Financial results

Q4 2023 reporting (unaudited)

Rental income performance

For the year ended 31st December 2023, our rental income reached mEUR 7.99, a substantial increase over mEUR 6.88 reported at the end of the previous year. This growth is primarily due to the successful integration of new developments and investment assets into our portfolio, coupled with CPI adjustments on existing leases and property management of existing portfolio, underscoring our strategic expansion efforts.

Operational cost and net rent

The direct ownership costs for the year 2023 amounted to mEUR 0.32 a slight increase from the previous year's mEUR 0.30. Despite this, the net rent remained robust, at mEUR 7.67 signifying a sound return on our expanded portfolio, were majority of ownercosts are recovered through the lease agreements.

Administration Costs and Other Operating Expenses

Administration costs for 2023 were mEUR 1.35, an increase compared to mEUR 1.29 from the year before. Other operating expenses decreased to mEUR 0.52 from mEUR 0.67 in 2022.

Net income from property management

Net income from property management (IFPM) stood at mEUR 2.92 for the year 2023, which is a slight decrease from mEUR 2.96 reported in 2022. The reduction in IFPM derives heavily by the significant increase in funding costs as other parameters has improved YoY.

Fair Value Adjustments and Valuation Methodology

The change in the fair value of our investment properties was mEUR 0.35 in 2023, showcasing a positive trend in our portfolio's market valuation mainly driven by property management on improved lease agreements, CPI on rent for 2024 in addition to the future interest rate curve reduced significantly during Q4. We continue to employ the standard Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method for our valuations, conducted by independent valuators. As of 31.12.2023, the portfolio was valued at mEUR 99.79 vs. mEUR 96.67 last year.

Interest Costs and Finance Expenses

The year 2023 experienced higher funding costs, with net realised interest cost reaching mEUR 2.80, an increase from mEUR 1.68 reported at the end of 2022. This increase aligns with the rising trend in global interest rates, yet our financial management has maintained a healthy margin above our covenant thresholds during the year. We predict that interest will remain high throughout 2024, although it is expected to decrease towards the end of the year as inflation across Europe appears to be declining.

Profitability and Taxation

The profit before tax for the year 2023 was mEUR 2.58, reflecting a strong financial performance. The current tax for the year was reduced, thanks to the reversal of a previous tax provision related to interest hedging agreements. This has favorably impacted our financials, leading to a net profit from continued operations of mEUR 2.51.

Net Asset Value development

Despite the pressures on valuations over the past two years, BSP has managed to maintain a steady return, primarily due to our conservative approach to valuation methodology over a longer period. Across Europe, most real estate companies have been, and continue to be, significantly impacted by declining market valuations on their portfolios. Despite an average 0.50% increase in our valuation yield over the past two years, our portfolio valuation has remained resilient, largely due to CPI-adjusted rent increases and enhancements in some of our lease agreements through professional asset management preserving our nominal values 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.

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.

Our development approach

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.
