Ad-hoc: Interim report as of 30 June 2009

First half of 2009 shows strong operative performance and successful property sales, but further market induced revaluations

  • Rental income increased by 5 % to € 90 m
  • Proceeds from property sales of over € 200 m with € 14 m profit
  • Increase of EBITDA by 28%, increase in operating cash flow by 21 %
  • Devaluations in CEE and SEE lead to negative revaluation result
  • Further property sales of over € 100 m agreed
  • Management optimistic regarding business outlook

Vienna, 27 August 2009. The operative business of CA Immo in the first half of 2009 performed satisfactorily. Compared to the first half of 2008 rental income of the CA Immo Group increased by 5.3 % to € 90.1 m. Sales of properties in Germany and Austria contributed a profit of € 14.3 m (H1 2008: € 9.2 m), of which about one quarter resulted from the sale of assets held for trading and about three quarter from sales of investment properties. Overall the proceeds from sales were over € 200 m.

The continued implementation of cost cutting measures lead to a significant reduction of indirect expenditures, which decreased by 18.4 % to € 21.4 m. EBITDA amounted to € 79.3 m, which means a significant increase of 27.6 % compared to H1 2008. The revaluation result came out at € -98.0 m and mainly relates to non cash-effective negative revaluations in our CEE and SEE portfolio.

In addition to financing costs of € -52.3 m, the financial result of the first six months of 2009 was also negatively impacted by non-cash negative effects from valuation changes of interest rate hedges and impairments of affiliated companies and therefore amounted € -66.3 m (H1 2008: € -41.9 m). Earnings before tax (EBT) amounted to € - 87.4 m (H1 2008: € 17.3 m), net income after minorities was € -56.2 m (H1 2008: € 6.6 m). The operating cash flow, however, showed a significantly positive development and reached € 59.7 m, an increase of 21 % compared to the first half of 2008.

The equity ratio of CA Immo at the balance sheet date reached 41.3 %. Net debt as of June 30, 2009 was € 1,561.1 m (-1.9%) compared to a real estate portfolio of € 3.7 bn. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 288.6 m. Net asset value (NAV) per share as of June 30 2009 was 18.21 € (Dec 31 2008: € 18.92).

Successful implementation of operational plans
Despite the challenging economic environment, CA Immo was able to reach its operational goals in the first half of 2009. Through the successful execution of the announced property sales, operating result was significantly increased and the liquidity position strengthened. Since the half year balance sheet date, further significant sales were closed (such as “Velum” in Munich) or signed, so that the intended sales volume of € 300 m for 2009 will be reached if not surpassed.

In addition to the sales activities the focus of the CA Immo Group for the second half of 2009 will be the continued implementation of the announced cost cutting measures and the further optimization of the maturity profile of the financial liabilities.

CA Immo is confident that in an unchanged market environment the revaluations of the first half of 2009 sufficiently provide for the further development of real estate values in East- and Southeast Europe. Therefore an improvement in the earnings situation can be expected for the second half of 2009.
