CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW

Knut Rost, CEO

HIGHER QUALITY AND NEW PROJECTS

Property management income has continued to improve, increasing by 11 per cent year on year. The surplus ratio has increased, driven by higher rents as well as reduced costs.

Diös' annual rental value has passed the SEK 2 billion mark for the first time, indicating that rents are going up and that the quality of the portfolio has increased. We continue to invest for our tenants and are seeing rising rents. Demand remains very strong in central locations. Vacancies are up slightly due to a number of terminations as well as the vacating of space for new build projects.

We create growth. Sustainable cities are the future, and that's why development is essential. We want to and will continue to drive growth in our cities in line with our urban development strategy, and as a market leader we are in a good position to influence things. People want to live in inspiring cities that are looking to the future and growing.

During the period, we enabled several exciting lets that enhance the experience and content of our cities. Two good examples are the lets to Johan Backéus' restaurant concept in the In:galleria shopping centre in Sundsvall and the Pitcher's gastro pub in central Gävle. This shows a courage to try out new concepts, financial strength and a high level of activity among our employees.

By creating new commercial and residential premises, we are increasing density in and expanding the central areas of our cities. Our major hotel projects in Sundsvall and Umeå are now underway. We have completed the residential project in Falun and are delighted to be handing the property over to the housing association. Right next to the train station in Östersund we will initiate the construction of 85 Nordic Swan-ecolabeled rental apartments in the new Söderbo block. These will mainly be very modern and space-efficient studios and one-bedroom apartments that we are confident will attract strong demand. We are in the final stages of rent negotiations with major tenants on several big projects.

During the period, we activly bringed out development rights for a further 50,000 sq.m of space and total potential investments

for initiated new builds and development rights now amount to around SEK 5,000 million. The most important consideration is to ensure that these opportunities are used as soon as possible, and it is therefore unlikely that we will be developing everything ourselves.

We are today taking many decisions that help to create a more sustainable environment and we want to inspire others to make sustainable choices. We are enabling our tenants to recharge electric vehicles through investments in charging infrastructure, improving waste sorting facilities in our properties and continue to create smart energy installations, to mention just a few examples. We have continued to install solar panels on our properties and in Gävle work is now commencing on our largest installation to date, which will have a maximum output of around 250 kW.

Long-term market interest rates have been trending down consistently since late 2018, which suggests that we will see few or no further rate hikes from the Riksbank. We continue to enjoy good access to capital for investments and transactions.

The first half of the year has been good. Several new build projects that will add a further dimension to our business are well under way, and we are cutting our costs and increasing the value and quality of our portfolio. I now look forward to a stable second half with a high level of activity and many new exciting transactions that will increase our profitability. Diös has a unique position and a well diversified property portfolio that continues to generate strong and stable cash flows.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT INCOME

Property management income for the period, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 469 million (421). This is an increase of 11 per cent compared with the previous year. For comparable properties, our property management income increased by 11 per cent year on year.

INCOME

The rental income for the reporting period was SEK 922 million (896), representing a 90 per cent (91) economic occupancy rate. For comparable properties, contracted rental income increased by 4,7 per cent year on year. Other property management income totalled SEK 17 million (9) and consisted mainly of costs for work in leased premises that are passed on to tenants.

PROPERTY COSTS

Total property costs were SEK 339 million (351). Snow- and icerelated costs decreased compared with the same period in 2018. Of total property costs, SEK 7 million (6) refers to work in leased premises for which the costs are passed on to tenants.

OPERATING SURPLUS

The operating surplus was SEK 583 million (545), representing a surplus ratio of 64 per cent (62). For comparable properties, our operating surplus increased by 7 per cent compared with the previous year.

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

The central administration expense was SEK 35 million (35). Central administration includes costs for Group-wide functions such as senior management, IT, annual reports, auditors' fees, legal advice and so on.

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Net financial items for the period were SEK -79 million (-89). The interest costs for the period, including costs for interest rate derivatives and loan commitments, represent borrowings at an average annual interest rate of 1.2 per cent (1.5).

CHANGES IN VALUE, PROPERTIES

The average valuation yield at the end of the period was 5.91 per cent (6.03). At portfolio level, this represents a change of -0.06 percentage points since year-end. The positive value change of SEK 131 million (227) is mainly attributable to a higher net operating income. The change in value represented 0.6 per cent (1.1) of market value. At 30 June, the market value was SEK 21,845 million (20,060).

