Baltic Horizon Fund Consolidated Unaudited Results For Q1 2026


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Management Board of Baltic Horizon Capital AS has approved the unaudited financial results of Baltic Horizon Fund (the Fund) for the three months of 2026.

With the injection of EUR 12.3 million of new equity completed in March 2026, ahead of significant increase in macroeconomic turbulence, the Fund has secured sufficient liquidity from its current investors to continue its operations and repaid ahead of the schedule EUR 7.5 million of the bonds. As communicated before, the management team is determined to complete the repayment of the remaining bonds (EUR 11.5 million) during 2026, preferably from the property disposals.

At the time of this report, the three properties intended for disposal - Pirita Keskus, Hipokrata Center (ex-Sky SC) and North Star - each have prospective buyers in various phases of engagement, and the management believes that at least one of the three will be successfully disposed during the summer.

The Fund's profit for Q1 2026 amounted EUR 237 thousand. However, this includes EUR 286 thousand in one-off costs from new equity issuance and early bond prepayments. Excluding these one-offs and non-cash items the adjusted net result was EUR 601 thousand.

As of the start of the year most of the properties are managed by the organization directly employed by the subsidiaries of the fund which will start having positive effect on the property costs (benefiting both the Fund and its tenants) and debt collection levels. Even more important, this dedicated organisation operates exclusively in the interest of Baltic Horizon, with no competing economic interests, ensuring full alignment with the Fund's immediate and long-term objectives.

The overheads of the fund have also been reduced to the bare minimum, and as of Q2 2026 onwards the cost base of fund overheads (excluding fund management fee and one-off items such as new equity issue) is projected to be at the level of EUR 100 thousand per quarter (compared to approx. EUR 207 thousand a year ago).

As part of ongoing efforts to streamline reporting, the fund has simplified its segment structure. Effective from this report, business segments are presented on a country basis (office, retail and leisure are thus discontinued).

Most of the legacy accounting issues (such as provisions for doubtful receivables, accrual and expending of broker fees, etc.) are resolved by now. One of the larger items with uncertain prospect of effective utilization is deferred tax asset (and deferred tax liabilities) kept on the consolidated accounts at the net value of EUR 1.4 million as of the end of the quarter and relating to the corporate tax accounting matters in the Lithuanian subsidiaries. Given the uncertainty surrounding the future utilisation of these deferred tax assets, it is likely that this item will be derecognised during 2026.

Effective 1 April 2026, Edvinas Karbauskas was appointed to the Management Board as Co-Fund Manager. Following the departure of Tarmo Karotam, Edvinas Karbauskas assumed the role of Chairman of the Management Board and Fund Manager effective 1 May 2026. The Management Board currently comprises two members: Edvinas Karbauskas and Gerda Bliuvienė.

Going forward, this management has one top priority to deliver on - attracting and retaining tenants in each of the properties of the Fund. Current level of occupancy across the portfolio is unsatisfactory. Success in this area will determine the future strategic options available for the fund, and the potential of restoring profitable operations for the benefit of the unitholders.
