President and Chief Executive Officer Andreas Philipson comments:

"Catena sold its entire property portfolio on 15th February 2011, with the exception of its properties in Stora Frösunda. The sale generated a substantial liquidity surplus which led the AGM held on the 14th April 2011 to decide not only to pay ordinary dividend of SEK 6 per share, but also extra dividend of SEK 53 per share. All in all SEK 59 per share was paid in dividends, equalling a total of SEK 682,305,500.

"Catena is now focussing on developing the properties in Stora Frösunda by Haga Norra. Market conditions are attractive and development is favourable in terms of demographics, economic growth, construction, residential property prices and rent development. As a result of the expansion of the Stockholm region, Solna is becoming a more integrated part of Stockholm. The borough's demographic makeup and pattern of movement are no longer determined by a suburban structure but rather by growth and expansion.

"Catena plans to establish a new town district with its own clear identity in Haga Norra. It will be characterised by attractive surroundings with parks and pleasant residential environments, good transport links and a comprehensive service structure. Planning work is ongoing and Catena expects that a detailed plan will be on display during the 3rd quarter of 2011. After consideration by Solna council we expect to start the building phase during the second half of 2012. The project is comprised of approximately 1,000 flats and 2,500 – 3,000 places of work which all will be of a high standard. Construction will be carried out in phases over 3 – 4 years. The preliminary total cost is expected to reach approximately SEK 4 billion and will lead to a significant increase of Catena's own capital.

"Catena's new organisation is optimized to run the project in its present phase. The company intends to carry out the entire project under its own management as the required resources and competency will be in place."

Catena shall own, effectively manage and actively develop real estate that offers 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 favourable, long term total return

SUMMARY OF STRATEGY AND DI-RECTION

Catena shall:

  • Actively manage the real estate portfolio, focusing on stimulating long-term customer relationships by offering attractive premises in close cooperation with its 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 exceeding the risk-free interest rate by at least 5 percentage points1 .
  • Interest-coverage ratio of not less than 1.75.
  • Equity/assets ratio of not lower than 25% and not higher than 35%.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Long-term, Catena's dividend shall amount to 75% of pretax profit2 , excluding realized and unrealized changes in the value of properties and excluding unrealized changes in the value of derivative instruments.

REVENUES, EXPENSES AND EARNINGS

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

GROUP

Continuing operations

Apart from the Parent Company, the data below pertains only to the properties Stora Frösunda 2/Hagalund 2:2 in Solna and the operations conducted in Catena Byggnads AB.

Rental revenue

Rental revenue amounted to SEK 13.8 M (13.7).

Property expenses totalled SEK 3.3 M (3.5).

Operating surplus

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses of SEK 0.0 M (0.3).

Central administration

Costs for central administration amounted to SEK 9.3 M (6.5). The item comprises expenses for Group Management and other central functions. The increase is primarily due to nonrecurring items in connection with the retirement of some of its staff

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

2 Pretax profit charged with 26.3% standard tax.

Value change

Properties

Valuation method applied

A combination of the location price method and the yield based method. When assessing value, a calculation technique has been used to assess the future cash flows of the property valued. These cash flows have been discounted to present value. The location price method has been applied to assess the size of the risk premium in the yield requirement used for assessment of residual value in the cash flow computations and when assessing the size of the discount rate used for present day computation of assessed future cash flows in the cash flow computation. The assessment of value has been made in cooperation with authorized property valuer at an external valuation company, Forum Fastighetsekonomi.

The assessment of value has been made by assessing the fair value of the property valued on the basis of a conceivable situation where the current use provides the greatest and best benefit for the owner. An additional value has then been assessed for the properties based on the potential building rights that may be possible through zoning plan work in process for the properties. The value of the building rights has been assessed by comparisons with land allocation contracts and contracts on transfer of building rights in Stockholm's suburbs. A deduction has then been made taking into consideration costs, waiting periods, uncertainties etc. associated with construction.

The total fair value for the property including the assessed increase in value for the building rights amounts to SEK 552 million. The increase in value associated with the building rights has been assessed at SEK 172 million. Among other things, in the light of work with the zoning plan not yet being completed, great caution is attached to the quantification of these assessments. When zoning is established, there is a significant potential in the value of building rights.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

General

Catena is exposed to a number of risks that could affect the company's business and earnings, and the value of property. Notable risks include the risks associated with leases, changes in operation and maintenance expenses, interest and financing risks and taxes. The properties are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value and changes in value of these properties are recognized in profit or loss. This means that the effects on Catena's income statements and balance sheets become more volatile, affecting in particular the Group's earnings, equity/assets ratio and loan-to-value ratio.

Value changes

In this interim report, the valuation of the Group's management properties an independent property valuation was commissioned. The valuation of properties is associated with forward-looking assumptions, entailing a margin of error of +/- 5-10% at the property level.

The value of the Group's interest swaps is sourced externally. The value of these instruments varies in line with contractual interest rates and market interest rates.

Apart from what is stated in this interim report, no significant changes have occurred compared with the account made in the Annual Report.
