Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB (publ) is a property company that focuses on commercial properties in the Öresund region. Its property portfolio is located in Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg and Copenhagen. In Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg Wihlborgs is the leading property company.
The book value for the Company's properties totals SEK 34.0 billion. The annual rental value of the properties is SEK 2.4 billion. Wihlborgs shares are quoted on the Large Cap List of NASDAQ Stockholm.
The Öresund region's property market remains buoyant and Wihlborgs has once again posted its best ever results.
The healthy demand is reflected in very strong net lettings. In the second quarter, we signed leases to a value of SEK 93 million and the net of new and terminated contracts was plus SEK 48 million.
The larger new contracts included the following tenants: the City of Malmö, Emmaus Björkå, Mediplast, the Swedish Defence Recruitment Agency, CDON, Tele2, Arjo Huntleigh, MAN Truck & Bus, Ferrero Scandinavia, BoneSupport and Hjulex. The wide variety of new tenants and properties that have generated the buoyant lettings is a sign of our strength. We are successful at attracting new tenants and also at expanding relationships with a number of existing customers — both public and private sector.
Strong net lettings will build the foundation for increased earnings moving forward. But we are already posting healthy growth. In the second quarter, our rental income grew 9 percent to SEK 547 million. The
operating surplus rose 12 percent to SEK 422 million, corresponding to a surplus ratio of 77 percent, in parallel with a 14 percent increase in income from property management to SEK 290 million. Once again, we have posted a record quarter in terms of income and operating earnings.
The value of our properties rose to just over SEK 34 billion. In the second quarter, changes in property value amounted to SEK 496 million, which was largely driven by the strong lettings.
Access to capital remains favourable, not least through the bond market. In the second quarter, we carried out another issue of unsecured bonds with a three-year maturity carrying a floating interest rate of 1.05 percent above STIBOR 3M.
Healthy earnings and increasing values mean that our balance sheet remains strong. The loan-to-value ratio is 53.1 percent and the equity/assets ratio is 34.4 percent. Our EPRA NAV was SEK 203 per share at the end of the first six months, up 18 percent yearon-year.
We continue to invest in new projects. The Sirius 3 property in Malmö is approaching completion and is essentially fully let. At the Posthornet 1 property in Lund, which will be completed at the start of next year, only around 2,000 m2 of a total of 11,000 m2 remains to be let. In Hyllie, we are building 9,000 m2 at the Gimle 1 property, which is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2019, and only about 20 percent of the space remains available. Looking forward, investment levels will remain high even in the forthcoming years. Aside from the above projects, we are also working on the Origo (Bure 2) office project, which comprises almost 7,000 m2 in Hyllie, and the development of the Oceanhamnen property in Helsingborg where we can construct a new office building of 13,000 m2. Naturally, we are also continuing to drive development of the Nyhamnen area in Malmö.
Given the growing market, an exciting project portfolio, buoyant earnings and a stable balance sheet, I see every prospect of Wihlborgs continuing to help our tenants grow and for Wihlborgs to continue delivering profitable growth to our shareholders.
After July 1, we have signed an agreement with the pension company Danica to acquire 15 modern office properties in Denmark comprising 165,000 m2 for a purchase consideration of 1.8 billion DKK. Rental income is 130 MDKK per year with 9 percent vacancy which give an initial yield of 6 percent. Possession will be taken in the third quarter of 2017 with economic impact from 1 August. With this transaction, our business is growing in Denmark and we thereby strengthen our position in Herlev / Ballerup and in Höje-Taastrup where most of the properties are located. The acquisition is loan-financed and, momentarily, our loan-to-value ratio rises to about 56 percent. However, we expect that, due to our earnings, this will gradually decrease to current levels over the coming quarters.
Swedish economic sentiment remains very positive.
The Swedish economy is strong, but the Riksbank (the Swedish Central Bank) now assesses that it will take longer before inflation stabilises at around 2 percent. Considerable uncertainty remains regarding political and economic developments in the macro environment. Therefore, the Riksbank left the repo rate unchanged at negative 0.5 percent at its meeting on 3 July and bond purchases will continue in 2017. The first rate increase is now not expected until mid-2018.
The June Economic Tendency Survey signalled continued optimism in the Swedish economy. The Economic Sentiment Indicator rose from 111.7 in May to 112.1. The retail confidence indicator climbed a full 6.9 points and now points toward much stronger conditions than normal due to better sales. The manufacturing sector was unusually satisfied with the size of its order books and the confidence indicator rose 1.7 points to a full 119.9. Consumers also have a
positive outlook on their own finances even if confidence declined in the Swedish economy.
