Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
The development of the Russian economy – which has slowed further as a result of the ongoing military conflict in the east of Ukraine and the sanctions imposed against Russia – has continued to influence the markets in recent months.
The declining oil price, sanctions by the West as a consequence of the geopolitical tensions and the rapid decline of the Ruble will presumably cause the Russian economy to contract in 2015 – for the first time since 2009. At the beginning of December this year, the Ministry of Economics in Moscow warned of a recession. Current forecasts indicate that economic output in Russia will decline by 0.8% in 2015.
The Ruble continued to weaken against US Dollar and Euro during the second quarter of our 2014/15 financial year, falling by roughly 20% between the end of July and the end of October. This trend has intensified within last weeks and days, with the decline in the Ruble from the beginning of 2014 to the beginning of December amounting to nearly 40%.
Business in Russia affected by weak Ruble
These developments have also had an effect on our business in Russia and, in turn, could have a stronger-than-expected influence on our operating results during the
coming quarters through the extension of short-term temporary reductions in lease payments and a possible further decline in the exchange rate. Adjusted rental income in Russia (like-for-like, meaning without new acquisitions, completions and sales) fell by a slight -1.1% from the first to the second quarter. In view of the current weakness of the Ruble and the continued granting or extension of temporary lease payment reductions, further declines can be expected in the next quarters. The continued deterioration of the situation in Russia would presumably also have negative consequences for the foreign exchange-adjusted revaluation of our Russian assets.
The tenants in our Moscow shopping centers are confronted with a variety of problems, above all from the sharp drop in the Ruble. That means an increase in costs because in general our lease agreements are fixed in US Dollars or Euros. In order to support these long-term partnerships, we have met with numerous retailers in recent months and offered temporary reductions in lease payments on a case by case basis. That will help them to reduce the higher costs caused by foreign exchange effects. Since the Ruble has fallen further in the past months, we will have to continue this temporary payment reduction policy.
Our newest shopping center in Moscow, GOODZONE, is making an increasing contribution to rental income which
has offset part of our lease payment reductions in Russia. The GOODZONE had an occupancy rate of roughly 80% at the beginning of December, whereby not all of the shops had completed their outfitting or opened by that time. New rentals are becoming more difficult and proceeding at a slower pace because of the tense situation in Russia and the ongoing uncertainty.
The weak Ruble, high inflation and slower growth in nominal wages have led to a loss of purchasing power on the part of Russian consumers. The mood in the retail trade is therefore noticeably subdued: customer footfall in the shopping centers has been only slightly lower in recent months, but our tenants are reporting appreciable revenue declines. Actual trends in the normally strong Christmas shopping season will also play an important role in the development of our business during the third quarter of the current financial year. Experts at the Oxford Economics Research Institute are predicting a slight increase of only 0.4% in consumer spending in Russia for the full 12 months of 2014, but a decline of 3.8% in 2015.
We do not expect any significant improvement in the situation in Russia over the short-term, but hope at best for unsteady sideward development during the coming months. In spite of the current uncertainties, we believe in the Russian market and in Russia as an economic factor. Moscow and the surrounding region are still undersupplied with high-quality retail space compared to other major European cities. We will therefore continue to evaluate new investments with a moderate volume in this market.
With regard to our development activities, we completed a number of projects in recent months. Our first VIVO! shopping center opened in the Polish city of Piła on 17 October: the kick-off weekend brought over 70,000 visitors, and revenues exceeded our tenants' expectations in some cases by a sizeable margin. The extension of our STOP.STOP. retail warehouse in Gödöllo, Hungary, opened on 4 September and a further location in the Polish city of Żary followed on 20 November. Our STOP.SHOP. portfolio included 52 retail warehouses after the end of the second quarter of 2014/15 – and the expansion of both brands is continuing.
New development projects launched
We also recently launched new development projects in the German and Romanian office markets. These two countries, together with Poland, are the core markets that will form the focal point of our development activities in the coming years. In Aachen, we acquired the Cluster Produktionstechnik development project on the campus of RWTH Aachen University (Rheinisch-Westfälische-Technische Hochschule), which we plan to complete by autumn 2016. This building will have 28,000 sqm of rentable space – with registered requirements equalling 80% of the space and long lease terms.
In Bucharest we are developing the Metroffice, an office complex with three buildings. This project also marks the start of the long-term transformation and expansion of the existing Iride Business Park into Iride City, a modern urban quarter. Approx. 40,000 sqm of rentable space are planned for the Metroffice, with the first phase of construction covering nearly 20,000 sqm.
We also continued our exit from non-core markets in the trading business with the sale of three logistics properties in Switzerland – our last assets in this market – to a Credit Suisse real estate fund. The sale price of approx. EUR 95 million for the package exceeded the book value of the properties. In Houston, Texas, we sold three residential property projects to Sueba, a local developer, and profitably completed our exit from the US market. These sales reduced the share of non-core countries in the IMMOFINANZ Group portfolio by nearly one-half from 6.6% at the end of April 2014 to 3.8%.
The payment of a cash dividend for the current financial year 2014/15 depends on the attainment of a distributable balance sheet profit of IMMOFINANZ AG. In light of current and further developments in Russia, the Executive Board does not provide a concrete Guidance on the size of a potential dividend. The strong drop in the price of IMMOFINANZ shares due to the crisis in Russia and the related high discount to Net Asset Value provide an attractive opportunity to buy back our own shares. As a result, we plan on starting a new share buyback programme shortly.

IMMOFINANZ Group – The market leader for commercial properties in CEE
A real estate machine with profitability along the entire value chain
Who we are
IMMOFINANZ Group is a real estate investment and development corporation that is listed on the Vienna and Warsaw Stock Exchanges. Since our founding in 1990, we have compiled a high-quality property portfolio that now includes 334 standing investments with a carrying amount of roughly EUR 5.9 billion. We currently manage 3,461,118 sqm of rentable space, which generate a gross return of 7.8% based on a current occupancy of roughly 86.1%.
Where we operate
We generate sustainable income for our investors with high-quality properties. Our activities are concentrated on prime properties in three asset classes – retail, office and logistics. Eight core countries represent the geographic focus of our portfolio: Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and Russia.
What we work on every day
Greater profitability along the entire value chain
As a real estate machine, we concentrate on linking our three core business areas: the development of sustainable, specially designed prime properties in premium locations (Development), the professional management of these properties (Asset Management) and cycle-optimised sales (Trade). Our active and decentralised asset management increases rental income and reduces vacancies. When we sell a property, the liquid funds we receive are reinvested in new development projects. Our goal is to generate greater profitability along the entire value chain with a clearly defined and "industrialised" process, maintain a steady pace of sales to make sure our portfolio stays modern and attractive and generate high cash flow for our shareholders.
Why we believe in CEE
Stronger focus on CEE The spin-off of BUWOG in the 2013/14 financial year shifted our geographic focus even more towards Eastern Europe. At the same time, we sharpened our profile as the leading specialist for office, retail and logistics properties in Central and Eastern Europe. Two-thirds of the IMMOFINANZ portfolio are now located in CEE and Russia and one-third in Western Europe. We believe in the long-term growth story and the convergence potential of Eastern Europe.
What role brands play in our business
We place a strong focus on branding in our property portfolio. That not only allows for fast roll-out to a number of countries in the development business, but also guarantees uniform quality standards and high recognition for our customers. In the retail sector, we have already established two successful brands with our STOP.SHOP. retail warehouse chain and our new VIVO! shopping centers. Deutsche Lagerhaus and LOG CENTER stand for our logistics activities in Germany and Eastern Europe. This brand policy has proven to be an advantage in all areas of our business – this is also true for the sale process, as the successful listing of BUWOG showed.

