Outlook and effects due to COVID-19
The effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations have been extensive. The balance of trade receivables has increased by ISK 132 million since year end 2019 and write-down of trade receivables amounted to ISK 182 million in the same period.

The balance of trade receivables and amounts of depreciation are in line with the Company’s expectations when updated forecast was published.
It is still unclear what economic effect the pandemic will have on the Company’s operations. The Company continues to work with tenants on resolving their issues which mainly consist of deferrals of lease payments and operating expenses. The results for the year will thus mainly depend on how the Company’s tenants will come through the pandemic and how quickly daily life will return to normal. The Company’s management do not see any reason to reevaluate the updated forecast.
Strong cash position
The Company has taken several measures in order to ensure further a strong cash position. The Company drew down an ISK 1,400 million bank facility which was secured at the beginning of the pandemic, the buyback plan was shortened, and the Board of Directors proposed that no dividend would be paid due to the year 2019. Shareholders approved this proposal at the Annual General Meeting on
In addition to this the Company has an undrawn line of credit amounting to ISK 800 million and unpledged assets amounting to over ISK 4,400 million. Furthermore, the Company has postponed some of the planned projects which were not subject to agreements with tenants. The Company’s position with regards to loan agreement covenants continues to be strong.
The Company’s cash position is strong and at the end of June the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to ISK 2,599 million. Net cash from operations amounted to ISK 1,191 million in the period.
Increases of bond classes
The Company increased the bond class EIK 050726 in July by an amount of ISK 2,000 million nominal value with a 2.25% rate of return and the proceeds of the issuance were used to repay unfavourable bank loans.
