Continued improvements on the rental and property markets and stable earnings
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Rental income for the period January - June 2010 amounted to SEKm 1,367
(SEKm 1,346 corresponding period previous year).
* Income from property management amounted to SEKm 537 (557), equivalent to
SEK 3.27 (3.40) per share, a decrease of 4%.
* The changes in value on properties amounted to SEKm 366 (-814) and on
interest rate derivatives to SEKm -89 (68).
* Net income after tax for the period amounted to SEKm 603 (-133), equivalent
to SEK 3.68 (-0.81) per share.
* The investments amounted to SEKm 456 (566) of which SEKm 373 (566) were new
constructions, extensions and reconstructions.
Income from property management for the period, i.e. net income excluding
changes in value and tax, amounted to SEKm 537 (557), equivalent to SEK 3.27
(3.40) per share. The decrease amounted to 4% and is above all an effect of
higher costs for snow removal and heating during the first quarter. The income
from property management during the second quarter isolated improved by 3%. The
improved demand and the increasing transaction volume resulted in slightly lower
required yields. Castellum has therefore made an upward adjustment of the
property values with approx. SEKm 360, corresponding to approx 1%.
The net leasing during the period amounted to SEKm 11 (-27). Investments during
the period amounted to SEKm 456 (566), of which SEKm 83 (0), were acquisitions
and SEKm 373 (566) new construction, extensions and reconstruction.
"Both the rental market and the property market follow the development in the
Swedish economy. The demand for premises is still on good levels while notices
of termination and bankruptcies gradually decrease. The property market shows
signs of recover, with slightly increasing property prices as a result" comments
CEO Håkan Hellström.
