POLIS Immobilien AG / Key word(s): Preliminary Results/Final Results 30.01.2015 16:08 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - At approx. EUR 10.3 million, preliminary consolidated earnings before tax exceeds latest forecast by 30% - Funds from operations climb over 30% to approx. EUR 6.7 million - Net asset value nevertheless increases only moderately due to non-cash valuation losses from financial derivatives Berlin, 30 January 2015. According to preliminary figures, POLIS Immobilien AG, Berlin, increased its consolidated earnings before tax by 6% to approx. EUR 10.3 million in 2014. The increased result is primarily attributable to higher income from the valuation of investment properties, extraordinary income from a guarantee payment and a positive result from the valuation of certain interest rate hedging instruments. This means that earnings before taxes (EBT) are about EUR 2.5 million higher than last projected by the company. At the same time, funds from operations (FFO), which are adjusted for extraordinary results, rose by approx. 30% to EUR 6.7 million. At approx. EUR 8.7 million, consolidated net income was up by 7% on the previous year. Other income, which is directly offset against equity outside the income statement, reached a negative EUR -3.3 million last year. It is primarily based on non-cash losses from the valuation of interest rate hedging instruments of EUR -4.7 million caused by the drop in market interest rates. As a result, consolidated comprehensive income declined by 40% to EUR 5.4 million and the net asset value increased by only 3.9% to EUR 15.24 per share. POLIS has used financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks for many years. A change in market interest rates leads to non-cash results from the valuation of these financial instruments which are released by the end of the term. The figures reported in this announcement are preliminary and have not yet been confirmed by the auditor. The final result may therefore differ from the figures published here.
