Office transaction volume development Development of office KPIs (in % of total space)*

Strong GDP growth and a decline in unemployment rate have been the

key drivers in the office market.

Despite slightly lower GDP prospects in the future demand for offices

should remain solid and rents are expected to further grow even if at lower

rates than in the past.

Significant value upside Vacancy rate development

We see further upside for Godewind's NAV which should be mainly driven

by decreasing vacancies of its value-add properties.

Godewind has already been quite successful in reducing vacancy rates in

recent months. We expect this development to continue.

Net rental income development Development of FFO

Recent acquisitions as well as Godewind's active asset management

measures should positively contribute to its rental income growth (CAGR

Driven by rental growth as a result of lower vacancies and higher rents we

estimate FFO growth of 109% (CAGR 2019-2021e).

Godewind Immobilien AG

Company

Profile

Godewind is a German commercial real estate company with a 100% focus on office in the TOP 7 locations (Berlin, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg,

Munich, Stuttgart). The company was founded in 2001. In 2017 its business focus changed into being a commercial real estate company. Since the blindpool IPO

in April 2018 the company is listed in the Prime Standard in Frankfurt. The company currently has a property portfolio with a volume of c. EUR 840m, split over 10

office properties. In the mid-term Godewind targets to increase its real estate portfolio to around EUR 3bn.

Business FocusGodewind focuses on office properties in the TOP 7 locations in Germany. Unlike some of its peers like e.g. TLG it does not hold any legacy assets from past portfolo transactions. Godewind buys office properties with relatively high vacancy

rates which it targets to reduce by active asset management.

Portfolio overviewAs of June 2019 Godewind had 10 assets with a total value of EUR c. 840m. Around 47% of its assets are located in Frankfurt, 26% in Hamburg, 21% in Dusseldorf and 6% in Munich. Average vacancy rate amounted to c. 24% which is

clearly above market levels. LTV of the portfolio stood at 50%. The split between core (+) and value-add is 45% to 55%.

Acquisitions Since its listing in April 2018 Godewind has bought 10 office properties, latest acquisition was the City Gate in Frankfurt for EUR 85m.

Tenant structure The ten largest of Godewind's tenants (excl. CitGate acquisition), which stand for nearly 50% of rental income, are well-known names like e.g. Deutsche Lufthansa, Shell, Deutsche Telekom and the Arbeitsagentur.

Dividend policy Godewind has not yet paid any dividends to shareholders but intends to pay out at least 60% of its FFO as dividend to shareholders going forward.

Funding As of June 2019 total funding amounted to EUR 453m and average interest cost stood at 1.4%. Net LTV stood at c. 51% and Godewind does not have any large maturities before 2024.

DriversMain earnings drivers in the next two years should be the reduction of the high vacancy rate and increase of rents to market levels. This together with a lengthening of WALT should not only lead to higher earnings but also to higher NAVs.

Further acquisitions are likely but taken into account for our earnings estimates.

Valuation

We have based our valuation on a peer group analysis and a Dividend Discount Model. We applied multiples analysis, using 2020e P/FFO and P/NAV multiples, with other German commercial real estate companies as peers and calculated a fair value per share of EUR 4.13. We have derived a fair value of EUR 4.89 from our Dividend Discount Model. Our Target Price of EUR 4.50 is calculated from the average of the two fair values. We recommend buying the shares as we see significant upside through decreasing vacancies.

Peer Group Analysis

Our Peer Group Analysis is based upon a multiples comparison of Godewind with other commercial real estate companies taking into account P/FFO and P/NAV multiples. As Godewind is focusing on German commercial real estate companies our peer group consists of only German commercial real estate companies, i.e. we have not taken into account residential real estate companies and/or foreign companies.

See Appendix I for details on the peers’ real estate portfolios and the KPI’s.

Dividend Discount Model

We have derived a Target Price of EUR 4.89 from a dividend discount model valuation. Our model is based upon three phases; in phase I (which stands for 9% of the calculated fair value) we have made detailed earnings estimates, in phase II (22%) we have only made estimates for selected P&L lines which are of key importance for the DDM and in phase III (69%) we have calculated the terminal value.

The key parameters of the model are as follows: Average annual EBT-growth of 2.8% between 2023 and 2028. Tax rate of 10% for the years 2022 until 2027 as well as for the terminal phase. Payout-ratio of 60% of FFO(note that Godewind targets to pay at least 60% of its

FFO as dividend) for 2019e and 2020e with an increase to 80% from 2026 onwards. Cost of equity at 6.8%. Note that we have calculated a beta of 0.7x.

SWOT

Strenghts

Experienced management team with an outstanding track record: Godewind’s management is well experienced in the real estate sector with more than 45 years of combined real estate experience. We see Mr. Efremidis’ extensive network as a key advantage as this enables the company to get access to interesting properties despite the current high demand for office properties in Germany. Stavros Efremidis (CEO) has more than 10 years of CEO experience at listed companies which have developed favourably during his function as CEO, e.g. WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz AG’s market cap increased from EUR 19m to EUR 469m and was finally taken over by TLG in May 2017 with a premium of 18% on EPRA NAV (see Appendix III for some additional details on WCM).

Attractive funding structure: Godewind has a solid funding structure (Net LTV of c. 48% vs. peers as of Q1 2019: 38.8%) and targets Net LTV in the range of 45% to 55%. Godewind financed its portfolio growth at attractive terms as avg. funding costs amount to c. 1.38% (vs. peers as of Q1 2019: 2.1%). Its average debt maturity stands at 4 years.

Strong portfolio growth since IPO in April 2018: Since its blindpool IPO in April 2018 its portfolio significantly increased to 10 office assets with a value of c. EUR 840m (including the recently announced acquisition of City Gate Tower in Frankfurt) and a lettable space of c. 293,000 sqm. Note that first acquisitions took place in October 2018.

