INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – JUNE, 2010

HTH-kök – new tenant in Svågertorp, Malmö

.

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, 2010

  • Rental revenue during the period totaled SEK 90.7m (99.8).
  • Income from property management amounted to SEK 57.5m (53.9), or SEK 4.97 per share (4.66).
  • Profit before tax for the period was SEK 186.2m (49.8).
  • Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 195.1m (38.0), or SEK 16.87 per share (3.29).
  • Realized change in value included in profit before tax amounted to SEK 57.2m (3.2)
  • Unrealized change in value amounted to a profit of SEK 71.5m (loss: 7.3), for which property accounts for a profit of SEK 68.0m (loss: 1.9) and derivatives for a profit of SEK 3.5m (loss: 5.4).
  • Investments in existing portfolio amounted to SEK 9m (32) during the period.

Peter Hallgren, President and CEO:

  • Catena reports its best income from property management and after-tax profit since the company's listing in 2006.
  • On final settlement, the sale of the Norwegian properties and one property in Denmark generated a capital gain of SEK 57.2m. At the same time, the sales resulted in a reduction of approximately SEK 11m in rental revenue during the first six months of the year. For remaining properties, rental revenue increased by about SEK 2m.
  • The unrealized change in value of SEK 68m was largely attributable to the property in Haga Norra, Solna, where Catena and the City of Solna are jointly implementing a new detailed development plan. Approval of the new detailed development plan is expected to occur during 2011.
  • Catena's future focus, following the divestments in Denmark and Norway, will be on metropolitan regions in the Swedish market and on continuing to add value to the existing portfolio.

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.
  • Acquire commercial properties with good potential to achieve long-term growth and stable revenue.
  • 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%.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Long-term, Catena's dividend shall amount to 75% of the income from property management2 after tax3 .

REVENUES, EXPENSES AND EARNINGS

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

GROUP

Rental revenue

Rental revenue amounted to SEK 90.7m (99.8). The decrease from the preceding year is due to the sale of the Norwegian properties. Some 83.6 percent (87.2) of rental revenue derives from the Bilia Group.

The revenue-based occupancy rate totaled 96.3 percent (96.9) on July 1, 2010. The total rental value of vacant premises was estimated to amount to an annual SEK 5.9m (6.5). The average lease term was 8.1 years (8.8).

Property expenses

Property expenses totaled SEK 13.4m (13.4). Of total property expenses, operating expenses increased by SEK 0.9m compared to year 2009, mainly due to increased expenses for snow clearing. Repair and maintenance expenses decreased by SEK 0.4m compared with the preceding year. Property tax and leasehold fees remained unchanged. Property administration decreased SEK 0.5m compared to year 2009.

Operating surplus

The operating surplus for the year was SEK 77.3m (86.4).

Other operating revenues

Other operating revenues of SEK 0.3m (0.8) consist of consulting fees of SEK 0.0m (0.1), and invoicing forwarded to tenants in respect of work completed, in the amount of SEK 0.3m (0.4). Preceding year also included sales of company cars SEK 0.3m .

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses comprise SEK 0.3m (0.4) 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 0.3m .

Central administration

Expenses relating to central administration totaled SEK 6.8m (9.0). This item includes costs for Group Management and other central functions. The change is primarily due to the sale of

1 Risk-free interest is defined as interest on a five-year Swedish Government bond.

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

3 Profit after financial items charged with 26,3% standard tax.

the Norwegian subsidiary and to the effects of a saving program.

Net financial items

Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 12.0m (23.6). The annual average interest rate, including derivative instruments, was 2.15 percent (2.80) 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 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 57.5m (53.9).

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. 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 6.50 to 8.60 percent. Refer to Catena's Annual Report for 2009 for more detailed information on the valuation methods.

Divested properties

During the period, Catena divested all of its properties in Norway. The properties were transferred to the buyer on March 31, 2010. Final settlement was received on July 12 and is included in profit as of June 30. On June 1, a property at Jagtvej in Copenhagen was divested.

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 8.5m (loss: 24.5) on the closing date, of which, the change in value for the period resulted in an increase of SEK 3.5m (increase: 0.8). 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 -29.4m (-9.8) and deferred tax to a profit of SEK 38.3m (loss: 11.4). The positive change in deferred tax is largely attributable to the sale of properties in Norway and Denmark.

Profit after tax for the period

The profit after tax for the period totaled SEK 195.1m (38.0).

Other comprehensive income for the period

Other comprehensive loss for the period amounted to a loss of SEK 10.3m (income: 13.5) and comprised of revaluations of internal balances of SEK 9.9m (loss: 5.5), of the translation reserve in a negative amount of SEK 15.3m (pos: 19.0) and of the translation reserve transferred to net profit in a negative amount of SEK 4.9m (0.0).

Total comprehensive income for the period

The comprehensive income of the period amounted to SEK 184.8m (51.5).

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

  • Rental revenue is contractual rental revenue as of July 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 June 30, 2010.
  • Other operating revenues/expenses have not been taken into account.
