Deutsche EuroShop: Preliminary Results 2009 -  Operational Result 10% Up -
EUR 33.9 million Consolidated Profit - 2010 Forecast Raised

Hamburg, February 16, 2009 - The shopping center investor Deutsche EuroShop
is expecting a consolidated profit of EUR 33.8 million (2008: EUR 68.9
million) for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2009. The forecast is based
on preliminary results for 2009 and includes the valuation of the shopping
centers. The figures correspond to earnings per share of EUR 0.94 (2008:
EUR 2.00). The Funds from Operations (FFO) increased by 4.8% from EUR 1.45
per share to EUR 1.52. The Company intends to propose to the shareholders
at the Annual General Meeting on 17 June 2010 in Hamburg that an unchanged
dividend of EUR1.05 per share be distributed for the 2009 financial year.

The revenue amounted to EUR 127.6 million, 10.6% more than in the prior
year (EUR 115.3 million, like-for-like growth +2.0%). With earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) of almost EUR 110.7 million (2008: EUR 98.1
million) the operating earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to approx. EUR
54.9 million (2008: EUR 49.9 million), the valuation result (after
minorities) to approx. EUR -13.7 million (2008: EUR 37.1 million). The
average revaluation result of the centers was approx. -0.9% - due to
