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. Apparent arithmetical errors may be the result of rounding errors caused by software. In the interests of simplicity and readability, the language of this Interim Report is as far as possible gender neutral. Therefore, the terms used refer to people of both genders. This Interim Report contains information and forecasts relating to the future development of S IMMO AG and its subsidiaries. These forecasts are estimates, based on the information available to us at the time the Interim Report was prepared. Should the assumptions on which the forecasts are based prove to be unfounded, or should events of the kind described in the risk report occur, then the actual outcomes may differ from those currently expected. This Interim Report neither contains nor implies a recommendation either to buy or to sell shares or other financial instruments of S IMMO AG. Past events are not a reliable indicator of future developments. This Interim Report has been prepared in the German language, and only the German language version is authentic. The Interim Report in other languages is a translation of the German Report.

Halfway through the current year, we can again report a record result. We increased funds from operations (FFO I), a key indicator for assessing a property company's operating success, to an alltime high of EUR 34.4m.

In the last two years, we sold properties worth EUR 700m in total. These sales were highly lucrative for our company and were part of our cycle-oriented strategy. But of course, sales of this magnitude mean a decrease in rental income and associated key figures. Therefore, 2018 is a year of transition for us. From next year on, purchases and our ongoing project developments will make up for these reductions again. What makes us even prouder is the fact that even in a transition year like this, we still managed to achieve this record figure at the operating level. It illustrates both the effectiveness of our strategy and the high quality of our day-to-day work on and with our portfolio.

Capital market

In the first half-year, our share developed positively and was trading at EUR 16.72 as of 30 June 2018. When this report went to press on 27 August 2018, the share was already trading at EUR 18.14. Interest in our share from national and international investors remains high. This is also reflected by the sharp rise in liquidity in the first half-year. In addition, as a continuation of our sustainable dividend strategy, a distribution of EUR 0.40 per share was approved at the Annual General Meeting.

Outlook

We are currently observing a very high price level in our markets. Nevertheless, there are still attractive buying opportunities in individual regions, and especially in Germany. In particular, we are focusing on cities with substantial demographic and economic growth potential such as Leipzig, Rostock or Kiel. Furthermore, we are always considering exciting investment opportunities in our other markets.

At the same time, we are continuing our project developments. The Einsteinova Business Center – which is already fully leased – will be handed over to tenants during the summer, and we are still on target to finish the office building The Mark in Bucharest this year. There are also other exciting projects on our agenda in Berlin.

Consequently, our situation at mid-year is once again positive, and we look forward to continuing our dedicated work and being able to report on further success stories at the end of the year. Ultimately, our main goal is to create sustainable value for you, our esteemed shareholders. This is what comes first in everything we do.

S IMMO in the capital market

Capital market environment

The US economy is showing solid growth and continues to benefit from the tax reform which was introduced at the beginning of the year. The US stock market also records a stable performance with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) ending the second quarter at 24,271.41 points – a slight increase of 0.7% compared to the previous quarter. In comparison, the S&P 500 increased by 1.7% in the second quarter.

Domestic demand was the main driver of growth in the eurozone. At 1.7%, the German benchmark index DAX saw a slight gain and was listed at 12,306.00 points as of 30 June 2018. In contrast, the Austrian benchmark index ATX recorded a decrease of 5.0% in the second quarter, achieving 3,255.96 points at the end of the quarter. The high for the year so far was 3,688.78 points on 23 January 2018.

Share price development

The domestic real estate industry continued its stable upward trend. The IATX index for Austrian property shares recorded a gain of 1.1% compared to the previous quarter (a 2.3% increase since the beginning of the year) and ended the first half-year at 337.98 points.

Risk factors for global capital markets continue to be the protectionist behaviour of the US, the anticipated countermeasures and the economic consequences in the event of a "hard Brexit".

Price performance of the S IMMO share

In the first half-year, the S IMMO share also developed positively and was trading at EUR 16.72 as of 30 June 2018. This represents a year-on-year increase of 31.7% and a gain of 3.9% in the second quarter. As of the end of the second quarter, S IMMO AG had a market capitalisation of approximately EUR 1.1 billion. In 2018, the stable and sustainable dividend policy was continued with a distribution of EUR 0.40 per share for the financial year 2017. It was effected on 16 May 2018. As of 27 August 2018, when this report went to press, the share was trading at EUR 18.14.

