Summit Germany Limited
2016 Half Year Results
We are pleased to present the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2016 for Summit Germany Ltd and its subsidiaries ("the Group").
In the first six months of 2016, we have completed acquisitions exceeding 40m of fully-let, well located assets, which made an immediate contribution to both net rent and Funds from Operations (FFO), and have added interesting opportunities to enhance returns and unlock value through our intensive asset management in the near future.
The refinancing of existing facilities through new ten-year credit facilities totalling 73m have allowed us to secure a fixed low interest rate over the long term underpinning the long term stable cash flow of the portfolio.
We have cash on hand to finance further portfolio growth and will continue to appraise prospective additions. We will however maintain our strict acquisition criteria of focusing on assets with strong income characteristics, or where we see genuine potential to apply our asset management skills to unlock latent value.
H1 2016 Highlights:
Results
Portfolio development
Financing
secured post the period end, provided for a ten-year term at a fixed interest of 2.1% p.a. and
3.5% p.a. amortisation.
Dividend
Post reporting period the Group announced and paid its first dividend for 2016 in the amount of 4.65m, reflecting 1.00 cent per share. We intend to keep paying quarterly dividends.
Harry Hyman, Chairman commented: "I'm very pleased to report another solid half which supports a further increase in the dividend. The new credit facilities at historically low fixed interest rates secure our long term cash flows, while recently completed and ongoing portfolio initiatives should underpin attractive returns for our shareholders over the next few years."
Zohar Levy, Managing Director commented: "These results provide more evidence of consistent delivery in line with our stated investment and growth strategy, in a dynamic real estate market backed by one of the world's most stable economies. The new assets acquired in the first half have enhanced the quality of our portfolio and tenant complement. With our well-established, proven portfolio investment and management, we expect to be able to continue and ratchet up portfolio and shareholder returns".

Chairman's and Managing Director's Report
We are pleased to present the Group results for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
These figures reflect a robust performance from our portfolio, while profitability and FFO were enhanced by contributions from the initial rents from the 40.5m of fully-let, well located assets acquired during the first quarter. These immediately benefited our bottom line.
EPRA NAV at the end of June 2016 was slightly ahead over the first six months at 432.6m (FY 2015: 427.5m). There was however, no external valuation at the half-year. The increase reflects an FFO contribution of 18.2m, mostly offset by a revaluation loss of 6.9m related to an asset in Hamburg (see below) and the 4.42m payment of the final quarterly dividend for FY 2015 announced at the end of the first quarter of 2016. EPRA NAV per share was also slightly ahead at 93c (FY 2015: 92c).
The above mentioned revaluation loss relates to the reappraisal of one specific property in Hamburg, where the tenant will not renew its lease at expiry. The valuers updated their appraisal to reflect required repairs and new letting assumptions and determined that value should be marked down by 6.9m. We believe that this negative impact is a specific adjustment to this property, as the property is well located and the planned refurbishment will bring it up to a very high standard.
The Net Market Value (NMV) of the portfolio as at 30 June 2016 was 772.3m (FY 2015: 735.3m). The increase during the first half mainly reflects the new acquisitions, net of disposals of smaller properties and assets held for disposal.
Portfolio growth targets high quality assets and strong tenants
Our core strategy is focused on improving profitability and cash flow via the acquisition and active management of a portfolio of German commercial properties. We target high quality assets let to strong tenants, which generate sustainable net rent and enable us to steadily build net cash flow and generate growing FFO.
We believe that our key differentiator and source of competitive advantage is our in-house asset management platform. This combines an experienced team with a proven ability to identify and capitalise upon market opportunities as they arise, supported by state-of-the-art systems. Our team has the expertise to manage newly acquired and longer held portfolio assets, and work closely and creatively with tenants to improve net returns for our shareholders.
The benefit of acquisitions completed during H2 2015 and H1 2016 is reflected in the reported 31% year-on-year increase in rental income to 28.9m in the period to end June 2016 (H1 2015: 22.1m, FY 2015: 49.6m), and a 28% increase in gross profit to 26.7m.