Large unused tax loss carry-forwards: As of Q1 2019, TLG had EUR 355m of unused

tax loss carryforwards (EUR 180m for corporate income tax and EUR 175m for trade tax) which stemmed from trading losses in the past. Due to the utilization of tax loss carryforwards, Godewind is able to keep its cash tax rate on a low level. As Godewind has EUR 133m in its contribution account, it will be able to pay tax-free dividends to its shareholders.

No structural vacancy: The portfolio was created from scratch and there is no legacy portfolio. As Godewind has increased its portfolio via asset by asset acquisition, the portfolio has no structural vacancy.

Pure office play: Godewind is the only listed large real estate company focusing solely on office real estate properties. On the one hand this should enable it to realize economies of scale to a larger extent than other players investing in different real estate classes and on the other hand make it more attractive for investors who want to invest only in office.

Alignment of Interest: The CEO holds 12% in the company, worth around EUR 50m. He is therefore highly committed to his task and focuses 100% of his time in increasing shareholder value.

Weaknesses

Short financial history of Godewind: Due to the fact that Godewind had its IPO in April 2018 and executed the first acquisitions from October 2018 onwards the acquisitions have only partially contributed to its 2018 full-year earnings, i.e. the 2018 annual report is of limited use. H1 2019 reports will however fully consolidate the recent acquisitions.

Further capital required for portfolio expansion: As Godewind targets to increase its portfolio value to c. EUR 3bn in the mid term with a target net LTV in the range of 45% to 55%, we expect further capital increases to fund future transactions.

High dependence on CEO: Mr. Efremidis as CEO is the second largest shareholder and a key person in the company. Without his experience and good standing among investors, the blindpool IPO would have not been successful. For the ongoing business and future capital measures he remains important because of his extensive network and very good reputation.

Opportunities

Significant rental upside: While Godewind’s core(+) portfolio is characterized by stable cash flows its value-add assets offer significant rental upside as those assets typically have higher vacancies. We see vacancy reduction to market rent levels as the main driver for both Godewind’s NAV and its portfolio value. Note that WALT extensions ensure a more stable cash flow. Average rent of its total portfolio is at EUR 14.71 which is below the market level of EUR 15.80. Godewind expects EUR 304m upside potential for its NAV of which EUR 135m is expected to result from its core(+) portfolio and EUR 169m from its value-add assets, both mainly driven by higher rental income.

Increased investor focus expected: As soon as Godewind shows that it is able to increase its portfolio value, its FFO as well as its NAV due to its active asset management approach, investors’ awareness is expected to increase. Additionally investors may be willing to pay higher multiples once the company proves that its business model works.

Portfolio investments to create value: Godewind targets portfolio investments of c. EUR 110m which should lead to lower vacancies and higher rents and thus also increase its NAV. These measures should include tenant improvements.

Business model highly scalable: As Godewind has outsourced its facility and

property management activities, its business model is highly scalable. Further acquisitions should require only very limited extra costs and have a more than proportionate positive FFO impact.

Threats

Lack of assets: As Godewind plans to further expand its portfolio to c. EUR 3bn it is possible that it will not be able to find acquisitions that fit into its strategy.

Problems with vacancy reduction: As Godewind’s portfolio includes value-add properties that are characterized by high vacancies it is possible that Godewind will not be able to realize the planned vacancy reductions. Thus, its upside potential for its NAV might not be achievable.

Recession in Germany: In case of a recession in Germany demand for office space will decline, which would have a negative impact on vacancy rate and rent levels in the market and this would most likely also impact Godewind.

Strong increase in interest rates: A strong increase in interest rates would lead to higher future funding costs for Godewind. Higher rates would negatively affect Godewind’s real estate portfolio value as prices come under pressure. This can result c.p. in lower valuation gains and lead to lower NAVs.

Lower threshold for share deals may burden transaction volumes: Due to the planned reforms of the land transfer tax (“Grunderwerbsteuer”) the threshold for triggering real estate transfer tax is intended to be lowered from 95% to 90%. In addition, the holding period is planned on being increased from 5 to 10 years. This make share deals less attractive due to higher ancillary costs (between 3.5% and 6.5% based on the purchase price). This may burden transaction volumes although we do not expect a major impact. Note, that such law has not been enacted yet. More importantly, Godewind has so far made only one-share deal, i.e. its acquisition strategy does not depend on acquiring assets free of land transfer tax.

As a result of trading losses in the past Godewind has tax loss carry-forwards (as of Dec. 2018: tax losses carry-forwards for corporation tax of EUR 180m and EUR 175m for trade tax). Due to the utilization of tax loss carryforwards, Godewind is able to keep its cash tax rate at a low level. In addition, Godewind has a contribution account for tax purposes enabling Godewind to pay tax-free dividends. Management The management board of Godewind consists of two members: Stavros Efremidis (CEO) and Ralf Struckmeyer (CFO). They have worked together for c. 10 years (Mr. Efremidis having worked as CEO for KWG, conwert Germany and WCM and Mr. Struckmeyer having worked for Evercore & Kuna & Co, one of the leading German real estate M&A firms) and have executed acquisitions, operations and disposals across various asset classes. See Appendix II, III, IV for detailed information on the management board of Godewind. Shareholder structure Main shareholder of Godewind with a stake of 13.50% are Karl Ehlerding, founder and major shareholder of WCM in early 2000 and today mainly active as a real estate investor, and CEO Stavros Efremidis with a 12.0% stake. Freefloat, which comprises DWS, Pelhalm Capital, Morgan Stanley and others, amounts to 73%.

