Chief Financial Officer
alstria had a good start into the year 2014. Having refinanced two thirds of our longterm debt on favorable terms in 2013, we continued our efforts in the first quarter of 2014 with the refinancing of two further loans in the amount of EUR 121 m, replacing our maturing debt in 2014 and 2015. The new credit agreements have an average term of 8.5 years and secure the attractive current financing conditions on a long-term basis. With our recent refinancings in place, the average debt maturity increases to approx. six years. We now have no substantial financing needs until mid-2018. In combination with an average lease term of 6.6 years, alstria has one of the most attractive and reliable cash flow profiles in the European real estate industry.
The operating business in the first quarter of 2014 developed as planned. The loss in rental income resulting from the disposal of non-strategic assets was nearly compensated by additional income from new lettings and acquisitions. Sales for the first three months of 2014 fell slightly by 1.4% to EUR 25.9 m. Our funds from operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 12.7 m and are fully in line with our guidance for the full year 2014. alstria's balance sheet ratios remained strong with a net LTV of 50.4% and a G-REIT equity ratio of 51.2%.
Our letting activities also continued to be positive. The dynamic leasing market in Germany enabled us to sign new leases for 13,400 sqm and renewals for 6,800 sqm. A special success in the first quarter of 2014 was the agreement of a long-term lease in our Bamler Service Park in Essen, where we were able to re-let 8,900 sqm of office space, directly replacing an upcoming lease expiry in 2015. The EPRA vacancy rate now stands at 7.0%. The slight increase in the first quarter is mainly impacted by the sale of fully let assets, as alstria continues to actively recycle capital.
In the first quarter 2013 we sold two assets for a total consideration of EUR 9.5 m, reflecting a premium of 3.3% to FY 2013 valuations. The two assets (one in Stuttgart, the other one in Hamburg) have been fully leased up and repositioned since their acquisition in 2007/2008.
On the basis of our financial result in the first quarter we are very confident to achieve our financial targets for 2014, a rental income of EUR 102 m and an operating profit of EUR 47 m.
Kind Regards
After a steep rise in stock prices, the market was flat in the first three months of 2014. This was due to ongoing uncertainty about future economic development in the first place, but also the Crimea crisis was a burden for the market. On balance, the German index DAX 30 was not able to record any profits in the first three months of 2014 and ended the quarter with 9,556 points.
However, alstria's share price had a good run in the first three months of 2014. With a closing price of EUR 9.73 on March 31, 2014, the stock price increased by 6.3% in the first quarter. Thus, the alstria share also developed significantly better than the main benchmark indices.

In the first quarter of 2014, alstria signed new leases* totalling approx. 13,400 sqm.
A key letting achievement was the initial lease to a new tenant in Essen, Bamlerstrasse. The tenant signed a seven-year contract for around 9,700 sqm of office and ancillary space. The new lease will start in the third quarter of 2015 and will replace an expiring contract.
The vacancy rate increased to 9.5% or 84,200 sqm as compared to the vacancy rate as at December 31, 2013 (9.1% or approx. 81,300 sqm). The increase in vacancy was driven by the disposal of fully let assets and the expiry of some leases. Of these 84,200 sqm, around 25,900 sqm represent strategic vacancy (intended vacancy implemented by alstria as part of its repositioning process for certain assets), while the remainder is operational vacancy.
One of the main characteristics of alstria's portfolio is its focus on a set number of major tenants. About 69% of total rental revenues are generated by alstria's top ten tenants. The 2014 portfolio also reflects the clear focus on the office asset class. 96%** of the total lettable area is office space.
* New leases correspond to leases of vacant space. The figure does not account for any lease renewal, prolongation or a tenant's exercise of his renewal option.
** Office and storage.
% of total lettable area
Revenues slightly decreased to EUR 25,934 k in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013 (EUR 26,291 k). The decrease is mainly due to disposals in 2013, which could only be compensated in part by respective acquisitions in 2013.
Real estate operating expenses amounted to EUR 2,436 k or 9.4% of revenues (Q1 2013: EUR 1,580 k or 6.0% of revenues). The increase of EUR 856 k mainly results from a scheduled fire protection measure, which was conducted in one of the Hamburg properties.
Administrative expenses remained steady at EUR 1,230 k (Q1 2013: EUR 1,216 k). The increase in personnel expenses (Q1 2014: EUR 2,059 k, Q1 2013: EUR 1,435 k) is mainly based on the revaluation of virtual shares as a result of the positive development of the alstria share. In the first quarter of 2014 total operating expenses amounted to 12.7% of total revenues (Q1 2013: 10.1%).