Panorama
More than 70,000 visitors …
… attended the opening weekend in the Polish city of Piła that marked the launch of our first VIVO! shopping center – it was a great success. The official ceremony on 17 October was followed by a variety of highlights, including a concert by the Polish singer Dawid Kwiatkowski. This 18-year-old newcomer sang on Friday evening – with the first fans reserving spots near the stage at midday. Saturday was fashion day with a number of trend shows with well-known supermodels and, as the star guest, Joanna Krupa, a successful international model, moderator and actress. The media interest in this city of 60,000 inhabitants was huge. And one more interesting number: VIVO! Piła already has 5,000 fans on Facebook.
All good things come in threes …
… Happy 3rd Anniversary, Maritimo! Just like last year, we celebrated the birthday of our Maritimo Shopping Center at the end of October 2014. An entire weekend was devoted to the third anniversary of the opening – this IMMOFINANZ development project opened its doors on 27 October 2011 and was the focus of celebrations from 24–26 October 2014. The festivities included two Romanian bands, Lala Band and Holograf, as well as workshops for children and a fashion show. The result: more than 100,000 visitors in only three days.
One very special award …
… went to our mixed-use property Na Příkopě 14: at the beginning of November, it was recognised with the "Best of Realty" award in the category "renovated office buildings". This competition is considered one of the most respected in the branch – a total of 42 projects were submitted in six categories, and the winners were chosen by an expert jury. As the organisers' press release stated: "In the category of renovated office buildings, the Na Příkopě 14 project stands out for the careful renovation of a historical building. The
exterior facade blends in with the original structure, while the old interior was expanded and carefully adapted to accommodate state-of-the-art technological elements. The users can enjoy a representative and prestigious building, where the rooms also meet the highest demands for comfort."
Nearly 400 private investors …
… stopped by to visit with us on 24 and 26 November and used the opportunity to spend an evening with IMMOFINANZ management. After the success and enormous interest in 2013, this was the second series in our road show for private investors: the programme included a discussion of current developments and strategy with the members of our Executive Board, who were naturally ready to answer the many questions. The event location – ThirtyFive in our Twin Tower – also gave our guests a unique view over Vienna at night. Videos, a short report and pictures can be found under: privatanleger.immofinanz.com (only German).
Just about 33,000 sqm of new retail space …
… were completed by IMMOFINANZ in Poland during 2014: with the STOP.SHOP. in Ketrzyn that opened in September, the first VIVO! Shopping Center in Piła and the recently launched STOP.SHOP. in Żary, we finalised three retail development projects in this country during 2014. Since we have become well-known for our lively opening celebrations, a colourful and diverse entertainment programme was also organised at Żary on 20 November. The highlight was a concert by Margaret, a songstress who is well-known not only in Poland but also in other countries (she also made the Austrian charts with her hit "Thank You Very Much").
Investor Relations
The capital markets and share development
The international financial markets remained volatile throughout the first half of 2014/15. Share prices were negatively influenced by tensions in Ukraine, Syria and Iraq. The market climate was initially improved by positive economic indicators and the historic interest rate cut by the European Central Bank (ECB), but downward revisions to economic forecasts reduced this optimism. The Dow Jones rose to a record high of 17,351 points on 19 September. The DAX topped 10,000 points for the first time in its 26-year history on 5 June 2014 and reached an all-time high of 10,029.43 points on 3 July; the low for the year to date was reached on 8 August (8,903 points).
The ATX started the reporting period at 2,525.22 points and closed on 31 October 2014 at 2,214.70 points. The IATX fell from 200.14 to 198.03 points and the Euro STOXX 50 from 3,198.39 to 3,113.32 points. The EPRA/NAREIT Emerging Europe Index declined from 975.40 to 963.88 points, while the EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe rose from 1,719.48 to 1,836.1 points.
Development of international stock market indexes
21st Annual General Meeting
The 21st Annual General Meeting (AGM) of IMMOFINANZ AG was held on 30 September 2014 in the Austria Center Vienna. Christian Böhm was re-elected to the Supervisory Board for a term of office ending with the AGM that will decide on the release from liability for the 2015/16 financial year. The terms of office for the other elected members of the Supervisory Board end at this same time.
The Supervisory Board of IMMOFINANZ AG remains unchanged with four shareholder representatives (Michael Knap, Chairman, Rudolf Fries, Vice-Chairman, Christian Böhm and Nick J. M. van Ommen) as well as two employee representatives. The employee representatives changed after the reporting period: since the end of November, Mark Anthony Held and Philipp Obermair (who replaced Nikolaus Obermair) have served as the employee representatives on the Supervisory Board.
Read about the AGM online
The shareholders eligible to vote approved all points on the AGM agenda. The Executive Board's authorisation to purchase and sell treasury shares was renewed. Documents relating to the AGM are available on the IMMOFINANZ website under www.immofinanz.com/en/investor-relations/general-meeting). The company blog includes the most important statements, questions and answers: blog.immofinanz.com.
The IMMOFINANZ share
IMMOFINANZ AG trades in the leading index of the Vienna Stock Exchange with approx. 1.1 billion zero par value, voting shares (bearer shares, no preferred or registered shares). The IMMOFINANZ share started the new financial year at EUR 2.67 and closed at EUR 2.41 on 31 October 2014. This represents a decline of 6.9%1 below the price at the end of the first half of 2013/14. Various factors continue to have a negative effect on the IMMOFINANZ share, especially the crisis in Ukraine and its further development as well as the implementation of sanctions and their effects on the Russian market. With a discount of 46.1% between the share price and net asset value (EUR 4.48) as of 31 October 2014, the IMMOFINANZ share has a high potential for an increase in value. The market capitalisation of IMMOFINANZ AG totalled EUR 2.7 billion as of 31 October 2014.
The IMMOFINANZ share was removed from the ATX five, a capitalisation-weighted price index of the five shares with the highest weighting in the ATX, as of 22 September 2014 because of the higher free float capitalisation of Andritz AG shares. BUWOG AG was added to the ATX at this same time.
Dividend policy
Dividend planned
IMMOFINANZ plans to resume dividend payments starting in 2014/15, whereby the distribution should range from EUR 0.15 to 0.20 per share (including a possible share buyback). The amount of the cash dividend will depend on Group earnings and on the scope of a possible share buyback.
Exchangeable bond for shares in BUWOG AG
On 11 September 2014, IMMOFINANZ AG issued an exchangeable bond for shares in BUWOG AG. The exchangeable bond (ISIN XS1108672988) has a volume of EUR 375.0 million and a coupon of 1.5% per year and is backed by roughly 23.1 million BUWOG shares. IMMOFINANZ is entitled to deliver BUWOG shares or a cash settlement in the event of exchange. The exchangeable bond was issued and will be redeemed at 100% of the nominal value. The bond's term will end on 11 September 2019 with a put option on 11 September 2017. The resulting liquidity is being used to repay existing, more expensive financing, for current and planned portfolio investments, opportunistic growth opportunities and general corporate purposes. For example, the EUR 260.0 million equity bridge concluded with several banks shortly after the start of the reporting year was repaid in full during the second quarter from the proceeds of the exchangeable bond. The equity bridge was used to finance the subscription of the EUR 260.0 million convertible bond issued by BUWOG AG in April 2014. This step led to a substantial reduction in financing costs.
The Annual General Meeting of BUWOG AG on 14 October 2014 approved the payment of a cash dividend of EUR 0.69 per share for the 2013/14 financial year. The conversion price for the exchangeable bond issued by IMMOFINANZ AG for shares in BUWOG AG was consequently adjusted to EUR 16.26 as of 15 October 2014. The original exchange price equalled EUR 17.03.
2018 convertible bond (ISIN XS0592528870)
Based on the cash dividend for BUWOG shares which was approved by the Annual General Meeting of BUWOG AG on 14 October 2014, the conversion rights for the 2018 convertible bond issued by IMMOFINANZ AG were amended as of 15 October 2014. One certificate of the 2018 convertible bond (nominal value: EUR 4.12 per certificate) currently entitles the bondholder to conversion into 1.1573 IMMOFINANZ shares (no change) and 0.0606 BUWOG shares (previously: 0.0579). As of 31 October 2014, the 2018 convertible bond had an outstanding nominal value of EUR 508.5 million with a put option on 8 March 2016.
1 The closing price on 31 October 2013, adjusted for the BUWOG spin-off, equalled EUR 2.59 (actual closing price for the IMMOFINANZ share on the Vienna Stock Exchange as of 31 October 2013: EUR 3.225 x price adjustment factor of 0.803396 = EUR 2.591)
2017 convertible bond (ISIN XS0332046043)
The conversion rights for the 2017 convertible bond issued by IMMOFINANZ AG were also amended as of 16 October 2014 based on the dividend paid by BUWOG. One certificate of the 2017 convertible bond (nominal value: EUR 100,000.0 per certificate) currently entitles the bondholder to conversion into 12,547.05 IMMOFINANZ shares (no change) and 660.95 BUWOG shares (previously: 627.35).
The cancellation period for the premature redemption of the 2017 convertible bond ended on 19 November 2014. A total of 137 certificates from this bond were registered for redemption by the bondholders. The total amount of EUR 13.7 million plus interest was repaid from internal funds. After this redemption, a nominal value of EUR 21.4 million from the 2017 convertible bond is still outstanding. This outstanding nominal value will be repaid on 19 November 2017 (maturity date), unless there are further conversions into IMMOFINANZ shares before that time.
Analysis of shareholder structure
IMMOFINANZ AG is the leading listed commercial property investor in the CEE region. It serves as the parent company of IMMOFINANZ Group and is a public company whose shares are held in free float. The share capital of IMMOFINANZ AG totalled EUR 1,172,059,877.27 as of 31 October 2014 and is divided into 1,128,952,687 zero par value shares with voting rights (ISIN AT0000809058) each of which represents a proportional share of EUR 1.04 (rounded) in share capital. A holder of 2018 convertible bond certificates converted during the second quarter of 2014/15; IMMOFINANZ serviced this conversion from treasury shares. Therefore, the share capital and number of shares remain unchanged in comparison with 30 April 2014. Free float, excluding treasury shares, represents more than 90% and is distributed primarily among Austrian private investors and national and international institutional investors.
Private and institutional investors by country
Austrian private investors hold 32.4% of the shares, or slightly less than institutional investors with approx. 51.3%. Most of the institutional investors come from Austria (15.1%), followed by North America (8.7%), Great Britain (5.5%), the Netherlands (3.9%) and Norway (2.5%).
The company was informed that FRIES Familien-Privatstiftung, Dr. Rudolf FRIES Familien-Privatstiftung, the spouses Anna and Rudolf Fries and other closely related persons (together the "Fries Group") have directly and indirectly held over 5% of the shares since 15 April 2011. As of 31 October 2014, the Fries Group held approx. 6.1% of the voting rights in IMMOFINANZ AG.
On 11 January 2013 the US bank JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced that, together with the holdings of companies under its control, it held a relevant stake in IMMOFINANZ, which represented approx. 6.1% of the total voting shares.2
There are no further reports of holdings over 4%, respectively 5%.
2 There are no reporting requirements for investments between 5% and 10%; therefore the stake held by JP Morgan – based on the reported information – could have been within this range as of 31 October 2014.
External analyses
Analysts' views of a company have a significant influence on the opinions of investors.

Communications with investors
IMMOFINANZ Group works to maintain a continuous dialogue with institutional and private investors as well as analysts. In line with this policy, the CEO, CFO and Head of Corporate Finance & Investor Relations attended road shows and conferences during and after the reporting period, among others in Boston, Graz, London, Munich, New York, Prague, Singapore, Stegersbach, Tokyo, Toronto, Warsaw and Vienna. In addition, numerous investors and analysts took advantage of the opportunity to obtain detailed information on IMMOFINANZ Group in personal meetings at the corporate headquarters and to learn about the IMMOFINANZ portfolio through property tours at various locations.
In November, IMMOFINANZ held a road show for private investors in its Vienna headquarters. Eduard Zehetner, Birgit Noggler and Dietmar Reindl presented the latest developments and strategy of IMMOFINANZ Group and then answered questions from the audience.

