1) The former term "Profit from property management excluding changes in value and tax in joint ventures" has been replaced with "Profit from property management." Refer to the Condensed statement of profit/loss on page 20 and Definitions on page 32.
IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, NYFOSA ACQUIRED eight properties located in Västervik, Halmstad and the Finnish city of Turku in three separate transactions. A common feature of all of the properties is their good locations for their respective purpose and strong cash flows.
The properties have a total area of approximately 37 thousand square meters, of which 7 thousand square meters comprise offices in prime locations in central Västervik and the remaining area comprises warehouses and industry in established industrial areas in Halmstad and Turku. The occupancy rate of the premises is 97.6 percent, and the largest tenants are the Social Insurance Agency, the Social Welfare Office and Region Halland. The total annual rental value is MSEK 38.
The conditions for the property sector changed extremely quickly in 2022. The interest rate level together with a cautious capital market has made financing both more expensive and more difficult. Cash flow has always been our focus and I cannot emphasize enough how important this approach was over the past year. Nyfosa's cash flow per share increased 9.3 percent to SEK 8.35 during the year. Income rose 28 percent and net operating income was the highest in the company's history, with growth of 27 percent. Property valuations were stable during the year. The board proposes an increased dividend to SEK 4.00 per share.
The growth in cash flow comes mainly from the transactions we carried out during the year. In brief, we sold low-yield properties in Sweden and acquired high-yield properties in Finland. In total we acquired properties for SEK 4.4 billion and divested for SEK 1.7 billion during the year. We will continue to work on our portfolio and strengthen our cash flows by developing properties and being active in the transaction market.
Net leasing was positive in Sweden again in the past quarter, but a lease termination in Finland broke the overall trend. However, the vacant space in Finland has been leased again in February 2023. Net leasing for the full-year was plus MSEK 5. All regions reported strong activities and moving forward I am positive about the leasing situation of our property portfolio. With the indexation that took place at year-end, with rents increased by about SEK 75 per sqm, we still have competitive rent levels, and the increase were handled well by most of our tenants. The efforts of our property management toward meeting our sustainability targets further intensified during the year and generated results in terms of lower energy consumption.
The negative market trend has drawn attention to the valuations of properties. Nyfosa reports a minor negative change in value by approximately –1 percent for the full-year as a result of rising yield requirements in the valuations from 5.8 percent to 6.4 percent. It is positive as such that we received a relatively large yield shift without any major nominal value adjustments. The higher yield requirements are counterbalanced by Nyfosa's positive trend in net operating income from leases, value-adding projects and rent indexation.
As previously mentioned, 93 percent of Nyfosa's loan portfolio is bank financing, and the remainder bonds. 42 percent of the debt portfolio is hedged with an interest rate cap or swap with a remaining term of 2.2 years and our interest-coverage ratio is a multiple of 3.8. I can conclude that the bank market remains stable, and I see signals of a slight increase in activity in the bond market.
I believe that we will have to live with a cautious market that is difficult to navigate, but I am also convinced that this will create opportunities. We are looking ahead. There is much to do.

Income amounted to MSEK 3,151 (2,459), up 28.1 percent compared with last year. The larger portfolio was the main reason for the growth. Growth in the like-for-like portfolio amounted to MSEK 108.
The economic occupancy rate for the year was 93.7 percent (93.7). In the like-for-like property portfolio, the economic occupancy rate was 94.0 percent (93.4).

| Like-for-like portfolio | 2,211 | 2,103 |
| Acquisitions and divestments | 939 | 355 |
| Total | 3,151 | 2,459 |
Rent receivables for rents invoiced were settled in accordance with the contractual terms, except for a small number of invoices. About 92 percent of the annual rental income in Nyfosa's leases have clauses on annual indexation. The majority of these indexation clauses refer to 100 percent of the base rent and are to follow the CPI, or equivalent, for October. The upward indexation of the annual rent for 2023 in existing leases amounted to MSEK 228, which will impact earnings from January 1, 2023.
Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 635 (439), which is an increase of 44.6 percent. The increase was due to a larger portfolio and higher energy prices in both Sweden and Finland. About 50 percent of total costs for electricity, heating and cooling are charged on to tenants.
Maintenance costs declined year-on-year. Total costs amounted to MSEK 143 (167), a decrease of MSEK 24.
Costs for property administration amounted to MSEK 129 (91), with the increase due to a larger property portfolio.
Net operating income amounted to MSEK 2,092 (1,651), which is an increase of 26.7 percent. The surplus ratio was 66.4 percent (67.1) and was primarily impacted by the higher energy prices during the year.

