Continued high acquisition rate and substantial financial flexibility

Our growth journey continued throughout 2024, primarily driven by a high level of activity and rate of acquisitions. During the fourth quarter, we acquired three new properties, all sale and leaseback transactions, with an underlying property value of approximately SEK 776 m. At the end of the year, we owned 110 properties with a total value of just over SEK 13 bn. Rental income increased by 25 percent and net operating income by 33 percent in the quarter in year-on-year terms. The increase in profit from property management for the quarter amounted to 49 percent, which is encouraging, especially considering that the 2023 share issues of SEK 1,100 m were primarily allocated to new construction projects, where profit from property management will not be reflected in the results until 2025.

During 2024, we continued to grow in selected and strategically important logistics areas. In total, we completed eleven acquisitions during the year, comprising approximately 180,000 square metres of lettable area with a rental value exceeding SEK 136 m. We are very pleased with the acquisitions completed in the year, which, in line with the company's strategy and overarching goals, have strengthened growth in both profit from property management and net asset value per share. We continuously evaluate potential transactions and see promising opportunities to carry out further strategic acquisitions going forward. In addition to acquisitions, added value has been generated through our project development activities, including extensions and enhancements to existing properties, as well as a large number of energy projects.

Completion of significant new construction projects

We are also pleased that our three major new construction projects have been completed on schedule and within budget. One of these, an environmentally certified building in Hallsberg on behalf of Ahlsell, is our largest project to date, with a lettable area of approximately 61,500 square metres, where occupancy commenced on 20 January 2025. Together, these projects contribute over 90,000 square metres of lettable area and an annual rental value of just over SEK 77 m. All properties are fully let with 15-year rental agreements and will make a significant contribution to revenue generation from 2025 onwards. The completion of these projects constitutes an important milestone in our growth journey and demonstrates our ability to collaborate closely with our tenants to create larger, attractive logistics properties.

Close and long-term relationships with our tenants

SLP's property management is characterized by a focus on long-term sustainability, both in terms of properties and tenant relationships. We are experiencing strong demand for smaller spaces in the range of 1,000 to 2,000 square metres, while some of our tenants continue to face a challenging market environment, particularly those operating in consumer-related e-commerce. Despite this, net letting during the quarter remained positive, amounting to SEK 3 m. This was achieved through close and active dialogue with our tenants, where we focus on creating long-term value for both parties. Our tenants must always be confident that SLP is close at hand and will understand their needs, so that tenants can focus on their core business. The long-term nature of our customer relationships is also reflected in our CSI (customer satisfaction index) score, which increased from 74 last year to 78 in this year's survey, with a maintained rental term of 6.4 years as of 31 December, in line with the previous year.

Attractive new financing through sustainability-linked loans

Our close long-term collaboration with five Nordic banks, exclusively utilizing secured bank financing, has contributed to a stable financial foundation since the company's inception. The loan-to-value ratio at the end of the year was 42.4 percent, and interest coverage ratio was a multiple of 3.2. Secured bank financing and available liquidity of approximately SEK 1,800 m provide us with substantial financial flexibility. This enables us to continue our growth journey through investments in our existing portfolio and additional value-adding acquisitions in strategically important areas.

In October, we signed our first loan agreements with sustainability-linked financing. The loan totalled SEK 2.9 bn, of which approximately SEK 900 m was not previously sustainability-linked financing. These loans have established targets linked to our efforts aimed at ensuring environmental certification of our properties and improved energy efficiency ratings. SLP's loan margins are then adjusted based on our performance in terms of meeting the established targets. We are pleased that this collaboration with the banks has allowed us to implement value-adding measures that benefit our shareholders, customers, and society as a whole. At the end of the year, our share of sustainable financing amounted to 92 percent of the total loan portfolio, of which 14 percent consisted of sustainability-linked loans and 78 percent of sustainable loans.

