Chief executive's review

The economic downturn has taken a harsh toll on Sweden, resulting in higher unemployment (9 per cent in May according to Statistics Sweden) and a growing number of bankruptcies. In response, the government and central bank have taken measures to counter the effects of the downturn. The Stockholm region, where Fabege operates, has a strong and diverse economy, and although activity has slowed in some sectors, other sectors continue to show strength. The number of bankruptcies and redundancies are increasing at significantly slower rate in Stockholm than in Sweden as a whole.

In the past year the faltering economy, coupled with problems in the credit system, resulted in a very low level of activity in the transaction market. Nonetheless we have seen a very small rise in activity during the first half of 2009. A few property deals have taken place – Fabege has completed several sales, the results of which suggested that property values have remained stable – but no major transactions took place during the period. In the rental market activity has moderated somewhat but the downturn is felt primarily in the fact that it now takes longer to reach a deal. In those sub-markets where Fabege's properties are located, rents have generally remained stable.

The positive trend in Fabege's surplus ratio and the result from property management activities continued into the first half of 2009. A continued high occupancy rate, stable revenues and continual efficiency improvements created favourable conditions for this development.

With attractive properties in the right locations in Stockholm, favourable interest rates and good access to capital, we have a stable base from which to face the challenges created by the current economic climate and continue to develop the company in a positive direction.

We feel that we are in a strong position, and we will continue to work on our focus areas for 2009: increasing tenant retention, improving the surplus ratio and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Christian Hermelin

Performance in the second quarter1)

Although the downturn has not had any noticeable impact on Fabege's result, transactions processes have become protracted, prolonging the time it takes to complete a deal. Activity in the market remains relatively strong. New lettings during the quarter were SEK 73m while net lettings were SEK 22m.

Fabege has a strong focus on caring for and developing its relationships with customers. In renegotiations the aim is to ensure that the customer remains in a Fabege-owned property. Renegotiations have made a slight positive contribution to the total rental value and rents in the company's main markets have remained stable, despite the weaker economy.

At the end of the period the occupancy rate was 92 per cent.

This is Fabege

A highly concentrated and focused property company Fabege offers efficient premises that are adapted to tenant requirements, primarily offices but also retail and other premises, in the Stockholm area. The company manages, adds value to and develops properties.

Our portfolio is highly concentrated to a limited number of well located sub-markets with a strong development potential. A majority are located in the inner city of Stockholm and in Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad, where Fabege has strong market positions.

Fabege's business model

Fabege aims to create value by managing, improving and adapting its property portfolio, both through sales and acquisitions. Accrued values must be realised at the right time.

Acquisitions

Acquire properties with better growth opportunities than existing investment properties

Improvement

Realise the potential in our improvement and project portfolios

Property management

Property management in close proximity to the client to reduce vacancy levels and increase net operating income.

Sales

Divest properties offering limited growth opportunities

Rental income decreased to SEK 548m (564) due to net sales of properties. For comparable properties rental income grew by 2 per cent.

Earnings after tax increased to SEK 212m (135). Unrealised changes in the value of properties were SEK –81m (–95) due to continued pressure on property values. These have been offset by value-added gains in the project portfolio.

The surplus ratio was 68 per cent (68).

The average interest rate in Fabege's loan portfolio fell by 31 basis points to 2.70 per cent.

Net asset value per share at 30 June was SEK 65 (67) excluding deferred tax on the surplus value of the properties.

Revenues and earnings1)

The profit after tax was SEK 131m (523) and earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.80 (3.10). The profit after tax was SEK 311m (440).

Rental income was SEK 1,096m (1,125) and net operating income SEK 723m (726). The fall in rental income is due to net sales of properties. For comparable properties, rental income increased by 2 per cent and net operating income by 3 per cent.

Realised changes in the value of properties totalled SEK 12m (143) while unrealised changes in value were SEK –200m (–7) due to increased yield requirements in peripheral locations and properties where vacancies are expected to increase. Changes in the value of fixed income derivatives and equities were SEK 120m (–4) while the net interest expense decreased to SEK –311m (–388) due to falling market rates. The net interest expense includes a one-off charge of SEK –21m relating to interest on taxes paid.

Tax

The tax expense (current and deferred) for the period was SEK –180m (83). The figure includes SEK 98m of taxes paid due to the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court not to allow a review of an ongoing tax case, as reported in a press released dated 18 March 2009, which was charged to earnings in the first quarter.

