Comments by the CEO

Dear shareholder

During the third quarter of 2014, the trend of an increasing profit from property management continued and strengthened further. The result up to and including Q3 of SEK 4.62 per ordinary share compared to SEK 3.33 per ordinary share in the previous year, represents an increase of 39 per cent. The fast growth rate is mainly due to net investments in properties and the continued decreasingly level of interest rates. The repo rate is now down to zero per cent and is expected to remain at this level for the next 1.5 – 2 years. This means that 2015 is also likely to be a year with very good profit from property management, which will unfortunately also result in continued increasing interest in properties, leading to greater competition and a lower yield for the objects offered for sale.

Over the course of the year, it was net investments and not lower interest rates, which made the largest contribution by far to the increase in our profit from property management. At the time of the establishment of the company, Balder had an average interest expense of 3 per cent compared to the current level of 2.7 per cent. The fact that we have such a high average interest rate as 2.7 per cent is due to poor decisions on my part with regard to interest rate refixing periods, i.e. our derivative positions. If you learn some time that I am fixing interest rates, it can definitely be a good idea to do the opposite.

Apart from this, we have a lot to be pleased about at Balder. Management and letting developed positively and so did our investments in project development. Even our associated companies, lead by Collector, are performing really well and still have huge potential. We also have a fantastic accounting and finance department, which makes life easy for me – thanks to all of you!

Outlook

Despite increased interest in property investments, I believe that we have good potential to develop Balder for a long time to come and generate a good return for our longterm shareholders.

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 44 per cent during the period and amounted to SEK 897m (624), which corresponds to SEK 4.62 per ordinary share (3.33). Profit from property management includes SEK 137m (112) in respect of associated companies.

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 1,658m (1,183), corresponding to SEK 9.34 per ordinary share (6.83). Profit before tax was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 1,428m (457), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –422m (429) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 225m (95).

Rental income

Rental income increased by 36 percent to SEK 1,848m (1,363). The increase was primarily due to a larger real estate portfolio. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 30 September of SEK 2,795m (2,007) on an annual basis. The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,296/sq.m. (1,268).

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 30 September. The total rental value of unlet areas for the period amounted to SEK 145m (122) on an annual basis.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK 569m (425) 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 36 per cent to SEK 1,279m (938), which implies a surplus ratio of 69 per cent (69).

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 September, based on a ten-year cash flow model, of the entire real estate portfolio. Unrealised changes in value during the period amounted to SEK 1,318m (447). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 110m (10).

The average yield requirement as of 30 September amounted to 5.8 per cent (5.9). The change in value during the period was attributable to improved net operating income and a 0.1 percent lower average yield requirement.

Management and administrative costs

Management and administrative costs amounted to SEK 117m (88) during the period. The increase was mainly due to a significantly larger property portfolio.

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 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 225m (95) during the period and Balder's participation in the associated companies' profit from property management amounted to SEK 137m (112). Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 116m (6).

Net financial items and changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –403m (–338) and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –422m (429). The negative change in value during the period 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 2.8 per cent (3.2) during the period, including the effect of accrued interest from interest rate derivatives.

Taxes

Balder reported current tax expense for the period of SEK 3m (–) and a deferred tax expense of SEK 330m (309).

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 1,194m (752). At yearend, the Group's overall tax deficit amounted to approximately SEK 2,000m.

The third quarter 2014

Profit from property management for the third quarter of 2014 increased by 46 per cent and amounted to SEK 360m (246), which corresponds to SEK 1.91 per share (1.34). Profit from property management included SEK 51m (42) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 655m (461) and property costs amounted to SEK 161m (116), which meant that net operating income increased by 43 per cent and generated net operating income for the third quarter of SEK 494m (345). The surplus ratio amounted to 75 per cent (75).

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 289m (332), corresponding to SEK 1.47 per share (1.87). 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 129m (120), unrealised changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –119m (55) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 36m (35).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 740m (521). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 5,323m (1,504). During the period, acquisition of properties of SEK 5,672m (1,027), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK 537m (493) and investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments and associated companies of SEK 335m (81) and dividends paid of SEK 150m (93) have been financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 613m (376), by property divestments of SEK 938m (90), financial investments of SEK 219m (7), disposal of own shares of SEK 220m (–), secured liquidity of SEK 19m (–), dividends from associated companies of SEK 45m (–) and net borrowings of SEK 4,634m (1,062).

Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK –6m (2). The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 779m (336) on 30 September.

Employees and organisation

The number of employees on 30 September amounted to 283 persons (230), of whom 97 (73) 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 85m (70) during the period.

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 561m (399). Dividend of SEK 714m (–) from subsidiaries and associated companies was included and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –390m (368).

Real estate holdings

On 30 September, Balder owned 494 properties (431) with a lettable area of approximately 2,157,000 sq.m. (1,582,000) to a value of SEK 34,506m (24,176). Balder's total rental value amounted to SEK 2,795m (2,007).

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.

Balder's real estate holdings on 2014-09-30 1)

1) The above table refers to the properties owned by Balder at the end of the period. Sold properties have been excluded and acquired properties have been estimated using full-year values. Other properties include hotel, educational, care, industrial and mixed-use properties. Project real estate is included in carrying amount during construction period, but not in the other columns.

