Stable business despite concerns in the world

The third quarter was characterized by the macroeconomic development with accelerating inflation, rising interest rates and a volatile market for bonds and commercial paper. At the same time, our core business property management is stable.

Stable property management operations

Demand for office premises continues to be good on most markets, despite the concerns in the world and on the financial market. At the same time, activity on the rental market for city logistics continues to be high. Net letting amounted to SEK –42 million during the third quarter. The negative figure is wholly attributable to a termination of a contract amounting to SEK –43 million in Kista in northern Stockholm. During the past 12-month period, net letting amounted to SEK 68 million, showing a good recovery after the pandemic. Among the lease contracts signed during the quarter may be mentioned two contracts in New York with an aggregate annual contract value of SEK 18 million.

During the period January–September, net operating income increased by 82 per cent to SEK 2,233 million at the same time as profit from property management improved by 66 per cent to SEK 1,346 million.

Higher energy prices but inflation-indexed income

Due to the fast-changing geopolitical situation, we now have an extra focus on the macroeconomic effects that arise. Accelerating inflation and shortage of energy leading to high prices are creating uncertainty. Corem continuously hedges a large share of its electricity consumption, although, despite this, rising energy costs in the Swedish property portfolio accounted for around SEK 25 million of the increase in property costs during the third quarter. However, the net effect for Corem is lower given that a big part of Corem's energy costs are passed on to the tenants. In general, we have a big focus on cost efficiency in all parts of the company and as a result of increasing energy costs, we see an increased interest on the part of tenants that we should do energy-saving investments, including installation of solar cells.

At the same time, rising inflation has a positive effect on Corem's rental income, as 84 per cent of our Swedish leases, measured in contract value, are indexed in relation to the consumer price index (CPI). In 2022, this will entail a positive effect on rental income of approximately SEK 90 million, and if inflation in October 2022 amounts to 10 per cent, the positive effect in 2023 will be around SEK 340 million. We are aware that higher rent, combined with rising energy costs, is a challenge for some tenants but our assessment is that overall there will not be any major problems to implement this contract-based rent increase in 2023. In our dialogue with tenants, we regard it is as important to make clear that the inflation-indexed rent increase in 2023 is taking place at the same time as real estate companies' costs are increasing, not least as regards electricity costs and interest expense.

A challenging financial and macroeconomic market situation Due to the sharp rise in inflation, leading to higher interest rates, the whole real estate sector is confronted by a period of increasingly high financial expenses. The financial market has become more and more volatile, which Corem, inter alia, could note at the end of September when we decided, due to prevailing market conditions, not to carry out a proposed issue of green senior unsecured bonds. For the same reason, a tender offer for outstanding bonds was withdrawn. Corem has no bond maturities during the rest of 2022. During the first and second quarter of 2023, maturities amount to SEK 484 million and SEK 700 million respectively.

We work continuously to secure stable long-term financing and limit the interest rate risk through both interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. At the end of the quarter, 70 per cent of Corem's interest-bearing liabilities were interest rate hedged or at a fixed rate.

Corem has a high share of bank financing. On 30 September, bank credits amounted to 75 per cent of the interest-bearing liabiilties. This provides stability in periods of volatility in the capital market. During the third quarter, Corem has refinanced a number of bank loans on substantially unchanged margins over Stibor. To balance the volatile state of the market, in particular for bonds and commercial paper, we continuously evaluate the possibility of further increasing the proportion of bank financing as well as divesting

properties of lower strategic value. We currently have a number of discussions underway regarding divestments of both individual properties and portfolios of properties.

Further streamlining

As a step in the ongoing streamlining of the property portfolio, on 1 September, transfer of possession took place of six divested properties in Växjö and Jönköping for SEK 615 million. And during the third quarter, it was announced that an agreement had been signed to divest seven properties in Borås, Lerum and Gothenburg for SEK 200 million, with transfer of possession on 3 October. Taken as a whole, both these transactions took place in line with book value. We are planning to continue streamlining the portfolio and expect to be net-sellers of properties in 2023 as well.

Value-creating, cash flow-focused project development

In project development, our ambition through every single project is to improve the company's cash flow which indirectly contributes to the value development of the property portfolio. Decisions on new investments are now taken in a context with higher construction costs and where the cost of capital for implementation has increased so that activity in project operations is reduced to the absolutely most profitable projects.

