Catena’s CEO Jörgen Eriksson comments on the interim report:

” The land bank, which we have built up over a number of years, comprises large potential logistics sites in optimum locations throughout Sweden. As demand increases, the quantity of land available for development decreases. This makes us a more attractive partner as we are able to meet the needs of customers wanting to expand their logistics space in strategic locations. In addition to the land bank, we need a strong financial profile to implement projects and manage these facilities for our customers through all the phases of a market cycle. I am pleased to report to the market that during the quarter, we were awarded a BBB- credit rating, equivalent to Investment Grade, by both NCR and Fitch. The fact that we achieved and maintained this level in times of uncertainty is in line with our ambition to be a stable, long-term partner, whatever the macroeconomic climate.”

” When our customers’ needs grow, we are ready to support their growth plans. One example of this is Nowaste Logistics, a fast-growing third-party logistics operator that leased its first facility from us in 2018. We now own three facilities in which they operate, and we recently signed a Letter of Intent for what will be Catena’s largest project ever. Three logistics facilities totalling 75,000 m² are being built at Logistikposition Ramlösa in Helsingborg for Nowaste Logistics to continue to develop its operations.”
