Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Kojamo

Kojamo takes the coronavirus seriously and is committed to looking after the health and well-being of the Group's employees, customers and partners. Kojamo monitors the recommendations issued by the authorities and complies with them. The pandemic did not have a significant impact on the Group's profit, balance sheet or cash flow during the review period. Kojamo's financial position and liquidity are good.

The Group's day-to-day operations have continued normally in spite of the exceptional circumstances. The pandemic has had an impact on the housing market and the operating environment. The supply of rental apartments has increased temporarily in the market. Due to the restrictions on travel, apartments intended for short-term rentals have been switched to long-term leases. Work-related immigration slowed down and students, for example, moved in with their parents, while foreign students have returned to their home countries. Kojamo expects the impacts of the pandemic to be short-lived.

Outlook for Kojamo in 2020

Kojamo estimates that in 2020, the Group's total revenue will increase by 2–5 per cent year-on-year. In addition, the company estimates that the Group's FFO for 2020 will amount to between EUR 146– 158 million, excluding non-recurring costs.

The outlook takes into account the effects of the completed housing divestments and acquisitions, the estimated occupancy rate and rises in rents, as well as the number of apartments to be completed. The outlook is based on the management's assessment of total revenue, net rental income, administrative expenses, financial expenses, taxes to be paid and new development to be completed, as well as the management's view on future developments in the operating environment.

Additionally, the outlook is based on strong demand sustained by migration, which will increase Likefor-Like rental income. The management can influence total revenue and FFO through the company's business operations. In contrast, the management has no influence over market trends, the regulatory environment or the competitive landscape.

CEO's review

Our total revenue and net rental income grew during the first nine months of the year. FFO increased by as much as 7 per cent. Successful investments have supported our growth.

Supply in the rental housing market increased in the early part of the year due to the completion of new properties and apartments intended for short-term rental moving to the long-term rental market as a consequence of the pandemic. However, we believe that the impact of these factors has already fully materialised in the market. The pandemic has also temporarily slowed down migration. We nevertheless believe that the trend of urbanisation will continue when the pandemic abates. Our occupancy rate is at a good level in spite of the circumstances and our NPS, which measures customer satisfaction, is strong. The number of new tenancy agreements was at a record-high level in July and has remained good thereafter. However, the effect of the new agreements will become evident gradually as they enter into force.

We are looking firmly into the future. The popularity of rental housing is growing. The number of rental households already exceeds the number of those living in owner-occupied housing in Helsinki, Tampere and Turku, and the number of households who rent their homes has increased in all of Finland's major urban areas. People want to move to cities and they are increasingly attracted by the freedom provided by rental housing. The need for new apartments is growing in the major urban areas. In addition to urbanisation, the need for new apartments is supported by the decreasing average size of households.

The number of residential start-ups is predicted to be below the annual production need this year and next. In Helsinki, which is a significant market for us, the city has set an annual housing production target of 7,000 apartments and indicated that the share of family apartments should grow. Considering the prevailing housing trends, this production target seems low. We also believe that the highest demand is for studios and one bedroom apartments, and efforts should be made to build enough of these. Our investments are aimed at responding to demand in the long term.

Our project portfolio has been strengthened further and we have started construction on 1,556 new homes this year. The number of apartments under construction has more than doubled from the comparison period. I am also satisfied with the quality of our project portfolio: we have been able to make investments in projects that fulfil our requirements with regard to factors such as location, apartment size and profitability.

In addition to properties currently under construction, we have plot reserves in the Helsinki region, where the demand for new apartments is predicted to be the highest. Our balance sheet is strong and it enables future investments, even on a quick schedule. In addition to the properties already under construction, we have binding preliminary agreements on the construction of more than 1,000 apartments in the Helsinki region. Furthermore, our Metropolia real estate development project will see us create new homes in buildings previously occupied by educational institutions in Helsinki's central business district and other good locations.

