TLG IMMOBILIEN increases its FFO by around 50% and rental income by around 40%

- Significant rental income growth of 40.1% compared to the previous year, reaching EUR 55.0 m

- Funds from operations increased by 49.8% to EUR 31.6 m in the first quarter of 2018 and by 6.9% to EUR 0.31 per share compared to the first quarter of 2017

- EPRA Net Asset Value of EUR 22.09 per share as at 31 March 2018

Berlin, 15 May 2018 - TLG IMMOBILIEN has made a successful start to the new year. The report on the first quarter of 2018 published today announces rental income of around EUR 55.0 m. Compared to the same period in the previous year, this represents growth of 40.1% (Q1 2017: EUR 39.2 m). The funds from operations (FFO), a key indicator for the Group, increased disproportionately by 49.8% to EUR 31.6 m (Q1 2017: EUR 21.1 m), due primarily to the higher net operating income from letting activities resulting from the acquisition of properties and the takeover of WCM. The FFO per share was EUR 0.31 as at the reporting date (Q1 2017: EUR 0.29) and therefore higher than in the same period in 2017 despite the increased number of shares resulting from the cash capital increases in 2017 as well as the capital increase as part of the takeover of WCM.

Compared to end 2017, the EPRA Vacancy Rate of the portfolio as a whole increased slightly by 0.2 percentage points to just 3.8%. The weighted average lease term (WALT) of the rental agreements in the TLG IMMOBILIEN portfolio was 6.1 years as at 31 March 2018 and therefore 0.2 years lower than on 31 December 2017. The EPRA Net Asset Value (EPRA NAV) increased in the first quarter of 2018. As at 31 March 2018, it was EUR 22.09 per share (31/12/2017: EUR 21.84).

As at the reporting date, the financing structure of TLG IMMOBILIEN had a net LTV of 39.6% (31/12/2017: 39.2%). The company's average cash costs of debt were 1.83%. As at 31 March 2018, the interest-bearing liabilities had an average weighted maturity of 6.1 years.

In the first quarter of 2018, the value of the property portfolio increased by 2.2% to EUR 3,477 m, due essentially to the addition of two office properties in Mannheim and Eschborn as well as a neighbourhood shopping centre in Rostock worth EUR 80.7 m in the first quarter. Additionally, the office property "Office 3001" in the Altona district of Hamburg was acquired recently, with Reemtsma Cigarettenfabrik GmbH as the anchor tenant. The transfer of benefits and encumbrances is scheduled to take place in July 2018 (details here).

"Once again, we can report a successful start to the year: our FFO increased by EUR 21.1 m compared to the previous year and are now EUR 31.6 m, the value of the property portfolio has increased by around EUR 76.0 m due to new properties and at 39.6%, the net LTV remains solid. At the same time, we have enough resources to continue expanding our portfolio in the future", says Peter Finkbeiner, member of the Management Board of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG.

"With the addition of the three properties in Mannheim, Eschborn and Rostock to the portfolio and the recently announced acquisition of an office property in Hamburg, we will be able to continue successfully expanding our portfolio in line with our investment strategy", says Niclas Karoff, member of the Management Board of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG.
