## Strategy

The company focuses on expanding and improving its investment property portfolio through new construction, extensions, rebuilds and selective acquisitions. It also emphasizes long-term ownership of concept-built residential and commercial properties, supported by active property management and regional clustering.

- **Expand and renew the property portfolio** (medium-term) — New construction and redevelopment support long-term asset growth and portfolio quality.
- **Strengthen regional scale** (medium-term) — Concentrated ownership in defined regions can improve management efficiency and tenant coverage.
- **Improve portfolio utilization** (short-term) — Higher occupancy and rental value support steadier property management income.

- Grow the investment property base through new construction
- Use extensions, rebuilds and acquisitions to deepen local clusters
- Develop concept buildings for repeatable residential and office formats
- Maintain high occupancy through active property management
- Use regional concentration to improve operating efficiency

## Risks

The business is exposed to valuation risk, interest-rate sensitivity and execution risk because its earnings depend on property values, financing costs and successful development projects. It also faces tenant vacancy risk, regional concentration risk and the usual uncertainties of real estate ownership, including estimates used for fair values and impairment testing.

- **Interest-rate and financing risk** [high] — The portfolio is financed with significant interest-bearing liabilities, making results sensitive to funding costs.
- **Property valuation risk** [high] — Investment properties are carried at fair value, so market yield changes can affect reported asset values.
- **Development execution risk** [medium] — New construction and rebuilds depend on permits, contractors and delivery timing.
- **Vacancy and tenant risk** [medium] — Rental income depends on occupancy and lease renewal across residential and commercial assets.
- **Regional concentration risk** [medium] — The portfolio is concentrated in a limited number of Swedish regions, increasing exposure to local market conditions.

- Property values can move with market yields and local demand
- Interest-bearing debt makes earnings sensitive to financing costs
- Development projects carry construction, timing and cost-overrun risk
- Vacancy and tenant concentration can affect rental income stability
- IFRS estimates and fair values can change reported asset values

## Accounting

The most important accounting judgments are the fair valuation of investment properties, the treatment of construction in progress, and impairment testing of goodwill and other intangibles. Reported results are also affected by IFRS estimates, derivative fair value movements, and lease-related measurements that can change asset and liability carrying values.

- **Investment property fair value** — Reported asset values and value-change gains/losses
- **Construction in progress valuation** — Investment properties and project assets
- **Goodwill and intangible assets** — Balance sheet carrying values and impairment charges
- **Derivative fair value accounting** — Finance income/expense and profit volatility

- Fair value changes on investment properties affect reported earnings
- Construction in progress requires judgment on stage and valuation
- Goodwill and other intangibles need impairment assessment
- Derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss
- IFRS estimates can materially change asset and liability values
