Preliminary financial statement 2016

““We are delivering stable results and exceeding our forecast. Despite a large sale in 2015 and a lower investment rate 2014 – 2015, we are delivering a slightly higher operating surplus than last year. In 2017 we expect to start projects with a total investment volume of approximately SEK 2 billion and several of these will be completed 2018–2019. There is significant potential by means of our large project portfolio in which our new residential business is an important piece of the puzzle in order to build sustainable urban environments,” says Annica Ånäs, CEO of Atrium Ljungberg. “The acquisitions we conducted in 2016 will result in higher income for 2017. The forecast for 2017 amounts to SEK 1,055 million before changes in value and tax, in comparison to the result of SEK 965 million for 2016,” concludes Annica Ånäs.
