Hamburg, 24 August 2015.  During the first half of 2015, ADLER Real Estate
AG (ISIN: DE0005008007 / WKN: 500800), Frankfurt am Main, significantly
increased its gross rental income as a result of the strong growth in its
property portfolio as well as from its privatisation and trading platform
Accentro GmbH. According to preliminary figures for the first half of 2015,
gross rental income from properties increased by more than 220% from EUR 25
million to EUR 80.86 million in H1 2015. Income from privatisation and
sales of properties also significantly increased by more than 18 times from
EUR 1.27 million in H1 2014 to EUR 23.51 million in H1 2015. At the end of
last year and in January 2015, ADLER acquired two property portfolios with
c.11.000 units with the corresponding rental income now for the first time
being almost entirely reflected in H1 results.

In H1 2015, the net result decreased from EUR 105.6 million in H1 2014, to
EUR 56.5 million in H1 2015 as the fair value adjustments decreased from
EUR 105 million to EUR 10.6 million. However, consolidated earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) excluding effects from fair value adjustments
significantly increased by more than 170% from EUR 31.98 million in H1 2014
to EUR 86.51 million in H1 2015. The significant increases in earnings are
also the result of the first time consolidation of property companies as
well as the successful sale of a property portfolio in
Berlin-Hohenschönhausen.

June 2015 increasing ADLER's total assets by more than 80% from EUR 1.42
