Group´s operations
The Group performed well in the first nine months of the year 2023 and the results were in accordance with management’s updated forecasts. Operating income for the first nine months of the year 2023 amounted to ISK 8,453 million. Thereof, rental income amounted to ISK 7,115 million. Operating costs amounted to 2,866 million and write down of trade receivables was positive during the period, amounting to ISK 179 million.
Operating profit before changes in fair value change and depreciation amounted to ISK 5,766 million. Adjusted for one-time costs related to the merger discussion, takeover bid and other items the operating profit before changes in fair value change and deprecation amounted to ISK 5,806 million, increasing by just over 19% between years. Profit before income tax amounted to ISK 6,823 million and total profit of the Group for the first nine months of the year 2023 amounted to ISK 5,459 million. Other comprehensive income amounted to ISK 1,427 million. Total comprehensive income for the first nine months amounted to ISK 6,886 million
The NOI Ratio (i.e. operating profit before changes in value and depreciation adjusted for one-time costs as a ratio of lease income) was 77.8% for the first nine months of the year 2023, compared to 74.6% for the same period in 2022.
The Group's investment assets are valued at fair value in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which is based on, among other, discounted future cash flows of individual assets. Changes in fair value are recognised and classified within changes in value of investment assets in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, which amounted to ISK 7,095 million in the first nine months of the year 2023. The main assumptions driving the change are inflation, increase in rental rates and increase in value of building permits.
