Following the majority takeover of Immofinanz by CPI Property Group (CPIPG), resulting in the shareholding of app. 77%, Immofinanz announced an update strategy, including close cooperation with CPIPG and the related synergy effects. CPIPG and Immofinanz now agreed that CPIPG will provide asset management services to local Immofinanz companies.

Property group Immofinanz has signed a 25-year lease for 6,500 sqm in Bucharest-based myhive Victoria Park to Leventer Medical Group. The leased area will host Leventer Hospital, the country's first private dermatology and surgical oncology hospital that will open in 2024 following an investment of around €10 million. 

Immofinanz is presenting an updated strategy following the majority takeover by CPI Property Group. The company plans to continue its value-creating growth strategy with a strong focus on retail properties and office solutions. As part of an active portfolio management, properties with a value of approximately €1 billion will be sold and the proceeds invested in higher-yielding assets. The successful course of the company will be continued on Immofinanz’s robust financial base together with the strengthening of ESG activities. Immofinanz will benefit in pursuing this strategy from close cooperation with the CPI Property Group and the related synergy effects.

Immofinanz was informed by its primary shareholder CPI Property Group that CPIPG has decided not to support a proposal to the upcoming ordinary shareholders’ meeting of Immofinanz for the distribution of a dividend for the financial year 2021.

After the successful completion of the mandatory takeover offer of CPI Property Group on Immofinanz the Supervisory Board and the members of the Executive Board Dietmar Reindl and Stefan Schönauer mutually agreed today in relation to the Change of Control Event, that their contract as board members shall end on 8 June 2022. Dietmar Reindl and Stefan Schönauer will continue to work for the Company as advisors to the Executive and Supervisory Board until 31 December 2022.

CPI Property Group reported first-quarter profit growth of 243 percent year-on-year to €381 million (roughly CZK 9.4 billion). It was able to do so thanks to its takeover of Austria's Immofinanz, which owns a number of commercial properties. CPI now owns 76.86 percent of the shares in this Austrian company. As a result, CPI is currently the Central European leader in real estate and is planning further expansion with the Austrian real estate company S Immo, where it now controls 42.6 per cent along with Immofinanz.

Immofinanz has finalised the complete modernisation of the Myhive Haller Gardens office building in Budapest.

Immofinanz’s like-for-like rental income rose by 4.3% in the first quarter of 20221, the occupancy rate remained high at 94.4%, and FFO 1 before tax was stable at a very good level of €34.4 million. Net profit totalled €72.4 million, compared with a substantial positive effect in the first quarter of the previous year from the revaluation of the stake in S Immo. With an equity ratio of 52.3% and a conservative debt level with a net LTV of 32.7%, Immofinanz has a strong capital foundation.
