HANS WALLENSTAM, CEO
A very good year
"We generated an increase in net asset value of SEK 9 per share during the first calendar year in the new business plan, of the SEK 40 which is our goal for 2023. Income from property management increased by 10 percent to just over SEK 1.1 billion and the surplus ratio came in at 75.5 percent. These are really excellent numbers, which once again show how well the operations and our business model are working."
"The strong demand for properties is affecting yield requirements and consequently also the valuation of the property holdings. The changes in value of our properties amounted to SEK 2.6 billion in 2019. It is extra satisfying to see that the changes in value from our efficient new production are making an increasing contribution to our value growth."

Important events fourth quarter
During the quarter, construction started of 294 apartments in two projects. One project involves 161 rental apartments in the Rosendal district of Uppsala. The other project consists of 133 rental apartments in phase 3 of our urban development project Umami Park in Hallonbergen, Sundbyberg.
It was also confirmed that Wallenstam would be chosen as one of four anchor developers in an upcoming urban development project in Knivsta Municipality. The agreement also includes a land allocation of 250 apartments for Wallenstam.
In October, Marina Fritsche, Regional Director Gothenburg was appointed as Vice CEO of Wallenstam. The Board's decision means that Wallenstam now has two
Vice CEOs – Mathias Aronsson, Regional Director Stockholm, has been Vice CEO since 2007.
Wallenstam also acquired 8.5 percent of the shares in Tmpl, a property tech company which is developing a digital communication and service platform aimed at residential and commercial properties. Our own Wallenstam app, which began to be launched during the year for residents in our properties, was developed in collaboration with Tmpl.
On November 14, Wallenstam's new logo and visual identity were launched where Wallenstam's ant, which has been a symbol of the company since the 1950s, got a more stylish and modern design. Now it more clearly reflects the company's values, the modern products and the service that Wallenstam delivers.
Goal 2023 – Increase in net asset value of SEK 40 per share
In the business plan 2019–2023, Wallenstam's goal is to deliver an increase in net asset value of SEK 40 per share. The goal is measured from October 1, 2018 when the net asset value per share was SEK 79.20. On December 31, 2019, the net asset value per share was SEK 91.30, which represents an increase of SEK 9.00 per share during 2019 and SEK 12.10 per share in total during the business plan so far.
Net asset value
Net asset value describes the Group's total generated value and includes equity and deferred tax liability and amounted to SEK 29,501 million (26,574) on closing day. Deferred tax liability refers mainly to differences between carrying amounts and residual values for tax purposes in Group properties. A net deferred tax liability of SEK 5,322 million (4,595) was recognized in the balance sheet, which consists of a deferred tax asset of SEK 387 million (370) and a deferred tax liability of SEK 5,709 million (4,965). The non-current net asset value (EPRA NAV), which in addition to reversal of deferred tax liabilities also reverses the effects of unrealized changes in value of derivatives, amounted to SEK 29,778 million (26,595).

Comments by the CEO
Our anniversary year is now at an end and I can confirm that it was a very good year. It was especially nice in November, the very month when the company was established 75 years ago, to be able to unveil our new logo and graphic identity. I am personally very proud of the designed logo, which has received many positive reactions. The new design – with the ant and name in a modern style – reflects both our history and future.
We generated an increase in net asset value of SEK 9 per share during the first calendar year in the new business plan, of the SEK 40 which is our goal for 2023. Income from property management increased by 10 percent to just over SEK 1.1 billion and the surplus ratio came in at 75.5 percent. These are really excellent numbers, which once again show how well the operations and our business model are working.
High demand generates higher property values
Demand for properties is pretty incredible right now and is a natural consequence of the fact that we are in a low interest rate environment where properties are regarded as a safe investment option. The strong demand for properties is affecting yield requirements and consequently also the valuation of the property holdings. The changes in value of our properties amounted to SEK 2.6 billion in 2019. It is extra satisfying to see that the changes in value from our efficient new production are making an increasing contribution to our value growth. My opinion and that of many others is that the low interest rates will persist for a long time to come.
