Revenues from property services reached respectively: €24 million against €21 million a year earlier.

Total revenues saw an increase of 6% to €90 million in H1 2023.

The increase in rental income is mainly due to the indexation of rents in conjunction with the completion of Pillar in Budapest, GTC X in Belgrade and Rose Hill Business Campus in Budapest. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in rental income due to the sale of Forest Offices in Debrecen in Q1 2023 and Cascade and Matrix A and B in Q3 and Q4 2022, according to the companies results.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €52 million (€53 million in H1 2022). The net loss was €12 million in H1 2023 (€41 million in H1 2022). The decrease is mainly due to a revaluation loss, it further reports.

The loss on revaluation of investment properties amounted to €51 million against a gain of €16 million profit in H1 2022.

The loss in fair value of completed projects is mainly due to a slight increase in the equivalent capitalisation rate combined with higher vacancy rates for office space in Poland and Hungary, according to the report.

Funds from operations (FFO I) increased by 4% to €35 million, with FFO I per share of €0.06.

Total investments, including non-current financial assets, amounted to €2,377 million as at 30 June 2023 (€2,418 million as at 31 December 2022) and GAV to €2,245 million as at 30 June 2023 (€2,288 million as at 31 December 2022), largely as a result of the sale of the Forest Offices office building in Debrecen for €49 million, partially offset by investments: of €44 million, mainly in assets under construction and €13 million in the acquisition of new projects. The above increase was offset by a loss on revaluation of investment properties of €53 million, the company announced.

EPRA NTA amounted to €1,205 million compared to €1,273 million at 31 December 2022. EPRA NTA per share was €2.1 compared to €2.22 at 31 December 2022.

Debt amounted to €1,253 million compared to €1,238 million at 31 December 2022.

The increase is mainly related to long-term loans of €34 million combined with exchange rate differences on PLN- and HUF-denominated bonds of €13 million. It was offset by repayments during the period in the amount of €25 million, the company indicated.

The weighted average maturity of the debt was 3.8 years and the average interest rate was 2.38% per annum.

The net LTV ratio was 46.8% (44.5% at 31 December 2022). The interest coverage ratio (annualised consolidated coverage ratio) calculated based on EBITDA was 3.5x (no change from 31 December 2022), it was also stated.
