Cibus Nordic Real Estate AB (publ)

Well, good morning everybody. And welcome to the CBIS Nordic Real Estate Quarter One, 2024 presentation. And as we just heard with a lovely robot voice there, I am Christian Fredrickson and I'm CEO of the company. And I'm joined here by our group, CFOP, Elena Olofsson. So let's get cracking on the presentation. To summarize the period, it's been a solid start to the year. We have a stable cash flows in our underlying businesses. We're of course in the daily goods business, which in itself is a very stable underlying business. People are still buying food and groceries. The main points for the quarter is we'd be very busy on the bond markets, taking proactive measures and extending our maturity profile and lowering our margins on bonds. But I'll get back to that in a separate slide shortly. Our rental income is up 3% driven by indexation through our 99% index link lease structure. Our net operating income is up 2%. We have a high surplus ratio of about 92%, but there's some seasonality in our property costs. Profit and property management up 4%. And when it comes to unrealized changes in value, we have a positive 4 million euro change on our derivatives as interest rates have increased during the quarter. And we have a negative 22 million unrealized property value change generated from a general change of yield requirements and one specific property in Finland where we had an unrealized value change. Next slide, thank you. We just had the AGM last week and the AGM resolved the dividend of 0.9 euros per share in monthly payments. And then the next slide. This slide may not look much, but this is actually one of my favorites. I think it says exactly as I said on the last quarter, it says exactly what we do, converting food into yield. And even adding to that, even sebus, even the word means food or nourishment in Latin. So this is what we're all about, daily goods and the grocery. And then looking at us, not much has changed since the last quarter. We still convert food into yield. We focus purely on daily goods properties. We aim to create stable cash flows out of these properties. We've been listed since 2018 and 2021 on the mid cap and we have a market cap of around 8 billion Swedish kronor. And if you're interested and if you like daily goods and want to invest in it, it's good to know that we are the only sole listed daily goods real estate vehicle in the Nordics for that kind of exposure. We've grown from Finland into a pan Nordic grocery player and we pay monthly dividends to our shareholders. And then looking back at our expansion timeline, started in Finland 2018, moved to Sweden in 2020, 2021 into Norway and 2022 into Denmark. Our properties at the end of this quarter, well-diversified portfolio, no change there. You'll recognize many of these figures as there's been no transactions during the quarter. 451 properties in four countries. Our car donor's capacity has grown 2% year on year, 214.1 million euros. Our property value is down 1.2%, as mentioned earlier there. And we still have the same properties, so we also are just shy of a million square meters of property area. And then again, just touching on what do we mean by stable cash flows. We try and build stable cash flows from top to bottom in our results. We focus purely daily goods and why daily goods? It's a non-cyclical business. People buy food in all business cycles. Tenants are financially strong counterparties who operate in a market with high barriers to entry. 84% of our rental income is from daily goods tenants. And worth mentioning is that excludes pharmacies, for example, and all Nordic state-owned alcohol monopolies. 