Preliminary results S IMMO AG: highest EBIT in the Group's history

- EBIT of EUR 106.8m exceeds pre-crisis level
- Net income for the year increased by 22.5% to EUR 26.0m
- Ratio of EBITDA to portfolio value exceptionally strong at 5.3%
- FFO yield of 10.1%

After a very successful financial year 2011, S IMMO AG (Bloomberg:
SPI:AV, Reuters: SIAG.VI) continued the positive trend in 2012 and
significantly improved its key performance indicators once again.

Profitable property sales In the course of 2012 S IMMO took advantage
of the excellent climate in the German and Austrian property markets
and disposed of 21 properties at a profit. Sale proceeds during the
year under review totalled EUR 132.2m, compared with EUR 46.5m in
2011, so that S IMMO well exceeded its target of property sales of
EUR 100m for 2012. The gains on disposals came to EUR 10.8m.

Positive developments in hotel market Rental income in 2012 totalled
EUR 118.5m, compared with EUR 125.9m in 2011. The slight difference
is mainly explained by the successful property disposals. However,
the effect on earnings was more than compensated for by increases in
efficiency and further optimisation of costs. Revenues from hotel
operations (revenues from hotels operated under management
agreements) increased slightly, from EUR 40.6m in 2011 to EUR 42.0m.
This pushed the gross profit from hotel operations up from EUR 9.0m
to EUR 9.9m, an increase of 9.1%. The total gross profit for the year
came to EUR 104.4m, as against EUR 107.0m in 2011. S IMMO AG
continues to be successful in reducing its administrative costs by
4.4% in 2012. EBITDA was EUR 98.8m (2011: EUR 101.4m). The ratio of
EBITDA to the value of the property portfolio is 5.3% - an
exceptionally good result compared with the international average for
the industry of roughly 4%.

Highest EBIT in the Group's history Operating profit for the year
(EBIT) of EUR 106.8m showed an improvement of EUR 14.5m compared with
the EUR 92.3m achieved in 2011. This was an increase of 15.7% and the
highest EBIT in the Group's history. It was also EUR 6.8m higher in
comparison with the figure in 2007, the most recent year before the
financial crisis. For the whole of the financial year 2012, the
Group's consolidated net income came out at a very satisfactory
EUR 26.0m, compared with EUR 21.2m the year before, a marked increase
of 22.5% despite the smaller property portfolio.

Impressive FFO yield S IMMO AG continued the positive trend of the
first three quarters in the fourth quarter as well: FFO for the year
totalled EUR 33.0m (2011: EUR 28.9m). The FFO yield, in relation to
the Group's market capitalisation, was a very respectable 10.1%,
compared with 9.4% in 2011. Dividend increase planned At the Annual
General Meeting on 12 June 2013 the Management Board will propose the
distribution of a dividend. In the Management's opinion, the
significant improvement in results justifies an increase in dividend.

Outlook: S IMMO excellently positioned for 2013 S IMMO will continue
to pursue its tried-and-tested strategy in the current year: In 2013,
the Group again plans to dispose of around 5% of its portfolio. It
also intends to take advantage of favourable opportunities for
property purchases, especially in Germany.

S IMMO AG's final results for the year will be presented on 25 April
2013.
