CEO comments

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

This quarter was an important milestone in Condo Nordic Holding AB’s history. We are now listed on the Spotlight Stock Market, which will give us new opportunities for visibility and e.g. acquisitions.

In the second quarter of 2024, we experienced positive growth trend  by continuing to execute our profitable growth strategy, focusing on enhancing operational and financial performance.

In 2017, Condo Finland Oy was established 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

Due to a delay with some big projects the Group net sales for the second quarter was 3 % lower than in Q2 in 2023, however the trend was growing and the sales in June was over 40 % higher than in 2023. Based on the current sales outlook the board expects the total revenue in 2024 to reach 35-40 MSEK as mentioned in the listing memorandum.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital was -1,0 (0,8) MSEK and operational cash flow amounted to 2,1 (0,9) MSEK.

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.

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 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. A bankruptcy application was filed against Opema at the end of June 2024. The process is still ongoing and negotiations underway about the application being withdrawn. Condo has guarantees for the loans to Opeman mentioned above and hence no write-downs have been considered necessary at this point.

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.

Review by auditor

The group's auditor has not reviewed this interim report.
