2 EARNINGS POSITION

alstria's revenues and earnings continued to develop according to plan in the year to date. Rental income increased by 3.7 % to EUR 142,076 k in the reporting period (9M 2022: EUR 137,069 k), which is mainly attributable to revenues from new and indexation of existing leases. Despite the scheduled termination of rental agreements in the reporting period and transaction-related changes in revenue, solid revenue growth was thus once again achieved.

The consolidated net result for the period under review amounted to EUR -24,644 k (9M 2022: EUR 75,366 k). The significant decline is primarily attributable to a negative net result from the valuation of investment property, which at EUR -91,768 k was significantly higher than the corresponding prior-year figure of EUR -5,379 k. The devaluation mainly reflects market-related price adjustments as a result of the increase in interest rates. In addition, the increase in the real estate transfer tax in Hamburg (from 4.5% to 5.5%) was already taken into account in the first quarter of 2023, which also had a negative impact on the value of the real estate portfolio (EUR 25,770 k).

In addition to the negative impact from the valuation of investment property, the result was burdened by an increase in the net financial result to EUR -38,034 k (9M 2022: EUR -24,795 k), which resulted primarily from the Group's higher level of debt and higher refinancing costs. The partial change in reporting, in particular of personnel and administrative expenses as well as property operating costs, which was made in the context of the adjustment to the Brookfield Group standards, is described in detail in the notes under Section "Changes in accounting policies". In total, the change in presentation of the above cost items had no effect on earnings.

In order to provide a clear picture of the Group's operating performance, alstria also publishes the operating result (FFO after minorities). This amounted to EUR 67,500 k in the reporting period. The decrease compared to the prior year's figure (EUR 86,258 k) is mainly due to increased financing costs resulting from additional borrowings and higher interest rates.

The reconciliation of consolidated net income to FFO is based on the elimination of non-cash income/cost items that are not expected to recur annually, are attributable to other periods and do not serve the operating business. The adjustments between income/cost measures in the income statement and FFO are shown in the table on the next page. The most significant adjustments in the reporting period related to the non-cash valuation result (EUR -91,768 k), other operating expenses of EUR 1,696 k resulting from the valuation of the minority interests in alstria office Prime Portfolio GmbH & Co. KG as well as non-cash depreciation and amortization (in accordance with IFRS 16) in the amount of EUR 1,061 k, which are therefore not attributable to the operating result.

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 per September 30, 2023 was EUR 4,625,280 k, slightly above the level at December 31, 2022 (EUR 4,606,848 k). The increase resulted from investments made in the portfolio in the first 9 months of 2023 (EUR 113,592 k). The sale of a property in Eschborn (EUR 2,890 k) and the market-related devaluation of the real estate portfolio by EUR 91,768 k had a partially compensating effect.

Further key figures of the financial and asset position

As of September 30, 2023, alstria's cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 300,589 k (December 31, 2022: EUR 364,973 k).

Consolidated equity decreased by EUR 34,126 k to EUR 2,537,274 k as of September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: EUR 2,571,400 k). The main influencing factors here were the consolidated net loss of EUR -24,644 k and the payment of the regular dividend of EUR 10,697 k. On October 13, 2023, the management board and the supervisory board of alstria office REIT-AG decided to convene an extraordinary general meeting in order to return approximately EUR 250 million to the shareholders by the end of the year in the form of a special dividend. An ad hoc announcement in this regard was published on October 13. The extraordinary shareholders' meeting will be held on December 1, 2023.

5 GUIDANCE

Operationally, the first nine months of the financial year 2023 developed as expected. Against this backdrop, alstria confirms the forecast for the expected revenues for the financial year 2023 in the amount of approximately EUR 190 m. As already announced in the ad hoc announcement of October 13, 2023, alstria revised the forecast for the operating profit (FFO) of the year 2023 from EUR 79 m to now EUR 84 m due to a more favorable cost development.

6 RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

alstria is exposed to various risks through its business activities. Please refer to the detailed descriptions in the Annual Report 2022. The economic environment was decisively impacted in the first nine months of the year by the Ukraine war and the subsequent intensification of energy and supply chain issues. The immediate consequences are high inflation rates and rapidly rising interest rates. This has had an impact on the risk assessment of financing costs, on which now is monitored even closer than before. Beyond this, there have been no significant changes to the risk situation described in the 2022 consolidated financial statements.

DISCLAIMER

The Consolidated Interim Statement contains statements relating to anticipated future developments. These statements are based on current assessments and are, by their very nature, exposed to risks and uncertainty. Actual developments may differ from those predicted in these statements.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

alstria office REIT-AG (hereinafter referred to as 'the Company' or 'alstria office REIT-AG', together with its subsidiaries, referred to as 'alstria' or 'the Group'), is a German stock corporation based in Hamburg.

Alexandrite Lake Lux Holdings S.à r.l., Luxembuorg, Grand-Dutchy of Luxembuorg, a holding company controlled by one of the private real estate funds of Brookfield Corporation, Toronto/Canada (formerly Brookfield Asset Management Inc. ("Brookfield"), had made a voluntary public takeover offer to the shareholders of the Company on December 13, 2021 to acquire all of the no-par value shares of alstria against payment of a cash consideration per alstria share. The total number of alstria shares to be considered for the minimum acceptance threshold was reached for the first time on January 11, 2022 ("Brookfield Takeover"). This corresponded to a share of 50.50% of the share capital. The company was thus to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Alexandrite's ultimate parent company, Brookfield Asset Management Inc., Toronto, Canada (hereinafter "Brookfield"), for the first time on January 11, 2022.

Brookfield prepares IFRS consolidated financial statements as of December 31 as the balance sheet date.

To implement the Brookfield Group guidelines, reconciliations were to be made for certain items in the income statement. With effect from January 1, 2023, alstria has therefore adjusted its accounting policies to harmonize the presentation with the parent group. The effects are explained below.

2 REAL ESTATE OPERATING EXPENSES

Certain costs incurred from the management of an investment property were previously treated as personnel expenses or administrative expenses. They are now reported under property operating costs.

3 NET RESULT FROM FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS ON INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Certain costs incurred as part of development projects in existing properties were previously shown directly in the expense type in which they were incurred. Effective January 1, 2023, they are to be capitalized as construction activities in accordance with Brookfield corporate policies. This relates to the proportion of real estate operating expenses, personnel expenses and administrative expenses that were paid for investments in development projects. They will be capitalized first. The capitalized costs can impact the net result from fair value adjustments on investment property as a result of the fair value measurement as of the reporting date.

The effects of these changes on the income statement are shown in the following tables.

The changes in accounting methods described do not have any impact on the balance sheet and thus the equity of the alstria Group as the consolidated result for the period remains unchanged.

The following overview shows the adjustments resulting from the change in accounting policy for Q1- Q3 2023:
