DANUBE HOUSE Prague
CA Immo is a real estate company headquartered in Vienna with subsidiaries in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Serbia. The parent company of the Group is the listed CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft, based in Vienna, whose main activity the strategic and operational management of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The individual branches operate as largely decentralized profit centers. As at December 31, 2024, the Group comprised a total of 139 companies (31.12.2023: 145) with 254 employees (31.12.2023: 348). In full-time equivalents (FTE), the number of employees as at December 31, 2024 was 222.1 (December 31, 2023: 307.4). The decrease in employees and FTEs is mainly due to the sale of the subsidiary omniCon.
CA Immo's core competence is the development and management of high-quality prime office properties in core Europe with a focus on the German market, which accounts for around 68% of the total portfolio. The strategic business model is geared towards sustainable value creation, taking account of ecological, economic, social and legal dimensions. The company covers the entire value chain in the commercial real estate sector - from land preparation, land development and realization of the surrounding infrastructure to the construction and operation of new buildings.
In addition to the most important core markets of Berlin and Munich, CA Immo is also active in the cities of Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Vienna, Prague and Warsaw. The markets of Budapest and Belgrade were classified as nonstrategic markets as part of the strategic capital rotation program; the Management Board is authorised to initiate or carry out all relevant activities in connection with the market exit from these regions.
Additional contributions to earnings are generated through the preparation and realization of land reserves via the development business division. CA Immo either includes completed projects into its own portfolio or sells them to an end investor. The Group currently controls property assets of around€5.0bn in Germany, Austria and Central and Eastern Europe (31.12.2023: €5.2bn).
The real estate is held in direct or indirect subsidiaries of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG. As at December 31, 2024, property assets of around €177m (31.12.2023: €241m) are also held directly by the parent company. As at the reporting date, the overall Austrian portfolio exclusively comprises investment properties and one property held for sale with a total book value of around €256m (31.12.2023: €347m).

The operating platform for all of the Group's activities in Germany is CA Immo Deutschland GmbH, which has branches in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich. In addition to existing properties, the company's property assets consist primarily of properties under construction or undeveloped plots and a portfolio of other real estate intended for trading or sale. The investment properties are largely held in direct investments and managed by DRG Deutsche Realitäten GmbH - a joint venture with the Austrian brokerage and property management company ÖRAG. Individual investment properties under development (for example in Munich and Mainz) are realized in joint ventures. Real estate development is managed by the Development department, which is part of CA Immo Deutschland GmbH and its direct subsidiaries and draws on in-house expertise.
In CEE, the strategic focus is also on prime office properties in the cities of Prague and Warsaw. The existing CEE property portfolio is held by direct or indirect CA Immo subsidiaries. All CEE properties are managed by the regional branches.
The economic environment in Germany, Austria, and the CEE region remains challenging, with stagnation in Germany and weak productivity weighing on growth. While European activity shows signs of improvement, sentiment remains subdued due to weak demand and fading employment expectations, particularly in the industrial sector.
Unemployment remains low at the cost of weak wages and overcapacity. Inflation continues to decline toward the ECB's 2% target, paving the way for multiple rate cuts in 2025. The real estate sector remains under pressure, though expectations of monetary easing may support investment sentiment going forward.
Political uncertainty persists, with upcoming elections and geopolitical risks, including potential trade tensions with the U.S. While macroeconomic conditions may ease slightly, the outlook remains uncertain.
The transaction market for commercial real estate remained challenging in 2024. Elevated financing costs and diverging dynamics in different real estate segments concluded in low market activity compared to long term averages. Capital values in the German markets saw some recovery compared to 2023 fueled by rental growth and stabilizing yields. Austria and CEE were negatively impacted or remained flat due to slower rental growth.
Prime office yields remained flat towards the end of 2024 across most markets. Berlin and Munich are the first markets that saw a yield compression by 20 basis points at the end of the year. All other markets had either a flat yield development (Duesseldorf, Frankfurt and Vienna) or a slight increase of 15-25 basis points (Warsaw, Prague and Budapest) compared to 2023.
Office investment volumes seem to have troughed and 2024 was showing a significant growth of transactions in comparison to the previous year. Total investment volumes improved in all markets except Vienna in 2024. This was also true for the office segment, with the exception of Budapest, Vienna and Berlin. The four most important German CA Immo markets recorded an increase to just over €3.2bn (+49% year-on-year). In total, office investment markets in CEE and Austria also rebounded
in 2024. While the transaction volume of €2.6bn (+31% year-on-year) did not increase as much as in Germany, the 2023 results were also not as severely impacted as in the case of the German markets.
Demand for office space, measured in terms of net takeup (newly leased space excl. lease renewals) amounted to 2.90m sqm in 2024 across CA Immo's main markets; and therefore, remained virtually unchanged compared to 2023. Net absorption (change in occupied space) has severely declined to negative 476,000sqm in 2024 (decline from 101,000sqm in 2023) driven entirely by the German markets, illustrating how efficiency seeking became a driving force of the market.
The most significant decline in letting activity on an aggregated basis was observed in the consumer services & leisure, manufacturing and public sectors, while demand from financial services has significantly improved.
Prime rents in the main CA Immo markets continued to rise in 2024, albeit at a very uneven pace. Munich has been showing the most substantial growth, outperforming the other German markets with €57.00 per sqm (+21% year-on-year). Prime rents in Frankfurt reached €49.00 per sqm (+3% year-on-year), Berlin reached €44.50 per sqm (+1% year-on-year) and €45.00 per sqm in Duesseldorf (+13% year-on-year).
In the CEE region and in Austria, prime rents remained rather flat except for Prague. Prime rents for offices in Vienna reached €28.00 per sqm (0% year-on-year), while in Budapest and Warsaw they amounted to €25.00 per sqm and €27.00 per sqm respectively (both 0% year-on-year). The prime rent in Prague reached €29.50 per sqm (+7% year-on-year).
The trend of average rents rising more slowly than prime rents continued in 2024.
In 2024, 1.0m sqm of new office space has been delivered to the four most important German markets (–12% compared to the previous year). Only Duesseldorf and Frankfurt recorded an increase in the supply of new office space.
New office supply in CEE and Austria has grown slightly to 0.36m sqm in 2024 (+15% year-on-year), with only Prague adding less space than the year before.
Current forecasts predict only a moderate increase in completions for 2025 and beyond. This is particularly pronounced in the German markets, as macroeconomic challenges and tighter financing conditions weigh on the sector.
Lower completion volumes in Germany were not able to compensate the fall in net absorption and vacancy rates rose because of this development. Vacancy rates in Berlin and Munich rose to 7.3% and 8.5% respectively. Duesseldorf reached the highest vacancy among the German markets with 12.2%. On the other hand, increased demand in Frankfurt led to a slight decrease of the vacancy rate to 10.4% towards the end of the year, despite higher new deliveries compared to 2023.
While deliveries were comparatively higher in CEE and Austria, demand held up better than in Germany. This resulted in only modest vacancy increases in most markets. Vacancy rates in Prague (7.4%) and Warsaw (10.6%) remained flat while a steady delivery pipeline pushed vacancy in Budapest to 14.1%. Vienna was the only market, where vacancy was reduced in the last year and stood at around 3.4%.

The CA Immo Group divides its core activity into the business areas of investment properties and investment properties under development. In both business areas, CA Immo specialises in commercial real estate with a clear focus on high-quality, sustainable office properties in central European metropolitan cities. The aim is to optimise, increase the value of and profitably manage the investment property portfolio in CA Immo's core cities on an ongoing basis. CA Immo generates additional earnings contributions in the development business area through the preparation, utilisation and development of land reserves.
Driven by various property sales and a negative revaluation result, the value of property assets decreased in 2024 by –4% to €5.0bn (2023: €5.2bn). Of this figure, investment properties account for €4.3bn (86% of the total portfolio), property assets under development represent €0.5bn (9%) and short-term properties €252m (5%). With a proportion of 68% of total property assets, Germany is the biggest regional segment.

In the 2024 business year, CA Immo continued its strategic capital rotation programme to focus the portfolio on large-scale, modern office properties in core cities. The objective here is to profitably sell properties that are not part of the core business in terms of location, asset class, quality, size or profitability in accordance with the portfolio strategy. At the same time, the quality, management efficiency and sustainability of the portfolio are improved. The proceeds from sales strengthen CA Immo's capital structure and liquidity and will be invested in the value-enhancing continuation of its first-class German development pipeline, the revitalization of investment buildings, and selective property acquisitions, among other things.
In 2024, CA Immo invested a total of €142.5m (2023: €154.8m) in its property portfolio (investments and maintenance). Of this figure, €58.5m was earmarked for modernisation and optimisation measures and €84.0m was devoted to the furtherance of development projects.
In the 2024 financial year, construction began on a new office building in Berlin and a renovation project in Prague. Another renovation project for an investment building in Warsaw was completed in the first quarter of 2025. As of the reporting date, two new office buildings in Berlin and an extensive renovation of an investment building are therefore in progress.
No properties were acquired in the financial year 2024.
In the 2024 financial year, CA Immo continued to sell non-strategic investment properties as well as land reserves that are not primarily suitable for office use. In total, group-wide sales proceeds of €163.4m (2023: €519.1m, incl. the sale of properties proportionally owned by CA Immo, at equity), and a contribution to earnings from property sales of €24.4m (2023: €185.8m) were generated. In the case of company sales (share deals), the sales proceeds are the net position of the sales price achieved for the property, less borrowings, plus other assets.

1) Project share held by CA Immo
2) Area: for investment properties: rental area, for land: land area
The investment property business is CA Immo's most important source of income, accounting for 86% of total property assets. The ongoing quality optimization of the portfolio and continuous tenant retention and acquisition to maintain stable, recurring rental income is the primary corporate objective. Property maintenance and leasing is handled by local teams in the core cities. Details on sustainability issues regarding the investment portfolio can be found in the ESG Report.
This section shows key performance indicators for our portfolio properties, such as occupancy rate and yield. Owner-occupied properties, right-of-use properties and project completions that are still in the stabilization phase are not included in the calculation of these key figures. For this reason, these property types are excluded from the portfolio book values and rentable area in the "Key figures" table and shown separately in the "Other investment properties" line.
As at key date 31 December 2024, the Group's investment portfolio incorporated a total rentable effective area of 0.9m sqm with an approximate book value of €4.3bn (2023: €4.8bn). The decline yoy is due to the sale of investment properties (see section "Property assets"), the reclassification of seven investment properties to shortterm property assets (IFRS 5), the reclassification of one investment property to properties under development (renovation project) and a negative revaluation result.
In 2024, CA Immo generated total rental income of €238.9m (€231.4m in 2023). On the basis of annualised rental revenue, the asset portfolio produced a yield of 5.5% (2023: 5.2%). In line with the strategic portfolio focus, the office share of the total portfolio has steadily increased over recent years and as at the reporting date stands at 95.8% (2023: 93.5%). The occupancy rate (by area) for the investment portfolio stands at 93.1% on 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: 88.8%).

The like-for-like analysis of the portfolio provides an overview of the organic year-on-year development of the key portfolio figures, adjusted for portfolio changes (property additions and disposals) to enable comparability.
The reduction in the balance sheet value as well as the increase in the gross yield during 2024 resulted mainly from the negative net result from property valuation, which reflects changed market conditions in all CA Immo markets. Rising rental income are the result of lease adjustments due to indexation clauses and good letting performance.

From site development and the procurement of planning permission, letting and the transfer of completed properties to its own portfolio or sales to investors, CA Immo performs the full range of project development services.
As at 31 December 2024, the development division accounted for around 9% of CA Immo's total property assets (incl. projects and land reserves held for trading and sale, short-term property assets) with a balance sheet value of around €461.0m (2023: €362.5m).
This increase reflects, among other things, the start of construction on the new Anna Lindh Haus in Berlin in September and the reclassification of the property Am Karlsbad 11 from an investment property to a renovation project.
The development activity (new construction) is concentrated on Berlin. The property assets under development are divided into projects under construction (49%, by book value), projects in planning (13%) and landbank (38%).

The Europacity district is taking shape around Berlin Central station, bringing together office, residential, hotel and cultural uses across some 60 hectares. As at the key date, CA Immo has two office projects under construction as part of this district development, of which one (Upbeat) was fully let to a single tenant before the start of construction. CA Immo also holds further land reserves at the site with office zoning at various stages of planning and construction preparation.
In September, construction began on the Anna Lindh Haus in Berlin. The new 16,000 sqm office building, located in the immediate vicinity of Berlin's main railway station, integrates climate-friendly building technologies such as timber hybrid construction and renewable energies (photovoltaics, heat pumps).
The land bank held by CA Immo has been steadily reduced in size in recent years through project development and the sale of non-core assets. As at reporting date, it included 19 assets with a total plot area of around 640,000sqm. 89% of the land (by book value) is accounted for by brownfield building plots in city centres in Berlin and Frankfurt. These plots are in various stages of obtaining building rights and are intended for office development. The remaining 11% is mainly land in Munich with residential construction potential (non-core), as well as a small number of compensation and infrastructure areas with no construction potential from building rights provision projects that have already been completed.
Property valuation constitutes the fundamental basis on which a real estate company is appraised, and is thus the most important factor in determining net asset value. In addition to property-specific criteria, there are many economic and political factors that can affect the development of property values. In the office property sector, which represents the core business of the CA Immo Group, the general economic conditions – especially where economic growth and the employment rate are concerned – directly influence the real estate cycle. Other key variables having a major influence on real estate investment markets include interest levels and geopolitical events. Given their economic implications and varying impact on the capital and real estate markets of different sectors, unforeseeable and exceptional situations (such as the the Covid-19 pandemic or Russia's invasion of Ukraine) can also have a direct impact on property valuations.
The value of real estate is generally determined by independent expert appraisers outside the company using recognised valuation methods. External valuations are carried out in line with standards defined by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). RICS defines fair value as the estimated value at which an asset or liability can be sold to a willing buyer by a willing seller on the valuation date in the framework of a transaction in the usual course of business after a reasonable marketing period, whereby the buyer and seller each act knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The valuation method applied by the expert appraiser in a particular case is mainly determined by the stage of development and usage type of a property.
Investment properties (which makes up the bulk of the CA Immo Group's portfolio) are generally valued according to the discounted cash flow method; fair values are based on capitalised rental revenue or the discounted cash flows expected in future. In addition to current contractual rents and lease expiry profiles, the qualified assessment of the expert appraiser determines and takes account of other parameters such as, among other things, in particular, the attainable market rent, the equivalent yield for a property.
The residual value procedure is applied to sites in the development and construction phase. In this case, fair
values are determined following completion, taking account of outstanding expenses and incorporating an appropriate developer profit in line with construction progress. Other possible risks are considered, amongst other things, related to future attainable rents, initial yields and financing rates. Interest rates are influenced in particular by general market conditions as well as locations and usage types. The closer a project comes to the point of completion, the larger the proportion of parameters derived from actual and contractually stipulated figures. Sites are valued according to the discounted cash flow method, shortly before and after completion.
In the case of land reserves where no active development is planned for the near future, the comparable value method (or the residual value method) is applied, depending on the property and the status of development.
For almost 100% of the total property assets, external valuations were carried out on the key date 31.12.2024 or values were based on binding purchase agreements. In 2024, all external valuations commissioned by CA Immo were carried out by Jones Lang LaSalle.
For the year 2024 the CA Immo Group recorded a negative revaluation result of €–199.6m (2023: €–532.0m). Of this, 10% was attributable to active development projects and land reserves and 90% to investment properties. Of the revaluation loss, 44% was accounted for by CA Immo's largest single market, Germany, with 50% attributable to CEE and 6% to Austria. The main factor behind the revaluation losses was the market-related increase in yields on all CA Immo markets; this could not be offset by rising rent assumptions. On a like-for-like basis, the value of the investment properties in the like-for-like portfolio fell by 2.3%. From this perspective, the gross yield rose by 48 basis points to 5.6% (see also the "Investment properties" section).



Further information on the development of the real estate market can be found in the " Property Markets" section.
The valuation result in Germany amounted to €–87.9m as of December 31, 2024 (2023: €–412.1m). The largest contributions to the revaluation loss in terms of amount were attributable to the investment properties ONE, Hallesches Ufer 74-76 and Spreebogen. The upbeat development project, which is currently under construction, and future development projects were also marked down.
By city, the largest declines in value were recorded in Berlin (€–33.3m), Munich (€–32.9m) and Frankfurt (€–17.9m).
The main driver here was also a decompression of yields, which could not be offset by rising rent assumptions. The gross yield therefore rose year-on-year from 4.3% to 4.6% (fully consolidated properties).
The revaluation result in Austria amounted to €–11.4m (2023: €–33.0m) as of the reporting date. All investment properties were marked down due to a decompression of yields. The largest valuation decreases in absolute terms were recorded for the Silbermöwe and Galleria investment properties.
The average gross yield on the investment properties increased significantly year-on-year from 6.6% to 7.4% (fully consolidated properties).
The revaluation result for the CEE segment was € – 100.4m (2023: € –86.9m) as of the key date. Budapest accounted for the largest share of this amount (€–64.9m), followed by Warsaw (€–29.3m) and Prague (€–0.9m). The largest devaluations in terms of amount were recorded by the Capital Square and City Gate investment properties in Budapest and the Sienna Center in Warsaw.
The gross yield of the CA Immo portfolio (fully consolidated properties) increased from 6.4% to 7.1% compared to the previous year.
As a real estate company, CA Immo operates in a capital-intensive sector with the availability of debt capital being a key determinant of success. The optimisation of the capital structure is highly relevant and, along with the successful management of the property portfolio, one of the decisive factors for the overall result of CA Immo.
As at 31.12.2024, the CA Immo Group's total financial liabilities (incl. leasing liabilities) amounted to €2.7bn and were therefore 2% above the previous year's figure (€2.7bn). This increase is mainly due to the new issue of a €350m green bond in October 2024. This was offset by the repayment of a €175m bond in February 2024, the repayment of the variable tranches of the promissory loan in May 2024 (€35.5m) and the buyback of €74.1m of the €350m green bond 2025 as part of the new issue of the green bond in October 2024. After deducting the Group's cash and cash equivalents, net debt amounted to €1.9bn at the end of the year (2023: €1.9bn). The company therefore continues to have a robust balance sheet with a solid equity ratio of 42.5% (2023: 43.8%), which is reflected in defensive debt ratios such as gearing (net) of 74.0% (2023: 69.3%) and loan-to-value (LTV, net) of 38.2% (2022: 36.6%). Financing costs, a key component of the recurrent result, amounted to €–55.1m in the 2024 financial year (2023: €–54.5m).
In addition to the financing facilities that have already been secured and are therefore reflected on the balance sheet, the CA Immo Group also has financing lines that have not yet been utilized, which serve to finance development projects under construction in Germany and will be successively provided by the banks as construction progresses. These financing lines amounted to €85m at the reporting date, taking into account joint ventures in the amount of the interest held.
In addition, the company has a financing line (revolving credit facility, RCF) of €300m at holding company level, which was concluded in the fourth quarter of 2021 and extended in 2022 and 2023 by a further year each until 2026, the margin of which is linked to the company's sustainability performance, among other things. This facility is currently undrawn and can be used for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions).
The chart below shows the maturity profile of the CA Immo Group's financial liabilities (nominal amounts due at maturity) as at 31.12.2024 (assuming that extension options are exercised). The maturities shown for 2025 amounted to around €228m as at the reporting date. Of this amount, €275.9m is attributable to the corporate bond maturing in October 2025, which was already refinanced by the new issue in October 2024.
MATURITY PROFILE (NOMINAL AMOUNTS DUE AT MATURITY, EXCL. LEASING LIABILITITES) AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2024 (BASIS: €2.7BN)

Most of the secured financing activities in 2024 related to German properties. For example, in April 2024, the construction financing for the construction project Hochhaus am Europaplatz in Berlin (approx. €105m) was transferred to contractually secured long-term financing as part of the completion and transfer to the investment portfolio. In August 2024, a combined financing ("bridge loan" and investment financing) in the amount of €90m was concluded in Berlin. The bank loans for the Belmundo and Lavista properties were also extended by a further two years in autumn 2024. The loan for the Ambigon property was repaid at the end of 2024. Further repayments are planned for expiries in 2025.
The investment grade rating of CA Immo allows for greater flexibility and thus further optimization of the financing structure through improved access to the institutional debt capital market. This broadens the range of financing options available to the Group. Key indicators for obtaining and maintaining the investment grade rating are a strong balance sheet with a low level of debt, recurring earnings power and the associated solid interest cover, as well as a sufficiently large proportion of unencumbered properties. The Baa3 rating with stable outlook was last affirmed by Moody's in a credit opinion in June 2024.
Over the recent years, CA Immo's financing costs have been steadily reduced by continuously optimizing the financing structure and taking advantage of favourable
market conditions until 2021. However, in the context of the rapid rise in base rates and risk premiums in previous years, the cost of new financing has increased significantly. This is reflected in rising average financing costs compared to previous years, although these are still at a low level.

As shown in the table on the next page, the average financing costs of the CA Immo Group on the basis of fully consolidated financial liabilities were 2.28% as at the reporting date (31.12.2023: 2.00%). This figure includes the derivatives used to hedge interest rates in the form of interest rate swaps and caps. If the latter are excluded from the analysis, the average interest rate is higher at 2.90%.

1) The data basis includes only fully consolidated financing, excl. leasing liabilities
The financing strategy of the CA Immo Group is based on a balanced mix of secured and unsecured financing instruments with the aim of minimising financing costs
and the risk of interest rate changes while maximising average terms and flexibility.
Maintaining the investment grade rating and financial policy on the basis of a solid balance sheet structure with a strong equity base and sustainable profitability is a key strategic component, which is also reflected in the objective of a long-term defensive and robust financial profile.
As regards financial indicators, long-term objectives fluctuate between 45-50% for the Group's equity ratio and 30-40% for the loan-to-value ratio (net financial liabilities to property assets). The interest rate hedging ratio, at around 98% as of the reporting date, is to be maintained at a high level in order to largely cushion the risk of interest rate increases.
With a share of around 49% of the financing volume (excl. leasing liabilities), half of the outstanding financings is currently accounted for by unsecured financing in the form of corporate bonds and a promissory loan (Schuldschein) placed on the capital market. The other half of the financing volume comprises mortgage loans secured by real estate, which are taken out in those (subsidiary) companies in which the respective real estate is held.
The proportion of unsecured financing at Group level has increased significantly since receiving an investment grade rating in 2015 and comprised four corporate bonds placed on the capital market with a total volume of around €1,315m as at the reporting date.
The book value of unencumbered properties, a key criterion for the Group's investment grade rating, amounted to around €1.7bn as at 31.12.2024 and was therefore lower than in the previous period (31.12.2023: €1.7bn). This corresponds to a ratio of around 34% of total property assets.
As at key date 31.12.2024, CA Immo had the following outstanding bonds registered for official trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange:
| ISIN | Type | Outstanding volume |
Maturity | Cou pon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS2248827771 | Corporate Bond |
€275.9m | 2020-2025 | 1.000% |
| AT0000A22H40 | Corporate Bond |

| XS2927556519 | Corporate Bond |
€350.0m | 2024-2030 | 4.250% |
The bonds are unsecured financings of the Group parent company, which rank pari passu with each other and with all other unsecured financings of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG. The terms and conditions of the bonds include a loan-to-value (LTV) covenant. The bonds issued in 2020 and in 2024 contain two further covenants relating to the secured financing volume and the interest rate coverage of the Group.
CA Immo has business relations with a large number of financing partners. With around 19% of total outstanding financial liabilities, the main financing bank in terms of the credit volume is the UniCredit Group. As the chart shows, Helaba, Deutsche Postbank, DG Hyp and Bayern LB also accounted for larger shares as at the key date.


Since interest expenses make up a significant expense item on the income statement for most real estate companies (alongside administrative overheads), interest rate rises can have a major impact on earnings – especially since rental revenue is usually based on long-term agreements, which means increases in financing costs cannot be directly counterbalanced by higher revenue. For this reason, the CA Immo Group's financing strategy involves hedging a substantial proportion of interest expenditure against fluctuation over the long term. Interest swaps are currently used as interest hedging tools. The ratio of fixed-interest bonds also makes up a major part of the interest rate hedging ratio.
Of the derivatives deployed, a nominal amount of €1,134.4m is attributable to interest rate swap agreements (31.12.2023: €963.2m), €39.4m to interest rate floors (31.12.2023: €40.3m) and €68.0m (31.12.2023: €68.5m) to interest rate caps. The average weighted term remaining
on the derivatives used to hedge interest rates was around 4.0 years as at the reporting date, compared to a weighted remaining term of the financial liabilities of 3.6 years.
In terms of the balance sheet, a distinction is made between those contracts that are recognized as stand-alone fair value derivatives in the income statement under the item "Result from derivatives" and those contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with IFRS 9 and whose change in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income as at the respective reporting date. As at the reporting date of December 31, 2024, contracts with a total nominal value of €1,029.4m and a market value of €15.8m were classified as fair value derivatives (December 31, 2023: €855.1m and €39.0m respectively). As at December 31, 2024, the company had contracts classified as cash flow hedges with a nominal value of €212.3m and a fair value of €18.5m (December 31, 2023: €216.9m and €24.8m).
On 22.11.2022, the CA Immo Group completed the sale of seven Romanian properties and the management company. This geographical segment is presented as a discontinued operation. In the consolidated income statement, the earnings (after tax) of the Romania portfolio are shown in a separate line in the comparative figures for 2023.
Rental income for CA Immo increased by 3.2% to €238.9m. By region, around 56% of total rental income was generated by the German portfolio, followed by the CEE portfolio with around 36% and Austria with around 8%.
In 2024, project completions in previous years (Hochhaus am Europaplatz and Grasblau in Berlin, and ONE in Frankfurt) resulted in €14.0m more being collected than in the previous year. A total of €2.6m was collected additionally in income from investment properties than in the previous reporting period. In addition to the effects of the change in the vacancy rate and rent increases, this also includes rent increases in connection with indexation clauses in rental contracts. By contrast, there were losses of €9.1m in rental income in connection with non-strategic property sales in all markets.
Incentive arrangements from various lease agreements (in particular rent-free periods) are amortised on a straight-line basis over the total term of the lease contract. Rental income therefore shows the effective economic rent and not the actual cash-relevant rent during the period. Of the rental income for business year 2024, straight-line amortisation of this kind accounted for €12.4m (2023: €8.6m).
In year-on-year comparison, property expenses directly attributable to the asset portfolio, including own operating expenses were down at €–36.7m (2023: €–38.7m). This expenditure item consists of vacancy costs and operating expenses that cannot be passed on (€–10.2m), agency fees (€–6.3m), maintenance (€–6.6m), allowances
for bad debt (–€0.2m) and other directly attributable expenses (€–13.5m).
The net rental income generated by the rental activities after deduction of direct management costs increased by 4.9% from €192.8m to €202.2m.
The operating margin on letting activities (net rental income in relation to rental income), an indicator of the efficiency of the rental business, increased from 83.3% in the previous year to 84.6%.
Other expenditure directly attributable to project development stood at €–2.6m at year end (2023: €–1.2m).

Trading revenue of €26.0m was generated in 2024 in connection with the scheduled sale of properties held in current assets and construction services (2023: €131.2m). This income was offset by book value deductions and other directly attributable expenditure of €–14.5m. The trading portfolio thus contributed a total of €11.5m to the result (2023: €110.7m). Profit from the sale of investment properties of €4.3m was below the previous year's value of €68.5m. The main contribution to the result from trading and construction works and the result from the sale of investment properties was made by the sale of land plots in and around Munich and the sale of the Saski Point property in Warsaw. The decrease in the sales result compared to the previous year is mainly due to the exceptionally profitable sales performance of the previous year.
Gross revenue from services dropped by –33.8% to €1.8m (2023: €2.8m). This item mainly includes development revenues for third parties by the Group company omniCon, which was spun off from the company in January 2024. This also includes income from business relationships with related parties.
In 2024, indirect expenditures decreased by –16.5% from €–53.2m in the previous year to €–44.4m. The main reason for this is a significant reduction in personnel expenses. The ratio of indirect expenses to gross rental income decreased from 23.0% in 2023 to 18.6% in 2024.
As shown in the table above, the item "Own work capitalized" decreased to €5.8m (2023: €16.6m) due to a decline in development activity and the spin-off of the group company omniCon. This item may be regarded as an offsetting position to the indirect expenditures which counterbalance the portion of internal project development expenditure, provided it is directly attributable to individual development projects and thus qualifies for capitalisation.
Indirect expenses also contain expenditure counterbalancing the aforementioned gross revenue from services.
Other operating income amounted to a total of €2.0m compared to the 2023 reference value of €1.6m.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to €174.8m, down –45.7% on the previous year's figure of €322.1m. The individual regional segments contributed to the overall result as follows: with an EBITDA of €118.4m, the Germany segment generated by far the largest share of around 68%. The largest contribution from the CEE core markets was made by Poland, which generated EBITDA of €25.4m (around 15%), followed by Czechia with €21.4m (around 12%) and Hungary with €12.4m (around 7%). The Austria segment made a negative contribution of €–5.7m to the EBITDA (around –3%). The main reason for the year-onyear decline in EBITDA was the exceptionally profitable sales activity in the previous year.
The total revaluation gain of €30.9m in 2024 was counterbalanced by a revaluation loss of €–230.5m. The cumulative revaluation result based on independent external appraisals of €–199.6m was therefore significantly below the previous year's value (2023: €–532.0m).
The result reflects the continued gloomy market environment for office real estate. The economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and the effects of the war in Ukraine had already led to a sharp rise in inflation in previous years resulting in significantly higher interest rates and lower economic growth. In 2024, interest rates have fallen again but are still above pre-pandemic levels. The market environment continued to be characterised by a weak economy and geopolitical uncertainties. This affected the real estate markets in the form of lower demand for rental space, a sharp decline in transaction volumes and higher yields. In 2024, this also led to a decline in property valuations by external appraisers.
By region, the revaluation result in Germany amounted to €–87.9m (around 44%). CEE recorded negative value adjustments of €–100.4m (around 50%), and Austria €–11.4m (around 6%). Further information on property valuation can be found in the chapter "Property Valuation".
Current results of joint ventures consolidated at equity are reported under 'Result from joint ventures' in the consolidated income statement. In 2024 this contribution totalled €18.2m (2023: €–0.8m). The positive contribution from joint ventures is primarily attributable to a positive valuation result in the Eggartensiedlung JV in Munich, as well as recurringincome from the Zollhafen Mainz JV. This includes extraordinary contributions from successful property sales.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) totalled €–9.5m and is therefore higher compared to the corresponding figure for the previous year of €–217.6m.
In a regional breakdown, the Germany segment made the largest positive contribution to Group EBIT at €46.5m, followed by Czechia at €20.3m. Austria recorded an EBIT of €–17.5m in 2024, Hungary €–52.5m and Poland €–3.9m.
The financial result for 2024 was €–66.6m, compared to €–81.1m last year. In detail, the elements of the financial result developed as follows:
The Group's financing costs totalled €–55.1m (2023: €–54.5m). The main driver here were higher interest costs for bank loans compared to the previous year, particularly in connection with the financing of the completed construction project Hochhaus am Europaplatz in Berlin, as well as the refinancing of the previously unsecured investment property Grasblau in Berlin, which could not be offset by lower interest costs for unsecured financing due to the repayment of the €175m bond in February 2024.
In addition to interest paid as shown in the income statement, financing costs of €4.7m (2023: €6.0m) occurred in connection with the construction of real estate.
The result from derivatives came to €–21.4m (2023: €–34.4m). The majority of the result from derivatives came from the company's interest rate derivatives in the amount of €–21.5m (2023: €–34.6m).
At €9.4m, the result from financial investments was slightly lower compared to the figure for the reference period (2023: €10.8m). Other items of the financial result (other financial result and exchange rate differences) totalled €–1.3m (2023: €–3.0m).
Earnings before taxes (EBT) of €–76.1m (2023: €–298.7m) showed a less significant negative result as in the previous year.
Taxes on earnings amounted to €9.8m in 2024 (2023: €62.8m). The majority of this is attributable to deferred taxes for 2024, with the majority being deferred taxes (decrease in deferred tax liabilities due to the negative valuation result), as in 2023. The income from deferred taxes exceeded the actual income tax expense.
The result for the period for the discontinued operations in Romania was €0.0m (2023: €11.4m). The 2023 result was due to a subsequent purchase price adjustment and the release of provisions in connection with a positive result from a legal dispute.
At €–66.3m, consolidated net income for the period was above the previous year's figure of €–224.5m. Earnings per share amounted to €–0.68 (2023: €–2.28 per share).
Cash flow from operating activities includes changes in current assets relating to the sale of properties intended for trading and totaled €124.1m (2023: €239.3m).
Cash flow from investment activities, which essentially represents the net amount between investments in and sales of long-term property assets, amounted to €–83.1m in 2024, compared to the previous year's value of €252.9m. Cash flow from financing activities totaled €–66.3m (2023: €–574.1m).

FFO I of €120.0m was higher than in the previous year (€113.8m). FFO I per share amounted to €1.23 as of the reporting date, an increase of 6.1% over the previous year (2023: €1.16 per share). The guidance for the year of >€105m was thus exceeded. This is mainly driven by lower than expected administrative expenses in the fourth quarter, primarily due to reduced personnel provisions as well as lower legal and consulting fees. FFO I, a key indicator of the Group's recurring earnings power, is reported before taxes and adjusted for the property sales result and other non-recurring effects.
Adjusted non-recurring effects totalled €–2.5m (2023: €6.6m). These primarily related to administrative expenses financing expenses of €–1.5m, financing expenses in the amount of €–1.1m and operating expenses of €0.2m.
FFO II, including trading, other non-recurring results and after taxes, is an indicator for the Group's overall profitability and totalled €120.5m, compared to €224.7m in the previous year. FFO II per share amounted to €1.23 (2023: €2.49 per share). The year-on-year decrease is primarily due to the extraordinarily profitable sales activities in the previous year.

As of the balance-sheet date, long-term assets amounted to €4,853.0m (80.5% of total assets). The investment property assets as stated on the balance sheet amounted to €4,249.7m (31.12.2023: €4,743.4m). The decline in investment property assets is due to the sale of investment properties (ViE in Vienna and Saski Point in Warsaw), the reclassification of investment properties (amongst others including IP West in Budapest, SavaCity in Belgrade, Storchengasse in Vienna, Bitwy in Warsaw, InterCity in Berlin) to properties held for sale (IFRS 5), the reclassification of investment properties to investment properties under development (Am Karlsbad 11) and the valuation losses on investment properties as described above.
The balance sheet item 'investment properties under development' increased by 32.8% to €457.0m compared to 31 December 2023 due to ongoing investments in construction projects and the reclassification of the property Am Karlsbad 11. Total property assets (investment properties, own used properties, properties under development and properties held as current assets) amounted to €4,964.8m as of the reporting date and was thus below the level at the end of 2023 (€5,159.0m) due to the effects described above.
The net assets of joint ventures are shown in the balance sheet item 'Investments in joint ventures', which stood at €62.6m on the key date (31 December 2023: €48.0m).
Cash and cash equivalents (incl. cash deposits) stood at €797.3m on the balance sheet date, above the level at 31 December 2023 (€738.6m). The use of cash and cash equivalents included, among other things, the repayment of a corporate bond due in February 2024 (€175m). This was offset, among other things, by the cash inflow from profitable sales activities and the issuance of the €350m green bond in October 2024 (the issuance was linked to a €74.1m tender offer for the outstanding €350m green bond, which matures in October 2025).
The balance sheet equity decreased in 2024 by –6.0% from €2,724.6m at the end of last year to €2,562.2m. This figure reflects, among other factors, the net profit for the
period of €–66.3m and the dividend payment in May 2024.
Since the start of the year, the Group's total assets decreased by around –3.1% to €6,028.6m (31 December 2023: €6,221.8m). Due to the decrease in assets, the equity ratio of 42.5% on the key date stood slightly below the strategic target range of >45%(31 December 2023: 43.8%).
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to €2,720.8m on the reporting date, 1.9% above the previous year's figure of €2,670.1m. Net debt (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, cash deposits and restricted cash) remained almost unchanged at €1,895.9m (2023: €1,888.8m). Gearing (net debt to equity) stood at 74.0% at the end of the year (31.12.2023: 69.3%). The loan-tovalue ratio (net debt to property assets) was 38.2% on the key date, compared to 36.6% at the end of the previous year.
100% of the liabilities are in euros. The financing strategy of CA Immo provides for comprehensive hedging of the interest rate risk. For further details, see the "Financing" section.

