2013 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT 2013 | CATENA AB 1

Catena – the road forward

A new Catena – the road forward

On 30 September 2013, Catena AB (publ) took over 100% of the shares in Brinova Logistik AB. Combined with the cash flows generated through the management of logistics properties, Catena's property expertise has enabled the company to capitalise on the value potential of the Haga Norra development project in Solna, which is already included in Catena's portfolio.

Management of logistics properties

Catena's logistics operations comprise 44 logistics and warehouse properties with a lettable area of 650,000 square metres. The properties are situated in prime locations near Sweden's main transport routes. Of the total lettable area, 45 per cent is in the Stockholm region, 28 per cent in the Gothenburg region and 27 per cent in the Öresund region, all of which are key centres of population and consumption. Read more on pages 20-23.

Project development

Catena's project portfolio mainly comprises the Haga Norra project in Solna. This project includes a property with slightly more than 40,000 square metres of floor space, where Bilia currently operates a car service centre for Volvo and Renault. Work on a detailed development plan for residential and commercial premises is under way at the property. Read more on page 12.

A leading logistics property company

The merger of Catena and Brinova Logistik AB laid the foundation for Sweden's foremost property company in the area of logistics. Our solid knowledge of property management and the attractive Haga Norra development project have provided us with stability and potential.

Unique logistics expertise

In Brinova's Annual Report for 2012, I described our goal of creating a leading property company specialising in logistics. One year later, we have achieved this goal within the framework of Catena. With 650,000 square metres of logistics premises valued at nearly SEK 4 billion, Catena is one of the largest property companies – in fact, I would say the leading property company – in the logistics sector in Sweden. In addition to property knowledge, Catena possesses unique logistics expertise. Together with various specialists, we have identified the qualities that are characteristic of an optimal logistics premises. When I refer to logistics premises, I do not mean a simple warehouse for raw materials or finished products, but rather a property that has been customised for one or more logistics tasks. We have also invested considerable resources in creating these purpose-built logistics premises and, as a result, we can provide specialised premises for a wide range of logistics purposes, such as transshipment, consolidated shipment and interim storage.

More than just an average landlord

We also have premises that can supply stores in the inner city with frequent deliveries of goods. These properties, which we refer to as city distribution

"The strong cash flow generated by our operating activities has given us an opportunity to develop one of Sweden's most attractive and ideally located development projects."

centres, allow stores to replace costly retail space with more inexpensive logistics space, thereby cutting costs for our tenants. Reducing the number of in-store products also helps minimise the store's working capital. The customised safety features we install offer a secure and cost-efficient way of protecting our tenants' value. These qualities, along with a number of associated services, make us more than just an average landlord. We deliver complete solutions and functions and thus consider ourselves a consultant or partner for our tenants – an offering that we believe many customers appreciate, particularly in the growing e-commerce sector.

Mapping of cargo flows

To identify optimal locations – a factor that is vital for a logistics property – Catena has invested major resources in order to map out the country's cargo flows. As a result, we now have a good understanding of how goods from various areas of the world enter Sweden and are distributed across the country by road and rail. This knowledge serves as the basis for our selection of locations for investments in land and development properties. These identified areas are also the locations where we have already established operations. At many of our logistics locations, we can also offer our customers container terminals, where several types of transport operations converge. Although road transport remains prevalent, I am confident that these terminals will become increasingly important, particularly from a cost and environmental perspective. While our investment in the expansion and construction of container terminals has so far been limited, it has nevertheless provided us with significant growth potential upon which we will gradually

be able to capitalise. Naturally, we also offer attractive facilities along the major European motorways.

Potential of Haga Norra project The strong cash flow generated by our operating activities has

given us an opportunity to develop one of Sweden's most attractive and ideally situated development projects: Haga Norra in Solna. The area is situated in a prime location with respect to public transport, with direct connections to the growing city districts of Arenastaden, Nya Karolinska and Hagastaden. The project includes the development rights for 70,000 square metres of commercial space and 80,000 square metres of residential space, the latter of which corresponds to approximately 800 apartments. The project also includes 50,000 square metres of prime floor space at ground level, which is intended to be used for a parking garage and other facilities. The total investment is esti-

mated at slightly more than SEK 4 billion at the current monetary value and the implementation period is expected to be between five and ten years. We expect the approved – but contested – detailed development plan for the area to gain legal force in 2014, following which we plan to drive the process forward in cooperation with established players in the office and residential sector.

Impact on earnings in 2014

As a result of the merger of Catena and Brinova Logistik in the autumn, the company's profit in 2013 and 2012 is not fully comparable. The most complete comparative figures pertain to net operating surplus, which increased 11%, and the surplus ratio, which rose from 65% to 70%. In general terms, Brinova's logistics properties, which generate favourable returns, have been supplemented by Catena's major project property Haga Norra, which is expected to generate a substantial future return. In addition to Haga Norra, a number of other ongoing projects will also be completed – and thus have a positive impact on profit – in the coming year. We can already confirm that profit is developing according to plan – a result that we are proud of although not entirely satisfied with.

The natural choice

After achieving the targets established last year, we are now continuing to strengthen our position and be the natural choice for customers looking for a prime logistics location. We will continue to grow by supplementing our existing operations, as well as developing new, rational logistics properties in prime locations. In an increasingly competitive world, our credibility as a supplier depends on our ability to help our customers become better and more efficient. At the same time, our long-term standing as a listed company will be based on our ability to generate a higher return than other companies. We have what it takes – in terms of financial and organisational capacity – to succeed on both fronts. I look forward to an exciting 2014.

Solna, March 2014 Gustaf Hermelin, CEO

Catena's market

As the world becomes increasingly globalised, the need for international transport is growing. This, in turn, is boosting demand for logistics services such as interim storage and local relocation. Along with increasing demands on capital and cost-efficiency, environmental considerations and new consumption patterns, this is driving the need for customised and well-situated logistics facilities.

Clear trends driving the need for logistics properties

he conditions in the logistics industry have changed. As a result of globalisation, the distance between production and consumption is growing. Combined with a sharp increase in e-commerce, this trend is creating greater demand for efficient logistics resources. As part of this trend toward globalisation, international production networks are becoming increasingly common and production is gradually becoming more specialised. Various processes are carried out in a number of countries before a product ultimately reaches its country of consumption. This trend has contributed to an increase in global trade flows and imposed greater demands on system integration and sound logistics. T

Like global trade in general, Sweden's foreign trade has gained considerable momentum since the 1970s. Today, Sweden's exports account for nearly 50% of the country's GDP, which is above the average for the EU and OECD countries, while global trade has tripled since the beginning of the 1970s.

This increase in trade has imposed greater demands on both logistics facilities and transport. With respect to goods leaving or arriving in Sweden, shipping by sea and lake is the dominant form of transport. A full 95% of all Swedish exports and imports are transported through the country's ports and, as a nation, Sweden offers several advantages when it comes to logistics centres. In 2010, 180 million tonnes of cargo from domestic and foreign traffic were handled in Sweden's ports, of which 12 million tonnes were transported within Sweden.

Favourable prospects for retail trade

E-commerce continues to display strong growth and most Swedes have purchased or ordered goods online. In the largest increase since 2007, e-commerce rose 17% in 2013, corresponding to a turnover of slightly more than SEK 37 billion. The product categories that displayed the strongest growth came from the sport, leisure and other segments – cosmetics, toys, building materials and accessories – while home electronics remained the largest industry in e-commerce. E-commerce currently accounts for 6% of the total retail trade in Sweden.

Although e-commerce has displayed significant growth for some time, it was only during 2012 that consumers first began to take the industry seriously. This was particularly clear during the Christmas shopping period, when 40% of consumers purchased their gifts online, corresponding to an increase of 5% compared with 2011. E-commerce companies were once again expected to set new sales records during the 2013 Christmas season.

This increase in e-commerce has placed greater demands on logistics companies with respect to flexibility, speed and reliability.

The port in Karlshamn serves as a centre for transport from the east and has taken on an increasingly important role as Asia has become a growing export market for Swedish companies, with China representing Sweden's largest trade partner. Helsingborg, the country's second largest container port, also offers one of the best logistics locations in Sweden and functions as a southern hub for rail traffic and HGV traffic along the E4 and E6 motorways. The port in Malmö functions as the country's southern transport logistics centre. The port in Gothenburg – Scandinavia's largest port, through which nearly 30% of Swedish foreign trade passes – serves as the country's western hub, with routes to approximately 140 destinations worldwide. Stockholm is the gateway to Sweden's most densely populated area – Mälardalen.

Today's consumers expect their online purchases to be quick and e-commerce companies to be reliable. Two emerging trends in e-commerce are track-trace, meaning the ability to track orders from production to end supplier, and rating, which allows consumers to evaluate e-retailers using a rating system.

In the highly competitive e-commerce industry, efficient logistics, short lead times and in-stock availability are winning concepts. The most successful players in this competitive industry will be those that are able to quickly adapt to the digital trend.

Investment market

Logistics and warehouse properties represent a subsegment of the wider real estate market, which has been undergoing a structural transformation since the early 2000s. Previously, the portfolio was largely owned by the companies using the premises, but a consolidation of ownership is now under way. Domestic companies such as Catena, Kilenkrysset, Sagax and Tribona, as well as foreign players such as Goodman and ProLogis, specialise in the ownership of logistics and warehouse properties.

However, logistics and warehouse properties have gradually become a segment of the real estate market in which institutional players – both private and partnerships – also wish to create exposures, either indirectly through companies and real estate funds or directly through property investments. Norges Bank Investment Management's acquisition of 50% of ProLogis' European logistics portfolio for approximately SEK 10 billion in 2012 is an example of this increased interest from institutional players. The growing interest in logistics and warehouse properties is partly attributable to breakthrough of e-commerce, which in the long term will result in a change to the distribution chain in the retail sector. The logistics

and warehouse market continues to be characterised by a lack of attractive investment objects and a wide spread with respect to such parameters a ownership, size, modernity and efficiency. This means that the majority of institutional investors have a smaller allocation, particularly of logistics properties, than the segment's share of the total commercial property stock. The transaction activity in the segment has increased since the financial crisis in 2008-2009, when the level of activity in the real estate market experienced was generally low.

In 2012 and 2013, the transaction volume was nearly in line with the listings reported in the years prior to the financial crisis. During the first three quarters of 2013, the turnover of properties amounted to slightly less than SEK 10 billion. Some of the largest transactions conducted during the year were Catena's acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB, the Danish company PFA Pension's purchase of 50% of NREP Logistics, and ICA and Alecta's purchase of ICA's central warehouse in Helsingborg.

Rental market

From an international perspective, Sweden has high rents for logistics and warehouse properties, partly due to high building costs and limited speculative building. Despite an increase in new production since 2010, the majority of new areas are being built for previously contracted tenants, which means that the number of vacancies in new, modern logistics premises is highly limited. Despite this limited supply, the trend in the rental market has been weak and is expected to remain limited as a result of a large supply of developable land and stable production costs, as well as intense competition among contractors and project developers for new assignments in the segment. The supply of developable land in Stockholm is lower than in other parts of the country, while payroll expenses are generally high,

which has driven up rents for newly produced premises in attractive locations.

As e-commerce continues its sharp growth, the need for logistics premises will increase among both new and established retail players, as well as suppliers of logistics solutions. According to a 2012 report from Property Investor Europe, approximately 90% of growth within the retail trade during the coming years is expected to occur through mail order. There is a trend toward major distribution centres serving a growing trading area at the same time as European infrastructure is improved and transportation times shortened. At the same time, e-commerce is also creating a need for end-customer distribution via delivery points located near residential areas. As a result of increased environmental awareness, rail transport now accounts for a larger portion of the overall logistics mix, which is creating a demand for improved access to container terminals, where cargo can be moved, for example, between rail and road.

The property Högsbo 21:2, commonly referred to as Preppen, once housed a brewery. Over the course of ten years, we have meticulously developed the property into a modern logistics property in a prime location by extending, rebuilding and improving the premises in various ways. In addition to the largest tenant DHL, the modern, attractive premises in the property are leased by a small number of other companies and institutions. The project will now come full circle as Grebbestad Brewery moves into the former Pripps Brewery premises, which means that essentially the entire 64,800 square metres of floor space has been leased. This is a good example of how we secure cash flows and boost the value of our properties.

Our business

Catena offers companies and third-party operators attractive, appropriate logistics facilities in prime strategic locations near Sweden's flows of goods. Combined with the cash flows generated through the effective management of well-located logistics properties, Catena's property expertise has enabled the company to create project earnings from the Haga Norra development project.

Our business model is based on an attractive customer offering

Competence Capital

Management of logistics properties

atena's business concept is to own, effectively manage and proactively develop properties in prime locations that offer the potential to generate a steadily growing cash flow and favourable value growth. The foundation of the operations is the management of 44 welllocated logistics properties in southern Sweden. C

Management of logistics properties

Our logistics and warehouse properties have a lettable area of about 650,000 square metres, of which 91% is used for logistics/warehouse purposes. The remaining area mainly comprises office space. Of the total lettable logistics area, 45 per cent is in the Stockholm region, 28 per cent in the Gothenburg region and 27 per cent in the Öresund region.

We are knowledgeable when it comes to international and national flows of goods as well as our customers' needs. Thanks to the proactive management of our internal personnel, we are able to quickly identify the needs of the market and our tenants and thus adapt our offering to suit a specific partner, tenant or situation. This allows us to create a stable net operating surplus, which optimises our rental and property values.

An attractive offering

Our offering is brief and to the point – the right property in an optimal location. As we build modern, purpose-made logistics facilities in attractive locations across Sweden, we focus on a number of factors:

Location is crucial for efficient, well-functioning logistics. Close to key transport arteries, with excellent connections.