Sustainability in all decisions
During the year, we formed our sustainability department, which brings together all of the sustainability work that has been carried out over many years in the company and which is driving our sustainability initiatives and strategy work. Sustainability pervades all of our operations and all decisions, important ones as well as minor. We have been self-sufficient in renewable energy through our 66 wind turbines since 2013. In the energy area, we have installed some individual solar panels as a pilot project in selected properties. During 2020, we will continue these efforts on a larger scale in several of our buildings.
It is also gratifying that the European Investment Bank, EIB, has come in as a new financier in our energy-efficient rental apartment productions. For us, this represents a confirmation that we are working in a sustainable way, since a precondition for the financing is that the projects meet the EIB's requirements for "nearly-zero-energy building". The aim of the financing is also to support the construction of rental apartments and thereby reduce the serious housing shortage in Sweden's largest cities.
New production rate
Our new production is progressing as planned and we are continually starting new projects. We currently have more than 3,000 apartments under construction. Given the huge housing need that exists, it is important that those of us building rental apartments can maintain the production rate and provide our regions with new homes, particularly as cooperative apartment production has now decreased.
About 100,000 people have registered in our own queue for newly constructed apartments in Stockholm, Uppsala and Gothenburg.
We are keenly aware of how the market and demand are developing, and we are also testing other forms of housing. For example, we are now building co-living apartments, which will be introduced into our holdings during 2020. It will be exciting

to follow the development of modern collective living – through Colive. I hope and believe that this can be a popular product in today's society, like coworking has become, where we share workplaces.
Services, shops and restaurants important for office tenants
Of course we are also taking on challenges. One challenge currently facing many property companies is the fact that physical stores are being subjected to tough competition from e-commerce. In addition, we have the challenge of the ongoing work with the West Link project in Gothenburg, which will make access to the city more difficult for some time. For us, this work means an additional focus on finding different solutions for business activities in the ground floors of the properties so that we can create the right conditions for a lively streetscape. Offices account for the majority of our floor space in our commercial properties. For our office tenants, it is important that there are services, shops and restaurants that provide life and a pulse in the local area, while the businesses benefit from the customer potential of the office tenants. Therefore, we always take a holistic view of a property and an area, so that different activities can complement each other. The fact that our commercial properties are located in Gothenburg inner city is a strength. This gives us greater freedom of action and makes it easier for us to find creative and alternative solutions for each property. Our letting organization continually works close to the market in order to find the right mix for a lively and attractive inner city.
Thank you!
I would like to thank the Board and express a special thank you to Ulrica Jansson Messing, who quickly and very effectively took over the role of Chairman of the Board in connection with Christer Villard's tragic passing. I also want to thank all our fantastic employees whose dedicated work has enabled us to be so successful. I am looking forward with excitement and anticipation to an interesting 2020!

Note 1 – Bridge Income from natural energy management operations
As from 2019, Wallenstam has changed the presentation in the income statement due to the fact that Natural energy no longer constitutes a separate segment. All comparative periods have been restated. The previous line items "Income from natural energy management operations" have been replaced by the line items "Other income", "Other expenses", and "Financial expenses, other". Profit before changes in value and impairment charges were unchanged compared to previous periods.

Comments on the consolidated income statement
OCTOBER 1-DECEMBER 31
We feel that the market is still strong, particularly for offices and housing. Rental income increased by 6 percent compared to the previous year and amounted to SEK 515 million (488) during the quarter. The increase in revenue was mainly related to completed newly produced residential properties as well as new lets and renegotiations in commercial properties. Rental rates in renegotiated agreements increased by 8.5 percent. Net letting of commercial premises amounted to SEK -20 million during the quarter. In addition to this, SEK 8 million was added relating to cancelled leases for the purpose of enabling project implementation. Changes during the quarter related to the cancellation of a few but relatively large commercial contracts, among other things due to the City of Gothenburg's decision to relocate operations to their own properties. The occupancy rate for commercial premises, which was record high at the end of 2018, remained high at 96 percent (98). Operating expenses amounted to SEK 145 million (137). Net operating income improved by SEK 19 million, equivalent to just over 5 percent.
