Carefully selected accretive acquisitions supported by strong access to capital

AT has cherry picked in 2016 EUR2.2 billion assets in top tier cities in Germany and the Netherlands. The acquisitions contributed to the portfolio diversification and to the quality of the portfolio. As of February 2017, the investment property increased to EUR5.5 billion. The total assets in the end of 2016 amounted to EUR8.1 billion, including investment in equity accounted investees, which is comprising primarily of Grand City Properties. The significant increase in total assets position AT as the largest stock listed commercial real estate company in Germany and well positions the Group to capture economies of scale benefits.

AT succeeded to build a quality portfolio in top tier cities in Germany and the Netherlands such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

The significant external growth was fueled by fruitful capital market activities. AT was the largest European real estate issuer in 2016, raising more than EUR2.5 billion in equity, perpetual notes and straight bonds. Further, AT has achieved good access to the Asian capital market, issuing $450 million with anchor investors.

Closing 2016 with remarkable operational performance, contributing to the asset quality and to the operational top and bottom line

The commercial portfolio EPRA Vacancy decreased in the end of 2016 to 7.9%, down from 12.8% in December 2015. As of February 2017 the EPRA Vacancy of the commercial portfolio further decreased to 7.3%. The rental income run rate for the commercial portfolio is EUR380 million as February 2017, and the FFO I is EUR178 million. Including the contribution of the residential portfolio, the FFO I run rate as of February 2017 is EUR230 million.

AT has updated the dividend payout ratio to 65% of FFO I per share, up from formerly 30%, resulting in EUR0.163 per share in 2016 (subject to AGM approval) reflecting a 220% increase from 2015 dividend payout. The updated dividend policy is reflecting a 3.8% dividend yield on 2016 payout and 5.2% dividend yield on February 2017 FFO I run rate.

Further, AT is currently in the process to upgrade the stock listing to an EU-regulated market and in parallel is in the process to migrate the company to Luxemburg and continue as a Luxemburg Company. These corporate transactions are expected to be completed during the course of 2017. The Company believes that these corporate transactions will increase the visibility and tradability of the Company and will result in inclusion in major stock indices in Europe.