97% of our properties are anchored by daily goods tenants. And when we say anchored, we often mean the only tenant in our properties as our average property size is about 2,200 square meter, which itself is a medium-sized supermarket. In those cases where we do have other tenants, it's maybe a flower shop or some kind of very small extra area. As mentioned before, 99% of our leases are index linked strong tenants. That means a full pass-through of CPI and gives us annual growth in our operations. And for us just talking briefly about our tenants, doing very well, sales growth is higher than CPI in all our markets. So sales are growing for our underlying tenants. And we have a steady waltz and the store location stability is in itself in the daily goods business very stable. Often when you have established a store in a location, the store will be there for decades. You create customer awareness and the stickiness of the site is very long-term. When it comes to our portfolio, geographical diversification, we're in four countries and we're in several regions within these countries. 451 assets where the largest one is .7% of our net operating income. So it's a very, very well diversified portfolio both geographically and also in very many small assets. And as mentioned about 2,200 lettable areas on average size. So that's the basis and that's the underlying how we create this stable stability on the income side. And then when it comes to the cost side, over 90% of our leases are either net or triple net and that shelters us from property costs increases. So that boils down to a very stable NOI. And then we add on that stability in our interest rate costs by hedging almost 100% with 97% interest hedging at the moment and we have a diverse funding sources. So that kind of boils down to the stable cash flow that we aim to produce. One of our key metrics is earnings capacity per share and it's our focus. We've historically delivered value to our shareholders through dividend yields, earnings per share growth and total returns. We've had historic operational stability which is now proven and historic noticeable yield spread even through the business cycle of a high inflation. And our main growth driver 2024 is increasing our earnings capacity per share. And happy to show you that now this is the third quarter in a row since the dip in mid 2023 where we have increased our earnings capacity and our aim is to continue to grow it. And why did the earnings capacity grow now in this quarter? Top line annexation growth as mentioned and we have been active doing bond refinancing which I'll get back to on the next slide. So a pretty busy slide, but let me help you through it. This is all previously known information from the bond issues we did earlier this year. As mentioned many times before we create, we aim to create stable cash flows and that goes also for our financing activities. For most commercial real estate companies, refinancing risk is one of the most important risks to manage of course. And this quarter we took steps to lower this risk in our bond portfolio by proactive measures. So we carried out three new bond issues during the quarter and the purpose was to address the bond maturities we have in late 2024 and late 2025. So we're well ahead of the game now and taking active measures on this already now. So to the left, the first bond issue we did which we talked about on the last earnings call as well, the new 50 million euro bond, which was at the time the lowest margin ever for us considering Tenno and that handled the bond and it's planned to handle the bond in maturing now in December, 2024. And then as things in the bond market improved even more for us during the spring here, we carried out two new bond issues, even to handle our 2025 and December 25 and our September 25 bonds. And the outcome was great and fantastic for us. We've now addressed all bonds maturing over the next two years, 2024 and 2025 so the next year and a half. And our next bond maturity in practice is in February, 2027 subject to the redemption of the outstanding bonds and maturing now in 2024 and 2025. So from this bond operation, we have managed to lower our average bond margin from .0% to .8% and we've managed to extend the maturity two years from 1.6 years to 3.6 years. So what we managed to do is go longer and cheaper on our bond financing, which is great. When it comes to our shares, we have a very liquid share with a turnover of 53 million Swedish Krona per day. And when it comes to our shareholders, it's strong and familiar names for those of you who've been following us for a while. We're very proud of those names and very proud of our large number of shareholders in general. That's it for me for now, over to Peerlen.