During the period, 5 properties (4) were sold, resulting in a realised change in value of SEK 5 million (-3), and 6 properties (3) were acquired.

MARKET VALUE AND PROPERTY

OPERATING SURPLUS AND SURPLUS RATIO

The figures for property management income, operating surplus and surplus ratio in Q2 2019 are on a rolling 12-month basis.

CHANGES IN VALUE, DERIVATIVES

The portfolio of interest rate derivatives has been measured at fair value. If the contracted interest rate deviates from the market rate, a theoretical fair value gain or loss arises on the interest rate derivatives. The change in value is of an accounting nature and does not affect cash flow.

During the period, unrealised changes in value on derivatives totalled SEK 1 million (12), which have been fully recognised in income statement.

PROFIT BEFORE TAX

The profit before tax was SEK 606 million (657). The lower profit is mainly due to reduced unrealised property values compared with the previous year.

PROFIT AFTER TAX

The profit after tax was SEK 493 million (587). The current tax expense is SEK -41 million (-39) and is mainly attributable to tax in subsidiaries which are not permitted to offset losses against Group profits, and to tax arising from property transactions in trading partnerships and limited partnerships. Deferred tax was SEK -72 million (-31), including a positive effect from restatement of deferred tax after the corporate tax rate was changed from 22 per cent to 20.6 per cent. Read more in the section Tax.

SECOND QUARTER OF 2019

Property management income for the second quarter, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 257 million (234). The operating surplus was SEK 315 million (295), representing a surplus ratio of 69 per cent (67).

Rental income for the second quarter was SEK 464 million (446), representing an economic occupancy rate of 90 per cent (91). Total property costs were SEK 150 million (151).

Net financial items for the second quarter were SEK -40 million (-43). The profit before tax was SEK 329 million (358), with changes in the value of properties having a positive impact of SEK 71 million (118) and changes in the value of interest rate derivatives adding SEK 0 million (6). Earnings after tax were SEK 263 million (358), of which SEK 48 million (-22) refers to deferred tax and SEK -18 million (-22) to current tax.

AVERAGE INTEREST RATE AND LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO

TAX

The nominal corporate tax rate in Sweden is 21,4 per cent. Thanks to the option of using tax depreciation allowances, recognising the full amount of expenses for certain types of conversion projects in the first year and using tax loss carry-forwards, tax paid is lower than nominal tax.

The remaining tax loss carry-forwards are estimated at SEK 0 million (10). The Group also has untaxed reserves of SEK 310 million (181). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax base by SEK 6,604 million (5,704), less SEK 3,760 million (3,280) in deferred tax relating to asset acquisitions. The tax liability has been calculated using the new tax rate of 20.6 per cent, as no significant reversal of the tax liability is expected to be made in 2019 or 2020.

While the reporting of taxes complies with the applicable accounting rules it should be noted that the amount of tax paid over the period generally differs from the reported amount. In addition, tax regulations are complex and hard to interpret. The application of the regulations may also change over time. Diös has no ongoing tax disputes.

1 The deferred tax liability has been restated as follows: Deferred tax liability on untaxed reserves has been calculated using a tax rate of 20.6 per cent.

NEW TAX RULES

On 14 June 2018, the Swedish parliament adopted a new law on limitation of interest deductibility for businesses, which became effective on 1 January 2019. The new law restricts the right to deduct interest expenses while gradually lowering the income tax rate. In view of our strong cash flow coupled with historically low interest rates, the new law will have only a minor impact on tax paid provided that Diös is able to offset net interest income and expenses across the Group effectively. However, rising interest rates will increase the negative impact (given an otherwise unchanged cash flow).

TENANTS

Our tenant base is well diversified geographically and in terms of industry. The number of commercial leases was 2,981 (3,052). The number of residential leases was 1,713 (1,632). The ten largest tenants represent 16 per cent (16) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 30 June, 24 per cent of contracted rental income came from tenants engaged in activities on behalf of the central government, county councils or local authorities.

NET LEASING

Net leasing for the period was SEK 13 million (-2). Noteworthy new lets during the period included those to the Service Administration at the Municipality of Falun in the Falan 23 property in Falun, the Municipality of Borlänge in Hammaren 6 in Borlänge and Lambertsson Sverige AB in Cisternen 4 in Umeå.

