REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Summary of the year 2011 compared with the year 2010

Citycon was able to reach the financial targets announced for 2011. In connection with its Q3/2011 interim report, the company revised its guidance announcing that it expects an increase of EUR 18– 23 million in turnover compared with 2010, an increase of EUR 10–15 million in direct operating profit (EPRA operating profit), and an increase of EUR 4–8 million in the direct result (EPRA Earnings). In 2011, turnover grew from 2010 by EUR 21.1 million, EPRA operating profit by EUR 12.4 million and EPRA Earnings by EUR 6.0 million.

Citycon changed its external provider of property appraisal services in 2011. For the first time, the value of Citycon's property portfolio at the year-end was assessed by Jones Lang LaSalle Finland Oy. Citycon has changed its independent external appraiser at regular intervals. For the first three quarters of 2011, property valuation was conducted by Realia Management Oy, which had served as Citycon's appraiser for over four years.

  • Turnover increased to EUR 217.1 million (2010: EUR 195.9 million).

  • Net rental income increased by EUR 17.1 million, or 13.4 per cent, to EUR 144.3 million (EUR 127.2 million). Based on comparable exchange rates, net rental income grew by EUR 15.5 million or 12.2 per cent. Completion of redevelopment projects such as Espoontori, Forum in Jyväskylä and Åkersberga Centrum increased net rental income by EUR 5.3 million. The acquisitions of the Kristiine and Högdalen Centrum shopping centres increased net rental income by EUR 7.0 million.

  • Net rental income from like-for-like properties increased by EUR 4.0 million, or 3.8 per cent, excluding the impact of the strengthened Swedish krona. Like-for-like net rental income from shopping centres increased by EUR 6.2 million, or 7.3 per cent while like-for-like net rental income from supermarket and shop properties decreased by EUR 2.2 million, or 10.7 per cent.
  • Earnings per share were EUR 0.05 (EUR 0.34). This decrease was mainly due to negative fair value changes on investment properties especially in the supermarket and shop properties. In addition, share issues taken place in July increased the number of shares.
  • EPRA EPS (basic) stayed at the same level and was EUR 0.21 (EUR 0.21).
  • Net cash from operating activities per share increased to EUR 0.25 (EUR 0.09), due to a higher EPRA operating profit, positive changes in working capital, received tax returns, extraordinary items and timing differences.
  • Citycon acquired the shopping centre Kristiine in Tallinn for EUR 105 million and the shopping centre Högdalen Centrum in Stockholm for SEK 207.5 million (approx. EUR 23.1 million).
  • Redevelopment project of Koskikeskus in Tampere began, with estimated project investment of EUR 37.9 million.
  • In May, Citycon signed a EUR 330 million long-term unsecured credit facility agreement with a Nordic bank group. The facility consists of a bullet term loan of EUR 220 million and a EUR 110 million revolving credit facility. The loan period is five years.
  • The company strengthened its balance sheet and improved liquidity by raising approximately EUR 99 million in new equity, through a directed share offering arranged in July, by issuing 33 million new shares. In August, the company signed a 7-year unsecured term loan facility for the amount of EUR 75 million.
  • Citycon Oyj's new CEO, Marcel Kokkeel, assumed his duties on 24 March 2011 and the company's new Executive Vice President, Finnish Operations, Michael Schönach, at the beginning of March. Johan Elfstadius began as Vice President, Swedish Operations on 21 November 2011.

CEO's comment

Comments from Citycon Oyj's Chief Executive Officer Marcel Kokkeel on the year 2011:

"The year 2011 was a period of solid performance: the company's net rental income grew by 13.4 per cent, like-for-like net rental income by 3.8 per cent, the occupancy rate remained high at 95.5 per cent, the shopping centre footfall in total grew by 3 per cent and sales by 7 per cent. In particular, the shopping centre Liljeholmstorget Galleria in Sweden improved during the year.

In 2011, a clear distinction was made between asset classes of different quality. This general trend reflects in Citycon's property performance and valuation. Overall, demand for the best properties is solid and their fair values remain stable, whereas non-prime properties show the opposite trend.

Management prioritises working on sustainable cash flows and therefore we need to improve the quality of the portfolio. We are engaged in high level of activities to accelerate property redevelopments, disposals and selective acquisitions. Also, we have been organising for example work shops to find new leasable space in shopping centres. We are also committed to use temporary and specialty leasing to generate additional income.

The year 2011 was a year of transition: we updated our strategy to focus on only quality shopping centres in the Nordic and Baltic countries and we concentrated on business improvements. During the year, we launched an internal project called "Project Now" to improve our operations and reduce costs. The aim is to become more efficient, be close to customers, tenants and market places and to become a more pro-active partner. There have also been changes in the management. These changes are a main cause of one-off administrative costs, for example in terms of severance pays. However, as of the start of 2012, most of these changes have been executed and the cost pressures will ease going forward.

During the year, the company strengthened its property portfolio through both acquisitions and redevelopment projects. In May, Citycon acquired two new shopping centres: Kristiine in Tallinn, and Högdalen Centrum in Stockholm. We are pleased with both acquisitions and especially Kristiine has outperformed our expectations. The most significant ongoing redevelopment projects are in Finland: Koskikeskus in Tampere and Myllypuro in Helsinki, additionally there is a minor extension project in Iso Omena, Espoo. Also, the shopping centre Magistral in Tallinn is currently being redeveloped and extended. In addition, some non-core properties have been sold and these disposals will be accelerated.

Citycon's financial position is good. The directed share issue arranged by the company in July was completed successfully. At the year-end, available liquidity totalled EUR 345.0 million and equity ratio was 36.0 per cent."

Business environment

On the whole, the first half of 2011 was positive in Citycon's operating countries, with strong consumer confidence and growing retail. After the summer, economic sentiment turned negative, particularly due to the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area. During 2011, changes in real economy trends impacted on retail trade. However, retail sales grew in both Finland and Sweden. Total retail sales growth rate in 2011 was 5.3 per cent in Finland, 1.2 per cent in Sweden, 4.0 per cent in Estonia and 8.8 per cent in Lithuania. (Sources: Statistics Finland, Statistiska Central Byrån, Statistics Estonia, Statistics Lithuania)

Household consumer confidence remained strong until last summer, but deteriorated sharply in the final months of the year in all operating countries. In Finland and Sweden, the household consumer confidence indicator was still positive, unlike in Estonia and Lithuania. (Eurostat)

Retail sales growth and the inflation rate are key drivers for Citycon's business and have an impact on the rents from retail premises. Consumer prices continued to rise during the year in all of Citycon's operating countries. In December, the annual inflation rate was 2.9 per cent in Finland, 2.3 per cent in Sweden, 5.0 per cent in Estonia and 3.4 per cent in Lithuania. (Statistics Finland, Statistiska Central Byrån, Statistics Estonia, Statistics Lithuania)

In Finland and Sweden, unemployment is lower than the European Union average: at the end of December, the unemployment rate in Finland was 7.4 per cent and in Sweden 7.1 per cent. In Estonia and Lithuania, the unemployment rates remain high: 10.9 per cent in Estonia and 15.3 per cent in Lithuania at the end of September. However, the adoption of the euro has had a positive impact on the Estonian economy, through tourism and foreign investment. (ibid.)

The instability of the financial market in Europe deepened towards the year-end, affecting the cost and availability of financing.

Property market

The Finnish property investment market overall has witnessed low levels of transactions since the slowdown of market in H1 2008. Even though the investment demand has been increasing, low supply of prime assets has limited the transactional activity. The retail investment volume remained below EUR 400 million in 2011. As a result of a strong investment demand both shopping centre and retail warehouse prime yields have moved in since the Q1 2010. The polarisation of the market seems also to continue and at the same time demand for core assets remains strong.

In Sweden, the retail property transaction volume increased from approximately SEK 3.22 billion in H1 2010 to SEK 8.537 billion in H1 2011. However, demand is weaker for secondary and tertiary retail property investments.

In Estonia, demand for shopping centre space has been growing as shopping in centres is increasing its share in shopping habits and retail chains are expanding. Despite global turmoil the outlook for Estonian retailing is positive and in general, plans to enlarge existing shopping centres have been resumed.

In Vilnius, Lithuania, there are no new shopping centres under development, but some super- and hypermarkets are under construction. (Source: Jones Lang LaSalle Finland Oy)

Tenants' sales and footfall in Citycon's shopping centres During the year, total sales in Citycon's shopping centres grew by 7 per cent and the footfall increased by 3 per cent, year-on-year. There was sales growth in all of the company's operating countries: 5 per cent in Finland, 7 per cent in Sweden and 18 per cent in the Baltic countries. In Finland, the footfall increased by 2 per cent, in Sweden by 6 per cent and in the Baltic countries by 2 per cent. Positive developments in sales and footfall are mainly attributable to redevelopment projects completed in recent years. Like-for-like shopping centre sales (sales excluding the impact of redevelopment projects and property acquisitions) grew by 4 per cent and were positive in all operating countries. Like-for-like footfall remained at the previous year's level.

Short-term risks and uncertainties

Citycon's Board of Directors considers the company's major short-term risks and uncertainties to be associated with economic development in the company's operating regions, which affects demand, vacancy rates and market rents in retail premises. In addition, key near-term risks include a rise in loan margins, weaker availability of debt financing and the fair value development of properties in uncertain economic conditions.

Although the financial crisis' effects on rent levels for retail premises, and on occupancy rates, have so far been minor in Citycon's operating areas, demand for retail premises, reduction of vacancy rates and market rent levels involve challenges in a sluggish economic environment. Economic developments, particularly trends impacting on consumer confidence and consumer behaviour, are inevitably affecting demand for retail premises. Escalation of the sovereign debt problems in the euro area towards the end of 2011 was followed by growing uncertainty in the financial markets; as a result, short-term financial growth forecasts have been revised downwards. Risks to financial growth are clearly higher, and in conditions of weak economic growth, rental levels typically will fall for retail premises, demand for new premises is lower, and vacancy rates will rise.

Implementation of Citycon's growth strategy requires new financing, which means the risks associated with the availability and cost of financing are of fundamental importance to Citycon. Banks' willingness to lend money to companies improved in 2010 and in early 2011, but towards the end of 2011 the availability of debt financing decreased and loan margins rose sharply as banks experienced more difficulties with their own funding. In the future, tightening regulation governing the banking and insurance sectors (Basel III and Solvency II regulations) is likely to push the costs of debt financing upwards, and to limit the availability of long-term bank loans. This will probably raise the cost of Citycon's new loan financing. So far this change in margins has been mitigated by reduced underlying base rates and Citycon's active financing policy. In 2012, the company does not have major refinancing needs, whereas in the next few years, Citycon will have to refinance some loan agreements signed at low margins before the financial crisis, which means the margins on these loans will rise. Such a rise in loan margins is likely to push Citycon's average interest rate up in the future, even if market interest rates remained largely unchanged.

At the moment, the fair value development of investment properties is characterised by high uncertainty caused by the sovereign debt crisis and the resulting harsh economic conditions. Several factors affect the fair value of the investment properties owned by Citycon, such as general and local economic development, interest rate levels, foreseeable inflation, the market rent trend, vacancy rates, property investors' yield requirements and the competitive environment. This uncertainty will reflect most strongly on retail properties located outside major cities, or in otherwise less attractive properties, because investor demand is not currently focused on these properties, and banks are not particularly keen to offer financing for such projects. Yet, at the same time, the fair value of winning shopping centres, which attract investor interest in uncertain conditions, has remained stable in 2011 or even increased.

The company's short-term risks and uncertainties, as well as its risk management and risk management principles, are discussed in more depth at www.citycon.com/riskmanagement, on pages 40-42 of the Financial Statements for 2011, and on pages 73–74 of the Annual Report for 2011, to be published in week seven.

Board proposal for dividend distribution and distribution of assets from the invested unrestricted equity fund

The parent company's retained earnings amount to EUR 11.5 million, including the profit for the period of EUR 7.6 million. On 31 December 2011, the funds in the parent company's invested unrestricted equity fund amounted to a total of EUR 277.2 million.

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 21 March 2012 that a per-share dividend of EUR 0.04 be paid out for the financial year ending on 31 December 2011, and that a return of equity of EUR 0.11 per share be returned from the invested unrestricted equity fund. The Board of Directors proposes that the record date for dividend payment and equity return be 26 March 2012 and that the dividend and equity return be paid on 4 April 2012.

Moreover, the Board of Directors proposes that the profit for the period is recognised in retained earnings.

In the view of the Board of Directors, the proposed distribution of profits and return of equity do not pose a risk to the company's solvency.

Outlook

Citycon continues to focus on increasing both its net cash flow from operating activities and its EPRA operating profit. In order to implement this strategy, the company will pursue value-added activities, selected acquisitions and proactive asset management.

Initiation of planned projects will be carefully evaluated against strict pre-leasing criteria. Citycon intends to continue the divestment of its non-core properties, in order to improve the property portfolio and strengthen the company's financial position. The company is also considering alternative property financing sources.

In 2012, Citycon expects to continue generating solid cash flow and expects its turnover to grow by EUR 7–16 million and its EPRA operating profit by EUR 8–16 million compared with the previous year, based on the existing property portfolio. The company expects its EPRA Earnings to increase by EUR 4–11 million from the previous year. Furthermore, the company expects its EPRA EPS (basic) to be EUR 0.21–0.23 based on existing property portfolio and number of shares. These estimates are based on already completed (re)development projects and those completed in the future, as well as on the prevailing level of inflation and the euro-krona exchange rate, and current interest rates. Properties taken offline for planned development projects will reduce net rental income during the year.

Property portfolio

Citycon's strategy is to focus on quality shopping centres in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Citycon seeks growth, both through shopping centre acquisitions and the redevelopment and expansion of its existing shopping centres. In its strategy updated in the summer of 2011, Citycon defined supermarkets and shops as non-core properties and announced its intention to divest these properties within the next few years.

At the end of 2011, the fair value of Citycon's property portfolio totalled EUR 2,522.1 million (EUR 2,367.7 million) and the company owned 36 (33) shopping centres and 44 (50) other properties. Of the shopping centres, 23 (22) were located in Finland, 9 (8) in Sweden and 4 (3) in the Baltic countries.

Citycon's gross capital expenditure (including acquisitions) for the period totalled EUR 216.7 million (EUR 133.7 million), with new property acquisitions accounting for EUR 138.9 million (EUR 4.2 million), agreed purchase price adjustments related to property acquisitions concluded earlier for EUR 1.1 million (EUR 2.6 million), acquisitions of jointly controlled entities for EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.0 million), property development for EUR 75.0 million (EUR 125.3 million) and other investments for EUR 1.4 million (EUR 1.7 million).

Capital expenditure (including acquisitions) during the period totalled EUR 62.5 million (EUR 76.3 million) in Finland, EUR 45.5 million (EUR 50.6 million) in Sweden and EUR 108.1 million (EUR 6.0 million) in the Baltic countries. Capital expenditure in the company's headquarters amounted to EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.8 million). The company made divestments totalling EUR 18.1 million (EUR 67.9 million), from which a total of EUR 0.6 million (EUR 2.1 million) was recognised in gains on sale (tax effect included).

Acquisitions

  • During the year:
  • • The shopping centre Kristiine in Tallinn, Estonia, was acquired for EUR 105 million. With a gross leasable area of 42,700 square metres, Kristiine is Tallinn's second-largest shopping centre after Rocca al Mare, also owned by Citycon. The Kristiine shopping centre is located on one of the main transportation corridors in the city centre of Tallinn and has a large catchment area of 270,000 inhabitants. The acquisition of Kristiine has strengthened Citycon's position in the Tallinn shopping centre market. More information on the acquisition can be found in the stock exchange release dated 17 March 2011.
  • • The Högdalen Centrum shopping centre in Stockholm was acquired for SEK 207.5 million (approx. EUR 23.1 million). Högdalen Centrum is located in southern Stockholm, roughly five kilometres from the city centre. The centre's gross leasable area is approximately 14,100 square metres, of which 11,000 square metres are retail premises. More information on the acquisition can be found in the stock exchange release dated 31 May 2011. In July, Citycon acquired all the shares in Kungsleden Imröret AB for approximately 48.7 million Swedish krona (approx. EUR 5.4 million). The company owns a retail property adjacent to Högdalen Centrum, with a gross leasable area of 5,200 square metres.
  • • The company acquired a 50% stake in Espagalleria Oy, for EUR 0.3 million. Espagalleria manages, leases and markets the shopping centre Kämp Galleria in downtown Helsinki.
  • • The company increased its holding in three properties where the company was already a shareholder: shares in Hervannan Liikekeskus Oy were bought for EUR 1.2 million, in Asunto Oy Tikkurilan Kassatalo for EUR 2.6 million and in Heikintori Oy for EUR 0.5 million. At the end of 2011, Citycon's ownership of these properties corresponded to 79.4 per cent, 59.7 per cent and 68.7 per cent, respectively.

