for our German and international investors in real estate investments throughout Europe.
Our results last year clearly emphasise the strong performance of our pan-European network of experts when it comes to identifying and successfully carrying out attractive real estate investments in all types of use and risk classes for institutional and " private investors in the various European markets.
WOLFGANG EGGER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO)
Our investor base is constantly growing in the context of our company's internationalisation and as a result of the expansion of our offering of various types of investments. We work in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and internationally to allow investors throughout the world to access the European real estate market. Our array of offices worldwide play a key role, as they support and expand our broad, diversified network of investors.
Additional information about our acquisitions and strategic direction can be found on page 8.
In 2017, PATRIZIA's business model – investing in attractive properties and property portfolios in Europe for global institutional and private investors – again proved to be characterised by stability, growth and profitability for our investors, and for PATRIZIA. With operating income of EUR 82.2m, we improved our adjusted result for the previous year by 14%. During this time, we organically grew the assets under management entrusted to us by EUR 2.2bn, in particular as a result of new and attractive property products for our investors. We also professionally and successfully carried out property transactions throughout Europe with a total value of EUR 6.0bn for our investors in the past financial year.
Furthermore, with the announcement of three key strategic acquisitions in three European countries, we substantially strengthened PATRIZIA's business model and significantly expanded the product and investment opportunities for our institutional and private investors. These acquisitions are therefore crucial steps on our path to becoming the leading global provider of European real estate assets.
Above all, our investors will be the ones to benefit from the forward-looking strategic acquisitions. The acquisitions expand product diversity for our institutional and private investors, improve access to the European property market through the substantially stronger European platform and increase our assets under management significantly to a pro forma amount of EUR 38.7bn, an increase of more than double as against the end of 2016.
However, we do not see growth as an end in itself. Rather, the value added for our investors – institutional and private investors – is the driving factor in making our business model and the company even more stable and viable moving forward for you as our shareholders and all stakeholders.
The fact that we announced three acquisitions at short intervals was the result of a strategic and long-term process of familiarisation and negotiation, at the end of which it was clear, particularly to the owner-managed target companies, that PATRIZIA – with its strong European locations, long-standing investor confidence and its proven and successful strategy – is the right partner for the future of the respective company, its investors and its employees.
PATRIZIA has already successfully acquired and integrated companies in the past, advancing their product and service ranges. Examples of this include the integration of LB Immo Invest in 2010, then one of the biggest German providers of institutional property funds, and in 2012 the purchase of the Tamar Capital Group, a property and asset manager based in London with properties throughout Europe and employees in London, Dublin, Paris and Berlin.
The acquisition of the three companies now means a substantial improvement in PATRIZIA's market positioning, the further internationalisation of our business and a significant increase in stable and sustainable income from the management of our properties. In summary, this was a crucial step in PATRIZIA's ongoing evolution into the leading global provider of European real estate assets over the next few years.

information on our acquisitions can be found on the page following the preamble PAGE 8
Since being founded in 2005, Sparinvest Property Investors, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, has become a leading provider of property funds of funds with an investment focus on Europe, Asia and the Americas. It currently manages equity amounting to EUR 1.1bn in four different funds. The acquisition adds fund of funds products to PATRIZIA's range and significantly boosts its market position with Danish investors.
TRIUVA is one of the leading providers of property investments in Europe, with around 40 funds, more than 80 institutional investors and approximately 200 employees at 15 locations in Europe. The company, based in Frankfurt, focuses on commercial properties in the office, retail, logistics and infrastructure sectors. TRIUVA manages property assets of currently around EUR 9.8bn. The acquisition not only enhances and expands PATRIZIA's European network, but also enables institutional and private investors to invest even more diversely in different countries, types of use and risk classes.
The London based investment manager Rockspring now has more than 120 institutional investors in 20 countries. As an expert in fund management, the company manages property investments amounting to EUR 7.0bn predominantly in the office and retail sectors with its 110 employees at seven European locations. Rockspring offers PATRIZIA a complementary investor structure. For instance, 31% of its institutional investors are from the UK, 27% from the Asia-Pacific region, 5% from North America and the remaining 37% from continental Europe.
In addition to these acquisitions, we also enjoyed key operational successes in the 2017 financial year. These include, for example, our relatively new business area for mutual funds. After starting the business in 2016, six funds with an investment volume of EUR 400m have already been successfully launched for more than 3,000 private investors in the first two years of operations. At the same time, we are one of the first providers to offer private investors and sales partners new opportunities in the context of digitisation – it has been possible to buy fund units online as well since January 2017.
For our institutional investors, we once again structured attractive products in all property asset classes, carried out successful property acquisitions and generated value added through sales. These transactions extended from residential, office, retail and hotel properties to logistics properties, student accommodation and care facilities. In many of these purchases, our strong pan-European network allowed us to secure attractive terms for our investors in off-market transactions – i.e. buying properties by approaching potential business partners directly, outside of bidding processes.
We have entered the 2018 financial year with a spirit of optimism, and again expect to successfully exploit market opportunities for our institutional and private investors in the form of attractive property fund products. We therefore expect to increase our operating income to between EUR 85m and EUR 100m in 2018, including the earnings contributions from our acquisitions.
Among other things, what sets a successful investment manager apart is years of experience in local markets and asset classes, professional processes and, in particular, attractive products that consistently outperform the market average. This is how an investment management company earns the enduring trust of its investors. All this is made possible only thanks to dedicated employees who are passionate about creating value added for the company and its stakeholders every day on behalf of our investors and shareholders.
We would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank our employees for PATRIZIA's ongoing success in 2017, and at the same time we welcome our new colleagues under the PATRIZIA name.
And we thank you, our shareholders and business partners, for your loyalty to and interest in PATRIZIA – we are delighted to be continuing PATRIZIA's journey with you.

As an investor, service provider and partner, we offer our investors attractive investment products for their global investment strategies. Their trust in our service inspires us to keep on enhancing PATRIZIA's positioning as a global provider of real estate investments in Europe.
We achieved this once again last year: with the announcement of our acquisition of Rockspring Property Investment Managers LLP (Rockspring), TRIUVA Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH (TRIUVA) and the global fund of funds provider Sparinvest Property Investors (SPI) in the fourth quarter of 2017, PATRIZIA's assets under management more than doubled to EUR 38.7bn.
As a result of these three strategic acquisitions, real estate investors gain access to the stronger and more multifaceted PATRIZIA investment platform, established fund brands and an even wider range of products. For instance, for the first time ever, we now offer funds of funds and the resultant opportunity to invest in markets outside Europe. With these and other products, institutional and private investors can benefit from the growth of particularly promising real estate segments.
Sparinvest was established in Copenhagen in 2005, and is one of the world's leading and most experienced investment managers for funds of funds in the real estate sector.
Frankfurt/Main-based TRIUVA is a renowned provider and manager of structured real estate products for institutional investors. The company's name is synonymous with the values of partnership, innovation and performance.
London-based investment manager Rockspring is a true global player. Out of seven international locations, investors around the world are taken care of.

PATRIZIA is an acknowledged expert in European real estate. In the course of our acquisitions in the past year, we gained substantial expertise, boosting our extensive 30-plus years of knowledge even more – achieving further added value for our investors.
With the acquisition of Rockspring, we will be opening up new investment prospects throughout Europe for our investors in future, primarily in the office and retail asset classes.
Investors also stand to benefit from the accumulated experience of TRIUVA, especially in commercial properties in the office, retail and logistics sectors as well as in the infrastructure field.
PATRIZIA's expertise is particularly boosted by the substantial experience and global positioning of Sparinvest. Acquiring this international investment manager for funds of funds in the real estate sector enables us to offer our investors new product lines in this sector and tap into additional markets in the future.
With these three new companies, we have strengthened our expertise in various asset classes and internationalised our business model for the long term.
1 Pro-forma at the time of announcement of the acquisition
GROUND-BREAKING TRANSACTIONS
We provide our investors with attractive products for optimum value creation. That is why we are continuously expanding our range of products in terms of asset classes, risk profiles and markets.
For instance, in 2017 we acquired one of the largest portfolios of recent years in the retail sector with a total of 85 properties. These are primarily retail centres, supermarkets and discounters that are let to well-known retail brands – and are highly attractive to investors on account of their future value-added potential.
Along with numerous other sought-after office, hotel and logistics portfolios, we have also launched two more closed-end private investor funds. These mark the start of the long-term "Housing Europe" series, respond to the major trend of urbanisation and allow private investors to participate in the dynamic growth of European cities with manageable investment amounts.

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen
2017 was an important year for PATRIZIA Immobilien AG. Once again, PATRIZIA generated strong organic growth. The acquisitions also enabled the Company to make significant progress towards its strategic goal of becoming the leading global provider for real estate investments in Europe.
In the 2017 financial year, the Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG carefully performed all of the tasks assigned to it by law, by the Articles of Association and by its rules of procedure. We regularly advised the Managing Board in its management of the Company and monitored its activities. We were also involved in all decisions of material importance to the Company at an early stage. The Managing Board complied fully with its reporting obligations in accordance with the law and its rules of procedure and informed us regularly in written and oral reports about all fundamental aspects of the business development of the Company and the Group. We were also informed extensively about the current opportunities and risks of the earnings and liquidity situation. The Managing Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG provided a detailed discussion and explanation of the Company's business plan and any deviations between this plan and the actual course of business.
The Supervisory Board held four ordinary meetings and two extraordinary meetings in the year under review. The Supervisory Board met without the attendance of the Managing Board where required. Every member of the Supervisory Board attended all the meetings. There was also a regular exchange of information between the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board, represented by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board outside of the scheduled meetings. Where the Supervisory Board was required to approve individual measures in accordance with the law, the Articles of Association or its rules of procedure, we made our decisions on the basis of comprehensive reports and resolution proposals by the Managing Board. Urgent resolutions were adopted by the Supervisory Board by written circulation where required. As the Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG comprises three members, it did not form any committees. To enable efficient work and an in-depth exchange of information, the Supervisory Board considers it appropriate to base the size of the Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG on the statutory minimum number of members.
The first ordinary meeting of the Supervisory Board on 13 March 2017 included the approval of the annual accounts for the 2016 financial year. In addition to its examination of the annual financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG for the 2016 financial year, the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report of the Company and the Group, the Supervisory Board approved the dependent company report prepared by the Company for the 2016 financial year following its own review. As at every Supervisory Board meeting, the report from the operational divisions was also a central topic at this meeting. Furthermore, we adopted the allocation of responsibilities for the Managing Board members and their targets for the 2017 financial year and approved the planned external financing in the form of the issue of a bonded loan with a volume of at least EUR 200m in order to increase the Company's financial flexibility.
As part of the Company's international expansion, the Supervisory Board unanimously resolved to expand the Managing Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG and to appoint Ms Anne Kavanagh as Chief Investment Officer (CIO) in a resolution passed by written circulation on 15 April 2017. Since April 2017, Ms Kavanagh has been responsible for all the Group's investment and portfolio management activities working from Augsburg and London.
SUPERVISORY BOARD f.l.t.r.: Alfred Hoschek, Dr Theodor Seitz, Uwe H. Reuter
The second ordinary meeting of the Supervisory Board on 9 May 2017 discussed current developments in the operational divisions, potential M&A transactions, and the completion of the Leading ¹ project and its economic impact. Resolutions were also passed on the adjustment of the allocation of responsibilities for the Managing Board members and external financing in the form of the issue of a bonded loan with a maximum volume of EUR 300m.
The Supervisory Board held its third ordinary meeting following the Annual General Meeting on 22 June 2017. The Annual General Meeting re-elected Dr Theodor Seitz and Mr Alfred Hoschek as members of the Supervisory Board, and in addition elected Mr Uwe H. Reuter as member of the Supervisory Board. All three members were elected for two years. At the constituent meeting, Dr Theodor Seitz was re-elected as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. In addition to the report from the operational divisions, the Supervisory Board was briefed on the current status of the compliance project, including the implementation of an international compliance policy and a compliance management system.
An extraordinary meeting of the Supervisory Board was held by conference call on 8 August 2017 to discuss the utilisation of the authorisation to acquire treasury shares. At this meeting, the Supervisory Board approved the circulation of a voluntary public share buy-back offer to the shareholders for the acquisition of 2,298,850 treasury shares (target number of shares). Following the expiry of this buy-back offer, the Managing Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, resolved the implementation of a share buy-back programme with a volume of up to EUR 15m via the stock exchange on 13 September 2017. The shares acquired may be used for all the purposes approved by the Annual General Meeting on 25 June 2015, and in particular as (partial) consideration for company

mergers or to acquire companies, equity interests in companies or parts of companies. On 25 September 2017, the Managing Board informed the Supervisory Board of the planned acquisition of the global fund of funds provider Sparinvest Property Investors (SPI). Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, SPI is one of the world's leading investment managers for real estate funds of funds in the small and mid-cap segment and has since been renamed PATRIZIA Multi Managers. The transaction was closed on 12 October 2017.
At an extraordinary Supervisory Board meeting on 7 November 2017, the Supervisory Board approved the resolution by the Managing Board on the acquisition of up to 94% of the shares in TRIUVA Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH. TRIUVA is one of the leading providers of real estate investments in Europe, with around 40 funds, more than 80 institutional investors and around 200 employees at 15 locations in Europe. At the date on which the acquisition was announced, the Frankfurt-based company managed commercial properties in the office, retail, logistics and infrastructure sectors with total assets of around EUR 9.8bn. The Supervisory Board also approved the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Rockspring Property Investment Managers LLP. Rockspring is a London-based fund management expert with 110 employees at seven locations in Europe. It currently manages real estate assets of around EUR 7.0bn, primarily in the office and retail sectors. The company services more than 120 institutional investors from 20 countries and offers PATRIZIA a complementary investor structure, among other things. With these acquisitions, PATRIZIA is extending its own product range to encompass new markets, asset classes and risk profiles, thereby increasing its real estate assets under management to around EUR 39bn and strengthening its position as one of the leading independent real estate investment managers in Europe.
At the final ordinary meeting of the financial year on 18 December 2017, the Supervisory Board examined the annual budget for 2018 in detail and adopted it unanimously. The Managing Board also discussed the corporate strategy of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG and provided a comprehensive update on the company acquisitions and integration planning for Sparinvest Property Investors and TRIUVA Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH. Furthermore, the Managing Board informed the Supervisory Board about the current status of the planned acquisition of Rockspring Property Investment Managers LLP.
Following the Annual General Meeting on 22 June 2017, which approved a 10% increase in the share capital from company funds for the purpose of issuing "bonus shares", the Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG resolved a corresponding amendment to the wording of Article 4 (1), (2) and (4) of the Articles of Association in accordance with Article 16 of the Articles of Association.
The Managing Board and Supervisory Board prepared a corporate governance report that is published along with the corporate governance statement on the PATRIZIA website at www.patrizia.ag/en/shareholders/corporategovernance/our-basic-principles/. On 18 December 2017, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board adopted the declaration of conformity in accordance with Section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The Company complies with the recommendations and suggestions of the German Corporate Governance Code with a small number of exceptions. The current declaration of conformity and all previous declarations are also permanently available on the PATRIZIA website. My colleagues on the Supervisory Board and I also examined the efficiency of our work and discussed the results. The efficiency of the cooperation between the members of the Supervisory Board and with the Managing Board was again deemed to be extremely good.
There were changes in the composition of the Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG in the period under review. On 22 June 2017 the Annual General Meeting re-elected Dr Theodor Seitz and Mr Alfred Hoschek as members of the Supervisory Board, and in addition elected Mr Uwe H. Reuter as member of the Supervisory Board. At the subsequent constitutive meeting of the Supervisory Board, the members of the Supervisory Board unanimously elected Dr Theodor Seitz as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Mr Alfred Hoschek and Mr Uwe H. Reuter were unanimously elected as Deputy Chairmen of the Supervisory Board.
The annual financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG prepared in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB), the IFRS consolidated financial statements and the combined management report of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG and the Group for the 2017 financial year were audited by Deloitte&Touche GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich, together with the books and records and were issued with an unqualified audit opinion in each case. The members of the Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG received the aforementioned documents and the audit reports by Deloitte&Touche GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft in good time. At the meeting to approve the annual accounts on 13 March 2018, the Managing Board and the responsible auditors discussed the results of the audit and provided additional information. Deloitte&Touche also stated that the Managing Board has established a suitable system for the early identification of risks.
The Supervisory Board conducted its own detailed examination of the annual financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, the consolidated financial statements, the combined management report of the Company and the Group for the 2017 financial year and the Managing Board's proposal for the appropriation of net retained profits and did not raise any objections. The Supervisory Board has subscribed to the profit appropriation proposal by the Managing Board and supports the payment of a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share in cash or in the form of shares of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG. The remainder of the balance sheet profit according to HGB will be carried forward to new account. We agreed with the audit result of the external auditor. The Supervisory Board approved the single-entity and consolidated financial statements. The annual financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG for the 2017 financial year have therefore been adopted.
The report by the Managing Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG on relationships with related parties (dependent company report) for the 2017 financial year was also examined by the external auditor. All the legal and business relationships with related parties described therein are conducted at arm's-length conditions such as would have been agreed between the PATRIZIA Group and a third party. The auditor issued the dependent company report with the following audit opinion:
"Having duly examined and assessed the report, we confirm that
The dependent company report prepared by the Managing Board and examined by the external auditor and the associated audit report were made available to all members of the Supervisory Board in good time. Based on the result of its examination, the Supervisory Board raises no objections to the report and the concluding statement by the Managing Board contained therein.
2017 was another year of growth for PATRIZIA Immobilien AG which brought many challenges with it. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Managing Board and all the employees whose local real estate expertise helps to ensure our success on the European markets and who work with dedication and loyalty for the future of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG.

