As we all know, 2022 was a very turbulent year and difficult to assess in every way. In view of the tough conditions, I believe that an increase in the profit from property management of 11% per share to SEK 5.48 (4.95) is good. The net asset value increased by just under 10% per share to SEK 92.10 (83.96).
Despite a turbulent world, operations performed very well for us in 2022. The projects we chose to complete went largely according to plan, and property management delivered in a commendable way.
In the prevailing market conditions, it is particularly important to have a strong balance sheet and good capacity to make interest payments. The Board of Directors has therefore decided, as a complement to our current financial goals, to introduce a goal for our net debt in relation to EBITDA. The goal is that the net debt over time shall be no more than 11 times EBITDA. We will achieve this goal through a combination of reduced net debt and increased income from our existing property portfolio and the completion of projects.
We see 2023 as a year to focus on our existing portfolio and projects but a year where we are likely to see a lower level of activity regarding property transactions. We will of course also keep working on financing, where we will adopt a longer-term approach than usual. Balder's well-diversified portfolio with its low level of risk at the operational level gives us good conditions in which to deliver a stable operating profit, which over time guarantees good financing.
Based on the uncertain times in which we are operating, we choose to present not only current earnings every quarter, but also to provide a forecast for the profit from property management in 2023, as we believe that this may be useful for investors. Our forecast is that the profit from property management in 2023 will be SEK 6,200m, i.e. marginally higher than the profit from property management in 2022.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our stable organisation with just over 1,160 engaged co-responsibles for their amazing efforts during the year!
Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer
"DESPITE A TURBULENT WORLD, OPERATIONS PER-FORMED VERY WELL FOR US IN 2022. THE PROJECTS WE CHOSE TO COMPLETE WENT LARGELY ACCORDING TO PLAN, AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DELIVERED IN A COMMENDABLE WAY."

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

In the current earning capacity as of 31 December 2022, the following exchange rates were used to translate foreign subsidiaries' income statement items.
EUR: 11.13 DKK: 1.50 NOK: 1.06 GBP: 12.58
Profit from property management for the year amounted to SEK 6,659m (6,129), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK 111m (–61). Profit from property management attributable to parent company shareholders amounted to SEK 6,139m (5,543), corresponding to an increase per share of 11% to SEK 5.48 (4.95). Profit from property management includes SEK 1,929m (1,327) in respect of associated companies.
Profit after tax for the year amounted to 10,989m (19,584). Profit after tax attributable to parent company shareholders amounted to SEK 10,175m (18,508), corresponding to SEK 9.09 per share (16.54). Profit before tax was affected by unrealised changes in value in respect of investment properties of SEK 5,419m (12,990), realised changes in value in respect of investment properties of SEK 111m (121), profit from sales of development properties of SEK 110m (225), changes in value in interest rate derivatives of SEK 1,617m (511) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 1,002m (3,521).
Rental income increased by 17% to SEK 10,521m (8,956), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK 258m (–136). This increase is due primarily to acquisitions and completed projects for own management.
The leasing portfolio´s rental value as of 31 December amounted to SEK 12,057m (10,141). The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 2,060/sq.m. (1,836) excluding project properties.
Rental income in a comparable portfolio increased by 3.9% (1.0) after adjustment for changes in exchange rates.
Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risk with regard to tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate as of 31 December was 96% (96). The total rental value of unlet areas at the end of the year amounted to SEK 458m (431).
Property costs for the year amounted to SEK –2,725m (–2,212), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –67m (39).
Net operating income increased by 16% to SEK 7,796m (6,744), which implies a surplus ratio of 74% (75). The surplus ratio was affected during the year by increased costs of electricity and heating, as well as increased property tax costs following new decisions on taxation.
Operating costs normally vary with the seasons. The first and fourth quarters have higher costs than the other quarters, while the third quarter usually has the lowest cost level.
Management and administrative costs for the year amounted to SEK –1,019m (–817), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –31m (16).
Balder owns property managing and project developing associated companies, see note 14 in the Annual Report for 2021.
Profit from participations in associated companies during the year amounted to SEK 1,002m (3,521) and Balder's participation in the associated companies' profit from property management amounted to SEK 1,929m (1,327).
Profit before tax was impacted by SEK –433m (3,110) as a result of unrealised changes in value in respect of the properties and interest rate derivatives. The tax expense for the year amounted to SEK –495m (–916).
The profit from participations in associated companies/joint ventures was affected during the year by the write-down performed by Entra ASA of its real estate portfolio. Balder's part of Entra's net asset value (EPRA NRV) indicates no need for a write-down.
Net financial items amounted to SEK –2,031m (–1,067), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –48m (20). Net financial items were affected during the year by repurchases of bonds and by changes in the value of financial investments, which had a net positive effect of SEK 69m (582).
Changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 1,617m (511). The positive change in value of derivatives during the year is due to the fact that long-term interest rates increased during the year. Unrealised changes in value do not affect cash flow. The average interest rate for net financial items on the closing date was 2.1% (1.4).

