In the second quarter, Sagax signed an agreement to acquire a property in Hoofddorp, ten minutes from Amsterdam Schiphol airport. The property encompasses 5,992 square metres of lettable area and is fully let.
AB Sagax is a property company whose business concept is to invest in commercial properties, primarily in the warehouse and light industry segment.
The overriding objective is the long-term generation of the maximum possible risk-adjusted return to the company's owners. To achieve this objective, Sagax has set the following business targets:
The table and charts below illustrate the outcome for the past five years in relation to the financial targets.
Sagax invests primarily in warehouse and industrial properties. Properties designed as warehouses and for light industries are
attractive investment opportunities, since they generate a high yield combined with a low rate of new production and stable occupancy rates. Sagax invests in add-on acquisitions and in existing properties. Property acquisitions and investments in the existing portfolio aim to increase cash flow and diversify rental revenue, thereby reducing the company's operational and financial risks. The chart on page 3 illustrates the trend in the properties' market value and lettable area.
The financial structure of Sagax is designed with a clear focus on operating cash flow and the interest coverage ratio. This is expected to create both excellent prerequisites for expansion and an attractive return on equity. The charts on page 3 show Sagax's profit from property management and cash flow from operating activities. As illustrated, cash flow corresponds closely to profit from property management. The deviation is due mainly to joint ventures for which dividends rather than profit from property management are recognised as cash flow from operating activities.
Sagax endeavours to have well-balanced fixed-interest and debt maturity profiles to secure its operating cash flow. The average fixed-interest period at the end of six months was 4.0 years (2.1) and the average maturity period was 4.0 (2.8) years.

The company has four classes of shares: Class A, B and D common shares, and preference shares. The aim of the Class D shares, like the preference shares, is to attract investor categories that value steady ongoing dividends.
Sagax pursues efficiency and sustainability in its management strategy. The management strategy includes working actively to achieve long leases. This applies equally to new leases and to the management of existing leases. The company's policy is to abstain from maximising rent levels at all points of time in favour of signing leases of a longer duration with solvent tenants. This is regarded as being advantageous since it reduces the risk of vacancies, while leading to lower costs for letting premises and adapting premises to tenant needs.
Sagax endeavours to attract reputable and creditworthy tenants. The company mainly enters into triple net leases and are thus only affected to a limited extent by changes in consumption or changed rates for such utilities as heating, electricity, property tax, water and sewage.
Sagax invests primarily in regions experiencing stable population growth and that have diversified business activities.

The focus of Sagax's sustainability activities comprises avoiding short-term gains arising at the expense of negative longer-term consequences, such as in the form of externalities. The company's investing activities, management and funding are conducted to achieve the best possible long-term – meaning sustainable – outcome. The company's property management takes place exclusively in markets that have well-developed legal frameworks. The negative externalities of management primarily comprise the environmental impact from heating premises. As in previous years, it is intended that the carbon footprint of the Sagax organisation, calculated at 252 tonnes of carbon dioxide for 2018, will be compensated. A central theme of Sagax's sustainability activities is compliance with laws, regulations and conventions. Sagax conducts operations or has investments in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Spain. Accordingly, the Group is subject to both Swedish and foreign laws and regulations. Read more in Sagax's 2018 Sustainability Report.


The profit/loss and cash-flow items below refer to the January to June 2019 period. The comparative items refer to the year-earlier period. Amounts for the balance-sheet items and comparative figures refer to the position at the end of the current period and end of the year-earlier period.
Profit from property management rose 19% to SEK 960 M (806), of which joint ventures accounted for SEK 194 M (151). The increase in profit from property management was attributable to property acquisitions and higher profit from property management in joint ventures. Profit from property management per Class A and B share after dilution rose 21% to SEK 2.64 (2.18).
Changes in the value of properties increased profit by SEK 633 M (1,059), of which the revaluation of joint ventures accounted for SEK 174 M (320).
The revaluation of financial instruments had an impact totalling SEK 443 M (115) on profit. The revaluation of listed shares resulted in an unrealised change in value of SEK 284 M

