Quarterly report Q3 2024 (unaudited)
We are pleased to present our third-quarter report, highlighting another period of strong performance and robust cash flow growth, achieved despite a complex and evolving economic environment.
In Lithuania, the economic outlook remains optimistic. The European Commission forecasts GDP growth of 2% in 2024, driven by strong private consumption and sustained investment. This resilience underscores the strength of the Lithuanian market, even amidst external challenges.
In navigating uncertainties, BSP remains committed to a disciplined growth strategy, supported by a substantial investment pipeline that aligns with our ambitious growth objectives. Our focus on sustainable real estate development, supported by a solid capital structure, continues to strengthen our position in the sector.
Furthermore, we believe the attractive yield spread relative to the Nordics will sustain both robust cash yields and strong value growth potential, reinforcing BSP's long-term value proposition.

Quarterly report Q3 2024 (unaudited)
For the first three quarters of 2024, our rental income reached mEUR 6.22, representing a 4.1% increase from mEUR 5.98 reported at the end of third quarter 2023. This growth is primarily due to CPI adjustments on existing leases.
Direct ownership costs for the first three quarters of 2024 amounted to mEUR 0.19, down from mEUR 0.23 in the same period last year. Net rent amounted to mEUR 6.03, up from mEUR 5.74, showcasing that the majority of direct owner costs are recovered through the lease agreements.
Administration costs for the period were mEUR 1.04, slightly up from the previous year. Other operating expenses increased to mEUR 0.47 from mEUR 0.34 per 30th September last year, mainly driven by costs related to newly signed development projects and the capital raise completed in June and July.
Net income from property management (IFPM) stood at mEUR 1.79, a decrease from mEUR 2.40 reported at the end of the third quarter of 2023. The reduction in IFPM is primarily driven by the significant increase in funding costs and one time costs related to the capital raising process. However, we observe improvements on funding costs with lower forward curves for the EURIBOR (3-month EURIBOR decreased from 4.0% to 3.1% during Q2), whilst 1 to 5 year Swap rates are currently around 2.5%. This will have a major influence on improving IFPM going forward. Additional costs associated with project development activities also impacted the IFPM.
Despite the pressures on valuations over the last few years, BSP has managed to maintain a steady return, primarily due to our conservative approach to valuation methodology, CPI-adjustments and improvement in some of our lease agreements through professional asset management preserving our portfolio value throughout. This strategy has laid a strong foundation for the future, positioning us well to capitalise on what we believe will be improving yields and lower discount rates in the medium to longer term period.
During the first three quarters of 2024, the valuation of our investment properties increased by mEUR 1.01. Additionally, the activation of development costs and the completion of solar panel installations increased the fair value by a total of mEUR 5.07.
We continue to employ the standard Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method for our valuations, conducted by independent valuators. As of 30th September 2024, the portfolio was valued at mEUR 105.9, up from mEUR 99.8 at year-end 2023.
We have experienced higher funding costs compared to the same period last year, with net realised interest costs and finance expenses reaching mEUR 2.79, an increase from mEUR 2.12 reported per end of third quarter 2023. This increase aligns with the high global interest rate market, yet our financial management maintains a healthy margin above our covenant thresholds. For further information on our finance expenses, please see pages 12-13.
Net profit after tax for the first three quarters of 2024 was mEUR 2.40, compared to mEUR 1.49 for the same period in 2023.

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 | • | Financial liabilities are valued and included at book value. |
adjustments for NAV:
• 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)

