and joint ventures.

period.
7 The LTV was calculated without taking into account the cash and cash equivalents of the dividend for the 2024 financial year in the amount of €200.7 million, which was paid
out on 3 July 2025. Taking into account the total liquidity available as at 30 June 2025, this would result in an LTV of 37.6%.
8 Due to the first-time adjustment of FFO for non-cash interest expense, the previous year’s figures have been adjusted accordingly.

Letter from the
Executive Board
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, DEAR READERS,
I would like to take this opportunity to look back
on the first half of 2025, in which our operating
business performed broadly in line with expec-
tations.
Visitor numbers in our shopping centers fell
by 1 % year-on-year, but our tenants’ sales
increased by 1.3 %. Like-for-like minimum con-
tractual rents increased by 0.5 %. The second
quarter was positive in terms of footfall and
retail sales compared with the same period last
year, while the first quarter was below the level
of the same period last year due to calendar and
weather effects. Overall, the first half of the year
saw a satisfactory performance.
Our revenue declined slightly by 1.1 % to €131.4
million, while net operating income (NOI)
decreased by 3.0 % to €103.2 million due to
higher center operating expenses. EBIT fell to
€103.9 million (-3.2 %). Increased contractual
rents in the first half of 2025 were offset by
higher deferrals and one-off allocation and cost
effects, which reduced revenue, NOI and EBIT
overall. EBT (excluding measurement gains/
losses) was down 8.4 % at €75.1 million, largely
due to an increase of €3.9 million in interest
expense. Due to increased contractual rents,
we posted a measurement gain of €10.3 mil-
lion, representing an improvement of nearly
€23 million. As a result, consolidated profit for
the period rose significantly to €69.8 million, an
increase of 17.3 % compared to the first half of
the previous year. EPRA earnings and FFO per
share came to €0.92 and €0.98 respectively,
down from €1.06 each in the previous year.
A key event of note in the first half of the year
was the opening of the new Food Garden at the
Main-Taunus-Zentrum (MTZ) on 10 April. Span-
ning some 9,000m², this modern, architecturally
striking and sustainably designed food court has
significantly enhanced the quality of visits to the
center. The number of visitors to the MTZ has
increased by over 17 % since it opened – clear
evidence of the strong customer response to the
new offering. The MTZ remains one of Germany’s
top shopping centers in terms of footfall and
retail sales.
Another major milestone was the successful
placement of our first green bond in June 2025.
The €500 million bond, which matures in October
2030, was oversubscribed seven times – a clear
vote of confidence on the part of institutional
investors in our business model, ESG strategy
and financial strength. We are using this bond
issue to broaden our funding base and create
additional scope for sustainable investment. The
Hans-Peter Kneip,
CEO/CFO
“A major milestone for
us was the successful
placement of our first
green bond.”

net proceeds will be used for general corporate
financing and to support eligible green projects
in line with our Green Finance Framework.
At our Annual General Meeting on 27 June 2025,
we set a clear course for the future. Our share-
holders approved all of the items on the agenda
by a large majority, paving the way for a dividend
payment of €2.65 per share for the 2024 financial
year. At the same time, we are bidding farewell
to Reiner Strecker, a long-standing colleague
whose dedication and inspiring commitment
helped play a key role in the development of
Deutsche EuroShop over the years. The inter-
nationally renowned real estate expert Peter
M. Ballon will succeed him as Chairman of the
Supervisory Board.
In light of our performance in the first half of the
year, which developed broadly as expected, we
confirm the full-year forecast for 2025 as pub-
lished in March.
Thank you for the confidence you have placed
in us.