Interest expenses during the quarter were SEK 14 million higher compared to the previous year, of which SEK 11 million was a result of higher average debt and higher interest rate levels and SEK 3 million was due to the fact that interest components for site leasehold rights and land leases are now recognized as a financial expense. Capitalized interest amounted to SEK 23 million (18).
Income from property management amounted to SEK 257 million (253). Changes in the value of properties was positive and amounted to SEK 1,590 million (764) due to a continued positive market trend and value growth from our new production.
Swap interest rates rose during the fourth quarter, for example, the 10-year swap interest rate rose by 44 points. The rising swap interest rates had a positive impact on the development in value of interest rate derivatives, SEK 330 million (-101).
Profit after tax for the fourth quarter of 2019 amounted to SEK 1,699 million (1,229), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 5.3 (3.8).
During the year, the Group divested the business area that involved electricity sales to end customers. With the financial and organizational changes arising from this change, natural energy is not reported separately as its own segment as from October 2019.
JANUARY 1-DECEMBER 31
Rental income
Rental income for the year increased by SEK 117 million, which is equivalent to just over 6 percent, and amounted to SEK 2,026 million (1,910). Growth in rental income during the period was mainly the result of a continued positive market trend and occupations in our recently constructed rental properties. Rental income includes re-invoicing of increased property tax of about SEK 10 million.
Wallenstam's revenue is evenly distributed between residential properties and commercial premises. Our residential property holdings are fully let. This year's rent negotiations for residential properties resulted in an average increase of about 2 percent.
For our commercial properties, which are located in central locations in Gothenburg, we are still experiencing strong and stable demand, and especially for offices, which are our single largest type of commercial premises. Total rental income for our commercial properties in comparable holdings increased by 3.9 percent before increments, among other things as a result of successfully completed new lets and cost index escalations. Rental rates in renegotiated agreements increased by 7.7 percent. The surrender rate, which reflects how large a proportion of the cancellable leases are extended, amounted to 87 percent.
Net letting of commercial premises amounted to SEK -9 million during 2019. In addition to this, SEK 11 million was added relating to leases that were cancelled in order to enable future refinement and transactions. Changes during the year were primarily related to the fourth quarter of 2019 due to the fact that the City of Gothenburg is implementing changes to bring together operations in their own properties. The net occupancy rate is a volatile and unpredictable metric, which is affected by many factors, both external and internal. For instance, strategic business decisions to vacate for refinement, result in a negative trend initially. The metric is also hard to interpret in the shorter term as cancellations and new lets often come in blocks

that do not match each other. Nor have they any connection to the operating result since there is often a gap of at least 6-12 months between the signing of contracts and moving in/out. Internally, Wallenstam primarily follows the operations' occupancy rate, which we consider to be the metric that best reflects the performance of the business. Starting from 2020, our external communication will therefore focus on the occupancy rate. Our occupancy rate for commercial properties in terms of lettable area is still high and amounted to 96 percent (98) on closing day.
Operating expenses & net operating income
Operating expenses for the period amounted to SEK 497 million (481) and increased as a result of additional recently produced properties, higher costs for property maintenance from increased charges and increased property tax, among other things. Seasonal effects at Wallenstam consist mainly of variable operating expenses. These are usually highest during quarters one and four when expenses for heating and property maintenance are generally higher. Climate-related expenses were about SEK 6 million lower during 2019 than 2018. New tax assessment values meant that property tax increased compared to the previous year, which resulted in higher operating expenses of just over SEK 14 million. Even if the largest part of the increase for commercial properties is paid by the customers, the increased tax assessment values have a negative impact on the surplus ratio. As a consequence of new accounting rules, site leasehold rents are recognized within net financial items starting from 2019, which had a positive impact on operating expenses of SEK 12 million.
