CEO's comments

2016 was another year that started strongly.

Rental income increased 6 percent to SEK 497 million in the first quarter. Acquisitions were largely responsible for the increase in this quarter, although we also achieved net lettings of SEK 13 million, which will have a gradual effect over the coming quarters. The extension of the Knutpunkten property in Helsingborg was fully let during the quarter. There is consistently positive activity in the rental market, particularly in Malmö.

The operating surplus amounted to SEK 354 million excluding payments for early lease termination, corresponding to a growth rate of 7 percent. In other words, we are continuing to increase revenue at a higher rate than costs, leading to a surplus ratio of 71.2 percent for the quarter, up from 70.6 percent in the corresponding year-earlier period.

Excluding payments for early lease termination, income from property management amounted to SEK 237 million, up 12 percent. Accordingly, this is the best first quarter we have reported to date.

Net interest expense was SEK 105 million, compared to SEK 109 million during the same period last year. We completed our first issue of green bonds via Nya Svensk FastighetsFinansiering during the quarter. The transaction amounted to SEK 420 million and we pay an interest rate of 90 basis points over 3-month STIBOR over the bond's remaining term of just less than two years. Collateral for the bond has been provided in the form of our Ideon Gateway property, which is environmentally certified in accordance with both Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) (Platinum level), Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC) (Gold level) and the EU

Green Building.

As a long-term property manager and property developer, sustainability is an important part of our daily work and is now also influencing the way we finance our operations. Our sustainability efforts have been developed and clarified, and are based on four areas: sustainable properties, attractive employer, responsible business and commitment to the region and its community. Please read our Sustainability Report for more information.

Some of our larger projects are nearing completion. In Malmö, we have the Ubåtshallen and Gängtappen properties, which will be occupied this summer by Försäkringskassan (the Swedish Social Insurance Agency) and Länsförsäkringar respectively. In Helsingborg, tenants have started to move into the extension of the Knutpunkten property. Looking ahead, we have started two new office projects during the quarter: the 11,000 m² Postterminalen 1 in Lund and the 7,000 m² Sirius 3 in Malmö. Demand is high in these locations due to their good transport links, and we are pleased to have been

able to start both of these projects.

Wihlborgs is continuing to grow with a focus on increasing income from property management, while our strong earnings are generating a solid balance sheet as a basis for future development. The value of our properties is also rising. Altogether, this means that our long-term net asset value (EPRA NAV) grew by over four percent, or around SEK 7 per share, during the quarter.

We will continue to offer our tenants the best premises in our market. In doing so, we can contribute to the development of both these tenants and the region while continuing to grow ourselves, both this year and for many years to come.

Market comments

Following the unexpected and pronounced slowdown in the global economy at the end of 2015, Swedbank expects the global economy to start recovering, according to the Swedbank Economic Outlook for April 2016. Increased growth will be supported by expansionary central banks, who will wind down intervention in pace with increasing inflationary pressure. There is no shortage of risks, however, not least political ones. China continues to pose the greatest risk, with uncertainty regarding the true state of the Chinese economy being reinforced by the devaluations against the US dollar. Once the risk of a hard landing in China has faded, global growth is expected to rise, not least in the US, but the euro area will also see stronger growth. A weak upturn is already visible in the global Purchasing Managers' Index. Global growth is expected to reach 3.2 percent for 2016 and 3.7 percent for 2017.

Sweden's economy is driven by strong domestic demand and favourable trends apply to household consumption, public consumption and investment. GDP growth was 3.8 percent in 2015, but this is expected to decline during 2016 and 2017 to 3.0 and 2.6 percent respectively. Sweden's high growth and strong labour market is leading to a gradual normalisation of inflationary pressure. The underlying inflation rate, or CPIF, had risen at the last measurement and was 1.5 percent at an annual rate. Accordingly, Swedbank's assessment is that Sweden's central

bank, the Riksbank, will cease stimulating growth via a low interest rate. However, the assessment is that the interest rate will not begin to be raised before the beginning of 2017, reaching zero for the first time at the end of 2017 or beginning of 2018. The focus is being redirected from monetary policy to fiscal policy which, as a result of the influx of refugees that has led to higher costs for immigration and integration, will boost growth to a certain extent in 2016-2017.

