 Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO:

“We generated an increase in net asset value of SEK 9 per share during the first calendar year in the new business plan, of the SEK 40 which is our goal for 2023. Income from property management increased by 10 percent to just over SEK 1.1 billion and the surplus ratio came in at 75.5 percent. These are really excellent numbers, which once again show how well the operations and our business model are working.”

“The strong demand for properties is affecting yield requirements and consequently also the valuation of the property holdings. The changes in value of our properties amounted to SEK 2.6 billion in 2019. It is extra satisfying to see that the changes in value from our efficient new production are making an increasing contribution to our value growth.”