The strategic focus of CA Immo's business activities is the long-term increase in the value of the company. This is accompanied by key financial indicators, which are important instruments for identifying the factors that contribute to a sustained increase in the value of the company and quantifying these factors for the purposes of value management. The key financial performance indicator is total shareholder return (TSR). It indicates the gross return that an investor/shareholder earns when he buys a share and holds it for a certain period of time. It is therefore made up of the price gains/losses plus dividends paid out in the period between buying and selling a share.
Another important financial performance indicator is the net income generated on the company's average equity (return on equity or RoE). The aim is to generate a figure higher than the calculated cost of capital, thus generating shareholder value. Based on the negative consolidated result, the RoE for financial year 2024 is in negative territory and therefore below the target value. The decrease compared to the previous years was mainly
driven by the negative property revaluation result. Nevertheless, with the successful strategy implementation of recent years and strong positioning of the CA Immo Group, the ground was prepared for generating a return on equity that exceeds the cost of equity over the long term (see the "Strategy" section).
Other quantitative factors used to measure and manage our shareholders' long-term return include NAV per share growth, operating cash flow per share, and Funds from Operations (FFO I and FFO II) per share (please refer to the table above and "Balance Sheet" and "Key Figures per Share" in the flap of the annual report).
As the financial indicators ultimately represent the success achieved in the operating real estate business, they are preceded by a number of other performance indicators, including non-financial indicators, that are essential for measuring and managing the operating business performance:
Global economic growth is expected to remain below the historical average, with the U.S. showing stronger performance while the Eurozone faces sluggish growth. Inflation is gradually easing, but still above pre-crisis levels. Central banks are cautiously loosening monetary policies, but risks such as geopolitical tensions, high debt, and slow productivity growth continue to weigh on the global economy. In the Eurozone, growth remains weak, and unemployment has slightly increased. At the same time, growth could be higher if easier financing conditions and falling inflation allow domestic consumption and investment to rebound faster. An increase in defence and infrastructure spending could also add to growth.
The weakening of real estate investment markets and declining property values as a result of high inflation and the rapid rise of interest rates presents challenges to the industry as a whole. We continue to operate in an uncertain market environment, with transaction markets that continue to be characterised by relatively low liquidity, longer decision-making lead times, and shifting preferences across occupiers, investors, and lenders, all impacting the performance of our, and our competitors, businesses. At the same time, prime office properties in central locations have performed comparatively stably in recent months, with significantly lower increases in vacancy rates and sustained growth in prime rents, particularly in the German core markets of CA Immo. Furthermore, the continuing sharp decline in new construction activity is likely to have a positive impact on future demand for prime office properties in good locations and offer opportunities for providers of premium office space in the coming years.
In view of these fundamental macroeconomic changes, we will continue to focus on securing and increasing our competitiveness and resilience. In doing so, we set the strategic priorities:
–Continuously improve capital structure and maintain IG financial policy.
Key factors that may influence the business development planned for 2025 include:
CA Immo intends to maintain its profit-oriented dividend policy. The amount of the dividend is based on the profitability, growth prospects and capital requirements of the CA Immo Group. At the same time, a continuous payout ratio of around 70% of recurring earnings (FFO I) is intended to maintain the continuity of the dividend development.
For the 2024 financial year, the Management Board proposes a dividend of €1.00 per share entitled to dividends at the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 5, 2025. The amount distributed in excess of the basic target of 70% of FFO I reflects the ongoing successful sales activities as part of the strategic capital rotation programme. Based on the closing price on December 31, 2024 (€23.32), the dividend yield is around 4.3%. The proposal for the appropriation of profits reflects the current assessment of the Management Board and Supervisory Board.
In order to ensure comparability with other listed property companies, CA Immo reports individual key figures in accordance with the standards of EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association), the leading interest group for listed property companies. These key figures may differ from the values determined in accordance with IFRS rules. CA Immo follows EPRA's 'Best Practice Recommendations' (www.epra.com).
With the publication of the EPRA Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines October 2019, the net asset value reporting was revised with the aim of better reflecting recent market and company developments. As a consequence, EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV were replaced by three new Net Asset Valuation metrics: EPRA Net Reinstatement Value, EPRA Net Tangible Assets and EPRA Net Disposal Value. CA Immo has only reported these key figures as of Q1 2021, which are defined by EPRA as follows:
| EPRA KEY FIGURES | |||

The objective of the EPRA Net Reinstatement Value measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a longterm basis. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded.
Since the aim of the metric is to also reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on its current capital and financing structure, related costs such as real estate transfer taxes should be included.
The underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability.
Shareholders are interested in understanding the full extent of liabilities and resulting shareholder value if company assets are sold and/or if liabilities are not held until maturity. For this purpose, the EPRA Net Disposal Value provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability, including tax exposure not reflected in the Balance Sheet, net of any resulting tax. This measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" because, in many cases, fair values do not represent liquidation values.
Net Asset Value (IFRS) stood at €2,562.1m on 31 December 2024 (€26.37 per share) against €2,724.5m at the end of 2023 (€27.88 per share); this represents a decrease of 6.0% (–5.4% per share).
EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) stood at €3,104.3m as at the reporting date, which is 5.4% lower than the value at year-end 2023 (€3,282.3m). This corresponds to an EPRA NTA per share of €31.95 –4.9% below the EPRA NTA as at 31 December 2023 of €33.59 per share. The comparative value (December 31, 2023) was adjusted due to a calculation error.
The number of shares in circulation on the reporting date was 97,154,743 (31 December 2023: 97,716,389).

1) Adjusted due to a calculation error
Loan-to-value (LTV) is a widely used metric in corporate reporting. However, as there is no predefined and generally accepted concept on how to calculate and report LTV, investors, analysts and financing professionals often find that the calculation of the ratio is inconsistent among different listed real estate companies and in different jurisdictions.
The objective of the EPRA LTV is to assess the gearing of the shareholders' equity within a real estate company. To achieve this goal, EPRA LTV provides adjustments to IFRS reporting.
The EPRA LTV is calculated on the basis of a proportional consolidation. This means that EPRA LTV includes the Group's share of the net debt and net assets of joint ventures or significant associated companies. Assets are recognized at fair value, net debt at nominal value.

The type and scope of yield disclosures often vary and the metrics used are not consistently defined. In order to provide comparable reporting in terms of yields across Europe, EPRA has defined two yield measures.
The EPRA Net Initial Yield is calculated as annualised rental income based on rents at the balance sheet date,
less non-refundable property operating costs, divided by the market value of the property. The EPRA "topped up" Net Initial Yield is calculated using an adjustment in respect of the granting of rent-free periods (or other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted lease periods and step-rents).

Vacancy rate reporting is not standardised across the real estate industry. In order to promote comparable and consistent reporting, the EPRA requirements specify a single, clearly defined vacancy rate disclosure. The EPRA Vacancy Rate is to be expressed as a percentage equal to the expected rental value of vacant space divided by the expected rental value of the entire portfolio. The EPRA Vacancy Rate is calculated only for completed properties (investment, trading and including share of joint ventures' vacancy), but excluding properties under development.

The EPRA Cost Ratios are aimed at providing a consistent baseline from which companies can provide further information around costs where appropriate. The EPRA recommendation therefore includes suggestions for how companies might provide this additional information.
The EPRA Cost Ratio shows the company's cost efficiency by comparing the proportional share of the operating and administrative expenses for investment property – both including and excluding direct vacancy costs – to gross rental income for the reporting period.

The following activities are reported for the opening months of business year 2025:
CA Immo continued its strategic capital rotation programme to focus the portfolio on high-quality, sustainable office properties in prime locations in early 2025.
During the balance sheet preparation period, the sale of two properties classified under IFRS 5 with a total book value of €51.3m was closed. In addition, the remaining shares in two German joint ventures were acquired at a purchase price of €0.16m.
Sarah Broughton will leave the Supervisory Board at the end of 31 March 2025. In her place, Mr Nicholas Chadwick will be appointed to the Supervisory Board of CA Immo by our core shareholder SOF-11 Klimt CAI S.à r.l. by means of a registered share with effect from 1 April 2025. Mr Chadwick holds the position of Managing Director and Head of Asset Management, Europe at Starwood Capital, where he has worked since June 2014. Prior to that, he worked in the real estate audit department of Ernst & Young's London office, where he qualified as a Chartered Accountant. As a result of his extensive expertise and industry experience, Mr Chadwick was elected by the Supervisory Board of CA Immo as the new Chairman of the Audit Committee.
The share buyback programme started in November 2024 was completed on 27.02.2025. In total, 1,869,605 bearer shares were purchased, corresponding to approximately 1.76% of the share capital. The highest price paid per share was €24.50, and the lowest was €21.50. The
weighted average price paid per share was €23.13, and the total value of the acquired shares amounted to €43,252,102.76. At the end of the buyback programme, CA Immo held 10,649,642 of its own shares (as of 31.12.2024: 9,341,683 own shares), which corresponds to 10.00% of the total number of issued shares.
For the 2024 financial year, the Management Board proposes a dividend of €1.00 per share entitled to dividends at the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 5, 2025. The amount distributed in excess of the basic target of 70% of FFO I reflects the ongoing successful sales activities as part of the strategic capital rotation programme. Based on the closing price on December 31, 2024 (€23.32), the dividend yield is around 4.3%. The proposal for the appropriation of profits reflects the current assessment of the Management Board and Supervisory Board.
Technological and social change continues to transform the office environment and the knowledge-based economy. To (re-)develop office properties today in such a way that they can be efficiently and profitably managed in the long term, CA Immo monitors changes to working processes and corporate requirements in terms of office space; at the same time, it trials new technical solutions along with space and building concepts on selected development projects.
CA Immo also actively participates in relevant platforms for the real estate sector (www.caimmo.com/memberships).
Successful management of existing and emerging risks is crucial to the sustainable economic success of CA Immo and the achievement of strategic goals. In order to exploit existing market opportunities and harness the potential for success they offer, risks must also be borne to an appropriate extent. Risk management and the internal control system (ICS) therefore form an integral part of the Group's corporate governance, which is understood as a principle of responsible corporate management.
CA Immo's risk management system is based on the following elements:
The Management Board, with the involvement of the Supervisory Board, determines the strategic orientation of the CA Immo Group and the nature and extent of the risks that the Group is prepared to assume in order to achieve its strategic goals. The Management Board is supported by the Risk Management Department in assessing the risk landscape and developing potential strategies to increase long-term stakeholder value. In addition, an internal risk committee has been set up with representatives from all divisions and the Chief Financial Officer, which meets quarterly or, if necessary, in special meetings. The aim of this committee is to additionally establish a regular, cross-functional valuation of the Group's risk situation, including the initiation of any necessary measures. This is intended to ensure that the company's orientation is optimized against the background of available alternatives.
At CA Immo, the opportunity/risk situation is assessed on a quarterly basis by the risk committee and every six months as part of reports prepared on the basis of the risk committee's findings, among other things. Risk evaluation takes place both at individual property and project level and at (sub)portfolio level. Early warning indicators such as rental forecasts, vacancy analyses, continuous monitoring of lease terms and termination options as well as continuous monitoring of construction costs for project realizations are included. Scenarios relating to the value development of the real estate portfolio, exit strategies and liquidity planning supplement risk reporting and increase planning certainty. CA Immo takes account of the precautionary principle in that multi-year planning and investment decisions cover the entire time horizon of capital expenditure.
In addition, CA Immo now carries out an annual inventory and evaluation of individual risks according to content, impact and probability of occurrence. An annual update is also carried out with regard to the estimated impact on the result, assets and liquidity of CA Immo ('extent of damage') and the probability of occurrence within a year. Measures and controls already implemented are taken into account in order to determine the net risk. This data serves the Management Board as a basis for determining the level and type of risk it deems acceptable in the pursuit of strategic goals. Once the Executive Board has approved the strategy, it is incorporated into the Group's three-year plan and helps to communicate the Group's risk appetite and expectations both internally and externally.
CA Immo's risk policy is specified by a series of guidelines. Compliance with these guidelines is continuously monitored and documented by means of control and management processes. Risk management is implemented on a binding basis at all levels of the company. The Management Board is involved in all risk-related decisions, takes risk-related aspects into account in its decisions and bears overall responsibility. Decisions are made at all levels in accordance with the principle of dual control. As an independent department, Internal Audit audits the operational and business processes; external experts are consulted if necessary. It is not bound by instructions when reporting and evaluating the audit results.
The effectiveness of risk management is assessed annually by the Group auditor in accordance with the requirements of C-Rule 83 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance. The results are reported to the Management Board and the Audit Committee.
In FY 2024, a risk aggregation model was created for the first time to calculate key figures for the overall scope of risk - value at risk (VaR) - and derived parameters such as risk-bearing capacity.
Risk aggregation (using Monte Carlo simulation) is the method used to determine the overall scope of risk resulting from the quantified individual risks, taking into account possible combination effects and stochastic dependencies.
The VaR is a strategic risk indicator that quantifies the extent of possible financial losses (risk exposure), e.g. within a company's risk portfolio over a certain period of time at a certain confidence level (e.g. 0.95, i.e. 95%).
The risk-bearing capacity results from the relationship between the risk coverage potential (e.g. equity and/or liquidity) and the VaR and relates to a possible development that could jeopardize the company's existence.
The result of the risk-bearing capacity analysis shows sufficient risk-bearing capacity as at the reporting date. Further optimization of the risk aggregation model is planned for FY 2025.
CA Immo's internal control system encompasses all principles, procedures and measures designed to ensure the effectiveness, efficiency and propriety of accounting and compliance with the relevant legal provisions and corporate guidelines. Taking management processes into account, the ICS is integrated into the individual business processes. The aim is to prevent or detect errors in accounting and financial reporting and thus ensure that they are corrected at an early stage. Transparent documentation enables the processes for accounting, financial reporting and auditing activities to be presented. All operational areas are integrated into the accounting process. Responsibility for implementing and monitoring the ICS lies with the relevant local management. The managing directors of the subsidiaries are required to evaluate and document compliance with the controls through self-audits. The effectiveness of the ICS is reviewed on a random basis by Group Internal Audit and the efficiency of the business processes is continuously evaluated. The results of the audit are reported to the respective management, the CA Immo Management Board as a whole and the audit committee at least once a year.
The economic success of CA Immo depends in part on the development of the real estate markets relevant to the Group. Key factors influencing economic development include the global economic situation as a whole, rental price trends, the rate of inflation, the level of national debt and interest rates. In the office real estate segment, factors such as economic growth, industrial activity, the unemployment rate, consumer confidence and other elements relevant to economic development also play a key role. All of these factors are outside the company's sphere of influence. They could have a negative impact on the entire European economy and thus also on economically strong nations such as Germany and Austria or have a negative impact on the financial and real estate sector as a whole. Any negative change in the economic situation could result in a decline in demand for properties, which in turn could affect the occupancy rate, property values or the liquidity of properties. Economic instability and limited access to debt and equity financing can lead to possible defaults by business partners and a general slowdown in market activity. If the real estate investment market lacks liquidity, there is a risk that it may not be possible to sell individual properties or only at unattractive conditions.
In addition to the development of general economic conditions and, in particular, rental prices, the value of properties is also dependent on initial yields in the real estate industry. The commercial real estate markets continue to be affected by a global economic downturn, which was originally triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic and has been prolonged, expanded and intensified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the trade dispute between China and the United States and, most recently, the conflict in the Middle East.
The overall economic development forecast for the current financial year in key CA Immo markets is stagnant to slightly recessive. Due to high energy prices by global standards, the effects of the war in Ukraine and the associated trade restrictions, EU regulatory pressure and an expansion of the US-initiated customs regime, many companies are facing increasing challenges in terms of international competitiveness.
The entire Group could be significantly impacted by these macroeconomic developments. Any such negative change in these or similar factors relating to the economic situation may lead to a decline in demand for both the Group's properties for sale and those let, thereby adversely affecting the Group's letting levels or the liquidity of the Group's properties. Due to the current uncertain macroeconomic situation in Europe, it is possible that the real estate market in the countries in which the Group operates will continue to develop unfavorably for the Group. This could result in rental income falling or being lower than expected or the occupancy rate of the Group's properties being lower than expected. Depending on further market and interest rate developments, rising capital costs may also necessitate additional value adjustments at CA Immo level.
In view of the risks outlined above, CA Immo regularly reviews its own property valuations. Following an almost complete external valuation of the Group's portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2024, the values for the property assets as at the reporting date of December 31, 2024 were adjusted on the basis of binding purchase agreements and external valuations. Taking into account the current exceptional market conditions and the current low level of transactions, a high degree of caution must be applied to property valuations. Further information on the changes in fair values can be found in the "Property valuation" section.
CA Immo counters market risk through broad diversification across various countries. CA Immo counters country risk by concentrating on strategic core markets with local branches and its own employees on the ground, and by adjusting regional allocation within the core markets. The focus here is on cities that exhibit long-term structural trends such as increasing urbanization, positive demographic change and structural supply shortages, as well as high investment liquidity. Market knowledge, ongoing evaluation of the strategy, continuous monitoring of the portfolio and targeted portfolio management as part of strategic decisions (e.g. definition of exit strategies, medium-term planning for sales) enable a timely response to economic and political events.
CA Immo prevents any transfer risk through the targeted repatriation of liquid funds from investment markets with weaker credit ratings. Active portfolio management is designed to prevent concentration risks and maintain a balanced portfolio structure. CA Immo currently operates in Germany, Austria and selected CEE markets. With a share of around 68% of the total portfolio, Germany is currently CA Immo's largest single market. CA Immo is part of the EPRA Developed Europe Index, which supports capital market positioning and the overall rating. The aim is to achieve an aggregate EBITDA contribution of more than 50% from Germany, Austria and Poland. In terms of asset classes, CA Immo concentrates on modern, high-quality office properties with a focus on prime inner-city locations. The development business area primarily develops high-quality office properties for its own portfolio. It also develops land and, to a lesser extent, construction projects with other types of use such as residential, which are generally sold following successful development or completion.
Individual investments should not permanently exceed 5% of total property assets. Exceptions are possible subject to approval. At the balance sheet date, only the existing building ONE in Frankfurt falls into this category. The concentration risk in relation to individual tenants is manageable: as at December 31, 2024, 29% of rental income was generated by ten top tenants. With a share of around 6% of total rental income, KPMG followed by PricewaterhouseCoopers with 3,7% were the largest single tenants in the portfolio. In general, no more than 5% of total annual rental income should be attributable to single tenants over a longer period of time, although tenants with excellent credit ratings (AAA/AA) may be an exception. The following applies to single-tenant buildings: such scenarios should be avoided unless the tenant's credit rating is classified as excellent (AAA/AA). Singletenant scenarios are defined as cases in which more than 75% of the annual rental income (individual property level) is attributable to a single tenant. In principle, rental income from single-tenant properties may not exceed 20% of total annual rental income. In addition, the average lease term for single-tenant properties should be more than ten years.
Other risk concentrations resulting from factors such as the portfolio of several properties with a fair value of more than €100m in the same city, the sector mix of tenants, the identity of contractual partners, suppliers or lenders, etc., which cannot be effectively measured or limited in quantitative terms, are subject to regular review.
Political and economic developments in countries in which CA Immo operates also have a significant impact on occupancy rates and rent defaults. If the Group is unable to extend expiring leases on favorable terms and to find suitable creditworthy tenants or retain them on a long-term basis, this impairs the earning power and fair value of the properties concerned. The creditworthiness of a tenant, especially during an economic downturn, can fall in the short or medium term, which can affect rental income. In critical situations, the Group may decide to reduce rents in order to maintain an acceptable occupancy rate.
All of CA Immo's core markets continued to experience a challenging operating environment due to the current economic conditions and the effects of the Russia/ Ukraine conflict, characterized in particular by a significant slowdown in transaction activity. If there is also a significant slowdown in letting activity, longer marketing and vacancy periods for units that have not been let can also be expected in the future. As demand for office space is primarily dependent on macroeconomic developments, it remains to be seen how office space turnover will develop in the 2025 financial year. This is particularly relevant for Germany, where the majority of CA Immo's existing portfolio is located and for which the majority of economists forecast extremely weak GDP growth in 2025. Although the trend towards flexible or hybrid working ("work-from-home") has now become established, it remains unclear how this trend will affect demand for office properties in the medium term. It cannot be ruled out that the trends towards flexible office space rentals and co-working could have an even greater impact on the office market in the future.
CA Immo counters the risk of rent defaults by analyzing the property portfolio, tenant structure and cash flow, among other things, and carries out various analysis scenarios to assess the risks. A case-by-case assessment is always required here. Thanks to targeted monitoring and proactive measures (e.g. requiring security deposits, checking tenants for creditworthiness and reputation), the Group's rent default risk has remained at a low level despite the recent negative impact of the pandemic on individual tenants. All outstanding receivables are valued on a quarterly basis and adjusted according to their risk content. A default risk was adequately taken into account in the recognition of the property value. By far the majority of the Group's rental agreements contain value protection clauses, mostly with reference to the country-specific consumer price index. As a result, the amount of income from such rental agreements and from new rentals is heavily dependent on inflation.
In the letting market, competition for well-known tenants has become even more intense in the 2024 financial year; rents are under pressure in many markets. CA Immo may be forced to accept lower rents in order to remain attractive to tenants. In addition, misjudgements about the attractiveness of a location or its potential use could make letting more difficult or severely impair the desired rental conditions.
To a lesser extent, the Group's portfolio also includes other asset classes such as shopping centers and hotels, the operation of which is associated with its own risks. Poor management of the building or its tenants, falling visitor numbers and the increasingly competitive situation can lead to falling rents or the loss of important tenants and thus to rent losses and problems with new lettings. Although CA Immo does not operate any hotels itself, its earnings position is influenced by the quality of external hotel management and developments on the hotel markets.
Real estate development projects typically only incur costs in the initial phase. Income is only generated in later project phases. Development projects can often involve cost overruns and delays in completion, frequently caused by factors outside the control of CA Immo. This can impair the commercial success of individual projects and lead to contractual penalties or claims for damages. If no suitable tenants can be found, this can lead to vacancies after completion.
Construction costs have stabilized at a high level until 2024 (+ approx. 40% in 5 years). Due to the general cost situation (energy, labor, materials), the forecast increase for 2025 and 2026 in Germany is in line with expected inflation. Changes may occur due to geopolitical and/or economic events.
The Group's development projects are generally associated with numerous risks, some of which are exacerbated by the current inflationary environment. Developments may take longer than expected due to delays caused by various factors. These include a shortage of labor and suitable contractors and other general problems related to construction work, supply chain constraints or saturation of the construction industry, particularly in Germany, one of the Group's core markets, and even weather or environmental conditions. This could affect the (timely) availability of construction services.
Any such delay in the commencement or completion of construction work may result in local and regional authorities refusing to renew the Group's temporary or expired land use agreements or building permits for the Group's properties, and such authorities or third parties may assert repurchase rights or cancel existing land use agreements or building permits on the grounds that construction work was not completed by a specified date or that other material terms or provisions of land use agreements, building permits or purchase agreements have been breached.
CA Immo has taken a number of measures to manage these risks as far as possible (cost controls, variance analyses, multi-year liquidity planning, etc.). With few exceptions, projects are only launched once a corresponding pre-letting rate has been achieved that can cover future debt service through rental income. An exception is only made in special constellations of the project and/or market situation (e.g. extreme regional shortage of rentable areas with foreseeable rising rents and low letting risk during the project phase). Such exceptions require explicit examination when obtaining project approval.
For CA Immo risks arise with regard to (timely) availability of construction work, construction prices and quality. This has recently been noticeable not only in Germany – the core market for investment properties under development - but in all of CA Immo's core regions. Despite pricing in project reserves, it cannot be ruled out that a further rise in construction costs could pose risks to budget compliance and overall project success. Despite defensive project costing, there is also a risk that current real estate yields will change and reduce the targeted project profit (developer profit). CA Immo is therefore also increasingly relying on appropriate market and cost analyses in the development sector. Particularly in the current market conditions, which have been tested by higher interest rates, and a general increase in market uncertainty and volatility, the addition of a higher uncertainty factor is unavoidable for investment properties under development with rising construction costs, supply and timing problems, fluctuating financing rates, uncertain marketing periods and a lack of current comparative values.
Property values could therefore fluctuate much more than would be the case under normal circumstances.
CA Immo creates sustainable value through a comprehensive value chain ranging from letting and management to construction, planning and development of investment properties with strong competencies within the company. This reduces functional (performance) risks and maximizes opportunities along this value chain (developer profit). However, specific risks (e.g. approval risk) also offer considerable potential for value increases by obtaining or improving building rights. The risks are regularly reduced through the sale of non-strategic land reserves. On the remaining areas, land development is being driven forward using the company's own capacities. Overall, CA Immo strives for a balanced portfolio; on the basis of book values, this means around 85-90% high-yield investment properties and around 10-15% developments under construction, including land reserves. By far the largest project currently under construction, upbeat (scheduled for completion in Q1 2026) in Berlin, is 100% pre-let and is continuously evaluated in terms of cost risk. In recent two years, a large number of projects have been successfully completed – in particular ONE in Frankfurt and, Hochhaus am Europaplatz – which means that this risk can be regarded as significantly reduced due to the much smaller development pipeline.
CA Immo also realizes investment properties under development in joint ventures and is partly dependent on partners and their ability to pay and perform (partner risk). The Group is also exposed to the credit risk of its counterparties. Depending on the respective agreement, CA Immo may also be jointly and severally liable with its co-investors for costs, taxes or other third-party claims and may have to bear their credit risk or their share of costs, taxes or other liabilities in the event of default by its co-investors.
Interest rates are highly dependent on external factors that are beyond CA Immo's control, such as fundamental monetary and fiscal policy, national and international economic and political developments, inflation factors, budget deficits, trade surpluses or deficits and regulatory requirements. The cost of servicing interest rates increases when the respective reference interest rate rises.
The inflation rate in the EU rose again slightly in Q4/24 to 2.4% (12/24), but the EU Commission expects it to continue to approach the ECB's 2% target in FY 2025 and 2026. The services sector and recently rising gas prices are having an impact here.
Against this backdrop, the ECB lowered its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 2.75% in January 2025. Further interest rate cuts are likely for FY 2025. However, the general increase in uncertainty in the environment, such as the rise in geopolitical tensions in connection with a (renewed) disruption of supply chains, an expansion of the US-initiated customs regime and possible further crises and expansionary fiscal policies (like the recent amendment to loosen the German debt brake) could push the timing and extent of further interest rate cuts below market expectations or fuel inflation and further restrict the ECB's room for maneuver.
Market-related fluctuations in interest rates affect both the level of the financing rate and the fair value of interest rate hedges entered into. CA Immo relies on the use of domestic and foreign banks and the issue of corporate bonds for financing and ensures that the interest rate hedging ratio is as high as possible. Derivative financial instruments (interest rate caps, interest rate swaps and interest rate floors) are increasingly being used to hedge against the threat of interest rate changes and the associated fluctuations in financing costs. However, such hedging transactions could turn out to be inefficient or unsuitable for achieving targets or lead to losses affecting the income statement. Furthermore, the valuation of derivatives could have a negative impact on earnings or shareholders'equity. The extent to which the Group makes use of derivative instruments depends on the assumptions and market expectations with regard to future interest rate
levels, in particular the 3-month Euribor. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, this can lead to a considerable increase in interest expenses.
Permanent monitoring of the risk of interest rate changes is therefore essential. CA Immo's financing strategy is based on a balanced mix of secured bank financing and unsecured capital market financing. At present, around 98% of the total financing volume is accounted for by fixed-interest financing (including in the form of corporate bonds) or financing secured by derivatives.
(Re)financing on the financial and capital markets is one of the most important measures for real estate companies. CA Immo requires debt in particular to refinance existing financial liabilities and to finance investment properties under development and acquisitions. As a result, it is dependent on the willingness of banks and the capital market to provide additional capital or to extend existing financing on reasonable terms. The market conditions for real estate financing are constantly changing. The attractiveness of financing options depends on a number of factors, not all of which can be influenced by the Group (market interest rates, collateral required, etc.). This can significantly affect the Group's ability to increase the percentage of completion of its development portfolio, to invest in suitable acquisition projects or to meet its obligations under financing agreements.
From today's perspective, the CA Immo Group has sufficient liquidity. Nevertheless, restrictions must be taken into account at the level of individual subsidiaries, as access to cash and cash equivalents is restricted due to commitments on current projects or there is a need for liquidity in some cases to stabilize loans. There is also the risk that planned sales activities cannot be realized or can only be realized with a delay or below price expectations. Other risks include unforeseen additional funding obligations for project financing and breaches of covenants in the area of property financing or corporate bonds issued by CA Immo. If these covenants are breached or in the event of default, the respective contractual partners would be entitled to call in financing and demand immediate repayment. This could force the Group to sell properties or take out refinancing on unfavorable terms.
CA Immo has fluctuating holdings of liquid funds, which it invests in line with operational and strategic requirements and objectives. In order to maintain the longterm issuer investment grade rating from Moody's (currently Baa3 with a stable outlook), the company must also have an adequate equity base, solid interest cover and a sufficiently large pool of unencumbered properties.
CA Immo counters any risk with the continuous monitoring of covenant agreements and extensive liquidity planning and hedging. The financial impact of strategic objectives is also taken into account. To manage liquidity peaks, the Group also has a revolving credit facility (RCF) with a volume of €300m at the level of the parent company. This ensures that unforeseen liquidity requirements can also be met throughout the Group. This RCF is currently undrawn. In line with the investment horizon for properties, loans are generally concluded on a long-term basis. The basic rule is that appropriate financing (e.g. loan, bond) must be guaranteed before binding contracts are concluded in connection with property purchases. In the past, capital partnerships (joint ventures) were also entered into at project level as an alternative and supplement to the previous sources of (equity) capital procurement.
Despite careful planning, a liquidity risk cannot be ruled out due to the inability to draw down funds, particularly from joint venture partners. In addition, CA Immo Germany has a high capital commitment, which is typical for investment properties under development. The financing of all projects already under construction is secured. Additional financing is required for new projects to be launched.
All companies are subject to income tax in the respective country with regard to both current income and capital gains. Significant discretionary decisions must be made in connection with the amount of tax provisions to be recognized. The extent to which deferred tax assets are to be recognized must also be determined.
Income from the sale of investments may be fully or partially exempt from income tax if certain conditions are met. Even if the intention is to meet the conditions, deferred tax liabilities are still recognized in full for the property assets in accordance with IAS 12.
Significant assumptions must also be made as to the extent to which deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards can be offset against taxable profits in the future and thus deferred tax assets can be recognized. Uncertainties exist regarding the amount and timing of future income and the interpretation of complex tax regulations. In the case of uncertainties regarding the income tax treatment of business transactions, an assessment is required as to whether the competent tax authority is likely to accept the interpretation of the tax treatment of the transaction or not. On the basis of this assessment, the CA Immo Group recognizes the tax obligations in the event of uncertainty at the amount classified as most probable. However, uncertainties and complexities may result in future tax payments being significantly higher or lower than the obligations currently estimated as probable and recognized in the balance sheet.
The CA Immo Group holds a significant portion of its real estate portfolio in Germany, where numerous complex tax regulations must be observed. These include, in particular, (i) regulations on the transfer of hidden reserves to other assets, (ii) statutory provisions on real estate transfer tax and the possible incurrence of real estate transfer tax in the case of direct and indirect changes of shareholders in German partnerships and corporations, (iii) the tax recognition of outsourcing of operating facilities, (iv) the allocation of trade income to several permanent establishments or (v) the deduction of input tax on construction costs for development projects. The CA Immo Group takes every step to comply with all tax regulations. Nevertheless, there are circumstances - including those outside the sphere of influence of the CA Immo Group - such as changes in the shareholding structure, changes in legislation or changes in interpretation by the tax authorities and courts, which may result
in the aforementioned tax issues having to be treated differently than before and may therefore have an impact on the recognition of taxes in the consolidated financial statements.
There are also uncertainties regarding the possible retroactive application of subsequent tax changes in connection with past restructuring in Central and Eastern Europe. However, CA Immo considers the probability of an actual burden to be low.
With regard to the tax deductibility of service charges within the Group, CA Immo always strives to charge an arm's length price for internal services and to document this adequately in order to meet all legal requirements (transfer pricing documentation). However, there is also the possibility that the tax authorities may take a different view and come to their own conclusions, which could lead to tax consequences with regard to the deductibility of internal service charges made in the past and thus trigger subsequent tax payments.
The actual and final asset losses from the liquidation of holding companies in Cyprus were claimed for tax purposes in Austria (spread over seven years). It cannot be completely ruled out that the tax authorities may take a different view with regard to the amount or recognition.
A reintroduction of national currencies or profound upheavals within the European Monetary Union could lead to increased currency volatility.
CA Immo operates on a number of markets outside the eurozone and is therefore exposed to various currency risks. To the extent that rental payments on these markets are made in currencies other than the euro and are not fully adjusted to current exchange rates, changes in exchange rates may result in a reduction in incoming payments. If expenses and capital expenditure are not made in euros, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the solvency of Group companies and have a negative impact on the Group's results and earnings.
CA Immo counters any risk by generally hedging foreign currency inflows by pegging tenants to the euro, so there is currently no significant direct risk.
There is an indirect currency risk due to the fact that rents are linked to the tenants' economic creditworthiness, which could lead to payment bottlenecks or even rent defaults. However, incoming payments are predominantly made in local currency, which is why the available free liquidity (incoming rent less operating costs) is converted into euros immediately after receipt. This process is continuously monitored by the responsible country manager. There is no currency risk on the liabilities side. Currency risks from construction projects are hedged as required and on a case-by-case basis. This is based on the contract and rental agreement currency, the expected exchange rate development and the calculation rate.
As a result of the higher interest rate environment, geopolitical uncertainties and the economic downturn in CA Immo's core markets and Germany in particular, the transaction activity on the real estate market was also extremely low in 2024. The risk of transactions being paused or even canceled due to problems with pricing, availability and financing costs remains high.
Sales may give rise to risks from contractual agreements and assurances that are based on a guarantee of certain rental cash flows that could subsequently reduce the agreed or received purchase prices. Sufficient provisions have been made in the balance sheet for known income risks from sales and any liquidity risk has been taken into account in liquidity planning. Contractual obligations in the form of subsequent costs (e.g. residual construction work) are recognized in corresponding project cost estimates.
Weaknesses in the CA Immo Group's structural and procedural organization may lead to unexpected losses or result in additional expenditure. This risk may be based on inadequacies in IT and other information systems, human error and inadequate internal control procedures. Faulty program sequences and automated IT and information systems that do not take account of the business volume in terms of type and scope or are vulnerable to cybercrime (IT and cyber risks) pose a high operational risk.
According to estimates from reputable sources (Allianz, Bafin, BSI), the general cyber threat situation is very high, exacerbated by the wide range of possibilities offered by the use of AI to support and accelerate attacks. With regard to CA Immo, the measures implemented to date have a strong risk-reducing effect.
Human risk factors include a lack of understanding of the corporate strategy, a lack of internal risk controls (particularly business process controls), excessive decisionmaking authority at an individual level, which can lead to ill-considered actions, or too many decision-making bodies, which prevent a flexible response to market changes. Some property management and other administrative tasks are outsourced to external third parties. It is possible that know-how about the real estate under management and administrative processes is lost in the course of transferring administrative tasks, or that CA Immo is unable to identify and contractually bind suitable service providers within the required time frame.
The expertise of a company and its employees represents a significant competitive factor and is a unique selling point compared to the competition. The departure of employees in key functions therefore poses an acute risk of loss of expertise, which can usually only be compensated for with a high investment of company resources (money, time, recruitment of new staff) (HR risk).
CA Immo counters these risk factors with various measures: Process organization (system/process integration) is clearly anchored; continuous activities are undertaken to ensure the sustainability of operational processes. The Group structure is regularly scrutinized and
checked to ensure that the prescribed structures take account of the size of the company. CA Immo prevents personnel know-how risks that may arise from the termination of central knowledge carriers through regular knowhow transfer (training) and documentation of know-how (manuals, etc.) as well as forward-looking personnel planning.
The Group companies are involved in legal disputes on both the plaintiff and defendant side in the course of their ordinary business activities. These are conducted in different jurisdictions. The applicable law in each case, the varying degrees of efficiency of the competent courts and the complexity of the matters in dispute may in some cases result in considerable length of proceedings or other delays. CA Immo assumes that it has made adequate provisions for legal disputes. There are currently no pending or imminent court or arbitration proceedings that entail existential risks.
In spring 2020, CA Immo filed two claims for damages against the Republic of Austria and the State of Carinthia for EUR 1million and provisionally €1.9 billion due to unlawful and culpably biased influencing of the best bidder procedure in the context of the privatization of the federal housing companies in 2004 ("BUWOG") and the unlawful non-award to CA Immo.
In the first civil proceedings concerning the claim of EUR 1m, an appeal is pending before the Supreme Court on the question of the statute of limitations for claims for damages, after the Court of Appeal confirmed the nonstatute of limitations in favor of CA Immo. A decision is expected in the first half of 2025. . The second civil proceeding concerning the claim of EUR 1.9 billion is provisionally suspended until a final judgment in the first proceeding.
The first-instance criminal judgments of the "BUWOG criminal proceedings" of January 2022 against the defendants former Federal Finance Minister Grasser et al., which are relevant for these two civil proceedings and are not legally binding, essentially confirmed from CA Immo's point of view that illegal and biased actions to the detriment of CA Immo were taken in connection with the BUWOG privatization proceedings. In the criminal proceedings, the Supreme Court will probably decide on the appeals at the end of March 2025 and this decision may significantly change the opportunities and risks in the
civil proceedings. However, a final assessment will only be possible once the final written decisions are available.
Changes in legal norms, case law or administrative practice and their impact on economic results and operations are unpredictable and may have a negative effect on the value of properties or the cost structure of the CA Immo Group in particular. CA Immo takes numerous proactive measures to counter such legal risks. These include the regular valuation of historical and existing legal risks, the ongoing monitoring of legislative changes and changes in case law, the implementation of lessons learned in our business processes and continuous information and training measures.
Current developments on the capital market (e.g. EU Green Deal) and new legal requirements are creating pressure for companies to report more strongly than before on ESG risks resulting from their business activities.
The consideration of sustainability aspects is anchored in the risk policy and the Risk Manual. Sustainability risks were identified and updated as part of the defined risk management process. Due to the particular relevance in connection with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the CSRD, further details are provided in the Sustainability Report.
The risk of corruption is taken into account, for example, by the Code of Conduct ("Zero Tolerance") and the associated anti-corruption guideline. Responsibility for measures to prevent and detect corruption and bribery and thus minimize the risk of corruption - is the central responsibility of the Corporate Office & Compliance department, which takes a Group-wide holistic approach in this regard. This includes the provision of a code of conduct (primarily via the two guidelines already mentioned) and the associated comprehensive mandatory training for each individual employee. Guidelines and any changes to them are communicated throughout the Group and can be accessed in their current form on the intranet. Mandatory training on the prevention and detection of corruption and bribery as well as dealing with conflicts of interest is initially provided as part of onboarding and must then be completed annually by every employee. In addition, training focuses on particularly affected business areas (operational business units that are in direct contact with business partners, tenants or service providers).
Employees are required to report any suspicions internally. In addition, employees and external third parties have the option of reporting suspected misconduct anonymously via the electronic whistleblower system set up by CA Immo on the company website. The Supervisory Board is informed of measures taken to combat corruption at least once a year. Corruption-related matters are audited on the basis of the audit plan approved by the audit committee or on the basis of special audit mandates from the Management Board, audit committee or full Supervisory Board. All operating Group companies are regularly audited for corruption risks.
To reduce the risk of money laundering and prevent the financing of terrorism, relevant processes are firmly established within the company and are continuously monitored by the Corporate Office & Compliance department. Comprehensive Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are carried out on potential contractual partners for real estate transactions and prior to the conclusion of rental agreements, whereby the business partners are checked with regard to their beneficial owner, PeP status, domicile in high-risk countries and inclusion in sanctions lists.
In the area of governance, we pay particular attention to compliance with laws, our internal guidelines for contractual partners, for example with regard to corporate ethics, ensuring compliance and measures to combat corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism, thus helping to minimize compliance risks in this regard.
We require our contractors and suppliers (providers) to recognize the governance, social and environmental standards we have defined as early as the tendering process. CA Immo checks its business partners – including
construction companies in particular – as part of the tendering process not only in terms of their professional qualifications and economic situation, but also with regard to social aspects. As part of third-party compliance, bidders who do not at least promise to fulfill the following points in their bid are excluded from the award process:
Details of our key standards and the associated control mechanisms can be found on our website (www.caimmo.com/values).

At the 36th Annual General Meeting on 4May 2023, the Management Board was authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the capital stock (also in several tranches and with the possible exclusion of subscription rights) by up to €154,845,809.22 (around 20% of the current capital stock) by issuing up to 21,299,286 no-par value bearer shares in return for cash or non-cash contributions.
At the same Annual General Meeting, the Management Board was authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to issue convertible bonds up to a total nominal amount of €653,621,839.12 until 3May 2028 at the latest, with which conversion and/or subscription rights to up to 21,299.286 bearer shares in the company with a pro rata amount of the capital stock of up to €154,845,809.22
(contingent capital 2023), also in several tranches, and to determine all other conditions, the issue and the conversion procedure for the convertible bonds. The convertible bonds can be issued against cash contributions and also against contributions in kind. Shareholders' subscription rights have been excluded (direct exclusion). Convertible bonds may only be issued in accordance with this authorization if the sum of the new shares for which conversion and/or subscription rights are granted with such convertible bonds does not exceed 20% of the company's capital stock at the time this authorization is granted.
As at 31 December 2024, there is unused authorized capital of €154,845,809.22, which can be utilized until 27 September 2028 at the latest, as well as conditional capital of €154,845,809.22 to service convertible bonds, which can be issued in the future on the basis of the authorization of the Annual General Meeting on 4May 2023 (conditional capital 2023).
At the 36th Annual General Meeting on 4May 2023, the Management Board was authorized in accordance with Section 65 para. 1 no. 8 and para. 1a and para. 1b AktG for a period of 30months from the date of the resolution, i.e. until 3 November 2025 at the latest, to acquire treasury shares in the company to the maximum extent permitted by law with the approval of the Supervisory Board. The consideration to be paid for the repurchase may not be lower than 30% below and not higher than 10% above the average, unweighted closing price on the stock exchange on the ten trading days preceding the repurchase. The Management Board must determine the other buyback conditions, whereby the acquisition may be carried out via the stock exchange, by means of a public offer or in another legally permissible and appropriate manner, i.e. also off-market and/or by individual shareholders and excluding the right to tender shares on a pro rata basis (reverse subscription right). The authorization may be exercised in whole or in part or in several partial amounts and in pursuit of one or more purposes by the company, its affiliated companies (Section 189a no. 8 UGB) or for their account by third parties. The repeated exercise of this authorization is also permitted. The Management Board was also authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to resell the acquired treasury shares in any legally permissible manner without a further resolution by the Annual General Meeting and to determine the conditions of sale or to withdraw the treasury shares.
Based on the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 4May 2023, the Management Board of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG resolved on 11 November 2024 to carry out a buyback program for treasury shares in accordance with Section 65 para. 1 no. 8 AktG. The volume amounts to up to 1,869,606 shares (this corresponds to around 1.76% of the company's current capital stock). The share buyback program provides for the purchase of shares via the stock exchange. The conditions for these purchases are based on the authorization. In particular, the consideration to be paid for the repurchase must be within the range of the authorization resolution of the Annual General Meeting and may not be lower than a maximum of 30% below and not higher than a maximum of 10% above the average, unweighted closing price on the stock exchange on the ten trading days preceding the repurchase. Furthermore, the maximum equivalent value shall not be higher than the most recently published IFRS NAV per share. The buyback program began on 28 November 2024 and will end on 3 November 2025 at the latest. The buyback will be carried out for any purpose permitted by the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. A general key objective is to increase shareholder value.
The share buyback programme was completed on 27.02.2025. In total, 1.869.605 bearer shares (ISIN: AT0000641352) were purchased, corresponding to approximately 1.76% of the share capital. The highest price paid per share was €24.50, and the lowest was €21.50. The weighted average price paid per share was €23.13, and the total value of the acquired shares amounted to €43.252.102.76. At the end of the buyback programme, CA Immo held 10.649.642 of its own shares (as of December 31, 2024: 9,341,683 treasury shares), which corresponds to approximately 10.00% of the total number of issued shares.
A total of 561,646 treasury shares were acquired in 2024. As at 31.12.2024, CA Immo therefore held 9,341,683 treasury shares, corresponding to around 8.77% of the total number of voting shares issued. Details of the transactions carried out as part of the share buyback programs and any changes to the current share buyback program are published on the company's website (www.caimmo.com/share-buyback).
In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Management Board of CA Immo consists of one, two or three persons. The age limit for Management Board members is set in the Articles of Association at the age of 65. The duration of the last term of office as a Management Board member ends at the end of the Ordinary General Meeting following the 65th birthday. The Supervisory Board consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of twelve members. Supervisory Board members delegated by means of registered shares can be removed at any time by the persons entitled to delegate them and replaced by others. The provisions of the Articles of Association regarding the duration of the term of office and the election of replacements do not apply to them. The remaining Supervisory Board members are elected by the Annual General Meeting. The age limit for Supervisory Board members is set in the Articles of Association at the age of 70. Supervisory Board members leave the Supervisory Board at the end of the Annual General Meeting following their 70th birthday. The Annual General Meeting decides on the removal of members of the Supervisory Board with a majority of at least three quarters of the votes cast (Article 21 of the Articles of Association).
As a result of the Remuneration Policy for the Management Board and Supervisory Board, which was also newly adopted in 2023, the new Management Board contracts concluded in the financial year 2023 contain commitments for benefits following a change of control ("change of control" provisions) as part of the LTI program. The details are set out in section 2.3.2. of the Remuneration Policy, which can be accessed online www.caimmo.com/en/remuneration).
Section 5 (4) of the Terms and Conditions of the Green Bond 2024-2030 issued in October 2024 stipulates that in the event of a change of control - as defined in the Terms and Conditions - bondholders have the right to demand that the issuer redeem all or part of its bonds at the redemption amount or, at the issuer's discretion, purchase them (or arrange for them to be purchased). The capital market prospectus dated October 28, 2024 is available in English at https://www.caimmo.com/en/investor-relations/bonds/corporate-bonds/green-bond-2024-2030/.
This voluntary report shows our strategic positioning, goals, measures and key figures in the area of sustainability and provides an overview of corresponding activities in 2024.
Our reporting is guided by international standards, including the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG), the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
As at the reporting date, CA Immo is not required to report under the CSRD. The original mandatory application of the CSRD for CA Immo from the 2025 financial year is dependent on the final wording and the final resolution of the omnibus regulation presented in draft form at the end of February 2025. The thematic structure and content of the ESRS have been partially reflected but not fully implemented – this report should therefore be read as a first step towards the new reporting standards.
At the end of February 2025, the European Commission published a new package of proposals to simplify EU rules – incl. changes on the CSRD, CSDDD, and EU Taxonomy (Omnibus proposals). These changes introduced have not been reflected in this report.

The sustainability statement was prepared on a consolidated basis for the CA Immo Group. The information and key figures included cover all CA Immo employees as well as properties and subsidiaries in which CA Immo holds a stake of at least 51% and over which the company therefore has operational control.
Parts of the upstream and downstream value chain were reflected in the assessment of the materiality of the company's impacts, risks and opportunities as well as in individual measures and indicators.
In addition to our annual reporting, we are continuously assessed by established ESG rating agencies. CA Immo is ranked in the VÖNIX sustainability index of the Vienna Stock Exchange (www.voenix.at).

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board are made up of experienced experts who have extensive knowledge and expertise that is essential for the sustainable development and long-term success of the business model. All members of the management bodies have extensive expertise in the areas relevant to our field of activity, such as accounting, property valuation, project development, corporate management and mergers & acquisitions. This broad professional basis ensures qualified strategic management, sound decision-making and compliance with high governance standards.
The Management Board is responsible for the strategic direction, operational management and sustainable development of the Group. Its core tasks include the development and implementation of the corporate strategy, the efficient allocation of resources and the monitoring and management of all business activities. In doing so, the Management Board ensures that legal and regulatory requirements are met and promotes a value-orientated corporate culture. A particular focus is on strengthening competitiveness, ensuring long-term value creation and fulfilling our responsibility towards our stakeholders.
The duties of the Supervisory Board include reviewing and approving important decisions, such as corporate strategies, budget planning and approval, acquisitions or new property developments. It also appoints and dismisses the members of the Management Board and monitors their work. The Supervisory Board therefore plays a key role in ensuring corporate governance and securing its long-term success. The Supervisory Board plays a central role in financial and sustainability reporting, as all reports to be published by the Group are reviewed and discussed between the Management Board and the Supervisory Board prior to publication. Finally, the Remuneration Committee is responsible for evaluating and monitoring the achievement of Management Board targets as part of the remuneration policy, whereby ESG targets are considered as part of the operational targets.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the impacts, risks and opportunities in connection with sustainability aspects.
The definition of objectives with regard to material effects, risks and opportunities as well as the establishment of procedures, controls and processes in the area of governance for their monitoring, management and supervision is carried out on the one hand through the specification of Management Board objectives and on the other hand in the course of the realisation and implementation of individual projects, which must be approved by the Management Board through to the Supervisory Board depending on their scope and value limit. While the measures are implemented by the responsible employees, projects are continuously evaluated by the departments involved.
Depending on the objective, scope and duration, the achievement of targets is monitored using previously defined formats, business reporting and clearly defined project objectives. In addition, a review is carried out with regard to the individual non-financial targets set annually for the members of the Management Board.
Reporting obligations arise in particular from project-related reporting, from reporting obligations in the context of management meetings and from the statutory requirements for business reporting. Comprehensive application forms are provided for extensive and far-reaching business transactions, such as new developments that are subject to approval by the Management Board or the Supervisory Board, which also contain mandatory components, for example with regard to potential opportunities and risks.
The company management ensures that suitable skills and expertise are always available to monitor sustainability aspects. This includes entrusting the Corporate Sustainability department with the fundamental responsibility for sustainability reporting. This department works closely with the HR (for social aspects) and Corporate Office Compliance (for governance issues) departments. Measures include providing the respective departments with sufficient financial and human resources as well as access to sustainability-related expertise through continuous training, access to external experts and dialogue with internal experts in the respective specialist departments.
The definition and monitoring of targets in relation to material impacts, risks and opportunities is addressed in the section "Inclusion of sustainability-related performance in incentive systems".
In ongoing consultation with the relevant specialist departments, the Corporate Sustainability department coordinates and monitors the continuous implementation of the sustainability strategy, is responsible for preparing the sustainability report and drives the development of new initiatives, particularly in the area of the environment.
All of the Group's compliance and governance issues are bundled in the Corporate Office & Compliance department. This department performs an advisory, coordinating and consolidating function in close coordination with the Risk Management and Internal Audit departments.
The Group Head of Human Resources is responsible for personnel initiatives at CA Immo.
Responsibility for the compliance with and implementation of compliance and sustainability issues remains with the relevant Group Heads.

An update on the framework conditions, objectives and measures as well as corresponding progress in the ESG context is presented to the Management Board and extended management at the quarterly review meetings and regular Group Management Board meetings, among others, and discussed. ESG topics are reported to the Supervisory Board at least twice a year at Supervisory Board meetings (see also the "Report of the Supervisory Board" section), including the following topics in the 2024 reporting year:
| Sustainability aspect | Rapporteur | Report frequency | Organs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corporate Office & | Yearly | Supervisory Board, Audit | |
| Measures to combat bribery and corruption | Compliance | Committee | |
| Climate protection | CEO | Quarterly | Supervisory Board |

The commitment to sustainability enshrined in the corporate strategy is also implemented in the CA Immo remuneration model. The performance of the Management Board is determined annually according to financial and non-financial criteria. Overall, the remuneration rules are designed to promote effective risk management by incorporating appropriate risk-mitigating targets and measures into the variable remuneration of management. The entire Management Board is responsible for the Group-wide organisational anchoring of the sustainability strategy in the corporate strategy and financial planning.
In the 2024 financial year, the following sustainabilityrelated targets were defined as part of the non-financial performance criteria ("operational targets") for the Management Board:
The achievement of operational targets is evaluated by the Remuneration Committee. Additional information on how ESG is anchored in the remuneration model of the Management Board can be found in the remuneration report and at www.caimmo.com/en/remuneration.
CA Immo has implemented appropriate and effective measures to address its due diligence obligations with regard to material sustainability risks and impacts. Responsibility for implementation lies with the Corporate Sustainability control unit, which works closely with the HR (for social aspects), Corporate Office Compliance (for governance issues) and Risk departments, amongst others. Sustainability risks are regularly identified and assessed along the entire value chain with the involvement of stakeholders and – if necessary – external experts.
To minimise negative effects, CA Immo has implemented a code of conduct for business partners and minimum standards in the area of minimum social safeguards as part of our procurement procedures. Our employees receive training on the most relevant guidelines in this area as part of the onboarding process and additionally on an annual basis. The effectiveness of these measures is monitored as part of sustainability reporting and through regular internal audits.
The aim of CA Immo's risk and opportunity policy is to safeguard the company's existence and to contribute to a sustainable increase in corporate value and the achievement of corporate goals. The CA Immo risk and opportunity management system is based on the COSO model and the ISO 31000, ONR D 4900 to ONR D 4902-3 series of standards.
The sustainability risks relevant to CA Immo are identified, assessed and updated every six months by the responsible specialist departments and Group risk management as part of Group-wide risk management.
In the next step, these risks are enriched with measures – if necessary – with the aim of avoiding, reducing or transferring them. These measures are in turn evaluated in terms of their effectiveness and costs. The person responsible for the risk or the responsible specialist department initiates the implementation of the measures and is responsible for adherence to the time and cost plan. Once a measure has been implemented, the risk assessment is adjusted in the risk management tool.
The entire Management Board is responsible for managing these risks. The individual members of the Management Board are responsible for ensuring the operational effectiveness of the internal control systems and risk prevention in their areas of responsibility.
This proactive approach is intended to ensure that any risks are minimised through early countermeasures and that the company can react to changing conditions in good time.
The risks and opportunities for CA Immo that meet the defined recognition criteria (e.g. expected value >€0.5m) are determined and quantified according to the probability of occurrence and potential loss.
Risks and opportunities are categorised according to their financial impact based on their expected value. The expected value is calculated from the product of the risk volume (using a three-point estimate) and the probability of occurrence. Risks are categorised as "red" (top risks, timely risk mitigation mandatory, close monitoring), "yellow (to be monitored, risk mitigation recommended)" and "green" (risks within an acceptable range with an appropriate risk volume). The top-ranked risks are prioritised for risk management and the implementation of risk-reducing measures.
Based on the 2022 materiality analysis, the most significant ESG risks are risks in connection with climate change. These are mitigated and monitored by regularly recording the energy consumption of the investment buildings and the climate targets derived from this, as well as the implementation of decarbonisation measures.
The risk prevention measures are implemented by the responsible departments and are included in the annual sustainability reporting, among other things.
A summary of the risk catalogue including mitigating measures is presented to the Management Board on a quarterly basis (in the course of the Risk Committee meetings). The half-yearly risk report to the Supervisory Board serves as a progress report on ongoing risk identification and risk treatment. It contains an overview of the top risks, particularly those in the highest (red) risk category, the overall risk position of CA Immo (including aggregated risk categories and Value at Risk) and the key measures and their impact.
The CA Immo Group is a real estate group headquartered in Vienna with branches in several Central European countries. Its core business is the letting and management of office investment properties and the development of high-quality office buildings. Our business model aims to generate stable and recurring rental income from tenants with high credit ratings, supplemented by income from the development of office buildings for our own portfolio and property sales.
The portfolio focuses on modern prime office properties with high quality standards in prime inner-city locations in European gateway cities. Part of this comprehensive quality standard is to maintain sustainable and energy-efficient buildings in the portfolio and to operate them in the most resource-efficient manner possible. The development of particularly sustainable and energy-efficient buildings for the company's own portfolio is intended to further strengthen the quality and future viability of the building stock.
With the exception of one building in Belgrade, CA Immo operates exclusively in countries of the European Union. Therefore, all business processes are subject to applicable national and EU law (with the exception of Serbia).
A detailed presentation of property assets, including a breakdown by region, asset class and business area as well as portfolio changes and tenant structure as at 31.12.2024, can be found in the management report (section Property Assets, Investment Properties and Property Assets under Development).
The decentralised organisational structure with local teams on the ground in all core cities enables us to maintain close relationships with key local stakeholders, especially tenants. As at the reporting date, CA Immo employed 254 people (headcount) across the Group (including part-time staff and employees on leave, excluding freelancers). Germany accounts for the largest share (around 47%), followed by Austria (31%) and CEE (22%). CA Immo has no production facilities; most of its own employees are office workers (knowledge workers).
The property sector is a high-impact sector in terms of climate protection. Our focus in the area of sustainability is therefore on decarbonising our business operations. This includes the business areas of project development (property assets under development) and asset management (investment properties), including the associated tenants and (external) investors as the most important stakeholders.
Active portfolio management (strategic capital rotation) in the form of investments in the portfolio (e.g. refurbishment projects), the selective development of high-quality buildings and the sale of non-core properties is intended to increasingly enhance the quality, sustainability and prime office focus of the portfolio, thereby ensuring the competitiveness and resilience of the business model. This process aims to continuously simplify the business model and streamline the operating platform, which will be further optimised through the gradual outsourcing of non-core activities. The implementation of this strategic guideline has the following impact on sustainability aspects:
By implementing the capital rotation programme, the energy efficiency of the investment portfolio and the depth of the value chain – and the associated ESG impacts and risks – have been reduced in recent years. In the coming years, the proportion of buildings with a poor energy balance or with gas heating should continue to fall as a result of further new construction and refurbishment projects and sales.
The CA Immo value chain ranges from the acquisition of building rights, project development, portfolio management and letting to the sale of investment properties. The upstream value chain of our operating business focuses primarily on energy generation for building operation and on the material and resource flows (inputs primarily in the form of building materials and construction services) that arise in the context of new construction and refurbishment projects. The process of awarding contracts to suppliers (building materials) and service providers (including construction companies, trades, architects) in the course of these development projects is managed in-house by CA Immo.
While CA Immo manages the activities of its core business (project development, asset management) via its internal platform, services relating to planning and design, construction and construction management, letting (property agents), property and facility management are purchased from third parties.
The downstream value chain focuses primarily on the property tenants (building users).
Our stakeholder relations take place on several levels. CA Immo employees in the relevant specialist department are in constant, direct dialogue with shareholders, investors, tenants, banks, colleagues, local authorities and government agencies, the media and other external service providers. External media coverage and analysts' assessments of the company – as well as annual staff appraisals, for example – are subject to ongoing monitoring in order to be able to react immediately to any negative developments.
The requirements and interests of key stakeholders are recorded as part of the following activities, among others: Existing and potential tenants:
–Contract negotiations (new letting or extension),
Lenders and investors:
Trends and changing needs can be derived from these channels, such as an increasing demand for smaller, high-quality office space in central, inner-city locations and an increasing interest in energy and operating cost efficiency (tenants), a growing focus on energy efficiency (energy performance certificates) and EU taxonomy alignment of investment properties and development projects (banks, capital market) as well as work-life balance and flexible working conditions (employees).
The results of this stakeholder dialogue are incorporated into product design (conception of new construction projects and portfolio development, portfolio management), HR management (e.g. home office regulations, flexible working hours, various special benefits) and the selection and weighting of our strategic sustainability topics (materiality analysis), among other things, and guide our strategic decisions.
The Management Board and Supervisory Board are informed about the development of these stakeholder interests and market developments, for example in the course of ongoing management meetings (Management Board) and Supervisory Board meetings.
The key ESG issues for CA Immo are presented below in the form of a list including the impacts, risks and opportunities and their relationship to our business model and the value chain. These define the framework within which CA Immo can make a relevant contribution to a sustainable economy, while also setting out the focal points of the sustainability strategy and reporting.

To analyse the impact on climate change, in particular the company's greenhouse gas emissions, CA Immo collects and analyses the material emissions in its own operations and in the upstream and downstream value chain on an annual basis. This data is collected at building and project level and benchmarked against national comparative data (depending on availability). The decarbonisation pathways provided by CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) for the real estate sector in accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement, for example, serve as a benchmark.
The analysis of climate-related physical risks in the portfolio is location-based and takes into account the Natural Hazards according to the EU taxonomy, i.e. chronic and acute temperature- and wind-related as well as water- and land-related natural hazards are evaluated. This risk situation is subject to a low rate of change over time. All properties (investment buildings and development projects) with a proportionate balance sheet value of at least 0.5% of total property assets ("major investments" according to the EU Taxonomy Regulation) were analysed.
The analysis was carried out in 2024, taking into account two RCP scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP4.5). The evaluation focussed on short-term, current risks and the time horizon up to 2100. The Natural Hazards Tool with the corresponding climate models from Munich RE was used to carry out the climate risk and vulnerability analysis.
First, the relevant parameters of the properties are enriched in a source file and transferred to the Munich Re tool. There, the properties are queried, enriched and evaluated based on their geodisplacement via an extensive database with regard to their exposure to natural hazards. The evaluation is carried out via the Location Risk Intelligence platform and the Munich Re modules "Climate Change" and "Natural Hazards.
After surveying the relevant natural hazards in the defined time horizons, the identified physical climate risks and their extent were analysed. The threshold value for significant risks was set at "very high" or "extreme" in accordance with the Risk Location Intelligence Tool categories.
The final step involved evaluating the extent to which adaptation solutions are already in place in or around buildings with increased risk exposure. The results of Munich Re's natural hazard analysis that showed an exposure above the defined threshold value of a climate risk (gross risk) were examined by the responsible specialist departments with regard to existing, planned or implemented adaptation measures.
Based on the results of the software-based risk analysis, CA Immo carried out an extended risk assessment, which also included protective measures implemented by local authorities in the urban environment.
As a result of this additional information, the residual risk can again be classified as low and below the threshold value due to the measures taken on site.
Analysing climate-related transition risks and opportunities in one's own business and within the upstream and downstream value chain harbours a number of unknown variables, such as the development dynamics of political influence (regulation) and market requirements (tenants, lenders, investors).
The risk evaluation is based on the following regulations and benchmarks, among others:
Transitory risk factors for the long-term marketability and value stability of buildings include:
The results of these analyses are included in internal reporting at least once a year and trigger the implementation of risk-mitigating measures where necessary.
ENERGY MIX 2024 OF THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Basis: Total energy consumption (182,398 MWh) of 61 investment properties, including properties sold in the 2024 financial year and seven buildings classified as short-term property assets as at the reporting date (IFRS 5). Oil consumption of 223 MWh (0.1% of total energy consumption) is not shown separately in the chart.
The climate scenarios described above, and their analysis are consistent with the critical climate-related assumptions in the financial statements. As at the reporting date of 31.12.2024, the CA Immo Group assumes that the identified climate risks have no material impact on the asset, financial and earnings position (valuations, cash flow forecasts, provisions or other financial performance indicators) of the CA Immo Group.
The process of analysing and defining the material sustainability topics was last carried out in the 2022 financial year; the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as part of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) were not yet fully taken into account. The results of the 2022 materiality analysis were adapted to the ESRS catalogue of topics in the 2024 financial year and the materiality thresholds were re-evaluated.
The first step involved drawing up a long list of potentially relevant topics on the basis of regulations, sustainability standards and reporting by relevant competitors, with explicit consideration of CSRD topics and an internal analysis of the impact of CA Immo's business activities on the environment, society and the economy. The collected topics were then assessed in accordance with the concept of double materiality, which takes into account both the materiality of ESG topics across the entire value chain (impact materiality or "inside-out") and financial materiality ("outside-in").
The impact materiality was conducted in stages: from defining a common understanding of the impacts to identifying and assessing the actual and potential impacts, both negative and positive.
In financial materiality, aspects that generate significant risks and opportunities were assessed, i.e. those that could influence future cash flows, the development and position of the company or, for example, access to financial resources in the short, medium or long term.
Internal experts from all relevant specialist areas were involved in this evaluation process. An external stakeholder survey was also conducted: All CA Immo employees and external reference groups such as tenants, investors and banks were invited to prioritise the individual issues for CA Immo from their perspective. The internal and external assessment results were used to draw up a list of key issues, which was then validated by the members of the Management Board.
Regulation (EU) 2020/852 ("EU Taxonomy Regulation") entered into force on July 12, 2020. It aims to define sustainable economic activities, to promote transparency and to enable and expand sustainable investment.
The scope of the economic activities listed within the EU taxonomy is not comprehensive but limited to sectors with significant environmental footprints and thus particular potential to contribute positively to the transition to a sustainable economy. The construction and real estate industry as an energy-intensive and thus emissionintensive sector is one of the addressees of the EU taxonomy.
According to the EU taxonomy, an economic activity is considered environmentally sustainable if it makes a significant contribution to at least one of the environmental goals, does not have a significant negative impact on any of the other environmental goals ("do no significant harm, DNSH") and is carried out in compliance with certain minimum protection criteria ("minimum safeguards"), especially with regard to responsible business conduct and human and labour rights. Whether a significant contribution is made to an environmental goal or there is no significant harm to the environmental goals must be reported on the basis of the technical screening criteria specified in detail by the EU Commission.
As at the reporting date, CA Immo is not subject to the reporting obligations according to the EU taxonomy. In order to be transparent with regard to its sustainable economic activities, CA Immo discloses the information on EU taxonomy eligibility on a voluntary basis. As the interpretation and practical application of some of the technical screening criteria was still unclear at the time of reporting, CA Immo does not publish key figures on taxonomy alignment.
In the following, the economic activities applicable to CA Immo are presented with the financial performance indicators to be reported in accordance with Art. 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation (revenue, capital expenditure & operating expenses). This presentation includes the shares of the taxonomy-eligible economic activities in revenues, capital expenditure (CapEX) and operating expenditure (OpEX).
CA Immo is an investor, manager and developer specialising in large, modern office properties in the metropolitan cities of Germany, Austria and CEE. Founded in 1987, CA Immo is listed on the ATX of the Vienna Stock Exchange and holds property assets of around €5.0bn in Germany, Austria and CEE.
In 2024, the gross revenues of CA Immo consist mainly of rental income (including operating cost income) from properties in the portfolio amounting to €297.4m. Income from the sale of properties held for trading and services amount to €27.8m, but these revenues originate from not taxonomy-eligible economic activities.
Within the list of taxonomy-eligible economic activities, CA Immo has identified 'Acquisition and ownership of buildings' for the gross revenues of the business year 2024:
–Acquisition of real estate and exercise of ownership of this real estate (note: e.g. by renting). The economic activities in this category can be classified under NACE code L.68 according to the statistical classification of economic activities established by Regulation (EC) No. 1893/2006.
The shares of taxonomy-eligible and not taxonomy-eligible gross revenues (turnover) for the fiscal year 2024 are shown in tabular form below.
Capital expenditures as defined by the EU taxonomy are additions to long-term assets or rights of use. CA Immo reports capital expenditure primarily in the form of additions to the investment portfolio (acquisition of investment properties, project development for its own portfolio). Furthermore, investments are made in the form of renovations and refurbishments of the building stock owned by CA Immo. Both types of additions are to be allocated as CapEx to the economic activity "Acquisition and ownership of buildings".
Investments in company cars are also covered by the taxonomy under the economic activity 'Transport by passenger car'.
Investments in owner-occupied property and software as well as in office furniture and equipment totalling around €0.6m are not taxonomy-eligible.
Overall, the shares of taxonomy-eligible and not taxonomy-eligible capital expenditures for the fiscal year 2024 are shown in tabular form below.
Operating expenses as defined by the EU taxonomy are, in addition to research and development expenses for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, all maintenance and repair expenses as well as other directly attributable costs that are relevant for the ongoing maintenance and preservation of the functionality of property, plant and equipment.
In relation to CA Immo's business model, OpEx is only considered in the form of non-capitalised costs for maintenance and repair expenses for investment properties.
The taxonomy-eligible operating expenses are therefore to be allocated in their entirety to the economic activity "Acquisition and ownership of buildings" and are shown in tabular form below.

CA Immo is positioned as a provider of class A office space with high quality standards. Maintaining energy-efficient buildings in the portfolio and developing them in the most climate-friendly way possible is a key strategic factor in securing the marketability of the portfolio and – as a result – the competitiveness of the company.
CA Immo's carbon footprint is largely driven by energy consumption for heating, cooling and other electrification of our investment properties. Key levers for achieving a reduction in emissions are therefore:
Decarbonisation measures are continuously implemented as part of the strategic capital rotation programme – from the development of energy-efficient buildings for the company's own portfolio to the targeted sale of older buildings that are inefficient in terms of energy and CO2 emissions and for which refurbishment is not economically viable. The costs of these measures are continuously evaluated for the individual buildings and taken into account in CapEx planning.
The following future developments were taken into account when setting the CO2 emission reduction targets (decarbonisation targets):
The tables below provide an overview of the climate targets, including target achievement in 2024, as well as the most important emission categories for CA Immo and their decarbonisation levers.

Explanations of the individual decarbonisation levers and the measures implemented in the 2024 financial year to achieve the climate targets can be found below in the section "Measures and resources in connection with the climate strategies". The associated costs for the individual buildings and projects are evaluated on an ongoing basis and taken into account in CapEx planning.
As a predominantly asset manager that develops new construction projects selectively and mostly for its own portfolio, economic activity 7.7 (acquisition and ownership of buildings) is primarily applicable to CA Immo under the EU taxonomy in order to achieve the EU taxonomy's environmental objective of climate protection, as this is the only way to generate taxonomy-aligned revenue. The following guidelines apply in order to successively increase taxonomy-aligned turnover from the investment portfolio:
All CapEx associated with these measures is recognised as part of EU taxonomy reporting.
CA Immo is not excluded from the EU Paris-aligned benchmarks.
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Climate change represents a risk that unfolds for CA Immo on two levels:
–Physical risks: Physical damage and impairment of buildings due to acute or chronic weather events (e.g. flooding, heat stress) can lead to higher costs for operation, repair and maintenance work and even temporary closure or loss of value of the building,
–Transition risks: Regulatory changes aimed at reducing emissions or enforcing higher efficiency standards could result in compliance costs (penalties, levies), higher construction and financing costs or poorer availability of debt as well as poorer marketability and have a negative impact on the value of the building.
In the 2024 financial year, a comprehensive risk and vulnerability analysis was carried out in accordance with the EU taxonomy (adaptation to climate change) (see "General disclosures" section). The analysis was carried out taking into account two RCP scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP4.5). RCP4.5 describes a realistic scenario with moderate climate protection measures, which suggests that global warming of about 2.0 to 3.0 °C by 2100 – compared to the pre-industrial era – can be expected (source: IPCC Fifth Assessment Report).
As a manager and developer of prime office buildings, CA Immo is primarily active in inner-city locations in central European metropolises and thus exclusively in temperate climate zones (Central Europe) and not in coastal cities. Based on this geographical location, some of the climate-related physical risks contained in the canon of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 are not relevant to CA Immo, or only to a limited extent (e.g. tropical storms, sea level rise).
The risks to which CA Immo properties in city centre locations are exposed are primarily temperature-related (heat) and water-related (drought and flooding). Adaptation solutions have already been implemented for all properties with increased exposure to physical risks. With regard to the risk of flooding, the generally well-developed flood defences in most cities in which CA Immo operates must also be taken into account, provided the properties are located in a flood zone.
Adaptation solutions for water-related risks:
Adaptation solutions for temperature-related risks:
Measures implemented have the effect of reducing the volume of risk and the probability of occurrence. In addition, insurable risks – including natural disasters and extreme weather events – are covered by the insurance cover taken out across the Group, and have been covered in full since 2024 (full reinstatement value).
The result of the risk and vulnerability analysis shows that there are currently no properties in the CA Immo portfolio that are exposed to significant physical risks, as sufficient adaptation solutions have already been implemented.
In terms of climate-related transition risks, CA Immo benefits as a prime office provider from its traditionally high-quality standards in portfolio management and the development of buildings for its own portfolio. This is reflected, among other things, in the composition of the energy efficiency classes in the investment portfolio (see chart in section "Parameters and Targets" below). The comparatively good resilience of the CA Immo business model is also reflected in the share of buildings with gas or oil heating, which has fallen steadily from 35% (31.12.2020) to 11% of the book value (as at 31.12.2024, excl. short-term property assets acc. to IFRS 5); as part of the capital rotation programme, which has been intensified since 2021. The proportion of buildings with gas heating or a poor energy balance is to be continuously reduced in the coming years through new construction and renovation projects as well as sales as part of the strategic capital rotation programme.
In order to preventively minimise climate risks in the context of project developments and major refurbishments, these are carried out exclusively under the condition of certifiability (sustainability certification according to DGNB, LEED or BREEAM standard).
The following policies are applied throughout the Group to manage the main impacts, risks and opportunities in the area of climate change mitigation:
| Topic/goal | Policy | Areas of application | Responsi bility |
Monitoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| –Climate protec tion –Use of renewable energies |
Energy procurement: purchasing energy from renewable sources |
Investment portfolio: own activities, upstream and downstream value chain |
CEO | Quarterly data col lection and internal reporting |
| –Energy efficiency | Energy monitoring and manage ment: portfolio management based on building energy con sumption data |
Investment portfolio: own activities, downstream value chain |
CEO | Quarterly internal reporting |
| –Energy efficiency –Adaptation to cli mate change |
DGNB or LEED certification with at least Gold level and EU taxon omy alignment in accordance with economic activity 7.1 and 7.7 for each new construction project |
Project development | CEO | Quarterly internal reporting, annual ESG report |
1) Implementation of all policies according to best effort and subject to economic viability evaluation.
In order to mitigate any climate risks in advance, CA Immo defines climate targets and corresponding measures and analyses their impact on an ongoing basis to measure progress in achieving these targets. This data is fed into Group-wide portfolio monitoring, on the basis of which decisions are taken on (energy-related) investments and portfolio transactions (capital rotation).

