1 As of 30 June 2024, those properties that meet the criteria of IFRS 5 are reported as assets held for sale and shown as discontinued operations together with the German assets and liabilities already sold. The result (after taxes) of the discontinued operation is presented in a separate line both in the period 01 – 06/2024 and in the comparative period 01 – 06/2023. The contributions to the earnings of this discontinued operation are therefore included in the consolidated result but not in the income statement figures. The comparative figures for 01 – 06/2023 have also been adjusted accordingly. Balance sheet figures as of 30 June 2024 are shown including the discontinued operation.

Following on from the success of the first quarter, the first half of 2024 has been characterised by strong operational growth. Our prudent investment strategy, focusing not only on gradual portfolio optimisation but also on sustainably strengthening our key earnings figures, has been one of the main drivers behind these impressive results.
Our key figures clearly demonstrate that this strategy is already bearing fruit: In the first half of 2024, we significantly increased total revenues from EUR 137.8m in the same period of the previous year to EUR 185.6m. This improvement is mainly due to acquisitions of profitable properties in the Czech Republic and Austria in 2023 and 2024, as well as a good like-for-like performance. Gross profit improved significantly from EUR 73.0m to EUR 108.6m, which corresponds to an increase of 49%. The result from property valuation, which is mainly due to the current difficult economic conditions, amounted to EUR -9.2m (HY 2023: EUR -21.3m). Overall, we were therefore able to improve the net result for the period from EUR -40.2m in the first half of 2023 to EUR 13.6m. These earnings figures (with the exception of the profit for the period) do not include the discontinued operation in Germany. For details, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements starting from page 27.
Capital market
The S IMMO share performed extremely well in the first half of the year, trading at EUR 22.00 as of 30 June 2024 with a year-todate performance of 76.00%. In May 2024, our core shareholder IMMOFINANZ AG announced that it was starting preparations for a squeeze-out at S IMMO AG. Cash compensation for the
"The increase in our key operating figures is not a one-off effect. It creates a sustainable basis for future earnings."
Radka Doehring


acquisition of S IMMO shares as part of this squeeze-out shall be determined on the basis of a valuation report. A resolution on the squeeze-out is due to be passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting of S IMMO AG, which is expected to take place in autumn.
Transactions
As previously mentioned, our earnings have primarily benefited from the strategy adjustments made in recent months. This includes the sale of German properties with low yields as well as the decision to dispose of small and medium-sized office properties with limited development potential, mainly in Croatia, Slovakia and Austria. Contracts have already been signed for the sale of two office properties in Zagreb and an extensive portfolio in Germany comprising 18 commercial properties and one residential property. Some of the transactions have yet to be closed.
At the same time, a portfolio of eight properties in the Czech Republic was acquired from a subsidiary of CPIPG as part of the adjusted strategy. The acquisition comprises four office and four commercial properties with a gross leasable area of roughly 136,000 m² and annual rental income of approximately EUR 28.3m. By adopting this acquisition and sales policy, we are already laying the groundwork for the further sustainable growth of our key earnings figures.
"We are reaping impressive rewards from our prudent investment strategy and are considering further acquisitions and sales to optimise earnings."
Tomáš Salajka
Outlook
These results have once again convinced us that our strategy was the right choice. We are very satisfied with the company's performance and look to the future with confidence. At the same time, our focus is on creating fair conditions for all shareholders as part of the squeeze-out and completing the process in a transparent and timely manner.
As always, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the trust you have placed in us.

S IMMO in the capital market
International capital market environment
The first half of 2024 continued to be influenced by numerous global geopolitical crises, including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and tensions between China and Taiwan and between North and South Korea. However, the first two quarters were also characterised by weak economic growth, a slight recession in the euro area and prevailing, albeit slowing, inflation. Despite inflation continuing to hover above the ideal of 2%, at the beginning of June the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced the key interest rate for the first time in almost five years, by 0.25 percentage points to 4.25%. Aside from the above challenges, general investor sentiment was positive, not least due to largely satisfactory dividend payments.
In the face of ongoing uncertainty, all of the indices reported and monitored by S IMMO on a continuous basis reached new highs. The widely diversified S&P 500 index rose by 14.48% in the first half of the year, while the Austrian sector index IATX closed the second quarter up by a remarkable 22.00%. By contrast, the Austrian benchmark index ATX performed more moderately with a 5.08% gain.
S IMMO share and share squeeze-out
The S IMMO share performed extremely well in the first half of the year, trading at EUR 22.00 as of 30 June 2024 with a year-todate performance of 76.00%, resulting in market capitalisation of EUR 1,619.4m as of the reporting date. The company's share capital amounted to EUR 267.5m, divided into 73,608,896 bearer shares.

