TTL publishes Annual Report 2023

• Market environment in the commercial real estate market remains challenging
• Earnings performance significantly influenced by investment in Branicks Group AG
• No dividend payment planned

TTL Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG ("TTL AG", "TTL") (ISIN DE0007501009) published its results for the financial year 2023 on June 28, 2024. Transaction activity on the German investment market for commercial real estate in 2023 was characterized by the difficult financing environment and the unfavorable macroeconomic environment. This presented TTL with major challenges in the 2023 financial year. As a result, earnings contributions were significantly lower than in the previous year.

Development of TTL shareholdings in 2023
The operating performance of TTL's portfolio companies varied in 2023.

The investment in Montano Real Estate GmbH ("Montano") successfully concluded transactions in the office, retail, logistics and public social infrastructure asset classes relevant to the company with a total volume of EUR 270 million. At EUR 0.54 million, Montano's contribution to earnings was only slightly down on the previous year (previous year: EUR 0.55 million).

The indirect investment Branicks Group AG ("Branicks", formerly: DIC Asset AG) closed the 2023 financial year on a subdued note. Assets under management amounted to EUR 13.2 billion at the end of the 2023 financial year (2022: EUR 14.7 billion). This decline was due to sales and valuation effects of -6.0 percent. Branicks reorganized its financial structures in 2023 and in the first months of the 2024 financial year, thereby setting the course for a sustainable, financially stable future for the company.

Branicks development impacts the result
Due in particular to the negative annual result of Branicks and further impairments of financial receivables and investments, which the Executive Board carried out for reasons of risk provisioning, TTL Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG ("TTL") recorded a negative financial result of EUR -13.8 million (previous year: EUR -0.6 million) and a negative consolidated result (according to IFRS) before taxes of EUR -14.0 million (previous year: EUR -0.9 million) for the 2023 financial year. The annual result after taxes amounted to EUR -15.1 million (previous year: EUR -0.9 million).

"2023 was an extremely challenging year for TTL. We have acted consistently in response. Our strategy of focusing on reliability and stable partnerships is proving its worth," says Theo Reichert, CEO of TTL AG. "For us, 2024 is now all about consolidation."

No dividend payment planned
Against the backdrop of the longer than expected stagnation on the transaction market and in view of the short and medium-term maturities of existing financing, the Management Board felt compelled to take measures to stabilize the financial situation and decided to propose to the Supervisory Board that no dividend payment be made for the 2023 financial year. Instead, the cost-cutting course already initiated at the beginning of 2023 is to be systematically continued.

Outlook
For 2024, we assume that the general conditions on the commercial real estate market will not improve before the end of the year. We therefore also expect a negative consolidated result before taxes and non-recurring items of EUR -5.9 million to EUR -6.4 million for the current financial year. We are therefore not planning to actively pursue any investment opportunities in the current financial year.
