Improved operating net and strong net leasing
- Revenue for 2019 increased to SEK 2,423 million (2,385) despite the fact that we have net sold properties and thus lost SEK 52 million in net rental revenue.
- Profit from property management increased by 5.4 per cent to SEK 1,185 million (1,124). The increase is due to higher rental revenue and operating net in like-for-like portfolio terms, and improved net financial items.
- Net leasing continued to progress positively in the fourth quarter, to SEK 37 million (58). The full-year number was SEK 58 million (86).
- Unrealized changes in value on properties amounted to SEK 1,762 million (1,619), corresponding to 5.1 per cent. The value increase is due to a higher rental revenue and a reduction in the required yield.
- At the end of the period, property value was SEK 38,310 million (34,697 million at the beginning of the year).
- Net profit after tax was SEK 2,245 million (2,055), or SEK 10.28 per share (9.41).

CEO's statement
"2019 was a good year for Kungsleden. Profit from property management increased to SEK 1,185 million, which is the highest result in ten years. In-like-for-like portfolio terms, rental revenues and operating net increased by 5.3 and 6.1 per cent respectively thanks to new leasing and renegotiations. We had positive net leasing both in the fourth quarter and for the full year 2019. At year-end, net leasing was SEK 58 million.
Now we're moving into 2020. Our main markets of Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Västerås are in healthy growth, and have continued good demand on their rental- and transaction markets. Then we have our cluster strategy, our attractive customer offer, an exciting project pipeline and committed employees, I'm looking forward to 2020 with confidence," comments Biljana Pehrsson CEO of Kungsleden.
