"The growth rate has been good and over the past four months we are pleased to see that we have increased our property portfolio by 20 per cent."

We started the year by reporting our highest profit from property management ever and following the completion of the share issue of SEK 250 million, we are ready to take advantage of further good business opportunities.
Revenue for the quarter amounts to SEK 111 million, which is an increase of 17 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2023 and a full 19 per cent higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. For net operating income, we see a similar increase, 18 per cent compared to both the first quarter of 2023 and the previous quarter. Profit from property management amounted to SEK 35 million, which is an increase of 46 per cent compared with the first quarter of 2023 and an increase of 40 per cent compared with the previous quarter. Net asset value per share is SEK 13.90 (13.20). In terms of earnings capacity, net operating income now amounts to SEK 367 million, which is more than a doubling in two years' time.
In February, we carried out a directed share issue of SEK 250 million. The issue was made at the latest published net asset value per share and we are pleased to note that major investors in the issue were reputable institutions such as Länsförsäkringar Fonder, AP4 and Carnegie Fonder. Our major shareholders in the form of Slättö, Nordika and M2 also participated in the issue, which shows a good breadth and strong confidence in the company. The issue gives us the opportunity to continue to make right investments, both in the form of new acquisitions and value-creating investments in our own portfolio. The transaction market has gradually strengthened over the past six months, but we still see very good opportunities to make good investments. There are many indications of an interest rate cut in the coming months, which should mean higher transaction activity and, in the longer term,
declining yield levels. A major focus in both Sweden and Europe is warehouse and logistics properties. The interest applies to both existing properties and buildable land. Our valuation yield amounts to a high 6.7 per cent and the value adjustments for the quarter amount to SEK 121 million.
Financially, we remain stable. We have a loan-to-value ratio of 44 per cent and an interest coverage ratio that increases gradually between quarters. After we refinanced a larger share of our bank debt, the tied-up capital amounts to 2.5 years. The part of the interest-bearing debt that will be refinanced during the year is the remainder of our bond loan of SEK 75 million. The fixed interest period amounts to 2.4 years and 71 per cent of our fixed income portfolio are hedged. Tying up a large part of our fixed income portfolio in December proved to be beneficial as the three-year yield has since risen by 35 basis points.
During the quarter, we acquired three properties with long-term leases for our portfolio. The latest addition is a property located in Falun, which is leased to NKT with a lease that runs until December 2037. NKT will thus be our largest tenant and will be further strengthened when our joint project in Alingsås is completed at the end of the year. The average term of our leases remains long, at 8.1 years. The rate of growth has been good and over the past four months we are pleased to see that we have increased our property portfolio by 20 per cent. We have just reached SEK 6 billion in property value and will continue to take advantage of the positive market situation to further expand the property portfolio with valuecreating investments.

Rental income excluding rent supplements increased for the quarter by 18.4 per cent to SEK 90 million (76) and total income amounted to SEK 111 million (95). Income has increased mainly as a result of property acquisitions and index adjustments in existing leases. For comparable property holdings, rental income excluding rent supplements increased by 2.4 per cent as a result of indexation and the impact of a lower occupancy rate compared with the corresponding period last year. A breakdown of revenue can be found in Note 2.
Of the quarter's increase in rental income, excluding rent supplements of SEK 14 million, SEK 2 million is attributable to comparable property holdings, SEK 1 million from completed projects and SEK 11 million from properties taken over.
Property expenses for the period amounted to SEK -33 million (-29). Costs have increased as a result of higher media costs, maintenance costs and costs that come from the expanded property portfolio. For comparable property holdings, costs increased by 12.0 per cent, which is due to higher media costs and maintenance costs, as well as an adjusted classification of management fees between property costs and central administration. Most of the operating expenses for the quarter have been passed on to the tenants in accordance with the lease agreements.
Completed property acquisitions and increased index surcharges for rental income contributed to an increase in net operating income of 18.2 per cent to SEK 78 million (66) for the period. For comparable property holdings, net operating income increased by 0.8 per cent compared with the previous year. A breakdown of net operating income can be found in Note 2.
For the past twelve months, the surplus ratio was 77.2 per cent (72.4) and the adjusted surplus ratio was 90.0 per cent (87.6).
Costs for central administration, which refers to costs for Group management and Group-wide functions, amounted to SEK -10 million (-9) for the period. The increase is mainly attributable to variable remuneration to the personnel.