Divestments

During the year:

• The company sold a 57.4 per centinterestin MREC Kiinteistö Oy Tullintori shares for approximately EUR 6.1 million. As a result, the company's leasable area fell by approximately 10,000 square metres. Citycon continues the commercial management of the shopping centre Tullintori.

  • • The company sold 57 apartments adjacentto the Jakobsberg Centrum shopping centre for approximately SEK 51.0 million (approx. EUR 5.6 million). As a result, Citycon's leasable area fell by approximately 4,600 square metres.
  • • The company sold 41 apartments connected to the Tumba Centrum shopping centre for approximately SEK 48 million (approx. EUR 5 million). As a result, the company's leasable area fell by 2,300 square metres.
  • • The company sold four non-core retail properties in Finland for a total of EUR 2.3 million. These properties were MREC Kiinteistö Oy Naantalin Tullikatu 16, Hakarinne, MREC Kiinteistö Oy Mäntyvuoksi and Otaniemen Liikekeskus Oy. As a result, the company's leasable area fell by 5,300 square metres.
  • • An agreement was signed to sell the retail property Landvetter, located in the Härryda municipality, for approximately SEK 50.5 million (approx. EUR 5.5 million). The transaction was finalised in January 2012. As a result, the leasable area fell by approximately 4,800 square metres.
  • • An agreement was signed to sell the retail property Floda near Gothenburg for approximately SEK 84.2 million (approx. EUR 9.4 million). The gross leasable area of the Floda property is approximately 11,200 square metres. The transaction is expected to be finalised in March 2012.

Changes in the Group structure during 2011 are presented on page 47 of the Financial Statements.

(Re)development projects

Citycon is pursuing a long-term increase in the footfall, cash flow and efficiency of its retail properties, as well as in the return on its investment in these properties. The purpose of the company's development activities is to keep its shopping centres competitive for both customers and tenants. In the short term, redevelopment projects weaken returns from some properties, as some retail premises may have to be temporarily vacated for refurbishment, affecting rental income. Citycon aims to complete its construction projects in phases, in order to secure continuous cash flow.

Ongoing (re)development projects

During the year:

• A major redevelopment project was initiated at the Koskikeskus shopping centre in Tampere, resulting in an increase of approximately 1,500 square metres of leasable area. Once the project is completed, Koskikeskus will have approximately 28,600 square metres of leasable retail area. The fully renovated Koskikeskus will open in November 2012. Koskikeskus will remain open and serve customers throughout the renovation project. The total project investment amounts to EUR 37.9 million.

  • • An extension of Iso Omena shopping centre was launched, involving the conversion of the former roof-top car park into retail premises. This project will expand the leasable premises in Iso Omena by approximately 2,400 square metres. More than half of the premises in the extension have been leased. The refurbished premises will be completed in November 2012. Citycon's investment in this project will total EUR 7.6 million.
  • • The redevelopment and extension of the Magistral shopping centre, Tallinn, was initiated in September. Magistral's interior will be thoroughly redeveloped and the shopping centre will be extended by some 2,400 square metres. With an estimated investment cost of EUR 7.0 million, the project is expected to be completed in the spring of 2012. The entire shopping centre is closed during the renovation and extension work.
  • • The shopping centre Åkermyntan Centrum's redevelopment project in Stockholm was launched. In this redevelopment project, the shopping centre and its parking will be renewed and energy efficiency will be improved. The shopping centre's gross leasable area will increase by approximately 1,600 square metres. The project investment amounts to approximately EUR 6.9 million and the project is expected to be completed towards the end of 2012.
  • • Three minor refurbishment projects were launched in Sweden: the refurbishments of Fruängen Centrum in Stockholm,

Lindome in Greater-Gothenburg area and Liljeholmstorget's office part. The combined estimated investment need of these projects is approximately EUR 7.5 million and all of these projects are expected to be completed during 2012.

• The company had nine (re)development projects underway, due to which some 17,600 square metres of retail space were offline. For the moment, the redevelopment projects of Porin Asema-aukio and Isolinnankatu have been discontinued and will be resumed when leasing moves ahead.

Completed (re)development projects

During the year:

  • • Refurbishment of the older part of Åkersberga Centrum was completed on schedule in April. The renovated shopping centre now provides premises for 70 shops and service providers.
  • • The first phase of the Myllypuron Ostari shopping centre construction project was completed and an opening ceremony was held on 9 June 2011. The shopping centre will be built in phases. During the year, phases two and three were also completed. The Myllypuron Ostari shopping centre is scheduled for completion in May 2012.
  • • The Martinlaakson Ostari shopping centre was opened in December 2011, replacing the previous retail centre. The leasable area of Martinlaakson Ostari is about 7,300 square metres. This project was launched in May 2010 and was completed according to the initial schedule and budget.

Major (re)development projects under planning

New projects planned during the year, requiring the approval of Citycon's Board of Directors prior to their launch, include the following:

  • • Plans to extend the Iso Omena shopping centre in Espoo proceeded in 2011. Citycon and NCC Property Development Oy have been granted a planning reservation for land use involving the above-ground premises of the future metro station, a feeder bus terminal and the extension of the Iso Omena shopping centre. The objective is to extend Iso Omena's retail premises by approximately 28,000–30,000 square metres. The estimated total retail space investment is EUR 140 million. Citycon intends to proceed with the shopping centre extension in sync with the metro line construction, which is scheduled for completion in 2015.
  • • Citycon is planning to launch a redevelopment and extension of the IsoKristiina shopping centre in Lappeenranta in 2013. The project covers a total area of some 25,000 square metres, with new retail premises to be built accounting for 7,000 square metres. The estimated total investment is EUR 60–65 million. These plans involve placing Lappeenranta's new city theatre in the shopping centre's extension.
  • • A co-operation agreement and a land use agreement were signed with Osuuskauppa Arina regarding the Galleria block in Oulu city centre. The purpose of the project is to convert the Galleria block into a shopping centre in co-operation with the other owners of the block. The project covers a total area of approximately 25,000 square metres, and Citycon's estimated investment is EUR 110 million. The aforementioned agreements are discussed in more detail in press releases published on 14 June 2011 and 9 November 2011.

The enclosed table lists the most significant (re)development projects in progress, as well as projects completed in 2010 and 2011. Further information on the company's completed, ongoing and planned (re)developments can be found on the corporate website and on pages 85–87 of the Annual Report for 2011, to be published in week seven.

Financial performance

The figures presented below are for the year 2011 and the figures in brackets are the reference figures for the year 2010, unless otherwise indicated.

Turnover

The company's turnover consists mainly of rental income from retail properties, and utility and service charge income. Turnover came to EUR 217.1 million (EUR 195.9 million). Turnover grew by EUR 21.1 million, or 10.8 per cent. With comparable exchange rates, turnover increased by EUR 18.2 million, or 9.3 per cent. Completed redevelopment projects, such as Espoontori, Forum in Jyväskylä and Åkersberga Centrum, accounted for EUR 6.5 million of turnover growth, with acquisitions accounting for EUR 10.3 million. Divestments (see divestments in 2011 under paragraph Property portfolio; sales of apartments in Sweden in 2010 are included in the reference period's divestment portfolio) decreased turnover by EUR 1.8 million. Like-for-like properties contributed to turnover growth by EUR 3.2 million. (Also see the table Net rental income and turnover by segment and property portfolio.)

Turnover from like-for-like properties increased thanks to higher rental levels and improved occupancy rate in shopping centres, but reduced due to higher vacancy rates in other retail properties. Turnover from like-for-like properties was also increased by temporary rental rebates falling from EUR 3.0 million to EUR 2.4 million.

At the year-end, Citycon had a total of 3,955 (3,765) leases. The leasable area increased by 5.6 per cent to 994,730 square metres. Changes in the number of lease agreements and in the leasable area were due to acquisitions of shopping centre properties in the Baltic Countries and Sweden, and the opening of redeveloped properties. These were offset by the divestments of the shopping centre Tullintori and supermarket properties in Finland, and of residential units in Sweden. The average remaining length of the lease portfolio increased and was 3.4 (3.2) years. The average rent increased from EUR 18.7/sq.m. to EUR 19.7/sq.m. thanks to exchange rate changes, redevelopment projects, property acquisitions and divestments, as well as to index increments. The economic occupancy rate rose to 95.5 per cent (95.1%), due to lower vacancy rates in shopping centres. During the preceding twelve months, the rolling twelve-month occupancy cost ratio for like-for-like shopping centre properties was 8.9 per cent.

Property operating expenses

Property operating expenses consist of maintenance costs relating to real estate properties, such as electricity, cleaning and repairs. Property operating expenses rose by EUR 4.2 million, from EUR 67.4 million to EUR 71.6 million. With comparable exchange rates, the operating expenses increased by EUR 2.8 million, i.e. 4.1 per cent. Completed (re)development projects and acquisitions increased property operating expenses, while divestments decreased them. Like-for-like property operating expenses decreased by EUR 0.5 million due to ao. lower marketing costs. On the other hand, higher electricity and heating costs increased like-forlike property operating expenses, arising from the environmental electricity tax and cold winter (Cf. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 8 Property operating expenses). Snow loading expenses decreased from the previous year.

REPORT B Y THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Other expenses from leasing operations

Other expenses from leasing operations consist of tenant improvements and credit losses. They totalled EUR 1.2 million (EUR 1.3 million). The decrease in expenses was mainly due to lower credit losses in Finnish operations.

Net rental income

Citycon's net rental income was EUR 144.3 million (EUR 127.2 million). Net rental income increased by EUR 17.1 million or 13.4 per cent. With comparable exchange rates, net rental income increased by EUR 15.5 million, i.e. 12.2 per cent. Redevelopment projects such as Espoontori, Forum in Jyväskylä and Åkersberga Centrum increased net rental income by EUR 5.3 million, while the acquisitions of the Kristiine and Högdalen Centrum shopping centres increased net rental income by EUR 7.0 million. Divestments reduced net rental income by EUR 0.8 million. Like-forlike net rental income grew by EUR 4.0 million or 3.8 per cent, mainly thanks to a clear increase in net rental income from Liljeholmstorget Galleria and other shopping centres, and reduced vacancy rates. The negative net rental income development in the Finnish like-for-like portfolio was mainly due to two largely vacant supermarket and shop properties, one in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and one in Pori.

Citycon's property portfolio's net rental yield was 6.0 per cent (5.8%).

The following table presents like-for-like net rental income growth by segment. Like-for-like properties are properties held by Citycon throughout two full preceding periods, excluding properties under redevelopment or extension and undeveloped lots. 60.9 per cent of like-for-like properties are located in Finland, measured in net rental income.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses totalled EUR 28.0 million (EUR 23.3 million). This represented an increase of EUR 4.7 million or 20.4 per cent, mainly due to reorganisation costs (EUR 0.9 million), lower capitalisation of expenses for personnel involved in development projects (EUR 0.8 million), non-cash stock option costs (EUR 1.5 million) and a higher average headcount. In 2010, the amount of development personnel capitalised expenses was higher, as projects that had been planned for several years were started.

At the year-end, Citycon Group employed a total of 136 (129) persons, of whom 90 worked in Finland, 35 in Sweden, 10 in the Baltic countries and 1 in the Netherlands.

Citycon Group paid a total of EUR 11.2 million (EUR 8.7 million) in salaries and other remuneration, of which the share of the Group's managing directors' salaries and other remuneration was EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.4 million) and the share of the Board of Directors EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.7 million). The parent company paid a total of EUR 10.0 million (EUR 6.4 million) in salaries and other remuneration, of which the share of the CEO's salary and remuneration was EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.4 million) and the share of the Board of Directors EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.7 million).

ties by EUR –42.6 million, offset by an increase in the value of the shopping centres by EUR 7.3 million. The company recorded a total value increase of EUR 39.8 million (EUR 95.7 million) and a total value decrease of EUR 75.1 million (EUR 44.9 million). On 31 December 2011, the average net yield requirement defined by Jones Lang LaSalle Finland Oy for Citycon's entire property portfolio was 6.4 per cent (30 September 2011: 6.4%). The net yield requirement for properties in Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries was 6.3 per cent, 5.9 per cent and 8.0 per cent, respectively. The yield requirement for supermarket and shop properties increased, while future market rent estimates slightly reduced and cost estimates related to some of these properties rose.

The average market rent used for the valuation rose to EUR 23.8/sq.m. up from EUR 23.6/sq.m. (cf. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 17: Investment Property). Jones Lang LaSalle Finland Oy's Valuation Statement for the year-end can be found on the corporate website at www.citycon.com/valuation.

Net gains on sale of investment properties

Net gains on the sale of investment properties totalled EUR 0.6 million (EUR 2.6 million) (cf. Property portfolio). The reference figure for 2010 included EUR 0.5 million in gains on sale from the divestment of apartments in Jakobsbergs Centrum and Åkersberga Centrum, and EUR 2.2 million from the sale of the building rights for apartments to be built in connection with the Myllypuron Ostari shopping centre.

Operating profit

Operating profit came to EUR 81.8 million (EUR 157.7 million), being lower mainly due to negative fair value changes, lower gains on sale and higher administrative expenses offset by the increase in net rental income.

Net financial expenses

Net financial expenses increased by EUR 7.5 million to EUR 62.4 million (EUR 54.9 million). This increase was mainly attributable to higher interest expenses as a result of higher interest-bearing debt and appreciation of the Swedish krona. Interest-bearing debt increased due to investments and stronger Swedish krona. The year-to-date weighted average interest rate for interest-bearing debt remained virtually unchanged compared to the previous year, being 4.03 per cent (4.04%), because general market interest rates remained on a very low level. At the year-end, the weighted average interest rate, including interest rate swaps, rose to 4.07 per cent (3.91%). The year-end average interest rate increased due to higher credit margins on new loans signed in 2011.

Share of profit of jointly controlled entities

Share of profit of jointly controlled entities totalled EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.0 million). Share of profit of jointly controlled entities represents Citycon's share of the profit of Espagalleria Oy.

Income taxes

Income tax benefit for the financial period was EUR 1.6 million (income tax expense of EUR 12.5 million). The increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to deferred tax benefit of EUR 2.5 million resulting from fair value losses on investment properties in 2011 compared to deferred tax expenses of EUR 11.8 million resulting from fair value gains on investment properties in 2010.

Profit for the period

Profit for the period came to EUR 21.3 million (EUR 90.4 million). The decrease was mainly due to the lower operating profit resulting from negative fair value changes and higher financial expenses.

EPRA Earnings

The company's EPRA Earnings was EUR 53.3 million (EUR 47.3 million), up by EUR 6.0 million or 12.7 per cent (cf. EPRA Performance measures, table 1: EPRA Earnings). Growth in the EPRA Earnings was primarily due to net rental income growth. The reasons for net rental income growth can be found under Net rental income. EPRA Earnings was lowered by higher administrative expenses and financial expenses. The reasons for administrative expenses growth are given under Administrative expenses. The increase in financial expenses in 2011 arose from higher interest expenses due to an increase in interest-bearing debt. The effect of changes in the fair value of the property portfolio, of gains on sales and other indirect items on the profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders, tax effects included, was EUR –40.3 million (EUR 31.1 million). These items have no impact on EPRA Earnings.

Statement of financial position and financing

Investment properties

The fair value of the company's property portfolio totalled EUR 2,522.1 million (EUR 2,367.7 million), with Finnish properties accounting for 61.4 per cent (64.7%), Swedish properties for 27.6 per cent (28.2%) and Baltic properties for 11.0 per cent (7.0%).

The fair value of investment properties increased by EUR 154.4 million because of gross capital expenditure of EUR 214.9 million, offset by divestments totalling EUR 16.6 million (see Property portfolio) and by EUR 12.7 million due to the transfer of Floda and Landvetter into Investment properties held for sale -category. In addition, net fair value losses on investment properties decreased the value of investment properties by EUR 35.3 million (see detailed analysis under Financial Performance: Net fair value gains on investment properties). The streghtening of the Swedish krona increased the fair value of the investment properties by EUR 4.0 million.

Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity attributable to parent company's shareholders was EUR 902.6 million (EUR 849.5 million). This figure increased from the end of 2010 due to a share issue of EUR 98.9 million (net of transaction costs) executed in July 2011. In addition, the profit for the reporting period attributable to parent company shareholders' increased shareholders' equity. On the other hand, dividend payments and equity returns, as well as the fair value change of interest derivative contracts, decreased shareholders' equity. Citycon applies hedge accounting, which means that fair value changes of applicable interest derivatives are recorded under Other items of comprehensive income, which affects shareholders' equity. A loss on fair value of interest derivatives of EUR -26.8 million was recorded for the period, taking into account their tax effect (a gain of EUR 3.8 million) (cf. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 23: Derivative financial instruments).

