Message from the CEO

INVESTMENT VOLUME

Target: SEK 2,500m per year over a business cycle

SURPLUS RATIO

29 September 2021 may not go down in history as a significant date. But it marked the end of the Public Health Agency's recommendation to work from home after almost 600 days, and the beginning of a post-pandemic era in Sweden. It is too early to predict how demand for our offices will develop and what the longterm effects of the pandemic will be. However, we do know that we are presenting a strong quarter from several perspectives.

One effect of the pandemic that I think will benefit us in the long run is that there is greater demand for quality. Our portfolio of modern, certified properties in attractive locations puts us in an excellent position as regards this trend. I am also convinced that the office will play an important role for businesses in the future. But that's not to say that everything will revert to how it was before.

We've experienced a quarter with an active rental market and numerous enquiries, viewings and completions on leases. In the third quarter we had positive net lettings of SEK 74m, and for the full period net lettings ended up at SEK 130m. It's good to see that lettings in the investment property portfolio have once again begun to pick up, especially in the city centre. Excluding the significant lettings to Convendum and Alfa Laval, net lettings in the rest of the portfolio totalled just over SEK 20m. We have not seen any pricing

pressure in our new lettings, and leases have been signed at good levels. The renegotiations carried out during the period resulted in an 11-per cent increase in rents, which is consistent with our expectations.

The period saw an increase in rental income and improved net operating income compared with the previous year. Profit from property management also saw a slight rise. Above all, we have seen healthy value growth in our property portfolio. Of the unrealised changes in value of SEK 2.4bn, approximately SEK 700m comprised value creation in projects and revaluation of development rights. The yield requirement saw a further slight drop during the quarter and is now four points lower than at the start of the year. I believe there is still some potential due to the delay in valuations and the fact that we are seeing low yield requirements in the transactions that are being carried out in our market. The transaction market remained strong in 2021, with a record number of transactions, although mainly in residential and logistics properties. However, a few transactions have been completed at highly satisfactory levels relating to offices in our areas. Market analysts believe, as do I, that the market for office properties in attractive locations will continue to be strong.

The 10-per cent vacancy in the management portfolio is still too high. The pandemic has had a negative impact on occupancy rates, but a significant portion of

VALUE CHANGE PROJECT

NET LETTINGS

Target: SEK 80m per year

the reported vacancies relates to ongoing tenant adaptations for signed but not occupied space. As we have previously communicated, we will have a substantial vacancy in the Nöten property when the Swedish Tax Agency moves out in March 2022. Work has begun on letting the property and adapting it to more tenants, and I am confident that we will not have any structural vacancies either in Nöten or in our other portfolio.

In Flemingsberg, we completed one of the largest office leases of the year in Sweden when Alfa Laval chose to move its operations to Flemingsberg. Some 17,000 sqm with an option for additional office space in the heart of the new Flemingsberg district will be the new home for Alfa Laval's 700 employees. I'm delighted that we've successfully completed the letting to Alfa Laval; it's been a real team effort made possible by our dedicated and businessminded employees. We have now taken a further step towards realising our vision of an attractive workplace setting on the south side of the city. There is still much work to be done, but just as Vattenfall was the first major customer to put Arenastaden on the map for subsequent tenants, we have now begun the journey via two major leases in Flemingsberg.

We have also launched a new initiative to support the educational foundation Läxhjälpen in Flemingsberg. The aim of our sponsorship is to help more pupils achieve upper secondary school entrance qualifications and make personal contacts with university students. Attaining the qualifications needed to get into upper secondary school is one of the most important factors in securing a better future in our modern knowledge-based society. We also work with Talangakademin to create internships and new jobs.

