Increased rental income and improved net operating income
The financial development for the first quarter shows that we continue to gradually increase our earnings. Rental income rose by 6 percent to 160 MSEK (151) and operating net income increased by 19 percent to 117 MSEK (98). The increased net operating income was primarily driven by increased income and cost control. The property portfolio amounts to
During the first quarter, a commercial property has been completed which is fully let and adds 3.1 MSEK in annual rental value. A property portfolio with 15 properties in Ulricehamn and Borås has been acquired. The portfolio has an annual rental value of 11 MSEK, which increases Nivika's total property portfolio in Ulricehamn and Borås to 700 MSEK. Seven properties have been divested at, or just above, book value and have added
High occupancy rate
It is pleasing that the occupancy rate continues to remain at a high and stable level. Demand remains good in Nivika's markets, and the economic occupancy rate was 95 percent for commercial properties and 97 percent for residential properties at the end of the quarter. Nivika has several inquiries and is in active dialogues regarding commercial new constructions and extensions in the company's market, both from new and existing tenants. During the first quarter anew construction of a commercial property in Växjö, an inspection facility for Opus, was started.
Refinancing enables more profitable acquisitions
During the first quarter, Nivika has carried out a rights issue of approximately 500 MSEK, increased the company's financing via banks for a total of 400 MSEK, added 235 MSEK in additional long-term loan and 165 MSEK in construction loan with granted final financing. During the first quarter, the company has also repaid the outstanding bond loan of 650 MSEK, which means that Nivika's financing therefore does not include any bond loans. Through these activities, the balance sheet and the Company's financial position have been strengthened. This provides Nivika new opportunities to carry out selective complementary acquisitions and become more assertive with acquisitions in an attractive acquisition market with geographical focus on our main geographical areas of Jönköping, Värnamo, Växjö and the
In December, after the end of the period, Nivika acquired three fully let triple-net properties in three separate transactions. The average remaining lease term is approximately 10 years, and the properties have an average yield of 8.25 percent. The properties are adjacent to the existing property portfolio and belong to the Värnamo market area. With good locations, fully leased and with long contract terms the properties are typical of Nivika's property portfolio. These transactions were so-called off-market transactions, i.e. the deals were made directly between buyers and sellers without advisers or brokers. The transactions are fully in line with Nivika's strategy to continue growing with high-yield properties in selected locations.
Continued value growth
Nivika's business model consists of developing and creating value in the property portfolio through upgrading existing properties, drawing up zooning plans to create building rights, project development in attractive locations and through strategic acquisitions. This, in combination with a diversified property portfolio and long-term management, gives us a solid foundation to stand on and strong cash flows. With expanded and stable financing, we now have good opportunities to carry out acquisitions and further strengthen the company's market position as well as create continued value growth.
