Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S
Revised full-year profit guidance
Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S / Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S downgrades its full-year profit guidance to break-even. The original guidance, most recently announced in connection with the release of the interim report for the first three months of 2008, was for a DKK 28m profit. The downgrade is due to a coincidence of several factors, all of which had an adverse effect on the company's performance. One reason was the increase in interest rates which had a negative influence on the market value of the mortgage deed portfolio and entailed higher funding costs. Another reason was the company's assessment that it had to take a writedown of mortgage deeds with a high risk of loss. The losses on mortgage deeds totalled DKK 4.2m in H1 2008, equal to 0.5% of the portfolio on an annualised basis. The losses are within the budgeted limits. The company's interim report for the first half-year of 2008 will be released on 19 August 2008. The report will contain a detailed account of the developments of the first six months of the year and explain the forecast for the full year 2008 as well as for the longer term. However, the company retains its long-term goal of achieving a return on equity of 10.5% p.a. before tax. Please direct any questions regarding the announcement to Erik Møller, Senior Vice President, or to Henrik Nordam, Chairman, on tel. +45 35 47 48 49. Yours sincerely, Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S Henrik Nordam Chairman News Source: NASDAQ OMX 11.08.2008 Financial News transmitted by DGAP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Language: English Issuer: Alm.
