Our Company Preamble by the Managing Board 5 PREAMBLE BY THE MANAGING BOARD We are delighted to be looking back at an eventful and successful 2017 financial year at PATRIZIA with you. In 2017, PATRIZIA’s business model – investing in attractive properties and property portfolios in Europe for global institutional and private investors – again proved to be characterised by stability, growth and profitability for our investors, and for PATRIZIA. With operating income of EUR 82.2m, we improved our adjusted result for the previous year by 14%. During this time, we organically grew the assets under management entrusted to us by DETAILS EUR 2.2bn, in particular as a result of new and attractive property products for our investors. We also professionally concerning the financial position can be found and successfully carried out property transactions throughout Europe with a total value of EUR 6.0bn for our inves- here tors in the past financial year. PAGE 42 FF. Furthermore, with the announcement of three key strategic acquisitions in three European countries, we substantially strengthened PATRIZIA’s business model and significantly expanded the product and investment opportunities for our institutional and private investors. These acquisitions are therefore crucial steps on our path to becoming the leading global provider of European real estate assets. Above all, our investors will be the ones to benefit from the forward-looking strategic acquisitions. The acquisitions ADDITIONAL expand product diversity for our institutional and private investors, improve access to the European property market information on our acquisitions can be through the substantially stronger European platform and increase our assets under management significantly found on the page to a pro forma amount of EUR 38.7bn, an increase of more than double as against the end of 2016. following the preamble PAGE 8 However, we do not see growth as an end in itself. Rather, the value added for our investors – institutional and private investors – is the driving factor in making our business model and the company even more stable and viable moving forward for you as our shareholders and all stakeholders. The fact that we announced three acquisitions at short intervals was the result of a strategic and long-term process of familiarisation and negotiation, at the end of which it was clear, particularly to the owner-managed target companies, that PATRIZIA – with its strong European locations, long-standing investor confidence and its proven and successful strategy – is the right partner for the future of the respective company, its investors and its employees. PATRIZIA has already successfully acquired and integrated companies in the past, advancing their product and service ranges.

  • Annual Report 2005 (PDF, 2MB, File Does Not Meet Accessibility
    President’s Statement A great deal is expected of the supervisory authorities, and these expectations are on the rise. A good supervisor should not only be effective and efficient, it must also be at least as dynamic as the markets and companies that it supervises if it wants to be prepared for the future. There are always new products and risks inspired mostly by international competition – and this is a challenge not only for the companies, but for supervisors as well. We have to consider the best ways to respond. It is virtually impossible to regulate complex and highly intertwined financial markets with rigid and meticulous rules. Internationally, there is almost universal consensus on the future of supervision: it should be principle-based, streamlined and open to individual solutions. BaFin took major steps towards this goal in 2005. The most important of these was the adoption of “risk classification”. This will help us in the future to rank all companies under our supervision in a matrix, according to their risk profiles and importance to the stability of the financial market. The position in the matrix shows how intensive our supervision will be, tailored exactly to the company. With this concept, we are realising the principle of risk orientation – a key precept of modern supervision. It also reflects an important element of integrated financial supervision today: a uniform supervisory approach for all companies subject to supervision, regardless of sector. This Annual Report will present to you in detail the concept of risk classification. BaFin continually updates its methods – remaining a flexible institution which is open to learning from experience.

  • Wirtschafts- Und Arbeitsmarktbericht Köln 2008
    Der Oberbürgermeister Wirtschafts- und Arbeitsmarktbericht Köln 2008 Wirtschafts- und Arbeitsmarktbericht Köln 2008 Wirtschafts- und Arbeitsmarktbericht Köln 2008 Seite 1 Vorwort Für die Zukunft gerüstet Köln hat in den letzten Jahren Maßstäbe gesetzt. Köln ist nicht nur eine Stadt mit hoher Lebensqualität, sondern auch eine Stadt im Aufbruch. Ein Aufbruch, der nicht zuletzt von den zahlreichen Baukränen und Baustellen symbolisiert wird. Sie dienen letztlich dem Ziel, Köln noch attraktiver und leistungsstärker zu machen. Denken wir an den Rheinauhafen, die Cologne Oval Offi ces in Bayenthal, das Großprojekt „Am Butzweilerhof“ oder das RheinTriadem am Konrad- Adenauer-Ufer. Fritz Schramma Denken wir an das Dominium, den Bereich Gereonstraße, das Odysse- Oberbürgermeister um oder an die Rheinpark-Metropole in Deutz, das größte Bürogebäude Deutschlands. All diese Projekte unterstreichen die Dynamik der Entwicklung in Köln und die wachsende Attraktivität des Standortes. Dass dies auch außerhalb un- serer Stadtgrenzen so gesehen wird, macht der Blick auf die Köln-Beilagen in diversen Tageszeitungen deutlich. So titelte etwa die Welt in ihrer Beilage vom Frühjahr 2008 „Eine Stadt dreht auf“ und berichtet über die vielen posi- tiven Entwicklungen in Köln. All die genannten Projekte zeigen aber auch ganz deutlich, dass wir in den letzten Jahren unsere Hausaufgaben gemacht und die richtigen Weichen- stellungen getroffen haben. Aber wir dürfen und wollen uns nicht damit zufriedengeben, die Ernte einzufahren. Wir müssen auch wieder neue Saat auslegen für das, was wir morgen ernten wollen. Weitere Projekte zur Optimierung des Wirtschaftsstandorts stehen an. Ich denke hier an den Deutzer Hafen, den ich mittelfristig zu einem neuen Krea- tivzentrum entwickeln möchte oder die Regelung der Verkehrsbeziehungen am Neumarkt.

  • Annual Report Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt Für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht – Bafin)
    Annual Report Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht – BaFin) Preface From the perspective of an integrated financial services supervisor, 2012 was a year of ups and downs. For example, the cheap money policy that the European Central Bank has been pursuing for some time now benefited not only indebted countries, but also banks. Above all, it bought time for both sides – time that the banks, for instance, must use to review their business models and improve their earnings. On the other hand, the low level of interest rates caused and continues to cause problems for other companies, especially life insurers. The good news is that they will be able to meet their benefit obligations in the short to medium term, thanks to various measures such as, for instance, the Zinszusatzreserve. This has been confirmed by BaFin’s stress tests and projections. These and many other issues that occupied us in 2012 will continue to accompany us in 2013 – and beyond. Chief among them are a number of regulatory reform projects. For example, the question of how to deal with systemically important banks has not been finally answered. Although we have made some progress in the regulation of the shadow banking sector, we still have a long way to go. Another European reform project that we have carried over into 2013 is the revision of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). Unfortunately, even major projects that were already at an advanced stage have slipped behind schedule. Examples include the European CRD IV regulatory package that is intended to implement Basel III, among other things.