– Green financing strategy: issuance of a green bond with a volume of €350m and conclusion of a green loan for a Berlin office building in the amount of €70m in 2024 |
In 2024, a total of around €80m was invested in two new construction projects and one major refurbishment project, which include measures to protect the climate and adapt to climate change. Investments in measures related to climate change mitigation and adaptation are proposed by the Asset Management (investment buildings) and Development (new construction projects) departments as part of the annual budgeting process and approved by the Management Board.
The energy savings resulting from the optimisation measures implemented are monitored as part of the ongoing energy consumption data collection.
The main decarbonisation levers and measures implemented in 2024 in detail:
Continuously phasing out the use of fossil fuels (gas or oil heating) is a key lever for achieving climate neutrality. The CA Immo heating strategy focuses on the continuous expansion of (potentially) renewable heating energy sources in investment properties – primarily district heating and the use of heat pumps – by means of switching the heating energy source from gas or oil to district heating or a heat pump.
The refurbishment of the existing Danube House property in Prague was started in the 2024 financial year, which will also involve converting the gas heating system to a heat pump. In addition, the sale of two investment buildings with gas heating was completed in 2024.
The emissions intensity of the investment portfolio is driven by the energy consumption for heating, cooling and other electrification of our buildings. A key decarbonisation lever in property management is therefore the conversion of building operations to green energy. The CA Immo guidelines for green energy procurement provide for the following measures:
These guidelines apply subject to local availability and economic viability. In 2024, 98% of the common area electricity consumption in CA Immo buildings came from renewable energy sources (2023: 82%). This applies to all common areas and shared services provided by the landlord (e.g. building air conditioning, elevators, lighting) in multi-tenant buildings. As all tenant electricity is also purchased centrally and submetered by CA Immo in the CEE countries of Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic, the electricity contracts in these countries also include tenant electricity. 100%of the electricity consumed in CA Immo's own-used offices (both in its own investment buildings and in third-party buildings) is also supplied from renewable energy sources (2023: 86%). 77%
of total electricity consumption in 2024 was covered by EECS-certified green electricity.
CA Immo continuously invests in optimising the energy efficiency of its investment portfolio. This energy optimisation programme includes the following measures:
The comprehensive renovation of the Saski Crescent office building in Warsaw was completed at the beginning of 2024. The measures implemented reduced the building's primary energy demand by at least 30% in accordance with the energy performance certificate.
The refurbishment of the Danube House building in Prague began at the end of 2024. The planned measures are intended to achieve LEED Platinum certification and an increase in the energy efficiency class from C to B.
Construction of the new Anna Lindh Haus office building in Berlin began in mid-September. Once completed, the building will be fully electrified through the use of heat pumps. This will be complemented by a photovoltaic system installed on the roof, which will produce up to 30% of the electricity required on site. With a projected energy consumption of less than 50 kWh/sqm, the Anna Lindh Haus is around 70% below the Nearly-Zero-Energy-Building reference value (required value according to the German building energy law).
Targeted sale of buildings with gas heating or buildings that are inefficient in terms of energy and CO2 emissions, where refurbishment is not economically viable, as part of the strategic capital rotation program. In 2024, CA Immo sold two investment buildings with gas heating.
Holistically environmentally and climate-friendly building operation requires the co-operation of the building users. By purchasing (tenant) electricity from renewable energy sources and adopting energy-saving user behaviour, our tenants can make a significant contribution to reducing the building's CO2 emissions. By means of Green Lease Agreements, we offer our tenants the opportunity to participate in our ESG initiatives in areas beyond our control. A green lease is a rental agreement in which the tenant and landlord agree to use and manage the property as sustainably and efficiently as possible by adding ESG clauses. Corresponding contract components were rolled out across the Group in 2022. By the end of 2024, a total of 228 rental agreements (31.12.2023: 165) for rentable usable space of more than 235,000 sqm had been concluded as green leases. Green lease agreements include, among other things:
In addition to reducing the energy requirements of investment buildings in the utilisation phase (operational CO2 emissions), the reduction of embodied CO2 emissions in the course of new construction projects – including through the use of low-emission building materials – is also an important lever for reducing the CO2 footprint of buildings over their entire life cycle. While portfolio management focusses on reducing operational carbon emissions, project development also looks at emissions from the upstream value chain.
Our decarbonisation strategy for new construction projects to reduce emissions in the upstream value chain includes the following measures:
In autumn 2024, the development of the Anna Lindh Haus, the first new construction project in timber hybrid construction, was launched. The combination of wood and carbon-reduced concrete is intended to achieve a significant reduction in carbon compared to conventional construction methods.
The above-mentioned measures enabled CA Immo to reduce the carbon footprint of the investment portfolio (Scope 1, 2 and 3.13, energy only) by 18% year on year. A breakdown of energy consumption, including the resulting CO2 emissions, can be found in the chapters "Energy consumption and energy mix" and "Gross GHG emissions".

The tables above show the energy consumption data 2024 for the entire CA Immo investment portfolio (including assets sold during the year 2024). The data included a total of 61 investment buildings in 2024 (2023: 62 of 66 investment buildings), including 48 multi-tenant office buildings and 13 single-tenant buildings. The consumption data of the buildings sold in 2024 have been included on a pro rata basis and annualised in the intensity indicators. All asset classes (96% office properties, 4% other types of use, by book value) were included in the consumption data analysis. Of the 61 investment buildings, 39 were heated with district heating, 15 with gas, 1 with heating oil, 2 with heat pumps and 4 properties have no heating (3 multi-storey car parks and a bus station).
Data on CA Immo own-used offices are shown separately. The number of CA Immo own-used offices fell significantly from 14 (2023) to 9 (2024) following the sale of the construction subsidiary omniCon at the beginning of 2024. For our own-used offices, we report the intensity performance indicators using the space we use in the building (leased space in sqm).
The total energy volumes include energy purchased by the landlord to supply the technical building equipment and common areas (common area electricity, energy for shared services like cooling and heating), energy purchased by the tenant and electricity for tenant areas purchased by the landlord, which is passed on directly to the tenants and recorded and invoiced as part of submetering.
In order to provide comprehensive data collection for the total energy consumption of our buildings, we endeavour to obtain tenant consumption data (energy purchased directly by the tenant) from all single-tenant and multi-tenant buildings. For the 2024 financial year, around 12% of electricity consumption and 3% of district heating consumption (gas: 0%) had to be estimated. Missing consumption was estimated on the basis of national benchmark data and taking into account the average building vacancy rates. In cases where consumption was not available for individual months only, this was extrapolated on the basis of existing data. All other consumption figures are based on invoices and meter readings.
The proportion of renewable energies in the district heating mix was not reported as this information was not available for all buildings at the time of publication.
To calculate the energy intensity of the common areas and shared services (in kWh/sqm), the energy procured by the tenants is excluded (excluding tenant electricity and heating energy of single-tenant buildings).
From the 2024 report, the heated/cooled net floor area (in sqm, according to the energy performance certificate) is used to calculate the energy and carbon intensities (until 2023: gross internal area (GIA) in sqm; including garage parking spaces, basement and storage space in the building).

1) ONE, Grasblau, Hochhaus am Europaplatz: Values are based on final LCA prepared after project completion. The values for Upbeat, Anna-Lindh-Haus and Karlsbad 11 are preliminary estimates that were recorded in the LCA in various project phases with the aim of reducing the emission values in the course of project implementation. During the project phase, the committed emission values are continuously evaluated and finalised after completion. Final values are therefore only available after completion of the overall project. The Upfront Carbon figure for Karlsbad 11 is not yet available. 2) Market average (German office) according to deepki https://index-esg.com/, 2024.
Sources: Energy performance certificates, life cycle assessments. The primary energy requirement of a building is calculated from the final energy requirement (heating, lighting, cooling; excluding tenant electricity such as IT or kitchens in the rental areas), the energy sources used in the building (e.g. electricity, district heating or gas) and their defined primary energy factors. The purchase of green electricity is not taken into account here.
The Group-wide CO2 footprint is essentially divided between the business areas of asset management (utilisation phase of buildings) and project development (new construction, building renovations). While emissions from portfolio management occur evenly and recurrently over the entire life cycle of operational use, emissions from
project development are concentrated during the construction phase, usually over a period of 1-5 years. In our reporting, we follow the scope definition of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol:
Scope 3.2 contains emissions from the production of materials that arise in the course of new construction projects in the upstream value chain. The data from the Carbon life cycle analyses (LCA) prepared during every development project are used as the source for this (A1- A3 upfront carbon, see table "Carbon emissions and energy requirements of recently completed, current and planned construction and refurbishment projects"). These emissions are reported on a pro rata basis according to the construction period per year. Emissions in the context of building renovations were not recorded for the 2024 financial year.
Scope 3.13 includes emissions from electricity consumption in the rental space (tenant electricity), which is either purchased directly by the tenant (Germany, Austria) or purchased by CA Immo and submetered to the tenant (CEE). This KPI is shown both location-based and market-based, as the electricity procured by CA Immo and submetered to tenants is electricity from renewable sources.
The conversion of energy consumption to greenhouse gas emissions is shown both location-based and market-based. For the location-based conversion, country-specific, average conversion factors are used as follows:
Scope 3.3 emissions for oil and gas were not reported as no Scope 3.3 emission factors were available.
For the market-based conversion, the factors of the respective energy providers (for district heating and electricity) from the energy contracts concluded by CA Immo are used. If these were not available in individual cases, location-based emission factors were used.
Previous years´ figures have been restated accordingly.
As at the reporting date, around 61% of the investment properties (by book value) had an energy efficiency class A or B (according to the Energy Performance Certificate, EPC) or were classified as top 15% in terms of energy efficiency. The breakdown of the properties by energy efficiency class is as follows:

Excl. short-term property assets (IFRS 5). Energy efficiency classes according to Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), except for German and Polish assets, as there are no Energy efficiency classes in the German and Polish EPCs. German assets were classified according to the DGNB bridge for Top 15%: Primary Energy Demand is at least 10% below NZEB standard (requirement value). All German assets that do not fulfill this criterion were classified as not Top 30%.
Not categorised: Includes assets with no EPC and Polish assets, as there is no established proxy for converting the energy values into classes in the Polish EPCs.
In order to provide transparent, internationally comparable and objectified evidence of building quality across the entire portfolio, CA Immo has strategic core portfolio buildings and new development projects certified. In this context, internationally established, holistic sustainability standards such as DGNB, LEED and BREEAM are applied. Additional building certification standards such as WELL (health and wellbeing), WiredScore (digital connectivity) and SmartScore (design and smart user experience) are also used in some cases, particularly for newbuild projects.
Each project development begins with a location-specific and user-orientated product definition, which defines the standard and the level of sustainability certification, among other things. The corresponding minimum standards for ecological, socio-cultural and functional, technical, site and process quality are derived from this. Compliance with the overall social and environmental standards defined by CA Immo at Group and product level must be confirmed by construction service providers and suppliers as part of the contract award process. The DGNB specification of sustainability requirements also forms part of the construction contract; compliance with these requirements is verified by a DGNB auditor during the construction process by means of an environmental impact assessment.
In 2024, the DGNB certification process was completed for one office building (project completion) in Frankfurt. This was offset by the sale of one certified investment building in Vienna. As at 31 December 2024, 35 CA Immo office buildings and one hotel building were certified to DGNB, LEED or BREEAM standards, while one office building was in the process of certification or refurbishment.
By book value, around 79% of the entire CA Immo portfolio (2023: 67%) were certified (excl. short-term property assets acc. to IFRS 5). Including buildings undergoing certification or refurbishment as at the reporting date, the certification rate was 84%.

As an employer, CA Immo has been anchored locally on its markets for many years and employs almost exclusively local staff in its international branches. As at 31.12.2024, people were working for CA Immo in six countries, five of which are part of the EU (excluding Serbia). CA Immo generally employs staff on permanent fulltime contracts. In 2024, 248 of a total of 254 employees were on permanent contracts and 6 on fixed-term contracts (2023: of a total of 348 employees, 338 were on permanent contracts and 10 on fixed-term contracts). The
proportion of employees with fixed-term contracts is 2% (2023: 3%)
Own staff includes only employees who are employed by CA Immo. Not included are 24 persons employed in joint ventures (22 DRG and 2 Zollhafen Mainz).
The issues of human trafficking, forced labour and child labour do not pose a risk due to the direct business activities of CA Immo exclusively in Europe and the associated legal situation. As CA Immo has no production facilities and CA Immo employees mainly perform office work (i.e. are knowledge workers), the strategy for preventing occupational accidents relates primarily to health and safety during office work and on construction sites in the course of development and refurbishment projects.

CA Immo operates in numerous countries with different languages and cultures and recognises social diversity as well as the rights, interests and needs of all employees. Through a variety of measures, we aim to give employees the space to realise their full potential in order to achieve exceptional results.
We endeavour to comply with the following guidelines throughout the Group:
–Declaration of core values (global code of conduct): The core values of our corporate culture are part of our strategic orientation and are binding for the entire company,
–Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy: This set of rules defines CA Immo's stance on issues such as employment relationships, human rights and working conditions, as well as fair and respectful behaviour, both among employees and towards third parties (applicants, service providers, contracting parties, etc.,
–OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
The above guidelines can be found on the CA Immo Group website. To ensure their implementation throughout the Group, we focus primarily on prevention through awareness-raising and training for all employees as well as a close-knit feedback and communication culture. In addition, local labour laws and company agreements (in
Austria and Germany) serve as a guideline for HR management.
The respective managers are responsible for observing and implementing the guidelines and strategies set out in this section in the day-to-day work of each department. Responsibility for personnel initiatives at CA Immo lies with the Group Head of Human Resources.
The Human Resources department is in direct dialogue with management, executives, employees, employee representatives and job applicants. In addition, standardised employee surveys and onboarding and exit interviews are conducted as required.
In both Austria and Germany, the works council or its economic committee (Germany) is given the opportunity to meet with the management at their request in order to facilitate effective cooperation and a continuous dialogue within the company.
Regular internal communication and a trusting and constructive dialogue between the management and employees are important to us. Relevant information, e.g. on the earnings situation or corporate strategy, is passed on to the workforce via various channels, including physical or virtual town hall meetings (twice a year), info mails, management meetings and team jours fixes. These meetings also provide an opportunity for dialogue and feedback between management and employees across all hierarchies.
The Austrian and German works councils work closely with the HR department and regular coordination meetings are held. Management and the works council regularly exchange information on company developments and relevant employee issues. Two members of the Austrian works council represent the interests of the workforce on the Supervisory Board of CA Immo. Their activities enable co-determination on the Supervisory Board, including the right to have a say in far-reaching company decisions.
CA Immo has implemented a whistleblower platform as central component of its compliance organisation, which employees and third parties – such as contractual partners – can use to report illegal behaviour, ethical breaches or other observed misconduct, either anonymously or by name. In all cases, the utmost discretion is maintained, and all information is treated in strict confidence. As legitimate reports help to preserve our values and our reputation in the market, whistleblowers are fully protected from any retaliation if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the information they have provided is true at the time of the report, based on the actual circumstances and the information available to them. The platform can be accessed via the CA Immo Group website.
The following measures are used to proactively manage the effects, risks and opportunities in our own workforce:
See paragraph "Processes for engaging with own workers and workers' representatives about impacts" and "Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to raise concerns".
CA Immo offers its employees a range of voluntary social benefits throughout the Group – irrespective of the working time model – such as a meal allowance, railcard, job tickets, collective accident insurance and a company pension scheme.
In addition to the fixed salary, employees can participate in the company's success in the form of a variable profit-sharing scheme. This is linked to the achievement of budgeted annual targets and a positive Group EBITDA. Employees in key positions can also participate in the company's success via a long-term incentive programme.
In the area of personnel development, CA Immo focuses on the following measures to prevent the loss of knowledge and expertise:
In addition to the statutory health and safety measures for employees, CA Immo offers the following measures and incentives as part of its occupational health management programme:
These measures are intended to prevent operational costs (e.g. downtime costs), among other things.
CA Immo stands for equality and balance in the composition of its workforce. A fair, non-discriminatory and equal opportunity application and selection process is particularly important to us.
We evaluate and compare the salaries of men and women in comparable roles on an annual basis. If there is a pay gap, this is analysed at an individual level and discussed with the respective manager before each salary review so that the gender pay gap can be gradually closed as part of the annual salary review.
The Group-wide guidelines (Code of Conduct, CSR guidelines) include standards on equal rights, diversity and inclusion. These are continuously trained as part of compliance training programmes in order to raise awareness among the workforce.
CA Immo endeavours to support a corporate culture that promotes teamwork and is characterised by openmindedness and respectful cooperation. This includes the following activities:
To counteract the current challenges on the labour market, such as the shortage of skilled workers and socio-cultural change, CA Immo is focusing on employee retention and high-quality standards in the recruitment of new staff. Given the highly specialised nature of requirements and the current shortage of skilled workers in key business areas, CA Immo is currently refraining from setting quantitative targets in recruitment, e.g. with regard to quotas for women in the workforce and management.
The effectiveness and progress of our strategic measures in terms of impact, risks and opportunities are evaluated by monitoring the following key figures:
In the tables below, the 24 employees (as at 31 December 2024) of the joint venture companies are not included. The employees of the former German subsidiary omniCon Gesellschaft für innovatives Bauen mbH (77 in Germany, 7 in Switzerland) are included in the figures for 2023 (as at 31 December 2023). From 2024, these are no longer reported as the company was sold as part of a management buyout on 31 January 2024.

In addition to its own employees, CA Immo employed 11 freelance or seconded staff as at 31.12.2024 to take on temporary tasks and projects or to compensate for shortterm staff shortages. They therefore represented 4% of the total workforce and are mainly deployed in Germany.
CA Immo does not apply a collective labour agreement. CA Immo does not base the working and employment conditions of its employees on the collective agreements of other companies. Contracts with external labour are also not governed by collective agreements.
There is a works council in Austria and Germany, which represents 98% of the workforce in each of these regions (excluding senior executives). Group-wide, 78% of employees are represented by employee representatives. Company agreements on various issues have been concluded with the relevant employee representatives for both the Austrian and German workforce.

Average per employee
Except for those who did not join the company until the 4th quarter of 2024, all employees in 2024 had an annual appraisal interview with their direct manager on performance assessment, target definition, potential analysis and personal career development – that is 99% of the total workforce (40% male, 58% female).
Two accidents at work were recorded in the 2024 reporting year. The resulting absence totalled 34 days. No deaths were recorded as a result of work-related injuries and work-related illnesses.
100% of CA Immo employees are covered by the health and safety programme on the basis of statutory requirements in the form of regular workplace safety checks.
External safety experts carry out regular rounds and inspections in all offices used by CA Immo itself. The frequency of these inspections is based on national legal requirements and ranges from once to four times a year. Key topics include workplace evaluation, fire protection, indoor climate factors and lone working/working alone. An internally appointed safety officer at each branch also ensures a pleasant and safe working environment. In 2024, no recognisable safety-related deficiencies and resulting acute dangers or hazards for the workforce were identified at any CA Immo location.
Health and safety plans are drawn up on all CA Immo construction sites. The company's own employees receive regular safety training on construction sites.
CA Immo grants all employees (100% of the total workforce) special leave days for family reasons (e.g. marriage, death, birth of a child), which were utilised by 17% of the workforce (68% female and 32% male) in the year under review. In addition, a total of 40 days of carers' leave were taken (76% by women and 24% by men). The local statutory carers' leave regulations apply here.
The gender pay gap (total remuneration) is 2% at management level (31.12.2023: 4%) and 1% at employee
level (31.12.2023: 1%). The ratio of the annual total remuneration of the highest-paid individual to the median annual total remuneration of all employees is 1,427% as at the reporting date of December 31, 2024 (survey methodology in accordance with ESRS S1-16, AR 101).

Responsible corporate management is central importance to CA Immo. Our corporate governance is based on a comprehensive concept of responsible, transparent, sustainable and value-orientated corporate management. The Management Board, Supervisory Board and managers ensure that this corporate governance is actively practised and continuously developed in all areas of the company in order to deal responsibly with business partners, employees, the people around us and our environment.
By providing targeted information, clear standards and Group-wide guidelines, we aim to sensitise our employees and contractors to the issues we consider relevant and to encourage and oblige them to support the principles and initiatives of CA Immo. The following guidelines on corporate governance, compliance, anti-corruption and social standards are available on the CA Immo Group website:

CA Immo is committed to the following basic values ('Code of Ethics'), which are set out in detail in our Code of Conduct and in separate guidelines
These basic values are binding for our employees, and CA Immo will not tolerate violations. We also endeavour to commit our contractual partners to these basic values before concluding contracts, and to comply with the legal, ethical and moral principles set out in the Business Partner Code of Conduct and to bind their business partners and suppliers to them as well. When awarding contracts, compliance with the minimum social safeguards in accordance with Article 18 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation is essential (see the "Sustainable supply chain and procurement" section for details).
The Corporate Office & Compliance department coordinates the compliance management system, develops the ethics and compliance programme on the basis of identified industry-specific compliance risks, draws up guidelines or provides advice on this, receives information and complaints – including anonymously – and manages the clarification of compliance issues with the involvement of Internal Audit or external consultants. In this regard, it liaises closely with the Risk Management and Internal Audit departments. One focus in the 2024 business year was the comprehensive standardisation and consolidation of guidelines within CA Immo. In close cooperation with the individual specialist departments, the applicable guidelines within CA Immo were comprehensively evaluated, standardised in terms of mandatory content and minimum components, and revised and updated as necessary. This ensures that each individual employee is provided with a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the rules of behaviour that apply to them.
The Compliance Management System is organised and company-wide guidelines are adopted in consultation with and by resolution of the Management Board. The Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee are regularly informed about the compliance management system and any changes to it. We encourage our employees to report concerns and irregularities so that we can take countermeasures at an early stage. This also includes communicating grievances and measures taken transparently within the organisation.
In addition, regular training programmes are held for CA Immo executive bodies and employees. The annual compliance training courses cover all aspects of our values management (in particular anti-corruption, competition and antitrust law, contract awards, capital market compliance and financial reporting requirements, dealing with gifts and donations and conflicts of interest, etc.). These mandatory training courses are offered as online training as well as face-to-face training.
Training is focused on individual business departments that are exposed to the highest risk with regard to specific topics such as money laundering risk or the risk of corruption and bribery. This relates to the operational business units that are in direct contact with business partners, tenants or service providers (Asset Management, Investment Management and Development).
In order to promote responsible whistleblowing and appropriate protection for whistleblowers, CA Immo is guided by the applicable laws and international principles and the Transparency International best practice guidelines. These principles have been enshrined in a works agreement concluded with the CA Immo Works Council and govern in particular:
To ensure that whistleblowers are adequately protected against retaliation and to facilitate potential reports, CA Immo has implemented a web-based whistleblower system. This system enables both employees and external third parties to report grievances anonymously and in the languages of the countries in which CA Immo operates. In the 2023 business year, the whistleblowing system was comprehensively reviewed in line with the adoption and entry into force of national transposition laws of the EU Whistleblower Directive and necessary adaptations were made, for example to internal processes and company agreements. Employees are actively informed about their reporting/complaint options and their rights as whistleblowers. In particular, employees are informed that honest whistleblowers are comprehensively protected against any retaliatory measures. CA Immo sees this as an opportunity to recognise risks at an early stage and thus avert sanctions, fines and reputational damage. The Corporate Office & Compliance department is also available internally for counselling sessions. The whistleblower platform can be accessed via the CA Immo website. Business partners are also actively made aware of this option.
The Corporate Office & Compliance department is primarily responsible for reviewing reported information; in the event of a conflict of interest in this regard, the Internal Audit department is responsible. If necessary, external professionals may also be called in if this appears necessary to clarify a matter.
Information about the whistleblower system in place is part of all Group guidelines and is also provided as part of the mandatory annual training (onboarding training for new employees and mandatory annual online training for all existing employees).
We are aware of our impact on the environment and society across our entire value chain – as well as the responsibility that CA Immo has as a project developer, investor, landlord, employer and client. Compliance with a wide range of governance, environmental and social requirements and voluntary standards is mandatory for us, our contractors and suppliers across our entire supply chain.
CA Immo has established a comprehensive process to address late payments and any resulting individual value adjustments, thereby minimising negative effects on the Group. A dunning process with staggered deadlines and clear responsibilities depending on the escalation level and monetary value of the outstanding receivable has
been established in order to minimise the risk of payment defaults and correctly record risks in the accounts. The details are standardised in the Receivables Management & Individual Value Adjustments policy, which is primarily the responsibility of the Risk Management department.
We require our contractors and suppliers (providers) to recognise the governance, social and environmental standards we have defined as part of the tendering process. Environmental and technical standards in particular are defined by the contracting authority in each individual case. CA Immo scrutinises its business partners – including construction companies in particular – as part of the tendering process not only in terms of their professional qualifications and economic situation, but also with regard to social aspects.

In award processes, bidders who do not at least promise to fulfil the following points in their bid are eliminated from the award process:
As a result of European and German supply chain legislation, CA Immo has drawn up a Business Partner Code of Conduct – on a voluntary basis, as CA Immo is not within the scope of this regulation. This Business Partner Code of Conduct was adopted by the full Management Board in the 2024 business year. Before entering into business relationships, CA Immo endeavours to have the business partner sign the Business Partner Code of Conduct, which then becomes an integral part of the contract. This is valid for all further contractual arrangements with the respective business partner. A signature is particularly relevant in cases where the conclusion of the contract requires the approval of at least the Group Management Board in accordance with the Group-wide authorisation system and for business partners with a high risk profile in terms of compliance risks (e.g. domicile in high-risk countries or relationships with PePs (Politically Exposed Persons). Comprehensive KYC checks (Know Your Customer) are carried out on potential contractual partners for property transactions and prior to the conclusion of rental agreements, whereby the business partners are checked with regard to their beneficial owner, PeP status, domicile in high-risk countries and inclusion in sanctions lists.
In the area of governance, we pay particular attention to compliance with laws and our internal guidelines for contractual partners, for example with regard to corporate ethics, ensuring compliance and measures to combat corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism. In the social area, our strategic focus is particularly on the topics of compliance with human rights, health & safety, employment & working conditions. In the case of construction services, CA Immo obliges and monitors its contractors to comply with statutory regulations on health and safety at work, workplace and working time regulations and collective labour agreements, for example. Our procurement process also ensures that the high ecological requirements are met in accordance with the respective certification standard for the planned building, which could result, e.g., in the requirement of our construction service providers to comply with sustainability standards in accordance with at least DGNB Gold or LEED Gold (e.g. material declaration, worker protection).
Details of these standards and the associated control mechanisms can be found in the CA Immo procurement guidelines, which are available on our website.
Responsibility for measures to prevent and detect corruption and bribery lies centrally with the Corporate Office & Compliance department, which takes a Groupwide holistic approach in this regard. This includes the provision of a code of conduct (primarily via the Code of Ethics & Conduct and the Anti-Corruption Policy) and the associated comprehensive mandatory training for each individual employee. Guidelines and any changes to them are communicated throughout the Group and can be accessed in their current form on the intranet. Mandatory training on the prevention and detection of corruption and bribery as well as dealing with conflicts of interest initially takes place as part of onboarding and must then be completed annually by every employee. In addition, training is focussed on particularly affected business areas (operational business units that are in direct contact with business partners, tenants or service providers).
Actions and decisions for CA Immo must always be taken free of any appearance of a conflict of interest and in accordance with appropriate, objective and economic criteria. Corrupt business practices by employees or external service providers are not tolerated. Even the appearance of corrupt business practices must be avoided. As a guiding principle, we do not make any payments or grant any other benefits of monetary value and do not accept any payments in order to gain business advantages in violation of (competition) law. This applies to business partners as well as to public authorities and their employees. Contributions to political parties, political exponents and religious communities (donations, benefits in kind, etc.) as well as gifts of money or unauthorised payments to business partners or authorities are strictly prohibited and will be regarded as (attempted) bribery.
Furthermore, employees may not accept or offer any gifts that are inappropriate in social or value terms. Offering, promising or granting money or benefits in kind of any kind to public officials and political exponents is strictly prohibited. As part of the programme to combat bribery and corruption, CA Immo has issued a detailed anti-corruption guideline for its employees that specifies which benefits are permissible and to what extent they are prohibited. Detailed rules on the existence of conflicts of interest and how to deal with them are also set out in detail in the Code of Ethics & Conduct. In addition to basic obligations (recording and authorising secondary employment, board functions and shareholder positions), potential conflicts of interest must be reported immediately to the Corporate Office & Compliance department by the employee concerned.
The anti-corruption guideline also contains comprehensive regulations on sponsoring, dealing with intermediaries and regulating political influence and lobbying activities.
In the event of suspicious circumstances and information received, audits are carried out by the Corporate Office & Compliance department; in the event of a conflict of interest in this regard, audits are carried out by Internal Audit. If necessary, external professionals may also be called in if this appears necessary to clarify a matter.
The Supervisory Board or the Audit Committee is informed at least once a year about measures taken to combat bribery and corruption. Corruption-related matters are audited on the basis of the audit plan approved by the Audit Committee or on the basis of special audit mandates from the Management Board, Audit Committee or full Supervisory Board. All operating Group companies are regularly audited for corruption risks.
There were no cases of corruption or bribery at CA Immo in the 2024 reporting year.
Political influence and lobbying activities are strictly regulated at CA Immo. Details in this regard can be found in the anti-corruption guideline, which was newly adopted by the Management Board in the 2024 business year.
Contributions to political parties, politically exposed persons, churches and religious communities (donations in any form, benefits in kind, etc.) are generally prohibited throughout the Group. This does not include charitable organisations with a political or religious background, provided that the focus of the organisation is on promoting the common good, whereby an extensive review process is carried out in advance to ensure the greatest possible transparency.
Special regulations and a comprehensive authorisation procedure are also in place with regard to the commissioning of political intermediaries, which is generally prohibited throughout the Group.
No donations were made to political parties or politically affiliated organisations in the 2024 financial year.
The administrative, Management and Supervisory bodies of CA Immo did not hold any comparable positions in public administration in the two years prior to the current reporting period.
CA Immo has introduced an electronic invoice approval system to ensure that invoices are processed quickly and seamlessly. The use of the system is set out in the electronic invoice processing guidelines. In principle, invoices are approved by the employees responsible for the invoice, although above certain value thresholds, higherranking members are involved in the approval process.
If payment deadlines are exceeded, CA Immo has established a comprehensive receivables and dunning system with staggered deadlines and clear responsibilities depending on the escalation level and monetary value of the outstanding receivable in order to minimise the risk
of non-payment and correctly record risks in the accounts. The details are standardised in the Receivables Management & Individual Value Adjustments policy, which is primarily the responsibility of the Risk Management department.
As at 31.12.2024, a total of 38 proceedings for late payment are pending within the CA Immo Group. On the assets side, this relates to 25 proceedings (10 of which are in the course of court proceedings, 11 in insolvency proceedings and 4 in enforcement proceedings). On the liabilities side, 13 proceedings are pending, with CA Immo asserting justified objections in all of these cases.

CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft and its subsidiaries constitute an international real estate group (the "CA Immo Group"). The parent company is CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft ("CA Immo AG"), which has its head office at 1030 Vienna, Mechelgasse 1, Austria. CA Immo Group owns, develops and manages especially office properties in Austria and Germany as well as in Eastern Europe. CA Immo AG is listed on the prime market segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange and is included in the ATX (Austrian Traded Index of leading companies).
The consolidated financial statements of CA Immo AG were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and thereby fulfil the additional requirements of § 245a par. 1 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB). The consolidated financial statements are based on the acquisition cost method, with the exception of investment properties (including standing investments and properties under development), properties held for sale, derivative financial instruments and provisions for cash-settled share-based payment plans, which are measured at fair value. The net item from pension obligations is presented as a provision, comprising the present value of the obligations less the fair value of the plan asset.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros ("€ K"), rounded according to the commercial rounding method. The use of automatic data processing equipment may lead to rounding differences in the addition of rounded amounts and percentage rates.
The preparation and presentation of the financial statements require management to make relevant decisions regarding the choice of the accounting methods as well as the sequence and the relevance of the disclosures, taking into account the requirements of the users of the financial statements. CA Immo Group presents all items of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of financial position together with information about main decisions, assumptions and estimations as well as the accounting policies for these items. This structure offers the users of the financial statements a clear overview of the information about the group figures and relating explanations and disclosures.
The following symbols indicate the different contents of the chapters:
The financial statements contain financial information prepared by taking into account materiality considerations. The materiality of the CA Immo Group is determined by quantitative and qualitative aspects. The quantitative aspects are evaluated by means of ratios to balance sheet total, performance indicators and/or main items of cash flow. The disclosures in the notes of the CA Immo Group are assessed at each end of the financial period, weighing the efficient preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the transparent presentation of the relevant information. In order to increase the quality of financial reporting, only information on material accounting policies is provided.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the ultimate parent company CA Immo AG and the companies listed in Note 9.8.

The consolidation of a subsidiary begins on the day on which the group gains control over the subsidiary. It ends when the group loses control over the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary are recognised in the financial statements as of the date on which the group gains control of the subsidiary until the date the control ceases. CA Immo Group determines the date of the initial consolidation or deconsolidation taking into account efficiency and materiality considerations.
The control concept of IFRS 10 leads to the existence of joint ventures within CA Immo Group, which, due to contractual arrangements, despite a shareholding percentage higher than 50% are included in the consolidated financial statements using the at-equity method in line with IFRS 11.
CA Immo Group did not acquire and did not found any companies in 2024.
CA Immo Group determines at the time of acquisition of companies (legal entities) whether the acquisition represents a business or a group of assets and liabilities. The following indicators are used for the assessment of business units:
In order to determine whether a transaction represents an acquisition of assets and liabilities or a business combination according to IFRS 3, CA Immo Group does not make use of the practical expedient (concentration test).
CA Immo Group disposed of the following interests in entities in the business year 2024 and 2023:

All companies under the control of the parent company are fully consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. All intra-group transactions between companies included in the scope of full consolidation, the related revenues and expenses, receivables and payables, as well as unrealised intra-group profits, are fully eliminated. Profit and loss amounts resulting from "upstream" and "downstream" transactions with joint ventures are eliminated in accordance with the share of CA Immo Group in these companies (except for real estate properties measured at fair value).
If the company (legal entity) acquired is not a business, the acquisition is not a business combination according to IFRS 3. Correspondingly, the acquisition is only an acquisition of assets and liabilities, which are recognised with their proportional acquisition cost. The acquisition costs are allocated to the acquired assets (especially investment properties) and liabilities as well as the non-controlling interests, based on their relative fair value at the date of acquisition of the subsidiary.
If a business is acquired, the acquisition is classified as a business combination according to IFRS 3. In order to qualify as a business, there must be at least one input factor (such as workforce, intellectual property or rights) and one substantive process (transformation of the input factors) that contributes significantly to the ability to generate output. The subsidiary is consolidated for the first time using the acquisition method, by recognising its identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value as well as a goodwill and non-controlling interests, if applicable. The goodwill represents any amount by which the fair value of the transferred amount (usually the purchase price for the acquired business) and (if applicable) for the non-controlling interest, exceeds the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities, including any deferred taxes.
Non-controlling interests are initially recognised proportionally at fair value of the identifiable net assets of the entity acquired and subsequently measured according to the changes in shareholders' equity attributable to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests even if this results in a negative balance of non-controlling interests. According to the classification of interest as shareholders' equity or liabilities, the non-controlling interests are recognised within shareholders' equity respectively as other liabilities.
CA Immo Group enters into joint ventures with one or more partner companies in the course of establishing project development partnerships, whereby joint management of these ventures is established by contract. Interests in jointly managed companies are accounted for according to the equity method in the consolidated financial statements of CA Immo Group (AEJV – at equity joint ventures).
According to the equity method, investments in joint ventures are initially recognised at the date of acquisition in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, including directly attributable ancillary costs. The subsequent measurement is affected by any increase/decrease of this value, based on the group's share in profit or loss and the other comprehensive income (adjusted by interim gains and losses resulting from transactions with the group), dividends, contributions and other changes in the equity of the associated company, as well as by impairment.
Loans granted to joint ventures are assigned to the category "amortised cost" (AC). They are measured at fair value upon recognition, and subsequently at amortised cost, applying the effective interest-rate method and taking into account any impairment, according to IFRS 9. CA Immo Group generally evaluates loans granted to joint ventures together with the equity held in these entities because the loans are considered as part of the net investment. If the equity of the entities reported under the equity method becomes negative, the loans considered as part of the net investment are impaired to the level of the loss not yet recognised.
Once the book value of the interest in a company has decreased to zero and possible long-term loans to the companies are impaired to zero as well, additional losses are recognised as a liability only to the extent that CA Immo Group has a legal or effective obligation to make further payments to the company.
Non-controlling interests are assigned to the category "fair value through profit or loss" (FVtPL). The valuation of the investment is made at fair value upon recognition. Subsequent changes in value are presented in profit or loss as "result from financial investments". If a listed price on an active market is not available, the fair value of investments which own investment properties will be updated based on internal valuations, mostly based on external professional opinions for the properties.
The individual group companies record foreign currency transactions at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the relevant transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency existing at the reporting date are translated into the particular functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Any resulting foreign currency gains or losses are recognised in the income statement of the relevant business year.
The currency translation of assets and liabilities is based on the following exchange rates:
| Bid | Sale | Bid | Sale | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | 31.12.2023 | ||

| USA | USD | 1.0367 | 1.0467 | 1.1028 | 1.1128 |
The group reporting currency is the Euro (EUR). Since the Euro is generally also the functional currency of those companies included in the consolidated financial statements that are domiciled outside the European Monetary Union in Eastern Europe, the financial statements prepared in a foreign currency are translated in accordance with the temporal method. Under this method, investment properties (including properties under development) as well as monetary assets and liabilities are translated at closing rates, whereas own used properties as well as other non-monetary assets are translated at historical exchange rates. Items in the income statement are translated at the average exchange rates of the relevant reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from the currency translation are recognised in the income statement.
The functional currency of management companies in Eastern Europe is the respective local currency in each case. The amounts in the statements of financial position are translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Only shareholders' equity is translated at historical rates. Items of the income statement are translated at the average exchange rates of the relevant reporting period. Gains and losses arising from the application of the closing rate method are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Individual financial statements were translated on the basis of the following rates of exchange:
Determination of the functional currency
In determining the functional currency CA Immo Group differentiates basically between property entities and management entities.
In the real estate transaction market in the countries where CA Immo Group owns investment properties, the properties and property entities are usually purchased and sold in Euro due to the active international investors in those markets. In addition, CA Immo Group almost entirely concludes lease contracts in Euro, or, in case these contracts are not concluded in Euro, they are almost entirely indexed to the Euro exchange rate.
Hence, the Euro has the most influence on the sales price of goods (real estate sales) and services (rental services) offered by CA Immo. This fact is also stated in external valuation reports, as values are stated in EUR.
Moreover, CA Immo finances its property in Euro. The price of the most essential cost factor of a real estate company is therefore also determined in Euro.
In consideration of the above mentioned factors, the Euro is determined as the functional currency of CA Immo Group's property companies, which are included in the consolidated financial statements and located outside the territory of the European Monetary Union.
The invoicing of services (management services provided to the property companies by management companies) in Eastern Europe is carried out in the respective local currency. The prices are set in the respective local currency, which therefore have the most significant influence on the sales prices of the provided services. Furthermore, these companies also employ staff which is paid in the respective local currency. The prices for the key cost factors are therefore determined based on the respective local currency. Cash flow is generated mostly independently from the parent company.
In consideration of the above mentioned factors, the respective local currency is the functional currency of CA Immo's management companies, which are included in the consolidated financial statements and located outside the territory of the European Monetary Union.
The global economy continues to be characterised by volatility, uncertainty and slowing growth, particularly in Europe. The sanctions and export control measures imposed by the European Union and other countries on Russian companies and individuals have contributed to increased inflationary pressures in the past (including higher oil and natural gas prices), gas supply shortages, supply chain disruptions and increased market volatility. Despite falling energy prices and moderating inflation in 2024, general uncertainty remains, particularly for the real estate sector.
The economic and political environment has changed the property sector significantly. Factors such as interest rates and geopolitical developments are also key variables influencing demand for property investments. These circumstances also have a direct impact on property valuations through their economic impact and their influence on the capital and property markets, which varies from sector to sector.
In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, both interest rates and risk premiums for financing have risen rapidly. Despite a temporary fall in key interest rates, the CA Immo Group continues to be affected by higher financing costs in a medium-term historical comparison. During business year 2024, the market for unsecured capital market financing for property companies recorded a significant increase compared with the previous year. At the end of October 2024, CA Immo Group successfully issued a non-subordinated, unsecured, fixed-rate green bond with a volume of €350M, a term of 5.5 years and an annual coupon of 4.25%.
Development projects are often subject to cost overruns and delays in completion. Despite the inclusion of project contingencies, it cannot be excluded that a further increase in construction costs could lead to risks to the budget and the overall success of the project. Property values depend not only on the development of general economic conditions and, in particular, rental prices, but also on yields in the property sector. The rise in general interest rates in recent years has led to a further increase in property yields and a decline in property values. The changed economic environment is also having an impact on the transaction markets and the market valuation of the company.
From today's point of view, the negative consolidated net result for the business year as a consequence of the property valuation losses has no material effect on the CA Immo Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the CA Immo Group will be able to continue its business activities. From today's perspective, the CA Immo Group has sufficient liquidity (including fixed-term deposits) and an unused credit line of €300M as at the balance sheet date to continue its business activities. In addition, there are still undrawn credit lines for the financing of development projects under construction in Germany, which will be drawn on successively by the financing banks as construction progresses.
Nevertheless, the impact of current macroeconomic developments on the currently challenging property market environment cannot be yet fully assessed. Inflationary pressures, although declining, and related interest rate increases in recent years, together with other factors weighing on the global economy (notably the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East as well as newly started customs regime of the USA), have risen the potential for increased market volatility. Past experience has shown that consumer and investor climate can quickly adapt to new circumstances, which can be associated with increased market volatility in conjunction with the observed heavily reduction in market liquidity.
The effects of geopolitical developments and the impact of developments on the stock and financial markets on the future asset, financial and earnings position of CA Immo Group cannot be conclusively assessed and are evaluated on an ongoing basis.
The financing strategy of the CA Immo Group is based on a balanced mix of secured and unsecured financings with the aim of minimising financing costs and interest rate risk while maximising the average maturity and flexibility.
Bank financing, bonds and promissory loans in the CA Immo Group are subject to financial covenants, which entitle some of the creditors to early termination or partial repayment in the event of a breach and some of which merely impose restrictions with regard to further borrowings. For investment properties, these are essentially key performance indicators such as the loan-to-value ratio (LTV), i.e. the ratio of the loan amount to the fair value of the property, the interest service coverage ratio (ISCR), i.e. the ratio of rental income to interest expense, the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), i.e. the ratio of rental income to debt service for a period and debt yield (DY), i.e. the ratio between net rental income and loan value. For investment properties under development, the relevant financial covenants are the loan-tocost (LTC) ratio, i.e. the ratio of the amount of debt capital to the total project costs, and a development-specific interest coverage ratio (which represents the ratio of planned future rental income to interest expenses). In addition, there are two further covenants for the Group's revolving credit facility: the secured debt ratio (the ratio of total secured debt to the value of the properties) and the ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured net debt.
Due to the ongoing challenging economic development, it cannot be ruled out that there may be violations of contractual conditions (financial covenants, such as DSCR, DY, LTV, LTC) in the future. Covenant breaches are possible for secured properties due to further market value corrections, unplanned vacancies and rent losses. Quarterly internal covenant testing on a property-by-property basis is the foundation for proactive action in relation to financing partners. From today's perspective, a breach of the bond covenants appears unlikely. As of the reporting date 31.12.2024, no financial covenants of the CA Immo Group were breached.
CA Immo Group's ESG commitment includes targets, corresponding strategies and measures to achieve these targets, comprehensive voluntary reporting and a commitment to compliance with various established standards in the areas of environmental, social and governance (ESG). The Management Board as a whole is responsible for the Group-wide, holistic implementation of sustainability in the corporate strategy and compliance with it.
The commitment to sustainability embedded in the corporate strategy is also implemented in CA Immo Group's remuneration model. The performance of the Management Board is assessed according to both financial and non-financial criteria that include social interests, environmental and governance issues ("ESG" issues).
Based on the materiality analysis conducted by the CA Immo Group, the most relevant ESG risks and opportunities are those related to climate change adaptation (physical risks) and the transition to a climate-neutral economy (transitory risks). These are listed below.
ESRS E1 (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) addresses the material topic of climate change. In terms of adaptation to climate change, physical damage and impairment of buildings can be caused by acute or severe weather events. These damages can lead to higher costs for operation, repair and maintenance works, including temporary closures or a loss in value of the building. This particularly affects the portfolio management business area.
The topic of climate change is supplemented by the aspects of climate protection and energy (transition risks). In this context, regulatory changes aimed at reducing emissions or enforcing higher efficiency standards can result in compliance costs, higher construction and financing costs or poorer availability of debt capital as well as poorer marketability and thus have a negative impact on building value. At the same time, energy efficiency improvements and the expansion and use of renewable energies represent potential opportunities, as they reduce operating costs, increase property value and are attractive to tenants who value sustainability and cost efficiency. These aspects affect both the portfolio management and project development business areas. In addition, the concept of green finance enables lower financing costs and better availability of debt capital for buildings with a good energy and climate balance, which also has a positive impact on the portfolio management and project development business areas.
CA Immo Group's carbon footprint is largely driven by energy consumption for heating, cooling and other electrification of our existing buildings.
The main levers for achieving a reduction in emissions are therefore purchase of energy from renewable sources, increasing the energy efficiency of buildings, phasing out fossil fuels (gas and oil heating), reducing installed emissions, selling buildings and involvement of tenants.
At the end of February, the European Commission published a new package of proposals to simplify EU rules – including changes on the CSRD, CSDDD, and EU Taxonomy (Omnibus proposals). These changes introduced have not been reflected in this report.
A comprehensive risk and vulnerability analysis in accordance with the EU taxonomy (adaptation to climate change) was carried out in the 2024 in order to assess the corresponding risk exposure of the portfolio in relation to physical climate risks. The climate risk analysis was location-based and took into account chronic and severe risks as well as temperature- and wind-related risks and water- and land-related risks. The evaluation focused on short-term, current risks as well as the time horizon up to 2100. In the final step, corresponding adaptation solutions already available in or around the affected buildings were analyzed for these climate risks. The results of the analysis show that there are currently no properties in the CA Immo Group portfolio that are exposed to significant physical risks, as adequate adjustment solutions have already been implemented for these.
In respect of climate-related transition risks, the risk evaluation is based on the following regulations and benchmarks, among others: firstly, the provisions of the new version of the EU Buildings Directive, which came into force in 2024 and must be transposed into national law by the member states by 2026. These define steps and guidelines for increasing the energy efficiency of buildings, including on the basis of energy performance certificates (energy efficiency classes). Furthermore, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme serves as a basis for risk evaluation, which is expected to be extended to the buildings and transport sectors from 2027 (EU ETS-2) and prices for Scope 1 emissions from fossil fuels (e.g. gas and oil heating). Thirdly, the decarbonization benchmark CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor), which provides national decarbonization pathways according to the 1.5° scenario for the years 2030 and 2050 for the building sector, is used to identify and evaluate buildings with an increased stranding risk.
Transitory risk factors for the long-term marketability and value stability of buildings therefore include:
Measures to decarbonise and adapt to climate change are continuously implemented as part of the strategic capital rotation programme - from the development of energy-efficient buildings for the Group own portfolio to the targeted sale of older buildings that are inefficient in terms of energy and CO2 emissions and where refurbishment is not economically feaseble.
The costs of these measures are continuously evaluated for the individual buildings and considered in CapEx planning. In 2024, a total of around €80M was invested in one refurbishment and two new construction projects that include measures to protect the climate and adapt to climate change.
The above mentioned climate risks and their analysis can be reconciled with the critical climate-related assumptions in the financial statements. In principle, insurable risks are insured to the usual extent. As at 31.12.2024, the CA Immo Group assumes that the climate risks identified have no material impact on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of CA Immo Group (valuations, cash flow forecasts, provisions or other financial performance indicators).
The sustainability and ESG risks and opportunities associated with the asset, as well as other property characteristics, are implicitly considered as far as possible in the applied valuation assumptions. As at the valuation date, there was insufficient market data available to allow an explicit quantifiable approach. Therefore, ESG-related characteristics of the property were included in the valuation approaches based on the perception of the rental and investment market.
The following standards and interpretations, already adopted by the EU, were applicable for the first time in the business year 2024:
| Standard/Interpretation | Content | Entry into force1) |
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 | Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements | 1.1.20241) |
| Amendments to IAS 1 | - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current | 1.1.20241) |
| - Non-current Liabilities with Covenants | ||
| Amendments to IFRS 16 | Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback | 1.1.20241) |
1) The standards and interpretations are to be applied to business years commencing on or after the effective date.
The amendments to IAS 1 have led to more detailed disclosures regarding existing financial covenants for interestbearing liabilities, which have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The initial applications of other standards have no material effect on CA Immo Group.

1) The standards and interpretations are to be applied to business years commencing on or after the effective date.
2) Not yet adopted by the EU as of the reporting date. The effective date envisaged by an EU Regulation may differ from the date indicated by the IASB.
The above listed revisions and interpretations are not being early adopted by CA Immo Group.
CA Immo Group is still in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, particularly with respect to the structure of the consolidated income statement, consolidated cash flow statement and the additional disclosures required for Management-defined Performance Measures.
CA Immo Group does not expect any material impact from the first-time application of the other standards.
There were no changes in accounting and calculation methods.

The operating segments generate gross revenues and other income from rental activities, the sale of properties held for trading, the sale of properties as well as from development services. Gross revenues and other income are allocated to the country and segment the properties or services are located/provided in. The arm's length condition of transactions between the operating segments is documented and monitored on an ongoing basis.
Business relationships within an operating segment are consolidated within the segment. Business relationships with other operating segments are disclosed separately and reconciliations to the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of financial position are presented in the "Transition Consolidation" column.
The accounting principles of the reportable segments correspond to those described under the accounting methods for each position (balance sheet as well as income statement). In line with IFRS 16, segment reporting does not include any rights of use/lease liabilities from rental and lease agreements existing between companies of the CA Immo Group. As in the past, such intercompany contracts are recognised as income/expense in the segment reporting and eliminated in the column "Transition Consolidation".
Transactions between operating segments are allocated as follows:
The segments were identified on the basis of the information regularly used by the company's Management Board when deciding on the allocation of resources and assessing profitability. The individual properties are grouped into regions based on geographical areas and into reportable operating segments based on the stage of development of the properties by income producing and other properties. The aggregation of the regions mainly takes place based on evaluation of the market dynamics and the risk profiles which mainly impact economic characteristics. According to the assessment of CA Immo Group, the properties in the portfolio need to be separated into investment properties and other properties, based on the criteria "nature of products and services" and "nature of production processes" according to IFRS 8.
The properties are allocated to the reporting segments according to location/region, their category and the main activities of the management/holding companies. Items that cannot be directly attributed to a property or segment management structure are disclosed in the column "holding". The presentation corresponds to CA Immo Group's internal reporting system. The following segments have been identified:
Joint ventures are included with 100% of the assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses of the entities in the segment, irrespective of the method of consolidation into the financial statements. Adjustments in accordance with the consolidation method in CA Immo Group are shown in the column "Transition Consolidation".
In the segment Eastern Europe core regions and other regions the proportion of the invenstment properties and the following rental income are the following:

CA Immo Group generates rental income from a multitude of tenants. No single tenant generates more than 10% of the total rental income of CA Immo Group (2023: likewise).
Rental revenues according to IFRS 16 are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentive agreements, such as rent-free periods, reduced rents for a certain period or one-off payments, which can be freely used in the course of their businesses, are included in rental income. Therefore, the lease incentives are allocated on a straight-line basis over the entire expected, respectively remaining contractual lease term accordingly. In the case of leases with constant rent adjustment over the term (graduated rents), such adjustments are likewise recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term over which rental income is allocated on a straight-line basis comprises the non-terminable period as well as any further periods for which the tenant can exercise an option, with or without making additional payments, provided that the exercise of the option is estimated as being probable at the inception of the lease.
Rental revenues comprise also components of the service charges reconciliation for which CA Immo Group does not provide the tenant with a separate service however the tenant must reimburse them (for example property taxes, building insurance, usufruct), these being presented under "Income from non-service components of service charges".
Conditional rental income, which is based on revenues generated in the business premises, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are assessed.
Rental income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or outstanding, less any directly related reductions.
Payments received from tenants for the early termination of a lease and payments for damage to rented premises are recognised as rental income in the period in which they are incurred.

The item "Operating costs" includes those parts of the operating costs that can be charged to tenants based on contractual provisions in the rental agreement or statutory regulations. These only include components of the operating cost statement for which the tenant receives a separate service mainly heating/gas €8,847K (2023: €10,699K), electricity/lighting €17,390K (2023: €14,036K) and maintenance €13,073K (2023: €10,277K).
According to IFRS 16, the item "Other directly related expenses" contains expenses from non-service components. These are components of the service charge settlement for which the tenant does not receive a separate service. These relate mainly to property taxes and building insurance expenses and amount to €10,803K in 2024 (2023: €11,164K).
Operating costs incurred by CA Immo Group for properties rented, which trigger a separate performance obligation (non-lease components) to tenants, are presented in the consolidated income statement in "operating costs charged to tenants". Based on an analysis of primary performance responsibility, inventory risk as well as pricing competence, CA Immo Group has to be considered as principal for service charges as it has the primary responsibility for providing the service and is the direct counterpart in case of performance disruptions. The item "operating costs charged to tenants" contains only non-lease components that are within the scope of IFRS 15.

CA Immo Group sold in 2024 three objects in Germany, two objects in Austria and an object in Eastern Europe core regions (asset deals).
In 2023 the sale of investment properties (asset deal) includes the amount of €67,324K which refers to properties Hamburger Bahnhof and Rieckhallen in Berlin, as well as building Rennweg/Mechelgasse, which were held for sale as at 31.12.2022.
In 2023, CA Immo Group sold real estate assets respectively shares in real estate companies, which are partly own used. In connection with the sale and lease back agreements, the income from sale was correspondingly reduced in amount of €1,543K.
Income from the sale of properties is recognised when:
Non-current earnings received in advance are measured at par value and subsequently with a reasonable market interest rate reflecting maturity and risk. The accrued interest is recognised in the consolidated income statement in the financial result.
In accordance with IAS 40, investment properties are measured at each reporting date and changes in fair values are recognised in profit or loss, as result from revaluation (revaluation gain/loss). When property assets are sold, the valuation result realised during the current business year is reclassified to the result from the sale of investment properties together with other expenses in relation to the disposal.

Revenues are to be recognised in according with IFRS 15, when a performance obligation is fulfilled by transferring an agreed good or service to the customer. An asset is deemed to be transferred when the customer gains control of that asset. Control over a good or a service is transferred at a specific point in time if the obligation is not satisfied over a period of time. If one of the following criteria is met, the performance obligation is fulfilled over a period of time:
If a performance obligation is met over a period of time, according to IFRS 15, the contract related transaction price as well as contract performance and acquisition costs must be recognised as revenues or expenses, in accordance with the performace progress as at balance sheet date. The cost-to-cost method is used in the CA Immo Group for the ongoing monitoring of construction projects and is a reliable method for determining the progress of the service performance. Thereby, to determine the performance progress, the ratio of the contract respectively construction costs incurred up to balance sheet date to the estimated total contract costs, respectively construction costs (cost-to-cost method) is applied.
A rendered service is a service for a customer, which can be satisfied in time-based units (for example time based advice for building conversion, planning services or project assistance). Income from service contracts is recognised to the extent of the services rendered up to the reporting date (accounting by time unit).
CA Immo Group also offers services in the form of construction supervision for customers, which are handled as construction contracts. The income from construction contracts (e.g. project management, construction supervision and acceptance of, for example building construction, interior works or development of land) is recorded in accordance with the provision of services.

The assignment is based on the activities of the departments for the developments. These internally-produced capitalised expenses and capitalised changes in work-in-progress respectively are reported as an adjustment of the indirect expenses. As long as these services are rendered to joint ventures of CA Immo Group, no decrease of the indirect expenses, but "income from services rendered" is recognised.

The following table provides an overview of the book values as at the respective reporting dates:
Some properties are of mixed use – they are used both to generate rental income and appreciation in value as well as partially for administrative purposes. If these respective portions can be sold individually, CA Immo Group recognises them separately. If the portions cannot be separated, the entire property is only classified as an investment property if the own used part occupies less than 5.0% of the total useful area.
Changes in classification for real estate assets (standing investments, investments under development, own used, held for trading) are to be considered when a change in the use is made. Transfers in or out from investment property are made, for example when:
The item "investment properties" consists of investment properties and properties under development that are held neither for own use nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but to generate rental income and to appreciate in value. Usufruct rights for developed land and the rental of parking spaces for subletting lead to the recognition of right of use assets, which are assigned to the item "investment properties".
Properties under development are reclassified to investment properties upon completion of the main construction works and rental income is gained. Investment properties, whose rental process is stopped for a new development, are reclassified to properties under development.
Investment properties are measured according to the fair value model. Changes in the current book value before revaluation (fair value of previous year plus subsequent/additional acquisition or construction cost less subsequent acquisition cost reductions as well as the impact from the deferral of lease incentives) are recognised in the income statement under "result from revaluation".
Investment grants are accounted for as deduction of construction costs.
Borrowing costs arising during property construction are allocated to the construction costs if they have been used for a qualifying asset (direct and generally borrowed funds). A qualifying asset is an asset that takes a substantial period of time (in principle more than 12months) to be ready for its intended use or for sale. In cases in which debt is not directly attributable to an individual qualifying asset, the proportional amount of the total finance costs is allocated to the qualifying asset. The capitalisation rate for the generally borrowed funds is calculated as a weighted average of the borrowing cost for all loans, however with the exception of debt specifically raised for the qualifying asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The carrying amount of the right of use asset in form of usufruct rights for the developed land as well as for rented parking spaces intended for sublease corresponds to the lease liability. These rights of use fulfill the definition of investment property and are therefore to be measured at fair value subsequently. The scheduled depreciation for these rights of use assets is not applicable and is replaced by the revaluation recognised in the profit or loss instead. The valuation reports prepared by the appraisers reflect the fair value of the respective property as a whole, as it is expected to be attainable on the market. The fair value prepared by the appraiser represents the expected realizable amount of the property. As the lease liability is separately accounted for, the presentation of the investment property without the right of use asset would lead to an incorrect result. For this reason, the fair value according the appraisal has to be increased by the lease liability as at balance sheet date.
IFRS 13 defines the fair value as the price that would be received following the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. The price could be directly observable or estimated using valuation techniques. Corresponding to the inputs used to determine of the fair values, the measurement hierarchy distinguishes between the following levels:
100% (31.12.2023: 100%) of the properties in Austria, 100% (31.12.2023: 99.9%) of the properties in Germany, and 100% (31.12.2023: 100%) of the properties in Eastern Europe, which is recognised at fair value, were subject to an external valuation as of the reporting date 31.12.2024. CA Immo Group generally commissions external valuation reports every six months. CA Immo Group provides on property level all material and valuation related information and documents to the appraisers. Before finalization of the valuation reports internal controls (e.g. input testing) and plausibility checks are applied. Afterwards the experts finalize the valuation reports.
The external valuations are made in accordance with the standards defined by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The RICS defines the market value as the estimated amount for which an asset or liability could be exchanged on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The selection of the independent, external real estate experts for CA Immo Group is based, on the one hand on professional qualification, which is measured by national and international standards, such as HypZert, RICS or public appointments and swearing-ins and on the other hand by giving consideration to local market presence and penetration.
The valuation method applied by the expert for each property particularly depends on the property's stage of development and its type of use.
The appraiser uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to determine the fair value of investment properties. The fair value (market value) represents the present value of future expected cash flows and the present value of the residual value (terminal value) at the end of the period under consideration. In most cases, the residual value is derived by capitalizing the potential annual rental income with the capitalization rate. The present value of the cash flows and the present value of the residual value are then determined using the discount rate. The discount and capitalisation rates are described in the following as interest rates and yields.
For properties under development and construction and for properties whose lease is terminated in the following year for redevelopment, the residual or comparative method is applied.
Under this method, the market value is based on the estimated market value upon completion, less expected outstanding expenses and after applying a reasonable developer profit in the range of 4.25% to 15% of the market value upon completion (31.12.2023: 6% to 15%). Developer profit for properties under development, which are nearly completed, ranges at the bottom of the margin according to their reduced risk. Risks of investment properties (after completion) considered are, the estimated future rents and initial yields in the range from 4.05% to 4.55% (31.12.2023: 3.25% to 4.5%) and financing interest rates in the range from 4.25% to 5.25% (31.12.2023: 5% to 6%). The rates vary in particular depending on the general market climate, location and type of use. The closer a project is to completion, the greater the portion of parameters that are based on actual or contractually fixed amounts. After completion or immediately before completion, the properties are valued by applying the DCF method (see above), adjusted for outstanding work.
The following table shows the essential input factors for the valuation of investment property and property under development (the properties are assigned to each class based on their main use). The tables show for the properties in each classification the minimum and maximum values for rent and interest rate, the area-weighted average values for rent and vacancy as well as the weighted yield based on the potential rent (sum of current rental income and vacancies at market rents) and the average remaining lease terms calculated in years. The input factors relate to the property assets on the reporting date. The development of the classes can be seen in the analysis by class.
For a meaningful presentation of the fair values, starting 2024 the fair value of the own used properties will no longer be included in the inputfactors or in the hierarchy classification. Previous year amounts were correspondingly restated. Additionally, classes Hotel Germany and Other Germany are now summarized under Hotel and Other Germany and the classes Retail Austria and Other Austria under Retail and Other Austria.
The sustainability and ESG risks associated with the asset, as well as other real estate characteristics, are implicitly taken into account in the valuation assumptions applied.
As at valuation date, available market data was not sufficient for an explicit quantifiable approach. Therefore, ESG related criteria of the investment property were included implicitly in the valuation method, based on perception of the leasing and investment market.

The essential input factors that determine the fair values for investment property are the actual rents and market rents as well as the interest rates (yields). Increasing rents (e.g. a short supply and increased demand) would cause ceteris paribus increasing fair values. Vice versa, the fair value ceteris paribus decreases when the rents are decreasing.
Increasing yields (e.g. the market expects increasing interest rates due to increasing risks – excessive supply, etc.) would cause ceteris paribus decreasing fair values. Conversely, the fair value ceteris paribus would increase if the yield decreases (e.g. higher demand for this type of investment property).
Both input factors have a reinforcing impact – as well in a positive or negative way – when they appear jointly. This means that a strengthened demand for rental space as well as a simultaneously strengthened demand for such investment property would cause an even greater increase of the fair value. Vice versa, a decrease in the demand for rental space as well as a decreased market demand for investment property would cause an even heavier decrease of the fair value.
For properties under development, construction costs are another essential input factor. The market value of properties is mainly determined by the expected rental income and the yield. It is in this area of conflict that new development projects are planned and calculated. Given that the calculated construction costs, which are a major influencing factor in development, could change during the development phase because of both market related factors (e.g. shortage of resources on the markets or oversupply) and planning-related factors (e.g. necessary additional changes, unforeseeable problems, subsequent savings, etc.), they have a significant influence on profitability. These additional opportunities/risks are given appropriate consideration in a developer's profit (risk/profit).
The fair value for rented properties, properties under development as well as land banks corresponds to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy according to IFRS 13.
Reclassifications between levels did not occur in 2024 and 2023.
The following tables show the development of separate classes that are assigned according to IFRS 13 to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

All valuations represent an estimate of the price that could be obtained in a transaction taking place at the valuation date. Valuations are based on assumptions, such as the existence of an active market in the region concerned. Unforeseen macroeconomic or political crises could have a significant influence on the market. Such events can trigger panic buying or selling, or a general reluctance to conclude business transactions. If a valuation date falls within a period immediately following an event of this kind, the data underlying the valuation may be questionable, incomplete or inconsistent, which inevitably affects the reliability of the estimate.
Due to low transactions in the historical comparison, geopolitical conflicts as well as further factors weighing on the economy, a higher potential for increased volatility on the markets can not be excluded. The past has shown that consumer and investor sentiment can adapt quickly to new circumstances, which can lead to increased market volatility in combination with the observable sharp reduction in liquidity. Transaction volumes have remained clearly below the levels of previous years.
For properties that currently have a high vacancy rate or short-term leases in non-A-locations the influence of the appraiser's assumptions on the property value is higher than for properties in prime locations with cash flows that are secured by long-term contracts.
The property values established by external appraisers depend on several parameters, some of which influence each other in a complex way. For the purposes of a sensitivity analysis for sub-portfolios in respect of changes in value caused by the change in one parameter, individual input factors vary (while other factors stay unchanged) in order to present possible changes.
The below tables illustrate the sensitivity of the fair values to a change in expected rental income (for the purposes of this model, defined as market rent) as well as the discount rates of the expected future cash flows and the capitalization interest rates of the residual value (terminal value) at the end of the reporting period for all investment properties excluding properties held for sale.

For the development projects under realisation, which are valued by the residual value method, the table below illustrates the sensitivity of the fair value to an increase or decrease in the projected outstanding development and construction costs. Development projects actively being developed were used as the basis.

The sensitivity analysis of the projects under development in realization (for 2024: 2 projects, for 2023: 1 project) is based on an average percentage of completion of approximately 45% (2023: around 30%) as at the balance sheet date, related to total construction costs. The sensitivity only relates to the outstanding costs of the building constructions works. The outstanding capital expenditures will reduce with the increase of the percentage of completion. Based on the residual value method this leads to an increase in the fair value of the projects under development. An increase or decrease of the outstanding capital expenditures leads to an inverse development of the fair value of the projects under development, within the residual value method.

The fair value of assets held for sale corresponds to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy according to IFRS 13.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as "held for sale" if the relevant book value is expected to be realised from disposal and not from continued use. In this case, the relevant non-current assets and disposal groups are available for immediate sale in their current condition and a disposal is highly probable. Furthermore, the sale must be expected to be completed within one year of the classification as held for sale. Disposal groups consist of assets and liabilities that will be sold together in a single transaction.
Non-current assets and disposal groups that are classified as held for sale are generally recognised at the lower of book value and fair value less costs to sell. Investment properties, measured according to the fair value model, interest bearing liabilities measured at amortised cost, as well as deferred taxes valued according to IAS 12 and financial assets according to IFRS 9 are exempt from this rule.

An expected loss on receivables is calculated based on the maturity, the past due period and the individual payment performance of the relevant debtor, taking into account any security received. The simplified allowance model of IFRS 9 for leasing receivables is applied, so that the expected credit losses for the whole remaining duration of the instrument are presented. Uncollectible receivables are derecognised. Subsequent payments in respect of receivables for which impairment losses have been incurred, are recognised as income in the consolidated income statement. CA Immo Group limits the credit risk mostly by means of deposits, bank guarantees and related securities. The following risk categories exist:
| Risk category | Description | Expected credit loss |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (low risk) | Low default risk; timely payments of the counterparty |
12month-expected credit loss |
| 2 (increased risk or simplified approach) | Overdue receivables and all leasing receivables due to application of simplified approach. |
Liftetime expected credit loss |
| 3 (high risk due to delay of payment) | Diminished credit standing due to enduring non payment, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings |
Liftetime expected credit loss |
| 4 (derecognition) | No expected payments. | Full write-off. With the final default the receivable is derecognised. |
CA Immo Group sets the expected credit losses based on aging and expected insolvency rates per country (for category 2 and category 3). For category 1 (low risk) the credit loss for the expected remaining maturity (maximum 12 months) is determined based on CDS (credit default swaps) default rates, for example, or expected credit losses.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash in banks that is available at any time. Cash in banks subject to drawing restrictions with an original term of up to three months and to which CA Immo Group has only restricted access is presented in "fund of cash and cash equivalents". As at 31.12.2024 and 31.12.2023, the CA Immo Group has no cash in banks subject to drawing restrictions with up to three months. Cash in banks subject to drawing restrictions is used for securing outstanding loans for income producing properties (repayment, interest and CAPEX) as well as current investments in development projects and cash deposits for guarantees.
Cash in banks subject to drawing restrictions of more than 3 but less than 12months is presented as "receivables and other assets".
Fixed-term deposits that do not meet the requirements for being shown as cash and cash equivalents are presented in the item "fixed cash deposits".
The expected credit losses for cash and cash equivalents are determined based on the default probability of each financial institution. For the computation of the expected credit losses, CA Immo Group takes into consideration the expected period it takes to transfer cash and cash equivalents to other financial institutions.

The bonds are subject to financial covenants. These are mainly key indicators such as gearing (net debt/total assets), secured debt ratio (secured net debt/total assets) and interest coverage (EBITDA/net interest income) adjusted for the result from the sale of non-current assets and one-off effects. Additionally, the bonds are subject to so-called "Change of Control" regulations. These stipulate that, in the event of a change of control - as defined in the terms and conditions of the respective bond terms and conditions of the respective bond, bondholders have the right to demand that the issuer redeem the bonds in whole or in part at the redemption amount or, at the issuer's option, to purchase (or arrange for the purchase of) the bonds.
The utilization of funds from the 2024-2030 bond (Green Bond) is tied to the allocation rules defined in the Green Bond Framework. The allocation rules require that a certain amount has to be used to finance or refinance, in whole or in part the green projects which meet the criteria specified in the 2024 green bond framework. This includes the financing or refinancing of the construction of new commercial properties meeting the criteria for the LEED or DGNB Gold or BREEAM Excellent sustainability certification (as a minimum standard); and/or the financing or re-financing of properties which meet certain criteria of the EU Taxonomy Substantial Contribution Criteria (Climate Change Mitigation Objective).
The utilization of funds from the 2020-2025 bond (Green Bond) is tied to the allocation rules defined in the 2020 Green Bond Framework. The allocation rules require that a certain amount has to be used to finance or re-finance, in whole or in part the green and social projects which meet the criteria specified in the 2020 green bond framework. This includes the financing or re-financing of the construction of new commercial properties meeting the criteria for the LEED or DGNB Gold sustainability certification (as a minimum standard); and/or the financing or refinancing of properties where the primary energy requirement is at least 25% lower than the prescribed values.
As at 31.12.2024 no bonds were in breach of covenants (31.12.2023: no breaches).

The Euro is the contract currency of 100% of the loans, loan notes and bonds (31.12.2023: 100% in EUR).
The bank financings of CA Immo Group are subject to financial covenants. These are generally for investment properties LTV (loan to value, i.e. ratio between loan amount and the fair value of the property) and debt service coverage ratio. Debt service coverage ratio is generally assessed using the following key figures DY (debt yield), DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) or ISCR (interest service coverage ratio) depending on loan agreement and project-specific requirements. For project financings, the LTC (Loan to Cost, i.e. the ratio between the loan amount and the total costs of the project) and an ISCR (Interest Service Coverage Ratio, i.e. the ratio of planned future rental income to the interest expense for a period) are generally applied.
The promissory loans are also subject to financial covenants. These are: interest coverage ratio (EBITDA/financing costs), gearing ratio (net debt/total assets) and secured debt ratio (secured net debt/total assets). Additionally, the promissiory loans are subject to so-called "Change of Control" regulations. These stipulate that lenders have the right to demand from the borrower the immediate repayment of capital amount, in accordance with the interest, by giving notice of termination.
Other interest-bearing liabilities, for which the relevant financial covenants were not met as at 31.12.2024, are presented in short-term interest-bearing liabilities regardless of their maturity, because breaches of the financial covenants generally entitle the lender to early termination of the loan agreement. This applies irrespective of the state of negotiations with the banks regarding a continuation or amendment of the loan agreements. As at 31.12.2024 no loans were in breach of covenants (31.12.2023: no breaches).
All financial covenants must be tested individually for each property or at Group level in accordance with the specific ancillary agreements. These must be either backward-looking or forward-looking and must be complied with as at the reporting dates 31.3., 30.6., 30.9. and 31.12. The financial covenants are tested for compliance on each reporting date. Due to the large number of different specific regulations, the following table only shows ranges of the financial covenants to be applied.

From the interest-bearing liabilities that are subject to financial covenants, the loan and the promissory loans generally entitle the creditor to premature termination or partial repayment in the event of a breach, unless the breach is not remedied in due time. Bonds do not entitle bondholders to early termination or redemption in the event of a breach of the financial covenants, but lead to restrictions in respect of additional borrowings.
If it is foreseeable that a financial covenant may not be met in the future, negotiations with the banks regarding an amendment to the loan agreement are conducted at an early stage. As at 31.12.2024, this is related to a loan with a nominal value of €41,745K (2023: no credit).
Interest-bearing liabilities are assigned to the category "amortised cost" (AC) and recognised upon disbursement at the amount actually received less transaction costs and for the lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments. Any difference between the amount received and the repayment amount, respectively between the present value and the nominal value of the lease liabilities is allocated over the term of the financing, according to the effective interest-rate method, and is recognised as financing costs or, if the conditions set forth in IAS 23 are met, capitalized as borrowing costs of construction works.
When a change or amendment in the contractual terms of a liability is recognised as a redemption (i.e. the obligations specified in the contract are cancelled or the 10% threshold of the present value test is not met), then all incurred expenses and fees are deemed to be part of the gain or loss from the redemption. Changes or amendments in terms of loan agreements that do not result in a redemption, lead to an adjustment of the carrying value of the liability. The change in the fair value, as a result of changed or amended terms, is presented in the profit or loss statement and amortized as effective interest over the remaining duration.

Other provisions mainly consist of provisions for services (audit services, tax and legal advice), property taxes, real estate transfer taxes, service expenses for properties, warranty risks and interest connected to tax audits.
The reversal of the provision for subsequent costs of sold properties essentially results from the elimination of obligations or transfers to third parties in Germany.
Provisions are recognised if CA Immo Group has a legal or constructive obligation towards a third party as a result of a past event and the obligation is likely to lead to an outflow of funds. Especially for provisions for construction works and expenses related to sold investment properties it is necessary that estimations (eg. of a construction project, qualitative appraisals of service providers, price related risks or for the concrete fulfillment or scope of an obligation) are taken into consideration. Such provisions are recognised in the amount representing the best possible estimate at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. If the present value of the provision determined on the basis of prevailing market interest rates differs substantially from the nominal value, the present value of the obligation is recognised.

