During the first quarter of 2025, INVL Baltic Real Estate, hereinafter referred to as the Company, recorded an unaudited consolidated net profit of EUR 0.14 million with total revenue reaching EUR 0.93 million. This shows a contrast to the same period last year, where the net profit stood at EUR 0.22 million and the revenue at EUR 1.05 million. The decline in net profit and revenue can largely be attributed to the strategic sale of a portion of the Dommo Biznesa Parks property completed in late 2024.
