Castellum – on the offense 2015!

  • 2015 was a particularly proactive year for Castellum. The process of change comprised several parallel processes:
  • Geographic concentration of the real estate portfolio
  • Several properties with higher development potential
  • The initiation of a cost efficiency program
  • Stronger-than-ever sustainability focus
  • A reinforced and more efficient organization

High investment rate

Rather many real estate transactions were completed, and it can be complex to overview them as a whole. Let me therefore briefly summarize the significance of the strategic shifts implemented over the last fifteen months. Sales amounted to SEK 4 billion and acquisitions – our own important projects excluded – totalled SEK 4.6 billion.

Contributing to these figures, we're counting divestments in two regions of Eastern Götaland (Värnamo/Växjö) and an investment-consuming mall in Malmö, as well as an area with high vacancy rates in northern Stockholm. Properties with weaker development potential were replaced by properties in strong growth areas: Hornsberg, Kungsholmen and Hagastaden in Stockholm; city-centre dominance in Norrköping and Linköping; a bridgehead location in the fastgrowing Hyllie district of Malmö and property increases in Copenhagen, as well as a more consolidated presence in Gothenburg's Lindholmen. A number of the transactions were complex, and

some will be determined in several stages. For example, the acquisition of 50% of the shares in Ståhls in Norrköping and Linköping includes an option to acquire the remaining portion in 2016. Current sales figures are reported for the sale of future residential building rights in Stockholm. However, these transactions often contain an earnout that will considerably raise the buyer's final purchase price when local zoning plans become finalized.

Strong finances

In 2015, total net investments amounted to SEKm 2,413 – including our own projects – and properties totalling SEKm 1,140 were sold. We managed this large-scale shift with only a slight decline in growth during the first three quarters, due to the large sales toward the end of 2014. However, strong growth resumed (+13%) in the last quarter. Moreover, the loan-to-value ratio remained at an unchanged low level, 49%.

Great demand in the real estate market facilitated Castellum's portfolio restructuring and led to value adjustments during the year, totalling SEKm 1,837. Of this, SEKm 1,019 referred to the fourth quarter, and contributed to an increase in the longterm net asset value of 13% – to SEK 129.

During the past year, we've extended existing loan commitments, including securing interest margins, for a total SEK 18 billion. On the bond market SEK 3.5 billion were issued, and the outstanding total volume at year end was SEK 6.5 billion.

Increased cost efficiency

The efficiency program initiated in 2015 gives results. In its first year, the program has already reduced costs by SEKm 10, primarily through increased coordination of purchases, a changed billing basis and common follow-up procedures. This ongoing program will continue through 2016 and is estimated to save approx. SEKm 30, thanks to measures already taken, as well as further cost savings and efficiency improvements.

Sustainability efforts rewarded

During the past year, Castellum was awarded the World Green Building Council's top distinction European Leadership award. The Business Leadership prize is awarded annually to the construction and real estate company that leads sustainable development in Europe. In 2015, Castellum was also presented with GRESB's highest Green Star rating and ranks among the best real estate companies in the world for the CDP's (Carbon Disclosure Program) annual rankings.

These are important international recognitions of Castellum's long-term sustainability efforts. The path taken toward ambitious sustainability goals will continue to include a strong commitment to everyday quality-of-life issues. During the year for example, 75 adolescents and young adults – from diverse cultural backgrounds – worked as apprentices or held other trainee positions at Castellum, for an introduction to working life.

A changed world – changed approaches and processes The world has changed. Previous self-evident "truths" about business processes, or the infrastructure and design of premises have had to be reassessed. It's a challenge for a real estate company that every building has to be designed for long-term existence, while keeping in harmony with prevailing customer requirements. In order for Castellum to continue to be an up-to-date and agile corporation, continuous adaptation to new internal and external conditions is required. Together, we will seize opportunities to work even more efficiently, flexibly and locally through shared resources. Closer than ever to our customers.

Castellum looks ahead: Tomorrow's challenges and opportunities will be met through changed work procedures, organizational adjustments and new support processes. After all of the major transactions, I anticipate that Castellum's real estate projects will increase and net investments will remain high. It's my personal belief and expectation that property management income growth in 2016 will be in line with our objective of 10% – with a continued focus on cash flow, at low financial risk. Thus, the prospects for continued competitive dividend growth are favourable.

Castellum's overall objective is an annual growth in cash flow, i.e. income from property management per share, of at least 10%

During 2015, Castellum has had a high portfolio turnover in order to increase the quality and density of the portfolio

A major restructuring transformation began in the autumn of 2014. Castellum's largest major revamp of the portfolio since the IPO in 1997.

Castellum's new portfolio disposition, which has taken place over slightly more than a year, can be summarized in numbers as follows:

  • Castellum sold properties for SEK 4 billion.
  • Castellum acquired properties for SEK 4.6 billion, excluding CORHEI Fastighets AB (previously Ståhls).

In October 2014, the Hansa mall in central Malmö was sold for just over SEKm 600. This was the first of several major transactions that took place in the following 15 months. A month later, the entire real estate portfolio in Värnamo and Växjö was sold in a transaction of over SEK 1.9 billion.

In late January, Castellum's real estate portfolio in Copenhagen was doubled in a transaction totalling SEKm 700, which also included a property in Marievik near downtown Stockholm.

Presence in Sweden's ten largest cities

In mid-April, Castellum announced entry into a new market, Norrköping, through the acquisition of 50% of the shares in CORHEI Fastighets AB, with an underlying property value of approx. SEK 2 billion. The transaction included both an establishment in central Linköping and four centrally located corner properties in Örebro.

Norrköping and Linköping, collectively hosting approx. 285,000 inhabitants, are being referred to as the fourth big-city region. The region is undergoing significant change, as traditional industries take up increasingly less space, and service industries take over. Growth prospects will increase as the SEK 30 billion project Ostlänken – the 150 km long railway for high-speed trains between Linköping and Stockholm – will start in 2017. Eleven years later, when it is completed, people will be able to travel from Linköping to Stockholm in an hour, a time saving of 40 minutes, and Linköping/ Norrköping will become part of Stockholm's labour-market region. The enlarged labour-market region will provide more skilled jobs in an increasingly creative environment that attracts talent, both for work and higher education. The region will simply become more attractive and the conditions for economic growth will improve.

Moreover, Castellum's first establishment in the Hyllie city district of southern Malmö in the autumn of 2015 means that the company will come into possession of an upscale office building in April, 2016. The investment amounted to just over SEKm 300.

Concentration in Stockholm

In Stockholm, there is ongoing concentration on selected market segments. In late September, Castellum acquired a property on Kungsholmen for just over SEKm 400, and in November, the entire portfolio in Kista and Akalla was sold for more than SEKm 800. On December 10, Castellum acquired an office property in Hagastaden – the emerging area around the Nya Karolinska university hospital in Solna, where research and business meet. The purchase price amounts to SEK 1.6 billion, with access in the first quarter of 2017 – and virtually all units are already leased. In connection with this acquisition, an office property in Solna was sold for SEKm 280.

Together, these five markets represent 65% of the Swedish population.

Market comments

Swedish economy

Sweden, with over 9.8 million inhabitants, is a country with an open and strong economy. This is primarily due to a stable and transparent business climate, high education levels, healthy public finances and high productivity. Sweden has long and extensive experience in international trade and international relations. This is evident from its relatively large share of world-leading corporations. The high export dependency of Swedish industry contributes to the fact that, historically, Sweden has shown the strong adaptability required to restructure the economy during economic changes.

The Swedish economy continued to perform well with a strong GDP growth that is expected to continue in 2016. Growth is mainly driven by investments and domestic private consumption. Higher public spending, as a result of the increase in asylum seekers, is also expected to contribute to GDP growth. The export of services has developed rapidly, while the recovery for the export of goods continues to go slowly. Geopolitical turmoil continues to dampen the growth rate – especially for industry. However, levels for construction and infrastructure investments in Sweden demonstrate high activity, whereas investments in the industrial sector have dampened.

The labour market has been positively affected by the stronger economy. Labour shortages are expected for several groups, primarily within the construction and public sectors. However, despite the increase in employment, the unemployment rate is expected to be only marginally affected. Inflation is expected to remain low due to lower commodity prices and low inflation in the outside world, coupled with limited wage growth. Development of the krona exchange rate plays a key role for inflation in Sweden, where a stronger krona will dampen inflation.

Interest and credit markets

In 2015, the Riksbank focused on an inflation target of 2%, pursued an expansionary monetary policy and made historic decisions. The repo

Source: National Institute of Economic Research in Sweden rate has remained unchanged since July, when it was lowered to -0.35%, even if the repo-rate path has been revised downwards. During the year, the Riksbank purchased government bonds and announced further purchases during the first half of 2016. The repo-rate path indicates that a slight lowering of the repo rate is possible in the near future, and the tone hardened somewhat concerning whether or not to take other measures in December (when the repo rate was left unchanged). The repo rate is not expected to begin rising slowly until 2017. The 3-month STIBOR rate moved quickly downward in the spring, but proceeded more stably, albeit slightly downward, for the rest of the year. This lasted until year-end, when the STIBOR rate rapidly returned to summer levels.

The spread between short- and long-term interest rates increased during the year, but long-term interest rates remained historically low. Development was primarily driven by falling short-term interest rates, but also by slightly higher longterm interest rates.

Availability of bank financing and financing in the capital market is considered favourable. During early 2015, credit margins dropped in the capital market but turned upward considerably in the second half of the year. Credit margins for bank financing are also considered to have increased during the autumn, albeit to a lesser extent.

European real estate market

The transaction volume for the European real estate market totalled approx. EUR 263 billion (223), which is an increase of 18% compared with the previous year. In 2015, Great Britain accounted for the highest transaction volume, corresponding to EUR 88 billion (79), followed by Germany's EUR 53 billion (40).

The Swedish transaction market represented approx. 5% (7%) of the European volume, and this translated into the fourth largest turnover in Europe. At year end, Castellum was the 20nd largest listed real estate company in the European real estate market in terms of market capitalization.

Swedish real estate market

The Swedish real estate market comprises apartment buildings and industrial properties for a total tax assessment value of around SEK 2,900 billion. This corresponds to a market value of approx. SEK 3,900 billion. However, the real estate portfolio also includes properties that are not quite part of the commercial real estate portfolio. This includes certain customized buildings for industrial operations, as well as apartment buildings owned by housing cooperatives. Castellum is considered one of Sweden's largest real estate owners of commercial properties and owns 1-2% of Sweden's commercial real estate portfolio. In all, Swedish listed real estate companies own about 11% of the commercial real estate portfolio in Sweden.

In addition to the listed companies, the largest real estate owners in Sweden are public corporations as well as both Swedish and foreign institutional investors. Furthermore, Sweden contains a vast number of smaller real estate owners such as real-estate and construction companies, users and individuals.

The Swedish property market continued during 2015 to be attractive all over the country and for all segments – both for domestic and international players. During the year, the strong demand resulted in lower required yield – with higher property prices as a consequence. Transaction volumes for

2015 amounted to SEK 145 billion – a historically high level – even if turnover for 2014 reached SEK 160 billion. There was a strong interest for office and retail properties as well as for warehouse and logistics properties, and commercial properties accounted for approx. 77% (76%) of the total transaction volume.

Foreign buyers accounted for 27% (17%) of the purchase volume, which could be observed in several major transactions regarding office, commercial and logistics facilities.

Swedish rental market

During the year, the rental market continued to strengthen, due to high demand and low new construction volumes. The strongest office markets are in central locations, showing low volumes of new construction and low vacancy rates – thus creating conditions for rent increases. The Öresund region continued to have a higher proportion of newly built office space than the rest of Sweden, and this affected both rental development and vacancies. The logistics market was distinctly variable, and demand depended on location as well as design. The strongest logistics locations became stronger, and customer requirements changed, based on technological development and increasing e-commerce. Properly designed buildings in sought-after locations became very attractive.

Castellum's markets

Sweden can be divided into a number of local labor markets where each market has different development strength. A local labor market is characterized by that it can function independently concerning work and commuting. Some markets are due to their size and business structure less dependent to changes in the world around than others and have their own inherent power to grow, where the size provides economies of scale. Sweden is currently in an strong urbanization trend where growth is concentrated in the longterm to medium-sized and larger regions, while the number of regions is reduced.

The three major urban regions in Sweden have the greatest development potential, primarily explained by a larger population, relative to other parts of the country. This in turn creates a larger labor market, a diversified industrial structure, research opportunities and greater variety of shopping, entertainment and culture. Successful regions are also characterized by tolerance. The most attractive cities offer opportunities for quality education in universities and colleges. They embrace diversity and openness. Cities grow and jobs are created where talents are developed and thrive.

The map shows the Swedish local labour markets, where dark blue indicates the local labour markets showing the highest increase of total wages during 2006-2015 in absolute figures, and light blue the lowest. The local labour markets where Castellum operates are indicated.

"The average valuation yield over time for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects, undeveloped land and building rights, can be calculated to 6.5%."

The change in value during the year amounted to SEKm 1,837 (344), corresponding to 4.6%. The increase in value consisted mainly of SEKm 255 attributable to acquisitions, SEKm 203 attributable to project profits and SEKm 1,331 primarily due to reduced yield requirements. In addition, property sales resulted in a value change of SEKm 48. Net sales price amounted to SEKm 1,140 after deduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs totalling SEKm 57. Hence the underlying property value, which amounted to SEKm 1,197, exceeded the last valuation of SEKm 1,092 by SEKm 105.

Rental income

Group's rental income amounted to SEKm 3,299 (3,318). For office and retail properties, the average contracted rental level, including charged heating, cooling and property tax, amounted to SEK 1,332 per sq.m. (1,295), whereas for warehouse and industrial properties, it amounted to SEK 804 per sq.m. (791). Rental levels, which are considered to be in line with the market, have in a comparable portfolio increased by 1% compared with previous year, which mainly is an effect from indexation and can be compared with the usual industry index clause (October to October), which was –0.1% in 2015. Castellum's higher indexation is due to the Groups focus on index clauses with

minimum upward adjustment in the contract portfolio, which offers protection against low inflation and deflation. The average economic occupancy rate was 90.3% (88,7%). The total rental value for vacant premises on yearly basis amounted to approx. SEKm 392 (417).

The rental income for the period includes a lump sum of SEKm 8 (10) as a result of early termination of leases.

Gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the year was SEKm 316 (304), of which SEKm 55 (55) were leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 298 (246), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 11 Mkr (12) and 18 Mkr (36) were notice of termination with more than 18 months remaining length of contract. Hence net leasing for the year was SEKm 18 (58). The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income thereof is estimated to be between 9-18 months. Net leasing has been different in Castellum's various regions, as shown below.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEKm 1,074 (1,096), corresponding to SEK 316 per sq.m. (307). The costs includes SEKm 5 in transaction cost related to the acquisition of 50% of the shares of CORHEI Fastighets AB (former Ståhls). Consumption for heating during the year has been calculated to 88% (86%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics.

Rental losses, i.e. charged not paid rents with the risk of loss, amounted to SEKm 6 (9), corresponding to 0.2% (0.3%) of rental income.

Central administrative expenses

Central administrative expenses totalled SEKm 113 (108). This includes costs for a profit-and-share-price related incentive plan for 10 persons in executive management of SEKm 11 (15).

Income from joint venture

Income from joint venture amounted to SEKm 21 (–) and refers to Castellum's 50% share of the income in CORHEI Fastighets AB (former Ståhls). For more information, see the section Joint venture on page 19.

Of this income, SEKm 23 refers to income from property management, SEKm 3 to unrealized changes in property value and SEKm –5 to tax.

Net interest

Net interest items were SEKm –602 (–664). The average interest rate level was 3.0% (3.3%). Net financial income was positively affected by approx. SEKm 70 due to the average interest rate level decrease by 0.3%-units.

Tax

The nominal corporate tax rate in Sweden is 22%. Due to the possibility to deduct depreciation and reconstructions for tax purposes, and to utilize tax loss carry forwards, the paid tax is low. Paid tax occurs since a few subsidiaries have no possibilities to group contributions for tax purpose.

Remaining tax loss carryforwards can be calculated to SEKm 809 (1,193). Fair values for the properties exceed their fiscal value by SEKm 22,239 (18,602) of which SEKm 1,893 (991) relates to the acquisition of properties accounted for as asset acquisitions. As deferred tax liability, a full nominal 22% tax of the net difference is reported, reduced by the deferred tax relating to asset acquisitions, i.e., SEKm 4,299 (3,612). Castellum has no current tax disputes.

Income over time

Income from property management over the past 10 years shows stable development and has grown by an average of 6% per year. Property values have been volatile over the past 10 years with average growth of 1.1% per year which is in line with inflation.

"Castellum's income from property management over the past 10 years shows stable development and has grown by an average of 6% per year."

The table above relates to the properties owned by Castellum at the end of the year and reflects the income and costs of the properties as if they had been owned during the whole year. The discrepancy between the net operating income of SEKm 2,240 accounted for above and the net operating income of SEKm 2,225 in the income statement is explained by the deduction of the net operating income of SEKm 55 on properties sold during the year, as well as the adjustment of the net operating income of SEKm 70 on properties acquired/completed during the year, which are recalculated as if they had been owned or completed during the whole year.

Joint venture

In the second quarter of 2015, Castellum AB (publ) closed a deal with Heimstaden AB (publ) which meant that Castellum, through the subsidiary Corallen, acquired 50% of the shares in CORHEI Fastighets AB (former Ståhls), corresponding to an investment of SEKm 505. Access was gained at month-end, May/June 2015. The agreement gives Castellum an option to purchase the remaining 50% to market value, no earlier than 18 months after the access.

The investment has contributed SEKm 21 to Castellum's results during this period. The carrying value of this investment thus totalled SEKm 526 as of December 31, 2015 and is accounted for according to the equity method.

The real estate portfolio amounted to SEKm

Active property development requires investments

Castellum operates on a long-term basis and the strategy for growth includes constant improvement and development of the real estate portfolio through new constructions, reconstructions and extensions – as well as acquisitions.

The investments are made in order to improve cash flow and increase the value of the properties. New development projects are added on an ongoing basis through the acquisition of properties with development potential and unutilized building rights.

In order to achieve the overall growth objective of 10%, Castellum needs to invest. In 2015, Castellum had a high level of activity in the portfolio and built and acquired properties for SEK 3.5 billion and sold for SEK 1.1 billion.

Building Rights and Potential Development Projects

Part of Castellum's strategy is to build new premises. In order to offer the customer new premises with the shortest possible time for moving in, it is a competitive advantage to own building rights in attractive locations with approved plans.

Castellum has approx. 788,000 sq.m. unutilized building rights. For a number of the unutilized building rights there are finalized project plans which can be started relatively promptly.

Unutilized building rights are valued at SEKm 1,352 (1,184) corresponding to approx. SEK 1,700 (1,500) per sq.m. on average. Of the building rights approx. 360,000 sq.m. corresponding to approx. SEKm 883 (625) are reported as development projects and undeveloped land. The remaining are reported among office/retail and warehouse/industrial properties since they are addititions to already developed properties.

The strong urbanization trend in Sweden is leading to strong population growth in major city regions. This, in combination with a lack of housing, imposes the need for new constructions and, hence, for the conversion of primarily older office and industrial areas into residential space. This process is especially prevalent in Stockholm, where population growth and demand are strong and the housing shortage is substantial, but also occurs in Gothenburg. Moreover, the conversion from commercial activities to residential space reflects an overall urban development towards higher density urban construction and a more highly diversified city mix.

In submarkets where conversions are underway or are expected to occur, a leased commercial property can have a higher value as a residential building-right than as a commercial property. This affects property value. The size of the value impact depends on several factors. The most significant of these is the zoning development plan, i.e. the probability for future development, the permitted building-rights volume and the development timeframe.

In Castellum submarkets, mainly Bromma/ Mariehäll and Johanneshov in Stockholm, there is an ongoing process of plan changes which will lead to gradual conversion of older office and industrial premises into residential space. However, as the city grows, new areas are being added to the list of areas subject to conversion.

Eklandia Logistics Park in Gothenburg

Eklandia and four other players plan to jointly create a new logistics park in close proximity to the Port of Gothenburg: the Port of Gothenburg Logistics Park. The initiative is one of the largest of its kind in Sweden. The location near Scandinavia's largest port, featuring key industries and access to good infrastructure, is perfectly suited for efficient warehouse and logistics operations. The allocated land allows for new constructions of up to 70,000 sq.m.

Kungspassagen in Uppsala

Aspholmen Fastigheter is constructing the Kungspassagen office building in one of the city's best locations, close to both the travel centre and the city's entire range of restaurants, services and shopping.

Sustainability is a requirement for economic growth

Castellum is one of the largest players in the industry, but survivability is based on continuous development of the company. Sustainability activities are about conducting business in a responsible manner and creating sustainable solutions from economic and ecological, as well as social perspectives.

Sustainability efforts have always been a natural part of Castellum operations. As a long-term player and community builder, it has been natural to contribute in various ways to the development of a sustainable society. Sustainability is usually divided into three different dimensions: ecological, social and economic sustainability.

For Castellum, ecological sustainability means utilizing resources such as energy and water as wisely and efficiently as possible. For our core business activities, it also means that new constructions as well as extensions and reconstructions are built according to high environmental standards.

Social sustainability means Castellum is actively committed to the communities and regions in which we operate, as well as cooperating with customers, municipalities and other partners. This also means that Castellum collaborates with schools and universities and offers young people apprenticeships and summer jobs. And, naturally, we look out for – and care for – Castellum employees.

Castellum's sense of responsibility also extends to customers and shareholders, and the long-term sustainability strategy provides a natural foundation for financially sustainable growth.

Organization and governance of sustainability efforts

Our sustainability efforts permeate all operations and they are controlled via a management system comprising a common policy, guidelines, overall measurable objectives and detailed action plans. The aim of this work is to monitor, document, evaluate and improve Castellum's sustainability activities. Activities are conducted locally by each subsidiary, followed up annually and regularly reported to Executive Group Management. Castellum has designated a Sustainability Coordinator, who works for the Group as a whole. Castellum's Board of Directors annually adopts the sustainability policy an Code of Conducts as well as continuously

discussing and following up various efforts. Castellum's CEO is ultimately responsible for the entire sustainability file.

Further, our sustainability efforts are regularly audited by an external party: For example, through audits in compliance with the Environmental Diploma, based on the environmental management systems ISO 14001 and EMAS. A joint sustainability group develops activities, shares experiences and monitors relevant changes in the global environment.

Castellum's sustainability efforts require committed and skilled employees; further training in sustainability issues is therefore offered on a regular basis. In 2015, a joint sustainability course was conducted for all Group employees, and training for new employees is held on an ongoing basis.

Presentation of Castellum's sustainability efforts

Castellum is now presenting sustainability activities in accordance with GRI guidelines for the third year in a row. It has been based on GRI G4, Core level, since 2014, and the GRI index can be found on page 142.

Stakeholder dialogue

To develop and improve operations, Castellum has identified and analyzed stakeholder expectations of our business. In 2014, stakeholder dialogues were conducted with customers, Executive Group Management, employees and the Board of Directors to discuss which sustainability issues they considered most important for Castellum.

Results from these stakeholder dialogues, combined with the company's own evaluation of operations, mean that Castellum focuses on the following areas:

  • Efficient use of resources
  • Sustainable real estate portfolio
  • Sustainable collaboration

- Social commitment and responsibility

The school project that won a collaboration prize

A long-term cooperation, important for both parties. This best describes Eklandia's twelve-year long relationship with the Brunnsboskolan lower secondary school on the island of Hisingen in Gothenburg. The idea is that both the school and the business community benefit from working together. The project has received the Utmärkelsen collaboration prize. "We want to give pupils an insight into how the workplace works. As one of Gothenburg's largest real estate companies, it's natural for us to take social responsibility", says Cecilia Buttwill, Communications Manager at Eklandia. "We see that both parties benefit from this".

