Andrzej Mikołajczyk, Managing Director of CA Immo Poland has answered Property Forum’s questions about the current attractiveness of Polish office assets, the expected supply gap and recent investment transactions.

With profitable sales of non-strategic properties and good progress in the implementation of the development pipeline, CA Immo's operating performance remained stable in the first quarter, seamlessly from the previous quarters. The strong sales result combined with lower indirect costs led to an increase in operating profit of around 6%. In addition, a significant increase in revaluation results helped to more than triple consolidated net income compared with the previous year.

At €479.8 million, CA Immo reached its highest consolidated net income in the company's history, up 89% on the previous year (2020: €254.0 million), mainly due to a high revaluation result. The company published its latest financial results.

Based on independent external appraisals, CA Immo expects a positive net property revaluation result of around €355 million (around €3.52 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2021. Overall, a highly positive net property revaluation result of approximately €540 million (around €5.36 per share) is expected for the business year 2021, which will significantly exceed the reference value of the previous year of €184 million. The result reflects the still attractive market environment FOR Class A properties in Germany and especially in Munich and Berlin despite the Covid-19 pandemic.
