Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO:
"An exciting, challenging and brighter year - those were my hopes ahead of 2024. Now that we are closing the books for the year, I can state that my hopes were realized. 2024 was the year when we could see that the numbers turned upwards again. The year when we could increase our new construction, complete key property transactions and where we also took a big step forward as a company when we entered the office market in Stockholm CBD."
"Our business is functioning well and we see a continued good earnings trend where rental income is increasing and operating expenses are decreasing. Income from property management increased by just over 10 percent compared to the previous year. In the fall, we hedged a further large proportion of our interest rates with interest rate derivatives, which has led to a lower average interest rate, which on closing day was 2.54 percent, and a longer fixed interest term, 52 months."