Our largest acquisition to date

After the end of the period, we completed two additional acquisitions, both off-market. A smaller acquisition in Trelleborg with a 10-year rental agreement, as well as our largest acquisition to date, comprising five strategically located logistics properties—four in Norrköping and one newly constructed property in Örebro. The properties feature high-quality tenants, with PostNord being the largest, and rental agreements that increase our average rental term. The agreed property value amounts to nearly SEK 1.4 bn, and the rental value of the fully CPIadjusted agreements exceeds SEK 90 m. Furthermore, we see strong potential for significant value-adding opportunities over time, which aligns perfectly with our overarching strategy.

In summary, we can conclude that we continue to generate consistent value growth through our established and successful business model. With a strong financial position, a relatively low loan-to-value ratio, and internally generated funds, we have significant acquisition opportunities within our existing capital structure. Steadily declining market interest rates, combined with strong interest from our existing banking partners, provide us with excellent conditions to continue our growth journey and create value through active management, project development, and complementary acquisitions.

Tommy Åstrand, CEO

SLP in brief

SLP shall acquire, develop and manage logistics properties with a focus on sustainability.

Overarching goal

To generate average annual growth in NAV per share of at least 15% and annual average growth in profit from property management per share of at least 15%.

Financial risk limitations

  • Minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5 x
  • Maximum long-term loan-to-value ratio of 55%
  • Minimum equity/assets ratio of 40%

SLP shall continue to grow and therefore reinvest in its operations with the aim of generating further growth through property acquisitions and investments in new construction, conversions and extensions. This means that dividends will be low or zero over the coming years.

Overarching strategy

In order to reach its overarching goals the company works with its own staff in five strategic areas: acquisitions, property development, property management, financing and sustainability.

  • Acquisitions: The company grows its property holdings by acquiring properties and building rights. The properties acquired are in strategic logistics locations and are suitable development targets.
  • Property development: Properties are developed through new construction, extensions and conversions, and by optimizing net operating income for the properties. Net operating income is optimized by letting vacant premises, renegotiating and extending rental agreements, and through increased energy efficiency. Dividend policy Growth in profit from property management per share after dilution, %
    • Property management: SLP's property management is characterized by active customer dialogue, short decision paths and a long-term view.
    • Financing: The company ensures long-term and cost-efficient financing, and an optimized debt/equity ratio.
    • Sustainability: SLP has an ambitious approach to sustainability and environmental and social responsibility. Read more about our sustainability work on the following page.

Developments on the logistics market

Geopolitical unrest shifts warehousing and production back to Sweden

Global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions are leading companies to reassess their supply chains and relocate production and warehousing closer to domestic markets in order to reduce risk and increase delivery reliability.

E-commerce and digital maturity leads to changing behaviours

Digital maturity and e-commerce growth in Sweden has changed consumer behaviour and created new challenges and opportunities for the logistics sector in terms of managing increased online retailing and expectations on quick deliveries.

Growing demand for modern refrigerator and freezer warehousing

Global trade and high consumer expectations on availability of foods are driving growing demand for modern refrigerator and freezer delivery and warehousing. This is critical for ensuring product quality and shelf life, which requires investments in new technology and infrastructure.

In order to address challenges such as crowding, environmental impact and delivery efficiency, there is growing demand for efficient logistics solutions, which makes city logistics an increasingly important area. City logistics are required to meet the need for fast, sustainable deliveries in urban environments.

Demands for more circular and sustainable distribution

The need for making supply chains more sustainable is becoming increasingly pressing. Components shortages are driving companies to build more sustainable and resilient supply chains.

SLP's sustainability work

SLP strives to ensure sustainable working methods that contribute to improving the environment and society, today and for the future. We view sustainability as an integral part of our business model and daily work. SLP's sustainability work is based on the Group's business concept, Code of Conduct and other governing documents, as well as our sustainability policy and sustainability framework with related goals. By integrating sustainability, we shall create value for our stakeholders in both the short and long term.

Our Responsibility- sustainability framework

We have chosen to call our sustainability framework Our Responsibility. It spans three focus areas – Planet, People and Business – and includes the company's key sustainability areas. Our Responsibility contains concrete goals, KPIs and activities in each focus area. The framework is based on materiality analysis and stakeholder dialogues carried out. The goals linked to identified key sustainability areas have been adopted by the company's Board.

