  • Kungsleden is reiterating its forecast of profit for calculating dividends of SEK 600 mln for the financial year 2005.


"The result of our property trading improved considerably, despite the fact that we only sold six properties for a total of SEK 155 mln. Meanwhile, we acquired as many as 70 properties for a total of SEK 2.4 bln and thereby laid the foundation for the new business area Care Properties. These properties fit well into our business concept of owning and managing real estate generating high and stable returns", says Jens Engwall, CEO, commenting on the first quarter.
