Half -Year Financial Report 1–6/2019

23 August 2019 Jani Nieminen, CEO Erik Hjelt, CFO

Kojamo plc

  • Summary of January–June 2019
  • Financial development
  • Outlook, financial targets and dividend policy

Operating environment

General operating environment

  • Kojamo is affected particularly by urbanization, the situation in the residential property market and development in the Finnish growth centres, as well as macro-economic factors
  • Economic growth in the coming years is expected to be more moderate than in recent years
  • Global economic growth is expected slow substantially this year compared to last year, and the economic outlook is estimated to have weakened in Finland's key export markets. Private investments are estimated to turn to a decrease as the number of residential start-ups begins to follow the declining trend of new building permits.
  • Private consumption growth is supported this year by higher income levels and improved employment

Operating environment

Residential production and price development

  • The volume of housing production is returning to normal, the declining number of building permits and start-ups will not be reflected until the latter part of 2020. Growth centres are expected to represent an increasing share of housing production
  • Accelerated urbanisation increases the demand for apartments, which puts upward pressure on prices in growth centres. The development of prices in the housing market will continue to diverge between growth centres and other areas
  • An increasing number of people also choose rental housing of their own accord. Due to rising apartment prices and stricter loan terms, it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy an apartment especially in the inner city areas of large cities. This often leaves renting as an only option for finding an apartment in a specific area for many households

Operating environment

The popularity of rental housing increases

  • The trend of regional divergence will accelerate in 2019–2040 and the significance of the 10 largest urban areas will increase
  • Urbanisation increases the demand for rental housing. Those who move to growth centres increasingly see rental housing as an easier, safer and more flexible choice
  • The growing demand for services is also reflected in living preferences. Living-related needs can be increasingly satisfied by services instead of owning

Financial development

Total revenue increased

  • Total revenue increased by 3.7 per cent from the comparison period
  • Profit excluding changes in value increased, but smaller changes in value had an impact on profit before taxes

* Changes in value = Profit/loss on fair value of investment properties

Net rental income and FFO increased

  • Net rental income developed positively and increased by 7.4 per cent
  • In addition to improved net rental income, lower income taxes than in the comparison period had an effect on FFO growth

Changes in the total number of Kojamo shares have an impact on relative development of FFO per share. 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.

Occupancy rate increased

• Occupancy rate increased despite of slight increase in tenant turnover

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

Kojamo plc's Half-Year Financial Report January–June 2019 The calculation method of tenant turnover has been changed, starting from 1 January 2017. The comparison data has not been modified to reflect the new calculation method.

Outlook for Kojamo in 2019 (specified)

Kojamo estimates that in 2019, the Group's total revenue will increase by 3–5 per cent year-on-year (previously 2–7 per cent). In addition, the company estimates that the Group's FFO for 2019 will amount to between EUR 134–144 million, excluding one-off items (previously EUR 130–143 million). Investments in new development and housing stock acquisitions are forecast to be approximately, or exceed, EUR 300 million (previously to exceed EUR 300 million). Achieving the level of EUR 300 million would require acquisitions of residential properties during the second half of the year.

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 like-for-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.

Dividend policy

Kojamo plc's Half-Year Financial Report January–June 2019

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

* Including extra dividend EUR 0.29 per share.

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.

Summary

Central key figures improved during the review period: total revenue and net rental income increased, FFO improved even by 68%

The occupancy rate increased supported by the development of the renting process and webstore in spite of increased supply in the market

The number of rented apartments via webstore has exceeded already 12,000, MyLumo web mobile service has established its user base
