Platzer's CEO, P-G Persson, comments:

"The property deals we concluded during 2014 coupled with the interest rate
levels that were lower than the same period last year, mean that the operating
surplus increased by 7% and the income from management operations by 20% in the
first quarter. At the same time, major conversion projects in existing
properties mean that the rate of increase was held down due to emptying premises
for conversion. The effect on the profit from the new leasing contracts that
have been signed will be seen first at the end of 2015 and the start of 2016."

"The changes in value in the first quarter are a combination of leases and
projects in existing, central properties and lowered yields in a few central
properties, which results in the values increasing in these properties. There is
a clear trend for downward pressure on the yields in the deals that are
concluded or on the way to be concluded in the Gothenburg area, as a consequence
of the supply not being sufficient to match the demand."
