CONSOLIDATED KEY FINANCIALS*

CEO MARKUS MYLLYMÄKI

The company’s revenue for the first nine months of 2023 was EUR 33.6 million and its operating profit was EUR 7.8 million. This is a great achievement in the current market environment. Every Toivo employee makes me proud and grateful.

Approximately one year ago, the company began to react to the potential market change and its prolongation. Rent increases, ensuring financing, shifting to cash flow business and postponing investments are now bearing fruit. The company’s overall situation is good.

We have commenced work on the strategy and will publish the results of the updated strategy work in connection with the financial statements at the latest.

DEVELOPMENT: The company is prepared for the future and the opening up of the market with a project development portfolio of some 3,200 apartments, of which approximately 91% are located in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The company will implement these projects primarily as Energy Class A buildings with geothermal heating. The company will start these projects when the market conditions are more favourable.

CONSTRUCTION: The company did not start any new sites during July–September.

OWNERSHIP: With regard to lease activities and management, Asuntomestarit® have succeeded well. The company has commenced rent increases of 4–5% in autumn 2023. Toivo’s competitive, high-quality apartment product combined with the services of Asuntomestarit has proved its price-quality ratio in the challenging market.

Toivo’s business is very capital-intensive, and an optimal financial structure is vital for the company. The company’s financing is exclusively comprised of long-term bank financing. The company’s equity ratio was 38.9% and the financial loan to value (LTV) rate of its properties was 57.8%.

I would like to thank all customers, partners and Toivo employees for the past quarter.