As part of its work to adapt liquidity planning to current market conditions, Balder has continued to pre-finance future maturities. As of year-end, the available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments was SEK 25,771m (12,662), corresponding to 92% of Balder's future maturities of interest-bearing liabilities within 18 months and 80% within 24 months.
In November, Standard & Poors confirmed its credit rating for Balder (BBB), but revised the outlook to negative reflecting increased uncertainty in the financial market.
The company has long been successful in building a real estate business with a size and diversification that are very suitable for both bond financing and secured bank loans. Having a balance sheet that satisfies the criteria for an investment grade rating and continuous access to bond financing is not simply a matter of financing strategy, it is also very much in line with the risk profile that the Board of Directors is in general striving to achieve for the company. One example of this is the decision by Balder's Board of Directors to introduce an additional financial goal regarding Net debt/EBITDA ahead of 2023. The key ratio shall be no more than 11.0 times over a period of time.
Balder conducted an individual internal valuation of the entire real estate portfolio as of 31 December, see also page 9. Unrealised changes in value during the year amounted to SEK 5,419m (12,990). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 111m (121). The average yield requirement amounted as of 31 December to 4.6% (4.4), which is 0.2 percentage points higher compared to the previous year-end. The change in value during the year is attributable to improved net operating income and completed projects.
The profit from the sales of development properties is recognised in connection with the buyer taking possession of the property. In addition to the cost, selling and marketing expenses are also included, which are recognised as expenses on an ongoing basis. These amounted to SEK –20m (–20) during the year.
Six projects were recognised as income during the year. The sales result for the year amounted to SEK 110m (225) after the deduction of selling and marketing expenses, and includes the sale of the development projects Aagards Plass Sandefjord in Norway, Bovieran Solrød ApS, Bovieran Helsingør ApS and Frederikssund Raekkehuse ApS in Denmark, and Brf Bergsjö Glänta and Brf Bergsfallet i Jättesten in Sweden.
The Group's total tax amounted to SEK –1,999m (–3,196), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –57m (37). The current tax expense for the year amounted to SEK –613m (–339), relating primarily to the property sales in SATO Oyj. The current tax expense attributable to parent company shareholders amounted to SEK –421m (–233).
The deferred tax expense for the year amounted to SEK –1,386m (–2,857). Tax has been calculated using the current tax rate in each country. The Group's deferred tax liability has been calculated as the value of the net of fiscal deficits and the temporary difference between the carrying amounts and values for tax purposes primarily of properties and interest rate derivatives. The deferred tax liability amounted to SEK 17,769m (15,642).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 4,442m (3,899). Investing activities burdened cash flow by a net figure of SEK –12,915m (–29,879). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 10,497m net (25,117).
Total cash flow for the year was SEK 2,632m (–3,235). The exchange rate difference in cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 46m (67).
In addition to unutilised credit facilities of SEK 18,808m (8,079), the Group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 6,963m (4,543) as of 31 December. Available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments thus amounted to SEK 25,771m (12,622).
