CEO MARKUS MYLLYMÄKI

The company’s revenue for the first half of 2023 was EUR 19.7 million and its operating profit was EUR 5.65 million. I am satisfied with the operations of the company and its great personnel and their ability to react in the exceptional market environment.

Approximately one year ago, in 2022, 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.

Every market situation also provides opportunities. During spring 2023, we commenced negotiations on four exceptional situations of properties. We are now establishing a Special situations of properties unit that aims to help the investors and owners of properties to overcome any problematic situations.

Toivo is a housing developer that focuses on the full value chain of residential real estate development, construction and ownership. Toivo develops, builds and owns its housing properties but can also implement one or more components of the value chain. The business model has enabled rent increases, shifting to cash flow business and assistance with special situations of properties.

DEVELOPMENT: In addition to reacting to the operating environment, conducting cash flow business and managing special situations of properties, the company has its eyes firmly on the future. The company is prepared for the future with a project development portfolio of some 3,300 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 started up four new projects with a total of 76 apartments during the review period. One of the projects is a project management contracting project and three are owner-occupied housing projects to be sold.

OWNERSHIP: With regard to lease activities and management, Asuntomestarit® have succeeded well. The economic occupancy rate for the review period was 97.8% in spite of the company implementing rent increases of approximately 4.5% at the turn of the year 2022–2023. The company will commence 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 bank financing with mainly a duration of approximately 5–10 years. The repayment schedules of bank financing are mainly 15–25 years. The company’s equity ratio was 39.3% and the financial loan to value (LTV) rate of its properties was 57.3%.

I would like to thank everyone at Toivo for their disciplined and determined work in the challenging market situation. I would also like to thank the increasing number of tenants, residential building customers and home-buyers for choosing Toivo as their partner. We can look into the future and the opportunities is offers with confidence.
