Augsburg (Germany) - March 23, 2011. PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (ISIN
DE000PAT1AG) achieved an adjusted EBT of EUR 12.8 million in the fiscal
year 2010 (2009: EUR 2.4 million) and thereby lies at the upper end of its
forecast of EUR 12-13 million. The significantly improved business
development was underpinned by more extensive sales: a total of 1,803 units
were sold (2009: 946 units, +91%), 801 units individually through apartment
privatization (2009: 657, +22%) and 1,002 units via block sales (2009: 289,
+247%). These sales generated EUR 286.7 million (EUR 242.8 million of which
are recognized as revenues). The disposal of 3 project development
properties contributed a further EUR 42.4 million in revenues. As a result
of the sales, rental income from the remaining portfolio dropped to EUR
63.8 million (2009: EUR 70.1 million, -9%). Total revenues at EUR 339.6
million was 35% higher than the previous year (2009: EUR 250.9 million).
At the end of 2010, the PATRIZIA portfolio consisted of 9,305 units.
PATRIZIA invested EUR 6.9 million in maintenance (2009: EUR 8.8 million).
EUR 20.2 million was invested in renovation and restructuring measures in
the portfolio (2009: EUR 15.2 million), of which EUR 16.1 million was
capitalized. Assuming an average portfolio size of around 742,400 sqm for
2010, annual maintenance costs amount to EUR 9.26/sqm, including renovation
and restructuring costs of EUR 36.47/sqm. The monthly average rental per
square meter for the entire portfolio fell to EUR 7.67 by the year's end
due to regional conditions (December 31, 2009: 7.82 Euro/sqm). Rental
income after the deduction of maintenance costs exceeds the adjusted
financing result of EUR -48.1 million by 18.3%.
Profitability improved
EBIT calculated in accordance with IFRS increased from EUR 56.1 million in
the previous year to EUR 61.2 million (+9.1%), while EBT rose from EUR -8.0
million to EUR 11.5 million (+244.3%). This shows that PATRIZIA has not
only boosted its profitability, but that the company's financing costs are
falling. Without the changes in value of interest rate hedges not impacting
liquidity totaling EUR -1.6 million, and investment property totaling EUR
0.3 million, adjusted EBT amounts to EUR 12.8 million. This figure exceeds
the previous year's result of EUR 2.4 million many times over.
Debt significantly reduced
PATRIZIA's balance sheet structure improved significantly in 2010. Bank
loans were reduced by EUR 228.8 million to EUR 841.4 million (-21.4%),
while cash and cash equivalents increased by 25.5% to EUR 70.5 million. The
company's equity ratio reached 24.3% to the reporting date, thereby almost
achieving the targeted lower limit of 25% (December 31, 2009: 20.0%).
Meanwhile bank loans totaling over EUR 466 million requiring refinancing by
March 31, 2011 were refinanced and extended by a term of 39 months until
June 30, 2014. To this time the interest rate hedges related to the loan
will also expire, meaning that consolidated profits will no longer be
impacted by the fair value measurement of the interest rate hedges in the
future. By the end of 2010, interest rates for 66.2% of liabilities to
banks were hedged with the hedged rate of interest being 4.08%.
Appropriation of net profits
New financing will be required in 2011 for the acquisition of properties
for residential property resale and project development. Against this
background, we deliberately wish to have greater liquidity available. At
the Annual General Meeting on June 29, 2011 the Managing Board and
Supervisory Board will propose to carry all of PATRIZIA Immobilien AG's
2010 retained earnings forward to a new account.
Outlook for 2011
With the acquisition of the asset management company, LB Immo Invest GmbH,
we expanded our existing range of services to include commercial real
estate special funds. Alongside the fund we wish to offer more
co-investments in the future, which should increasingly replace 100% own
investments.
With its structure to date, PATRIZIA should at least achieve the EUR 12.8
million adjusted EBT posted in its last fiscal year. We expect an
additional contribution of EUR 3.5 million from the acquisition of LB Immo
Invest after the deduction of financing costs, meaning that we are
targeting an adjusted EBT of EUR 16-17 million. Provided that we achieve
this goal and that our capital funding is at a level of 25%, we would like
to our shareholders to share in the company's success by paying out a
dividend for fiscal year 2011.
