(Fiscal year: 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010)
Frankfurt, 11 August 2009 – In the first three months of fiscal year 2009/2010 (1 April 2009 - 31 March 2010), the consolidated result of MAGNAT REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES GmbH and Co. KGaA ("MAGNAT", ISIN DE000A0XFSF0) was EUR -0.8 million after taxes and minority interests (according to IFRS). This is an improvement over the previous year, which was EUR -1.2 million.
Net income from the leasing of portfolio properties rose from EUR 0.7 million in the previous year to EUR 0.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2009. Real estate valued at equity saw a loss of EUR -0.4 million after a balanced result in the previous year. At EUR -0.8 million, the operating result (EBIT) saw an improvement over the previous year (EUR -1.0 million). The financial result amounted to EUR -0.1 million after EUR -0.2 million in the previous year.
As of 30 June 2009, MAGNAT disposes of consolidated equity of EUR 94.4 million and a solid equity ratio of 63.5 percent after 72.6 percent on the same date of the previous year. Cash and cash equivalents increased from EUR 3.2 million in the previous year to EUR 5.8 million as at 30 June 2009; on 31 March 2009 cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 7.6 million. The net asset value (NAV), which is calculated according to international standards, stood at EUR 16.24 per share on the reporting date.
The progress of the YKB portfolio in the Greater Istanbul area was gratifying in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. With sales amounting to approximately EUR 32.4 million, gross profit of approximately EUR 12.0 million was achieved based on amortised cost. Due to revaluations in the previous periods according to IAS 40 in the YKB portfolio, the sales led to a balanced result. This confirms the current assessment of the market value and leaves the Management of MAGNAT feeling optimistic about the future development of the portfolio. Around EUR 24.0 million from the sales has been used for agreed unscheduled repayments for loans attached to the portfolio. With the exception of an operating cash reserve, most of the remaining funds were paid out to the shareholders. In the current fiscal year, MAGNAT has already received EUR 3.5 million from these cash flows.
Strategically, MAGNAT continues to give absolute priority to securing liquidity. At the end of July, MAGNAT was successful in refinancing operating credit lines amounting to EUR 12.9 million due in 2010 until 2014. Moreover, intensification of the re-marketing efforts is an important component for securing and improving profitability. To mitigate the sharp cyclical fluctuations in the real estate markets, MAGNAT aims to balance the distribution of the portfolio between the regions of Germany/Austria and Eastern/Southeastern Europe. In addition, cost optimisation measures will include a review and where necessary adjustment of the real net output ratio of the Company.
On the assumption of a general improvement in the current market situation, the Management of MAGNAT anticipates a stabilisation of the business model, an improvement in earnings performance and a return to growth over the next 12 - 24 months.
