Portfolio
Housing stock
On 31 March 2026, LEG's portfolio consisted of 171,116 residential units as well as 1,585 commercial units and 51,621 garages and parking spaces. The average living space per apartment was 63 square metres (sqm) with an average rent of EUR 7.15 per sqm and month.
Operating performance
On a like-for-like basis, the in-place rent on 31 March 2026 was EUR 7.15 per sqm and month. This corresponds to an increase of 3.7 % compared to the previous year's reporting date.
The rental growth resulted essentially from the development of the free-financed portfolio, which accounts for 83 % of the portfolio. Here, the actual in-place rent rose by 3.8 % year-on-year to EUR 7.50 per sqm (like-for-like). Within the free-financed portfolio, the high-growth markets recorded an increase of 3.7 % to EUR 8.57 per sqm (like-for-like). In the stable markets of the free-financed portfolio, the in-place rent rose the most by an average of 4.0 % to EUR 7.25 per sqm (like-for-like). The higher-yielding markets recorded an increase in monthly rents of 3.5 % to EUR 6.73 per sqm (like-for-like).
In the segment of the rent-restricted units, which make up 17 % of the portfolio, rents were adjusted at the beginning of the year. This adjustment is permitted every three years. As a result of the adjustment of the cost-based rents, the average monthly rent in this segment rose by 3.3 % to EUR 5.60 per sqm (like-for-like).
The EPRA vacancy rate on a like-for-like basis remained unchanged at 2.4 % as at 31 March 2026 compared to the previous year's reporting date. The high-growth markets recorded the lowest vacancy rate at 1.3 %. In the stable markets, the EPRA vacancy rate was 2.4 % on average and in the higher-yielding markets 4.2 % (always on a like-for-like basis).

In the reporting period, net operating income increased by EUR 4.2 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development is the increase in net cold rent of EUR 7.6 million. The rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 3.7 % year-on-year. This was mainly offset by a change of EUR 3.5 million in the "Other" category, primarily due to lower subsidies.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin increased from 81.0 % to 82.6 % compared to the same period of the previous year.

EPRA vacancy rate - like-for-like (in %) | 2.4 | 2.4 |
EPRA vacancy rate - total (in %) | 2.7 | 2.6 |
The EPRA vacancy rate, which compares lost rental income due to vacancy to potential rental income at full occupancy based on market rents as of the current reporting date, remained steady at 2.4 % on a comparable basis.
Adjusted administrative expenses decreased slightly by EUR 0.8 million in the first three months compared to the same period of the previous year.
Other income for the prior-year period primarily consists of gains from a business acquisition amounting to EUR 129.2 million resulting from the acquisition of shares in Brack Capital Properties N.V. (BCP).
Interest expenses decreased in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in the previous year by EUR 4.3 million to EUR -55.2 million, primarily due to one-time effects from the acquisition of BCP in the first quarter of 2025. In this context, the repayment of loans and capital market instruments in connection with the acquisition of BCP had a significant impact on prepayment penalties, loan amortisation, and other interest expenses. The changes in interest expenses from real estate and bond financing result from the valuation of loans and capital market instruments after the prior-year period.
Year-on-year the average interest rate decreased to 1.80 % as at 31 March 2026 (1.55 % as at 31 March 2025) on an average term of 5.8 years (5.6 years as at 31 March 2025).
The result from the fair value measurement of derivatives in the reporting period was primarily attributable to changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives in convertible bonds, amounting to EUR -14.3 million (prior-year period: EUR 55.5 million).
As at 31 March 2026, an effective Group tax rate of 15.0 % was assumed in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 22.8 %).
The decrease in the Group's effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the reduction in deferred tax liabilities related to investment properties, resulting from the phased reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 15 % to 10 % approved in July 2025.
The Group has applied the temporary exemption from the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023. Accordingly, no deferred taxes are reported in relation to income taxes under the Pillar Two rules, and no related information has been disclosed.

