  1. An adjusted loan-to-value ratio has been introduced as of Q1 2022 in order to adapt the key metric with regard to treasury shares. The shares have been measured at market value as of the balance-sheet date.

This is a translation of the Swedish language original. In the events of any differences between this translation and the Swedish original, the latter shall prevail.

Positive net lettings and projects that yield growth

With a boost in earnings capacity from last year's acquisitions and a rental market that has remained strong, income from property management per share increased 21 per cent. With a strong rental market Castellum shows net lettings of MSEK 109.

Strong underlying business

Demand for offices and warehouse/logistics spaces remains strong despite a turbulent business environment. The occupancy rate increased to 93.7 per cent (93.1), which is Castellum's highest ever. Region West and Region Mälardalen representing the largest net lettings during the period.

Rental income in the like-for-like portfolio increased by 4.4 per cent (1.0). Income from property management increased 47 per cent to MSEK 2,375 (1,615). Income from property management per share amounted to SEK 7.13 (5.88), corresponding to an increase of 21 per cent.

Castellum posted strong net lettings of SEK 109 M, with new lettings of SEK 328 M where projects represent a large share. Major new lettings include the Blå Stjärnan veterinary hospital in Mölndal (Region West), with a contract value of approximately SEK 27 M; Martin & Servera in Kungsholmen (Region Stockholm) with a contract value of approximately SEK 22 M; and Alex Andersen Sverige AB in Långeberga (Region Öresund) with a contract value of approximately SEK 10 M.

The company has a highly diversified customer structure. One quarter of the rental income comes from public sector operations and the number of contracts is approximately 8,400; the largest contract represents less than 1.2 per cent of rental income. Together with a healthy geographic spread in Nordic growth regions, this yields an extremely stable cash flow with a positive risk spread.

Equipped for global uncertainty

As a result of the war in Ukraine and increasing inflation, we are facing a period of raised interest rates. The whole industry will feel the interest rate path and that will challenge us all. The capital market during the quarter was volatile, with low levels of liquidity and widening credit margins.

During the quarter, Castellum refinanced and expanded its longterm loan facilities in banks with margins that were largely unchanged year-on-year, and also took out new bond loans on favourable terms. Moreover, strong banking relationships create positive conditions for further increases in borrowing in banks. Castellum has good liquidity preparedness and can with cash and unutilized credit facilities totaling SEK 19.9 Bn handle all maturities in the capital market during the next two years, which provides us with unrivalled scope for action.

Castellum has index-linked its leases up to 99 per cent, which means full compensation for inflation.

Profitable energy investments and synergies from acquisitions

In June, Castellum's Board of Directors took the decision to increase the company's energy efficiency target to 2.5 per cent per year, which will reduce day-to-day energy costs and future-proof the company's properties with improved energy performance.

During the period, Castellum signed its first lease for climate neutrality that commits both landlord and tenant to take concrete steps to measure the outcome for reduced emissions during the period of the lease. This is a net-zero lease that, it is hoped, will serve as a model for many tenants and colleagues in the industry going forward.

The acquisition of Kungsleden was a successful one, and the company is now an integral part of the Castellum Group, where all the minority interests for Kungsleden have been addressed. Synergy effects are already emerging, not only through obtaining larger market shares but also through the exchange of know-how and enhancements to the efficiency of property management. Nonrecurrent administrative costs for the combination arose during the current year.

A hesitant transaction market, but projects yield growth

After having seen record-high activity in the transaction market in the preceding year and early in this one, we are now seeing a more hesitant market in which inflation and rising interest rates are putting a damper on activity.

The company's own project development enables robust growth in the portfolio, both for the current and subsequent years. The GreenHaus project in Helsingborg was completed during the period, with an occupancy rate of over 90 per cent and customers that include Grant Thornton and Helsingborg Municipality. The Korsningen project in Örebro was also completed during the first six months of the year, fully let to the Swedish Police. This property is also one of the very first buildings with NollCO2 certification in the Nordic region, and is constructed entirely of wood.

Castellum's portfolio of ongoing projects totals approximately SEK 6.3 Bn, of which SEK 3.8 Bn is developed. The average occupancy rate for ongoing projects is approximately 80 per cent, and within the next 9 months projects with a total rental value of SEK 337 million

will be completed. The aftereffects of the pandemic and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine have had a major impact on the contractor market, with abnormal price increases on materials and energy. Castellum is focusing heavily on risk management based on these challenges, both in ongoing projects and projects under start-up, in order to minimise future consequences.

Castellum's portfolio shift toward higher quality and attractive locations over the last few years, alongside a greater share of own project development, means that the yield requirement remains at 4.7 per cent.

With positive unrealised change in value from own new developments and tenant adaptations, the value of the asset portfolio is now SEK 157 Bn (153). With our holdings in Entra ASA, the total property value is SEK 185 Bn.

Despite turbulence in our sector this first half of the year, we see a continued strong rental market with positive net lettings. With a low loan-to-value ratio of 38.2 per cent, financial muscles in the form of previously negotiated banking facilities that cover all maturities in the next two years, and a core business with strong and stable cash flows, Castellum is well-equipped to face a tougher financial market.

"Despite turbulence in our sector this first half of the year, we see a continued strong rental market with positive net lettings."

Rutger Arnhult Chief Executive Officer, Castellum AB

Performance analysis, January – June 2022

Income from property management

The acquisitions of the previous year and a robust earning capacity enabled a 21 per cent increase in income from property management per share despite a temporary increase in administrative costs, which were a result of the combination with Kungsleden as well as drastic price increases for electricity and heating in early 2022. Income from property management for the period totalled SEK 2,375 M (1,615), corresponding to SEK 7.13 per share (5.88).

Income

During the period, total income increased by SEK 1,479 M to SEK 4,400 M (2,936). In the like-for-like portfolio of the investment properties, rental income increased by 4.4 per cent (1.0). This increase is attributable to continued robustness in new lettings, successful renegotiation and indexation. After the combination with Kungsleden, the company's investment properties are included in the Group's definition of the like-for-like portfolio for investment properties.

The average economic occupancy rate for the period increased to 93.7 per cent (93.1).

INCOME FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PER SHARE

Costs

Direct property costs totalled SEK 1,072 M (629), corresponding to SEK 380/sq. m. (317). The property costs for the like-for-like portfolio of investment properties have increased 7.5 per cent, primarily as a result of the drastic price performance for electricity and heating. Consumption for heating during the period has been calculated to 105 per cent (97) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics.

The combination with Kungsleden means that Kungsleden's investment properties are included in the Group's definition of the like-for-like portfolio for investment properties.

Property administration amounted to SEK 268 M (191), corresponding to SEK 103 per square metre (108). Central administrative expenses were SEK 156 M (77). A large part of the cost increase is attributable to the combination with Kungsleden.

Income from associated companies and changes in value in financial holdings

Income from associated companies consists of Castellum's share of Entra's earnings. The income includes both income from property management, tax and changes in value in Entra's property portfolio. It is only Castellum's share of the associated company's income from property management that is included in the line item "of which income from property management" in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This means that tax and changes in value are excluded. Each quarter Castellum impairment test the share. As of 30 June 2022, previous impairments totalling SEK 86 M (—) have been added back. The add-back was completed in consideration of the excellent increases in value posted by Entra in the first half of 2022 as well as an increase in net asset value per share. Any potential impact on Castellum's holding in Entra from changes in currency rates is recognised in other comprehensive income. For further information on Entra, refer to page 19.

Net financial items

Net financial items totalled SEK -648 M (-374). The increase is attributable primarily to a larger loan portfolio after the acquisition of Kungsleden as well as to an increase in the average interest rate, which as of 30 June 2022 totalled 1.9 per cent (1.7).

Changes in values on properties

A number of contracts were signed on the property market during the quarter, at robust price levels in Castellum's submarkets and segments. The property market continued to display robust resistance to the ongoing uncertainties

prevailing in the market, and the interest in property investments remained strong despite the challenges in the capital market. Castellum recognised unrealised changes in value of SEK 2,786 M (2,575), which is largely attributable to projects that are nearing completion as well as a strong cash flow. The properties have been valued at an average yield requirement of 4.7 per cent. During the first half of the year, properties corresponding to approximately one third of the property value were externally assessed. The external valuations carried out during the period were on par with the internal valuations, confirming the carrying amount at 30 June 2022.

Moreover, a realised change in value of SEK 26 M (559) was recognised, SEK 57 M of which is attributable to the sale of twelve properties in Gävle early in the year. The remainder pertains to settlement of previously concluded transactions. Apart from transaction costs, the realisable profits were charged with deductions of SEK 90 M for deferred tax for the purchasers. As a result of the sales, goodwill of SEK 151 M related to fully provisioned deferred tax has also been settled over profit or loss, and previous deferred tax of SEK 317 M was added back to the tax line item.

Change in values on derivatives

Castellum holds both interest-rate and currency derivatives, which are impacted primarily by long-term market interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations. Total changes in value on derivatives during the six-month period totalled SEK 3,030 M, of which SEK 2,470 M (117) was recognised in profit or loss and the remainder in other comprehensive income. The positive changes in value are attributable primarily to the rise in interest rates on longer maturities during the period.

Tax

Total tax expenses for the period were SEK 1,140 M (-453), of which SEK 187 M (132) pertained to current tax. Applying the tax rate of 20.6 per cent, total theoretical tax expense is SEK 1,663 M. The difference of SEK 523 M at a 20.6 per cent tax rate on income before tax pertains primarily to the add-back of deferred tax of SEK 330 M for properties sold and tax of SEK 189 M on the share of profits from associated companies.

Customers*

*Excluding Castellum's holding in Entra, 30 June 2022.

Castellum's exposure to the credit risks of individual tenants is extremely low, with a lease portfolio that has a large spread across many different tenants, customer sizes and industries. This spreads the risk for rent losses and vacancies. The Group has approximately 8,400 commercial leases and approximately 500 residential leases, and their distribution in terms of size is presented in the table below. The single largest lease accounts for 1.2 per cent of the Group's total rental income, while the corresponding figure for the single largest customer is 2.7 per cent. As at 30 June 2022, the remaining average length of contract was 4.0 years (3.9).

During the period, Castellum signed leases with an annual rental value of SEK 328 M (266). Notices of termination amounted to SEK M 219 (200), of which bankruptcies were SEK 2 M (4) and SEK 13 M (42) were notices of termination with more than 18 months left of contract.

Net lettings for the period thus totalled SEK 109 M (66). The time difference between reported net lettings and the income effect thereof is estimated to be between 9–18 months in investment properties and 12–24 months for investments in new construction, extensions and reconstructions.

The net operating income of SEK 2,941 M reported above and the net operating income of SEK 2,917 M in the income statement are attributable to the deduction of the net operating income of SEK -23 M in properties sold during the period, the SEK 22 M upward adjustment of the net operating income on properties acquired/completed during the period as if they had been owned or been completed during the entire period, and the exclusion of SEK -25 M from the coworking company in the table.

Larger ongoing projects

Castellum has a portfolio of ongoing projects totalling approximately SEK 6.3 Bn, of which SEK 3.8 Bn is developed. Average economic occupancy rate for Castellum's larger ongoing projects as of July 2022 totalled 80 per cent. Two major projects were concluded during the second quarter of the year: the GreenHaus office project in Helsingborg and a new office for the Swedish Police in Örebro (Korsningen 1). A major project was inaugurated during the quarter, pertaining to a new veterinary hospital for Blå Stjärnan in Mölndal (Tusenskönan 2). The Infinity project in Stockholm has been put on hold until the lettings requirement has been met.

The aftereffects of the pandemic and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine have had a major impact on the contractor market, with abnormal price increases on materials and delivery problems. Castellum's projects have been impacted as well, to varying extents. At present, we feel that ongoing projects will by and large be completed in accordance with plans. Castellum is focusing heavily on risk management based on these challenges, both in ongoing projects and projects under start-up, in order to minimise future consequences.

Castellum's project pipeline

Castellum has tremendous potential in its development portfolio, in which it is estimated that approximately 1 million square metres can be started within the next five years depending on the pace of lettings and the progress in detailed development plans. These projects correspond to an investment volume of approximately SEK 27 Bn. Out of this volume, approximately 530,000 square metres are logistics and the rest primarily offices. The geographic distribution and the 20 largest development projects by area are shown in the following table.

Castellum will be one of the most sustainable property companies in Europe. The company's sustainability agenda, "The sustainable city," is divided into four areas of focus: The Planet, Future-Proofing, Well-Being and Social Responsibility. These areas of focus ensure that operations are conducted responsibly, creating long-term solutions from an economic, ecological and social perspective. For more detailed information, refer to Castellum's Annual Report and Sustainability Report for 2022. Kungsleden, which was acquired in late 2021, has been included in the company's sustainability key metrics as of Q1 2022.

  1. The increase in total energy consumption compared with 2021 and 2020 is due primarily to the portfolio shift, including the acquisition of Kungsleden, and acquisitions in Finland that took place in 2021 as well as a colder year, to some extent.

  2. The increase in degree day-corrected energy consumption compared with 2021 and 2020 is due primarily to the portfolio shift, including the acquisition of Kungsleden, and acquisitions in Finland that took place in 2021.

  3. This list includes all CO2 emissions from property management (i.e. scopes 1 and 2). Detailed information on Castellum's CO2 emissions and complete Scope 3 emissions outside of property management will be made available in the 2022 Annual Report.

  4. For more information on Castellum's reporting under Article 8 in the Taxonomy Regulation, refer to Castellum's 2021 Annual Report and Sustainability Report.

Financing

The capital market during the quarter was volatile, with low levels of liquidity and widening credit margins. Castellum has a healthy amount of contingency liquidity, and with SEK 19.9 Bn in cash and bank balances as well as unutilised credit facilities it can cover all maturities in the capital market over the next two years. Early in the quarter, unsecured bonds totalling SEK 1.6 Bn were issued on the Swedish capital market as part of the existing MTN programme. The bonds were issued with a credit margin of 1.9 per cent and a tenor of 5 years. During the quarter, loan facilities in banks totalling SEK 13 Bn were refinanced and expanded with margins that were largely unchanged year-on-year. Additionally, a further SEK 4 Bn in expanded credit limits in banks were granted. Signing is expected in the coming quarter. At the end of the second quarter, interest-bearing liabilities totalled SEK 74,153 m (70,829). The interest-bearing liabilities consist of bond loans of SEK 46,314 M (43,088), loans in banks of SEK 24,133 M (17,391) and commercial paper of SEK 3,706 M (10,350). Unsecured liabilities correspond to 67 per cent (76) of interestbearing liabilities.

KEY METRICS – INTEREST-BEARING FINANCING

The interest coverage ratio during the period was a multiple of 4.7 (5.2) and adjusted loan-to-value ratio less treasury shares totalled 39.0 per cent (37.8). The average remaining interestrate and debt maturity totalled 2.9 years (3.3) and 3.6 years (3.8) respectively.

CASTELLUM'S CASH FLOW

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 for income or costs associated with the cash flow from investment or financing activities. Operating cash flow after change in operating capital was SEK 2,507 M. SEK 2,678 M has been invested in existing properties and projects. During the first quarter, twelve properties in Gävle were sold and vacated, with a purchase consideration of SEK 2,302 M received. Minor acquisitions were also completed during the half-year. SEK 830 M pertaining to the buy-out of the minority in Kungsleden impacted the cash flow during the six-month period. Routine hedging of currency positions during the period impacted cash flow by SEK 271 M, while a total of SEK 2,752 M in shares was repurchased during the quarter. A dividend of SEK 624 M pertaining to the initial disbursement of dividends for financial year 2021 was paid to shareholders. A dividend of SEK 167 M for the hybrid bond has also been disbursed. Net debt as of 30 June 2022 totalled SEK 74,009 M after an increase in liabilities of SEK 2,520 M and in cash and bank balances of SEK 93 M.

Associated companies

At the end of the period, Castellum owned 60,710,624 shares in Entra, corresponding to 33.3 per cent of the voting rights and capital. Entra owns and manages modern office properties in central locations in Norway close to public transportation. This, together with a strong customer base, lengthy leases and a large, high-quality development portfolio, means that the company is well positioned for the future. Castellum recognises their holdings in Entra in accordance to the equity method.

Financial key metrics

A number of the financial key metrics presented by Castellum are not defined in accordance with the IFRS accounting standards. However, the company believes that these metrics provide useful supplementary information to both investors and Castellum management, as they facilitate evaluation of company performance. It is to be noted that, since not all companies calculate financial metrics in the same manner, these are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies. These financial metrics should therefore not be seen as a substitute for metrics defined according to IFRS. Unless otherwise stated, the table below presents metrics, along with their reconciliation, which are not defined according to IFRS. Furthermore, definitions for these metrics also appear on page 25.

Risks and uncertainties

Castellum's operations, earnings and financial position are impacted by a number of risk factors. To facilitate risk management, Castellum has chosen to classify risks into the following categories:

  • Business environment risks due to the influence of external factors and events.
  • Strategic risks risks associated with reputation or the ownership of Castellum's asset portfolio.
  • Operational risks risks associated with routine administration of Castellum's property holdings.
  • Sustainability and climate risks risks associated with the environment, corporate responsibility and/or liability risks
  • People risks associated with our employees and the people in and around our properties.
  • Financial risk risks in Castellum's financing and reporting

The company works actively to identify and manage the risks and opportunities that are of material significance to its operations. More information on Castellum's risks and their management can be found on pages 75–83 of the Annual Report for 2021. We believe that no change has taken place compared with the Annual Report.

Forward-looking information

A number of items recognised in this report are forward-looking, and the actual outcome may differ substantially. Apart from the factors that have expressly been commented on, other factors such as economic growth, interest-rate levels, financing terms, yield requirements on property assets and political decisions may also have a material impact on the actual outcome

Accounting policies

Castellum's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act. Moreover, the relevant provisions in the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Markets Act have been applied. For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting policies and bases for calculation as in the latest annual report have been applied. In addition to the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A appear in the remainder of this interim report. Preparation of the interim report requires company management to make assessments and estimates, and to make assumptions that have impacted the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and costs. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and assessments. The critical assessments made and the sources of uncertainty in existing estimates are the same as those in the latest published annual report.

  1. The contingent liabilities are attributable to sureties for subsidiaries.

Events after balance sheet date

No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.

Review report

Independent Auditor's Report on the review of half-year financial information To the Board of Directors of Castellum AB (publ) Corp. ID No. 556475-5550

Introduction

We have reviewed the half-year report for Castellum AB (publ) for the period 1 January–30 June 2022. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this half-year report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this half-year report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review Of Interim Financial Information Performed By The Independent Auditor Of The Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for preparing financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.

Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the halfyear report has not, in all material respects, been prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Definitions

Alternative key performance indicators

Castellum applies the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) guidelines on alternative performance measures. According to these guidelines, an alternative performance measure is a financial measurement of historical or future earnings trends, financial position, financial earnings or cash flows that are not identified or indicated in the applicable rules for financial reporting (IFRS and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act).

Castellum is also a member of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), which is why the financial key metrics EPRA EPS, EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV are reported.

Share-related key metrics

Dividend yield

Dividend as a percentage of the share price at the end of the period.

Number of shares

Registered number of shares – the number of shares registered at a given point in time. Number of shares outstanding – the number of shares registered with a deduction for the company's own repurchased shares at a given point in time. Average number of shares – the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a given period.

Data per share

Calculation of income and cash flow per share uses the average number of shares, and calculation of assets, equity and net asset value per share uses the number of shares outstanding.

EPRA EPS – Earnings Per Share

Income from property management adjusted for nominal tax attributable to income from property management, divided by the average number of shares. Taxable income from property management means income from property management less deductions for tax purposes of depreciation and reconstruction.

EPRA NRV – Net Reinstatement Value

Equity as recognised in the balance sheet less non-controlling interests and hybrid bonds and adjusted for interest rate swaps, goodwill relating to deferred tax, and deferred tax in its entirety.

EPRA NTA – Net Tangible Assets

Equity as recognised in the balance sheet less non-controlling interests and hybrid bonds and following add-back of derivatives and goodwill, adjusted for actual deferred tax instead of nominal deferred tax.

EPRA NDV – Net Disposal Value

Equity as recognised in the balance sheet, less non-controlling interests and hybrid bonds and adjusted for goodwill that does not constitute deferred tax.

Property-related key metrics

Economic occupancy rate

Rental income accounted for during the period, less discounts, as a percentage of rental value for properties owned at the end of the period. Properties acquired/completed during the period have been restated as if they had been owned or completed during the whole year, while properties disposed of have been excluded entirely. Development projects and undeveloped land have been excluded.

Property type

The property's primary rental value with regard to the type of premises. Premises for purposes other than the primary use may therefore be found within a property type. Castellum's property types are: office, public sector properties (customers that are directly or indirectly tax funded), warehouse/light industry, retail and development projects.

Property costs

This item includes both direct property costs, such as operating expenses, maintenance, site leasehold fees and property tax, as well as indirect costs for lettings and property administration.

Income from property management

Net income following add-back of acquisition and restructuring costs, revaluation of results due to stepwise acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and changes in value, as well as tax for both the Group and for associated companies/joint ventures. Income from property management is calculated before tax paid, as well as after the theoretical tax that Castellum would have paid on income from property management had there been no loss carryforwards.

Rental income

Rents debited plus supplements such as reimbursement of heating costs and property tax.

Rental value

Rental income plus estimated market rent for vacant premises.

SEK per square metre

Property-related key metrics, expressed in terms of SEK per square metre, are based on properties owned at the end of the period. Properties acquired/completed during the year have been restated as if they had been owned or completed for the whole year, while properties disposed of have been completely excluded. Development projects and undeveloped land have been excluded. In the interim accounts, key metrics have been recalculated on an annual basis, disregarding seasonal variations normally occurring in operations.

Surplus ratio

Net operating income as a percentage of rental income.

Financial key metrics

Return on equity

Income after tax as a percentage of average equity.

In the interim accounts the return has been recalculated on an annual basis, disregarding seasonal variations normally occurring in operations.

Return on total capital

Income before tax with reversed net financial items and changes in values on derivatives during the year as a percentage of average total capital. In the interim accounts the return has been recalculated on an annual basis, disregarding seasonal variations normally occurring in operations.

Loan-to-value ratio

Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets.

LTV ratio, Property

Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of the properties' fair value with deduction for acquired properties not taken into possession, and with addition for divested properties still in Castellum's possession.

Hybrid bond

Castellum has issued hybrid bonds with a maturity to the first potential redemption of 5.5 years and a fixed coupon rate of 3.125%. The issue was oversubscribed, and the bonds are listed on Euronext Dublin (Global Exchange Market). The hybrid bonds are recognised as equity according to IFRS. Moody's gave the instrument a rating of Ba1 and confirmed that they classified 50 per cent as equity and 50 per cent as liabilities.

Adjusted loan-to-value ratio

Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents and treasury shares measured at market value at the end of the period, as a percentage of total assets. An adjusted loan-to-value ratio has been introduced as of Q1 2022 in order to adapt the key metric with regard to treasury shares. For the standard definition of loan-to-value ratio, refer to "Loan-to-value ratio" above.

Interest coverage ratio

Income from property management after reversal of net financial items as a percentage of net interest items.

Net debt to EBITDA

Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents in relation to net operating income less central administrative expenses.