Despite an increase in interest-bearing debt compared with the comparison period, net financial items for the quarter were unchanged at SEK 33 million (33). Repurchases in the company's own issued bonds in 2023 have resulted in a decrease in the average borrowing rate to 5.0 per cent compared to 5.1 per cent at the same time last year.
During the quarter, net borrowing amounted to SEK 460 million (61), which is linked to property transactions that have been completed.
Profit from property management for the quarter amounted to SEK 35 million (24). The increase is mainly due to an increased property portfolio as a result of acquisitions. Profit from property management increased from SEK 25 million in the previous quarter to SEK 35 million in the first quarter of the year. The increase is mainly due to the higher net operating income as a result of index increases in existing contracts and new acquisitions.
For the period, changes in the value of the property holdings amounted to SEK 121 million (-14). The unrealised change in value amounted to SEK 121 million (-13) and the realised change in value was SEK 0 million (-1). Of the unrealised change in value, SEK 74 million is based on rising net operating income, mainly as a result of completed lettings and renegotiations. SEK 35 million is due to changed assumptions regarding the yield requirement, where the yield requirement has been adjusted upwards by an average of 0.2 percentage points during the period, partly affected by acquisitions made during the quarter. In addition, SEK 12 million of the unrealised change in value is based on a deferred tax rebate on acquisitions. More information on changes in the value of properties can be found in the property section and in Note 6.
Logistea's interest rate derivatives are marked to market at the end of each quarter. For the quarter, changes in value linked to interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 24 million (-6).
Tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK -37 million (-1). The tax consists of current tax of SEK -3 million (-1) on profit for the period and deferred tax of SEK -34 million (0). The corporate tax rate for the 2024 tax year amounts to 20.6 per cent (20.6).
Profit for the first quarter of the year amounted to SEK 143 million (2), primarily as a result of higher unrealised changes in the value of properties and derivatives and improved profit from property management. Profit from distributed operations amounted to SEK 0 (-1).

Logistea's property portfolio as of March 31 by region.


Leasable area by region 31 March 2024, sqm

West Central South East North

During the first quarter, possession was taken of three properties. One property located in Karlstad and one in Nybro with a total rental income of SEK 14.2 million. As well as a property in Falun with an annual rental income of SEK 24.2 million. All properties are fully leased with a combined average remaining lease term of more than 10 years.
As of March 31, 2024, Logistea owned 72 properties (69) in 43 locations (40) in Sweden. Rental value at the end of the period amounted to SEK 404 million (366). Total lettable area amounted to 664 thousand square meters (599), excluding ongoing and planned new construction and extensions. The average contracted rental value for the property portfolio was SEK 583 per square metre (588). The economic letting rate for investment properties was 95.7 per cent (95.7) at the end of the period.
On the balance sheet date, the annual rental value of investment properties amounted to SEK 404 million (366), compared with SEK 330 million at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
The total carrying value of the property holdings on the balance sheet date amounted to SEK 6,001 million (5,386). As of the balance sheet date, there is one ongoing new construction that is planned to be completed within a 12-month period and refers to a new construction for NKT HV Cables AB at Bulten 1 in Alingsås with an investment volume of a total of SEK 160 million, which is expected to be completed in Q4 2024.
The property yield for Logistea's cash flow-generating properties at the end of the period was 6.2 per cent (6.3) and the average valuation yield was 6.7 per cent (6.6).
At the end of the first quarter, 24 per cent of the cash-flow-generating properties, corresponding to 25 per cent of the total portfolio in terms of value, were valued by external authorised and independent valuation institutes. Other properties have been valued internally. To assess the market value of the properties, Logistea has used Newsec and Savills as independent valuation companies.
For the first quarter, the unrealised change in value amounted to SEK 121 million (-13). Of the unrealised change in value, SEK 74 million is based on rising net operating income, mainly as a result of completed lettings and renegotiations. SEK 35 million is due to changed assumptions regarding the yield requirement, where the yield requirement has been adjusted upwards by an average of 0.2 percentage points during the period, partly affected by acquisitions made during the quarter. In addition, SEK 12 million of the unrealised change in value is based on a deferred tax rebate on acquisitions.
As a general rule, cash flow calculations are used in value assessments, in which net operating income, investments and residual value are calculated at present value. The calculation period is adjusted based on the remaining term of each property's existing lease. The valuation technique is unchanged from the previous year and more information about valuations can be found in note 6 in this report and in note 10 in Logistea's Annual and Sustainability Report 2023.

