KMC Properties ASA, a real estate company focusing on industrial and logistic properties, recorded rental income of NOK 104 million for the third quarter of 2023, up 58 per cent from NOK 66 million in the same period last year.

For the first nine months of 2023 the rental income was NOK 303 million, up from NOK 193 million for the same period last year.

"We are pleased to deliver on our accretive growth plan and to bring a new strategic investor onboard. In addition, attractive new bank debt shows that we receive continued support from banks in times of increased macro uncertainty. The transaction improves all our KPIs and brings us closer to our vision of becoming the preferred real estate partner for logistic and industrial companies" says Liv Malvik, CEO of KMC Properties. At the end of the third quarter of 2023, the company's investment properties were valued at NOK 5 900 million, up from NOK 4 502 million at the end of the third quarter of 2022 and down from NOK 6 032 million at the end of the previous quarter. The decrease is primarily due to a NOK 116 million investment property valuation adjustment, corresponding to 1.9 per cent quarter-on-quarter. 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.
