VBare Earned €4.8M in 2018 & Plans to Raise More Financing in 2019

5 March 2019 – Eje Prime

The Socimi VBare, which specialises in the management of residential assets, generated a profit of €4.8 million in 2018, up by 100% compared to the previous year. That increase was driven by the strong performance of its rental income and an appreciation in the value of its portfolio.

In this context, the company is going to carry out another capital increase within the coming months to finance the acquisition of more properties and further fatten up its portfolio.

The company’s revenue also increased in 2018 to €1.4 million, up by 33% compared to 2017, when the Socimi generated sales from gross rental income of €1.07 million.

At the end of 2018, VBare’s assets were worth €50 million, up by 76% YoY and the occupancy rate of its portfolio amounted to 90% at year end (vs. 83% at the end of 2017).

Looking ahead, the Socimi plans to continue focusing its investments in Madrid. Already this year, it has purchased a building containing 27 homes and two premises on Calle Vallehermoso in the Spanish capital for €5.2 million. Following that operation, the company’s portfolio contains 301 units.

Vbare Has Accumulated Investments of €34.2M Since its Stock Market Debut

5 February 2019 – Eje Prime

Vbare is continuing its commitment to Spain. In 2018, the company invested €15 million in the purchase of residential properties. In January 2019 alone, the Socimi spent another €5.5 million on the purchase of number 94 Calle Vallehermoso, taking the firm’s total investment since 2016, the year it made its stock market debut, to €34.2 million.

The company’s most talked about acquisitions include the purchase of a building comprising 27 homes and 2 commercial premises in Madrid for €5.2 million. That was its second largest investment to date, after its purchase in October of another property on Calle Luchana for €10.5 million.

The trend demonstrates Vbare’s commitment to prime assets. The Socimi has purchased 29 properties in 2019 compared with the 52 that it bought in 2015. Nevertheless, the price of those investments is 41.03% higher. In other words, the cost per property has risen from €75,000 per unit to almost €190,000.

Nevertheless, and despite the investments undertaken in 2018, the group reduced its net result during the first nine months of last year. Its profit amounted to €1.84 million, down by 15.6% compared with the same period in 2017, according to a statement issued by the company to the Alternative Investment Market (MAB).

For this reason, the company now intends to increase its influence in Madrid, in terms of both square metres, as well as the number of units that it owns. In general terms, the group also plans to increase the occupancy rate of its buildings from 83% to 90%.
