Dear Shareholders,

A few weeks ago, we and a media partner welcomed some 180 guests to a panel discussion entitled "Where should I invest my money?". Together with well-known financial experts, we discussed topics such as the current interest rate environment, short-term and long-term investment strategies and financial education. One especially positive aspect from S IMMO's perspective is that the historically low level of interest rates offers a particularly favourable environment for real estate companies. Our markets have recovered well and are stable. And our strategy – capital cities within the European Union with a current focus on Berlin – is proving very successful.

We are also pleased that in this interim report we can confirm what we have already said: S IMMO is fully on track with its ambitious plans for 2015 and all key indicators are in line with the targets for the year as a whole. For example, we increased our net profit by over 27% to EUR 28.2m in the reporting period. Earnings per share accordingly improved to EUR 0.40 – a rise of over 33%. In the second and third quarters of 2015, S IMMO closed out existing derivatives that had been concluded in the past when interest rates were much higher. At the same time, we negotiated new agreements and secured the current, historically low interest rates for the long-term future. The positive effects of these measures on cash flow and FFO will become fully apparent in the 2016 financial year.

Success on the capital market

As in the previous quarters, the S IMMO share significantly outperformed the ATX and the IATX in the reporting period. At the end of the quarter, the share price stood at EUR 7.60 – a gain of more than 23% since the beginning of the year. Since 30 September 2015 the share price further increased and currently stands at a level of around EUR 8.00. In the numerous discussions that we have held at investor conferences and roadshows over the past few weeks, there has been a particularly positive response to our securing the interest rate level over the long term, as well as to the consistency of our strategy and the attractive dividend of EUR 0.24. Accordingly, our declared aim is and remains to position the S IMMO share as a consistently dividend-paying stock.

Outlook confirmed

After a highly successful business performance to date, we also expect a positive development in the final quarter of 2015. S IMMO confirms its intention to further increase net income once again this year. We aim to nearly double FFO, raising it from EUR 21.3m for the 2014 financial year to over EUR 40m by the end of 2018. We continue to see the greatest potential in Germany – particularly among commercial properties in Berlin with development opportunities. Around two-thirds of the planned investment volume is earmarked for projects in Germany.

The remaining third is planned for opportunistic investments in S IMMO's other markets. We are looking forward to presenting you with further projects in Germany and in our other markets – for example, in the area surrounding the central station in Vienna – in 2016. Overall, we believe that we are exceptionally well-positioned for the coming quarters and years and are optimistic for the future.

Our share

"Sell in May and go away" – this old stock-market adage could have spared some investors from annoyance and real losses, as many international capital markets fell sharply in the third quarter of 2015. This was due to factors including the weak economic figures for China published in August 2015, growing concerns about the economic situation in the emerging markets and the uncertainty surrounding a possible rise in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve. However, the announcement that interest rates will remain unchanged for the time being failed to calm the markets for long. In addition, news of the manipulation of emissions figures by Volkswagen broke in September.

Share indicators

The Dow Jones Industrial Index (DJII) ended the third quarter of 2015 at 16,284.70 points, down more than 2,000 points on the all-time high reached in the year 2015 and 8.68% lower than at the beginning of the year. The performance of the S&P 500 Index was slightly better, yet it still fell sharply by 6.68% to 1,920.53 points.

The German DAX benchmark index, which also reached a new all-time high this year, dropped by 1.07%, ending the quarter at 9,660.44 points. In Austria, the ATX benchmark index fared similarly, rising slightly by 1.75% to finish the quarter at 2,229.49 points. The Austrian IATX, which tracks all Austrian property shares, posted an outstanding performance, gaining 9.77%. As at 30 September 2015, it stood at 223.08 points – a sign that property shares are currently in great demand as an investment product. At present, sentiment is being boosted by positive conditions such as low interest rates, strong demand for apartments and office space in some major European cities and greater optimism surrounding investments in parts of Central and Southeastern Europe.

In this positive environment, the S IMMO share also performed impressively, gaining 23.38% year-on-year and rising by 23.18% in the year to date. On 24 February 2015, the S IMMO share reached its high for the year to date (closing price) of EUR 8.85. It boasts the following investment case: an attractive dividend of EUR 0.24 per share and an average price target from analysts of EUR 8.44.