Our two largest ongoing new construction projects are two high-quality office buildings with high environmental classification in attractive locations in Manhattan, which have now been externally completed while interior tenant customizations will continue throughout 2022 and 2023. During the quarter, two additional lease contracts have been signed in the project 1245 Broadway. The media entertainment company 101 Studios will rent approximately 770 sq.m and the digital marketing company GumGum will rent around 555 sq.m. Moving-in is planned to take place in the spring and summer of 2023 respectively. The total annual contract value for all lease

contracts signed so far in the USA amounts to around SEK 105 million. The average rent amounts to over SEK 12,000 per square metre. We are continuing to see a recovery after the pandemic for new office buildings in the premium segment in New York and look forward to signing more lease contracts during 2022 and 2023.

To sum up, I am pleased about the good profit from property management despite challenging macroeconomic times and a volatile financial market. Together, we are continuing at Corem to develop and optimize our operations and the property portfolio with an unchanged focus on local property management close to the customer.

On 28 April 2022, Corem, together with ALM Equity, established the unlisted company Klövern.

The property portfolio

PROPERTY VALUE

On 30 September 2022, Corem's property portfolio consisted of 473 investment properties with a total lettable area of 3,258 thousand sq.m. and a market value of SEK 81,483 million, as well as 1 property classified as current assets.

CHANGES IN VALUE

The changes in value of Corem's investment properties amounted during the period to SEK 176 million (1,514), of which unrealized changes in value amounted to SEK 536 million and realized changes in value amounted to SEK –360 million. During the third quarter more cautious assumptions regarding some vacancies and marginally higher yield requirements have had a negative contribution to changes in value while higher inflation assumptions have mitigated the quarter's negative value changes. Project development, including development of building rights, contributed with increases in value of properties of SEK 139 million during the quarter. On average, Corem's properties at 30 September 2022, have been valued at a yield requirement of 5.0 per cent (5.1).

Corem values all properties every quarter, of which 20 to 30 per cent are normally valued externally. Every property in the portfolio is valued externally once a year. During the quarter, Cushman & Wakefield and Savills have been used as valuation agencies. Corem obtains continuous market information from external valuation agencies as support for the internal valuation. See Corem's annual report for 2021 for a sensitivity analysis and a detailed description of the valuation principles.

PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with newly established Klövern AB

On 28 April 2022, Corem transferred possession of 25 properties to the company that Corem has established with ALM Equity. The aim of the company is to develop rental apartments for in-house management. At a later stage when local plans for housing have been obtained, Corem will also transfer possession of residential building rights in Stockholm and Uppsala, among other places, to that company (Klövern). As at 30 September 2022, Corem's ownership of Klövern amounted to 49.4 per cent. The holding is reported as holdings in associated companies.

Other transactions

On 1 September 2022, three properties in Växjö and three properties in Jönköping were sold and handed over for a total underlying property value of SEK 615 million.

In September, it was announced that a contract had been signed to divest seven properties in Borås, Lerum and Gothenburg for a total underlying property value of SEK 200 million. Transfer of possession of the properties was on 3 October.

Net letting

Net letting amounted to SEK –42 million (7) during the third quarter, SEK –30 million (31) during the period and SEK 68 million (33) during the past four quarters. The negative figure during the third quarter is wholly attributable to a termination of a contract amounting to SEK –43 million in Kista in northern Stockholm.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Project activity makes it possible to meet tenants' changed requirements and create added value in the property portfolio. Investments often take place in connection with new lettings and in order to customize and modernize premises and thus increase the rental value.

During the period January–September, SEK 1,959 million (848) has been invested in the property portfolio for new construction, extension and refurbishments. On 30 September 2022, the remaining investment volume of projects in process amounted to SEK 2,389 million. At the same point in time, in total 12 projects with an estimated investment each exceeding SEK 50 million were in process. The total area-based letting rate of these projects which encompass 85,820 sq.m. with a remaining investment of SEK 1,427 million, amounts to 57 per cent.

Project development, including development of building rights, contributed to increases in value of properties of SEK 139 million during the third quarter or SEK 1,156 million during the past four quarters.

Commercial projects in Sweden

Corem has a large portfolio of commercial projects in process. Several of them are within the framework of Corem's urban development projects, among others in Uppsala and Västerås and in Kista and Söderstaden in Stockholm.

In Västerås, projects are in process in two of the central retail properties. At the retail property Punkt, the facade is being opened up towards the railway station and the interior is being upgraded with new escalators and through environmental investments. Tenant customizations are in process, for among others, Coop and Systembolaget, which in 2022 have signed long lease contracts with moving in during 2023. In the adjacent Gallerian, Region Västmanland's largest health centre is moving in during 2023 on a 15-year lease contract.

