COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Nyfosa can report yet another highly active quarter. We acquired and divested properties for a total of SEK 4.7 billion, refinanced loans for SEK 5.5 billion and reported the best net operating income ever.

"Cash flow in focus, as always"

Our focus is, as always, on building up stable cash flows from a high-yielding property portfolio that is diverse in terms of geography, property categories and tenants. These cash flows provide stability and security for the business in a time when financing and the trend in property values are more uncertain.

Transactions

During the quarter, we remained active in the transaction market, such as in Finland where we completed acquisitions. These properties are a welcome addition to Nyfosa's existing portfolio, featuring modern offices, light

industry and big-box retail in prime locations around the Helsinki region. In parallel, we divested properties and strengthened our statement of financial position for new investments. For instance, a property portfolio was sold in Småland and Östergötland as well as a large office property in Solna to the Swedish Fortifications Agency. After the end of the quarter, we also acquired an industrial portfolio in Kalmar that will contribute growing cash flows.

The positive change in value of 1.1 percent for the quarter was primarily an effect of new and renegotiated leases. We have never generated higher profit from our property management and see no slowdown in demand for our premises. In addition to stable earnings in the existing portfolio, the acquisitions in Finland boosted net operating income. Yield requirements were essentially unchanged.

Financing and capital structure

The vast majority of Nyfosa's financing is bank loans, 93 percent, and the remainder is bonds. In the second quarter, we refinanced parts of our loan portfolio, which included all loans maturing in 2022 and the majority of loans maturing in 2023. This means that Nyfosa's next bond maturity of MSEK 1,100 is in April 2024. Our relationships with the banks are more important than ever and I

am grateful for the confidence that Nordic banks have shown in Nyfosa as a company and our ability to deliver in all economic climates. Refinancing during the quarter took place at the same margins as previously.

Inflation and rising interest rates affect cash flow – inflation has a positive effect due to mainly inflation-

hedged rental income, and higher interest rates have a negative impact. Nyfosa hedges some of its interest using interest-rate caps and swaps but has decided to also work with variable interest rates. This is a strategy that we consider to be profitable over time, and this approach stands firm. With the current inflation rate of about 7 percent and a 1 percentage-point increase in interest rates, Nyfosa's earnings capacity is impacted by a MSEK 200 increase in rental income and a MSEK 223 increase in interest expenses, thereby yielding a MSEK 23 decrease in earnings, corresponding to SEK 0.12 per share. On the basis of this scenario, we can maintain earnings per share – other things being equal – of SEK 8.73.

Nyfosa is to act prudently and create value in all markets, and we can also see acquisition opportunities going forward. We will remain close to the market to carry out both large and small transactions, as always.

Stina Lindh Hök, CEO

COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF PROFIT/LOSS

QUARTER APRIL–JUNE 2022

Several closings were completed in the Finnish market during the quarter, including two major portfolios. The largest portfolio comprises properties located in several municipalities in Finland, with a focus on the Helsinki region, Turku and Jyväskylä. The acquisition price corresponded to MSEK 2,109 and the portfolio includes offices, retail, schools and healthcare with a diversified tenant base. The tenants include Delta Auto, Senate Properties,

Kesko, Tokmanni, and the City of Helsinki. The leasing rate is 87 percent, the rental value is MSEK 311 and the remaining lease term is 4.7 years.

The second portfolio comprises 16 properties in the Helsinki region, Tampere and several large cities across Finland. The acquisition price corresponded to MSEK 1,415. and the portfolio primarily comprises light industry and warehouse properties, as well as some big-box retail and offices. Among the larger tenants are several well-known companies such as Rusta, Motonet, Jysk, Senate Properties and Kesko. The leasing rate is 91.5 percent, the rental value is MSEK 150 and the remaining lease term is 3.5 years.

In June, the divestment of a portfolio of 13 properties was completed at a selling price of MSEK 947. The portfolio comprises industry, warehouse, office and retail situated in a number of municipalities in Småland and Östergötland. The annual rental value of the portfolio is MSEK 76.

