as of 31 December 2024
S IMMO Group (S IMMO AG and its subsidiaries) is an international real estate group. The ultimate parent company of S IMMO Group is S IMMO AG and has its registered office and headquarters at Wienerbergstraße 9/7th floor, 1100 Vienna, Austria. It has subsidiaries in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania as of the reporting date. As of 31 December 2024, S IMMO Group owned properties in all the above countries. S IMMO Group engages in long-term real estate investments in the form of the buying and selling of properties, project development, letting and asset management, revitalisation and refurbishment of buildings and the operation of hotels and shopping centers.
S IMMO AG, Vienna, prepares the consolidated financial statements for the smallest group of companies. CPI Property Group S.A. prepares the consolidated financial statements for the largest group of companies. 100% of the shares are held directly by CPI Europe AG (formerly IMMOFINANZ AG). The consolidated financial statements of CPI Property Group S.A. are published at the company's registered office in Luxembourg.
The consolidated financial statements comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee, the application of which is mandatory in the European Union at the balance sheet date, as well as supplementary provisions according to section 245a (1) Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).
The accounting policies of all companies included in consolidation are based on the uniform accounting regulations of S IMMO Group. The financial year for all companies included in consolidation ends on 31 December.
The consolidated financial statements are presented rounded to the nearest 1,000 euros (EUR '000 or kEUR). The totals of rounded amounts and the percentages may be affected by rounding differences caused by the use of computer software.
All receivables and liabilities and all income and expenses between companies in the scope of consolidation are eliminated as part of debt consolidation and the consolidation of income and expenses. Interim results from intercompany transfers of properties are likewise eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements include all the companies (subsidiaries) over which the parent company has a controlling influence (control) through full consolidation. A controlling interest exists where the parent company is directly or indirectly in a position to have the power of disposition over the associated subsidiary and determine the financial and business policies of the subsidiary in such a way that the yield level can be influenced (risk exposure by or claims related to fluctuating yields). A subsidiary is consolidated from the time the controlling influence is acquired, and deconsolidated when that influence ceases to exist.
The acquisition date is determined as the date on which control of the acquired company is obtained.
If acquisitions result in business combinations as defined by IFRS 3, they are recognised according to the acquisition method. Assessing whether a transaction includes the acquisition of a business requires a detailed analysis of the relevant structures and processes. Where applicable, an optional fair value concentration test is performed to assess whether a group of activities and assets qualifies as business operations.
Costs incurred by S IMMO Group in the course of acquisition, such as fees for due diligence reviews, measurements and other consulting services, are recognised as expenses in the period in which they have incurred.
If the company obtains control of a business operation through an acquisition, the costs associated with the acquisition, including any expenses related to due diligence, valuation and other professional services fees are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs were incurred. The cost of acquiring the business operation is compared with the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired to determine any difference. A positive difference is recognised as goodwill. If the amount is negative, the underlying calculations and assumptions are reviewed once again and said amount is only recognised in profit or loss if this further critical review of the recognition and measurement of the assets and liabilities acquired results in a negative difference.
When acquiring property companies that do not constitute a business as defined by IFRS 3, financial assets and liabilities acquired are measured at fair value. The total of the financial assets and liabilities measured in this way is then deducted from the transaction price. The transaction price includes the incidental expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of the real estate company. The remaining transaction price is then allocated to the remaining identifiable assets (essentially property assets) based on their relative fair values at the time of acquisition.
Changes to interests in subsidiaries that do not lead to the establishment or loss of control are classified as equity transactions. The book values of the interests held by the Group and accordingly those held by the controlling shareholders are adjusted in such a way that they reflect the changes to the ownership interests appropriately. The difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration received is recognised under equity and allocated to the shareholders of S IMMO AG.
In the event of loss of control over a subsidiary, the attributable assets and liabilities and the related non-controlling interests are derecognised on the basis of the fictitious stand-alone disposal. The remeasurement of any retained interests at fair value as of the date of the loss of control is performed via the income statement and represents the starting point for the future measurement as an associate, joint venture or equity investment. When obtaining control over an existing joint venture or associate, the equity interest previously held in the acquired enterprise should be remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date.
S IMMO Group recognises non-controlling interests as the proportionate share of identifiable net assets of the subsidiary. The accounting effects of changes in the shareholdings of noncontrolling interests are recognised as set out in 2.2.1.
Companies over whose business and financial policies the parent company can directly or indirectly exercise a significant influence (as a rule, through a direct or indirect interest ranging from 20% to 50% of the share capital) and joint companies are included in the consolidated financial statements at equity.
Interests in companies included at equity are initially recognised at cost of acquisition. For associated companies and jointly controlled companies included at equity, differences resulting from consolidation are calculated in the same way as for fully consolidated companies. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition of a company included at equity is part of the book value and is not subject to amortisation. As part of the investment in the company included at equity, the goodwill is reviewed for impairment. S IMMO AG's interest in the profit or loss of a company consolidated at equity after the date of acquisition is included in the consolidated income statement. The share of other comprehensive income is recognised directly in the item other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The cumulative share of such changes increases or reduces the book value of the interest. If S IMMO AG's attributable share of the accumulated losses of a company consolidated at equity exceeds the book value of the interest, excess shares of losses are not recognised, except to the extent that they give rise to obligations. In the event of distributions, the book value of the interest is reduced by the proportionate amount. Intercompany profits and losses between S IMMO AG and companies consolidated at equity are eliminated on consolidation.
If the ownership interest in companies recognised at equity decreases and the equity method continues to be applied, the proportion of the gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income attributed to the reduction in ownership interest is to be reclassified to profit or loss if this gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
Apart from S IMMO AG, the consolidated financial statements include 95 (2023: 99) companies (property holding and intermediary holding companies) that are fully consolidated and directly or indirectly controlled by S IMMO AG, and 3 (2023: 5) companies included at equity.
In the second quarter of 2024, Baudry Beta, a.s., Czech Republic, CPI Národní, s.r.o., Czech Republic, CPI Shopping Teplice, a.s., Czech Republic, Farhan, a.s., Czech Republic, Marissa Tau, a.s., Czech Republic, and Na Poříčí, a.s., Czech Republic, were acquired from CPI Property Group S.A. by way of share deals. The purchase prices (including incidental expenses) of kEUR 6,781 (Baudry Beta, a.s.), kEUR 122,955 (CPI Národní, s.r.o.), kEUR 10,253 (CPI Shopping Teplice, a.s.), kEUR 112 (Farhan, a.s.), kEUR 13,130 (Marissa Tau, a.s.) and kEUR 21,943 (Na Poříčí, a.s.) consisted entirely of cash. The loans of
kEUR 10,453 (Baudry Beta, a.s.), kEUR 82,483 (CPI Národní, s.r.o.), kEUR 43,374 (CPI Shopping Teplice, a.s.), kEUR 54,753 (Farhan, a.s.), kEUR 16,125 (Marissa Tau, a.s.) and kEUR 28,552 (Na Poříčí, a.s.) included in non-current liabilities were repaid as the purchases were completed.
In the course of this acquisition, interest rate derivatives were also transferred, which were recognised at the positive fair value of kEUR 13,767 in the superordinate intermediate holding company at the time of acquisition. As a result, the acquisition costs of the acquired properties were reduced accordingly.

The Group's reporting currency is the euro. For subsidiaries that prepare their accounts in foreign currencies and investments accounted for using the equity method, the functional currency of individual Group companies is determined by the main economic environment in which the respective company operates. A key determining factor here is the currency in which the majority of cash flows, goods and services are settled in the relevant country. When the functional currency is not obvious, in accordance with IAS 21 management uses its judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions and events.
For the majority of subsidiaries in Romania and Hungary and for two subsidiaries in the Czech Republic, management has defined the euro as the functional currency. The decision took account of the fact that the macroeconomic development of these economies is significantly influenced by the euro area. In addition, S IMMO concludes lease agreements in these countries predominantly in euros. Property financing is also in euros.
Croatia adopted the euro on 01 January 2023.
For one subsidiary in Romania and two subsidiaries in Hungary, the functional currency is the local currency. The functional currency of the Czech subsidiaries acquired in 2023 and the newly founded Czech subsidiary is also the local currency. For those Group companies for which the local currency is equivalent to the functional currency, functional currencies are translated into the group reporting currency in accordance with IAS 21 as follows:
Foreign currencies have been translated using the following exchange rates:
| Czech Republic CZK |
Hungary HUF |
Bulgaria BGN |
Romania RON |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closing rate 31 December 2024 | 25.185 | 411.350 | 1.956 | 4.974 |
| Average rate in 2024 | 25.156 | 397.068 | 1.956 | 4.975 |
| Closing rate 31 December 2023 | 24.724 | 382.800 | 1.956 | 4.976 |
| Average rate in 2023 | 23.982 | 382.135 | 1.956 | 4.951 |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date or, in the case of revaluations, on the valuation date. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions or from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date are recognised in the income statement.
In the second quarter of 2024, S IMMO AG's Management Board and Supervisory Board decided to gradually withdraw from the German market. In this context, the company is evaluating individual and portfolio sales. The Germany segment is a significant geographical business area. As of 31 December 2024, all properties in Germany that had not yet been sold as at the reporting date met the criteria of IFRS 5 and are reported accordingly as assets held for sale and presented as discontinued operations together with the German assets and liabilities already sold.
In the consolidated income statement, the result (after taxes) of the discontinued operation is presented in a separate line both in the period 01–12/2024 and in the comparative period 01–12/2023.
Transactions between discontinued and continuing operations are eliminated in S IMMO's consolidated income statement. The consolidation of income and expenses was therefore continued for the periods reported. The result from discontinued operations presented in the consolidated income statement is broken down as follows:

In the consolidated cash flow statement of S IMMO the transactions and cash flows between discontinued and continuing operations were eliminated. In the consolidated cash flow statement the result of the discontinued operation is as presented below:
| in EUR '000 | 2024 | 2023 adjusted |
|---|---|---|
| Operating cash flow | -4,356 | 16,081 |
| Cash flow from investing activities | 298,072 | 473,047 |
| Cash flow from financing activities | -62,019 | -167,650 |
| Net cash flow from discontinued operation | 231,697 | 321,478 |
The main groups of assets and liabilities of the Germany segment, which was classified as held for sale, were composed as follows as of 31 December 2024:
Assets held for sale (from discontinued operations Germany segment)
| in EUR '000 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|
| Rental properties | 97,867 |
| Properties under development and undeveloped land |
42,972 |
| Deferred tax assets | 33 |
| Trade receivables | 66 |
| Other financial assets | 7,896 |
| Other assets | 42 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 3,641 |
| 152,517 |
| in EUR '000 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|
| Other non-current financial liabilities | 1 |
| Deferred taxes liabilities | 3,884 |
| Income tax liabilities | 1,188 |
| Trade payables | 119 |
| Other liabilities | 343 |
| 5,535 |
Financial liabilities of the Germany segment in the amount of kEUR 9,898 will be repaid by the previous owner S IMMO AG as part of the sale in accordance with the agreement and are therefore not recognised under liabilities in connection with assets held for sale.
The following new or amended standards and interpretations were applied for the first time in 2024:

Effects on S IMMO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Changes to standards and interpretations | ||||
| IAS 1 | Changes to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and the Deferral of Effective Date |
23 January 2020 (19 December 2023) 01 January 2024 |
No | |

| IFRS 16 | Changes to IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback | 22 September 2022 (20 November 2023) 01 January 2024 |
No | |
| IAS 7 and IFRS 7 | Changes to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – Supplier Finance Arrangements | 25 May 2023 | (15 May 2024) 01 January 2024 | No |
The changes clarify that the classification is only influenced by covenants which a company must fulfil on or before the reporting date. However, a company must disclose information in the notes that enable the users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants which are under review as of the reporting date could become repayable within 12 months.
These changes had no material effect on accounting policies. The additionally required disclosures in the notes are included under section 5.2.2.
The other changes to standards and interpretations listed in the above table ("Changes to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current", "Changes to IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback" and "Changes to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – Supplier Finance Arrangements") have no material effects on the consolidated financial statements.
The following changes to standards and interpretations had been adopted by the EU as of the balance sheet date, but did not require mandatory application in the 2024 financial year and were not applied prematurely:

This is the new standard for presentation and disclosure in financial statements. It replaces IAS 1, whereby updating the income statement represents the focal point.
The most important new concepts introduced by IFRS 18 involve the following points:
With regard to IFRS 18, it is assumed that the application of the new standard will have material effects on the consolidated financial statements, especially concerning the presentation of the statement of profit or loss. The effects on the Group are currently still being evaluated.
The other expected changes to the standards that are presumably applicable to S IMMO Group are currently under evaluation and will be applied as of the mandatory application date. The new and revised standards not yet applied – with the exception of IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements – are not expected to have a material effect on S IMMO Group's consolidated financial statements
There were no changes in accounting and valuation policies in the financial year 2024.
It is industry practice to measure investment properties using the fair value model, under the option available in IAS 40. The Group classifies properties as leased or rented out for the purpose of generating income or held for capital appreciation, together with undeveloped land as investment properties. Properties acquired for disposal, used by the Group or sold after development do not fall under the scope of IAS 40 and fall under the scope of IAS 2.
The application of the fair value model means that rental properties and undeveloped land are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. The resulting changes in book values before revaluation are recognised as profit or loss under the result from property valuation.
The diversity of the properties to which the fair value model is applied necessitates a careful choice of an appropriate valuation method and different parameters for each individual property, ensuring that factors such as location of the property, type of use, market environment and building quality are taken into account.
Costs of regular maintenance are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Costs are capitalised when the expenditure results in increased future benefits and the costs can be reliably measured. The capitalised costs are not subject to depreciation and amortisation because no depreciation and amortisation is applied in general pursuant to the fair value model selected according to IAS 40.
Owner-operated properties consist of hotels operated by S IMMO Group. The business of these hotels includes the rental of rooms and catering activities. These hotels are operated under management agreements for the most part, and consequently the risks associated with occupancy rates are borne by S IMMO Group. Hotels of this kind are outside the scope of IAS 40 (investment properties) and are therefore to be treated as property, plant and equipment under IAS 16.
Under IAS 16, owner-operated properties (including ownermanaged hotels) and other property, plant and equipment are valued using the cost model. The properties are recognised on initial capitalisation at cost of acquisition or construction and written down in subsequent years to reflect depreciation and amortisation and any impairment losses (please refer to section 2.6.5.1. of the notes). Significant components with different useful lives are recognised and amortised separately.
Retroactive acquisition or construction costs are only recognised as part of the acquisition or construction costs of an asset or, if applicable, as a separate asset when it is probable that the Group will receive an economic benefit from the asset in the future and the costs can be reliably measured. The book value of the parts that were replaced is derecognised. Repair and maintenance expenses that do not represent a material replacement investment (day-to-day servicing) are recognised as expenses in the income statement in the financial year in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the book values and in the case of properties are reported under gains on property disposals.
Depreciation and amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Useful life in years | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| from | to | ||
| Owner-operated hotels/buildings | 5 | 30 | |
| Other property, plant and equipment/ machinery and equipment |
3 | 9 |
Intangible assets for the purpose of IAS 38 are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. To qualify for recognition, an intangible asset must be identifiable and under the control of the entity. It must be probable that the entity will receive future economic benefits from the asset and its cost of acquisition and construction must be capable of being measured reliably.
The intangible assets of S IMMO are mainly software.
In accordance with IFRS 9, S IMMO Group classifies its financial instruments as follows:
This category consists of equity instruments that are not held for trading and which S IMMO has elected to recognise in other comprehensive income. The accounting treatment can be elected on initial recognition only and is irrevocable, but applies to each asset separately. S IMMO measures an interest at fair value through equity.
This category includes equity instruments that are not held for trading and are not designated at FVOCI. This involves shares in non-consolidated companies.
Financial assets that are not equity instruments and that meet the SPPI criterion are measured at amortised cost if the objective of the business model consists of holding the financial asset and collecting the contractual cash flows. Interest income, impairments and foreign currency effects and gains or losses on disposal must be recognised in profit and loss in this category.
Most of S IMMO's financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Derivatives are measured at fair value, adjusted for CVAs/ DVAs.
S IMMO Group classifies financial instruments into the following categories:
For financial assets for which there is no active market, the fair value is calculated with the aid of valuation models. This can involve the derivation of fair value from current transactions in similar financial instruments or from fair values of future payment streams (discounted cash flow models), or the use of mathematical models.
S IMMO Group uses derivative financial instruments – interest rate caps and swaps – to manage the existing interest rate risk. The derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. To a limited extent (in small amounts), corresponding adjustments on CVAs (credit value adjustments) and DVAs (debit value adjustments) have been taken into account in the valuation of derivatives.
S IMMO Group's business purpose includes the acquisition and development of properties for rental or subsequent sale with the aim of generating positive net cash flows. Business activities are financed through equity, and also through long-term borrowings in the form of mortgage loans and other financial liabilities.
The bulk of the external financing consists of variable-rate borrowings, with interest rates linked to the usual three-month EURIBOR as the base rate.
S IMMO Group's risk management strategy is to hedge the interest rate risk (i.e. the variability of the base rate) using offsetting hedges, in order to ensure fixed payment streams and to make property project forecasts more reliable. The purpose of cash flow hedging at S IMMO Group is to hedge interest payments from variable-rate loans by entering into corresponding interest rate derivatives.
The hedged interest rate risk is a market interest rate, the EURIBOR, which is an identifiable component of the interest rate risk on interest-bearing financial liabilities that can be separately assessed.
S IMMO Group uses as hedging instruments only those derivatives that, because they move in the opposite direction of the underlying transactions, convert the potential changes in cash flows, in particular from changes in interest rates, into fixed payment streams. The hedging instruments used at the moment are interest rate swaps. As of 31 December 2024, hedge accounting was applied for interest rate swaps with a nominal value of kEUR 570,154 (31 December 2023: kEUR 724,781). The effective portion of the change in fair value of these derivatives is recognised not through profit or loss but under other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognised through profit or loss as part of the financing results. No ineffective portions were realised through profit or loss in the 2024 financial year.
The changes in the valuation of cash flow hedges recognised under equity are transferred to the income statement in the period in which the hedged underlying transaction affects profit or loss or when the requirements for recognition as a cash flow hedge are no longer met. In the financial year 2024, derivative valuation effects including deferred tax of kEUR -6,236 (2023: kEUR -1,736) were reclassified from equity to the income statement.
In order to meet the requirements for hedge accounting, at the time of the derivative transaction S IMMO Group documents the hedging relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, the goals of its risk management and the underlying hedging strategy. The effectiveness of the hedge was assessed using a priori tests. If a critical-terms match exists, no significant ineffectiveness is expected from the hedging relationship.
For properties used by the owner (at present these are hotels) and for other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets where there is evidence of impairment, the recoverable amount is ascertained in accordance with IAS 36. The recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
The fair value is the amount that would be obtained by the sale of the asset in an arm's-length transaction between knowledgeable, willing and independent parties.
The value in use is the present value of the estimated future payment flows that can be expected from the continued use of an asset and its disposal at the end of its useful life.
If the recoverable amount is less than the book value of the asset, an impairment write-down is applied to the recoverable amount through profit or loss.
The impairment test for hotels is a two-stage process and is in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36. The book value is first compared with the hotel's fair value. If the book value exceeds the fair value, the question is then whether the value in use differs substantially from the fair value. If this is not the case, the book value is written down to correspond to the fair value. As of 31 December 2024, the fair values determined by external valuation reports of the hotels are significantly higher than their respective carrying amounts.
If the impairment no longer applies, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss, up to the lower of the new recoverable amount or the depreciated original cost of acquisition or construction. The Group had no impairment losses and no reversals of impairment losses in 2024 or the previous year.
S IMMO Group reviews all its financial assets, with the exception of those measured at fair value through profit or loss, at every balance sheet date for any objective indications that any asset or group of assets may have suffered impairment.
Under the IFRS 9 impairment model, impairments on debt instruments are recognised on the basis of expected credit losses (expected credit loss model). This rule applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost, lease receivables, loan commitments and certain financial guarantees.
The risk of default is the risk of financial loss from a customer or a party to a financial instrument failing to fulfil its contractual obligations. The book values of the financial assets are equal to the maximum risk of default.
The Group uses the simplified model for trade receivables and other financial assets without significant financing components and calculates the loss allowance accordingly at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses. To account for uncertainties relating to the impact of the current macroeconomic environment, forward-looking estimates were made for single tenants or – in the case of very small receivables – loss allowances required were calculated on the basis of the sector in which the tenants operate.
Trade receivables and other financial assets are derecognised if they are no longer recoverable according to a reasonable assessment. Indicators that recoverability is no longer possible, according to a reasonable assessment, include the debtor's failure to commit to a repayment plan with the Group or failure to make contractual payments for more than 365 days in arrears. Fluctuations in value of equity instruments included in the category FVOCI are recognised in other comprehensive income with no impact on profit or loss.
No impairments were recognised for other assets. This consisted mainly of prepaid expenses, tax receivables and prepayments.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and sight deposits together with bank deposits with a maturity of up to three months at the time of the original deposit. As of 31 December 2024, a provision of kEUR 9 (31 December 2023: kEUR 34) for bank balances was recorded based on the default probabilities observed in the market.
The individual companies in the Group recognise liabilities for current tax liabilities.
In accordance with IAS 12, deferred taxes are recognised on the temporary differences between the book value of an asset or liability in the consolidated financial statements and the relevant book value for tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities were recognised in full for the real estate assets. Deferred taxes are not recognised in connection with the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination within the meaning of IFRS 3 and at the time of the transaction affects neither the IFRS result nor the taxable result. This applies in particular to the acquisition of property holding companies, which do not constitute a business combination in the meaning of IFRS 3. Deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards are recognised in consideration of the respective usability in the opinion of the management. Deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards are recognised when sufficient deferred tax liabilities exist and it can be assumed that both deferred property liabilities and deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards will decrease in the future. Deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards are as a general rule recognised up to the amounts of deferred tax liabilities. Beyond that limit, deferred tax assets are recognised on the basis of tax planning with a planning horizon of a maximum of five years. Deferred taxes are calculated using the applicable tax rates at the balance sheet date, or, where changes in tax law have already been adopted, at the rates applicable in future.
Deferred tax claims and deferred tax liabilities within a taxable entity are only netted where this entity has a legally enforceable right to set tax assets and liabilities against each other, and where the deferred taxes relate to taxes on income assessable by the same tax authority on the same tax entity or where there is a right of set-off within a tax group, as in Austria.
The Group primarily leases property for subletting (including land with construction rights). Rental contracts are typically concluded for fixed periods but may include renewal options. As of 31 December 2024, there were no material renewal or termination options in connection with leases in accordance with IFRS 16. The rental conditions are negotiated individually and contain a range of different terms. In the financial year, there were no material modifications to contracts in accordance with IFRS 16.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability from the date on which the leased asset is made available to the Group for use. Each lease payment is divided into repayment and financing costs. Financing costs are recognised in income over the term of the lease so as to achieve a periodic rate of interest on the remaining amount of the liability for each period. Rights of use that are not attributable to investment property are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the underlying asset and the term of the lease. If the lease contains a purchase option that is likely to be exercised or is a lease that transfers ownership of the underlying asset at the end of the term, the right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the underlying asset. Construction rights are classified as investment property and measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 16.34 in the same way as for property.
In addition, there are leases for buildings that are owneroperated. The resulting right-of-use assets are recognised in the statement of financial position under "owner-operated properties" and are depreciated over the term of the lease.
Lease liabilities are recognised at the present value of the lease payments, composed as follows:
Lease payments are discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate, i.e. the interest rate that the Group would be required to pay to raise the funds to acquire an asset with a comparable value and comparable conditions in a comparable economic environment.
Right-of-use assets are carried at cost, composed as follows:
Payments for current leases and leases of low-value assets (EUR 5,000) are recognised as expense in profit or loss. Current leases are leases with a term of twelve months or less. The effects of minor and short-term leases on the Group are described under 5.4. Leases – Group as lessee.
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the rental agreement. One-off payments and waivers of rent as well as any other kind of rental incentive are spread over the minimum rental period. The allocation of operating costs that are associated with the legal ownership of the property and are not offset by the performance of a service in the narrower sense to the tenant is no longer recognised under revenues from operating costs, but instead under rental income.
Revenues from operating costs accrue from invoicing operating costs to tenants of portfolio properties and comprise revenues for the invoicing of electricity, the cleaning of buildings and the like. Typically, the composition of operating costs incurred and that can be invoiced varies depending on the type of use and jurisdiction. The operating costs are specified monthly and recognised as revenue pro rata temporis.
Revenues from hotel operations consist largely of room rental income and catering income. Income is recognised in proportion to the services rendered until the balance sheet date.
Income from financial instruments includes interest, dividends and capital gains from the investment of funds and from investments in financial assets, reversals of impairment losses, and exchange rate gains on the valuation of monetary assets and liabilities at the individual company level. Dividends are recognised at the time the resolution authorising the dividend distribution is passed.
Financial expenses include interest and similar expenses on external borrowings, incidental costs, losses on the disposal of financial assets, impairment losses, current hedging results and exchange rate losses on the valuation of monetary assets and liabilities at the individual company level.
Interest is accrued using the effective interest rate method.
The valuation of derivatives reflects, among others, gains and losses on the disposal or revaluation of interest caps and swaps which have not been recognised in equity and are shown in the income statement as part of the financial results.
The following analysis classifies financial instruments measured at fair value on the basis of the method of valuation. A hierarchy consisting of three levels has been defined for this purpose:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 2: | Valuation parameters other than the quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability either directly as prices or indirectly as derived from prices |

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires estimates and assumptions by the management about future developments. These can have a material influence on the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities, on information about other obligations at the balance sheet date and on disclosure of income and expenses during the financial year.
IFRS 13 defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are subject to ongoing review. Actual outcomes may differ from the assumptions and estimates made if developments in the business environment turn out differently than expected. Changes are reflected in profit or loss as soon as the altered circumstances become known, and the assumptions are adjusted accordingly.
The current macroeconomic situation, which is characterised by falling interest rates and a slow decrease in inflation rates, has potential effects on the balance sheet items listed below. This has manifested itself in particular in lower Euribor values and long-term EUR Swap rates for new borrowings and in the valuation of interest rate derivatives. Due to further interest rate cuts expected in the year 2025, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives fell further in the 2024 financial year. This had a significant impact on both the financial result and other comprehensive income. The future development cannot be quantified from today's perspective. This development has also been reflected in the cost and income situation, in particular increased operating cost expenses and operating cost revenues, and subsequently also inflation-related rent increases and thus an improved like-for-like performance of the rents. Price increases can also be observed in the area of construction costs. The developments of the macroeconomic environment are also reflected accordingly in the valuation of properties, as the main valuation parameters are derived on the basis of the market conditions prevailing on the respective reporting date. After the previous year saw significant devaluations due to high interest rates and inflation, the "result from property valuation" (see also note 3.2.6.) has largely stabilised in the current financial year. The future development of discount and capitalisation rates cannot be predicted in this area either. There are currently no signs of significant reductions in space or rents, increased defaults by tenants or specific difficulties in obtaining new credit financing on terms acceptable to S IMMO. These risks are countered by forward-looking portfolio management. S IMMO is not directly affected by the war in Ukraine because the Group has no properties or business relationships in Ukraine. However, the Group is indirectly affected by the impact of the war in Ukraine on the overall economic situation. A quantitative estimate of these indirect effects on the Group is currently not possible.
The assessment of whether or not acquisitions of property holding companies constitute a business combination within the meaning of IFRS 3 may also involve judgement. See more detailed explanations in notes 2.2.1 and 2.2.4.
The following assumptions entail a not insignificant risk that they may result in a material adjustment of assets and liabilities in the next financial year:
The calculation of the fair value of investment property is mainly based on expert valuations by internationally recognised valuers (CBRE, iO Partners). The valuations were prepared in compliance with the International Valuation Standards and the rules of IFRS 13. The values of these properties depend to a significant extent on present estimates of future rental trends and on the interest rates used for discounting purposes.
As of 31 December 2024, investment property has a book value of kEUR 3,130,755 (31 December 2023: kEUR 3,294,442). As of 31 December 2024, properties in the amount of kEUR 194,586 (31 December 2023: kEUR 84,515) were held for sale (including those properties that are part of a disposal group). The properties held for sale are attributable to the Austria, Germany, Czech Republic and Hungary segments.
The following measurement methods were used in calculating hierarchy Level 3 fair values:
In Austria and the CEE region, the hardcore and top-slice version of the investment method was generally applied.
Under the hardcore and top-slice version, the net income generated by a property – up to the market rent (the hardcore component) – is capitalised at a normal market interest rate as a perpetual yield over the entire term (term of the rental contract plus subsequent rental). The top-slice component (i.e. the net income that exceeds or falls below the market rent) is then discounted at a risk-adjusted market interest rate if necessary. The amount of the risk premium is dependent on the probability of vacancy.
In addition, the discounted cash flow method (DCF method) was used for the valuation of existing properties mainly in Austria and Hungary.
The discounted cash flow method determines the fair value in two phases. In phase 1 (usually ten years), the net cash flow (operating rental income after deduction of property-related expenses) is calculated explicitly using defined parameters and discounted to the valuation date using the selected discount rate. In phase 2 (at the end of the detailed cash flow period), the stabilised net rental income is calculated as a perpetual annuity using an appropriate capitalisation interest rate and also discounted to the valuation date.
The valuation of undeveloped land is based on a comparable value method. According to this method, the land values are determined from the realised purchase prices of other properties that are comparable in terms of location and property size.
The external appraiser is responsible for selecting the valuation method. Differences to the above-mentioned procedure are therefore possible.
Changes in the fair value of the existing properties, properties under construction, properties held for sale and properties sold are recognised through profit or loss in the income statement.
Different valuation methods were used in the various asset classes. Key parameters per segment and applied valuation method are shown below.
Depending on the risk evaluation – which is based, in general, on the asset class, the country and current market circumstances and, in particular, on the condition of the building, its location and occupancy rate – different interest rates are applied to the individual properties. The assumptions underlying the valuation, e.g. for market rents, rental default risks, vacancies or maintenance costs, are based on market assessments, on derived data or on the appraisers' experience. Comparable lease agreements and property transactions on the market are regularly monitored, filed and evaluated by the appraisers. These market benchmarks are then transferred to the target properties and estimates for future rents or a potential market price, in the event of a sale, are calculated.
Along with let properties, the following tables, also include the existing properties classified held for sale, in cases where current appraisals were available as of the balance sheet date.

A reduction in the expected annual rents leads to a reduction in the fair value, as does an increase in capitalisation rates. There are interdependencies between the rates because these are partly based on market values.

An increase in the price per m² would lead to an increase in fair value, while a decrease in the price per m² would lead to a decrease in fair value.
Expert valuations for existing properties are carried out at least once a year by independent professional experts for the purpose of preparing the annual financial statements. The professional experts are provided with the necessary information, such as current rents, by the company's Asset Management department. The market assumptions and valuation methods used in preparing the expert valuations are agreed with the appointed professional experts. The results of the valuations carried out by professional experts are reviewed by S IMMO's internal experts and agreed with the Management Board of S IMMO Group.
The fair values determined by the property appraisals are heavily dependent on the input factors underlying the valuation. For example: a change in the assumed rental income from a property or in the capitalisation rate has a direct effect on the fair value of the property and, in turn, on the revaluation results. Therefore, the derived fair values are directly related to the underlying parameters. Even minor changes in the economic or property-specific assumptions used for valuation can have a significant influence on S IMMO's consolidated net income.
The following table shows the change in the fair value of the property assets as of 31 December 2024 depending on the rental income and interest rates:
| 31 December 2024 | in mEUR | (0.25%) | 0.00% | 0.25% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ERV | (5.00%) | 3,291 | 3,157 | 3,033 |
| 0.00% | 3,456 | 3,317 | 3,191 | |
| 5.00 % | 3,621 | 3,479 | 3,350 |
For example, if the interest rate decreases by 0.25 basis points and rental income remains unchanged, the fair value of property assets increases by 4.2%.
The above data are based on the properties of the existing property portfolio, which were valued by external appraisers using the hardcore and top-slice or DCF method. Rights of use and properties classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 are excluded. As of 31 December 2024, the property
portfolio had a book value of EUR 3,325.3m (excluding owneroperated properties), the book value of S IMMO's property portfolio included in the sensitivity analysis totalled EUR 3,317.5m, or 99.8% of the property portfolio (excluding owner-operated properties) as of 31 December 2024.
The following table shows the change in the fair value of property assets as of 31 December 2024 depending on rental income and interest rates.
| 31 December 2023 | in mEUR | (0.25%) | 0.00% | 0.25% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ERV | (5.00%) | 3,176 | 3,045 | 2,926 |
| 0.00% | 3,337 | 3,202 | 3,077 | |
| 5.00 % | 3,500 | 3,358 | 3,227 |
As of 31 December 2023, the property portfolio had a book value of EUR 3,379.0m (excluding owner-operated properties), the book value of S IMMO's portfolio included in the sensitivity analysis totalled EUR 3,202.1m (excluding owner-operated properties), or 94.8% of the property portfolio as of 31 December 2023. In the previous year, properties for which no valuation reports were available (mainly properties valued due to transactions) were not included.
The classification of a disposal group as part of the property valuation may involve judgement. In the absence of a more specific definition of the term "separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations" (IFRS 5), the classification of a discontinued operation may be subject to judgement. Furthermore, the assessment as to whether a disposal within one year is highly probable may also involve a discretionary decision.
Estimates of the long-term value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are based on assumptions about the future. The calculation of recoverable amounts for the purpose of impairment tests is based on several assumptions, for example, about future net cash flows and discount rates. As in the previous year, external appraisers prepared valuation reports for owner-operated properties using the discounted cash flow method which were significantly higher than the book value of kEUR 92,857 (31 December 2023: kEUR 98,653). There were no indications of significant impairment as of 31 December 2024. The book value of intangible assets amounted to kEUR 844 (31 December 2023: kEUR 1,194), that of other property, plant and equipment to kEUR 4,079 (31 December 2023: kEUR 4,273).
In estimating the value of financial instruments (in particular, derivatives) for which no active market exists, alternative valuation methods based on investment mathematics are employed. The parameters on which estimates of fair value are based depend in part on assumptions about the future. The book values of financial instruments are detailed in note 5.1.
S IMMO Group's derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. The fair values of the swaps or caps are determined using a discounted cash flow method according to IFRS 13. The material input parameters are determined for the reporting date. They mainly consist of the euro interest yield curve and historical EURIBOR fixings. Market data are obtained from Bloomberg.
For the determination of credit value adjustments/debit value adjustments (CVA/DVA), credit spreads were defined to estimate the probability of default. For counterparties or bank groups for which a "CDS Spread Curve" is available, this was used.
The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect of a change in interest rates on the fair values of interest rate derivatives. It is assumed that interest rates will rise or fall by 50 or 100 basis points. The fair values are shown excluding interest accruals and excluding a credit risk premium.
| Sensitivity of derivatives | Interest rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| in EUR '000 | 31 December 2024 | ∆ 50 basis points | ∆ 100 basis points | |
| Fair value based on increase in interest rate | 56,924 | 83,359 | 108,926 | |

The recognition of deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards is based on the assumption that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future to enable existing loss carryforwards to be utilised. Deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards of kEUR 5,475 (31 December 2023: kEUR 7,102) have been recognised. Further information on deferred taxes can be found in note 3.1.16.
Assuming that the fair values of the properties were to change uniformly by +/-10% across the portfolio including IFRS 5, the deferred property taxes would change as follows given identical book values for tax purposes:
| EUR '000 | 10% | Output value for deferred tax 2024 (offset) -10% |
10% | Output value for deferred tax 2023 (offset) |

The measurement of the fair value of development projects and undeveloped land in the financial year 2024 was based on hierarchy Level 3. This relates to land reserves and projects for which significant construction or project development measures are already in progress as of the reporting date and for which generating rental income is of only minor significance.
Purchasing obligations for properties in the amount of kEUR 0 result from property purchasing contracts concluded until 31 December 2024 (2023: kEUR 6,080).
S IMMO capitalises borrowing costs that serve the purpose of acquiring, purchasing or manufacturing a qualifying asset also if the qualifying asset is measured at fair value. The capitalisation of borrowing costs in accordance with IAS 23 was immaterial for the financial year 2024, as in the financial year 2023.

