Bent Oustad, CEO, says about the quarter:

"In 2022, we have seen growth in rental income in all three of our core areas, Oslo CBD, Nydalen and Fornebu. The underlying operations of the company are very good. It is particularly pleasing to see that our renegotiations are being carried out at significantly higher levels than previously. Uplift in rent has been increasing throughout the year, and thus also reflects external market reports.

We are very pleased to have secured two new bilateral bank loans in the quarter of NOK 500 million and NOK 435 million, respectively. In addition, we have extended a credit facility of NOK 600 million. Maturity on loans in 2023 is limited for us, and with good and long-term banking relationships, strong owners, a financial market that is gradually working better and good underlying operations, we are well positioned to exploit any new opportunities that may arise.”
