CREATING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS

Target: 75%
INVESTMENT VOLUME

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


Target: SEK 80m per year
A quarter has probably rarely, or never, comprised two such distinct halves as the first quarter of 2020. The year began with new, record levels of rents, property prices and yield requirements. However, the black swan of Covid-19 flew in during the second half of the quarter and clouded our world.
As a result, the longest economic upturn we have ever had came to an abrupt halt, and, just over a month later, we are now talking about the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It has all happened incredibly quickly in a tremendously dramatic way. In many business areas, we are talking about a drop in sales of 70-80 per cent, or even more.
Despite this, Fabege's first quarter will go down in the records as a strong one. At the end of January, we received the proceeds of the sale of DN-huset (approximately SEK 3.5 billion) and at the end of the quarter our loan-to-value ratio was 32 per cent. In other words, we have an extremely strong balance sheet. Moreover, many of the property transactions during the quarter in the Stockholm market were at levels well above our valuations at the turn of the year. In addition, good upside potential in our rental renegotiations, essentially robust and stable tenants, considerable potential in our ongoing and future projects and a strong organisation meant that we were in a good position when the crisis hit. Our key ratios performed well during the quarter and, although the market at the end of the quarter was more cautious, our valuations rose.
Our task now is to emerge from this crisis as an even better company than we were before. Irrespective of our strengths, we are, of course, affected by what is happening. I, like many others amongst us, experienced the crises in the late 1980s, the property crisis in the early 1990s, the Russia crisis, the IT bubble and the financial crisis just over ten years ago. The list is long. All the crises have been different, but nothing has been as dramatic as this one. This started as a health crisis, and has led to a financial crisis that we are not yet able to quantify. There is enormous human suffering and the economic consequences are going to be significant. Many countries have closed down completely. The resulting uncertainty is leading to substantial reductions in consumption and investment. Basically, the economy has come to a grinding halt.
We need to be prepared for a lengthy period of uncertainty which will affect both our day-to-day lives and our business. We do not know how long it will last, but we know it will come to an end. We are working hard, with our tenants, to get ourselves through this period. There is more information on the next page about what we are currently doing internally and externally with, and for, our tenants, suppliers and the community.
We are jointly facing many challenges – a downturn in the economy, probably even a recession, high levels of unemployment and businesses having to close. It is essential that governments and central banks act swiftly to create economic stimuli that will mitigate the effects.
I am glad, and grateful, that Fabege is entering into this period in a strong position. Working with our tenants, we are well placed to get through it and also to seize the opportunities that a crisis of this sort presents. In doing this, however, we will demonstrate the utmost respect for the situation, individuals and the community, and will act with due sensitivity.
We are working – at present, mostly from our homes – in order to emerge from this crisis better and stronger.
Stefan Dahlbo, CEO
The majority of Fabege's customers are large, stable companies. However, we also have customers in the service sector who are now asking to defer rental payments. We are making arrangements with customers on a case-by-case basis, focusing on transfers to monthly payments or deferrals with payment to be made during the remaining term of the contract. We are pleased that the government is providing state support for rents to help companies in sectors that are particularly affected and are in favour of this initiative. However, we await clarification and further details of the government's proposal.
In total, we have granted deferral of Q2 rents in the sum of SEK 84m, of which SEK 37m represents transfers to monthly payments that are expected to be paid during the current quarter.
The unease in the financial markets has so far had only a limited impact on Fabege's financing. The vacation of Trängkåren 7 in January meant that, after loan repayments, we had some surplus liquidity. The credit agreements due to be renegotiated in the first quarter were finalised before the start of the crisis, and we extended fixed-rate periods when the price of interest rate swaps dipped at the beginning of March. Since the end of the quarter, we have to date issued SEK 1,125m in the commercial paper market, which has now come back to life after having been at a complete standstill for a few weeks in March.
Having good access to thus far unutilised credit facilities provides security at a time when there is great uncertainty in the capital market. No bank facilities are due to lapse during 2020. In total, SEK 1.8bn of bonds are due to mature during 2020. We expect to replace bonds due to mature in April and May by drawing on existing bank credit facilities or via the commercial paper market in so far as there is availability. If necessary, we will be able to refinance the remaining maturities during the year using existing bank credit facilities. However, our aim is to issue new bonds if conditions in the market are right.
