The report confirms the preliminary figures published on 8 August 2016. In light of its healthy project pipeline, the Management Board expects the MPC Capital Group to record year-on-year revenue growth of at least 10% for the 2016 financial year. The company aims to increase the assets under management (AUM) by the MPC Capital Group to up to EUR 10 billion in the medium term. The objective is to achieve this growth with the MPC Capital Group's new strategic focus on new, high-margin business, particularly in the real estate and infrastructure segments. In the medium term, this is expected to lift the average AUM margin to over 1% of the assets under management by the MPC Capital Group. The Management Board expects this trend to continue to stabilise in the 2016 financial year and is working to further improve the efficient utilisation of the MPC Capital Group's existing infrastructure by leveraging economies of scale. Implementing projects in the pipeline generally requires co-investment by MPC Capital AG. In this context, MPC Capital is currently reviewing various financing alternatives, including the implementation of a capital increase of about 25% of MPC Capital's current share capital. This would enable MPC Capital to take advantage of further opportunities to expand its assets under management as well as to increase the free float of the company's shares.