From apprentice to a permanent job

Waleed Mahdi, now Facility Manager at Harry Sjögren AB, Gothenburg, applied for and landed an apprenticeship position in 2013 – in competition with 35 other candidates. After three months, he took on a probationary position, and has now been a permanent employee for almost two years. "I have a fun job, and we're a great gang helping each other out", says Waleed. "No one day is like another: It's about being available, providing quick service and solving problems. In my job, there's lots of room for taking responsibility and coming up with resourceful solutions that make our customers happy."

The sunny shop window in Mölndal

A shop window that attracts interest as it demonstrates how to produce – as well as how to conduct research on – sustainable electricity. This is an important part of Swerea IVF's Mölndal operations. Here, the energy utilized in the building is generated by solar cells on the roof, while Swerea IVF continues to further advance their photovoltaic technology. Mölndal Energi joins Castellum via Harry Sjögren AB, to participate in this collaboration project. "One purpose is to stimulate existing and new tenants to integrate environmental priorities into their daily operations – and view this as a competitive advantage", says Jens Wallén, Sustainability Manager at Harry Sjögren.

The first real estate company in Fossil-Free Sweden

Castellum is the first real estate company to join Fossil-Free Sweden – the government initiative launched in connection with the UN climate change conference in Paris in December, 2015. A primary aim is to highlight the ambitious environmental activities carried out in Swedish companies with the goal of making Sweden one of the world's first fossil-free countries. "This initiative is in line with Castellum's ambitions in the area of sustainability", says Filip Elland, the Group's Sustainability Coordinator. "One of our goals is that 90% of all the energy used in the Group should be renewable by 2017; another that our vehicle fleet should be independent of fossil fuels by 2020."

Everyday skimping generates energy gains Since the mid-1990s, Castellum has worked with energy efficiency. It is continuous and systematic work – regular monitoring and action-taking. "We can summarize this as everyday skimping – constantly thinking about these issues and carrying them with us", says Filip Elland, Sustainability Manager at Castellum. "It leads to improved performance on the properties as well as a healthy indoor climate for our customers."

Castellum has had a common Group goal since 2007, and since then, energy consumption has decreased by 28%.

Castellum's role in society

HELENA AGBLAD HR APPRENTICE AT CASTELLUM AB, 2015

"I came to Castellum straight after my three-year studies program in Human Resource Management and Labour Relations. While studying, I longed to see and understand how a company works in reality.

Apart from what I'd learned in a number of summer jobs, it felt important to finally get this first longer experience of a company organization and how the business is constructed. I received an overview that stretched over both the parent company and its subsidiaries, and obtained valuable experiences that I'll benefit from far into the future.

The reason I chose this education was my interest in organizational issues, combined with my basic values: a belief that people's attitudes and actions make a difference. During my time at the company, I received great support from my mentor at Castellum – which I appreciated."

Generated and distributed economic value Value generated according to GRI-indicator G4-EC1

Creating long-term value

As a real estate owner, Castellum is a long-term player focusing on profitability at low risk and financial strength. Castellum contributes to urban development in the communities wherein the Group operates and provides efficient property management. This creates value for both customers and employees and reduces costs as well as environmental impact.

Castellum's strategy for developing and adding value to its real estate portfolio at low financial risk provides the basis for distributing a competitive dividend to shareholders.

Taxes constitute an important issue for the real estate industry and include income tax as well as VAT, property taxes, withholding taxes, payroll taxes etc. Castellum's main approach is that accurate taxes are to be paid in accordance with current legislation.

A compliance officer monitors that laws and regulations are complied with, and reports directly to the Board of Directors' Audit and Finance Committee.

Development of our growth regions

Castellum collaborates through over 60 networks and business associations to develop all regions that host our operations.

We also cooperate continuously with other parties to push development, share knowledge about new technologies and exchange experiences. Examples of networking partners include the EPRA Sustainability Committee, The Energy Agency's Beställargrupp för lokaler (BELOK), Sweden Green Building Council, energy companies, local sanitation companies and Chalmers. Harry Sjögren collaborates with Swerea in Mölndal to develop photovoltaic plants.

During 2015, Castellum's premises in several locations were used as meeting places, workplaces or storage to help with the refugee crisis.

Castellum's sponsorship and support are focused on promoting young people's education and health. For example, Castellum sponsors the Science Festival, the Ung Företagsamhet organization, Vårstafetten and local sports clubs. Further, Castellum contributes directly to the City Mission, Rescue Mission, Polstjärna and the Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Youth support

Castellum works proactively through direct employee involvement in various social issues to offer young people work experience. In 2015, a total of 75 young people worked at Castellum as vacation workers, apprentices, trainees, and

through mentorship and/or thesis writing. Eleven of the young people were apprentices.

We participated in ongoing collaborations with universities, colleges and elementary schools at several locations regarding thesis writing and mentorship – including the supervision of three Master's theses.

There is also direct collaboration through Eklandia, which follows a lower-secondary school class during a prolonged period, and collaboration via CMB (Centre for Management of the Built Environment) at Chalmers in Gothenburg.

Our suppliers

There are clear sustainability requirements for new constructions and extensions, as well as for the purchase of goods and services. For the most part, Castellum hires local suppliers – where heating, cooling, water and electricity suppliers account for a large share of the hired suppliers.

For larger purchases and procurements, suppliers and contractors are audited for such sustainability factors as: material-content, quality and work environment. Although requirements are not identical for all procurements, there are general, overall demands regarding the Environmental Management System, Environmental manager and choice of sustainable building materials, as well as for environmental and waste-management plans.

Requirements for new constructions and major reconstructions follow the regulations of one of the environmental classification systems such as Miljöbyggnad, EU Green Building or BREEAM. For each major procurement, there are specific administrative regulations as well as work environment requirements.

During 2015, a Group-wide Code of Conduct for suppliers and partners was drawn up.

Work environment

Castellum protects and supports both employees and suppliers, and it is our responsibility to see that no one is hurt, either physically or mentally, due to workplace activities.

In 2015, all management teams of the Group underwent detailed health and safety training.

Legal requirements are firmly established within the Castellum Group, and work-environment efforts form a continuous process with constant potential for improvement.

Customers

Key success factors include the organization's knowledge and feel for local markets. With six independent subsidiaries, Castellum makes business decisions directly, within local markets. We can thus offer customers shorter decision-making processes, quicker responses and smoother-running business activities. In addition, customers can enjoy the increased security provided by a large national corporation.

High-quality and long-term customer relations are a prerequisite for creating growth at Castellum and the work is regularly followed up in customer questionnaires. A high proportion of the respondents, nearly 9 of 10, replys that they are willing to lease from Castellum again and gladly recommend Castellum as a landlord to others.

Beeing close to the customer

Castellum's organization, comprised of locally based subsidiaries, provides a close relationship to the customer and a short decision-making process. Castellum employees work close to the market, which means natural access to fresh information about customers' current and future operations. Customers can thereby be offered premises suited to their needs and benefit from optimal personal service and quick answers.

Castellum, as one of the largest real estate owners on local markets co-operate with municipalities and local networks, such as corporate associations, to be an active urban developer that creates attractive work environments for the customers.

Satisfied customers

It is vital that Castellum meets customer expectations. To evaluate and follow up on our efforts, an external customer survey is carried out annually: the Satisfied Customer Index. The survey shows general customer opinion about Castellum as well as how well Castellum performs in the areas of: service, business relationships, indoor premises, property condition, environmental questions and information.

The survey carried out in 2015 – which included offices, retail, warehouses and industry – comprised a majority of Castellum's major customers. The survey continues to show consistently high marks for Castellum, with a weighted index of 80 out of 100. This is higher than the industry

BJÖRN PELLNOR FACILITY MANAGER AT COR ALLEN IN JÖNKÖPING

"It's my job to represent the company's image to the outside world every day. It means I have to build and nurture relationships. I try to look at the job from a customer perspective, to be there for them, and be able to help – quickly. A satisfied customer is also a loyal customer, and in Jönköping we increased our Customer Satisfaction Index sharply in the latest survey. It felt really amazing!"

RENTAL AND RENEGOTIATION PROCESS

Castellum provides premises for growing Swedish business and holds approx. 4,500 contracts, corresponding to a rental income of approx. SEKm 3,000. 21-23% of the leases mature each year. Approx. 11% are prolonged on unchanged terms, approx. 7% are given notice by the customer, 2% are given notice for renegotiation by the customer and 1% are given notice for renegotiation by Castellum.

During 2015, the organization signed 668 leases, with a total annual value of SEKm 316. 78% came from Castellum's own contacts.

NKI 80

The result of our Satisfied Customer Index surveys increased again. It's proof that our daily cooperation with customers works for us.

benchmark of 75. Service willingness shows the highest index and includes parameters such as personal attention, service and availability.

A significant portion of the customers surveyed, 88%, reply that they are willing to lease from Castellum again and gladly recommend Castellum as a landlord to others.

Castellum's customers reflect Swedish business life

Castellum has balanced risk distribution in the commercial contracts regarding geography, type of premises, size, length of contracts and customer industry. This means that Castellum's commercial contracts reflect Swedish trade and industry, as well as the Swedish economy, generally.

Castellum has approx. 4,500 commercial contracts and the single largest contract accounts for approx. 2% of Castellum's total rental income.

Leasing activity

Castellum enjoys high leasing activity. During 2015, the Group signed 668 new leases with a total annual value of SEKm 316. Robust leasing activities indicate the importance of taking care of customers and networks. Of the newly signed leases, 78% came from Castellum's own networks, recommendations or existing customer expansions, while 12% originated from websites and the remaining 10% came through agents.

Commercial leases

Commercial leases are generally signed for 3-5 years, with a 9-month notice period, and are paid quarterly in advance. The rental level can change when the lease in question is due for renegotiation.

Leases usually include a base-rent - i.e. the rent agreed upon when signing the contract - and an index clause that provides for an annual adjustment of the rent: either as a certain percentage of previous year's inflation or as a minimum upward adjustment of a set percentage.

A lease may also contain an addendum for the tenant's share of the property's total heating, cooling and property-tax costs.

Sustainability goes hand in hand with longterm growth and Castellum offers both current as well as new customer green leases which means that both parties collaborate on issues such as energy efficiency and indoor environment, choice of building material and source-separation of waste. The aim is to reduce environmental impact at the premises. 24 new green leases were signed during 2015 and Castellum has 62 green leases in total.

A decentralized and small-scale organization infers deep local knowledge and interaction

Castellum's local presence creates business value through familiarity with customer operations and requirements, as well as valuable knowledge of the local real estate and rental markets, market changes and business opportunities. The decentralized organization provides a short decision-making process and creates an active organization.

Employees are offered challenging tasks via the flat organization, where competence development and experience exchanges are considered key success factors.

There is a clear correlation between satisfied employees, satisfied customers and company growth.

Castellum operates as one of the largest real estate companies, while remaining equipped to act as close to the market as the smallest

Castellum's organization consists of six subsidiaries. The subsidiary organizations are not identical, but principally consist of a Managing Director, 2-4 market areas and a number of business developers, along with 4-8 employees within finance and administration. Each market area employs one property manager with one assistant, one person working with leasing and 3-9 facility managers. Everyone has customer contact.

Castellum's subsidiaries operate under their own names, which represent strong brands in each submarket. During 2015, Castellum introduced a new common visual identity to clarify and demonstrate the common strengths and local power of Sweden's growth regions.

Property management is mainly carried out by Group-employed personnel and in cases where external services are purchased, high demands are placed on suppliers in terms of quality, customer contact, service and environmental awareness.

Measuring and comparing

Castellum is responsible for capital allocation and measures and compares subsidiary management efficiency and asset-value growth in the real estate portfolio. Castellum develops best practice for the Group. As a part of this, a business development manager was appointed during the year. The parent company takes active part in operations through involvement in subsidiary Boards.

Castellum's operations are controlled by rules for decision making and work allocation, policies and instructions. Policies are in place for finance and financial work, communication, insider, sustainability, Code of Conduct for employess and suppliers and partners and crisis management.

Parent company

The parent company, Castellum AB, is responsible for matters concerning the stock market (such as consolidated reports and stock-market information) and the credit market (such as funding and financial risk management) as well as overall IT/ IS strategies and personnel matters. Castellum AB has 24 employees (23).

The parent company is resposible for capital allocation and takes active part in operations through involvement in subsidiary Boards.

Cooperating and exchanging experiences

Within the Group there are ongoing common development efforts and experience exchanges between subsidiaries in order to make upgraded expertise available in the entire organization. The joint development groups provide opportunities for continued improvements, and the groups include participants representing all subsidiaries. The groups regularly discuss issues within specific areas such as rental, finance, IT, operations, project development, sustainability, communication and personnel.

In addition to the permanent development

Age distribution - number of employees Satisfied Employees Index

groups, project teams handle current issues, for example, brand awareness and media monitoring.

The Group has a common intranet where experiencies and knowledge easily can be shared between the companies.

Attractive workplace

By offering competence development and creating a motivating work situation, Castellum promotes loyalty and job satisfaction. The decentralized organization means that each employee has well-defined areas of responsibility with a high level of empowerment, leading to professional as well as personal development. Employee performance reviews occur yearly with all employees. These are an important tool for following up and setting objectives, as well as for identifying competence development needs. During 2015, 95% (93%) of all employees had performance reviews, of which 40% were women and 60% men.

Castellum cares for its employees and thus works with preventive health care, offers corporate wellness subsidies and provides substantial health insurance for both employees and their immediate families. Wellness programs are offered both for preventive purposes and for the continued well-being of the company's workforce.

A bonus-sharing program provides employees with the opportunity to benefit from their respective company's financial performance improvement.

Once a year, all employees in the Castellum Group meet to share experiences and strengthen the Group spirit.

Education

Castellum offers full possibilities for professional and personal development through internal and external training. In 2015, all employees participated in Group-wide sustainability training. The training focus was general knowledge of sustainable development, as well as Castellum's own sustainability efforts. In addition, employees of each respective subsidiary were offered individual training.

Committed employees

Employee viewpoints about Castellum are monitored regularly in a Satisfied Employees Index, surveying attitudes towards their own working situation, the company and management. The latest survey, carried out in 2014, continues to show a very high index: 85 on a scale of 100. This can be compared with a benchmark of 72. High results are shown for the fields of leadership, competence development and loyalty. The response rate was 97%, demonstrating deep commitment.

Results of employee surveys are important for further development of the company and its employees.

Values

Trust is the most important commodity for Castellum, and our common values can be summarized as worthy of trust, irrespective of whether we collaborate with customers, capital market participants or other stakeholders. Worthy of trust relies on:

  • creating responsible growth
  • solid knowledge of the local market
  • taking action with a long-term perspective
  • continuous improvement and development

Castellum takes long-term actions and strives to build long-term relationships with both customers and other partners. Castellum employees are ambassadors for the company culture, and employees understand that their actions are crucial to how the company is perceived.

Castellum's corporate culture is strong – as was shown in the Satisfied Employee Index survey.

Code of conduct

The code of conduct provides a basis for how Castellum employees should behave toward each other, toward customers and other external stakeholders. It is based on Castellum's values and the UN Global Compact principles and clarifies Castellum's position regarding human rights, working conditions, business ethics and information. Castellum is to provide quality service, abide by laws and regulations, never discriminate against anyone, and create a quality working environment and high safety level. Castellum also focuses on gender equality issues.

Castellum operations, conducted in Sweden and Denmark, are subject to each country's laws and regulations concerning, for example, working conditions, occupational safety and freedom of association. Castellum's HR manual addresses issues such as working environment, equal opportunities, salaries, pensions and company cars.

A preventative discussion on ethics and corruption issues is being carried out, throughout the Group, where preferred conduct for various everyday situations is examined and addressed. A pivotal element is that all employees understand and follow the code of conduct. No incidents of corruption were reported in 2015.

Castellum has a whistleblowing service, which can be reached via the entire Group's web pages. The service aims to help both employees and external parties to act responsibly.

TAGE CHRISTOFFERSSON HEAD OF BUSINESS DEVE-LOPMENT CASTELLUM AB

"Our Group-wide efficiency project, started in the spring of 2015, scored clear and positive results from its first year in operation. Next year's effect will be even greater. The project involves both cost savings and revenue increases in three areas: We coordinate and carry out more joint procurements. We adjust our pricing model. We make our media monitoring more efficient by common processes in the Group.

Media monitoring is largely about establishing more routines for how we utilize electricity and water – for example. Using common checklists, we can carry out speedier analyses and monitoring activities. In addition to the direct economic impact for business operations and our customers, lower energy consumption means reduced impact on the environment."

PAULA DE HOLLANDA SUSTAINABILITY COORDINATOR AT EKLANDIA

"Sustainability work is about acting for the long term, specifically, through three perspectives: ecologically, economically and socially. The operating viewpoint can be summarized in the English expression "There's no business to be done on a dead planet". If we ruin the environment, then there's no place for the business sector to develop. It's about how we can work more with social sustainability, diversity and gender equality, and about participating in the development of common platforms. During 2015 at Eklandia, we continued our efforts to certify existing buildings according to Miljöbyggnad and gain access to green district heating, as well as statistics on waste management. Furthermore, we continued our fruitful cooperation with Brunnsboskolan."

Resources are to be used efficiently and the real estate portfolio will develop in a sustainable way to reduce Castellum's climate impact – work that has been carried out in the Group since the mid- 1990s with positive results.

Both customers and employees are to be offered healthy and safe working environments on our properties. For this reason, Castellum works with environmental inventories and with recognized environmental certification of our buildings.

Improve energy efficiency

Castellum works continuously to reduce energy consumption by optimizing operations and investing in energy-efficient technologies. In 2015, over 80 major energy efficiency projects were undertaken. Castellum follows up and analyzes all energy consumption in a monitoring system. These close follow-ups mean that measures can be targeted to areas with the greatest efficiency potential.

Expansion is underway for Castellum's own portal for web-based property monitoring, to check values for operations, alarms, elevators and entries. This project is saving energy and time and it provides customer benefits in terms of better services through preventive measures. Today, 246 properties – representing 1,627,000 sq. m. – are connected to the portal.

In 2015, the normalized energy consumption for heating and property electricity decreased by 5% compared with the previous year. Since 2007, energy consumption has decreased by 28% per sq. m. in all. Castellum's heating consumption of 69 kWh/sq. m. can be compared with the industry average of 121 kWh/sq. m.

Increased share of renewable fuels

Out of Castellum's total carbon dioxide emissions, 5% are directly influenced by oil, gas, and service-, benefit- and pool cars (Scope 1). Remaining emissions can only be influenced indirectly, i.e., purchased energy such as district heating and electricity (Scope 2), 93% and travels by plane, train and taxi (Scope 3), 2%.

To reduce emissions, work is underway to phase out fossil fuels: There are currently 9 oil furnaces left. Geothermal heating/cooling is installed in 28 properties of 111,000 sq. m. Approx. 19% of customers are responsible for their own heating, and 28% for their property electricity. A total of 112 kW of solar cells are installed in Castellum properties, corresponding to a total of approx. 800 sq. m. of solar cells. In addition, there are two wind turbines totalling 3 kW.

As a user of district heating, Castellum is dependent on the district-heating plant's fuel mix when it comes to emissions of carbon dioxide. Today, Castellum makes use of 25 district-heating facilities, amounting to 91% of the Group's total carbon dioxide emissions. Castellum conducts ongoing dialogues with the district-heating suppliers who account for the highest emissions per kWh, with the purpose of influencing those suppliers to reduce emissions. The transfer to green district heating with renewable fuels is ongoing and currently amounts to 16% of our district heating suppliers.

During 2015, carbon dioxide emissions decreased by 25% per sq. m. and since 2007 they have decreased by 48% per sq. m. Of Castellum's total energy use, 95% is fossil free.

Since 2001, only electricity labelled "environmentally friendly" has been used by the Castellum Group.

Almost all of Castellum's servers are now virtual. A virtual server means that a physical server has been replaced by software – and this also reduces energy consumption.

Target and outcome energy consumption per sq.m. Castellum's environmental certified buildings

Reduced amount of waste

For a long time, Castellum has actively worked on reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill by providing recycling services. Follow-up is difficult since Castellum hires several sanitation companies, and only a few offer weight-monitoring. In addition, customer operations differ – as do their needs for waste disposal. Statistics are currently obtainable from 15% (11%) of the sanitation companies.

Water consumption

Water consumption is an important issue from a global perspective, but of less importance in Sweden. Castellum uses water from the municipal water system, monitors consumption and takes measures to reduce it.

During 2014, Castellum adopted a target implying that water consumption should be reduced by 5% per sq. m., by 2017, compared to 2013. Outcome to 2015 was –1% per sq. m.

Sustainable real estate portfolio through environmental certification

Environmental inventories were conducted for 93% of all properties to identify and address environmental and health risks. The remaining 7% will be inventoried in 2016. The environmental status is updated continuously. When a property is acquired, it is analyzed both in terms of energy utilization and environmental risk, and all new constructions and major reconstructions are environmentally certified.

The environmental risks in Castellum's real estate portfolio are considered to be small, and no significant fines have been paid for environmental crimes.

Castellum environmentally classifies buildings according to Green Building, Miljöbyggnad or BREEAM. Castellum currently owns 104 of Sweden's 277 Green Building-certified buildings, and Fastighets AB Brostaden and Harry Sjögren AB have each been appointed Green Building

Energy, carbon emission and water

Corporate Partner by the EU – which means that energy consumption has been reduced by a minimum of 25% in at least 30% of their real estate portfolios.

Eklandia Fastighets AB owns the first BREEAM certified building in Sweden. The distribution of Castellum's certified properties is shown on the chart on the previous page.

A total 20% of Castellum's real estate portfolio is environmentally certified according to Green Building, Miljöbyggnad or BREEAM. Further new construction is ongoing of additional 263 thousand sq.m. corresponding to 8%.

Continued high growth pace and large infrastructure investments

In Greater Gothenburg, well situated between three Nordic capitals and featuring the largest port in the Nordic area, high growth continues to flourish. The region is characterized by large infrastructure and urban development, with the goal of developing 25,000 new city-living residences and 40,000 new workplaces – just for starters.

Rental market

Greater Gothenburg's rental market generally remained stable with stable-to-rising rents. However, Central Gothenburg has a limited supply, combined with continued strong demand, resulting in higher rent increases than for Greater Gothenburg in general. This situation resulted in a prosperous market for both existing and newly

constructed office premises. The limitations in central Gothenburg also had a positive impact on the areas just outside the city centre, resulting in rising rents and lower vacancies. It also became evident that Lindholmen strengthened its role as one of Gothenburg's most attractive office locations, with a well-developed infrastructure. In both Borås and Halmstad, rents remained

The rental market in central Gothenburg remained stable, with limited supply and high demand. Lindholmen strengthened its role as one of Gothenburg's most attractive office locations.

unchanged, but a slight decrease in vacancies was noted.

Along with Borås, Gothenburg continued to consolidate its position as one of Sweden's leading logistics hubs, and there are plans for extensive construction of new warehouses and logistics facilities in both cities. This will be done on sites with approved local plans.

The retail rental market was characterized by some caution, which is not unique for this part of Sweden. The retail rental market has increasingly been affected by the rise of e-commerce.

Real estate market

In 2015, the transaction volume in Greater Gothenburg totalled approx. SEK 13 billion (19).

The turnover represents about 9% of the total transaction volume in Sweden. The largest single transaction was an office building in Gothenburg, acquired for approx. SEKm 750. Another major transaction was Volvo's sale of warehouse/ industrial properties for SEKm 450. Major transactions in the rest of the region comprised two retail properties totalling SEKm 190 and SEKm 100, respectively.

