During the quarter, Wallenstam completed 82 apartments in the Kompositören project in Uppsala.
Wallenstam has sold the property New York 8, with 40 apartments, in Stockholm to a housing cooperative established by the tenants for a purchase price of SEK 160 million. Vacation occurred on October 6, 2023.
On November 1, 2023, Wallenstam vacated the recently constructed development property Kvarngärdet 71:1,
comprising 98 apartments in Uppsala. The property was part of the transaction that was carried out with ASPER in summer 2021, where the then project property with the project name Bersån was under development and according to the agreement would be vacated after approved fi nal inspection and fi nal clearance.
During the business plan 2030, Wallenstam has a goal of increasing the net asset value through a continued productive, cost-effi cient and service-oriented business in the growth regions of Gothenburg, Stockholm and Uppsala. Successful letting, effi cient management, value-creating investments, profi table new construction and profi table
transactions will contribute to this net asset value growth. During the business plan, the equity/assets ratio shall not be less than 35 percent.
On December 31, 2023, the net asset value per share amounted to SEK 56.20 (57.40).

Wallenstam stands strong with good liquidity and high demand for our product, even in these turbulent times. The year 2023 began with high infl ation and a Riksbank, which raised its policy rate, something that aff ected both us and the entire property sector during the year. In the second half of 2023, we saw infl ation fall back to levels in line with the Riksbank's target. The decrease in infl ation is explained by the fact that policy makers have actually succeeded in reducing growth and consumption in the economy, which naturally also has a downside. Individuals have faced cuts in real wages for a couple of years and quite a lot of companies are having a tough time. The interest rate is still comparatively high, and the hope is that interest rates will fall during 2024.
In such an external environment, I am very happy to have properties in locations that are sought after! Our apartments are found in attractive areas. Demand is strong, over 280,000 people – in other words more than 2.5 percent of Sweden's population – have registered an interest in our apartments. This is an indication that we have attractive apartments, but also that there is a really enormous need for more housing in the market.
It is noticeable that our commercial premises, which are primarily located in Gothenburg CBD, are attractive, as we made a number of lettings in the fall to stable customers. The occupancy rate for commercial premises in Gothenburg is now 95 percent. I can also state that our customers are happy with us. The surrender rate is 90 percent, which means that nine out of ten tenants choose to remain a customer of ours when their lease expires. This is extremely gratifying!
There were few transactions in the property market during 2023. We have managed to complete a few, and we also settled previously made agreements. Now as the interest rate is stabilizing, it is my belief that the number of transactions in the property market will gradually increase somewhat. Wallenstam has the fi nancial strength to both buy and sell, and to hopefully be in a position to take advantage of the opportunities presented. Against this backdrop, Erik Klang, Business Strategist, is joining our Group Management.
Income from property management has decreased during the year, and this is primarily attributable to the increase in our interest expense, but also to the fact that the electricity expenses in our management operations have gone up radically. However, the higher electricity prices are off set by our own electricity production, which means that it is cost-neutral for the Group but it has a negative impact on our property management. In 2024, we expect that both the electricity price and interest rates will fall.
Wallenstam is fi nancially strong with an equity/assets ratio of 46 percent. We have a total of 98 percent of our fi nancing in the form of bank loans from Swedish banks and the European Investment Bank and almost 60 percent of our loans are hedged using interest rate derivatives. During the quarter, we have also extended our interest rate derivatives in order to increase the fi xed interest term and thereby further strengthen our fi nancial position.
Our construction of new rental apartments has unfortunately decreased in line with the increasing global turbulence. During the year, we have adapted our new construction operations so that the organization matches the decrease in the number of project starts. We now see that the increase in construction costs has stagnated and this means that we are once again looking to start new construction projects. I hope to be able to return soon with concrete news regarding construction starts and this feels both hopeful and gratifying, particularly in view of the acute housing need in our locations.
There are many challenges regarding our new construction in terms of costs, but it is also a challenge to build as sustainably as possible. In 2023, we have also worked on preparing ourselves for upcoming reporting requirements according to the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Both the CSRD and the EU's taxonomy regulation will be compulsory for us in fi nancial year 2025. Since last year, we have voluntarily chosen to report how large a share of our assets is defi ned as sustainable under the EU taxonomy. Here I can happily confi rm an improvement: 42 percent of our turnover is taxonomyaligned, compared to 37 percent in the previous year.
Despite unusually tough challenges in 2023, Wallenstam's business has functioned well, thanks to engaged and perseverant employees and I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished together in the entire organization during the year. Wallenstam has fantastic properties and a stable fi nancial position, and I am looking forward to an exciting, challenging and hopefully brighter 2024!

