Stock exchange listed Sparkassen Immobilien AG (Bloomberg:
SPI:AV, Reuters: SIAG.VI) is happy to be able to report stable
results for the first quarter of 2009 - significantly positive
EBIT, a profit, and increases in rental income and total
revenues.

Operating results: increases in revenues and rental income Sparkassen
Immobilien AG's revenues and rental income for the first quarter of
2009 grew to EUR28.5m and EUR22.3m, increases of 6% and 5%
respectively compared with the same period last year. There were
no changes in property valuations in the quarter, since the annual
financial statements for 2008 had already incorporated the results
of up-to-date external valuations (Q1 2008: EUR0.1m). Other
operating income increased considerably, from EUR0.5m to
EUR1.4m, reflecting the significantly higher gross operating profits
of Hotels Marriott Vienna and Marriott Budapest. In the first
quarter of this year no properties were disposed of, while in the
same period in 2008 there was a gain on property disposal of EUR5m.
This difference to the property disposals of the first quarter 2008
is also reflected in the EBIT and FFO.

Earnings performance: EBIT significantly positive EBITDA for the
first quarter fell from EUR19.9m by 20% to EUR15.9m. Sparkassen
Immobilien AG's EBIT of EUR13.5m (Q1 2008: EUR18.9m) was
significantly positive. Financing costs moved from EUR-7.5m to
EUR-10.2m. Participation certificate expenses fell from EUR-3.8m to
EUR-2.8m. EBT fell back from EUR7.6m to EUR0.4m. Consolidated net
profit after minority interests for the quarter ended 31 March
2009 came to EUR0.5m (Q1 2008: EUR6.2m). The net operating
income (NOI) stands at EUR17.7m slightly below the value of the
first quarter of 2008 (EUR17.9m), a decrease of 1%. The NOI margin
(NOI / revenues) stood at 61%. Cash flow from operating activities
increased from EUR14.3m to EUR15.9m. Funds from operations (FFO)
fell by 75% to EUR2.1m (Q1 2008: EUR8.2m). This also reflects
the difference of property disposals of the first quarter 2008.

Portfolio growth Development projects are progressing according to
plan, and as a result the Group's property portfolio in the past
quarter grew to EUR1.83bn. Development projects, which are
recognised at cost of acquisition and construction, made up
approximately 17% of the total. The standing portfolio by area is
made up of residential property (44%), office property (28%),
commercial property (17%), hotels (7%) and other property (4%).
More than half the properties are in Germany, 27% of the
portfolio is in Austria, and the remaining 22% is in
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Romania and Hungary. With the
exception of a single office property in EU candidate country
Croatia, all Sparkassen Immobilien AG's properties are in EU
states.

The occupancy rate of the standing portfolio at balance sheet
date remained unchanged, at 91%. The average gross rental yield
(rent divided by market value) for all countries together at 31
March 2009 was 6.8%.

All development projects on schedule All ongoing development projects
of Sparkassen Immobilien AG are on schedule, the progress of
construction work is very satisfactory, and the pre-letting

rates are excellent. For the shopping centres Sun Plaza in Bucharest and
Serdika Center in Sofia the pre-letting rates are over 80%. The Hotel Vysoká in
Bratislava is also on schedule, will be completed this year and will be
operated by Austria Trend Hotels. Together with the Viennese projects - the
residential and office building in Neutorgasse and the student hall of
residence in Sechshauser Strasse - the development projects, which are
scheduled for completion in 2009/2010, will return significant increases in
rental income in the years to come.

s IMMO Share: market price up 18.7% at end of quarter, core
shareholder increases stake s IMMO Share's closing price at the end
of the first quarter of 2009 was EUR2.35, an 18.7% improvement
since the beginning of the year, and a very encouraging stock
market performance. This positive trend and a marked increase in
trading volumes have continued in recent weeks. Currently (22 May
2009), the price is EUR4.22. This represents a discount of 52% to
Net Asset Value (NAV), which at 31 March 2009 was EUR8.8 compared
with EUR9.6 a year earlier. The second core shareholder after
Erste Group - Vienna Insurance Group - exceeded the 10%
notification threshold in April. Sparkassen Immobilien AG sees
this increase in the stake as a long-term vote of confidence. The
combination of these two major shareholders, with their
networks, their size and their knowledge and experience of
Sparkassen Immobilien AG's core markets is a source of enduring,
long-term strength for the Group and its future development.

Acquisition of new OMV Head Office in Viertel Zwei With the
acquisition of OMV AG's new Head Office in Vienna and the disposal
of its old headquarters, Sparkassen Immobilien AG has demonstrated
its ability to take advantage of special opportunities even in a
difficult environment. The new Head Office forms part of the
Viertel Zwei development, one of Vienna's most attractive office
locations, and with its 47,000 sq m of prime office space
provides ideal working conditions for OMV employees. Both deals
are expected to close in the coming months.
