Berlin, 10 August 2018 - Once again, TLG IMMOBILIEN reported a positive course of business in the first half of the 2018 financial year. Rental income increased by 39.6% compared to the same period in the previous year and was EUR 109.6 m as at 30 June 2018. The funds from operations (FFO) increased to EUR 67.6 m due to higher net operating income from letting activities, which represents an increase of 45.4% compared to the first half of 2017. The significant increase in rental income and FFO compared to the same period in the previous year is due primarily to the takeover of WCM and the acquisition of further properties.

Compared to the end of 2017, the EPRA Vacancy Rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 3.4%. The WALT, or weighted average lease term for rental agreements, was 6.0 years as at 30 June 2018. Compared to the end of 2017, this represents a decrease of 0.3 years. As at the reporting date, the EPRA Net Asset Value (EPRA NAV) was around EUR 2.4 bn, having increased by 7.7% in the first half of the year. The EPRA NAV per share is EUR 23.26 (31/12/2017: EUR 21.84 per share).

As at the reporting date, the financing structure of TLG IMMOBILIEN continued to have a solid net LTV of 39.9% (31/12/2017: 39.2%). As at 30 June 2018, the company's average cash costs of debt were 1.83%. As at the end of the first half of 2018, the interest-bearing liabilities had an average weighted maturity of 5.9 years.

The value of the property portfolio increased by 7.8% to around EUR 3,665 m in the first half of 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 3,401 m). Besides acquisitions and the positive effects of asset management, the increase is essentially due to the positive development of the markets, especially in Berlin.

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 has revised the FFO forecast for the 2018 financial year upwards to between EUR 130 m and EUR 133 m.