Rental income in the fourth quarter increased by SEK 67 million and amounted to SEK 694 million (627). Adjusted for transactions, the increase was SEK 75 million, where just over 50 percent came from added properties and larger projects and the remainder from comparable properties. The increase in comparable holdings primarily consisted of rent increases from indexations and rent negotiations as well as higher extra charges due to increased property tax and higher electricity prices.
Operating expenses amounted to SEK 212 million (179), an increase of SEK 33 million compared to the same quarter last year. Just over half of the increase was due to higher electricity prices in 2023 and the remainder was a result of general price increases in addition to higher repair and maintenance costs. Since the Group is a net electricity producer, the higher electricity expenses in our property operations do not mean a cost increase for the Group overall as an equivalent increase in revenue is found under other income. Seasonal costs were almost SEK 2 million higher compared to the same quarter in 2022, as a result of colder weather. Net operating income increased by almost 8 percent and amounted to SEK 482 million (448), which corresponds to a surplus ratio in the quarter of 69.5 percent (71.4).
Management costs and administrative expenses are distributed among property management, SEK 75 million (68), property transactions SEK 3 million (7), and energy management SEK 1 million (1) and were aff ected by non-recurring costs of SEK 7 million (0) for changes aimed at adapting the organization to prevailing market conditions. Project management costs of SEK 36 million (-) were also reported in the quarter within changes in value, investment properties, for which a comparative fi gure is lacking as these expenditures are normally part of the buildings' acquisition value. As the conditions did not allow for construction to the desired extent, these expenditures have instead been expensed.
Net fi nancial items investment properties amounted to SEK -196 million (-121) where the average interest rate for the quarter amounted to 3.29 percent (2.01). Capitalized interest amounted to SEK 25 million (25).
Income from property management amounted to SEK 211 million (259).
Revenue from sales of development properties amounted to SEK 324 million (17) and mainly included the sale of Kvarngärdet 71:1.
The property valuation was aff ected in the quarter by increased yield requirements and updated property operation data corresponding to the expected levels of rents and operating expenses for 2024. The properties' yield requirements have been raised for a number of properties compared to the previous quarter. For residential properties, the change is 10–30 points and for commercial properties the change is 10 points. Changes in value during the quarter amounted to SEK -37 million (-3,001).
Swap interest rates have fallen during the quarter, which gave a negative change in value on our interest rate derivatives of SEK -903 million (-49).
Profi t after tax for the fourth quarter of 2023 amounted to SEK -492 million (-1,801), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK -0.7 (-2.7).
Income from property management amounted to SEK 1,040 million (1,252). Profi t after tax for the period amounted to SEK -450 million (1,103), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK -0.7 (1.7).
Rental income for the period increased by SEK 240 million and amounted to SEK 2,730 million (2,490). Adjusted for transactions, the increase was SEK 284 million where just over 40 percent came from added properties and larger projects and the remainder from comparable properties. The increase in comparable holdings primarily consisted of rent increases from indexations and rent negotiations as well as higher extra charges due to increased property tax and higher electricity prices.
The year's rent negotiations for the residential holdings have been mainly eff ective from the fi rst quarter of 2023. On average, the year's agreements mean a rent increase for apartments of 3.3 percent in total.
The rents in the commercial holdings were impacted by indexations and new lettings. In comparable holdings, the base rent for commercial increased by 9.1 percent compared to the previous year.
Wallenstam's revenue is evenly distributed between residential properties and commercial premises. The residential property holdings are fully let. Our commercial properties are mainly situated in central locations in Gothenburg, with offi ces as the largest type of commercial premises. The surrender rate, which refl ects how large a proportion of the cancellable leases are extended, amounted to 90 percent (91). Our occupancy rate for commercial in terms of lettable area amounted to 92 percent on closing day. In Gothenburg, where the majority of our commercial fl oor space is located, the occupancy rate is 95 percent.
In September, the Group received support from the Swedish Government of SEK 20 million for electricity, of which the part that was equivalent to the discounts provided to tenants with submetering is reported against Rental income, just over SEK 9 million in total, and the remainder is reported against Other income.
Seasonal eff ects at Wallenstam consist mainly of variable operating expenses, which are usually highest during quarters one and four when expenses for heating and property maintenance are generally higher.
Operating expenses for the period amounted to SEK 730 million (602). Approximately two thirds of the increase was due to higher electricity expenses as a result of higher electricity prices. Since the Group is a net electricity producer, the higher electricity expenses in our property operations are off set by an equivalent increase in income within electricity revenue under Other income so the higher electricity expenses do not mean a cost increase for the Group overall. Weather-related expenses were SEK 6 million higher during the period compared to the same period in the previous year.
Net operating income increased by SEK 112 million. The surplus ratio amounted to 73.3 percent (75.8).
Management costs and administrative expenses are distributed among property management SEK 293 million (272), energy management SEK 11 million (6) and property transactions SEK 13 million (19). In addition to this, the Group has project management expenditures totaling SEK 98 million (105), of which SEK 62 million (105) was capitalized and SEK 36 million (-) was expensed in change in