Environment – Today's cargo flows utilise shipping, air, rail and road transport, separately or in various combinations. The best logistics facilities are located near hubs that offer good potential for combined transportation solutions.

Type of property – An offering with a number of different types of premises specially adapted to the customer's primary operations.

Flexibility is extremely important when it comes to ensuring the long-term attractiveness of a facility.

Security based on skill and responsibility, which can only be provided by a leading logistics property company.

Safety features designed to provide tenants with full protection against break-ins, fire, flooding and other damage.

Commitment to our goal of being the top player in logistics properties. As one of the largest companies in the area, we feel a deep sense of responsibility to continue developing our business in order to ensure that Sweden has a wellfunctioning supply chain.

We have operations established in Sweden's three metropolitan areas, which, along with Projekt Solna, comprise our business segments. We work in close proximity to our customers in order to provide them with optimal, customised logistics premises.

Transactions

By developing our properties technically, commercially and financially, we generate new value that can be realised in a responsible manner when the property is fully developed. Well-managed properties that generate stable income give us the flexibility and possibility to consider divesting to responsible prospective buyers when optimal conditions arise or to bring in joint-ownership partners. This enables us to free up personnel and financial resources for continued project development, primarily in the area of logistics.

Project development

Catena's project development work primarily comprises a development property in Haga Norra in Solna, located in close proximity to Sweden's national arena with a lettable area of 40,723 square metres. At 31 December 2013, the rental value of the property amounted to SEK 27.0 million and the economic letting ratio was 97.9%. The fair value of the property at 31 December 2013 was SEK 885 million and mainly comprised an estimated value for the potential development rights that can be realised through the work under way on the detailed development plan for the property.

Some of the cash flow generated from the logistics properties will be used for the development of the Haga Norra project. This development project currently houses a dealership and service centre operated by Bilia. The project will undergo a major facelift with the addition of 800 new residential units and 70,000 square metres of office space.

Catena's logistics facilities are located in along the country's main transport artery.

The block, known as Stora Frösunda, will be converted into a new city district with a diverse range of urban buildings. In addition to residential and commercial premises, the area will also be home to a number of stores, offices, schools and pre-schools. The plan also includes land for pedestrian and bicycle paths, a square, parks, parking facilities and areas for rail traffic.

Various types of logistics premises for different purposes

Terminals/Container terminals

Properties that are primarily designed for transshipment operations. This type of property includes container terminals, where possibilities of moving goods from one mode of transport to another are optimised.

Warehouses

This category includes manufacturing companies' inventories of finished goods and importers' stocks of goods awaiting sale.

Distribution

This category primarily comprises goods that are stored for a

shorter period to then be transported onward. Distribution centres mainly require good loading and offloading facilities and often packing equipment.

City logistics

This type of distribution centre is optimised for rapid and shortdistance freight distribution activities, often involving fast-moving goods such as perishable goods for supermarket sales.

E-commerce

While the simplicity of e-commerce creates a competitive edge, customers also expect fast deliveries. The costs for shipping and handling must be kept to a minimum in order to compete with physical stores, which places major demands on logistics.

A clear vision and well-defined strategies

Our overriding goal, based on our focused orientation, is to give shareholders a favourable long-term total return through an attractive customer offering.

Vision

To achieve our overriding goal, we have established a clear vision – We aim to be the natural choice for customers looking for a prime logistics location.

Strategies

To achieve our vision, we have defined four interrelated strategies that form the foundation of our operations:

  • We focus on project development relating to Catena's properties.
  • We take a proactive approach to the management of these properties, with a focus on promoting long-term customer relations by offering attractive premises in close cooperation with Catena's tenants.
  • We divest properties that offer limited potential to create additional value growth.
  • We streamline and develop properties by identifying and implementing value-adding measures that enhance the appeal of the properties and their yield, with due consideration of risk.

During the year, we implemented the following measures within the framework of our strategies:

  • Development of an environmentally efficient and costeffective distribution centre for Axfood's frozen foods at the island of Hisingen in Gothenburg. The property is heated using solar panels and recovered heat from the cooling system.
  • Continued development of container terminals in key logistics areas. We have now established proprietary

operations and partnerships in Karlshamn, Katrineholm, Hallsberg and Nykvarn.

  • Increase in the energy efficiency of Posten (the Swedish postal service) in Gothenburg through the installation of solar panels at the property Backa 23:5.
  • Construction of industrial premises in southern Helsingborg leased by DHL. The premises house Svenska Retursystem's cleaning facility, which provides Swedish retailers of perishable goods with clean food crates and pallets.

While Catena's property portfolio is currently undergoing an expansion phase, the company is also continuing to divest properties no longer deemed to be strategic. In 2013, two minor properties were sold in order to streamline the logistics portfolio.

Capacity to deliver

Catena's existing logistics properties are well located. In addition to being situated near ports and transport arteries, many of the properties – particularly those located near growing cities – have the potential to be developed into city distribution centres or to be used for other purposes, such as residential or industrial premises. Catena has land, warrants and agreements in place to enable it to further strengthen its offering in accordance with market trends. The company has an efficient, decisive organisation with sound knowledge of the local market, solid industry experience and strategic expertise. The company also has a strong balance sheet. This provides excellent opportunities for the continued development of the operations.

Excerpt from an article in Destination Karlshamn News, November 2013: Unique logistics partnerships with municipalities:

Equipped for continued growth The new container terminal in Karlshamn is now complete and will

result in a major increase in the efficiency and capacity of cargo handling operations in Karlshamn.

Karlshamn is already the largest port in Sweden for rolling cargo to the Baltic States. Now the port is well equipped to meet the continued growth in the flow of cargo. Generally speaking, container handling is the fastest-growing form of cargo handling both nationally and internationally, and Karlshamn has seen a significant increase in container deliveries, particularly to Asia.

"The new container terminal represents an important step for cargo handling and the flow of goods via Karlshamn. We can now increase the efficiency and scale of our cargo handling operations and, in the long term, raise the proportion of cargo transported by rail," says Mats Olsson, CEO of Karlshamns Hamn AB.

"This investment shows that we are gearing up our resources considerably and matching the market and the investments in capital being made on the other side of the Baltic Sea. We now have a full service that meets the growing cargo flow via Karlshamn – all located only two kilometres from the Blekinge coastal rail line, to which there is now an electric rail connection from the container terminal. This terminal is an asset when it comes to handling all forms of cargo, not only by sea, and strengthens Karlshamn's position as a key cargo hub in the region and the country," concludes Mats Olsson.

Financial targets govern operations

Catena's management bases its work on three targets established by the Board of Directors with a focus on return and financial stability.

Target Comments Outcome

Return on equity

The return on equity is to exceed the interest rate on a Swedish five-year treasury bond by at least 5 percentage points. This level is deemed to provide reasonable compensation for the risk associated with the capital invested in the operations by the shareholders.

The 11.7% is above the target level, which is currently 6.8% , despite the fact that, as a result of the reverse acquisition, we are unable to take into consideration the results of the original Catena for the period through September. Combined with an increase in equity as a result of the acquisition, this is one of the main reasons why the net profit for 2013 on the closing date appears to be lower than in the preceding year.

Interest-coverage ratio

The interest-coverage ratio is not permitted to be less than a multiple of 1.75. This level provides an adequate safety margin, for example, in the event of rising market interest rate.

Combined with higher loan volumes as a result of an increase in the balance sheet and thus in interest expenses, the company's apparent decline in profit resulted in a lower interestcoverage ratio. However, the target was achieved with a highly satisfactory margin. The interestcoverage ratio amounted to a multiple of 3.2.

Equity ratio

The equity ratio is to be a minimum of 30%, a figure deemed to provide favourable return potential and to balance the risks in the operations

Equity increased as a result of a robust cash flow, the reverse acquisition and a capital contribution. At the same time, the loan-to-value ratio of the property portfolio declined. This had a positive impact on the equity ratio, which amounted to 32.6% on the closing date, meaning that the target was achieved.

Operations in 2013

2013 was an eventful year for Catena. The operations during the first nine months of the year mainly comprised monitoring the ongoing planning process for the Stora Frösunda property. On 30 September, the company acquired Brinova's portfolio of logistics properties and, in connection with the acquisition, the majority of the employees in Brinova's organisation assumed new positions within Catena. With the addition of a small number of new employees, we have assembled a comprehensive, agile team with a vast knowledge of the logistics and property sectors and extensive experience of developing and operating listed companies.

A year of transformation

Comments on the year

In August, Catena entered into a conditional agreement with Brinova Fastigheter AB concerning the acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB, which owned 44 logistics and warehouse properties comprising lettable floor space of 650,000 square metres. The acquisition was carried out in accordance with a decision passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting in September, at which point Catena took over 100% of the shares in Brinova Logistik AB. The acquisition provided Catena with a strong property business. Combined with the cash flows generated through the management of logistics properties, Catena's property expertise has enabled the company to capitalise on the value potential of the Haga Norra development project in Solna. The net value of the acquisition, less existing liabilities, amounted to SEK 1,145 million. The acquisition was financed through a private placement of 13.6 million shares to Brinova Fastigheter AB at a price of SEK 84. Following the completion of the private placement, the number of shares in Catena amounts to 25.2 million. The newly issued shares correspond to 54% of the total number of shares. As a result of the transaction, the equity in Catena increased from SEK 735 million to SEK 1,642 million. In conjunction with the acquisition, Gustaf Hermelin was appointed as CEO.

The acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB is recognised as a reverse acquisition, which means that Brinova Logistik AB is treated, for accounting purposes, as the acquirer in the transaction.

Accordingly, the Annual Report has prepared as a continuation of the financial statements of the Brinova Logistik AB Group and the comparative figures and current periods have been restated to reflect this. This means that Catena's income and expenses until 30 September were eliminated in the results. The acquisition was an asset

acquisition, which means that the value of the issued shares was determined based on the value of the assets acquired, in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.

The results and key performance indicators do not reflect the full effect of the merger. The full effect will first be achieved in 2014, when the full-year effects of completed projects have full impact. Comparative figures for Catena prior to the acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB are available on page 55.

The new issue of shares in conjunction with the acquisition resulted in key performance indicators that are not directly comparable from year to year without further analysis.

Turnover and net operating surplus

Income from contracts with long durations account for approximately 65% of Catena's total contracted annual rent. This results in stable income with little variation between periods, with the exception of the effects of acquisitions and sales. Following the completion of renegotia-

Net operating surplus by region % 80

tions and new lettings, the average duration of leases amounts to slightly more than five years. Compared with the preceding year, income from property, which amounted to SEK 316.8 million during the year, increased by SEK 30.6 million, mainly due to completed projects and acquired properties.

Property expenses declined by SEK 5.8 million, primarily as a result of new lettings in which the tenants assumed most of the operating costs. Net operating surplus rose SEK 36.4 million to SEK 221.3 million, causing the surplus ratio to increase from 65% to 70%.

Profit for the year

Profit for the year after tax declined SEK 81.9 million to SEK 138.4 million, mainly due to a smaller participation in joint venture profits, a reduction in positive value changes and an increase in negative deferred tax. The item Tax includes deferred tax attributable to the remeasurement of temporary differences in acquired companies amounting to SEK 5.6 million.

Changes in the property portfolio

Investments in existing properties during the year amounted to SEK 186.7 million, compared with SEK 206.6 million in the preceding year. The majority of this amount pertains to investments in new construction on the properties Köpingegården 1 in Helsingborg, and Backa 23:5 and Högsbo 21:2 in Gothenburg.

The property Stora Frösunda 2, known as Haga Norra, was acquired indirectly through the reverse acquisition carried out in conjunction with Catena's acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB. The property is a development property in Solna which is currently nearly fully leased. The property value of SEK 885 million mainly comprises an estimated value for the potential development rights that

can be realised through the work under way on the detailed development plan.

During the year, the logistics property Kroksabeln 17 in Helsingborg was acquired for SEK 17 million.

The property Terminalen 1 in Hallsberg, which comprises a container terminal, was acquired for SEK 140 million.

An agreement was entered into concerning the acquisition of the property Dikartorp 3:6 in Järfälla through a reallotment at a price of SEK 80 million. The property was considered to be acquired upon the signing of the agreement.

Two minor property sales were completed for a profit of SEK 2.4 million. The sales were carried out in order to streamline the logistics portfolio.

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow for the year amounted to SEK 213.4 million. Cash flow was impacted positively by the transactions carried out between Catena and Brinova Fastigheter AB through the settlement of prior intra-Group offset payments to Brinova Logistik AB. At the same time, cash flow declined as a result of investments in properties totalling SEK 268.9 million, which were partially financed through the raising of new loans.

Other significant events

  • At the Extraordinary General Meeting held in conjunction with Catena's acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB, a new Board of Directors was elected, with Erik Paulsson, Andreas Philipsson and Gustaf Hermelin being added to the Board and Christer Sandberg and Lennart Schönning stepping down.
  • A new senior management was appointed following the acquisition.
  • Catena has divided its operations into four regions: Stockholm Region, Gothenburg Region, Öresund Region and Projekt Solna.
  • In conjunction with the transaction, Catena assumed responsibility for most of Brinova Fastigheter AB's personnel. The new organisation comprises 20 individuals.
  • The new shares were admitted to trading on 18 October 2013 and Catena's registered share capital subsequently amounted to SEK 110,859,988.80 distributed among 25,195,452 shares.
  • The Board established new financial targets and a new dividend policy. Refer to pages 14 and 49.

The Board decided to appoint Mikael Halling as the new Deputy CEO of Catena.

