THE PROPERTY BUSINESS
Cemat A/S’ business operations comprise a listed holding company in Denmark, which owns 100% of Cemat Real Estate S.A. which again owns 77,66% of CeMat’70 S.A, the property company, which comprises the group’s main activity. There are no other business operations in the Danish listed company.
The ongoing efforts to divest the assets of the Polish property business is continuing unabatedly.
CeMat ‘70 owns 133 thousand sqm of useable land and 41 thousand sqm of buildings on Wólczynska 133 in the Bielany district, which is located approximately 10 kilometers NW of the center of Warsaw, Poland. Bielany has undergone significant development over the past years with a large number of housing units and new retail businesses being established in the area. The land held by CeMat ‘70 is currently classified for industrial purposes, but the company is working to reclassify the land to residential and services usage to include it in the ongoing development of the district.
CeMat ‘70 engages in the letting of premises and land and the provision of utilities to its tenants, including power, water, technical gases and facility services, etc. CeMat ‘70 has approximately 110 tenants and an occupancy rate of approximately 85%. Topsil GlobalWafers (TGW) is the biggest tenant generating approx. 60% of income and 40% of profit contribution. TGW will continue its operations in Poland till the end of year 2017. In 2018 TGW may phase out its operations, and CeMat ‘70 is currently seeking new tenants.
Revenue of the Cemat Group was DKK 19.3 million in H1 2017 (H1 2016: DKK 7.2 million without sales to TGW, which was eliminated from the consolidated revenue as intra-group or DKK 18.2 including sales to TGW).
Costs were DKK 18.6 million in H1 2017 (H1 2016: DKK 10.1 million without costs of sales to TGW, which was eliminated from the consolidated costs of sales as intra-group or DKK 18.0 including costs of sales to TGW). This line item includes operating costs in the Polish property company and administrative expenses of the holding company related to being a listed company, including remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Management Board.
EBITDA was a profit of DKK 0.7 million in H1 2017 (H1 2016: a loss of DKK 2.9 million).
EBITDA of the property rental business was a profit of DKK 3.2 million in H1 2017. In the same period of 2016, EBITDA was DKK 3.5 million.
The Group’s investment property is measured at its estimated fair value in accordance with IAS 40 and IFRS 13, and any value adjustments are recognized in the income statement. For the purpose of preparation the H1 2017 financial report it was assumed that the fair value of the investment property expressed in PLN did not change from the previous year. A new valuation by an external, professional valuator will be made before the publication of the 2017 results.
Net financials amounted to an expense of DKK 0.8 million in H1 2017 (H1 2016: an expense of DKK 7.6 million). It comprised of bank interests and exchange rate losses from the valuation of intercompany loans.
A net loss of DKK 2.1 million was posted for the period (H1 2016: a loss of DKK 13.0 million).
The net result in the 1st half of 2017 is lower than expected. The reasons are higher than expected consultancy and legal expenses regarding transition from production to property business, loss of active VAT payer status in Cemat A/S (which is not a financial holding company), identification of additional costs regarding the property portfolio, negative interest from a high balance on the bank account and not realized foreign exchange differences.
As a part of these non-budgeted costs are of a “one-off” nature, and due to a better than budgeted performance of the property rental business, the result in the 2nd half of 2017 is expected to be better than in the 1st half.
CASH FLOW STATEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET
Cash flows from operating activities were an outflow of DKK 1.4 million in H1 2017.
Cash flows from investing activities were an outflow of DKK 1.1 million. Cash was spent on upgrading the company’s facilities and preparation of company’s properties for divestment.
Cash flows from financing activities were an outflow of DKK 112.7 million. Cash was spent on the share buy-back programme (DKK 104.1 million including related expenses), extraordinary dividend (DKK 8.5 million net, withholding tax outstanding at 30.06.2017) and financial lease repayments.
The Group’s non-current assets totaled DKK 109.8 million at 30 June 2017, consisting of land and buildings, usufruct rights and production equipment in the property business.
INTEREST-BEARING DEBT
At 30 June 2017, there was no interest-bearing debt. It was repaid in full in July 2016.
EQUITY
The Group’s equity at 30 June 2017 stood at DKK 113.0 million, of which DKK 81,1 million was attributable to the shareholders of Cemat A/S, and DKK 31.9 million was attributable to non-controlling interests in CeMat ‘70 S.A. The equity ratio was 81.8% at 30 June 2017.
OUTLOOK FOR 2017
Revenue for Cemat A/S is expected to amount to DKK 37-39 million in 2017.
EBITDA generated by the Polish property rental business (CeMat ‘70) is expected to be around DKK 6-7 million. EBITDA for the group is expected to be around DKK 2-3 million.
After deduction of capital expenditures (investment property), finance costs and income tax a net consolidated loss of DKK 2-3 million is expected for 2017.
In the 2017 outlook it is assumed that the fair value of the property will not change in comparison to the valuation made at the end of 2016. However a new valuation by an external, professional valuator will be made before the publication of the 2017 results.
The main objective of Cemat is to prepare the company’s assets for divestment and carry out the actual divestment. The process has been accelerated in 2017 and the company has been confirmed in its expectation, that it will be able to divest the property. There are obstacles to be overcome like restitution claims, reclassification of the land for residential and services purposes, consolidation of the land and closing a deal with a buyer. However, bearing in mind the current favorable situation on the Warsaw real estate market the company’s management believes it will be able to sell the property for a price at least corresponding to the current valuation.
The forward-looking statements in this interim report reflect Management’s current expectations for certain future events and financial results. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to uncertainty, and actual results may therefore differ materially from expectations.
Factors that may cause actual results to deviate materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic developments, the financial markets, changes in the real estate market in Poland, legislation, changes in demand for the company’s services, and competition.
