Berlin, 9 November 2018 - TLG IMMOBILIEN (DE000A12B8Z4) maintained its positive course of business in the first three quarters of 2018. Rental income increased by 41.8% compared to the same period in the previous year and was EUR 166.4 m as at 30 September 2018. The FFO also increased to EUR 100.4 m due to higher net operating income from letting activities, which represents an increase of 43.3% compared to the first three quarters of 2017. The increase in rental income and FFO compared to the same period in the previous year is due predominantly to the higher net operating income from letting activities resulting from the acquisition of additional properties and the takeover of WCM.

Compared to the end of 2017, the EPRA Vacancy Rate remained stable at 3.6%. The WALT, or weighted average lease term for rental agreements, was 5.9 years as at 30 September 2018. Compared to the end of 2017, this represents a decrease of 0.4 years. As at the reporting date, the EPRA Net Asset Value (EPRA NAV) was around EUR 2.4 bn, having increased by 9.3% in the first three quarters. The EPRA NAV per share is EUR 23.58 (31/12/2017: EUR 21.84 per share) and as such has increased by 8.0%.

As at the reporting date, the financing structure of TLG IMMOBILIEN had a slightly lower Net LTV of 39.0% (31/12/2017: 39.2%). As at 30 September 2018, the average cash costs of debt were 1.83%. At the end of the first nine months of 2018, the interest-bearing liabilities had an average weighted maturity of 5.7 years.

The value of the property portfolio increased by 9.5% to around EUR 3.7 bn in the first three quarters of 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 3.4 bn). Besides acquisitions and earnings from active asset management, the increase is essentially due to the positive development of the markets, especially in Berlin, and the associated property valuations.

In light of the successful property acquisitions and the progress with the integration of WCM into the processes and structures of the overall Group, the Management Board of TLG IMMOBILIEN reaffirms the FFO forecast for the 2018 financial year. The FFO is expected to increase to around EUR 133 m.

Gerald Klinck and Jürgen Overath were appointed to the Management Board of TLG IMMOBILIEN on 17 September 2018. Gerald Klinck is the new CFO and Jürgen Overath is the new COO. They have taken over from Peter Finkbeiner and NiIclas Karoff who left the company on 31 October 2018.

"As new members of the Management Board, we have inherited a company in a solid position whose business has developed in line with expectations in the first nine months of 2018", says Gerald Klinck, CFO of TLG IMMOBILIEN. "Looking forward, we will make a few adjustments to our strategic direction, making greater use of the potential in our property portfolio in particular in order to continue expanding the successful development of the company."

Jürgen Overath, COO of TLG IMMOBILIEN, adds: "We want to continue making acquisitions designed to increase value and disposing of non-strategic properties. With regard to our high-quality portfolio in what are currently the core regions of TLG IMMOBILIEN, we see the potential for new development and redevelopment in our portfolio that can also generate sustainable value for the company. Our future objective will now be to actively tap this potential."
