The key driver for the record first quarter was a profitable transaction with a new portfolio of approx. 1,500 ground leases. VIVACON AG intends to continue to acquire additional portfolios of ground lease rights for future resale or securitization.
Due to its project oriented business model VIVACON AG historically had very volatile quaterly results, whereas the bulk of the annual business volume usually is recorded in the second half-year.
