Directors' report

Result in the period 1 January – 30 June 2019

Park Street Nordicom result analysis primarily uses the term EBVAT (earnings before value adjustments and tax) to measure the Group's operating results.

In the 1st half of 2019, Park Street Nordicom achieved EBVAT of DKK 40.4 million (1st half of 2018: DKK 41.4 million), which is in line with management expectations for the period.

The EBVAT achieved in the 1st half of 2019 is DKK 1.0 million lower than the corresponding amount achieved in the 1st half of 2018. The slight reduction is primarily due to the increase in overhead costs (DKK 7.0 million) which has been partially compensated by an increase of the gross profit (DKK 5.5 million) and a reduction of the financial expenses (DKK -0.5 million). The overhead costs are higher due to an increase of the costs incurred on consultants and architects with the focus on building a technology and design platform for the future of the company. The initial effect of the streamlining of the operations is an improvement of the gross profit by DKK 5.5 million.

The Group's equity as at 30th June 2019 was positive at DKK 847.2 million, against DKK 810.6 million as at 31 December 2018. The improvement in the Group's equity is due to the profit of the period.

Expectations for 2019

Park Street Nordicom expectations for EBVAT (earnings before value adjustments and tax) at year-end 2019 remain at DKK 95 - 105 million. As indicated in the budget published in the beginning of the year it is expected to generate a profit of approximately DKK 15 - 20 million from redevelopment and sale of assets. Management consider that this profit will be materialized before the end of the year 2019. Profit generated from operations in first half of the year 2019 is in line with the budgeted figures.

The operation of the Group's properties in the first half of 2019 was generally as expected with the vacancy rate (calculated by rental value) for the Group's investment properties without significant variations from the end of the year 2018. Significant portion of this vacancy is concentrated on a potential redevelopment projects in Taastrup, Odense, and within storage assets in Næstved. Significant steps have been taken on the redevelopment project in Taastrup that will ensure its viability generating a future increase in the property value and Net Operating Income.

Property buy and sales

In the 1st half of 2019, Park Street Nordicom acquired the following properties:

  • Shopping center in Glostrup
  • Residential unit in Østerbro, Copenhagen
  • Land plot in Kolding

Organisation and Annual General meeting held on April 25th 2019

The Board of Directors of Park Street Nordicom consists of Andrew La Trobe, Pradeep Pattem, Ohene Aku Kwapong, Anita Nassar, Lars-Andreas Nilsen and Per Høpfner

The number of employees of Park Street Nordicom has increased from 26 by the end of 2018 to 29 in June 2019.

Consolidated financial review

PROFIT FOR 1st HALF OF 2019

As mentioned in the Director's report the EBVAT in the first half of 2019 is DKK 40.4 million (1st half of 2018: DKK 41.4 million). The slight reduction is primarily due to the increase in overhead costs which has been partially compensated by an increase of the gross profit and a reduction of the financial expenses.

Park Street Nordicom's profit is DKK 36.5 million for the 1st half of 2019 compared to DKK 37.2 million in the 1st half of 2018. As indicated in the previous paragraph the decrease in the Profit for the period is caused by a small reduction on the EBVAT compared to the 1st half of 2018.

The gross profit in the 1st half of 2019 is DKK 77.2 million (1st half of 2018: DKK 71.6 million), equivalent to an increase of DKK 5.6 million. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the rent increase in the second half of 2018 and first half of 2019 across lease contracts and indexation. The gross profit is also positively affected by a reduction of the operating expenses due to more efficient property management.

The Group's overheads were DKK 21.7 million in the 1st half of 2019 against DKK 14.7 million in the 1st half of 2018. As stated in the Director's report the overhead costs are higher due to an increase of the costs incurred on consultants and architects (DKK 5.9 million) with the focus on building a technology and design platform for the future of the company. Additionally, fixed assets depreciation is DKK 1.1 million higher compared to the first half of 2018.

Financial expenses were DKK 15.1 million in the 1st half of 2019 compared to DKK 15.6 million, equivalent to a decrease of DKK 0.5 million as the bank margins and interest rates are lower compared to the previous year.

BALANCE SHEET AS AT 30 JUNE 2019

Park Street Nordicom's balance sheet total as at 30 June 2019 was DKK 2,691.2 million, an increase of DKK 110.5 million on the balance sheet total compared to 31 December 2018. Main reason of the increase has been the acquisitions mentioned in the Director's Report (DKK 101.3 million).

Group's equity at 30 June 2019 was positive by DKK 847.2 million against DKK 810.6 million as at December 31, 2018. The improvement in the Group's equity is due to the profit of the period.

Liabilities to credit institutions were DKK 1,658.9 million as at 30 June 2019 (31 December 2018: DKK 1,590.9 million), consisting of DKK 1,480.0 million (89%) for non-current liabilities and DKK 178.9 million (11%) for current liabilities. In the 1st half of 2019, financial liabilities were increased by DKK 68 million (net). An increase of DKK 95 million is due to long term mortgage financing for one of the newly acquired properties. This increase has been partially compensated with the payment of the amortization of existing loans.

CASH FLOWS FOR THE 1st HALF OF 2019

Cash flows from operating activities for the 1st half of 2019 were DKK 48.1 million (1st half of 2018: DKK 40.4 million), equivalent to an increase of DKK 7.7 million in relation to the same period last year. The increase is due primarily to positive evolution of the operating capital (increase of DKK 7.5 million).

Cash flows from investing activities for the 1st half of 2019 were DKK -105.0 million (1st half of 2018: DKK 48.0 million). Cash flows from investing activities were negative due to the acquisition of three properties as previously mentioned (decrease of DKK -101.3 million). The positive effect in the 1st half of 2018 was due to a cash injection in the share capital of DKK 50.0 million in the 1st half of 2018. The effect on cash flow for the period of improvements to properties was DKK -3.8 million (1st half of 2018: DKK --0.8 million).

Cash flows from financing activities for the 1st half of 2019 were DKK 68.0 million (1st half of 2018: DKK -82.6 million). There is a positive effect of DKK 95.0 million due to the obtention of long-term mortgage financing in one of the newly acquired properties. This effect has been partly compensated by the amortization repayments of existing loans.

The Group's liquid assets amounted to DKK 65.4 million as at 30 June 2019 against DKK 54.3 million as at 31 December 2018.

Uncertainty in connection with recognition and measurement

In connection with the submission of the interim report, management makes several estimates and assessments regarding the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, including:

  • Fair value of investment properties,
  • Fair value of domicile properties,
  • Impairment test on domicile properties,
  • Classification of properties,
  • Deferred tax assets and tax liabilities

Where estimates are concerned, there is uncertainty in relation to the stated factors and items. It may be necessary to change previous estimates on account of changes in the factors on which the estimates were based. Reference is made to note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual report for 2018 for further details on these assessments, estimates and associated uncertainties. New and changed assessments and estimates in the 1st half of 2019 are discussed in note 1 to the interim report.

Risk factors

As mentioned in the Annual report for 2018, the financial management of the Group is geared towards optimising the term structure of liabilities in line with the Group's operations and minimizing the Group's financial risk exposure. It is part of the Group's policy not to conduct speculative transactions by active use of financial instruments, except to manage the financial risks inherent to the Group's core activities.

For further details of the Group's risks and risk management, see the company's Annual report for 2018 ('Risk factors' section on pages 18-20).