As previously, buyers were primarily funds and Swedish real estate companies, both listed and unlisted.During the year, a value increase was noted in the region, with some variation due to location, property type and quality. The highest increase in value occurred in central Gothenburg.

ÖRESUND REGION

The largest Nordic region across national borders

The Öresund Region is the largest labour market region in the Nordic area. Powerful infrastructure development over the past several years has played an important role in development, and more than 25% of the combined GDP for Sweden and Denmark is produced here. With 14 universities and colleges, the Öresund Region is also Northern Europe's most knowledge-intensive region.

Unchanged rental levels in Malmö, despite a large proportion of new office space.

Rental market

In Malmö, a relatively large area of new office space was added to the market, and this is expected to continue during 2016 and 2017 as well, corresponding to approx. 50,000 sq. m. per year. Malmö is therefore characterized by both high relocation levels and customer demands for modern office space, which affects the older real estate portfolio. Nevertheless, both rental and vacancy levels remained unchanged in Malmö.

Demand for modern and effective warehouse and logistics premises remained relatively high.

In Lund – one of Sweden's leading research and development cities – work is underway to finalize MAXlab, and The European Spallation Source (ESS) is also

proceeding according to plan. Due to major local cutbacks, Lund will have a large supply of vacant premises, and this supply is likely to increase over the next few years. In 2015, however, both vacancy rates and rental levels remained unchanged.

In Helsingborg, newly constructed office space entered the market for the first time in many years, and more is expected in 2016, supplementing existing office facilities.

In 2015, the market for office space was stable to slightly positive in many areas. New construction of warehouse and logistics properties proceeded at a steady pace, due to demand.

In Copenhagen, 2015 saw an improvement in vacancy rates by 2-4%, depending on location. The improvement was most noticeable in the central areas of Copenhagen but also in areas outside the city centre. Rental levels remained stable.

Real estate market

In 2015, transaction volumes in the region totalled approx. SEK 40 billion, of which about SEK 14 billion relates to the Swedish side. Turnover

represents about 10% of the total transaction volume in Sweden. Compared with 2014, volumes increased on both sides of the strait; mostly in Copenhagen, however. The largest single transaction was the centrally located commercial property Illum, in Copenhagen, with a

purchase price of SEK 2.5 billion. On the Swedish side, the largest transaction was a shopping mall in Lund for SEK 1.6 billion.

Buyers on both the Swedish and Danish sides were mainly national real estate companies and institutions; foreign buyers constituted a smaller portion.

During the year, an increase in value was noted in the region, although with some variation due to location, property type and quality. Central office properties close to communications had the highest increase in value.

A FEW QUESTIONS FOR: OLA ORSMARK MANAGING DIRECTOR, FASTIGHETS AB BRIGGEN

What has been important for Briggen during the year? The fact that we've initiated a portfolio transfer and continued to increase our customer focus. Briggen's employees will become better at understanding customer needs in order to act quickly and make decisions in an increasingly mobile and changing world.

Is there anything else you'd like to highlight? Through the acquisition of the Mässhallen property, Briggen has created the conditions for growing in Hyllie – an area where a large part of Malmö's expansion is taking place. Briggen helps develop tomorrow's society.

GREATER STOCKHOLM

Continued high population and employment growth

Greater Stockholm – the capital of Sweden – is characterized by continued high population growth. This means, for example, that previous work areas are being converted into residential areas. Here's where you'll find Sweden's largest ongoing infrastructure project – a new route for European highway 4, E4 – which will connect the northern and southern parts of Stockholm.

Rental market

Greater Stockholm had a positive rental market in 2015, combining strong demand and rising rental levels with unchanged-to-declining vacancy rates in a number of sub-markets. In central Stockholm, demand was high, resulting in increased rental levels for the top segment while the vacancy rate remained low.

The region is still characterized by a clear focus on modern and cost-effective office space. This has resulted in several companies streamlining their existing properties or relocating from downtown locations to newly constructed office premises outside the city centre. This process will continue in

close to Arlanda.

coming years. Noted effects include empty office premises downtown being converted into hotels and retail premises, and the external locations to which companies relocate are strengthened. As in recent years, the addition of office space in the region is not expected to affect either rental levels or vacancy rates.

Demand remained stable for warehouse and logistics facilities and no major changes occurred regarding rental levels and vacancy rates. New construction was limited.

What has been important for Brostaden during the year? 2015 was characterized by our ongoing portfolio transfer to more central locations, through acquisitions in Hagastaden and Kungsholmen. We've conducted the transfer through divestments and acquisitions. In addition, we've bought buildable sites for logistics purposes in Rosersberg,

The region's retail rental market was characterized by a transformation due to new construction and the reconstruction of several shopping malls.

Real estate market

In 2015, transaction volumes in Greater Stockholm totalled approx. SEK 44 billion (71), which is a clear decrease compared with 2014. The turnover

The rental market remained positive, showing high demand in Greater Stockholm. The trend of conversion to housing continues.

A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR: ANDERS NILSSON MANAGING DIRECTOR, FASTIGHETS AB BROSTADEN

represents about 30% of the total transaction volume in Sweden. The single largest transaction was the acquisition of Skärholmen's shopping mall for approx. SEK 3.5 billion. Another major acquisition was the office property Fatburen for approx. SEK 3.1 billion. Brostaden acquired an office

project in Hagastaden, which will be completed in 2017, for SEK 1.6 billion. The buyer side consisted of listed Swedish real estate companies and Swedish and foreign funds.

As earlier, a number of sold commercial properties were destined for future housing conversions.

During the year, an increase in value was recorded in the region, with some variation due to location, property type and quality. The highest increases in value occurred for office and warehouse/logistics premises.

Is there anything else you'd like to highlight? I'd like to highlight the structured leasing activities we carry out at Brostaden. These allow us to assert ourselves effectively in our market, enabling us to sustain strong net leasing.

MÄLARDALEN

Proximity to Stockholm and its growth profile shapes the entire region

Uppsala and Västerås, within commuting distance of Stockholm and striking distance of Arlanda Airport, are strongly influenced by the urbanization trend. Both municipalities are characterized by strong economic growth. Örebro has diverse industries and is well situated between Sweden's two largest cities.

Rental market

Discounting the retail segment, demand for commercial premises in Örebro, Västerås and Uppsala was stable and high in 2015. Modern offices in prime locations enjoyed the strongest demand, and rising market rents and falling vacancies were also noted here. The picture is the same for all three cities, but strongest in Uppsala.

In Örebro, two central office projects will be completed during 2016. More completed local plans are lined up for future construction. New construction also continues in Västerås, and the next major projects are located at the Travel Centre and in Kopparlunden. Uppsala features the lion's share of new construction among Mälardalen cities, and also boasts the lowest vacancy rate.

The warehouse and logis-

tics market in Örebro has continued to consolidate a position as a leading logistics centre with several ongoing major projects. Rental levels for warehouse/ logistics were stable throughout Mälardalen and the same applied to vacancies.

Weaker demand in the retail segment is partially explained by over-establishment and changed

buying patterns. Strong urban population growth, a lower new construction rate for retail and the conversion of retail space create an adverse effect on this development.

Real estate market

In 2015, the transaction volume for Mälardalen totalled approx. SEK 5 billion (6), which is slightly

lower than the previous year. Turnover in the region corresponded to about 3% of Sweden's total transaction volume. The largest single transaction was the acquisition of a mixed commercial property in Västerås for approx. SEKm 465. In Örebro, Aspholmen accounted for one of the major transactions through the acquisition of 4 properties in central Örebro for about SEKm

Demand for premises in Uppsala, Örebro and Västerås was stable in 2015. Highest increases in value were recorded for centrally located office premises.

A QUESTION OR TWO FOR: CLAES LARSSON MANAGING DIRECTOR, ASPHOLMEN FASTIGHETER AB

What has been most important for Aspholmen during the year?

2015 was characterized by well-implemented investments to meet the requirements of existing and new customers, improve the environmental performance of the properties, reduce our vacancies and improve the real estate portfolio with a solid yield.

What will you focus on within the company? On maintaining a high investment rate over time, featuring quality new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. The main thing is to be the Employer-of-choice as well as the Landlord-of-choice in each market segment.

Three cities characterized by expansive urban development

Linköping and Norrköping are sometimes called Sweden's fourth big-city region. There are ongoing preparations in the region for the expansion of Ostlänken, the express train connection to Stockholm. The two cities – along with Jönköping and its strategic location by European highway 4, E4 – are characterized by bustling urban development.

Positive market development in Jönköping, Linköping and Norrköping for 2015 – characterized by strong

optimism.

Rental market

In 2015, the rental market for Jönköping, Linköping and Norrköping was positive and characterized by strong optimism. In Jönköping, several new office premises are being built, and plans call for more new office space in central locations, combining with residential premises to create a mixed-use city.

Local demand and requirements for newer, more efficient commercial premises have increased in recent years.

As for Linköping and Norrköping, the major urban development for each city is connected to the new infrastructure around Ostlänken, which is not yet fully determined. The uncertainty brings a certain cautiousness

along, concerning new projects in central locations.

Linköping's office rental market was stable in 2015, with solid demand for office space, and limited new construction.

Norrköping demonstrated high demand for modern offices in central locations. The central stock is generally older and requires substantial reconstruction to attract tenants.

The warehouse and logistics market remained strong, showing few vacancies and stable rents throughout the region.

In this region, as for the rest of Sweden, the retail rental market was characterized by a measure of caution.

Real estate market

In Eastern Götaland, transaction volumes amounted to approx. SEK 3 billion (3), which corresponded

to 2% of the total transaction volume in Sweden. The largest single real estate transaction was the acquisition of an office property in Linköping for about SEKm 306. Through Corallen, Castellum acquired 50% of the shares in a jointly owned enterprise with Heimstaden. This real estate portfolio consists of commercial

properties in Linköping and Norrköping for a total value of approx. SEK 2 billion.

The buyer side consisted mainly of Swedish real estate companies, both listed and unlisted, funds and municipalities. During the year, an increase in value was recorded in the region, although with variation due to location, property type and quality. The highest increase in value was recorded for centrally located office premises.

COMMENTS FROM: CLAES JUNEFELT MANAGING DIRECTOR, FASTIGHETS AB CORALLEN

What has been most important for Corallen during the year?

Access to the commercial properties in CORHEI Fastighets AB (previously Ståhls), of course: 22 properties in Norrköping and Linköping. Since 2007, we've maintained the ambition to grow in Eastern Götaland. Thanks to prevailing financial conditions, we could be agile and take advantage of the purchasing opportunity when it arose.

We've been successful in creating satisfied customers. Corallen's SCI index rose by six points compared with the previous year. Moreover, several years of focusing on leasing activities resulted in a high occupancy rate.

FINANCING

Financing at low risk – a cornerstone of Castellum's strategy

Owning and managing real estate is a capital-intensive business, which requires readily accessible funding. Funding can be carried out utilizing shareholder equity as well as borrowed capital, and the look of a company's capital structure depends on the financial risk that the company and its owners are prepared to take.

Financing

The chosen capital structure is pivotal for the financial returns and risk exposure anticipated by the owners. Among the factors that affect the choice are business risk and tax deductions, as well as the risks and costs associated with increased borrowing. As early as the IPO (Initial Public Offering), Castellum established that the company would stand for low financial risk – which is currently expressed in terms of a loan-to-value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.

At 31 December 2015, Castellum's assets amounted to SEK 42 billion and the loan-to-value ratio was 49%, while the interest coverage ratio for 2015 was 351%.

Finance policy and monitoring

Castellum's financial activities are conducted in accordance with the finance policy established by the Board. These will be conducted in such a way that fulfilling the need for long- and short-term financing and liquidity is ensured. Moreover, low and stable net interest costs will be pursued while taking into account the established risk mandates. Developments in the financial markets have a great impact on Castellum. For finance operation purposes, it is therefore important to reflect and support the goals and requirements of the business operations. With the support of the finance policy, the Group

can control and manage financial risks and ensure risk management through close control and monitoring. The financial risks are monitored and reported quarterly to both the Audit and Finance Committee and the Board. The Board annually conducts a review of the finance policy.

Castellum regularly follows up and monitors future funding needs based on assumptions about earnings, net investment volume, property value growth and maturity profile of the existing debt portfolio, covenants in loan agreements and interestrate risk exposure. Furthermore, the Group carries out sensitivity analyses to understand how changes in the real estate portfolio – as well as movements in market interest rates and property values – affect the balance sheet and earnings.

Financial strategy

Castellum's financing strategy will support operations and manage the Group's financial risks while promoting an open and transparent climate. The strategy will be reflected in the finance policy established by the Board – all to ensure risk management through close control. Castellum's finance strategy can be summarized in five cornerstones: diversification, liquidity, strength, transparency and flexibility.

DISTRIBUTION OF FINANCING 31-12-2015

CASTELLUM'S FIVE CORNERSTONES ABOUT FUNDING

DIVERSIFICATION Castellum will oversee a diversified loan portfolio and avoid dependence on both individual counterparty and source of financing.
In addition, the maturity of various kinds of funding sources and individual loans will be distributed over time.
Castellum will monitor and follow developments on the financial markets, enabling us to act quickly and match business
requirements.
At year-end, Castellum's interest-bearing financing amounted to SEK 20.4 billion, of which SEK 9.7 billion came from capital
market financing (an MTN-program totalling SEK 6.5 billion and a commercial paper program totalling SEK 3.2 billion) corresponding
to 47%. Remaining financing came from bank financing from most major Nordic banks.
At year-end, the average maturity of credit agreements amounted to 3.1 years and ranged from 0.2 to 8 years.
LIQUIDITY Castellum will have available unutilized credit facilities in order to respond rapidly to business needs and opportunities that arise.
Moreover, there will be undrawn facilities for the purpose of reducing the need to invest the surplus – thus reducing the risk
between deposits and loans.
At year-end, Castellum had SEK 30.3 billion in credit agreements, of which SEK 9.9 billion were unutilized.
STRENGTH The Group's financial key ratios will be strong, with a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least
200%. The strength of our real estate portfolio is enhanced by the quality of our cash flow as well as by the composition of our debt
and interest rate portfolio.
Castellum is to reduce the risk of sudden negative impact on net financial items – resulting from interest rate changes and/or the
assessment of Castellum as borrower – that cannot be adjusted by opposing effects on income related to business operations.
The loan-to-value ratio was 49% at year-end, while the interest coverage ratio for 2015 was 351%.
TRANSPARENCY Castellum will encourage long-term relationships with both banks and other lenders/investors and aim to be transparent in
order to increase stakeholder understanding of the Group's operations and, consequently, credit exposure.
FLEXIBILITY Castellum is to have flexible financing for the purpose of supporting business developments regarding acquisitions, sales and project
development. Our credit facilities will provide us with high flexibility to withdraw and repay with short notice and at no extra cost.
Furthermore, Castellum is to have access to flexibility, both in terms of pricing (fixed and floating) and maturities.
At year-end, Castellum had SEK 20.7 billion in bank agreements, of which SEK 17.0 billion consisted of revolving credit facilities.

"Castellum should enjoy sufficient and competitive financing so the Group's activities can be conducted in an effective and cost-efficient manner."

Funding risk

Funding risk refers to the risk that financing is not available or is very unfavourable at a given time. Funding risk itself is by far the Group's largest financial risk. The Group's assets – primarily commercial properties – should be seen as longterm investments, which thereby comply with demands for a long-term approach to real-estate portfolio financing. However, market pricing of credit should also be taken into account.

Castellum should enjoy sufficient and competitive financing so the Group's activities can be conducted in an effective and cost-efficient manner. The funding risk is managed through advance planning, appropriate credit maturity structure, balanced loan pricing, diversification of funding sources and maturities, and a reasonable liquidity cushion.

At year-end, Castellum had credit agreements totalling SEKm 30,325 (26,065), of which longterm agreements amounted to SEKm 25,141 (22,357) and short-term contracts to SEKm 5,184 (3,708). During the year, MTNs totalling a nominal value of SEKm 3,500 were issued and SEKm 1,200 expired. Credit agreements totalling SEKm 18,000 were renegotiated and/or extended, and an existing overdraft was increased by SEKm 100. After deduction of liquid assets of SEKm 39 (47), net interest-bearing liabilities were SEKm 20,357 (18,399), of which SEKm 6,499 (4,200) were outstanding MTNs and SEKm 3,157 (1,280) outstanding commercial papers. (Nominally SEKm 6,500 and SEKm 3,161 respectively.)

Issued commitments in credit agreements – called covenants – state a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%. In 2015, Castellum's loan-to-value ratio was 49% and interest coverage ratio reached 351%. Average maturity of Castellum's credit agreements was 3.1 years (3.0) at year-end 2015.

Interest rate risk

By definition, interest rate risk refers to a potentially negative impact on the income statement and balance sheet caused by a change in market interest rates. To limit fluctuations in net interest costs, Castellum will feature a mix of fixed interest terms on loans and interest rate derivatives. Choice of interest rate profile should take into account the Group's Business Plan as well as anticipated inflows and outflows.

Interest cost is the single largest cost item and has a major impact on growth in income from property management. It is partly affected by changes in market interest rates, and partly by the margin required by creditors as compensation for lending money. The short-term market interest rate is affected by the Riksbank, whereas the longterm market interest rate is affected by other factors such as expectations of future growth and inflation. The credit margin is controlled by supply-and-demand for credit, as well as by regulations in the credit and capital markets.

Both interest and credit markets can change rapidly and are outside Castellum's control. Increased market interest rates are generally a result of economic growth and rising inflation. Higher rates, in turn, are presumed to result in increased demand for commercial premises, thereby leading

Credit maturity structure

to increased rents and/or reduced vacancies. Falling interest rates are assumed to have opposite causes and effects. Given this reasoning, rising or falling market interest rates will thus be met by rising or falling rental income, over time. Changes in credit margins may occur regardless of prevailing economic conditions. Recently, they have primarily been affected by changes in credit and capital market regulations. Changes in market interest rates affect net financial items. How quickly – and by how much – largely depends on the chosen fixed interest term and the binding period of credit margins.

To ensure a low and stable net interest cost, Castellum has chosen to restrict the proportion of fixed maturities due within 6 months to an interval between 20% and 55% of net debt; the average fixed interest term will be between 1 and 3.5 years. The interest coverage ratio is the financial key ratio that describes a company's risk level and resilience to fluctuations in net interest. Castellum's strategy is an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. For 2015, the interest coverage ratio was 351% (318%). The average fixed interest term at December 31, 2015, was 2.5 years (2.8), while the share of maturities due within 6 months was 44%. Margins and fees on credit agreements had an average term to maturity of 3.1 years (2.6).

Net financial items for 2015 amounted to SEKm –602 (-644) with an average interest rate of 3.0% (3.3%) and included market interest rates at issue date plus creditors' margins. Average effective interest rate at December 31 was 2.9% (3.4%).

Credit and counterparty risk

Credit and counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty cannot fulfil delivery or payment. In financial operations, credit and counterparty risk arises primarily in connection with long-term credit agreements, derivative contracts and the investment of liquid funds.

Castellum limits this risk by requiring high creditworthiness of counterparties; all of them are major Nordic banks.

Currency risk

Currency risk refers to a negative impact on the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow due to changes in exchange rates. Currency risk can be divided into translation exposure and transaction exposure. At year-end, Castellum owned

* Castellum's definition of loan to value ratio has been changed and now includes liquid assets. The new definition is: "The Group's interest-bearing liabilities with liquid assets deducted, i.e., as a percentage of total fair value for the properties. In turn, fair-value considerations include a deduction for acquired properties not taken into possession, as well as value added for divested properties, still in Castellum possession, at the end of the period."

properties in Denmark totalling SEKm 954 (530), which means that the Group is exposed to currency risk. Currency risk relates mainly to income statements and balance sheets in foreign currencies that are translated into Swedish kronor. As a basic rule, equity is not hedged for translation exposure, while transaction exposure is hedged if exposure in any currency exceeds a counter-value of SEKm 25.

Secured interest-bearing liabilities

Long-term bank facilities are mainly secured with collateral comprising the company's real estate holdings, and commitments also include a number of covenants. Issued MTNs, commercial papers and short-term bank loans are unsecured. Of net interest-bearing liabilities totalling SEKm 20,357 (18,399), SEKm 10,460 (12,919) were secured by mortgage deeds and SEKm 9,897 (5,480) unsecured. The proportion of utilized secured financing was thus approx. 25% of the property value. Issued commitments in credit agreements state a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%. In some cases, the banks have the right to re-pricing at less advantageous loan-to-value ratios and interest coverage ratios than Castellum's internal policy limits stipulate. Castellum is also to provide lenders with financial information such as annual reports, interim reports and property valuations. In some cases, the lender has the right to renegotiate credit agreements due to a significant change in business direction or discontinued stock exchange listing.

Derivatives

Interest rate derivatives

According to the IAS 39 accounting standard, derivatives are subject to market valuation. For interest-rate derivatives, this means that a surplus or a deficit occurs if the stipulated interest rate varies from the current market rate. Castellum accounts for this change in value in the income statement. By extending the fixed interest term, the interest rate risk in terms of cash flow is limited, whereas the risk for accounting-based changes in value is increased. To note: Loans with long-term, fixed interest rates are less flexible, but they are comparable to extensions using interest rate derivatives, from a risk and interest rate standpoint. These are not subject to market valuation according to current accounting standards.

Currency derivatives

Funding in Danish currency can be achieved by borrowing in Danish kroner or by using currency derivatives. The exposure is the same but derivatives are subject to market valuation, according to the IAS 39 accounting standard. This means that there is a surplus or a deficit if the stipulated currency rate varies from the current exchange rate. Castellum applies hedge accounting according to IAS 39, implying that the effective portion of value changes is accounted for in other total net income.

Organization

All financial risk management is centralized in the parent company. The internal bank is responsible for the Group's funding, risk management, financing for subsidiaries and cash management. The parent company also includes a back-office and compliance function, which provides accounting and independent control of financial operations.

Dividend growth for 2015: 7%

Castellum will work for a competitive total return on the company's share relative to risk and will also strive for high liquidity. All actions will be taken from a long-term perspective. The company will provide frequent, open and fair reports to shareholders, to capital and credit markets and to the media – without disclosing any individual business relationship. In the long term, Castellum will be one of the largest listed real estate companies in Sweden.

The Castellum Share

The Castellum share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap. Castellum's market capitalization, i.e. the value of all outstanding shares in Castellum, amounted to SEK 19.8 billion (20), as at December 31, 2015. This corresponds to about 9% of the total market capitalization (SEK 219 billion) of Swedish real estate companies operating solely in this sector. The Castellum figure is just under 0.3% of the total market capitalization – approx. SEK 5,700 billion – of listed Swedish companies.

The share capital amounts to SEKm 86, distributed among 172,006,708 A-shares with a par value of SEK 0.50 per share. Each share, except the company's own repurchased shares, entitles the holder to one vote and carries an equal right to a share in Castellum's capital.

During 2015, a total of 188 million (133) shares were traded, equivalent to an average of 751,000 shares (532,000) per day, corresponding on an annual basis to a turnover rate of 114% (81%). The share turnover is based on statistics from Nasdaq, Chi-X, Burgundy, Turquoise and BATS Europe. 67% of the trading was done on the Nasdaq, 22% on Chi-X, 7% on Turquoise, 4% on BATS and 0% on Burgundy.

Proposed dividend

The Board intends to propose the annual general meeting to decide on a dividend of SEK 4.90 per share, an increase of 7% compared with previous year. The dividend ratio is 52% of income from property management before tax.

If the annual general meeting decides to accept the Board's dividend proposal and Tuesday March 21, 2016 as the record day for payment of the dividend, the share will be traded including the dividend up to and including the day of the annual general meeting, Thursday March 17, 2016. Payment of the dividend is expected to take place on Thursday March 24, 2016.

