We create better urban housing

Total revenue and net rental income increased

  • The growth of property portfolio and development of rents had a positive impact on the total revenue
  • Net rental income increased due to higher total revenue but was weakened by higher property maintenance and repair costs

Profit before taxes and FFO

• FFO remained on level with the previous year. FFO was affected by the increase in maintenance costs, especially in terms of heating costs, as well as financing costs

Financial occupancy rate improved

  • Financial occupancy rate was 92.2% (91.9%) at the end of the review period
  • Tenant turnover decreased from last year

Financial occupancy rate = (rental income / potential rental income at full occupancy) * 100. Financial occupancy rate does not include apartments under renovation Tenant turnover = (terminated rental agreements under the period / number of apartments) * 100

Investments have proceeded according to plans

  • For the time being, we will not make new investment decisions due to the uncertainty in the market
  • Ongoing projects will be completed as agreed

Outlook, financial targets and dividend policy

Outlook for Kojamo in 2023 unchanged

Kojamo estimates that in 2023, the Group's total revenue will increase by 7–10 per cent year-on-year. In addition, Kojamo estimates that the Group's FFO for 2023 will amount to between EUR 153–165 million, excluding non-recurring costs.

The outlook is based on the management's assessment of total revenue, property maintenance costs and repairs, 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.

The outlook takes into account the estimated occupancy rate and rises in rents as well as the number of apartments to be completed. The outlook does not take into account the impact of potential acquisitions or disposals on total revenue and FFO, nor the impact on FFO of potential premature funding of the Eurobond due in 2024.

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.

Dividend policy

Kojamo's objective is to be a stable dividend payer whose annual dividend payment will be at least 60 per cent of FFO, provided that the Group's equity ratio is 40 per cent or more and taking account of the company's financial position.

Dividend history

Per share key figures have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the decision by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on 25 May 2018 regarding the share split. In the share split the shareholders received 30 new shares per each existing share Dividend, € / share Dividend, % of FFO

Summary

Operations continued steadily: total revenue and net rental income grew

FFO remained at year-end

level

Occupancy rate developed positively, and the demand for rental apartments is on the rise

Our balance sheet is strong, and liquidity has remained good