value, investment properties, owing to the fact that several new construction projects had to be postponed. The year was aff ected by non-recurring costs of SEK 10 million (1) for changes aimed at adapting the organization to prevailing market conditions.
Financial income amounted to SEK 7 million (6) and fi nancial expenses totaled SEK 726 million (385), and are distributed among investment properties in operation SEK 675 million (370), expensed project-related interest SEK 13 million (-) and other SEK 38 million (14) which mainly consists of wind power and fi nancial investments. Capitalized interest amounted to SEK 129 million (81).
The average debt was SEK 0.7 billion higher than yearend. The average interest rate for the year was 2.89 percent compared to 1.55 percent in the same period last year, due to rising market interest rates.
Other income amounted to SEK 273 million (283) and other expenses totaled SEK -176 million (-156). The Group's electricity production as well as additional other income and expenses are recognized as other income and other expenses. For 2023, Swedish Government support for electricity is included of almost SEK 11 million while the previous year included non-recurring income of SEK 69 million from the sale of wind turbines.
The electricity price is higher compared with the same period of the previous year, and a share of the sales is made to the Group's own properties. Electricity production amounted to 292 GWh (338). The decrease in production was mainly due to the divestment of 13 wind turbines in May 2022 (39 GWh). In comparable holdings, production decreased by 7 GWh due to less wind in 2023.
Changes in value during the year amounted to SEK -847 million (-2,627).
The average yield requirements on closing day, which re-
fer to the properties owned on each closing day, amounted to 4.6 percent (4.6) for the commercial holdings and to 3.6 percent (3.5) for residential properties in operation. During the year, yield requirements have been raised for a number of properties by 10–30 points. Added properties have a marginal impact on the average yield requirement.
The change in value of fi nancial instruments includes changes in value of interest rate derivatives and holdings of listed and unlisted shares that constitute fi nancial investments.
The value of interest rate derivatives developed negatively during the period, SEK -874 million (1,908), due to falling interest rate levels. On closing day, the 10-year swap rate amounted to 2.34 percent, compared to 3.12 percent at the start of the year.
The AGM on May 3, 2023, resolved to introduce a synthetic options scheme of a maximum of 10,000,000 options directed to all personnel. The term of the scheme runs until March 1, 2027, and the expected cost in the event of a maximum outcome is SEK 350 million. At the start of the scheme in May 2023, personnel were invited to each receive 20,000–100,000 options. The value of the synthetic options varies with Wallenstam's share price. The option ceiling amounts to SEK 75 per share, which provides a value of SEK 30 per option in the event of a maximum outcome.
On closing day, the number of outstanding options amounted to 5,960,000, which were valued at SEK 61 million. Costs for social security contributions associated with the scheme amounted to SEK 7 million, which gave a total expense for the scheme of SEK 68 million (-).
The recognized tax for the year amounted to SEK 132 million (393) net, of which SEK 134 million (397) was deferred tax and SEK -2 million (-4) was current tax. Decreased property and derivative values aff ected the tax positively.