Agreements to divest two properties were also signed in two separate transactions. The first property is Skogskarlen 3 in Solna, which was divested at a selling price of MSEK 400. The property comprises a leasable area of 10 thousand sqm, the rental value amounts to MSEK 20 and the leasing rate is 44 percent. The buyer is the Swedish Fortifications Agency. Closing is planned for September 30, 2022. The second property is centrally located in Valsta, Märsta, with a selling price of MSEK 101, leasing rate of 99 percent and rental value of MSEK 12. Closing is planned for October 31, 2022.

During the quarter, all liabilities with short maturities were refinanced, corresponding to MSEK 3,711, of which MSEK 748 in bond loans and MSEK 2,995 in bank loans. Bank loans of MSEK 1,125 maturing within 1-2 years were also refinanced. The liabilities were refinanced with bank loans, loan funds and bond loans. On June 30, 2022, 42 percent of the total debt portfolio was hedged with an interest rate cap or swap. The average interest rate ceiling is 1.6 percent. The interest-coverage ratio was a multiple of 3.4 (3.3). The share of annual rental income with an index clause amounts to 90 percent, which means that rental income increases in line with inflation. Accordingly, there is a natural hedge in the leases against rising interest expenses. Energy prices have risen and impacted earnings, but with a marginal effect since most of the electricity costs are charged to tenants. Project costs have become noticeably more expensive, but the short-term impact is low since Nyfosa has few large projects.

Rent losses for the quarter were at a normal low level. 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. Leasing operations resulted in net leasing of MSEK +6. New leases were signed for a total of MSEK 32, while terminations amounted to MSEK 26. Confirmed bankruptcies among tenants amounted to MSEK 0.9. The lease with the Swedish Transport Agency in Örebro was renegotiated during the quarter. The new lease term is six years and the annual rental value amounts to MSEK 27.

NET LEASING

Rental income and net operating income

Income amounted to MSEK 791 (583), up MSEK 208 or 36 percent. The larger portfolio was the main reason for the growth.

Net operating income for the quarter amounted to MSEK 523 (395) and the surplus ratio was 66.1 percent (67.7). Net operating income for the quarter 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 43 (31).

Profit from participations in joint ventures of MSEK 296 (283) 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 62 (57) and changes in values and tax impacted the share in profit by MSEK 234 (216).

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –142 (–110). The increase was due to higher net debt, amounting to MSEK 22,775 (17,092) on the balance-sheet date, and the higher average interest rate.

Profit from property management amounted to MSEK 637 (539). Excluding changes in value and tax in joint ventures, profit from property management amounted to MSEK 403 (300).

Changes in value

Revaluation of properties amounted to MSEK 350 (237) and was mainly impacted by signed new leases and renegotiated leases.

Tax

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to MSEK 73 (64). The effective tax rate was 6.9 percent (8.3). 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 nontaxable capital gains on the divestment of properties via companies, and that the value of loss carryforwards changes over time.

Earnings per share for the quarter after dilution amounted to SEK 5.07 (3.82).

JANUARY–JUNE 2022

Rental income and net operating income

Income amounted to MSEK 1,505 (1,154), up MSEK 351 or 30 percent. The larger portfolio was the main reason for the growth.

Net operating income amounted to MSEK 974 (755) and the surplus ratio was 64.7 percent (65.4). 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.

Tax

The tax expense for the period amounted to MSEK 290 (171). The effective tax rate was 11.2 percent (11.2). 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 nontaxable capital gains on the divestment of properties via companies, or that the value of loss carryforwards changes over time.

Earnings per share for the period after dilution amounted to SEK 11.93 (7.28).

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.

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. The properties are predominantly modern logistics buildings with a highly flexible range of applications.

