Henrik Saxborn, CEO Castellum
I am pleased to note that the second half-year of 2013 is off to a strong start for Castellum. Income from property management has continued to develop positively, and growth for an isolated third quarter amounted to 9%.
During the fi rst nine months of 2013, revenues increased by more than 6% compared with 2012 - which should be viewed in relation to the weak GDP growth and almost nonexistent infl ation. Costs have increased by 5%, mainly due to a higher property tax - most of which can be passed along as well as high winter costs for the fi rst half-year.
Net fi nancial items were positively affected by SEKm 35, as a result of a lower average interest rate level of 3.7% for the third quarter.
In all, growth in income from property management for the fi rst three quarters of 2013 amounted to 7%, equalling SEK 6.19 per share.
Net leasing is an important indicator of future growth. So far this year, the Castellum Group has signed 191 new leases, which has led to a positive net leasing of SEKm 81. It is primarily the new projects that continue to account for our net leasing increase.
Castellum has initiated yet another three fully leased projects in Gothenburg, Linköping and Stockholm. In Gothenburg, Castellum is building a logistics facility in close proximity to Landvetter Airport; and in Linköping, Castellum is participating in the development of the new
Market comments
Swedish economy
As expected, GDP growth in Sweden was weak during the second quarter, and the growth rate on an annual basis is calculated to barely 1%. Households and government consumption still account for the largest positive contribution to GDP growth, whereas investments and export contribute negatively.
Both the National Institute of Economic Research and the Riksbank hold the opinion that economic recovery will gain momentum toward the end of 2013. To support the economic upturn and help infl ation expectations rise to the goal of 2 %, the Riksbank chose to leave the repo rate unchanged at its September meeting. The Riksbank's assessment is that the repo rate will remain unchanged at its current low level for yet another year.