In early October, we completed a strategic acquisition of SHH Bostad for SEK 880m,

consolidating our position as an urban developer in Greater Stockholm. SHH's expertise in residential and local authority properties will allow us to be involved in the value creation process for longer and run several different types of projects under our own management. We have previously collaborated with SHH in a joint venture involving the construction of approximately 270 homes in Kista under the name Selfoss. We are very pleased with the result and the skill and commitment shown by SHH. Our existing housing development rights are a good match in terms of both implementation time and geographically. Our overall strategy, focusing on Stockholm, will also form the basis of our residential and local authority property businesses going forward. In total, our housing development rights currently correspond to around 10,000 homes. SHH will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary under its own name.

Last but not least, a few days ago we received a positive acknowledgement of our sustainability work when we scored 93 points in GRESB's annual ranking. It's an ongoing process and we need to keep challenging ourselves with ambitious but realistic goals.

Fabege is forging ahead with a strong balance sheet, generating opportunities to create additional shareholder value. With our stable customer base, modern property portfolio in prime locations and a strong market behind us, we are confident about the fourth quarter 2021 and the next few years.

Stefan Dahlbo, CEO

ALFA LAVAL MOVES TO FLEMINGSBERG

The area covers just over 17,000 sqm with an option for additional office space. The lease is for 22 years at an annual rent of roughly SEK 45m. Alfa Laval is expected to take up occupancy in Q2 2025. The investment amounts to approximately SEK 670m, excluding land acquisition.

"We're delighted at the confidence Alfa Laval has shown in us by choosing Flemingsberg as the site of their future development and operations", comments CEO Stefan Dahlbo.

Earnings Jan–Sep 20211

Profit after tax for the period was SEK 3,142m (2,133), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 9.72 (6.50). Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK 3,989m (2,728). Slightly higher profit from property management and positive changes in value for both properties and derivatives meant that profit before tax increased in comparison with the year-earlier period.

THIRD QUARTER IN BRIEF

  • Heightened activity on the rental market, with more viewings, negotiations and completions
  • New lettings totalled SEK 88m (22).
  • Net lettings amounted to SEK 74m (–16).
  • Rental income totalled SEK 721m (696).
  • The surplus ratio was 79 per cent (77).
  • Profit from property management totalled SEK 404m (376).
  • The property portfolio exhibited unrealised value growth of SEK 881m (391), of which projects accounted for SEK 480m (149).
  • Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK 124m (–24).
  • After-tax profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,096m (574).

OPERATIONAL TARGETS

  • Investment volume of approximately SEK 2,500m per year.
  • Net lettings at least SEK 80m per year.
  • Surplus ratio 75 per cent.

REVENUES AND EARNINGS

Rental income amounted to SEK 2,143m (2,103) and net operating income to SEK 1,616m (1,584). The increase in revenue was mainly due to acquisitions and occupancy of project properties. In an identical portfolio, income rose by approximately 1 per cent. The increase in property costs mainly related to winter costs such as heating and snow removal. Net operating income in an identical portfolio rose by approximately 1 per cent (5). The surplus ratio was 75 per cent (75). The increase in central administration was attributable to one-off costs for Fabege's new head office.

Net interest items amounted to SEK – 365m (–346). The increase in interest expenses was mainly due to a higher volume of loans. Ground rent amounted to SEK –26m (–22).

The share in profit of associated companies was SEK −20m (−43) and related primarily to the period's capital contribution to Arenabolaget.

Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 56m (25) and related mainly to gains on the transfer of Selfoss 1 to the joint venture company that developed housing at the property.

Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 2,420m (1,916). The unrealised changes in the value of the investment property portfolio of SEK 1,698m (1,581) were mainly attributable to improved cash flows and lower yield requirements. The average yield requirement declined by 0.04 percentage points to 3.84 per cent (3.88 at year-end).

The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 722m (335), primarily due to development gains in the major project properties and upward revision in the value of development rights. Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK 392m (–316).

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 1,548m (1,565), representing a surplus ratio of 79 per cent (79). The occupancy rate was 90 per cent (93). Profit from property management totalled SEK 1,114m (1,137). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 1,698m (1,581).

The Property Development segment generated net operating income of SEK 68m (19), giving a surplus ratio of 38 per cent (17). Profit from property management totalled SEK 5m (–33). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 722m (335).