Business Model

Godewind with offices in Berlin and Frankfurt is a commercial real estate company with a focus on office assets with stable cash flows and/or substantial upside potential in the top 7 locations in Germany. The company started as a blindpool IPO in April 2018 and used the proceeds of EUR 375m to build up a portfolio. Since October 2018 Godewind has closed the acquisition of 10 office properties with a value of around EUR 837m in total. The latest transaction was the acquisition of the office property City Gate in Frankfurt for EUR 85m. The transaction is expected to be closed in Q3 2019. Godewind’s strategy is to acquire, hold and manage commercial real estate properties located in Germany. Value should be created through its active asset management approach, i.e. vacancy reduction through new lettings, extension of lease contracts and upward-adjustment of rents to market level. Godewind targets to further expand its portfolio to around EUR 3bn with a pure focus on office assets. In case of portfolio transactions that include non-office and non-strategic assets these would be sold. The CEO seems to be very keen in our view on holding no legacy assets and to be a pure office play. The portfolio is classified into value-add (56% of rental income) and core (+) assets (44% of rental income). While its core (+) assets can be seen as cash generating assets its value-add portfolio offers significant value creation potential due to vacancy reductions, WALT extensions and increase of rents. Godewind manages its properties in-house through its in-house asset management activities. Note that property and facility management activities are provided externally which gives Godewind a flexible cost base and makes its business model highly scalable. Portfolio As of Q1 2019 Godewind’s portfolio consisted of 9 office properties with a portfolio value of c. EUR 452m. Note that its Q1 results did not include the properties from the acquisition of “Herzogen-Terrassen” in Dusseldorf and “Quartier am Zeughaus” in Hamburg as these acquisitions were closed post the reporting date in March 2019. On 23 May 2019 Godewind announced the acquisition of office property City Gate Tower in Frankfurt for EUR 85m.

Including its recent acquisitions the portfolio of 10 office assets is mainly located in Frankfurt (47% of group rental income), Hamburg (26%), Dusseldorf (21%), Munich (6%), classified into value-add (55% of rental income) and core(+) assets (45% of rental income).

Exhibit 7: Portfolio split by region (rental income) Exhibit 8: Portfolio split by property type

The total gross yield of the 10 office properties amounted to 5.3%. Its portfolio is characterized by a comparably high vacancy rate of 23.6% (vs. peer group: 5.2%) which offers further upside potential. Note that the high vacancy rate stems from its value-add portfolio which is characterized by a vacancy rate of on avg. 34.5% while its core(+) assets have an avg. vacancy rate of 7.9%. Weighted average lease term (WALT) of the 10 assets were on avg. at 5.2 yrs and was thus lower than its its peer group. WALT ranged from 2.9 yrs. (ComConCenter in Frankfurt) to 6.1 yrs (Herzog-Terrassen in Dusseldorf). Note that a long WALT should ensure a stable rental income but at the same time limit rental increases. Ideally a long WALT comes along with a rent at or above market level.

Recent portfolio growth Godewind’s first acquisitions were two office complexes located in Frankfurt and Dusseldorf with a total net purchase price of EUR 73.5m, which were announced on 16 October 2018.

Acquisition I: ComConCenter Frankfurt On 31 October 2018 Godewind closed the acquisition of the office property “ComConCenter” in Frankfurt which was acquired for EUR 33.5m. The property was constructed in 2002 and is located in Frankfurt Niederrad which lies between the city center and the airport, in close proximity to both the city and the airport. The property has a lettable space of 16,264 sqm and generates rental income of EUR 2.0m p.a. with a WALT of 3.1 yrs. This translates into a yield of 6.0% based upon net purchase price. With a vacancy rate of 12.3%, we see further upside for Godewind to increase the value of the asset by decreasing its vacancy rate

through its active asset management. Note that the asset also has 1,090 sqm of vacant office space which is at the enhanced shell stage of construction and is expected to be let before the construction works are done. As the average rent of the ComComCenter is with EUR 10.89 below the market level we see further upside potential for rent increases. According to Godewind the value of the property should have increased to EUR 40.2m (multiple of 19.7x) based upon an indicative valuation. Taking into account the gross purchase price of EUR 35.8m this leads to a lucky-buy effect of EUR 4.4m. Due to rental income growth as a result of lower vacancies and increase of in-place rents through indexation Godewind plans to increase rental income from EUR 2.0m p.a. to EUR 2.3m p.a. by 2021. Note that the relatively short WALT of 3.1 years is also planned to increase which would ensure stable cash flows. EUR 1.5m is planned to be invested into the property and the value of the asset is expected to increase to EUR 44.9m by 2021. Godewind estimates NAV to increase by EUR 12.8m until 2021.

Acquisition II: Airport business center Dusseldorf Godewind’s second portfolio addition was the acquisition of airport business center in Dusseldorf for a net purchase price of EUR 40.0m. The closing took place on 30 November 2018. The property has a lettable space of 13,077 sqm and the vacancy rate was at 16.6% at time of acquisition. Rental income of the property was at EUR 1.8m (yield of 4.6% based upon net purchase price) with a WALT of 3.9 yrs. As avg. rent of the property was at EUR 13.30 per sqm and below the market rent we see further upside for rental income growth. Godewind announced that the asset has 1,994 sqm of vacant office space which is let for EUR 12.42 per sqm and the rent per sqm is planned to increase to EUR 14.00 per sqm. This should have a positive effect on Godewind’s rental income (Pareto estimate: EUR 0.04m). Godewind targets to increase rental income of the property to EUR 2.2m which should be driven by vacancy reduction and the increase of in-place rents. EUR 1.2m is planned to be invested into the property. According to an indicative valuation, the value of the property increased to EUR 43m (vs. net purchase price of EUR 40.0m) which translates into a multiple of 20.1x (vs. 21.7x at time of acquisition). Godewind targets to achieve a market value of EUR 45.9m for the property post the execution of asset management activities. The increase of WALT should also be positive to ensure a stable cash flow.