On 22 June 2017, the Annual General Meeting of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG approved a capital increase from company funds for the issue of bonus shares in a 10:1 ratio for the sixth year in succession. The amendment to the Articles of Association became effective following its entry in the commercial register of the company on 5 July 2017. The share capital increased by 10% or EUR 8,395,589 and has since amounted to EUR 92,351,476, divided into 92,351,476 no-par value bearer shares. Each shareholder was granted one new share for every ten existing PATRIZIA shares after the close of trading on 20 July 2017. The first day of trading for the new shares was 21 July 2017.
PATRIZIA Immobilien AG announced a public share buy-back offer on 8 August 2017. The acceptance period ended on 7 September 2017.

The shareholder structure of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG changed only slightly in the past financial year. The founder and CEO of the company, Mr Wolfgang Egger, remains its majority shareholder. At the end of 2017, he held 51.71% of the share capital via First Capital Partner GmbH. The increase of just under 0.1% compared with the previous year is due to the reversal of a securities lending agreement with a designated sponsor. The second-largest shareholder, the North American investor Wasatch, holds 3.22% of the share capital according to the voting rights notification dated 21 July 2017. Furthermore, Union Investment Privatfonds GmbH has held a share package of 3.07% since May 2013. As noted above, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG held 3.03% of the share capital in the form of treasury shares as at 31 December 2017. 29.44% of the remaining shares are held by institutional investors, with a further 9.53% held by private shareholders.
In terms of regional distribution, PATRIZIA's shareholders, which number a good 10,000, are spread across 51 countries worldwide. However, the vast majority of the shares are held by German shareholders (82.04%), followed by shareholders in the USA (8.78%) and the United Kingdom (4.16%).
For the past fiscal year 2017, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG propose to use the balance sheet profit in accordance with HGB of EUR 405.3m to pay out a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share and to carry the remainder forward to new account. Based on the share of the IFRS consolidated net profit for 2017 of EUR 55.0m attributable to shareholders, this corresponds to a pay-out ratio of 42%. Shareholders will be given the option of receiving the dividend payment in cash or in the form of shares in PATRIZIA Immobilien AG.

The Group management report has been combined with the management report of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG in accordance with section 315 (3) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) in conjunction with section 298 (2) HGB because the situation of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG as the management and financial holding company is strongly linked with the situation of the Group. The combined management report contains all presentations of the net assets, earnings and financial situation of the company and the Group as well as other details that are required according to German commercial law and the supplementary provisions of DRS 20. The currency denomination is the euro.
PATRIZIA Immobilien AG is one of the leading independent real estate investment companies in Europe. Around 650 employees (FTE) are on hand for our investors in more than 15 European real estate markets. In addition, we are represented in New York, Hong Kong and Melbourne. PATRIZIA provides a wide range of services from asset management, portfolio management and implementation of purchase and sales transactions for almost all investment classes to alternative investments and project developments. As a result, investor preferences and requirements can be met extensively in a investor-specific way. Investors include private and institutional investors with a long-term focus such as insurance firms, pension fund institutions, sovereign funds and savings banks from all over Europe and Asia. PATRIZIA develops bespoke products for investors in line with their individual return expectations, diversification objectives and risk styles.
PATRIZIA's business model is to invest in attractive properties and real estate portfolios throughout Europe for institutional and private investors and, in some cases, in conjunction with institutional investors as a co-investor. As a result PATRIZIA generates fee income and investment income in three different categories:
In the context of third-party business, investment funds are placed and managed for private and institutional investors via the Group's own investment management companies. The funds are structured in such a way that PATRIZIA does not invest any of its capital. PATRIZIA generates stable, recurrent income through fees from investment management in relation to inter alia asset management as well as purchase and sales transactions. If individually defined return targets are exceeded, PATRIZIA also receives a performance-related fee. Third-party business additionally includes mandates in which PATRIZIA offers individual services from its extensive range.
On the basis of co-investments, PATRIZIA also participates in transactions with its investors using its own capital. Along with its commitment to the investor and the transaction, PATRIZIA generates investment income in addition to its income from management fees. This gives shareholders the opportunity to participate in the performance of an attractive real estate portfolio diversified across Europe.
PATRIZIA operates as an investment manager for institutional and private investors, and therefore endeavours to avoid conflicts of interest with its own investments. Consequently, principal investments, i.e. own-account transactions, are generally undertaken either as interim financing for public funds or as early-phase investments with the purpose of subsequent contribution to institutional funds. There is also a residual holding of privatisation properties.
As at 31 December 2017, PATRIZIA managed real estate assets of EUR 21.9bn (31 December 2016: EUR 18.6bn). The volume managed solely on behalf of third parties totalled EUR 15.9bn (31 December 2016: EUR 11.6bn); the portfolio of co-investments in which PATRIZIA has an own-capital share of up to 10% fell to EUR 5.9bn as a result of sales (31 December 2016: EUR 6.9bn). Principal investments remained unchanged from the previous year at EUR 0.1bn (31 December 2016: EUR 0.1bn).
PATRIZIA aims to be a leader in all real estate asset classes for its investors – in Germany and Europe. As an independent real estate company, PATRIZIA operates both for large institutional investors from all over the world and for German private investors, and provides extensive value added in all real estate segments. PATRIZIA aims to strengthen its position further, to steadily increase the assets under management and recurring income in future years, resulting in a long-term rise in operating income.
In previous years, offices have been opened and teams set up in all relevant European countries. One key element of PATRIZIA's strategy is extending existing country activities and tapping into further markets in Europe. Expansion into new markets and market segments is only carried out either where other companies established on the market can be seamlessly integrated into the PATRIZIA Group or where highly qualified experts with a relevant track record can be recruited. The market is constantly monitored with a view to these kinds of additions.
The product line is subject to targeted expansion and now covers nearly all property asset classes: from residential, office, retail and logistics properties to hotels and care homes. PATRIZIA's Europewide platform provides ideal conditions to offer investments within the legal and regulatory framework preferred by the respective investors according to their local regulations. This expertise and its wide-ranging presence in Europe have helped to establish PATRIZIA among investors as an internationally successful brand.
Relationships with investors have been and continue to be expanded worldwide. Local relationship representatives have been established in Australia, Hong Kong and the USA, and the European investor relationship team has been bolstered specifically for the Southern Europe and Scandinavia regions. The existing national investor base is also being expanded further in Germany. The aim is to build up a long-term, stable investor relationship as per that which PATRIZIA already enjoys with its existing, predominantly German investors. There is strong demand among these investors for the range of new products as well as advice on reinvesting sales proceeds from existing investments.
Direct access to investors is one of PATRIZIA's strengths. It is built on the trust of investors who have maintained and deepened their 30-year-plus business relationship with PATRIZIA, and who include more than 200 institutional investors in Germany and abroad. They invest with PATRIZIA regularly and recurrently, as the company outperforms its benchmarks. In addition, PATRIZIA has been offering public funds for private investors and semi-professional investors since 2016. Demand from this new investor group has been above expectations. Equity of EUR 206.5m was invested in six different funds in this sector in the first two years alone. Overall, investors entrusted PATRIZIA with new equity of EUR 2.0bn in the past financial year.
Based on profound trust and a professional, highly scalable platform, PATRIZIA's scope of activity and network covers more than 15 European markets. PATRIZIA is represented in these markets by accomplished teams with long standing track records. The company's regionally and nationally established network enables it to identify and pursue attractive investment opportunities in nearly all real estate asset classes and risk profiles. As a result, PATRIZIA has direct access to current market developments and tracks virtually all transactions relevant to its investors.
PATRIZIA's investors receive an "all-round package" that includes all services and the entire value chain of the investment. Of course, individual components can also be selected from this range.
PATRIZIA's successful transactions build its reputation. For instance, purchases and sales with a total volume of EUR 6.0bn were carried out last year, including EUR 2.5bn outside Germany. The substantially increased performance-related income in the 2017 financial year is testament to the track record of the real estate funds launched for institutional and private investors. The long-term value-added within a portfolio is one of the company's core strengths that pays off in the return generated for our investors. However, PATRIZIA's investors and business partners also value its prudent identification of opportunities in all real estate asset classes throughout Europe and fast, smooth handling of purchases and sales.
PATRIZIA has the DNA of an investor and also invests in conjunction with its institutional investors. Investing part of its equity has been a key element of PATRIZIA's business model since the company was founded, with its equity being invested in co-investments in partnership with investors. Our longstanding experience and wide-ranging expertise as an investor are sought out and valued by our investors.
Among investors and business partners in Europe, the name PATRIZIA is synonymous with trustbased, reliable partnership and successful transactions. This reputation stems from sustainable, prudent and successful business operations. The brand and the associated trust are essential to attracting new investors and extending existing business relationships. That is why we firmly believe in fostering the PATRIZIA brand and earning the trust of investors with every investment.
At PATRIZIA, corporate management is carried out under the Management Services and Investments segments. The Management Services segment largely comprises fee income from portfolio, asset and fund management. The Investments segment primarily contains the return on equity employed. Segment reporting can be found in item 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
PATRIZIA uses the following financial performance indicators for corporate management:
| Financial performance indicators | Description |
|---|---|
| Assets under management (real estate assets) |
The Group's growth is assessed on the basis of assets under management. |
| Operating income | Operating income is the Group's key management parameter. It is calculated as EBT in accordance with IFRS adjusted for non-cash effects from the measurement of investment property and unrealised currency effects, amortisation of fund management agreements as well as reorganisation expenses. It includes changes in the value of investment property realised on disposal and realised currency effects. |
In addition, the following framework parameters are applied in Group management:
| 02 | |
|---|---|
| Further framework parameters | Description |
| Administrative fees | PATRIZIA receives recurrent service fees for managing the real estate assets. |
| Transaction fees | PATRIZIA receives a transaction volume-related fee for purchases or sales. |
| Performance-related fees | PATRIZIA receives performance-related remuneration if defined target returns on individual investments are exceeded. |
| Transaction volume | The transaction volume is the sum of purchases and sales. |
| Investment Income | Return on own capital employed. |
| Equity raised | For the various investments, equity is raised from institutional and private investors. |
The development of these indicators is detailed in item 2.2.
For direct corporate management, PATRIZIA does not apply any non-financial performance indicators.
PATRIZIA's sustainability strategy is aimed at incorporating social and environmental criteria in the stakeholder dialogue and value creation in order to meet international regulations and be equipped for future challenges in Europe. Our strategy was developed on the basis of international guidelines such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the targets of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

× = The action has an impact on the marked area of action
The ESG strategy is managed by CEO Wolfgang Egger and CIO Anne Kavanagh. In addition, PATRIZIA has an ESG working group that is responsible for dealing with the requirements of internal and external stakeholders, adapting and extending the ESG strategy and identifying relevant interfaces within the PATRIZIA organisational units. A steering committee monitors the results. The working group meets at the end of each quarter and gives the steering committee recommendations for successful implementation of the ESG strategy.
When purchasing properties, PATRIZIA focuses on the risks and opportunities identified by the assessment of sustainability aspects in conjunction with legal, technical and financial due diligence. The sustainability assessment enables the company to identify potential value drivers in asset management and assesses the overall feasibility of investments rather than weighting individual value drivers.
PATRIZIA has developed a sustainability assessment aimed at identifying risks and opportunities in the management of properties. This assessment is based on five aspects with a total of 21 individual criteria:
This catalogue is integrated in the due-diligence process when buying properties. The sustainability assessment is based on a simplified version of international guidelines on green-building certificates such as LEED and DGNB, and gives the acquisitions team an initial indication of sustainability performance and the elements to be taken into account when managing real estate assets. It is primarily focused on residential and commercial properties rather than logistics, care homes and hotels.
The acquisition of residential real estate is strictly regulated in Europe. Since around 2009, condominium owners who wish to operate residential buildings have been obliged to show the buyer their energy performance certificate (EPC). EPCs are a key element in assessing a building's energy consumption. Depending on the investment strategy - with regard to buy-to-hold or buy-to-refurbish - PATRIZIA relies on EPCs so that it can assess the property value. In addition, PATRIZIA complies with the building provisions in each country, using specialist local teams and local contractors with knowledge of regional regulations.
Our success is founded on the qualifications and strengths of our employees. Our investors benefit from the variety of skills, experience and characters of our employees. We endeavour to create an environment in which everyone can fulfil all their potential and in which differences are acknowledged and respected. We help our employees to perform their tasks as well as possible, and are proud of our partnership-based corporate culture.
As an employer, we delegate a high degree of decision-making authority and responsibility to our employees. Consequently, we give them the scope to evolve and enhance their knowledge, experience and characters. In doing so, we foster their identification with the corporate objectives and their application for our investors. That is what we mean by "the PATRIZIA spirit". We help them to find the right place in one of our many business units and Europe-wide locations.
To pursue our business strategy and keep on growing, we rely on attracting and retaining the best talents in a competitive employment market. That is why we invest in training.
We train our young talents and offer them the following options:
In Germany, the training rate (dual training and dual-study courses) was just under 5% in the year under review. We work closely with universities and schools, regularly attend university careers fairs and network meetings, and offer numerous internships, theses and student employee positions.
We promote targeted development of our employees through:
To help our employees balance family and work and foster their health, PATRIZIA offers flexible working-hours arrangements (the part-time rate is 30% in Germany for instance), and various locationspecific services, such as the following at all German locations:
An open culture of discussion is a priority for us, as is a regular exchange between our employees. We promote this exchange in a highly targeted way through various events such as:
As well as team spirit, this creates synergies for our projects. PATRIZIA's values also include innovation and diversity. Our international and multicultural company thrives on the combination of different perspectives that ensure our long-term success.
We give our employees equal opportunities regardless of race or ethnic origin, gender, religion or ideology, disability, sexual identity or age. Appointments, promotions and level of remuneration are based solely on employees' qualifications and experience. In addition, on signing their employment contract, all managers and employees are obliged to refrain from discrimination on the above grounds.
The share of women in the workforce is 50%. There is a balanced age structure: just under 17% of employees are under 30 years old, 65% are aged between 30 and 50, and just under 18% are over 50 years of age. The diversity of nationalities, cultures and languages is a major strategic advantage for us. In the reporting year we had a total of 28 different nationalities.
With women accounting for just under 6% of first-tier management posts and just under 27% in the second tier, we are close to the targets we set in 2015.
Compliance with anti-bribery and corruption legislation is essential to avoiding penalties and reputational damage as well as to ensuring long-term corporate success, and is therefore also hugely relevant to PATRIZIA. For all companies in Germany, PATRIZIA has introduced a code of values and a compliance manual that contain extensive regulations and standards relating to anti-bribery and corruption. In addition, compliance training sessions that particularly cover these two issues have been held for all employees in Germany.
For PATRIZIA, assuming social responsibility outside of the actual business model is part of being a responsible, sustainably operating company. PATRIZIA KinderHaus-Stiftung builds schools, children's hospitals and orphanages all over the world. PATRIZIA Immobilen AG applies its real estate expertise here in order to give children educational, medical and social aid. Corporate giving covers all the foundation's administrative costs, meaning that all donations go entirely towards project work. PATRIZIA KinderHaus-Stiftung currently helps over 15,000 children a year in ten different countries in its 15 projects. Managers from the company serve as Board members of the foundation in a voluntary capacity. In addition, the full-time foundation team is supported by employees from various departments (e.g. HR, Marketing, IT and Accounts). Meaningful performance indicators cover the social impact (including the number of children reached and the number of projects) as well as the volume of donations.
In terms of respecting human rights, PATRIZIA sees no particular relevance to its business model due to its regional focus. PATRIZIA complies with appropriate safety practises and avoids forced and child labour.
Significant risks in not pursuing the PATRIZIA sustainability strategy and not complying with the requirements in the areas of employee matters, combating corruption and fraud, social issues and human rights are:
a. Loss of staff and increased fluctuation b. Reputation risks c. Increased competitive pressure and loss of market share d. Legal risks
For information on further risks, see 4.3.2 Operational risks.
The markets in general: The upturn in the European economy that was observed in 2016 continued at the same pace in 2017. This was supported by growth in global trade, which was driven by the developed industrialised nations in particular. Employment in Europe increased once again, accompanied by moderate wage growth. This led to an upturn in private consumption that made a significant contribution to economic expansion in the euro zone. Investment activity was also boosted by the ECB's monetary policy measures. In the euro zone, full-year GDP growth of around 2.2% is forecast for 2017, followed by around 2.1% in 2018. Inflation increased to 1.5% in 2017 and is expected to amount to 1.4% in the current year.
Real estate markets: European real estate continues to be an extremely popular investment choice for institutional and private investors alike. The European real estate transaction volume increased by 13.0% to the previous year, from EUR 238.7bn to EUR 269.8bn. The lack of profitable alternative investments and the favourable financing environment led to a high level of investment activity on the real estate markets that was frequently only curbed by limited product availability. With a shortage of suitable products and a continued downturn in yields in the top locations, investors increasingly focused on secondary locations. Although yield compression can also be observed in these secondary locations, they offer higher yields than their more prestigious counterparts. The European real estate markets are expected to see further yield compression, albeit at a significantly reduced level. This applies to the top locations in particular.