During the period, we have invested a total of SEK 2,399 million (4,564), of which SEK 2,313 million (4,421) in investment properties and SEK 86 million (143) in development properties. New construction projects in progress involve 1,081 apartments. The total value of rental apartment and development projects in progress, including land and projects for future new construction, amounted to SEK 5.1 billion (6.4) on closing day.
The right of use value for land granted with site leasehold rights has been estimated at SEK 534 million (500).
In view of the increased risks due to uncertainty about deliveries, infl ation and increased construction costs, no gradual value growth on new construction is reported during the year.
The average yield requirements, which refer to the properties owned on each closing day, amounted to 4.6 percent for the commercial holdings and to 3.6 percent for residential properties in operation. The equivalent information for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 4.6 percent for commercial and 3.5 percent for residential.
The value of investment properties amounted to SEK 63,090 million (62,092) at the end of the period.
Development properties mainly consist of the projects Pixbo Sjöterrass in Mölnlycke, construction of eight co-op terraced houses, where sales started during the third quarter of 2023, and Söra radhus in Österåker, construction of 11 co-op terraced houses, where sales started during the fi rst quarter of 2022. As of December 31, two of the terraced houses in Pixbo and seven of the terraced houses in Österåker have been taken into possession. In addition, the Bersån project in Uppsala was vacated during the fi nal quarter of 2023. The book value of Development properties amounted to SEK 77 million (217) at the end of the period.
The cities in which we do business are characterized by growth and heavy demand for housing. Only a minor proportion of our rental apartments become available for rent due to relocation, and demand for fi nished, newly constructed rental apartments is high. For example, we currently have approximately 280,000 people in our housing queue.
We build mainly rental apartments, but also cooperative apartments, when there is a need for mixed forms of tenure. Our fl exible business model, where co-op apartment sales do not start until the project is approaching completion, makes it possible to convert a co-op apartment project into a rental apartment project if demand for co-op apartments is uncertain.
We see that demand for commercial fl oor space in central Gothenburg is still stable.
Wallenstam measures all of its investment properties internally at fair value. In connection with closing the annual accounts for 2023, an external valuation was also obtained regarding land and building rights for future new construction. We enjoy good market and property intelligence through active monitoring, which provides us with a fi rm basis for performing internal valuations of our property holdings. However, we must emphasize that the real value of properties only becomes a reality when they are sold, and therefore a valuation is always an estimation.
In its assessments of property values, Wallenstam has used diff erent yield requirements. The yield requirements refl ect market conditions and diff er based on where the property is located and what type of property it is (housing or offi ces, etc.).
A valuation is calculated based on a property's net operating income including site leasehold rents, set in relation to the yield requirement for each property.
As our properties are valued separately, no consideration is given to the portfolio premium that may exist in the property market.
New constructions of rental apartments are measured at fair value, which is determined as cost plus the estimated surplus on the completion date in relation to the degree of completion of the construction. This is in turn based on the expenditures incurred. The surplus value on new production is gradually recognized during the construction period.
Land rights and building rights for future new construction are measured at market value and are externally valued.
Development properties are properties that we intend to construct in order to divest on completion, for example co-op apartment properties. Development properties are recognized at the lower of cost (investments incurred) and the estimated net realizable value. The profi t/loss is recognized when the property or apartment is completed and handed over to the buyer.