Logistea's vision is to be the natural long-term partner to companies that demand sustainable and modern premises for warehousing, logistics and light industry by offering sustainable and efficient premises in good business locations adapted to the tenants' needs. Together with the tenants, the properties are developed for the benefit of both parties.
Logistea primarily signs so-called triple net leases with full KPI adjustment, where the tenant pays the cost of operation and maintenance in addition to the contracted rent. Examples of these costs are heating, electricity, water, property tax, property management and maintenance of the properties. This means that Logistea has a limited risk of increases in these types of costs.
Logistea's acquisition strategy focuses on and prioritizes properties in good locations with financially stable tenants and long-term leases. As of March 31, 2024, the average remaining lease term for Logistea's tenants was 8.1 years (7.9). Logistea prioritizes a well-diversified customer base in terms of the tenants' business areas and industries, which is expected to provide a reduced risk of rental losses and vacancies and a stable cash flow over time.
For the first quarter, net lettings were negative at SEK 3 million (0), which is explained by a bankruptcy in which almost half of the affected areas are already leased to a new tenant.
In addition, after the end of the quarter, a new lease agreement was signed with the Swedish Fortifications Agency for approximately 6,100 square meters of warehouse space in the Norra Höja 3:3 property in Kristinehamn at an annual rent of SEK 2.9 million.

In order to maintain satisfied and long-term tenants, Logistea works continuously to develop, refine, modernize and adapt its properties based on the tenant's needs. Together with the tenants, Logistea develops new properties, modernizes and expands existing properties, and drives further development of the surrounding environment adjacent to the properties. Through a good and close collaboration, Logistea can grow together with the tenants.
In August 2023, Logistea signed a 20-year lease agreement with NKT HV Cables AB for the construction of a production and test facility at the property Bulten 1 in Alingsås. The investment amounts to a maximum of SEK 160 million and the building is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The lease is a green triple-net lease. The project is financed through Sparbanken Alingsås. Logistea has also extended the lease agreement with NKT for approximately 10,700 square meters in the existing building on the same property until 2045-04-30. The annual rent, excluding surcharges, for the two leases amounts to a total of approximately SEK 29.6 million.
Vaggeryd Logistics Park is an extensive development area located south of Jönköping. In addition to an excellent logistics location, there is also a rail connection in the area. The logistics park comprises a total land area of 380,000 square meters and approximately 150,000 square meters of developable building rights, excluding the first completed construction phase.
Battery storage facilities with an output of 9 MW are now being installed in the logistics park, which is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2024.
With its proximity to the Båramo Terminal, a combi terminal linked by rail from the Port of Gothenburg, the area is one of the largest inland nodes in the shuttle system. Here, Logistea is planning the construction of modern warehouse and logistics buildings of approximately 55,000 - 60,000 square meters on a land area of approximately 100,000 square meters of land, of which 80,000 square meters are held via a unilateral option. The Båramo intermodal terminal is part of the European railway corridor ScandMed, established by the EU.
During the third quarter of 2023, Freyr Battery A/S announced that it was cancelling plans to establish a battery cell factory in Svenljunga. Logistea is in dialogue with other parties about potential establishment in the industrial park, which with its proximity to Borås and Gothenburg can become an attractive logistics location.

