The early part of 2009 was also strongly marked by the global financial crisis that started in the US in 2007, leading to a sharp decline in most economies through- out the world. What happened may be likened to a global cramp in the world economy. As a result of massive fiscal and monetary policy efforts from the G20 countries, some economic stabilization occurred during the summer and autumn of 2009. When this re- port was written, the economic decline had bottomed out. Recovery is pending, but its strength is difficult to project at this time. The financial system has stabilized and is now functioning relatively well, although new surprises cannot be ruled out.

Stock markets worldwide started to recover in the second quarter of 2009 and, as always, were well ahead of real economic growth. The Swedish stock market rose a favorable 47% in 2009, the strongest year for the stock market since 1999. In the fourth quarter, many industrial companies reported an increase in order bookings, a trend that is expected to continue during 2010.

A challenge in the years ahead will be the gradual but inevitable discontinuation of stimulus measures, which will present a difficult tightrope act for G20 member countries. Personally, I believe we will begin to see a return to growth in most of the world’s major econo- mies. For Sweden, which has managed the financial crisis quite well, the situation looks promising. Swedish industry has a strong position in relation to its international competitors. The Swedish stock market has discounted an improvement for its companies, but additional upside potential will probably emerge in parallel with the confirma- tion of increased business activity.

Lundbergs’ performance

For 2009, Lundbergs reported consolidated after-tax profit of SEK 2,119 m (loss: 2,025). As in the preceding year, unrealized changes in property values were charged against earnings. Excluding impair- ment losses/reversals of impairment losses and unrealized value changes, Lundbergs’ operating profit amounted to SEK 3,544 m.

(3,186). Net asset value per share after deferred tax rose 27% during the year to SEK 452 (356).

Lundbergs’ Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting approve a dividend of SEK 6.50 (6.00) per share. The motion

should be viewed in the light of the ongoing stabilization in the global economy and our strong financial position. As noted during many other financial crises and periods of economic recession, we recognize the importance of maintaining a strong financial position.

The ability to remain composed and not become dependent on external financiers is of critical importance to our capacity to protect the values in our company.

After rain comes sun, and so it is again. Instead of being forced to sell assets in a weak market, or pay high costs for loans, we are concentrating on managing our investments as prudently as possible. We also have scope to take advantage of new business opportunities that weaker players are not able to pursue. As a major shareholder in various companies, the capacity to infuse fresh capital if and when necessary is an important strength. The companies would otherwise run the risk of weakening and, in turn, decline in value. During 2009, we subscribed for our share of Husqvarna’s new issue and guaranteed additional money over and above our allot- ment. The issue was completed successfully, and the share value has increased sharply since the issue.

Our interest-bearing liabilities at year-end 2009 amounted to SEK 3.1 billion, corresponding to 10% of our assets (see page 12). If our liabilities were attributed totally to our property operations, the loan- to-value ratio would amount to 33%, and our publicly listed shares would be completely free of debt. Our credit rating with Standard

& Poor’s, which was confirmed in August 2009, remains strong, A+, with a stable outlook.

Fastighets AB L E Lundberg

Lundbergs’ consolidated financial statements include operating profit of SEK 157 m. (60) reported by the wholly owned subsidi- ary Fastighets AB L E Lundberg. As in the preceding year, profit was charged with unrealized declines in values in the real estate portfolio, which were estimated at 2.7% (4.4) in 2009, excluding new investments. The decline was due mainly to a higher required yield on commercial properties.

The rental market for housing remained strong during the year. A modest decline was noted in demand for office and retail premises, primarily in Stockholm. The vacancy rate in February 2010 was about 3.4%, comprising 2.2% for residential properties and 4.3%

for commercial premises.

The new investment project in a commercial property in the center of Jönköping (about SEK 165 m.) was completed during the first quarter of 2010. A new construction project comprising a com- plete city block in central Norrköping was started in August 2009, and includes garage space, retail premises and offices. The project

President’s review

“I can assure you that the level of activity in our portfolio compa- nies is high, and that difficult and important decisions are being made continuously concerning acquisi- tions, investments, financing issues, appointments to management positions and other concerns. This is where value is created for our shareholders, one building stone at a time, from a long-term industrial perspective.”

