  − As we summarise the financial results for 2019, I note that Hemsö delivered the strongest cash flow and highest results ever. The strong growth in profit from property management during the year continued into the fourth quarter. For the full year, profit from property management rose 19 per cent to SEK 1.7 billion. In addition to the strong financial results, 2019 was a year in which we built a stronger Hemsö, broadened our partnership with the public sector and laid the foundation for continued growth with new high-quality development projects, says Nils Styf.