Earnings from transactions totalled SEK 56m (25).

TAX

The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –847m (–595). Tax was calculated at a rate of 20.6 per cent (21.4) on taxable earnings. The interest deduction limitations are not expected to have a material effect on taxes paid in the current year.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND NET ASSET VALUE

Equity at the end of the period amounted to SEK 43,007m (41,542) and the equity ratio was 51 per cent (52). Dividends decided upon but not paid have been expensed and therefore reduced equity. Equity per share attributable to Parent Company shareholders totalled SEK 134 (127). EPRA NRV was SEK 164 per share (155).

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,141m (1,140). Changes in working capital had an impact on cash flow of SEK 46m (11). Investing activities had an impact of SEK –1,748m (593) on cash flow, while cash flow from financing activities totalled SEK 626m (–1,041). In investing activities, cash flow is driven by property transactions and projects. Overall, cash and cash equivalents increased by SEK 65m (703) during the period.

Financing

Fabege employs long-term credit facilities subject to fixed terms and conditions. The company's creditors mainly comprise the major Nordic banks and investors on the capital market.

FINANCING

The company strives for a balance between different forms of financing in both the capital and bank market and long-term relationships with the major financiers have high priority. Fabege's bank facilities are supplemented with a MTN programme of SEK 12bn, a commercial paper programme of SEK 5bn and max borrowing of SEK 6bn via SFF's secured MTN programme.

Fabege has a firm belief in the ability of the financial market to contribute to a more sustainable society, and is keen to play an active role in its transition towards greater accountability. The target of 100 per cent green financing was achieved at the end of last year. In June, the company took the next step in expanding its sustainable financing in the form of a loan linked to the EU's new taxonomy. In addition to stringent energy efficiency requirements, this includes climate analyses that assess risks associated with climate change such as flooding, strong winds, intense heat and other extreme weather events. In September, a credit facility of SEK 1,200m was extended by three years.

Demand in the capital market has been good during the quarter and we see great interest in Fabege's green bonds. We issued SEK 650m for five years in early September.

Demand is also very good for special green commercial paper in the commercial paper market. Outstanding commercial paper and bonds amounted to SEK 13.4bn in total at the end of the quarter.

Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 24m, which mainly related to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and costs relating to bond and commercial paper programmes. During the period, interest totalling SEK 12m (19) relating to project properties was capitalised.

GREEN FINANCING

Our green framework allows us to issue green bonds and green commercial paper and to link other loans to the framework. Green financing offers Fabege better conditions both with banks and the capital market, and access to more financing alternatives. The green framework has increased the proportion of green financing sources. All Fabege's creditors can now offer green financing, and the target of 100 per cent green financing was achieved just before year-end 2020/21. Our green financing was complemented in June 2021 by a taxonomy-adapted loan that satisfies the EU taxonomy's proposed criteria for green financing.

Operations Jan–Sep 2021 1

Activity in the rental market increased and net lettings in the third quarter totalled SEK 74m. Accumulated over the first half of the year, net lettings amounted to SEK 130m. Renegotiations made a positive contribution of 11 per cent towards the rental value in renegotiated leases. Projects proceeded according to plan.

BREAKDOWN OF MARKET VALUE, 30/09/2021

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Fabege's property management and urban and property development activities are concentrated on a few selected submarkets in and around Stockholm: Stockholm inner city, Solna, Hammarby Sjöstad and Flemingsberg. On 30 September 2021, Fabege owned 90 properties with a total rental value of SEK 3.4bn, lettable floor space of 1.2m sqm and a carrying amount of SEK 80.4bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 10.6bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 90 per cent (91). The occupancy rate in the investment property portfolio was 90 per cent (93).

During the period, 101 (73) new leases were signed with a combined rental value of SEK 231m (115), and 82 per cent of the space pertained to green leases. Lease terminations amounted to SEK 101m (111). Net lettings amounted to SEK 130m (4). Leases totalling SEK 153m (82) were renegotiated, with an average rise in rental value of 11 per cent (19). The retention rate during the period was 76 per cent (73).

