Comparisons in brackets refer to the corresponding period for the previous year unless otherwise specified. Comment from Hans Wallenstam, Managing Director “Operations are proceeding well, the surplus ratio is increasing, and the 25 per cent improvement in income from management operations is tremendously positive. This was in spite of property sales, which have a negative effect on income from management operations in the short term.” “I’m extremely pleased with our new construction of homes. We’re increasing the rate as planned and we currently have just over 1,600 apartments under construction. Our substantial and exciting project portfolio allows us to maintain an investment level of SEK 2–3 billion per year aimed at providing the market a product in great demand and creating value growth through our own efforts.” “It’s gratifying that the Board proposes raising the dividend to SEK 2.25 per share. This is 80 per cent higher than the 2014 ordinary dividend of SEK 1.25 per share, which was supplemented by an SEK 0.75 one-time bonus per share for achieving the business plan. It reflects our faith in Wallenstam’s future.” For the complete report, please refer to the attached PDF.