OUR PROPERTIES

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

The property portfolio is concentrated to central locations in ten priority cities in northern Sweden. The portfolio is well diversified, consisting mainly of residential, office and retail properties. At the end of the period, the portfolio comprised 93 per cent (93) commercial properties and 7 per cent (7) residential properties based on rental value by type of premises.

PROPERTY VALUATION

At each closing date, all properties are measured at fair value. The aim is to determine the properties' individual values in a sale executed through a structured transaction between market players. Any portfolio effects are thus not taken into account. Diös' property portfolio is divided into a main portfolio and a subsidiary portfolio. The main portfolio comprises around 75 per cent of the property value, or SEK 15,745 million, and 115 properties. The valuation method requires that an external valuation of the entire main portfolio be made each year. The external valuation is made by valuation consultants Savills, who assess 25 per cent of the main portfolio each quarter. The remaining portion is valued internally. All properties in the main portfolio are also physically inspected by Savills within a three-year period. In addition to the regular inspections, physical visits are also made after major changes. Properties in the secondary portfolio are valued internally with assistance from Savills. All property valuations are based on a number of assumptions about the future and the market. Savills' calculations thus have an uncertainty range of +/-7.5 per cent. For Diös, this translates into a value range of SEK 20,207 million - SEK 23,483 million. No changes in terms of valuation methodology or approach were made during the period. The valuations were made in accordance with IFRS 13 level 3.

INVESTMENTS

We invest continually in our properties to improve, adapt and improve the efficiency of our tenants' premises. During the period, our investments helped to increase the value of the portfolio by SEK 583 million (298).

IMPROVEMENT AND TENANT ADAPTATIONS

Our investments in our existing portfolio comprise conversions and extensions as well as energy-saving measures. The investments must result in a higher occupancy rate, increased customer satisfaction, lower costs and a reduced impact on the environment. During the period, SEK 583 million (298) was invested in 617 projects (564). At the end of the period, 34 major1 improvement projects were ongoing, with a remaining investment volume of SEK 241 million and a total investment volume of SEK 636 million. During the period, decisions were taken on 76 new investments. The return on completed investments for the period was 9.1 per cent on the invested amount while the return on our ongoing projects was 5.8 per cent. 1 Initial investment volume > SEK 4 million.

NEW BUILDS

Ongoing projects in premises with existing development rights cover a total floor area of around 100,000 sq.m. In addition to this, we have identified existing and potential development rights for a gross floor area of a further 100,000 sq.m. The estimated investment volume for ongoing and identified projects is around SEK 5,000 million.

The hotel project in Umeå on the Magne 4 property was officially initiated during the period. Towards the end of the period, we also initiated a housing project on the Kräftan 8 property in the Söderbo block in Östersund. The project comprises 85 residential apartments in three buildings with four commercial premises on the ground floor. It is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2020.

All values have been provided by the suppliers. Floor area refers to tempered area. The comparative figures have been updated for the current portfolio and thus show changes for comparable properties.

The target for 2019 is to reduce energy consumption by 3 per cent. The optimisation efforts that were stepped up in the second quarter of 2018, with a clearer focus and technology strategies, have continued to yield fruit. Overall energy use in the period was down by 3.8 per cent.

To lower the environmental impact, we only purchase originlabelled electricity and we can now see that 98 per cent of our energy use comes from renewable sources.

CERTIFICATIONS

During the period, 8 BREEAM In-Use certification processes were concluded and four new processes were started. Our target for the year is to certify 16 properties under the BREEAM In-Use environmental certification standard. The goal for 2019 is to obtain environmental certification for 17 per cent of the portfolio by surface area. We now have 29 properties certified under the Miljöbyggnad, BREEAM In-Use and GreenBuilding standards, which represents approximately 12 per cent of the total area of the property portfolio.

PROJECTS AND PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

Projects refer to the creation of new spaces, property development refers to investments in existing properties in the form of conversions and extensions as well as energy-saving measures.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

At 30 June 2019, 36 per cent (35) of Diös' total assets of SEK 22,169 million was funded through equity, 53 per cent (55) through debt securities and 11 per cent (10) through other capital.