In the third quarter, the S IMMO management together with the IR team attended further conferences and roadshows such as the SRC Research Forum in Frankfurt and the investors' conference of Baader Bank in Munich. The group presentations and numerous one-on-one conversations with potential investors and existing shareholders from Germany, Poland, Switzerland and the USA went very well, thus clearly vindicating S IMMO's strategy. In addition, teleconferences were held with further potential international investors in the third quarter.

Interim Management Report

Macroeconomic overview

Economic growth is still sluggish in the eurozone. According to Eurostat, gross domestic product advanced by just 0.4% in quarter-on-quarter terms in Q2 2015. There are primarily two reasons for this lower growth: The French economy stagnated in the second quarter, and leading German economic research institutes have lowered their growth outlook for 2015 to 1.8%. One positive note worth mentioning is the fact that the former crisis countries – especially Spain – are continuing to recover. Greece's growth delivered a positive surprise, coming in at plus 0.8%. The EU member states in Central and Southeastern Europe experienced a slight deceleration of economic momentum in the second quarter, although growth remains largely stable and is expected to range between 2.5 and 3.5% this year. The IMF projects average growth of 1.5% for the eurozone countries this year. The joint forecast issued by Insée in Paris, Istat in Rome and the Ifo Institute in Munich calls for economic expansion of 1.6% in the eurozone.

Austria's economy is growing very slowly. According to Eurostat, economic output increased by just 0.1% in the second quarter. This puts Austria at the lower end of the spectrum compared with the other EU member states. Investment activity and consumption are both low at the moment. However, the 2015/2016 tax reform should have a positive impact and boost households' disposable income next year. As a result, private consumer spending is expected to increase by 1.5% in 2016, and investment activity is also expected to pick up. The labour market continues to be characterised by high employment growth and a simultaneous increase in unemployment. By 2018, unemployment will likely rise to roughly 10% in Austria according to WIFO. The Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) forecasts GDP growth of 0.7% for 2015. Austrian economic research institutes and the IMF expect growth to come in at 1.6% in 2016.

Real estate market overview

AUSTRIA

The Vienna office market recorded take-up of 29,000 m² in Q3 2015, renewals accounted for 10,000 m². The limited availability of high-quality space above 5,000 m² is expected to boost pre-letting activity during the next months. The current development pipeline with a total size of 470,000 m² will be a welcome addition to the market. However, half of the space is already pre-leased.

In September 2015, the series of record months on the Viennese hotel market since January continued. With 1.4 million overnight stays, September 2015 outperformed the corresponding month in 2014 by 9%. Some 10.7 million overnight stays were recorded in the first nine months. This is an increase of 7.1% compared with the corresponding period last year. Net revenue from overnight stays grew even more strongly this year. From January to August, the Viennese hotel market generated EUR 447.8m. This is an increase of 16.4% compared with the corresponding period in 2014.

GERMANY

Berlin's strong economic performance continued in Q3 2015. Office space take-up registered a new record level of 232,400 m². The combined result for the first three quarters came to 570,200 m² and was the highest ever recorded. The great demand for office space cannot be satisfied by the low volume of completions. As a result, further rent increases can be expected. The vacancy rate declined to 7.3% in the third quarter – the lowest level since recordings have started. The vivid demand for office space is expected to continue until the end of the year, leading to a record take-up of over 650,000 m² and a further decrease of vacancy.

Berlin's residential market also developed very positively. Especially inventory freehold flats recorded significant price increases year-on-year. In September 2015 alone, the prices rose three percentage points. The prices of newly built properties also climbed up but not that markedly. Starting from a low level, rents are still clearly on the upswing.

CENTRAL EUROPE (CEE)

The office market in Budapest recorded a demand of 99,600 m² in Q3 2015. This is only about half the size of last quarter's record volume but is in line with the five-year average. Renewals made up 54% of the total leasing activity, new deals accounted for 31% and expansions for the remaining 15%. The average deal size amounted to 553 m² in Q3 2015. The vacancy rate declined to 13.5%, reaching the lowest level of the last seven years.

The Bratislava office market saw no completions in Q3 2015. Nevertheless, a record amount of office space with expected completion within three years is currently under construction. This reflects the positive market sentiment and developers' optimistic outlook. The leasing activity amounted to 62,650 m² – an increase of 41% compared to the previous quarter but 13% lower than in the same period last year. The vacancy rate decreased to 11.5% until the end of the third quarter.

