+++ Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co KGaA publishes 2008 Annual Report
+++ Net loss for 2008 increases from EUR 25.1m to EUR 28.6m
+++ EBITDA of EUR 5.9m in comparison to EUR -6.1m in the previous year
Frankfurt am Main, 31 March 2009 - Heliad Equity Partners (ISIN:
DE000A0L1NN5) has today published its 2008 Annual Report and, consequently,
revealed its IFRS consolidated figures for the previous fiscal year.
Proceeds from the sale of financial assets and securities amounted to EUR
40.8m (previous year: EUR 8.9m). Earnings generated before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improved significantly to EUR 5.9m
(previous year: EUR -6.1m) due to successful exits and relatively good
operating performance by the majority of holdings.
The figures for EBIT and the net loss for the year published on 6 March
2009 have been revised as a result of further depreciations on financial
assets in the amount of EUR 3.4m. The realised EBIT is consequently EUR
-27.8m (previous year: EUR 4.2m) and the net loss for the year EUR 28.6m
(net income of EUR 5.0m in the previous year's financial statements). The
corresponding loss per share is EUR 0.41 (previous year's earnings: EUR
0.07). Depreciations of financial assets therefore total EUR 34.4m, of
which shareholdings in listed companies accounted for EUR 24.8m. Compared
to the provisional figures, the higher write-downs primarily involve
additional fair value adjustments resulting in a EUR 3.1m devaluation of
holdings in partner funds specialising in buyout, venture and early-stage
financing to reflect the current difficult market environment, especially
in the venture and early-stage segments.
Heliad's consolidated equity ratio amounted to 68% as at the balance sheet
date (previous year: 78%). Cash amounted to EUR 24.9m based on the
statutory accounts (HGB) and EUR 35.8 in the group.
As at 31 December 2008, NAV amounted to EUR 0.93. Based on a share price of
EUR 0.34 as at the valuation date, this equates to a discount of about 63%.
To facilitate better comparison, the following table shows the audited
consolidated IFRS figures alongside the published provisional figures and
the previous year's results.
