INVL Baltic Real Estate had a net profit of EUR 0.7 million last year

The real estate investment company INVL Baltic Real Estate had a consolidated net profit of EUR 0.7 million last year, 83 percent less than in 2022 when the net profit was EUR 4.2 million.

Profit last year was reduced by a marked increase in interest expenses (EUR 1.0 million in 2023 compared to EUR 0.4 million in 2022) as well as by a slight impairment of investment properties (EUR 0.2 million) due to revaluation, whereas in 2022 the revaluation of assets had a positive impact on profit (EUR 4.0 million).

The company’s consolidated equity at the end of 2023 was EUR 23.52 million. Equity per share was EUR 2.92 and compared to a year earlier grew 3%, also taking into account dividends that were paid.

“Last year the company’s properties under management continue to maintain a high level of occupancy and increased their operating income. Although the company’s net profit decreased, the performance indicators that are significant for fund operations, like net operating income, have steadily increased. Last summer the Pramogų Bankas building in Vilnius was added to company’s real estate portfolio,” says Vytautas Bakšinskas, the real estate fund manager at INVL Asset Management, which manages INVL Baltic Real Estate.

The value of INVL Baltic Real Estate’s investment properties at the end of 2023 was EUR 42.1 million and was 15% more than a year earlier (when it was EUR 36.4 million). The growth in value was due to investments in the property at Vilniaus Street 37 in the Lithuanian capital.

The company’s consolidated revenue in 2023 increased 6% to EUR 3.6 million, of which consolidated rent income from own properties increased 16% to EUR 2.2 million. INVL Baltic Real Estate’s consolidated net operating income from its properties was EUR 2.4 million and was 19% more than in 2022.

“For a fourth straight year now, we managed to maintain maximum occupancy of Talent Garden Vilnius and continually improve that property’s financial results. Last year was also significant in terms of developing the building at Vilniaus Street 37 in the Vilnius Old Town and notably advancing with the design for reconstruction of the buildings at the intersection of Palangos and Vilniaus streets,” Vytautas Bakšinskas says.

The net operating income for the largest property that INVL Baltic Real Estate owns – the office building at Palangos Street 4 with the Talent Garden Vilnius coworking space which the company operates – was EUR 1.5 million in 2023 year, or 19% more than in 2022.

In April last year, repair and restoration work began on the building at Vilniaus Street 37. When it is complete, the company will be able to offer the market about 2,200 sq. m. of high-end leasable space in offices on the second and third floors and dining facilities on the first floor.

Currently, the technical design for the reconstruction of the buildings at the intersection of Palangos and Vilniaus streets is being completed with the design company Viltekta. The reconstruction is expected to increase the surface area of the complex by approximately 3,600 sq. m.

In July 2023, INVL Baltic Real Estate acquired the company Pramogų Bankas, which owns the building of the same name in Vilnius, for EUR 2.9 million.