Rental market
Sorce: National Institute of Economic Research
There continues to be a steady demand for both new constructions and existing facilities, and rents remain stable. The pattern is the same for all Castellum regions, with just some local variations attributable to market vacancy and type of property. Generally, demand is greater for logistics and office facilities than for retail. city district - Djurgården through the construction of new retail premises. In Stockholm, Castellum continues development in the Smista area through new commercial property construction. These projects are all leased out on longterm leases.
In addition to the deve-
lopment of new projects during this period, Castellum has also acquired properties for a value of SEKm 185, and sold 12 properties for a value of SEKm 472. Sales have generated high profi ts, partly because Castellum sells properties in areas that are slated for development of housing and infrastructure.
Due to sales, as well as acquisitions combined with project profi ts, Castellum currently owns properties totalling a value of SEK 38 billion and has a loan-to-value ratio of 52%. I am also pleased to announce that we have had the opportunity to issue an additional SEK 1 billion in bonds on favourable terms in the third quarter. Together with a strong balance sheet and favourable earnings this enable Castellum's expansion through future investments for both existing and new customers.
Henrik Saxborn CEO
Property market
The Swedish property market is characterized by fi rm domestic demand. During this period, transaction volume amounted to SEK 65 billion (65) - of which Swedish players accounted for approx. 90% (80%). The commercial segment represents 65% (70%) of the transaction volume, and is hence in line with the previous quarter. Furthermore, increased activity outside major cities is noted also for the third quarter.
Castellum's assessment is that both demand and pricing remain stable in all markets and segments. For central Stockholm and Gothenburg, however, some increase in value has been recorded.
Interest and credit market
During this period, volatility in the interest-rate market has occasionally been high. This is mainly due to concerns for, and consequences of, actions taken by the world's central banks. However, the underlying trend is rising long-term interest rates. Market expectations are that short-term interest rates will remain at a low level for some time yet.
Access to credit is considered high, but uncertainty still prevails regarding future regulations and their impact on the credit market.
Business Concept Customers and organization
Castellum's business concept is to develop and add value to its real estate portfolio, focusing on the best possible earnings and asset growth, by offering customised commercial properties, through a strong and clear presence in fi ve Swedish growth regions.
Objective
Castellum's operations are focused on growth in cash fl ow, which along with a low fi nancial risk provides the preconditions for robust growth in the company, and offers shareholders a competitive dividend.
The objective is an annual growth in cash fl ow, 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 1,800. All investments shall contribute to the objective of growth in income from property management within 1-2 years and have a value potential of at least 10%. Sales of properties will take place when justifi ed from a business standpoint and when an alternative investment with a higher return can be found. In operations, there shall be an continuing focus on improved productivity and effi ciency.
Strategy for Funding
Capital structure
Castellum shall have low fi nancial risk, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.
Purchase or transfer of own shares shall be available as a method for adjusting the company's capital structure to the company's capital need and as payment or funding of real estate investments. Company-owned shares may not be traded for short term purpose of capital gain.
Dividend
At least 50% of pre-tax income from property management will be distributed. However, investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and fi nancial position in general will be taken into account. This implies that the growth of dividend will follow the growth of income from property management.
The stock and credit markets
Castellum will work for a competitive total return on the company's share relative to risk and also strive for high liquidity.
All actions will be made from a long-term perspective and the company will hold frequent, open and fair reports to shareholders, the capital and credit markets and 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 customers - a reflection of Swedish domestic economy
Castellum has approx. 4,600 commercial contracts, with good risk diversifi cation regarding geography, type of premises, length of contracts and fi elds of industry of the customer. The single largest contract corresponds to approx. 2% of Castellum's total rental income.
It is important that Castellum meets customers expectations. To follow up and evaluate efforts, an external customer survey is carried out annually, Satisfi ed Customer Index. The latest survey, that included offi ces, warehouses, industry and retail, continues to show consistently high marks for Castellum.
Commercial leases
Commercial leases are signed for a specifi ed period of time, generally 3-5 years, where the period of notice is 9 months. The leases normally include a base-rent and an index clause, which provides for an adjustment of the rent corresponding to a certain percentage or connected to the infl ation. Leases usually also contain supplements for the tenant's share of the property's total heating, cooling and property-tax costs.
Decentralized and small-scale organization
Castellum's operations are run in a small-scale organization consisting of six subsidiaries which own and manage the properties under their own brands. By having local roots, the subsidiaries forge close relationships with customers and develop thorough knowledge of the market situation and rental development within each market area.
Property management is mainly carried out by own personnel and in cases where external services are purchased, high demands are placed on suppliers in terms of quality, customer contact, service, ethics and environmental awareness.
Subsidiaries with strong brands
Castellum has six wholly owned subsidiaries which each engage about 40 employees. The subsidiary organizations are not identical but are in principle made up of a Managing Director, 2-4 market areas, business developers and 3-5 employees within fi nance and administration. Each market area employs one property manager with one assistant, one person working with leasing and 3-8 facility managers. Everyone has customer contact. The fl at organization provides a short decision-making process and creates a customer oriented and active organization.
Castellum subsidiaries operate under their own names, which are strong brands on each local market.
Engagement in the local markets
Castellum's subsidiaries are involved in the local business community through business associations where important contacts are taken with both current and prospective customers. Castellum, as one of the largest real estate owners on each local markets, also contributes to the regional development where local subsidiaries operate through co-operation with municipalities and universities/colleges.
Employees
Castellum works actively to hire and retain top-notch employees by offering a stimulating work environment, competence development and sharing of experiences both internally and externally.
Employee viewpoints on Castellum are monitored regularly and the survey carried out in 2013 continues to show a very high index, 86 on a scale of 100, which shows that the employees enjoy their working situation and have a high confi dence in the company and its management.
The Castellum group has approx. 265 employees.
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 fi nancial risk management) and overall IT/IS strategies, personnel and legal matters. Castellum AB has 19 employees.
The parent company takes active part in operations through involvement in subsidiary Boards.
Responsible business
Since 1995, Castellum has systematically been working with sustainability, i.e., developing the properties in those cities where the subsidiaries are present, creating a common set of values for actions towards employees, customers and vendors as well as actively working with environmental issues.
Environmental efforts are focused on effi cient energy consumption and improving the general environmental status of each property. Since the common Group objectives were set in 2007 (energy consumption to be reduced by at least 1% per sq.m. and year; carbon dioxide emissions reduced by at least 2.5% per sq.m.), decreases of 17% and 26% respectively have been achieved.
All new constructions must be environmentally classifi ed according to one of the following environmental classifi cation systems: Green Building, "Miljöbyggnad", Breeam or Leed. Castellum owns 97 of Sweden's 312 Green Building classifi ed building, one BREEAM certifi ed building and one building which are certifi ed according to the Swedish system "Miljöbyggnad".

