Frankfurt am Main, 30 November 2010 - During the 2nd quarter of Fiscal Year
2010/2011 (1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011), MAGNAT Real Estate AG's
('MAGNAT', ISIN DE000A0XFSF0) net result after taxes and minority interests
was just positive at approximately EUR 60,000. The comparative figures for
the corresponding quarter last year stand at EUR -3.4 million. At EUR 1.0
million, MAGNAT succeeded in more than quadrupling gains/losses relating to
letting in the 2nd quarter as compared to last year (EUR 0.2 million).
Moreover, the newly integrated asset management, with a result of EUR 0.1
million, and the co-proprietor's building schemes in Austria, which
generated a result of EUR 1.4 million and following the integration are now
on MAGNAT's books, have, based on the consolidated statements of income,
contributed significantly to MAGNAT closing the quarter in the black.
Overall, MAGNAT was able to significantly reduce the net loss of EUR -4.2
million recorded in the previous year to EUR -1.0 million during the first
half of the current fiscal year. Income before taxes and minority interests
(EBT) amounted to EUR -0.7 million after EUR -4.5 million in the same
period last year. In particular, gains/losses relating to letting, which
climbed by 51 per cent from EUR 1.1 million in the previous year to EUR 1.6
million developed positively in the first half. The newly integrated asset
management, which is included in the half-yearly financial statements for
the first time, also contributed significantly to the improvement in
earnings with profit of EUR 0.2 million during the half-year. Furthermore,
the co-proprietor's building schemes in Austria generated profit of EUR 1.4
million in the 2nd quarter alone. To present the income from the
co-proprietor's building schemes transparently, MAGNAT has extended its
consolidated statements of income by the item 'Gains/losses relating to the
sale of real estate'.
Also due to internalisation of the asset management, cash and cash
equivalents rose significantly from EUR 3.9 million at 30 September 2009 to
EUR 7.1 million at 30 September 2010. The equity ratio at that date stood
at a solid 62.9 per cent after 63.3 per cent at the same time last year.
Due to a conservative calculation, which no longer includes 'Non-recognised
items', net asset value of EUR 7.63 at 31 March 2010 dropped to EUR 7.25 at
30 September 2010. Net asset value is calculated according to EPRA's
international recommendations.
Jürgen Georg Faè, member of MAGNAT's Board of Management, comments: 'We
made progress in terms of balancing our business model during the first
half. Hence, our new business segment, Asset Management, which we will
expand, made a positive contribution to earnings. Developments in Germany,
Austria and Turkey are also positive. Furthermore, the gradual recovery in
Eastern Europe re-opens opportunities for the development of our
portfolio.'
