The year 2019 is gradually drawing to a close and, together with Friedrich Wachernig, Ernst Vejdovszky the quarterly figures as of 30 September, we would like to present you with a quick review. So far it has been a very exciting, and above all, an extremely successful year for S IMMO. After achieving strong results in the first half of the year, we also further increased our key figures in the third quarter. We are benefiting from the investment decisions we have made in the past few years and are actively working to create sustainable value for the years ahead.

As of the end of the third quarter, we thus succeeded in increasing FFO I – a key figure that reflects our operating strength – to EUR 53.0m. We increased our net income for the period from EUR 79.7m in the previous year to EUR 158.9m as of 30 September 2019. This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 2.40. The EPRA NAV rose to EUR 25.09 as of 30 September 2019, clearly demonstrating that there is still great value-enhancement potential on the capital market, too.

Capital market

Midway through the year, the S IMMO share displayed the best performance in the ATX. We have successfully continued this trend and are still the strongest stock in the Austrian benchmark index. As of 30 September, our share was trading at EUR 21.10 – equivalent to a price increase of 45.1% since the start of the year. Looking back further, the S IMMO share has also been considerably outperforming other stocks in its sector for many years. We have demonstrated in the past that we can deliver consistently strong results. S IMMO stands for reliability, fairness, transparency and a high level of expertise. This is also clearly reflected in the share price performance.

Outlook

We are working intensively on our portfolio and securing the basis for future value enhancement. In the short term, this primarily means purchasing existing properties that generate income directly. Just a few weeks ago, we purchased an office property in

the heart of Zagreb that has great potential for the future. In addition, there is still a strong focus on properties in cities such as Erfurt and Leipzig. Here, real estate can still be bought at reasonable prices. The properties deliver good yields even with lower rents, meaning that they offer high value-enhancement potential for the coming years.

In the medium term, we are focusing on project developments on all of our markets and continuously assessing exciting investment opportunities. Taking a long-term perspective, we have secured large reserves of land in the area around Berlin over the past few quarters. We now own more than 1.25 million square metres of land in this commuter belt. We see great potential in this region. These locations should benefit enormously from price increases in Berlin and continuing migration to the city, as well as from people's growing need for places to retreat and to relax.

We are highly confident that we will be able to present you with another round of extremely successful annual results in April next year. In the meantime, we will continue our intensive work on our more than 300 properties and generate added value for you month after month. Finally, we would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us.

S IMMO in the capital market

Capital market environment

In mid-October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised its global economic growth forecast for 2019 and 2020 downwards. According to the IMF, growth of only 3% is expected for 2019 – the lowest since the financial crisis. This trend is being driven by the ongoing trade conflict between the US and China, the climate crisis and Brexit. A so-called hard Brexit in particular would have negative effects for the economy.

As a result of slower economic growth, persistent expansionary monetary policy and the continuation of low interest rate policies are to be expected. Further interest rate cuts are expected from both the US Fed and the European Central Bank (ECB). In this environment, the national and international stock markets have developed positively, especially Austrian property shares.

S IMMO AG securities

The ATX listed S IMMO share put in a remarkable performance in the reporting period and ended the third quarter at a closing price of EUR 21.10. With price growth of 45.1% since the start of the year, the S IMMO share made the biggest price gain in the Prime Market segment. As the above table shows, the share price thus performed much better than the ATX and the IATX as well as international stock market indices such as the DAX, DJIA and S&P 500. A price gain of 225.2% was generated over three years (30 September 2016 to 30 September 2019) and of even 342.5% over five years (30 September 2014 to 30 September 2019). When this report went to press on 19 November 2019, the share was trading at EUR 22.25.

Moreover, the average trading volume for the last 100 days also increased by 17.3% year-on-year to 178,788 shares (double counting). At the end of the third quarter, S IMMO had a market capitalisation of EUR 1,411.95m.