We will reach an important milestone in our sustainability efforts this year when we publish our sustainability programme on 2 December 2020. This date coincides with our Investors' Day event, where we will present the programme and its objectives.

Operating environment

General operating environment

As Kojamo operates in the residential real estate sector, the company is affected particularly by urbanisation as well as the situation in the residential property market and development in Finnish growth centres. The company is also affected by macroeconomic factors, such as economic growth, employment, disposable income, inflation, population growth and development of household sizes.

Inflation, % 1.2 0.4

The COVID-19 pandemic has contracted the Finnish economy less than most European economies. The Finnish GDP is predicted to contract by 4.5 per cent in 2020. In addition to a decrease in exports, there will be a contraction of private consumption and private investment. The economy is gradually recovering from the shutdown earlier this year, and the economy began to grow in the summer. Exports and industrial production suffer from the continuation of the global pandemic and production is only expected to turn to growth next year.

According to the business survey of the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries, the slowing down of housing production will be increased by the COVID-19 pandemic. Housing production volume has declined since the spring and it is predicted to be below the annual production need for apartments in 2020 and 2021. According to Pellervo Economic Research, increased economic uncertainty makes people postpone their plans to buy a home. The reason is that people are unwilling to take a housing loan in uncertain circumstances.

According to the business survey of the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries, urbanisation will not stop and the demand for apartments will continue after the pandemic. According to a report published by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in June on the demand for housing production in 2020–2040, a minimum of 30,000 new apartments should be built annually in Finland in spite of the stagnation of population growth. The demand for new apartments is strongly focused on the major urban areas and especially the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. If the number of single-adult households continues to grow, the annual need for new apartments would be 35,000.

According to Statistics Finland, the number of households that rent their homes has continued to grow. Households living in rental homes outnumber those living in owner-occupied housing in Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. The share of rental household-dwelling units has also increased in all of Finland's major urban areas. This is a strong sign of the acceleration of urbanisation on the one hand and the change in housing preferences on the other hand. For younger generations, owning a home is not as significant as it was for previous generations. Owning a home is also no longer seen as the only way to accumulate wealth. Instead, people are increasingly attracted by the freedom provided by rental housing. This will support the development of the rental housing market for a long time to come.

Kojamo is the largest1 private residential real estate company in Finland measured by the fair value of investment properties. Kojamo offers rental apartments and housing services for tenants primarily in Finnish growth centres2 . At the end of the review period, Kojamo's property portfolio comprised 35,613

(35,061) rental apartments. The fair value of Kojamo's investment properties amounted to EUR 6.6 (5.4) billion at the end of the period, including EUR 2.4 (0.0) million in Investment properties held for sale. Investment properties include completed apartments as well as development projects and land areas.

Measured at fair value on 30 September 2020, 98.8 per cent of Kojamo's rental apartments were located in the seven largest Finnish growth centres, 87.6 per cent in the Helsinki, Tampere and Turku regions and 73.8 per cent in the Helsinki region.

Financial development July–September 2020

Total revenue

Kojamo's total revenue amounted to EUR 96.3 (95.7) million in July–September. Total revenue is generated entirely by income from rental operations.

Total revenue was supported by the completion of rental apartments in 2019 and the Like-for-Like (LfL) growth of rental income. Like-for-Like growth is defined as the change of rental income for properties owned for two consecutive years in the past 12 months compared to the previous 12-month period.

Result and profitability

Net rental income totalled EUR 68.9 (69.5) million, representing 71.5 (72.6) per cent of total revenue. Net rental income was affected by maintenance and repair costs being higher than in the comparison period.

Profit before taxes was EUR 72.8 (66.6) million. The profit includes EUR 25.8 (18.4) million in net gain on the valuation of investment properties at fair value and EUR 0.0 (0.3) million in profits and losses from the sale of investment properties. Profit before taxes and excluding the net valuation gain on the fair value assessment of investment properties decreased by EUR 1.2 million.

