Branicks Group AG: Fully on track with sales and financial consolidation
Frankfurt am Main, July 1, 2024: Branicks Group AG ("Branicks"), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany's leading listed real estate companies, has already achieved well over 50% of its sales target for 2024 in its own portfolio (Commercial Portfolio) in the first six months of the financial year. In the gradually recovering transaction market, Branicks notarized sales of more than EUR 300 million in the first half of the year. In its annual outlook for the Commercial Portfolio, Branicks had set a sales target of EUR 500-600 million for the year as a whole. The sale of a package of 12 logistics properties from the portfolio of VIB Vermögen AG (VIB), in which Branicks holds around 69%, to the international logistics real estate developer P3 Logistic Parks made a significant contribution. The sale was notarized in June and reported by VIB today. In addition, further sales are in the pipeline. The successful transaction performance supports the scheduled progress in the financial consolidation of Branicks. At the end of the second quarter, a further EUR 40 million of the bridge financing for the VIB assets was repaid, after EUR 40 million had already been repaid in the first quarter. In accordance with the restructuring plan drawn up and approved on the basis of the corporate planning reviewed by independent experts, the remaining amount of the bridge financing of EUR 120 million will be repaid by the end of 2024 at the latest. "By the middle of the financial year, we had already notarized well over half of our sales target in the Commercial Portfolio for 2024, and our sales pipeline remains well filled. We are making excellent progress in the increasingly active transaction market. Our financial consolidation is progressing according to plan. In conjunction with our strategic focus, which has already been broadened to include the renewables asset class, Branicks Group AG is gradually taking on new contours and actively positioning itself for the future," commented Sonja Wärntges, CEO of Branicks.