  • Planet: The main contribution we are making to environmentally sustainable development is optimizing our properties. Lower energy consumption, a higher proportion of renewable energy, resource optimization and environmental certification of our property holdings create value both for the planet and for SLP as a company.
  • People: Looking after people, our employees and tenants alike, is critical to SLP's success. SLP shall actively strive to retain and attract skilled employees and do our utmost to create long-term relationships and environments where our tenants enjoy working.
  • Business: We shall run the operation in a sustainable way with lasting long-term profitability. Everything we do shall be characterized by good business practice. We shall focus on long-term business relationships and partnerships with our tenants and suppliers alike.

Sustainability Report This is an interim report and includes some of SLP's sustainability work and goal monitoring. The full picture of the company's sustainability work and goal attainment is published annually in the annual report. Read more about our sustainability work here, link to sustainability reporting.

Sustainability – goals and goal attainment

Sustainability goals

For each focus area within SLP's sustainability framework – Our Responsibility - Planet, People and Business, we have formulated and adopted goals. Please refer to sustainability goals and monitoring of goal attainment in the KPI table to the right.

CSRD and new statutory requirements

SLP is not subject to statutory requirements under the CSRD and ESRS directives until the financial year 2025, but is preparing the company ahead of future reporting standards. In December 2024, the double materiality analysis was completed and approved by the Board. From the financial year 2024 onwards, SLP is required to present sustainability reporting under the Annual Accounts Act.

EU Taxonomy

SLP is not covered by the 2025 taxonomy's reporting requirements until the financial year 2025, but the company always strives to be transparent in its approach to material topics for the business and the company's stakeholders. SLP reports the extent of operations encompassed by the EU taxonomy and provides guidance on the extent of operations judged to be compatible with the taxonomy.

Green transition of existing properties

Since its foundation, SLP has focused closely on optimizing and rationalizing the existing property holding.

Investing in modern and efficient equipment and actively optimizing operations contributes to reducing energy consumption and increasing net operating income. For properties owned by SLP since 2021, where we have access to complete energy data, energy use has decreased by as much as 22 percent in the comparable holding. In addition, we have worked extensively to improve our energy ratings.

Sustainable financing

During the quarter, SLP signed its first sustainabilitylinked loans with Nordea and Swedbank respectively. The total amount of sustainability-linked loans amounts to SEK 2.9 bn, of which approximately SEK 900 m was not previously classified as sustainable financing. The loans mean that the margin is dependent on the achievement of sustainability-related targets. Unlike sustainable loans, which are tied to a specific property, these loan agreements are linked to SLP's overall sustainability performance. The agreed KPIs are tied to SLP's efforts to obtain environmental certification for its properties, improve their energy efficiency ratings, and reduce the properties' climate impact. SLP's total sustainable financing thus amounts to 92 percent.

Property holdings

SLP's properties are strategically located in attractive logistics locations in Sweden. At the end of the period, the property holding encompassed 110 properties with a total lettable area of 1,149,000 square metres, including major ongoing projects.

10,400 m2 Average lettable area per property

SEK 176/m2 Difference in net operating income for investment properties and development properties

In order to present differences in the character of the property holdings according to whether the intention is to acquire, develop or manage the properties, we have divided the holdings into the following categories: property management, development, projects and building rights.

Property management

This category includes properties that are essentially fully developed and thereby generate stable cash flows.

Development

This category covers the properties characterized by their potential to create value. It may for example include substantial vacancies, rental potential or the opportunity for cost reductions.

Projects

To create attractive logistics properties, ongoing new construction projects are carried out as well as adaptations for tenants in the form of conversions and extensions.

Building rights

Acquiring properties that also have building rights and exploiting the building rights in existing holdings increase the lettable area further.

The following table presents the distribution of the property holding according to this categorization and current earnings ability as of 1 January 2025.

The summary relates to properties owned by SLP at the end of the period. Rental values relate to contractual rent plus annualized vacancies. Net operating income relates to contractual rent less normalized property costs including property administration. Rental income SEK/m2 is based on the area let in each category. The judgements and assumptions that form the basis for the information contained in this table imply uncertainties and the information should not be viewed as a forecast.

Projects

To create attractive logistics properties, SLP carries out ongoing new construction projects as well as adaptations for tenants in the form of conversions and extensions. The projects are carried out in close collaboration with our tenants.

