Higher profitability as a result of strong operational performance

Aroundtown (the "Company" or "AT") announces its H1 2018 with higher profitability from high internal growth, reflected in a 4.6% growth on a like-for-like basis from rent and occupancy increases, and high asset quality resulting in a profit growth of 25% to nearly EUR1 billion in the first six months of 2018. The high scale of operational growth is further demonstrated by an increase in FFO I of 46% YOY. H1 2018 annualized FFO I of EUR379 million and EUR0.38 per share reflects an FFO I yield of 5% and dividend yield of 3.3%, which illustrates AT's robust performance results in continuous growth on a per share basis. Higher shareholder value generation is also evident in the EPRA NAV per share growth to EUR7.2 per share +14% since Dec 2017 adjusted for dividend, +11% net of dividend paid.

High quality portfolio, supported by sizable external growth of assets in top tier cities

AT continued its successful growth with over EUR1.4bn of acquisitions of mainly office and hotel assets offering high value-add potential in fundamentally strong cities, such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, London, Utrecht and Rotterdam. Additions in the hotel portfolio with two high quality assets in Berlin and London exhibit the strength of AT's quality portfolio: Hilton Berlin Gendarmenmarkt is a landmark asset encompassing an entire city block in the best location in Berlin and Hilton Hyde Park is a monumental assets overlooking the Hyde Park in the heart of London. Further building on its accretive capital recycling strategy, AT successfully disposed year-to-date over EUR700 million of non-core assets of which EUR500 million have been sold in H1 2018 at 15% above net book value and at a 28% disposal margin over cost. Further EUR235 million of disposals of non-core assets have been finalized after the reporting period. Disposals during H1 2018 led to an increase in FFO II of 93% to EUR300 million.

Maintaining the conservative capital structure

LTV remained low at 37% and 35% assuming conversion of deep-in-money convertible bonds. After the reporting date, another EUR105 million of convertible bonds have been submitted for conversion, thus resulting in 49% of the EUR300 million Series C bonds being converted. AT's proactive approach reinforced its financial stability by sustaining low average cost of debt of 1.7% and long average debt maturity of 7.4 years.
