Excerpts from CEO comment
“The hotel market improved in the third quarter, supported by a good event calendar and a leisure travel segment that remained active. Pandox’s total revenue and net operating income increased by 5 and 8 percent respectively, supported by both acquired and organic growth. For comparable portfolios in fixed currency, revenue and net operating income increased by 1 and 2 percent respectively, driven by a better market and a positive contribution from transformative investments.”
“On 15 July Pandox and Eiendomsspar placed a recommended cash offer for Dalata to be implemented as a Scheme of Arrangement. The acquisition has a clear strategic and financial logic. The hotel portfolio is of high quality, is very profitable, and the hotels have strong locations in dynamic and growing markets. We see possibilities for significant value creation in the short and long term with Scandic as operating partner. As we have communicated, several important steps have been taken to complete the acquisition.”
“From the completion, 31 Investment Properties with a market value of approximately MSEK 16,700 will be reported in the business segment Leases. Initial average yield is estimated to 6.95 percent. The annual rental income is estimated to be equivalent to approximately MSEK 1,200 with an estimated profitability in line with Pandox’s already existing lease agreements in the UK and Ireland.”
“We are expecting stable demand in the hotel market in the fourth quarter and for the trend to follow the normal seasonal pattern, with demand decreasing as usual during the second half of December before picking up again in the second half of January. Providing that the Dalata acquisition is completed at the beginning of November 2025, we will benefit from the revenue and net operating income from part of the fourth quarter. The effect on our earnings will, however, be negative in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to one-time costs relating to the acquisition. The acquisition will make a significant contribution to both net operating income and cash earnings in 2026.”
