CREATING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS

Christian Hermelin, CEO

Target 2019: 73% Long-term target: 75% by 2022

Target: SEK 2,500m per year over a business cycle

Target: at least 50% (from 2018) Result Q1 2019 142%

Target: at least SEK 80m
The Stockholm rental market is still characterised by low vacancies and rising rent levels. New lettings and renegotiations contribute to growing cash flows. I see no signs of a slowdown at this time. The negative net lettings during the period were the result of the decision by the Swedish Tax Agency to move to new premises. This poses a challenge, but with our good locations and dedicated employees, I am convinced that we will soon be able to announce more newly signed leases.
At the end of last year we completed several of our major new construction projects. These projects, combined with the renegotiations of the past year, contribute to the current growing cash flow. Meanwhile, interest rates remain low and taken together, this meant growth in profit from property management of an impressive 33 per cent. The surplus ratio declined compared with the previous year. 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 71 per cent (72).
Since several project properties were completed at the end of last year, the total project volume dropped somewhat. Investments during the first quarter totalled SEK 658m, of which SEK 451m related to project investments with a return of 142 per cent. Our value-generating projects continue to contribute to Fabege's total performance. We are intensively working on completing more scheduled development rights to offer to office customers on the Stockholm market.
The capital market, which was characterised by great turmoil at the end of last year, has recovered. Investors continue to show strong interest in Fabege's bonds and we have taken advantage of this opportunity to increase borrowing through our green MTN programme. We are also extremely pleased to have obtained new financing with a ten-year term. Both the level of capital tied up and fixed-term maturity increased during the quarter.
Stefan Dahlbo was recruited as my successor and I will hand the baton over to him as soon as possible. Stefan is an excellent choice. With his well-known humble leadership style and his background in both property and finance, I am convinced that he will be a great leader as Fabege continues on its successful journey. And of course he has an entire organisation with talented and dedicated employees to help him along the way.
Fabege has every opportunity to continue its successful value-creating development. Stockholm is strong and growing, which provides excellent prospects for Fabege's continued growth. Fabege is well-positioned and can offer office space in attractive, modern and sustainable districts in Greater Stockholm - both north and south. Creating the right conditions for customers is largely related to being where the customers want to be.
Christian Hermelin, CEO
Profit after tax for the period was SEK 1,148m (2,539), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 3.47 (7.67). Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,449m (3,097). Earnings from property management improved, but lower changes in value meant that profit before tax fell in comparison with the previous year.
Rental income rose to SEK 718m (614) and net operating income rose to SEK 509m (439), of which SEK 7m that related to ground rent, which will be recognised beginning in 2019 as a separate line item under net financial items. In an identical portfolio, rental income grew by roughly 19 per cent (13), of which around 75 per cent related to growth through tenants moving in to 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 19 per cent (17). 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 71 per cent (72).
No property transactions were carried out during the first quarter, for which reason realised changes in value of properties were SEK 0m (83).
Total unrealised changes in value amounted to SEK 1,324m (2,700). The unrealised change in the value of the investment property portfolio of SEK 683m (1,430) was mainly attributable to increased rent levels for new lettings and renegotiations. The average yield requirement declined to 4.11 per cent (4.13). The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 641m (1,138), primarily due to development gains in the major project properties.
The share in profit of associated companies was SEK −7m (−21) and related to a capital contribution to Arenabolaget during the year.
Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK −238m (40). Newly subscribed interest rate swaps and somewhat lower long-term interest rates led to an increase in the deficit value during the period. Net interest items declined to SEK −108m (-126). Increased borrowing was offset by lower average interest.
The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 503m (424), representing a surplus ratio of 73 per cent (72). The occupancy rate was 95 per cent (95). Earnings from property management totalled SEK 388m (284). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 683m (1,430).
The Property Development segment generated net operating income of SEK 6m (15), giving a surplus ratio of 22 per cent (58). Earnings from property management totalled SEK −22m (−10). Unrealised changes in the value of properties totalled SEK 641m (1,138), corresponding to a yield of 142 per cent on invested capital in the project portfolio.
Earnings from transactions totalled SEK 0m (215).

