4 4 PSP Swiss Property Short report Q Q report Substantial renovations, conversions and redevelopments are crucial success factors that s part of our strategy. Business development In Q1 2018, we integrated the property portfolio purchased from Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) S.A. consisting of nine high-quality office buildings. Furthermore, we completed the new construction Grosspeter Tower in Basel. It has become one of the city s most distinctive buildings with a hotel and state-of-the-art offices. Recently, this highrise tower won the renowned Swiss Solar Award. Letting activities remained at the top of our agenda, especially the pro-active management of leases that are due for extension. Overall, we are very satisfied with the rental success, in particular considering the standing of our new tenants. For example, we signed a long-term lease agreement with No18 (premium brand of International Workplace Group, IWG) for our property opposite Zurich s main train station at Bahnhofplatz 1, Bahnhofquai 9/11/15, which is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation. As from the end of 2019, No18 will rent around m 2 to be used as premium co-working office space and lounges. The entire building complex will become very attractive due to the ongoing renovations and the prominent new tenants (which will also include Ruby Hotels & Resorts on the Beatenplatz side as from early 2021). IWG, which is already a tenant at a number of our properties, will also move into Richtipark in Wallisellen with its Regus brand from mid-2018, offering its clients a state-of-the-art business centre with flexible office solutions. Westhive, another provider of co-working space, has moved into our property at Hardturmstrasse 161 / Förrlibuckstrasse 150 in Zurich-West, providing space mainly for start-ups as well as marketing and tech companies. We are pleased with our operating results in Q1 2018: the net income (excluding changes in fair value) of CHF 43.2 million represents an increase of CHF 3.5 million or 8.7 % compared to the previous year s period (Q1 2017: CHF 39.7 million). With total equity of CHF billion (end of 2017: CHF billion) corresponding to an equity ratio of 54.0 % (end of 2017: 54.0 %) the capital base remained strong. In the current market environment, substantial renovations, conversions and redevelopments are crucial success factors. Our goal is to grow organically by optimising the existing property portfolio according to tenants changing requirements with regard to sustainability, quality and flexibility of the office space. For our sites and development properties, we have budgeted CHF 331 million in the coming years. On top of that, investments totalling approximately CHF 60 million are earmarked for individual properties in our investment portfolio in Property market Investment market On the investment market for office properties, prices seem to be stabilising at a high level. Demand remains strong, especially for high-quality objects in business centres. Given the already low yields, the average initial yield decline on the transaction market slowed down. Letting market In the economic regions of Zurich, Geneva and Basel, the supply of available office space has stabilised. The situation varies, however, from subsegment to subsegment. Everywhere, renting

5 PSP Swiss Property Short report Q remains a challenge. In peripheral areas (both with regard to geography and business activity), reducing vacancies will be especially lengthy and arduous, particularly in those regions where new construction projects will further increase supply. In Zurich s Central Business District and in trendy Zurich-West, demand for modern office space is increasingly picking up. The situation is more difficult in Zurich-North. There, building activity continues and vacancies keep rising accordingly. In Geneva, certain market segments suffer from relatively high vacancy rates; in addition, a number of new developments will come on the market in the coming years, which will put even more pressure on older office properties in less attractive locations. In Basel, the supply of available office space decreased slightly, while an increasing number of modern new constructions will come on the market soon; however, this additional space may be absorbed relatively easily from today s perspective. In the retail sector, times remain particularly difficult for objects in peripheral regions as well as traditional shopping centres. Online business and exchange rate being the main influencing factors. The recent weakening of the Swiss franc is expected to relieve some of this pressure. Premium shops in good locations ( high street retail ) are much less affected by the internet trade and keep a solid position. Most of our retail properties are in such excellent locations. Market outlook The forecasts for Switzerland s economy are promising. We expect that the predicted economic expansion will have a positive impact on the demand for office space, at least in central locations. In the Zurich area, which is particularly important for us, the bright economic prospects should especially benefit employment in the office sector, which should result in additional demand for office space. The greatest growth rates are likely to occur in the Central Business District and in Zurich-West two of our geographical focus areas. The outlook for retail space in central locations is also significantly better than for objects on the periphery. With regard to the investment market, demand for investments in prime commercial properties will hardly diminish in 2018 due to the continuing low-interest-rate environment. Portfolio At the end of March 2018, our real estate portfolio included 167 office and commercial properties. In addition, there were eleven sites and development properties. The carrying value of the total portfolio was CHF 7.3 billion. Investment properties As per 1 February 2018, we purchased a prime property portfolio consisting of nine representative office buildings from Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) S.A. All properties are centrally located and perfectly maintained. Strategically, this acquisition fits perfectly into our existing portfolio and strengthens our position particularly in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. We completed the Grosspeter Tower in Basel and reclassified it into the investment portfolio. We are also actively streamlining our portfolio. In December 2017, we signed a sales agreement for the property located at Av. des Morgines 8/10 in Petit-Lancy. The execution is conditional upon the buyer s pending satisfactory confirmation relating to the so-called Lex Koller (the federal law on the acquisition of real estate in Switzerland by non-residents). Furthermore, sales negotiations are under way for the properties at Bernerstrasse Süd 167/169 in Zurich and Route des Arsenaux 41 in Fribourg.

