Comment on forward-looking statements

The information published in this presentation relating to the future development of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG and its subsidiaries refers only to forecasts and estimates and thus not to given historic facts.

*Calculated on the basis of a useful life of 50 years, similar to that taken as the basis for the rate of depreciation of buildings.

Social responsibility

We are committed to supporting social institutions that assist children, young people and families in difficult situations.

Sustainable resource utilisation

As a member of the German Working Group for Environmentally Conscious Management (B.A.U.M.) and the Sonnenhaus Institute, we actively participate in the development and application of sustainable and resource-conserving energy concepts.

4. Sustainability

Trends in cost ratios to revenue

  • Disproportionately low revenue growth due to pandemic leads to higher cost ratios.
  • Increase in personnel expenses in anticipation of a significant revenue growth in order to ensure the continued high-quality realisation of our products.

Trends in profit margins to revenue

  • Gross profit margin remains at a high level due to above-average margins on various property development projects.
  • Earnings figures would be at least at the previous year's level without the pandemic-related reduction in revenue.

Strong financial position with equity ratio above the sector average

  • Increase in inventories including land plots 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 and/or working capital facilities with favourable interest rates.
  • Current financial liabilities comprise, among others, financing facilities for land and projects. As it is to be assumed that these financing facilities will be repaid through the 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.

  • Land plots held as inventory (recognised at lower of cost or market) as well as further contractually secured land plots with a purchase price volume of € 51.5 million as of June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020: € 41.2 million) form an excellent foundation on which to expand the high-margin property development business.
  • Most of the purchase price for land plots is usually paid after the building rights have been established, which significantly reduces risk as well as capital intensity.
  • The purchase of the property volume recognised as of June 30, 2021 was realised approximately four years ago on average.

7. Project pipeline

  • Property development subsidiaries exhibit € 1.8 billion of revenue potential; most of this can be realised within the next 5 to 7 years.
  • HELMA Eigenheimbau AG is expected to generate annual revenue of around € 125 million for which it does not need its own land.

8. Forecast

  • Based on the highest order book position in the company's history and the very attractive project pipeline, a significant increase in revenue, earnings and margins is expected in the medium term in conjunction with the current megatrends in the residential and holiday property markets.
  • The following key figures are to be achieved by FY 2024 at the latest:
    • Revenue > € 400 million (2020: € 274 million)
    • Earnings before taxes (EBT) > € 40 million (2020: € 22.5 million)
    • EBT margin > 10 % (2020: 8.2 %)

8. Forecast

Financing strategy

Equity base well above the average sector level as basis for further corporate growth

Operating cash flow from current projects and retained profits

Land purchase finance arrangements with various, mainly long-standing, partner banks

Use of unsecured credit lines for temporary current financing made available by a broad spectrum of banks

Capital market transactions or promissory note issues comprise additional options where required

The average interest rate of the financial liabilities of the HELMA Group as of the balance sheet date (06/30/2021) was around 2.13 % p.a. and is thus clearly below the average financing costs of the relevant competition.