Thank you so much. We have some significant events during the quarter. As Christian said, we have focused on finance activities during the period. In January, we issued a 50 million Euro green senior unsecured bond at a margin of 4%, which was the lowest margin ever, taking tender into consideration. And on the 18th of March, we announced that we considered issuing new green bonds and launched a repurchase offer for all bonds maturing 2024 and 2025. On the 20th of March, we announced that Sibus had issued two green bonds, one 80 million Euro bond with a duration of four years at the margin of 4% and one 700 million CF bond with a maturity of 3.5 years at the margin of 3.5%. And now these bonds are the lowest margins to date. The 21st of March, we announced the results of the repurchase offer. And we have repurchased bond corresponding to 32.8 million Euros plus 541.3 million CF. After the period at AGM, all board members were reelected. The AGM also divided on unchanged dividends of 0.90 Euros per share, divided into 12 payment occasions. Looking at some key figures for the first rental income was 30.5 million Euros. And net operating income grew with 2% to 28.1 million Euros. Net financial items was minus 13.4 million Euros. And profit from property management grew with 4% to 12.2 million Euros. If we go into details, there are some items affecting comparability in the first quarter. In administration costs, we have partially double CEO costs during the quarter. In net financial items, we have negative exchange rate change of minus 0.3 million Euros. Unrealized change in property value was minus 22 million Euros. The negative change in value was partly due to higher yield requirements in the property portfolio. But also due to a negative unrealized change in the value of a property in Finland. The total effect was dampened somewhat by the increased rent levels as a consequence of indexation. At the end of the first quarter, 2024, the average initial yield in the portfolio was 6.5%. And then we have unrealized changes in the value of our derivatives that was plus 4 million Euros in the quarter. Our earnings, current earnings capacity shows a net operating income of 114.1 million Euros, which is an increase of 2%. Indexation has increased the rent, but currency effects and a slightly change in occupancy has dampened the increase. Profit from property management plus expenses for the Harvard bond was 51.7 million Euros. And adding back the non-cash items, profit from property management was 0.96 Euros per share, which is an increase of 0.01 Euro per share since the last quarter. Looking at the net operating income in a comparable portfolio, we see that the effect of indexation and other rent increases amounts to 4.8%. And indexation increases going forward will increase NOI and cashflow, while the financial expenses are 97% capped. The segment is countries. Finland is the largest market with 68% of the NOI. During the first quarter, Denmark and Sweden both contribute with 14% and Norway is the smallest with 4% of NOI. Property value is fairly in line with the annual distribution. Civil strategy is to give a share of a strong dividend on a monthly basis. AGM, as mentioned earlier, decided on an unchanged dividend of 0.90 Euros per share, divided into 12 payment locations. The dividend yield on the closing share price of 140.30 CEC at the end of the quarter was 7.4%. Looking at the balance sheet, property value was ,000,000 Euros. Secure debt was ,000,000 Euros, giving a loan to value on secure debt of 50.3%. Unsecured bonds amount to ,000,000 Euros, but this includes 21.5 million Euros of the December 24 bond that is callable in June. Next LTV was .7% at the end of the quarter. Our next asset value for NRV was 680 million Euros or 11.9 Euros per share. Our remaining lease time was 4.8 years at the end of the first quarter and continues to be stable around five years. Regarding funding, more than 80% is bank loans. 100% of the bank loans are interest rates hedged. 17% of funding sources is unsecured bonds. Of these, .5% are hedged as well. Our hybrid bond amounted .7% of total funding and has a first call in September, 2026. Based on the earning capacity and taking all interest rate hedges into consideration, an increase of the market interest rate with 1% point would affect profit with less than minus 0.5 million Euros annually. An increase of 2% points would affect profit with minus 0.9 million Euros annually. As you can see, the largest part of this hedging is interest rate caps, which means that lower interest rates can affect Seibus paid interest going forward. Seibus Covenant is on the new bonds, an ICR of 1.5 times and NET LCD of 70%. At the end of the first quarter, 2024, we had an ICR of 2.2 times and a NET LCD of 58.7%. Over to you, Christian.