Ongoing projects

At present, one major project is in progress relating to conversion and extension over a total area of 3,000 square metres. A major project was completed after the end of the period, with occupancy commencing in the new construction project of 61,500 square metres in Hallsberg on 20 January 2025.

During the period, occupancy commenced in two new construction projects totalling 29,000 square metres, located in Vaggeryd and Katrineholm. In addition to this, occupancy took place in 2,200 square metres in Malmö, where building rights for an existing property were used for an extension.

The table to the right presents ongoing projects with a value of over SEK 25 m.

Other projects

In addition to the projects in the table, several smaller rent-generating, cost-reducing or energy-saving projects are continuously in progress. In the period, SEK 82 m was invested in energy saving projects and SEK 266 m in other projects. The other projects primarily involve extensions to existing properties, including Timglaset 2 and Förtennaren 5 and 12.

Climate-neutral new construction of 18,000 square metres in Vaggeryd completed

In 2023, SLP acquired and took possession of the property Stödstorp 2:22, with a total area of 46,000 square metres, to construct a logistics building with a lettable area of just over 18,000 square metres. At the same time, an international triple-net lease agreement was signed with the logistics company Dachser, covering the entire lettable area and running for 15 years. After a year of construction, occupancy commenced in November 2024, as planned. Solar panels have been installed, and the building has been environmentally certified according to Green Building Council Silver level and NollCO2 standards, marking the completion of SLP's second climate-neutral project. The new facility is Dachser's largest in the Nordics and will serve as a hub for their Nordic third-party logistics (TPL) operations.

We are very proud to have completed this project in collaboration with Dachser, a prominent international operator in the logistics industry. Meeting their high standards for a sustainable and state-of-the-art logistics facility has been both exciting and challenging. That we have also stayed on schedule and certified the building according to both Green Building Council Silver level and NollCO2 is a testament to our commitment and ambition," commented Filip Persson, Project Manager at SLP.

Information about projects in the report is based on estimates regarding size and scope, and expected completion dates. Furthermore, the information is based on estimates relating to future project costs and rental values. The judgements and assumptions should not be viewed as a forecast and they imply uncertainties in terms of project completion, structure and scale, time plan, project costs and future rental value and net operating income. Information about ongoing construction and planned projects is evaluated regularly, and judgements and assumptions are adjusted in line with ongoing construction projects being completed or started, and changing conditions generally.

*As the improvement in net operating income for the project relates both to higher rental values and lower operating costs, total net operating income for the project has been indicated.

Transactions

Acquisitions of development properties are a central part of SLP's growth strategy. Eleven transactions took place in the period.

Acquisitions

SLP took ownership of twelve acquired properties in the period, which increased the lettable area by 180,000 square metres and the rental value by SEK 136 m.

In November 2023, SLP announced that the company had signed an agreement relating to a new construction project of 11,000 square metres in Katrineholm, and signed a 15-year rental agreement with Seafrigo, relating to the entire area. The transaction was conditional on local municipality approval of the planning application and land acquisition, which was obtained in the first quarter 2024.

During March, SLP took ownership of its 100th property through its first acquisition in Gothenburg. The property Backa 29:14 has total floor area of 20,700 square metres and lettable area of 6,700 square metres, which includes the opportunity for further construction. The new rental agreement, which is fully indexed, has a 6.5-year term with annual rental values of SEK 8.2 m.

In April, SLP acquired building rights in Jönköping over a land area of 38,500 square metres. The property has a completed zoning plan permitting utilization of approximately 60 percent of the land, which allows for new construction of around 23,000 square metres.

In May, SLP acquired a fully let logistics property with a rental term of 9 years in Eskilstuna. The annual rent, which is fully indexed, amounts to SEK 8.9 m. A further logistics property with development potential was also acquired in Eskilstuna. The property, which includes building rights, covers approximately 59,000 square metres. The entire premises of 27,000 square metres are currently let under a fully index-linked rental agreement with annual rent of SEK 17.3 m.

