Rental growth and value increases produce strong earnings

After-tax profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,665m (705). Rental income
increased to SEK 519m (502) as a result of completed project properties
generating revenue. In an identical portfolio, income rose by 4 per cent.
Investments, rising market rents and lower yield requirements on the market
contributed to strong value growth in the property portfolio.
Increased rental income and lower interest expenses led to a 16 per cent
increase in profit from property management. Persistently declining yield
requirements on the property market and value-adding projects paved the way for
continued strong value growth in the property portfolio.

“Stockholm’s healthy growth and companies’ shift in focus in favour of quality
are benefitting the rental trend in our areas. At the start of the year, we also
noted that positive market conditions, with high demand on the rental market,
low market interest rates and rising rent levels are persisting, paving the way
for strong earnings for 2016. Our ambition is for 2016 to be Fabege’s most
exciting year yet,” comments Fabege’s CEO, Christian Hermelin.
