Well positioned for the next economic phase

CEO's comments Wihlborgs' performance in the second quarter of 2023 is fairly easy to summarise: Our core business continues to perform well. Year-on-year, rental income increased 20 percent for the quarter, driven by indexation and acquisitions, but also by our projects and rising rent levels. When the lease contracted's rental income is measured in like-for-like portfolios, it is up 12.1 percent on one year ago. Further reinforcement is provided to this figure by the increase of 1.5 percentage points in the occupancy rate during this period. The outlook for revenue moving forward is also strengthened by the fact that for the 33rd consecutive quarter our net lettings are positive at SEK 14 million. This consistent performance, quarter after quarter, stems from intense and agile activity within our organisation. As in the first quarter of this year, lettings activity has been high, even if some processes can take a long time. As with previous performances, it is the sum of the many transactions that generates our strength and stability over time.

The operating surplus increased 25 percent in the second quarter resulting in a surplus ratio of 74.9 percent, up three percentage points on last year. Costs for electricity, heating and cooling were higher year-on-year, but price increases have not followed the erratic path we experienced in 2022. The operating surplus of SEK 722 million for the quarter is the highest ever in a single quarter.

Strong even with new interest rate conditions

Interest expenses continued to rise in the quarter, mainly due to rising market interest rates but also due to interest-rate derivatives with favourable rates maturing in the quarter and new interest-rate derivatives being entered that are significantly more expensive. However, our intrinsic strength is shown by the fact that our income from property management for the second quarter is up on last year, despite interest expenses more than trebling. This shows the importance of focusing

on our tenants, existing and new, and on our operational efficiency. Our rolling 12-month interest coverage ratio is a multiple of 3.7.

Changes in value in the quarter amounted to a decrease of SEK 59 million. External valuations were conducted for a number of the properties in the quarter in conjunction with financing, and as usual, the basic assumptions in the valuation model were checked with external valuers. Positive net lettings, rising rent levels and project development have been balanced by some risks of terminations. While only minor changes in yield requirements have occurred in the quarter, over 12 months these have risen between 0.4 and 1 percentage points depending on the type of property. The property transaction market volume was low during the spring and the completed transactions are difficult to assess as the sellers may have been acting for reasons outside the norm.

"Wihlborgs' business model works even in times such as these and, for many years, we have been able to demonstrate a healthy cash flow from our portfolio."

Maintain momentum

The balance sheet was once again stable for the quarter. Net debt also decreased in relation to operating profit in this quarter and now amounts to a multiple of 10.6. Available liquid assets in the form of unutilised credit facilities plus liquid assets amounted to slightly more than SEK 2.6 billion. Our dependence on the bond market remains low, since only 8 percent of our borrowings are raised in it.

Our profitable core business and access to liquidity enables us to continue investing for the future. It is today's project investments that will create growth in the core business in future years. Naturally, higher financing expenses and an uncertain economy mean we are being even more careful about what we invest in and to what cost, but our conviction is that we best develop the company by maintaining a longterm business perspective without excessive accelerating or braking. To express myself in the terms of my favourite

motorsport, enduro: everyone can accelerate hard down the straights but you have to keep the power on through the turn to be well-positioned for the next straight. Our aim is to maintain momentum through the current period so that we are even stronger when we enter the next phase of the economic cycle.

A model that endures over time

Maintaining momentum is equally applicable to our sustainability efforts. Energy consumption per square metre has declined about three percent, which was in line with the reduction in the first quarter. In Malmö, the total district heating output decreased six percent in the first half of the year. This is due in part to continued energy-efficiency enhancements, such as the installation of Wihlborgs' innovative reversible heat pump in more properties. At the Sankt Jörgen 21 property in Malmö, this pump helped lower energy consumption almost 40 percent. In the Österport 7, Terminalen 5, Muren 5 and Nya Vattentornet 3 properties, we have realised savings of up to 35 percent by using different energy optimisation methods.

