1. Interim Report H1 2014
Letter from the
Executive Board
Dear Shareholders, Dear Readers,
We are delighted to be able to report that the first half of 2014 went
well and according to plan for Deutsche EuroShop.
We generated revenue of €99.7 million compared to the previous
year’s figure of €88.8 million. Net operating income (NOI) climbed by
13% to €t90.5 million, while earnings before interest and tax (EBIT),
at €88.3 million, were 14% higher than the figure in the same period
in 2013 (€77.2 million). The considerable increases can largely be
attributed to the Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden, which has been fully
consolidated since 1 May 2013.
Consolidated profit experienced an increase year-on-year of just
around 23% to €46.3 million. This pushed earnings per share up to
€0.86; and EPRA earnings per share adjusted for valuation effects
were 19% higher at €0.91. Funds from operations (FFO) improved by
16% from €0.94 to €1.09 per share.
Plus there is another piece of good news regarding the shopping
center portfolio: The building permit for the expansion of the Phoe-
nix-Center in Hamburg has been issued. We aim to reach a realisa-
tion decision with our co-shareholders by the end of August. Work
on the expansion, which would cost a total of around €25 million, is
then scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. According to plans,
17-20 new shops will move into an area covering around 5,000 m².
We expect the expansion to be completed for autumn 2015.
We paid a dividend of €67.4 million or €1.25 per share in June for the
2013 financial year. After the first six months of the year have gone
according to plan, we confirm our forecast for the year as a whole.
We plan to pay a dividend of €1.30 per share for the 2014 financial
year, another 5 cents higher than the previous year.

management system
The Executive Board of Deutsche EuroShop manages the Company
in accordance with the provisions of German company law. The

are laid down in its rules of procedure and in its schedule of respon-
sibilities.
The management indicators are based on the targets of having
shopping centers with sustainable and stable value growth and a
high liquidity surplus generated by long-term leases. These indica-
tors are revenue, EBT (earnings before taxes) excluding valuation
gains/losses and FFO (funds from operations).
Economic Review
macroeconomic anD Sector-SPeciFic
conDitionS
Germany continued to be Europe’s economic dynamo. The German
economy grew by 0.8% in the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to
a good investment ratio. The companies largely rate their business
situation as positive and benefit from continued stability in terms of
domestic demand, not least as a result of pleasing salary develop-
ments and low interest rates on investments. Retail sales grew in
real terms by 1.5% in the first six months of the year. Unemployment
levelled off at a relatively low level of 6.5%. The mild winter brought
less pronounced growth in unemployment figures at the beginning
of the year and this increase was also reduced again sooner and at
an even faster rate. 2.83 million people were registered as unem-
ployed in June.
All in all, last year’s positive showing appears to be persisting. Ten-
sion in the Middle East and Ukraine, however, could cause economic
developments to deteriorate.
Basic Information about
the Group
grouP Structure anD oPerating actiVitieS
business model
Deutsche EuroShop AG is the only public company in Germany to
invest solely in shopping centers in prime locations. On 30 June
2014, the Company held investments in 19 shopping centers in Ger-
many, Austria, Poland and Hungary. The Group generates its
reported revenue from rental income on the space which it lets in
the shopping centers.
Due to its lean personnel structure, Deutsche EuroShop Group is
centrally organised. The parent company, Deutsche EuroShop AG, is
responsible for corporate strategy, portfolio and risk management,
financing and communication.
The Company’s registered office is in Hamburg. Deutsche EuroShop
is an Aktiengesellschaft (public company) under German law. The
individual shopping centers are managed as separate companies
and, depending on the share of nominal capital owned, are either
fully consolidated or accounted for using the equity method.
The share capital amounts to €53,945,536 and comprises 53,945,536
no-par value registered shares. The notional value of each share
is €1.00.
objectives and strategy
The management focuses on investments in high-quality shopping
centers in city centers and established locations offering stable
long-term value growth. Another key investment target is the gen-
eration of high surplus liquidity from long-term leases in shopping
centers, which is paid out to shareholders in the form of an annual
dividend. In order to achieve these targets, the Company invests its
capital in shopping centers in different European regions in accord-
ance with the principle of risk diversification. Germany is the main
focus for investment. Indexed and turnover-linked commercial rent
ensure that we achieve our high earnings targets.
The Company may invest up to 10% of equity in joint ventures in
shopping center projects in the early stages of development.
New investments should be financed through a balanced mix of
equity and borrowing, whereby external financing may not exceed
55% of the Group’s total assets over the long term. As a general rule,
long-term interest rates are fixed when loans are taken out or
renewed with the goal of keeping the duration (average fixed interest
period) at over five years.