In the first quarter of 2017, GDP growth in Sweden was 0.4 percent compared with the preceding quarter. GDP increased 2.2 percent compared with the same period in 2016. Growth has been even stronger in Denmark. In the first quarter of 2017, GDP growth was 0.6 percent compared with the preceding quarter and a full 2.6 percent compared with the same period in 2016.
According to Savills, transaction volumes in the Nordic region hit an all-time high in the first six months of 2017, up 14 percent year-on-year. International capital is attracted to the strong, stable Nordic property market and the number of foreign buyers is at a record level. At SEK 78 billion, the volume in Sweden was slightly lower year-on-year, since the Norrporten transaction boosted last year's figure with a property value of slightly more than SEK 22 billion. Since the presentation in March of a legislation proposal (called Paketeringsutredningen), which can substantially impact the sector, according to Savills, it is somewhat surprising that the volume is as high as it is even if borrowing remains cheap, rents are increasing and profitability remains healthy in the property sector.
Comparative figures for income statement items relate to values for the corresponding period 2016 and balance sheet items as of 31-12-2016.
Rental income was SEK 1,087 million (997). Other revenues from property management was SEK 2 million (2) relating to payments for early lease termination.
The increase in rental income is attributable to property acquisitions, renegotiations, new lettings and indexation in contracts.
The total growth in rental income was 9 percent compared with the corresponding period 2016.
The occupancy rate for managed properties, is 93 percent which is an increase by one percentage point compared with previous previous year-end.
During the period new leases were signed to a value of SEK 155 million (94) on an annualized basis. Lease terminations totalled SEK 84 million (59). This represents a net letting of SEK 71 million (35).
Head of Research Jenny Moberg and Project Manager Rickard Berlin discuss Wihlborgs' development with Ulrika Hallengren, Director of Projects & Developments.
Total property costs amounted to SEK 279 (266) million. The increase is mainly explained by a larger property portfolio compared to the same period last year.
The historical summary at the bottom of page 14 illustrates how costs vary over the different quarters of the year.
The operating surplus including other income amounted to SEK 810 million (733). Excluding payments for early lease termination, the operating surplus totalled SEK 808 million (731), representing a surplus ratio of 74 percent (73).
The costs for central administration were SEK 26 million (24).
Net interest totalled SEK -233 million (-216), of which interest income accounted for SEK 6 million (6).
Interest expenses, for the period were SEK 239 million (222). The increase in interest expense is mainly due to increased borrowings.
At the end of the period, the average interest rate, including the cost for credit agreements, was 2.75 percent, compared with 2.80 percent at year-end.
Income from property management including other income amounted to SEK 551 million (493). Excluding payments for early lease termination, the income from property management amounted to SEK 549 million (491).
The pre-tax profit, i.e. after value changes on properties and derivatives, was SEK 1,145 million (1,296). Changes in value of properties amounted to 552 Mkr (1,330) and value changes on derivatives amounted to SEK 42 million (-527).
The profit after taxes was SEK 892 million (1,383).
In May, we signed an agreement with Tele2 for 2,270 m2 in the Sirius 3 property in Nyhamnen which is now essentially fully let. Occupancy is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2017. Other tenants include LA Partners and JM.
The summaries below are based on Wihlborgs' property portfolio as of 30 June 2017. Rental income relates to contracted rental income on an annual basis as of 1 July 2017.
The surplus ratio is based on the properties' earning capacity on an annual basis based on rental income for July 2017, operating and maintenance costs, property administration on a rolling twelve-month basis, property tax and leasehold rent.
Wihlborgs' property portfolio consists of commercial properties in the Öresund region, located in Malmö, Helsingborg, Lund and Copenhagen. The property portfolio 30 June 2017 consisted of 289 properties (282) with a lettable area of 1,858,000 m2 (1,849,000). Ten of the properties (10) are leasehold rights. The properties' carrying amount was SEK 34,019 million (32,755), which corresponds to the estimated market value. The total rental value was SEK 2,381 million (2,349) and the contracted rental income on annual basis SEK 2,191 million (2,137). The economic occupancy rate for Office/ Retail properties was 94 percent (93) and for Industrial/Warehousing properties 90 percent (88). The rental value for Office/Retail properties represented 76 percent and Industrial/Warehousing properties 23 percent of the total rental value.