Acquisition III: Sunsquare Kirchheim/Munich In October 2018, Godewind announced the acquisition of the office building “Sunsquare” in Kirchheim-Heimstetten (suburb of Munich) with a lettable space of 18,820 sqm. The property was acquired for EUR 30.5m (net purchase price) and was financed by cash. The acquisition was closed on 15 December 2018. At time of the acquisition, the rental income was at EUR 0.8m p.a. with a WALT of 3.7 yrs. The property has high vacancy rate of 62.8% which provides further upside to decrease the vacant space which should have a positive impact on Godewind’s rental income. Godewind is in advanced negotiations with one of the biggest rehabilitation center operators in Germany regarding the development of a convalescent home on the site with a long-term WALT. Note that avg. rent of EUR 11.47 is also below the market rent of EUR 12.00 per sqm which leaves further upside for rent increases. Assuming a fully let building and taking into account the development of c. 15,500 sqm Godewind expects to reach rental income of EUR 5.2m p.a. with a target market value of EUR 102.0m and a planned investment volume of EUR 43.4m, resulting in a NAV uplift of EUR 35.8m. According to an indicative valuation, the value of the property should amount to EUR 40.5m which represents a lucky-by effect of EUR 8.3m compared to the gross purchase price.

Acquisition IV: Frankfurt Airport Center

On 31 October 2018, Godewind acquired a 89.9% stake in Frankfurt Airport Center with a lettable space of 48,495 sqm and 183 parking spaces. The property is connected to Terminal 1 of the Frankfurt airport. The majority stake was acquired for a net purchase price of EUR 168.0m. The acquisition was financed with EUR 76m equity and existing financing of EUR 88m of which EUR 27m are planned to be used for capex measures and tenant fittings. At time of acquisition rental income amounted to EUR 10m with a vacancy rate of 19.5%. This should leave further upside for rental income. Tenants include service companies and airlines. As avg. rent of the property (EUR 20.70 per sqm/month) is below avg. market rent of EUR 21.00 per sqm/month, we see further upside for rents. As of January 2019 WALT amounted to 6.1 yrs. Note that Godewind has already closed two new anchor leases with tenants from the aviation industry for a space of 8,910 sqm which represents 18.5% of the lettable area. As a result income should increase by EUR 1.7m and the vacancy rate is expected to further decrease.

assumes investment costs of EUR 27.4m and targets to increase the market value of the property to EUR 245m with a rental income of EUR 12.3m (vs. EUR 10.0m at purchase time). As a result NAV is expected to increase by EUR 68.5m.

Acquisition V: Pentahof Hamburg

On 31 January 2019 Godewind closed the acquisition of the office property “Pentahof” in Hamburg with a lettable space of 24,747 sqm which was announced in November 2018. The property is located at Hamburg airport. The purchase price (net) of EUR 60.6m was financed with the proceeds generated via the IPO. The property generated rental income of EUR 3.0m p.a. (at acquisition time) with a WALT of 4.8 yrs. The property has a global petroleum company as anchor tenant (98% of the space). At an avg. rent of EUR 9.41 below the avg. market rent for office properties Godewind should be able to further increase the rent in the mid-term. According to an indicative valuation, the property value now stands at EUR 64.2m (multiple of 21.7x) which is higher than the net purchase price of EUR 60.6m. Overall, the increase of rents and lease extensions are expected to further increase the value of the property. Godewind targets rental income of EUR 3.1m and a market value of EUR 68.3m (vs. net purchase price: EUR 60.6m). Investments of EUR 0.4m are planned and NAV is expected to increase by EUR 10.8m. Note that Godewind evaluates alternative use scenarios for hotel, residential and micro living.

Acquisition VI: Quartier am Zeughaus Hamburg In December 2018 Godewind signed the acquisition of a property (“Quartier am Zeughaus”) in Hamburg-Eppendorf with a lettable area of 43,522 sqm and 782 parking spaces. The acquisition has been closed on 30 April 2019 and the (net) purchase price amounted to EUR 153.0m. The property had a vacancy rate of 10.6% (at purchase time) and a WALT of 3.3 yrs. (as of January 2019). Major tenants include telecoms, media-groups, leasing companies, hospital services and other service providers.

The asset offers upside potential for rents as vacancies should further reduce and due to further rent increases and lease renewals with anchor tenants. Note that avg. rent per sqm of EUR 12.90 per sqm/month is below avg. market rent (EUR 14.50 sqm/ month) and this would create an upside for rent increases. Godewind targets to reach rental income of EUR 7.8m p.a. with a target market value of EUR 187.7m which should increase NAV by EUR 39.0m. According to an indicative valuation, the property value should now amount to EUR 164m (multiple of 24.5x) which is above the net purchase price of EUR 153.0m.

At purchase time, rental income of the property amounted to EUR 2.7m with a WALT of 5.5 yrs. Major tenants of the property include Jobcenter Frankfurt, city of Frankfurt and other service providers. Due to its high vacancy rate of 35.3% (at purchase time) and its avg. rent (EUR 11.12 per sqm/month) which is below the avg. market rent of EUR 12.00 per sqm the rental upside potential is quite significant. Godewind expects rental income to increase to EUR 4.2m p.a. (vs. EUR 2.7m at purchase time) and the value of the property is expected to increase to EUR 75.0m. Overall, Godewind plans to invest EUR 6.8m. Post the planned measures Godewind assume NAV to increase by EUR 13.9m.

