Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as at 31 March 2017 10
Financial calendar 2017/Contact/Publication details 24

A few weeks ago, we presented you a record result in our 2016 annual report. This was chiefly attributable to the highly profitable sale of parts of our German portfolio. Records make us proud, but they are just the proverbial "icing on the cake". Behind them there is a great deal of operational work, to which we are again dedicating all of our energy in the current year, too.

Our cycle-oriented strategy continues to form the basis for our entrepreneurial activities. In some markets, we are continuing to see lucrative sales opportunities that we wish to take advantage of in certain cases. In other cities, we can still find attractive properties at low prices. Particularly in German cities such as Leipzig and Dresden, we still consider acquisitions to be expedient. In other markets, we are working intensively on our project developments in order to bring new properties onto the market at the right time.

The restructuring of our financing, which we dealt with extensively in 2015, is continuing to bear fruit. For example, the financial result was improved by more than EUR 10m compared with the previous year. This corresponds to a doubling of the very good result of the first quarter of 2015. Net income for the first quarter totalled EUR 16.2m. As expected, this figure is certainly lower than the previous year's figure, which was already significantly influenced by the positive developments on the German market.

Capital market

The S IMMO share can look back on an extremely strong first quarter. Our share ended the quarter at EUR 11.24. Over the first three months of the year, it therefore posted an increase of 12.40% and significantly outperformed both the ATX and the IATX once again. By the time this report went to press on 23 May 2017, the share was already trading at EUR 12.55. Despite the significant price gains, there is still a discount from EPRA NAV, which amounted to EUR 14.95 as at 31 March 2017.

Outlook

Germany remains the measure of all things. We acquired additional properties last year and have expanded our portfolio with a number of properties in the current year, as well. In the first quarter of 2017, we acquired nine properties in Germany that will

be transferred to our portfolio during the second quarter. When making investment decisions, we pay attention to good general conditions and a positive demographic trend.

At the same time, we are pressing ahead with our project developments. The second phase of the renovation of the Sun Plaza in Bucharest is to be completed in autumn and the office developments in Bucharest and Bratislava are also progressing according to plan. We have further very exciting projects on our agenda in Berlin and Vienna.

In everything we do, our primary goal is to create sustainable value for you, our shareholders. To this end, we work with maximum commitment on our markets and across all of our segments every single day. We would like to thank you for your trust – it is our most valuable asset!

S IMMO on the capital market

Until the end of 2016, indices such as the US Dow Jones (DJIA) and the German DAX displayed an impressive performance. This rising trend also continued in the first quarter of 2017. The reasons for this positive development included an economic upturn in the USA, the continuing low interest rate policy and the bond-buying programme of the European Central Bank (ECB). The UK's application to leave the European Union, which was officially submitted at the end of March 2017, has not yet had a significant impact on the development of global share prices.

In the first quarter of the year, European indices in particular displayed an outstanding performance. The DAX, which had already ended 2016 at an all-time high, closed at 12,312.87 points at the end of the quarter – a rise of 7.25%. The EURO STOXX 50, made up of the 50 largest listed companies in the eurozone, ended the first quarter of 2017 with a 6.39% increase. In com-

parison, the Dow Jones only posted an increase of 4.56%. By contrast, the Austrian ATX benchmark index outperformed these indices and closed at 2,828.79 points at the end of the quarter, corresponding to a rise of 8.03% since the beginning of the year. This puts the Austrian stock market at the top of the European equity markets. This positive development was particularly attributable to the thriving economy in the CEE region and the positive results achieved by Austrian companies.

Austrian property shares also benefited from the positive sentiment on the Vienna Stock Exchange. While the GPR General Europe only rose by 1.40%, the sector index for Austrian property shares IATX climbed to 263.08 points by the end of the first quarter of 2017 – an increase of 6.38% since the beginning of the year.