In June, SLP acquired a newly built logistics property with associated building rights in Ulricehamn, as well as a logistics property in Linköping. Both properties are fully let under index-linked rental agreements, with annual rent of SEK 17 m and SEK 8.3 m respectively.

In September, the company acquired two fully let logistics properties with considerable development potential in Örebro and Lidköping.

The total annual rent amounts to approximately SEK 8.5 m and the property in Lidköping has a total area of 71,300 square metres with lettable area of approximately 16,000 square metres. The rental agreement runs until September 2029. The property in Örebro has a total area of 22,300 square metres with lettable area of approximately 4,700 square metres. The rental agreement runs until February 2033. In November, a logistics property in Jönköping was acquired through a sale and leaseback transaction with a term of 15 years and an annual rental value of SEK 19.2 m. The property has a total area of 71,000 square metres with lettable area of approximately 31,000 square metres.

In December SLP took ownership of two properties with a total lettable area of approximately 38,000 square metres in another sale and leaseback transaction with PostNord. The rental agreements spans 7 years with an annual rental value of approximately SEK 33 m.

Tenants

SLP's portfolio of contracts is long term and the properties are developed and managed in close collaboration with the tenants. The tenants operate in a variety of industries, which is deemed to reduce the risk of vacancies and rental losses.

Rental agreement structure

The company aims to ensure long and evenly spaced tenancy periods in order to minimize risk. At the end of the period, the remaining tenancy period was 6.4 years (6.4). Contracts representing 41% of the contractual annual rent expire after 2030.

Contractual annual rent was divided between 346 contracts (315) at the end of the period.

The tenants operate in a variety of industries, the largest being transport and logistics, and food retail.

Rental value

The rental value of SLP's rental agreements, i.e. the contractual annual rent plus estimated market rent for vacant premises, amounted to SEK 850 m (689) at the end of the period. This corresponds to a rental value of SEK 784/m2 (780).

Contractual annual rent of SEK 820 m was impacted by rental discounts of SEK 17 m annually. Rental discounts are usually offered at the start of the rental period and progressively phased out. Some of our tenants are facing a challenging market climate, and we maintain close dialogue and collaboration in order to generate long-term value for both parties.

100% of the contractual annual rent is indexed through rental agreements linked to the CPI or has fixed increases, see the table Agreement structure – indexation.

Letting ratio

At the end of the period, the financial letting ratio was 96.5% (94.6).

10 largest tenants

The 10 largest rental agreements at the end of the period accounted for 29% of the contractual annual rent and had an average remaining tenancy period of 8.1 years.

Net rental income

Net rental income amounted to SEK 26.1 m (76.3) in the period, of which SEK 15.6 m related to new construction projects in Katrineholm.

Current earnings ability

The table reflects the company's earnings ability on a 12-month basis as of 1 January 2025 based on properties where SLP had taken ownership as of the Balance Sheet date. Because this summary does not represent a forecast, and aims to reflect a normal year, actual outcomes may vary due to decisions and unexpected events.

Earnings ability does not include estimated changes in rental, vacancy or interest rates. Neither does the earnings ability presented take into account value changes, changes to the property holdings or derivatives.

Net operating income is based on contractual annual rent as of 1 January 2025 and property costs based on a normal year for the current holdings excluding major ongoing projects. Rental income is impacted by rental discounts of SEK 17 m annually. Rent discounts are typically offered for an initial part of the rental period and are gradually phased out.

Financial income is based on the company's cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet date at the applicable deposit rate.

Financial expenses are based on the company's interest rate at the end of the period including interest rate derivatives for interest-bearing liabilities on the balance sheet date, adjusted for borrowing attributable to major ongoing projects. From time to time, financing is temporarily more expensive in connection with acquisitions and new construction, this has been normalized in the calculation of net financial items.

Tax has been calculated at a standard rate on the basis of the applicable tax rate at each point in time.

Occupancy commenced in a new construction project after 1 January 2025, with an annual rent of SEK 48 m, and where net operating income and financial costs have not been included in the earnings ability.

Rental income

Rental income amounted to SEK 710 m (585). The increase compared to the previous year primarily related to a larger property holding as a result of a high rate of acquisitions, lettings, occupancy of new construction and CPI adjustments.

