INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – SEPTEMBER, 2010

Stora Frösunda (Haga Norra), Solna – Illustration from program to the local plan

.

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 – SEPTEMBER, 2010

  • Rental revenue during the period totaled SEK 117.7m (118.5).
  • Income from property management amounted to SEK 73.2m (62.9), or SEK 6.33 per share (5.44).
  • Profit before tax for the period was SEK 219.3m (12.7).
  • Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 150.0m (10.5), or SEK 12.97 per share (0.91).
  • Realized change in value included in profit before tax amounted to SEK 17.2m (0.0)
  • Unrealized change in value amounted to a profit of SEK 128.9m (loss: 50.2), for which property accounts for a profit of SEK 121.7m (loss: 47.0) and derivatives for a profit of SEK 7.2m (loss: 3.2).
  • Investments in existing portfolio amounted to SEK 12m (30) during the period.

The above information pertains to continuing operations, meaning following divestment of the Norwegian property portfolio.

Profit before tax for the period including the divestment of the Norwegian property portfolio amounted to SEK 253.5m (64.7).

Peter Hallgren, President and CEO:

  • The unrealized change in value of SEK 122m is largely attributable to Haga Norra, where work on a new local plan is progressing according to plan.
  • The change in the focus of Catena's operations that was announced signifies that there will be no new property acquisitions in the immediate future. However, efforts to improve the current portfolio will continue in cooperation with old and new tenants.
  • Work to examine the prerequisites for the possible divestment of parts of Catena's property portfolio has commenced.

FOCUS ON COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Catena is a real estate company that focuses on properties in external retailing locations. The real estate portfolio is located in three growth regions: Stockholm, Göteborg and Öresund.

SUMMARY OF STRATEGY AND DIRECTION

Catena shall:

  • Actively manage the real estate portfolio, focusing on stimulating long-term customer relationships by offering attractive premises in close cooperation with our tenants.
  • Actively improve and develop the real estate portfolio by identifying and implementing value-adding measures that increase the properties' attractiveness and yield, with due consideration of risk.
  • Divest properties for which the potential to create additional value growth is deemed limited.

FINANCIAL TARGETS

Over a business cycle, Catena aims to achieve the following targets:

  • Return on shareholders' equity that exceeds the risk-free interest by not less than 5 percentage points1 .
  • Interest coverage ratio not less than 1.75.
  • Equity/assets ratio not lower than 25% and not higher than 35%.

GROUP

Rental revenue

Rental revenue amounted to SEK 117.7m (118.5). The decrease compared with the yearearlier period is primarily due to a weaker DKK in 2010, compared with 2009. Some 82.3 percent (86.9) of rental revenue derives from the Bilia Group.

The revenue-based occupancy rate totaled 97.4 percent (97.2) on October 1, 2010. The total rental value of vacant premises was estimated to amount to an annual SEK 4.1m (5.9). The average lease term was 7.8 years (8.7).

Property expenses

Property expenses totaled SEK 18.4m (18.4). Of total property expenses, operating expenses increased by SEK 1.0m compared to year 2009, mainly due to increased expenses for snow clearing. Repair and maintenance expenses decreased by SEK 0.1m compared with the preceding year. Property tax and leasehold fees remained unchanged. Property administration decreased SEK 0.8m compared to year 2009.

Operating surplus

The operating surplus for the year was SEK 99.3m (100.1).

Other operating revenues

Other operating revenues of SEK 0.4m (0.2) consist of consulting fees of SEK 0.1m (0.1), and invoicing forwarded to tenants in respect of work completed, in the amount of SEK 0.3m (0.1).

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses comprise SEK 0.3m (0.2) for work-related costs that were passed on to tenants and SEK 1.0m (0.0) in compensation paid for interruptions experienced by tenants. Preceding year also included consulting fees of SEK 0.2m .

Central administration

Expenses relating to central administration totaled SEK 8.7m (8.3). This item includes costs for Group Management and other central functions.

Net financial items

Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 16.5m (28.7). The annual average interest rate, including derivative instruments, was 2.46 percent (2.61) on the closing date. Financial instruments limit the impact of interest-rate movements on the Group's borrowing costs. During the period, interest paid was capitalized

2 Profit after financial items excluding realized and unrealized changes in value.

in the amount of SEK 0.0m (0.4) for current construction projects. During the second quarter all loans regarding the Danish properties have been solved.

Income from property management

Income from property management totaled SEK 73.2m (62.9).

Changes in value

Properties

The Group's Swedish and Danish properties were internally valued at closing date using externally obtained information on the Swedish and Danish property markets. However, Stora Frösunda 2 (Haga Norra) has been valued externally. The recognized change in value pertains largely to the potential building rights that may be facilitated through the local plan work in progress at Haga Norra.

The internal rate of return on net operating income and the yield applied in the calculation of residual value (residual value yield) were mostly unchanged in Sweden and Denmark. The internal rate of return on net operating income varies from 6.6 to 10.2 percent and for the residual value yield from 6.25 to 8.50 percent. Refer to Catena's Annual Report for 2009 for more detailed information on the valuation methods.

Property divestments

In addition to the recognized divestment of the Norwegian property portfolio below, Catena divested a property in Denmark during the period. The buyer took possession of this property on June 1, 2010. The realized profit totaled SEK 17.2m (0.0).

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 6.2m (loss: 22.7) on the closing date, of which, the change in value for the period resulted in an increase of SEK 7.2m (decrease: 3.2). Hedge accounting is not applied. The unrealized changes of value have no impact on the cash flow statement.

Value change

As a result of its property holdings in Denmark, the Group is exposed to the currency of this country.

Taxes

Current tax paid for the period amounted to SEK -33.2m (-0.5) and deferred tax amounted to SEK -36.1m (-1.7).

Profit after tax for the period from continuing operations

Profit after tax from continuing operations amounted to SEK 150.0m (10.5) for the period.

Divested operations

Total profit from divested operations (the Osloregion) after tax totaled SEK 103.5m (54.2), of which capital gain from divestment was SEK 39.0m (0.0) and dissolution of deferred tax amounted to SEK 58.5m (0.0)

The translation reserve that was transferred to this year's earnings due to the divestment of the Norwegian subsidiary represented an expense of SEK 4.9m (0.0).

Comprehensive income for the period

Comprehensive income for the period amounted to SEK 241.5m (76.8).

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 holding of properties in Denmark, the income statement and balance sheet can also be affected by fluctuations in the currency of this country against the Swedish krona. Included among other risks are risks in leases, changes in operation and maintenance expenses and interest and financing risks, valuation of properties and taxes. Investment properties are reported on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in value of these properties are reported in the income statement. This means that the effects of Catena's income- and balance statements become more volatile, affecting in particular the Group's earnings, equity/assets ratio and loan-to-value ratio.

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 quarterly report as for year-end 2009. 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.

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 2009 Annual Report, pages 18-19 and page 54.

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 September 30, 2010 has been determined in accordance with the following:

  • Rental revenue is contractual rental revenue as of October 1, 2010 on an annual basis with the addition for estimated market rent for vacant premises. Given rent reduction have not been divided into periods.
  • 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 September 30, 2010.
  • Other operating revenues/expenses have not been taken into account.

AUDITOR´S REPORT ON INTERIM REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Catena AB (publ)

Reg no 556294-1715

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report of Catena AB (publ) as at September 30, 2010 and the nine-month period ending on that date. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing in Sweden RS and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

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