As a regional builder, Wihlborgs is involved and contributes to a sustainable development of the Öresund region. On page 14 we give a couple examples of our work with social engagement.

While the outlook for Sweden's economy is uncertain, the outlook is slightly better in Denmark. No one knows what interest rates will be in the future, but we need to acclimatise to significantly higher levels than we have experienced in recent years. Wihlborgs' business model works even in times such as these and, for many years, we have been able to demonstrate a healthy cash flow from our portfolio. That we were also able to do so for the last quarter reinforces my view that we should continue on this path. At the same time, we strive on a daily basis to improve, to create closer ties to our tenants, and to work smarter and more cost-effectively. By making small steps, we are constantly evolving and adapting to a changing world. This is how Wihlborgs builds for the future.

Ulrika Hallengren, CEO

Market comments

The Swedish economy is entering an economic downturn, which has mainly impacted households and companies linked to housing construction. Demand for labour remains strong according to the Swedish National Institute of Economic Research (NIER) and there are no signs of the labour market weakening. In light of the above, the downturn in the economy is expected to be relatively short-lived and have only a limited impact on the labour market. Sweden's GDP is expected to shrink 0.2 percent in 2023 before recovering in 2024 to post growth of 1.4 percent. Several of Sweden's most important trading partners are expected to post relatively weak performances both this year and next, which will impact Sweden's export industry. The Silf/Swedbank Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for for industry in June, the level of 44.8 was slightly stronger than in May, but still well below the historical average. For the services sector, the PMI weakened in June to 46.1, which was due to the weak housing sector and the shrinking purchasing power of households.

The Riksbank's June meeting noted that while inflation was still falling, it remained too high and therefore raised the policy rate to 3.75 percent. Inflation has declined sharply in Denmark and year-on-year amounted to 2.9 percent in May. The rapid drop in inflation was largely due to falling energy prices while those for goods/services continued to rise. In its latest report, the independent Danish Economic Councils predicts GDP growth in Denmark of 1 percent, both in 2023 and in 2024, and inflation to reach 4.3 percent in 2023 before falling to 2.9 percent in 2024. The outlook has improved since last autumn, with only 50,000 people expected to become unemployed compared with 100,000 six months ago.

In the "Skånsk konjunktur" ("Business in Skåne") report, Sparbanken Skåne and Øresundsinstituttet describe development as split. While manufacturing continues to perform well, housing construction is slowing considerably. Moreover, Skåne is entering a period of reduced infrastructure investment. Unemployment decreased from 8.5 percent in February to 8.2 percent in April this year. Unemployment among young people also continued to decline over the year and was 9.3 percent in April, which is its lowest since summer 2008. Job growth is becoming increasingly concentrated to Malmö and southwestern Skåne, where 9 out of 10 new jobs have been created.

The rental and property market

In SEPREF's (the Swedish Property Research Forum) consensus forecast for the second quarter of 2023, the prime rent in Malmö remains unchanged at SEK 3,000/m². The yield requirement for prime locations has stabilised at 4.5 percent, although most respondents expect rising yield requirements in the coming year.

According to Colliers, turnover in the Swedish real estate market amounted to SEK 33 billion for the first five months of 2023, down sharply compared with SEK 142 billion last year. A slight upturn in volume was discernible in May, when, year-on-year, it only fell from SEK 16 billion to SEK 10 billion. In Denmark, the volume for the first five months of 2023 declined from DKK 38 billion to DKK 13 billion.

The highest levels of activity in Skåne were noted in Lund, where Axis acquired two large office properties of 51,000 m² at Ideon from Castellum. Moreover, Hotell Planetstaden (12,800 m²) was sold to Reato Group for SEK 250 million, in a transaction that also includes the hotel operator. In Denmark, Corem sold a warehouse property in Greve to the Swiss Life fund for DKK 160 million.

Income, expenses and profits January–June 2023

Comparative figures for income statement items relate to values for the corresponding period 2022 and balance sheet items as of 2022-12-31.

