Guidance for the financial year 2026 (unchanged)

Revenue for the financial year 2026 is expected to be 29.9–31.2 million euros, representing approximately 10–15% growth compared to the financial year 2025 (2025: 27.1 million euros).

Adjusted EBITDA for the financial year 2026 is expected to be 12.7–13.9 million euros, representing approximately 5–15% growth compared to the financial year 2025 (2025: 12.1 million euros).

Basis for the guidance

For the real estate business, revenue growth is expected to remain stable. For ancillary services, revenue growth is expected to be more moderate compared to the previous year's growth.

The growth investments already made and planned in the self-storage business support profitable growth, but they are expected to have a temporary, negative impact on the relative profitability of the real estate business during 2026. The acquisition of the moving services business carried out at the beginning of the 2026 financial year is expected to have a slightly negative effect on the relative profitability of ancillary services.

The guidance is based on the assumption that no significant changes occur in the operating environment during the financial year.

Financial targets

The Board of Directors of Cityvarasto has set the following financial and operational targets for the five-year review period starting at the end of 2024 and ending at the end of 2029:

  • Growth: The average annual growth of the Group’s revenue is over 12% during the review period.
  • Profitability: The Group’s EBITDA margin exceeds 50% during the review period.
  • Investments: The Group’s investments average approximately EUR 10 million per year during the review period.
  • Facilities: The number of self-storage facilities is approximately 100 at the end of the review period.
  • Leverage: The Group’s LTV ratio remains below 35% during the review period.

The key performance indicators related to financial targets at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

  • The average annual revenue growth (CAGR) was 18.0% as of 30 September 2026.
  • The adjusted EBITDA margin for the 12-month period ending 30 September 2026 was 41.4%.
  • The Group’s investments averaged EUR 11.3 million per year in January 2025–September 2026.
  • The number of self-storage facilities at the end of the period was 84.
  • The Group’s loan-to-value ratio as of 30 September 2026 was 19.7%.

CEO's review

Our most important theme in the third quarter was strengthening profitability. Earlier in the year, we invested in growth. We have now focused on streamlining our operations and capturing synergies, and the effects of these measures were already clearly visible in our results. The Group's adjusted EBITDA returned to growth, increasing by 10.9%. At the same time, our growth remained strong. Revenue grew by 10.6% in the third quarter, with both segments increasing their sales.

The real estate business performed particularly strongly. The segment's adjusted EBITDA increased by 17.2%, and its adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 57.0% (54.3%). In addition to revenue growth, profitability was improved by the reorganization of operations carried out earlier in the year and other efficiency measures. As a result of these measures, the scalability of the business was reflected more clearly than before in our results for the period.

Profitability in ancillary services also improved significantly from the first half of the year. The gap in the segment's adjusted EBITDA compared to the comparison period narrowed to 5.6% in the third quarter from 32.5% in the six-month period. The improvement in profitability was supported by the reorganization of operations, more precise targeting of PakuOvelle.com's marketing investments and other cost-efficiency measures in both businesses.

In July, we acquired the self-storage business of Kenguruvarastot, and at the end of September a warehouse property in Kangasala. The Kangasala property is fully leased to a single user and generates positive cash flow from the completion of the transaction. After the reporting period, we acquired a property of approximately 15,000 m² in Vallila, Helsinki. It is one of the most significant investments in our company's history, and we see strong long-term potential in the property. These investments further strengthen our position as the leading player in the industry in Finland and support our profitable growth journey, also through economies of scale.

In October, the company carried out a share buyback programme. The decision reflects our confidence in the company's future, our strategy and our ability to create shareholder value over the long term.

I look ahead to the rest of the year with confidence. The third quarter showed that we are able to grow and improve our profitability at the same time. A strong balance sheet, a growing property portfolio and continuously developing services create excellent conditions for continued profitable growth in the years ahead.
