Outcome and comparative figures in Logistea's interim report for Q2 2022 refer to the company's real estate operations.

CEO's statement

" Logistea reports its strongest figures ever, where revenues increased sharply and amounted to SEK 106 million (37) for the first half of the year, an increase corresponding to 187 percent."

Logistea continues to grow, and during the second quarter we acquired properties worth SEK 966 million. This means that we now have a portfolio of properties worth almost SEK 4.2 billion and continue our journey towards becoming one of the leading real estate companies in warehousing, logistics and light industry. We are also in line with achieving our goal of a property value of more than SEK 15 billion by the end of 2024.

Logistea reports its strongest figures ever, where revenues increased sharply and amounted to SEK 106 million (37) for the first half of the year, an increase corresponding to 187 percent. Profit from property management increased to SEK 31 million (5). Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK 347 million (110), where unrealised changes in the value of properties had a positive impact on earnings of SEK 314 million (105). Net asset value increased by 38 percent and amounted to SEK 16.3 per share at the end of the period, compared with SEK 11.8 at year-end.

Attractive asset class

Demand remains good for functional premises for warehousing, logistics and light industry and our vacancy rate is very low – almost 100 percent of our space is leased. This is a figure we are very pleased with, and which demonstrates our ability to attract new tenants and retain existing tenants. We also see that the trend where companies are moving production back to Europe and Sweden is continuing. The results of uncertain deliveries and the problems it has caused have been made clear in recent years why it is a natural step for many companies to have production closer. Increased production in the domestic market also means increased local warehousing, which benefits us.

The ESG aspect also weighs in when many companies want to gain better control over how production and warehousing takes place. Geopolitical turmoil, where both production and deliveries may be affected, also leads to increased demand in our segment of real estate.

We continue our work on sustainability and strive to minimize the environmental impact by working resource- and energyefficiently. During the second quarter, we signed an electricity supply agreement for 100 percent Swedish eco-labelled hydropower. We are actively working to increase the number of solar panels on our buildings, and have, among other things, started installing solar panels on our property in Vaggeryd Logistikpark. We have also applied for support to install electric charging stations for heavy traffic at a selection of our logistics properties.

The transaction market remained strong, with transactions at continued high levels during the quarter. Notably, the price of building rights has increased significantly, which further supports the market's view of a high demand for warehouses and logistics space for many years to come.

E-commerce continues to grow. And although some slowdown in rapid growth has been reported, the trend is projected to be growing in the long run. The demand for logistics properties is strongly characterized by the development of e-commerce and the increased element of automation in goods handling that many e-retailers demand. It is a development that has accelerated in recent years and has changed the requirements specification for logistics

Profitable development activities

tenants.

Since the turn of the year, we have completed two projects of state-of-the-art tenant-adapted properties, one of 13,500 square meters of space, in Vaggeryd Logistikpark for a combination of warehouse, logistics and light industry and one of 9,000 square meters of space in Viared in Borås where we built a new modern warehouse for the e-commerce player Cellbes, with the latest in automated logistics management. Preparations are progressing for the construction for which we have signed an LOI with battery cell manufacturer Freyr Battery. We work closely with Svenljunga municipality and Freyr, where the detailed planning work is underway as well as the land and environmental surveys.

properties. Here we see many interesting opportunities to develop our properties together with existing and potential

We are well positioned for continued demand in our segment with our large portfolio of building rights, 310,500 square meters, in attractive locations where we will develop modern and sustainable logistics and industrial properties. All in all, this means that we are well within the goal of annually completing 25,000 square meters of leasable area.

Strong business model

In the more troubled times we find ourselves, it feels reassuring that Logistea has stable rental income, with long leases and financially stable tenants. The average term of Logistea's lease is 8.1 years. The leases are also about 80 per cent triple net-like agreements where the tenant accounts for the majority of operation and maintenance costs. In addition, 97 percent of leases are indexed, of which 97 percent follow the CPI. Overall, this creates stability and predictability in our revenues, which is in line with our business concept of rewarding safe cash flows. With a property yield of 5.9 percent on our investment properties, we have a good margin to meet increasing interest expenses.

In summary, we stand strong, with a large yield gap, financially stable tenants, long leases and interesting land locations to develop into new modern properties. We can also state that we have a business model that holds, now and in the future.

Performance analysis

Rental income

Rental income including rent supplements for the first half of the year increased by 186 per cent compared to the same period last year and amounted to SEK 106 million (37). Rental income for the second quarter amounted to SEK 56 million (19). The increase compared to the previous year is mainly attributable to a larger property portfolio.

