INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–JUNE 2019

A high tempo in Nyfosa's acquisition operations in the spring has yielded returns. We signed acquisition agreements for a value of slightly more than SEK 3.3 billion during and after the quarter. These properties have stable cash flows in prime locations, including a large retail property in Luleå. Nyfosa's flexible strategy means that we can go against the tide and, in the current market, retail is a category where we see attractive opportunities in places and locations that we believe in. With a stronger cash position from the bond issue in May, we are continuing to analyze both large and small acquisitions as we continue towards our target property value of SEK 25 billion.

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.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

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.

STRATEGY

• Maintain sustained activity in the transaction market and creatively evaluate new business opportunities

• Focus on commercial properties in high-growth municipalities in Sweden

• Develop and add value to its property holdings

• Be a reliable and receptive partner with a long-term approach and a broad established network

• Attract the best employees

OBJECTIVES & DIVIDEND POLICY

• Average annual growth in earnings and the property portfolio of at least 20 percent up to a total property value of SEK 25 billion (excluding participations in joint ventures).

• At least 15 percent return on equity over time, before paid tax.

• Profits will primarily be reinvested to leverage business opportunities and achieve the growth target of a total property value of SEK 25 billion. Thereafter, a significant portion of profit will be paid to shareholders in the form of a dividend, redemption and/or repurchase of shares.

COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF PROFIT/LOSS

APRIL–JUNE 2019 QUARTER

During the second quarter, possession was taken of 15 properties in several different locations, mainly in southern Sweden. These properties encompass 82 thousand sqm of leasable area, mainly comprising logistics, warehouse and retail operations. Possession took place at the end of the quarter and thus fully contributed to earnings for the next quarter.

Profit from shares in joint ventures of MSEK 45 (168) comprised 50 percent of Söderport's earnings for the quarter. The lower share in profit compared with the preceding year was due to unrealized changes in the value of the property portfolio, which were higher in the comparative period. At the end of the second quarter, Söderport acquired properties for SEK 1.4 billion from Nyfosa and Sagax. Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK -47 (-36). The increase was attributable to higher net debt, due to, for example, the bond loans of MSEK 750 issued during the quarter. The tax expense for the quarter amounted to MSEK -16 (-45).

INTERIM PERIOD JANUARY-JUNE 2019

Income

Income amounted to MSEK 656 (486), up MSEK 170 or 35 percent. The change was primarily the result of a larger property portfolio than in the preceding year and agreed indexation of leases. The total leasable area on June 30, 2019 amounted to 1,600 thousand sqm (1,130) and the economic leasing rate was 91.9 percent (91.0).

Net operating income

Property expenses mainly refer to operating expenses, such as heating, water, electricity and property upkeep and amounted to MSEK 204 (145). Costs for property administration, such as charging rent, leasing, project management and marketing, amounted to MSEK 27 (20). The higher property expenses for the interim period compared with the year-earlier period were mainly the result of a larger property portfolio. Management of the portfolio resulted a surplus ratio of 65.0 percent (66.0).

Profit from property management

Costs for central administration amounted to MSEK 43 (16). In the second quarter of 2018, the Nyfosa Group established its own organization from previously having had only a small number of employees in its property management business, which is the reason for the cost increase year-on-year.

Profit from shares in joint ventures of MSEK 96 (229) comprised 50 percent of Söderport's profit after tax for the period. As for the quarter, unrealized changes in the value of the property portfolio were the reason for the higher share in profit in the preceding year. Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –85 (–61). The increase was due to higher net debt. The average interest rate in the loan portfolio on June 30, 2019 was 1.8 percent (1.6).

A new accounting standard for leases (IFRS 16) is applied from January 1, 2019. For more information refer to the 2018 Annual Report. For Nyfosa, the standard mainly entails that right-of-use assets in the form of site leasehold agreements were recognized in the statement of financial position at the estimated present value of future rents. Expenses for the right-of-use assets for the quarter were recognized in profit or loss as a financial expense, as opposed to in net operating income as previously. The application does not entail any impact on comprehensive income and was not applied retrospectively.

Profit from property management excluding share in profit of joint ventures amounted to MSEK 294 (245), up 20 percent.

