Dear Shareholders,

In the third quarter of 2013, S IMMO AG continued to work successfully on your behalf: Our excellent results are in line with the targets that we have set for the current year. Whilst as expected our property portfolio was reduced by more than 4% since the beginning of the year as a result of the planned property sales, rental income decreased by only 1.3%. Once again, we were successful in raising financial indicators such as gross profit, EBT and funds from operations as compared with the same period last year. Overall, the net profit for the period increased by 5.2% to EUR 21.4m.

Our expectations for our markets for the rest of the current financial year remain unchanged. Whereas the residential property market in Berlin is still booming, the office property market in the German capital is beginning to recover. The residential property bubble so frequently discussed by the media in recent weeks is not something we can see, as properties are largely financed with equity in Germany – like in Austria – and the mainspring of real estate investment continues to be capital preservation and not exaggerated yield expectations. Our home market Vienna remains stable, as are the markets in Prague and Bratislava. The office property market in Budapest, however, which represents roughly 5% of S IMMO AG's portfolio, remains particularly difficult. Bucharest and Sofia appear to be bottoming out, with the Romanian capital recovering significantly more rapidly and more sustainably. Our investment focus in the coming quarters will be predominantly on Berlin and Vienna. In the medium to long term, though, we see growth potential in the markets of Central and Southeastern Europe.

There are also successes to report in the capital markets. Numerous investor meetings in Frankfurt, Munich, London and for the first time in Warsaw are confirming our impression: Capital markets are picking up steam, and securities with Eastern European content are becoming interesting again. The S IMMO Share has also benefited after moving mainly sideways in the first nine months. An upwards trend has become noticeable since October with respect to the share price and the traded volumes. This encouraging development is being supported by two new analysts' coverage reports – both buy recommendations – underlining the S IMMO Share's potential. The average Share price target of the six analysts is EUR 5.915. As this quarterly report went to press on 18 November 2013, the closing price of the S IMMO Share was EUR 5.075.

The Management Board: Ernst Vejdovszky and Friedrich Wachernig

As was already the case in the reporting period, we are expecting performance in the fourth quarter to be strong as well. For the financial year 2013 as a whole, we anticipate better results than in 2012, which leads us to expect that a further increase in the dividend will be justified. All in all, we see ourselves as very well positioned for the year 2014.

Our Share

In the first three quarters of 2013, European stock markets were influenced by the familiar crisis scenarios – debt crises in Greece and Cyprus, the political situation and election outcome in Italy, or France slipping into a recession. Fiscal and budget issues in the USA and a possible attack on Syria also impacted the capital markets. As a result, stock markets fell back sharply, while the bond and gold markets rose. The continuing expansive monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve Bank did, however, lead to a slight improvement in the stock markets. The continued low interest rates also increased the attractiveness of investing in shares.

Share price development

indexed (01.01.2013 to 30.09.2013)

Overall, global stock market performance was positive, and some indexes recorded all-time highs. In September, the leading German index DAX reached its all-time high, but closed the third quarter slightly lower at 8,594.40 points. The leading US index Dow Jones Industrial Index (DJII) closed the third quarter at 15,129.70 points. The GPR 250 Global, which comprises the 250 biggest listed property shares, improved by 8.2% over the last nine months. The GPR 250 Europe, which contains only 37 European property shares, grew by 6.3%. However, it should be noted that German property shares lost 2.5%.

The Vienna stock market did not follow the global trend, and in the first three quarters of 2013 limped along more or less at the same level as at the end of 2012. The leading Austrian index ATX only saw some improvement in recent weeks, and closed the third quarter at 2,528.45 points for a gain of 5.3%. The IATX, the Austrian property share index, showed a slight loss of 1.1% at the end of the quarter and closed at 172.03 points. The main reasons for the poor performance and declining trading volumes on the Vienna Stock Exchange were still the exchange's status as a secondary stock market and a tax framework that offers investors very little incentive.

Daily volumes traded for the S IMMO Share have increased in the last few months, but the overall share price performance was still lacklustre at -3.7%. Taking the dividend distribution into account improves the performance to -0.6% since the beginning of the year. In the third quarter, S IMMO continued its repurchase programmes for the S IMMO Share and the S IMMO INVEST participating certificate. Since the beginning of the new Share

In the third quarter, KochBank – S IMMO AG's second market maker – published its initial analysis of the Company. Based on the very satisfactory half-year results, the Share price targets of the existing analysts were confirmed and in some cases raised. At the time of going to press, the average 12-month Share price target stood at EUR 5.915.

