Analyst: Adrian Kowollik

While the sale of Russian assets (in total 53,100 sqm) that was announced on

October 31 led to a one-off loss of EUR 30.3m, we believe that the

transaction is very positive for shareholders as it removes the biggest risk

associated with an investment in Warimpex. Management now plans to fully

concentrate on the development of its office projects in Poland (Cracow) and

Germany (Darmstadt). Based on WXF's equity position as of 30/09/2024, the

stock is currently trading at a P/BVPS of just 0.4x. Given much lower

business risk, an improving market environment for real estate companies and

mostly long-term interest-bearing debt, we now recommend to BUY Warimpex's

shares with a new 12-months PT (50% NNNAV, 50% peer group) of EUR 1 (prev.

EUR 1.60). Our new estimates reflect the sale of Russian assets, which in

H1/24 made up c. 36% of Gross Asset Value and accounted for c. 41% of

Warimpex' total revenues. While the company's net gearing remains high, its

hotels and offices generate predictable cash flows.

In its 9M/24 report, Warimpex shows revenues and profits excl. Russia and

assets and liabilities from discontinued Russian operations of EUR 88m and

EUR 63.6m respectively. Total revenues equalled EUR 15.7m (+13.2% y-o-y),

whereby Investment Properties grew by 9.5% y-o-y and Hotels segment by 4.7%.

Due to a remeasurement loss of EUR 5.9m and the loss from discontinued

operations EBIT and net income declined to EUR -6m and EUR -42.8m

respectively. At the end of September 2024, WXF had net debt (incl.

discontinued assets & liabilities) of EUR 130.8m (30/06/2024: EUR 216m,

31/12/2023: EUR 210.3m) and equity (excl. minorities) of EUR 77.2m

(30/06/2024: EUR 117.6m, 31/12/2023: EUR 121.9m).

After the sale of 4 commercial buildings & 1 hotel in St. Petersburg as well

as the MC55 office development project in Polish Bialystok, Warimpex now

still has offices in Cracow, Lodz and Budapest, 1 hotel in Darmstadt as well

as 3 office projects under development (Chopin & Mogilska IV in Cracow, West

Yard in Darmstadt). While Chopin and West Yard already have a building

permit, Mogilska IV is the least developed project. Construction work will

start dependent on market conditions.
