PREOS Real Estate AG with profitable growth in the first half of 2019

Leipzig, 22 October 2019 - PREOS Real Estate AG ("PREOS", ISIN DE000A2LQ850) grew profitably in the first half of 2019. The currently expanding real estate portfolio was further enlarged by the acquisition of an office building in Oberhausen. The rental income of the entire portfolio already amounted to around EUR 2.7 million in the reporting period. Almost no rental income was generated in the same period of the previous year, as the company did not begin the dynamic expansion of its real estate portfolio until the second half of 2018. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, amounted to EUR 3.0 million in the first half of 2019, compared with EUR -0.7 million in the pro forma prior-year period. Consolidated earnings after taxes in the first half of 2019 turned to EUR 0.3 million after a pro forma loss of EUR 0.7 million a year earlier.

The reported figures naturally do not yet include the effects of the contribution of publity Investor GmbH to PREOS. As a result of this transaction, the value of the real estate portfolio in the PREOS Group has multiplied and PREOS gains access to the attractive market segment of high-priced commercial properties with market values between EUR 40 million and EUR 300 million. The real estate pipeline enables PREOS to expand its real estate portfolio to over one billion euros by the end of the year.

In operational terms, PREOS will focus on the further successful integration of publity Investor GmbH and its extensive real estate portfolio in the coming months. The focus will continue to be on active work with the real estate portfolio, which also manifests itself in the exploitation of market opportunities both in the purchase and sale of properties. For example, in autumn 2019 publity Investor GmbH succeeded
in profitably selling the St. Martin Tower in Frankfurt a.M. with around 26,000 square metres of rentable space to renowned real estate investors after only a few months. Furthermore, an attractive office building with approx. 17,000 square metres was purchased in Eschborn near Frankfurt.

Frederik Mehlitz, CEO of PREOS Real Estate AG: "We are satisfied with the first half of 2019. After the balance sheet date, our company entered a new dimension in terms of size and market access by bringing in publity Investor GmbH. We now intend to continue to exploit the resulting opportunities as a relevant and active player in the German office real estate market, increasing the value for our shareholders".