The dividend falls within Castellum's objective of distributing at least 50% of income from property management, having taken into account investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and financial position in general. Unrealized changes in value, positive or negative, are thus not included in the distributable income.

Net asset value

Net asset value is the total equity which the company manages for its owners. Based on this equity Castellum want to a create stable return and growth at a low level of financial risk. When assets and liabilities are valued at fair value the net asset value can be calculated using shareholders' equity in the balance sheet. However, consideration should be taken to that the effective tax is lower than the reported nominal tax rate, in part due to the possibility to sell properties in a tax efficient way, and in part due to the time factor for which the tax should be discounted.

Long term net asset value (EPRA NAV) can be calculated to SEK 129 per share (114). The share price at the end of the year was thus 94% (107%) of the long term net asset value.

Further, assessments have been made that tax loss carry forwards are realized in 2 years with a nominal tax of 22%, providing a present value of deferred tax liability of 21%. The properties are realized in 50 years where 33% are sold directly with a nominal tax of 22% and that 67% are sold indirectly through company divestments where the buyers' tax discount is 6%. This provides a current value for deferred tax liability of 6%.

Listed Real Estate Companies

4.90

The Board intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting to approve a dividend of SEK 4.90 per share, an increase of 7% compared with previous year.

"Since 1997, Castellum's share has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap under the name CAST."

During 2015, the total yield of the share, including dividend of SEK 4.60, was 2%.

"Some twenty Swedish and foreign stock market analysts track the development of both Castellum and the Swedish real estate sector. "

Average dividend growth for the Castellum share has amounted to 6% per year during the last 10 years.

Earnings

In 2015, income from property management per share adjusted for nominal tax attributable to income from property management (EPRA EPS) amounted to SEK 9.03 (8.26). This results in a share price yield of 7.5% (6.8%) corresponding to a multiple of 13 (15). Income from property management should be adjusted for increase in value in the long-term real estate holdings as well as for effective tax paid.

Earnings after tax per share amounted to SEK 17.57 (7.38) in 2015. Based on the share price, this provides a return of 14.6% (6.1%), corresponding to a P/E of 7 (17).

Total yield

Total yield reflects the development of the share price plus dividend paid during the period.

The Castellum share price as at 31 December, 2015 was SEK 120.70 (122.10), corresponding to a market capitalization of SEK 19.8 billion (20.0). During 2015, the total yield of the share, including dividend of SEK 4.60, was 2% (27%).

Dividend yield

Dividend yield is the company's dividend divided by the current share price. It represents the yield shareholders receive in cash every year following the AGM's decision. The key ratio thus expresses the relationship between two different "spheres": Castellum's performance in the form of dividends and the stock market's pricing of the company.

The valuation thus reflects the market's view of the dividend yield required to achieve a total yield that matches the market's yield on the Castellum share.

The proposed dividend of SEK 4.90 (4.60) corresponds to a yield of 4.1% (3.8%) based on the share price at the end of the year.

Net asset yield and result including long-term change in value

In companies managing real assets, such as real estate, the income from property management only reflects part – albeit a large part – of the overall result. The definition of a real asset is that the value is protected. This means that over time – and with proper maintenance – the real asset

increases in value to compensate for inflation.

The net asset value – i.e., the denominator of the yield ratio income/capital – is adjusted annually in accordance with IFRS regulations for changes in value. In order to provide an accurate yield figure, the numerator – i.e., income – must be similarly adjusted. Therefore, the recorded net income has to be supplemented with a component of value changes as well as with effective tax to provide an accurate view of income and yield.

One problem is that changes in value can vary greatly between years and quarters, thus leading to volatile results. However, by being a long-term player with stable cash flow and a balanced real estate portfolio, Castellum is able to make use of long-term value changes to adjust the numerator of the equation. In the table below, Castellum's average change in property value of 1.1% over the past 10 years has been used.

Created shareholder value

At the IPO in May 1997, Castellum's real estate portfolio amounted to approx. SEK 10 billion, income from property management to approx. SEKm 300 and shareholders' equity to about SEK 4 billion. Since then, Castellum has created shareholder value by increasing shareholder's equity to SEK 21 billion as at December 31, 2015. During the same period, Castellum shifted out approx. SEK 8.5 billion in dividends, repurchase and redemption. The real estate portfolio has grown over the same period to approx. SEK 42 billion at the end of 2015, while income from property management has increased to SEKm 1,533.

Valuation

The investor's required yield for a given share forms a basis for valuation in the long term. The required yield varies from share to share, as well as over time. This is partly due to the risk the investor perceives for a particular company; a risk that he wants to be compensated for. The higher the risk, the higher the required yield. An acceptable share price therefore derives from the investor's – or rather the investor collective's – assessment of the future total yield of the share (the sum of dividend yields and changes in value) and the level of risk.

In the short run, it is largely supply and demand for shares that affects share-price movements and sets current share prices. Factors affecting price in the short term – apart from investor assessments of the long-term yield of the share – include industry outlook, macro assessments, geopolitical events, allocation aspects, potential yield on alternative investments, and regulations. However, looking over the long term, it is the company's actual performance in terms of total yield and growth that determines crucial for share-price development.

As shown in the table on the left, Castellum has achieved a total average yield of 9% per year, over the past 10 years, of which dividend yield accounts for about 4% and share price development around 5%. All to a moderate risk level compared to the Swedish real estate market. The average dividend growth for the same period amounted to 6% per year.

Shareholders

At the end of the period the company had about 19,100 shareholders. The amount of shares registered abroad at the year-end was 50%. Shareholders registered abroad cannot be differentiated in terms of directly held and nominee-registered shares except in cases where the shareholder is obliged to disclose their holdings. One foreign shareholder, Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP, has disclosed holdings of over 5%. Castellum has no direct registered shareholders with holdings exceeding 10%.

Investor relations

Investor relations are primarily based on quarterly financial reports, press releases on significant commercial events and presentations of Castellum. Presentations take place in connection with quarterly financial reports and visits from investors as well as analyst and investor meetings both in Sweden and abroad. The large share of foreign shareholders means that there are extensive contacts with foreign investors. Additional market and financial information is provided on the Group's webpage www.castellum.se.

Share repurchase

Castellum has repurchased 8,006,708 of the company's shares for a total of SEKm 194, equivalent to 4.7% of the total registered number of shares. The repurchase took place in 2000. The number of outstanding shares – i.e. the number of registered shares less the number of repurchased shares – totals 164,000,000. As repurchasing is a good method of adjusting capital structure to capital requirements from time to time, the Board will propose to the AGM to decide on extending the mandate to repurchase shares until the next AGM. This mandate provides the possibility to repurchase or transfer shares.

A property portfolio valued at SEKm 41,818

On December 31st, 2015 Castellum's investment properties were assessed a fair value of SEKm 41,818 corresponding to SEK 12,282 per sq.m. The average valuation yield for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects, undeveloped land and building rights can be calculated to 6.5%.

The valuation was carried out in a uniform manner using internal valuation based on a 10-year cash flow model with individual assessments for each property. This was to reflect both future earnings capacity and required market yield. In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation, 161 properties – representing 56% of the value of the portfolio – have been valued externally.

Property valuation

Internal valuation

Castellum records the investment properties at fair value and has made an internal valuation of all properties as of December 31, 2015. The valuation was carried out in a uniform manner, and was based on a 10-year cash flow model, which is described in principle below. The internal valuation was based on an individual assessment for each property and reflects both its future earnings capacity and its required market yield. In the valuation of a property's future earnings capacity, consideration has been taken of potential changes in rental levels, occupancy rates and property costs - as well as an assumed inflation level of 1.5%. Projects in progress have been valued using the same principle, but with deductions for remaining investments. Building rights have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value per square metre, on average approx. SEK 1,700 per sq.m. (1,500). For further information about the assumptions in cash-flow and required yield see note 11.

Example internal valuation

To illustrate the model, the following example is provided. It should be noted that assumptions regarding cash flow growth and other assumptions included in the model are only intended to illustrate the model. Even if relevant figures are used the example should thus not be regarded as a forecast of the company's expected earnings.

Assumptions in the example:

Total property value 41,818

  • The economic occupancy rate is assumed to increase in order to reach a long-term level of 96% in the year 2020.
  • Net operating income for 2015 is based on actual result for the investment properties, with an assumed cost of SEK 30/sq.m. for pure property administration.
  • Growth in rental value and property costs has been assumed to 1.5% per year during
  • the calculation period. • The average economic life of the real estate portfolio has been assumed to be 50 years.
  • Projects, undeveloped land and building rights have an assumed value SEKm 1,994.
  • The required yield, discount factor, is calculated according to the following assumptions:
Percentage Weighted
Required yield of capital required yield
Equity 9.6% - 15.5% 40% 3.8% - 6.2%
Borrowed capital 5.0% 60% 3.0%
Weighted required yield 100% 6.8% - 9.2%

CASTELLUM ANNUAL REPORT 2015 DIRECTORS' REPORT 65

Uncertainty range

Property valuations are calculations performed according to accepted principles and on the basis of certain assumptions. The value range of +/– 5-10%, often used in property valuations in a normal market, should therefore be seen as an indication of the uncertainty that exists in assumptions and calculations. In a market with lower liquidity, the range may be wider. For Castellum, an uncertainty range of +/– 5% means a range in value of the property portfolio of SEKm 39,727 - 43,909, corresponding to +/– SEKm 2,091.

Value Changes

As for earlier years, the real estate market in 2015 was characterized by high activity and strong demand, resulting in lower required property yield and, as a consequence, higher property prices. Thus, the average valuation yield has been reduced by 0.25 points since year-end, in order to reflect price increases seen in the Swedish real estate market. The change in value during the year amounted to SEKm 1,837 (344), corresponding to 4.6%. The increase in value consisted

mainly of SEKm 255 attributable to acquisitions, SEKm 203 attributable to project profits and SEKm 1,331 primarily due to reduced yield requirements. In addition, property sales resulted in a value change of SEKm 48. Net sales price amounted to SEKm 1,140 after deduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs totalling SEKm 57. Hence the underlying property value, which amounted to SEKm 1,197, exceeded the last valuation of SEKm 1,092 by SEKm 105. As each property is valued individually, the portfolio premium that can be noted in the real estate market was not taken into account.

The net increase in value, including this years change, over the past 10 years has been 1.1% per year, which is well in line with inflation.

Total yield

Concerning the total yield of the properties - i.e., the sum of yields and changes in value - it can be noted that Castellum's performance depends on when measurements were started.

On average, Castellum has had a better total yield on ware-house/industrial compared to office/retail - regardless of when the measurement period was started. The annual average total yield for the past 10 years has been 7.5% (6.9% yield + 0.6% change in value), thereby surpassing office/retail which has had 6.8% (5.9% yield + 0.9% change in value). Calculations do not include project gains or acquisitions from the year the acquisition was completed.

External valuation

In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation, 161 properties - representing 56% of the value of the portfolio - have been valued externally by Forum Fastighetsekonomi AB. The properties were selected on the basis of the largest properties in terms of value, but they also reflect the composition of the portfolio as a whole in terms of category and geographical location of the properties. Forum's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 23,581, within an uncertainty range of +/- 5-10% on property level, depending on each property's category and location. Castellum's valuation of the same properties totalled SEKm 23,539, i. e., a net deviation of SEKm +42, corresponding to 0%. The gross deviation was SEKm +696 and SEKm –654 respectively, with an average deviation of 6%.

In addition, NAI Svefa made a desk-top valuation of 41 properties corresponding in value to 23% of the portfolio. NAI Svefa's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 9,324. Castellum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 9,742, i.e. a net deviation of SEKm –418 corresponding to –4%. Forum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 9,774, i.e. en net deviation of SEKm +32 corresponding to 0% compared to Castellum's valuation.

It can be noted that Castellum's deviation from the two external valuers accommodated well within the uncertainty range of +/–5-10%.

Tax

Castellum will provide financial reporting which is permeated with openness and transparency. This also applies to the handling and accounting of taxes, an issue of such importance to the real estate industry. The Group's main approach is that correct tax will be paid in compliance with prevailing regulations.

At Castellum, there are a number of areas that are taxed: income tax on current earnings, property tax, VAT, stamp duty and energy taxes. Political decisions – such as changes in corporate taxation, tax legislation and interpretations – may lead to changes in Castellum's tax situation. These could be both positive and negative.

Income tax

Castellum's reported income from property management for 2015 amounted to SEKm 1,533 (1,450), while taxable income from property management amounted to SEKm 236 (434). In the absence of tax loss carry forwards, a paid tax of SEKm 52 (96) would occur, attributable to the income from property management, equivalent to 3% effective tax paid.

Investments in real estate can be allocated to different parts where the Swedish Tax Authority specifies percentages for tax depreciations: Buildings (2-5% depending on type of property), land improvements 5% and inventories 20% or 30%. Land is not depreciated.

Tax deductible reconstructions

Costs for repairs and maintenance of a building may be deducted immediately. The "extended repair concept" allows for direct deduction for certain types of value-adding improvements, even if they are capitalized in the accounts.

Property sales

Properties can be sold directly or indirectly through companies, which have different tax consequences. Profit on properties that fiscally represent fixed

assets is taxable, while a loss is put in a "fold" and can only be netted against profits within the Group from direct sales of properties that represents fixed assets. Profit on sales of shares which from a taxation point of view are considered fixed assets is not taxable, while a loss is not tax deductible.

For properties or shares which fiscally represent current assets a profit is always taxable while a loss is tax deductible.

Changes in value on properties and derivatives

Swedish accounting laws do not allow reporting of properties at fair value in a legal entity, meaning that changes in value are reported only in the consolidated accounts and hence do not affect taxation. Some financial instruments such as interest rate derivatives may be reported at fair value in legal entities. For Castellum, changes in value resulting in a negative value on the instrument constitute a tax deductable cost and changes in value up to acquisition value of the instrument are considered a taxable income.

Castellum has no current tax disputes.

Deferred tax on the balance sheet

Castellum has two entries which make up the basis for deferred tax - properties and tax loss carry forwards. All tax loss carry forwards are reported since expected future taxable income

Deferred tax is in principle both interest free and amortization free and can therefore be considered as shareholder equity. The real deferred tax is lower than nominal partly due to the possibility of selling properties in a tax-efficient way, partly due to the time factor which means that the tax will be discounted.

Estimated real deferred tax liability net has been calculated to 5% based on a discount rate of 3%. Further, assessments have been made that tax loss carry forwards are realized in 2 years with a nominal tax of 22%, giving a present value of deferred tax liability of 21%, and that the properties are realized in over 50 years where 33% are sold directly with a nominal tax of 22% and that 67% are sold indirectly through company disposals where the buyers tax discount is 6%. This provides a present value for deferred tax liability of 6%.

may be used to net the tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax deriving from properties occurs mainly due to changes in value, tax deductions such as depreciation and deduction of certain reconstructions, which are capitalized in the account.

Property tax

Property tax is paid for almost all the Group's properties. However, there is tax exemption for special buildings such as communication buildings, educational and healthcare buildings. For other properties, the tax rate set by the Swedish Tax Agency depends on the type of building and site. Tax is 1% of the assessed value for offices and 0.5% for industrial and warehouse buildings. In Denmark, tax rates vary depending on in which municipality the properties are located. Property taxes for 2015 amounted to SEKm 172 (170), based on an assessed value of SEK 21 billion.

Value added tax (VAT)

Real estate is exempt from compulsory VAT duty. If a premise is leased to a customer who runs a permanent VAT-liable business, the real estate owner can voluntarily register for VAT and thus get to deduct input VAT on both operating expenses and investments. Hence no deductions can be made for input VAT attributable to operating expenses and investments in premises not registered for voluntary tax liability. Non-deductible VAT on operating expenses for 2015 was SEKm 18 and is reported as an operating expense. Non-deductible VAT on investments for 2015 was SEKm 7 and is reported as investment in real estate.

Stamp duty

Upon acquisition of real estate in Sweden there is a stamp duty (title deed) of 4.25%, calculated on the higher value of either purchase price or assessed value. In Denmark, the equivalent tax is 0.6%. In 2015, SEKm 38 stamp duty was paid for acquisitions, as part of the acquisition value. There is also an additional stamp duty (pledging cost) of 2% (1.5% in Denmark) for mortgage deeds in real estate. In 2015, this tax totalled SEKm 18 and is capitalized in the balance sheet.

Energy taxes

Castellum purchases energy to use for heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting in the buildings. SEKm 29 of that sum involves energy taxes.

Employees

Employers in Sweden pay 31.42% in socialsecurity contributions based on salary and a payroll tax of 24.26% on pension contributions. Castellum has 299 employees for whom SEKm 59 was paid in social-security contributions and payroll taxes.

Summary tax

In 2015, Castellum's operations generated a total of SEKm 357 in various taxes.

Owning and managing properties means that operations are exposed to a variety of risks, both internal and external – or to uncertainties that may affect the Group's ability to achieve objectives. Castellum therefore works with a regular and structured process to identify and actively monitor the full range of financial and non-financial risks that the Group encounters or has to take on. The Group's risk management involves a structured process of decision making with the aim of establishing a balance between the desire to limit uncertainty or risk and the task of generating growth and shareholder value.

Risk and Risk management

Risks, exposure and risk management

Castellum defines risk as an uncertainty factor that may affect the ability to achieve company goals. Risk management involves a structured decision-making process with the aim of balancing the desire to limit uncertainty with achieving the objective. In order to assess the effect of identified risks, an internal risk rating is carried out where each risk is assessed, both from the perspective of impact and probability. This process determines whether the risk should be further monitored (Monitor), corrected (Focus) or handled through the standard review and management (Review).

To facilitate risk management, Castellum has chosen to classify risks into the following categories:

  • External environment risks due to the influence of external factors and events
  • The real estate portfolio risks associated with the ownership of Castellum's real estate portfolio
  • Employees risks associated with recruiting, training and retaining engaged and competent employees
  • Management risks associated with everyday management of Castellum's real estate holdings
  • Financing Castellum's financing risks

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

External environment risks refer to risks due to the influence of external factors, mainly outside Castellum's control, but to which Castellum has to relate. These risks can be divided into macroeconomic risks, crises and changes in legislation.

RISK RISK MANAGEMENT EXPOSURE
MACROECONOMIC RISKS PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
1. Macro – crisis
Macroeconomic risks are risks associated with
a general reduction in demand in the economy,
low inflation, deflation or situations which entail
general difficulties in obtaining financing – or
funding at higher credit margins.
• Monitor world events
• Strong balance sheet and low loan to value ratio
• Well-composed contract portfolio with a wide
spread regarding notice of termination, type
of business, type of facility, contract size and
geographical location
• Deflation protection or a minimum upward
adjustment of leases
• Multiple sources of funding
• Frequent renegotiations/new credit agreements
• Property portfolio focused to growth areas
• Natural macroeconomic hedging mechanism
for higher/lower interest costs and rental
income, but with some time delay
A weak economy affects the demand for
premises negatively, leading to increased
vacancies, falling market rents and loss of
indexation for existing leases. In addition, the
risk of payment problems, or even bankruptcies,
among tenants increases, resulting in immediate
negative effects on cash flow.
Limited access to funding reduces Castellum's
possibility to operate. Ultimately, reduced
demand in the economy leads to declining
property values.
C RI S E S PRIORITY: MONITOR DEVELOPMENT:
2. Crises
Crises may include such events as terrorist
attacks, cyber-attacks, extreme weather and
environmental disaster, and information leakage.
• Crisis plan
• Succession-planning for senior executives
• Full value insurance properties
• Guidelines for information security: create user
understanding and awareness of information as
an asset to be handled with care.
• Continuity plan IT
The risk is generally low, but Castellum could
become indirectly affected by external factors
and events
CHANGES IN LEGISLATION PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
3. Changes in legislation
Changes in legislation or regulations, whether
national or international, can affect Castellum.
For example, tax law changes, new regulations for
banks, plan process management etc.
• Monitor developments regarding laws, regula
tions, praxis etc., within areas most essential to
Castellum.
• Actively participate in public debate
• Prepare Castellum for new legislation
• Frequent renegotiation of credit agreements
• Broaden the funding base through multiple
sources of funding and financiers
Changes in legislation may affect future
investment opportunities, or lead to increased
expenses, resulting in reduced future returns.
New banking legislation may affect access to
financing, cost of borrowed capital – and might
trigger credit clauses that would lead to higher
financing costs. Changes in tax rates and tax
legislation – such as proposals regarding
interest-deduction limitations, new regulations
concerning tax depreciation and the prohibition
for "bundling" of properties – may affect
Castellum's future tax expenses.
PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:

REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO

Real estate portfolio risks are risks associated with the ownership of Castellum's real estate portfolio, which in turn can be divided into risks concerning the composition of the portfolio, investments and changes in property value.

RISK RISK MANAGEMENT EXPOSURE
COMPOSITION OF THE REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO PRIORITY: MONITOR DEVELOPMENT:
5. Composition of the real estate portfolio
The composition of the portfolio can be affected
at two levels: unfavourable geographical distri
bution – which means that Castellum owns
properties in the wrong submarket, community
or location with respect to, for example, future
growth and current urbanization trend, – or:
owning obsolete properties – i.e. a real estate
portfolio that is not future-proof with regard to
customer preferences, technical requirements,
micro-location – or flexibility in usage and condition
of contracts.
• Macro analysis – regular reviews of submarkets
regarding economic growth, rental market,
cooperative climate, infrastructure investments,
etc.
• Annual review of the real estate portfolio
regarding geographic exposure and property
type
• The Board's adoption of an annual strategy
document
Castellum's real estate portfolio is located in five
growth regions and 14 areas. Currently, all loca
tions are assessed as having the right conditions
for continued holding or investments. Moreover,
during 2014 and 2015, major transactions took
place with the aim of creating better conditions
for future cash flow growth.
The Group's real estate portfolio in the commer
cial real estate segment is distributed across
office/retail (but not malls) and warehouse/light
industrial/logistics. All segments are linked to
growth possibilities.
PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
6. Obsolete product/property
A non- "future-proof" real estate portfolio may
become obsolete due to customer preferences,
technical requirements, micro-location or to
flexibility in usage and condition of contracts. It
entails a risk of increased vacancies and a decline
in value as a result. Alternatively, large investment
commitments.
• Follow the rental market and its development/
supply
• "Trend spotting"
• Be close to customers to understand not only the
needs of today but also those of tomorrow
• Follow infrastructure investments
• Participate actively in developing the area/
submarket
• Follow the development of technology
• Ongoing investments in existing portfolio to
"upgrade" and sell properties that are not
deemed "right" from a future perspective.
Castellum annually invests approx. SEK 2.5
billion, evenly distributed in a normal year
between acquisitions, new constructions,
extensions and reconstructions. In addition,
the Group sells real estate for about SEK 0.5
billion a year when it is commercially justified.
PRIORITY: REVIEW DEVELOPMENT:
7. Size – too big in a submarket/area
Becoming too big in a market segment or area
may mean that the municipality or the outside
world places higher demands on Castellum, for
example: that the company has to take overall
financial responsibility for an area regarding
infrastructure etc.
• To be among the top three in each respective
submarket
• Follow market share, which is considered in the
adopted investment strategy
• Conduct annual analysis of the next three years
to ascertain available growth opportunities
The real estate portfolio is concentrated to selected
submarkets, which are all considered stable,
possessing favourable prospects for long-term
positive development.

RISK RISK MANAGEMENT EXPOSURE

INVESTMENTS PRIORITY: MONITOR DEVELOPMENT:

8. Investments

Erroneous investment strategy or, alternatively: inability to execute the selected investment strategy or to find profitable investment projects.

Investments can be made either in the form of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions, or via acquisitions. Acquisitions of individual properties can be carried out directly as property acquisition, or indirectly in corporate form. Acquisitions may also be made on a larger scale, either in the form of portfolios for regions or category of properties, or in the form of strategic acquisitions of corporations, i.e. the purchase of an existing organization.