The economic occupancy rate on the balance sheet date was 99.2 per cent (99.6) and the contracted rental value of the investment properties amounted to SEK 247 million (85), an increase of 192 per cent.

Property costs

Property costs for the period amounted to SEK 34 million (12). The costs consist mainly of property management and operation in the form of electricity, heating and water. The increase is attributable to the larger property portfolio as well as a slight increase in tariff-linked costs as a result of increased electricity and heating costs. Most of Logistea's property costs are charged to the tenants in the form of rental supplements.

Net operating income

Net operating income increased by 187 per cent for the first half of the year compared to the first half of 2021 and amounted to SEK 72 million (25). A specification of net operating income for the quarter can be found in Note 2.

Central administration

Costs for central administration, which relate to costs for Group Management and Group-wide functions, amounted to SEK 16 million (12) for the period.

Net financial income

Financial costs amounted to SEK 25 million (8). At the end of the period, the average interest rate was 3.6 per cent (3.1).

The interest coverage ratio increased to 2.2 times (1.6). See further information on interest-bearing liabilities on page 13.

Profit from property management

Profit from property management increased and amounted to SEK 31 million (5) for the period, of which SEK 18 million (2) is attributable to the second quarter. The increase is largely due to a larger property portfolio.

Comment on the cash flow statement

Cash flow is prepared and adjusted in accordance with IAS 7, which has resulted in adjustments to the previous quarter's reported cash flow statement, which was previously prepared in accordance with industry practice among real estate companies. The line Acquisition of subsidiaries was previously referred to as Acquisition of real estate. Now only the net purchase price for the shares is reported less acquired cash and cash equivalents. Amortized loans include the Company's amortizations on existing debt and refinancing of acquired debts.

Following the completion of the rights issue in April, which raised SEK 350 million before issue costs, and the completion of two major new construction projects during the quarter, Logistea has a strong cash position of SEK 130 million to use for future transactions and projects. In addition to the cash register, the Group has outstanding credit facilities of approximately SEK 132 million that can be called off if necessary.

Property portfolio

Logistea continues its growth with the vision of being the natural long-term partner to companies that demand sustainable modern premises for warehousing, logistics and light industry. This is done through the acquisition, development and pre-management of properties and land.

The operational target that the property value shall exceed SEK 15 billion by the end of 2024 shall be made by:

  • Acquire properties and buildable land in attractive locations in Sweden, and over time also in the rest of the Nordic region, suitable for warehousing, logistics and light industry.
  • Continuously develop existing property portfolio as well as new construction of properties on own land.
  • Prioritize a well-diversified customer base with financially stable tenants and long-term leases.
  • Conduct a resource-efficient business, where digitalization and technology are enablers, and where environmental impact and social sustainability are taken into account in business decisions.

As of 30 June 2022, Logistea owned 66 properties (41) in 37 locations (19) in Sweden. Total rental income in the second quarter amounted to SEK 56 million (19) and for the last 12 months to SEK 162 million. Total leasable area amounted to 533,326 square meters, including ongoing new and extension projects. The occupancy rate for the investment properties at the end of the period was 99.2 per cent (95.2).

The total carrying value of the property portfolio on the balance sheet date amounted to SEK 4,185 million (2,607), in addition to which future investments for new construction and extensions that are planned to be completed within 12 months amount to SEK 150 million.

During the second quarter, the unrealized change in value amounted to SEK 135 million (102). The change in value is based on the completion of projects of SEK 24 million and other from adjusted assumptions about inflation and yield requirements for investment properties.

The valuation yield for Logistea's investment properties at the end of the period was 5.9 per cent, compared with 5.8 per

Q2 cent at the end of the first quarter. More information can be found in Note 7.

The carrying amount of the properties is based both on external valuations by reputable valuation agencies and on internal valuations. As of the balance sheet date, 47 per cent of the properties have been valued externally and the remaining properties have been valued internally. More information about valuations can be found in Note 10 in Logistea's Annual and Sustainability Report 2021.

Customers and leases

Logistea offers sustainable and efficient premises in good business locations adapted to the tenant's needs. Together with the tenants, the properties are developed for the benefit of both parties.

Logistea's acquisition strategy focuses on properties in good locations with long-term financially stable tenants. As of June 30 2022, the average remaining contract length was one for Logistea's tenants 8.1 years. Diversification in tenants' industries and business results in a reduced risk of rent losses and vacancies.

Project properties

In order to get and retain satisfied, long-term tenants, Logistea works continuously to develop, refine, modernize and customize properties. Together with the tenants, Logistea develops new properties, further develops and builds to existing properties, and drives further development of the environment closest to the properties. Through a good cooperation, Logistea can grow with the tenant.

