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.