CHANGES IN THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

During the first quarter, Sadelplatsen 1 was divested. Four properties relating to housing development rights in Haga Norra were sold to the joint venture company that Fabege owns together with Brabo, which is developing tenant-owned apartments on the properties. Fabege also entered into two land allocation agreements, one with the City of Solna and one with Huddinge Municipality. In connection with this, an additional purchase price of SEK 270m was paid for previously acquired properties in Flemingsberg. In the third quarter, SEK 176m was paid to the City of Solna relating to the acquisition of housing development rights in Huvudsta.

CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF PROPERTIES

The property portfolio is valued using a wellestablished process. The entire property portfolio is independently valued at least once annually. Roughly 20 per cent of the

portfolio was independently valued in the third quarter, while the remaining properties were internally valued based on the most recent independent valuations. The total market value at the end of the period was SEK 80.4bn (76.6). Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 2,420m (1,916). The average yield requirement declined by 0.04 percentage points to 3.84 per cent (3.88) during the period. The change in the value of the investment property portfolio amounted to SEK 1,698m (1,581). The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 722m (335). The change in value of the project portfolio was mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

Realised changes in value of SEK 56m related to gains from the sale of Selfoss 1, Kista, to the joint venture company that has been developing housing at the property.

PROJECTS AND INVESTMENTS

The purpose of Fabege's project investments in the investment property portfolio is to reduce vacancy rates and increase rents in the property portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and values. During the period, investments in existing properties and projects totalled SEK 1,458m (1,404), including SEK 1,100m (999) pertaining to investments in project and development properties.

The capital invested in the investment property portfolio, which amounted to SEK 358m (405) and encompassed, for example, energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value.

COMPLETED PROJECTS

During the first quarter, construction of Bilia's new premises at the property Hagalund 2:11, Solna, was completed and the tenant moved in. In the second quarter, the projects relating to Stigbygeln 2 and Nationalarenan 3, both in Arenastaden, were completed. On completion the properties were transferred to the investment property portfolio.

MAJOR ONGOING PROJECTS

The Poolen 1 project is progressing according to plan. Work is currently underway on the roofing and brickwork of the facade, as well as completion of the internal office areas. The property includes just over 28,000 sqm of lettable office space, and will be constructed in a 3D reallotment above the swimming pool being built by Solna Municipality. The investment is estimated at SEK 1,090m. The occupancy rate is 82 per cent.

Redevelopment work at Glädjen 2, Stadshagen, is ongoing, following the premises being vacated by former tenant LRF. The investment is estimated at SEK 177m. The occupancy rate is 33 per cent. The first tenant moved in in June 2021. The project is now proceeding with customisations for the next tenant, who will be taking up occupancy in September 2022.

The project regarding the development of part of Bocken 39, Kungsgatan, for Convendum has started, with the design and demolition work. The investment is expected to amount to SEK 194m and the premises will be completed in time for Convendum to occupy them in July 2022.

The project relating to the construction of premises for the Royal Opera and Royal Dramatic Theatre at the Regulatorn 4 property (formerly part of Regulatorn 1) in Flemingsberg has been initiated, with project planning and procurement of certain building services. The local development plan entered into force in June 2021. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2022 and the property will be ready for occupation in June 2024. The investment is estimated at SEK 430m.

The Board of Directors has made an investment decision regarding the acquisition of land and construction of offices and laboratories for Alfa Laval in Flemingsberg. Fabege has entered into a land allocation agreement with Huddinge Municipality for the site in question and work is underway on a local development plan. The investment is estimated at SEK 670m, excluding land acquisition. The building is expected to be ready for occupancy during the second quarter of 2025.

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

Fabege and Svenska Hyreshus AB have been leading a housing development project in Kista via co-owned Selfoss Invest AB. There are 11 apartments left to be sold of the project's 276 apartments.