Management Board and Long term incentive (LTI) programmes
The bonus payment for the Management Board consists of a Short-Term Incentive (STI) linked to non-financial and financial performance criteria with a single-year performance period and a Long-Term Incentive (LTI) in the form of performance share units with a five-year vesting period and a payout linked to the total shareholder return (Total Shareholder Return "TSR") at the end of the vesting period. The long-term incentive is part of the CA Immo Group long-term incentive remuneration programme that applies to Management Board members as well as to selected key employees of the company.
The short-term incentive is based on sustainable operational and qualitative targets and takes into account both financial and non-financial performance criteria. The short-term incentive is limited to 125% (200% until 30.6.2023) of the annual base salary. The amount of the short-term incentive actually paid depends on the percentage of target attainment (0%-100%). The latter is determined by the Remuneration Committee at the end of each financial year. Starting 1.7.2023, the short-term incentive is paid out in full in the following year as an annual bonus, based on target achievement.
Until 30.6.2023, the variable remuneration system for the Management Board was structured with one half of the variable remuneration as an annual bonus linked to the achievement of short-term targets set annually by the Remuneration Committee.The second half was based on the outperformance of the following indicators defined: return on equity (ROE), funds from operations (FFO) and NAV growth. The level of the bonus actually paid depended on the degree of target achievement, which was determined by comparing the agreed and actually achieved values at the end of each business year and set by the Remuneration Committee.
Up to and including 2022, half of performance-related remuneration takes the form of immediate payments (STI). The remaining 50% flowed into a long term incentive (LTI) model and were/will be paid in cash after a certain holding period. This (LTI) performance-related remuneration was converted into phantom shares (Phantom shares) on the basis of the average rate for the last quarter of the relevant business year. For the LTI tranches started until 2021, the payment of phantom shares is made in cash in three equal parts after 12 months, 24 months (mid term incentive) and 36 months (long term incentive).
The last tranche of this LTI programme (phantom share plan) expires in 2024 (payout in 2025). The LTI tranche 2023- 2026 (performance shares) is paid out as a one-off payment after a four-year vesting period, subject to a cap of 250% of the target amount of the LTI. The tranche granted on the basis of this system expires in 2026 (payout in 2027). The conversion of the phantom shares is made at the average rate or in the case of the performance share plan at the volume weighted average price for the last quarter of the year preceding the payment year.
In order to promote a high level of alignment with the company's objectives, selected employees are entitled to variable remuneration in addition to their fixed salary, thus enabling them to participate in the company's success.
The long-term incentive programme (LTI) is revolving and does not involve any personal investment. The plan grants performance-related remuneration in the form of virtual shares in CA Immo AG. The final number of virtual shares is determined on the basis of performance criteria linked to the medium-term strategy and share performance. The target amount of the LTI is divided by the volume-weighted average CA Immo AG share price (= closing price on the Vienna Stock Exchange) over the 3-month period prior to 31.12. of the respective bonus year. This method is used to calculate the preliminary number of virtual shares. Based on the performance criteria measured at the end of the four-year performance period, the final number of virtual shares is determined. The LTI is generally determined as of 31.12. in the last year of the four-year performance period. Equal-weighted performance criteria for the LTI are Funds From Operations ("FFO") I and Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") against the EPRA Nareit Developed Europe ex UK Index. Each tranche starts with a target value based on the executive's respective function, which would be received at the end of the term of the respective tranche if 100% of the targets were achieved. The amount allocated to a performance criterion is determined by comparing agreed targets with values actually achieved and expressed as a percentage. Allocation between the performance thresholds is linear. The final number of virtual shares is capped at 200% of the preliminary number of virtual shares. For the payout, the final number of virtual shares is multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of the last three months of the performance period. The resulting amount is paid out in cash, subject to a cap of 250% of the LTI target amount.
For this kind of share-based remuneration, which is settled in cash, the liability incurred is recognised over the vesting period as a provision in the amount of the attributable fair value. Until the debt is settled, the attributable fair value is determined afresh on every closing date and settlement date. All changes are recognised in the income statement in the relevant business year.
In 2023, the LTI for the Management Board and additionally for the selected employees was completely redesigned and respectively expanded, as part of PSU programme.
The aim of the new LTI is to align the interests of the Management Board and selected employees with those of the company's shareholders and to create an incentive for a long-term positive total shareholder return (TSR). Participants in the PSU programmes are allocated performance share units (PSU), which represent a share of the potential profit share volume of the programme (€50M). The term (vesting period) is five years, with one third of the PSUs being vested on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the inception date. In addition, accelerated vesting may take place in special cases (e.g. dividend distributions of a certain amount, loss of control events). The starting reference price per PSU shall be the 6-months volume-weighted average share price at the Vienna Stock Exchange (ISIN AT0000641352), before the beginning of the programme, with the VWAP as defined by Bloomberg as the trading benchmark calculated by dividing the total trading volume (sum of price/price times trading volume) by the total volume (sum of trading volumes), including each qualifying transaction ("6m-VWAP") at the inception day. The exit reference price per PSU shall be the 6m-VWAP preceding the end of the 5-year programme. The minimum total shareholder return (TSR) hurdle rate required for profit share pay-out under the LTI is 9% p.a., considering all dividends distributed to shareholders during the term of the programme. The profit share per PSU attributable to the holder of the PSU is 10% of the excess shareholder profits above the hurdle rate, as determined by the company appointed auditor.
The remuneration from this PSU programme is settled in cash and is based on the expected long-term return on equity, which is adjusted for random fluctuations and estimated based on historical volatility of the share. Until the debt is settled, the attributable fair value is determined afresh on every closing date and settlement date. The liability incurred is recognised over the vesting period as a provision in the amount of the attributable fair value All changes are recognised in the income statement in the relevant business year.
Obligations arising from defined benefit pension plans exist for four persons in the CA Immo Germany Group. The commitments relate to one pension benefit for an already retired managing director, as well as three ongoing pension benefits. In accordance with IAS 19.63, reinsurance contracts in respect of defined benefit pension obligations are presented as a net asset (debt).
Each year, external actuarial calculations are obtained for the defined benefit pension obligations. The defined benefit obligation or liability is calculated according to IAS 19 using the projected unit credit method and based on the following parameters:
| 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Interest rate | 3.08% | 3.36% |
| Salary increases expected in the future | 2.20% | 2.20% |
| Accumulation period | 25 years | 25 years |
| Expected income from plan asset | 3.08% | 3.36% |
The actual return on plan assets for 2024 is 3.36% (2023: 3.91%).
Service cost and interest expense related to the obligation as well as the interest income related to the plan assets are recognised in the year in which they arise. Actuarial gains and losses less deferred taxes related to the obligation and the plan assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.
CA Immo Group has a legal obligation to make a one-time severance payment to staff employed in Austria before 1.1.2003 in the event of dismissal or retirement. The amount of this payment depends on the number of years of service and the relevant salary at the time the settlement is payable. It varies between two and twelve monthly salary payments. In CA Immo Group, contract stipulated severance exists for several employees. According to IAS 19, a provision is recognised for this defined benefit obligation. The interest rate used for the computation of this provision amounts to 2.82% (2023: 3.38%).
CA Immo Group has the legal obligation to pay 1.53% of the monthly salary of all staff joining companies in Austria after 31.12.2002 into a staff pension fund. No further obligations exist. The payments are considered as staff expenses and included in indirect expenses.
Based on agreements with a pension fund in Austria and a benevolent fund for small and medium-sized enterprises in Germany, a defined contribution pension commitment exists for employees in Austria and Germany after a certain number of years of service (Austria: 1 year irrespective of age; Germany: immediately upon reaching the age of 27). The contribution is calculated as a percentage of the relevant monthly gross salary, namely 2.5% in Austria and 2.0% in Germany. The contributions paid vest after a certain period (Austria: 3 years; Germany: 3 years) and are paid out as monthly pension upon retirement.

As at 31.12. deferred tax assets and liabilities are split as follows:
The recorded tax losses include deferred tax assets related to impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries in Austria amounting to €0K (31.12.2023: €0K), which have to be deferred over the next years for income tax purposes.
Not recognised deferred taxes mainly relate to tax loss carryforwards in CA Immo Group, interest losses in CEE and business tax losses in CA Immo Group Germany. Tax loss carryforwards and impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries for which deferred taxes were not recognised expire as follows:
| € K | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| In the following year | 3,399 | 1,107 |
| Between 1 - 5 years | 23,548 | 9,489 |
| More than 5 years | 10,734 | 4,830 |
| Without limitation in time | 242,888 | 244,320 |
| Total unrecorded tax losses carried forward | 280,568 | 259,746 |
| thereupon non-capitalised deferred tax assets | 58,893 | 55,433 |
The total taxable temporary differences related to investments in Austrian affiliated companies and joint ventures for which no deferred taxes were recognised pursuant to IAS 12.39 amount to €349,042K (31.12.2023: €352,458K). Tax loss carryforwards and impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries of the Austrian companies that were not recognised amount to €221,768K (31.12.2023: €213,906K). Thereof the unrecognised deferred tax asset related to impairment losses on investments which have to be deferred over the next years for income tax purposes amounts to €14,361K (31.12.2023: €18,562K).
The total taxable temporary differences related to investments in foreign affiliated companies and joint ventures for which no deferred taxes were recognised pursuant to IAS 12.39 amount to €94,656K (31.12.2023: €100,537K). Tax loss carry forwards not recognised of foreign entities amount to €58,799K (31.12.2023: €45,840K).
All companies are subject to local income tax on current results and capital gains in their respective country. Significant estimates are required in respect of the amount of income tax provisions to be recognised. Moreover, it needs to be determined to which extent deferred tax assets should be recognised in the Group consolidated financial statements.
Income from the disposal of investments in real estate companies can be taxable or wholly or partially exempt from income tax. The scope of the exemption depends on compliance with certain requirements and on the rules of the applicable double taxation agreement. Even if the group intends to meet these conditions, the full amount of deferred taxes, under consideration of the initial recognition exemption, according to IAS 12 is recognised for investment properties.
Property sales and sale of shares (KG or GmbH) have different trade tax consequences in Germany. For any potential application of the trade tax reduction in the case of a property sale, strict requirements regarding of the business activities of the selling company must be met. The accounting for deferred trade tax at CA Immo Group is based on the asumption that the sale occurs without fulfilling the conditions for the trade tax reduction. Only when it is ensured that CA Immo Group will meet the requirements for the trade tax reduction in a specific case and the real estate disposal is highly probable is a deferred trade tax no longer be recognized.
The income tax expense reported for the business year contains the income tax on the taxable income (current and for other periods) of the individual subsidiaries calculated at the tax rate applicable in the relevant country ("current tax"), and the change in deferred taxes recognised in profit or loss ("deferred tax"), as well as the tax effect arising from amounts recognised in equity not giving rise to temporary differences and recognised in equity (e.g. the tax related to ancillary expenses for capital increases). Changes in deferred taxes resulting from foreign currency translation are included in deferred income tax expense.
In line with IAS 12, the calculation of deferred taxes is based on all temporary differences between the tax base of assets or liabilities and their book values in the consolidated statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets on tax losses carried forward are recognised taking into account the fact whether they can be carried forward indefinitely or only up to a certain time as well as the extent of their expected use in the future. The amount of the deferred tax asset recognised is determined based on projections for the next 3 to 5 years which show the expected use of the tax losses carried forward in the near future and on the existence of sufficient taxable temporary differences, mainly resulting from investment property.
A group and tax compensation agreement was concluded in Austria for the formation of a tax group as defined by Section 9 of the Austrian Personal Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax Act (KStG) for all companies of CA Immo Group. The head of the group is CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft, Vienna.
For certain entities within the CA Immo Germany Group a tax group has been established in accordance with German income tax legislation. The head of the tax group is CA Immo Deutschland GmbH, Frankfurt. Based on profit and loss transfer agreements the members of the tax group are required to transfer their entire profit to the head of the group (being the annual surplus before the profit transfer, less any loss carried forward from the previous year and after recognition or release of reserves). The head of the group has an obligation to balance any annual deficit arising in a group entity during the term of the agreement to the extent that such deficits exceed the amounts which can be released from other reserves that have been allocated out of profits earned during the term of the agreement.
This item amounting to €7,916K (31.12.2023: €13,433K) relates to the CA Immo Germany Group and comprises corporate income tax and trade tax from the fiscal years from 2022 until 2024 not yet assessed by the tax authorities as well as results of finalized tax audits.
This includes an amount of €30,388K (31.12.2023: €53,781K) relating to CA Immo Germany Group and comprises corporate income tax and trade tax for the years 2022 and 2024, which have not been finally assessed by tax authorities as well as results of finalized tax audits.
For the purpose of recognising tax provisions, estimates have to be made. Uncertainties exist concerning the interpretation of complex tax regulations as well as calculation methods to determine the amount and timing of taxable income. Due to these uncertainties and the complexity estimates may vary from the real tax expense also in a material amount. This may include amended interpretations of tax authorities for previous periods. CA Immo Group recognises appropriate provisions for known and probable charges arising from ongoing tax audits.
Uncertainty in the tax treatment of transactions require an assessment of whether the relevant tax authority is likely to accept the interpretation of the tax treatment of the transaction or not. Based on this assessment, the CA Immo Group recognizes tax liabilities at the amount considered most probable in the event of uncertainty. These uncertainties and compexities may result in future tax payments being significantly higher or lower than the obligations currently assessed as probable and recognised in the balance sheet.
There are uncertainties regarding the possible retrospective application of subsequent tax changes with regard to completed restructuring measures in Eastern Europe that have been agreed with the tax authorities. CA Immo Group estimates the probability of the actual burden due to the subsequent change in the tax consequences of restructuring measures carried out in the past as low.
Material assumptions also need to be assessed if temporary differences and losses carried forward can be offset against taxable profits in the future and if therefore deferred tax assets can be capitalised. Uncertainties exist concerning the amount and effective date of future taxable income.
CA Immo Group holds a significant part of its real estate portfolio in Germany, being subject to numerous complex tax regulations. In particular, CA Immo Group has to constantly deal with (i) roll-over schemes in order to transfer undisclosed, hidden reserves to other investments, (ii) legal provisions relevant to the real estate transfer tax/possible incurrence of real estate transfer tax in the event of direct or indirect shareholder changes in German partnerships and corporations, (iii) the tax recognition of outsourcing of operating facilities, (iv) the distribution of the commercial income over several businesspremises as well as (v) the deduction of input VAT on construction costs, as an ongoing issue in the development phase of projects. CA Immo Group takes all necessary steps in order to comply with the relevant tax rules. However, because of circumstances that are out of CA Immo Groups control, such as changes in ownership structure, tax laws as well as alterations of interpretation by the tax administration and courts, the aforementioned tax issues might be treated differently and, therefore, could have an impact on the tax position in the consolidated financial statements.
Uncertainties exist in connection with the tax deductibility of service invoicings within the Group. CA Immo Group always aims to charge a price at arm's length for internal services and to prepare adequate documentation. In addition, external service providers are appointed for the preparation of transfer pricing documenatation to comply with all legal requirements, but the tax authorities can have a different view and subsequently reach different conclusions. This can lead to tax consequences for the deductibility of internal service invoicings, which could trigger subsequent tax payments for previous periods.
The actual and final capital losses from the liquidation of holding companies in Cyprus were claimed for tax purposes in Austria (spread over seven years). It cannot be completely ruled out that the tax authorities may have a different approach regarding the amount or recognition.
Currently existing uncertainties are continually evaluated and may lead to adjustments of estimates.

The fair value of the receivables and other assets in the category of "Amortised Cost" (AC) essentially equals the book value due to daily and/or short-term maturities. The primary financial instruments mainly consist of loans granted to joint ventures, which are considered and valued as part of the net investment in the entities (this corresponds to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy), as well as long term deposits from tenants.
Financial assets are partially pledged as securities for financial liabilities.

The interest rate derivatives are recognised at fair value. The fair values are calculated by discounting the future cash flows from variable payments on the basis of generally recognised financial-mathematical models. The interest rates for discounting the future cash flows are estimated by reference to an observable market yield curve. The calculation is based on interbank middle rates. The fair value of the derivatives corresponds therefore to level 2 of the measurement hierarchy according to IFRS 13.
There were no reclassifications between the levels in 2024 and 2023.
A correction of the measurement of the interest rate derivatives due to CVA (Credit Value Adjustment) and DVA (Debt Value Adjustment) is only conducted when the adjustment reaches a significant extent.
CA Immo Group also enters into bank financing for investments properties whereby a minimal interest limit is contractually agreed. In this case it needs to be investigated whether an embedded derivative subject to separation is present. An embedded minimal limit on interest rates of a debt instrument is closely linked to the host contract if, at the date of entering the contract, the minimal interest limit is equal or below the prevailing market rate. CA Immo Group examines the existence of an embedded derivative for the necessity of separation from the host contract by comparing the agreed interest plus the valuation of the minimal interest rate limit with the market interest rate (reference interest plus margin). If the market interest rate (reference interest plus margin) exceeds the contractually agreed interest in each future period, there is no obligation to separate the embedded derivative. CA Immo Group has identified in one loan agreement an embedded derivative subject to separation.
CA Immo Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, floors, caps, in order to hedge against interest and currency risks. These derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value at the time the contract is concluded and remeasured at fair value in the following periods. Derivative financial instruments are recognised as financial assets if their value is positive and as financial liabilities if their fair value is negative.
Derivative financial instruments are presented as non-current financial assets or liabilities if their remaining term exceeds twelve months and realisation within twelve months is not expected. All other derivative financial instruments, whose remaining term is below twelve months, are presented as current assets or liabilities.
The method applied by CA Immo Group when recognizing gains and losses from the subsequent measurement of derivative financial instruments depends on whether the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting (hedging of future cash flows) are met or not.
The interest rate swaps were designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship in accordance with IFRS 9. The hedged risk results from the difference between the expected future variable interest payments based on the 3M-Euribor and the future fixed interest rates for construction financing.
In the case of derivative financial instruments for which the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting are met and the cash flows are hedged, the part of the profit or loss from the hedging instrument that is determined as an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. Any remaining profit or loss from the hedging instrument represents an ineffectiveness of the hedge and is recognised in profit or loss.
The ineffectiveness of this hedging transaction is measured using the dollar offset method. Expenses and income which are not recognised in the other comprehensive income, are recognised in the profit or loss as ineffectiveness under the item "result from derivatives". The hedging relationship between the hedging instrument and the underlying transaction as well as its effectiveness is evaluated and documented when the hedging transaction is concluded and then on an ongoing basis.
According to IFRS 9, a financial instrument is to be measured at fair value at initial recognition. However, if the fair value deviates from the transaction price when initially recognised and it is also not observable in an active market, the difference is to be accrued in line with IFRS 9 and may only be recognised as gain or loss to the extent that it results from a change in a factor (including the time factor) that the market participants would consider when pricing the asset or liability. For this reason, CA Immo Group has created a deferred item for the difference between the transaction price of the interest rate swaps and their fair value at the initial recognition, which will be released to profit or loss over the term using the effective interest method.
Pursuant to IFRS 9, derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are assigned to the category "fair value through profit or loss" (FVtPL). Changes in the fair value are therefore recognised entirely in profit or loss in the item "result from derivatives".
The fair values of interest rate swaps, caps and floors are calculated by discounting the future cash flows from variable payments on the basis of generally accepted financial models. The interest rates for the discount of the future cash flows are estimated on basis of an interest rate curve, which is observable on the market. Interbank middle rates are used for the calculation.
Embedded derivatives are basically to be accounted separately from the host contract if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to these of the host contract, if they independently fulfill the definition of a derivative and the entire instrument is not valued at fair value through profit or loss. The embedded derivative is classified as "fair value through profit or loss" (FVtPL) and is measured at fair value through profit or loss at each balance sheet date. The changes in fair value are fully presented in profit or loss as "result from derivatives".
Risks arising from changes in interest rates basically result from long-term loans and interest rate derivatives and relate to the amount of future interest payments (for variable interest instruments) and to the fair value of the financial instrument (for fixed rate instruments). A mix of long-term fixed-rate and floating-rate loans is used to reduce the interest rate risk. In case of floating-rate loans, derivative financial instruments (interest rate floors, caps and interest rate swaps) are also used to hedge the cash flow risk of interest rate changes arising from hedged items. In addition to the general interest rate risk (interest level) there are also risks arising from a possible change in the credit rating, which would lead to an increase or a decrease of the interest margin in the course of a follow-up financing.
The following sensitivity analysis outlines the impact of variable interest rates on interest expense as well as on the valuation of derivatives (swaps). It shows the effect on the result of the financial year of a change in interest rate by +/-50 basis points on the interest expenses. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Currency risks result from rental revenues and receivables denominated in CZK, HUF, PLN and RSD. This foreign currency rental income is secured by linking the rental payments to EUR, so that no major risk remains.
The book values disclosed for all financial assets, guarantees and other commitments assumed, represent the maximum default risk as no major set-off agreements exist.
Tenants provided deposits amounting to €21,212K (31.12.2023: €19,765K) as well as bank guarantees of €53,428K (31.12.2023: €48,388K) and group guarantees in the amount of €14,615K (31.12.2023: €13,777K).
The credit risk for liquid funds with banks is monitored according to internal guidelines.
Liquidity risk is the risk that CA Immo Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. CA Immo Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due, whilst avoiding unnecessary potential losses and risks. Loans are usually agreed on a long-term basis in accordance with the long-term nature of real estate.
The CA Immo Group manages liquidity risk in several different ways: firstly, by means of detailed and continuous liquidity planning and securing to avoid possible liquidity shortages. Secondly, CA Immo Group secured at the reporting date an unused revolving credit facility of €300M in the fourth quarter of 2021. In addition, the CA Immo Group has also financing lines that have not yet been utilized, which serve to finance development projects under construction in Germany and will be successively provided by the banks as construction progresses.
The revolving credit facility is subject to financial covenants. These are essentially key figures such as interest cover ratio (EBITDA excl. net sales/net interest income), gearing ratio (net debt/total property assets), collateralized solvency ratio (secured financial liabilities/total property assets) and collateralization ratio (unsecured property assets/unsecured net debt).
External capital is raised by CA Immo Group from a wide variety of domestic and foreign banks. The contractually agreed (undiscounted) interest payments and repayments for primary financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments are presented in the table below.

For variable interest bearing liabilities and derivatives the cashflows are determined based on assumed values for the underlying forward rates as at the respective balance sheet date.
The objective of CA Immo Group's capital management is to ensure that the Group achieves its goals and strategies, while optimising the costs of capital in a sustainable way and in the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. In particular, it focuses on achieving a return on equity that exceeds the cost of capital. Furthermore, the external investment grade rating should be supported by adequate capitalisation and by raising equity for the growth targets in the upcoming fiscal years.
The key parameters in determining the capital structure of the CA Immo Group are:
CA Immo Group follows an Investment Grade financial policy. As a long term strategic goal an equity ratio of 45% - 50% respectively a Loan-to-Value ratio of 30% - 40% (net debt to real estate) is targeted.
As at 31.12.2024 the equity ratio was 42.5% (31.12.2023: 43.8%). The target range is a self-defined, strategic guideline. It has no impact on any external financial covenants. The net LTV stood at 38.2% as at 31.12.2024 (31.12.2023: 36.6%).
The proportion between the secured and the unsecured debt should generally be balanced. As at 31.12.2024 smaller share of 48% (31.12.2023: 47%) is attributable to unsecured corporate bonds and promissory loan. The remaining share of 52% (31.12.2023: 53%) is attributable to secured property loans and lease liabilities, which are usually taken directly by the company in which the property is held.
Net debt and the gearing ratio are other key figures relevant to the presentation of the capital structure of CA Immo Group:

| LTV (net) | 38.2% | 36.6% |
In calculating the gearing, for simplicity the book value of the cash and cash equivalents has been taken into account. The cash at banks with drawing restrictions > 3 months is included in the calculation of net debt, if it is used to secure the repayments of interest bearing liabilities.

As at 31.12.2024, CA Immo Germany Group is subject to guarantees and other commitments resulting from purchase agreements for decontamination costs and war damage costs amounting to €105K (31.12.2023: €105K). Furthermore, comfort letters and securities have been issued for no (31.12.2023: one) joint venture in Germany (31.12.2023: €2,000K). As a security for the liabilities of one (31.12.2023: two) joint ventures loan guarantees, letters of comfort and declarations were issued totalling €2,500K (31.12.2023: €6,500K) in Germany. Furthermore, as security for warranty risks in Germany a guarantee was issued in an amount of €9,000K (31.12.2023: €17,589K).
In connection with disposals, marketable guarantees exist between CA Immo Group and the buyer for coverage of possible warranty- and liability claims, which have been recognised in the statement of financial position accordingly. The actual claims may exceed the expected level.
As at 31.12.2024, CA Immo AG is the defendant in a total of four actions for avoidance. Three actions for avoidance relate to Annual General Meetings in previous business years (the Annual General Meetings in 2021 and 2022 and the Extraordinary General Meeting in 2021). On 6.6.2024, CA Immo AG was served with an action for avoidance relating to the 37th Annual General Meeting on 2.5.2024. The actions for avoidance are mainly directed against resolutions in connection with the discharge of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, elections to the Supervisory Board and the payment of additional dividends. The proceedings are partly in appeal proceedings and partly (again) in proceedings at first instance, whereby to date only procedural aspects (on the legal question of the plaintiff's capacity to be a party) have been at issue for the most part.
Mortgages, pledges of rental receivables, bank accounts and share pledges as well as similar guarantees are used as market collateral for bank liabilities.
In 2020, CA Immo AG filed a first (partial) action for damages of €1M and later a second action for damages of approx. €1.9bn both against the Republic of Austria and the federal state of Carinthia. These two actions were based on the criminal indictment against the former Austrian minister of finance Mr. Grasser and others for crimes in relation to the privatization of the of state-owned residential property companies (like BUWOG) in 2004 at the expense of CA Immo AG. In December 2020, the criminal court of first instance convicted Mr. Grasser and others, whereas their nullity complaints and the appeals are still pending. In November 2023, the civil court of first instance dismissed CA Immo AG´s first action for damages of €1M due to limitation of claims. CA Immo AG successfully appealed and in June 2024 the appellate court determined – not yet legally binding - that CA Immo AG´s claims are not time-barred. The Supreme Court will decide on the revision of the defendants. The second action is interrupted until a final judgment in the first proceedings. In December 2023, the Supreme Administrative Court decided that the second civil action for damages is not exempt from court fees (paid already in 2021). The complaint submitted to the European Court of Human Rights in this regard was rejected by the Court in February 2025.
In addition, there are other financial obligations of order commitments related to building site liabilities for work carried out in the course of developing real estate in Germany in the amount of €77,852K (31.12.2023: €110,471K), in Eastern Europe in the amount of €5,663K (31.12.2023: €2,449K) and in Austria in the amount of €454K (31.12.2023: €208K). Furthermore, in Germany there are other financial commitments resulting from construction costs from urban development contracts which can be capitalised in the future in an amount of €7,887K as at 31.12.2024 (31.12.2023: €10,408K).
If the amount of an obligation cannot be estimated reliably, the outflow of funds from the obligation is not likely, or the occurrence of the obligation depends on future events, it represents a contingent liability. In such cases, a provision is not recognised and an explanation of material facts is disclosed in the notes.
All lease contracts concluded by CA Immo Group, under which CA Immo Group is the lessor, are recorded as operating leases in accordance with IFRS. These generally have the following essential contractual terms:
Future minimum rental income from as at 31.12. existing term lease contracts or contracts with termination waivers, which do not include properties held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, as at the reporting date are as follows:
| € K | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| In the following year | 217,017 | 226,886 |
| in the second year | 197,533 | 208,011 |
| in the third year | 157,737 | 184,626 |
| in the fourth year | 126,284 | 148,969 |
| in the fifth year | 102,460 | 117,223 |
| after more than five years | 275,954 | 316,994 |
| Total | 1,076,985 | 1,202,709 |
All remaining rental agreements may be terminated at short notice and are not included in the table above.
The minimum rental income includes net rent amounts to be collected until the contractually agreed expiration of the contract or the earliest possible termination option by the lessee (tenant).
According to IFRS 16, the allocation of a leased asset to the lessor or lessee is based on the criterion of accountability of all significant risks and rewards associated with ownership of the leased asset. The characteristics of the CA Immo Group as lessor of investment properties corresponds to an operating lease because the economic ownership remains with CA Immo Group for the rented properties and thus the significant risks and rewards are not transferred.
CA Immo Group classifies leases as operating lease when the underlying contract does not represent a finance lease. A finance lease exists when:
The lease contracts concluded by CA Immo Group acting as lessee primarily relate to rented properties in Munich (until 2027), in Frankfurt (until 2025) and Vienna (until 2026), rented parking space, software, leases of cars, the rental of furniture and office equipment as well as usufruct of land. No purchase options have been agreed.
The CA Immo Group presents the rights of use in the same balance sheet item in which the underlying assets would be shown if they were owned by the CA Immo Group. The lease liabilities are also included in the balance sheet item "Interest-bearing liabilities". The users of the financial statements can find the detailed disclosures according to IFRS 16 in the relevant chapter of the notes to which the individual disclosure belongs.
The expense for short-term leases amounts to €36K (2023: €75K) and the expense for leases related to assets of low value amounts to €34K (2023: €41K). The total cash outflows for leases amount to €4,617K (2023: €4,793K).
Extensions and termination options are taken into account when measuring lease liabilities, if using an option is highly probable. However, this measurement is discretionary, therefore the estimates can be changed in the future. In a first step the term of the underlying contract is used and only in case indicators are available (e.g. information from valuation reports, particularly favourable contract terms, changed operating requirements) a termination or an extension option will be considered in the cash outflows when measuring the lease liability.
CA Immo Group determines whether an arrangement contains a lease based on the economic substance of the arrangement and evaluates whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveyed a right to use the asset. This is the case only when the contract entitles CA Immo Group to control the use of a clearly identified asset in exchange for consideration for a certain period of time. In doing so, it is relevant that throughout the period of use, CA Immo Group can obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the identified asset and it has the right to direct the use of such an asset. However, an asset is only considered identified when the supplier does not have a substantive substitution right. If, based on the agreement, the supplier is actually able to exchange the asset for another during the period of use and if the exchange results in economic benefits, there is no identified asset and no recognition of a right of use takes place. Due to the lack of control over the software, cloud software solutions generally do not fulfill the criteria of a clearly identified asset. The costs for the software are expensed over the contractual period.
When accounting for leases, assets in the form of right of use are capitalized and lease liabilities are recognised. CA Immo Group applies practical expedients and does not recognize any rights of use/lease liabilities for short-term leases (less than 1 year) as well as leases with underlying assets of low value (< €5,000) and software.
Retrospective adjustment of lease payments, for example based on index adjustments are considerered as variable leasing payments and recognised as profit or loss in the current period. An adjustment of a right of use asset/lease liability is only made on the base of future cash outflows.
The following companies and parties are deemed related parties to the CA Immo Group:
– joint ventures, in which CA Immo Group holds an interest
– the corporate bodies of CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft
– Starwood Capital Group ("Starwood") (from 27.9.2018)

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.
The following is the key audit matter that we identified:
| Titel | Valuation of Investment Property |
|---|---|
| Risk | CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft reports investment properties in the amount of TEUR 4.249.739 and investment properties under development in the amount of TEUR 457.030 in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024. The consoli dated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 also include a result from revaluation amounting to TEUR -199.630. |
| Investment properties are measured at fair value based on valuation reports from external, independent valuation experts. |
The valuation of investment properties is subject to material assumptions and estimates. The material risk for every individual property exists when determining assumptions and estimates such as the discount/capitalization rate and rental income and for investment proper-
| oper's profit. 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, as sumptions and estimates are shown in the notes in Section "3.1 Long-term property assets" in the consolidated financial statements. Section "2.1 Operating segments" in the consolidated financial statements shows the result from revaluation per segment. |
|
| 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: Assessment of the applied methods, assessment of the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions (eg. Rental income, discount/capitaliza tion rate, usable space, vacancy rate) by means of comparison with market data (if availa ble) as well as comparison whether the fair values as per property valuation reports are within our own developed range of fair values |
|
| –Check of certain input-data as included in the valuation reports with data in the accounting system or underlying agreements |
|
| –Inquiry of project-management for selected properties under development regarding rea sons for deviations between plan and actual costs and current estimation of cost to comple tion; check of actual costs for those projects through review of project-documentation and vouching on a sample basis as well as evaluation of the derived percentage of completion –Assessment of the adequacy and completeness of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements by the management |
ties under development the construction and development costs to completion and the devel-
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.
We received the consolidated Corporate Governance Report until the date of this audit opinion; the rest of the annual report is estimated to be provided to us after the date of the auditor's report.
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.
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 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 the details in accordance with Section 243a Austrian Company Code UGB, and is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
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 2, 2024. We were appointed by the Supervisory Board on June 3, 2024. We are auditors since the financial year 2017.
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.

CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft ("CA Immo AG") is classified as public interest entity according to section 189a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and as a large company according to section 221 Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).
The annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the current version and with the principles of proper accounting and general standards, to present a true and fair view of assets, financial situation and profit and loss. Furthermore, going concern principle, prudence and completeness as well as individual valuation of assets and liabilities were taken into account in the preparation of the financial statements.
For profit and loss, classification by nature was used.
The global economy continues to be characterised by volatility, uncertainty and slowing growth, particularly in Europe. The sanctions and export control measures imposed by the European Union and other countries on Russian companies and individuals have contributed in the past to increased inflationary pressures (including higher oil and natural gas prices), gas supply shortages, supply chain disruptions and increased market volatility. Despite falling energy prices and moderating inflation in 2024, general uncertainty remains, particularly for the property sector.
The economic and political environment has changed the property sector significantly. Factors such as interest rates and geopolitical developments are also key variables influencing demand for property investments. These circumstances also have a direct impact on property valuations through their economic impact and their influence on the capital and property markets, which varies from sector to sector.
The current situation has no impact on the accounting policies applied.
The annual financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the CA Immo AG and its subsidiaries will be able to continue its business activities. From today's perspective, the CA Immo AG has sufficient liquidity and an unused credit line of €300M as at the balance sheet date to continue its business activities.
Property values depend not only on the development of general economic conditions and, in particular, rental prices, but also on yields in the property sector. The rise in general interest rates in recent years has led to a further increase in property yields and a decline in property values. The changed economic environment is also having an impact on the transaction markets and the market valuation of the company.
Nevertheless, the impact of current macroeconomic developments on the currently challenging property market environment cannot yet be fully assessed. Inflationary pressures, albeit easing, and related interest rate increases in recent years, together with other factors weighing on the global economy (notably the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East as well as newly started customs regime of the USA), have increased the potential for increased market volatility.
The effects of geopolitical developments and the impact of developments on the stock and financial markets on the future asset, financial and earnings position of CA Immo AG cannot be conclusively assessed and are evaluated on an ongoing basis.
In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, both interest rates and risk premiums for financing have risen rapidly. Despite a temporary fall in key interest rates, the CA Immo AG and its subsidiaries continue to be affected by higher financing costs in a medium-term historical comparison. The financing strategy of the CA Immo AG is based on a balanced mix of secured and unsecured financings with the aim of minimising financing costs and interest rate risk while maximising the average maturity and flexibility.
Bank financing, bonds and promissory loans in the CA Immo AG and its subsidiaries are subject to financial covenants, which entitle some of the creditors to early termination or partial repayment in the event of a breach and some of which merely impose restrictions with regard to further borrowings or dividend distribution ("cash trap" clauses) on the respective subsidiary. Due to the ongoing challenging economic development, it cannot be ruled out that there may be violations of contractual conditions (financial covenants) in the future. Covenant violations are possible for secured properties of CA Immo AG and its subsidiaries due to further market value corrections, unplanned vacancies and rent losses. From today's perspective, a breach of the bond covenants appears unlikely. As of the reporting date 31.12.2024, no financial covenants of the CA Immo AG and its subsidiaries were breached.
Intangible and tangible assets are stated at acquisition or production cost reduced by scheduled depreciation, if depreciable, and unscheduled depreciation, where required.
| Years | ||
|---|---|---|
| from | to | |
| Software | 3 | 4 |
| Fit-outs | 5 | 10 |
| Buildings | 33 | 50 |
| Other assets, office furniture and equipment | 2 | 20 |
Scheduled depreciation is performed on a linear basis, with the depreciation period corresponding to useful life expectancy. Additions in the first half of the business year are subject to full annual depreciation, while additions in the second half are subject to half of the annual depreciation.
Unscheduled depreciation is only carried out where it is anticipated that permanent value impairments will occur. Reversal of impairments recognised in prior periods are recorded if the fair value is higher than the book value at the balance sheet date, but below amortised costs.
Shares in affiliated companies and investments are stated at acquisition costs less unscheduled depreciation.
Loans to affiliated companies are stated at acquisition costs less repayments made and unscheduled depreciation.
Unscheduled depreciation is only recorded if permanent impairment losses are expected to occur. A reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior periods is recorded if the fair value is considerably higher than the book value at the balance sheet date. The valuation is done by a simplified subsidiary valuation model based on the fair value of the respective property for IFRS purposes adjusted for other assets or liabilities of the subsidiary.
Receivables are stated at nominal value. Identifiable default risks are considered by carrying out individual value adjustments. Interest receivables are recognised based on of the agreed interest rates. Income from investments is recognised on the basis of shareholders' resolutions. In addition, a dividend resolved for 2023 and already distributed in the reporting period was recognised as at 31.12.2023.
Reversal of short-term assets impairments or the release of allowances are made when the underlying reasons for such decreases are no longer valid.
Prepayments are recorded under deferred charges. Additionally, the disagio of the bond is capitalised under this item and released over the redemption period, according to the effective interest rate method.
Cloud software solutions do not fulfil the criteria of a clearly identifiable asset due to the lack of control over the software. Costs for software development are deferred and recognised as an expense over the term of the contract.
Rent prepayments and investment allowances from tenants are shown under deferred income and will be released over the minimum lease term.
Deferred taxes are recognised in accordance with Art 189 par 9 and 10 in Austrian Commercial Code using the balance sheet approach and without discounting on the basis of the corporate tax of 23% (31.12.2023: 23%). Deferred taxes with a tax rate of 3% were also applied to deferred taxes of tax members, which themselves account for only 20% of group tax (instead of 23% corporate income). CA Immo AG records tax losses amounting to the maximum of a deferred tax liabilities surplus, taking into account the 75% threshold. A surplus of tax losses carried forward is not recognised.
The grants relate entirely to buildings and are released over the remaining useful life of the building.
Provisions for severance payments for employees amount to 103.7% (31.12.2023: 124.4%) of the imputed statutory notional severance payment obligations at the balance sheet date. The calculation is performed using the PUC method, which is recognised in international accounting, based on an interest rate of 2.82% (31.12.2023: 3.38%) and future salary increases (including inflation rate) of 3.90% (31.12.2023: 8.20%) for employees without taking into account a fluctuation discount. For the computation of severance payments provisions, AVÖ 2018-P was used as actuarial basis. The period for build-up is until retirement, i.e. for a maximum of 25 years, or until the end of the contract for Management Board members. Interest as well as effects from the change in interest rate were recorded in "personnel expenses".
Tax and other provisions are made on a prudent basis, in accordance with anticipated requirements. They take into account all identifiable risks and not yet finally assessed liabilities.
Liabilities are stated at the amount to be paid.
In business year 2005 a group and tax compensation agreement was concluded for the formation of a tax group within the meaning of section 9 of the Austrian Corporation Tax Act (KStG) effective from business year 2005. In the subsequent years this was expanded by additional group members or reduced by members leaving the group. The group is headed by CA Immo AG. In business year 2024 the tax group comprised 9 Austrian group companies (2023: 11), in addition to the group head entity.
The allocation method used by the CA Immo tax group is the distribution method where tax profits of a group member are offset against pre-group tax losses carried forward and the remaining profit of the group member taxed at a rate of 20% (in 2023: 21%), respectively up to a tax rate of 23% (in 2023: up to 24%) if the tax group has a profit. Losses carried forward of a group member are retained. In case of termination of the tax group or the withdrawal of a tax group member, CA Immo AG, as group head entity, is obliged to pay a final compensation payment for unused tax losses that have been allocated to the head of the group. These compensation payments are based on the fair value of all (national) prospective tax reductions, which the group member would have potentially realised, if it had not joined the tax group. Upon withdrawal of a tax group member or termination of the tax group, the final compensation payment will be determined through the professional opinion of a mutually appointed chartered accountant. As at 31.12.2024 the possible obligations against group companies resulting from a possible termination of the group, were estimated at €8,610K (31.12.2023: €12,980K).
Tax expenses in the profit and loss are reduced by the tax compensation of tax group members.

