CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW

Knut Rost, CEO

A UNIQUE POSITION

We continue to deliver. Revenue is up and both operating and financial costs are under control. With our strong cash flow, we are investing for continued growth in our cities.

Property management income increased by 13 per cent. Rental income per square metre has increased by 7 per cent in one year as a result of a refined property portfolio, rising rental levels and a reduced proportion of industrial properties in favour of centrally located office and social-use properties. The costs for the first quarter are lower and more normal compared to the same quarter last year.

We are seeing an ever clearer polarisation emerge, which means that our property managers and letting agents really need to be active. Strong demand for the right locations is driving rents and the right mix of tenants is absolutely crucial. Thanks to our unique position, we have exactly what it takes to create growth, for our tenants and for the city. The let of our head office to Webhelp, a fast expanding company, is a prime example. We enable a business to establish a presence that will create new jobs while investing in a new office for ourselves in vacant premises. The end result is increased flows of people and increased growth – compleatly in line with our urban development strategy.

We have a clearer profile as a company and our position in our cities is becoming ever stronger. During the period, we acquired four properties in the most central locations, in four cities. We see a big potential to develop these premises in a way that will further increase the attractiveness of the city centre.

The SEK 316 million investment volume is a new record for an individual quarter. That testifies to a high level of activity and shows that demand for adaptations from our tenants remains good. During the period, we also initiated one of our major new build projects, the hotel in Sundsvall. The first sod was turned on 1 March and the building is expected to take about two years to complete. A total of SEK 385 million will be invested.

The development of Gustav III´s square in central Östersund has taken a step forward after the local authority decided to grant us sole negotiating rights in respect of a 25,000 sq.m plot. That is a big responsibility but it is also a huge and unique opportunity. It involves creating a place, in a responsible and long-term manner, that will encourage an increased flow of people and increased quality. The square is there for everyone and needs to enable growth and make the city more attractive.

The loans which matured at the end of March have been refinanced at maturities of 2–4 years with continued good terms. We also took advantage of the strong demand to issue new commercial paper during the period. Access to capital remains good and pricing has remained stable since last year. Stronger key financial ratios have attracted increased interest from banks and the capital market.

Business is done between people, and it is my conviction that better relations lead to increased and profitable business. A genuine interest in our tenants' businesses and success is a mantra that I repeat every day to our staff.

Our urban development strategy is about growth. We want to make life in the city better for everyone. To succeed, we need to know what is being demanded across the whole range of stakeholders, from residents to visitors to the city. We have the will to push things forward together with our tenants, the local authority, other property owners and other stakeholders. Growth drives profitability and value – for our tenants, our shareholders and ourselves.

There is no dilutive eff ect, as no potential shares (such as convertibles) exist. Accounting policies are presented on page 21.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT INCOME

Property management income for the period, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 212 million (187). This is an increase of 13 per cent compared with the previous year. For comparable properties, our property management income increased by 13 per cent year on year.

INCOME

Income for the reporting period was SEK 457 million (450), representing a 91 per cent (92) economic occupancy rate. For comparable properties, contracted rental income increased by 2.3 per cent year on year. Other property management income totalled SEK 7 million (5) and consisted mainly of costs for work in leased premises that are passed on to tenants.

PROPERTY COSTS

Total property costs were SEK 189 million (200). Winterrelated costs decreased compared with the same period last year, which is due to a milder winter. Of total property costs, SEK 4 million (3) refers to work in leased premises for which the costs are passed on to tenants.

OPERATING SURPLUS

The operating surplus was SEK 268 million (250), representing a surplus ratio of 60 per cent (56). For comparable properties, our operating surplus increased by 7.4 per cent compared with the previous year.

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION

The central administration expense was SEK 17 million (17). 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 -39 million (-46). The interest costs for the period, including costs for interest rate derivatives and loan commitments, represent borrowings at an average annual interest rate of 1.3 per cent (1.5).

CHANGES IN VALUE, PROPERTIES

The average valuation yield at the end of the period was 5.92 per cent (6.04). At portfolio level, this represents a change of -0.05 percentage points since year-end. The positive value change of SEK 60 million (109) is mainly attributable to a higher net operating income. The change in value represented 0.3 per cent (0.6) of market value. At 31 March, the market value was SEK 21,479 million (19,739).

During the period, 5 properties (4) were sold, resulting in a realised change in value of SEK 5 million (-3), and 5 properties (2) were acquired.

OPERATING SURPLUS AND SURPLUS RATIO

1The figures for property management income, operating surplus and surplus ratio in Q1 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 0 million (6), which have been fully recognised in the income statement.

PROFIT BEFORE TAX

The profit before tax was SEK 277 million (299). The improvement in earnings is mainly due to higher property values and increased revenue.

