COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Despite turbulence in the market, which I believe we will be living with for some time, I feel confident in Nyfosa – with our assets, our tenants and our cash flows. Rising interest rates and electricity prices are negatively affecting us but we have healthy margins. Cash flow has always been a focal point for us and at the current time this seems more important than ever.

Net operating income is increasing steadily and broke records in the third quarter. Profit from property management, excluding changes in value and tax in joint ventures, increased compared with last year. We continue to have positive net leasing for the 14th consecutive quarter.

We carried out acquisitions for approximately MSEK 750 during and after the quarter. An industrial portfolio in Kalmar, offices in central Västervik and warehouse/industry in Halmstad and Turku – properties with solid

cash flows and prime locations for their purposes. At the same time, we divested a large office property in Solna to the Swedish Fortifications Agency for MSEK 400. All in all, these transactions contribute to stronger cash flow per share.

Stable valuations

There is a great focus in the market on valuations, primarily related to higher financial costs. We value all of our properties externally every quarter and have precise and systematic processes for this. We report a marginally negative change in value of –0.4 percent as a result of higher yield requirement, but our stronger net operating income and projects in properties counterbalance this. The yield requirement in the valuations has increased by 0.25 of a percentage point.

Financing and capital structure

The vast majority of Nyfosa's financing is bank loans, 93 percent, and the remainder is bonds. Part of the loan portfolio were refinanced in the second quarter, which means

that the next bond maturity is MSEK 1,100 in April 2024. I believe that the banking market is working well. 42 percent of our loans are interest-rate-hedged and the average hedge term is 2.4 years. Since we primarily hedge our interest rates using interest-rate

"Constantly evaluate and act."

caps that average 1.56 percent today, this means that most of the interest-rate rises have impacted Nyfosa's net operating income. The interest-rate cap has now been reached and therefore any future increases in interest rates will not be charged to Nyfosa's net operating

income as regards the part of the loan portfolio that is hedged.

Higher interest expenses and electricity costs mean that our earnings capacity declined compared with the preceding quarter. From 1 January 2023, inflation will have a positive impact on our earnings capacity due to indexation of rental income. If the consumer price index ends up at 9 percent, it will mean an increase of about MSEK 200 in earnings capacity.

Nyfosa is a young, hungry company and we are only at the start of our journey. We have a long-term plan to leverage our opportunistic approach to create the most sustainable and growing cash flow per share, and that must be allowed to take the time it needs. The markets will rise and fall. No matter what the market trend, we will always evaluate what is best for our shareholders. Constantly evaluate and act. The work continues.

Stina Lindh Hök, CEO

COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF PROFIT/LOSS

JULY–SEPTEMBER 2022 QUARTER

Closing took place during the quarter 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 25.7.

Rental income and net operating income

Leasing operations resulted in net leasing of MSEK +2. New leases were signed for a total of MSEK 30, while terminations amounted to MSEK 27. Confirmed bankruptcies among tenants amounted to MSEK 1.

Rent losses amounted to MSEK 2, corresponding to about 0.3 percent of total income, which is a normal level for the company. Rent receivables for rents invoiced were settled in accordance with the contractual terms, except for a small number of invoices, which is not different from normal.

Total income amounted to MSEK 799 (634), up MSEK 165 or 26 percent. The larger portfolio was the main reason for the growth.

Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 148 (84), an increase of MSEK 64 corresponding to 76 percent. The increase is partly due to a larger portfolio and partly higher price levels, even though energy optimization measures limited the increase in costs through reduced energy use. About 60 percent of total costs for electricity, water and heating are charged to the tenants.

Net operating income for the quarter amounted to MSEK 544 (450) and the surplus ratio was 68.1 percent (71.1). The Finnish portfolio includes the net operating income from services offered to the tenants in Jyväskylä. The surplus ratio for these services is significantly lower, but makes a positive contribution to maintaining a high standard for the tenants in the centrally located buildings.

Profit from property management

Costs for central administration amounted to MSEK 35 (27). The higher costs were due to the significantly larger property management portfolio in Finland.

