Ad hoc announcement - Jersey, 11 March 2015. Atrium European Real
Estate Limited (VSE/ Euronext: ATRS), a leading owner, operator and
developer of retail real estate and shopping centres in Central and
Eastern Europe, announces its results for the year ended 31 December
2014.

Financial Highlights: - Gross rental income ("GRI") increased by 5.4%
to EUR214.5m (2013: EUR203.5m), while net rental income ("NRI")
increased by 6.9% to EUR204.0m (2013:EUR190.8m)

- EPRA like-for-like GRI and NRI were both broadly flat with marginal
decreases of 0.6% to EUR189.1m (2013: EUR190.2m) and 0.8% to
EUR179.6m (2013:EUR181.0m),respectively

- Operating margin for the year was 95.1% (2013: 93.8%)

- EPRA occupancy rate at 31 December 2014 remained high at 97.4% (31

by 8.5% to EUR174.0m (2013: EUR160.4m)

- Loss before taxation of EUR37.0m, compared to a profit of EUR90.6m
in 2013, as a result of a EUR168.1m devaluation (compared to
EUR21.3m devaluation in 2013) of which EUR103.8m is attributable to
the Russian income-producing portfolio and land bank and EUR33.5m
to the Turkish land bank. The devaluation was partially offset by
EUR13.2m growth in NRI and a EUR12.5m foreign exchange gain
(compared to a EUR5.8m foreign exchange loss in 2013)

- Company adjusted EPRA earnings per share increased by 7.2% to 35.9

the Group's core markets of Poland and the Czech Republic) for
EUR205.1m in aggregate and the opening of Atrium Felicity shopping

repayment in 2014

- For 2015, the Board has approved a 12.5% increase in the dividend

requirements and restrictions of commercial viability). The first
payment of EUR0.0675 per share will be paid as a capital repayment
on 31 March 2015 to shareholders on the register on 23 March 2015,
with an ex-dividend date of 20 March 2015

classified as held for sale at 31 December 2014

Operational highlights during and after the period:

Investment properties - Progressed the Group's strategy of acquiring

Republic for EUR83.1m;
o acquisition of Focus Mall in Bydgoszcz, Poland for EUR122m; and

completion expected in Q2 2015

- In January 2015, Atrium divested a portfolio of 72 smaller retail
assets in the Czech Republic, for a consideration of EUR69m. The
consideration comprised a cash payment of EUR60m with the balance
satisfied through a secured vendor loan to the purchaser

- Achieved further progress with the strategy of monetising Atrium's
non-core and non-income producing development and land assets, with
sales in Turkey, Bulgaria and Georgia for EUR71.4m in aggregate

- The 17,300 sqm extension to the Group's Atrium Copernicus shopping
centre in Torun is now complete and will open to the public for the
first time tomorrow

Balance sheet - Cash position of EUR425.2m with borrowings of
EUR1,068.1m as at 31 December 2014 (2013: EUR305.6m cash and
EUR803.6m borrowings), representing a gross and net LTV of 36.1% and
21.7%, respectively, reflecting a conservatively positioned balance
sheet

- During the period, Atrium re-purchased bonds issued in 2005 and due
in 2015, with a total nominal value of EUR39.4m and completed early
repayments of two bank loans in Slovakia, totalling EUR41.0m

- In October 2014, Atrium issued a EUR350 million unsecured eight
year Eurobond, carrying a 3.625% coupon. The bond was rated BBB- by
both S&P and Fitch, in line with Atrium's corporate rating. Also
in October 2014, Atrium obtained two five year revolving credit
facilities, totalling EUR50m

Board of Directors and Group executive management team changes -
Josip Kardun, the Group's Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief
Executive Officer, was appointed CEO as of 1 December 2014,
succeeding Rachel Lavine who assumed the role of Executive Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors. In October 2014, Rudiger Dany
became Group Chief Operating Officer

- In January 2015, following Gazit-Globe's acquisition of Apollo's
entire 13.87% shareholding, the two Directors of Atrium nominated
by Apollo, Joseph Azrack and Roger Orf, resigned from the Board of
Directors

- In January 2015, Atrium also announced the appointment of Ryan Lee
as its new Group Chief Financial Officer. Ryan will succeed Sona
Hýbnerová, who has made the decision to leave the Group after 10
years in order to pursue other business opportunities. Ryan's
appointment becomes effective as of 1 April 2015

Commenting on the results, Josip Kardun, Group CEO, said: "In my
first set of results as Atrium's CEO, I am pleased to report another
strong year of progress during which we made significant strides in
both growing and reshaping the Group's portfolio, while, once again,
delivering growth across our main key performance indicators.
Importantly, the EUR350 million of acquisitions and disposals we
agreed or completed during the year, together with our development
and asset management activities, have been fundamental to the
successful progression of our strategy of increasing our weighting
towards large dominant shopping centres in the CEE region's strongest
and most stable economies of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

"Despite there being some on-going macroeconomic uncertainty across
Europe and a prolongation of the very challenging market conditions
in Russia, I believe that we are well placed for the future, with a
strong balance sheet and an improving portfolio."
