MBA (HSG), CIIA Dipl.-Kfm. Stefan Scharff, CREA gorlt@src-research.de scharff@src-research.de More than 50% upside potential after the merger The Austrian real estate company UBM is in the act of doing the next step in its more than 140 years lasted history. Due to the projected merger of former UMB Realitäten AG with PIAG, which is being used as a spin-off vehicle to separate PORR`s non-core real estate development activities from PORR s construction business in order to create two pure play and separately listed companies. Besides that, PIAG also holds PORR`s majority stake of former UBM. Therefore, consist of the former UBM Realitäten AG and the assets from PIAG, former pooled in PORR`s subsidiary Strauss & Partner (S&P). As a consequence of the merger will act with its new strategy as a pure real estate development company. The firm`s geographical focus is on Austria, Germany and Poland besides a strong concentration to only three business segments (residential, hotel and office). Due to the new strategy, management follows an asset light approach with stronger local operating partner structures. Furthermore, the company decided to sell the bulk of its portfolio which should boost profits and may potentially unlock significant amounts of hidden reserves. A main objective of the new company s strategy is to reduce net debt as well as total assets in order to increase its equity ratio and to improve liquidity ratios. UBM Development appointed a highly experienced management board. Since the start of the disposal program in 4Q 2014 the firm already achieved Euro 72m net cash. On Tuesday, the company reported some 2014 key figures. For 2014 without consideration of the projected merger UBM reported sales revenues of Euro 224m, an operating profit (EBIT) of Euro 37m and a net profit of Euro 22m. Due to the already started asset sale the firm offered pro-forma figures that gave a clear indication of the company`s future profit potential. Prior to the release of the 2014 annual report in the next week on 14 April, we release our new research update with a forecast for the merged new UBM P & L up to the year 2018e. We derive a new fair value of the new and bigger UBM Development AG from our updated DCF model with undemanding assumptions. We come up with a fair value of Euro 63 per UBM share which should allow for a decent share price development. As announced on Tuesday, the company will pay out a Euro 1.25 dividend for 2014 which translates into a favorable 3.1% dividend yield. Furthermore, in our view, the PE ratio should significantly come down from 11.2x for 2014 to only 5.0x in the current FY We give a Buy recommendation for the new.

2 UBM Development Industry: Real Estate Development Management Board of UBM Sub segment: Resi, Office, Hotels etc. CEO Mag. Karl Bier Country: Austria CFO Heribert Smolé Headquarter: Vienna Dipl. Ing. Martin Löcker (COO) Foundation: 1873 Dipl. Ing. Claus Stadler (designated COO) Employees (2013): 509 Mag. Michael Wurzinger, MRICS (COO) Supervisory Board of UBM Ing. Karl Heinz Strauss (Chairman) IR Contact DI Iris Ortner (Dep. Chairwoman) Dr. Julia Kozielski MMag. Christian Maier Dr. Bernhard Vanas (Mail: DI Klaus Ortner Dr. Susanne Weiss Phone: +43 (0) Dr. Ludwig Steinbauer Mag. Paul Unterluggauer Founded in 1873 as "Union-Baumaterialien-Gesellschaft" the company has now an outstanding history of more than 140 years. Keep in mind, that since 1873, the firm is also listed on the Viennese stock market and thus is the oldest Austrian real estate company. After the initial focus was on the renting of construction equipment, the firm made a significant step ahead since the early Nineties where the firm started to initiate many new development projects after a 50% increase of share capital in In 1992 Karl Bier entered the UBM Board of Directors and the firm started to develop numerous lucrative projects in Eastern Europe, in particular in Poland and Czech Republic. Between 2001 and 2010 UBM entered some opportunistic marktes like France and the Netherlands with hotels. In 2014 PORR, the Vienna-based construction and development conglomerate decided to seperate its non-core real estate development activities from its construction activities with the destination to create two pure play entities and seperately listed companies. In this spirit, PIAG is being used as a spin-off vehicle which holds PORR`s non-core realestate development activities as well as PORR`s share in UBM. In a second step UBM Realitäten AG is merged with PIAG and Strauss & Partner (S&P) to UBM Development AG, which will act in the future as a pure-play trade developer. As a consequence of the intended portfolio reduction in 2015 and 2016, the firm will focus on home markets like Austria, Germany and Poland. In addition, the company will mostly act in only three asset classses like residential, hotel and office. UBM Deveopment has the clear target to realize further synergies of the merger and is willing to optimize its balance sheet structure and in particular to reduce its net debt. In our projection revenues in 2015 will boost to about Euro 600m and operating profit will rush over Euro 80m. Due to the new strategy and the disposal of the portfolio, we strongly believe that the firm will manage this transformation process to a pure trade developer of European scale. With a good pipeline of new development projects in Germany and other countries worth Euro 1.5bn, we expect UBM Development will continue its successful story.