In the third quarter of 2013, S IMMO AG's Management Board together with the IR team once again took part in important capital market events. At the SRC Forum Financials & Real Estate in Frankfurt, there was a presentation of the Company as well as numerous one-on-one talks. In Munich, S IMMO took part in Baader Bank's investor conference, where it also became clear that institutional investors have a renewed interest in well-managed property shares. The Group also expects increased interest from private investors – one of the reasons being the attractive dividend yield of the S IMMO Share, which was already above 3% this year.

Austrian property shares remain undervalued, with discounts to net asset value of between 40% and 50%. Investor interest is being sparked by the increasing dividend yield, and investors are starting to recognise the potential for capital appreciation. The high discounts are in part the result of investor reservations about Central and Southeastern Europe. As soon as the region's economy recovers, the prices of Austrian property shares should start moving towards their net asset values again.

Interim Management Report

Macroeconomic overview

It appears that the eurozone economy emerged from the recession in the second quarter. However, the economic recovery progressed very differently from country to country. While the economic conditions in Germany and Portugal improved considerably, overall economic activity declined for instance in Italy and the Netherlands – albeit to a lesser extent than in the previous quarters. The structural reforms in the crisis countries of the eurozone gradually seem to be having a positive effect. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the eurozone economy will expand slightly again and estimates growth of 1% especially for 2014. Economic activity will likely pick up again in the eurozone if the austerity policies are loosened over the next year. Of the 17 eurozone countries, only Slovenia and Cyprus are expected to face economic contraction in 2014. The IMF expects Greece to achieve slight economic growth of 0.6% for the first time in six years. However, the overall level of growth is too low to reduce the record unemployment in Europe.

Optimism is increasing again in Austria, as well: Austrian economists and experts expect economic growth of 1.5–1.8% due to the stabilisation of economic conditions in Central and Southeastern Europe. The Austrian labour market is experiencing a rise in unemployment, which amounted to 4.9% at the end of September 2013 – still the lowest figure among the member countries of the European Union. Falling inflation is providing additional momentum for private consumption. Following the higher levels seen in the first half of the year, the average inflation rate for 2013 will be roughly 1.9% in total.

Real estate market overview

Austria and Germany

At 85,000 m², the Viennese office market recorded a marked upswing in take-up in the third quarter of 2013. In comparison with the first quarter, this figure increased by 89%. Due to the limited production of new space, the vacancy rate is still at a very good level of 6.6%.

While most of Germany's metropolises recorded a sideward movement of offer rents for apartments in September, Berlin remained the exception with a gain of 0.9 percentage points. Berlin is still undergoing an adjustment process in terms of its rents converging with those of other major German cities. For freehold flats, Berlin also saw the greatest increase in prices together with Munich. On the Berlin office market, take-up in the first three quarters of 2013 lagged behind the reference values of 2011 and 2012. The market is characterised by relocation to newer, smaller and more efficient spaces, which is leading to an increase in the vacancy of older properties.

The Viennese hotel market developed well in the first three quarters of 2013, with the number of overnight stays increasing by 2.5% year-on-year to 9.4m which is primarily due to guests from Russia, the USA and Great Britain. Occupancy totalled roughly 68% over the first nine months of the year (70% in the same period of 2012). The slight decline in occupancy comes as no real surprise, as the supply of hotel rooms in Vienna increased by around 5.7% compared with the previous year. The relatively low number of conferences this year and the robust growth in the number of hotel rooms have led to a considerable rise in pressure on room rates in the four- and five-star segment. It can be assumed that this situation will be further exacerbated in the coming months due to the continuing rise in the supply of hotel rooms.

Central Europe (CEE)

In the third quarter of 2013, vacancy on the Budapest office market stood at 18.6%. Without owner-occupied properties, the figure even rises to just above 22%. Total take-up in the first three quarters amounted to about 243,700 m², remaining at the same level as the previous year. Small units still make up the largest part of demand; 94% of the third-quarter transactions were for spaces of less than 500 m². In Bratislava, three office buildings were added to the market during the quarter. The overall vacancy rate increased from 13.6% to 14.8%. Take-up amounted to approximately 19,300 m² − a decrease of roughly 38% when compared to the third quarter of 2012. One positive note here is the fact that 80% of the take-up is from new rental contracts.