Financial income and expenses totalled EUR -13.7 (-13.3) million. Financial income and expenses include EUR 0.3 (-0.8) million in unrealised changes in the fair value of derivatives.

Funds From Operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 42.0 (39.7) million.

Financial development January–September 2020

Total revenue

Kojamo's total revenue increased to EUR 286.8 (280.3) million. Total revenue is generated entirely by income from rental operations.

The increase in total revenue was mainly due to the completion of rental apartments in 2019 and the Like-for-Like (LfL) growth of rental income.

Result and profitability

Net rental income grew to EUR 193.8 (187.2) million, representing 67.6 (66.8) per cent of revenue. The increase in net rental income was mainly due to the completion of rental apartments in 2019, the

Like-for-Like (LfL) growth of rental income and maintenance costs being lower than in the comparison period.

Profit before taxes was EUR 198.0 (191.4) million. The profit includes EUR 74.1 (71.0) million in net gain on the valuation of investment properties at fair value and EUR -0.7 (0.2) million in profits and losses from the sale of investment properties. Profit before taxes and excluding the net valuation gain on the fair value assessment of investment properties increased by EUR 3.6 million.

Financial income and expenses totalled EUR -41.6 (-39.3) million. Financial income and expenses include EUR -0.9 (-3.3) million in unrealised changes in the fair value of derivatives. Financial income and expenses increased by EUR 2.2 million year-on-year, mainly due to higher interest-bearing liabilities and valuation gains and losses on investments of EUR -0.2 (0.9) million.

Funds From Operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 113.5 (106.1) million. The increase in FFO was attributable to the improvement in net rental income during the review period as well as current tax being lower than in the comparison period.

Kojamo owned a total of 35,613 (35,061) rental apartments at the end of the review period. Measured at fair value, 98.8 per cent of the portfolio was located in the seven largest Finnish growth centres. The company aims to divest its apartments outside the seven major growth centres in Finland.

Kojamo shifted from a transaction-based valuation technique to a yield-based valuation technique in the valuation of investment properties from 31 December 2019 onwards. This represents a change in accounting estimates and it was not applied retrospectively. The effect of the change on the fair value of investment properties was approximately EUR 800 million. The yield-based valuation technique makes Kojamo more comparable with its relevant international peer group.

The fair value of Kojamo's investment properties is determined quarterly on the basis of the company's own evaluation. An external expert gives a statement on the valuation of Kojamo's investment properties. The latest valuation statement was issued on 30 September 2020. The criteria for determining fair value are presented in the Notes to the Financial Statements 2019.

At the end of the review period, the plot and real estate development reserve held by the Group totalled about 183,000 floor sq.m. (191,000 floor sq.m.). The fair value of the plot and real estate development reserve (including the Metropolia properties) was EUR 146 (158) million at the end of the review period.

Our aim is to develop a networked service platform that will enable agile innovation implementation in cooperation with other operators. Kojamo's properties serve as a platform to which the new services can easily be connected.

The number of tenancy agreements signed via the Lumo webstore continued to increase during the review period. By the end of the review period, more than 20,000 tenancy agreements had been signed on the Lumo webstore.

The salaries and fees paid during the review period totalled EUR 13.1 (12.3) million.

Annual performance bonus and incentive system

Kojamo's employees are included in an annual performance bonus system which is based on the achievement of the company's general targets as well as personal targets.

Kojamo also has a long-term share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel. The reward is based on reaching the targets set for Kojamo's key business criteria in relation to the Group's strategic goals. Three performance periods were ongoing at the end of the review period: 2018–2020, 2019– 2021, 2020–2022.

On 13 February 2020, Kojamo's Board of Directors resolved on the long-term incentive plan's performance period of 2020–2022. The possible rewards for the performance period are based on the Group's revenue (%) and Funds From Operations (FFO) per share. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period correspond to the value of a maximum total of 102,242 shares including the proportion to be paid in cash.