3 SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats UBM is a strong brand in the European real estate development business. The company is very flexible and has a high local knowledge of all its markets to shift the focus of activities to the most promising regional markets and asset classes (from residential to office or retail and also to hotels or complete urban district developments) where it finds the best opportunities to deliver a significant added value and may unlock high development margins. As the German residential market gained a very strong momentum in the last 3 or 4 years, UBM quickly started to boost the business with its German development subsidiary Münchner Grund AG. The firm has a good pipeline of lucrative developments in stable European economies like Austria, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and other markets to come the next two years that will help to even further lift the group s output and profit. Due to the new strategy, UBM Development has a large portfolio of about Euro 800m, which might help for more lucrative asset sales to come to the next months. As a consequence of the upcoming portfolio disposal in 2015 and 2016 we strongly believe that the company will manage to decrease its net debt and improve its liquidity ratios as well as its operating profit. In addition, we expect further improvement in equity ratio and lower volume of total liabilities. The price-to-book ratio is only little above 0.8 at the moment. Thus, in our view the UBM share price is relatively protected against set-backs. The good and probably rising dividend yield of 3.1% is also an argument. The firm has made a shift to a pure play trade developer with a strong focus on only three markets (Austria, Germany and Poland) as well as three segments. Due to the change of the business model and the shift from asset management the firm`s future profits could be more volatile especially at awkward market conditions. Currently the stock dispose of a relatively low trading volume and the company has a significant amount of debt. Significant upside for the share could come from a higher free float of UBM Development shares. In addition, we strongly believe that the new dividend policy with a payout ratio of 30%-50% will be very attractive for private and institutional investors. Due to the new firm`s strategy to act as a pure play developer of European scale with asset light approach, management should be able to lift synergies and may potentially unlock significant amounts of hidden reserves which should lead in higher profitability, lower net debt and a better balance sheet structure. Company already achieved Euro 72m net cash since program start in Q4/2014. The economic situation might remain shaky in some Eastern European countries, which have to struggle with only little or even no growth. A strong and abrupt decline in investors demand and/or a sharp decline in prices could lead to lower disposals until SRC Equity Research

4 New company strategy will lay the basis for profit boost and better balance sheet ratios in the future The two-step process from former UBM via PIAG and S&P to UBM Development AG ( UBM Development in the following) is the result of a merger of PIAG and the fromer UMB Realitäten AG. All in all the whole transaction was made in a two-step process. In the fist step, in which PIAG was used as a spin-off vehicle to separate PORR`s non-core real estate development activities (former pooled in PORR`s subsidiary Strauss & Partner) from PORR`s construction business in order to create two pure play and seperately listed companies. In addition, PIAG also holds PORR`s majority stake in UBM. In the second step, PIAG was merged with the current UBM (UBM Realitäten AG) to. The planned spin-off received 100% approval at PORR`s EGM in October Two months later in December 2014 PIAG was spunoff and each PORR-shareholder received one PIAG share for each PORR share held. The EGM of PIAG and UBM Realitäten AG already decided on the merger of both companies to. Source: Company Data The management board of consists of five highly experienced members In January 2015 the management board which consists of five highly experienced members was formed for. Besides Karl Bier (CEO), Heribert Smolé (CFO) and Martin Löcker (COO), Claus Stadler (designated) and Michael Wurzinger (Executive Director of Asset Management & Transactions) were also appointed. Karl-Heinz Strauss is chairman of the supervisory board and Iris Ortner is deputy woman of the UBM Development supervisory board. The PIAG Spin-off was realized in December 2014 in which each PORR- shareholder received one PIAG Share for each PORR share held. UBM Realitäten AG, set to be renamed in May 2015, will publish its final figures for the financial year 2014 on 14 April SRC Equity Research