Due to the aforementioned items, NAV per share decreased to EUR 3.62 (EUR 3.79) and NNNAV per share to EUR 3.29 (EUR 3.49). The equity ratio was 36.0 per cent (37.1%). The company's equity ratio, as defined in the loan agreement covenants, decreased to 39.0 per cent (39.4 %) due to net fair value losses on investment properties.

Loans

Liabilities totalled EUR 1,715.9 million (EUR 1,536.3 million), with short-term liabilities accounting for EUR 262.2 million (EUR 242.2 million). At the year-end, Citycon's liquidity was EUR 345.0 million, of which EUR 253.7 million consisted of undrawn, committed credit facilities and EUR 91.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. At the end of the year, Citycon's liquidity, excluding commercial papers, stood at EUR 296.3 million (EUR 267.1 million on 30 September 2011). The July share offering of approximately EUR 99 million and the EUR 75 million new loan agreement signed in August increased liquidity.

Interest-bearing debt increased year on year by EUR 150.3 million to EUR 1,547.9 million (EUR 1,397.7 million). The fair value of interest-bearing debt was EUR 1,554.8 million (EUR 1,405.5 million) at the period- end. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 91.3 million (EUR 19.5 million), making the fair value of interest-bearing net debt EUR 1,463.5 million (EUR 1,386.0 million). The average loan maturity, weighted according to the principal amount of the loans, was 2.9 years (3.1 years). The average interest-rate fixing period remained at 3.6 years (3.6 years).

Citycon's interest coverage ratio remained unchanged and stood at 2.0x (Q3/2011: 2.0x).

Fixed-rate debt accounted for 81.3 per cent (80.3%) of the period-end interest-bearing debt, interest-rate swaps included. The hedge ratio increased because Citycon made new hedges and used the proceeds from the share offering to repay floating rate debt. The debt portfolio's hedging ratio was in line with the company's financing policy.

On 2 August 2006, Citycon issued subordinated convertible bonds of EUR 110 million. The terms and conditions of the convertible bonds, as well as the remaining principal and accrued interest, are presented in Note 28 Loans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash flow statement

Net cash from operating activities

Net cash from operating activities totalled EUR 66.0 million (EUR 20.0 million). The increase was due to higher EPRA operating profit, received tax returns, as well as extraordinary items and timing differences.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities totalled EUR –203.0 million (EUR –67.5 million). Acquisitions were EUR 139.2 million (EUR 6.7 million). Capital expenditure related to investment properties, shares in jointly controlled entities and tangible and intangible assets totalled EUR 82.4 million (EUR 127.0 million). Negative cash flow from investing activities was reduced by sales of investment properties totalling EUR 18.6 million (EUR 66.3 million).

Net cash from financing activities

Net cash from financing activities totalled EUR 208.5 million (EUR 45.2 million). This consisted of share issue in July 2011, loan repayments, new loan withdrawals and dividend and equity return payments. New equity was raised and new loans were taken out to finance redevelopment investments, acquisitions in Estonia, Sweden and Finland and the payment of dividends and equity return.

Legal proceedings

In August, SRV Construction Ltd initiated arbitration proceedings against Citycon's subsidiary, MREC Kiinteistö Oy Espoontori related to Espoontori shopping centre's completed redevelopment project. The dispute's monetary value is approximately EUR 4.6 million including VAT. Citycon does not expect SRV's claim to have significant impact on the company's financial position or results.

Additional claims have been submitted to the company relating to Citycon's business operations which may possibly lead to legal proceedings. In the company's view, it is improbable that the aforementioned claims or associated liabilities will have a significant impact on the company's financial position or financial results.

Financial performance of the business units

Citycon's business operations are divided into three business units: Finland, Sweden and the Baltic Countries. The Finnish unit is subdivided into five functions: Centre Management (operative management of shopping centres), Leasing, Marketing, Property Development, and Finance and Administration. The Swedish unit is subdivided into three functions: Retail Property Management, Leasing and Commercial Planning, and Property Development. The Baltic unit is subdivided into two functions: Retail Property Management and Property Development.

Finland

Citycon is the market leader in the Finnish shopping centre business. At the year-end, the company owned 23 shopping centres and 37 other properties in Finland, with a total leasable area of 577,630 square metres (579,980 sq.m.). The leasable area fell due to completed divestments (cf. Property portfolio). The annualised potential rental value increased to EUR 139.3 million, mainly due to completed redevelopment projects (Myllypuro and Martinlaakso).

Lease agreements started during the financial year applied to a GLA of 137,118 square metres (107, 970 sq.m.). The average rent for new lease agreements was slightly lower than average rent for the entire Finnish property portfolio, mainly due to new leases in supermarket and shop properties, which generally have lower rents than shopping centre properties. Ended lease agreements applied to 138,435 square metres (122,680 sq.m.). The average rent for ended lease agreements was also slightly lower than the average for the entire Finnish property portfolio, mainly due to divestments (e.g. Tullintori) and the ended office leases (accounting for approx. 8,600 sq.m.). The average rent rose from EUR 20.3/sq.m. to EUR 21.0/sq.m., mainly thanks to completed redevelopment projects, divestments and index increments. The occupancy rate increased to 94.1 per cent (94.0%), following the decreased vacancy in shopping centre properties and reduced future rental estimates of certain vacant premises in supermarket and shop properties. In shopping centres, the occupancy rate was 96.3 per cent and the average rent was EUR 24.1/sq.m.

Citycon's net rental income from Finnish operations during the financial year totalled EUR 90.5 million (EUR 86.7 million). Net rental income grew by EUR 3.7 million or 4.3 per cent, thanks to the EUR 4.2 million effect of completed redevelopment projects such as Espoontori, Forum in Jyväskylä and a retail property in Kirkkonummi. Net rental income for like-for-like properties in Finland fell by EUR 0.7 million, mainly due to the higher vacancy rate in supermarket and shop properties. The business unit accounted for 62.7 per cent (68.2%) of Citycon's total net rental income. Net rental yield was 6.0 per cent (6.0%).

REPORT B Y THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

At the end of the year, the company had nine shopping centres and seven other retail properties in Sweden, with a total leasable area of 303,700 square metres (291,500 sq.m.). The properties are located in the Greater Stockholm and Gothenburg Areas and in Umeå. The leasable area increased due to the acquisition of the Högdalen Centrum shopping centre and was offset by the divestment of residential units. The annualised potential rental value increased to EUR 62.7 million, mainly due to the aforementioned acquisition and to exchange rate fluctuations.

Lease agreements started during the financial year applied to a GLA of 37,006 square metres (46,879 sq.m.). The average rent level for new lease agreements was higher than the average for the entire Swedish property portfolio, mainly due to new retail lease agreements in the shopping centres. Ended lease agreements applied to 35,816 square metres (62,584 sq.m.). The average rent level for ended lease agreements was lower than the average for the entire Swedish property portfolio, due to residential divestments and ended leases in supermarket and shop properties.

The average rent rose from EUR 15.9/sq.m. to EUR 17.2/sq.m., mainly due to exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the property portfolio (such as residential divestments). The occupancy

rate rose to 97.0 per cent (96.4%), thanks to reduced vacancy rates both in shopping centre and supermarket and shop properties.

The company's net rental income from Swedish operations increased by EUR 6.7 million or 23.3 per cent to EUR 35.4 million (EUR 28.7 million). Excluding the impact of the strengthened Swedish krona, net rental income from Swedish operations increased by EUR 5.1 million or 16.7 per cent. The increase in net rental income was due to the completion of Åkersberga Centrum redevelopment project, the acquisition of the Högdalen Centrum shopping centre as well as to net rental income increases from like-for-like properties. Net rental income from like-for-like properties grew by EUR 3.8 million, thanks mainly to improved net rental income from Liljeholmstorget Galleria. The business unit accounted for 24.5 per cent (22.6%) of Citycon's total net rental income. Net rental yield was 5.4 per cent, representing an increase of 0.6 percentage points from the reference year. The increase was due mainly to Liljeholmstorget Galleria's improved performance compared to its performance year before.

Baltic Countries

Citycon has four shopping centres in the Baltic countries: Rocca al Mare, Kristiine and Magistral in Tallinn, Estonia, and Mandarinas in Vilnius, Lithuania. The company acquired the Kristiine shopping centre on 2 May 2011. At the year-end, these properties' gross leasable area totalled 113,400 square metres (70,800 sq.m.). The annualised potential rental value increased to EUR 26.5 million, mostly due to the acquisition of the Kristiine shopping centre. The average rent rose from EUR 17.8/sq.m. to EUR 20.2/sq.m. due to the Kristiine acquisition and the closure of the Magistral shopping centre.

Lease agreements started during the financial year applied to a GLA of 2,882 square metres (5,366 sq.m.). The average rent level for new lease agreements was lower than the average for the entire Baltic property portfolio, mainly due to new office leases. Ended lease agreements applied to 11,869 square metres (5,225 sq.m.). The average rent level for ended lease agreements was lower than the average for the entire Baltic property portfolio, as leases in Magistral shopping centre were terminated due to the start of the redevelopment project.

The occupancy rate rose to 100.0 per cent (99.7%), because all vacant premises were leased.

The net rental income from Baltic operations increased markedly by EUR 6.6 million to EUR 18.4 million (EUR 11.8 million) mainly due to acquisition of the Kristiine shopping centre and like-for-like growth of EUR 0.9 million. The business unit accounted for 12.8 per cent (9.3%) of Citycon's total net rental income. Net rental yield was 7.9 per cent, representing an increase of 0.4 percentage points from the reference year. This increase was due to the rise in net rental income.

Environmental responsibility

Citycon seeks to lead the way in responsible shopping centre operations and to promote sustainable development within the business. The location of Citycon's shopping centres in city centres, local centres or generally adjacent to major traffic flows, combined with excellent public transport connections, makes them well positioned to face the demands of sustainable development.

In its sustainability reporting, Citycon applies for the first time the construction and real estate sector specific (CRESS) guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative, as well as the guidelines published by EPRA in autumn 2011, which Citycon helped to compile. Calculation methods have been retroactively revised to comply with the new and revised guidelines, primarily with respect to electricity consumption and the carbon footprint. The results and indicators for environmental responsibility for 2011 are presented on pages 48–53 of the Annual and Sustainability Report, to be published in week seven.

During 2011, all Citycon shopping centres were audited according to the Green Shopping Centre Management programme. The Green Shopping Centre Management programme is an internal company tool for advancing sustainable development in all of the company's shopping centres. The Green Index, established for assessing these results, rose by 11.1 per cent from the previous year. Citycon has conducted an extensive assessment of measures for improving its properties' energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The objective in 2012 is to invest in measures which generate savings in consumption and costs, such as renewing lighting or increasing frequency transformer use and control in ventilation systems. Furthermore, we ensure the continuous optimisation of adjustments and temperature settings for technical systems, in order to meet consumption and cost saving targets.

Environmental responsibility results 2011 vs. 2009

The company defined its long-term environmental responsibility objectives in connection with its strategic planning in summer 2009. Citycon has set targets for its carbon footprint, energy and water consumption, waste recycling rate as well as land use and sustainable construction. Performance is compared to the base level of 2009. In 2011, Citycon's aim was to reduce its carbon footprint by 2–3 per cent, its energy consumption by 2–3 per cent and the water consumption in its shopping centres to an average of 3.8 litres per visitor per year. The long-term objectives for waste management and recycling were modified after the original objectives were already reached within the first year. The new long-term target for waste recycling rate is 80 per cent by 2015, and the corresponding annual target for 2011 was 78 per cent. Landfill waste may account for a maximum of 20 per cent of total waste by 2015, and the corresponding annual target for 2011 was 22 per cent.

Energy

Citycon procured a total of 181.1 gigawatt hours of electricity in 2011. Consumption was 3.2 per cent higher compared to the 2009 level. This increase can be attributed to changes in the property portfolio and to higher energy consumption by tenants. Total electricity consumption (incl. tenants' electricity) in likefor-like shopping centres decreased by 2.5 per cent from 2009. Electricity consumption in common areas (excl. electricity used by tenants) amounted to 110.6 gigawatt hours, showing an increase of two per cent from 2009 due to changes in the property portfolio and increased consumption in supermarket and shop properties. In like-for-like shopping centres electricity consumption in common areas decreased by 4.9 per cent.

Heating energy consumption came to 136.2 gigawatt hours. Due to the exceptionally cold weather at the beginning of the year but a mild autumn and late winter, heating energy consumption fell by 2.4 per cent from 2009. Weather-adjusted consumption, 142.1 gigawatt hours, rose by one per cent. Heating energy consumption in like-for-like shopping centre properties decreased by 2.2 per cent.

Citycon's total energy consumption (incl. electricity consumption in common areas, heating and cooling) amounted to 246.6 gigawatt hours. The consumption decreased by 0.6 per cent compared to the 2009 level. In shopping centres, energy consumption per visitor decreased by 14.4 per cent and energy consumption per sales fell by 21.2 per cent. Also, energy consumption per gross leasable area fell by 6.7 per cent. Total energy consumption in like-for-like shopping centre properties decreased by 2.4 per cent, which means Citycon was able to reach the targeted annual 2–3 per cent reduction in energy consumption.

Citycon's reported energy consumption covers shopping centres owned by Citycon and other properties where Citycon's share of ownership is at least 50 per cent. Citycon also reports the tenants' electricity consumption in cases where Citycon is responsible for electricity procurement. Cases where the energy purchase agreement is under a tenant's responsibility have been excluded from reporting. In terms of key figures and results, Citycon has limited the reported electricity consumption to common areas, where Citycon can directly influence the consumption. This includes the electricity used for general lighting, ventilation and cooling, as well as lifts and escalators and other building technical systems. Energy used for heating and cooling is reported in its entirety.

Carbon footprint

In 2011, the carbon footprint totalled 69,413 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. The carbon footprint reported by Citycon covers the energy and water consumption in properties, waste logistics and the emissions generated by the Citycon organisation. Energy consumption in properties constitutes 98.8 per cent of the carbon footprint. The carbon footprint grew by 10.6 per cent compared to the baseline year 2009. The growth in carbon footprint is mainly caused by changes in the property portfolio, i.e. carbon emission of new centres Kristiine and Högdalen. The carbon footprint of like-for-like shopping centres decreased by 0.8 per cent and 11.6 per cent per visitor. The annual target for reducing the carbon footprint by 2-3 per cent was not attained.

Water

The total water consumption in all shopping centres and retail properties owned by Citycon was 638,851 cubic metres in 2011. This includes water consumed by the real estate company and tenants. Water consumption showed a marked increase of 18.1 per cent in 2011. This increase can be attributed to changes in the Estonian and Swedish property portfolios, and positive development in grocery as well as café & restaurant sales. Water consumption in like-for-like shopping centre properties rose by 13.4 per cent. Water consumption proportionate to sales decreased by 5.8 per cent compared to the 2009 level. The longterm water consumption target has been set at 3.5 litres per visitor per year. In 2011, water consumption per visitor in shopping centres was 4.3 litres and 4.6 litres in like-for-like shopping centres, which means the target for reducing water consumption per visitor was not met in 2011.

Waste

The total waste volume generated by Citycon's shopping centres amounted to 15,361 tonnes, with landfill waste accounting for 3,263 tonnes, or 22.4 per cent. Waste volumes have been rising in all operating countries from previous years, including in likefor-like shopping centres. In 2011, waste volumes rose by 14.5 per cent from the previous year. Similarly, the waste volume proportionate to sales showed an increase. The recycling rate in shopping centres improved slightly to 77.6 per cent. The Baltic countries saw their recycling rate improve dramatically to 82.1 per cent, from 34.3 per cent a year earlier. Citycon's annual targets set for waste processing and recycling were achieved.

Land use and sustainable construction

In property acquisition, Citycon complies with its strategic environmental responsibility policies, which state that properties must be located in a built environment and easily accessible by public transport. Good examples of such properties are the Kristiine shopping centre in Tallinn and the Högdalen Centrum in Stockholm acquired in 2011.

Environmental certification represents a key element in Citycon's efforts towards sustainable development. An application has been made for LEED classification for the company's shopping centre project in the Martinlaakso district in Vantaa. Gold-level certification is being sought and is expected to be confirmed in the spring of 2012.

These new shares were registered in the Trade Register on 15 July 2011 and trading in them began on 18 July 2011 on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. Following the registration, the number of shares in the company increased to 244,811,297 shares.

Also in July, Citycon arranged a directed share offering. The offering was based upon the authorisation granted by Citycon's Annual General Meeting of 13 March 2007. Waiving the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights, the share offering was directed to Finnish and international institutional investors and was carried out in an accelerated book-building process on 13 July 2011.

