Performance of the HELMA share

The HELMA share started the 2017 stock market year at a price of € 51.20. After we informed the capital market in an ad hoc announcement on February 23, 2017 about the record result achieved in 2016 and at the same time announced the reduction of our growth forecast for the 2017 and 2018 financial years, the HELMA share incurred share price reductions of up to 25% in large trading volumes in the subsequent days, falling to a share price level below € 40.00 for the first time since February 2016. Sideways movements characterised the performance of the HELMA share in the following weeks, before an upturn was established at the end of May 2017 and the HELMA share recovered some of its price level as of the end of the half-year.

The closing price of the HELMA share in XETRA trading on June 30, 2017 stood at € 43.20.

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 within these cities with favourable transportation connections to city centres. We have established an extensive track record over the past decades in major metropolitan regions such as Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover and Munich, and we offer Germany's largest unofficial showhouse parks with our construction area in Berlin – Karlshorst, where around 400 units have meanwhile been constructed, and a further building site in Berlin – Pankow with 110 units.

When developing preplanned units 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

The HELMA Group achieved a new order intake of € 116.3 million in the first half of 2017 (H1 2016: € 120.6 million). This represents a slight year-on-year decrease of 3.6 %. While both HELMA Eigenheimbau AG and its subsidiary HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH report significant growth in the reporting period, new order intake at the subsidiary HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH was down year-on-year, as expected, exclusively reflecting the concentration of the sales starts for numerous projects during the second half of 2017.

Overall, as of the midyear stage we thereby lie within our planned new order intake range, as we published in our management report in March 2017. Equally, we confirm the expectation described in the management report of new order intake being considerably higher in the second half of 2017 than during the first six months of the year, as in previous years.

Order book position

The HELMA Group's order book position as per IFRS amounted to € 197.7 million as of June 30, 2017, around € 9.9 million above the previous year's level. This figure does not include € 154.6 million of revenue (June 30, 2016: € 120.9 million) from current building projects, which is already realised proportionally under IFRS. As in previous years, the highest IFRS order book position in the company's history as of the mid-year stage comprises a good starting position for strong revenue growth in the second half of the year.

Business trends and profitability

Revenue trends

In the first half of 2017, the HELMA Group grew its revenue by around 7 % year-on-year, from € 103.0 million to € 110.1 million.

HELMA Eigenheimbau AG generated around 34 %, or € 37.7 million, of the total consolidated revenue during the first six months of the current financial year (H1 2016: € 41.9 million). This represents a decrease of 10 %. The revenue of HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH, by contrast, reported growth of 11 %, or € 5.4 million, to € 56.5 million in the reporting period. The revenue of HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH consequently amounted to 51 % of total consolidated revenue. With an approximately 60 % increase in revenue from € 9.6 million to € 15.3 million, HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH recorded the highest percentage revenue growth rate. Its share of total consolidated revenue was up from 9 % to 14 % as a consequence. Revenue of € 0.5 million was generated at Hausbau Finanz GmbH during the first six months of the current financial year (H1 2016: € 0.4 million).

Earnings trends

Hereinafter and departing from the consolidated statement of total comprehensive income, earning trends of the HELMA Group are adjusted for the disposal of capitalised interest to facilitate an optimal comparison, independent of potential influences from changes in the general interest-rate level. Interest costs that can be directly attributed to a project are to be capitalised. Once the respective projects are realised, the capitalised interest are deducted from inventories and recognised through consolidated statement of total comprehensive income as inventory-reducing transactions.

Changes in stocks of finished goods and work in progress adjusted for the disposal of capitalised interest, which are significantly affected by disposals and additions of plots of land, amounted to € 12.2 million during the first half of the 2017 year. Further additions of land plots are also anticipated in the second half of the 2017 financial year. The adjusted total output of the HELMA Group consequently stood at € 122.3 million in the reporting period, € 25.3 million above the previous year's level (H1 2016: € 97.0 million). Given continued good gross profit margins, consolidated EBIT adjusted for the disposal of capitalised interest rose by € 0.2 million to € 6.6 million.

Group revenue and adjusted Group EBIT (according to IFRS)

The net financial result amounted to € -0.4 million in the reporting period, leaving € 4.0 million of consolidated net income after minority interests (H1 2016: € 3.6 million). Earnings per share improved accordingly from € 0.90 to € 1.00. This corresponds to growth of around 11 %.

Net assets and financial position

Assets

The total assets of the HELMA Group grew from € 278.2 million to € 301.2 million in the period under review. Non-current assets of € 18.2 million as of June 30, 2017 were down by € 0.3 million compared with the financial year-end, reflecting a € 0.2 million increase in other intangible assets, and a € 0.6 million reduction in property, plant and equipment. Current assets reported a further rise from € 259.7 million to € 283.0 million. This increase is mainly due to a higher level in inventories as a result of additions of land plots and a rise in receivables from construction orders.

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, 2017 was up by € 4.0 million compared with the end of the last financial year to reach € 84.2 million. This corresponds to a 28.0 % equity ratio as of mid-2017 (December 31, 2016: 28.8 %).

Non-current liabilities increased from € 112.3 million to € 135.7 million in the period under review, equivalent to a 45.0 % share (December 31, 2016: 40.4 %). The increase is especially attributable to a promissory note with a long-term maturity placed in the first half of 2017. The promissory note is divided into a 5-year tranche of € 20.0 million at an interest rate of 2.536 % p.a., and a 7-year tranche of € 7.0 million at an interest rate of 3.142 % p.a..