Following the launch of the share buyback programme, which ran from 15 January 2024 until ending earlier than scheduled on 15 February 2024 when the maximum permitted buyback price of EUR 15.00 was reached, the proposed squeeze-out announced by IMMOFINANZ AG on 24 May 2024 generated momentum for the price of the S IMMO share. At present, the squeeze-out affects 5,246,664 S IMMO shares, corresponding to around 7.13% of the share capital. The cash compensation for acquiring these shares shall be determined on the basis of a valuation report. The squeeze-out will be subsequently resolved at an Extraordinary General Meeting of S IMMO, which is expected to take place in autumn 2024.

The 35th Annual General Meeting of S IMMO AG was held in person on 03 May 2024.

EPRA key figures
S IMMO publishes EPRA key figures such as the EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (EPRA NRV), EPRA Net Tangible Assets (EPRA NTA) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (EPRA NDV). Due to the change in the portfolio strategy and the increased market uncertainties, the adjustment of the deferred taxes in EPRA NTA is now carried out in such a way that only 50% of the relevant deferred taxes are added as a lump sum. The exact description of the key figures can be found on the EPRA website (www.epra.com).

Interim management report Economic report
Economic overview
Even though global economic growth remains lacklustre, there are signs of improvement. The tighter financing conditions are continuing to have an impact, especially on the real estate and credit markets, but global economic activity is proving to be relatively resilient. Inflation is retreating more rapidly than originally expected, and real incomes are thus beginning to improve. The economies in the individual countries are still developing differently, with the weaker performance in many advanced economies, especially in Europe, being offset by strong growth in the United States and numerous emerging economies.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is projecting global GDP growth of 3.1% for 2024 and 3.2% for 2025. Thus, GDP will change little over the 3.1% registered in 2023. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also expects that the global economy will continue to grow by 3.2% in 2024 and 2025 – at exactly the same rate as in 2023. The OECD is projecting headline inflation of 3.4% in 2025. According to IMF forecasts, global inflation will decline steadily from 6.8% in 2023 to 5.9% in 2024 and 4.5% in 2025.
The European Commission is projecting GDP growth to come in at 1.0% in the EU and 0.8% in the euro area in 2024. In 2025, GDP growth of 1.6% is expected for the EU and 1.4% for the euro area. The IMF is also expecting 0.8% growth in the euro area in 2024, but growth of 1.5% by contrast in 2025. According to the European Commission, headline inflation in the EU should fall from 6.4% in 2023 to 2.7% in 2024 and 2.2% in 2025. In the euro area, a decline from 5.4% in 2023 to 2.5% in 2024 and 2.1% in 2025 is projected.
After the contraction of 0.8% in 2023, the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) predicts stagnation in 2024 and GDP growth of 1.5% in 2025. Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) anticipates weak economic growth of 0.3% in 2024. For 2025 and 2026, it is projecting economic growth of 1.8% and 1.5%, respectively. Inflation will retreat to 3.4% in Austria in 2024 according to OeNB. A continued decline is expected to 2.7% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026. According to the WIFO, inflation is expected to come in at 4.3% in 2024 and 2.6% in 2025.
UniCredit expects the economies of the EU Member States in the CEE region to expand by 2.6% this year and 3% in 2025.
Real estate market overview
Austria
Take-up on the Vienna office market rose significantly in the second quarter of 2024 and came in at 57,000 m². This is a plus of 33% over the second quarter of the prior year, and an increase of 58% compared with the first quarter of the current year. Overall, a total take-up of 93,000 m² was recorded in the first half of 2024. The vacancy rate fell further and was 3.3% at the midpoint of the year. Prime rents were unchanged during the half-year at around EUR 28.00/m²/month. However, CBRE expects a slight increase as the year progresses. The prime yield for office properties also rose slightly, coming in at 5.25% at the midpoint of the year.
Confidence in the Austrian retail market is returning slowly but steadily and reached the level reported for the euro area again after two years in the second quarter of 2024 – as the inflation rate continued to decline. According to Statistics Austria, inflation was estimated at 3% in June 2024, the lowest level recorded since July 2021. However, diverging rental price expectations among tenants and letters still led to increased vacancies at top high street locations in the first half of the year. According to CBRE, it is apparent that longer vacancy periods are being accepted rather than lower rents at present. Prime rents in shopping centres were stable at EUR 100/m²/month at the midpoint of the year.

