NET LETTINGS

Target: SEK 80m per year

SURPLUS RATIO,

Target: 75%

The first quarter continued to be characterised by a volatile operating environment. Inflation remains high, although there has been some recent improvement, interest rate hikes have continued and the economic outlook is uncertain. However, our operations are running smoothly and I am pleased with our financial stability and strength.

Rental income during the first quarter amounted to SEK 829m and on a like-forlike basis, income increased by 8 per cent. Net operating income also grew, from SEK 554m to SEK 598m. Net lettings were slightly negative, at SEK –12m. We completed some significant new lettings, especially in Haga Norra, but unfortunately this did not compensate for the lease terminations during the period. However, the occupancy rate improved and forthcoming occupancies and vacating of premises over the next few quarters will contribute to increased rental income.

The start of the year has been marked by concerns about the ability of property companies to source financing. Capital is available in the bond market, but at excessively high prices. In February, we issued an unsecured bond of SEK 250m at a level that we deemed satisfactory: a twoyear bond at a margin of 200 basis points. It was a way of indicating to bond investors that we want to be active in the capital market, even though currently we regard bank financing as the most attractive financing option. We hope the capital market will at some point offer more attractive conditions.

It bears repeating that we have a strong balance sheet, good banking relationships and good refinancing opportunities. 61 per cent of our borrowing is at low fixed rates, mainly using interest rate swaps. Just under half of our current borrowing has a fixed interest period of more than three years. This means that a 1 per cent rise in interest rates, based on current volumes and margins, would increase our interest costs by around SEK 120m over the next 12 months.

The transaction market was cautious at the beginning of the year, with activity clearly lower than in recent years. However, transactions in our areas have remained at satisfactory levels. We opted to have 47 per cent of the portfolio independently valued during the quarter, while the remaining properties were internally valued. Higher interest rates, among other factors, meant that the average yield requirement increased by 0.12 percentage points to 4.11 per cent in the portfolio, which led to unrealised changes in value amounting to SEK –2,110m. The total market value at the end of the period was SEK 85.0bn. In the valuations, higher yield requirements were partly offset by increased rent levels due to higher inflation assumptions. It can be noted that we now have approximately the same yield requirements in the portfolio as we did halfway through 2019.

The rental market in Stockholm exhibited strong growth throughout the 2010s. Both vacancies and rents remained at healthy levels well into the 2020s, perhaps somewhat unexpectedly during the pandemic. Low activity and considerable uncertainty during and after the pandemic meant that many decisions on premises were postponed. Several surveys now indicate that tenant turnover is once again

INVESTMENT VOLUME

Target: SEK 2.5bn per year over a business cycle

increasing, and that we are seeing increasing vacancies in some areas. This is of course influenced by the economic climate, but an underlying factor is also changes in the need for premises due to new ways of working. A recent survey by CityMark shows that vacancies are increasing the most in Stockholm inner city, excluding CBD, and in Söderort. The local market in Stockholm inner city is now showing the highest turnover in 10 years. There are also major differences in vacancies between A and B locations in less central areas. Tenants are looking for better products in better locations, and some are reducing their leased area.

Our organisation works in partnership with our tenants to find smart solutions to meet long-term space needs, both in terms of cost and environmental impact. This can sometimes lead to reduced rents and greater flexibility, which can, for example, involve more shared facilities with other tenants, such as conference and fitness areas. This allows rents per sqm to be maintained or even continue to increase, while reducing tenants' annual costs and providing them with premises that support their business. Our geographically concentrated portfolio and local knowledge are a great advantage in these processes. Our properties are also in locations that support new ways of working and travelling.

In the short term, inflation contributes to increased rental income. However, there is no guarantee that market rents will follow suit. For quite a few years of steady rental growth and low inflation, market rents have been higher than outgoing rents. Now we find ourselves in a situation where it can sometimes be the other way round. This is nothing new, but it has been quite a few years since we last faced such a situation.

It is pleasing to see that more and more companies looking for premises have a genuine interest in sustainability issues. Fabege's reuse initiative is attracting attention, and our key performance indicators for energy use and carbon footprint are impressive. During the quarter, we took an important step towards our goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. We signed an agreement with Stockholm Exergi concerning the capturing of biogenic carbon dioxide, which is known as bio-CCS (bio energy with carbon capture and storage) and the future purchasing of

negative emissions. The agreement complements our successful energy efficiency work. We are continuing to distinguish between 'good costs', which bring in revenue, and 'bad costs', which waste money. Consistently leading the way in terms of sustainability is definitely a good cost. an agreement with Stockholm Exergi concerning the capturing of biogenic carbon dioxide, which is known as bio-CCS (bio energy with carbon capture and storage) and the future purchasing of negative emissions. The agreement complements our successful energy efficiency work. We have to keep distinguishing between 'good costs', which bring in revenue, and 'bad costs', which waste money. Continuing to lead the way in terms of sustainability is definitely a good cost.

