Increased profit from property management and persistent value growth

The year began with increased rental income, improved profit from property management and persistently rising property values, and the performance in the second quarter confirms this positive trend.

Strong rental market

Stockholm's rental market remains consistently strong, with high demand and rising rent levels. The termination of the Swedish Tax Agency's lease in the first quarter presents us with a challenge in negative net lettings. However, in the second quarter, net lettings amounted to SEK 20m and I am optimistic ahead of autumn. We are seeing many new, exciting opportunities and constructive ongoing dialogues in several of our districts.

Stronger cash flow

Project completions and renegotiations contributed to rising rental income, while interest expenses remained at very low levels. Our profit from property management is growing continually stronger, increasing by an impressive 30 per cent compared with the previous year. Previous forecasts about rising interest rates have not transpired. Instead, long-term interest rates have come down further, which has provided a boost to the valuation of property shares on the stock market.

Transactions confirm ever lower yield requirements

In May, we sold Pelaren 1 at Globen, a newly-produced property, fully let with stable tenants. The transaction marked a new record low yield level for similar objects in attractive suburb locations. This had a positive effect on the valuation of several of our properties in the portfolio. Provided we do not see a significant economic downturn, and while interest rates remain low, properties will continue to stand out as a highly attractive investment. The change in interest rates we have seen in this latest quarter has yet to impact our valuations, and I expect us to see continued downward pressure on yield requirements in the coming quarters.

Project investments

Some have expressed a degree of concern that our project portfolio is shrinking, and that we will therefore be unable to maintain volumes in the long term. I am confident that we will see several new project start-ups during the year. This is in light of the fact that more scheduled development rights will become available, and that interesting dialogues are in progress. Meanwhile, we are working intensively on our vision and brand for our districts. Every day we learn more about what creates appeal. We are laying the foundations for attractive urban development in all our submarkets.

Focus on sustainability and more green financing

In the second quarter, we succeeded in setting up a new green framework for financing. The framework not only allows us to issue green bonds, but also green commercial paper. We also have an opportunity to link other loans to the framework. Fabege believes responsible financing enables us to get on board and encourage the financial market to move in a sustainable direction, while imposing requirements on ourselves and generating considerable internal pride. Green financing is based on certification of the property portfolio and demanding energy requirements. We received a fine acknowledgement for our work on certifying the management portfolio when the property Hägern Mindre 7 as one of only four office properties in Sweden received BREEAM in use certification at the excellent level.

Market outlook

This will be my last CEO statement for Fabege. Stefan Dahlbo will take over on September 1. I will remain in post up until that point. I am convinced that the wonderful journey I've been part of will continue. The market outlook has not changed since the last quarter. Stockholm is strong and has a long-term growth forecast, which provides excellent prospects for Fabege's continued growth. Fabege is well-positioned and can offer office space in attractive, modern and sustainable neighbourhoods in Greater Stockholm, both to the north and to the south. I wish Stefan and all Fabege's employees every success for the future.

Earnings Jan–Jun 20191

The first half of the year was 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 2,790m (5,175), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 8.44 (15.64). Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK 3,358m (5,976). 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 1,449m (1,237) and net operating income increased to SEK 1,063m (908). In an identical portfolio, rental income grew by roughly 19 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 20 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. Although the increase is largely covered by the customers, it had a negative impact on the surplus ratio, which was 73 per cent (73).

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. Realised changes in value therefore totalled SEK 0m (88).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 3,122m (5,278). The unrealised change in the value of the investment property portfolio of SEK 1,965m (3,561) was mainly attributable to increased rent levels for new lettings and renegotiations and lower yield requirements. The average yield requirement declined to 4.04 per cent (4.13 at year-end). In addition, unrealised changes in fair value of SEK 138m were recognised relating to properties sold during the period. The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 1,019m (1,585), primarily due to development gains in the major project properties.

The share in profit of associated companies was SEK −32m (−40) and mainly related to a capital contribution to Arenabolaget.

Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK −503m (38). Newly subscribed interest rate swaps and lower long-term interest rates led to an increase in the deficit value during the period. Net interest items declined to SEK −233m (-257). Increased borrowing was offset by lower average interest.

Segment reporting

The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 1,044m (865), representing a surplus ratio of 75 per cent (75). The occupancy rate was 94 per cent (95). Earnings from property management totalled SEK 755m (581). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 1,965m (3,561).

The Property Development segment generated net operating income of SEK 19m (43), giving a surplus ratio of 36 per cent (55). Earnings from property management totalled SEK −14m (−9). Unrealised changes in the value of properties totalled SEK 1,019m (1,585), corresponding to a yield of 132 per cent on invested capital in the project portfolio.

Earnings from transactions totalled SEK 138m (220).

Quarter 2 in brief

  • Continued healthy demand for office premises in Stockholm and rising rent levels in all our submarkets.
  • New lettings totalled SEK 46m (155) and net lettings amounted to SEK 20m (113).
  • The surplus ratio was 76 per cent (75).
  • Earnings from property management totalled SEK 375m (298).
  • The property portfolio showed unrealised value growth of SEK 1,798m (2,578), of which projects accounted for SEK 378m (447).
  • Realised changes in property values totalled SEK 0m (5).
  • Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK −265m (−2).
  • After-tax profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,642m (2,636).