The hotel sector in Budapest is continuing to perform strongly. Room occupancy grew to 92.6%, enabling hoteliers to effectively leverage average room rates and resulting in a 14.8% year-onyear rise to EUR 96.24. These figures reinforce Budapest's image as an increasingly popular tourist destination.

Hotels in Prague and Bratislava are also experiencing an upswing. This year, both markets increased their occupancy rate. The Prague hotel market benefited from growth in revenues per available room of 25.3%. Despite the positive news, Bratislava still remains one of the weakest hotel markets in Europe.

SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE (SEE)

Office demand in Sofia remained strong also in Q3 2015, which is reflected in the take-up number of 38,104 m². The vacancy stayed at the previous quarter's level of about 25%. As a result of an increasing occupier demand, development activity increased. Nevertheless, the supply of prime space will remain limited in the medium term.

In Q3 2015, the retail market in Sofia was characterised by a lack of new completions and the continuing restructuring of underperforming shopping centres. After the pressure at the end of 2014, prime rents in leading shopping centres are now recovering.

The total leasing activity on the Bucharest office market amounted to 72,000 m² in Q3 2015. New deals accounted at least for 30%. IT and telecommunications continued to be the most active sector. The vacancy rate slightly increased from 12.9% in Q2 to 13.1%. Three new office properties offering 42,000 m² overall are expected on the market until the end of the year. For 2016, there are currently 16 further projects with a total size of 382,000 m² under construction.

Business development and performance

Property portfolio

As at 30 September 2015, S IMMO's property portfolio consisted of 205 (31 December 2014: 203) properties with a book value of EUR 1,831.7m (31 December 2014: EUR 1,764.4m) and a total usable space of around 1.2 million m² (31 December 2014: 1.2 million m²).

The properties are situated in the developed markets of Austria and Germany as well as the growth markets of Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) and Southeastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia). In terms of market value, 59.9% (31 December 2014: 58.5%) of the properties were in Austria and Germany and 40.1% (31 December 2014: 41.5%) in CEE and SEE as at 30 September 2015.

With regard to use type, 78.5% (31 December 2014: 79.8%) of the portfolio by market value consisted of commercial properties (office, retail and hotel) and a supplementary share of 21.5% (31 December 2014: 20.2%) is attributable to residential properties.

In the reporting period, the portfolio had an occupancy rate of 91.5% (31 December 2014: 91.1%) and an overall rental yield of 7.0% (31 December 2014: 6.9%).

Performance – summary

The first three quarters of 2015 were very successful for S IMMO, with further increases in key indicators such as EBIT, EBT and net income for the period. EBIT climbed to EUR 76.1m (Q3 2014: EUR 74.9m), EBT totalled EUR 34.6m (Q3 2014: EUR 27.3m) and net income for the period was increased to EUR 28.2m (Q3 2014: EUR 22.2m). Earnings per share also developed positively and amounted to EUR 0.40 (Q3 2014: EUR 0.30). The financial result including the participating certificates result improved to EUR -41.5m (Q3 2014: EUR -47.6m). This was primarily due to the lower interest payments resulting from newly concluded derivatives and to lower foreign currency translation expenses.

Development of income

S IMMO's total income for the first nine months of 2015 amounted to EUR 141.6m (Q3 2014: EUR 140.5m) and was thus slightly higher than the prior-year level. The rental income included in this figure amounted to EUR 83.2m (Q3 2014: EUR 84.5m) and reflected the property disposals completed since the beginning of 2014.

Broken down by region, rental income for the reporting period was as follows: Austria and Germany 52.2% (Q3 2014: 51.8%), and CEE and SEE 47.8% (Q3 2014: 48.2%). As regards rental income by use type, commercial properties contributed 81.1% (Q3 2014: 80.8%) and residential properties 18.9% (Q3 2014: 19.2%).

Revenues from hotel operations (revenues from the Vienna and Budapest Marriott Hotels, both operated under management agreements) increased to EUR 33.0m (Q3 2014: EUR 30.2m). An improved occupancy rate and a rise in room prices con

tributed to this positive development. Gross profit from hotel operations consequently improved to EUR 9.2m (Q3 2014: EUR 6.9m).

In the first three quarters of 2015, property management expenses amounted to EUR 42.6m (Q3 2014: EUR 41.0m). Gross profit came to EUR 77.4m (Q3 2014: EUR 79.7m).

