That EUR 4 million is a nice sum compared to Luotea’s market capitalization of about EUR 100 million. Of course, due to the complaints, its receipt and amount will only be confirmed sometime in the future. Luotea’s balance sheet or our forecasts did not include expectations for or against compensation in this matter, so this is a plus if it materializes.

And of course, with the decision, the biggest risk that Luotea would have to pay 140 million kronor in compensation is removed. As an outsider, however, it is difficult to assess the grounds for the counterclaims.

Here’s Rauli’s comments on how Luotea received a favorable judgment from the Solna District Court, ordering Micasa Fastigheter to pay the company approximately 4 million euros :slight_smile:

Luotea announced on Friday that the Solna District Court had issued a favorable judgment to the company in a dispute concerning the company’s Swedish subsidiary and its former client, Micasa Fastigheter. The District Court ordered Micasa to pay Luotea approximately EUR 4 million in total. We consider the news positive for Luotea, as, if realized, the judgment means a one-time cash flow that is significant relative to the company’s market capitalization of approximately EUR 100 million. The judgment is not yet legally binding, and we assume it will be appealed to the Court of Appeal, so the final decision and the timing of the cash flow are still uncertain.

Here is Rauli’s preview as Luotea reports its Q1 results on Wednesday, May 6. :slight_smile:

We expect the company’s revenue to have grown moderately and the adjusted result to have improved clearly from the comparison period. According to our estimates, the earnings level is boosted especially by the reduced losses in Swedish operations and the lower group administration costs of the independent company. We expect the company to reiterate its guidance for an improvement in full-year adj. EBITA.

CEO ANTTI NIITYNPÄÄ:

In Finland, the property services market continued to be characterized by intense price competition, ongoing customer savings programs, delays in investment decisions, and general economic uncertainty. In Sweden, the economic operating environment and the real estate market developed more positively, which was also reflected in the momentum of Luotea’s business.

Here is a new company report on Luotea from Rauli. :slight_smile:

Luotea’s Q1 result was a clear disappointment as profitability in Finland declined, while Sweden continued its turnaround. We lowered our forecasts for this year significantly, but we still believe Luotea’s earnings are on a clear upward trend driven by the Swedish turnaround. Earnings multiples for this year (e.g., EV/EBIT 9x) are relatively neutral, but good cash flow and earnings growth support the expected return. We reiterate our Accumulate rating but lower our target price to EUR 2.5 (prev. EUR 2.6).

I was looking at the shareholder lists for Luotea and Lassila & Tikanoja yesterday evening, a few observations. Proprius appears to have exited Luotea entirely but continues as a shareholder in L&T. Oldenburg’s Phoebus has also significantly reduced its holding in Luotea while increasing it in L&T. The most interesting point is that Luotea’s nominee-registered ownership has risen to 17.36%, whereas L&T has remained roughly unchanged at 11.93%. My own completely speculative hunch suggests that some foreign entity might potentially see M&A opportunities here :slightly_smiling_face:.
