Interim Report January – September 2018

• Gross profit from property management rose by 3 per cent to SEK 972 million (944). The increase can be attributed mainly to higher rental revenue.

• Profit after tax for the period was SEK 3,137 million (2,132), equivalent to SEK 15.21 per share (10.33). The increase can be attributed mainly to higher unrealized changes in the value of the property holdings, and a deferred tax recalculation following a reduction in corporation tax.
