Berlin, 19 November 2015 - ADO Properties S.A., the only Prime Standard listed residential real estate company solely
focused on the city of Berlin, has continued with its growth dynamic in the third quarter of the current financial year.
This is reflected in the figures published today for the first nine months of 2015.
Operational key figures again improved significantly The income from rental activities of ADO Properties increased by
88% year-on-year to EUR 46.7 million in the first nine months of the year (30.9.2014: EUR 24.8 million). This growth was
mainly driven by the integration of the Carlos Portfolio with 5,750 residential units from 1 April 2015. The EBITDA from
rental activities increased by 81% from EUR 18.9 million for the first nine months of 2014 to EUR 34.2 million for the
first nine months of 2015.
The FFO1 (without profit from disposals) in Q3 2015 rose by approximately 125% to EUR 8.5 million in comparison to the
corresponding Q3-period of the previous year (Q3 2014: EUR 3.8 million). This results in an annualized FFO1 of EUR 21.6
million for this year's first nine months respectively EUR 0.79 per share (9 months 2014: EUR 10.9 million respectively
EUR 0.43 per share.
The average in-place rent of the residential portfolio increased to EUR 5.75 per sqm per month at the end of the
reporting period. In comparison, the average rent for new lettings amounted to EUR 7.92 per sqm and month. On a
like-for-like basis that reflected an average annual rental growth of 6.5% as of 30 September 2015. The vacancy rate for
the residential portfolio was reduced by the company from 4.8% as of 31 December 2014 to 4.0 % (3.0% on a like-for-like
basis) as of 30 September 2015.
Further growth of the portfolio by new acquisitions ADO Properties' portfolio was valued at EUR 1.2 billion as of 30
September 2015. It comprises approximately 14,600 units at the end of the reporting period, of which are around 13,850
residential units (31.12.2014: 6,600 units). The acquisition of the Carlos Portfolio with 5,750 residential units in
Spandau and Reinickendorf in April 2015 had the greatest impact on portfolio growth. The Net Asset Value of the
portfolio amounted to EUR 719.0 million or EUR 20.54 per share as of 30 September 2015. After the end of the reporting
period the company acquired further 1,021 residential units and 121 commercial units in Berlin, thus providing further
potential for earnings and growth.
The financial structure of the company remains conservative and solid with an LTV of 41.8% by 30 September 2015. The
average interest rate is at 2.6%. More than 95% of the loans have fixed interest rates or are hedged. The loan maturity
is approximately 5.75 years.
Outlook for 2015 remains positive - FFO forecast confirmed "We can confirm our FFO1 guidance of EUR 30 million for the
financial year 2015", explained Rabin Savion, CEO of ADO Properties. "Including our new acquisitions we are expecting to
close in 2015, we expect an annualized FFO1 run-rate of EUR 39 million. The results of the first nine months show, that
our successful development is based on our stable operative business as well as on the consistent implementation of our
growth strategy. After our IPO we promised further growth of our portfolio and since then we have signed five
acquisitions adding more than 1,200 units to our portfolio which will positively influence our results from next year.
At the same time we also got a significantly higher perception at the capital market. Five analysts are currently
covering ADO Properties with price targets between EUR 24 to EUR 27, and our company became not only member of the FTSE
EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index family but also of the German Stock Exchange's SDAX Index. This is an important
step for many of our investors."