Half-year Financial Report as at 30 June 2025
Basic information
about the Group
GROUP BUSINESS MODEL
Deutsche EuroShop is an Aktiengesellschaft (public com-
pany) under German law. The Company’s registered office
is in Hamburg. Deutsche EuroShop is the only public com-
pany in Germany to invest solely in shopping centers in
prime locations. A total of 21 shopping centers in Germany,
Austria, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are held
in the real estate portfolio. The Group generates its reported
revenue from rental income on the spaces it lets in the
shopping centers.
The shopping centers are held by independent companies,
with Deutsche EuroShop holding stakes of 100% in 16 shop-
ping centers and between 50% and 95% in the other five.
The operational management of the shopping centers is
contracted out to external service providers under agency
agreements.
The Group managing company is Deutsche EuroShop AG. It
is responsible for corporate strategy, portfolio and risk
management, financing and communication. The Deutsche
EuroShop Group has a central structure and lean personnel
organisation.
The share capital amounted to €76,464,319.00 as at 30 June
2025 and was composed of 76,464,319 no-par value reg-
istered shares. As at 30 June 2025, Deutsche EuroShop AG
held 720,465 treasury shares, which confer no rights to the
Company in accordance with Section 71b AktG. The notional
value of each share in the share capital is €1.00.
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY
The management focuses on investments in high-quality
shopping centers in urban centers and established loca-
tions offering the potential for stable, long-term value
growth. A key investment target is the generation of high
surplus liquidity from leases in shopping centers, of which
a significant portion can be paid out to shareholders in the
form of an annual dividend. To this end, the Company invests
its capital in shopping centers in different European regions
in accordance with the principle of risk diversification. Ger-
many is the main focus of investment. Indexed and revenue-
linked commercial rents ensure that high earnings targets
are achieved.
Deutsche EuroShop aims to take advantage of favourable
financing conditions while expanding and diversifying its
pool of funding sources to mitigate risks. Accordingly, the
capital and financing structure is continuously and purpose-
fully refined. The Company funds its investment activity
through secured loans from a range of lenders as well as
unsecured capital market instruments. Deutsche EuroShop
holds an investment-grade rating, which enables it to issue
bonds and comparable alternative instruments. The Com-
pany takes steps to maintain and further improve this rat-
ing in order to remain flexible in an environment of fluctu-
ating interest rates and generally tighter lending
requirements. As a result, and depending on market con-
ditions, we expect the Group’s loan-to-value (LTV) ratio to
fluctuate between 40 % and 50 %.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Executive Board of Deutsche EuroShop AG manages
the Group in accordance with the provisions of German
company law and with its rules of procedure. The Executive
Board’s duties, responsibilities and business procedures
are laid down in its rules of procedure and in its schedule
of responsibilities.
The Group targets shopping centers with sustainable and
stable value growth and a high liquidity surplus generated
from long-term leases. These parameters are then used to
derive relevant management indicators (performance indi-
cators). These are revenue, earnings before interest and
taxes (EBIT), earnings before taxes (EBT) excluding meas-
urement gains/losses, and funds from operations (FFO).