Profit from participations in joint ventures of MSEK 53 (105) comprised Nyfosa's share of Söderport's and Samfosa's profit after tax. Nyfosa's share of profit from property management in joint ventures amounted to MSEK 66 (63) and changes in values and tax impacted the share in profit by MSEK –12 (5).

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –190 (–115). The increase was due to higher net debt, amounting to MSEK 22,925 (19,510) on the balance-sheet date and the higher market interest rates. As per September 30, 42 percent of the total debt portfolio was hedged with an interest-rate cap or swap. The average interest-rate cap is 1.56 percent. The interest-coverage ratio was a multiple of 2.7 (3.7). The share of index-linked annual rental income amounts to about 89 percent, meaning that rental income increases in line with inflation. Accordingly, there is a natural hedge in the leases against rising interest expenses.

Profit from property management amounted to MSEK 374 (414). Excluding changes in value and tax in joint ventures, profit from property management amounted to MSEK 386 (371).

Changes in value

The effect of revaluation of properties amounted to MSEK –161 (426). The negative value trend was mainly due to corrected yield requirements from an average of 5.83 percent last quarter to 6.08 percent in the current valuation in the accounts. The value adjustment from the higher yield requirement is partly offset by the improved future net operating income due to new leases, renegotiations and inflation assumptions. In the valuations, the inflation assumptions were 7.0 percent in Sweden and 6.7 percent in Finland. All properties are valued every quarter by an external independent appraiser.

Tax

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to MSEK 103 (139). The effective tax rate was 27.6 percent (16.5). The deviation from the nominal tax rate of 20.6 percent was mainly due to an individual transaction whereby a subsidiary sold a property, which resulted in a significantly higher capital gain in the subsidiary than in the Group.

Earnings per share for the quarter after dilution amounted to SEK 1.34 (3.66). The change was due to negative, unrealized changes in value of the properties.

JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2022 PERIOD

Rental income and net operating income

Income amounted to MSEK 2,304 (1,788), up MSEK 516 or 29 percent. The larger portfolio was the main reason for the growth.

Operating expenses amounted to MSEK 474 (321), an increase of MSEK 153 corresponding to 47 percent. The increase is partly due to a larger portfolio and partly higher price levels, even though energy optimization measures limited the increase in costs through reduced energy use. About 60 percent of total costs for electricity, water and heating are charged to the tenants. Net operating income amounted to MSEK 1,517 (1,205) and the surplus ratio was 65.9 percent (67.4). Net operating income for the period was impacted by higher electricity prices in both Sweden and Finland. The Finnish portfolio includes the net operating income from services offered to the tenants in Jyväskylä. The surplus ratio for these services is significantly lower, but makes a positive contribution to maintaining a high standard for the tenants in the centrally located buildings.

Profit from property management

Costs for central administration amounted to MSEK 114 (94). The higher costs were due to the significantly larger property management portfolio in Finland.

Profit from participations in joint ventures of MSEK 615 (576) comprises Nyfosa's share of Söderport's and Samfosa's profit after tax. Nyfosa's share of profit from property management in joint ventures amounted to MSEK 187 (183) and changes in values and tax impacted the share in profit by MSEK 429 (400).

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –448 (–320). The increase was due to higher net debt, amounting to MSEK 22,925 (19,510) on the balance-sheet date and the higher market interest rates.

Profit from property management amounted to MSEK 1,577 (1,372). Excluding changes in value and tax in joint ventures, profit from property management amounted to MSEK 1,149 (957).

Changes in value

Revaluation of properties amounted to MSEK 1,052 (985) and was mainly impacted by signed new leases and renegotiated leases as well as sales that exceeded carrying amounts. The value trend was also negatively impacted in the third quarter, primarily due to the corrected yield requirement, as a result of macroeconomic developments.

Tax

The tax expense for the period was MSEK 393 (309). The effective tax rate was 13.2 percent (13.1). 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 value of loss carryforwards changing over time. Earnings per share for the period after dilution amounted to SEK 13.27 (10.94).