Net operating income increased by 7.1 percent and amounted to SEK 1,529 million (1,429). Additional efficient new production accounted for half of this growth and the existing holdings for the remainder. The surplus ratio was 75.5 percent (74.8).
Management costs and administrative expenses
Management costs and administrative expenses totaled SEK 254 million (251) and are distributed among property management, SEK 228 million (211), energy management, SEK 20 million (31) and property transactions SEK 6 million (9).
Financial income & expenses
Financial income amounted to SEK 4 million (6) and financial expenses totaled SEK 223 million (237), and are distributed between property operations and other, which mainly consisted of natural energy. Capitalized interest amounted to SEK 83 million (58).
The average debt for the year was SEK 2.3 billion higher than the previous year, due to continued investments in new production. The average interest rate on closing day, which reflects future interest to pay in relation to our loans, was 1.22 percent (1.06). This was higher compared to the previous year due to higher 3M STIBOR as well as higher fixed interest terms through derivative contracts. During the year, the average interest rate was 1.20 percent (1.35 percent excluding early redemption of derivative instruments).
Realized changes in value, financial instruments
During May and June 2018, interest derivative contracts with a market value of SEK -776 million were realized for the purpose of adapting the Group to the new corporate taxation rules, which apply starting from 2019.
Income from sales of development properties
A profit or loss from sales of development properties is recognized when the apartment or property is taken into possession by the purchaser. Apart from the cost, selling and marketing expenses are included, which are expensed as they arise.
Net profit from sales during the year amounted to SEK 92 million (114) and included sales of the development property Pälsjö (Mässhaken 2) in Helsingborg, apartments in the Vasagatan 33 project, individual co-op apartments as well as costs.
Other income & Other expenses
On April 1, the Group's electricity trading operations were sold to Jämtkraft. With the financial and organizational changes that arose from this sale, natural energy is not reported separately as its own segment as from October 2019. Income and expenses from electricity production as well as other income and expenses are recognized as other income and other expenses.

WALLENSTAM | YEAR-END REPORT JAN 1-DEC 31, 2019
Electricity revenue for the year was significantly lower than the previous year. This was mainly explained by the divestment of the electricity trading business area. Production of electricity increased, by 9 percent in total compared to the previous year, and amounted to 367 GWh (338). The price of electricity and renewable energy certificates decreased, however, which meant that sales from electricity production were also lower compared to the previous year.
Changes in value, investment properties
Changes in value of investment properties during the period amounted to SEK 2,600 million in total (1,832), of which the increase in value generated from our own work in our cost-efficient new construction accounted for SEK 792 million (598). Value growth from investment properties, which were in operation for one calendar year or more amounted to SEK 1,808 million (1,234). This was mainly a result of a continued strong rental market, higher net operating income and lower yield requirements of 11 and 12 points, respectively, on average during the fourth quarter for commercial premises and residential properties.
Unrealized changes in value, financial instruments
The change in value of financial instruments in the income statement includes changes in value of interest rate and electricity derivatives and holdings of listed and unlisted shares. The profit/loss is recognized in the income statement excluding changes in value from unlisted shares, which are recognized against other comprehensive income.
The value of interest rate and electricity derivatives developed negatively during the year, SEK -269 million (706) and SEK -15 million (68), respectively. The previous year was significantly affected by early redemption of interest rate derivatives, SEK 776 million. On closing day, the 10-year swap rate amounted to 0.68 percent, compared to 1.12 percent at the start of the year. The value of other financial instruments developed positively during the year, SEK 79 million in total (-1), of which SEK 19 million (5) is recognized in the income statement and SEK 60 million (-6) in other comprehensive income.
