JANUARY–JUNE 2026
APRIL-JUNE 2026
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING AND AFTER THE SECOND QUARTER
CEO-COMMENT
Repurchase of own shares to strengthen long-term shareholder value
A turbulent business environment and subdued economic growth dominated the first half of the year. The Swedish economy is recovering, but growth was initially modest and the labor market remains weak. At the same time, inflation has eased and household purchasing power has improved, which lays the groundwork for a gradually stronger economy going forward.
Neobo’s rental income in its like-for-like portfolio increased 3.8 percent, as a result of factors including the completion of value-generating apartment renovations and a lower vacancy rate.
Profit from property management decreased to SEK 87 m (102) due to the absence of net operating income from divested properties and the fact that the first quarter of the year was significantly colder and snowier than the previous year.
Divestments enable improved capital allocation
Two divestments of low-yielding properties were completed in June with the aim of maximizing shareholder value and optimizing the property portfolio.
Prästkragen 5 in Helsingborg was divested at an underlying property value of SEK 27.5 m, which was 3 percent above the book value as of March 31, 2026. Closing will take place in September. The Örnholmen 3 and 4 leasehold properties in Vårberg were divested at an underlying property value of SEK 104 m, which was 18 percent above the book value as of March 31, 2026. Closing will take place during October.
These transactions release capital that will be used for investments with higher returns, with the aim of increasing Neobo’s net asset value and earnings per share. In the current market, we regard the repurchase of own shares as an attractive use of our capital that creates value, and an efficient way to strengthen long-term shareholder value.
Since last autumn, we have repurchased own shares for SEK 111 m, improving our financial key metrics per share and demonstrating our confidence in Neobo’s long-term potential. In total, we now hold approximately 5.8 million shares, corresponding to 4 percent of the total number of registered shares.

Refinancing on attractive terms
Our financial position is strong, with stable cash flows and good prospects for positive growth in net operating income going forward. The value of the property portfolio is SEK 13.6 billion and the loan-to-value ratio remained below 50 percent. Our financial strength creates scope for action in changing market conditions and enables the continued implementation of our strategy for long-term value creation.
Two loan agreements totaling SEK 1.2 billion were extended on attractive terms during the quarter. Good access to capital in combination with Neobo’s financial stability have led to the successful refinancing at margins below the average margin of our loan agreements.
In closing, I would like to extend my warmest thanks to our employees and shareholders for your dedication, and I wish you all a wonderful summer. I am full of expectations ahead of the autumn, and I look forward to the continued development of Neobo, with a focus on long-term value creation.
