Catena shall own, effectively manage and actively develop commercial real estate in prime locations that offer the potential to generate steadily growing cash flow and healthy value growth. Catena's overriding objective, based on its focused orientation, is to provide shareholders with a favorable, long-term total return by being one of the leading players focusing on commercial real estate in a number of strategic locations.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – JUNE, 2009

  • Investments in existing portfolio amounted to SEK 32 M (63) during the period.

  • Actively manage the real estate portfolio, focusing on stimulating long-term customer relationships by offering attractive premises in close cooperation with our tenants.
  • Acquire commercial properties with good potential to achieve long-term growth and stable revenue.

REVENUES, EXPENSES AND EARNINGS

The figures in parentheses show the corresponding period for the preceding year.

GROUP

Rental revenue

Rental revenue amounted to SEK 99.8 M (93.1). The increase from the preceding year is due primarily to upward indexation, new rental leases and higher rental revenue from remodeling for tenants. Some 87.2 percent (90.9) of rental revenue derives from the Bilia Group.

The revenue-based occupancy rate totaled 96.9 percent (98.6) on July 1, 2009. The total rental value of vacant premises was estimated to amount to an annual SEK 6.5 M (2.7). The average lease term was 8.8 years (9.7).

Repair and maintenance expenses decreased by SEK 0.2 M compared to the preceding year. Property tax and leasehold fees rose SEK 0.3 M and SEK 0.1 M respectively. Property administration increased SEK 0.1 M compared with the preceding year.

Operating surplus

The operating surplus for the period was SEK 86.4 M (80.5).

Income from property management

Income from property management totaled SEK 53.9 M (43.0).

Changes in value

Properties

The Group's Swedish, Danish and Norwegian properties were internally valued at closing date using externally obtained information on the Swedish, Danish and the Norwegian property markets. The internal rate of return on net operating income and the yield applied in the calculation of residual value (residual value yield) were nearly unchanged in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The internal rate of return on net operating income varies from 7.5 to 10.2 percent and for the residual value yield from 6.50 to 9.75 percent. Refer to Catena's Annual Report for 2008 for more detailed information on the valuation methods.

Financial derivatives

Catena deploys interest swaps to achieve the interest rate structure stipulated in the Group's finance policy. The value of interest-rate swaps increases or decreases in line with the divergence in the interest rate from the corresponding market interest rate and with the remaining time to maturity. The unrealized value of the aforementioned interest-rate swaps resulted in a deficit of SEK 25.4 M (profit: 23.1) on the closing date, of which, the change in value for the period resulted in a decrease of SEK 5.4 M (profit: 9.4). The unrealized changes of value have no impact on the cash flow statement.

Value change

As a result of its property holdings in Norway and Denmark, the Group is exposed to the currencies of these countries. In an effort to reduce this exposure, the Group raises loans denominated in the currency of each country.

Taxes

Current tax paid for the period amounted to SEK -0.4 M (-7.8) and deferred tax to a loss of SEK 11.4 M (loss: 1.0). Catena will not be affected by the tax verdicts involving the property sector tax that were issued by the Supreme Administrative Court in June 2009, since Catena has not implemented any transactions of the type reviewed by the Supreme Administrative Court.

Profit after tax for the period

The profit after tax for the period totaled SEK 38.0 M (20.8).

Other comprehensive income for the period

Other comprehensive income for the period amounted to SEK 13.5 M (0.4) and comprised of revaluation of internal balance downward by SEK 5.5 M (gain: 1.5) and an increase of SEK 19.0 M in translation reserve (decline: 1.1).

Total comprehensive income for the period

The comprehensive income of the period amounted to SEK 51.5 M (21.2).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

General

Catena is exposed to a number of risks that may affect the company's business and earnings, as well as the value of property. Through its holdings of properties in Denmark and Norway, the income statement and balance sheet can also be affected by fluctuations in the currencies of these countries against the Swedish krona. Included among other risks are risks in leases, changes in operation and maintenance expenses, interest and financing risks, valuation of properties and taxes. Uncertainty in the financial sphere and the recession in the automotive industry have adversely impacted on Catena's operations mainly regarding changes of valuation of the properties of the group.

Value change

For quarterly financial reports, the Group's investment properties are generally valued internally, with externally obtained yield requirements. For annual reports, valuation is external. The same valuation principles were used for the half-year report as for year-end 2008. Property valuation is linked with assumptions about the future, meaning that the value interval can amount to +/- 5-10 percent at the property level.

The value of the Group's interest swaps is obtained externally. The value of these instruments varies with the agreed interest rate and market interest rate and with exchange rate fluctuations.

Beyond that stated in this interim report, no significant changes have occurred compared with that stated in the annual report.

For additional information about risks and uncertainty factors, refer to Catena's 2008 Annual Report, pages 20-21 and pages 66-67.

Parent Company

The Parent Company is exposed to the aforementioned risks through liabilities to foreign subsidiaries, loans and financial derivatives.

PARENT COMPANY

The operations of the Parent Company, Catena AB, primarily consist of Group-wide functions and management of the Group's subsidiaries.

The Parent Company's operating revenue is 100 percent (100) derived from billing for internally provided services.

Current earnings capacity

With the aim of providing a current view of the Catena Group's earnings capacity regarding income from property management on a 12-month basis, the income statement below was prepared. It is important to note that this income statement is not to be equated with a forecast. For example, the income statement does not contain any assessments regarding future occupancy rate, rent and interest-rate trends or changes in value.

Earnings capacity on a 12-month basis at June 30, 2009 has been determined in accordance with the following:

  • Rental revenue is rental revenue as of July 1, 2009 on an annual basis with the addition for estimated market rent for vacant premises.
  • Property expenses pertain to operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes and leasehold fees with the addition of property administration based on actual outcome in the past year adjusted for holding period.
  • Central administration has been based on actual outcome for the most recent 12 months.
  • Net financial items have been calculated based on interest-bearing liabilities and assets. Expenses for interest-bearing liabilities are based on the Group's average interest-rate level at June 30, 2009.
  • Other operating revenues/expenses have not been taken into account.
