Moody's confirms Ba2 rating for DEMIRE

Langen, 3 June 2020. The global rating agency Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) has confirmed the corporate issuer rating of DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG (ISIN: DE000A0XFSF0) at "Ba2" with a "stable outlook" in the course of a regular rating review.

"The confirmation of the rating by Moody's shows that our business model with a broadly diversified portfolio remains highly stable even in economically challenging times," explained Tim Brückner, CFO. In its assessment, Moody's points to the generally increased business risks due to the expected recession for Germany in 2020. The rating agency justifies DEMIRE's stable Ba2 rating with a reduced level of debt, positively developing portfolio ratios and the company's greater financial security. With the rating stance "stable outlook", Moody's underlines the assessment that, due to DEMIRE's good risk structure, the rating would not be affected even in an increasingly difficult market environment with possible declining rental income and property valuations.

Thanks to a well-structured refinancing strategy, DEMIRE was able to reduce the average nominal interest rate on debt in 2019 by about 120 basis points to 1.80 percent as of 31 March 2020. The net loan-to-value ratio (LTV) also fell to 45.4 percent at the end of March 2020. "In the medium term, DEMIRE continues to aim for an investment grade rating," concludes Tim Brückner.