Profit from property management for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 7% and amounted to SEK 1,629m (1,753), the decrease is due to declining net financial items. Profit from property management attributable to parent company shareholders for the fourth quarter 2022 decreased by 5% and amounted to SEK 1,537m (1,619), corresponding to SEK 1.37 per share (1.45). Profit from property management included SEK 477m (394) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 2,805m (2,421) and property costs amounted to SEK –740m (–623), which meant that net operating income increased by 15% to SEK 2,065m (1,798), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK 64m (–23). The surplus ratio amounted to 74% (74).
Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 712m (7,681). Profit after tax attributable to parent company shareholders amounted to SEK 846m (7,388) corresponding to SEK 0.76 per share (6.60). The result was affected by unrealised changes in value in respect of investment properties of SEK –795m (5,555), realised changes in value in respect of investment properties of SEK 53m (11), profit from sales of development properties of SEK 40m (9), changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives of SEK 283m (96) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 128m (1,424).
Net financial items amounted to SEK –649m (–208). Net financial items were affected during the period by changes in value in respect of financial investments, which had a net negative effect of SEK –23m (238). The Group's total tax amounted to SEK –150m (–1,385). The current tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –127m (–106). The deferred tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –24m (–1,279). The deferred tax expense was affected by negative exchange rate differences that arose from the translation of the parent company's euro bonds during the quarter. In the Group, these are used for hedging foreign net investments and are transferred to Other comprehensive income.
On 31 December the Group had 1,161 co-responsibles (1,040), of whom 493 were female (439). Balder is organised into seven regions. The head office with Group-wide functions is located in Gothenburg.
The parent company's operations consist primarily of performing Groupwide services, but an important part relates to sales of services, principally to associated companies. Net sales in the parent company amounted to SEK 491m (414) during the year.
Net profit after tax for the year amounted to 8,466m (1,651). Profit from participations in subsidiaries/associated companies was included at SEK 6,825m (3), other net financial items amounted to SEK –2,291m (968), of which exchange rate difference amounted to SEK –2,851m (–739), changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 1,507m (446) and Group contributions received/paid amounted to SEK 2,708m (300).
Reported exchange rate differences relate primarily to the translation of the Group's euro bonds, which from a Group perspective are used for hedging foreign net investments.
The Board of Directors intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting that no share dividend shall be declared (–).
The Annual Report for 2022 will be available on Balder's website, www.balder.se, as of calendar week 14, 2023.
Fastighets AB Balder's Annual General Meeting will be held on 11 May at 16:00 (CET), at Filmstaden Bergakungen, Skånegatan 16B in Gothenburg.
As a long-term real estate owner, Balder strives to assume social, environmental and financial responsibility. This includes not only minimising the environmental impact of its operations, but also maximising the positive impact on society, both locally and globally.
Balder has signed the Global Compact, the UN's set of international principles aimed at companies in the area of human rights, labour law matters, the environment and anti-corruption.
Balder strives to contribute to achieving the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals and has selected six of the 17 goals that are considered most relevant and where the company has the greatest opportunity to have an influence. To link these more closely to the business operations, the associated targets have also been identified in those areas where the company has the greatest opportunity to contribute to the goals being achieved.