EQUITY

At 30 June, equity was SEK 7,928 million (7,084). The equity ratio was 35.8 per cent (34.9), which exceeds the target of 35 per cent.

INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

Interest-bearing liabilities in the Group were SEK 11,782 million (11,190). Of total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 8,982 million (9,150) refers to bank financing, SEK 1,240 million (1,240) to covered bonds and SEK 1,560 million (800) to commercial paper. The accrued cost of the commercial paper is SEK 1,559 million (800). The loan-to-value ratio in the Group was 53.9 per cent (55.8) at the end of the period. The average annual interest rate for the period, including the cost of derivatives and loan commitments, was 1.2 per cent (1.5) and the interest coverage ratio was 6.7 times (5.6).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Out of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 4,000 million (4,600) has been hedged through derivatives. At 30 June 2019, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK 0 million (-4). The financial instruments limit the impact of changes in interest rates on our average borrowing cost. The value of derivatives is always zero at maturity. All financial instruments are measured at fair value and are

classified in Level 2 in accordance with IFRS 13, which means that the measurement is based on observable market data (see Note 21 in the Annual Report 2018). Changes in value are recognised through profit or loss.

KEY FINANCIAL RATIOS

The interim report presents non-IFRS performance measures. We consider that these measures provide valuable additional information for investors, analysts and the company's management, as they enable the evaluation of relevant trends and the company's performance. As not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with the measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be viewed as substitutes for IFRS-defined measures. The following table presents non-IFRS measures unless otherwise stated. Definitions of these measures are provided on page 27 and in the descriptions of the purpose of the various measures in the annual report for 2018. The financial targets for 2019 adopted by the Board are presented on page 23 of this report. Figures refer to SEK million unless otherwise indicated.

EMPLOYEES AND ORGANISATION

The number of employees on 30 June 2019 was 158 (155), of whom 64 were women (61). The majority of our employees, 105 people (100), work in our business units and the rest at our head office in Östersund.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Material risks and uncertainties affecting the business include market and business intelligence, the business model, the properties, cash flow, financing and sustainability.

Demand and prices in the Swedish property are influenced by the level of economic activity globally and in Sweden as well as by interest rates.

Our properties are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, and changes in value are recognised in the income statement. The effects of changes in value affect the income statement and balance sheet and thus also the related performance measures. Any significant negative impact is managed through a diversified portfolio of centrally located properties in growth cities.

Equity ratio, % 30.6 35.8 40.2
Loan-to-value ratio, % 58.3 53.9 50.2

Cash flow consists of income and expenses and is primarily attributable to rent levels, property costs, occupancy rates and interest rates. A change in these items affects cash flow and thus also earnings. Any significant negative impact is managed through a diversified tenant structure, good cost control and active interest rate risk management.

1 Annualised.

Access to financing is the biggest financial risk and is essential to running a property business. The risk is limited through good relations with banks, access to the capital market, and strong finances and KPIs.

A sustainable business model and sustainable behaviour are essential to creating long-term value. Through good internal control and procedures, we take responsibility for building a sustainable long-term business.

No material changes in the assessment of risks have been made after the publication of the annual report for 2018. For more information on risks and risk management, see Diös' annual report for 2018, pages 60-64.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There were no significant related party transactions in the period. Those related-party transactions which did occur are deemed to have been concluded on market terms.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

Costs for operations and maintenance are subject to seasonal variations. Cold weather and snow affect the costs for heating, snow clearance and roof snow removal. The costs are normally higher in the first and fourth quarters.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Diös complies with EU-adopted IFRS standards and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report for the parent company is prepared in accordance with RFR 2 Financial Reporting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures under IAS 34 are provided elsewhere in the interim report than in a note. All property-related transactions have been recognised based on calculations of the preliminary consideration. The calculation of the final consideration will be completed in the third quarter of 2019. The economic outcome for the Falan residential property will be presented in the third quarter. The accounting policies applied in the interim report are consistent with the accounting policies applied when preparing the consolidated financial statements and Annual Report for 20181 , Note 1, with the exception of the introduction of IFRS 16 Leases. In the parent company leases of vehicles are still accounted for as operating leases in accordance with the exemption provided for under RFR 2.

