Siminn has chosen to gradually increase the weight of indebtedness in the balance sheet in recent quarters. The current interest rate slows down efforts to increase Siminn's leverage, but it is still extremely modest

  • It is not excluded that further steps will be taken in market financing in the coming seasons

The capacity for external growth is significant as equity is over 50% and undrawn credit lines are 5 b.kr.
