The Real Estate Industry

With more than 20 percent of national income before the automotive and engineering industries, the real estate industry is one of the largest economic sectors in Germany. The dynamic business environment opens up new growth opportunities, but also brings with it new challenges and risks. Market participants must ensure that they anticipate developments in the markets at an early stage. Therefore, their success depends to a large extent on valid market information. PwC’s Real Estate Monitor provides monthly information on key capital market benchmarks that highlight current trends in the real estate industry.

Real Estate Benchmarks

PwC Real Estate Index

The Index shows the development of respective peer group (residential and commercial) companies’ stock prices on a monthly basis. Stock price data per company within the respective peer group is collected from S&P Capital IQ and reflects the closing price of the day after adjustment for stock splits.

WACC

The WACC is the rate of return required by investors (both debt and equity) taking into account the systematic risk characteristics inherent in the business. The derived WACC is an average value of a peer group of German listed real estate companies as well as its global counterpart.

EBITDA Multiple

The EBITDA Multiple is a financial indicator that relates the enterprise value of a company to its EBITDA. We have derived the EBITDA Multiple based on last twelve month available EBITDA and the capitalized value for each company within the peer group (residential and commercial).

Real Estate KPIs

Relative valuation level based on sector-specific key figures

In order to gain insight into the changes in value of 17 major players in the German real estate market, we have analysed the sector-specific Real Estate KPIs FFO 1 and EPRA NTA from the financial periods FY2022, FY2023 and TFQ2024 (TFQ: Trailing Four Quarters). We have put the share prices as of the balance sheet dates 31 Dec 2022, 31 Dec 2023 and 30 Sep 2024 in relation to the above-mentioned key figures from the corresponding financial periods. The resulting average ratios by segment are shown in the figures below.

FFO 1 multiples and Price/EPRA NTA ratios by segment

The table below shows the individual FFO 1 multiples and Price/EPRA NTA ratios of our peer group by segment. The key figures relate to the financial periods FY2022, FY2023 and TFQ2024 and the share prices as of 31 Dec 2022, 31 Dec 2023 and 30 Sep 2024.

Reading example: TAG Immobilien AG was valued by the market at 13.5x of its FFO 1 as of 31 Dec 2023, whereas on 30 Sep 2024, it was valued at 17.1x of its FFO 1.