Events after the end of the period

Catena acquired two properties amounting to SEK 396 million in Haninge and Nässjö. The properties comprise 48,000 square metres of logistics space. A private placement of SEK 50 million was conducted with the seller as a means of partially financing the acquisition of the properties.

Return

Although Catena's original result for the period until September cannot be included due to the reverse acquisition, the return on equity was above the target level. Combined with an increase in equity as a result of the acquisition, this is one of the main reasons why the net profit for 2013 on the closing date appears to be lower than in the preceding year.

Market outlook

Demand for premises in our market segment is strong. While the rent levels are unchanged compared with the preceding quarter, contact negotiations will provide an opportunity to raise these levels slightly, albeit with shorter contract periods. Catena sees opportunities for expansion in the coming years. The market for efficient logistics properties in optimal locations remains attractive as a result of the more stringent demands being imposed on environmentally efficient and cost-effective deliveries. Demand for development rights in Solna remains strong, particularly when it comes to residential properties.

The Extraordinary General Meeting held on 7 March approved a non-cash issue comprising 446,469 shares. Registration of these shares took place on 10 March 2014 and the dividend was thus calculated on the number shares outstanding as of this date, which totalled 25,641,921 shares.

Statement by the Board of Directors pursuant to Chapter 18, Section 4 of the Swedish Companies Act

Proposal of the Board of Directors

In the proposed appropriation of earnings, the Board of Directors proposes to the 2014 Annual General Meeting that Catena pay a dividend of SEK 2.00 per share for the 2013 financial year, which entails a total dividend payment of SEK 51,283,842. According to the Annual Report, Catena's equity ratio amounts to 32.6% for the Group. Following the proposed dividend, the equity ratio is expected to be approximately 31.9%. One of Catena's financial targets is that the Group's equity ratio should be a minimum of 30%.

Explanatory statement by the Board

In light of the aforementioned, the Board believes that the proposed dividend to shareholders is warranted considering the stipulations in Chapter 17, Section 3, Paragraph 2 and 3 of the Swedish Companies Act. The Board is of the opinion that there is full cover for the Company's restricted equity following the proposed dividend.

After the proposed dividend, the Board believes that the company's and Group's equity and liquidity will be sufficient considering the nature, scope and risk of operations.

The Board is of the opinion that the proposed dividend will not affect Catena's capacity to meet its short or long-term commitments. Moreover, the Board believes that the investments required for the company's operations will not be adversely impacted. While Catena's financial position could potentially enable a higher dividend, the Board took due consideration of the fact that Catena is currently in an acquisition and project implementation phase.

The property Backa 23:5 in Gothenburg. In June 2013, a new freezer storage facility with a high environmental profile was completed for Dagab. Up to 20% of the energy utilised by the facility is produced by solar panels installed on the property.

In place at key hubs

Catena is active in Sweden's most important population centres, which also serve as the basis for the company's business structure.

Stockholm Region

Along with the rest of the Mälardalen region and other key logistics areas such as Örebro, Norrköping, Katrineholm and Södertälje, Stockholm represents a significant population centre. The region accounts for a large portion of the country's cargo flows.

Significant events in 2013

  • The region established a local office in Nyköping is order to bring its operations closer to its customers and the market.
  • Large sections of the property Nattskiftet 11 in Västberga, Stockholm, were rebuilt into a cold and freezer storage facility for Grönsakshallen Sorunda.
  • The property Terminalen 1 in Hallsberg, which houses a container terminal covering 25,850 square metres, was acquired.
  • The property Dikartorp3:6 in Jakobsberg outside Stockholm was acquired. The 24,000-square-metre property, which is currently leased, will undergo improvement work carried out in cooperation with customers.
  • Following the establishment of a regional office, the company intensified its focus on reducing vacancy rates.

Gothenburg Region

Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city, serves as the centre of a region with a number of logistics-intensive towns, such Borås, Jönköping and Gnosjö, all of which have thriving business communities. The city is also home to Sweden's largest port, making Gothenburg one of the most important locations in the country for incoming and outgoing cargo.

Öresund Region

Öresund is the largest region in the Nordic countries with respect to population. It also serves as a gateway to the Continent. Major cargo flows for export, import or local consumption are transported via the Öresund Bridge and numerous ports located in the Swedish provinces of Skåne and Blekinge, as well as in Denmark

Projekt Solna

Projekt Solna primarily comprises the Haga Norra development property in Solna.

Significant events in 2013

  • The final stage of the property Högsbo 21:2, commonly referred to as Preppen, was converted into a logistics property. After new leases are signed with the tenants, including DHL, the property, which comprises 64,800 square metres of floor space, will essentially be fully leased.
  • A 7,300-square-metre, energy-efficient freezer storage facility was built at the property Backa 23:5 in Gothenburg. The excess

heat generated from the cooling system is used to heat the property, doors and loading platforms.

Since the vacancy rate in Gothenburg is essentially existent and the demand for good logistics premises is high, the company is actively looking for new properties to develop.

Significant events in 2013

  • The region established a local office in Helsingborg.
  • A new 14,400-square-metres logistics property was built for DHL at Köpingegården 1 in Helsingborg.
  • In Helsingborg's Berga district, the 7,400-square-metre logistics property Kroksabeln 17 was acquired. The property will be leased following improvement work.
  • The logistics properties Lejonet 6 and 7, and Remmen 1 in Åstorp, which comprise a total of approximately 12,000 square metres, were fully leased by new tenants.
  • Development continued on the logistics facilities Tostarp, located outside Helsingborg, and Sunnanå, located outside Malmö. The company owns construction-ready land in Tostarp, where it has already built a terminal, on which it plans to build approximately 100,000 square metres of additional space. Building work can begin in Sunnanå as soon as the detailed development plan has been approved, giving the company the potential to build a total of approximately 200,000 square metres of logistics premises.

Significant events in 2013

The property Stora Frösunda 2 was acquired indirectly through the reverse acquisition carried out in conjunction with Catena's acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB. The property, which comprises a development project in Solna, is now nearly fully leased. Once the detailed development plan is complete, our plan is to develop various types of residential and commercial premises.

Portfolio of prime locations

The lease portfolio for the collective portfolio, which primarily comprises logistics properties, is long-term and tenants largely include well-established logistics companies.

t 31 December 2013, Catena's property portfolio comprised 44 logistics and warehouse properties located near key transport arteries in southern Sweden and one development property in Haga Norra in Solna. The total lettable area comprises about 690,000 square metres, of which 91% consists of logistics and warehouse premises. The remaining area mainly comprises office space. The total rental value amounts to SEK 419.3 million and contractual annual rental income, including rental discounts, totalled SEK 365.7 million. The economic letting ratio was 87%. Slightly more than 44% of the contractual rental income falls due in 2019 or later. A

Lease structure

The lease portfolio is long-term and the majority of tenants comprise well-established companies, primarily logistics companies. At 31 December 2013, Catena's ten largest tenants accounted for approximately 73% of the Group's contractual rental income. However, it is worth noting that certain major customers have several contracting units. The leases for these ten tenants expire within one to 19 years. A table showing the maturity structure of the leases is presented on page 53.

Property acquisitions in all regions were primarily conducted within the framework of the acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB. The company's investments mainly pertained to new construction work on the properties Köpingegården 1 in Helsingborg, and Backa 23:5 and Högsbo 21:2 in Gothenburg. During the year, a small number of minor properties were sold in order to streamline the operations.

Approved investments

At 31 December 2013, Catena had approved, but not yet implemented, investments totalling SEK 81.4 million. All of the investments have been financed and payment has been made from existing funds.

Property valuation

Combined with effective procedures, clear guidelines and a thorough approach create the right conditions for an accurate valuation of assets and stable earnings and financing. In line with most listed property companies, Catena has opted to recognise its investment properties at fair value, in accordance with IAS 40.

Catena performs quarterly internal valuations of all of its investment properties. These valuations, which are used to determine the fair values recognised in the balance sheet, are derived using a six-year cash-flow model for each individual property. The model is based on actual income and expenses, adjusted for a normalised future earnings capacity in terms of both income and expenses. When assessing the future earnings capacity, factors taken into account include the expected changes in the rent level based on the individual lease's current rent compared with the market rent for each date of maturity, and changes in letting ratio and property costs. The yield value has then been calculated in a cash-flow statement per property. The yield value includes the value of the assessed future payment flows over the next five years and the present value of the assessed value of the property in five years' time. The yield value has then been adjusted for the value of ongoing projects and land with unutilised development rights.

Changes in value of investment properties

To ensure the accuracy of the internal valuation, external valuations are normally carried out on a selection of our properties. However, external valuations were performed for the entire portfolio in the third quarter of 2013 due to the acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB.

A degree of deviation is permitted between the internal valuation and the fair value before adjustment of the fair value is performed. The deviation should be in an interval controlled by a permitted deviation from the established yield requirement of +/- 0.25%. The fair value is only adjusted when the deviation exceeds the boundaries of this interval. This deviation is accepted since there is always an element of uncertainty in the estimated value.

A complete list of properties is available on pages 92-93.

Secured financing

Catena's financial strategy, mandate and risk taking are regulated by the Group's financial policy, as adopted by the Board of Catena.

he Group's treasury management, which is carried out by the Parent Company, Catena AB, ensures that funding and liquidity is secured, that payment systems are appropriate and that the Group's risk exposure is kept within the mandate decided by the Board. Catena has a policy that all borrowing should have a loan term of up to ten years. All borrowing is in SEK. The policy also states that, where possible, the fixed-interest term structure is to be adapted to the duration of leases signed. Consideration is also given to the current business plan for each property. To manage interest-rate risks, Catena uses financial instruments such as interest-rate swaps and interest-rate caps, as mandated by the Board. T

At 31 December 2013, the holding of swaps amounted to SEK 1,087.6 million and the interest-rate cap was SEK 28.0 million. The average interest rate, including the cost for unutilised lines of credit and derivatives, amounted to 3.1%.

Equity and liabilities

The Group is financed through equity amounting to SEK 1,641.9 million (735.0) and liabilities totalling SEK 3,396.1 million (2,708.1), corresponding to a total equity ratio of 32.6% (21.4). Catena's long-term target is for its equity ratio to exceed 30%.

Liabilities to credit institutions

Liabilities to credit institutions at 31 December amounted to SEK 2,963.0 million (2,058.9).

All loans were renegotiated and approved by the company's creditors in connection with Catena's acquisition of Brinova Logistik. During the third quarter, Catena took over property financing under the credit framework with a tied-up capital period of 2.5 years.

At 31 December 2013, the credit framework totalled SEK 3,270.0 million. The remaining contracted credit facilities amounted to SEK 307.0 million, all of which can be utilised in existing valuations of properties.

Interest-rate risk

Catena has an interest-rate swap contracts totalling SEK 1,087.6 million at an interest rate of less than 3%. The nominal value of the interest-rate swap contracts at 31 December 2013 was SEK 4.4 million. For more detailed information regarding financial risks and how these are managed by Catena, refer to Note 18 for the Group.

Working capital and cash flow

According to Catena's assessment, the company has sufficient working capital to meet its needs over the coming 12-month period. The property management operations have limited tied-up working capital since income from property are normally paid in advance and the company pays most of its operating and interest expenses in arrears. Consequently, no working capital is normally available for financing.

Cash flow for the year amounted to SEK 213.4 million (0.1). Cash flow from operating activities for the period totalled SEK 181.9 million (102.8). At 31 December 2013, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 213.6 million (0.2).

ADMINISTRATION REPORT

Our responsibility

To establish a positive financial trend over time, we must act in a manner that is tenable for the people and natural world around us. Catena aims to be a company where people want to work and are given the opportunity to develop and where we strive to achieve low resource consumption and a limited environmental impact. The most obvious way of achieving this is by minimising the environmental impact of our properties, for example, by reducing energy consumption and utilising smart solutions for waste management. However, I believe that Catena has the potential to make an even greater impact by helping its logistics customers create more resource-efficient logistics flows based on renewable energy. This is also the foundation of our business concept – establishing logistics properties in optimal locations, thereby creating the potential for smart logistics solutions. We base our assessment of what constitutes a prime location on access to rail, road and water transport, as well as the property's proximity to major cargo flows. Smart logistics solutions may involve creating opportunities for small e-commerce players to share a large logistics premises or finding new solutions for city logistics. By focusing on various aspects of sustainability, we are able to reduce the environmental impact of goods distribution while at the same time boosting our customers' profitability.

Gustaf Hermelin,CEO

Catena's sustainability activities

Catena aims to be involved in creating positive social development. Our work focuses on minimising the environmental impact of our properties, establishing the conditions for more sustainable logistics and being an employer that offers development opportunities.

uring the fourth quarter of 2013, shortly after Catena's acquisition of Brinova's logistics properties, we conducted an extensive stakeholder survey regarding our sustainability activities. During this process, the company's key stakeholders were asked to answer an online survey in order to identify the areas they consider most relevant to Catena's efforts to contribute to sustainable social development. The survey was sent to various internal stakeholders, including Catena's Board of Directors, management group and employees, as well as a number of external stakeholders, including the company's major tenants and suppliers. The results indicated a consensus with regard to the most important areas for Catena to prioritise: D

  • Create financial returns.
  • Establish the conditions for logistics flows with a minimal environmental impact.
  • Focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
  • Offer training and skills development for employees.
  • Aim for a low environmental impact in new builds and conversions.

All of the stakeholder groups responded with different combinations of these five areas ranked among their three most important areas, and all groups chose financial returns and minimal environmental impact as two of their top three priorities. All of the stakeholder groups indicated that they consider sustainability to be an important issue for Catena and that the area, if managed properly, could generate increased growth and profitability for the company and its customers.

