Interim report January - March 2023

John Mattson’s proactive ownership delivers results

Net operating income was SEK 101.1 million (93.2), up 8.5%. Income from property management amounted to SEK 29.4 million, down 30% year-on-year as a result of higher interest expenses. However, quarter-on-quarter, income from property management increased SEK 15 million. And the interest coverage ratio improved from 1.3 for the previous quarter to 1.5 for the first quarter of the year.

The value change for the period amounted to a decline of 3.5% primarily as a result of rising yield requirements, which were partially offset by value creation within the company’s property management and project operations. As a result of the negative value trend, growth declined 13% in NAV per share.

“It is clear that our cost-savings programme has had the desired effect. Despite high underlying cost pressure from high inflation and rising interest rates, as well as a smaller property portfolio due to property sales, John Mattson reported strong earnings. Net operating income increased 8.5% and, year-on-year, EBITDA increased a full 17%. We have reduced our exposure to rising market interest rates by fixing the majority of our loans for periods of three years and have contracted a sustainability-linked loan that allows a lower interest rate. It is very gratifying that we are delivering according to our plan. However, market conditions are still challenging and we need to remain dynamic and to act proactively,” says Per Nilsson, CEO of John Mattson.