Economic review
MACROECONOMIC AND
SECTOR-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
According to the German Federal Ministry for Economic
Affairs and Energy (BMWK), momentum in the German
economy slowed in the second quarter after a brisk start
to the year. Despite more optimistic business expectations,
industrial output and order intake remain volatile. Foreign
trade dampened growth, as exports – particularly to the
US– declined, following advance effects seen in the first
quarter. The domestic economy presented a mixed picture:
declining retail sales were offset by rising private car reg-
istrations and higher revenue in the hospitality sector.
Ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and a persistently weak
labour market are continuing to weigh on consumer confi-
dence. All in all, the recovery failed to gather further pace
in the second quarter – partly due to fading one-off effects
and ongoing uncertainty surrounding US trade tariffs. The
inflation rate edged down slightly to +2.0 % in June com-
pared with June of the previous year.
In Germany, Deutsche EuroShop’s main market, gross
domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.1 % in the second quar-
ter of 2025 when adjusted for price and calendar effects,
after having risen by 0.3 % at the start of 2025. In a year-
on-year comparison, GDP in the second quarter of 2025
was 0.4 % higher than in the second quarter of 2024 when
adjusted for price and calendar effects. The unemployment
rate at the end of June 2025 was 6.2 % (previous year:
5.8 %).
The market research company GfK was unable to identify
a clear trend in consumer confidence in Germany in June
of the year under review. Expectations regarding the econ-
omy and personal income improved, while willingness to
make purchases remained largely unchanged and the sav-
ing ratio increased. Following three consecutive increases,
consumer confidence saw a slight dip. This was mainly
driven by the higher savings ratio, which counteracted the
positive momentum from improved income expectations.
According to preliminary figures from Germany’s Federal
Statistical Office (Destatis), retail sales in June 2025 rose
by 1.0 % in real terms (adjusted for prices and calendar/
seasonal effects) and by 0.8 % in nominal terms (unad-
justed) compared with May 2025. Compared with June 2024,
revenue increased by 4.9 % in real terms and by 5.8 % in
nominal terms. In the non-food retail segment, revenue
(adjusted for calendar and seasonal effects) in June 2025
was up 1.8 % in real terms and 1.4 % in nominal terms
compared with the previous month. Compared with June
2024, revenue in this segment increased by 7.4 % in real
terms and by 7.7 % in nominal terms. Online and mail-order
retail in June 2025 saw revenue grow by 9.0 % in real terms
and 8.5 % in nominal terms compared with the previous
month. Year-on-year, revenue improved by 20.4 % in real
terms and 19.9 % in nominal terms.
According to real estate consultancy Savills, commercial
and residential real estate worth around €13.3 billion
changed hands in Germany in the first half of 2025. This
represents a 13 % decline compared with the same period
last year. The retail property transaction volume amounted
to €3.0 billion in the first half of the year, and was likewise
down 13 % year-on-year. According to BNP Paribas Real
Estate, shopping centers accounted for 16 % of the retail
property transaction volume, largely due to the sale of
Designer Outlet Berlin and a number of smaller shopping
center investments. In the limited number of core segment
transactions observed by Savills during the last quarter,
prime yields remained unchanged from the previous quar-
ter. As a result, prime yields for shopping centers remain
steady at 5.8 %.

REVENUE DOWN YEAR-ON-YEAR
Revenue fell slightly by €1.5 million (-1.1 %) compared to
the first half of 2024. While contractual rents increased
slightly (+0,5 %) compared to the previous year, revenue
from rental income fell slightly overall due to rental incen-
tives granted. These are to be spread over the term of the
rental agreements. Revenue from land tax apportionments
and insurance expenses fell by €0.7 million, largely as a
result of the land tax liability of our shopping centers going
down after land tax reforms.