Current projects

Borås (Viared) – The project to build approximately 9,000 square meters of state-of-the-art warehouse and logistics space for the existing property has been completed and handed over to the tenant, e-commerce player Cellbes, who has also completed the installation of one of the automation solutions "Autostore". Modernization and purpose adaptation of the original building is underway in cooperation with the tenant.

Vaggeryd Logistikpark – The logistics park is an extensive development area in an excellent logistics location south of Jönköping where rail connection is also included. The first stage, a state-of-the-art property for logistics and light industry of about 13,500 square meters with a good sign location at the E4 has been completed, final decisions have been received and tenants have been able to move in.

Q2 Timrå – For Nordic Netstores, Logistea is developing a modern needs-adapted warehouse and logistics building of 4,500 sqm in Timrå with an estimated handover in the second quarter of 2023.

Gothenburg – Construction of two project properties in Gothenburg is expected to begin in 2022

Future projects

Svenljunga – An early-stage project, with the potential to become one of the larger industrial projects in Sweden in the coming years, consists of the letter of intent that Logistea, together with Hansson Holding AB, signed with the battery manufacturer Freyr Battery at the end of 2021 regarding a lease agreement for 380,000 square meters newly produced local area. At the same time, an associated exclusive land reservation agreement for one million square meters of land area was signed with Svenljunga Municipality.

Båramo – Båramo Terminal, a dry port connected by rail with the Port of Gothenburg, is one of the largest inland nodes in the shuttle system by rail to and from the Port of Gothenburg. Here, Logistea plans the construction of modern purpose-built warehouse and logistics buildings on 100,000 square meters of land, of which 80,000 square meters are held via a onesided option. The Båramo combi terminal is part of the EUestablished European rail corridor ScandMed.

Real estate market

Investment market

Access to capital for the Swedish real estate market remains good, believe that a turbulent environment with increased geopolitical uncertainty and a rapidly rising cost situation1 . According to statistics from Datscha, real estate transactions for SEK 96 billion were made in Sweden during the first half of 2022, an increase of 27 percent compared to the same period last year. Transactions of logistics and industrial properties accounted for 30 percent, SEK 29 billion, of the transactions in the first half of the year. This compares with almost SEK 27 billion in the corresponding period last year.

During the first half of 2022, a number of major deals were completed in Sweden that indicate a continued high level of interest in the warehousing and logistics segment among investors. A record-breaking deal was completed in June 2022 when Panattoni, one of Europe's largest developers in industrial and logistics properties, acquired just over 1.2 million square meters of zoned land, with the opportunity to develop just over 660,000 square meters of building, in different parts of Sweden. The purchase price amounted to SEK 3.1 billion, which corresponds to a value of around SEK 4,700 per square meter of building right.

Rental development

Leases for warehousing, logistics and light industry signed in the first half of the year indicate that the prime rent level in several places has begun to rise, mainly due to a great interest from tenants of new leases as well as rising construction costs and land prices1 .

1) Ref. Colliers, June 2022

Transaction volume, logistics and industrial properties 2013 - 2022

Q2 Rental levels for warehouses in the Borås and Jönköping region, where most of Logistea's property portfolio is located, are expected to increase by between SEK 25 and 50 per square meter from 2022 to 2023, an increase of between 5 and 9 percent.

Development

The logistics segment is strongly characterized by a growing e-commerce and an increased element of automation in goods handling – a development that accelerated during the corona pandemic and which has changed the specification of requirements for logistics properties. An increased element of robots places new technical demands on the buildings as well as sufficient and secure access to electricity.

Stricter sustainability requirements are driving the development towards energy-efficient buildings with better operating economy. Fast and precise deliveries to the end customer require central warehouses, terminals and last-mile facilities to be placed in geographically optimal locations.

During the pandemic, it became clear that international trade with just-in-time deliveries involves great risks for the flow of goods. According to the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, many companies are now trying to reduce this vulnerability in various ways, for example by "taking home" or choosing suppliers closer to the domestic market, spreading the flow to several different suppliers and by increasing the stock one.

Sustainability

Targets and strategy in line with Agenda 2030 and BREEAM

Logistea contributes to the UN's Agenda 2030 by supporting a sustainable society and protecting the environment and has been a member of the UN Global Compact since 2022. The UN's global goals where Logistea has the greatest opportunity to influence are:

  • 7 Sustainable energy for all,
  • 8 Good working conditions and economic growth,
  • 9 Sustainable industry, innovations and infrastructure,
  • 11 Sustainable cities and communities,
  • 12 Sustainable consumption and production, and
  • 13 Fight climate change.