Naturally, Catena's activities must generate a financial return – and the same is true for the company's sustainability work. This sustainability report describes Catena's work relating to three themes in the area of sustainability:

  • A sustainable future requires sustainable logistics.
  • Catena's environmental efforts.
  • Organisation and employees.

About Catena's sustainability report

Catena's sustainability report was prepared within the framework of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the world's most widely used sustainability reporting framework. The report was prepared in accordance with the GRI's new G4 guidelines and comprises a self-declaration at the Core reporting level.

All key performance indicators relating to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions pertain to full-year 2013 and have thus been calculated on a pro forma basis, where necessary. Visit www.catenafastigheter.se for more information on the contents of the report, as well as the company's assumptions, limits and GRI index.

Sothönan 3, Katrineholm.

The diagram above shows the level of priority assigned to various areas by management and various other stakeholder groups when asked to rank which areas are most important for Catena. The areas at the top-right of the diagram were ranked highest by both management and other stakeholders. The ranking by other stakeholders was determined by assigning an equal share of the results to each of the four stakeholder groups: Board of Directors, customers, suppliers and employees.

A sustainable future requires sustainable logistics

Transport is becoming increasingly important in today's globalised world. A large share of our domestic consumption is produced in other countries and our domestic production is largely being exported to various markets worldwide. This is resulting in an increased need for more resource-efficient logistics, which Catena aims to meet by acting as a central player with premises in right locations.

Container terminals optimise cargo flows

A large, growing portion of Catena's premises are located in areas with access to container terminals. This means that the properties are located near several forms of transportation, usually with various combinations of roads, railways, ports and dry ports. When a logistics property is located near a container terminal, tenants have greater opportunities to optimise their transport, regardless of whether the goal is to reduce costs, minimise their environmental impact or shorten their transport time.

When transporting over long distances, it is often profitable to transport goods by water or wail. For shorter distances, various types of road transport become more suitable since they offer greater flexibility. Air transport is often the most expensive and environmentally destructive alternative, but is nevertheless used when transport time is a crucial factor.

While road transport still accounts for 80% of all transport in Sweden, an increasing share of rail transport is commonly discussed in both business and political contexts. Provided that the trend toward a sharp increase in transport continues, rail transport will probably need to be utilised to a larger degree at both the national and international level. Rail transport is significantly more energy efficient that road transport, which entails a smaller environmental impact and the potential for improved cost efficiency.

International transport

A clear trend throughout Europe is that an increasing proportion of transport is now taking place by rail rather than by road. There are several reasons for this trend: road networks are becoming more heavily trafficked, demands for improved working conditions for commercial drivers are resulting in higher costs and there is always a risk of

delays. At the same time, Europa's railway system has become more integrated and it is becoming more common for companies to combine rail and road transport. Overall, the costs and risks associated with rail transport have declined – and as society becomes aware of the lower environmental impact of this alternative, more companies are opting to use rail transport instead of road transport. Catena's properties are strategically located to create the right conditions for the optimal use of various types of transport.

Rail transport has also started to replace transport by boat. The single most important reason for this is the transportation opportunities offered by the Trans-Siberian Railway. In the past, technical and political challenges meant that rail transport between Europe and Asia was a

costly and risky alternative. Conditions have improved dramatically in recent years and more global companies have opted to use rail transport for all or part of their intercontinental logistics. Catena's vision for Karlshamn is largely based on the increase in transport on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Companies that establish warehouses in Karlshamn have excellent opportunities to transport their goods by boat to Kleipeda, Lithuania, where they can be transported onward to Asia by train using the Trans-Siberian Railway. In this way, Karlshamn serves as Sweden's gateway to the Trans-Siberian Railway.

City logistics

When it comes to transporting goods in city environments, trains and boats are no longer an alternative – although using the underground and other rail solutions may be a viable solution for distributing goods in the future. For Catena, city logistics involves ensuring that road transport in city environments is as efficient as possible. The traffic situation in many Swedish cities has become difficult since passenger traffic and commercial traffic are forced to share limited road space. This has resulted in ineffective logistics from a cost, time and environmental perspective. This The property Ättehögen 2 in Jönköping is located along the E4

traffic situation also causes drivers of both passenger and commercial vehicles to become irritated and thus could potentially increase the risk of personal injury.

We believe that smart solutions for city logistics could improve the situation for everyone involved. Building warehouses and transshipment terminals in strategic locations outside major cities will help increase capacity levels and shorten transport routes. In some cases, this will involve using smaller transport vehicles for shorter distances, and in others, a higher degree of consolidated shipment, better route planning and improved cooperation between various players. While each situation is unique, we have ample opportunities to improve the efficiency of logistics in Sweden's major cities.

motorway, providing the logistics property with a prime location.

Catena's environmental efforts

The key environmental aspects for Catena's internal environmental efforts are the properties' energy consumption and its consequential environmental impact. To manage our environmental impact, Catena has an ISO 14001 certified environmental management system in place.

atena has identified five areas where operations have a significant environmental impact: C

  • Electricity consumption.
  • Heating consumption.
  • Coolants.
  • Choice of materials for new builds and conversions.
  • Waste management.

Overriding environmental targets and business goals exist for these aspects that are monitored and evaluated on an annual basis. Catena has internal managers at regional level and engages external contractors for the practical work on site. Catena's managers and the external contractors conduct regular meetings with our tenants to discuss items including development projects and environmental initiatives. In 2014, regional managers and contractors will receive training in the environmental management system to further enhance control of our environmental efforts.

Environmental policy

Catena's environmental policy states that we will always:

    1. Strive to outperform environmental legislation.
    1. Strive to minimise the use of energy, water, waste and material.
    1. Strive to minimise the use of products that are hazardous to health and the environment.
    1. Strive to work together with tenants to reduce environmental impact.

A tool for placing focus on and enhancing the environmental performance of buildings is to work with environmental certifications for buildings. Catena is a member of the Sweden Green Building Council network and can offer environmentally-certified buildings under all recognised standards for those customers who want green certification. In 2014, we are working with Green Building certification of one of our properties in the Öresund region and we welcome more such requests from customers

OUR RESPONSIBILITY – SUSTAINABILITY

Haga Norra comprises a major and crucial development project for us where we place heavy emphasis on energy-saving solutions.

Energy use

In pace with rising energy prices and increased awareness of environmental impact, our customers are increasingly requesting premises with low resource consumption. Standard practice with logistics properties is for the tenant to be directly responsible for the supply of both heating and electricity, which means that collaboration between Catena and our tenants is necessary for a low resource consumption at the properties.

In 2013, Catena implemented

several projects aimed at reducing electricity and heating consumption for specific tenants. In several of the projects, the tenant was directly responsible for energy supply and, therefore, we designed the investment in partnership with the customer to ensure Catena participated in the energy saving. The most common and profitable measure to reduce energy consumption is the installation of new light fittings and low-energy lighting – this measure normally has a payback time of less than three years. Other possible measures are additional insulation and various solutions to reduce energy loss through the buildings' entrances.

Another example of green measures that Catena can provide are solutions for renewable and locally produced energy in the form of solar cells and heat pumps. In 2013, we opened a newly built freezer storage facility where, in partnership with the customer, we installed solar cells as part of the building's energy supply. In addition, surplus energy in the cooling system is used to heat the yard in front of the entrances to keep it free of snow and ice. For customers who like to be at the forefront we can offer more extensive solutions with buildings that are, essentially, selfsufficient in terms of energy.

The sustainability report presents statistics for energy purchased by Catena. The purchased energy is reported

separately depending on whether it has been sold on or not based on standard rates for separately depending on whether the resold or not and whether it sold based on stencils or individually measured and paid for separately by the respective tenant. This distinction is particularly relevant as individually measured energy consumption provides the tenant with full control, whereas standard rates mean that, to a greater degree, Catena has control. At present, we have no reliable statistics for energy use in those properties

The table shows the energy purchased by Catena and sales of energy distributed between standard rate and individually measured sales.

where tenants themselves are responsible for purchasing electricity and heating. Since clear statistics comprise a key prerequisite for enhancing the energy-performance of premises, we endeavour to integrate customers' energy statistics in our own system.

Greenhouse gas emissions

Catena monitors the greenhouse gas emissions of operations in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), which is the most widely used international tool for making voluntary greenhouse gas emission inventories of organisations. In 2013, Catena's total greenhouse gas

emissions were 6,506 tonnes of CO2e, of which 99% arise from energy purchased.

Emissions form business travel and commuting

Environmental impact arising from our employees' business travel and commuting is extremely minor in relation to the environmental impact of energy use in our properties. Based on the last three months of this year, estimated results for business travel and commuting over the full year were 89 tonnes of CO2e. Of these emissions, 31 tonnes of CO2e were attributable to our employees' commutes.

Purchasing and collaboration with suppliers

Catena has very few employees in relation to the number of properties the company owns, which means that business partners and suppliers are key parts of our ongoing operations. This applies equally for new build and conversion projects under Catena's management. Therefore, it is important that suppliers have well-functioning environmental efforts. Catena only uses direct suppliers based in Sweden and, accordingly, our supplier requirements and assessments have been adapted based on local conditions.

In supplier assessments we primarily require environmental management systems certified under ISO 14001, but local suppliers are often smaller companies with insufficient resources to develop and certify comprehensive management systems. Accordingly, to allow the use of local suppliers in parallel with taken responsibility for environmental impact, Catena offers suppliers a simpler system to take note of environmental aspects in their operations. This system provides smaller suppliers with the possibility of working in similar ways as to ISO 14001, with guidelines, targets and training – but at a significantly

lower cost. In this way we support local businesses in parallel with increasing their environmental competence.

In addition to standard supplier requirements, for any construction project exceeding SEK 5 million, we require the preparation of an environmental plan. For contracts exceeding SEK 250,000, we require systems for assessing and following up the construction materials used. Suppliers must use one of the three most common systems for assessing construction materials – Byggvarubedömningen (BVB), SundaHus Miljödata or BASTA. For simpler projects carried out by local contractors, Folksam's green construction guide can be used.

Property Backa 97:10 in Gothenburg has an excellent location close to the E6.

Organisation and employees

Catena has a small but effective organisation comprised of individuals with substantial industry experience and strategic competence. This enables us to quickly identify and understand our customers' needs and then translate these into reality. We strive to promote an informal and open corporate culture.

Values steered business-minded approach

Good relations with internal and external stakeholders are key to Catena's success. The keys to balanced and successful stakeholder relations are good business ethics and a business-minded approach and, accordingly, our interaction in the relationships we have in our operating environment are imbued with our following four core values:

  • Openness, dialogue and straightforward communication, which will make us efficient, prompt and reliable.
  • Simplicity, which means that our work approach is straightforward and avoids bureaucratic red tape.
  • Proximity, which permits us to create good relations and gain an insight into problems and opportunities.
  • Genuine commitment, which permits us to go further in identifying superior solutions.

Our business decisions must always be defensible, from both a financial and an ethical perspective. Our property management and project development comply with the valid procurement legislation and other applicable rules required by the industry. As part of promoting correct

behaviour, we apply the property industry's code of practice based on ethical principles and which describes expectations of our own employees and our partners.

Catena as a workplace

Catena's employees lay the foundation for our success. To be able to attract, retain and develop the competence needed, Catena has placed high priority on being an attractive employer. We prioritise and encourage skills development and a stimulating working environment. Our employees should feel that there is a balance between work and leisure and feel able to manage their own time, take responsibility and develop as individuals. All employees at Catena are covered by collective agreements.

At the end of 2013, we carried out an employee survey, whereby all employees were able to express views of Catena as a company, our environmental efforts and our role as an employer. The employees rated Catena highly as an attractive employer, 4.4 on a scale of one to six.

The percentage of women at Catena was 37% at the end of 2013. At the end of 2013, Catena had 19 employees, of which all were full-time permanent employees. The management group comprises five individuals and no women, of the other 14 employees seven are women. Of the six members of the Board one is a woman.

We regard competence, experience and personal quali-

ties as being crucial factors for a position in the company, which means that we do not discriminate favourably or unfavourably based on aspects unrelated to the capacity of employees to carry out their work.

Skills development

Through actively working with employees' skills development Catena continues to develop. All our employees are given a wide range of possibilities for choosing training, courses and seminars they wish to participate in on Catena's account.

Personal development plans are prepared in conjunction with the annual employee dialogues carried out with all employees. Core and prioritised areas are law, accounting, management issues and the environment. Catena's positive approach to skills development is appreciated and comprises a key element of being an attractive employer. In parallel, it means our customers can feel secure that they have a business partner with up-to-date and competent employees that are continuously driven by the will to learn new things.

Ground rents are periodically renegotiated and there is no guarantee that the ground rent will not increase at the respective renegotiation, which can negatively impact Catena's earnings. Stockholm, 46 as leaseholds.

In some cases, increases are offset through indexation in the lease with the tenant, or in the renegotiation thereof.

Key individuals

The company has a relatively small organisation, which means a relatively high dependency on individual employees. To a great degree, Catena's future development depends on the knowledge, experience and commitment of the senior management and other key individuals.

All of Catena's executives have extensive experience of the property sector. Ongoing dialogues and development together with market terms contribute to low employee turnover. Furthermore, excellent prerequisites exist for successful succession for key individuals

Disputes

It cannot be excluded that Catena may become involved in a legal dispute or arbitration proceedings that have significant impact on Catena's earnings or financial position.

The risk of disputes is reduced through diligently prepared contracts and agreement.

Over the last three years, Catena has not been involved in any significant disputes.

