 Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO:
"Wallenstam stands strong - we are built in such a way that we can withstand crises as well as possible, a direct result of my own experience from the crises I have been through. Apart from strong finances, we have commercial properties in central Gothenburg and residential properties in attractive residential areas in the Gothenburg and Stockholm regions."

"The profit for the quarter is completely in line with our expectations, as the pandemic has not affected our numbers for the first quarter. Income from property management is increasing. The valuation of our investment properties is unchanged. We adjust, as always, the value of our efficient new construction projects in line with their production, and gradually recognize the value that we create."