The company's target is to achieve annual growth in distributable cash flow per share of 10 percent. 0,00

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

The property portfolio is diversified in terms of both geographical diversification and property category. Geographically speaking, most properties are situated in high-growth municipalities and at strategic warehouse/logistics locations in Sweden and regional cities in Finland. The geographic diversity spreads risks favorably, at the same time as the locations outside the central areas of the major cities have stable rent levels.

Offices

The office properties are situated in Swedish high-growth municipalities such as Karlstad, Örnsköldsvik, Sundsvall, Västerås and Växjö as well as Finnish regional cities such as Jyväskylä, Lappeenranta and Tampere. Office properties are of high quality and most are centrally located in each town.

Logistics/Warehouse

The logistics and warehouse premises are situated in towns such as Malmö, Haninge, Karlstad, Borås 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, particularly for e-commerce companies, and can be used very flexibly.

Retail

The retail properties are primarily situated in expansive and popular big-box retail areas in attractive locations close to public communication. These commercial areas are primarily in Värnamo, 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.

Industry

The industrial properties are situated in high-growth regions in locations such as Eskilstuna, Tampere 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 sectors such as light industry, manufacturing, workshops and service.

Other

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, Växjö, Malmö and Helsinki.

In addition to the wholly owned portfolio, Nyfosa owns 50 percent of the property company Söderport in Sweden and Samfosa in Norway, both of which are joint ventures.

LEASE STRUCTURE

The rental value on October 1, 2022 amounted to MSEK 3,427, of which vacancy rent, including discounts, was MSEK 261. The share of index-linked annual rental income amounted to about 89 percent. Nyfosa had 6,563 leases including 2,573 leases for garages and parking spaces. The average lease term was 3.7 years. The lease term in the Finnish portfolio was 3.2 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. 47 green appendices were signed during the period 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.

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 159 leases. Among the largest tenants are the Swedish Transport Agency, 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.

Investments in existing properties, January–September 2022

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 10.6 billion on the balance-sheet date, corresponding to 25 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.

Investments of MSEK 372 were made in the existing property portfolio. The majority of investments were for projects, tenant-specific modifications and improvements related to finalized leases.

YIELD REQUIREMENT FOR VALUATION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

The weighted yield requirement for externally valued properties on September 30, 2022 was 6.08 percent, and the weighted cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows and residual values was a nominal 8.20 percent and 8.42 percent, respectively. Inflation expectations for 2023 were 7 percent in Sweden and 6.7 percent in Finland. When last valued on June 30, 2022, the yield requirement was 5.83 percent, and the weighted cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows and residual values was 7.74 percent and 8.02 percent, respectively.

VALUATION TECHNIQUES

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.

EARNINGS CAPACITY

The company's current earnings capacity on a 12-month basis on October 1, 2022 is presented below. Current earnings capacity is to be considered solely as a hypothetical instantaneous impression and is presented only for illustrative purposes. The aim is to present annualized income and expenses based on the property portfolio, borrowing costs, capital structure and organization at a given point in time. The earnings capacity does not include an assessment of future periods in respect of rents, vacancy rates, property expenses, interest rates, changes in value or other factors impacting earnings, other than the index-linking found in existing leases. The current earnings capacity must be considered together with other information in the interim report.

The following information is used as the basis for assessing current earnings capacity:

  • properties owned on the balance-sheet date, which means that agreed possessions and vacancies thereafter are not taken into account;
  • rental value is based on annual contractual rental income from current leases on 1 October;
  • vacancy amount is an assessed market rent for vacant premises. This amount also includes allocated rent discounts under current leases;
  • property expenses, excluding property tax, are based on average actual outcome for the most recent 24 months, adjusted for the holding period.
  • property tax is based on the current tax assessment value of the properties;
  • costs for property and central administration have been calculated on the basis of the existing organization and the current size of the property portfolio;
  • Nyfosa's shares of profit from property management from joint ventures before changes in value, calculated using the same method as Nyfosa;
  • the assessment of earnings capacity does not assume any financial income; and
  • financial expenses have been calculated on the basis of the company's average interest rate on the balancesheet date, including allocated opening charges, a total of 3.1 percent. The item also includes ground rent.