The previous tax group in accordance with section 9 (1) Corporate Income Tax Act (Körperschaftsgesetz) with S IMMO AG as the parent company was terminated with retroactive effect from the beginning of 2023.
The company is now and with effect from the beginning of 2023 a group member of a tax group in accordance with section 9 (1) Corporate Income Tax Act.
There is an agreement governing tax equalisation between the parent company CPI Europe AG and S IMMO AG. S IMMO AG forms its own tax allocation group, which is made up of S IMMO AG itself and the S IMMO Group members (see also section 5.6. related party disclosures).
The tax rate changes relate to the change in the corporate income tax rate in Austria to 24% for the 2023 financial year and to 23% for subsequent financial years as part of the eco-social tax reform 2022. The tax rate in the Czech Republic was increased from 19% to 21% from 01 January 2024 on.
In December 2022, the member states of the European Union approved an EU directive on the implementation of a global minimum tax for multinational enterprise groups and large-scale domestic groups in the Union (EU Directive No. 2022/2523 from 14 December 2022). The directive required implementation by the EU member states into national law by 31 December 2023 with enactment as of 01 January 2024. This directive was implemented into national law by most of the EU member states in 2023 with an effective date of 01 January 2024.
The takeover of CPI Europe AG and S IMMO AG by CPI Property Group S.A. resulted in total revenues that exceed the threshold of EUR 750m. CPI Europe AG and the member companies of CPI Europe AG are therefore subject to the provisions of this EU directive and local minimum tax laws. CPI Property Group S.A. is the ultimate parent company of CPI Europe AG and the CPI Europe member companies.
However, CPI Europe AG is classified as a parent company in part ownership because over 20% of its shares are held by parties outside the Group. CPI Europe AG is therefore subject to the provisions of the Minimum Tax Reform Act on the low-taxed business units under its control and is required to pay a minimum tax in Austria.
All major countries (with the exception of Poland) where CPI Europe operates have enacted national tax regulations for minimum taxation in accordance with the EU directive which took effect at the end of 2022. These countries have implemented the regulations through a national top-up tax that took effect as of 01 January 2024. It is expected that top-up tax will be chargeable to the CPI Europe companies in Hungary (9%), Cyprus (12.5%), Croatia (10%, resp. 18%), Poland (9% or 19%) and Bulgaria (10%) because the applicable nominal tax rates in these countries are currently below 15%. It is also expected that, in the end, a national top-up tax will be introduced in all countries.
CPI Europe AG can require compensation from the other business units for the minimum tax it pays in line with the regulations defined by company law but no compensatory agreements have been concluded to date.
The country-specific report (CbCR) prepared by CPI Property Group S.A. involved an assessment in the individual jurisdictions based on the jurisdictional blending approach to determine whether and to what extent a top-up tax could result in the individual jurisdictions in 2024 which would have been payable by CPI Europe AG as a parent company in part ownership.
The basis for the analysis of a need for a provision as of 31 December 2024 was formed by the country-specific report for 2023 because it includes the latest calculations for a possible provision. This analysis assumed that the companies in all jurisdictions carried out similar activities at a similar scope in 2024 compared to 2023, against the background of constant economic conditions.
These analyses indicated that no material top-up taxes would be expected in 2024 due to the effective tax rates of over 15% in the individual jurisdictions. Only Hungary and Cyprus could be affected by a possible top-up tax. In Hungary, however, the effective tax burden also exceeds 15% due to the local business (innovation) tax. The analysis for Cyprus did not identify any material top-up taxes. A provision for Hungary and Cyprus is, consequently, not required.
The temporary exception from the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12, which was announced by the IASB in May 2023, was applied in 2024. Accordingly, deferred taxes arising from the application of the Minimum Tax Reform Act were not recognised.
Temporary differences between values in the IFRS consolidated statement of financial position and the corresponding values for tax purposes had the following effects on deferred taxes as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position:
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR '000 | Assets | Liabilities | Assets | Liabilities |
| Properties | 0 | -144,662 | 0 | -146,824 |

| Deferred tax assets (+)/liabilities (-) | 1,166 | -138,712 | 1,882 | -145,798 |
Of these totals, deferred taxes of kEUR 3,271 (2023: kEUR -3,608) for derivatives were recognised under other comprehensive income. No deferred tax assets have been recognised for tax loss carryforwards totalling kEUR 197,434 (31 December 2023: kEUR 148,960). The increase in unrecognised tax loss carryforwards is mainly due to acquisitions. Most of the tax loss carryforwards are available indefinitely. In CEE, there are some time constraints. Where this is the case, the ability to recognise deferred taxes is determined using projections. Over the next five years, kEUR 45,756 (2023: kEUR 28,923) of the unrecognised loss carryforwards will expire.
In accordance with IAS 12.39, no deferred taxes were recognised for temporary differences relating to interests in affiliated companies and joint ventures, as the profits accrued at subsidiaries remain invested indefinitely or are not subject to taxation on disposal.
In accordance with IAS 12.39 Income Taxes, no deferred tax liability was recognised for temporary differences relating to interests in subsidiaries. The difference between the book value for tax purposes and the IFRS equity amounts to kEUR 953,389 (2023: kEUR 1,113,642).
As of the reporting date, there are open one-seventh writedowns from historical tax depreciation of shareholdings in the amount of approximately kEUR 4,837 (2023: kEUR 5,682).
Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax rates in force or expected to apply in the relevant countries at the time of realisation. Changes in the tax legislation in force or approved at the balance sheet date are taken into account. The following table shows the applied tax rates as of 31 December 2024.

| Residential property | 132 | 1,183 |
| Rental income according to the consolidated income statement |
223,619 | 163,791 |
On the whole, rental income increased significantly compared to the previous year, which is mainly due to additions of rented properties.
The rental income and revenues from operating costs result almost entirely from investment properties. IFRS 16.17, in conjunction with IFRS 15.73–90, requires consideration received to be split into the components of the contract. This means that contract components are reclassified within revenue from revenues from operating costs totalling kEUR 7,476 (2023: kEUR 6,687) to rental income. Specifically, this does not affect operating cost allocations that are offset by the direct performance of a service to the tenant, but only costs that are associated with the ownership of the property, specifically current building taxes and insurance.
The revenues from hotel management have increased from kEUR 70,023 in 2023 to kEUR 76,503. Hotel revenues consist largely of room rental income of kEUR 46,306 (2023: kEUR 43,435) and income from the catering sector of kEUR 22,836 (2023: kEUR 20,788). At the gross profit level, a significant improvement was achieved with the result coming to kEUR 20,925 (2023: kEUR 17,279).
The expenses from property operations presented in the following table are almost exclusively expenses related to investment properties.
| EUR '000 | 2024 | 2023 |

Expenses of kEUR 2,000 (2023: kEUR 1,026) were attributable to properties not yet generating income. In the course of the improved business performance compared to the previous year, expenses from hotel management also increased (2024: kEUR 55,579; 2023: kEUR 52,744). They mainly include expenses for food, beverages, catering supplies, hotel rooms, licences and management fees, maintenance, operating costs, commissions, personnel expenses and advertising.
The properties held for sale include properties that were recognised as held for sale in the interim financial reports.
The proceeds from sales from share deals total kEUR 98,247 (2023: kEUR 27,525) and kEUR 57,510 (2023: kEUR 65,715 from asset deals.
Management expenses are expenses not directly attributable to properties; they were made up as follows:
| EUR '000 | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff costs | -13,292 | -11,973 | |
| Legal, audit, consulting and estimated costs |

| Other taxes and duties | -1,484 | -2,646 | |
| Other | -8,112 | -5,212 | |
| -44,474 | -26,430 |
The increase in service charges and administrative expenses compared to the previous year is due, on the one hand, to the expansion of the portfolio as a result of acquisitions made in the current financial year and, on the other hand, to the adjustment of the range of services and additional IT services required as a result of changes to the IT landscape.

The Group employed an annual average of 91.1 people (2023: 100) on a headcount basis, excluding Management Board and dormant employees or 37 people (2023: 83) excluding employees from discontinued operations. Including employees for hotel operations and excluding the Management Board and dormant employees, the average number of employees for the year was 778.1 (2023: 611) or 722 people (2023: 548) excluding employees from discontinued operations.
On a headcount basis in the discontinued operation the number of employees averaged 56.6 (2023: 62.8) over the year excluding the Management Board, dormant employees and trainees.
The personnel expenses disclosed here are salaries of the Group's employees other than the hotel staff. The amount also includes performance-related bonuses paid to certain employees under individual agreements. Personnel expenses for the hotels are disclosed under hotel operations.
As required by law, S IMMO Group pays 1.53% of the relevant monthly salaries into an employees' termination pay and pension fund for all employees who joined the Group in Austria after 31 December 2002. Personnel expenses included contributions of kEUR 98 (2023: kEUR 130) paid into the fund. For other defined contribution plans, kEUR 163 (2023: kEUR 194) were recognised in profit or loss.
This item comprises depreciation and amortisation on owneroperated properties, other plant and equipment, and intangible assets. Depreciation and amortisation were made up as follows:

An operating segment is defined as having the following characteristics:
S IMMO Group's segment reporting is based on countries (Austria, Germany, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Bulgaria (deconsolidated as of 30 June 2023)).
The operating segment Austria includes all of the Group's Austrian subsidiaries, apart from those with property in Germany. In the Germany segment, the continued and discontinued operations will continue to be presented together, in line with internal reporting to management.
The operating segment Germany includes the German subsidiaries and Austrian subsidiaries which hold properties in Germany.
The segment reporting is based on the internal reporting system for management purposes.
Each segment is operationally independent of the other, since each must take the local market and business environment into account. The Group's entire board of directors have been nominated as the chief operating decision makers with responsibility for segment operations. They are responsible for the allocation of resources to the individual segments and for reviewing their performance. Quarterly management reports are prepared for each operating segment and submitted to the Management Board.
In preparing and presenting the segment information, the same accounting and valuation policies are applied as for the consolidated financial statements. The book value of the interests in companies that are recognised according to the equity method breaks down to kEUR 8 for the segment of Austria (31 December 2023: kEUR 15,306), and kEUR 15,588 (31 December 2023: kEUR 15,317) for the segment of Slovakia.

The company currently uses swaps and caps to manage the interest rate risk in connection with variable-rate property financing.
Interest derivatives were disclosed under other non-current financial assets (31 December 2024: kEUR 57,665; 31 December 2023: kEUR 87,922), under other current financial assets (31 December 2024: kEUR 1,140; 31 December 2023: EUR 252), under assets held for sale (31 December 2024: kEUR 0; 31 December 2023: kEUR 0) and under other non-current financial liabilities (31 December 2024: kEUR 1,880; 31 December 2023: kEUR 1,115). The table below shows the maturity structure of all derivatives used by the Group.

In the 2024 financial year, interest rate derivatives without a hedging relationship with a positive fair value of kEUR 9,349 and interest rate derivatives with a hedging relationship of kEUR 0 were added (see also note 2.2.4.). In addition, interest rate derivatives without a hedging relationship with a positive fair value in the amount of kEUR 252 and interest rate derivatives with a hedging relationship in the amount of kEUR 9,292 were derecognised. Measurement changes totalling kEUR -30,860 (2023: kEUR -58,999) were recognised, of which kEUR -12,663 (2023: kEUR -33,271) excluding deferred taxes and deferred taxes for derivatives in the amount of kEUR 1,561 (2023: kEUR 3,182) in other comprehensive income. A total of kEUR 11,102 (2023: kEUR -30,089) was therefore recognised in other comprehensive income for measurement effects (excl. rollouts) from derivatives. In addition, derivative measurement effects including deferred taxes in the amount of kEUR -6,236 (2023: kEUR -1,736) were reclassified from equity to the income statement.
Since S IMMO Group's rental contracts are mostly linked to the euro and almost all of its loans are denominated in euros, the exchange rate risk is considered to be low.
The current and non-current financial liabilities include fixed-rate loans in the amount of kEUR 2,010 (31 December 2023: kEUR 75,146). The variable-rate loans are based on the threemonth EURIBOR with quarterly interest rate adjustments. In the 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 financial years, the company issued fixed-rate bonds. More details can be found in section 3.1.13.
The variable-rate loans are hedged using interest rate derivatives such as caps and swaps.
The cost of funding (based on variable and fixed interest financial liabilities including interest rate derivatives) as of 31 December 2024 is 2.67% (31 December 2023: 2.44%).
The sensitivity analysis below shows the impact of the variable market interest rate on the interest expense incurred in connection with financial liabilities, taking interest rate derivatives due into consideration. Interest expense is analysed in terms of how earnings before income taxes would have developed in the 2024 financial year assuming market interest rates were 50 and 100 basis points higher or lower on average. The analysis assumes that all other parameters remain constant. Changes in the valuation of interest rate derivatives as a result of changes in market interest rates were not taken into account.

As the majority of S IMMO Group's variable-interest financial liabilities are hedged by interest rate derivatives, the risk of a higher interest expense due to changes in interest rates is considered to be low.
S IMMO Group manages liquidity and financing risks actively. In order to mitigate the corresponding risks, continuous monitoring is carried out for all maturities and adjustments are made as part of the rolling budget process if necessary. In order to minimise the financing risk, the Group ensures that a balanced relationship is maintained between the amounts of loans and the fair values of the individual properties.
Loans primarily pertain to collateralised property financing entered into by the respective property company as the borrower. Property financing in the amount of EUR 1,359.89m includes customary market obligations (financial covenants) to ensure compliance with certain financial performance indicators by the property companies. In the event that individual financial performance indicators are not upheld and the borrower simultaneously fails to uphold the contractually defined and assured cure options, the banks are entitled to call in the respective loan early. The financial covenants are determined on the basis of the
outstanding residual debt and compliance is monitored on an ongoing basis. Financial performance indicators are determined on the basis of the outstanding balance due. Compliance with them is monitored on an ongoing basis. The thresholds for the financial performance indicators are presented in the table below:
| in % | Limit value | Actual value | Limit value remaining debt weighted |
Actual value remaining debt weighted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Debt service coverage ratio min | 100–275 | 140–570 | 125 | 197 |
| Level of debt max (loan to value) | 50–80 | 19–62 | 57 | 46 |
Beyond this, there were no specific indications as of the reporting date of any circumstances that could lead to non-compliance with the financial covenants within the next 12 months.
There was a covenant breach in the previous year, which is why a loan liability of kEUR 6,652 was reclassified from non-current other financial liabilities to current other financial liabilities.
In 2024, the loan to value ratio for secured financing amounted to 41.9% (2023: 44.0%) and for unsecured financing to 8.1% (2023: 5.0%). To keep lender risks to a minimum, S IMMO Group works with a total of 13 different, well-known European financial institutions.
The intention to sell properties or disposal groups comprising properties may give rise to the early repayment of financial liabilities (e.g. due to change-of-control clauses). The amendments to IAS 1 regarding the classification of long-term versus shortterm liabilities have clarified that management's intention regarding early repayment alone does not trigger reclassification to short-term liabilities. The same applies to circumstances that occurred after the balance sheet date but during the period in which the balance sheet was being prepared. A reclassification to current liabilities is therefore only carried out if the sales contract that triggers the change-of-control clause was signed before 31 December and only the closing is still outstanding. If the financial liability belongs to a disposal group, it is recognised under 'liabilities held for sale', otherwise, it is reclassified as a current financial liability. Any related prepayment penalties constitute changes in estimates in relation to the cash flows from the financial liabilities and lead to an adjustment of the book value through profit or loss. If the sales contract was only signed after 31 December, the disclosure remains long-term as of the reporting date. Financial liabilities with a book value of kEUR 13,200 as of 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: kEUR 0) are therefore reported as long-term, but an early repayment is expected.
The maturities of the undiscounted payment flows for future periods are as follows:

| Remaining maturity less than 1 year | 29,439 | 128,278 | 34,539 |

No liabilities from interest-rate-derivatives existed as of 31 December 2023.
The amounts disclosed as assets represent the maximum default risk since there are no significant netting agreements.
Provisions are recognised for default risks on receivables from tenants and purchasers of properties to the extent that such risks are recognised. The risk of rent defaults is partially secured by rent deposits and guarantees. In addition, borrower risks are countered by a careful selection of contractual partners, a credit check depending on the transaction volume and a certain geographical diversification exclusively across stable EU countries. The procedure for the determination of these provisions is explained in note 2.6.
The real estate sector is responsible for around one-third of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Efforts to reduce this share on the basis of new regulations are correspondingly extensive. S IMMO has developed a comprehensive climate plan for 2024 that defines the gradual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. The plan is based on the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement and the provisions of the European Green Deal, which sets out the EU's legal framework for a sustainable transformation. In addition, the company will increasingly focus on measures to increase energy efficiency in the coming years. The energy efficiency of buildings – together with energy generation – is also of central importance in the context of the EU taxonomy. For this reason, S IMMO has consistently pursued the installation of photovoltaic systems and thermal improvements to buildings, which will continue in the coming years. This important contribution to decarbonisation is one of the integral components of S IMMO's ESG strategy.
In the area of climate risks, climate models show a stronger temperature increase in S IMMO's core markets. At the same time, the probability of longer dry periods is increasing. Both developments are taken into account in the context of building renovations and are included in the project development considerations. In addition, risks have been identified in connection with long-term weather changes, with a focus on the availability of water resources and water supply in Romania. Models predict an increase in extreme weather events in the area of natural hazards, with flooding in particular being considered one of the greatest risks. Acute and classified as extreme hazards primarily affect areas near rivers. In the Czech Republic and in Slovakia there is an increased risk from heavy precipitation. The risk is mitigated by structural measures. In addition, all of S IMMO's properties are insured against natural hazards. The properties S IMMO uses itself are not exposed to high overall climate risk, which is why there are no indications of a possible impairment in value or a need to adjust the useful lives.
S IMMO sees opportunities particularly in the area of the energy transition. The focus here is on the conversion from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources and the diversification of energy sources. The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions by educating and working with tenants. In addition, measures are being taken in the areas of water, climate and biodiversity, supported by investments in innovative and sustainable building technologies.
In line with the four pillars of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and in accordance with the requirements of the EU taxonomy, climate risk analyses were carried out for all properties in 2023 and 2024.
Sustainability and environmental aspects are also an integral part of the valuation approach for property valuation, both for investment properties and for owner-operated properties. Sustainability is understood to mean the consideration of aspects such as the environment and climate change, health and well-being, and corporate responsibility that affect or may affect the valuation of a property. In a valuation context, sustainability encompasses a wide range of physical, social, environmental and economic factors that can affect value.
These range from key environmental risks such as flooding, energy efficiency and climate to issues of design, fixtures and fittings, accessibility, legislation, administration and tax considerations, and current and historical land use. Sustainability affects the value of a property, even if this is not explicitly reflected in the valuation report.
The impact of sustainability on valuation reflects the valuers' understanding of how market participants incorporate sustainability aspects into their offers and what impact this has on market valuations. Sustainability criteria or ESG ratings are increasingly influencing the value of real estate assets, particularly on the basis of achievable rents and capitalisation rates that reflect the risks of the investment. The valuation experts monitor these factors closely in the market and reflect them in their valuations.
Some of the valuation experts also conduct their own research and analysis to identify and understand market trends and to obtain comparative data on rents and prices in the respective market segment, which are also the most important input factors for valuations in the context of sustainability and environmental aspects. Based on this ongoing observation of the behaviour of market participants by the valuation experts and the ESG-specific information on the individual properties, the valuation experts have adjusted their estimates of market rent levels, vacancy periods and capitalisation rates accordingly.
An increased willingness to price in premiums for 'green' buildings is already apparent on both the tenants' and investors' sides. Although these premiums are currently still relatively low, it is expected that this effect will intensify significantly in the coming years, as 'brown' buildings will experience higher discounts on rents and prices.
Depending on how they develop, climate risks can not only change the market interest rates or rents used in valuations, but also lead to a situation in which future green financing, such as green bonds, is no longer available or only available at less favourable conditions.
S IMMO currently uses several green bonds to finance and refinance projects that are in line with its Sustainable Bond Framework. This follows the Green Bond and Social Bond Principles of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and requires the proceeds to be used exclusively in the areas of green buildings, energy efficiency, renewable energy and affordable housing. At the present time, all projects financed have been assigned to the area of green building-certified buildings and allocated accordingly.
No climate risks have been identified to date that would require the recognition of provisions or the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Furthermore, the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and energy consumption reduction targets set by S IMMO as part of the group-wide ESG strategy do not currently have any specific accounting implications.
In this context, it should be mentioned that ESG measures and investments can certainly have a positive influence on sustainable rents and possibly lower operating costs and non-recoverable costs. In the short term, this effect rarely impacts the value of the respective property to this extent. However, such investments counteract future rent reductions and prevent a property from becoming a 'stranded asset' due to a poor ESG rating and a decline in demand in an increasingly sensitive market.
Climate risks therefore do not have a material impact on S IMMO's consolidated financial statements at present.
The rental agreements concluded by S IMMO Group are classified under IFRS 16. These rental agreements are as a rule protected by linking the rents to the euro and to international indices.

S IMMO Group was involved in a number of open legal disputes at the balance sheet date. However, the amounts involved were not significant and even in total the amount was not material in the management's estimation.
The subsidiaries of S IMMO AG, S IMMO Germany GmbH and SIAG Deutschland Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG have sold all their shares in SIAG Berlin Wohnimmobilien GmbH. The share purchase agreement was completed on 31 March 2023. Against the closing date and the final purchase price calculation the buyer filed an objection, whereupon due to the buyer's objections on 10 October 2023 the seller companies initiated the arbitration proceedings provided for in the share purchase agreement. The arbitration proceedings are currently still ongoing and the outcome of these proceedings cannot be currently predicted with sufficient certainty, however we consider the objections of the purchaser as unfounded and we are not aware of any material circumstances which would prevent the fulfilment of our receivables from the share. As of 31 December 2024, there is a purchase price receivable in the amount of kEUR 6,757.
S IMMO AG and its affiliated company PCC-Hotelerrichtungsund Betriebsgesellschaft m.b.H. & Co. KG hold land register shares in the property EZ 1753, KG 01004, in which condominium ownership is established. On 08 November 2023, the condominium owner of the property's car park filed an application with the district court against all other condominium owners to carry out maintenance work pursuant to section 30(1) item 1 WEG in conjunction with section 52(1) item 3 WEG. In the application the condominium owner of the car park requests that the district court decide on maintenance measures for parts of the property located in the garage. The proceedings before the district court have not yet been concluded, and the rules of procedure for the taking of evidence have been postponed to Q2 2025. Beyond the proceedings before the district court, contact and discussions have taken place between the parties out of court, but these have not yet resulted in the proceedings before the district court being terminated. It is therefore not yet possible to assess the outcome of the dispute.

S IMMO Group (S IMMO AG and its subsidiaries) is an international property group whose business is long-term real estate investments in the form of the purchase, retention and sale of properties, project development, letting, asset management, building revitalisation and refurbishment as well as the operation of hotels. The company operates in Austria, Germany, and CEE (Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania) and owns properties in each of the aforementioned countries. The portfolio consists of offices, commercial property, hotels and a small share of residential properties. S IMMO does not engage in research and development.
S IMMO AG is headquartered in Vienna. The Group holds numerous project, property and holding companies. S IMMO AG was listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange from 1987 to December 2024, in the Prime Market segment between 2007 and 2024. As of 31 December 2024, the Group employed 643 people (2023: 100) excluding Management Board and dormant employees and including employees for hotel operations. Following the successful squeeze-out of minority shareholders, CPI Europe (formerly IMMOFINANZ) has been the sole shareholder of S IMMO AG since December 2024.
As of 31 December 2024, S IMMO Group's property portfolio consisted of 157 properties (31 December 2023: 244) with a book value of EUR 3.418,2m (31 December 2023: EUR 3,477.6m).

The properties are located in the European Union and have a gross leasable area (total lettable area excluding parking spaces) of around 1.3 million m² (31 December 2023: 1.5 million m²). The high quality of the portfolio and asset management is reflected in strong occupancy rates and returns. The occupancy rate of the portfolio as a whole was 92.2% (31 December 2023: 90.6%). The calculation of the occupancy rate includes all investment properties in the narrower sense (i.e. excluding investment properties with development potential and owneroperated hotels). The overall rental yield came to 6.8% (31 December 2023: 6.8%). The WAULT (weighted average unexpired lease term) was 3.9 years (31 December 2023: 4.1 years).

1 The rental yield describes the ratio of the annual rent generated to property value. The calculation includes all investment properties in the narrower sense (i.e. excluding investment properties with development potential and owner-operated hotels). The rent is calculated on an annual basis for properties added over the course of the year.
The company through its sustainable business policy aims to secure its long-term profitability and to continuously improve its earnings figures. As a portfolio, it invests in properties that have a direct positive impact on earnings. A strong focus here is always on high-quality, certified properties that meet clearly defined ESG criteria.
Since 2022, S IMMO AG has been part of the CPI Property Group, with CPI Property Group S.A. initially holding 88.37% of the share capital of S IMMO AG (of which 50% plus one share was held through CPI Europe AG). In the course of 2024, CPI Europe acquired additional shares in S IMMO AG from its core shareholder CPI Property Group S.A., thereby increasing its stake to 89% of S IMMO shares. At the same time, in summer 2024, CPI Europe announced its intention to effect a squeezeout, which at that time involved approximately 7.13% of the share capital. A resolution on the squeeze-out of minority shareholders was passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting held in October 2024, with the squeeze-out subsequently completed in December 2024 with its registration in the Commercial Register and delisting of the S IMMO share from the Vienna Stock Exchange. Following the successful squeeze-out, CPI Europe is the sole shareholder of S IMMO AG. In addition, S IMMO AG holds roughly 3.3 million treasury shares.
One of the defined goals is to create synergies within the Group. With this in mind, CPI Property Group and CPI Europe took on asset management responsibilities for S IMMO properties located in Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic and Austria. Synergies have also been leveraged in other areas. For example, several departments such as financing, consolidation and ESG have already been integrated into CPI Europe AG to boost efficiency. As part of this process, certain employees from S IMMO have also been acquired. In terms of ESG, work to standardise and establish a joint ESG strategy, which consists of targets in relation to environment, social and governance topics, began in the 2022 financial year. A Group-wide materiality assessment was carried out in the 2024 financial year. Further mergers of competence areas and departments are planned for the first half of 2025.
Over the past few years, the Management Board and Supervisory Board have repeatedly adjusted the portfolio strategy to account for the economic situation, achievable property returns and market values. The focus was on selling low yielding German properties. In Germany, almost all of the properties have been sold by this point. Some transactions are yet to be closed and are expected to be completed by the end of the first half of 2025. The sale of two remaining properties in Germany is planned in 2025. Accordingly, the withdrawal from the German market is expected to take place in the course of 2025/26.
In addition to the property sales in Germany, the strategy adjustment also entails the sale of properties in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria. In Austria, a total of seven commercial properties with a total value of over EUR 60m were sold in the past financial year in line with the company's strategy. Further sales in Vienna are also planned for 2025, depending on the market situation. The liquidity obtained from this creates the basis for future growth and earnings.
In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2024, S IMMO successfully completed the sale of Hotel Juliš in Prague with a gross leasable area of roughly 6,700 m² and signed the contract for the sale of Hotel Ramada Prague City Centre. The transaction was closed in January 2025. Apart from that, S IMMO AG withdrew completely from the Croatian market in 2024.
There were changes in both the Management Board and the Supervisory Board in the 2024 financial year. Effective as of 02 February 2024, the Management Board contract with Herwig Teufelsdorfer was terminated by mutual agreement. Tomáš Salajka was appointed as his successor on the Management Board. In December 2024, the Supervisory Board and Tomáš Salajka mutually agreed to dissolve his Management Board mandate effective as of 10 December 2024. At the same time, the Supervisory Board decided to appoint Pavel Měchura, who is already a member of the Management Board of CPI Europe AG and has been CFO of CPI Property Group S.A. since December 2024 as well as Vít Urbanec, who was recently a member of the Supervisory Board of S IMMO AG, to the Management Board of S IMMO AG.
As of 31 December 2024, the Supervisory Board consisted of three shareholder representatives and one employee representative. Martin Matula (chairman of the Supervisory Board), Vladislav Jirka (first deputy chairman of the Supervisory Board), Matej Csenky (second deputy chairman of the Supervisory Board) and Andreas Feuerstein (employee representative). Vít Urbanec was a member of the Supervisory Board until 10 December 2024 before he joined the Management Board of S IMMO AG on 11 December 2024. Elisabeth Wagerer was an employee representative on the Supervisory Board until 02 February 2024 (please refer to section 5.6. of the notes for more information).
Together with the Supervisory Board, the Management Board pursues a responsible and long-term management strategy aimed at enhancing earnings and increasing the Group's value on a long-term basis.
Global economic growth is projected at 3.2% for 2024, with the growth rates differing significantly from region to region. The increase in conflicts around the world along with another uptick in financial market risks will dampen growth in the coming years. The European Union achieved economic expansion of 1.1% (2023: 0.2%) in 2024 while the euro area saw growth of 0.9% (2023: 0.1%). According to forecasts, the EU economy will grow by 1.5% in 2025 and 1.8% in 2026 while growth for the euro area will be slightly lower at 1.3% and 1.6%, respectively. Thanks to falling energy prices, inflation dropped to 2.7% (2023: 3.4%) in the EU and even more significantly to 2.4% (2023: 2.9%) in the euro area in 2024. In 2025 and the subsequent years, persistent inflationary pressure is expected from the service sector, which will slow the decline in inflation. As such, inflation is projected to come in at 2.4% in 2025 before falling to 2.0% in 2026. In the euro area, the expected decline is more significant, with rates forecast to come in at 2.1% and 1.9%, respectively. The employment situation has proven to be a stabilising factor for the European economy. Despite lower demand from private households, it is still making a major contribution to GDP growth. Unemployment in the EU was 5.9% at the end of the year (2023: 5.9%) and is expected to remain at this level in the coming years. The unemployment rate was higher in the euro area, at 6.3% (2023: 6.4%).
Last year, the Austrian economy struggled with a recessionary trend for the second year in a row. A combination of weak export demand, declining investments and meagre private consumer demand contributed to this effect. At the end of the year, gross domestic product was 0.2% lower than the prior-year figure (2023: minus 1.3%). Thanks to a recovery of export demand, growth rates of 1.0% and 1.4% are projected for 2025 and 2026, respectively. Inflation continued to decline last year, coming in at 2.1% at the end of the year (2023: 5.7%). In the coming years, inflation rates are expected to stabilise. Inflation is projected at 2.1% for 2025 and 1.7% for 2026. The unemployment rate was 5.3% at the end of December (2023: 5.6%) and will likely remain at this level in 2025 before falling to 5.0% in 2026.
The Hungarian economy is benefiting from the stable labour market and high private demand, but at the same time, government investment has declined significantly. On the whole, this resulted in growth of 0.2% last year (2023: -0.7%). Although energy and food prices fell in 2024, price increases in the service sector and high wage increases led to inflation of 4.8% (2023: 5.5%). Inflation is expected to decline slightly in the coming years, with experts projecting a rate of 3.6% in 2025, followed by a further drop to 3.2% in 2026. The unemployment rate was 4.3% at the end of the year (2023: 4.2%). The unemployment rate is expected to remain nearly unchanged over the next two years, coming in at 4.3% and 4.1%, respectively.
In Romania, stable consumer demand supported the economy despite weak exports, leading to growth of 0.7% (2023: 2.2%). Export activity is expected to recover in the next two years. Accordingly, economic growth is projected at 2.5% for 2025 and 2.9% for 2026. Inflation amounted to 5.5% at the end of the year (2023: 7.0%). Only a slight decline in inflation is expected over the next two years, and the central bank's target of 2.5% will likely not be reached until the end of 2026. The unemployment rate in Romania fell slightly once again and totalled 5.2% at the end of the year (2023: 5.4%). A minor increase is anticipated for the next two years, with rates coming in at 5.5% and 5.4%, respectively.
The Czech economy saw a turnaround, with growth of 1.6% last year (2023: -0.2%). A recovery in the purchasing power of private households is expected to result in growth rates of 2.4% and 2.7%, respectively, in the coming years. Inflation was 3.3% at the end of 2024 (2023: 7.6%). Falling energy prices should push inflation down to 2.4% in 2025 and 2.0% in 2026. Unemployment came to 2.6% at the end of 2024 (2023: 2.8%). A stable unemployment rate of 2.7% is expected for each of the next two years.
The Slovakian economy expanded by 1.7% last year (2023: 1.3%) thanks to government investments. Due to tax hikes and budget consolidation measures, growth of 2.3% is expected in 2025, followed by 2.5% in 2026. The inflation rate was 3.2% at the end of December 2024 (2023: 6.6%). A temporary increase in inflation to 5.1% is projected for 2025, followed by a return to the general trend with a rate of 3.0% in 2026. The unemployment rate was 5.3% at the end of the year (2023: 5.8%). The decline in unemployment is expected to continue, with a rate of 5.3% in 2025 and 5.1% in 2026.
The transaction volume on the European real estate market rose to EUR 206.0bn in 2024 (2023: EUR 162.3bn). A particularly strong fourth quarter of 2024 with turnover of EUR 68bn contributed to this growth. In Europe, residential properties were the most sought-after asset class. The office segment saw turnover growth of 11% to EUR 42.2bn, and the retail segment posted growth of 26% to EUR 33.9bn thanks to an especially strong fourth quarter. The hotel segment enjoyed the highest growth, at 34% and turnover of EUR 19.5bn.
The falling interest rates will likely lead to a further market upswing and further growth in the transaction volumes in 2025. The trend towards prime properties is expected to continue, with both location and ESG criteria playing an important role.
The transaction volume on the Austrian real estate market failed to follow the trend for Western Europe and declined by 6% to EUR 2.6bn (2023: EUR 2.8bn) last year. Office properties accounted for the biggest portion of the transaction volume, at EUR 859m, followed by residential properties at EUR 648m. Turnover for retail properties declined to EUR 104m. Prime yields for office properties remained constant at 5.0% (2023: 5.0%).
The Vienna office market offered 11.6 million m² of modern office space at the end of 2024. Take-up was similar to the prioryear level, at 161,000 m² (2023: 174,000 m²). Completions of new office space increased to 87,000 m² (2023: 45,800 m²). The vacancy rate declined again slightly to 3.4% (2023: 3.6%) while prime rents amounted to EUR 28.00/m²/month.
Retail space in Austria totalled 13.9 million m² at the end of 2024. Consumer confidence improved somewhat last year, but the growth in purchasing power did not lead to an increase in consumer spending, as the savings rate climbed accordingly.
The Austrian hotel market continued to grow in 2024. For the capital Vienna, last year was even the most successful since records began. Around 18.9 million overnight stays in the federal capital represent an increase of 9.0% over the previous year. According to CBRE, rising revenues and increasing operational hotel performance are generally contributing to positive sentiment in the industry.
The Budapest office market offers 4.5 million m² of modern space. Take-up increased significantly last year to 502,200 m² (2023: 352,000 m²). Completions totalled 103,600 m² (2023: 180,000 m²). Another 503,000 m² are currently under construction. Vacancy increased to 14.1% (2023: 13.3%) due to the completions. Average rents increased by 4.5% to EUR 14.85/m²/ month while prime rents remained unchanged at EUR 25.00/m²/ month.
The transaction volume in Romania came to EUR 733m in 2024 (2023: EUR 499m), thus increasing by 47% from a very low level. The retail segment enjoyed the highest demand, with turnover of EUR 234m. Turnover recovered for office properties, reaching a market share of EUR 159m. The prime yield was 7.75% for both shopping centres and office properties (2023: 7.75%).
The Bucharest real estate market comprised 3.41 million m² of office space at the end of 2024. Last year, 16,100 m² of new space were completed (2023: 110,000 m²). New space totalling roughly 64,000 m² (2023: 16,100 m²) is currently under construction. Take-up declined again by around 19% to 383,300 m² (2023: 476,000 m²). Vacancy dropped to 12.1% by the end of the year (2023: 14.7%). Prime rents in the city centre increased and now amount to EUR 21.00/m²/month while average rents remained constant compared to the previous year at EUR 15.70/ m²/month.
Romania currently has 4.5 million m² of retail space. New construction totalled 196,800 m² in 2024 (2023: 251,000 m²). The focus of development activity is on retail parks in secondary and tertiary cities. Discounters in particular are expanding strongly. Peak rents in shopping centres were EUR 80.00/m²/month, while those in retail parks were between EUR 8.00 and EUR 15.00/m²/month.
The transaction volume on the Czech real estate market rose by 41%, totalling roughly EUR 2.0bn (2023: EUR 1.4bn). Office properties generated turnover of around EUR 360m, and prime yields for this asset class increased to 5.6% (2023: 5.4%).
The Prague office market comprised roughly 3.96 million m² of modern space at the end of 2024. Completions totalled 72,800 m² in 2024 (2023: 98,400 m²) and were thus 26% lower than in the previous year. Another 164,300 m² are currently under construction (2023: 100,000 m²). Take-up came to 557,100 m² (2023: 541,900 m²). The vacancy rate rose slightly to 7.4% (2023: 7.2%). Prime rents rose to EUR 29.50/m²/month while average rents fell to EUR 17.10/m²/month (2023: EUR 17.75 to 18.25/m²/month).
The transaction volume on the Slovakian real estate market declined by around 19% to EUR 537m last year (2023: EUR 664m). Retail properties reached a market share of roughly 23%, or EUR 124m (2023: EUR 93m). Office properties accounted for 18%, or EUR 97m (2023: EUR 467m). Prime yields in the office segment remained constant at 6.0% (2023: 6.0%).
The available space at office properties in Bratislava remained unchanged versus the previous year in 2024, at 2.1 million m². No new office space was completed in 2024 (2023: 114,000 m²). Around 44,000 m² (2023: 21,000 m²) are currently under construction. The vacancy rate fell to 12.7% (2023: 14.2%) due to the lack of new space. Take-up increased by roughly 8.0% to 198,800 m² (2023: 183,500 m²). Prime rents increased to EUR 19.50/m²/month while average rents remained unchanged at EUR 15.50/m²/month.
The hotel market in the CEE region is continuing to see positive developments following the recovery in recent years. This trend is expected to continue.
The Germany segment was defined as discontinued operations as of the 2024 financial year. In this context, the net result for the period was divided into two parts – continuing operations and discontinued operations (see section 2.4. in the notes) – and the prior-year figures were also adjusted accordingly.
In the consolidated income statement, the income (after taxes) for the discontinued operations is presented in a separate line for both the 2024 period and the 2023 period. Therefore, the following explanations pertaining to the consolidated income statement do not contain any contributions from the discontinued operations in Germany. Detailed information can also be found in the notes to the consolidated annual financial statements.
Earnings performance in the 2024 financial year was characterised by the following factors in particular: Despite the sales, a significantly improved operating result was achieved due to the acquisition of profitable rented properties in Austria and the Czech Republic, a good like-for-like performance of rental income and an increase in hotel earnings. Positive property valuations were also recorded, mainly due to the acquisition of properties in the Czech Republic. The financial result was also characterised by increased expenses related to interest on loans.
One significant event in the 2024 financial year was the sale of properties in Germany, Austria, Croatia and the Czech Republic.
Overall, EBITDA increased year-on-year to EUR 184.8m (2023: EUR 125.0m). Thanks to positive results from property valuation in the amount of EUR 65.2m (2023: EUR 9.1m), EBIT improved from EUR 125.1m to EUR 242.1m.
The negative effects in the financial result on the one hand and higher expenses due to income taxes led to consolidated net income of EUR 122.9m (2023: EUR 55.1m). Earnings per share rose from EUR -0.46 to EUR 0.85.
Rental income for the 2024 financial year amounted to EUR 223.6m (2023: EUR 163.8m), which was over 36.5% higher than in the previous year. This increase is attributable to acquisitions as well as considerable like-for-like improvements in the existing portfolio.