(53). The revaluation of financial instruments attributable to joint ventures amounted to SEK 239 M (21) pursuant to IFRS 9, while fixed-income derivatives accounted for SEK –80 M (41).
Profit after tax for the period was SEK 1,771 M (1,666).
Rental revenue rose 16% to SEK 1,261 M (1,088). Revenue was primarily positively affected by property acquisitions.
Other revenue of SEK 23 M (24) primarily comprised compensation from tenants who prematurely vacated premises, damages due to inadequate maintenance and insurance compensation.
In the first half of the year, rental revenue in comparable portfolios increased 2.1% excluding currency effects. The largest increase was found in the market segments of Stockholm (5.1%) and the Netherlands (3.0%), mainly due to lower vacancies. Other market segments reported minor revenue increases (an average of 0.5%) in the existing portfolio.




The economic occupancy rate amounted to 96% (94), an increase since year end. During the period, the vacancy value rose SEK 37 M (45) due to tenants vacating premises and declined SEK 61 M (43) due to new lettings. Discounts provided on a fixed-term basis amounted to SEK 22 M (23) on an annual basis at the end of the period, up SEK 4 M (7) during the period. The terms for the discounts are described in the table below. Exchange-rate fluctuations increased the vacancy value by SEK 3 M (5).
In total, the closing vacancy value declined SEK 14 M during the period to SEK 118 M. The closing vacancy value increased SEK 13 M in the year-earlier period and was SEK 135 M at the end of the period.
Notice of termination had been served for leases with a rental value of SEK 65 M (54) at the end of the period, of which notice of vacating the premises accounted for SEK 62 M (51) and notice of renegotiation of the premises for SEK 3 M (3). Of the leases for which notice had been received, vacancies corresponding to SEK 15 M will occur in 2019. The rate of vacating premises is described in the table below. Leases that have not yet been occupied reduced the adjusted vacancy value by SEK 8 M (37).
The adjusted closing vacancy value was SEK 175 M (151), a net increase of SEK 23 M since year end. The change was due to the vacancy value for lettings that have not yet been occupied declining SEK 21 M in parallel with the vacancy value for terminated leases increasing SEK 16 M.

rents for vacant premises. Property expenses are based on actual outcomes over the past 12 months adjusted for the holding period, less expenses for site leasehold fees. Central administration costs are based on actual outcomes over the past 12 months. Net financial items are calculated based on interest-bearing liabilities and assets on the balance sheet date. Expenses for interest-bearing liabilities are based on the Group's estimated average interest rate, plus financing costs allocated over time and costs attributable to credit facilities that were unutilised on the balance sheet date. Lease expenses essentially pertain to site leasehold fees that are based on actual outcomes over the past 12 months adjusted for the holding period. Dividends attributable to the company's holdings of listed shares were not taken into account in the earnings capacity. Tax is calculated at the standard tax rate of 19% (22).
Shares in profit in joint ventures are calculated in accordance with the same assumptions as for Sagax, taking into account the size of the participations.

Sagax has a diverse lease structure, which better allows the company to maintain an even occupancy rate. To reduce the risk of lower rental revenue, Sagax endeavours to create longterm relationships with the company's existing tenants and to achieve favourable diversification in terms of the length and size of its leases.
Sagax's contractual annual rent at the end of the period was distributed between 1,679 leases, with about 1,100 tenants. The table below presents the size of Sagax's leases in relation to the Group's contractual annual rent at the end of the period. The table shows that 1,670 leases each had a rental value of less than 1% of the Group's contractual annual rent. The total rental value for these leases accounted for 83% of Sagax's contractual annual rent. In addition, Sagax is party to six leases with a rental value corresponding to 1–2% of the Group's contractual annual rent. Combined, these leases total 9% of Sagax's contractual annual rent. Only three of Sagax's

