Share price performance

Having started the 2016 stockmarket year at a price of € 45.50, the share recorded a continuous price appreciation over the following months. Accompanied by positive order intake figures and the announcement of record results for the 2015 financial year, the HELMA share reached a new all-time high with a price of € 59.30 in mid-April. Especially the Brexit decision affected the equity market in subsequent weeks, although the HELMA share performed well within this uncertain market environment.

The closing price of the HELMA share in XETRA trading on June 30, 2016 amounted to € 57.65. This represents a gain of around 27% since the start of the year.

Early repayment of HELMA bond approved

After concluding the refinancing through a promissory note transaction and a KfW financing facility, and having received the funds, the Management Board of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG passed a resolution on August 1, 2016 in relation to the company's existing € 35.0 million bond issued in 2013 to call the bond early as of September 19, 2016 pursuant to section 4 (c) of the bond terms, and repay it at 101% of par.

HELMA Eigenheimbau AG utilised its early call right to significantly reduce its annual interest costs connected with the bond of around € 2.1 million to approximately € 0.9 million.

Further details about the structuring of the refinancing are presented in the report on events after the balance sheet date.

At the end of 2010, HELMA Eigenheimbau AG subjected itself for the first time to a corporate rating procedure by Creditreform Rating AG. Its BBB investment grade rating was set in November 2010.

Interim Group management report

Organisational structure

HELMA Eigenheimbau AG is the parent company of the HELMA Group, and is also operationally active as a customer-oriented building services provider. The company also provides services connected with the management, planning, and execution of construction projects on the basis of a non-gratuitous contract for services or work for its subsidiaries HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH and HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH, which primarily operate in the business of developing residential and holiday properties. As a financial advisory company and home insurance broker, the subsidiary Hausbau Finanz GmbH rounds out the HELMA Group's product range.

Organisational chart of the HELMA Group

Business areas

Residential building services – since 1980

HELMA Eigenheimbau AG is a customer-oriented provider of a full range of construction services. The company focuses on the development, planning, sale, and construction management of turnkey or partially completed detached and semi-detached houses using the solid construction method. Particularly the option of individual planning and individualisation without extra costs, as well as the company's outstanding know-how in the area of energy-efficient construction methods, are perceived on the market as HELMA Eigenheimbau AG's unique selling propositions. With its persuasive sustainable energy concepts, the company has established itself as one of the leading providers of solar energy-saving homes, and is one of the most experienced companies in the solid construction house sector, having constructed several thousand owner-occupier homes.

Residential property development business – since 1984

Through its subsidiary HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH, the HELMA Group also operates as a property developer, focusing firstly on buying attractive property areas that are sold together with individually planned solidconstruction HELMA homes as units to private individuals. Along with detached houses that can be structured individually, the product portfolio is expanded further in select locations by preplanned semi-detached houses, terraced houses and owner-occupier apartments in multi-family houses built to tried and tested solid-construction high quality. We are interested in this context both in projects with just a few units as well as projects entailing up to one hundred apartments.

In the segment for individual detached houses, the approach is almost the same as at HELMA Eigenheimbau AG, except that the detached homes are built on land previously acquired by HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH. Target construction areas for such detached houses comprise up to 250 building plots, and are located in affluent suburbs of major cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, Leipzig and Munich, or in metropolitan areas with favourable transportation connections to city centres. We have established an extensive track record over the past decades in the greater metropolitan regions of Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover and Munich, and we offer Germany's largest unofficial showhouse parks with our construction area in Berlin-Karlshorst, where we have meanwhile built around 400 units, and a further building site in Berlin-Pankow with 110 units.

When developing preplanned apartments in semi-detached, terraced and multi-family houses, we initially select land that is appropriate in terms of the needs of the potential owner-occupiers, and capital investors and their tenants, on the basis of extensive market surveys. The projects are then preplanned, which also entails examining respective building law regulations. Depending on project scope, we also make recourse to support from external architects. After planning the entire construction and obtaining building approvals, marketing to individual investors occurs, or potential buyers are contacted directly, about a purchase of the entire residential real estate project. The building of the structure to solid construction methods is contracted out at a fixed price to either subcontractors or general contractors, depending on project scope. Our own project developers and construction engineers are responsible for controlling construction progress, thereby ensuring compliance with quality standards.

Holiday property development business – since 2011

Through HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH, the HELMA Group operates in the property development business for holiday homes. The focus here is on the development, planning and sale of holiday homes and apartments that are to be created at locations with good infrastructure development, predominantly on Germany's North Sea and Baltic coasts, as well as other attractive German seaside locations. Most of these properties will be sold to private customers for their own use, or as a capital investment. With the additional inclusion of strong partners for the further management of properties in the areas of rental, administration and caretaking service, we offer our customers an attractive all-inclusive package that comprises an important unique selling point.

Finance and building insurance broking for owner-occupier homes – since 2010

Through Hausbau Finanz GmbH, we offer an additional service to customers and prospective homebuyers through our own in-house financial advisory and broking service for building loans that is independent of particular banks. Hausbau Finanz GmbH also arranges building insurance, and commands an extensive customer base in both areas.

