Branicks Group AG Projects Steady Growth and Structural Optimization in 2024

Branicks Group AG, a prominent real estate firm based in Germany, has reaffirmed its financial projections for 2024 following a positive start to the year. The company reported a like-for-like rental growth of 4.6% and funds from operations (FFO) after minority interests totaling EUR 9.0 million. These encouraging figures come despite the general market challenges and a decrease in gross rental income from EUR 50.4 million to EUR 44.4 million year-on-year.

The firm has continued its strategic reorganization of financial structures, successfully halving its bridge financing from the previous year and progressing with repayment plans. This restructuring supports Branicks Group's financial stability as it navigates through a transformative phase aimed at reducing debt and enhancing its ESG-focused business model.

Moreover, Branicks Group is expanding its asset portfolio to include renewable energy investments, highlighting a forward-looking approach to business growth and sustainability. This initiative aligns with its commitment to ESG principles and positions the company to capitalize on emerging market opportunities in renewable resources.

The company reaffirmed its commitment to achieving a reduced loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and anticipates a return to positive net cash flow and net profit by the end of 2026, driven by strategic asset sales and an expected recovery in the transaction market.
