Comments by the CEO

Q2, 2015

Profit from property management for the second quarter and the first half of 2015 improved by 54 and 51 per cent, respectively, per ordinary share compared to the same periods last year. Increasing our profit from property management over time has been the most important financial key ratio for us on a day-day basis ever since Balder was established in its present form 10 years ago.

During the second quarter, we also completed and agreed on a number of transactions. The single most important was the acquisition of almost 30 per cent of the shares in Sato Oyj, which is one of Finland's largest property companies with residential properties in focus. In Sweden, we sold some commercial properties and invested in residential through continued work with many of our own future projects in the existing portfolio, acquisition of the remaining shares in Bovieran and acquisition of 31 per cent of the shares in Tornet Bostadsproduktion. Tornet concentrates on construction of rights of tenancy for the company's own long-term ownership. At present, the property portfolio includes approximately 700 apartments and ongoing projects/constructions of a further approximately 700 apartments. Our partners in Tornet are Peab, Folksam and Riksbyggen.

In early July, we also obtained the go-ahead for additional construction projects in Copenhagen for SEK 1.9 billion in total with completion expected by 2018. These projects and other construction work in progress mean that we now have an operation in Denmark that is satisfactory in terms of size (however, we would like to invest more).

Turning to our associated companies, it was an intensive second quarter to say the least for Collector; the company obtained a banking licence and is now called Collector Bank and on 10 June Collector was also listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Mid Cap segment.

Collector reported a very good result for the first half of 2015 and I am just as optimistic now regarding Collector's potential going forward as when we acquired our stake just over 4 years ago. A new issue was also carried out in connection with the listing, which diluted Balder's participating interest from 48 to 44 per cent.

Now as Collector is listed, I think that the most true and fair view in the accounts, in addition to our share of the profit, which is recognised as profit from associated companies, would have been to recognise the share at its market price. However, this is not allowed under current rules – although this sounds crazy – unless we reclassify the shares as a "treasury management ", which would not accord at all with how we view our ownership in Collector and it would also have other strange effects. Therefore we have chosen to continue reporting Collector according to the same principle as before but we will also present how our balance sheet looks when we recognise Collector at market value. We will also calculate our key ratios, net asset value, equity per ordinary share and equity/assets ratio etc. based on Collector's share price. In the accounts, our interim report for the second quarter includes a non-recurring item of SEK 126m (in profit from associated companies) which comes from the dilution of our ownership through the new issue from 48 per cent to 44 per cent at a price which exceeded our book value. Call Magnus Björndahl or Marcus Hansson if you have questions.

Balder 10 years

This interim report means that we now finally have a 10 year history! As an investor, I naturally think that the value today is entirely dependent on the assessment of the future. (The value today is the present value of future cash flows). However, a small piece of the jigsaw when thinking about the future can also be found by looking at history – personally I like to do this if possible. "History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes" is a good quote to have in the back of one's head.

Aside from profit from property management, Balder's comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation, relatively small amounts to date, changes in value of properties as well as changes in value of derivatives and taxes.

Net asset per ordinary share

The change in net asset value per ordinary share reflects comprehensive income and this has developed as follows:

30 June 2005: 6.59 (Balder established)
30 June 2006: 11.08 30 June 2011: 36.04
30 June 2007: 16.46 30 June 2012: 44.85
30 June 2008: 23.44 30 June 2013: 54.41
30 June 2009: 22.39 30 June 2014: 70.82
30 June 2010: 26.57 30 June 2015: 106.16

New issues, repurchases and dividends also affect the net asset value per share. Changes in value of properties and profit from property management had the most positive impact.

Derivatives had a negative impact. I have taken many poor decisions regarding derivatives over the years; we have to hope for a better result during the next 10 years. Another negative item, without doubt on a par with derivatives, which thank God do not have to be recognised, are deals that I could have done with all the requirements in place and that I considered to be good but nevertheless did not carry out for one reason or another. I have been able to follow many of these transactions and can state that a lot passed me by unnecessarily. There is also potential here going forward.

We have made the assessmentto date that the best total yield for Balder's shareholders has been to reinvest profits and not to pay a dividend (with the exception of one year when we paid a dividend equivalent to 17 öre per ordinary share, don't ask me what I was thinking). Looking ahead, the goal remains the same. Despite the strong property market, I am optimistic about the potential over time of finding investments with a reasonably good yield.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who is or has been involved with us in one way or another. I am very fortunate to be able to do what I really enjoy doing together with people I am very fond of.