The operating surplus from managed properties, excluding property administration and Projects & Land, is SEK 1,759 million (1,697) which with a carrying amount of SEK 32,248 million (31,449) corresponds to a direct return of 5.4 percent (5.4). Broken down by property category, this is 5.0 percent (5.0) for Office/Retail and 7.5 percent (7.3) for Industrial/Warehousing.
Wihlborgs has signed a lease with the confectionary company Ferrero Scandinavia for 900 m2 in the Dungen (Gimle 1) office building, under construction in Hyllie. Swedish Customs (Tullverket) will lease 6,400 m2 in the same building.
According to an internal valuation, with external support from Malmöbryggan Fastighetsekonomi, of the properties on 30 June 2017, their value had risen by SEK 552 million (1,330).
Fair value is determined by a yield-based method. The value is considered to correspond to the yield value that is calculated from normally five-year cash flow analyses. The value of newbuild projects in progress is determined as the value as if the project were complete, less deduction of the remaining cost. Undeveloped land is valued according to the comparable sales method.
As of 30 June 2017, the carrying amount for the properties was SEK 34,019 million.

Some of the financial metrics that Wihlborgs presents in the interim report are not defined in accordance with IFRS. Wihlborgs is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable complementary information to investors and the company's management, since they enable evaluation of the company's performance. As all companies do not apply the same approach to calculating these financial metrics, they are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies.
Accordingly, these metrics should not be viewed as replacements for metrics defined under IFRS. On the next page, definitions of metrics are presented that, with a few exceptions, are not defined in accordance with IFRS.
The key ratios are based on the statements of income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flow. Some of the historic data is compiled from the historical summary on page 14.
Profit for the period as a percentage of average equity, excluding noncontrolling interests. Average equity refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio comprises a measure of the profitability in relation to shareholders' equity.
Earnings before interest, value changes in derivatives and taxes (EBIT) as a percentage of average total assets. Average total assets refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In interim reports, the return is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio comprises a measure of the profitability in relation to the total assets employed.
Equity as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period. The ratio provides a measure of the financial strength of the company.
Income from property management, plus interest expense, divided by interest expense. The ratio measures the degree to which earnings can decline without jeopardising interest payments or, alternatively, how much interest expense can increase before income from property management becomes negative.
Borrowings as a percentage of the properties' carrying amounts. The ratio shows the degree of borrowing on the property portfolio.
Interest-bearing liabilities relative to equity. Interest-bearing liabilities correspond to borrowings in the balance sheet. The ratio illustrates the relationship between borrowings and equity and, thereby, the gearing and financial strength.
The operating surplus, excluding payments for early lease termination, shown as a percentage of rental income. In the income statement, the item "other income" is used for payments for early lease termination. The ratio illustrates the proportion of rental income that remains after deducting property management costs.
The operating surplus, excluding payments for early lease termination, shown as a percentage of the properties' average carrying amount. The average carrying amount refers to the average of the opening and closing values for the respective period. In the income statement, the item "other income" is used for payments for early lease termination. In interim reports, the yield is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations. The ratio illustrates the yield on the property portfolio without taking account of its financing costs.
Earnings for the period divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Definition according to IFRS.
Earnings per share before tax divided by the average number of shares outstanding.
Income from property management divided by the average number of shares outstanding.
Cash flows from operating activities divided by the average number of shares outstanding.
The relationship between the closing balances for equity and the number of shares at the end of the period.
Calculated as Equity per share I, but not charged with deferred tax. Equity is increased by the addition of the carrying amount for deferred tax liabilities.
Equity per share following the reversal of interest-rate derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet.
Proposed dividend as a percentage of the year-end share price.
Share price performance plus actual dividend relative to the share price at the start of the year.
Market price per share divided by earnings per share. The multiple is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.
Market price per share divided by income from property management, charged with nominal tax at 22 %, per share. The multiple is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.
These key figures are based on the property table on page 10. The table shows the estimated rental value, rental income and property expenses on an annualised basis with an unchanged property portfolio, rental income and lettings portfolio compared with the end of the last quarter.
Rental income plus estimated market-level rents for unlet space.
Operating surplus as a percentage of the carrying amount for the properties at the end of the period.
Rental income on an annualised basis divided by lettable area.
Operating surplus divided by lettable area.
Rental income as a percentage of rental value.
Operating surplus as a percentage of rental income.
