Management Board of Northern Horizon Capital AS has approved the audited
financial results of Baltic Horizon Fund (the Fund) for the year 2017. The
financial results remained unchanged compared to the preliminary disclosure on
15th of February 2018.
At the end of 2017, the GAV increased from EUR 154.9 million to EUR 215.8
million as compared to the end of 2016. The increase is mainly related to new
acquisitions during the year and the increase in cash as a result of the latest
secondary public offering in November. The Fund completed the acquisition of the
Postimaja Shopping Centre on 13 February 2018 and thus has deployed most of the
new capital raised in November 2017.
During 2017, the Fund NAV increased from EUR 76.8 million to EUR 107 million as
compared to the end of 2016. The increase is related to new equity raised and
the Group’s operational performance over the year. The Fund raised EUR 25.6
million net equity during the June and November public offerings and generated
EUR 9.4 million in net profit. The Fund also made a EUR 5.1 million cash
distribution to its investors.
In 2017, the net profit of the Group increased from EUR 5.8 million to EUR 9.4
million as compared to 2016. During the year, the Group recorded a EUR 3.7
million fair value gain (EUR 2.7 million during 2016).
In 2017, the Group recorded a EUR 10.8 million net rental income (EUR 7.2
million in 2016). The increase is related to new acquisitions that were made
following the capital raisings at the end of 2016 and during 2017.
