IMMOFINANZ has standardised the marketing for its international STOP SHOP retail park brand, which covers nearly 70 locations in eight countries. The new claim “easy shopping“ summarises the central brand drivers: STOP SHOP is the appealing and practical local supplier with a diverse product offering that provides attractive value for money and can be easily reached through good traffic connections. All promotional campaigns will now be developed in the Vienna headquarters and used for STOP SHOP advertising in all countries. The current “back to school“ campaign marks the kick-off for this new marketing approach.
IMMOFINANZ recorded a significant increase in net profit to EUR 105.3 million in the first half of 2017 (H1 2016: EUR -243.3 million). Net profit from continuing operations, i.e. excluding Russia, totalled EUR 113.1 million (H1 2016: EUR -123.9 million). Rental income remained stable at EUR 114.9 million (H1 2016: EUR 115.9 million) despite the continuing sale of non-strategic properties.
Viktor Nagy, IMMOFINANZ Country Manager Operations Hungary gives a few pointers about ensuring that the needs of tenants and their employees are met, and exceeded.
IMMOFINANZ generated results of operations totalling EUR 87.6 million in the first two quarters of the abbreviated 2016 financial year, for an increase of 28.2% over the comparable prior year period. This growth was supported, above all, by an improvement in the results of asset management (plus 5.1% to EUR 107.3 million) following a substantial decline in the write-off of receivables in Russia and lower vacancy-related and operating costs charged to building owners as well as a reduction in other operating expenses (from EUR -53.5 million to EUR -26.1 million).
IMMOFINANZ is continuing the expansion of its successful STOP SHOP retail park portfolio with the acquisition of eight locations in Slovakia and Hungary. The purchase price for these properties totals approx. EUR 79.0 million. The newly acquired retail parks have an occupancy rate of roughly 98% and generate annual rental income of approx. EUR 6.6 million.
IMMOFINANZ recorded net profit of EUR -390.4 million for the 2015/16 financial year (2014/15:EUR -376.6 million). The year-on-year decline resulted primarily from EUR -469.8 million of negative effects from the foreign exchange-adjusted valuation of the Russian portfolio and from a decrease in rental income to EUR 314.5 million (2014/15: EUR 385.6 million) which was caused by temporary rent reductions in Moscow and the planned sale of properties.
IMMOFINANZ is continuing the expansion of its STOP SHOP retail park chain at a fast pace: the 57th location was opened today in the Polish city of Szczytno. After Niš in Serbia and Świnoujście in Poland, this represents the third project completion in two months – and the next locations have already been identified: a STOP SHOP will open in the Serbian city of Valjevo during early autumn, and in Poland preparations are underway for retail parks in Pultusk and Gdynia.
IMMOFINANZ raised the occupancy level in its office standing investments by roughly seven percentage points to nearly 82% by the end of the 2015/16 financial year (as of 30 April 2016). Rentals in the office segment totalled approx. 388,000 sqm, or 29% of the total area, according to preliminary numbers.
