• • Result for the period of EUR0.43m, 7.2% above the result for the corresponding period of the previous year
• • Markedly higher dividend income from BEWAG, BEGAS and the Vienna Stock Exchange

Income situation

The increase in dividend income from BEWAG, BEGAS and the Vienna Stock Exchange by EUR0.4m or 6.6% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year resulted in an increase in the profit for the period from EUR6.1m to EUR6.5m. The interest yield generated by the Company's investment of liquid funds more than offset the slight rise in operating expenditure.

Balance sheet and capital structure

Burgenland Holding AG's sound capital structure remained unchanged compared to the previous business year. The balance sheet total stood at EUR76.7m, up 1.1 % on the previous year. The increase in the balance sheet total was due to largely higher receivables following the investment of the Company's liquid funds.