Based on the bids submitted during the book-building process, on 13 July 2011 the company's Board of Directors decided to issue 33 million new shares at a per-share subscription price of EUR 3.02. The subscription price, EUR 99 million, was recorded in the invested unrestricted equity fund.

The new shares entitle their holders to a dividend for the financial year 2011. Following the issue, the number of the company's shares rose to 277,811,297. The new shares offered accounted for 13.5 per cent of the number of Citycon's shares prior to the offering and for 11.9 per cent thereafter.

Board authorisations and own shares

Pursuant to a share issue authorisation granted by the AGM of 2007, the Board of Directors can still decide on a maximum of 9,537,087 shares to be issued or treasury shares to be conveyed. Based on this authorisation, the Board may also decide on the grant of stock options and other special rights. The Board exercised this authorisation on 3 May 2011 when it decided to issue stock options; on 12 July 2011 when it decided on directed share issues without payment as a part of the company's long-term share-based incentive plan; and on 13 July 2011, when it decided on a directed share offering to Finnish and international institutional investors. This authorisation will be valid until 13 March 2012.

At the end of the year, the company had no treasury shares.

Incentive schemes

Stock option plan 2004

The AGM held on 15 March 2004 decided to issue a maximum of 3,900,000 A/B/C stock options to Citycon Group personnel. This stock option plan expired at the end of March 2011 simultaneously with the expiry of the subscription period with C-options. No shares were subscribed by exercising C-options.

Stock option plan 2011

The Board of Directors of Citycon Oyj decided on 3 May 2011, by virtue of an authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting held on 13 March 2007, to issue stock options to key personnel of the company and its subsidiaries. The company had a weighty financial reason for the issue of stock options, since the stock options are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment programme for key personnel. The purpose of the stock options is to encourage key personnel to work on a longterm basis to increase shareholder value. The purpose of the stock options is also to commit the key personnel to the company.

The maximum total number of stock options that can be issued is 7,250,000, and they entitle their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 7,250,000 new shares in the company or existing shares held by the company. The stock options will be issued gratuitously. The stock options are marked with the symbol 2011A(I), 2011A(II) and 2011A(III); with the symbol 2011B(I), 2011B(II) and 2011B(III); with the symbol 2011C(I), 2011C(II) and 2011C(III); and with the symbol 2011D(I), 2011D(II) and 2011D(III). Upon the distribution of stock options the Board of Directors will decide on how the stock options are divided into sub-categories.

The number of shares subscribed by exercising stock options 2011 corresponds to a maximum total of 2.6 per cent of the shares and votes in the company, after the potential share subscription, if new shares are issued in the share subscription.

Share subscription prices

The subscription prices of the shares to be subscribed for by exercising the 2011 stock options were determined on the basis of the trade volume weighted average price of Citycon share quoted on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. during twenty (20) trading days following the release date of the company's Full Year 2010 Results, Q1/2011 Interim Report and Q3/2011 Interim Report, as follows:

The following Notes, the numbers 1 - 4, present how EPRA Performance Measures are calculated. The Notes 5 and 6 present the EPRA Key Performance Measures for the last 5 years.

CFO's comment on the development of EPRA Earnings: EPRA earnings (in EUR millions) increased by EUR 6.0 million to EUR 53.3 million in 2011 from EUR 47.3 million in 2010. The increase was a result of NRI growth through acquisitions, (re)development projects and positive like-for-like growth. To the contrary, EPRA Earnings was negatively impacted by increased administration and financial expenses. Administration expenses increased significantly because of the change process of the company, which lead to one-off costs amounting to EUR 2.4 million. EPRA Earnings per share (basic) stayed at EUR 0.21 compared to EUR 0.21 in 2010 due to higher EPRA Earnings offset by higher number of shares, which resulted from share issue executed in July 2011.

1) EPRA EARNINGS

EPRA Earnings is presenting the underlying operating performance of a real estate company excluding all so called non-recurring items such as net fair value gains/losses on investment properties, profit/loss on disposals and limited other non-recurring items. It provides a measure for recurring income, but doesn't exclude exceptional items that are part of normal IFRS earnings. EPRA earnings is especially important for investors who want to assess the extent to which dividends are supported by recurring income. Citycon has been paying 0.14 EUR/share as dividends and equity return for several years already, and for the financial statements 2011, the Board of Directors propose for annual general meeting a dividend and equity return of 0.15 EUR/share.

Citycon has been previously disclosing only EPRA Earnings, diluted. In the financial statements 2011, Citycon discloses also EPRA Earnings basic and in the future is going to only disclose EPRA Earnings basic in accordance with EPRA's Recommendations.

1) Calculation of the number of shares is presented in Note 16. Earnings per share.

CFO's comment on the development of EPRA NAV per share and EPRA NNNAV per share:

EPRA NAV per share decreased by EUR 0.17 to EUR 3.62 (EUR 3.79) due to larger number of shares following the share issue on July 2011 and fair value losses of investment properties from the non-core portfolio. EPRA NNNAV per share decreased by EUR 0.20 to EUR 3.29 (EUR 3.49). In addition to the reasons for a decrease in EPRA NAV per share, EPRA NNNAV per share was reduced by negative valuation of interest rate hedges, owing to lower interest rates, which decreased EPRA NNNAV per share by EUR 0.09.

2) EPRA NAV PER SHARE AND EPRA NNNAV PER SHARE

EPRA NAV is presenting the fair value of net assets of a real estate company. It is based on the assumption of owning and operating investment properties for a long term and therefore it is a useful tool to compare against the share price of a real estate company. The share price of Citycon was 2.31 EUR/share on December 31, 2011.

As EPRA NAV intends to reflect the fair value of a business on a going-concern basis, all items arising from future disposals and the fair value of financial instruments are excluded from EPRA NAV. Items arising from future disposals are the deferred taxes that would materialise only on disposal of properties. Fair value of financial instruments i.e. mark-to-market value of hedging instruments will end up zero as they are held to maturity. Therefore, the fair value of financial instruments at the balance sheet date is excluded from EPRA NAV.

EPRA NNNAV is including the deferred tax liabilities and fair value of financial instruments and therefore it is a measure of the real estate company's "spot" fair value at the balance sheet date. Spot fair value means that EPRA NNNAV reflects the fair value of net assets of the company at a particular day opposed to EPRA NAV, which reflects the fair value of net assets on a going-concern basis. However, EPRA NNNAV is not either a liquidation NAV as the fair values of assets and liabilities are not based on a liquidation scenario.

1) Secondary market price

When calculating the EPRA NNNAV in accordance with EPRA's recommendations, the shareholders' equity is adjusted using EPRA's guidelines so that bonds and capital loans are valued based on secondary market prices. In accordance with Citycon's accounting policies, the carrying amount and fair value of bonds and capital loans are different from this secondary market price. Due to this, in the calculation of this key figure convertible capital loan 1/2006 and bond 1/2009 have been valued using the price derived from the secondary market on the balance sheet date. The secondary market price for convertible capital loan 1/2006 was 82.90 per cent (95.50%) and for bond 1/2009 101.85 per cent (99.00%) as of 31 December 2011. The difference between the secondary market price and the fair value of the bonds and capital loans was EUR 11.4 million (EUR 3.6 million) as of 31 December 2011.

3) EPRA NET INITIAL YIELD (NIY) (%) AND EPRA "TOPPED-UP" NIY (%)

There are a variety of yield performance indicators in the real estate market to present the companies' ability to generate rent. In order to have a consistent yield definition and comparable yield indicators between the real estate companies, EPRA has published a best practice recommendation for yield calculation i.e. EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY).

EPRA NIY is calculated as the annualised rental income, based on the valid rent roll on the balance sheet date, divided by the gross market value of the completed property portfolio (including estimated transaction costs and excluding properties under development, lots, unused building right and properties the valuation of which is based on the value of the building right). Citycon also discloses net rental yield, which is calculated over the past 12 month period, by constructing an index from the monthly net rental income and computational monthly market value figures. Net rental yield includes the total property portfolio and excludes estimated transaction costs.

EPRA "topped-up" NIY presents the yield of a company with the full rent that is already agreed at the balance sheet date. In EPRA "topped-up" yield, the cash rent is "topped-up" to reflect rent after the expiry of lease incentives such as rent free periods and discounted rents.

Fair value of investment properties determined by the external appraiser 2,515.0 2,361.1
Less (re)development properties, lots, unused building rights and properties, the valuation of which is based on the value of
the building right -559.6 -487.4
Completed property portfolio 1,955.4 1,873.7
Plus the estimated purchasers' transaction costs 36.8 37.1
Gross value of completed property portfolio (A) 1,992.2 1,910.8
Annualised gross rents for completed property portfolio 179.5 170.8
Property portfolio's operating expenses -56.6 -50.2
Annualised net rents (B) 122.9 120.6
Plus the notional rent expiration of rent free periods or other lease incentives 2.5 2.4
Topped-up annualised net rents ( C) 125.4 123.0
EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY) (%) (B/A) 6.2 6.3
EPRA "topped-up" NIY (%) (C/A) 6.3 6.4

CFO's comment on the development of EPRA NIY and EPRA "TOPPED-UP" NIY:

EPRA initial yields decreased mainly due to increased property operating expenses assumption in the valuations relating to general expense increases and higher repair cost estimates. However, EPRA NIY and EPRA "topped up" NIY for 2011 and 2010 are not fully comparable due to changes in the completed property portfolio (such as property acquisitions, disposals and started and completed (re)development projects).

4) EPRA VACANCY RATE (%)

EPRA vacancy rate (%) presents how much out of the full potential rental income is not received because of vacancy. Technical vacancy, which Citycon also discloses, presents how many square meters out of total GLA is vacant.

EPRA vacancy rate is calculated by dividing the estimated rental value of vacant premises by the estimated rental value of the whole portfolio if all premises were fully let. EPRA vacancy rate is calculated using the same principles as economic occupancy rate, which Citycon also discloses.

EUR million 2011 2010
Annualised potential rental value of vacant premises 9.8 9.6
./. Annualised potential rental value for the whole portfolio 219.4 196.5
EPRA vacancy rate (%) 4.5 4.9

CFO's comment on the development of EPRA vacancy rate: EPRA vacancy rate improved mainly due to decreased vacancy in the shopping centre -portfolio.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIC COMPANY DATA

As a real estate investment company specialising in retail properties, Citycon operates largely in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and Finland's major regional centres as well as in Sweden and the Baltic Countries. Citycon is a Finnish, public limited liability company established under Finnish law and domiciled in Helsinki, the address of its registered office being Pohjoisesplanadi 35 AB, FI-00100 Helsinki. The Board of Directors has approved the financial statements on 7 February 2012. In accordance with Finnish Company Law, annual general meeting has the right to not approve the financial statements approved by the Board of Directors and return the financial statements back to the Board of Directors for a correction.

A copy of Citycon's Consolidated Financial Statements is available on the corporate website at www.citycon.fi and from the Group's headquarters at the address Pohjoisesplanadi 35 AB, FI-00100 Helsinki, Finland.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Citycon has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and applied the IFRS/IAS standards, effective as of 31 December 2011, which refer to the approved applicable standards and their interpretations under European Union Regulation No. 1606/2002. Notes to the consolidated financial statements are also in compliance with Finnish accounting legislation and Community legislation.

Citycon has used IFRS as the primary basis of its financial statements preparation from the beginning of 2005. Available-for-sale financial assets, derivative contracts and investment properties, are measured at fair value following their initial recognition. In other respects, the consolidated financial statements are prepared at historical cost. The financial statements are shown in millions of euros and rounded in thousands of euros.

Preparing the financial statements under IFRS requires that the company's management make certain accounting estimates and assumptions, which have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, as well as notes to the accounts. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors deemed reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of management judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised for the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the current and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The chapter 5 Key estimates and assumptions, and accounting policies requiring judgment provides a more detailed description of the factors underlying judgements and assumptions.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1 Group accounting

The consolidated financial statements include Citycon Oyj and its subsidiaries, as well as holdings in its associated and jointventure companies.

4.1.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries refer to companies in which the Group holds a controlling interest. This controlling interest implies that the Group has the power to govern the entity's financial and operating policies for the purpose of profiting from its operations. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group, until the date on which said control ceases.

Intra-Group transactions and profit allocation are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

When an acquisition is made, the judgment is needed whether the acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition or either as a business acquisition (see Chapter 5.2.2 Business acquisitions and asset acquisitions for judgment principles). An asset acquisition does not generate goodwill, but the entire acquisition cost is allocated to land, buildings and other assets and liabilities.

If business acquisition is made, IFRS 3 Business Combinations will apply, whereby the acquisition cost is allocated to the acquired assets. liabilities and contingent liabilities at their fair value. Goodwill arises when the given consideration exceeds the fair value of the acquired net assets .

4.1.2 Jointly controlled assets

Mutual real estate companies in Finland, in which the ownership of Citycon is less than 100%, are treated as jointly controlled assets in accordance with IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. Jointly controlled assets are included in the consolidated financial statements using proportionate consolidation, whereby the Group's share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are included in the consolidated financial statements line-by-line. The proportionate consolidation method applies to all joint ventures of this kind, regardless of the Group's holding in the joint venture.

Citycon has no associated companies as referred to in IFRS, since all mutual real estate companies, also those in which the ownership is less than 50%, are treated as jointly controlled assets, as described above.

4.1.3 Jointly controlled entities

Citycon has in interest in joint venture, which is treated as a jointly controlled entity based on IAS 31 Interest in Joint Ventures. In jointly controlled entity, venturers have a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control over the economic activities of the entity. Citycon recognises its interest in jointly controlled entity with equity method. The Group presents the aggregate share of profit or loss from the jointly controlled entity on the face of its income statement in line "Share of profit of jointly controlled entities". In the Note 18 "Investments in jointly controlled entities" the assets and liabilities of jointly controlled entities are presented.

4.2 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are measured at the exchange rate quoted on the transaction date. Any exchange rate differences resulting from currency translation are entered under financial expenses and income in the income statement.

Monetary receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are measured at the exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and measured at fair value are translated into euros using the exchange rates quoted on the valuation date, while other non-monetary items are measured at the exchange rate quoted on the transaction date.

Foreign subsidiaries' income statements have been translated into euros using average exchange rates quoted for the financial period and balance sheets using the exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. Any resulting exchange rate difference is recognised as a translation difference under shareholders' equity. Translation differences resulting from the elimination of the historical cost of foreign subsidiaries and from items included in shareholders' equity following their acquisition, are recognised under shareholders' equity.

4.3 Investment property

Investment property refers to land or a building, or part of a building, held to earn rental income or capital appreciation, or both. Under IAS 40, investment property is measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair values being included in the income statement.

The investment properties are measured initially at cost, in-

cluding transaction costs such as consultant fees and transfer taxes. After their initial measurement investment properties are subject to a fair value model valuation, which is conducted by an external appraiser for the first time at the end of the quarter following the acquisition.

Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arms' length transaction. An investment property's fair value reflects the actual market position and circumstances on the balancesheet date, best manifested in prices paid for properties on the active market on the review date, and the location and condition of these properties corresponding to those of the property under review while applying similar lease or other contracts.

Using International Valuation Standards (IVS), an external professional appraiser conducts the valuation of the company's property at least once a year, or at more regular intervals due to any major changes in the market. During 2011 and 2010, Citycon had its properties valued by an external appraiser on a quarterly basis.

A ten-year cash flow analysis based on the net rental income is used to determine the fair value of investment properties. The basic cash flow is determined by the company's lease agreements valid at the valuation date. Upon the lease's expiry, the market rent assessed by an external appraiser is used to replace the contract rent. Gross rental income less operating expenses and investments equals cash flow, which is then discounted at the property-specific yield requirements. Yield requirements are determined for each property in view of property-specific and market risks. The total value of the property portfolio is calculated as the sum of the individual properties based on the cash- flow method.

Citycon redevelops its investment properties. When Citycon begins to redevelop its existing investment property, the property remains as an investment property, which is measured based on a fair value model in accordance with IAS 40.

The fair value of (re)development projects i.e. investment properties under construction (IPUC) is determined under IAS 40 and Citycon uses a normal cash flow analysis or a special project model to measure the fair value of its (re)development projects, depending on the nature of the project. Both models take account of capital expenditure on the (re)development project and the property's future cash flows according to the (re)development project's schedule. Citycon takes into account the (re)development projects in its fair value evaluation, as soon as the Board of Directors has made a positive investment decision on the project and the external appraiser considers that sufficient information is available for a reliable valuation. In the fair value evaluation on 31 December 2011, Citycon valued 5 properties (7 properties on 31 December 2010) as (re)development projects.

All potential development projects have been left out of the valuation conducted by the external appraiser. The valuation of properties with potential development projects is based on the situation and the estimated rental value on the valuation date. All undeveloped lots, or those under development, are evaluated based on their zoning on the valuation date. The value in each case was set based on market observations.

