Bent Oustad, CEO, says about the quarter:

"Once again, we have seen a quarter with high activity in the letting of our properties, and it is pleasing that the company has signed new rental agreements in all our three core areas. Turnover in the retail areas was strong, and interest has been shown in renting all our available premises. The company’s underlying operations are good.

The external appraisers have increased the yields on our portfolio considerably, which results in a considerable write-down of the property values in the quarter. The exit yield is now weighted at 5.2% for our entire property portfolio.

We are in advanced discussions with our relationship banks regarding the refinancing of 2024 bond maturities. Meanwhile, we see an increasing number of transactions related to real estate in the Nordic bond market."
