The profit trend in Platzer's business continues to be very satisfactory with a 7% increase in the operating surplus and a 20% increase in the profit from management operations for the first quarter of the year compared with the same quarter last year. The large development projects we have underway mean, for the quarter, a comparatively negative effect on the profit since premises, in some cases, have been emptied to enable conversion. On the other hand, the development projects are one part in our value changes. We have increased the pace of the property and project development, which means that some key performance indicators are temporarily impaired; however, at the same time, we have signed leasing contracts worth more than SEK 50 million in rental value that, during autumn 2015 and spring 2016, will gradually have a positive result on the earnings.
An important part of our strategy and success is to be the leading player in our subareas. We will then have greater possibilities to affect the area's development, which is positive for the tenants in our properties, for the area as such and thereby, good business for us. During the quarter, we have concluded agreements to sell four properties
for SEK 162 million in the southern areas of Högsbo, to enable us to focus on our holdings in northern Högsbo. In addition, we have added to our holdings in Gamlestaden by acquiring Gamlestadens Fabriker for SEK 750 million and thereby obtaining a continuous area around the new central point, Gamlestads torg, of approx. 100,000 sq m leasable area with the potential to obtain just as many additional development rights for future new production. The property deals do not affect the profit in quarter 1, but will instead be recognised in the income statement and balance sheet in quarter 2.
There is a lot happening in urban development in Gothenburg. During the quarter, our work at Backaplan has come one step closer to a startup, with the development of a zoning plan for the area. We have submitted an application for land allocation on the decking over the E45 at Gullbergsvass and have also had further discussions with Gothenburg City regarding the development of northern Högsbo around Dag Hammarskjölds Boulevard as well as the development of Gårda. In Gamlestaden, dialogue is underway regarding the development of the area. In parallel, we are in dialogue with the Swedish Transport Administration, now the planning for the major infrastructure projects, which affect a number of our subareas, is entering a more intensive phase. The Gothenburg area is facing an incredibly exciting time in the coming years, which is also witnessed by the increased interest in property investments shown by various property players.
At Platzer, we know our local market and we will be an active player in the development of Gothenburg. Where the city grows and develops, we can take part and expand Platzer's property portfolio. In this way, we will continue to grow profitably and create value in the company in the future.

PLATZER INTERIM REPORT JAN—MARCH 2015 5
The comparative values for income statement items refer to the corresponding period in the previous year and for balance sheet items 31/12/2014.
The period's profit from management operations amounted to SEK 59 million (49), an improvement by 20%. The improvement in earnings is mainly due to the growth strategy that Platzer follows, which resulted in a larger property portfolio in 2015 compared to 2014. The value changes on properties for the period amounted to SEK 60 million (17), value changes on financial instruments amounted to SEK -69 million (-48) and the period's profit after tax was SEK 39 million (14).
The rental income for the first three months amounted to SEK 139 million (130), an increase of 7%. The increase in income is mainly attributable to a larger property portfolio as well as to new rentals and completed conversions. The rental income from existing leasing contracts is assessed as SEK 547 million (532) on an annual basis on the balance date. The economic occupancy rate for the period amounted to 92% (93).
During the period, the property costs were SEK 39 million (36), an increase that is mainly due to the large property portfolio that was taken into possession in December 2014. The greater part of the utility costs, such as heating, electricity, cooling and sanitation services as well as property tax is passed on to the tenants.
The operating surplus amounted to SEK 100 million (94), an increase of 7%. The surplus ratio amounted to 72% (72). The first quarter is usually the most expensive period of the year. During the last twelve months the surplus ratio remains unchanged at 75%.
The net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -33 million (-38), a reduction of SEK 5 million, despite a larger volume of borrowings. The lower cost is due in the main to renegotiated interest rate margins and lower market rates. At the end of the period, the average interest rate, including the effects of signed derivative instruments, amounted to 2.70% (3.45).
Income tax on the profit for the period amounted to SEK -11 million (-4) and consisted mostly of deferred tax; tax payable amounted to SEK -4 million (-4). Sales of properties, which give rise to realised capital gains/ losses, normally occur through company divestments, which means these earnings are tax free. In addition to this, with the current tax system there are possibilities for tax write-offs and, under some conditions, even direct deduction for repairs, which lowers the tax payable.