Rental income

Rental income amounted to SEK 1,935 million (1,599) corresponding to an increase by 21 procent. Of the rental income, service income accounted for SEK 227 million (169), whose increase is mainly due to increased addtional charges to tenants of SEK 48 million as a result of increased energy costs. During the second quarter, additional billing has been reduced by SEK 15 million in consideration of the regulation of expected electricity support towards the tenants. Service revenue from the Danish canteen operations has decreased as this is run by an external party from 1 March. A compilation of the change in rental income compared to the previous year appears in the table below.

Property expenses

Total property costs amounted to SEK 546 million (464). Of the increase of SEK 82 million, increased operating costs account for approximately half, which in turn is mainly due to aquired properties of SEK 21 million and higher electricity costs of SEK 11 million.

During the second quarter, expected electricity subsidies of SEK 20 million have reduced electricity costs. Of the increased property tax of SEK 20 million, SEK 8 million refers to revaluations in connection with the general revaluation of the previous year, which was obtained in July 2022, and SEK 7 million refers to acquisitions. Rental losses during the period amounted to SEK 2 million, last year these were positive with SEK 1 million.

The historical summary at the bottom of page 21 illustrates how costs vary over the different quarters of the year.

At the end of the period, the average interest rate, including the cost of credit agreements, was 3.81 percent, compared with 2.59 percent at year-end.

Well-being and health were high on the agenda when designing Wihlborgs' new head office in Malmö. Since May, the visiting address has moved to Dockplatsen 16 (Skrovet 3), overlooking the bustling Dockan neighbourhood. The office provides space for socializing, creativity and events as well as for focused work. The nicknames of people who worked at the old Kockums shipyard over the years have been used to name the 28 variously sized meeting and conference rooms. Wihlborgs has chosen to have individual workplaces in the new premises to be able to maintain a sense of belonging and to facilitate finding colleague in the open office landscape.

Changes in values of properties

By year-end the valuation of all Wihlborgs' properties is carried out by external valuers. By the valuation as of 30 June 2023 around 20 properties have been valued externally and others internally. The valuation has meant that the property value har decreased by SEK 87 million (+372). The assumptions regarding future indexation and yield requirements were changed gradually during 2022 but have been largely unchanged during the first half year 2023. A positive net letting and completion of projects have affected valuations positively, while maintenance investments and certain termination risks have had a negative impact.

Fair value has been determined using a combination of a yield-based method and a location-price method, in which transactions completed in the sub-markets concerned are analysed in order to calibrate the parameters for the yieldbased method. The value is considered to correspond to the yield value that is calculated from normally five-year cash flow analyses. The value of newbuild projects in progress is determined as the value as if the project were complete, less deduction of estimated remaining cost. Undeveloped land and other upgrade projects are valued according to the location-price method. The method for valuation is the same as previously. There is a comprehensive description of the method for valuation of properties on pages 82-83 and 106-107 in the Company's 2022 Annual Report. As of 30 June 2023 the carrying amount for the properties is SEK 56 629 million (55 179). 82 % Ofce/Retail 24 % Helsingborg 16 % Lund 82 % Ofce/Retail 24 % Helsingborg 16 % Lund

Sustainable business

Wihlborgs' work with societal commitment

Wihlborgs has a strong commitment to the Öresund region – through the development of the business community, the daily lives of our tenants, the growth of the cities and the future of the entire region. A region that attracts investment, capital, infrastructure development and labour is a region that can also continue to develop positively. When the city and the region grow, so does the need for new premises.

Wihlborgs' strong local presence in its home market enables close collaboration with cities, companies, suppliers, universities, and the public and non-profit sectors. As a "region-builder," Wihlborgs contributes to the region's sustainable development, inspires others to make sustainable choices and enables customers to meet and create new business opportunities and innovation.

The shared theme of the endeavours Wihlborgs chooses to support is the development of people and companies – we provide the right prerequisites for young people to find the courage to stand on their own feet, and to move on to reach their full potential and contribute to growth, innovation and

development. This includes everything from homework help to major innovation platforms such as Ideon Science Park in Lund and Medeon Science Park in Malmö.