LUNDBERGS 2009

is scheduled for completion in autumn 2011 and the investment will total about SEK 420 m. Two-thirds of the office space is leased to the Swedish Transport Agency in Norrköping.

Total investments in properties during 2009 amounted to SEK 321 m.

In December 2009, an agreement was signed to acquire a centrally located retail sales and office building in Linköping for SEK 372 m. The property is situated in the city’s best commercial location for retail stores, and we took over the property on January 15, 2010.

We currently also have several new construction projects in the analysis and planning stages in centrally located parts of Linköping and Norrköping. The projects, which are expected to begin in the next few years, have a total investment volume of approximately SEK 2 billion.

Portfolio companies

During 2009, we acquired publicly listed shares for a total of SEK 362 m., including investments in Husqvarna and Industrivärden amounting to SEK 266 m. and SEK 78 m., respectively, as well as lesser amounts in Holmen and Hufvudstaden.

In February 2010, we divested our entire shareholding in NCC for SEK 1.2 billion, generating a capital gain of SEK 439 m. Lundbergs has been part owner of NCC since the merger with Siab 13 years ago, and we achieved a favorable return that comfortably exceeded the stock market average.

Holmen reported higher earnings in 2009 as a result of increased prices for newsprint and board. Weak demand, however, necessitated comprehensive production cutbacks that had a negative impact on earn- ings. Construction of Holmen’s new sawmill next to the Braviken paper

(7)

mill outside Norrköping is proceeding as planned. The new sawmill is expected to begin operations at year-end 2010.

During 2009, continued improvement was noted in earnings from Hufvudstaden’s ongoing business operations. As in the preced- ing year, however, earnings were charged with unrealized value declines in the property portfolio and, as a result, Hufvudstaden reported a loss for 2009. The rental market declined during the first half of the year, but some stabilization was noted during the fourth quarter and the early part of 2010. The company’s financial position remained strong.

Cardo’s order bookings and sales declined in 2009 due to the global economic slowdown. Thanks to a reduction in costs and unchanged or higher margins, the shortfall in earnings was curtailed.

Cardo’s cash flow was extremely strong, which led to a sharp decline in net debt.

Industrivärden’s net asset value increased at a faster rate than the stock-market average in 2009. The portfolio remained largely unchanged during the year. In January 2010, Industrivärden issued a five-year convertible loan totaling EUR 500 m. The loan was raised to take advantage of a good market opportunity to access favorable financing with potential to strengthen its capital base.

Indutrade was impacted by the economic slowdown, which resulted in lower order bookings and sales. The decline in its profit margin was limited, however, and the company reported favorable earnings under the conditions prevailing in 2009.

During the past year, Husqvarna implemented comprehensive changes to reduce costs and improve its competitiveness. Weak de- mand in Europe and the US, combined with nonrecurring costs, had a negative impact on earnings, although cash flow remained strong.

Sandvik was impacted severely by the weak market conditions during 2009. Order bookings declined for all business areas, but remained strong in the energy sector and large parts of the Asian market. Efforts to reduce the company’s working capital and cost base were charged against earnings, but improved the operating cash flow.

Handelsbanken reported strong earnings in 2009. Net interest items continued to improve. Loan losses rose, but remained at a low level in relation to other Nordic banks.

Future outlook

Our property operations are now entering a new phase in the shape of the new construction projects now in progress and others that we plan to pursue. These projects will rejuvenate our property portfolio and create completely new properties, both residential and commercial, with high standards, modern design and healthy operating economies. We also plan to strengthen our project organization, while the management organization does not need to be increased more than marginally. We might even consider acquisi- tions of centrally located commercial properties in some of the cities

where we are already established, in order to develop these holdings through refurbishment and expansion projects.