In central Stockholm, refurbishment and modernization of the property Orgelpipan 4 on Klarabergsgatan is in process. Extensive work to replace the white marble facade has been completed and the property is beginning to regain its former glory.

Commercial projects in New York

Corem owns five project properties in Manhattan in New York. Two projects, new production of two high quality office buildings, are nearing completion. The projects are called 1245 Broadway and 28&7 and both have now reached exterior completion while letting work and interior tenant customization is in process.

During the second quarter, the first tenant, Avalanche Studios Group moved into a floor at 1245 Broadway and the tenant A24 Films took possession of its five floors at the same property where tenant customization is in process. One additional tenant will move in during the fourth quarter.

In August, Corem signed a 12-year lease contract with 101 Studios for approximately 770 sq.m. of office space at 1245 Broadway. Moving-in is planned for the spring of 2023. At the end of September, a further lease contract was signed at 1245 Broadway, a 5-year agreement with GumGum for around 555 sq.m. office space with moving-in planned for summer 2023. As of 30 September, in total six leasing contracts had been signed corresponding to 48 per cent of the area of 1245 Broadway and 7 per cent of the area of 28&7. The total contract value of the leases signed in New York amounts to USD 9.4 million, corresponding to approximately SEK 105 million, or just over SEK 12,000/sq.m.

The project portfolio also includes two planned projects in New York for new construction of offices at 417 Park Avenue and 118 10th Avenue encompassing 33,000 sq.m. and 13,200 sq.m. respectively. Preliminary project work is in process on these properties.

Residential development projects

Even after the establishment of Klövern (see page 7 under Property transactions), an associated company focused on rental housing, Corem may be engaged in some residential development projects of its own. However, this will be to a very limited extent and mainly associated with urban development projects, for example, in Västerås and Söderstaden, where housing is an important part of urban development.

Currently, Corem has one ongoing residential project, K1 Nacka Strand, which comprises of 60 apartments. The project is divided into sale phases and 49 of the 54 apartments that have been offered to the market have been sold. Sales of the remaining 6 apartments have not started yet. Moving-in is planned to be during the fourth quarter of 2023.

INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

On 30 September 2022, the interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 47,632 million (46,738). Accrued borrowing overheads amounted to SEK 179 million (174), meaning interest-bearing liabilities in the balance sheet of SEK 47,453 million (46,564).

Corem's interest-bearing liabilities are mainly secured by mortgage deeds and/or shares in subsidiaries. Unsecured interest-bearing liabilities consist of commercial paper and unsecured bonds, SEK 715 million (2,322) and SEK 11,418 million (11,558) respectively at the end of the quarter. Corem's commercial paper programme has a framework amount of SEK 5,000 million. Outstanding commercial paper has back-ups in the form of unutilized credit facilities in Nordic banks.

The average period of tied-up capital amounted to 3.5 years (3.8). The loan-to-value ratio amounted to 54 per cent (53).

Bonds

At the end of the quarter, the Group had SEK 11,418 million in outstanding listed bond loans, maturing in 2023 to 2025. There is an unsecured Medium Term Note-programme (MTN) with a framework of SEK 10,000 million, where SEK 5,550 million has been issued.

INTEREST MATURITY STRUCTURE

On 30 September 2022, the average interest of the loan portfolio was 3.2 per cent (2.4). Refinancings of bank loans during the quarter have been completed on substantially unchanged margins over the Stibor rate.

To limit the interest rate risk, there are interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, where the effects of larger increases in interest rates are limited through interest rate caps. At the end of the quarter, Corem had interest rate swaps for a nominal value of SEK 22,890 million (8,890), of which SEK 5,000 million in forward-started swaps, and interest rate caps for SEK 14,439 million (23,539). Excluding forward-started swaps, this corresponds to 68 per cent of the interest-bearing liabilities. Together with fixed interest loans, this means that 70 per cent of the interest-bearing liabilities were hedged. The swaps have interest rate levels in the range –0.4–3.7 per cent while the caps have interest rate levels in the range 1.5–3.0 per cent. As of 30 September 2022, the net market value of the interest rate derivative portfolio was SEK 1,373 million (–86). Change in value of derivatives amounted to SEK 123 million (86) during the quarter.

The average fixed interest period amounted at the end of the quarter to 2.2 years (2.6) taking derivatives into account. The interest coverage ratio amounted to 2.6 (2.8) during the quarter.

