Vesteda Annual Report 2014 available
Total return of 5.8% in 2014; outperforming ipd netherlands' residential benchmark
In 2014, the real estate market saw a return to favourable conditions for the first time since the beginning of the crisis in 2008. Vesteda's performance in 2014 clearly improved as well.
Thanks to the strong improvement of both realised and unrealised results, Vesteda booked a net result before tax of EUR136.2 million, compared to a loss of EUR59.3 million in 2013. Total return, as % of opening equity, amounted to 5.8% (5.0% realised return, 0.8% unrealised return).
Vesteda outperformed the IPD Netherlands `All Residentials, All Investments' benchmark, both on the direct return (+0.5%) and indirect return (+0.1%).
The improvement in realised result largely resulted from improved occupancy levels in all segments of the portfolio, the focus on individual unit sales, rather than the sale of entire complexes, reduced interest charges as a result of the BBB corporate credit rating as received from Standard &
Poor's and several refinancing activities including the subsequent bond issue.