The S IMMO share

On 05 April 2017, S IMMO published the best annual results in the company's history. The good results were also reflected in the development of S IMMO's share price, which closed up 12.40% at EUR 11.24 as at 31 March 2017. It thus significantly outperformed both the ATX and the IATX once again. Trading volumes for the S IMMO share also posted an encouraging increase, which – combined with S IMMO's share price performance – put the share in 23rd place on the ATX watchlist for

Investor relations activities

The Management Board and the IR team took advantage of the S IMMO share's excellent performance and attended numerous investor conferences and roadshows in the first quarter of 2017. These also included new events. For example, S IMMO was present for the first time at a multi-day investor conference held by Oddo Seydler in Lyon. Commerzbank's German Real Estate Conference, held in London, was also attended for the first time this year. After an interval of several years, the S IMMO Management Board and the IR team also met investors in the USA again. Talks were held in Chicago, Philadelphia and New York over a period of three days. S IMMO's strong earnings and cash flow generating portfolio impressed investors here. In addition, established events such as the Erste Group's annual investor conference in London and Raiffeisen Centrobank's annual investor conference in Zürs were on the agenda again up until the end of the quarter.

Interim Management Report

Economic overview

According to the Ifo Institute at the University of Munich, the gross domestic product of the eurozone will improve by 0.5% in the second quarter of 2017 and by 0.4% in the third quarter, driven by private investment and private consumption. The question marks surrounding the future relationship between Great Britain and the EU as well as the unforeseeable consequences of the election in Germany continue to cause economic and political uncertainty. This is being exacerbated by the unpredictable political landscape in the USA. Nevertheless, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects the global economy to expand by 3.5% in 2017.

In Austria, the Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) projects economic growth of 2% for 2017 and 1.8% for 2018. The leading indicators point to robust domestic demand and a strong contribution to economic growth by foreign trade. The unemployment rate in Austria is expected to stagnate at 9.1% (national definition) in 2017 and rise slightly to 9.2% in 2018 (5.9% and 6.0%, respectively, according to the Eurostat definition). According to Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), the inflation rate will come in at 2.2% in 2017 and retreat to 1.8% in 2018.

Real estate market overview

Austria

In the first quarter of 2017, take-up on the Viennese office market amounted to 26,274 m², 57% below the previous year's figure. Overall, a slightly lower rental performance of around 240,000 m² (2016: 329,000 m²) is expected for 2017. The vacancy rate remained unchanged at 5.5%. After decreasing for years, new construction will rise significantly within the next two years. In 2017, around 150,000 m² of new space is expected, with more than half of it already being pre-leased or owner-occupied.

The Viennese hotel industry is continuing its positive trend after setting a new record in overnight stays for the seventh year in a row in 2016. Over the first three months of 2017, the number of overnight stays rose to 2.7 million, an increase of 0.5% compared with the prior year. Net room revenues for January and February 2017 advanced by 15.7%.

Germany

The prices for houses and freehold flats in Germany also rose in the first quarter of 2017. Since the prices have been rising for five consecutive years, corrections are expected soon – especially in the metropolises – according to the Central Real Estate Committee (Zentraler Immobilien Ausschuss).

Berlin's office market recorded a very strong start into the year 2017. Take-up amounted to 200,000 m² − although this is 15% lower than last year, it is 63% above the ten-year average. The vacancy rate decreased by 30% within a year to 4.2%. Prime rents remained at a high level during the first three months and are expected to increase further throughout the year. Regarding new office space, 77,400 m² came onto the market in the first quarter of 2017. Although completions are rising, the numbers are still too low to meet the current high demand.

V.

CEE

On the Budapest office market, demand amounted to 67,000 m² in the first quarter of 2017, which is in line with the five-year average. With a share of around 53%, new deals were the major driver of the leasing activity. According to the Budapest Research Forum, 154 deals with an average size of 435 m² were closed in the first three months of 2017. The vacancy rate decreased further to 9.2% − the lowest rate ever recorded.

Budapest's hotel segment saw a 5.7% year-on-year increase in revenue per available room during the first month of 2017. At the same time, higher costs led to a decline in profit per room.

The Slovakian office market is being supported by positive economic developments such as the declining unemployment rate. Prime rents and yields remained stable in the first quarter of 2017. The strong demand is currently facing a lack of appropriate supply. However, several new projects are expected for 2018.

