INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – MARCH, 2010

Solna Stora Frösunda 2

.

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 – MARCH, 2010

  • Rental revenue during the period totaled SEK 51.7m (49.6).
  • Income from property management amounted to SEK 33.9m (25.2), or SEK 2.93 per share (2.18).
  • Profit before tax for the period was SEK 78.9m (29.9).
  • Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 124.8m (24.2), or SEK 10.79 per share (2.09).
  • Realized change in value included in profit before tax amounted to SEK 39.6m (2.6)
  • Unrealized change in value amounted to a profit of SEK 5.4m (profit: 2.1), for which property accounts for a profit of SEK 4.6m (profit: 11.4) and derivatives for a profit of SEK 0.8m (loss: 9.3).
  • Investments in existing portfolio amounted to SEK 1m (23) during the period.

Peter Hallgren, President and CEO:

  • The successful leasing and low financial expenses are now yielding results in the form of a significant improvement in income from property management. The improvement is up 34.5 percent compared with the year-earlier period. This result was achieved despite approximately SEK 2.4m being charged against profit due to the extreme winter weather.
  • The realized change in value resulting from the sale of the properties in Norway was about SEK 39.6m. Final settlement will take place in May/June 2010. The transaction strengthened Catena with the equity/assets ratio rising to 42.7 percent.
  • With its strengthened financial position, Catena will continue to develop and improve its existing portfolio at the same time as acquisitions will be continuously evaluated.
  • The sale of the property on Jagtvej in Copenhagen will be reported in the second quarter of 2010.

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 in the Nordic countries: Stockholm, Göteborg and Öresund. The Norwegian properties were sold at March 31, 2010.

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%.

REVENUES, EXPENSES AND EARNINGS

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

GROUP

Rental revenue

Rental revenue amounted to SEK 51.7m (49.6). The increase from the preceding year is due primarily to new rental leases and higher rental revenue from remodeling for tenants. Some 84.0 percent (86.6) of rental revenue derives from the Bilia Group.

The revenue-based occupancy rate totaled 96.1 percent (95.1) on April 1, 2010. The total rental value of vacant premises was estimated to amount to an annual SEK 6.3m (10.4). The average lease term was 8.2 years (9.2).

Property expenses

Property expenses totaled SEK 7.5m (6.7). Of total property expenses, operating expenses increased by SEK 1.4m, due to snow clearing, compared to year 2009. Repair and maintenance expenses decreased by SEK 0.2m compared with the preceding year. Property tax and leasehold fees remained unchanged. Property administration decreased SEK 0.4m compared to year 2009.

Operating surplus

The operating surplus for the year was SEK 44.2m (42.9).

Other operating revenues

Other operating revenues of SEK 0.2m (0.3) 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 0.2m (0.2).

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses comprise SEK 0.2m (0.3) for work-related costs that were passed on to tenants and SEK 0.9m (0.0) in compensation paid for interruptions experienced by tenants.

Central administration

Expenses relating to central administration totaled SEK 3.4m (4.4). This item includes costs for Group Management and other central functions. The change is primarily due to a savings program.

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.

Net financial items

Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 6.0m (13.3). The annual average interest rate, including derivative instruments, was 2.19 percent (3.24) 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.

Income from property management

Income from property management totaled SEK 33.9m (25.2).

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. The Norwegian properties have been sold at the 31st of March 2010.

Divested properties

During the period, Catena divested all of its properties in Norway effective March 31, 2010. The proceeds are expected to be received on April 22, with final settlement of the transaction occurring in late May/early June 2010.

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 11.2m (loss: 29.5) on the closing date, of which, the change in value for the period resulted in an increase of SEK 0.8m (decrease: 9.3). 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. In an effort to reduce this exposure, the Group raise loan denominated in the currency of this country.

Taxes

Current tax paid for the period amounted to SEK -9.8m (-0.1) and deferred tax to a profit of SEK 55.7m (loss: 5.6). The positive change in deferred tax is largely attributable to the sale of subsidiary in Norway.

Profit after tax for the period

The profit after tax for the period totaled SEK 124.8m (24.2).

Other comprehensive income for the period

Other comprehensive loss for the period amounted to SEK 8.5m (income: 16.4) and comprised revaluations of internal balances of SEK 9.3m (loss: 9.1), of the translation reserve in a negative amount of SEK 12.9m (pos: 25.5) 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 116.3m (40.6).

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 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 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. The current earnings capacity concerns the Catena Group excluding Norway.

Earnings capacity on a 12-month basis at March 31, 2010 has been determined in accordance with the following:

  • Rental revenue is contractual rental revenue as of April 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 March 31, 2010.
  • Other operating revenues/expenses have not been taken into account.
