BUWOG AG will report a revaluation result for the fourth quarter of its financial year 2015/16 amounting to approx. EUR 37 mn in the course of the presentation of results for its financial year 2015/16. Thus, BUWOG AG will show a total revaluation result for its financial year 2015/16 of approx. EUR 191 mn.

Financial year 2015/16

The positive revaluation result of the financial year 2015/16 is mainly driven by a significant revaluation of the German investment properties amounting to approximately EUR 142 mn. The revaluation of the Austrian portfolio amounts to approximately EUR 49 mn.

First quarter of financial year 2016/17

For the first quarter of its financial year 2016/17 BUWOG AG expects to show a revaluation result of its investment properties of a further approx. EUR 148 mn mainly due to the noticeably more dynamic development of the real estate markets particularly in Germany in the months from May through July 2016.

The revaluation result for the German portion of the investment properties for the first quarter of the financial year 2016/17 has become available to BUWOG AG on 10 August 2016 and encompasses approx. EUR 138 mn. It has been determined, as the valuation of the entire investment property portfolio for the financial year 2015/16, by external appraiser CBRE. The revaluation result concerning the Austrian portion of the investment properties has been determined internally and is mainly based on adjustments for selling price potentials.

Value drivers

The main value driver in both reporting periods was a sustainably increasing yield compression in the German market. Purchase prices increased over-proportionally in relation to rental increases for apartment houses and portfolios due to continuously strong demand from domestic and international investors. In addition the revaluation result was driven by the adaption of selling price potentials in the Austrian unit sales business, the active application of asset management measures and an adaptation of market rents.

The complete results of the financial year 2015/16 will be announced as planned in the course of the presentation of the Annual Report 2015/16 on 31 August 2016.
Further results of the first quarter of the financial year 2016/17 will be published as planned on 28 September 2016.

''The significant increases of the valuation of BUWOG's portfolio prove our strategic decisions with regards to the positioning of our core markets in Germany. They all reflect highly attractive socio-demographical trends and dynamics and encompass further potential for value increases in the future. Through active asset management and strictly focused investments into our high quality portfolio we will support the further positive development of the entire BUWOG portfolio'', says Andreas Segal, Deputy CEO & CFO of BUWOG Group.

Daniel Riedl, CEO of BUWOG Group, considers the strong revaluation result as a confirmation of the decision to grow the German portfolio of BUWOG also through developments to hold. ''Developing real estate properties into our own portfolio in Berlin and Hamburg and thus the creation of strong organic growth in times of high demand will increase the value of our portfolio even further in the long-term. The region of Berlin already today reflects the highest fair value increases within our German investment property portfolio'', says Riedl.
