And here are Frans’s quick comments on this morning’s results. ![]()
Asuntosalkku’s H1 report was operationally roughly in line with our expectations. The company continued clearly profitable sales in Tallinn and buybacks of its own shares. However, the occupancy rate fell from the comparison period and slightly missed our expectations, even though it remained at a fairly good level. Fair values in Tallinn rose slightly, while there was a decrease in Finland. The changes roughly compensated for each other. The company reiterated its guidance for the current year, and according to our preliminary assessment, there is no significant pressure to change our forecasts. The rise in interest rates seen in the spring is again putting pressure on interest costs, but the new financing agreement negotiated by the company, on the other hand, has better terms than before.
