Comments by the CEO – Balder 9 years

Dear shareholder

It is now nio years since Balder was established in its present form and thus we have one year left until we can present the company's performance over the past decade.

In most cases, it really doesn't matter if Balder has existed for x or y number of years but from an owner and investor perspective, I personally believe that is positive to be able to follow the performance over the past ten years, and all things being equal, I have always felt that time is on our side.

Since my childhood, I have always been very interested in companies and investments and naturally it is most interesting to think about the future performance but as a rule I always take a look at how things have gone over the past ten years. I would like to point out, however, that at Balder we like to think several decades ahead.

To date, 2014 has been a transaction-intensive year, during which we have acquired properties for just over SEK 5 billion and divested properties for SEK 1 billion. The profit from property management, which for us is the most important performance measurement, increased by more than 35 per cent per ordinary share compared to last year. This abnormal increase was due to a combination of a good performance in our property management, many large acquisitions and the low level of interest rates.

There is currently a strong interest for property investments generally, which has resulted in a slightly lower yield requirement in the market and together with improved net operating income, this affects the value of our properties positively by approximately SEK 1 billion.

Outlook and goals

From a financial perspective, our goal is to achieve a good total yield in the long term. We don't have any profitability targets in the short term, per year or per transaction. The decisive factor is what is best for our owners who intend to retain their shares over a longer period of time. When and how much we invest and expand is determined by the business opportunities that appear over the course of the journey. Thus we can also be a net seller of properties occasionally.

I would like to thank all of you who have been involved in our operations in some way during the first nine years and I look forward to many, many more years, of meetings and opportunities.

It feels like we are still only at the beginning of our journey.

Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer

Current earnings 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 42 per cent during the period and amounted to SEK 537m (378), which corresponds to SEK 2.71 per ordinary share (2.00). Profit from property management includes SEK 86m (71) in respect of associated companies.

Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,370m (851), corresponding to SEK 7.88 per ordinary share (4.96) Profit before tax was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 1,301m (337), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –303m (373) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 190m (60).

Rental income

Rental income increased by 32 percent to SEK 1,193m (902). 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 2,738m (1,993) on an annual basis. The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,289/sq.m. (1,267).

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 June. The total rental value of unlet areas for the period amounted to SEK 138m (128) on an annual basis.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK 408m (309) during the year. The increase in property costs was mainly due to the change in the property portfolio but these costs where also positively impacted by a mild winter with very little snow. Net operating income increased by 32 per cent to SEK 785m (594), which implies a surplus ratio of 66 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 1,189m (329). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 112m (8).

The average yield requirement as of 30 June 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 per cent lower yield requirement.

Management and administrative costs

Management and administrative costs amounted to SEK 78m (62) during the first half of 2014. 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 190m (60) during the period and Balder's participation in the associated companies' profit from property management amounted to SEK 86m (71).

Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 122m (3).

Net financial items and changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –257m (–224) and unrealised changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –303m (373). 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 a deferred tax expense for the period of SEK 266m (226).

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 1,127m (667). At yearend, the group's overall tax deficit amounted to about SEK 2,000m.

Second quarter, 2014

Profit from property management for the second quarter of 2014 increased by 40 per cent and amounted to SEK 303m (217), which corresponds to SEK 1.56 per share (1.18). Profit from property management included SEK 47m (34) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 627m (454) and property costs amounted to SEK 191m (132), which meant that net operating income increased by 35 per cent and generated net operating income for the second quarter of SEK 436m (322). The surplus ratio amounted to 70 per cent (71).

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,087m (445), corresponding to SEK 6.39 per share (2.60). The change in profit was mainly due to changes in value in respect of properties and derivatives.

The result was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 1,053m (166), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –179m (184) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 157m (29).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 429m (291). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 4,470m (1,043). During the period, acquisition of properties of SEK 5,128m (837), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK 403m (212) and investments in property, plant and equipment,

financial investments and associated companies of SEK 137m (74) and dividends paid of SEK 100m (60) have been financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 437m (137), by property divestments of SEK 922m (78) and financial investments of SEK 212m (3), disposal of own shares of SEK 220m (–), secured liquidity of SEK 19m (–), dividends from associated companies of SEK 45m (–) and net borrowings of SEK 4,213m (1,038).

Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 300m (71). The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,455m (549) on 30 June.

Employees and organisation

The number of employees on 30 June amounted to 297 persons (223), of which 102 (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 52m (48) during the period.

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK 603m (325). Dividend of SEK 714m (–) from subsidiaries and associated companies was included and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –276m (321).

Real estate holdings

On 30 June, Balder owned 490 properties (431) with a lettable area of approximately 2,125,000 sq.m. (1,572,000) and with a value of SEK 33,717m (23,611). Balder's total rental value amounted to SEK 2,738m (1,993).

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 5.8 per cent, 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

During the first quarter, we took possession of the hotel property in Lund. The property is fully let and is managed under the Park Inn by Radisson brand.

During the second quarter, we took possession of Skeppshandeln 1 in Stockholm. The property is 95 per cent let to tenants including ICA, Profil Hotels and Bengt Dahlgren AB.

Balder had two properties under construction as of 30 June. The overall investment will amount to about

SEK 775m on completion, of which about SEK 325m remains to be invested.

Rosvalla arena, Brandholmen 1:72 is under construction in Nyköping, with a lettable area of about 13,000 sq.m. The property is fully let to Nyköping municipality and is subject to a 25-year lease. The property will be completed during the third quarter of 2014.

Balder has entered into 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 fourth quarter of 2015, and will be let in three phases.

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's 490 properties (431) amounted to SEK 33,717m (23,611) on 30 June. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 1,189m (329) 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 5,755m (1,049) was invested, of which SEK 5,352m (837) related to acquisitions and SEK 403m (212) related to investments in existing properties and projects. Properties with a sales value of SEK 922m (78) 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 5.6 years (4.9). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 8.6 per cent (9.1) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 9.7 years (12.4). No individual lease accounts for more than 1.5 per cent (1.6) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 5.6 per cent (2.5) of total rental income.

Financing

Shareholders' equity

Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 12,486m (9,242) on 30 June and the equity/assets ratio amounted to 34.2 per cent (36.0). During the period, equity increased by comprehensive income for the period of SEK 1,370m (854), the disposal of all repurchased shares of SEK 220m (–) and decreased by SEK 100m (60) on account of dividends paid to the preference shareholders and dividends entered as a liability but still unpaid to the preference shareholders of SEK 200m, 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 19,227m (13,867) on 30 June, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 57.0 per cent (58.7). The interest-bearing liabilities consist of bonds of SEK 1,800m 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 (760) on 30 June. On 30 June, Balder's average interest rate refixing period amounted to 2.5 years (4.2).

The fixed credit term amounted to 4.6 years (6.0) and the average interest rate amounted to 2.8 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. Unrealised changes in value amounted to SEK –292m (373) during the period. The remaining deficit on derivatives, SEK 765m (495), will be released during the remainder of the term and recognised as income. This means that Balder has a reserve of SEK 765m 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 1,455m (549) at the end of the accounting period. Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2

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 34.2 per cent (36.0) and the interest coverage ratio was 3.1 times (2.7).

Events after the end of the period

After the end of the period, Balder acquired the properties Nordstaden 10:16 and 10:17 in Gothenburg with a lettable area of 7,900 sq.m. mainly containing the Grand Hotel Opera. The property is located in proximity to Nordstaden shopping centre and Central station in the centre of Gothenburg. Balder has also agreed to acquire the office property Stockholm Havsfrun 26 with a lettable area of 3,500 sq.m., which is located in Östermalm in central Stockholm. The total assigned property value of the properties amounted to SEK 475m.

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 12m (8) during the period and are recognised 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.

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

Signature and verification

The Board of Directors and the CEO declare that the undersigned interim report provides a true and fair overview of the parent company's and the group's operations, financial position and performance as well as describing material risks and uncertainties facing the parent company and other companies in the group.