The net investments in properties during the first quarter amounted to SEK 88 million (28) and is attributable to investments in existing properties. The properties have been mainly financed using the company's cash reserves. Cash flow for the period was SEK 36 million (4). On the balance date, the cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 132 million (96). Apart from cash and cash equivalents, there was an unused loan commitment on the balance date of SEK 365 million, of which SEK 240 million consists of unused construction loan agreements.
The properties are recognised at an estimated fair value of SEK 8,491 million (8,343), which is based on in internal valuation as at the balance date. The properties are valued internally in connection with the annual accounts using a ten-year cash flow model for all properties. For the quarterly financial statement, these valuations are reviewed and updated, taking into consideration whether there have been any changes in factors such as the market's rate of return, rent level and utilisation grade in the properties, any realised capital gains/losses as well as investments in properties. Once a year, Platzer commissions an external valuation of a selected number of properties that constitute a cross-section of the property portfolio, with the aim of quality assuring the internal valuation. The internal property valuation for the period has meant a change in the value of the investment properties of SEK 60 million (17).
There has been no acquisition or sale of properties during the first quarter. Investments in existing properties during the period amounted to SEK 88 million (28), where the largest single investment is the new construction project Gårda 3:14 as well as the start of two conversion projects for the Swedish Migration Board in Gårda 1:15 and Livered 1:329. Gårda 3:14 is estimated to be ready for occupation during the third quarter of 2015. The Swedish Migration Board will take possession of the areas gradually during 2015 and complete occupancy is estimated to take place during the first half of 2016.
The shareholders' equity for the Group amounted to SEK 3,005 million (2,966) at 31 March. Equity per share on the balance date amounted to SEK 31.39 (30.98) The long-term net asset value, EPRA NAV, on the same date amounted to SEK 37.40 (36.20). The equity/assets ratio amounted to 34% (35).
The Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of SEK 0.75 (0.60) per share to the 2015 Annual General meeting, which is equivalent to SEK 72 million (58).
At the end of the quarter, the long-term interest bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 4,900 million (4,855), which corresponded to a loan to value ratio of 58% (58). The
debt financing is primarily through bank loans that are secured by mortgages on the property. At the same time, the average fixed interest period, including the effects of derivative contracts concluded, amounted to 4.5 years (4.7). The average maturity period amounted to 1.6 years (1.8).
To achieve the desired interest rate structure, interest rate derivatives are used, primarily interest rate swaps, which are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet and with gains/losses recognised in the income statement without applying hedge accounting. Due to falling market rates during the period, the undervalue in Platzer's interest rate derivatives increased to SEK -325 million, which, for the period, means a negative change in value of SEK -69 million. The changes in value do not affect the cash flow. During the remaining term, the undervalue will be resolved and reduce the financial costs in the income statement by an equivalent amount.
The financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in the Group comprise the derivative instruments and capital redemption policies described above. Both the derivative instruments and the capital redemption policies are included in Level 2, in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value of non-current interest bearing liabilities is equivalent to their carrying value because the discounting effect is not significant when the interest rate on the loans is variable and in line with the market's.
There were 47 employees as at 31 March. Platzer's property portfolio is organised into three market areas. The market areas are Platzer's units with responsibility for the daily operations and management as well as the development of the properties. To support the market areas, there are two specialist units: Project, which is responsible for project development and project management, and Leasing, which supports the leasing business. Platzer's Group and staff functions comprise the CEO, business development, finance, accounts, communication and sustainability.
At the end of March, Platzer signed a contract for the acquisition of the property 18:7, better known as Gamlestadens Fabriker, with completion on 30 April. The acquisition is being conducted as a corporate acquisition with an underlying property value of SEK 750 million. At the start of January, Platzer signed a contract for the sale of Gullbergsvass 703:53 to Gothenburg City, with vacation when the zoning scheme for the new Hisingsbro Bridge gains legal force. At the same time, Platzer obtained an option for future development rights on approximately 40,000 sq m, when the new bridge is erected. Platzer also signed a contract in March for the sale of four properties in southern Högsbo at an agreed property value of SEK 162 million. Together with previously signed sales contracts,
this means that Platzer will vacate all five built-up properties in southern Högsbo during April. Högsbo 27:8, Högsbo 11:5, Högsbo 14:3, Högsbo 13:6 will be vacated on 28 April, and Högsbo 11:3 was vacated on 1 April. All acquisitions and sales are recognised in the accounts on the completion date or the vacation date respectively.