As at 31 December 2017, PATRIZIA had real estate assets under management of EUR 21.9bn compared with EUR 18.6bn at the end of the previous year. EUR 15.5bn of this figure is related to Germany, with assets outside Germany accounting for the remaining EUR 6.4bn. Assets under management increased by a total of EUR 3.3bn or 17.7% in the period under review. Of this figure, EUR 1.1bn was attributable to the acquisition of Sparinvest Property Investors (fund of funds business). This means the target of organic growth of around EUR 2.0bn p.a. was exceeded.
Operating income increased by 13.8% to EUR 82.2m in the 2017 financial year (2016: EUR 72.2m), thereby significantly exceeding the upwardly revised forecast of just over EUR 75.0m issued in November 2017. The increase was attributable to higher than expected performance-based income from two co-investments. The prior-year amount was adjusted for the earnings contribution from the disposal of the Harald portfolio. The Harald portfolio was acquired by PATRIZIA in May 2015 and resold in early 2016 for a net profit of around EUR 200m. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80

All the services performed by PATRIZIA are compensated in the form of fees. Management fees comprise the company's remuneration for real estate-related services such as asset, fund and portfolio management and are mostly recurring in nature. Management fees of EUR 93.2m were reported in the 2017 financial year (2016: EUR 89.1m; +4.7%). The prior-year figure included EUR 10.5m in property management fees that are no longer recognised following the sale of property management business at the start of 2017. However, the property management fees have already been more than offset by the increase in management fees for the higher volume of real estate assets under management, which rose by around 18.7% as against the previous year on a like-for-like basis.

PATRIZIA receives a fee for acquisition and disposal transactions in line with market conditions. At EUR 51.8m, transaction fees for the past year were lower than the extremely strong prior-year figure (2016: EUR 70.3m; -26.4%) but in line with the average for the financial years since 2012 (EUR 54.1m). Acquisitions accounted for EUR 31.4m of the transaction fees recorded (2016: EUR 48.1m; −34.7%), with EUR 20.3m attributable to disposals (2016: EUR 22.2m; −8.6%).

PATRIZIA's core business is Europe-wide real estate investment management for institutional and private investors. PATRIZIA generates service fee income for the services performed and investment income from its co-investments and principal investments. Accordingly, the company's activities can be broken down into the following three categories:
In its third-party business, PATRIZIA uses its own regulated and unregulated platforms to structure, place and manage investment assets for institutional investors and private investors. These funds are launched without any equity investment on the part of PATRIZIA. PATRIZIA generates stable, recurring income in the form of management service fees for property management as well as acquisition and disposal transactions. PATRIZIA also receives a performance-based fee if defined individual yield targets are exceeded. All in all, third-party business accounted for EUR 15.9bn of PATRIZIA's assets under management as at 31 December 2017.
The funds act as holding agents. The properties held by the funds have a planned initial holding period of between seven and ten years. Various PATRIZIA operating units act as service providers on behalf of the funds of the three German investment management companies (KVG) and the Luxembourg-based regulated platform (AIFM), thereby generating fee income.
PATRIZIA WohnInvest KVG mbH primarily invests in residential real estate, while PATRIZIA GewerbeInvest KVG mbH invests in commercial real estate. Both companies have a European focus and launch special real estate funds for institutional investors.
PATRIZIA GrundInvest KVG mbH bundles the Group's activities in the area of closed-end private investor funds. In its second full financial year after obtaining its licence, it placed four closed-end private investor funds with an equity volume of EUR 131.2m on the market in full. 2017 also saw the launch of two new funds allowing private investors to invest in commercial real estate in Munich and Mainz, as well as real estate acquisitions in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Dresden with a view to the launch of additional fund products. With these activities, closed-end private investor funds business again made a contribution to PATRIZIA's revenues and earnings and will continue to positively support the Group's development in the future.
PATRIZIA Real Estate Investment Management S.à r.l. (REIM) acts as a European platform for German and international institutional investors.
PATRIZIA's third-party business also includes single-asset mandates, which accounted for a total volume of around EUR 3.5bn as at 31 December 2017. The increase as against the previous year is attributable to the acquisition of the Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt/Main, which was signed in 2016 on behalf of a Korean investor but not closed until mid-2017, as well as the fund of funds business of PATRIZIA Multi Managers (formerly Sparinvest Property Investors), which was acquired in October 2017 and included in this item for the first time at the end of the year.

PATRIZIA uses co-investments to participate in real estate investments in the value-add and opportunistic segments with its own capital alongside that of its investors. As well as committing to the investor and the transaction, PATRIZIA generates service fee income in the same way as from its third-party business in addition to investment income. In this way, PATRIZIA's shareholders are given the opportunity to participate indirectly in the value development of an attractive real estate portfolio. Co-investments accounted for EUR 5.9bn of PATRIZIA's assets under management as at 31 December 2017. PATRIZIA has invested EUR 0.2bn of its own equity in co-investments.

As an investment manager for institutional investors and private investors, PATRIZIA strives to avoid conflicts of interest with its own investments. Principal investments, i.e. transactions for the company's own account, are therefore only conducted as interim financing for mutual funds or as early-phase investments to be contributed to institutional funds at a later date. The company also has residual holdings of properties for resale. Principal investments amounted to EUR 0.1bn as at 31 December 2017.
Principal investments developed as follows in 2017:
In the year under review, PATRIZIA successfully pressed ahead with restaurants and various leisure facilities at this location, which has now been fully let, and continued work on the pre-development phase for a residential plot. PATRIZIA also held two undeveloped plots at the reporting date.
The resale of the principal investments at Sudermannzentrum and Wildrosenweg in Munich continued, while the other holdings in Munich, Cologne and Mannheim were also reduced further.
Extensive pre-development work took place at the development project acquired in the attractive London borough of Barking in May 2016, where the plan is to develop around 200 smaller residential units in a 28-storey building.
Information on the earnings development of the principal investments can be found in the description of the company's results of operations in section 2.3.2.
In the 2017 financial year, PATRIZIA again enjoyed considerable success on the European real estate markets. The company's net assets, financial position and results of operations continued to develop extremely positively, thereby providing strong foundations for the further implementation of its strategic objectives.
Operating income increased by 13.8% year-on-year to EUR 82.2m (2016: EUR 72.2m). Following a successful fourth quarter, this meant that operating income exceeded the upwardly revised full-year forecast of "slightly above" EUR 75m issued towards the end of the financial year. This positive development was primarily attributable to the unexpectedly pronounced increase in performance fees to EUR 66.9m.
Fee income totalled EUR 211.9m, up 12.4% on the comparable prior-year figure of EUR 188.6m. Management fees increased by 4.7% to EUR 93.2m despite the fact that fees of around EUR 10.5m were no longer recognised in 2017 following the sale of property management business line. Adjusting the prior-year figure for these property management fees, growth amounted to 18.7% on a like-forlike basis. In other words, increased fee income due to the higher volume of assets under management more than offset the fees lost as a result of the sale of property management. At EUR 51.8m, transaction fees were down on the extremely high prior-year level but were in line with the strong average figure recorded in recent years.

Assets under management also saw stronger than anticipated growth. Organic growth accounted for a year-on-year increase of EUR 2.2bn or 11.8%. Including the fund of funds provider PATRIZIA Multi Managers (formerly Sparinvest Property Investors), real estate assets under management totalled EUR 21.9bn at the end of 2017. Taking into account the acquisitions of TRIUVA and Rockspring Property Investments Managers, assets under management more than doubled compared with the end of 2016 to around EUR 39bn on a pro forma basis.
A transaction volume of EUR 6.0bn was generated in the year under review, up 17.2% on the prioryear figure of EUR 5.1bn. The growth in the transaction volume serves as an impressive demonstration of our ability to identify and take advantage of attractive investment opportunities throughout Europe on behalf of our investors around the world. All in all, real estate acquisitions with a volume of EUR 3.5bn were conducted throughout Europe, an increase of 7.2% as against the previous year (2016: EUR 3.2bn). Disposals amounted to EUR 2.5bn, up 34.8% year-on-year (2016: EUR 1.9bn).
On 22 May 2017, PATRIZIA issued a bonded loan with a volume of EUR 300.0m. The issue enjoyed an extremely positive response on the market and was several times oversubscribed. The bond is structured in three tranches of five, seven and ten years and has a partially fixed and partially variable interest rate, corresponding to an average interest rate of 1.50% p.a. The additional liquidity generated from the bonded loan will increase the company's financial flexibility for further organic and inorganic growth. The issue volume and the extremely attractive conditions serve to underline PATRIZIA's earnings strength and robust capital structure. The liquidity available for further growth, including the funds generated from the bonded loan, amounted to EUR 576.2m as at 31 December 2017.
The Annual General Meeting of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG on 22 June 2017 approved the management's proposal to carry forward the unappropriated profit for 2016 to new account in full and resolved a capital increase from company funds in a ratio of 10:1. The amendment to the Articles of Association was entered in the commercial register of the company on 5 July 2017. The new shares were granted to the qualifying shareholders after the close of trading on 20 July 2017. The first day of trading for the new shares was 21 July 2017. Following the issue of the bonus shares, the company's share capital amounted to EUR 92,351,476, of which parts were used as acquisition currency in the fourth quarter of 2017.
PATRIZIA announced a public share buy-back offer on 8 August 2017. The acceptance period ended on 7 September 2017. In the course of the share buy-back offer, the company purchased a total of 2,011,980 treasury shares at a purchase price of EUR 17.40 per share. A final share buy-back program announced on 13 September 2017 with a volume of up to EUR 15.0m concluded on 30 October 2017. PATRIZIA therefore bought back a total of 2,860,851 of its own shares in the year under review.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, PATRIZIA substantially strengthened its business model with the announcement of three strategically important acquisitions and significantly expanded the product and investment opportunities available to its institutional and private investors.
Taken together, these acquisitions represent important steps on PATRIZIA's path to becoming the leading global provider of real estate investments in Europe. They serve to expand product diversity for our institutional and private investors, improve access to the European property market through a substantially stronger European platform and increase our assets under management significantly to EUR 38.7bn on a pro forma basis, more than double the amount reported at the end of 2016.
To ensure transparency and comparability, PATRIZIA's results of operations are adjusted for the effects of the sale of the Harald portfolio in 2016. While there were no such effects in 2017, the following section presents the prior-year figures in both adjusted and unadjusted form. The discussion of the development of the Group's results of operations refers solely to the adjusted figures.
Operating income is the Group's key management parameter. It represents the total of all of the operating items in the income statement adjusted for the extraordinary and non-cash effects presented below. In the 2017 financial year, PATRIZIA again succeeded in increasing its operating income significantly. After EUR 72.2m in the previous year, operating income rose by 13.8% to EUR 82.2m in the year under review. The table below shows the detailed reconciliation and development of operating income:

The increase in operating income is primarily due to the higher level of fee income, which has become PATRIZIA's main source of income following the expansion of its investment management business. By contrast, income from the sale of properties held by the company and the corresponding income are declining steadily in line with the strategy adopted.
The following section discusses the individual components of operating income in greater detail in the order in which they are reported in the consolidated income statement.

PATRIZIA's revenues declined from EUR 325.4m in the previous year to EUR 249.6m in the year under review. Revenues from management services, which account for the majority of fee income, increased in line with our more pronounced focus on investment management services. At the same time, rental revenues and revenues from ancillary rental costs declined in line with our strategy of reducing our own property holdings.

Revenues from management services increased by a substantial 12.2%, from EUR 161.3m in the previous year to EUR 180.9m in the period under review. However, revenues alone have only limited information value; the profit and loss items below consolidated revenues must also be taken into account in order to fully assess the Group's performance.
Including the income from the co-investment GBW GmbH and the business parks held together with Oaktree, both reported in income from participations, fee income amounted to EUR 211.9m, an increase of 12.4% on the comparable prior-year figure of EUR 188.6m. Management fees increased by 4.7% to EUR 93.2m despite the fact that fees of around EUR 10.5m were no longer recognised in 2017 following the sale of property management. At EUR 51.8m, transaction fees were down on the extremely high prior-year level but were in line with the strong average figure recorded in recent years. Performance fees increased significantly to EUR 66.9m.

Proceeds from the sale of principal investments declined from EUR 143.7m in the previous year to EUR 56.7m. In 2017, proceeds were generated from the sale of an office building in Glasgow, United Kingdom, and the ongoing resale of properties from the housing portfolio in Germany in particular. The prior-year figure primarily contained the sale of a principal investment in Manchester, United Kingdom.
PATRIZIA generated rental revenues of EUR 7.8m in the period under review compared with EUR 12.0m in the 2016 financial year. The year-on-year decrease is due in particular to the reduction in the number of rental properties held by the company (principal investments) due to disposals, as well as the transfer to mutual funds of properties that were recognised temporarily and hence only generated rental revenues for PATRIZIA on a temporary basis.
Revenues from ancillary costs relate to rental ancillary costs and amounted to EUR 2.3m in the period under review (2016: EUR 4.2m).
Other primarily contains transaction costs oncharged to the respective investment vehicles. This item declined from EUR 4.3m in the previous year to EUR 2.0m in the 2017 financial year.
Total operating performance reflects PATRIZIA's operating performance more comprehensively than revenues. Relevant parameters, such as changes in inventories – which must be viewed in relation to proceeds from the disposal of principal investments, among other things – are taken into account in total operating performance. PATRIZIA's total operating performance in the year under review was largely unchanged year-on-year at EUR 227.7m (2016: EUR 226.9m).

PATRIZIA generated income of EUR 0.7m from the sale of investment property in the 2017 financial year after EUR 1.5m in the previous year. The significant year-on-year decrease of 55.2% was due to the fact that the number of units sold was lower than in the previous year, as the portfolio has now been almost completely sold off.
Changes in inventories of EUR −39.9m were reported in the year under review (2016: EUR −115.1m; −65.3%). The carrying amount of inventories decreased by EUR −49.3m on account of the properties sold (2016: EUR −125.3m; −60.7%). The largest components of this development were the sale of the office building in Glasgow, United Kingdom, and the deconsolidation of properties for the Group's mutual fund business for private investors. The carrying amount of inventories increased due to the capitalisation of expenses in the amount of EUR 9.4m (2016: EUR 10.1m; −7.8%), which primarily related to construction and maintenance measures for the principal investments.
Other operating income increased to EUR 17.3m (2016: EUR 9.9m) and mainly comprised expired obligations in the amount of EUR 11.1m.

The cost of materials includes construction and maintenance measures for the company's own portfolio, which are typically capitalised. The cost of materials declined by 37.0% year-on-year to EUR 17.5m (2016: EUR 27.7m) and is composed of the following expense items:
The cost of purchased services primarily includes expenses for the white-label funds of PATRIZIA GewerbeInvest GmbH, for which PATRIZIA performs asset management as a service. The cost of purchased services declined by 22.8% year-on-year to EUR 11.5m (2016: EUR 14.8m). The service fees attributable to white-label funds fell by 13.9% to EUR 13.4m (2016: EUR 15.5m). The corresponding costs amounted to EUR 10.2m (2016: EUR 12.8m; −20.4%).
As at 31 December 2017, PATRIZIA had a total of 643 employees (FTEs). The decrease compared with the previous year (31 December 2016: 794 FTEs) is due to the sale of Property Management. The reduced workforce is reflected in staff costs as follows:

All in all, staff costs declined by 0.3% to EUR 87.1m in the 2017 financial year (2016: EUR 87.3m). The reduction in the number of employees meant that fixed salaries fell by 5.3%, from EUR 50.5m to EUR 47.8m. Variable salaries increased by 2.1%, from EUR 22.5m to EUR 23.0m, reflecting the company's successful business development in the 2017 financial year. Sales commission declined from EUR 4.2m to EUR 2.4 due to the lower level of resale activity. The company's positive share price performance resulted in expenses for long-term variable remuneration of EUR 1.2m in the period under review following a positive effect of EUR 2.8m in the 2016 financial year. Other staff costs primarily relate to benefits in kind and increased by 60.9% year-on-year, from EUR 2.3m to EUR 3.7m. Further details on long-term variable remuneration can be found in the remuneration report in section 3.2.
This item contains the result of the annual revaluation of investment property. Changes in the value of investment property amounted to EUR 6.7m in the 2017 financial year after EUR 0.4m in the previous year. The positive change in fair value was due to the inclusion of building rights for the properties held by the company which were notarised during the period under review.
Other operating expenses increased by 34.4% in 2017, from EUR 61.2m to EUR 82.2m. The composition of other operating expenses is as follows:

Tax, legal and other advisory and year-end closing costs in the amount of EUR 34.3m (2016: EUR 14.7m) contain transaction&advisory costs of EUR 23.5m (2016: EUR 6.0m). This includes costs for company acquisitions in the amount of EUR 12.7m (2016: EUR 0.0m) and costs for transactions initiated but not completed in the amount of EUR 6.8m (2016: EUR 0.0m).
Other notable changes compared with the previous year related to advertising costs for an international marketing campaign, the cost of management services in the form of property management fees, and miscellaneous expenses resulting from aperiodic effects.
PATRIZIA generated income from participations of EUR 62.7m in the 2017 financial year, an increase of 55.4% as against the previous year (2016: EUR 40.3m). Proceeds from the disposals of the co-investment PATRIZIA Projekt 150 GmbH (2017: EUR 2.5m) and the British co-investments with Oaktree Capital Management (2017: EUR 10.5m) had a positive impact on income from participations. At EUR 30.2m, the co-investment GBW GmbH generated almost the same level of income as in the previous year (2016: EUR 30.5m). The co-investment WohnModul I, which is accounted for using the equity method, generated earnings of EUR 13.4m in the 2017 financial year, up significantly on the previous year (2016: EUR 7.7m; +74.5%). Earnings from companies accounted for using the equity method result from the appreciation in the value of the WohnModul I co-investment due to the positive development of its equity. The performance-based fee received for the co-investment WohnModul I is reported in revenues. Income from participations and earnings from companies accounted for using the equity method represent the investment income generated from the co-investments in addition to the corresponding fee income.

