PATRIZIA Immobilien AG: PATRIZIA: All targets achieved

Augsburg (pta006/25.03.2015/07:00 UTC+1) Key points:
- Assets under management increase by 24% to EUR 14.6 billion
- Operating result of EUR 50.2 million (up 32%)
- Bank loans reduced by 62%
- Equity ratio climbs by 13.4 percentage points to 55.3%
- Shareholders again share in profits with bonus shares in an allocation ratio of 10:1
- 2015 forecast: operating result to increase by around 10%

In the last fiscal year, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (ISIN DE000PAT1AG3) increased its real estate assets by EUR 2.8 billion to EUR 14.6 billion (2013: EUR 11.8 billion, +24%), greatly surpassing its target increase of EUR 2.0 billion. With around 3,000 units, the sale of its own portfolio progressed faster than expected. Most of the remaining 1,081 units in the company's own portfolio should be sold by the end of the year. The operating result of EUR 50.2 million was in line with the forecast.

Consolidated revenues increase by 34%
Consolidated revenues, which rose to EUR 291.8 million from EUR 217.4 million in 2013, are firstly mainly due to the fact that 54% of the sold units came from current assets and that their selling prices totalling EUR 129.5 million are reported in revenues (2013: EUR 80.3 million). Secondly, an amount of EUR 25.7 million was generated from real estate developments. In
addition, income from service business rose EUR 11.5 million to EUR 106.3 million (2013:
EUR 94.8 million, +12.1%). The sale of investment property, which is not reported in sales,
totalled EUR 171.8 million and produced income of EUR 17.0 million.

Strong investment result shows the success of co-investments
PATRIZIA generated income from participations of EUR 39.1 million from the SÜDEWO, GBW and Seneca co-investments (2013: EUR 32.1 million, +21.6%). This included the advance profit distribution (EUR 16.8 million), performance-linked bonuses (EUR 17.0 million) and the dividend on invested equity (EUR 5.3 million). The co-investment WohnModul I produced earnings from companies accounted for using the equity method of EUR 3.2 million compared with EUR 0.7 million in the previous year.

Target operating result achieved
As a result of successful co-investments and an improved financial result, EBT in accordance with IFRS rose to EUR 42.0 million (+6%). The consolidated net profit of EUR 35.0 million was EUR 2.1 million less than the previous year and was affected by retrospective tax payments and consequential effects of the tax audit. At EUR 50.2 million, the forecast operating result was achieved and represents an increase of 32% on 2013 (EUR 38.1 million). Around 72% of this result is attributable to the Management Services segment.

Further increase in equity ratio
At the end of 2014, bank loans were reduced by 62% to EUR 122.0 million (2013: EUR 321.6 million). As a result of redemptions following property sales, loans fell to below EUR 60 million; however, increases of around EUR 64.3 million had a contrary effect with liquidity being held available for new investments. Cash and cash equivalents improved to EUR 145.4 million (2013: EUR 105.5 million). PATRIZIA thus has an extremely stable basis for it to engage in further attractive co-investments. The equity ratio rose significantly by 13.4 percentage points to 55.3%, while the return on equity (based on operating result) increased to 13.4% (2013: 11.3%).

Appropriation of profit
The Managing Board and Supervisory Board will submit a proposal to the Annual General Meeting on 25 June 2015 that the unappropriated profit of EUR 111.2 million of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG for 2014 be entirely carried forward to the new account. As in previous years, it is planned to issue new shares under a capital increase from company funds, with shareholders having an entitlement in a ratio of 10 to 1. The new shares will carry dividend rights from the beginning of the 2015 fiscal year.

Outlook for 2015
2015 will be the last year in the transition phase of our development to become a European real estate investment company. For the current year, the Managing Board of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG anticipates an increase of around 10% in the operating result and will provide more precise details towards the middle of the year. Managed real estate assets should again increase by EUR 2.0 billion. Of this, EUR 1.0 billion should be achieved through the balance from regular purchases and sales and EUR 1.0 billion from one to three portfolio transactions with individual volumes of EUR 0.2 to 1 billion. In contrast, own stocks of property should be largely sold off. With the exception of the bonded loans, PATRIZIA should be almost debt-free by the end of the year. As things currently stand, the equity ratio of 80% planned for the end of 2015 remains achievable.