Our wholly owned property operations consist of stable busi- ness activities with strong cash flow and favorable long-term value growth, which provides us with a strong base.

Our investments in eight publicly listed companies represent different industrial sectors, sizes and risk levels. We are the principal shareholder in Holmen, Hufvudstaden and Cardo, and one of the major shareholders in our other portfolio companies.

We see favorable development opportunities in all our portfolio companies, naturally with different risk levels and potential. Our business model is based on exercising active ownership in order to promote the development of these companies and, thereby, create a healthy direct return and value growth in our investments. And we have been successful in these endeavors for many years. Over the past 10 years, shareholders in Lundbergs have received an average total return of 15.3% annually, compared with stock market’s average return of 2.2% annually. Accordingly, an investment of SEK 100 made 10 years ago is now worth slightly more than SEK 400, compared with the stock market average return of about SEK 125. During the next few years, we plan to continue to invest in the portfolio compa- nies, and some new companies may also be added to the portfolio.

Lundbergs is criticized occasionally for not being sufficiently active. Our critics claim that we do not buy or sell shareholdings very often, and that we are boring over the long term. I can assure you that we have a high level of activity in our portfolio companies, where difficult and important decisions are being made continu- ously concerning acquisitions, investments, financing issues, ap- pointments to management positions and other concerns. This is where value is created for our shareholders, one building stone at a time, from a long-term industrial perspective. The facts speak for themselves, and I am convinced that our shareholders would not have received a higher return with a short-term business model that changes shareholdings with much greater frequency.

Granted, there are many different ways to generate a strong return on capital, but we will continue to operate with our model.

Our financial policy is important for the creation of discipline and our success as a strong player both in the portfolio companies and other investment situations. I believe our approach has been a critical fac- tor in the successful development of our various companies.

It is my belief and my aim that, in the future, our shareholders will continue to receive a favorable return on the Lundberg share..

Lundbergs is an investment company that manages and develops a number of companies based on active, long-term ownership. The asset portfolio includes the wholly owned real estate company Fastighets AB L E Lundberg and the publicly traded subsidiaries and associated companies Cardo, Holmen and Hufvud- staden. Lundbergs also has substantial holdings in Handelsbanken, Husqvarna, Industrivärden, Indutrade and Sandvik.

Strategy and objective

Lundbergs’ objective is to generate a return on invested capital over time that substantially exceeds the yield on a risk-free interest-bear- ing investment. Lundbergs’ strategy is to generate such a return and value appreciation while maintaining a low risk. Investments focus mainly on companies characterized by solid market positions, strong

and stable cash flow and that have their own products and brands.

The financial risk is minimized by combining low indebtedness with good access to funds. The time perspective of Lundbergs’ owner- ship enables the companies and their management to adopt a long-term approach in their efforts to improve market positions and competitive strengths. Long-term ownership is usually accompanied by participation on boards of directors. Lundbergs is represented on the boards of all of its portfolio companies.

Assets

Lundbergs’ assets are concentrated to a few major holdings. The real estate holdings, through the wholly owned subsidiary Fastig- hets AB L E Lundberg and shares in Hufvudstaden, represented a value of SEK 15.2 billion on February 19, 2010, or 49% of the Group’s total assets. The shareholdings in Cardo, Handelsbanken Holmen, Husqvarna, Industrivärden, Indutrade and Sandvik accounted for SEK 15.7 billion or 50% of total assets.

Organization

Lundbergs long-term investment work is conducted in a small organization that represents a wealth of collective experience.

The organization that focuses on investment activities and active ownership has about ten employees, including the personnel of the subsidiary L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning. The wholly owned real estate holdings are separated in organizational terms from the Par- ent Company and are assigned the same status as the Group’s other major investments. Management expenses in relation to total assets amounted to 0.15% during 2009.

