The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deutsche EuroShop: Solid Midyear Result, Further Growth Planned - Revenue: EUR 70.4 million (+12%), EBIT: EUR 60.8 million (+13%) - EBT before valuation: EUR 31.2 million (+20%) - EPS: EUR 0.60 - FFO: EUR 0.72 per share Hamburg, 12 August 2010 - With a revenue of EUR 70.4 million (period of previous year: EUR 63.0 million), an EBIT of EUR 60.8 million (EUR 53.8 million) and a consolidated profit of EUR 26.0 million (EUR 30.4 million) after the first six months the shopping center investor Deutsche EuroShop is fully according to plan to achieve the forecast for 2010. 'The net operating income (NOI) improved by around 13% to almost EUR 63.0 million. A significant influencing factor for the growth was the A10 Center in Wildau near Berlin, which contributes to our results since February', Deutsche EuroShop's CFO Olaf Borkers comments. Earnings before taxes and valuation came to EUR 31.2 million, almost 20% higher than in the same period last year. Consolidated profit totalled just under EUR 26 million. That corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.60 (2009: EUR 0.83). It should be noted here that consolidated profit was boosted in the previous year by positive exceptional and currency effects on measurement gains. FFO (funds from operations), which is an indicator of operating performance, improved by 2% from EUR 0.71 to EUR 0.72 per share. 'We are still optimistic to acquire another shopping center in the second half of the year. In addition to that we want to increase our shareholdings in shopping centers that already form part of our portfolio. The acquisitions of shares of the centers in Dresden, Kassel and Wuppertal was a first step. On the financing side we see us as very well positioned and could invest up to EUR 300 million', Olaf Borkers says confidently. Deutsche EuroShop keeps its already end of April published forecasts for the 2010 financial year unchanged. The long-term dividend policy geared towards continuity shall be pursued: The Excecutive Board assumes that a dividend of at least EUR 1.05 per share again can be distributed for the financial year 2010.