CENTER OPERATING EXPENSES UP ON PREVIOUS
YEAR
Center operating expenses, which mainly comprise center
management fees, non-apportionable ancillary costs, land
taxes, building insurance and maintenance, came to €24.3
million in the reporting period, up 10.1 % on the previous
year. This was largely due to one-off expenses related to
non-apportionable ancillary costs associated with the
renewal of technical equipment and storm damage. The
expenses mentioned above have already been reimbursed
by the building insurance provider. In contrast, land tax
expenses have fallen sustainably due to the lower land tax
liability following the land tax reforms.
DECREASE IN NECESSARY WRITE-DOWNS
Write-downs and the derecognition of receivables decreased
compared to the previous year by €0.5 million (11.0 %) to
€3.8 million.
NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI)
Net operating income (NOI) went down by 3.0 % to €103.2
million due to a slight decline in revenue and an increase
in operating and administrative costs for property.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES
Other operating income – stemming primarily from income
from rental receivables for which impairment losses had
been recognised in previous years, additional payments
with respect to ancillary costs and the reversal of provi-
sions – amounted to €5.1 million, a higher figure than in the
first half of the previous year (€4.6 million).
Other operating expenses, which mainly comprised general
administrative costs and personnel costs, increased to
€4.4 million. This was due to an upturn in both personnel
costs and legal and consultancy fees, incl. those related to
the rating process and the bond issue.
EBIT DOWN SLIGHTLY COMPARED TO PREVIOUS
YEAR
At €103.9 million, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)
were slightly lower than in the previous year (€107.4 mil-
lion). This was mainly due to higher center operating
expenses, in addition to a slight decline in revenue.
DECREASE IN FINANCIAL GAINS/LOSSES AS
EXPECTED
Financial gains/losses (excluding measurement gains/
losses) came to €-28.8 million, down from €-25.3 million in
the previous year. This was largely attributable to a €3.9
million increase in interest expense. This was affected by
the June 2024 loan increases for the Allee-Center Hamm
and the Allee-Center Magdeburg, as well as by first-time
borrowing in August 2024 for the Rathaus-Center Dessau.
Interest income came to €1.6 million, slightly lower than in
the previous year (€2.2 million). Other financial expenses
of €0.8 million were attributable to Stadt-Galerie Hameln
and were related to a swap agreement coming to an end
after the loan being repaid in full.
DOWNTURN IN EBT (EXCLUDING MEASUREMENT
GAINS/LOSSES)
As a result of the fall in financial gains/losses and the slight
decline in EBIT, EBT (excluding measurement gains/losses)
fell by 8.4 % to €75.1 million (previous year: €82.1 million).
MEASUREMENT GAIN DUE TO RISING
CONTRACTUAL RENTS
Property values experienced a slight improvement in
the first half of 2025, resulting in a measurement gain of
€10.3 million incl. the increased investments in the real
estate portfolio. Due to rising contractual rents, real estate
appraisals have stabilised and, after years of declining val-
uations, there has been a slight increase in the value of the
real estate portfolio for the first time.
After minority interests, €9.5 million was attributable to the
measurement of the real estate assets reported by the
Group, and €0.8 million to the measurement of the real
estate assets of joint ventures accounted for using the
equity method.
The changes in market value of the individual real estate
values ranged from -2.8 % to +3.6 %. The occupancy rate1
was 94.5 %, 0.9 percentage points lower than on the most
recent reporting date. The EPRA occupancy rate increased
from 93.3 % to 94.7 %.
TAXES ON INCOME AND EARNINGS
Taxes on income and earnings went up slightly to €-3.4
million (previous year: €-3.0 million). Expenses from
deferred taxes, resulting mainly from a rise in market val-
ues and the systematic depreciation of the tax balance
sheet values of our real estate assets, amounted to €12.2
million (previous year: €6.9 million).
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER CONSOLIDATED PROFIT
Consolidated profit was €10.3 million higher than in the first
half of the previous year (€59.5 million) at €69.8 million.
This was driven by an increase in measurement gains/
losses. Earnings per share increased from €0.78 to €0.92.
SLIGHT FALL IN EPRA EARNINGS
EPRA earnings, which exclude measurement gains/losses,
fell by €10.7 million or €0.14 per share. This was largely
due to the lower EBIT and the fall in financial gains/losses.
1 The occupancy rate is based on floor space, whereas in the previous year it was
based on market rents, which corresponds to the definition of the EPRA occu-
pancy rate.

DEVELOPMENT OF FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO)
Funds from operations (FFO) are used to finance our ongo-
ing investments in portfolio properties, scheduled repay-
ments on our long-term bank loans and as the basis for the
distribution of dividends. Significant non-recurring effects
that are not part of the Group’s operating activities are elim-

FINANCIAL POSITION AND NET ASSETS
NET ASSETS AND LIQUIDITY
On 18 June 2025, Deutsche EuroShop issued a €500 million
green bond. This bond is listed on the Euro MTF market of
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The bond has a term of
5.3 years, matures on 15 October 2030, and bears an annual
interest rate of 4.5%. Ahead of the issue, Deutsche EuroShop
received a long-term issuer rating of BB+ (stable) from
Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings (S&P). The bond itself was
rated Investment Grade at BBB- by S&P.
At €4,770.7 million, the Deutsche EuroShop Group’s total
assets saw a significant increase compared to the last
reporting date. This increase was largely driven by the rise
in cash and cash equivalents (€+383.4 million), which were
boosted by the proceeds from the bond issue after repay-
ments of existing loans. Financial liabilities also saw a
marked rise in connection with the green bond.

