A Message from the CEO

Dear shareholders,
The second quarter marked a clear turning point for Boho Group. Following an unusually challenging first quarter, characterised by exceptionally heavy rainfall along the Costa del Sol, we saw the market gradually return to normal during the spring, whilst the improvements we had implemented in our operations began to take full effect. The combination of a more efficient organisation and a stronger market created the conditions for a significantly better quarter – overall, EBITDA for the first half of the year improved by SEK 5.5 million, despite largely unchanged turnover. This is clear evidence that our strategy is delivering results.

Turnover in the second quarter increased by 2.3 per cent compared with the same period last year, whilst profit strengthened significantly. When the market becomes more selective, it is quality, not price, that creates competitive advantages – and our guest ratings once again place us at the top of our competitive segment, in both the hotel and restaurant sectors.

The hotel business continues to be the strongest driver of our growth. During the first half of the year, hotel revenue increased by around seven per cent, driven by a higher average room rate and a continued strong premium position on the Golden Mile. Within Food & Beverage, too, Boho Club is developing as a destination – during the spring, we transformed one of our restaurants into the “Bungalow 21” concept, which further enhances its appeal. The refinancing arrangement with Deutsche Bank is now having a clear impact, reducing our annual interest costs by just over SEK 6 million.

At the same time, work continues on our most important long-term value drivers – the expansion of Boho Club on the Golden Mile. Following approval from the local council, we are now in the next phase of the detailed planning process. The vision is to develop the current facility from around 40 rooms to up to 260 rooms, complemented by restaurants, a beach club, wellness facilities and commercial operations. The combination of operational excellence and long-term property development is what makes Boho Group unique.

We are now entering the most important quarter of the year – the period which historically accounts for a significant proportion of our annual results. With the market gradually strengthening following the challenging start to the year in terms of weather, and our business in a stronger position than it was a year ago, we are heading into the summer season with great optimism and high expectations.

Kind regards,

Andreas Bonnier, CEO of Boho Group
