2 EARNINGS POSITION

alstria's revenues and earnings developed as planned in the reporting period. Rental income increased by 2.8 % to EUR 45,915 k (previous year: EUR 44,666 k), mainly due to revenues from new leases, indexations as well as revenues from leases of the properties acquired in the fiscal year 2021. The disposal of properties in the 2021 financial year did not have a significant impact in the reporting period.

The consolidated net income for the reporting period amounted to EUR 20,657 k (3M 2021: EUR 26,232 k). The decrease is primarily due to higher personnel expenses, reflecting an increase in the compensation for virtual shares and stock options by EUR 1,853 k. Other operating expenses also went up by EUR 2,134 k compared to the prior-year period and mainly caused by higher expenses for the valuation of minority interests.

To provide a clear picture of the Group's operating performance, alstria also publishes the operating result (FFO after minorities), which amounted to EUR 27,495 k in the reporting period (3M 2021: EUR 29,350 k). Net rental income was up by EUR 1,421 k but was more than offset by higher personnel expenses (EUR 683 k), lower other operating income (EUR 352 k), a lower net financial result (EUR 990 k) and a lower share of the result of companies accounted for at equity (EUR 733 k).

The reconciliation of consolidated net income to FFO is based on eliminating non-cash income items, items that are not expected to recur annually, non-periodic items and items that do not serve the operating business. The adjustments between the income figures in the income statement and FFO are shown in the table on the next page. The most significant adjustments (> EUR 1,000 k) in the current reporting period related to real estate operating expenses relating to a different accounting period (EUR 1,180 k), non-cash personnel expenses (EUR 2,427 k), non-cash other operating expenses (EUR 2,571 k) and expenses not attributable to the operating business in the financial result (EUR 1,279 k). Adjustments shown in the table are related primarily to the costs associated with the bridge facility. The adjustments in the operating expenses mainly relate to the valuation of the limited partner capital.

1) Numbers may not sum up due to rounding.

2) The operating financial result contains interest expenses for financial liabilities, which are used for the financing of the existing portfolio. The nonoperating financial result contains interest expenses for financial liabilities, which are not used for the financing of the existing portfolio. This concerns the interest expenses for already refinanced financial liabilities and financial liabilities intended for future property investments.

3) FFO is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles — in particular, IFRS — and should not be considered an alternative to the Company's income or cash flow measures as determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, there is no standard definition for FFO. Thus, alstria's FFO values and the measures with similar names presented by other companies may not be comparable.

3 FINANCIAL AND ASSET POSITION

Investment property

The fair value of investment property amounted to EUR 4,767,160 k as of March 31, 2022, which was slightly below the December 31, 2021, level (EUR 4,775,801 k). The decrease resulted from a property in Düsseldorf being sold, which was reclassified as held for sale as of March 31, 2022 (EUR 25,000 k). An partly opposite effect resulted from investments made in the existing portfolio during the first quarter of 2022 (EUR 16,411 k).

5 OUTLOOK

The first quarter of the financial year 2022 developed as expected. Against this background, alstria confirms its guidance for the financial year 2022 with expected revenues of approximately EUR 183 million and an operating result (FFO) of EUR 106 million.

Reliable forecasts are very difficult due to the current environment. The war in Ukraine, with its hardly assessable consequences for the German economy, is causing uncertainty. In addition, the commercial leasing market continues to be strained. Large companies in particular are still reluctant to sign new leases.

Risk management

alstria is exposed to various risks through its business activities. Please refer to the detailed descriptions in the Annual Report 2021. There were no changes in the risk situation compared to the status described in the 2021 consolidated financial statements, also with regard to the Ukraine war.
