ACCENTRO REAL ESTATE AG Reports Best FFO Performance in the Company's
Annals

- Net income during 2014 short financial year: EUR 7.07 million

- Earnings per share jump to EUR 0.28

- Focus on privatisation business line pays off

- Fivefold increase in earnings before interest and taxes

- NAV per share EUR 3.51 (end of 2013/2014 FY: EUR 3.28)

Berlin, 30 March 2015 - The Berlin-based public limited company ACCENTRO
Real Estate AG (ISIN: DE000A0KFKB3) concluded its 2014 short financial year
with its best-ever funds from operations performance. ACCENTRO, one of
Germany's market leaders in housing privatisation, recorded EUR 19.35

financial year of six months, which is five times the EBIT of EUR 3.8

coincides with the calendar year.

ACCENTRO thus accomplished a significant turnaround in the course of the
short financial year, which is remarkable insofar as the previous financial
year of 2013/2014 had still been concluded at a loss that was essentially
caused by tax effects in connection with the company's takeover by ADLER
Real Estate AG.

Focus on Residential Real Estate
"Behind us lies a time of very hard work," said Jacopo Mingazzini, who took
over the job of representing the company as its sole Board Member on 01
September 2014. "The effort is now paying off in two ways: The pinpoint
changes to the portfolio have brought us a big step closer to our target
structure, and helped us achieve a robust result."

An important prerequisite was the acquisition of 4,300 residential units in
October 2014, which represented the largest portfolio acquisition in the
history of ACCENTRO AG. Around 900 residential units out of this portfolio
are earmarked for privatisation, whereas around 3,400 are intended for
long-term ownership by the ADLER Group. In conjunction with the