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 leasing 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 July 1, 2022 amounted to MSEK 3,388, of which vacancy rent, including discounts, was MSEK 256. The share of annual rental income with an index clause was 90 percent. Nyfosa had 6,552 leases including 2,587 leases for garages and parking spaces. The average lease term was 3.7 years. The lease term in the Finnish portfolio was 3.3 years. A large share of rental income in the Finnish portfolio refers to "until further notice leases" that run on a 12-month basis, which is a common form of agreement in Finland. Tenants lease their premises on average for a longer period. 39 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 162 leases. Among the largest tenants are the Swedish Transport Agency, Saab, Telia, Försäkringskassan, City Gross, the Swedish Police and the Swedish Public Employment Service, meaning a large share of companies that conduct tax-financed operations. Of total rental income, tax-financed rent represented 25 percent.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO TRENDS

TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENTS

Acquired properties, January–June 2022

Several closings were completed in the Finnish market during the quarter, including two major portfolios. The largest portfolio comprises properties located in several municipalities in Finland, with a focus on the Helsinki region, Turku and Jyväskylä. The acquisition price amounts to a corresponding MSEK 2,109 and the portfolio includes offices, retail, schools and healthcare with a diversified tenant base. The car dealer chain Delta Auto, Senaatti, Kesko, Tokmanni and the City of Helsinki. The leasing rate is 87 percent, the rental value MSEK 311 and the remaining lease term is 4.7 years.

The second portfolio comprises properties in the Helsinki region, Tampere and several large cities across Finland. The acquisition price amounts to a corresponding MSEK 1,415 and the portfolio primarily comprises light industry and warehouse properties, as well as some big-box retail and offices. Among the larger tenants are several wellknown companies such as Rusta, Motonet, Jysk, Senaatti and Kesko. The leasing rate is 91.5 percent, the rental value MSEK 150 and the remaining lease term is 3.5 years.

Investments in existing properties, January–June 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. In the existing portfolio, two buildings received environmental certification and the quarter's accessions complement the portfolio with five buildings with environmental certifications. Properties with sustainability certification had a total value of SEK 9.3 billion on the balance-sheet date, corresponding to 23 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 larger 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 227 were made in the existing property portfolio. The majority of investments were for projects, tenant-specific modifications and improvements related to finalized leases. The largest ongoing investments are presented in the table below. A major expansion and renovation project is underway at the property Vasarakatu 27 property in Jyväskylä, for which a 15-year lease was signed with Spesia, which conducts education and training. The premises in Mården 11 in Luleå are undergoing a complete renovation and modification for the Municipality of Luleå, which signed a ten-year lease with occupancy scheduled for January 2023. The premises in Norr 12:5 in Gävle are being renovated and modified for the existing tenant Försäkringskassan. Modifications are being made at Snickaren 12 in Växjö for DHL, which signed a new five-year lease.

The second property is centrally located in Valsta, Märsta that is divested at a selling price of MSEK 101. The property's leasing rate is 99 percent and rental value is MSEK 12. Closing is planned for October 31, 2022.

YIELD REQUIREMENT FOR VALUATION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

The weighted yield requirement for externally valued properties on June 30, 2022 was 5.83 percent, and the weighted cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows and residual values was a nominal 7.74 percent and 8.02 percent, respectively. When last valued on March 31, 2022, the yield requirement was 5.82 percent, and the weighted cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows and the residual value was 7.61 percent and 7.93 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 July 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 July;
  • 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 based on the company's average interest rate level on the balance sheet date, including allocated arrangement fees totaling 2.4 percent. The item also includes ground rent.

With the current inflation rate of about 7 percent and a 1 percentage-point increase in interest rates, Nyfosa's earnings capacity is impacted by a MSEK 200 increase in rental income and a MSEK 223 increase in interest expenses, thereby yielding a MSEK 23 decrease in earnings capacity, corresponding to SEK 0.12 per share. On the basis of this scenario, earnings per share – other things being equal – will be approximately SEK 8.73.

SÖDERPORT

Nyfosa owns 50 percent of the shares in property company Söderport. The remaining portion of the shares is owned by AB Sagax (publ). The holding is classified as Participations in joint ventures and Nyfosa's share in Söderport's earnings is recognized in Nyfosa's profit from property management.

Söderport's property portfolio primarily comprises industrial, warehouse and office properties, which essentially presents a supplement to Nyfosa's wholly owned property portfolio.