Fabege's unrealised gain of SEK 58m on the sale of Selfoss 1 to the joint venture company was reversed and recognised as a realised change in value during the second quarter. Final settlement on the project will be completed once the last remaining apartments are occupied.

The housing project being conducted in cooperation with Brabo in Haga Norra is proceeding according to plan. The project includes 418 apartments that are being produced in a 3D reallotment above the facility that Fabege has built for Bilia. The investment totals approximately SEK 1.1bn. The project is being financed with an owner's loan and external construction loan. The reallotment process was completed during the first quarter and Fabege sold the four properties concerned to the joint venture company. Work is continuing on completing the frame, installations and furnishings. The first tenants began moving in in August 2021, and the project is expected to be completed at year-end 2022/23. In the two first tranches of sales, which involve 268 apartments, tenancy contracts have been signed on almost 150 apartments and non-binding booking agreements have been signed for 111 apartments. As the project is completed, the booking agreements will be converted into tenancy contracts. Sales of the third phase started in mid-October and comprise 80 apartments, of which 45 have been signed through booking agreements.

The development of the property Lagern 3, Råsunda, into tenant-owned apartments is proceeding according to plan, with occupancy scheduled between November 2021 and February 2022. The project is being managed together with the TB Group in a 50/50 per cent joint venture company. The investment is estimated to be SEK 288m, excluding purchase of the land. 121 (90 per cent) of the project's 134 apartments have been sold via binding preliminary contracts.

The current joint venture projects are being recognised in accordance with the equity method. Income recognition will not take place until completion of the projects.

HAGA NORRA

In Haga Norra, we are creating a district that is vibrant 24/7, with a mix of homes and offices, locals and visitors. We have now started planning and designing phase 2 of the project, which will involve an additional 360 apartments and 28,000 sqm of office space.

About Fabege's work with sustainability

Our ambition does not stop at developing sustainable city districts, properties and premises. We aim to contribute to a sustainable Stockholm. Our sustainability strategy is an integral part of our business concept, business model and corporate culture.

Goals 2030

  • Carbon neutral property management.
  • Halving the climate impact of project development.

55 kWh/sqm

Average energy consumption Jan–Sep

GRESB 2021

In 2021, Fabege once again achieved 93 points in GRESB's sustainability survey.

Goals & strategy

URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Work is underway, with the help of Citylab, to ensure a sustainable Arenastaden, in partnership with the City of Solna and Sweden Green Building Council. A brand new district is being built in Flemingsbergsdalen, and we are now implementing the goals of the area's sustainability programme in our daily urban development work. This programme has also been developed in accordance with Citylab. Citylab is Sweden's first certification system for sustainable urban development.

REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT IN PROJECTS

In 2020, work began on retroactively calculating our climate impact from Scope 3 emissions during the base year of 2019, which is a major challenge. We also set up the ambitious target of reducing our Scope 3 carbon footprint by half by 2030. Achieving this target will require us to use innovative approaches in our project development, involving reuse, choice of materials, new technology and imposing stringent requirements during procurement processes. Project design work has begun on Parkhuset in Solna Business Park, which is a pilot project that aims to halve the carbon footprint during construction.

CARBON NEUTRAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BY 2030

Fabege has a long-term, target-based and integrated approach towards creating more sustainable properties. Our overriding longterm goal is to have zero net emissions from property management by 2030. By this we mean that we will have control over all the emissions associated with our operations, and that we will minimise emissions to the greatest possible extent using the tools available. We will compensate for emissions over which we have no control via carbon offsetting, for example investments in carbon sinks such as forests, or additional wind and solar parks.

