CEO Andreas Philipson comments

In the second quarter, we continued to focus on completing the zoning plan and development contract for Haga Norra. Accordingly, this work involves no major changes since the beginning of the year. The zoning plan was exhibited ahead of the summer, and its definitive approval by the City of Solna is expected in the fall. This process is a key component for us being able to realize the future Haga Norra, with new housing and workplaces.

The response has been positive in the ongoing letting work to find tenants for the site. We also believe strongly that Haga Norra is attractive. It is centrally located in the new Solna-Stockholm district, which is an up-and-coming area between Hagastaden, Frösunda, the Mall of Scandinavia and the National Arena.

We also strengthened our organization, appointing Lars Lindvall as our new CFO. Lars’ previous positions include being an accounting and corporate consultant, as well as holding executive positions in the Norsk Hydro group.

Otherwise, operating activities progressed as planned, with continued stable cash flow from tenants. Profit before tax was SEK 17.9 M, compared to SEK 32.6 M in the corresponding period of the previous year. The difference is mainly in a lower value increase on properties. We have unchanged property values compared to the first quarter. Compared to a year ago, the difference is an increase of SEK 73 M.
