STRONG OPERATING PERFORMANCE BENEFITTING FROM A STRONGLY DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO
2019 has been another very successful year for Aroundtown. As of February 19, 2020, the merger with TLG Immobilien AG was finalized and completed and Aroundtown owns 78% in TLG.
The cash balance remains to be very strong and further increased to €2.2 billion. As of mid-March 2020, the actual cash balances (including TLG) further increased to €2.8 billion.
The operational performance with an increase in FFO I by 24% was achieved on the back of the strongly performing diversified portfolio with its different economic characteristics with a focus on the strongest economies in Europe, Germany and the Netherlands. Aroundtown remains to have among the highest asset type diversification within the European commercial real estate market which was further strengthened by the merger with TLG. Post merger with TLG, the portfolio's largest asset type is offices which makes up around 47% of Aroundtown's portfolio. The hotel portfolio makes up 24% which have all fixed long-term leases with strong tenants with no dependency on the hotel's operational results. For all its properties, Aroundtown has fixed long term lease structures without any connection to operational profits of its tenants. This also applies to its hotel portfolio which are leased to third party hotel operators at fixed long-term (10 to 25 years) double or triple net leases, fixed plus linked to CPI with no operational dependency on the results of the hotel. The third largest segment with 12% is German residential through Aroundtown's holding in Grand City Properties. Within each asset class Aroundtown focuses on a very high tenant diversification and diversification of the industries that its tenants operate in. Aroundtown (incl TLG) has a strongly diversified tenant structure with over 4,000 tenants, of which the top 10 tenants make up only 20% of the total rental income, and very long lease structures with a long-term WALT of 7.9 years.
