- Profit before tax reached ISK 3.53B, down from ISK 4.31B in 2024 due to lower fair value gains

The big picture
Kaldalón's rapid growth phase is concluding as it nears its ISK 100B portfolio target, achieved despite high interest rates and competitive pressures. The company's focus now shifts to operational efficiency and selective acquisitions, positioning itself as the preferred property provider for businesses in Iceland's Capital Region. With inflation-indexed leases covering debt obligations and a young, high-occupancy portfolio, Kaldalón is well-positioned to benefit from declining interest rates.
