We create better urban housing

We diversified our financing to ensure the achievement of our strategic goals.

  • Our public credit rating and the Eurobond listed on the Irish Stock Exchange support the company's goal of investing in Lumo homes in the urbanising Finland.
  • Our objective is to increase un-secured financing to a significant degree.

We invest in rental housing to support, among other things, the migration of people in pursuit of employment in the urbanising Finland.

  • Kojamo has 1,835 Lumo apartments under construction.
  • The focus of our operations is on the seven main urban regions of Finland and we respond to the demand for rental apartments especially in the Helsinki region.
  • Kojamo's share of the entire rental housing market is approximately four per cent.
  • In five years, we have invested nearly EUR 1.5 billion in the Lumo business operations.
  • We believe that new ideas create better urban housing and generate well-being in our country.

We have a strong emphasis on the development of our operations.

  • We are increasingly investing in digital services, the customer experience and our corporate culture.
  • The number of apartments rented via the Lumo web store now exceeds 300 per month.
  • The objective of our company is to be a housing investment company known for its excellent customer experience and producing excellent financial results.
  • We want to deliver an excellent customer experience every day. The customer experience consists of our code of conduct, our professional skill, our customer service attitude and our desire to solve the customer's problems all at once.

Key figures for the review period

  • Gross investments amounted to EUR 129.4 million.
  • Turnover totalled EUR 167.2 million.
  • Net rental income was EUR 106.0 million.
  • The financial occupancy rate was 96.6 per cent.
  • The Group had a total of 33,877 rental apartments and approximately 4% market share.
  • There were 1,835 rental apartments under construction.
  • We divested 1,459 apartments.
  • Approximately 2,500 apartments have been rented via the Lumo web store.

Operating environment

Urbanisation has continued strongly, which could be seen in the growing number of apartment buildings being built in growth centres. New construction clearly focused on privately financed rental apartments.

Urbanisation is expected to maintain demand in growth centres, while the higher supply offers increased alternatives to customers for the time being.

However, differences between regions increased and, in some regions, supply and demand were in balance. The strongest demand focused on smaller apartments, that is, studios and one-bedroom apartments. The increase in rents slowed.

Business operations and strategy progress

Market outlook

  • The growth forecasts for the Finnish economy have been revised upwards to well above two per cent (Ministry of Finance 6/2017: 2.4%). Growth expectations are based on household consumption and construction as well as growth in all major industries. The increase in private consumption is supported by improved employment.
  • Driven by migration, the demand for rental housing is expected to remain strong in major growth centres, even if supply has increased significantly.
  • Growing supply is particularly reflected in increasing tenant turnover. Continuing intensive urbanisation increases regional differences.
  • Even in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, differences between regions are increasing. New development is expected to continue focusing on privately financed rental apartments.
  • Price trends in owner-occupied apartments are expected to continue to be stable in growth centres.

Outlook for Kojamo Group in 2017

  • Net rental income is estimated to amount to EUR 208–220 million.
  • Investments are forecast to exceed EUR 300 million.
  • The operative result is estimated to be EUR 96–107 million.
  • The outlook takes into account the effects of both the significant housing divestments carried out in 2016 and the housing divestments and acquisitions planned for 2017, the estimated occupancy rate and the number of apartments under construction.