Bratislava's hotel market benefited from robust economic growth and the fact that Slovakia held the presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2016. Revenue per available room improved by 20.8% compared with the prior year. It remains to be seen whether this positive trend will continue in 2017.

The Prague hotel market achieved a new record in 2016 with 14.7 million overnight stays. Revenue per available room increased by 6%.

Bucharest's office market recorded a total leasing activity of 94,000 m² in the first quarter of 2017, which is a minus of 11% in annual comparison. Nevertheless, the vacancy rate reached a nine-year low of 9.5%. Only two office buildings with a total of 11,600 m² were delivered to the market in the first quarter. Many projects that were announced for delivery in 2017 were postponed. Currently, 13 projects with a gross lettable area of 300,000 m² are expected to come onto the market in 2018.

Sofia's office market recorded a remarkable quarter with a significant take-up growth and increasing development activity. The demand amounted to about 32,000 m², which is a 43% year-onyear rise. Of this, IT and BPO companies accounted for more than 60% and thus remained important players on the leasing market. Due to the high letting activity, the vacancy rate decreased to 9.6%. Although new offices with about 150,000 m² are scheduled for delivery in 2017, the shortage of prime space is still an issue. Since most of the openings are expected for the second half of the year, pre-leases will remain strong.

Sofia's retail market is in a recovery phase with strong tenant activity and slightly increasing prime rents. The opening of a 1,400 m² Forever 21 shop in S IMMO's Serdika Center was one of the most notable lettings in the first quarter of 2017. Regarding supply, no shopping centre openings are scheduled for this year.

Business development and performance

Property portfolio

As at 31 March 2017, S IMMO's property portfolio consisted of 198 (31 December 2016: 194) properties with a book value of EUR 2,096.3m (31 December 2016: EUR 2,063.9m) and a total area of around 1.3 million m² (31 December 2016: 1.3 million m²). The occupancy rate as at the reporting date was 93.8% (31 December 2016: 93.9%). The calculation of the occupancy rate includes income-generating properties for which no development potential has been identified to date. The overall rental yield amounted to 6.1% (31 December 2016: 6.2%).

The properties are situated in the developed markets Austria and Germany as well as the growth market CEE (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia). In terms of book value, 62.5% (31 December 2016: 62.6%) of the properties were in Austria and Germany and 37.5% (31 December 2016: 37.4%) were in CEE as at 31 March 2017.

With regard to use type, 80.6% (31 December 2016: 80.7%) of the portfolio by book value consisted of commercial properties (office, retail and hotel) and a supplementary share of 19.4% (31 December 2016: 19.3%) was made up of residential properties.

Performance – summary

The first three months of 2017 were once again very successful for S IMMO. Total revenues saw a slight increase despite the sales in the previous year and the financial result was improved significantly.

Although net income from property valuation fell short of last year's record result as expected, net profit for the period amounted to a pleasing EUR 16.2m (Q1 2016: EUR 27.6m) due to the positive effects described above. This is twice the net profit of EUR 8.1m achieved in the first quarter of 2015, which was less affected by valuation effects.

Gross profit

S IMMO AG's revenues for the first three months of 2017 totalled EUR 46.5m (Q1 2016: EUR 46.3m), just over the level of the previous year. The rental income included in this figure amounted to EUR 28.9m (Q1 2016: EUR 29.2m).

Broken down by region, rental income for the first quarter of 2017 was as follows: Austria and Germany 53.6% (Q1 2016: 55.2%) and CEE 46.4% (Q1 2016: 44.8%). With respect to rental income by use type, commercial properties contributed 82.8% (Q1 2016: 78.4%) and residential properties 17.2% (Q1 2016: 21.6%).

Revenues from hotel operations (revenues from the Vienna and Budapest Marriott Hotels, both operated under management agreements) rose to EUR 7.4m (Q1 2016: EUR 7.2m). The main reason for this increase was the good performance of the Budapest Marriott Hotel. After half of the available rooms in the Vienna Marriott Hotel were renovated in the first half of 2016, the first half of 2017 is affected by the renovation of the remaining rooms. The renovation work was already completed by the time this report went to press, meaning that this property can be expected to achieve improved performance in the second half of the year. The hotel industry is generally subject to seasonal fluctuations, which is why profit from hotel operations also varies as the year progresses independently of the renovation measures described above.