Costs for central administration amounted to MSEK 161 (128).
Share in profit of joint ventures amounted to MSEK 672 (888), comprising profit from property management of MSEK 252 (218), and changes in value and tax of MSEK 381 (670). At the end of the year, the joint venture Söderport acquired additional shares in its subsidiary Torslanda Property Investment. The acquisition resulted in a non-recurring effect in the share in profit of MSEK 38.

1) From October 1, 2022, income is divided into Rental income and Service income in accordance with IFRS 15. Refer to Note 1 on page 24 and Definitions on page 32.
2) From October 1, 2022, the former earnings measure Profit from property management was renamed Profit after financial income and expenses, and the former earnings measure Profit from property management, excluding changes in value and tax in joint ventures was renamed Profit from property management. This change provides better comparability with other listed Swedish property companies with significant holdings of participations in joint ventures.
Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –664 (–443). The increase was due to higher net debt, amounting to MSEK 23,342 (20,511) on the balance-sheet date, and higher interest rates. The average interest expense, excluding opening charges, amounted to 3.5 percent (1.9) on the balance-sheet date.
As per December 31, 42 percent of the total debt portfolio was hedged with an interest-rate cap or swap. The average interest-rate cap was 1.56 percent and the average swap was 1.57 percent.
The interest-coverage ratio was a multiple of 3.8 (4.7).

Profit from property management amounted to MSEK 1,533 (1,302) or SEK 7.80 per share (6.90), up 13.0 percent.
Changes in values of properties amounted to MSEK –439 (1,652).
The yield requirements of the valuations increased during the year as an effect of macroeconomic developments. The negative valuation effect cased by the higher yield requirements is largely offset by the improved future net operating income due to new leases, renegotiations and rent indexation.
The weighted yield requirement for externally valued properties on December 31, 2022 was 6.39 percent (5.83).
All properties are valued by external independent appraisers at every quarterly closing, except for the properties that were closed on in the past quarter.
Changes in value from financial instruments amounted to MSEK 345 (19), and refer to interest-rate caps and swaps that increased in value due to rising market interest rates.
The tax expense for the period was MSEK 165 (532). The effective tax rate was 8.9 percent (14.6). The deviation from the nominal tax rate of 20.6 percent was mainly due to the profit from participations in joint ventures comprising profit after tax, and thus did not constitute taxable income for Nyfosa, but was also due to any non-taxable capital gains on the divestment of properties via companies, and the use of loss carryforwards changing over time.
Profit for the year amounted to MSEK 1,694 (3,112), or SEK 8.61 per share (16.49) after dilution. The decrease was mainly an effect of higher interest expenses and negative changes in value.
Total income amounted to MSEK 848 (672), which is an increase of 26.2 percent compared with the year-earlier quarter. Net operating income amounted to MSEK 576 (446), which is an increase of 29,1 percent. The surplus ratio for the quarter was 67.9 percent (66.3).
Costs for central administration amounted to MSEK 47 (35). Participations in joint ventures contributed a share in profit of MSEK 66 (57). Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –217 (–124).
Profit from property management for the Group amounted to MSEK 384 (345) or SEK 1.95 per share (1.78), up 9.1 percent.
The effect of revaluation of properties amounted to MSEK –1,491 (667). The negative value trend was mainly due to changed yield requirements from an average of 6.08 percent last quarter to 6.39 percent in the current valuation in the accounts.
Revaluations of financial instruments derivatives impacted profit by MSEK 6 (16).
Tax for the quarter amounted to MSEK 228 (–222) and comprised positive deferred tax attributable to the negative revaluation of the property portfolio. The effective tax rate was 20.5 percent (17.3).
Loss for the quarter amounted to MSEK –882 (1,061) or SEK –4.68 per share (5.52), after dilution.
In spring 2022, Nyfosa started to develop the Vasarakatu 27 property in Jyväskylä when a 15-year lease was signed with Spesia vocational school that specializes in providing vocational training and coaching to students who need individual support. The renovation is done mainly to better customize the property to the operations. At this site, Nyfosa is developing a diverse learning environment, with modern, safe and accessible spaces to offer support for learning difficulties, functional impairments and other social challenges. The project includes about 3,000 sqm in new construction and 900 sqm in renovation. The renovated areas will be completed in stages and the project is scheduled for completion in June 2023.
During the year, operating activities contributed MSEK 1,644 (1,389) in positive cash flow, of which MSEK 1,309 (1,057) was attributable to the wholly owned portfolio and MSEK 335 (332) was a dividend from participations in joint ventures.
Cash flow allocated to investments amounted to MSEK 3,392 (6,051). Taking possession of and vacating properties, both directly and indirectly via companies, impacted cash by a net MSEK 2,586 (5,556). Investments in existing properties amounted to MSEK 577 (475). Investments in participations in joint ventures amounted to MSEK 192 (17).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to MSEK 1,889 (4,884) and was attributable to net interest-bearing loans of MSEK 2,628 (3,925) and dividends to shareholders of MSEK –688 (–609).
Total cash flow for the year amounted to MSEK 140 (221).

