Year-end report 2022

John Mattson is well equipped for the future thanks to proactive ownership

Income from property management per share increased 38% during the year. This strong growth is primarily the result of a property acquisition of SEK 7 billion that we carried out in 2021 as well as creating value within our property management. Property values posted a stable trend for the year with a change in value of approximately -1%, primarily due to raised yield requirements, though this was partially offset by value creation within our property management and project operations. NAV per share decreased 1%. Adjusted for increased yield requirements, growth in NAV per share was 11%, all else being equal.
 

“In a short time, we have adapted the company to the new market conditions. Through the sale of properties, we have taken important steps towards a lower loan-to-value ratio and strengthened preconditions for more cost-effective and value-creating property management. We have also started a comprehensive savings programme and implemented a reorganisation to increase focus on property management. We will not be starting any new base upgrade or new production projects in 2023, but are ready to do so once market conditions stabilise. By refinancing loans and actively hedging interest rates, we have extended the company’s average fixed-interest periods and loan-to-maturities. Altogether, these measures further adapt and strengthen the company in an operating environment with continued high cost pressure. However, we need to remain proactive in an uncertain environment,” says Per Nilsson, CEO of John Mattson.
