Strategy and financial targets

In 2019-2023, Toivo has operated with a develop, build and own business model focusing solely on housing.
Toivo has identified that:

The typical duration of the Develop phase is 2-4 years. This phase commits capital of approximately 0-5% of the total value of the project. The return on equity in Develop is 0-50%.
The typical duration of the Build phase is 1 year. This phase commits capital of approximately 20-50% of the total value of the project. The return on equity in Build is 20-50%.
The typical duration of the Own phase is over 50 years. This phase commits capital of approximately 40% of the total value of the project. The return on equity in Own is 5-10%.
In the Sell phase, the company releases capital from the properties it owns for development and construction.

Toivo has added the Sell phase to its strategy, which is all about using equity more efficiently and reallocating it to the most profitable phases. The new strategy also provides better protection against the impact of changes in interest rates, as the ratio of external debt to the volume of operations decreases.

Strategy since 2024

Development, construction, ownership and sale of residential and social properties.
Toivo only owns and builds buildings that we have developed and designed ourselves. This allows us to make the best possible contribution to building efficiency, optimal quality, productivity and salability right from the start.
