The year in brief
3The President’s review
Favorable growth in 2006
Economic growth was high in large parts of the world during 2006. Particularly strong development was noted in China, In- dia and other countries in Asia, as well as Eastern Europe and Russia. The Nordic countries also showed favorable growth, and increased economic activity was noted in Germany. Eco- nomic development in other parts of Europe was fragmented.
Inflation remained relatively low in the major economies, but interest rates increased across the board. Sweden showed continued high growth in relation to the rest of Europe and trends on the Stockholm Exchange were strong, with values rising 24% after a substantial increase of 32% in 2005.
Strong year for Lundbergs
Lundbergs reported a consolidated, after-tax profit of SEK 6,121 m. (2005: 3,897) in 2006. Less minority interests, after- tax profit amounted to SEK 3,193 m. (2,261). The earnings improvement was mainly attributable to value changes in Group properties.
Net asset value per share after deferred tax rose 27%
during the year to SEK 535 (421). The Lundberg share price increased 32%, generating a total return to shareholders of 35% in 2006. Over the past five years, shareholders in Lund- bergs have received an average total return of 26% per year, compared with the average index return of 13%. The corre- sponding return over the past 10 years is 20%, compared with an average index return of 13%.
Lundberg’s Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of SEK 8.50 per share, compared with SEK 7.75 per share for the preceding year. Accordingly, dividend growth over the past 10 years has averaged 10%
annually.
Our financial position remains strong. In relation to the market value of our assets (see page 10), net debt amounted to 7%. It has always been Lundberg’s philosophy to maintain a low level of net debt, which has proved over time to be successful. Our financial strength has enabled us, on many occasions, to accept challenges and move aggressively in situ- ations that were uncertain and risk-filled. As a result, we have been able to capitalize on investment opportunities that, in retrospect, generated favorable capital returns.
Fastighets AB L E Lundberg
Lundbergs’ consolidated accounts include operating profit of SEK 1,109 m. (950) reported by Fastighets AB L E Lund- berg. The increase was mainly attributable to value changes in the property portfolio. Higher expenses for maintenance and rebuilding were charged against earnings. After adjust- ment for divestments and investments, the property portfolio’s value growth during the year amounted to about 9%. The main reason for the increase in value was the market’s lower required return. Significant interest both from Swedish and foreign buyers contributed to the lower return requirement.
Most of our property holdings in Enköping were sold during the year for SEK 68 m. In Stockholm, rebuilding of a centrally located residential and office property was completed for a total of approximately SEK 127 m. The rental market for office premises showed general improvement during 2006. Demand for retail premises remained stable. Demand for housing remained strong, even in smaller communities, which led to low vacancy rates. The total vacancy rate in our property portfolio in February 2007 was 2.5%, comprising 0.9% for residential properties and 3.4% for commercial premises.

Portfolio companies
During 2006, we acquired shares in Handelsbanken for SEK 493 m. and shares in Sandvik for SEK 443 m. In February 2007, we invested an additional SEK 353 m. in Sandvik shares and SEK 466 m. in Handelsbanken shares. We believe the investments will generate sustained long-term value growth and a favorable risk spread in our portfolio.
Holmen reported higher earnings in 2006 compared with earnings in the preceding year. Favorable development was noted for Iggesund Paperboard (cartonboard), as well as Holmen Timber and Holmen Skog (forest). Despite higher costs for energy, wood and recycled paper, Holmen Paper (printing paper) reported improved earnings as a result of higher prices and increased deliveries. The new newsprint machine in Madrid was placed in operation toward year-end 2005. High energy and recycled paper prices had negative effects on earnings during 2006, while increased production volume had a positive impact. Low water supplies had a negative impact on earnings by Holmen Energi.
Hufvudstaden’s earnings increased sharply in 2006 as a result of unrealized value changes in the property portfolio and divestment of the World Trade Center (WTC) property in Stockholm. The rental market for office premises in Stockholm improved, resulting in higher rent levels. Demand for rental premises remained strong. In Gothenburg, the rental market for office and retail premises was stable. The vacancy rate de- clined in Hufvudstaden’s overall property portfolio. In view of the favorable development and divestment of WTC, the Board of Directors has proposed an extra dividend totaling approxi- mately SEK 2 billion.