Economic Developments in the Core Countries of IMMOFINANZ Group
Analyses and outlook
In the long-term view since the end of the financial crisis, the global economy presents a positive picture. Growth is currently driven, above all, by the USA and China – but there are certain dampers and downward risks in the advanced West European markets that have intensified during the course of the year as the result of political tensions (Ukraine crisis, Syria). An analysis by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) points toward growth of 2.4% in the global economy in 2014, with a stronger increase of 3.0% and 2.9% in 2015 and 2016 respectively. The European markets remained reserved during the first three quarters of 2014 – but slight growth is expected in most of the countries (with the exception of individual economies like Italy and Cyprus) for the full 12 months of 2014.
Global economy: subdued growth
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) issued a downward revision to its economic forecast in mid-September 2014. As the reasons for this step, the OECD report named geopolitical risks like the crisis in Ukraine and the tensions in the Near East. The OECD is now projecting growth of 0.8% for the Euro zone in 2014, or 0.4 percentage points less than in its May 2014 report. The forecast for 2015 was also reduced by 0.6 percentage points to 1.1%. Germany is now only expected to generate growth of 1.5% in 2014 and 2015, in contrast to the OECD's May report which called for an increase of 1.9% in 2014 and 2.1% in 2015. The OECD sees a risk of ongoing stagnation, above all in the Euro zone, if demand cannot be stimulated. According to a number of macroeconomic forecasts, Russia is also facing a recession in 2015 due to the low oil price and a decline in foreign investment. The unusually low oil price could, however, drive growth in 2015 for the countries that benefit from lower-priced imports of this raw material.
Developments on the European markets
Economic development in Europe remains reserved. The Euro zone emerged from the recession and, according to the EIU, generated growth of 0.1% in 2013. A further slight improvement to +1.3% is expected in 2014. The Euro zone is somewhat weaker, with the EIU estimates showing an increase of 0.8%. This situation reflects the steady high level of unemployment, high private debt and restrictive bank lending to businesses and private households.
EU: Revised growth forecasts
The growth forecasts for 2015 were reduced during the past quarter not only by the OECD, but also by the EIU (+1.5% for the EU and +1.2% for the Euro zone). Although these indicators were positively influenced by the decline in the oil price and the Euro exchange rate, the numerous political trouble spots have created a generally negative mood. The sanctions against Russia are a particularly weighty factor in this respect: after a further tightening in September 2014, the EU continues to pursue its current sanctions policy. Among others, this policy includes restricted access by Russian banks and government-related businesses to the capital market. Sanctions were also imposed against military and dual-use goods (items that can be used for both civil and military purposes) and against the oil industry. In addition, sanctions tied to specific persons limit the cooperation between Russian and West European companies.
Russia's role as an economic driver for the region and, consequently, the future development of the entire CEE region and Western Europe is still dependent on the extent of foreign sanctions against Russia and the counteractions taken by Moscow. The steady decline in the Rubel, the low oil price and the growing reservation on the part of consumers are creating increasing difficulties for the Russian economy. Experts at the Oxford Economics research institute number the decline in the Rubel from the beginning of the year to 3 December 2014 at 40.0%, and the oil price has fallen by roughly 36.0% since July. In December 2014, the researchers at Oxford Economics projected a decline of approx. 2.0% for the Russian economy in 2015 if the oil price stabilises at roughly USD 70.0 per barrel. They are also forecasting an increase of only 0.4% in consumer spending in Russia during 2014, but a decline of 3.8% in 2015. This shift will reflect the increase in inflation and weaker growth in nominal wages as well as the geopolitical risks that have a negative influence on consumer confidence. Europe's strong exporting countries have already been faced with declining volumes and subsequent economic weakness: for example, the Austrian Economic Chamber has estimated the decline in German exports to Russia at 16.6% during the period from January to August 2014.
Overview of the IMMOFINANZ core markets
The steady upward trend after the European financial crisis is still evident in the IMMOFINANZ core countries, despite the slowdown in growth caused by the geopolitical situation. The Central and East European countries continue to confirm their substantial growth potential and benefit from exports to Germany, Austria and other West European countries.
Key economic indicators – including GDP growth, inflation, sovereign debt and the unemployment rate – for the IMMOFINANZ core countries are presented in the following section.
According to the EIU, the average GDP in the EU will increase by 1.3% in 2014 (2013: +0.1%). Developments in the CEE region are somewhat better: the average GDP for the core countries of IMMOFINANZ Group (six of them in the CEE region), weighted by fair value, should rise by 1.5% in 2014 and by 1.8% in 2015. This development again confirms IMMOFINANZ Group's strategic focus on the growth markets in CEE. Growth potential in CEE
EuroStat again reported a very low inflation rate of 0.4% in October 2014, which is still substantially below the 2.0% target set for the Euro zone. Although low inflation can generally stimulate economic growth, the hoped-for improvement has failed to materialise despite the current minimal ECB interest rates. The average unemployment rate in the EU has stabilised in recent months according to EuroStat and equalled 10.1% in September 2014 (September 2013: 10.8%). However, unemployment is substantially lower in the core countries of IMMOFINANZ Group, with the exception of Slovakia. Sovereign debt in the CEE region is still much lower than the EU average: as reported by the EIU, the gross national debt in relation to GDP is forecasted to average 88.5% for the EU member states and 94.7% for the Euro zone in 2014 – which would represent another year-on-year increase. In contrast, the gross national debt in the IMMOFINANZ core countries, e.g. Romania (37.0%) and the Czech Republic (43.5%), is substantially lower.

The Property Markets in the Core Regions of IMMOFINANZ Group
Developments. Results. Outlook.1
Developments on the global real estate markets were definitely positive during the first three quarters of the 2014 calendar year. The steady recovery on the real estate market in Europe was confirmed, above all, by the continued increase in transaction volumes. The volumes on the transaction market in CEE, excluding Russia, rose substantially year-on-year (Q1–Q3 2014 plus 11% versus Q1–Q3 2013) – whereby lower volumes were only recorded in Russia and Ukraine due to the uncertainty caused by the Ukraine crisis. In spite of this development, the domestic demand by Russian investors remains sound. Russia-oriented investors continue to see significant potential over the mediumto long-term and are still interested in investments in this country.
Property transactions in Europe totalled EUR 135.4 billion in the first three quarters of 2014. That represents a 29.3% increase over the comparable prior year period. In view of the traditionally strong fourth quarter, it is therefore likely that the 2013 record volume of EUR 154.0 billion will be exceeded.
In Western Europe, investor demand was particularly strong in most countries – including economically distressed coun-
Renewed investor focus on Hungary and Romania
tries like Spain and Ireland. The interest in the CEE region continues to grow – real estate with a value of EUR4.3billion was traded in the first three quarters of 2014 – whereby Hungary and Romania have again become a focal point for investors.
Solid performance in the IMMOFINANZ core countries
The market indicators in the asset classes and core countries of IMMOFINANZ Group continue to improve, especially in the retail and logistics sectors. The Group benefits from its commitment to CEE because a number of these economies still demonstrate substantially better development and greater growth potential than the countries in Western Europe. In contrast, the development of the Russian market is heavily dependent on the Ukraine crisis and the related sanctions and uncertainty.
The following section summarises the market developments in the individual asset classes of IMMOFINANZ Group's core markets and analyses these developments based on key indicators (yield levels and vacancy rates).
Office
JLL's European Office Index, which is based on the weighted development of prime rents in 24 European markets, remained stable during the third quarter after a slight improvement of 1.5% in the first half of 2014. The office rental market in Europe has weakened (-18.0% in comparison with the second quarter) and reflects the general economic uncertainty. According to JLL, the average vacancy rates on the European markets were unchanged at 9.7% for the seventh consecutive quarter, with substantially different performance on the individual markets. JLL reported an increase of 22.0% in the new construction volume during the first three quarters of 2014, with 500,000 sqm completed in Moscow alone during the third quarter.
| City/core market | Vacancy rate Q3 2014 for office properties in % | Prime yields Q3 2014 for office properties in % |
|---|---|---|
| Bratislava, Slovakia | 14.5% | 7.0%–7.3% |
| Bucharest, Romania | 14.4% | 8.0% |
| Budapest, Hungary | 16.9% | 7.3%–7.5% |
| Düsseldorf, Germany | 11.3% | 4.6%–5.7% |
| Moscow, Russia | 15.5% | 9.5% |
| Prague, Czech Republic | 14.0% | 6.0%–6.3% |
| Vienna, Austria | 6.6% | 4.7% |
| Warsaw, Poland | 13.8% | 6.0%–6.3% |
| Sources: JLL, EHL (Vienna data) |
Office: stable rents
Prime office rents in the IMMOFINANZ Group core markets remained constant. The yield levels were generally stable, with an improvement in Hungary and Romania and a decline only in Russia. The development of vacancy rates differed: a slight improvement was registered in Budapest and Düsseldorf, but the rental situation in Warsaw deteriorated, above all due to the substantial increase in new construction.
Retail
The long phase of rising demand has been followed by a slight decline in consumer confidence due to the current political unrest. This is true, above all, for the Euro zone, while the CEE countries are less affected due to their convergence potential and generally better economic development. The Commerz Finanz consumer barometer for 2014 indicates that Europe's consumers are saving less in the current low-interest environment and spending more on consumer goods, which has stimulated both the online and offline retail trade.
| City/core market | Vacancy rate Q3 2014 for shopping centers in % | Prime yields Q3 2014 for shopping centers in % |
|---|---|---|
| Bratislava, Slovakia | 8.0% | 6.8%–7.0% |
| Bucharest, Romania | 9.5%–10.0% | 8.0% |
| Budapest, Hungary | 10.0% | 7.3%–7.5% |
| Düsseldorf, Germany | n.a. | 4.6%–5.1% |
| Moscow, Russia | 6.0% | 9.8% |
| Prague, Czech Republic | 3.5% | 6.0%–6.3% |
| Vienna, Austria | n.a. | 5.5% |
| Warsaw, Poland | 1.6% | 5.5% |
| Sources: JLL, EHL (Vienna data) |
Retail: substantial interest by investors
Prime rents remained stable in the IMMOFINANZ core markets and even increased in Moscow. Yields improved as a result of the rising demand – with the exception of Russia. Vacancies were generally constant, with a slight increase only in Moscow.
The tenants in the IMMOFINANZ Russian shopping centers are faced with numerous problems, above all due to the substantial weakening of the Rubel. IMMOFINANZ has therefore offered temporary rent reductions in order to protect the long-term partnerships with these tenants. The sentiment in the Russian retail sector is subdued: retail revenues have fallen by several percentage points, while the number of visitors in the shopping centers is stable to slightly lower.
Logistics
The demand for logistics space in Europe remains strong, with the ongoing boom in online retailing serving as an important growth driver. The market is characterised by a high volume of construction, which is focused especially on prelet, build-to-suit properties (facilities that are developed and constructed to meet specific customer requirements). On the transaction side, logistics buildings and portfolios are especially popular with investors.
| City/core market | Vacancy rate Q3 2014 for logistics properties in % | Prime yields Q3 2014 for logistics properties in % |
|---|---|---|
| Bratislava, Slovakia | 7.5% | 8.3%–8.5% |
| Bucharest, Romania | 10.0% | 9.8% |
| Budapest, Hungary | 18.6% | 9.3%–9.5% |
| Düsseldorf, Germany | n.a. | 6.2%–7.0% |
| Moscow, Russia | 5.1% | 11.3% |
| Prague, Czech Republic | 8.0% | 7.0%–7.3% |
| Vienna, Austria | n.a. | 7.0% |
| Warsaw, Poland | 10.7% | 7.0%–7.3% |
| Sources: JLL, EHL (Vienna data) |
Logistics: dynamic growth
The vacancy rate in logistics properties improved during the third quarter of 2014 in Budapest, Bucharest and Warsaw. In Moscow, the vacancy rate rose to a still low 5.1% due to the large number of recently completed projects. Rents remained generally stable, and yield improved substantially in most of the core countries – in particular Germany, Poland and Romania.
Portfolio Report
The core activities of IMMOFINANZ Group cover the rental of standing investments and the development of real estate in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. These activities are designed to create a diversified, risk-optimised, sustainable portfolio of standing investments. The primary objective is to maximise profitability along the entire value chain – from the in-house development of properties to optimisation through active asset management and sale.
The spin-off of the BUWOG Group in 2013/14 gave IMMOFINANZ Group a sharper profile as a specialist form commercial properties in the office, retail and logistics asset classes of its core markets: Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Russia. In order to allow for more efficient and targeted actions in these different markets, IMMOFINANZ Group's activities are further divided into ten strategic business segments based on homogeneous product groups.
Property portfolio
The property portfolio of IMMOFINANZ Group is reported on the balance sheet under the following positions: investment property, property under construction, properties held for sale and real estate inventories. "Investment property" consists of standing investments as well as temporarily suspended development projects and undeveloped land. "Property under construction" consists solely of development projects currently in progress, which will be reclassified by IMMOFINANZ Group as standing investment properties after completion. "Real estate inventories" comprise properties that are developed for sale after completion and include, for example, condominium apartments. "Properties held for sale" represent standing assets for which the Group had concrete sale plans as of 31 October 2014 that are expected to be realised soon after the balance sheet date.
The portfolio report covers all properties held by IMMOFINANZ Group, independent of the balance sheet classification. These properties are reported as standing investments (properties that generate rental income), development projects (projects under construction and completed condominium apartments) or pipeline projects (temporarily suspended projects, future planned development projects and undeveloped land).
The following charts reconcile the property assets of IMMOFINANZ Group as reported on the balance sheet as of 31 October 2014 with the presentation in this portfolio report:

The IMMOFINANZ Group property portfolio had a carrying amount of EUR 6,827.7 million as of 31 October 2014. Of this total, standing investments represent the largest component at EUR 5,897.6 million or 86.4%. Active development projects comprise EUR 480.4 million or 7.0% of the carrying amount of the property portfolio. A carrying amount of EUR 449.7 million or 6.6% is attributable to the project pipeline, which comprises temporarily suspended development projects, future planned development projects and undeveloped land.
An analysis shows the main focus of IMMOFINANZ Group's portfolio in Russia with 25.1%, followed by Austria with 19.3% and Romania with 14.0%. Germany ranks fourth with 9.9% of the total portfolio.
A description of IMMOFINANZ Group's property portfolio is provided in the following sections:
Office
The business segment International High-Class Office consists solely of prime office properties in the most attractive markets. Outstanding quality and a top location are the basic requirements for this business segment. The properties are selected, above all, with a view to meeting international standards. With 18.7% of the total portfolio, the International High-Class Office portfolio represents an important source of revenues and can be seen as a key source of stability for IMMOFINANZ Group. This group of properties includes, among others, the City Tower Vienna (Vienna, Austria) and the Park Postepu (Warsaw, Poland), both of which are fully rented, as well as the S-Park and Iride Business Park (Bucharest, Romania).
The Secondary Office AT/DE portfolio comprises good quality, functional office properties. The target group consists primarily of cost-conscious tenants. With 8.3% of the total portfolio, the focal points of this business segment are the stable markets in Austria and Germany.
The properties in the Secondary Office CEE portfolio are located in the capital cities of Central and Eastern Europe. With 9.7% of the total portfolio, this business segment also concentrates primarily on cost-conscious tenants and is intended to strengthen the market position in Eastern Europe.
A focus on high-quality properties at good locations also requires the sale of assets that have a sizeable potential for repositioning, but do not match the target portfolio of IMMOFINANZ Group with respect to size, location, quality or other features. These properties are designated for sale over the short- and medium-term and are combined under the business segment Opportunistic Office. This category represents 2.7% of the entire portfolio.
Retail
Retail activities are concentrated in the Quality Shopping Center segment. With a 32.8% share of the total portfolio, these prime shopping facilities with international tenants are found exclusively in large, strong locations. The demands on size, quality, location and an international tenant mix are very high in this segment. Substantial retail expertise and an extensive international network make it possible for IMMOFINANZ Group to generate sustainable competitive advantages in this area. The properties in this segment include, among others, the Polus Center Cluj (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) and the Golden Babylon Rostokino (Moscow, Russia), with approx. 168,000 sqm of rentable retail space
the largest and most profitable property in IMMOFINANZ Group's retail portfolio. Also included here is GOODZONE, a Moscow shopping center recently completed by IMMOFINANZ.
The business segment STOP.SHOP./Retail Warehouse, with a 7.1% share of the total portfolio, comprises retail warehouses in Austria and Eastern Europe that are characterised by a standardised format and an attractive tenant mix. These properties are situated mainly at top locations in catchment areas with 30,000 to 150,000 residents and generally have at least 3,000 sqm of space on a single level. In this segment IMMOFINANZ Group created the STOP.SHOP. brand in 2002 and has successfully established it in CEE and Austria. Following the rebranding of selected Austrian retail warehouses at the end of 2012 and the acquisition of five existing retail parks at the end of December 2013 (four in Slovenia and one in the Czech Republic), the STOP.SHOP. brand is represented with 52 locations in six countries. IMMOFINANZ Group now operates four retail warehouses in Poland, following the recent opening of the STOP.SHOP. Żary and STOP.SHOP. Ketrzyn. The STOP.SHOP.s offer convincing benefits, above all, with uniform quality standards, planning with a focus on easy shopping and high recognition. Plans call for the further expansion of this brand in the future with a focus on the Polish market. Market entry in Serbia and Romania is also planned.
With VIVO!, IMMOFINANZ Group has also developed a new shopping center brand. VIVO! shopping centers will generally have at least 15,000 sqm of rentable space on a single level and locations in cities with a catchment area of 40,000 to 100,000 residents. The first VIVO! shopping center opened during October 2014 in the Polish city of Piła and attracted 70,000 visitors on the first weekend (17 to 19 October) – 91% of the 24,000 sqm of rentable space were occupied at that time. The second VIVO! shopping center is currently under construction in Stalowa Wola, a city in south-eastern Poland, and is scheduled to open during the third quarter of 2015. The VIVO! concept – similar to the STOP.SHOP.s – is based on high standardisation and is also well suited for a systematised rollout. Therefore, plans are currently in progress for the development of further VIVO! locations.
A concentration on high-quality properties at good locations also requires the sale of assets that have a sizeable potential for repositioning, but do not match the target portfolio of IMMOFINANZ Group with respect to size, location, quality or other features. These retail properties are designated for sale over the short- to medium-term and are combined under the business segment Opportunistic Retail. They comprise approx. 3.9% of the total portfolio.
Logistics
Logistics activities in Western Europe are located primarily in Germany and the Netherlands and are combined in the Logistics West business segment. IMMOFINANZ Group has successfully developed a strong position in the logistics market with its subsidiaries Deutsche Lagerhaus and Citybox. This market is characterised by outstanding growth prospects and is considered one of the most dynamic asset classes in Western Europe. In October, IMMOFINANZ Group announced the sale of three logistics properties in Switzerland to a Credit Suisse AG real estate fund and thereby completed its strategic exit from the Swiss market. This category represents 6.7% of the total portfolio.
The Logistics East portfolio, with a share of 2.9%, is concentrated mainly in the promising Central and East European region and covers all logistics activities in the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Russia, Poland and Slovakia. With LOG CENTER a strong international umbrella brand was established for the properties in this asset class in Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. Close cooperation with the Logistics West portfolio creates a strong competitive advantage, which also allows IMMOFINANZ Group to offer logistics space from a single hand to tenants in large parts of Europe.
IMMOFINANZ Group intends to expand its position as a major logistics player not only on the German market, but also in Hungary, Romania and Russia. Plans also call for the further optimisation of the portfolio. The dynamic demand in these countries is driven, among others, by the expansion of online retailing. For example: Deutsche Lagerhaus GmbH u. Co KG (DLG) – a wholly owned subsidiary of IMMOFINANZ Group – reported the rental of its logistics property (8,730 sqm) in Poing (Munich-East region) to the start-up company Zamaro GmbH during this quarter.
Other
The Other segment, which represents 7.2% of the total portfolio, comprises all other business activities of IMMOFINANZ Group that cannot be allocated to one of the three defined asset classes (office, retail, logistics). This segment includes, above all, the residential properties that remained with IMMOFINANZ Group after the BUWOG spinoff, e.g. residential properties for rental in Austria. The apartments in the Gerling Quartier in Germany that are designated for sale and the condominium apartments developed by IMMOFINANZ in Romania (Adama) and Poland are also part of this segment. Another property is the Hotel Leonardo in Vienna, which is designated for sale.
The standing investments in this segment will be sold over the short- to medium-term because they do not belong to the strategic core business of IMMOFINANZ Group.

