1) Attributable to parent company's shareholders.
Dear shareholders,
The profit from property management attributable to the parent company's shareholders increased by 4% per share to SEK 2.69. For the second quarter, the profit from property management remained unchanged at SEK 1.34 per share compared with the previous year. Increasing the profit from property management per share over time is our single most important goal from a financial perspective. Compared with the same period last year, the net asset value per share and current earnings per share fell by 1% and 4% respectively. Comprehensive income for the first half of the year was slightly negative due to lower property values resulting from rising yield requirements.
As in the market in general, our level of activity regarding purchases and divestments has been low. We are focusing on completing existing projects and remain generally cautious when it comes to new construction starts. Over time, however, I believe that there will still be an opportunity to generate a good yield from our project and building rights portfolio.
As a Group, our associated companies report the same trend as Balder in general, i.e. stable profit from property management with a slight fall in property values due to heightened yield requirements.
This interim report sees Balder completing 18 years in its current form. The net asset value and the trend in the subscription/share price can be seen as of 30 June each year in the table below:
As always, we maintain a strong focus on financing, and the following are worth mentioning:
I believe that perseverance is a very important factor when it comes to building a company and investments in general. Right now, it feels particularly clear that perseverance is the key for us.
I and all co-responsibles are continuing to work hard as usual, and the results will come in time. The situation and the short-term economic prospects are gloomy at present, but in the long term the future looks bright and we are in the right place.
Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer

For 2023, the profit from property management1), i.e. the profit before changes in value and tax, with the current property portfolio, acquisitions and divestments announced, and at current exchange rates, is expected to amount to SEK 6,200m. This forecast was announced in connection with the issuing of the year-end report for January–December 2022.
Balder presents its earning capacity on a twelve-month basis in the table below. It is important to note that the current earning capacity should not be placed on a par with a forecast for the coming twelve months. The earning capacity does not contain, for example, an estimate of rental, vacancy, currency or interest rate changes.
Balder's income statement is also impacted by the development in the value of the property portfolio as well as future property acquisitions and/or property divestments. Additional items affecting the net profit are changes in value of derivatives. None of the above has been considered in the current earning capacity.
The earning capacity is based on the property portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative expenses.
The costs of the interest-bearing liabilities are based on the Group's average interest rate level including the effect of derivative instruments. Tax is calculated using the effective tax rate during each period.

In the current earning capacity as of 30 June 2023, the following exchange rates were used to translate foreign subsidiaries' income statement items.
EUR: 11.79 DKK: 1.58 NOK: 1.01 GBP: 13.72
Profit from property management for the period amounted to SEK 3,302m (3,167), of which the effect of exchange rate fluctuations amounted to SEK 38m (46). Profit from property management attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK 3,099m (2,883), corresponding to an increase per share of 4% to SEK 2.69 (2.58). Profit from property management includes SEK 929m (903) in respect of associated companies.
Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK –1,420m (9,500). Net profit after tax attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK –918m (8,717), corresponding to SEK –0.80 per share (7.79). Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in the value of investment properties of SEK –4,246m (5,587), realised changes in the value of investment properties of SEK 27m (36), net profit from the sale of development properties of SEK 222m (24), changes in value in interest rate derivatives and option component convertible of SEK 104m (1,200) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK –216m (1,980).
Rental income increased by 15% to SEK 5,838m (5,057), of which the effect of changes in exchange rate fluctuations was SEK 181m (97). This increase is due primarily to acquisitions and completed projects for own management, as well as an increase in the index for commercial premises and increased residential rents.
The lease portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 30 June of SEK 12,556m (10,790). The average rental level for the whole property portfolio amounted to SEK 2,094/sq.m. (1,896) excluding project properties.
Rental income in a comparable portfolio increased by 5.4% (2.9) after adjustment for changes in exchange rates.
Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risk with regard to tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate as of 30 June was 96% (96). The total rental value of unlet areas at the end of the period amounted to SEK 556m (440).
Property costs for the period amounted to SEK –1,539m (–1,340), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –56m (–24).
Net operating income increased by 16% to SEK 4,299m (3,717), representing a surplus ratio of 74% (74). The surplus ratio was affected during the period by increased costs of electricity and heating.
Operating costs usually vary with the seasons. During a normal year, the first and fourth quarters have higher costs than the other quarters, while the third quarter usually has the lowest cost level.
Management and administrative costs for the period amounted to SEK –540m (–514), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –25m (–11).
Balder owns property managing and project developing associated companies, see note 14 in the Annual Report for 2022.
Profit from participations in associated companies/joint ventures during the period amounted to SEK –216m (1,980) and Balder's participation in the associated companies' profit from property management amounted to SEK 929m (903).
Profit before tax was impacted by SEK –1,074m (1,750) as a result of unrealised changes in value in respect of the properties and interest rate derivatives. The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –72m (–672).

