IMMOFINANZ strengthens balance sheet and posts significant improvement in net profit for the first three quarters of 2017

IMMOFINANZ posted a significant increase in net profit from continuing operations (excl. Russia) for the first three quarters of 2017, to EUR 116.3 million (Q1-3 2016: EUR -217.8 million). Rental income remained stable at EUR 174.1 million despite the ongoing sale of non-strategic properties (Q1-3 2016: EUR 174.0 million). Adjusted for new acquisitions, completions and sales (like-for-like), rental income rose significantly, by 3.9% to EUR 138.4 million. The results from Asset Management grew 11.3% to EUR 122.6 million; financial results moved strongly into positive territory at EUR 88.6 million (Q1-3 2016: EUR -143.9 million). This was primarily a result of positive valuation effects from the CA Immo and BUWOG shareholdings, and lower financing costs. Overall, net profit (incl. Russia) improved to EUR -59.1 million (Q1-3 2016: EUR -409.5 million).