Rental growth is attributable to the stable performance of the underlying portfolio - in place at the end of June 2015 - plus the initial contributions from newly acquired properties in each of the following six-month periods. The 40.5m of acquisitions completed during the interim period will make their first full contribution in H2 2016.
This also contributed to the operating profit of 14.7m, which was just 3.5% ahead of the prior six-month period (H1 2015: 14.2m, FY 2015: 92.7m) due to the temporary (non-cash) adjustments to the fair value of the investment portfolio of 8.8m. On a cash basis, however i.e. adding back the (non-cash) adjustments, operating profit was 23.5m (H1 2015: 17.6m, FY 2015: 37.4), 34% ahead of the corresponding period last year.
As recent acquisitions have been funded from existing cash resources and debt facilities, all at historically low fixed interest levels, rental growth flowed through to cash profit and contributed to the FFO. The FFO continued to grow steadily in H1 2016 and amounted to 18.2m, 48% ahead of the equivalent period last year (H1 2015: 12.3m, FY 2015: 28.8m). FFO per share increased to 3.9 cents (H1 2015: 2.8 cents, FY 2015: 6.4 cents) despite the increase in weighted average shares in issue.
| FFO | 'mm |
| Gross profit | 26.7 |
| G&A expenses | -3.5 |
| Interest expenses, net | -5.0 |
| FFO | 18.2 |
| Weighted ave. amount of shares (million) | 465 |
| FFO per share (cents) | 3.9 |
We regard cash generation and moreover, FFO as the most meaningful indicator of portfolio performance, as it illustrates our ability to finance portfolio growth, asset management and a progressive dividend. The increase in FFO puts us in a strong position to cover capex on our existing assets and financial expense, including agreed debt amortisation.
The increase in FFO also contributed to higher PBT at 9.6m for the first six months of the current year (H1 2015: 2.3m loss, FY 2015: 70.9m). Future profits will benefit as well from lower cost of funding recently refinanced debt.
| PBT | 'mm |

| G&A expenses | -3.5 |
| Fair value adjustments of investment properties | -8.8 |
| Financial expenses (net) | -5.1 |
| Other | 0.3 |
| Profit Before Taxes | 9.6 |
EPS was ca. 11.1% lower year-on-year at 1.6 cents (H1 2015: 1.8 cents and FY 2015: 15.9 cents adjusted for non-recurring costs), that was due in part to the 7% increase in weighted average shares in issue to 465m (H1 2015: 434m shares, FY 2015: 450m shares).
| EPS | 'mm |
| Net profit | 7.7 |

| Earnings Per Share (cents) | 1.6 |
Finance costs reduced as new debt facilities are secured
We continue to look at opportunities to reduce borrowing costs on a long term basis and retain flexibility to adjust our debt profile, in order to take advantage of changes in lender criteria. We may, for example, see an advantage in agreeing to borrow at lower LTV or higher amortisation, if it results in lower fixed cost repayments over a longer term, or in less restrictive loan covenants.
Progress during the first half included attractive financings of new acquisitions (further described below) and the refinance of a bank loan secured upon our property complex in Stuttgart, where the existing ca. 24m facility was replaced by a new 40m ten-year debt provided by a German lender at a fixed 2.25% interest rate and 4.15% annual amortisation rate. In August, post the half-year end, a further 3.85m of new debt was agreed with the same lender also secured on this office complex. This new facility also has a ten-year term and was agreed at 2.1% p.a. fixed interest and 3.5% p.a. amortisation rate.
The table below sets out the main details of the Group facilities at the end of June 2016 which reflect a low average interest rate of 2.78% (H1 2015: 2.92%):

Property portfolio overview
The Group portfolio at the end of June 2016 comprised a net lettable area of ca. 887,000 sqm on approximately 1,422,000 sqm of land. The net annualised rent roll of the aggregate portfolio was 60.3m at that date. That is equivalent to 7.8% p.a. net yield, generated from 102 properties with ca. 650 tenants. Rent is either linked to CPI or subject to agreed fixed uplifts.