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. In line with this goal, a new green financing framework was launched in June. The green MTN programme and the commercial paper programme, which is gradually being converted to green as outstanding commercial paper is sold, are both linked to the new framework. The syndicated back-up facility for the commercial paper programme has also been linked to the framework, which allows other green loans to be linked as well. Find out more at www.fabege.se/gronfinansiering.

In April, another loan of just over SEK 1bn was converted to green in connection with an extension of ten years, and in June financing of just over SEK 2bn was converted at the same time as being extended for 15 years. No less than 92 per cent of Fabege's financing sources now provide green financing solutions, and an increasing number can also offer extended maturities.

The bond market continues to be highly positive, with healthy demand for green bonds in particular. In April, Fabege issued bonds totalling SEK 400m with a maturity of 4.5 years.

The proportion of outstanding commercial paper is being kept at the lower level that was initiated during the autumn, 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 second quarter, fixed-interest periods of a total of SEK 600m were agreed in the form of interest rate swaps with maturities of ten years. At the end of the quarter, Fabege's derivatives portfolio comprised interest rate swaps totalling SEK 14,400m with terms of maturity extending through 2029 and carrying fixed interest at annual rates of between 0.24 and 2.08 per cent before margins.

Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 17m, mainly pertaining to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and costs relating to bond and commercial paper programmes. During the period, interest totalling SEK 8m (16) relating to project properties was capitalised.

BREAKDOWN OF SOURCES OF FUNDING, 30/06/2019

Tax

The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK -568m (-801). The amount includes resolution of deferred tax in the amount of SEK 148m (131) 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 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 means increased utilisation of tax loss carryforwards of approximately SEK 280m. This will incur a greater cost of SEK 60m 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 36,868m (34,964) at the end of the period and the equity/assets ratio was 50 per cent (51). Equity per share attributable to Parent Company shareholders totalled SEK 111 (106), based on the number of shares after the split. EPRA NAV was SEK 134 per share (125) and EPRA NNNAV amounted to SEK 128 per share (120).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 751m (613). Change in working capital had an impact of SEK 176m (−162) on cash flow. Investing activities had an impact of SEK −1,328m (−96) on cash flow, while financing activities had an impact of SEK 401m (−637) on cash flow. In investing activities, cash flow was driven by property transactions and projects. Overall, cash and cash equivalents changed by SEK 0m (282) during the period. SEK 134/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.

EPRA NAV 30 June 2019

Fabege outperforms the Swedish energy agreement

Sweden's long-term focus for Swedish energy policy, Energiöverenskommelsen (the energy policy agreement), sets a target of 50 per cent more efficient energy consumption in 2030 compared with 2005. Fabege already achieved an actual reduction in energy consumption for its entire portfolio of investment properties of 49 per cent back in 2018 and is now pressing on with its efficiency efforts.

Fabege's new energy efficiency target is divided into stages, the aim being to meet the first 50-per cent target this year. The next milestone, which is expected in 2023, is an average energy consumption of 80 kWh/sqm, which is an almost 60 per cent reduction compared with 2005.

At the turn of the year, Fabege reported consumption of 98 kWh/sqm and in 2005 the equivalent figure was 193 kWh/sqm. 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.

Operations Jan–Jun 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 low yield requirements on the market.

Property portfolio and property management

Fabege's Property Management 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 June 2019, Fabege owned 88 properties with a total rental value of SEK 3.1bn, lettable floor space of 1.3m sqm and a carrying amount of SEK 71.8bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 7.6bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 94 per cent (95). The occupancy rate in the investment property portfolio was 95 per cent (95).

During the period, 83 new leases were signed at a total rental value of SEK 82m (210), of which 83 per cent pertained to green leases. Lease terminations amounted to SEK –169m (87) including the Swedish Tax Agency's lease termination of SEK 107m in the first quarter. Thus accumulated net lettings totalled SEK −87m (123). Net lettings in the second quarter totalled SEK 20m. Rental contracts totalling SEK 130m were renegotiated, with an average rise in rental value of 20 per cent, reflecting the persistently strong trend on the rental market in the first half of the year. The retention rate during the period was 66 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. Realised changes in value totalled SEK 0m (88).

Changes in value of properties

The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Roughly 40 per cent of the properties were externally valued in the second 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 71.8bn (67.6).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 3,122m (5,278). The average yield requirement saw a slight decline to 4.04 per cent (4.13 at year-end). The change in value in the investment property portfolio of SEK 1,965m (3,561) was principally due to higher rent levels and lower yield requirements. In addition, unrealised changes in fair value of SEK 138m (132) were recognised relating to properties sold during the period. The project portfolio contributed a change in value of SEK 1,019m (1,585), mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

1 The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the January–June 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 88 properties, 59 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 83 per cent based on lettable space and 90 per cent based on annual rental value. Green leases account for 71 per cent of the total office space within Fabege.

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 77 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.

