and an adjusted EBITDA of NOK 44.7 million (41.9). The company continues to
experience limited business impact from the Covid-19 situation, has a solid
balance sheet and targets accelerated growth by opening 12,000-14,000 lettable
m2 in 2021.
“We delivered another strong quarter ending a positive and busy year with solid
organic revenue and EBITDA growth, including the successful development of new
facilities and new property acquisitions. The business continues to experience
limited impact from the Covid-19 situation, proving the resilience and
robustness of our business model”, says Fabian Søbak, Chief Executive Officer of
Self Storage Group.
The all-time high revenue follows opening of new facilities and expansions, in
addition to growth in occupancy for facilities open for more than a year. The
average occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2020 for sites with more than 12
months of operation was 85.6% (82.8%) and the average rent per m2 was NOK 2 319
per year (2 375).
“We have a proven track-record of developing an attractive portfolio of self
-storage facilities, leveraging on a lean and operationally-focused
organization. In 2021 we target to open 12,000 to 14,000 lettable m2”, Søbak
says.
The fair value of freehold investment properties was NOK 1,457 million as of 31
December 2020. The change in fair value of freehold investment properties was
NOK 83.4 million in the fourth quarter 2020 (as compared with NOK 12.5 million
in the same period in the year prior).
Self Storage Group announced on 21 January 2021, subsequent to the fourth
quarter 2020, the acquisition of Adamstuen Garasjer AS in Oslo. The property,

4,300 m2 leasehold, has an estimated lettable area of 8,100 m2, enabling the
company to significantly expand its operations over time. Self Storage Group
also signed a term-sheet for a bank facility loan with Handelsbanken and Danske
Bank, giving the company flexibility for future growth.
“Self Storage Group is one of the leading providers of self-storage facilities
in Scandinavia: a market that is driven by urbanization and smaller living
spaces resulting in an increased need for external storage solutions. The Group
has delivered robust growth over the past three years as a listed company,
delivering on the benefits of scale, strong brands and a unique combination of
customer-oriented and automated business model. The company has a solid balance
sheet and is well positioned to leverage its platform for future growth”, says
Steven Skaar, Chairman of Self Storage Group.