One important aspect of Wihlborgs' growth journey is to choose the right suppliers and contractors, so that all the work that is undertaken is in line with Wihlborgs' ambitions with respect to environmental, climate and social issues, as well as the work environment. To support the development of the local business community and help create jobs, purchasing from suppliers established in this region is prioritised.

By providing young people and companies in the Öresund region with the opportunity to grow, we also create the preconditions for our own growth.

Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs

Social sustainability also includes making premises available to non-profit organisations, or, as in the case of an office building in Ballerup outside Copenhagen, to the municipality of Ballerup to provide housing to Ukrainian refugees. Many Wihlborgs employees take active roles in building the region by sharing knowledge, advice and commitment through forums such as working groups, boards, mentoring programs, etc.

Sustainability reporting at Wihlborgs

Wihlborgs compiles an annual sustainability report prepared according to the Annual Accounts Act, GRI Standards, EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations (sBPR) and TCFD guidelines for reporting climate-related risks. We follow up on prioritised sustainability topics and goals in each interim report. We also provide information about current activities and events during the quarter that have a bearing on our sustainability agenda. More information about our sustainability agenda is available on Wihlborgs' website. Read more at www.wihlborgs.se/en/about-us/sustainability/

Examples of societal commitments

Techship is an entrepreneurial programme aimed at motivating and inspiring young people to start their own business or engage in further studies. Wihlborgs launched the initiative in partnership with Helsingborgshem and the tech hub HETCH, which operates in Wihlborgs' Prisma property (Ursula 1) in Helsingborg. Of the 20 young persons who were admitted to the programme in 2022, nine have had the opportunity to pursue their business idea in an incubator, five have secured employment and two have acquired an internship.

Ideon Navigator Scaleup at Ideon in Lund, where Wihlborgs is the largest property owner, is an accelerator program for growth. Funding for the program is mainly provided by Wihlborgs and Region Skåne, and to a lesser extent by the companies themselves. The program, aimed at selected smaller companies with substantial growth potential, provides access to experienced external growth leaders in a controlled process over a period of about two years. Companies participating in the program have experienced good results with subsequent growth of between 25 and 100 percent.

Venture Cup is a competition for the entrepreneurs of tomorrow and connects business experts with future entrepreneurs and offers inspiration, education, guidance and networking. Since it was started back in 1998, more than 17,000 business ideas have competed, of which some 30 percent have become businesses. Wihlborgs is a partner of Venture Cup Region South.

Helsingborg C has been undergoing renovation by Wihlborgs over the past couple of years and its former shabby state has been transformed into a welcoming and safe environment where travellers and visitors like to stay. The renovation has boosted the entire neighbourhood as well as the attractiveness of Helsingborg. Helsingborg C was recertified in 2022 in accordance with Purple Flag, a method for creating an equal-opportunity, safe and attractive city with a variety of offerings and activities for everyone, including in the evenings.

Results of the quarter

The targets concerning energy consumption, climate impact, environmental certification and supplier evaluations are followed up each quarter.

Energy and climate

Energy consumption per square metre has declined about 3 percent, which was in line with the reduction in the first quarter. In Malmö, the total district heating output decreased six percent in the first half of the year. This is due in part to continued energy-efficiency enhancements, such as the installation of Wihlborgs' innovative reversible heat pump in more properties. At the Sankt Jörgen 21 property in Malmö, this pump helped lower energy consumption almost 40 percent. In the Österport 7, Terminalen 5, Muren 5 and Nya Vattentornet 3 properties, we have realised savings of up to 35 percent by using different energy optimisation methods. In the first quarter, carbon emissions per square metre increased slightly, primarily due to a higher proportion of fossil fuels in Danish district heating plants.