Prague's chain hotel segment has achieved growth in both room rates and occupancy over the past 12 months, with room rates improving by 1.8% year-on-year and occupancy by 1.1% year-on-year. In Bratislava, the very positive development seen in the second quarter continued into the summer, but the average occupancy and room rates remain at very low levels due to the significant surplus of hotel rooms. The Budapest hotel market is enjoying stable development this year. Experts predict slight gains over the previous year.

Southeastern Europe (SEE)

The office market in Sofia continued its slow recovery in the third quarter of 2013. For the first time in years, developers added projects to the pipeline. Take-up increased by 44% when compared with the previous quarter and by 13.4% compared with the third quarter of 2012. The vacancy rate declined by one percentage point, but still stood at a very high 30.1%. On the Sofia retail market, there is still 122,000 m² of space under construction, which will lead to increasing pressure on existing shopping centres. International retailers have been the main drivers of absorption and will remain so in the future.

Only one office building with around 1,800 m² was added to the Bucharest market in the third quarter of 2013. Take-up recorded a marked rise year-on-year. This was due, among other things, to the increasing number of international companies considering establishing a location in Bucharest or relocating to the city. Nevertheless, vacancy stood at 15% at the end of the third quarter. The market will likely remain tenant-dominated for at least the next twelve months. With the opening of the Promenada Mall by the end of the year, competitive pressure is expected to increase on the Bucharest retail market.

The Bucharest hotel market is expected to deliver stable development with slight increases on annual average in 2013.

Business performance and results

Property portfolio

As at 30 September 2013 S IMMO AG owned a total of 213 properties with a carrying value of EUR 1,794.9m and total usable space of around 1.3 million m². The occupancy rate on the reporting date was 89.6%, and the overall rental yield was 6.9%.

S IMMO's property portfolio is located in four regions. As at 30 September 2013, the largest part of the properties by market value were located in the Austrian segment (32.1%), followed by Germany (26.2%), SEE (21.6%) and CEE (20.2%). The portfolio is made up of four property types: As at 30 September 2013, office properties represented 40.1%, retail space 27.0%, residential buildings 19.0% and hotels 13.9%.

Performance – summary

As expected, the disposal of properties led to a decrease in rental income. However, this reduction was more than made up for by an improved gross profit from hotel operations and more particularly by reduced property-related expenses. As a result, the gross profit was up by 4.6% to EUR 81.3m. A further reduction in management expenses led to an improved EBITDA of EUR 75.4m, and lower financing costs were reflected in an increase in EBT of 12.7%. Overall, the net profit for the period was 5.2% higher, at EUR 21.4m. The successful operating results were also reflected in an increase in funds from operations (FFO), up by 10.6% to EUR 27.5m.

Gross profit

In the first three quarters of 2013, S IMMO AG's total revenues came to EUR 145.3m (Q3 2012: EUR 146.3m). As expected, the rental income included in this reflected the property disposals and amounted to EUR 88.3m (Q3 2012: EUR 89.5m). While the property portfolio was reduced by more than 4% since the beginning of the year, rental income decreased by only 1.3%.

For the first nine months of 2013, rental income by region was as follows: SEE contributed 29.0%, Austria 26.3%, Germany 25.5% and CEE 19.2%. Rental income by property use type showed retail properties contributing 39.3%, followed by offices at 34.9%. Residential properties made up 18.9%, and hotels 6.9%.

Revenues from hotel operations (Vienna Marriott and Budapest Marriott Hotels) decreased slightly by 1.3% to EUR 29.2m (Q3 2012: EUR 29.5m). Despite this, the gross profit from hotel operations improved by 2.9% to EUR 6.4m (Q3 2012: EUR 6.2m).

In the first three quarters of 2013, expenses directly attributable to properties decreased by 8.8% to EUR 45.9m compared with the same period last year. The increased gross profit from hotel operations and the decrease in property-related expenses more than compensated for the reduction in rental income, overall leading to a higher gross profit of EUR 81.3m (Q3 2012: EUR 77.8m), an improvement of 4.6%.

