Chief executive's review

Every cloud has a silver lining!

"The IT crash in 2001 hit Stockholm harder than any other market, and the city has not yet fully recovered from the blow, despite several years of strong economic growth, with vacancy rates remaining around 10 per cent overall. Such a high rate of vacancy does not drive either rents or new builds. In fact, at the peak of the current economic cycle rents and new build activity in Stockholm were significantly lower than in previous peaks. Thanks to the IT crash, we can probably look forward to a more stable rental market in Stockholm – despite the weakening economy.

Fabege has implemented a plan to radically increase the concentration of its property business, and the majority of the company's properties are now concentrated to office locations that will remain attractive regardless of the strength of the overall economy. Our focus on improving the quality and efficiency of our property management business through a local presence and well contained property holdings is already having a positive impact on earnings and key figures, but the biggest gain, we expect, will become evident in the long term in the form of long and stable relationships with our customers.

Fabege is well equipped to weather the coming economic downturn. The turbulence in financial markets has not affected Fabege's ability to raise capital, and the company's access to finance remains stable. Falling market interest rates are already a reality, and we expect to see stable rental income going forward."

Christian Hermelin, VD Christian Hermelin, CEO

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 and develops existing properties, and project development plays a prominent role in the Group.

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

Overview of the third quarter

The market for commercial premises in Stockholm remained favourable in the third quarter. Demand for flexible and efficient office space was good and rents remained stable, although the market has become more cautious in the wake of the financial turbulence. Fabege's rental income continued to grow at a healthy pace during the quarter, increasing by 7 per cent year-onyear. The occupancy rate, at 93 per cent, was flat compared with the previous quarter and 2 percentage points higher than at the same time last year.

The profit after tax was SEK -272m (313). The profit includes unrealised changes in value relating to properties of SEK -453m (216). Property values were negatively affected by increased yield requirements, but these were partly offset by increased cash flows from properties (see also page 4). Deferred tax was

SEK 106m (-112), primarily due to elimination of deferred tax in connection with unrealised changes in the value of the property. The surplus ratio was 65 per cent (67%).

New lettings had a total contracted annual value of SEK 34m (128) while net lettings were SEK -8m (66). After adjusting for major project lettings, net lettings in investment properties were largely unchanged compared with the third quarter of last year. Renegotiations during the quarter resulted in an increase in annual rental income of SEK 4m.

The average interest rate in the loan portfolio increased by 49 basis points during the quarter to 5.11 per cent.

Net asset value per share at 30 September was SEK 73 (76) excluding deferred tax on the surplus value of the properties.

Revenues and earnings1)

Earnings after tax for the period January-September were SEK 251m (1,178). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 1.50 (6.39). The profit after financial items was SEK 62 m (1,390).

Rental income was SEK 1,674m (1,534) and net operating income SEK 1,084m (968). The increase in rental income was due to a net increase in properties and higher rents in the company's existing properties. For comparable properties, rental income increased by 5.5 per cent and net operating income by 6.8 per cent. Realised and unrealised changes in the value of properties were SEK 143m (207) and SEK -460m (610), respectively. Changes in the value of fixed income derivatives were SEK -45m (38). The net interest expense was SEK -603m (-444).

The recent rise in interest rates is reflected in Fabege's higher interest expense during the period.

Financing

Fabege, which receives funding from the big Nordic banks, has long-term credit lines with fixed terms and conditions and an average maturity of 4.5 years. The financial turbulence during the period has therefore not affected the company's access to capital, but higher market interest rates have had an impact on the net interest expense. The average interest rate increased by 0.83 percentage points during the period to 5.11 per cent at the end of September excluding expenses relating to undrawn committed lines of credit (5.12% inclusive). Fabege's strategy is to raise loans with short fixed-rate periods in order to reduce the interest expense over time. Expected future interest rate cuts will therefore rapidly feed through into lower interest expenses. Undrawn committed lines of credit were SEK 1,928m. Fabege's borrowing capacity is sufficient for the adopted investment programme. In the third quarter Fabege refinanced the Paradiset 29 project, which is part-owned by the Group.

Fabege has available long-term credit facilities covering outstanding certificates at any given time. Due to falling demand in the certificate market during the period, Fabege has shifted its borrowing to long-term credits. Outstanding certificates at 30 Septmeber were SEK 2,565m.

The total volume of loans as at 30 September included loans relating to projects in progress of SEK 743m, of which the interest, SEK 26m, has been capitalised.

