Berlin, 9 March 2017 - The financial results for 2016 published today
highlight that TLG IMMOBILIEN AG was able to significantly increase its
funds from operations (FFO) as well as to once more increase its portfolio
value. The portfolio growth is primarily related to acquisitions, which
also include the company's strategic move into the western German market
with the acquisition of two office properties in Frankfurt/Main in October
2016. With a property value of around EUR 2.2 bn as at 31 December 2016
(31/12/2015: EUR 1.8 bn), TLG IMMOBILIEN AG has exceeded the EUR 2 bn
portfolio target, communicated during its IPO in October 2014, one year in
advance.
The FFO totalled EUR 76.9 m in the reporting year, representing an increase
of 20.1% compared to the previous year (EUR 64.0 m). At the same time the
annual FFO forecast, which had already been revised upwards from between
EUR 72 m and EUR 74 m to between EUR 74 m and EUR 76 m in August, was
surpassed.
The significant FFO growth was primarily driven by the steadily increasing
rental income which totalled EUR 140.5 m in 2016. This corresponds to an
increase of 10.3% compared to the previous year (31/12/2015: EUR 127.4 m).
Standing at 3.8% as at 31 December 2016, the EPRA Vacancy Rate of the
portfolio remained low (31/12/2015: 3.7%). The weighted average lease term
(WALT) of the rental agreements in the portfolio of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG was
around 6.1 years as at 31 December 2016 (31/12/2015: 6.5 years). The
successful conclusion of new rental agreements together with the extensions
of existing leases prevented a further WALT decrease. The EPRA Net Asset
Value (EPRA NAV) was approx. EUR 1.3 bn or EUR 18.51 per share as at the
reporting date (31/12/2015: EUR 17.37 per share).
With a Net LTV of 43.4%, the financing structure of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG
remained conservative as at the reporting date. The company's average costs
of debt decreased from 2.79% to just 2.46% over the course of 2016. As at
31 December 2016 the existing loans had an average remaining term of 5.3
years. For over 99% of the company's liabilities, the interest rates are
fixed for the term of the liability by means of fixed-rate agreements or
secured by interest rate hedges.
As at 31 December 2016, the portfolio of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG comprised 404
properties (31/12/2015: 418) with a total property value of approx. EUR 2.2
bn, which represents an increase of 26.9% over the previous year
(31/12/2015: EUR 1.8 bn). In the 2016 financial year the company invested a
total of EUR 442.8 m in the acquisition of 16 properties. The annualised
in-place rent of the acquisitions totalled EUR 25.9 m and will serve as a
key fundament for future growth in earnings. With a total investment volume
of EUR 363.7 m, of which around EUR 167.5 m is attributable to the
acquisition of two office properties in Frankfurt/Main (purchase price EUR
160.0 m), the growth strategy of the company centred on office properties
in the reporting year.
'The key financial and portfolio data for the 2016 financial year show that
TLG IMMOBILIEN AG was able to maintain its highly dynamic growth track
record since the IPO in October 2014 without compromising its financial
stability or the quality of its portfolio. We successfully reached the
target we announced during the IPO to expand our portfolio to a value of
EUR 2 bn by the end of 2017 more than one year in advance. Simultaneously
we considerably increased our FFO once again and broadened our earnings
base through acquisitions. Our shareholders will take part in this
continued growth', says Peter Finkbeiner, member of the Management Board of
TLG IMMOBILIEN AG.
'Our entry into the market in Frankfurt/Main was an important strategic
milestone in 2016. We see potential for future expansion into regions of
Germany in which we do not currently operate. However, we will remain true
to the principles that we consider key factors in our success so far: a
clear focus on properties in attractive locations where we can be in
sufficiently close proximity to our tenants and properties, even in the
long term', adds Niclas Karoff, member of the Management Board of TLG
IMMOBILIEN AG.
In light of the successful performance of the company in 2016 and with the
approval of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board intends to propose
to the general meeting of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG the payment of a dividend of
EUR 0.80 per share for the 2016 financial year, which is 11.0% higher than
in the previous year. The Management Board also expects that the FFO of the
company will increase to between EUR 84 m and EUR 86 m in the 2017
financial year if no further acquisitions are made.
