CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Property management1

Gross profit for the year totalled SEK 626.7 million (550.8), an increase of 13.8 per cent. The increase can be explained by higher rents, lower rental losses on vacant space and lower maintenance costs. Net rents from property management during the period amounted to SEK 890.3 million (810.3).

The turnover-based rent supplement at the NK department stores is reported in the fourth quarter. The turnover-based rent supplement for the previous year was SEK 10.3 million. Apart from this there are no seasonal variations in rents.

The property management profit for each business area is reported on page 7.

Reported discontinued operations

After the sale in December 2006 of the World Trade Center in Stockholm, i.e. Vasaterminalen AB with the subsidiaries World Trade Center Stockholm AB and WTC Parkering AB, the operations at WTC were classified as discontinued operations. The completion date was February 1, 2007. This means that Profit from discontinued operations for the period January-September 2007 refers to an adjustment of the purchase sum and for the same period in 2006 to the result from WTC.

Other operations

Other operations include parking operations at Parkaden in Stockholm.

Net revenue amounted to SEK 44.4 million (38.3), expenses amounted to SEK 33.9 million (33.5) and gross profit amounted to SEK 10.5 million (4.8).

Other Income Statement items

Central administration totalled SEK -21.6 million (-20.4). Changes in the value of investment properties totalled SEK 1,208.4 million (539.5) and in interest derivatives SEK 13.1 million (0.0).

Financial income and expense

Net financial income and expense amounted to SEK -90.6 million (-104.2). The improved net financial income and expense can be attributed to interest income on the payment received from the sale of the World Trade Center.

Tax

The Group's tax (current and deferred) for the period totalled SEK -489.3 million (-277.9), of which SEK -106.8 million was current tax and SEK -382.5 million deferred tax.

Profit for the period

Profit for the period after tax was SEK 1,263.8 million (785.3).

1 The acquired property Rännilen 15 is included with effect from June 1, 2007. The World Trade Center is reported as discontinued operations. Otherwise, the property holdings remain unchanged compared with the same period the previous year.

ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

On May 14, 2007 an agreement was signed regarding the acquisition of the property Rännilen 15 at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm. The purchase sum was SEK 312.5 million and the completion date was June 1, 2007. This means that Hufvudstaden now has all properties on the Rännilen block. Following a property adjustment, the property Rännilen 15 became part of Rännilen 19 in October 2007.

The total investments in properties and equipment during the period was SEK 434.2 million (143.8).

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

The fair value of the Hufvudstaden property portfolio as of September 30, 2007 was set at SEK 19.0 billion (17.4 at the turn of the year). The increase can be attributed to unrealized changes in value, the acquisition of Rännilen 15 and investments in the property portfolio. The rentable floor space was 353,863 square metres (350,895 at the turn of the year). The total floor space vacancy level as of September 30 was 5.7 per cent (8.1 at the turn of the year) and the total rental vacancy level was 4.6 per cent (6.5 at the turn of the year).

Property value and net asset value

At the turn of each year Hufvudstaden makes an internal valuation of the fair value of each individual property. The assessment is made using a valuation according to the direct yield method as a basis. To assure the values, external valuations are obtained for part of the property holdings. The internal valuation of the properties is updated continuously during the year with purchases, sales and investments. Hufvudstaden also examines on a continuous basis if there are other indications of changes in the fair value of the properties. This could, for example, take the form of major lettings, terminations and material changes in the yield requirements. In the light of the above, the increase in value of the property holdings at mid-year was SEK 1.2 billion. The total value of the property holdings as of June 30, 2007 was SEK 19.0 billion, including investments. The increase can be explained mainly by an estimated lower direct yield requirement as a result of the continued high interest in commercial properties in central Stockholm and Gothenburg by both Swedish and international investors. The average direct yield requirement for the property holdings was, in conjunction with the above valuation, 4.5 per cent (4.8 at the turn of the year). Apart from investments totalling SEK 62.1 million, no major change in the value of the property holdings is considered to have taken place during the third quarter. Consequently, the fair value of the property holdings as of September 30, 2007 is estimated at SEK 19.0 billion.

Net asset value

Based on the valuation of the property holdings, the net asset value is SEK 13.7 billion or SEK 66 per share after tax. When calculating the net asset value, calculated deferred tax has been used. This was calculated at 10 per cent of the difference between the assessed fair value and the residual value of the properties for tax purposes and was assessed in the

light of current tax legislation, which means that properties can be sold by a limited company without tax implications. The purchaser, however, loses the basis for depreciation, which could justify some compensation, which has been set at 10 per cent. If the tax rate according to the Balance Sheet (28 per cent) is used in the calculation, the net asset value would have been SEK 10.7 billion or SEK 52 per share. If the tax rate is assumed to be 0 per cent, the net asset value would have been SEK 15.3 billion or SEK 74 per share.