2) (A)FFO is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles, in particular IFRS, and should not be considered as an alternative to the Company's income or cash-flow measures as determined in accordance with IFRS.
Funds from operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 12,734 k in the reporting period as compared to EUR 13,919 k in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease is mainly due to higher real estate operating expenses of EUR 856 k (Q1 2014: EUR 2,436 k; Q1 2013: EUR 1,580 k) as well as higher SG&A of EUR 638 k (Q1 2014: EUR 3,289 k; Q1 2013: EUR 2,651 k).
Furthermore, no standard definition exists for (A)FFO. Thus, the (A)FFO or measures with similar names as presented by other companies may not necessarily be comparable to alstria's (A)FFO.
3) The AFFO is equal to the FFO with adjustments made for capital expenditures used to maintain the quality of the underlying investment portfolio.
* Based on an unchanged amount of shares of 78,933,487.
alstria uses hedge accounting on all qualifying hedges in order to limit the impact of the volatility of interest rate markets on profit and loss. This allows alstria to recognise the losses or gains on the qualifying part of the derivatives through the equity cash flow hedge reserve with no effect on income. For more details, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.

An increase of EUR 99 k due to changes in the fair value of derivatives, which are effective in a cash flow hedge, has been recognised in the hedging reserve in the first quarter of 2014 (Q1 2013: EUR 5,020 k).
The ineffective portion recognised in profit or loss that arises from cash flow hedges, amounted to a fair value loss of EUR 6,594 k (Q1 2013: gain of EUR 49 k). Further loses totalling EUR 1,883 k (Q1 2013: gain of EUR 20 k) due to the market valuation of derivatives not included in hedge accounting were recognised in the income statement.
A loss of EUR 1,481 k (Q1 2013: loss of EUR 261 k) relates to the cumulative losses from cash flow hedges for which the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur due to premature repayment of the loans.
Altogether, this results in a loss of EUR 9,958 k (Q1 2013: loss of EUR 192) which is shown as net result from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives.

As at March 31, 2014 alstria was not in breach of any of its financial covenants.
Interest expenses of EUR 1,205 k relate to a convertible bond issued by alstria in the third quarter of the financial year 2013.
Net financing costs increased by EUR 465 k to EUR 9,019 k in comparison with the first quarter 2013. The increase is attributable to a higher average loan level as compared to the previous reporting period.
The resulting consolidated net result amounts to EUR 4,017 k (Q1 2013: EUR 15,001 k). The main reason for the decrease in the consolidated net result as compared to the same period in 2013 is a valuation loss in financial derivatives (Q1 2014: EUR 9,958 k; Q1 2013: EUR 192 k).
Earnings per share amount to EUR 0.05 for the first three months of 2014.
alstria's financial management is carried out at corporate level. Individual loans and corporate bonds are taken out at both property level and portfolio level. alstria's main financial goal is to establish a sustainable longterm finance structure. An integral part of this structure is for example the coverage of long-term floating loans by corresponding hedging instruments, more precisely swaps and caps. Depending on the individual situation, fixed interest rate loans are used. The aim of this strategy is to largely eliminate short-term interest rate volatility from the income statement while providing the group with operational flexibility.
In February 2014, alstria signed a credit agreement amounting to EUR 61 m. The loan was taken out to replace an existing loan facility, which was due to mature on December 31, 2014 as well as to finance a further property in Hamburg. The new loan facility was drawn on March 19, 2014, amortising the existing loan by an amount of EUR 43 m at the same time. The new loan has a maturity of seven years.
Furthermore, alstria signed a credit agreement amounting to EUR 60 m in order to replace an existing loan facility, which was due to mature as of October 19, 2015 as well to finance two properties in Stuttgart and Düsseldorf, which were acquired in 2013. The new loan was drawn on March 31, 2014, amortising the old loan facility by an amount of EUR 48 m at the same time. The new loan has a maturity of ten years.
The excess amount of cash, generated by the afore mentioned transactions, has been used to partly amortize the existing syndicated loan facility by EUR 35 m on March 31, 2014. Hereby alstria will profit from more attractive conditions, which will lead to a long-term reduction of the group's interest expenditure.
The early refinancing-measures allow alstria to benefit from the currently attractive financing environment. They furthermore improve the overall debt maturity profile of the Company to around 5.9 years as at the end of March 2014. As a result, alstria has no major refinancing needs before 2018.

