Berlin, 22 March 2017 - ADO Properties S.A., the only Prime Standard listed
residential real estate company solely focused on the city of Berlin,
reports a strong growth during the financial year 2016. This is reflected in
the annual financial report for the full year 2016 published today.
Further improvements of operational key figures
The income from rental activities of ADO Properties increased in 2016 by
36.5% to EUR 89.8 million (2015: EUR 65.8 million) due to the strong 6.0%
like-for-like rental growth and further expansion of the residential
portfolio. The EBITDA from rental activities rose by 30.7% from EUR 48.5
million in 2015 to EUR 63.4 million in the full year 2016.
The FFO1 (without profit from disposals) has increased by 41.7% up to
EUR 43.5 million (2015: EUR 30.7 million) equivalent to an FFO1 of EUR 1.11
per share (2015: EUR 1.04 per share) due to the strong operational
performance and the relative improvement of interest expenses.
The average in-place rent of the residential portfolio rose to EUR 6.11 per
sqm per month at the end of the fourth quarter 2016 (31 December 2015: EUR
5.82). The vacancy rate for the residential portfolio was reduced again by
the company from 4.0% as of 31 December 2015 to 2.5% as of 31 December 2016.
Two successful capital raises and further portfolio expansion
Two successful capital increases generating total net proceeds of EUR 293
million cleared the way for further acquisitions, particularly in Berlin's
attractive inner-city locations. Consequently ADO Properties' portfolio has
grown by EUR 824 million up to EUR 2,326 million as of 31 December 2016. It
comprised 18,700 units at the end of the reporting period, of which are
17,701 residential units (31. December 2015: 14,856 units). The Net Asset
Value of the portfolio amounted to EUR 1,591 million or EUR 36.08 per share
as of 31 December 2016.
Conservative financial strategy
ADO Properties' financial structure remains very conservative with an LTV of
31.4% by the end of the reporting period and an average interest rate of
2.1%. Almost all loans have fixed interest rates or are hedged. The loans
average maturity is approximately 5.3 years. ADO Properties will continue
with this conservative strategy targets and LTV of around 45% after
executing further acquisitions.
Expected FFO 1 run rate in 2017 around EUR 60 million
"Our two successful capital raises in 2016 and the considerable number of
acquisitions as well as the improvements of our operational key figures show
very well our capability to fulfill the expectations of our investors. With
our fully integrated management platform and results-driven corporate
culture, our company is well prepared to deliver further attractive returns
to our investors", says Rabin Savion, CEO of ADO Properties. "We expect
further growth and value increases for ADO Properties. We expect our 2017
year-end FFO 1 run rate to be at least EUR 60 million after investing our
cash position of around EUR 150 million. For the business year 2016 we have
recommended a dividend of EUR 0.45 per share, a close to 30% increase
compared to the previous year. The fundamentals of Berlin support our
outlook. They are solid and getting stronger each year. Berlin continues to
attract newcomers of all ages who appreciate the city's cosmopolitan
culture. The resulting population growth drives an ongoing housing shortage
in Berlin which will remain for many years to come. Therefore the macro
economic outlook for residential investments stays very positive."
