COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
Nyfosa reports a stable performance during the first nine months of the year, with growth in profit from property management and cash flow mainly as a result of lower financial expenses. Profit from property management per share for the period amounted to SEK 5.06, corresponding to an increase of 11 percent compared with the corresponding period in 2024. Economic occupancy rate rose to 90.0 percent in the third quarter.
Improved occupancy rate in the quarter
In the leasing market, we are seeing a gradual pickup in activity, although dialogue and processes remain time-consuming. Nyfosa's economic occupancy rate rose during the third quarter from 89.8 percent to 90.0 percent and the vacancy amount fell by MSEK 8, mainly as a result of a positive development in Sweden. Adjusted for exchange rate effects and vacancies in divested properties, Finland, however, contributed negatively. Previously announced lease terminations are expected to increase the vacancy rate in the near term, while the outlook for 2026 remains uncertain, albeit with prerequisites for a gradual stabilization.
Developing the property management organization
The prevailing leasing market places high demands on property companies to work closely and proactively with both existing and new tenants. Nyfosa has a strong position through our regionally established property management organization, and we continue to further develop both the organization and work methods to ensure our competitiveness. We are currently carrying out several new recruitments and have launched initiatives to gain better control of the property management and leasing operations. As we work to turn around a period characterized by rising vacancy levels, we are laying the foundation for future profitability while strengthening our capability to pursue acquisitions at a higher pace.
Higher activity in the transaction market
Activity in the transaction market has increased and we are experiencing a higher flow of business opportunities, in terms of both acquisitions and divestments. The competitive landscape varies depending on the submarket and segment, but due to our structure, organization, and investment mandate, Nyfosa has the ability to act where we see the best prospects for creating value.
Lower financing costs
Efforts to improve Nyfosa's financial position and reduce our financing costs continued during the quarter with the early redemption of bonds maturing in April 2026, which took place after the end of the period. Together with previous tenders and the planned redemption of hybrid bonds, we are making solid progress on eliminating what is the company's most expensive interest-bearing capital. The interest-coverage ratio in the quarter was a multiple of 2.3, and the average interest rate in the debt portfolio fell to 4.5 percent. We anticipate that declining financing costs will continue to have a positive impact on the company's result.