The distributable cash flow is based on profit before tax adjusted for non-cash items, such as revaluation effects and share in profit of joint ventures.
Dividends received from participations in joint ventures, interest paid to hybrid bond holders and tax paid are included in cash flow.
The company's target is to achieve annual growth in distributable cash flow per share of 10 percent over time. During the year, the distributable cash flow was impacted by rising market rates and higher electricity prices. Despite this, growth of 9.3 percent was achieved for the year.
The average growth per year for 2019–2022 was 19.6 percent.

Nyfosa finances its assets through equity, bank loans with Nordic banks and loan funds, and hybrid bonds issued in the Swedish capital market. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 18,378 on the balance-sheet date, of which hybrid bonds was MSEK 763. Hybrid bonds of MSEK 37 were repurchased during the year.
Interest-bearing loans from the credit and capital markets amounted to MSEK 24,033, including allocated arrangement fees, of which bank loans with properties as collateral represented 93 percent, corresponding to MSEK 22,433, and senior unsecured bond loans 7 percent, corresponding to MSEK 1,600.
The bonds are green bonds issued under a green finance framework. This framework has been drawn up in accordance with the Green Bond Principles set by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) and has been audited by an independent third party, CICERO Shades of Green.
The total net loan-to-value ratio of the properties was 57.7 percent (55.2). To support liquidity and growth, the company has four prearranged lines of credit with banks, which have not always been fully utilized. The total scope in these revolving credit facilities can amount to a maximum of MSEK 3,335. This means that, against collateral in existing properties, Nyfosa can rapidly increase its borrowing at fixed terms to, for example, finance property acquisitions. After having utilized the credit scope, the company has the opportunity to renegotiate credit facilities to a standard bank loan, at which point the unutilized portion of the facilities increases. On the balance-sheet date, the company had utilized MSEK 1,048 the total amount granted of MSEK 1,313 against collateral in existing properties. To utilize the remaining MSEK 2,022 under this credit framework, acquired properties are used as collateral. In addition to the revolving credit facilities, the company has unutilized overdraft facilities with banks totaling MSEK 200.
New bank loans of MSEK 2,268 were raised in Finland during the year in connection with financial closing of property acquisitions. Bank loans totaling MSEK 3,038 were refinanced. Bonds of MSEK 873 were repurchased on the basis of a new

Repayments on existing bank loans in connection with divestments totaling MSEK 663 for the period.
The next loan maturity in the loan portfolio is in November 2023. This is a secured bank loan of MSEK 834. A bond of MSEK 1,100 matures in April 2024 and the remaining MSEK 500 in January 2025.
Nyfosa mainly has floating interest rates in its loan agreements. Exposure to increases in interest rates is managed by making use of derivative instruments, currently both interest-rate caps and swaps. The remaining term of signed derivative agreements was 2.2 years on the balance-sheet date. Interest-rate caps offer the holder security in the form of a maximum impact on total interest expenses if STIBOR 3M and EURIBOR 6M rise. However, rising interest rates that do not reach the interest-rate cap will have full impact on earnings. The interest-rate cap is 1.5–2.0 percent, and an average of 1.56 percent.
Interest-rate swaps of a nominal MSEK 1,120 were signed in the Finnish loan portfolio. Under these derivatives, Nyfosa pays a fixed annual rate of 1.57 percent.
As per December 31, 2022, 42 percent of the total debt portfolio was hedged with an interest-rate cap or swap.
The sensitivity analysis shows that the estimate impact on earnings of STIBOR 3M and EURIBOR 6M changing 1.0 percentage point is an increase of MSEK 126 in interest expenses, given existing derivative agreements. A rise in market rates of 2.0 percentage points would charge earnings with a MSEK 269 increase in higher interest expenses, given existing derivative agreements. In both examples, the interest-rate cap means that the higher rate does not have a full impact on the statement of profit/loss.

Nyfosa has a diverse property portfolio due to the company's focus on cash flow ahead of property category, size or region. The investment strategy has no restrictions, but it does prioritize commercial properties in high-growth municipalities in Sweden and regional cities in Finland. It is here that the company can leverage favorable trends such as a growing population and developments in the local business community.
This geographic diversity in the portfolio provides a large contact network of potential tenants and property players. It also spreads risks favorably, at the same time as properties mainly located outside the central areas of the major cities generally have relatively low rent levels, stable property valuations and even demand. Nyfosa has high diversification even in terms of property categories with its property portfolio comprising offices, warehouses/logistics, industry and retail properties, focusing on the big-box retail sector.
At year-end, the property portfolio comprised 504 properties with a total property value of MSEK 40,446 and a rental value of MSEK 3,739 with a leasable area of 3,012 thousand sqm. In addition to the wholly owned property portfolio, Nyfosa owns 50 percent of the property company Söderport in Sweden and Samfosa in Norway, for which Nyfosa's share of the property value amounts to SEK 7.9 billion. Söderport's and Samfosa's properties are not included in the tables and diagrams below but are presented separately on page 18.
The office properties are situated in Swedish high-growth municipalities such as Karlstad, Luleå, Sundsvall, Västerås, Malmö and Växjö as well as Finnish regional cities such as Jyväskylä and Tampere. Office properties are of high quality and most are centrally located in each town.
The logistics and warehouse premises are situated in towns such as Malmö, Haninge, Karlstad, Borås, Örebro and Växjö as well as regional cities in Finland. A considerable share of the properties are located in local and regional logistics hubs that are prime warehousing areas, and also warehouse and industrial areas close to city centers.
The retail properties are primarily situated in expansive and popular big-box retail areas in attractive locations close to public transit. These commercial areas are primarily in Luleå, Borås, Västerås and Huddinge. Tenants include mainly established grocery, DIY and gardening and big-box retail. The retail properties are of generally high quality, offer considerable flexibility in terms of use and have a high average occupancy rate. Nyfosa views select retail properties to be a good complement to other property categories in the portfolio.
The industrial properties focusing on light industry are situated in high-growth regions in locations such as Växjö, Värnamo, Tampere, Kuopio and Oulu. A considerable portion of the properties are situated in attractive industrial areas with good access to public communication and a proximity to cities. A large portion of the properties are modern buildings with a highly flexible range of applications. The tenants are typically active in such sectors as manufacturing, workshops and service.
This category includes mixed properties with no clear category. There is also a small number of properties, such as premises for hotel operations, schools, restaurants, healthcare and apartments. Properties in this category are located in high-growth regions that have positive population growth, such as Karlstad, Uppsala, Luleå, Stockholm, Örebro, Malmö, Jyväskylä and Helsinki.

