COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
Altra Fastigheter reports positive net lettings for the third consecutive quarter, amounting to SEK 42 million. Significant refinancing activity contributes to financial stability. Continued share repurchases totalling SEK 793 million during the quarter increased earnings per share. Profit from property management per share amounted to SEK 2.16 for the quarter, an increase of 10% compared with the corresponding quarter in 2025.
Positive net lettings in all three markets
For the third consecutive quarter, Altra reports positive net lettings in all three markets. Among the major new lettings was a ten-year lease agreement signed in July with the City of Helsinki for 8,230 sqm of school premises, with an annual rental value of SEK 36 million. Tenant adaptations have commenced and are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027. In total, new leases representing SEK 100 million in annual rental income were signed, resulting in net lettings of SEK 42 million. Year-to-date net lettings thus amount to SEK 94 million. The occupancy rate increased from 89.0% to 89.2% during the quarter.
The high level of leasing activity is also reflected in the volume signed leases that have yet to take effect. The net effect of future lease changes, including notified terminations, has now turned positive, marking a shift in trend. We therefore see potential for a gradual improvement in the company's occupancy rate during 2027.
Portfolio rotation and share repurchases contribute to efficient capital allocation
In July, the conditions for the divestment of four properties in the Stock-holm area for SEK 1,187 million were satisfied, with closing taking place on August 31. During the quarter, we also agreed to acquire three properties in Finland and Sweden for SEK 105 million, and divestment of four properties in Finland and Sweden for SEK 84 million. Since the beginning of the year, Altra has thus divested properties for approximately SEK 1.7 billion and acquired properties for approximately SEK 0.8 billion.
These transactions form part of our previously communicated portfolio rotation strategy and have also created capacity for continued share repurchases. During the quarter, 10,208,291 shares were repurchased for SEK 793 million. Since the beginning of the year, Altra has thus repurchased shares corresponding to 13.4% of the number of outstanding shares for a total of SEK 2 billion.
Strengthened financial resilience
During the quarter, refinancings of SEK 3.8 billion were completed. As a result, 74% of our current loan portfolio has thus been renegotiated or originated in the past 12 months. During the year, we have also extended the fixed-rate period and increased our interest rate hedging. At the end of the quarter, 76% of the loan portfolio was interest hedged with an average fixed-rate period of 2.3 years.
Our active management of the company's debt portfolio has resulted in lower interest margins and extended debt maturities. No significant loans now mature in 2027, strengthening the company's financial resilience. Together with positive net lettings during the year, this has created capacity for continued share repurchases, within financial policy limit of a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 55%.
Well positioned for continued profitability growth
Overall, I am pleased with the development during the quarter. Our financial costs are stable and we see opportunities to improve the company's occupancy rate over time. Assuming we meet the company's full-year 2026 forecast, income from property management per share will have increased by 13% compared with the previous year.
Continued divestments in line with the company's previously communicated strategy contribute to Altra's long-term competitiveness and release capital for selective acquisitions and share repurchases. Through improved operational performance and disciplined capital allocation, we are creating conditions to continue delivering in line with our target of average annual growth in profit from property management per share by 10%.