Sagax's tenants operate in a variety of industries. 19% of the contractual rental revenue comes from tenants in the manufacturing industry, 12% in the automotive industry, including sales, service and manufacturing, and 12% from companies with food-related operations. Diverse tenant industries is considered to lower the risk of vacancies and rent losses. The main industries are presented in the pie chart below.
According to Sagax's management strategy, the company strives to secure long-term leases and an even distribution of contract maturities over the years. This is deemed to reduce the risk of significant variations in the Group's occupancy rate. Leases representing 56% of the contractual annual rent expire in or after 2023. 6–14% of contractual annual rent expires every year between 2019 and 2022. The average lease term at 30 June 2019 was 5.6 years (6.5).

Interim report January-June 2019 11 This document is an in-house translation of the Swedish Interim report. In the event of discrepancies, the Swedish original will supersede the translation.
Sagax prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The company has chosen to recognise its properties at fair value in accordance with the Fair Value Method.
At 30 June 2019, the total market value of Sagax's 527 (498) properties was SEK 30,518 M (27,008). The depreciation of the SEK against the EUR during the period led to property values abroad increasing SEK 471 M (779).
The total unrealised change in value recognised during the period was SEK 462 M (756). Refer also to the table "Unrealised changes in value" on page 6.
The valuations were carried out in accordance with generally accepted international valuation methods. As of 30 June 2019, all valuation objects were valued separately by authorised property appraisers from independent valuation companies, except for the five German properties which, as a result of high valuation costs in Germany, were most recently externally valued at year end. Six properties, for which a divestment agreement has been signed, have been valued at an agreed sales price.
The principle method of appraisal used was cash flow calculations in which the present value of net operating income, investments and residual values was calculated. The calculation period was adjusted to the remaining term of existing leases
and varies between five and 20 years. As a rule, the calculation period is ten years. All properties, except for two small properties in Denmark, have been inspected over the past three-year period. These inspections include public areas and a selection of premises with specific emphasis on major tenants and vacant premises. The purpose of the inspections is to assess the properties' overall standard, maintenance requirements, market position and the attractiveness of the premises.
The cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows (4.9–16.0%), the cost of capital for the present value calculation of residual values (4.9–16.0%) and the yield requirement for the residual value calculations (4.5–15.0%) are based on analyses of transactions carried out and on individual assessments of the risk level and market position of each property.
The weighted cost of capital for the present value calculation of cash flows and residual values for the property portfolio was 7.9% (7.9) and 8.3% (8.5), respectively. The weighted yield requirement was 7.1% (7.1) at 30 June 2019. By comparison, the yield reported by Sagax for the period was 6.8% (6.8). A comparison of the yield reported over time and the yield requirement used in valuations is provided below.
A sensitivity analysis for changes in assumptions in property valuations is presented on page 29.

After the end of the period Söderport agreed to divest six properties in Torslanda to Torslanda Property Investment AB (TPI). The properties to be divested primarily comprise office properties situated adjacent to TPI's existing property and encompass a lettable area of 145,000 square metres. The rental value is SEK 170 M. TPI is to pay SEK 965 M of the purchase consideration in the form of newly issued TPI shares. Based on the issue, Söderport's participating interest in TPI will increase from 28.6% to 78.4%, refer also to page 31. In addition, two properties in Stockholm and one property in Gothenburg were acquired with a total lettable area of 11,000 square metres.

