Real Estate Portfolio Dublin

NAVSTONE is aiming to build up a real estate portfolio of approximately EUR 30mn and to achieve an attractive return for shareholders based on a buy-o-let strategy with stable cash flows and attractive dividends subsequently resulting in increased net asset value of the business. In the third quarter, NAVSTONE has made reservations to purchase three further properties in Dublin with a combined value of EUR 3.83mn. The closing of these transactions is expected to occur in the next months subject to successful due diligence. Through these transactions the total portfolio would increase to approximately EUR 8.6mn with annualized gross rental income of EUR 0.6mn respectively. Several further potential transactions are currently under investigation. The existing portfolio in Dublin was fully let as at the end of the third quarter.

NAVSTONE holds approximately 12% of the shares of net digital AG, a publicly quoted payment service provider. net digital AG has recently reported 6-months revenues of EUR 4.15mn with an EBITDA of EUR 0.43mn. Management has expressed that based on the successful first half of the year it is confident for the remainder of the year. Revenues for 2021 are expected to be in the upper single digit millions with profitability margins similar to the first half. net digital has also received a license as a payment institution (e-money license according to ZAG) from the German regulator (BaFin), which allows net digital to offer a wide range of payment related services (for example acquiring, transfer of funds, etc.). net digital expects significant additional growth based on the license.

Share repurchase

In Q3, NAVSTONE has repurchased a further 214.806 own shares reducing the number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2021 to 4.271.035 shares.
