Hepsor AS consolidated unaudited interim report for Q1 2024

Hepsor AS consolidated unaudited interim report for Q1 2024
The consolidated sales revenue of Hepsor AS
amounted to 2.3 million euros in the first quarter of 2024 and the
net loss was 0.97 million euros (including a net loss attributable
to the owners of the parent of 0.88 million euros).
The Group’s revenues and profitability are
directly dependent on the development cycle of projects, which is
approximately 24 to 36 months. Sales revenue is generated only at
the end of the cycle. Calendar quarters vary in terms of the number
of projects ending during the quarter, which is why both profits
and sales revenue can differ significantly across quarters.
Therefore, performance can be considerably weaker or stronger in
some years and quarters than in others.
The portfolio of the company’s development
projects and three-year average financial results are a better
criteria for assessing the group’s performance in order to assess
the overall sustainability and economic results of a real estate
development company.
In 2024, we forecast sales revenue of €43.1
million, net profit of €4.5 million, and net profit attributable to
the parent company's shareholders of €2.5 million. In the first
quarter of 2024 we started with the sale of Manufaktuuri 5. Sales
revenue of the first quarter of 2024 includes sales from completed
projects in previous years, with sales from these projects
continuing throughout the rest of 2024. However, a significant
portion of the projected revenue for 2024 will come from projects
that will be completed starting from the second quarter of
2024.
Completed development projects
In the first quarter of 2024, the last
apartment in the Marupe Darz project near Riga was handed over. In
Tallinn, the handover of apartments continued in the Paevälja
Courtyard Houses project completed in 2022 (3 apartments), and one
apartment was handed over in the Lilleküla Homes project completed
at the end of 2023. The first house was completed in the Ojakalda
Homes project in March, and the handover of the first homes began
in March - 7 real rights contracts were concluded.
There were no significant changes in commercial
real estate. As of the end of the first quarter, the
environmentally friendly Grüne building completed in Tallinn in
2023 was 96% occupied, and we are working on finding a new tenant
for the recently vacated space. Regarding Büroo 113, reported as an
associated company, we were preparing for the signing of new lease
agreements. The vacancy in the Büroo 113 building arose because in
the fall of 2023, we were forced to terminate the lease agreement
with the anchor tenant due to their arrears.
Development projects under construction and
available for sale
In the first quarter of 2024, Hepsor had four
residential development projects under construction, totaling 329
apartments:
- As part of the Ojakalda Homes development project, three
apartment buildings with a total of 101 apartments will be built in
Tallinn, of which the first building was completed in March, and
the completion of the remaining two buildings is planned for the
second quarter of 2024. The signing of real rights contracts began
in March.
- Manufaktuuri 7 (150 apartments and 453 m2 of commercial space)
in Tallinn, set to be completed in the summer, with the
commencement of initial real rights contracts planned for
June-July.
- Nameja Rezidence (38 apartments) in Riga, scheduled for
completion in the third quarter of 2024, coinciding with the
commencement of the first real rights contract signings.
- Annenhof House (40 apartments) in Riga, expected to be
completed in early 2025, with most of the sales revenue also
reflected in 2025.
As of March 31, 2024, contracts under the law of
obligations and written reservations have been made for a total of
148 apartments (45%) across these four projects.
Hepsor in Canada
Hepsor began developing its Canadian business
line in the spring of 2022 after the start of the war in Ukraine
with the aim of finding new growth opportunities and diversifying
the geopolitical risks associated with the current home markets.
Within two years, a network of cooperation has been built in
Canada, from legal and financial advisors to banks, market analysis
and brokerage companies.
In the first quarter of 2024, no new investments
were made in Canada. As of the end of the first quarter, Hepsor,
together with its Canadian partners, has made two investments:
- A property located at 3406-3434 Weston Road, Toronto.
- 3 properties in Toronto at the address 164-168 Isabella
Street.
Both investments have been acquired for the
purpose of land development, which is expected to take
approximately 2-2.5 years.
Outlook for 2024
A key focus for 2024 is the Manufaktuuri Quarter
- new homes and commercial spaces will be completed at the address
Manufaktuuri 7, and in the second quarter, the reconstruction of
the former Baltic Cotton Spinning and Weaving Factory building
located at historic Manufaktuuri 5 into a modern A-class
energy-efficient building will commence. We are creating a
comprehensive living environment in the Manufaktuuri Quarter,
highlighting historical architecture with modern technical
solutions, valuing the environment, and considering sustainable
transportation methods. Manufaktuuri 5 includes both residential
and commercial spaces. Additionally, we plan to start construction
and sales of two new projects in Latvia in 2024 - the StokOfiss 34
office building (with approximately 9,000 m2 of leasable space) and
the Zala Jugla project with 105 new homes.
While customers are not making quick purchase
decisions today, interest in our projects remains, so we are
moderately optimistic and continue the implementation of existing
and new projects.
