2. KEY FIGURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF EARNING POSITIONS

Funds from operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 30,608 k (before minorities) or EUR 29,765 k (after minorities) in the first quarter of 2018, compared to EUR 29,051 k (before minorities) or EUR 27,917 k (after minorities) in the first quarter of 2017.

The increase mainly resulted from an increase in net rental income of EUR 1,459 k. An opposite effect were the slightly higher administrative and personnel expenses compared to the prior year's quarter.

FFO per share (EUR k) 0.17 0.18

1) This is noncash income or expenses plus nonrecurring effects. The main effects during the first quarter of 2017 were the valuation of the limited partner capital (EUR 1,759 k), as well as costs related to the takeover of alstria office Prime (EUR 931 k). The main effects during the first quarter of 2018 were another operating income from the reversal of provisions (EUR 1,100 k), as well as expenses for the valuation of the limited partner capital (EUR 839 k).

2) (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.

3) 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.

The consolidated net result amounted to EUR 32,352 k in the reporting period and was higher than the consolidated net result from the first quarter of 2017 (EUR 30,897 k). An increase in the other operating result contributed substantially to the increase of the consolidated net result of the Group. The improved result is partially offset by a lower net result on disposals of investment property as well as a lower net loss from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives compared to the first quarter of 2017.

Rental revenues amounted to EUR 48,264 k during the first quarter of 2018 and thus increased by EUR 2,854 k compared to the revenues during the first quarter of the previous year (EUR 45,410 k). The increase mainly results from the acquisition of assets in 2017. Thus, the net rental income of the Group increased by EUR 1,459 k, reaching a total of EUR 41,644 k.

3. KEY FIGURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINANCIAL AND ASSETS POSITION

Of this increase EUR 190,490 k is contributed to the capital increase which took place on January 31, 2018 as well as EUR 96,921 k to the conversions of the convertible bond taking place within the first quarter of 2018 (for further information, please refer to the consolidated statement of changes in equity).