Successful property sales

In 2013, S IMMO plans to dispose of properties to the value of around EUR 100m. The sales during the first nine months were as follows:

  • two apartments in the office and residential complex Neutor 1010 in Vienna
  • one residential property in Vienna
  • three residential properties in Berlin
  • one retail property in Bremen

As at 30 September 2013 the sale proceeds totalled EUR 90.9m, compared with EUR 130.1m in the first three quarters of 2012. Gains on disposals came to EUR 5.1m, as against EUR 9.7m in the same period last year. Compared with the estimated values as at 30 September 2012, the gains were EUR 10.1m.

EBITDA and EBIT

Similarly to property-related expenses, management expenses were also reduced again, and for the first nine months amounted to EUR 11.0m (Q3 2012: EUR 12.2m) – a reduction of 9.5%. EBITDA climbed to EUR 75.4m (Q3 2012: EUR 75.3m). As at 30 September 2013 properties with a fair value of EUR 49.9m were classified as "held for sale", and their value was correspondingly increased. At the same time it was necessary to recognise impairments on Budapest office properties. Overall valuation gains came to EUR 4.0m (Q3 2012: EUR 5.5m) and as a result, EBIT came out at EUR 72.1m (Q3 2012: EUR 73.9m).

Further increase in net profit for the period

In the first three quarters of 2013 financing costs were down by 9.8% to EUR 37.7m (Q3 2012: EUR 41.8m), reflecting the lower borrowings. Financing costs also include non-cash effects from the valuation of derivatives and foreign currencies totalling EUR -0.6m (Q3 2012: EUR -1.7m). Lower financing costs also resulted in the EBT increasing by 12.7% to EUR 25.6m (Q3 2012: EUR 22.7m). The overall net profit for the period improved by 5.2% to EUR 21.4m, compared with EUR 20.4m for the same period last year.

Funds from operations (FFO)

The positive performance of the key earnings indicators is also reflected in higher FFO: As at the end of the third quarter of 2013, they had climbed by 10.6% to EUR 27.5m, compared with EUR 24.9m a year earlier. In calculating FFO, the results for the period were adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortisation, valuation gains and losses on interest rate hedges, and exchange rate differences. With a market capitalisation of EUR 315.4m as at 30 September 2013, the FFO yield is a very attractive 11.6%.

* Not including Vienna Marriott Hotel and Budapest Marriott Hotel

Net operating income (NOI)

The cost savings detailed above resulted in a further increase in NOI, which amounted to EUR 76.7m (Q3 2012: EUR 72.7m) as at 30 September 2013.

2013 2012 Change
NOI (EUR m) 76.7 72.7 5.5%
NOI margin (%) 52.7 49.7 3.0 pp

Cash flow

For the first three quarters of 2013, operating cash flow was up by 10.7% to EUR 75.2m (Q3 2012: EUR 68.0m). Cash flow from investing activities totalled EUR 72.0m (Q3 2012: EUR 120.5m), and the net cash outflow from financing activities totalled EUR 143.9m (Q3 2012: cash outflow of EUR 224.1m).

Consolidated balance sheet

S IMMO Group's total assets were reduced by the property sales from EUR 2,013.8m as at 31 December 2012 to EUR 1,944.9m as at 30 September 2013. S IMMO's cash and cash equivalents at that date totalled EUR 49.6m (31 December 2012: EUR 57.1m).

Opportunities and risks

The overall assessment of opportunities and risks for S IMMO Group is explained in detail in the Annual Report 2012 (pages 42–47). The discussion in this section concentrates mainly on potential risks in the coming months.

In the third quarter of 2013, economic tensions eased slightly. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts that the eurozone economy will begin to grow again – slowly at first, and then more strongly in 2014. Many economists believe that the long recession in the eurozone has come to an end and that the economy has stabilised. As an example, the purchasing

Financing

During the period under review, the loan to value ratio (the debt excluding the valuation of derivatives in relation to the property portfolio) improved further, to around 52% (Q3 2012: 54%). The Group also has participating capital in issue (a hybrid between equity and debt) representing approximately 12.4% of the property portfolio. As at 30 September 2013, S IMMO's liabilities to banks were spread among 21 financial institutions. The average maturity of long-term bank loans was 7.1 years.

