A great start!

I have now had the pleasure of being at Fabege for just over a month. Just as I expected, I have met a great many extremely professional and talented colleagues, who are passionate about our customers, properties and projects.

They are passionate about continuing to develop our properties, our areas and Stockholm. They are passionate about improving the day-to-day lives of our customers. They are passionate about further developing Fabege. Managing properties and working with urban development is about people. It is people who will carry out the projects, people who will work or live in the properties, and people who spend time in our areas. Our employees are the foundation of this work.

Over the past few years, the sun has been shining on the property market. As we entered 2019, there were a number of questions about whether this trend could persist. Nine months later, we are able to note that it could. Despite some concerns about the economy and trade discussions, we are continuing to see substantial demand for premises and rental growth, and yield requirements are further declining owing largely to recordlow interest rates. There has also been a healthy trend for transactions in the Swedish property market. Interest from foreign investors is very high.

Persistent growth in rental income and operating cash flow

The positive trend we have seen on the rental market during the year resulted in continued renegotiations at higher levels. Combined with completed projects generating rental income, this led to strong growth. In the third quarter, there was a temporary dip in growth following the sale of Pelaren 1. However, this will pick up again over the next few quarters. Profit from property management, which reflects cash flow from operating activities, increased by an impressive 27 per cent compared with the same period last year.

Net lettings are not living up to our expectations. The Swedish Tax Agency's lease termination meant we had a tough start to the year, and we have not managed to achieve our target to the desired extent in relation to project lettings. In addition, net lettnings is normally weaker in the third quarter. This also means that project volumes will likely decline somewhat next year. We are in the process of a number of promising dialogues which confirms our belief in the potential of our city district development projects.

Good conditions on financial market

Both banks and capital markets are offering financing on attractive terms. I am satisfied that we have been able to harness opportunities both for extended fixed-term maturity periods and longer fixed-rate periods, thus further reducing our financial risk. At the end of the quarter we were able to agree long fixed-rate periods at extremely low levels.

Within the remit of the new green framework that was launched in June, we have issued both green commercial paper and several green bonds. The proportion of green financing is currently over 80 per cent of outstanding loans.

Sustainable business

We have one of the industry's best project portfolios in attractive, developable locations, where as a property company and urban developer we can make a difference. Work with our green framework for financing is one aspect of these efforts. Certification of the property portfolio is another. As an urban developer, it is important for us to contribute to a more sustainable society. We had confirmation that we are on the right track via our high rating in GRESB, which is a global ranking of the property sector. We were awarded the number one position in the 'Offices, Northern Europe' category. A result to be extremely proud of!

Market outlook

Although there are strong indications that the economy is slowing down, Stockholm is set to experience continued growth, which benefits our business. We have a growing portfolio and stable, low interest levels. Our attractive development rights in prime locations allow us the opportunity for continued value-generating project development. Vacancies are low and the demand for office space in our market remains good.

It is with great enthusiasm and respect that I look forward to continuing to build value for our customers, shareholders and employees, as well as for society as a whole.

Earnings Jan–Sep 20191

The year has been persistently characterised by increased rental income, improved profit from property management and continued value growth in the property portfolio.

Revenues and earnings

Profit after tax for the period was SEK 3,504m (6,265), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 10.60 (18.94). Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK 4,279m (7,253). Earnings from property management improved, but lower changes in value meant that profit before tax fell in comparison with the previous year.

Rental income increased to SEK 2,132m (1,864) and net operating income rose to SEK 1,605m (1,389). In an identical portfolio, rental income grew by roughly 14 per cent (10), of which around 75 per cent related to growth through tenants moving into completed project properties. The remaining increase was primarily growth due to new lettings and renegotiated rent levels. Net operating income in an identical portfolio rose by approximately 17 per cent (12). New accounting policies for ground rent, which is no longer included in net operating income as of 2019, had a positive impact on the surplus ratio. As a result of new tax assessment values the property tax rose substantially, as expected, compared with the previous year, which had a negative impact on the surplus ratio. However, overall, the surplus ratio still amounted to 75 per cent (75).