Acquisition VIII: Eight Dornach Aschheim (Munich)

In December 2018 Godewind announced the purchase of a further office property in Aschheim-Dornach (near Munich) for a net purchase price of EUR 30.0m. The transaction was closed on 31 January 2019. The lettable space of the property amounts to 17,612 sqm with 279 parking spaces. As the asset is characterized by a high vacancy rate of 51.1% and avg. rent (EUR 10.00 per sqm) below the avg. market rent (EUR 12.50) further upside is expected to result from vacancy reduction, the conclusion of new leases as well as rent increases. Post the vacancy reduction Godewind expects rental income to increase to EUR 2.2m p.a. (vs. EUR 1.1m p.a. at purchase time). The market value of the property is

Acquisition X: City Gate Tower in Frankfurt On 23 May 2019 Godewind announced the acquisition of City Gate Tower in Frankfurt for a net purchase price of around EUR 85m. The property has a lettable space of 23,308 sqm and generates rental income p.a. of around EUR 3.8m p.a. with a WALT of c. 6.7 yrs. The anchor tenant is the state of Hesse. Godewind sees further upside potential for rental income of the property to EUR 4.35m p.a. in case of full occupancy (vs. current vacancy rate of 13.4%). Overall, the value of the property is expected to increase by 2020 as a result of its active asset management approach by reducing vacancies, increase of rents and the extension of lease agreements with the property’s anchor tenants. With EUR 14.60 per sqm the rent of the property is below the market rent. Godewind expects attractive financing conditions to fund the property. The funding should be in line with its target Net LTV in the range of between 45% and 55%.

Strategy

Godewind sees itself as a real estate owner as well as a real estate portfolio developer as it acquires properties with development potential. It focuses 100% on office and has no other asset classes in its portfolio and does not plan to do so. Currently (incl. the latest acquisition which was announced in May 2019) Godewind has a real estate portfolio of c. EUR 840m. It plans to further increase its portfolio to around EUR 3bn in the mid-term. Focus on TOP 7 Godewind prefers office properties which are located in attractive locations in the TOP 7 (Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart); note that it currently does not see Berlin as an attractive market and does not plan to make any investments there. The targets must be characterized by high vacancy rates and short WALTs. Godewind follows an asset by asset acquisition strategy i.e. it does not acquire large portfolios which include various asset classes, to ensure that it does not purchase any assets it does not want which then have to be sold which requires management attention and is time consuming. Apart from its large network Godewind benefits from its good reputation: it is well known for the reliability of transactions and implementation speed. Overall, the main part of potential assets are planned to stem from off-market deals and special portfolios and the remaining part is expected to stem from proposed assets by brokers.

Exhibit 36: Acquisition Strategy

Source: Pareto Securities Research, Godewind

Value creation through active asset management Once it has acquired the assets Godewind focuses on value creation through inhouse active asset management; note that it has outsourced property and facility management. Thus it makes sure that it implements necessary tenant improvements to reduce vacancy and increase rents. WALT extension is another important strategic measure as it has a direct positive impact on the asset value as well. In case Godewind has acquired some non-strategic assets as part of a portfolio transactions, these assets are sold as fast as possible. Godewind’s portfolio is split between core (+) with 45% of the total portfolio which should be characterized by a stable and high cash flow which should also be used for dividend payments and value-add properties, which are characterized by higher vacancy rates and higher valuation upside make up 55% of the portfolio. In terms of its expansion strategy Godewind has set its net-LTV target of between 45% and 55% (vs. Q1 2019: 24%). This means that further acquisitions will be only possible with additional capital raisings. Note that Godewind plans to pay at least 60% of its FFO I as dividends.

1) Focus on pure office properties in TOP 7

2) Assets with substantial value potential or stable cash flows

3) High vacancy, short WALT, attractive locations

4) Asset by asset strategy - no legacies

5) Godewind as reliable partner

6) High implementation speed

7) Focus on off-market transactions and bidding processes

Funding

Godewind’s current financial debt (June 2019) amounted to EUR 453m. The financial debt consists of 4 bank loans and one planned financing which were used to fund its portfolio growth. Compared to its peers Godewind’s funding costs are with 1.39% comparably low (avg. cost of debt peer group: 2.2%). With an average debt maturity of c. 4.4 years we see no major refinancing risk over the next years. Note that Godewind executed a share buyback program between December 2018 and February 2019. During this period in time Godewind bought 1.5m shares in total (at an average price of EUR 3.32). We do not expect Godewind to execute any additional share buybacks but to rather invest its cash into the acquisition of further real estate properties. Godewind’s equity ratio of 50.2% and the net LTV of c. 50% show that its funding structure is rather conservative which leaves scope for further acquisitions. Note that avg. LTV of its peers amounts to 42.8% (see Appendix). Note that Godewind targets LTV in the range of between 45% and 55%. Godewind also targets to receive a rating in the future. We expect Godewind to tap the bond market for future funding needs to better diversify its funding mix.

Risks to our Investment Case

Recession in Germany: A recession in Germany would lead c.p. to an increase of the unemployment rate and probably to a lower demand for office space which would most likely result in higher vacancy rates and lower rents. This would it make more difficult for Godewind to reach its financial targets, in particular reducing the vacancy rate. Under such a scenario Godewind’s rental income, NAV etc. would be negatively impacted.

No suitable assets available: If Godewind does not find any suitable assets it will not be able to reach its EUR 3bn portfolio target. A lack of suitable assets could also mean that Godewind has to pay higher prices and/or accept higher vacancy rates for the assets.

CEO leaves the company: Godewind is highly dependent on Stavros Efremidis as his good reputation among equity investors and real estate investors and his extensive network is of utmost importance to further grow the portfolio. In case of his departure from the company the growth story of the company would be dead in our view.

Strong increase in interest rates: Although Godewind’s financial expenses should be less affected by rising interest rates as its funding costs are comparably low (1.38%) with an avg. debt maturity of c. 4 yrs. a strong increase in long-term interest rates can negatively affect Godewind’s real estate portfolio value as prices should come under pressure. This can result c.p. in lower valuation gains and lead to lower NAVs.

