Significant events after the end of the balance sheet date
Following the authorization to issue new shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 9 July and approval by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority to admit trading of the new shares, Logistea acquired the shares in Norwegian KMC Holdco AS on 11 July. The merger increased the number of properties by 72, located in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Belgium and Poland.
“During the first half of the year, including the merger with KMC, we have acquired properties worth close to SEK 8 billion and have come much closer on reaching our operational growth target of SEK 15 billion by the end of 2024. The merger with KMC takes the two companies to a whole new level. KMC is a company we have had at the top of our list for a merger with for several years and it is with great pleasure that we can now state that the deal has been completed.
Adjusted for transaction costs arising from the merger, we report our strongest profit from property management ever, with an increase of 20 percent compared to the previous quarter. Furthermore, our loan-to-value ratio amounts to a low 44 percent and net lettings for the quarter are positive by almost SEK 3 million” says CEO Niklas Zuckerman.