Unrealized changes in value, synthetic options
The Annual General Meeting on April 24, 2018 resolved to introduce a synthetic options scheme directed to all personnel. The term of the scheme runs until May 31, 2024 and the estimated cost in the event of a maximum outcome is SEK 330 million. At the start of the scheme in May 2018, personnel were invited to acquire the allocated number of options at a market price. The value of the synthetic options, which varies with Wallenstam's share price, increased during the year. The unrealized expense including costs connected to the scheme, amounted to SEK 40 million (13) during the year. To date, the total recognized obligation for the scheme amounts to SEK 53 million (13).
Taxes
The tax expense for the period, which consists in its entirety of deferred tax, amounted to SEK 727 million (447) net. Tax was calculated at 21.4 percent on current taxable income while deferred tax liabilities and receivables were calculated at the lower tax rate of 20.6 percent that applies starting from 2021. The tax expense for the year was positively impacted by SEK 28 million (312) as a result of remeasurement to the corporate tax rate of 20.6 percent. New corporate taxation rules have not impacted net profit for the year.

Comments on the consolidated balance sheet
OUR PROPERTIES
Development during the period
During the year, we invested a total of SEK 3,833 million (2,688), of which SEK 3,781 million (2,549) in investment properties and SEK 52 million (139) in development properties. New construction projects in progress involve 3,135 apartments. The total value of rental apartment and development projects in progress amounted to SEK 5.8 billion (3.6) on closing day.
From January 1, 2019, property companies must report the right of use to land granted with site leasehold rights as an asset and an equally large lease liability. The right of use value for the land has been estimated at SEK 402 million and is recognized as a part of the properties' value.
Investment properties
Changes in value affected the value of investment properties positively by SEK 2,600 million (1,832) in total, of which SEK 792 million (598) came from new construction of rental apartments and the remainder from properties that have been in operation for one calendar year or more.
For the commercial holdings, the average yield requirement amounts to 4.5 percent (4.6). For residential properties in operation, the average yield requirement amounts to 3.1 percent (3.3). The average yield requirement was 11-12 points lower on average compared to the previous quarter. The approved value of investment properties was SEK 52,354 million (45,811) at the end of the period.
Development properties
Development properties include the co-op apartment project New York at Gårdet in Stockholm and remaining apartments in the Vasagatan 33 project in Gothenburg. For new construction in progress, also see the table on page 10. The book value of Development properties amounted to SEK 175 million (317) at the end of the period.
Our markets
The cities in which we do business are characterized by strong growth and heavy demand for housing. Only a minor proportion of our rental apartments become available for rent due to relocation, and demand for finished, newly built rental apartments is high.
We build mainly rental apartments, but also cooperative apartments, for example when the land available for rental apartment construction is limited. Our flexible 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 is strong primarily for office space in Gothenburg, particularly in the central parts of the city, which is also reflected in the low vacancy rate.
Valuation
Investment properties
Wallenstam measures all of its investment properties internally at fair value. We enjoy good market and property intelligence through active monitoring, which provides us with a firm basis for performing internal valuations of our property holdings. However, we must emphasize that a property's fair value only becomes a reality when the property is sold, for which reason a valuation is always an estimation.
In its assessments of property values, Wallenstam has used different yield requirements. The yield requirements reflect market conditions and differ based on where the property is located and what type of property it is, e.g. housing or offices, 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 properties 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 expenses incurred.
Land rights and building rights for zoned land are measured at market value.
Development properties
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 profit/loss is recognized when the property or apartment is completed and handed over to the buyer.

WIND POWER
On closing day, Wallenstam had 66 wind turbines in operation divided among 20 wind farms. The installed output amounted to 143 MW (143).
Wind turbines are measured at the lowest of cost less depreciation and impairment losses and the estimated net realizable value. Depreciation for the period amounted to SEK 76 million (95). Due to the introduction of IFRS 16, Leases, the right of use to land through land leases shall be recognized as a right-of-use asset and an equally large lease liability from January 1, 2019. Estimated value in use of land leases, based on so-called minimum rents, amounted on closing day to SEK 17 million (-) and is recognized as part of the wind power value. On December 31, 2019, the consolidated book value of wind turbines amounted to SEK 1,109 million (1,167). The renewable energy certificate inventory and guarantees of origin amounted to SEK 14 million (58) on closing day.