Net financial items amounted to SEK –1,383m (–918), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –62m (–16).
Changes in value of interest rate derivatives and option component convertible amounted to SEK 104m (1,200). Unrealised changes in value do not affect cash flow. The average interest rate for net financial items as of 30 June was 2.5% (1.7).
The turmoil in the financial markets since the first quarter last year, when Russia invaded Ukraine, have resulted in a shift from the capital market to banking. This shift has changed the financing structure from 64% bond financing as of 31 March 2022 to 49% as of 30 June 2023.
As of 30 June, the available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments was SEK 20 billion (23), corresponding to 114% of Balder's future maturities of interest-bearing liabilities within 18 months and 65% within 24 months.
Balder conducted an individual internal valuation of the entire property portfolio as of 30 June, see also page 9. Unrealised changes in value for the period amounted to SEK –4,246m (5,587). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 27m (36). The average yield requirement as of 30 June amounted to 4.8% (4.4), which is 0.2 percentage points higher compared to the year-end. The change in value during the period is mainly attributable to the increased estimated yield requirement.
The profit from the sales of development properties is recognised when the buyer takes possession of the property. In addition to the cost, selling and marketing expenses are also included, which are recognised as expenses on an ongoing basis. These amounted to SEK –14m (–10) during the period.
Two projects were recognised as income during the period. The net profit from sales for the period amounted to SEK 222m (24) after the deduction of selling and marketing expenses, and includes the sale of the development projects Bovieran Helsinge ApS in Denmark and Brf Glasbruket i Majorna in Sweden.
The Group's total tax amounted to SEK 317m (–1,590), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK 19m (–35). The current tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –108m (–384). The current tax expense attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK –89m (–251).
The deferred tax expense for the period amounted to SEK 425m (–1,206).
Tax has been calculated using the current tax rate in each country. The Group's deferred tax liability has been calculated as the value of the net of fiscal deficits and the temporary difference between the carrying amounts and values for tax purposes primarily of properties and interest rate derivatives. The deferred tax liability amounted to SEK 17,571m (17,220).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,915m (1,967). Investing activities burdened cash flow by a net figure of SEK –4,583m (–6,758). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 910m net (7,723).
Total cash flow for the period was SEK –593m (2,473). The exchange rate difference in cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 91m (22).
In addition to unutilised credit facilities of SEK 12,827m (15,479), the Group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 7,289m (7,924) as of 30 June. Available liquidity including confirmed credit commitments thus amounted to SEK 20,116m (23,402).
Profit from property management for the second quarter 2023 amounted to SEK 1,655m (1,645). Profit from property management attributable to the parent company's shareholders for the second quarter 2023 increased by 3% and amounted to SEK 1,550m (1,501), corresponding to SEK 1.34 per share (1.34). Profit from property management included SEK 460m (475) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 2,943m (2,550) and property costs amounted to SEK –742m (–638), which meant that net operating income increased by 15% to SEK 2,201m (1,912), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates was SEK 65m (37). The surplus ratio amounted to 75% (75).
Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK –1,292m (3,625). Profit after tax attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK –867m (3,456), corresponding to SEK –0.75 per share (3.09). Profit was impacted by unrealised changes in the value of investment properties of SEK –2,644m (2,243), realised changes in the value of investment properties of SEK –1m (15), net profit from the sale of development properties of SEK –7m (25), changes in value in interest rate derivatives and option component convertible of SEK 279m (513) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK –276m (151). The Group's total tax amounted to SEK 163m (–494). The current tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –42m (–308). The deferred tax income for the period amounted to SEK 205m (–186). The deferred tax was affected by negative exchange rate differences that arose from the translation of the parent company's euro bonds during the quarter. In the Group, these are used for hedging foreign net investments and are transferred to "Other comprehensive income".
As of 30 June, the Group had 1,148 co-responsibles (1,139), of whom 482 were female (479). Balder is organised into seven regions. The head office with Group-wide functions is located in Gothenburg.
The Parent Company's operations consist primarily of performing Groupwide services, but an important part relates to sales of services, principally to associated companies. Net sales in the parent company amounted to SEK 268m (245) during the period.
Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 100m (9,308). Other net financial items amounted to SEK –440m (–1,356), of which exchange rate differences amounted to SEK –1,484m (–1,503), changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives and option component convertible amounted to SEK 155m (1,050).
Reported exchange rate differences relate primarily to the translation of the Group's euro bonds, which from a Group perspective are used for hedging foreign net investments.
On 30 June, Balder owned 1,869 investment properties (1,771) with a lettable area of 5,986,000 sq.m. (5,669,000) at a value of SEK 218,397m (203,374). Balder's total rental value excluding projects amounted to SEK 12,533m (10,747).
In addition to investment properties, Balder owns development properties with an acquisition cost of SEK 3,772m (3,152). The value of the total property portfolio amounted to SEK 222,169m (206,525).
Balder's commercial properties are located primarily in the central areas of major cities, and the residential properties are located in metropolitan regions and in places that are growing and developing positively in each country. Balder's ambition is to continue growing in selected markets.

Balder's investment properties are reported on the basis of internal valuations. Properties in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany and the UK are valued using the yield method.
In Finland, the acquisition cost method is used in addition to the yield method.
Properties under construction and project properties for own management are valued at market value reduced by estimated building expenditure and project risk.
Balder has increased the yield requirement in the valuations of the investment properties in the period by 0.2 percentage points compared with the year-end. The increased estimated yield requirement is explained by the uncertain market situation and rising market interest rates. As of 30 June, Balder's average yield requirement was 4.8% (4.4) excluding project properties for own management. The average yield requirement for residential properties amounted to 4.3% and for commercial properties 5.3%. In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder arranges for parts of the portfolio to be valued externally on an ongoing basis and obtains second opinions1) on internal valuations. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant.
The overall carrying amount of Balder's investment properties amounted to SEK 218,397m (203,374) on 30 June. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK –4,246m (5,587).
The change in value during the period is mainly attributable to the increased estimated yield requirement.
During the period, a total of SEK 3,935m (7,386) was invested in respect of investment properties, of which SEK 419m (3,279) related to acquisitions and SEK 3,516m (4,107) related to investments in existing properties and projects for own management. Investment properties as well as condominiums and land were divested during the period with a sales value of SEK 669m (2,654). Realised changes in value from the divestments amounted to SEK 27m (36).

Within the framework of property development, both new production and rebuilding projects of residentials and commercial spaces are carried out. Investments are made primarily in areas where the company already operates, with a focus on the metropolitan regions of Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsinki and Copenhagen. The building rights portfolio mainly includes building rights for the construction of both rental apartments and tenant-owner apartments, but also commercial properties.
Projects for own management that are under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 5.3 billion (11.8), of which SEK 3.6 billion (8.0) is invested and SEK 1.7 billion (3.8) remains to be invested. Most of the projects in progress relate to residential projects with condominiums that are rented out. The projects comprise about 2,300 apartments (4,750) and relate primarily to projects in Finland and Denmark.
A development property is a property that is owned for upgrading with a view to being divested. These properties are recognised at cost on an ongoing basis, and a profit/loss is recognised when each property is completed, sold and handed over to the buyer.
Development projects that are under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 4.9 billion (4.1), of which SEK 2.8 billion (1.9) has been spent and SEK 2.1 billion (2.2) is still to be invested. All of the projects relate to residential projects that will be sold to end customers.
No sales results are reported for development projects during the second quarter.
The cost of all projects divested during the period amounted to SEK –669m (–259) and the profit from sales amounted to SEK 236m (34), excluding sales and marketing expenses for the period of SEK –14m (–10) in respect of all development properties.

The majority of future projects in the above table have a development plan that has gain legal force or is in progress.
In order to limit the risk of lower rental income and consequently a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships with the company's existing customers.
Balder has a good diversification as regards the distribution between residential and commercial properties as well as the geographical distribution. The diversification strengthens the possibilities of maintaining a steady and satisfactory occupancy rate.
Balder's commercial leases have an average lease term of 6.4 years (6.2). Balder's ten biggest leases account for 3.5% (3.7) of total rental income, and their average lease term is 11.0 years (10.2).