In the second quarter, Pelaren 1, Globen, was sold with transfer of ownership scheduled for 1 July. The transaction generated a profit of SEK 138m, which was recognised as an unrealised change in value in the second quarter. Furthermore, the Lagern 3 property was sold to a co-owned company. The transaction did not generate any realised profit. No further transactions have been completed. Realised changes in value therefore totalled SEK 0m (88).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 3,865m (6,125). The unrealised change in the value of the investment property portfolio of SEK 2,662m (4,076) was mainly attributable to increased rent levels for new lettings and renegotiations and lower yield requirements. The average yield requirement declined to 4.03 per cent (4.13 at year-end). In addition, unrealised changes in value of SEK 138m (132) were recognised relating to properties sold during the period. The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 1,065m (1,917), of which SEK –136m related to impairment of housing development rights. The change in value of the project portfolio in general was mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

The share in profit of associated companies was SEK −32m (−63) and mainly related to a capital contribution to Arenabolaget. No further contributions were made in the third quarter.

Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK −718m (141). 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 items declined to SEK −350m (-371). Increased borrowing was offset by lower average interest.

Segment reporting

The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 1,573m (1,290), representing a surplus ratio of 77 per cent (77). The occupancy rate was 94 per cent (95). Earnings from property management totalled SEK 1,154m (873). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 2,662m (4,076).

The Property Development segment generated net operating income of SEK 31m (99), giving a surplus ratio of 41 per cent (56). Earnings from property management totalled SEK −16m (22). Unrealised changes in the value of properties totalled SEK 1,065m (1,917), corresponding to a yield of 104 per cent on invested capital in the project portfolio.

Earnings from transactions totalled SEK 138m (220).

Quarter 3 in brief

  • Continued healthy demand for office premises in Stockholm and rising rent levels in all our submarkets.
  • New lettings totalled SEK 35m (65) and net lettings amounted to SEK −5m (29).
  • The surplus ratio was 79 per cent (77).
  • Earnings from property management totalled SEK 397m (323).
  • The property portfolio showed unrealised value growth of SEK 743m (847), of which projects accounted for SEK 46m (332), of which SEK −136m related to impairment of housing development rights.
  • Realised changes in property values totalled SEK 0m (0).
  • Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK −215m (103).
  • After-tax profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 714m (1,090).

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. 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. Within the remit of the new green framework that was launched in June, Fabege issued a bond of SEK 500m in September with a maturity of five years, for which there was considerable demand. September also saw the expiration of a bond of SEK 300m. Furthermore, a bank loan facility of SEK 1,200m was extended in September for three years. Find out more about Fabege's green financing at www.fabege.se/gronfinansiering.

The proportion of outstanding commercial paper is being kept at a lower level, as part of the company's efforts to extend the maturity of the debt portfolio. The company has available credit facilities covering all outstanding commercial paper at any given time.

In the third quarter, fixed-interest periods of a total of SEK 2,400m were agreed in the form of interest rate swaps with maturities of between three and ten years. At the end of the quarter, Fabege's derivatives portfolio comprised interest rate swaps totalling SEK 16,750m with terms of maturity extending through 2029 and carrying fixed interest at annual rates of between −0.18 and 1.35 per cent before margins. The average fixedinterest period increased to 4.8 years at 30 September.

Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 24m, mainly pertaining to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and costs relating to bond and commercial paper programmes. During the period, interest totalling SEK 13m (38) relating to project properties was capitalised.

*Revolving credit facilities

Tax

The tax expense for the period amounted to -SEK 775m (-988). The amount includes resolution of deferred tax in the amount of SEK 148m (139) in connection with property sales. Current tax of SEK 6m relates primarily to a tax refund in the first quarter. 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 between 2019 and 2020 has been calculated based on the current tax rate for these years of 21.4 per cent.

The new rules regarding interest deduction restrictions 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 2019, the new rules mean increased utilisation of tax loss carryforwards of approximately SEK 340m. This will incur a greater cost of SEK 73m for the 2019 full year, which is reflected in the tax calculation for the period.

Financial position and net asset value

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 37,582m (34,964) at the end of the period and the equity/assets ratio was 51 per cent (51). Equity per share attributable to Parent Company shareholders totalled SEK 114 (106), based on the number of shares after the split. EPRA NAV was SEK 138 per share (120) and EPRA NNNAV amounted to SEK 131 per share (117).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,125m (897). Changes in working capital had an impact on cash flow of SEK 449m (−42). Investing activities had an impact of SEK −422m (−881) on cash flow, while financing activities had an impact of SEK −1,151m (−262) 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 1m (–288) during the period. SEK 138/share

Financial targets

Fabege's Board of Directors has decided on the following financial targets for the business.