balance sheet. Interest-bearing liabilities of SEK 16,015 M (14,261) were recognised. The average remaining fixedinterest and debt maturity terms were 4.0 years (2.1) and 4.0 years (2.8), respectively, at the end of the period. The average interest rate on the company's interest-bearing liabilities was 2.2% (2.9), including the effect of derivatives. The average interest rate decreased as a consequence of new borrowing at lower interest rates, repayment of loans with higher interest rates and early redemption of interest-rate swaps. Sagax has prematurely redeemed three bond loans and requested early redemption of an additional bond loan. Redemption costs and the costs for the temporary surplus liquidity are expected to amounted to approximately SEK 40 M for 2019.
Sagax has SEK 8,446 M (–) in loans at fixed interest rates. To limit interest-rate risk of loans with floating interest rates and increase the predictability of the company's profit from property management, interest-rate caps and interest-rate swaps are utilised with a total nominal value of SEK 6,222 M (8,338), of which interest-rate swaps with an average interest rate of 1.4% (2.2) accounted for SEK 2,018 M (5,173); see table on page 14. In addition, the Group has an interestrate cap of SEK 4,204 M (3,165) in an underlying nominal amount.
The reserve for the market value of fixed-income derivatives rose by SEK 34 M (21) during the period. The total market value of Sagax's fixed-income derivatives was SEK –152 M (–400).

At the end of the period, Sagax had 12,351 (10,126) shareholders. Sagax's market capitalisation amounted to SEK 32,285 M (21,384). Sagax has four classes of shares: Class A, B and D common shares, and preference shares. The shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Large Cap.
On 3 June, Sagax implemented a 1:1 bonus issue with the issue of new Class A and Class B common shares. The bonus issue meant that the share capital was increased through the transfer of SEK 279 M from unrestricted equity. The purpose of the bonus issue was to improve liquidity in Sagax's Class A and Class B common shares since the relatively high share prices were deemed to be a disadvantage for trading. The bonus issue reduced the share price of the relevant shares and increased the number of shares outstanding.
A total of 443,376,482 shares were outstanding at the end of the period, of which 2,000,000 were Class B treasury shares. Refer also to the table of voting rights and proportion of share capital for the different classes of shares on page 26.
According to the Articles of Association, each preference share confers a preferential right to SEK 2.00 in annual dividends. Class D shares are entitled to five times the total dividend on Class A and B shares, although not more than SEK 2.00 per share. The share price trend and information about share trading are provided below.
Sagax has three warrant plans for the company's employees. In total, Sagax's employees hold warrants corresponding to 0.6% of the number of Class A and B shares outstanding. The company's CEO and Board Members do not participate in the plans. These plans are valid for three years, and encompass the periods 2017-2020, 2018-2021 and 2019-2022. Warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for Class B shares in June 2020, June 2021 and June 2022, respectively. The subscription price corresponds to the price paid for the Class B share at the start of the warrant plan, converted using the average share price trend for the listed property companies in accordance with Carnegie's property index (CREX) during the corresponding period. Accordingly, the warrants will have a value on condition that the price performance of the Sagax share exceeds the average for the listed property companies during each three-year period.

