Warimpex: Impairments weigh down half-year results despite stable revenues

Vienna/Warsaw, 30 August 2024 – The first half of 2024 continued to be shaped by difficult market conditions, with high interest rates, elevated prices, and in part lower property valuations. On the whole, this resulted in a loss for the period of EUR 8.8 million for Warimpex despite stable revenues. An initial turning point was seen when the ECB lowered the key rate in June 2024. “Despite the continuing challenges,…

Warimpex starts off 2024 with stable operating results

Vienna/Warsaw, 29 May 2024 – Warimpex is starting off the year 2024 in a persistently challenging market
environment characterised by high interest rates and elevated prices. This is reflected in a weaker profit for

Warimpex in 2023: Positive operating result, but significant measurement losses

Vienna/Warsaw, 29 April 2024 – The high interest rate levels and elevated construction costs posed a tremendous challenge for the entire real estate sector last year, and Warimpex was no exception to this trend. Nevertheless, the company generated a clearly positive operating result, with a 10 per cent increase in revenues to EUR 49.7 million. This success is contrasted by significant property valuation losses totalling EUR 38.3 million, which can be attributed above all to the development of interest rates and the effects of the conflict in Ukraine. Thus, the result for the period fell from EUR 42.9 million in the previous year to minus EUR 23.8 million.