Results of operations
Revenue increased by 12%
Revenue during the first half of the year came in at €99.7 million.
This is more than 12% higher than in the same period of the previous
year (€88.8 million) and can largely be attributed to the Altmarkt-
Galerie in Dresden, which has been fully consolidated since 1 May
2013. Revenue from our shopping center portfolio rose accordingly
by 2.7% year-on-year.
Operating and administrative costs for property:
9.2% of revenue
Center operating costs were €9.2 million in the reporting period,
compared with €8.7 million in the same period of the previous year.
Costs therefore stood at 9.2% of revenue (previous year: 9.7 %).
Other operating expenses of €2.9 million
Other operating expenses of €2.9 million were slightly below those
of the previous year (€3.5 million), as one-off costs were incurred in
the previous year in connection with the withdrawal from DB Immo-
bilienfonds.
EBIT up 14%
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by around 14%
or €77.2 million, from €11.1 million to €88.3 million.
Net finance costs nearly unchanged
At €-28.0 million, net finance costs were just slightly lower than in
the previous year (€-27.7 million), which can largely be attributed to
the effects of first-time consolidation of the Altmarkt-Galerie in
Dresden on 1 May 2013. As a result, interest expense during the first
half of 2014 was nearly €2.0 million over the previous year and the
profit share of consolidated companies accounted for using the
equity method fell €2.0 million short of the previous year’s figure.
On the other hand, other financial expenses were down €4.1 million
due to a swap for an Altmarkt-Galerie loan which was recognised in
income. Moreover, the profit share for third-party shareholders rose
by €0.4 million from €7.8 million to €8.2 million.
Valuation gains / losses
Valuation losses were €2.9 million (previous year: €-3.1 million) and
included investment costs for the existing properties in our portfolio.
Adjusted EBT excluding valuation gains / losses
up 19%
Earnings before taxes (EBT) climbed €11.0 million, from €46.4 mil-
lion to €57.4 million. After adjustment for valuation gains, this
amount rose from €50.9 million to €60.6 million (+19%).

positive growth for Germany in 2014, although economic imbalances
are expected to persist within the eurozone. Gross domestic product
(GDP) is forecast to grow by 1.8%. Growth is likely to be driven by
sustained strong domestic demand and a sharp rise in exports. The
unemployment rate is set to remain at the current level, while infla-
tion will be modest. The labour force participation rate could rise
slightly again – to 42.1 million people in employment – and salaries
may increase slightly. The German Retail Federation (HDE) predicts
that retail sales will advance by 1.1%.
In light of this, we expect Deutsche EuroShop’s business to once
again perform positively and according to plan this year.
Expected results of operations and
financial position
After the first half of the year was on track, we stand by our forecasts
for financial year 2014 and expect:
• revenue of between €198 million and €201 million
• earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of between €174 mil-
lion and €177 million
• earnings before taxes (EBT) excluding valuation gains / losses of
between €120 million and €123 million
• funds from operations (FFO) per share of between €2.14 and
€2.18
Dividend policy
We intend to maintain our long-term, reliable dividend policy and
anticipate that we will be able to pay a dividend of €1.30 per share to
our shareholders for 2014.
Financial position and net assets
Net assets and liquidity
The Deutsche EuroShop Group’s total assets decreased by €10.2 mil-
lion compared with the year-end figure in 2013 to €3,384.7 million.
Whereas non-current assets have decreased by €32.8 million and
other current assets by €5.5 million, cash and cash equivalents have
risen €31.0 million to €71.8 million since 31 December 2013
(€40.8 million).
Equity ratio of 47.7%
The equity ratio (including the shares of third-party shareholders)
was 47.7%, 0.7 percentage points lower than on the last balance
sheet date (48.4%) as a result of the dividend payment made in June.
Liabilities
As at 30 June 2014, current and non-current financial liabilities
stood at €1,498.0 million on the balance sheet date and were thus
€11.3 million higher than at the end of 2013. Non-current deferred
tax liabilities increased by €5.9 million to €204.4 million due to addi-
tional provisions. Redemption entitlements for third-party share-
holders, on the other hand, fell by around €0.1 million. Other current
and non-current liabilities and provisions were increased by
€1.7 million.
Report on Events after
the Balance Sheet Date
No further significant events occurred between the balance sheet
date of 30 June 2014 and the date of preparation of the financial
statements.
Risk Report
There have been no significant changes since the beginning of the
financial year with regard to the risks associated with future busi-
ness development. We do not believe the Company faces any risks
capable of jeopardising its continued existence. The information
provided in the risk report of the consolidated financial statements
as at 31 December 2013 is therefore still applicable.