PROFIT AFTER TAX

The profit after tax was SEK 230 million (229). The current tax expense is SEK -23 million (-17) 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 -24 million (-53) after a positive effect from restatement of deferred tax after the corporate tax rate was changed from 22 per cent to 20.6 per cent.

AVERAGE INTEREST RATE

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 was low.

The remaining tax loss carry-forwards are estimated at SEK 0 million (15). The Group also has untaxed reserves of SEK 245 million (148). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax base by SEK 6,438 million (5,495), less SEK 3,760 million (3,502). The tax liability has been calculated based on the tax rate applying at the time when the tax consequence is expected to arise.

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 law means that the possibility of deducting interest expense declines, and the income tax will gradually be reduced. With our strong cash flow combined with historically low interest rates will have small effects on paid tax under the new law, provided that an effective group equalization of net interest income can occur. If interest rates were to rise it would have a negative impact (assuming cash flow remains unchanged).

TENANTS

Our tenant base is well diversifi ed geographically and in terms of industry. Th e number of commercial leases was 2,973 (3,044). Th e number of residential leases was 1,704 (1,632). Th e ten largest tenants represent 15.8 per cent (15.6) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 31 March, 26 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 6 million (-1). Net leasing increased during the period as a result of a number of major lets. Noteworthy lets during the period included those to the Swedish Transport Administration, Östermalm 6:16, Luleå, Webhelp AB, Kommunalmannen 4, Östersund and Falun Local Authority, Holmen 8, Falun.

10 DIÖS FASTIGHETER AB INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–MARCH 2019

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 19,868-23,090 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 are continuously investing in our portfolio to improve, adapt and improve the efficiency of our premises for our tenants. Our investments added SEK 316 million (164) to the value of the property portfolio in the first quarter.

IMPROVEMENTS

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 316 million (164) was invested in 550 projects (476). At the end of the period, 43 major1 improvement projects were ongoing, with a remaining investment volume of SEK 370 million and a total investment volume of SEK 754 million. In the quarter, decisions were taken on 74 new investments. The return on completed investments for the period was 8.9 per cent on the invested amount while the return on our ongoing projects was 8.3 per cent. 1 Initial investment volume > SEK 4 million.

NEW BUILDS

Our existing and potential development rights cover a gross area of over 150,000 square metres, of which around 50 per cent refers to development rights for residential properties and 50 per cent refers to development rights for commercial properties. Among these, Diös has identified various types of projects with a total estimated investment volume of around SEK 4,000 million.

The Falan 20 residential property project is ongoing and is expected to be completed in spring 2019. The Riverside hotel project in Sundsvall has been initiated, with preparatory work underway on the underground car park on which the hotel will stand. Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2019. Construction of the hotel project on the Magne 4 property in Umeå commenced in the first quarter of 2019.

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 first quarter was down by 5 per cent.

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

CERTIFICATIONS

Eight BREEAM In-Use certification processes were initiated during the period. 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 23 properties certified under the Miljöbyggnad, BREEAM In-Use and GreenBuilding standards, which represents 11 per cent of the total area of the property portfolio.

At 31 March, equity was SEK 8,069 million (7,116). Th e equity ratio was 36.9 per cent (35.3), which exceeds the target of 35 per cent.

INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

Interest-bearing liabilities in the Group were SEK 11,349 million (11,186). Of total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 8,859 million (9,180) refers to bank fi nancing, SEK 1,240 million (1,206) to covered bonds and SEK 1,250 million (800) to commercial paper. Th e loanto-value ratio in the Group was 52.8 per cent (56.7) at the end of the period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Out of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 4,000 million (4,600) has been hedged through derivatives. At 31 March 2019, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK 0 million (-10). Th e fi nancial instruments limit the impact of changes in interest rates on our average borrowing cost. Th e value of derivatives is always zero at maturity. All fi nancial instruments are measured at fair value and are classifi ed 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 profi t 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 34 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.

EMPLOYEES AND ORGANISATION

The number of employees on 31 March 2019 was 157 (157), of whom 63 were women (63). The majority of our employees, 105 people (105), work in our business units and the rest at our head office in Östersund. As of January 2019, Skellefteå has been a separate business unit, which means that Diös now has seven business units.

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, % 31.9 36.9 41.2
Loan-to-value ratio, % 57.1 52.8 49.2

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 second quarter of 2019. The accounting policies applied in preparing the interim report are consistent with the accounting policies applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements and annual accounts for 20181 , Note 1.

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 car 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 car 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 car 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.

SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE

THREE REASONS TO INVEST IN DIÖS

DIVERSIFIED PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

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

AN 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 profi t for the year after tax, excluding unrealised changes in value and deferred tax, should be passed onto the shareholders as a dividend.
