The Group’s total assets fell from € 93,255.3 million as of December 31, 2025, by € 1,255.8 million to € 91,999.5 million as of March 31, 2026.
The main development in non-current assets is the decline in investment properties of € 134.7 million. This is due, in particular, to reclassifications to assets held for sale in a combined amount of € -338.5 million. Modernization expenses of € 235.0 million were capitalized with the opposite effect.
The transactions with Apollo Capital Management L.P. relating to the disposal of shares in the Südewo portfolio of residential properties in Baden-Württemberg and a portfolio in northern Germany in the 2023 fiscal year gave rise to call options on these shares. These options were remeasured on March 31, 2026, resulting in a valuation of € 615.0 million. The adjustment affecting net income resulted in an expense of € 56.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 due to an increased cost of capital.
The drop in current assets can be explained by lower cash and cash equivalents, which fell by € 1,455.4 million. Other changes related to the increase in assets held for sale (€ 230.2 million) and in real estate inventories (€ 142.9 million).
On March 31, 2026, goodwill comprised 1.5 % of total assets (December 31, 2025: 1.5 %).
Total equity increased from € 32,167.7 million as of December 31, 2025, by € 204.1 million to € 32,371.8 million as of March 31, 2026. Key factors influencing this development in particular included the profit for the period of € 250.3 million and the other comprehensive income of € -46.5 million. The latter was particularly influenced by currency effects of € -56.4 million.
The equity ratio stood at 35.2 % as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025: 34.5 %).
