From Andreas Morfiadakis' CEO comment
The financial trend for the third quarter demonstrates that we are gradually continuing to increase our earnings despite a challenging market, particularly when it comes to financing. Our net operating income increased 25 per cent year-on-year while our surplus ratio was among our highest to date. Profit from property management increased 20 per cent during the quarter compared with the year-earlier period thanks to the year's rent increases and a larger portfolio. With our focus on attractive locations with robust long-term demand in growth regions, we have a broad geographic presence and can act wherever business opportunities arise. In our three largest regions of Trelleborg, Visby and Östersund, which account for just over 45 per cent of the portfolio, we offer a highly competitive rent level and are continuing to experience strong demand and a high occupancy rate.
Outlook
In summary, the need for new housing remains high, while housing construction has more or less stalled. This means that existing affordable rental apartments is becoming an increasingly important part of the housing market, not least in the current economic climate, with lower disposable income for many households. With a proven business model that continually improves our portfolio and means that our annual rent increases exceed the general level, we are creating favourable conditions for increasing the value of our property portfolio and improving our cash flow per share over time. Moreover, a high proportion of our financing, which exclusively comprises bank loans, is hedged and provides us with security in the current market.
I am convinced that over the long term, it will be wise to invest in - though cautiously - and to own rental properties, and by doing so to be part of the development of society on both a regional and a national level.
