Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO
“In 2015, the net asset value growth was 20 percent! This was generated through
our own work in new construction projects, strong letting activities and by
having our costs in focus. I can state that an increasingly large proportion of
the sharp increase in value is coming from our new construction projects. During
the year, we replenished our land reservations with several major exciting urban
development projects. Our project portfolio now consists of many interesting
development areas and projects in our regions and includes thousands of future
apartments.”

“Completion of the newly produced rental properties is also having a positive
impact on income from property management, which increased by 14 percent during
2015. During the fourth quarter, the increase was 24 percent. In a nutshell, our
business is performing very well! The shareholders will also get participate in
the company’s excellent performance through the Board’s proposed dividend of SEK
1.50 per share, an increase of 33 percent.”
