  • Revenue for Q2 2023 was NOK 104.2 million, up from NOK 97.9 million in Q2 2022. The increase is related to the growth in lettable area and increased average rate.
  • The decrease in salary and other employee benefits are related a change in timing of holiday-pay for the Norwegian employees
  • Property-related expenses in Q2 2023 are mainly impacted by the increased number of facilities and CLA in the portfolio.
  • Other operating expenses are impacted by temporary higher bad dept provisions following the implementation of the new CRM and ERP system in Denmark
  • Operating profit before fair value adjustments in Q2 2023 of NOK 56.6 million
  • There are none non-recurring items in Q2 2023 and Q2 2022
  • The fair value of investment property is based on external valuations for freehold investment property and value adjustment due to passage of time for leasehold investment property. Inflation is expected to exceed the long-term inflation target over the next years which increases the value of the freehold portfolio, however the increase is offset by negative effects from yield expansions in the property market.