Logistea develops the operational work within the sustainability goals in dialogue with the company's stakeholders. The priority is to minimize the environmental impact of the business by working resource-smart, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Sustainability goals

Logistea's quantifiable targets for energy consumption in new construction, and where possible, in existing properties, are:

  • BREEAM Very good or higher or equivalent certification standard, or
  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) A or B, or
  • Energy consumption less than 20 % of the applicable national building regulation, or
  • Reduce energy consumption by at least 30 percent in major rebuilds.

Sustainability update

Logistea's work in the area of sustainability continued during the first half of the year. During the second quarter, electricity supply agreements were signed for 100 percent Swedish eco-labelled hydropower. Work to increase the number of solar panels continues, including the installation of solar panels in Vaggeryd Logistikpark and the project to install solar panels in Viared, Borås, has begun. Applications have also been submitted for support for installing electric charging stations for heavy traffic at a selection of Logistea's logistics properties.

50 percent green financing

In 2021, Logistea established a green financial framework to finance and refinance green and energy-efficient buildings as well as investments in energy efficiency such as solar panels. The Green Finance Framework is established in accordance with the Green Bond Principles, designed by ICMA (International Capital Markets Association) and the Green Loan Principles, designed by the LMA (Loan Market Association). The framework is reviewed by ISS ESG, an independent third party. In 2021, Logistea issued SEK 500 million in senior unsecured bonds within the framework, which totals SEK 1,000 million. The company's green assets on the balance sheet date amounted to approximately SEK 715 million. Logistea's operational target is to have 50 per cent of its loan portfolio consist of green financing by the end of 2026. On the balance sheet date, 21 per cent of the loan portfolio consisted of green finance.

Social responsibility

Since 2021, Logistea has been the main sponsor of the Gothenburg-based sports club Grunden Bois. The association welcomes anyone with intellectual disabilities who wants to participate in sports in football, floorball and gymnastics. With the sponsorship, Logistea wants to create the conditions for more young people and adults who want to play sports to do so. For more information about the association see also www.grundenbois.com

Q2

Financing

Market outlook

The second quarter of the year, like the end of the first quarter, was marked by some disruptions in the global economy. Increased production costs combined with strong demand led to price increases that spread to food, goods and services prices and resulted in measured inflation of 7.2 percent.

In June, the Riksbank made the assessment that inflation will remain above 7 per cent throughout 2022, which led to an increase in the policy rate to 0.75 per cent in June. In connection with the increase, the repo rate path was also revised up and the Riksbank communicated a forecast of increases at each regular meeting until mid-2023, when the policy rate is expected to stay at 2 per cent.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Logistea uses bank financing and capital markets to finance investments in acquisitions and new construction, refinement and optimization of the existing portfolio. Growth shall take place with a balanced net borrowing of a maximum of 60 percent over time. In order to adjust the fixed interest rate in the loan portfolio, Logistea turns on derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. During the quarter, Logistea's derivatives portfolio has grown, and at the end of the period amounted to a nominal value of SEK 438.5 million (0), of which SEK 400 million (0) consists of interest rate swaps and SEK 38.5 million (0) of interest rate caps.

The company's interest-bearing net debt on the balance sheet date amounted to SEK 2,198 million (1,468), which corresponds to a loan-to-value ratio of 52.5 percent (55.9) of the market value of the properties. Of the interest-bearing gross debt, SEK 2,016 million (1,514) consisted of long-term liabilities and SEK 172 million (32) of current liabilities. Overall, the largest part of bank financing of SEK 1,723 million (581).

The average tied-up capital in the loan portfolio at the end of the period was 2.1 years and the fixed interest rate in the portfolio amounted to 0.9 years, including the effect of interest rate derivatives. At the end of the period, the average interest rate was 3.6 percent (3.1).

Net borrowing during the period April to June 2022 amounted to a total of SEK 506 million (614). The company has raised SEK 518 million (1,256) in new loans and amortized SEK 12 million (642).

Issues related to acquisitions

Based on the Board of Directors' authorization from the Extraordinary General Meeting on October 22, 2021, Logistea has continued to pay in part property acquisitions with newly issued shares. This is expected to create shareholder value for existing shareholders. During the first two quarters of 2022, 5,136,752 new Ordinary B shares have been issued in connection with acquisitions.

