Mayr-Melnhof: The Mayr-Melnhof Group, world’s largest producer of coated recycled fiber-based cartonboard, was able to maintain well its position as a whole in the first half-year of 2019 in an environment marked by increasingly muted demand and growing competitive intensity. The consolidated sales of the Group rose by 9.0 % to Euro 1,275.5 mn. EBITDA increased by 14.5 % to Euro 191.6 mn. At Euro 124.0 mn, the operating profit was 8.5 %. One-off acquisition effects from the initial consolidation of the Tann-Group totaling Euro -4.8 mn were reported due to recognition of order backlog and inventory measurement. The operating margin was at 9.7 % (1st half of 2018: 9.8 %). Profit before tax increased accordingly by 9.7 % to Euro 122.6 mn. The profit for the period rose by 10.3 % to Euro 92.3 mn.

Vienna Airport: Vienna Airport Reports Further Growth in H1/2019. Revenue generated by the Flughafen Wien Group in H1/2019 improved by 7.5% to Euro 401.4 mn, and EBITDA improved by 9.3% to Euro 183.1 mn. EBIT in H1/2019 increased by 12.1% to Euro 117.2 mn, the net profit for the period before non-controlling interests climbed 14.6% in H1/2019 to Euro 82.9 mn.  “Vienna Airport is expanding in all areas. Revenue and earnings increased considerably, the Airport City is growing, and we are making extensive investments in modernising the infrastructure. However, we are growing in a responsible manner. Since 2011 we have succeeded in reducing CO₂ emissions by about 70% per traffic unit and energy consumption by 40%. Vienna Airport will be CO₂ neutral by the year 2030, in spite of further growth in flight traffic and at the flight hub”, explains Günther Ofner, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG. The Flughafen Wien Group including the foreign strategic investments in Malta Airport and Kosice Airport handled a total of 18.1 million passengers in the period January to June 2019, comprising a year-on-year rise of 19.9% from the prior-year level.

Addiko Group: Addiko Group, a Consumer and SME specialist bank headquartered in Austria, released its consolidated half year 2019 financial report. The Bank reported a 1H19 result after tax of Euro 20.2 mn including one-offs (1H18: Euro 92.8 mn). The adjusted result after tax of Euro 28.5 mn improved by 43.6% compared to 1H18 (1H18: 19.9 million). The adjustments in 1H19 are largely a result of recognising restructuring costs as part of cost initiatives to be executed during 2H19, costs related to the IPO, impacts due to provisions in connection with legal matters on CHF loans in Croatia and fewer releases related to resolved legal cases compared to 1H18. The 1H18 result was predominantly influenced by the fair value recognition of the Tier 2 conversion (EUR 61 million). The reported credit loss expenses as of 1H19, which once again resulted in releases, include the negative impact from the CHF conversion law for mortgage loans in Serbia (EUR 8.1 million), enacted during 2Q19, still lower compared to 1H18. The positive development is also reflected by the improved adjusted return on tangible equity with 7.0% (YE18: 3.7%). The return on tangible equity (@14.1% CET1 Ratio) on an adjusted basis increased to 8.2% (YE18: 4.2%). “Our listing on July 12th marked a significant milestone for our company and confirms that there is demand for a specialist player with an established financial track record, which challenges the traditional universal banks with a simpler and focused model, serving Consumers and SMEs by offering convenience and speed. We are fully focused on continuing our successful journey as a public company, executing our strategy and delivering value to our customers and our shareholders.”,said Razvan Munteanu, CEO of Addiko Bank AG.

S Immo: S Immo Germany has been active in Erfurt since the beginning of 2018, thus continuing its strategy of investing in major cities with value-enhancement potential. Robert Neumüller, managing director of S Immo Germany, sees Erfurt as a consistent continuation of the strategy to invest beyond the country’s capital: “Erfurt has been on our list for quite some time now. It wasn’t easy to access the market at first, and our sounding process took a while. So we are all the more excited that we now have over 33 properties in our portfolio. This is a great size that allows for efficient management.” Initially, the company purchased residential buildings in the sought-after Gründerzeit districts surrounding the medieval old town. The positive population trend – Erfurt has been steadily growing again for several years – and the relatively low vacancy rate suggest that rental income will see sustainable growth. The company has now broken into the commercial real estate market as well, securing two centrally located office properties that are well known in the city for its portfolio: the former Reichsbahndirektion building located directly on the forecourt of the rail station and the no less historic royal Prussian gun factory on Maximilian-Welsch-Strasse. “We expect the market to continue growing and expect to see a positive trend for rents and property prices. Erfurt is an exciting city for us where we want to make further purchases,” said Neumüller.
