INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2019
Nyfosa grew rapidly and with good profitability in the third quarter. We have acquired properties at a value of SEK 3.1 billion to date this year –solid progress toward the growth target of SEK 25 billion. The diversity of these properties in terms of geography and category add to what we consider to be the most important aim –stable cash flows at low risk. One example is the acquisition of retail properties in Luleå in prime locations, with stable tenants, thus supplementing the portfolio well. Nyfosa will continue to go its own way and find values outside the mainstream.

Nyfosa is a transaction-based and opportunistic property company in which business activities are in focus. The company's business concept is based on active participation in the Swedish transaction market combined with an investment strategy that can be flexible to the property market, meaning it is not limited by property category, region, scope of the transaction nor holding period. A flexible investment strategy and an efficient and near-to-market organization with documented transaction know-how and experience from assessing and evaluating risks provide Nyfosa with a solid foundation for creating and completing investments in properties or property portfolios that are often on the peripheral in terms of the types of investments preferred by other operators.
Nyfosa's mission is to be a transactionbased, opportunistic property company with strong forward momentum. Nyfosa will change in pace with the property market to always identify the best possible transactions and capitalize on business opportunities when they arise.
Furthermore, Nyfosa will generate a sustained and high return and be cashflow driven with the ambition to grow both its cash flow and property portfolio.

PER QUARTER


Possession was taken of several properties during the third quarter and several properties were vacated. Possession was taken of properties for a value of SEK 2.3 billion, primarily office properties in the Örebro area, two retail properties in Luleå and a portfolio of warehouse/logistics properties in southern Sweden. Closing took place at the end of the quarter and will thus fully contribute to net operating income in the next quarter. At the end of the second quarter, properties were vacated for a value of MSEK 866, primarily comprising the nine properties in Stockholm that were sold to the joint venture Söderport. Vacating generated a full effect by reducing net operating income and higher share in profit of joint ventures in this quarter.
Profit from shares in joint ventures of MSEK 101 (76) comprised 50 percent of Söderport's earnings for the quarter. At the end of the second quarter, Söderport acquired 15 properties from Nyfosa and Sagax, which strengthened the company's profit from property management to a total of MSEK 57. The revaluation of properties and derivatives had a positive effect of MSEK 71 on share in profit.
Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –49 (–30). The increase was due to higher net debt. The tax expense for the quarter amounted to MSEK –109 (–45).
Income amounted to MSEK 987 (748), up MSEK 239 or 32 percent. The change was primarily the result of a larger property portfolio than in the preceding year. The total leasable area on September 30, 2019 amounted to 1,771 thousand sqm (1,573) and the economic leasing rate was 92 percent (91).
Property expenses mainly refer to operating expenses, such as heating, water, electricity and property upkeep and amounted to MSEK 296 (220). Costs for property administration, such as charging rent, leasing, project management and marketing, amounted to MSEK 42 (28). Management of the portfolio yielded a surplus ratio of 65.8 percent (66.7).
Costs for central administration amounted to MSEK 57 (36). In the third quarter of 2018, the Nyfosa Group established its own organization but was not complete, which is the reason for the cost increase year-on-year.
Profit from shares in joint ventures of MSEK 197 (305) comprised 50 percent of Söderport's profit after tax for the interim period. Unrealized changes in the value of the property portfolio in this period were the reason for the higher share in profit in the year-earlier period. Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –134 (–91). The increase was due to higher net debt.
The changes in value of properties amounted to MSEK 340 (790), of which unrealized changes in value totaled MSEK 355 (654). The unrealized changes in value were mainly the result of lower yield requirements and renegotiated leases. The realized changes in value of MSEK –15 primarily derived from two sales in the first quarter of the year. One of the sales was a large transaction that took place in 2018, with the total resulting in positive realized earnings. The second sale was a property with a future vacancy situation that is expected to be difficult to lease.
The tax expense for the period amounted to MSEK –146 (–149), of which MSEK –133 (–77) pertained to changes in deferred tax liabilities attributable to investment properties. The effective tax rate was 15 percent (10). The deviation from the nominal tax rate of 21.4 percent was mainly due to the fact that profit from shares in joint ventures comprised profit after tax, and thus did not constitute taxable income for Nyfosa, but was also due to non-taxable capital gains on the divestment of properties via companies. The higher effective tax for the interim period is also explained by a correction in the quarter regarding deferred tax attributable to earlier periods.

