The real estate investment company INVL Baltic Real Estate plans to pay out dividends of EUR 0.725 million for 2022, an allocation of EUR 0.09 per share. The payment of dividends and other matters will be voted on at the annual general meeting of the company’s shareholders on 18 April.
“The company’s good performance and the growing value of its properties make it possible to share gains with investors. Like every year, we are following the company’s dividend policy of paying out at least EUR 0.09 per share,” says Vytautas Bakšinskas, the real estate fund manager at INVL Asset Management, which manages INVL Baltic Real Estate.
Last year INVL Baltic Real Estate had a consolidated net profit of EUR 4.2 million, or 24% more than in 2021. Its consolidated revenue grew 25% in the year to EUR 3.4 million. The value of the company’s investment property holdings grew 23% during 2022 and totaled EUR 36.4 million at the end of December.
Dividends will be paid out within a month after the decision is adopted. Persons will have a right to receive the dividends who are shareholders of INVL Baltic Real Estate at the end of business on 3 May this year. Based on the share price on 23 March 2023, the dividend yield amounts to 4.1%.
The shareholders meeting on 18 April will vote on approving the company’s financial statements and profit distribution for 2022 as well as on fixing a procedure for own-share acquisitions and other matters.
If needed, INVL Baltic Real Estate would use a reserve of EUR 2.5 million to buy back its own shares, setting a time limit for any buybacks of 18 months from the date of the shareholders’ decision. The maximum purchase price per share would be INVL Baltic Real Estate’s last published net asset value per share, while the minimum purchase price would be EUR 1.45.