Thank you, Elena. So back to the future now.

And out of the first 2024, just touching upon that now. For the year, our focus will be on continuing to grow our own capacity per share. And it is a very important metric for us and we'll be keeping a close eye on that. Just underlying in our business, CPI 2024 in all our markets look like they support rental income growth through indexation in their own right. We see stable development in the underlying daily goods business with sales growth larger than CPI in all of our markets. Of course, ongoing situation here with central bank communications and an inverted swap curve indicate falling interest rates in our markets and all in all, of course, falling interest rates are good for the real estate sector in general, but also for many tenants and also consumers, of course. So interesting to follow how that develops during this year. A point here called increased investor interest. I think that it's fair to say that in volatile times, there's more and more focus on stable companies and stable cash flows in operational sectors. And that's something I feel when we meet the market, there's more and more interest in the stable cash flow in our business and our underlying daily goods businesses in general. One way to look at that is in the MSCI property index of 2023, they had a presentation where they showed every single sector, and this is just Sweden by the way, Sweden MSCI 2023 property index, where they showed all of the sectors and how the total returns were for 2023. And there was only one sector or one sub-sector and one sub-market which had shown positive total returns for 2023 and that was supermarkets. And I think in general, that says a lot about the stability of the underlying real estate business of grocery and daily goods. And also just looking out abroad and in Europe, we see in Europe and the UK, there are very many specialists. The only thing they do is buy their own supermarkets. And that number of REITs in the UK and in Germany and also in other places in continental Europe, which only focus on supermarkets. And I think that's a trend that will be highlighted and emphasized going forward due to the nice stable cash flows of this business. And when it comes to the property transaction market, I think there'll be more activity as we go into 2024. Grocery assets and daily goods, they trade at positive yield spreads, which means they can be financed, which means that they can actually throw off cash flow from day one. And I think that's an important thing that many investors are looking for in this market. And also importantly, the average lot size is small. It's a liquid product in its own right because there's many buyers who can buy it. And I hope that I think that during this year, we'll see that they are creating business opportunities for us and we have a motivated competent organization ready to react on these when and if opportunities arise. The outlook for 2024 ESG, as put in the title here, there's both an E and an S in ESG. And I think that's very important to bring that out for daily goods and grocery real estate. When it comes to the E side of things, we have our green framework and a sustainability link framework in place under 2023, working under those now. We are working towards our climate neutral and our carbon neutral target of 2030. One of our main things we're working on there is energy efficiency. These buildings, they're small, but they consume quite a lot of energy in a building or store. If you think about when you go to your own supermarket, it may be cold outside, but it's warm inside, but then you need to cool the grocery. And in the summer, it's the other way around. So energy efficiency is your focus, both for us and for our tenants. And as you know, we have 90% of our leases are net leases. So we need to work side by side with our tenants in order to implement and work with energy efficiency. The good thing is that our tenants are, of course, consumer companies, and they have millions of consumer visits every week. So we work closely with them in order to achieve these environmental goals. When it comes to the S in ESG, of course, it is the daily goods and the real estate that within the daily goods segment is an important part to play in everyday life. I mean, it's very important to the population to get food and the food supplies and food logistics. And this is, of course, the last, the grocery chains and the real estate is the latest and then the last part of the logistics chain to get food to a population. And also when it comes to mental health and society, the grocery store or daily goods store is often the only physical meeting place in the modern world in many locations. So it's very important that these places keep to be accessible and safe marketplaces. And that's something we work with our tenants in order to make them accessible and safe. And so what are our focus areas going forward? Starting to the left, stability and earnings per share. Growth earnings, we want to grow our earnings capacity per share, as said before. We continue to deliver stable cash flows and dividend paying capacity. We're looking at cash earnings per share accretive potential transactions, continue to optimize the balance sheet as required. And then as I briefly touched on before as well, the ESG side of things, social infrastructure, as part of a resilient society, that's what our properties are. A daily goods is a very important meeting place, working with energy efficiency and targeting our climate neutral goal by 2030. And then the last slide for us, the primary reasons to invest in the CEBUS share. High and stable yield, firstly, favorable value growth potential through indexation and our aggregation strategy where we buy assets and put them into our portfolio. Monthly dividends and then number four here, stable and long-term underlying sector with resilience and stability. And really to wrap up, so it's been a good start to the year, a stable start. The bond operations made us go lower and longer, lower margins and longer maturities. We've grown our earnings capacity for the third quarter in a row, and we have a goal to increase our earnings capacity for share going forward. Thank you.

Now we'll

open up for questions. If you wish to ask a question, please dial pound key five on your telephone keypad to enter the queue. If you wish to withdraw your question, please dial pound key six on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from Svante Kroxas from Nordea. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Thank you, Christian and B. Elena for the presentation. A couple of questions. First one to Christian, you have not been a couple of months as the CEO. Is there anything in the organization that you feel that you want to change or will change?

Yeah, no, a hundred days tomorrow actually here at Sebus. It's been a great, great start and it's been great fun. I think it's a very stable company. We know exactly what we're doing. We have a stable property portfolio. We've had a growth from 2018 up to about 2022 and then been on a pause for a while. So I'm hoping that we soon related, we'll be able to move into more of growth mode again, of course. And I think we have an organization which is very fit for that. I mean, we are, as you know, very lean and small organization, just over 10 employees. And that also gives us a lot of flexibility. If we were to start growing, we can easily add properties in any of our regions because we work with the local partners. And our local partners are on standby if we were to start growing again. And that gives us great flexibility also to look at where we can do the best deals. Where do we get the best returns in which market? Is it Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark? So we can look objectively on all of our markets. Thanks to that flexibility.