Revenues from hotel operations improved year-on-year to EUR 76.5m (2023: EUR 70.0m), and were thus well above the pre-pandemic level of 2019 (EUR 59.1m). Overall, revenues rose from EUR 287.6m to EUR 381.0m in 2024.
Expenses from property operations increased to EUR 105.2m as a result of inflation and property purchases (2023: EUR 85.1m). This development was also due to higher operating costs, only some of which were passed on to existing tenants.
Broken down by country, rental income for the reporting period excluding this financial year's reclassification of parts of the revenues from operating costs was as follows: Austria contributed around 18.8% (2023: 19.2%), Hungary 22.4% (2023: 31.1%), Romania 21.9% (2023: 28.6%), the Czech Republic 30.4% (2023: 9.1%), Slovakia 5.1% (2023: 7.1%) and Croatia 1.4% (2023: 5.0%). In terms of main types of use, and excluding operating cost allocations recognised in rental income, commercial properties excluding hotels (office and retail) contributed 95.7% (2023: 94.6%) of rental income, hotels contributed 4.2% (2023: 4.7%) and residential properties contributed a share of 0.1% (2023: 0.7%).
Gross profit from hotel operations improved by 21.1% from EUR 17.3m to EUR 20.9m. Gross profit for the entire property portfolio, which reflects the operating performance of both rental properties and owner-operated hotels, rose sharply to EUR 229.2m (2023: EUR 151.5m), the highest level in the company's history.
Despite negative non-recurring effects from personnel costs, higher other administrative expenses due to ongoing projects and increased expenses, EBITDA also reached a new all-time high of EUR 184.8m (2023: EUR 125.0m).
In the financial year 2024, acquisitions were made in the amount of EUR 414.6m. These relate to office and commercial portfolios, most of which are located in Prague.
Disposals totalled EUR 497.0m (2023: EUR 682.4m) and primarily pertained to Germany, Austria and Croatia. The assets classified as held for sale relate to the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria and the Germany segment.
Despite the difficult conditions at present, the property valuation result came to EUR 65.2m (2023: EUR 9.1m). Specifically, Austria accounted for EUR -15.3m (2023: EUR -27.6m), Hungary for EUR -4.3m (2023: EUR -17.4m), Romania for EUR 6.2m (2023: EUR -9.8m), the Czech Republic for EUR 79.5m (2023: EUR 69.4m), Slovakia for EUR -2.2m (2023: EUR -6.2m), Croatia for EUR 1.2m (2023: EUR 0.1m) and Bulgaria for EUR 0m (2023: EUR 0.6m). Due to the new all-time-high operating result, EBIT increased by 93.5% to EUR 242.1m (2023: EUR 125.1m).
The financial result declined year-on-year to EUR -83.7m (2023: EUR -67.5m), mainly due to higher bank interest expenses.
The cost of funding (based on variable- and fixed-interest financial liabilities including bonds and derivatives) totalled 2.67% as of 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: 2.44%).
Due to the sharp rise in the operating result, consolidated net income increased substantially year-on-year to EUR 122.9m (2023: EUR 55.1m) as a result of the aforementioned non-cash property valuation effects and the negative non-cash effects from derivative valuations. Taking the discontinued operations in Germany into consideration, consolidated net income increased significantly from EUR -41.4m to EUR 63.5m in 2024.
Cash flow from operating activities for 2024 amounted to EUR 165.4m (2023: EUR 153.8m). Cash flow from investing activities was characterised not only by acquisitions (mainly in Austria and the Czech Republic) but also by disposals (predominantly in Germany), and totalled EUR 56.4m (2023: EUR -131.5m). Cash flow from financing activities came to EUR -427.0m (2023: EUR 176.4m).
S IMMO Group's total assets declined from EUR 4,179.9m to EUR 3,854.2m, and the equity ratio increased slightly from 40.7% to 40.8%.
Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 236.6m at the end of the year (31 December 2023: EUR 445.1m). Equity not including non-controlling interests declined to EUR 1,536.0m as of 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 1,648.4m). Accordingly, the book value per share fell to EUR 21.85 (31 December 2023: EUR 23.43).
All of S IMMO's loan liabilities are denominated in euros. As of 31 December 2024, around 0.1% of the long-term loans were fixed-rate (31 December 2023: 7%) and 99.9% were variablerate (31 December 2023: 93%). S IMMO reduces the risk of rising interest rates on variable-rate financing by engaging in interest rate hedges.

As of 31 December 2024, S IMMO's liabilities to banks were spread among 13 individual banks (2023: 19). The average maturity of non-current liabilities to banks was 4.4 years (2023: 5.0 years).
More information on related party transactions can be found in section 5.6. of the notes to the consolidated annual financial statements.
As an international real estate group, S IMMO Group encounters a multitude of opportunities and risks that impact operating activities, decision-making processes and strategic management. By identifying, analysing, managing and monitoring opportunities and risks, the Group strives to recognise potential as well as identify negative developments and potential risk factors in a timely manner, understand their cause and minimise them as far as possible. Nevertheless, the occurrence of risks cannot be completely ruled out. S IMMO is engaged in long-term real estate investments in the form of the purchase, retention and sale of properties, project development, letting, asset management, revitalisation and refurbishment of buildings and the operation of hotels and shopping centres. The properties are located in the capitals and larger cities of Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and other CEE countries. The portfolio consists primarily of offices, but also includes shopping centres and hotels. Recently, S IMMO has been busy selling German properties with low yields as well as small to mid-sized office properties with limited development potential – primarily in Croatia, the Czech Republic and Austria. The proceeds from the sales create the basis for future growth and earnings .
S IMMO performs the identification, management, assessment and handling of risks based on a standard risk catalogue in close consultation with risk owners in all segments and at the holding company level. On this basis, formalised, identical Group-wide documentation – interconnected with a quantitatively uniform assessment system – of the decisions regarding the risk appetite for each individual item of the standard risk catalogue is established, while the company's risk positions are presented for each segment and at the holding company level using an aggregation function. The basis for risk identification lies with the respective risk owners, thus ensuring comprehensive bottom-up information for the Management Board. At Group level, central risk management is managed by a risk manager. This person also acts as risk coordinator and reports regularly to the entire Management Board.
In addition to internal guidelines and regulations, S IMMO's risk management includes ongoing reports to the Management Board as part of regular meetings. Furthermore, there are control measures in place in the Group for the purpose of the early detection, management and monitoring of risks. Key decisions relevant to risk are made by the Management Board. Investment and divestment projects above a specific volume also require approval from the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board is regularly informed about the current risk assessment, potential risks and the Internal Control System in the course of the Audit Committee meetings that are held at least twice a year. The risk groups set out in this section have been and will be regularly analysed and assessed retrospectively for financial year 2024 and also with regard to business activities in 2025.
The 2024 financial year continued to be characterised by a series of global political and macroeconomic events. The global economy has shown initial signs of recovery due to falling energy prices, and the labour market stabilised in the key global economies, but the upturn remains weak, and the forecasts for 2025 are cautious. Consumer demand was subdued in light of the economic and political environment in much of the European Union, hampering any rebound that could mark the end of the recessionary trend. Several elections in major European nations have been plagued by an increasing struggle to form governments, namely in France, Germany and Austria. In turn, this has made it difficult to plan investments in the economy. Corresponding investments are crucially required to promote dynamic economic growth. Much-needed momentum for the global economy may be provided through inflation, which has now fallen, and the related easing of monetary policy in the form of interest rate cuts implemented to date by central banks, with further cuts forecast for 2025. Nevertheless, uncertainty may arise from factors such as new tariffs announced by the new US president or the abandonment of indexed climate change mitigation measures, which could lead to regional disadvantages in the European Economic Area.
Forecasts concerning economic growth in the euro area are cautious for the 2025 financial year. Uncertainties are heavily weighing on future economic growth in Germany. It is crucial that clarity is obtained with regard to the agenda the next German federal government will be pursuing in relation to structural issues, energy security and affordability along with social issues Many of the uncertainties mentioned are beyond the company's control and make reliable medium- to long-term planning very difficult. However, S IMMO has a property portfolio in outstanding locations that has been built up in the context of a conservative and consistent investment policy. The management assumes that its strategy will enable it to cope well with the challenges ahead and to seize potential opportunities.
An Internal Control System (ICS) is in place for all key business processes. Aspects such as the reliability of financial reporting are monitored and controlled by this system. In conjunction with the Internal Audit department and in compliance with (stock exchange) regulations, the ICS constitutes S IMMO Group's internal monitoring system. Core processes – in particular those relating to the Group's financial reporting – are set out in the internal process database. This includes a risk management matrix in which the processes, potential individual risks and assigned control steps are defined.
Key features of the accounting-specific ICS are:
S IMMO AG's Internal Audit department coordinates audits of significant business processes of the Group parent company and its Austrian and foreign subsidiaries with regard to their effectiveness and existing risks and control weaknesses as well as potential improvements in efficiency. The audits take place in cycles of several years and are based on the annual audit plan approved by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. In addition, special audits are commissioned as required. External experts are commissioned to perform the audits. The results of the audits are reported to the Management Board and to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.

The development of an industry is heavily dependent on external factors such as the economy or the prevailing technological, political and legal situation. As the economic environment is constantly changing, the resulting risks are hard to forecast. A deterioration of the economic situation in a market can affect purchase and sale prices as well as the value of and return on a property. In addition, there may be rent reductions, rent losses, termination of rental agreements by tenants or a reduction in space requirements due to hybrid working concepts. Careful asset management and constant monitoring also contribute to reducing the described risks.
A macroeconomic overview and an assessment of the development of the property markets relevant to S IMMO are presented in the economic report. Despite interest fees on loans already falling due to several interest rate cuts by the ECB, ideal conditions are not expected to be encountered in the near future. Over the coming months, property markets are likely to remain subject to appreciable financing costs, prudent, risk-averse lending policies and persistently high construction costs. S IMMO counters these risks with a crisis-proven business model and a high-quality property portfolio in excellent locations.
Strategic risks are closely linked to S IMMO's business strategy and can have a strong influence on it. Strategic risks include, for example, planning risk, i.e. the risk arising from inconsistencies between strategic goals, business strategy, available resources and the respective market situation.
S IMMO faces risks in investments in property development projects as well as property purchases. These are often caused by factors beyond the Group's control, for example delays in the completion of property projects or the subsequent deterioration of the local economic situation. Therefore, the Group's strategy is oriented towards reducing potential investment risks through careful selection, planning and execution of property projects and purchases. There are set investment volume limits above which the approval of the Supervisory Board is required. Nevertheless, a residual amount of investment risk always remains with any investment, which can negatively influence cash flows and valuations.
Due to the macroeconomic conditions, transaction values agreed in the purchase process may come under pressure in subsequent valuations after completion of the transaction and reduce the profitability of the planned purchase or subsequently have a negative impact on the transaction value in the course of a possible sale.
S IMMO is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange with bonds, and financing on the capital market is of corresponding importance. Events and circumstances such as unstable capital markets, uncertainties due to political events such as the war in Ukraine or the conflict in the Middle East, rising borrowing interest rates, or a difficult economic environment, etc. may affect the Group's financing options. Transparent and reliable information gives shareholders a well-founded decision-making basis and strengthens the capital market's trust in the securities issued by S IMMO. The current volume of bonds issued by S IMMO AG in its capacity as a bond issuer amounts to EUR 520.6m, with the longest residual maturity ending in 2030. It is of crucial importance to investors who invest in these securities that S IMMO AG fulfils its obligations with regard to paying back the principal and paying the interest. To date, subscription rates for S IMMO AG corporate bonds have always been highly successful due to the excellent reputation of S IMMO AG on the capital markets.
S IMMO is exposed to all risks associated with the purchase, development, operation and sale of properties.
S IMMO owns an income- and cash-generating property portfolio, 100% of which is located in the European Union. The portfolio consists primarily of offices but also includes shopping centres and hotels. The value of a property depends largely on its location, its intended use and the technical standard. The attractiveness of the location, the potential use and the ESG compliance of the properties can therefore significantly affect S IMMO's financial situation. The long-term value creation that is anchored in S IMMO's business model has proven to be very robust, even in times of crisis.
Letting risk is closely linked to the general economic situation in the various markets and therefore involves associated uncertainty in terms of forecasting. In general, there is always a certain letting risk – also in the case of contract extensions – due to the various political and economic developments in the individual markets. The competitive situation can also have an impact on the letting rate and contract extensions. There is constant competition among owners for prestigious, attractive tenants. Depending on the economic development in the various markets in which S IMMO operates, pressure can be exerted on rents. This might make it necessary to accept rents that are lower than originally forecast. In addition, S IMMO is exposed to rental default risk. If the Group is unable to extend expiring rental agreements at favourable terms or find suitable, creditworthy tenants who are willing to enter into a longer-term lease, this negatively impacts the market value of the properties concerned. There may also be lengthy vacancies. Particularly in times of economic and political uncertainty, S IMMO may be forced to accept rent reductions in order to maintain its letting rate. The credit rating of a tenant can deteriorate in the short or medium term, particularly during an economic downturn. In addition, there is the potential risk of tenants becoming insolvent or otherwise being unable to fulfil their payment obligations under the rental agreement.
Trends such as New Work (four-day week, hybrid working models, open-space offices) have changed the working environment in offices in recent quarters, which can also lead to a reduction in tenants' demand for office space. In general, in times of economic downturn and rising rent burdens for tenants due to inflation – also independent of new working models – there may be a desire for space or rent reductions. This can also lead to a reduction in relocations and new lettings, as the tenants wait until the economic situation eases again. S IMMO tries to counteract these trends through active asset management and an ongoing exchange with its tenants.
In the area of property development, risks may arise in connection with delays in receiving official approvals, construction delays, construction cost overruns, (construction) quality defects or letting. S IMMO counters these risks with regular cost, quality and deadline checks as well as deviation analyses.
Due to the increases in construction costs and higher interest rates in the recent past, there are currently delays and postponements of construction starts. The expected profitability of a project may also deteriorate. Due to S IMMO's conservative development strategy and the associated approach of waiting until construction prices have eased and financing costs have declined, the exposure of S IMMO to any risks in this area is low, as only one development project is currently being implemented in the Czech Republic.
On the one hand, construction risk is the risk of damage to newly constructed properties and portfolio properties, which S IMMO reduces through industry-standard construction contracts with experienced construction firms, warranty periods and guarantees. To limit risks in this area as much as possible, detailed inspections are arranged before the end of the warranty periods so that any damage can still be rectified at the construction firm's expense. To safeguard against conventional damage to portfolio buildings, such as fire or water, S IMMO takes out insurance policies at standard market conditions. At the same time, repair costs rise with the age of portfolio buildings, as key systems need to be replaced after their useful life. With active asset management and ongoing repairs as well as sensible maintenance measures, S IMMO endeavours to avoid major negative effects.
Property valuation depends on various macroeconomic conditions – which are beyond the Group's control – and on propertyspecific factors. In this respect, property valuation risk describes the risk of negative fluctuations in the value of the property portfolio. In addition to the expected rental income, the technical condition of the property and the occupancy rate, real estate appraisers also take into account other factors such as taxes on land, non-allocable operating costs, third-party claims based on environmental risks or risks associated with certain building materials. Any change in the value of a property can have an impact on the Group's net profit or loss and creditworthiness. The Group recognises investment properties at fair value, and generally has them valued once or twice a year by external experts. After significant devaluations in the previous year due to high interest rates and inflation, property valuations have largely stabilised in the 2024 financial year.
For S IMMO Group, the management of financial risks mainly involves the consideration of liquidity, interest rate, financing, credit and exchange rate risks.
To ensure liquidity, S IMMO Group's cash flows are evaluated on an ongoing basis with the involvement of specialist departments so that measures to safeguard/strengthen liquidity can be taken at an early stage. The Group has fluctuating holdings of cash and cash equivalents that are invested in accordance with the respective operational and strategic requirements and objectives. Furthermore, it conducts hedging transactions, especially to hedge against changes in interest rates and the associated fluctuations in its financing costs. These hedging transactions could prove to be inefficient or unsuitable for meeting the set targets and could lead to losses that impact income. In addition, the Group is exposed to the risk of its contracting partners failing to fulfil their contractual obligations under the hedging or investment transactions (counterparty risk). S IMMO Group counters this risk by concluding investment and hedging transactions only with respectable banks with a sound credit rating. In the case of stricter equity and liquidity regulations for banks and resultant increased lending restrictions and reduced lending levels, there can be problems with refinancing. Despite its mainly long-term loan agreements, S IMMO may be affected primarily in the event of loan extensions and refinancing (see also financing risk). This risk may arise primarily when loan extensions or refinancing are delayed or are granted at a lower level than expected. If S IMMO were unable to utilise suitable and appropriate external borrowings for project developments and acquisitions or the refinancing of expiring external borrowings on time or at all, this could significantly impair its ability to fulfil its obligations under project development contracts or in acquisition projects. There is also the risk of being unable to repay bonds. An inability to fulfil the obligations under existing financing agreements and bonds due to a lack of availability of free liquidity may lead to a significantly adverse impact on the Group's net assets, financial position and earnings situation and negatively affect the Group's credit rating.
The vast majority of S IMMO Group's financing agreements provide for a variable interest rate based on the three-month EURI-BOR as the reference interest rate, resulting in the risk of a changing interest rate level. The costs of interest payments increase if the respective reference interest rate rises. Between May 2023 and November 2024, inflation in the euro area had already fallen from 6.1% to 2.2%, which led to four cuts to key interest rates in 2024, taking the figure from 4.5% to 3.15% (as of December 2024). The ECB is forecast to cut key interest rates further in 2025. S IMMO Group reduces interest rate risk on a long-term basis by hedging the interest rates of its variable-rate loans. As of 31 December 2024, 99.9% (31 December 2023: 93%) of loans were variable-rate loans – exclusively pegged to the three-month EURIBOR. S IMMO generally hedges its variable-rate loans with the following derivative financial instruments: swaps and caps. As of 31 December 2024, 100% of the variable-rate financing portfolio was hedged. S IMMO Group aims to hedge risks to the greatest possible extent. The sensitivity analyses carried out, which include the existing bonds (see Notes, section 5.2.1.), show that the risk of rising interest expenses due to changes in interest rates is considered low for S IMMO Group.
It can be observed that, as a result of the Taxonomy Regulation, banks attach more importance to the fulfilment of ESG criteria of the financing object when examining financing requests. The attractiveness of various types of financing depends on several factors, some of which are beyond the Group's control. In particular, these factors include market interest rates, tax-related aspects and the assessment of the value and realisation potential of properties that serve as collateral, as well as the assessment of the general economic situation and future economic performance by the financing partners. In times of highly volatile property markets, lenders may sometimes be unwilling to extend maturing loans under terms that are acceptable to S IMMO Group. This can lead in particular to higher margins, lower lending levels and the need to provide further collateral and might also generally lead to a lack of refinancing options. If the Group is unable to generate liquidity or external funds to the required extent at the required time or to borrow under acceptable terms, its ability to fulfil its obligations under financing agreements could be impaired. S IMMO Group strives to reduce this risk by spreading its borrowing among different lenders (13 individual banks as of the reporting date of 31 December 2024). Borrowing is monitored on the basis of approvals on a staggered basis by the Management Board and Supervisory Board. As of 31 December 2024, liabilities to banks had an average term of around 4.4 years. This maturity structure for financing is standard industry practice. In addition, there is the risk that it may not be possible to comply with financial covenants (clauses in loan agreements regarding the permitted indebtedness and the debt service cover ratio) or other contractual terms, guarantees or
conditions in financing agreements. This may limit flexibility in financing future business activities. Compliance with financial covenants is constantly monitored by S IMMO Group in close contact with lending financial institutions and reported to the relevant institutions. Covenant infringements may constitute a default incident. The Group is committed to a balanced ratio between financing and the fair value of the property portfolio (loanto-value ratio). As of 31 December 2024, the Group-wide loan-to-value ratio for secured financing stood at 41.8% (31 December 2023: 44.0%). In addition, the Group has unsecured financing (utilised credit lines and loans). The loan-to-value ratio for unsecured financing amounted to 8.1% (31 December 2023: 5.0%) of property assets. Despite close monitoring of financing instruments and the relevant parameters, it cannot be ruled out that S IMMO will be confronted with risks in the area of refinancing if the economy and the financing environment deteriorate sufficiently.
Credit risk is understood to mean, among other things, the risk that a contracting party defaults or is no longer able to meet its obligations on time or in full (counterparty default risk). If credit risks occur, this can result in financial losses for the company. The company counteracts this risk on the one hand with a careful selection of contractual partners and on the other hand with guarantees and appropriate contract design in the form of penalties or other compensation. If a receivable cannot be recovered in part or in full, it is written off or impaired. Country risk can also be counted as a credit risk. This is understood to mean special risks of loss resulting from uncertain political, economic and social conditions in another country. As a result, difficulties may also arise in the collection of receivables from foreign contractual partners. S IMMO minimises this risk by only operating in EU countries with a stable legal situation.
Almost all of S IMMO Group's loans are denominated in euros, and rental agreements are mostly linked to the euro. Therefore, the direct exchange rate risk that would affect cash flows is regarded as low. A change in conditions for another currency could indirectly have an impact on the purchasing power of customers locally, which would have a medium-term effect on property valuations. In accounting terms, short-term, non-cash exchange rate effects could have an impact on the profit or loss statement.
For S IMMO, the management of ESG risks comprises various risks related to the ESG criteria of environment, social affairs and governance. Legal and regulatory requirements such as the Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG) and the EU Taxonomy Regulation require specific sustainability risks in the areas of climate change, employees, respect for human rights, the fight against corruption and bribery, and others to be 89 S IMMO | Annual Financial Report 2024 | Management report
addressed. The following section of the risk management report describes significant risks in connection with the topics mentioned in the non-financial report as well as measures for identifying, assessing, avoiding and limiting these risks.
S IMMO is exposed to various environmental and climate risks that can arise both in its operations and in its property development activities. These risks can arise due to geographical circumstances but also in particular in connection with advancing climate change. These climate risks are divided into physical and transition risks. The information provided in this section on S IMMO's climate risk management is based on the requirements of the EU Taxonomy and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The strategic monitoring of environmental risks – including climate risks – and the pursuit of possible opportunities are the responsibility of the Management Board and the ESG Committee of the Supervisory Board. The operational identification, assessment and management of risks is the responsibility of the Group-wide Risk Management function.
The main risks not influenced by climate change include possible nuclear incidents and accidents in the geographical area of the company's operations, as well as the risk of earthquakes, particularly in Romania. Consideration of the risk of earthquakes is therefore incorporated into decisions made in the planning and structural calculations for development projects, the properties to be purchased and in the conclusion of adequate building and special insurance policies. Repairs to buildings that may become necessary due to earthquake damage are also covered by insurance. Apart from this, critical infrastructure may be affected, especially in the form of outages, bottlenecks or contamination of the energy and water supply to real estate and development projects.
In construction activities, a potential risk arises from the materials used and, in particular, from hazardous building materials. Changes in legislation and amendments to environmental or safety regulations must also be considered in this context, as these may necessitate the removal or replacement of materials. In order to reduce the impact of the company's activities on the environment, building materials are replaced with environmentally compatible alternatives wherever possible in the course of maintenance and refurbishment measures. In addition, there are risks to buildings, land and the environment due to possible contamination by harmful substances and munitions. With regard to construction activities, risks may arise for residents from temporary noise and dust pollution.
In order to meet the requirements of the EU Taxonomy for a high-resolution climate risk and vulnerability assessment in line with the long lifespan of real estate investments, all S IMMO properties have been subject to a technology- and sciencebased climate risk analysis by an external service provider every two to three years since 2022, and the results are integrated into the Group's own risk assessment. For this purpose, the individual properties are subjected to a scenario analysis, related to the representative concentration paths RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0 and RCP8.5 depending on data availability with time horizons between 2040 and 2100, for all relevant physical climate risk categories, and the risks are assessed using an average of these concentration paths. Further details can be found in the chapter on environmental information starting on page 118.
In the area of acute physical risks, storms, heavy precipitation and floods are classified as significant, as it can be assumed that these will increasingly occur more frequently and violently than in the past. In addition, these acute risks harbour a direct hazard potential for property damage and the resulting temporarily restricted usability of the buildings. In the case of chronic physical risks with a permanent effect, heat stress and water stress are primarily classified as significant, although the latter would only impair building operation to a limited extent in many cases. In contrast, and across all physical climate risks, heat stress in particular is classified as significant. Due to the geographical location and a moderate continental climate, the properties at the Bucharest location are particularly affected by this, and this risk is currently being countered primarily with the appropriate dimensioning of the cooling and refrigeration technology of the buildings.
Furthermore, the way politics, business and society deal with climate change results in transition climate risks for the company. A more drastic taxation of greenhouse gas emissions and the accompanying technological necessity of investments in renewable energy generation, improvement of energy efficiency as well as the digitalisation and networking of buildings are becoming significant cost drivers, and there is also the risk of potential misinvestments in technologies. At the same time, lower-emission technical solutions can actively reduce significant market risks, primarily the loss of value of CO2-intensive buildings, the more difficult lettability of CO2-intensive buildings and increased costs due to higher energy and commodity prices. In addition, the expanded reporting requirements to be met reflect the preferences of investors and financiers for products and business models with a high ESG orientation, which is why S IMMO is continuously improving the scope, availability and transparency of its ESG data.
Climate risks not only affect the company through climate change because in the sense of double materiality, there is also the risk that the company will accelerate the greenhouse effect and thus climate change. The construction and operation of buildings is generally greenhouse gas intensive, which means that S IMMO has a special responsibility to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Portfolio-wide
and property-related consumption data monitoring and the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) should serve to identify and implement targeted optimisations based on complete and detailed data. To provide a strategic framework for this project, specific savings targets are part of S IMMO's ESG strategy and have already been or are currently being implemented. Details of the ESG strategy can be found starting on page 93. Further information on the handling of energy and emissions can be found in the non-financial statement starting on page 118.
In addition to the risks, climate change also offers opportunities for S IMMO, for example through the need to increase its own resource efficiency, both in construction and in operations, with the trend towards a circular economy increasing the financial incentive for the reusability of materials and thus giving it a stronger economic basis. In building operations in particular, both money and greenhouse gas emissions can be saved directly and noticeably through more efficient use of energy and water, which is why S IMMO sees the greatest potential here in the short term. The increased use of local, renewable energy generation leads to a higher degree of autonomy for properties, with simultaneous emissions reductions. Broad and early implementation of such measures can also open up market opportunities with climate-conscious tenants and partner companies and ensure the resilience of the company in the longer term, and additional investments can be offset or even overcompensated by efficiency gains.
The climate risks and opportunities listed above have not yet had a significant impact on the resilience of the Group's strategy or its fundamental business model. Nevertheless, due to their strategic consideration, they are explicitly included in S IM-MO's operational and financial planning in order to implement appropriate measures to minimise risks and take advantage of opportunities after proper assessment.
S IMMO's social risks are divided into three areas: employees, tenants, and stakeholders and society.
With regard to the employees, social risks for the company consist on the one hand of possible human errors in daily operations and on the other hand of the consequences of a lean personnel structure. Fluctuation, the loss of key employees and other staff shortages can have a negative impact on the company's development, as it is difficult to compensate for the knowhow of employees at short notice. The company, together with its parent company CPI Europe AG, therefore strives to be an attractive employer and offers its employees individual solutions to facilitate their daily work. Furthermore, occupational accidents and employee absences due to physical or mental stress as well as illness represent additional risks that are countered with various infrastructural and health-related preventive and precautionary measures. With a New Work concept, S IMMO offers its employees a range of solutions for customising their working day to suit their personal needs. These include flexible working hours and office presence as well as digital tools.
With respect to tenants, personal injuries to tenants, visitors and passers-by may occur during the use of the buildings if S IMMO, as the owner, does not adequately fulfil its ownership and operating obligations. It is therefore guaranteed at all times that all responsibilities are taken into account through appropriate personnel and physical precautions at the properties. Furthermore, there is a risk that tenancies may be terminated or not renewed due to dissatisfaction on the part of tenants, which could lead to a decline in the occupancy rate. Rental income can also be negatively affected by economic crises, regulatory intervention and other restrictions on tenants' business activities.
Risks relating to all stakeholder groups also include the company's reputation risk and the occurrence of further health crises as well as types of civil unrest, political violence, terrorism and war, which can have an impact on society as a whole and are almost impossible to predict in terms of their occurrence and extent.
S IMMO's Code of Conduct obliges the executive bodies and employees to behave in a manner that complies with the company's ethical standards. There is a risk that the contents of these codes are not adhered to. Employees who become aware of a proven or possible violation of the Code of Conduct or compliance guidelines listed therein must either report this immediately to S IMMO's Compliance Management or submit a corresponding report anonymously via the digital whistleblower system publicly accessible on the company's website. The other governance risks are divided into the areas of human rights, corruption, legal and regulatory violations, risks relating to the Management Board and Supervisory Board, and risks relating to data protection and IT.
In the area of human rights, the handling of these issues is governed by an organisational policy and anchored in processes. S IMMO has identified the following human rights risks as particularly relevant:
S IMMO's Compliance Management is the central point of contact for all complaints and suspicious activity reports regarding actual and potential human rights violations. Furthermore, local management in the subsidiaries can also be contacted as the first authority. An anonymous report can be submitted via the Group's digital whistleblower system. All three channels are always open to internal and external persons alike. All reported incidents are received by Compliance Management and are treated confidentially and with an assurance of anonymity. If a suspicious case is confirmed, possible countermeasures are identified. Details on dealing with human rights risks and the underlying international frameworks can be found in the nonfinancial statement starting on page 156. The content of the organisational policy for human rights (www.simmoag.at/ humanrights) and the digital whistleblower system are available to all employees in the intranet. In addition, annual training on the topic of whistleblowing is mandatory for the entire workforce. Since 2022, employees have been receiving annual training on the content and implementation of the organisational policy on human rights and the digital whistleblower system.
The risk of corruption is always present in day-to-day business. Some of the countries in which S IMMO operates have a lower ranking according to the Corruption Perceptions Index, which can lead to violations of the law and subsequent fines in serious cases. In addition to the Code of Conduct, S IMMO has provided its executive bodies and employees with its own set of rules to prevent such conduct. The Policy for the Prevention of Bribery, Acceptance of Benefits and Corruption, which is also published on the company's website, regulates the structural and procedural measures to avoid even the appearance of bribery, acceptance of benefits and corruption. This binding policy is designed to strengthen the awareness of each and every individual and to create awareness of the consequences of corruption and how to combat it. Mandatory training sessions have been held annually on the contents of the Code of Conduct and the Policy for the Prevention of Bribery, Acceptance of Benefits and Corruption since the 2022 financial year.
As an international property group that has companies in several European countries, S IMMO Group is exposed to a large number of different, constantly changing national tax systems. Changes in local taxation conditions (e.g. property-related taxes, sales taxes or income taxes) and uncertainty or different interpretations of the often complex tax regulations may lead to unplanned tax charges and therefore always constitute a risk to earnings. By working with local tax experts at all times, S IMMO attempts to identify possible consequences early on so that they can be reflected in decision-making, and in order to ensure that adequate accounting provisions are made for all risks known from tax audits or tax proceedings.
S IMMO Group operates in a regulatory environment in which regulations – particularly in the areas of labour, financial, antitrust, public and environmental law – are or will be applicable with high penalties. The measures taken by the company may prove to be insufficient to prevent violations of legal provisions and may therefore result in the imposition of heavy fines. With regard to S IMMO's executive bodies, additional risks exist in the form of potentially excessive Management Board remuneration, fraud and a lack of diversity on the Management Board and Supervisory Board, which S IMMO counters with a transparent remuneration policy and strict compliance guidelines. In the nomination process and the composition of the executive bodies, different diversity criteria are taken into account, for example with regard to expertise, origin and age.
Despite all due diligence and systemic and procedural precautions, there is a risk that cyberattacks and unauthorised disclosures could lead to violations of personal rights and privacy, especially in the area of employee and tenant data. The company counters this risk with ongoing monitoring of case law and, if necessary, with adjustments to its policies, infrastructure and processes in relation to data protection in order to minimise the number of breaches and subsequent claims and, if necessary, to comply with them in a timely manner. In addition, employees receive mandatory annual training on data protection topics. IT security risks are gaining in importance, especially in light of a significant increase in the digitalisation of corporate processes. S IMMO defines IT security risks as the danger that the confidentiality, availability or integrity of corporate data is breached through improper publication, encryption or loss, preventing the company or individuals from carrying out their tasks or processes in a timely and successful manner. This can primarily be the result of inadequate authorisation concepts, cyberattacks and theft of hardware. In order to minimise these risks, an external penetration test was conducted to identify and eliminate IT security vulnerabilities in 2022 and was repeated in 2024. S IMMO has a central user and log management system and uses an intelligent cyberdefence program and programs for the automated detection of data security risks around the clock. Furthermore, hard drives, data media and mobile devices are encrypted and servers are hosted in a failsafe data centre operated by an external service provider. The company's data security policy is constantly being developed further, and annual mandatory employee training courses on data security have been held since 2022. Despite all measures taken, a failure of the IT infrastructure or a cyberattack on S IMMO's systems cannot be ruled out.
When selecting and working with its business partners and suppliers, S IMMO attaches great importance to the contractual framework and regulations, and compliance with the high legal standards and regulations within the European Union is the minimum requirement. In most cases, cooperation takes place with renowned and recognised partners, and is preceded by an appropriate selection process. This also minimises the financial risk of penalties or legal restrictions.
General external risks can occur, for example, if unauthorised persons enter the company premises and cause damage through vandalism or theft. Fire and water damage or the lack of suitable business partners are also among the general external risks. The occurrence of these risks can lead to a restriction or standstill of operations.
S IMMO is exposed to a variety of legal risks due to its business activities. These result, among other things, from legal disputes in connection with S IMMO's operating activities (for example, disputes arising from property transactions or with construction companies or tenants) and regulatory risks. Provisions are made for ongoing legal disputes to the extent required under IFRS. Since the outcome of (arbitration) court proceedings is generally difficult to predict, expenses in excess of the allocated provisions may arise. Significant risks may also arise from changes in the legal situation, especially as S IMMO operates in a highly regulated environment and in various jurisdictions. As of the reporting date, multiple legal disputes were ongoing in S IMMO Group, but management considers the respective individual amounts and the total of the amounts to be of minor significance.
Other operational risks relate to risks associated with systems and processes within the organisation. In order to ensure uninterrupted operations in an organisation, appropriate hardware and software is required to support the necessary processing capacity as well as the operational needs of the business. Otherwise, processing errors, data loss, erroneous data or downtime can occur. The same applies if new IT products cannot be integrated into the existing IT environment or if a technology development was incorrectly assessed. In order to counteract duplication of work or an increased area of coordination, a clear definition of responsibilities and processes is essential.
Basis for preparation
(BP-1_01, BP-1_02)
This non-financial statement has been prepared on a consolidated basis. It covers S IMMO AG and all consolidated subsidiaries (see section 2.2.4. of the consolidated financial statements of the annual report 2024). Equity accounted investees are considered as part of the company's value chain. The portfolio of the company comprised 157 standing investment properties as of 31 December 2024.
Nonfinancial data covers the whole Group's building portfolio (in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia) – i.e. data for assets operated by the Group and rented to third parties.
The non-financial statement covers the impacts and risks and their management that relates also to the Group's upstream and downstream value chain as described below. S IMMO's upstream and downstream value chain was considered in the process of identifying and assessing material impacts, risks and opportunities in the course of the double materiality assessment. A detailed description of the value chain considered can be found in section SBM-1 of this chapter.
The definition of time horizons in ESRS 1, section 6.4 was used for the preparation of this statement.
S IMMO strives for maximum accuracy. Therefore, in most cases, actual data including the value chain data such as tenant's energy and water consumptions are used for disclosed metrics. Estimates are employed solely in instances where actual data is not available by the end of the data collection period. Details can be found in the metrics section of E1-5, E1-6, E3 and E5.
This sustainability statement was prepared in line with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) for the first time. Based on legislation in Austria at the time of disclosure, it is considered to be voluntarily. This report was reviewed with limited assurance by EY Austria.
At the same time, this fulfils the obligation to prepare a non-financial statement in the management report (Section 267a of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB)) and, in accordance with EU Directive 2014/95/EU on the disclosure of non-financial information (NFI Directive) and its implementation in the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG), the required information for the 'Non-financial Statement' is covered and prepared as part of the Group Management Report in the Annual Report 2024 and published.
Changes in reporting compared to previous reporting period are disclosed in the relevant sections of this statement.
As of 31 December 2024, the Management Board consists of Radka Doehring, Pavel Mechura and Vit Urbanec. The Supervisory Board consists of Martin Matula, Vladislav Jirka, Matej Csenky and Andreas Feuerstein (Works Council representative).
The dual management structure of S IMMO AG consists of a Management Board and a Supervisory Board. These corporate bodies are strictly separated, in both their composition and functions, and can therefore independently carry out their assigned duties. The Management Board is responsible for strategic direction of S IMMO and group's performance in relation to sustainability. The Supervisory Board supports and advises the Management Board.
At the end of the financial year 2024, the Supervisory Board had three members who were elected by the annual general meeting (shareholder representatives) and one member delegated by the Works Council. The Management Board had three members.
The members of the Supervisory and Management Boards are experts in their respective fields, ensuring that informed decision-making is made in accordance with regional market trends, regulatory frameworks, and investment opportunities.
The group's commitment to diversity is reflected in the following points relating to the governing bodies without Works Council:
visory Board members is 75%. The Supervisory Board declares its independence before its election. There is no comparable process for members of the Management Board.
The Board Committees assist the Board by preparing assignments and making recommendations to the entire Supervisory Board. The entire Supervisory Board decides on matters. The members of the Board Committees are appointed by the Supervisory Board from among its members. The main tasks and duties of the individual committees are defined in the Rules of Procedure for the Supervisory Board of S IMMO AG, details on the committees can be found in the report of the Supervisory Board. The entire Supervisory Board fulfilled the responsibilities of the ESG Committee in the financial year 2024.
Responsibility for the supervision of the IROs is embedded in the committees of the Supervisory Board. ESG integration in the committees of the Supervisory Board is structured as shown below:
| Body of Governance | Responsibilities related to ESG in accordance with the Rules of Procedure for the Supervisory Board |
Material issues addressed in 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Audit Committee (3 members) |
• Monitoring the financial reporting process and auditor's work • Monitoring the effectiveness of the Internal Control System, the risk management and the audit and group audit process |
• Quarterly review of risk management report • Review and approval of double materiality assessment process and result for 2024 reporting • Review of result of year-end limited assurance process on non-financial statement • Review and approval of 2024 individual financial statements, consolidated financial statements and annual financial report |
| Committee for Management Board Matters (Remuneration Committee) (3 members) |
• Negotiating contracts with members of the Management Board • Determining the remuneration policies for the Management and the Supervisory Board |
• Assessment of the competencies required in the management bodies in the event of vacancies • Annual review and approval ensuring that targets defined contribute to the company strategy, long term interest and sustainability |
| ESG Committee (2 members) |
• Matters related to sustainability as well as social, economic and environmental responsibility • Defining ESG strategy • Managing regulatory requirements and addressing ESG related risks. |
• Evaluation of the company's strategy and orientation, of which environmental, sustainabili ty, social and governance topics (ESG) are an integral part • Half-yearly ESG update • Approval of the ESG Group Transition Plan |
At senior level, the Head of the ESG department leads the sustainability function, with oversight from the ESG Committee. The Head of ESG is responsible for executing sustainability strategies, monitoring performance, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
The topic of ESG was outsourced to the ESG department at CPI Europe in the course of 2024 and has since been managed by them across the group including S IMMO. The ESG department has been responsible for the Group-wide coordination and implementation of CPI Europe's sustainability strategy and for chairing the cross-functional ESG Committee.
Heads of department report sustainability risks and opportunities to the Head of ESG. The Head of ESG reports to the Management Board quarterly and to the Supervisory Board biannually.
To ensure cross-functional alignment, sustainability controls and procedures must be embedded across key departments:
The ESG Committee recommends target-setting methodologies and ensures that they align with industry standards and regulatory requirements. The strategy is then approved by the Supervisory Board. However, the entire Supervisory Board fulfilled the responsibilities of the ESG Committee in the past financial year. The Management Board integrates targets into business operations and corporate performance indicators.
Targets are embedded within the organization's strategic planning process to drive business performance and risk management. Inputs from key stakeholders, including investors, employees, and regulatory bodies, are considered when defining material sustainability targets.
The proposed targets undergo a multi-stage review process, where they are evaluated based on feasibility, impact, and alignment with corporate objectives before final approval by the Board.
The organization ensures systematic tracking of progress towards sustainability targets through the following mechanisms:
Corrective Actions and Continuous Improvement
The Supervisory Board regularly evaluates the competencies, knowledge and experience of the individual members of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board, including whether they collectively possess, or are able to leverage, relevant sustainability expertise. It has concluded that each individual member of the board has skills that are relevant to the material IROs, as well as to the industry in general, the geographical location of the business activities, and the type of target consumes and end-user. The last self-evaluation was carried out in 2022. As the current Supervisory Board was only constituted at the end of January 2024, an evaluation by the Supervisory Board is planned for the financial year 2025.
Martin Matula has been appointed as one of the founding members of the CPI Property Group's ESG (then CSR) Committee in 2019. He has helped to create and implement the ESG framework for CPI Property Group, notably in the fields of governance, transparency and sustainable financing.
Matej Csenky, as a seasoned real estate, corporate and regulatory lawyer, brings expertise in the fields of governance and compliance.
The Supervisory Board and its committees are regularly informed about sustainability issues and consulted for decisions. The reporting lines for information on material IROs are listed under the responsibilities of management (see GOV1).
The report on risk management including sustainability related IRO's is presented to and discussed by the Audit Committee at least four times a year. The impact and risk categories relevant for S IMMO are based on the company's value chain and include sustainability related impacts, opportunities and risks.
S IMMO has defined a broad range of measures to address and counter impacts and risks. These measures represent an integral part of all corporate processes and, consequently, form the basis for the reduction of negative impacts or risks and contribution to positive impact or opportunities.
Due diligence concerning sustainability matters ensures that organizations adhere to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals set by the company. This process involves assessing, identifying, preventing, mitigating, and accounting for sustainability risks and impacts in business operations and supply chains.
The effectiveness of policies, actions, metrics and targets adopted to address IROs
The quantified risks associated with a specific transaction also serve as a basis for decision-making. The opportunity costs of a possible transaction are communicated to the Management and Supervisory Boards, along with a recommendation that is in line with the corporate strategy. Since sustainability considerations are already part of the corporate strategy, acting in accordance with the strategy also ensures sustainability.
Please refer to table GOV 1_09 for details of the key sustainability topics that the Management Board brought to the attention of the Supervisory Board committees in 2024.
(GOV-3_01, GOV-3_02, GOV-3_03, GOV-3_04, GOV-3_05, GOV-3_06) The Remuneration Policy in accordance with Section 78a AktG for the Management Board of S IMMO AG is geared towards promoting a long-term and sustainable development of the company. Against this background sustainability targets are anchored in the Remuneration Policy for the Management Board.
In accordance with the 2024 Remuneration Policy, individual and ESG targets derived from the sustainability strategy of S IMMO AG are implemented in the qualitative performance criteria with a total weighting of up to 30%. They take into account project related goals (such as project progress or successful leasing), strategic goals (such as acquisitions or disinvestments) and non-financial targets. The individual and ESG targets are selected annually from a list of criteria and their weighting are defined by the Committee for Management Board Matters (Remuneration Committee) for each financial year.
For the financial year 2024, the following ESG targets (all equally weighted) have been set for the Management Board:
Accordingly, 10% of the contractually agreed total remuneration (assuming a 100% target achievement) is dependent on ESG targets.
This Compensation Policy is prepared by the Supervisory Board's Committee for Management Board Matters and submitted to the entire Supervisory Board for approval. The Compensation Policy is established based on a comparison with other listed companies while taking into account the company's business strategy and degree of complexity.
Variable compensation is based on quantitative and qualitative (individual) targets that are in the long-term interest of the company and its shareholders. New target values for variable compensation, including their weightings and the individual goals, are set annually by the Management Board Committee at the start of each financial year, with the targets being set according to the budgetary and medium-term planning as well as the corporate strategy.
The Committee for Management Board Matters regularly evaluates the Compensation Policy to ensure it is in line with business strategy and stakeholder interests. The company is also committed to complying with the results of voting at the Annual General Meeting regarding the presented Compensation Policy. A revised Compensation Policy must be submitted to the Annual General Meeting in 2028 at the latest.
For further details on the remuneration of the Management Board, please refer to the Remuneration Policy 2024 and the Remuneration Report for the financial year 2024 of S IMMO AG, which are published on the company's website.