The share's liquidity also developed positively. Investors' interest in the S IMMO share has increased due to the fact that the company has been listed on the Austrian benchmark index ATX since September 2017 and the potential for consolidation on the Austrian

Investor relations activities

The 29th Annual General Meeting of S IMMO AG was held at the Vienna Marriott Hotel on 03 May 2018. The voting results are published on the company's website www.simmoag.at.

Furthermore, the Management Board and the IR team took part in numerous investor conferences and roadshows in the reporting period. In the second quarter of 2018, S IMMO AG's Management and Investor Relations team met investors in Paris (Invest Securities), London (Baader Bank, Feros Advisers), Zurich (Baader Bank), Budapest (Concorde Securities) and Edinburgh (Feros Advisers). After the successful roadshow in the United States last year, the management visited US funds again in New York, Boston, Chicago and Minneapolis in the second quarter.

Regular contact with Austrian private investors is also an important part of the company's IR activities. The S IMMO share is also attractive to private individuals owing to the diversified property portfolio in terms of type of use and region, the sustainable dividend policy and the positive share price growth in recent months. At the stock market information days of the Vienna Stock Exchange in Dornbirn and Innsbruck, S IMMO AG was presented to investment advisers.

Interim Management Report

Economic overview

According to Eurostat, gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 0.3% in the eurozone and 0.4% in the European Union (EU) in the second quarter of 2018. In year-on-year terms, GDP increased by 2.1% in the eurozone and 2.2% in the EU in the second quarter of 2018. Economic growth is expected to slow down to 1.9% in the eurozone in 2019. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects growth of 3.9% for the global economy.

Following a rapid surge in growth last year, economic activity in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) lost momentum in the first half of 2018. Although private consumption, fixed investments and increased utilisation of EU funding made a positive contribution to economic growth in CEE, the demand for goods from CEE declined in the EU.

Austria's economy remains robust. With growth of 0.7% in the second quarter of 2018, GDP expanded almost as quickly as in the previous quarter. According to the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO), GDP growth came to 2.3% in year-on-year terms. The Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) forecasts economic growth of 1.9% for 2019.

Real estate market overview

Austria

The Viennese office market recorded a total take-up of 52,100 m² in the second quarter, which is around 86% more than in the prioryear period. The high demand is also reflected in the high preletting rate of 60%. The vacancy rate decreased to 4.7%.

The Viennese hotel market reached another record high in the first half-year. Overnight stays amounted to more than 7.2 million and thus achieved a plus of 4.1% compared to the same period of the prior year. Net room revenues registered an increase of 4.9% for the period between January and June 2018.

Germany

Purchase prices and rents for apartments remain high in major German cities. In some regions, there are initial indications of a downward trend. However, owing to the continuing strong demand and supply shortage, it is nonetheless unlikely that the price pressure will decrease in the near future.

Berlin's office market remains on a successful path. An area of 382,000 m² was completed within the first half-year. The vacancy rate amounted to 2.1%, which is lower than in any other major German office location. The market is reacting to the strong demand with an area of 622,000 m² under construction, of which 278,000 m² are already pre-let.

Estimated figure based on preliminary data

CEE

Three new office buildings encompassing an area of 57,060 m² were delivered to the Budapest office market in the second quarter of 2018. The total demand amounted to 161,550 m², which corresponds to an increase of 64% in comparison to the prior-year period. Take-up totalled 106,800 m². New leases accounted for 37%, amounting to an area of 60,460 m². Overall, 196 lease agreements with an average size of 824 m² were concluded. Currently, there are 461,800 m² under construction, of which 168,200 m² are scheduled to be completed this year. The vacancy rate exhibited a slight upward trend, reaching 7.6% by the end of the second quarter.

The hotel market in the CEE region remains highly promising. In Budapest, the revenue per available room recorded a 5% year-onyear increase in April. From January to May 2018, the total number of overnight stays increased by 7%. The occupancy rate registered in May amounted to around 64%. The outlook for the Prague hotel market also remains positive. A stable occupancy rate of around 80% is expected. Due to the lack of hotels in the luxury segment, several conversions of centrally located office buildings into luxury hotels are scheduled.

The existing supply on the Bratislava office market might have an impact on the vacancy rate, which reached an all-time low of 5.8% in June. The office market may change from a landlord's market to a tenant's market. Currently, prime rents remain on a stable level of 16.00 EUR/m² per month.