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 30 September, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.8 per cent (5.9), excluding project real estate, which is 0.1 per cent lower than at the start of the year. The reduction in the yield requirement is attributable 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.

Project real estate

Earlier in the year, we took possession of the hotel Park Inn by Radisson in Lund and completed Skeppshandel 1 in Stockholm, which is 98 per cent let to tenants including ICA, Profil Hotels and Bengt Dahlgren AB. During the third quarter, Rosvalla arena, Brandholmen 1:72 was completed in Nyköping, with a lettable area of about 13,000 sq.m.

Balder had one property under construction as of 30 September. The overall investment will amount to about SEK 500m on completion, of which about SEK 255m remains to be invested. The project is a turnkey agreement for construction of approximately 200 apartments in Örestad Syd in Copenhagen. The lettable area will amount to about 18,000 sq.m. The project is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2016, and will be let in three phases.

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's 494 properties (431) amounted to SEK 34,506m (24,176) on 30 September. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 1,318m (447) and was attributable to improved net operating income and a 0.1 percent lower yield requirement.

Investments, acquisitions and divestments

During the year, a total of SEK 6,433m (1,520) was invested, of which SEK 5,895m (1,027) related to acquisitions and SEK 537m (493) related to investments in existing properties and projects. Properties with a sales value of SEK 938m (90) were divested during the period. 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 5.7 years (4.8). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 8.7 per cent (9.1) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 11.7 years (12.2). No individual lease accounts for more than 1.5 per cent (1.5) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 5.5 per cent (2.5) of total rental income.

Financing

Equity

Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 12,782m (9,537) on 30 September and the equity/assets ratio amounted to 34.2 per cent (36.3). During the period, equity increased by comprehensive income for the period of SEK 1,665m (1,180), the disposal of all repurchased shares of SEK 220m (–) and decreased by SEK 150m (93) on account of dividends paid to the preference shareholders and dividends entered as a liability but still unpaid to the preference shareholders of SEK 150m, 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 19,527m (14,040) on 30 September, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 56.6 per cent (58.1). 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 750m (730) on 30 September. On 30 September, Balder's average interest rate refixing period amounted to 2.5 years (3.9).

The fixed credit term amounted to 4.4 years (5.6) and the average interest rate amounted to 2.7 per cent (3.5), 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 –422m (429) during the period. The remaining deficit on derivatives, SEK 884m (477), will be released during the remainder of the term and recognised as income. This means that Balder has a reserve of SEK 884m 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 779m (336) at the end of the accounting period. 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 30 September, the equity/assets ratio was 34.2 per cent (36.3) and the interest coverage ratio was 3.2 times (2.8).

Events after the end of the period

After the end of the period, Balder signed an agreement with Skanska regarding construction of 184 apartments at Havneholmen, centrally located in Copenhagen harbour. The lettable area is approximately 17,574 sq.m. and the investment amounts to approximately SEK 575m. Construction has begun and will be completed during the first quarter of 2016.

Balder has also, in two different transactions, agreed to sell properties through a transfer of company ownership with an agreed real estate value of about SEK 800m.

The first transaction concerns commercial premises of approximately 44,000 sq.m., which are being sold to Header Compression Sweden Holding AB while carrying out a change of name to Stendörren Properties AB. As partial payment, Balder will subscribe for shares equivalent to SEK 100m.

In the other transaction, 50 per cent of the property Murmästaren 3 is being 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, an agreement has been signed to sell part of the site leasehold right Stockholm Årstaäng 4 to JM AB. The sales price amounted to SEK 198m and JM will take possession during the third quarter of 2015.

Balder also sold all of its properties in Halmstad. The divested properties include Hjärtat 4, Bonden 5, Flygaren 17 and Makrillen 8. The total sales value amounted to SEK 177m.

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 16m (12) 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.

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. When the interpretation has been fully adopted, Balder will apply it, which will result in reporting of the entire remaining property tax for 2014 as a liability.

Nomination Committee

The Annual General Meeting on Thursday 7 May 2014 resolved that the nomination committee shall be composed of one representative for each of the two largest shareholders or ownership spheres in addition to Lars Rasin, who represents the other shareholders. The names of the other two members and the owners they represent shall be announced not later than six months before the Annual General Meeting and shall be based on known ownership immediately prior to publication.

In accordance with this resolution, Balder's nomination committee, based on ownership as of 30 September 2014 and known changes subsequently, is composed of Christian Hahne, representing Erik Selin Fastigheter AB and Rikard Svensson, representing Arvid Svensson Invest AB.

The Annual General Meeting will be held in Gothenburg on Wednesday 6 May 2015. Shareholders who wish to contact the nomination committee can do so via e-mail to [email protected]

Gothenburg 4 November 2014

Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer Review report of condensed interim financial information (interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Fastighets AB Balder (publ), corp. id. no. 556525-6905 as of 30 September 2014 and for the nine-month period that ended on this date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

The focus and scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of the interim report consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not constitute the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report, in all material respects, is not prepared for the Group in compliance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company in compliance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