Our new construction projects are proceeding, and it will be exciting to welcome the Royal Swedish Opera, Royal Dramatic Theatre and Alfa Laval to Flemingsberg in 2024 and 2025, as well as JM, Randstad and others to Haga Norra.

The residential project in cooperation with Brabo in Haga Norra is approaching completion. Of a total of 418 apartments, 388 have now been sold, including 18 in 2023. At the beginning of the year, Birger Bostad completed and finalised a couple of projects and welcomed a large number of occupants in the other projects. Eleven homes have been sold in Riksten, and the selling rate for BRF projects under construction is 91 per cent.

I'm also extremely proud that we have advanced to 20th place among Sweden's Best Workplaces™ for medium-sized organisations in Great Place To Work's annual employee survey. As in surveys in previous years, we have continued to improve our results, which underlines the quality of the values-based work carried out in our daily activities. Overall, 98 per cent of all our employees are of the opinion that Fabege is an excellent place to work. Being a team with a strong corporate culture is important for us to deliver value to our stakeholders.

Earnings Jan–Mar 20231

Earnings after tax for the period amounted to SEK –1,584m (2,782), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK –5.04 (8.69). Earnings before tax for the period amounted to SEK –1,977m (3,495). Higher interest costs and negative changes in the value of the property portfolio and derivatives portfolio in the first quarter meant that earnings before tax declined compared with the same period last year.

FIRST QUARTER IN BRIEF

  • The Stockholm market in general showed stable rent levels during the first quarter, but high tenant turnover and slightly increased vacancies.
  • New lettings totalled SEK 48m (61).
  • Net lettings amounted to SEK –12m (8) after a couple of significant lease terminations.
  • Rental income totalled SEK 829m (762).
  • The surplus ratio was 72 per cent (73).
  • Revenue from residential development amounted to SEK 187m (7) and gross earnings totalled SEK 22m (–7).
  • Net interest amounted to SEK –221m (–127).
  • Profit from property management totalled SEK 351m (381).
  • Unrealised changes in value in the property portfolio amounted to SEK –2,110m (2,159), of which projects accounted for SEK 493m (225).
  • Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK –217m (881).
  • Earnings after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK –1,584m (2,782).

RENTAL INCOME AND NET OPERATING INCOME

Rental income increased to SEK 829m (762) and net operating income amounted to SEK 598m (554). On a like-for-like basis, income rose by approximately 8 per cent (8). The increase in income was mainly due to the index increase that took effect at the beginning of the year. Other significant changes related to increased income due to Convendum's move into Bocken 39, while the Swedish Tax Agency's vacation of Nöten 4 on 31 March 2022 had a negative effect.The increase in property expenses related mainly to higher costs for snow removal and electricity. Net operating income on a like-for-like basis rose by approximately 8 per cent (9). The surplus ratio was 72 per cent (73).

PROFIT FROM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

Revenue from residential development totalled SEK 187m (7) during the period. Costs relating to housing development amounted to SEK –165m (–14), including administrative expenses of SEK –5m (–8). Gross earnings therefore totalled SEK 22m (–7). Income is recognised in connection with phased occupancy or upon completion. During the period, two projects were completed and finalised, one in Landskrona and one in Sigtuna. Two more projects have been partially settled. Income from co-owned projects is recognised under the item 'Share in profit/loss of associated companies'.

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

Central administration costs amounted to SEK –26m (–25).

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net interest items amounted to SEK –221m (–127). During the quarter, the average interest rate gradually increased as the Riksbank's policy rate hike had an effect on the market rate (STIBOR). The average interest rate at 31 March was 2.75 per cent

(2.39 at the turn of the year). Ground rent amounted to SEK –12m (–11).

SHARE IN PROFIT/LOSS OF ASSOCIATED COMPANIES

The share in the profit/loss of associated companies totalledSEK –10m (–3) and mainly related to contributions to Arenabolaget.

CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF PROPERTIES

The property portfolio is valued using a well-established process. The entire property portfolio is independently valued at least once a year. 47 per cent of the portfolio was independently valued in the first quarter, while the remaining properties were valued internally based on the most recent independent valuations. The total market value at the end of the period was SEK 85.0bn (86.3). Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK –2,110m (2,159). The average yield requirement rose by 0.12 percentage points to 4.11 per cent (3.99). The increased yield requirements were a result of higher interest rates. Valuations were partly offset by increased rent levels due to higher inflation assumptions.

