Emilshus, the Swedish commercial property owner, posted notable operational gains in the second quarter as rental income and profit from property management advanced versus the prior year. The company has adjusted its full-year outlook for 2026 upward, citing recent transactions and capital measures that it says will support ongoing profitable growth.
Quarterly performance
For the quarter, rental income rose to SEK 274 million, an increase of 29% year-over-year. Profit from property management climbed 28% from the prior-year period to SEK 125 million. Net income for the quarter totaled SEK 121 million. Emilshus reported operating cash flow of SEK 115 million and net letting of SEK 2 million for the period.
Updated outlook
The company raised its 2026 profit from property management forecast to SEK 495 million, up from a prior forecast of SEK 490 million. Emilshus said it expects to deliver continued profitable growth supported by its recent acquisitions and capital raising.
Drivers of growth
Management attributed the uplift in results to acquisitions in the light industry segment and other strategic markets. The company also pointed to a strengthened property management organization, positive net letting and a high occupancy rate as contributors to the improved performance.
Emilshus highlighted that tenant-specific modifications, extensions and energy efficiency improvements have also contributed to the period's results. Looking ahead, the company expects to maintain a stable occupancy rate at 95% and to continue its energy efficiency improvements.