High vacancy rates are due to structural reasons: Godewind has acquired assets with a high vacancy rate under the assumption that the vacancy is not high due to structural reasons but rather due to a bad management. If the vacancy rate is however so high because of structural reasons, e.g. a bad location, lower demand for office space in this area, an old property which does not meet today’s requirements for office space and has to be completely refurbished, Godewind may not succeed in reducing vacancy rates as fast as expected which would mean that the NAV target will be not reached.

Market environment

As Godewind focuses on the Office segment in Germany, we discuss in the market part only the German office market as the relevant market for Godewind. The office market in Germany has shown a favorable development in recent years as can be seen by the positive development of various KPIs. Vacancy rates have e.g. declined, average rents have increased and last but not least office transaction volumes have increased over the last ten years quite significantly.

As can be seen from the JLL office clock the market is however in a rather late cycle in the German TOP 7, i.e. rent growth is slowing down.

Nevertheless we expect the market environment to remain positive for the following reasons: 1) Investors’ interest in real estate should remain high. German government bond yields have declined by around 200 bps since 2013 and remain at record lows at around -10 bps. This has increased pressure for classical fixed income investors like insurers or pension funds to look for alternative asset classes to offset the yield decline. These alternative assets classes include e.g. private equity, infrastructure and real estate assets. Despite the decline of government bond

yields the yield spreads of real estate assets (vs. government bond yields) of the various real estate classes have hold up and remain well above 200 bps and go up to 500 bps for riskier real estate classes like warehouses. This makes real estate assets still attractive for investors despite the strong decline in yields of real estate assets in recent years. As we do not expect overall interest yields to increase significantly in the next two years we expect investors’ interest in real estate assets to remain high, even if we expect the continuous positive yield development of recent years to slow down.

2) The economic situation in German should remain positive. Office is the segment in the real estate sector which depends the most on the overall economic situation in Germany as demand for office space is mainly driven by the number of office workers which is again driven by the overall economic situation. The German economy has grown strongly in recent years with an average GDP growth of 2.1% between 2010 and 2018. Since summer 2018 growth rates have however come down due to fears of global trade war and the problems of the German automobile industry. The clouding of the business outlook can also be seen by a weaker reading of the IFO index, the leading German business sentiment indicator.

3) Employment situation should remain favorable. Overall unemployment rate in Germany has declined by one third since 2008 and has fallen with 4.9% to new record lows in recent months. In line with the overall positive development of

the German labour market, the number of office employees have continuously increased in recent years. Going forward we expect this trend to continue, i.e. demand for office space should remain high.

4) Construction activity should not increase significantly in the short term: Demand for office space is only one side of the coin, supply i.e. construction is the other side of the coin. In the TOP 7 office markets office construction has increased by 150,000 sqm yoy in 2018 to 800,000 sqm which is on the five/ten-year historic average. At the same time demolition and/or building conversion remained on significant levels with 540,000 sqm for the total office market, which was however down by 18% yoy and on the lowest level since 2013. For the TOP 7 office locations the volume of demolition and/or building conversion declined by 7% yoy to 460,000 sqm in 2018, i.e. the positive net effect from new constructions amounted to only 360,000 sqm in 2018. TOP 7 Office markets As Godewind focuses on the TOP 7 locations in Germany we want to give a short update on these seven metropolitan areas. Generally these market have all benefited from the positive economic development in Germany in recent years which can be seen by a strong decline in vacancy rates and an increase in average rents. There remain however quite significant differences between those seven locations regarding rent levels, vacancy rates etc (pls note that all data cited below is from JLL). Berlin Berlin is the second largest office market in Germany with 20.28m sqm. Berlin’s office market has taken an impressive development during the last ten years which has been driven by the positive overall economic development and by Berlin having become the hot spot for start up companies in Germany. Vacancy rate has dropped to below 2% to 1.9% in Q1 2019, the lowest level among the TOP 7 office markets. Prime office rents have remained stable qoq at EUR 34 per sqm in Q1 2019 but are expected to further grow which is no surprise given the record-low vacancy rates. Completions have doubled yoy to EUR 74,700 sqm, by far the highest level among the TOP 7. Currently more than 1.3 sqm are under construction. Total take-up stood at 217,500 sqm in Q1, unchanged yoy. Cologne Cologne is the smallest market among the TOP 7 with only 7.79m sqm office space. It is also the market with the lowest rents (together with Stuttgart) with average prime office rent of only EUR 24.00 per sqm, slightly up by EUR 0.50 qoq. Vacancy rate has declined by 30 bps qoq to 3.0% and is expected to further decline. In Q1 2019 there have been basically no completions with only 2,000 sqm. Total take-up amounted to 76,000 sqm in Q1, which is an increase by 23% yoy, but in line with the quarterly average in 2018.

Düsseldorf Despite a decline by 40 bps qoq (-150 bps yoy) Düsseldorf remains with a vacancy rate of 6.5% the market among the TOP 7 with the highest vacancy in the office market. Average prime office rents remained stable qoq at EUR 28.00. With a stock of 9.16m of office space Düsseldorf is one of the smaller markets. There were quasi no completions in Q1 2019 with 1,600 sqm (2018: 91,800 sqm) but take-up was up by 22% yoy to 109,700 sqm, slightly above the quarterly average in 2018. Frankfurt Frankfurt has remained the most expensive office market in Germany with an average prime rent per sqm of EUR 40.0, stable qoq. Vacancy rate has slightly increased by 10 bps qoq to 6.4% (-100 bps yoy). With 11.6m sqm of office space Frankfurt is a mid-sized market in Germany. There were no completions in Q1 2019 (2018: 88,200 sqm) and take-up amounted to 105,700 sqm in Q1 2019, down by 31% yoy and one third below the quarterly average in 2018. Generally the Frankfurt office market is seen positively by many experts because of the possible upside from the Brexit, which could lead to a significantly higher demand for office space by banks.