Cash flow

The profit increased liquidity by SEK 287m (419). After an decrease of SEK 61m (–1,721) in working capital, which varies primarily as a result of occupancy/final settlement for acquired and divested properties, operating activities resulted in a change in liquidity of SEK 348m (–1 302). Acquisitions and investments in properties exceeded sales by SEK 163m (–712). The total change in liquidity resulting from operating activities was thus SEK 185m (–590). Cash flow was reduced by a dividend payment of SEK 329m (670) during the period. Share buybacks totalled SEK 0m (292). Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were SEK 39m (85) after increase in dept.

Financing

Fabege employs long-term credit lines with fixed terms and conditions and an average maturity of 6.3 years. The company's creditors are major Nordic banks. Interest-bearing liabilities were SEK 19,031m (18,902) at the end of the period. Changes in market interest rates lowered Fabege's average rent during the period from 3.01 to 2.63 per cent excluding the cost of unused committed lines of credit, or 2.70 per cent including this cost.

The interest rate on 41 per cent of Fabege's loan portfolio have been fixed using fixed income derivatives. The average fixedrate period was 26 months, including the effect of derivatives. At June 30, 2009 Fabege's derivatives portfolio amounted to SEK 7,850m with maturities of up to nine years. Of these, SEK 7,550m referred to callable swaps at levels ranging from 3.33 per cent and 3.98 per cent. The derivatives contracts were concluded in summer 2008 to improve cash flow in a situation where the market was expecting interest rates to rise. The aim was to obtain a discount on interest rates or fix rates at a level that was attractive from a long-term perspective.

In compliance with the accounting rules contained in IAS 39, the derivatives portfolio has been valued at market value and the change has been passed through the profit and loss account. At June 30, 2009 the deficit in the portfolio was SEK 357m. The derivatives portfolio has been valued as the present value of future cash flows. The change in value is of an accounting character and does not affect cash flow or leverage.

The average fixed-rate period for variable-rate loans is 42 days. Reductions in interest rates will thus quickly affect about 59 per cent of the loan portfolio.

At June 30 the company had unused committed lines of credit of SEK 3,064m. During the period an agreement for a loan of SEK 1,000m maturing in 2010 was extended until 2011.

Fabege has available long-term credit facilities covering all outstanding commercial paper at any given time. In 2009 the volume of outstanding commercial paper has increased slightly, to SEK 1,171m at June 30, 2009.

The total loan volume includes loans for projects worth SEK 904m, on which the interest of SEK 10m has been capitalised.

Financial position and net asset value

Shareholders' equity at the end of the period was SEK 9,675m (9,873) and the equity/assets ratio was 32 per cent (32). Equity

Fabege's property portfolio and property management

Fabege's activities in management and improvement of properties and project development are concentrated to a few selected sub-markets with strong growth prospects in and around Stockholm. Stockholm's inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad are the company's main markets.

At June 30 Fabege owned 153 properties with a total rental value of SEK 2.4bn, a lettable floor area of 1.4 million m2 and a book value, including project properties, of SEK 29.5bn.

Commercial premises, primarily offices, represented 96 per cent of the rental value and residential premises 4 per cent. The financial occupancy rate for the portfolio as a whole, including project properties, was 92 per cent (93). The vacancy rate in the investment property portfolio was 7 per cent.

New lettings totalled SEK 224m (125) during the period while net lettings were SEK 99m (12). A 43,000 m2 let to Vattenfall in Arenastaden, Solna had a significant impact on net lettings.

Rent levels in renegotiated contracts (49 contracts covering a total area of approx. 23,877m2 ) increased by an average of 3 per cent.

Market

The impact of the economic downturn is reflected in longer transaction processes, increased competition for potential customers and a growing number of customers that wish to adapt their floor space to the current economic climate. Despite this, rents have generally remained stable in Fabege's properties while vacancies are low.

In Stockholm City the market remains stable but an increase in the supply of office space, primarily in the area around the central station, has led to stronger competition. Due to low vacancies, Fabege's portfolio of office premises is limited and concentrated to a small number of properties.