1) Refinancing of EUR 28 m has already been signed with a maturity date of Sep. 30, 2019.
Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 7,988 k for the first three months of 2014. The decrease as compared to the first quarter of 2013 (EUR 14,381 k) resulted mainly from a shift in payment dates for interest expenses in the first quarter of 2013 as well as higher one-off payouts for the conversion of virtual shares in the first quarter of 2014.
Cash flows from investing activities are impacted by cash inflows of EUR 6,150 k received for the sale of investment properties. Cash outflows related to investments in existing properties (EUR 7,467 k).
Cash flows from financing activities reflect cash inflows of an amount of EUR 121,430 due to taking out loans. Cash outflows of an amount of EUR 126,344 k were made towards the redemption of loans.
As a result, alstria ended the first three months of 2014 with a cash position of EUR 81,760 k (March 31, 2013: EUR 131,620 k).
The total value of investment property as at the reporting date amounted to EUR 1,630,679 k in comparison with EUR 1,632,362 k at the beginning of the financial year. The slight decrease of investment property is based on the disposal of two properties in the first quarter of 2014, which were partly compensated by investments in revitalization measures.

The balance sheet reflects a total equity position of EUR 849,841 k, which is an equity ratio of 47.6% (December 31, 2013: EUR 844,114 k or 47.3%), respectively.
The G-REIT equity ratio which is defined as total equity divided by immovable assets increased by 0.3 percentage points to 51.2% (December 31, 2013: 50.9%). According to the G-REIT Act (REIT-Gesetz – REITG), the minimum requirement for compliance with G-REIT criteria is an equity ratio of 45% as calculated at the end of the financial year.
NNNAV (Triple Net Asset Value according to EPRA*) increased from EUR 10.68 per share as at December 31, 2013 to EUR 10.75 per share as at March 31, 2014. The consolidated profit for the period amounted to EUR 4,017 k and was primarily accountable for the increase in equity. In total, this lead to an increase in equity from EUR 844,114 k to EUR 849,841 k**.

Long-term loans increased by 4.6% to EUR 860,017 k in the first quarter of 2014. The development is due to drawing new loans (EUR 121,430 k) in conjunction with the refinancing measures conducted in Q1 2014. Counter-effects were the amortizations at the end of the first quarter of 2014 amounting to EUR 82,902 k, as well as reclassifications to short-term loans amounting to EUR 1,436 k.
Current liabilities decreased to EUR 44,741 k (December 31, 2013: EUR 88,820), which is mainly linked to the repayment of short-term loans of an amount of EUR 43,442 k.
The risks and opportunities to which alstria is exposed are described in detail in alstria's Annual Report 2013. There have been no changes to the status represented in that report.
In March 2014, alstria signed binding and notarised agreements for the sale of an asset in Stuttgart. The transfer of benefits and burdens will take place on May 31, 2014. This asset is classified as an 'asset held for sale' as at March 31, 2014.
alstria proactively focuses on the following financial key performance indicators: revenues and funds from operations (FFO).
Revenue is mainly comprised of rental income, which derives from the leasing activities of the Company.
FFO is the operating result from real estate management, excluding valuation effects and other adjustments such as non-cash expenses/income and non-recurring effects.*
The statements and forecasts made in the Group management report 2013 with respect to the expected development of the Group for the financial year 2014 have not changed.
For the financial year 2014, the Company is expecting forecasted revenues of around EUR 102 m and an FFO of around EUR 47 m. The increase in FFO compared to the FFO of EUR 45 m as achieved in 2013 is mainly due to the Company's new finance structure, which results in lower financing costs.
The management report 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.

