Statement by the CEO
Record high operating surplus
"In 2011, Klövern is reporting its best ever operating surplus for the first six
months of the year. Income is higher, partly due to a larger portfolio but also
because of positive net moving-in and rising rental levels. Investments in the
sphere of energy and cost-awareness have started to have an impact and the
operating margin was a full 64 per cent in the second quarter. Profit from
property management is at the same level as last year, which is fantastic
bearing in mind the increase in financial costs due to rising market rates.
It feels good to see that rental levels are rising. Regardless of whether one
compares the whole rental stock or new leases, there is a clear trend. The
greatest difference is, of course, when comparing the development of the average
rent for new tenants. Here we see a rise of more than SEK 100 per sq.m. since 1
January. However, rent levels are also rising after renegotiation of existing
leases.
Net moving-in is again positive and totalled SEK 10 million during the second
quarter. Major new lettings include Ericsson and Proact IT in Kista and the
Municipality of Norrköping's cinema Cnema in the completely furbished property
Kopparhammaren 7 in Norrköping.
Property values continue to rise. Good letting work, rising rental levels and
falling required yields contribute to the positive development. Our unrealized
changes in value amounted to SEK 171 million, or just over one per cent during
the quarter. So far this year, the changes in value of the properties amount to
2 per cent", says Gustaf Hermelin, Klövern's CEO.