In Bucharest, demand remained strong on the office market. Around 150,000 m² were leased in the second quarter. Pre-leases accounted for 43% of the total transactions, followed by lease renewals at 18.6%. Around 28,000 m² of new office space were delivered to the market and more than 175,000 m² are expected to be completed over the course of the second half-year, the majority of which is already leased. The vacancy rate amounted to 7.7%.

The Romanian retail market has come under slight pressure in recent months, as it was impacted by the higher interest rates and weakening of the Romanian Leu. Due to the increase in average wages, however, the market is expected to recover soon. Between January and June 2018, gross retail trade turnover grew by 6.5%. In addition, high interest from retailers is keeping the vacancy rate low.

Business and earnings development

Property portfolio

As of 30 June 2018, S IMMO's property portfolio consisted of 267 (31 December 2017: 241) properties with a book value of EUR 1,932.6m including properties held for sale (31 December 2017: EUR 1,839.7m) and a total area of around 1.2 million m² (31 December 2017: 1.2 million m²). The occupancy rate of the portfolio in the reporting period was 95.1% (31 December 2017: 94.8%). The overall rental yield was 6.1% (31 December 2017: 6.1%).

The properties are located in Austria, Germany and in the CEE region. Based on book value, properties in Austria made up 22.8% (31 December 2017: 23.9%), while properties in Germany were 43.7% (31 December 2017: 42.0 %) of the portfolio. The properties in CEE accounted for 33.5% (31 December 2017: 34.1%).

Based on the main type of use, the portfolio broke down into 37.2% office buildings (31 December 2017: 39.3%), 20.5% retail properties (31 December 2017: 21.4%), 27.0% residential properties (31 December 2017: 27.0%) and 15.3% hotels (31 December 2017: 12.3%).

Earnings development – Summary

In the very successful 2016 and 2017 financial years, in which S IMMO achieved best and second-best results in its history, the company sold properties totalling EUR 700m, including the Viertel Zwei in Vienna and Serdika Shopping Center in Sofia. Owing to these cycle-oriented disposals, outstanding revaluation results were generated. At the same time, property sales of this size subsequently result in corresponding decreases in rental income and other related key figures. Therefore, 2018 is a year of transition for S IMMO.

This year, owing to property purchases in Germany and a positive like-for-like performance of the portfolio properties, rental income of EUR 50.4m (HY 2017: EUR 58.5m) has already been generated. Thus, reduced revenues have already been partly offset.

With an FFO I of EUR 34.4m (HY 2017: EUR 26.7m), a record figure was achieved at the operating level in the first half of 2018. The financial results also significantly improved to EUR -1.3m (HY 2017: EUR -21.6m). This positive development is attributable to dividend income from the shareholdings in CA Immobilien Anlagen AG and IMMOFINANZ AG. However, lower borrowing costs and derivative expenses due to property sales and the cancellation of participating certificates also contributed to the improved financial results.

Development of gross profits

Due to property sales in the previous year, total revenues amounted to EUR 91.0m (HY 2017: EUR 97.5m) in the first half of 2018. The decrease in rental income due to disposals was countered effectively by property purchases in Germany and positive like-forlike performance of the portfolio properties.

1 Not including Vienna Marriott Hotel and Budapest Marriott Hotel

Broken down by region, rental income in the first half of 2018 was as follows: Austria and Germany contributed 58.1% (HY 2017: 53.8%) and CEE 41.9% (HY 2017: 46.2%). In terms of main type of use, commercial properties contributed 76.0% (HY 2017: 82.4%) and residential properties 24.0% (HY 2017: 17.6%) of the rental income.

In addition, after the first halves of both 2016 and 2017 were impacted by the renovation of the Vienna Marriott Hotel, there was a significant increase in revenues from hotel operations in the first half of 2018 to EUR 24.1m (HY 2017: EUR 19.6m). Gross profits from hotel operations increased to EUR 7.1m (HY 2017: EUR 3.6m). The property disposals also had a positive effect on property management expenses, which were reduced to EUR 26.2m (HY 2017: EUR 29.9m).

Property transactions

In the first half of 2018, S IMMO was selectively active in terms of acquisitions and purchased properties with a total value of EUR 57.9m. The focus was on properties in medium-sized German cities with strong potential for economic and demographic growth.

