Strong value growth yielded record earnings


Profit after tax for 2015 was SEK 3,232m (1,738), corresponding to earnings per
share of SEK 19.54 (10.51). Rental income declined to SEK 1,998m (2,087), due to
a smaller property portfolio than in 2014. In an identical portfolio, income
rose slightly more than 3 per cent. Investments, rising market rents and lower
yield requirements in the market contributed to a high surplus ratio and strong
value growth in the property portfolio.
Stable cash flow and excellent value growth in both the property management
portfolio and through project development contributed to the strong profit. Net
asset value growth, EPRA NAV, increased SEK 20 during the year and ended up at
SEK 115 per share. Net lettings amounted to SEK 74m and re-negotiations resulted
in a 12 per cent increase in the rental value of renegotiated leases.

“The strong market and the efforts of our dedicated employees contributed to the
highly favourable earnings trend. At the same time as the unrest globally is
continuing to keep interest rates at a low level, it appears that the Swedish
market will remain strong in the year ahead too. This means that I see excellent
potential to deliver strong results in 2016 as well,” says Christian Hermelin,
CEO Fabege.