The Vienna hotel market continued its uptrend. According to the Vienna Tourist Board, there were roughly 8.3 million overnight stays in the first half of the year, an increase of more than 10% in year-on-year terms. May was a particular standout with 1.7 million overnight stays, surpassing the record level posted in 2019 and thus beating the pre-pandemic high water mark. Especially the return of international tourists played a key role here.
Germany
The Berlin office market reached a total take-up of around 307,000 m² in the first half of 2024, coming close to the level posted for the prior-year period. In a comparison of the top five cities, the German capital is thus in first place in space turnover for the year to date. The momentum for prime rents seen over the last few years has slowed noticeably. The rent level has remained stable compared with the first quarter of 2024, and rents in the premium segment rose slightly by 1.1% in annual comparison to reach EUR 44/m²/month. Conversely, the weighted average rent for the overall market has declined slightly by 0.4%, and came to EUR 27.74/m²/month at the midpoint of the year. The prime office yield has been steady since the end of 2023 at 5.00% for premium locations.
There was an uptick in activity on the German residential investment market again in the second quarter of 2024 after a weak start to the year. Berlin posted an investment volume of EUR 1.87bn at the midpoint of the year.
CEE
The Bucharest office market saw total take-up of 171,000 m² in the first half of 2024, a decline of 9% in year-on-year comparison. The vacancy rate was 13.2% and the prime yield 8.00% at the midpoint of the year. Prime rents rose slightly from EUR 20.50/m²/month in the first quarter of 2024 to EUR 20.75/ m²/month as of the middle of the year. This uptrend in the premium letting segment will continue in the coming quarter according to CBRE.
In the Bucharest retail segment, prime rents reached EUR 55/ m²/month on high streets and EUR 80/m²/month in shopping centres in the first half of the year. The prime yield was 8.85%. Across the country, new retail space totalling around 107,000 m² was completed in the first half of 2024, roughly 80% of this in the second quarter.
In Budapest, the office market saw total take-up of 128,000 m² in the first half of 2024 and prime rents of EUR 25.00/m²/month. The vacancy rate was 14.0%.
In Bratislava, total take-up in the office segment came to 72,000 m² for the first half of the year. Prime rents reached EUR 19.00/m²/month, and the vacancy rate was 13.2%.
The Prague office market posted total take-up of 177,000 m² in the first six months of the year and a vacancy rate of 7.9% at the midpoint of the year. Prime rents were at EUR 29.00/m²/month.
With the increasing recovery of tourism, the hotel market in the CEE region is continuing to see positive developments. This trend is expected to continue.
Business development and performance
Property portfolio
As of 30 June 2024, S IMMO's property portfolio consisted of 228 properties (31 December 2023: 244) with a book value of EUR 3,670.0m (31 December 2023: EUR 3,477.6m) and a gross leasable area (total lettable area excluding parking spaces) of around 1.5 million m² (31 December 2023: 1.5 million m²). S IMMO is the manager of a high-quality property portfolio with a focus on office and commercial properties throughout the European Union.
The occupancy rate in the reporting period was 90.7% (31 December 2023: 90.6%). The overall rental yield was 6.9% (31 December 2023: 6.8%). The calculation of the occupancy rate and of the rental yield includes all investment properties in the narrower sense (excluding investment properties with development potential and owner-operated hotels).
Based on main type of use not including plots of land and based on book values as of 30 June 2024, the portfolio consisted of 64.8% office buildings (31 December 2023: 67.2%), 24.0% retail properties (31 December 2023: 19.4%), 4.4% residential properties (31 December 2023: 6.1%) and 6.8% hotels (31 December 2023: 7.3%).

Sales programme in Germany
S IMMO AG's Management Board and Supervisory Board have decided to gradually withdraw from the German market. In this context, the company is evaluating individual and portfolio sales.
The Germany segment is a significant geographical business area. As of 30 June 2024, those properties that meet the criteria of IFRS 5 are reported as assets held for sale and shown as discontinued operations together with the German assets and liabilities already sold.
In the consolidated income statement, the result (after taxes) of the discontinued operations is presented in a separate line both in the period 01–06/2024 and in the comparative period 01–06/2023.
The following explanations to the consolidated income statement therefore do not include any contribution from the discontinued operations in Germany. A detailed presentation can also be found in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements.
Operating result significantly improved – increase in rental income and gross profit
In the first half-year of 2024, total revenues increased to EUR 185.6m, compared to EUR 137.8m in the same period of the previous year. This improvement is mainly due to acquisitions of profitable rented properties in the Czech Republic and in Austria in 2023 and 2024, but also due to a good like-for-like performance, which made the most significant contribution to the increase in rental income. Rental income amounted to