TAX

The tax expense for the period totalled SEK 393m (–713) and related to deferred tax. Tax was calculated at a rate of 20.6 per cent on taxable earnings. The interest deduction limitations are not expected to have a material effect on taxes paid over the next few years.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 570m (531), representing a surplus ratio of 74 per cent (76). The occupancy rate stood at 90 per cent (89). Profit from property management totalled SEK 342m (390). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK –1,609m (1,934).

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 341m (383). Changes in working capital had an impact on cash flow of SEK 112m (220). Investing activities had an impact of SEK –778m (–478) on cash flow, while cash flow from financing activities totalled SEK 320m (–59). In investing activities, cash flow is driven by property transactions and projects. Cash and cash equivalents declined by a total of SEK 5m (66) during the period.

NEW LETTING IN FIRST QUARTER, HAGA NORRA Fabege and Randstad have signed a lease of just over 3,200 sqm in the office project Kvarter 1, Haga Norra. The lease is for seven years

and occupancy is scheduled to commence on 1 March 2025. Kvarter 1 comprises 27,000 sqm and the occupancy rate in the project is 41 per cent following lettings to SATS, JM and Randstad.

The property is being certified to BREEAM-SE standard, Excellent.

In Arenastaden's new Haga Norra district, we are creating 70,000 sqm of commercial floorspace and 1,000 new homes.

Financing

Fabege employs long-term credit facilities subject to fixed terms and conditions. The company's creditors mainly comprise the major Nordic banks and investors on the capital market.

FINANCING

Fabege is striving to achieve a balance between different forms of financing on both the capital and banking markets, longterm relationships with major financial backers having high priority. Fabege's bank facilities are complemented by an MTN programme of SEK 18bn, a commercial paper programme of SEK 5bn and the possibility of borrowing a maximum of SEK 6bn via SFF's secured MTN programme.

The quarter began with some stabilisation of the financial markets, which enabled us to utilise the long-term capital market by issuing an unsecured bond of SEK 250m. Following this, banking sector turmoil spread across Europe and Sweden after some small US banks encountered problems. This led to a rebound in volatility and a decline in longer-term market interest rates. However, short-term interest rates rose further on the prospect of the Riksbank continuing to raise the policy rate. The sharp increase in interest rates means increased interest expenses for Fabege, but these are to some extent mitigated by the fact that a large proportion is hedged using derivatives.

Total financing increased by SEK 635m during the quarter and comprised funding via the capital market of SEK 13.2bn and via the bank market of SEK 20.8bn.

The share of capital market funding decreased slightly as committed lines of credit signed before the end of the year were disbursed and partly used to repay maturities in both the commercial paper and bond markets.

Committed lines of credit and undrawn credit facilities, including the backup facility for the commercial paper programme, amounted to SEK 5.7bn.

Fabege's fixed-interest term at the end of the quarter was 2.5 years. The derivatives portfolio comprised interest rate swaps totalling SEK 19,650m, maturing in 2032 and carrying fixed annual interest of between – 0.15 and 1.30 per cent.

Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 29m, which mainly related to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and costs relating to bond and commercial paper programmes. During the period, interest totalling SEK 7m (6) relating to project properties was capitalised.

Fabege firmly believes in the ability of the financial market to contribute to a more sustainable society, and is keen to play an active role in its transition towards greater accountability. 100 per cent of the loan portfolio is classified as green.

GREEN FINANCING

Fabege's green financing framework was updated in June 2022. The framework has been designed to give Fabege broad opportunities for green financing and is based on third party-certified properties and ambitious energy consumption targets. It is based on the green bond principles, adapted to the EU taxonomy and linked to Fabege's ambition to contribute to the goals of Agenda 2030. In addition to stringent energy efficiency requirements, this includes climate analyses that assess risks associated with climate change such as flooding, strong winds, intense heat and other extreme weather events. CICERO has issued a second opinion, with ratings of 'medium green' for the green terms and conditions, and 'excellent' for governance. Green financing offers Fabege better terms and access to more financing alternatives.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Fabege's property management and urban and property development activities are concentrated on a few selected submarkets in and around Stockholm: Stockholm inner city, Solna, Hammarby Sjöstad and Flemingsberg. As of 31 March 2023, Fabege owned 102 properties with a total rental value of SEK 3.9bn, lettable floor space of 1.3m sqm and a book value of SEK 85.0bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 14.3bn.

OCCUPANCY RATE

The investment property portfolio's financial occupancy rate was 90 per cent (89) at the end of the period. The biggest vacancies relate mainly to three properties in Solna Business Park. Contractually agreed occupancies and departures in the investment property portfolio are expected to contribute an additional SEK 63m in regular annual rental income over the next few quarters. The financial occupancy rate for development properties is not measured as most of these properties are vacant, or have been partially let on short-term leases pending demolition or redevelopment. These cover a surface area of 236 thousand sqm, of which 146 thousand sqm are being let for a current annual rent of SEK 214m. Significant ongoing projects make up a lettable area of approximately 150 thousand sqm, with a rental value of SEK 404m.