Growth also slowed in Denmark during the second half of 2015 due to a sharp decline in exports. As a result, Nordea has lowered its forecasts for economic growth to 1.3 percent for 2016, 1.7 percent for 2017 and 1.8 percent for 2018. Private consumption is increasing by approximately 2 percent per year. Since mid 2013, almost 90,000 new jobs have been created in Denmark and employment levels are continuing to climb.

According to CBRE's Sweden Property Market View for Q1 2016, activity was high in the Swedish property transaction market during the first quarter. Substantial capital is waiting for investment in the market and interest rates remain low. There is a high level of interest from both domestic and international investors. Transaction volume increased 27 percent compared with the same period in 2015. The volume in the first quarter of 2016 was the second-highest for the last 10 years, with only the first quarter of 2014 noting a higher transaction volume.

Income, expenses and profits, Jan–Mar 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 497 million (470). Other revenues from property management was SEK 1 million (13) 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 6 percent compared with the corresponding period 2015.

The occupancy rate for managed properties, remains unchanged compared with previous year-end, 91 percent (91).

During the period new leases were signed to a value of SEK 37 million (65) on an annualized basis. Lease terminations totalled SEK 24 million (86). This represents a net letting income of SEK 13 million (-21).

Terms of Wihlborgs' rental contracts per 31 March 2016

*No. of contracts

Our new extension to Knutpunkten is rising in Helsingborg's harbour area. The redevelopment and extension of the property is fully let and our Helsingborg office will move in during the summer.

Net letting

In March, Wihlborgs took part in a student recruitment fair at Malmö University, at which we advertised our trainee position starting in the autumn.

Property costs

Total property costs amounted to SEK 143 (138) million. The year's first quarter is the most expensive. This is because the cost of snow clearance, electricity and heating is at its highest during the winter.

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

The operating surplus including other income amounted to SEK 355 million (345). Excluding payments for early lease termination, the operating surplus totalled SEK 354 million (332), representing a surplus ratio of 71 percent (71).

Central administration

The costs for central administration were SEK 12 million (11).

Financial income and expense

Net interest totalled SEK -105 million (-109), of which interest income accounted for SEK 4 million (3).

The interest expense for the period was SEK 109 million (112).

Accordingly, interest expenses were lower year-on-year despite higher borrowings. At the end of the period, the average interest rate, including the cost of credit agreements, was 2.79 percent, compared with 2.76 percent at year-end.

Income from property management

Income from property management including other income amounted to SEK 238 million (225). Excluding payments for early lease termination, the income from property management amounted to SEK 237 million (212).

Pre-tax profit

The pre-tax profit, i.e. after value changes on properties and derivatives, was SEK 241 million (407). During the period value changes on properties amounted to SEK 303 million (378) and value changes on derivatives amounted to SEK -300 million (-196).

The profit after taxes was SEK 202 million (315).

Assets

Property portfolio as of 31 March 2016

The summaries below are based on Wihlborgs' property portfolio as of 31 March 2016. Rental income relates to contracted rental income on an annual basis as of 1 April 2016.

The surplus ratio is based on the properties' earning capacity on an annual basis based on rental income for April 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 31 March 2016 consisted of 272 properties (276) with a lettable area of 1,753,000 m2 (1,746,000). Ten of the properties (11) are leasehold rights. The properties' carrying amount was SEK 29,196 million (28,623), which corresponds to the estimated market value. The total rental value was SEK 2,263 million (2,259) and the contracted rental income on annual basis SEK 1,991 million (1,983). The economic occupancy rate for Office/ Retail properties was 91 percent (93) and for Industrial/Warehousing properties 88 percent (87). The rental value for Office/Retail properties represented 73 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 1,545 million (1,533) which with a carrying amount of SEK 26,850 million (26,236) corresponds to a direct return of 5.8 percent (5.8). Broken down by property category, this is 5.4 percent (5.5) for Office/Retail and 7.5 percent (7.5) for Industrial/Warehousing.

We are building a new 7,000 m2 city block, Sirius 3, in the top location on Carlsgatan, which is adjacent to Malmö central station.

Changes in values of properties

According to an internal valuation, with external support from Malmöbryggan Fastighetsekonomi, of the properties on 31 March 2016, their value had risen by SEK 303 million (378).

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 31 March 2016, the carrying amount for the properties was SEK 29,196 million.
