The fair values of these investment properties total €311 million (30/9/2020: €362 million) with a carrying amount of €170 million (30/9/2020: €188 million). They are determined on the basis of internationally recognised measurement methods, particularly the comparable valuation method and the discounted cash flow method (level 3 of the 3-level valuation hierarchy of IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement)). This measurement is based on a detailed planning period of 10 years. Aside from market rents, market-based discount rates were used as key valuation parameters. The discount rates are determined on the basis of analyses of relevant real estate markets as well as evaluations of comparable transactions and market publications issued by international consulting firms. The resulting discount rates reflect the respective country and location risk as well as the property-specific real estate risk. In addition, project developments are considered to determine the best use.
The fair value is usually assessed by METRO PROPERTIES employees. Where deemed appropriate and necessary, external expert appraisals are also gathered.
Rental income from continuing operations amounts to €84 million, with usufructuary rights accounting for €80 million of this total (2019/20: €87 million, thereof €70 million from usufructuary rights). The related expenses amount to €68 million, with usufructuary rights accounting for €64 million (2019/20: €60 million, thereof €51 million from usufructuary rights).
Restrictions on titles in the form of liens and encumbrances amounted to €0 million (30/9/2020: €0 million). As in the previous year, no contractual commitments for the acquisition of investment properties were made.