Environmental certifications

Wihlborgs has remained very active in certifying office properties in Sweden, with the aim of certifying 90 percent by 2025. Four existing properties have been approved in accordance with Miljöbyggnad In-Use and one under Miljöbyggnad, all with Silver. At the quarter's end, 23 certifications of existing properties and about ten certifications of ongoing new production were in progress.

Supplyer evaluations

The percentage of strategic suppliers that could be approved without a remark in Wihlborgs' updated process for sustainability evaluation increased from 72 percent in the first quarter to 79 percent in the second quarter. By clarifying Wihlborgs' expectations and through continued dialogue with suppliers, the ambition is to gradually increase this percentage.

Wihlborgs tops list of gender-equal companies

Each year, the non-profit AllBright foundation, which promotes gender equality and meritocracy in business, conducts a review to highlight gender equality in Sweden's listed companies. For several years, Wihlborgs has figured at the top of the green list (that is, its list of the most gender-equal listed companies) and figures again in 2023. Wihlborgs has an equal gender distribution among managers, in Group Management and on its Board.

It is encouraging to again note an increase in the number of women in the management of listed companies after the lull last year. We are proud of our achievements to date, but much work remains to be done – not least in terms of recruiting more people with a foreign background to management and the Board."

Development in share price

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

Wihlborgs' future development and ability to reach its operational goals are influenced by numerous risks and uncertainties. By systematically reviewing, analysing and managing these risks and uncertainties, it is possible to limit them and concurrently create the prerequisites for continued growth.

The risks assessed as having a significant influence on the Group's earnings trend and cash flow are the variations in rental income, property costs and interest-rates. The properties are measured at fair value with changes in value in the income statement resulting in positive and negative impacts on earnings during the year. Property valuation also impacts Wihlborgs' financial position and key metrics. The extent of changes in value is partly determined by Wihlborgs' own capacity, through alteration and upgrading of properties, as well as by leases and client structures, to increase the properties' market value, and partly by external factors that affect supply and demand in the property markets where the company is active. Property valuation should take in to account an interval of uncertainty, which in a functioning market, typically consists of +/-5–10% to reflect the inherent uncertainty of assumptions and estimates.

In addition to the above, risks also include financing risks. Wihlborgs is dependent on external loans to meet its undertakings and complete transactions. Risks are managed using Wihlborgs' financial policy, which stipulates objectives, guidelines and risk limits for Wihlborgs' financial activities.

In pages 84–89 and 101–102 in the Company's 2022 Annual Report there is a comprehensive description of the risks facing the Group, how these are handled and a grading with regard to the assessed impact on the business and the probability that the risk will occur

More connections between Sweden and Denmark would release capacity on the Öresund Bridge, increase integration between the countries and strengthen the region's labour market. On 8 May, Wihlborgs organised a seminar, in partnership with the City of Malmö, to address the local, regional and national possibilities with an Öresund metro. The issue is highly topical as the City of Copenhagen supports a partial study for connection of the Danish side to the planned M5 metro line at the same time as the City of Malmö has started a municipal central plan for the metro.

Key figures

Basis for key ratios

The basis for key financial ratios that Wihlborgs present in the Interim report January-June 2023 on page 22, are shown below.

The following financial targets have been established by the Board:

  • A return on equity that exceeds the risk-free interest rate* by not less than six percentage points, which for the beginning of 2022 corresponds to 8.51 percent
  • The loan-to-value ratio is not to exceed 60 percent
  • An equity/assets ratio of no less than 30 percent
  • An interest coverage ratio of no less than 2.0

*) Risk-free interest rate is defined as the rate on a 5-year Swedish government bond.

Unless otherwise stated, amounts are in SEK million. 2023-06-30 2022-06-30 2022-12-31

Definitions

Some of the financial metrics that Wihlborgs presents in the interim report are not defined in accordance with IFRS. Wihlborgs is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable complementary information to investors and the company's management, since they enable evaluation of the company's performance.

As all companies do not apply the same approach to calculating these financial metrics, they are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies. Accordingly, these metrics should not be viewed as replacements for metrics defined under IFRS. On this page, definitions of metrics are presented that, with a few exceptions, are not defined in accordance with IFRS.