  • Loan-to-value ratio of max. 50 per cent.
  • Interest coverage ratio of at least 2.2.
  • The long-term debt ratio will amount to a maximum of 13.0.

FÖRSTA PARKETT PROJECT AT ARENASTADEN GETS OFF THE GROUND

On 10 September in the Poolen district, the ground was broken on Fabege's office project, Första Parkett. The project is a 3D property with the City of Solna's new swimming pool on the ground floor, which is both owned and will be managed by the municipality. The swimming pool will include a flexible multipurpose pool, 10 swimming lanes and a pool with an adjustable floor. Above the pool, Fabege is building modern offices featuring spacious floor layouts, with access to several terraces and an atrium boasting views across Arenastaden.

Första Parkett has been designed by Strategisk Arkitektur and has 11 floors with around 25,000 sqm of office space. The building will be certified to BREEAM-SE standard, Excellent. Occupancy is scheduled to take place in 2022/2023.

Operations Jan–Sep 20191

Value growth in the property portfolio continued to be fuelled by project development and higher rent levels for new negotiations and renegotiations, as well as by lower yield requirements on the market.

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 2019, Fabege owned 87 properties with a total rental value of SEK 3.1bn, lettable floor space of 1.3m sqm and a carrying amount of SEK 71.6bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 6.9bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 94 per cent (95). The occupancy rate in the property management portfolio was 94 per cent (95).

During the period, 116 new leases were signed at a total rental value of SEK 117m (275), of which 87 per cent pertained to green leases. Lease terminations amounted to SEK 209m (123) including the Swedish Tax Agency's lease termination of SEK 107m in the first quarter. Thus accumulated net lettings totalled SEK −92m (152). Net lettings in the third quarter totalled SEK −5m. Rental contracts totalling SEK 213m were renegotiated, with an average rise in rental value of 18 per cent, reflecting the persistently strong trend on the rental market in the first half of the year. The increase in the third quarter was lower as a result of the renegotiation of a single major contract. The retention rate during the period was 68 per cent (79).

Changes in the property portfolio

In the second quarter, Pelaren 1, Globen, was sold with transfer of ownership scheduled for 1 July. The purchase price amounted to SEK 1.6bn and generated a profit of SEK 138m, which was recognised as an unrealised change in value in the second quarter. Furthermore, the Lagern 3 property in Råsunda was sold to a co-owned housing development company, with transfer of ownership scheduled for June. The transaction did not have any impact on earnings. No further transactions were completed in the third quarter. Realised changes in value totalled SEK 0m (88).

In July, an agreement was signed on the acquisition of part of Generatorn 2, Flemingsberg, for a purchase price of SEK 60m. The acquired part is currently undeveloped. Transfer of ownership will take place after the local development plan and property reallotment have become legally binding.

Changes in value of properties

The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Just over 44 per cent of the properties were externally valued in the third quarter and the remainder were internally valued based on the most recent external valuations. The total market value at the end of the period was SEK 71.6bn (65.0).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 3,865m (6,125). The average yield requirement declined to 4.03 per cent (4.13 at year-end). The change in value in the investment property portfolio of SEK 2,662m (4,076) was principally due to higher rent levels and lower yield requirements. In addition, unrealised changes in value of SEK 138m (132) were recognised relating to properties sold during the period.

The project portfolio contributed a change in value of SEK 1,065m (1,917), including impairment of housing development rights of SEK -136m. The change in value of the project portfolio was in general mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

1 The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the January–September 2018 period and for balance sheet items at 31 December 2018.

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, with the minimum level of Very Good. Of Fabege's 87 properties, 56 were certified, or in the process of certification, at the end of the period. Overall, this represents 83 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.

Green leases

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 basis for environmental certification of the building. Fabege's aim is for green leases to account for at least 75 per cent of total newly signed lettable space. During the period, the proportion totalled 90 per cent based on lettable space and 95 per cent based on annual rental value. Green leases account for 68 per cent of the total office space within Fabege. The decline compared with the previous quarter is due to property sales.