RENTAL MARKET

Interest in high-quality office space in prime locations in sub-markets of central Stockholm increased during the period, mainly as a result of the positive economic growth in Sweden and the Stockholm region. Vacant space for this type of property has fallen and rents have risen. For office leases in Stockholm's most attractive locations within the Golden Triangle, at Norrmalmstorg/Hamngatan and in the Hötorg area, rents were noted of SEK 3,800-5,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. Interest in well-situated retail premises in the same sub-markets remained high. Rents for prime location retailing space are in the range SEK 12,000-16,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

Demand for modern, flexible office premises in the central sub-markets of Gothenburg has also increased with a positive growth in rents as a result. However, as in Stockholm, the level of interest in properties of a low standard requiring modernization was weak. Market rents for modern, well-arranged, high-quality office premises in prime locations were between SEK 1,600 and SEK 2,200 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. For prime site retail premises the market rent was SEK 5,000-9,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

The Group's current renegotiations in respect of both retailing and office premises have proceeded in line with our expectations. In total, approximately 30,800 square metres were renegotiated during the period to a value of approximately SEK 123 million. On average, these renegotiations have resulted in an increase in rent of approximately 5 per cent.

FINANCING STRUCTURE

Hufvudstaden's borrowing as at September 30, 2007 amounted to SEK 3,215.0 million (3,365.0 at the turn of the year). The average fixed interest period was 45 months (23 at the turn of the year), the average capital tie-up period was 45 months (33 at the turn of the year) and the average interest cost was 4.4 per cent (4.0 at the turn of the year). Net liabilities amounted to SEK 3,141.6 million (3,324.6 at the turn of the year).

The true value of interest swaps as of September 30 was SEK 53.4 million (17.5 at the turn of the year). The change in value of financial instruments from December 31, 2006 up to and including September 30, 2007 affected the Income Statement by SEK 13.1 million or SEK 9.5 million after tax and the hedge reserve in equity by SEK 16.4 million after tax. Interest swaps were previously reported as cash flow hedges, which meant that changes in value were reported against equity. With effect from the second quarter 2007, new interest swap agreements are reported either as cash flow hedges or as a change in value through profit and loss.

THIRD QUARTER2

The gross profit on Property Management amounted to SEK 211.4 million (188.8). The increase can be explained by higher rents, lower rental losses for vacant premises and lower maintenance costs. The net rents amounted to SEK 308.9 million (268.2). Property management costs amounted to SEK 97.5 million (79.4). The rising costs can be explained by the increase in property tax as a result of the increased tax assessment values. The cost of property tax has largely been passed on to the tenants,

The gross profit for Other operations amounted to SEK 2.8 million (2.2). Net revenue amounted to SEK 14.1 million (12.8) and operating costs to SEK 11.3 million (10.6).

Changes in value in investment properties amounted to SEK 0.0 million (0.0) and in interest derivatives to SEK -4.0 million (0.0).

NEW BUSINESS AREA DIVISION

Following the sale of the World Trade Center, the number of business areas in the Group has been reduced to three: Stockholm City East, Stockholm City West and Gothenburg. The former business area NK, with the NK department stores in Stockholm and Gothenburg, is now part of the Stockholm City West business area.

MATERIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

The Group is mainly exposed to financing, interest and credit risks and to changes in value of the property holdings. The Company has not identified any material risks and uncertainties other than those described in the Annual Report.

KEY TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

PARENT COMPANY

PROFIT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Net revenue amounted to SEK 548.0 million (495.9). The profit for the period after net financial income and expense was SEK 185.4 million (106.8). The increase can be explained by reduced costs for vacant space and lower maintenance costs. The net financial income and expense has been improved as a result of interest income on the payment received from the WTC sale.

Liquid funds at the period-end amounted to SEK 73.2 million (135.3). Investments in property and equipment during the period amounted to SEK 335.9 million (41.1).

MATERIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

The Company is mainly exposed to financing, interest and credit risks. The Company has not identified any material risks and uncertainties other than those described in the Annual Report.

KEY TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Apart from the dividend to the shareholders no key transactions have taken place with related parties.
