Berlin, 16 May 2008 – ESTAVIS AG (ISIN: DE000A0KFKB3) today announced its
results for the first nine months of financial year 2007/2008. In
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
revenues increased by 11% compared with the same period of the previous
year to EUR 122.5 million. In addition to this, transactions with a volume
of EUR 50.0 million were recorded by 31 March 2008. Revenues from these
transactions are expected to be largely generated in the fourth quarter of
the current financial year.

The sale of apartments to private investors (EUR 49.0 million; previous
year: EUR 0 million) played a significant role in this revenue growth. In
contrast, revenues from portfolio trading (EUR 72.2 million, previous year:
110.7 million) fell as a result of the financing conditions for
institutional investors that have been made more difficult.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) calculated in line with IFRS of
EUR -0.4 million were negatively impacted by non-recurring effects in the
amount of EUR 6.1 million. This includes non-cash effects from the purchase
price allocation stipulated under IFRS for business acquisitions totalling
EUR 5.3 million and costs for setting up ESTAVIS Property Management in the
amount of EUR 0.8 million.
After adjustment for non-recurring effects, EBIT amounted to EUR 5.7
million. After nine months, the Group recorded a net loss of EUR -1.5
million and earnings per share were EUR -0.13 (not adjusted for
non-recurring effects in either case).

Against the backdrop of the current business performance and the status of
the portfolio transactions under negotiation, the Management Board believes
that the outlook for the current financial year communicated in February
2008 is still within ESTAVIS AG’s reach. Revenues are expected to grow
slightly compared to previous year (EUR 198 million). Present estimates
predict an EBIT margin before non-recurring events of around 10%.
