EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS's consolidated sales revenue for the second
quarter of 2020 totaled 2.422 million euros (2nd quarter of 2019: 2.321 million
euros), increasing by 4.4%. The sales revenue of the two properties acquired at
the end of February 2020 (airBaltic office building and Kekava logistics center
in Riga) and Tähesaju Hortes completed at the end of last year totaled 386
thousand euros in the second quarter of 2020, ie sales revenue in the second
quarter of the 2020 of new real estate investments accounted for 16.6%. The
sales revenue of other investment properties decreased mainly due to the
negative economic impact of Covid-19 and the concluded lease reduction
agreements.
EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS's consolidated sales revenue for the first half of
2020 was 4.865 million euros (first half of 2019: 4.636 million euros),
increasing by 4.9%. The Group's profit before revaluations of investment
properties, changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps and income tax
expense totaled 3.132 million euros in the first half of 2020 (first half of
2019: 2.882 million euros), increasing by 8.7%. Due to the economic uncertainty
caused by Covid-19, the expected decrease in cash flows and the resulting
decrease in the fair value of investment properties, the Group earned the first
net loss of its operating period in the total amount of 1.065 million euros.
In the first half of 2020, the fund earned consolidated EBITDA of 3.8 million
euros (first half of 2019: 3.6 million euros). From the EBITDA growth, 0.3
million euros is related to the addition of airBaltic's office building and
Kekava logistics building and 0.2 million euros is related to the addition of
Tähesaju Hortes rental income to the fund's real estate portfolio. Because of
the Covid-19 crisis and the resulting temporary discounts, the EBIDTA has
decreased by 0.2 million euros compared to the previous year. All temporary
discounts will end no later than September of this year. According to the fund's
management, the negative economic impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the fund's
results is smaller than initially expected, partly due to the well-diversified
real estate portfolio of EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS by sectors and countries,
strong tenant base, good capitalization and conservative financing strategy.
During the first half of 2020, the Group has earned a free cash flow of 1.7
million euros (6 months of 2019: the same), of which the cash flow from
investment properties added this year amounts to 234 thousand euros. Discounts
on leases caused by the special situation arising from Covid-19 totaled 254
thousand euros in the first half of 2020, ie due to temporary special agreements
with tenants, the Group's free cash flow in the first half of 2020 has decreased
by 13%.
In June 2020, Colliers International conducted a regular valuation of the fund's
real estate portfolio, this time even more conservative than before due to the
economic uncertainty arising from Covid-19. While yield rates as an input to
valuations did not change for any investment property, the discount rates for
most properties have risen by 0.3 percentage points due to the expected rise in
interest rates. However, the lower cash flow forecast had an even more
significant effect on the values of real estate investments, where Colliers
International estimates that in the 1 to 1.5 year plan, rental income could be
expected to decrease by approximately 4% from its normal level for some
properties. Overall, the value of the fund's real estate portfolio decreased by
3.99 million euros (3.1%) as a result of valuations.
As at end of June 2020, the Group has 13 (31.12.2019: 11) commercial investment
properties with a fair value as at the balance sheet date of EUR 125.328 million
(31.12.2019: EUR 113.011 million) and acquisition cost of EUR 118.053 million
(31.12.2019: EUR 101.746 million).
As at 30.06.2020, the Group's total assets were in the amount of EUR 137.676
million (31.12.2019: EUR 132.829 million), including fair value of investment
property, which accounted for 91% (31.12.2019: 85%) of the total assets.
The net asset value of the share of EfTEN Real Estate Fund III as at 30.06.2020
was EUR 15.95 (31.12.2019: EUR 16.85). The net asset value of the share of EfTEN
Real Estate Fund III AS decreased by 5.4% in the first half of 2020. The net
asset value of the share decreased by 5.6%, mainly due to the economic
instability caused by Covid-19 and the resulting change in the fair value of the
Group's investment properties. Due to the declaration of dividends in the amount
of 2,745 thousand euros in June 2020, the net asset value of the share decreased
by an additional 4.2%. Without the change in the value of real estate
investments and profit distribution, the net asset value of EfTEN Real Estate
Fund III would have increased by 4.4% in the first half of 2020.
During the next 12 months, there will be deadlines for several loan agreements
of the Group subsidiaries. Most of the Group's borrowings are concluded with a
term of 5 years, which is refinanced upon termination of the loan agreement.
Over the next 12 months, 34.285 million euros, meaning 56.1% of the total loan
portfolio, will be refinanced from the Group's loan liabilities. As at
30.06.2020, the average interest rate of the Group's loan agreements
(considering interest rate swap agreements) is 2.01% (31.12.2019: 1.84%) and LTV
(Loan to Value) is 54% (31.12.2019: 52%).
