You may have noticed that this report is somewhat shorter than those published in previous years. Since the start of 2019, reports on the first and third quarter have been optional for all listed companies. We consider it important to keep informing you each quarter – especially with a view to providing transparent and continuous communication – and to give you an overview of our business development. However, we have condensed the report and reduced it to the essentials – which is also in line with our sustainability aspirations. If you require any further information, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
At the start of April 2019, we presented you with a record result for 2018. Now – just two months later – we can confirm that we remain on course to post clear growth in the current financial year, too. Significant key figures have increased year-on-year. Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.23 and the EPRA NAV came to EUR 22.27.
Capital market
In the first quarter of 2019, the international capital markets showed a clear upward trend. In this environment, our share also displayed a strong performance of more than 25%. We see evidence of investors' interest at numerous roadshows – the potential of the S IMMO share is compelling.
Moreover, we successfully issued a further corporate bond with a total volume of EUR 150m in mid-May.
Outlook
We are not resting on our laurels, but rather already working hard to secure growth in the years ahead.
We are examining options for purchases in all of our markets. In Germany, we are primarily investing in larger cities with promising demographic and economic development. In addition, we have acquired large-scale plots of land in the area surrounding Berlin. We currently have an area of around one million square metres in Berlin's commuter belt, which provides us with development and growth potential on a long-term basis. In CEE, we have already purchased land in Bucharest and Budapest in the current financial year.
In this way, we are ensuring that we do not deviate from our growth trajectory for 2019 and the subsequent years and can generate added value for you, our esteemed shareholders.

S IMMO in the capital market
Capital market environment in Austria
The Austrian stock market performed extremely well in the first quarter of 2019. The ATX benchmark index stood at 3,034.04 points at the end of the quarter, an increase of 10.5%. The IATX index for Austrian property shares performed even more strongly, rising by 14.4% in the reporting period to close at 356.80 points. This upward trend is most likely attributable to the ongoing zero interest-rate policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the stable economic situation in the European Union.
Price performance of the S IMMO share and dividend proposal
In this positive environment, the performance of the S IMMO share was highly satisfactory. As a result of the outstanding operating performance and its convincing equity story, the

Investor relations activities
In the traditionally weaker first quarter for investor conferences and roadshows, the management held a large number of meetings with investors in conjunction with the Investor Relations team. These included discussions with existing and potential investors in London (including with Erste Group) and Amsterdam, Johannesburg and Cape Town (with Baader Bank). On a two-day visit to South Africa, S IMMO gave presentations to eleven potential investors.