Investment properties decreased primarily due to reclassifications to assets held for sale (EUR -92.8 million), while this was offset by capitalisations of modernisation measures totalling EUR 56,4 million and the valuation result (EUR +16.8 million).
The recognition during the year of property tax expense for the remaining financial year as other inventories (EUR +24.4 million), the deferral of prepaid operating costs in the amount of EUR 19.9 million, and the increase in income tax receivables (EUR +4.7 million), as well as, conversely, the reversal of investments in short-term financial assets (EUR -10.0 million) and the decrease in rent receivables (EUR -11.2 million) contribute significantly to the development of receivables and other assets.
As of 31 March 2026, cash and cash equivalents of EUR 457.6 million and short-term investments included in receivables and other assets of EUR 50.4 million totalled EUR 508.0 million.
In the first quarter of 2026, loans totalling EUR 347.0 million were recorded (IFRS carrying amount: EUR 347.2 million). This was largely offset by the repayment of a corporate bond in the amount of EUR 500.0 million as well as scheduled and unscheduled repayments of bank loans totalling EUR 237.5 million.
While the increase in other long-term liabilities is primarily due to the increase in deferred tax liabilities (EUR +18.2 million), other short-term liabilities rose due to deferred property taxes and other operating costs (EUR +72.7 million) as well as the valuation of derivatives (EUR +12.6 million).
In the remaining maturity profile, liabilities from convertible bonds are reported as current liabilities in accordance with IAS 1 because conversion of the instrument is technically possible at any time (regardless of economic reality).

Financial position
A net profit for the period of EUR 79.2 million was generated in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 243.2 million). Equity amounted to EUR 8,842.1 million at the reporting date (31 December 2025: EUR 8,758.9 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of 42.5 % (31 December 2025: 41.6 %).
A condensed form of the LEG 's statement of cash flows for the reporting period is shown below:
Statement of cash flows | 01.01.- | 01.01.- |
€ million | 31.03.2026 | 31.03.2025 |
Cash flow from operating activities | 126.3 | 110.3 |
Cash flow from investing activities | -29.3 | 222.9 |
Cash flow from financing activities | -395.9 | -162.8 |
Change in cash and cash equivalents | -298.9 | 170.4 |
In the first quarter of 2026, higher cash inflows from net cold rents compared to the same period of the previous year had a positive impact on cash flow from operating activities.
Primarily, renovations of the existing portfolio, with outflows of EUR 57.4 million, contribute to cash flow from investing activities of EUR -29.3 million. This is offset by inflows from the sale of properties amounting to EUR 19.9 million and the redemption of short-term investments totalling EUR 10.0 million.
In the first quarter of 2026, ongoing repayments of bank loans (EUR -7.5 million) and the redemption of a bond (EUR -500.0 million) as well as, conversely, the raising of new bank loans totalling EUR 116.0 million, were the main drivers of cash flow from financing activities amounting to EUR -395.9 million.
LEG's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.
Other EPRA key figures EPRA Capex
The EPRA capex presentation breaks down the capitalised investments for the financial year into the categories of acquisitions, development and modernisation of investment properties and reconciles them to the payments for investments in investment properties in the statement of cash flows. Acquisitions in the comparative period primarily consist of investment properties acquired through the purchase of shares in BCP. The development category comprises new construction activity on own land.

EPRA LTV
Compared to the LTV, financial liabilities are recognised at their nominal amount, and cash and cash equivalents are consistent with the definition under IFRS. Accordingly, short-term investments with a term of longer than three months in the amount of EUR 50.3 million (31 December 2025: EUR 60.3 million) are not included in the numerator. Furthermore, net financial liabilities and real estate assets of joint ventures and material associates are included, while those of material non-controlling interests are excluded.
The material associates included are the asset-holding companies Kommunale Haus und Wohnen GmbH and Beckumer Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH.

The consolidated financial statements of LEG Immobilien SE reported financial liabilities from real estate financing of EUR 9,611.6 million as at 31 March 2026.
In the first quarter of 2026, loans in the amount of EUR 347.0 million (IFRS carrying amount: EUR 347.2 million) were valued. This was offset primarily by the repayment of a corporate bond in the amount of EUR 500.0 million, as well as scheduled and unscheduled repayments of bank loans totalling EUR 237.5 million.
The financial liabilities from real estate financing include the following capital market instruments as at the reporting date:

The convertible bonds were classified and recognised in full as current liabilities due to the issuer's contractual cash settlement option, regardless of their economic substance. There are several embedded derivatives and derivatives that must be separated that are to be jointly regarded as a compound derivative and carried at fair value. The host debt instrument is recognised at amortised cost.
The change in financial liabilities from lease financing in the reporting period essentially results primarily from the decrease in lease liabilities for measurement and reporting technology as well as leasehold rights. For leases that have already been concluded and do not begin until after the balance sheet date, there will be possible future cash outflows of EUR 0.6 million.

The main driver of the change in the maturity distribution compared to 31 December 2025, is the corporate bond redeemed in the first quarter of 2026, as well as loan refinancings, which led to a reduction in financial liabilities with a short-term maturity. This is offset by shifts from financial liabilities with a mid-term maturity to those with a short-term maturity. Furthermore, newly valued and refinanced loans primarily increase financial liabilities with mid-term and long-term remaining maturities. Short-term financial liabilities include EUR 1,214.4 million from convertible bonds.

