Peter Hallgren, President and CEO: • Catena’s earnings improved significantly during the period. Rental revenue increased by 8.1 per cent and income from property management rose by 36 per cent compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year. The increases are attributable to favorable new letting, a savings program that is beginning to yield results and significantly lower financing expenses. The occupancy rate remained high at 97.2 per cent. • Catena’s operations have been marginally affected by the recession. In 2009, rental losses due to a bankruptcy and a company reorganization comprised about 0.5 per cent of rental revenue. Catena’s property values were relatively marginally affected in 2009, while the decline in value was slightly more than 10 per cent in 2008. • Catena continues its strategy of investing in and improving its property portfolio. The property in Haninge has been upgraded to a modern automotive facility with several auto brands. The renovation was completed in September.