L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning AB

L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning is a subsidiary that engages in securities trading. The objective of operations is to utilize macro- economic and corporate analyses in order to generate a favorable return on capital employed. In addition to securities trading, the company accounts for the analysis and follow-up of other invest- ments within the Group. The securities trading activities include equities and equity-related instruments. Although shares listed on Nasdaq OMX Nordic account for most of the investments, invest- ments may also be made in other mature markets. The value of the portfolio at year-end was SEK 288 m. The organization consists of five employees.

Investment activities

In 2009, shares with a total value of SEK 362 m. were acquired, primarily in Husqvarna and Industrivärden. A total of SEK 266 m. was invested in Husqvarna through participation in a rights issue and share purchases. Industrivärden shares at a value of SEK 78 m. were acquired.

In February 2010, the entire holding in NCC, corresponding to 10% of the share capital and 22% of the voting rights, was divested.

In total, the sale generated slightly more than SEK 1.2 billion and the capital gain was SEK 439 m. after tax. Lundbergs had been a shareholder of NCC since 1997. The total return on the investment over the entire holding period amounted to slightly more than 11%

percent annually.

Return

Lundbergs’ mission is to generate a healthy absolute return for its shareholders through growth in dividends and net asset value. Since 2000, net asset value per share after deferred tax has grown by an average of 8.2% annually. During 2009, net asset value after deferred tax increased 27%. Total annual return1 over the past 10 years has averaged 15.3%. Total annual return over the past five-year period has averaged 7.2%. The total return in 2009 was 22.2%. Interest- bearing net debt in relation to market-valued assets on December 31, 2009 amounted to 10% (12). The corresponding value during the past 10-year period has varied between 7 and 13%. Accordingly, the total return has been generated consistently together with low financial risk.

Net asset value

On December 31, 2009, net asset value after deferred tax amounted to SEK 28,046 m. (SEK 452 per share), compared with SEK 22,073 m.

(SEK 356 per share) at December 31, 2008; see table page 12. On February 19, 2010, estimated net asset value per share after deferred tax amounted to SEK 27,550 m. (SEK 444 per share).

Cash flow

During 2009, dividends totaling SEK 882 m. (1,251) were received.

Funds contributed through real estate operations amounted to SEK 274 m. (385), while the sale of securities generated an expense of SEK 95 m. (revenues: 129). Accordingly, total funds received amounted to SEK 1,061 m. (1,765). During the year, SEK 362 m. (281) was invested in shares and SEK 178 m. (99) in properties. Dividends paid by Lund- bergs amounted to SEK 372 m. (558). Interest-bearing assets rose SEK 153 m. and interest-bearing liabilities rose SEK 207 m. Accordingly, interest-bearing net debt increased SEK 54 m. to SEK 3,070 m. (3,016) at December 31, 2009. For additional information, see the cash flow report on page 13.

1) The total return is defined as the sum total of the change in the share price and reinvested dividends.

Lundbergs throughout the ages

In 1944, Lars Erik Lundberg founded the construction company that came to serve as the basis of the Lundbergs that we have today. Through the construction, ownership and management of both residential and commercial properties, the company has gradually developed from a local construction company to a stable and financially strong investment company.

Since its initial listing on the stock exchange in 1983, the company has grown in several different industries.

Today, Lundbergs is the principal or major owner of a number of carefully selected portfolio companies with solid market positions and stable cash flows.

Fastighets AB L E Lundberg is one of the major private real estate owners in Sweden. The real estate portfolio consists largely of centrally located residential, office and retail proper- ties. With strategic positions in several of Sweden’s expansive municipalities, the company is well positioned for continued strong growth.

The real estate holdings include 150 wholly and jointly owned management properties in 15 municipalities throughout central and southern Sweden, with particular focus on major metropolitan areas and university cities. The portfolio also includes about 70 development objects. Most of the hold- ings in the real estate portfolio were built during the construction-intensive years of the 1960s and 1970s, and consist largely of structures built on a proprietary basis. The division between residential and commer- cial properties is relatively even at 49% and 51%, respectively, of rental value.

Business concept and strategy

Fastighets AB L E Lundberg’s business con- cept is to manage and develop residential and commercial properties in municipalities where favorable growth is expected.