The average fixed-rate period was 6 months (3 months), taking account of the effect of derivatives. Fabege's derivatives portfolio has a value of SEK 6,100m with maturities of up to 4.1 years. The portfolio had a positive impact of SEK 34m on the net interest expense for the period.

Financial position and net asset value

Shareholders' equity at the end of the period was SEK 10,646m (11,415) and the equity/assets ratio was 34 per cent (36%).

Equity per share was SEK 65 (67). Net asset value per share, excluding deferred tax on the surplus value of properties, was SEK 73 (76).

Fabege uses derivatives as a means of cutting costs, and the fixed-rate terms in the loan portfolio refer primarily to derivatives transactions.

Fabege's property portfolio and management

Fabege's business in property management and improvement and project development is highly concentrated to a small number of selected sub-markets in and around Stockholm. Stockholm's inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad are Fabege's main markets.

On 30 September Fabege owned 158 properties with a total rental value of SEK 2.4bn, a lettable floor area of 1.5m m2 and a carrying amount, including project properties, of SEK 30.2bn.

Commercial premises represented 97 per cent of the rental value and residential premises 3 per cent. The financial occupancy rate for the portfolio as a whole, including project properties, was 93 per cent (91%). For investment properties the occupancy rate was 95 per cent (95%).

New lettings totalled SEK 160m (256) during the period while net lettings were SEK 4m (133). Two major expected terminations in future project properties, totalling SEK 52m, had a significant impact on net lettings.

Rent levels in renegotiated contracts (64 contracts covering a total area of approx. 42,036 m2) increased by an average of 15 per cent.

Developments in Fabege's main markets

Demand for efficient and flexible office space in Stockholm remained good in the third quarter. The market has however become more cautious in the wake of the financial turmoil.

Stockholm City: the market remains stable, with strong demand. However, due to low vacancy levels, Fabege's portfolio of available office space is limited and concentrated to a small number of properties.

Other inner city sub-markets: on Kungsholmen and Södermalm the market situation is good. The eastern part of Kungsholmen is benefiting from its proximity to the central station and the renewal of the western part of Stockholm City. The western half of Kungsholmen is also experiencing a positive trend thanks to the redevelopment and renewal of the area. The market in Södermalm, where Fabege owns three properties, can be characterised as stable with low vacancy rates.

Solna: Fabege's main sub-markets in Solna are Arenastaden (by Solna Station) and Solna Business Park. Interest in establishing offices in Arenastaden is growing steadily. Construction on the new national arena, Swedbank Arena, and Scandinavia's largest shopping centre, Mall of Scandinavia, is scheduled to begin in spring in 2009 and is expected to be completed in 2012. Demand for offices in Solna Business Park remains strong, but Fabege's has little available space due to a high occupancy rate.

Hammarby Sjöstad: the market is still in the process of develop-

ment. The redevelopment and renewal of the former industrial area is gradually turning it into a more attractive location.

Changes in the property portfolio

During the period January-September 2008 Fabege acquired two properties for a total consideration of SEK 201m and sold 12 properties for SEK 1,957m. The sales resulted in a profit of SEK 143m before tax and SEK 311m after tax. The transactions during the period resulted in a further concentration of the portfolio to Fabege's priority sub-markets, which accounted for 92 per cent of the total value of the Group's properties at 30 September.

Changes in the value of properties

About 30 per cent of the properties were externally valued as at 30 September. The remaining properties have been valued internally based on the year-end valuations. The total market value at 30 September was SEK 30.2bn. Unrealised changes in the value of properties during the third quarter totalled SEK -453m (216). Negative changes in value refer to writedowns occasioned by increased yield requirements.

Although the average yield requirement has increased by 25

2The table refers to Fabege's property portfolio as at 30 September 2008. Income and expenses are reported as if the properties had been held during the whole period. The difference between reported net operating income, SEK 1,091m, and net operating income in the profit and loss account, SEK 1,084m, is explained by the fact that the 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–September 2008.

Distribution of book value/market value

basis points since year-end, the net effect on the value of the property portfolio is significantly less due to increases in value of properties thanks to improved cash flows. Fabege's project investments (see below) are forward-looking and are designed to reduce vacancy rates and raise rents in the portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and adding value.

Projects and investments

A total of SEK 1,391m (587) was invested in existing properties and projects. The investments referred to land, new builds, extensions and conversions. The largest investments refer to Paradiset 29 and Bocken 35,46.

During the period Lammet 17 and Läraren 13 were transferred to Fabege's property management portfolio following the completion of the projects. Lammet 17, where the largest tenant is Unionen, is a 6,800 m2 property in a strategic location between the central station and the commercial centre of Stockholm City. With two new tenants, Sveaskog and Tiger, the 6,800 m2 Läraren 13 property, which stands in an attractive location on the revamped Norra Bantorget, is now almost fully let.

