RomReal hereby presents the main highlights of the fourth quarter 2016:

Net Asset Value (NAV)

  • Net Asset value was EUR 0.44 (NOK 3.97) per share, 4.0% up compared to the end of Q3 2016. The increase in NAV is mainly explained by the new year end valuation by Knight Frank Romania. The new valuation gave a 9.3% increase in the property value on a comparable plot basis compared to the end of 2015.
  • Net Asset Value was EUR 0.5 (NOK 4.59) if the values from 2nd January 2017 conditional sales agreements had been applied to the sold properties.

Operational highlights

  • On 2nd January, the Company entered into two conditional sales transactions representing 51% of its investment portfolio. The transactions include the Mamaia North plots and the Morii Lake plot in Bucharest. The transactions amount to an estimated EUR 17.75 - 18.25 million.
  • The Company has exercised its option to extend the Alpha Bank loan until 28th April 2017. If the pending sales proceeds are not received as expected, the loan will be automatically extended until 29 November 2017. The Company plans to use the sales proceeds to repay in whole the loan before the end of March.

             

Financial Results

  • Net Result for the quarter was EUR 14,000 compared to an EUR 1,880,000 loss in 4Q 2015. Operating cash flow for the quarter was a minus EUR 115,000 compared to minus EUR 64,000 in the same period last year.

Macro and real estate market highlights

  • 2016 marked another strong macroeconomic year for Romania. In the second quarter, Romania recorded the highest GDP growth of all EU's member states. The strong trend continues. In the fourth quarter, the preliminary GDP growth came in at 4.8%. Analysts expect growth to continue in 2017 on a high note. The real estate market developed favourably. The turnaround from the falling years following the 2008 boom, is now final. New buildings came in strong in all major real estate segments. Total new buildings coming on market in 2016 increased 88% compared to 2015 and the new lettable space was the highest since the boom ended in 2008.
  • With a record number of finished residential buildings and a 9% increase in the number of transactions during the first 9 months, 2016 is expected to be one of the best years for the residential market.
