The first quarter was characterised by stable revenue, higher winter-related costs and continued value growth in the property portfolio. We signed a major 12-year lease with Convendum which resulted in positive net lettings. The volume of renegotiations remained low but contributed positively to the rental value in renegotiated leases by 12 per cent. Our projects progressed according to plan.  

• Rental income amounted to SEK 707m (711). In an identical portfolio, rental income decreased by approximately 1 per cent (+6). The decrease compared to the previous period was mainly due to properties that changed to projects and also due to provisions made in connection with the pandemic.
• Net operating income amounted to SEK 506m (520). In an identical portfolio, net operating income decreased by approximately 4 per cent (+9).
• The surplus ratio was 72 per cent (73).
• Profit from property management amounted to SEK 346m (369).
• Realised and unrealised changes in value amounted to SEK 514m (1,854) in properties.
• After-tax profit for the period amounted to SEK 863m (1,574), corresponding to SEK 2.64 per share (4.78).
• Net lettings during the period totalled SEK 36m (15).
• The equity / assets ratio was 51 percent (52) and the loan-to-value ratio was 35 percent (35).

“Fabege has a strong balance sheet, a stable customer base, a good property portfolio in great locations and many development opportunities. During the quarter, we utilised our strength to repurchase almost 3 million shares. All with the ambition of creating additional shareholder value.”, says Stefan Dahlbo, CEO Fabege.