Thank you, that's clear. And how do you look at the M&A side? I mean, your share is now trading broadly in line with EPRA and RV. So I guess that increases the likelihood also that you could consider partly equity financed transactions.

I think there'll be opportunities in the market going forward. I hope there will be. And I think as mentioned before, I think it is a liquid product and there are potentials to make transactions out there. When it comes to M&A, we have cash. We have cash to do smaller acquisitions, of course. I think payments in kind are a potential for us also. And when we have a liquid share, which pays a nice dividend, I think that's something that's sought after and attractive to many parties in the market who may be looking at doing some deals with us. So going back to that, yes. Let's see what we can do on that side. And to comment what you mentioned there on equity raises. I mean, the history of the company that has grown through larger transactions, for example, when entering a new market. So the company has done six equity raises in order to grow in the past.

Thank you. And then a couple of operational questions. Looking at your surplus ratio, it declined from 93 to 92.1 and your occupancy rate declined from 94.8 to 94.1. Could you elaborate a bit, is the decline in surplus ratio, is it solely based on lower occupancy rate and what are the reasons behind the occupancy rate? What is the reason behind the occupancy rate decline?

I mean, we do have small variation, but we are an active working with our property portfolio. So as you can see also in the CEO wording, we are always looking to see if we can have new occupancy, new tenants into our vacant properties. So it's just a slight change in occupancy, but that's something that we're working with and nothing larger change. When it comes to the surplus, then of course that has an effect of the property costs and that varies over time. In Q1, you always have more costs for heating and there's no removal. And of course that differs between the years and things like that also. And also depending on what is the charge through C, it's a little bit more diverse and goes directly to the tenants that also has an effect. So I would say that nothing dramatically and that we are working actively with our portfolio when it comes to vacancy.

Thank you. And perhaps regarding what was mentioned in the CEO comment, the write down of the asset in Kesko asset in Lahti could elaborate a bit on the size of that. I guess it's a relatively big piece and it appears that the write down is quite substantial compared to the, I mean, it sounds like it could be almost closer to 50% write down of that asset if it's part of that 22 million. But could you give some color on the situation regarding that property? I guess it could be closer to a 1% economic occupancy rate piece for you.

Yeah, sure, sure. Happy to talk about that. I mean, it's one of our largest assets. It's up there among the top five. And the situation is this, that this is like this. And it's funny, you are Finnish. So you know the city very well, of course, but it's one of the largest cities in Finland, of course. And this is a very central location. And what's happened here is that Kesko has outgrown our property, as I understand it. And they've acquired a site opposite us to build their own store location and a larger store location for this store. And I mean, this is the kind of things that happen in a portfolio of 450 assets. This is of course, one of our largest, of course, and therefore it's a big, it's an impact worth mentioning here. But when it comes to the actual situation, so our tenants have decided that they want to build something for themselves. They're staying in the area. They're moving on the other side of the street. I mean, I think that validates the strength in the location. We are already in discussions with other grocery retailers to come into the location. And that's often what happens is my experience from my years within Grocery Real Estate is that when you leave a location as a retailer, there's immediately someone else who wants to come in because it is cutthroat competition among the retail chains. And if someone were to come in here, of course, that's good for us. And it can show the strength in the location, as mentioned. But speaking of this one in particular, it's worth mentioning that we were only last week also awarded or told that we've moved forward as one of two finalists in creating a new community health center on the site. So I think this demonstrates and proves how we do work proactively with our portfolio to see if there are things we can do if and when a tenant were to move out. But I don't think it's, it's no biggie for us. This is of course a substantial write down in million euros, of course, but there's ample opportunity to continue working with this product on this property.

Thank you. And then you also in the CEO comment, you mentioned about retail chains buying assets. How do you look at this? What's the reason for the increased activities? Sharp increases in CPI linked rents and do you see this as a positive or negative from your perspective that, for example, Kesco also bought in Espo, one of their biggest supermarkets into their own balance sheet?

