Germany's first listed office REIT, year two, mid-crisis.

Alstria Office REIT-AG floated in April 2007 — Germany's first G-REIT — with a German office portfolio concentrated in Hamburg and Stuttgart. By early 2009, shares had fallen ~74% from their 2008 high and traded at a 73% discount to NAV, while the analyst community focused on financial-distress scenarios and deleveraging.

That reported NNNAV rests on property values set by an independent external appraiser — not the company's own marks. But an appraisal lags the live market. You'll build an independent NAV at current cap rates, from this annual report, to set against it.

What's reported

Investment property at "fair value"

The portfolio sits at €1,805m (a 5.9% gross valuation yield) at 31 Dec 2008 — but valued on an income approach, for want of recent transactions. By the 31 March 2009 results date, the market had moved well past that mark.

What you'll challenge

Where the gap comes from

The cap rate re-values the property — almost all of the gap comes from there. The development & JV pipeline is the next-biggest difference from the appraised book. The debt barely moves it: it's floating-rate, so its carrying value already ≈ market.

Reported "valuation yield" is GROSS — AR2008 defines it as "contractual rent in relation to the fair value of the property"
5.9% = contractual rent €106.5m ÷ fair value €1,805m
We value on the NET initial yield instead — NOI ÷ value
5.2% = NOI €93.2m ÷ fair value €1,805m
The two differ by the NOI margin (NOI ÷ rent)
net 5.2% = gross 5.9% × (€93.2m ÷ €106.5m) = 5.9% × 87.5%
AR2008 — glossary definition; rent & NOI from the income statement; value p.27.

The whole portfolio in one table — 89 properties, €1.8bn, 5.9% yield, 944k sqm, WAULT 10y.
Why this case matters: "fair value" under IFRS is a managed estimate — appraisers anchor to prior marks, management resists writedowns that breach covenants, and the published yield always lags the transaction market by 6-12 months. The analyst's job isn't to argue with the auditor — it's to build an independent number and stand behind it. That number is what you'll have at the end of SM6.
2 Step 2 of 4 · The roadmap Scan the seven sub-modules. You're on SM0 now.

From the balance sheet to a defensible NAV — in seven moves.

Each sub-module shows you a source document, asks for your judgment, then checks it against the analyst model. The output of one becomes the locked input to the next, so by SM5 the NAV bridge writes itself. SM6 reconciles your number to the reported NNNAV and itemises every delta.