In the current uncertain climate, we are grateful for the good, long-standing relationships we have with banks and other credit providers. Our strategy of spreading our financing across as many sources as possible, even though some have cost us more during a period when capital market financing has been extremely cost-effective, is now a strength.
All our projects are proceeding, and on the whole according to plan. By planning and being proactive, we have thus far been able to staff the projects and adhere to our schedules. In some cases we have been advised of obstacles, but these are of a more general nature and at present are not causing any real delays. If it seems likely that there could be delays in delivery of materials, we will investigate alternatives. As things stand, it looks as though we are on schedule.
It is still difficult to assess the impact of the coronavirus and its effects on the transaction markets. However, what is clear is that it is more difficult to get external financing in the short term, which means that there will be a fall in the number of potential buyers.
The valuation of the property portfolio follows a well-established process. Around 40 percent of the portfolio was valued by an external party prior to the end of the quarter. Higher rents and lower yield requirements meant higher values, but the external valuations were adversely affected by market conditions. The initial valuations we received at the beginning of March were corrected after the valuation companies had adopted a more cautious position on both rental trends and yield requirements.
All employees apart from our technical operations staff are working from home as far as possible. Technical Operations have been divided into two teams working one week on and one week off, the aim being to reduce the risk of spreading infection as much as we can. Meetings and collaboration are largely taking place digitally and we are providing various forms of support to make it easier for employees to work from home.
We are proud to have dedicated staff who are doing all they can to help keep the business running.
We will be affected by the coronavirus situation, more than our current statements suggest. However, our strong financial position means we are well placed to cope even in difficult times.
During the first quarter of the year, Fabege reported growth in its net operating income while earnings from property management saw a slight decline. Property values continued to rise. The social shutdown due to the Covid-19 did not have a direct impact on earnings from property management in the period.
Profit after tax for the period was SEK 1,574m (1,148), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 4.78 (3.47). Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,979m (1,449). Earnings from property management fell slightly, but higher changes in value meant that profit before tax rose in comparison with the previous period.
Rental income decreased to SEK 711m (718) while net operating income increased to SEK 520m (509)
. The divestment of Pelaren 1 and Trängkåren 7 meant that rental income fell by SEK 43 million against a comparable period. In an identical portfolio, rental income grew by approximately 6 per cent (19), of which almost half related to growth through tenants moving into completed project properties. The remaining increase was primarily growth due to new lettings and renegotiated rent levels. The lower running costs were mainly due to a mild winter with little snow. In addition, as a result of the new tax assessment values, the amount set aside for property tax was too high at the start of 2019. Net operating income in an identical portfolio rose by approximately 9 per cent (19). Overall, the surplus ratio amounted to 73 per cent (71).
Realized changes in value of SEK 25 M (0) mainly relate to the divestment of a land property in Vallentuna.
Total unrealised changes in value amounted to SEK 1,829m (1,324). The unrealised change in the value of the investment property portfolio of SEK 1,687m (683) was mainly attributable to increased rent levels for new lettings and renegotiations and lower yield requirements. The average yield requirement declined to 3.89 per cent (3.97). The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 142m (641), primarily due to development gains in the major project properties.
The share in earnings of associated companies was SEK −11m (−7) and mainly related to a capital contribution to Arenabolaget.
Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK −243m (−238). The extension of the fixed-rate term and lower long-term interest rates led to an increase in the deficit value during the period. Net interest expense amounted to SEK –111m (–108), due to somewhat higher average interest rates.
The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 518m (503), representing a surplus ratio of 75 per cent (73). The occupancy rate was 94 per cent (95). Earnings from property management totalled SEK 384m (388). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 1,687m (683).
The Property Development segment generated a net operating income of SEK 2m (6), giving a surplus ratio of 12 per cent (22). Earnings from property management totalled SEK −15m (−22). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 142m (641).
Earnings from transactions totalled SEK 25m (0).

