Madison Property AG: Pre-sales affected by challenging market environment
Berlin/Frankfurt, March 06, 2012 - Due to lower than expected pre-sales in
the third quarter of the financial year 2011/12, it is likely that Chinese
property developer Madison Property AG (ISIN DE000A0V9KR3 / WKN A0V9KR /
Ticker MPD) will not meet its guidance for the full financial year. Up
until now, the guidance envisaged a turnover of RMB 1.0 billion (about EUR
104 million) and a net profit margin of 12 to 14%.
After having secured pre-sales of around 60% of the full year sales target
in the first half of the financial year 2011/2012, Madison Property
registered an additional pre-sales of less than 10% of the full year sales
target during the recent third quarter. This decrease in pre-sales resulted
from the enforced macro-control measures for the real estate market
implemented by the Chinese government. Although no signal of easing of such
measures have been noticed yet by the company, the upcoming meetings of the
National People´s Congress and the CPPCC National Committee held in March,
could lead to some degree of easing. As the construction of the real estate
projects is progressing as planned and a relaxation of the challenging
market environment might still occur, the management team is still trying
to achieve its annual targets and has decided not to publish a detailed new
guidance for the full year 2011/2012.
