Off to a good start / Muted Q4'23 expected; chg

Yesterday, UBM announced to have received the building permit for the

Timber Peak project in Mainz. Once completed, the 12-storey-building will

exceed a height of 40 metres and will have c. 9,500 sqm gross floor area.

The building will be equipped with heat pumps, heating and cooling panels,

EV-charging for up to 40 car parking spaces, and intelligent building

automation technology which is recording consumption and energy efficiency

data systematically. Hence, users will be able to de facto automatically

fulfil the reporting obligations for the EU Taxonomy.

While construction is set to kick off end of February, the project is

expected to be completed in Q2'25e. As the window for forward deals is

almost closed at the moment, we do not estimate a revenue contribution

before Q3 '25e. The proceeds are seen in the range of EUR 60-65m (eNuW).

Muted Q4e. UBM is expected to publish FY23 prelims in early March (final

FY23 figures on April 11th), which look set to come in muted with sales of

EUR 87.9m (eNuW; eCons: EUR 97.6m) and an EBT of EUR -23.6m (eNuW; eCons: EUR

-21.4m). Mind you, that UBM did not execute major sales in 2023 given the

standstill on the real estate transaction market. Hence, sales were mainly

stemming from smaller disposals as well construction progress on projects

already sold (POC). Importantly, our FY '23e EBT estimate is still subject

to a certain degree of uncertainty which is due to the outcome of the YE

impairment test of the standing assets portfolio.

Macro headwinds are starting to ease. After six quarters of decreasing

transaction volumes, we observed first sequential improvements in Q3 (+11%

qoq) that continued in Q4 (+10% qoq) in Germany's Top-7. Paired with

declining financing rates (10y EUR swap rate is -81bps since 10/23) this

indicates that the trough has been reached. Yet, a slow but steady recovery

appears more likely than a rapid upswing, in our view. For UBM, this could

offer the opportunity to sell the Timber Pioneer, which would generate

proceeds of EUR 150m (eNuW; 75% UBM share). However, amid the still high

uncertainty, we factor only a 50% likelihood of this happening and leading

to our estimate of EUR 176m sales in FY24e (eCons: EUR 167m) and an EBT of EUR

18.3m (eCons: EUR 24.6m).

Given the compelling mid-term prospects as well as easing macros, the stock

remains a BUY with an unchanged PT of EUR 31.00 based on DDM.