Cardo’s earnings in 2006 increased marginally compared with the preceding year. Organic growth was favorable and positive effects were derived from a couple of company ac- quisitions. The comprehensive changes implemented in Cardo during 2005 and 2006 are now beginning to yield results.
NCC had a very good year, with higher sales and order bookings, and the company reported record earnings. The Nordic construction market remained strong, with particular emphasis on housing construction, but the contracting sector also developed well. As in the preceding year, the Board has proposed an extra dividend of slightly more than SEK 1 bil- lion.
Our investment in Industrivärden has shown highly posi- tive development. The shares in Industrivärden’s portfolio of companies continued to perform favorably, generating good value growth. Most of these companies have first-class market positions and are included among the leaders in their respec- tive industrial sectors.
The investment in Indutrade has also developed favorably.
Supported by organic growth and acquisitions, the company showed strong growth during 2006 and earnings increased.
Future outlook
Through investments over the past five-year period, Lundbergs has achieved a significant risk spread in business operations.
Our wholly owned property management activities provide a good cash flow and, over time, value appreciation. Combined with the holding in Hufvudstaden, properties now account for slightly more than 40% of our assets. In addition to our primary ownership in Hufvudstaden, Holmen and Cardo, we are now a major shareholder in five companies of varying types and size. We believe these companies, within their respective sectors, have good potential for favorable devel- opment. We look upon these investments, accordingly, in a long-term perspective. We shall also continue to diversify our operations over the long term. This could entail investments in new companies, but also a more intensified commitment in one or some of our portfolio companies. With our strong financial position, I believe we shall continue to have the ability to capitalize on interesting investment opportunities.
Our earnings goal is to achieve a return on our investments in the form of value growth and direct return on invested capital that, over time, exceeds risk-free interest by a broad margin.
It is my firm belief and ambition this will provide Lundbergs’
shareholders with a continued favorable total return on invest- ment, compared with other investment alternatives.

As a supplement to reporting in accordance with IFRS (pages 29-72), Lundberg’s cash flow is reported in this section as if it were an investment company based on the Parent Company and the wholly owned subsidiaries. This procedure means that Fastighets AB L E Lundberg is reported as a fully consolidated company and not as a shareholding, which is a modification compared with the reporting in 2005.
Lundbergs is an investment company that manages and develops a number of companies based on active, long- term ownership. The asset portfolio in- cludes the wholly owned unlisted real estate company Fastighets AB L E Lundberg and the publicly traded subsidiaries and associated companies Cardo, Holmen, Hufvudstaden and NCC. Lundbergs also has substantial holdings in Handelsbanken, Indus- trivärden, Indutrade and Sandvik.
Lundbergs’ objective is to generate a return on invested capital over time that substantially exceeds the yield on a risk-free interest-bearing investment.
Lundbergs’ strategy is to generate such a return and value appreciation while maintaining a low risk. Investments focus mainly on companies character-
ized 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’
ownership enables the companies and their management to adopt a long-term approach in their efforts to develop mar- ket positions and competitive strengths.
Long-term ownership is usually accom- panied by participation on boards of directors. Lundbergs is represented on the boards of Cardo, Handelsbanken, Holmen, Hufvudstaden, Industrivärden, Indutrade, NCC and Sandvik.
Assets
Lundbergs’ assets are concentrated to a few major holdings. The real estate holdings, through wholly owned sub-
Lundbergs becomes the principal owner of Cardo. Wholly owned property portfolio is concentrated through divestment to Realia.
sidiary Fastighets AB L E Lundberg and shares in Hufvudstaden, represented a value of SEK 15.9 billion at the end of 2006, or 43% of the Group’s total assets. The shareholdings in Cardo, Handelsbanken Holmen, Industri- värden, Indutrade, NCC and Sandvik accounted for SEK 20.6 billion or 56%
of total assets.
Organization
Lundbergs long-term investment work is conducted in a small organization that represents a wealth of collective experi- ence. The organization that focuses on investment activities and active owner- ship 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 Parent Company and are assigned the same status as the Group’s other ma- jor investments. Management expenses in relation to total assets amounted to 0.11% during 2006.
