As at the end of 2015, the group’s balance sheet had more than doubled to EUR3.076bn (end of 2014: EUR1.416bn) reflecting the significant growth of ADLER. Furthermore, the Group’s equity more than doubled to EUR777.9m (end of the previous year EUR311.2m). Alongside the total profit for 2015, the increase can be attributed to the raising of non-cash capital carried out in connection with the takeover of Westgrund and to the mandatory convertible which due to its structure and Terms & Conditions is equity, issued in connection with the indirect acquisition of a stake in conwert. The equity ratio also increased to 25.3 per cent (previous year: 21.9 per cent). Loan-to-value (LTV) continued to improve as per the end of 2015 to c.68 per cent (end of 2014: 68.7 per cent) and the average cost of debt for the group (WACD) fell to 3.99 per cent (end of 2014: 4.7 per cent).

Adjusted for the one off effects from fair-value assessments as well as adjustments to take into account other special effects such as revenues from the negative difference from first-time consolidation of the housing company acquired in Wilhelmshaven, ADLER ‘s adjusted EBITDA has rose significantly from EUR27.2m in 2014 to EUR95.6m in 2015. This confirms the considerable advance in operating profit for ADLER. A further effect from the rise in proceeds was an increase in cash flow from current business operations to EUR24.97m compared to EUR16.75m for the previous year. “During the current year, we assume that proceeds from property lettings will continue to rise and that once again will publish strong result as the acquisitions carried out during 2015 will take full effect for the first time in 2016,” Arndt Krienen went on to point out. “Rental income should also improve thus leading to a further increase in our overall business results.” Further information on the consolidated financial statement can be found in the annual report of ADLER Real Estate AG for the 2015 business year, which is published on the ADLER website www.adler-ag.com).