On closing day, Wallenstam had 53 wind turbines in operation, divided among 17 wind farms. The installed output amounted to 112 MW (112). Wind turbines are recognized at cost less depreciation and impairment losses.
On closing day, the consolidated book value of wind turbines amounted to SEK 985 million (1,017). During the second quarter of 2023, a reversal was made of a previously recognized impairment loss in electricity price zone 2 of SEK 59 million (-) as the write-down requirement no longer exists. In 2022, SEK 300 million was reversed regarding electricity price zone 3.
During 2023, our process for identifying the expected electricity price for impairment testing has been updated. As an input for the electricity price, an average price is used based on expectations of future electricity prices based on the Board's and Management's best estimate using external, independent, market data reports. The electricity price from the market data report forms the basis for estimation of the cash fl ow for the 2023–2030 period and an average growth rate of 1.5 percent (1.5) has subsequently been assumed. The yield requirement is 6 percent (6).
Estimated value in use of land leases, based on minimum rents, amounted on closing day to SEK 9 million (9). Depreciation for the year amounted to SEK 91 million (74). The increase was due to the reversal of previous impairment losses.
A net deferred tax liability is recognized in the balance sheet of SEK 5,830 million (5,963), which consists of a deferred tax asset of SEK 1,088 million (907) and a deferred tax liability of SEK 6,918 million (6,870) where SEK 6,430 million (6,393) relates to temporary diff erences in property investments and SEK 488 million (477) relates to derivative instruments, site leasehold rights and wind turbines.
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 30,500 million (31,432), which is equivalent to SEK 46.40 per share (47.70). The equity/assets ratio was 46 percent (47).
Wallenstam has 98 percent of its fi nancing in the form of traditional loans from Swedish banks and the European Investment Bank. The remainder of the fi nancing consists of commercial paper and a bond loan.
On closing day, total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 29,075 million (28,283). Of the liability, outstanding bond loans amounted to SEK 334 million (890), and the book volume of commercial paper, with a framework amount of SEK 4,000 million, amounted to SEK 373 million (1,034). Total interest-bearing liabilities consist of SEK 10.8 billion (8.8) green fi nancing, of which SEK 10.5 billion (7.9) of green loans and SEK 0.3 billion (0.9) of green bonds, issued according to the terms of Wallenstam's green framework and within Wallenstam's then MTN program (Medium Term Notes). The bond loans are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
During the fourth quarter, we have extended our average fi xed interest term from 37 months in the previous quarter to 40 months (44). Wallenstam uses interest rate derivatives to obtain a desired interest maturity profi le. The fi rst interest rate derivative maturity will occur in
2026, see table below. Of the loan portfolio, 57 percent (59) of the loans have fi xed interest terms longer than one year. On closing day, the average interest rate on our loans was 3.24 percent (2.21).
Financing of the loan portfolio is mainly secured by mortgage deeds for properties. The bond loans, commercial paper and the loan from the EIB are unsecured. The commercial paper program has underlying credit commitments in the form of overdraft facilities. Covenants are issued for the loan from the EIB for the loan to be unsecured.
The recognized lease liability corresponds to the rights of use for land leases and site leasehold rights. The liability on closing day totaled SEK 544 million (511).
Wallenstam's fi nancial derivative instruments consist of interest rate derivatives. On closing day, Wallenstam had a net receivable in respect of derivative instruments of SEK 1,000 million compared to SEK 1,874 million as of December 31, 2022.
The total volume of outstanding interest rate derivatives, where Wallenstam pays fi xed interest, amounts to SEK 16.0 billion (16.3).
Interest rate derivatives are measured through discounting future cash fl ows at present value. Arising defi cit or surplus values for interest rate derivatives, which refl ect how the Group's hedged interest rates relate to the market rate of interest on closing day, are recognized in the balance sheet and as changes in value, fi nancial instruments in the income statement.
Available liquid assets, including available bank overdraft facilities, amounted to SEK 1,285 million (2,093), of which SEK 378 million is allocated as back up for issued outstanding commercial paper. During the year, Wallenstam has chosen to reduce the overdraft facilities. Approved overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 1,325 million (1,912), where SEK 90 million (-) was used on closing day.

Wallenstam's climate targets are so-called near-term targets and are approved by the global climate action partnership – The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The validated climate targets mean that Wallenstam shall reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50 percent through 2030, with base year 2018. In addition to the validated climate targets in Scope 1 and 2, Wallenstam has also chosen to defi ne a voluntary target in Scope 3, according to the Science Based Targets initiative's methodology. This target means that Wallenstam shall measure and reduce the emissions from its construction operations by 55 percent through 2030, with 2019 as a base year.

SCOPE 2 Indirect emissions Purchased energy

SCOPE 3 Other indirect emissions Purchasing of construction materials

Target: –50% Base year: 695 tons CO2e 2023: 444 tons CO2e Outcome: –36%
During the year, some cooling systems with refrigerants have been replaced in our properties, reducing the risk of refrigerant leakage, which causes emissions.
Target: –50% Base year: 5,097 tons CO2e 2023: 3,888 tons CO2e* Outcome: –24%*
We continually measure and optimize the operation of our properties to ensure increased energy effi ciency, reduced energy consumption and reduced emissions. The projects to improve energy effi ciency, for instance include upgrades of technical equipment, replacing windows, additional insulation and solar cell installations.
*As data for actual emissions from certain district heating providers for 2023 was not available during preparation of this report, the values are based to a lesser extent on emission data for 2022.
Target: –55% Base year: 340 kg CO2e/GFA 2023: 277 kg CO2e/GFA Outcome: –19%
We perform climate calculations in order to streamline the use of materials in our new construction and minimize the project's overall climate impact. Based on these calculations, we make climatesmart material choices, such as climateimproved concrete, and reduce the amount of material whenever possible. A comprehensive climate roadmap has been drawn up as support for our operations in the work on reducing the carbon footprint from our new construction.
Wallenstam is not yet covered by the EU's taxonomy regulation but the company has voluntarily chosen to report how large a share of its assets are defi ned as sustainable under the EU taxonomy. Wallenstam's operations are deemed to meet the regulation's technical screening criteria with regard to articles 4.3 Electricity generation from wind power and 7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings.