The AGM of AB Sagax on May 7, 2019 resolved:
in AB Sagax of the 2019/2022 series to employees, or to maintain control over the warrants in some other manner in order to secure obligations pursuant to the Incentive Plan 2019/2022. Each employee is to be offered an opportunity to acquire warrants in an amount corresponding to a maximum of one twelfth (1/12) of the employee's annual salary before income tax. It is estimated that the maximum number of additional Class B common shares will not exceed 400,000, corresponding to approximately 0.27% of the total number of Class B common shares in the company, subject to full subscription and full exercise of all warrants. The increase in share capital in such a case will amount to a maximum of SEK 700,000. The Incentive Plan is targeted at individuals who are or will be employees of AB Sagax or its subsidiaries. The company's Board of Directors and the CEO are not covered by the offer.
common shares, Class B common shares, preference shares, Class D common shares and/or warrants as payment for acquisitions of properties or property companies, or parts of properties or property companies, at a price corresponding to the market price or, regarding warrants the market value, on the date of sale. Transfer of all or portions of the company's holdings of Class A treasury common shares, Class B common shares, preference shares and/or Class D common shares may also occur, on one or more occasions prior to the next AGM, to finance such acquisitions, for which shares are to be sold on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price that is within the price span applicable at any time.
■ on a bonus issue of 13,416,822 new Class A common shares and 145,979,405 new Class B common shares, whereby one (1) existing Class A common share entitles the holder to receive one (1) new Class A common share, and one (1) existing Class B common share entitles the holder to receive one (1) new Class B common share. According to the provisions of the Articles of Association, holdings of Class D common shares and/or holdings of preference shares do not provide
entitlement to new Class A common shares or to new Class B common shares. The decisions entails that AB Sagax's share capital increased by a total of SEK 278,943,397.25 due to a transfer from unrestricted equity. The record date for the bonus issue is 3 June 2019. The new Class A and Class B common shares provide entitlement to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends that falls immediately after the share issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the common shares have been entered in the shareholders' register at Euroclear Sweden AB. The new Class A common shares are to be encompassed by the share conversion clause stipulated in the company's Articles of Association. On the basis of the bonus issue, both the share capital and the number of Class A and Class B common shares outstanding will increase, with the share capital amounting to SEK 765,583,843.50 distributed between a total of 437,476,482 shares, of which 26,833,644 Class A common shares, 291,958,810 Class B common shares, 101,900,000 Class D common shares and 16,784,028 preference shares. All of the shares have an unchanged quotient value of SEK 1.75 per share.
To prepare the accounts based on generally accepted accounting policies, company management must make judgements and assumptions that affect asset and liability items, revenue and expense items recognised in the accounts and other information provided. The actual outcome may differ from these judgements.
The valuation of investment properties can be significantly affected by the judgments and assumptions made by company management. To reduce the risk of incorrect valuations, Sagax has engaged authorised external appraisers to assess the market value of the majority of the properties as of 30 June 2019, see page 12. When valuing properties, the constant existence of uncertainties regarding the assumptions made must be taken into account. A sensitivity analysis for property values in relation to changes in the assumptions on yield requirements, cost of capital, rental revenue and property expenses is presented below.
Sagax prioritises leasing to tenants with a high credit rating and long-term leases, despite these entailing slightly lower immediate earnings. The intention is to reduce the risk of rent losses and the risk of vacancies.
The geographic distribution of Sagax's property portfolio and the industries of its tenants are highly diversified. Sagax's lease structure of many small leases help reduce the risks of vacancies and rent losses.
Sagax's financial expenses comprise the single largest expense for the Group. To reduce Sagax's exposure to rising interest rates, the Group has a significant number of its interest expenses from fixed-rate loans. To limit interest-rate risk for
loans at floating interest rates, interest-rate swaps and interestrate caps are used. Sagax values all of its fixed-income derivatives externally every quarter. All other things being equal, a simulated parallel upward shift of 1 percentage point in the underlying swap curve would entail a positive revaluation of Sagax's fixed-income derivatives by SEK 96 M. A corresponding downward shift of 1 percentage point would entail a revaluation of SEK –99 M.
Calculated on the existing funding terms for the Group's interest-bearing liabilities on 30 June 2019, a rise in market interest rates of 1 percentage point would have increased Sagax's annualized interest expenses by SEK 27 M (55). A reduction in market interest rates of 1 percentage point would have lowered Sagax's interest expenses by SEK 7 M (–24) on an annual basis.
Sagax's funding primarily comprises equity and interest-bearing liabilities. Sagax endeavours to secure a long, average remaining term of interest-bearing liabilities in a bid to limit its refinancing risk, defined as the risk that refinancing existing debt cannot take place on reasonable terms. The company's long-term funding comprises listed bond loans and bank loans. Both the bond loans and bank loans are subject to covenants, for example, with respect to debt ratio and maintaining an interest coverage ratio. This means that creditors may be entitled to demand repayment of granted credit lines prematurely or request changed conditions if these covenants are not met by the borrower. The complete terms and conditions for the bond loans are available at www.sagax.se. A sensitivity analysis is presented below, showing the effects of a change in properties' occupancy rate on Sagax's interest coverage ratio. A sensitivity analysis is presented below, showing the effects of a change in the properties' market value on Sagax's debt ratio.