The project portfolio's occupancy rate was 38 per cent at the end of the quarter.

NET LETTINGS

During the period, 8 (36) new leases were signed with a combined rental value of SEK 48m (61), and 100 per cent (93) of the space related to green leases. Lease terminations amounted to SEK –60m (–53). Net lettings totalled SEK –12m (8). Leases totalling SEK 34m (20) were renegotiated, with an average decline in rental value of 4 per cent (increase: 17). Renegotiations mainly related to retail units. Leases worth SEK 179m were also extended on unchanged terms. The

retention rate during the period was 76 per cent (88).

CHANGES IN THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

February saw the acquisition of the other half of the partly owned Klacken 1 property, a garage property in Råsunda. An agreement was also reached on the sale of approximately 42,500 sqm of residential development rights in Huvudsta, Solna to JM. The property value amounts to SEK 484m including paid development contributions, and the handover date was 4 April 2023. The transaction will be recognised in the second quarter to coincide with the handover.

PROJECTS AND INVESTMENTS

The purpose of Fabege's project investments in the investment property portfolio is to reduce vacancy rates and increase rents in the property portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and values. Investments in existing properties and projects during the period totalled SEK 699m (436), of which SEK 416m (255) related to investments in project and development properties. Capital invested in the investment property portfolio amounted to SEK 283m (181), a significant proportion of which related to tenant customisations.

COMPLETED PROJECTS

No projects were completed during the period.

MAJOR ONGOING PROJECTS

New construction of premises for the Royal Swedish Opera and Royal Dramatic Theatre at the Regulatorn 4 property in Flemingsberg is proceeding according to schedule. The foundation work is now complete, and work is underway on assembly of the frame. The investment is expected to amount to SEK 465m and the property will be ready for occupancy in June 2024. The property is being certified to BREEAM-SE standard, Very Good. New construction of the office building at the Ackordet 1 property in Haga Norra is proceeding. The frame was completed in the autumn and interior works are ongoing.

The investment is estimated at around SEK 1.4bn. The property is being certified to BREEAM-SE standard, Excellent. Following the letting to Randstad, the occupancy rate is 42 per cent. The next phase in the development of Haga Norra has begun, with investment in parking areas to serve the district and form the basis for future residential blocks. The investment is estimated at SEK 495m, with completion scheduled for 2024.

The construction of a multistorey car park at the Semaforen 1 property in

Arenastaden is progressing, with assembly of the frame and facade. The investment is estimated at SEK 330m. The project is expected to make a loss of around SEK -130m, but it resolves a parking deficit, which has meant cost savings for other adjacent projects.

In Flemingsberg, the project at Separatorn 1 relating to the construction of offices and laboratories for Alfa Laval is continuing. The project was expanded in the autumn to cover a lettable area of roughly 23,400 sqm excluding parking, of which Alfa Laval is leasing approximately 91 per cent. Work on excavation and the foundations is currently underway, and construction has begun on the frame. The investment is estimated at SEK 1,060m, excluding land acquisition. Alfa Laval will take up occupancy in the second quarter of 2025.

Work is ongoing on the redevelopment of Nöten 4, Solna strand, with basic building investments. The property will be adapted for several tenants and the investment is estimated at a total of SEK 770m, including investments for tenant customisations, which, however, will only be carried out once the lease has been signed.

The tenant customisation for Convendum in Hägern Mindre 7, Drottninggatan, is ongoing with occupancy scheduled for June 2023. The investment totals SEK 88m.

In addition, basic building investments at the Påsen 1 property in Hammarby Sjöstad have begun. The entire investment is estimated to total SEK 376m, including investments for tenant customisations, which, however, will only be carried out once the lease has been signed.

PROJECT COSTS

Delivery capacity is now back to normal and the construction index has declined slightly from its peak. Some product groups, such as prefab, wood and steel, have seen a major decline recently, while others, such as installations, plastering and painting, remain high with some price increases. However, market indications, including significant pressure on residential construction, mean that we believe there will be pressure on prices in the future, and we are seeing heightened interest in submitting quotes and competing for our assignments. The higher interest rates also meant that the project calculations were adjusted upwards by the estimated capitalised interest expense during the project period.