Reporting principles
These interim financial statements of the Deutsche EuroShop Group
as at 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with Interna-
tional Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The management report and the abridged financial statements were
not audited in accordance with section 317 of the Handelsgesetz-
buch (HGB – German Commercial Code), nor were they reviewed by
a person qualified to carry out audits. In the opinion of the Executive
Board, the report contains all of the necessary adjustments required
to give a true and fair view of the results of operations as at the date
of the interim report. The performance of the first six months up to
30 June 2014 is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
The accounting policies applied correspond to those used in the last
consolidated financial statements as at the end of the financial year.
A detailed description of the methods applied was published in the
notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2013.
Adjustment in accordance with IAS 8 (change to
previous year’s figures as of 30 June 2013)
With effect from 30 April 2013, Deutsche EuroShop AG increased its
shareholding in Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden from 67% to 100%. Since
the first-time consolidation produced effects which had an impact
on net finance costs and valuation gains / losses, these were
reported differently in the financial statements for the same period
of the previous year.
The purchase of these shares made it necessary to recognise in
income the negative present value of an interest rate hedge (swap)
in the amount of €6.8 million. The change in value between 30 April
and 30 June 2013 amounted to €+1.7 million with the result that other
financial expenses in the amount of €5.1 million and their corre-
sponding tax effects will be recognised in the income statement
from this point on. Furthermore, this transaction did not result in any
excess of identified net assets acquired over cost of acquisition in
accordance with IFRS 3. The amount originally recognised (€0.6 mil-
lion) was removed from the valuation gains and losses.

Responsibility statement by the Executive Board
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable
reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim con-
solidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group, and the
interim management report of the Group includes a fair review of
the development and performance of the business and the position
of the Group, together with a description of the principal opportuni-
ties and risks associated with the expected development of the
Group for the remainder of the financial year.

SEGMENT REPORTING
As a holding company, Deutsche EuroShop AG holds equity interests
in shopping centers in the European Union. The investees are pure
real-estate shelf companies without staff of their own. Operational
management is contracted out to external service providers under
agency agreements, with the result that the companies’ activities
are exclusively restricted to asset management. The companies are
operated individually.
Due to the Company’s uniform business activities within a relatively
homogeneous region (the European Union), and in accordance with
IFRS 8.12, separate segment reporting is presented in the form of a
breakdown by domestic and international results.
As the Group’s main decision-making body, the Deutsche EuroShop
AG Executive Board largely assesses the performance of the seg-
ments based on the EBT of the individual property companies. The
valuation principles for the segment reporting correspond to those
of the Group.
Intra-Group activities between the segments are eliminated in the
reconciliation statement.
In view of the geographical segmentation, no further information
pursuant to IFRS 8.33 is given.

roadshows and conferences
From April to June, we presented Deutsche EuroShop at roadshows
in Hamburg and London, and at conferences in Frankfurt, Hamburg,
Amsterdam and Paris, where we also held various individual and
group meetings with analysts and representatives of institutional
investors. On 9 May 2014, we gave a tour of the Main-Taunus-
Zentrum in Sulzbach to a group of international investors.
annual general meeting
The Annual General Meeting of Deutsche EuroShop was held on 18
June 2014 at the Handwerkskammer Hamburg. Around 230 share-
holders attended, representing 60.8% of the share capital. Items on
the agenda included the re-election of Thomas Armbrust as a mem-
ber of the Supervisory Board. Beate Bell and Manuela Better were
newly elected to the Supervisory Board following the departures of
Dr Michael Gellen and Dr Bernd Thiemann who had each served on
the Board for more than 10 years. The Annual General Meeting also
decided on the distribution of a dividend of €1.25 per share; as in the
previous year, a portion of this (€0.45) was again subject to tax for
private shareholders with a residence in Germany. For more detailed
information about the Annual General Meeting, please refer to www.

award for 2013 annual report
Our 2013 Annual Report under the theme “Shopping experience of
the future – Life doesn’t just happen online” was honoured with a
high-profile prize: At the “LACP 2013 Vision Awards Annual Compe-
tition“, organised by the League of American Communications Pro-
fessionals, our annual report received a platinum award in the “real
estate“ category and thus ranked among the world’s best, coming in
at 7th place from among over 1,000 entries.
The Shopping Center Share
Following a year-end closing price for 2013 of €31.83, Deutsche
EuroShop shares started the new year on an upward trend. Late
January brought a slight drop in the share price which reached
€30.71 on 4 February 2014, its low for the first six months of the
year. After this, the share price stabilised within a corridor between
€31.00 and €33.00 and then rose out of this corridor in late March.
The share reached €37.84 on 12 June 2014, its high not only for the
period but also a new all-time high. The price at the end of the first
half of the year was €36.10. Taking into account the dividend of €1.25
per share paid on 19 June 2014, this corresponds to a performance
of 17.3% in the first six months of the year. The MDAX gained 1.5%
over the same period. Deutsche EuroShop’s market capitalisation
stood at €1.9 billion on 30 June 2014.