The company focuses on:

low sensitivity to economic fluctuations

through even distribution between resi- dential and commercial properties comprehensive local market knowledge

through a decentralized organization effective management with high levels of

tenant service

optimal operating and development

gains based on the potential of each individual property.

Market trend

Most of the municipalities in which the company is active have shown population growth in recent years, which is favorable for the local rental market. The rental market for commercial premises was stable during 2009, although some signs of sluggishness were noted in the Stockholm and Gothen- burg markets. Demand for office space improved somewhat during the fourth quarter of 2009, and demand for residential and retail premises remained strong.

Since the real estate portfolio is concen- trated in central locations, it is believed that Fastighets AB L E Lundberg will have favora- ble opportunities to maintain a high leasing rate. Because a number of the municipalities in which the company is represented show favorable growth, several centrally located new construction projects have been studied, and some of these projects may be started in the next few years.

Organization

The company’s property management is divided into four regions: Gothenburg, Stockholm, Western and Eastern. The management group includes the President, Vice President, regional managers, financial director, project development manager and rental administration manager. The or- ganization constitutes an excellent platform for a continued focus on current property management operations, combined with opportunities to further improve and develop new and existing properties in attractive locations. Property management and development operations are led by four regional managers. Everyday management and rental activities are handled locally by the respective offices. Project development operations are conducted centrally from the head office in Norrköping, which also has resources for administration, operation, accounting, information, purchasing, IT, and environmental and quality matters.

Regions

The Gothenburg region comprises Gothenburg and Jönköping. Robust demand for housing is creating a favorable rental situation in the region. Demand for commercial properties is stable. In Gothenburg, a major office remod- eling project on behalf of the police authori- ties at the Stampen property started in 2006.

The project was completed in January 2010 at a total investment of about SEK 130 m. At the Ansvaret block in Jönköping, construction of a new retail and office property is under way.

The project will be completed and ready for occupancy during the first quarter of 2010, and the investment will total about SEK 165 m.

The Stockholm region consists of Enköping, Eskilstuna, Nyköping, Solna, Stockholm, Södertälje and Uppsala. The close proximity of the municipalities to Stockholm contributes to favorable rental conditions. The company’s real estate holdings in Solna, Stockholm and Uppsala consist mainly of commercial premises, while housing accounts for 84% of managed properties in Eskilstuna, Nyköping and Södertälje. Demand for housing in the region is healthy. The rental situation for com- mercial premises remains favorable.

The Western region consists of Arvika, Karl- stad and Örebro. Supported by strong demand for housing, as well as office and retail space, the rental situation is favorable throughout the region. In Karlstad, a major refurbishment of the Potatisen residential property was completed during the first quarter of 2009 and the invest- ment amounted to SEK 20 m.

The Eastern region comprises Katrineholm, Linköping and Norrköping, with about 70% of the portfolio concentrated in Norrköping. The rental situation for housing, retail premises and offices is favorable throughout the region. In Norrköping, a major renovation project has been in progress since July 2009 in the Lyckan property. The project will consist of 16,000 square meters of office space, 2,300 square meters of retail premises and about 300 parking places. A total of two-thirds of the

Agency. The investment is estimated at SEK 420 m. Disponenten 2, a retail and office prop- erty in central Linköping, was acquired for a purchase price of SEK 371.5 m. and access was gained on January 15, 2010. An agreement was signed on February 24 with Linköping’s municipal property company for the acquisi- tion of Konsuln 3. The property is situated at Stångån, a highly attractive location in the center of the city, where the company plans to build residential and commercial premises.

Development properties

The development properties are situated mainly in central Sweden and comprise 2,520 hectares of farmland, forestland and centrally located sites distributed among about 70 objects. The property development opera- tions transform properties into sites suitable for commercial development and create new projects for resale. This is achieved through active involvement in planning and property formation matters, and through cooperation with parties who need developable land. De- tailed development plans are being prepared for approximately 1,000 single-family homes and apartments in such locations as Haninge, Mariefred, Norrköping and Nyköping. During 2009, sales of development properties gener- ated revenues of SEK 5 m. (47).