The fair value of Citycon's investment properties in the balance sheet equals the property portfolio's total value determined by the external appraiser, capital expenditure on development projects that have not been taken into account by the external appraiser, as well as the value of new properties acquired during the reporting quarter.

Gains and losses resulting from fair-value changes for investment properties are stated as separate items in the income statement.

4.4 Investment properties held for sale

An investment property is derecognised from the statement of financial position on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. As a main rule, investment properties not under construction or development for the purpose of a sale are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40 and presented under 'Investment properties' in the statement of financial position. However, if the sale of an operative investment property is deemed probable, such a property is transferred to 'Investment properties held for sale' in the statement of financial position. A sale is deemed highly probable when

  • • the Board is committed to a plan to sell the property and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated,
  • • the property is actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
  • • the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year.

However, investment properties held for sale are still recognised at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. Investment properties held for sale totalled EUR 12.7 million on 31 December 2011 (EUR 1.5 million on 31 December 2010).

4.5 Inventory properties

Under IAS 40, a property must be reclassified under inventories in the event of a change in the use of the property, evidenced by development starting with a view to a sale. If an investment property is being built/developed with a view to a sale, it will be treated in accordance with IAS 2 Inventories: it is recognised either at cost or below at net realisable value. If the property was acquired with a view to a sale, it will also be treated in accordance with IAS 2 Inventories. When a property is treated in accordance with IAS 2 Inventories, the property's value is presented under 'Inventory properties' in the statement of financial position. Citycon had no inventory properties on 31 December 2011 or 31 December 2010.

4.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are measured at historical cost less straight-line depreciation and any impairment losses. These assets consist mainly of office machinery and equipment and other tangible assets such as artworks. Machines and equipment leased under finance leases are also recognised within property, plant and equipment.

PPEs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's expected useful economic life. The asset's useful economic life and estimated residual values are reviewed on an annual basis. If any major differences occur between the values, the depreciation plan is revised to correspond to these new values. The following depreciation periods apply:

  • • Machinery and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years.
  • • OtherPPEs are depreciated on a straight-line basis overthree to ten years.
  • • This also applies to tangible assets leased under finance lease. Such an asset is depreciated over its useful economic life or within the shorter lease term.

Capital gains or losses on the sale of PPEs are recognised in the income statement.

4.7 Intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognised in the balance sheet, provided its historical cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that its expected economic benefits will flow to the company.

Intangible assets are measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment losses.

These assets include mainly computer software. They are amortised over their useful life on a straight-line basis over five years.

4.8 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

On each balance-sheet date, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are assessed to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any indication of an impaired asset exists, the asset's recoverable amount must be calculated. Should the asset's carrying amount exceed its recoverable amount, it is impaired, and the resulting impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

4.9 Financial assets and liabilities

4.9.1 Recognition and measurement

As required by IAS 39, financial assets are classified into the following categories for measurement purposes:

  1. loans and other receivables not held for trading,

  2. available-for-sale financial assets and

  3. financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The classification of a financial asset is determined by the purpose for which the asset is purchased at the time of its purchase.

Loans and other receivables not held for trading include financial assets which the company has created by providing money, goods or services directly to the debtor. Initially recognised at cost, these assets under current and non-current assets are carried at amortised cost. Their balance sheet value is impaired by the amount of any credit loss. In the company's consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, loans and other receivables include the items "Other non-current assets", 'Trade and other receivables' and 'Cash and cash equivalents'.

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative assets carried at fair value. Changes in their fair value are recognised in the fair value reserve under shareholders' equity and in the income statement when the asset is disposed of or it has lost its value to the extent that an impairment loss must be recognised for the asset. Available-for-sale financial assets are intended to be held for an indefinite period and can be sold at a time deemed appropriate. On 31 December 2011 or 31 December 2010, Citycon had no available-for-sale financial assets.

Citycon concludes derivative contracts for hedging purposes only. Derivative contracts not fulfilling the criteria set for hedge accounting, or for which Citycon has decided not to apply hedge accounting, are classified as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. On 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, Citycon didn't have any derivative contracts classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as

    1. financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or
    1. financial liabilities at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Afterwards, financial liabilities excluding derivative debt are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. In the company's consolidated statement of financial position, on 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, financial liabilities at amortised cost include the items 'Loans', 'Other liabilities' and 'Trade payables and other payables'. On 31 December 2011 Citycon didn't have any derivative contracts classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss on 31 December 2011 and on 31 December 2010.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet on the basis of the settlement date.

4.9.2 Derivative contracts and hedge accounting

Derivatives are initially measured at cost (if available) and remeasured at fair value on each balance sheet date.

Citycon uses interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate cash flow risk. These interest rate swaps hedge against volatility in future interest payment cash flows (cash flow hedging) resulting from interest rate fluctuations, and the resulting profit fluctuations. Citycon applies hedge accounting to the majority of its interest rate swaps, under IAS 39, according to which the amount of financial instruments' fair value change stemming from effective hedging is recognised under other comprehensive income, whereas the amount stemming from ineffective hedging is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under financial income and expenses. The amount in the fair value reserve is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income during the period when the cash flow from the hedged item is realised and affects earnings. If the criteria for hedge accounting are not met, changes in fair value are recognised in full through profit or loss.

Interest payments based on interest rate swaps are included in interest expenses. Changes in "fair value through profit or loss" are recognised as financial expenses or income, as hedge accounting is not applied. The fair value of interest rate swaps is shown in current or non-current receivables or short-term or long-term liabilities in the statement of financial position. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.

The company uses foreign exchange derivatives to hedge against exchange rate risk relating to financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Fair value changes related to foreign exchange derivatives are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, since fair value changes related to financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are also recognised therein.

4.9.3 Embedded derivatives

Under IAS 39, an embedded derivative – a derivative instrument included in another contract, or a host contract, whose financial characteristics are not closely related to those of its host contract – must be separated from the host contract under certain circumstances, accounted for at fair value and changes in its fair value must be recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The Group has no embedded derivatives.

4.9.4 Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is impaired if its carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset measured at amortised cost is impaired, the resulting impairment loss must be recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. If the amount of impairment loss decreases during a subsequent financial period and this fall can be regarded as relating to an event after the date of impairment recognition, the asset's impairment will be reversed.

4.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits withdrawable on call, and other short-term, highly liquid investments. A maximum maturity of three months from the date of acquisition applies to cash and cash equivalents.

4.11 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The company has a single series of shares, with each share entitling to one vote at general meetings of shareholders. The shares have no nominal value, and there is no maximum amount to share capital.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any group company purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.

4.12 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Citycon has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of this obligation can be made.

Long-term provisions shown in the financial statements are based on net present values.

4.13 Income recognition

4.13.1 Rental income

Leases based on Citycon as a lessor renting out investment properties are classified under operating leases, since Citycon retains a significant share of risks and rewards of ownership. Rental income from operating leases is spread evenly over the lease term.

Citycon also has leases including rent-free periods or rental discounts and which have been agreed in the original lease. Such lease incentives are treated according to SIC Interpretation 15 Operating Leases – Incentives and are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, although rent payments are not received on the same basis. Citycon has also allowed rental discounts which have not been agreed in the original lease. In such cases, the leaseholder has requested a rental discount due to the market situation or the property's (re)development project. Such temporary rental discounts are recognised in the income statement during the period for which rent reductions have been granted.

On behalf of the lessee, Citycon may perform alteration work on premises rented by the lessee and charge the lessee for the resulting costs, in the form of a rent increase. The Group recognises the alteration-related rent increase as rental income over the lease term. Rent increase and the expense arising from the alteration work are taken into account when measuring the fair value of investment property.

4.13.2 Service charges

Service charges are recognized in the period in which the expense it relates to is expensed. Service charges are included gross of the related costs in turnover as Citycon considers to act as principal in this respect.

Deeming itself the principal is based on the fact that Citycon selects the maintenance service providers for its properties, concludes agreements with property maintenance suppliers and bears the credit risk associated with maintenance. In addition, the tenant doesn't have a possibility to select the property maintenance service provider, nor the tenant can impact the service providers' pricing.

Service income, such as marketing income, is recognised for the period during which the services are provided.

4.13.3 Sale of an existing property

A property is deemed as sold when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.

4.13.4 Sale of a property under construction

When property is under (re)development and agreement has been made to sell such property when construction is complete, Citycon considers whether it was agreed to construct a property or to sell a completed property. If agreed to sell the completed property, the property is regarded as sold when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. If agreed to construct a property, the revenue from disposal is recognised using the percentage of completion method as construction progresses, if the risks and rewards of the work in progress are transferred to the buyer as construction progresses.

4.13.5 Interest income

Interest income is recognised according to the time that has elapsed, using the effective interest method.

4.13.6 Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend is established.

4.14 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are usually expensed as incurred. However, borrowing costs, such as interest expenses and arrangement fees, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation commences when the refurbishment of a property, or the construction of a new building or extension, begins and ceases once the building is ready for lease. Capitalisable borrowing costs include costs of funds borrowed for a construction project or costs attributable to a construction project multiplied by the capitalisation rate. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average cost of Citycon's borrowings for the financial year. Borrowing costs arising from the purchase cost of land are also capitalised on the development project, but only when activities necessary to preparing the asset for development are in progress on the purchased land.

Loan-related transaction expenses clearly associated with a specific loan are included in the loan's cost on an accrual basis and recognised as interest expenses, using the effective interest method.

4.15 Taxes

Income taxes include taxes based on the taxable income of Group companies for the financial period, adjustments for previous periods' taxes and changes in deferred taxes. Tax based on taxable income for the period is calculated in accordance with the tax legislation enacted in each country.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying amounts. A major temporary difference arises between the fair value and taxable value of investment properties. In such a case, taxes are calculated on the difference between the property's fair value and the debt-free acquisition cost of shares in the mutual real estate company in question, or the non-depreciated residual value of the directly owned property.

It is the company's policy to realise its shareholding in property companies by selling the shares it holds. For properties owned abroad, such deferred taxes are not recognised because, due to the ownership structure, property disposal does not lead to tax implications.

No deferred tax on subsidiaries' retained earnings is recognised, to the extent that the difference is unlikely to be discharged in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it appears probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

If the recognition of deferred taxes is attributable to an item recognised in shareholders' equity, such as a change in the fair value of a derivative instrument used for hedging purposes, deferred taxes will also be recognised in shareholders' equity.

The tax rate enacted by the balance sheet date is used to determine deferred tax.

4.16 Leases –Citycon as lessor

Leases, for which Citycon acts as a lessee, are classified as finance leases and recognised as assets and liabilities if the risks and rewards related to the property have been passed on to the company. Leases are classified at their inception and recognised at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments, and the fair value of the asset under PPE and financial liabilities. PPE is depreciated over its useful economic life or during the lease term. Lease payments in the income statement are recognised as interest or the repayment of financial liabilities.

Leases are classified as operating leases if substantially all of the risks and rewards inherent in holding such leased assets have not been transferred to the lessee.

4.17 Pensions

The Group's employee pension cover is based on statutory pension insurance. Pension schemes are classified into two categories: defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Where contributions under defined contribution plans are recognised in the income statement for the period during which such contributions are made, defined benefit pension plans are based on actuarial calculations.

Defined benefit schemes' assets are measured at fair value, their obligations at discounted present value and any net surplus or deficit is recognised in the balance sheet. Actuarial gains and losses are charged or credited to equity through other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Service cost is spread systematically over the working life. Professional actuaries perform these calculations using the projected credit method.

4.18 Share-based payments

Citycon has applied IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to its stock options and to the long-term share-based incentive plan. Such stock options and share-based incentive plans are measured at fair value on the grant date and expensed over their vesting period. Stock options granted before the above date have not been expensed.

Citycon uses the Black & Scholes option-pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options.

4.19 Dividend distribution

Dividends to the company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position, for the period during which the Annual General Meeting of shareholders approves the dividends.

5. KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS, AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES REQUIRING JUDGMENT

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Judgment is also required in the application of certain accounting policies. These may affect the reported assets and liabilities, recognition of income and expenses for the period, and other information such as the presentation of contingent liabilities. Although these estimates are based on the best knowledge and current information available, the actual results may differ from the estimates.

5.1 Key estimates and assumptions

Estimates and assumptions bearing a significant risk concerning a material change in the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities are presented in the following.

5.1.1 Fair value of investment properties

Measuring the fair value of investment property is a key accounting policy that involves the management's judgement and assumptions about future uncertainties. Market rents, occupancy rate, operating expenses and yield requirement form the key variables used in the investment property's fair-value measurement. The evaluation of these variables involves the management's judgement and assumptions. On 31 December 2011, the fair value of investment properties totalled EUR 2,522.1 million (EUR 2,367.7 million). An analysis of investment properties' sensitivity to key variables is presented under Note 17. Investment Properties.

Citycon uses a net rental income based cash flow analysis to measure the fair value of its investment properties. Net rental income and the yield requirement of each property must be defined for the cash flow analysis. Net rental income equals gross rental income less operating expenses. The yield requirement is used for discounting the yearly net rental income less investments, to which the discounted residual value and other assets, such as unused building rights and lots, are added to obtain the fair value of investment property. The key parameters of the cash flow analysis are the following items:

  • • Marketrents, which affectrental income in the cashflow analysis, are determined by market supply and demand. The external appraiser defines the market rents for each property.
  • • The occupancy rate stands forthat part ofthe leasable space (Gross Leasable Area, GLA) that is leased. The occupancy rate is determined by the lease agreements valid on the valuation date. Upon a lease expiry, measuring the occupancy rate involves the management's assumptions. The occupancy rate affects the yearly rental income.
  • • Operating expenses comprise costs resulting from the property's management, maintenance, heating, electricity, water supply etc. Operating expenses are determined based on the

previous year's operating expenses and the benchmark data collected by the external appraiser.

• The yield requirement comprises risk-free interest as well as property-specific and market risk. The property-specific risk is defined by Citycon and this definition involves the management's judgement and assumptions. Market risks are defined by an external appraiser. Yield requirement added by inflation assumption is used as the discount rate in the cash flow analysis. When the yield requirement decreases, the fair value of investment properties increases.

Other variables involving estimates and assumptions are the current leases' extension probability, the duration of vacant areas, investments, the inflation rate and rental growth assumptions.

Citycon uses a normal cash-flow analysis or a special project model to measure the fair value of its (re)development projects depending on the nature of the project. Although the project model applies principles similar to those used in the cash flow analysis measuring the investment property's fair value, it is better suited to modelling changes, in many cases significant ones, in premises and contracts during the development project. Based on the project model, the property can be divided into different parts and the current leases, future leases, project schedules and capital expenditure can be defined for each of these parts, which may comprise the various floors, areas or a larger space within the building. In addition, risks associated with the development project and the property's future use can be defined for the yield requirement for development projects. Following this, each part is subject to the cash flow analysis and the parts' combined cash flow constitutes the development project's fair value.

When evaluating the fair value of (re)development projects, either with a normal cash flow analysis or with the use of a special project model, the judgement or assumptions about future investments, rental agreements and the project's timetable must be made.

5.1.2 Taxes

Citycon is subject to income taxation in several countries. The complexity of tax legislation, as well as constant changes in it and in the operating environment, require Citycon to use estimates and assumptions when preparing its tax calculations. Future taxable income is uncertain, and the final amount of taxes may deviate from the originally recorded amount. If final tax deviates from originally recorded amounts, such differences may affect the period's taxable profit, tax receivables or liabilities as well as deferred tax assets or liabilities. Citycon's current taxes in 2011 amounted to EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.6 million in 2010).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.

The major temporary difference arises between the fair value and taxable value of investment properties. Under the policy adopted by Citycon, deferred tax describes the tax payable on potential gains on sale in the case of a property being sold. This means that Citycon needs to estimate the future realisation of its property sales. In the main, Citycon realises its properties' sales by selling shares representing ownership in the property and by reporting deferred tax according to this rule. Deferred tax liability recognised from the difference between the fair value and taxable value of investment properties was EUR 57.5 million on 31 December 2011 (EUR 59.7 million on 31 December 2010).

Other main temporary differences relate to unused tax losses and financial instruments. When tax receivables are recognised for tax losses that have been confirmed in taxation, the company must evaluate whether it is probable that such tax losses can be used against a taxable profit arising in the future. Deferred tax asset from tax losses amounted to EUR 1.1 million million on 31 December 2011 (EUR 1.3 million on 31 December 2010).

No deferred tax is recognised on subsidiaries' retained earnings, to the extent that it is considered unlikely that such a difference will be discharged in the future. On 31 December 2011, Citycon had confirmed losses for which tax assets of EUR 19.4 million (EUR 16.6 million in 2010) were not recognised.

Deferred taxes are calculated on the balance sheet day using valid tax rates.

