HAMBORNER REIT AG: Final earnings figures published - successful
performance in 2010 confirmed
- Rental and leasing income up around 11%
- Strong rise in operating result (FFO) of around 25%
- Properties with an investment volume of around EUR160 million acquired
Duisburg, 29 March 2011 - HAMBORNER REIT AG today confirmed all the advance
figures it announced in February at its press conference in Frankfurt/Main
to mark the publication of its annual report. The continuing strong
operating performance of the last few years is reflected in the significant
year-on-year increases in many of its key figures. Net rental income of
around EUR22.1 million (previous year: EUR19.9 million) rose by 11% largely
as a result of new acquisitions (previous year: 14.2%). The average vacancy
rate remained low at 2.5% (1.5% including rent guarantees).
The operating result was EUR 12.3 million after EUR 10.4 million in the
previous year. This rise of around 18% is due in particular to the higher
net rental income. EBIT amounted to EUR14.6 million, around 34% higher than
in the previous year (EUR10.9 million). At around EUR5.5 million, net
profit for the year rose roughly 8% on the previous year's level (EUR5.1
million). This already takes into account the exit taxation as part of the
company's transformation into a REIT, as a result of which it will be
exempt from trade tax and corporation tax going forward.
As a key figure for operating performance, FFO (funds from operations)
climbed significantly by roughly 25% to EUR12 million in absolute terms
(previous year: EUR9.6 million). Following the capital increase - in which
the number of shares rose by 50% - FFO per share was EUR0.35 as at 31
December 2010 (previous year: EUR0.42 per share on 22.77 million shares).
The company's net asset value (NAV) is EUR8.80 per share after the capital
increase, down from the previous year's level of EUR10.37. This is
essentially due to the exit tax paid in the first half of 2010 and the
attractive conditions for investors in the capital increase carried out in
autumn 2010. The value of the property portfolio proved highly stable, as
confirmed by third-party experts in the annual revaluation. The total value
of the portfolio rose by 22% to EUR376 million as a result of the addition
of new properties in 2010; several new properties have already been added
in the opening months of 2011.
The company's cash in hand of around EUR83.6 million, its loan-to-value
(LTV) ratio of 19.3% and REIT equity ratio of 74.9% - significantly higher
than the 45% required by the REIT Act - mean that it is comfortably
equipped for further growth.
Given the solid performance in 2010 and the positive prospects for 2011
with double-digit growth again forecast for rental revenues and strong FFO
growth, the Managing Board will propose the distribution of a dividend of
EUR0.37 per share at the Annual General Meeting on 17 May 2011, thereby
increasing the total dividend amount by 50%.
