Outlook for 2017

The company expects its total revenue to reach at least EUR 12 million in 2017. The operational result is expected to be at least EUR 4.5 million. The market value of the investment properties is expected to be between EUR 225 and 245 million at the end of 2017.

Jussi Karjula, CEO:

The company's first half of the year was characterised by strong growth according to plan. Our revenue grew by 58% and the operational result increased by 64% compared to the comparison period. The fair value of our investment properties grew by 33% compared to the end of 2016 (78% compared to the comparison period), with the value being EUR 205 million at the end of June. The net asset value (NAV) per share also developed favourably and was EUR 5.14, showing growth of 47% from the comparison period.

We will continue on a growth path. On 30 June 2017, the company had a record number of 44 property projects under construction or with a building permit issued, and their procurement value is over EUR 92 million. During the beginning of the year, we invested in growth and development by recruiting key personnel, among other things.

The occupancy rate of properties owned by Hoivatilat is 100%. This high number is based on our operating model of launching property projects only after the lease agreements have been signed. The value of the agreement portfolio at the end of the review period was nearly EUR 281 million, showing growth of EUR 90 million compared to the comparison period. The average maturity of the agreement portfolio was 14.1 (14.3) years. During the spring and the summer, we signed the first 20-year lease agreements. During spring 2017, we also productised the Hoivatilat lifecycle model, in which the company may assume a more extensive responsibility for maintaining and servicing its properties. This is a tangible indication of the company's responsible ownership.

Events after the review period

The company's Board of Directors decided on 21 August 2017 to launch a school concept, in which municipalities and other operators in the school sector are offered a modern school building, constructed in accordance with the new curriculum, under the turnkey model without the need for user investment in the facilities. M.A., Petri Kauppinen, who previously worked as the municipal manager of Sotkamo, was appointed to head the school business operations.

On 16 August 2017, Hoivatilat and the municipality of Siilinjärvi signed a 20-year lease and maintenance agreement on an assisted living facility project, which will be completed towards the end of 2018. The municipality of Siilinjärvi announced the procurement decision on 28 June 2017, and the agreement was included in the company's reported agreement portfolio on 30 June 2017. The value of the agreement is more than EUR 10 million (without index adjustments).

On 21 August 2017, Hoivatilat signed a lease agreement on a day care centre to be built of logs in Lahti. This project will be the first day care centre in which the company uses logs as the construction material.