Assuming full occupancy, the portfolio would generate ca. 69m p.a. net, which would be equivalent to an 8.9% p.a. yield on current book value. Current aggregate portfolio occupancy is ca. 87% and includes assets held for redevelopment at a future date.
| Type | No. of Assets | Land Size (sqm'000) | Lettable Area (sqm'000) | Vacant Area (sqm'000) | Net Rent (mn) | Rent/sqm/month | Capital Value (/sqm) | Yield |
| Office | 52 | 659 | 541 | 76 | 44 | 7.8 | 1,060 | 7.6% |
| Retail | 33 | 223 | 89 | 17 | 7 | 7.9 | 937 | 8.2% |
| Logistic | 17 | 540 | 257 | 21 | 10 | 3.5 | 448 | 8.6% |
| Total | 102 | 1,422 | 887 | 114 | 60 | 6.5 | 871 | 7.8% |
The majority of the current portfolio was acquired in 2006-7 and 82% of the income is derived from strong tenants. It is multi-let with no dependency on key tenants. It is as well diversified from sector and geographical perspectives, as further illustrated below.
In line with our strategy to focus on the office segment, offices have become by far the largest component of the portfolio, comprising 74.3% of the NMV and 72.2% of the Net Rent as at end June 2016 (H1 2015: 66.1% and 63.1% respectively).
| Offices | Logistic | Retail | Total NMV |
| 573.7 | 115.0 | 83.5 | 772.3 |
| 74.3% | 14.9% | 10.8% | 100% |
The average rent/sqm per month is set out in the table below, with comparison between distinct commercial sectors.

Geographically, the portfolio is located mainly in Germany's key commercial centres. More than half of the portfolio's income is derived from Germany's four main cities, Berlin (19%), Frankfurt (15%), Hamburg (12%) and Stuttgart (10%), with another 9% from Cologne, Dusseldorf and Munich combined. The largest ten properties account for 35% of the portfolio's income and 82% of the lettable area is in the former West Germany.
The Group is engaged in residential projects in Berlin, carried out by joint-ventures (JV) with an experienced specialist developer, as further explained below. These JVs seek to create product suitable to meet strong and growing demand for residential apartments in Berlin. It provides an opportunity to use surplus land within existing sites and convert commercial assets for residential use, although it will also finance purchase of land for this purpose. The Group typically receives interest on the funds loaned to the JVs and a share of the project profit from sales of residential units.
Acquisition strategy remains on track, subject to strict return targets
We have cash on hand to finance further portfolio growth and we continue to appraise potential additions; however, we will maintain our strict acquisition criteria focusing on assets with strong income characteristics at prices which in our view are below open market value, or where we see genuine potential to apply our asset management skills to unlock latent value.
Further to that, we have identified opportunities to increase net rental income and unlock capital value through intensive asset management. This may include using own resources for refurbishment and redevelopment over the short and medium term.
Details of the properties acquired in the first half are set our below. We committed 40.5m to the purchase of three office properties and see all as excellent strategic fit, well-located and with stable income. They were acquired based on our view that they represent attractive capital values. As the consideration was settled with a combination of cash and long term secured debt at all-in low fixed rates and agreed loan amortisation, the transactions made an immediate positive contribution to the Group's cash flow in the first half of the year, although the full benefit will be reflected in H2 2016.
| Date of Acquisition | Details | Rent ('mm) | Debt Service ('mm) | CoC / FFO Yield |
| 1 February 2016 | Offices in Munich and Duisburg | 1.2 | 0.5 | 15.0% / 22.4% |
| 24 March 2016 | Offices in Frankfurt, Oberursel | 1.8 | 0.9 | 13.0% / 19.4% |
More detail on the individual assets acquired is set out below.
Munich/Duisburg
In February we completed the acquisition of two office properties in Munich and Duisburg. These added ca. 12,000 sqm of lettable space to the portfolio which is currently fully let to several strong tenants with a 6.5 years weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT).
