COMMENT FROM THE CEO

From Hemfosa’s standpoint, the pace of activity at the end of 2015 was just as
fast as when the year started. Through our first acquisitions in Finland in
December 2015 and an additional transaction in January this year, we have
broadened our business to become a Nordic specialist in community service
properties with operations in three countries. During the fourth quarter, we
also reported strong profit from property management and a continued increase in
earnings capacity.

A Nordic player wiht breadth

With the aim of continuing to grow in community service properties, we worked
actively in 2015 to broaden the operations to additional markets and to
streamline the portfolio with a focus on the community service area. At the
beginning of the year, we took our first steps into Norway and, during the
fourth quarter, following a meticulous market analysis, we completed our first
acquisition in Finland, of two community service properties in Helsinki, for SEK
0.5 billion, followed by an equally large transaction after year-end. We view
this geographic expansion as a strategically important, and logical, progression
for Hemfosa. The Finnish and Norwegian markets both have distinct similarities
with our Swedish core market, in terms of both function and development, and
Hemfosa sees great potential for a large and specialized operator in the
community service market. With a presence in three countries and a growing share
of community service properties, we have also decided, as of this report, to
switch to a segment division based primarily on the different markets and
secondarily on the type of properties, which we hope will provide a clearer
picture of the property portfolio and the Group’s progress.

Target-oriented transaction activity

In the “hot” market climate that currently prevails, a targeted approach is
becoming more important than ever. Hemfosa has been extremely clear in its focus
on community service properties that generate stable cash flows and we know when
to turn down a transaction. During the year, we proved in the face of intense
competition that we can implement transactions that are good for us, and I
believe a key reason for our success is our position as a well-known and
knowledgeable counterparty in the community service sector, where decisions made
by property buyers are not solely based on monetary factors. In Sweden during
the fourth quarter, we were able to sell non-priority properties and
simultaneously acquire 43 fully leased healthcare and personal care properties;
a growing area in which we believe that Hemfosa is ideally suited as a property
owner with its long-term approach and experience. The pace of activity was also
high in Norway, where Hemfosa built up a portfolio of community service
properties worth approximately SEK 3 billion. In addition to one major
acquisition, we initiated during the quarter our second large-scale joint
venture at the Gardermoen Campus outside Oslo; a fully leased health and medical
center close to the specialist hospital on which construction commenced in
September. And we have identified good potential for additional attractive
projects in this expansive area.

Strong trend

Since its foundation, Hemfosa has worked actively and consistently to secure
expertise and it is continuing to build up an organization based on skillful
employees with the ability and the will to grow within the company. During the
autumn and winter, a number of employees were hired in the Swedish organization
and for the new team in Norway. We also strengthened Group Management by
promoting several company employees. When we summarize the year, we can report
strong growth in profit from property management; up 66 percent compared with
2014, and cash flow from operating activities that rose from MSEK 627 to MSEK
1,172. In line with our business concept, in which stable and healthy earnings
are the lodestars, we should and we can pay a high dividend to our shareholders
and our policy is to distribute 60 percent of our distributable profit over
time. The Board’s proposal that the dividend per ordinary share for 2015 be SEK
4.20 represents an increase by 40 percent on 2014. We also aim to continue to
pay quarterly dividends, something that benefits and is appreciated by our
shareholders.
