Eastern Property Holdings Limited (EPH): Third Quarter 2018 Financial Update

30 November 2018, Road Town, Tortola, BVI

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • During the first nine months of 2018 EPH rental properties generated $51.63 million of net rental income (9 months 2017: $52.13 million). The contribution to net rental income of each property is presented in the table below. The slight decrease of income in Berlin House and Polar Lights is caused by the tenants’ rotation and Rouble depreciation (for Polar Lights) during the period. It was almost fully compensated by the increase of income in other properties as well as the additional income generated by new German property, Work Life Center, acquired at the end of 2017;
  • Cash generated by the rental properties is sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses, including payment of interest on the bonds issued by the Company;
  • The Rouble/US dollar exchange rate fluctuation continues to be one of the main factors affecting the Company’s operating results and net asset value: for nine months of 2018 positive FX gain recognised in the Company’s income statement is overlapped by negative change in currency translation adjustment recognized directly in equity by $5.2 million;
  • Increase in Rouble value of assets under development (apartments in Arbat development) was outbalanced by depreciation of Rouble against US dollar, resulting in decrease in US$ value of the assets.