1 The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the period January–March 2018 and for balance sheet items as at 31 December 2018.
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.
During the first quarter, Fabege extended and expanded a green bank loan of just over SEK 1bn at 10 years. It is pleasing to see that the bank market can now offer long maturities at competitive rates. The number of green funding sources is also increasing, which is a good sign that the financial market is becoming increasingly serious about taking responsibility for long-term sustainability.
After the turmoil at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the bond market has stabilised and demand is robust once again, especially for green bonds. In March Fabege issued bonds for a total of SEK 650m, including SEK 400m with settlement date in early April, with about 5 years to maturity within the scope if its MTN programme.
The proportion of outstanding commercial paper is being kept at the lower level that was initiated during the fall, 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 first quarter of the year, fixed-interest periods of a total of SEK 1,400bn were agreed in the form of interest rate swaps with maturities of between seven and ten years. At the end of the quarter, Fabege's derivatives portfolio comprised interest rate swaps totalling SEK 13,800m 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 13m, mainly pertaining to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and costs relating to bond and commercial paper programmes. During the period, interest totalling SEK 4m (17) relating to project properties was capitalised.

The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK −301m (-558). The amount includes resolution of deferred tax in the amount of SEK 0m (105) in connection with property sales. Current tax of SEK 9m relates 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 are unlikely to have any material impact on the tax calculation for 2019, provided net interest items can be efficiently distributed across the Group. However, rising market rates will increase the negative effect (assuming cash flow remains generally the same).
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 36,102m (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 109 (106), based on the number of shares after the split. EPRA NAV was SEK 130 per share (125) and EPRA NNNAV amounted to SEK 125 per share (120).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 370m (295). Changes in working capital had an impact on cash flow of SEK 93m (−382). Investing activities had an impact of SEK −655m (−615) on cash flow, while financing activities had a positive impact of SEK 243m (353) on cash flow. In investing activities, cash flow was driven by property transactions and projects. Overall, cash and cash equivalents changed by SEK 51m (−349) during the period.
Fabege's Board of Directors has decided on the following financial targets for the business.
We will produce our own heating and cooling in the vibrant new Haga Norra district. Bilia was first with 43 wells for geothermal energy at a depth of 330 metres. Once the district is completed in 2027, about 160 geopipes will supply climate smart energy to all offices, homes and retail premises in the district.
Geothermal energy enables us to take advantage of the thermal energy stored in the ground in order to produce heating and cooling in a locally sourced, sustainable and energy efficient manner.
"For us at Fabege it is important to always consider the environment and our footprint when we create new buildings and districts. It feels great knowing that we will be able to supply the entire Haga Norra district with geothermal energy, with no stress on the climate," says Mia Häggström, head of sustainability at Fabege.

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. At 31 March 2019, Fabege owned 89 properties with a total rental value of SEK 3.0bn, lettable floor space of 1.3m sqm and a book value of SEK 69.6bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 7.7bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 94 per cent (94). The occupancy rate in the investment property portfolio was 95 per cent (95).
During the period, 36 new leases were signed at a total rental value of SEK 36m (55), of which xx per cent pertained to Green leases. Lease terminations amounted to SEK 143m (46) after the Swedish Tax Agency terminated its lease to vacate the premises. Thus net lettings totalled SEK −107m (9). Rental contracts totalling SEK 78m were renegotiated, with an average rise in rental value of 19 per cent, reflecting the persistently strong trend on the rental market during the year. The retention rate during the period was 63 per cent (79). The decrease is due to the Swedish Tax Agency terminating its agreement for relocation.
No property transactions were completed during the period. Realised changes in value totalled SEK 0m (83).
The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Approximately 46 per cent of the properties were externally valued in the first 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 69.6bn (67.6).
Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 1,324m (2,700). The average yield requirement saw a slight decline to 4.11 per cent (4.13). The change in value in the investment property portfolio of SEK 683m (1,430) was principally due to higher rent levels and somewhat lower yield requirements. The project portfolio contributed a change in value of SEK 641m (1,138), mainly due to development gains in major project 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 89 properties, 56 were certified, or in the process of certification, at the end of the period. Overall, this represents 82 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.
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 93 per cent based on lettable space and 96 per cent based on annual rental value. Green leases account for 71 per cent of the total office space within Fabege.
In 2016, Fabege launched the world's first green MTN programme. Green financing offers Fabege better conditions on the capital market and access to more financing alternatives. All Fabege's Swedish bank financiers are providing opportunities for green financing, as are the capital market and European Investment Bank. The aim is for 100 per cent of the company's financing to be green. The proportion of green financing totalled 66 per cent of outstanding credits at the end of the period.
Employees who are fit and well are more committed and have more energy to look after our customers, which is why here at Fabege we have a broad and long-term focus on health. This manifests itself partly in spreading knowledge within a broad spectrum of issues covering everything from diet and exercise to sleep and relationships, and partly via collective physical training sessions paired with time for recovery. We want our employees to have a sound work environment and to have time and energy for life outside of work. Health is also an important factor when developing sustainable districts. The most important part of the city are the people! Fabege wants to make it easier for everyone in our districts to live a healthier life. For example, we are now offering running at lunchtime in Hagaparken in collaboration with Anna Hellström and SOS Children's Villages for the third consecutive year.
The Board of Directors of Fabege has appointed Stefan Dahlbo to serve as the new CEO and President. He is currently CEO and President of the listed investment company Byggmästare Anders J Ahlström Holding AB and has solid and extensive experience both as CEO and board member of both listed and unlisted companies. For example, in the past he has served on the Boards of Directors of Fabege, Wihlborgs and Klövern. Stefan Dahlbo will take over in his new role as soon as possible.
In previous roles, Stefan Dahlbo has been known for his excellent leadership and entrepreneurial skills, which are important properties in a company that is strongly influenced by visionary and complex urban development projects with many parties involved and where good relationships are crucial.
Christian Hermelin notified the Board on 16 December 2018 that he intended to leave the company in 2019. He has been active at Fabege for 26 years, including as CEO and President for the past 13 years.
Fabege's new energy efficiency targets are divided into phases. The first sub-target 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 close to a 60 per cent reduction 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.

