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. This merely serves for information purposes and may contain words such as "intend", "aim", "expect", "plan", "forecast", "assume" or "appraise". These forward-looking 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 and its subsidiaries intend 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.

Note on rounded amounts and percentages

Slight differences can occur in the summation of amounts and percentages in this presentation due to commercial rounding.

3. Sustainability

Ecological and social responsibility

Reducing CO2 emissions

The houses and apartments that we realise each year achieve CO2 emission reductions of > 200,000 tons* in comparison with the average building stock.

*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.

3. Sustainability

Energy self-sufficient multi-family houses

  • Energy self-sufficient multi-family houses as a showcase project were awarded with the German Solar Prize.
  • Photovoltaic modules and solar thermal collectors enable the greatest possible self-sufficiency in electricity and heat.
  • Reduction of CO2 emissions of around 84 % compared with multi-family houses constructed according to the currently valid standard for the German Building Energy Act (GEG).

4. Market environment

Positive framework data

Trend towards living in high-growth metropolitan regions

Low homeownership rate of 45 % in Germany

Real estate enjoys high status as a retirement provision and as capital investment

Good financing conditions and attractive promotion of energy-efficient construction methods

5. Order book position

HELMA Group new order intake and order book position

  • Record order book position as of December 31, 2020 represents very good starting position for 2021.

Significant growth in new orders, especially at HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH.

Over the course of the year HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH was unable to fully offset the pandemic-related decline in new order intake in H1 2020.

Revenue and earnings performance

  • Despite pandemic-related effects, revenue grew in 2020.
  • EBT forecast of August 13, 2020 (€ 14.0–17.0 million) significantly exceeded.
  • Earnings per share of € 3.84 achieved in 2020 (2019: € 4.04).

  • HELMA Eigenheimbau, HELMA Ferienimmobilien and Hausbau Finanz all report significant revenue growth.
  • Lower revenue at HELMA Wohnungsbau in H1 2020, particularly reflecting pandemic-related reductions in orders and slight postponements of various construction starts.

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.

  • 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 € 41.2 million as of December 31, 2020 form an excellent foundation on which to expand the high-margin property development business.
  • For land purchases, most of the purchase price is paid usually depending on the building permit in order to reduce risk.
  • Sustained margin increase expected due to favourable initial investment conditions and noticeable development gains.

Revenue potential of € 1.8 billion from realised land purchases as of December 31, 2020

  • Core region HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH: individual detached houses, pre-planned semi-detached and terraced houses as well as owner-occupied apartments in each case including land plots
  • Extended core region HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH: individual detached houses including land plots
  • Project region HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH

  • 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.

  • 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 %)

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 was around 2.23 % p.a. and is thus clearly below the average financing costs of the relevant competition.