2 The table refers to Fabege's property portfolio as at 30 June 2009. Income and expenses are reported as if the properties had been held during the whole period. The difference between reported net operating income, SEK 717m, and net operating income in the profit and loss account, SEK 723, is explained by the fact that net operating income from divested properties has been excluded and acquired/completed properties have been adjusted upwards as if they had been owned/completed during the whole of the period January–June 2009.

Distribution of book value/market value

Improvement properties, SEK 4.1bn

North Stockholm, 19 %

In Fabege's other inner city sub-markets, Kungsholmen and Södermalm, market conditions are relatively good. The eastern part of Kungsholmen is benefiting from its proximity to the central station and the renewal of the western areas of Stockholm City. The western half of Kungsholmen is also experiencing a positive trend thanks to the redevelopment and renewal of the area, but the supply of commercial space is large and competition is tough. The market in Södermalm, where Fabege owns two properties, can be characterised as stable with low vacancy rates.

Fabege's main sub-markets in Solna are Solna Business Park and Arenastaden (next to Solna Station). Despite the economic downturn, there is interest in establishing offices in Arenastaden, close to the future national arena, Swedbank Arena, and Scandinavia's largest shopping centre, Mall of Scandinavia. In Solna Business Park the market remains good with a high occupancy rate.

In Hammarby Sjöstad the market is still in a development phase. The redevelopment and renewal of the former industrial estate is turning it into an attractive office location.

Changes in the property portfolio

In the first six months of 2009 Fabege sold seven properties for a total consideration of SEK 618m. The sales resulted in a profit of

SEK 12m before tax, or SEK 15m after tax. One property was acquired for SEK 56m.

Changes in the value of properties

About 20 per cent of the properties have been externally valued as at June 30, 2009. The remaining properties have been valued internally based on the latest valuations. The total market value at June 30 was SEK 29.5bn. Unrealised changes in the value of properties during the period totalled SEK –200m (–7). Negative changes in value referred to increased yield requirements in peripheral locations and in properties where vacancies are expected to increase. These have been offset by positive changes in value attributable to the project portfolio.

Projects and investments

Fabege's project investments are forward-looking and are designed to reduce vacancy rates and raise rents in the portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and adding value.

Fabege's principle is that no investment projects should be initiated before the project has essentially been let and fully funded. Total investments in existing properties and projects were SEK 687m (857). The investments referred to new builds, extensions and conversions. The largest investments are shown in the table on page 5.

* Operational occupancy rate, 3 July 2009

The annual rent for the largest projects in progress can increase to SEK 180m (fully let) from SEK 65m currently as of 30 June 2009.

Major projects (see also Projects in progress)

The project in Bocken 35 and 46 at the junction of Lästmakargatan–Regeringsgatan in Stockholm City is proceeding according to plan and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The Paradiset 29 project, an office and retail property on Kungsholmen, is proceeding according to plan, and the retail area will open in August 2009. Two new office lets were agreed in the first half of the year. IFS and Fazer have signed contracts for a total of 5,320 m2 . All retail areas have now been let. Paradiset 20 has been certified under the European Commission's Green-Building programme.

Fabege's Päronet 8 property in Solna Strand is undergoing an internal renovation and conversion. The project will be completed in the first quarter of 2010 and the property has been fully let to the Swedish Tax Agency.

Staff

At the end of the period the Fabege Group had 135 employees (140).

Parent company

Sales during the period were SEK 48m (58) and earnings before appropriations and tax were SEK –7m (–176). Net investments in property, equipment and shares were SEK 761m (1). The parent company applies Recommendation RFR 2.2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. (See also the profit and loss account and balance sheet on page 9.)

Share buyback programme

The 2009 AGM passed a resolution authorising the Board, during the period up to the next AGM, to buy back shares in the company. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of outstanding shares at any time. No share buybacks were made during the period. At 30 June 2009 the company held 4,929,400 treasury shares, representing 2.9 per cent of the total number of registered shares.

Ongoing tax cases

As announced previously, the Swedish Tax Agency has decided to increase the Fabege Group's taxable income in respect of a number of property sales made through limited partnerships (see also the press release from 7 December 2006). At June 30, 2009 the total increase in taxable income was SEK 4,045m. The decisions have resulted in total tax demands of SEK 1,132m plus a tax penalty of SEK 170m, i.e. a total demand of SEK 1,302m excluding interest. Fabege has strong reasons to contest the Tax Agency's decisions and has therefore appealed the decisions to the County Administrative Court in Stockholm. In the second quarter of 2009 the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden announced decisions on three cases relating to other companies than Fabege. Fabege believes the decisions on the preliminary rulings addressed by the Supreme Administrative Court are not applicable to Fabege's cases, as they differ from each other.