Development of EBITDA and EBIT

In the first half of 2018, EBITDA amounted to EUR 39.6m (HY 2017: EUR 43.8m). The decline in EBITDA related to sales was largely limited due to significantly improved gross profits from hotel operations and a positive like-for-like development of rental income. The revaluation gains amounted to EUR 18.6m (HY 2017: EUR 69.3m). EBIT also decreased in the first half of 2018 to EUR 54.4m (HY 2017: EUR 108.9m), primarily due to lower noncash property valuation effects.

Significantly improved financial results

In the first half of 2018, the financial results including participating certificates improved to EUR -1.3m (HY 2017: EUR -21.6m). This positive development was the result of higher dividend income of EUR 14.3m (HY 2017: EUR 4.3m) from the shareholdings in CA Immobilien Anlagen AG and IMMOFINANZ AG, improved derivatives valuations and lower financing costs due to property sales last year. Another positive effect was achieved with the elimination of participating certificate expenses (HY 2017: EUR 2.7m).

Furthermore, the cost of funding (financing costs excluding bonds and participating certificate costs) was reduced from 2.84% as of 30 June 2017 to 2.21% as of 30 June 2018.

Despite the operational improvements, the lower property valuations primarily impacted the EBT, which dropped to EUR 53.1m (HY 2017: EUR 87.2m). Net income for the period attributable to the shareholders of the parent company amounted to EUR 47.8m (HY 2017: EUR 68.5m). Earnings per share came to EUR 0.72 (HY 2017: EUR 1.03).

Consolidated statement of financial position

S IMMO Group's total assets increased from EUR 2,272.3m as of 31 December 2017 to EUR 2,517.8m as of 30 June 2018. The stake in IMMOFINANZ AG was increased to just below 12%, while the holdings in CA Immobilien Anlagen AG were expanded to a much lesser extent in the reporting period. This means "other financial assets" increased overall to EUR 452.5m as of 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: EUR 300.2m). The dividend income in connection with these acquisitions was a significant driver for the considerable improvement in the financial results.

Cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the second quarter of 2018 totalled EUR 56.6m (31 December 2017: EUR 73.4m). In the first quarter of 2018, two additional bonds were issued with a volume of EUR 100m for the six-year bond and a volume of EUR 50m for the twelve-year bond. Both bonds have coupons with a fixed interest rate: 1.75% p.a. for the six-year bond and 2.875% p.a. for the twelve-year bond.

Equity not including minority shares increased in the first half of 2018 to EUR 955.6m (31 December 2017: EUR 940.8m). Thus, despite the dividend distribution in the second quarter of 2018, the book value per share improved to EUR 14.44 (31 December 2017: EUR 14.21). The equity ratio decreased to 38.0% as of 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: 41.6%).

Financing

A key figure for the assessment of the financing structure is the loan-to-value ratio (LTV ratio). S IMMO distinguishes between two types of this key figure: the LTV ratio for financing secured with properties (mortgages) and the LTV ratio for unsecured financing. Most of the latter are bonds issued by S IMMO AG.

S IMMO's reported property investments including properties held for sale amounted to EUR 2,383.8m as of 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: EUR 2,138.2m). At 36.6% (31 December 2017: 36.6%), the LTV ratio for financing secured with properties remained stable. S IMMO has unsecured financing as well. The LTV ratio for unsecured financing less cash and cash equivalents increased to 18.0% (31 December 2017: 12.7%) in the reporting period, primarily due to bond issues in the first quarter. In total, the company's LTV ratio is 54.6% (31 December 2017: 49.3%). The calculation method for both key figures is described in detail in the 2017 Annual Report.

Risk management report

S IMMO AG is exposed to all industry-specific risks in connection with its business activities (the purchase, letting, development and sale of properties across various regions and types of use). These include strategic, property-specific, financial and other risks. By identifying, analysing, managing and monitoring risks and opportunities, the company strives to detect negative developments and potential success factors in good time and take them into account in its decision-making processes.

Potential risks for the current financial year and the risk management of S IMMO AG are set out in detail in the 2017 Annual Report (starting on page 67).

The probability of occurrence of the stated risks depends on a large number of factors such as economic development in the respective markets or the cyclical fluctuations to which the property industry is exposed. S IMMO invests in properties and property companies within the European Union, and its portfolio is diversified by region and type of use.