Interest in investing in properties in the warehousing, logistics and light industry segments remains high, mainly driven by structural growth factors. The total transaction volume for all segments for the first quarter amounted to just over SEK 17 billion, which is an increase of just over 15 per cent compared to the same period last year. The warehousing, logistics and light industry segment continues to attract investors and accounts for an increasing share of the total transaction market. The segment is the one with the largest volume during the quarter. The transaction volume during the first quarter amounted to approximately SEK 4.2 billion, which is an increase of approximately 34 per cent compared to the comparison period last year.
Other reasons for the strong demand for the segment are the strong rental market, driven by strong demand from tenants who, among other things, have moved production home from other countries to Sweden and the need for increased local warehousing. JLL sees broad support for investments in the segment linked to both domestic and international investors, with the majority of the quarter's transactions having an international player on either the buy or sell side.
JLL leaves the rental estimates for average rents in the prime logistics segment for the following regions unchanged compared to the previous quarter. Continued strong demand for modern logistics buildings in prime locations is helping to support rent levels. JLL sees an opportunity to adjust prime rents upwards in 2024, provided that the rental market is intact and that vacancy levels do not continue to increase too sharply. In 2023, prime rents in the segment increased by between 7-14 per cent, with the strongest increase in Jönköping.
The vacancy rate in the logistics segment has increased by 2.4 per cent from the previous quarter and 7.1 per cent year-on-year. The increase is largely attributable to major new construction projects completed by developers, where the requested rent levels are usually above JLL's rent estimates. The vacancies are largely linked to a few sub-regions. Stockholm North is the submarket with the highest vacancy rate. The vacancy rate has increased to 16.5 per cent from 3.2 per cent in Q1 2023, based on an increased supply of completed projects. In the Gothenburg/Borås region, vacancy levels fell during the quarter and now amount to 4.5 per cent.

Sustainability is an integral part of Logistea's strategic framework and goals. In 2023, work was initiated to adapt the company's sustainability work and reporting to the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). A double materiality analysis according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) was conducted and validated with the company's key stakeholders. The materiality analysis pointed out the sustainability issues that Logistea should prioritize in order to minimize risks and take advantage of opportunities, both financially and in terms of Logistea's impact on the outside world.
As a result of the analysis, Logistea's sustainability framework has been updated and new sustainability goals of both strategic and operational nature have been developed within the ESG framework. Target achievement of the new targets will be reported in the second half of 2024.

Target - Installed capacity from battery storage shall amount to at least 30 MW by the end of 2025.
Update – At the beginning of April 2024, the first batteries arrived and were installed in Vaggeryd's Logistics Park. The batteries have an output of 9 MW and are expected to be in operation and connected to Svenska Kraftnät for frequency trading by the end of the second quarter of 2024.

Target - All of Logistea's employees shall be educated in and essential suppliers shall undertake to comply with Logistea's Code of Conduct.
Update – During the quarter, Logistea updated a number of policy documents to be aligned for future reporting requirements.

Target - Annually move at least 10 per cent of the properties in the comparable portfolio to a significantly better energy class through energy projects by the end of 2025.
Update – Based on the properties' energy declarations, various energy efficiency measures were launched during the first quarter. For the properties where the tenant is responsible for the energy and heating infrastructure, there is an ongoing dialogue about action plans.
The work of digitising the property portfolio in order to be able to control, regulate and control energy use at each property is ongoing.

Target - Increase the installed capacity from solar energy by 1 MWp annually.
Update – During the quarter, Logistea's tenants were interested in implementing solar cell solutions on their properties. Inventory and control of the conditions each property has to be able to install solar cell solutions is ongoing.