EQUITY RATIO OF 42.3%
The equity ratio (incl. shares held by third-party share
holders) declined from 49.2 % at the last reporting date to
42.3 %. This was primarily due to the approved distribution
of dividends for the 2024 financial year totalling €200.7
million and the issuance of the bond. It remains at a robust
level.
LIABILITIES
As at 30 June 2025, current and non-current liabilities
increased by €327.9 million to €2,136.3 million, mainly as
a result of the green bond issued in June. This was partially
offset by the full repayment of loans for the Herold-Center
Norderstedt and Stadt-Galerie Hameln. All loan and bond
covenants were met as at 30 June 2025.
Non-current deferred tax liabilities increased by €12.3 mil-
lion to €363.2 million due to additional provisions. Other
current and non-current liabilities and provisions increased
by €194.1 million. This was mainly driven by a €200.7 mil-
lion liability for the payment of the dividend for the 2024
financial year which was approved by the Annual General
Meeting of Deutsche EuroShop AG on 27 June 2025. The
dividend was paid on 2 July 2025.
NET TANGIBLE ASSETS ACCORDING TO EPRA
Net tangible assets (NTA) as at 30 June 2025 came to
€2,077.9 million, down by €120.1 million on the figure at
year-end 2024 (€2,198.0 million) due to the dividend pay-
ment approved on 27 June 2025. NTA per share fell accord-
ingly by €1.59 from €29.02 to €27.43 per share (-5.5 %).

OUTLOOK
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW),
there is a glimmer of light at the end of the economic tunnel
for Germany. Economic growth is expected to be somewhat
stronger this year than previously forecast. This is reflected
in the IfW’s summer outlook, which now anticipates a mod-
est increase in GDP of 0.3 % for the current year (spring
forecast: 0.0 %). However, overall economic momentum is
expected to remain subdued for the time being, particularly
in view of potential headwinds caused by US trade policy.
Leading indicators support the IfW’s view that, following a
two-year downturn, the industrial sector has now bottomed
out – albeit at a low level. The upturn in the overall economy
is being driven primarily by domestic factors. After a two-
year dry spell, private consumption is rising again, and busi-
ness investment is gradually turning positive. Exports, on
the other hand, are expected to decline once again this year
by around 0.4 %. Although the brisk pace of private con-
sumption seen at the start of 2025 is unlikely to be main-
tained, it is expected to increase by around 1.0 % over the
full year. According to the ifo Institute, numerous indicators
suggest that the German economic crisis reached its worse
point in the winter of 2024/2025. Rising real incomes are
driving gains in purchasing power, and are increasingly
being spent rather than saved. The ifo Institute has revised
its inflation forecast for 2025 down by 0.2 percentage points
to 2.1 %, largely due to falling energy prices. There are also
some early positive signs emerging in the labour market.
Employment is expected to pick up slightly in the coming
months as the economic situation gradually recovers. How-
ever, job growth is likely to remain limited due to demo-
graphic factors. From 2025 onwards, the number of people
of working age will decline. The current unemployment rate
is 6.3 %, up from 6.0 % the previous year.

EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL POSITION
The first half of 2025 saw operating business progress
largely according to plan. Increased contractual rents were
offset by higher deferrals and one-off allocation and cost
effects. In addition, Deutsche EuroShop AG successfully
placed its first green bond in June 2025, with a nominal
value of €500 million and a coupon rate of 4.5 %. This will
lead to a decline in financial gains/losses. We are therefore
reiterating our forecast for the 2025 financial year:
�Revenue: €268–276 million
�Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT):
€209–217 million
�Earnings before taxes (EBT) excluding
measurement gains/losses: €150–158 million
�Funds from operations (FFO): €145–153 million

