2 Castellum Interim Report January-September 2014 Castellum Interim Report January-September 2014
Henrik Saxborn, CEO at Castellum We continue to deliver
During the third quarter, Castellum continues to deliver in line with our ambitious growth objectives. Income from property management has increased by 10% during the fi rst nine months of 2014 – even though the stable Swedish economy has been affected by Europe's weak development and geopolitical turmoil.
Our income from property management is the result of a focus on generating cash fl ow growth with low risk. I note that our model also works in a zero infl ation environment. One reason for why it works is our contract structure, with leases designed to withstand weaker macroeconomic cycles.
Effi cient management – which I sometimes call the "daily slogging" of our highly empowered employees – enables us to reduce operating expenses. Lower interest rates also have a positive impact on net income.
On September 30, the total value of Castellum's real estate portfolio amounted to approx. SEK 40 billion – an increase of about SEK 2 billion since the beginning of the year. This was achieved partly by net investments totalling SEKm 1,612, and partly by positive changes in value and project profi ts. Our strategy is to work with low fi nancial risk. The loan-to-value ratio, which is not to exceed 55%, was 52% at the end of the third quarter.
During the latest quarter, we acquired a further SEKm 500 in MTNs (Medium Term Notes). This means that we have now gained further manoeuvring space: Today we have unused long-term credits amounting to SEK 1.1 billion are long-term.
After this reporting period, Hansa in central Malmö was sold. The property mainly consists of a shopping mall and housing – segments that Castellum does not prioritize. Our current focus is to structure Castellum's portfolio to obtain growth in the longer term. It is against this background that the sale of Hansa should be seen.
We're now focusing on those transactions where properties with lower growth are exchanged for objects within Sweden's fastest growing regions. In the short term, this may mean that we make acquisitions with slightly lower yields than traditionally – but with far greater future potential. I am confi dent that this process can be implemented without negatively affecting Castellum's positive development in income from property management.
During the quarter has some personal changes in the senior management been done. On October 7, Ulrika Danielsson entered her newly created position as CFO of Castellum with the mandate to coordinate fi nancing issues and capital-structure
considerations. Ola Orsmark and Cecilia Fasth have entered as CEOs at Fastighets AB Briggen and Eklandia Fastighets AB, respectively.
Looking ahead, I can note that right now we are operating on three strong markets:
- The rental market, which is characterized both by low vacancy rates in the central parts of our operating districts, and by low new-construction volumes.
- The real estate market, which is characterized by strong demand in Sweden.
- The fi nancial market, which continues to provide good access to capital at a reasonable interest rate.
I see a change occurring in net leasing in the rental market. Last year, the increase in net leasing was primarily due to our ongoing projects. Our existing properties now contribute the high fi gures, and this will lead to lower vacancy rates in the future.
Castellum will continue to deliver growth in income from property management by increasing its portfolio turnover rate as well as by further developing the portfolio and investing in regions where Sweden is growing. I'm convinced that by continuing to build Castellum on the concepts of quality and density we are heading in the right direction. Furthermore, our clear dividend policy means that shareholders know precisely how Castellum's property management income will be distributed.
On rolling four quarters, the Castellum share yield has been 25% – dividends included.