Fabege has been connected to the Science Based Targets initiative since 2019, and has thus taken an initial step in reorganising the business to help achieve the 1.5-degree target.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGETS

Fabege's energy efficiency targets are divided into phases. In 2019 we were already exceeding the Swedish Energy Agreement's target of 50 per cent more efficient energy use in 2030 compared with 2005. In 2020, Fabege's average energy use was 74 kWh/sqm (cumulative 12-month result). 2020 was an unusual year, with a mild winter and low energy consumption due to the fact that many offices were not used because tenants decided to let their employees work from home. The target for 2023, of average energy consumption of 77 kWh/sqm, remains the same. The portfolio is divided into two parts: newer properties that have received planning permission since 2012 and have a target of 50 kWh/sqm, and older properties that have a target of 85 kWh/sqm. In the January to September period 2021, average energy consumption was 55 kWh/sqm, which was slightly higher than the same period last year. The increase was due to a colder winter and a greater need for cooling at the beginning of the summer compared to the previous year.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION OF PROPERTIES

Fabege's objective is for the company's entire property portfolio to be certified to BREEAM-SE/BREEAM In-Use standard. Fabege's new builds are certified in accordance with BREEAM-SE, and our aim is to achieve the level of 'Excellent'. Of Fabege's 90 properties, 59 were certified at the end of the period. Overall, this represents 82 per cent of the combined area of Fabege's existing portfolio. The properties that have not yet begun certification relate to land and development property for future project development.

In 2021, work will continue on upgrading several certifications in the existing portfolio

GREEN FABEGE ACCORDING TO CICERO

In autumn 2020, CICERO Shades of Green carried out an assessment of Fabege. The results reveal that 95 per cent of Fabege's revenue and investments for 2020 were classified as green. Furthermore, Fabege has received CICERO's highest rating of 'Excellent' in an assessment of the company's sustainability governance. Find out more at: www.fabege.com.

EU TAXONOMY

Fabege intends to submit a preliminary report in accordance with EU taxonomy objectives 1 and 2 in connection with the 2021 annual accounts.

and during the period two properties achieved the 'Very Good' level.

Five properties have energy performance certificates at EPC level A, which corresponds to almost 20 per cent of the total area of the investment property portfolio.

SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

Fabege collaborates with municipalities, authorities, other property owners and associations to create safe and attractive areas. The focus is on education, leisure time, health and work.

Examples of measures:

  • Homework club in Flemingsberg
  • Changers Hub in Huddinge
  • TalangAkademin in Huddinge
  • Support for Stockholm City Mission
  • Street Gallery, Solna Business Park
  • Support to local sports clubs
  • Pep Parks in Solna
  • Active member of Samverkan Huddinge

ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

This is a quarterly follow-up of Fabege's work with sustainability issues. The starting point is Fabege's annual Sustainability Report. The quarterly report has not been prepared in accordance with the GRI guidelines and therefore does not address certain issues. An overall review of our sustainability work is published once a year in the Sustainability Report; further information is available at www.fabege.com.

RENTAL VALUE PER CATEGORY

OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS

Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations relate primarily to changes in rents, vacancies and interest rates. The effect of the changes on consolidated profit, including a sensitivity analysis, and a more detailed description of risks and opportunities, are presented in the section on Risks and opportunities in the 2020 Annual Report (pages 48–57).

Properties are recognised at fair value and changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. Effects of changes in value on consolidated profit, the equity/assets ratio and the loan-tovalue ratio are also presented in the section on Risks and opportunities and the sensitivity analysis in the 2020 Annual Report. Financial risk, defined as the risk of insufficient access to long-term funding through loans, and Fabege's management of this risk are also described in the Risks and opportunities section of the 2020 Annual Report (pages 48–57).

Fabege's aims for the capital structure are to have an equity/assets ratio of at least 35 per cent and an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.2. The target for the loan-to-value ratio is a maximum of 50 per cent. The debt ratio will amount to a maximum of 13.

Since the start of the pandemic, we have commented in particular on the risks and impact of the pandemic. As we no longer see specific risks associated with the pandemic, this section has been deleted. No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have therefore been implemented following publication of the 2020 Annual Report.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

Expenses for the running and maintenance of properties are subject to seasonal variations. For example, cold and snowy winters give rise to higher costs for heating and snow clearance, while hot summers result in higher cooling costs. Activity in the rental market is seasonal. Normally, more business transactions are completed in the second and fourth quarters, whereby net lettings in these quarters are often higher.

