• Operating profit at EUR 2.4 million (same period last year: EUR 8.6 million)

Frankfurt am Main, 21 November 2013 - IFM Immobilien AG concluded the first three quarters of its 2013 financial year with a consolidated profit of 0.5 million euros (prior-year period:
5.7 million euros). The operating profit (earnings before taxes) equalled 2.4 million euros at the end of the reporting period. At the end of the same period last year, the earnings after taxes had equalled 8.6 million Euros. The decline in operating profit resulted primarily from a decrease in rent revenues and the diminished result from the assessment of investment properties, both of which are essentially explained by the disposal of the "Romeo & Julia" property in Frankfurt am Main. On top of that, expenses for the implemented restructuring and outsourcing measures impacted the results. Overall, the consolidated revenues at the end of the nine-month period of
2013 added up to 12.2 million euros, down from 14.7 million euros reported for the same period last year. To download the Group's full-length interim report for the first three quarters of 2013, which was published today, please go to the homepage of IFM Immobilien AG at (www.ifm.ag).

additional projects. IFM's net worth and finances are rock solid. I assume that the results of our efforts during the first three quarters have created a sound starting basis for the year as a whole and the subsequent quarters, and that we will conclude the ongoing financial year with a positive result. Once the restructuring measures undertaken this year are completed, the successful performance of IFM will be more visibly reflected in the earnings performance."
Group Revenue and Earnings Performance
The consolidated revenues decreased from 14.7 million euros to 12.2 million euros during the reporting period. This is mainly explained by diminished rent revenues and reduced revenues due to change of incidental expenses because of the disposal of the "Romeo & Julia" property in Frankfurt. Collectively, the rent revenues totalled 9.4 million euros (prior-year period: 11.6 million euros) while the result from the assessment of investment properties added up to 5.4 million euros (Q1-Q3 2012: 8.8 million euros). At the end of the year's first three quarters, this resulted in
0.5 million euros in consolidated earnings after taxes (prior-year period: 5.7 million euros). The undiluted earnings per share amount to 0.06 euros (Q1-Q3 2012: 0.60 euros).
By 30 September 2013, the total assets of the IFM Group equalled 286.7 million euros, down from
366.5 million euros at the last balance sheet date of 31 December 2012. This dip of nearly 22 % is mainly attributable to the sale of the "Romeo & Julia" property and the resulting reduction of the Group's debt. Non-current assets held for sale added up to 88.5 million euros by the balance sheet date. This item includes the two properties "Zeilgalerie" in Frankfurt am Main and "Office Tower" in Darmstadt now sold. On 31 December 2012, the item showed a total of 94.7 million euros. The equity ratio stood at 43.1 % by 30 September 2013, substantially exceeding the ratio of
33.3 % reported by the balance sheet date of the previous year.