Changes in value

Changes in property values

Catena reports its property portfolio at its assessed market value. This means that changed market values as a result of changed rent levels and vacancy rates, changed yield requirements and detailed development plan processes, etc., will impact Catena's earnings and balance sheet

Payment of reasonable acquisition prices, the number of properties and, in particular, a thorough analysis based on extensive experience reduces the risk of impaired property values, which is also balanced by the favourable earnings potential. Catena consistently values its property stock internally each quarter. The entire portfolio was valued by external appraisers in 2013. The external valuations and completed transactions confirm Catena's internal valuations.

Financing risks

Liquidity risk

This is defined as the risk of not having access to the liquid funds or credit facilities necessary to meet payment obligations, which can negatively impact Catena's earnings and financial position.

At the closing date, Catena had unutilised lines of credit totalling SEK 307.0 M.

Refinancing

The properties and shares owned by Catena are financed by a combination of loans and equity. The majority of financing comprises bank loans. There are no guarantees that existing credit providers will renew loans when they fall due.

The Group's financial policy stipulates how funding and liquidity is to be secured. Borrowing takes place in Swedish currency using a fixed-loan term of one to ten years. At 31 December 2013, the existing credit framework totalled SEK 3,270.0 million. Unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 307.0 M.

Loan maturity structure

Interest

Catena's single largest cost item is interest, which can vary over time. These changes can substantially impact Catena's earnings. Property values are also impacted by raised interest rate levels.

Catena's properties have been financed at market interest rates and financing costs are partly secured through derivatives. Fixed-interest terms are set in line with the duration of the lease, the type of property and with reference to the current business plan for the respective property. Catena expects to be able to maintain a low interest rate level that follows changes in the market with a time lag. Derivatives are detailed in Note 18 for the Group.

Indemnity risk

Acquired environmental damage

According to the Swedish Environmental Code, those who conduct operations that contribute to contamination are responsible for the ensuing treatment and remediation thereof. If the party that has conducted such operations cannot carry out or defray the cost of subsequent treatment and remediation, then the party that acquired the property – and who at the time of acquisition was aware of or should have been aware of the contamination – is liable.

Prior to each acquisition, Catena conducts a thorough analysis and risk assessment.

No complete investigation of possible environmental contamination in the property portfolio has been carried out. It cannot be precluded that environmental contamination exists that could result in costs and/or claims for compensation on Catena.

Injury to person or property

Property belonging to Catena can be destroyed by fire, theft or other damage. Similarly, through, for example, negligence Catena can cause injury to another person or another person's property.

Insurance has been contracted to cover any liability or property damage claims. The properties are covered by unlimited buildings insurance.

Over the last three years, no company in the Catena Group has had any significant insurance claim.

Responsible corporate governance inspires trust

Responsible corporate governance is key to the confidence of owners and all other stakeholders in the business. Naturally, it is of particular importance when two businesses merge. Only then, can all the good intentions behind Catena's acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB be realised and business activities developed. Therefore, it is gratifying in my capacity as Chairman to already be able to confirm that we have a well-balanced Board that functions well with the executive management. This means that we can make rapid, but well-founded decisions and create the trust that is so crucial to our short-term and long-term success.

Henry Klotz , Chairman of the Board

ll business decisions at Catena must be justifiable from a financial and ethical perspective.

duty of the Board to ensure there is a functioning reporting system.

Regular reports concerning Catena's and the Group's economic and financial position, current market issues, project reporting, and, in certain cases, underlying information for investment decisions and property sales, are presented at Board meetings.

In addition to being responsible for Catena's organisation and administration, the Board's key task is to make decisions on strategic issues. Each year, the Board sets the overall goals for the Group's operations and decides on strategies to attain these goals. The CEO's instructions and internal policy documents are also reviewed annually.

Auditor

Catena's auditors are elected at the AGM. The 2012 AGM elected registered public accounting firm PwC as the new auditor with auditor in charge Lars Wennberg for a period of four years. The auditor reports the results of his examination to the shareholders in the auditor's report. This is presented at the AGM. In addition, the auditor presents a detailed report to the Board twice annually. In conjunction with this report, a discussion is also held concerning the observations of the audit. In addition to auditing, PwC has also provided services in the areas of taxes and accounting.

Fees are paid according to approved invoices on an ongoing basis.

CEO

The CEO leads operations on the basis of the CEO's instructions drawn up by the Board. According to the instructions, the CEO is tasked with ensuring that the Board members receive regular information and reports on Catena's progress to enable them to make sound assessments and well-founded decisions.

The CEO must also ensure that Catena observes the obligations regarding information and so forth that arise from the listing agreement with NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.

The CEO's duties also include supervising compliance with the goals, policy and strategic plans established by the Board and ensure that they are submitted to the Board for updating or review whenever necessary.

Remuneration Committee

The Board of Catena has established a Remuneration Committee. The task of the Remuneration Committee is to prepare matters concerning remuneration and other conditions of employment for the CEO. The CEO, on the basis of principles established by the Board, determines remuneration of senior executives.

Audit Committee

Catena's Board has established an Audit Committee. The task of the Audit Committee is to maintain and add to efficiency in contacts with the Group's auditor and to supervise the procedures for auditing and financial reporting. The Committee also evaluates the work of the auditor and monitors how accounting principles and requirements are progressing. The Board has decided that all its members, with the exception of the CEO, are to be part of the Committee.

Stock market information

Catena submits prompt, simultaneous, correct and reliable information to existing and potential shareholders and other stakeholders. The company submits interim reports, a year-end report and an annual report for the entire financial year. Catena's website, www.catenafastigheter.se, presents current information on Catena, such as press releases and financial statements. Shareholders can download financial information from the company via the website. This information can also be ordered directly from Catena by telephone.

Internal control

The Board is responsible for internal control pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. This Corporate Governance Report is prepared in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 6 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and is thus limited to internal control and risk management related to financial reporting.

The basis of internal control is the control environment in which the work of the Board and executive management is set. The Board has adopted a number of important policies and basic guidelines for internal control programs, such as financial, environmental and information policies. The CEO presents regular reports to the Board on the basis of established routines and documents.

Catena's internal control structure is based on a clear division of responsibility and work between the Board and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CEO, as well as within operational activities. Operational activities include business control and business planning processes. Examples of these include tools for monitoring operations, preparations ahead of the purchase and sale of properties/companies, and underlying data for property valuations.

Control activities are performed at the individual property level in the form of current results and investment monitoring and, at the overall level, in the form of results analysis at the area level, analysis of key data and reviews of the Group's legal structure. In order to prevent and detect errors and deviations, there are, for example, systems for attestation rights, reconciliations, approval and reporting of business transactions, reporting templates as well as accounting and valuation policies. These systems are continuously updated. Internal information and external communication are regulated at the overall level by means of the information policy. Internal information in disseminated through regular information meetings.

1) The Board's proposed dividend.

The acquisition of Brinova Logistik AB is recognised as a reverse acquisition, which means that Brinova Logistik AB is treated, for accounting purposes, as the acquirer in the transaction. Therefore, the Annual Report was prepared as a continuation of Brinova Logistik AB. This means that Catena's income and expenses from January to September 2013 were eliminated in the results. The results and key performance indicators do not reflect the full effect of the

merger with Catena. The full effect will first be achieved in 2014, when the full-year effects of, among other things, completed projects have full impact.

The majority of Catena's properties are located at key logistic hubs by ports and along the major European motorways. This, in combination with the need for logistics premises becoming more volume dependent than operator dependent, means that Catena is less sensitive to terminated contracts.

Net operating surplus

Property expenses declined in 2013 to 30% of income from property, compared with 35% in 2012. This is primarily due to the majority of these costs having been transferred to tenants.

Property expenses

Profit from property management

Profit from property management, which as a consequence of Brinova Logistik's reverse acquisition of Catena, is not fully comparable with the preceding year, declined SEK 32 M in 2013. This was primarily attributable to an effect that arose in 2012 from interests in joint venture profits pertaining to the revaluation of a property in a partly owned company.

In addition, financial expenses increased, which was primarily attributable to renegotiations of liabilities to credit institutions and increased borrowing to finance the acquisitions made under the year.

Catena has signed agreements for interest-rate caps and interest-rate swap contracts to limit interest-rate risk.

Pre-tax profit

Pre-tax profit, which as a consequence of Brinova Logistik AB's reverse acquisition of Catena, is not fully comparable, declined SEK 47.6 M in 2013. The decline was primarily attributable to lower earnings from participations in joint ventures and lower positive value changes.

Net profit for the year

The tax expense, which in 2013 comprised deferred tax, increased SEK 34.3 M to SEK 46.3 M. The difference was attributable to a positive tax effect of SEK 39.7 M that arose in 2012 due to the change in tax rate from 26.3% to 22%.

NOTE 1

General information

Catena AB (publ), corporate registration number 556294- 1715, has its registered office in Solna, Sweden. The company is the Parent Company of a Group of companies including subsidiaries. The postal address of the head office is Box 1041, SE-262 21 Ängelholm, Sweden and the visiting address is Svenskehögsgatan 11 in Ängelholm, Sweden.

Catena's mission is to actively manage, enhance and proactively develop its property portfolio by identifying and conducting value-enhancing programs that raise the attractiveness of the properties and their yield, with due consideration of risk. Catena also sells properties when the opportunity to create further growth is deemed to be limited.

Operations in the Parent Company Catena AB are comprised exclusively of inter-Group activities and the assets mainly consist of shares and participations in subsidiaries which, in their turn, own properties or shares in property companies. The Parent Company is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, Small Cap. From 2 January 2014, the share has been listed on Mid Cap.

The annual accounts and consolidated financial statements were approved for release by the Board on 27 March 2014. The Group's income statement and balance sheet and the Parent Company's income statement and the balance sheet will be presented for the approval of the Annual General Meeting on 6 May 2014.

NOTE 2

Accounting and valuation policies

Amounts in SEK M unless otherwise specified.

Compliance with standards and legal requirements

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretation statements issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as approved by the European Commission for application in the EU. In addition, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups, has been applied.

The Parent Company applies RFR 2, which means the same accounting policies as the Group except in the cases stated in Note 1 for the Parent Company. Those deviations that occur between the Parent Company's and the Group's policies are caused by limitations in the possibilities for applying IFRS in the Parent Company as a consequence of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, in some cases, for tax reasons.

Preconditions for the preparation of the Parent Company's and the Group's financial statements

The Parent Company's functional currency is the Swedish krona (SEK), which is also the reporting currency for the Parent Company and the Group. This means that the financial statements are presented in SEK. All amounts, unless otherwise stated, are stated in SEK million. Assets and liabilities are recognized at historical cost, except for investment properties and certain financial assets and liabilities, which are recognized at fair value. Those financial assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value comprise derivative instruments.

Preparing the financial statements in accordance with

IFRS requires that senior management makes assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the recognized amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and the assumptions are based on historical experience and on a number of other factors that seem reasonable under the prevailing circumstances. The result of these estimates and assumptions is then used to assess the carrying amounts for assets and liabilities that are otherwise not clearly specified from other sources. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and assessments.

Those assessments made by the senior management on application of IFRS that have a material impact on the financial statements and estimates made that can entail material adjustment of following years' financial statements are described in the note for the item that could be the subject of any such adjustment.

The accounting principles presented below for the Group have been applied consistently for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated below. The Group's accounting principles have been applied consistently for the reporting and consolidation of the Parent Company, subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures.

New and amended standards applied by the Group

None of the IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are mandatory for the first time as of the 2013 financial year have had or are assessed as having any material impact on the Group.

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement aims to make fair value measurements more consistent and less complex. The standard provides an exact definition and a joint source in IFRS to fair value measurements and associated disclosures where a fair value measurement is applicable. The impact has primarily meant changes in the description of the accounting policies and increased disclosure requirements.

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements introduces changes pertaining to other comprehensive income. The most significant change in the amended IAS 1 is the requirement that items recognised in other comprehensive income are presented in two separate groups. The allocation is based on whether items can be reclassified to profit or loss (reclassification adjustments) or not. The amendment does not address the issue of which items should be included in other comprehensive income.

New and amended standards that have yet to enter inte force

Several new standards and interpretations had not yet entered into force when the consolidated financial statements were prepared as of 31 December 2013. A brief description is made below of the standards and statements that are assessed as possibly impacting the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, addresses classification, measurement and accounting for financial assets and liabilities. IFRS 9 is intended to replace IAS 39 and those parts that have been published to date address classification, measurement and hedge accounting. At the current date, the full standard is not ready, which means that the Group is unable to determine any possible impact at present. The Group intends to apply the new standard from the date specified by the EU for its application.

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities will be applied from 1 January 2014. The assessment of the Group is that the standards will only impact certain disclosures.

IFRIC 21 – Levies means an interpretation of IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

IAS 37 outlines the criteria for accounting for liabilities, of which one criterion is that the company has an existing obligation due to a past event (also termed the obligating event). The interpretation makes clear that the obligating event that triggers the obligation to recognise a liability to pay a tax or fee is the activity described in the applicable legislation as the event that triggers the obligation to pay the fee. The Group also intends to apply IFRIC 21 from the date specified by the EU for its application.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are recognized in a manner that corresponds to the internal reporting submitted to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM is the function that is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments. In Catena, this function is identified as the CEO and senior management, that is, the unit at Catena that makes strategic decisions.

Classification

Non-current assets and long-term liabilities, essentially, consist of amounts expected to be recovered or paid after more than 12 months of the balance-sheet date. Current assets and current liabilities, essentially, consist only of amounts expected to be recovered or paid within 12 months of the balance-sheet date.

Consolidation principles

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are companies in which Catena AB has a controlling influence. A controlling influence implies directly or indirectly a right to determine a company's financial and operational strategies in order to gain financial benefits, which is the general rule with a shareholding of 50% or more of the voting rights. In assessing the existence of a controlling influence, potential voting shares that can be utilized or converted promptly are taken into consideration.