Income, Costs and Results
Comparisons, shown in brackets, are made with the corresponding period previous year except in parts describing assets and fi nancing, where comparisons are made with the end of previous year. For defi nitions see Castellum's website, www.castellum.se
Income from property management, i.e. net income excluding changes in value and tax, amounted for the period January-September 2013 to SEKm 1,015 (953), equivalent to SEK 6.19 (5.81) per share - an increase of 7%. Income from property management rolling four quarters amounted to SEKm 1,317 (1,237) equivalent to SEK 8.03 per share (7.54) - an increase of 6%.
Income from property management per share
During the period, changes in value on properties amounted to SEKm 301 (56) and on derivatives to SEKm 440 (–83). Net income after tax for the period was SEKm 1,405 (714), equivalent to SEK 8.57 (4.35) per share.
Rental income
Group rental income amounted to SEKm 2,431 (2,285). For offi ce and retail properties, the average contracted rental level, including charged heating, cooling and property tax, amounted to SEK 1,268 per sq.m., whereas for warehouse and industrial properties, it amounted to SEK 759 per sq.m. Rental levels, which are considered to be in line with the market, have increased by 1% in comparable portfolio compared with previous year. This is mainly an effect of indexation and can be compared with the normal industry index clause (October to October), which amounted to 0.4% for 2013. Castellums higher index adjustment is explained by the Groups focus on index clause with minimum upward adjustment in the lease portfolio, which provides some protection against defl ation and a higher indexation than normal index adjustment clause in a low infl ation environment.
Rental value and economic occupancy rate
The average economic occupancy rate was 88.4% (88.5%). The total rental value for vacant premises on yearly basis amounted to approx. SEKm 464 (437).
The rental income for the period includes a lump sum of SEKm 11 (8) as a result of early termination of a lease.
Gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the period was SEKm 265 (235), of which SEKm 74 (53) were leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 184 (192), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 19 (24) and SEKm 9 (17) were notices of termination with more than 18 months remaining length of contract. Net lease for the period was hence SEKm 81 (43) and for the third quarter SEKm 19 (30). The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income thereof is estimated to be between 9-18 months.
Property costs
Property costs amounted to SEKm 819 (753) corresponding to SEK 303 per sq.m. (293). The increase is chiefl y an effect of higher costs of approx SEKm 35 for snow remowal and a colder fi rst half-year compared to previous year but also higher property tax due to increased tax values of 10% in average. Most of the property tax are charged the tenants, why the impact on earnings is marginal.
Consumption for heating during the period has been calculated to 104% (93%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics.

