PREOS Global Office Real Estate & Technology AG expected to post high loss in 2022
- Adjustment of carrying amounts of around EUR 211 million

Frankfurt am Main, July 24, 2023 - PREOS Global Office Real Estate & Technology AG ("PREOS", ISIN DE000A2LQ850) publishes key data according to HGB accounting for the financial year 2022 after a comprehensive coordination with the auditors. Accordingly, comprehensive adjustments of the valuations of Alpha Investor GmbH as well as the investment in GORE German Office Real Estate AG ("GORE") in the total amount of approximately EUR 211 million have to be made. The write-downs at Alpha Investor GmbH are mainly the result of the weak state of the German real estate market and the associated corrections to the appraised values of corresponding individual properties. The value adjustments for the investment in GORE are the result of the non-executed capital increase in kind at the company. Overall, the Management Board of PREOS assumes that, due to the aforementioned - predominantly non-cash effects - PREOS will incur a net loss of around EUR 214 million for the financial year 2022. Accordingly, the balance sheet equity of the AG is expected to decrease from EUR 418.0 million as of December 31, 2021 to EUR 204 million as of December 31, 2022. This is expected to correspond to an equity ratio of around 43 percent. PREOS expects to have audited financial statements available by the end of this week. The company is also currently exploring measures to significantly reduce ongoing costs in various areas in the coming quarters. Against this backdrop, the Management Board also considers it necessary to reduce current financing costs.
