The financial year of the IMMOFINANZ Group ending on 30 April 2010 was
character-ised by an extensive restructuring process that culminated in the
merger of IMMOFINANZ AG and IMMOEAST AG and ends with the implementation of
the agreement reached with Constantia Packaging B.V. in May 2010. The
IMMOFINANZ Group - whose focus is now placed on the core markets of
Austria, Germany, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Czech Republic and
Hungary - followed an extremely negative crisis year in 2008/09 with a
successful turnaround and generated solid posi-tive earnings in 2009/10.
Earnings indicators improved significantly over the prior year and remain
on a sustainable upward trend.
Revenues and EBITDA
Even though revenues fell slightly from EUR 736.2 million in the prior year
to EUR 719.2 million for 2009/10, results of operations (EBITDA) rose
substantially by approx. 27% from EUR 310.5 million to EUR 394.9 million.
The decrease in revenues reflects a year-on-year decline in rental income
and lower income from operating costs charged to tenants, which resulted
above all from the sale of properties. However, a significant reduction in
overheads from EUR 235.5 million to EUR 112.7 million (-52%) supported an
improvement in EBITDA. The gross cash flow is four times higher than last
business year and rose from EUR 97.0 million to EUR 387.5 million.
Valuation and financial results
Both valuation results and financial results improved considerably in
comparison with the previous year. In spite of this development, valuation
results remained negative at EUR -213.7 million for 2009/10 (2008/09: EUR
-2,381.7 million) although EUR 234.2 million of foreign exchange-adjusted
revaluations were recognised during the reporting year. The negative
valuation results were caused by EUR -254.4 million of non-cash foreign
exchange effects outside the Group's influence as well as impairment
charges of EUR -286.1 million.
Financial results, which amounted to EUR -1,332.2 million in 2008/09,
turned positive in the reporting year and totalled EUR 27.1 million.
Quarterly results
Primarily due to lower sales of properties EBITDA of the forth quarter of
the business year 2009/10 decreased by EUR 19 million to EUR 89.7 million
compared to the previ-ous year. Due to goodwill impairment charges in
connection with the investment in the shopping centre Golden Babylon
Rostokino, EBIT turned negative (EUR -65.6 Mio.). The net loss for the
period amounts to EUR -25.5 million. IMMOFINANZ Group expects to represent
clearly positive results for the first quarter of the current business year
in September.
55 million treasury shares
On 13 August 2010 the IMMOFINANZ Group announced that it will take over 55
million IMMOFINANZ shares as treasury stock. These shares are currently
held by subsidiar-ies of Constantia Packaging B.V. and, based on the
agreement with Constantia Pack-aging B.V., the proceeds from their sale
would have been turned over to the IMMOFINANZ Group. The direct transfer of
these shares will be NAV accretive and also facilitate future refinancing.
Outlook
The restructuring of the IMMOFINANZ Group has been largely concluded, and
plans for 2010/11 consequently call for a focus on the optimisation of the
property portfolio, the completion and selective reactivation of
development projects, and the sale of as-sets that are not part of the core
business of the IMMOFINANZ Group.
The capital structure and liquidity of the IMMOFINANZ Group are stable.
Since the IMMOFINANZ Group will be confronted with the possible maturity of
EUR 866.6 million in convertible bonds during 2012, refinancing options for
the 2014 and 2017 convertible bonds are currently under evaluation. This
refinancing, which is one of the prerequi-sites for the planned payment of
a dividend for the 2011/12 financial year, should be realised within the
next three quarters.
The annual report of the IMMOFINANZ Group for the 2009/10 financial year
will be published in the course of the day under www.immofinanz.com.
