Publication of Half-Yearly Financial Report - period from
1 January 2018 to 30 June 2018
Antwerp, Belgium - 20 August 2018 - Xior Student Housing NV, the Belgian real estate investment trust (BE-REIT) specialising in student housing in Belgium and the Netherlands, is pleased to announce the publication of its 2018 Half-Yearly Financial Report.
Xior is continuing its growth trajectory and confirms its objectives for 2018: confirmation of expected minimum EPRA earnings of EUR 1.43 per share and a gross dividend of EUR 1.20 per share, while the amount of outstanding shares increased by 60% in the course of 2018.
EPRA earnings for the first half of the year amount to EUR 0.64 per share1, i.e. a 39% increase compared with H1 2017 (EUR 0.70 per share after IFRIC 21 adjustment).
EPRA earnings over H1 2018 amount to EUR 5.85 million, an increase of 131% compared with H1 2017 (EUR 6.36 million incl. IFRIC 21 adjustment).
The net rental result has increased to EUR 12.97 million, an increase of 76% compared with H1 2017.
This net rental result will continue to increase in the course of 2018, as certain acquisitions are planned for the second half of 2018 and because certain acquisitions have not yet contributed to the full half-year up to the publication of the result as at 30 June 2018.
The net result (IFRS) is KEUR 531, due to the variance in the valuation of the interest rate swaps (EUR - 2,8 million) and provision for deferred taxes (EUR -2,6 million).
The successful capital increase of EUR 134 million in June 2018 ensures that the debt ratio has fallen to 39.26% compared to 53.62% as at 31 December 2017. Estimated debt ratio per end 2018 of approximately 50% upon realisation of the committed pipeline.
The occupancy rate has increased to 98.45% compared to 97.90% as at 31 December 2017.
The property portfolio has risen to EUR 612 million, which is an increase of 25.2% when compared to 31 December 2017, with 4,105 lettable student units. If all acquisitions and redevelopments in the committed pipeline are completed, the portfolio will increase to approximately EUR 775 million with more than 6,600 lettable student units.
For more information, please refer to the Half-Yearly Financial Report for H1 2018, which is now published and available on Xior's website(Dutch andEnglish).
1 The figures per share are based on the weighted average number of shares depending on the respective dividend entitlements, unless stated otherwise.
