One United Properties targets turnover of EUR 349.9 million and gross profit of EUR 123.5 million in 2024

One United Properties (BVB: ONE), the leading green developer of residential, mixed-use and office real estate in Romania, proposes to the shareholders consolidated turnover target for 2024 of EUR 349.9 million, a 14% increase compared to the 2023 result and a result from operating activity of EUR 137.5 million, a 21% increase driven by higher sales of residential property. The consolidated gross profit target is EUR 123.5 million, 15% higher than the result for 2023, while the net profit is estimated to reach EUR 105 million in 2024, a 16% increase versus 2023, with the net margin expected at 30%.

"We anticipate strong growth for the real estate sector, particularly in Bucharest. Government forecasts suggest Romania's GDP will hit EUR 350 billion by 2024. With Bucharest historically contributing over 28% to the national GDP, we expect the capital's economic output to be approximately EUR 98 billion in the same year. This projection underscores the exceptional growth potential of our city - a potential that aligns with the ambitious objectives we have set for One United Properties. Our aim is to double our business by 2030 and quadruple it by 2035, capitalizing on Bucharest's favorable development trajectory and our dedication to delivering high-quality, sustainable housing. The ambitious targets we have set for 2024 serve as critical milestones on this path," stated Andrei Diaconescu, co-CEO at One United Properties.

The revenues from residential property sales are targeted to reach EUR 285 million in 2024, a 25% increase compared to the 2023 result. The net income from residential property is expected to surge by 68% to EUR 107.1 million, with the net margin on residential sales projected to improve by approximately 10 percentage points to 37.6%. This growth is attributed to strong sales performance and the progression towards completion of current development projects, in line with the revenue recognition policy applied by the Group.

As of January 1st, 2024, One United Properties' sales team had 1,415 units available for sale or pre-sale. Depending on sales progress and demand, an additional 1,181 units in One Lake District and approximately 1,300 units in One Cotroceni Towers could be added to the portfolio.

Rental revenue, including income from tenant services, is estimated to reach EUR 35.3 million in 2024, a 36% increase from the previous year. This growth rate is more moderate than in previous years due to the sale and pre-sale of four non-core rental assets in 2023, aligning with the company's strategy to concentrate on large-scale mixed-use developments.

In support of its growth ambitions in Bucharest, One United Properties is exploring potential equity and debt transactions over the next three years. At the forthcoming General Shareholder Meeting, to be held on April 25th, the shareholders will vote on a proposal to remove preferential rights for a share capital increase of up to 20%. This move aims to facilitate potential Accelerated Bookbuilding (ABB) transactions to raise new capital that will fuel further development.