Central administrative expenses
Central administrative expenses totalled SEKm 67 (66). This includes costs for a profi t-and-share-price related incentive plan for 10 persons in executive management of SEKm 6 (8).
Net interest rate
Net interest items were SEKm –530 (–513). The average interest rate level was 3.7% (4.0%).
Net fi nancial incomes were positively affected by approx. SEKm 35 due to an average interest rate level decrease by 0.3% units.
Changes in value
The change in value in Castellum's portfolio during the period amounted to SEKm 301 (56), of which approx. SEKm 175 refers mainly to project gains but also acquisitions, approx. SEKm 45 refers to revaluation of individual properties regarding both cashfl ow, yield and value of building rights and approx. SEKm 80 refers to 12 sold properties. The net sales price amounted to SEKm 456 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs of SEKm 16 in total. Hence the underlying property price, which amounted to SEKm 472, exceeded the latest valuation of SEKm 376 with SEKm 96, mainly due to sales of properties with changed use as infrastructure and future residential development.
Since the demand and prices have been generally stable no general yield change has been made in the internal valuations during the period.
The value in the interest derivatives portfolio has changed by SEKm 441 (–85), mainly due to changes in long-term market interest rates. Castellum's currency derivatives, with purpose to hedge currency fl uctuations in the Danish investment, has during the period changed SEKm –2 (16) where the effective portion of the value changes of SEKm –1 (14) is accounted for in other total net income.
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 857 (1,610). Fair values for the properties exceed their fi scal value by SEKm 18,272 (17,412) of which SEKm 830 relates to the acquisition date 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 3,649 (3,310).
Castellum has entered into an agreement on extended co-operation with the Swedish Tax Authority. Castellum has no current tax disputes.

Net property investments
Property value
Internal valuations
Castellum assesses the fair value of the properties through internal valuations. These are based on a 10-year cash fl ow model with an individual assessment for each property of both its future earnings capacity and the required market yield. Projects in progress have been valued using the same principle, but with deductions for remaining investments. Properties with building rights have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value per square metre, on average approx. SEK 1,045 per sq.m. In order to ensure and validate the quality of the internal valuations, an external valuation – representing over 50% of the portfolio – is made every year-end. The difference between the internal and external valuations has historically been small.
Based on these internal valuations, property value at the end of the period were assessed to SEKm 37,505 (36,328), corresponding to approx. SEK 10,170 per sq.m.

Financing 30-09-2013
Castellum shall have a low financial risk, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.
Interest bearing liabilities
At the end of the period Castellum had binding credit agreements totalling SEKm 24,595 (23,361) of which SEKm 22,058 (20,262) were long term binding and SEKm 2,537 (3,099) were short term binding.
During the period SEKm 2,000 were issued under the MTN-program and an existing credit agreements of SEKm 2,000 has been extended.
After deduction of liquid assets of SEKm 176 (44), net interest bearing liabilities were SEKm 19,500 (19,050), of which SEKm 3,200 (1,200) were MTN and SEKm 1,110 (1,872) outstanding commercial papers.
Most of Castellum's loans are short-term revolving loans, utilized in long-term binding credit agreements in the largest nordic banks. This means great fl exibility in the choice of interest rate base, interest rate period and tied up capital. The MTN-program and the commercial papers are a complement to the existing funding in banks and broadens the funding base.
Long-term loan commitments in banks are secured by pledged mortgages and/or fi nancial covenants. Outstanding commercial papers and the MTN-program are unsecured.
The interest bearing liabilities amounted to SEKm 19,500 (19,050) of which SEKm 15,365 (15,917) were secured by the company's properties and SEKm 4,135 (3,133) unsecured. The proportion of used secured fi nancing was thus 41% of the property value. The fi nancial covenants state a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%, which Castellum fulfi ls with comfortable margins, 52% and 292% respectively. The average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was 3.6 years (4.1). Margins and fees on long-term credit agreements had an average duration of 2.4 years (2.8).

