Significant events after the End of the Q1
- A directed share issue of approx. 7.1 MSEK was completed.
- Condo completed an asset purchase deal of the Gothenburg business of HOMEState
- A LoI about purchasing West Coast Stay was signed
- Suomen majoituspalvelu Oy (SMP) was sold from Condo Finland Oy to the mother company of the group, Condo Nordic Holding AB by an internal transaction. The purpose of this transaction is to clarify the group structure and easen the reporting. Furthermore, SMP has cancelled the own shares it has owned which improved SMP’s equity position.
Q1/2025 was the start of the first full fiscal year as a listed company for Condo and Q1 will be the last quarter where the comparison numbers are from a non-listed company. The first quarter of the calendar year has traditionally been the most quiet and Q1/2025 made no exception.
However the EBITDA and profit had very positive development compared to Q1/2024 and especially the significant increase in the sales margin is a very positive signal and indicates the impacts of more accurate pricing of the projects.
We are excited about completion of the transactions for entering the Swedish market, which we believe will show positive cash flow and profits for the group. This expansion represents a crucial step in our long-term strategy to establish Condo as a leading provider of project accommodation solutions across the Nordic region.
Business Highlights
The original business was founded in 2017; Condo’s business in Finland specialises in providing tailored housing solutions for project teams, serving corporate clients with stays ranging from several months to years. Our customer base is built on trust, supported by a robust network of lease providers in Finland and partnerships across Europe. In addition to project accommodation, our parent company, Condo Nordic Holding AB, is developing a portfolio of permanently furnished apartments in major cities to address the growing demand for short-term accommodation among retail customers.
The company’s treasury position was significantly improved by the completion of the direct issue. The company is also looking for options to re-structure the external loans. Management remains focused on strengthening liquidity, improving sales margins, cutting costs and ensuring a sustainable path forward.
Condo Nordic Holding AB has identified key trends driving demand for our offerings:
By staying attuned to these market dynamics and leveraging our strengths, we can drive sustainable growth and create lasting value for our shareholders.

Financial development
January - March 2025
In Q1/2025, net sales decreased by approximately 8% to SEK 4.2 million (compared to SEK 4.6 million in the same period the previous year).
The gross profit for Q1/2025 reached SEK 1.7 million, reflecting a slight increase from SEK 1.4 million during the corresponding period last year.
EBITDA amounted to SEK -0.3 (-1.2) million for the period. This increase can be attributed to better sales margins and reduced fixed-cost structure.
The result after financial items in Q1/2025 amounted to SEK -1.0 million (-1.6), corresponding to a negative margin. The negative margin is primarily due to lower-than-expected sales.
The period's result after tax amounted to SEK -1.0 (-1.6) million.

The Condo Nordic Holding Group includes the parent company Condo Nordic Holding AB (CIT 559432-1571) and its subsidiary Condo Finland Oy (CIT 2777073-4), which has a wholly owned subsidiary, Suomen Majoituspalvelu Oy (CIT 2558565-8). The parent company is a Swedish public limited company whose board is based in the municipality of Stockholm. The company's registered address is ℅ Aalto Capital, Riddargatan 17, 114 57 Stockholm.
Condo Nordic Holding AB prepares its accounts according to the Annual Accounts Act and the Accounting Board's general advice, BFNAR 2012:1, which includes the Annual report and consolidated accounts (K3).
Condo Nordic Holding AB's acquisition of Condo Finland Oy is reported in the consolidated accounts according to the rules on reverse acquisition. Condo Finland Oy is reported as the acquiring company even though Condo Nordic Holding AB is, legally speaking, the parent company.
Since Condo group was only listed in Spotlight in July 2024, the group's comparative figures for Q1/2024 refer to the legal Finnish subsidiaries Condo Finland Oy and Suomen Majoituspalvelu Oy as the current parent company Condo Nordic Holding AB did not exist then.
Preparing the report requires that company management make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and costs. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and judgments, which are reviewed regularly.
At the end of the period, the group had three full-time employees, all men. Thus, the number of permanent employees has decreased significantly as part of building a less fixed-cost-based cost structure.
There is an outstanding loan of 370 kEUR to Opema Oy, owned by Ilkka Holmlund at 55%, Ville Valorinta at 30%, and Karri Rantasila at 15%. The original plan was for Opema to expand its hotel business and eventually merge with Condo. However, due to the post-COVID environment, Opema required working capital to keep developing the hotel business. To meet this need, it was decided that Condo would provide the necessary working capital through a loan to Opema. Later, in late 2023, a decision was made for Condo to focus on project accommodation and furnished apartments exclusively. As a result, the hotel business was never merged into Condo. Opema was declared bankrupt after the end of Q1. To mitigate the credit risk to the company, one of Condo's owners, Feiholm Invest Oy, has committed to indemnify Condo. As part of this guarantee, Feiholm has pledged shares as collateral and will cover any credit losses incurred by Condo. There are also personal guarantees by some of the shareholders of Feiholm Oy for the receivable. Hence there is no need for any write-downs at this point.
Q1 has traditionally been difficult from cash flow point of view and hence the company has entered in payment plan negotiations with some suppliers and partners. The board is confident that solutions to manage the payments and cash flow can be found.
The Listing Memorandum for Condo Nordic Holding AB on the Spotlight Stock Market in July 2024 describes the group's overall risk assessment.
The group's auditor has not reviewed this interim report.
