– Overview of
market trends and
development
Study extract

Munich, January 2018


Management summary (1/2)

The market study at hand analyzes the prefabricated 1+2 family housing market in Central and Northern Europe, covering the countries
Germany, Scandinavia, the UK, Austria, Switzerland and Poland, and is based on primary and secondary sources of information

The market volume of 1+2 family housing in focus regions is expected to display solid growth of 2.0% p.a. from 2017 to 2022, driven by
a strong anticipated GDP development, favorable financing conditions, and governmental regulations and subsidiaries

Among 1+2 family housing, the prefabricated housing segment (c.15% of all 1+2 family houses) is expected to further gain in relevance by
growing at 3.2% p.a. from 2017 to 2022, driven particularly by an increasing demand for planning security and technology acceptance
> Germany (c.25 k), followed by Scandinavia (c.13 k) and the UK (c.12 k) are expected to display the largest prefab volumes in 2017
> Absolute volume growth is projected to be driven by Germany (3.1% p.a. in 2017-'22), the UK (3.8% p.a.) and Scandinavia (3.5% p.a.)
– In Poland prefabricated housing is currently less popular, considerable catch-up effects are expected going forward (6.9% p.a.)

Within prefabricated 1+2 family housing, there is a trend towards turnkey solutions with convenience and security as key drivers
> Turnkey solutions are the prevailing prefabricated finishing type, accounting for c.50% of the market volume, and are projected to
outgrow the prefabricated housing market in all focus regions (3.8% p.a. vs. 3.2% p.a. volume growth)
> Germany (c.10 k), Scandinavia (c.8 k) and the UK (c.7 k) are the largest prefabricated turnkey housing markets in 2017 and are
expected to grow at c.4% p.a. between 2017 and 2022

The market value of prefabricated 1+2 family housing is expected to grow at c.6% p.a. between 2017 and 2022 in Central and Northern
Europe due to favorable pricing trends (e.g. shift towards more expensive turnkey solutions and increasing wage levels)
> Turnkey solutions are forecast to outgrow the prefabricated housing market with c.7% growth p.a.
> Geographically, Switzerland (c.360 k per average prefabricated house), Scandinavia (c.330 k) and the UK (c.250 k) show the highest
average prefabricated 1+2 family housing prices in 2017, while Poland (c.80 k) is estimated to have the lowest price level

Management summary (2/2)

The route-to-market differs by focus region: In the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), prefabricated 1+2 family houses are
typically sold directly to end customers, while the UK has a higher share of intermediaries (i.e. developers and housing associations)

The key buying criteria of customers are price/quality ratio, quality of sales, product customization and brand perception – Customers are
increasingly willing to pay for superior quality, given the overall high investment combined with an expected long period of usage

In the DACH region, several manufacturers of prefabricated 1+2 family housing exist, with vast differences in product price segment and
level of finishing type
> The largest manufacturers are DFH, followed by Equistone assets (Bien-Zenker and Hanse Haus), WeberHaus, FingerHaus and
Polish-headquartered Danwood based on 2016 revenues
> The majority of manufacturers have been able to gradually increase their revenues between 2012 and 2016, driven by a favorable
market environment, which is expected to be the base for further growth going forward

Specifically for Germany, the prefabricated 1+2 family housing market appears to be largely fragmented with the top 5 suppliers
accounting for c.30% and suppliers beyond the top 5 holding market shares of below 3%
> Within the prefabricated 1+2 family housing market, the turnkey subsegment reveals a similarly high level of market concentration
> This market characteristic creates possibilities for M&A activity, which has intensified in recent years

The entry of new manufacturers in the prefabricated 1+2 family housing market is hampered by several barriers – The main market entry
barriers are related to technical capabilities, sales network with an attractive online channel, brand/track record and capital intensity

Customers consider quality of sales, product customization, brand
image and price/quality ratio as key buying criteria
Customers' key buying criteria Indicative

Success factors Importance


> Product quality is one of the most important buying criteria for customers, considering the high investment
Quality
and the anticipated long period of usage
Quality of sales > A customer-friendly sales organization is a crucial factor for typically busy and inexperienced customers
(online and offline > The online channel has become an increasingly important source of product information, comparison and
channel) initial shortlisting – Relevance of the online presence as direct sales channel is expected to further increase
> Besides product quality, the final product price is a key buying criterion for customers – However, customers
Price
are willing to pay for superior quality (good price/quality ratio)
> German, British and Swiss customers appear to be considerably less price sensitive than Polish customers
Product > Customization options bring the prefabricated segment closer to the solid housing segment
customization > Most of the suppliers allow the usage of external sources in the designing process
Brand perception/ > As the investment is a substantial part of the family budget, a good reputation plays a crucial role in assuring
track record a sound service, particularly for countries with a share of premium-focused customers (e.g. the UK, DE, CH)
> Declining consumer expertise and time limitations drive turnkey solutions, esp. in the UK and Scandinavia
Turnkey solutions
> Turnkey solutions offer very high commercial security since the responsibility is borne by the supplier only
Information > Transparency allows customers to gather preliminary information, make first decisions and compare
transparency available options (i.e. house types/variants and manufacturers)
Product portfolio > Typical portfolios cover all types of houses in many variants, therefore portfolio depth is rarely a differentiator
depth > Customers may choose external design offerings if they strive for more personalized solutions
Construction/lead > Prefabrication reduces construction time, which is esp. valued by Polish customers – However, this factor is
time of diminishing importance due to long backlogs resulting in lead times similar to those of regular solid houses
Energy efficiency > High energy efficiency is standard in the industry and individual manufacturers appear to differ moderately –
Initial high investment cost frequently outweighs continuous cost considerations

Market entry barriers are particularly based on technical capabilities,
sales network and brand/track record
Market entry barriers Indicative

Entry barrier Description Relevance


Technical > Suppliers of prefabricated houses have to cover a broad spectrum of capabilities, e.g. architecture and housing design
capabilities trends, construction and engineering (pre-production and on-site assembly), project planning and execution, in order to
match customers' high quality demand and price expectations (especially in Germany)
– Offering turnkey solutions requires additional building trades with specialized skill sets and certification, e.g. for heating,
electric installations, floor-covering, interior construction and sanitary
> Considering the dynamic construction market and the respective shortage of workers, new entries are likely to face
difficulties finding well-qualified staff at reasonable costs – Long-term employer branding, internal training and incentivization
appear to be key success factors

Sales > The establishment of a comprehensive and attractive online channel is required, providing detailed building specifications,
network/ pictures, videos, configuration tools and showcases
channel > In addition, the majority of customers demand a local sales agent supporting with the customization of the final product and
acting as a central contact person throughout the project – Setting up an exhaustive and skilled sales network is expensive
and time consuming due to strong market competition and lack of experienced sales agents

Brand > Due to high investment costs, customers typically demand a certain track record of successfully delivered housing projects in
and track their relevant region and a positive brand perception in the market (e.g. through former customers or discussion boards)
record > Suppliers new to the market have to first develop and demonstrate their quality and reliability, thereby continuously building
up a positive market perception/track record

Capital > Considerable investment costs in sales network (incl. housing exhibitions), certifications, as well as to a lesser extent
intensity production plant, require the build-up of sufficient sales volumes

High relevance Limited to no relevance
