KMC Properties ASA, a real estate company focusing on industrial and logistic properties, recorded rental income of NOK 104 million for the second quarter of 2023, up 60% from NOK 65 million in the same period last year. The increase is primarily driven by income from new investments, in addition to a weighted average CPI adjustment of rent of 7.5% on 1 January. For the first half 2023 the rental income was NOK 199 million, up from NOK 127 million the same period last year. In the second quarter the company secured a full refinancing of its NOK 1,850 million senior secured bond and its NOK 200 million revolving credit facility. The refinancing improved KMC Properties debt structure by increasing its share of low margin bank debt from 38% to 69% and reduced its overall interest from 6.45% to 6.02% from the end of the second quarter to July 2023 respectively. "Our ability to refinance at lower interest margins in the current macro environment is a testament to the hard work laid down by the team over the past years, the quality of our assets and our strong tenants. For us this refinancing represents a major milestone, and we now look forward to continue to grow our portfolio, utilising our operational leverage to further strengthen our cash flow - currently stretching all the way into 2040." says Liv Malvik, CEO of KMC Properties. At the end of the second quarter 2023, the company's investment properties were valued at NOK 6 032 million, up from NOK 4 247 million at the end of the second quarter 2022 and from NOK 5 993 million at the end of the previous quarter. The increase is due to accretive investments and currency effects. KMC Properties remains committed to its investment strategy, focusing on properties in Northern Europe with solid tenants in established industries, in addition to greenfield and capex projects in collaboration with current and new tenants. The company's investments have increased the overall EBITDA yield due to increased utilization of the current organization and KMC Properties will continue its accretive growth towards its goal of a GAV of NOK 8 billion by year end 2024.