Leases for a rental value of MSEK 13 were signed during the quarter. Net leasing for the quarter amounted to MSEK 4.

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 Annual Report on www.nyfosa.se.
The company engages an external, independent appraiser every quarter to quality assure the fair value measurement of the company's properties.

The company's current earnings capacity on a 12-month basis on September 30, 2019 is presented above. 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 data does not include the possible effects of property transactions. 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:
Nyfosa owns 50 percent of the shares in the property company Söderport Holding AB. Söderport is jointly owned with AB Sagax (publ) (50 percent holding each), and ownership is governed by shareholders' agreements giving both owners equal power of decision, meaning that neither partner has a controlling influence. The holding is classified as Participations in joint ventures and Nyfosa's share in the profit of Söderport is recognized in the Group's profit from property management.
Söderport's property portfolio primarily comprises industrial, warehouse and office properties, presenting a suitable supplement to Nyfosa's wholly owned property portfolio. Söderport owns 88 properties with a total property value of SEK 9.8 billion. The focal point of the property portfolio is in the Stockholm and Gothenburg regions. Söderport does not have its own operational organization. Instead, it procures property management and financial administration from Sagax. A small part of property management is procured from Nyfosa.
During the second quarter, Söderport acquired nine properties from Nyfosa for MSEK 722 and six properties from Sagax for MSEK 668. After the end of the interim period, Söderport vacated six properties in Torslanda outside Gothenburg at a value of SEK 2.3 billion. The buyer was the part-owned company Torslanda Property Investment AB (TPI). Payment was made inter alia in cash through a non-cash issue that increased Söderport's holding in TPI to 78 percent of the votes and capital.
The trend in Söderport's net operating income was strong in the interim period of the year, increasing by slightly more than 25 percent year-on-year. The total rental value for Söderport's property portfolio is estimated to amount to MSEK 802. Leases have an average remaining term of 4.7 years. The total leasable area amounted to 777 thousand sqm, of which 745 thousand sqm was leased, corresponding to 96 percent. The economic leasing rate was approximately 95 percent.

On September 30, 2019, Nyfosa had interest-bearing liabilities of MSEK 9,979, corresponding to a loan-tovalue ratio of 54.7 percent. Nyfosa's interest-bearing liabilities comprise bank loans and bond loans with an average interest rate of 1.75 percent. On September 30, 2019, Nyfosa also had overdraft facilities totaling MSEK 200 and a revolving credit facility totaling MSEK 3,880. A total of MSEK 2,644 of the revolving credit facility can be utilized in the existing property portfolio, of which MSEK 599 was unutilized on the balancesheet date. In order to utilize the remaining MSEK 1,236 under this framework, new properties must first be acquired and included in the credit facilities.
The strong liquidity and financial position provide a solid platform for Nyfosa to continue to grow through acquisitions and investments in the existing property portfolio. This enables Nyfosa to act quickly in an acquisition situation and provides the capacity to invest in optimization projects in the existing portfolio to improve profitability.
Equity amounted to MSEK 9,237 on the balance-sheet date, of which share capital amounted to MSEK 84.

No bank loans fall due for payment during the next 12 months. After the end of the period, new five-year interestrate caps were signed for MSEK 601, which is why 48 percent of borrowings is now interest-rate hedged.

Interest-bearing liabilities in the statement of financial position includes allocated arrangement fees, which is the reason for the deviation between the table and the statement of financial position.
Refers to final payment of outstanding principal loan amounts on the balance-sheet date, not including ongoing repayments.
Nyfosa largely works with variable interest rates in its loan agreements and manages interest-rate risk by using derivative instruments, primarily interest-rate caps at the current time. Limiting interest-rate risk increases the predictability of Nyfosa's profit from property management and changes in interest-rate levels do not fully impact the Group's interest expenses. In some cases, Nyfosa has entered into loan agreements with an interest-rate floor provision, meaning that STIBOR 3M cannot fall below zero. These loan agreements mean that Nyfosa cannot fully capitalize the low interest-rate scenario. The nominal volume of Nyfosa's outstanding interest-rate caps on September 30, 2019 was MSEK 4,267, corresponding to 43 percent of borrowings.