Preferential rights issue

In March 2022, Logistea announced the proposal to carry out a rights issue to support Logistea's growth strategy. The issue was fully guaranteed by a group of existing shareholders and was completed in April 2022. The subscription price was set at SEK 18 per ordinary share, regardless of share class, which corresponded to an issue proceeds of SEK 350 million before issue costs. Through the rights issue, Logistea's share capital increased by SEK 9.7 million through the issuance of 1,594,732 new class A and 17,833,401 new class B shares. The number of ordinary shares increased by 19,428,133 ordinary shares, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 16.7 percent of the total number of shares and 16.7 percent of the total number of votes in Logistea.

The table above presents earning capacity for the Group on a 12-month basis.

Since the chart is not equivalent to a forecast, but intends to reflect a normal year, the outcome may differ due to decisions that affect the outcome positively or negatively in relation to normal years as well as unforeseen events. The presented earning capacity does not contain an assessment of rent, vacancy or interest rate changes and only aims to make income and expenses visible given, for example, capital structure and organization at a given time.

Logistea's income statement is also affected by changes in value and changes in the property portfolio. None of this has been taken into account in the current earning capacity. Net operating data is based on lease agreements contracted as of the balance sheet date and normalized, non-recoverable, property costs for the current portfolio. In addition, the rental value, property costs and estimated financing costs for the ongoing projects that are planned to be completed within a 12-month period where leases have been signed are included.

Rental income is recognized excluding rental supplements, see Note 2.

Other information

Seasonal variations

The leases in the company's property portfolio are approximately 80 percent so-called triple net agreements, which means that the tenant accounts for an absolute majority of operating and maintenance costs. In cases where the property owner is responsible for media costs, seasonal variations for property costs may occur, where, for example, costs for electricity and heating are higher during the colder months of the year.

Employees

The total number of employees in the Group at the end of the period was 1,6 (3). In the corresponding period for 2021, only employees attributable to continuing operations, real estate operations, are listed. The average number of employees in the second quarter was 14 persons (2).

Dividend

The Board of Directors' objective is to annually propose to the Annual General Meeting to resolve on a dividend corresponding to at least 30 percent of the company's profits. The Board of Directors intends to prioritize growth over dividends over dividends over the next few years, which may result in low or non-payment of dividends to common shares. No dividend was resolved at the Annual General Meeting for the financial year 2021.

Significant events after the end of the balance sheet date

No significant events are available to report.

Auditor's review

The interim report has not been subject to review by the company's auditor.

Accounting principles

Accounting principles

Accounting principles and calculation methods have remained unchanged compared to the annual report for the previous year. This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. Information in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting is provided both in the notes and elsewhere in the report. The comparative figure for profit and loss items in text is for the corresponding period last year. Comparative figures for balance sheet items in text are from the balance sheet date 2021-12-31.

New layout for the income statement

In the interim report for the period January – September 2021, the layout of the income statement and for the report on comprehensive income was changed. Bridges for transition from the layout form in previously published interim reports to the new layout form can be found in Note 1.

Distribution of shares in MBRS Group AB

The fashion business, which was conducted in the previously wholly owned subsidiaries Odd Molly Sverige AB and Used By International AB, was divested on July 1, 2021 to MBRS Group AB (MBRS), formerly We aRe Spin Dye AB (publ). In connection with the transaction, Logistea received newly issued shares corresponding to approximately 53 percent of the number of outstanding shares in MBRS. MBRS was part of the Logistea Group until 22 October 2021 when it was decided to distribute the shares to Logistea's shareholders in a socalled Lex Asea dividend. The profit and balances from the fashion business and MBRS are referred to in the income statement and balance sheet as from distributed operations, see Note 4 and Note 6 respectively. Finally, the cash flow for the fashion business and MBRS is also broken out and reported as cash flow from distributed operations, see Note 5.

Q2 Valuation of the real estate portfolio

Acquired investment properties are initially recognized at acquisition cost, which includes directly attributable costs to the acquisition. Investment properties are then recognised at fair value according to level three of the fair value hierarchy with changes in value in the income statement. The Group's properties consist primarily of logistics properties, which have a similar risk profile and valuation methodology. The average rental period for all contracts on the balance sheet date was 8.1 years (6.2). The essential variables, which are decisive for the calculated fair value, are the discount rate and rental value. Other important variables are long-term net operating income, rent levels, vacancy levels and geographical location. The basis for determining the yield requirement is, among other things, the market's risk rate for real estate investments, at any given time. This is based on several factors such as market interest rates, leverage ratios, inflation expectations and return requirements for invested capital. Property-specific conditions also affect the yield requirement. The property's net operating income is the property's net operating income in relation to the fair value. As the discount rate, the fixed yield rate with the addition of annual inflation is used. The level of annual future inflation is estimated at 2-5 percent. More information about Logistea's valuations can be found in Note 10 in the Annual Report 2021.