Following the implementation of the international standards such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the EU Taxonomy, S IMMO AG has further expanded and develop the internal control system to encompass the full scope of the sustainability reporting process.
The company's sustainability reporting control system follows an approach similar to the financial reporting control system.
In 2024, S IMMO AG initiated a process description for sustainability reporting that covers the entire process from the results of the materiality analysis to the final sustainability report. The current sustainability reporting process is focused on minimizing operational risks, with a particular emphasis on ensuring a high level of data quality. The process includes internal controls for the ongoing and appropriate assessment of risks related to the integrity, accuracy and completeness of data and the timing of information availability.
This has been done in close cooperation with data owners such as asset managers, department heads of legal, human resources and finance and with external auditors.
Generally, risks related to sustainability data and reporting are addressed on a case-by-case basis through discussions with the data owners and the Management Board, or Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board, depending on materiality.
To mitigate the risk associated with data collection, the ESG team works with internal and external experts to enhance operational knowledge and improve data collection and control systems.
In case of downstream value chain information (e.g. property/ tenants' data), the company engages in a dialog with service providers (energy or water suppliers for properties) to ensure a common understanding of the data needs and data quality.
As real estate data availability is also related to the company's portfolio management, the ESG team acts as a central point for improving data availability and quality.
(GOV-5_04, GOV-5_05)
Risk assessment and risk mitigation measures are carried out in connection with regular internal and external reporting. The audits/reviews are carried out by both internal and external auditors. The external review of sustainability statement is carried out by the auditor in line with the financial reporting process. The results of the limited assurance process for nonfinancial reporting, including potential observations or identified risks, are reported to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board in connection with half-year and year-end reports.
Internal Audit performs independent and regular reviews of the internal control system, operational processes, and business transactions. The results of the audits are reported regularly to S IMMO's Management Board and twice a year to the Supervisory Board.
Further details are disclosed in the risk management part of the annual report.
S IMMO Group (S IMMO AG and its subsidiaries) is an international property group whose business is long-term real estate investments in the form of the purchase, retention and sale of properties, project development, letting, asset management, building revitalisation and refurbishment as well as the operation of hotels. The company operates in Austria, Germany, and CEE (Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania) and owns properties in each of the aforementioned countries. The portfolio consists of offices, commercial property, hotels and a small share of residential properties.
S IMMO concentrates on its core business as a growth-oriented property owner and on the continuous optimization of its portfolio. Over the past few years, the Management Board and Supervisory Board have repeatedly adjusted the portfolio strategy to account for the economic situation, achievable property returns and market values. The focus was on selling low yielding German properties. In Germany, almost all of the properties have been sold by this point. Some transactions are yet to be closed and are expected to be complete by the end of the first half of 2025. The sale of two remaining properties in Germany is planned in 2025. Accordingly, the withdrawal from the German market is expected to take place in the course of 2025/26. The proceeds from the sales create the basis for future growth and earnings.
As of 31 December 2024, S IMMO Group's property portfolio consisted of 157 properties (31 December 2023: 244) with a book value of EUR 3,418.2m (31 December 2023: EUR 3,477.6m). As of 31 December 2024, the portfolio broken down by main type of use excluding plots of land and based on book values consisted of 65.0% office buildings (31 December 2023: 67.2%), 26.1% retail properties (31 December 2023: 19.4%), 2.5% residential properties (31 December 2023: 6.1%) and 6.4% hotels (31 December 2023: 7.3%). The properties are located in the European Union and have a gross leasable area (total lettable area excluding parking spaces) of around 1.3 million m² (31 December 2023: 1.5 million m²). The high quality of the portfolio and asset management is reflected in strong occupancy rates and returns. The occupancy rate of the portfolio as a whole was 92.2% (31 December 2023: 90.6%). The calculation of the occupancy rate includes all investment properties in the narrower sense (i.e. excluding investment properties with development potential and owner-operated hotels). The overall rental yield came to 6.8% (31 December 2023: 6.8%). The WAULT (weighted average unexpired lease term) was 3.9 years (31 December 2023: 4.1 years).
As of 31 December 2024, the Group employed 643 people excluding Management Board and dormant employees, including employees for hotel operations. A detailed description of the own workforce can be found in section S1 of this statement.

The operation of the buildings contributing to GHG emissions mainly due to the consumption of fossil resources: Building operation generates a wide range of emissions, from noise to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG Emissions). Greenhouse gases contribute to heat retention in the atmosphere, significantly altering the Earth's climate. Building emissions come from fossil fuels burned for heat, the use of gases for refrigeration and cooling, and the handling of waste. Negative / Actual |

Consumption of energy: The building sector, encompassing both construction and operation, is responsible for approximately 40% of global energy consump tion and 37% of carbon dioxide emissions. Electricity usage for building operations represents nearly 55% of total global electricity consumption. Energy is generated from natural resources, which are, however, finite. Consequently, the consumption of energy leads to a significant usaging of these limited natural resources. Negative / Actual |

| Risk of increased cost of fossil fuel resources Insufficient transition speed will lead to impairment losses due to the inability to compete and will mean high costs due to limited fossil fuel resources. Market Reputation and Investor Confidence Achieving GHG emissions reduction targets enhances a company's reputation. Investors increasingly prioritise sustainable practices, and companies that meet their climate goals are more attractive. Non-compliance with emissions reduction goals could negatively affect property valuation and attractiveness. Financial Penalties Failure to meet the GHG emissions reduction target may result in financial penalties and increased expenses. Carbon Pricing Mechanism The carbon tax mechanism will be in place in 2027, and the EU ETS applies to the real estate sector. The carbon tax applies to S1+S2 emissions. |

We have outlined our upstream value chain by identifying the necessary inputs to effectively execute our core business activities as a starting point for our double materiality assessment. We focused on key activities, inputs, and primary suppliers while considering local variations. Beginning with our core business, we identified our principal product: office and retail real estate. Subsequently, we established the sales channels for our products and recognized our tenants as customers. We use inhouse sale, our own websites as well as external real estate agents for the renting of our premises. Sales and acquisitions of properties are carried out via external agents.
Our office portfolio offers rental space for all needs, every enterprise from start-up business to large international companies are potential tenants for us. In the retail portfolio we concentrate on tenants-mix suitable for retail parks and shopping centers. End-users are our tenants and their employees as well as visitors of our retail properties and hotel guests.
Our downstream value chain ends with the end-of-life treatment for our products. Our upstream value chain was divided into Tier 1 and 2. For Tier 1 we identified capital resources, knowledge & human resources, infrastructure, advisory, operations and resources for building operations as key for our business model. Please refer to the value chain graphic below for more information.

S IMMO – together with CPI Property Group and CPI Europe – identified important groups of affected stakeholders and users of the sustainability statement relevant for its business. With wide range of stakeholders (including tenants, employees, investors, and members of local communities) the Group maintains a continuous and regular dialogue.
Stakeholder engagement supports us in identifying existing or emerging impacts or risks as part of the double materiality assessment (DMA). Their insights provide valuable input to our ESG programmes, helping us to shape our strategy, targets and decisions towards delivering on ESG commitments and KPIs.
The table below shows prioritised stakeholder groups and how we engage with them:
| Group of stakeholders | Stakeholders' expectation | Engagement channel | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tenants | Excellent products and services | Daily operations | |||
| Investors | Solid business model, strategies and goals | Presentations, website, corporate news | |||
| Employees | Decent work conditions, training and development, diversity, equality |
Employees interactions, surveys, hot line | |||
| Authorities and governments | Compliance with regulations | Industry associations, engagement with the authorities |
|||
| Suppliers and business partners | Fair business practices and treatment | Contract management | |||
| Communities | Responsibility for the environment and the society | Engagement with the local associations, events |
For the purpose of double materiality assessment, we selected a sample of our stakeholders and performed a survey to help us identify material sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities.
Together with CPI Europe, S IMMO conducted an online survey to gather stakeholder feedback on its material sustainability matters, receiving 171 anonymous responses. Key topics identified by stakeholders included affected communities, supply chain, biodiversity, compliance, digitalization, and corporate governance. After evaluation, compliance and corporate governance were categorized as material topics essential to the Group's ESG Strategy. Other topics were reviewed by the ESG Committee, which did not identify additional material issues for 2024. The Group remains committed to ongoing stakeholder engagement.

The Group closely monitors both internal and external environment and assesses the related impacts, risks and opportunities of its operations. As part of this process, the Group conducted the double materiality assessment across of all of its activities and geographies in 2024, aimed to assess an impact of the Group's activities on the environment and society, as well as identify potential sustainability risks. Through this process, the Group has defined 17 sustainability matters as material, the response to which forms part of the Group's business strategy.
The current financial effects of the Group's material risks and opportunities on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows are not material and there are no material risks and opportunities for which there is a significant risk of a material adjustment within the next annual reporting period to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Group's financial statements.
Given that our material Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs) are closely tied to our core business and growth potential, our initiatives aimed at enhancing opportunities and mitigating associated risks are integrated within our established corporate governance approach described above. The resilience of the Group's strategy and business model were assessed by the internal risk manager and addressed as part of the Group's risk and opportunity assessment.
Changes to material IROs are not relevant for the year 2024 as the DMA was carried out for the first time following the Group's ongoing CSRD implementation. All material IROs are covered by ESRS Disclosure Requirements.
An analysis to identify the actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) associated with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters within our operations and throughout our upstream and downstream value chains was conducted. Initially, we evaluated the IROs at a detailed subsubtopic level in accordance with ESRS 1 AR16. Subsequently, we incorporated ESG-related IROs identified in the existing risk management documentation of CPI Property Group, CPI Europe and S IMMO. To enrich our assessment and identify all possible impacts, risks and opportunities, we took into account the material topics identified in the previous materiality assessments conducted by CPI Europe in 2020 and S IMMO AG in 2021, following the GRI Universal Standards. This analysis resulted in a comprehensive list of impacts, risks, and opportunities, which was subsequently evaluated by the internal cross-departmental project group in terms of their impact and financial materiality taking into account specific activities, stakeholders, segments and geographies affected. Additionally, the assessment has evaluated direction - upstream, own operation, downstream -, and time horizon – short-term, mid-term, long-term. The same time horizons as defined by ESRS were applied. Risks were identified as a result of impacts or dependencies.
Negative impacts are based on their relative severity and likelihood. Severity of negative impacts is based on their scale, scope and irremediable character. Positive impacts are based on their relative scale, scope and likelihood. Each impact has been considered individually, because the application of criteria of severity differs among various categories of impacts. The severity of an actual or potential negative impact is assessed from the perspective of the affected people or the environment.
The assessment of risks and opportunities is done based on a combination of the likelihood of occurrence and the potential magnitude/size of the financial effects in line with the groupwide risk and opportunity assessment.
For impacts the following criteria/thresholds were used to determine material ones taking into account scope of impact, scale of impact and irremediability based on EFRAG guidance:
| ≥ 4 | Critical | Material | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| >3 – 4 | Significant | Material | ||
| >2.5 – 3 | Important | Material | ||
| 2-2.5 | Informative | Not material | ||
| < 2 Minimal |
Not material |
For risks and opportunities, the following criteria/thresholds were used to determine material risks and opportunities based on discussion with the Group Risk Manager:
| ≥ 2.5 | Significant | Material |
|---|---|---|
| < 2.5 | Normal | Not material |
In the course of the double materiality assessment as described in IRO-1 our business activities including our assets as well as our value chain were also screened for any biodiversity and ecosystems and pollution related impacts, risks and opportunities. They were assessed as immaterial as the Group is not involved in any production processes and has limited scope of real estate development activities. Due to the limited scope, consultations with affected communities were not considered to be necessary.
We have conducted a pilot assessment of our portfolio's locations to evaluate their potential impact on biodiversity. Our assessment incorporates legally protected areas and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), utilising publicly available data from the European Environment Agency. The priority properties are predominantly located in the Czech Republic and several German cities, including Berlin, Leipzig, and Erfurt. Additional regions with a significant number of priority properties comprise Budapest and Vienna.

Since 2022, S IMMO Group is reporting according to Art. 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation of the European Union and thus closely monitoring the regulatory environment.
The following regulations and notices in the latest version have been reviewed for applicability within the whole group:
The analysis led to the following applicable eligible economic activities in the 2024 financial year:
The turnover from S IMMO's hotel operations are reported under "Income from owner-operated properties" in the S IMMO Group consolidated financial statements.
The group's core activities asset & property management, property development and portfolio management are clearly linked to "Buying real estate and exercising ownership of that real estate" as this activity is described in the taxonomy legislation. Further details can be found in the description of our business model under ESRS 2, SBM 1-25. All turnover, capital and operational expenditures related to buildings are disclosed under this economic activity except for installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficiency equipment which is reported under CCM 7.3 and installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies which is reported under CCM 7.6 if they belong to single measures not connected to taxonomy-aligned buildings.
Since the description of economic activity CCM 7.7 and the definition of the technical screening criteria are based on the exercise of ownership of real estate, neither turnover, CapEx nor OpEx in connection with undeveloped land are subsumed under this economic activity. Additions to other intangible assets and other tangible assets are also classified as non-taxonomy-eligible as they don't represent expenditures connected to buildings.
As the economic activity "CCM 7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings" does not constitute an enabling activity pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, no turnover may be reported as taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned under the environmental objective "climate change adaptation". In addition, no adaptation solutions for significant physical climate risks have been implemented so far, which is why no capital expenditures (CapEx) or operating expenditures (OpEx) can currently be reported under the above-mentioned environmental objective. Therefore, the entire taxonomy-aligned turnover, capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenditures (OpEx) were reviewed for a substantial contribution to the environmental objective "climate change mitigation" using the technical screening criteria.
Since 2023, when this activity was introduced, S IMMO has disclosed the eligible share of turnover, CapEx and OpEx arising from hotel operations under this economic activity in their taxonomy disclosures. The turnover from S IMMO's hotel operations are reported under "Income from owner-operated properties" in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, no disclosures under "BIO 2.1 Hotels, holiday, camping grounds and similar accommodation" are made on consolidated group level.
With regard to economic activity CCM 7.3, meeting the criteria of Directive 2010/31/EU and, if applicable, classification in the two best energy efficiency classes according to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 are intended as substantial contributions. To prevent significant harm, a climate risk analysis as applied under CCM 7.7 is required as well as compliance with the generic criteria for Do-No-Significant-Harm (DNSH) to pollution prevention regarding the presence of chemicals. We summarise capital expenditures for the installation of energy-efficient cooling systems under this activity. For 2024, it belonged to replacement of HVAC-equipment in Hungary.
Economic activity CCM 7.6 only requires the existence of one of the renewable energy technologies listed for a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation; therefore, heat pumps and photovoltaic systems meet this requirement. A climate risk analysis as applied under CCM 7.7 is required in order to prevent significant harm. We summarise capital expenditure for the installation of heat pumps and of photovoltaic equipment under this activity. For 2024, it applied to the installation of PV-panels in Austria and one heat pump in Hungary.
A taxonomy-aligned share of turnover, capital and operational expenditures was identified for every economic activity described above with the exception of "BIO 2.1 Hotels, holiday, camping grounds and similar accommodation".
S IMMO Group continued to pursue a conservative assessment approach in the 2024 financial year. S IMMO Group is aware that a less stringent interpretation of the criteria by other market participants may possibly lead to significantly higher shares of taxonomy-aligned activities.
When reviewing buildings for a substantial contribution to the environmental objective of "climate change mitigation", a distinction was made, in accordance with the technical screening criteria, as to whether the application for a building permit for the respective building was submitted before 31 December 2020.
For Germany, we used the technical criterium valid for buildings built after 31 December 2020. The primary energy demand (PED) of the building was compared to the nationally defined threshold value for nearly zero-energy buildings undercut by at least 10%.
For the Czech Republic the alternative screening criteria was used: A building was assessed if it ranks among the top 15% of the national or regional building stock in terms of primary energy demand. We applied the thresholds determined in a study of CEVRE Consultants commissioned by Česká spořitelna in 2024 and recommended by the Czech Green Building Council. This study classifies office buildings of the energy efficiency classes A, B and C (up to primary energy demand of 260 kWh/m2 ), buildings for accommodation and catering of the energy efficiency classes A, B and C (up to primary energy demand of 375 kWh/m²) as well as retail buildings of the energy classes A, B and C (up to primary energy demand of 545 kWh/m2 ) as the top 15% of the national building stock.
For Austria, the methodology of the Austrian Green Building Council to prove Class A was applied to selected assets. As in Austria the PEB class threshold is based on residential use with a defined room height, an alternative method with adjusted room heights was developed in collaboration with KPMG, PWC and Deloitte Austria.
Non-residential assets with more than 5,000 m² of usable space were examined for the existence of heating systems, systems for combined space heating and ventilation, air-conditioning systems or systems for combined air conditioning and ventilation with more than 290 kW of power. Where this criterium applies, checks were subsequently carried out to determine whether these assets are efficiently operated and have a continuous monitoring system. Technical documentation of the building management systems, property-/facility-management contracts with respective obligations of the provider and for the first time, certificates according to ISO 50001 were used as evidence. The certificates obtained during 2024 lead to a significant increase in the share of taxonomy-aligned turnover, capital and operational expenditures.
In accordance with the requirements of the economic activity "CCM 7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings", S IMMO Group conducts a climate risk and vulnerability assessment at the site level in order to prevent significant harm to the environmental objective "climate change adaptation". In doing so, a model with different time horizons between 2040 and 2100 has been used so far assuming the RCP-scenarios 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5. A detailed description of the climate risk assessment can be found in section E1 of this report. Appropriate adaptation plans have been drawn up where necessary.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 does not provide DNSH criteria for other environmental objectives for the economic activity CCM 7.7.
The share of turnover, capital and operational expenditures from assets which fulfil the substantial contribution and do no significant harm criteria as described above are disclosed as taxonomy-aligned under the activity CCM 7.7.
When evaluating individual measures, it was checked if they comply with the directive 2010/31/EU and if they fall under one of the activities listed in the technical screening criteria. For the 2024 financial year capital expenditures connected to the installation of cooling equipment in Hungary was assessed to fulfil the criteria.
The requirements regarding DNSH criteria for climate change adaptation are the same as for activity CCM 7.3. A climate risk and vulnerability assessment was carried out at site level. Thus, the criteria was considered as fulfilled.
To meet the DNSH criteria for the environmental objective "pollution prevention", the activity has to comply with Appendix C of Annex ItotheCommissionDelegatedRegulation(EU)2021/2139. Based on product data sheets it was verified that this criteria is fulfilled for the selected measures.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 does not provide DNSH criteria for further environmental objectives for the economic activity CCM 7.3.
To fulfil the substantial contribution criteria under the environmental objective climate mitigation, the individual measure has to correspond to one of the measures listed in the technical screening criteria. Technical specifications are not set. For the 2024 financial year, it was assessed that the installation of PV-Panels Austria fulfils the requirements as well as one heat pump in Hungary.
The requirements regarding DNSH criteria for climate change adaptation are the same as for activity CCM 7.3 and CCM 7.7 and CCM 7.3. Thus, the criteria was considered as fulfilled.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 does not provide DNSH criteria for further environmental objectives for the economic activity CCM 7.6.
The share of capital expenditures from single measures which fulfil the substantial contribution and do no significant harm criteria as described above are disclosed as taxonomy-aligned under the activity CCM 7.6.
In this context, the topics of human rights (including labour and consumer rights), anti-bribery and anti-corruption, taxation and fair competition were addressed. We concluded that the minimum safeguards criteria were fulfilled.
The proportion of taxonomy-aligned economic activities in total turnover was calculated as the part of net turnover derived from products and services associated with taxonomy-aligned economic activities (numerator), divided by net turnover (denominator), each for the financial year from 01 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. This approach remains unchanged since the year of the first reporting according to Art. 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation.
In accordance with the Delegated Act on Art. 8 of the EU Taxonomy, the turnover KPI is based on the consolidated turnover of S IMMO (see the consolidated income statement in the consolidated financial statements of the 2024 annual report) and relates primarily to rental income and operating costs charged to tenants. The numerator of the turnover KPI is based on the taxonomy-aligned proportion of the economic activity "7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings" with reference to making a substantial contribution to the environmental objective "climate change mitigation".
The segment Germany has been classified as discontinued operation according to IFRS 5. Therefore, the proportion of Turnover and CapEx (maintenance & repair) relating to Germany were excluded from P&L and are also not part of the taxonomy indicators. This led to an increase in the proportion of taxonomyaligned turnover to 23.9% (2023: 13.03%). For further details please see chapter 2.4 of the consolidated financial statement.
There is no risk of double counting within Turnover KPIs as we are disclosing only the activity CCM 7.7 as aligned for turnover.
The key performance indicator capital expenditure (CapEx) is defined as the proportion of taxonomy-aligned capital expenditures (numerator) divided by S IMMO's total capital expenditures (denominator). This approach remains unchanged since the year of the first reporting according to Art. 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation.
The denominator comprises additions to investment property, property under construction, owner-operated property, other tangible assets and intangible assets for the 2024 financial year before depreciation and amortisation and revaluations. In the 2024 financial year, no additions resulting from business combinations which could have been taken into account for the denominator occurred. Our total capital expenditures essentially correspond to the sum of additions including changes in the scope of consolidation in accordance with the statement of changes in fixed assets (see section 3.1.1. of our 2024 annual report's consolidated financial statements). Differences result from including additions to owner-operated property, other tangible assets and intangible assets in the denominator of the CapEx KPI which are not presented separately in the notes. The numerator includes capital expenditures related to assets or processes that are associated with taxonomy-aligned proportions of economic activity 7.7. Here, S IMMO considers capital expenditures that are material to maintaining and performing the economic activity. The principle of allocation here is the generation of external turnover through the economic activity "7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings". Consequently, all capital expenditures in taxonomy-aligned properties are considered in the numerator of the performance indicator.
The proportion of taxonomy-aligned CapEx was 0.7% in 2024. The aligned CapEx in 2023 of 41.56% are justified by the acquisition of taxonomy-aligned buildings which was not the case in 2024 as there were no taxonomy-aligned additions in 2024.
Double counting was avoided in a way that all CapEx related to taxonomy-aligned buildings are disclosed under the economy activity CCM 7.7. Only single measures which were identified as taxonomy-aligned and connected to not-aligned buildings are disclosed under CCM 7.3 or CCM 7.6.
In 2024 the numerator of the KPI for aligned CapEx do not include any capital expenditures related to CapEx plan (as defined in Commission delegated regulation (EU) 2021/2178, paragraph 1.1.2.2.)
The key performance indicator operating expenditure (OpEx) is defined as the proportion of taxonomy-aligned operating expenditures (numerator) divided by total operating expenditures (denominator). This approach remains unchanged since the year of the first reporting according to Art. 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation. The classification of the operating expenditures can be derived analogously from the categories of capital expenditures.
Total operating expenditures consist of non-capitalised costs that relate to building renovation measures, maintenance and repair as well as any other direct expenditures in connection with the day-to-day servicing of investment property, property under construction and owner-operated property.
The increase in the share of taxonomy-aligned OpEx to 10.3% (2023: 3.8%) is caused by increased expenses for maintenance.
There is no risk of double counting within OpEx KPIs as we are disclosing only the activity CCM 7.7 as aligned for OpEx.

Climate change refers to the long-term alterations in temperature and weather patterns. While some of these changes can occur naturally due to variations in solar activity or significant volcanic events, human activities have predominantly driven climate change since the 1800s, primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The primary greenhouse gases contributing to climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These gases are released through activities such as burning gasoline for transportation and using coal for heating purposes. Significant sources of methane emissions include agricultural practices and operations related to oil and gas extraction. Key sectors responsible for greenhouse gas emissions include energy production, industry, transportation, buildings, agriculture, and land use.
Greenhouse gases play a crucial role in trapping heat in the atmosphere, leading to substantial alterations in the Earth's climate. These changes significantly affect individuals and whole population, resulting in issues such as water scarcity, increased flood risks, and droughts, all of which have implications for food security. This underscores the important relationship between climate change mitigation, adaptation and water resources (covered in ESRS E3) and biodiversity.
The operation of buildings, as a key sector of the Group´s activity, generates a wide range of emissions, ranging from noise to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG Emissions). Greenhouse gas emissions from the buildings come from fossil fuels burned for heat and the use of gases for refrigeration and cooling in buildings, and from the handling of waste.

In 2024, S IMMO under Management of CPI Europe developed a comprehensive Climate Transition Action Plan, which has become an integral part of our operations. Our commitment to developing a Climate Transition Action Plan is driven by the need to comply with evolving regulations, mitigate climate-related risks, and capitalize on new market opportunities. This strategic initiative is essential for ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of CPI Europe in the real estate sector.
The CPI Europe Transition Action Plan lays out the future steps necessary for CPI Europe and S IMMO to reach zero GHG emissions by 2050. Additionally, the pathway of the plan is in line with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Climate Summit and the legal framework of the EU laid down in the European Green Deal. The analysis and the subsequent presentation of the emission sources were based on the logic of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The transition plan incl. the baseline 2019 of CPI Europe relates to the whole group. Therefore, the percentage decarbonisation targets apply equally to S IMMO.
The amounts of GHG emissions are based on a study conducted by NUS Consulting Group UK for the financial year 2019. It reflects an in-depth analysis of CPI Europe GHG emissions and serves as the basis for further considerations. Although CPI Europe saw some significant increase in size due to intra-group transactions with CPI Property Group in 2022 and 2023 the measures and pathways based on the NUS study shall remain valid. The emission reduction plans are set as percentage reductions compared to the baseline year 2019.
As part a of this transition plan, detailed measures were defined which will be incorporated into the company's corporate strategy over the next few years. Some of these measures are already being implemented. With regard to fossil fuels, a replacement of the existing gas heating systems with climate-friendly alternatives was defined.
The decarbonisation paths of the CRREM project were used to determine the targets. These are aligned with the European Union's 2050 target. Measures to reduce these emissions were defined for the individual emission sources. When determining the quantitative reduction, reference was made to what is technically feasible for CPI Europe and to the decarbonisation targets of Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).
As a key action to reduce scope 1 emissions the improvement of building components was identified. This will mostly happen during the regular replacement of the building components. Main areas are the exchange of gas heatings with preferably heat pumps in combination with photovoltaics and the improvement of HVAC units. Regarding scope 2 emissions a significant part of the necessary actions were already implemented. Procurement of green electricity and the conclusion of PPAs are the main actions. The largest part of emissions in S IMMO relate to fuel and energy-related activities in scope 3 due to the energy consumption of tenants. In order to reduce these emissions a multistage plan was implemented to digitalize the buildings and support S IMMO tenants to reduce their energy consumption and increase their profitability.
Based on current measures and cost estimates, the gross capital requirements (CapEx) for implementing CPI Europe Transition Action Plan are estimated to be between EUR 255.5m and EUR 424.0m. Most of these financing requirements are already covered by maintenance measures in the coming years.
Expenditures (operational as well as capital) required for implementation of these key actions rely mainly in technology. Technology is crucial in switching to renewable energy, in energy efficiency, but also in new developments. Therefore, the significant CapEx will be required in technology (changing to the low-carbon emission technology, thermal improvements of the buildings). Another significant expenditure, mainly operational expenditures, is related to switching from fossil fuels and non-renewable electricity to renewable sources.
Due to high uncertainty in the calculation methods, a lack of frameworks or guidelines the accurate locked-in GHG emissions from key assets were not calculated.
The buildings are developed for at least 50 years, but in reality, their lifespan is much longer and during this life-span technological system ensures a certain level of emitting emissions from their continued development and use.
GHG emission reduction targets have already been defined and they rely on installing low or zero carbon technologies and using renewable sources. These actions can reduce lock-in GHG emissions because project that generates zero greenhouse gas emissions, has no carbon lock-in GHG emission.
To the table of contents
One of the CPI Group targets is to increase EU taxonomy alignment economic activities at a consolidated Group level over time.
For further details please see the taxonomy chapter in this statement.
The Group's Climate Transition Action Plan outlines various objectives and strategies aimed at achieving a reduction in emissions in line with the 1.5C goal of the Paris Agreement. Our main emphasis during 2025 and into the 2030s will be directly reducing emissions rather than relying on offsetting measures.
The Climate Transition Action Plan is influenced by climate-related risks and opportunities. Recognizing our business' unique constraints and opportunities, we have tailored our sustainability objectives to be ambitious as well as achievable. This commitment extends across our entire value chain and is informed by a comprehensive double materiality assessment. This process identifies and prioritizes the ESG issues most relevant to our stakeholders and potential business impacts, aligning our strategy with stakeholder expectations and broader societal goals. Through this approach, we aim to create lasting value for our stakeholders and contribute to a sustainable future.
The measures defined in the transition plan have been incorporated into the company's budgeting process for upcoming years as strategic targets. Each year, the company invests significant amounts in the maintenance of its building stock. The existing financing requirement (CapEx) can be covered to a large extent by these annual budget funds. In addition, the implementation of most strategic goals is planned with the respective necessary replacement of building components.
The Climate Transition Action Plan was approved by the ESG Committee of CPI Europe's Supervisory Board.
As the transition plan was approved in 2024, the first evaluation of progress will be part of the next reporting period.
S IMMO has conducted a comprehensive assessment of Physical Climate Risks for all properties, both at the portfolio level and on an individual building basis. We evaluate climate risk with an external tool provided by ESG Software Climcycle, which is specifically designed and validated for this type of assessment.
The Physical Climate Risk module of the platform assesses potential risks by analysing a range of climate scenarios, utilising high-resolution projections and data from authoritative sources such as Copernicus and ISIMIP. The climate risk model projections are generated using open-access data sources, as recommended in the EU Taxonomy legislative text. This includes services like Copernicus, which employs the latest technology. Currently, the tool can identify 18 physical risks, both acute and chronic. The data is accessible at varying levels of detail. Furthermore, each risk includes up to four RCP scenarios with projections extending to the year 2100.
For activities with a projected lifespan of less than a decade, the assessment is conducted using climate projections at the most suitable minimal scale. For all remaining activities, the evaluation is executed using the most refined resolution available, employing cutting-edge climate projections across the full spectrum of future scenarios that align with the activity's expected lifespan.
This module systematically identifies and evaluates physical climate risks, offering valuable insights for developing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. Furthermore, this tool is designed to comply with EU Taxonomy regulations and to evaluate risks based on Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios, thereby facilitating informed long-term investment decisions.
For the entire Group's portfolio, we have conducted a two-tiered analysis resulting in two sets of findings. The first set is an aggregate evaluation for the entire company, for the years 2030 and 2050 based on the requirement of ESRS Regulation (EU) 2021/1019, highlighting which risks are frequently assessed as high within our portfolio. The prominent risks identified were water stress, heat stress and river floods. The second set provides an individual evaluation for each building. As a part of the individual evaluation for each asset with the high risks, possible adaptation solutions are listed that can be implemented to mitigate the risk. These adaptation solutions will be evaluated separately for each single asset. The adaptation solutions must be implement-ed within the next five years, in order to meet the EU Taxonomy criteria.

