Currently, Diok RealEstate AG (Diok) has further expanded its portfolio to 16 properties in German secondary locations. In fiscal year 2019, the company achieved a consolidated net income of almost €30 mln. Due to transaction costs related to the intense acquisition activity, operating cash flow amounted to €-3.8 mln. In FY 2019, the company invested €98 mln in properties, financed through the bond, bank loans and own funds.

Compared to the short FY 2018, in 2019 the GAV increased from €64.0 mln to €205.6 mln and the NAV more than quadrupled from €9.5 mln to €43.3 mln. At the end of the current FY 2020, we expect a gross portfolio value of around €390 mln and a close doubling of NAV to €82 mln.

The company continues to pursue its strategy of consistently expanding its portfolio of office properties in secondary locations for letting purposes and eventually sell them as a package at the end of the bond's term in 2023. The establishment of a critical mass increases the attractiveness and thus the visibility vis-à-vis large institutional, including international investors.

From today's perspective, we consider liquidity and thus the ability to service debt as robust. The B rating with "stable outlook" from S&P, which was awarded at the beginning of November 2019, confirms this view. Our model shows – assuming (gradual) full placement of the bond - that the portfolio can be expanded to about €1 bln by 2023.