BIRGER BOSTAD

Birger Bostad's project portfolio includes 24 projects, of which 7 are under construction, with an estimated investment volume of approximately SEK 900m. During the first quarter, two projects, BRF Vårbruket in Landskrona and BRF Slottsträdgården in Steninge Slottsby, Sigtuna, were completed and finalised. In addition, earnings corresponding to phased occupancy of 22 homes in BRF Majoren in Riksten, Botkyrka, and 14 homes in BRF Höstbruket in Landskrona were partially settled. In addition, handovers have been completed for four tenant-owner associations, which will be finalised in the second quarter. During the first quarter, 11 homes were sold in BRF Generalens Allé in Riksten. The selling rate for the BRF projects under construction was 91 per cent at 31 March.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

The residential project in cooperation with Brabo in Haga Norra is essentially completed. The project includes 418 apartments, including four BRFs, that are being constructed in a 3D reallotment above the facility that Fabege built for Bilia. The final few apartments will be completed ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2023. A total of 388 apartments have been sold, including 369 apartments that are now occupied by the tenantowners. The joint venture projects has been recognised using the equity method. Income is recognised in connection with completion of the projects once the last apartments have been sold.

Fabege's sustainability work

Our ambition is not limited to developing sustainable city districts, properties and premises. We aim to contribute to a sustainable Stockholm. Our sustainability strategy is an integral part of our business concept, business model and corporate culture.

Goals for 2030

  • Carbon neutral property management.
  • Halving of the climate impact of project development per GFA

73 kWh/sqm

Average energy use in 2022

GRESB 2022

In 2022, Fabege once again achieved 94 points out of 100 in GRESB's sustainability survey. The average rating was 74 points.

Goals & strategy

URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Our approach is rooted in a holistic perspective to strengthen our neighbourhoods as experience-based meeting places, where the primary focus is on health, convenience, safety and comfort. By influencing everything from energy systems to sustainable travel, we can also help reduce our carbon footprint. A large proportion of our customers opt for public transport, but we are also seeing an increased demand for parking spaces and charging points for electric cars. This is why we continuously install charging points for electric cars in both buildings and street environments. We already offer over 1,200 charging points, but to meet increasing needs we initiated an ambitious expansion project during the quarter to double this figure in 2023.

Work continues under the remit of social sustainability with BID Flemingsberg and active contributions to local job creation via TalangAkademin. In procurements carried out during the quarter, the requirements are based on compliance with Fabege's Code of Conduct and a clause in the tender documents that encourages suppliers to accept trainees from TalangAkademin.

REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT IN PROJECTS

The targets and roadmap that we have established in support of the Paris Agreement via the Science Based Targets initiative form the backbone of Fabege's work on climate issues. New construction and major refurbishments completed after 2030 will have a 50-per cent lower carbon footprint compared with Fabege's 2019 baseline. During the quarter, we worked in accordance with the first intermediate goal as part of our 2030 commitment:

  • Planning permission before 2025, 20 per cent lower CO2 footprint
  • Planning permission 2025–2027, 35 per cent lower CO2 footprint

• Planning permission 2027,

50 per cent lower CO2 footprint At the ongoing office project Ackordet 1 in Haga Norra, we have a current reduction in CO2e of roughly 30 per cent. Fabege has a long-term, target-based and integrated approach to creating more sustainable properties. Our ultimate long-term goal is for Fabege's property management to be carbon neutral, as measured in kg CO2e/sqm, by 2030. By this we mean that we will have control over all the emissions associated with our operations, and we will minimise emissions to the greatest possible extent using the tools available. We will compensate for emissions over which we have no control via carbon offsetting, for example investments in additive technology that reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGETS

Fabege's average energy consumption is 73 kWh/sqm (accumulated 2022 outcome). The target is average energy use of 70 kWh/sqm by 2025. Fabege has been actively working to improve its energy efficiency for some time, and we are proud of the fact that we now rank among the most energy-efficient companies in the sector. During the quarter, we have stepped up our energy efficiency measures in all types of energy. The work has resulted in energy savings of 4 per cent (1 kWh) in the investment property portfolio compared with the first quarter of 2022.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION OF PROPERTIES

Fabege's objective is for the company's entire property portfolio to be certified to BREEAM-SE/BREEAM In-Use standard. All project properties and investment properties have been certified since 2019. Fabege's new builds are certified according to BREEAM-SE, with the ambition of

achieving level Excellent, and our investment properties according to BREEAM In-Use, ambition level Very Good.

GREEN FRAMEWORK UPDATED IN JUNE 2022

The framework has been designed to give Fabege broad opportunities for green financing and is based on third partycertified properties and ambitious energy consumption targets. It is based on the green bond principles, adapted to the EU taxonomy and linked to Fabege's ambition to contribute to the goals of Agenda 2030. CICERO has issued a second opinion, with ratings of 'medium green' for the green terms and conditions, and 'excellent' for governance. Find out more at www.fabege.se/en.

