EfTEN Real Estate Fund Reports July 2026 NAV Growth Amid Lease Transition
Event summary
- July rental income dipped to €2.89M from €2.90M due to Lidl lease termination in Latvia, but new lease signed immediately.
- EBITDA rose to €2.51M (June: €2.47M), boosted by Hotel Palace's strong performance and interest rate swap gains.
- Vacancy rate improved slightly to 2.2% from 2.3%, with office segment vacancy dropping to 8.6%.
- Seven-month rental income up 5.8% YoY; NAV per share increased 0.9% to €20.08.
The big picture
EfTEN's July performance reflects typical real estate fund volatility from lease transitions, but strong occupancy and strategic hedging suggest resilience. The 5.8% YoY rental income growth aligns with broader commercial property recovery trends in Northern Europe, though office segment vacancy remains a watchpoint.
