Branicks Group AG: VIB bridge financing fully repaid

  • Final payment of EUR 40 million made at the start of the fourth quarter
  • Key objective of the restructuring plan achieved ahead of schedule
  • Interest expense declining

Frankfurt am Main, October 07, 2024: Branicks Group AG (“Branicks”), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany's leading listed real estate companies, has fully repaid the bridge financing for the acquisition of VIB Vermögen AG with a final payment of EUR 40 million at the start of the fourth quarter. This means that a key objective of the company's restructuring plan has been achieved well before the end of the financial year.

“Our operationally pleasing business performance and our transaction activities in the first three quarters of the current financial year form the framework for the very satisfactory progress of our restructuring. With the full repayment of the bridge financing for the VIB acquisition, we have now reached an important milestone early on and at the same time significantly reduced our interest expenses from the fourth quarter, commented Sonja Wärntges, CEO of Branicks Group AG, on the current development.  

To acquire VIB Vermögen AG, Branicks had originally entered into bridge financing of EUR 500 million in March 2022, of which EUR 300 million was repaid in two stages in the 2023 financial year. In the first half of 2024, Branicks had already repaid EUR 80 million of the bridge financing in two further stages and a further EUR 80 million in August. With the current repayment step, the bridge has been repaid in full. The repayment, which was originally scheduled for the end of 2024, was part of the company's restructuring plan adopted in the spring. The target has now been achieved ahead of schedule at the start of the fourth quarter. The Group's net interest income in the first half of the financial year amounted to EUR -54.6 million. The average interest rate on liabilities had already fallen to 3.21% by the end of the first half of the year, and interest expenses are expected to fall noticeably from the fourth quarter onwards thanks to the bridge repayment.