Completions were in Q1 2019 down by 9% yoy to 16,500 sqm, take-up increased by 11% yoy to 135,000 sqm (-7% vs. the quarterly average in 2018). Munich Munich is the largest office market in Germany with 20.37m sqm. Prime office rents increased by EUR 0.50 qoq to EUR 39.50 the second-largest level among the TOP 7. Vacancy rate dropped by 30 bps qoq to 2.6% (-80 bps yoy). Like in other TOP 7 cities the level of completions was rather low in Q1 2019 with 4,200 sqm (2018: 290,500 sqm). Take-up declined by 16% qoq to 192,000 sqm, 21% below the 2018 quarterly average.

Financials

Godewind’s Financial Targets Godewind does not have any financial targets for the current year but has quite concrete financial targets for 2021 as can be seen from the table below.

Exhibit 50: Key Financial Targets

Source: Pareto Securities Research, Godewind

NAV is targeted to grow by c. 80% to EUR 684m. Main drivers should be 1) organic growth (mainly driven by the rent indexation of 1.5% to 2.0%), 2) capitalization of Godewind’s tax loss carryforwards and 3) Godewind’s asset management activities. The latter should contribute more than 80% to the targeted increase of EUR 304m. The smaller part should come from core (+) uplift, i.e. from vacancy reduction and uplift of the rents to market levels. The main part of the total increase is targeted to come from the value-add uplift from vacancy reduction and rent increases. With an average vacancy rate of 34.5% of the value-add portfolio the upside potential is quite meaningful.

Exhibit 51: NAV Bridge

Source: Pareto Securities Research, Godewind

We see these targets as ambitious but achievable if the market environment remains favourable. Nevertheless we do not overrate these targets as Godewind targets to further grow its portfolio via acquisitions i.e. NAV is likely to be well above the 2021 target of EUR 684m if Godewind succeeds in making additional property acquisitions. Rental Income Having started operations in May 2018 and having concluded the first transactions in Q4 2018, rental income was in 2018 with only EUR 0.6m on a very low level and did not reflect at all the profitability of the company’s real estate portfolio. In Q1 2019 Godewind booked a rental income of EUR 4.1m; as many

transactions were closed in Q1 2019, we expect Q2 to give a more adequate picture of Godewind’s portfolio. For 2019 we forecast a rental income of EUR 27.0m, the strong increase yoy being driven by Godewind’s portfolio expansion – note that we have not included any additional possible acquisitions in our forecast. Our rental income estimate is based upon an average vacancy rate of 20%. As Godewind has bought most of the properties in Q4 2018 and Q1 2019 we still calculate with a relatively high vacancy rate as it should take some time to reduce vacancies. With an average vacancy rate of 24% (as of June 2019) Godewind is well above the market average of between 2% and 7% of the TOP 7 locations (Q1 2019). For 2020e we expect rental income to increase by 61% yoy to EUR 43.5m. Key driver should be a reduction in the vacancy rate, we forecast a decline by 8%-pts. yoy to 12%. Additionally we forecast Godewind to be able to close the gap of its average rent vs. market rent levels. This should be driven by renting out new space at market rent level (which is above the average portfolio rent) and being able to increase the rent for those contracts which mature in 2019. For 2021e we expect a similar development like in 2019e i.e. vacancies should further decline by 7%-pts. yoy to 5% while average rent per sqm should continue to increase. Hence, we forecast rental income to increase by 10% yoy to EUR 47.9m.

Exhibit 52: Development of Vacancy rates Exhibit 53: Development of rental income

Source: Pareto Securities Research, Godewind Source: Pareto Securities Research, Godewind

EBIT In 2018 Godewind achieved an EBIT of EUR 3.9m which was mainly driven by valuation gains of EUR 10.8m. For 2019e we expect EBIT to strongly increase to EUR 88.8m, mainly driven by valuation gains which should amount to EUR 76.6m (9% of its property value). These should be mainly driven by portfolio improvements, measured by a reduction in vacancy rates, higher WALT and higher average rents. An improved underlying earnings performance should also contribute positively but to a much smaller extent. Despite the strong increase in rental income, administrative costs should increase by only 16% yoy to EUR 8.7m. There are several reasons for this less than proportionate increase in costs:

1. Base effect I: In 2018 personnel expenses were negatively impacted from costs for share-based payments in an amount of EUR 1.27m (equivalent to 31% of total personnel expenses). We expect costs for share-based payments to be significantly below the 2018 level in 2019.

2. Base effect II: Godewind booked EUER 1.3m costs of aborted transactions in 2018 (equivalent to 38% of other operating expenses). It should be quite normal that not all planned acquisitions are successfully executed but the 2018 costs of EUR 1.3m were extraordinarily high in our view. Hence, we expect them to come down in 2019e.

3. High scalability of the business model: As Godewind has outsourced its property/facility management it has a lean cost structure which is highly scalable, i.e. additional real estate properties require only limited additional costs, mainly some headcount investments.

Valuation gains should decrease by EUR 13% yoy to EUR 66m in 2020e (7% of its property value) as the portfolio improvements should be somewhat less pronounced than in 2019e. This P&L line tends to be volatile and therefore difficult to forecast. Hence, we prefer being too cautious rather than too optimistic.

