COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Nyfosa stands steady. We can report a strong first quarter with higher earnings, healthy liquidity and accessed properties for SEK 4.7 billion. We have good fundamental conditions in the prevailing situation with the ongoing corona pandemic, given the breadth of Nyfosa’s tenants in many different industries, but uncertainty is immense. We expect a negative impact in the immediate future. At the current time, it is impossible to assess the extent of this or how long it will last. We are doing what we can – preparing for various scenarios in close contact with our tenants and continuously monitoring the impact on financing and transactions. We are ready and well equipped to resume business when the time comes.
