"Despite a tough economic climate, we are proud to have delivered an increase in occupancy rate to 94 percent, as well as increased rental income and net operating income by 20 percent and 21 percent, respectively. In addition, renegotiations have led to an increase in rental value of 17 percent for these rental agreements, even though we already made extensive rent increases related to inflation at the beginning of the year.
We have also had strong progress in our project development business, where we have completed three projects of in total approximately 12,000 square meters and thanks to a good pace in the project leasing activity, additional new project constructions have started.
The current ongoing projects are expected to provide a relevant addition to the net operating income of approximately SEK 70 million, depending on pace of leasing and completion.
During the quarter, we continued to carry out financial risk-reducing measures by repurchasing SEK 288 million of our outstanding hybrid bonds. This means that we are continuing 2023 with a decreased cost of capital and maintained strong liquidity."