The process for identifying and assessing climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities is outlined in ESRS 2, specifically in the section regarding the double materiality assessment. Both physical and transition climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities have been taken into account. The identified material climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities are described in detail in the Materiality and Target table of ESRS 2, SBM-1.
The Group has identified climate-related hazards over the short, medium and long-term period defined in ESRS 2 and assessed whether its assets and business activities may be exposed to these hazards. Both chronic and acute climate-related hazards have been taken into account. For the entire Group's portfolio, we have conducted a two-tiered analysis resulting in two sets of findings. The first set is an aggregate evaluation for the entire company, highlighting which risks are frequently assessed as high within our portfolio. The second set provides an individual evaluation for each building.
The Group has identified the following risk, which has been determined to be non-material:
Operational costs and adaptation measures due to chronic weather conditions: Financial losses can arise for the company from unnecessarily high operating costs and from the significant loss in value of the property. According to the Climate Risk Assessment, water stress and heat stress have been identified as the primary risks. The assessment indicates that 8 of our buildings in Bucharest, Romania are situated in areas with a high risk of heat and water stress, which represents a portfolio value of EUR 535.1m.
In analysis scenarios of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) as follows have been used.
However, it is important to note that there are uncertainties and debates about the assumptions and outcomes of this scenario. The implications of these scenarios are evaluated per decade for all operations.
The Group has identified its journey for the particular RCPs:
RCP 2.6: Operating efficiency improvements; Energy efficient CapEx; New developments complying with EU Taxonomy and net zero energy building regulation; Diversification of the energy sources; Reduction in water intensity of property portfolio.
The scenarios, journeys and green measures identified are considered during the financial assessment as a part of the risk evaluations and calculations employed.
The following climate-related transition risks and opportunities in the Group's operations and along the upstream and downstream value chain have been considered:
These factors were taken into account during the double materiality assessment, which identified the following risks as material and detailed in Materiality and Target table of ESRS 2, SBM-1.
See further information under ESRS 2 MDR-P
Following actions and steps are being carried out to mitigate the effects of climate change in accordance to the Climate Transition Action Plan of CPI Europe AG:
reduction of related GHG emissions and a quick win for the emission reduction plan.
From a strategic point of view, S IMMO does not aim to produce electricity for the market. As a result, there will always be a need to purchase a residual amount on the market. CPI Europe has set itself and S IMMO the goal of only purchasing green electricity from the end of 2024. Compensation by means of CO2 certificates or guarantees of origin is no longer permitted.
Roll out of PV plants on S IMMO buildings The NUS study also examined the potential for electricity generation using PV systems on properties. Using the available roof space, it was determined that up to 130 GWh of electricity could potentially be generated on group level. The total electricity consumption at that time was determined to be 236.2 GWh, which means that around 55% of electricity consumption can be covered by self-generated green electricity on group level.
To reduce emissions from purchased goods and services a change in the procurement policy is necessary. Procurement decisions should be based on sustainability criteria, rather than the cheapest offer. The entire life cycle of the procured goods or services should be considered, independently of sustainability.
In the area of real estate development in particular, there is not only a need to design processes emission-free, but also to redesign the products. This also arises from the background of increased requirements for building emissions and energy efficiency.
Cooperation with tenants to reduce consumption by consumption-based billing
A roadmap covering several years is required save the majority share of emissions. The individual steps are presented below:
Ensure that the purchase of new commercial real estate considers sustainable travel options for employees to reduce commuting distances, e.g. by requiring that acquired properties be located near city centres and public transport to limit the average daily commute for employees.

CO2 emissions are calculated according to the GHG Protocol based on the principle of operational control. The reported CO2 emissions represent gross emissions. The CO2 equivalents for all greenhouse gases from the Kyoto Protocol (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFKW, PFC, SF6 and NF3) were considered in the calculation. Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions include all categories with the exception of 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.12 and 3.14.
In 2023, GHG reporting was harmonised within CPI Property Group, including CPI Europe and S IMMO. Since then, calculation of all environmental KPIs is performed by CPI Property Group. Due to this harmonisation, consistent conversion factors were used to calculate the previous year's emission values. This leads to deviations in the CO2 emissions that have already been published.
Since 2018, CPI Property Group has been working closely with the University Centre for Energy Efficient Buildings (UCEEB) of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU). UCEEB is as a technical support provider and adviser to the Group, supporting the Group in establishing and quantifying the Group's environmental targets as part of the Group's long-term strategy 2024 reporting period UCEEB provided data control.
CPI Property Group (including S IMMO) has developed and continuously enhanced its Environmental Impact Reporting Tool (ERT) for data collection and putting into the database. CPI Property Group's objective is to ensure the detail, accuracy and quality of our environmental performance reporting. The ERT allows disclosure across the Group and all its segments, despite the diversity of our portfolio.
The ERT is tailored to report in-line with GHG Protocol, with the help of an independent third party, the CI3 organisation. Since 2020, we expanded the scope of the Group's collection, monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions and all relevant categories of scope 3 are now measured and disclosed. So, our reporting is aligned with the GHG Protocol.
ERT and database solutions enable the monitoring of the Group's environmental performance through greater robustness, scope (activity and geography), efficiency and automation. For our purposes, the environmental Power BI is utilised due to its efficient ability to track and analyse performance across multiple levels (site, segment, region and Group) on a regular basis, assess results against targets and implement suitable corrective measures. Power Bi was also utilised for developing key figure tables and performance indicators in accordance with current guidelines of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
CPI Property Group's GHG reporting (including S IMMO) has been verified by CI2 as complying with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Since 2019, the Group has been in cooperation with CI2, and since 2021 with its sister company CI3. The CI3 company focuses on issues related to the carbon footprint, its reporting, verification and setting targets to reduce it. CI3 is a regional partner for CDP reporting. Through the review process, CI3 advised on the compatibility with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and compatibility with CDP reporting standards.
CI2 acts as a third-party and monitors, reviews, and independently validates the Group's GHG disclosures and methodology used. As the result of this cooperation, CPI Property Group's GHG footprint (including S IMMO) was verified, confirmed according to the procedures defined in the GHG Proto-

col and awarded CI2 conformity certificate. Recommendations and guides were prepared and will be incorporated into subsequent environmental reporting.
S IMMO ensures that the 2019 baseline is representative by adjusting it through a standardised calculation method that considers portfolio changes. This method also involves continuous monitoring of any structural changes to assess whether further adjustments to the baseline are necessary.
This allows for continued tracking against the original target while reflecting portfolio and structural changes. This process ensures that progress toward greenhouse gas reduction goals remains consistent and representative of real changes within the company's activities and external influence.
The CPI Europe's GHG emissions intensity reduction target has been developed as science-based, aligned with the Paris Agreement climate goals to limit the global temperature increase versus pre-industrial levels at 1.5°C.
In CPI Europe's Climate Transition Action Plan various objectives and strategies are set aimed at achieving a reduction in emissions in line with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement, from climate change perspective:
For a detailed description of the decarbonization levers please see section E1-1 of this statement
Based on the four pillars of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and in accordance with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy Regulation, S IMMO carried out climate risk analyses as described in E1.IRO-1_01-16.

tion related to our downstream value chain, i.e. tenants' consumption).
The objective was to use actual data for all types of consumption (fuel, electricity, district heating, water) and waste generated for the twelve-month period. To this end, automatically transmitted data (smart metering), read-out data and data from utility company invoices were used. Where no complete data was available, consumption was estimated using appropriate assumptions-based building type and lettable space. Where no data was available for the full year 2024, data from 2023 was

used. The energy consumption of buildings and acquired or sold during the year was considered for the full months in which these buildings were a part of the portfolio.
For the intensity indicators (energy intensity, water intensity, CO2 intensity) the reference total area of the buildings used as denominator. In addition to the total lettable area of properties that formed part of the portfolio throughout the year, the total lettable area of properties that were purchased or sold during the year were normalised on a monthly basis so that the area is equivalent to the number of months relevant for the report on a pro rata basis. The intensity calculated contains the consumption obtained as described above.
(E1-6_01 - E1-6_04, E1-6_07, E1-6_09 - E1-6_13, E1-6_33 - E1-6_34) In 2024 we register a slight increase of our greenhouse gas emissions (market-based) by 2.43% in comparison with the 2019 baseline. This is mainly due to the fact that no green electricity was purchased in the Czech Republic for the reporting year. With the purchase of green electricity in the coming year, a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is expected.

The CO2 footprint calculation is based on the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Emissions are stated in CO2-equivalent (CO2e) terms. The CO2e values for electricity and district heating are based on information by the energy suppliers and on publicly available sources, including the European data from the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) as well as the government conversion factors of the British Department for Energy Security. CO2 emissions are verified at Group level.
Please see explanation for E1-5
Revisions to our environmental disclosures in 2023 were made where relevant and based on updated information for correctness and consistency:
To provide more accurate reporting, a new calculation was used during 2024 to better determine district heating emission factors. As a result of this updated methodology, significant changes were observed in the emission factors for district heating. To ensure consistency in year-on-year greenhouse gas emissions disclosures, the changes in district heating emission factors were retroactively applied to the year 2023. This led to a notable decrease in greenhouse gas values for 2023, due to the lower emission factor values identified.
In 2024, the scope of the portfolio subject to collection, monitoring and reporting of environmental data was expanded as follows:
Developments are excluded from the reporting scope until the first full calendar month after a building goes into operation.
Major refurbishment is defined as any alteration that affects more than 50% of the total building floor area or requires the relocation of more than 50% of regular building occupants. Absolute consumption values are included for a major refurbishment, while for intensity calculations, GLA values are proportionately reduced to reflect the actual period of full operation in the year. Also, disclosures onfuels consumed by company cars, business trips, employee commuting and our proportional share of equity investments emissions are included for GHG in ESRS tables.
In 2023, the internal resales of buildings were incorporated into our reporting procedures to accurately allocate emissions to particularly companies. For 2024 reporting, we continue with this "internal resales" procedure.
Definitions in the Group's reporting differ between segments as follows:
The Reference Gross Leasable Area is used for the final calculations of indicators and includes not only the GLA of the properties that were part of the portfolio for the entire year, but also the GLA of buildings acquired/sold during the year, normalized monthly.

S IMMO publishes environmental KPIs each calendar year, including all data available up to and including 28 February 2025. Certain information pertaining to 2024 was not available within this period. This information is taken from the Group's 2023 environmental report as a proxy. Data will be updated in subsequent reporting once available.
S IMMO uses the operational approach for GHG emissions calculation.
In 2024, one PV plant was completed with a capacity of 207 kWp at the location of Vienna Twin Tower so that in total 874.73kWp of PV Capacity are installed at our portfolio. Renewable electricity production is present within the Austrian portfolio, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia with an annual production of 961 MWh, representing avoiding the emission of 255.38t CO2e in 2024.
The information regarding the primary data is collected for consumption, as well as for other calculations. Based on this information the percentage of total GHG Emissions using primary data is 73%.
The share of estimations split by scopes is: Scope 1: 18%
Scope 2: 23%
Scope 3: 38%
Following Scopes 3 GHG emissions categories have been excluded, because all these are not relevant for S IMMO's business (real estate).
Category 3.14 Franchises is also not relevant. All emissions from our buildings that are owned by the reporting company (acting as lessor) and leased to other entities in the reporting year (that are not included in scope 1 or scope 2) are already included in category 3.13.
For Scope 3 GHG emissions categories we use hybrid approach using both screening and inventory. We use a screening for following categories: 3.4, 3.11,
We use an inventory for following categories: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15.
Scope 1 is reported based on operational control. Under the operational control approach, S IMMO accounts for 100% of the GHG emissions from operations over which it or one of its subsidiaries has operational control. Scope 1 encompasses GHG emission from greenhouse gas sources (greenhouse gas source physical unit or process that releases a GHG into the atmosphere) owned or controlled by the organisation (Direct GHG emissions).
Scope 2 includes energy indirect greenhouse gas emissions. GHG emission from the generation of imported electricity, heat or steam consumed by the organisation (Energy indirect GHG emissions) are reported here.
3.01 We include main purchased goods and services (in terms of volume, cost, impact on GHG, etc.). Method of GHG Calculation is spend-based method – estimates emissions for goods and services by collecting data on the economic value of goods and services purchased and multiplying it by relevant secondary (e.g., industry average) emission factors (e.g., average emissions per monetary value of goods). It is possible to combine it supplier-specific data from product-level GHG inventory from main suppliers.
3.02 Main purchased capital goods are included (such as remodels and refits of leased spaces, smaller refurbishments etc.). All upstream (cradle-to-gate) emissions of purchased capital goods are included. The method of GHG calculation is the same as for category 3.1 - spend-based method and supplier-specific method.
3.03 Includes consumption of fuels and energy purchased (heat and electricity) in S IMMO's properties. This category includes emissions related to the production of fuels and energy purchased and consumed by the reporting company in the reporting year that are not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2.
3.04 Emissions from third-party upstream transportation and distribution connected to the fit-out works in the reporting company's owned or controlled operations in the reporting year.
3.05 Emissions from third-party disposal and treatment of waste generated in the reporting company's owned or controlled operations in the reporting year. This category includes emissions from disposal of both solid waste and wastewater. Waste treatment at facilities owned or controlled by the reporting company is accounted for in scope 1 and scope 2.
Waste-type-specific method is used, which involves using emission factors for specific waste types and waste treatment methods. Waste reporting has improved at our assets during the past years.
3.06 This category includes emissions from the transportation of employees for business-related activities in vehicles owned or operated by third parties, such as aircraft, trains, buses, and private passenger cars. Emissions (refrigerants, oils, maintenance etc) from leased vehicles operated by the reporting company (S IMMO´s car fleet) not included in Scope 1 are reported in 3.6 category. Business trips by private cars are reported in 3.6 category. Well-to-tank (WTT) emissions from fuel consumption are reported under Scope 3.3.
Distance-based method, which involves collecting data from employees on commuting patterns (e.g., distance travelled, and mode used for commuting) collected by questionnaire survey distributed to all employees. In the next step data collected from questionnaire are calculated into emissions by applying appropriate emission factors for the modes used.
3.08 Category 3.8 includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from the operation of assets that are leased by the reporting company in the reporting year and are not already included in the reporting company's scope 1 or scope 2 inventories.
Asset-specific method, which involves collecting asset-specific (e.g., site-specific) fuel and energy use data and process and fugitive emissions data or Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data from individual leased assets. These data are provided by an environmental reporting tool of CPI Property Group. It concerns leased cars and leased property.
3.11 It includes the sale of renewable electricity to the grid from the PV.
3.13 Includes emissions from the operation of assets that are owned by S IMMO (acting as lessor) and leased to other entities in the reporting year that are not already included in Scope 1 or Scope 2.
3.15 We report proportional Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from equity investments in the reporting year in this category (Investments). Proportional emissions from equity investments are allocated to the investor based on the investor's proportional share of equity in the investee.
The calculations of property portfolio value were performed in accordance with IFRS in line with the consolidated financial statement. The property portfolio value is based on the consolidated data of the Group and includes the application of the fair value method.
In DMA the material transition risks were identified and to our assets are linked following transition risks:
In accordance with these risks all assets with a significant fuel consumption (defined as assets with GLA exceeding 5,000 m2 , gas consumption higher than 600 MWh in 2024 and fuel intensity more than 50kWh/m2 ) as well as assets with at least one red flag in the Climate risk analysis (CRA) were considered as at material transition risk. For further details of the CRA please see E1.SBM-3_01 – 07.
The total fair value of assets at material transition risk before considering climate mitigation actions is EUR 1,584m, equalling 45,58% of assets based on GLA. Mitigation measures are considered in all assets as the Climate Transition Action Plan of CPI Europe covers the entire portfolio.
Carrying amount of assets by energy efficiency class as stated in the Energy performance certificates.

| F | 41,35 |
| G | 0,50 |
| None | 323,57 |
The potential effects on future financial performance and position for assets and business activities at material transition risks have been assessed. Please see detailed description in E1.IRO-1.
As material transition risks we identified
The assessment of risks was done based on a combination of the likelihood of occurrence and the potential magnitude/size of the financial effects. Our assessment took into account also the different perspective - short, medium and long-term.
All assets considered to be at material transition risk were also considered as potentially stranded. This results in an estimated amount of potentially stranded assets of EUR 1,584m based on fair value.
Invoices, automatic meter readings, manual-visual readings, or data provided by tenants were considered as primary data.
If any part of the reported data was based on estimation, the share of estimation had to be reported (up to 25%, up to 50%,or 100%).
This resulted in the following shares of estimation:
As described in ESRS 2, SBM-3, currently the direct impact on the Group's financial statements resulting from the material transition risks are minimal. Given that our Material impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs) are closely tied to our core business and growth potential, our initiatives aimed at enhancing opportunities and mitigating associated risks are integrated within our established corporate governance approach. In the future the cost for emission certificates can be considered between EUR 21.4m and 36.3m.
The expected cost savings from climate change mitigation actions consist mainly of cost savings of higher operating costs for emission certificates, or increased costs for use of restricted substances (as HFCs). Another amount of expected savings is from energy consumption savings.
The expected cost savings from climate change mitigation actions in total are between EUR 59.3m and 117.2m depending on the future development of the price for CO2 certificates.
The expected cost savings from climate change adaptation actions consist mainly of cost savings of settlement of damages after hazardous events (for example floods, tornado) or decreasing the costs of maintenance.
The expected cost savings from climate change adaptation measures cannot yet be quantified. A corresponding analysis is planned for the financial year 2025.

Since the majority of our drinking water supply comes from municipal sources, we are dependent on the water supply and therefore have no material impact on affected communities.
Policy Overview
The internal guidelines that indirectly relate to our organisation's approach to water savings principles are detailed in two key documents:
the Group Policy on Environment and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
This policy states the principles for the Group in terms of environmental performance management designed to optimise the use of natural resources, replacement and savings of potable water, among other objectives.
the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct This policy encapsulates the Group's proactive stance on environmental protection and its commitment to efficiency use of resources, where water is one of the critical.
A description of the policies can be found under ESRS 2, MDR-P.
CPI Europe has set group ESG Strategy & Goals to reduce water intensity across its portfolio which are approved by the ESG Committee of CPI Europe's Supervisory Board and are closely tracked and managed at Group level. This initiative aims to minimize water usage and its environmental footprint also for S IMMO.
S IMMO has conducted climate risk analyses to identify locations with potential water scarcity issues – these were some assets in Bucharest, Romania. To ensure that drinking water is used in a resource-efficient manner in buildings, both technical and behavioural measures are implemented. S IMMO has been using flow restrictors, sensor-controlled taps and modern toilet cisterns with dual-flush systems help to minimise flushing water consumption within its building portfolio These are also required in many of our buildings due to their LEED or BREEAM certification.
Each asset has a main water meter, since the majority of the drinking water supply comes from municipal sources. Water treatment is disposed by the local waste-water network, which is treated in accordance with local laws and regulations.
At our office myhive "Am Wienerberg" for example, we use rainwater cisterns and storage tanks to significantly reduce the amount of water drawn from municipal sources. Future plans include the replacement of water-intensive grassy areas with planting that supports biodiversity.
With the digitalisation of consumption data which will be installed within the upcoming years, water consumption will be continuously monitored to detect leaks and ensure that water pipes are regularly checked for leaks and repaired rapidly in the future, ensuring that water and marine resources are used as efficiently as possible.
Also, we are raising awareness among tenants and educating them about the importance of using water sparingly through our green lease agreements.
A target has been set to reduce the water intensity of the property portfolio by 10% by 2030, compared with the 2019 baseline. Since the goal is a group-wide one, we are naturally aiming to implement more effective measures as quickly as possible in areas of high water stress, which were identified based on a comprehensive assessment of physical climate risks for all properties owned and managed by CPI Property Group. This assessment of physical climate risks uses the geodata from the Aqueduct Water Stress Projections provided by the WRI. This reduction target is part of the Group's broader ESG objectives to improve resource efficiency and mitigate environmental impacts.
The target of reducing the water intensity is voluntary (not required by legislation).
The Group does not have significant amount of water retained or discharged back to the water environment therefore the water withdrawal, water consumption and water discharges are disclosed in the same amounts. The Group reports municipal water consumption separately from water sourced onsite (extraction or capture) and water reuse. The water consumption amounted to 822,273 m3 2024.

The objective was to use actual data for water consumption for the twelve-month period. To this end, automatically transmitted data (smart metering), read-out data and data from utility company invoices were used. Where no complete data was available, consumption was estimated using appropriate assumptions based on lettable space. Where no data was available for the full year reporting year, data from the previous year were used.

The daily operation of buildings produces a substantial volume of waste. Therefore, S IMMO undertakes a comprehensive assessment of waste generation within its portfolio. This process includes the collection of data pertaining to waste production, encompassing quantities, methods of disposal, and the types of analyses conducted on this data to discern patterns and identify opportunities for enhancement. In the course of identifying areas for improvement, waste assessments were performed across the portfolio to get actual data as a benchmark for the segment. An evaluation of the potential risks associated with various waste types was incorporated into a double materiality assessment, which took into account potential environmental, health, and safety risks. Inadequate waste management practices, particularly in landfills, can lead to air pollution and the contamination of water and soil. These risks can be mitigated through proactive waste management, elevated recycling rates, and, most critically, the prevention of waste generation. S IMMO has identified the predominant challenge as the reduction of mixed waste and have established our objectives in this domain accordingly.
(E5-1_03_AR 9 a and b, E5-3_13-27)
The internal guidelines that indirectly support our company's circular economy principles are detailed in two key documents:
This policy states the principles for the Group in terms of circular economy management designed to optimise the use of natural and other resources, minimise waste and promote reuse and recycling of raw materials, among other objectives.
Moreover, our waste management objectives are consistent with Directive (EU) 2018/851, that underscores the significance of sustainable waste management practices. Notably, Article 11(2) of Directive (EU) 2018/851 establishes member state recycling and reuse targets, which we are committed to achieving. Furthermore, the directive emphasises the importance of improving the efficiency of resource usage and recognising waste as a valuable resource, facilitating the shift towards a circular economic model. This transition involves adopting sustainable production and consumption practices and is anticipated to create substantial opportunities for local economies and stakeholders, including those in the real estate sector. Consequently, waste reduction practices are covered in our internal guidelines for suppliers and tenants.
The Group has introduced following circular economy actions (particularly related to waste reduction):
Waste management is also governed by legislation, which we diligently monitor within each local jurisdiction. All assets adhere to local regulations and facilitate the segregation of waste into relevant categories for our buildings' operations. Furthermore, we actively encourage our tenants to adopt green lease agreements, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
As a part of its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, the Group has adopted an objective (aligned with EU targets) to eliminate waste sent to landfill whenever feasible, plus the intention to achieve a 55% recycling rate by year end 2025 (increasing to 60% by 2030). We also ensure that our commitments are transparently communicated and publicly accessible. Our established processes are firmly rooted in the functions that bear day-to-day responsibility for ensuring adherence to our policies.
In 2024 the waste recycling rate across the entire portfolio was 41.71%.
Waste streams are contingent upon the particular segment of our portfolio. The most significant waste streams among recyclable materials are paper and plastic. These materials are generated in larger quantities due to documentation, and other operational activities, however, a gradual decline in their production is taking place with the advent of electronic documentation that does not necessitate a printed counterpart. While in sectors such as hospitality, biological waste including food scraps and organic matter is predominant. The primary non-recyclable waste stream across the various segments is municipal mixed waste. This category encompasses a diverse array of materials that are not readily separable for recycling purposes, including contaminated packaging, specific types of plastics, and various composite materials. Municipal mixed waste is significantly predominant across all sectors, rendering it a critical emphasis in our waste management strategies. Initiatives are primarily concentrated on reducing and managing this category of waste in order to mitigate its environmental impact.

Data for waste is derived from invoices of the waste disposal companies. In case tenants having their own waste management, the share of waste generated by tenants is completed with site-specific benchmarks.
Waste data is disclosed based on the invoices of the respective waste disposal companies. Where data was not available for individual assets, it was complemented with comparable figures, calculated using country- and asset-specific actual data, or estimated. Where no data was available for the full year 2024, data from 2023 was used. The waste generated by buildings acquired or sold during the year was considered for the full months in which these buildings were part of the portfolio.
Please see explanation for E1-5
Data is collected based on based waste disposal processes, reported in tons. In case no real data is available, appropriate estimations were made as described in ESRS 2.
For the reporting year 2024 we included hazardous waste recovery and disposal to our waste reporting for the first time.

Disclosure Requirement related to ESRS 2 SBM–3 – Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Motivated and well-educated employees are the key to success for our strategy and business model. It's our employees who are executing the strategy, seeking innovation and developing new ideas. Their skills, motivation, and engagement directly impact productivity, quality, and overall business performance. S IMMO strives to create a framework for its employees in which they can develop their potential, strengths, and competencies to the best of their abilities.
Material IRO's related to own workforce are disclosed under ESRS 2 SBM-3 of this statement.
The report by S IMMO includes all employees on whom direct influence can be exerted by the Group and also hotel employees over whom the Group has no direct influence (even though the Group has employment contract with these employees). This refers to 566 employees in Austria and Hungary. They were taken into account during the Double Materiality Assessment and the management of material IRO's considering that there is only very limited information available and that the management of the hotels is not subject to directives by the management of S IMMO. The employees of the two hotels differ from the other employees in that S IMMO has no responsibility for personnel management (selection, policies, target agreements, etc.). Hotel employees are included in all numerical data points but are not covered by processes, policies and work instructions. The own workforce of S IMMO consists of employees engaged either by S IMMO AG or one of its subsidiaries and nonemployees. The majority of non-employees relate to the Budapest Marriott Hotel and refer to employees sourced from third party undertakings to cover seasonal peaks.
The identified material negative impacts are widespread and systemic. They are not connected to any specific business segments, countries or assets.
Professional and personal training abilities and supporting diverse teams have already resulted in a material positive impact. These impacts relate to own operations, regardless of the country or segments.
The whole workforce of S IMMO is engaged in the real estate and hotel operations in Austria, Germany, Hungary and Croatia as employees or non-employees. Considering the local circumstances, no individuals were identified with a greater risk of harm with concerning negative impacts on their human rights.

Policies dealing with material impacts regarding our own workforce are listed above. For further details please refer to the policy overview under ESRS 2 MDR-P.
All policies and guidelines cover the Group's own workforce excluding hotel employees and are approved by the Group's Management Board, which is responsible for regularly reviewing their validity.
The employees of S IMMO AG in Vienna are organised within the framework of a Works Council. This Works Council represents the interests of the employees vis-à-vis the employer.
Internal policies and guidelines are made available to employees via the intranet.
The Group Human Capital and Employment Relationships Policy which was newly introduced at CPI Europe in 2024 and adopted at S IMMO at the beginning of 2025. It covers all material impacts, risks and opportunities related to S IMMO's own workforce. This policy thus, in connection and compliance with the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, provides guiding principles relating to the treatment of the Group's own workforce and candidates and other topics relevant for human capital. It defines the standards for working environment and relationships including the commitment to human rights and freedom of association. The policy covers following material impacts:
The Guideline on Education and Further Training specifies S IMMO's approach to well-trained and experienced employees. The measures described therein shall enhance employee performance and productivity and mitigate the potential decrease in productivity.
The commitment to The Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations (UN), the UN Guidelines for Human Rights and Business, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the ten principles of the UN Global Compact (UNGC) are laid down in the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. The Code of Business Ethics and Conduct is unified within the CPI Group. All subsequent policies and guidelines are in line with the above-mentioned standards.
Compliance with human rights including labour rights is secured via the human rights due diligence process which is carried out regularly.
Engagement with own workforce is usually carried out via Works Council which is described under S1-2.
S IMMO is subject to numerous laws, regulations and standards. All business transactions and processes must therefore be carried out in such a way as to always comply with the relevant laws, regulations, industry standards and best practices in the countries where we conduct our business activities, both formally and in terms of content, and thereby also observing the local social norms. The Human rights due diligence process carried out for S IMMO by CPI Europe in 2024 identified no material risk of trafficking in human beings, forced labour or compulsory labour and child labour within the own workforce. Therefore, and in connection with the high governance standards applied in the Group, it was not considered necessary to explicitly mention these matters in the respective policies.
We are committed to creating an inclusive working environment in the Group, characterised by openness and mutual respect where every employee feels valued and heard.
The elimination of discrimination, the promotion of equal opportunities and other ways to advance diversity and inclusion form an integral part of the Group Human Capital and Employment Relationships Policy. This policy addresses all grounds for discrimination based on racial and ethnic origin, colour, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, or other forms of discrimination covered by Union regulation and national law. The entire workforce must be recruited, trained, supported and treated fairly and equally and only based on characteristics that relate to the work that they perform, such as their talent, skills, experience and potential. All companies of the Group are required to subject their human resources and employment related policies to continuous assessment to examine how they affect protected groups and to identify whether their policies help to achieve equality of opportunity for all these groups or whether they have an adverse impact.
Accident prevention is covered by the Human Capital and Employment Relationships Policy and also by workplace accident and prevention management system which is implemented in accordance with Austrian Legislation. It is regularly monitored and evaluated. Health and safety inspections are conducted at S IMMO's own office locations at least once a year by the safety officer, the company physician, the Works Council and the Human Resources department. Occupational safety risks are evaluated and compliance with statutory workplace and safety regulations is checked. S IMMO has one specially trained employee who serves as safety officer and can address any issues as they arise.
In Vienna, the employees of S IMMO formed a Works Council in 2021. This represents the interests of the employees to the management. The members of the Works Council are elected in internal democratic elections for a maximum of five years. The management and the Works Council are in constant dialogue regarding personnel issues in the company.
Communication with the management is carried out by the Works Council elected by the workforce. The Works Council's representatives are responsible for communicating directly with the company. Nevertheless, the company is free to collect feedback from the workforce in addition to this.
There is regular exchange between the Works Council and the Human Resources department. Ad-hoc meetings with the Management Board are held when necessary, covering all material impacts.
The Management Board of S IMMO AG is the highest authority for ensuring dialogue with the workforce. The final decision in personnel matters also lies with the company's Management Board.
The cooperation between management and the Works Council is regulated by the Austrian Labour Constitution Act. This law is based on the European Convention on Human Rights, which has constitutional status in Austria. Management gains an insight into the workforce's perspective on the Group's actions from the institutionalised employee survey and from exchanges with staff representatives. Their role is to convey on the views of the workforce to management and for this reason they also have special protection against dismissal.
The Works Council collects feedback from the workforce on Group's activities and communicates this to management. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the Works Council to make agreements for the workforce. These agreements have the force of law. In the past, management and the Works Council have already reached several agreements that also improve the position of employees compared to the applicable labour law.
The management has set out the framework for the equal treatment of all employees in the Group Human Capital and Employment Relationships Guideline. The Works Council monitors the actions set by the management and points out problems with their implementation. Any problems that arise are resolved as quickly as possible.
CPI Group's goal is to avoid the need for remedy by setting up appropriate measures to avoid material negative impacts on the own workforce. Therefore, a human rights due diligence as well as a double materiality assessment are performed by CPI Europe on a regular basis and appropriate measures are set up. These assessments include S IMMO.
Issues or concerns can be raised either directly to the Compliance Officer or the Internal Audit manager or via a third-party whistleblower system (EQS Integrity Line). The Compliance Officer serves as an independent and confidential point of contact and is available to employees at any time to answer questions. Both ways ensure anonymity to the reporter. Physical whistleblowing reports must be manually recorded by the Compliance Officer through the whistleblowing system before further steps are taken in order to document the correct processing of the whistleblowing report. The legal provisions for the protection of personal data must be strictly observed in doing so. The processing of whistleblowing reports must be documented in the whistleblowing system. The report is processed promptly in each instance by the Compliance Officer – in the event of Human Resources' responsibility, the Compliance Officer together with the Human Resources representative. When a report is received the Compliance Officer must promptly inform the Management Board of the receipt of the whistleblowing report and the subject. Once the investigation is completed, the Compliance Officer has to present a report to the Management Board including suggestions for remediation measures. They are drawn up taking the individual circumstances into account and have to be approved by the Management Board. Review is carried out upon demand.
The annual mandatory compliance training also addresses the existence of grievance mechanisms to the own workforce. The whistleblower system is mentioned in the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and other relevant policies. It is available for everybody on the company's website. Own workforces trust in processes and structures will be part of the next employee survey which is planned for 2025.
Further details of the whistleblowing process and policy are described under chapter G1-1 in this statement.
S1–4 – Taking action on material impacts on own workforce, and approaches to mitigating material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to own workforce, and effectiveness of those actions
The following key actions were carried out during 2024:
Healthcare management with a focus on preventive healthcare and promotion of sporting activities
They applied to the own workforce of S IMMO (excluding hotel employees) and were carried out on regular basis during the whole reporting period and will continue for the next financial year.
Our priorities include strengthening our appeal as an employer, supporting the growth and satisfaction of our workforce, promoting social responsibility, and championing diversity and equal opportunities. Derived from this, various actions have been carried out in the 2024 financial year to achieve policy objectives and targets.
In connection with employee development, the focus of training is on expanding professional as well as personal and leadership skills. An important instrument in the context of performance management is the annual performance review between employees and their managers. These define clear targets and individual training activities. Performance reviews were conducted with 96.9% of employees of S IMMO in 2024. These interviews also include feedback from employees on several questions relating to personal well-being, further development and teamwork as well as suggestions for improvement. Individual training and coaching are provided coordination with their managers as well as participations in conferences.
The gender pay ratio was reported for the first time for the 2023 financial year. It is analysed regularly, and further equalization is being worked on.
S IMMO's employees are offered flexible and partially flexible working hours, as well as part-time working models. Since April 2023, employees with all-in contracts at the Vienna location have been able to reduce overtime worked as part of a flexitime account. This means that more work-intensive phases can be compensated with time off and employees gain flexibility - an important step towards a healthy work-life balance.
To support our employees' healthcare needs, we offer a preventive healthcare scheme. In addition to measures offers to fulfil all legal requirements, responsibilities there are also offers like carrying out vaccinations, medical check-ups, eye tests and providing advice on preventive healthcare.
Effectiveness is tracked via defined metrics and targets as well as individually for each employee in the own workforce during the course of the annual appraisal interview and the biannual employee satisfaction survey. If there are any actions required to avoid negative impacts on our own workforce, they are identified during the annual appraisal interviews..
No material risks or opportunities were identified in the double materiality assessment.
S1–5 – Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities
The following targets were set in relation to own workforce:
This target contributes to ensure gender equality. It is measured in percentage as the ratio of female senior managers to the total senior managers in head count at the end of each reporting period. It covers the own workforce (excluding non-employees) and is applicable for each reporting year. In the reporting period, the share of female senior managers within S IMMO was 44.6%. Thus, this target was met for the reporting period.
This target supports the enhanced employee performance and productivity and promoting creativity and innovation as well as it mitigates potential decreased productivity. It is measured in total hours of trainings completed by the employees as of the end of the reporting period divided by the head count at the end of the reporting period. In the reporting year 2024, S IMMO's employees completed 15.7 hours of training per person on average. Thus, this target was met for the reporting period.
Both targets apply to the reporting period and are recurring.
The targets were set in a group-wide ESG-working group during the course of harmonizing the ESG-Strategies of CPI Property Group, CPI Europe and S IMMO AG in 2023.

All employees of S IMMO and S IMMO-owned Hotels were included with their fix and variable salaries as well as additional bonuses and benefits-in-kind. All employees were grouped into four categories: Top-management, middle-management, entry-management and non-management. For those categories as well as for all employees (excluding Board-members) the following formula was applied: average male salary – average female salary / average male salary. The data from the S IMMO owned hotels was already received on a calculated level, thus the consolidated numbers were calculated by using a weighted average.

ESRS G1 Business conduct
The dual management structure of S IMMO consists of a Management Board and a Supervisory Board. These corporate bodies are strictly separated, in both their composition and functions, and can therefore independently carry out their assigned duties. The Management Board is responsible for the management of the company, the Supervisory Board for monitoring.
For more detailed information concerning the composition of the governing bodies and their access to expertise and skills with regard to sustainability matters, please see section ESRS 2, GOV-1 in this report.

