Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO
“The result for the first half of 2016 showed excellent figures and reflected the fact that the operations are performing very well and are continually generating value. Compared to the year-earlier period, rental income increased despite completed divestments, as did net operating income, mainly due to the successful entry of our new construction projects into our management operations. Income from property management increased by 9 percent and one third of the increase in property value, SEK 561 million, was generated through our own new construction work.” 

“We are halfway in the business plan in which our goal is to achieve an average rate of net asset value growth, excluding dividends and repurchases, of at least 10 percent per year. When we decided on the goal for the business plan it was set at a challenging level, and a target that also becomes a little tougher each year during the period. Now when I sum up the first 2.5 years and see that the average net asset value growth in relation to our goal is more than 13 percent, I feel very proud about what we have achieved so far. Now we will work hard through our effective construction and management organization to create more value, generate strong income from property management and good net asset value growth in the next phase of our business plan.”