Subsidiaries are recognised in accordance with the acquisition method if the acquisition of a subsidiary meant the acquisition of a business and not solely of assets and liabilities. This method entails that the acquisition of a subsidiary is treated as a transaction through which the Group indirectly acquires the subsidiary's assets and assumes its liabilities and contingent liabilities. The consolidated cost is established through an acquisition analysis in conjunction with the acquisition of operations. The analysis establishes the cost of the participation rights or the business, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed. The acquisition value of the shares in the subsidiary or business comprises the fair values as of the day of transfer for assets, liabilities arising or assumed and issued equity instruments paid in consideration for the net assets acquired. The acquisition value includes the fair value of all assets and liabilities resulting from an agreed conditional purchase price. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date. For each acquisition, the Group determines if the non-controlling interest in the acquired company should be recognised at fair value or at the holding's proportional share of the acquired company's net assets.

If the cost exceeds the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, this difference is recognised as goodwill. If the cost is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and the contingent liabilities, this difference is recognised in profit or loss.

When the acquisition of subsidiaries means the acquisition of investment properties that are not part of a business, the cost is allocated over the individually identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date. All acquisitions of subsidiaries in 2012 and 2013 were recognised as asset acquisitions. The financial statements of subsidiaries are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements from the moment controlling influence arises until the date the controlling influence ceases.

Joint ventures

For accounting purposes, a joint venture is a company for which the Group, through partnership agreements with one or more parties, has shared control over the operational and financial management. Participations in joint ventures are recognised according to the equity method. The equity method means that the Group's carrying amounts for shares in associated companies correspond to the Group's share of the associated companies' equity as well as consolidated goodwill and any other remaining values of consolidated surplus and deficit values. In the consolidated income statement the Group's share of associated companies' net earnings after taxes adjusted for any depreciation, amortisation, impairment losses or reversals of acquired surplus and deficit values is reported as participations in joint venture profits. Dividends received from associated companies reduce the carrying amounts of the investment. Participations in joint venture profits are recognised under operating profit. The equity method is applied from the moment that shared controlling influence arises and until the time when the shared influence ceases.

Transactions that are eliminated on consolidation

Intra-Group receivables and liabilities, income or expenses and unrealised gains or losses arising from intra-Group transactions among Group companies are entirely eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealised gains that arise from transactions with associated companies and jointly controlled companies are eliminated to an extent that corresponds with the Group's participation in the company. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same manner as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that no indication of a need for impairment exists.

Transactions with holdings without controlling influence

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with the Group's shareholders. In the case of acquisitions from non-controlling interests, the difference between the price paid and the actual share acquired of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets is recognised in equity. Gains and losses on divestments to non-controlling interests are also recognised in equity.

Divestment of a controlling influence, significant influence and shared influence respectively

When the Group no longer exercises a controlling influence, significant influence or shared influence, each remaining holding is remeasured at fair value and the change recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is used as the first carrying amount and comprises the basis for continued reporting of the remaining holding in the associated company, joint venture or financial asset. All amounts pertaining to the divested operations that were previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised as if the Group had directly divested the attributable assets or liabilities. This means that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

1

Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. The functional currency is the currency in the primary economic environments where the companies conduct their operations. All units in the Group use the Swedish krona (SEK) as their functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the closing exchange rate. Exchange-rate differences that arise on translation are recognised in profit or loss.

Transactions with countries outside of Sweden only arise in exceptional cases.

Income is recognised in profit or loss when material risks and benefits have been transferred to the counterparty. If any material uncertainty exists regarding payment, attached costs or risk and if seller retains an involvement in the day-to-day management such as would usually be associated with ownership, the payment is not taken up as income. Income is recognised at the fair value of what has been received or is expected to be received after deductions for any discounts given.

Income from property

Income from property and rental discounts are recognized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss, based on the terms and conditions of the lease. Prepaid rent is recognised as prepaid income from property. Income from early redemption of leases is recognised as income in the period when the payment is received unless any additional performance is required from Catena. Invoiced property tax and utilities costs are recognised as income in the period in which they are invoiced by Catena.

Income from property sales

Catena recognises income and costs from the acquisition and sale of property at the date risks and benefits are transferred to the purchaser, which normally coincides with the occupancy date.

Any agreement between the parties pertaining to risks and benefits, and involvement in the day-to-day operations is taken into account when assessing the moment in time for recognising income. Furthermore, any circumstances that could impact the outcome of the transaction which are outside the seller's and/or the buyer's control are taken into account.

Criteria for income recognition is applied individually for each transaction.

Operating expenses and financial income and expenses Central administration

This includes the cost at overall Group level for items including Group management, personnel administration, IT, investor relations, audits, financial statements and listing costs.

Expenses for operational leases

Expenses relating to operational leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Benefits received in connection with the signing of an agreement are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses consist of interest income on bank funds and receivables, interest expense on loans, dividend income and capital gains and losses realised on derivative instruments.

Interest income on receivables and interest expense on liabilities are calculated using the effective interest method. Effective interest is the interest-rate at which the present value of all future incoming and outgoing payments during the fixed-interest term is equal to the carrying amount of the receivable or liability.

Interest income and interest expense respectively include amounts distributed over time for transaction expenses and any discounts, premiums and other differences between the initial carrying amount of the receivable or liability and the amount settled when the item falls due for payment.

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment has been established.

Tax

Income taxes consist of current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except where the underlying transaction is recognised directly in equity, in which case the underlying tax effect is recognized in equity. Current tax is the tax payable or receivable for the current year, which includes adjustment of current tax attributable to preceding periods.

Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the balance-sheet method, based on temporary differences between the accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities. The following temporary differences are not are not taken into consideration: temporary differences arising on initial recognition of goodwill, the initial reporting of assets and liabilities that are not business combinations and that at the transaction date do not impact the carrying amount or the taxable earnings. Nor are temporary differences attributable to participations in subsidiaries and associated companies that are not expected to be reversed within the foreseeable future taken into account. The valuation of deferred tax is based on how the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities are expected to be realised or settled.

Deferred tax assets pertaining to deductible temporary differences and loss carry-forwards are recognised only insofar as they are likely to result in lower tax payments in the future.

Deferred tax is calculated by applying the tax rates and tax rules that have been decided or were, for all practical purposes, decided at the balance-sheet date.

In legal entities, untaxed reserves are recognized including the deferred tax liability. However, in the consolidated financial statements untaxed reserves are divided into deferred tax liabilities and equity.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet include assets such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loan receivables and derivatives. Equity and liabilities include financial instruments in the form of accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives.

A financial asset or liability is recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the commercial terms and conditions of the instrument. Accounts receivable including rent claims, termed accounts receivable in the Annual Report, are recognised when the invoice has been sent. A liability is recognised when the counterparty has performed and a contractual obligation to pay exists, even if an invoice has not yet been received. Accounts payable are recognised when invoices are received. A financial asset is removed from the balance sheet when the rights inherent in the agreement are realised or expire or if the company loses control over them. This applies equally for part of a financial asset. A financial liability is removed from the balance sheet when the obligation arising from the agreement has been met or has otherwise been extinguished. This applies equally for part of a financial liability.

Acquisitions and disposals of financial assets are recognised on the transaction date, which is the date on which the company agrees to acquire or dispose of the asset.

Financial instruments are classified at initial recognition based on the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. Financial instruments are initially recognized at cost, corresponding to the fair value of the instrument with a supplement for transaction expenses. This applies to all financial instruments except those categorised as financial assets recognised at fair value via profit or loss, which are recognised at their fair value excluding transaction expenses. Subsequent reporting depends on their classification in accordance with what is outlined below.

In conjunction with every report, the company makes an assessment of whether there are objective indications that a group of financial assets requires impairment. For further information, please refer to the Impairment section below.

Financial assets measured at fair value via profit or loss This category includes financial assets held for sale and other financial assets that the company has chosen to place in this category. Catena reports derivatives under this category that are not held for hedge accounting purposes.

Loan receivables and accounts receivable

Loan receivables and accounts receivable are financial assets that are not derivatives with fixed payments or payments than can be determined, and are not listed on an active market. The receivables arise on cash lending and when Catena provides services directly to the credit recipient without intending to trade in the receivables. This category also includes acquired receivables. The liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Amortised cost is determined on the basis of the effective interest rate calculated at the time of acquisition. This means that surplus and deficit values and direct transaction expenses are accrued over the term of the instrument. Accounts receivable are recognised in the amount expected to be received after deduction of doubtful receivables, which are assessed on a case-by-case basis. The expected maturity of accounts receivable is short and, accordingly, amounts are recognised at the nominal amount without discounting. A provision for impairment of accounts receivable is made when objective evidence exists that the Group will not be able to receive all the amounts due in line with the original terms and conditions of the receivable. Significant financial difficulties for debtors, the likelihood that the debtor will go into receivership or undergo financial reconstruction and default or late payment (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that there may be a need for impairment of an account receivable. The size of the provision comprises the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows. An impairment of accounts receivable is recognised in profit or loss as a reduction in operating income and impairment of a loan receivable is recognised under the item, financial expenses.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value via profit or loss This category comprises derivatives (stand-alone and embedded) that are not used for hedge accounting. Liabilities in this category are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis and any value changes are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost This category includes loans and other financial liabilities, for example, accounts payable. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net after transaction expenses. Thereafter, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost and any difference between amounts received (net after transaction expenses) and the repayment amount is recognised in profit or loss allocated over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

Early repayment charges on early redemption of loans are recognised in profit or loss at the redemption date. Longterm liabilities have an expected maturity exceeding one year, while current liabilities have a maturity of less than one year. Accounts payable and other operating liabilities with short maturities are recognised at nominal value. Dividends paid are recognised as a liability from the moment the AGM adopts the dividend.

Derivative and hedge accounting

Catena does not apply hedge accounting. All derivatives are reported under the following categories: Financial assets measured at fair value via profit or loss and financial liabilities measured at fair value via profit or loss.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of loans and interest-rate hedge agreements is determined by discounting future cash flows by the quoted market interest rate for each maturity. The values of interest-rate cap agreements are determined by using the option pricing model. In all cases level 2 is applied under IFRS 13.

Set-off of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts recognised in the statement of financial position, only, when the following criteria are met:

  • A legal right exists to offset the recognised amounts, and
  • The company intends to settle the items with a net amount or, in parallel, realise the assets and liabilities. Financial income and expenses are offset in profit or loss when they are connected to the offset financial assets and liabilities.

More information is available about accounting policies and financial risk management in Note 18, Financial instruments and financial risk management.

Cash and cash equivalentsl

Cash and cash equivalents includes liquid funds and immediately available balances at banks and equivalent institutions as well as short-term liquid investments with maturities of less than three months from the acquisition date that are exposed to only insignificant risk of changes in value.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet if it is likely that future economic benefit will accrue to the company, and the cost of the assets can be reliably determined.

Property, plant and equipment is recognised in the Group at cost after the deduction of accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The cost includes the purchase price and directly attributable expenses for bringing the asset on site and to working condition for its intended use. Loan expenses under the production time are included in the cost of larger new builds, extensions and conversions that take considerable time to complete.

Where property, plant and equipment comprises components with significant differences in useful life, these are treated as separate components of property, plant and equipment.

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised from the balance sheet on disposal or sale or when no future economic benefits can be expected from its use. Gains or losses from the sale or disposal of an asset consists of the difference between the asset's selling price and carrying amount less direct selling expenses. Gains or losses are recognised as other operating income/expenses.

Additional expenses are added to the cost only if it is likely that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will accrue to the company, and that the cost can be reliably determined. All other additional expenses are recognised as a cost in the period they arise. Any undepreciated carrying amounts for exchanged components or parts of components are disposed of and expensed in conjunction with the exchange. Repairs are expensed on an ongoing basis.

Depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment Depreciation is performed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

The following depreciation rates are applied for equipment:

Equipment, fixtures and fittings 5-20 years The depreciation methods and the residual value and useful lives of the assets are tested at each year end.

Investment properties

Investment properties are those held with a view to generating income from property or value appreciation or a combination of the two. Investment properties are initially recognised in the balance sheet at cost, which includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition. Thereafter, investment properties are recognised in the balance sheet at fair value. If the Group starts a conversion of an existing investment property for continued use as an investment property, the property continues to be recognised as an investment property which is recognised under the fair value method. This remeasurement of fair value over the course of the year takes place through an internal valuation, which is described in more detail in Note 11. This valuation model means a present value estimate of assessed future payment flows. If, during the current year, any significant value changes exist for individual properties, revaluation is carried out in conjunction with the quarterly reports. Quality assurance is carried out of any internal valuations performed through taking samples, which are then externally valued every year, after which a reconciliation is carried out for internal and external valuations. Investment properties are at level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.

Both unrealised and realised value changes are recognised in profit or loss. Realised value changes pertain to changes in value over the last financial quarter for properties sold. Unrealised value changes pertain to other changes in value. On the acquisition of properties or companies the transaction is usually recorded as of the occupancy date, since the risks and benefits of ownership typically accrue as of that date. Rental income and income from property sales are recognized in accordance with the principles described in the section on operating income.

Additional expenses

Additional expenses are added to carrying amounts. Additional expenses are added to the carrying amounts only if it likely that the future financial benefits associated with the asset will accrue to the company and the cost can be estimated in a reliable manner. All other additional expenses are recognised as a cost in the period they arise. Repairs are expensed as expenditure arises.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to purchases, construction or production for larger new builds, extensions and conversions of assets that take considerable time to complete for the intended use or sale are included in the cost of the asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs is carried out with the prerequisite that it is likely that these will lead to future financial benefits and the costs can be reliably measured.

Impairment

The carrying amounts for the Group's assets are reviewed on each balance-sheet date to ascertain whether any need for impairment exists. IAS 36 is applied for testing the need for impairment of assets other than financial assets, which are tested under IAS 39, IAS 40 – Investment Properties Carried at Fair Value and deferred tax assets. The valuation of the excepted assets as noted above is tested in accordance with the applicable standard.

Impairment testing of tangible assets and participations in subsidiaries, associated companies, joint ventures, etc. If an indication of a need for impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated under IAS 36 as the higher of the asset's value in use and fair value less selling expenses. When calculating the value in use, future cash flows are discounted at an interest rate before tax that takes into account the market's assessment of the risk-free interest rate and the risk associated with the specific asset. If it is not possible to establish substantially independent cash flows to individual assets, the assets are grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level where substantially independent cash flows can be identify (known as a cash generating unit). Impairments are recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are expensed in profit or loss.

Impairment testing of financial assets

In conjunction with every report, the company makes an assessment of whether objective evidence exists a financial asset or group of assets requires impairment. Objective evidence consists partly of observable conditions which have occurred and which have a negative impact on the ability to recover the cost, as well as from significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a financial investment classified as an available-for-sale financial asset.

Any impairment of loan receivables and accounts receivable, which are recognised at amortised cost, is calculated as the present value write-down of future cash flows discounted at the applicable effective interest rate when the asset was initially recognised. Assets with short maturities are not discounted. Impairment losses are expensed in profit or loss.

Impairments losses are not reversed

Impairments are reversed if indications exist that the impairment need no longer exists and a change has occurred in the underlying assumptions for the calculation of the recoverable amount. A reversal is only carried out to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been reported after any applicable deduction for depreciation, if no impairment had been carried out.

Impairment of loan receivables and accounts receivable that are recognised at amortised cost are reversed if a subsequent increase in amortised cost can objectively be attributed to an event occurring after the impairment was made.

Cash-flow statement

The cash-flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method. The recognised cash flow only comprises transactions that entail payments in or out. Cash and cash equivalents in the cash-flow statement correspond to the definition of cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet.

Share capital

Buyback of Catena shares Holdings of treasury shares and other equity instruments are recognised as a reduction in equity. The acquisition

1

18 19

20

21 22 23

24

of such instruments is reported as a deduction from equity. Proceeds from disposals of equity instruments are recognised as an increase in equity. Transaction expenses directly attributable to the issue of new shares or warrants are recognised, net of tax, in equity as a deduction from the issue proceeds.

Earnings per share

Calculation of earnings per share is based on consolidated profit for the year attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders and the number of shares outstanding at year-end. No instruments that entail dilution effects exist for the 2013 and 2012 financial years.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits in the form of salaries, holiday pay, paid sick leave, etc. as well as social security contributions are recognised as these are earned.

Pensions

Catena has various pension plans. Generally, the pension plans are funded through payments to insurance companies or nominee registered funds, where payments are determined by periodic actuarial calculations. Agreements regarding pensions and other compensation paid after termination of employment are classified as definedcontribution or defined-benefit pension plans. A definedcontribution pension plan is a pension plan, whereby Catena pays defined premiums to a separate legal entity. Catena has no legal or informal obligations to make further payments if the legal entity has insufficient assets to discharge all payments of employee benefits relating to employee service in current or prior periods. A definedbenefit pension plan is a pension plan without defined contributions. Instead, defined-benefit plans specify an amount that the employee will receive as a pension benefit following retirement. This is normally based on several factors including age, length of service and salary. Catena has defined-contribution pension plans and commitments for pensions under the so-called ITP plan which, according to a statement issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board UFR 6, is a multi-employer defined-benefit plan.

The company has not been provided with information for the 2004-2013 financial years that would allow the reporting of its commitments under the ITP plan as a defined-benefit plan. Accordingly, commitments under the ITP plan, which are secured through an insurance with Alecta, are reported as a defined-contribution plan. The year's fees for pension insurance contracted with Alecta amounted to SEK 12.1 M (0.0). For 2014, the company is expected to pay about SEK 1.0 M to Alecta. Alecta's surplus can be distributed to the policy owners and/or insured parties. At the end of 2013, Alecta's surplus in the form of the collective consolidation level was 148% (129). The collective consolidation level comprises the market value of Alecta's assets as a percentage of the insurance obligation calculated in line with Alecta's actuarial assumptions, which do not comply with IAS 19.

Commitments as regards fees for defined-contribution plans are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as they arise.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by Catena in advance of the normal retirement date or if an employee accepts leaving service voluntarily to receive such benefits. Catena recognises termination benefits when the Group is demonstrably required to terminate employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal. Benefits that fall due more than 12 months after the balance-sheet date are discounted to present value.

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Group has an existing legal or informal commitment due to an event that has occurred and it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the commitment, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. A present value calculation is made to take into account significant time values for future payments.

Contingent liabilities

A contingency is recognised when there is a potential commitment that stems from events that have occurred and whose existence is confirmed only if one or more uncertain future events, which are outside of the company's control, occur or do not occur, or when there is a commitment that stems from events that have occurred, but which is not recognized as a liability or provision because it is unlikely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the commitment or because the amount cannot be reliably calculated.

Leasing – lessee

Leases are classified in the consolidated financial statements either as financial or operational leasing. Financial leasing exists when the economic risks and benefits associated with ownership are, essentially, transferred to the lessee, and where this is not the case the lease is defined as operational leasing. Operational leasing means that the leasing fee is recognised as a cost in profit or loss, and allocated over the term, starting from initial utilization, which may differ from what has actually been paid in the form of leasing fees during the year.

Leasing – lessor

The Group enters into operational leases with customers in its capacity as landlord, see Note 4. Accounting policies for the recognition of rental income are stated above.

Significant assessments in the Group's accounting policies

Catena's acquisition of Brinova Logistik has been deemed to comprise a reverse acquisition since it led to a material change in the ownership structure of the Group. This means that from an accounting standpoint, Brinova Logistik is deemed the acquirer and, accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared as a continuation of this company. The actual acquisition of Catena is assessed as an asset acquisition, which means that the value of the issue made is based on the group of assets acquired.

Transfer prices between the Group's various segments are calculated at market rates.

Directly attributable items and items that can be allocated to segments on a reasonable basis are included in the earnings, assets and liabilities for each segment. The allocation of property administration costs was primarily based on the area. The segments' investments in property, plant and equipment and investment properties include all investments apart from investments in short-term inventories and inventories of minor value.

The Parent Company's earnings, after allocation of the results of sales of participations in Group companies, are included in the unallocated amount. Following elimination of participations in Group companies and intra-Group settlement as well as redistribution of participations in joint ventures, the Parent Company's assets and liabilities are included in the unallocated amount.

The Group's segments comprise the following areas:

Stockholm – comprises 21 properties in Norrköping, Karlstad, Katrineholm, Södertälje, Örebro, northern and southern Stockholm as well as individual properties in the north of Sweden.

Gothenburg – comprises ten properties in Gothenburg, Borås and Jönköping.

Öresund – comprises 13 properties in Helsingborg, Åstorp, Malmö, Kristianstad, Halmstad and Ljungby.

Projekt Solna – comprises one development property in Haga Norra in Solna.

Catena's operating segments have been established based on information, which Catena's Board (the CODM at Catena) has gathered to evaluate and make strategic decisions.

Income of about SEK 130.2 M (120.0) pertains to one individual external customer. This income is spread across the various regions.

All operations are carried out in Sweden and, accordingly, all turnover was generated and all non-current assets located in Sweden.

Remuneration to the Board and CEO pertains to the Board and CEO of the Parent Company.

Directors' fees and terms of employment and dismissal for senior executives

Policies

Remuneration paid to the CEO and other senior executives comprises base salary and other remuneration (which comprises bonus and mileage allowance) and pension. The term senior executives refers to the four individuals at Catena who, together with the Chief Executive Officer, comprise the senior management. For the composition of senior management, see page 47.

Pension benefits and other remuneration paid to the CEO and other senior executives is paid as part of total remuneration.

For services rendered in respect of business management as well as financial and real estate advice, remuneration at market rates of SEK 0.2 M (-) and SEK 0.2 M (-) respectively was paid to companies owned by the Board members Erik Paulsson and Andreas Philipson, who was CEO for part of 2013. The amounts are not included in the above table. Directors' fees to Board member Lennart Schönning, who stepped down in 2013, were paid to one of Lennart Schönning's own companies.

Bonus

Bonus is payable to the CEO in an amount of 1% of consolidated pre-tax profits, to the extent this amount exceeds the budget set by the Board, with a cap set at an amount corresponding to 50% of fixed salary in the same calendar year. Bonus decisions are made on an annual basis and do not imply any entitlement to bonuses in coming years, nor do bonuses qualify for pension purposes. In addition, senior executives can receive a bonus in addition to their fixed salaries. Other senior executives can receive a maximum bonus of 25% of their fixed annual salary. The main Group policy is a fixed monthly salary. For a number

of individuals engaged in renting and development work at the company, a performance-based bonus system exists within the framework of the remuneration policy, whereby renting and development performance that exceeds budget provides possibilities for a maximum bonus of one month's salary. In some cases the target is not measurable. This type of bonus is only permitted to amount to 20% of the total bonus.

The Remuneration Committee prepares the item regarding the Board's bonus commitments for 2013 in spring 2014. The bonus expense arises when the decision is made by the Remuneration Committee. No bonus was paid in the Group in 2013.

The bonus system only comprises one year at a time, currently only 2013. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for evaluation of the system and the outcome.

Pensions

The pension age of the Chief Executive Officer is 65. Pension contributions are made at 35% of pensionable salary. Contractual ITP is utilised first and, thereafter, the remainder is allocated to other pension insurances. Pensionable salary is calculated according to the ITP plan's rules.

The pension age for the Deputy CEO and other senior executives (4 individuals in total) is 65. Their pensions are secured through insurances. The pension agreements stipulate pension premiums of 28-35% of pensionable salary. In addition, other senior executives are also covered by the ITP agreement.

The pension expense corresponds to expenses for defined-benefit plans under IAS19.

Severance pay

On termination by the Company, in addition to salary for the 12-month (6) notice period, a severance payment amounting to at most amount to 12 months' salary is payable to the Chief Executive Officer. Should the CEO secure other employment or start his own operations, the severance payment is offset by income from the new employer. In the event of notice being provided by the CEO, the notice period is six months.

The employment contracts with the Deputy CEO and other senior executives can be terminated by Catena with a notice period of six months. In addition to salary during the notice period, severance pay corresponds to six months' salary and is paid at the end of the notice period. Should Catena release the executives from the obligation to work during the notice period, any income from new employment or own operations is offset against salary from Catena. In the event of notice being provided by the executive, the notice period is six months. In this case no severance payment is made.

During the year, Andreas Philipson stepped down as CEO and took up a place on Catena's Board. No severance payment was made to senior executives whose employment ended.

Preparation and decision process

During the year the Remuneration Committee provided the Board with recommendations for policies for remuneration to senior executives. The recommendations included the proportions between fixed and variable remuneration and the amount of any pay increases. The Remuneration Committee appointed by the Board prepares, negotiates and submits proposals to the Board regarding the terms for the CEO. Following proposals from the CEO, the Remuneration Committee determines remuneration to other senior executives. The Remuneration Committee also decides whether any bonus is payable and then evaluates the system and the outcome.

All decisions taken by the Remuneration Committee are reported back to the Board.

The Remuneration Committee met on one occasion in 2013.

1) Borrowing costs are expensed to earnings in the period to which they pertain except for the interest expense under the production time pertaining to larger new builds, extensions and conversions that take considerable time to complete. These are organised as their own companies where all borrowing pertains to these new builds, exten sions and conversions, which means that interest expense attributable loans in these companies is capitalised. Capitalised interest expense was SEK 2.0 M (-).

All of the Group's properties are assessed as being at level 3 in the valuation hierarchy. The Group's properties comprise primarily logistics properties, which have similar risk profiles and valuation methods. The Group also has one significant project property. Since the risk profile and valuation method differ to some extent between project and logistics properties, the Group has made the assessment that disclosures should be provided for these two classes of properties.

Fair value is established based on an internal valuation model that is updated every quarter. The calculation of fair value for each individual property is performed using a six-year cash flow model.

The most significant variables, which are vital to the estimated fair value, in the model are the yield requirement and the estimated real growth, i.e. the inflation assumption. Other key variables are net operating surplus

and the long-term vacancy rate.

Among other items, the applicable market risk-related interest rate for property investments is used to establish the yield requirement. This is based on a number of factors including market interest rates, debt/equity ratio, inflation forecasts and the required return on paid-in capital. However, property-specific conditions also impact the yield requirement. The yield requirement is the property's

net operating surplus in relation to its fair value.

The level of annual future inflation is assessed as being 2%. The approved yield is used as the discount rate with a supplement for annual inflation.

Net operating surplus is the difference between income from property and operating and maintenance costs (property expenses before property administration costs).

The starting point is the current forecast for net operating surplus based on the last year's outcome. However, income and operating and maintenance costs for an individual year can be impacted by factors that are not regularly recurring under the long life of the property. If this should prove to be the case for the actual forecast values, the amounts for the individual year are normalised.

Income can be normalised if the estimated rent trend over the six-year period is assessed as deviating from the initial forecast. In which case, this is performed based on expected changes in property income based on the individual contract's current rent versus the assessed market rent at the contract maturity date and changes in long-term vacancy rates.

In addition, operation and maintenance costs can be the

subject of normalisation, based on an analysis of historical as well as current costs with respect to the tenant's and the landlord's obligations under the lease.

