The financial report, which was voluntarily prepared in accordance with IFRS standards, shows a profit for the period of EUR 0.5 million, total assets of EUR 6.7 million and equity of EUR 0.6 million. Activities in 2023 were largely characterised by the issue of a tourism bond with a volume of up to EUR 50 million and a term of seven years. It offers an interest rate of 10% p.a. with a monthly distribution. With a denomination of EUR 1,000, the bond is aimed at both institutional and private investors.

The proceeds from the placement of the bond will be used primarily to build up a diversified portfolio of high-yield premium and luxury hotels and resorts. For the current project, a project company has already acquired an approximately 34,000 square metre plot of land in a prime location in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria. A resort in the premium segment will be built there with a well-known international hotel brand as operator. In order to further strengthen the capital base and reduce the risk for bond investors, it is planned to have the shares of EPH Group AG listed on the Vienna MTF of Wiener Börse AG (segment "direct market plus"). Preparations for this are already underway in order to be able to realise the IPO quickly once the critical size has been reached. Alexander Lühr , CEO of EPH Group AG: "As the new CEO, I am delighted to be able to present such a pleasing result for the past short financial year 2023.

We are well on the way to realising a first-class hotel project thanks to the purchase of an exposed site near Kitzbühel. More will follow. The pipeline is well filled and we are constantly reviewing incoming offers. The liquid funds currently available, in conjunction with the ongoing placement of our bond, also allow us to take advantage of short-term opportunities."