A like-for-like comparison with the final quarter of 2013/14 shows a slight increase of +1.4% in rental income during the first quarter of 2014/15. This was followed by stable development with EUR 115.0 million in the second quarter versus EUR 115.1 million in the first quarter of 2014/15 (-0.04%). The tense situation in Russia and the ongoing uncertainty led to a decline of EUR -0.5 million, or -1.1%, in adjusted rental income in Russia to EUR 44.3 million. Based on the current point of view, the coming quarters can be expected to bring further declines in like-for-like rental income in Russia. Developments in the other IMMOFINANZ Group core countries are stable to good.

Valuation like-for-like
The external property valuation as of 31 October 2014 led to negative valuation effects of EUR -65.1 million, or -1.1%, for the first half of 2014/15 in a like-for-like analysis compared with the previous year. The major component of these negative valuation effects resulted from a decline in the value of properties in Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic. The causal factors identified by the external appraisers for the Russian market included the general uncertainty over future economic developments, while the decisive factors for Poland and the Czech Republic were related mainly to numerous recently completed projects in the office sector and the subsequent increase in competition as well as reserved economic growth.

Financing
From a financing standpoint, the first half of 2014/15 was a very successful period for IMMOFINANZ Group. All necessary refinancing and extensions for standing investments and development projects were arranged as scheduled in the second quarter. The Group also secured additional liquidity through an increase in existing loans and the conclusion of new loans on previously unencumbered properties.
The EUR 260.0 million equity bridge concluded with several banks shortly after the start of the reporting year was repaid in full during the second quarter from the proceeds received on the exchangeable bond (see below). This equity bridge was used to finance the subscription of the EUR 260.0 million convertible bond issued by BUWOG AG in April 2014.
One of the reporting period highlights was the conclusion of EUR 24.0 million in long-term standing investment financing for the first shopping center in the new VIVO! brand, which is located in Piła, Poland. This shopping center was opened in October 2014 and has roughly 24,000 sqm of selling space; the investment costs totalled approx. EUR 32.0 million.
The maturing standing investment financing for a STOP.SHOP. retail warehouse in Vienna, Austria, was extended and increased based on a long-term agreement. Long-term standing investment financing was also secured for a previously unencumbered logistics property in Dunaharaszti, Hungary.
In order to utilise the current favourable market environment, IMMOFINANZ Group regularly evaluates opportunities for so-called "pre-funding". This form of restructuring represents the refinancing of financial liabilities during their term and before maturity. The financing for two office buildings in Vienna was arranged in this manner during the reporting period with an increase in the volume and a substantial extension of the term.
Project financing was also arranged with a local bank for the Riverpark residential development project in Posen, Poland. This agreement includes an additional VAT tranche, which provides interim financing for the VAT due on construction costs until the refund is received from the tax authorities.
The total volume of refinancing, long-term extensions and cash inflows from new financing in the first half of 2014/15 amounted to approx. EUR 737.3 million. Of this total, EUR 714.8 million were paid out during the reporting period.
IMMOFINANZ Group is – as in previous years – still able to obtain financing for its standing investment portfolio, acquisitions and development projects at favourable conditions. The company benefits from long-standing business relationships with over 70 banks and financial institutions in Austria and other countries. This broad diversification of financing makes IMMOFINANZ Group independent of the actions of individual lending institutions and provides access to a wide variety of financing sources.
Financing bank groups – as of 31 October 2014
The financing concluded by IMMOFINANZ Group is not only widely diversified by source, but also by country origin. IMMOFINANZ Group works directly and selectively with international and, in recent times, increasingly with local financing partners. For example, all properties in Russia are financed exclusively with Russian banks to reduce the refinancing risk associated with the possible market exit of international banks.
The major financial liabilities of IMMOFINANZ Group comprise liabilities from convertible, corporate and exchangeable bonds and amounts due to financial institutions. The weighted average remaining term equalled 4¼ years and the individual positions as of 31 October 2014 are shown in the following table:

¹ Actual remaining debt (nominal amount)
The remaining balance of the major financial liabilities held by IMMOFINANZ Group totalled EUR 4.2 billion as of 31 October 2014. The weighted average financing costs were reduced to a low 3.47% (excluding expenses for derivatives), whereby IMMOFINANZ was clearly able to benefit from the low-interest environment. As of 31 October 2014, 83.56% of the major financial liabilities were denominated in Euros, 16.13% in US Dollars and 0.31% in other currencies (Swiss Francs, Polish Zloty).

3 One certificate from the 2018 convertible bond (nominal value: EUR 4.12) entitles the bondholder to conversion into 1.1573 IMMOFINANZ shares and 0.0606 BUWOG shares. One certificate from the 2017 convertible bond (nominal value: EUR 100,000.–) entitles the bondholder to conversion into 12,547.05 IMMOFINANZ shares and 660.95 BUWOG shares. The exchange price to convert the 2019 exchangeable bond into BUWOG shares equals EUR 16.26.
The terms for the conversion rights and conversion prices of the convertible bonds due in 2017 and 2018 were amended with the spin-off of BUWOG AG from IMMOFINANZ AG on 26 April 2014. Based on the EUR 0.69 dividend per share approved by the Annual General Meeting of BUWOG AG on 14 October 14, 2014, one certificate of the 2018 convertible bond (nominal value: EUR 4.12) currently entitles the bondholder to conversion into 1.1573 IMMOFINANZ shares and 0.0606 BUWOG shares. One certificate of the 2017 convertible bond (nominal value: EUR 100,000.0) currently entitles the bondholder to conversion into 12,547.05 IMMOFINANZ shares and 660.95 BUWOG shares.
If dividends are paid by IMMOFINANZ or BUWOG in the future, the conversion rights to shares in IMMOFINANZ and BUWOG will be adjusted in accordance with the respective bond terms. The following table uses the 2018 convertible bond to explain this adjustment mechanism based on the BUWOG dividend:
| BUWOG | |
|---|---|
| 0.0579 | |

The 2018 convertible bond certificate that was converted by a bondholder during the second quarter of 2014/15 was serviced from treasury shares. As of 31 October 2014, the 2018 convertible bond had an outstanding nominal value of EUR 508.5 million with a put option on 8 March 2016.
The cancellation period for the premature redemption of the 2017 convertible bond ended after the reporting period. As of 19 November 2014 (put date), 137 certificates from the 2017 convertible bond were registered for redemption by the bondholders. The total amount of EUR 13.7 million plus interest was repaid from internal funds. After this redemption, a nominal value of EUR 21.4 million from the 2017 convertible bond is still outstanding. This outstanding nominal value will be repaid on 19 November 2017 (maturity date), unless there are further conversions into IMMOFINANZ shares before that time.
On 11 September 2014, IMMOFINANZ AG issued an exchangeable bond for shares in BUWOG AG. The exchangeable bond (ISIN XS1108672988) has a volume of EUR 375.0 million, a coupon of 1.5% per year and an initial exchange price of EUR 17.03. The dividend of EUR 0.69 per share paid by BUWOG AG led to the adjustment of the exchange price to EUR 16.26 as of 15 October 2014. The liquidity generated by this bond issue is being used to repay existing, more expensive financing (e.g. the equity bridge, see above), for current and planned portfolio investments, opportunistic growth opportunities and general corporate purposes.
Term structure of financial liabilities by financial year as of 31 October 2014
Historical refinancing volumes
Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 408.3 million as of 31 October 201 4. After the balance sheet date a further volume of EUR 252.3 million were refinanced for the 2014/15 financial year.
Derivatives
IMMOFINANZ Group held derivatives with a reference amount of EUR 1,365.6 million as of 31 October 2014 to hedge or cap interest rates. In total, 62.54% of the major financial liabilities are secured against interest rate risk.
| Derivative | Floating leg | Market value incl. accrued interest & DVA _ CVA as of 31 October 2014 in TEUR |
Notional amount in TEUR |
Average (hedged) interest rate in % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cap | 3-M-EURIBOR | 0.0 | 22,920.0 | 2.75% |

