2. EARNINGS POSITION

Funds from operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 29,356 k (before minorities) or EUR 28,627 k (after minorities) in the first quarter of 2019, compared to EUR 30,608 k (before minorities) or EUR 29,765 k (after minorities) in the first quarter of 2018.

The decrease mainly resulted from the lower net rental income of approximately EUR 1,500 k driven by the disposals. An opposite effect was the slightly improved net financial result compared to the previous-year period.

1)(A)FFO is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles, in particular IFRS, and it 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 (A)FFO. Thus, alstria's (A)FFO values and the measures with similar names presented by other companies may not be comparable. 2)The adjustment of the other operating income mainly stems from the reversal of accruals for the land transfer tax.

3)The other operating expenses are adjusted by the expenses for the valuation of the limited partner capital. 4)AFFO is equal to FFO after adjustments are made for capital expenditures used to maintain the quality of the underlying investment portfolio and expenses for lease-ups.

Rental revenues amounted to EUR 46,757 k during the first quarter of 2019 and hence decreased by EUR 1,507 k compared to the revenues during the first quarter of the previous year (EUR 48,264 k). The decrease mainly resulted from the disposals of assets and thereby led to lower rental income.

The consolidated net result amounted to EUR 54,636 k in the reporting period and was above the consolidated net result from the first quarter of 2018 (EUR 32,352 k). This mainly stemmed from the disposals of assets and higher other operating income mainly stems from the reversal of accruals for the land transfer tax.