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. The company is striving for a balance between different forms of financing on both the capital and banking markets, with long-term relationships with the major financiers having high priority.
Fabege wants to play an active part in the transition of the financial market towards greater accountability, and the company is continuing with its efforts to achieve the goal of all financing being sustainable. At the end of the quarter, the company had green bonds of SEK 6,850m outstanding within the green framework. During the first quarter, green bank financing increased by a further SEK 1,925m in connection with the refinancing of two loans. Find out more about Fabege's green financing at www.fabege.se/gronfinansiering.
In March, further ten-year interest rate swaps of SEK 400m were agreed at 0.185 per cent. At the end of the quarter, Fabege's derivatives portfolio comprised interest rate swaps totalling SEK 17,150m with terms of maturity extending through 2030 and carrying fixed interest at annual rates of between −0.18 and 1.35 per cent before margins. The average fixed-rate period was 5.1 years.
In April, the commercial papers market came back to life after having been at a standstill for several weeks. Prices are considerably higher than before the crisis, but this should nevertheless be seen as a good sign. So far in April, Fabege has issued company certificates of SEK 1,125 million.
Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 7m, mainly pertaining to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and costs relating to bond and commercial paper programmes. During the quarter, interest totalling SEK 6m (4) relating to project properties was capitalised.

The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK −405m (-301). Current tax of SEK 25m related mainly to the reversal of current tax after retesting of prior years' tax assessments. Tax was calculated at a rate of 21.4 per cent on taxable earnings. In accordance with the new corporate taxation method, the deferred tax liability has been recalculated at the new tax rate of 20.6 per cent. The valuation of the loss carryforwards that are expected to be utilised in 2020 has been calculated based on the current tax rate for the year of 21.4 per cent.
The new regulations relating to restrictions on interest deductions apply as of 1 January 2019. Fabege is of the opinion that the new rules will not have any material impact on tax paid. For 2020, the new rules mean increased utilisation of tax loss carryforwards of just over SEK 300m. This incurred a greater cost of SEK 66m for the 2020 full year, a quarter of which is reflected in the tax calculation for the first quarter.
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 41,343m (40,068) at the end of the period and the equity/assets ratio was 55 per cent (52). Equity per share attributable to Parent Company shareholders totalled SEK 126 (121). EPRA NAV was SEK 151 per share (145) and EPRA NNNAV amounted to SEK 144 per share (138).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 395m (370). Changes in working capital had an impact on cash flow of SEK 3m (93). Investing activities had an impact of SEK 3,014m (−655) on cash flow, while financing activities had an impact of SEK −3,241m (243) on cash flow. In investing activities, cash flow was driven by property transactions and projects. Cash and cash equivalents changed by a total of SEK 171m (51) during the period.
Fabege's Board of Directors has adopted the following
financial targets for the business.
The Royal Swedish Opera (Operan) and the Royal Dramatic Theatre (Dramaten) have signed a lease with Fabege to relocate parts of their operations from Gäddviken, in Nacka to Flemingsberg. The lease marks the start of the next phase of Fabege's urban development plans in Flemingsberg.
Fabege will create the theatres' studios and workshops (including spaces for metalwork, carpentry, painting and decorating), two rehearsal rooms and costume storage in a brand new building of approximately 12,000 sqm, which is expected to be completed in 2024. Our ambitious plans for Flemingsberg are now starting to become a reality.
6 Fabege | Interim report Q1 2020 "The planning programme has been out for consultation and our first major lease is now in place," says Stefan Dahlbo, Fabege's President and CEO. "Naturally we're delighted to share the news that Operan and Dramaten are choosing this location for some of their activities".

Trängkåren 7 (DN-huset) was vacated during the quarter. The projects are progressing according to plan. Yield requirements fell slightly, which meant continued value growth in the property portfolio.
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. At 31 March 2020, Fabege owned 86 properties with a total rental value of SEK 3.1bn, lettable floor space of 1.2m sqm and a book value of SEK 73.0bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 8.3bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 94 per cent (94). The occupancy rate in the property management portfolio was 94 per cent (95).
During the period, 37 new leases were signed at a total rental value of SEK 65m (36), of which 93 per cent pertained to green leases. Lease terminations amounted to SEK 50m (143). Net lettings totalled SEK 15m (−107). Rental contracts totalling SEK 50m were renegotiated, with an average rise in rental value of 11 per cent, reflecting the persistently strong trend on the rental market during the year. The retention rate during the period was 73 per cent (63).
During the quarter, a land property in Vallentuna was sold for a purchase price of SEK 58 million. Realized changes in value amounted to SEK 25 M (0) and are mainly attributed to this transaction.
Fabege and Peab are joint investors in a co-owned garage property in Råsunda, Solna. The property is being accounted for using proportionate consolidation and was included in Fabege's accounts at the end of the quarter with a property value of SEK 35m.
The valuation of the property portfolio follows a well-established process. The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Just over 40 per cent of the properties were externally valued in the first quarter and the remainder properties were internally valued based on the most recent external valuations. The total market value at the end of the period was SEK 73.0bn (74.3).
Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 1,829m (1,324). The average yield requirement declined to 3.89 per cent (3.97). The change in value in the investment property portfolio of SEK 1,687m (683) was principally due to higher rent levels and lower yield requirements. The valuations have been adversely affected by the situation in the market. The initial external valuations received by Fabege at the beginning of March were corrected after the valuation companies had adopted a more cautious position on both rental trends and yield requirements.
The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 142m (641). The change in value of the project portfolio was mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