FINANCING

Nyfosa finances its assets through equity, bank loans with Nordic banks, loan funds and hybrid bonds issued in the Swedish capital market. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 18,924 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 23,541 including allocated arrangement fees, of which bank loans with properties as collateral represented 93 percent, corresponding to MSEK 21,941, 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 55.1 percent (54.4). To support 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 3,301. 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 351 the total amount granted of MSEK 955 against collateral in existing properties. To utilize the remaining MSEK 2,346 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.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing loans from the credit and capital markets amounted to MSEK 23,541, including allocated arrangement fees, of which bank loans comprised MSEK 21,941 and senior unsecured bond loans MSEK 1,600. New bank loans of MSEK 2,188 were raised in Finland in connection with financial closing of property acquisitions. All liabilities with short-term maturities were refinanced during the quarter, totaling MSEK 3,743, of which MSEK 748 comprised bonds, MSEK 1,913 bank loans and MSEK 1,082 utilized credit facilities that has partly been refinanced by a term loan. Bank loans of MSEK 1,125 maturing within one to two years were also refinanced. As part of the refinancing of short-term maturities, new green bonds of MSEK 500 were issued and short-term bridge financing of MSEK 700 was raised. This bridge financing was fully repaid during the quarter. Repayments on existing bank loans in connection with divestments amounted to MSEK 453.

Bonds of MSEK 125 were repurchased earlier in the period, and new bonds of MSEK 100 were issued with maturities in April 2024. Repayments of MSEK 80 were made in connection with divestments.

The utilization of revolving credit facilities declined by net MSEK 1,501 during the period.

The next loan maturity in the portfolio to be refinanced is in November 2023. This is a secured bank loan of MSEK 830 in Sweden. A bond of MSEK 1,100 matures in April 2024 and the remaining MSEK 500 in January 2025.

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. 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. Rising interest rates that do not reach the interest rate cap, on the other hand, have a full impact on earnings. The interest-rate caps are 1.5–2.0 percent, in average 1.56 percent. This means that MSEK 8,967 of the total volume of debt has an interest hedge that means that if the market rate rises above 1.5 percent, the increase will not have a full impact on earnings. Interest-rate swaps of a nominal MSEK 1,076 were signed in Finland. Under these derivatives, Nyfosa pays a fixed average interest rate of 1.57 percent, which means that the higher interest expense has had a direct impact on the company's statement of profit/loss. On June 30, 2022, 42 percent of the total debt portfolio was hedged with an interest rate cap or swap.

  1. Interest-bearing liabilities in the statement of financial position include allocated arrangement fees, which is the reason for the deviation between the table and the statement of financial position.

The sensitivity analysis below presents the estimated impact on earnings if 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 2.1 percent were to increase or decrease by 1 percentage point. The majority of the company's covenants include interest floors that mean that negative STIBOR 3M or EURIBOR 6M do not affect the company's average interest rate.

A rise in the market rate of 1.0 percentage point would charge earnings with a MSEK 223 increase in higher interest expenses, given existing derivative agreements. A rise in the market rate of 2.0 percentage points would charge earnings with a MSEK 394 increase in higher interest expenses, given existing derivative agreements. In the latter example, the interest-rate cap means that the higher rate does not have a full effect in the statement of profit/loss.

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 EUR or NOK have been translated to SEK. Translation differences may have a material impact on the Group's operations, financial position and operating earnings in SEK. 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 a capital share in joint ventures of 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 271 and capital share in joint ventures of MNOK 76 on June 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 amounted to 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 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 and Swedish Securities Market Act. The information was submitted for publication through the agency of the aforementioned contact persons on July 12, 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 means a rolling 12-month period.

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 the 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 leasing 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 11.2 percent (11.2). 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 14 915 in the Group that is not included.

Profit before tax 2,595
Tax according to applicable tax rate for Parent Company -20.6% -535
Non-deductible costs and tax-exempt income 1.4% 37

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/.

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 19 from joint ventures on June 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

In July, eight properties with warehouse and light industry in Kalmar were acquired for MSEK 340 before a deduction for deferred tax of MSEK 20.

PARENT COMPANY