  • Annual review and evaluation of the adopted investment strategy
  • Link investment decisions to the adopted investment strategy to ensure the optimal decision is made
  • Several parallel investment discussions ongoing simultaneously
  • Post-investment follow-ups after three years
  • Risk-based model to determine the proportion of projects that may commence without ready customers
  • A structured decision-making process which analyzes market conditions and risks
  • Contract form that limits risk
  • Leasing agreements designed to limit the negative impact of unforeseen construction delays, additional requirements, etc. when leasing before construction starts
  • Quality assurance and evaluation of implemented projects
  • Quality assured due diligence process concerning legal, financial and tax issues
  • Introduction program for new employees

Low-yield investments and/or lack of growth potential mean that the 10% income-growth objective for property management will not be achieved. Further, yearly net investments constitute a prerequisite for reaching the growth target, which in a highly competitive real estate market means increased risk that the investment strategy can't be carried out.

The risks associated with new constructions, extensions and reconstructions concern both technology issues in the form of construction risks – such as selecting suppliers, contract type, technical execution, etc. – and market issues in the form of rental and vacancy risks as well as miscalculations regarding potential rental level and customer requirements. In addition, there are risks in the form of negative environmental impact. Acquisitions via corporations also involve corporate-specific risks pertaining to the acquired companies, for example, taxes, litigations and environmental issues. Furthermore, the task of employee integration often accompanies the transfer of employees.

9. Strategic acquisitions

Strategic acquisitions can be performed to obtain various advantages, but can also carry risks such as difficulties integrating operations and employees, a risk that management's attention is drawn away from other important business issues, risks with a potentially new market that the acquirer has limited or no experience of, expenditures for any unknown or potential legal liabilities in the acquired company, as well as an overly expensive acquisition.

• Due diligence

  • Thorough planning and structured processes to incorporate a new company
  • Identify in advance the skills and market awareness needed
  • Identify key figures in well in advance
  • Access to the market's best advisors

Castellum has effective processes and skills (directly or indirectly via advisors) required for major strategic acquisitions.

CHANGES IN PROPERTY VALUE PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:

10. Changes in value – real estate

Value changes can occur due to macroeconomic factors (see section above, on macroeconomic risks), microeconomic factors (usually the wrong submarket, district or location), or propertyspecific causes. In addition, there is also the risk of individual properties being incorrectly assessed. Whatever the reason, value changes affect both income statement and Castellum's financial position including loan to value ratio.

  • Strong balance sheet
  • A large number of properties, a geographically diversified real estate portfolio and great variation in lease agreements – concerted actions which result in lower volatility of the real estate portfolio value
  • Continuous analysis of the transaction market and quarterly reviews of the valuation of the real estate portfolio help detect early warning signs
  • Internal quality assurance and internal control of internal valuations
  • Annual external valuation of at least 50% of the portfolio

Large negative value changes can ultimately lead to the breaking of agreed terms and terminating credit agreements, thus resulting in higher borrowing costs, or – worst-case scenario – in utilized credits falling due for payment.

PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:

MANAGEMENT

Management risks refer to risks associated with the ongoing management of Castellum's real estate portfolio, which has a direct impact on the income from property management. These risks can be divided into rental income, property expenses, taxes, sustainability, responsibility, liability risk and reporting.

RISK RISK MANAGEMENT EXPOSURE
RENTAL INCOME PRIORITY: MONITOR DEVELOPMENT:
11. Rental income
Rental income is affected by many factors, both
external and internal. External factors may
include falling market rents, loss of indexation
and bankruptcy (see section above on macro
economic risks). Poor management can result in
disgruntled tenants, unnecessary vacancies and
customer loss caused by inability to offer cust
omers what they want.
• Maintain properties in growth areas and a
contract portfolio with a large number of
agreements – not dependent on a single tenant
or business sector. Ensure a maturity structure
spread over time
• Proximity to customers and attentiveness to
customers
• Experienced and competent management and
leasing staff who prevent notices of termination
through active renegotiations before contract
expiry
• Competitor analysis; measure customer satis
faction and follow-up of net leasing
• Strive for leases with an index clause with
deflation protection and minimum indexation
For Castellum, reduced income can be derived
from lower rental value, i.e. loss of potential rent
obtained from vacant premises, or from lower
rental income, which is the actual rent received.
Rental income is hence dependent on both the
market rent of the property and on how Castellum
handles vacancies. Reduced rental income
ultimately leads to a decline in the value of the
real estate portfolio.
PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
12. Disgruntled customers/tenants
The risk that several tenants or customers become
disgruntled and leave the Group.
The ability to attract new customers/tenants
fails, with large vacancies and value decline as a
result.
• Proximity to customers and attentiveness to
customers
• Experienced and competent management and
leasing staff
• Annual measurement, Customer Satisfaction
Index
Castellum has a strong and clear customer
focus, and it is important that the Group lives
up to customer expectations. Hence, an annual
Customer Satisfaction Index measurement is
carried out. The most recent, conducted in 2015,
shows continued high ratings with an index of 80
on a scale of 100.
PROPERTY COSTS PRIORITY: REVIEW DEVELOPMENT:
13. Property costs
Risks concerning property costs mainly relate
to cost increases beyond what Castellum can
be compensated for through contractual rents,
indexation and surcharge. It can also refer to
unforeseen costs and extensive renovation needs.
• High percentage of cost recharging
• Compensation via minimum indexation
• Continuous optimization of operations and
efficiency efforts
• Electricity hedging
• Demarcation list landlord/tenant
• Prevention of rental losses via background
checks on customers and operating an "in-house"
debt collecting business
• Long-term maintenance planning, in order to
optimize maintenance costs over time
The price of electricity is determined by supply
and demand in an open, deregulated and partly
international market. Other media costs are partly
controlled by local monopolies, which creates
uncertainty in future costs. The basis for calcu
lating ground rent levels may change in future
renegotiations, and political decisions can change
both tax rate and tax assessment value used for
calculating property tax. Indirect costs for employees
– such as payroll taxes and other obligations –
could also be affected by political decisions.
TAX PRIORITY: REVIEW DEVELOPMENT:
14. Tax
Castellum's potential non-compliance with
existing regulations or non-adaptation to
changing regulations regarding income tax
and VAT. Tax is also an important parameter
in the context of calculation.
• Strict internal control processes and external
quality assurance of, for example, income tax
returns
• Open claims regarding doubtful items
• Continuous training of employees
• Closely following the development of legis
lation, praxis and court orders
Incorrect tax management might lead to erro
neous tax being paid, to tax penalties and, in
some cases, to qualified opinion. Poor fiscal
management may lead either to an overesti
mation of the return – which means insufficient
actual return. Or it could lead to an underestima
tion of the return, with the risk of a fundamentally
profitable investment not being implemented.
RISK RISK MANAGEMENT EXPOSURE
SUSTAINABILITY PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
15. Sustainability
An erroneous investment strategy or portfolio
management may mean that the Group does
not have the correct platform for maintaining
sustainable earnings. For example, lower cost
efficiency may occur if measures are not taken
to save energy and minimize waste. For new
construction, extension and reconstruction there
is a risk that the materials and methods used may
subsequently prove to cause damage. In addition,
environmental policies and environmental opinion
may affect Castellum, not least in the form of
increased taxes or necessary investments.
Being a long-term player, incidents may arise
which imply that Castellum does not assume
social responsibility – causing damage to the
reputation or brand.
• Monitor developments in laws and regulations
• Prioritize environmental issues in all parts of
the business
• All new constructions will be environmentally
certified
• Sustainability policy, where measurable goals
common to the Group have been developed
under the headings:
- Promote more efficient resource consumption
- Develop a sustainable real estate portfolio
- Develop green relationships with customers
- Sustain social commitment and responsibility
• Code of conduct for Castellum employees, as
well as for suppliers and partners, in place
• Comply with standards and documentation
requirements
Castellum works with environmental certifi
cation and environmental inventory to reduce
environmental, climate and health risks. 20% of
the real estate portfolio is certified and 93% has
undergone environmental inventory. Efficient
management, with focus on reduced resource use
reduces the risk of high costs, environmental and
health impacts as well as providing customers
with a healthy working environment. Since 2007,
energy consumption has been reduced by 25%
and carbon dioxide emissions by 48%.
Defect-risk in the work of the suppliers involved,
can also affect Castellum. However, by including
the Code of Conduct and sustainability standards
in procurement, the risk is considered to be low.
Through community involvement in all locations
where Castellum operates, the company contributes
to the attractiveness of the area and reduces
social challenges.
LIABILITY RISKS PRIORITY: MONITOR DEVELOPMENT:
16. Liability risks
All ownerships entail responsibility. For Castellum's
part, the properties may be destroyed by fire, water,
theft or other damage. Moreover, Castellum may
– through negligence – cause damage to a person
or to the property of another. The Company might
also cause environmental damage for which it
will become liable.
• Preventive measures to minimize the risk of
damage to property, person or environment
• All properties will be covered by full value
insurance
• Subscribe to an insurance which covers liability
and other economic losses
• Environmental inventory of existing portfolio and
when acquiring new properties in order to identify
and address environmental and health risks
Inadequate insurance coverage may result in
unforeseen costs for Castellum. Liability and
compensation for damage might also arise
due to personal injury and third-party property
damage, as well as for remediation of environ
mental damage.
REPORTING PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
17. Reporting
The risk of an official report, in the form of interim
reports or financial statements, which do not
provide a true and fair view of Castellum's opera
tions, earnings and financial position.
• A corporate culture based on high ethical ideals
and orderliness
• Close internal control with quality assurance at
several levels
• Skilled and experienced staff
• Updated on development of regulations and
able to implement changes in good time
• A compliance function which reports directly to
the Board's Audit and Finance Committee
• External audit full-year and half-year
A misleading report would lead to bad will and
a negative reputation in the market. This may
lead to uncertainty among investors, increased
risk premium and, ultimately, to a negative
exchange rate impact, creating economic
losses for Castellum's current owners. Other
effects include: investors may make incorrect
investment decisions, regulators may exercise
sanctions and, ultimately, the Castellum share
may become delisted.

EMPLOYEES

To recruit, develop and retain motivated and engaged employees is crucial to Castellum's long-term success.

RISK RISK MANAGEMENT EXPOSURE
EMPLOYEES PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
18. Employees
Employees are one of our most important assets
– their decisions and actions run the business.
The largest risk is to fail to recruit, develop and
retain employees and senior executives with the
right skills, which may lead to underachievement
at Castellum.
• Castellum's common value-system
• Open and transparent work environment
• Skills and leadership development
• Employee Satisfaction Survey (NMI)
• Succession plan for key employees/manage
ment positions
• Market and competitive remuneration
• Analysis of employee turnover
Bad hires in the wrong place, disgruntled
employees, poor leadership and an organization
that fails to encourage open dialogue and stimu
late development can lead to employees being
discontented, underperforming or quitting. In
turn, dissatisfied employees and high employee
turnover lead to increased costs, poorer customer
relations, reduced internal efficiency and –
ultimately – to lower profitability.
Castellum has an NMI of 85 from the latest
employee survey in 2014, and a healthy turnover.

FINANCING

Castellum's single greatest risk is not to have access to financing. Lending conditions, as well as credit market rules can change quickly, thus affecting Castellum's interest rate risks, financial costs and ability to extend existing credit agreements and sign new ones.

RISK RISK MANAGEMENT EXPOSURE
FINANCING PRIORITY: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT:
19. Financing
Liquidity and financing risk: Financing is either
not available or conditions are very unfavourable
at a given time.
Selected capital structure: Castellum violating
the 55% limit for LTV or the covenant of 65%
could affect the market's confidence in Castel
lum, with potential results:
- violating the 55% limit for LTV leads to more
expensive financing costs for some contracts
- violating the 65% limit for covenants means
that they expire for a number of contracts
Interest rate risk: the risk that a change in market
interest rate will affect income and cash flow.
Castellum may violate the established mandate of
an interest coverage ratio of no less than 200%
or corresponding covenants of a minimum of
150%.
• A finance policy defines that determines risk
mandates
• Liquidity reserves/unutilized credit facility
• Multiple sources of financing (bank, MTN,
commercial paper programs)
• Several lenders, and only counterparties with
high credit ratings
• Continuous renegotiation of credit agreements
• Security through pledged mortgages
• Strong balance sheet
• An interest-rate maturity structure spread over
different terms
• Long-term credit agreements with fixed
margins
• Revolving loans in order to obtain maximum
flexibility
• Only marketable instruments used in the
market, so that listed prices can be obtained
• Established formulas for handling calculations
• Reconciliation between internal and external
valuations
• A compliance function to ensure independence
Property ownership is a capital-intensive
business that requires a well-functioning credit
market. Access to finance is fundamental for
Castellum and for continued growth. Insufficient
liquidity reserves could result in Castellum
missing out on business opportunities. Further
more, all lenders are not equally strong financially,
which means that counterparty risks are built into
the system.
Changes in capital structure might cause
Castellum to violate the agreed-upon finan
cial key ratios of the loan conditions, which
would lead to more expensive loans or to credit
agreements maturing. In addition, confidence
in Castellum within the capital market could be
negatively affected by not ensuring an appropriate
capital structure.
The market interest rate is affected by the Riks
bank's monetary policy, expectations of economic
development – nationally as well as internationally
– and other unforeseen events.
PRIORITY: MONITOR DEVELOPMENT:
20. Changes in value – derivatives
Changes in value of Castellum's interest-rate
derivatives or currency derivatives arising from
changes in market interest rate or from the
exchange rates between SEK/DKK.
• A financial policy regarding fixed interest terms
and currency risks
• Marketable instruments – exclusively – used in
the market, so that listed prices can be obtained
• Established formulas for handling calculations
• Reconciliation between internal and external

Sound corporate governance is the foundation for a company to be managed sustainably and responsibly – as well as efficiently and effectively. It requires compliance with legislation, rules and good practice, but also has to be tailored to Castellum's business operations. Verifying compliance is one of the Board's main tasks. The other task is to be a hands-on, close-to-the source powerhouse that both challenges and supports management.

Corporate Governance Report

Charlotte Strömberg, Chairman of the Board at Castellum AB:

The following pages describe how Castellum is organized and managed according to a structured and well-tested model. The model is based on laws, regulations and good practice, but tailored to Castellum's business operations within this obvious framework. "Neatness and order" – including a clear division of labour, policy documents, processes and monitoring – have formed a common thread in Castellum's history from its very beginnings, in the wake of the real estate and financial crisis of the early 1990s. A primary Board task – as monitoring body – becomes a matter of perfecting and adapting to a changing world rather than carrying out drastic interventions. Even so, I'll return to a couple of issues in this area that the Board devoted extra attention to during the past year.

Long-term responsibility

Before that, I'd like to devote some time to the Board's second main task – to be a hands-on, close-to-the source powerhouse that both challenges and supports management. Our common primary task is to create sustainable shareholder value. It means assuming long-term responsibility for managing the capital entrusted to us by the shareholders to achieve a solid and growing return.

In some circles, there is talk of quarterly capitalism and the pressure on executive management to deliver according to the short-term forecasts made by analysts. In this scenario, boards can play a key role as counterweights, by consistently drawing out the perspective and taking responsibility for legitimate expectations of sustainable and growing long-term earnings. This requires courage.

The real estate industry has traits that make it appear sluggish, for better or worse. Contracts and agreements with our customers – the tenants – extend over several years. This lowers operational risk, particularly for Castellum, where we've consciously built up a diversified portfolio of 600 properties and 4,500 leases with overlapping maturities. Conversely, the structure means that it may take time and patience to implement desired changes.

Property acquisitions and sales also demand creativity and foresight. Compared with other asset markets – such as the stock and capital markets – the market is less liquid and based on close matching of specific interests between buyer and seller.

Future-proof cash flows

With the goal of creating growth in cash flow over time, Castellum's Board and Executive Group Management actively work to future-proof our real estate portfolio. This is about having the right products in locations where communities are growing the most, as well as identifying where the reverse may be true in five-to-ten years' time. In this latter scenario, there's a risk of obsolete products. Coupled to the above-described sluggishness, it is crucial to constantly adjust well in advance. Easy to say, but a challenging task in practice.

In recent years, the Board and Executive Group Management have developed a strategy to both counter and take advantage of future changes in the surrounding world. During the past 15 months, this implementation has become noticeable. We have begun to relocate, with stepped-up activity in the portfolio. We've left areas and properties that provide a high return today but indicate lower expected growth, and we have shifted up through investments with a lower initial return but better growth. For the first time since 2003, we also reached an occupancy rate of over 90%. Towards the end of the year, we emerged – with awareness, and still aiming for the long-term perspective – from a lower-growth period of income from property management to a noticeable spurt in income-growth pace. We've dared to act long-term at the expense of short-term growth. The 2015 stock market ratings were recorded in a risk-friendly environment, and during the year, we posted lower development than several of our listed colleagues who delivered higher growth coupled with higher financial leverage.

However, we are sticking to the combination of low operational risk and controlled financial risk that has been Castellum's promise to the stock market since listing in 1997. Paired with a clear dividend policy, we can propose a dividend increase to the AGM for the 17th consecutive year. Of course, we remain spurred on by competition and look forward to advancing our positions – continuously improving and customizing our business – for the benefit of both tenants and shareholders.

A desire for new solutions

From a Board perspective, we enjoy the privilege of not being absorbed by everyday operations. Focusing on today's customer – today – is a Castellum hallmark. During the year, Castellum employees have solved many problems and created "The Board can play a key role as counterweight to quarterly capitalism by consistently drawing out the perspective and taking responsibility for managing the capital entrusted to us by shareholders to achieve a solid and growing return."

new possibilities for our tenants. A retained and satisfied customer drives our profitability. It constitutes a major strength to have our customers spread the message. Therefore, we're particularly pleased that nine out of ten tenants are happy to recommend us as landlord and partner.

Whoever stands still – filled with complacency – will be left in the dust of competitors. It is therefore crucial how and where we should place our efforts when work and leisure are increasingly interwoven. New technology and digitalization have ushered in new behaviours, decisionmaking and preferences. One of the highlights of the Board year consequently occurred at the spring strategy meeting. We gathered Executive Group Management and the Board together, to head out onto thin ice and make predictions for the future. An inspiring and provocative discussion leader helped us ponder several necessary and fun initiatives. As urban developers and one of the largest suppliers of commercial properties to Sweden's growth regions, we can – and want to – contribute to the development of society. I'm convinced that Castellum can take a leading role and promote the transformation of "old" industries as well as the emergence of new ones.

With 600 properties and a cross section of Swedish society housed in our facilities, we possess both the will and the ability to test new solutions and drive innovation processes in conjunction with our customers and their clients. As in the past, our recipe for success is spelled local presence and personal commitment, spiced by the possibilities of technology.

Well-composed financing structure

The current revamping of our real estate portfolio is clearly creating value and ultimately increasing cash flow. However, the Board's close focus on business strategies should not overshadow respect for that vital commodity – capital. Access to financing is a real estate company's biggest risk. Conversely, a well-composed financing structure constitutes a competitive advantage that guarantees agility taking in future business opportunities.

Therefore, I would like to particularly highlight the agile and active work of the company's financing function, which contributes to supporting business operations while curbing risktaking. Castellum owns properties totalling SEK 42 billion. Binding credit agreements and setting limits for capital market financing for a total of SEK 30 billion dictate daily monitoring activities. Making major changes to the portfolio calls for careful preparation and evaluation. Properties for SEK 9 billion (gross) were turned over, which also entailed subsequent mortgage management.

During the year, loan commitments totalling SEK 18 billion were renegotiated with attractive terms. Bonds for SEK 3.5 billion were issued.

At year-end, the loan-to-value ratio amounted to 49% – considered modest by our businesssector standards. This creates breathing room for continued net investments when solid returns are indicated.

I have thereby highlighted one of the areas that rivets the Board's supervisory attention. In 2015, a more comprehensive analysis of financing issues and associated risks was completed by the Audit and Finance Committee, resulting in a reworked and refined Finance Policy approved by the Board.

A final point on the governance theme from the past year's agenda was the specific formulation of our further hopes from suppliers and other partners, aside from commercial undertakings. Through our Code of Conduct, Castellum sets out guidelines for how our own and employee behaviour should always be characterized by high ethics and responsibility. Moreover, we would like to assume greater responsibility by promoting ecologically, socially and economically sustainable business outside our own walls. Ultimately, some measure of influence can be achieved by avoiding partners who do not share Castellum's view of corporate responsibility. Concerted efforts to encourage suppliers to sign Castellum's Code of Conduct have now begun, and this is a task that will develop gradually.

Finally, I look forward to another businessintensive year with Castellum. Our executive team members have high ambition levels, and their change-ready stance is supported by an engaged, and active Board, dedicated to driving success. My colleagues on the Board represent broad diversity in terms of background, skills, experience and personality. This ensures that a wide range of possible perspectives will be factored into all discussions and decisions, with the common goal of sustainable growth in shareholder value.

Overall structure for Corporate Governance

Swedish Code for Corporate Governance

Corporate governance covers the various means of decision making by which the shareholders – directly and indirectly – control the company. Corporate governance has evolved through laws, recommendations and statements, the Code (Swedish Code for Corporate Governance) and through self-regulation. It is based upon the comply-or-explain principle, meaning that all rules do not always have to be followed and there is no crime in deviating from one or more particular rules of the Code if there are motives and explanations. The Swedish Code for Corporate Governance (the Code) is conducted by the Swedish Corporate Governance Board and is found at www.bolagsstyrning.se, where the Swedish model for corporate governance is also described.

The model above describes the overall structure of corporate governance at Castellum AB (publ).

Observance of the Code

Castellum applies the Code with the purpose of creating favourable preconditions for taking on the role of active and responsible ownership. It is crucial that the company acts responsibly to fulfil strategies and create long-term value.

According to Board appraisal, Castellum has followed the Code in all respects during 2015 and has no deviation to report.

Shareholders and Annual General Meeting

Castellum AB (publ) is a Swedish public company governed by the Swedish Companies Act, the Nasdaq Stockholm rules for issuers, the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance and the articles of association.

The Castellum share is listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap. At year-end 2015, Castellum had approx. 19,100 shareholders. Of the total share capital, 50% was owned primarily by Swedish

institutions, funds and private persons and 50% was owned by foreign investors. Castellum has no directly registered shareholder with holdings exceeding 10%.

The share capital amounts to SEK 86,003,354 distributed among 172,006,708 shares with a par value of SEK 0.50. Each share, except the company's own repurchased 8,006,708 shares, entitles the holder to one vote and carries an equal right to a share in Castellum's capital. There are no warrants, convertible bonds or similar securities which may lead to additional shares in the company.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM is Castellum's supreme decision-making body, where shareholders have the right to make decisions about the Group's affairs.

The AGM is held in Gothenburg during the first half-year after the end of the financial year. The Annual General Meeting elects the Board of Directors and the company's auditors as well as making decisions on changes in the articles of association and on changes in the share capital.

Participation in decision-making requires the shareholder's presence at the meeting, either personally or through a proxy. In addition, the shareholder must be registered in the share register by a stipulated date prior to the meeting and has to provide notice of participation in the manner prescribed. Individual shareholders requesting that a specific issue be included in the agenda of a shareholders' meeting can normally request the Castellum Board to do so well in advance of the meeting, via an address provided on the Group's website.

Decisions at the meeting are usually taken on the basis of a simple majority. However, regarding certain issues, the Swedish Companies Act stipulates that proposals must be approved by shareholders representing a larger proportion of the votes of the shares represented and votes cast at the AGM.