DIVIDEND
At the Annual General Meeting on 27 June 2025, the Exec-
utive Board and Supervisory Board proposed a dividend
distribution of €2.65 per share for the 2024 financial year.
The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal. The
dividend was paid out on 2 July 2025.
RISK REPORT
On 18 June 2025, Deutsche EuroShop successfully issued
a bond with a nominal value of €500 million. Ahead of the
issue, Deutsche EuroShop received a long-term issuer rat-
ing of BB+ (stable) from S&P Global Ratings. The new bond
was given an Investment Grade rating of BBB- by S&P.
FINANCING RISK
As at the reporting date, the Group’s financing consisted of
long-term loan agreements and a long-term corporate
bond, each with fixed interest rates. Currently, no new
finance or refinancing is planned (not until 2026). This
means that, from today’s perspective, the Group is not
exposed to any significant level of financing risk. We are
constantly monitoring the interest rate environment so as
to be able to react appropriately to interest rate changes.
Financing risk is mitigated by concluding long-term instru-
ments with maturities or fixed interest periods generally in
the order of five to ten years and fixed interest rates. Inter-
est rate levels are materially determined by underlying
macroeconomic and political conditions and therefore can-
not be predicted by the Company. There is a risk that refi-
nancing for loans and corporate bonds may only be avail-
able at higher interest rates than before. This would
negatively impact FFO.
In order to secure refinancing on reasonable terms in the
future — particularly for unsecured corporate bonds — it
is essential for Deutsche EuroShop to maintain an Invest-
ment Grade rating. Any deterioration in this rating could
adversely affect the conditions for refinancing maturing
corporate bonds, which in turn would negatively impact
FFO.
Deutsche EuroShop is required to comply with certain finan-
cial covenants (Net Loan-to-Value Ratio, Net Secured Loan-
to-Value Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio), reporting obliga-
tions and other commitments in connection with corporate
bonds. A failure to comply with these obligations could trig-
ger termination rights and payment obligations relating to
the corporate bonds. In their capacity as borrowers, the
consolidated subsidiaries are also required to comply with
14
Half-year Financial Report as at 30 June 2025
14
various predefined financial indicators (financial covenants)
and other obligations or agreements. As of the reporting
date, borrowers within the Deutsche EuroShop Group are
required to meet 35 conditions. These conditions, which are
reviewed on a regular basis, could limit the Deutsche
EuroShop Group’s ability to finance its future operating and
capital needs as well as to pursue acquisitions and other
business activities. The ability to meet these conditions is
dependent on a number of factors, some of which may be
beyond the Group’s control, such as a downturn in the indus-
try and real estate markets or the inaccuracy of assump-
tions used for long-term planning and forecasts. Failing to
comply with a financial covenant could have serious con-
sequences for the Deutsche EuroShop Group. If subsidiaries
of Deutsche EuroShop AG breach a financial covenant or
another restrictive agreement, lenders could, under certain
circumstances, demand the early repayment of a specific
percentage of the loan amount, withhold funds, or terminate
the respective financing agreement prematurely.
An economic and financial crisis, the substantial indirect
repercussions of geopolitical crises on the operations and
cash flow of retail properties, as well as pronounced inten-
sification of online competition or stricter regulation of the
financial sector could lead to a significant deterioration of
banks’ lending policies with respect to credit margins,
financing terms and expiries, and loan conditions. These
factors also have the potential to make it more difficult to
issue bonds and alternative financing instruments. Insol-
vencies of real estate companies could also have a negative
impact on confidence in the real estate sector and therefore
on banks’ lending practices and the capital market. The
eventualities would negatively affect the earnings and finan-
cial position of the Company and FFO. Under extreme cir-
cumstances, the financing market could dry up altogether.
The possibility cannot be completely excluded that, due for
example to a deterioration in the results of operations of
individual property companies or a change in lending policy,
banks may not be prepared to provide refinancing.
The Deutsche EuroShop Group responds to this financing
risk by concluding long-term loan agreements, using the
capital market, avoiding the accumulation over time of loan
maturities, maintaining a robust corporate rating and
observing appropriate debt ratios. Furthermore, the Group
maintains long-term business relationships with a large
number of capital market investors and investment, com-
mercial and mortgage banks in its target markets in order
to secure the best possible access to financing.
The Deutsche EuroShop Group occasionally uses derivative
financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting to
hedge interest rate risks. These interest rate swap trans-
actions transform variable interest rates into fixed interest
rates. An interest rate swap is an effective hedge if the prin-
cipal amounts, maturities, repricing or repayment dates,
the interest payment and principal repayment dates, and
the basis of calculation used to determine the interest rates
are identical for the hedge and the underlying transaction,
and the party to the contract fulfils the contract. The Com-
pany counters the risk of default through stringent exami-
nation of its contract partners, the majority of which are
also lenders. Interest rate swaps and the underlying trans-
action are generally reported as one item in the annual
financial statements. Financial instruments are not subject
to liquidity or other risks. A test of effectiveness for the
hedges described is implemented regularly.
Both the potential impact of this risk and the probability of
occurrence are still considered low.
Since the beginning of the financial year, there have been
no other significant changes to the information provided in
the risk report of the combined management report as at
31 December 2024 (see Annual Report 2024, p. 152
onwards). We do not believe that the Company currently
faces any risks capable of jeopardising its continued exist-
ence.