In mid-September, S IMMO invited the bearers of the 4.5% S IMMO bond to submit exchange or repurchase offers on S IMMO debentures, enabling them to exchange their existing debentures for a newly issued S IMMO bond (fixed coupon of 2% p.a. and a term of ten years) or to offer them for repurchase. The offer was a great success with a return rate of 68.2% – debentures with a total nominal value of around EUR 58.9m and around EUR 2.3m were offered for exchange and repurchase, respectively. In a further step, the exchangeable bond was topped up to a volume of EUR 100m in a book-building process in October. The exceptionally high return rate and the attractive yield of the cash subscription offer underscore S IMMO's high level of acceptance on the Austrian capital market.

Investor relations activities

In the reporting period, the management and the Investor Relations team attended the annual SRC Forum in Frankfurt and the Baader Bank Annual Conference in Munich. At roadshows (e.g. with Raiffeisen Centro Bank), talks were held with investors in London, Edinburgh, Paris and Zurich. Investors' interest in S IMMO remains high. Topics under discussion included the corporate strategy, future prospects, the excellent earnings and price performance of recent quarters and the current market trends in S IMMO's individual markets.

Business development and performance

Property portfolio

As of 30 September 2019, S IMMO's property portfolio consisted of 319 properties (31 December 2018: 284) with a book value of EUR 2,263.6m including properties held for sale (31 December 2018: EUR 2,121.4m). The total area came to approximately 1.2 million m² (31 December 2018: 1.2 million m²). In the reporting period, the occupancy rate of the portfolio was 95.4% (31 December 2018: 95.8%). The overall rental yield was 5.5% (31 December 2018: 5.7%).

The properties are located in Austria, Germany and the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. Based on book value, properties in Austria made up 19.3% (31 December 2018: 22.1%) while properties in Germany made up 48.1% (31 December 2018: 45.4%). The properties in CEE accounted for 32.6% (31 December 2018: 32.5%) of the portfolio.

According to main type of use, the property portfolio broke down into 38.2% (31 December 2018: 36.6%) office buildings, 18.8% (31 December 2018: 17.9%) retail properties, 27.8% (31 December 2018: 29.3%) residential properties and 15.2% (31 December 2018: 16.2%) hotels.

Increase in revenues and gross profit

Compared to the first three quarters of the 2018 financial year, revenues saw an increase of 10.7% to EUR 154.5m (Q3 2018: EUR 139.6m). The increase in total revenues was driven by a rise in rental income to EUR 88.2m (Q3 2018: EUR 76.5m) as well as an increase in revenues from hotel operations to EUR 42.0m (Q3 2018: EUR 38.3m).

On the one hand, the improvement in rental income reflects the acquisitions and the good like-for-like performance. On the other hand, the increase in the amount of EUR 4.0m (Q3 2019: EUR 0m) is a result of the first-time adoption of accounting regulations. These require parts of the revenues from operating costs to be reclassified within revenues and to be recognised as rental income. Excluding the shift between revenues from operating costs and rental income, the increase in rental income amounted to EUR 7.7m, or 10.0%.

Broken down by region and not including the reclassification of parts of revenues from operating costs, rental income in the reporting period was as follows: Austria and Germany contributed 58.5% (Q3 2018: 58.3%) and CEE 41.5% (Q3 2018: 41.7%). In terms of main type of use and not including the reclassification within revenues, commercial properties contributed 75.1% (Q3 2018: 75.7%) to the rental income. Residential properties contributed 24.9% (Q3 2018: 24.3%).

Property management expenses increased to EUR 44.8m (Q3 2018: EUR 38.8m). This was primarily due to higher operating expenses. Overall, gross profit improved to EUR 82.5m (Q3 2018: EUR 76.2m) – an increase of 8.3%.

Property transactions

In the first three quarters of 2019, S IMMO was also active in terms of acquisitions and purchased properties with a total value of roughly EUR 38.1m. The holdings of shares in CA Immobilien Anlagen AG and IMMOFINANZ AG did not change due to purchases or sales in the first three quarters of 2019.

Increase in EBITDA and significant rise in the results from property valuation

In the first three quarters of 2019, a property in Germany and a property in Vienna were successfully sold. At EUR 14.7m (Q3 2018: EUR 13.4m), management expenses were in line with the prior-year level, which meant EBITDA improved by 8.0% year-on-year to EUR 67.8m (Q3 2018: EUR 62.8m).