THE EU TAXONOMY

Fabege is subject to the EU's Non-Financial Reporting Directive. Reporting on the extent to which the Group's activities are covered by, and compliant with, the EU taxonomy can be found in Note 4 EU taxonomy, page 23.

The full tables in accordance with EU taxonomy objective 1, including DNSH criteria and minimum safeguards, are presented in the 2022 Annual Report.

65 of Fabege's 102 properties were certified at the end of the period. Overall, this represents 84 per cent of the total combined area of Fabege's existing portfolio. The properties for which certification has not yet begun include land and development properties for future project development.

During the quarter, work continued on driving sustainable improvements in construction, management and operations, in connection with the certifications.

All residential new builds are certified according to the Nordic Ecolabel.

SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

Fabege collaborates with customers, municipalities, authorities, other property owners and associations to create safe and attractive areas. We are continuing to focus on social sustainability in urban planning and projects as we develop the physical environment in our city districts. Fabege's actions are centred on networks and dialogue, as well as education, leisure time, health and work.

Examples of initiatives:

  • BID (business improvement district) started in Flemingsberg
  • Läxhjälp homework club in Flemingsberg
  • Changers Hub in Huddinge
  • TalangAkademin in Huddinge
  • Support for the Stockholm City Mission
  • Street Gallery, Solna Business Park
  • Support for local sports clubs
  • Pep Parks in Solna
  • Vinnova 'Social sustainability in the physical environment' project

• Nature and the environment guide, containing teaching materials for grades 4, 5 & 6.

EDUCATION

During the quarter, Fabege's Board conducted an in-depth review of sustainability issues based on the company's strategy and business model. Sustainability strategy and target areas were discussed, along with current tools for sustainability challenges and opportunities.

ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

The following is a quarterly follow-up of Fabege's work on sustainability issues. The starting point is Fabege's annual Sustainability Report. The quarterly report has not been prepared in accordance with the GRI guidelines and therefore does not address certain issues. An overall picture of the company's sustainability work is published once a year in the Sustainability Report; find out more at

RENTAL VALUE PER CATEGORY

OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS

Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations relate primarily to changes in rents, vacancies and interest rates. The effect of the changes on consolidated profit, including a sensitivity analysis, and a more detailed description of risks and opportunities, are presented in the section on Risks and opportunities in the 2022 Annual Report (pages 67–76).

Properties are recognised at fair value and changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. The effects of changes in value on consolidated profit, the equity/assets ratio and the loan-tovalue ratio are also presented in the section on Risks and opportunities and the sensitivity analysis in the 2022 Annual Report. Financial risk, defined as the risk of insufficient access to long-term funding via loans, and Fabege's management of this risk, are also described in the Risks and opportunities section of the 2022 Annual Report (pages 67–76).

Fabege's aims for the capital structure are to have an equity/assets ratio of at least 35 per cent and an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.2x. The target for the loan-to-value ratio is a maximum of 50 per cent. The debt ratio will amount to a maximum of 13x.

High inflation and continued turmoil in financial markets have increased the risk of rising market interest rates and yield requirements for property investments. The high inflation rate also affects the price of building materials, for example, and thus calculations relating to future project starts.

No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have arisen, aside from the above, since the publication of the 2022 Annual Report.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

Expenses for the running and maintenance of properties are subject to seasonal variations. For example, cold and snowy winters give rise to higher costs for heating and snow clearance, while hot summers result in higher cooling costs. Activity in the rental market is seasonal. Normally, more business transactions are completed in the second and fourth quarters, which means that net lettings in these quarters are often higher.

MARKET OUTLOOK

We note that activity on the rental market in Stockholm is high, with increased tenant turnover but continued stable rent levels. Lettings continue to be agreed at good levels, but the indexation from the turn of the year is expected to limit the potential for renegotiations, particularly in relation to retail units.

Capital is available in the bond market, and prices did show some improvement at the start of the year, but they continue to drive property companies in our rating segment towards an increased share of bank financing. Furthermore, rising market rates are beginning to have an adverse impact on earnings. The proportion of Fabege's fixed-rate borrowing is 61 per cent, which will mitigate the effect of higher market rates for the next few years. Rising interest rates have impacted yield requirements in property valuations. Higher yield requirements have been partially met by higher inflation assumptions. The market anticipates continued rising yield requirements as market rates increase. Although there have been few completed transactions on the transaction market, those that have been completed confirm that long-term investors remain willing to pay good prices for quality in Stockholm.

Fabege continues to show a strong financial position. We have created new investment opportunities in our areas via the acquisitions completed in recent years. With the acquisition of Birger Bostad in the autumn of 2021, we took a step towards more comprehensive urban development that extends to residential units as well. Fabege's hallmark is stability – we have a portfolio of modern properties in attractive locations, stable customers and committed employees. We are well-placed to take on the challenges and opportunities open to us on the market over the coming year.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fabege prepares its consolidated financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The Group has applied the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the most recent annual report.

