Special dividend - outlook for 2017
The Management Board and Supervisory Board of Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG
("pbb") are considering a proposal to the Annual General Meeting 2017 -
subject to compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements or
developments - to distribute for the financial year 2016 a special dividend
from the Heta gain in addition to the distribution according to its
communicated dividend policy.
From pbb's point of view, this does not imply a fundamental change to
its dividend policy, which provides for a dividend proposal in the amount
of 40%-50% of consolidated profit after taxes (in accordance with IFRS) and
which the Management Board will review as soon the impact of a changed
regulatory environment can be perceived.
pbb anticipates consolidated profit before taxes for 2016 (in accordance
with IFRS) between EUR 280 million and EUR 290 million. Excluding the net
non-recurring effects of EUR 117 million in the third quarter of 2016 (EUR
132 million in income from Heta, against which pbb has recognized EUR 15
million in provisions and expenses as precautionary measure), pbb expects
2016 operating profit before taxes to the tune of EUR 170 million, in line
with original expectations. The Management Board anticipates a higher tax
burden for the full year 2016 than in first three quarters, due to
valuation losses on deferred tax assets from losses carried forward, as
well as additional tax payments that are due following a tax audit. This
should translate into a notional IFRS Group tax rate of around 35%.
The Company is aiming for consolidated profit before taxes (in accordance
with IFRS) between EUR 150 million and EUR 170 million for the year 2017.