FINANCING
Equity
Shareholders' equity, including non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 23,794 million (21,611), equivalent to SEK 74 per share (67). The equity/assets ratio was 44 percent (45).
Interest-bearing liabilities
On closing day, outstanding bond loans amounted to SEK 3,950 million (3,450), the outstanding volume of commercial paper, with a framework amount of SEK 4 billion, amounted to SEK 3,993 million (3,503), and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 24,302 million (21,244), of which the lease liability amounted to SEK 421 million (-). Of this liability, SEK 1.8 billion (0.7) consists of green loans, and SEK 1.0 billion of green bonds.
All the bond loans of SEK 3,950 million (2,950) are contained within the framework of our MTN program
138 new apartments for Majorna in Gothenburg
In the Godhems Backe project, we are building 138 new homes with proximity to services, communications and Slottsskogen's green areas. The project is planned to be completed by the end of 2020.

(Medium Term Notes), which has a total framework amount of SEK 5 billion. The terms and conditions of the green bonds are the same as for the other bonds with the addition that the issue proceeds can only be allocated to projects and assets that qualify according to Wallenstam's green framework. One green bond of SEK 500 million was issued in May and runs for two years with a variable interest rate of 3M STIBOR + 0.75%. Another green bond loan of SEK 500 million was issued in September and runs for two years with a variable interest rate of 3M STIBOR + 0.60%. The bond loans are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
The average remaining fixed interest term is 38 months (39). Of the loan portfolio, 41 percent (41) of the loans have fixed interest terms longer than one year. On closing day, the average interest rate on our loans was 1.22 percent (1.06).
Financing of the loan portfolio is mainly secured by mortgage deeds for properties. The bond loans are unsecured. The commercial paper program has underlying credit commitments for the outstanding volume of commercial paper at each date. Covenants are issued for this.
Lease liability
Due to the introduction of IFRS 16, Leases, from January 1, 2019 a lease liability is recognized equivalent to the rights of use for land leases and site leasehold rights as a separate line item. On December 31, 2019, the liability amounted to SEK 421 million.
Derivative instruments
Wallenstam's financial derivative instruments consist of interest rate and electricity derivatives. On closing day, Wallenstam had a net indebtedness in respect of derivative instruments of SEK 349 million compared to a net indebtedness of SEK 32 million on December 31, 2018. Of this, interest rate derivatives accounted for SEK -350 million (-82), electricity derivatives for SEK 2 million (49) and currency derivatives for SEK -1 million (-).
During 2019, the Group entered into new interest rate derivative contracts totaling SEK 1.7 billion with a maturity of 10 years. The total volume of outstanding interest rate derivatives, where Wallenstam pays fixed interest, amounts to SEK 9.7 billion (8.0).
Interest rate derivatives are used to obtain a desired interest maturity profile in a flexible, cost-efficient way. They are measured through discounting future cash flows at present value based on observable market interest rates and are classified at level 2. The arising deficit or surplus value for interest rate derivatives, which reflects how the Group's hedged interest rates relate to the market rate of interest on closing day, is recognized in the balance sheet and in unrealized changes in value, financial instruments in the income statement.
Electricity derivatives are used to mitigate the effect of market fluctuations by hedging income for future electricity production. These are measured at market value and the changes in value are continually recognized in the Group in the line item unrealized changes in value, financial instruments. As we do not apply hedge accounting for electricity derivatives, no reversal effect arises in unrealized changes in value in the consolidated income statement in connection with realization of electricity derivatives.
