Key figures 1–9/2024

Financial development

Kojamo plc's Interim Report January−September 2024 9

Total revenue and net rental income increased

  • Total revenue increased due to the rental apartments completed at the end of last year and the beginning of the year, and it was weakened by the development of rents and the financial occupancy rate
  • Net rental income was positively impacted by higher total revenue and lower repair expenses, and it was negatively impacted by increase in property maintenance expenses, which was caused by the growth of property portfolio, increased heating and water costs and the increase in property taxes

Kojamo plc's Interim Report January−September 2024

Profit before taxes and FFO

  • FFO decreased from the comparison period, which was particularly affected by higher financial and maintenance expenses. Financial income of the comparison period includes a profit of EUR 8.7 million from the repurchase of bonds

Outlook and financial targets

Kojamo plc's Interim Report January−September 2024 19

Outlook for Kojamo in 2024 unchanged

Kojamo estimates that in 2024, the Group's total revenue will increase by 2–4 per cent year-on-year. In addition, Kojamo estimates that the Group's FFO for 2024 will amount to between EUR 142–152 million, excluding non-recurring costs.

The outlook is based on the management's assessment of total revenue, property maintenance expenses and repairs, administrative expenses, financial expenses and taxes to be paid 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. The outlook does not take into account the impact of potential acquisitions or disposals on total revenue and FFO.

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.

Summary

Total revenue and net rental income increased

Financial occupancy rate decreased from the comparison period but improved in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of the year

The supply in the market has turned to a decline

Saving programme is progressing according to the plan
