Q2 2020 results – Highlights

Net Asset Value (NAV)

  • Net Asset value was EUR 0.45 (NOK 4.78 before tax) per share, that being about 0.3% higher compared to the end of the first quarter 2020.
  • The year-end 2020 valuation was concluded by Knight Frank in February 2020, and therefore no further changes were made to the value of the investment properties during the quarter.

Operational highlights

  • On the Lakeside plot (No.1 on the list) the contract for the electrical connection of the area was signed.
  • Industrial Park (No. 4 on the list) Building authorization for the road and utilities has been obtained by the Company. This is important due to significant NATO infrastructure investment in the nearby area.
  • During the first quarter 2020, the Company entered into a sale agreement for 4 plots at Lakeside, for a total consideration EUR 565,000, paid in full.
  • By 14 May 2020, EUR 1.99 million (ex VAT) was invested in infrastructure, primarily in Industrial Park and Lakeside.
  • Due to very recent legislation, and according to our tax advisors' understanding, the worst-case payment in the on-going tax case dispute is expected to be reduced from the original EUR 1.7m to about EUR 1.05m, being a reduction of about EUR 0.65m. This amount of EUR 1.05m is still to be contested by the Company.

Main focus areas going forward

  • RomReal, according to the strategy, is focusing on land value enhancing activities in order to improve the shareholder value and exit.
  • This includes, among others, increased sales & marketing efforts, and if deemed required some infra-structure investments, and more resources into regulation processes.
  • Preliminary data suggests that the residential real estate prices and volume of transactions have not been materially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • While certain areas of the country were more affected, there are 8 counties, including Bucharest, where the number of transactions during the first 5 months of 2020 exceeded the volume compared to the same period last year. RomReal's Management is conducting business as usual on the ground and according to strategy, however in a short-term perspective the likelihood on new significant sales is somewhat reduced.
