CEO's comments

Wihlborgs continues to grow and once again reported increased earnings for the quarter.

Rental income during the second quarter amounted to SEK 500 million, up SEK 20 million or slightly more than 4 percent year-on-year. While income increased, property expenses remained unchanged, which meant that the operating surplus rose by SEK 20 million to SEK 377 million. This corresponds to a surplus ratio of 75.4 percent, a full percentage point higher than in the year-earlier period. Once again, we have reported record-breaking figures for a single quarter in terms of both rental income and operating surplus.

Thanks to these favourable quarterly results, our balance sheet has been strengthened significantly. Our property value has now surpassed SEK 30 billion and our loan-tovalue ratio has fallen to 55 percent. Never before has our balance sheet been so strong.

We have noted substantial demand for properties as investment objects and, over the past quarter, transactions in our home market have been completed at historically high prices. According to a review of our own properties, this has resulted in an average reduction in the dividend yield requirement of 0.25 percentage points since the year end. The increase in value for the quarter amounted to a full SEK 1,027 million.

We made no major acquisitions during the spring. However, we carried out a number of divestments in order to seize business opportunities and gradually improve our property portfolio.

Our project activities are progressing steadily. The new

offices at Knutpunkten in Helsingborg have now been completed and are fully let, and tenants are moving in gradually during the year. Ubåtshallen in Malmö has been fully renovated and Försäkringskassan (the Swedish Social Insurance Agency) moved in during the quarter. Gängtappen in Malmö is nearing completion and Länsförsäkringar will move in during the summer. The redevelopment of Nora in Malmö will be completed in the third quarter. Work has started on the new builds Sirius in Malmö and Posthornet in Lund, which will provide these markets with 7,000 and 11,000 m2 of office space, respectively, adjacent to Malmö and Lund central stations. Although no contracts have yet been signed, these projects have attracted considerable interest.

The rental market remains strong. The new lettable areas that have been added to the market, particularly in Malmö, have been absorbed without an increase in vacancies at the same time as the rent levels for newly built offices has increased. During the quarter, we posted a favourable net

lettings trend, up SEK 23 million. The major new contracts signed during the quarter included contracts with Aller Media, which will move into premises of approximately 3,500 m2 in Erik Menved, which have now been vacated by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency as part of its move to Ubåtshallen. The City of Malmö also signed a contract for some 6,500 m2 in Uven, which will be vacated by Länsförsäkringar when it moves to Gängtappen.

Despite political concerns in our operating environment, we continue to experience favourable demand in the Öresund region. Nevertheless, we are well aware that we need to work hard every day if we are to remain the preferred choice of our existing and potential tenants. By doing so, we can – and will – continue to generate profitable growth.

MARKET COMMENTS

On Midsummer Eve, the world awoke to the shocking results of the Brexit referendum: the people of the UK had voted to leave the EU. The exact effects of Brexit remain highly uncertain. No country has ever left the EU before. However, economists agree that the consequences will most certainly be negative – both for the UK, and for the EU and Sweden. The UK is Sweden's fourth largest export market and the nation's exit from the EU will impact Swedish businesses. The scope of this impact will be determined by which type of trade agreement the UK manages to negotiate with the EU.

As a result of Brexit, the ECB expects growth in the EMU to decline by 0.3-0.5 percent during 2016-2018, compared with earlier forecasts. An even sharper decline is expected for the UK.

Brexit has driven interest-rate levels to new record lows. Following the Brexit vote, it appears less likely that the FED will raise the interest rate this year. At the monetary policy meeting on 5 July, Sweden's Riksbank decided to leave the repo rate unchanged and to lower the rate path. No rate increase is expected until late

  1. A few weeks ago, the Danish central bank lowered its forecast for GDP growth for this year and next year. Growth is expected to total 1 percent in 2016 and 1.6 percent in 2017.

Activity levels in the Swedish rental market were high during the first half of 2016. Malmö remains an attractive location for head offices. In addition to Aller Media, both Advenica and Findus announced during the quarter that they are aiming to relocate their employees from Råby and Bjuv to Malmö.

There remains considerable interest in property investments in the region and two major transactions were carried out in central Malmö and Hyllie during the second quarter of 2016, with Skanska selling its Malmö Live and Klipporna office projects. The buyers in these record-breaking transactions were Folksam and Ikano, respectively.

According to Savills, the transaction volume in the Swedish property market during the first six months of the year was the highest to date for any first six months. At SEK 98 billion, the transaction volume for the period was a full 48 percent higher year-on-year.

Income, expenses and profits, Jan–Jun 2016

Comparative figures for income statement items relate to values for the corresponding period 2015 and balance sheet items as of 31-12-2015.

Rental income

Rental income was SEK 997 million (950). Other income from property management was SEK 2 million (20) relating to payments for early lease termination.

The increase in rental income is attributable to property acquisitions, completed projects, renegotiations, new lettings and indexation in contracts.

The total growth in rental income was 5 percent compared with the corresponding period 2015.

The occupancy rate for managed properties, excluding Projects & Land, remains unchanged compared with previous year-end, 91 percent.

During the period new leases were signed to a value of SEK 94 million (114) on an annualized basis. Lease terminations totalled SEK 59 million (112). This represents a net letting income of SEK 35 million (2).

Wihlborgs' AGM is nothing new for these three experienced ambassadors: Group Accounting Manager Per Mauritzson, Business Developer Hans Andersson and Executive Assistant Catharina Lachmann.

