Bochum, November 6, 2013 - Deutsche Annington Immobilien SE ('DA'),
Germany's largest private-sector residential real estate company both in
terms of portfolio value and number of housing units owned, demonstrates
its financial and operational strength in the third quarter of 2013.
'Our top priority is to become better every day by increasing value
provided to our customers, we continuously improve our result. The results
of the third quarter confirm that this strategy is right', says Rolf Buch,
CEO of Deutsche Annington.
With improving key performance indicators, Deutsche Annington continue the
success of the first half-year in the third quarter. Both adjusted EBITDA
and FFO 1 (result excluding sales), metrics indicating the company's
operational performance, were above the level of the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA totalled EUR 363.1 million, an increase of 3% compared with
the prior-year figure. FFO 1 rose by 41.2% to EUR 163.4 million.
Deutsche Annington increased the monthly in-place rent by 2.1% from EUR
5.26/m2 (September 30, 2012) to EUR 5.37/m2 (September 30, 2013). The
vacancy rate in the entire portfolio fell by 0.5 percentage points to 3.9%;
in the Rental Only portfolio, it was reduced to 3.1%.
Successful IPO
Two important financial events occurred in the third quarter; the IPO and
the issue of corporate bonds. Deutsche Annington Immobilien SE was listed
on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on
July 11, 2013. Since then, the share price has developed positively, market
capitalisation amounted to EUR 4.3 billion on the reporting date September
30, 2013.
The IPO also enables the company to profit from greater flexibility in its
financing structure. 'The IPO in conjunction with our investment grade
rating has put us in a position to obtain unsecured refinancing on the
international capital market on attractive conditions', says Dr A. Stefan
Kirsten, CFO of Deutsche Annington.
Portfolio strategy is being actively implemented
The number of apartments sold is at the prior-year level. However, sales of
units in the Non-Core segment are well ahead of plan and the sale of about
4,100 units is forecast this year. The Non-Core portfolio will therefore be
considerably reduced by some 28% of the value of the total property
portfolio.
Deutsche Annington is continually analysing new acquisition possibilities.
The flexible financing structure and the approved capital enable the
company to obtain sound financing, even for larger portfolios of up to EUR
4 billion. 'We will nevertheless continue to maintain our price and
management discipline in future. Despite our considerable earning power, it
is not simply a matter of growth but of whether we can also transfer our
efficient and price-conscious property management to a new portfolio.
Furthermore, potential deals must create value for our shareholders', Buch
says.
Outlook confirmed
In order to further increase the quality of its housing stocks, Deutsche
Annington will continue to systematically invest in its buildings,
apartments and the neighbourhoods. More than EUR 800 million additional
investment opportunities over next five years have been identified.
Preparations for the 2014 investment programme have been successfully
completed. The investment volume is EUR 150 million. 'Since the beginning
of the year, we have made substantial investments in our customer service,
caretaker organisation and our housing stocks. In the years to come, we
will also expand energy-efficient modernisations and the senior-friendly
conversion of apartments to increase the quality standard. With all these
measures, we are creating appreciable value added for our tenants', Buch
explains.
As regards the results for the year as a whole, Deutsche Annington confirms
the forecast published at the end of the first half of the year and expects
FFO 1 to be at the upper end of the range of EUR 210 million to EUR 220
million.
The company confirms its forecast that it will distribute a dividend of
some 70% of FFO for the 2013 financial year.
The entire quarterly report is available at www.deutsche-annington.com. A
condensed German version of the presentation of the quarterly figures to
analysts can be downloaded in the press section of the company website.