Pelaren 1 in Söderstaden sold to KPA Pension

The sale is consistent with Fabege's overriding strategy of divesting fully developed properties and creating new value by continuing to generate development rights in attractive growth areas in Stockholm.

The property transaction was completed as a corporate sale with an underlying property value of SEK 1.6bn, with transfer of ownership scheduled for 1 July. The sale generated a profit of SEK 138m before tax, which was recognised as an unrealised change in value in the second quarter of 2019.

Pelaren 1, with an area of approximately 21,500 sqm, currently forms a new landmark opposite the Tele2 Arena and Globen, on a site that used to be just a gravel square. Fabege's construction of the new office building has created a tranquil local street on Pastellvägen and separates off Nynäsvägen for residents. The ground floor houses a restaurant that is open to the public and contributes to a thriving street environment. Mobile operator 3 is the single largest tenant and has roughly 70 per cent of the building at its disposal.

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.

Projects and investments

The purpose of Fabege's project investments is to reduce vacancy rates and increase rents in the property portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and adding value. Property development is 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. Another aim is to have all new builds certified under BREEAM-SE.

During the period, investments in existing properties and projects totalled SEK 1,213m (1,568), of which investments in projects and development properties accounted for SEK 772m (1,311). The return on capital invested in the project portfolio was 132 per cent.

The capital invested in the investment property portfolio, which amounted to SEK 441m (257) and encompassed energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value.

Completed projects

In the second quarter of 2019, the new office building at part of Båtturen 2, Hammarby Sjöstad, was completed. The building is fully let and the tenant has taken up occupation. The property has been transferred to the investment property portfolio.

Major ongoing projects

Work on the project relating to the conversion and extension of Trikåfabriken 9 in Hammarby Sjöstad has now entered the final phase. The first tenants have moved in and work is currently underway on completion in preparation for tenants moving in during the summer and autumn. The occupancy rate is 80 per cent.

Tenant customisations for Skolverket at Fräsaren 12, Solna Business Park, are progressing. The investment is expected to amount to SEK 170m and will be completed for occupancy in November 2019. All significant procurements have been carried out according to budget.

The redevelopment project relating to part of Paradiset 23, Västra Kungsholmen, is continuing. The basic building investment is largely complete and work on tenant customisations will start during the summer. The property will be completed ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2020. The occupancy rate is 48 per cent.

The conversion of Fortet 2 into a hotel, long-stay accommodation, co-working and restaurant facilities is continuing. The investment has been increased by SEK 16m to SEK 136m regarding maintenance measures that have been brought forward. The property is fully let to KOM Hotell, which is owned by KFUM Central.

Work is progressing on the investment concerning Bilia's new facility at the Stora Frösunda 2 property in Solna. The groundwork is complete and work on construction of the frame has begun. The investment is expected to amount to roughly SEK 1,270m and the facility will be ready by the first quarter of 2021. The investment also extends to some costs relating to foundation work for the planned residential areas at the property.

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 is estimated to be SEK 730m. The property is now fully let to Nordic Choice Hotels and is expected to be ready for occupancy in Q1 2021. Foundation work has been completed and work has begun on construction of the frame.

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 94 per cent. Project planning is underway for stages two and three, with the flexibility to change the leasing form from tenant-owned apartments to 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 overall 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 value including tax, 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

Changeffect, SEKm
Rental income, total 1% 7.3
Rent level, commercial income 1% 27.5
Financial occupancy rate 1 percentage point 31.1
Property expenses 1% 7.0
Interest expense, rolling 12 months ¹ +/-1 percentage point 62 / 8
Interest expenses, longer term perspective 1 percentage point 275.4

The sensitivity analysis shows the effects on the Group's cash flow and earnings on an annualisedbasis after taking account of the full effect of each parameter.

¹ In 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.

RENTAL INCOME – GROWTH OVER NEXT FOUR QUARTERS

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.

Human resources

At the end of the period, 185 people (176) were employed by the Fabege Group.

Parent Company

Sales during the year amounted to SEK 165m (140) and earnings before appropriations and tax were SEK 3,029m (1,877).

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 July 3, part of the property Generatorn 2 in Flemingsberg was acquired from Skanska for SEK 60m.

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

The market outlook has not changed since the last quarter. Stockholm is strong and has a long-term growth forecast, which provides excellent prospects for Fabege's continued growth. 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 in 2019. 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 among other things, 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 1 January 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.

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

³ Definitionen according to IFRS.

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.

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 tax-deductible 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

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 build/complete redevelopment is in progress.

LEASE VALUE*

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

LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO, PROPERTIES

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 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 ON INVESTED CAPITAL IN THE PROJECT PORTFOLIO *

Change in value of project- and development properties divided by invested capital in project and development properties during the period

RETURN, SHARE

Dividend for the year divided by the share price at yearend.

SURPLUS RATIO*

Net operating income divided by rental income.

TOTAL RETURN PROPERTIES

Net operating income for the period plus unrealised and realised changes in the value of properties, divided by market value at start of period plus investments for the period.

This is Fabege

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 June 2019, Fabege owned 88 properties with a total market value of SEK 71.8bn. 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.
