Q1 results for Hornbach are above expectations. Sales up only 1.8%, with 2.6% growth for Hornbach Baumarkt. Higher gross margins and successful cost management leads to 33.8% growth of EBIT and EPS up 43.6%. Company as always is conservative with their projections and only see a slight increase in results this year.
Hidden real estate reserves showed up in last investor presentation and are now 934M euros.
page 11 of the factbook shows a nice graph with share price, revenue and ebit.
Hornbach found a way to lower earnings a bit by doing some impairments. In addition to this my favorite part of the Annual report is missing. No explanation anymore on the hidden value of the real estate assets.
I'm confident that Hornbach big stores are still worth 13 times rent - 0,5% age factor. Using this calculation last year the hidden value was 884M euros. This would have crossed the 900M mark this year. Fairly significant given a market cap of 1.25B euros.
Market share growth of Hornbach in Germany was 4.9% in 1998, 7.1% in 2003, 8.5% in 2008, 10.0% in 2013, and now 14.8%. Quite incredible growth. This is a testament to the power of the everyday low-pricing strategy.

one of my first stocks. The company is worth investing in.
Please also note: real estate is worth significantly more than market capitalisation and debt.
