Pierer Mobility: Driven by the high global demand for powered two-wheelers (PTWs), the Pierer Mobility Group, with brands like KTM, Husqvarna or Gasgas, generated record sales and revenue in the first half of the 2021 financial year. In this period, group revenue of Euro 1,078.0 mn (previous year: Euro 600.0 million) was generated, which represents an increase of 80% compared to the same period of the previous year. The operating result (EBIT) of Euro 102.6 mn in the first half of 2021 is significantly above the previous year's result of Euro 1.7 mn. In the first half of 2021, Pierer Mobility AG sold a total of 176,045 motorcycles of the KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles and Gasgas brands worldwide, taking into account the motorcycles sold via its Indian partner Bajaj (previous year: 90,331), almost doubling sales compared to the first half of 2020 (+95%). Furthermore, a total of 53,378 units were sold through the bicycle and e-bike division (+25%), which have been established very successfully. Of these, 39,601 were e-bikes and 13,777 were non e-bikes under the R Raymon, Husqvarna and Gasgas brands. Despite ongoing challenges in the supply chains, a total of 215,646 PTWs (motorcycles and e-bikes) were therefore sold worldwide (+73% compared to the previous year).

Strabag: The publicly listed construction company Strabag SE reported figures for the first half of 2021. The group generated a 3 % higher output volume of Euro 6,943.37 mn in the first half of 2021. This growth is primarily due to the nearly one-fifth increase in the home market of Austria following the temporary suspension of construction activities in the wake of the coronavirus crisis in the same period of the previous year. The order backlog reached again a new record level of Euro 21,101.85 n as at 30 June 2021, an increase of 9 % over 30 June 2020. The backlog grew particularly in the home markets of Germany and Austria thanks to numerous new projects in a wide range of sectors. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 35 % to Euro 406.29 mn in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period of the last year, while earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by approx. Euro 95 mn to Euro 140.19 mn. The Management Board now expects to achieve an output volume above the previous year’s level, i.e. above Euro 15.4 bn, in the 2021 financial year. Previously, only a “slightly” higher output had been projected. The EBIT margin should reach a level close to the target of 4 % set for 2022.

Immofinanz: Real estate company Immofinanz is expanding its real estate offering to affordable and sustainable housing. With Top on Stop, single-storey Stop Shop retail parks will be overbuilt to create low-price, resource-friendly housing and to create up to 12,000 new apartments over the medium-term. “In view of the scarcity and increasing cost of inner-city land and the current housing shortage, we have a massive resource with Europe’s largest network of retail parks. With Top on STOP, we now want to make the best use of this opportunity and, as an experienced real estate developer, offer affordable and sustainable housing and support the responsible use of valuable land resources“, explained Dietmar Reindl, COO of Immofinanz, on the underlying strategy. Immofinanz‘s Stop Shop portfolio currently covers roughly 100 locations in ten European countries, and plans call for an increase to 140 properties over the coming years. The potential for this new housing concept is, therefore, substantial: “Over the medium term, we plan to overbuild roughly 50% of our current and future Stop Shop locations with affordable rental apartments. That would represent up to 600,000 sqm of residential space or nearly 12,000 smart and sustainable apartments. We are starting with pilot projects in Austria and the neighbouring countries and – as with our other real estate products – a high degree of standardisation will then allow for rapid roll-out. Another benefit involves the lower investment costs since we are building on existing properties. This will also generate an attractive residential return for our shareholders in this segment“, indicated CFO Stefan Schönauer.
