22.09.23

Ad hoc announcement pursuant to clause 16 LR BX Swiss 

Patrimonium Urban Opportunity Ltd. registers a significant increase in net profit in the first half of 2023

Patrimonium Urban Opportunity Ltd. (BX Swiss: “PATRI”) announces robust performance in the first half of 2023 and a good return for investors. The company’s asset base has expanded significantly, while renovations and new property acquisition set the stage for future growth.

Resilient commercial real estate market

Despite interest rates hikes and economic uncertainties, the commercial real estate market in Switzerland remains strong.  Continued high demand for prime office spaces, industrial facilities, and logistics surfaces, attests to the strength of the Swiss economy.

Key investments and portfolio growth

In the first semester, Patrimonium Urban Opportunity Ltd. added to its portfolio a key property in Reinach, Kägenstrasse 12/14. The announced merger with its subsidiary Protir SA was successfully concluded with effect as of 1 January 2023, to streamline operations and bolster efficiency. During this period, investments totalling CHF 15.3 million were made, including the acquisition in Reinach and ongoing projects at La Voie-Creuse (Geneva) and Chemin de Mochettaz 7 (Bussigny).

Tenant diversification and financial health

The portfolio remains strong, showing a 7.32-year weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) for key tenants, affirming stability. Patrimonium Urban Opportunity Ltd. maintained financial robustness, with a net profit for Q2 2023 more than doubling and exceeding CHF 3.9 million – a remarkable increase of over 100% compared with the same period last year. Notably, the Net Asset Value (NAV) reached CHF 2.97, which corresponds to an increase of 7.2% over the last 12 months. The net operating income (NOI) grew by 14.5% to CHF 4.16 million, and the rental income saw an uptick of 14.5% to CHF 5.95 million compared to the end of 2022. Finally, a substantial revaluation gain of over CHF 3 million, largely due to recent acquisitions and ongoing projects, significantly strengthened the results.

Forward-looking strategy

Patrimonium Urban Opportunity Ltd. is ahead of schedule on the construction project at Chemin de Mochettaz 7 in Bussigny. The ongoing renovation and repositioning project in the property in Geneva is well under way and will be finalized in the upcoming months. Patrimonium Urban Opportunity Ltd. continues to diligently explore and develop the potential of the other parcels to maximize growth opportunities.

While navigating a challenging environment, we remain optimistic about our trajectory. Our carefully planned investments and resilient cash flows position us well for the future.“, says Hanspeter Berchtold, CIO Real Estate Patrimonium Asset Management Ltd.

Performance and risk

Positive returns (value accretion) in the past are not a guarantee of positive returns in the future. In particular, there is no guarantee that an investor’s capital will be protected or that the value of employed capital or of shares will be equal to or greater than an investor’s original investment when the investor sells his shares or withdraws his capital. Investments in foreign currencies are exposed to the additional risk of unfavourable movements in exchange rates. If an investment is denominated in a currency other than your base currency, changes in the rate of exchange may have an adverse effect on value, price or income. The price and value of investments mentioned and any income that might accrue may fluctuate and may fall or rise. The value of such investments depends in part on the volatility of the corresponding exchange rates, and movements in these rates might bear negatively on the value of invested capital. The potential risks and returns of investments are also dependent on the managers’ investments policies and emphases. The value of investments may go up as well as down. Like any investment, an investment with Patrimonium has risks, in particular the risk of losing the amount invested. The risk factors of the financial instruments discussed on the Website are described in more detail in the fund prospectuses.
