New Europe Property Investments Plc. JSE: NEP

Background of Nedbank Limited
New Europe Property Investments (NEPI) is a commercial property developer and investor set up to buy, develop and manage mainly retail assets, originally in Romania and subsequently in other Eastern and Central European countries. The group also invests in suitable industrial and office properties. NEPI has built an extensive property portfolio and development pipeline in Romania, Serbia and Slovakia, with a retail expansion programme targeting other emerging European markets.
Properties include 16 malls and value centres, 5 office properties and 2 industrial facilities, with a total asset value of over €2 billion. Various other projects are in development or extension phases.
The group’s investment strategy focuses on long-term leases sold in Euro, targeting strong corporate tenants. At least 90% of net rental profits are distributed to shareholders on a semi-annual basis.
NEPI shares are for sale on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), the AIM of the London Stock Exchange and the regulated market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Despite a young history on the JSE, NEPI share price has already enjoyed good gains.
NEPI Shares Growth Driver
The group is vertically-integrated and internally managed by teams with investment, development, asset management, leasing and financial expertise.
NEPI’s performance has benefited from the recent completion and launch of several important properties, including the 75 500 m2 Mega Mall in Romania, which is the group’s largest development to date. Since trade commenced in 2015, the mall has dominated retail in Bucharest, catering to 910 000 residents within a 30 minute drive away. Nepi also went on to buy the 44 700m2 Titan Shopping Center in Bucharest’s most populous district and completed a major extension to the Shopping City Diva.
The company’s latest financial data for the first half of 2016 showed asset value growth of over €300 million, illustrating NEPI’s aggressive acquisition and growth strategy. Net rental income was up by €15 million from the corresponding period last year, with profits totalling €64 million. Distributable earnings per share increased by 6.2% to 18.68 euro cents, higher than the 5% forecast issued at the beginning of the year. This has been due to strong occupancy rates and the favourable impact of purchases and developments completed in 2015.
