ADLER Real Estate AG: Successful start to 2016
- Rental income up more than 60 percent
- FFO I improves more than 50 percent
- FFO II almost trebles
- LTV reduces further
Hamburg, 13 May 2016. ADLER Real Estate AG, Frankfurt/M. began 2016 with
substantial growth in its income from letting and trading residential
properties. Rental income came to EUR 42.0 million in the first quarter of
2016, 66.8 percent higher than in the previous year's quarter (EUR 25.2
million). This increase reflects the growth in the property portfolio
resulting from various acquisitions in the past year. As of 31 March 2016,
the ADLER Group owned a total of 48,055 units. Income from the sale of
properties, the ADLER Group's second segment, also grew sharply and almost
trebled to reach EUR 21.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 (Q1 2015:
EUR 7.6 million).
The substantial growth in rental income and income from the sale of
properties were reflected in a corresponding increase in funds from
operations (FFO), the key operating performance figure for real estate
companies. FFO I, which presents operating results net of disposal
proceeds, rose to EUR 5.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 and exceeded
the comparable previous year's figure by more than 50 percent (Q1 2015: EUR
3.8 million). FFO II, which also includes income from the sale, i.e.
trading and privatisation, of residential properties, almost trebled to EUR
8.9 million (EUR 3.0 million).
"In the first quarter, we benefited for the first time in full from the
acquisitions made last year. What's more, we are all well on track in terms
of our expectations for the 2016 financial year", comments Arndt Krienen,
Management Board member at ADLER Real Estate AG. "Having said that, this
strong operating performance is not directly reflected in the earnings
figures reported in the income statement as the previous year's figures
were significantly influenced by non-cash, non-recurring items."
Net of these one-off items, first-quarter EBITDA came to EUR 31.0 million,
equivalent to growth of 123 percent on the same period in the previous year
(EUR 13.9 million).
The balance sheet at the end of the first quarter did not show any material
changes compared with the end of the previous year, as ADLER did not make
any acquisitions or implement any financing measures in the first three
months. As bank liabilities have declined due to scheduled repayments,
however, the ratio of net financial liabilities to assets excluding cash
(loan-to-value) improved further. Excluding convertible bonds, the LTV
ratio came to 67.3 percent at the end of March 2016, as against 68.0
percent at the end of 2015.
The company's value - expressed in terms of its EPRA NAV (Net Asset Value)
- grew from EUR 879.5 million at the end of 2015 to EUR 882.7 million at
the end of March 2016. Per share, that corresponds to EUR 15.57, as against
EUR 15.51 at the end of the past year.
The complete interim report of ADLER Real Estate AG for the 1st quarter of
2016 is available at ADLER's homepage (www.adler-ag.com).
