COVID-19

▪ Norway went into a partial lockdown on 12 March 2020

  • Self Storage Group adapted to the pandemic by:
    • Implementing measures to safeguard customers and employees
    • Keeping self-storage facilities open as usual for both existing and new customers
    • Using our self-serviced and digitalised offering that by nature is a safe and flexible solution for our customers
    • Updating the risk evaluation in the interim report for Q3 2020
  • The Group experienced limited business impact due to Covid-19 as of 2020. The move-in rates in the CSS segment were slightly lower for a period of time after mid-March impacting occupancy growth, and more extensive entry-offer campaigns were implemented to attract customers. We have seen a strong development in move-ins since June, and development in occupancy has been satisfactory in the quarter.
