annual result/preliminary figures
München (euro adhoc) - Fair Value REIT-AG achieves substantial growth in
earnings in 2011 according to preliminary figures and pays out dividend
* Consolidated net income up EUR 2.4 million to EUR 4.6 million (previous year:
EUR 2.2 million)
* Funds from operations (FFO) total EUR 5.6 million as anticipated (previous
year: EUR 5.8 million)
* REIT equity ratio increases to 50.8% (previous year: 49.4%)
* Dividend of EUR 0.08 per share planned for 2011
Munich, February 27, 2012 - According to preliminary figures, Fair Value REIT-AG
achieved net sales of EUR 13.3 million for the financial year 2011 in line with
its planning (previous year: EUR 14.4 million). Net rental income for the Group
therefore came in at EUR 8.7 million (previous year: EUR 9.5 million).
The operating result (EBIT) rose by around EUR 3.8 million to EUR 6.7 million
and was therefore substantially up on the previous year figure of EUR 2.9
million. This rise in earnings was primarily due to the considerably improved
valuation result year-on-year as part of the market valuation of the Group's
real estate portfolio.
In contrast, income from participations at associated companies totalled EUR 3.3
million, around EUR 0.6 million down on the previous year figure of EUR 3.9
million. This was due to valuation losses of the real estate at these companies
following write-downs on some buildings with soon-to-expire lease agreements.
The valuation result of the real estate on the balance sheet date produced a net
growth in value of 2.6% for direct ownership, a growth of 1.1% at subsidiaries
and a proportionate valuation loss of 1.8% at the associated companies. Fair
Value's proportionate valuation result therefore totalled -0.2% (previous year:
-2.0%).
During the reporting period, the Company was able to substantially boost its
consolidated net income by EUR 2.4 million to EUR 4.6 million (previous year:
EUR 2.2 million). Earnings per share were up EUR 0.26 to EUR 0.50 per share,
compared with EUR 0.24 per share in the previous year.
Consolidated net income adjusted for changes in market value and other one-off
effects (in accordance with EPRA), which is also funds from operations (FFO),
totalled EUR 5.6 million or EUR 0.60 per share. This was in line with the
full-year forecast revised upwards in November 2011.
The slight fall in EPRA earnings (FFO) compared to the previous year figure of
EUR 5.8 million came on the back of the disposal of real estate and individual
renewable agreements at lower market rents as well as the premature release from
a lease agreement following the receipt of a compensation payment.
On the balance sheet date, consolidated equity came in at EUR 76.8 million
(December 31, 2010: EUR 74.6 million) according to preliminary figures. As a
result, the balance sheet net asset value increased from EUR 8.00 to EUR 8.24
per share in circulation. Taking into consideration the minority interests in
subsidiaries, the equity ratio pursuant to § 15 of the REIT Act rose to 50.8% of
immovable assets (December 31, 2010: 49.6%).
Retained earnings reported in the non-consolidated financial statements of Fair
Value REIT-AG under the German Commercial Code (HGB) reached EUR 0.8 million
(previous year: EUR 1.0 million). This was due to income from participations
falling short of expectations during the financial year 2011.
Frank Schaich, CEO of Fair Value REIT-AG, on the Group's positive business
development and its effect on the HGB non-consolidated financial statements:
"The markedly improved valuation result of our real estate compared to the
previous year played a substantial role in achieving the pleasing increase in
IFRS consolidated net income for 2011. This also had a positive effect on the
Company's non-consolidated financial statements. However, the HGB retained
earnings of EUR 0.8 million will only allow a dividend pay-out of presumably EUR
0.08 per share for 2011."
The final results for the financial year 2011 will be published by Fair Value
REIT-AG on March 29, 2012 in the Financial Reports section of
