John Mattson increases income from property management
John Mattson's income from property management for the first quarter increased 11% year-on-year. The increase was largely due to the retained efficiency enhancements in combination with reduced interest expenses due to completed sales and the new share issue conducted in the end of the 2023.
NAV per share declined 46% year-on-year, primarily as a result of the SEK 1.25 billion rights issue completed in 2023, and amounted to SEK 86.53 per share. The yield requirements in John Mattson's property valuations have been adjusted upward by an average of eight basis points. However, rising yield requirements were primarily offset by increased rental revenues. The change in value for John Mattson's property portfolio was a decrease of 0.5%.
"It is gratifying to note that we retained the efficiency in operations we lay the foundations for in 2023 despite continued price increases. However, an unusually cold and snowy start to the year impacted costs for heating and snow clearance. It is also gratifying that we are once again investing in long-term value creation. The implementation of energy efficiency measures strengthens cash flows and property values while concurrently contributing to a sustainable future. We are also preparing to once again start new upgrades. We have potential upgrades for a total of approximately 1,500 apartments in our portfolio," says Per Nilsson, CEO of John Mattson.
