DIC Asset AG expects funds from operations of EUR 90 to 97 million for 2023 – Management Board decides on dividend proposal in the amount of EUR 0.75 per share
Frankfurt am Main, 25 January 2023.
Today, DIC Asset AG (“DIC”), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, set its targets for the 2023 financial year and stated its expectation to see funds from operations/FFO (before taxes, after non-controlling interests)* in the amount of EUR 90 to 97 million. According to preliminary, unaudited figures, the FFO during the 2022 financial year added up to c. EUR 114.2 million, and were thus within the projected range of EUR 114 to 117 million. Moreover, on the basis of the provisional, unaudited annual financial statements the Management Board resolved today to propose to the Supervisory Board a dividend in the amount of EUR 0.75 per share for the 2022 financial year (previous year: EUR 0.75 per share). The resolution on the appropriation of profits is subject to the Supervisory Board’s approval, which will decide in the matter during its balance sheet meeting on 14 February 2023. The main reason why the company expects a year-on-year decline in FFO are the persistently challenging parameters on the real estate investment market. Considering that the interest environment has changed since 2022 and that the ramifications of a slowed business cycle on real estate demand in Germany remain unclear, the Management Board also expects acquisitions and disposals to be subject to delays, especially during the first half of 2023, which will impact the total FFO expected for the 2023 financial year. In this context, specifically the transaction-related management fees in the third-party business for institutional investors (Institutional Business) are expected to decline.
* Explanatory note: funds from operations in property management before amortisations, taxes, gains on sales and development projects, as well as from other one-off or non-cash earnings components, after non-controlling interests.