The amounts in the consolidated balance sheet are partly exposed to exchange-rate fluctuations, particularly for the EUR. Net exposure on 30 June 2019, assets less liabilities in EUR, amounted to SEK 4,788 M (7,673). In accordance with IAS 21, the currency effects for foreign operations and hedge accounting are recognised in Other comprehensive income. Other currency effects are recognised in profit or loss.
In a decision of 20 December 2016 pertaining to the 2014 income year, the Swedish Tax Agency denied the group company Sagax Bruket Fastigheter AB deductions for loss carryforwards of SEK 277 M and imposed additional tax of SEK
28 M. In a ruling on 27 February 2018, the Administrative Court upheld the Swedish Tax Agency's claim In a decision of 7 December 2017 pertaining to the 2015 income year, the Tax Agency also denied the group company Firethorne AB deductions for loss carryforwards of SEK 1,166 M. In a ruling on 7 February 2019, the Administrative Court upheld the Tax Agency's decision. Sagax is of the opinion that the Tax Agency's decisions are incorrect and the companies concerned have appealed the decisions. If the Tax Agency's decisions were to be upheld, Sagax estimates that the negative effect recognised in earnings for the Group would be SEK 85 M and SEK 156 M, respectively.
Sagax's other risks are described in the 2018 Annual Report, on pages 50-53.

On 3 July, Sagax announced in a press release that its joint venture Söderport had acquired two properties in Stockholm and one in Gothenburg. The total investment amounted to SEK 117 M. The properties encompass 10,900 square metres of lettable area, comprising warehouse and light industry premises. The remaining average lease term is 7.5 years and the annual rental value amounts to SEK 7.3 M. The occupancy rate is 74%.
On 8 July, Sagax announced in a press release that based on four separate transactions it had agreed to acquire two properties in Paris, one property in the Netherlands and one property in Finland. The total investment amounted to SEK 160 M. The properties comprise a lettable area of 22,500 square metres, primarily comprising warehouse and light industry premises. The remaining average lease term is 1.8 years and the annual rental value amounts to SEK 16.5 M. The occupancy rate is 85%. For property acquisitions in France, the relevant municipality has pre-emptive rights to buy the property. This applies to the acquisitions described above. Such a permit is expected to be obtained within two months. Occupancy is scheduled to take place during third quarter of 2019. Sagax also divested an industrial property in Paris for SEK 46 M. The divested property is vacant and encompasses 3,200 square metres of lettable area. The property was handed over in the second quarter of 2019.
On 10 July, Sagax announced in a press release that its joint venture Söderport was to divest six properties in Torslanda to Torslanda Property Investment AB (TPI). The transaction will take place with the property packaged as company and the underlying property value amounts to SEK 2,338 M. TPI is to pay SEK 965 M of the purchase consideration in the form of newly issued TPI shares. Based on the issue, Söderport's participating interest in TPI will increase from 28.6% to 78.4%. The properties to be divested to TPI primarily comprise office properties and encompass a lettable area of 145,000 square metres. The rental value is SEK 170 M. The properties are situated adjacent to TPI's existing property and mainly have the same tenant. Söderport's aim is that TPI will build up its own management organisation to develop into an independent property company. Söderport intends to gradually transfer all or parts of its shareholdings in TPI to Söderport's own shareholders or the shareholders of these shareholders. The transaction is conditional on the approval of an extraordinary meeting of TPI. This extraordinary meeting is expected to take place on 22 August 2019. Provided that the meeting approves the transaction, possession is scheduled to be transferred on 1 October 2019.
Sagax complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU, and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). In addition, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Swedish law applying Recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Corporate Groups of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34.
IFRS 16 Leases entered force on 1 January 2019 and has been applied by Sagax from that date without retrospective restatement. Accounting for lessors is essentially unchanged. Under the new standard, lessees recognise leases in the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset. Sagax analysed the Group's leases and identified site leasehold agreements as the most material. Sagax also has other leases pertaining to offices, vehicles, office equipment and land leases. According to the new standard, site leasehold fees will no longer be recognised as a property expenses but instead as a financial expense. Lease expenses for other leases are distributed between depreciation and financial expense. The change in recognition has a limited impact on a few KPIs, such as return on total capital, net debt/total assets and the interest coverage ratio.
Aside from the adjustments to IFRS 16, the accounting policies and calculation methods applied in this report are essentially unchanged compared with those applied in the 2018 Annual Report.
The properties were valued in accordance with level 3 of the IFRS fair value hierarchy. The fair value of financial instruments essentially corresponds with the carrying amounts. No changes to the categorisation of financial instruments were made during the period. The derivatives were measured in accordance with level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Rounding-off differences may occur in this report.
The Board of Directors and CEO give their assurance that this interim report provides a fair overview of the company's and the Group's operations, financial position and earnings and describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the company and the companies included in the Group.

