Summary
The Magistral acquisition materially boosted the fund's June financial performance. Consolidated rental income reached €2.897 million, representing a €229 thousand increase from May, with the shopping centre accounting for the majority of gains. Contributing to the improvement were also new lease signings at the fund's office properties, including Pärnu mnt 102, Ulonu, and Evolution buildings. These leasing gains reflected broader momentum in the office segment, where portfolio vacancy tightened from 9.6% in May to 9.0% in June. Consolidated EBITDA expanded to €2.465 million, up €176 thousand sequentially.
Over the first half of 2026, the fund's operational trajectory remained positive. Total rental income reached €16.43 million, a 5.5% year-over-year increase, while consolidated EBITDA advanced to €13.8 million, up 7.1% on a reported basis and 5.2% on a like-for-like basis excluding the Magistral contribution. Portfolio-wide vacancy improved significantly to 2.3% at end-June from 3.2% at year-end 2025, indicating strengthening market conditions across asset classes. However, Colliers International's June revaluation identified headwinds: the fair value of the fund's investment properties declined 0.17%, resulting in a non-cash loss of €623 thousand. The decline was attributed primarily to downward rental pressure in office buildings, offsetting gains from stronger shopping centre performance.
On the liability side, consolidated interest expenses for the first six months totaled €3.17 million, down €333 thousand from the prior-year period, demonstrating improved financial management. The fund's weighted average interest rate on loans remained at 4%, providing some insulation from broader rate volatility in the Nordic credit markets.
