About future Luotea

“The name Luotea stands for reliability, trust and bold direction - steering. And that's what we're ready for.”, says Antti Niitynpää, CEO of Luotea, as of the completion of the demerger.

Luotea will focus on facility services and provide comprehensive solutions throughout the entire lifecycle of buildings. Luotea is shaping a future where energy efficiency, smart technologies, and data-driven management enhance the value of properties and improve everyday life for their users. Its services include property maintenance, technical and expert services, as well as cleaning and support services.

Strategy and key strengths of Luotea

Large and resilient growth markets

Luotea is well-positioned in the stable property services market. Luotea's target market size is approximately EUR 12.2 billion, comprising EUR 6 billion in Finland and EUR 6.2 billion in Sweden. The target market is expected to have an annual growth rate of about 4 per cent. The key drivers of the market growth include increased regulation, emphasis on sustainability, automation and growing trend of outsourcing.

Strong position with differentiated spearhead offerings

Luotea is one of the leading players in all its segments, distinguished by its differentiated spearhead offering. The spearhead products consist of data-driven optimised services, energy management systems and sustainability consulting. These are the spearheads for Luotea's growth in both new and existing customer relationships, offering cross-selling opportunities and increased demand for the core business services.

Diversified and sticky customers with repositioned contract portfolio

Luotea has a broad and diverse customer base of over 6,000 clients with a low turnover rate. Over the past three years, the optimisation of its contract portfolio has significantly increased the proportion of high-profitability contracts, providing a healthy base for future expansion.

Margin expansion through an improved operating model

In recent years, Luotea has improved its profitability in cleaning and property maintenance services in Finland and still holds significant potential for further enhancement. Luotea has a proven operating model that has already delivered strong results in Finland, and which has also been implemented in Sweden to the extent applicable.

High cash generation through contracted business model

Long-term contracts ensure stable revenue due to re-occurring nature, providing predictable and robust financial profile while reducing customer churn. In addition, efficient capital utilisation and low investment requirements ensure strong cash conversion.

Substantial growth potential in Finland and Sweden

With a diverse customer base and extensive coverage, Luotea is well-positioned to leverage cross-selling opportunities and expand into new segments. In addition, the future outsourcing needs of the public sector create additional growth potential.

• Adjusted EBITA margin exceeding 5% in the mid-term
