KMC Properties ASA, a real estate company focusing on industrial and logistic properties, recorded a solid second quarter 2021, with a net operating income of NOK 51.7 million and an operating profit of NOK 34.6 million. The company was established in 2020, and therefore has not recorded financials for the corresponding period of 2020. 'We made very good progress on our growth ambitions during the second quarter and into the third quarter this year, as reflected in the announcements of a total of three development projects and four acquisitions,' says Liv Malvik, CEO of KMC Properties. 'This follows the integration of the companies we acquired towards the end of 2020. Added to the strengthening of our organisation earlier this year, we have built a solid foundation to successfully execute on an attractive portfolio of opportunities.' For the second quarter, KMC Properties posted a net income of NOK 53.7 million and a net income from property management of NOK 14.7 million. The group's property portfolio value stood at NOK 3.3 billion. The company announced two acquisitions of industrial properties in Denmark and Molde, Norway, for a total of approximately NOK 72 million. In addition, the company invested approximately NOK 30.3 million in the development of existing properties. Since the end of the second quarter, KMC Properties has announced two new development projects, including a Letter of Intent with Slakteriet Holding AS to build a NOK 620 million slaughterhouse facility at Florø, and an agreement with Oppdal Spekemat for the construction of new production facility at Oppdal. In addition, the company has entered a long-term lease agreement with BEWI for the previously announced development project at Jøsnøya, and announced acquisitions of one industrial property at Mongstad, Norway, for NOK 285 million and one in Denmark for DKK 75 million. Both the new development projects, as well as recent acquisitions, enable KMC Properties to further diversify its portfolio of solid tenants. 'KMC Properties has an experienced organisation, a strong financial position and an attractive property portfolio with solid counterparties on long-term lease agreements,' says Malvik. 'This, combined with a continuously strong pipeline of exciting investment opportunities, makes us confident that we will deliver on our growth ambitions, including potentially increasing our portfolio value to approximately NOK 4.1 billion at year-end 2021 and reach our strategic target of an NOK 8 billion-portfolio at year-end 2025.'
