*HELMA LUX S.A. was merged with HELMA Eigenheimbau AG in 2014. The revenue of HELMA LUX S.A. in FY 2013 is included in the figures for HELMA Eigenheimbau AG.

High-margin property development business is increasing in importance.

Trends in cost ratios to revenue

  • Cost of materials ratio constantly at a good level below 80 %.
  • Trend towards higher materials expense ratio and declining personnel expense ratio due to increased property development business's share of group revenue (land shares are more material intensive, but less labor intensive).

Trends in profit margins

  • Adjusted EBIT margin established within the range of 7-10 %.
  • Return on sales at a high level of approx. 5 % stabilised.

Solid financial position with equity ratio above the sector average

  • Higher total assets due to increase in inventories.
  • High inventories including land recognised as current assets at cost prices (principle of lowest value) secures continued growth of high-margin property development business.
  • Equity base well above the average sector level enables financing land purchases through land acquisition financing facilities with favourable interest rates.
  • Current financial liabilities mainly comprise financing facilities for land and projects. As it is to be assumed that these financing facilities will be repaid through the final acquirer's purchase price payments within the next twelve months, these liabilities are to be presented as current financial liabilities irrespective of the actual financing term.

Growth potential from the residential property development business

Berlin / Potsdam region

  • Population growth of 9.9% (Berlin) and 4.3% (Potsdam) expected from 2015 to 2030.
  • Strong incentive for people to buy their own home due to comparatively low home ownership ratios and strong rental growth (Berlin rents up 11% year-onyear in 2017).
  • Berlin Senate's decision not to establish new construction plans to develop detached houses in the city of Berlin shifts demand to surrounding regions.

Hamburg / Hanover region

  • Hamburg reports the highest gross value creation compared to other major German cities = many well-paid jobs
  • Population growth of 11.1% (Hamburg) and 1.5% (Hanover) expected in the 2015 to 2030 period.
  • Hanover city population growth of 32,700 inhabitants in the last ten years. Only 6,080 new homes constructed in the same period, however.

Growth potential from the residential property development business

Leipzig region

  • Major German city reporting the strongest percentage growth: net inflow of 27.4 individuals per 1,000 inhabitants (as of 2015).
  • East Germany's growth island: Population growth of 15.1% expected in the 2015 to 2030 period.

Munich region

  • Almost zero void ratio for residential real estate.
  • Population growth of 18.3% expected in the 2015 to 2030 period.
  • Extremely dynamic labour market with very low unemployment rates and high proportion of graduates.

Growth potential from the holiday property development business

  • German holiday regions becoming ever more popular as vacation destinations.
  • Growing importance of holiday properties as capital investments.
  • From German investors' perspective, their own country is the most popular location for a holiday property investment, accounting for a 57.3% share (Spain: 9.2%; Austria: 7.2%).
  • The German coasts dominate the domestic investment market. One third of all real estate purchases in Germany since 2011 are attributable to the North and Baltic sea regions.

Revenue potential from realised land purchases as of December 31, 2017

  • Property development subsidiaries exhibit € 1,179.0 million of revenue potential; most of this can be realised within the next five years.
  • HELMA Eigenheimbau AG should contribute at least € 100.0 million per year to consolidated revenue in the mediumterm, without any own land plots needed.

Earnings expected to grow significantly

  • Consolidated EBT up more than tenfold between 2010 and 2016.
  • 2017 EBT established at 2016 record level, and structures and processes successfully adapted to enable further sustainable growth.
  • Based on its attractive pipeline of land plots, the company is aiming for double-digit annual percentage growth rates for its consolidated EBT.
