Frankfurt am Main, 25 April 2018. Today, InCity Immobilien AG published its
annual report for fiscal year 2017. As forecast, the group's net loss for
the year amounted to EUR -2.3m after a loss of EUR -228k in the prior year.
At single-entity financial statement level, the net loss amounted to only
EUR -168k after EUR -833k in 2016. For the current fiscal year InCity
forecasts a loss of EUR -1.9m to EUR -2.3m at consolidated financial
statement level and is aiming for a profit of up to EUR 400k at
single-entity financial statement level. "Despite the loss, the results are
in line with our expectations," says CFO Helge H. Hehl. "Positive factors
such as value appreciation of portfolio properties are not reflected in the
reported group results recognised according to the German Commercial Code
(HGB), but scheduled HGB depreciation of properties decreased the 2017
result by EUR 1.3m."
Fiscal year 2017 was characterised by the continued expansion of the
property portfolio. InCity acquired three new portfolio properties in Berlin
and Frankfurt am Main with a total rentable area of 4,700 square metres, but
only one of these properties had an impact on the results of operations in
the past fiscal year, and that for only one month, as the transfer of risks
and rewards for the other two properties took place after the balance sheet
date. In February of 2018, the company purchased two more residential and
commercial buildings in Berlin. The current property portfolio of InCity AG
consists of ten properties. The participations in project developments
progressed consistently according to plan in the past fiscal year.
At consolidated financial statement level, InCity AG reported a net loss of
EUR -2.3m for 2017 compared to the loss of EUR -228k in the prior year. The
group's EBITDA (earnings before tax, interest and depreciations) at
approximately EUR 1.2m was lower compared to the prior year (EUR 2.6m),
mainly due to a significantly reduced volume of project developments, but
still positive. The vacancy in the property "Jägerstrasse 54/55" in
Berlin-Mitte continues to have a negative impact. The building has already
been let, but will not be moved into until the beginning of 2019 due to
current remodelling. In fiscal year 2017 the results at single-entity
financial statement level were negative (EUR -168k) but were again
significantly improved compared to the prior year (EUR -833k). Despite
higher special effects due to capital increase compared with the prior year,
EBIT rose to EUR -99k (prior year: EUR -737k) with almost unchanged other
operating expenses. Overall the results were in line with expectations.
For the current year 2018 the management of InCity AG projects a net loss of
between
EUR -1.9m and EUR -2.3m at consolidated financial statement level, similar
to fiscal year 2017. InCity AG, as a single entity, expects a net income
between EUR 0k and EUR 400k. There are several reasons for the further loss
at consolidated financial statement level: The substantial appreciation of
the existing property portfolio as a result of the positive market
development is again not recognised under HGB, while the annual scheduled
depreciation of the property portfolio will again have a negative effect on
the group's result of approximately EUR 1.3m (in 2017). However, these
depreciations generate additional hidden reserves. In addition, the group
generates annual repayments on existing bank liabilities (approximately EUR
1.1m in 2017) which contribute to an increase of the net asset value (NAV)
and therefore increase equity in the context of financing. In addition, the
portfolio property at "Jägerstr. 54/55" in Berlin, as mentioned above, will
not have an effect until 2019, when it is expected to have a significant
positive impact on net income with rental income of more than EUR 1m.
"Despite the results for the current fiscal year reported in accordance with
HGB, we have generated value for our company in the past year," says Michael
Freund, CEO of InCity Immobilien AG. "The properties we have acquired are
excellent asset investments. Expanding our property portfolio is still the
main focus of our activities for the current fiscal year 2018."
