Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO

”The operations went according to plan during the first quarter and all numbers are pointing in the right direction: revenue and net operating income increased, income from property management improved by more than 10 percent and net asset value growth was also higher than the year-earlier period. Our new construction projects also started well in early 2016 and we expect to reach 7,500 apartments by the end of 2018, in accordance with our business plan.”

”I can confirm that more than 70 percent of the increase in the value of properties comes from our investments in new construction. Apart from the increases in value, we also see positive effects from new construction in our income from property management. Looking ahead, an increasing proportion of the value growth in our properties and of the improvement in income from property management is also expected to come from new construction projects.”