Sharam Rahi, Vice CEO of Balder, said to me one wet autumn evening when he called from his car on the way home from Helsingborg: "Erik, we have such fun at work, I really should have to pay a fee to do this". I can agree with this, I really should pay to have my job.

Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer

Current earning capacity

Balder presents it´s 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 42 per cent during the period and amounted to SEK 763m (537), which corresponds to an increase per ordinary share with 51 per cent to SEK 4.08 (2.71). Profit from property management includes SEK 181m (86) in respect of associated companies.

Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,595m (1,370), corresponding to SEK 9.21 per ordinary share (7.88). Profit before tax was affected by changes in value of properties of SEK 793m (1,301), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK 142m (–303) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 326m (190).

Rental income

Rental income increased by 15 per cent to SEK 1,370m (1,193). The increase was primarily due to a larger real estate portfolio. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 30 June of SEK 2,804m (2,738) on an annual basis. The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,329/sq.m. (1,289).

Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate amounted to 95 per cent (95) on 30 June. The total rental value of unlet areas at the end of the period amounted to SEK 137m (138) on an annual basis.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK 438m (408) during the period. The increase in property costs was mainly due to the change in the property portfolio.

Net operating income increased by 19 per cent to SEK 932m (785), which implies a surplus ratio of 68 per cent (66). 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 30 June, based on a ten-year cash flow model, of the entire real estate portfolio. Unrealised changes in value during the period amounted to SEK 723m (1,189). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 70m (112).

The average yield requirement as of 30 June amounted to 5.3 per cent (5.8), which is a decrease compared to the first quarter with 0.2 percentage points. The change in value during the period is attributable to improved operating surplus and a reduced yield requirement.

Management and administrative costs

Management and administrative costs amounted to SEK 91m (78) during the period. The increase is due to the change of the property portfolio.

Participations in the profit of associated companies

Balder owns property managing and project developing associated companies and 44.1 per cent of Collector Bank AB that was listed in June. In connection with the listing a new issue was carried out that has affected Balder's profit from participations in associated companies with SEK 126m. From the second quarter 2015 Balder also reports a consolidated statement of financial position including Collector Bank AB at market value. During the second quarter Balder has acquired 29.9 per cent of the shares in Sato Oyj, Finland's second largest housing company. From the second quarter Sato is included in the profit from associated companies. During the quarter the minority in Bovieran Holding AB has been acquired, which means that the company is now a wholly owned subsidiary. On 30 June, 31 per cent of the shares were acquired in Tornet Bostadsproduktion AB.

Profit from participations in associated companies amounted to SEK 326m (190) during the period and Balder's participation in the associated companies profit from property management amounted to SEK 181m (86).

Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 69m (122).

Net financial items and changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –259m (–257) and unrealised changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 142m (–303). The positive change in value during the period was due to an increase in the level of interest rates since year-end. Unrealised changes in value do not affect the cash flow.

Net financial items are equivalent to borrowing at an average interest rate of 2.2 per cent (2.8) during the period, including the effect of accrued interest from interest rate derivatives.

Taxes

Balder reported a current tax expense of SEK 4m (2) for the period and a deferred tax expense of SEK 244m (266).

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 1,789m (1,127). At year-end, the group's overall tax deficit amounted to about SEK 1,700m (2,000).

Second quarter, 2015

Profit from property management for the second quarter of 2015 increased by 45 per cent and amounted to SEK 439m (303), which corresponds to an increase per ordinary share of 54 per cent to SEK 2.40 (1.56). Profit from property management included SEK 126m (47) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 685m (627) and property costs amounted to SEK 204m (191), which meant that net operating income increased by 10 per cent to SEK 481m (436). The surplus ratio amounted to 70 per cent (70).

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,160m (1,087), corresponding to SEK 6.84 per ordinary share (6.39). The result was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 391m (1,053), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK 321m (–179) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 275m (157).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 503m (429). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 2,583m (4,470). During the period, acquisition of properties of SEK 944m (5,128), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK 386m (403) and investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments and associated companies etc. of SEK 2,870m (137) and dividends paid of SEK 100m (100) add up to SEK 4,300m (5,768). These have been financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 313m (437) by property divestments of SEK 1,425m (922), financial investments of SEK 192m (212) and a net borrowing and disposal of own shares of SEK 2,937m (4,497), add up to 4 867 Mkr (6 068).

Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 567m (300). The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,509m (1,455) on 30 June.