L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning AB L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning is a subsidiary that engages in securities trading. The objective of operations is to utilize macroeconomic and corporate analyses in order to generate a favorable return on capital employed. In addition to securities trading, the company ac- counts for the analysis and follow-up of other investments within the Group.
The securities trading activities include equities and equity-related instruments.
Although shares listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange account for most of the investments, investments may also be
made in other mature markets. Gross exposure, calculated as the sum total of the market value of long-term and short-term holdings, as well as exposure via derivatives, amounted to SEK 300 m.
at year-end. The organization consists of five employees.
Investment activities
During 2006, additional shares in Handelsbanken and Sandvik were acquired in the amount of SEK 493 m.
and SEK 443 m. respectively, a total of SEK 937 m. In February 2007, an ad- ditional SEK 466 m. in Handelsbanken shares and SEK 353 m. in Sandvik shares was invested. Handelsbanken is one of the leading universal banks in the Nordic region and Sandvik is one of Sweden’s leading global engineering companies. The investments in these

Return
Lundbergs’ mission is to generate a healthy absolute return for its share- holders. This is to be achieved through growth in both net asset value and dividends. During 2006, net asset value per share rose by 27% after deferred tax.
Since 1997, net asset value per share af- ter deferred tax has grown by an annual average of 15%.
The average total annual return1 has been 20% during the past ten years and
26% over the past five years. The total re- turn in 2006 was 35%. Interest-bearing net indebtedness in relation to market valued assets2 on December 31, 2006 amounted to 7% (8) during the same period. During the past ten-year period, the corresponding figure has varied be- tween 1% and 13%. Accordingly, total return was generated by consistent low financial risks.
Cash flow
During 2006, dividends received to- taled SEK 877 m. (994). Funds received from the sale of securities amounted to SEK 147 m. (984) and SEK 430 m. (787)
was received from real estate opera- tions. Accordingly, total funds received amounted to SEK 1,454 m.
A total of SEK 937 (1,630) was in- vested in shares and SEK 86 m. (168) in real estate. Own dividends amounted to SEK 481 m.
Interest-bearing assets increased by SEK 12 m. and interest-bearing liabili- ties by SEK 321 m. At December 31, 2006, interest-bearing net indebtedness increased by SEK 309 m. to a total of SEK 519 m. (2,210). For more informa- tion, refer to the cash-flow report on the next page.

compared with SEK 26,078 m.(SEK 421 per share) at the end of 2005.
On February 20, 2007, estimated net asset value after deferred tax was SEK 35,372 m. (SEK 571 per share).

1) The properties’ estimated fair value on December 31, 2006 was SEK 8,521 m. (7,698), of which development properties accounted for SEK 249 m. (226).
2) Publicly traded assets have been entered at the current market price or at the exercise price for written options if the latter price is lower.
3) Other assets, provisions (excl. deferred tax) and liabilities have been entered at the carrying amount at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
4) Deferred tax (28%) has been computed on the basis of the provision to the tax deferral reserve and the difference between the market value and tax-assessment value. Due to legal considerations, from July 1, 2003, deferred tax on
business-related participations was not computed on the basis of the difference between the market value and the tax-assessment value. Deferred tax on the difference between estimated market value and tax-assessment value of properties in Fastighets AB L E Lundberg was assessed at a standard rate of 10%.

Chairman: Fredrik Lundberg CEO: Peter Whass www.lundbergs.se
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 premises.
With strategic positions in several of Sweden’s expansive municipalities, the company is well positioned for contin- ued strong growth.
The real estate holdings include 138 wholly or jointly owned investment properties in 16 municipalities through- out central and southern Sweden, with particular focus on major metropolitan areas and university cities. The portfolio also includes about 80 development objects. Most of the structures 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.
Originally, investments were concen- trated primarily on residential properties but, during the 1980s and 1990s, the portfolio was supplemented by the ad- dition of several commercial properties.
Today, the division between residential and commercial properties is largely unchanged at 48% and 52%, respec- tively, of rentable value.
Business concept and strategy Fastighets AB L E Lundbergs’ business concept is to manage and develop resi- dential and commercial properties in municipalities where favorable growth
is expected. The company focuses on:
– low sensitivity to economic fluctua- tions through an even distribution between residential and commercial properties.