A cap defines an upper limit for an interest rate: if the reference rate (e.g. 3-M-EURIBOR) exceeds this limit, IMMOFINANZ Group receives a settlement payment from its contract partner. A premium-neutral interest rate collar represents the combination of a cap and a floor (contractually agreed upper and lower interest limits). This type of derivative involves the establishment of a minimum and maximum interest rate (corridor) at a cost-neutral level. There are no fixed premium payments or additional costs, and the interest rate is hedged at the same time. A swap exchanges floating for fixed interest payments: floating interest rate liabilities that are hedged with a swap can be regarded as fixed interest rate liabilities from an economic standpoint. The market value of the derivatives was determined internally for the first time by discounting the related future cash flows. The interest rates used for discounting are based on interest rate curves for each currency that are observable on the market. In accordance with IFRS 13, the resulting market values are adjusted to include a credit value adjustment (CVA) and a debit value adjustment (DVA).
Including the expenses for derivatives, the weighted average interest rate for the major financial liabilities equalled 3.98%. Excluding the expenses for derivatives, the weighted average interest rate for the major financial liabilities amounted to 3.47%.
Business Development
The results of operations generated by IMMOFINANZ Group were stable in a year-on-year comparison at EUR 169.5 million in the first half of 2014/15 (H1 2013/14: EUR 166.8 million). A slight increase in like-for-like rental income from the final quarter of 2013/14 to the first quarter of 2014/15 (+1.4%) was followed by stable like-for-like development in the second quarter (-0.04% versus Q1 2014/15).
The like-for-like decline in rental income in Russia equalled -1.1% (versus Q1 2014/15), but there was an increase in impairment losses to receivables from previous quarters due to the rising uncertainty. From the current point of view, an increase in impairment losses to Russian receivables in the coming quarters is likely.
In spite of this solid operating performance, net profit for the first half of 2014/15 was negative at EUR -30.2 million (H1 2013/14: EUR 110.3 million resp. EUR 165.0 million incl. 100% BUWOG). This development resulted primarily from the negative effects caused by the foreign exchange-adjusted revaluation of investment properties in the second quarter, which reflected the decline in the value of properties in Eastern Europe and above all in Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic. These foreign exchange-adjusted revaluation results of EUR -75.0 million reduced net profit, but have no effect on cash. Income tax expense was also higher in the second quarter due to the sale of logistics properties in Switzerland. Earnings before tax improved substantially over the first quarter to plus EUR 8.9 million in the second quarter (Q1 2014/15: EUR -18.5 million), but net profit for the second quarter was negative at EUR -16.2 million (Q1 2014/15: EUR -14.0 million).
Sustainable free cash flow (FFO) amounted to EUR 64.3 million for the first half of 2014/15, which represents an annualised FFO yield after tax of 9.8%1 based on market capitalisation. After an FFO of EUR 47.7 million in the first quarter 2014/2015, the FFO totalled EUR 16.7 million in the second quarter 2014/15. This reduction in FFO is explained almost equally by lower property sales in the second quarter, higher income tax payment in Switzerland, and an increase in gross rent receivables in Russia.
Rental income declined to EUR 234.6 million following the sale of properties during the first half of 2014/15 (H1 2013/14: EUR 246.1 million). The results of property sales totalled EUR 5.7 million, compared with EUR 7.2 million in the previous year. The results of property developed improved from EUR -8.2 million to EUR 5.1 million. Consequently, the results of operations increased by 1.6% to EUR 169.5 million (H1 2013/14: EUR 166.8 million).
Developments in detail
Results of asset management
IMMOFINANZ Group recorded rental income of EUR 234.6 million in the first half of 2014/15. This represents a decline of 4.7% compared with the first half of the previous year (EUR 246.1 million) and resulted mainly from the planned sale of properties.
The results of asset management totalled EUR 184.4 million, which represents a year-on-year decline of 11.0%. This development reflected an increase in property expenses that resulted, in particular, from the write-off of Russian receivables. These write-offs amounted to EUR 7.9 million and are attributable, among others, to tenants who were forced to terminate their business activities because of the crisis. The remaining outstanding rent receivables in Russia following write-offs totalled EUR 12.9 million as of 31 October 2014 and are opposed to advance payments of EUR 6.5 million.
Results of property sales
Property sales generated results of EUR 5.7 million in the first half of 2014/15 (H1 2013/14: EUR 7.2 million). The portfolio optimisation included the sale of smaller properties as well as three logistics properties in Switzerland to a Credit Suisse AG real estate fund and the subsequent strategic exit from the Swiss market.
1 Sustainable cash flow (excl. BUWOG): Gross cash flow (EUR 143.9 million) + interest received on financial investments (EUR 2.6 million) – interest paid (EUR 76.0 million) - cash outflows for derivative transactions (EUR 11.9 million) + results of property sales (EUR 5.7 million) based on market capitalisation as of 16 December 2014 (share price: EUR 2.03) excl. treasury shares and market capitalisation of the BUWOG shares held (EUR 756.0 million based on a share price of EUR 15.49 as of 16 December 2014).
Results of property development
The sale of real estate inventories and the valuation of active development projects generated results of EUR 5.1 million in the first half of 2014/15 (H1 2013/14: EUR -8.2 million). In October 2014 IMMOFINANZ Group opened the first shopping center in its new VIVO! brand in the Polish city of Piła. This shopping center has roughly 24,000 sqm of rentable space and had an occupancy rate of 91% on the opening date.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses that are not directly attributable (overhead costs and personnel expenses) were cut from EUR -44.6 million in the first half of the previous year to EUR -29.8 million. This decline resulted from a reduction in legal, auditing and consulting costs, a decline in personnel expenses and lower additions to provisions.
Results of operations, EBIT, EBT and net profit
In spite of lower rental revenues the results of operations slightly increased by 1.6% year-on-year to EUR 169.5 million due to the successful and scheduled sale of properties (H1 2013/14: EUR 166.8 million).
Revaluation results adjusted for foreign exchange effects amounted to EUR -75.0 million (H1 2013/14: EUR -41.6 million), above all due to a decline in the value of properties in Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic. The causal factors identified by the external appraisers for the Russian market included the general uncertainty over future economic developments, while the decisive factors for Poland and the Czech Republic were related mainly to the pricing pressure due to numerous recently completed projects in the office sector and the restrained economic growth.
In contrast, revaluation results resulting from foreign exchange effects were clearly positive at EUR 101.0 million (H1 2013/14: EUR 107.7 million) due to the increase in the Euro versus the Ruble during the reporting period. Other revaluation results equalled EUR 24.9 million (H1 2013/14: EUR 63.4 million). EBIT fell from EUR 230.2 million in the previous year to EUR 194.4 million.
Financial results declined to EUR -204.1 million (H1 2013/14: EUR -80.3 million). This position includes non-cash foreign exchange accounting effects of EUR -104.6 million (H1 2013/14: EUR -7.3 million). These represent mainly USD financial liabilities offset by currency related gains in property values on the one hand and the purely non-cash conversion effects of EUR inter-company loans to Russian subsidiaries on the other (EUR 35.0 million). Other financial results (EUR -23.6 million; H1 2013/14: EUR 6.6 million) were negatively affected, among others by the non-cash valuation of derivatives that are held to hedge interest rate risk. These factors reduced earnings before tax from EUR 149.9 million in the first half of the previous year to EUR -9.7 million.
Net profit for the first half of 2014/15 was negative at EUR -30.2 million (H1 2013/14: EUR 110.3 million resp. EUR 165.0 million incl. 100% BUWOG) due to the negative valuation of properties (EUR -75.0 million).
Cash flow2
Gross cash flow declined from EUR 190.9 million in the first half of the previous year to EUR 143.9 million, above all due to higher income tax payments of EUR 9.4 million on the gain from the sale of Swiss logistics properties, which was included in the previous quarter as required by IFRS. In addition, the increase in gross rent receivables of EUR 17.4 million in Russia and the absence of cash flow from the BUWOG Group had a negative impact on gross cash flow. Cash flow from operating activities declined from EUR 141.4 million to EUR 82.6 million. Cash flow from investing activities was substantially lower at EUR -110.8 million (H1 2013/14: EUR 402.2 million), and cash flow from financing activities improved from EUR -636.4 million to EUR 194.0 million.
Net Asset Value (NAV)
Net asset value is calculated in accordance with the Best Practices Policy Recommendations issued by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA). The EPRA NAV concept is used to present the fair value of equity on a longterm basis to give investors an impression of a company's sustainable asset position. The calculation of EPRA NAV also includes the undisclosed reserves in real estate inventories as well as the (negative) fair value of derivative financial instruments. The former are not included in carrying amounts in accordance with IFRS accounting rules, while the latter regularly serve as a means of hedging long-term financing to prevent the realisation of hypothetical losses if settlement were to take place on the balance sheet date. The deferred taxes on these items are included. In accordance with the EPRA recommendations, the calculation should include the deferred taxes that would be realised on the sale of property. Goodwill, which arises as a technical figure due to the recognition of deferred taxes on business combinations, is deducted.
The results of the calculation are shown below:
| EPRA Net Asset Value (NAV) | 31 October 2014 | 30 April 2014 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| in TEUR | in EUR per share |
in TEUR | in EUR | |
| Equity excl. non-controlling interests | 4,179,557.7 | 4,253,684.1 | ||
| Diluting effects based on convertible bonds and the exercise of options | 0.0 | 0.0 | ||
| Diluted equity excl. non-controlling interests after an adjustment for convertible bonds and the exercise of options |
4,179,557.7 | 4,253,684.1 | ||
| Undisclosed reserves in real estate inventories | 13,140.9 | 10,578.4 | ||
| Fair value of derivative financial instruments | 50,681.4 | 47,518.4 | ||

