Norwegian Property has experienced a very good quarter considering the number of signed rental contracts – both new and renewed. Rental contracts with a total annual rent of NOK 54 million have been signed during second quarter. This underlines the activity in our entire organisation, says Bent Oustad (CEO).

The company has refinanced approximately NOK 1 500 million of its remaining bank debt with three new bond agreements and one new bilateral bank term loan. All loans are secured with a mortgage in Kaibygning 1 at Aker Brygge. This has contributed to reduced loan margins and increased duration of the loan portfolio.

Pre-tax profit came to NOK 304.7 million (NOK 57 million). Net profit for the period came to NOK 240.3 million. That yielded ordinary earnings per share (EPS) of NOK 0.45 for the second quarter. Carried equity per share came to NOK 15.60 at 30 June 2019, up from NOK 14.83 at 31 March.

The board has declared a dividend of NOK 0.07 per share which will be paid to the shareholders on 14 August 2019 (ex-date 15 July 2019).