The remaining 27.0 % share of total equity and liabilities (December 31, 2016: 30.8 %) was attributable to current liabilities, which reduced by € 4.4 million to € 81.3 million as of June 30, 2017. This particularly reflected the reduction in other current provisions and a decrease in other current liabilities. Current financial liabilities increased from € 32.4 million to € 46.6 million in the reporting period. The largest items in this context are land and project financing facilities that are repaid through the final acquirers' purchase price payments. As it is to be assumed that these liabilities will be repaid within the next twelve months, these are to be presented as current financial liabilities irrespective of the actual financing term.

Group balance sheet structure: equity and liabilities (according to IFRS)

The net financial liabilities of the HELMA Group increased from € 124.3 million to € 161.3 million as of June 30, 2017. Equity also rose from € 80.2 million to € 84.2 million over the same period. The HELMA Group continues to command a very healthy capital structure with its net financial liabilities accounting for 53.6 % of total assets (December 31, 2016: 44.7 %), and a 28.0 % equity ratio (December 31, 2016: 28.8 %).

Along with the rise in net financial liabilities from € 124.3 million to € 161.3 million, the inventory position, which includes project land measured at the lower of cost or market, rose from € 173.8 million to € 192.2 million. Inventories thereby exceed net financial liabilities by € 30.9 million as of the balance sheet date.

Changes in net debt and inventories

Cash flow statement

The HELMA Group's positive operating profit generated in the period under review is clearly evident when observing the cash earnings item in cash flows from operating activities, which amounted to € 4.4 million. In addition, the working capital required for the planned further revenue growth in the property development business was expanded by € 40.8 million compared with the 2016 financial year-end through additional land plot purchases, among others. Cash flow from operating activities consequently amounted to € -36.4 million during the first six months of the year under review (H1 2016: € -8.0 million).

Cash flow from investing activities stood at € -0.6 million in the reporting period (H1 2016: € -1.1 million) due to year-on-year lower investments in land and buildings as well as operating and office equipment (see section on investments).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to € 38.1 million in the first half-year, reflecting various land purchase financing facilities and the aforementioned promissory note.

The HELMA Group had € 12.4 million of financial funds as of the balance sheet date. In addition, free unutilized 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 € 1.0 million in the period under review (H1 2016: € 1.2 million). In the land and buildings area, these were mainly attributable to the administrative building in Lehrte and a land purchase. In the area of office and operating equipment, most of the investments were made for new vehicles, IT hardware and software as well as 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 2017 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, and office equipment. Moreover, once the business spaces we are currently creating as part of the "Wohnen im Park" project in Berlin-Karlshorst are completed, we will consider transferring them on a proportional basis to our non-current assets for the purposes of our own long-term office use.

The Supervisory Board of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG decided on June 28, 2017 to appoint Mr. André Müller, a graduate of construction engineering sciences, to the company's Management Board for a period of five years. André Müller will start his work as a member of the Management Board of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG at the latest as of January 1, 2019 and will assume responsibility for the technical area. As a consequence, the Management Board of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG will in future comprise Management Board Chairman Karl-Heinz Maerzke and Management Board members Gerrit Janssen, Max Bode and André Müller.

Supervisory Board

  • Otto W. Holzkamp (Chairman)
  • Sven Aßmann (Deputy Chairman)
  • Dr. Peter Plathe
  • Paul Heinrich Morzynski

The Supervisory Board members' period of office ends with the conclusion of the AGM that approves the discharge of the Supervisory Board members for the 2018 financial year.

Risk report

No significant changes with respect to the risks pertaining to the future development of the business have arisen since the start of the financial year. 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 2016 consequently continue to apply.

Report on events subsequent to the reporting date

No events of particular significance occurred after the balance sheet date.

Dividend

A dividend of € 1.10 per share for the 2016 financial year was distributed on July 12, 2017.

Forecast report

The economic environment relevant for the residential and holiday properties sector that was described in the Group management report for the 2016 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 2017 financial year. With a view to our existing projects pipeline, we also confirm our revenue guidance for the 2018 and 2019 financial years.

In this context, we continue to anticipate an EBIT margin adjusted for the disposal of capitalised interest in a range between 7.0 % and 10.0 % for the aforementioned planning period. As already communicated in the 2016 Group management report, the margin in 2017 will prospectively lie within the lower third of the range.

Comment on forward-looking statements

The information published in this report relating to the future development of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG refers only to forecasts and estimates and thus not to given historic facts. This merely serves for information purposes and may contain words such as "intend", "aim", "expect", "plan", "forecast", "assume" or "appraise". These forwardlooking statements rely on the information, facts and expectations available to us at present, and therefore only apply at the point in time of their publishing.

Forward-looking statements are generally prone to uncertainties and risk factors difficult to estimate in their impact. The actual results and development of the company could therefore materially deviate from the forecasts. HELMA Eigenheimbau AG intends to monitor and update the published data at all times. Nevertheless, the company is not responsible for adapting the forward-looking statements to later events and developments. As a result, it is neither expressly nor actually liable for and does not assume any guarantee for the timeliness, accuracy and completeness of this data and information.