MARKET OUTLOOK

After the summer, there was a significant increase in activity on the rental market, with more enquiries, viewings and contract completions. Tenants have started to return to their offices in greater numbers, but it is still too early to see any clear trends in the future use and design of offices.

Fabege enjoys a strong financial position, which enables us to harness any opportunities that may arise. Several of our key performance indicators are stronger now than they were at the end of 2020. Our properties are modern, well-managed and situated in attractive locations. We have stable customers. Fabege's employees are motivated and capable. We are well prepared to take on the challenges and opportunities open to us on the market over the coming year.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fabege prepares its consolidated financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are submitted both in the notes and in other sections of the Interim Report.

The company has received government support in the form of the rent support package, which is recognised as a reduction in rental income. This is recognised in profit or loss in the same period as the decline in income for which the support is intended, to the extent it is deemed reasonably likely that the conditions have been satisfied and the support has been received/will be received. There are no contingent liabilities linked to the government support. The Group has not received any other forms of government support.

The Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the latest annual report. Other new or revised IFRS standards or other IFRIC interpretations that came into effect after 1 January 2021 have not had any material impact on consolidated financial statements. The Parent Company prepares its financial statements according to RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the latest annual report.

Review report

We have conducted a limited assurance review of the interim report for Fabege AB (publ) for the 1 January 2021 – 30 September 2021 period. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our limited assurance review.

Scope and focus of the limited assurance review

We conducted our limited assurance review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A limited assurance review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other limited assurance procedures. The procedures performed in a limited assurance review vary in nature from, and are considerably less in scope than for a reasonable assurance engagement conducted in accordance with the ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance conclusion.

Conclusion

Based on the limited assurance procedures we have performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that this interim report has not been prepared for the Group, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Notes

DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are measured at fair value in accordance with Level 2. The derivatives portfolio is measured at the present value of future cash flows. Changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. Changes in value are of an accounting nature and have no impact on cash flow. At the due date, the market value of derivative instruments is always zero. The valuation assumptions have not changed significantly compared to the last annual report.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

On the balance sheet date, contingent liabilities comprised guarantees and commitments in favour of associated companies of SEK 553m (358) and other 0 (0).

SEGMENT REPORTING – CLASSIFICATIONS AND RECLASSIFICATIONS DURING THE PERIOD

In the first quarter, the project at Hagalund 2:11 (the Bilia project) was completed and the property was reclassified from a project property to an investment property. During the second quarter, the projects at Stigbygeln 2 and Nationalarenan 3, both in Arenastaden, were completed and the properties were reclassified from project to investment properties.

In accordance with IFRS 8, segments are presented from the point of view of management, divided into the following segments: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions. Rental income and property expenses, as well as realised and unrealised changes in the value of properties, are directly attributable to properties in each segment (direct income and expenses). In cases where a property changes character during the year, earnings attributable to the property are allocated to each segment based on the period of time that the property belonged to each segment. Central administration and items in net financial expense have been allocated to the segments in a standardised manner based on each segment's share of the total property value (indirect income and expenses). Property assets are directly attributed to each segment and recognised on the balance sheet date.

This is Fabege

Fabege is one of Sweden's leading property companies, focusing mainly on letting and managing office premises as well as city district development. The company offers modern premises in prime locations in fast-growing submarkets in the Stockholm region: Stockholm inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad.

Fabege offers attractive and efficient premises, mainly offices but also retail and other premises. The concentration of properties to well-contained clusters leads to greater customer proximity and, coupled with Fabege's extensive local expertise, creates a solid foundation for efficient property management and high occupancy. At 30 September 2021, Fabege owned 90 properties with a combined market value of SEK 80.4bn. The rental value was SEK 3.4bn.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

Fabege works with sustainable city district development, with a primary focus on commercial properties within a limited number of submarkets in prime locations in the Stockholm area.