Charlotte Strömberg Chairman of the board in Castellum AB (publ)

All members of the Election Committee have carefully considered and ascertained that there is no conflict of interest in accepting the mandate of being a member of Castellum's Election Committee. Prior to the 2016 AGM, the Election Committee has held 4 meetings with recorded minutes. All relevant issues that need to be addressed to comply with the Swedish Code for corporate governance have been dealt with. Among various issues, the Election Committee has discussed and considered:

  • to what extent the current Board of Directors fulfils the requirements that will be imposed on the Board of Directors as a result of Castellum's operations and development phase,
  • how many people should constitute the Board of Directors,
  • which areas of expertise are, and should be, represented on the Board of Directors,
  • the composition of the Board of Directors with respect to experience, gender and background,
  • remuneration to the members of the Board of Directors,
  • which model should be used for appointing a new Election Committee for the 2017 AGM.

The Election Committee has received a detailed review of the outcome of the comprehensive evaluation of the Board of Directors. The review was conducted by a company specializing in board evaluations. Furthermore, the Election Committee has conducted a recruitment process which included contacts with a recruitment consultant, the drawing up of a set of requirements for the recruitment of members of the Board as well as meetings with candidates for the Castellum Board of Directors. Moreover, in connection with the Board evaluation review, the recruitment process and committee work in general, the Election Committee has continuously focused on how gender balance in the Board is to be maintained.

In order to assess a proposed Board member's independence in relation to Castellum and its executive management as well as to the larger shareholders in Castellum, the Election Committee has gathered information on proposed members for the Board of Directors. The Election Committee has assessed that all proposed Board members are to be considered as independent in relation to Castellum, its executive management and to the larger shareholders in Castellum. Finally, the Election Committee has informed the company about its activities and which proposals the Committee has decided to put forward.

The Election Committee's proposals to the AGM are shown on the previous page. The proposed Board of Directors are considered to possess the required versatility, broad competence, experience and background relevant for Castellum operations, development phase and mixed range of circumstances. The Election Committee's proposals mean that four of seven Board members are women, including the Chairman. The maintenance of a gender balance on the Board has been a crucial condition for the work of the Election Committee.

External auditors

The external auditors are appointed by the AGM and responsible to the shareholders at the AGM. They are independent reviewers of Castellum's accounting and corporate governance report and also review the Board and the CEO.

Castellum's auditors are elected by the AGM for a period of three years. The present period began in 2014, and the next election will therefore take place at the AGM in 2017. The company's

The Board of Directors – rules of procedure

The Board of Directors rules of procedure are set annually. The rules of procedure describe the work of the Board and the distribution of responsibility between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The rules of procedure also state which topics should be dealt with at each Board meeting and give instructions regarding financial reporting to the Board of Directors.

The rules of procedure also prescribe that the Board will have an auditing and finance committee and a remuneration committee. The committees review and prepare recommendations to the Board on various matters. Members of the committees are appointed yearly. The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee should be the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee is appointed by the Board.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors

The Chairman of the Board of Directors is responsible for making sure that the members of the Board regularly receive required information from the Chief Executive Officer. This is in order to follow up on the company's financial position, results, liquidity, financial planning and development. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is also obliged to fulfil decisions made by the Annual General Meeting regarding establishment of an election committee and to participate in the work of the committee.

The Board of Directors – activities during 2015

In 2015, Castellum's Board held 11 meetings, of which one was the Board meeting following election. According to the prevailing procedural rules, the Board is to hold at least seven scheduled board meetings each calendar year, of which one is a Board meeting following election.

Board meetings are held in connection with the publication of the company's reports, specifically: the Annual Report, proposed appropriation of profits and issues relating to the AGM are dealt with in January; interim reports are discussed in April, July and October; strategy is examined in June and the budget for the following year is considered at the meeting in December.

At each of the scheduled board meetings, matters of significance for the company, such as investments, sales of properties and funding are covered. Further, the Board is informed on the current business situation in the rental and real estate markets as well as in the credit and stock markets. Issues about safety, incident reports and customer-related issues are managed regularly by the Board, and at each board meeting, an executive session is conducted without anyone from corporate management present. The Board also has meetings with the auditors without the presence of corporate management. Regular matters dealt with by the Board during 2015 included company-wide policies, an overall strategy plan, procedural rules for the Board, capital structure and funding needs, sustainability efforts, the business model and organizational issues, as well as the company's insurance situation. In addition, the Board devoted several meetings to enhancing their knowledge of operations through themed

During 2015, the Board carried out a comprehensive external evaluation of its work, utilizing a company that specializes in board evaluations. The evaluation demonstrated an open and constructive climate and a well-functioning decision-making process.

The evaluation has been handed over to the Election Committee and the Board for discussion. The evaluation covers topics such as working climate, working procedures in the business process, crisis management, follow-up and control systems, morals, ethics and communication.

The evaluation and related discussion serve as a basis for the continuous development of the Board's work and ensure that the Board can make decisions which are as well-informed as possible.

No other compensation than remuneration for work on the Board and committees has been paid.

Remuneration Committee

The Board's Remuneration Committee continuously evaluates the remuneration to executive management in view of current market conditions. The Committee prepares matters for decisions by the Board. The members of the Remuneration Committee are appointed once a year.

The Remuneration Committee consists of three Board members, including the Chairman of the Board, who is Chairman of the Remuneration Committee. The Committee's rules of procedure are drawn from the Board of Directors' rules of procedure and are established annually. The Remuneration Committee's functions are to:

  • Prepare and propose guidelines for remunera tion principles, remuneration and employment terms for the CEO and other senior executives. The guidelines for remuneration are to be sub mitted to the Board which, in turn, will work out remuneration suggestions to be decided upon at the Annual General Meeting,
  • Monitor and evaluate ongoing incentive plans – completed during the year – for flexible remuneration to Executive Group Management. The results of the Remuneration Committee's evaluation of remuneration to senior executives are presented on the company's website,
  • Annually evaluate the work of the CEO.

The Remuneration Committee will meet at least twice a year. During 2015, the Committee held two meetings. Issues addressed at the meetings included the review of the remuneration of the CEO and other senior executives, decisions about changes in the remuneration of members of executive management, evaluation and follow-up of existing incentive programs, as well as HR and succession issues. In 2015, the Remuneration Committee also received a comprehensive external evaluation of the CEO's efforts. They developed parameter proposals for the individually

targeted factors regarding the annual performance -based incentive program. The Remuneration committee also accessed the CEO's evaluation of Executive Group Management.

Audit and Finance Committee

The Board's Audit and Finance Committee monitors financial and auditing matters and submits them to the Board for decision. The Chairman and members of the Committee are appointed annually.

The Audit and Finance Committee consists of three members, and the Committee's rules of procedure partly consist of the Board of Directors' rules of procedure, which are established annually. The Audit and Finance Committee's functions are to:

  • Review and monitor financial reports in order to monitor the effectiveness of internal audit and risk management,
  • Monitor work on capital structure and other funding issues and prepare funding issues for decisions by the Board,
  • Monitor the efforts concerning business risks and compliance, and ensure that appropriate systems for control and monitoring exist,
  • Submit an annual report on internal control and ensure that the corporate governance report describes the Board's measures to ascertain that the internal control works,
  • Keep informed about the Annual Report and consolidated accounts,
  • Review and monitor the auditor's impartiality and independence, and evaluate auditing activi ties, as well as informing the Election Committee of the evaluation outcome,
  • Assist the Committee in preparing proposals for auditors and compensation to them.

The Audit and Finance Committee will meet at least four times a year, and of these, the Group's auditors will attend at least twice. On one of the occasions when the Audit and Finance Committee meets with the auditors, no one from corporate management is to be present. In 2015, the Audit and Finance Committee met four times. Examples of the issues dealt with at meetings involved: capital structure and financing issues; financial reporting, including a review of future regulations and their possible consequences for Castellum; internal control and risk management, as well as the work of the auditors. This last includes auditor impartiality and independence – development of policies and feedback from the Whistleblowing-service. Business-related issues were also thoroughly investigated.

During the year, the Audit and Finance Committee has also held a private meeting with the compliance officer without the presence of management.

CEO and Executive Group Management

The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the company's day-to-day management and for leading operations according to the guidelines and directives submitted by the Board of Directors. The CEO also provides the Board with information and the necessary documentation for decision-making. The CEO leads the work of Executive Group Management and makes decisions after consulting its members.

The Chief Executive Officer

The Chief Executive Officer reports at Board meetings and assures that members of the Board regularly receive the information required to follow the company's and the Group's financial position, results, liquidity and development.

Executive Group Management

Executive Group Management consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Investment Officer and the Head of Business Development of Castellum AB as well as the six Managing Directors of the subsidiary companies. Each member of Executive Group Management has his or her own area of responsibility, and meetings mostly cover issues pertaining to overall operations. Executive Management held nine meetings in 2015.

In 2015, Erika Olsén took up a new position as Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at Castellum, with responsibility for overall investment strategy and major transactions.

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer join the Managing Director of each subsidiary to constitute the Board for each local subsidiary.

Guidelines for remuneration for senior executives The 2015 AGM decided on the following remuneration guidelines for senior executives:

Castellum is to uphold competitive remuneration levels and attractive terms of employment to recruit and maintain excellent management with the competence and capacity to achieve set objectives. A fixed salary will be paid for work performed in a satisfactory manner. In addition, flexible remuneration under an incentive plan may also be offered. The formulation is based on the objective of interconnecting the executive team's interests with shareholder interests, in that senior management members are also shareholders in Castellum. This also entails an increased proportion of executive remuneration being directly linked to the Group's development. Flexible remuneration, which generally cannot exceed the fixed salary, is determined by the extent to which previously set objectives are achieved for growth in property management per share and share price development. It is also determined by how individually targeted factors have developed. Flexible remuneration is paid as non-pensionable salary. Executives who receive flexible remuneration in accordance with the incentive program are committed to acquiring Castellum shares for at least half the amount of flexible remuneration after tax.

The pension terms of executive management are to be set according to general market practice and will be based on pension plans with fixed payments.

Upon termination by the Company, such period of notice shall not exceed six months for the Chief Executive Officer and twelve months for other executives. During the notice period full salary and other employment benefits are paid, with deduction for salary and remuneration received from other employment or business during the notice period. Such deduction will not be made in respect of the Managing Director. A severance pay, corresponding to twelve fixed monthly salaries, will be paid to the Managing Director upon termination by the company. Such severance pay will not be reduced due to other income received by the Managing Director.

Castellum has followed the guidelines decided by the 2015 AGM.

The proposed guidelines for remuneration for senior executives, which will be put forward at the AGM on March 17, 2016, are in principle unchanged compared with those put forward to the AGM in 2015.

Proposals for a renewed incentive program for senior executives – in principle, an extension of the previous program – will be presented at the AGM on March 17, 2016. The incentive program for the annual profit-based bonus is to be applicable during 2017–2019; for the share-price-based bonus the effective period is June 1, 2017, to May 31, 2020.

For further information regarding remuneration for Executive Group Management, see note 10.

Compliance and internal control

Castellum has a Compliance Officer who monitors compliance, i.e., ensures that laws, regulations and internal rules are complied with. The Group's corporate lawyer is Compliance officer.

Castellum's internal control is based on the established "COSO" framework, which consists of the following components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information, communication and monitoring. Castellum's internal control is described on pages 89–91.

Castellum has a whistle-blower function, which is accessed via all web sites of the Group and via the Group's Intranet. The service represents an early warning system for reporting deviations from Castellum's values and business ethics guidelines.

The Compliance Officer supports business activities by identifying and following up business risks. The Compliance Officer regularly reports risks and compliance to the CEO, as well as to the Audit and Finance Committee.

Executive Group Management consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Investment Officer and the Head of Business Development of Castellum AB as well as the six Managing Directors of the subsidiary companies.

Compliance and internal control

According to the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Code for Corporate Governance, the Board of Directors is responsible for internal control. This report has been drawn up in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Code for corporate governance and is therefore limited to internal control regarding financial reporting.

Internal control in Castellum follows an established framework, Internal Control – Integrated Framework, "COSO", comprising the following five components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information-andcommunication, and monitoring. A schematic description of the internal contral is shown below.

Control environment

The basis for internal control of financial reporting comprises a control environment, which consists of various parts that form Castellum's management culture and values. The fundamentals for Castellum's internal control comprise the following: a decentralized small-scale organization with approx. 600 properties, as well as cost centres, which are managed by six Subsidiaries. The decision-making processes, authorizations and responsibilities which have been drawn up and communicated in documents such as the Board of Directors' rules of procedure, rules for decision making, rules for authorization, accounting and reporting manuals, internal policies and manuals, etc., are also important for internal control. Documents in use are updated regularly to reflect changes in legislation, accounting standards or listing requirements etc.

Risk assessment

At Castellum, risk management is built into our processes and various methods are used to evaluate and limit risks. We secure that the risks Castellum is exposed to are managed in accordance with set polices and guidelines. In accordance with the rules of procedure, the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee, review internal control once a year. Identified risks are assessed and measures are set to reduce these risks. The important risks Castellum has identified in financial reporting are errors in accounting and valuation of properties, interest-bearing liabilities, taxes and VAT, as well as the risk of fraud, loss or embezzlement of assets.

Control acitivities

The risks identified in financial reporting are addressed by the company's control structure, resulting in a number of control measures. The control measures aim to prevent, discover and correct errors and deviations. They comprise analytical reviews on many levels in the organization: comparisons of income statement items; reconciliation of accounts; follow-up and reconciliation of Board decisions and policies set by the Board; authorization and reporting of business transactions; structure for proxy and authorization; authorized signatory; compliance-officer activities; group-wide definitions; templates and tools for reporting as well as accounting and valuation principles.

Castellum subsidiaries have their own financial functions, which take part in the planning and follow-up of financial results for their units. The

CASTELLUM'S INTERNAL CONTROL ENVIRONMENT

INTERNAL CONTROL IS GOVERNED BY:

  • Board of Directors rules of procedures • Audit and Finance Committee's rules
  • and procedures • Rules for decision making
  • Instructions for authorization
  • Accounting manuals
  • Reporting manuals

  • Finance policy, communication policy, insider policy, sustainability policy, Code of Conduct, Code of Conduct for suppliers and partners and Crisis management

  • Guidelines for information security, insurance and electricity trading
  • Accounting manual, HR manual, Manager manual
  • Finance instructions
  • Continuity plan

regular self-analysis of unit financial reporting and the analysis made at Group level constitute an important part of internal control. This ensures that financial reporting does not contain any significant errors.

Board reviews the interim and annual reports before publishing.

Information and communication

Castellum has processes for information and communication that aim to ensure the effective and correct distribution of information regarding financial reporting. This demands that all areas of the operation communicate and share relevant and important information. Policies and guidelines regarding financial reporting as well as updates and changes are made available and clearly communicated to the personnel concerned. Executive management, as well as the Board of Directors regularly receive financial information about the subsidiaries with comments on financial results and risks. The Board of Directors also receives additional information regarding risk management, internal control and financial reporting from the auditors through the Audit and Finance Committee. In order to ensure that the external distribution of information is correct and complete, we have both a policy for communicating with the stock market and an information security policy.

Company culture

That Castellum's operations are conducted in a responsible way is a prerequisite for the company's long-term successful business. The objective is to make sound and proper business decisions in all respects, high business morality, good business ethics, responsibility awareness and impartiality. The base of Castellum's code of conduct is to offer good quality and service, to follow laws and regulations, not to discriminate against anyone and to create good working environment and safety.

Cornerstones for Castellum's company culture have been: The decentralized organization, which creates responsibility and committed employees, where each single colleague is a business collaborator. The geographical proximity to customers, community, suppliers and other parties involved creates a responsibility to act correctly and businesslike.

In Castellum's flat organization each employee has an important role and new ideas are valued. A high level of competence is available within the organization.

Long-term value creation

Long-term value creation requires that operations are run with a sustainability focus. Sustainability work involves both environmental considerations such as reduced use of resources and close control of the property portfolio, as well as assumption of social responsibility by contributing to the development of the communities where Castellum operates. Our efforts also involve ensuring a healthy working environment for

GROUP POLICIES ISSUED BY THE BOARD

employees. Sustainability activities are carried out in collaboration with customers and other stakeholders – a requirement for success. Guidelines for how value-creating sustainability activities are conducted are found in the Sustainability Policy, Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Partners. Castellum reports on sustainability efforts in accordance with the GRI G4. Reports on sustainability activities are regularly provided for the Castellum Board.

Monitoring

Regular follow-ups take place on many levels in the Group, on both property-level and subsidiarylevel as well as Group level. The Board of Directors, which also makes up the Audit and Finance Committee, regularly evaluates the information provided by Executive Group Management and the auditors. The company's auditors also report in person directly to the Audit and Finance Committee at least twice a year regarding their auditing observations and their assessment of internal control. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee conducts an annual review of the risk assessments and agreed-upon measures. Monitoring by the Audit and Finance Committee and the Board of Directors is of particular importance for the development of internal control and for ensuring that timely measures are taken for potentially emerging shortcomings and suggestions.

The need for internal audits

Castellum features a small-scale organization with 40–60 employees in each subsidiary. Together, these units manage approx. 600 properties, i.e., cost centres. About 20 people work at the parent company, Castellum. All real estate management is run by the subsidiaries, while financial management is taken care of by the parent company. This means that Castellum AB is not a profit centre. It places the financial function of the parent company in the twin roles of a controlling function for the subsidiaries and a complianceofficer function for the Treasury Department. The Finance Director in the parent company also reports directly to the Audit and Finance Committee, without other management in attendance. In addition, a "whistleblowing-service" can be accessed through the Group's web pages. In all, this structure provides a rationale for the assessment that there is no need for a special internal auditing unit.

Whistle-blower

Castellum's whistle-blowing-service, "Help us to do right", can be reached by all the web pages in the Group and through the Group's Intranet. The whistleblowing-service is an early warning system which provides both employees as well as external partners the possibility to anonymously report a concern about something that is not in line with Castellum's corporate values and business ethics. The service is administered by an external partner to ensure anonymity and professionalism.

Accounting Principles and Notes

(All figues in SEKm unless stated otherwise.)

Note 1 Accounting Principles

General Information

The financial reports of Castellum AB (The Parent Company) for the financial year ending December 31, 2015, have been approved by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer for publication on February 1, 2016, and will be proposed to the 2016 Annual General Meeting for adoption. The parent company is a public Swedish limited liability company, registered in Gothenburg, Sweden. The business activities of the Group are described in the Directors' report.

Basis for accounting

Castellum's accounts have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS standards adopted by the EU. Further, the consolidated accounts have been prepared according to Swedish law by application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 (Complementary accounting principles for consolidated accounts).

The accounts are prepared based on fair value of investment properties and derivatives, nominal value for deferred tax and acquisition value for the remaining items.

Critical assessments

Accounts completed in accordance with the IFRS and generally accepted accounting principles requires assessments and assumptions affecting recorded assets, liabilities, income and costs, as well as other information in the accounts. These assessments and assumptions are based upon historical experience and other factors which are considered fair under current conditions. Actual outcome may differ from these assessments if other assumptions are made or other conditions exist.

Investment properties

For valuation of investment properties, assessments and assumptions can have a significant affect on the income and financial position of the Group. These valuations require estimates and assumptions of future cash flows and the discounting factor (required yield). To reflect the uncertainty that exists in the assessments and assumptions, an uncertainty range of +/- 5-10% is normally used in property valuations. Information about this along with prevailing assessments and assumptions is presented in note 11.

Asset acquisition versus business combination

A company acquisition can be classified as either a business combination or an asset acquisition. An acquisition that has the primary purpose to acquire a company's property, i.e., where the company's possible property management and administration are of secondary importance to the acquisition, is classified as an asset acquisition. Other company acquisitions are classified as business combinations.

For asset acquisitions no deferred tax is recorded in the acquisition. Instead, a possible tax discount reduces the acquisition value of the property, meaning that changes in value will be affected by the tax discount in the subsequent valuation.

Deferred tax liability

According to the accounting principles, deferred tax shall be accounted for using nominal tax rate without discount, i.e. the decided 22% corporate tax rate. Actual tax is considerably lower, in part due to the possibility to sell properties in a tax-efficient manner, and in part due to the time factor.

Income from property management

Castellum's operations are focused on cash flow growth from property management - i.e., growth in income from property management - with the objective of an annual increase in property management income by at least 10%. It is also the income from property management that forms the basis of what is yearly distributed to shareholders - at least 50% of the income from property management. Thus, changes in value has not been targeted since they are neither included in the basis for distribution, nor in any other base, e.g. the management's incentive program. To give an accurate picture of Castellum's view on its business operations, the statement of comprehensive income has been designed accordingly - i.e., changes in values (not affecting cash-flow) are presented after items affecting cash-flow. Furthermore, one performance measure has been added on which the business operations are managed and targeted: the income from property management.

Classification

Fixed assets and long-term liabilities consist of items that are expected to be regained or maturing more than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Current assets and short-term liabilities consist of items that are expected to be regained or settled in less than twelve months from the balance sheet date.

Consolidated financial statements

The Group's balance sheet and income statement include all companies where the parent company has direct or indirect control, which is obtained when Castellum achieves voting majority. All companies in the Group are wholly-owned except for a joint venture thst was acquired during 2015. In addition to the parent company, the Group comprises the subsidiaries listed in Note 23 and their respective sub-groups. The consolidated financial statements are based upon the accounts for all subsidiaries as of December 31. The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to the acquisition method. This means that shareholders' equity in the subsidiaries at the time of acquisition, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the assets and liabilities, is fully eliminated. The shareholders' equity of the Group includes only the part of shareholders' equity in the subsidiaries that has been earned after acquisition. CASTELLUM ANNUAL REPORT 2015 DIRECTORS' REPORT FINANCIAL REPORTS

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties who have joint control have the right to the net assets. Shares in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, which means that shares in a company are reported at acquisition value at time of acquisition and subsequently adjusted by the owner company's share of the change in the net assets of the investment object. The ownership company's results include the ownership company's share of the investment object's results.

The consolidated income statement includes companies acquired or sold during the year only for the time of possession. Intra-group sales, income, losses and balances are eliminated in the consolidated accounts. The accounts of foreign operations are translated to SEK by translating the balance sheet to the exchange rate at balance date - except for shareholders' equity which is translated at historical exchange rate. The income statement is translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Currency translation differences are recognized in other total income.

Income

Rental income

Rental income, which from an accounting perspective represents income from operating leases, is invoiced in advance and recorded as a linear allocation in the income statement, based on the terms in the lease. Rental income includes supplementary charges for the tenant, such as debited property tax and heating costs. Pre-paid rents are recorded as deferred rental income.

In cases where a lease during a certain period of time offers a reduced rent, corre-sponding to a higher rent at another point in time, this lower/higher rent is accrued over the leasing period. Pure discounts, such as reduction for successive moving in, are recorded in the income statement for the period in which they are given.

Income from property sales

Income from property sales is entered as of the contract date, unless there exist special conditions in the purchasing agreement. Sales of properties through companies are net accounted concerning underlying property price and calculated tax. The result from property sales is accounted for as a change in value and refers to the difference between the received sales price after deduction of sales costs, and the recorded value in the latest interim report with adjustment for capitalized investments after the latest interim report.

Financial income

Financial income consists of interest-rate income and is recorded as income for the period to which various financial revenues refer. Group contributions received and anticipated dividends are also recorded as financial income. In the calculation of financial income the effect interest method is applied.

Financial costs

Financial costs include interest and other costs that occur when borrowing money. Pledging costs for mortgages are not considered financial costs and are capitalized as property investments since it increases valuation. Financial costs are accounted for in the period which they refer to. Financial costs also include the interest cost for interest-rate derivatives. Payments for these interestrate derivatives are accounted for in the period to which they refer. Net financial items are not affected by market valuation of the undertaken interest rate derivatives. Instead, changes in market value of interest-rate derivatives are recorded as changes in value under a separate headline. The portion of interest cost originating from the construction period for major new constructions, extensions or reconstructions are capitalized. Interest is calculated based on the average interest rate level for the Group.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits are accounted for as employees perform services in exchange for remuneration. Benefits from incentive plans settled in cash and paid as non-pensionable salary are accounted for as the targets are met during the period of the incentive plan.