Order book

New order intake

During the first half of the 2016 financial year, the HELMA Group successfully continued the past years' very dynamic new order intake trend. Consolidated net new order intake was up by € 7.5 million to reach € 120.6 million in the first six months of the current financial year (H1 2015: € 113.1 million). This corresponds to new order intake growth of 7 %, to which especially the specialist property development subsidiaries HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH and HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH made valuable contributions, as planned.

We firmly assume that new order intake in the second half of 2016 will lie significantly ahead of new order intake during the first six months of the year, as in previous years. Compared with the 2015 financial year, when particularly the third quarter stood out with extraordinarily high new order intake volume, it is anticipated that new order intake in 2016 will be distributed more evenly over the individual quarters. On a full-year view, this would consequently establish a solid foundation for further revenue and earnings growth over the subsequent years.

Order book position

The HELMA Group's net order book position, which is composed of the net order book total held as of the balance sheet date, and consequently of orders that have not yet been finally settled, amounted to € 308.7 million as of June 30, 2016, thereby around € 71.6 million, or 30 %, above the previous year's figure. This amount includes revenues of € 120.9 million partially realised according to the percentage of completion method (June 30, 2015: € 80.9 million). As in previous years, the highest order book position in the company's history as of the mid-year stage comprises an excellent starting position for strong revenue growth in the second half of the year.

Business trends and profitability

Revenue trends

In the first half of 2016, the HELMA Group grew its revenue by around 34 % year-on-year, from € 77.0 million to € 103.0 million.

HELMA Eigenheimbau AG generated around 41 %, or € 41.9 million, of the total consolidated revenue during the first six months of the current financial year (H1 2015: € 33.5 million). This represents an increase of 25 %. The revenue of HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH also reported significant growth of € 10.9 million to € 51.1 million in the reporting period. The revenue of HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH consequently amounted to 50 % of total consolidated revenue. With revenue more than tripling from € 2.8 million to € 9.6 million, HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH recorded the highest percentage revenue growth rate. Its share of total consolidated revenue was up from 4 % to 9 % as a consequence. Revenue of € 0.4 million was generated at Hausbau Finanz GmbH during the first six months of the current financial year (H1 2015: € 0.5 million).

Earnings trends

Changes in inventories, which are significantly affected by disposals and additions of plots of land, amounted to € -6.0 million during the first half of the year. Larger additions of plots of land in the 2016 financial year are not expected until the second half of the year. The total output of the HELMA Group consequently stood at € 97.0 million in the reporting period, € 7.1 million down on the previous year's level (H1 2015: € 104.1 million). Given continued gratifying gross profit margins, half-yearly earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) consequently grew by 29 % to € 6.3 million.

Group revenue and group EBIT H1 2015-2016 (according to IFRS)

The net financial result amounted to € -1.1 million in the reporting period, leaving € 3.6 million of consolidated net income excluding minority interests (H1 2015: € 2.2 million). Earnings per share improved accordingly from € 0.61 to € 0.90. This corresponds to growth of around 48 %, reflecting the continued positive profitability trend at the HELMA Group.

Net assets and financial position

Assets

The total assets of the HELMA Group grew from € 245.0 million to € 249.2 million in the period under review. Non-current assets of € 18.8 million as of June 30, 2016 were up € 0.3 million compared with the end of the last financial year, chiefly reflecting an almost equivalent increase in property, plant and equipment. Current assets reported a further increase from € 226.5 million to € 230.4 million. This increase mainly reflected a higher level of receivables arising from construction orders and a rise in liquid assets.

Group balance sheet structure: assets (according to IFRS)

Equity and liabilities

On the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet, equity as of June 30, 2016 was up by € 3.6 million compared with the end of the last financial year to reach € 73.5 million. This corresponds to a 29.5 % equity ratio as of mid-2016 (December 31, 2015: 28.5 %).

Non-current liabilities increased from € 67.2 million to € 74.4 million in the period under review, equivalent to a 29.9 % share (December 31, 2015: 27.4 %). This growth is especially attributable to various land purchase financing facilities and the drawing down of a fixed interest KfW financing facility in an amount of € 10.0 million.

The remaining 40.6 % share of total equity and liabilities (December 31, 2015: 44.1 %) was attributable to current liabilities, which reduced by € 6.6 million to € 101.3 million as of June 30, 2016. This particularly reflected the reduction in other current provisions and a decrease in other current liabilities. Current financial liabilities rose from € 50.7 million to € 55.9 million in the reporting period, containing as their largest item the € 35.0 million corporate bond, which was called as of September 19, 2016 (see the report on events after the balance sheet date).

The net financial liabilities of the HELMA Group increased from € 98.6 million to € 107.7 million as of June 30, 2016. Equity also rose from € 69.9 million to € 73.5 million over the same period. The HELMA Group continues to command a very healthy capital structure with its net financial liabilities accounting for 43.2 % of total assets (December 31, 2015: 40.2 %), and a 29.5 % equity ratio (December 31, 2015: 28.5 %).

