Quality portfolio supports record profitability and accretive growth

Aroundtown's (the 'Company' or 'AT') record profit of over EUR1.5 billion in 2017 is the result of its successful business model of acquiring income generating quality properties with value-add potential in central locations in top tier cities. The record profitability translated into strong shareholder value creation evident from the high growth in EPRA NAV per share (incl. perpetuals) of 41% to EUR7.6 as well as the strong FFO I per share growth of 44% to EUR0.36, reflecting an FFO yield of 5.8%.Accordingly, the dividend increased by 44% to EUR0.23 (subject to AGM approval), reflecting a dividend yield of 3.7%.

Aroundtown's successful year, as well as accretive growth on a per share basis, positioned the Company as a top performer in the market, outperforming all benchmarks and key market indices and resulting in a market cap of currently EUR6.4 billion, making Aroundtown the largest listed German commercial real estate company. These achievements are topped by the latest inclusions into major indices - the MDAX, FTSE/EPRA Index Series, Stoxx Europe 600, GPR 250 and DIMAX.

Conservative financial structure and rating upgrade to BBB+

Aroundtown's growth was supported along a conservative capital structure. The Loan-to-Value as of end of 2017 decreased to 36% from 39% in year-end 2016, providing significant headroom to the board's limit of 45%. In December 2017, S&P further increased Aroundtown's credit rating to BBB+ based on a stronger asset profile.AT enjoys the best-in-class ICR of 5.4x, the

highest unencumbered ratio among German commercial real estate peers of 71% (EUR7.1 billion), and longest debt duration of almost 8 years.
