Comments from the CEO

2014 has been a particularly eventful year for D. Carnegie & Co. Since its listing on NASDAQ OMX First North in April, the company has acquired properties valued in excess of SEK 8 billion, of which more than SEK 1 billion occurred during the fourth quarter. In conjunction with the listing, we foresaw a doubling within two years; thus, we have more than amply attained our growth targets.

At the beginning of November, we acquired 1,900 apartments strategically located in i Norrköping. Our own property management Graflunds, has previously handled the entire management and financial reporting in respect of the portfolio, and thus we know that it will generate a stable contribution to income from property management.

Due to the large number of acquisitions at different times during the year, this report does not cover four quarters with comparable results. Therefore, in order nevertheless to provide guidance the company will publish an annual earnings capacity statement as of 1 January 2015 showing current net operating income on that date of SEK 531 million (see also page 16). This does not, however, constitute a forecast as regards the future and does not take into account anticipated changes in rents and changes in costs.

The fact that our Bosystem solution for renovating individual properties functions well and entails that we expect to be able to renovate 7-10% of our portfolio annually is just as important as our high rate of acquisitions. The renovation of an apartment means that the rent can be increased by 30-40%. Over 10 years we can thus increase the rents on our entire portfolio to a corresponding extent.

We are also pleased with the fact that, in connection with the valuation we carried out as of 31 December 2014, an increase in value of just over SEK 278 million was noted during the fourth quarter.

It is also worth mentioning that trading in D. Carnegie & Co’s shares on NASDAQ OMX First North Premier commenced on 11 December 2014.

ULF NILSSON,
CEO of D. Carnegie & Co