The reorganisation process in 2016 resulted in the recognition of follow-up costs of EUR 2.3m in the 2017 financial year (2016: EUR 20.4m). This primarily relates to expenses for severance payments, current salary payments during paid leave of absence, non-staff operating expenses and advisory costs.
PATRIZIA generated a consolidated net profit of EUR 58.9m in the 2017 financial year, up significantly on the previous year (2016: EUR 27.7m).

The following section discusses the relevant items of the reconciliation of consolidated net profit.
Amortisation of other intangible assets and software and depreciation of equipment increased by 41.5% to EUR 8.7m (2016: EUR 6.1m). The largest components of this item are amortisation of fund management agreements and licences (EUR 5.0m after EUR 2.0m in the previous year; +149.0%) and amortisation of software and depreciation of equipment (EUR 3.7m after EUR 4.1m in the previous year; −10.2%). The statement of changes in fixed assets is discussed in detail in note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Financial income, which primarily comprises shareholder loans to co-investment companies, declined from EUR 2.7m in the previous year to EUR 0.9m in the year under review. Financial income was offset by financial expenses, such as interest and interest rate hedging costs, in the amount of EUR 5.1m (2016: EUR 5.2m; −1.1%). Further information can be found in note 6.11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The result from currency translation amounted to EUR −2.7m as at 31 December 2017 (2016: EUR −5.6m). It is composed of realised currency effects in the amount of EUR −1.6m (2016: EUR −8.9m), unrealised currency effects in the amount of EUR −1.2m (2016: EUR −6.8m) and gains on currency hedging in the amount of EUR 0.00 (2016: EUR +10.1m). The development of the pound sterling had a significant influence on the result from currency translation.
Item 4, page 109
Income tax expense totalled EUR 21.2m in the 2017 financial year after EUR 14.2m in the previous year. The 2016 and 2017 financial years are only comparable to a limited extent on account of the sale of the Harald portfolio and restructuring under company law.

The Group's total assets increased from EUR 993.3m in 2016 to EUR 1.3bn in the year under review due to the issue of the bonded loan.
In line with its strategy, PATRIZIA's real estate assets declined by 40.7% in the year under review, from EUR 195.2m as at 31 December 2016 to EUR 115.8m as at 31 December 2017.

Of this figure, EUR 99.8m is attributable to inventories. This item contains real estate held for sale in the normal course of business or for subsequent contribution to a fund product for private investors. The 45.4% reduction in inventories compared with the previous year is due in particular to the sale of a principal investment in Glasgow, United Kingdom, and the deconsolidation of properties that were only reported temporarily and have since been transferred to mutual funds. A further EUR 16.0m relates to investment property originally purchased to be held for the long term and to generate rental income.

The Group's financial liabilities increased to EUR 322.0m as at 31 December 2017. This was largely due to the issue of the new bonded loan in May 2017. PATRIZIA had no outstanding short-term bank loans at the end of the year (31 December 2016: EUR 53.2m).
A bonded loan issued in 2013 and maturing on 30 June 2018 had a carrying amount of EUR 22.0m and was classified as a current liability. PATRIZIA also issued a bonded loan with a volume of EUR 300.0m on 22 May 2017. The issue enjoyed an extremely positive response in the market and was several times oversubscribed. The bond is structured in three tranches of five, seven and ten years and has a partially fixed and partially variable interest rate, corresponding to an average interest rate of 1.5% p.a.
Financial liabilities developed as follows compared with the end of 2016:

A detailed maturity profile of the liabilities can be found in note 5.4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
As at 31 December 2017, PATRIZIA had available liquidity of EUR 576.2m compared with EUR 394.2m at the end of 2016.

Current liquidity totalled EUR 584.7m (year-end 2016: EUR 440.2m). However, PATRIZIA does not have direct access to this amount in full. EUR 202.0m is invested in securities and short-term deposits. In addition, cash and cash equivalents totalling EUR 8.4m are required to be held as a permanent reserve for the asset management companies and mutual funds in order to meet the relevant regulatory requirements. Accordingly, PATRIZIA has EUR 576.2m in directly available liquidity.
The cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 17.2m in the year under review after EUR 503.4m in 2016. The high level recorded in the previous year was primarily due to the sale of the Harald portfolio and the No. 1 First Street office building in Manchester, United Kingdom, both of which were principal investments. Investing activities resulted in a cash outflow of EUR 411.9m (2016: cash inflow of EUR 268.2m), and included the advance purchase price payment for the acquisition of TRIUVA, the initial consolidation of Sparinvest Property Investors and the medium-term investment of parts of the company's available liquidity. This was offset by a positive cash flow from financing activities of EUR 337.1m after almost all financing was repaid in the previous year (2016: cash outflow of EUR 508.2m). The most important elements of the company's financing activities in 2017 were the cash flows received from the bonded loan and a short-term bank loan for a mutual fund, as well as the cash outflow as a result of the share buy-backs. Accordingly, the change in cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR −57.5m (2016: EUR 263.4m), meaning that cash and cash equivalents declined from EUR 440.2m at the end of 2016 to EUR 382.7m as at 31 December 2017.

The situation at the parent company PATRIZIA Immobilien AG is largely determined by the activities of the Group's operating companies.
As the financial and management holding company for these operating companies, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG generated revenues of EUR 16.8m (2016: EUR 20.3m; −17.2%), largely in the form of management fees oncharged to the subsidiaries. Commission for the services performed by the subsidiaries is also invoiced via the parent company, leading to corresponding administrative expenses.
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, page 82
Staff costs increased by 9.7% to EUR 26.3m (2016: EUR 24.0m). This was primarily due to the positive development of long-term variable remuneration as a result of the increase in the company's share price. The Cost of materials has now reached almost zero. Other operating expenses and depreciation, amortisation and write-downs declined by 12.1% to EUR 37.1m (2016: EUR 42.2m), largely as a result of realised exchange rate losses due to foreign-currency measurement. Net interest expense fell to EUR −11.8m as a result of the merger of Harald GmbH into PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (2016: EUR −15.3m). Income from participations, financial assets, profit transfers and loss absorption increased significantly year-on-year to EUR 96.8m (2016: EUR 27.1m). This was mainly due to the distribution and the interim dividend acquired in connection with the coinvestment WohnModul I.
This resulted in a net profit for the year in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) of EUR 270.4m for PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (2016: net loss of EUR −23.1m). Together with the profit carried forward in the amount of EUR 181.0m and deducting the purchase of treasury shares of EUR 46.1m, this represents the company's unappropriated profit, which increased from EUR 181.0m to EUR 405.3m.
PATRIZIA Immobilien AG is expected to enjoy positive development in the 2018 financial year. Further Item 5, page 72 information can be found in the Group forecast (note 5).

All of the arrangements are consistent with the standards for capital market-oriented German companies.
The Annual General Meeting on 22 June 2017 approved the management's proposal to carry forward the unappropriated profit to new account in full, as well as approving the issue of bonus shares for the 2016 financial year in a ratio of 10:1. Following the entry of the corresponding capital increase in the commercial register on 5 July 2017, the company's share capital has amounted to EUR 92,351,476.00, divided into 92,351,476 shares. These are no-par value bearer shares; there are no other share classes. Owing to treasury shares held at 31 December 2017 the share capital is reduced to EUR 89,555,059.00.
Each share grants the holder one vote. There are no restrictions on the voting rights or the transfer of shares. The Managing Board is not aware of any corresponding shareholder agreements.
As at 31 December 2017, Wolfgang Egger, CEO of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, held an interest in the company's share capital totalling 51.71% via First Capital Partner GmbH, in which he directly and indirectly holds a 100% equity interest via WE Vermögensverwaltung GmbH&Co. KG.
There are no shares with special rights conferring powers of control.
There are no controls in respect of voting rights.
The appointment and dismissal of members of the Managing Board is governed by section 84 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and supplemented by Article 6 of the Articles of Association of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG. Amendments to the Articles of Association are made in accordance with section 179 et seq. AktG in conjunction with Articles 16 and 21 of the Articles of Association. This makes use of the option granted by law of specifying a different capital majority.
By resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 25 June 2015, the Managing Board was authorised to purchase shares of the company amounting to up to 10% of the then existing share capital up to and including 24 June 2020; this corresponds to 6,938,503 shares. The authorisation may be exercised in whole or in part, on one or more occasions and in pursuit of one or more objectives by the company and its Group companies or by third parties acting on behalf of the company and its Group companies. The Managing Board is free to choose whether to purchase the shares on the stock exchange, by means of a public purchase offer extended to the company's shareholders, through the use of derivatives or through an individually negotiated buy-back. The purchased shares may be subsequently used for all legally permissible purposes; in particular, they may be withdrawn, sold in exchange for non-cash contributions, sold to shareholders or used to meet subscription or conversion rights.
Based on this authorisation, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG announced a public share buy-back offer on 8 August 2017. In the course of this offer, which ran until 7 September 2017, the company purchased a total of 2,011,980 treasury shares at a purchase price of EUR 17.40 per share. A final share buyback program announced on 13 September 2017 with a volume of up to EUR 15.0m concluded on 30 October 2017. PATRIZIA in total bought back a total of 2,860,851 of its own shares in the year under review. This means PATRIZIA is authorised to buy back a maximum of 4,077,652 additional treasury shares as at 31 December 2017.
By resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 16 June 2016, the Managing Board of the company was also authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the share capital by a total of up to EUR 37,000,000.00 by issuing new no-par value bearer shares in exchange for cash and/or non-cash contributions on one or more occasions up to and including 15 June 2021 (Authorised Capital 2016/I). With the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board is authorised to disapply shareholders' statutory subscription rights in certain cases. The full authorisation is set out in Article 4 (3) of the Articles of Association.
The Annual General Meeting on 16 June 2016 also authorised the Managing Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the share capital by a total of up to EUR 1,000,000.00 by issuing new no-par value bearer shares to be granted to employees of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG and its affiliated companies in exchange for cash contributions on one or more occasions up to and including 15 June 2021 (Authorised Capital 2016/II). The full authorisation is set out in Article 4 (3a) of the Articles of Association.
Furthermore, the Managing Board is authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to issue convertible bonds, bonds with warrants, participation rights and/or participating bonds or combinations of these instruments with a notional amount of up to EUR 950,000,000.00 with a limited or unlimited term on one or more occasions up to and including 15 June 2021 and to grant conversion rights or warrants for shares of the company with a proportionate interest in the share capital of up to EUR 41,800,000.00 to the creditors or bearers of such bonds in accordance with the conditions of the respective convertible bonds, bonds with warrants, participation rights or participating bonds. The details are set out in Article 4 (4) of the Articles of Association.
There are no agreements contingent upon a change of control following a takeover bid.
There are no compensation agreements with the members of the Managing Board or employees in the event of a takeover bid.
The remuneration report details the principles of the remuneration system for the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG and discloses the amount of the payments made to the individual members of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board for the 2017 financial year. The remuneration report takes into account all statutory provisions and complies with the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code with the caveat that there is no cap on the amount of the variable remuneration component.
The remuneration system for the Managing Board was adopted by resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 23 June 2010. The amount and structure of the remuneration paid to the members of the Managing Board is defined and regularly reviewed by the Supervisory Board. The remuneration paid to the members of the Managing Board is based on their area of responsibility, the personal performance of the individual members and the Managing Board as a whole, and the economic and financial position and success of PATRIZIA. The remuneration paid to the members of the Managing Board is appropriate, performance-based and consistent with market conditions. It is composed of performancerelated and non-performance-related components with a short-term and long-term incentive effect. There are no change of control clauses.
Non-performance-related remuneration components are the fixed remuneration, which is paid as a monthly salary, pension contributions and benefits in kind and other benefits, which primarily comprise the amounts permitted to be recognised under tax law for insurance premiums and the use of a company car.
As a matter of principle, the performance-related variable remuneration components are calculated on the basis of the qualitative and quantitative targets defined at the start of the financial year. Three categories are defined: company targets, divisional targets and individual targets. The amount of variable remuneration depends on the degree to which the predefined targets are achieved, missed or exceeded.
The primary criterion for the achievement of the company targets is operating income, which is the Group's key management parameter. Every year, a specific quantitative target for the consolidated operating income to be achieved is defined on the basis of company planning. If operating income falls below 67% of the defined target, the members of the Managing Board receive no variable remuneration irrespective of which other targets, i.e. company, divisional or individual targets, are achieved. A further criterion for calculating variable remuneration is the development of PATRIZIA's share price relative to the DIMAX share index over a two-year period.
The figure defined for each target corresponds to a target attainment level of 100%. If the actual amount is 120% or more of the defined target, 150% of the variable remuneration is paid out; this also represents the defined cap for the maximum payable variable remuneration. In the event of target attainment of up to 80%, 50% of the variable remuneration is paid out (floor).
A variable remuneration amount is calculated for each predefined individual target based on the degree of target attainment. The total of all of these amounts is paid out in two components. Twothirds of the amount is paid out in the next financial year, which is designated as a short-term component. The remaining one-third of the variable remuneration is paid out in the form of performing share units, i.e. not paid out directly. This is designated as a component with long-term incentive effect. Performing share units are virtual shares that entitle the beneficiaries to receive a monetary amount at the end of a defined performance period. Since the start of the 2014 financial year, PATRIZIA has defined this performance period as three years for all Managing Board members. The performing share units do not carry any voting or dividend rights. The variable remuneration component with long-term incentive effect is initially converted into performing share units at the average Xetra trading price for PATRIZIA's shares 30 days before and 15 days after 31 December of the respective financial year. The cash price equivalent of the shares calculated in this manner is paid out at the average Xetra trading price 30 days before and after 31 December of the third year following the respective financial year, i.e. after the end of the holding period. This serves to tie the variable remuneration component with long-term incentive effect to the company's share price performance. No cap has been defined for the fair value on the payment date.
Assuming the company, divisional and individual targets for the respective year are met in full (100%), this results in the following approximate remuneration structure for the fair value on the grant date: The non-performance-related remuneration components account for around 41% of the total remuneration paid to Mr Egger and Mr Schmitt. Short-term variable remuneration payable immediately accounts for a further 39%. The long-term remuneration component in the form of performing share units accounts for around 20% of the total remuneration. The ratio for Mr Bohn is 46%/36%/18%, while the ratio for Ms Kavanagh is 40%/40%/20%.
The remuneration of the members of the Managing Board for the 2017 financial year amounted to EUR 4.5m (2016: EUR 3.7m). Some of this amount was not yet paid out. The figure for 2017 contains 49,061 performing share units granted to the members of the Managing Board whose cash value equivalent will be paid out in the 2021 financial year (52,128 for the 2016 financial year, payment in 2020). The total remuneration paid out for the members of the Managing Board in the year under review was EUR 4.0m (2016: EUR 4.0m).
The overview below corresponds to the model tables recommended in the German Corporate Governance Code, broken down into benefits granted to the members of the Managing Board for the financial year but not yet paid out in full and benefits actually paid out.
The individual members of the Managing Board were granted the following remuneration for the respective financial year:

The remuneration paid to the members of the Supervisory Board is determined by resolution of the Annual General Meeting and in the Articles of Association. The Supervisory Board receives fixed remuneration in line with market conditions paid in four equal instalments at the end of each quarter. No variable remuneration is paid.
As the Supervisory Board comprises three members, no committees are formed; this means the committee remuneration recommended by the German Corporate Governance Code is not relevant. If a Supervisory Board member is not a member of the Supervisory Board during the entire financial year, the respective fixed remuneration is paid on a pro rata basis. Supervisory Board members are also reimbursed for their expenses and any VAT payable on their remuneration and expenses.