1 The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the period January–March 2019 and for balance sheet items as at 31 December 2019.
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 86 properties, 55 were certified, or in the process of certification, at the end of the period. Overall, this represents 81 per cent of the total 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 the current year, work is underway on upgrading several certifications in the existing portfolio. During the period, Farao 8 was awarded BREEAM-in-use certification at 'Excellent' level. Pyramiden 4 and Signalen 3 both received their final BREEAM-SE certification at 'Excellent' level.
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 on the capital market, and access to more financing alternatives. The new green framework has increased the proportion of green financing sources. All Fabege's creditors bar one can now offer green financing. The aim is for 100 per cent of the company's financing to be green. The proportion of green financing totalled 90 per cent of outstanding credits at the end of the period.
A recently-published survey undertaken by Nordea shows that the Covid-19 pandemic has now put green financing firmly to the test. It reveals that green bonds, and shares in companies considered sustainable, have coped with the crisis better than others. Similarly, there has been less outflow from green investment funds than from other funds.
Fabege's new energy efficiency targets are divided into phases. In 2019, we exceeded the target in the Swedish energy policy agreement of 50 per cent more efficient use of energy by 2030 compared with 2005. Work is progressing and our next milestone is to achieve average energy consumption of 77 kWh/sqm in the entire investment property portfolio for 2023, which is a reduction of over 60 per cent compared with 2005. 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 first quarter, Fabege's average energy consumption was 26 kWh/sqm, compared with 29kWh/sqm for the same period in the previous year.
The sustainability programme for Flemingsbergsdalen was completed during the period and the report will provide a background to the planning programme. It is a good foundation for ongoing support of the sustainability processes involved in the development of Flemingsberg. In 2020, as one of three existing districts, Arenastaden will be sustainability-assured and evaluated with new Citylab. Citylab is Sweden's first certification system for sustainable urban development, uniquely developed for Swedish conditions, laws and regulations. New Citylab is a further development of the previous system and contains an evaluative part that answers the question: How sustainable was it?

During the first quarter, Nationalarenan 1, the Friends Arena, was environmentally certified. The Arena was awarded BREEAM certification at 'Very Good' level and we have embarked on extensive work around energy saving and other sustainability issues.
A green lease means that both parties agree on a joint environmental agenda for the premises. Choice of materials, renewable electricity, flexible building design and sorting of waste at source are examples of commitments under this kind of lease. Green leases are an important building block for the environmental certification of the building. Fabege's goal is for 100 per cent of newly signed and renegotiated leases to be green. In the long term, green leases will constitute 100 per cent of the total lettable area (excluding storage and parking areas). As at 31 March 2020, the proportion was 77 per cent. During the period, the proportion of newly signed green leases was 93 per cent based on lettable area.
Fabege has a long-term, target-based and integrated approach towards creating more sustainable properties. Our overriding long-term goal is to have zero net emissions from property management by the year 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 forest, or wind and solar parks.
In 2019, Fabege linked up with the Science Based Targets initiative and has thus taken an initial step in reorganising the business to help achieve the 1.5-degree target. During the current period, we have begun work on retroactively calculating our climate impact from Scope 3 emissions during the base year of 2019, which is a major challenge.
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 value. During the period, investments in existing properties and projects totalled SEK 457m (658), of which investments in projects and development properties accounted for SEK 344m (451).
The capital invested in the investment property portfolio, which amounted to SEK 113m (207) and encompassed energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value. The amount includes investments for several more substantial tenant customisations during the year.
The first quarter saw the completion of the conversion of Fortet 2, Solna, into a hotel, long-stay accommodation, and co-working and restaurant facilities. KOM Hotel took over the premises as tenant and the hotel opened at the beginning of April. The redevelopment project relating to part of Paradiset 23, Västra Kungsholmen, was also completed during the period. Tenants have moved in and the few remaining vacant areas will be completed during the management phase.
The development of the Haga Norra area at the Hagalund 2:2 (formerly Stora Frösunda 2) property in Solna is proceeding with the construction of Bilia's new facility. Alongside this, work is continuing on division of the property into a number of separate units. The investment is expected to amount to roughly SEK 1,129m and the facility will be ready by the first quarter of 2021. The framework of the building is complete, glazed facades are now being put in place and installation works are underway. The project is adhering to the set schedule.
The project to construct a hotel, long-stay accommodation and offices at the Nationalarenan 3 property in Arenastaden is proceeding according to plan. The building is designed to be a zero-energy structure and will be certified to BREEAM-SE standard at 'Excellent' level. The total investment is estimated to be SEK 756m. The property is now fully let to Nordic Choice Hotels and is expected to be ready for occupancy in Q1 2021. Windows are currently being installed and work is being done to finalise the frame internally.
Work in relation to the groundworks and foundations contracts at the Poolen project is proceeding according to plan. Frame assembly will start in the summer. Fabege has concluded an agreement to acquire the development rights once the reallotment process is complete, which is expected to be in the second quarter of 2020. The property includes approx. 28,000 sqm of lettable office space, and will be constructed in a 3D reallotment above the swimming pool being built by Solna Municipality. Groundwork and project design work are currently underway. With TietoEvry having signed a lease to rent approximately 22,000 sqm, occupancy is at 75 per cent. TietoEvry also has an option to rent the remaining office space at the property. The amount invested is recognised within the property value, despite the fact that Fabege has not yet officially taken over ownership of the property.
In December 2019, a decision was made on an additional project at Fräsaren 12, Solna Business Park in respect of a tenant customisation for Arbetsmiljöverket, with occupancy scheduled for November 2020. The investment is expected to amount to SEK 96m and comprises approximately 7,100 sqm, 83 per cent of which is let to Arbetsmiljöverket. Work is currently underway on interior demolition and planning.
In February, it was decided to convert and develop Stigbygeln 2, Arenastaden. With Peab having left the property, it is now being developed to accommodate multiple customers. The investment is expected to amount to SEK 179m and the property will be ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2021. Interior demolition and planning have been underway since the turn of the year. The occupancy rate is 58 per cent. The property is to become Fabege's new headquarters.