pretations during the reporting period did not have a mate-
rial impact.
Basis of consolidation
No acquisitions or disposals took place during the reporting
period. For further details on the basis of consolidation,
please refer to the consolidated financial statements as at
31 December 2024.
Accounting policies and valuation methods
The following accounting policies and valuation methods
were applied when preparing the interim consolidated
financial statements as at 30 June 2025:
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Financial liabilities – comprising primarily bank loans and
overdrafts, and corporate bonds – are measured at fair
value on initial recognition, taking into account directly
attributable transaction costs and any premiums or dis-
counts. This corresponds to cost. Subsequently, financial
liabilities are measured and reported at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
The accounting policies and valuation methods applied are
otherwise consistent with those used in the preparation of
the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December
2024.

Investment properties (IAS 40) have been measured at fair
value. A valuation as at 30 June 2025 was provided by the
independent appraiser Jones Lang LaSalle SE (JLL) in
accordance with the guidelines issued by the Royal Institu-
tion of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). JLL previously provided
a valuation as at 31 December 2024. The discounted cash
flow method (DCF) was used for both valuations. For a
detailed explanation of the DCF method, please refer to our
2024 Annual Report, starting on p. 185. A Level 3 valuation
methodology was used in line with the fair value hierarchy
under IFRS 13.

The appraisal showed that for the first half of 2025, the real
estate portfolio had a net initial yield before transaction
costs of 6.52 % compared with 6.61 % in financial year 2024,
and a net initial yield after transaction costs of 6.14 % com-
pared with 6.24 % in 2024. The EPRA net initial yield for the
first half of 2025 came to 5.89 % (previous year: 5.84 %).

Financial liabilities relate to loans raised to finance property
acquisitions and investment projects, in addition to corpo-
rate bonds. Land charges on Company properties totalling
€1,643,255 thousand (previous year: €1,808,374 thousand)
serve as collateral.
The fall in bank loans and overdrafts is primarily related to
the unscheduled repayment of loans for the Herold Center
Norderstedt (€119.3 million) and Stadt-Galerie Hameln
(€23.8 million).
Liabilities related to corporate bonds comprise the amor-
tised cost of the green bond issued in June 2025 with a
nominal value of €500 million and a coupon rate of 4.5 %.
The green bond matures on 15 October 2030.
The terms of the bond include a maximum net debt ratio
(bond LTV) of 60.0 %, a maximum secured net debt ratio
(bond secured LTV) of 45.0 % and an interest coverage ratio
(bond ICR) of at least 1.8. As at 30 June 2025, the bond LTV
was 41.8 %, the bond secured LTV was 29.9 % and the bond
ICR was 4.7. Loan agreements also include covenants which
must be met at a property or property company level. These
include debt service cover ratios (DSCRs), interest cover
ratios (ICRs), changes in rental income, the equity ratio, the
leverage ratio and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.
As at 30 June 2025, all loan covenants were met. Based on
current planning and estimates, the loan conditions will
also be met in 2026.

