HUFVUDSTADEN Interim Report January — March 2017

Q1

Interim Report January–March 2017

  • Gross profit rose by 5 per cent to SEK 321 million (305), which can be attributed to higher rental revenue.
  • Net revenue amounted to SEK 452 million (431), an increase of 5 per cent.
  • Profit after tax for the period was SEK 472 million (738), equivalent to SEK 2.29 per share (3.58). The decrease can be attributed to lower unrealized changes in value of the property holdings.
  • The fair value of the property holdings was set at SEK 37.0 billion (36.5 at the turn of the year), resulting in a net asset value of SEK 138 per share (138 at the turn of the year) following payment of a dividend of SEK 3.30 per share. The unrealized change in value of the property holdings for the period was SEK 322 million (689).
  • The equity ratio was 60 per cent (59), the net loan-to-value ratio was 16 per cent (18) and the interest coverage ratio multiple was 9.0 (9.0).
  • The rental vacancy level at the period-end was 5.2 per cent (4.3). Excluding vacant space due to current projects, the rental vacancy level was 3.3 per cent (2.3).

RESULTS

Property management1)

Net rents from property management during the period amounted to SEK 429.3 million (410.2). Gross profit amounted to SEK 310.7 million (296.1). The increase can be attributed mainly to higher gross rents in conjunction with new and renegotiated leases and indexation.

The turnover-based rent supplement is reported during the fourth quarter. The turnover-based rent supplement for the previous year was SEK 16.0 million. There are no other material seasonal variations in rents.

The property management results for each business area are reported on page 7.

Parking operations

Operations comprise parking operations at Parkaden AB in Stockholm. Net revenue was SEK 22.8 million (21.0). Expenses totalled SEK -12.6 million (-12.4) and the gross profit was SEK 10.2 million (8.6).

Other profit and loss items

Central administration totalled SEK -9.5 million (-9.2). Changes in the value of investment properties totalled SEK 321.7 million (689.3) and changes in interest derivatives totalled SEK 17.9 million (-5.2).

Financial income and expense

Net financial income and expense amounted to SEK -34.4 million (-32.9). The increase can be attributed mainly to higher borrowing.

Tax

The Group's tax for the period was SEK -144.5 million (-208.4), of which SEK -42.4 million (-26.0) was actual tax and SEK -102.1 million (-182.4) was deferred tax. The increase in actual tax can be attributed to an increase in profits, lower deductible project expenses and allocation of appropriations to specific periods. The decrease in deferred tax can be attributed to lower unrealized changes in the value of the property holdings.

Profit for the period

The consolidated profit after tax amounted to SEK 472.1 million (738.3). The decrease can be attributed to lower unrealized changes in value of the property holdings.

_____________________________________________ 1) The acquired property Inom Vallgraven 3:2 in Gothenburg is included with effect from March 1, 2016.

ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

The total investment in properties and equipment during the period was SEK 118.1 million (208.4). The decrease can be attributed to the acquisition during the previous year of the property Inom Vallgraven 3:2 in Gothenburg.

PROPERTY HOLDINGS

The fair value of the Hufvudstaden property holdings is based on an internal valuation, where the classification takes place on level 3 according to IFRS 13. The value assessed as at March 31, 2017 was SEK 36,956 million (36,517 at the turn of the year). The increase can be attributed to unrealized changes in value and investment in the property holdings. Rentable floor space totalled approximately 389,000 square meters (389,000 at the turn of the year).

The rental vacancy level as at March 31, 2017 was 5.2 per cent (3.9 at the turn of the year) and the total floor space vacancy level was 6.8 per cent (5.3 at the turn of the year). The increase in vacant space is due to a small number of major office tenants relocating. New leases for the vacated space have already been signed. The rental vacancy level, excluding projects in progress, totalled 3.3 per cent (2.6 at the turn of the year).

Property value and net asset value

At the end of each quarter, Hufvudstaden makes an internal valuation of each individual property. The purpose of the valuation is to assess the fair value of the property holdings. To assure the valuation, external valuations of independent parts of the property holdings are obtained at least once a year.

A continuous update is made during the year of the internal valuation of the properties in order to take account of purchases, sales and investments. Hufvudstaden also examines on a continuous basis whether there are other indications of changes in the fair value of the properties. This could take the form, for example, of major lettings, terminations and material changes in yield requirements.

In the light of the above, the assessed unrealized change in the value of the property holdings during the period was SEK 321.7 million (689.3). The total value of the property holdings as at March 31, 2017 was SEK 37.0 billion, including investments for the period. The unrealized increase in value can be attributed to the effect of rising market rents.

