Second quarter 2017/18:

• Basic earnings amount to DKK 4.2 million (DKK 5.9 million).

The lower basic earnings are primarily due to increased net losses on mortgage deeds (DKK 1.1 million) and direct expenses relating to investment properties (DKK 0.8 million).

• The Group’s profit before tax amounts to DKK 6.5 million (DKK 10.5 million).

Half-year 2017/18:

• Basic earnings for the half-year amount to DKK 9.2 million (DKK 13.1 million).

Basic earnings for the half-year are negatively affected by an increase in net losses on mortgage deeds (DKK 2.3 million), a decrease in rental income (DKK 0.8 million) and an increase in financial expenses (DKK 0.5 million).

• The Group’s results before tax for the half-year show a profit of DKK 9.4 million (DKK 23.4 million).

For the half-year 2017/18, results before tax are affected by gains and fair value adjustments of DKK 0.2 million relating to bonds and shares as well as interest swaps; similarly, results before tax for the half-year 2016/17 were positively affected by DKK 10.3 million. Adjusted for these items, profit before tax amounts to DKK 9.2 million for the half-year 2017/18 compared to DKK 13.1 million for the half-year 2016/17.
