Peach Property Group AG ("Peach Property Group"), a real estate investor with investment focus on residential real estate in Germany, has published its H1 2025 results. The first half of 2025 was marked by the successful continuation of its balance sheet transformation and further progress in operational performance. With the partial repayment of around EUR 127 million of its EUR 300 million Eurobond maturing in November 2025, a secured credit facility of EUR 120 million in June 2025, and a capital increase in July 2025 generating gross proceeds of EUR 52 million, the Group was able to further strengthen its balance sheet structure. In August 2025, a long-term financing of EUR 410 million was secured with Castlelake, thereby securing the refinancing of key financial liabilities. As a result, the balance sheet transformation initiated in 2024 has been successfully completed.

Operating performance in line with expectations for H1 2025

The operating performance in the first half of 2025 was within expectations, although impacted by a few non-recurring effects from previous periods. On a like-for-like basis, rental income showed a positive development and increased by approximately 3% year-on-year. The residential vacancy rate in the Strategic Portfolio fell to 4.9% as of 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: 5.2%). Funds from Operations (FFO I) amounted to EUR 6.7 million in H1 2025.

For the first time, CBRE conducted the valuation of the property portfolio as of mid-year 2025 and confirmed the portfolio's value stability with valuation multiples of approx. 16x (target rent) and 18x (current rent). The market value of the property portfolio stood at EUR 1.94 billion as of 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 1.92 billion). Investments in the property portfolio amounted to around EUR 20 million in the first half of 2025. The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio was 52.2% as of 30 June 2025, dropping below 50% after the capital increase in July 2025. EPRA NTA was EUR 20.60 per share (31 December 2024: EUR 20.31), decreasing to EUR 17.80 per share after the July 2025 capital increase.

Outlook for 2025

As a result of the new financing arrangements, around EUR 340 million of secured debt will be repaid early. This leads to an adjustment in the FFO I guidance by approximately EUR 2 million to a new range of EUR 16 to 18 million. Net rental income is expected to increase by more than 4% on a like-for-like basis. Operationally, the focus remains on further reducing the vacancy rate in the Strategic Portfolio to below 4%. In the medium term, the company also aims to reduce the LTV to below 45%.

Gerald Klinck, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Peach Property Group:

"Our results in the first half of 2025 clearly show that we have delivered on our promises. Refinancing has been successfully secured, laying the foundation for the balance sheet transformation we initiated a year ago – while simultaneously demonstrating operational strength. Rising net rental income and a declining vacancy rate in our core portfolio showcase the substance and quality of our business. Following the successful balance sheet transformation, we are now fully focused on operational performance and the structured sale of the Non-Strategic Portfolio, thereby significantly contributing to the sustainable improvement of earnings and shareholder value."
