It feels gratifying to be able to present an interim report for Logistea after the merger with KMC Properties. The company has a stable financial position with long leases and falling financing costs. Logistea is well equipped for continued growth. The revenue for the period amounts to SEK 465 million (278), the operating net to SEK 385 million (210) and the management result, adjusted for transaction costs from the merger, has increased by 106 percent to SEK 169 million (82). The management profit per share amounts to SEK 0.5 (0.5) and the net asset value per share amounts to SEK 15.0 (13.2).After the merger, we have reached a critical mass with a property portfolio of SEK 13.1 billion and a reassuring loan-to-value ratio of 48.4 percent. However, we are not satisfied there and will continue to grow within our segment, says CEO Niklas Zuckerman