LIQUID FUNDS

On 30 September 2022, liquid funds amounted to SEK 374 million (571). In addition there were unutilized credit facilities, including backup facilities for outstanding commercial paper, of SEK 3,684 million of which SEK 2,142 million can be used immediately with existing collateral. The remaining amount can be used for acquisition of shares and properties as well as to some extent financing ongoing projects. Interest-bearing net liabilities amounted to SEK 45,956 million (43,818).

EQUITY

At the end of the quarter, the Group's equity, attributable to the parent company's shareholders, amounted to SEK 35,081 million (33,342), of which SEK 1,300 million refers to hybrid bonds. Equity amounted to SEK 25.70 (23.94) per ordinary share of Class A and B, SEK 289.59 (289.59) per ordinary share of Class D and SEK 312.72 (312.72) per preference share. The net asset value (NAV) per ordinary share of Class A and B amounted to SEK 29.93 (29.60).

Hybrid bond

Corem has, via the subsidiary, Corem Kelly, a SEK 1,300 million perpetual hybrid bond which has a floating interest rate of 3-month Stibor +6 per cent margin. If the hybrid bond is not redeemed in June 2023 a step-up occurs which increases the margin to 8 per cent.

Equity ratio

At the end of the quarter, the adjusted equity ratio was 42 per cent (43) and the equity ratio 37 per cent (36).

For further information about changes in equity, see page 20.

SHAREHOLDINGS

Since 2019, Corem owns shares in the real estate company Castellum, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. On 30 September 2022, the holding amounted to 8,880,000 shares. The market value amounted at the same time to SEK 1,111 million, based on a price of SEK 125.15 per share. The acquisition value amounts to SEK 192.03 per share. Corem also owns 639,425 shares in Everysport Media Group, which is listed on Spotlight Stock Market. The market value amounted to SEK 6 million on 30 September 2022.

In addition, unlisted shares at a value of SEK 60 million are included in the balance sheet's line Financial assets valued at fair value.

After a long period of increase in value, during the year we have seen a general decrease in value of property shares on the stock exchange. The decline is considered to be primarily linked to interest rate increases and geopolitical concerns. See also risk section in Corem's annual report for 2021.

CASH FLOW

The Group's cash flow from operating activities, before change in working capital, amounted during the quarter to SEK 459 million (491).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK –680 million (–661) and cash flow from financing activities to SEK –20 million (–126).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report for the Group has been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for the Parent Company in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities. In the Group, the properties are valued in compliance with Level 3 in the IFRS valuation hierarchy.

The fair value of financial instruments in the Group reported at accrued acquisition value agrees essentially with the reported value. The same applies to the Parent Company with the exception of the holding in Castellum where fair values are those reported to the Group. No changes of the categorization of financial instruments have taken place during the period. Financial assets valued at fair value are valued in accordance with Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Derivatives are valued in accordance with Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. No new or changed standards or interpretations from IASB have had any impact on the interim report and the accounting policies applied are those described in Note 1 of Corem's Annual Report for 2021.

Rounding differences may arise in the report.

DEFINITIONS

In this interim report a number of financial key ratios and measures are presented which are not defined by IFRS. Corem believes these key ratios and measures provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the Company's management in analysing the Company's operations. Because not all companies calculate financial key ratios and measures in the same way these are not always comparable. On the Company's website, the definitions of selected key ratios and measures are presented, as well as an appendix showing the

calculation of such key figures that are not directly identifiable from the financial reports.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is an important part of Corem's business and is integrated in the daily operations. It encompasses social, ecological and economic sustainability and is focused on the areas Good business partner and long-term value development, Attractive employer, Reduced climate impact and Sustainable and vibrant city.

Corem's Board of Directors has established a number of new long-term sustainability goals following the consolidation of Klövern, including:

  • All energy used in Corem's operations shall be fossil-free by 2030.
  • Corem shall be climate-neutral throughout the value chain by 2035.
  • The share of green and sustainability-related financing as well as green income shall in the long term constitute as large a share as possible.

The overall goal is to ensure an attractive property portfolio which creates long-term sustainable value without a negative impact on people or the environment.

EMPLOYEES

Locally-based property management with own staff, in order to achieve closeness to customers and in-depth market knowledge, is an integral part of Corem's strategy. Corem's head office is located in Stockholm.

REVIEW REPORT

Corem Property Group AB (publ) corporate ID number 556463-9440

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Corem Property Group AB as of 30 September 2022 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

DIRECTION AND SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the stated conclusion based on a review does not have the certainty of a stated conclusion based on an audit.

CONCLUSION

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