Eastern Property Holdings Limited (EPH) announces 2018 Year End Results

29 April 2019, Road Town, Tortola, BVI

Eastern Property Holdings Ltd (EPH), a real estate investment and development company with focus on Russia and Europe, today announces audited 2018 year-end results:

• NAV of $33.82 per share – decreased from $ 37.43 at YE2017
• Net profit attributable to the shareholders of $29.95 million ($3.02 per share) is fully overlapped by the negative cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) of $65.94 million (reflected as the other comprehensive loss in equity)
• The main factors influencing NAV are:
  • Good stable performance of the rental properties - US$ 68.2 million of net rental income (vs US$ 70.9 million in 2017). Slight decrease is caused primarily by compression of USD equivalent of RUB-denominated rental revenues due to RUB depreciation in 2018
  • US$ 35.67 million decrease in investment property valuations
  • Negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations (taking into account the change in CTA) in the amount of US$ 7.5 million
  • US$ 31.4 million finance costs which mainly include bond interest accrued

• The Company’s investment properties held at fair value are $841.5 million (31 December 2017: $874.8 million). The decrease is mainly caused by negative changes in estimated market rent for the properties with US$-denominated rental cash flows (based on the current market situation) and due to depreciation of RUR against US$ - for the properties with RUR-denominated rental stream.