If the three ongoing earning periods were accrued in full, the maximum bonus would be a sum corresponding to 312,345 Kojamo shares, of which 50 per cent would be paid in Kojamo shares and 50 per cent in cash. More information on the long-term incentive plan is provided in Kojamo's Remuneration Statement for 2019 and Kojamo's website.

Sustainability

Corporate responsibility and sustainable development are one of Kojamo's strategic focus areas. Sustainability is integral to Kojamo's operations and corporate culture. Sustainability is part of our DNA and it plays an important role in the work of everyone at Kojamo. This is reflected on various levels of our operations, including our business operations, working conditions and the customer interface. We emphasise responsibility towards customers, our obligations as a contractor as well as clear communication to our shareholders about the Kojamo's corporate and social responsibility efforts and their progress. We are committed to developing new and modern construction solutions, housing services and ecological innovations related to energy-efficient housing solutions. We operate openly and ethically and also require our partners to operate responsibly.

EPRA recognised Kojamo's financial statements and sustainability report with an award

EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association), an advocacy organisation for publicly listed European property investment companies, recognised Kojamo's financial statements for 2019 with a gold award for the second consecutive year and Kojamo's sustainability report for 2019 with a silver award. Kojamo also received a Most Improved award for developing its sustainability reporting.

EPRA assesses the financial statements and sustainability reports of European listed property companies yearly and grants awards to the best companies. The assessment compares the companies' reporting with EPRA's reporting standards and Best Practice Recommendations.

Our sustainability report for 2019 marked the first time that we have applied the EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations (EBRA sBPR, 3rd edition) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework.

We are continuing to focus on high-quality transparent sustainability reporting and, in 2020, we participated in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) survey for the first time. We report on our sustainability each year as part of our Annual Report.

Sustainability programme

We will publish our sustainability programme on 2 December 2020. The sustainability programme will include our sustainability priorities and objectives until 2030. Our sustainability programme is based on a materiality analysis we carried out in June 2020. Based on the materiality analysis, four priorities were selected for our sustainability programme: sustainable urban development, delivering the best customer experience, the most competent personnel and a dynamic place to work, and a responsible corporate citizen.

Towards lower-emission property development

Since 2016, we have implemented all of our new construction projects using our own plot reserves as nearly zero-energy buildings in accordance with the nZEB principles. At the end of the review period, nearly zero-energy buildings represented 79% (2,075 apartments) of all Kojamo projects completed since 2016. Of the properties under construction at the end of the period, nearly zero-energy buildings represented 90% (2,289 apartments).

Continuous improvement of energy efficiency

Kojamo has joined the Rental Property Action Plan (VAETS II) for the period 2017–2025. Our target under this action plan is to enhance the efficiency of energy consumption by 7.5 per cent during the period in question, using 2015 as the baseline (28,944 MWh/a in total). During the first three years of the period, 2017-2019, our energy efficiency measures have amounted to 21,255 MWh/a in total, which means that we had achieved 73% of our 2025 VAETS target by the end of 2019. Our energy efficiency measures have included Leanheat energy optimisation, new elevators and windows, the installation of low-consumption water fittings and adjustments to ventilation systems.

We focus on managing the energy consumption of the buildings in our property portfolio and use an AI-driven IoT solution by Leanheat Oy to control the temperature of 29,000 apartments owned by Kojamo.

Lumo, a responsible and environmentally friendly landlord

All of Kojamo's properties use hydropower-certified property electricity. We have also started to use carbon-neutral district heating at many of our properties. In 2019, carbon-neutral district heating was introduced at 79 properties. All residents of Lumo homes have the opportunity to use shared vehicles that are self-charging full hybrid cars. We aim to continuously develop recycling and offer comprehensive recycling opportunities to our residents.

We also focus on developing the environmental responsibility of our own operations. All Kojamo offices have been WWF Green Office certified since December 2019.