– comprehensive local market knowl- edge through a decentralized organi- zation.
– utilizing the company’s many years of experience in property management and construction operations as the basis for effective management with high levels of tenant service.
– within project development and development operations, to strive for optimal operating and development gains based on the potential of each individual property.
Market trend
The rental market for commercial premises was favorable during 2006, which was evident in the increase in net rentals in regions where we operate.
Demand for offices increased somewhat and the demand for retail premises remained favorable. Demand for hous- ing in major metropolitan regions and cities with colleges and universities also remained favorable.
The real estate portfolio is concen- trated in central locations, and it is es- timated that Fastighets AB L E Lundberg will be able to capitalize on a future increase in demand for commercial properties in attractive locations.
Organization
The company’s management is divided into three regions: Stockholm, West and East. The management group includes the President, Assistant to the President, three regional managers, financial director, project development manager and rental administration manager. The organization provides excellent prerequi- sites for continued focus on current man- agement operations, and the possibility to further improve and develop new and existing properties in attractive locations.
Property-management operations are led by the three regional managers. Eve- ryday management and rental activities are handled locally by the respective offices.
Property-development operations are conducted centrally from the head office in Norrköping, which also has resources for administration, operation, accounting, purchasing, information, IT, and environmental and quality matters.
Regions
The Stockholm region consists of Enköping, Eskilstuna, Nyköping, Solna, Stockholm, Södertälje and Uppsala.
Most of the municipalities in the region are developing favorably due to their close proximity to Stockholm, which supports strong 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.
The region is characterized by generally strong demand for housing.
Conditions for the commercial proper- ties remain favorable, with some risk for increased vacancy in office premises in Solna.
A comprehensive renovation and rebuilding program was initiated in the Klippan office and residential property in Stockholm during 2004. The project was completed in 2006 and the prop- erty is now fully leased.
The Western region consists of Ar- vika, Gothenburg, Jönköping, Karlstad and Örebro, as well as a large industrial property in Landskrona. Supported by strong demand for housing and for of- fice and retail space, the rental situa- tion is favorable throughout the entire region.
In Gothenburg, extensive renova- tions were completed at the Krokslätt property during 2006.
During the year, a major office refurbishment project commenced in the Stampen property. In Jönköping, a preliminary study was conducted to analyze the feasibility of new construc- tion of retail and office premises on the Ansvaret property.
The Eastern region comprises Katrineholm, Linköping and Norr- köping, with about 70% of the region’s portfolio concentrated in Norrköping.
The rental situation for retail premises is favorable throughout the re- gion, while demand for office space has increased somewhat. Tenant turnover in the residential portfolio is high, particu- larly in Norrköping and Katrineholm, while vacancy rates are at acceptable levels.
Investments made in 2005 in the Linden and Spiralen shopping centers contributed significantly to the develop- ment of Norrköping city as an attractive retail location.
Development properties
The development properties are situated mainly in central Sweden and comprise 2,850 hectares of farmland, forests and about 80 objects. The aims of the property-development operations are to develop the properties into sites suitable for commercial development and to create new projects for resale. This is achieved through active involvement in planning and property formation mat- ters, and through cooperation with the parties who need developable land.
Detailed development planning is under way for approximately 600 single-family homes and apartments in such locations as Enköping, Eskilstuna, Nacka, Strängnäs, Svedala and Han- inge. In 2006, detailed development plans for approximately 450 single- family houses and apartments gained legal force. The largest development
project is now in progress at Ekeby- Almby, outside Örebro, where 150 plots of land for single-family homes have been sold.
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’s quality policy, in which security and safety are key considerations, also includes the principal environmental issues.
The greatest environmental impact of operations derives from purchased heat, of which district heating accounts for 99%. The environmental impact of district heating depends on the fuel the district heating supplier uses for the production of heat. During recent years, approximately 80% of district heat- ing procurements has been based on renewable fuel sources.
Investments and divestments Sales of investment properties during the year totaled SEK 83 m. (362), gener- ating capital gains of SEK 60 m. (191).
A comprehensive refurbishment project has been in progress at the Klippan office and residential property in central Stockholm since the autumn of 2004. The project was completed in 2006 and the total investment in the project was SEK 127 m.