Currency derivatives are used to a limited extent in order to hedge purchasing from foreign countries. Hedge accounting is applied and therefore translation effects are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Available liquid assets
Available liquid assets, including available bank overdraft facilities and excluding blocked bank balances with Nasdaq Commodities of SEK 1 million (3) amounted to SEK 928 million (761). Approved overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 800 million (800). None of these were used on closing day (119). At the end of the year, the EIB (European Investment Bank) approved a credit facility of SEK 2,500 million for new production of energy-efficient rental apartments. The Group's approved credit facilities totaled SEK 6,500 million (4,000). For the SEK 2,500 million facility approved by the EIB, a drawdown notice of ten banking days is required. The other SEK 4,000 million was available for use on closing day.
On December 31, 2019, available liquid assets totaled SEK 4,928 million (4,761), of which SEK 3,993 million (3,503) represents a credit commitment for issued outstanding commercial paper. Accordingly, SEK 935 million (1,258) was available for use on closing day.

WALLENSTAM | YEAR-END REPORT JAN 1-DEC 31, 2019
Parent Company
The parent company's primary operations are the performance of Group-wide services including financial services as well as trading in renewable energy certificates and guarantees of origin. In addition, the parent company owns a small number of properties.
Total revenue during the period amounted to SEK 456 million (389), of which rental income amounted to SEK 124 million (117).
Net profit for the period was impacted by changes in value of financial derivative instruments, SEK -323 million (761), mainly due to falling swap interest rate levels. Profit/loss from participations in Group companies for the year includes dividends from subsidiaries and amounted to SEK 33 million (3,106). The large difference between years was due to the fact that the Group carried out a review of its capital structure last year.
In the previous year, financial derivative instruments were affected by a large non-recurring item from early redemption of derivative contracts in May and June 2018 of SEK 776 million. An equivalent cost was then recognized as interest expense, and therefore the transaction did not have any net effect on profit. The previous year's interest expense, apart from interest expense from early redemption of contracts, was SEK 333 million. This year's interest expenses are lower compared to the previous year despite a higher average debt due to lower interest rates, a result of the early redemption of derivatives in 2018. Profit after tax amounted to SEK 234 million (3,538).
Investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment during the period amounted to SEK 22 million (15). Parent company external loans amounted to SEK 13,421 million (9,802) on closing day.

WALLENSTAM | YEAR-END REPORT JAN 1-DEC 31, 2019
Proposed dividend, repurchase and assignment of own shares etc.
The Board of Directors will propose that the Annual General Meeting approve the following:
- According to the company’s dividend policy, the amount available for distribution must never exceed profit before changes in value and impairment charges less participations in the profits of associated companies after standard tax. When determining the size of the dividend, consideration should be given to the Group’s investment requirements, need to strengthen its balance sheet and its position in general, and the ability of the Group to develop further in the future while maintaining its financial strength and freedom of action. Based on Wallenstam’s future investment plans, the Board proposes to reinvest a larger part of the profits in the business. For the 2019 financial year, the Board of Directors will therefore propose a maintained dividend of SEK 1.90 per share (1.90), spread over two payment dates of SEK 0.95 each per share. The record day for the first payment is proposed to be May 6, 2020, and November 4, 2020 for the second payment. The proposed dividend is equivalent to a yield of 1.7 percent (2.3), based on the share price at the end of the period.
- Authorization for the Board until the next AGM, on one or more occasions, to take decisions regarding the purchase of so many B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, such that the company’s holding at any one time does not exceed 10 percent of all shares in the company.
- Authorization for the Board to take decisions regarding the assignment of the company’s own shares.
- Guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.
The work of the Board
Wallenstam’s Board was composed of five members until September 25, 2019. After Christer Villard’s passing, the Board was composed of four members. In 2019, the Board held eight recorded meetings in addition to day-to-day contacts. The Board’s most important task is to make decisions on strategic matters. In general, the Board handles matters of material importance for the Group. The Board work during the year focused in particular on strategy discussions, questions relating to market conditions and financing, compliance issues and investments.
