<5% rental income exposure to tenants in risk groups>
32% higher e-commerce in March compared with February
’20e P/EPRA NAV of 146% vs sector at 81%
Limited exposure to tenants in risk groupsWe hosted a video conference with the company on Thurs 14 May. Catena believes that the rental market has recovered after a standstill during the second half of March, and says it has ongoing discussions with potential new tenants. According to the company, it has SEK 14m of rental income to renegotiate for the rest of 2020.

The company has a limited exposure to tenants in risk groups (tenants within events, sports and fashion retail amount to <5%).>

Catena has a land bank of 5 million sqm and an investment value of SEK 14bn, which it aims to develop over more than ten years.