Sagax applies the European Securities and Market Authority's (ESMA) Guidelines on the Alternative Performance Measures. Alternative performance measures refer to financial measures of historical or future earnings trends, financial position, financial results or cash flows that are not defined or stated in the applicable rules for financial reporting, which in Sagax's case is IFRS. The basis of the alternative performance measures provided is that they are used by company management to assess the financial performance and thus are considered to provide valuable information to shareholders and other stakeholders.
The table below presents definitions of Sagax's key performance indicators. The calculation of alternative performance measures is described separately on the following pages.
| Key performance indicators | Description | Reason for alternative performance measure |
|---|---|---|
| Cash flow per Class A and B share | Profit before tax adjusted for items not included in cash flow less tax paid in relation to the average number of Class A and B shares. Dividends on Class D shares and preference shares for the period have also been deducted from profit before tax. Dividends received from joint ventures have been added to profit before tax. |
The key performance indicator shows the amount of cash flow for the period that can be considered to be attributable to owners of Class A and Class B shares. |
| Debt ratio | Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the period as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period. |
This key performance indicator shows financial risk. |
| Dilution | Dilution due to outstanding warrants has been calculated, in line with IAS 33, as the number of Class A and B shares to be issued to cover the difference between the strike price and market price for all potential Class A and B shares (warrants) outstanding, insofar as it is probable that they will be utilised. |
Not an alternative performance measure. |
| Earnings per Class A and B share | Profit in relation to the average number of Class A and B shares after taking into account the portion of profit for the period represented by dividends on Class D shares and preference shares. |
Not an alternative performance measure. |
| Earnings per Class D share | Class D shares are entitled to five times the total dividend on Class A and B shares, although not more than SEK 2.00 per share. |
The key performance indicator shows the shareholders' share of profit. |
| Earnings per preference share | Each preference share entails a preferential right to SEK 2.00 in annual dividends. |
The key performance indicator shows the preference shareholders' share of profit. |
| EBITDA | Net operating income less central administration costs plus dividends received from joint ventures. |
Sagax uses EBITDA so that the EBITDA/Net debt key performance indicator shows financial risk. |
| Economic occupancy rate | Contractual annual rent directly after the end of the period as a percentage of rental value directly after the end of the period. |
The key performance indicator shows the economic degree of utilisation of the Group's properties. |
| Equity/assets ratio | Equity in relation to total assets. | This key performance indicator shows financial risk. |
| Equity per Class A and B share | Equity at the end of the period in relation to the number of Class A and B shares at the end of the period after taking into account equity attributable to Class D shares and preference shares. |
The key performance indicator shows the owner's share of equity. |
| Equity per Class D share | Equity at the end of the period in relation to the number of common shares at the end of the period after taking into account equity attribut able to preference shares. Equity is restricted to SEK 35.00 per Class D share. |
The key performance indicator shows the owner's share of equity. |
| Equity per preference share | Equity per preference share corresponds to the preferential right of the preference share on liquidation of the company (SEK 30 per preference share) and the share's accumulated preferential right to dividends (SEK 2 per year). |
The key performance indicator shows the owner's share of equity. |