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 658m (786), of which investments in projects and development properties accounted for SEK 451m (638). The return on capital invested in the project portfolio was 142 per cent.
The capital invested in the investment property portfolio, which amounted to SEK 206m (148) and encompassed energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, several major projects were completed that were transferred to the management portfolio. No additional projects were completed in the first quarter of 2019.
Work is continuing on the project relating to the conversion and extension of Trikåfabriken 9 in Hammarby Sjöstad. The project is in its final phase and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency will move in as the first tenant in April. As a result of increased costs and an accelerated schedule, the final cost forecast was adjusted up to SEK 555m. The occupancy rate is 76 per cent. Other tenants will move in during the summer and fall of 2019.
Construction of the office building at Båtturen 2 in Hammarby Sjöstad is progressing according to schedule, with completion expected this summer. The investment is estimated at SEK 186m. The property is fully let to Goodbye Kansas, with occupancy scheduled for June 2019.
The redevelopment project relating to part of Paradiset 23, Västra Kungsholmen, is continuing. Now that the demolition has been completed, work is under way on installations. The investment is estimated at SEK 239m. 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, coworking and restaurant facilities has gained momentum. The investment is estimated at SEK 120m. The property is fully let to KOM Hotell, which is owned by KFUM Central. Planning and some interior demolition work is underway.
Planning and groundwork has begun on the investment concerning Bilia's new facility at the Stora Frösunda 2 property in Solna. A turnkey contract has been procured. 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 planned for to be a zero-energy structure and will be certified to the standards BREEAM-SE 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. Planning and foundation work are underway and the contract has been procured.
After ICA left part of Fräsaren 12 in Solna Business Park, tenant customisation has been initiated for the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket). The investment is expected to amount to SEK 170m and will be completed for occupancy in November 2019.

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 450m excluding purchase of the land. A parking area and residential units are currently under construction as part of stage 1, including 69 apartments. The selling rate in stage 1 amounts to 87 per cent. Planning is underway for stages 2 and 3, with a total of an additional 207 apartments. The project is financed externally with a construction loan. Income recognition will not occur until the end of the project.
In August, a decision was made regarding the development of the Lagern 3 property in Råsunda into tenant-owner apartments. The project will be managed together with the TB Group in a 50/50 per cent co-owned company. The property, which is owned by Fabege, will be sold to the co-owned development company in the spring. The investment is estimated to be SEK 240m in total excluding purchase of the land.
Furthermore, a decision has been taken to develop a housing project in cooperation with Brabo at the Stora Frösunda 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 project is currently in the planning phase.
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 under way 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 each 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 items in net financial expense have been allocated to the segments in a standardised manner based on each segment's share of the total property value (indirect income and expenses). Property assets are directly attributed to each segment and recognised on the balance sheet date.

| 0 | 0 | 50.2% | 38.1% |
| -1 | -543 | 49.9% | 38.3% |
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.

| Property expenses | 1% | 27.0 |
| Interest expense, rolling 12 months ¹ | +/-1 percentage point | 47 / 7 |
| Interest expenses, longer term perspective | 1 percentage point | 265.2 |
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.