Provided by Kristina Živatkauskaitė and Mindaugas Kulbokas at Newsec Baltics (14 August 2024)
Lithuania's economy is stabilizing and showing signs of recovery after a period of uncertainty. The economy returned to a growth trajectory, with GDP indicators for the first half of 2024 surpassing expectations and exceeding the EU average. The first half year of 2024 GDP indicators were better than expected, with a 2.4% annual growth. The forecasts were improved, and Lithuania's GDP should grow by 2.1% in 2024, and by 2.9% in 2025. Inflation has been effectively controlled, with the overall price level remaining stable. Inflation in Lithuania has disappeared. The rising prices of services are offset by decreasing prices of goods and the annual price level has been close to zero. The average annual HICP for 2024 is forecasted to be +1.1%, and for 2025 it's projected to be +2.2%. The labor market is also showing resilience, with unemployment rates beginning to decrease, including a notable improvement in youth unemployment. The labour market in Lithuania remains robust. The unemployment rate in the country increased significantly in Q4 of 2023 but started to decrease in the first half year of this year. Finally, youth unemployment (aged 15-24) has started to decrease, as it had been growing quite rapidly for over half a year. Unemployment estimates for 2024 are at 7.2%, and for 2025 it's projected to be 6.9%. The forecasts for GDP growth and inflation suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook for the coming years.
The first half of the year was relatively quiet in Lithuania's investment market, with most transactions centered around redevelopment projects. The largest deals included the acquisition of the Ergo HQ office building in Vilnius, located near Vingis Park and adjacent to the upcoming Vingis Akropolis project, as well as the existing Ibis Styles Vilnius hotel near Vilnius Airport. Both properties were purchased with plans for redevelopment or conversion. This period marked one of the weakest quarters in the history of Lithuania's investment market, with all deals being conducted by local investors. However, the second quarter showed some signs of improvement, with notable transactions including the sale of the Svitrigailos 11B business centre, four Lidl grocery stores, and the Camelia logistics centre. Despite these deals, the total investment volume for large deals in Lithuania during the first half of the year remained very low, reaching approximately 65 million EUR.
While the first half of the year in Lithuania's investment market was subdued, with limited activity primarily driven by local investors and focused on redevelopment projects, there are early signs of a potential recovery. The second quarter showed some improvement with a few notable transactions, indicating that investor confidence may be gradually returning. Additionally, with expectations of potential interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank, there is cautious optimism that investment activity could pick up in the latter half of the year, as lower borrowing costs might encourage more deals and further stimulate the market.
The supply of office space in Vilnius increased by 20 400 sqm in H1 2024. Completed projects included the Teltonika HQ with 11 000 sqm, the Vestum business centre with 6 000 sqm, and Sporto 16 with 3 400 sqm. The overall market grew by 6.7% over the past 12 months, reaching 1.15 million sqm. The remaining projects slated for 2024 are at various stages of development. Notable ones are the Yellowstone, set to open in the summer of 2024, and the Sand Offices, due to be completed by year-end. That would put total new supply for 2024 at 37 850 sqm. A broader range of offerings
is anticipated next year. In 2025, over 104 000 sqm of office space will be added in the Vilnius CBD. That includes large-scale projects like the HERO business centre, the Business Stadium Central, and Konstitucijos 14A. New office space will also become available at Svitrigailos 19, Jasinskio 2, St Jacob's Quarter, and Tech Zity Vilnius. All these projects are currently in the active leasing phase, designed to satisfy a wide array of tenant preferences. The focus of developers has shifted back to the Central Business District – 70% of new supply will be concentrated in this area.
The take-up of office space totalled about 34 600 sqm in Q2. Takeup of some 60 000 sqm in H1 2024 was more than the historical average. We are thus raising our full-year projection to 85 000-95 000 sqm. That cautious forecast may be exceeded if long-awaited deals at several of the new projects come through. But tenants are taking the time to assess relocation plans cautiously and responsibly. The overall level of vacancy fell from to 8.1%. While the vacancy level for class A premises fell to 6.5%, in class B, available space increased, and the vacancy rate rose to 9.4%.
The demand forecast for the full year has been revised upwards, reflecting cautious optimism in the market. However, tenants are proceeding slowly with relocation plans, contributing to a slight rise in vacancy rates, particularly in class B office spaces. As the market adjusts, the concentration of new supply in the Central Business District suggests a strategic focus on meeting diverse tenant needs in prime locations. The overall market dynamics hint at a balanced but cautious optimism for the remainder of the year and beyond.
The current state of the logistics sector reflects a downturn in demand, yet there is cautious optimism for a gradual recovery later in the year, potentially driven by improved economic conditions or seasonal trends. Despite the current slowdown, the completion of multiple new stock office projects signals ongoing investment and development in this real estate segment, with developers demonstrating confidence in the market's long-term prospects. In the rental market, the stability of prices amid fluctuating vacancy rates suggests a delicate equilibrium between supply and demand. The increasing vacancy in older properties highlights shifting market dynamics as businesses prioritize more efficient and modern spaces to optimize operations.
The surge in new construction projects is fuelled by several factors. Favorable construction costs are enabling developers to capitalize on efficiencies and pursue growth opportunities, while the focus on sustainability and technological advancements aligns with broader industry trends and regulatory requirements, driving investments in cutting-edge projects. Even with lower current demand, the anticipation of record-breaking new warehouse supply underscores developers' confidence in the long-term viability of the market.
However, land for development remains scarce and expensive, with little expectation of improvement in the mid-term. In this environment, tenants hold a strong negotiating position, benefiting from the surplus of available space and the reduced risks associated with new construction. This presents a strategic opportunity for tenants to secure favorable terms and optimize their positions in the current market conditions.

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.
