CEO MARKUS MYLLYMÄKI

The company’s operating profit in 2022 came to EUR 15.6 million, which includes the reduction in value of the company’s residential real estate assets arising from a change in yield requirements, which was announced during the financial year. I am pleased with our result for the year. The balance sheet valuation of the company’s real estate assets provides us a good financial starting point for the financial year 2023.

 

Toivo is a housing developer that focuses on the full value chain of residential real estate development, construction and ownership. Toivo develops, builds and owns its housing properties but can also implement one or more components of the value chain.

 

Toivo executes its business model primarily in the Helsinki metropolitan area in energy-efficient concrete apartment buildings and area development projects.

 

Toivo’s strategy and business model were put to the test by the market forces in 2022. The war in Ukraine, inflation, the general development of costs and rising interest rates have created challenges for companies that develop, build and own housing. Our business model, which we operate with an agile organisation, has given us the opportunity to react to the changes in the market.

 

In 2022, our company focused on reacting to the operating environment while still keeping our eyes on the future. During the year, we applied a more specific approach to project choices, increased our cash flow business and sought cost savings in fixed expenses and investments.

 

The disciplined execution of our business model and reacting to the operating environment have produced good results. During the period under review, the company started two pre-sold projects with a total of 122 apartments.

 

The company looks to the future with a project development portfolio of 1,707 apartments, approximately 91% of which are located in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The company will implement these projects primarily as Energy Class A buildings with geothermal heating.

 

DEVELOPMENT: The challenging market conditions open up opportunities in development in particular, but we must be very cautious with new opportunities. In 2023, the company will select projects with particular care and analysis. The company has a strong project portfolio and projects will be started when the investment parameters are favourable for the company. During the period under review, the company signed an agreement on the development and acquisition of a total of 28 hectares of land in Espoo. The land in question has significant potential with regard to municipal land use planning.

 

CONSTRUCTION: During the fourth quarter, the company started two pre-sold projects with a total of 122 apartments. Significant attention is paid to the price and location of projects to be initiated. For new project start-ups, the aim is to tender the construction costs to lower them significantly.

 

Ownership: With regard to lease activities and management, Asuntomestarit® have succeeded well. The economic occupancy rate for the fourth quarter was 97.8%. Toivo’s competitive, high-quality apartment product combined with the services of Asuntomestarit has proved its price-quality ratio in the challenging market.

 

Toivo’s business is very capital-intensive, and an optimal financial structure is vital for the company. The company’s equity ratio was 38.4% and the financial loan to value (LTV) rate of its properties was 59.3%.

 

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Toivo for their excellent and disciplined work and for the growing number of customers who choose a Toivo home.
