(Alliance News) - Globalworth Real Estate Investments Ltd on Friday said it swung to profit in 2021, thanks to a reduced fair value loss on its investment property portfolio.
The Guernsey-based company invests in office properties in central and eastern Europe, with a portfolio in Poland and Romania.
It reported pretax profit of EUR62.1 million last year, compared to a loss of EUR30.5 million in 2020.
Globalworth recorded a fair value loss on investment property of just EUR5.7 million, compared to EUR116.2 million in 2020.
Revenue slipped slightly by 1.7% to EUR219.4 million in 2021 from EUR223.3 million, with higher expenses driving net operating income down 8.3% to EUR144.3 million from EUR157.3 million.
Shares in Globalworth were down 5.1% to EUR5.58 in London on Friday morning.
Total combined portfolio value rose 3.9% to EUR3.2 billion as of December 31. Preliminary EPRA net reinstatement value was EUR1.9 billion, or EUR8.66 per share at December 31, a slight decrease from EUR8.68 a year before.
Globalworth said this was partly due to the payout of dividends in 2021 of EUR0.30 per share. It made no comment about dividend plans for 2022.