Major projects (see also Projects in progress table)

Fabege's project in Bocken 35 and 46 at the corner of Lästmakargatan and Regeringsgatan in Stockholm City is proceeding according to plan and occupancy is scheduled for the forth quarter of 2009.

The Paradiset 29/Lindhagen project on Kungsholmen, which will comprise 36,200 m2 of retail space, offices and parking, is proceeding according to plan. Work on finding tenants for the office section was further intensified during the autumn. In the third quarter the property was certified as a GreenBuilding under the European Commission's GreenBuilding programme. This means the building meets the requirement of 25 per cent less energy use than is stipulated in building rules.

Päronet 8, a property in Solna Strand, is currently undergoing a complete internal renovation and redevelopment, and is expected to be ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2010. Following renegotiation of the lease, the property has been fully let to the Swedish Tax Agency.

In Tensta /Rinkeby the initiated phases will be completed but no new phases will be started.

Staff

At the end of the period 145 people (142) were employed in the Fabege Group.

* Operational occupancy rate, 27 Oct 2008.

The annual rent for the largest projects in progress can increase to SEK 220m (fully let) from SEK 77m currently as of 30 September 2008.

Parent company

Sales during the period were SEK 74m (78) and the earnings before appropriations and tax were SEK -314m (-152). Net investments in property, equipment and shares were SEK -129m (25). The parent company applies Recommendation RFR 2.1 Accounting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. (See also the profit and loss account on page 9.)

Share buyback programme

During the period Fabege bought back 6,184,451 shares for SEK 350m (average price SEK 56.66). Of these, 1,339,100 were bought back in the second quarter for SEK 58m (average price 43.63). At 30 September 2008 Fabege owned 4,669,400 treasury shares, representing 2.76 per cent of the total number of shares in the company.

The Nomination Committee for the 2009 AGM

In accordance with the resolutions passed at the 2008 AGM, the following Nomination Committee has been formed, based on the ownership at 31 August 2008 and known changes thereafter: Anders Silverbåge (Brinova Fastigheter AB), Peter Lindh (Maths O. Sundqvist), Per Ovrén (Investment AB Öresund) and Mikael Nordberg (Danske Capital). The Nomination Committee represents approximately 33 per cent of the votes in Fabege.

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 Dec 2006). At 30 September 2008 the total increase in taxable income is 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 filed appeals against them.

Fabege is also contesting the ruling of the Administrative Court of Appeal that we reported on in our 2007 Annual Report (see pages 40-41).

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

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 2007 Annual Report (page 46).

Properties are recognised 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 2007 Annual Report (page 47).

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 2007 Annual Report (page 63).

No significant changes in the company's risk assessments have been made since then.

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).

Events after the end of the reporting period

Åsa Bergström has also been appointed Executive Vice President of the company with effect from 4 November 2008. Åsa

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group has applied the same accounting principles and valuation methods as in the last annual report.

The parent company applies Recommendation RFR 2.1 Accounting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Review report

Introduction

We have conducted a review of the interim report of Fabege AB (publ) for the period from 1 January 2008 to 30 September 2008. This interim report being prepared and presented in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and Chef Executive Officer. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Orientation and scope of the review

We have conducted our review in accordance with the standard for review (SÖG) 2410 Review of interim financial information conducted by the company's elected auditor. A review consists of making enquiries, primarily to individuals responsible for financial and accounting issues, conducting an analytical review and taking other review measures. A review has a differing orientation and significantly less scope than the orientation and scope of an audit pursuant to RSS Swedish accounting standard and generally accepted auditing practice in other respects. The review measures taken in a review do not enable us to attain sufficient certainty for us to state that we are aware of all significant circumstances that would have been identified if an audit had been conducted. Accordingly, the stated conclusion of a review does not have the certainty of the stated conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, no circumstances have arisen that give me reason to consider that in essence, for the Group's part, the interim report has not been prepared pursuant to IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, for the Parent Company's part, pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Paradiset 29 – Fabege's first property to be granted GreenBuilding status

In the third quarter of 2008 Fabege's Lindhagen project in its Paradiset 29 property next to the Essingeleden flyover in western Kungsholmen was certified under the European Commission's GreenBuilding programme, which is aimed at promoting energy-saving measures for commercial properties. Paradiset 29 was granted GreenBuilding status because it meets the requirement that new buildings use 25 per cent less energy than required by building regulations.
