Orascom Development Holding AG: erwartet für das Geschäftsjahr 2013 einen Reinverlust in Höhe von CHF 145-160 Millionen (2012: Verlust von CHF 97 Millionen) Mittwoch, 19. März 2014 - 07:04

Orascom Development erwartet für das Geschäftsjahr 2013 einen Reinverlust
in Höhe von CHF 145-160 Millionen (2012: Verlust von CHF 97 Millionen)

Für das Geschäftsjahr 2013 erwartet Orascom Development einen
Umsatzrückgang von etwa 18-20% gegenüber der Vorjahresperiode. Des Weiteren
geht Orascom Development basierend auf ersten Indikationen von einem
Reinverlust in der Höhe von CHF 145-160 Millionen aus. Der Verlust ist
hauptsächlich auf das anspruchsvolle Marktumfeld und die politische Lage im
Kernmarkt Ägypten zurückzuführen. Die wesentlichen Treiber dieses Verlustes
sind: gesunkene Umsätze, in geringerem Umfang kapitalisierte
Finanzierungskosten, die Abwertung des ägyptischen Pfunds sowie
Rückstellungen, Abschreibungen auf Beteiligungen und eine Neubewertung von
Steuerabgrenzungspositionen.

Altdorf/Kairo, 19. März 2014 - Basierend auf ersten Indikationen erwartet
Orascom Development Holding AG (Orascom Development) für das Geschäftsjahr
2013 einen Umsatzrückgang von etwa 18-20% gegenüber der Vorjahresperiode.
Der Rückgang ist hauptsächlich auf niedrigere Auslastungsraten der Hotels
in Ägypten sowie ferner auf gesunkene Umsätze im Bereich Immobilien und Bau
zurückzuführen.

Darüber hinaus wurde das Gruppenergebnis durch hohe Fixkosten, aufgrund der
gesunkenen Bauaktivität in geringerem Umfang kapitalisierte
Finanzierungskosten sowie durch die  Abwertung des ägyptischen Pfunds
negativ beeinflusst. Zudem trugen Einmaleffekte wie Rückstellungen,
Abschreibungen auf Beteiligungen und eine Neubewertung von
Steuerabgrenzungspositionen wesentlich zu dem Verlust bei. Insgesamt geht
Orascom Development von einem Reinverlust nach Minderheiten in der Höhe von
CHF 145-160 Millionen aus, verglichen mit CHF 97 Millionen in der
Vorjahresperiode.

Wie bereits früher bekannt gegeben, werden die Resultate für das
Geschäftsjahr 2013 am 15. April 2014 publiziert.

Orascom Development expects to report a net loss in the range of CHF
145-160 million for the year 2013 (2012: CHF 97 million net loss)

Orascom Development expects to report an 18-20% decrease in consolidated
revenues for the year 2013 compared to the same period of last year. Based
on first indications Orascom Development further expects a net loss in the
range of CHF 145-160 million mainly due to the challenging market
environment   caused by the political instability in Egypt. The main
contributors to the bottom-line loss are: reduced revenues,   lower
capitalization of financing costs, Egyptian Pound devaluation in addition
to provisions, impairments of investments and reassessment of the
recoverability of deferred tax assets

Altdorf/Cairo, 19 March 2013 - First indications show that during 2013 the
consolidated revenue of Orascom Development Holding's AG (Orascom
Development) decreased in the range of 18-20% compared to the same period
of last year. The decrease is mainly resulting from lower hotel operations
in Egypt and partly due to lower real estate and construction revenues.

In addition to the reduced turnover, the group's performance was impacted
by high overhead costs, lower capitalization of financing costs resulting
from reduced construction activities and the devaluation of the Egyptian
Pound. Furthermore, one-off items including provisions, impairment of
investments and reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets
have also significantly contributed to the net loss. In sum, Orascom
Development expects a net loss after minorities in the range of CHF 145-160
million compared to a CHF 97 million net loss in the same period of last
year.

The full set of the year end results for FY 2013 will be published on 15
April 2014 as earlier announced.
