Burgenland Holding AG

Burgenland Holding AG Q1-Q3 2008/09

• • Equity ratio unchanged at 99.9%
• • Dividend yields of BEGAS TEUR182.4 above last year's level, unchanged for BEWAG
• • Due to a lapse of dividend payments from the Vienna Stock Exchange as well as lower interest income from liquid funds, the result for the period was slightly below that of last year

Income situation

Despite the increase in the dividend payout from BEGAS by TEUR182.4 and the unchanged distribution by BEWAG, the profit for the period decreased slightly to EUR6.4m from EUR6.5m. The reasons for this can be found, on the one hand, in the fact that Wiener Börse AG did not distribute a dividend because of further expansion plans, and – on the other – in the interest rate level, which is significantly lower than in previous; this led to a sharp reduction in interest income.

Balance sheet and capital structure

Burgenland Holding AG's sound capital structure remained virtually unchanged compared to the previous business year. The balance sheet total stood at EUR81.5m, up 0.1 % on the previous year. This results in an equity ratio of 99.9% as of June 30, 2009.