Market comments
Swedish economy
The Swedish economy showed increased activity during the second quarter and continues to improve. However, the economic picture is divided between a strong domestic demand, which provides growth, and an export market – normally the major driving force for Swedish economic recovery – which is developing slowly. The slow export market is partly due to weak development in some parts of the world, where geopolitical turmoil has further dampened the mood.
The labour market will be positively impacted by the stronger economy and is currently showing steady improvement. Employment and labour supply are increasing at a similar pace. However, despite a stronger economic situation, infl ationary pressures are assumed to remain low.
Macro indicators
| Unemployment | 7.4% | (August 2014) |
|---|---|---|
| Inflation | –0.4% | (September 2014 compared to September 2013) |
| GDP growth | 2.6% | (Q2 2014 compared to Q2 2013) |
| Source: SCB |
Rental market
On the whole, the rental market is positive, with stable demand and unchanged or increased rental levels in markets with low vacancy rates. However, an increase in demand is noted in some geographic markets and real estate products, such as newly constructed offi ce space in prime locations and fl exible warehouse and logistics facilities. Construction of new offi ce space in Gothenburg and Stockholm was in line with the previous year, but the assessment is that there is still margin for further new construction. A slight increase in new construction is noted for Castellum's markets outside the major urban regions. It is an increase from low levels and consequently, no risk of oversupply was considered to exist.
Property market
During the period, real estate market activity is the highest since 2008, and the transaction volume for the first three quarters of the year amounted to approx. SEK 90 billion (65). A widened interest in geographic markets and segments could also be noted. This resulted in higher activity outside the central areas of major urban regions. For example, greater focus is placed on projects and hotels, and an increase in diverse portfolio transactions. The strong demand is due to improved opportunities of raising capital and increased propensity for risk.
Swedish real estate companies dominated the buyer side, and Swedish real estate investors accounted for about 87% (90%) of the volume. Office properties were still the largest single segment, and commercial properties accounted for approx. 75% (65%) of the total transaction volume.
Castellum notes that an increase in value in several geographic markets and segments is seen for the first three quarters of 2014. However, pricing as a whole is considered to have remained unchanged since the previous quarter.
Interest and credit market
At their meeting in September, the Swedish Riksbank decided to hold the repo rate unchanged at 0.25% in order to help push the current low infl ation rate towards the infl ation target of 2%. For this to succeed, the repo rate needs to remain low for a considerable time to come. The Swedish Riksbank does not deem it appropriate to begin raising the repo rent until the end of 2015.
The Stibor interest rate – signifi cant for Castellum operations – dropped during the fi rst half-year and then again when the Swedish Riksbank cut the repo rate in early July. Since then, the Stibor rate has remained virtually unchanged, whereas long-term rates have kept falling since the beginning of the year.
Both the availability of bank fi nancing and credit market fi nancing are considered to be good. During the year, credit margins in the capital market have fallen while credit margins for bank fi nancing are expected to remain stable.
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 2014 to SEKm 1,112 (1,015), equivalent to SEK 6.78 (6.19) per share - an increase with 10%. Income from property management rolling four quarters amounted to SEKm 1,443 (1,317) equivalent to SEK 8.80 per share (8.03) - an increase of 10%.
During the period, changes in value on properties amounted to SEKm 354 (301) and on derivatives to SEKm –498 (440). Net income after tax for the period was SEKm 773 (1,405), equivalent to SEK 4.71 (8.57) per share.
Rental income
Group's rental income amounted to SEKm 2,496 (2,431). For offi ce and retail properties, the average contracted rental level, including charged heating, cooling and property tax, amounted to SEK 1,272 per sq.m., whereas for warehouse and industrial properties, it amounted to SEK 772 per sq.m. Rental levels, which are considered to be in line with the market, have in 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 2014. 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 defl ation and a higher than usual indexation in a low infl ationary environment.
The average economic occupancy rate was 88.4% (88.4%). The total rental value for vacant premises on yearly basis amounted to approx. SEKm 475 (464).
The rental income for the period includes a lump sum
Rental value and economic occupancy rate
Gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the period was SEKm 241 (265), of which SEKm 49 (74) were leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 166 (184), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 12 (19) and SEKm 2 (9) were notices of termination with more than 18 months remaining length of contract.
Net lease for the period was hence SEKm 75 (81) and for the third quarter isolated SEKm 2 (19).
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 798 (819) corresponding to SEK 293 per sq.m. (303). Consumption for heating during the period has been calculated to 81% (104%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics.

Central administrative expenses
Central administrative expenses totalled SEKm 79 (67). This includes costs for a profi t-and-share-price related incentive plan for 10 persons in executive management of SEKm 13 (6).
Net interest
Net interest items were SEKm –507 (–530). The average interest rate level was 3.4% (3.7%). Net fi nancial income was positively affected by approx. SEKm 50 due to the average interest rate level decrease by 0.3%-units. Other effects on the interest cost can be explained by a larger credit portfolio.
Changes in value
The real estate market the third quarter is characterized by continued high activity and strong demand. The general increase in prices that was noted during the fi rst half year remains, and the downward adjustment of the average valuation yield of 0.1% in the internal valuations remains fi rm. This, together with acquisition gains, project gains and individual adjustments on property level has resulted in a change in value totaling SEKm 350. The sale of 6 properties adds another change in value of SEKm 4. Net sales price amounted to SEKm 240 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs of SEKm 16. Hence the underlying property value, which amounted to SEKm 256, exceeded last valuation of SEKm 236 with SEKm 20.
The value in the interest derivatives portfolio has changed by SEKm –497 (441), mainly due to changes in long-term market interest rates. Castellum's currency derivatives, with the purpose to hedge currency fl uctuations in the Danish investments, has during the period changed SEKm –8 (–2) where the effective component of the value changes of SEKm –7 (–1) 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
Income from Property Management per share Income over time
SEKm 1,089 (921). Fair values for the properties exceed their fi scal value by SEKm 19,646 (18,570) of which SEKm 896 (830) 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 3,885 (3,700).
Castellum has no current tax disputes.
In June, the Swedish Committee on Corporate Taxation published its main proposal "Neutral corporate tax - for increased effi ciency and stability". One of the key issues is the limited deductibility of fi nancial expenses. For Castellum, this limitation means, everything else equal, and notwithstanding the sale of real estate, value changes of derivatives and the use of tax-loss carry forwards, higher paid taxes of about SEKm 100 annually. The fi nal report is currently open for comments and the committee proposes effect as of January 1, 2016.

