KMC Properties ASA, a real estate company focusing on industrial and logistic
properties, recorded rental income of NOK 96 million for the first quarter of
2023, up from NOK 63 million for the first quarter last year, primarily driven
by additional income from new investment properties and CPI and contract
adjustments.
"In the first quarter of 2023, KMC Properties delivered well on its key
priorities, including our top priority to refinance the company's senior secured
bond loan. We continued the work to integrate the properties recently acquired
and progressed an important project on energy labelling. In addition, we
continue to complete strategic acquisitions, adding five new properties to our
portfolio in Narvik, Denmark, and Finland" says Liv Malvik, CEO of KMC
Properties.
At the end of the first quarter 2023, the company's investment properties were
valued at NOK 5 993 million, up from NOK 4 009 million at the end of the first
quarter 2022 and from NOK 5 366 million at the end of the previous quarter. For
the period, the increase mainly relates to the acquisition of the properties
from BEWI for NOK 350 million and a property in Narvik for NOK 90 million. In
addition, greenfield and capex investments amounted to NOK 52 million and fair
value adjustments.
Going forward, KMC Properties' key priority continues to be to complete the
refinancing of the company's senior secured bond loan with maturity in December
this year. Further, the company is focusing on integrating recently acquired
properties, further developing the pipeline of M&A opportunities, and securing
progress in ongoing development projects.
