Comments by the CEO

Dear shareholder

The past year

For Balder, 2014 was an intensive year with a high level of activity on the property management and transaction side. We sold a number of properties and acquired buildings in central Stockholm and Gothenburg including hotels, land and development properties. We continued to invest in Denmark and also added Finland as a new market – so far on a small scale – but we see interesting opportunites there in the longer term.

Associated companies

There was also a high level of activity among our associated companies. It can be mentioned that when GE decided to no longer act as a direct investor in the Swedish property market, we agreed to acquire their participating interest in our jointly-owned company and this company is now wholly-owned by us. We gained two new jointly-owned companies in Gothenburg, with Elof Hansson as well as Coop. We look forward to many very good years and transactions with these new partners. Centur, which we own together with Peab, carried out large acquisitions during the year, laying the groundwork for interesting investment opportunities for a long time to come.

Aside from the fact that our associated companies are good transactions in themselves, involving companies and people that we value and like, I would also like to say that I personally, and no doubt many others, have always learned a lot from these transactions and other collaboration during the years. Luckily, I still have much to learn and hopefully many years of collaboration to look forward to.

The market

The generally cautious economic situation without inflation has currently resulted in interest rate levels for some borrowers and maturities, which are down in negative territory. Personally, I think that the negative interest rates are a bit difficult to relate to and in some way make it harder to estimate reasonable yield requirements on different classes of assets.

The low level of interest rates has still not lead to inflation measured in terms of the CPI but probably has in the case of certain asset prices/classes (properties/shares). The stronger the market becomes for these classes of assets the more we need to think about financial strength and safety margins.

Results

However, the most important performance measurement for Balder – profit from property management/current earning capacity – is positively impacted by the low level of interest rates. The main explanatory factor behind the increased earning capacity over time is all our property acquisitions and investments and not least the whole Balder organisation, which manages these investments and the confidence of owners, financiers, suppliers and society in general so well!

2015

We enter 2015 with a strong earning capacity and with better possibilities as a company than previous years. Despite strong investor interest and competition, I still believe that we have good potential to find business opportunities that offer a reasonably good return in the longer term.

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 49 per cent during the year and amounted to SEK 1,275m (854), which corresponds to SEK 6.64 per ordinary share (4.57). Profit from property management includes SEK 195m (157) in respect of associated companies.

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 3,128m (1,738), corresponding to SEK 18.10 per ordinary share (10.11). Profit before tax was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 3,050m (854), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –624m (433) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 317m (204).

Rental income

Rental income increased by 34 percent to SEK 2,525m (1,884). The increase was primarily due to a larger real estate portfolio. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 31 December of SEK 2,885m (2,394) on an annual basis. The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,325/sq.m. (1,216).

Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate amounted to 95 per cent (94) on 31 December. The total rental value of unlet areas for the period amounted to SEK 155m (134) on an annual basis.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK 760m (609) during the year. The increase in property costs was mainly due to the change in the property portfolio but these costs were also positively impacted by a mild winter with very little snow.

Net operating income increased by 39 per cent to SEK 1,766m (1,274), which implies a surplus ratio of 70 per cent (68). Operating costs normally vary with the seasons. The first and fourth quarters have higher costs than the other quar- ters, 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 2,906m (839). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 144m (16).

The average yield requirement as of 31 December amounted to 5.5 per cent (5.9). The change in value during the year was mainly attributable to a 0.4 percentage points lower yield requirement on average since the beginning of the year and improved net operating income.

Management and administrative costs

Management and administrative costs amounted to SEK 154m (121) during the year.

Participations in the profit of associated companies

Balder owns 50 per cent of the property-managing associated companies and project development companies Bovieran and Fix Holding. The participating interest in the finance and credit management company Collector amounts to approximately 48 per cent.

On 30 June, Balder acquired the remaining 50 per cent of the shares in Akroterion AB, which means that the company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Profit from participations in associated companies amounted to SEK 317m (204) during the year and Balder's participation in the associated companies' profit from property management amounted to SEK 195m (157).

Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 178m (100).

Net financial items and changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –531m (–456) and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –624m (433). The negative change in value during the year was due to a decrease 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 2.7 per cent (3.1) during the period, including the effect of accrued interest from interest rate derivatives

Taxes

Balder reported current tax expense for the period of SEK –11m (6) and a deferred tax expense of SEK –682m (–418).

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 during the year.

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 1,549m (862). At yearend, the Group's overall tax deficit amounted to approximately SEK 1,700m (2,000).

The fourth quarter 2014

Profit from property management for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased by 65 per cent and amounted to SEK 378m (229), which corresponds to SEK 2.02 per share (1.23). Profit from property management included SEK 58m (44) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 677m (520) and property costs amounted to SEK 191m (184), which meant that net operating income increased by 45 per cent and generated net operating income for the fourth quarter of SEK 486m (336). The surplus ratio amounted to 72 per cent (65).

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,470m (556), corresponding to SEK 8.74 per share (3.28). The change in profit was mainly due to changes in value in respect of derivatives.

The result was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 1,621m (397), unrealised changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –202m (4) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 92m (109).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,038m (708). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 6,708m (4,593). During the year, acquisition of properties of SEK 6,835m (3,606), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK 700m (880) and investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments and associated companies of SEK 570m (297) and dividends paid of SEK 200m (125) amounts to SEK 8,305m. These have been financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 1,340m (502), by property divestments of SEK 1,114m (145), financial investments of SEK 219m (7), disposal of own shares of SEK 220m (–), secured liquidity of SEK 19m (36), dividends from associated companies of SEK 45m (–) and net borrowings of SEK 5,338m (3,079).

Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK –8m (160). The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 806m (1,004) on 31 December.

Employees and organisation

The number of employees on 31 December amounted to 313 persons (290), of whom 110 (102) were women. 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 124m (99) during the period.

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 302m (365). Dividend of SEK 714m (–) from subsidiaries and associated companies was included and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –585m (374) and paid group contributions amounted to SEK –250m (–114).

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.

Annual Report and Annual General Meeting

The annual report for 2014 will be available on Balder's website, www.balder.se, from week 15, 2015.

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 yield 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 5.5 per cent (5.9), excluding project real estate, which is 0.4 percentage points lower than at the start of the year. The reduction in the yield requirement is attri- butable to the strong prevailing demand for properties. Our assessment is that the new yield requirement better reflects the market's determination of prices.

In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder regularly allows parts of its portfolio to be externally valued during the year or at each year-end. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant. During the fourth quarter Balder has externally valued over six per cent of the property portfolio. The properties which have been externally valued are located in Skåne, Copenhagen and Gothenburg and the external valuation exceeded Balders internal valuation with approximately 8 per cent.

Project real estate

Earlier in the year, Balder took possession of the hotel Park Inn by Radisson in Lund and completed Skeppshandel 1 in Stockholm, which is let to tenants including ICA, Profil Hotels and Bengt Dahlgren AB and Rosvalla arena in Nyköping, with a lettable area of about 13,000 sq.m which is let to Nyköping municipality on a long lease agreement.

Balder had two projects under construction as of 31 December. The overall investment will amount to about SEK 1,100m on completion, of which about SEK 570m remains to be invested. Both projects refers to construction of residentials in Copenhagen. The first project consists of approximately 200 apartments and is located in Örestad Syd where Balder already owns residentials. The second project refers to construction of approximately 185 apartments on Havneholmen in central Copenhagen. Both projects are expected to be completed during the first half of 2016.

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's 494 properties (498) amounted to SEK 37,382m (27,532) on 31 December. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 2,906m (838) and was attributable to improved net operating income and a 0.4 percentage points lower yield requirement.

Investments, acquisitions and divestments

During the year, a total of SEK 7,759m (4,486) was invested, of which SEK 7,059m (3,606) related to acquisitions and SEK 700m (880) related to investments in existing properties and projects. Properties with a sales value of SEK 1,114m (145) were divested during the period. The change in the real estate portfolio during the year may be seen in the table below. The profit from property divestments amounted to SEK 144m (16), which exceeded the latest carrying amount by 15 per cent (12).