Share capital is equivalent to the fully paid in nominal capital of €774,229,017.02 (31.12.2023: €774,229,017.02). It is divided into 106,496,422 (31.12.2023: 106,496,422) bearer shares and four registered shares of no par value. Out of the nominal capital 9,341,683 treasury shares (31.12.2023: 8,780,037), each amounting to €7.27, thus totaling €67,914,035.41 (31.12.2023: €63,830,868.99), were deducted from shareholders' equity. The registered shares are held by SOF-11Klimt CAI S.à r.l., Luxemburg, an entity managed by Starwood Capital Group, each granting the right to nominate one member of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board currently consists of two members elected by the Annual General Meeting as well as two members elected by the registered shares and two delegated by the works councel.
The Management Board of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG resolved a share buyback programme in accordance with Article 65 para 1 no. 8 of the Austrian Corporation Act (AktG) on the basis of the authorizing resolution of the 36th Annual General Meeting on 4.5.2023 ("Authorisation"). The volume totals up to 1,869,606 shares (representing approx. 1.76% of the current share capital of the company). The share buyback programme foresees share purchases via the stock exchange. The conditions for this purchase are based on the authorisation. In particular, the lowest amount payable on repurchase must not be less than 30% and must not exceed 10% of the average unweighted price at the close of the market on the ten trading days preceding the repurchase. The maximum amount payable shall not be higher than the most recently published IFRS NAV per share. The share buyback programme began on 28.11.2024 and will end on 3.11.2025 at the latest. The buyback will be carried out for any purpose permitted by the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. A general key objective is to increase shareholder value. Until 31.12.2024, 561,646 shares had been acquired under the current programme. The highest consideration paid per share acquired was €24.50, while the lowest consideration paid per share acquired was €22.74. The weighted average consideration paid per share acquired was €23.52 and the total value of shares acquired amounted to €13,210,531 (excluding additional costs).
The total net profit of CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft as at 31.12.2024 amounting to €454,845K (31.12.2023: €460,572K), is subject to dividend payment constraints in the amount of the deferred tax assets of €901K (31.12.2023: €789K).
As at 31.12.2024, there exists unused authority capital in the amount of €154,845,809.22, which can be utilized until 27.9.2028 at the latest, as well as contingent capital in the amount of €154,845,809.22 earmarked for servicing convertible bonds that can be issued in the future based on the authorization of the Annual General Meeting as of 4.5.2023 (contingent capital 2023).

The bonus payment for the Management Board consists of a Short-Term Incentive (STI) linked to non-financial and financial performance criteria with a single-year performance period and a Long-Term Incentive (LTI) in the form of performance share units with a five-year vesting period and a payout linked to the total shareholder return (Total Shareholder Return "TSR") at the end of the vesting period. The long-term incentive is part of the CA Immo Group long-term incentive remuneration programme that applies to Management Board members as well as to selected key employees of the company.
The short-term incentive is based on sustainable operational and qualitative targets and takes into account both financial and non-financial performance criteria. The short-term incentive is limited to 125% (200% until 30.6.2023) of the annual base salary. The amount of the short-term incentive actually paid depends on the percentage of target attainment (0%-100%). The latter is determined by the Remuneration Committee at the end of each financial year. Starting 1.7.2023, the short-term incentive is paid out in full in the following year as an annual bonus, based on target achievement.
Until 30.6.2023, the variable remuneration system for the Management Board was structured with one half of the variable remuneration as an annual bonus linked to the achievement of short-term targets set annually by the Remuneration Committee. The second half was based on the outperformance of the following indicators defined: return on equity (ROE), funds from operations (FFO) and NAV growth. The level of the bonus actually paid depended on the degree of target achievement, which was determined by comparing the agreed and actually achieved values at the end of each business year and set by the Remuneration Committee.
Up to and including 2022, half of performance-related remuneration takes the form of immediate payments (STI); the remaining 50% flowed into a long term incentive (LTI) model and were/will be paid in cash after a certain holding period. This (LTI) performance-related remuneration was converted into phantom shares (Phantom shares) on the basis of the average rate for the last quarter of the relevant business year. For the LTI tranches started until 2021, the payment of phantom shares is made in cash in three equal parts after 12 months, 24 months (mid term incentive) and 36 months (long term incentive).
The last tranche of this LTI programme (phantom share plan) expires in 2024 (payout in 2025). The LTI tranche 2023-2026 (performance shares) is paid out as a one-off payment after a four-year vesting period, subject to a cap of 250% of the target amount of the LTI. The tranche granted on the basis of this system expires in 2026 (payout in 2027). The conversion of the phantom shares is made at the average rate or in the case of the performance share plan at the volume weighted average price for the last quarter of the year preceding the payment year.
In order to promote a high level of alignment with the company's objectives, selected employees are entitled to variable remuneration in addition to their fixed salary, thus enabling them to participate in the company's success.
The long-term incentive programme (LTI) is revolving and does not involve any personal investment. The plan grants performance-related remuneration in the form of virtual shares in CA Immo AG. The final number of virtual shares is determined on the basis of performance criteria linked to the medium-term strategy and share performance. The target amount of the LTI is divided by the volume-weighted average CA Immo AG share price (= closing price on the Vienna Stock Exchange) over the 3-month period prior to 31.12. of the respective bonus year. This method is used to calculate the preliminary number of virtual shares. Based on the performance criteria measured at the end of the four-year performance period, the final number of virtual shares is determined. The LTI is generally determined as of 31.12. in the last year of the four-year performance period. Equal-weighted performance criteria for the LTI are Funds From Operations ("FFO") I and Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") against the EPRA Nareit Developed Europe ex UK Index. Each tranche starts with a target value based on the executive's respective function, which would be received at the end of the term of the respective tranche if 100% of the targets were achieved. The amount allocated to a performance criterion is determined by comparing agreed targets with values actually achieved and expressed as a percentage. Allocation between the performance thresholds is linear. The final number of virtual shares is capped at 200% of the preliminary number of virtual shares. For the payout, the final number of virtual shares is multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of the last three months of the performance period. The resulting amount is paid out in cash, subject to a cap of 250% of the LTI target amount.
For this kind of share-based remuneration, which is settled in cash, the liability incurred is recognised over the vesting period as a provision in the amount of the attributable fair value. Until the debt is settled, the attributable fair value is determined afresh on every closing date and settlement date. All changes are recognised in the income statement in the relevant business year.
In 2023, the LTI for the Management Board and additionally for the selected employees was completely redesigned and respectively expanded, as part of PSU programme.
The aim of the new LTI is to align the interests of the Management Board and selected employees with those of the company's shareholders and to create an incentive for a long-term positive total shareholder return (TSR). Participants in the PSU
programmes are allocated performance share units (PSU), which represent a share of the potential profit share volume of the programme (€50M). The term (vesting period) is five years, with one third of the PSUs being vested on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the inception date. In addition, accelerated vesting may take place in special cases (e.g. dividend distributions of a certain amount, loss of control events). The starting reference price per PSU shall be the 6-months volumeweighted average share price at the Vienna Stock Exchange (ISIN AT0000641352), before the beginning of the program, with the VWAP as defined by Bloomberg as the trading benchmark calculated by dividing the total trading volume (sum of price/price times trading volume) by the total volume (sum of trading volumes), including each qualifying transaction ("6m-VWAP") at the inception day. The exit reference price per PSU shall be the 6m-VWAP preceding the end of the 5-year programme. The minimum total shareholder return (TSR) hurdle rate required for profit share pay-out under the LTI is 9% p.a., considering all dividends distributed to shareholders during the term of the programme. The profit share per PSU attributable to the holder of the PSU is 10% of the excess shareholder profits above the hurdle rate, as determined by the company appointed auditor.
The remuneration from this PSU programme is settled in cash and is based on the expected long-term return on equity, which is adjusted for random fluctuations and estimated based on historical volatility of the share. Until the debt is settled, the attributable fair value is determined afresh on every closing date and settlement date. The liability incurred is recognised over the vesting period as a provision in the amount of the attributable fair value All changes are recognised in the income statement in the relevant business year.

CA Immo Sienna Center sp. Z o.o., Warsaw
CA Immo Warsaw Towers sp. Z o. o., Warsaw
For claims of third parties against sold project companies, CA Immo AG is liable on the basis of subsequent liabilities in the amount of 40% of any claim determined by a court (by way of a legally binding judgement).
Out of reported other receivables, an amount of €800K is pledged in favour of the financing banks of the subsidiary.
In connection with the disposals, marketable guarantees for coverage of possible warranty and liability claims exist and where necessary - financial provisions were made.
Liability on the basis of letters of comfort issued by CA Immo AG for Group companies that sold properties in previous years generally ends with the liquidation of the Group companies. In some cases, an assumption of obligation by CA Immo AG may have been agreed as part of purchase agreements, which is then responsible directly from the respective purchase agreement.
In 2020, CA Immobilien Anlagen AG filed a first (partial) action for damages of €1M and later a second action for damages of approx. €1.9 bn both against the Republic of Austria and the federal state of Carinthia. These two actions were based on the criminal indictment against the former Austrian minister of finance Mr. Grasser and others for crimes in relation to the privatization of the of state-owned residential property companies (like BUWOG) in 2004 at the expense of CA Immo AG. In December 2020, the criminal court of first instance convicted Mr. Grasser and others, whereas their nullity complaints and the appeals are still pending. In November 2023, the civil court of first instance dismissed CA Immo AG´s first action for damages of €1M due to limitation of claims. CA Immo AG successfully appealed and in June 2024 the appellate court determined – not yet legally binding - that CA Immo AG´s claims are not time-barred. The Supreme Court will decide on the revision of the defendants. The second action is interrupted until a final judgment in the first proceedings. In December 2023, the Supreme Administrative Court decided that the second civil action for damages is not exempt from court fees (paid already in 2021). The complaint submitted to the European Court of Human Rights in this regard was rejected by the Court in February 2025.
As at 31.12.2024, CA Immo AG is the defendant in a total of four actions for avoidance. Three actions for avoidance relate to Annual General Meetings in previous financial years (the Annual General Meetings in 2021 and 2022 and the Extraordinary General Meeting in 2021). On 6.6.2024, CA Immo AG was served with an action for avoidance relating to the 37th Annual General Meeting on 2.5.2024. The actions for avoidance are mainly directed against resolutions in connection with the discharge of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, elections to the Supervisory Board and the payment of additional dividends. The proceedings are partly in appeal proceedings and partly (again) in proceedings at first instance, whereby to date only procedural aspects (on the legal question of the plaintiff's capacity to be a party) have been at issue for the most part.
The lease-related liability from the utilisation of tangible assets not reported in the balance sheet is €782K (31.12.2023: €697K) for the subsequent business year and €1,695K (31.12.2023: €2,016K) for the subsequent five business years. The rental agreement for the office Rennweg/Mechelgasse 1 is concluded until 31.12.2026.

The strategic business model is geared towards sustainable value creation, taking account of ecological, economic, social and legal dimensions. The company covers the entire value chain in the commercial real estate sector - from land preparation, land development and realization of the surrounding infrastructure to the construction and operation of new buildings.
In addition to the most important core markets of Berlin and Munich, CA Immo is also active in the cities of Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Vienna, Prague and Warsaw. The markets of Budapest and Belgrade were classified as non-strategic markets as part of the strategic capital rotation program; the Management Board is authorised to initiate or carry out all relevant activities in connection with the market exit from these regions.
Additional contributions to earnings are generated through the preparation and realization of land reserves via the development business division. CA Immo either includes completed projects into its own portfolio or sells them to an end investor. The Group currently controls property assets of around€5.0 bn in Germany, Austria and Central and Eastern Europe (31.12.2023: €5.2bn).
The real estate is held in direct or indirect subsidiaries of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG. As at December 31, 2024, property assets of around €177m (31.12.2023: €241m) are also held directly by the parent company. As at the reporting date, the overall Austrian portfolio exclusively comprises investment properties and one property held for sale with a total book value of around €256m (31.12.2023: €347m).

The operating platform for all of the Group's activities in Germany is CA Immo Deutschland GmbH, which has branches in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich. In addition to existing properties, the company's property assets consist primarily of properties under construction or undeveloped plots and a portfolio of other real estate intended for trading or sale. The investment properties are largely held in direct investments and managed by DRG Deutsche Realitäten GmbH - a joint venture with the Austrian brokerage and property management company ÖRAG. Individual investment properties under development (for example in Munich and Mainz) are realized in joint ventures. Real estate development is managed by the Development department, which is part of CA Immo Deutschland GmbH and its direct subsidiaries and draws on in-house expertise.
In CEE, the strategic focus is also on prime office properties in the cities of Prague and Warsaw. The existing CEE property portfolio is held by direct or indirect CA Immo subsidiaries. All CEE properties are managed by the regional branches.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts global gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 3.3% for 2025 and 2026, which is below the historical average of 3.7% between 2000 and 2019. This development indicates a continued slowdown in the global economy. Regionally, growth expectations for the United States have been revised upward due to strong consumer demand, a favorable labor market, and fiscal stimulus. In contrast, growth in the Eurozone remains subdued as high inflation and tight monetary policy weigh on consumption. In China, economic growth continues but at a slower pace than in the past due to challenges in the real estate sector, high debt levels, and structural adjustments. Emerging and developing countries are struggling with external financing difficulties, weakening export demand, and structural challenges that are dampening growth.
Inflation has eased worldwide but remains above pre-crisis levels. The IMF expects global inflation to decline to 4.2% in 2025 and 3.5% in 2026. In advanced economies, inflation is approaching central banks' 2% target more quickly, while in emerging and developing economies, it is declining more slowly, partly due to commodity price volatility. Central banks in major economies, such as the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB), are cautiously easing monetary policy, with the pace and extent of rate cuts depending on further inflation data and economic indicators. In emerging markets, there is a mixed picture: while some countries have already implemented rate cuts, others are maintaining restrictive measures due to inflation-related uncertainties.
The IMF sees various risks that could weigh on the global economy. In the short term, geopolitical tensions pose a threat to trade flows and energy prices, while high interest rates put pressure on heavily indebted companies, and political uncertainties due to upcoming elections in major economies could lead to shifts in economic policy. In the medium term, slow productivity growth could dampen GDP expansion, climate change could threaten economic stability, and rising debt burdens in both developing and advanced economies will require sustainable fiscal strategies.
The IMF's Regional Economic Outlook from October 2024 analyses Europe's economic recovery following recent crises and shows that it has not yet reached its full potential. While growth is slowly recovering, uncertainties such as persistent core inflation, unclear economic policy directions, and geopolitical tensions are slowing progress.
Although inflation is declining, it remains persistently high, especially in the services sector. Central banks have already
begun cutting interest rates but must remain flexible in responding to economic developments to ensure stable monetary policy. At the same time, fiscal and financial policy faces significant challenges. High public debt following years of crisis requires careful consolidation to secure financial stability. New European fiscal rules aim to help reduce debt and ensure the sustainability of public finances. While banks are generally well-capitalized, risks remain, particularly in the commercial real estate sector.
Beyond these short-term challenges, Europe faces deeply rooted structural problems. Productivity growth is weak, particularly in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (CE-SEE), where investment and structural reforms are lagging. Demographic changes and a growing shortage of skilled labor further complicate economic development. Greater integration of the European single market is seen as a key factor in boosting innovation and investment.
Additionally, the economic recovery remains subject to considerable risks. An escalation of geopolitical conflicts, particularly in Ukraine and the Middle East, could drive energy prices higher and increase economic uncertainty. Delays in urgently needed tax and structural reforms and the newly initiated US tariff regime could further dampen growth.
Compared to the previous quarter, seasonally adjusted GDP in the Eurozone remained unchanged in Q4 2024, while it increased by 0.1% in the EU. This is based on a preliminary flash estimate published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. In Q3 2024, GDP had grown by 0.4% in both regions. According to a preliminary estimate of the annual growth rate for 2024, based on seasonally and calendar-adjusted quarterly data, GDP increased by 0.7% in the Eurozone and 0.8% in the EU. Compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, seasonally adjusted GDP in Q4 2024 grew by 0.9% in the Eurozone and 1.1% in the EU, following +0.9% in the Eurozone and +1.0% in the EU in the previous quarter.
In December 2024, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the Eurozone stood at 6.3%, up from 6.2% in November 2024 but down from 6.5% in December 2023. The unemployment rate in the EU was 5.9% in December 2024, up from 5.8% in November 2024 and down from 6.0% in December 2023.
Annual inflation in the Eurozone for January 2025 is estimated at 2.5%, up from 2.4% in December 2024. Among the main components of inflation in the Eurozone, "services" are expected to have the highest annual rate in January (3.9%, compared to 4.0% in December), followed by "food, alcohol, and tobacco" (2.3%, compared to 2.6% in December), "energy" (1.8%, compared to 0.1% in December), and "non-energy industrial goods" (0.5%, unchanged from December).
At the end of Q3 2024, the general government gross debt-to-GDP ratio in the Eurozone (ER20) stood at 88.2%, remaining unchanged from the end of Q2 2024. In the EU, the ratio also remained stable at 81.6%. Compared to Q3 2023, the public debt-to-GDP ratio in the Eurozone slightly decreased (from 88.4% to 88.2%), while in the EU, there was a slight increase (from 81.5% to 81.6%).
The seasonally adjusted general government deficit (fiscal balance) as a percentage of GDP stood at 2.6% in the Eurozone (ER20) and 2.9% in the EU in Q3 2024. Compared to Q2 2024, the deficit (as a percentage of GDP) decreased in both the Eurozone and the EU. In Q3 2024, total government revenue in the Eurozone amounted to 47.0% of GDP, up from 46.5% in Q2 2024, primarily due to an increase in absolute government revenues and growth in nominal GDP. In the EU, total government revenue in Q3 2024 was 46.4% of GDP, compared to 46.0% in the previous quarter.
In March 2025, the ECB Governing Council decided to cut the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points each. As of March 12, 2025, the deposit facility rate, the main refinancing rate, and the marginal lending facility rate will be 2.50%, 2.65%, and 2.90%, respectively. The decision to lower the deposit facility rate - through which the ECB steers its monetary policy - reflects the Governing Council's updated assessment of inflation prospects, underlying inflation dynamics, and the strength of monetary policy transmission.
Recent inflation data suggest that the disinflation process is progressing well. Inflation has largely evolved in line with expectations of ECB experts. The latest projections closely align with previous inflation outlooks. Most indicators of underlying inflation suggest that inflation will sustainably stabilize around the target level. Due to the previous interest rate cuts by the ECB Governing Council, borrowing costs for businesses and private households are gradually becoming more affordable. At the same time, financing conditions remain restrictive, partly because monetary policy remains tight and previous interest rate hikes continue to affect the stock of outstanding loans. As a result, some maturing loans are being refinanced at higher interest rates. The economy continues to face headwinds, but rising real incomes and the gradually diminishing effects of restrictive monetary policy are expected to support a recovery in demand over time.
The Governing Council is determined to ensure that inflation stabilises sustainably at its 2% medium-term target. Especially in current conditions of rising uncertainty, it will follow a data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting approach to determining the appropriate monetary policy stance. In particular, the Governing Council's interest rate decisions will be based on its assessment of the inflation outlook in light of the incoming
economic and financial data, the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policy transmission. The Governing Council is not pre-committing to a particular rate path.
Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, commented at the press conference on the latest monetary policy decisions: "The risks to economic growth remain tilted to the downside. An escalation in trade tensions would lower euro area growth by dampening exports and weakening the global economy. Ongoing uncertainty about global trade policies could drag investment down. Geopolitical tensions, such as Russia's war against Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, remain a major source of uncertainty as well. Growth could be lower if the lagged effects of monetary policy tightening last longer than expected. At the same time, growth could be higher if easier financing conditions and falling inflation allow domestic consumption and investment to rebound faster. An increase in defence and infrastructure spending could also add to growth."
The economic environment in Germany, Austria, and the CEE region remains challenging, with stagnation in Germany and weak productivity weighing on growth. While European activity shows signs of improvement, sentiment remains subdued due to weak demand and fading employment expectations, particularly in the industrial sector.
Unemployment remains low at the cost of weak wages and overcapacity. Inflation continues to decline toward the ECB's 2% target, paving the way for multiple rate cuts in 2025. The real estate sector remains under pressure, though expectations of monetary easing may support investment sentiment going forward. Political uncertainty persists, with upcoming elections and geopolitical risks, including potential trade tensions with the U.S. While macroeconomic conditions may ease slightly, the outlook remains uncertain.
The transaction market for commercial real estate remained challenging in 2024. Elevated financing costs and diverging dynamics in different real estate segments concluded in low market activity compared to long term averages. Capital values in the German markets saw some recovery compared to 2023 fueled by rental growth and stabilizing yields. Austria and CEE were negatively impacted or remained flat due to slower rental growth.
Prime office yields remained flat towards the end of 2024 across most markets. Berlin and Munich are the first markets that saw a yield compression by 20 basis points at the end of the year. All other markets had either a flat yield development (Duesseldorf, Frankfurt and Vienna) or a slight increase of 15- 25 basis points (Warsaw, Prague and Budapest) compared to 2023.
Office investment volumes seem to have troughed and 2024 was showing a significant growth of transactions in comparison to the previous year. Total investment volumes improved in all markets except Vienna in 2024. This was also true for the office segment, with the exception of Budapest, Vienna and Berlin. The four most important German CA Immo markets recorded an increase to just over €3.2bn (+49% year-on-year). In total, office investment markets in CEE and Austria also rebounded in 2024. While the transaction volume of €2.6bn (+31% year-on-year) did not increase as much as in Germany, the 2023 results were also not as severely impacted as in the case of the German markets.
Demand for office space, measured in terms of net take-up (newly leased space excl. lease renewals) amounted to 2.90m sqm in 2024 across CA Immo's main markets; and therefore, remained virtually unchanged compared to 2023. Net absorption (change in occupied space) has severely declined to negative 476,000sqm in 2024 (decline from 101,000sqm in 2023) driven entirely by the German markets, illustrating how efficiency seeking became a driving force of the market.
The most significant decline in letting activity on an aggregated basis was observed in the consumer services & leisure, manufacturing and public sectors, while demand from financial services has significantly improved.
Prime rents in the main CA Immo markets continued to rise in 2024, albeit at a very uneven pace. Munich has been showing the most substantial growth, outperforming the other German markets with €57.00 per sqm (+21% year-on-year). Prime rents in Frankfurt reached €49.00 per sqm (+3% year-on-year), Berlin reached €44.50 per sqm (+1% year-on-year) and €45.00 per sqm in Duesseldorf (+13% year-on-year).
In the CEE region and in Austria, prime rents remained rather flat except for Prague. Prime rents for offices in Vienna reached €28.00 per sqm (0% year-on-year), while in Budapest and Warsaw they amounted to €25.00 per sqm and €27.00 per sqm respectively (both 0% year-on-year). The prime rent in Prague reached €29.50 per sqm (+7% year-on-year).
The trend of average rents rising more slowly than prime rents continued in 2024.
In 2024, 1.0m sqm of new office space has been delivered to the four most important German markets (–12% compared to the previous year). Only Duesseldorf and Frankfurt recorded an increase in the supply of new office space.
New office supply in CEE and Austria has grown slightly to 0.36m sqm in 2024 (+15% year-on-year), with only Prague adding less space than the year before.
Current forecasts predict only a moderate increase in completions for 2025 and beyond. This is particularly pronounced in the German markets, as macroeconomic challenges and tighter financing conditions weigh on the sector.
Lower completion volumes in Germany were not able to compensate the fall in net absorption and vacancy rates rose because of this development. Vacancy rates in Berlin and Munich rose to 7.3% and 8.5% respectively. Duesseldorf reached the highest vacancy among the German markets with 12.2%. On the other hand, increased demand in Frankfurt led to a slight decrease of the vacancy rate to 10.4% towards the end of the year, despite higher new deliveries compared to 2023.
While deliveries were comparatively higher in CEE and Austria, demand held up better than in Germany. This resulted in only modest vacancy increases in most markets. Vacancy rates in Prague (7.4%) and Warsaw (10.6%) remained flat while a steady delivery pipeline pushed vacancy in Budapest to 14.1%. Vienna was the only market, where vacancy was reduced in the last year and stood at around 3.4%.

The CA Immo Group divides its core activity into the business areas of letting investment properties and developing real estate. In both of these business areas, CA Immo specialises in commercial real estate with a clear focus on office properties in capital cities, in the centre of Europe with an emphasized focus on Berlin and Munich. The aim is to focus on high-quality and highly profitable prime office properties. CA Immo generates additional revenue in the development sector through the development, construction and utilization of land reserves.

The strategic focus of CA Immo's business activities is the long-term increase in the value of the company. This is accompanied by key financial indicators, which are important instruments for identifying the factors that contribute to a sustained increase in the value of the company and quantifying these factors for the purposes of value management.
The key financial performance indicator is total shareholder return (TSR). It indicates the gross return that an investor/shareholder earns when he buys a share and holds it for a certain period of time. It is therefore made up of the price gains/losses plus dividends paid out in the period between buying and selling a share.
Another important financial performance indicator is the net income generated on the company's average equity (return on equity or RoE). The aim is to generate a figure higher than the calculated cost of capital, thus generating shareholder value. Based on the negative consolidated result, RoE 2024 is in negative territory and therefore below the target value. The decrease compared to the previous years was mainly driven by the negative property revaluation result. Nevertheless, with the successful strategy implementation of recent years and strong positioning of the CA Immo Group, the ground was prepared for generating a return on equity over the long term, and one that exceeds the cost of equity (see the "Strategy" section).
Other quantitative factors used to measure and manage our shareholders' long-term return include NAV per share growth, operating cash flow per share, and Funds from Operations (FFO I and FFO II) per share (please refer to the table above and "Balance Sheet" and "Key Figures per Share" in the flap of the annual report).
As the financial indicators ultimately represent the success achieved in the operating real estate business, they are preceded by a number of other performance indicators, including non-financial indicators, that are essential for measuring and managing the operating business performance:
ensures high standards across the portfolio (additional information can be found in the Sustainability report).
The non-financial performance indicators relating to environmental, employee and social issues as well as human rights and the fight against corruption and bribery are presented and explained in detail in the "ESG report".
CA Immo is an investor, developer and manager of highquality office properties. The CA Immo Group's ESG commitment includes goals, corresponding strategies and measures to achieve these goals, comprehensive voluntary reporting and a commitment to comply with various established environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. The Group Management Board is responsible for the Group-wide, holistic implementation of sustainability in the corporate strategy and for ensuring compliance.
Based on the materiality analysis conducted by the CA Immo Group, the most relevant ESG risks and opportunities are those related to climate change adaption (physical risks) and the transition to a climate-neutral economy (transitional risks). These are listed below.
In the context of climate change adaptation, both acute and recurrent weather events can cause physical damage and adverse effects to buildings. This damage can result in increased operating costs, repair and maintenance work, and even temporary closure or loss of value for the building. This has particular implications for portfolio management.
In addition, climate and energy regulatory changes aimed at reducing emissions or enforcing higher efficiency standards may result in compliance costs, higher construction and financing costs, or reduced availability and marketability of debt, and may adversely affect the value of buildings (transition risks). At the same time, energy efficiency improvements and the expansion and use of renewable energy represent potential opportunities, as they reduce operating costs, increase property values and appeal to tenants who value sustainability and cost efficiency. These issues affect both the portfolio management and project developments. In addition, the concept of green finance enables lower financing costs and better availability of debt capital for buildings with a good energy and climate balance, which also has a positive impact on the portfolio management and project developments.
In order to assess the portfolio's exposure to physical climate risks, a comprehensive risk and vulnerability analysis was conducted in accordance with the EU's Adaptation to Climate Change taxonomy. The climate risk analysis was carried out on a location-specific basis, taking into account chronic and acute risks, as well as risks related to temperature and wind, and water and land. The focus of the assessment was on short-term, current risks as well as on the time horizon up to 2100. In the final step, appropriate adaptation solutions that already exist in the affected buildings or in their surroundings were analyzed in relation to these climate risks. The result of the analysis shows that there are currently no properties in the CA Immo Group portfolio that are exposed to significant physical risks, as appropriate adaptation solutions have already been implemented.
With respect to climate-related transition risks, the risk assessment is based on the following regulations and benchmarks, among others: On the one hand, the provisions of the new version of the EU Buildings Directive, which came into force in 2024 and must be transposed into national law by the member states by 2026. The directive sets out steps and guidelines for improving the energy efficiency of buildings, based in part on energy performance certificates. In addition, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which is expected to be extended to the building and transport sectors from 2027 (EU ETS-2) and will price Scope 1 emissions from fossil fuels (e.g. gas and oil heating), serves as a basis for risk assessment. Third, the decarbonization benchmark CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor), which provides national decarbonization paths for the building sector in line with the 1.5°C scenario for the years 2030 and 2050, is used to identify and assess buildings with an increased risk of stranded assets.
As an employer, CA Immo has been locally anchored in its markets for many years and employs almost exclusively local staff in its international branches. CA Immo
generally employs staff on full-time, permanent contracts. In addition to the requirements of labour law, a large number of employee-related regulations have been defined in cooperation with the Austrian and German works councils as part of company agreements. Detailed information on all social aspects in connection with the company's own workforce can be found in the Group Management Report (chapter "Sustainability Report").

