Berlin, 10 August 2016 - The figures published today for the first half of 2016 confirm that TLG IMMOBILIEN AG is on track for a successful year. The Group generated rental income of around EUR 67.6 m in the reporting period, which is 10.7% higher than in the first half of 2015 (EUR 61.1 m). The funds from operations (FFO) increased 23.6% to EUR 38.3 m (H1/2015: EUR 31.0 m).

The EPRA Vacancy Rate fell by 0.6 pp to 3.1% in the first half of the year. The weighted average lease term (WALT) of the rental agreements in the TLG IMMOBILIEN AG portfolio remained unchanged at 6.5 years as at 30 June 2016. The EPRA Net Asset Value (EPRA NAV) was EUR 1.169 bn or EUR 17.33 per share on the same date, taking into account the dividend of EUR 0.72 per share distributed on 1 June 2016.

The financing structure of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG remains conservative. The Net Loan to Value ratio (Net LTV) was 40.5% on the reporting date (31 December 2015: 33.6%) and the average cash costs of debt of the company were 2.70%. The existing loans had an average remaining term of 4.8 years as at 30 June 2016. The company is currently able to arrange new long-term finance at a rate that is far below 2%.

As at the reporting date on 30 June 2016, the portfolio of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG comprised a total of 413 properties (31 December 2015: 418) with a total value of around EUR 1.983 bn according to IFRS (31 December 2015: EUR 1.766 bn). This means that property values increased by 12.3% in the first half of 2016. This is essentially the result of strategic acquisitions; the office properties "Erlenhöfe" in Berlin and "Technisches Rathaus" in Leipzig were added to the portfolio in the second quarter with a total investment volume of around EUR 107.8 m.

"The results of the second quarter underline the success of our business strategy once more. We assume that we will reach the portfolio value of EUR 2 bn originally forecast for 2017 this year. Furthermore, the general approval of resolutions by our annual general meeting at the end of May strongly reflects the support and confidence of our shareholders in our growth strategy", says Peter Finkbeiner, member of the Management Board of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG.

In light of the consistently successful course of business of the company, the Management Board of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG has revised the FFO forecast for 2016 as a whole upwards to between EUR 74 m and EUR 76 m.