Successful property transactions

In the first three quarters of 2015, S IMMO sold six properties in Germany and Austria with a total book value of EUR 45.9m (Q3 2014: EUR 48.4m). Five of these properties sold were already classified as held for sale as at 31 December 2014. The corresponding total revaluation gains of EUR 2.2m (Q3 2014: EUR 15.3m) were recognised in the results from property valuation for the 2014 and 2015 financial years.

S IMMO also purchased properties in Austria and Germany at a total price of EUR 72.6m in the first three quarters. In addition, purchases amounting to EUR 70.5m for which S IMMO AG will not obtain ownership until after 30 September 2015 were contractually agreed by the time of going to press on 23 November 2015.

EBITDA and EBIT

In the first three quarters of 2015, EBITDA amounted to EUR 65.2m (Q3 2014: EUR 67.6m). The decrease reflected lower rental income as a result of disposals and increased costs that were largely attributable to non-recurring and timing-related effects.

Revaluation gains developed very positively, amounting to EUR 16.8m as at 30 September 2015 (Q3 2014: EUR 12.8m). The measures aimed at increasing the value of properties in Asset Management and the constantly improving sentiment in S IMMO's markets played a part here. The portfolio in Germany in particular made a significant contribution to the increase in revaluation gains. Overall, EBIT was higher than in the previous year at EUR 76.1m (Q3 2014: EUR 74.9m).

Financing result

As at 30 September 2015, the financial result including the participating certificates result stood at EUR -41.5m (Q3 2014: EUR -47.6m). This significant improvement is primarily attributable to lower interest payments as a result of newly concluded interest-rate hedges and an improvement in currency translation differences compared with the previous year.

Development of EBT, net profit for the period and earnings per share

As a result, EBT amounted to EUR 34.6m (Q3 2014: EUR 27.3m), up 26.7% on the same period of the previous year. Due to the effects described above, profit for the period increased by 27.1% to EUR 28.2m (Q3 2014: EUR 22.2m). Earnings per share improved again to EUR 0.40 (Q3 2014: EUR 0.30), corresponding to an increase of 33.3%.

Funds from operations (FFO)

FFO I, which is a key indicator for the operating performance of a property company and does not include the sale of standing properties, rose by 50.2% to EUR 26.8m as at 30 September

* Not including Vienna Marriott Hotel and Budapest Marriott Hotel * Not including Vienna Marriott Hotel and Budapest Marriott Hotel

2015 (Q3 2014: EUR 17.9m). FFO I was calculated from net income for the period, adjusted for non-cash tax expenses of EUR 2.3m (Q3 2014: EUR 2.0m), depreciation and amortisation of EUR 5.8m (Q3 2014: EUR 5.5m), income from property valuation of EUR 16.8m (Q3 2014: EUR 12.8m) and other effects on income, including from interest rate hedges and exchange rate differences, of EUR 7.3m (Q3 2014: EUR 1.0m). The participating certificates are reflected by including the share of profits accruing over the year, rather than the annual distribution.

FFO II came to EUR 29.1m (Q3 2014: EUR 33.1m). It mainly includes the sales-related revaluation gains of the current year and the previous year at a total of EUR 2.2m (Q3 2014: EUR 15.3m).

Consolidated statement of financial position

S IMMO Group's total assets increased from EUR 1,894.7m as at 31 December 2014 to EUR 1,934.8m as at 30 September 2015. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 48.2m as at 30 September 2015 (31 December 2014: EUR 74.7m). As at 30 September 2015, no properties were held for sale (31 December 2014: EUR 42.8m).

Financing

One key indicator for assessing the financing structure is the loan-to-value ratio (LTV ratio). S IMMO differentiates between two types of this key indicator: the LTV ratio for financing secured by properties (mortgages) and the LTV ratio for unsecured financing. The latter primarily relates to the bonds issued by S IMMO AG and a small proportion of utilised credit lines. The calculation of these two key indicators is described in detail in the 2014 annual report.

S IMMO's reported property assets stood at EUR 1,831.7m as at 30 September 2015 (31 December 2014: EUR 1,764.4m). The LTV ratio for financing secured by properties improved to 46% in the reporting period (31 December 2014: 48%).

