Ad-hoc report 24 November 2010
• Significant increase in EBIT to € 134.6 m (2009: €-6.1 m) due to profits from sales and revaluations; Record EBIT in Q3
• Net Income (after minorities) of € 13.5 m (2009: €-78.3 m)
• Positive outlook for FY 2010
Vienna, 24/11/2010. Against the background of a markedly friendlier business environment, especially regarding the real estate investment market, CA Immo was able to achieve a further improvement of key profitability figures. In addition to a number of successful disposals, the last months were characterized by the reaching of important milestones at development projects, especially the completions of Nord 1 and the first phase of Tower 185, both in Frankfurt.
Significant increase in EBIT
Owing to sales of properties transacted last year, rental income for the Group, compared to the first nine months of 2009, fell by 8.1 % to € 123.4 m. Property sales that were closed until Sept 30 generated revenues of € 92.7 m. Non income generating development land previously held in the trading portfolio or in long term assets contributed 90% to this figure. The revenues exceeded the corresponding bookvalues by 25%; the sale of properties held in current assets contributed profits of € 16.3 m (2009: € 2.5 m), with the sale of long-term properties contributing profits of € 2.4 m (2009: € 13.1 m).
The revaluation result amounted to € 35.5 m (2009: €-115.3 m). More than one third of this revaluation gains relates to property sales that were already signed but not yet closed as of the balance sheet date. Additionally, (partial-) completions of development projects contributed significantly to the revaluation gains.
Consequently the operating result (EBIT) showed a marked increase from € -6.1 m to € 134.6 m. The third quarter contributed € 61.1 m to this result, making it the highest quarterly EBIT ever achieved by CA Immo.
The financial result improved slightly from € -115.1 m in the first nine months of 2009, to € -107.9 m.
In addition to a non-cash effective negative result from the valuation of interest rate hedges of €¬¬-15.9 m the financial result also includes one off effects in the form of impairments of financial investments in the amount of €-13.2 m, which relate to stakes in real estate projects in Eastern Europe.
Consolidated net income after minorities increased to € 13.5 m, compared to a loss of € -78.3 m in the previous year.
As of the reporting date, the equity ratio of CA Immo was 36.4 %, compared to 40.1 % as of 31 December 2009. This change in equity ratio can to a large extent be contributed to the decrease of non-controlling interest following the increase in the stake held in CA Immo International AG. Net financial debt for the Group was € 1.9 bn on 30 Sept 2010, with property assets of approximately € 3.7 bn.
Net asset value per share on 30 Sept 2010 stood at € 17.96, slightly above the value reported at the end of last year. The change in Net Asset Value reflects on the one hand positive effects from the result as well as from the increase in the stake in CA Immo International AG, which were, however, to a large extend compensated by negative effects from the hedge accounting of interest rate hedging instruments.
Positive Outlook
For the remaining final quarter of 2010 CA Immo expects a continuation of the positive operative development and – not withstanding remaining market- and valuation uncertainties – is confident to reach a significantly positive net income for the full year 2010. A significant contribution to this will come from further sales, which are currently under final negotiations or have already been contractually fixed.
Dr. Bruno Ettenauer, Chief Executive Officer of CA Immobilien Anlagen AG, “With the gainful sale of development land plots we were able to successfully implement one of our key targets for 2010. The current status of CA Immo comprises a good starting position to make use of the recovering market situation in order to further improve our profits also in the coming year.”