Social responsibility and being a responsible employer

We ensure our future competitiveness through competence development and offer an employee experience that attracts the best talent in the industry. We also work continuously to promote our corporate culture and the well-being of our personnel. The Kojamo Culture Compass project we launched in spring 2020 provided us with valuable input for our continued efforts to develop our corporate culture and employee experience. In September, we started using Virta, a new learning platform that we will use to build an inspiring and impactful culture of lifelong learning around our strategy.

Kojamo's sponsorship and grant programme provides financial support for young talents. The programme covers not only individual sports but also team sports. Personal grants are awarded to athletes aged 12–20 to encourage them in their sporting careers. Those living in Lumo and VVO homes are given priority. Grants have been awarded since 2012.

Corporate Governance

The anti-grey economy models used by Kojamo exceed legislative requirements in many respects. We continuously monitor the fulfilment of contractor obligations for all companies in our supplier network through the Reliable Partner service on the tilaajavastuu.fi website.

Kojamo estimates that the most significant risks and uncertainties in the current review period are related to the development of the Finnish economy. The near-term risks arise particularly from the COVID-19 pandemic. The risks and their magnitude are affected by the development of the pandemic as well as the scope and duration of the measures introduced to limit the pandemic. Predicting the development of the pandemic and the impact of the restrictions is exceptionally difficult.

The development of the Finnish economy may affect the housing and financial markets in exceptional ways. These factors may have an impact on Kojamo's profit and cash flow as well as the fair value of apartments. The general economic downturn may lead to unemployment, which can affect the ability of residents to pay rent and, subsequently, the company's rental income. The development of rental receivables and credit losses is actively monitored.

Urbanisation is expected to continue in the longer term. The supply of rental apartments may, however, increase locally in the main areas in which Kojamo operates, and the changes in supply and demand could have an impact on Kojamo's tenant turnover or the financial occupancy rate and, thereby, rental income. The restrictions implemented in response to the pandemic may, in the short term, also affect people's willingness to relocate and reduce migration.

If prolonged, the pandemic may have an impact on the operations of construction companies, which could result in delays in new projects. The prolongation of the pandemic could also have broader impacts on the housing market and property market, including apartment prices, rents and yield requirements.

A more detailed description of Kojamo's strategic risks and uncertainties is provided in the 2019 financial statements.

Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements

Basic information about the Group

Kojamo plc is Finland's largest market-based, private housing investment company that offers rental apartments and housing services in Finnish growth centres. On 30 September 2020, Kojamo owned a total of 35,613 rental apartments.

The Group's parent company, Kojamo plc, is a Finnish company domiciled in Helsinki. Its registered address is Mannerheimintie 168, 00300 Helsinki, Finland.

Trading in Kojamo's shares commenced on the pre-list of Nasdaq Helsinki on 15 June 2018 and on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki on 19 June 2018. In addition, a bond issued by Kojamo in 2016 is listed on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. The Group's three other bonds are listed on the official list of the Irish Stock Exchange. The Group has chosen Finland as its home state for the disclosure of periodic information pursuant to Chapter 7, Section 3 of the Finnish Securities Market Act.

Kojamo plc's Board of Directors approved this Interim Report for publication at its meeting on 5 November 2020.

1. Accounting policies

Basis for preparation

These interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as well as by applying the same accounting policies as in the previous annual financial statements, excluding the exceptions described below. The figures of the interim financial statements have not been audited.

The figures for 2019 are based on Kojamo plc's audited financial statements for 2019. The figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2019, and the comparison period is the corresponding period the year before, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires application of judgement by Kojamo's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Management must also make judgements when applying the Group's accounting policies. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used. The most significant items of this Interim Report where judgement has been applied by management, as well as the assumptions about the future and other key uncertainty factors in estimates at the end of the reporting period that create a significant risk of change in the carrying amounts of Kojamo's assets and liabilities within the next review period, are the same as those presented in the consolidated financial statements for the 2019 financial year. Of these, the most important are the determination of the fair values of investment properties and financial instruments. The COVID-19 pandemic may affect the housing and financial markets in exceptional ways. These factors may have an impact on Kojamo's profit and cash flow as well as the fair value of apartments.

