The Supervisory Board of Investeringsselskabet Luxor A/S has today considered and adopted the Company’s Annual Report for 2014/15.
Comments to the Annual Report:
- Basic earnings for the financial year increased from DKK 13.8 million in 2013/14 to DKK 24.1 million in 2014/15, which is higher than expected in the Announcement for the third quarter 2014/15. The improvement is primarily attributable to an increase in net financial income.
- The Group’s results before tax for the financial year show a loss of DKK 10.2 million (DKK 15.0 million). After tax, the Group shows a loss of DKK 8.5 million (DKK 11.1 million). The Group’s results are within the range stated.
The results are influenced by net negative fair value adjustments and realised losses on bonds of DKK 34.9 million as a result of volatility in the bond market and a widening of the yield spread to government bonds, among other things as a consequence of exposure to the energy and commodity sectors as well as currency hedging.
- Net asset value per share in circulation is DKK 354.29 (DKK 412.78).
- The Supervisory Board proposes to the General Meeting that dividend of DKK 20.0 million (DKK 50.0 million) be distributed, corresponding to DKK 20.0 (DKK 50.0) per share.

Fourth quarter of the financial year 2015:
- Basic earnings for the quarter have increased from DKK 5.6 million in 2013/14 to DKK 6.6 million in 2014/15. The improvement is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income.