1) According to current leases on January 1, 2023.
The rental value on January 1, 2023 amounted to MSEK 3,739, of which vacancy rent and discounts was MSEK 280. The share of index-linked annual rental income amounted to about 92 percent. Nyfosa had 6,575 leases including 2,586 leases for garages and parking spaces. The average lease term was 3.7 years. The lease term in the Finnish portfolio was 3.3 years. A large share of rental income in the Finnish portfolio refers to "until further notice leases" that run on a 12-month basis, which is a common form of agreement in Finland. Tenants lease their premises on average for a longer period.
Nyfosa has a highly diverse tenant list featuring only a small number of dominant tenants. The ten largest tenants represent 11 percent of total rental income and are distributed between 171 leases. Among the largest tenants are the Swedish Transport Agency, Delta Auto Oy, Saab, Telia, Social Insurance Agency, City Gross, the Swedish Police, the Swedish Public Employment Service and the City of Helsinki, meaning a large share of companies that conduct tax-financed operations. Of total rental income, tax-financed rent represented 26 percent.
The CPI in October 2022 was 384.04, representing an increase of 10.9 percent compared with October 2021. The corresponding figure in Finland is called the Cost-of-living Index (CLI) and this index had increased 8.3 percent in October 2022 compared with October 2021. Upward indexation of existing leases as per January 1, 2023 resulted in MSEK 228 in annual rental income for the Group and will have an effect on rental income from January 1, 2023.
60 green appendices were signed during the year when new leases were signed or leases were renegotiated. The aim of these green appendices is to identify and follow up on various initiatives to reduce energy consumption in premises, such as more efficient heating and lighting.
It was another successful year for leasing based on the company's extensive footprint in the country and a creative approach to potential development. Net leasing totaled MSEK +5 for 2022. A number of leases were made possible by converting the use of premises, for example, from former bank offices to dedicated offices and from retail space to schools. Net leasing comprises the annual rental value of new leases of MSEK 139, less annual rental value in terminated leases of MSEK 132 and confirmed bankruptcies among tenants of MSEK 2. Leasing operations in the fourth quarter resulted in a net leasing of MSEK –4. New leases were signed for a total of MSEK 35, while terminations amounted to MSEK 39. Confirmed bankruptcies among tenants amounted to MSEK 0. Of total net leasing of MSEK –4, MSEK +3 was attributable to the Swedish portfolio and MSEK –7 to the Finnish portfolio. The vacant space in Finland that led to negative net leasing in the fourth quarter has been leased again after the end of the year.

The yield requirements of the valuations increased during the year as an effect of macroeconomic developments. The negative valuation effect caused by the higher yield requirements is largely offset by the improved future net operating income due to new leases, renegotiations and rent indexation.
The weighted yield requirements for externally valued properties on December 31, 2022 was 6.39 percent (5.83), and the weighted cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows and residual values was a nominal 8.45 percent (7.55) and 8.66 percent (7.86), respectively.
Changes in values of properties amounted to MSEK –439 (1,652).
The value of the properties has been assessed based on a market-adapted cash-flow estimate in which, by simulating the calculated future income and expenses, an analysis has been made of the market's expectations with respect to the subject property.
The yield requirement used in the estimate derives from sales of comparable properties. For additional information on valuation techniques, refer to Note 13 of Nyfosa AB's 2021 Annual Report on www.nyfosa.se.
The company engages external, independent appraisers every quarter to quality assure the fair value measurement of the company's properties. All properties are valued every quarter, except for those properties for which possession was taken during the current quarter or properties for which a sales agreement exists. In these cases, the agreed property value is used.
The value of property acquisitions for the year amounted to SEK 4.4 billion on the balance-sheet date.
Several closings were completed in the Finnish market in the middle of the year, including two major portfolios. The largest portfolio comprises properties located in several municipalities in Finland, with a focus on the Helsinki region, Turku and Jyväskylä. The acquisition price amounted to a corresponding SEK 2.1 billion and the portfolio includes offices, retail, schools and healthcare with a diversified tenant base. The tenants include Delta Auto, Senate Properties, Kesko, Tokmanni, and the City of Helsinki. The occupancy rate is 87 percent, the rental value is MSEK 311 and the remaining lease term is 4.7 years. The second portfolio comprises properties in the Helsinki region, Tampere and several large cities across Finland. The acquisition price amounted to a corresponding SEK 1.4 billion and the portfolio primarily comprises light industry and warehouse properties, as well as some big-box retail and offices. Among the larger tenants are several well-known companies such as Rusta, Motonet, Jysk, Senate Properties and Kesko. The occupancy rate is 91.5 percent, the rental value is MSEK 150 and the remaining lease term is 3.5 years.
Closing took place in August for eight properties for warehouse and light industry purposes in Kalmar. The acquisition price amounted to MSEK 320. The occupancy rate is 99.5 percent and the total average remaining lease term is 2.3 years. The largest tenants are Prestando Kalmar, Halltorp Rördelar and Kalmar Municipality. The total annual rental value amounts to approximately MSEK 26.
Closing also took place for two properties in Halmstad in September. Region Halland is the largest tenant. The acquired properties have a total area of approximately 11 thousand sqm, comprising warehouses and industry in established industrial areas in Halmstad.
Closing on a small portfolio of warehouse and logistics properties in Turku took place at the end of the year.