The identification of IROs as part of the ESRS governance standard is based on the assessment of the ESG project team in collaboration with the Compliance Officer and the Internal Audit, as well as the analysis of group-wide policies and internal guidelines.
The assessment of business conduct covers the entire CPI Europe, which is facilitated by an extensive and regular communication of business conduct procedures, meaning that policies are generally in place across CPI Europe and the strategy for corporate culture is aligned throughout CPI Europe.
The assessment is based on discussions and surveys with the relevant stakeholders. In addition, the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, the EU Whistleblower Directive, the UK Bribery Act 2019, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as current and future EU anti-corruption laws and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises were considered and assessed against current practices.
The following impacts and risk were identified in connection with business conduct:
| Topic | Sub-Topic | Impact/risk explanation | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 Business conduct |
Corporate culture (G1) | Potential negative impact | Lack of corporate culture forms the basis for unethical behaviour and can lead to corruption and bribery. |

Please see also SBM3 of ESRS 2 for more detailed information on the double materiality analysis and for the risk identification process.
Policies are in place for each identified material sustainability issue to prevent, mitigate and remediate actual and potential impacts, address risks and pursue opportunities. The most senior person responsible for implementation monitors effectiveness on an ongoing basis and reports actions alongside the relevant disclosures. Policies relating to specific sustainability matters are disclosed under each topic on the following pages:
Please see the disclosures under ESRS 2, MDR-P.
S IMMO is committed to business conduct based on integrity, honesty, fairness, transparency and responsibility. Mutual trust is the basis for constructive cooperation within the company and with business partners. All activities in the areas of compliance and the fight against corruption, sustainable procurement and human rights are carried out in accordance with these principles.
The Code of Business Ethics and Conduct serves as the basis for all business activities and internal decisions and includes clear guidelines on respect for basic rights, integrity and fairness, a ban on discrimination and rules for relations with competitors, customers and professional associations.
The principles of responsible management also include the clear commitment to and the support for internationally recognised human rights. In particular, S IMMO is committed to social and societal responsibility through the participation in the United Nations Global Compact.
The Whistleblowing System Directive sets out the communication channels and compulsory regulations for the receipt, submission, assessment and processing reports of violations of S IMMO's business principles and the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct or legal infringements concerning the company.
S IMMO's Organisational Policy Issuer Compliance covers the legal prohibition on the use of insider information for insider trading and the unlawful disclosure of insider information.
S IMMO's high standards were also formally established along the value chain in the financial year 2023 by introducing a groupwide standardised Supplier Code of Conduct.
The Management Board of S IMMO has overall responsibility for issuing, implementing and monitoring compliance with the individual guidelines. Advice on the implementation of the organisation's policies and practices for responsible business conduct can be obtained from the persons responsible in the respective departments. The Legal department and Compliance Officer are responsible for monitoring new legislation and requirements in the areas of corporate and operative law.
All guidelines are available to all employees on the intranet. All S IMMO employees receive annual training on the above topics.
In accordance with the national Whistleblower Protection Act (HinweisgeberInnenschutzgesetz) and EU-Whistleblower Directive EU 2019/193, the purpose of the Whistleblowing System Directive is to establish a working environment in which employees feel at comfort reporting potential violations of the S IMMO's business principles and the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct or violations of legal regulations which have been perceived by them personally to the best of their knowledge and belief without fear of personal consequences or other disadvantages.
Employees and other stakeholders are able to report issues such as harassment and discrimination, corruption, human rights violations and conflicts of interest via an electronic whistleblowing system, the 'EQS Integrity Line' whistleblowing tool. Reports can be submitted either anonymously or non-anonymously. The whistleblowing system is available to all on the S IMMO website. Suspicious cases can also be reported directly to the Compliance Officer in verbal or written form.
S IMMO has procedures for investigating business conduct incidents, including incidents of corruption and bribery, in a prompt, independent and objective manner. The Compliance Officer reports such cases to the Management Board, which then decides whether the case should be investigated by Internal Audit department or by an external expert. Following the conclusion of the proceedings, the Compliance Officer presents the result to the Management Board, along with any recommended measures. In accordance with the procedure set out in the Whistleblowing System Directive, the whistleblower will receive a confirmation of receipt of the report within 7 days and a response on the outcome of the investigation within a reasonable time, but not more than 3 months from the confirmation of receipt of the report.
In accordance with the Whistleblowing System Directive, whistleblowers who have submitted reports in good faith may not be subject to any form of penalty, discrimination or disadvantage, even if the initial findings indicate no infringement, or if the facts of the matter turn out to be inaccurate or are not pursued further, provided that the whistleblower did not intentionally submit a false report.
All employees were trained on the topic of whistleblowing via e-learning in 2024. The Compliance Officer, who is responsible for processing whistleblower reports, participated in external webinars or trainings as part of her professional development.
The Anti-Corruption, Anti-Bribery and Countering of Frauds Policy is based on the UN Convention against Corruption and outlines the principles of conduct and ethical requirements for dealing with corruption. This policy is supplemented by the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) Policy which is intended to ensure compliance with applicable laws relating to the AML and the CTF.
S IMMO counters the risk of bribery through employee training, cost comparisons, payment authorizations, internal audits and the possibility for third parties to report possible cases of bribery through the whistleblowing tool. S IMMO mitigates the risk of passive bribery by not providing financial or material resources for active attempts at corruption (e.g. against public officials).
The Anti-Corruption, Anti-Bribery and Countering of Frauds Policy and the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) Policy are published on the Group's website and intranet.
The 'EQS Integrity Line' whistleblowing tool allows employees and third parties to report violations. Any allegations of incidents that indicate potential violations of the Anti-Corruption, Anti-Bribery and Countering of Frauds Policy, as well as any action suspected to breach the anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, are promptly investigated by the Compliance Officer. He can report to the Supervisory Board if a member of the Management Board member is involved. If allegations are made against the Compliance Officer, management should be informed immediately.
The results of the investigation are brought to the attention of the Management Board and, in the event of its involvement, to the Supervisory Board. It is the responsibility of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, respectively, to take concrete measures in regard to the case in question.
S IMMO has identified the following individuals and groups of persons as 'functions-at-risk' in relation to bribery and corruption:
However, all employees of S IMMO are familiarised with the principles of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and the Anti-Corruption, Anti-Bribery and Countering of Frauds Policy trough mandatory, regular held training.
The Management Board member, which was in office throughout the year, completed all training courses (100%). The two board members who were only appointed to the Management Board shortly before the end of the year will complete the training courses in 2025.
There were no incidents, convictions or fines for violations of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws or violations of procedures and standards related to anti-bribery and anti-corruption identified in 2024.
Furthermore, S IMMO has not had any legal proceedings brought against any of its employees for corruption or bribery. Nor has the company identified any actual impact or incidents of corruption and bribery in which it is directly involved in through a business relationship in our value chain.
Following a moderate economic expansion of 1.1% in the European Union in 2024, GDP growth is expected to come in at 1.5% in 2025 and 1.8% in 2026. In the euro area, economic growth is expected to be slightly lower, at 1.3% in 2025 and 1.6% in 2026. The inflation rate declined again in the EU in 2024 as a result of a drop in energy prices. Inflation is projected at 2.4% for 2025 and 2.0% in 2026. In addition, experts expect the European Central Bank to cut interest rates further in 2025, following several key interest rate cuts in 2024. The key rate is 2.65% as of March 2025.
After several challenging years in the real estate sector, growth was seen for the asset classes of residential, office and retail properties as well as hotels in 2024. Further expected interest rate cuts in 2025 should lead to consistently positive development on the real estate markets and to an increase in transaction volumes. The lower inflation will likely also have a positive impact on construction, operating and other costs. In addition, rising real household income in the euro area is expected to stimulate demand and thus further drive up prices for residential properties.
Due to the increasing level of regulation and ever stricter requirements for properties in terms of sustainability, demand for energy-efficient and ESG-compliant properties is also increasing – much to the disadvantage of older and/or non-ESGcompliant properties. At the same time, social developments such as increasing digitalisation, more flexible working models including remote working and online shopping must be observed with regard to their implications for the sector.
Details on the economy as a whole and on the individual real estate markets can be found in the Group management report starting on page 77.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical turbulence on a number of fronts had a significant impact on the profitability and market value of the various asset classes in recent years. Against this backdrop, S IMMO has adjusted its strategy on an ongoing basis since 2022. Initially, the focus was on the sale of low-yielding German residential properties, and this was gradually expanded to all properties in Germany in 2023. In the meantime, the German portfolio has been sold off almost entirely, with the final transactions expected to close in the first half of 2025 and the withdrawal from the German market set to be completed during the years 2025/26. Properties were also successfully sold in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary. Some of the closings took place in January 2025. The resulting liquidity from the sales creates the basis for future growth and earnings.
Focus is being placed on further transactions during the current financial year – in particular, the sales programme in Austria is set to continue, depending on market conditions. A further two properties in Vienna were sold in January 2025.
Along with transactions, the continuous intensification of cooperation within CPI Property Group will be a central area of emphasis in the coming months. CPI Europe (formerly IMMO-FINANZ) has been the sole shareholder of S IMMO since the successful squeeze-out in December 2024. Asset management tasks were already taken over by CPI Property Group in 2024, and synergies are increasingly being realised and departments consolidated in other operational areas, as well. In this context, employees of S IMMO AG have also been transferred to other organisational units within the Group. Further consolidations and measures aimed at optimising the Group structure are planned for the 2025 financial year.
In addition, the ESG strategy was already adapted for the entire CPI Property Group in 2023. Efforts are continuously being made across the Group to harmonise the reporting in accordance with the CSRD and increase the number of Taxonomyaligned properties.

AUDITOR'S REPORT *)
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of
S IMMO AG, Vienna,
and of its subsidiaries (the Group) comprising the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our audit the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the legal regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reportings Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU, and the additional requirements under Section 245a Austrian Company Code UGB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 (in the following "EU regulation") and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Our responsibilities under those regulations and standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Austrian General Accepted Accounting Principles and professional requirements and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained until the date of this auditor's report is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion by this date.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the fiscal year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
tion experts according to IAS 40 in connection with IFRS 13 at fair value.
The following are the key audit matters that we identified:
| Titel | Valuation of Investment Property |
|---|---|
| Risk | S IMMO AG reports investment properties in the amount of EUR 3,131 mio in its consolidated finan |
| cial statements as of December 31, 2024. Moreover, the consolidated financial statements as of | |
| December 31, 2024 report a positive result from property valuation amounting to EUR 65.2 mio. |
December 31, 2024 report a positive result from property valuation amounting to EUR 65.2 mio. Investment properties are measured based on valuation reports from external, independent valua-
The valuation of investment properties is subject to material assumptions and estimates. The material risk for every individual property exists when determining these assumptions and estimates such as the discount/capitalization rate and rental income. A minor change in these assumptions and estimates can have a material impact on the valuation of investment properties.
The respective disclosures relating to accounting policies and significant judgements, assumptions and estimates are shown in Section "2.6.1.", "2.8.1." and "3.1.1.", each "Investment property" as well as "3.2.6. Results from property valuations" in the consolidated financial statements.
S IMMO AG, Vienna Dezember 31, 2024 TRANSLATION Consideration in the audit To address this risk, we have critically assessed the assumptions and estimates made by management and the external valuation experts and performed, among others, the following audit procedures with involvement of our internal property valuation experts: • Assessment of concept and design of the underlying property valuation process • Assessment of design and effectiveness of relevant key controls in the underlying process based on a sample • Assessment of the competence, capability and objectivity of the external valuation experts engaged by management • For selected property valuation reports for rented properties: Assessment of the applied methods, assessment of the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions and estimates (eg. rental income, discount/capitalization rate, vacancy rate) by means of comparison with market data as well as comparison whether the fair values as per property valuation reports are withing our own developed range of fair values • For selected property valuation reports for properties under development and undeveloped land: Assessment of the applied methods, assessment of the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions and estimates (eg. ground reference value, status of development) by means of comparison with market data as well as comparison whether the fair values as per property valuation reports are withing our own developed range of fair values • Check of certain inputdata as included in the valuation reports with data in the accounting system or underlying agreements • Assessment of the adequacy and completeness of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements by the management Titel Accounting for and valuation of acquisitions of real estate entities from related parties
Risk In the financial year 2024, S IMMO AG acquired real estate entities from CPI Property Group. CPI Property Group is a related party in the meaning of IAS 24.
The purchase prices of the acquired real estate entities are based on property values determined by external valuation experts. To evaluate whether the applied purchase prices are at arm's length, S IMMO AG engaged additional independent external experts.
Recognition and measurement of these acquisitions require the application of complex accounting rules, in particular the assessment of whether the transaction constitutes the acquisition of a business under IFRS 3 or is to be recognized as an acquisition of assets. The real estate values on which the purchase prices are based, are subject to material assumptions and estimates.
There is a risk that acquisitions are not accounted for according to the applicable accounting rules. In addition, the property values determined on which the purchase prices are based could be derived from inappropriate valuation assumptions and therefore lead to purchase prices that are not at arm's length.
The respective disclosures relating to accounting policies and significant judgements, assumptions and estimates are shown in Section "2.2.4. Consolidation scope" and "5.6. Related parties disclosures" in the consolidated financial statements.
Consideration in the audit To address this risk, we have critically assessed the assumptions and estimates made by management and the external valuation experts and performed, among others, the following audit procedures:
Risiko In the second quarter of 2024, the decision was made to gradually withdraw from the German market. The withdrawal takes place through both individual and portfolio sales. Since the Germany segment is a significant geographical business area and the number and scope of transactions (asset deals and share deals) are significant, this matter was considered as a key audit matter.
The respective disclosures are shown in Section "2.4. Discontinued Operation – Segment Germany" in the consolidated financial statements.

Consideration in the audit To address this risk, we have performed, among others, the following audit procedures:
To the table of contents
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report and the annual financial report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the Group's management report and the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, to consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements under Section 245a Austrian Company Code UGB for them to present a true and fair view of the assets, the financial position and the financial performance of the Group and for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing, which require the application of ISA, always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing, which require the application of ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

To the table of contents
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Pursuant to Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the management report for the Group is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as to whether the management report for the Group was prepared in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.
Regarding the consolidated non-financial statement contained in the group management report, it is our responsibility to examine whether it has been prepared, to read it and to evaluate whether it is, based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the management report for the Group in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing for the audit of the management report for the Group.
In our opinion, the management report for the Group was prepared in accordance with the valid legal requirements, comprising accurate disclosures pursuant to Section 243a UGB (Austrian Company Code), and is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
To the table of contents
Based on the findings during the audit of the consolidated financial statements and due to the thus obtained understanding concerning the Group and its circumstances no material misstatements in the management report for the Group came to our attention.
We were elected as auditor by the ordinary general meeting at May 3, 2024. We were appointed by the Supervisory Board on January 9, 2025. We are auditors since the financial year 2023.
We confirm that the audit opinion in the Section "Report on the consolidated financial statements" is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee referred to in article 11 of the EU regulation.
We declare that no prohibited non-audit services (article 5 par. 1 of the EU regulation) were provided by us and that we remained independent of the audited company in conducting the audit.

Report of the Supervisory Board
In spite of persistently challenging market conditions, S IMMO AG continued to maintain its trajectory of strong operational performance in the 2024 financial year. The improved earnings can largely be attributed to strategic adjustments made in recent months, including the sale of German properties with low yields as well as office properties with limited development potential.
Meetings of the Supervisory Board cover topics such as the company's management, financial position, strategy and business development, ESG issues, measures requiring approval and risk management. Investment projects above a specific volume also require approval from the Supervisory Board. The current composition of the Supervisory Board and its individual committees allows the assigned duties to be performed efficiently with regard to the distribution of competencies.
As of 31 December 2024, the Supervisory Board consisted of a total of four members – three shareholder representatives and one employee representative:
(Vít Urbanec was a member of the Supervisory Board until 10 December 2024 and has been a member of the Management Board of S IMMO AG since 11 December 2024)
Andreas Feuerstein (since 22 October 2021)
(Elisabeth Wagerer was a member of the Supervisory Board until 02 February 2024)
Brief CVs of the members of the Supervisory Board can be found in the Management bodies subsection on page 183 of this report.

Martin Matula
As of 31 December 2024, there were three committees formed by the full Supervisory Board from among its members: the Audit Committee, the Committee for Management Board Matters and the ESG Committee.
The Audit Committee's role includes monitoring the financial reporting process and the auditor's work in addition to monitoring the effectiveness of the Internal Control System, the risk management system and the audit and group audit processes. As of 31 December 2024, the Audit Committee comprised the following members: Martin Matula (since 29 January 2024), Vladislav Jirka (since 29 January 2024) and Andreas Feuerstein (employee representative). Vít Urbanec was Chairman of the Audit Committee from 29 January 2024 to 10 December 2024. Martin Matula became the new Chairman of the Audit Committee on 25 March 2025. The Audit Committee met twice in 2024.

The Committee for Management Board Matters is responsible for negotiating contracts with members of the Management Board and determining the remuneration policies for the Management Board and Supervisory Board. As of 31 December 2024, the Committee for Management Board Matters consisted of Chairman Vladislav Jirka (Chairman since 29 January 2024), Matej Csenky (since 29 January 2024) and Martin Matula (since 29 January 2024). The Committee on Management Board Matters met once during the reporting year. A number of circular resolutions were also adopted during the reporting year.
The ESG Committee focuses in particular on matters related to sustainability as well as the social, economic and environmental responsibility of the company. Its responsibilities include defining an ESG strategy, managing regulatory requirements
and addressing ESG-related risks. Since August 2023, a joint Group-wide ESG strategy has been pursued in partnership with CPI Property Group S.A. and CPI Europe AG. As of 31 December 2024, the ESG Committee comprised the following members: Martin Matula (Chairman since 29 January 2024) and Matej Csenky (since 29 January 2024). Vít Urbanec was a member of the ESG Committee from 29 January 2024 to 10 December 2024, and Elisabeth Wagerer was an employee representative member until 02 February 2024. The ESG Committee did not meet in the 2024 reporting period.
In the 2024 reporting period, 14 meetings of the Supervisory Board were held, with several held in person and several taking place in the form of phone or video conferences. Each Supervisory Board member attended more than half of the meetings of the Supervisory Board in person or by telephone or video link (a detailed list of attendance during the past financial year can be found below). In addition, 22 circular resolutions were passed in writing by the Supervisory Board.

In the reporting year, the Supervisory Board fulfilled its responsibilities under the law, the Articles of Association and the Rules of Procedure to which it is subject both at the meetings of the Supervisory Board and at the meetings of its committees and advised, supported and oversaw the Management Board in the management of the company.
At meetings of the Supervisory Board and committees, material issues such as the economic situation (including with respect to inflation and interest rate policies), risk and opportunity management, strategic direction and business performance were discussed at length based on reports from the Management Board along with detailed presentations and documents. The Supervisory Board focused in particular on optimising the company's portfolio and transactions, and subsequently adjusted the corporate strategy as proposed by the Management Board.
The responsibilities of the Management Board are jointly exercised by all three members of the Management Board (see the Management bodies subsection on page 182). Together with the Supervisory Board, they pursue the goal of managing the company responsibly and with a long-term focus to achieve lasting value creation and consistent success. The Management Board and Supervisory Board work closely together in the interests of the company. The in-depth, ongoing dialogue between the two boards forms the basis for this cooperation.
Changes took place in the Management Board in the 2024 financial year. Effective as of 02 February 2024, the Management Board contract with Herwig Teufelsdorfer was terminated by mutual agreement. Tomáš Salajka was appointed as his successor on the Management Board. In December 2024, the Supervisory Board and Tomáš Salajka mutually agreed to dissolve his Management Board mandate effective as of 10 December 2024. At the same time, the Supervisory Board decided to appoint Pavel Měchura, who is already a member of the Management Board of CPI Europe AG and has been CFO of CPI Property Group S.A. since December 2024, as well as Vít Urbanec, who was recently a member of the Supervisory Board of S IMMO AG, to the Management Board of S IMMO AG.
The Audit Committee prepared the proposal for the appointment of the auditor for the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements as well as the auditor for the (separate) non-financial report. To this end, the Audit Committee reviewed the documentation submitted by Ernst & Young Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft m.b.H. (hereinafter EY) regarding its competence to conduct the audit. A written report confirmed the absence of any grounds for exclusion or circumstances that might constitute bias on the part of the auditor. The auditor's statement pursuant to Section 270 (1a) of the Austrian Commercial Code (Unternehmensgesetzbuch, UGB) was obtained, the legal relationships between the auditor and S IMMO AG and its board members were reviewed, the fees for the audit were negotiated and a recommendation was made regarding the appointment of EY as the (Group) auditor and auditor for the (separate) non-financial report. At the 35th Annual General Meeting held on 02 May 2024, EY was appointed as the auditor of the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements, and the auditor for the (separate) nonfinancial report for the 2024 financial year.
EY audited the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024 and issued an unqualified audit opinion. The management report and the Group management report are consistent with the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed the annual financial statements as of 31 December 2024, the management report as well as the Management Board's proposal for the appropriation of profits, the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and the Group management report including the non-financial report. The disclosures pursuant to Section 243a UGB have been accurately presented. The audit was carried out in particular through discussions with the Management Board and EY. As a result of the corresponding audit and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended that the Supervisory Board approve the annual financial statements.
The Supervisory Board then reviewed the documents submitted in accordance with Section 96 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG), found no objections and approved the results of the audit. The Supervisory Board approved the 2024 annual financial statements, which were accordingly adopted pursuant to Section 96(4) AktG, and declared its approval of the consolidated financial statements, the management report, the Group management report including the non-financial report prepared pursuant to Section 245a UGB according to IFRSs and the Management Board's proposal for the appropriation of profits.
Due to the entry into force of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the prepared non-financial report was audited with limited assurance by EY as part the Group management report.
The Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting that, if necessary, it pass a resolution on the appropriation of profits in accordance with the Management Board's proposal and approve the actions of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Management Board and the team at S IMMO AG for their enduring commitment. I would like to wish the entire workforce, the members of the Management Board and the members of the Supervisory Board all the best for the current financial year.

für das Geschäftsjahr 2024 der S IMMO AG, Wien
Der Jahresabschluss zum 31. Dezember 2024 ist nach den Rechnungslegungsvorschriften des UGB aufgestellt.
Im Sinne der Größenmerkmale gemäß § 221 UGB handelt es sich bei der Gesellschaft um ein Unternehmen von öffentlichem Interesse gemäß § 189a UGB und somit um eine große Kapitalgesellschaft.
Der Jahresabschluss wurde unter Beachtung der Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung sowie der Generalnorm, ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage des Unternehmens zu vermitteln, aufgestellt.
Bei der Erstellung des Jahresabschlusses wurde der Grundsatz der Vollständigkeit eingehalten.
Bei der Bewertung wurde von der Fortführung des Unternehmens ausgegangen.
Bei den Vermögensgegenständen und Schulden wurde der Grundsatz der Einzelbewertung angewandt. Dem Vorsichtsgrundsatz wurde Rechnung getragen, indem insbesondere nur die am Abschlussstichtag verwirklichten Gewinne ausgewiesen werden. Alle erkennbaren Risiken und drohende Verluste, die im Geschäftsjahr 2024 oder in einem früheren Geschäftsjahr entstanden sind, wurden berücksichtigt.
Schätzungen beruhen auf einer umsichtigen Beurteilung. Soweit statistisch ermittelbare Erfahrungen aus gleich gelagerten Sachverhalten vorhanden sind, wurden diese bei den Schätzungen berücksichtigt.
Immaterielle Vermögensgegenstände werden, soweit gegen Entgelt erworben, zu Anschaffungskosten aktiviert und über die voraussichtliche wirtschaftliche Nutzungsdauer abgeschrieben. Als Nutzungsdauer wird ein Zeitraum von 3 - 5 Jahren zugrunde gelegt.
Sachanlagen werden zu Anschaffungs- oder Herstellungskosten abzüglich Investitionszuschüssen und planmäßiger Abschreibungen bewertet. Zur Ermittlung der Abschreibungssätze wird generell die lineare Abschreibungsmethode gewählt. Für die einzelnen Anlagengruppen wurde folgende Nutzungsdauer zugrunde gelegt:
| Nutzungsdauer in Jahren |
|
|---|---|
| Gebäude | 22 - 40 |
| Hardware | 3 - 5 |
| Betriebs- und Geschäftsausstattung | 3 - 10 |
Bewegliche Gegenstände des Anlagevermögens bis zu einem Wert von EUR 1.000,00 (geringwertige Vermögensgegenstände) wurden im Jahr der Anschaffung voll abgeschrieben.
Die Finanzanlagen sind zu Anschaffungskosten abzüglich außerplanmäßiger Abschreibungen unter Beachtung des gemilderten Niederstwertprinzips bewertet. Außerplanmäßige Abschreibungen werden vorgenommen, wenn die Wertminderung voraussichtlich von Dauer ist. Die Bewertung der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen erfolgt anhand des Eigenkapitals des Tochterunternehmens zuzüglich/abzüglich eventuell vorhandener stiller Reserven und stiller Lasten aus den einzelnen Immobilien (abzüglich Steuerlatenz).
Zuschreibungen zu Vermögensgegenständen des Anlagevermögens werden vorgenommen, wenn die Gründe für die außerplanmäßige Abschreibung weggefallen sind. Die Zuschreibung erfolgt auf maximal den Nettobuchwert, der sich unter Berücksichtigung der Normalabschreibung, die inzwischen vorzunehmen gewesen wäre, ergibt.
Forderungen und sonstige Vermögensgegenstände werden mit dem Nennbetrag angesetzt. Soweit erforderlich, wird die späte Fälligkeit durch Abzinsung berücksichtigt. Für erkennbare Risiken werden Einzelwertberichtigungen gebildet.
Wertberichtigungen auf Konzernforderungen erfolgen auf Basis des Eigenkapitals des Konzernunternehmens zuzüglich/ abzüglich eventuell vorhandener stiller Reserven und stiller Lasten aus den einzelnen Immobilien (abzüglich Steuerlatenz) analog zur Bewertung der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen. Sofern beim Darlehensnehmer ein negatives "adaptiertes" Eigenkapital vorliegt, werden entsprechende Wertberichtigungen vorgenommen.
Die aktiven und passiven Rechnungsabgrenzungsposten werden mit dem Nennwert bewertet.
Die aktive Rechnungsabgrenzung beinhaltet Disagios im Zusammenhang mit der Begebung eigener Anleihen. Die Disagios werden über die Laufzeit der Anleihe linear aufgelöst. Vor dem 1.1.2016 entstandene Disagios wurden sofort aufwandswirksam erfasst.
Aktive latente Steuern werden auf Differenzen, die zwischen den unternehmensrechtlichen und steuerrechtlichen Wertansätzen von Vermögensgegenständen, Rückstellungen, Verbindlichkeiten und Rechnungsabgrenzungsposten bestehen, die sich in späteren Geschäftsjahren voraussichtlich abbauen, angesetzt.
Vom Wahlrecht des § 198 Abs. 9 UGB, latente Steuern auf steuerliche Verlustvorträge zu bilanzieren, wurde kein Gebrauch gemacht. Die Bilanzierung latenter Steuern erfolgte unter Beachtung der Ausführungen in der AFRAC-Stellungnahme 30 ("Latente Steuern im Jahres- und Konzernabschluss").
Der bilanzierte Betrag an aktiven latenten Steuern stellt einen Überhang aktiver über passive latente Steuern dar. Eine Saldierung der aktiven mit den passiven latenten Steuern wird vorgenommen, weil eine Aufrechnung der tatsächlichen Steuererstattungsansprüche mit den tatsächlichen Steuerschulden rechtlich möglich ist.
Die sonstigen Rückstellungen berücksichtigen die zum Bilanzstichtag erkennbaren Risiken und der Höhe nach noch nicht feststehenden Verbindlichkeiten. Sie werden mit dem Erfüllungsbetrag angesetzt.
Verbindlichkeiten sind mit dem Erfüllungsbetrag unter Bedachtnahme auf den Grundsatz der Vorsicht angesetzt.
Fremdwährungsforderungen sind mit dem Entstehungskurs bzw. dem niedrigeren Devisengeldkurs zum Bilanzstichtag bewertet worden.
Fremdwährungsverbindlichkeiten sind mit dem Anschaffungskurs bzw. dem höheren Devisenbriefkurs zum Bilanzstichtag bewertet worden.
Die bisher angewandten Bewertungsmethoden wurden auch bei der Erstellung des vorliegenden Jahresabschlusses beibehalten.
Die Aufgliederung des Anlagevermögens und seine Entwicklung im Geschäftsjahr ist im Anlagenspiegel angeführt (Beilage zum Anhang). Im Geschäftsjahr 2024 wurde keine außerplanmäßige Abschreibung vorgenommen (Vorjahr: TEUR 0).
In den Grundstücken und Bauten ist ein Verschmelzungsmehrwert in Höhe von TEUR 2.297 (Vorjahr: TEUR 2.297) enthalten.

Die Forderungen aus Lieferungen und Leistungen beinhalten offene Mietzinsforderungen und Betriebskostenforderungen. Einzelwertberichtigungen in Höhe von TEUR 28 (Vorjahr: TEUR 108) sind bereits abgezogen.
Die Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen betreffen Cash-Pool-Forderungen in Höhe von TEUR 10.965 (Vorjahr: TEUR 1.737), Forderungen gegenüber Konzerngesellschaften aus Steuerumlagen in Höhe von TEUR 4.654 (Vorjahr: TEUR 5.235) sowie diverse Weiterverrechnungen in Höhe von TEUR 1.390 (Vorjahr: TEUR 2.668).
Die sonstigen Forderungen und Vermögensgegenstände beinhalten mit TEUR 0 (Vorjahr: TEUR 5) Up-Front-Prämien für Zinscaps, die gem. AFRAC-Stellungnahme Nr. 15 "Die unternehmensrechtliche Bilanzierung von Derivaten und Sicherungsinstrumenten" bilanziert und über die Laufzeit abgeschrieben werden. Weiters umfasst die Position mit TEUR 1.896 (Vorjahr: TEUR 1.740) sonstige Forderungen aus Hausverwaltung, mit TEUR 2.479 (Vorjahr: TEUR 6.075) Forderungen gegenüber dem Finanzamt, mit TEUR 0 (Vorjahr: TEUR 12.000) Forderung aus einem Immobilienverkauf und mit TEUR 11.735 (Vorjahr: TEUR 930) sonstige Forderungen.
In den sonstigen Forderungen sind Erträge in Höhe von TEUR 15.711 (Vorjahr: TEUR 20.369) enthalten, die erst nach dem Stichtag zahlungswirksam werden.
Im aktuellen Jahr stellt der bilanzierte Betrag für latente Steuern einen Überhang aktiver über passive latente Steuern dar. Eine Saldierung der aktiven mit den passiven latenten Steuern wird vorgenommen, weil eine Aufrechnung der tatsächlichen Steuererstattungsansprüche mit den tatsächlichen Steuerschulden rechtlich möglich ist.
Die Entwicklung der latenten Steuern stellt sich wie folgt dar:
| Unternehmens recht |
Steuerrecht | Temporäre Differenzen |
Latente Steuer (Steuersatz 20%) |

| Verschmelzungswerte | 2.059.004 | 0 | -2.059.004 | -411.801 |

| Übertragungsbetrag Abfertigung | 0 | 29.992 | 29.992 | 5.998 |
| Summe Stand 31.12.2024 | 614.602 |
Per 31.12.2024 ergibt sich auf saldierter Basis eine aktive Latenz in Höhe von TEUR 615 (Vorjahr: passive Latenz in Höhe von TEUR 26). Die Veränderung zum Vorjahr in Höhe von TEUR 641 stellt einen latenten Steuerertrag dar. Latente Steuern auf temporäre Differenzen, die sich zwischen dem steuerrechtlichen Wertansatz von Anteilen an verbundenen Unternehmen und Beteiligungen und dem unternehmensrechtlichen Wertansatz ergeben, werden nur insofern gebildet, als dass die Gesellschaft nicht in der Lage ist, den zeitlichen Verlauf der Auflösung der temporären Differenzen zu steuern, und es nicht wahrscheinlich ist, dass sich die temporären Differenzen in absehbarer Zeit auflösen werden.

Das Grundkapital wird mit TEUR 267.458 (Vorjahr: TEUR 267.458) abzüglich eigene Anteile in Höhe von TEUR 12.051 (Vorjahr: TEUR 11.869) ausgewiesen und zerfällt in 73.608.896 Stück auf Inhaber lautende Stückaktien. Die Aktien notierten bis zum 02.12.2024 an der Wiener Börse.
Der Vorstand ist bis 26.11.2025 gemäß § 169 AktG ermächtigt, mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats, das Grundkapital um bis zu EUR 133.728.961,81 durch Ausgabe von bis zu 36.804.448 Stück neuen auf Inhaber lautende Stammaktien der Gesellschaft gegen Bar- oder Sacheinlagen auch in mehreren Tranchen zu erhöhen und den Ausgabebetrag, der nicht unter dem anteiligen Betrag des Grundkapitals liegen darf, sowie die sonstigen Ausgabebedingungen im Einvernehmen mit dem Aufsichtsrat festzusetzen.
Im Geschäftsjahr 2024 wurden 50.152 Stück eigene Aktien zu einem Gesamtpreis von TEUR 746 rückgekauft. Somit hält die S IMMO AG per 31.12.2024 3.316.689 Stück (Vorjahr: 3.266.537 Stück) eigene Aktien, die in Übereinstimmung mit den Regelungen des RÄG 2014 vom Grundkapital abgesetzt und durch Umwidmung frei verfügbarer Gewinnrücklagen in einer eigenen Rücklage (TEUR 12.051) erfasst wurden. Der Unterschiedsbetrag wurde mit den Gewinnrücklagen verrechnet. Im Geschäftsjahr wurde die Rücklage für eigene Anteile um TEUR 182 erhöht. Im Geschäftsjahr 2024 wurden keine Aktien aus einem genehmigten Kapital gezeichnet.
Insgesamt unterliegt ein Betrag von TEUR 615 (Vorjahr: TEUR 0) einer Ausschüttungssperre gem. § 235 Abs. 2 UGB. Der Vorstand schlägt vor, von dem im Jahresabschluss zum 31. Dezember 2024 ausgewiesenen Bilanzgewinn in Höhe von EUR 511.872.805,40 für das Geschäftsjahr 2024 eine Dividende in Höhe von EUR 100.000.000,00 auszuschütten und den Restbetrag von EUR 411.872.805,40 auf neue Rechnung vorzutragen.
Die Kapitalrücklage setzt sich zur Gänze aus einer gebundenen Kapitalrücklage zusammen und beträgt TEUR 202.520 (Vorjahr: TEUR 202.520).
Im laufenden Jahr haben sich die Gewinnrücklagen wie folgt entwickelt:

Derivate werden zur Reduzierung des Zinsänderungsrisikos eingesetzt. Zinsänderungsrisiken ergeben sich aufgrund bestehender variabel verzinslicher Finanzierungsverbindlichkeiten. Sicherungsinstrumente werden in der Regel auf die Laufzeit der abzusichernden Zahlungsströme aus den Finanzierungsverbindlichkeiten abgeschlossen, für den Fall, dass Sicherungsinstrumente beispielsweise nicht für die gesamte Laufzeit der Finanzierungsverbindlichkeiten verfügbar sind, kommen auch rollierende Sicherungsstrategien zum Einsatz.

Im Dezember 2022 wurde von den Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union die EU-Richtlinie zur Gewährleistung einer globalen Mindestbesteuerung für multinationale Unternehmensgruppen und große inländische Gruppen in der Union (EU-Richtlinie Nr. 2022/2523 vom 14. Dezember 2022) beschlossen. Die Richtlinie war von den EU-Mitgliedstaaten bis 31. Dezember 2023 in nationales Recht mit Wirkung ab 1. Jänner 2024 umzusetzen. Sie sieht eine zusätzliche Steuer auf Gewinne vor, die mit einem effektiven Steuersatz von weniger als 15 % besteuert werden.
In Österreich wurde die EU-Richtlinie mit dem Mindestbesteuerungsreformgesetz BGBl 187/2023 mit Wirkung ab 1. Jänner 2024 umgesetzt.
Aufgrund der Übernahme der CPI Europe AG (vormals IMMOFI-NANZ AG) und der S IMMO AG durch die CPI Property Group S.A., Luxemburg, im Jahr 2022 wird die Umsatzschwelle von EUR 750 Mio. überschritten. Daher unterliegen die S IMMO AG sowie die Konzerngesellschaften der S IMMO den Bestimmungen des Mindestbesteuerungsgesetzes. Die CPI Property Group S.A. ist die oberste Muttergesellschaft der S IMMO AG sowie der Konzerngesellschaften der S IMMO.
Die CPI Europe AG (vormals IMMOFINANZ AG) hat als oberste österreichische Geschäftseinheit eine etwaige Mindeststeuer in Österreich für alle von ihr beherrschten, niedrigbesteuerten Geschäftseinheiten zu entrichten. Die S IMMO AG unterliegt somit zwar den Bestimmungen des Mindestbesteuerungsreformgesetzes, hat selbst aber keine Ergänzungssteuer in Österreich zu entrichten.
Die CPI Europe AG (vormals IMMOFINANZ AG) kann nach Maßgabe der gesellschaftsrechtlichen Erfordernisse von der S IMMO AG einen Ausgleich für die von ihr entrichtete Mindeststeuer fordern. Es wurde jedoch noch keine Ausgleichsvereinbarung abgeschlossen.
Im Geschäftsjahr 2024 wurden gemäß § 198 Abs. 10 Satz 3 Z 4 UGB keine latenten Steuern, die aus der Anwendung des Mindestbesteuerungsgesetzes oder eines vergleichbaren ausländischen Gesetzes entstehen, angesetzt.
Bezüglich der Angabe gemäß § 238 Abs. 1 Z 18 UGB (Aufwendungen für die Abschlussprüfung) wird auf die entsprechende Angabe im Anhang des Konzernabschlusses zum 31.12.2024 verwiesen, der beim Firmenbuch des Handelsgerichts Wien hinterlegt ist.
Die Gesellschaft beschäftigte im Jahresdurchschnitt 2 Vorstandsmitglieder, 37 Angestellte und keine Arbeiter (im Vorjahr 2 Vorstandsmitglieder, 43 Angestellte und keine Arbeiter).
Die S IMMO AG, Wien, stellt einen Konzernabschluss gemäß § 245a UGB in Übereinstimmung mit den vom International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) formulierten Standards (IFRS und IAS) und Interpretationen (IFRIC und SIC), wie sie in der Europäischen Union (EU) anzuwenden sind, auf. Der Konzernabschluss ist beim Handelsgericht Wien hinterlegt. Ein gesonderter konsolidierter nicht finanzieller Bericht wird erstellt und im Rahmen des Geschäftsberichtes veröffentlicht.
Die S IMMO AG, Wien, stellt den Konzernabschluss für den kleinsten Kreis von Unternehmen auf. Die CPI PROPERTY GROUP S.A. stellt den Konzernabschluss für den größten Kreis von Unternehmen auf. Der Konzernabschluss wird am Unternehmenssitz in Luxemburg veröffentlicht.
Die bisherige steuerliche Unternehmensgruppe gemäß § 9 Abs. 1 KStG mit der S IMMO AG als Gruppenträgerin wurde rückwirkend mit Beginn des Jahres 2023 beendet.
Die Gesellschaft ist nunmehr und mit Wirkung ab Beginn des Jahres 2023 Gruppenmitglied einer steuerlichen Unternehmensgruppe gemäß § 9 Abs. 1 KStG der CPI Europe AG (vormals IMMOFINANZ AG).
Zwischen dem Gruppenträger CPI Europe AG (vormals IMMOFINANZ AG) und der S IMMO AG besteht ein Vertrag zur Regelung des Steuerausgleichs. Die S IMMO AG bildet dabei einen eigenen Steuerumlageverrechnungskreis, welcher sich aus der S IMMO AG selbst und den S IMMO Gruppenmitgliedern zusammensetzt.
Die Ermittlung des Steuerausgleichs des Steuerumlagenverrechnungskreises erfolgt demnach nach der Belastungsmethode: weist der Steuerumlagenverrechnungskreis ein positives steuerliches Ergebnis aus, dann ist eine positive Steuerumlage in Höhe von 20 % an den Gruppenträger zu entrichten. Im Falle eines negativen steuerlichen Ergebnisses ist dieses mit späteren positiven Ergebnissen des Steuerumlagenverrechnungskreises ohne zeitliche Beschränkung zu verrechnen.
Die Ermittlung des Steuerausgleichs der S IMMO Gruppenmitglieder erfolgt ebenfalls nach der Belastungsmethode: weist ein Gruppenmitglied ein positives steuerliches Ergebnis aus, dann ist eine positive Steuerumlage in Höhe von 23 % an die S IMMO AG zu entrichten. Im Falle eines negativen steuerlichen Ergebnisses erhält das inländische Gruppenmitglied keine sofortige Zahlung, vielmehr werden die negativen Ergebnisse als interner Verlustvortrag des jeweiligen Gruppenmitgliedes in Evidenz gehalten und mit zukünftigen positiven Ergebnissen verrechnet.
Die S IMMO AG und ihre Tochterunternehmen sind gemäß § 243b. Abs. 7 UGB von der Erstellung einer nichtfinanziellen Erklärung befreit, da sie in die konsolidierte nichtfinanzielle Erklärung der S IMMO Gruppe innerhalb des Konzernlageberichts einbezogen sind.
Für alle nichtfinanziellen Angaben (inkl. jenen zur EU-Taxonomie) wird daher auf die konsolidierte nichtfinanzielle Erklärung der S IMMO Gruppe innerhalb des Konzernlageberichts verwiesen. Diese nichtfinanzielle Erklärung wurde in Übereinstimmung mit den European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) erstellt und erfüllt ebenso die Vorgaben des österreichischen Nachhaltigkeits- und Diversitätsverbesserungsgesetzes (NaDi-VeG).
Es bestehen weder heuer noch im Vorjahr Beziehungen mit nahestehenden Personen, welche nicht fremdüblich sind.
Die Organe der Gesellschaft setzten sich wie folgt zusammen:
Vorstand:
• Mag. Elisabeth WAGERER (bis 02.02.2024, Arbeitnehmervertreterin bis 02.02.2024)
Die Aufsichtsratsmitglieder erhielten für das Geschäftsjahr 2024 folgende Vergütungen (inkl. Sitzungsgelder):
| JUDr. Martin MATULA, LL.M. | EUR 58.338,46 |

| JUDr. Matej CSENKY | EUR 49.153,85 |
| Vít URBANEC, M.D. | EUR 40.856,19 |
Es bestehen keine Vorschüsse, Kredite oder Haftungsverhältnisse an die Mitglieder des Vorstandes bzw. des Aufsichtsrates.
In Fortführung der Portfoliostrategie verkaufte die S IMMO AG im ersten Quartal 2025 bisher zwei Immobilien. Nach dem Bilanzstichtag zum 31. Dezember 2024 sind keine weiteren Vorgänge von maßgeblicher Bedeutung für die Gesellschaft eingetreten, die weder in der Bilanz noch in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung berücksichtigt sind.

