Year-end report, January – December 2018

With the fourth quarter’s results, Catena are summarising a strong 2018. Catena’s active project development work is successful and we maintain a high delivery rate where new projects are initiated continuously. An improved letting ratio contributes to a higher profit from property management, which in turn generates a good cash flow development.

”Changed goods flows, a higher share of digitally driven trade and increasingly complex logistics benefit our business and drive our cash flows. We see continued growth in our industry and Catena’s focus on sustainable, efficient logistics facilities in strategic locations matches the growing needs more than enough. By offering properties that meet high standards, we add value, but it is in our role as an active discussion partner that develop­ment takes place and trust is created. One example is our close cooperation with our customer, the third-party logistics operator Nowaste. In close collaboration with others, we resolve Nowaste’s needs and can quickly complete a new logistics warehouse with the best conditions for advanced automation solutions” says CEO Benny Thögersen in his comments.

”In 2018, Catena worked conscientiously on several fronts. We had a strong focus on project development and we have reached agreements on the acquisition of important logistics land to secure new logistics locations. I am incredibly proud of what we are achieving, but above all I am proud of the way that we are doing it. Catena’s dedicated and committed employees always strive to exceed expectations in large and small – a winning concept for developing the logistics locations of the future” summarises CEO Benny Thögersen.