Balder has assets in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany and the UK, which means that the Group is exposed to currency risks. Balder therefore has a diversified financing structure with bonds and bank financing in several different currencies. Balder values long-term relationships with its credit providers, which primarily comprise the major Nordic banks and capital market investors.
Balder's financing sources consist of bonds issued in euros in the European bond market under Balder's EMTN programme, followed by bank loans in various currencies, a domestic MTN programme, as well as a commercial paper programme in euros and Swedish kronor. In addition to these financing sources, Balder also has issued hybrid capital, which has an original maturity of 60 years and is considered as 50% equity by the credit rating agencies.
Balder may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts subject to such repurchases may be material. During 2023, Balder has repurchased bonds to a total of SEK 5.5 billion. In the second quarter, repurchases of SEK 2.9 billion
of bonds were carried out with maturity in the period 2024–2028. Two euro bonds amounting to EUR 578m were also repaid upon maturity, and there are no outstanding bond maturities during the current year.
During the second quarter, interest-bearing liabilities have increased by approximately SEK 5 billion due to the weakening of the Swedish krona and the fact that Balder has debt in foreign currency. This means that despite the fact that the loan volume in SEK is essentially identical, net debt is reduced in constant currency. The turmoil in the financial markets since the first quarter last year, when Russia invaded Ukraine, have resulted in a shift from the capital market to banking. This shift has changed the financing structure from 64% bond financing as of 31 March 2022 to 49% as of 30 June 2023.
As of the end of the quarter, the available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments was SEK 20 billion (23), corresponding to 114% of Balder's future maturities of interest-bearing liabilities within 18 months and 65% within 24 months. Balder's interest rate refixing period as of 30 June was 3.3 years, and the fixed credit term was 5.6 years. As of 30 June, 70% of loans were hedged with interest rate swaps and fixed-rate loans.
Balder has obligations to its financiers in the form of financial key ratios, so-called covenants, and all of them were fulfilled as of the end of the quarter.

As a long-term property owner, Balder strives to assume social, environmental and financial responsibility. This includes not only minimising the environmental impact of its operations, but also maximising the positive impact on society, both locally and globally.
Balder has signed the Global Compact, the UN's set of international principles aimed at companies in the area of human rights, labour law matters, the environment and anti-corruption.
Balder strives to contribute to achieving the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals and has selected six of the 17 goals that are considered most relevant and where the company has the greatest opportunity to have an influence. To link these more closely to the business operations, the associated targets have also been identified in those areas where the company has the greatest opportunity to contribute to the goals being achieved.

Balder has set climate goals in line with the Paris Agreement, and shall more then halve emissions in its own operations by 2030, with 2022 as the base year, as well as to measure and reduce emissions in the value chain (Scope 3). The company has also set a goal to achieve net zero emissions throughout the value chain (Scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2045. The goals have been submitted to the Science Based Targets Initiative for approval. A roadmap will be produced during 2023 to specify which measures are required for the business to achieve its climate goals.

No events of material significance for Fastighets AB Balder's position have occurred after the end of the reporting period.
Balder receives fees from associated companies and Erik Selin Fastigheter AB for property and company management services. These fees amounted to SEK 48m (42) during the period and are recognised in management and administrative costs. During the period, construction services were purchased from Tommy Byggare AB to the order of SEK 19m (74). All transactions have been priced on market terms.
Balder's operations, financial position and earnings may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties. These are described on pages 47–50 in the Annual Report 2022. Otherwise no significant changes have been noted.
Balder applies IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union in its consolidated accounts and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In addition, relevant provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Markets Act have also been applied. The Parent Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Securities Markets Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies follow those reported in the Annual Report 2022.
New and changed standards and policies that came into force as of 1 January 2023 or later are not considered to have any material impact on the Group's financial reports.
Convertible bonds issued in EUR are divided into two components, a liability component and an option component. The liability component is valued at accrued cost using the effective interest method. The option component is recognised as a liability and is valued on an ongoing basis at fair value via the income statement. Transaction costs are accrued over the term and included in the change in value in the income statement. According to IFRS, earnings per share after dilution must be calculated with the assumption that conversion will take place regardless of the current share price, i.e. the calculation is made with full dilution on day one.

The company presents a number of financial metrics in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS (so-called Alternative Performance Measures according to ESMA's guidelines). These performance measures provide valuable supplementary information to investors, the company's management and other stakeholders since they facilitate effective evaluation and analysis of the company's financial position and performance. These alternative performance measures are not always comparable with meas-
Shareholders' equity attributable to parent company's shareholders in relation to the number of outstanding shares at the end of the period.
Profit from property management attributable to parent company's shareholders in relation to the average number of shares.
The number of outstanding shares at the start of the period, adjusted by the number of shares issued during the period weighted by the number of days that the shares have been outstanding in relation to the total number of days during the period.
Equity attributable to parent company's shareholders per share with reversal of interest rate derivatives and deferred tax according to balance sheet.
Profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders in relation to the average number of shares.

ures used by other companies and shall therefore be considered as a complement to measures defined according to IFRS. Fastighets AB Balder will apply these alternative performance measures consistently over time. Unless otherwise specified, the key ratios are alternative performance measures according to ESMA's guidelines. A description follows below of how Fastighets AB Balder's key ratios are defined and calculated.