Lindhagen property opens for business

Lindhagen is the name of an office and retail property being built by Fabege in partnership with Peab in the Stadshagen district in western Kungsholmen. Lindhagen will provide 13,000 m2 of retail space and 10,500 m2 of office space as well as parking facilities. The retail areas will open for business in August 2009. The office spaces will be ready before year-end.

Fabege maintains that the sales were accounted for and declared in compliance with applicable rules. This assessment is shared by external legal experts and tax advisors.

No provision has been made in Fabege's balance sheet, but the amount has been recognised as a contingent liability, as in previous financial statements.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations are primarily attributable to changes in rent levels, vacancy rates and interest rates. A detailed description of the effect of these changes on consolidated earnings is given in the sensitivity analysis in the 2008 Annual Report (page 37).

Properties are reported at fair value and changes in value are recognised in the profit and loss account. The effects of changes in value on consolidated earnings, the equity/assets ratio and leverage are shown in the sensitivity analysis in the 2008 Annual Report (page 37).

Fabege signs lease with Net Entertainment

Net Entertainment has signed a seven-year contract for the lease of 2,500 m2 office space at Luntmakargatan 18 in Stockholm City.

Net Entertainment develops software for online casino operations. The company needs bigger premises to meet the requirements created by a current growth phase.

"The main reason we chose Fabege as landlord is that they were very attentive to and quick to respond to the requirements we had for our new premises," Bertil Jungmar, CFO of Net Entertainment, says. "We need bigger premises in which to grow, and an environment that stimulates creativity, communication, efficiency and flexibility."

Financial risk, i.e. the risk of insufficient access to long-term funding through loans, and Fabege's management of this risk are described in the 2008 Annual Report (page 52).

No significant changes in the company's risk assessments have been made since then after publication of the 2008 Annual Report.

Under its adopted targets for capital structure, Fabege aims to have an equity/assets ratio of at least 30 per cent and an interest coverage ratio of at least 2 times (incl. realised changes in value).

Accounting principles

Fabege prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. From 1 January 2009 the Group applies the new standard, IFRS 8 Operating Segments, which is based on the viewpoint of management. As a result, the Group's reportable segments have changed and two reportable segments have been defined for the Group, Investment Properties and Project/Improvement Properties.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements has been revised with effect from January 1, 2009. The revised standard states that transactions with owners must be separated from other transactions resulting in a change in the value of the company's assets and liabilities. As the Group has not previously reported any nonowner transactions in equity, the only changes required in Fabege's financial reporting under the revised standard refer to the naming of the consolidated balance sheet, profit and loss account, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement. These reports are now called: Statement of financial position, Statement of comprehensive income, Statement of changes in equity and Statement of cash flows.

IAS 23, which relates to borrowing costs, applies from January 1, 2009. Fabege currently capitalises borrowing costs that are attributable to the purchase, construction or production of an asset that takes a significant amount of time to complete for its intended use or sale. IAS 40 has been revised in respect of investment properties so that projects in progress must now also be stated at fair value. This change has no significant impact on Fabege. In other respects, the Group has applied the same accounting principles and valuation methods as in the last annual report. The parent company prepares its accounts in accordance with RFR 2.2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and has applied the same accounting principles and valuation methods as in the last annual report.

In accordance with IFRS 8, segments are reported as viewed by management, i.e. broken down into two segments: Investment Properties and Project/Improvement Properties.

Rental income and property expenses as well as realised and unrealised changes in value including tax are directly attributable to properties in each segment (direct income and expenses). In cases where a property changes character during the year earnings attributable to the property will be allocated to either segment based on the period of time that the property belonged to the segment. Central administration and items in net financial items have been allocated to the segments in a standardised manner based on each segment's share of the total property value (indirect income and expenses). This applies also to tax that is not directly attributable to earnings from property management activities or sales.

Assets and liabilities are stated as at the balance sheet date and the property asset is directly attributable to the respective segments. Other assets and liabilities are allocated in a standardised manner based on their share of the property value.