2. Revenue

Specification of revenue from contracts with customers:

M€ 1–9/2020 1–9/2019 1–12/2019
Rental income 280.3 275.0 367.9
Water fees 5.8 4.4 6.2
Sauna fees 0.3 0.5 0.6
Total 286.4 279.9 374.8

Revenue consists primarily of rental income based on tenancy agreements. In the Group's business, the scope of IFRS 15 includes maintenance and service revenue, which include use-based charges collected from tenants.

3. Investment properties

Change in valuation method

Kojamo shifted from a transaction-based valuation technique to a yield-based valuation technique in the valuation of investment properties from 31 December 2019 onwards. This represents a change in accounting estimates. The change is not applied retrospectively. The effect of the change on the fair value of investment properties was approximately EUR 800 million in the 2019 financial statements. The yield-based valuation technique makes Kojamo more comparable with its relevant international peer group.

The value of investment properties includes EUR 2.4 (0.0) million in investment properties held for sale.

1) Includes IFRS 16 Leases

2) Includes the existing apartment stock and the acquisition costs of new projects under construction

Right-of-use assets included in the fair values of investment properties (IFRS 16 Leases):

Profit/loss on fair value of investment properties -0.8 -0.8 -1.1

Modernisation investments are often significant and they are primarily related to repairs and renovations of plumbing, facades, roofs, windows and balconies. The expected average technical useful lives of the plumbing systems, facades, roofs and balconies of residential properties are taken into consideration in the planning of modernisation investments.

Capitalised borrowing costs totalled EUR 2.6 (1.4) million. The interest rate applied to capitalised borrowing costs was 2.1 (2.2) per cent at the end of the review period.

During the review period, EUR -13.1 (-46.6) million was recognised in the fair value reserve from interest rate derivatives classified as cash flow hedges. The interest rate derivatives are used to hedge the loan portfolio's interest cash flows against increases in market interest rates. The interest rate derivatives mature between 2020 and 2035. At the end of the review period, the average maturity of interest rate swaps was 5.1 (5.9) years. Electricity derivatives hedge against increases in electricity prices and mature between 2020 and 2022. Electricity derivatives are not included in hedge accounting. The unrealised gains and losses from the measurement of derivatives are presented on the balance sheet under current and non-current assets or under liabilities in the item Derivative instruments.

There were no transfers between the hierarchy levels during the review period. The fair value of floating rate loans is the same as their nominal value, as the margins of the loans correspond to the margins of new loans. The fair values of bonds are based on market price quotations. The fair value of other fixed-rate liabilities is based on discounted cash flows, in which market interest rates are used as input data.

If there is no active market for the financial instrument, judgment is required to determine fair value and impairment. External mark to market valuations may be used for some interest rate derivatives. Recognition of impairment is considered if the impairment is significant or long-lasting. If the amount of impairment loss decreases during a subsequent financial year and the decrease can be considered to be related to an event occurring after the recognition of impairment, the impairment loss will be reversed.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three fair value hierarchy levels in accordance with the reliability of the valuation technique:

Level 1:

The fair value is based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2:

A quoted market price exists in active markets for the instrument, but the price may be derived from directly or indirectly quoted market data. Fair values are measured using valuation techniques. Their inputs are based on quoted market prices, including e.g. market interest rates, credit margins and yield curves.

Level 3:

There is no active market for the instrument, the fair value cannot be reliably derived and input data used for the determination of fair value is not based on observable market data.

Beginning of period 0.7 0.6 0.6
Change - 0.0 0.0
End of period 0.7 0.6 0.7

Investments measured at fair value through profit and loss on hierarchy level 3 are investments in unlisted securities and they are mainly measured at acquisition cost, as their fair value cannot be reliably measured in the absence of an active market. With regards to these items, it is evaluated that the acquisition cost is an appropriate estimate of fair value.