5.2 Accounting policies requiring judgment

Citycon must use judgement when appling the following accounting policies.

5.2.1 Classification of properties

Citycon uses judgment when classifying its properties into investment properties, inventory properties or investment properties held for sale, according to the following policies:

  • • Propertieswhich are neither held for sale nor used inCitycon's administration or other operations but, rather, held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, are classified as investment properties. Citycon had investment properties EUR 2,522.1 million on 31 December 2011 (EUR 2,367.7 million on 31 December 2010.
  • • Properties in which a redevelopment is initiated for the purpose of a sale, or which are being built/developed with a view to a sale, are classified as inventory properties. Citycon had no inventory properties on 31 December 2011 or 31 December 2010.
  • • Properties which are held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, but whose sale is deemed probable, are classified as investment properties held for sale. Citycon had investment properties held for sale EUR 12.7 million on 31 December 2011 (EUR 1.5 million on 31 December 2010).

5.2.2 Business acquisitions and asset acquisitions

Citycon purchases investment properties through asset acquisitions and business acquisitions. It applies IAS 40 Investment Property to the accounting treatment of asset acquisitions and IFRS 3 Business Combinations to the accounting treatment of business acquisitions. Citycon exercises judgement in assessing whether the purchase of an investment property or an investment property portfolio is classified as an asset acquisition or business acquisition. Acquisitions are treated as business acquisitions when significant set of activities is acquired in addition to the property. The significance of activities is assessed in accordance with the definition of ancillary services (e.g. maintenance, cleaning, security, book-keeping, etc.) of IAS 40. Citycon didn't have any business acquisitions in 2011 and 2010.

5.2.3 Sale of investment properties and sale of business

When investment properties are sold, Citycon exercises judgement in estimating whether the sale is classified as a real estate sale or sale of a business. For Citycon, characteristics of a sale of a business include, for example, the sale of a major line of business or geographical area of operations that also involves the transfer of staff and/or management essential to the business.

In the case of real estate sale, IAS 40 Investment Property or IAS 2 Inventory based accounting treatment is applied. Policies concerning the sale of individual investment properties or properties are described in 4.4 Investment properties held for sale and 4.5 Inventory properties.

In the case of sale of a business, IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations based accounting treatment is applied. Businesses i.e. disposal groups such as segments or property portfolios are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered, principally through a sale transaction, and a sale is considered highly probable. A sale is considered highly probable based on the policies presented under 4.4 Investment properties held for sale. Profit for the period from the business held for sale must be stated as a separate item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, while the business held for sale must be presented in the statement of financial position, separately from other assets. In addition, liabilities under the the business held for sale must be presented in the statement of financial position, separately from other liabilities. Citycon had no businesses held for sale on 31 December 2011 or 31 December 2010.

B) General description of Citycon's lease agreements In accordance with the table presented below, Citycon had 3,955 lease agreements on 31 December 2011 (3,765 agreements on 31 December 2010). The increase in number of lease agreements were due to acquisitions of shopping centre properties in the Baltic Countries and Sweden, opening of redevelopment projects and offset by divestments of shopping centre and supermarket properties in Finland and residential units in Sweden. In the majority, i.e. in 89 per cent (89% on 31 Dec. 2010) of Citycon's leases the rent is divided into base rent, tied to the cost-of-living index, and the maintenance charge. The maintenance charge, charged separately from the lessee, covers operating expenses incurred by the property owner due to property maintenance, while enabling the provision of any additional services requested by the lessee.

Part of Citycon's lease agreements also contain a turnoverlinked component in addition to a cost-of-living -indexation. Turnover based rent agreements accounted for roughly 49 per cent (43 per cent at 31.12.2010) of Citycon's lease portfolio at 31.12.2011. In Note 6. A) Breakdown of gross rental income, the additional rent received from turnover based rental agreements is presented.

Thus, Citycon's leases are chiefly leases with contingent rent payments in accordance with IAS 17.4, because the entire portfolio is tied to the cost-of-living index, a predetermined minimum rent increase and/or the lessee's turnover.

Number of lease agreements 31 Dec. 2011 31 Dec. 2010
Finland 1,699 1,672
Sweden 1,818 1,784
Baltic Countries 438 309
Total 3,955 3,765

In accordance with the table presented below, the average remaining length of Citycon's lease portfolio was 3.4 years on 31 December 2011 (3.2 years on 31 December 2010). Citycon mainly seeks to prepare fixed-term contracts. As a main rule, new leases are signed for a fixed period in all countries. Alongside storage facilities and individual parking spaces, apartments form the main exception to this. Fixed-term agreements represented about 78 per cent of Citycon's property portfolio on 31 December 2010 (75 percent on 31 December 2010) and initially fixed-term contracts 10 per cent on 31 December 2011 (11 per cent on 31 December 2010). The rest of the agreements are leases in effect until further notice (12 percent out of all leases on 31 December 2011 and 14 percent on 31 December 2010).

A new lease's duration depends on the type of premises to be leased and the tenant. With an anchor tenant, the company typically concludes long-term leases of 10 or even 20 years. Leases for smaller retail premises, however, are chiefly negotiated for a term of 3–5 years.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The presentation of segment information is based on the Group's geographical business units. In turn, these units are based on the Group's organisational structure and internal financial reporting. Furthermore, the Group's profit is reported to the Board of Directors, which is the chief operating decision maker, by the geographical business units. Citycon's management and Board of Directors assess the business units' performance on the basis of net rental income and EPRA operating profit. Fair value changes are also reported to Citycon's management and Board of Directors, by business unit. In addition to geographical business units, Citycon's management and Board of Directors monitor property-specific net rental income.

Segment assets and liabilities consist of operating items which the segment uses in its operations or which can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items include tax and financial items, as well as corporate items. No internal sales take place between segments.

Capital expenditure includes additions to the investment properties, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the statement of financial position.

Citycon's turnover mainly consists of rental income. Rental income arises mainly from retail premises from two different property types: shopping centres, and supermarkets and shops. Citycon presents its gross rental income broken down by property type.

Principal customers include the five biggest tenants, one of whose share of gross rental income exceeds 10 per cent. The proportion of gross rental income and the segment is specified for each of these tenants. The proportion of gross rental income is based on the rent roll at 31 Dec. 2011 and at 31 Dec. 2010.

A) Segment information

The geographical segments are Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries. The segment Other mainly includes the administrative expenses arising from the Group's headquarter.

Citycon used to have a defined benefit pension plan related to the pension plan of the previous CEO Petri Olkinuora. As Petri Olkinuora left the company, Citycon settled its obligations related to Olkinuora's pension plan during 2010. Therefore, there were no defined benefit pension liability recognized in the statement of financial position on 31 December 2011 and 2010. The defined benefit pension income of EUR 0.1 million in 2011 arose from from the difference between the accrued settlement in 2010 and the final actuarial calculations.

1) The potential new shares from the conversion of convertible capital loan and the expenses from convertible loan (less the tax effect) are not included in calculating 2011 diluted per-share figures, because the earnings per share basic would be less than diluted earnings per share. Adjustments for long-term share-based incentive plan and stock options are taken into account when calculating the diluted earnings per share.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The Group currently has three categories of dilutive shares in place: convertible capital loan, stock options and long-term share-based incentive plan.

  • The holder of the convertible loan has the right, during 12 September 2006 - 27 July 2013, to convert the loan nominal amount into company shares. Based on the conversion price applicable on the balance sheet date, the dilution from full conversion of the loan nominal is approximately 17.0 million shares. When calculating the dilution effect, the loss/profit for the period is adjusted by the expenses arising from the convertible loan (including the tax effect).
  • Stock options have dilutive potential when the subscription price of shares based on the stock options is lower than the share's fair value. The dilutive potential of stock options is calculated by taking account of the total number of shares that can be subscribed based on stock options, less the number of shares the group could acquire using assets derived from exercising stock options.
  • The share-based incentive scheme has a dilutive effect when the earning period has ended, the performance conditions for the bonus have been fulfilled, and the shares have not yet been granted. In calculating the diluting effect of the share-based incentive scheme, the remaining work covered by the scheme is assigned a per-share value, which is compared to the fair value of a share. When the value of the remaining work performance is lower than the fair value of a share, the share-based incentive

scheme has a dilutive effect. In calculating the dilutive effect of the share-based incentive scheme, the number of shares the company would have received had it used assets to the value of the remaining work performance, to acquire treasury shares at fair value, is considered a deductive factor in the full number of shares granted.

17. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Citycon divides its investment properties into two categories: Investment Properties Under Construction (IPUC) and Operative Investment Properties. At 31 December 2011, the first mentioned category included Iso Omena, Koskikeskus and Myllypuro in Finland as well as Åkermyntan Centrum in Sweden and Magistral in Estonia. At 31 December 2010, the first mentioned category included Espoontori, Kirkkonummen Liikekeskus, Lahden Hansa (Trio), Myllypuro, Martinlaakso and Myyrmanni in Finland as well as Åkersberga Centrum in Sweden. IPUC-category includes the fair value of the whole property even though only part of the property may be under construction.

Contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment properties are presented in Note 32. B) Pledges and other contingent liabilities.

Under the IAS 40 Investment Property -standard, Citycon measures its investment properties at fair value. An external professional appraiser has conducted the valuation of the company's properties using a net rental income based cash flow analysis. Market rents, occupancy rate, operating expenses and yield requirement form the key variables used in the cash flow analysis.

A global property valuation expert Jones Lang LaSalle conducted the valuation of Citycon's properties for the financial statements 2011. Realia Management conducted the property valuation for the year 2010 and for the first three quarters of 2011. The resulting fixed fees based on the 2011 valuations total EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.1 million in 2010).

The fair value of Citycon's investment properties in the balance sheet equals the property portfolio's total value determined by the external appraiser, capital expenditure on development projects not taken into account by the external appraiser, transfer into investment properties held for sale as well as the value of new properties acquired during the reporting quarter. The reconciliation between the fair value determined by the external appraiser and the fair value of investment properties in Citycon's balance sheet, is as follows.

1) The properties held for sale (EUR 12.7 million) were not included within the fair value determined by the external appraiser on 31 December 2011.

The segments' assumptions used by the external appraisers in the cash flow analysis on 31 December 2011 and on 31 December 2010 are presented the table below. The average yield requirements decreased in all countries e.g. due to property acquisitions and disposals. In Sweden the average yield requirement decreased also due to increased demand for prime properties in the property markets. The average yield requirement for the total property portfolio remained, however, unchanged at 6.4% as proportion of the Baltic portfolio increased due to acquisition of Kristiine Shopping Centre. Market rents increased slightly from 23.6 EUR/sq.m. on 31 December 2010 to 23.8 EUR/sq.m. on 31 December 2011. The vacancy assumption for the cash flow period increased by 30bps from 4.4% on 31 December 2010 to 4.7% on 31 December 2011.

Sensitivity analysis

A number of factors contribute to the value of retail properties, such as national and local economic development, investment demand created by property investors, and interest rates. While changes in investment properties' fair value have an effect on the company's profit for the financial year, they do not have an immediate impact on cash flow. The yield requirement, rents, the occupancy rate and operating expenses form the key variables used in an investment property's fair-value measurement, based on a ten-year cash-flow analysis. Sensitivity to change in the properties' fair value, or the risk associated with fair value, can be tested by altering the above key parameters. The sensitivity analysis below uses the investment properties' fair value of EUR 2,515.0 million defined by the external appraiser at 31 December 2011 as the starting value. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the market value is most sensitive to the market rents and yield requirement. A ten percent decrease in the yield requirement results in an approximately 11 percent increase in market value. Correspondingly, a ten percent increase in gross income increases the value by approximately 14 percent. The market value reacts to change in vacancy and operating expenses, but their relative effect is not as great as changes to rental income and yield requirement.

Citycon's deferred taxes mainly arise from changes in the fair value of investment properties. In 2011, deferred taxes resulting from the changes in the investment properties' fair value recognised in the income statement totalled EUR 2.2 million (EUR -11.0 million). The fair value of an investment property reflects the market price that would be paid for the property on the date of measurement, while deferred taxes refer to taxes imposed on any gain on sale if the property were to be sold.

Citycon's policy is to realise its properties' sales by selling its shares representing ownership in the property. The ownership structure is mainly organised so that one real estate company owns one building. The sale of shares representing ownership in properties owned by subsidiaries abroad does not have tax implications. Consequently, Citycon does not recognise deferred taxes related to the fair value of investment properties owned abroad. If Citycon did recognise such deferred taxes, the tax impact would have been EUR -4.9 million in 2011 (EUR -12.0 million) (See the Note 15. Income taxes).

On the contrary, divesting a property in Finland through an asset or share sale does have tax implications, due to which, Citycon recognises deferred taxes arising from the fair value changes of its investment properties located in Finland. The taxation of limited companies in Finland decreases from earlier 26% to 24.5% in 2012. The deferred taxes have been calculated based on the 2012 rate. Deferred taxes are calculated on the difference between an investment property's fair value and its taxable value. The taxable value consists of the acquisition cost of shares in the mutual real estate company and loans receivable from the company or a directly owned property's undepreciated, residual value.

The change in deferred taxes between the opening and closing balance sheets is recognised in the income statement as expense/income.

The fair value of investment properties is measured in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). The provisions of Finnish accounting and tax legislation affect the value of shares in, and loans receivable from, the mutual real estate company. For instance, investments conducted by the mutual real estate company or depreciation recorded by subsidiaries with outstanding debt entail a change in the value of shares and loans receivable.

On 31 December 2011, Group companies had confirmed losses for which tax assets of EUR 19.4 million (EUR 16.6 million in 2010) were not recognised, since these Group companies are unlikely to record a taxable profit, before the expiration of carry forwards of these losses, against which loss carry forwards can be utilised. Citycon had impairment of EUR 6.6 million (EUR 0.0 million), which was not deducted in taxation on 31 December 2011.

B) The principles for determining the fair values of financial instruments

Citycon applies IFRS valuation principles when determining the fair value of financial instruments. The following presents the principles for determining the fair values of all financial assets and liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents, investments,

trade and other receivables, trade payables and other payables

Due to their short maturity, the fair value of trade payables and receivables and other short-term receivables and payables is regarded as corresponding to their original carrying amount.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at cost in the statement of financial position and subsequently re-measured at their fair value on each balance-sheet date. The fair value of interest-rate swaps is calculated using the present value of estimated future cash flows. The fair value of a forward agreement is based on the difference between the exchange rate of the agreement and the prevailing exchange rate fixing on each balance-sheet date. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to settle the related agreements.

Fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments is determined by the counterparty banks based on customary valuation techniques used by market participants in the OTC derivative market. The fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments corresponds to level 2 according to IFR-S7p27a. The fair value of foreign exchange derivative contracts is based on quoted market prices.

Loans from financial institutions

Citycon's loans from financial institutions are floating rate loans which have fair value equal to the nominal amount of the loan. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount is the unamortised capitalised arrangement fees of the loans.

Convertible capital loan 1/2006

Convertible capital loan 1/2006 is a fixed rate loan which has a fair value equal to the nominal amount of the loan. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount is the unamortised capitalised arrangement fees of the loan, together with the market value of the option component on the issue date.

Bond 1/2009

Bond1/2009 is a fixed rate loan which has a fair value equal to the nominal amount of the loan. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount is the unamortised capitalised arrangement fees for the loan.

Finance lease liabilities

The fair value of finance leases is based on discounted future cash flows. The discount rate used corresponds to that applied to similar leases.

Interest on floating-rate loans is mainly fixed every three or six months. Interest-rate swaps have been concluded for the same days, to ensure the optimum interest cash flow hedging.

Citycon uses interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate cash flow risk. The Group applies hedge accounting to all of its interest rate swaps valid as at 31 December 2011, under IAS 39, according to which the amount of financial instruments' fair value change stemming from effective hedging is recognised under other comprehensive income.

The fair value of a derivative financial instrument represents the market value of the instrument at the prices prevailing on the balance sheet date. Derivative financial instruments are used in hedging the interest rate risk of the interest bearing liabilities and foreign currency risk.

The fair values include a foreign exchange gain of EUR 0.3 million (loss of EUR 1.5 million), which is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Hedge accounting is applied to interest rate swaps, which have a nominal amount of EUR 1005.4 million (EUR 869.8 million).

The average fixed interest rate of the interest rate swaps as at 31 December 2011 was 3.16 per cent (3.48 %).

Citycon's cash flow hedges consist of interest rate and cross-currency swaps which are used to protect against exposure to changes in Citycon's interest expense cash outflow for variable rate interest bearing debt. Hedged instruments consist of long term floating rate debt and short term floating rate debt, which is expected to be refinanced upon maturity on similar terms.

The critical terms of the interest rate derivatives have been negotiated to match the respective terms of the variable rate loans.

