Topic: Yesterday, DEMIRE upgraded its FY25 outlook following postponed disposals and stronger cost discipline. The shift of planned transactions into 2026 leads to a higher-than-expected portfolio size, resulting in increased rental income and FFO. In addition, operating and administrative costs were kept below plan, further supporting earnings. The update follows previous indications that the disposal pipeline was under review and several transactions remained delayed. Management now projects rental income
at the upper end of the previous range of
€ 52-54m (eNuW: € 55m) and lifted the
FFO I expectation to € 9-11m (old: € 5-7m; eNuW old/new: € 7.8m/€ 9.2m). This represents a material upgrade (+67% at mid-point for FFO) compared to the earlier guidance, which had assumed further meaningful disposals in H2’25 (eNuW: € 25-40m). The revised outlook is consistent with the latest quarterly trends as 9M FFO I already came in at € 8.3m. The postponement of asset sales means rental income remains supported by a
higher asset base, partially offsetting the elevated vacancy (17.4% at 9M). While vacancy remains above the medium-term target (<10%), management reiterates that leasing progress and selective capex should support future occupancy. In fact,
letting performance has also shown sequential improvements (112k sqm YTD). As previously discussed, the company needs to redeem € 50m of its corporate bond in ‘25 and ‘26 to avoid penalty fees under the refinancing agreement. The shift of disposals into 2026 means that this threshold will not be met this year, as communicated before, implying a 3% penalty. However, this is only partly P&L relevant in 2025 and cash-relevant only at maturity. The company continues to prepare 2026 disposals to meet the next threshold (eNuW: >€ 75m at ±0% BV discount). While the guidance upgrade shows that
commercial real estate in B and C locations is still not a seller’s market (Q3 still deal volume still 70% below Q3’22 level), it also displays the resilience of DEMIRE’s cash generation despite refinancing constraints and elevated vacancy.
Cost discipline continues to support margins even in this difficult environment, and the larger portfolio base provides temporary earnings relief until market conditions allow acceptable pricing for disposals. Shares remain deeply discounted currently trading 75% below the company’s NAV. We thus continue to recommend
BUY, especially for investors focused on special situations, and keep our
PT unchanged at € 1.00 based on our NAV model. You can download the research here:
