Henrik Saxborn, CEO Castellum Dare to make changes – even when successful

In March, I took over as CEO of Castellum after Håkan Hellström. Håkan left behind a well-managed real estate company, localized to strong growth regions with wellmaintained properties in attractive locations. Moreover, Håkan left a company that had increased its income from property management and raised its dividend for 16 consecutive years.

I've been on board as vice president for the last 7 years and I am very confi dent that this positive trend of growth will continue. I'm happy to announce that we can add 2013 to the list of successful years. Last year, we successfully managed to increase income from property management by 7% and the board proposes a increase in dividend by 8%. We achieved this despite the fact that the external factors were not optimal: an almost non-existent GDP growth as well as an infl ation that hovered around zero at year end. In addition to the positive impact on income from past investments and guaranteed indexation of leases, we also benefi tted from a lower average interest rate.

Biggest challenge for continued growth

The key challenge is to drive changes based on our strong tradition of the company. We will continue to make investments primarily in Swedish growth regions. We will and can be a signifi cant player in the growth regions, and will exert an impact on the urbanplanning process - we will not only manage and build commercial properties. We will develop cities.

The proportion between new construction and acquisition will always, at any given time, depend on the market and our risk assessment. During 2013, Castellum's net investments amounted to more than SEK 1 billion. During the year, we were somewhat more active on the sell side compared with the last few years. This refl ects strenuous efforts to constantly adjust and optimize our portfolio in relation to growth conditions. The ambition is to continue annual net investments worth approx. SEK 2 billion; where roughly half of the investments cover new projects and the other half will be spent on acquisitions. This investment rate means that each successive year, Castellum will build "a small real estate company".

Sustainability leads to profitability!

I see several other long-term factors that currently reinforce Castellum's strong potential. There is potential for growth in our vacancies, and our efforts during the year to reduce the number of vacancies have led to a strong net leasing of SEKm 105. Our leasing work continues with great intensity.

Our 4,600 customers are distributed across Swedish commercial and business life, and they come from most industries of all sizes within Sweden's growth regions.

In our various companies and market sectors, we see a direct and clear correlation between the job satisfaction of our skilled employees and satisfi ed customers. In turn, satisfi ed customers generate more transactions. We regularly measure customer satisfaction levels, and the results are consistently high. That 96% gladly recommend us as landlord to other is a strong proof of

our emplyees good work.

We believe that there will be increasingly important to Sustainability Performance in business valuations. In 2013, our energy consumption was reduced by 5% and carbon emissions were reduced by 8% – per square metre. Sustainable new constructions are the order of the day – an obvious business choice. Just like our increasingly strong focus on sustainable, long-term strategies and an ethical approach.

Strong fi nances provide freedom of action

Last but not least: thanks to our strong balance sheet, Castellum enjoys great

One of the main ideas when founding Castellum was to run the business with lower risk-taking compared with the industry average. And we intend to continue doing so. On closing day, the Castellum Asset side had a real estate portfolio worth SEK 38 billion. The portfolio is funded by shareholders' equity that we are set to manage; i.e. the long-term net asset value totalling SEK 18 billion (equivalent to SEK 107 per share) as well as interest-bearing liabilities of SEK 19 billion. This implies a loan-to-value ratio of 52%. It is gratifying to note that in 2013 we have managed to issue bonds to a value of SEK 2 billion, and this has provided us with more freedom of action.

Steady growth with low risk

Steady growth with low risk-taking is one of the fundamental ideas behind Castellum. It was therefore satisfying when the total share yield over the past 10 years amounted to 13% per year which is on par with stock market. The total share yield for 2013 amounted to 13%.

Looking ahead, I see a solid, well-functioning real estate market with stable property prices over the next year. Expectations are that 2014 will be yet another year of weak GDP growth, resulting in a marginal increase in rental levels, a stable cost structure and continued low interest rates. In this macro-economic environment, I believe in continued improvement for Castellum's property-management income – thanks to our investment strategies and continued growth, alongside the increased prosperity of current and new customers.

Henrik Saxborn CEO

Customers and Organization

Customers - a reflection of the domestic Swedish 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.

Satisfied customers

It is important that Castellum meets customers expectations. To follow up and evaluate activities, an external customer survey is carried out annually, Satisfi ed Customer Index.

The survey carried out in 2013 - which included offi ces, warehouses, industry and retail - showed continued consistently high marks for Castellum, with a weighted index of 76. This is higher than the industry benchmark. A signifi cant portion of the surveyed customers - 96% - reply that they want to lease from Castellum again and gladly recommend Castellum as a landlord to others.

Leasing activity

Castellum's leasing activity is high. During 2013 the organization signed 716 new leases with a total annual value of SEKm 366. Robust leasing activities indicate the importance of taking care of customers and networks. Of the newly signed lease volume, 75% came from Castellum's own networks, recommendations or existing customer expansions, while 15% originated from web pages, and the remaining 10% came through agents.

Decentralized and small-scale organization near the customers

Castellum's operations are run by six subsidiaries which own and manage the properties. By having local roots, the subsidiaries forge close relationships with customers and short decision making processes. Customers can thereby be offered premises suited to their needs and benefi t from optimal personal service and quick response.

Castellum's subsidiaries engage about 40 employees each. 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 3-9 facility managers. Everyone has customer contact.

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

Subsidiaries with strong brands

Castellum's subsidiaries operate under their own names, which are strong brands on each local market. Each subsidiary is 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 market, also contributes to the regional development where local subsidiaries operate through co-operation with municipalities and universities/colleges.

Employees

Castellum is actively working to recruit and retain top notch employees by offering a stimulating work environment, competence development and sharing experiences. Employees viewpoint on Castellum is regularly measured and the survey conducted in 2013 shows a continued high index, 86 on a 100-point scale, which means that employees are satisfi ed with their work situation and have a high confi dence in the company and its management.

Castellum had at year-end 293 (265) employees. The increase is mainly related to marketing and property 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 fi nancial risk management) as well as overall IT/IS strategies and personnel matters. Castellum AB has 19 (19) employees.

Castellum is responsible for capital allocation and measures and compares subsidiary management effi ciency and asset value growth in the real estate portfolio. 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 fi nance and fi nancial work, information, information safety, Code of Conduct, environment, insurance and personnel, etc.

Corporate Responsibility

Since 1995, Castellum has systematically been working with sustainability, i.e., developing the properties in the markets 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 both energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions has been reduced by 20% per square metres.

All new constructions in Castellum must be environmentally classifi ed according to one of the following environmental classifi cation systems: Green Building, "Miljöbyggnad", BREEAM or LEED. Castellum has 96 of Sweden's 335 Green Building classifi ed building, one BREEAM certifi ed building and 14 building completed or under construction, according to the Swedish system "Miljöbyggnad".

Market comments

Swedish economy

The Swedish economy was weak in 2013 and GDP growth for 2013 is expected to amount to less than 1%. Weak growth is mainly attributable to the Swedish export industry, which was adversely affected by weaker global demand. A strong domestic economy has contributed positively to GDP growth. The strong domestic demand can be attributed to increased household incomes, an unexpectedly strong employment growth and continued low interest rates.

economic engine, and low interest rates – along with tax cuts – are expected to contribute to strong domestic demand. As the global economy recovers, growth in the Swedish economy is also expected to regain momentum, although from a low level. This will have a positive impact on the labour market. Households continue to be the Swedish

However, the infl ation rate is unexpectedly low and the Riksbank believes that infl ationary pressures will remain low for some time to come. Hence, the Riksbank decided to cut the repo rate by 0.25 percentage points to 0.75% at its December meeting.

Macro indicators

Unemployment 7.5% (November 2013)
Inflation 0.1% (December 2013 compared to December 2012)
GDP growth 0.3% (Q3 2013 compared to Q3 2012)

Rental market

Source: SCB

The rental market is still solid in all markets and segments. The demand for both newly constructed and existing facilities is high and rental levels generally remain unchanged. However, in locations where supply is limited - such as certain central, attractive locations and favourable logistics locations - slight increases in rental levels have been noted.

Real estate market

In 2013, the Swedish real estate market was characterized by stability, a strong domestic interest and increased activity outside big-citys CBD. In total, the transaction volume for 2013 amounted to approx. SEK 100 billion (110). Transaction volumes for the fi rst and fourth quarters were lower compared to the same quarters for 2012, but higher for the second and third quarters.

Swedish real estate companies dominated on both the seller and buyer sides, and foreign buyers accounted for 13% (18%) of the volume. Compared with 2012, the proportion of transactions increased for both the residential and warehouse/logistics segments. Commercial real estate represented approx. 69% (79%) of the volume and big-city areas approx. 58% (65%).

Castellum believes that demand will remain strong in all markets and segments, and that pricing will mainly remain stable. However, a slight increase in value has been recorded for central Stockholm and Göteborg during the second half of 2013.

Interest and credit markets

During the year, the interest-rate market was occasionally volatile. This was mainly due to concerns for, and consequences of, activities undertaken by the world's central banks. However, the underlying trend calls for rising long-term interest rates. At the beginning of the year, the 10-year swap rate was 2.10%, and at the end of the year it was 2.90%. When the interest rate decision was released in December, the Riksbank announced that the repo rate was expected to remain at its current level until the beginning of 2015. Then it might gradually start to rise.

Access to credit is estimated to remain stable in both credit and capital markets. Reduced uncertainty about future regulatory-framework and its impact on the credit market has resulted in slightly lower credit margins on new loans, compared with previous years.

Income, Costs and Results

Comparisons, shown in brackets, are made with the corresponding amounts previous year. For defi nitions see www.castellum.se

Income from property management during the year, i.e. net income excluding changes in value and tax, amounted to SEKm 1,346 (1,255), equivalent to SEK 8.21 (7.65) per share - an increase with 7%.

During the year, changes in value on properties amounted to SEKm 328 (-69) and derivatives to SEKm 429 (-110). Net income for the year was SEKm 1,707 (1,473) equivalent to SEK 10.41 (8.98) per share.

Rental income

Group rental income amounted to SEKm 3,249 (3,073). For offi ce and retail properties, the average contracted rental level, including charged heating, cooling and property tax, amounted to SEK 1,263 per sq.m., whereas for warehouse and industrial properties, it amounted to SEK 765 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 0.4% in 2013. Castellum's higher indexation is due to the Groups focus on index clauses with minimum upward adjustment in the contract portfolio, which offers some protection against defl ation and a higher than usual indexation in a low infl ationary environment.

The average economic occupancy rate was 88.4% (88.6%). The total rental value for vacant premises during the year amounted to approx. SEKm 467 (447).

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 year was SEKm 366 (327), of which SEKm 96 (79) were leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to

SEKm 261 (278), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 23 (28) and SEKm 18 (40) were notices of termination with more than 18 months remaining length of contract. Hence net leasing for the year was SEKm 105 (49) of which SEKm 24 (6) relates to the fourth quarter isolated.

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 1,105 (1,042) corresponding to SEK 307 per sq.m. (298). The increase is mainly an effect of higher costs for snow remowal during fi rst half-year compared to previous year but also higher property tax due to increased tax values of in average 10%. Most of the property tax are charged the tenants, why the impact on earnings is marginal.Consumption for heating during the year has been calculated to 96% (97%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics.

Central administrative expenses totalled SEKm 96 (93). This includes costs for a profi t-and-share-price related incentive plan for 10 persons in executive management of SEKm 8 (11).

Income from Property Management per share Rental value and economic occupancy rate

Net interest

Net interest items were SEKm –702 (–683). The average interest rate level was 3.7% (3.9%). Net fi nancial incomes were positively affected by approx. SEKm 40 due to the average interest rate level decrease by 0.2%-units.

Changes in value

The change in value in Castellum's portfolio during the period amounted to SEKm 328 (–69), of which approx. SEKm 220 refers mainly to project gains but also acquisitions, approx. SEKm 14 net refers to revaluation of individual properties regarding both cashfl ow, yield and value of building rights and approx. SEKm 94 refers to 18 sold properties. The net sales price amounted to SEKm 687 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs of SEKm 31 in total. Hence the underlying property price, which amounted to SEKm 718, exceeded the latest valuation of SEKm 593 with SEKm 125, 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 429 (–110), mainly due to changes in long-term market interest rates. Castellum's currency derivatives, with purpose to hedge currency fl uctuations in the Danish investments, has during the period changed SEKm –7 (8) where the effective portion of the value changes of SEKm –7 (8) 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 921 (1,610). Fair values for the properties exceed their fi scal value by SEKm 18,570 (17,412) of which SEKm 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 3,700 (3,310).

Castellum has entered into an agreement on extended co-operation with the Swedish Tax Authority. Castellum has no current tax disputes.

Property value

Internal valuations

Castellum assesses the value of properties through internal valuations. These are based on a 10-year cash-fl ow-based model, in which an individual valuation for each property refl ects both its future earnings capacity and the 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 infl ation level of 1.5%.

Projects in progress have been valued using the same principle, but with deductions for remaining investments. Sites with building rights have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value per square metre, on average approx. SEK 1,100 per sq.m. (990).

The required market yield can be calculated according to the following chart.

Required yield Office/
Retail
Warehouse/
Industrial
Real interest rate 3.0% 3.0%
Inflation 1.5% 1.5%
Risk 4.5% - 11.1% 7.1% - 12.5%
Return on equity 9.0% - 15.6% 11.6% - 17.0%
Interest rate 5.5% 5.5%

Weighted d:o, disc. factor year 1-9 7.9% 9.1%
Weighted disc. factor residual value* 6.4% 7.6%
*(Required yield on total capital minus growth equal to inflation)

Based on these internal valuations, the value of the properties at year-end were assessed to SEKm 37,752 (36,328), corresponding to SEK 10,285 per sq.m. (9,916).

Average valuation yield

The average valuation yield for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects and undeveloped land, can be calculated to 7.2% (7.3%).

Uncertainity range

A property's market value can only be confi rmed when sold. 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 +/– SEKm 1,888, corresponding to SEKm 35,864 - 39,640.

External valuation

In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation, 148 properties - representing 52% of the value of the portfolio - have been valued externally by NAI Svefa. The properties were selected on the basis of the largest properties in terms of value, but they also refl ect the composition of the portfolio as a whole in terms of category and geographical location of the properties. NAI Svefa's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 19,624, 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 19,772, i. e., a net deviation of SEKm –148, corresponding to –1%. The gross deviation was SEKm +427 and SEKm –575 respectively, with an average deviation of 5%.

In addition, Forum Fastighetsekonomi AB made a desktop valuation of 32 properties corresponding in value to 21% of the portfolio. Forum's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 7,912. Castellum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 7,861, i.e. a net deviation of SEKm 51 corresponding to 1%. NAI Svefa's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 7,780, i.e. en net deviation of SEKm –81 corresponding to –1% 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%.

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 a value of SEKm 38,113 (36,631) on December 31, 2013.

Interest bearing liabilities

At the end of the year Castellum had binding credit agreements totalling SEKm 24,300 (23,361) of which SEKm 21,859 (20,262) were long term binding and SEKm 2,441 (3,099) short term binding.

During the year SEKm 2,000 were issued under the MTN-program, existing credit agreements of SEKm 7,800 were renegotiated and/or extended and a credit agreement of SEKm 200 were terminated.

After deduction of cash of SEKm 70 (44), net interest bearing liabilities were SEKm 19,411 (19,050), of which SEKm 3,200 (1,200) were MTN and SEKm 1,014 (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 in poperties and/or fi nancial covenants. Outstanding commercial papers and the MTN-program are unsecured.

Net interest bearing liabilities amounted to SEKm 19,411 (19,050) of which SEKm 15,197 (15,917) were secured by the company's properties and SEKm 4,214 (3,133) unsecured. The proportion of used secured fi nancing was thus 40% 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 292% respectively. The average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was years 3.4 (4.1). Margins and fees on long-term credit agreements had an average duration of 2.4 years (2.8).

Interest rate maturity structure

The average effective interest rate as per December 31, 2013 was 3.5% (3.6%). 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 2.7 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 value of SEKm 466 (435), 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

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-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, which is obtained from the counter-party.

As of December 31, 2013, the market value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio amounted to SEKm –687 (–1,116) and the currency derivative portfolio to SEKm 4 (11).

for subsidiaries) 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 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.

Sensitivity analysis - cash fl ow

Rental level / Index + 33/– 33 +
Vacancies + 37/– 37 +
Property costs – 11/+ 11 0
Interest costs – 75/+ 67 +

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.

As a long term actor with stable cash fl ow and a balanced property portfolio, change of property value over time should be at least in line with infl ation. From a shareholder valuation perspective, the long-term value can be used to achieve comparability with other industries. If this view is used for Castellum it means a return of both shares (inverted P/E), is based on a price of SEK 100.10, as well as net asset value of 11.0% and 11.2%. The calculation, as shown in
