Magnolia Bostad Interim Report Jan–Mar 2023

Project margins are still under pressure due to increased construction costs, more expensive financing and higher yield requirements, which makes it difficult to start new projects. Q1's results were negatively affected by missing project sales, costs for cancelled projects and write-downs within the project portfolio.

Uncertainty remains both in the geopolitical situation and with macroeconomic development. We are now seeing a slowdown in the economy as a result of the powerful interest rate hikes and liquidity constraints the central banks have implemented in their attempts to overcome high inflation.

On the positive side, the review of fixed costs that we carried out in autumn 2022 is now starting to show an effect in the form of lower costs. Much also suggests that inflation is on the way down and that the central banks will therefore begin lowering their reference interest rates during the year. At the same time, the growing housing shortage means that the underlying need for newly produced housing in Sweden will be large in the coming years. We continue to work with the approximately 18,500 residential units available in our building rights portfolio and the roughly 9,000 units we have in production. We have many excellent projects underway and have great faith in the future, even if we are currently being held back by the market situation.
