Interim Report January-March 2024

"In the wake of the struggle against inflation, we are seeing a more hesitant rental market. However, Castellum's net leasing was positive during the quarter, income from property management increased by 13.2 per cent and net operating income by 5.3 per cent. We are prepared for a tougher rental market and have the financial muscle to offset fluctuations in the business cycle. Following the rights issue, profit generation and property sales, Castellum has repaid debt of just over SEK 16 Bn and now has a loan-to-value ratio of 38.2 per cent and available liquidity of SEK 25 Bn. This provides the company with resilience and the possibility of acting on profitable investment opportunities that we see in our own large development portfolio for many years to come," says Joacim Sjöberg, Chief Executive Officer of Castellum AB.