Green financing

In 2016, Fabege launched the world's first green MTN programme. Our recently launched green framework allows us to issue green commercial paper now as well, and to link other loans to the framework. Green financing offers Fabege better conditions on the capital market and access to more financing alternatives. The new green framework increases 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 82 per cent of outstanding credits at the end of the period.

Health policy

Fabege is keen to help create the best conditions for its employees, and for visitors to Fabege's districts, to live healthy lives. Good health is also one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. For example, Fabege's employees have opportunities to take exercise during working hours, and to attend interesting talks about diet, fitness, sleep, managing stress and social relationships. Regular health checks are showing positive results in the form of significant health gains for many employees. This important initiative has been formalised in a health policy that is also part of our sustainability work. The work aims to improve quality of life for our employees and help boost commitment, enjoyment and team spirit. People who feel good perform better.

Fabege's energy efficiency targets

Fabege's new energy efficiency targets are divided into phases. The first intermediate goal is 50 per cent more efficient energy use in 2019 compared with 2005. The next milestone is an average energy consumption of 80 kWh/sqm in the entire management portfolio for 2023, which is a reduction of almost 60 per cent compared with 2005. The portfolio is divided into two parts: newer properties that have received planning permission after 2012 and have a target of 50 kWh/m2 and older properties that have a target of 90 kWh/m2 . In 2018, Fabege's average energy consumption was 98 kWh/sqm for the entire management portfolio.

FABEGE ACHIEVES TOP POSITION IN GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY RANKING

GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) produces an annual ranking of the property sector from a sustainability perspective. In this year's assessment, Fabege climbed eight points and is now ranked the highest in the 'Offices, Northern Europe' category.

The assessment covers a broad range of areas, including environmental aspects, social sustainability, governance and monitoring. Over the past year, Fabege has consolidated its position via improvements in areas such as risk management, environmentally certified properties and reduced climate impact.

"I'm extremely proud of the position and improvement we have achieved. We know that our work creates value and good conditions for both customers and other stakeholders," commented Mia Häggström, Fabege's Sustainability Manager.

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 adding value. Investments in urban development projects and new builds are a key feature of Fabege's business model and should make a significant contribution to consolidated profit. Our target is to achieve a return on invested capital of at least 50 per cent. All new builds and all major redevelopments are certified to BREEAM-SE standard.

During the period, investments in existing properties and projects totalled SEK 1,775m (2,354), of which investments in projects and development properties accounted for SEK 1,023m (1,985). The return on capital invested in the project portfolio was 104 per cent.

The capital invested in the investment property portfolio, which amounted to SEK 752m (369) and encompassed energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value. The amount includes investments for several slightly more substantial tenant customisations.

Completed projects

In the second quarter of 2019, the new office building at part of Båtturen 2, Hammarby Sjöstad, was completed. The third quarter saw the completion of the project relating to the conversion and extension of Trikåfabriken 9, Hammarby Sjöstad, and tenants have taken up occupation of their premises. Completion of the remaining vacant premises totalling approximately 3,000 sqm is ongoing. The properties have been transferred to the investment property portfolio.

Major ongoing projects

Tenant customisations for Skolverket at Fräsaren 12, Solna Business Park, are progressing according to plan. The investment is expected to amount to SEK 170m and the premises will be completed for occupancy in November 2019.

The redevelopment project relating to part of Paradiset 23, Västra Kungsholmen, is continuing. The investment in the basic building has been completed and undergone final inspection, and tenant customisations are now underway. The property will be completed ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2020. The occupancy rate is 84 per cent.

The conversion of Fortet 2, Solna, into a hotel, long-stay accommodation, co-working and restaurant facilities is continuing. The investment is estimated at SEK 136m. The property is fully let to KOM Hotell, which is owned by KFUM Central. Occupancy is scheduled for March 2020.

The development of the Haga Norra area at the Stora Frösunda property in Solna began 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 Bilia project has now been refined to focus solely on the development of Bilia's new facility, with parking area. As a result, certain adjustments have been made to the project, which has meant a reduction in the number of parking spaces. The adjusted investment is expected to amount to roughly SEK 1,129m and the facility will be ready by the first quarter of 2021. Work is currently underway on construction of the frame. However, costs incurred also include some costs relating to foundation work for the planned residential areas at the property. Once the property reallotment process has progressed further, these costs will be charged to other units in the area.

