1) Attributable to parent company's shareholders.
Dear shareholders,
We are living in turbulent times, with both the global economy and our domestic economy being put to the test. In this challenging environment, Balder has continued to see good earnings and stable profits from property management from our associated companies. The economic occupancy rate has maintained a high, stable level, and in general we are not yet seeing any clear indications of any decline in the finances in our operational activities.
We continue to adopt a conservative approach when it comes to financing. We have made a placement of convertible bonds of just over SEK 5 billion, at an interest rate of 3.5%. Thanks to our strong liquidity situation, good profits have enabled us to buy back bonds with maturity in particular in the near term, but also with longer maturities.
In doing so, we retain a long maturity structure for our liabilities, which provides security and reduces the impact on cash flow from fluctuations in interest rates and financing costs.
To adapt to the challenges in the world at large, we have paused a number of planned construction launches and are focusing instead on property management operations. But there are still several exciting projects already under way, and we are completing these on schedule and with good results.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our engaged coresponsibles for their amazing efforts in day-to-day operations!
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.

1) Attributable to parent company's shareholders. 2) Refers primarily to deferred tax, which has no effect on cash flow.
In the current earning capacity as of 31 March 2023, the following exchange rates were used to translate foreign subsidiaries' income statement items.
EUR: 11.28 DKK: 1.51 NOK: 1.00 GBP: 12.81
Profit from property management for the period amounted to SEK 1,646m (1,521), of which the effect of exchange rate fluctuations amounted to SEK 16m (25). Profit from property management attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK 1,549m (1,382), corresponding to an increase of 9% per share to SEK 1.34 (1.23). Profit from property management includes SEK 469m (428) in respect of associated companies.
Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK –128m (5,875). Net profit after tax attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK –51m (5,261), corresponding to SEK –0.04 per share (4.70). Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in the value of investment properties of SEK –1,602m (3,344), realised changes in the value of investment properties of SEK 28m (20), net profit from the sale of development properties of SEK 229m (–1), changes in value in interest rate derivatives and option component convertible of SEK –175m (687) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 60m (1,829).
Rental income increased by 15% to SEK 2,895m (2,507), of which the effect of exchange rate fluctuations amounted to SEK 77m (53). 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 leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 31 March of SEK 12,141m (10,565). The average rental level for the entire property portfolio amounted to SEK 2,058/sq.m. (1,893) excluding project properties.
The rental income in a comparable portfolio increased by 5.5% (2.1) after adjustment for exchange rate fluctuations.
Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risk with regard to tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate as of 31 March was 96% (96). The total rental value of unlet areas at the end of the period amounted to SEK 491m (449).
Property costs for the period amounted to SEK –797m (–702), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –26m (–14).
Net operating income increased by 16% to SEK 2,099m (1,805), representing a surplus ratio of 72% (72). 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 –265m (–252), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –10m (–6).
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 60m (1,829) and Balder's participation in the associated companies' profit from property management amounted to SEK 469m (428).
Profit before tax was impacted by SEK –260m (1,918) 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 –149m (–518).
Net financial items amounted to SEK –651m (–428), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –24m (–8). Changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives and option component convertible amounted to SEK –175m (687). Unrealised changes in value do not affect cash flow. The average interest rate for net financial items on 31 of March was 2.4% (1.6).
As part of its work to adapt liquidity planning to prevailing market conditions, Balder has continued to pre-finance future maturities. During the first quarter, Balder carried out a placement of convertible bonds of EUR 480m, thereby further diversifying the financing structure. As of 31 of March, the available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments was SEK 24,608m (15,983), corresponding to 111% of Balder's future maturities of interest-bearing liabilities within 18 months and 74% within 24 months.
Balder conducted an individual internal valuation of the entire property portfolio as of 31 March, see also page 9. Unrealised changes in value for the period amounted to SEK –1,602m (3,344). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 28m (20). The average yield requirement as of 31 March amounted to 4.7% (4.4), which is 0.1 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 –7m (–5) during the period.
Two projects were recognised as income during the period. The net profit from sales for the period amounted to SEK 229m (–1) 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 155m (–1,097), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK 2m (–16). The current tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –66m (–77). The current tax expense attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK –54m (–60).
The deferred tax income for the period amounted to SEK 220m (–1,020).
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 17,691m (16,802).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,004m (1,006). Investing activities burdened cash flow by a net figure of SEK –2,535m (–3,353). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 5,323m net (4,200).
Total cash flow for the period was SEK 2,580m (1,368). The exchange rate difference in cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 14m (7).
Apart from unutilised credit facilities of SEK 14,498m (9,618), the Group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 10,110m (6,365) as of 31 March. Available liquidity including confirmed credit commitments thus amounted to SEK 24,608m (15,983).
As of 31 March, the Group had 1,170 co-responsibles (1,091), of whom 489 were female (457). 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 134m (115) during the period.
Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK –217m (477). Other net financial items amounted to SEK 14m (4), of which exchange rate difference amounted to SEK –336m (–16), changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –328m (600).
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 31 March, Balder owned 1,857 investment properties (1,726) with a lettable area of 5,889,000 sq.m. (5,568,000) at a carrying amount of SEK 214,850m (196,113). Balder's total rental value excluding projects amounted to SEK 12,119m (10,539).
In addition to investment properties, Balder owns development properties with an acquisition cost of SEK 3,145m (3,075). The value of the total property portfolio amounted to SEK 217,995m (199,188).
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.