| Deferred taxes on real estate inventories and derivative financial instruments | -14,296.8 | -12,857.6 | ||
| Goodwill excl. deferred taxes | -208,213.0 | -216,327.4 | ||
| Number of shares excl. treasury shares (in 1,000) | 1,016,122.3 | 1,016,057.4 | ||
| EPRA NAV | 4,550,033.3 | 4.48 | 4,634,486.3 | 4.56 |
Net asset value per share declined to EUR 4.48 as of 31 October 2014 due to the negative results recorded for the first half-year (30 April 2014: EUR 4.56).
Book value per share
The book value per share is calculated by dividing equity before non-controlling interests by the number of shares.
The calculation is as follows:
| Book value per share | 31 October 2014 | 30 April 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Equity before non-controlling interests in TEUR | 4,179,557.7 | 4,253,684.1 |
| Number of shares excl. treasury shares (in 1,000) | 1,016,122.3 | 1,016,057.4 |
| Book value per share | 4.11 | 4.19 |
Outlook
IMMOFINANZ Group expects continued positive development or steady economic recovery in the region's core markets, in spite of the subdued growth that has resulted from the geopolitical risks like the crisis in Ukraine and the tensions in the Near East. The exception in this region is Russia, which is now projected to fall into a recession in 2015. The Russian economy is facing a number of challenges caused by the steady and strong decline in the Ruble, the low oil price and the growing consumer uncertainty. However, the unusually low oil price could drive growth in 2015 for the countries that benefit from lower-priced imports of this raw material. The effects of the crisis in Ukraine on the commercial development of the IMMOFINANZ target markets, above all Russia, cannot be estimated at the present time.
The tenants in IMMOFINANZ Group's Moscow shopping centers are confronted with a variety of problems, above all from the sharp drop in the Ruble. That means an increase in costs because in general the lease agreements are fixed in US Dollars or Euros. In order to support these long-term partnerships, discussions have been held with numerous retailers in recent months and temporary reductions in lease payments have been offered on a case by case basis. IMMOFINANZ also intends to continue this temporary payment reduction policy since the Ruble has fallen further in the past months. The current situation indicates that like-for-like rental income in Russia will decline in the coming quarters. Based on the above-mentioned developments after the balance sheet date, further write-downs and/or write-offs to the outstanding receivables in the third quarter of 2014/15 have to be expected.
The continued deterioration of the situation in Russia would presumably also have negative consequences for the foreign exchange-adjusted revaluation of our Russian assets.
Following the spin-off of the majority holding and the successful listing of the former residential property subsidiary BUWOG at the end of the 2013/14 financial year, IMMOFINANZ Group holds an equity stake of 49% in BUWOG, which it intends to sell over the medium-term – but at least at the book value per share and with a minimal impact on the market. BUWOG has received a significantly higher valuation from investors than it did under the IMMOFINANZ umbrella. The discount between the price of the BUWOG share and the net asset value (NAV) has declined substantially since
the initial listing. This discount, which was implicitly roughly 36% before the spin-off based on the IMMOFINANZ share price, has since been reduced significantly. The BUWOG share was initially listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at EUR 13.00 and in the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange at EUR 13.20. The price of the BUWOG share has risen further since that time to an annual high to date of EUR 15.93 (Vienna Stock Exchange).
In addition to the 49% equity stake, IMMOFINANZ also invested in a EUR 260.0 million 3.5% convertible bond issued by BUWOG. BUWOG is entitled to call this bond in full up to 27 December 2014 and to repay the nominal value at 101%. The BUWOG management has announced that this call option will be exercised, which will result in cash inflows (excluding interest) of more than EUR 262.6 million for IMMOFINANZ Group.
IMMOFINANZ Group will use the liquidity from the sale of the BUWOG shares and the BUWOG convertible bond to repay existing, more expensive financing, for current and planned portfolio investments, opportunistic growth opportunities and general corporate purposes.
The payment of a cash dividend for the current financial year 2014/15 depends on the attainment of a distributable balance sheet profit of IMMOFINANZ AG. In light of current and further developments in Russia, the Executive Board does not provide a concrete Guidance on the size of a potential dividend. The strong drop in the price of IMMOFINANZ shares due to the crisis in Russia and the related high discount to Net Asset Value provide an attractive opportunity to buy back our own shares. As a result, we plan on starting a new share buyback programme shortly.

Notes
1. Basis of Preparation
The consolidated interim financial statements of IMMOFINANZ Group as of 31 October 2014 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which were adopted by the EU and are applicable to interim reporting.
The condensed scope of reporting in the consolidated interim financial statements of IMMOFINANZ Group is in agreement with IAS 34. Information on the IFRSs and significant accounting policies applied by IMMOFINANZ AG is provided in the consolidated financial statements of IMMOFINANZ Group as of 30 April 2014.
These consolidated interim financial statements of IMMOFINANZ Group were not subjected to a full audit or review by the auditor, Deloitte Audit Wirtschaftsprüfungs GmbH.
The interim financial statements are presented in thousand EURO ("TEUR", rounded). The use of automatic data processing equipment can lead to rounding differences in the addition of rounded amounts or percentage rates.
1.1 First-time application of standards and interpretations
First-time application
With the exception of the initial application of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11, the revised or changed standards and interpretations had no significant effects on the consolidated interim financial statements of IMMOFINANZ Group. The additional disclosures required by IFRS 12 will only apply in full to the consolidated financial statements as of 30 April 2015.
The following new or revised standards and interpretations were applied for the first time in the 2014/15 financial year:

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements"
IFRS 10 was applied for the first time as of 1 May 2014. This standard replaces the accounting regulations for consolidated financial statements in IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" and SIC-12 "Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities". IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements" now only regulates the accounting treatment of (investments in) subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in separate financial statements under IFRS. IFRS 10 provides a new definition of control that applies to all companies, including special purpose entities. In accordance with IFRS 10, control is considered to exist when the parent company is entitled to receive or is exposed to the risk of variable returns from its investment in a company and has the ability to affect these returns. Furthermore, IFRS 10 provides specific information on how to apply the control principle through the acknowledgment or evaluation of potential voting rights, joint decision-making powers or protective rights of third parties as well as constellations that are characterised by delegated or retained decision-making rights or de facto control. The assessment of control will require a more comprehensive assessment (i.e. requiring greater discretion) to determine the parent company's influence over the investee.
The management of IMMOFINANZ Group reassessed the scope of consolidation as of 1 May 2014 in connection with the initial application of IFRS 10 and the new definition of control. In agreement with the transition guidance for IFRS 10, this assessment led to the following changes retrospective to 1 May 2013:
-
eight Turkish companies previously included through proportionate consolidation are now included through full consolidation;
-
five Austrian and one Polish company previously included through full consolidation are now accounted for at equity; and
-
five Austrian companies are no longer consolidated.
The comparative data for the first half of 2013/14 and the consolidated balance sheet as of 1 May 2013 were adjusted in agreement with the applicable transition guidance.
IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements"
IFRS 11 was applied for the first time as of 1 May 2014. This standard replaces the accounting rules for joint ventures, joint operations and jointly managed assets in IAS 31 "Interests in Joint Ventures" and SIC 13 "Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers". IAS 28 was therefore renamed. IFRS 11 eliminates proportionate consolidation as an optional method for recognising investments in joint ventures; these investments must be accounted for at equity beginning with the current financial year. The difference between joint ventures and joint operations was also defined more precisely; the latter now also includes jointly managed assets. If the partner companies to a joint arrangement have direct rights to the assets of the joint arrangement or obligations arising from its liabilities based on the legal form, contract terms or other facts and circumstances, the joint arrangement is no longer classified as a joint venture but as a joint operation. Under a joint operation, the partner companies must recognise their proportional share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses in their IFRS consolidated financial statements.
The management of IMMOFINANZ Group reassessed the Group's joint arrangements as of 1 May 2014 in connection with the initial application of IFRS 11. In agreement with the transition guidance for IFRS 11, this assessment led to the retrospective change from proportionate consolidation to the equity method for 44 companies as of 1 May 2013.
The comparative data for the first half of 2013/14 and the consolidated balance sheet as of 1 May 2013 were adjusted in agreement with the applicable transition guidance. The carrying amount of the investments previously included through proportionate consolidation and subsequently accounted for at equity as of 1 May 2013 represents the aggregated carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities included by IMMOFINANZ Group through proportionate consolidation in the past. A negative carrying amount resulted in the reduction of receivables whose economic substance would lead to their classification as a net investment in the respective company under IAS 28 or to an appropriate retained earnings adjustment if these types of receivables or legal or actual obligations were not available to cover the loss. The new carrying amounts were tested for impairment as of 1 May 2013, which led to the recognition of impairment losses totalling EUR 0.8 million. These impairment losses were recognised through an adjustment of retained earnings in agreement with the respective transition guidance.
The following table shows the carrying amounts of the equity-accounted investments, previously included through proportionate consolidation, as of 1 May 2013:
| All amounts in TEUR | 1 May 2013 |
|---|---|
| Investment property | 303,628.5 |
| Other assets | 139,611.8 |
| Non-current and current liabilities (incl. liabilities previously included through proportionate consolidation) | -437,787.7 |
| Proportional share of net assets | 5,452.5 |
| Cumulative offset against receivables classified as net investments in acc. with IAS 28 | 47,576.3 |
| Adjustment of retained earnings in acc. with IFRS 11 | 6,004.4 |
| Impairment | -848.8 |
| Equity-accounted investments, previously included through proportionate consolidation | 58,184.4 |
1.2 Change in comparative information
The following transition table shows the effects on the comparative information in the consolidated income statement for first half of 2013/14 arising from
-
the initial application of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11,
-
discontinued operations (the spin-off of the BUWOG operating segment in the fourth quarter of 2013/14) and
-
the change in presentation of individual positions on the consolidated income statement in the previous financial year.

The position "vacancies" covers the operating costs for vacant properties that must be borne by IMMOFINANZ Group as the owner.

Financing revenue and financing costs are related primarily to financial instruments that are not carried at fair value.
The foreign exchange differences resulted chiefly from the valuation of loans in USD and Group financing for the Russian subsidiaries in EUR.
Profit/loss on other financial instruments and proceeds on the disposal of financial instruments include EUR -4.2 million (first half of 2013/14: EUR 15.4 million) from the valuation of derivatives. This position also includes impairment losses of EUR 7.9 million (first half of 2013/14: EUR 0.0 million) recognised to real estate funds categorised as "available for sale", whereby EUR 3.9 million were reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss.
The valuation of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss comprises revaluation gains of EUR 12.8 million (first half of 2013/14: EUR 7.1 million) and revaluation losses of EUR 21.7 million (first half of 2013/14: EUR 7.0 million).
Information on the share of profit/loss received from equity-accounted investments is provided in section 5.3 Equity-accounted investments.

