// VIB continues on successful growth path during first nine months of 2015
Operating activities
VIB Vermögen AG is a medium-sized company specialised in commercial real estate management, and has now been
operating successfully on the real estate market for more than 20 years. The focus is on real estate from the sectors
of logistics / light industry, as well as wholesale / retail, in the strong economic region of southern Germany. VIB's
shares have been listed on the stock exchange of Munich (m:access) and Frankfurt (Open Market, XETRA) since 2005.
VIB's business model is based on a "develop-or-buy-and-hold" strategy: On the one hand, VIB acquires properties
that are already rented. Moreover, the company develops new properties in their entirety in order to transfer them
long-term to its own portfolio, and generate rental income from them. VIB also holds investments in companies with
real estate assets. In total, the VIB Group portfolio as of September 30, 2015 comprises 103 attractive logistics
properties, shopping and specialist retail centres, and industrial and service centres with a total rentable space of
around 1.0 million sqm and a 2.3% vacancy rate.
Funding via annuity loans allows VIB to pursue a sustainable financing approach. The company is able to continuously
increase its net asset value (NAV) through the ongoing repayment of these loans and the resultant interest savings.
Compared with financing through final maturity loans, no refinancing risk exists in the case of annuity loans.
Market environment
According to the September Economic Barometer published by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) in
September 2015, the German economy has remained on its modest uptrend. While production in the manufacturing
industry is stagnating currently, especially services that are strongly aligned with consumption are providing strong
impulses. Strong private household spending is benefiting from the continued rise in employment, exerting a positive
impact on economic trends in Germany.
Despite this development, significant uncertainty continues to prevail among German corporates. The strained
situation in the Eurozone and risks of a marked cooling of economic dynamics in emerging economies, especially
China, might also dampen economic prospects in Germany.
According to Jones Lang LaSalle – one of the most important consulting and service companies in the real estate
sector – the commercial real estate market in Germany is heading toward a new transaction record in 2015 driven by
the sustained high demand. Commercial real estate transaction volumes stood at EUR 38.2 billion during the first nine
months of the year, for example, reflecting significant growth of 50%, or EUR 12.7 billion, compared with the previous
year's equivalent period. Among other factors, a growing level of investments realised by foreign investors have made
considerable contributions to this growth.
As also in previous quarters, trends in the retail property sector, in particular, proved very pleasing. With a share in
total transaction volumes of 35%, or EUR 13.3 billion, retail ranked as the most popular asset class during the first nine
months of 2015 after office properties (40% or EUR 15.2 billion). A positive trend is also identifiable with logistics
properties. This asset class, which has meanwhile become very popular, reached EUR 2.7 billion of transaction volumes
during the first nine months the current year, thereby up by around 20% year-on-year.

Business trends
VIB continued on its profitable growth path during the third quarter of 2015. In terms of both operating revenue and
earnings before tax (EBT), trends during the first nine months of the year were recorded within the scope of the
guidance for the full year.
Already on February 1, 2015, the company transferred the fourth MAN service station that it has developed itself to
its portfolio. This service station is located in Freiburg-Umkirch. This was followed on April 1, 2015 by a revitalised
specialist retail centre in Neu-Ulm. Both projects are fully rented. The investment volume amounted to a total of
EUR 22.3 million.
In August, VIB also completed to schedule its largest proprietary development to date, the logistics centre at the
Interpark near Ingolstadt, and transferred it to its new tenants. This commercial property was fully rented on the
completion date, and comprises a land area of 95,000 sqm and usable building space of 55,000 sqm. The highly
modern logistics centre entailed an investment volume of EUR 34.0 million, and is situated in one of the southern
Germany's most important business parks in the catchment area of the Munich and Nuremberg metropolitan regions.
With this investment VIB exceeded the mark of 1 million sqm in terms of rental space.

5INTERIM ANNOUNCEMENT Q3 2015
VIB achieved an important milestone in the financing area in the third quarter 2015 with the early fixing of interest
rates for annuity loans. Comprising a total of EUR 162 million of lending volume, the company was able to reach an
early agreement with its financing banks on new and significantly more beneficial interest terms with the usual long-
term periods. Accordingly, the average interest rate that currently stands at between 4.5 and 5.0% for the terms that
expire in 2016 and 2017 will reduce to around 2.0%. VIB will be able to report a significantly positive earnings effect
over the coming years as a result of this long-term securing of the currently favourable interest rate level. This earnings
enhancement will become fully effective as from the 2018 fiscal year.
Consolidated revenue was up by 6.2% to EUR 55.0 million during the first nine months of 2015 (9M 2014: EUR 51.7
million). Total operating revenue was up by 5.7% to EUR 55.3 million (9M 2014: EUR 52.3 million). This growth
derives from rental income from new properties which were not yet, or only partially, part of the real estate portfolio
in the prior-year equivalent period.
Value changes to investment properties of EUR 9.0 million (9M 2014: EUR 1.1 million) were chiefly attributable to
the properties that the company developed itself in 2015, the logistics centre in the Interpark near Ingolstadt, and the
MAN service station in Freiburg-Umkirch. Expenses for investment properties consisted primarily of operating
costs and repairs, and stood at EUR 9.3 million (9M 2014: EUR 9.3 million). Personnel expenses rose to EUR 2.5
million as a consequence of the company's continued growth (9M 2014: EUR 2.2 million), while other operating
expenses amounted to EUR 1.2 million (9M 2014: EUR 1.4 million).
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) were up by 26.5% to EUR 51.2 million (9M 2014: EUR 40.5 million). When
adjusted for valuation effects, EBIT advanced by 7.3% to EUR 42.3 million (9M 2014: EUR 39.4 million). Given the
favourable interest rate environment, interest expenses of EUR 15.3 million were recorded slightly below the level
of the previous-year period (EUR 15.4 million), despite brisk investment activity. Earnings before tax (EBT) were up
by 41.5% year-on-year to reach EUR 35.6 million (9M 2014: EUR 25.2 million). The EBT margin improved correspondingly
from 48.1% in the prior-year period to currently 64.4%. When adjusted for valuation effects and extraordinary
items, adjusted EBT outpaced the top line growth rate, reporting an increase of 10.9% to EUR 26.8 million (9M
2014: EUR 24.2 million).
After deducting EUR 5.8 million of income taxes (current tax EUR 2.0 million, deferred tax EUR 3.8 million), the
Group reported consolidated net income of EUR 29.9 million (9M 2014: EUR 21.3 million). Undiluted earnings
per share stood at EUR 0.96 (given an average of 27,579,833 shares in issue), reflecting 18.5% year-on-year growth
(9M 2014: EUR 0.81).
FFO (Funds from Operations), an indicator of cash inflows from operating activities, improved by EUR 2.1 million,
or 9.5%, to EUR 23.8 million during the first nine months of 2015 (9M 2014: EUR 21.7 million), while FFO per share
were at the previous year's level of EUR 0.86 despite the higher average number of shares in issue (27,579,833 shares).
Due to the strong consolidated net income that was generated, the new investments and the ongoing repayment of
annuity loans, VIB lifted its net asset value (NAV) by 8.0% compared with the end of the 2014 fiscal year to a level
of EUR 389.3 million (December 31, 2014: EUR 360.5 million). NAV per share (undiluted) increased by 4.6% to
EUR 15.21 as of September 30, 2015 compared with EUR 14.54 as of December 31, 2014.
