Deutsche EuroShop: Solid Midyear Result, Further Growth Planned
- Revenue: EUR 70.4 million (+12%), EBIT: EUR 60.8 million (+13%)
- EBT before valuation: EUR 31.2 million (+20%)
- EPS: EUR 0.60
- FFO: EUR 0.72 per share
Hamburg, 12 August 2010 - With a revenue of EUR 70.4 million (period of
previous year: EUR 63.0 million), an EBIT of EUR 60.8 million (EUR 53.8
million) and a consolidated profit of EUR 26.0 million (EUR 30.4 million)
after the first six months the shopping center investor Deutsche EuroShop
is fully according to plan to achieve the forecast for 2010.
'The net operating income (NOI) improved by around 13% to almost EUR 63.0
million. A significant influencing factor for the growth was the A10
Center in Wildau near Berlin, which contributes to our results since
February', Deutsche EuroShop's CFO Olaf Borkers comments.
Earnings before taxes and valuation came to EUR 31.2 million, almost 20%
higher than in the same period last year. Consolidated profit totalled just
under EUR 26 million. That corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.60
(2009: EUR 0.83). It should be noted here that consolidated profit was
boosted in the previous year by positive exceptional and currency effects
on measurement gains. FFO (funds from operations), which is an indicator of
operating performance, improved by 2% from EUR 0.71 to EUR 0.72 per share.
'We are still optimistic to acquire another shopping center in the second
half of the year. In addition to that we want to increase our shareholdings
in shopping centers that already form part of our portfolio. The
acquisitions of shares of the centers in Dresden, Kassel and Wuppertal was
a first step. On the financing side we see us as very well positioned and
could invest up to EUR 300 million', Olaf Borkers says confidently.
Deutsche EuroShop keeps its already end of April published forecasts for
the 2010 financial year unchanged. The long-term dividend policy geared
towards continuity shall be pursued: The Excecutive Board assumes that a
dividend of at least EUR 1.05 per share again can be distributed for the
financial year 2010.
