Press release
HAMBORNER REIT AG: Q1 2011 - operating business performance remains
positive
- Rental and leasing income up 22%, FFO climbs 27%
- Further properties added to portfolio,
- Shares admitted to SDAX,
Duisburg, 12 May 2011 - HAMBORNER REIT AG has enjoyed a successful start to
operations in the new financial year. Management income for the first three
months was up around 22% on the previous year's level at a total of EUR7.1
million. The increase is essentially due to the new investments that have
been performed. The vacancy rate is 2.1%, or only 1.3% after adjustment for
rent guarantees. In the first quarter, HAMBORNER generated an operating
result of around EUR3.3 million (previous year: EUR2.7 million) and
comprehensive income for the period of EUR1.7 million (previous year:
EUR-1.3 million). The previous year's earnings were squeezed by the exit
tax paid in connection with the transformation into a REIT last year.
Thanks to the addition to the portfolio of properties in Bad Homburg,
Regensburg, Leipzig and Brunnthal with a total investment value of around
EUR59 billion, HAMBORNER continued its growth in the first quarter as well.
Situated at good locations, the properties have long-term rental agreements
already in place, offer attractive initial returns and are contributing to
increases in FFO early on as they have already been added to the portfolio.
FFO for the first three months amounted to EUR4.0 million. The figure is
therefore up 27% on the previous year's level. An increase in FFO of 25-30%
is planned for 2011 as a whole with a rise in rental income of around 20%.
NAV per share as at 31 March 2011 amounted to EUR8.79. The company's
financial situation remains solid and comfortable. The REIT equity ratio is
65.8% and the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio 29.8%. HAMBORNER REIT AG is
therefore still excellently positioned for value-adding growth moving
forward; further investments are currently being examined.