Via co-owned Selfoss Invest AB, Fabege and Svenska Hyreshus AB are leading a housing development project in Kista. The total investment is estimated to be SEK 570m excluding purchase of the land. The project comprises 276 apartments. All 69 apartments in stage 1 have been sold and were occupied on 1 April. The 77 stage 2 apartments are now available for pre-agreements, and to date 34 agreements have been signed, representing a selling rate of 48 per cent. Stage 2 is expected to be ready for occupancy in autumn 2020. Stage 3, comprising 130 apartments, is being built with the flexibility to change the leasing form from tenant-owned apartments to rental or company apartments. Completion is planned for the first quarter of 2021. The project is being externally financed with a construction loan. Income recognition will not occur until the end of the project.
Development of the Lagern 3 property in Råsunda into tenant-owner apartments has begun. The project is being managed together with the TB Group in a 50/50 per cent co-owned company. The investment is estimated to total SEK 240m excluding purchase of the land. Demolition work has almost finished and external works on facades, balconies, windows and doors has begun. Marketing activities are running in parallel.
Work is continuing on developing the housing project in collaboration with Brabo at the Hagalund 2:2 property (formerly Stora Frösunda 2) in Haga Norra. The project includes 418 apartments that will be produced in a 3D reallotment above the facility that Fabege is building for Bilia at the property. The estimated investment totals approximately SEK 1.1bn. The frame is being assembled and expected to be ready in May while work on reallotment is also underway.
The current JV projects are not being consolidated, but will be recognised in accordance with the equity method.

Area and carrying amount relate to additional development rights space. Development will in some cases require demolition of existing areas, which will impact the project calculation. The volumes are not maximised. Ongoing planning work aims to increase the volume of future development rights. Flemingsberg is not included, as work is underway on the vision and overall plan. The conclusion is that Flemingsberg will bring a substantial volume of development rights at low initial values.

Reclassifications during the period between the Property Management and Property Development segments are stated in the note on Segment Reporting on page 18.
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.

Earnings and key ratios are affected by realised and unrealised changes in the value of properties. The table shows the effect of a 1 percentage point change in value after deferred tax deduction.

| Property expenses | 1% | 6.9 |
| Interest expense, rolling 12 months ¹ | +/-1 percentage point | 32 / 44 |
| Interest expenses, longer term perspective | 1 percentage point | 234.7 |
The sensitivity analysis shows the effects on the Group's cash flow and earnings on an annualised basis after taking account of the full effect of each parameter.
¹In the short term, interest expenses increase regardless of whether the short-term rate rises or falls. Due to interest rate floors in loan agreements, Fabege is not able to fully utilise negative interest rates, whereby a negative outcome arises even when interest rates are reduced.