1) Refers to the appraisers' estimated net operating income in the valuation.
A number of divestments were made during the year, partly to streamline the portfolio and partly to realize the increase in value that has been built up over time.
In the first quarter, two properties in Eskilstuna containing residential properties and commercial premises were divested, alongside a logistics property in Örebro that was part of a larger portfolio for which closing took place in 2021.
In June, a portfolio of 13 industrial, warehouse, office and retail properties situated in a number of municipalities in Småland and Östergötland was divested for a selling price of MSEK 947. The portfolio had an annual rental value of MSEK 76 and a occupancy rate of 93 percent.
The Skogskarlen 3 office property in Solna was divested at a selling price of MSEK 400 in September. The property had an annual rental value of MSEK 20 and a occupancy rate of 44 percent.
In October, a property in the center of Valsta, Märsta, was divested at a selling price of MSEK 101. The property had an annual rental value of MSEK 12 and a occupancy rate of 99 percent.
Investments of MSEK 577 were made in the existing property portfolio. The majority of investments were for tenant-specific modifications.
The largest ongoing investments are presented in the table below. A major expansion and renovation project is underway at the Vasarakatu 27 property in Jyväskylä, for which a 15-year lease was signed with Spesia, which conducts education and
training. The premises in Mården 11 in Luleå are undergoing a complete renovation and modification for the Municipality of Luleå, which signed a ten-year lease with occupancy scheduled for 2023. The premises in Norr 12:5 in Gävle are being renovated and modified for the existing tenant the Social Insurance Agency. During the fourth quarter, the expansion and modification of space started at Realgymnasiet school in Norr 25:5 in Gävle, for which a new ten-year lease has been signed. Several projects were completed during the year. These include modifications to about 2 thousand sqm at Snickaren 12 in Växjö for DHL, for which a new five-year lease was signed. In the third quarter, construction of a new McDonald's restaurant was completed at the Filtret 6 property in Borås, with a 20-year lease signed with Food Folk Sverige AB.
The process of environmentally certifying buildings is continuing, with the primary aim of preparing solid data for deciding on any investment in energy-optimization measures. Six buildings in the existing portfolio secured sustainability certification in the quarter. Properties with sustainability certification had a total value of SEK 11.8 billion on the balance-sheet date, corresponding to 29 percent of the total property value.
Specific measures to enhance the cost efficiency of the operation of the premises include analyses to identify investments in energy optimization. Lower energy consumption reduces carbon emissions and also leads to lower operating expenses. A green appendix is offered for when major new leases are signed or leases are renegotiated, the aim of which is to identify and follow up on various initiatives to reduce energy consumption in premises, such as more efficient heating and lighting.

