Interim report as of 30 September 2009

First three quarters of 2009 show strong operative performance, Slow down in market induced revaluations

  • Rental income increased by 4 % to € 134.3 m
  • Increase of EBITDA by 26%, increase in operating cash flow by 30 %
  • Positive EBIT in Q3 despite further revaluation in East- and Southeast Europe
  • Capital structure significantly strengthened

Vienna, 25 November 2009. Due to a stable operative performance and lower unrealized revaluation losses compared to the previous quarters, CA Immo Group reached a positive EBIT in Q3 2009. This reflects the stabilization of the real estate markets that has become visible since the beginning of the third quarter 2009.
Compared to the first nine months of 2008 rental income of the CA Immo Group increased by 3.7 % to € 134.3 m. Sales of investment- and trading properties in Germany and Austria contributed a profit of € 16.4 m (2008: € 16.1 m).
The continued implementation of cost cutting measures lead to a significant reduction of indirect expenditures, which decreased by 12.1 % to € 33.2 m. EBITDA amounted to € 115.8 m, which means a significant increase of 25.9 % compared to 2008. The revaluation result came out at € -115.3 m and mainly relates to non cash-effective negative revaluations in the CEE and SEE portfolio. EBIT for the first nine months 2009 amounted to € -6.1 m. Due to significantly lower revaluation losses, the third quarter already showed a positive EBIT of 15.0 Mio. €.
In addition to financing costs of € -80.3m, the financial result of the first nine months of 2009 was also negatively impacted by non-cash impairments of affiliated companies and negative effects from valuation changes of interest rate hedges (mainly attributable to the third quarter) and therefore amounted to € -115.1 m (2008: € -72.0 m). Earnings before tax (EBT) amounted to € -121.1 m (2008: € 10.0 m), net income after minorities was € -78.3 m (2008: € -2.2 m).
The positive operative performance is also reflected in a significant increase in operating cash flow, which reached € 94.4 m (+30.2 % compared to the first nine months of 2008).
The equity ratio of CA Immo at the balance sheet date reached 41.0 %. Net debt as of September 30, 2009 was € 1.5 bn (-2.9 %) compared to a real estate portfolio of € 3.7 bn. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 273.8 m. Net asset value (NAV) per share as of September 30 2009 was € 17.97 (Dec 31 2008: € 18.92).

Property-sales target already exceeded
Despite the challenging environment, property sales of over € 350 m were either finalized or agreed on a binding basis until the end of the third quarter 2009. Of this figure € 229 m were already reflected in the accounts until September 30. CA Immo thus clearly exceeded the target of € 300 m of property sales that was communicated at the beginning of the year.

Strengthening of Capital Base
At the start of Q4 2009 CA Immo was able to significantly strengthen its liquidity position by issuing a corporate bond amounting to € 150 m and a convertible bond with a volume of € 135 m. Additionally, a refinancing package was completed under which existing loans were partially paid down and loan maturity terms were expanded significantly. Dr. Bruno Ettenauer, CEO of CA Immo: “The experiences of the last 12 months have shown the prime importance of a well balanced financing profile. It was therefore important to us to make optimum use of the market window that opened at the start of Q4 in order to place the transactions successfully on the capital markets. We now have the necessary financial flexibility, in terms of both the amount of liquidity and the maturity profile of our financial liabilities, to be able to utilise investment opportunities arising in the current phase of the market.”
