DGAP-News: Deutsche EuroShop AG / Key word(s): Half Year Results/Interim Report Deutsche EuroShop: Half-year results for 2019 stable and on track
Hamburg, 15 August 2019 - Shopping center investor Deutsche EuroShop can look back on a stable first half of its 2019 financial year. Revenue was up slightly by 0.3% to EUR111.9 million on the prior-year period, net operating income (NOI) was nearly unchanged at EUR100.4 million, and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved by 0.2% to EUR98.2 million. Including the positive non-recurring effects from tax refunds for previous years of the first quarter of 2019, which the management of Deutsche EuroShop expects in connection with a current ruling by the Grand Senate of the Federal Finance Court (BFH), earnings before taxes (EBT) excluding valuation rose by 3.8% to EUR81.9 million in the first half of the year (excluding non-recurring effects +0.4%). For this reason, consolidated profit also increased significantly by 19.8% to EUR66.2 million (excluding non-recurring effects +2.2%); EPRA earnings rose by 14.5% to EUR 84.3 million (excluding non-recurring effects +1.3%). Funds from operations (FFO) adjusted for valuation and non-recurring effects were slightly lower than the first half of the previous year at EUR75.0 million (-0.7%) due to higher tax payments. This represents FFO per share of EUR1.21. The Deutsche EuroShop management team is sticking to its guidance for financial year 2019 and aims to pay a dividend of EUR1.55 per share for the financial year. The expectation is that the dividend will increase by a further EUR0.05 for 2020.
