 at the end of 2022.
  • The net loan-to-value ratio2 (net LTV) remained unchanged from the previous quarter at 52.9% (31 December 2022: 54%); liquidity as at the reporting date increased to EUR 132.3 million (30 June 2023: EUR 123.4 million, 31 December 2022: EUR 57.4 million).
  • The average nominal financing costs were 1.74% p.a.; there are no significant maturities until mid-2024.

PERFORMANCE IN LINE WITH FORECAST FOR 2023 FINANCIAL YEAR

Given the development in the first nine months of 2023, the Executive Board confirms the forecast for the 2023 financial year: rental income will be between EUR 74.5 million and EUR 76.5 million (2022: EUR 81.1 million), and FFO I (after taxes, before minority interests) is expected to be between EUR 33.0 million and EUR 35.0 million (2022: EUR 41.8 million).

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

Between the end of the previous year and the reporting date, the property portfolio decreased to 60 properties (31 December 2022: 62 properties). The lettable area of the buildings in the portfolio is around 861,200 m² (31 December 2022: 912,700 m²) and the total market value is approximately EUR 1.2 billion (31 December 2022: approximately EUR 1.3 billion). The last external property valuation of the portfolio, excluding the properties held for sale, was carried out on 30 June 2023.

The EPRA Vacancy Rate1 increased to 12.6% as at the reporting date of 30 Septem- ber 2023, following 9.5% on 31 December 2022. The increase is mainly due to the additional vacancy of the Karstadt space in Celle, the office property in Düsseldorf and the property in Kassel. WALT was 4.4 years as at 30 September 2023, compared to 4.8 years as at year-end 2022. In the period under review, DEMIRE achieved a rental performance of 27,240 m² (9M 2022: 198,840 m²). As well as the weak market situation, the significant decline is due to fewer leases expiring in the property portfolio in 2023 and 2024. 41% of the letting performance was attributable to new lettings and 59% to prolongations. The rental performance was driven, inter alia, by a new lease spanning 3,200 m² in Langenfeld as well as an extension in Darmstadt spanning 4,720 m² and two extensions of around 2,500 m² each in Flensburg and Aschheim.