Item 9.3, page 147
Group-wide risk management ensures that opportunities and risks are systematically recorded, evaluated, controlled, monitored and communicated, both internally and externally. The aim is to obtain information about actual and potential risks and their financial consequences at an early stage and control them in such a way as to sustainably secure and increase enterprise value. Overall responsibility for risk management lies with the Managing Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG. The monitoring and further development of the risk management system is the responsibility of the Risk Management working group, which is composed of employees from the operating units and Controlling.
Opportunity management takes place separately from risk management. The Transactions and Alternative Investments units observe the market in conjunction with the Country Heads in order to identify attractive investment opportunities. The Product Development and Institutional Investors departments develop new products and structures for our investors. Strategic growth opportunities are identified by the PATRIZIA Strategy Committee and systematically pursued. The PATRIZIA asset management companies each have their own risk management system geared towards the special real estate funds they administer and aimed at ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. The risks and opportunities identified and communicated by PATRIZIA at an early stage – defined as negative/positive deviations from the target values – then go through the downstream management process. This includes the Managing Board's jour fixe and the Cooperation Committee, which comprises all of the Country Heads, Group Heads, Operational Group Heads and the COO/CIO.
The reports by Group Controlling provide a regular and reliable basis of information for controlling opportunities and risks. The value drivers of each area of responsibility are subject to a monthly target/actual analysis in order to allow undesirable developments to be identified at an early stage and countermeasures to be initiated. The opportunities and risks identified are taken into account in the planning and update processes. Risks are evaluated in terms of their probability of occurrence and potential loss amount and compiled at Group level. We use this to derive the necessary actions and limit the impact of the respective risks by implementing operational measures and, where necessary, accounting-related precautions such as the recognition of provisions. The analysis generally covers the period of our company planning; in the case of material strategic risks, however, the analysis extends beyond this period.
The risk management system is reviewed for efficiency and effectiveness in an annual internal risk audit. This audit results in a risk report illustrating all of the risks, operational measures and responsibilities previously examined by the responsible departments. In addition to the Managing Board, the relevant contact persons at the individual functions are informed about the results of the risk inventory. In accordance with section 317 (4) of the German Commercial Code (HGB), the risk early detection system is also examined by the auditor.
Accounting and financial reporting risk describes the risk that our annual and interim financial statements could contain inaccurate information. To avoid sources of error, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG has established an internal control system (ICS) for the accounting process that ensures the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of annual and quarterly financial statements to a sufficient extent. At the same time, the ICS cannot provide absolute certainty. The members of the Managing Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG sign the quarterly responsibility statement confirming that accounting standards have been complied with and that the figures give a true and fair view of the company's net assets, financial position and results of operations. The starting point for the ICS is company planning based on the targets prescribed by the Managing Board and expectations of operational business development. This serves to define the budgeted values for the coming financial year and the target values for the subsequent year for each company and each cost centre. Deviations between the target and actual figures are determined and evaluated on a monthly basis. Regular updates are prepared for the current financial year based on the actual values already achieved, the opportunities and risks identified and the outstanding budgeted values.
The ICS encompasses all of the measures and processes for the timely recording of all transactions in the books and records and the financial statements. It investigates changes in legislation and accounting standards and their consequences for the company's accounting and financial statements. The consistent implementation of the principle of dual control ensures compliance with statutory provisions in the accounting-related processes. The basis for the ICS is provided by functional separation and approval rules supported by standardised control and coordination processes. All approvals are documented and archived in the system.
Accounting for all operating companies in Germany is performed centrally at PATRIZIA Immobilien AG. Accounting for the companies outside Germany is generally performed by the respective regional subsidiary. The basis for accounting is provided by uniform Group-wide requirements within a central IT environment largely based on SAP. The data is consolidated in the Group Reporting &Consolidation unit. The employees involved in preparing the financial statements have received corresponding training and the responsibilities and controls within the preparation process are clearly defined.
The effectiveness of our accounting-related ICS is evaluated during the preparation of the financial statements and reviewed by the external auditor as part of its audit activities.
Opportunities and risks of macroeconomic development: The European real estate investment market is characterised by a high level of demand that is likely to remain in place due to a lack of alternative investments and favourable financing conditions. This demand is accompanied by a shortage of available investments in top European locations in particular, leading to a greater investment focus on so-called B and C locations. Investments in these locations require a detailed knowledge of the local conditions. Thanks to its presence on the individual European markets and its in-depth knowledge of the regional markets, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG is able to meet this high level of demand with its comprehensive product portfolio, which it optimises through acquisitions, disposals and development projects. As a matter of principle, events such as Brexit or the Catalan independence movement can have a negative impact on economic development and hence adversely effect the real estate markets. However, such events could also boost demand for real estate as a secure asset class. We do not currently see any signs of a slowdown in PATRIZIA Immobilien AG's business development in the medium term. A sharp rise in interest rates on the financial markets and for government bonds is considered to be relatively unlikely in the current year in light of the sustained expansionary nature of the ECB's monetary policy. At the same time, the current yield premium of real estate compared with long-term government bonds could undoubtedly absorb an interest rate rise of around 100 basis points without this leading to pronounced price corrections. In the longer term, a slight rise in interest rates is expected over the coming years depending on how quickly the normalisation of monetary policy takes place; however, a more precise estimate of the effects of this development will only be possible once the ECB's interest rate path becomes evident.
Residential real estate market: The economic recovery in Europe is making itself felt in the economically strong conurbations in particular. These regions saw substantial population growth once again in 2017, thereby generating significant demand for housing. The number of completions has increased slightly in recent years, but not to a sufficient extent to meet the high level of demand. This excess demand resulted in rising rents, while high private and institutional demand for residential real estate led to purchase price growth. In the top locations in particular, there was such a shortage of suitable products that many investors turned to B, C and D locations and invested in niche segments such as micro-apartments and student accommodation. This trend is set to continue in 2018.
Commercial real estate market – office: The positive economic momentum seen in Europe in 2016 continued in the past financial year. This was reflected on the market in the form of high demand for space. With new construction activity relatively muted, the vacancy rate continued to decline. Prime rents increased in most of the European markets, with Paris recording stable development and London seeing a fall in prime rents. The high level of demand for office real estate among institutional investors resulted in an increased transaction volume compared with the previous year and led to further yield compression. With the economic expansion set to continue in the coming year, demand for space is expected to remain high or increase further, with the vacancy rate remaining at a low level. This is likely to be reflected in a further rise in prime rents. As the high level of investor demand for office real estate is unlikely to decline in the coming year, a large transaction volume is again anticipated in 2018 depending on product availability. Prime yields are likely to remain under pressure.
Commercial real estate market – retail: Positive economic development and the resulting increase in employment had a corresponding effect on consumer confidence and private consumption in the course of 2017. Demand for space in top locations remained high, whereas demand for space at shopping centres declined slightly. The same is true for the investment market, where investor demand primarily concentrated on high street properties. The low availability of high street properties meant the investment volume declined slightly in 2017. Although prime rents in the high street segment increased, major retailers in some locations were no longer prepared to accept rent rises and entered into negotiations aimed at securing more flexible rental agreements. The shopping centre segment also saw moderate rental growth. Prime rents declined slightly once again. The retail market will continue to be driven by the high street in future. However, product availability in this segment is extremely limited, thereby naturally restricting the potential transaction volume. Prime yields will remain under pressure.
Competitive situation: There remains a high level of demand for indirect real estate investments. The unit established in 2016 for the initiation and management of closed-end fund products for private investors successfully placed further funds on the market in the year under review, while the fund platforms for institutional investors again attracted billions of euros in new capital. PATRIZIA is also expanding its service range and increasingly acquiring international investors via its established regional subsidiaries in Germany, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, France, Spain, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the USA. The workforce in the Institutional Investors unit was expanded in order to serve the markets of Asia in particular. A dedicated subsidiary was established in Hong Kong in 2017. Investors place great value in outstanding management quality at competitive prices. PATRIZIA is well positioned in this respect. PATRIZIA also has long-term investment agreements with its investors, most of which are concluded without a fixed term. This allows it to plan its revenue flows accordingly.
Acquisition and disposal of real estate: The sustained trend of strong demand for real estate continued in 2017. The transaction volume remained at the extremely high level recorded in the previous years. In a consistently relaxed monetary policy environment, international investors are continuing to make substantial investments in the European real estate markets. As a result, it remains extremely challenging for us to acquire suitable properties with risk-adjusted yields for our investors in an extremely competitive market.
Even in this environment, PATRIZIA succeeded in using its experience and its knowledge of the market in order to acquire attractive properties and portfolios for our investors – in some cases by addressing sellers directly in order to circumvent the competition – thereby enabling our investors to generate profits and optimise their portfolios through targeted disposals.
The continuous strategic enhancement of PATRIZIA's European platforms, including through the acquisitions announced in 2017, is giving us broader access to additional attractive investment opportunities. As a result, PATRIZIA is seen as a reliable and professional partner for the rapid, faithful implementation of large-scale individual and portfolio investments in Europe and, increasingly, around the world.
Although it is a seller's market at present, there is a risk that properties, including the company's own holdings, will not be realisable at the intended price.
Employees: The skills and motivation of PATRIZIA's employees are essential factors in the company's success. Our employees help us to gain the confidence of our investors, tenants, financing banks, business partners and shareholders, thereby creating sustainable business relationships. Our aim is to retain qualified employees within the Group for the long term. We use employee development measures, deputisation arrangements and early succession planning to reduce the risk of fluctuation and knowledge drain and fill management positions internally. Being perceived as an attractive employer in a competitive employment market is another important factor in PATRIZIA's continued successful development.
Item 1.5, page 30

IT security: Almost all significant business processes within the company are based on IT systems. Every disruption to the operation of the IT systems has consequences for our business activities. Substantial data losses can lead to serious financial losses, as well as adversely affecting the company's public image. To ensure the availability of business applications, almost all systems have been run redundantly in two physically separate data centres since the 2015 financial year. The ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems are also mirrored and run in parallel. These two measures ensure a significant reduction in downtime in the event of an emergency. Further protective measures, such as a NAC (network access control) solution and additional anti-malware mechanisms, serve to reduce the risk of damage from viruses, trojans and malicious software such as ransomware. Data is backed up regularly in order to prevent the technical loss of company data and ensure the reliability of IT operations. A password policy ensures that the passwords used are secure and that they are changed regularly.
Financing risk: Because of the solid structure of its statement of financial position, external financing is currently of only minor significance to the business model of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG and the Group. However, it plays a more important role at the level of the fund vehicles. The properties held and managed (principal investments) are no longer debt-financed. The risk that PATRIZIA Immobilien AG will be unable to obtain external financing for any new principal investments is currently extremely low. In May 2017, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG raised an unsecured bonded loan with a total volume of EUR 300m via the capital markets. The issue met with strong demand and was several times oversubscribed. Following the regular repayment in 2017, the two bonded loans raised in 2013 had a remaining amount outstanding of just EUR 22m. Following an additional unscheduled repayment of EUR 5m on 3 January 2018, this loan will be repaid in full in June 2018 as scheduled. Together with its substantial cash and cash equivalents, this means PATRIZIA is able to respond to the capital requirements of new investments at any time. Furthermore, potential principal investments are always financed at property/portfolio level. As part of its co-investments and third-party business, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG also raises debt finance as a service.
Loan conditions: The existing bonded loans contain various covenants, compliance with which is continuously monitored. Some of the loan agreements for property/portfolio financing as part of co-investments and third-party business contain covenants, compliance with which is also continuously monitored. However, these covenants do not have any direct consequences for PATRIZIA Immobilien AG.
Interest rate risks: The bonded loan with a total volume of EUR 300m contains three tranches with a combined volume of EUR 66m with a variable interest rate based on 3-month Euribor. Interest rate development is continuously monitored. There are no further interest rate risks for PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, as the company no longer has any bank loans and the remaining bonded loans have fixed interest rates.
Liquidity risks: There are no discernible risks of a liquidity bottleneck at present. As at 31 December 2017, PATRIZIA had bank balances and cash in hand amounting to EUR 382.7m and short-term deposits amounting to EUR 202.2m for use in covering its operational liquidity requirements and for refinancing. We also anticipate additional cash surpluses from our operating business, which will be used in investment planning with matching maturities. The equity freed up by disposals also serves to increase the available liquidity. PATRIZIA uses cash pooling to optimise and control its liquidity. Early warning indicators and comprehensive rolling planning are also used as preventive measures and ensure that the company is able to meet unexpected liquidity requirements.
Exchange rate risks: Most of the Group's subsidiaries and property companies are located in the European Monetary Union and hence are not subject to exchange rate risk. One exception is the regional subsidiaries in Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom, which execute asset management mandates and conduct acquisitions and disposals for the funds and as part of co-investments. PATRIZIA had foreign-currency investments of around EUR 67.0m at the reporting date. Since the investments in these companies are made and shareholder loans are granted in the respective local currency, the subsidiaries and property companies are subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. This position could increase further in future as the Group expands outside the euro zone. The Group's overall exchange rate risk is regularly monitored and evaluated in order to immediately identify any need for action and to allow countermeasures such as exchange rate hedging to be initiated.
Legal risks: PATRIZIA is represented in various jurisdictions. Individual companies are involved in various court and arbitration proceedings arising from their business operations. In some cases, out-of-court claims are also asserted against them. We monitor our contractual obligations and consult legal experts on contractual matters in order to minimise any legal risks. Provisions have been recognised for potential losses from pending litigation. The claims asserted exceed the amounts recognised as provisions, in some cases significantly. Following a comprehensive legal appraisal, we consider these claims to be unjustified. With regard to co-investments, there are no contractual risks due to social clauses, for example, as these relate solely to the unconsolidated subsidiaries. Furthermore, no material contractual risks from the investment agreements are discernible.
Third-party business: Opportunities and risks in connection with special real estate funds depend on fee income, the real estate assets under management, acquisitions and disposals, and the yield generated. This income can be negatively affected by property depreciation and impairment, loss of rent and a reduced transaction volume. However, PATRIZIA serves a wide range of different funds and has access to a diverse range of suitable properties in Germany and abroad. As the properties included in the special funds must be backed with corresponding capital, external financing can be obtained quickly and at favourable conditions in this constellation. The level of investment activity is not currently expected to decline. We consider the risk of a reduction in the planned distributions to investors to be extremely low. Moreover, we see the opportunity to attract new investors and expand our fund business thanks to our fund performance and PATRIZIA's reputation. Additional opportunities are presented by the placement of closed-end private investor funds, a business model that went operational at the start of 2016 and has since successfully launched six real estate funds with properties around Europe. As an asset manager, PATRIZIA is also responsible for the management and optimisation of third-party properties. Inadequate service performance could lead to dissatisfaction among investors or financial claims up to and including the loss of orders, with corresponding consequences for the Group's results of operations. For 2018, we are anticipating an extremely low probability of occurrence with minor financial consequences at worst.
Co-investments: PATRIZIA participates in co-investments with its own capital share of up to 10%. Investors and procuring the necessary equity with institutional investors is considered to represent a negligible limiting factor at most, while ensuring the corresponding financing is not seen as a risk. As discussed under "Acquisition and disposal of real estate", the main obstacle at present is acquiring suitable properties that meet the criteria of PATRIZIA and the investors.
Procurement of equity: In light of the high level of investor-side liquidity combined with pressure to invest and the shortage of viable alternatives to real estate investments, we do not believe there is any risk that we will lose business partners/investors or encounter problems in new acquisition. The expansion of our international fund business means PATRIZIA is increasingly dependent on institutional investors, which could put pressure on our margins. However, this is counteracted by our sales strategy. As well as attracting additional institutional investors outside Germany in particular, this increasingly involves addressing private investors in Germany with our closed-end private investors funds. More than 200 institutional investors are now invested via PATRIZIA – from savings banks, insurance companies and pension funds through to sovereign wealth funds. Over 60% of these investors are invested in multiple PATRIZIA products.
Risk management at PATRIZIA is a process that records risk positions, identifies changes in risk and defines appropriate countermeasures. In 2017, as in previous years, PATRIZIA examined the risk evaluation categories for the potential magnitude of losses from all known risks and increased or reduced them as necessary. The risk management system presented above allows PATRIZIA to counter risks at an early stage and take advantage of the opportunities that arise. Taking into account all individual risks and a potential cumulative effect, the overall risk to which PATRIZIA is currently exposed is limited. Based on the information currently available and our medium-term planning for key investments, there are no serious risks that could endanger the future development or continued existence of the company and the Group.
Macroeconomic development: The economic upturn is expected to continue in 2018, with euro zone GDP set to increase by 2.1%. The ECB's announcement that its bond purchase programme will continue, albeit scaled back, is likely to mean that interest rates in Europe remain low. At around 1.4%, inflation is expected to remain largely unchanged compared with 2017. Events such as BREXIT or the Catalan independence movement and the unpredictable consequences of the Trump presidency entail certain risks and could lead to turbulence on the financial markets and adversely affect demand for real estate investments among institutional and private investors.
Development on the European real estate market: The positive development on the European real estate market as a whole is expected to continue in 2018. Investors could intensify their focus on B and C locations, leading to limited product availability in some cases due to rising demand. Development or real estate values is also expected to continue its upward trend in 2018. Limited product availability will remain one of the biggest challenges and will result in further yield compression in absolute terms.

The company has entered the 2018 financial year in a spirit of optimism and expects to successfully exploit market opportunities for its institutional and private investors once again in the form of attractive property fund products. On this basis, PATRIZIA is again anticipating strong transaction performance and growth in assets under management, with fee income from investment management continuing to increase and stabilise as a result.
Assets under management are expected to see organic growth of between EUR 2.0bn and EUR 3.0bn in the 2018 financial year. Taking into account the acquisitions of TRIUVA and Rockspring Property Investment Managers, the company expects its assets under management to increase to just over EUR 40.0bn by the end of 2018.
Including the earnings contributions from the acquired companies, PATRIZIA is forecasting an increase in operating income from EUR 82.2m in 2017 to between EUR 85.0m and EUR 100.0m in 2018.