5 The modified business model and the new strategy of UBM Development AG The new strategy and the adapted business model will boost profits and improve proportions of the balance sheet. Clear focus on growth markets and three asset classes The former UBM Realitäten AG held a lage portfolio and acted also as a real estate development company. As a result of the merger, UBM Development which has a highly experienced management team will make a strategic shift from asset management to a pure play trade developer. As a consequence of the new strategy and the attractive market situation in some markets and segments, UBM Development is going to sell a large stake of its portfolio in the upcoming quarters. This will lead to increased capacity of project development resources. In addition, the lean company structure of UBM Development should lead to improved profitability and due to a stronger capital market focus to a more attractive dividend policy for shareholders. Concerning the new strategy, UMB Development will focus on three growth markets (Austria, Germany and Poland) and only three asset classes (residential, office and hotel). In addition the firm follows an asset light approach which means that the company will operate in partner structures with local companies to reduce its risk. Source: Company Data, SRC Research Concerning its geographical focus, UBM Development targeting European metropolitan regions with high growth potential. Besides the top cities in Germany like Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Cologne and Düsseldorf the firm tries to realize attractive projects in booming cities like Vienna, Warsaw and Krakow. The new strategy will induce significant changes in P&L and balance sheet As a result of the above mentioned strategy, we expect that the firm s balance sheet as well as the profit and loss statement (P&L) will change significantly in the following years. Due to the merger, we expect for 2015 a boost in revenues of more than 169% (yoy) to Euro 602m mainly driven by disposals of the portfolio. Operating profit (EBIT) should rush to Euro 81m as well as net profit to about Euro 50m. Besides the improvements in the P&L we also expect in 2015 dramatic changes in the balance sheet with a strong hike in total assets as well as total liabilities. 5 5 SRC Equity Research

Despite the above mentioned changes, we have to keep in mind, that our estimate of the full year figures for 2014 does not represent a combination of the merged companies with the old business model. Furthermore, we expect for 2014 a dividend of Euro 1,25 per share (2013: Euro 0,62 per share) which represents an increase of the payout ratio to about 37%. Concerning the payout-ratio, UBM Development`s guidance is between 30%- 50% for the following years. Besides the strong capital market focus UBM Development made a clear commitment to a more active investor relations approach and plans a capital increase in 2015 to enable further growth as well as strengthen equity ratio and increase free float. However, in our point of view the key point of the new strategy of UBM Development is the clear focus to become a pure play developer and the projected reduction of the portfolio in order to reduce its net debt. Therefore, we believe the best is yet to come. Our assumptions for changes in balance sheet and P&L statement for the following years up to 2015 Due to the shift towards the modified business model and the new strategy we expect extensive changes in balance sheet and profit and loss statement for UBM Development. In the following table we highlighted some key figures of our assumptions in the P&L statement 2015 to P&L 31/12 IFRS (Euro '000 except for per share-data) 2014e* 2015e 2016e 2017e 2018e CAGR '14 - '17e Sales revenues 223, , , , , % Activated work for own account Result from associated companies 14,781 14,600 12,455 11,879 12,100 Other operating income 4,141 7,200 7,100 6,500 5,500 Material expenses and other services -142, , , , ,545 Personnel expenses -20,981-37,500-38,874-40,008-41,455 Amortisation and depreciation on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment -2,300-8,800-8,604-8,750-8,710 Other operating expenses -39,857-66,100-72,997-75,652-78,150 Operating profit (EBIT) 36,600 80,800 85,639 93,833 96, % * with reported figures of UBM Realitäten AG Source: Company Data, SRC Research 6 6 SRC Equity Research