According to European Commission forecasts, the robust economic growth of the past quarters is set to continue. For the EU and the eurozone, GDP is expected to expand by approximately 2% in 2018 and 2019. The forecast for Austria is also positive. Accordingly, economic growth of 2.8% is expected for 2018 and 2.1% for 2019. The IHS is forecasting domestic GDP growth of 1.9% for the coming year. The reasons for this estimate include the continuing improvement of conditions in the employment market, positive sentiment among consumers and a supportive monetary policy.

Despite these positive forecasts, uncertainty factors have intensified also, e.g. the increasing oil price and the global trade tensions.

As far as property markets are concerned, the company anticipates stable selling and rental prices and continued good occupancy rates for its properties. If the economic situation in the markets were to deteriorate unexpectedly, the Group would have to expect an increase in industry, property portfolio, property valuation, letting and rental default risk.

In addition to the risks associated with its operating activities, S IMMO is exposed to the market risk in the capital markets as a listed company. Moreover, S IMMO holds a significant amount of shares in IMMOFINANZ AG and CA Immobilien Anlagen AG. As property investment companies and property developers, both of these companies are exposed to similar risks to those of S IMMO. The shares of IMMOFINANZ and CA Immo are listed in the Austrian ATX benchmark index and are subject to market price risks that could have a negative impact on S IMMO's equity.

In addition to internal regulations and guidelines, risk management at S IMMO comprises ongoing reports to the Management Board in the context of regular meetings. Furthermore, there are control measures for the purpose of the early detection, management and monitoring of risks. The Management Board takes the key riskrelevant decisions. An Internal Control System (ICS) is in place for all key business processes. In addition, accounting provisions are made for potential risks.

Potential risks are also countered by opportunities: S IMMO is benefiting from the dynamic growth on the German property market and the strong economic development in CEE. Against this backdrop, the company is carrying out development projects and making opportunistic purchases and sales as and when appropriate.

Outlook

Taking advantage of property cycles is a key part of our strategy. In this context, S IMMO combines regions and types of use with a view to generating income and securing it for the years ahead. S IMMO AG continues to benefit from the positive economic developments in its markets, the low-interest environment and the high price levels for many properties.

S IMMO's projects are at different phases of the property cycle and are developing well. The Einsteinova Business Center in Bratislava – which is already fully leased – will be handed over to the tenants during the summer, and the office building The Mark in Bucharest is still on track to be finished this year.

In terms of acquisitions, S IMMO is currently primarily active in Germany again. Properties are being purchased in up-and-coming major German cities such as Leipzig, Kiel and Erfurt. These cities have a good demographic profile and growth potential as a result of the strong population influx. Furthermore, individual purchase options are also being reviewed in CEE.

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 ultimate 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 and since 2007 in the Prime Market segment. S IMMO was included in the Austrian ATX benchmark index for the first time on 18 September 2017. It has subsidiaries in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Denmark. As of 30 June 2018, S IMMO Group owned properties in all the above countries except Denmark. S IMMO Group is an international real estate group that engages in buying, selling, real estate project development, letting, asset management, and operating hotels and shopping centres as well as in revitalising and renovating properties in Austria, Germany and CEE (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia).

2. Accounting and valuation policies

2.1. Accounting policies

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2018 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 on 31 December 2017.

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2018, the accounting and valuation policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2017 have been applied substantially unchanged.

The financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2018 have neither been audited nor reviewed by independent auditors.

The accounting policies of all companies included in the 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 2018, S IMMO Property Neun GmbH (Austria) and S IMMO Property Zehn GmbH (Austria) were fully consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of S IMMO AG for the first time. A business combination as per IFRS 3 did not occur for the two 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 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

For the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a clarification to IFRS 15 and amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 28 (AIP 2014–2016) were applicable from 01 January 2018 onwards. For a more detailed description of these, and future changes and their impact on the consolidated financial statements, please refer to the 2017 consolidated financial statements. None of the new standards to be applied had any significant impact on these interim financial statements. For one equity investment previously measured at amortised cost less impairment, the book value was adjusted by kEUR 1,970 on the basis of IFRS 9. The change was recognised with an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

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.

Appraisals are generally obtained from independent experts once a year to measure the fair value of all investment properties. The measurement methods are the same as those used for the 2017 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 half of 2018 is based on internal calculation models with input parameters that have changed since the preparation of the 2017 annual financial statements but with the same valuation methods as applied for the 2017 annual financial statements or on purchase contracts. The valuations of the first halfyear apply to all segments.