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

The information is inside information that Nyfosa AB is obligated to disclose in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication through the agency of the aforementioned contact persons on October 23, 2019 at 7:30 a.m. CEST.
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. Other than the application of IFRS 16, the accounting policies and calculation methods were unchanged compared with last year's 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.
The Group applies IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2019. The Group has applied the modified retrospective approach on transition, meaning that lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments on January 1, 2019, which amounted to MSEK 165 on this date. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount corresponding to the lease liability. The most important leases are site leasehold agreements and, following the introduction of IFRS 16, ground rent is recognized as a financial expense instead of an operating expense as previously.
The Parent Company does not apply IFRS 16 in accordance with the exemption in RFR 2.
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.
For significant assumptions and assessments affecting the measurement of Nyfosa's investment properties, refer to Note 13 of the 2018 Annual Report on www.nyfosa.se. Nyfosa's property portfolio is recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value, 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.
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 dialogue 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. Nyfosa had loss carryforwards from prior years. The Tax Agency decided in a review decision in 2018 not to grant the company full deductions for these loss carryforwards. The loss carryforwards in question amount to MSEK 1,215. Unutilized loss carryforwards are valued at MSEK 246, corresponding to 20.6 percent. Nyfosa has not reserved this amount since Nyfosa believes that it is overwhelmingly probable that the deduction claimed will be granted following a court ruling.
The IFRS 3 accounting standard states that acquisitions must be classified as business combinations or asset purchases. An individual assessment of the character of the acquisition is required for each individual transaction. Nyfosa's corporate acquisitions in 2019 encompass only properties and no material processes, which is why the transactions are deemed to be asset purchases.
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.
The Group's effective tax rate for the interim period was 14.8 percent (10.2). The deviation from the nominal tax rate of 21.4 percent was mainly due to the profit from shares in joint ventures comprising profit after tax, and thus did not constitute taxable income for Nyfosa, but was also due to non-taxable capital gains on the divestment of properties via companies, and valuations of loss carryforwards.
According to the applicable rules, deferred tax is to include temporary differences on all assets and liabilities, except for temporary differences on properties when assets are acquired. The residual value of investment properties for tax purposes totaled MSEK 8,376, which means that temporary differences of MSEK 5,718 were not recognized in the statement of financial position.

A long-term incentive program for employees of the Nyfosa Group was implemented in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting in May 2019. To establish the program, the Meeting resolved on a directed issue of a maximum of 1,950,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in Nyfosa AB.
The subscription price per share is based on the average share price at the time of the issue of the warrants with an increase or decrease calculated according to Carnegie's Real Estate Index (CREX) until September 2022, when it will be finally set. Subscription of shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants may be exercised during a two-week period from the day following the disclosure of the company's interim report for the period July – September, 2022, the company's year-end report for 2022 and the interim report for the period January – March, 2023, although not later than June 10, 2023.
1,409,500 of the issued warrants were subscribed for, and the remainder are held by a company in the Group. The estimated dilution in the quarter amounted to 0 percent.
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 include rent receivables, derivatives and cash and cash equivalents among assets and interest-bearing liabilities, derivatives and accounts payable among liabilities. The derivatives are measured at fair value according to Level 2. 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.

The Group owns participations in joint ventures, refer to page 11 of this interim report. Söderport is managed by AB Sagax, except for property management in Gothenburg and at seven smaller locations that are managed by Nyfosa. Property management fees are distributed between these two part-owners based on market terms. Nyfosa's fee amounts to MSEK 2 per year. The Group has no receivables from joint ventures on September 30, 2019.
In June, the Group divested properties to Söderport for a total value of MSEK 722. Properties were acquired in October for a value of MSEK 214. These transactions took place at the externally assessed market value.
After the end of the interim period, Nyfosa acquired ten properties from the joint venture Söderport. The transaction, which took place at the externally assessed market value of MSEK 214, encompasses a leasable area of 65 thousand sqm and a rental value of MSEK 34. The properties are located in Filipstad, Kumla, Kungsör, Oskarshamn, Piteå and Sandviken.

To the Board of Directors of Nyfosa AB
Corp. id. 559131-0833
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Nyfosa AB as of 30 September 2019 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
