DF Deutsche Forfait AG publishes figures for Q1 2014
DF Deutsche Forfait AG / Key word(s): Quarter Results
19.12.2014 / 18:29
Cologne, 19 December 2014 – DF Deutsche Forfait AG (Prime Standard, ISIN: DE0005488795) booked a consolidated net loss of EUR 2.7 million (previous year: consolidated net income EUR 0.5 million) for the first three months of the year 2014. This corresponds to negative earnings per share of EUR -0.40 (previous year: EUR 0.07). The primary driver of the negative result was the naming of the company in the U.S. OFAC sanctions list on 6 February 2014, which considerably restrained the company’s ability to conduct its business. On 16 October the company’s name was removed from the list without any fine being imposed. The company is currently preparing a number of measures to strengthen its equity basis and its debt structure.
The full report on the first three months of 2014 will be available on the company’s website under “Investor Relations” on 23 December 2014.
About DF Group
The main business activities of DF Group are the purchase and sale of selected export receivables in emerging markets on a non-recourse basis. The objective is to sell the acquired receivables at the same time or in the short term. Forfaiting is an increasingly important tool in export financing, with volumes rising in line with the continuing advance of globalization. Creating tradable products from receivables benefits both exporters and buyers. As well as transferring risk to the buyer, the main benefit of forfaiting for exporters is the inflow of cash. This relieves the exporters’ credit lines and improves their balance sheet structure. DF Deutsche Forfait AG structures receivables attractively, so that investors seek them as a type of investment.