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. Other financial assets

Other financial assets include mainly shares in the companies IMMOFINANZ AG and CA Immobilien Anlagen AG that were accounted for as available-for-sale securities according to IAS 39 until the initial application of IFRS 9. At the time of the initial application of IFRS 9 (01 January 2018), the Management Board took the decision to recognise these equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. As a result, the cumulative historical gains and losses from the previous measurement at fair value were reclassified from other comprehensive income (realised through profit or loss) to other comprehensive income (not realised through profit or loss) as of 01 January 2018. In contrast to IAS 39, IFRS 9 no longer permits recycling from other comprehensive income to the income statement. In the first half of the year, S IMMO acquired a package of 60,000,000 shares in IMMOFINANZ AG over the counter. In addition, much smaller quantities of shares in IMMOFINANZ AG and CA Immobilien Anlagen AG were purchased on the stock exchange. Dividend income totalling kEUR 14,332 was realised through profit or loss in the reporting period (HY 2017: kEUR 4,302).

3.1.4. Inventories

Inventories exist to a minor extent and are measured at cost. The net realisable value of inventories does not exceed their book values.

3.1.7. Participating certificates (subordinated)

In the second quarter of 2017, S IMMO exercised the cancellation right and cancelled all participating certificates it had issued effective from 31 December 2017. As a result, income entitlements and hidden reserves were allocated for the financial year 2017 for the last time.

The participation certificate liability determined in this way as of 31 December 2017 was approved by the Supervisory Board at the meeting on 04 April 2018. All payments have been made in accordance with the contract within one month from this date.

3.1.8. Issued bonds

In February 2018, S IMMO AG issued two bonds. A bond (ISIN AT0000A1Z9D9) with a total nominal value of kEUR 100,000 divided into 200,000 shares with a nominal value of EUR 500 each and a second bond (ISIN AT0000A1Z9C1) with a total nominal value of kEUR 50,000 divided into 100,000 shares with a nominal value of EUR 500 each. Taking into account the issuing costs to be offset, this resulted in an addition of bond liabilities of kEUR 99,134 or kEUR 49,708 in the reporting period.

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

All of the bonds are listed in the Corporates Prime segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange.

3.1.9. Other financial liabilities

Other current and non-current financial liabilities, including the financial liabilities reported in liabilities relating to assets held for sale, amounted to kEUR 940,288 (31 December 2017: kEUR 799,987).

3.1.10. Derivatives

The S IMMO Group currently uses swaps and caps to manage the interest rate risk in connection with property financing at variable interest rates. These derivatives were disclosed under other financial assets (30 June 2018: kEUR 894; 31 December 2017: kEUR 1,170) and under other financial liabilities (30 June 2018: kEUR 17,671; 31 December 2017: kEUR 17,130). 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 2017 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 of 31 December 2017.

In the first six months of 2018, this resulted in expenses of kEUR 1,151 (HY 2017: expenses kEUR 243) recognised directly in equity. Overall, valuation and OCI recycling effects had a negative effect in the consolidated income statement for the first six months of 2018 in the amount of kEUR 469 (HY 2017: negative effect in the consolidated income statement of kEUR 4,953).

3.2. Consolidated income statement

3.2.1. Rental income

Rental income by properties' type of use was as follows:

50,403 58,543
Hotel 2,406 2,432
Retail 19,366 23,258
Residential 12,116 10,281
Office 16,515 22,572
EUR '000 01–06 / 2018 01–06 / 2017

The decrease in rental income is primarily due to disposals of the properties Viertel Zwei and Serdika Shopping Center with its accompanying office property in the third quarter of 2017. The reduction was partially offset by acquisitions and a positive like-forlike performance.

3.2.2. Operating costs and expenses from properties and hotel operations

These expenses are almost exclusively expenses related to investment properties. They consist mainly of operating costs, valuation allowances for rents receivable, maintenance expenses and commissions.

The expenses of hotel operations are made up largely of expenses for food, beverages, catering supplies, hotel rooms, licences and management fees, maintenance, operating costs, commissions, personnel expenses and advertising. Both income and expenses of hotel operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations.

The number of employees in the Group in the first half of 2018 averaged 591 (HY 2017: 575), including hotel staff. Personnel expenses for the hotels are disclosed under hotel operations.

3.2.3. Gains on property disposals

A property in Berlin, Germany was sold in the first half of 2018.