In the first quarter of 2017, property management expenses amounted to EUR 16.5m (Q1 2016: EUR 16.1m). Gross profit remained at the previous year's level at EUR 23.4m (Q1 2016: EUR 24.0m).

Successful property transactions

In the first three months of 2017, S IMMO was active mainly in terms of acquisitions, focusing exclusively on residential properties in medium-sized German cities. The acquisition of five properties for a total purchase price of just over EUR 12m was closed in the first quarter. In addition, contracts for the acquisition of another 14 properties with a total transaction volume of around EUR 44.8m were concluded by the time this report went to press. A property in Vienna was also sold in the first quarter.

EBITDA and EBIT

EBITDA decreased from EUR 20.3m in the first quarter of 2016 to EUR 19.5m in the first quarter of 2017. Despite another encouragingly high valuation result, the previous year's record level was not matched, resulting in an EBIT for the first quarter of 2017 of EUR 27.2m (Q1 2016: EUR 55.3m).

Financial result

The financial result not including participating certificates improved by around EUR 10.7m year-on-year to EUR -8.5m (Q1 2016: EUR -19.3m). This significant improvement is chiefly attributable to positive effects from derivatives valuation and to lower current expenses for financing. Among other factors, this positive development was facilitated by the restructuring of the derivatives portfolio over the past two years, in which context the hedging periods were also extended considerably. The improvement in the financing structure can also be seen in the development of the cost of funding (financing costs not including bonds or participating certificates), which fell from 3.14% as at 31 March 2016 to 2.94%.

Development of EBT and net profit for the period

EBT amounted to EUR 17.9m (Q1 2016: EUR 34.7m). As a result of the effects described above, net profit for the period came to EUR 16.2m (Q1 2016: EUR 27.6m). Although this did not equal the previous year's record result, S IMMO is still looking back on a very successful first quarter.

Funds from operations (FFO)

FFO I, which is a key indicator for the operating performance of a property company and does not include sales of portfolio properties, rose by 13.5% to EUR 9.9m in the first quarter of 2017 (Q1 2016: EUR 8.8m).

Consolidated statement of financial position

S IMMO Group's total assets increased from EUR 2,278.9m as at 31 December 2016 to EUR 2,335.6m as at 31 March 2017. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 43.8m as at 31 March 2017 (31 December 2016: EUR 66.0m).

In the first quarter of 2017, equity excluding minorities rose to EUR 816.6m (31 December 2016: EUR 795.6m). As a result, the equity ratio remained stable at 36% (31 December 2016: 36%) and the book value per share increased to EUR 12.33 as at 31 March 2017 (31 December 2016: EUR 12.02).

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 relates primarily to the bonds issued by S IMMO AG.

S IMMO's property investments stood at EUR 2,228.1m as at 31 March 2017 (31 December 2016: EUR 2,151.3m). The LTV ratio for financing secured by properties fell to 40.8% in the reporting period (31 December 2016: 41.3%).

S IMMO also has unsecured financing. The LTV ratio for unsecured financing less cash and cash equivalents amounted to 15.6% in the reporting period (31 December 2016: 14.6%). The total LTV ratio of the company amounted to 56.4% (31 December 2016: 55.9%). The calculation of these two key indicators is described in detail in the annual report 2016 (starting on page 26).

Risk management report

S IMMO AG's risk management and an overview of potential risks for the current financial year are set out in detail in the 2016 annual report (starting on page 31). This section deals mainly with specific risks in the coming months.

As a result of its business activities, S IMMO AG is exposed to a large number of risks that are in turn heavily dependent on the economic development in the markets in which it operates. Good forecasts are available for the current financial year. For example, the European Commission is expecting average growth of 1.8% for the EU as a whole (Austria and Germany both 1.6%, Hungary 3.5%, Czech Republic 2.6%, Slovakia and Bulgaria both 2.9% and Romania 4.4%). The zero-interest policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) also seems very likely to continue, which should have a positive impact on economic development. However, there are still major sources of uncertainty including the consequences of Brexit, the elections in Germany, the unpredictable policies of the US, the situation in Turkey and the civil war in Syria.

