July 30th, 2020, Madrid. Haya Real Estate (“Haya”), the Spanish market leader in the management of real estate debt and property assets, announced today its financial results for the first half of 2020, reporting transaction volumes of €947.2 million (€4,280.3 million on a LTM basis). In particular, REO volumes have reached €563.7 million, REO Conversion volumes €280.5 million, and RED volumes amounted to €103.0 million in the period. The company manages around €33.8 billion in Assetsunder Management (AuMs) as of June 30^th , 2020.

Revenues have reached €83.4 million in the first half of 2020, which have driven operating results (adjusted EBITDA) to €20.6 million. As previously announced, Haya ́s Q2 2020 activity and business performance has been affected by the COVID-19 situation, with activity impact across clients and businesses, mostly in April and May, and slightly recovery in June.

In order to partially mitigate the already expected COVID-19 impact on Haya’s business performance, the company implemented a contingency plan focused on strong cost reduction measures. During the quarter, Haya’s total operational expenditures decreased by 39% versus Q1 2020 due to the lower activity in REO retail volumes, reduction of IT opex, professional services and travel expenses. In addition, a labour restructuring process was completed in April 2020.

Finally, Haya reported a solid and strong Free Cash Flow of €41.4 million at the end of the period (€74.1 million on an LTM basis) maintaining a strong cash conversion through the crisis. As of June 30th 2020, the company’s cash position was €90.5 million.

Market outlook. Impact of COVID-19 on Haya ́s business

The context in the upcoming months continues to be very challenging and the outlook for the Spanish industrial activity, including Haya’s real estate and debt recovery activity, very uncertain. The Company’s activity will greatly depend on the consolidation of the macro situation in Spain (employment data, economic & pandemic evolution) which will determine the type of recovery curve post COVID-19.

Haya expects to have a gradual recovery during Q3 2020, with September being an inflection point and critical month for the evolution of Q4 2020. The evolution of the pandemic in Spain, as well as restrictions or any new measure adopted by the Government in the coming months will impact the outlook for the rest of the year.

Enrique Dancausa, CEO of Haya, said: “Results in this period are in line with our expectations; the second quarter of the year has been fully impacted by the pandemic and the exceptional economic and social context. Even so, we have been able to respond, adapting the company to the new situation, and will continue to focus on the COVID-19 contingency plan and on supporting our clients with their own needs through this challenging and unpredictable environment.”