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 5.9 years (4.9). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 9.4 per cent (9.1) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 11.1 years (9.9). No individual lease accounts for more than 1.5 per cent (1.7) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 4.8 per cent (1.7) of total rental income.

Financing

Equity

Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 14,261m (11,196) on 31 December and the equity/assets ratio amounted to 35.5 per cent (37.3). During the period, equity increased by comprehensive income for the period of SEK 3,145m (1,735), the disposal of all repurchased shares of SEK 220m (–) and decreased by SEK 200m (125) on account of dividends paid to the preference shareholders and dividends entered as a liability but still unpaid to the preference shareholders of SEK 100m, according to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting 2014. The dividend is paid out quarterly.

Interest-bearing liabilities

The group's interest-bearing liabilities in respect of properties amounted to SEK 20,317m (15,703) on 31 December, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 54,3 per cent (57.0). The interest-bearing liabilities consist of bonds of SEK 1,950m in total (750), a certificate programme with a framework amount of SEK 1,500m (1,000) and bilateral bank loans with Nordic banks. Balder's certificate programme had an outstanding volume of SEK 675m (685) on 31 December. On 31 December, Balder's average interest rate refixing period amounted to 2.3 years (3.5).

The fixed credit term amounted to 4.3 years (5.4) and the average interest rate amounted to 2.6 per cent (3.2), 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 –624m (433) during the year. The remaining deficit on derivatives, SEK 1,086m (472), will be released during the remainder of the term and recognised as income. This means that Balder has a reserve of SEK 1,086m 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.

Liquidity

The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 806m (1,004) at the end of the accounting period. Q3 Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q2Q3 Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3

Financial goals

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 31 December, the equity/assets ratio was 35.5 per cent (37.3) and the interest coverage ratio was 3.4 times (2.9).

Events after the end of the period

In the beginning of January 50 per cent of the property Stockholm Murmästaren 3 was sold to Oscar Properties Holding AB. Balder will continue to own 50 per cent of the property and will develop the property together with Oscar Properties.

In addition, after the period, Balder has acquired the hotel property Stockholm Snöflingan 3, for approximately SEK 670m. The property was completed in 2009, and has a lettable area of approximately 22,000 square meters. The hotel business is operated by Courtyard by Marriott Stockholm.

Related party transactions

Balder receives fees from associated companies and Erik Selin Fastigheter AB for property and company management services. These fees amounted to SEK 25m (16) during the period and are reported in management and administrative costs.

Risks and uncertainties

Balder's operations, financial position and results may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainty factors. These are described in the Annual Report for 2013, on pages 42-45. Since year-end acquisitions were made in Finland, which means that a limited currency exposure has occurred. Otherwise, no significant changes noted.

Accounting policies

Balder applies IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union in its consolidated accounts and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In addition, relevant provisions of

the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Markets Act have also been applied. The parent company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, the Securities Markets Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities.

The accounting policies and calculation methods applied are unchanged compared with the Annual Report for 2013 The interpretation IFRIC 21 Levies described in the Annual Report for 2013 has still not been adopted by the EU. It therefore has not been applied by the group in this interim report.

The Board's proposals to the Annual General Meeting

Ahead of the annual general meeting on 6 May 2015, the board intends to propose that the meeting should pass resolutions regarding the following matters:

  • • That no dividend shall be declared for the ordinary share,
  • • Dividend of SEK 20.00 shall be declared per preference share,
  • • Authorise the board until the next annual general meeting, to repurchase and transfer B shares and preference shares in Balder equivalent to not more than 10 per cent of all shares in the company,
  • • Authorise the board until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, to resolve on new issue of preference- and/or ordinary shares of Class B, corresponding to not more than 10 per cent of the existing share capital. It shall be possible to subscribe for the shares in cash, in kind or through right of setoff.

This interim report has not been subject to review by the company's auditors.