The first quarter was characterised by slightly rising long-term interest rates combined with continued falling inflation approaching the target of two per cent. US inflation, on the other hand, is becoming entrenched and has even risen recently. The U.S. economy looks surprisingly strong, which increases uncertainty about when the Fed will implement its first interest rate cut. In Europe, however, most indications are that the ECB and the Riksbank will cut interest rates in the coming months. There are then divided opinions between the market's beliefs and the central banks' own forecasts regarding the rate of cuts.
The bond market for the real estate sector has continued to surprise on the positive side. A number of issues have been carried out at relatively attractive levels compared to comparable issues in 2023. Interest among investors has also been strong as the issues have been oversubscribed, in some cases several times.
Logistea has primarily used bank financing and to some extent the capital market to finance investments such as acquisitions, new construction and refinement of the existing portfolio in the form of primarily tenant adaptations but also energy efficiency measures. Of the total interest-bearing debt, bank financing accounted for 94 per cent (79), bond loans for 3 per cent (19) and promissory notes for 3 per cent (2). At the end of the period, Logistea had outstanding bonds, which the company does not own, corresponding to SEK 75 million. The interest rate on the bond loan is variable and has a margin of 5.15 per cent, a tenor of 3 years and matures in October 2024.
Logistea's interest-bearing net debt, interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, amounted to SEK 2,646 million (2,449) on the balance sheet date, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 44.1 per cent (45.5) of the market value of the properties. The interest coverage ratio multiple was 2.0 (1.9). Of the interest-bearing gross debt, secured bank financing accounted for SEK 2,774 million (2,333), SEK 75 million (75) consisted of unsecured bonds and SEK 95 million (75) consisted of promissory notes. The secured loan-to-value ratio at the end of the period was 41.4 per cent (42.8). Of the interestbearing liabilities, SEK 2,355 million (1,453) consisted of non-current liabilities and SEK 581 million (1,025) of current liabilities.
The average tied-up interest and capital tied up was 2.4 years (2.8) and 2.5 years (1.9) respectively at the end of the period. The average interest rate on the balance sheet date was 5.0 per cent (4.7), including the effect of interest rate derivatives.



On the balance sheet date, the nominal amount of the company's derivatives amounted to SEK 2,081 million with an average interest rate of 2.5 per cent. The Company owned interest rate swaps with a nominal amount of SEK 1,161 million with an average interest rate of 2.6 per cent, performance swaps with a total nominal amount of SEK 900 million, where the barrier in performance swaps with a nominal amount of SEK 800 million amounts to 4.50 per cent and a nominal amount of SEK 100 million has a barrier of 4.25 per cent. The average interest rate, the fixed interest rate, for the performance swaps was 2.36 per cent, which is paid as long as the floating interest rate (Stibor 3-months) is below the respective barrier level. Furthermore, Logistea held an interest rate cap with a nominal amount of SEK 20 million with an interest rate cap of 1.5 per cent.
Net borrowing during the period amounted to a total of SEK 460 million (61). During the period, the Group raised SEK 483 million (160) in new loans and amortised or repurchased interest-bearing debt of SEK 23 million (99). At the end of the period, Logistea had cash and cash equivalents amounting to SEK 289 million (29).
At the end of the quarter, the nominal value of Logistea's derivative portfolio amounted to SEK 2,081 million (2,081) and consisted of derivatives maturing during the period 2024–2029. The market value of derivatives at the end of the quarter was SEK 12 million (-12). The change in market value for the quarter amounted to SEK 24 million (-6) and is partly explained by rising longer-term market interest rates.