6 6 PSP Swiss Property Short report Q Vacancy development At the end of March 2018, the vacancy rate stood at 8.5 % (end of 2017: 8.2 %). The slight rise is due to the completion and reclassification of the new construction Grosspeter Tower in Basel (vacancy rate end of Q1 2018: 68.4 %). As of May 2018, the lease with the anchor tenant Bayer started, leading to a reduction of the vacancy rate in this building to around 30 %. A further reduction of this figure is expected in the next months. 1.0 percentage points of all vacancies are due to ongoing renovations. Of the lease contracts maturing in 2018 (CHF 29.1 million), 64 % were renewed respectively extended at the end of March Due to our successful lease management activities, we now expect a vacancy rate of around 7.5 % at year-end 2018 (previous guidance: 8.5 %). Sites and development properties The ongoing work at several projects proceeded as planned during the reporting period. For information on the current projects see page 8. Consolidated quarterly results (January to March 2018) Due to the initial application of IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the previous year s period Q and FY 2017 were restated. Revenues relating to condominium sales are now recorded using the so-called percentage-of-completion-method. The application of IFRS 15 did not have any material impact on Q resp. FY In the reporting period, we achieved a net income (excluding gains/losses on real estate investments) 1 of CHF 43.2 million (Q1 2017: CHF 39.7 million). The increase by 8.7 % resulted mainly from a rise in capitalised own services related to the portfolio purchase (Edmond de Rothschild) and higher other income (totalling CHF 2.9 million) as well as a decline in financial expenses by CHF 0.6 million. Rental income rose by CHF 0.7 million to CHF 69.1 million (Q1 2017: CHF 68.4 million). Earnings per share (excluding gains/losses on real estate investments), which is the basis for the dividend distribution, amounted to CHF 0.94 (Q1 2017: CHF 0.87). Operating expenses increased by CHF 0.2 million to CHF 13.8 million (Q1 2017: CHF 13.6 million). Financial expenses declined by the above-mentioned CHF 0.6 million to CHF 6.0 million (Q1 2017: CHF 6.6 million). Net income (including gains/losses on real estate investments) reached CHF 40.3 million (Q1 2017: CHF 39.7 million). The initial valuation of the purchased portfolio resulted in a valuation loss of CHF 3.9 million. Furthermore, tax expenses increased by CHF 0.2 million to CHF 10.3 million (Q1 2017: CHF 10.0 million). Earnings per share (including gains/losses on real estate investments) amounted to CHF 0.88 (Q1 2017: CHF 0.87). At the end of March 2018, net asset value (NAV) per share was CHF (end of 2017: CHF 86.96). NAV before deducting deferred taxes amounted to CHF (end of 2017: CHF ). Capital management With total equity of CHF billion (end of 2017: CHF billion) corresponding to an equity ratio of 54.0 % (end of 2017: 54.0 %) the capital base remained strong at the end of March Interest-bearing debt amounted to CHF billion, corresponding to 33.9 % of total assets (end of 2017: CHF billion respectively 33.7 %). Excluding debt capital invested as fixedterm deposit totalling CHF 125 million, the debt ratio was 32.8 %. At the end of March 2018, we had unused committed credit lines of CHF 910 million. At the end of March 2018, the passing average interest rate was 0.97 % (end of 2017: 0.99 %). The average fixed-interest period was 3.7 years (end of 2017: 3.6 years). 1 Net income excluding gains/losses on real estate investments corresponds to the consolidated net income excluding net changes in fair value of the real estate investments, realised income on sales of investment properties and all of the related taxes. Income from the sale of properties which were developed by the Company itself is, however, included in the Net income excluding gains/losses on real estate investments.

7 PSP Swiss Property Short report Q PSP Swiss Property has ratings from two international rating agencies: a Senior Unsecured Rating A- (outlook stable) from Fitch and an A3 Issuer Rating (outlook stable) from Moody s. Subsequent events The ordinary Annual General Meeting on 5 April 2018 approved all proposals of the Board of Directors. Among other resolutions, the payment of an ordinary dividend of CHF 3.40 per share for the 2017 business year was approved (previous year: CHF 3.35 per share). The payout totalling CHF million was made on 11 April Luciano Gabriel was re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors (one-year term of office). All remaining six current members of the Board of Directors were also re-elected (one-year terms of office). Ernst & Young AG, Zurich, was re-elected as Statutory Auditors for the 2018 business year. Proxy Voting Services GmbH, Zurich, was re-elected as independent shareholder representative (oneyear term of office). The Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee consist of Peter Forstmoser (Chairman), Adrian Dudle, Nathan Hetz and Josef Stadler. The Nomination Committee consists of Josef Stadler (Chairman), Corinne Denzler and Adrian Dudle. Outlook We have a clear focus for 2018: modernisations of individual investment properties, further development of our projects as well as reinforced letting activities resp. vacancy reduction. Acquisitions in our strategic investment areas only are aimed for in case of potential added value in the long-term. In financing, we will continue to pursue our proven conservative approach. And, as in the past, we will consider tapping the debt capital market if required. For the 2018 business year, we still expect an ebitda (excluding gains/losses on real estate investments) of more than CHF 235 million (2017: CHF million). While rental income is likely to increase by around CHF 8 million, income from condominium sales will fall. The predicted decline in ebitda therefore mainly reflects the lower expected income from condominium sales. With regard to the vacancies, we now expect a rate of around 7.5 % at year-end 2018 (previous guidance: 8.5 %; end of March 2018: 8.5 %). There were no further material subsequent events.
