CEO comments - "We will continue to make attractive acquisitions"
Emilshus began the year with continued profitable growth driven by strategic acquisitions and stable performance in the existing portfolio. Occupancy rates remain at a high level, supporting strong and predictable cash flows. The forecast for full-year 2026 has been adjusted upwards, to a profit from property management of MSEK 490.
Rental income increased 34% in the first quarter to MSEK 271, compared with the year-earlier quarter, and profit from property management rose 26% to MSEK 116 during the same period. Profit from property management per ordinary share increased 11% for the quarter and 20% for LTM, well above our financial target of 15% per year. Operating cash flow during the year posted growth of 24% and totaled MSEK 106.
Acquisitions create economies of scale
Emilshus's focus is on continued growth in existing regions in southern Sweden, thereby creating economies of scale in property management. At the same time, with strong local roots, in-depth market insight and a broad network of contacts, we have a close eye on potential transactions and full control over which objects match the company's acquisition profile. To date this year, we have agreed acquisitions for MSEK 1,167, of which properties at a value corresponding to MSEK 392 was accessed during the quarter. These acquisitions encompass fully leased, attractively located properties in light industry, primarily in Östergötland and Skåne, that now represent 16% and 13%, respectively, of the total property value.
During the quarter, we continued to strengthen and adapt Emilshus's property management organization to the company's larger property portfolio. In parallel, we are continually developing our operation in order to pursue efficient property management using modern tools and approaches - always with a focus on local presence and close collaboration with our tenants.
Stable performance in property management
We noted stable performance in our property management operations. The occupancy rate remains at a high level of 95% and the average remaining lease term is five years. Net letting during the quarter amounted to MSEK -11, with the majority of the terminations pertaining to the premises that Region Jönköping is vacating. We believe that the prospects for finding new tenants for these spaces are good.
Looking forward
Emilshus enjoys a strong financial position and good relations with banks and capital markets, which provides a solid basis for continued growth. During the quarter, the company's financing structure was expanded through additional diversification of lenders, as part of broadening both scope for action and spreading risk.
Over the last twelve months, Emilshus's property value has increased by 30%, to more than BSEK 13. As a growth company, we are fully focused on continuing on our current path, with good profitability and at a high pace. We believe there is good potential for completing high-yielding acquisitions and investments for existing tenants, regardless of market conditions. I look forward to another intensive year for Emilshus.