On March 25, Logistea carried out a directed share issue of SEK 250 million before issuance costs, through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure where 18,940,000 ordinary shares of series B were issued at a subscription price of SEK 13.20 per share. The subscription price corresponded to a premium of 7.7 per cent in relation to the volume-weighted average price of Logistea's ordinary shares of class B during the ten trading days prior to the issue. The issue was carried out based on the authorization granted by the annual general meeting held on 5 May 2023 and was directed to Swedish and international institutional investors. Through the issue, the number of shares was increased by approximately 8 per cent.
Logistea has two active stock option programs for employees and key personnel. The first warrant program comprises 4,125,000 warrants entitling the holder to subscribe for approximately 4,692,000 Class B shares during the subscription period in December 2025. The second warrant program comprises 1,640,000 warrants entitling the holder to subscribe for approximately 1,815,000 Class B shares during the subscription period in June 2026. Since the average share price during the period was lower than the warrants' subscription prices, which on the balance sheet date amounted to SEK 26.1 and SEK 14.0 per share, respectively, the company does not report any dilution effect regarding the warrants.

Accounting principles and calculation methods have remained unchanged compared with the Annual Report for the previous year. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are disclosed in the notes and elsewhere in the report.

On October 22, 2021, shares in MBRS Group AB were distributed to Logistea's shareholders in a so-called Lex Asea dividend. Minor costs continue to arise for the old subsidiary and its operations, which are reported as profit from distributed operations (Note 4) and cash flow from distributed operations (Note 5).
The Group's and the Parent Company's financial receivables and liabilities are reported at amortised cost less loss provision or fair value through profit or loss. For financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost, the carrying amount is considered to be a good approximation of the fair value as the receivables and liabilities either run over a shorter period of time or, in the case of a longer period, have a short fixed interest period.
Through its operations, the Group is exposed to risks and uncertainties. A description of the Group's risks can be found on pages 59–63 and in Notes 10 and 18 in the Annual Report 2023. The Annual Report 2023 can be found at www.logistea.se.

Property valuation is based on observable input data such as current leases, market rents, actual outcomes for operating and maintenance costs, planned investments and current vacancy rates, as well as unobservable input data such as yield requirements and future vacancy levels. The calculation period has been adjusted to the remaining term of existing leases and varies between 10 and 20 years. As a rule, the calculation period is 10 years. The cash flow calculations are based on inflation assumptions made by the valuation companies. The level of annual future inflation is estimated at 2.0 per cent.
The assessment of future net operating income is based on an analysis of current leases and the current rental market. The lease agreements have been taken into account individually in the calculation. Normally, the existing leases have been assumed to be valid until the end of the leases. In cases where the lease terms have been deemed to be in line with market conditions, they have then been assumed to be possible to extend on unchanged terms or alternatively have been possible to rent out on similar terms. In cases where the outgoing rent is deemed to deviate from the current market rent, this has been adjusted to market level. The maximum and best use of the properties has been assumed in the property valuations. The cash flow statement takes into account the market situation, rent level, the tenant's estimated ability to pay, other uses and the long-term vacancy rate for each property. The long-term vacancy rate for each property is assessed based on, among other things, location, microlocation, area of use and assessed alternative use.
Investment property is recognised at fair value at level three in the fair value hierarchy with changes in value in the income statement. The Group's properties mainly consist of warehouse and logistics properties, which have a similar risk profile and valuation methodology. The average lease term for all contracts on the balance sheet date was 8.1 years (7.9).
The discount rate, the estimated yield requirement for each property plus inflation, constitutes a nominal return requirement on total capital. The starting point for the discount rate is the nominal interest rate on government bonds with a maturity of five years, with a general risk premium for real estate and an object-specific supplement. The selected yield requirement for the residual value assessment has been retrieved
based on market information from the relevant sub-market and has been adapted with regard to the property's phase of the economic life cycle at the end of the calculation period. The discount rate for calculating the present value of cash flows and residual value is in the range of 7.7 - 10.9 per cent and is based on analyses of completed transactions and on individual assessments of risk levels and the market position of each property. On 31 March 2024, the weighted discount rate for discounting cash flows and residual values was 8.6 per cent (8.4). The weighted yield requirement was 6.7 per cent (6.6), where all yield requirements were in the range of 5.7 – 8.7 per cent. This means that if Logistea's property portfolio theoretically were to be regarded as a single property, the market value of SEK 6,001 million corresponds to a yield requirement of 6.7 per cent and a discount rate of 8.6 per cent regarding cash flow and present value discounting of the residual value. The table in Note 6 shows the sensitivity of property values to changed assumptions.
The fair value of the Group's building rights is based on location price analyses from transactions in the area with similar building rights. Costs incurred for earthworks, for example, are included in the fair value.
More information about Logistea's valuations can be found in Note 10 in the Annual Report 2023.

