Noratis AG Provides Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Full Year of 2017

Noratis AG is a Germany-based company, which operates as an owner-managed developer of residential property portfolios. The Company invests in residential properties with technical and commercial development potential in Germany, mainly in small and medium-sized towns or on the outskirts of metropolitan areas. Its properties, preferably housing estates, employee housing and quarters, are upgraded and repositioned through value-enhancing development measures regarding both the buildings and a professional asset management. After development, the properties are either sold or remain in the portfolio of the Company. Sales are carried out using two strategies: Block sales (sales of individual multi-family houses and/or house lines up to entire portfolios) and Retail sales (sales of individual apartments to tenants, owner-occupiers or investors).
