Management comments on the Annual report
In connection with Annual Report 2020, CEO Pradeep Pattem states the following:
“The year 2020 will be remembered by its unique impact on the world. I am quite glad and proud to have had the opportunity to navigate various operational and business challenges with the team at Park Street Nordicom. While the EBVAT of DKK 70 million may reflect a reasonable performance for the year, the work that has been undertaken across the leasing, asset management, operations, technology and design team should put us in a very good position to take on many opportunities that the year 2021 will provide. We are expecting make significant steps to streamline our portfolio by disposing several assets, increase the occupancy of assets and continue to hone our tech based operational platform to optimise costs. We already signed 2 significant leases in the new year, which required innovative design led solutions, working with our bank and project partners to get them done. The company expects that the EBVAT for the year 2021 will be in the range of DKK 85 to 90 million."
