Stock exchange listed Sparkassen Immobilien AG (Bloomberg:
SPI:AV, Reuters: SIAG.VI) can look back on a successful first half
of 2009, with a significantly positive EBIT, a net profit, an
increase in rental income and revenues and a positive performance
on the stock market.

Operating results: growth in revenues and rental income Compared with
the same period last year, revenues were up 6% to EUR 57.3m and
rental income was up 4% to EUR 44.7m. Other operating income rose
to EUR 10m (HY1 2008: EUR 2.2m). This increase is mainly due to the
higher income from the Marriott Vienna and Marriott Budapest hotels
after completion of renovation.

Revaluations and disposal of properties In the first six months of
2009 revaluation of properties led to a slight decrease in
value of EUR 4.9m, compared with a break-even outcome with a
minimal gain of EUR 118,000 for the same period last year. In the
same period, two property sales were finalised, resulting in
gains on disposal of EUR 290,000 (HY1 2008: EUR 5.43m). The
properties realised a profit compared with their values at the
time of the last revaluation, carried out just a few months
earlier.

Earnings performance: EBIT significantly positive Cash flow from
operating activities was up by 17% to EUR 33.0m from EUR 28.3m in
the first half of 2008. At EUR 11.3m, funds from operations
(FFO) were marginally lower than in the same period last year
(EUR 11.8m). EBITDA fell slightly by 3% to EUR 33.5m (HY1 2008: EUR
34.3m), while EBIT was down 26% from EUR 32.2m (first six months of
2008) to EUR 23.8m. This fall was due to lower gains on disposal
compared with the first half of 2008 and lower property
valuations. Finance costs were stable at EUR 15.0m after EUR
14.9m for the first half of 2008. Expenditure for participating
certificates is dependent on EBIT, and therefore fell from EUR 6.4m
for the first half of 2008 to EUR 5.1m in the same period this
year. This is where the equity character of this financial
instrument shows to good advantage. Net profit before tax (EBT)
was EUR 3.8m (HY1 2008: EUR 11.0m), and consolidated net profit
came out at EUR 3.2m. Earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.05
compared with EUR 0.13 for the first six months of 2008.

Growth of property portfolio With development projects on schedule,
in the first half of 2009 Sparkassen Immobilien AG's property
portfolio grew to EUR 1.85bn (31 December 2008: EUR 1.78bn). At
30 June 2009 the portfolio comprised 261 properties with total
lettable area of 1,517,300 sq m. The majority of the properties are
in Austria and Germany (27% and 51% respectively), with 19% in
Central Europe (the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) and 3% in
Southeast Europe (Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania). For the first half
of 2009 the gross rental yield was 6.7%. At 30 June 2009 the
average occupancy rate was almost unchanged at 90.5%. With the
exception of a single office building in EU candidate country
Croatia, all Sparkassen Immobilien AG's investments are in EU
states.

All development projects on schedule Sparkassen Immobilien AG's
ongoing development projects continue to make steady progress, and
the pre-letting ratios are excellent. The students' hall of
residence and senior citizens' day centre in Vienna's
Sechshauser Strasse, which is let long-term to a City of Vienna
service organisation, together with Hotel Vysoká and the office and
retail building Galvaniho 4 in Bratislava will be completed and
opened by the end of the year. Completion of the residential and
office building Neutorgasse in Vienna's Inner City is scheduled
for the second quarter of 2010. The sale of most of the apartments
has already been contractually agreed. The two shopping centres -
Serdika Center in Sofia and Sun Plaza in Bucharest - will be
opened in early 2010 and both have pre-letting ratios of over 85%.

s IMMO Share: six-month performance shows 117% gain Throughout the
second quarter of 2009 s IMMO Share performed strongly. The
closing price at 30 June 2009 was EUR 4.29, for a six-month gain
of 116.7%. This still represents a discount of 51% to net asset value
(NAV), which stood at EUR 8.8 at 30 June 2009, compared with
EUR 9.9 a year ago. Currently (closing price on 25 August 2009)
the share is quoted at EUR 4.88.
