Hreiðar Már Hermannsson, CEO:
"The Company's performance has been strong so far this year, with robust growth in both revenue and EBITDA year-on-year.
In the second quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of Hádegismóar 8, a property of approximately 4,000 square metres let on a long-term triple net lease to a single tenant. The property is a clear example of the Company's strategy for developing its portfolio: large properties, strong tenants and long lease terms. The Company also sold its site at Járnháls 4.
Eik's new subsidiary, Vigur Kredit, purchased its first mortgage bond during the quarter, secured by a second-priority lien on a property that the Company considers would be a good fit for its own portfolio. This is the first concrete example of the financing approach outlined in the letter to shareholders in March - using the Company's position to provide second-lien financing secured by commercial real estate - put into practice.
Bond issuance has continued in line with the Company's issuance plan. The Company now offers three products suited to different investor needs, all of which have been well received.
The Company's outlook for 2026 has been revised upward in light of changes to the portfolio and other factors affecting performance in the second half of the year."