Real Estate Portfolio
The real estate portfolio is located in Greater Gothenburg, the Öresund Region, Greater Stockholm, Mälardalen and Eastern Götaland. The main focus, which represents approx. 73% of the portfolio, is in the three major urban regions.
The commercial portfolio consists of 65% offi ce and retail properties as well as 30% warehouse and industrial properties. The properties are located from inner city sites (except in Greater Stockholm from inner suburbs) to wellsituated working-areas with good means of communication and services. The remaining 5% consist of projects and undeveloped land.
Castellum owns approx. 800,000 sq.m. of unutilized building rights and ongoing projects with remaining investments of approx. SEKm 900.
Investments
During the period, investments totalling SEKm 1,852 (1,330) were carried out, of which SEKm 998 (1,145) were new constructions, extensions and reconstructions and SEKm 854 (185) were acquisitions. Of the total investments SEKm 1,089 refers to Greater Gothenburg, SEKm 284 to Mälardalen, SEKm 195 to Greater Stockholm, SEKm 163 to Eastern Götaland and SEKm 121 to the Öresund Region. After sales of SEKm 240 (456) net investments amounted to SEKm 1,612 (874).

Property value
Internal valuations
Castellum assesses the value of the properties through internal valuations, as at the year end, corresponding to level 3 in IFRS 13.
The valuations are based on a 10-year cash fl ow based model with an individual valuation 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 1,100 (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 39,733 (37,752), corresponding to SEK 10,621 per sq.m.

Financing
Castellum shall have a low fi nancial risk, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. Castellum's assets had on September 30, 2014, a value of SEKm 40,257 (38,113) and are fi nanced by shareholders´s equity of SEKm 13,207 (13,127), deferred tax liabilities of SEKm 3,885 (3,700), interest bearing liabilities of SEKm 20,761 (19,481) and non interest bearing liabilities of SEKm 2,404 (1,805).
Interest bearing liabilities
At the end of the period Castellum had binding credit agreements totalling SEKm 26,080 (24,300) of which SEKm 21,656 (21,859) was long term binding and SEKm 4,424 (2,441) short term binding.
During the period SEKm 1,000 were issued under the MTN-program and a new credit agreement of SEKm 500 were signed.
After deduction of cash of SEKm 174 (70), net interest bearing liabilities were SEKm 20,587 (19,411), of which SEKm 4,200 (3,200) were MTN and SEKm 1,297 (1,014) 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. Bonds issued under the MTN program and the commercial papers are a complement to the existing funding in banks and broadens the funding base. At the end of the period the fair value of the liabilities is in principle in line with the value accounted for.
Long-term loan commitments in banks are secured by pledged mortgages in poperties and/or fi nancial covenants. Outstanding commercial papers and bonds under the MTN-program are unsecured.
Net interest bearing liabilities amounted to SEKm 20,587 (19,411) of which SEKm 15,090 (15,197) were secured by the company's properties and SEKm 5,497 (4,214) unsecured. The proportion of used secured fi nancing was thus 38% of
the property value. The fi nancial covenants state a loan-tovalue ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%, which Castellum fulfi ls with comfortable margins, 52% and 319% respectively. The average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was years 2.8 (3.4). Margins and fees on long-term credit agreements had an average duration of 1.8 years (2.4).

Interest rate maturity structure
In order to secure a stable and low net interest cash fl ow the interest rate maturity structure is distributed over time. The average fi xed interest term on the same date was 2.6 years (2.7). The average effective interest rate as per September 30, 2014 was 3.2% (3.5%).
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 value of SEKm 488 (466), which means that the Group is exposed to a currency risk. The currency 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
Castellum utilizes interest rate derivatives to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. According to the accounting standard IAS 39, derivatives are subject to
Castellum's financial policy and commitments in credit agreements
market valuation. 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-cashfl 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.
As of September 30, 2014, the market value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio amounted to SEKm –1,184 (–687) and the currency derivative portfolio to SEKm –4 (4). All derivatives are, as at the year end, classifi ed in level 2 according to IFRS 13.

