In April 2019, the Fund's net profit was 251 thousand euros (in March: 450 thousand euros). The lower net profit was related to the income tax expense associated with the announcement of dividends and the adjustment of deferred tax liability in subsidiaries in Lithuania.

During the first four months of this year, EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS has earned 3.1 million euros in sales revenue (15% and 410 thousand more than in the same period last year), which has come from new investments (Evolution office building, sales and service premises of ABC Motors) and the increase in rental income on the DSV Latvia after the extension.

Based on the fund's dividend policy, which stipulates that at least 80% of the free cash flow will be distributed to the shareholders, the Fund could pay dividends based on the first four months of 2019 in the amount of 843 thousand euros (26 cents per share).
