DEMIRE achieves a valuation gain of EUR 73 million Langen, 10 January 2022. DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG (ISIN: DE000A0XFSF0) has had its portfolio valued by the external appraiser Savills on a regular basis as of 31 December 2021. Based on the preliminary valuation, which is yet to be confirmed by the auditor, the fair value of the real estate portfolio as at the end of 2021 is calculated at EUR 1,415.4 million. This corresponds to an appreciation over the previous year's value of EUR 73.1 million or 5.4% and results in a gross rental yield of 5.5%. These values do not include the Cielo property in Frankfurt, as it is accounted for using the equity method. The positive valuation result is mainly driven by two factors. Some properties initially affected by the Corona pandemic achieved significant valuation gains compared to the previous year, especially in the hotel and retail sectors. These had been partially devalued in the previous year due to the uncertainty in connection with the pandemic. Besides that, numerous properties, but especially the logistics property in Leipzig, were upvalued after leasing successes. The company's forecast for the 2021 financial year is independent of the valuation result and is confirmed once again. Management expects FFO I (after taxes, before minorities) to exceed the previous year's figure of EUR 39.2 million. Rental income is expected to be at the upper end of the forecast range of EUR 80.0 to 82.0 million.
