Immofinanz: Rental income of real estate company Immofinanz rose by 0.5% to Euro 74.8 mn in the first quarter. Positive results from property sales and property development as well as cost savings supported an improvement of 6.7% in the results of operations to Euro 46.4 mn. Net profit of 123.1 mn is significantly higher than the first quarter of the previous year  (Q1 2020: Euro -37.6 mn).  CEO Ronny Pecik: “The progress of the EU-wide vaccination campaigns makes us optimistic concerning developments during the rest of this year, and we are continuing to work on value-creating expansion with our crisis-resistant real estate brands – as we recently showed with the acquisition of an office property at a top location in Bucharest and further acquisitions for our STOP SHOP retail park format.“ FFO 1 from the standing investment business (before tax and including accrued interest for bonds) amounted to Euro 34.5 mn (Q1 2020: Euro 40.0 mn). This decline is attributable, above all, to the year-on-year, crisis-related increase in receivables write-offs from asset management, which represent an important contribution to supporting our tenants during the pandemic.

Zumtobel: Lightning group Zumtobel Group announced, that its net profit is substantially higher than the previous financial year at Euro 45.6 mn (2019/20: Euro 14.5 mn) and, therefore, also exceeds the target corridor of Euro 24 mn to Euro 34 mn which was previously communicated by the Management Board. The improvement over the target corridor is based on a slight increase in revenues and, above all, on higher positive effects from income taxes. Revenues declined 7.7% year-on-year to Euro 1,044.5 min.
Zumtobel: weekly performance: 5.74%
