IMMOFINANZ Group recorded successful operating development and generated
sound growth in rental income and earnings in the first quarter of 2024.
Rental income rose by 11.5% year-on-year to EUR 143.2 million. After an
adjustment for new acquisitions, completions and sales, the like-for-like

million (Q1 2023: EUR 56.4 million).
"Our start into 2024 was very successful with substantial growth in all
relevant indicators and a more than twofold increase in Group net profit.
This strong development was supported by the expansion of our portfolio in
the previous year to include higher yield retail properties and higher
like-for-like rental income that resulted from our asset management. Our
strategy has once again proven to be resilient and value-creating in this
still challenging environment and we intend to continue this course
consequently", commented Radka Doehring, member of the Executive Board of
IMMOFINANZ, on the development of business.
Revaluations (including property development and property sales) totalled
EUR -9.9 million, compared with EUR -9.1 million in the first quarter of
2023 and continue to reflect the challenging market environment. Financial
results was at EUR -22.3 million (Q1 2023: EUR -48.5 million). Net profit
more than doubled to EUR 49.7 million and earnings per share rose to EUR
0.35 (Q1 2023: EUR 0.16).
High occupancy rate and successful portfolio optimisation
IMMOFINANZ Group's property portfolio included 505 properties as of 31 March

IMMOFINANZ Group continued its strategic property sales during the first
quarter of 2024 with a volume that totalled EUR 91.8 million (including S
IMMO). Other portfolio optimising transactions were completed after the
reporting period: S IMMO acquired a EUR 463 million portfolio in the Czech
Republic from the CPI Property Group, and IMMOFINANZ sold the City Tower
Vienna (Justizzentrum Wien Mitte) office building to a German investor in
May 2024. This latter transaction is the largest to date this year on the
Vienna office market with a sale price of more than EUR 150 million.
