Eastnine Stays Profitable as It Sells Riga Offices and Prepares for New Acquisitions

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Eastnine AB ( (SE:EAST) ) has shared an announcement.

Eastnine reported stable profit from property management in the first quarter of 2026 despite a cold winter, higher energy costs and a slightly lower average occupancy rate, with modest declines in rental income, net operating income and overall profit versus a strong prior-year period. The company strengthened liquidity through an extended credit facility and, after the quarter, agreed to sell two office properties in Riga for about EUR 38 million, while its science-based climate targets were validated and the board proposed a higher dividend, together positioning Eastnine for future acquisitions, particularly in Warsaw, and underscoring its strategic shift toward optimised, sustainable office investments.

The divestment of Alojas Biroji and Zala 1 will leave Eastnine with a smaller but more focused portfolio in Riga, including the Valdemara Centrs investment property and the Kimmel development project, and is expected to add around EUR 12 million in liquidity in the second quarter and provide additional cash and fund units to support new deals. Positive but modest net lettings, a loan-to-value ratio holding at 47 percent and validated Science Based Targets initiative climate goals highlight a cautious yet proactive strategy, balancing current macroeconomic turbulence and energy cost pressures with preparation for growth and a continued emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency across its portfolio.
