We continue to view Hemsö Fastigheter's enterprise and financial risk profiles as strong, despite the company's expansion agenda and higher exposure to private-sector corporate tenants than its rated peers. We expect Hemsö will maintain strong financial performance and a resilient balance sheet through 2019, and that management will maintain leverage metrics commensurate with the current rating. We are therefore affirming our 'A-/A-2' global scale and 'K-1' regional scale ratings on Hemsö. The stable outlook reflects our view that Hemsö will maintain its strong enterprise and financial profiles, mitigating risks associated with the company's expansion in the next 24 months. On Dec. 16, 2016, S&P Global Ratings affirmed the 'A-/A-2' long- and short-term issuer credit ratings on Swedish housing provider Hemsö