Pensions and other post-employment benefits are classified as defined contribution or defined benefit plans. The majority of the Castellum Group's pension commitments are defined contribution plans, fulfilled through regular payments to independent authorities or bodies which administer the plans. Obligations regarding payments to contribution plans are recorded as a cost in the income statement when they occur. A small number of employees within the Castellum Group have defined ITP-plans with regular payments to Alecta. These plans are recorded as defined contribution plan since Alecta does not provide the information needed in order to report the plan as a defined benefit plan. There are no indications of any significant liabilities in addition to what has already been paid to Alecta.

Income taxes

Income tax in the income statement is divided into current and deferred tax. Income tax is recorded in the income statement except when related to transactions recorded directly in equity. In these cases, related tax effects also are recorded directly in equity. Current and deferred taxes are calculated based on current tax rate, 22%.

Open claims in the income tax return that contain a certain degree of uncertainty are taken into consideration in the tax calculation at the earliest in the year after the fiscal year, after taxation has been assessed by the tax authorities.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recorded in Castellum, using the balance method, for all temporary differences between an asset's or a liability's book value and its tax-basis value. This means that there is a tax liability or a tax asset that falls due for payment on the date for which the asset or liability is realized. Exceptions are made for temporary differences that arise from the initial accounting for assets and liabilities relating to asset acquisitions. Castellum has two entries that contains temporary differences - properties and tax-loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets related to tax-loss carry forwards are recorded, since it is probable that future taxable income will be available, which may be utilized to offset tax-loss carry forwards. Deferred tax liability is calculated on the difference between the properties book value and their tax basis value. For changes in either of the two entries above, the deferred tax liability/tax asset is also changed, which is recorded in the income statement as deferred tax.

Castellum has recorded all company acquisitions completed during the year as asset acquisitions, meaning that deferred tax at the time of acquisition not is accounted for in the balance sheet.

Current tax

Current tax, the tax the company must pay on taxable income for the year, is recorded in the income statement. It includes adjustments for previous periods.

Leases

Leases where all crucial risks and benefits associated with the ownership fall on the lessor, are classified as operational leases. From an accounting perspective, all existing rental leases related to Castellum's investment properties are classified as operational leases. Refer to accounting principles for income and note 3 for futher information of accounting for leases.

Site leasehold is, from an accounting perspective, an operational lease. The ground rent is accounted for in the income statement for the period to which it refers.

There are a small number of leases of insignificant value, where Castellum is the lessee. These leases are also accounted for as operational leases and concerns mainly leased cars. Payments made during the leasing period are recorded as running costs in the income statement, distributed over the leasing period.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held for the purpose of generating rental income, capital appreciation - or both. This is opposed to utilization in the company's operations for production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes and sales in daily operations. All of Castellum's owned or ground-leased properties are classified as investment properties. If the Group starts an investment on an existing investment property for future use as an investment property, the property continues to be recorded as an investment property.

Valuation

Investment properties are initially recorded at acquisition cost which includes expenses directly related to the acquisition and are subsequently recorded at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. Fair value is calculated using an internal valuation model described in note 11. The note also describes the assumptions made as basis for the valuation. The valuation model is based on an earnings-based value, determined by calculating the net prevailing value of future cash flows. A differentiated required yield for each property depending on such factors as location, intended use, condition and standard is taken into consideration. In order to provide further assurance, part of the portfolio has been valued externally.

Changes in value

Changes in value are recorded in the income statement and consist of unrealized as well as realized changes in value. Unrealized changes in value are calculated based on the valuation at the end of the financial year compared with the previous year's valuation, or the acquisition value if the property has been acquired during the year, with the addition of capitalized subsequent expenditures. For properties sold during the year, unrealized changes in value are recorded and calculated based on the valuation at the latest interim report prior to the sale, compared to the valuation at the end of previous year with adjustment for capitalized subsequent expenditures during the period. Principals for calculation of realized changes in value is described in the principles for Income from property sales.

Subsequent expenditures

Subsequent expenditures which lead to economic benefits for the company, i.e., increase the valuation of the property and can be reliably calculated are capitalized. Costs for repairs and maintenance are accounted for in the income statement for the period in which they occur. For major new construction and reconstruction projects, interest costs during the construction period are capitalized.

Acquisitions and sales

For acquisition or sale of properties or companies, the transaction is entered as of the signing date, unless special conditions exist in the purchasing contract.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets comprise all equipment, which has been recorded at acquisition value, including deduction of accumulated depreciation according to plan and any write-downs. Acquisition value includes purchase price and costs directly related to the acquisition, e.g., transport-to-site and proper condition for utilization according to the purpose of the acquisition. Depreciation on equipment is based on historical acquisition values after deduction of subsequent write-downs. Residual value is assumed to be nonexistent. Depreciation of assets acquired during the year is calculated with reference to the date of acquisition. Depreciation is linear, which means equal depreciation during the period of use, normally five years, except for computers that are expected to have a three-year period of use.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet include assets such as cash-and-bank, lease receivables, other receivables and long-term receivables and liabilities such as interest and currency derivatives, accounts payable, other liabilities and loans.

Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value equivalent to acquisition value, with the addition of transaction costs, except for financial instruments which are recorded at fair value through the income statement, where transaction costs are excluded. Following the initial recognition, accounting is based on the classification made according to the criteria below. Financial transactions such as cash received or paid as interest and amortization are recorded on the settlement day of the bank holding the account, while other payments are recorded on the accounting date of the bank holding the account.

A financial asset is removed from the balance sheet when the rights are realized, expired or the company loses control of it. A financial liability is derecognized from the balance sheet when the contractual obligations have been paid or in some other way extinguished.

Cash and bank

Cash and cash equivalents could consist of the Group's available cash balances with banks and similar institutions, as well as by bank deposits with a residual maturity of no more than ten (10) banking days, short-term investments in treasury bills and bank and municipal bonds with a residual maturity of a maximum of three (3) months. At December 31, cash and cash equivalents consisted entirely of disposable bank balances.

Receivables

Financial assets which are not derivatives, that have fixed or predictable payments and that are not quoted on an active market, are recorded as receivables. In the Group there are mainly rent receivables and other receivables. After individual valuation, receivables have been recorded as the amount at which they are expected to be received. This means that they are recorded at acquisition value with deduction for receivables which are uncertain. Reservation for uncertain receivables is made when an objective risk assessment concludes that the Group might not receive the entire receivable. Receivables in the parent company consist only of receivables from the subsidiaries, and are recorded at acquisition value.

Liabilities

Liabilities refer to credits and operating liabilities such as accounts payable. The majority of Castellum's credit agreements are long-term. In cases where short-term credits are drawn under long-term credit agreements, the credits are considered long-term. The credits are recorded on the settlement date at accrued acquisition value. Deferred unpaid interest is recorded in accrued expenses. A liability is recorded when the counter-party has performed services and a legal obligation to pay exists, even if the invoice has not yet been received. Accounts payable are recorded when the invoice is received. Accounts payable and other operative liabilities with short duration are recorded at nominal value.

Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Swedish kronor (SEK) at the spot exchange rate of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the balance day rate.

Derivatives

Interest-rate derivatives are financial assets or liabilities which are valued at fair value, with value-changes recorded in the income statement. In order to manage exposure to fluctuations in the market interest rate according to the finance policy, Castellum has entered interest-rate-derivative agreements. When using interest-rate derivatives, changes in value may occur, mainly due to changes in market interest rates. Interest-rate derivatives are initially recorded in the balance sheet on the trade day at acquisition value. They are subsequently valued at fair value with value-changes in the income statement.

Changes in value can be realized as well as unrealized. Realized changes in value refer to redeemed interest-rate derivative contracts and constitute the difference between the price at the time of redemption and the recorded book value according to the latest interim report. Unrealized changes in value refer to the changes in value during the period for the interest-rate derivatives that Castellum held at the end of the period. Changes in value are calculated based on valuation at the end of the period, compared to the valuation in the previous year. They can also refer to the acquisition value if the interest-rate derivative agreements have been entered into during the year. For interest-rate derivatives that have been redeemed, an unrealized change in value is recorded and calculated based on the valuation at the latest interim report, prior to redemption, compared with the valuation at the end of the previous year. Payments made under these agreements are accounted for in the period to which they refer.

Financing of foreign investments can be achieved by raising loans in the functional currency of the company, and by entering into currency derivatives. Castellum apply hedge accounting of net investment in foreign operations in cases where currency derivatives are used. They are initially reported in the balance sheet at cost on trade date, and thereafter reported at fair value where the effective portion of the foreign exchange rate change regarding the hedging instrument is recognized in other total income, while the ineffective portion is recognized as change in value in the income statement. The balance date rate is used to determine real value.

The valuation of derivatives at fair value is adjusted for counterparty risk, i.e. CVA and DVA.

Shareholders' equity

Repurchased shares

Repurchased shares reduce shareholders' equity by the purchase price, including any transaction costs.

Dividends

Dividends are accounted for as a deduction of shareholders' equity, after decision by the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Anticipated dividend is accounted for as a financial income by the recipient.

Earnings after tax per share

Calculation of after-tax earnings per share is based on the Group's net income for the year pertaining to the shareholders of the parent company, and on the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the year.

Provisions

Provisions are liabilities which are uncertain regarding timing or amount. A provision is recognized when there are contractual obligations, court order or other legal grounds likely to involve future payments. The amounts are continuously reassessed. Liabilities due in more than one year are estimated using discounting.

Definition of segments

The Group's operations are organized, managed and reported primarily by geographical region. Segments are consolidated according to the same principles as the Group. Income and costs reported for each segment are actual costs and no distribution of common costs, assets or liabilities is made between the regions.

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method. Net profit or loss is adjusted for effects of non-cash transactions during the period as well as income or costs associated with the cash flow from investment or financing activities.

Differences in accounting principles between the Group and the parent company

The Annual Report of the parent company has been prepared according to the Annual Accounts Act and by application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities. RFR 2 states that a legal entity shall apply the same IFRS/IAS that is applied in the consolidated financial statements, with exceptions for and additions of rules and laws mainly according to the Annual Accounts Act, and with consideration to the relationship between accounting and taxation. Differences in accounting principles between the Group and the parent company are presented below.

Presentation

The income statement and balance sheet for the parent company are presented according to the Annual Accounts Act schedules.

Shares in subsidiaries

Shareholdings in subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent company according to the acquisition value method. The book value is regularly compared to subsidiaries' group equity. When the book value is lower than the subsidiaries' group value, a write-down is made in the income statement. Previous write-down no longer justified are reversed.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities for the benefit of subsidiaries are financial guarantees and are accounted for in accordance with RFR 2, i.e. they are not accounted for as provisions, but instead Castellum provides information in the notes.

New accounting rules and regulations

New and revised existing standards and interpretations, approved by the EU

New standards that came into force in 2015

The new standards that came into force in 2015 have not had any impact on Castellum's financial reporting.

New standards and interpretations that come into force in 2016

On December 18, 2015, the EU approved an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2016. The changes provide clearer guidance on materiality, aggregation and disaggregation of items, structure of the notes as well as information on accounting principles. The changes are not expected to have any material impact on Castellum. In addition, a package of minor changes, referred-to as annual update, was made regarding several recommendations. One of these – IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting – may have consequences for Castellum. The changes focus more on the design of interim reports than on the content itself and became effective January 1, 2016. CASTELLUM ANNUAL REPORT 2015 DIRECTORS' REPORT FINANCIAL REPORTS

Note 2 Segment reporting

The Group's reporting segments are the following geographical areas; Greater Gothenburg (incl. Borås, Halmstad, and Alingsås), Öresund Region (Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg and Copenhagen), Greater Stockholm, Mälardalen (Örebro, Västerås and Uppsala) and Eastern Götaland (Jönköping and Linköping).

The operational segments are identified by geographical field of activity, which is according to how they are followed-up and analyzed by the primarily executive decision maker in the Group. Greater Gothenburg is made up of two operational segments with similar economical characteristics and operations. The Group only manages commercial properties.

Note 3 Rental income

Rental value

Group rental income was SEKm 3,299 (3,318). Rental income consists of the rental value with deduction of the value of vacant premises during the year. Rental value refers to the rental income received and the estimated market rent of unlet premises. The rental value also includes supplementary charges for the customer, such as heating, property tax and an index supplement. Rental value SEK/sq.m. for the different regions and types of properties are shown in the table below. Rental levels have increased by 1% (1%) in comparable portfolio compared with previous year.

Renegotiation

Commercial leases, for which rents are paid quarterly in advance, are signed for a certain period of time, which means that a change in the market rents do not have an immediate effect on rental income. Rental levels can only be changed when the lease in question is due for renegotiation. The rental levels of Castellum are considered to be in line with the market.

Commercial leases include a so-called index clause, which provides for an upward adjustment of the rent, corresponding to a certain percentage of the inflation during the previous year or a minimum upward adjustment.

The lease maturity structure for Castellum's portfolio is shown in the table below, where lease value refers to annual value. An explanation of the relatively small portion in 2016 is that a majority of the leases maturing were already renegotiated in 2015 due to the period of notice. The most common terms for a new lease is 3-5 years with a nine months notice. The average remaining lease duration in the portfolio is 3.4 years (3.3).

Economic occupancy rate

Castellum's average economic occupancy rate during 2015 was 90.3% (88.7%). It was 90.2% (88.2%) for office and retail properties and 90.5% (89.7%) for warehouse and industrial properties. Total annual rental value for vacant premises during the year amounts to approx. SEKm 392 (417).

Rental income for the period includes a lump sum of SEKm 8 (10) as a result of early termination of leases.

Gross leasing, i.e. the annual value of total leasing, during the year was SEKm 316 (304), of which SEKm 55 (55) related to leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 298 (246), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 11 (12). SEKm 18 (36) related to notices of termination with more than 18 months left of the contract. Hence net leasing for the year was SEKm 18 (58). The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income is estimated to be 9–18 months.

Risk exposure and credit risk

Castellum's lease portfolio has a good risk exposure. The Group has approx. 4,500 commercial leases and 200 residential leases and their distribution in terms of size is presented in the table below. The single largest lease as well as the single largest customer accounts for approx. 2% of the Group's total rental income, meaning that Castellum´s exposure to a single customers credit risk is very low.

Rent receivables

Rents are invoiced and paid in advance which means that all the Group's rental receivables of SEKm 7 (13) are overdue.

Parent company

The parent company consists of only group-wide functions and the turnover mainly consists of intragroup services.

Note 4 Property costs

Property costs in 2015 was SEKm 1,074 (1,096), equivalent to SEK 316/sq.m. (307). The costs include both direct property costs such as costs of operation, maintenance, ground rent and property tax, and indirect costs such as leasing and property management.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses include costs as electricity, heating, water, facilities management, cleaning, insurance, rent losses and property-specific marketing costs. Most operating expenses are recharged the customers as supplements to the rent. For warehouse and industrial properties, however, customers are in most cases directly responsible for most of the operating costs. Operating expenses for 2015 were SEKm 507 (542), equivalent to SEK 149/sq.m. (146). Operating expenses, which are considered to be at a normal level for the business, are weather dependent which means that they vary between years and seasons. Energy consumption for heating during the period has been calculated to 88% (86%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics. Operating expenses includes rent losses of SEKm 6 (9) corresponding to 0.2% of rental income.

Maintenance

Maintenance costs are ongoing measures to maintain the property's standard and technical systems. The maintenance costs were SEKm 133 (136), equivalent to SEK 39/sq.m. (37).

Ground rent

Ground rent, including leasing fees, for 2015 totalled SEKm 27 (27), of which approx. half the amount relates to Greater Stockholm. Ground rent is the annual fee paid to the municipality by the owner of a building on land owned by the municipality. The ground rent is currently calculated in such a way that the municipality receives a fair real interest rate based on the estimated market value of the site. Site leasehold is spread over time and is mostly renegotiated at intervals of 10 to 20 years. At year-end 2015, Castellum had 81 properties with site leasehold. Existing site leasehold agreements mature relatively evenly over the next 60 years. When notice is given for a site leasehold the site owner (the municipality) is, in most cases, to compensate Castellum for buildings etc. There are, however, a few agreements where the municipality can demand that the land be restored.

Property tax

The Group's property tax was SEKm 172 (170), equivalent to SEK 50 sq.m. (48). Property tax is a state tax based on the property's tax assessment value. The tax rate for 2015 was 1.0% of the tax assessment value for office/retail properties and 0.5% for warehouse/industrial.

Leasing and property management

The Group's leasing and property management costs for 2015 were SEKm 235 (221), equivalent to SEK 72/sq.m. (68). Leasing and property management are indirect costs for ongoing property management, comprising the costs of leasing operations, rent negotiation, lease administration, rent debiting and collecting, accounting and project administration costs as well as depreciation on equipment in subsidiaries. Of the costs SEKm 134 (131) refers to employee benefits and SEKm 10 (10) depreciation on equipment.

Note 8 Changes in value

Investments properties

As in earlier years, the Swedish real estate market in 2015 was characterized by high activity and strong demand, resulting in lower required yield and consequently, higher property prices. During the year, the transaction volume amounted to SEK 145 billion, which is an historically high level – even though last year had a turnover totalling as much as SEK 160 billion. There was a strong interest for office and retail properties as well as for warehouse and logistics properties, and commercial real estate accounted for a total of approx. 77% (76%) of the transaction volume. Foreign buyers accounted for 27% (17%) of the acquisition volume, and this was noticeable for several major transactions concerning office, retail and logistics.

The market's required yield was reduced by an average 0.25 percentage points in internal valuations since year-end, to reflect the increase in prices observed in the Swedish real estate market. The change in value during the year amounted to SEKm 1,837 (344), corresponding to 4.6%. The increase in value consisted mainly of: SEKm 255 attributable to acquisitions, SEKm 203 attributable to project profits and SEKm 1,331 primarily due to reduced yield requirements. In addition, property sales resulted in a value change of SEKm 48. Net sales price amounted to SEKm 1,140 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs totalling SEKm 57. Hence the underlying property value, which amounted to SEKm 1,197, exceeded the last valuation of SEKm 1,092 by SEKm 105. As each property is valued individually, the portfolio premium that can be noted in the real estate market was not taken into account.

Total value growth net, including this years change, over the past 10 years have been 1.1% per year which is in line with inflation.

Derivatives

Castellum uses interest rate derivatives to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. If the agreed interest rate deviates from the market interest rate, irregardless credit margins, there is a surplus or sub value in the interest rate derivatives where the non cash-flow changes in value are reported in the income statement. Castellum also uses derivatives in order to hedge currency fluctuation in its investment in Denmark. For currency derivatives, a surplus or sub-value occurs if the agreed exchange rate deviates from the current exchange rate, where the effective portion of value changes is accounted for in other total income.

The value of the interest derivatives portfolio has changed by SEKm 220 (657), mainly due to changes in market long-term interest rates. The value of Castellum's currency derivatives has during the year changed by SEKm 20 (–17) where the effective portion of the value changes of SEKm 24 (–14) is accounted for in other total net income.

Note 9 Income taxes

The swedish income tax for limited liability companies is 22%. In the income statement, income tax is recorded as two entries, current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is based on the taxable income for the year, which is lower than the recorded net income for the year. This is mainly an effect of the possibility to use tax depreciation on buildings, to use direct tax deductions for certain reconstructions of the properties, which are capitalized in the accounts, and to utilize existing tax loss carry forwards.

Deferred tax is a provision for the future tax which will be paid when the properties are sold, and the depreciation for tax purposes and the capitalized investments deducted for tax purposes are reversed.

Swedish accounting legislation does not permit the presentation of properties at fair value in legal entities, meaning that changes in property values only occurs at Group level and thus not affect taxation. Some financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, might be recorded at fair value at entity level. In Castellum negative value changes on such instruments are a tax deductible item, while changes up to the acquisition cost of the instruments is a taxable income.

As shown in the table below, taxable income for 2015 is negligible, since Castellum uses the above mentioned depreciation for tax purposes and tax deductions for certain reconstructions while property sales mainly were made in the form of tax-free share transfers. Current paid tax occurs because a few subsidiaries are not allowed to make fiscal group contributions.

Tax loss carry forwards consist of prior year's tax losses. The losses, which are not restricted in time, are used to offset future taxable profits. Remaining tax loss carry forwards are estimated to SEKm 809.

Total tax may differ from nominal tax due to non-taxable/tax-deductible income/costs or as an effect of other tax adjustments. Total tax cost in Castellum's income statement is less than nominal tax. The effective tax on income from property management, without consideration of tax loss carry forwards, can be calculated to 3%.

Board remuneration

Board remuneration was decided by the Annual General Meeting 2015 to SEKk 2,440, of which SEKk 640 to the Chairman of the Board and SEKk 300 to each other Board member. Additional remuneration for committee work is totally SEKk 210. The amounts applies from the AGM 19-03-2015 to the AGM 17-03-2016.

Executive management

During the autumn the executive management has changed and at the yearend the executive management group consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Head of Business Development, the Chief Investment Officer and the six Managing Directors of the subsidiary companies.

Remuneration and benefits

Remuneration and benefits for the executive management are prepared by the remuneration committee and decided by the Board of Directors. The remuneration comprises a fixed salary and a variable remuneration according to an incentive plan described below. During the three-year period of the plan, the variable remuneration can amount to a maximum of three years' salary. The executive management, have an incentive plan that comprises two parts:

  • One profit-based part is based on income growth from property management compared to the previous year, as well as an overall estimation of development for certain individual factors. Full outcome requires that income growth from property management per share reach 10% per year. When growth is in the range 0–10%, a linear calculation of the incentive is made. The profit-based portion is paid out yearly as salary after the year-end closing and can total no more than six months' salary per year. The outcome for 2015 was 67%, representing a cost of SEKm 7.1 including social costs. The plan ended at the end of 2015.
  • One share-price-based part based on the total return on the Castellum share during a three-year period, both in nominal figures and compared with index for real-estate shares in Sweden, the Eurozone and Great Britain. For full outcome of the incentive plan, the total return must be at least 50% during the period and the total return has to exceed index development by at least 5 percentage points during the period. When growth is in the ranges 0–50% and 0–5%-points respectively, a linear calculation of the incentive is made. Any payments due are paid as salary after the measurement period of June 2014-May 2017. During the three-year period, the share-price-based part may total no more than one-and-a-half-years' salary, equal to a Castellum cost of SEKm 31, including social costs. As of December 2015, the outcome was 29%, representing a cost of SEKm 4.5 including social costs. Final reading and set-offs will occur in May 2017.

Executives in receipt of variable remuneration according to the incentive plan must acquire Castellum shares for at least half of the amount of the payment due after tax. The paid incentive does not affect pension contributions.

Pensions

Persons in the Executive management have defined contribution pensions with no other obligations for the company than to pay an annual premium during the time of employment. This implies that these persons, after completed employment, have the right to decide on their own, the time-frame during which the defined payments and subsequent return will be received as pension. The retirement age for the CEO and other members of executive management is 65 years.

Notice of dismissal

The period of notice shall, when given from the company, not exceed 6 months regarding the Managing Director and 12 months for any other member of the executive management of the company. When given by the Managing Director or any other member of the executive management of the company, the period of notice is six months. During the period of notice, salary and other benefits are paid, with deduction of salary and remuneration deriving from another employment or activity. No deduction will occur for the Managing Director. At the company's dismissal of the Managing Director, a severance pay of 12 months' fixed salary is paid which shall not be reduced as a result of other income that the Managing Director receives.