S IMMO also has unsecured financing. The LTV ratio for unsecured financing less cash and cash equivalents amounted to 16% in the reporting period (31 December 2014: 12%). The total LTV ratio of the company amounted to 62% (31 December 2014: 60%). As at 30 September 2015, the average weighted residual term of the loans, credit lines and bonds was 6.7 years (Q3 2014: 6.7 years).

In the second and third quarters of 2015, S IMMO closed out existing derivatives that had been concluded in the past when interest rates were much higher, and negotiated new, long-term interest-rate hedges commensurate with the current low interest rates. As a result, the company expects improvements in future cash flows and the key indicators FFO I and FFO II (by definition, payments for close-outs and new contracts are not taken into account in FFO).

Overall, derivatives with a nominal value of EUR 375.0m (30 September 2014: EUR 0m) were closed out by 30 September 2015, with payments of EUR 32.2m (30 September 2014: EUR 0m) being made. Conversely, new derivatives (caps and swaps) amounting to EUR 435m (30 September 2014: EUR 45m) were concluded, ensuring interest-rate hedging in line with current market conditions for roughly the next ten years.

Net asset value (NAV)

In the first three quarters of 2015, both the book value and EPRA NAV per share were up again. As at 30 September 2015, the book value of the equity per share improved to EUR 8.52 (30 September 2014: EUR 7.97), while EPRA NAV stood at EUR 10.43 (30 September 2014: EUR 9.89) per share. EPRA NAV represents the value of equity adjusted for effects which, assuming that the property portfolio is held for the long term, do not have an effect on the business activities of S IMMO Group, such as valuations of interest-rate hedges and deferred taxes.

Risk report

The complete risk management report of S IMMO AG and the assessment of potential risks for the current financial year are set out in detail in the 2014 annual report (starting on page 42). This section deals mainly with potential risks in the coming months.

According to the IMF, the global economy is in a recovery phase, although the pace is slowing. For instance, in October, the IMF revised its forecast for global economic growth in 2015 to 3.1%. In September, the OECD also reduced its forecast for global GDP growth to 3.0% for 2015. The Austrian Institute of

Economic Research (WIFO) has forecast the growth of the 28 EU member states for this year at 1.5%. The rather moderate economic recovery could impact S IMMO's business development. In particular, it could affect letting and rental default risks.

Ongoing concerns surrounding the global economy and falling inflation rates have caused the US Federal Reserve to stick to its zero interest-rate policy. However, there have recently been indications that the first rise in nearly ten years could happen this year.

As a result of its business activities, S IMMO is also exposed to a large number of legal risks that may arise from a change in the legal situation, for example. In spring 2015, the control of rental prices came into force in Germany, meaning that in certain regions the rent charged for any new lease may be no more than 10% higher than the rent according to the rent index. Even so, S IMMO is only affected slightly, as current rent levels are high. In addition, apartments that have been built since 01 October 2014 are exempt from the control of rental prices. The same applies to apartments that have been extensively renovated (if the conversion costs account for more than a third of the new construction costs) and then re-let for the first time.

Further risks relate to the refinancing of S IMMO. These may arise from any tightening of the equity and liquidity regulations of banks and could additionally result in a more restrictive lending policy.

Corresponding measures and, if necessary, accounting provisions are made for risks.

Outlook

After three highly successful quarters of the 2015 financial year, S IMMO expects a positive performance for the final quarter as well. For instance, we are reaffirming our target of further increasing our consolidated net income and other key ratios such as cash flow and FFO. We aim to nearly double FFO, raising it from EUR 21.3m for the 2014 financial year to over EUR 40m by the end of 2018.

With our business model, we are constantly creating value for our shareholders: On the investment side, we continue to see the greatest potential in Germany, particularly among commercial properties in Berlin with development opportunities. Around two thirds of the planned investment volume is earmarked for projects in Germany. Re-zoning, refurbishment measures and development of additional space on existing plots of land are being looked into here. Opportunistic purchases are also planned in our other regions. In Vienna, we have invested in four office developments at the Central Station. Construction of the first office building with usable space of 9,000 m² could start in mid-2016, with completion planned by the end of 2017.

Our interest-rate hedging policy remains geared towards creating value: We have bought back derivatives concluded in the past with a short remaining maturity, and concluded new longterm interest-rate hedges at very attractive terms. In this way, we are securing ourselves the current low interest rate for the next ten years. The positive effects of these measures will become fully apparent as early as the 2016 financial year.

