Statement from the CEO

Over the course of the year, we have found our identity as one of Sweden's
largest managers of residential properties following several years of strong
growth and the mergers of several property companies. At the same time, we have
streamlined and focused, acquiring additional apartments adjacent to our
existing properties. D. Carnegie & Co is thus now a residential property company
focusing on the Stockholm region. This has also involved intensive renovation
work and 293 apartments were renovated during the fourth quarter.

I am also happy to note that we have reached our target of a total return of at
least 10 per cent, which led to an increase in the adjusted shareholders’ equity
by 41 per cent during the year. Earning capacity increased from the beginning of
the year by 50 per cent to SEK 307 million on a rolling 12-month basis.

During the quarter, the company completed the acquisition of just over 100
apartments in Norrköping, further strengthening our earning capacity. During the
period, we continued to improve the efficiency of the renovation of apartments
and to industrialize this process. The forecast of renovating at least 500
apartments in 2015 was surpassed with 524 apartments renovated over the course
of the year. Even the annual rate of 1,000 apartments per year was achieved
during the fourth quarter. We have also continued investing at a rapid pace in
façades, heating facilities, laundry rooms, etc. which increases our rental
income and reduces the costs of repairs and maintenance.

Increased rent and lower costs is reflected in an improved net operating income,
which for the quarter amounted to SEK 133 million as compared with SEK 98
million for the same quarter of last year. For the year, net operating income
doubled to SEK 554 million as compared with SEK 257 million last year. Earning
capacity increased to SEK 307 million at an annual rate as per January 1, 2016
as compared with SEK 205 million at the beginning of last year. Increases in
value in the property portfolio during the quarter amounted to SEK 867 million,
after deductions for investments, and SEK 1,307 million for the entire year.

Taken as a whole, the improvements entail a strong improvement in reported
earnings. The profit for the quarter before taxes was SEK 952 million, and for
the entire year all of SEK 1,421 million, as compared with SEK 194 million for
the fourth quarter of 2014 and SEK 306 million for all of 2014. Earnings per
share after taxes amounted to SEK 10.37 as compared with SEK 2.01 for the fourth
quarter of 2014. This means a profit after taxes for the year of SEK 1,139
million, which corresponds to SEK 16.10 per share.

We will continue on our chosen path this year seeking out additional
acquisitions in the Stockholm region and will continue our work in renovating
our portfolio, which will further increase our profitability. We will also push
the development of building rights, so that we can start new construction during
next year