In the reporting period, net operating income increased by EUR 4.2 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development is the increase in net cold rent of EUR 7.6 million. The rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by 3.7 % year-on-year. This was mainly offset by a change of EUR 3.5 million in the "Other" category, primarily due to lower subsidies.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin increased from 81.0 % to 82.6 % compared to the same period of the previous year.

The decrease in interest expenses by EUR 4.3 million to EUR 55.2 million is mainly due to one-time effects related to the acquisition of BCP in the first quarter of 2025. In this context, the repayment of loans and capital market instruments in connection with the acquisition of BCP had a significant impact on prepayment penalties, loan amortisation, and other interest expenses. The changes in interest expenses from real estate and bond financing result from the valuation of loans and capital market instruments after the comparative period.

As at 31 March 2026, an effective Group tax rate of 15.0 % was assumed in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: 22.8 %).
The decrease in the Group's effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the reduction in deferred tax liabilities related to investment properties, resulting from the phased reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 15 % to 10 % approved in July 2025.
The Group has applied the temporary exemption from the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12 published by the IASB in May 2023. Accordingly, no deferred taxes are reported in relation to income taxes under the Pillar Two rules, and no related information has been disclosed.
Under the German Act on Global Minimum Taxation (German Minimum Taxation Act), Germany adopted the Pillar Two rules into its national tax law effective 1 January 2024. This law requires businesses to pay top-up tax on profits taxed at a low rate upwards of a certain amount. This applies to enterprise groups whose revenue has reached a level of EUR 750.0 million in at least two of the four preceding financial years.
An effective tax rate of at least 15 % must be achieved based on the profit reported in the consolidated financial statements, which is to be adjusted in accordance with specific rules. This means that, for the LEG Group, the adjusted IFRS profit is used to determine the effective tax rate. However, a five-year exemption is intended for enterprise groups with minor international activities. Such an activity exists if the corporate group has business units in no more than six tax jurisdictions and the total value of all tangible assets of business units located outside the reference tax jurisdiction does not exceed EUR 50.0 million.
As of 2025, the LEG Group generally falls within the scope of the Minimum Tax Act and is subject to tax under Section 1 of the Minimum Tax Act. At present, there are no indications that a minimum tax will be due.

Notes on Group segment reporting
LEG has operated in only one segment since the 2016 financial year. It generates its revenue and holds its assets exclusively in Germany. In the financial year 2026, LEG did not generate sales of more than 10% of total reported sales with any customer.
In addition to the minimum disclosures required by IFRS 8, the company's key performance indicators are explained and presented below. These correspond to the management and reporting system used by LEG for corporate management and provide a deeper insight into the economic performance of LEG.
Internal reporting at LEG deviates from the IFRS accounting figures. LEG's internal reporting focuses in particular on the key performance indicators of AFFO, the adjusted EBITDA margin and LTV, as well as the other key financial performance indicators for the housing industry like EPRA NTA and net cold rent. The alternative performance indicators presented below are not based on IFRS figures, with the exception of the comments on LTV.
AFFO
AFFO is one of the most important key financial performance indicators for Group management. LEG distinguishes between FFO I (excluding net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex).
The calculation of AFFO, FFO I, and FFO II for the reporting and comparison period is as follows:

At EUR 58.6 million, AFFO for the reporting period was 5.9 % lower than in the comparative period (comparative period: EUR 62.3 million). Despite a EUR 7.6 million increase in net cold rents, the decline in AFFO is primarily attributable to higher maintenance expenses of EUR 2.2 million, capex measures of EUR 4.1 million, and interest expenses of EUR 3.8 million.
EBITDA is adjusted for non-recurring items to ensure comparability with previous periods. All matters that are not attributable to the period from an operational perspective and have a significant impact on EBITDA are adjusted. These one-off special effects include project costs for business model and process optimisation, personnel-related matters, acquisition and integration costs, capital market financing and M&A activities, as well as other atypical matters. These are composed as follows:

Investment income from Green Ventures is recognised at the end of the financial year.

Finally, AFFO, starting from FFO I (after non-controlling interests), takes into account recurring capex measures (Capex (recurring)). Recurring capex measures are defined as capitalised costs from modernisation and maintenance measures as well as new construction activities on own land. When calculating the production costs from modernisation and maintenance measures, consolidation effects resulting from self-performed services, which arise from the elimination of intercompany profits, are eliminated.
Investments
The maintenance expenses from the perspective of the asset-holding companies consist of maintenance expenses for externally procured services and internally provided maintenance work carried out by LEG's service companies. For capitalised modernisation classified as value-enhancing measures, investments in investment properties and tangible assets are taken into account. Investment in investment properties, value-adding capital expenditure (capex) and capex (recurring) include expansion investments in the form of new construction activities on own land but not purchased project developments. For the calculation of adjusted total investments per square metre, consolidation effects, investments in new construction activities on own land, capitalised own work, and subsidies received recognised in profit or loss have been eliminated from the total investments.

