both sustainable and suitable for modular construction. 
Highly flexible financing strategy 
During the first quarter of the year Vonovia issued its first EUR 600 million Green Bond. This ten-year bond bearing 
0.625 % interest is continuing the company's sustainability strategy. Together with the EUR 500 million bond issued in 
January with a maturity of 20 years, Vonovia has created a highly flexible basis for financing. The Loan-to-Value (LTV) 
ratio was 39.1 % at the end of March 2021, i.e. 0.3 percentage points below the level at the end of 2020. 
At the end of the first quarter of 2021, the EPRA NTA, the key performance indicator for the net asset value, was EUR 
35,772.9 million - 0.8% higher than the value at the end of 2020, EUR 35,488.6 million. The EPRA NTA has been mirroring 
the increase in equity. The EPRA NTA per share increased from EUR 62.71 at the end of 2020 to EUR 63.22 at the end of the 
first quarter of 2021. 
Forecast confirmed 
Given the strong start to Vonovia's new financial year and its resilient business model, the company has confirmed the 
forecast for 2021. 
In 2021, Vonovia is planning to invest between EUR 1,300 million and EUR 1,600 million in modernization and construction. 
Total Segment Revenue is expected to be within a range of approximately EUR 4,900 million to EUR 5,100 million, and the 
Adjusted EBITDA Total between EUR 1,975 million and EUR 2,025 million. As a result, Vonovia is expecting its Group FFO to 
rise between EUR 1,415 million and EUR 1,465 million. At the same time, Vonovia reckons that its Sustainability Performance 
Index will be around 100 % in relation to various indicators such as carbon savings from existing buildings and 
customer satisfaction.