The share of profit/loss from the equity-accounted investments includes gains of TEUR 21.4, which resulted primarily from the sale of three US investments that were classified as non-current assets held for sale as of 30 April 2014.
The investments previously included through proportional consolidation and now accounted for at equity were included on the basis of interim financial statements prepared as of IMMOFINANZ Group's balance sheet date.
The investment in the BUWOG Group is accounted for at equity and carried at the proportional share of earnings from IFRS consolidated (interim) financial statements whose balance sheet date is not more than three months before the balance sheet date of IMMOFINANZ AG. Any significant events or transactions between this date and the balance sheet date of IMMOFINANZ Group are reflected in appropriate adjustments. Therefore, differences can arise between the proportional share of earnings for the period and the shares of profit/loss from equity-accounted investments – above all in the carryforward of fair value adjustments recognised in connection with the acquisition of the investment and adjustments from the inclusion of events and transactions between the balance sheet date of the last IFRS consolidated (interim) financial statements for the investee and the balance sheet date of IMMOFINANZ Group. In the first half of 2014/15, the proportional share of profit/loss from the BUWOG Group for the first quarter of 2014/15 was therefore adjusted to reflect carryforwards of fair value adjustments from the purchase price allocation. The purchase price allocation for the 49% investment in the BUWOG Group was completed, but is still considered preliminary. Adjustments led to an additional negative difference from the initial recognition of EUR 16.4 million, which was recognised in profit/loss.

5.6 Non-current assets held for sale
As of 30 April 2014 six properties (four logistics properties and two properties from the asset class "other") with a carrying amount totalling EUR 96.2 million were classified as non-current assets held for sale. In line with its "real estate machine" strategy, IMMOFINANZ Group planned to sell these properties in the form of asset deals. Moreover, one equity-accounted investment (carrying amount: EUR 14.4 million) was classified as a non-current asset held for sale; this investment includes a property allocated to the asset class "other".
With regard to the non-current assets classified as held for sale as of 30 April 2014, three share deals and one asset deal were closed during the first quarter of 2014/15. These sales were related primarily to the "other non-core countries" and "Czech Republic" segments.
Five properties from the asset classes "logistics" and "other" were sold in the form of asset deals during the second quarter of 2014/15. Another closing was completed through a share deal and involved an equity-accounted investment that included a property in the "other" asset class.
These sales completed IMMOFINANZ Group's strategic exit from the Swiss market and, for the most part, also from the US market.
As a result of the closings that took place during the first half of 2014/15, no properties were classified as non-current assets held for sale as of 31 October 2014.

On 11 September 2014, IMMOFINANZ AG issued an exchangeable bond for BUWOG shares (XS1108672988). The exchangeable bond is carried at fair value through profit or loss. However, there was no price formation on an active market as of 31 October 2014. The exchangeable bond has a volume of EUR 375.0 million, a coupon of 1.5% and is backed by approx. 23.1 million BUWOG shares. IMMOFINANZ AG is entitled to deliver BUWOG shares or a cash settlement in the event of exchange. The exchangeable bond was issued and will be redeemed at 100% of the nominal value. The bond's term will end on 11 September 2019 with a put option for bondholders on 11 September 2017. The original exchange price of EUR 17.03 was adjusted to EUR 16.26 to reflect the EUR 0.69 dividend per share approved by BUWOG AG on 14 October 2014.
In connection with the exchangeable bond for BUWOG shares, securities lending agreements for up to 12,000,000 BUWOG shares were concluded with BNP Paribas, J.P. Morgan und Morgan Stanley – which served as joint bookrunners on the issue of the exchangeable bond. A total of 3,304,410 BUWOG shares had been loaned as of 31 October 2014. This securitised lending did not lead to the derecognition of the related component of the equityaccounted investment in the BUWOG Group. The loaned BUWOG shares represented a proportional share of EUR 55.9 million of the carrying amount of this investment as of 31 October 2014.

6.1 Classes and categories of financial instruments
The following table shows the carrying amount and fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities defined by the company and for each IAS 39 category, and reconciles these amounts to the appropriate balance sheet line items. Since the balance sheet positions trade and other receivables and trade and other payables can contain financial instruments as well as non-financial assets/liabilities (e.g. tax receivables), the column "Non- FI" allows for a full reconciliation with the balance sheet line items.

Valuation procedures and input factors used to determine the fair value of financial instruments
IMMOFINANZ Group calculates the fair value of derivatives by discounting the future cash flows based on a net present value method. The interest rates used to discount the future cash flows are based on an interest curve that is observable on the market. The following three parameters are required to calculate the credit value adjustment (CVA) and the debt value adjustment (DVA): the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). The probability of default is derived from the credit default swap (CDS) spreads of the respective counterparty. Derivatives with a positive fair value represent receivables for IMMOFINANZ Group; in these cases, a CVA calculation is used to calculate the amount of the receivable. One parameter for this calculation is the probability of default for the counterparties. IMMOFINANZ Group concludes contracts with over 70 financial institutions, and observable CDS spreads are available on the market for many of them. In exceptional cases, average branch benchmarks are used as a substitute for unavailable spreads. These benchmarks represent Level 1 and 2 input factors on the fair value measurement hierarchy. Derivatives with a negative fair value represent liabilities for IMMOFINANZ Group; in these cases, a DVA calculation is used to calculate the amount of the liability and IMMOFINANZ Group's own probability of default must be determined. IMMOFINANZ Group generally concludes derivatives at the level of the property company that manages a particular property. Neither observable market CDS spreads, nor benchmarks are available for these property companies. CDS spreads are therefore used to estimate credit margins which, in turn, form the basis for deriving the probability of default. The credit margin for IMMOFINANZ Group is determined in a two-step procedure. The first step involves the calculation of an average margin based on previously concluded credit agreements and term sheets, whereby the time horizon for the applied margins equals 12 months. The second step involves obtaining indicative credit margin offers from banks and averaging these values with the margins from the credit agreements and term sheets. These offers are grouped by country and asset class. The individual property companies that have concluded financial instruments are assigned to a group based on country and asset class. The plausibility of the calculated credit margins is also verified by comparison with external market reports. This procedure results in market-conform credit margins that can be used as estimates for valuing the company's own credit risk. These input factors represent Level3 on the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. The loss given default (LGD) is the relative value that would be lost on default. IMMOFINANZ Group used an ordinary market LGD to calculate the CVA and DVA. The exposure at default (EAD) represents the expected amount of the asset or liability at the time of default. The calculation of the EAD is based on a Monte Carlo simulation.
For net present value methods, an increase in the discount rate, exit yield or credit spread leads to a reduction in fair value. In contrast, fair value is increased by a reduction in these input factors.
The valuation of shares in property funds includes assumptions for rental prices and vacancy rates. An expected increase in rental prices leads to an increase in fair value, while an expected reduction leads to a decrease in fair value. An increase in the vacancy rate leads to a reduction in fair value, while a decrease in the vacancy rate leads to a higher fair value.
For the valuation of derivatives, the estimation of the default risk includes assumptions for the probability of default, loss rate and the outstanding amount at the time of expected default. An increase in the probability of default and the loss rate will reduce the fair value of a derivative with a positive outstanding amount (receivable) and reduce the liability for a derivative with a negative outstanding amount (liability). A decrease in the probability of default and the loss rate leads to the opposite effect.
The option pricing models, amongst others, include the share price volatility as an input factor. An increase in the share price volatility leads to an increase in the fair value of the financial instrument, while a decrease in share price volatility leads to a reduction in fair value.
7. Transactions with Related Parties
Business transactions with equity-accounted interests led to the following amounts in the consolidated interim financial statements of IMMOFINANZ Group for the first half of 2014/15:
| All amounts in TEUR | 31 October 2014 | 30 April 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Receivables | 178,601.2 | 194,280.2 |

BUWOG AG issued a convertible bond on 25 April 2014. This bond has a volume of EUR 260.0 million and a nominal interest rate of 3.5% and will mature in 2019. This convertible bond was subscribed in full by IMMOFINANZ AG. The issue proceeds were used by the BUWOG Group to purchase a residential property portfolio with roughly 18,000 units and approx. 1.09 million sqm of rentable space in Northern Germany. The transfer of the issue proceeds by IMMOFINANZ Group was postponed by agreement until the closing of the DGAG portfolio transaction. The funds were transferred to BUWOG AG on 6 June 2014 and the acquisition closed on 30 June 2014.
There were no reportable transactions between IMMOFINANZ Group and related persons during the first half of 2014/15.
8. Events after the Balance Sheet Date
Starting November, the Russian Ruble devalued significantly versus the US Dollar and the Euro due to, above all, the sanctions imposed by the EU and USA against Russia and the decline in the oil price – with corresponding effects on Russian earnings being translated at the average exchange rate, on the revaluation of the Russian investment properties, on exchange rate changes included in financial results and on the differences from foreign currency translation that are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Rental income from the Russian shopping centers is generally fixed in Euros and/or US Dollars. However, the devaluation of the Russian Ruble is leading to increased pressure on tenants. Short-term agreements were therefore concluded with individual tenants, above all in the Golden Babylon Rostokino und GOODZONE shopping centers, after the 31 October 2014 to help them offset the additional rental costs resulting from foreign exchange effects and, in this way, support their continued economic viability. Impairment testing of the outstanding rents receivable is expected to result in the recognition of further impairment losses to and write-offs of receivables during the third quarter of 2014/15 based on the above-mentioned developments.
The cancellation period for the premature redemption of the 2017 convertible bond ended on 19 November 2014. A total of 137 certificates from this bond were registered for redemption by the bondholders. The total amount of EUR 13.7 million plus interest was repaid from internal funds. After this redemption, a nominal value of EUR 21.4 million from the 2017 convertible bond is still outstanding. This outstanding nominal value will be repaid on 19 November 2017 (maturity date), unless there are further conversions into IMMOFINANZ shares before that time.
Effective 20 November 2014, the Cluster Produktionstechnik development project on the campus of RWTH University (Rheinisch-Westfälische-Technische Hochschule) in Aachen was acquired. IMMOFINANZ plans to complete this building with 28,000 sqm of rentable space by autumn 2016.