| interest-bearing liabilities and the current interest rate level on each balance sheet date. Since the presentation is not to be equated with a forecast, but is intended to reflect a normal year, the actual outcome may differ due to decisions that affect the outcome positively or negatively in relation to normal years as well as unforeseen events. The reported earnings capacity does not include an assessment of changes in rent, vacancy or interest rates and is only intended to make visible the actual conditions on the respective balance sheet date for income and expenses given, for example, the capital structure and organisation at each balance sheet date. Other information Seasonality |
is based on leases contracted on the balance sheet date and normalised, non-recoverable property costs for the current portfolio. In addition, rental value, property costs and estimated financing costs on an annual basis are included for the ongoing projects planned to be completed in 2024 and 2025, where leases have been signed. * Excludes financing costs for remaining and unutilized credit facilities for project properties. Dividend |
|||||||
| Approximately 80 per cent of the leases in the company's property portfolio are so-called triple net agreements, which means that the tenant is responsible for the absolute majority of operating and maintenance costs. In cases where the property owner is responsible for media costs, seasonal variations in property costs can occur, where, for example, costs for electricity and heating are higher during the colder months of the year. |
The Board of Directors' objective is to annually propose to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend corresponding to at least 30 per cent of the company's profit be distributed. In the coming years, the Board of Directors intends to prioritize growth over dividends, which may result in low or no dividends to ordinary shares. The Board of Directors has decided not to propose any dividend to the upcoming Annual General Meeting in May 2024. |

A combination of a customary interest rate swap and a swaption where Logistea bought an interest rate swap and sold or issued a swaption. At the end of the term, the counterparty, the bank, has the option (not the right) to extend the interest rate swap by a predetermined number of years. The counterparty may extend the interest rate swap if the market interest rate is lower than the fixed interest rate at which the interest rate swap has been signed.
A ceiling is set for the variable interest rate in the form of a predetermined interest rate level (barrier). If the variable interest rate exceeds the barrier level, Logistea receives the interest rate above the barrier level.
A derivative contract in which two parties exchange interest flows over a set period of time. One party may exchange its variable interest rate for a fixed rate, while the other party receives a fixed interest rate in exchange for a variable interest rate. Since Logistea's debt portfolio consists of variable bank and bond loans with a fixed margin, but with a variable component in the form of 3 month Stibor, Logistea has chosen to purchase interest rate swaps in order to pay a fixed interest rate and receive the Stibor 3-month interest rate. In this way, Logistea has fixed the interest rate for part of the loans.

A combination of an interest rate swap and an interest rate cap where Logistea bought an interest rate swap and sold/issued an interest rate cap. The fixed interest rate in the interest rate swap is paid as long as the 3-month Stibor is below the respective chosen barrier level at any given interest rate setting period. Should the 3 month Stibor be at or above the respective barrier level prior to a new interest rate setting period, then the interest rate hedge for that interest period expires and Logistea pays the 3-month Stibor until the 3-month Stibor falls below the barrier level again, at which point Logistea will once again pay the fixed interest rate in the current performance swap.
Annual contract value plus estimated market rent for vacant premises.
Secured liabilities after deductions for cash and cash equivalents in relation to the fair value of the properties.
Share price on the balance sheet date.
Change in fair value excluding acquisitions, disposals and investments for the period.