Balder has set climate goals in line with the Paris Agreement, and shall halve emissions in its own operations by 2030, with 2022 as the base year, as well as to measure and reduce emissions in the value chain (Scope 3). The company has also set a goal to achieve net zero emissions throughout the value chain (Scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2045. 2030

TOTAL REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO, %
CARRYING AMOUNT DISTRIBUTED BY PROPERTY CATEGORY,

Balder's investment properties are reported on the basis of internal valuations. Properties in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany and the UK are valued using the yield method.
In Finland, the acquisition cost method is used in addition to the yield method. Some properties in the East region are valued using the sales comparison method.
Properties under construction and project properties for own management are valued at market value reduced by estimated building expenditure and project risk.
Balder has increased the yield requirement in the valuations of the investment properties in the fourth quarter; as of 31 December, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 4.6% (4.4) excluding project properties for own management, which is 0.2 percentage points higher than at the end of the previous year. The average yield requirement for residential properties amounted to 4.1% and for commercial properties 5.2%. The increased estimated yield requirement is explained by the uncertain market situation and rising market interest rates. The reduction in value has, however, been mitigated by an increased operating surplus driven by an increase in the index for commercial premises and increased residential rents.
In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder arranges for parts of the portfolio to be valued externally on an ongoing basis and obtains second opinions1) on internal valuations. During the year, external valuations and second opinions were obtained for 64% of the real estate portfolio (excluding projects); approximately 90% of these were carried
out during the fourth quarter. External valuations were obtained for 38% and second opinions for 26% of the real estate portfolio (excluding projects). Deviations between external and internal valuations were insignificant.
The overall carrying amount of Balder's investment properties amounted to SEK 213,932m (189,138) on 31 December. The unrealised change in value during the year amounted to SEK 5,419m (12,990).
Of the unrealised change in value, the majority relates to agreed and completed divestments, as well as the valuation of project properties for own management. Remaining changes in value relate to the increase in net operating income.
During the year, a total of SEK 14,171m (26,742) was invested in respect of investment properties, of which SEK 5,160m (20,637) related to acquisitions and SEK 9,011m (6,105) related to investments in existing properties and projects for own management. Investment properties as well as condominiums and land were divested during the year with a sales value of SEK 2,913m (1,551). Realised changes in value from the divestments amounted to SEK 111m (121). The divestments relate primarily to Balder's subsidiary SATO Oyj, which divested approximately 2,000 apartments located in six different towns and cities in Finland. The divestment is a result of the strategy to concentrate the real estate portfolio on Helsinki, Tampere and Turku.

PROJEKT HALLONBERGEN, SUNDBYBERG
Within the framework of property development, both new production and conversion projects of residentials and commercial spaces are carried out. Investments are made primarily in areas where the company already operates, with a focus on the metropolitan regions of Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsinki and Copenhagen. The building rights portfolio mainly includes building rights for the construction of both rental apartments and tenant-owner apartments, but also commercial properties.
The increased costs to which inflation has contributed have resulted in Balder significantly cutting back on its investments, with project launches being put on hold until they are profitable once more. Those projects that are in the construction phase are being carried out mostly at fixed contract prices.
Projects for own management under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 11.3 billion (10.8), of which SEK 8.3 billion (6.2) is invested and SEK 3.0 billion (4.6) remains to be invested. Most of the ongoing projects relate to residential projects with condominiums for rental use. The projects comprise around 4,100 apartments (4,150) and relate primarily to around 1,160 apartments in Helsinki, around 870 apartments in Copenhagen and around 800 apartments in Gothenburg.
A development property is a property that is owned for upgrading with a view to being divested. These properties are recognised at cost on an ongoing basis, and a profit/loss is recognised when each property is completed, sold and handed over to the buyer.
Development projects under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 3.0 billion (3.8), of which SEK 1.9 billion (1.4) has been spent and SEK 1.1 billion (2.4) remains to be invested. All of the projects relate to residential projects that will be sold to end customers. The projects involve 700 apartments (950) and relate primarily to around 470 tenant-owner apartments in Gothenburg and around 230 tenant-owner apartments in Stockholm.
In the fourth quarter, sales results from three (1) development projects Aagards Plass Sandefjord in Norway, Bovieran Solrød in Denmark and Brf Bergsjö Glänta in Sweden was reported. The acquisition cost for the project amounted to SEK –528m (–204) and the profit from the sales amounted to SEK 45m (15), excluding the marketing and sales costs of SEK –5m (–5) relating to all development properties in the second quarter.
The cost of all projects divested during the year amounted to SEK –1,027m (–1,442) and the profit from the sales amounted to SEK 130m (245), excluding marketing and sales costs for the year of SEK –20m (–20) in respect of all development properties.

The majority of future projects in the above table have a development plan that has gained legal force or is in progress.