These two assets generate ca. 1.2m p.a. of aggregate net rent and were financed from a combination of existing cash and a new 10.5m ten-year debt facility provided by a German bank. The interest rate has been fixed at 1.8% p.a. for the duration of the loan together with 3% p.a. amortisation resulting in a 15% cash return on invested equity, and a remarkable 22.4% FFO return.
Frankfurt, Oberursel
In March we completed the purchase of an office building complex in Oberursel, a prosperous suburb of Frankfurt. This complex consists of ca. 18,000 sqm of lettable space on a ca. 19,000 sqm site, centrally located in a residential area.
The complex generates net rent and NOI of ca. 1.8m and is fully let to a listed German construction industry company with a strong credit rating. It occupies ca. 60% of the space as its headquarters, with the remainder sublet to other tenants. The WAULT for the entire building is 11.4 years' duration.
This acquisition was financed from existing cash, and a new ten-year 18.5m debt facility provided by a German bank, at a 2.26% fixed interest rate and 2.5% annual amortisation. The terms of this transaction are equivalent to a 13% cash return on invested equity and a 19.4% FFO return.
Our preliminary assessment of this asset's potential indicates that the existing plot contains space for residential development. In addition, it will be feasible to convert part of the existing office space when vacated into residential units, to create additional value.
Asset sales remain a core component of portfolio strategy
Part of our investment strategy includes disposals of small and non-strategic properties, in order to improve the portfolio's overall profile and prospects. We sold four small assets in H1 2016 for ca. 3.6m, all at prices within range of their book value.
This both improves the underlying strength of our portfolio and releases cash which we will progressively reinvest in assets with better growth prospects in strong locations.
New residential development in Berlin
In May we announced that we had engaged in a new joint venture for the development of a residential project in Berlin. This JV has acquired an existing building which it intends to convert into 60 apartments. The anticipated investment for the entirety of this latest project is 18m, and sales of apartments are expected to generate revenues of 23m.
This is the latest in a series of JVs which seek to capitalise upon the ongoing demand for residential property in Berlin. The projects, both those already in progress or under consideration are all located in high demand residential neighbourhoods.
The first project is 98% sold, with presales for the second and third projects at 85% and 52% respectively. Our fourth JV project is in its preliminary stages and further development schemes are under consideration. More detail on this is set out in Note 13a of these accounts.
Dividend
The Group has paid quarterly dividends at increasing rates since listing, most recently 1.00 cents per share in August 2016 in respect of the first quarter of the current year, reflecting an annualised dividend yield of 5.71% on the 2015 placing share price of 70 cents.
The Group anticipates announcing an increased distribution for Q2 2016, in line with the strategy set out in previous statements.
Outlook
We are particularly excited by the potential to extract significant value from our most recent acquisitions. We remain very comfortable with the outlook for German commercial property and the potential to further expand our portfolio, although the rate of acquisition led growth is difficult to predict, as we will only pursue assets which we believe can deliver our total return criteria.
Our strategy does not rely on the underlying market for portfolio growth. We have seen significant variance in reported growth in commercial rental values between regions during the first half of the year. Two of Germany's top seven office locations reported higher average market rents in H1 2016 while the others were broadly flat. We nonetheless expect many of our specific asset locations to benefit from improving regional markets and although reported growth in asset values has been more moderate recently, performance at the property level has been robust. Therefore, we still anticipate further rent increases and yield compression driven by active asset management, which will benefit portfolio value and cash flows.
Germany is regarded as one of the world's most stable real estate investment markets. Although domestic commercial property investment volumes during the first half were some 14% below the same period last year, the performance within the underlying markets which represent our core focus has been very stable.
It has also been largely unaffected by recent EU crises and whilst we clearly intend to track Brexit negotiations very closely, we do not currently intend to alter our investment strategy or expect Brexit to materially impact occupancy or investment decisions. There is undeniable potential for the UK's decision to unsettle investment markets, but we have not seen any impact on our portfolio so far. Indeed, we see an argument for Germany's core office markets to increase demand for space over the next few years if international firms decide to relocate all or a proportion of their operations from London to German financial centres.
