2 FASTIGHETS AB BALDER · YEAR-END REPORT 2015

Comments by the CEO

Dear shareholder,

Property markets and investments

For Balder, 2015 was a very interesting and positive year! The property market continued to perform well due to strong interest from investors driven by record low interest rates, a favourable rental market and also in some cases due to a lack of alternative investment opportunities.

Our largest investment by far during the year, was our gradual acquisition of just over 50 percent of the shares of the Finnish residential property company Sato. Although Finland has shown a weaker performance than the other Nordic countries in recent years, I am convinced that the long-term development in Finland will be positive again. Through Sato, we gain an excellent organisation and a fantastic network, which will give us the basis to find good investment opportunities over time. Our Finnish investment is in safe hands.

In Sweden, we were a net seller of investment properties, although on a small scale, and a net investor in residential projects instead, where we are now gradually obtaining a better and better project portfolio. In the short term, this will have a slightly negative impact on earnings but looking ahead, these investments will be important for our future results.

The property market in Copenhagen was also strong during the year and our operations there are gradually improving and expanding through the construction projects, which are being completed now and in the coming years. We have also initiated our first hotel investment in Copenhagen, which feels great. As you probably know, we are really delighted about our hotels and this division at Balder also advanced its position during 2015.

Associated companies

On the associated company side, we gained some fine new additions in the form of Tornet and Brinova. Even though their impact on our comprehensive income in the balance sheet is not particularly great at present, it gives us additional investment opportunities and options over time and,

not least, it gives us new relationships. Creating new relationships and maintaining existing ones is something that I consider to be invaluable and it is also fun and stimulating for me and for the rest of Balder's employees.

In June, Collector was listed on the stock market, which has meant that the company's value has become more clearly visible. We regard Collector as an associated company and we expect that Balder will remain as an owner for the foreseeable future. In accounting terms, this means that we should not recognise Collector's shares at market value but at the cost value (our share of the profit is added to this). To provide as true and fair view as possible, we are also presenting our balance sheet and key ratios including Collector at market value.

Financial goals and key ratios

To maintain a strong balance sheet, we used part of the authorisation to issue shares that we received at the Annual General Meeting 2015. We carried out a directed issue of 10 million shares to Swedish and international institutions and it received a very good response. The offer was strongly oversubscribed.

Balder's Board of Directors has decided to adjust the company's goal for the interest coverage ratio from 1.5 to 2 times. When the interest rate is at prevailing levels, the interest coverage ratio key ratio is not so interesting but who knows what will happen with interest rates over time? (I don't know).

2016 and subsequently

In the short term, the property market feels strong based on the same factors that have prevailed in recent years. However, our focus is completely on the long-term performance, for Balder and for its shareholders. Looking ahead, I am very positive about Balder's opportunities due to the fact that our organisation is continually improving, we are investing in different market segments and because we have so many partners that help us with everything possible.

Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer

Current earning capacity

Balder presents its earning capacity on a twelve-month basis in the table below. It is important to note that the current earning capacity should not be placed on a par with a forecast for the coming 12 months. For instance, the earning capacity contains no estimate of rental, vacancy, currency or interest rate changes.

Balder's income statement is also impacted by the development in the value of the real estate portfolio as well as future property acquisitions and/or property divestments. Additional items affecting the operating result are changes in value of derivatives. None of the above has been considered in the current earning capacity.

The earning capacity is based on the real estate portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative costs.

The costs of the interest-bearing liabilities are based on the group's average interest rate level including the effect of derivative instruments. The tax is calculated using the effective tax rate during each period and is estimated to largely consist of deferred tax, which does not affect the cash flow.

Results, income and costs

Results

Profit from property management increased by 40 per cent during the year and amounted to SEK 1,780m (1,275), which corresponds to an increase per ordinary share by 46 per cent to SEK 9.71 (6.64). Profit from property management includes SEK 457m (195) in respect of associated companies.

