Key figures

Outlook for 2026 unchanged

Lumo Homes estimates that in 2026, the Group's total revenue will amount to between EUR 488–493 million. In addition, Lumo Homes estimates that the Group's FFO for 2026 will amount to between EUR 147–152 million excluding non-recurring costs.

The outlook is based on the management's assessment of total revenue, property maintenance expenses and repairs, administrative expenses, financial expenses and taxes to be paid as well as the management's view on future developments in the operating environment.

The outlook takes into account the estimated occupancy rate and the development of rents. The outlook does not take into account the impact of potential future acquisitions or disposals.

The management can influence total revenue and FFO through the company's business operations. In contrast, the management has no influence over market trends, the regulatory environment or the competitive landscape.

CEO's review

Strong growth continued in the third quarter. Total revenue, net rental income and FFO increased from the corresponding period. Growth was driven by the residential portfolio acquired in April and the improvement in the occupancy rate. Our balance sheet has remained strong, and our liquidity good.

The improvement in the occupancy rate continued in the third quarter, and our financial occupancy rate increased to 95.5 per cent at the end of the review period. Leasing activity remained strong following the summer season, and the occupancy rate for the third quarter increased to 96.4 per cent. The occupancy rate of the portfolio acquired in April has developed exceptionally well. We reached the stabilised occupancy rate estimated for the portfolio already during the third quarter, and at the end of September its occupancy rate stood at 96.8 per cent. The portfolio's performance has been supported in particular by its successful integration into Lumo's operating models and leasing platform, as well as by the high quality and attractive locations of the properties.

The supply of rental apartments has continued to decline, particularly in the capital region. At the same time, new residential construction has remained at a very low level, population growth is expected to continue in the largest cities and the outlook for the Finnish economy has improved. These factors support the gradual rebalancing of the rental market.

The continued rise in market interest rates during the autumn has also been reflected in yield requirements in the real estate market. As a result, we increased the yield requirements used in our valuations, which reduced the fair values of our investment properties. On the other hand, the inclusion of the acquired portfolio in our fair value valuation model had a clear positive impact on fair values. Despite these changes, our balance sheet remained strong.
 

Moody's affirmed our Baa2 credit rating with a stable outlook in September. During the autumn, we have continued to refinance maturing bank loans while extending the maturity of our loan portfolio. After the review period, we refinanced the EUR 125 million syndicated loan well in advance of its maturity in autumn 2027. Thanks to the high hedging ratio of our loan portfolio, changes in interest rates primarily affect new financing. The availability of financing has remained good in both the bank and capital markets.

Although uncertainty persists in the operating environment, we have made good progress towards our key objectives. The successful onboarding of the portfolio acquired in April, the strong development of the occupancy rate and our proactive financing arrangements provide us with a good starting point for the final quarter of the year. We have also further advanced the use of AI to improve the seamless customer journey and operational efficiency. We will continue to implement our strategy, focusing on improving the customer experience and maintaining a strong financial position.
