  • Impairment of goodwill related to Evolve of NOK 72 million due to uncertainty of funding and grant of capital given the given the situation of the Group.

Update on investments

Skien Brygge Associate – 25 per cent

Skien Brygge is a long-term project which involves the development of both residential and commercial properties. The development project is structured in three phases. Phase one of the project is expected in 2023. The development of phase two and three is estimated in the period from 2025 to 2033.

Recreate ASA owns 25 per cent of Skien Brygge Utvikling AS which currently involves phase one of the project. The Group has also signed a letter of intent for phase two and three of the project with the same ownership as phase one. In March 2023, Recreate entered into an agreement with XG Eiendom AS regarding the establishment of a joint venture (RCR Skien) that shall own the Group's properties Arkaden, Nedre Hjellegate 11, Henrik Ibsens gate 6 and the Group's shares in Skien Brygge Utvikling. Xania will also contribute with a commercial property in in the joint venture.

Outlook

Recreate outlook

Recreate is experiencing a tough financial situation, with stressed liquidity and uncertain short-term debt refinancing.

Financial creditors have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend maturities to mid October 2023 on certain agreed terms.

Recreate has an ongoing restructuring effort, a process that is gaining positive momentum. Recent sale of properties combined with the agreement to establish a joint venture, covering the majority of the Company's investments in Skien, are key pieces of the puzzle towards a solution.

The Group has redefined the strategy, with a renewed focus on property development - a historical core quality of Recreate.

We are continuously assessing potential property sales and a focus on cost reductions and optimalization of operations.

Presentation Q4 2022 2023.03.31 Development in the quarter

General market outlook

The macroeconomic outlook is uncertain with increasing inflation leading to expected higher interest rates, and recent banking turbulence questioning the stability of the financial system. Additionally, the geopolitical backdrop with the invasion of Ukraine and continued supply chain complications adds another layer of unpredictability for what is ahead.

Revised company strategy:

Value creation through letting and development

  • Invest in new contruction and rehabilitation projects that are developed for sale
  • Geographic investment area in Telemark and Vestfold
  • Structured sales of fully developed properties over the next 12-24 months
  • High compentence in sustainable property development
  • Further develop collaboration with established solid partners
  • Local team with knowledge and relationships in the geographic investment area

Revised strategy | Value creation through letting and development

Over time Recreate has operated with a strategy centered around high growth and long-term ownership of purchased and developed properties. Due to Properties changed market conditions, mainly as a result of higher interest rates and decreasing property values, the Board of directors have decided to revise existing strategy. Going forward the company will adjust focus to harmonize company strategy with Recreate's financial position and prevailing market conditions .

The company has historically created profitability in development through project identification, development, implementation and letting. Going forward this will form the core of Recreate's revised strategy – «value creation through development and letting"

Focus on new construction and rehabilitation projects with increased capital discipline

  • Recreate will be more of a property developer, than a company seeking to build a large management portfolio. Projects must be developed with defined ROI requirements and a more flexible approach to ownership combined with focus on target value optimalization and ROE to shareholders.

Healthy economic and long-term growth

  • Recreate has taken and will continue to take active ownership measures to ensure the company's foundation for long-term, healthy economic growth by making significant adjustments to the portfolio. Ongoing and new projects must have a target 15% IRR and an opportunistic approach to ownership period.

More development in cooperation with solid partners

  • Recreate will target more development in partnership that enable participation in larger – area defining projects – being less capital intensive for Recreate's shareholders. Recreate aims to be the most attractive partner in the geographical areas in which the company operates.

Geographic investment area in Telemark and Vestfold

  • Recreate will target investments in the region where we already have a leading position and optimal setting for creating added value for our shareholders

Maintain and develop internal expertise and local knowledge

  • The size of the organization has been reduced as a result of less aggressive growth ambitions. By investing in development projects, together with preferred partners, in the redefined target geographical area – Recreate seeks to be the region's preferred employer for attractive and skilled employees.

Forward-looking and future-oriented property development

  • Recreate will continue to utilize its expertise in digitization, smart use of technology and focus on sustainable, energy efficient building.

Revised strategy | Core pillars in renewed strategy

Sound financial platform

  • Increased focus on efficient allocation of capital over time
  • Reduce financial risk by selling value-optimized properties, reducing LTV over time and establishing a sensible liquidity buffer adapted to the size of the development portfolio
  • Establish a predictable cash flow from service sales and – to a greater extent – adapt the current cost base to the size of the company's property and development portfolio
  • Maintain target of 15% ROE

Focused property strategy

  • Recreate will focus on new construction, rehabilitation and development projects with value optimization potential
  • The company will actively work to have a continuously well-diversified portfolio of projects in various stages of development – adapted to the company's financial and organizational capacity
  • Sustainable property development is a core pillar for all Recreate projects, with a set goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 – and be a driving force for climate-efficient property development

Target geographic focus

  • Recreate's geographical investment area will be the Telemark and Vestfold region where the company has a strong established position
  • Recreate has been active in this region since 2010 and has established itself as a leading property developer with local knowledge – a key factor for successful property development and letting
  • Recreate has historically achieved the best results with property development projects including housing, office and retail. Going forward Recreate will continue to develop attractive projects across segments

Cooperation and partnership

  • In developing property projects, Recreate has historically worked with several different partners. Recreate will continue to cooperate with established partners and at the same time seek additional partnerships
  • Recreate's goal is to have the regions best project department within early phase development and project implementation
  • Letting is at the core of our value creation. The company has a large corporate network and extensive experience in Telemark and Vestfold region

Revised strategy | Completed projects

*Project development gain based on external valuation at project completion