Key financial ratios

The key ratios are based on the statements of income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flow. Some of the historic data is compiled from the historical summary on page 21 in Wihlborgs' Interim Report.

Return on equity

Profit for the period as a percentage of average equity, excluding non-controlling interests. Average equity refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio comprises a measure of the profitability in relation to shareholders' equity.

Return on capital employed (ROCE)

Earnings before interest expense, derivatives and taxes (EBIT) as a percentage of average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions. Average capital employed refers to the average of the opening and closing balances for each period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The metric shows the return on the capital provided by shareholders and lenders without regard to interest.

Equity/assets ratio

Equity as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period. The ratio provides a measure of the financial strength of the company.

Interest coverage ratio

Income from property management, plus interest expense, divided by interest expense. The ratio measures the degree to which earnings can decline without jeopardising interest payments or, alternatively, how much interest expense can increase before income from property management becomes negative.

Loan-to-value ratio, properties

Borrowings as a percentage of the properties' carrying amounts. The ratio shows the degree of borrowing on the property portfolio.

Surplus ratio

The operating surplus, shown as a percentage of rental income. The ratio illustrates the proportion of rental income that remains after deducting property management costs.

Debt/equity ratio

Interest-bearing liabilitites relative to equity. Interest-bearing liabilities include borrowings, lease liabilities and any other interest-bearing liabilities.The ratio illustrates the relationship between borrowings and equity and, thereby, the gearing and financial strength.

Investment yield

The operating surplus shown as a percentage of the properties' average carrying amount. The average carrying amount refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the yield is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio illustrates the yield on the property portfolio without taking account of its financing costs.

Net Debt / EBITDA

Borrowings minus liquid assets in the financial statements, measured at five measurement occasions (quarterly) in the last twelve months, divided by operating surplus minus central administration, rolling twelve months. The key figure shows the company's earning capacity relative to borrowings, net.

Share-related key ratios

Earnings per share for the period Earnings for the period divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Earnings per share are the same before and after dilution. Definition according to IFRS.

Earnings per share before tax

Earnings per share before tax divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

EPRA EPS

Income from property management less the estimated tax payable on taxable income from property management divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Taxable income from property management is defined as income from property management less fiscal depreciation/amortisation and direct deductions. The effect of loss carryforwards is not taken into consideration.

Cash flows from operating activities per share Cash flows from operating activities divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

EPRA NDV - Net disposal value, per share The closing balances for equity divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

EPRA NRV - Net reinstatement value, per share The closing balances for equity following the reversal of interest-rate derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet, divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

Dividend yield per share

Proposed dividend as a percentage of the year-end share price.

Total yield per share

Share price performance plus actual dividend relative to the share price at the start of the year.

P/E ratio I, multiple

Market price per share divided by earnings per share. In interim reports, the ratio is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

P/E ratio II, multiple

Market price per share divided by EPRA RPS per share. In interim reports, the ratio is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

Average fixed interest period

Time remaining until the interest on all interest bearing debts in average has been adjusted.

Average loan maturity

Time remaining until an average of all interest bearing debts has been refinanced.

Property-related key figures*

These key figures are based on the property table on page 10. The table shows the estimated rental value, rental income and property expenses on an annualised basis with an unchanged property portfolio, based on the contract stock on the first day after the end of the period.

Rental value Rental income plus estimated market-level rents for unlet space.

Estimated investment yield Operating surplus as a percentage of the carrying amount for the properties at the end of the period.

Rental income per m2 Rental income on an annualised basis divided by lettable area.

Operating surplus per m2 Operating surplus divided by lettable area.

Economic occupancy rate Rental income as a percentage of rental value.

Estimated surplus ratio Operating surplus as a percentage of rental income.

Net Lettings New lettings during the period less terminations to vacate.

Like-for-like Excludes properties that both current and comparative period are classified as projects/land, aquired or sold.
