Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs, comments on the second quarter:

"The operating surplus in the second quarter increased to SEK 764 million, the highest ever for a single quarter. Tenant activity remained strong and net lettings amounted to SEK 21 million. Many tenants are still prone to change, but with a close dialogue, good relationships and a broad portfolio of properties, we usually succeed in creating solutions that are good both for them and for us."

"Our choice to continue investing, even in the recent more challenging years, provides us with good opportunities for growth. During the quarter, we expanded our project portfolio and acquired an office property in a very good location. It complements our existing range of premises in the area, and we have the opportunity to significantly improve the property in terms of letting, operation and energy performance."

"We have continued the environmental certification of our properties and energy efficiency enhancements are being implemented on an ongoing basis.  Our proprietary "Janne solution" provides great energy savings wherever we can install it. During the quarter, we also decided to invest in our first battery storage system at one of our properties and developed requirements for the procurement of solar panels that takes into account their impact on people and the environment."
