Commenting on today's announcement, David Tahan, Chairman of AFI
Development, said:
"We are pleased to report that AFI Development has continued to
deliver growth in revenue and profits, driven by the performance of
our four ongoing residential projects - Odinburg, AFI Residence
Paveletskaya, Bolshaya Pochtovaya and Botanic Garden. As we look
ahead to the full year, we remain alert the issues posed by a
weaker Russian rouble which could impact the value of our property
portfolio and the threat of additional US sanctions. However, we
believe that with our high-calibre projects, we are well placed to
maintain the positive momentum in our performance into the final
quarter."

This announcement contains inside information.
About AFI Development
Established in 2001, AFI Development is one of the leading real
estate development companies operating in Russia.
AFI Development is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock
Exchange and aims to deliver shareholder value through a commitment
to innovation and continuous project development, coupled with the
highest standards of design, construction and quality of customer
service.
AFI Development focuses on developing and redeveloping high
quality commercial and residential real estate assets across
Russia, with Moscow being its main market. The Company's existing
portfolio comprises commercial projects focused on offices,
shopping centres, hotels and mixed-use properties, and residential
projects.
AFI Development's strategy is to sell the residential properties
it develops and to either lease the commercial properties or sell
them for a favourable return.
AFI Development is a leading force in urban regeneration,
breathing new life into city squares and neighbourhoods and
transforming congested and underdeveloped areas into thriving new
communities. The Company's long-term, large-scale regeneration and
city infrastructure projects establish the necessary groundwork for
the successful launch of commercial and residential properties,
providing a strong base for the future.

actual results to differ materially from those contained in
projections or forward-looking statements of the Company,
including, among others, general economic conditions, the
competitive environment, risks associated with operating in Russia
and market change in the industries the Company operates in, as
well as many other risks specifically related to the Company and
its operations.
Chairman's statement
In the third quarter of 2018, a weaker rouble increased
inflationary expectations, which in turn caused the Russian Central
Bank to raise its key lending rate by 25 basis points to 7.5% in
September 2018. Furthermore, with some stabilisation in the Russian
economy, the threat of new US sanctions remains a risk for
consideration by all companies operating in Russia.
AFI Development continues to report growth in revenue and
profits, mainly driven by our four ongoing residential projects.
Our residential sales contributed $112.4 million in revenue,
reflecting both changes in our recognition of revenue now that we
report in accordance with IFRS 15 and the delivery of apartments to
customers in Phase I of AFI Residence Paveletskaya. Rental and
hotel operating income also increased to US$93.9 million for the
nine-month period, a 10% year-on-year increase, with AFIMALL City
remaining the main contributor.
Our gross profit for 9M 2018 increased 63% year-on-year to
US$72.1 million, reflecting stronger residential revenue and higher
profitability of our residential projects in Moscow (relative to
Odinburg in the Moscow region, which accounted for all of our
recognised residential sales revenue in 2017).
We recorded a net profit of US$96.6 million for the nine-month
period. This is a significant increase compared to 9M 2017 (US$0.6
million), largely driven by valuation and foreign exchange
gains.
We remain cautiously optimistic regarding the market environment
for both our residential and commercial projects. We believe that
with our high-quality, competitive projects, we are well placed to
generate robust revenues and profits in the coming years.
Projects update
AFIMALL City
The continued improvement in the performance of AFIMALL City is
reflected in the 8% year-on-year increase in revenue to US$64.7
million for the nine-month period, and a 13% year-on-year increase
in NOI to US$50.3 million. Occupancy at the end of Q3 was 92%.
Odinburg
At the Odinburg residential development, the construction of
Building 3 (phase II) has commenced. Building 3 (Phase 1) and
Building 6 (Phase II) are under construction and currently being
marketed to customers. Building 6 is scheduled for delivery in Q1
2019.
As of 7 November 2018, 685 apartments (96% of total) were sold
in Building 2, 420 (46% of total) in Building 3 (Phase I) and 161
(83% of total) in Building 6.
AFI Residence Paveletskaya
The delivery of Phase I apartments to customers is now complete.
Meanwhile, construction work and the marketing of apartments and
special units in Phase II continue to plan, with Phase II scheduled
for delivery in Q1 2019. As of 7 November 2018, 503 contracts for
pre-sales of both apartments and "special units" have been signed
(79% of Phase I and Phase II combined).
Bolshaya Pochtovaya
During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, the
construction and marketing of the project progressed according to
plan and as of 7 November 2018, 191 apartments (47% of Phase I and
Phase II combined) had been pre-sold to customers.
Botanic Garden
Construction work and pre-sales are also progressing at Botanic
Garden. As of 7 November 2018, 224 apartments (28% of Phase I) have
been pre-sold to customers.
Aquamarine III Business Centre (Ozerkovskaya III)
In Q1 2018, the Company successfully completed the disposal of
Buildings 2 and 4 to one of the leading Russian banks for circa
US$135 million. AFI Development currently owns one remaining
building in the complex (GBA 18,805 sq.m, including underground
parking), which is leased to Deutsche Bank, Brown-Forman and other
tenants.
Subsequent events
1. On 14 November 2018, the Company converted its existing US
dollar denominated loans, provided by Bank VTB PJSC at the Plaza
Spa Kislovodsk and Plaza Spa Zheleznovodsk projects, into euros at
a flat interest rate of 4.2% per annum. The three loans (two at
Plaza Spa Kislovodsk and one at Plaza Spa Zheleznovodsk) will have
a combined principal of approximately EUR39 million, the
outstanding dollar denominated interest has been paid at the date
of conversion. The main terms of the loans, except for currency and
interest rate, remain unchanged.
2. On 19 November 2018, the Board of Directors of AFI
Development accepted the resignation of Mr Mark Groysman from the
position of Executive Director, effective 1 December 2018. Mr
Groysman's services on the Board were planned as an interim measure
and his resignation follows a new appointment to the Board. Mr.
Groysman will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer
('CEO') of AFI RUS LLC. At the same meeting, the Board appointed Mr
Avraham Novogrocki to replace Mr Groysman with such appointment
being effective from 1 December 2018.
Mr Novogrocki previously served on the Company's Board between
2012 and 2016. Mr Novogrocki was, until September 2018, CEO of
Africa Israel Investments Ltd, a company listed on the Tel-Aviv
Stock Exchange in Israel. Prior to assuming the CEO role at Africa

A new loan facility was acquired by one of the Group's
subsidiaries, Bellgate Construction Ltd ("Bellgate"), based on a
loan agreement signed on the 28 December 2017. This new loan
facility was used to refinance the previous loan from VTB Bank JSC
("VTB") signed on 22 June 2012 with a maturity date in April 2018
and was also used to repay the remainder amount of US$83 million,
of Ozerkovskaya III loan which expired in January 2018. Bellgate

2018, in Euros and in Russian Rubles. The blended interest rate on

and current Russian Central Bank key lending rate). The interest
and the principal of the new loan are to be paid quarterly, while
the term of the loan is 5 years.

Bank PJSC in the amount of RUR711 million to refinance the
previously incurred costs for the construction of the project. The
loan bears floating interest rate of the Russian Central Bank key
lending rate + 1.5%. The principal on the loan is payable monthly,
while the interest is payable quarterly. The loan was fully repaid
in June 2018.