The parent company does not own any properties of its own, instead is manages certain Group-wide functions regarding management and financing. The income in the parent company is solely derived from invoicing services to the Group companies.
The property business, as in all businesses, is always exposed to risks. The methods used by Platzer to manage and reduce the risks include good internal controls and external audits, well-working administrative systems and policies as well as proven procedures for property valuations. The risks and uncertainty factors that affect Platzer in the first instance are described in the 2014 Annual Report on pages 43-45 and 62-63.
The transactions with related parties in the company are described in the 2014 Annual Report on page 75. Apart from these running agreements, there are no significant transactions with related parties.
Platzer prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the EU. The same accounting and valuation principles have been applied as in the most recent annual report. New or revised IFRS standards that came into force in 2015 have not had any material effect on the Group's financial statements with the exception of IFRIC 21 "Levies", which clarifies the recognition of an obligation to pay a tax or charge that is not income tax. For Platzer, this means that the property tax should be entered as a liability when the obligation arises, on 1 January every year. The new standard has an effect on the balance sheet throughout the year but no effect on the income statement. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The parent company applies the Annual Accounts Act and RFR2.
This interim report has not been reviewed by the company's auditors.

1) Excluding leasing contracts for projects with future occupancy.
During March, an agreement was concluded for the acquisition of the property Olskroken 18:7, better known as Gamlestadens Fabriker, from Aberdeen. The acquisition is being conducted as a corporate acquisition and the underlying property value is SEK 750 million. The property consists of an approximately 60,000 sq m site and a leasable area of approximately 62,000 sq m in existing buildings. Work is underway at the property to develop a new zoning plan. With the acquisition, Platzer becomes a leading property owner in the area since the company already owns the neighbouring property, Bagaregården 17:26, and will also start the construction of Gamlestadens Resecentrum at the end of 2015. Platzer takes possession of the property on 30 April 2015 and the company is included in the accounts from the same date.

At the start of January, Platzer signed a contract for the sale of Gullbergsvass 703:53 to Gothenburg City, with vacation when the zoning scheme for the new Hisingsbro Bridge gains legal force. At the same time, Platzer obtained an option for future development rights on approximately 40,000 sq m, when the new bridge is erected.
During March, Platzer has also concluded agreements to sell four properties in southern Högsbo. The properties Högsbo 11:5, Högsbo 14:3, Högsbo 13:6 and Högsbo 27:8 are being sold with vacation on 28 April 2015 to Kungsleden. The sales are being conducted through corporate sales and the companies are excluded from the accounts the same date they are vacated.
Previously, Platzer has already concluded an agreement to sell Högsbo 11:3 to a private property owner with vacation on 1 April 2015, with exclusion from the accounts on the same date.

1) The completion is conditional on the zoning plan gaining legal force and that a license is given for the water activities.
Platzer has a project portfolio including approximately 100,000 sq m leasable area, of which ongoing production includes 9,700 sq m. The projects are mainly for office properties with elements of service. The total project investment is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 3 billion, of which ongoing major projects account for SEK 500 million. The project portfolio is divided into two parts, property development and project development. Property development concerns a development of existing buildings, whether it is a superstructure, extension or conversion, and this includes everything from minor adjustments for tenants to major projects. Project development involves new construction from the ground up where previous buildings are demolished for the new construction project.
Ongoing projects, as set out in the table below, are fully leased out. Försäkringskassan and GR Göteborgsregionens kommunalförbund are estimated to move into Gårda 3:12, 3:14 during the third quarter of the year. Gårda 1:15 and Livered 1:329 are being converted for the Swedish Migration Board, with estimated completion during first quarter of 2016.
Apart from individual development projects as above and in table, Platzer is also engaged in the urban development of entire areas, where Platzer is a part of the development process. One example of this is the development of Backaplan, where Platzer, as one of five property owners in partnership with the municipality, has developed a master plan for the area, which is now moving into the zoning plan phase, with the goal of obtaining a living inner city environment and mixed urban area. In northern Högsbo, Platzer, as the largest property owner, is taking the initiative in the transformation of the area into a living, mixed, urban area. To this can also be linked the city's plans to create a city boulevard from the neighbouring traffic route. In both Gårda and Gamlestaden, Platzer has several possible projects that, together, interact to give a continued development in both of these areas.