The result from property valuation for the first three quarters of 2019 amounted to EUR 137.3m (Q3 2018: EUR 45.8m). The majority of positive valuations is attributable to the Germany segment. However, satisfying increases in valuations were also seen in the Austria and CEE segments.

Due to the operating successes and the excellent results from property valuation, EBIT increased by 93.2% to EUR 198.8m (Q3 2018: EUR 102.9m).

Development of financial results

In the first nine months of the year, S IMMO earned dividend income of EUR 17.0m (Q3 2018: EUR 14.3m) for its shares in IMMOFINANZ AG and CA Immobilien Anlagen AG. On the expense side, non-cash derivative expenses increased to EUR -11.2m (Q3 2018: EUR +1.3m) due to the recent decline in interest rates. In addition, there was a slight rise in interest expenses in connection with the property investments made and another bond issue in the second quarter of 2019.

The result from companies measured according to the equity method contributed EUR 8.1m (Q3 2018: EUR 2.3m) to the financial results.

The cost of funding including bond interest and derivatives decreased from 2.53% as of 31 December 2018 to 2.46% as of 30 September 2019.

Significant increase in EBT and earnings per share

EBT rose by 92.0% and amounted to EUR 183.2m (Q3 2018: EUR 95.4m) despite the higher non-cash derivative expenses. Net income for the period increased by EUR 79.2m to EUR 158.9m (Q3 2018: EUR 79.7m). Consequently, earnings per share (EPS) also increased to a very gratifying EUR 2.40 (Q3 2018: EUR 1.20).

Consolidated statement of financial position

S IMMO Group's total assets increased from EUR 2,720.1m as of 31 December 2018 to EUR 3,093.6m as of 30 September 2019. Investment property rose from EUR 1,954.3m as of 31 December 2018 to EUR 2,128.8m as of 30 September 2019. This development is attributable to acquisitions and the positive valuation result in all segments. The "other financial assets" item increased to EUR 545.1m (31 December 2018: EUR 453.0m), primarily due to the positive valuations of the shares in IMMOFINANZ AG and CA Immobilien Anlagen AG.

Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 191.9m as of the end of the third quarter of 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 73.3m). This increase is partly attributable to the issue of a corporate bond with a total nominal value of EUR 150m and a fixed coupon rate of 1.875% p.a. in the second quarter of 2019, as well as to disposals and good operating results.

Significant equity increase despite substantially higher dividend distribution

In the second quarter, a much higher dividend of EUR 0.70 per share was distributed (2018 dividend for the financial year 2017: EUR 0.40 per share). Nevertheless, the equity ratio increased compared with the level at the end of the year and came to 41.3% as of 30 September 2019 (31 December 2018: 40.9%). Equity not including minority shares increased to EUR 1,275.4m in the first three quarters of 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 1,108.9m). As a result, the EPRA NAV per share rose to EUR 25.09 (31 December 2018: EUR 21.25). To calculate the EPRA NAV, the book value per share is adjusted for the revaluation of other non-current investments, derivative valuations and deferred taxes.

On the whole, operating successes and the significantly improved valuation result led to an increase in the book value per share to EUR 19.26 (31 December 2018: EUR 16.75 per share).

Financing

A key figure for the assessment of the financing structure is the loan-to-value ratio (LTV ratio), which is the ratio between the book values of financing instruments (not including the fair values of derivatives) and the reported property investments. 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. The latter largely comprises bonds issued by S IMMO AG. S IMMO's reported property investments including properties held for sale and the investments in shares in IMMOFINANZ AG and CA Immobilien Anlagen AG amounted to EUR 2,808.7m as of 30 September 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 2,573.4m). The LTV ratio for financing secured with properties decreased to 34.4% compared to 36.3% as of 31 December 2018.

S IMMO has unsecured financing as well. The LTV ratio for unsecured financing less cash and cash equivalents amounted to 12.9% as of 30 September 2019 (31 December 2018: 14.1%). Overall, the company's LTV ratio as of 30 September 2019 decreased to 47.2% (31 December 2018: 50.4%).

