2 EARNINGS POSITION

The operations of alstria office REIT-AG (alstria) have developed according to plan in the year to date. Revenues increased to EUR 48,933 k in the reporting period (Q1 2023: EUR 45,499 k). The 7.5% increase is mainly due to rent increases as a result of indexation and the start of new leases. Losses in rental income due to terminated rental agreements were therefore more than offset.

Consolidated profit for the period amounted to EUR 28,319 k in the reporting period (Q1 2023: EUR - 7,306 k). The reason for the significant increase in earnings is an improved valuation result of EUR - 2,585 k (Q1 2023: EUR -28,885 k) and income from the repurchase of own bonds amounting to EUR 11,025 k. The bonds were purchased at a discount to their nominal value on the capital market.

The operating result (FFO after minorities) amounted to EUR 20,209 k in the reporting period. The decline compared to the previous year's figure (EUR 25,375 k) is primarily due to higher financing costs resulting from the take-up of additional financial liabilities and higher refinancing costs. The increase in rental income only partially compensated for this effect.

The reconciliation from consolidated net profit for the period to FFO is based on the elimination of non-cash income/cost figures that are not expected to recur annually, are not related to the period and do not serve the operating business. The adjustments between the income/cost figures in the income statement and FFO are shown in the table on the next page. The most significant adjustments (> EUR 1,000 k) in the reporting period related to the non-cash valuation result (EUR -2,585 k), EUR 1,634 k in property operating costs relating to other periods and EUR 11,025 k in one-off income in the net financial result, which resulted from the repurchase of own bonds in the capital market at a discount to their nominal value. The income tax income, which has also been adjusted, results from the release of tax provisions that were created for precautionary reasons when a subsidiary of alstria office REIT-AG changed its legal form in the 2016 financial year.

1) Numbers may not sum up due to rounding.

2) FFO is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles — in particular, IFRS — and should not be considered an alternative to the Company's income or cash flow measures as determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, there is no standard definition for FFO. Thus, alstria's FFO values and the measures with similar names presented by other companies may not be comparable.

3 FINANCIAL AND ASSET POSITION

Investment property

The fair value of investment property as of March 31, 2024 was EUR 3,999,834 k, slightly above the level as of December 31, 2023 (EUR 3,971,253 k).