The financial letting ratio was 96.5% (94.6).

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK -93 m (-92). The year-on-year increase in property costs was due to the larger property holding as a result of a high acquisition rate. This was partly offset by reduced costs in the existing holding due to completed energy projects and lower media costs.

Property costs include operating, utilities, and maintenance costs, and property tax and insurance.

Most of the costs associated with utilities and property tax are invoiced to tenants.

Property administration

Property administration amounted to SEK -6 m (-6) and relates to staff costs for property management and letting.

Net operating income

Net operating income for the period amounted to SEK 610 m (487). For comparable holdings, net operating income increased by 9% on the previous year. The significant increase is related to CPI adjustments of rents and ongoing value-adding projects in the properties, including investments in energy-saving measures and the installation of solar panels.

Central administration costs

Central administration costs amounted to SEK -25 m (-24). Central administration costs include personnel costs, group-wide costs, marketing costs and legal fees in relation to acquisitions.

Net financial income/expense

Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -184 m (- 158). The higher year-on-year financial expenses primarily related to new borrowing as a result of the increased property holding.

The interest coverage ratio was 3.2 (2.9), compared to the financial risk threshold of a minimum multiple of 2.5. Ground rent for the period amounted to SEK -3m (-3).

Profit from property management

Profit from property management for the period amounted to SEK 398 m (303).

Value change in investment properties

All properties were subject to an external valuation by Newsec at the end of the period.

The value change in the properties amounted to SEK 361 m (236) and related entirely to unrealized value changes.

Unrealized value changes were positively affected during the period by new lettings and new construction projects, deductions for deferred tax in connection with acquisitions and energy projects. Unrealized value changes were negatively affected by an adjusted inflation assumption of 1.0 percent for 2026, compared to an assumption of 2.0 percent at the start of 2024. The longterm assumption from 2027 onwards is 2.0 percent. 100% of the company's rents are indexed.

The average direct return requirement in the valuations totalled 5.9% (5.9), unchanged since June 2023.

Value change in derivatives

Unrealized value changes in derivatives amounted to SEK -1 m (- 118). The negative change is linked to lower market interest rates for interest rate derivatives.

Tax

The tax cost for the period amounted to SEK -172 m (-112) and was primarily due to deferred tax on unrealized value changes on investment properties, tax depreciation, derivatives, untaxed reserves, carry-forwards of tax losses and current tax of approximately SEK 9 m.

Profit for the period

Profit for the period amounted to SEK 587 m (308), corresponding to earnings per share after dilution of SEK 2.48 (1.55).

Comments on the statement of financial position

Investment properties

At the end of the period, the property holding encompassed 110 properties with a total lettable area of 1,149,000 square metres, including major ongoing projects.

The carrying amount for all properties amounted to SEK 13,489 m (10,114) at the end of the period, including SEK 874 m (399) relating to major ongoing projects and SEK 190 m (113) relating to building rights. In the period, SLP acquired a building right in Jönköping with the potential for new construction of approximately 23,000 square metres. Other building rights are available in existing properties. 100% of the building rights have zoning plans in place and these are expected to generate construction of approximately 225,000 square meters of lettable area. The estimated investment for this totals approximately SEK 2,500 m.

Valuation method and completion

The properties are recognized at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 Level 3. The company's policy is that all of the property holdings are valued externally on a quarterly basis. The main method used in the valuation is cash flow calculations, which determine the present value of net operating income, investments and residual value. The calculation period is adjusted for the remaining term of the existing rental agreements, and varies between 5 and 25 years. Of the company's rents, 100 percent are index-linked and inflation is assumed at 1.0 percent for rental income in 2026 and 2.0 percent from 2027 and onwards.

All properties were subject to an external valuation by Newsec at the end of the period. The average direct return requirement in the valuations was 5.9%, which remains unchanged compared to the start of the year.

Ongoing projects are valued according to the same principle as for investment properties, but with a deduction for the remaining investment. Unrealized value changes are added depending on the phase the project is in and the estimated remaining risk.

Transactions

During the period, SLP carried out eleven acquisitions. Twelve properties were acquired with a total lettable area of approximately 180,000 square metres. Read more about acquisitions carried out in the Transactions section.