The Board conducted an evaluation of its work during 2019. The evaluation was conducted under the leadership of the Chairman of the Board in the form of an open discussion within the Board. The evaluation found that the Board work is functioning very well.

Other information
OPPORTUNITIES & RISKS
Wallenstam’s opportunities and risks, and how we manage them, are presented in the 2018 Annual Report on pages 34–37. No significant changes have taken place since then.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
As of December 31, 2019, the estimated market value of the properties amounted to around SEK 52 billion. A change in value of plus/minus 10 percent is thus equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 5.2 billion. A general change of 0.25 percentage points in property yield requirements is equivalent to about SEK -3.1 billion or SEK +3.7 billion.
A change in the interest rate of plus/minus 50 points is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 67 million (62).
A change in the electricity price of 1 öre per kWh is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 41 million (42) during valuation of wind turbines, while a change in the renewable energy certificate price of 1 öre per kWh is equivalent to about plus/minus SEK 21 million (23) during valuation of wind turbines.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Wallenstam’s related parties consist chiefly 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. Insurance services are purchased from companies where members of Wallenstam’s Board of Directors are Board members, for a total equivalent to about SEK 4 million in net expenditure for the year. Giveaways for celebration of the company’s 75-year anniversary were purchased for SEK 0.3 million (-) from companies related to a Board member. In addition, a company to which one of Wallenstam’s Board members was related at the time of contracting, performed building contract services with a total contract value of SEK 86 million. The CEO is a joint owner (50 percent) of Aranea Holding AB. Aranea Holding AB owns 48 percent of Renew Group Sweden AB, a floorball equipment manufacturer. Aranea is a tenant of Wallenstam with an annual rental value equivalent to SEK 0.6 million.
Wallenstam’s involvement in environmental and social responsibility issues is described in more detail on pages 27–33 of the 2018 Annual Report. As part of its social responsibility work, the Wallenstam Group not only contributes financially 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 3.2 million and Barn i Nöd received contributions of SEK 1.8 million. The Rescue Mission in Gothenburg and Barn i Nöd rent premises from Wallenstam equivalent to annual rental income of about SEK 4.8 million and SEK 0.1 million, respectively.
All transactions take place on market-related terms.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The accounting principles are unchanged compared to the 2018 Annual Report, and the accounting principles mentioned below have been adopted from 2019. The Parent Company’s accounting principles comply with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board’s recommendation RFR 2.
New accounting principles that entered into force on January 1, 2019 and subsequently IFRS 16 Leases
The standard replaced IAS 17 on January 1, 2019 and means, among other things, that lessees must report leases in the balance sheet. Wallenstam does not apply the standard retrospectively. As a landlord and lessor, the change does not impact Wallenstam’s reporting. However, as a lessee, the handling of site leasehold rents and minimum rents for land for wind turbines is of importance. As of January 1 2019, the lease liability for site leasehold rents amounted to SEK 402 million and for minimum rents for land it amounted to SEK 18 million. The liability is recognized as a separate line item in the balance sheet, Lease liability. Corresponding right-of-use assets are recognized in the balance sheet and are included as part of the items Investment properties and Wind turbines, respectively. The expense for site leasehold rents is recognized as a financial expense. For minimum rents for land, the new standard means that the rent shall instead be distributed between depreciation and financial expenses, respectively. This means that financial expenses will be higher during the start of the lease term and will then decline in line with amortization of the liability. The depreciation is the same over the entire lease term. However, income from property management is only impacted by the accrual effect arising for the land leases, which is extremely marginal.
Calculation of key ratios is based on the current accounting, which means for example that net financial items includes interest for leases. Comparative figures for previous years have not been restated.
No other new and amended standards approved by the EU and interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee are deemed to have a material impact on the Group’s financial position.
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
In January, a decision from an arbitration board was announced in a case that involved a Wallenstam company. The ruling, which was in our favor, had no impact on the annual accounts for the year.
