CPI Property Group announced the signing of a binding agreement for the sale of a portfolio totalling 11 properties located in the Czech Republic to S Immo. The transaction property value is €481 million.
According to CPI Property Group's financial results for H1 2023, the group's rental income continues to rise, even as it works on its disposal and deleveraging plans. The group's CEO expects a similar trend for the rest of the year.
The Supervisory Board of Immofinanz has appointed Pavel Měchura to the Executive Board, effective immediately. The Immofinanz Executive Board will now include two members: Radka Doehring and Pavel Měchura. Also effective 16 June, Radka Doehring has become a member of the Executive Board of S Immo.
Immofinanz Group recorded strong growth in both rental income and operating results for the first quarter of 2023, which was supported primarily by the full consolidation of S Immo and by property acquisitions. Rental income rose by roughly 83% to €128.4 million. The results of operations and sustainable FFO 1 from the standing investment business more than doubled to €82.5 million and €72.5 million, respectively.
In the year 2022, CPI Property Group became one of Europe's largest landlords. The CPIPG portfolio reached €20.9 billion, about €7.8 billion more than the year before due to several consolidations. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was €608 million, while FFO1 was €355 million.
Immofinanz Group delivered very good operating performance in 2022 in spite of the challenging environment. Sustainable FFO 1 from the standing investment business rose by 21.7%. Rental income increased by 5.4% to €300.2 million and the results of asset management by 7.2% to €226.1 million. The Group also has a very solid capital base with an equity ratio of 47.9% and conservative debt with a net LTV of 40.7%.
Property groups Immofinanz and S Immo said they are reviewing further alignment, coordination, merger or other forms of integration, with CPI Property Group (CPIPG) as supporting shareholder.
Immofinanz has significantly expanded its retail portfolio in the 2022 financial year. As a result of acquisitions and completions, the portfolio has grown from 111 to 169 locations in ten European countries over the course of the year, with a carrying amount of approximately €2.3 billion (excluding S Immo).
