CEO comments

"Establishing a strong base for growth that is sustainable and profitable.”

This quarter was a particularly important milestone in Condo’s history. The mother company of the group, Condo Nordic Holding AB is now listed on the Spotlight Stock Market, which will give us great opportunities for growth, for example in form of using the company share as an element in possible acquisitions.

In the second quarter of 2024, the projects delayed from Q1 eventually started which shows especially in June which saw the best June sales in the history of the company. Accordingly the July sales will be all-time July high.

 

Condo Finland Oy (previously Condo Group Oy) was established in 2017 to provide housing solutions for project teams. The company focuses on project accommodation, catering to corporate clients for several months to multiple years. Condo has a loyal customer base and an extensive network of lease providers in Finland, as well as partnerships in other European countries. Our corporate clients typically come from non-cyclical industries like renewable energy, industrial projects, and transport infrastructure. Besides project accommodation, Condo Nordic Holding AB is building a portfolio of permanently furnished apartments in big cities to offer short-term accommodation to retail customers.

Revenue growth and improved profitability in the second quarter

Group net sales for the quarter grew 15% and totaled 10 (8,0) MSEK. The gross margin was 31% (28%), an increase of 3,0 percentage points versus the same quarter last year. The EBITDA margin improved to 10%, compared to a margin of 5,0% in Q2 2023.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital was 1,0 (-1,0) MSEK and

operational cash flow amounted to 0,2 (0,1) MSEK. The improvement was derived from our strategic shift to focus on profitable growth.

Key market elements

Condo Nordic Holding AB has identified key market elements that support the Company’s business idea and growth strategy.

1. Longer Stays: Furnished apartments are preferred for longer stays due to their more homelike environment and extensive space.
2. Diversification of Accommodation Options: Customers are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional hotels, and furnished apartments provide a viable option for immersing themselves in local lifestyles and enjoying home comforts.
3. Rise in Business Travel: Many companies favor furnished apartments for accommodating employees during long-term business assignments because they offer better value for extended stays.
4. Importance of Location: Furnished apartments are often situated in city centres or residential areas, attracting customers who prefer proximity to local attractions and amenities.
5. Need for Privacy and Independence: Furnished apartments afford customers greater privacy and autonomy with separate living and sleeping areas and fully equipped kitchens for meal preparation.

Financial development

April - June 2024

Net sales

The figures in brackets refer to the previous period. From January to March 2024, net sales decreased by approximately 40% to SEK 4,6 million (compared to SEK 7,8 million in the previous period). This decrease was primarily caused by clients delaying large projects. However, these projects have now commenced, and the Company anticipates they will positively impact the remainder of the year.

Gross profit

The result after financial items from January to March 2024 amounted to SEK -1,6 million (0,1), corresponding to a negative margin. The negative margin is due to low sales and the Company’s fixed cost structure.

The period's loss after tax amounted to SEK -1,6 (0) million.

Notes

General information about the Group

The Condo Nordic Holding Group includes the parent company Condo Nordic Holding AB (CIT 559432-1571) and the subsidiary Condo Finland Oy (CIT 2777073-4), which has a wholly owned subsidiary, Suomen Majoituspalvelu Oy (CIT 2558565-8). The parent company is a Swedish public limited company. The board has its seat in the Stockholm municipality. The company's registered address is ℅ Aalto Capital, Riddargatan 17, 114 57 Stockholm.

Accounting principles

Condo Nordic Holding AB prepares accounts following the Annual Accounts Act and The Accounting Board's general advice BFNAR 2012:1 Annual report and consolidated accounts (K3).

Group accounts

In the consolidated accounts, Condo Nordic Holding AB's acquisition of Condo Finland Oy is reported according to the rules on reverse acquisition. This means that Condo Finland Oy is reported as the acquiring company even though Condo Nordic Holding AB is, legally speaking, the parent company.

Reverse acquisition and listing cost

Applied consolidated accounting and the rules for reverse acquisition where Condo Finland Oy is reported as the acquiring company means, among other things, that an exceptional cost of a non-recurring nature, a listing cost (surplus value) of SEK 5,304 thousand arises and charges the operating expenses in the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for Q2 2024.

Comparative numbers

The group's comparative figure for 2023 refers to the legal subsidiary Condo Finland Oy, which, from an accounting point of view, constitutes the parent company following the principle of reverse acquisition. As of April 28, 2023, the group's income and balance sheets include the legal parent company, Condo Nordic Holding AB.

Estimates and assessments

Preparing the year-end report requires that company management make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and costs. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and judgments. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly.

Staff

The group’s number of employees amounted to that of the period ending in 10 (8), of which 5 (4) were men and 5 (4) women.

Transactions with related parties

There is an outstanding loan of EUR 422 thousand to Opema Oy, owned by Ilkka Holmlund 55%, Ville Valorinta 30%, and Karri Rantasila 15%. The original plan was for Opema to expand its hotel business and eventually merge with Condo. However, due to the post-COVID environment, Opema required working capital to keep developing the hotel business. To meet this need, it was decided that Condo would provide the necessary working capital through a loan to Opema. Later, in late 2023, a decision was made for Condo to focus on project accommodation and furnished apartments exclusively. As a result, the hotel business was never merged into Condo. The loan is interest-free and matures on January 31, 2029. During the loan term, it can be continuously amortised with cash and dividend offsets.

Material risks and uncertainties

The group's overall risk assessment is described in the Listing Memorandum for Condo Nordic Holding AB on the Spotlight Stock Market in July 2024.