When all variables have been established based on the above description, a calculation of the present value is carried out for the next five years' net operating surplus in the cash-flow model. In addition, the present value of the residual value is based on the net operating surplus from year six in this model. Thereafter, any adjustment for the value of ongoing projects and land with unutilised development rights is carried out.

The total of these values comprises the estimated fair value. Nevertheless, a degree of deviation is permitted between the estimated value and the carrying amount before adjustment of the carrying amount is performed. The deviation should be in an interval controlled by a permitted deviation from the established yield requirement of +/- 0.25%. The carrying amount is only adjusted when the deviation exceeds the boundaries of this interval. This deviation is accepted since there is always an element of uncertainty in the estimated value.

1) ) Based on the property portfolio at year end. The normalised surplus ratio is based on the contractual annual rent.

The substantial variance between outcomes for net operating surplus before property administration costs and the normalised amounts is largely attributable to a large number of projects in 2013 that only generated costs but which, in the normalised amounts, were calculated on the net operating surplus generated when the projects are completed.

The fair market value can first be established when it is sold. The fair value calculations under the above model include various assessment factors that contain an element of uncertainty.

External valuations are carried out for a selection of the property portfolio to secure the quality of the internal valuations. Such valuations were carried out as of 30 September 2013 for all properties included in the Catena Logistik Group in conjunction with its acquisition by Catena AB and these valuations were performed by Newsec Advise AB.

In addition to the above, the valuation of Projekt Solna is based on the valuation of development rights under the detailed development plan, which is largely based on local price surveys. The valuation also takes into consideration the fact that the detailed development plan is an ongoing process and the time risks in conjunction with the development of the project. In addition to the internal valuation, an external valuation of Projekt Solna was carried out in conjunction with the reverse acquisition of Catena Logistik and this valuation was performed by Forum and CBRE.

Since all property valuations contain assessment factors with varying degrees of uncertainty, normally, a specific uncertainty interval is stated for the estimated values. Accordingly, on comparison of the internally calculated

values and the external valuations, a deviation interval of +/-10% between these values is accepted before the internal values are subjected to any retesting. Comparison is made at the total level for the externally valued portfolio.

Sensitivity analysis

The parameters that significantly impact the value of a property are the discount rate and the rental value. Assumptions including interest rates, debt/equity ratio, inflation assumptions, the required return on paid-in capital, property location, tenant structure, etc. are included in the discount rate. Rental value reflects the market's view of what tenants are willing to pay for real estate space.

To illustrate how a change of +/-1% in these parameters impacts the estimated fair value, the following sensitivity analysis can be carried out:

Catena has prepared a financial policy that regulates which financial instruments that may be used, which investments that may be made, how lending is to be carried out as well as the management of interest rate exposure on borrowings.

The main external capital requirements that Catena is subject to as regards property loans are an interestcoverage ratio of 1.5, a loan-to-value ratio of less than

70-80% and an equity ratio in excess of 25%. With the exception of one subsidiary, which did not meet the interest-coverage ratio requirement, the Group's companies have met all external covenants. The Parent Company has pledged additional guarantees for this company. In addition, for the company that did not meet the requirement, a higher interest rate was applied for the period the requirement was not met.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

Financial policy

The Group's assumption of financial risk is governed by the risk mandate set by Catena's Board. The Group's treasury management is carried out by Catena AB, which is tasked with ensuring that funding and liquidity is secured, that financial risk exposure is kept within the mandate decided by the Board and that payment systems are appropriate.

Catena's policy is that net debt (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents) will be mainly covered by borrowing with a loan term between nought and ten years. All borrowing is in SEK. Catena's aim is, where possible, that loan terms should be adapted to the duration of leases signed. The loan portfolio has been adapted to the risk strategy through the use of fixed-rate loans, interestrate swaps and interest-rate cap agreements to adjust fixed-interest terms.

Financing and financing risks

Interest-bearing liabilities at Catena comprise mainly liabilities to credit institutions and liabilities to joint ventures. At 31 December 2013, liabilities to credit institutions were SEK 2,963.0 M (2,058.9).

Financing comprises property loans against mortgage deeds as collateral, in some cases, the shares of subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral. Property loans are subject to the following covenants: the interest-coverage ratio must exceed 1.5, the loan-to-value ratio may not exceed 70-80% of market value and the equity ratio must exceed 25%. See Note 17 for more information about target fulfilment.

The aim of Catena's liquidity planning is to ensure that liquidity is always available to meet payment obligations at a given time. Catena makes overall liquidity forecasts each quarter, which then form the basis for ongoing work. To minimize the cost of Catena's borrowing and to ensure that financing can be obtained, the company has committed credit facilities in place that cover the need for operating loans. Furthermore, Catena endeavours to distribute loan maturities evenly over time and to diversify sources of capital. At 31 December 2013, lines of credit totalling SEK 3,270.0 M were available, of which SEK 307.0 M was unutilised.

The table below shows when the financial assets and liabilities fall due for renegotiation or amortisation.

The properties owned by Catena are financed by a combination of loans and equity. The majority of financing comprises loans from banks and other credit institutions. Financing risk is the risk that future financing in the form of new loans has a negative impact on Catena's earnings due to increased borrowing costs. Catena manages this risk by allocating borrowing to various maturity dates.

The average interest rate takes in to consideration interestrate swap contracts and interest-rate caps.

The total volume outstanding was SEK 1,087.6 M (159.6) for interest-rate swap agreements and SEK 28.0 M (28.0) for interest-rate caps.

Interest-rate risk

The interest-rate risk is the risk of changes in market interest rates negatively impacting cash flow or the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. Catena's financial policy stipulates a framework for how work with managing interest-rate risk should be carried out. One overriding goal is that the maturity structure of leases should be taken into consideration when determining the fixed-interest term. This is performed mainly through adapting the loan portfolio to the risk strategy through the use of interest-rate swaps and interest-rate cap agreements.

The following table shows the fair values and carrying amounts of all of the Group's derivatives and financial assets and liabilities where carrying amounts and fair values differ. For other contracted financial assets and liabilities of the Group and the Parent Company, fair values correspond with carrying amounts as of 31 December 2013.

At 31 December 2013, total interest-bearing liabilities were SEK 2,963.0 M (2,058.9), of which SEK 8.5 M (10.8) will be amortised in 2014. At the same time, the average effective interest rate was 3.1% (3.4) and the average fixed-interest term was about 0.3 years (0.2), without taking into consideration the interest-rate caps. The Group's earnings can be impacted by the continuous changes to these factors. All of the Group's interest-bearing liabilities have a fixed-interest term of less than one year with a floating interest rate. Interest rates on variable loans are based on the 3-month STIBOR with the addition of a margin. To limit the interestrate risk of floating-rate loans, interest-rate swaps are held in an amount of SEK 1,087.6 M (159.6) and interest-rate cap agreements are held in an amount of SEK 28.0 M (2,528.0). The average protection after taking into account the interest-rate swap and interest-rate cap agreements limits the interest rate to 4.03%.

Credit risk is defined as the risk of making a loss as a result of the failure of a counterparty to discharge its obligations. Credit risk can primarily be attributed to accounts receivable outstanding. Losses on accounts receivable arise when customers are put in receivership or for other reasons are unable to meet their payment obligations. Credit risk from financial activities is minimal since Catena's customers have high credit ratings. A credit check is made in respect of the customers' creditworthiness and, where any uncertainty exists, Catena requires bank guarantees or guarantee commitments. All rents are invoiced in advance. In 2013, Catena was not impacted by any financial loan losses nor were there any significant loan losses in operations.

For a time analysis of overdue accounts receivable, and information on bad debt losses, refer to Note 14.

Notes – Parent Company

NOTE 1

Accounting policies

Amounts in SEK M unless otherwise specified.

Catena AB (publ), 556294-1715, is the Parent Company of a Group comprising companies that own and operate properties or run property-related projects. All inter-Group functions are centralised to the Parent Company.

The Parent Company has prepared its Annual Report in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation no. RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities, which entails that the Parent Company in its annual report for the legal entity applies all of the EU-approved IFRS and statements, to the fullest extent possible, within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, and taking into consideration the connection between accounting and taxation. Recommendations indicate the exceptions and the supplements to be made to the IFRS.

The Parent Company applies the same accounting policies as the Group, detailed in Note 2 for the Group, except in the cases stated below.

Differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting policies

The following accounting policies for the Parent Company have been applied consistently for all periods presented in the Parent Company's financial reports, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures Participations in subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures are recognised in the Parent Company under the cost method.

Shareholder contributions and Group contributions Shareholder contributions are recognised directly in equity

NOTE 2 NOTE 3

Turnover primarily comprises intra-Group administration fees.

NOTE 4

Employee and personnel expenses

by the recipient and capitalised in shares and participations by the payer. Group contributions paid to subsidiaries are recognised as an increase in the shares in the subsidiary and, thereafter, tested to identify whether any impairment need exists. The tax effect is recognised in profit or loss. Group contributions received from subsidiaries are treated as dividends and are recognised as financial income in profit or loss. The tax effect is recognised in profit or loss.

Presentation of income statement and balance sheet The Parent Company follows the presentation format in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the income statement and balance sheet, which means that a different presentation format for equity and that other provisions are reported as a separate item in the balance sheet.

Financial guarantees

Last year, the Parent Company's financial guarantee agreements comprised contingent liabilities in the company's capacity of part-owner of the mutual insurance company PRI Pensionsgaranti. This financial guarantee entails a commitment to contribute funds to PRI in the event that its assets are insufficient to meet its commitments, but limited to the maximum amount of the assumed contingent liability. For reporting financial guarantee agreements, the Parent Company applies a rule under RFR, which entails a relaxation compared with the rules in IAS 39, as regards financial guarantee agreements issued in favour of subsidiaries. The Parent Company reports financial guarantee agreements as a provision in the balance sheet when the company has an undertaking for which payment will probably be required to settle the undertaking.

The dividends adopted by the Annual General Meeting and paid in 2013 were SEK 1.00 per share or a total of SEK 11.6 M. For 2013, the Board proposes an ordinary dividend of SEK 2.00 per share. Based on the number of shares outstanding entitled to receive a dividend for the 2013 financial year, the proposed dividend means a total dividend amount of SEK 51.3 M. The dividend amount corresponds to 90% of the dividend target in Catena's financial targets, SEK 57.3 M. The Parent Company's target for asset management and the financial targets correspond with the Group's and are detailed in Note 18 for the Group.

On 7 March 2014, Catena decided to make a non-cash issue comprising 446,469 shares to a total value of SEK 50 M, to Logistikkbygg 1 AS. The underlying reason for this was Catena's acquisition of two properties in company form from Logistikkbygg 1 AS. The share issue was registered at the Swedish Companies Registration Office on 10 March 2014 and, accordingly, the proposed dividend is based on a total of 25,641,921 shares.

In 2013, the company purchased commitments under the ITP plan that are secured through an insurance in Alecta. The company has not been provided with information that would allow the reporting of its commitments under the ITP plan as a defined-benefit plan and, accordingly, these are reported as a defined-contribution plan.

The year's fees for pension insurance contracted with Alecta amounted to SEK 12.1 M (0.0). Alecta's surplus can be distributed to the policy owners and/or insured parties. At the end of 2013, Alecta's surplus in the form of the collective consolidation level was 148% (129). The collective consolidation level comprises the market value of Alecta's assets as a percentage of the insurance obligation calculated in line with Alecta's actuarial assumptions, which do not comply with IAS 19.

Authorised Public Accountant

Auditors' report

To the Annual General Meeting of Catena AB Corporate Registration Number: 556294-1715

Report on the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements I have audited the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements for Catena AB for the 2013 financial year. The annual accounts and consolidated financial statements of the company are included in the printed version of this document on pages 10–88.

Responsibility of the Board and the CEO for the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation of annual accounts that provide a true and fair representation, pursuant to the Annual Accounts Act, and consolidated financial statements that provide a true and fair representation pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act and for the internal control that the Board and CEO assess as necessary for preparing annual accounts and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' responsibility

My responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts and consolidated financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. These standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements. The auditor selects the procedures to be conducted based on such assessments as the risk of material misstatement in the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements, and whether such misstatement is due to fraud or error. In this risk assessment, the auditor considers internal control measures relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate taking the circumstances into account, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes an evaluation of the appropriateness of the accounting policies applied and of the reasonableness of the Board's and CEO's estimates in the accounts, as well as an evaluation of the overall presentation in the annual report and consolidated financial statements.

I believe that the auditing evidence that I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate as the basis for my audit opinion.

Opinion

In my opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act and provide, in all significant respects, a true and fair representation of the Parent Company's financial position at 31 December 2013 and of its financial results and cash flow for the year pursuant to the Annual Accounts Act, and that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and provide, in all significant respects, a true and fair representation of the Group's financial position at 31 December 2013 and of its earnings and cash flows for the year pursuant to International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. A corporate governance report has been prepared. The statutory administration report and corporate governance report are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements.

I, therefore, recommend that the Annual General Meeting approves the income statements and balance sheets for the Parent Company and the Group.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In addition to my audit of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements, I have also examined the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and the administration of the Board and CEO of Catena AB for 2013.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the CEO

The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal concerning the appropriation of the company's profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for administration under the Companies Act.

Auditors' responsibility

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

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

As the basis for my opinion concerning discharge from liability, in addition to my audit of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements, I have examined significant decisions, actions taken and the circumstances of the company in order to determine whether any Board member or the CEO is liable to the company. I have also examined whether any Board member or the CEO has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Swedish Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.

I believe that the audit evidence that I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate as the basis for my audit opinion.

Opinion

I recommend to the Annual General Meeting that the profit be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO be discharged from liability for the financial year.
