HAMBORNER REIT AG: Adjustment of dividend strategy

At today's Supervisory Board meeting, the Management Board and Supervisory Board of HAMBORNER REIT AG discussed the announced review of the future dividend policy.

Taking into account the revenue and earnings forecast for the 2025 financial year published in February 2025 and the increased cost estimates that are also expected in the medium term, the management and supervisory board members have agreed to reduce the payout ratio to between 60% and 70% of the operating result (Funds from Operations, FFO) generated in the respective financial year. Over the past ten years, the company has distributed an average of around 76% of the annual FFO.

Based on the midpoint of the most recently formulated forecast range for the operating result of €44.0 million to €46.0 million, the dividend for the 2025 financial year would accordingly amount to €0.33 to €0.39 per share.

The final amount of the dividend proposal will be determined by the Management Board and Supervisory Board after the business figures for the respective year are available and taking into account the underlying company and market situation, potential alternative investment opportunities at the respective distribution dates as well as the dividend yield and total return for shareholders. The company will continue to strive to offer attractive dividend distributions.

The previously announced dividend proposal for the past financial year 2024 remains unaffected by the adjusted strategy. At today's meeting, the Management Board and Supervisory Board approved the agenda for this year's Annual General Meeting on 26 June 2025, in which the distribution of a dividend at the previous year's level of €0.48 per share will be proposed.
