OPTIBASE LTD. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
HERZLIYA, Israel, August 27, 2015 – Optibase Ltd. (NASDAQ: OBAS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Revenues from fixed income real estate totaled $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to revenues of $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 and revenues of $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.
Loss attributable to Optibase Ltd shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $1.5 million or $0.29, compared to a net income of $159,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, loss was $1.6 million or $0.32, mainly attributed to acquisition related costs of $2.2 million related to the acquisition of the twenty-seven (27) supermarkets in Bavaria, Germany, compared to a net income of $373,000 or $0.07 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation for the periods were approximately 5.1 million basic and diluted shares for each period.
As of June 30, 2015, we had cash, cash equivalents and other financial investments, net, of $18.3 million, and shareholders' equity of $79.2 million, compared with $22.9 million, and $77.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2014.
As of the June 30, 2015 the Company has successfully completed the acquisition of twenty-five (25) supermarkets in Bavaria, Germany. The acquisition of two (2) additional properties was completed in July 2015, which completed the acquisition of the complete portfolio comprising of twenty-seven (27) supermarkets. For further information please refer to our 6K reports dated December 19, 2014, June 2, 2015 and July 8, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015, the portfolio purchase price has been allocated to real estate properties and other assets, net, in accordance with our accounting policies for business combinations. The purchase price allocation and the related accounting will be finalized once the valuation studies are completed. The Company’s net loss for the period of six months ended on June 30, 2015 includes acquisition-related costs of $2.2 million related to the acquisition of the twenty-seven (27) supermarkets in Bavaria, Germany.
Amir Philips, Chief Executive Officer of Optibase commented on the second quarter results and recent business developments: "We are very happy with the Company’s performance during the second quarter and the first half of 2015, both in terms of the ongoing operations of our existing real estate portfolio and later in July the completion in full of our first acquisition in Germany. For the period of six months ending June 30, 2015, we have experienced a slight decrease in our gross income, mainly due to the fluctuation of the Swiss Franc against the USD, compared to the same period in 2014. At the same time, our operating expenses, net of acquisition related costs, have decreased. Recently, we refinanced our Miami portfolio for a total of $15 million and completed a very successful bonds offering in Israel for a total of approximately $15 million. For more information on these recent transactions, please refer to our 6K reports filed with the SEC on July 8, 2015 and August 10, 2015. The availability of additional funds enhances our ability to approach prospective transactions, and while we are working diligently to embed our initial investment in the German market, we are exploring the markets for additional investment opportunities."