Cash flow statement

The HELMA Group's first-half operating profit is clearly evident when observing the cash earnings item in cash flows from operating activities, which amounted to € 5.6 million. Working capital also reported a further accumulation of € 13.6 million compared with the 2015 financial year-end. Cash flow from operating activities consequently amounted to € -8.0 million during the first six months of the year under review (H1 2015: € -17.4 million).

Cash flow from investing activities stood at € -1.1 million in the reporting period (H1 2015: € -0.6 million) due to year-on-year higher investments in land and buildings as well as operating and office equipment (see section on investments).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to € 11.1 million in the first half-year, reflecting various land purchase financing facilities and the aforementioned KfW financing facility.

The HELMA Group had € 14.5 million of financial funds as of the balance sheet date. In addition, free unutilised credit lines in a low double-digit amount in millions of euros are available. The financial position of the HELMA Group continues to be very solid as a consequence.

Investments

Investments in property, plant and equipment, and in intangible assets, amounted to around € 1.2 million in the period under review (H1 2015: € 0.7 million). In the land and buildings area, these were mainly attributable to the administrative building in Lehrte and the new showhouse in Chemnitz. In the area of operating and office equipment, most of the investments were made for new vehicles, IT hardware and office fittings. In the intangible assets area, investments were made in the purchase and further development of software.

Our investments in non-current assets in the second half of 2016 will continue to focus on the administrative building in Lehrte, vehicles that require replacement, the renovation of showhouses, and the purchase of IT hardware and software, as well as office equipment.

Employees and the company's boards

The number of employees in the HELMA Group has increased from 254 at the 2015 financial year-end to 267 as of June 30, 2016. The number of independent specialist advisers with whom we work together in the sales area at various locations on a commission basis has fallen in the house advisory area from 90 to 84. This slight reduction is attributable to the adjustment of the sales area of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG and the related withdrawal from large parts of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.

The number of independent specialist advisers in the financing advisory area was almost unchanged at 25.

Risk report

The Management Board has identified no risks to the company as a going concern. The disclosures made in the risk report contained in the Group financial statements for 2015 consequently continue to apply.

Report on events subsequent to the reporting date

Promissory note placing and call of HELMA bond

Under guarantee by HELMA Eigenheimbau AG, a € 25.5 million promissory note was placed on favourable terms for HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH in July 2016. The promissory note is split into two fixed interest tranches with five and seven year maturities, both begin on August 1, 2016. In addition, HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH already concluded a € 10.0 million five-year fixed interest KfW financing facility in the second quarter 2016. This financing volume carries an average term of around three years as a result of ongoing repayment while taking a repayment-free year into account. As a consequence, the HELMA Group has at its disposal a total further amount of uncollateralised financing resources of € 35.5 million with an average term of about 5 years at a weighted average interest rate of 2.5 % p.a.

Following the cash inflows from the promissory note transaction and the KfW financing facility, we decided on August 1, 2016 pursuant to Section 4 (c) of the bond terms to make early call as of September 19, 2016, of the existing € 35.0 million, 5.875 % coupon bond that was issued in 2013, and to repay it at 101 % of par.

The early call right was utilised to significantly reduce the annual interest costs connected with the bond of around € 2.1 million to approximately € 0.9 million.

Corporate rating raised to BBB+

Creditreform Rating AG upgraded the credit rating of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG from BBB to BBB+ in the corporate rating that it renewed on July 22, 2016. This rating result, which remains in the investment grade area, is above average compared to the overall economy and on a sector comparison, and underscores the high solidity and financial strength of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG.

Supervisory Board expansion

At the company's Ordinary AGM on July 1, 2016, the shareholders of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG elected Mr. Paul Heinrich Morzynski to the Supervisory Board. The election of Mr. Morzynski was preceded by the passing of a resolution concerning an amendment to the company's articles of incorporation to expand the Supervisory Board to four members.

Mr. Morzynski's period of office started with the entry of the amendment to the articles of incorporation in the commercial register on July 18, 2016 and ends with the conclusion of the AGM that approves the discharge of the Supervisory Board members for the 2018 financial year.

Dividend

A dividend of € 0.79 per share for the 2015 financial year was distributed on July 4, 2016.

Forecast report

The economic environment relevant for the residential and holiday properties sector that was described in the Group management report for the 2015 financial year remains positive.

In combination with the highest order book position in the company's history, we consequently confirm our revenue target for the 2016 financial year, for which we anticipate revenue growth of around € 49.4 million to a level of € 260.0 million. It continues to be assumed that all HELMA Group companies will make tangible contributions to this forecast revenue growth in 2016.

With a view to our existing projects pipeline, we also confirm our revenue guidance of € 340.0 million for the 2017 financial year, and of € 420.0 million for the 2018 financial year.

Group revenue 2011-2018e (according to IFRS)

Assuming that we achieve the aforementioned revenue level for the current financial year, we anticipate € 22.0 million of consolidated EBIT in 2016.