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. Accounting principles and methods for calculations have remained unchanged compared with the Annual Report of the previous year except for IFRIC 21. IFRIC 21 states that levies, for Castellum property taxes, shall be recognized when the obligation arises which occurs annually on January 1. Unconsumed share of the liability is recognized as prepaid costs. The change has no affect on profi t.
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 expected 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 increased 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 the exact 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 upwarded 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 a low loan-to-value ratio and long-term credit agreements.
Event after the reporting period
As previously announced, Castellum has through the wholly owned subsidiary Fastighets AB Briggen, sold the Hansa shopping mall in central Malmö for SEKm 609. The change of possession will take place October 17, 2014.
Election Committee
At Castellum AB's Annual General Meeting held on March 20, 2014, it was resolved that the election committee for the 2015 AGM 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 2014). If any of these shareholders does not wish to appoint a member, the fourth largest shareholder should be consulted, and so on.
Castellum's chairman of the board has now contacted the largest shareholders, and the election committee hereby consists of:
- Rutger van der Lubbe; appointed by Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP
- Björn Franzon; appointed by Magdalena 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. 17% 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 2015 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. The election committee will also propose remuneration to members of the board of directors. Finally, the election committee will propose principles for appointing the election committee for the 2016 AGM.
Shareholders are welcome to submit their proposals and views to the election committee by December 5, 2014, at the latest. Please send to Castellum AB, Att: Charlotte Strömberg, Box 2269, 403 14 Gothenburg, or by e-mail to [email protected].
The Election Committee's proposals will be announced in the notice for the 2015 Annual General Meeting and on the company's website. The Annual General Meeting for Castellum AB is planned to be held on March 19, 2015.

Distribution of shareholders by country 30-09-2014
The Castellum share price as at 30 September, 2014 was SEK 109.80 (91.65) equivalent to a market capitalization of SEK 18.0 billion (15.0), calculated on the number of outstanding shares.
During the period a total of 89 million (84) shares were traded, equivalent to an average of 473,000 shares (445,000) per day, corresponding on an annual basis to a turnover rate of 72% (68%). The share turnover is based on statistics from NASDAQ, Chi-X, Burgundy, Turquoise and BATS Europe.
Net asset value
Net asset value is the total equity which the company manages to its owners by creating return and growth given a certain level of risk.
The long term net asset value (EPRA NAV) can be calculated to SEK 111 per share (104). The share price at the end of the year was thus 99% (88%) of the long term net asset value.
| Net asset value | SEKm | SEK/share |
|---|---|---|
| Equity according to the balance sheet | 13,207 | 81 |
| Reversed | ||
| Derivatives according to balance sheet | 1,188 | 7 |
| Deferred tax according to balance sheet | 3,885 | 23 |
| Long term net asset value (EPRA NAV) | 18,280 | 111 |
| Deduction | ||
| Derivatives as above | – 1,188 | – 7 |
| Estimated real liability, deferred tax 5.0%* | – 914 | – 5 |
| Actual net asset value (EPRA NNNAV) | 16,178 | 99 |
* 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 3 years with a nominal tax of 22%, giving a present value of deferred tax liability of 20.7%, 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 5.8%.
Earnings
Income from property management adjusted for nominal tax attributable to income from property management (EPRA EPS) amounted to 8.41 (7.79) on rolling annual basis. This results in a share price yield of 7.7% (8.2%). Net income after tax amounted on rolling annual basis to SEK 6.55 per share (13.20), which from the share price gives a yield of 6.0% (14.4%).
Dividend yield
The latest carried dividend of SEK 4.25 (3.95) corresponds to a yield of 3.9% (4.3%) based on the share price at the end of the period.
Total share yield
During the last 12-month period the total yield of the Castellum share has been 25% (8%), including a dividend of SEK 4.25.
Net asset yield including long-term change in value
In companies managing real assets, such as real estate, the income from property management only refl ects part – albeit a large part – of the overall result. The defi nition of a real asset is that its value is protected. This means that over time – and with proper maintenance – the real asset increases in value to compensate for infl ation.
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 fi gure of the yield, 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 fl ow and a balanced real estate portfolio, Castellum is able to make use of long-term value changes.