The project for construction of a hotel, long-stay accommodation and offices at the Nationalarenan 3 property in Solna is proceeding according to plan. The building is designed to be a zero-energy structure and will be certified to BREEAM-SE standard, Excellent. The total investment has increased slightly and 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. Work is underway on assembly of the frame and facade.

During the summer, work began on the new construction project district Poolen, Arenastaden. Fabege will acquire development rights once the reallotment process is complete, which is expected to be in Q4. The property includes approx. 25,000 sqm lettable office space, and will be constructed in a 3D reallotment above the swimming pool to be built by the Solna Municipality. Groundwork and project design work are currently underway. We are also in the process of discussions with potential tenants.

Housing developments in joint ventures

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 includes a total of 276 apartments, which is more than initially planned. A parking area and residential units are currently under construction as part of stage one, including 69 apartments. The selling rate in stage one is 99 per cent, and it will be ready for occupancy in March 2020. Construction of stages two and three is underway. Both stages are being built with the flexibility to change the leasing form from tenant-owned apartments to rental or company apartments. 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 property was sold in the second quarter to the co-owned development company. The investment is estimated to total SEK 240m excluding purchase of the land. Work is currently underway on planning and project design.

Work is continuing on developing the housing project in cooperation with Brabo at the Stora Frösunda 2 property in Haga Norra. The project includes 422 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 SEK 1.1bn. Work is currently underway on project design. Alongside this, work is underway on reallotment of the property.

The current JV projects are not being consolidated, but will be recognised as an associated company in accordance with the equity method.

Space and carrying amount relates 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 17.

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 property value, are directly attributable to properties in the respective 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 net financial items have been allocated in a standardised way across the segments, according to their share of the total property value (indirect income and expenses). The property asset is directly attributable to the respective segment and is 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.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS – CASH FLOW AND EARNINGS

Rental income, total 1% 6.8
Rent level, commercial income 1% 27.7

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 second and third quarters of 2019 is largely down to the sale of Pelaren 1.

Human resources

At the end of the period, 187 people (180) were employed by the Fabege Group.

Sales during the period amounted to SEK 261m (191) and earnings before appropriations and tax were SEK 2,814m (1,946). Net investments in property, equipment and shares totalled SEK 0m (0).

RENTAL VALUE PER CATEGORY

Acquisition and transfer of treasury shares

The 2019 AGM renewed the authorisation of the Board to buy back and transfer shares in the company for the period extending up until the next AGM. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of shares outstanding at any time. No shares were bought back during the period and Fabege does not own any treasury shares.

Events after balance sheet date

On October 17, Fabege received an upgraded credit rating from Moody´s with the rating Baa2, stable outlook.

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 2018 Annual Report (pages 54–59).

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 2018 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 2018 Annual Report (pages 54–59).

No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have arisen following publication of the 2018 Annual Report. 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 long-term debt ratio will amount to a maximum of 13.

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

There are several indications that the economy is slowing down. However, in the general economic slowdown, Stockholm appears to be remaining strong with its anticipated long-term growth forecast, in terms of both the rental market and the transaction market. Fabege is well-positioned and can offer office space in attractive, modern and sustainable neighbourhoods in Greater Stockholm, Given prevailing market conditions and Fabege's attractive property and project portfolio, circumstances are favourable for a continued positive trend over the next few years. Completed project properties and continued low interest expenses are expected to yield an improved profit from property management. Our attractive development rights in prime locations allow us the opportunity for continued successful, value-generating project development.

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 Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the latest annual report, with the exception of what is stated below regarding IFRS 16. Other new or revised IFRS standards or other IFRIC -interpretations that came into effect after 1 January 2019 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.

New accounting policies that enter into force from 1 January 2019 onwards

IFRS 16 Leases

This standard replaced IAS 17 on 1 January 2019, and it means that lessees must record leases in the balance sheet. Fabege does not apply the standard retroactively. Given Fabege's status as a landlord and lessor, the change does not affect the company's statements. Of the Group's leases, management of ground rents is the most significant. At 30 September 2019, the lease liability for ground rents amounts to SEK 942m. A corresponding right-of-use asset is included in the balance sheet. The cost of ground rents is recognised as a financial expense. Earnings from property management are therefore not affected. The ground rent is restored as an operating expense in the calculation of the interest coverage ratio, as with previous accounts. The accounting has a negligible impact on key ratios such as the equity/assets ratio.