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 4,916m (3,128), corresponding to SEK 28.98 per ordinary share (18.10). Profit before tax was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 3,388m (3,050), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK 227m (–624) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 831m (317).

Rental income

Rental income increased by 7 per cent to SEK 2,711m (2,525). The increase was primarily due to the change in the real estate portfolio. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 31 December of SEK 5,257m (2,885). The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,508/sq.m. (1,325) excl. project properties.

Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate amounted to 96 per cent (95) on 31 December. The total rental value of unlet areas at the end of the period amounted to SEK 182m (155) on an annual basis.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK 767m (760) during the year. The increase in property costs was mainly due to the change in the property portfolio and a mild winter with little snow.

Net operating income increased by 10 per cent to SEK 1,944m (1,766), which implies a surplus ratio of 72 per cent (70).

Operating costs normally vary with the seasons. The first and fourth quarters have higher costs than the other quarters, while the third quarter usually has the lowest cost level.

Changes in value of investment properties

Balder carried out an individual internal valuation on 31 December, based on a ten-year cash flow model, of the entire real estate portfolio. Unrealised changes in value during the year amounted to SEK 3,323m (2,906). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 65m (144).

The average yield requirement as of 31 December amounted to 5.4 per cent (5.5), which is an increase of 0.1 percentage points compared with the third quarter and a reduction of 0.1 percentage points since year-end. The

increase of the yield requirement during the fourth quarter is due to the consolidation of Sato Oyj, whose properties have a higher average yield requirement. The change in value during the year was attributable to improved net operating income and a reduced yield requirement.

Management and administrative costs

Management and administrative costs amounted to SEK 185m (154) during the period. The increase was mainly due to the change in the property portfolio.

Participations in the profit of associated companies

Balder owns property-managing and project developing associated companies and 44.1 percent in Collector AB (publ) which was listed in June. From the second quarter 2015 Balder also reports a consolidated statement of financial position including Collector AB (publ) at market value to clarify Collectors value in Balder. During the year Balder has gradually acquired a total of 53.3 per cent of the outstanding shares in Sato Oyj, Finland's second largest housing company. Sato is from 31 December 2015 included in the Group's consolidated balance sheet. During the year also 31 and 35 per cent of the shares in Tornet Bostadsproduktion AB and Brinova AB were acquired.

Profit from participations in associated companies amounted to SEK 831m (317) and Balder's participation in the associated companies profit from property management amounted to SEK 457m (195).

Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 410m (178).

Net financial items and changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –437m (–531) and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 227m (–624). The positive change in value of derivatives during the year is due to the fact that the interest rates have risen during the year. Unrealised changes in value do not affect the cash flow.

Net financial items are equivalent to borrowing at an average interest rate of 1.8 per cent (2.7) during the period, including the effect of accrued interest from interest rate derivatives.

Taxes

Balder reported current tax income for the period of SEK 4m (–11) and a deferred tax expense of SEK –866m (682).

Current tax only arises in exceptional cases due to the possibilities of making tax write-offs, tax deductions for certain investments in properties and use of existing loss carry-forwards. Current tax arises for subsidiaries where no group contributions for tax purposes exist — mainly companies acquired and divested during the period.

The group's deferred tax liability has been calculated as the value of the net of fiscal deficits and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and values for tax purposes of properties and interest rate derivatives. Deferred tax liabilities amounted to SEK 4,071m (1,549).

The fourth quarter 2015

Profit from property management for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by 28 per cent and amounted to SEK 482m (378), which corresponds to an increase per ordinary share of 31 per cent to SEK 2.64 (2.02). Profit from property management included SEK 128m (58) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 680m (677) and property costs amounted to SEK 172m (191), which meant that net operating income increased by 5 per cent to SEK 508m (486). The surplus ratio amounted to 75 per cent (72).

