COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

We are closing a strong year for Nyfosa. Completing acquisitions for just over SEK 12 billion and divestments for almost SEK 4 billion in one year is proof that we are passionate about doing business. We constantly strive to improve earnings and to create diversification in the portfolio.

With a positive net leasing during each quarter and a growth of 42 percent in the distributable cash flow per share, I am satisfied with the year. We have coped with the challenges of the pandemic well and our assessment is that we will continue to have good resilience with our breadth in the property portfolio.

I am looking forward to continuing to do good business and develop Nyfosa. We will grow and build cash flows with a healthy balance sheet. For us, our business concept means the freedom to do business where we see opportunities, both in the transaction market and in the property management. And we will do so with an even clearer direction towards sustainability and reduced climate impact.

Stina Lindh Hök, CEO