1 Not including Vienna Marriott Hotel and Budapest Marriott Hotel and not including the reclassification of parts of revenues from operating costs as well as without discontinued operations
EUR 111.9m (HY 2023: EUR 74.8m). Revenues from operating costs also increased to EUR 39.9m in the first half-year of 2024 (HY 2023: EUR 31.6m) due to acquisitions.
Like rental income and revenues from operating costs, property expenses were influenced by transactions and increased from EUR 42.8m in the first half-year of 2023 to EUR 54.0m, mainly as a result of higher expenses for operating and maintenance costs.
With the result from hotel operations totalling EUR 8.0m (HY 2023: EUR 8.0m), income was again at a high level.
Thanks to the rise in rental income, gross profit improved from EUR 73.0m to EUR 108.6m – up more than 49%.
Increase of EBITDA and EBIT despite negative property valuation
The pleasing operating performance was also reflected in EBITDA, which climbed by almost 60% from EUR 55.3m to EUR 88.1m.
Administrative expenses increased to EUR 20.5m in the first half-year of 2024 (HY 2023: EUR 17.7m), mainly due to higher consulting costs and higher administrative fees.
The property valuation result was negative at EUR -9.2m (HY 2023: EUR -21.3m), mainly due to the current difficult economic conditions. Broken down by segment, Germany accounted for EUR -26.5m (HY 2023: EUR -20.9m), Austria for EUR -18.6m (HY 2023: EUR -7.6m), Hungary for EUR -4.6m (HY 2023: EUR 0.8m), Romania for EUR 0.1m (HY 2023:
Rental income by type of use1

1Not including Vienna Marriott Hotel and Budapest Marriott Hotel and not including the reclassification of parts of revenues from operating costs as well as without discontinued operations
EUR -0.1m), the Czech Republic for EUR 40.4m (HY 2023: EUR 5.9m), Slovakia for EUR -1.5m (HY 2023: EUR 0.0m) and Croatia for EUR 1.5m (HY 2023: EUR 0.0m). The property in Bulgaria was sold in the previous year. The valuation in the same period last year accounted for EUR 0.6m.
EBIT increased from EUR 29.3m to EUR 74.7m due to the positive operating performance and the improved property valuation.
Net result for the period and earnings per share
The financial result improved from EUR -21.1m to EUR -18.5m due to positive non-cash valuation effects from the valuation of derivatives on the one hand and non-cash negative currency differences on the other. Tax expenses increased from EUR 1.8m to EUR -17.8m.
Overall, the net income for the period improved to EUR 13.6m (HY 2023: EUR -40.2m) and is the result of a significant improvement in the operating result, the improved property valuation and non-cash effects in the financial result. Earnings per share came to EUR 0.27 (HY 2023: EUR -0.48).
Consolidated statement of financial position
Despite the sales in Germany and Austria, S IMMO's total assets increased to EUR 4,263.2m as of 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 4,179.9m) on account of acquisitions in the Czech Republic. Compared with the end of the previous year, cash and cash equivalents decreased to EUR 344.4m as of 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 445.1m).
Equity not including non-controlling interests rose to EUR 1,660.8m in the first half of 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 1,648.4m). The book value per share amounted to EUR 23.63 as of 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 23.43). The equity ratio as of 30 June 2024 was 40.1% (31 December 2023: 40.7%).
Property investments
In the first half of 2024, a property portfolio consisting of eight properties with a total volume of around EUR 463m was acquired from CPI Property Group S.A. in the Czech Republic.
The disposals totalled EUR 195.5m (HY 2023: EUR 533.5m) and mainly related to the Germany segment (EUR 186.2m) and Austria segment (EUR 9.3m).
Financing – improvement of the LTV ratio
A key indicator for assessing the financing structure is the loanto-value ratio (LTV ratio). S IMMO's EPRA LTV amounted to 50.2% as of 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: 47.8%). The calculation of the EPRA LTV is detailed on page 9 of this Interim Report.
Risk management report
As an international real estate group, S IMMO Group faces a variety of risks and opportunities that could impact its operating activities and decision-making processes as well as its strategic management. By identifying, analysing, managing and monitoring risks and opportunities, the Group strives to identify negative developments and potential risk factors in good time and proactively minimise them as far as possible. Nevertheless, it cannot completely be ruled out that risks could actually materialise.
Risk overview