The parent company's operations are focused on managing all of the Group's companies. In addition, the parent company owns a small number of properties.
Total revenue during the period amounted to SEK 481 million (479), of which rental income amounted to SEK 146 million (132).
The result was impacted by the item changes in value of derivative instruments, SEK -874 million (1,908). Profi t after tax amounted to SEK 424 million (2,107).
Investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment during the period amounted to SEK 33 million (82). Parent company external loans amounted to SEK 11,060 million (11,406) on closing day.
Since 2023, the parent company has been part of an income tax law commission with subsidiaries. As a principal in the income tax law commission, the commissionaire companies' profi ts/losses are reported and taxed at the parent company. The profi t/loss is transferred to the principal through a commissionaire' contribution, which is reported as an appropriation with the same name in the income statement. The commissionaire' contributions include the entire results of the subsidiaries and consist, in addition to profi ts/losses from current operations of SEK 94 million (-), of dividends and impairment losses from participations in subsidiaries, net SEK 978 million (-).
The parent company's tax is positive for 2023, which is explained by the year's large decline in the value of interest rate derivatives which reduces the company's deferred tax liability.
In 2023, the parent company was also part of a value added taxation group with subsidiaries.

Wallenstam's opportunities and risks, and how we manage them, are presented in the 2022 Annual Report on pages 25–28. No signifi cant changes in the management of these risks have occurred during 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, the estimated market value of the properties amounted to around SEK 63 billion. A change in value of plus/minus 10 percent is thus equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 6.3 billion. A general change of plus/minus 0.25 percentage points in property yield requirements is equivalent to about SEK -3.6 billion to SEK +4.1 billion, while a general change in revenue of 5 percent is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 3.6 billion.
A change in the market interest rate of plus/minus 50 points is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 63 million in interest expenses.
Wallenstam's related parties consist chiefl y of Group companies. Board members, company management and their families and the companies they control are also related parties. Transactions with related parties mainly consist of administrative fees and the renting of premises between Group companies. Individuals related to Board members and the Group Management rent apartments and premises. Insurance services are purchased from companies where a member of Wallenstam's Board of Directors is a Board member, for a total equivalent to about SEK 5 million in net expenditure for the year. The CEO is a joint owner (50 percent) of Aranea Holding AB. Aranea is a tenant of Wallenstam with an annual rental value equivalent to SEK 0.7 million. In addition, the CEO has acquired two co-op shares in Pixbo Sjöterrass for an amount of SEK 24.3 million.
A member of Wallenstam's Board, through his own consulting company, sold consulting hours to Wallenstam for SEK 0.1 million.
The Convendum and Colive groups, where Wallenstam's Chairman is a board member of each parent company, have paid SEK 41 million and SEK 13 million, respectively, in rent during the year. Ferroamp AB, where Wallenstam's
Chairman is a board member, has been a tenant since the second half of 2023 and has paid a total of SEK 1.5 million in rent during the year.
Wallenstam's involvement in environmental and social responsibility issues is described in more detail on pages 17–24 of the 2022 Annual Report. As part of its social responsibility work, the Wallenstam Group not only contributes fi nancially to a number of organizations but also gives its time in the form of e.g. board work. As a result of such board positions, related party status arises in the case of the Rescue Mission in Gothenburg and Barn i Nöd (Swedish International Help for Children). During the year, the Rescue Mission in Gothenburg received contributions and discounts equivalent to SEK 3.5 million and Barn i Nöd received contributions of SEK 1.8 million. The Rescue Mission in Gothenburg and Barn i Nöd rent premises and apartments from Wallenstam equivalent to annual rental income of about SEK 6.4 million and SEK 0.1 million, respectively.
All transactions take place on market-related terms.
As a result of rounding off , fi gures presented in this report do not, in some cases, sum up exactly to the total and percentages may diff er in order for them to correspond to the actual numerical data.
This report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The accounting principles are unchanged compared to the 2022 Annual Report. The Parent Company's accounting principles comply with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2.
New and amended standards and principles that entered into force on January 1, 2023, or subsequently are not expected to have any material impact on the Wallenstam Group's fi nancial statements.
No events of material importance for the company's position have occurred after the end of the reporting period.