Pensions for other employees

Other employees in Castellum have defined contribution pensions, with no other obligations for the company than to pay an annual premium during the time of employment. This implies that these persons, after completed employment, have the right to decide on their own, the time-frame during which the defined payments and subsequent return will be received as pension. However, there is an exception for about 20 employees within the Castellum Group who instead have defined ITP-plans with regular payments to Alecta. Insurance premiums paid to Alecta during the year amounted to SEKm 1 (1). The surplus in Alecta may be distributed to the insurance holder and/or the insured. Alecta's surplus in the collective consolidation level as of December had not been made official at the time of signing of this annual report and can therefore not be reported. Alecta's latest official consolidation level was as of September 2015 148% (December 2014: 143%). The collective consolidation level is made up by the market value of Alecta's assets as a percentage of the insurance obligations calculated according to Alecta's assumptions for calculating the insurance, which do not comply with IAS 19.

Investments during the year

During 2015, Castellum investmented totally SEKm 3,553 (2,525), of which SEKm 1,232 (1,378) were new construction, extensions and reconstructions and SEKm 2,321 (1,147) were acquisitions. Of total investments SEKm 1,077 related to Greater Stockholm, SEKm 847 to Greater Gothenburg, SEKm 811 to Mälardalen, SEKm 533 to the Öresund Region and SEKm 285 to Eastern Götaland.

Significant obligations

Castellum has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of two newly built office properties: one in Hyllie, Malmö, for SEKm 327 with access estimated for April 2016; one in Hagastaden, Stockholm, for SEK 1.6 billion, with estimated access in February 2017. These properties are not reportedon until time of access because the agreements are conditioned by – for example – completion. Moreover, Castellum has commitments to complete initiated projects where the remaining investment volume amounts to approx. SEKm 1,300, in addition to amounts reported in the balance sheet.

Valuation model

According to accepted theory, the value of an asset is the net present value of future cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. This section aims to describe and illustrate Castellum's cash flow-based model for calculation of the value of the real estate portfolio. The value of the real estate portfolio is calculated in this model as the total present value of net operating income minus remaining investments on ongoing projects, during the next nine years and the present value of the estimated residual value in year ten. The residual value in year ten consists of the total present value of net operating income during the remaining economic life span. The estimated market value of undeveloped land and building rights are added to this. The valuation is thus under IFRS 13, level 3.

The required yield and the assumption regarding future real growth are crucial for the calculated value of the real estate portfolio, as they are the most important value-driving factors in the valuation model. The required yield is the weighted cost of borrowed capital and equity. The cost of borrowed capital is based on the market interest rate for loans. The cost of equity is based on a "risk-free interest rate" equivalent to the long-term government bond rate with the addition of a "risk premium". The risk premium is unique to each investment and depends on the investor's perception of future risk and potential.

Internal valuation

Castellum records the investment properties at fair value and has made an internal valuation of all properties as of December 31, 2015. The valuation was carried out in a uniform manner, and was based on a ten-year cash flow model, which was summarized above. The internal valuation was based on an individual assessment for each property of both its future earnings capacity and its required market yield. Valuations are made locally in each subsidiary and are quality assured by Castellum AB, which also has overall responsibility for both the process, system and for determining the macroeconomic assumptions.

Assumptions of cash flow

In assessing a property's future earnings capacity we took into account an assumed level of inflation of 1.5% and potential changes in rental levels from each contract's rent and expiry date compared with the estimated current market rent, as well as changes in occupancy rate and property costs. In the valuation, the economic occupancy rate gradually improves during the 10-years period and reaches 96%. Included in property costs are operating expenses, maintenance, ground rent, property tax, and leasing and property administration.

Vacancy 9% 10% 8% 9%
Direct property cost SEK/sq.m. 314 316 72 180
Property management SEK/sq.m 35 35 25 25

Assumptions of required yield

The required yield on equity is different for each property and based on assumptions regarding real interest rate, inflation and risk premium. The risk premium is different for each property and can be divided into two parts: general risk and individual risk. The general risk makes up for the fact that a real estate investment is not as liquid as a bond, added to the fact that the asset is affected by the general economic situation. The individual risk is specific to each property and comprises a complex weighted assessment which includes: property category; the town/city in which the property is located; the property location within the town/city with reference to the property category; whether the property has the right design, is appropriate and makes efficient use of space. Further considerations: the property's technical standard with regard to such criteria as choice of materials, the quality of public installations, furnishing and equipment on the premises and in apartments; as well as the nature of the lease agreements with regard to such issues as length, size and number of agreements. Properties owned by site-leasehold rights, where Castellum has a reset obligation under contractual agreement, are assigned an additional individual risk premium of 1.0%.

In order to calculate the required yield on total capital, an operating assumption of 5% has been made about the cost of borrowed capital. The required yield of borrowed capital comprises the real interest rate, plus inflation. The loan-to-value ratio is assumed to be 55%-65%, depending on the property category.

The required yield on total capital is calculated by weighing the required yield on equity and the cost of borrowed capital, depending on the capital structure. The required yield on total capital is used to discount the expected 10-year future cash flows; the residual value is discounted by calculating the return on total capital minus growth. Growth is set as equalling inflation, in order not to assume perpetual real growth.

The calculated required yield is then calibrated compared to the markets required yield. To get an opinion about the markets required yield Castellum follows completed transactions. In an inactive market within a certain area or for a certain type of property, Castellum compares the data from transactions completed in a similar area or for a similar type of property. In the absence of completed transactions the opinion is based on existing macroeconomic factors.

The average valuation yield for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects and undeveloped land, can be calculated to 6.5% (6.9%). Contracted rental levels are considered to be in line with the market levels.

Development projects and building rights

Development projects are valued using the same principle, but with reduction for remaining investment. Sites with building rights and undeveloped land have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value per square metre on average approx. SEK 1,700 per sq.m. (1,500).

The value of the real estate portfolio

The internal valuation indicates a fair value of SEKm 41,818 (37,599), corresponding to a change in value of 4.5% (0.9%). Of the value approx. SEKm 2,984 are properties hold through site leasehold rights, with a rental income of SEKm 304.

Uncertainty range and sensitivity analysis

A property's market value can only be confirmed when it is sold. Property valuations are calculations performed according to accepted principles on the basis of certain assumptions. The value range of +/– 5-10% often used in property valuations should be seen as an indication of the uncertainty that exists in such assessments and calculations. In a less liquid market, the range can be bigger. For Castellum, an uncertainty range of +/– 5%, means a range in value of +/– 2,091 SEKm which corressponds to SEKm 39,727–43,909.

The sensitivity analysis shown above illustrates how a +/- 1%-unit change in growth assumptions in future cash flow and required yield affects the valuation. The sensitivity analysis is however not realistic thus one isolated parameter rarely changes, since the assumptions made are linked together regarding cash flow and required yield.

External valuation

In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation, 161 properties - representing 56% of the value of the portfolio - have been valued externally by Forum Fastighetsekonomi AB. The properties were selected on the basis of the largest properties in terms of value, but they also reflect the composition of the portfolio as a whole in terms of category and geographical

Other capital contribution

Other capital contribution is shareholders´ equity contributed by shareholders.

Currency translation reserve

Currency translation differencies as a result of foreign operations.

Currency hedge reserve

Refers to the effective part of unrealized changes in value related to currency derivates used to hedge investments in foreign operations.

Retained earnings

Retained earnings relates to earnings earned in the Group. The Group's earlier depositions to the restricted reserves is also included in this item.

Restricted and non-restricted equity in the parent company

According to the Swedish Companies Act shareholders' equity is made up of restricted (non-distributable) and non-restricted (distributable) equity. Dividend to the share-holders may only be such that there after the distribution is full coverage for restricted equity in the parent company. Further, distribution of profits may only be made if it is justified with respect to the demands put on the amount of equity needed by the type of business, extent and risk of operations, company and Group consolidation needs, liquidity and financial position in general.

Retained earnings

During the year 2000, Castellum repurchased 8,006,708 of the company's own shares for a total of SEKm 194, equivalent to 4.7% of the total registered number of shares. Since then no repurchase of the company's own shares have been made.

Dividend

Dividend is proposed by the Board of Directors according to the rules of the Companies Act and decided by the annual general meeting. The proposed dividend, not yet paid out, for the financial year 2015 is SEK 4.90 per share, SEKm 804 in total. The amount is recorded as a liability after the annual general meeting has approved the dividend.

Net asset value

Net asset value can be calculated both long and short term. Long term net asset value is based on the balance sheet with adjustments for items that will not lead to any short term payment, such as in Castellum's case, interest rate derivatives and deferred tax liability. This means that shareholders' equity according to the balance sheet shall increase with SEKm 1,117 and SEKm 4,299 respectively.

Actual net asset value is equity according to the balance sheet adjusted for deferred tax liability. Present accounting principles states that the deferred tax liability shall be recognized at nominal, while the real deferred tax is substantially lower, due to the possibility so sell properties in a taxefficient way and the time factor. The present assessment is that the discounted real deferred tax liability is equivalent to approx. 5%, meaning that an additional SEKm 3,178 will be recorded in equity.

The value range of +/– 5-10% often used in property valuations should be viewed as an indication of the uncertainty that exists in assessments and calculations made. For Castellum a +/– 5% uncertainty range is equal to SEKm +/– 1,986 after tax.

Uncertainty range valuation of properties +/– 5% after tax +/– 1,986 +/– 12 * Estimated real deferred tax liability net has been calculated to 5% based on a discount rate of 3%. Further, assessments have been made that tax loss carry forwards are realized in 2 years with a nominal tax of 22%, giving a present value of deferred tax liability of 21%, and that the properties are realized in 50 years where 33% are sold directly with a nominal tax of 22% and that 67% are sold indirect through company disposals where the buyers tax discount is 6%, which gives a present value of deferred tax liability of 6%.

Capital structure

Castellum should have a stable capital structure with low financial risk, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.

In the balance sheet there is, besides shareholders equity, liabilities which in principle are both interest free and amortization free and therefore can be considered as shareholders equity. The real estate industry therefore uses loan to value as a key ratio for capital structure instead of solidity. For the same reason the net asset value can be calculated in different ways, which is shown above.

Castellum´s objective is based on growth in cash flow and is not directly related to the net asset value. The objective is an annual growth in cash flow, i.e., income from property management per share, of at least 10%. In order to achieve this objective, net investments of at least 5% of the property value will be made yearly. At the moment, this is equivalent to approx. SEKm 2,000. All investments shall contribute to the objective of growth in income from property management within 1-2 years and have a potential asset growth of at least 10%. Sales of properties will take place when justified from a business standpoint and when an alternative investment with a higher return can be found.

During 2016, current interest-bearing liabilities amounting to SEKm 4,866 (3,384) are due for payment. Since they are covered by unutilized long-term credit agreements, they are treated as long-term interest-bearing liabilities.

Note 16 Deferred Tax Liability/Asset

A realization of all assets and liabilities to book value for the Group and utilization of all existing tax loss carry forward would, as is shown in the table below, result in a taxable income of SEKm 21,430 (17,409), which with a tax rate of 22% is equivalent to a tax payment of SEKm 4,715 (3,830). Castellum has deferred tax of SEKm 416 (218) which relates to properties accounted for as asset acquisitions. According to present regulations deferred tax at the time of the accquistion shall not be accounted for in the balance sheet, which is shown in the table below.

The parent company reports a deferred tax asset of SEKm 78 (154) corresponding to 22% of the unutilized tax loss carry forwards of SEKm 354 (698).

Tax loss carry forward

Castellum´s tax loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2015 are estimated to SEKm 809 (1,193). The change is presented in note 9.

Surplus- and sub value of properties for tax purposes

When calculating the tax effect on a sale of all properties in the Group, the book value in the Group of SEKm 41,818 (37,599) must be compared to the residual value for tax purposes in the legal entity, which amounts to SEKm 19,579 (18,997). This means that if all of Castellum's properties were sold, the taxable net profit would exceed the recorded profit in the Group by SEKm 22,239 (18,602).

Other provisions relate to rental guarantees, with a maximum commitment to January 31, 2019, estimated to SEKm 14 (20) and other commitments in connection with the sale of real estate amounting to a maximum of SEKm - (3).

Note 18 Derivatives

Valuation

Castellum uses interest rate derivatives in order to manage the interest rate risk and achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. This strategy means that there may be changes in value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio from time to time. These value changes occur primarily due to changes in market interest rates. Castellum also uses currency derivatieves to provide financing in foreign currency, which are included in the derivative portfolio market value.

To calculate the market value of derivatives, market rates for each term and, where appropriate, exchange rates, as quoted on the market at the closing date are used. Interest rate swaps are valued by discounting future cash flows to present value while instruments containing options are valued at current repurchase price. When calculating the fair value of derivatives adjustments are made for counterparty risk such as Credit Value Adjustments (CVA) and Debt Value Adjustments (DVA). CVA shows Castelum's risk of experiencing credit loss in the event of counterparty default while DVA shows the opposite. The adjustment is calculated on counterparty level based on expected future credit exposure, risk of default, and recovery rate of exposed credits. As of December 31, 2015, the market value of the interest rate and currency derivatives portfolio amounted to SEKm –1,117 (–1,357) where fair value is established according to level 2, IFRS 13.. CASTELLUM ANNUAL REPORT 2015 DIRECTORS' REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTS

In the balance sheet derivates are accounted for as long-term liabilities since the amount will not be settled in cash. However, a theoretical maturing amount during 2016 can be mathematically calculated to SEKm 323.

Counterparty risk

In order to limit counterparty risk, Castellum's derivative transactions are covered by general agreement with netting clauses (ISDA). This allows Castellum to offset positive and negative market values in the event of default.

Currency derivatives with a market value of SEKm 7 is not included in the table above, since a change in the market interest rate has an unsignificant effect on the market value.

Note 19 Financial Risk Management

Financing

Real estate is a long-term asset requiring long-term financing allocated between equity and interest-bearing liabilities. From a security perspective, Castellum credits can be divided into the following categories:

  • Credits pledged by Castellum's receivables from subsidiaries, including mortgages
  • Credits directly to subsidiaries pledged by property mortgages. In the majority of cases, credits directly to subsidiary have also a guaranteed commitment from the parent company.
  • Unsecured credits
  • Issuing of bonds, without pledged security
  • Issuing of commercial papers, without pledged security

All types of credit agreements contain normal termination terms, and in some cases renegotiation terms for changes in business and delisting. If the lender calls for such renegotiation and the parties cannot agree, the credit agreements have established settlement times for the credit agreement subject to such terms. At the end of the year, utilized credits secured by pledged mortgages added up to SEKm 10,460. In addition to mortgages, the majority of credit agreements include commitments regarding loan-to-value ratio and interest coverage ratio, called financial covenants, stating a loan-tovalue ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%. If the 55% loan-to-value ratio is compromised, some agreements will suffer more expensive financing costs. In all cases, the guarantee to lenders is issued by a comfortable margin to Castellum's capital structure objectives.

Finance policy

Castellum's funding and management of financial risk are conducted in accordance with the finance policy adopted by the Board of Directors. Castellum is to run at a low financial risk with a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 55% in the long run and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. The financial operations in Castellum are to be carried out in such a way that the need for long- and short-term funding and liquidity is ensured. In addition, net interest expenses at each time will be optimized within the given risk authorization. The finance policy outlines overall authorization and how financial risk should be reported and monitored. Financial risks are monitored and reported quarterly to the Board. As part of continuously improving and adapting financial risk management, the Board conducts an annual review of the finance policy.

The parent company holds an internal auditing function, separate from the treasury department, which provides accounting and independent control of financial management and financial risks.

Financial risk management

Castellum carries out financial transactions based on estimates of the Group's overall long-term funding needs, liquidity and chosen interest rate risk. Hence, financial risk management is carried out on portfolio level. Portfolio management of funding means that an intra Group transaction, such as an internal loan, is not replicated by an identical external transaction. Instead, loans are drawn under short or long term credit agreements, based on the Group's overall funding needs.

For cost-effective management of the interest rate risk, an assessment is made of the interest rate risk that occurs when a payment is made or a new loan is drawn with short fixed interest term. Thereafter, interest-rate derivative transactions are made in order to achieve the desired fixed interest term on the total amount of debts. The internal bank works with a cash pool system of bank accounts for the Group's liquidity flows.

Funding risk

Demands for long-term funding make Castellum look for long-term capital in credit agreements in order to limit funding risk. To reach maximum flexibility, bank loans are mainly revolving, i.e. the credits are usually traded within 1–3 months. Short-term revolving loans facilitate amortization at every turnover occasion without any marginal breaking costs or other compensation to lenders. The objective is to minimize interest-bearing liabilities, and cash is therefore used primarily to repay outstanding debts.

In order to secure Castellum's need for liquidity and long-term funding, Castellum regularly re-negotiates and, when needed, enters into new credit agreements or forms of borrowing. At the end of the year, Castellum held binding credit agreements totalling SEKm 30,325 (26,065) of which SEKm 25,141 (22,357) were long-term binding and SEKm 5,184 (3,708) short-term binding. Of utilized long-term credits, SEKm 19,142 (19,357) were long-term binding credit agreements in bank and SEK 5,999 (3,000) were MTN. Of short-term credits, SEKm 1,527 (1,228) were short-term credits in bank, SEKm 500 (1200) MTN, and SEKm 3,157 (1,280) were outstanding commercial papers. At yearend, unutilized credit in long-term credit agreements amounted to SEKm 4,784, after deduction for outstanding commercial papers. Castellum thus has good credit access to enable financing of investments in new constructions, extensions, reconstructions and acquisitions.

During the year, credit agreements totalling SEKm 18,000 were renegotiated and/or extended and an existing overdraft was extended by SEKm 100. In addition, MTNs were issued for a total of SEKm 3,500 and SEKm 1,200 matured within Castellum's MTN program. In December, the scope for commercial papers was expanded to SEKm 5,000.

At year-end, the average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was 3.1 years (3.0).

Interest rate risk

Changes in market interest rates and credit margins affect net financial items. How quickly, and by how much, largely depends on the chosen fixed interest term. To limit the immediate impact of changes in market interest rates, Castellum has chosen to work with both short and long-term interest rate maturity structures. For the same reason, Castellum has chosen to enter credit agreements, issue commercial papers and MTNs with varying maturities. However, changes in both interest rates and credit margins will always have an impact on net financial items over time.

The interest coverage ratio is the financial measure that describes a company's risk level and resilience to changes in net interest. Castellum has the objective of an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. For 2015, the interest coverage ratio was 351% (318%). The average interest rate duration per December 31, 2015, was 2.5 years (2.8), the average effective interest rate was 2.9% (3.4%) and the average interest rate for the year was 3.0% (3.3%).

Margins and fees for long-term credit agreements are established with an average duration of 3.1 years (2.6).

Cash-flow effect on income for the next twelve months at an interest rate change of +/- 1% amounts to SEKm -78 and SEKm -30, respectively. Castellum is unable to take full advantage of negative interest rates because of interest rate floors in the credit agreements. Hence, there is a negative outcome, even at a reduction of the interest rate of 1%-point.

In the interest rate maturity structure, interest rate derivates are accounted for in the earliest time segment in which they can mature. Credit margins are distributed in the interval of the underlying loans.

Currency risk

Castellum owns properties in Denmark totalling a value of SEKm 954 (530), which means that the Group is exposed to currency risk. The currency risk primarily occurs when income statement and balance sheet in foreign currency are translated into Swedish currency. In cases where currency derivatives are used, Castellum applies hedge accounting for net investments in foreign operations. The transaction risk in the Group is insignificant and will primarily be managed by matching income and costs.

The impact on financial position due to an appreciation of SEK by 10% in relation to DKK is SEKm +21.

Proposed Distribution of Profits

The following funds are at the Annual General Meeting disposal:
Retained profits SEK 3,716,445,222
Net income for the year SEK
895,541,576
SEK 4,611,986,798
The Board of Directors propose that the retained profits be appropriated as follows:

Carried forward to the new accounts SEK 3,808,386,798
SEK 4,611,986,798

The company has 172,006,708 registered shares, of which 8,006,708 are currently the company's own repurchased shares and are not entitled to dividends.

The total dividend payment proposed above of SEK 803,600,000 can be changed if the number of the companys own repurchased shares changes before the record date for the dividend.

Statement regarding Proposed Distribution of Profit

Reasons

The group's equity has been calculated in accordance with IFRS standards, approved by the EU, as well as in accordance with Swedish law by application of the recommendation RFR 1 (Supplementary Accounting Rules for groups) by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The equity of the parent company has been calculated in accordance with Swedish law and by application of the recommendation RFR 2 (Accounting for Legal Entities) of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

The proposed distribution constitutes 52% of the group's income from property management, which is in line with the expressed objective to distribute at least 50% of the group's income from property management, having considered investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and overall position. The group's net income after value and tax changes amounted to SEKm 2,881. The distribution policy is based on the group's income from property management, and as a result non-affecting cash flow increases and/ or decreases in value of the group's properties and on interest and currency derivatives, do not normally affect the distribution. Such non-affecting cash flow profit or loss, have neither been taken into account in previous year's resolutions regarding distribution of profit.

The Board of Directors concludes that the company's restricted equity is fully covered after the proposed distribution.

The Board of Directors also concludes that the proposed distribution to the shareholders is justified considering the parameters in section 17 subsection 3, second and third paragraphs of the Swedish Companies Act (the nature, scope and risks of the business as well as consolidation needs, liquidity and overall position). Accordingly, the Board of Directors would like to emphasise the following.

The nature, scope and risks of the business

The Board of Directors estimates that the equity of the company as well as of the group will, after the proposed distribution, be sufficient in relation to the nature, scope and risks of the business. The Board of Directors has in this context considered, inter alia, the historical development of the company and the group, budgeted development, investment plans and the economic situation.

Consolidation needs, liquidity and overall position

Consolidation needs

The Board of Directors has made a general estimation of the financial position of the company and the group, and the possibilities to fulfil their obligations. The proposed dividend constitutes 17% of the company's equity and 5% of the group's equity. The group's loan to value ratio and interest coverage ratio 2015 amounted to 49% and 351% respectively. The expressed objective for the group's capital structure, implying a loan to value ratio which not permanently exceeds 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%, will be maintained after the proposed dividend. The capital structure of the company and the group is sound considering the prevailing conditions of the real property business. In light of the above, the Board of Directors concludes that the company and the group have all the necessary requirements to manage future business risks and also to carry potential losses. Planned investments have been considered when deciding on the proposed dividend.

Liquidity

The proposed dividend will not affect the company's or the group's ability to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner. The company and the group have good access to liquidity reserves through short-term as well as long-term credits. The credits may be utilised at short notice, implying that the company and the group are prepared to handle liquidity fluctuations as well as possible unexpected events.

Overall position

The Board of Directors has considered all other known conditions, which might affect the financial position of the company and the group, which have not been considered within the scope of the considerations above. In this respect, no circumstances have been found that indicate that the proposed dividend would not be justified.

Evaluation to actual value

Derivatives instruments and other financial instruments have been valued to the actual value in accordance with section 4 subsection 14 a of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The valuation has presented an undervalue of SEKm 871 after tax, which has affected the equity by the mentioned amount.

Auditors report

To the Annual Meeting of the shareholders of Castellum AB (publ), corp. id. 556475-5550

Report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of Castellum AB (publ) for the year 2015. The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included in the printed version of this document on pages 4–116.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual accounts in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and of the consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts and consolidated accounts based on ouraudit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31 December 2015 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31 December 2015 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. A

corporate governance statement has been prepared. The statutory administration report and the corporate governance statement are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

We therefore recommend that the annual meeting of shareholders adopt the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also audited the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Castellum AB (publ) for the year 2015.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for administration under the Companies Act.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assurance on the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and on the administration based on our audit. We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors' proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss, we examined the Board of Directors' reasoned statement and a selection of supporting evidence in order to be able to assess whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.

As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, in addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to determine whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director is liable to the company. We also examined whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.

Opinions

We recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the profit be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year.