Potential risks for the current financial year and S IMMO AG's risk management are presented in the 2023 Annual Report (starting on page 104). The probability of occurrence of the described risks depends on a number of factors, including economic developments in the markets concerned.
A large number of geopolitical crises or challenges mean that a wide range of risks cannot be ruled out. Inflation, which has been significantly reduced over the last two years, is proving more persistent than expected in some parts of the global economy. Global interest rate policy is heavily dependent on the fight against inflation and its effects and is therefore not clearly predictable. The ongoing war in Ukraine with its associated, sometimes fragile, support coalitions and the conflict in Gaza all have a negative impact on the global economy and therefore ultimately on the international real estate markets.
The company is aware of the increased risk potential, as the aforementioned factors have at least an indirect impact on almost all of S IMMO AG's risk categories. The company counters all risks with intensive and precise risk monitoring and a responsible risk policy.
The European Commission is forecasting economic growth of 1.0% in the EU for the current financial year. The OECD and the World Bank expect the global economy to grow by 3.1% and 2.4%, respectively, this year. These growth forecasts have already been revised downwards several times, which shows how difficult it is to make estimates under the current conditions.
On 06 June 2024, the European Central Bank lowered the key interest rate by 25 basis points for the first time since 2019. After years of constant interest rate hikes, this is a sign that the central bank considers the measures implemented to curb inflation as sufficiently effective to ease the interest rate situation.
The real estate markets show a mixed picture. Markets with stable prices, but also real estate markets under intense price pressure are a risk that S IMMO AG needs to manage. It is worth noting that the inactivity of foreign investors in Germany is slowing down market transactions.
The current macroeconomic situation has an impact on real estate valuations, which are carried out every six months by external providers for S IMMO AG. In addition to factors such as expected rental income, the condition of the property and the occupancy rate, rising costs (operating costs or energy costs), high interest rates and a sharp drop in demand on the market are adversely affecting property valuations and leading to a decline in the market value of properties. S IMMO has therefore been confronted with falling valuation results for its portfolio properties for two years now. The lower valuations are having a negative impact on sales in Germany and Austria, but also on the portfolio that is still held.
The unstable macroeconomic conditions and the multiple recent and current crises are still having a massive impact on the capital markets, which continue to be dominated by an exceptionally high degree of uncertainty. The questionable effects of monetary policy strategies further complicate the outlook.
Inflation is expected to fall further in the coming months, which would reduce the upturn in rental income on the one hand, but also reduce expenses for property maintenance and operating costs on the other.
The price increases of the past and the associated risks in development projects should diminish. But further supply chain issues associated with the war in Ukraine cannot be ruled out. Supply difficulties and the resulting price increases can have a negative impact on the profitability and planning reliability of development projects.
The majority of S IMMO AG's financing is still based on variable interest rates, which are combined with interest rate hedging instruments (derivatives). Any changes in the interest rate environment have an impact on financing costs but also on noncash valuation results for interest rate hedging instruments.
Several management strategy adjustments were announced in the first half of 2024. The portfolio sale in Germany will be continued and intensified. Recent acquisitions in the Czech Republic significantly increased S IMMO's investment share in this country.
Supported by the in-depth knowledge of CPI Property Group S.A. in this market, S IMMO is benefitting from its presence and experience in this region. Besides high value office buildings, a larger proportion of retail properties has been acquired, which diversifies the portfolio structure. As long as there are strong signs of a healthy, prospering retail market in the Czech Republic, S IMMO AG will profit from its presence there. S IMMO will closely screen and evaluate this market just like other regions in which it is invested.
The measures taken cannot completely rule out the occurrence of risks. For this reason, provisions are made for potential risks in the balance sheet where necessary. In addition, S IMMO AG is taking account of changing market conditions by constantly revising and adjusting its strategy. S IMMO AG has a stable and profitable property portfolio in very good locations. Therefore, management fundamentally believes that its business model and its adjusted strategy will enable it to cope comparatively well with the oncoming challenges and seize potential opportunities.
Outlook
In an environment characterised by weak macroeconomic performance in the EU, with 1.0% economic growth forecast for 2024 by the European Commission, and geopolitical crises – in particular the ongoing war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East – real estate markets, transactions and valuations are currently subject to a number of negative impacts. Prevailing high interest rates continue to pose a challenge and impact profitability for the various types of use. A significant recovery is not expected to occur in the second half of 2024, either.
In the past, the management of S IMMO AG has responded to these economic conditions with several strategy adjustments. The next optimisation was announced in the first half of 2024. As part of the adjustment, small and medium-sized office properties with limited development potential will be removed from the portfolio. Depending on market developments and subject to the attainment of adequate prices, this strategic course of action primarily involves substantial divestments in Croatia, Slovakia and Austria. Purchase agreements have already been signed for Zagrebtower and HOTO Business Tower in Zagreb. Some of the transactions have yet to be closed.
In addition, in the second quarter, contracts were signed for the sale of 18 German commercial properties and one residential property in Berlin, Erfurt, Halle, Hamburg, Leipzig, Potsdam and Rostock with lettable space of roughly 145,000 m² and a transaction value of approximately EUR 255m. This sale is in line with the strategy of successively withdrawing from the German market and is taking place over several stages. The final transactions are expected to be closed in autumn 2024. Further divestments are currently being considered in Austria and Slovakia, although a relevant portfolio will be maintained in Austria.
Cash generated by the divestments will be invested in high-yield office and commercial properties in the CEE region in line with the strategy. In the second quarter, for example, S IMMO signed a contract to acquire a portfolio of eight properties from a subsidiary of CPI Property Group S.A. (CPIPG). The acquisition comprises four office and four commercial properties with a gross leasable area of roughly 136,000 m², a property value of around EUR 463m, and annual rental income of approximately EUR 28.3m.
In the second quarter, S IMMO AG was also informed that IMMOFINANZ AG had begun preparing for a squeeze-out. The planned squeeze-out affects 5,246,664 S IMMO shares, which is around 7.13% of the share capital. Cash compensation for the acquisition of the affected shares shall be determined on the basis of a valuation report and a corresponding resolution passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting expected to take place in autumn 2024.