On the capital markets, the positioning of the S IMMO share as a consistently dividend-paying stock remains an unchanged goal. The company also plans to pay out a dividend in the coming years.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

(condensed)

1. THE GROUP

S IMMO Group (S IMMO AG and its subsidiaries) is an international real estate group. The parent company of the Group, S IMMO AG, has its registered office and headquarters at Friedrichstrasse 10, 1010 Vienna, Austria. The company has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1987, since 2007 in the Prime Segment.

Its activities also include:

  • real estate project development,
  • the operation of hotels and shopping centres,
  • the refurbishment of existing properties,
  • active asset and portfolio management and
  • services such as facility management.

2. ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION POLICIES

2.1. Accounting policies

The consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 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 2014.

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2015, the accounting and valuation policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 have been applied substantially unchanged.

The financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 were neither reviewed nor audited.

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 first quarter of 2015, the previously fully consolidated company Viertel Zwei Hotel GmbH & Co KG was sold. In the same period, four companies were fully consolidated in the interim consolidated financial statements of S IMMO AG for the first time. These companies are S IMMO Berlin II GmbH, Germany; S Immo APM Hungary Kft, Hungary; S IMMO Beteiligungen GmbH, Austria, and Siebenbrunnengasse 19 –21 GmbH & Co OG, Austria. In the second quarter of 2015, the newly founded company S IMMO Property Eins GmbH, Austria, was fully consolidated in the interim consolidated financial statements. In the same period, the subsidiary CEE PROPERTY INVEST ROMANIA SRL, Romania, was merged with the subsidiary DUAL CONSTRUCT INVEST S.R.L., Romania. In the third quarter of 2015, the newly founded company S IMMO Property Zwei GmbH, Austria, was fully consolidated in the interim consolidated financial statements. A business combination as per IFRS 3 did not occur for any of the six newly consolidated companies, as the definition of a business according to IFRS 3 was not met.

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. New mandatory accounting regulations

The amendment to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" entitled "Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions" applies for financial years beginning on 01 July 2014. The annual improvements 2010–2012 cycle also apply for financial years beginning on or after 01 July 2014. These amendments pertain to IFRS 2 "Sharebased Payment", IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement", IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows", IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" and IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures". The annual improvements 2011–2013 cycle apply

from 01 July 2014. The amendments pertain to IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of IFRS", IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" and IAS 40 "Investment Property".

The indicated amended standards and interpretations had no material effects on the recognition and measurement methods or on the presentation of the interim report.

2.3. 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 Group's companies.

Valuation appraisals are generally obtained from independent experts once per year to measure the fair value of all investment properties. The measurement methods are the same as those used for the 2014 annual financial statements and correspond to level 3 of the IFRS 13.86 fair value hierarchy. The valuation result for the investment properties in the third quarter of 2015 is based on internal calculation models with input parameters that have changed since the preparation of the 2014 annual financial statements, but with the same valuation methods as applied for the 2014 annual financial statements.

3.1.2. Owner-operated properties

Owner-operated properties are hotels operated for the S IMMO Group by international hotel chains under management agreements. Both income and expenses of hotel operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations.

3.1.3. Financial assets

The carrying amounts of the non-current and current financial assets correspond largely to their present values.

3.1.4. Inventories

Inventories essentially consist of one freehold apartment (in Austria) and are measured at cost of acquisition and construction. The book value in the consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2015 amounted to kEUR 1,137 (31 December 2014: kEUR 1,394).

The non-controlling interests of kEUR 26,194 (31 December 2014: kEUR 25,855) consisted substantially of Einkaufscenter Sofia G.m.b.H. & Co KG (35% minority interest). The disposals in the amount of kEUR 1,534 (30 September 2014: kEUR 1,734) shown in the statement of changes in consolidated equity are due primarily to distributions.

3.1.8. Subordinated participating certificate capital

The terms of the agreement for S IMMO INVEST participating certificates were changed retroactively with effect from 01 January 2007 (resolution of the meeting of the holders of the participating certificates of 11 June 2007 and resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 12 June 2007).

Under the amended agreement, the holders of the participating certificates receive an annual income entitlement (interest) calculated as follows:

(Participating certificate Consolidated EBIT
*
capital + profit brought
forward)
Average property portfolio
(not including development
projects)

To the extent that the income entitlement under the terms of the Participating Certificates Agreement is not paid out, it is added to the profit carried forward into the next year.