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.
At the end of the period, 184 people (167) were employed by the Fabege Group.
Sales during the year amounted to SEK 99m (72) and earnings before appropriations and tax were SEK −327m (−88).
Net investments in property, equipment and shares totalled SEK 0m (0).

¹Share of contracted rent
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 the Fabege does not own any treasury shares.
On 2 April, in accordance with the Board's proposal, the AGM resolved on a dividend of SEK 2.65 per share, totalling SEK 877m. The dividend was paid on 9 April 2018.
On 2 April the Board of Directors of Fabege appointed Stefan Dahlbo to serve as the new CEO and President. He is currently CEO and President of the listed investment company Byggmästare Anders J Ahlström Holding AB and has solid and extensive experience both as CEO and board member of both listed and unlisted companies. For example, in the past he has served on the Boards of Directors of Fabege, Wihlborgs and Klövern. Stefan Dahlbo will take over in his new role as soon as possible. Christian Hermelin will remain as CEO until Stefan Dahlbo takes over.
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.
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.
The Stockholm market is robust and Fabege is well equipped to harness the opportunities that exist and to cope with any challenges. Although an economic slowdown is fast approaching, we can see that Stockholm will continue to grow for the foreseeable future. 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.
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.
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 is not expected to 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 IFRS Interpretations Committee are deemed to impact the Group's financial position to any significant extent.
Stockholm, 12 April 2019
CHRISTIAN HERMELIN Chief Executive Officer
This Interim-report has not been examined by the company's auditors.
On 31 March 2019, Fabege had a total of 39,015 known shareholders. The 15 largest owners controlled 45.7 per cent of the total number of shares and votes.
Fabege will issue as a dividend to its shareholders the portion of the company's profit that is not required to consolidate or develop operations. Under current market conditions, this means that the dividend is expected to sustainably account for at least 50 per cent of profit from continuous property management and realised gains from the sale of properties after tax.
On 2 April, in accordance with the Board's proposal, the AGM resolved on a dividend of SEK 2.65 per share, totalling SEK 877m. The dividend was paid on 9 April 2018.
At the 2018 AGM, a decision was made to carry out a 2:1 share split. The share split meant that the number of shares in Fabege AB (publ) increased from 165,391,572 to 330,783,144. The new shares were registered in the shareholders' accounts on 30 April 2018.

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.

³ Definitionen according to IFRS.
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.
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.
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.
Interest-bearing liabilities divided by the carrying amount of the properties at the end of the period.
Dividend for the year divided by the share price at year-end.
Parent Company shareholders' share of equity according to the balance sheet, divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.
Lease value divided by rental value at the end of the period.
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.
Shareholders' equity per share following the reversal of fixed-income derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet.
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.
Estimated market rent for vacant rents divided by the annual rental value for the entire property portfolio.
Properties that are being actively managed on an ongoing basis.
Properties in which a conversion or extension is in progress or planned that has a significant impact on the property's net operating income. Net operating income is affected either directly by the project or by limitations on lettings prior to impending improvement work.
Lease value plus estimated annual rent for vacant premises after a reasonable general renovation.
Cash flow from operating activities (after changes in working capital) divided by the average number of shares outstanding.
Stated as an annual value. Index-adjusted basic rent under the rental agreement plus rent supplements.
Land and development properties and properties in which a new build/complete redevelopment is in progress.
New lettings during the period less terminations to vacate.
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.
Net operating income including ground rent less central administration in relation to net interest items (interest expenses less interest income).
Interest-bearing liabilities divided by rolling twelvemonth net operating income less central administration.
Interest-bearing liabilities divided by shareholders' equity.
Shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest divided by total assets.
Total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities, provisions and deferred tax.
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.
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.
Proportion of leases that are extended in relation to the p portion of cancellable leases.
Net operating income divided by rental income.
*This key ratio is operational and is not regarded as an alternative performance measure according to ESMA's guidelines.
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 31 March 2019, Fabege owned 89 properties with a total market value of SEK 69.6bn. The rental value was SEK 3.0bn.
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.
Fabege's operational activities are conducted in three business areas: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions.
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 attractiveness of an area benefit many of Fabege's customers.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
High-quality property development is the second key cornerstone of our business. Fabege has long-standing expertise in pursuing extensive property development projects, with the aim of attracting long-term tenants to properties that have not yet been fully developed and can be redesigned based on the customer's specific requirements.
Property transactions are an integral part of Fabege's business model and make a significant contribution to the company's earnings. The company continuously analyses its property portfolio to take advantage of opportunities to generate capital growth through acquisitions and divestments.