Yes, I see it as very positive that their retail chains are there and they have the financial muscle to buy these, their own properties or their own store properties. I mean, it in effect creates a floor of pricing. I think that's what we see now is that the prices have, index has pushed up rents and pricing is more or less remained the same as you can see in all property companies and also in this segment where we are as yields are pretty stable. I mean, at some point the retail chains are triggered to buy their own assets and perhaps develop them. That's my experience from my years in grocery real estate as well. If you want to redevelop a store and you're a financially strong grocer, what you do is you buy back the store, you change it around, you perhaps develop it a couple of hundred square meters or something, you sign a new lease and then you sell it back to the market. I mean, that's one way of making money, apart from making money in your grocery business and the side of things. So I see it as a positive thing that the grocers are actually active here and working and putting both bringing a floor on pricing but also being active and I mean, also showing how important these sites are. If they didn't believe in the sites and didn't believe kind of in the physical store and the future of their sales, et cetera, they wouldn't be buying them back and putting money and the spending capital on these assets because I mean, they're a low margin business, right? So they need to be lean and mean as well. In a balance sheet.

Thank you, that was a good answer. Then question regarding the energy performance of buildings directed by EU, which has been worked on for a couple of years and now has become a law, which seems to increase the pace of renovation and energy efficiency improvements. How do you see that impacting you going forward?

Yeah, exactly. I think it's great that these things are moving forward and that things are starting to move. I mean, we all need to work on resilience against climate change, of course, every day. We have our 2030 target of climate neutrality and there's several ways to work around this and work together with our tenants. And as I understand this, the law you're referring to there, that's a 2050 directive or to actually lower energy consumption in buildings in general because it is one of our largest carbon dioxide producers is of course the real estate sector and not just building and new construction, but of course daily operations and daily management. It's a very important thing to look at and we're working with it already, with energy efficiency.

Thank you. And then the last one you mentioned that balance sheet optimization is one of your key focus areas. How should we look at your target LTV is 55 to 65. You're now that below 59. So should we expect you to stay still at the lower end of this?

Our corridor we want to be in is 55 to 65% LTV. And in this business cycle, we're hoping the market is foreseeing rent to come down, but in this part of the business cycle, it's pretty natural to be kind of at the lower end of the LTV range, of course. What we try and do is optimize between senior banks and bonds to get that mix right in order to be as capital efficient as possible. So I think that's the answer to that question.

Okay, thank you. That is all from me.

Thank you. The next question comes from Victor Rod Stenloff from ABG Sundial Collier. Please go ahead.

Hi, Christian. Hi, Belenna. Thank you for taking my questions.

Hello,

Victor. So as usual, Sonti covered a lot of ground here, but just a few follow-ups from me. You've been fairly cautious on value revisions in past quarters. You've already elaborated quite a bit on what the key drivers for the revisions this time around are, but do you see any further negative revisions ahead or any risk of that? Or do you think you're finished and we'll go back to the more cautious approach going forward?

I think it's difficult to foresee the future. Let's start that way. We are coming from a period of very volatile real estate transaction market. And I think that in general, the value is need more transaction evidence in order to really understand where the market is. We're seeing more and more evidence, of course, coming through. My own personal view is that when looking at going forward, real estate is kind of a derivative in one way of interest rates, right? I mean, it's very capital intensive business. You never really repay your debt like an operational company. You simply refinance. I mean, it's refinancing, playing the whole real estate industry in itself. And because, I mean, it's a stable issue, that's why, and stable cash flows. And so in theory, if interest rates do show, start to come down, not just the swap curve, but actually do really do start to come down, then in theory, that should mean, of course, that property yields in one way or another will follow that development. When it comes to valuations, of course, it's important to remember that there is, there's always a lag to valuations. I mean, that's the nature of them, they need transaction evidence, right? So when it, the lag means that in a rising market, value is lagging, and also in a falling market, value is a lagging. So I think the question one needs to ask oneself is where's the bottom? Has the market bottomed out, yes or no? And take a view on that.

