REALOGIS Group delivers strong result in 2022 and is positioned for sustainable growth

• Realogis Group brokers 1.251 million square metres of warehouse, logistics and industrial space* in Germany
• Market penetration: +70% increase in turnover over the last five years, +42.7% market share
• Industry: Demand for space remains high
• Occupiers: growth through innovation and investment in new and existing properties

Munich, 10 March 2023 - According to an analysis by Realogis - Germany's leading consultancy for industrial and logistics properties and commercial land - a total of 8.4 million m² of space was taken up in industrial, warehouse and logistics properties by all market participants in Germany in 2022, despite all adversities. This corresponds to a decline of 3% compared to the pandemic and outlier year 2021, in which the market recorded around 8.66 million m² of take-up in this segment for letting and owner-occupation.

Realogis again accounted for a large share of take-up in Germany in 2022. founded in 2005, the pioneer brokered take-up of 1.251 million m² to retail, e-commerce and production companies as well as logistics and freight forwarders in its 18th year of existence in this asset class with its eight branches in Germany (2021: 1.3 million m², -4%).

"In 2022, we exceeded our absolute 5-year average of 1.02 million m² by a significant 22.3%. Once again, our specialists have managed to consistently follow the group's DNA, excel in consulting and brokerage and successfully utilise the market conditions for the group," commented Umut Ertan, founder and shareholder of SCHWEIZER KAPITAL GRUPPE and majority shareholder of the Realogis Group.

Compared to 2018, the overall German market has grown by 19.1% from 7 million m² at that time to 8.4 million m² today. "During this period, take-up by Realogis increased by a significant 70% from 736,000 m² to 1.251 million m². In terms of market share, Realogis increased its market share by 42.7% to 14.9% in the same period," continued Umut Ertan.

Considering that not all new contracts are brokered - a conservative estimate is that 75% are facilitated by brokers** - the Realogis Group's market share of industrial, warehouse and logistics space take-up transacted purely by property consultants will be around 20% in 2022 as a whole. This means that every fifth square metre of space is concluded via Realogis. Realogis has maintained this level since 2020. Coming from 13.9% in 2018, this corresponds to an increase of 42.7% or 5.9 percentage points within five years.

"The demand for suitable space for securing and managing the transport, storage, provision, procurement and distribution of goods and energy in Germany, which is characterised by a growing population, remains high," reports Umut Ertan. "We are seeing many companies investing in functioning supply chains and therefore also in sustainable innovations, technology and diversification in new and existing logistics properties. In doing so, they are creating long-term growth opportunities, and Realogis is there to advise them with its transparency and market penetration."

The Realogis Group combines four core competencies - and thus the entire real estate cycle: from location analysis to the optimisation of expansion targets and the sale of assets that are no longer required for operations. This includes finding tenants with strong credit ratings for existing and new-build properties, supporting investors in property investments and in the development of greenfield and brownfield projects, as well as providing the perfect service for finding or selling properties and developing and implementing holistic property strategies.

While other property consultancies are currently laying off staff - as in other times of crisis such as the pandemic or the financial market crisis - the Realogis Group continues to hire employees and continuously trains its junior staff in property consultancy and office management.

In the area of environmental, social and corporate governance, Realogis has worked with KARMAPOINT to integrate an ESG programme into employees' day-to-day work and make it accessible online. Realogis is thus taking a further step towards sustainability.

*Including ancillary areas such as office, mezzanine and exclusive open spaces and land; provisional value, final annual financial statements for 2022 pending

**As a rule, rental agreements for space concluded by owner-occupiers and without brokers account for around 30 % of total take-up in Germany. We have conservatively set this share at 25 % in the calculation.