The cash flow from all hedged liabilities over time is the basis for determining the gain and loss on the effective portions of derivatives designed as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses are initially recognised under other comprehensive income and are transferred to the statement of comprehensive income when the forecast cash flows affect the statement of comprehensive income.

At 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2010, interest rate derivatives assigned as cash flow hedges were assessed as highly effective. The fair values (net of taxes) of these derivatives were EUR -41.1 million (EUR -12.3 million) and the change of these fair values (net of taxes) EUR -26.8 million (EUR 3.8 million) is recognised under other comprehensive income, taking the tax effect into account.

24. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE

On 31 December 2011, the Investment Properties Held for Sale comprised two properties Landvetter and Floda located in Sweden. Both transactions are expected to be finalised during the first quarter in 2012. Landvetter will be sold to Torstaden and a gain on sale of EUR 0.2 million is estimated to be recorded from this transaction. Floda will be sold to Floda Torg Fastighets Ab. From this transaction, a gain on sale of EUR 2.5 million is estimated to be recognised. In 2010, the investment properties held for sale included MREC Naantalin Tullikatu 16, which was sold in January 2011.

B) Description of funds and reserves included in the shareholders' equity

Share capital

The company has a single series of shares, each share entitling to one vote at general meetings of shareholders. The shares have no nominal value and the share capital has no maximum value.

Share premium fund

Since the entry into force of the new Finnish Companies Act, no new items are recognised in the share premium fund. The share premium fund accumulated before 2007 due to option schemes and share issues.

Invested unrestricted equity fund

The invested unrestricted equity fund is credited, for instance, with that part of the subscription price of the shares that, according to the Memorandum of Association or the share issue decision, is not to be credited to the share capital. The invested unrestricted equity fund accumulated in 2011 and 2010, due to share issue and sale of treasury shares. In addition, in 2010, subscriptions under option schemes increased the invested unrestricted equity fund.

Fair value reserve

The fair value reserve contains fair value changes of derivative instruments used to hedge cash flows.

Translation reserve

The translation reserve contains translation differences arising from the currency translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial statements.

C) Board proposal for dividends and return from the invested unrestricted equity fund To the Annual General Meeting to be held on 21 March 2012, the Board of Directors of Citycon proposes a dividend of EUR 0.04 per share for the financial year 2011 (EUR 0.04 for the financial year 2010) and an equity return of EUR 0.11 per share from the invested unrestricted equity fund (EUR 0.10 for the financial year 2010). The proposal for dividends and equity return from the invested unrestricted equity fund has not been recognised in the consolidated financial statements on 31 December 2011.

B) Terms and conditions of subordinated capital loans

Convertible capital loan 1/2006

On 2 August 2006, Citycon Oyj issued a seven-year convertible capital loan, 1/2006, of EUR 110 million at a fixed annual nominal interest rate of 4.50 per cent. After the buyback transactions performed during 2008, 2009 and 2010, the outstanding amount was EUR 71.3 million. The loan's conversion price is EUR 4.2000 per share and a full conversion of the loan would result in the issue of 16,964,285 shares. The loan's issue price accounted for 100.00 per cent of the nominal loan amount, and its maturity date is 2 August 2013.

The main terms and conditions of convertible capital loan 1/2006:

  • 1) In the event of company dissolution or bankruptcy, obligations on the issuer arising from the convertible capital loan shall be subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all unsubordinated creditors of Citycon Oyj, but shall rank pari passu with all other obligations which qualify as a capital loan.
  • 2) The loan's principal, including interest accumulated until the repayment date, will be repaid in one instalment on 2 August 2013 if full margin is available for the restricted shareholders' equity and other non-distributable earnings, based on the company's and its Group's latest adopted balance sheet, after the repayment. The accrued interest for the loan was EUR 1.3 million as of 31 December 2011.

3) Fixed annual interest of 4.50% will be paid annually in arrears on the loan's principal until 2 August 2013. In the event, that the loan is not repaid in full on its maturity date of 2 August 2013, interest on the unpaid loan principal after that date is 3-month Euribor plus 5 percentage points. Interest can be paid only if this amount can be allocated to profit distribution based on the company's and its Group's latest adopted balance sheet. In the event, that the interest is not fully paid on any interest payment date, the interest on the unpaid interest amount after the interest payment date is 3-month Euribor plus 5 percentage points.

  • 4) The holder of the loan has the right during 12 September 2006 - 27 July 2013 to convert the loan nominal amount into shares of the company. The conversion price of the loan is EUR 4.20 per share. The conversion price is subject to amendments in certain circumstances as specified in the terms of the loan. Based on the conversion price, the conversion of the whole loan nominal would result in the issue of a maximum of 16,964,285 shares.
  • 5) The company has the right to repay the loan in full on or after 23 August 2010 at its principal amount, if the closing price of the share on each of at least 20 dealing days in any period of 30 consecutive dealing days is 140 per cent of the conversion price in effect on said dealing day.

During 2008, 2009 and 2010, from the open markets, Citycon has repurchased the convertible capital loan for a nominal amount of EUR 38.8 million, with a weighted average purchase price of 58.1%. The amount repurchased by Citycon equals approximately 35.2 per cent of the initial nominal amount of the loans issued. Net financial expenses in the statement of comprehensive income include a one-off gain of EUR 0.1 million for the buybacks of the convertible capital loan in 2010.

D) Risk Management

Objectives

Citycon uses a holistic Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) programme. The objective of risk management is to ensure that Citycon will reach its business targets and to identify key risks which may threaten its ability to meet these targets before they realise.

Citycon's risk management process involves identifying, analysing, measuring, mitigating and controlling business-related risks. The Board of Directors has approved the company's risk management guidelines specifying risk management principles, which are subject to updating in order to take account of changes in business operations. During the ERM process for each business unit, a risk management policy has been prepared which outlines objectives, responsibilities and development plans within the unit.

Part of the ERM process includes identification of existing, and the planning of new, risk mitigation plans in the event that current actions are not deemed sufficient for each risk identified. Successful risk management decreases the likelihood of risk realisation and mitigates the negative effects of realised risk.

Process

Risk management under ERM in Citycon comprises three main elements, namely 1) risk management implemented in the main business processes 2) risk reporting and 3) continuous improvement of risk management.

Citycon has analysed and identified five main business processes during the implementation of ERM. These are property acquisitions, takeover of acquired properties, shopping centre management, property development and planning and control. Each main process has been carefully analysed from a risk management angle. A detailed process description has been prepared for each process determining the target state of the process, after implementation of improvement measures and taking risk management requirements into account. The implementation of these common best practices in daily operations forms an essential part of daily risk management throughout the organisation.

The risk reporting process gathers analytical data on risks and the respective mitigation plans, for reporting to the Board of Directors. During the risk reporting period, each business unit and legal and finance unit independently defines its near term targets, risks threatening these targets and mitigation plans related to the risks. In order to evaluate the importance of each risk, an estimate of the loss associated with the risk is determined together with the probability of risk realisation and the effectiveness of each mitigation plan on the loss and/or probability. An additional feature of risk reporting involves each business unit reporting the potentially realised risks during the previous year, and mitigation plans put into effect during the period. Risk data is inputted into one group-wide risk register, from which business unit risk reports are prepared for the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. In addition, from the risk register a consolidated Citycon Group risk report and analysis is prepared, which aims to recognise group level risk concentrations across business units. Risk reports to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee are prepared in conjunction with budgeting during the autumn and the strategy review during the spring. Risk management and business unit risk reports are additionally discussed four times a year by the Corporate Management Committee.

Citycon aims to continuously evaluate and develop its ERM process and risk management in general. Four times a year, a risk management supervisory group meets, whose tasks include acceptance of the risk reports, annually evaluating the sufficiency of the risk management measures taken in the light of identified risks, monitoring progress in the implementation of the mitigation plans, and annually assessing the adequacy of Citycon's risk management capabilities.

Organisation

Each business unit and the legal and finance units have a dedicated person responsible for the ERM process, who is in charge of reporting the risks and mitigation plans and following up on their implementation. The Group Treasurer prepares the risk report for the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. The membership of the risk management supervisory group includes the CEO, CFO, Head of Legal Affairs, Group Treasurer and business unit directors, or the dedicated risk management person from each business unit.

Financial risk management

Financial risks have been defined as business critical risks for Citycon. Financial risk arises for Citycon in the form of financial instruments, which are mainly used to raise financing for operations. The Group also uses interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives to manage interest rate and currency risks arising from operations and financing sources. The Board of Directors has approved a Treasury Policy which defines the objectives, responsibilities and risk management indicators applicable to interest rate, foreign exchange, counterparty, liquidity and electricity risk management. The execution of financial risk management is performed by the Group Treasurer and Treasury Manager, under the supervision of the CFO. The Group Treasurer reports compliance with the objectives, in conjunction with the interim and annual report, to the Board of Directors and CFO.

Citycon's identified, key financial risks include interest rate risk related to cash flow, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. These risks are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

Citycon's key financial risk is the interest rate risk of its interest bearing liabilities, whereby changes in money market interest rates lead to fluctuations in future interest cash flows on floating rate borrowings. Interest rate risk management aims to reduce or eliminate the adverse effect of interest rate fluctuations on the company's profit and cash flow. The company aims at a loan portfolio with the right balance of fixed and variable rate debts. Under the company's interest rate risk management policy, the target debt portfolio is one in which a minimum of 70 and a maximum of 90 per cent of interest bearing liabilities are based on fixed interest rates.

The company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risks and to convert floating rate loans into fixed rate loans. A portion of the hedges can also be performed using inflation derivatives. The interest sensitivity of Citycon's loan portfolio at the end of 2011 is depicted by the fact that a one-percentage point rise in money market interest rates would increase its interest expenses for 2012 by EUR 2.5 million, while a fall of onepercentage point in such rates would decrease them by EUR 2.5 million in the same year.

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table shows interest expenses' sensitivity to a 100 basis point change in short term interest rates, assuming that all other variables remain constant. The impact is shown as a change in interest expenses resulting from changes in the interest rate related to a floating rate debt.

Liquidity risk

Given that Citycon's strategy is to expand in the Nordic and Baltic countries, the company will need both equity capital and borrowings. Minimum shareholders' equity is determined by the company's loan covenants. The Group uses cash-flow forecasts to continuously assess and monitor financing required for its business. Here, the goal is to arrange financing on a long term basis and avoid any large concentration of due dates for the loan agreements. Citycon aims to guarantee the availability and flexibility of financing, through unused credit limits and by using several banks and financing methods as sources of finance.

Citycon's financing policy states that the company's commited credit limits or liquid assets should cover all approved and on-going investments. In addition, available liquidity should provide a sufficient buffer for unexpected payments, based on the management's assesment of the amount required, and the company will arrange committed back-up limits for all funds drawn under commercial paper programmes. On 31 December 2011, unused credit limits amounted to EUR 253.7 million.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities, based on contractual payments. The table includes both principal and interest flows of loans and payments arising from derivative financial instruments. Future interest payments of floating rate loans have been determined based on the interest rate applicable on the balance sheet date, and are not discounted. Future interest payments for derivative financial instruments are based on discounted net present values and future interest rates are obtained through interpolation based on the yield curve prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Citycon's rent revision procedures, long leases and high occupancy ratio generate a stable long-term cash flow profile. Citycon expects to meet its liabilities shown in the table above from this stable cash flow and undrawn committed credit facilities. In the long term, debt refinancings and disposals of investment properties can be considered. The table below shows the maturity profile of the undrawn committed credit facilities.

The above mentioned credit facilities are freely available to Citycon based on group's financing needs.

Credit risk

The Group's most significant credit-risk concentration relates to receivables from Kesko Group. Citycon controls its receivables within the framework of the given credit limits and has not so far identified any major credit risk associated with them. Credit-risk management caters for tenant-risk management, which is aimed at minimising the adverse effect of unexpected changes in the customers' financial standing on Citycon's business and financial results. Customer-risk management is primarily based on the knowledge of the customers' business and active monitoring of customer data. Citycon's lease agreements include lease deposit provisions used to contribute to managing customers' risks. The maximum exposure from trade receivables is the carrying amount as disclosed in Note 25. Trade and other receivables.

Credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative agreements relate to a default of a counterparty with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Citycon invests its liquidity in a manner which does not put the nominal amount at risk. Citycon does not, for example, invest in equity markets. Citycon's cash and cash equivalents are primarily placed in short term money market deposits, in which the counterparties are commercial banks participating in Citycon's credit agreements. Citycon's financing policy also sets forth the approved financial instruments in which the company can invest, and includes counterparty limits for those investments.

Exchange rate risk

Citycon's entry into countries outside the euro-zone exposes the company to exchange rate risk. Exchange rate risk stems from transaction risks resulting from the conversion of foreign currency denominated transactions into local currency, on the one hand, and from translation risks in the balance sheet associated with investments in foreign subsidiaries. The company hedges against exchange rate risk in the balance sheet by aiming to finance its foreign investments mainly in the local currency. The company uses foreign exchange derivatives to manage the transaction risk on committed transactions. Foreign exchange derivatives may also be used to hedge a possible mismatch between assets and liabilities denominated in the same currency in the balance sheet. Currently, the company's exchange rate risk mainly relates to fluctuations in the euro/ Swedish krona exchange rate.

Foreign exchange sensitivity

The following table shows the sensitivity in the statement of comprehensive income to a five percent change in foreign exchange rates, assuming that all other variables remain constant. Such an impact is attributable to a change in the fair value of financial instruments, given the assumed change in foreign exchange rates.

Other currencies comprise those of Estonia and Lithuania. The foreign exchange rate in these countries is pegged to the euro and Estonia has adopted euro as its functional currency as of 1 January 2011.

E) Capital management

The objective of the company's capital management is to support the growth strategy, maximise shareholder value, comply with loan agreement provisions and ensure the company's ability to pay dividends. Citycon's capital structure is managed in an active manner and capital structure requirements are taken into account when considering various financing alternatives. The company can adjust the capital structure by deciding on the issuance of new shares, raising debt financing or making adjustments to the dividend.

The company's long term equity ratio target is 40 per cent and its current syndicated loan agreements require a minimum equity ratio of 32.5 per cent. The equity ratio of the loan agreements is calculated by making certain adjustments to the equity ratio defined in the Financial Supervisory Authority standard 5.1. Disclosure of periodic information, among other things, adding the convertible capital loan issued by the company to the shareholders' equity. As of 31 December 2011, the company's equity ratio stood at 36.0 per cent and the equity ratio as defined in the loan agreement was around 39.0 per cent.

Citycon monitors its capital structure based on equity ratio and gearing. The formulas for calculating the equity ratio and gearing can be found on page 53 in the consolidated financial statements.

Company monitors its capital structure mainly with equity ratio. Equity ratio:

Total shareholders' equity (B) 961.8 900.2
Gearing-% (A/B) 151.4% 153.1%

Equity ratio decreased in 2011 due to fair value losses on investment properties and lower fair value of interest rate derivatives under hedge accounting, which led to lower equity as a proportion of total assets. Gearing decreased in 2011mainly as a result of a share issue executed in 2011, which led to a improved ratio of equity to net interest-bearing debt.

A) Stock option schemes

Stock option plan 2004

The AGM held on 15 March 2004 decided to issue a maximum of 3,900,000 A/B/C stock options to Citycon Group personnel. This stock option plan expired at the end of March 2011 simultaneously with the expiry of the subscription period with C-options. No shares were subscribed by exercising C-options. The unexercised stock options have been deleted as worthless from their holder's bookentry accounts.

Stock option plan 2011

The Board of Directors of Citycon Oyj decided on 3 May 2011, by virtue of an authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting held on 13 March 2007, to issue stock options to the key personnel of the company and its subsidiaries. The company had a weighty financial reason for the issue of stock options, since the stock options are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment program for the key personnel. The purpose of the stock options is to encourage the key personnel to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder value. The purpose of the stock options is also to commit the key personnel to the company.

The maximum total number of stock options that can be issued is 7,250,000, and they entitle their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 7,250,000 new shares in the company or existing shares held by the company. The stock options will be issued gratuitously. Stock options entitle their holders to subscribe for company shares at the price and within the period specified in the terms and conditions of the stock options. If an employee leaves the Group, (s)he will forfeit his/her right to exercise stock options for which the share subscription period has not begun on the date of the termination of his/her employment/executive contract. However, the Board of Directors can specifically decide that the stock-option holder retains his/her stock options or some of them. The Board of Directors shall also decide upon the re-distribution of the stock options returned to the company.

By the end of 2011, a total of 6,320,000 stock options 2011A–D(I), 2011A–D(II) and 2011A– D(III) had been granted to 24 key employees within the Group. These option rights entitle their holders to subscribe for an equal number of shares in 2012–2018.

