Phoenix Spree Deutschland (PSDL): Positive return to core strategy

Driven by a continuing housing shortage, Berlin residential property rents and condominium prices have continued to increase over the past year. Having successfully weathered the now repealed rent restrictions, we expect Phoenix Spree Deutschland (PSD) to continue to extract the significant value embedded in its portfolio successfully despite the uncertainties of rising inflation and interest rates and war in Ukraine.

 

The discount to NAV that emerged with the Mietendeckel has narrowed, but remains at c 27% based on FY21 EPRA NTA per share. We estimate that the discount may be c 33% if all assets split into condominiums were valued as such.

Phoenix Spree Deutschland - Accelerating the unlocking of value

While the Berlin private rental market continues to be strong, Phoenix Spree Deutschland (PSD) has adapted its historical rent reversion strategy to the changes in market conditions. It plans a material increase in condominium sales, intended to accelerate the unlocking of value embedded in the portfolio, reduce borrowings and better position the company for refinancing in 2026. In this report we analyse in detail the potential impacts of this strategy on earnings, NAV and gearing, but, given th...

Phoenix Spree Deutschland - One city but two tales

Phoenix Spree Deutschland’s (PSD’s) trading update contrasts the strength of the Berlin private rental sector, reflected in PSD’s increased rents and low vacancy, with the subdued investment market, which continues to weigh on property valuations. Positively, sales of individual condominiums picked up in H223, underlining the strong premium to rental values. Full year results, to 31 December 2023, are due in late April.

Phoenix Spree Deutschland - To buy or to rent?

A trading update from Phoenix Spree Deutschland (PSD) shows that the core rental business remained strong in H123 although property values declined further, and transactions activity remains subdued. It notes some recent signs of improved buyer interest in the condominium market, but it remains too early to call a turn. We will review our estimates when interim results are released in late September. H123 rental growth is ahead of our expectations but revaluation indicates downwards pressure on ...

Phoenix Spree Deutschland - Stress-testing the challenges

Phoenix Spree Deutschland’s (PSD’s) core rental business continues to perform well as the demand-supply balance for Berlin rented residential accommodation remains tight. However, the challenging economic backdrop has negatively affected property values, NAV and condominium sales. While DPS has been paused to maintain cash flow for value-creating portfolio investment, PSD remains conservatively financed, with 83% of debt costs fixed/hedged and no debt maturities until 2026.

While German macroeconomic conditions are challenging, the fundamental demand-supply balance for Berlin rented residential accommodation remains robust. Phoenix Spree’s (PSD’s) FY22 property values and NAV declined, but condominium sales continue to generate a strong premium to book value. We expect rental growth also when results are released in March, as the company continues to harvest strong rent reversion.