New or revised IFRS standards or other IFRIC interpretations that came into effect after 1 January 2023 have not had any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Parent Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and has applied the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the last annual report.

Notes

NOTE 1 DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are measured at fair value as Level 2 assets. The derivatives portfolio is measured at the present value of future cash flows. Changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. Changes in value are recognised for accounting purposes and have no impact on cash flow. At maturity, the market value of derivative instruments is always zero. The valuation assumptions have not changed significantly compared with the most recent annual report.

NOTE 2 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

On the balance sheet date, contingent liabilities comprised guarantees and commitments in favour of associated companies and subsidiaries of SEK 514m (489) and other 0 (0).

NOTE 3 SEGMENT REPORTING – CLASSIFICATIONS AND RECLASSIFICATIONS DURING THE PERIOD

In accordance with IFRS 8, segments are presented from the management's point of view, broken down by segment. Following the acquisition of Birger Bostad, segment reporting has been adjusted to better highlight the various business areas. Fabege's property portfolio is classified as follows:

  • Property Management properties under ongoing, long-term management
  • Property Development properties awaiting a redevelopment or extension that will have a significant impact on ongoing property management and net operating income
  • Projects Land and development properties, and properties undergoing new construction/complete redevelopment.
  • Residential Birger Bostad's operations constitute a separate segment.

Rental income and property expenses, as well as realised and unrealised changes in the value of properties, are directly attributable to properties in the respective segments (direct income and expenses). If a property changes type during the year, the earnings attributable to the property are allocated to the respective segments based on the period of time for which the property belonged to the segments. Central administration costs and net financial items have been allocated to segments on a standardised basis according to each segment's share of the total property value (indirect income and expenses). Property assets are directly attributed to the respective segments and recognised on the balance sheet date. All revenue and expenses attributable to Birger Bostad's operations are recognised in the Residential segment.

No reclassifications have been made during the period.

NOTE 4 EU TAXONOMY

Percentage of activities eligible for the taxonomy:

Key ratios Total, SEKm Activities eligible for the taxonomy, % Activities not eligible for the taxonomy 2023 Q1, %
Revenue 848 100 65
Operating expenditure 41 100 56
Capital expenditure 756 100 23

Fabege owns and manages properties, with a primary focus on commercial properties in the Stockholm area. The vast majority of the property portfolio falls within the scope of the taxonomy and the economic activities applied are:

7.1 Construction of new buildings

7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings

The proportion of Fabege's operations that are environmentally sustainable according to the EU Taxonomy Regulation is reported via three financial ratios: revenue, operating expenditure and capital expenditure.

Recognition of revenue:

All revenues related to the properties included in the economic activities above are recognised. This refers to rental income, including the standard supplements. No material income that should be excluded has been identified.

Recognition of operating expenditure:

Operating expenditure includes property management costs, regular repairs, maintenance and expensed tenant customisations. Birger Bostad's production costs for residential development are recorded as operating expenses but are not included here, as they do not fall within the definition of operating expenses according to the taxonomy.

Recognition of capital expenditure:

Relates to capital expenditure for acquisitions and capitalised investment expenditure related to the properties included in the economic activities.

Percentage of activities aligned with the taxonomy:

Fabege contributes significantly to objective 1, i.e. climate change mitigation, including the Do No Significant Harm criteria. The existing properties assessed as being aligned with objective 1 have an EPC-A level energy performance certificate or are in the top 15 per cent in terms of primary energy use in Sweden (in accordance with the definition applied by the Swedish Property Federation for existing buildings). The properties have undergone a climate resilience analysis.

According to Fabege's assessment, 65 per cent of its revenue, 56 per cent of operating expenditure and 23 per cent of capital expenditure are aligned with the taxonomy, based on fulfilment of objective 1, including the DNSH criteria. The outcome is based on the 2022 outcome for primary energy numbers. The reason the percentage of capital expenditure that is green is reported as low is that Fabege has chosen to make a conservative assessment of ongoing new construction projects and interpret that they are covered by all DNSH requirements in 7.1. These are reported as non-compliant with the taxonomy, as interpretations of the DNSH requirements and documentation of this to demonstrate compliance are not yet fully in place. Fabege believes that, in the long run, at least part of the capital expenditure will be classified as being aligned with the taxonomy.

Fabege also meets the taxonomy's requirements for Minimum Safeguards related to human rights, anti-corruption, transparency regarding tax burdens and fair competition.

The full tables are only presented annually and can be found in Fabege's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2022 on pages 134–136.

Property of the Year 2023, in the category Public-services.

