Q3 2023 reporting

We are pleased to present our third-quarter report, showcasing growth despite challenging market dynamics. This period has been marked by a robust increase in our rental income, with a significant 20% rise compared to the same period last year. This growth is a testament to our resilience and adaptability in a challenging market environment.

Maintaining strong project pipeline and resilient investment portfolio

Despite the headwinds of increasing financial costs due to rising interest rates through 2023, our strategic growth strategy has been important. The successful introduction of new developments and investment assets throughout last year has been instrumental in sustaining the strong cash flow development we have consistently achieved in recent years albeit at a lower pace than before. Below we have highlighted some of the major developments thus far in 2023:

  • Completion of solar panel installation at Klaipėda Business Park, furthering our commitment to sustainability and lower electricity prices for our clients.
  • Successful finalisation and handover of the Oribalt expansion project.
  • Advancement in our BREEAM In-Use certification strategy, reinforcing our dedication to environmental responsibility.
  • Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to enhance transparency for investors and stakeholders.
  • Dividend distribution of NOK 1.60 per share to our shareholders in June in line with the company's long term startegy.
  • Significant progress in our development project pipeline, including preliminary agreements for Liepu Parkas development in Klaipeda.
  • Securing a 17,255 sqm expansion project for Rhenus Logistics, entering a new 15-year lease agreement, to commence following the expected 2025 handover. Upon completion, the over 35 600-square-meter facility will become one of the Baltic region's leading logistics centers.

Subsequent Events

In November, a new lease agreement was secured with the Klaipeda Free Economic Zone (FEZ), setting the stage for the expansion of Klaipėda Business Park by up to 16,000 sqm in two phases. This expansion will increase the integrated business park complex from 24,000 sqm to over 40,000 sqm, underlining our commitment to supporting growth and innovation in the region. First established in 2003, Klaipėda Business Park is the leading business park in Western Lithuania, with more than 30 companies leasing production, logistics, commercial, and office space in flexible units. We are eager to advance the project and have already commenced the planning process.

Fundamentals drives us forward

Our fundamental approach to real estate management and development, combined with a strong capital structure, positions us to navigate the current market cycle. We have a strong position in our sector and are are optimistic about seizing further opportunities.

Wish all a nice start to the Winter season!

Financial results

Q3 quarterly report 2023

Rental income performance

For the year 2023 to date, our rental income reached mEUR 5.97, a notable increase from mEUR 4.98 in the previous year. This substantial growth is primarily attributed to the successful introduction of new developments and investment assets throughout 2022/2023, coupled with CPI adjustments on existing leases. These strategic expansions and adjustments have significantly contributed to our income in 2023.

Operational cost and net rent

The first half of 2023 saw a marginal increase in direct ownership costs, rising to mEUR 0.23 from mEUR 0.18. This rise is primarily due to the expansion of our portfolio. Net rent for the same period has been robust, standing at mEUR 5.7, up from mEUR 4.8. With the majority of our portfolio governed by triple net agreements, the direct unrecovered property costs have remained comparatively low. We anticipate these costs to continue at this manageable level, reflecting our efficient portfolio management.

Our administration costs have remained relatively stable, with a slight increase to approximately mEUR 0.93 from mEUR 0.90, reflecting consistent operational efficiency and we have ability to increase our scale with minimum increase of our management cost. Other operating expenses were reduced with approximately mEUR 0.25 to mEUR 0.34 from mEUR 0.66 in Q3 22.

Impact of increased interest rates

The year 2023 has witnessed a significant increase in EURIBOR, equal to the broader trend in global markets. This increase has led to higher funding costs for BSP in comparison to the previous year. Our interest expenses for year to date amounted to mEUR 2.1, a notable increase from mEUR 1.13 in the corresponding period last year. Specifically, financing cost of our portfolio increased to mEUR 1.73 (inc. swaps), compared to mEUR 0.85 in the previous year. Despite rising interest costs, we still have a comfortable spread to our bank covenants with both our Group debt service cost coverage (DSCR) and our interest coverage rate (ICR) at 1.20 and 2.23 respectively. Adjusted for group financing and sellers credit, real estate financed SPV´s have a consolidated DSCR of 1.62 and a ICR of 3.24 excluding internal management fees.

Net income from property management

Our net income from property management for Q3 2023 reached mEUR 2.39, an increase of 13% compared to the same period last year.

Fair value adjustments

The first half of the year saw a reduction in the fair value of our investment properties, amounting to approximately mEUR 0.41. This decrease is due to marginaly higher construction costs for the Oribalt expansion project, along with other uncapitalised capital repairs.

Valuation methodology and portfolio yield

The valuations of our investment portfolio have been made by two independent valuators using the standard Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method, in line with our normal practice. As of our 30.09.23 valuations, there have been no management adjustments on the half year valuations, with valuation yields and discount rates remaining consistent according to valuators. Since 31.12.2022, the portfolio yield has seen an average increase of approximately 0.5%.

The portfolio was valued at a total of mEUR 97.89 as of 30th September 2023, based on valuations from Newsec and Oberhaus as of 30th June 2023, adjusted for additional investments made during the quarter.

Net Asset Value (NAV)

Net Asset Value (NAV) is a measure of the fair value of the company's net assets on an on-going long-term basis, calculated as the total value of the company's assets minus the total value of its liabilities, with certain adjustments.

Public and private real estate companies and real estate funds use slightly different adjustment principles when calculating their NAV. Below is therefore an explanation of how NAV is calculated in Baltic Sea Properties.

Assets
valuation and
adjustments
for NAV:


Investment (income generating) property and development land is valued and included
using the most recent market value based on independent valuations (using discounted
cash flow method.)
External financial investments are valued and included at their most recently published/
recorded NAV (alternatively most recent transaction price if NAV is not available.)
Development property, unfinished construction and other assets are valued and included
at book value (cost price less depreciation)
Liabilities
adjustments
for NAV:



Financial liabilities are valued and included at book value.
Deferred tax liabilities are valued and included at 50 % of the deferred profit tax calculated
on the difference between the current property market value and tax book value. (This
adjustment principle is based on market practice and a deemed fair value basis)
Interest rate swaps are valued and included at book value.
Other liabilities are valued and included at book value.

Sustainability in development

Building for the future — a holistic approach to new developments.

We are working actively with both building- and system-optimising solutions to improve the sustainability and reduce the carbon emission footprint of our operations.

We focus on the long-term longevity of our buildings and optimising our strategic locations. That is why we always design the buildings in our new developments to be durable for the long-term, focusing on high-quality material and solutions which offer building flexibility and adaptability for business and operational changes, different clients, and lease cycles over its lifespan.

We believe transition of the sustainability and quality in the operations should be imbedded in the development of buildings, also for industrial and logistics. Hence, at an early stage in the process in our built-to-suit developments, we offer a variety of sustainability solutions to our clients, including but not limited to:

BREEAM In-Use "Very Good" certification as a minimum

Efficiency-focused designs, emphasising longevity and flexibility for future adaptions

Solar panels, geothermal heating and heat pumps

Waste, recycling and smart water systems

Internal and external LED-lighting in all buildings

BREEAM is an environmental assessment and rating system that measures a building's sustainability performance across categories like energy use, water consumption, materials, and waste, aiming to promote sustainable building practices and reduce environmental impact. The resulting rating indicates the building's sustainability performance and can be used to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and improve longterm building performance.