Die S IMMO AG ist eine international tätige Immobilieninvestment- und entwicklungsgesellschaft mit Sitz in Wien; sie notierte seit 1987 bis Dezember 2024 an der Wiener Börse. Sie ist zum 31.12.2024 als Konzernleitgesellschaft der S IMMO Gruppe direkt bzw. über Tochterunternehmen indirekt in Österreich, Deutschland und CEE (Ungarn, Tschechien, Slowakei und Rumänien) tätig. In ihrem Portfolio hält die Gesellschaft unmittelbar bzw. mittelbar über Tochterunternehmen Büro-, Geschäftsund Wohnflächen sowie Hotels. Das Unternehmen verfolgt das Ziel, den Unternehmenswert im Sinne seiner Aktionäre durch langfristige, ertragreiche Immobilieninvestments bzw. Immobilienprojektentwicklungen nachhaltig zu steigern. Unter dieser Prämisse entwickelt es das Portfolio beständig weiter und optimiert es durch aktives Asset Management.
Der Firmensitz der S IMMO AG ist in Wien. Es bestehen keine Zweigniederlassungen.
Die S IMMO AG betreibt keine Forschung und Entwicklung.
Der Geschäftsverlauf 2024 war vor allem von nach wie vor hohen Zinsen und hoher Inflation und unternehmensintern vom Verkauf von mehreren Liegenschaften geprägt. Aufgrund eines umsichtigen Bestandsmanagements konnten die Auswirkungen der aktuell schwierigen wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen auf die von der S IMMO AG gehaltenen Liegenschaften eingedämmt werden.
Die Umsatzerlöse im Geschäftsjahr lagen mit TEUR 24.927 unter dem Vorjahr (2023: TEUR 29.196), was im Wesentlichen auf gesunkene Mieterlöse aufgrund der Veräußerung von sechs Liegenschaften zurückzuführen ist.
Die sonstigen betrieblichen Erträge des Geschäftsjahres 2024 sind vor allem durch den Verkauf von sechs Liegenschaften geprägt, welche sich mit einem Nettobeitrag von rd. TEUR 38.309 in den sonstigen betrieblichen Erträgen niederschlug.
Parallel zu den Umsatzerlösen sanken die Aufwendungen für bezogene Leistungen auf TEUR 5.216 (2023: TEUR 8.180); die Personalaufwendungen sind aufgrund von Einmaleffekten wieder etwas gestiegen (2024: TEUR 12.761, 2023: TEUR 11.730).
Die sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen betrugen TEUR 9.557 (2023: TEUR 9.158) und lagen damit etwas über dem Niveau des Vorjahres. Insgesamt ergab sich damit ein Betriebsergebnis von TEUR 31.638 (2023: TEUR 41.126).
Das Finanzergebnis war weiterhin geprägt von sehr hohen Beteiligungserträgen (2024: TEUR 317.762, 2023: TEUR 234.818), einer Verminderung der Position "sonstige Zinsen und ähnliche Erträge" (2024: TEUR 14.413, 2023: TEUR 19.800), welche v. a. aus reduzierten Zinserträgen aus Zinsderivaten resultierte, einem Ergebnisbeitrag aus der Veräußerung von Beteiligungen (2024: TEUR 4.836, 2023: TEUR 0) sowie aus einer geringfügigen Veränderung der Position "Zinsen und ähnliche Aufwendungen" (2024: TEUR -42.049, 2023: TEUR -41.383). Das Finanzergebnis war insgesamt äußerst positiv und belief sich auf TEUR 294.962 (2023: TEUR 213.235).
Insgesamt ergab sich für das Geschäftsjahr ein Jahresüberschuss inklusive Auflösung der Gewinnrücklagen von TEUR 352.766 (2023: TEUR 249.691).
Sowohl die Bilanzsumme (31.12.2024: EUR 1.979.647.791,49, 31.12.2023: TEUR 2.051.918) als auch die Position "Kassenbestand, Guthaben bei Kreditinstituten" (31.12.2024: TEUR 137.367; 31.12.2023: TEUR 381.910) der Gesellschaft haben sich im Geschäftsjahr reduziert. Insgesamt wurden sechs Liegenschaften verkauft. Im Dezember erfolgte eine Ausschüttung von TEUR 140.584.
Das Eigenkapital belief sich zum 31.12.2024 auf TEUR 981.851 (31.12.2023: TEUR 800.229). Die Eigenkapitalquote lag zum Stichtag 31.12.2024 mit rund 49,3 % (31.12.2023: 39,0 %) über dem Vorjahresniveau.
Die Verbindlichkeiten aus Anleihen reduzierten sich von TEUR 620.597 auf TEUR 520.597, die Verbindlichkeiten gegenüber Kreditinstituten haben sich von TEUR 118.004 per 31.12.2023 auf TEUR 79.761 verringert.
Mehrere makroökonomische und geopolitische Turbulenzen hatten in den vergangenen Jahren merkliche Auswirkungen auf die Rentabilitäten und Marktwerte der verschiedenen Assetklassen. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat die S IMMO ihre Strategie seit 2022 laufend Anpassungen unterzogen. Im Mittelpunkt stand zunächst der Verkauf deutscher Wohnobjekte mit niedriger Rendite, welcher 2023 schrittweise auf alle Immobilien in Deutschland ausgeweitet wurde. In der Zwischenzeit wurde das deutsche Portfolio fast gänzlich veräußert, das Closing der letzten Transaktionen wird für das erste Halbjahr 2025 erwartet und der Rückzug aus dem deutschen Markt soll im Laufe der Jahre 2025/26 erfolgen. Darüber hinaus wurden erfolgreich Immobilien in Kroatien, Tschechien, Österreich und Ungarn veräußert. Die Closings fanden teilweise im Jänner 2025 statt. Die aus den Verkäufen gewonnenen liquiden Mittel schaffen die Basis für zukünftiges Wachstum und Erträge.
Für das laufende Geschäftsjahr stehen weitere Transaktionen im Fokus – vor allem soll das Verkaufsprogramm in Österreich abhängig von den Marktbedingungen fortgesetzt werden. So wurden im Jänner 2025 weitere zwei Immobilien in Wien veräußert.
Neben den Transaktionen bleibt auch in den kommenden Monaten die kontinuierliche Intensivierung der Zusammenarbeit innerhalb der CPI Property Group im Fokus. Alleinige Aktionärin der S IMMO ist seit dem erfolgreichen Squeeze Out im Dezember 2024 die CPI Europe (vormals IMMOFINANZ). Aufgaben des Asset Managements wurden bereits im Jahr 2024 von der CPI Property Group übernommen, auch in anderen operativen Bereichen werden zunehmend Synergien realisiert und Abteilungen zusammengeführt. In diesem Zusammenhang wurden auch Mitarbeiter:innen der S IMMO AG in andere Organisationseinheiten der Gruppe überführt. Weitere Zusammenführungen und Optimierungen in der Gruppenstruktur sind für das Geschäftsjahr 2025 geplant.
Darüber hinaus wurde bereits im Jahr 2023 die ESG-Strategie für die ganze CPI Property Group angepasst. Gruppenweit wird kontinuierlich an der Vereinheitlichung der Berichterstattung nach CSRD und an der Steigerung der Anzahl taxonomiekonformer Immobilien gearbeitet..
Als Konzernmuttergesellschaft eines international tätigen Immobilienkonzern ist die S IMMO Gruppe mit einer Vielzahl von Chancen und Risiken konfrontiert, die auf die operative Geschäftstätigkeit, die Entscheidungsprozesse sowie auf die strategische Unternehmensführung Einfluss haben. Durch die Identifizierung, Analyse, Steuerung und Überwachung der Chancen und Risiken versucht die Gruppe, sowohl Potenziale zeitnah zu erkennen als auch negative Entwicklungen und potenzielle Risikofaktoren rechtzeitig zu identifizieren, deren Ursache zu verstehen und diese so weit als möglich zu minimieren. Dennoch kann das Eintreten von Risiken nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Die S IMMO beschäftigt sich mit langfristigen Immobilien-Investitionen in Form von An- und Verkauf von Immobilien, Projektentwicklung, Vermietung, Asset Management, Revitalisierung und Sanierung von Gebäuden und dem Betrieb von Hotels und Einkaufszentren. Die Immobilien befinden sich in den Hauptstädten und größeren Städten in Österreich, Ungarn, Tschechien sowie in weiteren CEE-Ländern. Im Portfolio befinden sich vorwiegend Büros, aber auch Einkaufszentren und Hotels. Zuletzt beschäftigte sich die S IMMO mit dem Verkauf von deutschen Immobilien mit niedriger Rendite sowie der Veräußerung von kleinen und mittelgroßen Büroobjekten mit begrenztem Entwicklungspotenzial – vorrangig in Kroatien, Tschechien und Österreich. Die daraus gewonnenen liquiden Mittel schaffen die Basis für zukünftiges Wachstum und Erträge.
Die S IMMO betreibt Risikoidentifikation, Risikosteuerung, Risikobewertung und Risikobewältigung auf Basis eines Standardrisikokatalogs in enger Abstimmung mit Risikoeigner:innen in allen Segmenten und auf Holdingebene. Auf dieser Basis erfolgt eine gruppenweit idente, formalisierte und in eine quantitativ einheitliche Bewertungslogik verschränkte Dokumentation der Entscheidungen hinsichtlich des Risikoappetits für jede einzelne Position des Standardrisikokatalogs, wobei über eine Aggregationsfunktion die Risikopositionen der Gesellschaft je Segment und auf Holdingebene dargestellt werden. Die Basis der Risikoidentifikation liegt bei den jeweiligen Risikoeigner:innen und stellt so eine umfassende Bottom-up-Information des Vorstands sicher. Auf Konzernebene wird das zentrale Risikomanagement von einem Risikomanager gesteuert. Die Person fungiert auch als Risikokoordinator und berichtet regelmäßig an den Gesamtvorstand.
Das Risikomanagement der S IMMO umfasst neben internen Richtlinien und Regelungen laufende Berichte im Rahmen von regelmäßigen Jours fixes an den Gesamtvorstand. Weiters existieren Kontrollmaßnahmen, die in der Gruppe implementiert sind und der Früherkennung, Steuerung sowie Überwachung von Risiken dienen. Der Vorstand trifft die wesentlichen risikorelevanten Entscheidungen. Investitions- und Deinvestitionsvorhaben unterliegen ab einer bestimmten Wertgrenze zusätzlich der Genehmigung durch den Aufsichtsrat. Der Aufsichtsrat wird über die aktuelle Risikoeinschätzung, mögliche Risiken sowie über das Interne Kontrollsystem regelmäßig im Zuge der mindestens zweimal jährlich stattfindenden Prüfungsausschusssitzungen informiert.
Die in diesem Abschnitt dargestellten Risikogruppen wurden und werden sowohl rückblickend für das Geschäftsjahr 2024 als auch im Hinblick auf die Geschäftstätigkeit 2025 regelmäßig analysiert und bewertet.
Das Geschäftsjahr 2024 war nach wie vor von einer Reihe an geopolitischen und gesamtwirtschaftlichen Ereignissen geprägt. Die Weltwirtschaft hat auf Grund sinkender Energiepreise Anzeichen einer ersten Beruhigung gezeigt, der Arbeitsmarkt hat sich in den wesentlichen Wirtschaftsnationen stabilisiert, dennoch bleibt der Aufschwung schwach und die Prognosen für 2025 sind verhalten. Die Konsumnachfrage ist auf Grund der wirtschaftlichen als auch politischen Rahmenbedingungen in weiten Teilen der europäischen Union verhalten, und hemmt damit den Aufschwung, der ein Ende der rezessiven Wirtschaftsentwicklung bedeuten würde. Eine Vielzahl an Neuwahlen in wichtigen europäischen Ländern mit immer schwierigeren Regierungsbildungen – Frankreich, Deutschland aber auch Österreich – reduzieren die Planbarkeit für Investitionen in die Wirtschaft, die aber für eine dynamischere Wirtschaftsentwicklung essenziell wären. Die mittlerweile wieder gesunkene Inflation und die infolgedessen gelockerte Geldpolitik mit schon erfolgten und weiteren für 2025 erwarteten Zinssenkungen der Zentralbanken könnten entscheidende Impulse für das globale Wirtschaftsgeschehen liefern. Dennoch könnten Verunsicherungen wie die vom neuen US-Präsidenten angekündigten Strafzölle oder eine Abkehr von umweltschutzindizierten Maßnahmen zu Standortnachteilen im europäischen Wirtschaftsraum führen.
Für das Geschäftsjahr 2025 sind die Erwartungen bezüglich Wirtschaftswachstum im Euroraum verhalten. Zu schwer wirken Unsicherheiten in Bezug auf die weitere wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in Deutschland. Wesentlich wird sein, darüber Klarheit zu bekommen, welche Agenda die nächste deutsche Bundesregierung in Bezug auf Strukturprobleme, Energiesicherheit und Leistbarkeit aber auch Sozialthemen in Harmonie mit Vorgaben der europäischen Union und dem verordneten "Green Deal" fahren wird. Das aktuelle und während des Jahres 2025 wieder günstiger werdende Finanzierungsumfeld sollte Immobilienentwicklungen und Immobilieninvestitionen von privater – aber auch institutioneller Seite – wieder begünstigen, und hier für ein Aufatmen sorgen können.
Viele der genannten Unsicherheiten liegen außerhalb des Einflussbereichs des Unternehmens und machen eine zuverlässige mittel- bis langfristige Planung sehr schwierig. Die S IMMO besitzt jedoch ein im Rahmen einer konservativen und konsequenten Investitionspolitik aufgebautes Immobilienportfolio in sehr guten Lagen. Das Management geht grundsätzlich davon aus, mit seiner Strategie die kommenden Herausforderungen gut bewältigen und potenzielle Chancen ergreifen zu können.
Für alle wesentlichen Geschäftsprozesse besteht ein Internes Kontrollsystem (IKS). Dabei wird unter anderem die Zuverlässigkeit der Finanzberichterstattung überwacht und kontrolliert. Das IKS bildet gemeinsam mit der Internen Revision und der (börsenrechtlichen) Compliance das interne Überwachungssystem der S IMMO Gruppe. Wesentliche Kernprozesse – insbesondere auch jene der Konzernrechnungslegung − sind in der internen Prozessdatenbank erfasst. Diese beinhaltet eine Risiko-Kontroll-Matrix, in der die Abläufe, potenzielle Einzelrisiken und die zugeordneten Kontrollschritte definiert sind.
Wesentliche Merkmale des rechnungslegungsbezogenen IKS sind:
Im Rahmen der Konzernabschlusserstellung bedient sich das Konzernrechnungswesen einer validierten Konsolidierungssoftware.
Die Interne Revision der S IMMO AG koordiniert Prüfungen wesentlicher Geschäftsprozesse der Konzern-Muttergesellschaft bzw. ihrer in- und ausländischen Tochtergesellschaften hinsichtlich derer Funktionsfähigkeit, bestehender Risiken und Kontrollschwächen sowie möglicher Effizienzverbesserungspotenziale. Die Grundlage für die in mehrjährigen Zyklen stattfindenden Revisionsprüfungen bildet der vom Vorstand und Aufsichtsrat genehmigte Jahresrevisionsplan. Zusätzlich werden im Bedarfsfall Sonderprüfungen beauftragt. Mit der Durchführung der Revisionsprüfungen werden externe Expert:innen beauftragt. Die Ergebnisse der Prüfungen werden an den Vorstand sowie den Prüfungsausschuss des Aufsichtsrats berichtet.