Changes in value

The changes in value of properties amounted to MSEK 125 (285), of which unrealized changes in value totaled MSEK 140 (286). 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 the sales of two properties in the first quarter of the year.

Tax

The tax expense for the period amounted to MSEK -37 (-104), of which MSEK -43 (-19) pertained to changes in deferred tax liabilities attributable to investment properties. The effective tax rate was 7 percent (14). 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.

Leases for a rental value of MSEK 14 were signed during the quarter. Net leasing for the quarter amounted to MSEK 6.

VALUATION TECHNIQUES

The value of the properties has been assessed based on a market-adapted cash-flow estimate in which, by simulating the calculated future income and expenses, an analysis has been made of the market's expectations with respect to the subject property.

The yield requirement used in the estimate derives from sales of comparable properties. For additional information on valuation techniques, refer to Note 13 of Nyfosa AB's 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 June 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:

  • annual rental income (including supplements and taking rent discounts into account), plus other propertyrelated income based on current leases;
  • operating and maintenance costs consist of an assessment of operating expenses and maintenance measures during a standard year;
  • property tax has been calculated on the basis of the current tax assessment value of the properties;
  • costs for central administration have been calculated on the basis of the existing organization and the current size of the property portfolio;
  • Nyfosa's shares of profit from property management from joint ventures before changes in value, calculated using the same method as Nyfosa;
  • the assessment of earnings capacity does not assume any financial income; and
  • financial expenses have been calculated on the basis of the company's average interest rate on June 30, 2019, which was 1.8 percent. The item also includes ground rent.

PARTICIPATIONS IN JOINT VENTURES

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 85 properties with a total property value of SEK 9.4 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. The properties are located in Stockholm and comprise a total leasable area of 73 thousand sqm, of which 39 thousand sqm are in Årsta. The tenants include Dagab Inköp och Logistik AB, Clafra AB and Mobility Motors Sweden AB. After the end of the interim period, the company signed an agreement to divest six properties in Torslanda in Gothenburg at a value of SEK 2.3 billion, refer also to Note 10.

The trend in Söderport's net operating income was strong in the first half of the year, increasing by slightly more than 18 percent year-on-year. The total rental value for Söderport's property portfolio is estimated to amount to MSEK 780. Leases have an average remaining term of 4.8 years. The total leasable area amounted to 759 thousand sqm, of which 727 thousand sqm was leased, corresponding to 95.7 percent. The economic leasing rate was approximately 95 percent.

  2. Refers to final payment of outstanding principal loan amounts on the balance-sheet date, not including ongoing repayments.

Impact of changes in interest rates

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 June 30, 2019 was SEK 4.3 billion.

KEY FIGURES AND QUARTERLY OVERVIEW

Presented below are the key figures that Nyfosa believes provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the company's management in their assessment of the company's performance. The table presents the key figures and performance measures that are not defined by IFRS which is why a reconciliation of key figures is also provided. Definitions can also be found on page 22 of this interim report.

There is a good margin to the risk limits established by the company. Long term, the equity/assets ratio is to amount to at least 25 percent, the loan-to-value ratio is not to exceed 65 percent and the interest-coverage ratio is not to fall below a multiple of two.

Long-term net asset value (EPRA NAV) is calculated based on equity in the statement of financial position. The value of derivatives and deferred tax liabilities, both in Nyfosa's statement of financial position and Nyfosa's share of derivatives and deferred tax in joint ventures in the statement of financial position is then added back. The total provides a value per share in Nyfosa.

Net loan-to-value ratio, % 48.1 50.7 51.6 49.7 47.8

The loan-to-value ratio is calculated by using interest-bearing liabilities as a percentage of the value of the properties according to the statement of financial position. The net loan-to-value ratio is calculated by using net loans, meaning interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, as a percentage of the value of the properties according to the statement of financial position.

Financial income and expenses, MSEK -47 -38 -40 -30 -36
Interest-coverage ratio, multiple 4.3 4.6 4.6 4.9 4.3

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.

