Funds from operations amounted to EUR 59,638 k (before minorities) or EUR 58,069 k (after minorities) in the first six months of 2018, compared to EUR 58,768 k (before minorities) or EUR 56,603 k (after minorities) in the first six months of 2017.
The slight increase mainly resulted from a better net financial result of EUR 2,111 k. Small opposite effects were the slightly higher administrative and personnel expenses compared to the previous-year period.

1) This is noncash income or expenses plus nonrecurring effects. The main effects during the first six months of 2017 were other operating income from a compensation payment by a tenant (EUR 5,000 k), expenses for the valuation of the limited partner capital (EUR 3,946 k), and costs related to the takeover of alstria office Prime (EUR 930 k). The main effects during the first six months of 2018 were other operating income from the reversal of a provision (EUR 2,250 k), and expenses for the valuation of the limited partner capital (EUR 1,709 k).
Net rental revenues amounted to EUR 96,244 k in the first half of 2018 and thus increased compared to the respective previous-year period by EUR 2,912 k (H1 2017: EUR 93,332 k). The increase mainly results from the acquisition of assets during the second half of financial year 2017 and thus led to in higher rental income.
Real estate operating expenses consist of recoverable and nonrecoverable operating costs and amounted to EUR 36,655 k during the reporting period (H1 2017: EUR 31,551 k). Non-recoverable operating costs increased in the amount of EUR 2,928 k from EUR 9,960 k to EUR 12,888 k. This corresponds to an expense ratio of 13.4% in H1 2018 (H1 2017: 10.7%). Thus, the net rental income of the Group slightly increased by EUR 150 k, reaching a total of EUR 83,251 k.
Administrative expenses amounted to EUR 4,251 k (H1 2017: EUR 4,232 k) and therefore approximately remained at the previous year's level. Personnel expenses were at EUR 7,562 k, compared to EUR 6,245 k in the first half of 2017. The increase in personnel expenses was mostly a result of an increase in salaries and bonuses by EUR 577 k to EUR 4,738 k, due to an increased number of employees in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Moreover, the remuneration for virtual shares increased by EUR 367 k to EUR 651 k.
The decrease of the other operating income during the first half of 2018 is mainly due to a compensation payment by a tenant in the amount of EUR 5,000 k in the first half of 2017. This was supplemented by EUR 2,886 k lower other operating expenses which were mainly burdened by the valuation of minorities in the previous-year period. Overall, the other operating result amounted to EUR 2,394 k in the first half of 2018 (H1 2017: EUR 1,477 k).
The improvement in the net financial result by EUR 2,111 k is the result of the restructuring activities of alstria's corporate bonds in the fourth quarter of the financial year 2017, which led to a reduction in the average interest rate (for further information, please see section 3.5, 'Financial liabilities').

The valuation of financial derivatives resulted in a net gain from fair value adjustments in an amount of EUR 2,455 k during the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018 (please refer to section 3.2 for further details). The valuation gain essentially results from the derivative embedded in the convertible bond that was issued by the Company. The valuation gain of the embedded derivative is based on the declining development of alstria's share price during the first quarter of the financial year 2018, the period when the bond had been converted into shares of the Company. The market value of the converted shares was below the fair value of liabilities stated in the balance sheet for the convertible bond and the embedded derivative as of December 31, 2017.
alstria's consolidated net result amounted to EUR 62,518 k during the period under review, compared to EUR 78,579 k in the first half of 2017. Overall, lower financial expenses and an improved net loss from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives were overcompensated by a decrease of the share of the result of joint venture companies. alstria's share of earnings from joint venture companies in the first half of 2017 was mainly attributable to the sale of the Kaisergalerie asset in Hamburg. Undiluted earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.36 in the first six months of 2018 (H1 2017: EUR 0.51 per share).
The total value of investment properties amounted to EUR 3,455,633 k as of June 30, 2018, compared to EUR 3,331,858 k as of December 31, 2017.

Cash and cash equivalents increased in the amount of EUR 76,060 k from EUR 102,078 k to EUR 178,138 k during the reporting period. The increase was mainly driven by a capital increase in January 2018, resulting in a cash inflow of EUR 190,490 k.