Die Entwicklung einer Branche ist stark von äußeren Faktoren wie Konjunktur, technologischen oder politisch-rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen abhängig. Da sich das wirtschaftliche Umfeld laufend ändert, sind die sich daraus ergebenden Risiken nur schwer prognostizierbar. Eine Verschlechterung der wirtschaftlichen Situation in einem Markt kann die Kauf- und Verkaufspreise, den Wert einer Immobilie und deren Rendite beeinflussen. Darüber hinaus kann es zu Mietreduktionen, Mietausfällen, zur Kündigung von Mietverträgen durch Mieter:innen oder Verringerung des Flächenbedarfs durch hybride Arbeitskonzepte kommen. Sorgfältiges Asset Management und ständiges Monitoring tragen zur Reduktion der beschriebenen Risiken bei.
Ein gesamtwirtschaftlicher Überblick sowie eine Einschätzung der Entwicklung der für die S IMMO relevanten Immobilienmärkte sind im Wirtschaftsbericht dargestellt. Obwohl die Zinsbelastungen bei Kreditfinanzierungen durch mehrere Zinssenkungsschritte der EZB bereits geringer wurden, kann man für die nächste Zeit nicht mit Idealbedingungen rechnen. Die Immobilienmärkte werden in den kommenden Monaten noch von spürbaren Finanzierungskosten, einer vorsichtigen, risikoaversen Kreditvergabepolitik und den unverändert hohen Baukosten beeinflusst werden. Diesen Risiken begegnet die S IMMO mit einem krisenerprobten Geschäftsmodell und einem hochwertigen Immobilienportfolio in ausgezeichneten Lagen.
Strategische Risiken sind eng mit der Geschäftsstrategie der S IMMO verbunden und können diese gegebenenfalls stark beeinflussen. Zu den strategischen Risiken zählen beispielsweise das Planungsrisiko, also das Risiko, das sich aus der Inkonsistenz zwischen den strategischen Zielen, der Geschäftsstrategie, den zur Verfügung stehenden Ressourcen und der jeweiligen Marktsituation ergibt.
Die S IMMO ist sowohl bei Investitionen in Immobilienentwicklungsprojekte als auch bei Immobilienzukäufen Risiken ausgesetzt. Diese werden oft durch Faktoren verursacht, die außerhalb des Wirkungsbereichs der Gruppe liegen, wie beispielsweise Verzögerungen bei der Fertigstellung von Immobilienprojekten oder die nachträgliche Verschlechterung der lokalen wirtschaftlichen Lage. Daher zielt die Unternehmensstrategie darauf ab, durch sorgsame Auswahl, Planung und Ausführung der Immobilienprojekte bzw. der Immobilienzukäufe potenzielle Investitionsrisiken zu reduzieren. Es sind Limits festgelegt, ab welchem Investitionsvolumen eine Genehmigung durch den Aufsichtsrat erforderlich ist. Dennoch verbleibt bei jeder Investition immer ein Restinvestitionsrisiko, das sich beispielsweise auf Cashflows und Bewertungen negativ auswirken kann.
Auf Grund der makroökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen können im Ankaufsprozess vereinbarte Transaktionswerte nach Abschluss der Transaktion in den nachfolgenden Bewertungen unter Druck kommen und die Wirtschaftlichkeit des geplanten Ankaufs reduzieren bzw. sich in weiterer Folge auch negativ auf den Transaktionswert im Zuge eines etwaigen Verkaufs auswirken.
Die S IMMO ist mit Anleihen an der Wiener Börse notiert und die Finanzierung am Kapitalmarkt von entsprechender Bedeutung. Ereignisse und Sachverhalte wie instabile Kapitalmärkte, Unsicherheiten auf Grund von politischen Geschehnissen wie dem Krieg in der Ukraine oder dem Nahostkonflikt, Anstiege von Finanzierungszinsen oder ein schwieriges wirtschaftliches Umfeld etc. können die Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten der Gruppe beeinträchtigen. Durch transparente und verlässliche Informationen soll den Anleger:innen eine fundierte Entscheidungsgrundlage geboten und das Vertrauen des Kapitalmarkts in die von der S IMMO emittierten Wertpapiere gestärkt werden. Als Anleiheemittentin hat die S IMMO AG aktuell ein Volumen von EUR 520,6 Mio. an Anleihen mit der längsten Restlaufzeit bis 2030 platziert. Für die Anleger:innen in diese Wertpapiere ist elementar wichtig, dass die S IMMO AG ihren Pflichten zum Zins- und Tilgungsdienst nachkommt. Die Zeichnungen von S IMMO Unternehmensanleihen waren immer sehr erfolgreich, weil die S IMMO AG eine exzellente Kapitalmarktreputation aufweisen kann.
Die S IMMO unterliegt allen Risiken, die mit dem Kauf, der Entwicklung, der Bewirtschaftung und dem Verkauf von Immobilien zusammenhängen.
Die S IMMO besitzt ein ertrags- und cashflowstarkes Immobilienportfolio, das sich zu 100 % in der Europäischen Union befindet. Das Portfolio setzt sich vorwiegend aus Büros, aber auch Einkaufszentren sowie Hotels zusammen. Der Wert einer Immobilie hängt zu einem beträchtlichen Teil von ihrem Standort, der beabsichtigten Nutzung sowie dem technischen Standard ab. Die Attraktivität des Standorts, die mögliche Nutzung der Objekte sowie die ESG-Konformität der Objekte können daher die finanzielle Lage der S IMMO erheblich beeinflussen. Die langfristige Wertschöpfung, die im Geschäftsmodell der S IMMO verankert ist, hat sich auch in Krisenzeiten als sehr robust erwiesen.
Das Vermietungsrisiko ist stark mit der allgemeinen wirtschaftlichen Lage in den verschiedenen Märkten verknüpft und damit auch mit entsprechenden Planungsunsicherheiten behaftet. Grundsätzlich besteht immer ein gewisses Vermietungsrisiko auf Grund der unterschiedlichen politischen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung der einzelnen Märkte – auch bei Vertragsverlängerungen. Die Konkurrenzsituation kann sich ebenfalls auf den Vermietungsgrad bzw. auf Vertragsverlängerungen auswirken. Der Wettbewerb zwischen den Eigentümer:innen um namhafte, attraktive Mieter:innen besteht immer. Je nach wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung in den unterschiedlichen Märkten, in denen die S IMMO tätig ist, können die Mieten unter Druck kommen. Dies kann dazu führen, dass Mietpreise akzeptiert werden müssen, die niedriger sind als ursprünglich prognostiziert. Außerdem unterliegt die S IMMO dem Mietausfallrisiko. Ist die Gruppe nicht in der Lage, auslaufende Mietverträge zu vorteilhaften Konditionen zu verlängern oder geeignete kreditwürdige Mieter:innen zu finden, die bereit sind, längerfristige Mietverhältnisse einzugehen, beeinträchtigt dies den Marktwert der betreffenden Immobilien. Darüber hinaus kann es zu langen Leerständen kommen. Besonders in Zeiten wirtschaftlicher und politischer Unsicherheiten kann die S IMMO dazu gezwungen sein, Mietsenkungen zu akzeptieren, um den Vermietungsgrad aufrechtzuerhalten. Die Bonität von Mieter:innen, insbesondere während eines wirtschaftlichen Abschwungs, kann kurz- oder mittelfristig sinken. Darüber hinaus kann das Risiko entstehen, dass Mieter:innen insolvent werden oder sonst außerstande sind, ihren Zahlungspflichten aus dem Mietvertrag nachzukommen.
Trends wie New Work (Vier-Tage-Woche, hybride Arbeitsmodelle, Open-Space-Büros) haben in den letzten Quartalen das Arbeitsumfeld in Büros verändert, was in weiterer Folge zu einem Sinken des Büroflächenbedarfs bei Mieter:innen führen kann. Generell kann es in Zeiten wirtschaftlichen Abschwungs und steigender Mietbelastungen für Mieter:innen auf Grund von Inflation – auch unabhängig von neuen Arbeitsmodellen – zum Wunsch nach Flächen- oder Mietreduktionen kommen. Auch können sich dadurch Umzüge und Neuanmietungen reduzieren, da abgewartet wird, bis sich die wirtschaftliche Lage wieder entspannt. Durch aktives Asset Management und einen laufenden Austausch mit ihren Mieter:innen versucht die S IMMO, diesen Tendenzen entgegenzuwirken.
Im Bereich von Immobilienentwicklungen können Risiken im Zusammenhang mit Verzögerungen bei der Erlangung von behördlichen Genehmigungen, Errichtungsdauer, Baukostenüberschreitungen, (Bau-)Qualitätsmängeln oder der Vermietung entstehen. Diesen Risiken begegnet die S IMMO mit regelmäßigen Qualitäts-, Kosten- und Terminkontrollen sowie Abweichungsanalysen.
Bedingt durch die Baukostensteigerungen und höhere Zinsen in der näheren Vergangenheit kommt es aktuell zu Verzögerungen und Verschiebungen von Baustarts. Ebenfalls kann sich die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Projektrechnungen verschlechtern. Durch die konservative Entwicklungsstrategie der S IMMO und das damit verbundene Abwarten bis zur Entspannung der Baupreise und der Reduktion der Finanzierungskosten ist die S IMMO in diesem Bereich geringen Risiken ausgesetzt, da aktuell nur ein Entwicklungsprojekt in der Tschechischen Republik umgesetzt wird.
Unter dem bautechnischen Risiko versteht man einerseits das Risiko auftretender Schäden an neu errichteten Objekten und Bestandsobjekten, welches die S IMMO durch branchenübliche Bauverträge mit erfahrenen Baufirmen, Gewährleistungsfristen und -garantien reduziert. Um Risiken in diesem Bereich in Grenzen zu halten, werden eingehende Prüfungen vor Ablauf der Gewährleistungsfristen veranlasst, um mögliche Schäden noch auf Kosten der Bauunternehmen zu beheben. Zur Absicherung gegen klassische Schäden bei Bestandsgebäuden wie Feuer oder Wasser schließt die S IMMO marktübliche Versicherungen ab. Gleichzeitig steigen Reparaturaufwendungen mit dem Lebensalter der Bestandsgebäude, wesentliche Anlagen müssen nach Ablauf der Nutzungsdauer getauscht werden. Durch aktives Asset Management und laufende Wartungen sowie sinnvolle Instandhaltungs- und Instandsetzungsmaßnahmen ist die S IMMO stets bestrebt, gröbere negative Auswirkungen zu vermeiden.
Die Immobilienbewertung hängt von verschiedenen makroökonomischen Gegebenheiten – außerhalb des Einflussbereichs der Gruppe – und immobilienspezifischen Faktoren ab. Das Immobilienbewertungsrisiko beschreibt in diesem Zusammenhang das Risiko von negativen Wertschwankungen des Immobilienportfolios. Neben den erwarteten Mieteinnahmen, dem technischen Zustand des Objekts und dem Vermietungsgrad berücksichtigen Immobiliensachverständige auch andere Faktoren wie beispielsweise Steuern auf Grund und Boden, nicht umlegbare Betriebskosten, Ansprüche Dritter auf Basis von Umweltrisiken oder mit bestimmten Baumaterialien verbundene Risiken. Jede Wertänderung einer Immobilie kann den Bilanzgewinn oder -verlust und in weiterer Folge das Eigenkapital und somit auch den Börsenkurs und die Kreditwürdigkeit der Gruppe beeinflussen. Die Gruppe bilanziert die als Finanzinvestition gehaltenen Immobilien zum Verkehrswert, wobei die Immobilien üblicherweise ein- bis zweimal im Jahr von externen Gutachter:innen bewertet werden. Im aktuellen wirtschaftlichen Umfeld beeinflussen die inflationsbedingt gestiegenen Kosten und die gestiegenen Zinsen die Immobilienbewertungsergebnisse negativ.
Die Steuerung von finanziellen Risiken beinhaltet für die S IMMO Gruppe vor allem die Berücksichtigung von Liquiditäts-, Zinsänderungs-, Finanzierungs-, Kredit- und Währungsrisiken.
Zur Sicherstellung der Liquidität werden die Zahlungsströme der S IMMO Gruppe laufend unter Einbeziehung der Fachabteilungen evaluiert, um frühzeitig liquiditätssichernde/-stärkende Maßnahmen ergreifen zu können. Die Gruppe verfügt über fluktuierende Bestände liquider Mittel, die sie nach den jeweiligen operativen und strategischen Erfordernissen und Zielen veranlagt. Weiters tätigt sie Absicherungsgeschäfte, insbesondere um sich gegen Zinsänderungen und die damit verbundenen Schwankungen ihrer Finanzierungskosten abzusichern. Solche Absicherungsgeschäfte könnten sich als ineffizient oder ungeeignet herausstellen, um die angestrebten Ziele zu erreichen, sowie zu ergebniswirksamen Verlusten führen. Darüber hinaus ist die Gruppe dem Risiko ausgesetzt, dass ihre Vertragspartner:innen die Verpflichtungen aus den Absicherungs- oder Veranlagungsgeschäften nicht vereinbarungsgemäß erfüllen (Kontrahentenrisiko). Diesem Risiko begegnet die S IMMO Gruppe, indem sie Veranlagungs- und Absicherungsgeschäfte nur bei namhaften Banken mit guter Bonität abschließt. Im Falle einer Verschärfung der Eigenkapital- und Liquiditätsvorschriften für Banken und daraus resultierender restriktiverer Kreditvergabe sowie reduzierter Beleihungshöhen kann es zu Schwierigkeiten bei Refinanzierungen kommen. Die S IMMO kann davon trotz überwiegend langfristig abgeschlossener Kreditverträge hauptsächlich bei Kreditverlängerungen und Refinanzierungen betroffen sein (siehe auch Finanzierungsrisiko). Das Risiko kann primär auftreten, wenn es bei Kreditverlängerungen oder Refinanzierungen zu Verzögerungen kommt, oder diese in einer geringeren Höhe als erwartet erfolgen. Würde es der S IMMO nicht oder nicht zeitgerecht gelingen, geeignete und angemessene Fremdkapitalfinanzierungen für Projektentwicklungen und Akquisitionen oder die Refinanzierung auslaufender Fremdkapitalfinanzierungen in Anspruch zu nehmen, könnte dies die Fähigkeit, ihren Verpflichtungen aus Projektentwicklungsverträgen oder Akquisitionsprojekten nachzukommen, erheblich beeinträchtigen. Weiters besteht das Risiko, Anleihen nicht zurückzahlen zu können. Eine aus mangelnder Verfügbarkeit freier Liquidität resultierende Unfähigkeit, den Verpflichtungen aus bereits bestehenden Finanzierungsverträgen und Teilschuldverschreibungen nachzukommen, kann einen wesentlich nachteiligen Einfluss auf die Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Gruppe haben und die Bonität dieser beeinträchtigen.
Der weitaus überwiegende Teil der Finanzierungsverträge der S IMMO Gruppe sieht einen variablen Zinssatz basierend auf dem Drei-Monats-EURIBOR als Referenz-Zinssatz vor, wodurch das Risiko eines sich ändernden Zinsniveaus besteht. Die Kosten des Zinsendiensts erhöhen sich bei Anstieg des jeweiligen Referenz-Zinssatzes. Zwischen Mai 2023 und November 2024 fiel die Inflation im Euroraum bereits von 6,1 % auf 2,2 %. Dies ermöglichte vier Leitzinssenkungen im Jahr 2024 von 4,5 % auf 3,15 % (Stand Dezember 2024). Für das Jahr 2025 wird mit weiteren Zinssenkungen seitens der EZB gerechnet. Das Zinsänderungsrisiko reduziert die S IMMO Gruppe langfristig durch Zinsabsicherungen ihrer variabel verzinsten Kredite. Per 31.12.2024 waren 99,9 % (31.12.2023: 93 %) der Kreditverbindlichkeiten – ausschließlich an den Drei-Monats-EURIBOR gebunden – variabel verzinst. Zur Absicherung variabel verzinster Kredite verwendet die S IMMO prinzipiell folgende derivative Finanzinstrumente: Swaps und Caps. Per 31.12.2024 war das variabel verzinste Finanzierungsportfolio zu 100 % abgesichert. Die Gruppe verfolgt grundsätzlich das Ziel, Risiken weitgehend abzusichern. Die durchgeführten Sensitivitätsanalysen, welche die bestehenden Anleihen inkludieren zeigen, dass das Risiko eines steigenden Zinsaufwands, der auf Zinssatzänderungen zurückzuführen ist, für die S IMMO Gruppe als gering zu beurteilen ist.
Es ist zu beobachten, dass Banken infolge der Taxonomie-Verordnung der Erfüllung von ESG-Kriterien des Finanzierungsobjekts bei der Prüfung von Finanzierungsanfragen mehr Bedeutung zumessen. Die Attraktivität verschiedener Finanzierungsvarianten hängt von einer Reihe von Faktoren ab, von denen einige nicht von der Gruppe beeinflusst werden können. Diese Faktoren umfassen insbesondere Marktzinsen, steuerliche Aspekte und die Beurteilung des Werts und der Verwertbarkeit von Immobilien, die als Sicherheiten dienen, sowie die Einschätzung der allgemeinen wirtschaftlichen Lage und der zukünftigen konjunkturellen Entwicklung durch die Finanzierungspartner:innen. In Zeiten stark volatiler Immobilienmärkte sind Fremdkapitalgläubiger:innen unter Umständen nicht bereit, abreifende Kredite zu für die S IMMO Gruppe akzeptablen Konditionen zu prolongieren. Dies kann insbesondere zu höheren Margen, geringeren Beleihungshöhen und der Notwendigkeit zur Bestellung weiterer Sicherheiten sowie generell zu einem Mangel an Refinanzierungsmöglichkeiten führen. Sollte die Gruppe außerstande sein, Liquidität oder Fremdmittel im benötigten Ausmaß zur benötigten Zeit zu generieren bzw. zu akzeptablen Konditionen aufzunehmen, könnte ihre Fähigkeit beeinträchtigt sein, ihren Verpflichtungen aus Finanzierungsverträgen nachzukommen. Dieses Finanzierungsrisiko versucht die S IMMO Gruppe durch Streuung ihrer Kreditgeber:innen (zum Bilanzstichtag per 31.12.2024 waren es 13 Einzelbanken) zu reduzieren. Eine Kontrolle der Kreditaufnahmen erfolgt durch Genehmigungen nach gestaffelten Beträgen durch den Vorstand und den Aufsichtsrat. Per 31.12.2024 hatten die Bankverbindlichkeiten eine durchschnittliche Laufzeit von etwa 4,4 Jahren. Die Fristigkeit der Finanzierungen entsprechen der branchenüblichen Praxis. Darüber hinaus besteht das Risiko, dass Financial Covenants (Klauseln in Kreditverträgen hinsichtlich des zulässigen Verschuldungsgrads und des Schuldendienstdeckungsgrads) oder andere Vertragsbedingungen, Gewährleistungen oder Auflagen in Finanzierungsverträgen nicht eingehalten werden können. Dies kann die Flexibilität bei der Finanzierung zukünftiger Geschäftstätigkeit einschränken. Die Einhaltung von
Financial Covenants wird von der S IMMO Gruppe – in engem Kontakt mit kreditvergebenden Finanzinstituten – laufend überwacht und an diese berichtet. Covenant-Verletzungen können einen Verzugsfall darstellen. Die Gruppe legt großen Wert auf ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis zwischen Finanzierungen und Verkehrswerten der Immobilien (Loan-to-Value-Ratio). Zum Stichtag 31.12.2024 lag die Loan-to-Value-Ratio für besicherte Finanzierungen bei 41,8 % (31.12.2023: 44,0 %). Darüber hinaus verfügt die Gruppe über unbesicherte Finanzierungen (ausgenutzte Kreditlinien und Anleiheverbindlichkeiten). Die Loanto-Value-Ratio für unbesicherte Finanzierungen betrug 8,14 % (31.12.2023: 5,0 %) des Immobilienvermögens Trotz genauen Monitorings der Finanzierungsinstrumente und der relevanten Parameter kann bei entsprechend negativer Entwicklung der Konjunktur und des Finanzierungsumfelds nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass die S IMMO mit Risiken im Bereich der Refinanzierung konfrontiert wird.
Als Kreditrisiko wird unter anderem die Gefahr verstanden, dass Vertragspartner:innen ausfallen oder ihre Verpflichtung nicht mehr rechtzeitig oder zur Gänze erfüllen können (Gegenparteiausfallrisiko). Treten Kreditrisiken ein, können daraus für die Gesellschaft finanzielle Schäden entstehen. Diesem Risiko wirkt die Gesellschaft zum einen mit einer sorgfältigen Auswahl der Vertragspartner:innen und zum anderen mit Garantien und einer entsprechenden Vertragsgestaltung in Form von Strafzahlungen oder anderen Entschädigungen entgegen. Kann eine Forderung teilweise oder gänzlich nicht eingebracht werden, wird sie abgeschrieben bzw. wertberichtigt. Zusätzlich kann zum Kreditrisiko noch das Länderrisiko gezählt werden. Darunter versteht man spezielle Verlustrisiken, die sich aus unsicheren politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Verhältnissen eines anderen Staats ergibt. In Folge können sich ebenfalls Schwierigkeiten bei der Eintreibung von Forderungen gegenüber ausländischen Vertragspartner:innen ergeben. Dieses Risiko minimiert die S IMMO, indem sie nur in EU-Ländern mit stabiler Rechtslage tätig ist.
Kreditfinanzierungen der S IMMO Gruppe sind fast ausschließlich in Euro denominiert und die Mietverträge sind überwiegend an den Euro gebunden. Daher ist das unmittelbare cashwirksame Fremdwährungsrisiko als gering anzusehen. Mittelbar könnte sich ein verändertes Umfeld in einer anderen Währung auf die Kaufkraft der Kund:innen vor Ort auswirken, was mittelfristig eine Auswirkung auf die Immobilienbewertungen hätte. Buchhalterisch könnten auch kurzfristige, nicht cashwirksame Fremdwährungseffekte in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung schlagend werden.
Die Steuerung von ESG-Risiken umfasst für die S IMMO unterschiedliche Risiken der ESG-Kriterien Umwelt, Soziales und Governance. Rechtliche und regulatorische Vorgaben wie beispielsweise das Nachhaltigkeits- und Diversitätsverbesserungsgesetz (NaDiVeG) und die EU-Taxonomie-Verordnung erfordern dabei eine Auseinandersetzung mit konkreten Nachhaltigkeitsrisiken unter anderem in den Bereichen Klimawandel, Arbeitnehmer:innen, Achtung der Menschenrechte und Bekämpfung von Korruption und Bestechung. Im folgenden Teil des Risikomanagementberichts werden wesentliche Risiken im Zusammenhang mit den im konsolidierten nichtfinanziellen Bericht genannten Themen sowie Maßnahmen zur Identifikation, Bewertung, Vermeidung und Begrenzung dieser Risiken beschrieben.
Die S IMMO ist diversen Umwelt- und Klimarisiken ausgesetzt, welche sowohl im Betrieb als auch bei der Immobilienentwicklung auftreten können. Diese Risiken können auf Grund von geografischen Gegebenheiten, aber auch insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit dem voranschreitenden Klimawandel entstehen. Diese Klimarisiken sind in physische und transitorische Risiken zu unterscheiden. Speziell die in diesem Abschnitt angeführten Angaben zum Klimarisikomanagement der S IMMO erfolgen vor dem Hintergrund der Anforderungen der EU-Taxonomie sowie in Anlehnung an die Empfehlungen der Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Die strategische Überwachung der Umweltrisiken – einschließlich der Klimarisiken – und die Verfolgung möglicher Chancen obliegen dem Vorstand sowie dem ESG-Ausschuss des Aufsichtsrats. Die operative Identifikation, Bewertung und Steuerung der Risiken ist Aufgabe der konzernübergreifenden Funktion Risk Management.
Zu den nicht durch den Klimawandel beeinflussten, wesentichen Risiken gehören mögliche nukleare Zwischen- und Störfälle im geografischen Einzugskreis der eigenen Tätigkeit sowie die Erdbebengefahr – insbesondere in Rumänien. Die Berücksichtigung der Erdbebengefährdung fließt daher in Entscheidungen bei der Planung und statischen Berechnung der Entwicklungsprojekte, der Ankaufsobjekte sowie beim Abschluss adäquater Gebäude- und Spezialversicherungen mit ein. Reparaturen an Gebäuden, die auf Grund von Erdbebenschäden notwendig werden können, werden zudem von Versicherungen gedeckt. Davon abgesehen kann es zu Beeinträchtigungen kritischer Infrastruktur kommen, insbesondere in Form von Ausfällen, Engpässen oder Verunreinigungen der Energieund Wasserversorgung von Immobilien und Entwicklungsprojekten.
Bei Bautätigkeiten geht ein potenzielles Risiko von den verwendeten Materialien und im Speziellen von gefährlichen Baustoffen aus. In diesem Zusammenhang sind auch Gesetzesänderungen und Änderungen von umwelt- oder sicherheitsrechtlichen Vorschriften zu berücksichtigen, da diese die Entfernung bzw. den Austausch von Materialien erforderlich machen können. Um die Auswirkungen der Unternehmenstätigkeit auf die Umwelt zu reduzieren, werden Baustoffe im Zuge von Instandhaltungs- und Sanierungsmaßnahmen – wo möglich – durch umweltverträgliche Alternativen ersetzt. Zusätzlich ergeben sich auf Grund einer möglichen Kontamination durch schädliche Substanzen und Kriegsmaterial Risiken für Gebäude, Grundstücke und die Umwelt. In Bezug auf Bautätigkeiten können für Anrainer:innen Risiken aus der temporären Lärm- und Staubbelastung entstehen.
Um den Anforderungen der EU-Taxonomie hinsichtlich einer höchstauflösenden Klimarisiko- und Vulnerabilitätsbewertung im Einklang mit der hohen Lebensdauer von Immobilieninvestitionen gerecht zu werden, werden seit 2022 alle Gebäudeimmobilien der S IMMO mindestens alle zwei bis drei Jahre einer technologie- und wissenschaftsbasierten Klimarisikoanalyse durch einen externen Dienstleister unterzogen und die Ergebnisse in die konzerneigene Risikobewertung integriert. Dafür werden die einzelnen Objekte einer Szenarioanalyse, bezogen auf die repräsentativen Konzentrationspfade RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0 und RCP8.5 je nach Datenverfügbarkeit mit Zeithorizonten zwischen 2040 und 2100, für alle relevanten physischen Klimarisikokategorien unterzogen und die Risiken anhand eines Durchschnitts dieser Konzentrationspfade bewertet.
Im Bereich der akuten physischen Risiken werden Sturm, starke Niederschläge und Hochwasser als wesentlich eingestuft, da davon auszugehen ist, dass diese zunehmend häufiger und heftiger auftreten werden als in der Vergangenheit. Darüber hinaus bergen diese akuten Risiken ein direktes Gefahrenpotenzial für Immobilienschäden und die daraus resultierende zeitweise eingeschränkte Nutzbarkeit der Gebäude. Bei den dauerhaft wirkenden chronischen physischen Risiken werden primär Hitze- und Wasserstress als wesentlich eingestuft, wobei letzterer den Gebäudebetrieb in vielen Fällen nur bedingt beeinträchtigen würde. Hingegen und über alle physischen Klimarisiken hinweg ist besonders der Hitzestress als signifikant einzustufen. Auf Grund der geografischen Lage und einem gemäßigt kontinentalen Klima sind hiervon insbesondere die Immobilien am Standort Bukarest betroffen, wobei aktuell diesem Risiko vor allem mit einer entsprechenden Dimensionierung der Kälte- und Kühltechnik der Gebäude begegnet wird.
Des Weiteren ergeben sich durch den Umgang von Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft mit dem Klimawandel transitorische Klimarisiken für das Unternehmen. Eine drastischere Besteuerung von Treibhausgasemissionen sowie die einhergehende technologische Notwendigkeit von Investitionen in erneuerbare Energieerzeugung, Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz sowie Digitalisierung und Vernetzung der Gebäude werden zu signifikanten Kostentreibern, wobei auch das Risiko potenzieller Fehlinvestitionen in Technologien gegeben ist. Gleichzeitig können durch emissionsärmere technische Lösungen erhebliche MarkZum Inhaltsverzeichnis
trisiken aktiv gesenkt werden, primär der Wertverlust CO2-intensiver Gebäude, die schwierigere Vermietbarkeit CO2-intensiver Gebäude sowie erhöhte Kosten durch höhere Energie- und Rohstoffpreise. Zusätzlich spiegeln die zu bedienenden erweiterten Anforderungen an die Berichtslegung die Präferenzen von Aktionär:innen und Geldgeber:innen für Produkte und Geschäftsmodelle mit hoher ESG-Ausrichtung wider, weshalb die S IMMO fortlaufend Umfang, Verfügbarkeit und Transparenz ihrer ESG-Daten verbessert.
Klimarisiken wirken nicht nur durch den Klimawandel auf das Unternehmen, sondern im Sinne der doppelten Wesentlichkeit besteht umgekehrt auch das Risiko, dass das Unternehmen den Treibhauseffekt und somit den Klimawandel weiter vorantreibt. Die Errichtung und der Betrieb von Gebäuden sind grundsätzlich treibhausgasintensiv, womit sich eine besondere Verantwortung der S IMMO zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz und Reduktion von Treibhausgasemissionen ergibt. Eine portfolioweite und objektbezogene Verbrauchsdatenüberwachung und die Berechnung der Treibhausgasemissionen gemäß dem Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) soll dazu dienen, auf Basis vollständiger und detaillierter Daten gezielt mögliche Optimierungen zu identifizieren und zu realisieren. Um diesem Vorhaben einen strategischen Rahmen zu geben, sind konkrete Einsparungsziele Teil der ESG-Strategie der S IMMO, welche bereits etabliert wurden bzw. sich nun in der Umsetzung befinden.
Neben den Risiken bietet der Klimawandel auch Chancen für die S IMMO, beispielsweise durch die Erfordernis der Steigerung der eigenen Ressourceneffizienz, sowohl im Bau als auch im Betrieb, wobei der Trend hin zur Kreislaufwirtschaft den finanziellen Anreiz der Wiederverwendbarkeit von Materialien steigert und ihr somit eine stärkere wirtschaftliche Grundlage gibt. Insbesondere im Gebäudebetrieb können durch einen effizienteren Einsatz von Energie und Wasser sowohl Geld als auch Treibhausgasemissionen direkt und merklich eingespart werden, weshalb die S IMMO hier kurzfristig das größte Potenzial sieht. Der vermehrte Einsatz lokaler, erneuerbarer Energiegewinnung führt zu einem höheren Unabhängigkeitsgrad der Immobilien bei gleichzeitiger Emissionseinsparung. Eine breite und frühzeitige Umsetzung solcher Maßnahmen kann dabei auch Marktchancen bei klimabewussten Mieter:innen und Partnerunternehmen eröffnen und die Resilienz des Unternehmens längerfristig gewährleisten, wobei zusätzliche Investitionen durch Effizienzgewinne ausgeglichen oder sogar überkompensiert werden können.
Die angeführten Klimarisiken und -chancen beeinträchtigen die Resilienz der Konzernstrategie und das grundsätzliche Geschäftsmodell bisher in keinem wesentlichen Ausmaß. Gleichwohl finden sie auf Grund ihrer strategischen Berücksichtigung explizit Eingang in die operative und finanzielle Planung der S IMMO, um entsprechende Maßnahmen zur Risikominimierung und Nutzung von Chancen nach angemessener Beurteilung zu realisieren.
Die sozialen Risiken der S IMMO unterteilen sich in die drei Bereiche Mitarbeiter:innen, Mieter:innen sowie Stakeholder:innen und Gesellschaft.
In Bezug auf die Mitarbeiter:innen bestehen soziale Risiken für das Unternehmen zum einen aus möglichen menschlichen Fehlern im täglichen Betrieb und zum anderen aus den Folgen einer schlanken Personalstruktur. So können Fluktuation, der Verlust von Schlüsselkräften und sonstige Personalengpässe negative Auswirkungen auf die Unternehmensentwicklung haben, da das Know-how von Mitarbeiter:innen kurzfristig kaum bzw. nur schwer kompensiert werden kann. Das Unternehmen bemüht sich daher, zusammen mit seiner Muttergesellschaft CPI Europe AG, als Arbeitgeber attraktiv zu sein und bietet seinen Mitarbeiter:innen auch individuelle Lösungen an, um den Arbeitsalltag zu erleichtern. Des Weiteren stellen Arbeitsunfälle und Mitarbeiterausfälle auf Grund körperlicher oder psychischer Belastung sowie Krankheit zusätzliche Risiken dar, denen mit unterschiedlichen infrastrukturellen und gesundheitlichen Vorbeuge- und Vorsorgemaßnahmen begegnet wird. Mit einem New-Work-Konzept bietet die S IMMO ihren Mitarbeiter:innen dabei unterschiedliche Lösungen für eine individuelle Gestaltung des Arbeitsalltags gemäß den persönlichen Bedürfnissen. Dazu zählen flexible Arbeitszeiten und Büroanwesenheiten sowie digitale Hilfsmittel.
Mit Blick auf die Mieter:innen kann es im Rahmen der Gebäudenutzung zu Personenschäden bei Mieter:innen, Besucher:innen und Passant:innen kommen, sollte die S IMMO als Eigentümerin ihren Eigentümer- und Betreiberpflichten nicht ausreichend nachkommen. Zu jedem Zeitpunkt wird deshalb sichergestellt, dass allen Verantwortungen durch entsprechende personelle und physische Vorkehrungen an den Immobilien Rechnung getragen wird. Des Weiteren besteht das Risiko, dass auf Grund von Unzufriedenheit seitens der Mieter:innen Mietverhältnisse gekündigt oder nicht verlängert werden, was in Folge einen Rückgang des Vermietungsgrads bedingen kann. Mieteinnahmen können außerdem durch Wirtschaftskrisen, regulatorische Eingriffe und andere Beschränkungen der Geschäftstätigkeiten der Mieter:innen negativ beeinflusst werden.
Zu den Risiken in Bezug auf alle Stakeholdergruppen zählen das Reputationsrisiko des Unternehmens, das Auftreten weiterer Gesundheitskrisen sowie Arten von ziviler Unruhe, politischer Gewalt, Terrorismus und Krieg, welche sich gesamtgesellschaftlich in ihrem Auftreten und in ihrem Ausmaß kaum vorhersehbar auswirken können.
Der Verhaltenskodex der S IMMO verpflichtet die Organe und Mitarbeiter:innen zu einem Verhalten, das den ethischen Standards des Unternehmens entspricht. Es besteht das Risiko, dass Inhalte dieses Kodexes nicht eingehalten werden. Mitarbeiter:innen, die Kenntnis von einem nachweislichen oder möglichen Verstoß gegen den Verhaltenskodex oder darin angeführte Compliance-Richtlinien erlangen, haben diesen unverzüglich entweder dem Compliance Management der S IMMO zu melden oder eine entsprechende Meldung anonym über das auf der Website der Gesellschaft öffentlich zugängliche digitale Whistleblower-System abzugeben. Die weiteren Governance-Risiken gliedern sich in die Bereiche Menschenrechte, Korruption, rechtliche und regulatorische Verstöße, außerdem Risiken mit Bezug auf Vorstand und Aufsichtsrat sowie Datenschutz und IT.
Im Bereich Menschenrechte wird der Umgang mit ebendiesen durch eine Organisationsrichtlinie geregelt und prozessual verankert. Als besonders relevant hat die S IMMO die folgenden Menschenrechtsrisiken identifiziert:
Zentrale Anlaufstelle für alle Beschwerden und Verdachtsmeldungen hinsichtlich tatsächlicher und potenzieller Menschenrechtsbeeinträchtigungen ist das Compliance Management der S IMMO. Des Weiteren kann in erster Instanz auch das lokale Management in den Niederlassungen kontaktiert werden. Eine anonyme Meldung kann außerdem über das digitale Whistleblower-System des Konzerns abgegeben werden. Alle drei Kanäle stehen unternehmensinternen und -externen Personen gleichermaßen stets offen. Sämtliche gemeldeten Vorfälle laufen beim Compliance Management ein und werden vertraulich und unter Zusicherung der Wahrung der Anonymität behandelt. Bei Bestätigung eines Verdachtsfalls werden mögliche Gegenmaßnahmen identifiziert. Details zum Umgang mit Menschenrechtsrisiken und den zu Grunde liegenden internationalen Rahmenwerken sind im Konzernlagebericht dargestellt. Darüber hinaus sind die Inhalte der Organisationsrichtlinie für Menschenrechte www.simmoag.at/menschenrechte sowie das digitale Whistleblower-System im Intranet für alle Mitarbeiter:innen ersichtlich, wobei auch eine jährliche Schulung zum Thema Whistleblowing für die gesamte Belegschaft verpflichtend ist.
Seit 2022 erfolgen jährliche Schulungen der Mitarbeiter:innen zu den Inhalten und der Umsetzung der Organisationsrichtlinie für Menschenrechte sowie des digitalen Whistleblower-Systems.
Im täglichen Wirtschaften ist das Risiko von Korruptionsfällen stets gegeben. Die S IMMO ist unter anderem in Ländern mit einem niedrigeren Ranking nach dem Corruption Perceptions Index tätig, wodurch es im Ernstfall zu Gesetzesverletzungen und in weiterer Folge zu Strafzahlungen kommen kann. Die S IMMO hat ihren Organen und Mitarbeiter:innen neben dem Verhaltenskodex auch ein eigenes Regelwerk zur Hintanhaltung derartigen Verhaltens gegeben. Die auch auf der Website der Gesellschaft veröffentlichte Richtlinie zur Verhinderung von Bestechung, Vorteilsannahme und Korruption regelt die strukturellen und prozessualen Maßnahmen, um auch nur den Anschein von Bestechlichkeit, Vorteilsannahme und Korruption zu vermeiden. Diese verbindliche Richtlinie ist darauf ausgerichtet, die Sensibilisierung jeder einzelnen Person zu stärken und das Bewusstsein für die Folgen von Korruption und die Möglichkeiten ihrer Bekämpfung zu schaffen. Zu den Inhalten des Verhaltenskodex und der Richtlinie zur Verhinderung von Bestechung, Vorteilsannahme und Korruption werden seit dem Geschäftsjahr 2022 jährlich verpflichtende Schulungen abgehalten.
Als international tätiger Immobilienkonzern mit Gesellschaften in mehreren europäischen Ländern ist die S IMMO Gruppe mit einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen – laufenden Änderungen unterworfenen – nationalen Steuersystemen konfrontiert. Änderungen der lokalen steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen (zum Beispiel bei den immobilienbezogenen Steuern, Umsatz- oder Ertragsteuern) sowie Unsicherheiten bzw. unterschiedliche Auffassungen in Bezug auf die Auslegung der vielfach komplexen steuerlichen Vorschriften können zu nicht geplanten Steuerbelastungen führen und stellen damit stets ein Ertragsrisiko dar. Die S IMMO versucht, allfällige Konsequenzen durch die kontinuierliche Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Steuerexpert:innen frühzeitig zu erkennen sowie bei der Entscheidungsfindung zu berücksichtigen, und trifft für aus Betriebsprüfungen bzw. steuerlichen Verfahren bekannte Risiken ausreichende bilanzielle Vorsorge.
Die S IMMO Gruppe operiert in einem regulatorischen Umfeld, dessen Vorschriften – insbesondere in den Bereichen Arbeits-, Finanz-, Kartell-, öffentliches und Umweltrecht – mit hohen Strafdrohungen anwendbar sind oder sein werden. Die von der Gesellschaft ergriffenen Maßnahmen können sich als unzureichend herausstellen, Verstöße gegen Rechtsvorschriften hintanzuhalten, und damit die Verhängung von hohen Geldstrafen nach sich ziehen. Mit Bezug auf die Organe der S IMMO bestehen zusätzliche Risiken in Form von potenziell überhöhten Vorstandsremunerationen, Betrug und mangelnder Diversität in Vorstand und Aufsichtsrat, welchen die S IMMO mit einer transparenten Vergütungspolitik und strengen Compliance-Richtlinien begegnet. Im Nominierungsprozess und der Zusammensetzung der Organe werden unterschiedliche Diversitätskriterien, beispielsweise im Hinblick auf Know-how, Herkunft und Alter, berücksichtigt.
Trotz aller Sorgfalt sowie systemischer und prozessualer Vorkehrungen besteht das Risiko, dass es im Rahmen von Cyberangriffen und unerlaubter Offenlegung zu Verletzungen der Persönlichkeitsrechte und Privatsphäre von Personen kommt, vor allem im Bereich der Daten von Mitarbeiter:innen und Mieter:innen. Diesem Risiko begegnet das Unternehmen mit laufendem Monitoring der Judikatur sowie gegebenenfalls mit Anpassungen seiner Richtlinien, Infrastruktur und Prozesse in Bezug auf Datenschutz, um die Anzahl der Verletzungen und in Folge Forderungen zu minimieren und diese gegebenenfalls zeitgerecht zu erfüllen. Außerdem werden die Mitarbeiter:innen jährlich zu Datenschutzthemen verpflichtend geschult. IT-Sicherheitsrisiken gewinnen insbesondere im Licht einer erheblich zunehmenden Digitalisierung von Unternehmensabläufen an Bedeutung. Unter IT-Sicherheitsrisiken versteht die S IMMO die Gefahr, dass die Vertraulichkeit, Verfügbarkeit oder Integrität von Unternehmensdaten durch missbräuchliche Veröffentlichungen, Verschlüsselungen oder Verluste verletzt wird und das Unternehmen oder Personen daran hindert, ihre Aufgaben oder Prozesse zeitgerecht und erfolgreich umzusetzen. Dies kann vor allem die Folge von unzureichenden Berechtigungskonzepten, Cyberangriffen und Diebstahl von Hardware sein. Um diese Risiken zu minimieren, erfolgte 2022 die Durchführung eines externen Penetrationstests zur Identifikation und Behebung von IT-Sicherheitslücken, welcher 2024 wiederholt wurde. Die S IMMO verfügt über ein zentrales Benutzer- und Log-Management und setzt rund um die Uhr ein intelligentes Cyberabwehrprogramm und Programme zur automatisierten Erkennung von Datensicherheitsrisiken ein. Des Weiteren werden Festplatten, Datenträger und mobile Geräte verschlüsselt und Server in einem ausfallsicheren Rechenzentrum eines externen Dienstleisters gehostet. Die Datensicherheitsrichtlinie des Unternehmens wird ständig weiterentwickelt und seit dem Jahr 2022 werden jährlich verpflichtende Mitarbeiterschulungen zur Datensicherheit abgehalten. Trotz aller getroffenen Maßnahmen kann ein Ausfall der IT-Infrastruktur bzw. ein Cyberangriff auf die Systeme der S IMMO nicht ausgeschlossen werden.
Bei der Auswahl von und der Zusammenarbeit mit ihren Geschäftspartner:innen und Lieferant:innen legt die S IMMO großen Wert auf die vertraglichen Rahmenbedingungen und Regelungen, wobei die Einhaltung der hohen gesetzlichen Standards und Bestimmungen innerhalb der Europäischen Union dabei das Mindestmaß darstellt. Die Zusammenarbeit erfolgt hier zumeist mit renommierten und anerkannten Partner:innen, welcher ein entsprechender Auswahlprozess vorangeht. Somit wird auch das finanzielle Risiko der Strafzahlungen oder gesetzlichen Restriktionen minimiert.
Generelle externe Risiken können beispielsweise eintreten, wenn Unbefugte in die Firmenräumlichkeiten eindringen und Schäden durch Vandalismus oder Diebstahl verursachen. Auch Brand- und Wasserschäden oder das Fehlen von geeigneten Geschäftspartner:innen zählen zu den generellen externen Risiken. Durch das Eintreten dieser kann es zu einer Einschränkung oder einem Stillstand des Betriebs kommen..
Die S IMMO ist auf Grund ihrer Geschäftstätigkeit einer Vielzahl von rechtlichen Risiken ausgesetzt. Diese resultieren unter anderem aus Rechtsstreitigkeiten im Zusammenhang mit der operativen Geschäftstätigkeit der S IMMO (zum Beispiel Streitigkeiten aus Immobilientransaktionen oder mit Baufirmen bzw. Mieter:innen) und regulatorischen Risiken. Für laufende Rechtsstreitigkeiten werden gegebenenfalls im gemäß IFRS erforderlichen Ausmaß Rückstellungen gebildet. Da der Ausgang (schieds-)gerichtlicher Verfahren in der Regel schwer vorhersehbar ist, können über die dotierten Rückstellungen hinausgehende Aufwendungen entstehen. Signifikante Risiken können sich auch aus Veränderungen der Rechtslage ergeben, zumal die S IMMO in einem stark regulierten Umfeld und in verschiedenen Jurisdiktionen tätig ist. In der S IMMO Gruppe sind zum Bilanzstichtag mehrere Rechtsstreitigkeiten offen, jedoch sind sowohl die einzelnen Beträge als auch die Summe der Beträge nach Einschätzung des Managements von untergeordneter Bedeutung.
Sonstige operationale Risiken betreffen Risiken im Zusammenhang mit Systemen und Prozessen innerhalb der Organisation. Um einen unterbrechungsfreien Ablauf in einer Organisation sicherzustellen, wird eine entsprechende Hardware und Software benötigt, die die notwendige Verarbeitungskapazität als auch die betrieblichen Bedürfnisse des Unternehmens unterstützt. Andernfalls kann es zu Verarbeitungsfehlern, Datenverlusten, fehlerhaften Daten oder Stillstandzeiten kommen. Gleiches gilt, wenn neue IT-Produkte nicht in das bestehende IT-Umfeld integriert werden können oder eine Technologieentwicklung fehlerhaft eingeschätzt wurde. Um Doppelarbeit oder einem erhöhten Abstimmungsbereich entgegenzuwirken, ist eine klare Definition von Verantwortlichkeiten und Abläufen essenziell.
Strategisches Ziel ist die nachhaltige Steigerung des Unternehmenswertes. Zentrale finanzielle Leistungsindikatoren (Kennzahlen) sind dabei für den Gesamtkonzern u.a. der NAV pro Aktie, die Loan to Value (LTV) Ratio sowie Kennzahlen wie das Bruttoergebnis und die Eigenkapitalquote.
Für die S IMMO AG wurden folgende finanzielle Leistungsindikatoren identifiziert:
| 2024 | 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Eigenkapitalquote | % | 49,3 % | 39,0 % |
| Betriebsergebnis | TEUR | 31.638 | 41.126 |
Der Netto-Geldfluss aus laufender Geschäftstätigkeit beträgt für 2024 283.792 TEUR (2023: TEUR 226.517). Der Cashflow aus der Investitionstätigkeit beträgt TEUR -129.318 (2023: TEUR -215.087), der Cashflow aus der Finanzierungstätigkeit beträgt TEUR -399.017 (2023: TEUR 232.957). Der Cashflow aus der Investitionstätigkeit ist im Wesentlichen von an Tochterunternehmen gegebenen Zuschüssen und Ausleihungen geprägt. Der Cashflow aus der Finanzierungstätigkeit ist u.a. von Auszahlungen zur Tilgung von Anleihen bzw. von Ausschüttungen an Aktionäre geprägt. Insgesamt betrug der Finanzmittelbestand am Ende der Periode TEUR 137.367 (2023: TEUR 381.910).
Neben finanziellen Leistungsindikatoren beachtet die S IMMO bei der Umsetzung ihrer Geschäftsstrategie auch nichtfinanzielle Leistungsindikatoren. Diese nehmen unter anderem Bezug auf die Qualität des Immobilienportfolios, den Umgang mit Mitarbeiter:innen sowie die Umsetzung nationaler und internationaler Gesetzgebung in Bezug auf nichtfinanzielle Offenlegungen.
Im Hinblick auf Immobilien verfolgt die S IMMO das Ziel eines hohen und langfristigen Vermietungsgrads und damit verbunden eines geringen Leerstands. Zum 31.12.2024 wies die S IMMO AG eine Leerstandsquote von 3,5 % (31.12.2023: 4,9 %) und einen WAULT (Weighted Average Unexpired Lease Term) von 3,2 Jahren aus (31.12.2023: 3,54 Jahre). Dies erfordert einerseits ein gutes Mietermanagement, andererseits die Bereitstellung von bedarfsgerechten und zukunftsfitten Gebäuden und Räumlichkeiten. Die S IMMO vertritt die Ansicht, dass nach ESG-Kriterien ausgerichtete Immobilien, darunter beispielsweise taxonomiekonforme oder Green-Building-zertifizierte Gebäude, zukünftig werthaltiger sein werden und dabei höhere Mieten und Marktpreise erzielen werden. Deshalb legt die S IMMO Wert darauf, den Anteil derartiger Objekte in ihrem Portfolio zu steigern.
Die S IMMO achtet auf den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen, den Einsatz klimafreundlicher Technologien, eine konsequente Energieeinsparungsstrategie, die Sanierung erhaltenswerter Bausubstanz und die Errichtung effizienter Neubauprojekte. Dadurch werden Betriebskosten und Emissionen reduziert und ein Beitrag zum Umweltschutz sowie zur Zufriedenheit der Mieter geleistet.
Ziele sind eine konsequente Senkung des Energieverbrauchs sowie eine Erhöhung der Energieeffizienz im Bestandsportfolio und damit verbundene Einsparungen. Bevor mit neuen Aktivitäten oder Projekten begonnen wird, werden Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt abgeschätzt und die Ergebnisse dieser Abschätzungen bei der Entscheidungsfindung berücksichtigt. Des Weiteren soll eine schrittweise Ausweitung der Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierungen für Projektentwicklungen und Bestandsobjekte erfolgen. Die Zertifizierungen reduzieren Umweltrisiken und dienen der Verbesserung einer umweltfreundlicheren Flächennutzung und der Erhöhung der Effizienz.

Bericht zum Jahresabschluss
Wir haben den Jahresabschluss der
S IMMO AG, Wien,
bestehend aus der Bilanz zum 31. Dezember 2024, der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung für das an diesem Stichtag endende Geschäftsjahr und dem Anhang, geprüft.
Nach unserer Beurteilung entspricht der beigefügte Jahresabschluss den gesetzlichen Vorschriften und vermittelt ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens- und Finanzlage zum 31. Dezember 2024 sowie der Ertragslage der Gesellschaft für das an diesem Stichtag endende Geschäftsjahr in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften.
Wir haben unsere Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-Verordnung Nr. 537/2014 (im Folgenden EU-VO) und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung durchgeführt. Diese Grundsätze erfordern die Anwendung der International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Unsere Verantwortlichkeiten nach diesen Vorschriften und Standards sind im Abschnitt "Verantwortlichkeiten des Abschlussprüfers für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses" unseres Bestätigungsvermerks weitergehend beschrieben. Wir sind von der Gesellschaft unabhängig in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen und berufsrechtlichen Vorschriften, und wir haben unsere sonstigen beruflichen Pflichten in Übereinstimmung mit diesen Anforderungen erfüllt. Wir sind der Auffassung, dass die von uns bis zum Datum des Bestätigungsvermerks erlangten Prüfungsnachweise ausreichend und geeignet sind, um als Grundlage für unser Prüfungsurteil zu diesem Datum zu dienen.
Besonders wichtige Prüfungssachverhalte sind solche Sachverhalte, die nach unserem pflichtgemäßen Ermessen am bedeutsamsten für unsere Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren. Diese Sachverhalte wurden im Zusammenhang mit unserer Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses als Ganzes und bei der Bildung unseres Prüfungsurteils hierzu berücksichtigt, und wir geben kein gesondertes Prüfungsurteil zu diesen Sachverhalten ab.
Nachfolgend stellen wir den aus unserer Sicht besonders wichtigen Prüfungssachverhalt dar:
S IMMO AG, Wien 31. Dezember 2024
Risiko Im Jahresabschluss der S IMMO AG zum 31. Dezember 2024 sind Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen in wesentlichem Umfang ausgewiesen (EUR 1.728,5 Mio).
Für sämtliche Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen wird ein Werthaltigkeitstest durchgeführt. Im Rahmen dieses Werthaltigkeitstests sind wesentliche Annahmen und Schätzungen zu treffen.
Da es sich bei den verbundenen Unternehmen vor allem um Immobiliengesellschaften handelt, basiert der Werthaltigkeitstest auf einer vereinfachten Unternehmensbewertung, deren wesentliche Basis die von externen, unabhängigen Sachverständigen erstellten Immobiliengutachten oder bereits vertraglich vereinbarte Verkaufspreise sind. Das wesentliche Risiko besteht bei den Immobiliengutachten in der Festlegung von Annahmen und Schätzungen wie Diskontierungs-/Kapitalisierungssatz und erzielbare Mieteinnahmen. Eine geringfügige Änderung dieser Annahmen und Schätzungen kann einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Bewertung der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen haben.
Die Angaben der Gesellschaft zu Anteilen an verbundenen Unternehmen sind im Jahresabschluss zum 31. Dezember 2024 in Abschnitt "1.2. Anlagevermögen" enthalten.
Adressierung im Rahmen der Abschlussprüfung
Um dieses Risiko zu adressieren, haben wir die Annahmen und Schätzungen des Managements und der externen Sachverständigen kritisch hinterfragt und dabei unter Beiziehung unserer internen Immobilienbewertungsspezialisten unter anderem die folgenden Prüfungshandlungen durchgeführt:
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind für die sonstigen Informationen verantwortlich. Die sonstigen Informationen umfassen alle Informationen im Geschäftsbericht und im Jahresfinanzbericht, ausgenommen den Jahresabschluss, den Lagebericht und den Bestätigungsvermerk.
Unser Prüfungsurteil zum Jahresabschluss erstreckt sich nicht auf diese sonstigen Informationen, und wir geben dazu keine Art der Zusicherung.
Im Zusammenhang mit unserer Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses haben wir die Verantwortlichkeit, diese sonstigen Informationen zu lesen und dabei zu würdigen, ob die sonstigen Informationen wesentliche Unstimmigkeiten zum Jahresabschluss oder unseren bei der Abschlussprüfung erlangten Kenntnissen aufweisen oder anderweitig falsch dargestellt erscheinen.
Falls wir auf der Grundlage der von uns durchgeführten Arbeiten den Schluss ziehen, dass eine wesentliche falsche Darstellung dieser sonstigen Informationen vorliegt, sind wir verpflichtet, über diese Tatsache zu berichten. Wir haben in diesem Zusammenhang nichts zu berichten.
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses und dafür, dass dieser in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Gesellschaft vermittelt. Ferner sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter verantwortlich für die internen Kontrollen, die sie als notwendig erachten, um die Aufstellung eines Jahresabschlusses zu ermöglichen, der frei von wesentlichen falschen Darstellungen aufgrund von dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern ist.
Bei der Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter dafür verantwortlich, die Fähigkeit der Gesellschaft zur Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit zu beurteilen, Sachverhalte im Zusammenhang mit der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit – sofern einschlägig – anzugeben, sowie dafür, den Rechnungslegungsgrundsatz der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit anzuwenden, es sei denn, die gesetzlichen Vertreter beabsichtigen, entweder die Gesellschaft zu liquidieren oder die Unternehmenstätigkeit einzustellen oder haben keine realistische Alternative dazu.
Der Prüfungsausschuss ist verantwortlich für die Überwachung des Rechnungslegungsprozesses der Gesellschaft.
S IMMO AG, Wien 31. Dezember 2024
Unsere Ziele sind, hinreichende Sicherheit darüber zu erlangen, ob der Jahresabschluss als Ganzes frei von wesentlichen falschen Darstellungen aufgrund von dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern ist, und einen Bestätigungsvermerk zu erteilen, der unser Prüfungsurteil beinhaltet. Hinreichende Sicherheit ist ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit, aber keine Garantie dafür, dass eine in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, durchgeführte Abschlussprüfung eine wesentliche falsche Darstellung, falls eine solche vorliegt, stets aufdeckt. Falsche Darstellungen können aus dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern resultieren und werden als wesentlich angesehen, wenn von ihnen einzeln oder insgesamt vernünftigerweise erwartet werden könnte, dass sie die auf der Grundlage dieses Jahresabschlusses getroffenen wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen von Nutzern beeinflussen.
Als Teil einer Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, üben wir während der gesamten Abschlussprüfung pflichtgemäßes Ermessen aus und bewahren eine kritische Grundhaltung. Darüber hinaus gilt:
S IMMO AG, Wien 31. Dezember 2024
Wir tauschen uns mit dem Prüfungsausschuss unter anderem über den geplanten Umfang und die geplante zeitliche Einteilung der Abschlussprüfung sowie über bedeutsame Prüfungsfeststellungen, einschließlich etwaiger bedeutsamer Mängel im internen Kontrollsystem, die wir während unserer Abschlussprüfung erkennen, aus.
Wir geben dem Prüfungsausschuss auch eine Erklärung ab, dass wir die relevanten beruflichen Verhaltensanforderungen zur Unabhängigkeit eingehalten haben, und tauschen uns mit ihm über alle Beziehungen und sonstigen Sachverhalte aus, von denen vernünftigerweise angenommen werden kann, dass sie sich auf unsere Unabhängigkeit und – sofern einschlägig – auf vorgenommene Handlungen zur Beseitigung von Gefährdungen oder angewandte Schutzmaßnahmen auswirken.
Wir bestimmen von den Sachverhalten, über die wir uns mit dem Prüfungsausschuss ausgetauscht haben, diejenigen Sachverhalte, die am bedeutsamsten für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren und daher die besonders wichtigen Prüfungssachverhalte sind. Wir beschreiben diese Sachverhalte in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk, es sei denn, Gesetze oder andere Rechtsvorschriften schließen die öffentliche Angabe des Sachverhalts aus oder wir bestimmen in äußerst seltenen Fällen, dass ein Sachverhalt nicht in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk mitgeteilt werden sollte, weil vernünftigerweise erwartet wird, dass die negativen Folgen einer solchen Mitteilung deren Vorteile für das öffentliche Interesse übersteigen würden.
Der Lagebericht ist aufgrund der österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften darauf zu prüfen, ob er mit dem Jahresabschluss in Einklang steht und ob er nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt wurde.
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Lageberichts in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften.
Wir haben unsere Prüfung in Übereinstimmung mit den Berufsgrundsätzen zur Prüfung des Lageberichts durchgeführt.
Urteil
Nach unserer Beurteilung ist der Lagebericht nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt worden, enthält zutreffende Angaben nach § 243a Abs 2 UGB, und steht in Einklang mit dem Jahresabschluss.
Angesichts der bei der Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und des gewonnenen Verständnisses über die Gesellschaft und ihr Umfeld wurden wesentliche fehlerhafte Angaben im Lagebericht nicht festgestellt.
Wir wurden von der Hauptversammlung am 3. Mai 2024 als Abschlussprüfer gewählt. Wir wurden am 7. Jänner 2025 vom Aufsichtsrat beauftragt. Wir sind ununterbrochen seit dem Geschäftsjahr 2023 Abschlussprüfer.
Wir erklären, dass das Prüfungsurteil im Abschnitt "Bericht zum Jahresabschluss" mit dem zusätzlichen Bericht an den Prüfungsausschuss nach Artikel 11 der EU-VO in Einklang steht.
Wir erklären, dass wir keine verbotenen Nichtprüfungsleistungen (Artikel 5 Abs 1 der EU-VO) erbracht haben und dass wir bei der Durchführung der Abschlussprüfung unsere Unabhängigkeit von der geprüften Gesellschaft gewahrt haben.