Business development and performance
Property portfolio
As of 31 March 2019, S IMMO's property portfolio consisted of 309 properties with a book value of EUR 2,163.8m (31 December 2018: EUR 2,121.4m) and a total area of around 1.2 million m² (31 December 2018: 1.2 million m²). In the reporting period, the occupancy rate of the portfolio was 95.9% (31 December 2018: 95.8%). The occupancy rate includes all investment properties for which no development potential has currently been identified. The overall rental yield was 5.8% (31 December 2018: 5.7%).
Divided according to main type of use, the property portfolio excluding plots of land broke down into 37.1% (31 December 2018: 36.6%) office buildings, 17.6% (31 December 2018: 17.9%) retail properties, 29.5% (31 December 2018: 29.3%) residential properties and 15.8% (31 December 2018:16.2%) hotels.
The properties are located in Austria, Germany and the CEE region. Based on book value, properties in Austria made up 21.7% (31 December 2018: 22.1%) of the portfolio, while properties in Germany comprised 45.6% (31 December 2018: 45.4%). The properties in CEE accounted for 32.7% (31 December 2018: 32.5%).
Significant increase in total revenues and gross profit
Following the transition year of 2018, total revenues saw an increase of 9.9% compared with the same period last year and amounted to EUR 47.8m in the first quarter of 2019 (Q1 2018: EUR 43.5m). This development can be attributed to an increase in rental income and an increase in revenues from hotel operations to EUR 11.1m (Q1 2018: EUR 10.0m).
On the one hand, the rental improvement reflects the acquisitions in the Germany segment and the good like-for-like performance. On the other, the increase in the amount of EUR 1.2m is a result of the first-time adoption of accounting regulations that require parts of the revenues from operating costs to be reclassified within total revenues and to be recognised as rental income.
In total, rental income rose by EUR 3.8m to EUR 28.4m (Q1 2018: EUR 24.6m). Excluding the shift between revenues from operating costs and rental income, the increase in rental income amounted to EUR 2.6m, or roughly 10.5%.
Property management expenses increased to EUR 15.7m (Q1 2018: EUR 14.4m). Overall, gross profit improved to EUR 24.0m (Q1 2018: EUR 21.6m), which corresponds to an increase of 11.1%.
Increase in EBITDA by 13.1% and rise in the results from property valuation
In the first quarter of 2019, a property that was already held for sale as of 31 December 2018 was successfully sold in Germany. At EUR 4.5m (Q1 2018: EUR 4.3m), management expenses were in line with the prior-year level, which meant EBITDA improved by 13.1% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 19.5m (Q1 2018: EUR 17.3m).
In the first quarter of 2019, the results from property valuation amounted to EUR 9.9m (Q1 2018: EUR 9.4m) and were primarily attributable to revaluations in the Germany segment. Combined with the higher EBITDA, this resulted in an increase in EBIT to EUR 27.4m (Q1 2018: EUR 24.9m).
Development of net income for the period
The financial results were primarily characterised by higher non-cash expenses from derivatives and totalled EUR -9.7m (Q1 2018: EUR -6.7m). Net income for the period increased to EUR 15.1m (Q1 2018: EUR 14.7m). As a further consequence, earnings per share increased to EUR 0.23 and were thus higher than last year (Q1 2018: EUR 0.22).
Property investments
In the first three months of 2019, S IMMO completed acquisitions on a selective basis with a focus mainly on properties in mediumsized German cities. Aditionally properties were acquired in CEE. The holdings of shares in CA Immobilien Anlagen AG and IMMOFINANZ AG did not change due to purchases or sales in the first quarter of 2019.
Consolidated statement of financial position
S IMMO Group's total assets increased from EUR 2,270.1m as of 31 December 2018 to EUR 2,785.2m as of 31 March 2019. Cash and cash equivalents were EUR 47.7m as of 31 March 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 73.3m). Equity not including minority shares increased to EUR 1,151.7m in the first quarter of 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 1,108.9m). As of 31 March 2019, the book value per share increased to EUR 17.40 (31 December 2018: EUR 16.75) and the equity ratio to 41.5% (31 December 2018: 40.9%).
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. The latter largely comprises bonds issued by S IMMO AG. S IMMO's reported property investments amounted to EUR 2,660.8m as of 31 March 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 2,573.4m). At 35.5% (31 December 2018: 36.3%), the LTV ratio for financing secured with properties decreased compared with the level posted at the end of 2018. The LTV ratio for unsecured financing less cash and cash equivalents amounted to 14.6% as of 31 March 2019 (31 December 2018: 14.1%). In total, the company's LTV ratio was 50.2% (31 December 2018: 50.4%). The calculation method for both key figures is described in detail in the 2018 Annual Report.
In the second quarter, a seven-year corporate bond with a volume of EUR 150m and a fixed coupon rate of 1.875% p.a. was issued.
The Management and Supervisory Board have decided that for the financial year 2018 a dividend of EUR 0.70 per share will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

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 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. This quarterly report 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 31 March 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 31 March 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 Germany and CEE. Within the investment properties one property was reclassified from development projects to rented properties. 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 quarter 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 the first quarter no new corporate bond was issued. In May 2019, a fixed-rate corporate bond was issued with a volume of EUR 150 million, a term of seven years and a coupon of 1.875%. 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 – 03 / 2019 | 01 – 03 / 2018 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Office | 9,195 | 8,030 | ||
| Residential | 6,499 | 6,043 | ||
| Retail | 10,428 | 9,370 | ||
| Hotels | 1,061 | 1,148 | ||
| Subtotal "old" | 27,183 | 24,591 | ||
| Reclassification of former operating | ||||
| costs | 1,228 | n/a | ||
| Rental income according to the | ||||
| consolidated income statement | 28,411 | 24,591 |
3.5. Gains on property disposals
In the first quarter of 2019, one property in the German segment was sold, which was held for sale as of 31 December 2018.
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 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.

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 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 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 of the annual 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.
