Baltic Horizon Fund Consolidated Unaudited Results For Q3 2025


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Management Board of Baltic Horizon Capital AS (previously Northern Horizon Capital AS) has approved the unaudited financial results of Baltic Horizon Fund (the Fund) for the nine months of 2025.

The Fund reports on its 9 months of operations in 2025 under the new composition of its management board as well as the new ownership of its management company which are effective from 30 October 2025. In connection with this change of ownership, the management company has changed its name to Baltic Horizon Capital AS.

The management estimates that approximately EUR 25 million in new equity is required to enable full repayment of the bonds and funding asset enhancement projects on the current portfolio. Over the course of November, the management will communicate to the market the terms of the new units offering which will be intended for the existing unitholders of the Fund. Subject to the approval of the unitholders' meeting, this offering will be commenced in January already.

Until the bonds are not repaid in full, necessary asset enhancements are not implemented - the Fund will not have the capacity to distribute any cash to the unitholders. It is therefore unlikely that any distributions would restart anytime soon.

Leasing performance
During the 9 months of 2025, the Fund handed over approx. 12,500 sq. m. of newly leased out premises. Moreover, leases of approx. 7,150 sq. m. were prolonged. 48 new tenants have been attracted to our buildings, in many cases to replace more problematic ones, while 28 existing tenants have decided to continue their cooperation with us.

As of the end of September 2025, the portfolio occupancy rate based on handover date stood at 85.6%, while occupancy calculated according to lease signing date reached 87.7%. Still, around 10% of leases during the next 3 months are set to expire therefore respective prolongations and relettings are of utmost urgency.

Recent leasing activity is reflected in the increase in the weighted average unexpired lease term until the first break option, which was 3.8 years as of 30 September 2025 (compared to 3.3 years as of 31 December 2024).

GRESB benchmarking
In 2025 the Fund received a 4-star GRESB rating.

Net result and net rental income
In Q1-Q3 2025, the Group recorded a net loss of EUR 959 thousand compared with a net loss of EUR 13,399 thousand for Q1-Q3 2024. Excluding last year's interim valuation loss, net loss for the prior year period was EUR 870 thousand. The result was mainly driven by the losses on disposal of investment properties. Earnings per unit for Q1-Q3 2025 were negative at EUR 0.01 (Q1-Q3 2024: negative at EUR 0.09).

The Group earned consolidated net rental income of EUR 8.7 million in Q1-Q3 2025 (Q1-Q3 2024: 8.9 million). The results for Q1-Q3 2025 include two months of net rental income of the Meraki office property (EUR 0.2 million), which was sold on 13 March 2025. A slight decline in net rental income year-on-year primarily reflects a higher allowance for bad debts recognised as part of a more conservative debtor risk management approach.

Investment properties
At the end of Q3 2025, the Baltic Horizon Fund portfolio consisted of 11 investment properties in the Baltic capitals. The fair value of the Fund's portfolio was EUR 228.3 million at the end of September 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 241.2 million) and incorporated a total net leasable area of 111.5 thousand sq. m. During Q1-Q3 2025 the Group invested approximately EUR 3.4 million in tenant fit-outs.

Gross Asset Value (GAV)
As of 30 September 2025, the Fund's GAV was EUR 237.7 million (31 December 2024: EUR 256.0 million). The decrease compared to the prior year was mainly related to the disposal of the Meraki office building, which had contributed approx. EUR 16.4 million to the GAV.

Net Asset Value (NAV)
As of 30 September 2025, the Fund's NAV was EUR 97.2 million (31 December 2024: EUR 98.1 million). The NAV decrease was mainly due to losses on disposal of Meraki. As of 30 September 2025, IFRS NAV per unit amounted to EUR 0.6773 (31 December 2024: EUR 0.6833), while EPRA net tangible assets and EPRA net reinstatement value were EUR 0.7224 per unit (31 December 2024: EUR 0.7267). EPRA net disposal value was EUR 0.6745 per unit (31 December 2024: EUR 0.6797).

Interest-bearing loans and bonds
As of 30 September 2025, interest-bearing loans and bonds (excluding lease liabilities) were EUR 134.5 million (31 December 2024: EUR 149.0 million).

As of 30 September 2025, the Fund's consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 6.0 million (31 December 2024: EUR 10.1 million).

Cash flow
Cash inflow from core operating activities in Q1-Q3 2025 amounted to EUR 5.8 million (Q1-Q3 2024: cash inflow of EUR 6.6 million). Cash inflow from investing activities was EUR 11.8 million (Q1-Q3 2024: cash outflow of EUR 4.3 million) mainly due to the sale of Meraki in March 2025 for EUR 16 million and higher capital expenditure on investment properties. Cash outflow from financing activities was EUR 21.6 million (Q1-Q3 2024: cash inflow of EUR 1.5 million). In Q1-Q3 2025, the Fund repaid the BH Novus UAB (previously BH Meraki UAB) loan amounting to EUR 10.3 million, redeemed early bonds in the amount of EUR 3 million, prepaid EUR 1.7 million of loans, and paid regular amortisation and interest on bank loans and bonds.