The average yield requirement at the above valuation point was 3.9 per cent (3.9 at the turn of the year).

Valuation method

Valuation of the property holdings is done by assessing each individual property's fair value. The valuation is made using a variation on the location price method, known as the net capitalization method. The method means that the market's yield requirement is set in relation to the net operating income of the properties.

The yield requirement is based on information compiled about the market's yield requirement for actual purchases and sales of comparable properties in similar locations. If there have been few or no transactions within the property's sub-area, an analysis is made of transactions in neighbouring areas. Even transactions that have yet to be finalized provide guidance on market yield requirements. The yield requirement can vary between different regions and different areas within the regions. Account is also taken of the type of property, the

technical standard, the construction of the building and major investment needs. For leasehold properties, the calculation was based on a yield requirement that was 0.25 percentage points higher than for equivalent properties where the land is freehold. The net operating income of the properties is based on market rental income, the long-term rental vacancy level and normalized operating and maintenance costs.

When making the valuation, the following yield requirement figures for office and retail properties have been applied:

Yield requirements, property valuation

Stockholm 3.5-4.0 per cent
Gothenburg 4.1-4.8 per cent
Property holdings, average 3.9 per cent

Sensitivity analysis

Fair value is an assessment of the probable sales price on the market at the time of the valuation. However, the price can only be set when a transaction has been completed. In the case of an external property valuation, a range is often given to indicate the degree of uncertainty surrounding the estimates of fair value. The range is usually +/- 5 per cent but can vary depending, among other things, on the market situation, the technical standard of the property and investment requirements. Hufvudstaden's property holdings are valued at SEK 37.0 billion with a degree of uncertainty of +/- 5 per cent, which means that the fair value varies by +/- SEK 1.8 billion. Below are the key factors that influence the valuation and the consequent impact on profit.

Net asset value

Based on the valuation of the property holdings, the non-current net asset value (EPRA NAV) was SEK 30.1 billion or SEK 146 per share. The current net asset value (EPRA NNNAV) was SEK 28.4 billion or SEK 138 per share following a deduction for estimated deferred tax. This assessment is made in the light of current tax legislation, which means that properties can be sold via a limited company without tax implications. The estimated deferred tax has been set at 5 per cent.

RENTAL MARKET

The demand for modern, flexible office space in prime locations in central Stockholm continued to be strong during the period. Vacant space in this category has remained at low levels and rents have

risen. In Stockholm's most attractive locations - in Bibliotekstan, at Norrmalmstorg/Hamngatan and in the Hötorget area - office rents were noted of between SEK 5,200 and SEK 7,500 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. Interest in prime-location retail premises in the same sub-markets continues to be strong. For retail premises in prime locations, the market rents were between SEK 14,000 and SEK 24,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

Demand for modern office premises in central sub-markets in Gothenburg remained positive, with a low level of vacant space. Market rents in prime locations have risen and are between SEK 2,500 and SEK 3,300 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. For retail premises, the market rents are between SEK 6,000 and SEK 15,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

The outcome from Group renegotiations of both retail and office premises has been positive.

FINANCING STRUCTURE

Hufvudstaden's borrowing as at March 31, 2017 amounted to SEK 6,700 million (6,650 at the turn of the year).

Hufvudstaden has an MTN programme totalling SEK 4.0 billion and the outstanding amount is SEK 3.2 billion. Outstanding commercial paper amounted to SEK 0.8 billion. Hufvudstaden ensures that at any point in time there are unutilized loan assurances to cover all outstanding commercial paper. The average fixed interest period was 1.9 years (1.9 at the turn of the year), the average capital tie-up period was 2.7 years (2.7 at the turn of the year) and the average annual equivalent rate of interest was 2.0 per cent (2.1 at the turn of the year). Net interest-bearing debt was SEK 6,043 million (5,536 at the turn of the year). To achieve the desired interest payment structure, use is made of interest derivatives. The underlying credit of SEK 3,000 million (3,250 at the turn of the year) is hedged via interest derivatives. In addition, SEK 2,700 million of the total borrowing carry a fixed rate of interest. The fair value of all interest derivatives as at March 31, 2017 was SEK -74.0 million (-91.9 at the turn of the year). The negative figure can be explained by a general fall in market interest rates. Derivatives are valued at fair value in the Balance Sheet. All derivatives are classified as level 2 according to IFRS 13. There is no set-off of financial assets and liabilities and there are no agreements that permit netting. Other financial assets and liabilities are reported at the accrued acquisition value, which in all material respects concurs with the fair value.
