The most important key figures substantially improved by annual comparison. This development was attributed on the one hand to a certain stabilisation of the markets and on the other hand to extensive restructuring and cost-cutting measures. Revenues, EBITDA, rental income, cash flow At EUR 314.0 million revenues were nearly double the value of the previous year, while at EUR 185.1 million EBITDA more than tripled year-on-year. Rental income rose by 79.79% to EUR 222.6 million. The increase was largely attributed to the purchase of IMMOAUSTRIA from the parent company IMMOFINANZ. A considerable reduction in costs due to the elimination of the management agreement with Constantia Privatbank also contributed to the positive development. The uninterrupted development of gross cash flow was also very satisfying, increasing nearly eight-fold from EUR 19.2 million to EUR 150.9 million. This was attributed to cost cuts and the takeover of IMMOAUSTRIA. Revenues declined slightly from the 1st quarter to the 2nd quarter of 2009/10. This was attributed to the lower sales volume for residential real estate in Serbia and Bulgaria as well as to the exchange rate effects of the USD, particularly in Russia and Poland. Revaluation, impairments, EBIT At EUR 25.4 million (after EUR -758.8 million in the previous year) the revaluation of properties brought a slightly positive result following the heavy losses of 2008/09. Of this the second quarter accounts for EUR 18 million; depreciations of EUR -27.5 million due to negative currency effects were more than set off by currency-adjusted appreciations of EUR 45.5 million. Impairment charges largely on real estate inventories and receivables were only necessary to a small extent (EUR 9.8 million after EUR 557.8 million). These improvements led to a considerably better operating profit (EBIT) of EUR 200.7 million (after EUR -1.550 billion). Adjusted for currency effects EBIT came to EUR 253.8 million. EBT Positive in the previous quarter due to currency influences, the 'other financial results' were negative this quarter for the identical reasons. This influence was mitigated by a positive valuation result from TriGranit, so that the quarter's EUR -13.2 million overall financial result was only slightly negative. Earnings before tax came to EUR 221.2 million (after EUR -1.862 billion). Adjusted for currency effects, a total of EUR 252.2 million was reached. Profit / share, NAV Earnings per share came to EUR 0.21, the net asset value (NAV) per share came to EUR 7.31, book value per share came to EUR 6.68 at the end of the half year. Operational successes Of IMMOEAST's business operations the many new lettings and lease extensions are of particular significance. These successes are a satisfying result of the decentralisation of asset management. Contact: Investor Relations & Corporate Communications: Mag.