2. Accounting and valuation policies
2.1. Accounting policies
The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2024 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 2023.
In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2024, the accounting and valuation policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2023 have been applied continuously.
The consolidated interim financial statements prepared as of 30 June 2024 have neither been comprehensively audited nor reviewed by independent auditors.
The accounting policies of all companies included in the consolidated interim financial statements 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 2024, Baudry Beta, a.s., Czech Republic, CPI Národní, s.r.o., Czech Republic, CPI Shopping Teplice, a.s., Czech Republic, Farhan, a.s., Czech Republic, Marissa Tau, a.s., Czech Republic, and Na Poříčí, a.s., Czech Republic, were acquired from CPI Property Group S.A. by way of share deals. The purchase prices (excluding incidental costs) of kEUR 7,305 (Baudry Beta, a.s.), kEUR 122,216 (CPI Národní, s.r.o.), kEUR 10,911 (CPI Shopping Teplice, a.s.), kEUR 1 (Farhan, a.s.), kEUR 13,103 (Marissa Tau, a.s.) and kEUR 22,506 (Na Poříčí, a.s.) consisted entirely of cash. The loans of kEUR 10,453 (Baudry Beta, a.s.), kEUR 82,483 (CPI Národní, s.r.o.), kEUR 43,374 (CPI Shopping Teplice, a.s.), kEUR 54,753 (Farhan, a.s.), kEUR 16,125 (Marissa Tau, a.s.) and kEUR 28,552 (Na Poříčí, a.s.) included in non-current liabilities were repaid as the purchases were completed. In the course of this acquisition, interest rate derivatives were also transferred, which were recognised at the positive fair value of kEUR 8,334 in the superordinate intermediate holding company at the time of acquisition. As a result, the acquisition costs of the acquired properties were reduced accordingly.
Of the purchase prices listed above, kEUR 328 (Baudry Beta, a.s.), kEUR 9 (CPI Národní, s.r.o.), kEUR 728 (CPI Shopping Teplice, a.s.), kEUR 83 (Farhan, a.s.), kEUR 367 (Marissa Tau, a.s.) and kEUR 227 (Na Poříčí, a.s.) were not yet due as of 30 June 2024.
A business combination within the meaning of IFRS 3 did not exist for the newly consolidated companies, as there was no business operation as defined by IFRS 3.
In the first half of 2023, five property holding companies were acquired from CPI Property Group S.A. by way of share deals. The transaction volume totalled kEUR 188,078 (entirely related party). The purchase prices (excluding incidental costs) totalling kEUR 60,261 consisted entirely of cash. The loans of kEUR 85,197 included in non-current liabilities were repaid as the purchases were completed.
The acquired companies had the following book values at the time of acquisition:

Standard market purchase price discounts for deferred tax effects and other purchase price adjustments as well as interest rate derivatives recognised at fair value in a higher-level intermediate holding company totalling kEUR 40,569 were taken into account, which subsequently led to a revaluation of the properties in accordance with IAS 40.

The measurement methods for the first half of 2024 correspond to level 3 of the IFRS 13.86 fair value hierarchy. The valuation results for "investment property" in the first half of 2024 are largely based on external valuation reports and relate to all segments.
3.1.2. Owner-operated properties
The owner-operated properties segment includes rental of rooms as well as catering activities. These hotels are operated under management agreements for the most part, and consequently the risks associated with occupancy rates are borne by S IMMO Group. Hotels of this kind are outside the scope of IAS 40 (investment property) and are therefore to be treated as non-current property, plant and equipment under IAS 16.
3.1.3. Other financial assets
Other financial assets mainly include derivatives in the amount of kEUR 109,232 (31 December 2023: kEUR 87,922).