In order to limit the risk of lower rental income and consequently a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships with the company's existing customers.
Balder has a good diversification as regards the distribution between residential properties and commercial properties as well as the geographical distribution. The diversification strengthens the possibilities of maintaining a stable and satisfactory occupancy rate.
Balder's commercial leases have an average lease term of 6.2 years (6.4). Balder's 10 largest leases account for 3.5% (3.9) of total rental income, and their average lease term amounts to 10.1 years (10.7). Balder's single largest customer accounts for 3.4% (3.5) of total rental income.

MATURITY STRUCTURE OF COMMERCIAL LEASE CONTRACTS

Balder has assets in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany and the UK, which means that the Group is exposed to currency risks. Balder therefore has a diversified financing structure with bonds and bank financing in several different currencies. Balder values long-term relationships with its credit providers, which primarily comprise the major Nordic banks and capital market investors. The single largest financing source is bonds issued in euros in the European bond market under Balder's EMTN programme, followed by bank loans in various currencies, a domestic MTN programme, as well as a commercial paper programme in euros and Swedish kronor. In addition to these financing sources, Balder also has issued hybrid capital, which has an original maturity of 60 years and is considered as 50% equity by the credit rating agencies. With approximately 70% of the loans being hedged, interest rate changes have a limited impact on the cost of borrowing.
Balder may from time to time seek to terminate or repurchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts subject to such repurchases may be material. This occurred during the year, as Balder repurchased EUR 85m (10%) of the hybrid capital and just over SEK 3.5 billion of bonds maturing in 2023. As of the end of
the year, outstanding commercial papers and bonds amounted to SEK 78 billion in total, a reduction of SEK 3 billion compared to the previous quarter. Since the end of the year, two bonds with a total value of SEK 87 7m have been repaid and the hybrid of EUR 320m with a first call date in March 2023 has been called, as previously reported.
The continued concern in the financial markets has led to a shift from the bond market to banking. During the fourth quarter, Balder entered five new term loans to a value of just over SEK 6.1 billion, while two existing revolving facilities were converted into term loans to a value of SEK 3.8 billion. Finally, a revolving credit facility was increased by SEK 1 billion in connection with it being extended. As of year-end, the available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments was SEK 25,771m (12,662), corresponding to 92% of Balder's future maturities of interestbearing liabilities within 18 months and 80% within 24 months. Balder's interest rate refixing period was 3.5 years at the year-end, and the fixed credit term was 5.7 years.
Balder's Board of Directors has decided to introduce an additional financial goal regarding Net debt/EBITDA ahead of 2023. The key ratio shall be no more than 11.0 times over a period of time.
Balder has obligations to its financiers in the form of financial key ratios, so-called covenants, and all of them were fulfilled as of year-end.

No events of material significance for Fastighets AB Balder's position have occurred after the end of the reporting period.
Balder receives fees from associated companies and Erik Selin Fastigheter AB for property and company management services. These fees amounted to SEK 85m (81) during the year and are reported in management and administrative costs. During the year, construction services were purchased from Tommy Byggare AB to the order of SEK 118m (108). All transactions have been priced on market terms.
Balder's operations, financial position and earnings may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties.
The recent time has been significantly affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In combination with the continued effects of the pandemic, this entails, among other things, a risk of increased material prices for property development projects, as well as increased energy prices. Higher prices or shortages of materials may mean increased costs for both projects in progress and ongoing operation of the properties.
The current situation also has an impact on inflation, which has risen sharply in recent times. This has resulted in rising interest rates and higher financing costs. Balder has a diversified financing structure and a diversified real estate portfolio, which brings increased risk diversification.
Balder monitors developments and continuously adapts its operation based on changing conditions.
Other risks identified are described in the Annual Report 2021, on pages 42–45.
Balder applies IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union in its consolidated accounts and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This year-end report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In addition, relevant provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Markets Act have also been applied. The parent company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, the Securities Markets Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies follow those reported in the Annual Report 2021.
New and changed standards and policies that came into force as of 1 January 2022 or later are not considered to have any material impact on the Group's financial reports
Ahead of the annual general meeting on 11 May 2023, the Board of Directors intends to propose the meeting to decide:
This year-end report has not been subject to an examination by the company's auditors.