With the current rate of inflation at about 9 percent and a 1-percentage point increase in interest rates, rental income that comprises part of the earnings capacity will increase by about MSEK 200 and interest expenses will increase by about MSEK 184 with current exchange rates and existing derivative agreements. That is to say a net increase of the current earnings capacity of MSEK 16, corresponding to SEK 0.08 per share. Based on this scenario, earnings per share, all other things being equal, will be approximately SEK 8.00.

FINANCING

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 19,238 on the balance-sheet date, of which hybrid bond loans was MSEK 800.

Interest-bearing loans from the credit and capital markets amounted to MSEK 23,676, including allocated arrangement fees, of which bank loans with properties as collateral represented 93 percent, corresponding to MSEK 22,200, 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 55.2 percent (56.5). 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 3,319. This means that, against collateral in existing properties, Nyfosa can rapidly increase its borrowing at fixed terms to, for example, finance new 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 659 the total amount granted of MSEK 1,155 against collateral in existing properties. To utilize the remaining MSEK 2,163 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.

Fixed-rate periods and exposure to interest-rate changes

Nyfosa mainly works with 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 2.4 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 interestrate cap is 1.5–2.0 percent, and an average of 1.56 percent. Of Nyfosa's total debt volume, MSEK 8,991 has an interest hedge that means that if the rate rises above 1.5 percent, the increase will not have a full impact on earnings. Interest-rate swaps of a nominal MSEK 1,099 were signed in Finland. Under these derivatives, Nyfosa pays a fixed annual rate of 1.57 percent, which means that the higher interest expense has a direct impact on earnings. As per September 30, 2022, 42 percent of the total debt portfolio was hedged with an interest-rate cap or swap.

The sensitivity analysis below presents the estimated impact on earnings if the STIBOR 3M and EURIBOR 6M were to increase or decrease by 1 or 2 percentage points, and if the company's average interest rate of 2.8 percent were to increase or decrease by 1 percentage point. The majority of the company's covenants include interest floors that mean that a negative STIBOR 3M or EURIBOR 6M do not impact the company's average rate.

A rise in the rate of 1.0 percentage point would charge earnings with a MSEK 184 increase in interest expenses, given existing derivative agreements. A rise in the interest rate of 2.0 percentage points would charge earnings with a MSEK 336 increase in interest expenses, given existing derivative agreements. In the latter example, the interest-rate cap means that the higher rate does not have a full impact on the statement of profit/loss.

Each variable in the table above has been addressed individually and on the condition that the other variables remain constant. The analysis refers to liability against the wholly owned property portfolio and does not pretend to be exact. It is merely indicative and aims to show the most relevant, measurable factors in the specific context.

Exposure to exchange rate fluctuations

Nyfosa has invested in properties in the Finnish and Norwegian markets and is thus exposed to currency risk. The presentation currency is SEK and all balance-sheet items in other currencies have been translated to SEK. Translation differences may have a material impact on the Group's operations, financial position and operating earnings. Currency risk is managed by financing acquisitions of properties in EUR and NOK by raising borrowings in the same currency. Transaction exposure in the Group is managed by matching income and expenses in the same currency.

Currency exposure comprises net assets in EUR and the share of equity in joint ventures and receivables from joint ventures in NOK. Translation effects for foreign operations are recognized under the heading Other comprehensive income. Others exchange rate effects are recognized in profit or loss. Net assets in foreign currency amounted to MEUR 343 and the share of equity in joint ventures including receivables from joint ventures to MNOK 160 on September 30, 2022.

  1. Assumptions include that loss carryforwards are expected to be used in the next five years with nominal tax of 20.6 percent. The property portfolio is expected to be realized over 50 years when the entire portfolio will be indirectly sold via companies and the purchaser's deduction for deferred tax is 7 percent. The discount rate was 3 percent.