If economic conditions deteriorate, this would impact potential property-specific and financial risks of S IMMO, which are described in detail in the Annual Report 2016. Volatility on the international securities markets also cannot be ruled out due to the uncertainties described above and the fact that valuations are already relatively high in many asset and industry classes. This could also have an impact on S IMMO's share price performance.

S IMMO counters risks with careful risk monitoring and a responsible risk policy.

The potential risks are also countered by opportunities, as S IMMO is currently benefiting from the dynamic growth on the German property market and the positive economic development in CEE. Against this background, S IMMO is moving forward with its development projects and seizing chances for opportunistic purchases and sales.

Outlook

S IMMO is currently benefiting from the good conditions described above: positive economic development, low interest rates and the associated high price level on the property markets. We are taking advantage of this latter aspect for attractive sales as part of our cycle-oriented strategy. Purchases of existing properties are being made only very selectively at present, with a focus on up-and-coming German cities within our sphere of action.

Alongside investments in our existing portfolio, we are currently focusing on project developments: In Vienna, S IMMO is involved in the Quartier Belvedere Central development at the central station as an investor. On Siebenbrunnengasse in Vienna's fifth municipal district, we are working on a residential and office property. In Berlin, we have a number of projects where renovation and refurbishment work is being carried out.

In CEE, we have completed the first phase of the conversion at our Sun Plaza shopping centre in Bucharest. Up to 40 new shops will be opened in autumn 2017. The office project The Mark, which is also currently being built in the Romanian capital, is located in the central business district. In Bratislava, the modern office project Einsteinova, which is geared towards the highest green building standards, is being developed and 85% of the property is already pre-let.

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 Market segment. It has subsidiaries in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Denmark. As at 31 March 2017, S IMMO Group owned properties in all of the above mentioned countries except Denmark. The Group's principal business is the acquisition, letting and sale of properties in different regions and market segments in order to achieve a balanced investment portfolio. Another business activity is the development and construction of properties in cooperation with project development partners.

2. Accounting and valuation policies

2.1. Accounting policies

The consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2017 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 2016.

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2017, the accounting and valuation policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 have been applied substantially unchanged.

The financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2017 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 included in the consolidation is the year ending on 31 December. In the first quarter of 2017, the previously fully consolidated Austrian company S IMMO Property Drei GmbH was sold.

The consolidated interim financial statements are presented rounded to the nearest 1,000 euros (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

There are no new mandatory standards for the financial year 2017. Although amendments to IAS 7 (as part of the disclosure initiative), to IAS 12 (regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised gains) and to IFRS 12 as part of the annual improvements from the 2012–2014 cycle have been adopted by the IASB, they have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

New standards and interpretations that are already permitted to be applied in the EU but are not yet mandatory for the financial year 2017 have not been applied (see also the detailed information in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2016).

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's Group companies.

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 2016 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 first quarter of 2017 is based on internal calculation models with input parameters that have changed since the preparation of the 2016 annual financial statements but with the same valuation methods as applied for the 2016 annual financial statements. The valuations in the first quarter mainly relate to Germany and CEE.

3.1.11. Derivatives

The S IMMO Group currently uses swaps and caps to manage the interest rate risk in connection with variable-rate property financing. These derivatives were disclosed under current and non-current other financial assets (31 March 2017: kEUR 3,080; 31 December 2016: kEUR 2,580) and under current and noncurrent financial liabilities (31 March 2017: kEUR 26,519; 31 December 2016: kEUR 30,347). 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 2016 annual financial statements. The measurement falls under level 2 of the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. Following the methods used as at 31 December 2016, CVAs/DVAs were used for the measurement of derivatives. In the first three months of 2017, an income of kEUR 2,547 (Q1 2016: expenses of kEUR 5,037) was recognised under equity without affecting the income statement. Overall, valuation effects had a positive effect in the consolidated income statement in the amount of kEUR 364 (Q1 2016: negative effect of kEUR 9,188).