Exhibit 54: EBIT Development (EUR m) Exhibit 55: Development of valuation gains (EUR m)

Funding costs and LtV As of Q1 2019 (i.e. excluding the acquisition of City Gate in Frankfurt) net LtV stood at 48% at Godewind. Total debt amounted to EUR 397m with a maturity of around 4 years, average interest cost stood at 1.39%. Taking into account the latest acquisition in Frankfurt we forecast funding costs of EUR 6.2m for 2019e, for 2020e we expect a slight increase to EUR 6.6m, as some properties have been bought in Q1/Q2 2019 i.e. the full funding costs will become only effective in 2020e. Note that we have once again not included any additional acquisitions in our forecasts. We forecast a net LtV of c. 50% for 2019e, for 2020e we forecast a slight improvement to c. 47% due to valuation gains and earnings retention. With a net LtV of below 50% we see Godewind conservatively funded to secure low funding costs going forward. We would prefer Godewind to keep its funding costs at 50% or slightly below as we have the impression that investors prefer real estate companies with a rather modest LtV. Net Profit & Dividend In 2018 Godewind reached a net profit of EUR 9.4m. For 2019e we forecast net profit to increase to c. EUR 80m, the strong valuation gains being the main driver. Due to Godewind’s high level of tax loss carry-forwards we forecast a tax rate of only 5% for 2019e and of 7% for 2020e. Minorities which result from Godewind’s 90% stake in FAC, should remain insignificant below EUR 1.0m. In 2020e net profit should increase by 5% yoy to EUR 84m, the increase in the rental income should be offset by a lower valuation gain. Godewind targets to pay out at least 60% of its FFO as dividend to shareholders. Assuming a payout ratio of 60% for 2019e and 2020e each we forecast a dividend per share of EUR 0.04 and EUR 0.13 for 2019e and 2020e, respectively. NAV Godewind’s NAV amounted to EUR 396m at the end of 2018. For 2019e we expect an increase by 24% yoy to EUR 493m which should be mainly driven by valuation gains following the first-time consolidation of most of the acquired assets in 2019. Additionally Godewind’s annual regular valuation of its investment portfolio should lead to valuation gains given the fact that Godewind

seems to be quite successful in reducing vacancy rates and increasing average rents and WALTs – improvements of these KPIs have a direct positive impact on the calculated value of the investment properties. For 2020e we forecast an increase of the NAV by 16% yoy to EUR 573m. valuation gains being the main driver; once again we have not taken any additional acquisitions into account. On a per share basis we expect Godewind’s NAV to increase by 18% to EUR 6.01 (CAGR 2018-2021e).

FFO Godewind reported a negative FFO I of EUR 3.8m for 2018, in Q1 it has already reached a positive FFO I of EUR 1.6m as the acquired real estate properties contributed positively. For 2019e we expect an increase of the FFO I to EUR 6.6m, higher rental income being the main driver. In 2020e we expect the FFO I to strongly increase by 250% yoy to EUR 23.2m due to the increase in rental income while general administrative costs should remain more or less stable yoy.

Risk informationThe risk of investing in certain financial instruments, including those mentioned in this document, is generally high, as their market value is exposed to a lot of different factors such as the operational and financial conditions of the relevant company, growth prospects, change in interest rates, the economic and political environment, foreign exchange rates, shifts in market sentiments etc. Where an investment or security is denominated in a different currency to the investor’s currency of reference, changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of or from that investment to the investor. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Estimates of future performance are based on assumptions that may not be realized. When investing in individual shares, the investor may lose all or part of the investments.

Conflicts of interestCompanies in the Pareto Securities Group, affiliates or staff of companies in the Pareto Securities Group, may perform services for, solicit business from, make a market in, hold long or short positions in, or otherwise be interested in the investments (including derivatives) of any company mentioned in the publication or report.In addition Pareto Securities Group, or affiliates, may from time to time have a broking, advisory or other relationship with a company which is the subject of or referred to in the relevant Research, including acting as that company’s official or sponsoring broker and providing investment banking or other financial services. It is t he policy of Pareto to seek to act as corporate adviser or broker to some of the companies which are covered by Pareto Securities Research. Accordingly companies covered in any Research may be the subject o f marketing initiatives by the Investment Banking Department.

To limit possible conflicts of interest and counter the abuse of inside knowledge, the analysts of Pareto Securities Research are subject to internal rules on sound ethical conduct, the management of inside information, handling of unpublished research material, contact with other units of the Group Companies and personal account dealing. The internal rules have been prepared in accordance with applicable legislation and relevant industry standards. The object of the internal rules is for example to ensure that no analyst will abuse or cause others to abuse confidential information. It is the policy of Pareto Securities Research that no link exists between revenues from capital markets activities and individual analyst remuneration. The Group Companies are members of national stockbrokers’ associations in each of the countries in which the Group Companies have their head offices. Internal rules have been developed in accordance with recommendations issued by the stockbrokers associations. This material has been prepared following the Pareto Securities Conflict of Interest Policy.

The guidelines in the policy include rules and measures aimed at achieving a sufficient degree of independence between variou s departments, business areas and sub-business areas within the Pareto Securities Group in order to, as far as possible, avoid conflicts of interest from arising between such departments, business areas and sub-business areas as well as their customers. One purpose of such measures is to restrict the flow of information between certain business areas and sub -business areas within the Pareto Securities Group, where conflicts of interest may arise and to safeguard the impartialness of the employees. For example, the Investment Banking departments and certain other departments included in the Pareto Securities Group are surrounded by arrangements, so-called Chinese Walls, to restrict the flows of sensitive information from such departments. The internal guidelines also include, without limitation, rules aimed at securing the impartialness of, e.g., analysts working in the Pareto Securities Research departments, restrictions with regard to the remuneration paid to such analysts, requirements with respect to the independence of analysts from other departments within the Pareto Securities Group rules concerning contacts with covered companies and rules concerning personal account trading carried out by analysts.