SEGMENT REPORTING
Segment reporting by Deutsche EuroShop AG is carried out
on the basis of internal reports that are used by the Exec-
utive Board to manage the Group. Internal reports distin-
guish between shopping centers in Germany (“domestic”)
and other European countries (“abroad”).
As the Group’s main decision-making body, the Executive
Board of Deutsche EuroShop AG first and foremost assesses
the performance of the segments based on revenue, EBIT
and EBT excluding measurement gains/losses. The meas-
urement principles for segment reporting correspond to
those of the Group.
To assess the contribution of the segments to the individual
performance indicators as well as to the Group’s perfor-
mance, the income, expenditure, assets and liabilities of the
joint ventures are included in internal reporting in propor-
tion to the Group’s share in the same. Similarly, for subsid-
iaries in which the Group is not the sole shareholder,
income, expenditure, assets and liabilities are only consol-
idated in proportion to the corresponding Group share. This
results in the segments being divided as follows:

The adjustment of the proportionate consolidation of the
joint ventures and subsidiaries in which the Group does not
own a 100% stake is carried out in the reconciliation col-
umn. Deferred tax liabilities are considered by the Executive
Board of Deutsche EuroShop AG cross-segmentally and are
therefore included in the reconciliation column for segment
liabilities. Accordingly, the goodwill from the acquisition of
Olympia Brno was allocated to the reconciliation column of
the segment assets. The reconciliation column also contains
the companies that are not allocated to either of the two
segments (Deutsche EuroShop AG, DES Management GmbH
and DES Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG).
In view of the geographical segmentation, no further infor-
mation pursuant to IFRS 8.33 is given.

Half-year Financial Report as at 30 June 2025
24
With the exception of derivative financial instruments and
other financial investments measured at fair value, financial
assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Due
to the predominantly short-term nature of trade receivables
and payables, other assets and liabilities, and cash and cash
equivalents, the carrying amounts as at the reporting date
do not deviate significantly from the fair values.
The fair values of financial liabilities measured at amortised
cost correspond to the cash values of debt-related pay-
ments based on current interest rate yield curves (Level 2
in accordance with IFRS 13).
The derivative financial instruments measured at fair value
are interest rate hedges. Here, the fair value is equivalent
to the cash value of future net payments expected to be
received from hedging transactions (Level 2 in accordance
with IFRS 13) based on current yield curves.
RELATED PARTIES FOR THE PURPOSES OF IAS 24
There has been no change in related party relationships
since the most recent consolidated financial statements.

THE SHOPPING CENTER SHARE
After closing 2024 at €18.501, Deutsche EuroShop’s share
traded sideways in the first few weeks of 2025 within a
relatively narrow range between €18.00 and €19.00 before
a positive breakout in the second half of March. In line with
the prevailing global trend, the share then came under sig-
nificant pressure amid tariff-related discussions, reaching
its lowest point in the first half of the year at €17.26 on
7 April 2025. This was followed by a strong upward trend,
particularly in the second half of June. The share hit its high
for the reporting period on 25 June 2025 at €23.20. The
closing price for the first half-year stood at €20.45 on
30 June 2025, which also marked the ex-dividend date. Tak-
ing into account the dividend of €2.65 per share for financial
year 2024 which was distributed two days later, this corres
ponds to a performance of +25.1 %. The small cap index
SDAX rose by 28.1 % over the same period. Deutsche
EuroShop’s market capitalisation stood at €1.56 billion at
the end of June 2025.