Net asset value is the total capital that the company manages on behalf of its owners and the value can be calculated in different ways depending on the time perspective and turnover rate in the property portfolio. EPRA NRV (Net Reinvestment Value) is based on the company never selling its assets and aims to reflect the value required for building up the operations again. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders less hybrid bonds was adjusted for items that do not involve any payment in the near future, both in Nyfosa and Nyfosa's participations in joint ventures. EPRA NTA (Net Tangible Assets) assumes that the company will make property transactions and thus be liable to pay certain taxes. The performance measure comprises equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders less hybrid bonds adjusted for the portion of deferred tax, both in Nyfosa and Nyfosa's share of deferred tax in joint ventures, measured taking into consideration how the company has carried out property transactions in the past few years. EPRA NDV (Net Disposal Value) comprises equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders in the statement of financial position and less hybrid bonds.

The loan-to-value ratio is calculated by using interest-bearing liabilities as a percentage of the value of the properties according to the statement of financial position. The net loan-to-value ratio is calculated by using net loans, meaning interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, as a percentage of the value of the properties according to the statement of financial position.

The interest-coverage ratio is calculated by excluding shares in profit in joint ventures, depreciation/amortization and financial income and expenses from profit from property management. The performance measure treats ground rent as a property expense, similar to previous calculations. This profit is then expressed as a percentage of financial income and expenses to calculate the interest-coverage ratio.

The information is inside information that Nyfosa AB is obligated to disclose in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication through the agency of the aforementioned contact persons on October 20, 2022 at 7:30 a.m. CEST.

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This condensed interim 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 interim 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. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are provided not only in the financial statements and the accompanying notes but also elsewhere in this interim 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. "Last 4 quarters" and "Rolling 12 months" mean the most recent 12-month period from the balance-sheet date.

NOTE 2 ESTIMATES AND ASSESSMENTS

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.

Measurement of investment properties

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.

Measurement of loss carryforwards

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.

Classification of acquisitions

Nyfosa's corporate acquisitions in 2022 encompass only properties and no material processes, which is why the transactions are deemed to be asset purchases.

NOTE 3 OPERATING SEGMENTS

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.

NOTE 4 TAX

The Group's effective tax rate for the interim period was 13.2 percent (13.1). 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 14,877 in the Group that is not included.

NOTE 5 EARNINGS PER SHARE

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 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 general total proceeds of MSEK 14, which will be paid in October 2022.

The dilution from the existing warrants program amounted to 0.2 percent for the period.

NOTE 6 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 offset 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.

Hybrid bonds

Nyfosa issued hybrid bonds of a total of MSEK 800 under a framework of MSEK 2,000. 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.

NOTE 9 RELATED PARTIES

During the period, 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. The company TPI, of which Söderport owns 78.1 percent, also purchases management services from Nyfosa and Sagax. Samfosa is managed by its own organization.

Property management fees between the companies are based on market terms. Nyfosa's fee totals MSEK 3 per year. The Group had receivables of MSEK 29 from joint ventures on September 30, 2022. The terms of the loan are market-based and stipulated in a promissory note between the parties.

Nyfosa signed a consultancy agreement with Board member Jens Engwall. His assignment under the agreement is to provide advisory services, in the first instance to the company's CEO, and also to continue to serve as the company's Board member in Söderport Property Investment AB and Torslanda Property Investment AB. The agreement came into effect on March 1, 2021 and expires on December 31, 2022. Annual fees of MSEK 1 are paid.

NOTE 10 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE INTERIM PERIOD

Nyfosa acquired eight properties located in Västervik, Halmstad and the Finnish city of Turku in three transactions. The total acquisition price amounts to MSEK 411 and the total annual rental value is MSEK 38. The acquired properties have a total area of approximately 37 thousand square meters, of which approximately 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 average remaining lease term is 3.6 years and the occupancy rate is 97.6 percent. The largest tenants are the Social Insurance Agency, the Social Welfare Office and Region Halland. Closing for the properties in Halmstad took place on September 30 and closing for the others are planned during the fourth quarter of 2022.

PARENT COMPANY

Nyfosa AB is a holding company whose operations comprise owning and managing shares. The company owns 100 percent of the participations in Nyfosa Holding AB, which indirectly owns properties for SEK 41.5 billion.

REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Nyfosa AB (publ) Corp. id. 559131-0833

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Nyfosa AB (publ) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