NOTES

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This condensed interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting, as well as the applicable regulations of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 Interim Reports of the Annual Accounts Act. Other than the application of IFRS 16, the accounting policies and calculation methods were unchanged compared with last year's Annual Report.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 Leases came into effect on January 1, 2019. The standard was not applied retrospectively. IFRS 16 did not have any material impact on the Group's earnings, financial position or statement of cash flows. Nyfosa performed a detailed review and analysis based on the company as lessee. Site leasehold agreements were identified as the most significant leases. Apart from this, there were only minor, insignificant, leases for vehicles and office equipment, for example. In connection with the application of IFRS 16, the cost for ground rents was recognized as a financial expense, which differs from the previous policy when it was recognized as an operating expense in net operating income. The right-of-use assets in site leasehold agreements, which amounted to MSEK 94 on June 30, 2019, were recognized as an asset and as a liability in the statement of financial position.

An analysis by the Group, in its capacity as lessor, resulted in the conclusion that IFRS 16 will not have any material effect on the Group's recognized rental income.

NOTE 2 ESTIMATES AND ASSESSMENTS

The preparation of the interim report requires that company management make judgments and estimates, and make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses recognized. The actual outcome may deviate from these judgments and estimates.

Measurement of investment properties

For significant assumptions and assessments affecting the measurement of Nyfosa's investment properties, refer to Note 13 of the 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.

Measurement of loss carryforwards

The regulatory framework governing taxation of the type of business operated by Nyfosa is complex and comprehensive in terms of both income tax and VAT/property taxation. Moreover, interpretation and application of these regulations by courts of law can change over time. Changes in these regulations, or in their interpretation by judicial bodies, could impact Nyfosa's earnings and position either positively or negatively. From time to time, Nyfosa has cases under review by, and ongoing 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 that are the subject of these proceedings have been valued at

MSEK 250 in this report, corresponding to 20.6 percent of the total disputed loss carryforwards of MSEK 1,215. 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.

Classification of acquisitions

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.

NOTE 3 OPERATING SEGMENTS

Nyfosa's operations comprise one operating segment, that is to say, Nyfosa's operations comprise a business that generates income and expenses and whose operating profit is regularly assessed by the company's chief operating decision maker as a basis for monitoring earnings and allocating resources.

NOTE 4 TAX

The Group's effective tax rate for the interim period was 7.3 percent (13.7). 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 7,179, which means that temporary differences of MSEK 4,566 were not recognized in the statement of financial position.

NOTE 5 EARNINGS PER SHARE

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 0.0%.

NOTE 6 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Nyfosa measures its financial instruments at fair value or amortized cost in the statement of financial position, depending on the classification of the instrument. Financial instruments 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.

NOTE 9 RELATED PARTIES

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 had no receivables from joint ventures on June 30, 2019.

NOTE 10 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE INTERIM PERIOD

After the end of the interim period, Nyfosa signed an agreement to acquire a portfolio of nine properties in Malmö for an underlying property value of MSEK 695. The properties have a leasable area of 38 thousand sqm, of which 68 percent is used as logistics/warehouse and the remaining part is office, retail and restaurant, with annual rental income of MSEK 49. The tenants include Malmö Lastbilscentral AB och Stryker AB. The average remaining lease term for the entire portfolio is 9.2 years and the leasing rate is 97 percent. At three of the properties, construction must be completed to a value of approximately MSEK 270 through the seller's care. With regards to these properties, the transaction is conditional on completion of the contracts and on the tenants moving in and paying rent. Closing date for these properties shall take place no later than August 31, 2020, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021. Financial closing date for the remaining properties is on August 31, 2019.

Also, Nyfosa's joint venture Söderport signed an agreement to divest six properties in Torslanda to the listed one-property company Torslanda Property Investment AB ("TPI"). The underlying property value amounts to SEK 2.3 billion, which represents the externally assessed market value. TPI paid MSEK 965 of the purchase price in terms of newly issued TPI shares at an issue price corresponding to TPI's net asset value. Through the issue, Söderport's ownership in TPI increased from 28.6 percent to 78.4 percent. Söderport has applied for and has been granted an exemption from the mandatory bid by the Swedish Securities Council. The properties that are divested to TPI mainly constitute office properties and comprise a leasable area of 145 thousand sqm. The rental value amounts to MSEK 170. The properties are located adjacent to TPI's existing property and have the same main tenant.