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 2,506m (1,470), corresponding to SEK 14.99 per ordinary share (8.74). Profit before tax has been impacted by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 2,017m (1,621), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK 197m (–202) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 359m (92).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,193m (1,038). ). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 5,635m (6,708).

During the year, acquisition of properties of SEK 2,097m (6,835), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK 791m (700), investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments and associated companies and subsidiaries of SEK 4,857m (570) and dividends paid of SEK 200m (200) adds up to SEK 7,945m (8,305).

These have been financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 762m (1,340) by property divestments of SEK 1,606m (1,114), financial investments of SEK 504m (219), share issue SEK 1,705m (–)and net borrowings of SEK 3,788m (5,338), adds up to SEK 8,365m (8,011).

Total cash flow for the year amounted to SEK 421m (–8). The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial Investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,339m (806) on 31 December.

Parent Company

The parent company's operations mainly consist of performing group-wide services but an important part relates to sales of services, principally to associated companies. Sales in the parent company amounted to SEK 147m (124).

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 1,061m (302). Dividend of SEK 800m (700) from subsidiaries was included and unrealised changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 199m (–585) and paid group contributions amounted to SEK –340m (–250).

Proposed dividend

The board intends propose to the annual general meeting that no dividend shall be declared for ordinary shares (–) and that a dividend of SEK 20 per share (20) shall be paid for preference shares.

The value of Balder's real estate portfolio is based on internal valuations. All properties have been valued using the cash flow based method, which means that each property is valued by discounting the estimated future cash flows. An estimate is also made of the future development of the immediate surroundings and the position of the property within its market segment. On 31 December, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.4 per cent (5.5) excluding project and development properties.

In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder regularly allows parts of its portfolio to be externally valued during the period or at each year-end. During the fourth quarter, Balder has externally valued approximately one-third of the properties, including Sato's property portfolio. The external valuation was less than 1 per cent lower than Balder's internal valuation at year-end. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant.

Project real estate

On 31 December, Balder had ongoing residential projects with an expected total investment of SEK 8,000m, of which about SEK 4,400m was already invested. The most largescale investments are in Copenhagen and Helsinki and mainly relate to condominiums that are let. In Copenhagen,

there are currently about 1,000 apartments under construction as well as about 1,100 apartments in Finland and about 350 tenant-owner's rights in Sweden. We expect to complete about 500 apartments during the first half of 2016.

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's properties amounted to SEK 68,456m (37,382) on 31 December. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 3,323m (2,906) and was attributable to improved net operating income and a lower yield requirement.

Investments, acquisitions and divestments

During the year, a total of SEK 2,974m (7,759) was invested, of which SEK 2,183m (7,059) related to acquisitions and SEK 791m (700) related to investments in existing properties and projects. In addition, the acquisition of Sato Oyj contributed to an increase of the property portfolio of SEK 26,477m. Properties with a sales value of SEK 1,613m (1,114) were divested during the year. Profit from property sales amounted to SEK 65m (144). The change in the real estate portfolio during the year may be seen in the table below.

Customers

In order to limit the risk of lower rental income and consequently a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships with the company's existing customers. Balder has a good diversification as regards the distribution between commercial properties and residential properties as well as the geographical distribution. The diversification strengthens the possibilities of maintaining a steady and satisfactory occupancy rate. Balder's commercial leases have an average lease term of 6.3 years (5.9). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 6.1 per cent (9.4) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 11.1 years (11.1).

No individual lease accounts for more than 0.9 per cent (1.5) Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 2.7 per cent (4.8) of total rental income.

Choice of accounting policy for non-controlling interests

The Group recognises non-controlling interests in an acquired entity, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. This choice of policy is made for every individual business combination. For non-controlling interests in Sato, the Group has chosen to recognise non-controlling interests at the fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets.

Revenue and profit in acquired operations

If the acquisition had been carried out on 1 January 2015, the consolidated pro-forma financial statements as of 31 December 2015 would show rental income of SEK 5,044m and net profit for the year of SEK 5,873m.