Notes
Ω as at March 31, 2014
alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg, (hereinafter referred to as the 'Company' or 'alstria office REIT-AG' and, together with its subsidiaries, as 'alstria' or the 'Group'), is a German stock corporation based in Hamburg. The Group's principal activities are described in detail in section 1 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending on December 31, 2013.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as the 'consolidated interim financial statements') were authorised for publication by resolution of the Company's Management Board on May 5, 2014.
These consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not contain all of the disclosures and explanations required in the annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those policies applied in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ending on December 31, 2013, and as outlined in those annual financial statements.
The following new interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the financial reporting period beginning on January 1, 2014:
on or after January 1, 2014*. * Shift of the mandatory application date for EU companies to January 1, 2014.
In May 2011, the IASB issued a set of five standards relating to group accounting, which are described below.
New standard issued on May 12, 2011. The objective of IFRS 10 is to establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements for an entity controlling one or more other entities. The standard supersedes the guidelines on consolidation as outlined in the present IAS 27 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' and SIC-12 'Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities'. IFRS 10 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014*.
New standard issued on May 12, 2011. The core principle of IFRS 11 is that a party to a joint arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations. It accounts for those rights and obligations in accordance with that specific type of joint arrangement. The standard supersedes IAS 31 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and SIC-13 'Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers'. IFRS 11 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014*.
New standard issued on May 12, 2011. The objective of IFRS 12 is to require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of and risks associated with the interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on their financial position, financial performance and cash flows. IFRS 12 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning
New revised standard issued on May 12, 2011. IAS 27 (revised 2011) has the objective of setting standards to be applied when accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates if an entity chooses to or is by local regulations required to present separate (non-consolidated) financial statements. Together with IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IAS 27 (2011) supersedes the previous version of IAS 27 (2008) 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements', including the related interpretation SIC-12 'Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities'. IAS 27 (revised 2011) is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014*.
New standard issued on May 12, 2011. The objective of IAS 28 (revised 2011) is to set the accounting for investments in associates and to set the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. IAS 28 (2011), together with IFRS 12 'Disclosures of interests in other entities', supersedes the previous version of IAS 28 (2008) 'Investments in Associates'. IAS 28 (revised 2011) is applicable to financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2014*.
Amendments to IFRS 10 'Consolidated financial statements', IFRS 11 'Joint arrangements', and IFRS 12 'Disclosures of interests in other entities' – Transition Guidance. The amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10, which also grants additional relief to the application of all three standards. Similar to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 the amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014*.
The IASB has revised the requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities and as a result has published amend-
full impact of IFRS 9 on its reported figures. * Shift of the mandatory application date for EU companies to January 1, 2014.
ments to IAS 32 'Financial instruments: presentation' and IFRS 7 'financial instruments: disclosure'. The current offsetting model in IAS 32 has basically been maintained and has solely been substantiated by an additional application guidance, which applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.
IAS 36 was amended by recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets (further clarification of disclosures is required). The amendment is applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.
The amendment relates to the novation of derivatives and the continuation of hedge accounting. According to the amendment there is no need to discontinue hedge accounting if a hedging derivative is novated, provided certain criteria are met. The amendment is applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is available for early adoption.
The initial application of the newly applied IFRS had no material effect on the presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements.
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards have been issued but are not effective for the financial year 2014 and have not been applied by the Group prior to becoming mandatory:
New standard issued on November 12, 2009. The standard addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and is likely to affect the Group's accounting of financial assets. Application of the standard is mandatory from January 1, 2018 onwards. However, the standard is available for early adoption subject to EU endorsement. The Group has not yet assessed the
New standard issued on January 30, 2014. The standard permits an entity, which is a first-time adopter of International Financial Reporting Standards to continue to account, with some limited changes, for 'regulatory deferral account balances' in accordance with its previous GAAP, both on initial adoption of IFRS and in subsequent financial statements. Regulatory deferral account balances, and movements in them, are presented separately in the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and specific disclosures are required. IFRS 14 applies to an entity's first annual IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Since alstria is not a firsttime adopter of IFRS the standard has no impact on the financial reporting of the Group.
On 16 December 2011, the IASB issued Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), which: amends the effective date of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 modifies the relief from restating comparative periods and the associated disclosures in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The amendments to IFRS 7 apply when an entity first applies the requirements of IFRS 9 and so apply to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 (or such other date as when an entity applies IFRS 9).
On November 21, 2013, the IASB published further amendments to IAS 19. The amendments clarify the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. In addition, it permits a practical expedient if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014, with earlier application permitted. The amendments do not affect the presentation of the Group's financial reporting.
The interpretation provides guidance on when to recognise a liability for a levy imposed by a government. Guidance is given for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those for which the timing and amount of the levy is known and certain. The interpretation is basically applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. However, it was not yet adopted by the European Union. It is not assumed that the interpretation has material consequences for the Group's financial reporting.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued 'Annual Improvements 2010–2012', a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to issues addressed during the 2010–2012 cycle. Eight standards (IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS 16, IAS 24, IAS 38 und IAS 34) are affected by the amendments. The improvements apply to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014 and will be of only minor, if any, relevance for the Group.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued 'Annual Improvements 2011–2013', a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to issues addressed during the 2011–2013 cycle. Four standards (IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13, IAS 40) are affected by the amendments. The improvements apply to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014 and will be of only minor, if any, relevance for the Group.
There have been no changes to the consolidated Group since the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.
Preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made for various items that have an effect on the amount and the disclosure of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates.
The personnel expenses shown in the profit and loss account totalling EUR 2,059 k (January 1 to March 31, 2013: EUR 1,435 k) include accrued bonuses of an amount of EUR 317 k (January 1 to March 31, 2013: EUR 329 k). Furthermore, personnel expenses of EUR 360 k (January 1 to March 31, 2013: income of EUR 115 k) relating to a sharebased compensation granted to the management are included (see Note 11), as are expenses for a share-based compensation resulting from convertible profit participation rights granted to employees of an amount of EUR 155 k (January 1 to March 31, 2013: EUR 127 k).