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the bond with the ISIN AT0000A19SB5 was redeemed on maturity as planned. Also in the fourth quarter, another bond with the ISIN AT0000A2AEA8 was issued with a total nominal value of EUR 100m, a coupon of 2% p.a. and a term of ten years. This bond was issued partly in exchange for the bond with the ISIN AT0000A177D2, which matures in 2021 and has a coupon of 4.5% p.a.

Further information

In view of the changed rules for Wiener Börse AG's prime market segment, S IMMO AG has adjusted its quarterly report for the first and third quarter of 2019. The adjustment has been made to the extent that the additional information provided below was not prepared in accordance with requirements of IAS 34. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2018.

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 and Bulgaria. As of 30 September 2019, S IMMO Group owned properties in all the above countries. 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.

2. Accounting and valuation policies

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended on 30 September 2019, the accounting and valuation policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2018 have been applied substantially unchanged, except where new accounting regulations were required to be applied. New effective standards, particularly including "IFRS 16 – Leases", did not result in any significant effects.

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 included in the consolidation is the year ending on 31 December.

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.

3. Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

3.1. Investment properties

Investment properties include purchases in all segments. The changes arising from the first-time application of IFRS 16 are not material.

3.2. Other financials assets

Other financial assets mainly include shares in the companies IMMOFINANZ AG and CA Immobilien Anlagen AG that are accounted for as FVOCI (fair value through OCI). In the first three quarters of 2019, there were no transactions in the equity instruments mentioned above. All valuation effects are recognised in other comprehensive income.

3.3. Issued bonds

In May 2019, a fixed-rate corporate bond was issued with a total nominal value of EUR 150m, a term of seven years and a coupon of 1.875% p.a. In October 2019, a fixed-rate corporate bond was issued with a total nominal value of EUR 100m, a term of ten years and a coupon of 2% p.a. The bond is listed on the official market of the Vienna Stock Exchange in the Corporates Prime segment.

3.4. Rental income

As a result of new effective IFRS regulations, revenues (building tax and building insurance billed to tenants) that were shown as revenues from operating costs until 31 December 2018 will be reported as rental income for the first time in the 2019 financial year. The previous year's figures have not been adjusted. Because this is solely a reclassification within revenues, they remain unchanged overall in methodological terms compared to the previous years.

Rental income under the old regulations and broken down by the type of use of the properties is shown below, along with the cumulative change in presentation:

EUR '000 01 – 09 / 2019 01 – 09 / 2018
Office 27,565 25,197
Residential 21,003 18,564
Retail 32,054 29,182
Hotels 3,580 3,590
Subtotal "old" 84,202 76,533
Reclassification of former
operating costs 4,007 n/a
Rental income according to the
consolidated income statement
88,209 76,533

4. Operating segments

Segment reporting for S IMMO Group is based on geographical regions. The assessment and analysis of the regional structure follows the strategic direction, which differentiates between Austria, Germany and CEE. The regions are as follows:

Austria: This operating segment includes all the Group's Austrian subsidiaries, apart from those with property in Germany.

Germany: This operating segment includes the German subsidiaries and also subsidiaries in Austria (under Austrian company law) holding properties in Germany.

CEE: This operating segment comprises the subsidiaries in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.

In preparing and presenting the segment information, the same accounting and valuation policies are applied as for the consolidated financial statements.

Each division is operated independently of every other division. The chief operating decision maker for the divisions is the CEO.

3.5. Gains on property disposals

In the first quarter of 2019, one property was sold in the German segment and one property in the Austrian Segment was sold in the third quarter 2019.

These interim financial statements have been prepared and proofread with the greatest possible care, and the information in them has been checked. Nevertheless, the possibility of rounding errors, errors in transmission or typesetting 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 these interim financial statements is as far as possible gender neutral. Therefore, the terms used refer to people of both genders. These interim financial statements contain 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 financial statements were 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 of the annual report occur, then the actual outcomes may differ from those currently expected. These interim financial statements neither contain nor imply 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. These interim financial statements have been prepared in the German language, and only the German language version is authentic. The interim financial statements in other languages are a translation of the German interim financial statements.
