Comment from Hans Wallenstam, Managing Director

“Operations are proceeding well, the surplus ratio is increasing, and the 25 per
cent improvement in income from management operations is tremendously positive.
This was in spite of property sales, which have a negative effect on income from
management operations in the short term.”

“I’m extremely pleased with our new construction of homes. We’re increasing the
rate as planned and we currently have just over 1,600 apartments under
construction. Our substantial and exciting project portfolio allows us to
maintain an investment level of SEK 2–3 billion per year aimed at providing the
market a product in great demand and creating value growth through our own
efforts.”

“It’s gratifying that the Board proposes raising the dividend to SEK 2.25 per
share. This is 80 per cent higher than the 2014 ordinary dividend of SEK 1.25
per share, which was supplemented by an SEK 0.75 one-time bonus per share for
achieving the business plan. It reflects our faith in Wallenstam’s future.”