Yeah, and it's also important to emphasize that we always, every quarter, have external valuators valuing our portfolio.

Very good, thank you. I mean, it is what it is.

Understood, and if we could see into the future, maybe we wouldn't be having the jobs that we have now, doing something more lucrative with our time. Turning to a few operating items, the average lease term has decreased two quarters in a row here. Any comments on the outlook for the lease term going forward and how much of that down take is related to the luxury property potentially?

I mean, we're working, of course, actively with our portfolio, and we have discussions with the tenants to prolong the lease. And we do that always on a portfolio basis. So we don't discuss one or two properties at a time.

We

talk about a portfolio of properties, which means that the extension comes not only one or two properties at a time, it can be many at a time that are prolonged. So, I mean, as you can see on the graph that I showed on the presentation, the vote has been very steady around five years because we're working actively to prolong the lease. So, I mean, that's something we are going to do also forward and have continued to try to have a longer lease that's five years of a sweet pot that we think is suitable to have.

And I mentioned some points there, some examples in the CEO comments of the quarterly report. In Malmo, we've signed a new lease for a company. It could still a number of years left on the lease, but we like when the properties aren't empty. Or so we've managed to get Marthallen in a new real estate local chain, soon to be chain. This is the second store. So that's a new grocery letting. We've also done an ex grocery store in Finland in Oobu in Turku, which where we have let to a car gloss on a new five-year lease. And then looking to develop building rights above the building. In Denmark and Norway, we've also been active five-year leases in Norway and in Denmark some leases. And we signed a 10-year lease, for example, in the Nastola in Finland. We have Lidl and Tokmani as our anchor tenants on the Delegate side, but we signed a 10-year lease with Jysk. So, but on the, I mean, 84% of our rental income is daily goods. So, I mean, that's where we should focus when we look at the wall. That's the important thing for us. And as Peer Lennon mentioned, we do that, those new renegotiations, they're ongoing every year.

Yes, just touching on that, since you mentioned it, the Turkish property that you rented to Carglass, you've had the residential development business on the back burner for some time now, but in the CEO letter and now, you mentioned that you're planning to seek permission to develop residential building rights. Should we expect that residential development business to come more to the forefront ahead?

We won't develop the residential by ourselves. I mean, what we do is we create the value by obtaining the zoning plans, and then we will happily pass on the actual development to the experts in their fields. I think it's too early to say about the Laktis property, but if that were to be turned into a, or partly turned into, or turned into a health center, then the same thing would go there. That's not something we would develop ourselves.

Understood. And then last question for me, we have a slight uptick in sequential uptick in central admin, any specific reasons for this?

I mean, we do have variations over the years, over the quarters, so to say, over the quarters. And the only thing that I would say, and as I mentioned in the report, is that we had a double cost for CEOs since Christian came in, and there was some handover before Svaki left. But also we have, of course, some seasonality in administration costs.

Okay, very good. That's all my questions. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Victor. Thank you. There are no more questions at this time, so I hand the conference back to the speakers for any written questions and closing comments.

Yeah, thank you. We do have some questions from the web. I think we have covered some of them. We have, what strategy for managing tenant relationships do we have? And of course, I mean, we work very closely with our tenants because we are a cooperation partner with them, and of course, we have a dialogue and always talk regarding the properties in portfolios. So we have a very close relationship with our tenants and very much contact with them. Yeah, do we have more questions?

I mean, in general, I think many have been touched upon. Let me just have a look through here. Tenants repurchasing properties, we touched upon that. Yeah, we've touched upon that. And there are a couple of questions

direct on certain players or grocery chains and it can detail questions on their

finances.

I prefer we don't comment our tenants or the actual single companies in the market there on their financial outlays, et cetera. So I'll pass on those questions. What we feel is that we have a very geographically diversified portfolio and also a portfolio which is diversified among the major tenants in each country, sorry, the major grocery chains in each country. So just to summarize, thank you for listening and thank you for your questions. I hope we will hear from you and meet again at our Q2 results presentations on the 17th of July, 2024.

Thank you. Thank you.