Employees and organisation

The number of employees on 30 June amounted to 444 persons (297), of which 191 were women (102). Balder is organised into five regions with 16 areas in total. The head office with group-wide functions is located in Gothenburg.

Parent Company

The parent company's operations mainly consist of performing group-wide services but an important part also relates to sales of services, principally to associated companies. Sales in the parent company amounted to SEK 69m (52).

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 1,057m (603). Dividend of SEK 800m (700) from subsidiaries was included and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 130m (–276).

Real estate holdings

On 30 June, Balder owned 479 properties (490) with a lettable area of approximately 2,110,000 sq.m. (2,125,000) and a value of SEK 38,071m (33,717). Balder's total rental value amounted to SEK 2,804m (2,738).

Balder's commercial properties are located in the centre and immediate suburbs of big cities and surrounding municipal areas. Balder's residential properties are located in places that are growing and developing positively. Balder's ambition is to continue growing in selected markets.

Change in real estate portfolio

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 30 June, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.3 per cent (5.8) 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. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant.

Project real estate

Balder had five projects under construction as of 30 June. The overall investment will amount to SEK 1,475m, of which SEK 540m remains to be invested up to and including the first half of 2016, when the projects should be completed. The projects consist of the construction of approximately 385 apartments in Copenhagen as well as

the construction of 144 tenant-owner's rights under the Bovieran brand.

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's 479 properties (490) amounted to SEK 38,071m (33,717) on 30 June. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 723m (1,189) and was attributable to improved net operating income and a lower yield requirement.

Investments, acquisitions and divestments

During the year, a total of SEK 1,415m (5,755) was invested, of which SEK 1,029m (5,352) related to acquisitions and SEK 386m (403) related to investments in existing properties and projects. Properties with a sales value of SEK 1,425m (922) were divested during the period. One of the sold properties, Murmästaren 3, has via a company transaction, been sold to 50 per cent. The property will be a project property and is now included as an associated company. Profit from property sales amounted to SEK 70m (112). 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 6.4 years (5.6). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 10.4 per cent (8.6) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 13.2 years (9.7).

No individual lease accounts for more than 1.6 per cent (1.5) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 4.9 per cent (5.6) of total rental income.

Financing

Shareholders' equity

Consolidated equity, including Collector Bank AB at market value, amounted to SEK 17,384m (12,486) on June 30 and the equity/assets ratio amounted to 37.4 per cent (34.2). During the period, shareholders equity increased by comprehensive income for the period of SEK 1,564m (1,370) and the market valuation of the holding in Collector Bank AB SEK 1,776m (–), decreased by SEK 200m (200) regarding dividends approved and entered as a liability but still unpaid to the preference shareholders and SEK 17m (–) regarding the aquisition of the minority in Bovieran.

Interest-bearing liabilities

The group's interest-bearing liabilities in respect of properties amounted to SEK 19,595m (19,227) on 30 June, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 51.5 per cent (57.0). The interest-bearing liabilities consist of bonds of SEK 2,650m (1,800), a certificate programme with a framework amount of SEK 2,000m (1,500) and bilateral bank loans with Nordic banks. Balder's certificate programme had an outstanding volume of SEK 1,996m (750) on 30 June. On 30 June, Balder's average interest rate refixing period amounted to 2.7 years (2.5).

The fixed credit term amounted to 3.5 years (4.6) and the average interest rate amounted to 2.3 per cent (2.8), including the effect of accrued interest from the interest rate derivative instruments, which are recognised as fixed interest borrowing in the table.

Interest rate derivative instruments are deployed in order to obtain preferred interest rate refixing targets. Derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet with changes in value recognised in the income statement without using hedge accounting. Changes in value amounted to SEK 142m (–292) during the period. The remaining deficit on derivatives, SEK 944m (765), will be released during the remainder of the term and recognised as income. This means that Balder has a reserve of SEK 944m which will be reversed in its entirety to equity, adjusted by deferred tax, concurrently with the expiry of interest rate derivatives. All derivatives are classified as Level 2 according to IFRS 13. Q3 Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q2Q3 Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3

Liquidity

The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial Investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,509m (1,455) at the end of the accounting period.

Financial targets

The proportion of equity is impacted by the chosen level of financial risk which in turn is impacted by lenders' equity requirements for offering market-based financing. Balder's financial goals are that the equity/assets ratio shall not be less than 35 per cent over time and that the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 1.5 times. As of 30 June, the equity/assets ratio was 37.4 per cent (34.2) and the interest coverage ratio was 3.9 times (3.1).
