Highlights
Continued progress in executing the Group's strategy to focus the portfolio towards prime shopping centres in Poland and the Czech Republic:\nsigned an agreement to acquire Atrium's fifth asset in Warsaw, King Cross shopping centre, for EUR43m with completion expected in Q2 2019. This is a well-connected and established retail destination with a diverse tenant mix including strong national and international tenants\nmonetised 13% of the land bank with the completion of a EUR28m land disposal in Gdansk, Poland at around book value\n1.4% improvement in EPRA like-for-like net rental income ("NRI") excluding Russia or 0.2% growth across the portfolio\nHigher quality cash flow generated from acquisitions and the opening of three extensions in Warsaw in Q4 2018 offset the impact from disposals including the exit from Hungary and Romania, resulting in a 1.0% increase in NRI excluding Russia\nEBITDA stable at EUR41m while the EBITDA margin remained strong at 89% (Q1 2018: 88%)\nLFL NRI in Russia decreased by 2.9% mainly as a result of specific tenants exiting the market and subsequent retenanting initiatives\nBalance sheet well positioned to support growth with EUR54m cash and equivalents, EUR257m unutilized revolving credit facility and a net LTV of 37.6%.\nLiad Barzilai, Chief Executive Officer of Atrium Group, commented: "During the first quarter we began to see the new high quality income flowing through from the extensions we opened at Atrium's three prime retail destinations in Warsaw at the end of last year which, coupled with the income from acquisitions, helped to offset the loss of income from our disposal programme. We have also made further significant progress with our portfolio repositioning by monetising 13% of the Company's land bank through the sale of a land parcel in Gdansk and by agreeing to the acquisition of a well located local shopping centre in Warsaw. We continue to work on strengthening our portfolio through redevelopments and asset rotation and have a strong balance sheet to support the execution of our strategy."