7 Portfolio disposals should boost sales revenues and profits... As a consequence of the merger and the projected reduction of the portfolio, company s sales revenues should boost to a level of about Euro 600m in Due to the favourable market situation and the ongoing strong demand in high class real estates we expect in our model that the firm is able realize the bulk of the disposals until end But we have to keep in mind that the company will also realize sales revenues by the ongoing development business. With regards to operating profit (EBIT), we anticipate the major impact of the portfolio reduction. Due to profits in the upcoming years we believe that the firm will increase step by step its total equity and should not have any problem in the following years to boost its payout ratio from about 30% (2013) to the announced range of 40% to 50%. In respect to the current share price we see further upside potential for the stock price due to the level of the book value per share.

What the company s balance sheet is concerned, we believe that we probably see even stronger effects of the new strategy. As a consequence of the portfolio disposals we assume that financial real estate assets will constantly shrink, while on the other side trade receivables as well as liquid assets should increase but in a much lower extent. Hence, total assets should decrease in the future. Furthermore, we expect a shift from non-current assets to a higher proportion of current assets that also should have a positive impact on net debt. Therefore, the company s liquidity ratios like cash ratio, quick ratio or current ratio should continuously improve in the upcoming years. As a consequence of the strong increase in operating profit and EBITDA UBM Development should be able to damp the important net-debt/ EBITDA ratio significantly.

8 Net debt and liquidity ratios will improve significantly. As mentioned above, one of the main targets of the new company s strategy is to improve net debt and the proportions of the balance sheet. While we already talked about our assumptions on the asset side, improved earnings will also influence total equity in a positive direction and lift up equity ratio. Secondly, we assume that UBM Development will use the bulk of the realized cash from disposals to reduce its liabilities to become a more attractive investment for shareholders. As a result of reduced liabilities and slightly increased current assts net debt should shrink in the following years and due to the lower total assets equity ratio will get up.

10 DCF model shows significant undervaluation Free cash flow potential of Euro 24m to 74m for the coming years Fair value of Euro per share in our DCF Conservative assumptions leave room for further upside in stock valuation High cash income (3.1% dividend yield) for 2014 despite relatively moderate payout ratio In our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation of the UBM Development share, we estimated the long-term operating cash flow strength of the company by adjusting our forecasted EBIT-figures for non-cash effects like amortization and deducted both taxes as well as the net financing costs. We came up with a sustainable cash flow potential of between Euro 24m to Euro 74m for the coming years which is mainly driven by the new strategy and the disposal of the portfolio in the upcoming six to eight quarters. Discounted and adjusted by cash and outstanding liabilities, we computed a fair equity value of Euro 380m, implying a fair value of Euro per share. Our model assumptions were rather conservative: with a risk free interest rate of 1.0% and average cost of liabilities of 5.5% we calculated a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 6.9%. However, due to the modified business model towards a pure play trade developer we think a Beta of 1.35 is more appropriate and reflects the slightly higher risks of that business model for the future. As UBM Development has a shareholder structure with a free float of about 41%, we expect sufficient liquidity in the stock. Our DCF with undemanding assumptions results in a conservative target price of Euro 65 per share. This target would still imply a large upside of about 63% at current price of approx. Euro 40 per UBM Development share. Taking into account that book value per share for 2015e is at c. Euro 47, this target price does not seem to be too ambitious. Moreover, the current market valuation of UBM does not reflect its upcoming earnings power in our view. At an EPS (2014) of Euro 3.57, the share is trading at 11.2 times its net profit. Based on our EPS (2015e) assumption of Euro 8.03, the share is trading at 5.0 times of its net profit. In addition, a current dividend yield of 3.1% (2014) at a moderate payout ratio of about 37% provides an attractive mix of capital appreciation and cash income for investors.
