Wien (euro adhoc) - S IMMO AG: dividend to be raised from EUR 0.15 to 
EUR 0.20 per share 
 
- S IMMO confirms preliminary results for 2013 
  - Highest gross profit in the Group's history 
  - Net income for the year up again to EUR 28.1m 
  - Earnings per share up by about 13% 
  - Proposed dividend: 20 cents per share 
 
Stock exchange listed S IMMO AG (Bloomberg: SPI:AV, Reuters: SIAG.VI) 
confirms the preliminary results for the financial year 2013 first  
published on 27 March 2014. The results are in line with all the  
Group's targets, and all key financial indicators continue their  
uninterrupted rise since 2010. Ernst Vejdovszky, Chairman of  
S IMMO AG's Management Board, comments: "S IMMO AG has again proved  
what an efficient, profitable and highly successful property company  
it is. The key indicators are proof of S IMMO's strength and the  
correctness of our strategy. We are determined to continue this  
positive trend in the current year as well." 
 
Friedrich Wachernig, Member of S IMMO AG's Management Board,  
continues: "These successes, the increasing recovery of our markets  
and the gradually returning optimism - all these factors make us feel 
very positive about the quarters and the years to come. We want our  
shareholders to benefit from these successes too, and will propose to 
the Annual General Meeting an increased dividend of 20 cents per  
share." 
 
Gross profit at all-time high Rental income in 2013 came to  
EUR 116.7m (2012: EUR 118.5m), the reduction reflecting the property  
disposals realised as expected. Cost savings helped improve the gross 
profit from hotel operations by 6.0% to EUR 10.5m (2012: EUR 9.9m).  
The overall gross profit increased from EUR 104.4m in 2012 to  
EUR 109.6m in 2013. This 5.0% increase was attributable to the  
improvement in the gross profit from hotel operations together with a 
reduction in property- related costs, and represents an all-time high 
in S IMMO AG's history. 
 
Property sales exceed target For the financial year 2013 S IMMO had  
planned on property disposals amounting to about EUR 100m. A total of 
twelve properties were in fact sold, with sales proceeds amounting to 
EUR 128.1m (2012: EUR 132.2m). This was significantly higher than the 
original target, and realised gains on sale of EUR 6.4m (2012:  
EUR 10.8m). 
 
Management expenses were again reduced - from EUR 16.3m in 2012 to  
EUR 15.1m in 2013 - an impressive saving of 7.7%. EBITDA was raised  
by 2.0%, to EUR 100.9m (2012: EUR 98.9m). The EBITDA margin was 52.1% 
(2012: 50.3%). The ratio of EBITDA to the portfolio value was an  
excellent 5.7% (2012: 5.3%). 
 
Positive revaluation results Market sentiment in Germany continued  
positive in 2013. A major part of the positive valuation results in  
Germany was attributable to revaluation gains in connection with  
property sales. While revaluation results in Germany and Austria were 
positive, impairment writedowns were necessary in Central and  
Southeastern Europe, above all on 
 
office properties in Budapest. Overall gains from property valuations 
over the year came to EUR 6.9m (2012: EUR 16.8m) 
 
EBIT came out at EUR 95.8m (2012: EUR 106.9m). The decrease reflected 
the reduced size of the property portfolio. 
 
Profit for year up again Financing costs (excluding participating  
certificate results) for the financial year 2013 amounted to  
EUR 53.9m (2012: EUR 61.8m), including non-cash valuation losses on  
derivatives of EUR 2.3m (2012: EUR 8.0m). Financing costs were lower  
than in 2012, mainly as a result of the repayment of borrowings from  
the proceeds of property sales. The Group's consolidated net income  
for the year came out at a very satisfactory EUR 28.1m (2012:  
EUR 26.1m), an increase of 7.6%. 
 
Key performance indicators up The reduction in property-related costs 
and the increased profit from hotel operations resulted in a further  
increase in net operating income (NOI), which totalled EUR 103.4m for 
the financial year 2013 (2012: EUR 97.5m), an improvement of 6.0%.  
Success in 2013 was also reflected in a 7.6% increase in operating  
cash flow to EUR 99.3m (2012: EUR 92.3m). The book value per share  
also rose, and as at 31 December 2013 stood at EUR 7.83 (2012:  
EUR 7.18) per share. The EPRA NAV also improved, and as at  
31 December 2013 stood at EUR 9.76 (2012: EUR 9.35) per share. 
 
Capital markets: proposed dividend increase to EUR 0.20 per share  
After moving mainly sideways in the first nine months of 2013, the  
price of S IMMO Share improved significantly in the last quarter, and 
ended the year at EUR 5.290. This was an overall gain for the year of 
9.98%, and - counting in the dividend - of 13.10%. 
 
In Management's opinion, the significant improvement in results  
justifies an increase in dividend - at the Annual General Meeting on  
11 June 2014 an increase of the dividend to EUR 0.20 per share will  
be proposed. The payment will take the form of a repayment of capital 
not liable to investment income withholding tax (KESt). 
 
Outlook for 2014 S IMMO AG's strategy remains unchanged: The Group  
invests in four property use types and in four regions within the  
European Union, focusing on capital cities. The Group can thus use  
property cycles to strategic advantage to benefit from the various  
different developments. At present, S IMMO AG sees the greatest  
potential in Berlin: on the basis of demographic developments and the 
still low proportion of home ownership, the Group is planning to  
construct freehold apartments on land it already owns. Further  
possible investments in Berlin and Vienna are also being examined.  
The company will continue to buy back S IMMO Shares and S IMMO INVEST 
participating certificates until the repurchase programmes end, with  
the aim of further increasing its attractiveness in the capital  
markets. 
 
CEO Ernst Vejdovszky sums it up: "Our aim is to improve our results  
even further in 2014. Our ambition is to continue the positive trend  
of recent years and to prove that our successes are sustainable."
