Glossar

Diluted EPS per share

We took all outstanding warrants into account when calculating diluted earnings per share. There are further dilutive effects due to the hybrid convertible, hybrid warrant and mandatory convertible bonds issued.

EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV)

Represents the shareholders’ value under a disposal scenario, where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax.

EPRA Net Initial Yield

Annualized rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, increased with estimated purchasers’ costs.

EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV)

Assumes that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity.

EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA)

Assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallizing certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.

EPRA Topped Up Net Initial Yield

This measure incorporates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY with respect to the expiration of rent-free periods (or other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents).

EPRA Vacancy Rate

Estimated Market Rental Value (ERV) of vacant space divided by ERV of the whole portfolio.

Funds from Operations – FFO I und II

We calculate Funds From Operations (FFO I and II) on hybrid equity, based on operating cash flows and results including interest. Funds From Operations II includes realised results from the sale of investment properties.

Gross return

The gross return corresponds to the target rental income from letting less lost income due to vacancies in rela- tion to the average value of the portfolio.

Hybrid capital

Hybrid capital comprises financing instruments with no repayment obligation. The obligation to pay interest  arises for the hybrid warrant and hybrid convertible bond only if dividends are distributed to shareholders for the corresponding period. Interest payments are reported in equity as “distributions” to hybrid equity investors. Transaction costs are presented as a deduction from hybrid bonds. In the event of repayment or conversion, we reclassify the (pro rata) costs to retained earnings.

The option right is reported under “Other reserves“. When the options are exercised, they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis to hybrid capital.

The mandatory convertible bond includes financial instruments with a fixed defined conversion date and price in registered shares of Peach. The interest to be paid is charged to the consolidated statement of income.

Investment properties

Our investment properties are residential and commercial properties that we either construct ourselves or acquire and which are held to earn long-term rental income and achieve capital appreciation and which we do not use ourselves. Investment properties also include properties that we develop or convert with the goal of renting them out later.

Market value investment properties

The market value of our investment properties is determined semi-annually by the external property appraiser Wüest Partner using the “highest and best use” concept based on the discounted cash flow method (DCF method). With this method, all expected future net income is discounted to its present value. Net income is discounted individually for each contiguous property cluster in line with market conditions and on a risk-adjusted basis, commensurate with the respective local and structural opportunities and risks.

The performance of the properties depends on various factors such as the local real estate market (rents, vacancies), changes in the capital markets (discount rate), management (renewal of rental income, vacancies, operating and maintenance costs) and value-enhancing investments (higher rental income, positive impact on vacancies).

The key input factors and assumptions used by Wüest Partner are reviewed by our Investment Management team and the CFO and discussed in detail with the independent appraiser.

Net return

The net return corresponds to the target rental income from letting less lost income due to vacancies, administrative and maintenance costs in relation to the average value of the portfolio.

Operating Results I and II

We calculate operating results I and II (Funds from Operation – FFO I and II) based on operating cash flows and results including interest on hybrid capital. FFO II includes the result from the disposal of investment properties.

Revaluation result

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent measurement is at market value; value adjustments are recognized through profit or loss.

Vacancy

The vacancy rate corresponds to the number of vacant residential units at the end of the reporting year in rela- tion to the total residential units.