New or amended IFRS standards and new interpretations which have not yet become effective:

IFRS 16 LEASES

IFRS 16 has been applied for the financial year that began on 1 January 2019. Diös does not apply the standard retrospectively. The accounting treatment for lessors is essentially unchanged. For lessees, the standard has the effect that most leases will be recognised in the balance sheet. For Diös, the main impact is in respect of the recognition of leasehold contracts and vehicle leases, which from 1 January 2019 will be recognised in the balance sheet and will thus have an impact on total assets. The lease payment is accounted for as depreciation of the right-of-use asset and finance charge, and is no longer included in net operating income. The recognised right-of-use assets have been assigned the same value as the lease liability recognised at 1 January 2019. As Diös has a limited number of contracts, the impact on the financial statements is limited. In preparation for the change, Diös reviewed and assessed the Group's leases in its capacity as lessee, identifying leasehold contracts and vehicle leases as being the most material. In addition to these, only minor leases have been identified, such as leases for office equipment

and similar items. As at 1 January 2019, the Group recognised a lease liability of SEK 35 million for leasehold contracts along with a corresponding right-of-use asset. After that date, Diös has recognised the right-of-use asset at fair value, as it is considered to be an investment property. As a result of the transition to IFRS 16, all ground rent costs have been treated as financial cost, which differs from the previous principle, under which these costs were treated as an operating expense that reduced the operating surplus. Property management income remains unchanged, however. The recognised expense for ground rent in 2018 was SEK 3 million. As at 1 January 2019, the Group recognised a lease liability of SEK 14 million for vehicle leases along with a corresponding right-of-use asset. These are recognised at the value of the right-of-use asset at the beginning of the period less depreciation and a finance charge, which differs from the previous principle, under which this was treated as an operating expense that reduced the operating surplus. The recognised expense for leased vehicles in 2018 was SEK 4 million. As Diös has a limited number of contracts, the impact on the financial statements is limited. A table showing the change and the impact on key ratios as at 1 January 2019 is presented below.

Other changed and new IFRS standards entering into force during the coming periods are not assessed as having any significant impact on the Group's financial reporting. 1 The Annual Report 2018 is available at www.dios.se.

SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE

THREE REASONS TO INVEST IN DIÖS

DIVERSIFIED PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

A comprehensive and diversified property portfolio ensures risk distribution between different markets, tenants and industries. The profit equalises over time. Our broad portfolio of properties also provides us with great opportunities to offer our tenants new premises whenever their needs or business change.

ATTRACTIVE YIELD

Since 2013, the yield has amounted to 4.8 per cent on average, which is among the highest in the industry. According to the dividend policy, approx. 50 per cent of the profit for the year after tax, excluding unrealised changes in value and deferred tax, should be passed onto the shareholders as a dividend.

VALUE GROWTH THROUGH INCREASED CASH FLOW

Since 2013, the cash flow per share has increased by 82 per cent. This is the result of effective management, energy-saving measures, profitable investments and a tenant-focused organisation.

SHARE PERFORMANCE

Diös' share price at the end of the period was SEK 68.7 (53.8), which represents a market capitalisation of SEK 9,241 million (7,230), and the return for the past 12 months was 27.8 per cent (15.3). If the dividend is included, the total return on the shares for the period was 34.0 per cent (18.3). The graph on the preceding page shows share prices for the past 12 months for both Diös and the indexes. The return on the OMX Stockholm 30 Index was 3.0 per cent (-2.7) and the return on the OMX Stockholm Real Estate PI index 30.4 per cent (3.0).

RETURN AND NET ASSET VALUE

Our goal is to generate a return on equity in excess of the risk-free rate plus 12 per cent. On an annualised basis, the return for the

period was 12 per cent (17). Equity at the end of the year was SEK 7,928 million (7,084) and the long-term net asset value, EPRA NAV, was SEK 9,236 million (8,219). On a per share basis, EPRA NAV was SEK 68.7 (61.1), which means that the share price at 30 June represented xx per cent (88) of long-term NAV. The net asset value per share for the period, expressed as EPRA NNNAV, was SEK 66.8 (59.5).

EARNINGS

Earnings per share for the period were SEK 3.63 (4.34) while longterm earnings per share, expressed as EPRA EPS, were SEK 3.15 (2.80). EPRA EPS, which is designed to show an entity's long-term earnings per share, is calculated as property management income after deducting 21.4 per cent corporation tax attributable to property management income less minority share of earnings.