It excludes valuation effects and other adjustments, such as non-cash expenses/income and non-recurring effects.*
Due to the deviation of expected transfers of benefits and burdens of the purchased and sold assets as well as the indexation of substantial lease contracts, alstria's original revenue and FFO forecasts for 2018 increase in the most part. As a result, the revenue forecast increases by EUR 3 million from EUR 187 million to EUR 190 million for financial year 2018. Hence, the FFO forecast increases by EUR 3 million from EUR 110 million to EUR 113 million. Any other forecasts or statements presented in the annual statement 2017 regarding the prospective development of the Company for financial year 2018 have not changed substantially.
The management report contains statements relating to anticipated future developments. These statements are based on current assessments and are, by their very nature, exposed to risks and uncertainty. Actual developments may differ from those predicted in these statements.

alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018
alstria office REIT-AG (hereinafter referred to as 'the Company' or 'alstria office REIT-AG', together with its subsidiaries, referred to as 'alstria' or 'the Group'), is a German stock corporation based in Hamburg. The Group's principal activities are described in detail in Section 1 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending on December 31, 2017.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2018 (hereinafter referred to as the 'consolidated interim financial statements'), were authorised for publication by a resolution of the Company's Management Board on August 3, 2018.
These consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not contain all the disclosures and explanations which are required in the annual financial statements; they should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited, but they have been reviewed by KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Hamburg.
The applied accounting policies are consistent with the policies applied and outlined in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ending on December 31, 2017.
The following new interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the financial reporting period beginning on January 1, 2018.

Jan. 1, 2018 | None |
In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published IFRS15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 15 replaces the previous IFRS regulations on revenue recognition: e.g. IAS 18 and IAS 11. The goal of the new standard on revenue recognition is to present the multitude of regulations previously contained in various standards and interpretations in a uniform revenue recognition model. The standard provides a five-step model to determine the amount of revenue and the time of realization.
At the end of the first half of the year, alstria completed the analysis of the effects of the first application of IFRS 15. As part of the conclusion – also considering the establishing industry practice – it emerged that alstria assumes a principal position with regard to the service charge costs of letting and that these ancillary costs charged to the tenants are to be presented as revenues. The costs incurred relating to the provision of services in this context are presented as real estate operating expenses. A change in net rental income does not result.
Because of this change, revenues in the first half of 2018 increase by EUR 23,662 k (Q2 2018 by EUR 8,500 k), while real estate expenses increase by EUR 23,767 k (Q2 2018 by EUR 8,237 k) compared to the IFRSs to be applied until December 31, 2017. Since alstria applies the retrospective approach with regard to the first-time application of IFRS 15, the comparative information in the financial statements for the first half of 2018 has been adjusted for the corresponding periods of the 2017 financial year. Revenues in the first half of 2017 increased by EUR 21,320 k (Q2 2017 by EUR 7,466 k); real estate operating expenses are increased by EUR 21,591 k (Q2 2017 by EUR 7,808 k) compared to the accounting method to be applied until December 31, 2017.
Expenses and income from service charges in accordance with IFRS 15 are now presented gross, but their amount does not change. Therefore, the first-time application of IFRS 15 has no impact on the earnings position of the Group.
The first-time application of IFRS 9 led to an additional write-down of trade receivables in the amount of EUR 169 k. The value adjustment was recognized as a first-time effect from IFRS 9 in retained earnings.
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments to the published standards have been issued, but they are not in effect for the 2018 financial year and have not been applied by the Group prior to becoming mandatory:

IFRS 16 provides the accounting practices for leases. According to IFRS 16, some payment entitlements from lease agreements represent cost allocations that do not provide additional benefits for the customer. These include property tax, building insurance and allowances for asset management services. With the application of IFRS 16, the service charges to be paid by the lessee will be divided between all leasing and non-leasing components identified in the contract. This will result in extended disclosure requirements in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the first-time application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a significant impact on the presentation of the net assets, financial and earnings position of the Company, as the Group has mainly concluded office leases for their investment properties and thus acts as lessor. The scope of the transactions agreed by the company as lessee, however, is of minor scope.
No significant impact on financial reporting is expected from the other new standards and amendments to the existing standards listed above.
There have been no changes to the consolidated Group since the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017.
Preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made for various items. These assumptions and estimates affect the amounts of the disclosures concerning assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates. There were no changes compared to the key judgments and estimates described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The lower carrying amount of EUR 1,390,982 k (non-current: EUR 1,382,457 k; current: EUR 8,525 k) takes into account the interest liabilities and transaction costs which are allocated according to the effective interest rate method at the time when the loans in question were taken out.

To the alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg
We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg – comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of cash flow, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2018 – together with the interim group management report of the alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018, that are part of the semi annual financial report according to § 115 WpHG ['Wertpapierhandelsgesetz': 'German Securities Trading Act']. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