We remain committed to further portfolio growth through acquisition, refurbishment and redevelopment and have cash available for this purpose. In spite of lenders' willingness to provide further debt, we retain a relatively conservative financing strategy, limited to low LTV and rent income underpinned by strong covenants.
We remain confident in our ability to deliver attractive income and capital returns for our shareholders by capitalising on the Group's existing assets, and the experience of a talented asset management team to take advantage of opportunities in one of the world's prime real estate markets.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO SUMMIT GERMANY LIMITED
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and related notes 1 to 13. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly report in accordance with the AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European union and the AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: GENERAL
Summit Germany Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together: the "Group") is a German property specialist company. The Company was incorporated and registered in Guernsey on April 19, 2006. The parent company of the Group is Summit Real Estate Holdings Ltd (hereinafter: "SHL"), a company registered in Israel.
The Group owns, enhances and operates commercial real estate assets in Germany including office buildings, logistic centers and others, which are leased to numerous commercial and industrial tenants. The Group invests primarily in such properties that provide substantial income flows and potential for value increase through asset management. The Group does not acquire properties for speculative purposes.
NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation:
The annual financial statements of Summit Germany Limited are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
Going concern
The directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed financial statements.
Application of new and revised international Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
In the current financial year, the Group has adopted the following Amendments to IFRSs :
· IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (Disclosure of Information Elsewhere in the Financial Reporting):
The Amendment clarifies that information appearing in the interim financial reporting, but not within the financial statements themselves, must be included by a reference from the interim financial statements to the other location in the interim financial reporting, available to the users of the reports, under the same terms and time as in the financial statements. The Amendment is implemented retrospectively for annual period commencing on January 1, 2016.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of Group's accounting policies which are described in Note 2 to the annual accounts, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty:
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the consolidated statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed in the annual accounts.
Revaluation of investment properties:
The Group carries its investment properties at fair value, with changes in fair values being recognised in the profit or loss. The Group engages independent valuation specialists to determine fair value of investment properties on an annual basis. The valuation technique used to determine fair value of investment properties is based on a discounted cash flow model as well as comparable market data.
The determined fair value of the investment properties is sensitive to the estimated yield as well as the long term vacancy rate. See note 4 for further information.
Taxation
Uncertainties might exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the Group's international business relationships and the nature of contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. In previous years the Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. (See also note 17 to the annual accounts).
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Cont.)
Acquisition of assets
In regard to the transactions detailed in note 4, the Group management and the Directors have reviewed the characteristics of the transaction and the properties over which control was regained by the Group, in accordance with the requirements of IRFS3(R). Although control over corporate entities was gained as a result of the transaction, these entities were special purpose vehicles for holding properties rather than separate business entities - this judgment was made mainly due to the absence of business processes inherent in these entities. Consequently, the Directors consider that the transaction meets the criteria of acquisition of assets and liabilities rather than business combination, and accounted for the transaction as such.

The investment properties are stated at fair value. The fair value represents the amount at which the assets could be exchanged between a willing buyer and willing seller in an arm's length transaction at the date of valuation, after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. Valuations are prepared by external valuators at least once a year and more frequently when significant changes to properties' value are identified. The valuations are performed using the income capitalisation method, which is a valuation based model on the present value of expected Net Operating Income per property. Real estate valuations are based on the net annual cash flows after capitalisation by discounted rates that reflect the specific risks inherent in property activity. During the period, the Company obtained an opinion letter from its external valuer indicating no major change in overall portfolio value except for the change recorded above.
a. Disposal during the period
(1) As of 31 December 2015 properties valued at approximately 3.6 million were classified as held for sale. During the reporting period these properties were sold for a consideration similar to their carrying amount.
(2) As of 30 June, 2016 properties valued at approximately 1.3 million were classified as held for sale.