New construction, conversions and extensions

During the period, a total of SEK 1,308 m (465) was invested in existing property holdings, in new construction, conversions and extensions, energy investments as well as other investments. Other investments mainly relate to minor conversions and extensions.

Leasing agreements, right of use

Parts of the property holding include right-of-use agreements that generate right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. In the period, the company has taken ownership of a site leasehold as a result of the acquisition of Backa 29:14 in Gothenburg.

Financing

Equity

Group equity amounted to SEK 6,885 m (5,170), corresponding to an equity/assets ratio of 49.7% (47.2) compared to the risk threshold minimum of 40%. Equity has been positively affected by profit for the period of SEK 587 m.

In the third quarter, the company conducted another directed new share issue of 31.4 million Class B shares at a subscription price of SEK 35, which contributed SEK 1,100 m to the company before issue expenses. In connection with an acquisition in the period, payment was made using internally-generated funds plus a partial payment in the form of shares. A new share issue of 1,000,000 Class B shares was completed at a share price of SEK 36.20 per share, corresponding to a value of SEK 36.2 m. The acquired property was measured at fair value with a positive value change, implying an additional increase in equity of SEK 6 m.

Interest-bearing liabilities

The Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 5,868 m (4,897), corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 42.4% (41.7) compared to the long-term risk threshold of a maximum of 55%. Net debt/forward looking EBITDA was a multiple of 8.4 (8.0). All liabilities are comprised of secured bank financing with Nordic banks.

The change in interest-bearing liabilities is linked to the financing of acquisitions and increased credit in connection with the refinancing of existing liabilities. At the end of the period, the average interest rate including interest rate derivatives was 3.8% (4.1). and the average credit margin was 1.46% (1.53).

The average fixed interest period was 2.7 years (2.3) and the average period of capital tied up was 1.8 years (1.7). The target average period for capital tied up is around two years in order to optimize capital costs and refinancing opportunities. In September, loans totalling approximately SEK 1,400 m were refinanced ahead of time, which increased capital tied up by approximately eight months and reduced the margin.

The portfolio of interest rate derivatives comprises swaption agreements totalling SEK 725 m starting in 2026-2028 with an average term of 4.2 years and an average contractual interest rate of 2.7 percent, which have not been taken into account in the fixed interest period. The proportion of loans with interest rate hedging via derivatives was 76%.

The existing loan portfolio has been renegotiated to sustainable secured bank loans, which means that the proportion of sustainable loans was 78 percent at the end of the period and 92 percent including sustainabilitylinked loans. The financing agreements are based on those parts of SLP's property portfolio that are environmentally certified according to certain standards, or have low energy use. The sustainable bank loans contain a margin discount of 5-10 basis points per annum compared to existing loans.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 153 m (677) at the end of the period. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the company has access to available funds in the form of unutilized acquisition credits totalling SEK 200 m, an unutilized overdraft facility of SEK 100 m and approved secured property credits of SEK 1,371 m.

Other information

Employees

The company had 15 employees at the end of the period. The company has its own staff in acquisitions, property management, projects, letting, sustainability, financing and finance. Property caretakers and technicians are hired locally by partners close to where our properties are located to ensure all tenants have the best possible service.

Transactions with closely related parties

The Parent Company provided property administration services to subsidiaries with a total value of SEK 25 m.

All transactions with related parties have been priced on market terms.

Risks and uncertainties

The Group's operations, financial position and profit can be positively and negatively affected by risks and external factors. The estimated risks are mapped, evaluated and managed on an ongoing basis. For more information about risks and uncertainties, see the 2023 Annual Report.

The ongoing war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East are having a negative impact on the global economy. We cannot see that any of our tenants' operations have any direct exposure to these markets. However, the operations, depending on which industry they operate in, are impacted indirectly due to inflation, disruptions to supply chains and price rises on the commodity market. Furthermore, we have not noted any significant direct impact on SLP's operations in terms of cost increases, project delays or increased credit margins. However, the proportion of SLP's loans with no interest hedging via derivatives is impacted by the increased 3-month STIBOR interest rate. In the current circumstances, we assess the total impact as low.