This condensed year-end report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting, as well as the applicable regulations of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The year-end report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 Interim Reports of the Annual Accounts Act. The accounting policies and calculation methods were unchanged compared with 2021 Annual Report, except for the following changes to the presentation format of the statement of profit/loss. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are provided not only in the financial statements and the accompanying notes but also elsewhere in this year-end report.
All amounts in the report are stated in millions of SEK ("MSEK") unless otherwise stated. There may be rounding errors in tables that have combined sums from already rounded amounts. Amounts in parentheses refer to the same period in the preceding financial year. Key figures regarding an earnings or cash flow measure, stated per share, are calculated on a weighted average number of shares during the period referred to. Key figures based on an amount in the statement of financial position, stated per share, are calculated on the number of shares on the balance-sheet date. "Rolling 12 months" mean the most recent 12-month period from the balance-sheet date.
From October 1, 2022, income is divided into Rental income and Service income in accordance with IFRS 15. This entails a change compared with the previous classification of income into Rental income and Other property income. The change means that rent guarantees, credit losses on rent receivables and accounts receivable and other rental fees are now recognized as Rental income instead of Other property income. It means that insurance payments, damages received and government grants are now recognized as Other operating income instead of Other property income Service income was previously recognized under rental income, but was presented as disclosures in the notes of the Annual Report. Comparison figures have been adjusted. The change did not have any earnings effect or other material impact on key figures, etc. For definitions of rental income and service income, refer to Definitions on page 32.
From October 1, 2022, the former earnings measure Profit from property management was renamed Profit after financial income and expenses. At the same time, the former earnings measure Profit from property management excluding changes in value and tax in joint ventures was renamed Profit from property management. This change provides better comparability with other listed Swedish property companies with significant holdings of participations in joint ventures.
The preparation of the interim report requires that company management make judgments and estimates, and make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses recognized. The actual outcome may deviate from these judgments and estimates.
For significant assumptions and assessments affecting the measurement of Nyfosa's investment properties, refer to Note 13 of the 2021 Annual Report on www.nyfosa.se. Nyfosa's property portfolio is recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value, Level 3 according to IFRS 13, and the changes in value are recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is based on internal valuations that are performed continuously and all properties are also valued every quarter by an external independent appraiser. The value of the properties is affected not only by supply and demand in the market but also by a number of other factors, in part property-specific factors such as the occupancy rate, rent level and operating expenses, and in part such market-specific factors as the yield requirement and the cost of capital, which are derived from comparable transactions in the property market. Deterioration in either a property or the market could cause the value of the properties to decline, which could have a negative impact on Nyfosa's operations, financial position and earnings.
Valuations require assessments of and assumptions about future cash flows and determination of the discount factor (yield requirement). An uncertainty interval of +/- 5–10 percent is usually applied to property valuations to reflect the uncertainty of assumptions and assessments made.
The regulatory framework governing taxation of the type of business operated by Nyfosa is complex and comprehensive in terms of both income tax and VAT/property taxation. Moreover, interpretation and application of these regulations by courts of law can change over time. Changes in these regulations, or in their interpretation by judicial bodies, could impact Nyfosa's earnings and position either positively or negatively. From time to time, Nyfosa has cases under review by, and ongoing dialog with, the Swedish Tax Agency regarding individual taxation matters. The Tax Agency makes tax rulings that can be appealed and reviewed in administrative courts of appeal. The regulations governing the recognition of taxes, and the property sector's application of these accounting regulations, are also complex. The regulatory framework is complex, the Tax Agency's review possibilities are comprehensive and the judicial bodies' interpretation and reviews take place in many stages, which means that it can take a long time to establish the correct application of legislation in complex taxation matters. This may entail that actions taken or completed transactions that were previously considered permissible according to the regulatory framework may need to be reappraised at a later juncture. Nyfosa monitors the taxation laws and practices that are in effect whenever it files tax returns. Nyfosa's assessments and calculations in the tax area, and the accounting of these matters, are reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
Nyfosa's corporate acquisitions in 2022 encompass only properties and no material processes, which is why the transactions are deemed to be asset purchases.
Nyfosa's financial target is to create annual growth in distributable cash flow per share of 10 percent over time. Growth is created in part through the transaction operations and property acquisitions, and in part by the property management operations through leasing and investments in the existing property portfolio. Changed conditions in the market, such as significantly more costly financing, tenant bankruptcies or more expensive modifications impact the company's ability to achieve its financial growth target.
The flexible and opportunistic business model means that the operations can rapidly adapt to new conditions. Close relationships with banks that inspire confidence in the company, thus allowing for rapid changes to new conditions. A diverse lease structure with no exposure to a small number of types of operations or tenants. Investments in the existing property portfolio primarily refer to tenant-specific modifications as stipulated in signed leases.
The property portfolio's total value is the largest asset item in the statement of financial position. Small changes in components that affect the value of an individual property can in total have a major impact on the company's financial position.
The value is affected not only by supply and demand in the market, but by several other factors that are both property specific and market specific. Because the value is based on several components with an element of assumption regarding future rent levels and leasing potential, there is a degree of subjectivity in the value ascribed to the object.
The chosen strategy entails owning a large number of properties that are geographically diverse, thereby resulting in a balanced risk profile.
The prioritized property category is commercial properties in high-growth municipalities where there is an increase in migration and well-functioning business.
To minimize the risk of errors in the value of the property portfolio, the company engages external appraisers to value all properties ahead of each quarterly closing. The valuation assignment is shared by at least two appraisers.
Interest-rate risk means the risk that changes in interest rates result in such high interest expenses that the company breaches its financial risk limitation of the interest-coverage ratio being at least a multiple of 2.0.
Nyfosa mainly has floating interest rates in its loan agreements. Exposure to increases in interest rates is managed by making use of derivative instruments, currently both interest-rate caps and swaps. Interest-rate caps and swaps are entered into to adapt the company's fixed-rate periods to the decided finance policy and existing loan agreements.
The remaining term of signed derivative agreements was 2.2 years on the balance-sheet date. Interest-rate caps offer the holder security in the form of a maximum impact on total interest expenses if STIBOR 3M and EURIBOR 6M rise. However, rising interest rates that do not reach the interest-rate cap will have full impact on earnings. The interest-rate cap is 1.5–2.0 percent, and an average of 1.56 percent. Interest-rate swaps of a nominal MSEK 1,120 were signed in the Finnish debt portfolio. Under these derivatives, Nyfosa pays a fixed annual rate of 1.57 percent.
Nyfosa's operations comprise one operating segment, that is to say, Nyfosa's operations comprise a business that generates income and expenses and whose operating profit is regularly assessed by the company's chief operating decision maker as a basis for monitoring earnings and allocating resources.
The Group's effective tax rate for the interim period was 8.9 percent (14.6). The deviation from the nominal tax rate of 20.6 percent was due to the profit from participations in joint ventures comprising profit after tax, and thus did not constitute taxable income for Nyfosa, but was also due to any non-taxable capital gains on the divestment of properties via companies, and valuations of loss carryforwards.
Deferred tax is to include temporary differences on all assets and liabilities, except for temporary differences on properties on the closing date since the acquisition is an asset acquisition. There is a total temporary difference of MSEK 14,765 in the Group that is not included.

