IMMOFINANZ generated net profit of EUR 101.7 million from continuing operations, i.e. excluding Russia, in Q1 2017 (Q1 2016: EUR -139.3 million).

Results of operations equalled EUR 17.8 million (Q1 2016: EUR 57.2 million). Financial results improved substantially to EUR 93.0 million (Q1 2016: EUR -37.3 million), above all due to positive valuation effects from the investments in CA Immo and BUWOG.