The graph above shows the development of contracted rental income, including occupancies and vacations that are known about and renegotiations, but excluding letting targets. The graph therefore does not constitute a forecast, but rather aims to demonstrate the rental trend in the existing contract portfolio on the balance sheet date.
The change between the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020 is largely due to the sale of Trängkåren 7.
At the end of the period, 191 people (184) were employed by the Fabege Group.
Sales during the period amounted to SEK 97m (99) and earnings before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK 328m (−327).

¹Share of contracted rent

At Fabege's AGM on 2 April 2020, the meeting fixed the dividend for 2019 at SEK 3.20 per share, to be paid on two occasions (SEK 1.60 per share on each occasion). It was resolved that the record date for dividends be 6 April 2020 and 6 October 2020 respectively.
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 2019 Annual Report (pages 34- 40).
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-to-value ratio are also presented in the section on Risks and opportunities and the sensitivity analysis in the 2019 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 2019 Annual Report (pages 34-40).
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.
Apart from the effects of Covid-19 that have been described on page 3, no material changes in the company's assessment of risks have arisen since publication of the 2019 Annual Report.
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.
The year started strongly with rising rent levels and falling yield requirements on the property market. With society largely shut down due to the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus, there is considerable uncertainty. As things stand, it is difficult to assess what consequences this will have on
unemployment, consumption and society in general and, more specifically, on Fabege's customers and business. There is much evidence to suggest that the economy is decelerating sharply and that we are heading towards a recession.
Fabege will no doubt be affected by Covid-19. However, our strong financial position means we are well placed to cope even in difficult times.
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 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 2020 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.

STEFAN DAHLBO Chief Executive Officer
This interim report has not been reviewed bythe company's auditors.
Fabege had a total of 40,596 known shareholders at 31 March 2020, including 61.2 per cent Swedish ownership. The 15 largest owners controlled 42.5 per cent of the total number of shares and votes.
Fabege will issue as a dividend to its shareholders the portion of the company's profit that is not required to consolidate or develop operations. Under current market conditions, this means that the dividend is expected to sustainably account for at least 50 per cent of profit from continuous property management and realised gains from the sale of properties after tax.
At Fabege's AGM on 2 April 2020, the meeting fixed the dividend for 2019 at SEK 3.20 per share, to be paid on two occasions (SEK 1.60 per share on each occasion). It was resolved that the record date for dividends be 6 April 2020 and 6 October 2020 respectively.
The 2019 AGM passed a resolution mandating the Board, for a period extending up until the next AGM, to acquire and transfer shares in the company. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of shares outstanding at any time. During March 2020, 2,500,000 shares were bought back at an average price of SEK 119.49. As at 31 March 2020, the company held 2,500,000 treasury shares corresponding to 0.76 per cent of the number of registered shares.
The buyback mandate was renewed at the AGM on 2 April 2020.

² Definitionen according to IFRS.
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 ratios are not defined according to IFRS, unless otherwise stated.
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.
Total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities, provisions and deferred tax.
Cash flow from operating activities (after changes in working capital) divided by the average number of shares outstanding.
Interest-bearing liabilities divided by shareholders' equity.
Interest-bearing liabilities divided by rolling twelve-month net operating income less central administration.

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 fastgrowing 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 wellcontained 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.
As at 31 March 2020, Fabege owned 86 properties with a total market value of SEK 73.0bn. The rental value was SEK 3.1bn.
Fabege works with sustainable city district development, with a primary focus on commercial properties within a limited number of submarkets in good locations in the Stockholm area.
Fabege aims to create value by managing, improving and actively adjusting its property portfolio through sales and acquisitions.
Fabege conducts activities in three business areas: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions.
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 investment property 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.
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 one of the five metropolitan areas in Western Europe where the population is increasing at the fastest rate. Forecasts suggest that Stockholm County will have half a million more inhabitants than it currently does by 2030. The largest growth is amongst people in the active labour force, which is boosting demand for office premises.
New technology and new working methods are fuelling demand for flexible and space-efficient premises in prime locations. Excellent peripheral services and good communication links in the form of public transport are in increasing demand, as are environmentally certified offices and green leases.
The property market is impacted by trends in both the Swedish and the global economy. Lower vacancy rates in Stockholm's inner city and a stronger economic climate have historically meant rising rents.
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.

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 longterm work and based on close dialogue with the customer, thus building mutual trust and loyalty.
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.
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.