3.1.5. Assets held for sale and liabilities in connection with assets held for sale
Real estate assets are "held for sale" if the intention is to sell the property soon. This intention currently exists for properties with a value of kEUR 266,360, of which kEUR 134,352 relates to the Germany segment, kEUR 55,500 to the Czech Republic segment and kEUR 76,508 to the Croatia segment. The disposal group as of 30 June 2024 comprises two companies in the Czech Republic and two companies in Croatia.
In addition, further German properties and three Austrian properties were sold, which had also been held for sale as of 31 December 2023 and 31 March 2024.

The S IMMO Group currently uses swaps and caps mainly to manage the interest rate risk in connection with property financing at variable interest rates.
The interest rate derivatives were disclosed under other noncurrent financial assets (30 June 2024: kEUR 109,232; 31 December 2023: kEUR 87,922), other current financial assets (30 June 2024: kEUR 2,228; 31 December 2023: kEUR 252) and non-current financial liabilities (30 June 2024: kEUR 224; 31 December 2023: kEUR 1,115). The derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. The fair values of the swaps or caps are determined using a discounted cash flow method according to IFRS 13.
In the first half of 2024, measurement changes of kEUR 5,308 (HY 2023: kEUR -5,832) not including deferred taxes and deferred taxes for derivatives of kEUR 136 (HY 2023: kEUR 605) were recognised in other comprehensive income. A total of kEUR 5,444 (HY 2023: kEUR -5,227) was therefore recognised in other comprehensive income.
30 June 2024
| EUR '000 | Nominal | Positive fair value |
Negative fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swaps | 1,561,507 | 111,329 | -224 |
| Caps | 9,931 | 131 | 0 |
| Total | 1,571,438 | 111,460 | -224 |
31 December 2023
| EUR '000 | Nominal | Positive fair value |
Negative fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swaps | 1,362,480 | 88,015 | -1,115 |
| Caps | 19,931 | 159 | 0 |
| Total | 1,382,411 | 88,174 | -1,115 |
3.2. Consolidated income statement
In the second quarter of 2024, S IMMO AG's Management Board and Supervisory Board decided to gradually withdraw from the German market. In this context, the company is evaluating individual and portfolio sales.
The Germany segment is a significant geographical business area. As of 30 June 2024, those properties that meet the criteria of IFRS 5 are reported as assets held for sale and shown as discontinued operations together with the German assets and liabilities already sold.
In the consolidated income statement, the result (after taxes) of the discontinued operation is presented in a separate line both in the period 01–06/2024 and in the comparative period 01–06/2023.
Transactions between discontinued and continuing operations are eliminated in S IMMO's consolidated income statement. The consolidation of income and expenses was therefore continued for the periods reported.
The following explanations to the consolidated income statement therefore do not include any contribution from the discontinued operations in Germany. Details are explained starting on page 35.
3.2.1. Rental income and revenues from operating costs and from hotel operations
Rental income broken down by the type of use of single renting space is shown below:
| EUR '000 | 01–06/2024 | 01–06/2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial excl. hotels | 104,237 | 68,499 |
| Hotel | 4,624 | 2,716 |
| Residential property | 3,030 | 3,548 |
| Rental income according to the consolidated income statement |
111,891 | 74,763 |
Rental income increased significantly compared with the previous year, mainly due to additions of rented properties in the Czech Republic and Austria.
Revenue from hotel operations has increased from kEUR 31,387 in the first half of 2023 to kEUR 33,807.
3.2.2. Operating costs and expenses from properties and hotel operations
Property operating 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. In general, both income and expenses of hotel operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Overall, the gross profit from hotel operations improved to kEUR 8,035 (HY 2023: kEUR 7,957).
3.2.3. Results from property valuation
Against the backdrop of the current difficult economic conditions, the result from the property valuation was negative.
The valuation result by region breaks down as follows:
| EUR '000 | 01–06/2024 | 01–06/2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Austria | -18,614 | -7,597 |
| Germany | -26,500 | -20,939 |
| Hungary | -4,623 | 823 |
| Romania | 136 | -72 |
| Czech Republic | 40,431 | 5,849 |
| Slovakia | -1,523 | 0 |
| Croatia | 1,489 | 0 |
| Bulgaria | 0 | 624 |
| -9,204 | -21,312 |
The valuation result includes income of kEUR 851 for investment costs contractually assumed by the seller after the acquisition date.
3.2.4. Financial result
The net financial result consisted of the following:
| EUR '000 | 01–06/2024 | 01–06/2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Financing expenses | -54,518 | -28,145 |
| Financing income | 35,801 | 7,191 |
| Results from companies measured at equity |
179 | -184 |
| -18,538 | -21,138 |
The financial result for the first half of 2024 improved compared to the previous year, mainly due to non-cash valuation effects of financial instruments.
3.2.5. Taxes on income
| EUR '000 | 01–06/2024 | 01–06/2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Current tax expense | -4,094 | -28,184 |
| Deferred tax income/expense | -13,690 | 29,949 |
| -17,783 | 1,765 |
With regard to the application of the Minimum Tax Reform Act, which has been applicable since 01 January 2024, an evaluation of the quantitative effects is currently underway. Due to the complexity of the determination and calculation method for current taxes in the interim reporting period, no provision was recognised as of 30 June 2024.
4. Operating segments
Segment reporting for S IMMO Group is based on country. The assessment and analysis of the regional structure follows the strategic direction, which differentiates between Austria, Germany, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Bulgaria (deconsolidated as of 30 June 2023). The regions are as follows:
Austria: This operating segment includes all of the Group's Austrian subsidiaries, apart from those with properties in Germany.
Germany: This operating segment includes the German subsidiaries and also subsidiaries in Austria (under Austrian company law) holding properties in Germany. As of 30 June 2024, those properties that meet the criteria of IFRS 5 are reported as assets held for sale and shown as discontinued operations together with the German assets and liabilities already sold. In the Germany segment, the continuing and discontinued operations continue to be presented together in line with internal reporting to management.
In preparing and presenting the segment information, the same accounting and valuation policies are applied as for the consolidated financial statements.
Each division operates independently of every other division. The chief operating decision maker for the divisions is the Management Board.