The share capital of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG amounts to €774,229,017.02 on the balance sheet date, divided into four registered shares and 106,496,422 ordinary bearer shares with a pro rata amount of the capital stock of €7.27 each. The bearer shares are listed on the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange (ISIN: AT0000641352).
With a stake of around 62.47% as of December 31, 2024 (66,531,269 bearer shares and four registered shares), SOF-11Klimt CAI S.à r.l., Luxembourg, a company managed by Starwood Capital Group, is CA Immo's largest shareholder. Starwood Capital Group is a private investment company with a focus on global real estate investments. The holders of the four registered shares are each entitled to appoint one member to the Supervisory Board, with restrictions on the number of members appointed arising from Section 88 AktG (Austrian Stock Corporation Act). The remaining outstanding shares in CA Immo are in the free float of institutional and private investors who each hold a stake below the statutory reporting threshold of 4%. Since 1.1.2024, an asset management agreement has been in place with a company of the Starwood Capital Group in a German Group company of CA Immo where services are provided by CA Immo at market rate. The terms and conditions of the business relationship are documented and monitored on an ongoing basis. Further information on the structure of the shares and shareholder rights can be found in the corporate governance report, which is available online on the company's website at www.caimmo.com/en/cg-bekenntnis.
At the 36th Annual General Meeting on 4May 2023, the Management Board was authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the capital stock (also in several tranches and with the possible exclusion of subscription rights) by up to €154,845,809.22 (around 20% of the current capital stock) by issuing up to 21,299,286 no-par value bearer shares in return for cash or non-cash contributions.
At the same Annual General Meeting, the Management Board was authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to issue convertible bonds up to a total nominal amount of €653,621,839.12 until 3May 2028 at the latest, with which conversion and/or subscription rights to up to 21,299.286 bearer shares in the company with a pro rata amount of the capital stock of up to €154,845,809.22
(contingent capital 2023), also in several tranches, and to determine all other conditions, the issue and the conversion procedure for the convertible bonds. The convertible bonds can be issued against cash contributions and also against contributions in kind. Shareholders' subscription rights have been excluded (direct exclusion). Convertible bonds may only be issued in accordance with this authorization if the sum of the new shares for which conversion and/or subscription rights are granted with such convertible bonds does not exceed 20% of the company's capital stock at the time this authorization is granted.
As at 31 December 2024, there is unused authorized capital of €154,845,809.22, which can be utilized until 27 September 2028 at the latest, as well as conditional capital of €154,845,809.22 to service convertible bonds, which can be issued in the future on the basis of the authorization of the Annual General Meeting on 4May 2023 (conditional capital 2023).
At the 36th Annual General Meeting on 4May 2023, the Management Board was authorized in accordance with Section 65 para. 1 no. 8 and para. 1a and para. 1b AktG for a period of 30months from the date of the resolution, i.e. until 3 November 2025 at the latest, to acquire treasury shares in the company to the maximum extent permitted by law with the approval of the Supervisory Board. The consideration to be paid for the repurchase may not be lower than 30% below and not higher than 10% above the average, unweighted closing price on the stock exchange on the ten trading days preceding the repurchase. The Management Board must determine the other buyback conditions, whereby the acquisition may be carried out via the stock exchange, by means of a public offer or in another legally permissible and appropriate manner, i.e. also off-market and/or by individual shareholders and excluding the right to tender shares on a pro rata basis (reverse subscription right). The authorization may be exercised in whole or in part or in several partial amounts and in pursuit of one or more purposes by the company, its affiliated companies (Section 189a no. 8 UGB) or for their account by third parties. The repeated exercise of this authorization is also permitted. The Management Board was also authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to resell the acquired treasury shares in any legally permissible manner without a further resolution by the Annual General Meeting and to determine the conditions of sale or to withdraw the treasury shares.
Based on the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 4 May 2023, the Management Board of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG resolved on 11 November 2024 to carry out a buyback program for treasury shares in accordance with Section 65 para. 1 no. 8 AktG. The volume amounts to up to 1,869,606 shares (this corresponds to around 1.76% of the company's current capital stock). The share buyback program provides for the purchase of shares via the stock exchange. The conditions for these purchases are based on the authorization. In particular, the consideration to be paid for the repurchase must be within the range of the authorization resolution of the Annual General Meeting and may not be lower than a maximum of 30% below and not higher than a maximum of 10% above the average, unweighted closing price on the stock exchange on the ten trading days preceding the repurchase. Furthermore, the maximum equivalent value shall not be higher than the most recently published IFRS NAV per share. The buyback program began on 28 November 2024 and will end on 3 November 2025 at the latest. The buyback will be carried out for any purpose permitted by the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. A general key objective is to increase shareholder value.
A total of 561,646 treasury shares were acquired in 2024. As at 31.12.2024, CA Immo therefore held 9,341,683 treasury shares, corresponding to around 8.77% of the total number of voting shares issued.
The share buyback programme was completed on 27.02.2025. In total, 1.869.605 bearer shares (ISIN: AT0000641352) were purchased, corresponding to approximately 1.76% of the share capital. The highest price paid per share was €24.50, and the lowest was €21.50. The weighted average price paid per share was €23.13, and the total value of the acquired shares amounted to €43.252.102.76. At the end of the buyback programme, CA Immo held 10.649.642 of its own shares (as of December 31, 2024: 9,341,683 treasury shares), which corresponds to 10.00% of the total number of issued shares.
Details of the transactions carried out as part of the share buyback programs are published on the company's website (www.caimmo.com/share-buyback).
In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Management Board of CA Immo consists of one, two or three persons. The age limit for Management Board members is set in the Articles of Association at the age of 65. The duration of the last term of office as a Management Board member ends at the end of the Ordinary General Meeting following the 65th birthday. The Supervisory Board consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of twelve members. Supervisory Board members delegated by means of registered shares can be removed at any time by the persons entitled to delegate them and replaced by others. The provisions of the Articles of Association regarding the duration of the term of office and the election of replacements do not apply to them. The remaining Supervisory Board members are elected by the Annual General Meeting. The age limit for Supervisory Board members is set in the Articles of Association at the age of 70. Supervisory Board members leave the Supervisory Board at the end of the Annual General Meeting following their 70th birthday. The Annual General Meeting decides on the removal of members of the Supervisory Board with a majority of at least three quarters of the votes cast (Article 21 of the Articles of Association).
As a result of the Remuneration Policy for the Management Board and Supervisory Board, which was also newly adopted in 2023, the new Management Board contracts concluded in the financial year 2023 contain commitments for benefits following a change of control ("change of control" provisions) as part of the LTI program. The details are set out in section 2.3.2. of the Remuneration Policy, which can be accessed online (www.caimmo.com/en/remuenration).
Section 5 (4) of the Terms and Conditions of the Green Bond 2024-2030 issued in October 2024 stipulates that in the event of a change of control - as defined in the Terms and Conditions - bondholders have the right to demand that the issuer redeem all or part of its bonds at the redemption amount or, at the issuer's discretion, purchase them (or arrange for them to be purchased). The capital market prospectus dated October 28, 2024 is available in English at https://www.caimmo.com/en/investor-relations/bonds/corporate-bonds/green-bond-2024-2030/.
Compliance with the legal provisions applicable on the target markets of CA Immo is a matter of particular concern to us. The Management Board and Supervisory Board are committed to compliance with the Austrian Corporate Governance Code and thus to transparency and the principles of good corporate management. The Austrian Corporate Governance Code is available on the website of the Austrian Working Group for Corporate Governance at www.corporate-governance.at. The rules and recommendations of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code in the version applicable for the 2024 financial year (from January 2023) are implemented almost without restriction. There are deviations with regard to C-Rules No. 2 (right of appointment to the Supervisory Board) and No. 45 (board functions in competitior companies). The evaluation of the C-Rules of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance for the financial year 2024 carried out by Ernst & Young Wirtschafts-prüfungsgesellschaft m. b. H. found that the declaration of conformity issued by CA Immo accurately reflects the implementation of the recommendations of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance. The Corporate Governance Report is also available on the company's website (www.caimmo.com/en/cg).
Global economic growth is expected to remain below the historical average, with the U.S. showing stronger performance while the Eurozone faces sluggish growth. Inflation is gradually easing, but still above pre-crisis levels. Central banks are cautiously loosening monetary policies, but risks such as geopolitical tensions, high debt, and slow productivity growth continue to weigh on the global economy. In the Eurozone, growth remains weak, and unemployment has slightly increased. At the same time, growth could be higher if easier financing conditions and falling inflation allow domestic consumption and investment to rebound faster. An increase in defence and infrastructure spending could also add to growth.
The weakening of real estate investment markets and declining property values as a result of high inflation and the rapid rise of interest rates presents challenges to the industry as a whole. We continue to operate in an uncertain market environment, with transaction markets that continue to be characterised by relatively low liquidity, longer decision-making lead times, and shifting preferences across occupiers, investors, and lenders, all impacting the performance of our, and our competitors, businesses. At the same time, prime office properties in central locations have performed comparatively stably in recent months, with significantly lower increases in vacancy rates and sustained growth in prime rents, particularly in the German core markets of CA Immo. Furthermore, the continuing sharp decline in new construction activity is likely to have a positive impact on future demand for prime office properties in good locations and offer opportunities for providers of premium office space in the coming years.
In view of these fundamental macroeconomic changes, we will continue to focus on securing and increasing our competitiveness and resilience. In doing so, we set the strategic priorities:
–Continuously improve capital structure and maintain IG financial policy.
Key factors that may influence the business development planned for 2025 include:
CA Immo intends to maintain its profit-oriented dividend policy. The amount of the dividend is based on the profitability, growth prospects and capital requirements of the CA Immo Group. At the same time, a continuous payout ratio of around 70% of recurring earnings (FFO I) is
intended to maintain the continuity of the dividend development.
For the 2024 financial year, the Management Board proposes a dividend of €1.00 per share entitled to dividends at the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 5, 2025. The amount distributed in excess of the basic target of 70% of FFO I reflects the ongoing successful sales activities as part of the strategic capital rotation programme. Based on the closing price on December 31, 2024 (€23.32), the dividend yield is around 4.3%. The proposal for the appropriation of profits reflects the current assessment of the Management Board and Supervisory Board.
Technological and social change continues to transform the office environment and the knowledge-based economy. To (re-)develop office properties today in such a way that they can be efficiently and profitably managed in future, CA Immo monitors changes to working processes and corporate requirements in terms of premises; at the same time, it trials new technical solutions along with space and building concepts on selected development projects. The current focus is on new requirements with regard to hybrid and flexible working environments of the future, digitalisation and sustainable office space management.
CA Immo also actively participates in relevant platforms for the real estate sector (for details on our memberships, please see the ESG report).
Successful management of existing and emerging risks is crucial to the sustainable economic success of CA Immo and the achievement of strategic goals. In order to exploit existing market opportunities and harness the potential for success they offer, risks must also be borne to an appropriate extent. Risk management and the internal control system (ICS) therefore form an integral part of the Group's corporate governance, which is understood as a principle of responsible corporate management.
CA Immo's risk management system is based on the following elements:
The Management Board, with the involvement of the Supervisory Board, determines the strategic orientation of the CA Immo Group and the nature and extent of the risks that the Group is prepared to assume in order to achieve its strategic goals. The Management Board is supported by the Risk Management Department in assessing the risk landscape and developing potential strategies to increase long-term stakeholder value. In addition, an internal risk committee has been set up with representatives from all divisions and the Chief Financial Officer, which meets quarterly or, if necessary, in special meetings. The aim of this committee is to additionally establish a regular, cross-functional valuation of the Group's risk situation, including the initiation of any necessary measures. This is intended to ensure that the company's orientation is optimized against the background of available alternatives.
At CA Immo, the opportunity/risk situation is assessed on a quarterly basis by the risk committee and every six months as part of reports prepared on the basis of the risk committee's findings, among other things. Risk evaluation takes place both at individual property and project level and at (sub)portfolio level. Early warning indicators such as rental forecasts, vacancy analyses, continuous monitoring of lease terms and termination options as well as continuous monitoring of construction costs for project realizations are included. Scenarios relating to the value development of the real estate portfolio, exit strategies and liquidity planning supplement risk reporting and increase planning certainty. CA Immo takes account of the precautionary principle in that multi-year planning and investment decisions cover the entire time horizon of capital expenditure.
In addition, CA Immo now carries out an annual inventory and evaluation of individual risks according to content, impact and probability of occurrence. An annual update is also carried out with regard to the estimated impact on the result, assets and liquidity of CA Immo ('extent of damage') and the probability of occurrence within a year. Measures and controls already implemented are taken into account in order to determine the net risk. This data serves the Management Board as a basis for determining the level and type of risk it deems acceptable in the pursuit of strategic goals. Once the Executive Board has approved the strategy, it is incorporated into the Group's three-year plan and helps to communicate the Group's risk appetite and expectations both internally and externally.
CA Immo's risk policy is specified by a series of guidelines. Compliance with these guidelines is continuously monitored and documented by means of control and management processes. Risk management is implemented on a binding basis at all levels of the company. The Management Board is involved in all risk-related decisions, takes risk-related aspects into account in its decisions and bears overall responsibility. Decisions are made at all levels in accordance with the principle of dual control. As an independent department, Internal Audit audits the operational and business processes; external experts are consulted if necessary. It is not bound by instructions when reporting and evaluating the audit results.
Evaluation of the functionality of risk management
The effectiveness of risk management is assessed annually by the Group auditor in accordance with the requirements of C-Rule 83 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance. The results are reported to the Management Board and the Audit Committee.
In FY 2024, a risk aggregation model was created for the first time to calculate key figures for the overall scope of risk - value at risk (VaR) - and derived parameters such as risk-bearing capacity.
Risk aggregation (using Monte Carlo simulation) is the method used to determine the overall scope of risk resulting from the quantified individual risks, taking into account possible combination effects and stochastic dependencies.
The VaR is a strategic risk indicator that quantifies the extent of possible financial losses (risk exposure), e.g. within a company's risk portfolio over a certain period of time at a certain confidence level (e.g. 0.95, i.e. 95%).
The risk-bearing capacity results from the relationship between the risk coverage potential (e.g. equity and/or liquidity) and the VaR and relates to a possible development that could jeopardize the company's existence.
The result of the risk-bearing capacity analysis shows sufficient risk-bearing capacity as at the reporting date. Further optimization of the risk aggregation model is planned for FY 2025.
CA Immo's internal control system encompasses all principles, procedures and measures designed to ensure the effectiveness, efficiency and propriety of accounting and compliance with the relevant legal provisions and corporate guidelines. Taking management processes into account, the ICS is integrated into the individual business processes. The aim is to prevent or detect errors in accounting and financial reporting and thus ensure that they are corrected at an early stage. Transparent documentation enables the processes for accounting, financial reporting and auditing activities to be presented. All operational areas are integrated into the accounting process. Responsibility for implementing and monitoring the ICS
lies with the relevant local management. The managing directors of the subsidiaries are required to evaluate and document compliance with the controls through self-audits. The effectiveness of the ICS is reviewed on a random basis by Group Internal Audit and the efficiency of the business processes is continuously evaluated. The results of the audit are reported to the respective management, the CA Immo Management Board as a whole and the audit committee at least once a year.
The economic success of CA Immo depends in part on the development of the real estate markets relevant to the Group. Key factors influencing economic development include the global economic situation as a whole, rental price trends, the rate of inflation, the level of national debt and interest rates. In the office real estate segment, factors such as economic growth, industrial activity, the unemployment rate, consumer confidence and other elements relevant to economic development also play a key role. All of these factors are outside the company's sphere of influence. They could have a negative impact on the entire European economy and thus also on economically strong nations such as Germany and Austria or have a negative impact on the financial and real estate sector as a whole. Any negative change in the economic situation could result in a decline in demand for properties, which in turn could affect the occupancy rate, property values or the liquidity of properties. Economic instability and limited access to debt and equity financing can lead to possible defaults by business partners and a general slowdown in market activity. If the real estate investment market lacks liquidity, there is a risk that it may not be possible to sell individual properties or only at unattractive conditions.
In addition to the development of general economic conditions and, in particular, rental prices, the value of properties is also dependent on initial yields in the real estate industry. The commercial real estate markets continue to be affected by a global economic downturn, which was originally triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic and has been prolonged, expanded and intensified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the trade dispute between China and the United States and, most recently, the conflict in the Middle East.
The overall economic development forecast for the current financial year in key CA Immo markets is stagnant to slightly recessive. Due to high energy prices by global standards, the effects of the war in Ukraine and the associated trade restrictions, EU regulatory pressure and an expansion of the US-initiated customs regime, many companies are facing increasing challenges in terms of international competitiveness.
The entire Group could be significantly impacted by these macroeconomic developments. Any such negative change in these or similar factors relating to the economic situation may lead to a decline in demand for both the Group's properties for sale and those let, thereby adversely affecting the Group's letting levels or the liquidity of the Group's properties. Due to the current uncertain macroeconomic situation in Europe, it is possible that the real estate market in the countries in which the Group operates will continue to develop unfavorably for the Group. This could result in rental income falling or being lower than expected or the occupancy rate of the Group's properties being lower than expected. Depending on further market and interest rate developments, rising capital costs may also necessitate additional value adjustments at CA Immo level.
In view of the risks outlined above, CA Immo regularly reviews its own property valuations. Following an almost complete external valuation of the Group's portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2024, the values for the property assets as at the reporting date of December 31, 2024 were adjusted on the basis of binding purchase agreements and external valuations. Taking into account the current exceptional market conditions and the current low level of transactions, a high degree of caution must be applied to property valuations. Further information on the changes in fair values can be found in the "Property valuation" section.
CA Immo counters market risk through broad diversification across various countries. CA Immo counters country risk by concentrating on strategic core markets with local branches and its own employees on the ground, and by adjusting regional allocation within the core markets. The focus here is on cities that exhibit long-term structural trends such as increasing urbanization, positive demographic change and structural supply shortages, as well as high investment liquidity. Market knowledge, ongoing evaluation of the strategy, continuous monitoring of the portfolio and targeted portfolio management as part of
strategic decisions (e.g. definition of exit strategies, medium-term planning for sales) enable a timely response to economic and political events.
CA Immo prevents any transfer risk through the targeted repatriation of liquid funds from investment markets with weaker credit ratings. Active portfolio management is designed to prevent concentration risks and maintain a balanced portfolio structure. CA Immo currently operates in Germany, Austria and selected CEE markets. With a share of around 68% of the total portfolio, Germany is currently CA Immo's largest single market. CA Immo is part of the EPRA Developed Europe Index, which supports capital market positioning and the overall rating. The aim is to achieve an aggregate EBITDA contribution of more than 50% from Germany, Austria and Poland. In terms of asset classes, CA Immo concentrates on modern, high-quality office properties with a focus on prime inner-city locations. The development business area primarily develops high-quality office properties for its own portfolio. It also develops land and, to a lesser extent, construction projects with other types of use such as residential, which are generally sold following successful development or completion.
Individual investments should not permanently exceed 5% of total property assets. Exceptions are possible subject to approval. At the balance sheet date, only the existing building ONE in Frankfurt falls into this category. The concentration risk in relation to individual tenants is manageable: as at December 31, 2024, 29% of rental income was generated by ten top tenants. With a share of around 6% of total rental income, KPMG followed by PricewaterhouseCoopers with 3,7% were the largest single tenants in the portfolio. In general, no more than 5% of total annual rental income should be attributable to single tenants over a longer period of time, although tenants with excellent credit ratings (AAA/AA) may be an exception. The following applies to single-tenant buildings: such scenarios should be avoided unless the tenant's credit rating is classified as excellent (AAA/AA). Singletenant scenarios are defined as cases in which more than 75% of the annual rental income (individual property level) is attributable to a single tenant. In principle, rental income from single-tenant properties may not exceed 20% of total annual rental income. In addition, the average lease term for single-tenant properties should be more than ten years.
Other risk concentrations resulting from factors such as the portfolio of several properties with a fair value of more than €100m in the same city, the sector mix of tenants, the identity of contractual partners, suppliers or lenders, etc., which cannot be effectively measured or limited in quantitative terms, are subject to regular review.
Political and economic developments in countries in which CA Immo operates also have a significant impact on occupancy rates and rent defaults. If the Group is unable to extend expiring leases on favorable terms and to find suitable creditworthy tenants or retain them on a long-term basis, this impairs the earning power and fair value of the properties concerned. The creditworthiness of a tenant, especially during an economic downturn, can fall in the short or medium term, which can affect rental income. In critical situations, the Group may decide to reduce rents in order to maintain an acceptable occupancy rate.
All of CA Immo's core markets continued to experience a challenging operating environment due to the current economic conditions and the effects of the Russia/ Ukraine conflict, characterized in particular by a significant slowdown in transaction activity. If there is also a significant slowdown in letting activity, longer marketing and vacancy periods for units that have not been let can also be expected in the future. As demand for office space is primarily dependent on macroeconomic developments, it remains to be seen how office space turnover will develop in the 2025 financial year. This is particularly relevant for Germany, where the majority of CA Immo's existing portfolio is located and for which the majority of economists forecast extremely weak GDP growth in 2025. Although the trend towards flexible or hybrid working ("work-from-home") has now become established, it remains unclear how this trend will affect demand for office properties in the medium term. It cannot be ruled out that the trends towards flexible office space rentals and co-working could have an even greater impact on the office market in the future.
CA Immo counters the risk of rent defaults by analyzing the property portfolio, tenant structure and cash flow, among other things, and carries out various analysis scenarios to assess the risks. A case-by-case assessment is always required here. Thanks to targeted monitoring and proactive measures (e.g. requiring security deposits, checking tenants for creditworthiness and reputation), the Group's rent default risk has remained at a low level despite the recent negative impact of the pandemic on individual tenants. All outstanding receivables are valued on a quarterly basis and adjusted according to their risk content. A default risk was adequately taken into account in the recognition of the property value. By far the majority of the Group's rental agreements contain value protection clauses, mostly with reference to the country-specific consumer price index. As a result, the amount of income from such rental agreements and from new rentals is heavily dependent on inflation.
In the letting market, competition for well-known tenants has become even more intense in the 2024 financial year; rents are under pressure in many markets. CA Immo may be forced to accept lower rents in order to remain attractive to tenants. In addition, misjudgements about the attractiveness of a location or its potential use could make letting more difficult or severely impair the desired rental conditions.
To a lesser extent, the Group's portfolio also includes other asset classes such as shopping centers and hotels, the operation of which is associated with its own risks. Poor management of the building or its tenants, falling visitor numbers and the increasingly competitive situation can lead to falling rents or the loss of important tenants and thus to rent losses and problems with new lettings. Although CA Immo does not operate any hotels itself, its earnings position is influenced by the quality of external hotel management and developments on the hotel markets.
Real estate development projects typically only incur costs in the initial phase. Income is only generated in later project phases. Development projects can often involve cost overruns and delays in completion, frequently caused by factors outside the control of CA Immo. This can impair the commercial success of individual projects and lead to contractual penalties or claims for damages. If no suitable tenants can be found, this can lead to vacancies after completion.
Construction costs have stabilized at a high level until 2024 (+ approx. 40% in 5 years). Due to the general cost situation (energy, labor, materials), the forecast increase for 2025 and 2026 in Germany is in line with expected inflation. Changes may occur due to geopolitical and/or economic events.
The Group's development projects are generally associated with numerous risks, some of which are exacerbated by the current inflationary environment. Developments may take longer than expected due to delays caused by various factors. These include a shortage of labor and suitable contractors and other general problems related to construction work, supply chain constraints or saturation of the construction industry, particularly in Germany, one of the Group's core markets, and even weather or environmental conditions. This could affect the (timely) availability of construction services.
Any such delay in the commencement or completion of construction work may result in local and regional authorities refusing to renew the Group's temporary or expired land use agreements or building permits for the Group's properties, and such authorities or third parties may assert repurchase rights or cancel existing land use agreements or building permits on the grounds that construction work was not completed by a specified date or that other material terms or provisions of land use agreements, building permits or purchase agreements have been breached.
CA Immo has taken a number of measures to manage these risks as far as possible (cost controls, variance analyses, multi-year liquidity planning, etc.). With few exceptions, projects are only launched once a corresponding pre-letting rate has been achieved that can cover future debt service through rental income. An exception is only made in special constellations of the project and/or market situation (e.g. extreme regional shortage of rentable areas with foreseeable rising rents and low letting risk during the project phase). Such exceptions require explicit examination when obtaining project approval.
For CA Immo risks arise with regard to (timely) availability of construction work, construction prices and quality. This has recently been noticeable not only in Germany – the core market for investment properties under development - but in all of CA Immo's core regions. Despite pricing in project reserves, it cannot be ruled out that a further rise in construction costs could pose risks to budget compliance and overall project success. Despite defensive project costing, there is also a risk that current real estate yields will change and reduce the targeted project profit (developer profit). CA Immo is therefore also increasingly relying on appropriate market and cost analyses in the development sector. Particularly in the current market conditions, which have been tested by higher interest rates, and a general increase in market uncertainty and volatility, the addition of a higher uncertainty factor is unavoidable for investment properties under development with rising construction costs, supply and timing problems, fluctuating financing rates, uncertain marketing periods and a lack of current comparative values. Property values could therefore fluctuate much more than would be the case under normal circumstances.
CA Immo creates sustainable value through a comprehensive value chain ranging from letting and management to construction, planning and development of investment properties with strong competencies within the company. This reduces functional (performance) risks and maximizes opportunities along this value chain (developer profit). However, land reserves and projects to create building rights entail specific risks (e.g. approval risk) due to their high capital commitment without ongoing inflows, but at the same time offer considerable potential for value appreciation by obtaining or improving building rights. The risks are regularly reduced through the sale of non-strategic land reserves. On the remaining areas, land development is being driven forward using the company's own capacities. Overall, CA Immo strives for a balanced portfolio; on the basis of book values, this means around 85-90% high-yield investment properties and around 10- 15% developments under construction, including land reserves. By far the largest project currently under construction, upbeat (scheduled for completion in Q1 2026) in Berlin, is 100% pre-let and is continuously evaluated in terms of cost risk. In recent two years, a large number of projects have been successfully completed – in particular ONE in Frankfurt and, Hochhaus am Europaplatz – which means that this risk can be regarded as significantly reduced due to the much smaller development pipeline.
CA Immo also realizes investment properties under development in joint ventures and is partly dependent on partners and their ability to pay and perform (partner risk). The Group is also exposed to the credit risk of its counterparties. Depending on the respective agreement, CA Immo may also be jointly and severally liable with its co-investors for costs, taxes or other third-party claims and may have to bear their credit risk or their share of costs, taxes or other liabilities in the event of default by its co-investors.
Interest rates are highly dependent on external factors that are beyond CA Immo's control, such as fundamental monetary and fiscal policy, national and international economic and political developments, inflation factors, budget deficits, trade surpluses or deficits and regulatory requirements. The cost of servicing interest rates increases when the respective reference interest rate rises.
The inflation rate in the EU rose again slightly in Q4/24 to 2.4% (12/24), but the EU Commission expects it to continue to approach the ECB's 2% target in FY 2025 and 2026. The services sector and recently rising gas prices are having an impact here.
Against this backdrop, the ECB lowered its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 2.75% in January 2025. Further interest rate cuts are likely for FY 2025. However, the general increase in uncertainty in the environment, such as the rise in geopolitical tensions in connection with a (renewed) disruption of supply chains, an expansion of the US-initiated customs regime and possible further crises could push the timing and extent of further interest rate cuts below market expectations or fuel inflation and further restrict the ECB's room for maneuver.
Market-related fluctuations in interest rates affect both the level of the financing rate and the fair value of interest rate hedges entered into. CA Immo relies on the use of domestic and foreign banks and the issue of corporate bonds for financing and ensures that the interest rate hedging ratio is as high as possible. Derivative financial instruments (interest rate caps, interest rate swaps and interest rate floors) are increasingly being used to hedge against the threat of interest rate changes and the associated fluctuations in financing costs. However, such hedging transactions could turn out to be inefficient or unsuitable for achieving targets or lead to losses affecting the income statement. Furthermore, the valuation of derivatives could have a negative impact on earnings or shareholders'equity. The extent to which the Group makes use of derivative instruments depends on the assumptions and market expectations with regard to future interest rate levels, in particular the 3-month Euribor. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, this can lead to a considerable increase in interest expenses.
Permanent monitoring of the risk of interest rate changes is therefore essential. CA Immo's financing strategy is based on a balanced mix of secured bank financing and unsecured capital market financing. At present, around 98% of the total financing volume is accounted for by fixed-interest financing (including in the form of corporate bonds) or financing secured by derivatives.
(Re)financing on the financial and capital markets is one of the most important measures for real estate companies. CA Immo requires debt in particular to refinance existing financial liabilities and to finance investment properties under development and acquisitions. As a result, it is dependent on the willingness of banks and the capital market to provide additional capital or to extend existing financing on reasonable terms. The market conditions for real estate financing are constantly changing. The attractiveness of financing options depends on a number of factors, not all of which can be influenced by the Group (market interest rates, collateral required, etc.). This can significantly affect the Group's ability to increase the percentage of completion of its development portfolio, to invest in suitable acquisition projects or to meet its obligations under financing agreements.
From today's perspective, the CA Immo Group has sufficient liquidity. Nevertheless, restrictions must be taken into account at the level of individual subsidiaries, as access to cash and cash equivalents is restricted due to commitments on current projects or there is a need for liquidity in some cases to stabilize loans. There is also the risk that planned sales activities cannot be realized or can only be realized with a delay or below price expectations. Other risks include unforeseen additional funding obligations for project financing and breaches of covenants in the area of property financing or corporate bonds issued by CA Immo. If these covenants are breached or in the event of default, the respective contractual partners would be entitled to call in financing and demand immediate repayment. This could force the Group to sell properties or take out refinancing on unfavorable terms.
CA Immo has fluctuating holdings of liquid funds, which it invests in line with operational and strategic requirements and objectives. In order to maintain the longterm issuer investment grade rating from Moody's (currently Baa3 with a stable outlook), the company must also have an adequate equity base, solid interest cover and a sufficiently large pool of unencumbered properties.
CA Immo counters any risk with the continuous monitoring of covenant agreements and extensive liquidity planning and hedging. The financial impact of strategic objectives is also taken into account. To manage liquidity peaks, the Group also has a revolving credit facility (RCF) with a volume of €300m at the level of the parent company. This ensures that unforeseen liquidity requirements can also be met throughout the Group. This RCF is currently undrawn. In line with the investment horizon for properties, loans are generally concluded on a long-term basis. The basic rule is that appropriate financing (e.g. loan, bond) must be guaranteed before binding contracts are concluded in connection with property purchases. In the past, capital partnerships (joint ventures) were also entered into at project level as an alternative and supplement to the previous sources of (equity) capital procurement.
Despite careful planning, a liquidity risk cannot be ruled out due to the inability to draw down funds, particularly from joint venture partners. In addition, CA Immo Germany has a high capital commitment, which is typical for investment properties under development. The financing of all projects already under construction is secured. Additional financing is required for new projects to be launched.
All companies are subject to income tax in the respective country with regard to both current income and capital gains. Significant discretionary decisions must be made in connection with the amount of tax provisions to be recognized. The extent to which deferred tax assets are to be recognized must also be determined.
Income from the sale of investments may be fully or partially exempt from income tax if certain conditions are met. Even if the intention is to meet the conditions, deferred tax liabilities are still recognized in full for the property assets in accordance with IAS 12.
Significant assumptions must also be made as to the extent to which deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards can be offset against taxable profits in the future and thus deferred tax assets can be recognized. Uncertainties exist regarding the amount and timing of future income and the interpretation of complex tax regulations. In the case of uncertainties regarding the income tax treatment of business transactions, an assessment is required as to whether the competent tax authority is
likely to accept the interpretation of the tax treatment of the transaction or not. On the basis of this assessment, the CA Immo Group recognizes the tax obligations in the event of uncertainty at the amount classified as most probable. However, uncertainties and complexities may result in future tax payments being significantly higher or lower than the obligations currently estimated as probable and recognized in the balance sheet.
The CA Immo Group holds a significant portion of its real estate portfolio in Germany, where numerous complex tax regulations must be observed. These include, in particular, (i) regulations on the transfer of hidden reserves to other assets, (ii) statutory provisions on real estate transfer tax and the possible incurrence of real estate transfer tax in the case of direct and indirect changes of shareholders in German partnerships and corporations, (iii) the tax recognition of outsourcing of operating facilities, (iv) the allocation of trade income to several permanent establishments or (v) the deduction of input tax on construction costs for development projects. The CA Immo Group takes every step to comply with all tax regulations. Nevertheless, there are circumstances - including those outside the sphere of influence of the CA Immo Group - such as changes in the shareholding structure, changes in legislation or changes in interpretation by the tax authorities and courts, which may result in the aforementioned tax issues having to be treated differently than before and may therefore have an impact on the recognition of taxes in the consolidated financial statements.
There are also uncertainties regarding the possible retroactive application of subsequent tax changes in connection with past restructuring in Central and Eastern Europe. However, CA Immo considers the probability of an actual burden to be low.
With regard to the tax deductibility of service charges within the Group, CA Immo always strives to charge an arm's length price for internal services and to document this adequately in order to meet all legal requirements (transfer pricing documentation). However, there is also the possibility that the tax authorities may take a different view and come to their own conclusions, which could lead to tax consequences with regard to the deductibility of internal service charges made in the past and thus trigger subsequent tax payments.
The actual and final asset losses from the liquidation of holding companies in Cyprus were claimed for tax purposes in Austria (spread over seven years). It cannot be completely ruled out that the tax authorities may take a different view with regard to the amount or recognition.
A reintroduction of national currencies or profound upheavals within the European Monetary Union could lead to increased currency volatility.
CA Immo operates on a number of markets outside the eurozone and is therefore exposed to various currency risks. To the extent that rental payments on these markets are made in currencies other than the euro and are not fully adjusted to current exchange rates, changes in exchange rates may result in a reduction in incoming payments. If expenses and capital expenditure are not made in euros, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the solvency of Group companies and have a negative impact on the Group's results and earnings.
CA Immo counters any risk by generally hedging foreign currency inflows by pegging tenants to the euro, so there is currently no significant direct risk.
There is an indirect currency risk due to the fact that rents are linked to the tenants' economic creditworthiness, which could lead to payment bottlenecks or even rent defaults. However, incoming payments are predominantly made in local currency, which is why the available free liquidity (incoming rent less operating costs) is converted into euros immediately after receipt. This process is continuously monitored by the responsible country manager. There is no currency risk on the liabilities side. Currency risks from construction projects are hedged as required and on a case-by-case basis. This is based on the contract and rental agreement currency, the expected exchange rate development and the calculation rate.
As a result of the higher interest rate environment, geopolitical uncertainties and the economic downturn in CA Immo's core markets and Germany in particular, the transaction activity on the real estate market was also extremely low in 2024. The risk of transactions being paused or even canceled due to problems with pricing, availability and financing costs remains high.
Sales may give rise to risks from contractual agreements and assurances that are based on a guarantee of certain
rental cash flows that could subsequently reduce the agreed or received purchase prices. Sufficient provisions have been made in the balance sheet for known income risks from sales and any liquidity risk has been taken into account in liquidity planning. Contractual obligations in the form of subsequent costs (e.g. residual construction work) are recognized in corresponding project cost estimates.
Weaknesses in the CA Immo Group's structural and procedural organization may lead to unexpected losses or result in additional expenditure. This risk may be based on inadequacies in IT and other information systems, human error and inadequate internal control procedures. Faulty program sequences and automated IT and information systems that do not take account of the business volume in terms of type and scope or are vulnerable to cybercrime (IT and cyber risks) pose a high operational risk.
According to estimates from reputable sources (Allianz, Bafin, BSI), the general cyber threat situation is very high, exacerbated by the wide range of possibilities offered by the use of AI to support and accelerate attacks. With regard to CA Immo, the measures implemented to date have a strong risk-reducing effect.
Human risk factors include a lack of understanding of the corporate strategy, a lack of internal risk controls (particularly business process controls), excessive decisionmaking authority at an individual level, which can lead to ill-considered actions, or too many decision-making bodies, which prevent a flexible response to market changes. Some property management and other administrative tasks are outsourced to external third parties. It is possible that know-how about the real estate under management and administrative processes is lost in the course of transferring administrative tasks, or that CA Immo is unable to identify and contractually bind suitable service providers within the required time frame.
The expertise of a company and its employees represents a significant competitive factor and is a unique selling point compared to the competition. The departure of employees in key functions therefore poses an acute risk of loss of expertise, which can usually only be compensated for with a high investment of company resources (money, time, recruitment of new staff) (HR risk).
CA Immo counters these risk factors with various measures: Process organization (system/process integration) is clearly anchored; continuous activities are undertaken to ensure the sustainability of operational processes. The Group structure is regularly scrutinized and checked to ensure that the prescribed structures take account of the size of the company. CA Immo prevents personnel know-how risks that may arise from the termination of central knowledge carriers through regular knowhow transfer (training) and documentation of know-how (manuals, etc.) as well as forward-looking personnel plan-
ning.
The Group companies are involved in legal disputes on both the plaintiff and defendant side in the course of their ordinary business activities. These are conducted in different jurisdictions. The applicable law in each case, the varying degrees of efficiency of the competent courts and the complexity of the matters in dispute may in some cases result in considerable length of proceedings or other delays. CA Immo assumes that it has made adequate provisions for legal disputes. There are currently no pending or imminent court or arbitration proceedings that entail existential risks.
In spring 2020, CA Immo filed two claims for damages against the Republic of Austria and the State of Carinthia for EUR 1million and provisionally €1.9 billion due to unlawful and culpably biased influencing of the best bidder procedure in the context of the privatization of the federal housing companies in 2004 ("BUWOG") and the unlawful non-award to CA Immo.
In the first civil proceedings concerning the claim of EUR 1m, an appeal is pending before the Supreme Court on the question of the statute of limitations for claims for damages, after the Court of Appeal confirmed the nonstatute of limitations in favor of CA Immo. A decision is expected in the first half of 2025. . The second civil proceeding concerning the claim of EUR 1.9 billion is provisionally suspended until a final judgment in the first proceeding.
The first-instance criminal judgments of the "BUWOG criminal proceedings" of January 2022 against the defendants former Federal Finance Minister Grasser et al., which are relevant for these two civil proceedings and are not legally binding, essentially confirmed from CA Immo's
point of view that illegal and biased actions to the detriment of CA Immo were taken in connection with the BUWOG privatization proceedings. In the criminal proceedings, the Supreme Court will probably decide on the appeals at the end of March 2025 and this decision may significantly change the opportunities and risks in the civil proceedings. However, a final assessment will only be possible once the final written decisions are available.
Changes in legal norms, case law or administrative practice and their impact on economic results and operations are unpredictable and may have a negative effect on the value of properties or the cost structure of the CA Immo Group in particular. CA Immo takes numerous proactive measures to counter such legal risks. These include the regular valuation of historical and existing legal risks, the ongoing monitoring of legislative changes and changes in case law, the implementation of lessons learned in our business processes and continuous information and training measures.
Current developments on the capital market (e.g. EU Green Deal) and new legal requirements are creating pressure for companies to report more strongly than before on ESG risks resulting from their business activities.
The consideration of sustainability aspects is anchored in the risk policy and the Risk Manual. Sustainability risks were identified and updated as part of the defined risk management process. Due to the particular relevance in connection with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the CSRD, further details are provided in the Sustainability Report.
The risk of corruption is taken into account, for example, by the Code of Conduct ("Zero Tolerance") and the associated anti-corruption guideline. Responsibility for measures to prevent and detect corruption and bribery and thus minimize the risk of corruption - is the central responsibility of the Corporate Office & Compliance department, which takes a Group-wide holistic approach in this regard. This includes the provision of a code of conduct (primarily via the two guidelines already mentioned) and the associated comprehensive mandatory training for each individual employee. Guidelines and any changes to them are communicated throughout the Group and can be accessed in their current form on the intranet. Mandatory training on the prevention and detection of corruption and bribery as well as dealing with conflicts of interest is
initially provided as part of onboarding and must then be completed annually by every employee. In addition, training focuses on particularly affected business areas (operational business units that are in direct contact with business partners, tenants or service providers).
Employees are required to report any suspicions internally. In addition, employees and external third parties have the option of reporting suspected misconduct anonymously via the electronic whistleblower system set up by CA Immo on the company website
(www.caimmo.com/hinweisgebersystem). The Supervisory Board is informed of measures taken to combat corruption at least once a year. Corruption-related matters are audited on the basis of the audit plan approved by the audit committee or on the basis of special audit mandates from the Management Board, audit committee or full Supervisory Board. All operating Group companies are regularly audited for corruption risks.
To reduce the risk of money laundering and prevent the financing of terrorism, relevant processes are firmly established within the company and are continuously monitored by the Corporate Office & Compliance department. Comprehensive Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are carried out on potential contractual partners for real estate transactions and prior to the conclusion of rental agreements, whereby the business partners are checked with regard to their beneficial owner, PeP status, domicile in high-risk countries and inclusion in sanctions lists.
In the area of governance, we pay particular attention to compliance with laws, our internal guidelines for contractual partners, for example with regard to corporate ethics, ensuring compliance and measures to combat corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism, thus helping to minimize compliance risks in this regard.
We require our contractors and suppliers (providers) to recognize the governance, social and environmental standards we have defined as early as the tendering process. CA Immo checks its business partners - including
construction companies in particular - as part of the tendering process not only in terms of their professional qualifications and economic situation, but also with regard to social aspects. As part of third-party compliance, bidders who do not at least promise to fulfill the following points in their bid are excluded from the award process:
The minimum wages and labor protection regulations applicable to the respective industry,
Exclusion of any form of activities not reported under the applicable laws (exclusion of undeclared work),
Compliance with human rights (as defined in the UN Charter and the European Convention on Human Rights) in its own sphere of activity and, to the best of its knowledge, in the production and development of the materials and equipment used. This also includes any form of forced and/or child labor (whereby the regulations defined in the "Minimum Age Convention -C138" and the "Forced Labor Convention -Co29" are to be applied as a minimum),
Exclusion of any form of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, marital status, regional or social origin, race, skin color, religion, age, membership of an ethnic minority, disability of any kind or for any other reason,
Compliance with applicable laws against unfair competition,
Compliance with applicable tax laws,
Implementation of effective measures and internal processes to prevent bribery and corruption within the framework of applicable laws.

The Management Board confirms to the best of their knowledge that the financial statements of CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft, which were prepared in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft and that the management report gives a true and fair view of the development and performance of the business and position of the company, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties the CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft faces.
Vienna, 26.3.2025
The Management Board
Keegan Viscius (CEO)
Andreas Schillhofer (CFO)
We have audited the financial statements of
These financial statements comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, the income statement for the fiscal year then ended and the notes.
Based on our audit the accompanying 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 Company as of December 31, 2024 and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
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 Financial Statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 financial statements of the fiscal year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The following is the key audit matter that we identified:
Risk The financial statements of CA Immobilien Anlagen Aktiengesellschaft as of December 31, 2024 show material investments in affiliated companies (TEUR 3.111.698) as well as material loans to affiliated companies (TEUR 38.576). Furthermore, the financial statements show impairments of investments in affiliated companies of TEUR 31.821 and reversal of impairments of TEUR 14.430.
All investments in and loans to affiliated companies are tested for impairment.
Due to the fact that most of the affiliated companies are real estate companies the impairment test is based on a simplified entity value which is mainly influenced by the property valuation reports by external, independent valuation experts. The material risk within the valuation reports exists when determining assumptions and estimates such as the discount/capitalization rate and rental income and for properties under development the construction and development costs to completion and the developer's profit. A minor change in these assumptions and estimates can have a material impact on the valuation of investments in and loans to affiliated companies.
The respective disclosures relating to investments in and loans to affiliated companies are shown in Section "2 Financial assets", in Section "11 a) – Financial assets" and in "appendix 2 – Information about group companies" in the financial statements as of December 31, 2024.
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:
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 financial statements, the management report and the auditor's report thereon.
We received the consolidated Corporate Governance Report until the date of this audit opinion; the rest of the annual report is estimated to be provided to us after the date of the auditor's report.
Our opinion on the 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 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 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 financial statements in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, for them to present a true and fair view of the assets, the financial position and the financial performance of the Company and for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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.
We also:
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 is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the financial statements and as to whether the management report was prepared in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the management report in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing for the audit of the manage-ment report.
In our opinion, the management report for the Company was prepared in accordance with the valid legal requirements, comprising accurate disclosures pursuant to 243a Austrian Company Code UGB, and is consistent with the financial statements.
Based on the findings during the audit of the financial statements and due to the thus obtained understanding concerning the Company and its circumstances no material misstatements in the management report came to our attention.
We were elected as auditor by the ordinary general meeting at May 2, 2024. We were appointed by the Supervisory Board on June 3, 2024. We are auditors since the financial year 2017.
We confirm that the audit opinion in the Section "Report on the 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.
