Pro Kapital Council approved Consolidated Interim Report for II Quarter and 6 Months of 2019 (Unaudited) and made changes into Remuneration and Audit Committees

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Chairman’s summary (abbreviated)

Our key focus is set on large-scale development projects of residential and commercial quarters in all Baltic capitals – Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius. With 25 years of experience and large portfolio we have a strong understanding of the market we operate in.

Our current portfolio holds a number of prestigious residential and commercial development projects, either ongoing or upcoming. In addition, Pro Kapital has an extensive experience in developing and operating shopping malls. In November 2018, we opened a new generation shopping and entertainment centre - T1 Mall of Tallinn. T1 is located in one of the most fast-growing parts of Tallinn, which will be the future heart of Rail Baltica. The concept, but also architecture of T1 is unique across Baltics, with very wide selection of restaurants, cinema, entertainment centre amongst traditional shopping. As of April 2019, a Ferris Wheel on the rooftop of T1, a one of a kind across Europe, started welcoming guests. Following the opening, we have been in the progress of building a well-balanced mix of tenants which would complement the T1’s value proposition. 

The thoroughness and diversity of our business and portfolio is reflected by the stable improvement of our performance. The sales revenues during the first half-year have increased by 49% y-o-y, from 15.1 million euros in 2018 to 22.5 million euros during 2019. This result was strongly influenced by the active sales of Šaltiniu Namai Attico five new houses in Vilnius, Kristina Houses development in Tallinn, River Breeze Residence in Riga, but also rental revenues from T1, which we did not have in 2018. Our revenues from the sales of the real estate depend on the completion of the residential developments, as the revenues are recorded at the moment final notary deeds of sale are concluded and properties handed over to the buyer. As a result of the active sales, the operating result for the first half-year of 2019 was 5.1 million euros profit compared to 4.4 million euros profit during the same period in 2018. During the Q2 the operating result was 2.5 million euros profit in 2019 and 3.7 million euros profit in 2018. The operating result of 2018 was influenced by extraordinary gain from increase of value of investment property in amount of 1.9 million euros. Gross profit margin has increased by 3% during the first half-year y-o-y. Otherwise positive results were influenced by 3.5 million euros interest expenses related to T1 project, which in previous periods have been capitalized into cost of investment property. Consequently, the net result of the first half-year of 2019 was 276 thousand euros loss compared to 2.8 million euros profit during the same period in 2018.

The total revenue of the second quarter was 12.1 million euros, an increase of 47% compared to 8.3 million euros during the same period in 2018. The real estate sales revenues are recorded at the moment of handing over the premises to the buyer. Therefore, the revenues from sales of real estate of the Company depend on the completion of the residential developments. The improvement of the results of the second quarter was influenced by continuous active sales of Kristina Houses development in Tallinn, River Breeze Residence in Riga and the completion of five new buildings in Šaltiniu Namai Attico development in Vilnius, where presales were partly realized in notarised sales transactions in June already and are continuing in the third quarter.
The gross profit for the reporting period of six months was 8.2 million euros and for the second quarter was 4.0 million euros. In the comparable period the gross profit figures were 5.0 million euros and 3.2 million euros respectively. Gross profit margin has increased by 3%.
