HELMA Eigenheimbau AG reports strong order intake in H1 2022

Lehrte, July 1, 2022 – According to preliminary calculations, HELMA Eigenheimbau AG generated consolidated new order intake of approximately EUR 197.4 million during the first half of 2022. This slightly exceeded the previous year’s record level of EUR 197.2 million, despite a deteriorating market environment. This is all the more remarkable as the unexpected discontinuation of the new construction subsidy for the Efficiency House 55 in the fourth quarter of 2021 had led to tangible accelerated purchasing effects that were reflected in new order intake, which the company estimated had amounted to up to 10% of its total new order intake in 2021 (see press release of January 11, 2022).

Due to the current significant rise in interest rates and construction costs, which will lead to correspondingly higher selling prices, as well as the difficult geopolitical situation, the accelerated purchasing effect from the second half of 2021 is now expected to diminish, as anticipated, albeit not until the second half of 2022. However, based on its strong product portfolio and attractive project pipeline, the company is confident that it will achieve the new order intake level underlying its guidance for the full 2022 financial year, which lies in the approximate range of between EUR 350 million and EUR 360 million.