Net asset value (NAV)

In the first three quarters of 2013, both book value (balance sheet NAV) per share and EPRA NAV were up again. As at 30 September 2013 book value was EUR 7.62 (31 December 2012: EUR 7.17) per share, and EPRA NAV was EUR 9.45 (31 December 2012: EUR 9.18) per share. EPRA NAV represents the value of equity adjusted for items that do not have a long-term effect on the business activities of the Group, such as valuations of derivatives and deferred taxes. Derivatives being used as interest rate hedges will gradually expire over the coming years. The effects are already becoming apparent in the equity and the book value per share.

managers index (PMI) climbed above the important 50-point mark back in August, so that a moderate improvement in economic output can be expected in the coming months. At the beginning of September, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revised some of its forecasts upwards, and for 2013 is predicting GDP growth of 0.3% for France, 1.5% for the United Kingdom and 0.7% for Germany. For the eurozone, the EU Commission also expects modest growth for the second half of 2013 and growth of 1.2% in 2014.

These promising forecasts justify the conclusion that economic recovery has begun in S IMMO's markets. Even higher growth rates are expected for the coming year. These first signs of recovery will also have a positive effect on S IMMO's operating activities. However, setbacks in the economic revival remain a possibility, since the various economies are still at the beginning of the recovery process. S IMMO will therefore continue to

carefully monitor its markets and take appropriate steps to minimise possible risks.

Currently, S IMMO sees a particular risk in the Budapest office market, where approximately 5% of the Group's portfolio is located. The political situation in Hungary has led many investors to withdraw from the market. Large enterprises are consolidating operations and reducing the number of their locations, and demand for office space is down. Repercussions are expected to affect rental income, property valuations and vacancy rates. The situation in the Sofia office market is also still difficult, whereas in Bucharest the market for office space is recovering slightly.

S IMMO is focused on four different property use types and active in four regions. This allows the Group to adapt to changing market environments and to balance out negative market fluctuations, such as those currently taking place in Hungary, with more promising market developments – for example, the present residential market in Germany.

Outlook

The first three quarters were very successful for S IMMO AG, and we are also expecting strong performance in the fourth quarter. For the financial year 2013 as a whole, we expect better results than in 2012.

Over the coming months, our main focus will continue to be on the booming residential market in Germany. We are planning to selectively sell properties in Berlin and Hamburg, and at the same time are looking at various investment possibilities in Berlin. Because of the low home ownership rate in the apartment segment and demographic developments in the German capital, the residential market has considerable potential. S IMMO's team of experts in Berlin can use its experience and competence to take advantage of possible opportunities.

In Central and Southeastern Europe, we will continue the successful asset management of our standing properties. We have concluded new lease agreements for our Serdika Offices building in Sofia, thereby bringing the occupancy rate up to roughly 65%. For our undeveloped land, we are continuing our preparations in order to be able to begin construction as soon as there is a noticeable economic upswing in the region.

The continuing expansionary monetary policy pursued by the central banks should revitalise stock markets. The possible end of the recession in the eurozone is also increasing analysts' interest in European shares. The Vienna Stock Exchange, too, is showing increasingly positive signs: Since 2012, the leading Austrian index ATX has gained more than 40%, trading volumes have risen and institutional investors' reservations about Central and Southeastern Europe have decreased. We are optimistic that this positive sentiment will be transferred to the S IMMO Share as well. We are also continuing our activities in the capital markets. These include the repurchasing programmes for participating certificates and the S IMMO Share, participation in numerous conferences and roadshows, intensive contacts with investors and, most importantly, the consistently solid results.

2. ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION POLICIES

2.1. Accounting policies

The consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and do not contain all the information required to be disclosed in a full set of IFRS consolidated financial statements. The interim financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2013, the accounting and valuation policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 have been applied substantially unchanged.

The financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2013 have neither been audited nor reviewed by independent auditors.

The accounting policies of all companies included in consolidation are based on the uniform accounting regulations of S IMMO Group. The financial year for all companies is the year ending on 31 December. In the second quarter of 2013, SIAG Property II was included in the consolidation of S IMMO AG for the first time. Furthermore, there has been no change in the companies included in consolidation as compared with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The consolidated interim financial statements are presented rounded to the nearest 1,000 euro (EUR '000 or kEUR). The totals of rounded amounts and the percentages may be affected by rounding differences caused by the use of computer software.

2.2. Reporting currency and currency translation

The Group's reporting currency is the euro. The functional currency is determined as per the criteria of IAS 21, and has been identified as being the euro for the majority of S IMMO's Group companies.

This Interim Report has been prepared and proofread with the greatest possible care, and the information in it has been checked. Nevertheless, the possibility of rounding errors, errors in transmission, typesetting or printing errors cannot be excluded.
