COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Nyfosa is continuing to grow and differentiate its portfolio. With the SEK 4.9 billion acquisition finalized in July, we are adding strong and stable tenants, mainly tax-funded operations in growth locations where we already have a presence, and an increase in earnings capacity of more than    MSEK 200. This acquisition is an ideal fit for us and we are pleased to be able to realize it in the current market. Nyfosa’s focus is to build up cash flows, which means that we are also prepared to sell when the right opportunity presents itself. As we recently announced, we are negotiating the divestment of logistics properties for slightly more than SEK 2 billion to pave the way for new transactions that will strengthen cash flows. 

The quarter was marked by the corona pandemic. At the same time, we can see that the transaction market has come to life and that our valuations are stable. We have continued to work closely with our tenants, who have largely managed well in the current situation, and our own business has operated without any disruptions. There is still much uncertainty about the future but we can see tendencies of a general recovery and future business opportunities may arise that fit Nyfosa well.