EUR 82.2m | EUR 85.0–100.0m |
1 including acquisition of Sparinvest Property Investors
2 including acquisition of TRIUVA and Rockspring Property Investment Managers on the basis of pro forma assets under management
Operating income of between EUR 85.0m and EUR 100.0m is expected for 2018. The following section discusses the assumptions and expectations underlying this forecast.
PATRIZIA is anticipating management fees for asset and portfolio management services of between EUR 162.5m and EUR 170.0m. The expected organic growth and the initial consolidation of the acquisitions TRIUVA and Rockspring Property Investment Managers are expected to result in a significant increase of 74–82% compared with 2017.
The company expects the transaction market to remain active in 2018 and is forecasting transaction fees of EUR 55.0–62.5m based on a transaction volume of EUR 4.5–6.5bn.
Income from performance fees is determined by the yields achieved in excess of the agreed target yields. These result from the realisation of value-adding measures in particular. PATRIZIA expects to generate performance fees of between EUR 50.0m and EUR 70.0m in 2018.
Fees from service business are expected to total between EUR 267.5m and EUR 302.5m. In addition, disposals of properties held by the company and co-investments are expected to generate around EUR 39.0m.
Operating costs, which primarily comprise staff costs and non-staff operating expenses, are forecast at between EUR 210.0m and EUR 230.0m. This means the ratio of operating costs to average assets under management is expected to improve from 0.80% in 2017 to between 0.53% and 0.57% in 2018 also as a result of the acquisitions made.
A more precise forecast will be issued in the course of the year based on the company's operating performance.
The consolidation of the acquisitions TRIUVA and Rockspring Property Investment Managers in the course of the financial year will result in changes in the company's net assets and financial position that cannot be described conclusively at present. Even after the consolidation of these two companies, however, PATRIZIA expects to have substantial cash and cash equivalents that are significantly in excess of the liabilities from the bonded loan.
The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG are proposing that the HGB unappropriated profit for the 2017 financial year in the amount of EUR 405.3m be used to pay a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share, with the remaining amount being carried forward to new account. Shareholders will be given the option of receiving the dividend payment in cash or in the form of shares in PATRIZIA Immobilien AG.
Based on the proportion of IFRS consolidated net profit attributable to the shareholders, which amounts to EUR 55.0m for 2017 and shares outstanding as per 31 December 2017 entitled to receive dividends, this corresponds to a distribution of EUR 22.4m, a distribution ratio of 40.7% and profit carried forward of EUR 382.9m.
Based on the assumption that existing treasury shares are owned by third parties at the time of distribution this corresponds to a distribution of EUR 23.1m, a distribution ratio of 42.0% and profit carried forward of EUR 382.2m.
The acquisition of Sparinvest Property Investors, TRIUVA and Rockspring Property Investment Managers will lead to a substantial improvement in PATRIZIA's market positioning, the further internationalisation of its business and a significant increase in stable and sustainable income from property management. With the market environment expected to remain positive, PATRIZIA expects its planned organic growth and the positive influence of the companies acquired to allow it to significantly expand its real estate assets under management and achieve a further increase in operating income.
The outlook for 2018 and the statements concerning subsequent years take into account all events that could affect PATRIZIA's business development that were known when the consolidated financial statements were prepared.

as at 31 December 2017
PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (hereinafter also referred to as PATRIZIA or the Group) is a listed German stock corporation. The registered office of the company is located at Fuggerstrasse 26, 86150 Augsburg.

1 possibly affected by EU endorsement
The International Accounting Standards Board published the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in July 2014.
IFRS 9 introduces a uniform approach to the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard takes cash flow characteristics and the business model by which they are managed as its basis. It also provides for a new impairment model based on the expected loss. IFRS 9 also contains new regulations on the application of hedge accounting to better present the risk management activities of a company, in particular with regard to the management of non-financial risks. However, IFRS 9 does not currently replace the regulations for a portfolio fair value hedge against interest rate risks. The part of the IFRS 9 project that originally dealt with this area is still on the IASB agenda as a separate project named "Macro hedges", as this entails greater time requirements and is not currently expected to be concluded in the near future. The new IFRS 9 is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption was possible. The Group examined the effects that first-time adoption of IFRS 9 will have on the consolidated financial statements of the company in an implementation project in the 2017 financial year. The following IFRS 9 areas were classified as relevant to the company:
PATRIZIA is currently conducting its final assessment of the impact of transition to IFRS 9. It is currently examining whether future fluctuations in value from equity instruments not held for trading are recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.
Taking into account its financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2017, the Group found that the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 for financial assets and liabilities, in particular in relation to the equity investments held, will lead to a positive effect from the first-time adoption of the new standard. The effect on equity amounts to EUR 293.3m and results from the first-time measurement of these equity investments at fair value. In particular, measurement effects will affect potential performance-based profit distribution claims in future. Including as at 31 December 2017, they were measured at cost in accordance with IAS 39.
The first-time adoption of IFRS 9 has no other material effect on other financial assets and liabilities relevant to measurement.
The new expected loss impairment model of IFRS 9 means that impairment losses are recognised earlier and could become more volatile compared to the incurred loss model in accordance with IAS 39. At PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, financial assets measured at amortised cost and financial assets measured in other comprehensive income are subject to the expected loss model of IFRS 9. For lease receivables and trade receivables with financing elements, the Group uses the optional allocation of the financial instruments to level 2 of the impairment model on recognition, and thus the option of exclusively recognising the lifetime expected credit loss.
The analysis found that the adoption of the IFRS 9 impairment model for financial assets as at the time of first-time adoption of IFRS 9 will not result in any significant adjustments compared to the previous impairment model.
As the Group does use hedge accounting as at the end of the reporting period, the IFRS 9 hedge accounting regulations have no effect on the Group.
The Group applies IFRS 9 retrospectively (IAS 8), taking the special transitional provisions of IFRS 9 into account. Accordingly, the previous year's figures are not restated, and instead the effects described are included in retained earnings as at 1 January 2018.
The International Accounting Standards Board published the final version of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers in April 2016.
IFRS 15 creates a comprehensive framework for determining whether, in what way, what amount and when revenue should be recognised. It replaces existing guidance on revenue recognition, such as IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IFRIC 13 Loyalty Programs, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate and IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 is effective for the first time for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018; earlier adoption is permitted.
PATRIZIA carried out a detailed analysis of all relevant contractual relationships with customers as part of a launch project in 2017. The analysis focused on revenue from fees (income from management services, purchase and sales commission and performance fees). Furthermore, rental and leasing revenue and revenue from properties sales were analysed to ensure that the relevant customer contracts are fully covered. Overall, no significant transition effects were identified from the implementation of the requirements of IFRS 15.
On the basis of the above, there is no adjustment to retained earnings in the first comparative period shown (1 January 2017) as at the date of initial adoption 1 January 2018.
The International Accounting Standards Board published the final version of IFRS 16 Leases in January 2016.
IFRS 16 sets out principles for the recognition, measurement, reporting and disclosures in the notes for leases, thus ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant information on the effects of leases.
The adoption of IFRS 16 will change the presentation of expenses in connection with these leases in the consolidated income statement. IFRS 16 replaces the previous operating expenses with write-downs for right-of-use assets and interest expenses with lease liabilities. In future, assets (from the right of use) and liabilities (from the lease obligation) will be shown in the statement of financial position.
The incremental borrowing rate is based on the interest rate that the company would have to use for borrowing under comparable economic conditions.
IFRS 16 also requires detailed disclosures (including on the presentation format). Among other things, qualitative and quantitative information on leasing activities is required to satisfy disclosure requirements.
The standard is effective for the first time for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption of IFRS 16 is permitted for companies that apply IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) as at the time of first-time adoption of IFRS 16.
The Group intends to apply IFRS 16 for the first time as at 1 January 2019.
The following were identified within the Group as relevant leases:
The framework for implementing the requirements of IFRS 16 in SAP is currently being established in an internal project and with the support of an external IT service provider.
The Group intends to use the modified retrospective approach in first-time adoption. The effect of the first-time adoption of this standard will then be recognised in equity as an adjustment to the opening statement of financial position in 2019.
As part of the disclosure initiative, the IASB published amendments to IAS 7 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in January 2016. The amendments demand additional disclosures in the notes on financial liabilities from financing activities with the aim of improving the information on the change in the company's debt. Please refer to section 8 Information on the consolidated statement of cash flows. As the new regulations are to be applied prospectively, no comparative information is required in the year of first adoption.
Also in January 2016, the IASB published amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses. The amendments entail the following clarifications:
The clarifications do not result in any significant changes in the recognition of deferred tax assets in the Group.
The consolidated financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG include the financial statements of the parent company and the companies it controls (its subsidiaries). The company achieves control when:
The company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three criteria for control.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins from the date the company obtains control of the investee and ceases when the company loses control of the investee. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised in the consolidated income statement and in other comprehensive income from the actual date of acquisition or until the actual date of disposal.
All intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full in consolidation.
All companies included in the consolidated financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG are listed in the list of shareholdings (annex to the notes). The subsidiaries shown in the list with a profit transfer agreement – except PATRIZIA WohnInvest Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, PATRIZIA GrundInvest Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH and PATRIZIA GewerbeInvest Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH – use the practical expedient of section 264 (3) HGB. The partnerships also shown in the list of shareholdings use the practical expedient of section 264b HGB.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic arrangement. This exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties that collectively control the arrangement.
An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence. Significant influence is presumed if a direct or indirect share of the voting rights of at least 20% is held in another company. The presumption of significance is rebuttable if, despite a share of voting rights of 20% or more, the ability to influence operating and financial policies is prevented by contractual regulations and the exercisable rights are merely protective rights.
Under the equity method, investments in associates or joint ventures are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, reflecting changes in the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture after the acquisition date. Losses of an associate or joint venture that exceed the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture are not recognised.
The basis of consolidation includes 99 subsidiaries by way of consolidation in addition to the parent company. There are also two equity investments accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. These are a limited liability partnership under UK law and a SICAV (investment company with variable capital) under Luxembourg law. While PATRIZIA has significant influence on the management of the SICAV, it does not control it as it is controlled by the majority investor. Furthermore, there are holdings of 28.3% in the limited liability capital of a project development company (legal form: GmbH&Co. KG) and 30% in the associated general partner (GmbH). There is no significant influence over this company as it cannot be managed or significantly influenced on account of company law regulations and there is no right to make appointments to its executive bodies. The shares in this project development company are recognised at cost.
The reporting dates of the subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are the same as that of the parent company. Their financial statements were prepared using uniform accounting policies.
The number of Group companies included in the consolidated financial statements developed as follows in the reporting period:
| 39 | |
|---|---|
| Group companies | |
| As at 01.01.2017 | 93 |
| Companies acquired | 13 |
| New companies founded | 7 |

| As at 31.12.2017 | 99 |
Transactions material to the Group are explained below under business combinations, disposals and intragroup restructuring.
PATRIZIA Immobilien AG acquired the global fund of funds provider Sparinvest Property Investors (SPI) as part of an M&A transaction by way of purchase agreement notarised on 22 September 2017. The transaction was carried out through the direct subsidiary PATRIZIA Multi Managers Holding A/S by way of acquisition of all shares in the following companies:
| Main activity | Acquisition date | Shares acquired | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PATRIZIA Multi Managers I A/S (formerly SPARINVEST PROPERTY INVESTORS A/S) |

| SPF III MPC I GP ApS | Structured entity | 12.10.2017 | 100% |
The legal and economic transfer of shares occurred after full payment of the purchase price on 12 October 2017.
For reasons of simplification, 1 October 2017 was taken as the date of first-time consolidation.
Based in Copenhagen, the Group is one of the world's leading investment managers for property funds of funds in the small and mid-cap segment. As at 31 December 2017, SPI manages equity amounting to EUR 1.1bn in four different real estate funds of funds with total equity commitments of EUR 1.5bn.
The acquisition has further expanded PATRIZIA's product range for institutional investors.
The Group received the following assets and liabilities:
| 41 | |
|---|---|
| Fair Value in EUR k | |
| Intangible assets | 4,827 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 188 |
| Total non-current assets | 5,015 |
| Trade receivables | 106 |
| Other assets | 81 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1,798 |
| Prepaid expenses | 67 |
| Total current assets | 2,052 |
| Total assets | 7,067 |
| Deferred taxes | 1,075 |
| Total non-current liabilities | 1,075 |
| Current liabilities | 415 |
| Short-term provisions | 456 |
| Total current liabilities | 871 |
| Total equity and liabilities | 1,946 |
| Net assets | 5,121 |
| Goodwill | 6,755 |
| Fair value of consideration transferred as at the acquisition date | 11,876 |
The goodwill will not be tax deductible in future periods.
Except for the fair value adjustments from the realisation of hidden reserves for fund management contracts and the associated adjustment of deferred taxes, the carrying amounts were taken over unchanged. The gross amounts of receivables were equal to the amounts reported; uncollectible amounts were not assumed. There were no other intangible assets that could be recognised in anticipation of future economic benefits.
The fund management contracts assigned to the intangible assets are subject to amortisation over the expected remaining term of the agreements. Amortisation of EUR 193k was recognised in the reporting period.
The fair value of the consideration transferred for the assets and liabilities acquired was EUR 11,876k as at the acquisition date. EUR 1,148k of this was settled by transferring 64,434 shares in PATRIZIA Immobilien AG; the remainder was settled in cash.
The transaction costs amounted to EUR 566k. This expense was recognised in the current financial year and reported in the income statement under other expenses.
| 42 | |
|---|---|
| EUR k | |
| Consideration paid in the form of cash and treasury shares | 11.876 |
| Less cash acquired | −1.798 |
| Total | 10.078 |
The resulting goodwill amounts to EUR 6,755k and is based on the expected new business of the acquired entity.
EUR 41k of the net profit as at 31 December 2017 is attributable to the acquired companies. EUR 962k of the revenues for 2017 result from the business activities of the acquired companies and essentially relates to service revenue.
If the business combination had taken place as at 1 January 2017, the consolidated revenues of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG as at 31 December 2017 would have amounted to EUR 252,374k and its consolidated net profit to EUR 59,051k.
In 2015, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG expanded its range of products to include mutual funds. These companies are to be temporarily included in consolidation in the PATRIZIA Group in the fund formation phase and during the placement of the respective shares. The companies listed below again left the PATRIZIA consolidated group in 2017 with an expense on deconsolidation of EUR 750k.
| Companies – expense on deconsolidation | 43 |
|---|---|
| EUR k | |
| PATRIZIA GrundInvest München Leopoldstraße GmbH&Co. geschlossene Investment-KG | 66 |
| PATRIZIA GrundInvest Mainz Rheinufer GmbH&Co. geschlossene Investment-KG in conjunction with PATRIZIA GrundInvest Objekt Mainz Rheinufer GmbH&Co. KG |
684 |
| Total | 750 |
Furthermore, Deutsche Wohnungsprivatisierungsgesellschaft mbH left the consolidated group in the reporting period. This resulted in income from deconsolidation of EUR 1k.
Various PATRIZIA subsidiaries were merged as intragroup restructuring in the reporting period. The eight companies listed below were merged into Wohnungsgesellschaft Olympia mbH with retrospective effect as at 1 January 2017.
| Company | 44 |
|---|---|
| Date of merger | |
| PATRIZIA Projekt 100 GmbH | 17.08.2017 |
| PATRIZIA Projekt 110 GmbH | 17.08.2017 |

