  • Press Release
  • Source: Elbit Imaging Ltd.
  • On 9:00 am EDT, Monday August 31, 2009

TEL AVIV, Israel, August 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elbit Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: EMITF - News; "EI" or the "Company") today announced its results for the second quarter of 2009.

Loss for the second quarter of 2009 amounted to NIS 252 million, of which NIS 207 million is attributable to the equity holders of the Company as compared to gain of NIS 56 million in the corresponding quarter of 2008 of which NIS 15.7 million is attributable to the equity holders of the Company.

Company's shareholder's equity, as of June 30, 2009 amounted NIS 2.3 billion, compared with NIS 2.4 billion as of December 31, 2008

Our presentation to the consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2009 is available through our website at: http://www.elbitimaging.com under: "Investor Relations - Company Presentations (06/2009)."

Mr. Shimon Yitzhaki, President and CEO of the Company, commented: "We see progress in all of the group's segments of operations, despite the challenging market conditions created by the world crisis.

"In the real estate segment, our main business of operation, we continue to develop and construct our six selected projects. In addition, Plaza Centers has lately secured its first financing from an Indian bank designated to the development of the Koregaon Park Plaza project.

"We are looking into a number of alternative ways in the US Commercial Centers market. The world crisis has created historical opportunities in the US market, which we have both the financial and the managerial capabilities to foresee. We believe that in the next few months we will be able to report progress in this segment.

"Our hotel division, as hotels operations world wide, has been affected by the financial crisis. Nevertheless, our Radisson SAS Bucharesti hotel opened a year ago exceeded our expectations and draws vast attention and interest.

"In the retail division, the first Gap store, a brand which we highly believe in, was opened a week ago in Israel. We have no doubt that it will be successful.

"In the medical systems operations, we have announced a month ago a significant progress achieved by InSightec's brain system for treatment of neuropathic pain based on a study conducted at the Zurich University.

Mr. Shimon Yitzhaki further commented: "Lately our group has raised NIS 350 million in debentures through the Company and Plaza Centers which increase the group's liquidity.

"The group's operations and it's financial stability are to our satisfaction, and as for now we focus on examining ways to utilize this window of opportunity that has emerged around the world in general and in the US in particular.

"Our managerial flexibility and vast experience in development and management of Commercial Centers, will enable us to reach this goal."
