Interim Report 1–3/2025

8 May 2025 Erik Hjelt, Interim CEO

Agenda

  • Summary of January–March 2025
  • Financial development
  • Outlook and financial targets

Summary of January– March 2025

The improvement in occupancy rate accelerated in the first quarter of the year

  • Total revenue and net rental income grew in the first quarter of the year
  • FFO decreased from the comparison period which was affected by increased financial expenses
  • Our occupancy rate has improved since last autumn. The increase accelerated during the first quarter of the year despite the oversupply of apartments and the typical seasonality
  • Our balance sheet has remained strong, and our liquidity is good
  • Following the successful issuance of the EUR 500 million bond in March, our loans maturing in 2026 are also covered
  • Although market uncertainty naturally impacts the operating environment, the supply and demand situation in the rental market has a greater impact on the company's operations.

Operating environment

General operating environment

  • The outlook for the global economy is exceptionally uncertain. The trade tariffs imposed by the United States and the retaliatory tariffs imposed by some countries are significantly slowing down global economic growth
  • The US economic growth was strong last year, but the trade war is weakening the outlook
  • The economic outlook for the euro area has weakened significantly, and GDP growth is expected to remain close to zero this year
  • The Finnish economy turned to a growth already last year, and the growth accelerated at the beginning of the year. Tariff increases and uncertainty are slowing down economic growth, but in 2026, the economy is expected to start recovering again
  • Central banks are expected to continue lowering rates this year

Outlook and financial targets

Outlook for Kojamo in 2025 unchanged

Kojamo estimates that in 2025, the Group's total revenue will increase by 1–4 per cent year-on-year. In addition, Kojamo estimates that the Group's FFO for 2025 will amount to between EUR 135–145 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 development of 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.

Topical with our sustainability work

  • Due to the Omnibus proposal made by the EU Commission, we will no longer be subject to sustainability and taxonomy reporting requirements. Due to the enactment of the Stop-the-clock directive, which postpones the start of the reporting obligation, we will not report the 2025 data in accordance with CSRD. Kojamo's goal is to continue to closely align our sustainability objectives with the key goals of our business. The easing of the structured reporting obligation allows us to continue developing our reporting in line with business needs and investor expectations.
  • We have made an agreement on demand response for district heating and smart heating optimisation in more than 40 Lumo buildings in Jyväskylä. With smart control, the indoor temperature remains more even, which increases the comfort of living and reduces energy consumption.
  • Due to the revisions of Rescue Act, the responsibility for the functionality and maintenance of smoke detectors will be transferred from the resident to the owner of the building by the end of 2025. The installations of new smoke detectors are currently underway and will be completed within the transition.