Citycon uses the Black & Scholes option-pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options at the grant date and reports them under personnel expenses in the statement of comprehensive income allocated over the instrument's vesting period. In 2011, the expense recognised in the statement of comprehensive income totalled EUR 1.5 million (EUR 0.0 million in 2010). The expected volatility is determined by calculating the company share price's historical volatility.

The subscription prices of the shares to be subscribed for by exercising the 2011 stock options were determined on the basis of the trade volume weighted average price of Citycon share quoted on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. during twenty (20) trading days following the release date of the company's Full Year 2010 Results, Q1/2011 Interim Report as well as Q3/2011 Interim Report as follows:

Option category Subscription price determination period Subscription price, EUR
2011A-D(I) 10 February–9 March 2011 3.17
2011A-D(II) 5 May–1 June 2011 3.31
2011A-D(II) 13 October–9 November 2011 2.63

The share subscription price will be recognised in the company's invested unrestricted equity fund. Each year, the per-share dividends and equity returns, differing from the company´s normal practice, may be deducted from the share subscription price.

Share subscription period 2011A(I-III) 2011B(I-III) 2011C(I-III)

B) Long-term share-based incentive plan

On 26 April 2007, the Board of Directors decided on a long-term share-based incentive plan for key personnel of Citycon Group. The incentive plan was divided into three incentive periods: 2007, 2008 and 2009. In addition, on 9 February 2010, Citycon Oyj's Board of Directors decided to continue the long-term share-based incentive plan by one year into the financial year 2010.

The incentives are granted to key personnel during the years 2008-2013, so that the incentives earned during each incentive period are paid evenly in the following three years. The incentive granted comprises Citycon shares, cash or both.

Incentives paid in shares are charged to administration expenses and recognised as an increase in shareholders' equity. Incentives paid in cash are charged to administration expenses and recognised as liabilities. In 2011, expenses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income amounted to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.7 million in 2010).

The following table presents additional information on the share-based incentive plan:

According to the terms and conditions of the incentive plan, a participant can also choose to receive shares instead of the cash component intended for paying the related income tax. In addition to shares granted as presented above, 3,032 shares were granted in 2011 (41,054 shares in 2010) instead of paying the cash component in cash.

There are value-added tax refund liabilities arising from capitalised renovations and new investments in Citycon's investment properties. The VAT refund liabilities will realise if the investment property is sold or transferred for non-VAT-liability use within 10 years. Exception to 10-year review rule apply to investments in Finland that have been completed prior to 2008, and the review period is 5 years.

C) Equity ratio commitment and interest coverage ratio

Under a commitment given in the terms of the syndicated loan facilities, Citycon Group undertakes to maintain its equity ratio at above 32.5% and its interest coverage ratio at a minimum of 1.8. For the calculation of equity ratio, shareholders' equity includes capital loans and excludes non-cash valuation gain/loss from derivative contracts recognised in equity and the minority interest. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the EBITDA - adjusted by extraordinary gains/losses, provisions and non-cash items - by net financial expenses.

Accordingly, equity ratio on 31 December 2011 stood at around 39.0 per cent and interest coverage ratio at around 2.0 (2010: equity ratio was around 39.4 per cent and interest coverage ratio around 2.0).

To the Annual General Meeting of Citycon Oyj

We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administration of Citycon Oyj for the year ended 31 December 2011. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.

The responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as for the preparation of financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the control of the company's accounts and finances, and the Managing Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and on the report of the Board of Directors based on our audit. The Auditing Act requires that we comply with the requirements of professional ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company and the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the company.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of financial statements and report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

Opinion on the company's financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors

In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.

VALUATION STATEMENT

1. Scope of Instructions

In accordance with our instructions as External Valuer to the Citycon Oyj ("Company") we have carried out a market valuation of the Properties held within the Company's investment property portfolio as at 31 December 2011 to arrive at our opinion of Gross Market Value (no allowance for the deduction of typical purchaser's costs has been made).

Market Value is defined as:

"The estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion."

We understand that this valuation is required for financial reporting and performance measurement purposes. We confirm that our valuations are fully compliant with IFRS accounting standards and IVSC valuation standards and guidance. We also confirm that we have no involvement with the subscriber or the properties valued which is likely to cause a conflict of interest in providing this advice.

We have carried out inspections of each of the properties during September-December 2011. We have not measured the properties but have relied on the lettable areas which have been supplied to us by the Company. We have neither read copies of the leases or other related documents but have relied on the tenancy information provided by the Company which reflects the latest available tenancy position.

The valuations have been carried out by local Jones Lang LaSalle offices in Finland and Sweden. In Estonia and Lithuania we have been supported by the local affiliates in the delivery of our advice.

This report is addressed to and may be relied upon by the Company and their investors. This report has no other purpose and should not be relied upon by any other person or entity. No responsibility whatsoever is accepted to any third party other than those specified above and neither the whole of the Report, nor any part, nor references thereto, may be published in any document, statement or circular, nor in any communication with such third parties without our prior written approval of the form and context in which it will appear.

2. Economic Background

Consumer and business confidence in Western Europe have fallen substantially over the past few months as a result of the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis and the heightened financial market turmoil that has followed. The economic recovery has lost its momentum with GDP growth projections now lower than previously anticipated. At the same time, regional economic disparities persist, as highlighted by the marked contrast between the Nordics and Germany and the Southern European economies.

Finland

The Finnish economy continued on a growth track in Q3 2011 GDP expanding by 2.7% year-on-year and the forecast for the full year being around 3% which outperforms clearly the Eurozone average. The export driven economy has however been affected by the weakening economic prospects globally and the growth projections have been revised downwards over recent months. Due the gloomy market conditions the range between the latest forecasts has been wide the most pessimistic estimates for GDP growth in 2012 being around -1.5% when the more optimistic ones are forecasting the economy to still expand almost 1%.

Even though consumers' confidence in the economy has been weakening and being clearly below its long-term average in November (0.4 vs. 13.0 since year 1995) retail sales have continued increasing which has been supported by strengthening employment situation and low interest rates. According to Statistics Finland, retail sales rose by 5.4% in October year-on-year and sales volume by 2.3%. During the 11 months of 2011 retail sales have risen by 5.8%.

Sweden

GDP growth in 2011 is forecast to be relatively strong at around 4.3%, a rate which will surpass most other European countries. Reasons for the impressive growth have been increasing exports, household consumption and business investment, which have all been assisted by relatively low interest rates and the government's expansive economic policies. However GDP growth is expected to be low in 2012 at 0.5%, as the continued economic turbulence in the World economy, especially the Eurozone starts to impact Sweden too.

Swedish retail sales have seen consistent growth over the past 14 years according to HUI (Swedish Retail Institute). During 2010, retail sales increased by 3.7% in current prices. Sales of non-daily goods increased by 5%, while sales of daily goods increased by 2.2%. In 2011, it is forecast that total retail sales, will increase by 0.5% of which non-daily goods will be 0.5% and daily goods will be 1.0%. An increase of 1.0% in total retail sales is forecast for 2012.

Estonia

During the first half of 2011 Estonian GDP was growing in real terms by 9% annually, slowing slightly to 7.9% in the Q3. Economic growth was mainly lead by export sector, also purchasing power of consumers had positive effect on economy due to improving labour markets - recovering employment rates and average salary income. The outlook of Estonian economy is dependent on developments in its exporting destination countries, i.e. Scandinavia, Baltics, Russia and Germany. In case economies in this region would rapidly contract Estonia would follow the suit.

During the 11 months of 2011 the Estonian retail sales increased annually by 4% measured at constant prices (National departments of statistics). The food sales counted over half of the total retail sales increase. At current prices the retail sector sales enjoyed 9.5% year-on-year increase during 11 months of 2011. The grocery segment saw decelerated inflationary pressure from food prices lowering from 9.3% year-on-year in September, 6.0% in October and further to 4.3% in November 2011.

Lithuania

Lithuanian economy was growing fast in the first half of 2011 by annualised rate of 6.3%, accelerating to 6.7% in Q3. According to the forecasts produced by European Commission Lithuanian GDP would achieve the second highest growth level in EU after Estonia. The growth engine of Lithuanian economy has been exports, supported by the domestic demand. In 2012 various experts forecast GDP real growth in Lithuania to be 2.5-3.4%.

Lithuanian retail sales at constant prices was growing at 7.6% year-on-year during 11 months of 2011. Retail sales growth in grocery segment was growing at double speed compared to nonfood segment.

3. Property Market

Retail real estate investment in Europe remained strong in Q4 2011. Preliminary analysis suggests that direct investment in retail real estate for the year is likely to exceed €28bn representing a significant increase on 2009 and 2010 total volumes of €12.3bn and €20.7bn respectively. Geographically, the majority of activity remains focused on the UK and Germany but also France and Sweden enjoyed strong final quarters. Overall 2011 saw the development of a multispeed Europe, with national economic performance and stability dictating investment flows and pricing.

Finland

The Finnish property investment market overall has witnessed low levels of transactions since the slowdown of market in H1 2008. Even though the investment demand has been increasing supply of prime assets has limited the transactional activity and the retail investment volume remained below €400 million in 2011. As a result of a strong investment demand both shopping centre and retail warehouse prime yields have moved in since the Q1 2010 but currently the short-term forecast for the yields is stable.

The polarisation of the market seems also to continue. Demand for core assets remains strong as equity rich investors keep on looking for safe heavens but at the same time tightening financing conditions hit the business logic of value added and opportunistic investors.

As a consequence of relatively strong development of retail sales, also retail rents have been increasing. Particularly in retail warehouse sector rental growth has however been focused just on very best locations and overall occupier demand is strongest in prime high street and shopping centre units.

Sweden

The retail property transaction volume increased from around SEK 3.22 billion in H1 2010 to SEK 8.537 billion in H1 2011. Investor demand has been driven by strong GDP and consumption growth and the increased availability of debt finance (especially for prime stock) over the last couple of years. However, demand is weaker for secondary / tertiary retail property investments. Shopping centres accounted for around 79% of retail transactions in H1 2011 whilst retail warehouses accounted for 15%.

After the sharp rise in retail property yields during the recession of 2008 and 2009; since mid-2009 prime retail yields have decreased. Prime shopping centre yields have fallen from 6.5% in mid-2009 to 5.5% in late 2011 and prime retail warehouse yields have fallen from 6.75% in mid-2009 to 6.0% in late 2011.

Strong demand for retail units in prime city centre locations has led to a continued increase in prime rents. This is partly due to the fact that demand from international brands has increased. There has also been a general 'flight to quality' trend by retailers in recent years.

Estonia

Demand for shopping centre space has been growing as shopping in centres is increasing its share in shopping habits and retail chains are expanding carefully. Despite global turmoil the outlook for Estonian retailing is positive and plans to enlarge existing shopping centres have been resumed. Largest shopping centres have enjoyed rental rate recovery by 3-5% and vacancy remains near 0%.

Average retail net initial yields in Baltic countries stay at 8+% level, although some investors demand a risk premium for investment objects located in Latvia and Lithuania due to relatively higher country risk compared to Estonia.

Lithuania

Vilnius has no new shopping centres under development, some super- and hypermarkets are under construction. Rents in centres bottomed out in 2010 and slow rental recovery is expected during 2012. Well managed shopping centres have practically no vacant space. The average vacancy on the capital's retail market is running near 5%.

4. Valuation Rationale

We have adopted a 10-year cash flow model as a main valuation method. The model has been provided by the Company. Cash flows are calculated based on the information of existing lease agreements and after their expiry the estimated rental value (ERV) based on our market opinion replaces the contract rent.

Potential Gross Rental Income equals leased space with respect to contract rents and vacant space with respect to ERV. Deducting both the ERV for the void period between the expired contract and assumed new contract, and the assumed general vacancy level, results in the Effective Gross Rental Income. Effective Gross Rental Income less operating expenses (incl. repairs and tenant improvements) equals the Net Operating Income (NOI). NOI less any capital expenditure equals the bottom level cash flow that has been discounted to reach the present value of the income stream.

The residual value at the end of the 10-year cash flow period is calculated by capitalising the 11th year bottom level cash flow with an exit yield. The value of the property is calculated as a sum of the annually discounted net income stream, the discounted residual value at the end of the calculation period and any other assets increasing the value (e.g. unused building right or unbuilt plot).

The development projects are included in the valuation of the portfolio according to the information received from the representatives of the Company. In the applied valuation model, future rental income is based on finalised rental agreements and rental projections of the valued development project. Correspondingly, the development period is considered a period when premises generate no/limited income and when uncommitted investments are included in the cost side of the valuation model as a value reducing factor. Thus, the value of development project increases automatically as investments are committed and the opening day of the renewed premises is approaching.

5. Valuation

Property Portfolio

The property portfolio consists of mainly retail properties located in Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Lithuania. Citycon Oyj owns fully or partially total number of 78 properties of which 60 in Finland, 14 in Sweden, 3 in Estonia and one in Lithuania. Core of the portfolio are 36 shopping centre properties which comprise 79% of the lettable area of the portfolio and represent the majority stake of the value of the portfolio as well. In addition to the shopping centres there are other commercial properties and development properties. All the owned properties except one plot in Helsinki metropolitan area are built.

After the previous valuation Citycon has sold few properties. In Finland Tullintori Shopping Centre in Tampere and partial ownership in Otaniemen Liikekeskus Oy have been sold. In Sweden has been sold commercial properties and apartments – Landvetter in Härryda, Floda in Lerum and shares of Jakobsberg LB Bostäder AB that owns 57 apartments in Jakobsbergs Centrum. The value of the divested properties in Q3 valuation was approximately EUR 23,500,000.

Total market value of the portfolio in Q4 2011 is approximately MEUR 2,515. Compared to Q3 2011 the value has increased by MEUR 10. When comparing the Q4 2011 and Q3 2011 market value of the portfolio excluding the disposed properties the market value has increased by MEUR 33 i.e. 1.3% but the weighted average yield requirement of the portfolio has remained same (6.4%) as in Q3. Increase in the market value is mostly driven by the investments made in Q4 and the strengthening exchange rate of Swedish krona (SEK).

In the table on the next page are presented the weighted average yields (weighted by the value of the property). Citycon portfolio includes few relatively valuable properties compared to the rest of the portfolio. This means that the weighted averages are highly influenced by changes in these few properties. Iso Omena is the most valuable property in the portfolio.

Properties in Finland

The market value of the Finnish portfolio is MEUR 1,542 thus the value of the portfolio has decreased by 0.6% (MEUR 9) compared to the Q3 value. Weighted yield requirement has stayed the same as in Q3 being 6.3% and reversionary yield has decreased by 20bps being 6.8% when compared to Q3 figure (7.0%). The weighted initial yield has decreased 10bps from Q3 being now 6.0%.

The change in the value of Finnish portfolio is mainly caused by value decrease of the other commercial properties. When excluding the sold properties the change of the value is -0.2%.

Properties in Sweden

The market value of the Swedish portfolio is MEUR 695 thus the value of the portfolio has increased by 2.2% since Q3 when the value was MEUR 680. The weighted average yield requirement for the Swedish portfolio has decreased by 10bps when compared to Q3 figure being 5.9% in Q4.

Few properties have been sold since Q3 – Landvetter in Härryda, Floda in Lerum and shares of Jakobsberg LB Bostäder AB that owns 57 apartments in Jakobsbergs Centrum. The value of the sold properties in Q3 was MEUR 17. When excluding the sold properties the change in the value of the portfolio is +4.8% (MEUR 32).

Properties in Estonia and Lithuania

The value of the Estonian and Lithuanian portfolio is MEUR 278. Compared to the Q3 value there was 1.5% increase in the value. The weighted average yield requirement of the portfolio has increased by 10bps when compared to Q3 figure being now 8.0%. Both the weighted average initial yield and the weighted average reversionary yield have increased the reversionary yield being 8.4% (8.3% in Q3) and initial yield 8.2% (7.3% in Q3).

6. Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity analysis of the fair value of the portfolio has been carried out by creating a summary cash flow based on individual cash flow calculations. Changes in fair value have then been tested by modifying key input parameters of the calculations. The parameters tested were yield requirement, estimated rental value and operating expenses. The current market value of the properties was used as a starting point for the analysis. The analysis is performed by changing one parameter at a time while all others remain unchanged, and then calculating the corresponding market value of the total portfolio. The sensitivity analysis is a simplified model intended to support understanding of the value effect of different parameters on the valuation. 10% increase in estimated rental value causes approximately 14% increase in value and 10% decrease in yield requirement causes approximately 11% increase in the value. Changes in expenses have more modest effect to the value than other parameters.

7. Market Value as at 31 December 2011

We are of the opinion that the aggregate of the Market Values, free of liabilities and debt, of the properties in the subject portfolio as at 31 December 2011 is as follows: € 2,515,000,000 (Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifteen Million Euros)