Castellum utilizes interest rate derivatives to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. Interest rate derivatives is a cost effective and fl exible way of extending loans with short term interest rates to achieve the desired fi xed interest term. In the interest rate maturity structure, interest rate derivatives 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
Castellum owns properties in Denmark with a fair value of SEKm 454 (435), which means that the Group is exposed to a currency risk. A currency translation risk is primarily related to when income statement and balance sheet in foreign exchange are translated into Swedish currency. In accordance with the fi nancial policy, between 60-100% of investments in foreign subsidiaries are to be fi nanced in local currency.
Interest rate and currency derivatives
According to the accounting standard IAS 39, derivatives are subject to market valuation. Castellum utilizes interest rate derivatives to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. If the agreed interest rate deviates from the market interest rate, there is a theoretical surplus or sub value in the interest rate derivatives where the non-cash-fl ow affecting changes in value are reported in the income statement. Castellum also has derivatives in order to hedge currency fl uctuation in its investment in Denmark. As for currency derivatives, a theoretical surplus/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. At maturity, a derivative's market value is dissolved in its entirety and the change in value over time has thus not affected equity.
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 fl ows to present value while instruments containing options are valued at current repurchase price, which is obtained from the counter-party.
As of September 30, 2013, the market value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio amounted to SEKm –675 (–1,116) and the currency derivat portfolio to SEKm 9 (11).

Accounting Principles
Castellum follows the EU-adopted IFRS standards and interpretations (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. Since the beginning of the year, Castellum applies the new layout of other net income in accordance with IAS 1. Information of items measured at fair value is disclosed in accordance with IFRS 13 where investment properties are classifi ed in level 3 and derivatives in level 2. Accounting principles and methods for calculations have remained unchanged compared with the Annual Report of the previous year.
Opportunities and Risks for Group and Parent Company
Opportunities and risks in the cash flow
Over time, increasing market interest rates normally constitute an effect of economic growth and increasing infl ation, which is thought to result in higher rental income. This is partly due to the fact that the demand for premises is thought to increase. This leads in turn to reduced vacancies and hence to the potential for increasing market rents. It is also partly due to the fact that the index clause in commercial contracts compensates for increasing infl ation.
An economic boom therefore means higher interest costs but also higher rental income, while the opposite relationship is true during a recession. The changes in rental income and interest cost do not take place at exactly the same time, which is why the effect on income in the short run may occur at different points in time.

Opportunities and risks in property values
Castellum reports its properties at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. This means that the result in particular but also the fi nancial position may be more volatile. Property values are determined by supply and demand, where prices mainly depend on the properties' expected net operating incomes and the buyers' required yield. An increasing demand results in lower required yields and hence an upward adjustment in prices, while a weaker demand has the opposite effect. In the same way, a positive development in net operating income results in an upward adjustment in prices, while a negative development has the opposite effect.
In property valuations, consideration should be taken of an uncertainty range of +/– 5-10%, in order to refl ect the uncertainty that exists in the assumptions and calculations made.

Financial risk
Ownership of properties presumes a working credit market. Castellum's greatest fi nancial risk is to lack access to funding. The risk is reduced by low loan-to-value ratio and long-term credit agreements.
Election Committee
At Castellum AB's Annual General Meeting held on March 21, 2013, it was resolved that the election committee should consist of the chairman of the board of directors plus a representative from each of the three largest ownership registered or otherwise known shareholders (as per the last trading day of August 2013). If any of these shareholders does not wish to appoint a member, the fourth largest shareholder should be consulted, and so on.

- Björn Franzon; appointed by Magdalena and Lászlo Szombatfalvy as well as Stiftelsen Global Challenges Foundation
- Johan Strandberg; appointed by SEB Fonder
- Charlotte Strömberg; the chairman of the board
In total, the election committee represents approx. 16% of the total number of shares and votes in the company. The election committee will appoint a chairman among its members.
The election committee's task for the 2014 AGM is to propose a chairman for the AGM, the number of members of the board of directors, members of the board of directors and chairman of the board of directors, as well as auditors. The election committee will also propose remuneration to members of the board of directors and the auditors. Finally, the election committee will propose principles for appointing the election committee for the 2015 AGM.
Shareholders are welcome to submit their proposals and views to the election committee by December 6, 2013, at the latest. Please send to Castellum AB, Att: Charlotte Strömberg, Box 2269, 403 14 Gothenburg, or by e-mail to [email protected].
