CorrectionInterim report january-september 2018

The correction is due to an incorrectly recorded interest expense attributable to an error in an acquisition purchase price. The correction amounts to SEK 33 million and is not deemed to be material, but the company still wishes to correct the number to prove correct period outcomes. The incorrectness was detected by an audit effort in the subsidiary Heimstaden Bostad. At the same time, an incorrect classification is corrected, where a currency translation is incorrectly classified as Financial Cost - Interest-bearing liabilities and moved to Other financial expenses, without impact on earnings.

” A month ago, Heimstaden’s personnel gathered for a shared kick-off. We discussed our values and corporate culture, our vision and goals, and we committed ourselves to these. We gazed into the future with inspirational futurologists and we held panel discussions on sustainability, social responsibility and customer experience”

“It’s not often I am moved to the extent it gives me goosebumps, but that’s precisely what happened during these days. It was amazing to feel this broad commitment from more than 300 employees from Sweden, Denmark and Norway. I never cease to be fascinated by all the good ideas and wise solutions to daily challenges, as well as the genuine desire to deliver the best-possible customer experience to all of our tenants.

Thank you all for making a difference by being sincere, thoughtful and innovative”, states Patrik Hall, CEO of Heimstaden.

” With a property portfolio spanning Sweden, Denmark and Norway, and with acquisitions agreed in Berlin, Germany, we have now, after analysing the market for some time, also completed our first acquisition in Utrecht, in the Netherlands. Utrecht is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands and is located about 35 kilometres south of Amsterdam”, continues Patrik Hall.
