Last 3 years (annualised) -31.9% -20.1% -27.2%
Last 5 years (annualised) -16.3% -5.0% -14.2%

(1) Return on Equity = Total Comprehensive Income (IFRS) for the period / brought forward equity (IFRS) for start of the period, annualised.

(2) Total Shareholder Return = Movement in share price, dividend adjusted, annualised using XIRR formula.

(3) NAV per share in NOK = Movement in NAV per share (IFRS) converted to NOK at closing dates, dividend-adjusted, annualised using XIRR formula.

These return rations are Alternative Performance Measures, and are presented in accordance with ESMA's "Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures" from 2015. These are reliably measured and the company considers these relevant, because different stakeholders might consider different NAV per share in NOK and Total Shareholder Return relevant alternative performance measures.

Financial information

(all following numbers are in USD)

Summary

  • The group had a total comprehensive income in Q1 of 2.8 million, compared with -2.6 million for Q1 2016.
  • Increase of the carrying value of the investment property Gasfield totals 2.1 million in Q1 2017, according to valuations by independent appraiser, Cushman & Wakefield. This value adjustment is predominately due to the strengthening of the Russian rouble in the period, and cannot be considered recurring.
  • Due to the rental situation following the termination notice from the anchor tenant and the current market situation, the future liquidity situation is uncertain. The company has therefore made an arrangement with the lender to ensure longer visibility of cash flows.
  • The lender has agreed to waive covenants and amortisations until September 2018, and to extend the maturity of the loan until June 2019. In return, the company has agreed to make an extraordinary amortization of USD 3 million, which will be raised by means of a share issue in June 2017. This has been put forward to the Annual General Meeting on 11 May 2017.
  • Revenues from the investment property in Russia were 1.8 million in the quarter. This compares with 1.4 million for the same period last year.
  • Borrowing costs were 0.5 million in the quarter (2016: 0.6 million), including interest rate swaps.

Accounting for value change on investment property:

In accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS) the movement in value of investment property are split over two separate posts, explained by the following: Our Russian subsidiaries which own the buildings have Russian roubles as functional currency. According to IFRS, only the part of the fair value adjustment which can be attributed to RUB is presented over the Income Statement. The effect of currency exchange movements between RUB and USD is presented as Other Comprehensive Income and is included in term Total Comprehensive Income. We see Total Comprehensive Income as the most relevant profit measure for the group. In every quarter we present an explanatory statement of the fair value adjustment:

Change in value, million USD 3M 2017 3M 2016
Over income statement -0,2 -0,4
Translation difference over
Other Comprehensive Income
+2,3 +0,1
Sum value adjustments properties +2,1 -0,3

Balance sheet

  • The investment property Gasfield is recorded at 33.1 million. The building's valuation in accordance with valuation obtained from an independent valuer is 32.6 million. In addition, values of contract derivatives and land leases are recognised with 0.5 million.
  • On the closing date, the group had a cash balance of 4.4 million. All other liquid investments were realised in 2016.
  • The group has made provisions of 0.9 million in deferred tax. The vast majority of deferred tax relates to the value adjustment on the investment property Gasfield, after acquisition date and measured in Russian roubles. The deferred tax could become payable on a potential realisation of the building, while a potential realisation of shares in the property-owning subsidiaries could result in lower tax or no taxes.
  • The group's equity ratio is 36%.
  • The Company's NAV per share in NOK is NOK 6.42 per 31 March 2017.

The company's risk is considered very high. The situation in Russia is demanding. Large vacancy in the market combined with expiring leases could lead to a shortfall on future cash flow. Following the notice of termination from the anchor tenant in the Gasfield building, future cash flow and ability to meet future liabilities within maturity dates is dependent on sourcing new tenants, and also a successful raising of new capital to achieve the planned adjustments to the company's bank loan.

For other business risks than described above, please refer to the company's annual report for 2016.

Macro snapshot

  • Although the recession is over, the recovery of the Russian economy is modest. Market commentators expect a growth rate of 1.2% in 2017.
  • Coinciding with an increase in oil prices, the Russian currency strengthened further in Q1 2017. The Russian Rouble has strengthened against the US Dollar with c.8% since year end. A stronger rouble gives higher revenues for foreign investors.
  • Inflation rate is at 4.3% at the end of Q1 2017, the lowest inflation rate since June 2012
  • Unemployment is down from 5.3% at the year end to 4.3% at the end of Q1 2017.

Real Estate Market

  • 0.6 billion EUR was invested in commercial properties in Q1 2017. For comparison, the invested volume for 2016 was 3.9 billion EUR.
  • Prime yields stand at 10.5% for offices.
  • Foreign investments have showed signs of returning to the Russian market. In 2016 foreign investors accounted only for 6% of the market. In Q1 2017 their share was 25%.
  • Demand for offices exceeds new supply. In Q1 2017 the take-up of offices was 589,000 sq.m., the highest recorded quarterly volume since Q2 2012. New supply continues to be low. Only 21,000 sq.m. new construction was delivered to the market in Q1 2017.
  • The small volume of new construction together with the demand for high-quality offices has led to a reduction in vacancy. In Q1 2017 the overall average vacancy rate decreased by 2.8%.
  • The vacancy in class B buildings is approx. 13.2%. For class A buildings the vacancy is approx. 19.8%.
  • Registered rent levels have been stable since last year.
  • Tenants seek rental agreements in Russian roubles instead of US dollar.

Bank loan

The company's lender has in its credit committee on 31/03/2017 granted amended terms to the company's loan agreement.

The amended terms include

  • postponement of the maturity date to June 2019
  • no amortisation up to and including Q3 2018
  • waiving of covenants up to and including Q3 2018,
  • adjusted covenants for the period Q4 2018 to maturity, adapted to the changed market conditions in Russia.

The covenants from Q4 2018 include an Interest Service Ratio on Russia level of 1.1x, and quarterly amortisations at USD 0.3 million. LTV and equity ratio covenants remain at 70% and 20%, respectively.

These amendments are subject to that the company obtains new capital of at least USD 3 million, to be paid to the bank as an extraordinary amortisation within 15/07/2017, and also subject to entering into formal documentation. The Board has made a proposal for a capital increase to the shareholders in a General Meeting on 11 May 2017. These amended terms provide the company with better visibility and ability to meet its loan obligations.