Fabege aims to create value by managing, improving and actively adjusting its property portfolio through sales and acquisitions.

BUSINESS MODEL

Fabege conducts activities in three business areas: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions.

STRATEGY FOR GROWTH

Fabege's strategy is to create value by managing and developing the property portfolio and through transactions, acquiring and divesting properties with the aim of increasing potential in the property portfolio. Fabege's properties are located in the most liquid market in Sweden. Attractive locations lead to a low vacancy rate in the property management portfolio. Modern properties permit flexible solutions and attract customers. With its concentrated portfolio and high-profile local presence, investments aimed at enhancing the appeal of an area benefit many of Fabege's customers.

VALUE-DRIVING FACTORS

A number of external factors affect Fabege's business activities and these, together with the transaction volume and trends in the office market in Stockholm, represent the prerequisites for the company's success.

Stockholm is growing

Stockholm is one of the five metropolitan areas in Western Europe where the population is increasing at the fastest rate. According to forecasts, the population of Stockholm County will continue to grow over the next 20 years. The most significant growth is among people in the active labour force, which is boosting demand for office premises.

Changing demand

New technology and new working methods are fuelling demand for flexible and space-efficient premises in prime locations. Peripheral services and effective communication links in the form of public transport are in increasing demand, as are environmentally certified offices and green leases.

Economic trends

The property market is impacted by trends in both the Swedish and the global economy. Lower vacancy rates in central Stockholm and a stronger economic climate have historically meant rising rents for a number of years. The long-term effects of the pandemic are still uncertain.

Sustainable urban development

Sustainability issues are becoming increasingly important in terms of both individual properties and entire areas. Interest in environmental considerations involving choice of materials and energy-saving measures is on the rise. Demand is increasing for premises in areas with a favourable mix of offices, retail, service and residential units, as well as excellent transport links and interest in the environment.

Business model

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The essence of Fabege's operations is finding the right premises for a customer's specific requirements and ensuring that the customer is content. This is accomplished through long-term work and based on close dialogue with the customer, thus building mutual trust and loyalty.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

High-quality property development is the second key cornerstone of our business. Fabege has long-standing expertise in pursuing extensive property development projects, with the aim of attracting long-term tenants to properties that have not yet been fully developed and can be redesigned based on the customer's specific requirements.

TRANSACTIONS

Property transactions are an integral part of Fabege's business model and make a significant contribution to the company's earnings. The company continuously analyses its property portfolio to take advantage of opportunities to generate capital growth through acquisitions and divestments.

Definitions

The company presents certain financial performance measures in the Interim Report that are not defined according to IFRS. The company considers that these measures provide valuable supplementary information for investors and company management, as they enable an assessment and benchmarking of the company's presentation. Since not all companies calculate financial performance measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial performance measures should not therefore be regarded as substitutes for measures defined according to IFRS. The following key performance indicators are not defined according to IFRS, unless otherwise stated.

ACTUAL DEFERRED TAX

Estimated actual deferred tax has been calculated at approximately 4 per cent based on a discount rate of 3 per cent. Furthermore, it has been assumed that loss carryforwards are realised over four years with a nominal tax rate of 21.4 per cent, which gives a net present value for deferred tax assets of 19.7 per cent. The calculation is also based on the property portfolio being realised over 50 years, with 10 per cent being sold directly with a nominal tax rate of 20.6 per cent and the remaining 90 per cent being sold indirectly via companies with a nominal tax rate amounting to 6 per cent, which gives a net present value for deferred tax liabilities of 4 per cent.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES PER SHARE

Cash flow from operating activities (after changes in working capital) divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

DEBT RATIO

Interest-bearing liabilities divided by rolling twelve-month net operating income less central administration.

DEBT/EQUITY RATIO

Interest-bearing liabilities divided by shareholders' equity.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES*

Properties in which a conversion or extension is in progress or planned that has a significant impact on the property's net operating income. Net operating income is affected either directly by the project or by limitations on lettings prior to impending improvement work.
