Statement by the CEO
Clearly positive net moving-in
"The Swedish real estate market has been largely untouched by the turbulence in
other countries. Problems with debt in southern Europe and the United States
have led to growth prospects being adjusted downwards in these countries as well
as in Sweden, this has also led to a sharp fall in long interest rates and
brought short interest rates to a halt. Klövern has only seen the effect of the
two interest rate changes. The demand for premises continues to be good and the
figures for net moving-in for the past quarter are really good. From July to
September, moving-in amounted to SEK 33 million, moving-out to SEK 21 million
and net moving-in to SEK 12 million. To date this year, net moving-in totals to
SEK 14 million. Moving-in is not concentrated to one city or region but can be
seen in general in Klövern's portfolio.
Klövern continues to report very good earnings in the real estate industry.
Operating surplus is at a top level at SEK 642 million during the first nine
months of the year and profit from property management is touching last year's
level despite net financial income increasing by a hundred million kronor.
Thanks to assiduous work in the organization, we have succeeded in compensating
for the major part of the decrease that occurred during the first quarter due to
the severe winter. Operating margin has amounted to 63 per cent so far this
year, which is good bearing in mind that it was only 57 per cent during the
first quarter.
Property values remained largely still during the quarter, although they have
risen by almost SEK 300 million, corresponding to 2 per cent, to date this year.
Falling long market rates have meant that the value of Klövern's derivatives has
decreased by SEK 179 million during the quarter and the value amounts to minus
SEK 192 million. Klövern has made use of the opportunity to secure favourable
financing by obtaining a fixed interest rate on loans for an additional SEK 1
billion by acquisition of interest rate swaps with a long maturity at a
historical low level", says Gustaf Hermelin, Klövern's CEO.