In the first half of 2024, as in the previous year, real estate companies were purchased from CPI Property Group S.A. (see chapter 2.1.). As of 30 June 2024, receivables from CPI Property Group S.A. amounted to kEUR 3,918 (31 December 2023: kEUR 12,318) and liabilities to CPI Property Group S.A. amounted to kEUR 82,376 (31 December 2023: kEUR 37,026), which primarily include receivables and liabilities for purchase price payments on the one hand, and a vendor loan on the other hand. There were receivables of kEUR 6,585 (31 December 2023: kEUR 7,661) from the IMMOFINANZ AG Group, which primarily represent a receivable from the recharging of contractually assumed maintenance costs after the acquisition date and subsequent reductions in acquisition costs.

7. Significant events after the balance sheet date
S IMMO successfully completed the sale of the HOTO Business Tower in Zagreb on 12 July 2024. The office building has a gross leasable area of around 15,500 m².
Sales activities also continued, particularly in Germany.
As part of the ongoing exit from the German market, the Management Board decided in July 2024 to initiate the process of liquidating the German Maior Domus Hausverwaltungs GmbH. The final liquidation of the subsidiary is expected at the end of 2025.
In the second quarter of 2024, S IMMO AG's Management Board and Supervisory Board decided to gradually withdraw from the German market. In this context, the company is evaluating individual and portfolio sales.
The Germany segment is a significant geographical business area. As of 30 June 2024, those properties that meet the criteria of IFRS 5 are reported as assets held for sale and shown as discontinued operations together with the German assets and liabilities already sold.
In the consolidated income statement, the result (after taxes) of the discontinued operation is presented in a separate line both in the period 01–06/2024 and in the comparative period 01–06/2023.
Transactions between discontinued and continuing operations are eliminated in S IMMO's consolidated income statement. The consolidation of income and expenses was therefore continued for the periods reported. The result from discontinued operations presented in the consolidated income statement is broken down as follows:
| in '000 | 01–06/2024 | 01–06/2023 adjusted |

For the comparative period 2023, this results in the following adjustments to the consolidated income statement:
| in '000 | 01–06/2023 as reported |
Change | 01–06/2023 adjusted |

| of which attributable to non-controlling interests | -6,356 | 5,613 | -743 |
In the consolidated income statement of S IMMO the transactions between discontinued and continuing operations were eliminated. The consolidation of income and expenses was thus still carried out for the reported periods. In the consolidated income statement the result of the discontinued operation is as presented below:
| in '000 | 01–06/2023 as reported |
01–06/2023 adjusted |
|---|---|---|
| Operating cash flow | 7,045 | 12,067 |

| Cash flow from financing activities | -63,446 | -98,003 |
| Net cash flow from discontinued operation | 109,750 | 287,163 |