Quality and the environment

The operations of Fastighets AB L E Lundberg have been quality certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 since 1998. The company is also environmentally certified in accordance with ISO 14001:2004 and energy certified in accordance with SS-EN 16001:2009. In addi- tion, one of the company’s subsidiaries is an accredited control unit for conducting energy declarations. The company works proactively to increase the energy efficiency of its proper- ties, with the aim of reducing total energy consumption and improving the indoor resi- dential climate for tenants.

marked with the “Good Environmental Choice” label, as approved by the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation. New projects now being planned will be implemented in full compli- ance with environmental awareness considerations with respect to materials and energy consumption. The property included in the Lyckan project in Norrköping will be heated and air con- ditioned via ground-source heat pumps which, combined with electricity marked with the Good Environmental Choice label, result in zero CO2 emissions from heating and cooling.

Sales and earnings

Net sales, including revenues from sales of development prop- erties, amounted to SEK 914 m. (930). The decline was due to reduced sales of development properties. Operating expenses for electricity, heat, water and waste disposal increased SEK 8 m.

compared with the preceding year, due to higher fees and tax- es. Maintenance costs rose to SEK 329 m. (251). The rise derived from an increase of SEK 94 m. in costs for tenant adaptations and a decrease of SEK 16 m. in costs for planned maintenance measures. Operating profit amounted to SEK 185 m. (313).

In February 2009, the vacancy rate in the real estate port- folio was 3.4%, with the vacancy rate for residential premises amounting to 2.2% and that for other premises to 4.3%. In the real estate portfolio, holdings of investment properties had a fair value of SEK 8,964 m. (8,836) on December 31, 2009 and development properties a fair value of SEK 231 m. (212). Proper- ties in prime locations and well-maintained buildings, com- bined with low vacancy rates and continued investments in the existing real estate portfolio, are key factors contributing to the unchanged or increased value of the investment properties.

Hufvudstaden

Hufvudstaden, which was founded in 1915, is one of Sweden’s lead- ing real estate companies. The company’s business concept is to use its own properties in central Stockholm and Gothenburg to offer high-quality office and retail premises to successful companies in attractive marketplaces.

Hufvudstaden’s real estate portfolio is concentrated in inner-city parts of Stock- holm and Gothenburg. The company owns commercial office and retail properties within the city centers’ business districts, including Hamngatan, Norrmalmstorg, Biblioteksgatan and Kungsgatan in Stock- holm and Vallgraven and Östra Nordstan in Gothenburg. This makes Hufvudstaden one of the most specialized and geographi- cally concentrated real estate companies in Sweden. Rentable space totals slightly more than 350,000 square meters, with an annual rental value of SEK 1.4 billion. The fair value of the real estate portfolio at year-end 2009 was SEK 18.1 billion.

Business areas

The operation is divided into three business areas. Stockholm Eastern City comprises 16 properties with total rentable space of 145,000 square meters.

Stockholm Western City comprises nine properties with total rentable space of 150,000 square meters. This business area includes the NK properties in Stockholm and Gothenburg and the NK brand. It also includes the subsidiary Parkaden, which has parking operations in two of Hufvudstaden’s properties.

The Gothenburg business area con- sists of four properties with total rentable space of 59,000 square meters. The largest property includes the Femman department store, which is part of the Nordstans shop- ping mall.

Hufvudstaden has proprietary resources for ongoing operations and maintenance, and works actively to develop the high qual- ity and efficiency of its real estate portfolio with the aim of creating favorable value growth. Changes and improvements are implemented on a regular basis. Through development measures, the premises are given high technology standards and more space-efficient layouts, which contribute to improved operating net and higher returns.

Financial objective

Hufvudstaden’s financial objective is to achieve favorable, sustained dividend growth, and the dividend should represent more than half of the net profit from operat- ing activities. Over time, the equity/assets ratio should amount to at least 40%.