| PATRIZIA Projekt 420 GmbH | 17.08.2017 |
| PATRIZIA Projekt 450 GmbH | 17.08.2017 |
Furthermore, the merger of PATRIZIA Harald GmbH with PATRIZIA Immobilien AG with retroactive effect as at 1 May 2017 preceded the merger of SCAN Deutsche Real Estate Holding GmbH with PATRIZIA Harald GmbH with retroactive effect as at 1 February 2017.
The above restructuring activities were recognised in other comprehensive income within the consolidated financial statements.
All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements by way of consolidation. Acquired subsidiaries have been accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 since 1 January 2002. Acquisitions of interests in companies before this date were effected using the practical expedients of IFRS 1 on the basis of the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the regulations of the German Commercial Code. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value. This is calculated as the total of the fair values, as at the acquisition date, of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed from the former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for the control of the acquiree. Transaction costs associated with the business combination are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins from the date the company obtains control of the investee and ceases when the company loses control of the investee. The cost consists of the cash paid for the acquisition. Goodwill is the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount of all non-controlling interests in the acquiree over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the acquisition date. Any
negative difference – even after reassessment – is recognised in profit and loss. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. This applies even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The equity method is used to present joint ventures and associates in the consolidated financial statements. By contrast to consolidation, the assets, liabilities, expenses and income of the company accounted for using the equity method (pro rata) are not included in the consolidated financial statements when applying the equity method. Instead, the carrying amount of the equity investment is adjusted quarterly in line with the development of the pro rata equity of the investee.
The equity method is applied for the first time when the investee is classified as a joint venture or associate. The cost of the acquired shares is initially compared to the equity attributable to them. Any difference is examined for hidden reserves or hidden liabilities in accordance with consolidation regulations and any remaining difference is accounted for as goodwill or negative goodwill. The carrying amount of the equity investment is adjusted for the pro rata change in equity at the associate in subsequent periods.
Intragroup balances and transactions, gains and expenses of the companies included in consolidation are eliminated in full on consolidation. Deferred taxes are recognised for temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the relevant exchange rates as at the transaction date. In subsequent periods, monetary assets and liabilities are measured as at the end of the reporting period and the resulting translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency and translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
The annual financial statements of the foreign Group companies with a functional currency other than the euro (Group presentation currency) are translated using the modified closing rate method, whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the respective closing rate. Income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate on the day of the transaction. Exchange differences resulting from this are reported separately in equity.
The financial statements included in the consolidated financial statements were prepared using uniform accounting policies.
The goodwill resulting from a business combination is recognised at cost less any impairment and reported separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.
For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (CGUs) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The cash-generating units to which part of the goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually. If there are indications that a CGU is impaired, it is tested more frequently. If the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is initially allocated to the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. The recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell.
Other intangible assets essentially include fund management contracts.
Fund management contracts acquired as part of the business combinations with PATRIZIA GewerbeInvest Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, PATRIZIA UK Ltd. and the business combination with the fund of funds provider Sparinvest Property Investors (SPI) are recognised separately and measured at fair value as at the acquisition date.
In subsequent periods, like individually acquired intangible assets, these fund management contracts are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment.
The amortisation period for the fund management contracts is based on the expected terms of the fund contracts (one to 24 years). The straight-line method was chosen as their development cannot be reliably determined in advance.
Software is carried at cost at the time of acquisition. In subsequent periods, this is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment.
The cost includes the directly attributable acquisition and provision costs.
Software is amortised using the straight-line method. It begins as soon as the asset can be used and ends on expiry of the useful life or disposal of the asset. The amortisation period is based on the expected useful life. Purchased software is amortised over three to ten years.
The qualification of investment property as such is based on a corresponding management resolution to use it to generate rental income and to realise its potential for rent increases and the associated appreciation over a longer period of time. The share used by the company does not exceed 10% of the rental area. Unlike properties reported under inventories, investment property is not intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the construction or development process. It is measured at fair value taking into account the current use, which is the highest and best use. Changes in value affect the results of the Group.
The market value is the fair value. Fair value is measured in accordance with IFRS 13 and is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This definition has the same content as the definition of market value in accordance with section 194 of the Baugesetzbuch (BauGB – German Federal Building Code). This estimate specifically excludes price assumptions inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances.
The residential privatisation process for investment property was initiated in previous years and successfully continued in 2017. The properties are valued internally using a detailed project calculation. The key inputs used in this valuation include comparative values from market transactions within the property or its immediate environment, in addition to assumptions regarding the realisation period, potential types of buyer and intended renovation and modernisation measures yet to be implemented.
Fair value measurement of investment property is therefore allocated to level 3 of the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. The values calculated are entry prices as defined by IFRS 13, hence the deduction of buyer-side transaction costs is not required in this case.
As at the end of the reporting period, properties with a total area of 8,438 m² (including 4,469 m² of approved building rights) with an average selling price of EUR 2,121 per square metre are planned for privatisation. In the event of a change in this average potential selling price per square metre, the fair value calculated would be altered accordingly (example: If the average selling price per square metre increases by EUR 100, this would result in an increase in fair value of EUR 807k).
All investment property held by the Group is let. The resulting rental income and the directly related expenses are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Equipment is carried at cost at the time of acquisition. In subsequent periods, this is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.
The cost includes the directly attributable acquisition and provision costs.
Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method. It begins as soon as the asset can be used and ends on disposal of the asset. The depreciation period is based on the expected useful life. Operating and office equipment is depreciated over three to thirteen years. Low-value assets are written off in full in the year of acquisition.
If there is an indication of impairment, assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are tested for impairment. If the reason for impairment no longer applies, the impairment loss is reversed. Assets that are not subject to amortisation or depreciation are tested for impairment as at the end of each reporting period.
PATRIZIA WohnModul I SICAV-FIS, and the acquisition of a 50% participation in Ask PATRIZIA (GQ) LLP (Gateshead joint venture) by the subsidiary PATRIZIA GQ Limited, constitute associated companies for PATRIZIA. Associates are companies in which PATRIZIA has significant influence on the financial and operating policies (usually on account of direct or indirect voting rights of between 20% and 50%). They are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
PATRIZIA's share of the results of the associate is recognised in the consolidated income statement after acquisition. The cumulative changes after the acquisition date increase or reduce the carrying amount of the associated company. If PATRIZIA's share of the losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, no further shares of losses are recognised. Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
The interest in an associate is the carrying amount of the equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the owner's net investment in the associate. At the end of each reporting period, PATRIZIA checks for objective evidence of impairment on its investment in the associate. If there is such evidence, PATRIZIA calculates the impairment requirement as the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of the associated company. Any remaining interests are remeasured at fair value when significant influence is lost. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate and the fair value of the remaining interest, plus any proceeds from the sale, is recognised in profit or loss.
Participations are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. They are measured at cost as, given the absence of an active market, it would only be possible to determine their fair value through actual sales negotiations. There is no intention to sell these instruments at this time. The Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as at the end of each reporting period.
Property intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or acquired for development and resale is reported under "Inventories". Development also includes purely modernisation and renovation work. Such properties are assessed and qualified as inventories in the context of the purchase decision, and this is implemented accordingly in financial reporting as at the acquisition date.
PATRIZIA has defined a normal operating cycle as three years, as experience shows that a majority of the units intended for sale are sold in this time. However, it is still intended to sell inventories directly even if they are not sold within three years (e.g. due to unforeseen or foreseen changes in economic conditions).
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the directly attributable acquisition and provision costs, including in particular the cost of properties in addition to incidental costs of acquisition (notary fees, etc.). Cost also includes the costs directly attributable to the property development process, including renovation costs in particular. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Borrowing costs not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised as an expense when incurred. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the renovation and modernisation costs and the costs to make the sale.
IAS 39 distinguishes between the following four categories of financial instruments:
Financial assets are reported in the statement of financial position when the company becomes party to an agreement for these assets. Standard market purchases of financial assets, in which only a brief, standard period passes between the obligation being entered into and being fulfilled, are generally recognised as at the trade date. This also applies accordingly to standard sales.
There were no held-to-maturity financial assets or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss as at the end of the reporting period.
Equity investments acquired with the intention of holding them are assigned to the available-for-sale financial assets category (see 3.8). For available-for-sale financial assets, the Group assesses as at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A "significant" or "prolonged" decline in the fair value of equity instruments held for sale below their cost constitutes objective evidence of impairment.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted on an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent reporting period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed in profit or loss.
If there is objective evidence for trade receivables that not all amounts due will be received according to the originally agreed invoice terms (such as probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor), an impairment loss is recognised using an allowance account. Receivables are derecognised when they are classified as uncollectible.
The cash and cash equivalents shown in the statement of financial position comprise cash in hand and bank balances with an original term of less than three months.
Interest-bearing loans are initially measured at fair value less any transaction costs directly attributable to borrowing. They are not designated as at amortised cost. After first-time recognition, interest-bearing loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.
A financial asset (or part of a financial asset or part of a group of financial assets) is derecognised when the requirements of IAS 39 are met.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
If a financial liability is exchanged for a different financial liability to the same lender with substantially different terms or if the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially changed, such an exchange or change of terms is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
Defined benefit pension plans are measured using the projected unit credit method on the basis of an actuarial pension report. Retirement benefit obligations in the statement of financial position are calculated from the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period. The Group recognises actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension plans in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. As it is immaterial, the interest component of the pension expense is shown under staff costs and not in net finance costs.
Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. The recognition of a provision requires a present obligation arising from a past event, that a corresponding outflow of resources is probable and that the amount of this outflow of resources can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured as the best possible estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are discounted where the effect of the time value of money is material.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities for the current and earlier period are measured at the amount expected to be refunded by the tax authority/paid to the tax authority. The calculation of this amount is based on the tax rates and tax laws in effect as at the end of the reporting period.
Tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and these relate to the same taxable entity and taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
Deferred taxes are recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base using the liability method as at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax loss carryforwards and unused tax credits to the extent that it is likely that future taxable income will be generated against which these deductible temporary differences and the unutilised tax loss and interest carryforwards and unused tax credits can be offset.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is assessed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be at least partially utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are assessed at the end of each reporting period and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. The tax rates and tax laws in effect as at the end of the reporting period apply. Future tax rate changes are taken into account at the end of the reporting period if material effectiveness requirements have been met in legislation.
Deferred taxes on items recognised in other comprehensive income are not recognised in the income statement but rather in other comprehensive income as well.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and these relate to the same taxable entity and income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
Borrowing costs that relate to the production of a qualifying asset are capitalised. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. This requirement is fulfilled by all project developments carried out by the Group. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
Determining whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement as at the time it is entered into. This requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are not transferred from the lessor to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Contingent rents are recognised as income in the period in which they are generated.
The basic requirement for the recognition of profits when selling properties is the probability of the inflow of benefits and the reliable quantification of the proceeds. In addition, there must be a transfer of the substantial risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets to the purchaser, a surrender of legal or actual control of the goods and it must be possible to measure reliably the costs incurred or to be incurred for the sale.
Revenue from services is usually recognised after service has been rendered and the invoice issued.
When preparing consolidated financial statements, to a certain extent assumptions and estimates are made that affect the amount and reporting of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and contingent assets and liabilities in the period under review. Estimation involves judgements based on the latest available, reliable information. The assets, liabilities, income, expenses and contingent assets and liabilities recognised on the basis of estimates can differ from the amounts recognised in future. Changes are taken into account when new information is available. Estimates are essentially made for the following:
Assumptions made for the valuation of property portfolios could subsequently prove to be partially or wholly inaccurate, or there could be unexpected problems or undetected risks in connection with property portfolios. Such developments, which are also possible at short notice, could negatively affect the result of operations, reduce the value of the assets acquired and significantly reduce revenues generated from the privatisation of apartments and current rents. In addition to the specific factors for each property, the recoverability of property assets is primarily determined by the development of the property market and the general economic situation. There is the risk that the Group's valuations would have to be corrected in the event of a negative development on the property market or in the general economic situation.
The breakdown and development in non-current assets, and amortisation and depreciation, in the financial year and the previous year are shown below:
The PATRIZIA Group has recognised goodwill of EUR 7,366k (previous year: EUR 610k). The goodwill will not be deductible in future tax periods, and is therefore treated as a permanent difference in the calculation of deferred taxes. The goodwill has been allocated to the following cash-generating units:
The Group tests these figures for impairment once per year in accordance with IAS 36.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined by calculating the value in use on the basis of cash flow forecasts from the financial budget approved by the Managing Board for a period of two years and using costs of capital before income taxes specific to the CGU for PATRIZIA GewerbeInvest Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH of 9.65% (previous year: 6.60%). The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) was used to discount the cash flows. The cash flow forecasts take into account past experience and are based on management estimates of future developments and external economic data.
The cash flows of the fund management contracts of PATRIZIA GewerbeInvest Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH are calculated on the basis of approved ongoing corporate planning. The planning horizon is two years. An annual earnings growth rate of 1.0% is assumed for the years thereafter.
The impairment test did not give rise to any impairment requirement as the recoverable amount significantly exceeds the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit. These premises and the underlying method can have a significant influence on the respective values and ultimately on the amount of possible goodwill impairment.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined by calculating the value in use on the basis of transaction planning for a period of four years and using costs of capital before income taxes specific to the CGU for PATRIZIA Multi Managers Holding A/S of 8.45%.
The cash flow series for PATRIZIA Multi Managers Holding A/S are calculated on the basis of the current transaction planning for four years. An annual growth rate of 1.0% is assumed for the financial years thereafter.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) was used to discount the cash flows. The impairment test did not give rise to any impairment requirement as the recoverable amount significantly exceeds the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit. These premises and the underlying method can have a significant influence on the respective values and ultimately on the amount of possible goodwill impairment.

There are still seven investment properties in Mannheim and Munich as at the end of the reporting period.
On the basis of the fair value of the portfolio as a whole as at 31 December 2017, the average fair value is EUR 1,985 (previous year: EUR 2,177) per square metre, with a multiplier of 19 (previous year: 25) in relation to the target rent. The change in these average values is due to further sales from the portfolio.
The positive change in market value in the 2017 financial year results from the inclusion of building rights that were notarised in the course of the reporting period.
As at 31 December 2017, there were no longer any loan agreements for which investment property was pledged.
Investment property gave rise to rental revenues of EUR 558k (previous year: EUR 806k) and a cost of materials of EUR 39k (previous year: EUR 1,139k) in the reporting period.

Loans were repaid as well as granted as a result of investments in and divestments of non-current investment securities.
The non-current tax assets of EUR 35k from the previous year were repaid in full in the reporting period.
Current tax assets of EUR 9,098k (previous year: EUR 11,941k) are essentially recognised for receivables due to excess payment of taxes and refunds of capital gains tax in the financial year.

The "Properties in the development phase" item includes the Trocoll House property, which was acquired by a subsidiary of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG in Greater London in the previous year.
There are no pledges as no mortgage loans had been taken out as at the end of the reporting period (previous year: EUR 41,760k).
The decline in inventories of EUR 83,140k results from the disposal of properties following the deconsolidation of PATRIZIA GrundInvest München Leopoldstraße GmbH&Co. geschlossene Investment-KG and from sales from the privatisation portfolio.

Since issuing a bonded loan of EUR 300,000k on 22 May 2017, PATRIZIA now has further liquidity available for the international expansion and ongoing development of the company.
Cash funds were invested in short-term, money market securities in the context of active liquidity management. An amount of EUR 5,000k was invested in short-term securities. These are reported separately in the statement of financial position. A further amount of EUR 197,000k was invested in short-term term deposits with a maturity of more than 90 days.

Following the issue of bonus shares, share buybacks and the sale of shares, the share capital of the company amounts to EUR 89,555,059 (previous year: EUR 83,955,887) as at the end of the reporting period and is divided into 89,555,059 (previous year: 83,955,887) no-par-value registered shares.
By way of resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 16 June 2016, the Managing Board of the company was authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the share capital by up to EUR 37,000,000 in total by issuing new registered shares against cash or non-cash contributions on one or more occasions by 15 June 2021 (Authorised Capital 2016/I). The Managing Board is authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to disapply shareholders' statutory pre-emption rights in certain cases. The full authorisation derives from Article 4(3) of the Articles of Association.
Moreover, the Managing Board of the company was authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the share capital by up to EUR 1,000,000 in total by issuing new registered shares against cash contributions on one or more occasions by 15 June 2021 for the purpose of issuing them to employees of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG and its affiliates (Authorised Capital 2016/II). The full authorisation derives from Article 4(3a) of the Articles of Association.
Furthermore, the Managing Board is authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to issue convertible bonds, bonds with warrants, profit participation certificates, participating bonds or combinations of these instruments, dated or undated, of a nominal amount of up to EUR 950,000,000, and to grant the creditors or bearers of bonds conversion or option rights to shares in the company of a pro rata amount of share capital of up to EUR 41,800,000 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective convertible bonds, bonds with warrants, profit participation certificates or participating bonds on one or more occasions by 15 June 2021. Details can be found in Article 4(4) of the Articles of Association.
First Capital Partner GmbH holds 47,755,907 no-par-value shares in PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (previous year: 43,333,938), corresponding to a shareholding of 51.71% (previous year: 51.62%). The increase results from the issue of bonus shares in the 2017 financial year and the reversal of a securities lending agreement in connection with the designated sponsoring of the shares of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG.
The capital reserves of EUR 129,545k as at 31 December 2017 (previous year: EUR 184,005k) declined by EUR 54,460k in the reporting period.
The capital reserves were reduced by EUR 8,396k (previous year: EUR 7,632k) in connection with the issue of bonus shares in the 2017 financial year. The capital reserves were also reduced by EUR 47,148k by the two share buybacks in 2017. Offsetting this, the disposal of treasury shares for the acquisition of the fund of funds provider Sparinvest Property Investors (SPI) increased this item by EUR 1,083k.
The legal reserves of EUR 505k are reported under retained earnings (previous year: EUR 505k).
The Managing Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG resolved to acquire treasury shares in the reporting period. PATRIZIA therefore launched a public share buyback offer with an acceptance period that ended on 7 September 2017. A subsequent share buyback programme was completed on 30 October 2017. PATRIZIA sold treasury shares in the course of the acquisition of the fund of funds provider Sparinvest Property Investors (SPI).

There were non-controlling interests of EUR 1,691k as at 31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: EUR 1,691k).
Non-controlling interests were allocated a profit share of EUR 3,895k in the reporting period, which was withdrawn in full as at the end of the reporting period.
These are payments to non-controlling interests, some of whom are also employed by the company.
Other non-controlling interests are classified as immaterial by PATRIZIA.

