PRESS RELEASE Regulated information Brussels, 24 March 2017 at 8.30 AM
IMMOBEL posts net income of EUR 52.5 million for 2016.
This result is mainly due to flagship projects such as Black Pearl, RAC 2 and Gateway, which were sold or delivered in December 2016.
The Board of Directors of IMMOBEL will propose to the General Meeting to grant a gross dividend of EUR 2 per share to the shareholders for financial year 2016, an amount that will increase by 4 till 10% a year subject to the absence of any currently unforeseen exceptional events.
In 2017, numerous development projects have been or will be launched in Belgium (Prince Royal, Greenhill Park, Universalis Park, O'Sea, among others), in Luxembourg (Infinity, Polvermillen) and in Poland (Granaria Island).
The new IMMOBEL group, following the merger between ALLFIN and IMMOBEL on 29 June 2016, published its annual results on December 31st 2016, which reached a record high with net consolidated accounts totalling EUR 52.5 million.
This amount includes one‐off accounting impacts linked to the merger, which have contributed EUR 14.9 million to the annual results. As a going concern, the net results would hence be established at EUR 37.6 million.
The year 2016 was marked by the sale of the office projects Black Pearl (11,000 m² in Brussels) and RAC 2 (9,500 m² in Brussels, 40% IMMOBEL stake), and by the delivery and sale of Gateway (35,000 m² in Zaventem, 50% IMMOBEL stake).
Residential activities have remarkably contributed to the annual results, notably thanks to the following projects: Chambon (42,452 m² in the centre of Brussels), Lake Front (12,000 m² in Knokke‐Heist), and Flint (4,129 m² in Leuven, 65% IMMOBEL stake). Landbanking activities have also experienced a record year with 273 plots and units sold, representing a turnover of EUR 16.2 million.
Alexander Hodac, managing director, comments: "These exceptional figures are the result of the remarkable work by the teams who have shown unwavering determination and enthusiasm. In fact, 2016 was also marked by a complex merger process during which each staff member has shown a spirit beyond reproach. The new team is in place and together we will ensure IMMOBEL's continuity and growth."
On the occasion of IMMOBEL's first annual post‐merger release, the company and its Executive Chairman of the Board Marnix Galle would like to take advantage of this opportunity to share the conclusions of 2016 and the main prospects for the coming years.
2106 should be a year of transition for IMMOBEL with all attention being devoted to the problems of the merger.
The priority par excellence was to create a dynamic for several projects that have dragged on for years, capital sinks, and lease and sell fully finished office buildings.
The fantastic qualities of the combined teams and our new employees have led to an unprecedented dynamism and results.
Our other strategic objectives were to consolidate our position in our various markets: (i) keep residential up to date, (ii) strengthen Landbanking and find added value for it, (iii) continue our Luxembourg success, (iv) monitor Poland for its qualities and results, strengthen the division and set up a residential department.
Leased office buildings that had already been for sale for years were sold (Westside in Luxembourg, Okraglak in Poland). Black Pearl was leased to the European Commission and sold. RAC 2, an office building that had been completed two years ago, was leased to the Brussels Capital Region and sold with a record yield. Gateway, at Brussels Airport, leased to Deloitte, was completed and finally sold to Befimmo.
Angels were extracted from urban development and economically difficult projects (Parc Seny, Chien Vert, Nivelles, Tervuren, ...). The work on the massive Universalis Park project consisting of more than 100,000 m² was started with a very successful start of sales. The construction permit for the equally ambitious O'Sea project in Ostend was obtained and the structures were assigned for a first phase. Chambon ‐ winner of Best Refurbished Building at MIPIM Awards 2017 ‐ (former ASLK site in the centre of Brussels) and the first phase of Ernest (Solvay site in Ixelles) were finished and are almost sold out.
You cannot sell the same property twice. The forefront of our five‐year business plan will result in 2017 being a year with less profit, where more can be sown than harvested.
The start‐up of several major projects is under construction: Ernest phase 2, O'Sea in Ostend, Infinity at Kirchberg (in Luxembourg) and the Polvermillen site in the centre of Luxembourg, etc…
The completion and letting of the headquarters of ING Luxembourg (Galerie Kons) with its sale to AXA is planned for end of March.
Despite its superb location in Warsaw, the Cedet project needs special attention. The complex work on this listed building will exceed the planned overall budget. Contrary to our initial business plan, the completion is currently scheduled for the first half of 2018 instead of 2017. The margin on this project should meet expectations. CBD One, which is one of the best located office buildings in Warsaw is also experiencing a delay. All permits have been obtained but a third party is formulating privatisation claims on the street alongside the project. The intention is now to commence work in 2018.
The 60,000 m² mixed‐use project in Gdansk is going extremely well with a provisional pre‐sale of a hotel and the selling of many apartments.
The Polish team is being drastically reorganised. The Belgian senior team is now going to check biweekly to give assistance and make adjustments.
Luxembourg is going extremely well. The team has been doubled to 15 people and will continue to grow given the major and lucrative projects that we have there.
The years 2018, 2019 and 2020 should be peak years which form the culmination of our existing pipelines and the strategies developed. Green Hill Park, two projects in Knokke‐Heist, first and second phase of O'Sea, Infinity, Polvermillen, Centre Etoile, Cedet, CBD One, Granaria Island, Ernest, Universalis Park, RAC 4 and Parc Seny should all be in various states of completion or sales should have been made. The iconic 40,000 m² building in the Sablon district of Brussels and the 50,000 m² site at the Place de Brouckère should have started. The Allianz headquarters should have been delivered to the Brussels North station.
The Board of Directors has confirmed its intention to propose a recurring and increasing dividend to Shareholders.
It will propose to the General Meeting to grant a gross dividend of EUR 2 per share to the Shareholders for financial year 2016, an amount that will increase by 4 till 10% a year subject to the absence of any currently unforeseen exceptional events.
Finally, the Board of Directors wishes to allocate 1% of net profits to charitable causes around three themes: culture, social inclusion and health. A special body will be set up to analyse and select the different causes.

Consolidated own funds amounted to EUR 314.9 million, or an 'own funds on total balance sheet' ratio of 40% (compared to 38% as at 31 December 2015 for IMMOBEL SA before merger), which proves IMMOBEL's financial soundness.
Following the merger between ALLFIN (who held 29.85% of IMMOBEL shares before the merger) and IMMOBEL, the merged IMMOBEL entity today holds a total of 1,230,398 own shares. In compliance with IAS 32, these own shares are presented after deduction of the equity (with a value of EUR 55.4 million). These own shares have neither voting rights nor dividend rights, which results in increasing the shareholders' earnings‐per‐share by 12%.
The liabilities on the balance sheet are mainly made up of bank debt in the long term (EUR 221.6 million) and in the short term (EUR 68.4 million) as well as bond debt (EUR 97.4 million).