EPRA Net Tangible Asset (EPRA NTA)
As of 31 March 2026, LEG reported an EPRA NTA of EUR 10,450.9 million, or EUR 138.29 per share. In the calculation, deferred taxes on investment properties are adjusted by the amount attributable to planned property disposals by LEG. The key figures are presented on a diluted basis only. As at 31 March 2026, no dilution effects from the convertible bonds are taken into account, as the share price does not exceed the current conversion prices as at the reporting date.

LEG's calculation of EPRA NTA is based on the Best Practice Recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).
Effects from the exercise of options, convertible bonds, and other equity rights amounting to EUR 38.1 million are reported as recognised purchase price obligations from share deals.
Deferred taxes resulting from the measurement of investment properties and from the measurement of publicly subsidised loans as well as the measurement of derivatives are adjusted in the amount of the equity impact. Deferred taxes relating to the planned sales programme are not taken into account in the determination of the EPRA NTA. Deferred taxes on investment properties, FWA loans, and derivatives included in EPRA NTA totalled EUR 1,696.2 million as at 31 March 2026.
The effects of the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are also eliminated in the calculation of EPRA NTA. If these effects from the valuation of derivatives relate to the equity value determined in the position "Hybrid instruments," they are not considered in the position "Fair value of financial instruments". As at 31 March 2026, these effects total EUR -55.5 million.
In addition, all recognised intangible assets are eliminated. As at 31 March 2026 these totalled EUR 5.0 million.
Loan-to-value ratio (LTV)
As of 31 March 2026, net debt due had decreased slightly compared to 31 December 2025, while real estate assets had increased as a result of modernisation measures. Overall, this resulted in a slight decline in the loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 46.2 % (31 December 2025: 46.8 %).

- Financial instruments
The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities broken down by measurement category and class. Receivables and liabilities from finance leases and derivatives used as hedging instruments are included even though they are not assigned to an IFRS 9 measurement category. With respect to reconciliation, non-financial assets and non-financing liabilities are also included although they are not covered by IFRS 7.
The fair values of financial instruments are determined on the basis of corresponding market values or measurement methods. For cash and cash equivalents and other short-term primary financial instruments, the fair value is approximately the same as the carrying amount at the end of the respective reporting period.
For non-current receivables, other assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated on the basis of the forecast cash flows, applying the reference interest rates as of the end of the reporting period. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date.
For financial instruments at fair value, the discounted cash flow method is used to determine fair value using corresponding quoted market prices, with individual credit ratings and other market conditions being taken into account in the form of standard credit and liquidity spreads when calculating present value. If no quoted market prices are available, the fair value is calculated using standard measurement methods applying instrument-specific market parameters.
When calculating the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the input parameters for the valuation models are the relevant market prices and interest rates observed as of the end of the reporting period, which are obtained from recognised external sources. The derivatives are therefore attributable to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13.72 ff (measurement on the basis of observable inputs).
Both the Group's own risk and the counterparty risk were taken into account in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives in accordance with IFRS 13.

The fair value of the other investments in the amount of EUR 170.9 million was last calculated as at 31 December 2025 using accepted valuation methodologies as there are no quoted prices on an active market for the corresponding investments. The fair value calculated using valuation models is allocated to Level 3 of the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. They are allocated to Level 3 on account of the use of inputs not observed on a market in the measurement model. The other companies are valued using the simplified capitalised earnings value method. The main model parameter in the simplified capitalised earnings value method is the capitalisation interest rate of
9.2 %. The fair value of the portfolio companies is determined on the basis of the property values of the respective companies. The property values are determined on the basis of offer prices from a market database. The 25 % percentile of the offer prices was selected for the valuation.
The stress test of the relevant valuation parameters for the other companies is carried out as at 31 December 2025 by increasing or decreasing the capitalisation rate by 50 basis points and for the real estate companies by using the 10 % percentile or median of the offer prices. The stress test of these parameters results in a reduction in the fair value to EUR 119.9 million when using the 10 % percentile and increasing the capitalisation interest rate by 50 basis points and an increase in the fair value to EUR 224.4 million when using the median and reducing the capitalisation interest rate by 50 basis points.