The atmosphere at Wihlborgs' AGM was once again upbeat. Thanks to all the shareholders for participating in the meeting.

Property expenses

Total property expenses amounted to SEK 266 (261) million. The increase is mainly explained by a larger property portfolio compared to the same period last year.

The historical summary at the foot of page 16 illustrates how costs vary over the different quarters of the year.

Operating surplus

The operating surplus including other income amounted to SEK 733 million (709). Excluding payments for early lease termination, the operating surplus totalled SEK 731 million (689), representing a surplus ratio of 73 percent (73).

Central administration

The costs for central administration were SEK 24 million (22).

Financial income and expense

Net interest totalled SEK -216 million (-215), of which interest income accounted for SEK 6 million (5).

The interest expense for the period was SEK 222 million (220). Accordingly, interest expenses were largely in line with last year despite higher borrowings. The average interest rate was lower

than in the first half of 2015 and also lower than at the end of 2015. At the end of the period, the average interest rate, including the cost of credit agreements, was 2.74 percent, compared with 2.76 percent at year-end.

Income from property management

Income from property management including other income amounted to SEK 493 million (472). Excluding payments for early lease termination, the income from property management amounted to SEK 491 million (452).

Pre-tax profit

The pre-tax profit, i.e. after value changes on properties and derivatives, was SEK 1,296 million (1,216). During the period value changes on properties amounted to SEK 1,330 million (491) and value changes on derivatives amounted to SEK -527 million (253).

After-tax profit

After-tax profit amounted to SEK 1,383 million (961).

During the period, deferred tax was impacted positively by property sales via companies and the full consolidation of a previously jointly owned company.

Assets Property portfolio as

of 30 June 2016

The summaries below are based on Wihlborgs' property portfolio as of 30 June 2016. Rental income relates to contracted rental income on an annual basis as of 1 July 2016.

The surplus ratio is based on the properties' earning capacity on an annual basis based on rental income for July 2016, 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 2016 consisted of 268 properties (276) with a lettable area of 1,741,000 m2 (1,746,000).

Ten of the properties (11) are leasehold rights. The properties' carrying amount was SEK 30,161 million (28,623), which corresponds to the estimated market value. The total rental value was SEK 2,255 million (2,259) and the contracted rental income on annual basis SEK 2,000 million (1,983).

The economic occupancy rate for Office/Retail properties was 91 percent (92) and for Industrial/Warehousing properties 89 percent (87). The rental value for Office/Retail properties represented 75 percent, Industrial/Warehousing properties 23 percent and the remaining 2 percent is attributable to Projects & Land of the total rental value.

The operating surplus, excluding property administration and Projects & Land, is SEK 1,567 million (1,533) which with a carrying amount of SEK 28,595 million (26,236) corresponds to a direct return of 5.5 percent (5.8). Broken down by property category, this is 5.1 percent (5.5) for Office/Retail and 7.5 percent (7.5) for Industrial/Warehousing.

New tenant Aller Media moves into 3,500 m2 at the Erik Menved 37 property in central Malmö.

Malmö The Wihlborgs Classic continues to grow and spread a sense of pride among the company's employees. Learn more about the programme in our Sustainability Report, now available online.

Changes in values of properties

According to an internal valuation, with external support from Malmöbryggan Fastighetsekonomi, of the properties on 30 June 2016, their value had risen by SEK 1,330 million (491).

Fair value is determined by a combination of a yield-based and a comparable sales 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.

As of 30 June 2016, the carrying amount for the properties was SEK 30,161 million.

KEY FIGURES & DEFINITIONS

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.

Definitions

Key financial ratios

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 16.

Return on equity

Profit for the period as a percentage of average equity, excluding non-controlling 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.

Return on total assets

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/assets ratio

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.

Interest coverage ratio

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.

Loan-to-value ratio, properties

Borrowings as a percentage of the properties' carrying amounts. The ratio shows the degree of borrowing on the property portfolio.

Debt/equity ratio

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.

Surplus ratio

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.

Investment yield

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.

Share-related key ratios

Earnings per share for the period Earnings for the period divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Definition according to IFRS.

Earnings per share before tax

Earnings per share before tax divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

Income from property management per share Income from property management divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

Cash flows from operating activities per share Cash flows from operating activities divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

Equity per share I

The relationship between the closing balances for equity and the number of shares at the end of the period.

Equity per share II

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.

Long-term net asset value (EPRA NAV) per share Equity per share following the reversal of interestrate derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet.

Dividend yield per share

Proposed dividend as a percentage of the year-end share price.

Total yield per share

Share price performance plus actual dividend relative to the share price at the start of the year.

P/E ratio I, multiple

Market price per share divided by earnings per share. The multiple is converted to its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

P/E ratio II, multiple

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.

Property-related key figures*

These key figures are based on the property table on page 11. 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 value

Rental income plus estimated market-level rents for unlet space.

Estimated investment yield

Operating surplus as a percentage of the carrying amount for the properties at the end of the period.

Rental income per m2 Rental income on an annualised basis divided by

lettable area. Operating surplus per m2

Operating surplus divided by lettable area.

Economic occupancy rate Rental income as a percentage of rental value.

Estimated surplus ratio Operating surplus as a percentage of rental income.

*These key ratios are operational and are not regarded as alternative key ratios according to ESMA´s guidelines.
