Press release
HAMBORNER REIT AG:
Annual report 2009 - Positive business development confirmed
- Rental and leasing income increased,
- FFO increase by 12.7%,
- Continuing comfortable financial funding
Duisburg, 25 March 2010 - After the disclosure of preliminary figures on
22.02.2010, HAMBORNER REIT AG was today able to confirm the positive
development of the financial year 2009 at the press conference in Frankfurt
am Main with publication of the annual report.
The company has successfully held its ground in a still difficult market
environment and can look back on a by and large satisfactory financial
year. The rental and leasing income has increased by 13.7% to EUR 22.4
million compared with the previous year through further acquisitions. The
average vacancy rate shows a familiarly low level at 3.5% or 1.1% after
rent guarantees.
The earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
amount to EUR 16.9 million (previous year: EUR 31.0 million) and also the
profit for the financial year is perceptibly in the positive area at EUR
5.1 million (previous year: EUR 17.3 million). As the previous year was
characterised by high book profits due to sales, the current earnings
figures are not comparable with the figures of the previous year. Adjusted
for sales proceeds and as a key figure for the operational business
development, the FFO (Funds from Operations) at 42.3 cents per share shows
a significant increase of 12.7% compared with the previous year (37.5 cents
per share). Moreover, in a consistently difficult market environment, the
property portfolio has proven to be comparatively stable. Due to the annual
external revaluation of the property portfolio, the net asset value (NAV)
of the company at EUR 10.37 per share has only moderately reduced by 1.9%
compared with the previous year (EUR 10.57 per share).
With a cash balance of approximately EUR 38 million, a Loan-To-Value (LTV)
of 34.3% and an equity ratio of 67.1%, which is considerably above the 45%
required in accordance with the German REIT Act, the company is very well
equipped for further growth. A dividend increase from 35 cents to 37 cents
compared with the previous year is proposed to the general shareholders'
meeting on 10 June 2010.
The company expects stimulation for future development due to the
conversion into a REIT. The share is listed in the REIT segment of Deutsche
Börse since 22.02.2010. HAMBORNER wishes to exploit its opportunities on
the property transactions market through acquisitions. A further increase
in the FFO and thus a continuation of the good operating business
development is anticipated for 2010.
