Income from property management for the period, i.e. net income excluding changes in value and tax, amounted to SEKm 473 (442), equivalent to SEK 2.88 (2.70) per share. The improvement is 7% and is due to higher rental income and the effect of investments made but has also been limited by increased interest rate costs.

The net leasing amounted to SEKm 62 (58).

In order to show the uncertainty seen on the real estate market the required yield in the internal valuation has been increased also in the second quarter. The value of the properties have been reduced with SEKm -467 (374) in total. The changes in value on derivatives amounted to SEKm 60 (120). Net income for the period was SEKm 49 (674), equivalent to SEK 0.30 (4.11) per share.

"The net leasing and pace of investment continued to be on a high level in Castellum. Furthermore Castellum has during the second quarter, increased the long term credit facilities with SEK 2 billions to secure the possibility for a continued high pace of investments in an interesting market situation." comments Castellum's CEO, Håkan Hellström