'Årets Bygge' is the prestigious prize awarded each year by construction journal Byggindustrin. The prize is awarded to an individual construction project completed during the previous year.

This is Fabege

Fabege is one of Sweden's leading property companies. We develop attractive and sustainable city districts, with a primary focus on commercial properties within a limited number of well-located submarkets in the Stockholm region. We are one of the largest property owners in Stockholm and have a clear strategy for our property holdings, with a portfolio grouped into clusters. The Group also includes Birger Bostad, which is a property development company focused on residential and public-services property. The large number of residential development rights that we hold means that together we have a great opportunity to create mixed-use developments in our city districts. The concentration of our properties in well-contained clusters ensures greater customer proximity and, when coupled with Fabege's thorough knowledge of the market, creates a solid foundation for efficient property management and high occupancy rates. At 31 March 2023, Fabege owned 102 properties with a total market value of SEK 85.0bn. Their rental value stood at SEK 4.0bn. This has been supplemented by Birger Bostad's development portfolio, comprising ongoing and future residential development projects with a value of SEK 795m.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

Fabege develops sustainable city districts, with a primary focus on commercial properties within a limited number of welllocated submarkets in the Stockholm region.

Value is created via property management, property development, project development and transactions. We are keen to be a supportive partner that puts people front and centre and enables companies, locations and our city to develop.

BUSINESS MODEL

Fabege is active in three business areas: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions.

STRATEGY FOR GROWTH

Fabege's strategy is to create value by managing, improving and developing its property portfolio and through transactions, acquiring and divesting properties with the aim of increasing the property portfolio's potential. Fabege's properties are located in the most liquid market in Sweden. Attractive locations lead to a low vacancy rate in the investment property portfolio. Modern properties permit flexible solutions and attract customers. With its concentrated portfolio and high-profile local presence, investments to enhance the appeal of an area are sure to benefit many of Fabege's customers.

VALUE DRIVERS

Fabege's operations are affected by a number of external factors, such as the pricing of and demand for premises, the transaction market's required rate of return, and changes in market interest rates, which set the conditions for the company's success.

Stockholm is growing

Stockholm is one of the five metropolitan areas in WesternEurope experiencing the highest rate of population growth. The population of Stockholm County is forecast to continue to grow over the next 20 years. The most significant growth is in people in the active labour force, which is boosting demand for office premises.

Changing demand

New technology and new working methods are fuelling demand for flexible and space-efficient premises in prime locations. Peripheral services and effective communication links in the form of public transport are in increasing demand, as are environmentally-certified offices and green leases.

Changing demand

Economic trends

The property market is impacted by trends in both the Swedish and the global economy. Demand for premises is closely linked to GDP growth and companies' need for premises. Changes in market interest rates affect required rates of return.

Sustainable urban development

Sustainability issues are becoming increasingly important in terms of both individual properties and entire areas. Interest in environmental considerations relating to the choice of materials and energy-saving measures is on the rise. Demand is increasing for premises in areas with a good mix of offices, retail, service and residential units, and good transport links and environmental engagement.

Business model

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The essence of Fabege's operations is finding the right premises for customers' specific requirements and ensuring customer satisfaction. This is accomplished through long-term efforts, based on close dialogue with the customer, which builds mutual trust and loyalty.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

High-quality property development is the second key cornerstone of our business. Fabege has long-standing experience in the management of extensive property development projects, and endeavours to attract longterm tenants for properties that have not yet been fully developed and can be redesigned based on customers' specific requirements.

TRANSACTIONS

Property transactions are an integral part of Fabege's business model and make a significant contribution to the company's earnings. The company continuously analyses its property portfolio in order to seize opportunities to generate capital growth through acquisitions and divestments.

Definitions

Fabege presents certain financial performance measures in the Interim Report that are not defined in IFRS. The company believes that these measures provide valuable supplementary information for investors and the company's management, as they enable an assessment and benchmarking of the company's reporting. Since not all companies calculate financial performance measures in the same way, they are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial performance measures should therefore not be regarded as substitutes for measures defined in IFRS. The following key performance indicators are not defined in IFRS, unless otherwise stated.

ACTUAL DEFERRED TAX

Estimated actual deferred tax has been calculated as approximately 4 per cent based on a 3 per cent discount rate. Furthermore, it has been assumed that loss carryforwards are realised over four years with a nominal tax rate of 20.6 per cent, which results in a net present value for deferred tax assets of 19.7 per cent. The calculation is also based on the property portfolio being realised over 50 years, 10 per cent being sold directly with a nominal tax rate of 20.6 per cent, and the remaining 90 per cent being sold indirectly via companies with a nominal tax rate of 6 per cent, which results in a net present value for deferred tax liabilities of 4 per cent.