CARRYING AMOUNT DISTRIBUTED BY REGION, TOTAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO, %
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. Some properties in the East region are valued using the sales comparison 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 first quarter with 0.1 percentage points compared to year-end. The increased estimated yield requirement is explained by the uncertain market situation and rising market interest rates. Balder's average yield requirement as of 31 March amounted to 4.7% (4.4) excluding project properties for own management. The average yield requirement for residential properties amounted to 4.2% and for commercial properties 5.2%.
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 Balder's internal and external valuations have been insignificant.
The overall carrying amount of Balder's investment properties amounted to SEK 214,850m (196,113) on 31 March. The unrealised change in value in the period amounted to SEK –1,602m (3,344).
The change in value during the period is mainly attributable to the increased estimated yield requirement.
During the period, a total of SEK 1,957m (2,409) was invested in respect of investment properties, of which SEK 13m (829) related to acquisitions and SEK 1,944m (1,580) related to investments in existing properties and projects for own management. Investment properties as well as condominiums and land were divested during the perioden with a sales value of SEK 46m (226). Realised changes in value from the divestments amounted to SEK 28m (20).

1) Statement from an external valuation firm in respect of the suitability of the valuation methods, the information sources used and the quality and credibility of the valuation. 2) Number of investment properties.
Within the framework of property development, both new production and conversion 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.
The increased costs to which inflation has contributed have resulted in Balder significantly cutting back on its investments, with project launches being put on hold until they are profitable again. Those projects that are in the construction phase are being carried out mostly at fixed contract prices.
Projects for own management under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 10.3 billion (11.9), of which SEK 7.7 billion (7.6) is invested and SEK 2.6 billion (4.3) remains to be invested. Most of the projects in progress relate to residential projects with condominiums that are rented out. The projects comprise about 3,950 apartments (4,900) and relate primarily to about 1,000 apartments in Helsinki, about 870 apartments in Copenhagen and about 400 apartments in Gothenburg.
A development property is a property that is owned for upgrading with an intention to divest. 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 under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 2.7 billion (4.1), of which SEK 1.8 billion (1.9) has been spent and SEK 0.9 billion (2.2) remains to be invested. All of the projects relate to residential projects that will be sold to end customers. The projects involve 560 apartments (1,000) and relate primarily to about 280 tenant-owner apartments in Gothenburg and about 230 tenant-owner apartments in Stockholm.
In the first quarter, sales results are reported from two (1) development projects, Brf Glasbruket i Majorna in Sweden and Bovieran Helsinge ApS in Denmark. The cost of these projects amounted to SEK –658m (–51) and the profit from sales amounted to SEK 236m (4), excluding marketing and sales costs for the quarter of SEK –7m (–5) relating to 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 6.3 years (6.2). Balder's ten largest leases account for 3.6 % (3.8) of total rental income, and their average lease term amounts to 11.3 years (10.5).

Rental income
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. The single largest financing source is 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. This was the case during the first quarter, as Balder has repurchased SEK 2.6 billion of bonds with maturity in the period 2024–2031. Since the end of the period, repurchases of approximately SEK 2.1 billion have been carried out of SEK bonds with maturity in the period 2024–2025. During the quarter, hybrid with a first call date in March 2023 amounting to EUR 320m was repaid. Balder carried out a placement of convertible bonds of EUR 480m, thereby further diversifying the financing structure and continuing the proactive management of the balance sheet in relation to upcoming debt maturity.
As of the end of the quarter, the available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments was SEK 24,608m (15,983), corresponding to 111% of Balder's future maturities of interest-bearing liabilities within 18 months and 74% within 24 months. Bond maturities within one year amounts to SEK 7.8 billion. Balder's interest rate refixing period was 3.3 years at the end of the quarter, and the fixed credit term was 5.6 years. As of 31 March, 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.

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 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. 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 24m (21) during the period and are reported in management and administrative costs. During the year, construction services were purchased from Tommy Byggare AB to the order of SEK 21m (40). 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. Other risks identified are described in the Annual Report 2022, on page 47–50. 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 Annual Accounts Act, the 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.
The convertible bond issued in euro is 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, that is, the calculation is made with full dilution on day one.
As of first quarter 2023, the interim report contains a separate section describing the derivation of the company's key ratios. The reconciliation tables are on page 27–30 in this report. The intention is that this addition will assist the reader and make the company's calculations more transparent.
This interim report has not been subject to an examination by the company's auditors.
