The EPRA-based (European Public Real Estate Association) direct result does not
include unrealized exchange rate gains or losses or fair value changes. 

Keith Silverang, CEO:

“Technopolis performed well despite the challenges of 2014, and recorded
healthy operational earnings. We saw a significant increase in our net sales
and EBITDA, and our occupancy rate rose. Our EPRA-based net result, which only
contains operational items, grew 38.1%. What's more, our EBITDA margin rose
from 50.7% in the last year to 53.9% thanks to effective cost control. 

The decline in our IFRS-based earnings resulted from a EUR 40.5 million
decrease in the fair value of investment properties and EUR 22.1 million in
unrealized exchange rate losses, coming primarily from the devaluation of the
Russian ruble. Russian business operations account for 4% of the company's
balance sheet. 

The equity ratio fell by 1.7 % year-on-year, primarily due to weaker
currencies. Despite the fall, our equity ratio was 38.5%, remaining well above
the 35% target set by the Board. 

In 2014, we focused on operational efficiency enhancement and on the
integration of campuses acquired in 2013. We were able to raise the occupancy
rate of the Peltola campus in Oulu from 54% at the point of acquisition to 90%.
In Vilnius, a high occupancy rate and our customers' expansion requirements
offer excellent opportunities to invest in further expansion this year. In
Oslo, we did more than 12,000m² in new agreements, including 5,400m² in new
leases. The Falcon Business Park acquired in Espoo, Finland, was renamed
Innopoli 3 and successfully integrated into the Otaniemi Campus. 

The Technopolis concept is effective and replicable, as demonstrated by
successful integration and higher EBITDA margins. It has enabled us to achieve
strong financial occupancy rates in Finland, and robust growth outside the
country. 

We will continue to invest in international growth. That said, all new
investments will still need to meet strict investment criteria, and we will
continue to focus sharply on profitability.”
