Dear Shareholders,
Dear Stakeholders,
As you can see from the photo, we are now four on the Executive Board. With Martina Maly-Gärtner, UBM gained a top level manager this past summer who will use her proven expertise and personality to add new impulses to our hotel operations and human resources and insurance activities.
We can also report further success in the area of sustainability. The very first evaluation by the internationally recognised ESG rating agency EcoVadis led to Gold for UBM Development AG. That places us among the top two per cent of the branch (property and residential). It also underscores the determined implementation of our strategic focus on green. smart. and more. At UBM, we translate "green" primarily as wood construction. Six per cent of worldwide CO2 emissions result from the production of the concrete and steel used in building construction, the same amount caused by air, ship and rail travel combined. If we are able - at least in part - to substitute wood for concrete and steel, we will use the greatest leverage available to us as a developer to reduce the CO2 footprint of buildings during construction. At the same time, we intend to use our "smartification" to improve sustainable building operations by our buyers and tenants or, during the development phase, to form the basis for more sustainable ope- rations. We have developed a standard during the past year that will serve as a minimum for every new UBM development project.
Man is a social and not a digital being. More and more employers are coming to realise that it is just as important to offer employees a "community" as well as home office. Community can, however, only arise and grow during personal interaction - in other words, when employees return to the office. In addition to interaction, the focus on the feel-well aspect of work is increasing. Offices must present different or additional opportunities. The spectacularly announced "new office worlds" are faced with competition from the comforts people have become accustomed to at home - from the couch to the kitchen instead of a simple kitchenette. In other words: The new office world must not only be "green" and "smart" but, above all, "more".
A successful strategic transformation requires, not least, a solid financial foundation. UBM continued its profitable course during the first three quarters of 2021. With pre-tax earnings of €46.2m, we recorded the second highest nine-month results since our founding. That also applies to earnings per share, which equalled €3.86. The "corona dip" which we announced at the beginning of 2021 has since been replaced by extremely positive results for the current financial year. Low net debt of €409m and comfortable liquidity of €442m give us the manoeuvring room for further new investments, which will allow us to protect UBM's future profitability beyond the earnings contribution from our €2.2 bn pipeline. We are currently in advanced discussions for further project acquisitions. By the way, the transaction volume for the first nine months in Europe was only 4.5% below the five-year average from 2015 to 2019. And the ranking was led by the office sector, followed by residential properties.
For the final quarter of 2021, we expect continued profitable growth and confirm our guidance for pre-tax earnings of €55m to €60m.