Owing to the uncertainty of the dissolution of the tax group, deferred tax assets were not recognised for losses prior to joining the tax group of EUR 390k (previous year: EUR 514k). The losses can be carried forward indefinitely.
In addition, deferred tax assets were not recognised for corporation tax loss carryforwards of EUR 80,394k (previous year: EUR 67,617k) at eleven companies (previous year: ten companies) as their eligibility for tax purposes is uncertain. These losses can be carried forward indefinitely.
The temporary differences from equity investments in subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes were recognised amount to EUR 91,966k (previous year: EUR 66,689k).
The Group has no defined benefit plans. There are exceptions to this for plans that were taken on in the past in connection with acquisitions. There were defined benefit obligations for seven persons in total as at the end of the reporting period. Four of these persons are retired and already receive ongoing pension benefits. A discount rate of 1.47% (previous year: 1.50% to 1.66%) and a pension trend of 2.0% (previous year: 2.0%) were used for the reference opinions prepared in accordance with IAS 19 as at 31 December 2017. The projected unit credit method was used as the calculation method. The calculations were based on the 2005 G Heubeck mortality tables. Pension provisions were recognised in the amount of EUR 776k as at 31 December 2017 (previous year: EUR 648k). Given the low amount of annual pension payments (EUR 26 thousand; previous year: EUR 16k) and thus the low value of pension provisions, pension provisions are considered immaterial in the consolidated financial statements. A breakdown of the changes in pension provisions has therefore been dispensed with. As at the end of the reporting period, there were no plan assets, no unrecognised actuarial losses and no unrecognised past service cost. The interest expense is reported under staff costs.
The employer's contribution to pension insurance (German subsidiaries) amounts to EUR 2,848k in the current financial year (previous year: EUR 3,575k).
The maturity profile of financial liabilities is as follows:

| Total financial Liabilities | 5,000 | 54,450 | 0 | 20,750 | 80,200 |
Financial liabilities amounted to EUR 322,000k in total as at 31 December 2017.
The change in financial liabilities as against the previous year is essentially due to the bonded loan of EUR 300,000k issued in the second quarter of 2017 and the deconsolidation of the companies PATRIZIA GrundInvest Mainz Rheinufer GmbH&Co. geschlossene Investment-KG and PATRIZIA GrundInvest Objekt Mainz Rheinufer GmbH &Co. KG. Furthermore, the equity bridge loan granted by PATRIZIA Immobilien AG to PATRIZIA GrundInvest Den Haag Wohnen GmbH&Co. geschlossene Investment-KG, which was sold in 2016, was repaid in full.
Two bonded loans were reported as at the end of the reporting period. The bonded loan of EUR 22,000k (maturing 30 June 2018) is reported under current liabilities.
The bonded loan of EUR 300,000k issued in the second quarter of 2017 is divided into three tranches with terms of five, seven and ten years. This bonded loan is recognised under non-current liabilities.
62
Non-current liabilities of EUR 9,062k (previous year: EUR 6,866k) essentially consist of the long-term component of the management participation model, which is described in more detail under note 9.2.

The provisions for employee benefits listed under other provisions relate to holiday not taken, employer's liability insurance contributions and the compensation levy for non-employment of the severely handicapped.
The reorganisation provisions were recognised for the implementation of a reorganisation project within the reporting period. These are essentially staff provisions for time off work and severance pay.
The financial assets of the Group essentially comprise trade receivables, other assets and bank balances. The Group is exposed to risk of default in these classes. The Group's risk of default predominantly results from trade receivables. Receivables have been written down where such risks are discernible. For trade receivables, there is collateral for outright sales in the form of a right to reclaim the properties sold in the event of default by the investor. When selling individual apartments, ownership is transferred only after the purchase price has been paid in full, hence there is no risk of default here.
Bank balances are kept at multiple banks of good credit standing for the purposes of risk diversification.
The Group's material liabilities comprise bonded loans, trade payables and other liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's business activities.
The key risks to the Group arising from financial instruments include cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity, credit and market risks (including exchange rate risks).
The transactions of the international branches in Denmark, Sweden and the UK are performed in the respective national currencies, which gives rise to exchange rate risks. Such risks could increase as the Group continues its expansion outside the euro area. The Group's overall currency risk is regularly monitored and assessed in order to identify any need for action early on and to take countermeasures such as currency hedging.
Interest rate risks are avoided or minimised by agreeing fixed interest rates and by active liquidity management.
On the basis of the ECB's ongoing low interest rate policy and PATRIZIA's own assessments of the overall economic situation in Europe, financing is currently being raised without interest rate hedging instruments. The Group is thus exposed to interest rate risk from financial liabilities.
There is currently no clustering of risks within the Group thanks to its broad counterparty structure.
For other financial assets of the Group, such as cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial investments, the maximum credit risk in the event of counterparty default is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
The Group uses liquidity planning to monitor the risk of a liquidity bottleneck on an ongoing basis. This liquidity planning takes into account the terms of the financial liabilities and expected cash flows from operating activities.
The Group's goal is to ensure the consistent coverage of funding requirements by using overdrafts and loans.
The maturity structure of financial liabilities is shown under note 5.4.
The Group monitors its capital structure using its equity and net equity ratios. The equity ratio is the ratio of equity (not including non-controlling interests) and total assets. The net equity ratio is calculated by dividing equity (not including non-controlling interests) by net total assets (total assets less interest-bearing loans and bonded loans covered by cash in hand). Net financial liabilities comprise all liabilities, except deferred tax liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits.

In accordance with IAS 33.64, the weighted number of shares was adjusted from 83,955,887 to 89,555,059 for the same period of the previous year. It was assumed that the intra-year weighted number of shares for 2016 is the same as 2017.
In the reporting period, the weighted number of shares increased by 8,395,589 due to the issue of bonus shares and decreased by 2,796,417 as a result of the share buyback/sale described in 5.1.4 Treasury shares.
Segment reporting categorises the segments according to whether PATRIZIA acts as an investor or a service provider. In line with the Group's reporting for management purposes and in accordance with the definition of IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", two segments have been identified based on functional criteria: Investments and Management Services. In addition to functional criteria, the operating segments are also broken down by geographical criteria based on the location of the property asset under management. The individual international subsidiaries are reported collectively as their revenue and earnings contributions are still low.
In addition, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (Group management) and the management of the international subsidiaries are shown under Corporate. Corporate is not a reportable operating segment in its own right, but is shown separately on account of its international function as an internal service provider.
The elimination of intragroup revenues, intercompany transactions and intragroup transfers is shown in the "Consolidation" column. All internal services within a country between the Investments and Management Services segments on the one hand and PATRIZIA Immobilien AG on the other are consolidated in the "Group" column. This represents the external service provided by the Group in the region. By contrast, the international exchange of services is eliminated in the "Consolidation" row.
The Investments segment bundles principal investments and participations.
The Management Services segment covers a broad range of property services such as the acquisition and sale of residential and commercial properties or portfolios, property management, value-oriented property management (asset management), strategic consulting on investment strategy, portfolio planning and allocation (portfolio management) and the execution of complex, non-standard investments (alternative investments). Special funds are set up and managed through the Group's own asset management companies – also according to individual investor requests. The commission generated from services, from both co-investments and third-party business, is reported in the Management Services segment. This also includes income from participations that takes the form of services rendered as a shareholder contribution for the asset management of the co-investment GBW.
The range of services provided by the Management Services segment is increasingly utilised by third parties as assets under management grow.
Internal controlling and reporting in the PATRIZIA Group is based on IFRS principles. The Group measures the success of its segments using segment earnings indicators, which are referred to for the purpose of internal controlling and reporting as EBT and operating EBT.
Segment EBT is the net total of revenues, income from the sale of investment property, changes in inventories, the cost of materials and staff costs, the cost of purchased services, other operating income and expenses, reorganisation expenses, changes in the value of investment property, depreciation and amortisation, net income from participations (including companies accounted for using the equity method), net financial income and the result from currency translation.
Certain adjustments are made to calculate operating EBT, namely for non-cash effects from the valuation of investment property, exchange rate effects, write-downs on fund management contracts and reorganisation expenses. Realised changes in value from the sale of investment property and realised exchange rate effects are added to this.
Revenue is generated between reportable segments. These intragroup transactions are settled at market prices.
Owing to its capital intensity, the assets and liabilities of the Investments segment account for most of the Group's total assets and liabilities. A breakdown of assets and liabilities by individual segments has therefore been dispensed with.
The individual operating segments are set out below. The reporting of amounts in thousands of euro can result in rounding differences. However, individual items are calculated on the basis of non-rounded figures.

The statement of cash flows was prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 7.
In the statement of cash flows, cash flows are presented according to cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from financing activities. The effects of changes in the consolidated group are eliminated in the respective items. The cash flow from operating activities was calculated using the indirect method.
The cash flow from investing activities contains the effects of investments and disposals, in particular relating to investment securities, investment property and property, plant and equipment.
"Payments for the disposal of consolidated companies and other business units" essentially shows cash outflows due to the deconsolidation of closed-end private investor funds (placement of shares).
Payments for acquisitions are also reported under "Payments for the acquisition of consolidated companies and other business units" in addition to intra-year acquisitions of subsidiaries.
The cash flow from financing activities includes loan receipts and repayments for the financing of current and noncurrent assets.

Financial liabilities developed as follows over the year:
As in the previous year, no cash dividend was distributed in the reporting year.
The Group has no defined benefit plans. There are exceptions to this for plans that were taken on in the past in connection with acquisitions. There were defined benefit obligations for seven persons in total as at the end of the reporting period. Four of these persons are retired and already receive ongoing pension benefits. In addition, there are defined benefit pension plans for the Managing Board in the form of a provident fund. The Group pays set contributions to an independent entity (fund) in this context. This pension benefit involves a risk of subsidiary liability for the Group if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The commitment of the provident fund is reinsured. The commitment was granted in 2003. A total of EUR 56.5k (previous year: EUR 70.9k) was paid in contributions to the provident fund in 2017.
The employees of the Group essentially have mandatory statutory pension insurance and are therefore covered by a state defined contribution scheme. Under this pension scheme, the Group has neither a legal nor constructive obligation to pay further contributions. Contributions as part of defined contribution pension systems are paid in the year in which the employee has rendered service in exchange for those contributions.
Since 1 January 2002, employees have had the statutory right to deferred compensation of up to 4% per year of the contribution limit for statutory pension insurance. The Group has concluded a collective framework agreement with an external pension fund for this purpose.
PATRIZIA Immobilien AG's management participation model focuses on the aspects of market conformity, performance and sustainability. It was developed in line with the requirements of the German Corporate Governance Code.
The fundamental requirement of PATRIZIA's management participation model is a consistent target system the supports the company's strategy. It is based on a long-term, multi-dimensional and neutral approach. The system assigns quantitative and qualitative targets at company, division and individual levels to members of the Managing Board and members of first line management. The first line consists of direct reports to the Managing Board and managing directors in Germany.
The degree to which the quantitative targets are achieved is determined by reference to projected figures in line with company planning. In particular, key targets are consolidated net income before taxes for the past financial year, not including changes in the market value of investment property, interest rate hedging instruments, unrealised currency gains and losses and reorganisation expenses, also not taking into account amortisation on fund management contracts that were transferred as part of the acquisition of PATRIZIA GewerbeInvest Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, PATRIZIA UK Ltd. and the fund of funds provider Sparinvest Property Investors (SPI), and including realised fair value increases. This adjusted EBT is disclosed in PATRIZIA's financial reports as operating EBT. Another target criterion is the development of the share of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG in relation to the benchmark index.
At division level, the basic structure of PATRIZIA's provision of services is mapped in the form of value contributions to processes and the interdependencies among process participants. Members of the Managing Board and the first line involved in the provision of services or qualitative projects are set common targets.
At individual level, the quantitative results or qualitative project results for which members of the Managing Board and the first line are individually responsible are taken into account.
The degree to which the individual targets are achieved determines the amount of the variable remuneration component. The amount of the variable remuneration components possible is capped. Members of the Managing Board and the first line lose their entire variable remuneration component if the Group achieves less than two thirds of the planned operating income as defined above.
The variable share of remuneration is divided into a long-term and a short-term incentive component. The short-term incentive is paid out immediately after it has been established that targets have been achieved. The long-term incentive is a salary commitment with a virtual link to the share price of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG. It is only paid out two or three years after confirmation that targets have been achieved.
A long-term incentive of EUR 1,971k (previous year: EUR 2,184k) was taken into account for the first and second management levels for the 2017 financial year. This corresponds to the liability recognised on the basis of target achievement of 140% and 150% in individual cases (previous year: 150%). The final calculation can only be made after all data required for the calculation is known, which is only the case after the consolidated financial statements have been approved. The monetary amount earned is converted into performance share units at the average Xetra price for shares of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG for the 30 days prior to and 15 days after 31 December of the financial year in question. The equivalent value of the shares (adjusted for bonus shares) is paid out in cash at the average Xetra price 30 days prior to and after 31 December of the second/third year (vesting period).
Based on the 30 days prior to and 15 days after 31 December 2017, the average price of PATRIZIA's shares is EUR 19.68983, thus amounting to 100,089 shares for 2017.

Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Combined Management Report
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of To PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, Augsburg, and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2017 as well as the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In addition, we have audited the combined management report of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2017. In accordance with the German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of those parts of the combined management report as specified in the Chapter "Other information" of our independent auditor's report.
In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit
Pursuant to Section 322 (3) Sentence 1 German Commercial Code (HGB), we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the consolidated financial statements and of the combined management report.
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements and of the combined management report in accordance with Section 317 German Commercial Code (HGB) and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537/2014; referred to subsequently as "EU Audit Regulation") and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Our responsibilities under those requirements and principles are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Combined Management Report" section of our auditor's report. We are independent of the group entities in accordance with the requirements of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addition, in accordance with Article 10(2) Point (f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services prohibited under Article 5(1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the combined management report..
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2017. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in forming our audit opinion thereon; we do not provide a separate audit opinion on these matters.
In the following we present the key audit matters we have determined in the course of our audit:
Our presentation of these key audit matters has been structured as follows:
a) In the consolidated financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, shares in companies totalling EUR 178,019k are reported in the statement of financial position items "Participations" and "Participations in associated companies"; this corresponds to around 14% of total assets. They are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the case of permanent impairment. PATRIZIA Immobilien AG reviewed the recoverability of these participations at the reporting date on the basis of various indicators as well as an analysis of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the respective participations, taking current business planning into account.
The assessment of the legal representatives with regard to the recoverability of the reported participations is subject to uncertainty and any depreciations would have a significant impact on net profit and the equity ratio. In light of this fact, the recoverability of participations, including participations in associated companies, was classified as a key audit matter for our audit of the financial statements.
The disclosures on the measurement of participations, including participations in associated companies, are contained in sections 3.7, 3.8., 4.1.6 and 4.1.7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
b) As part of our audit of participations, including participations in associated companies, we audited the procedure for reviewing the recoverability of participations by PATRIZIA Immobilien AG for significant participations. In cases where indicators of impairment were identified in particular, we examined the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the respective participations in detail, taking into account the findings obtained in our audit of the annual financial statements of these companies. We also conducted a critical review of the current business planning of these companies. Based on the company valuations presented to us, we firstly assessed whether the fair values were calculated properly and in accordance with the relevant valuation standards. Amongst others, we satisfied ourselves as to the appropriateness of the future cash flows applied in the calculation by comparing them with current Group planning and asking the legal representatives about the significant assumptions underlying this planning. We also performed a comparison with general and industry-specific market expectations.
a) In the consolidated financial statements of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, properties held for resale in the normal course of business are reported in the statement of financial position item "Inventories" in the amount of EUR 99,791k; this corresponds to around 8% of total assets. This is a quantitatively important item, and the valuation of properties held as inventories is based in part on estimates and assumptions by the legal representatives that are subject to uncertainty, and any write-downs would have a significant impact on net profit and the equity ratio. As such, we classified this as a key audit matter for our audit of the financial statements.
The disclosures by the legal representatives of the parent company on the valuation of real estate assets are contained in sections 3.9 and 4.3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
b) Within our examination of the appropriateness of the valuation technique applied in each case, we examined the appropriateness of the corresponding organisational and operational structure and the effectiveness of the auditrelated controls established. This relates in particular to the process of real estate valuation and the corresponding controls. With regard to valuation, our examination concentrated in particular on the appropriateness of the estimates of future and expected market prices on the real estate market by reference to comparable transactions, market surveys or existing business plans.
The legal representatives are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
Our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the combined management report do not cover the other information, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion or any other form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in so doing, to consider whether the other information
The legal representatives are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Section 315e (1) German Commercial Code (HGB) and that the consolidated financial statements, in compliance with these requirements, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position, and financial performance of the Group. In addition, the legal representatives are responsible for such internal control as they have determined necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the legal representatives are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based on the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Furthermore, the legal representatives are responsible for the preparation of the combined management report that, as a whole, provides an appropriate view of the Group's position and is, in all material respects, consistent with the consolidated financial statements, complies with German legal requirements, and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addition, the legal representatives are responsible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as they have considered necessary to enable the preparation of a combined management report that is in accordance with the applicable German legal requirements, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the assertions in the combined management report.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and of the combined management report.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the combined management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Group's position and, in all material respects, is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and the knowledge obtained in the audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development, as well as to issue an auditor's report that includes our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the combined management report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Section 317 German Commercial Code (HGB) and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) will always detect a material misstatement. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements and this combined management report.
We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the relevant independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
We were elected as group auditor by the annual general meeting on 22 June 2017. We were engaged by the supervisory board on 19 September 2017. We have been the group auditor of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG, Augsburg, without interruption since the financial year 2005.
We declare that the audit opinions expressed in this auditor's report are consistent with the additional report to the audit committee pursuant to Article 11 of the EU Audit Regulation (long form audit report).
The German Public Auditor responsible for the engagement is Stephan Mühlbauer.
