Warimpex: Real estate developer Warimpex Group remained on solid financial footing in the first half of 2021. The Group’s result for the period climbed into positive territory in the first half of 2021, rising from minus Euro 21.7 mn in the prior-year period to Euro 1.7 mn. Total revenues dropped by 7 per cent to Euro 12.8 mn, while the expenses directly attributable to revenues were reduced by 33 per cent to Euro 4.4 mn. This results in gross income from revenues of Euro 8.4 mn, which represents an increase of 17 per cent versus the prior-year period. In 2021, Warimpex’s activities will focus on making preparations for construction for its development projects, obtaining building permits, and continuing ongoing construction. The topic of sustainability is playing an increasingly important role here. After all, energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources, and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions are key requirements for the construction and operation of buildings. Therefore, Warimpex aims to obtain further sustainability certifications for the property portfolio. In Poland, forexample, the two office buildings Mogilska 43 Office in Krakow and Ogrodowa Office in Łódź have been awarded Breeam In-Use – Excellent certification, which confirms the properties’ high environmental standards. In closing, Franz Jurkowitsch had the following comment: “Following the lifting of many of the coronavirus measures, we expect to see an upward trend in the hotel segment and continued stable development in the office segment in the second half of 2021. Based on our positive half-year results – despite hotel closures and pandemic-related restrictions – Warimpex expects to generate a profit from its operational activities for the 2021 financial year as a whole. We believe that we are in a solid position for the coming tasks, both financially and in terms of our personnel, and look forward to continuing the realisation of our projects.”