alstria office REIT-AG uses the fair value model pursuant to IFRS 13 for revaluation purposes. External appraisals were obtained for the value-determination as at December 31, 2013. A management review of fair values as at the date of the consolidated interim financial statements as at March 31, 2014 resulted in a fair value increase for investment properties held at December 31, 2013 totalling EUR 7,468 k. This amount relates to capitalised expenditure invested in the first quarter 2014 for refurbishment and project development. For a detailed description of the asset value determination process, please refer to section 7 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.
In the first quarter of 2014, benefits and burdens were transferred for one disposed property. The transaction volume amounted to EUR 6,150 k.
In addition, alstria signed a binding and notarised agreement for the sale of a further property during the first quarter of 2014. The transfer of benefits and burden is expected to take place during the second quarter of 2014. One asset is classified as 'asset held for sale' as of March 31, 2014.
As at March 31, 2014, EUR 251 k of total cash and cash equivalents (EUR 81,760 k) are subject to restrictions. The amount corresponds to accrued interest obligations and other amounts over which the Company may not freely dispose.

This reserve includes the portion of the gain or loss on hedging instruments within the cash flow hedge that is determined to be an effective hedge. The net changes for the increased valuation of derivative financial instrument amount to +EUR 99 k. An amount of +EUR 1.481 k relates to reclassifications of cumulated devaluations of cash flow hedges, for which the forecasted hedged transactions are no longer expected to occur due to the redemption of loans prior to maturity.
As at March 31, 2014 alstria's total interest-bearing debt, mainly consisting of outstanding loan balances and the convertible bond, amounted to EUR 908,978 k (December 31, 2013: EUR 913,892 k). The lower carrying amount of EUR 891,369 k (EUR 860,017 k non-current and EUR 31,352 k current) takes into account interest liabilities and transaction costs to be allocated under the effective interest method upon the raising of liabilities. Financial liabilities with a maturity of up to one year are recognised as current loans.
The issuing volume resulting from the convertible bond loan amounted to EUR 79,400 k and is included in full in the financial liabilities.
For a detailed description of the loans, loan terms and loan securities, please refer to the 'Financial management' section in the interim Group management report for the first quarter of 2014 (see page 14) and Section 11.2 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.
Derivative financial instruments are comprised of interest swaps and caps. The purpose of these financial derivatives is to hedge against interest risks arising from the Company's business activities and its sources of financing. In addition, an embedded derivative resulting from the issue of the convertible bond is included.
The fair value of the derivative financial instruments was determined by an independent expert by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing market interest rates.
For a more detailed description of the Group's derivative financial instruments and the presentation of their fair values please refer to page 11 of the interim Group management report.
All of the Group's financial instruments, which are recognised in the balance sheet at fair value, are valued using the level 2-valuation measurement approach. This, however, only applies to the Group's financial derivatives, as there are no other financial instruments that are recognised in the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value determination of the Group's financial derivatives is based on forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves.