For the nine months ended 30 September 2015, the total share of income entitlements was kEUR 2,160 (31 December 2014: kEUR 6,905).

As at 30 September 2015, there were 653,457 participating certificates in issue. The total entitlements of participating certificate holders as of that date were EUR 84.84 (31 December 2014: EUR 84.50) per certificate and were made up as follows:

The participating certificates mature on 31 December 2029. With effect from 31 December 2017, both the holders and the company may annually give notice of redemption of the participating certificates in whole or in part. Due to the exchange of participating certificates for a bond or the acceptance of the cash offer as described in section 3.1.9., the liabilities arising from the participating certificates continued to decline substantially in the first three quarters of 2015.

On 30 September 2015, the participating certificate tranche with the ISIN AT0000795737 was listed at a price of EUR 85.00 per certificate and the tranche with the ISIN AT0000630694 was listed at a price of EUR 85.00 per certificate, which translates to a fair value of kEUR 55,544.

3.1.9. Issued bonds

In June 2014, S IMMO AG issued a bond (ISIN AT0000A177D2) with a total nominal value of kEUR 89,739.5. The bond is divided into 179,479 units with a nominal value of EUR 500, and was issued in exchange for participating certificates. At the beginning of October 2014, S IMMO AG issued a bond (ISIN AT0000A19SB5) with a total nominal value of kEUR 100,000 divided into 200,000 shares with a nominal value of EUR 500 each.

In April 2015, S IMMO AG issued two more bonds. The bond with the ISIN AT0000A1DBM5 followed a voluntary public offer pursuant to §§ 4 ff Austrian Takeover Act (ÜbG) issued in March 2015 to the holders of the S IMMO INVEST participating certificates with the ISIN AT0000795737 and the ISIN AT0000630694 for the purchase of these participating certificates by way of an alternative exchange and cash offer. A total of 401,312 participating certificates were exchanged for a bond from the company, and 74,457 submitted for the cash offer. The bond with the ISIN AT0000A1DBM5 was issued with a total nominal value of kEUR 33,993.5, broken down into 67,987 shares with a nominal value of EUR 500 each. The exchange of the participating certificates for the bond was recognised according to IAS 39.40. Also in April 2015, S IMMO AG issued a further bond (ISIN AT0000A1DWK5) with a total nominal value of kEUR 65,000 divided into 130,000 shares with a nominal value of EUR 500 each. Taking into account the issue costs to be offset, this resulted in an increase in bond liabilities of kEUR 33,666 and kEUR 64,640 during the reporting period.

The following table shows key data of the issued corporate bonds:

All of the bonds are listed in the Corporates Prime segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange. The market value of the bond liabilities based on the share prices amounted to kEUR 301,956 as at 30 September 2015.

3.1.10. Other financial liabilities

The short-term and long-term financial liabilities amounted to kEUR 869,827 (31 December 2014: kEUR 905,182). The book values indicated for the other financial liabilities largely correspond to the fair values. The maturities of the undiscounted payment flows for future periods are as follows:

298,946 376,093

3.1.11. Derivatives

The S IMMO Group generally uses swaps, caps and collars to manage the interest rate risk in connection with variable-rate property financing. In some cases, interest rate derivatives are concluded for individual projects, and in other cases large volume derivatives are used for financing agreements for a number of individual projects. These derivatives were disclosed under other current and non-current financial assets (kEUR 2,528; 31 December 2014: kEUR 8) and under non-current and current financial liabilities (kEUR 29,964; 31 December 2014: kEUR 61,133). The fair value measurement of derivatives is based on estimates made by external experts. There were no changes to the applied measurement methods or key input parameters compared with the 2014 annual financial statements. The measurement falls under level 2 of the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. CVAs/DVAs were applied for the measurement of derivatives in analogy to the methods as at 31 December 2014 and resulted in minor adjustments of the liabilities from derivatives. In the first nine months of 2015, kEUR -1,122 (Q3 2014: kEUR -2,198) was recognised under equity in other comprehensive income. In the first nine months of 2015, a number of swaps and one collar were settled and new derivatives concluded under current, more advantageous terms. Overall, valuation effects including newly concluded instruments and settlement had a negative effect in the consolidated income statement in the amount of kEUR 6,627 (Q3 2014: positive effect of kEUR 535).
