Significant events after the end of the balance sheet date
· During April, Logistea signed new interest rate swaps of a nominal amount of SEK 500 million and adjusted the barrier to 4.25 percent for all previously owned performance swaps in order to reduce the company's interest rate risk and create better protection against rising market interest rates. After the measures, the interest rate hedge ratio increased from 48 per cent to 69 per cent and the fixed interest rate maturity from 2.1 years to 2.7 years.

“Logistea reports increased revenues, net operating income but also an increased profit from property management, both compared to the previous quarter and to the comparison quarter in 2022. In the comparable portfolio, rental income increased by around 10 percent, with indexation of rental contracts being the largest contributing factor. Completed repurchases in our own issued bond loan and work with our interest rate portfolio have resulted in both a reduced interest rate and refinancing risk," says CEO Niklas Zuckerman.