Nyfosa currently has three long-term incentive programs based on warrants. A description of the warrants programs is provided in Note 8 on page 102 of the 2021 Annual Report and in the report from the 2022 Annual General Meeting, see https://nyfosa.se/en/report-from-nyfosa-abs-annual-general-meeting-on-april-19-2022/. The number of warrants outstanding at the end of the year is presented in the table below.
During the third quarter, the Board offered to repurchase all outstanding warrants on the 2019/2023 warrants program for market-based cash consideration of SEK 13.96 per option. Holders who decide not to accept the offer will remain in the program with no changes to the terms and conditions.
The repurchase is for 1,064,300 warrants and total proceeds of MSEK 14 were generated, which were paid in October 2022.
The dilution from the existing warrants program amounted to 0.1 percent for the period.

Nyfosa has invested in properties in the Finnish and Norwegian markets. Balance-sheet items in other currencies are translated to SEK and gave rise to a translation difference of MSEK 269 (9) on the balance-sheet date, which is recognized in Other comprehensive income.
Exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is managed by financing acquisitions of assets in foreign currency raising borrowings in the same currency. Net assets in foreign currency amounted to MEUR 336 and the share of equity in joint ventures including receivables from joint ventures to MNOK 155 on December 31, 2022.

Nyfosa measures its financial instruments at fair value or amortized cost in the statement of financial position, depending on the classification of the instrument. Financial instruments encompass rent receivables, which are recognized under current receivables in the statement of financial position, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents among assets, interest-bearing liabilities and accounts payable, which are recognized under other current liabilities in the statement of financial position. All derivatives are classified in Level 2 according to IFRS 13 and are measured at their fair value in the statement of financial position. Nyfosa has binding framework agreements for derivative trading (ISDAs), which enable Nyfosa to offset financial liabilities against financial assets in the event of the insolvency of a counterparty of other event, a process known as netting. No netting currently takes place.
The table below presents the fair value of the Group's derivatives, which is reflected in the statement of financial position. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other liabilities provides a reasonable approximation of the fair value.

Nyfosa has hybrid bonds outstanding of a total of MSEK 763 under a framework of MSEK 2,000. Hybrid bonds of MSEK 37 were repurchased during the year. The hybrid bonds are perpetual and Nyfosa governs the payment of interest and the principal of the instruments, which is why they are classified as equity instruments under IAS 32. Issue costs and tax attributable to issue costs and interest to the hybrid bond holders are recognized directly in equity. The bonds have a floating interest rate of 3M STIBOR + 475 basis points per annum until the first call date of November 18, 2025.
During the year, an agreement was signed to divest a portfolio of 13 properties to the company Emilshus. Since the Chairman of Nyfosa's Board is also the Chairman of Emilshus, he did not participate in the decision regarding this transaction.
The Group owns participations in joint ventures, refer to relevant section of this interim report. Söderport is managed by AB Sagax, except for property management which is managed by Nyfosa. Samfosa is managed by its own organization and some personnel from the part-owner Samfunnsbyggeren AS.