No other new and amended standards approved by the EU and interpretative statements from the IFRS Interpretations Committee are deemed to impact the Group's financial position to any significant extent.

Stockholm, 21 October 2019

STEFAN DAHLBO Chief Executive Officer

Review report

We have conducted a limited assurance review of the interim report for Fabege AB (publ) for the 1 January 2019 – 30 September 2019 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.

DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are measured continuously at fair value in compliance with level 2, with the exception of the callable swaps measured in accordance with level 3. All callable swaps expired in 2018. 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.

² Unless otherwise stated, the key figure is not defined under IFRS. Please see page 20 for definitions.

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 ratios 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.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities, provisions and deferred tax.

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/EQUITY RATIO

Interest-bearing liabilities divided by shareholders' equity.

DEBT RATIO

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

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.

EPRA EPS

Profit from property management less tax at a nominal rate attributable to profit from property management, divided by average number of shares. Taxable profit from property management is defined as profit from property management less such amounts as taxdeductible depreciation and remodelling.

EPRA NAV

– LONG-TERM NET ASSET VALUE

Shareholders' equity per share following the reversal of fixed-income derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet.

EPRA NNNAV – SHORT-TERM NET ASSET VALUE

Shareholders' equity at the end of the period adjusted for actual deferred tax instead of nominal deferred tax, and the minority's share of the capital divided by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period.

EPRA VACANCY RATE

Estimated market rent for vacant rents divided by the annual rental value for the entire property portfolio.

EQUITY/ASSETS RATIO

Shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest divided by total assets.

EQUITY PER SHARE

Parent Company shareholders' share of equity according to the balance sheet, divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

FINANCIAL OCCUPANCY RATE*

Lease value divided by rental value at the end of the period.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES*

Properties that are being actively managed on an ongoing basis.

INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO

Net operating income including ground rent less central administration in relation to net interest items (interest expenses less interest income).

LAND AND PROJECT PROPERTIES*

Land and development properties and properties in which a new construction/complete redevelopment is in progress.

LEASE VALUE*

Stated as an annual value. Index-adjusted basic rent under the rental agreement plus rent supplements.

*This key ratio is operational and is not regarded as an alternative performance measure according to ESMA's guidelines.

LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO, PROPERTIES

Interest-bearing liabilities divided by the carrying amount of the properties at the end of the period.

NET LETTINGS*

New lettings during the period less terminations to vacate.

PROFIT/EARNINGS PER SHARE

Parent Company shareholders' share of earnings after tax for the period, divided by average number of shares outstanding during the period. Definition according to IFRS.

RENTAL VALUE*

Lease value plus estimated annual rent for vacant premises after a reasonable general renovation.

RETENTION RATE*

Proportion of leases that are extended in relation to the proportion of cancellable leases.

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Profit before tax plus interest expenses, divided by average capital employed. In interim reports, the return is converted into its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL IN THE PROJECT PORTFOLIO*

Change in value of project and development properties, divided by invested capital (excluding initial value) in project and development properties during the period.

RETURN ON EQUITY

Profit for the period/year divided by average shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest. In interim reports, the return is converted into its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

RETURN, SHARE

Dividend for the year divided by the share price at year-end.

SURPLUS RATIO*

Net operating income divided by rental income.

TOTAL RETURN PROPERTIES

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.

At 30 September 2019, Fabege owned 87 properties with a combined market value of SEK 71.6bn. The rental value was SEK 3.1bn.

Business concept

Fabege works with sustainable city district development, with a primary focus on commercial properties within a limited number of well located submarkets 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's operational activities are conducted 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 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.

Value-driving factors

A number of external factors affect Fabege's operations and these, together with the transaction volume and the office market trend 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 rising the most. According to forecasts, Stockholm County will have half a million inhabitants more than today by 2030. People in the active labour force account for the largest growth, which is boosting demand for office premises.

Change in demand

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

Economic trend

The trend for both the Swedish and global economy impacts the property market. Lower vacancy rates in Stockholm's inner city and a stronger economic climate have historically meant rising rents.

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 material 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 environmental commitment.

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 longterm 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.
