We have come to the end of a truly tumultuous three-month period. Thanks to our decisiveness, a proactive approach and engaging in close dialogue with our tenants, I can conclude that the outcome of the quarter is good based on the prevailing circumstances. We keep the momentum in our business through our diversified tenant base and our centrally located properties, and have been active with several new establishments.
Our income from property management was SEK 458 million. This is a decrease of 2 per cent, driven mainly by temporary rent discounts linked to the Swedish government's rent support scheme. Through high activity and courage, we have counteracted a revenue gap that has otherwise been larger. Our surplus ratio increased to 65 per cent thanks to lower property costs. The effects of discounted rents had a negative impact of SEK 24 million on our operating surplus for the period. The number of actual bankruptcies is relatively small, accounting for around SEK 7 million in annual rents, mainly in the consumer discretionary sector.
Covid-19 has given us a new reality to relate to, and our first priority has been on health and safety. The number of physical meetings has decreased both internally and externally, the number of people at our offices has been limited and we have expanded our digital solutions to ensure that we are able to continue to run our business in an effective manner. I would even go so far as to say that our tenant relations improved during the period despite the absence of physical meetings.
Our projects have continued as planned and are targeting to meet both increased demand for modern offices and residentials in our cities. Rental activity continues to do well with demand that, after a weak April, has come back strongly. The average contract term has increased to 3.9 years. In lettings, we have continued to perform well amid a strong resurgence in demand after a weak April. Net leasing, which includes bankruptcies, was SEK -2 million, which I believe reflects solid demand in our market, and especially sought after are centrally located offices with high quality.
The change in value for the period amouted to SEK -143 million, of which SEK -138 million is driven by lower inflation expectations, Successful lets, especially in the office segment, where vacancies have

continued to decline and rents are rising, had a positive impact on the figure while long-term market rents in certain areas of the retail segment have been revised down. Changes in yields have been marginal.
Financing requirements following SFF bond maturities in April and May as well as maturing commercial paper were met through increased bank financing, as access to capital markets was very limited during the period. The terms are attractive, indicating a high level of confidence from our banks. There are no further loan maturities in 2020. In addition to our existing loans, we have undrawn overdraft and other credit facilities of SEK 900 million.
In September, our Director of Property Management and Transactions Lars-Göran Dahl will be leaving the company. In connection therewith we will be reorganising our management team, with Sofie Stark taking over as Director of Property Management while Mats Eriksson will continue as Director of Projects with an expanded remit. Both will become part of the executive management team. Internal recruitment to senior positions shows that our leadership development initiatives are bearing fruit and will enable us to maintain our high pace of development, as both Sofie and Mats have intimate knowledge of the company.
Changed behaviours are a consequence of the pandemic. In response, we need to remain active and find relevant content to create flows of people through our cities. Our new Pick-Pack-Post business is a good example of this. I very much doubt that offices will be replaced by home working, but the redesigning of offices to create additional social areas and pressure on employers to enable employees to work away from the office are two current trends. A clear trend is rising rents for high-quality offices in central locations. The term of office rentals is currently between 3-10 years.
There is still considerable uncertainty about the future course of the pandemic and the economy. We continue to be proactive in our dialogues in order to support our tenants in the current situation. We are also in strong position financially. We have a well diversified portfolio and, above all, our employees has shown that it is possible to make a difference by taking an active approach. While remaining mindful and respectful of the challenges that lie ahead, it is clear to me, that through our unique position and ability to act, we continue to create shareholder value in many ways.

There is no dilutive effect, as no potential shares (such as convertibles) exist. The accounting policies are presented on page 22. Columns/rows may not add up due to rounding.
Property management income for the period, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 458 million (469). This is a decrease of 2 per cent compared with the previous year. For comparable properties, our property management income decreased by 3 per cent year on year. Our property management income for the period was affected by net rent discounts of SEK 24 million attributable to grants provided under the government rent support scheme. The discounts are of a non-recurring nature.
Revenue for the reporting period was SEK 928 million (922), representing a 87 per cent (90) economic occupancy rate. For comparable properties, contracted rental income decreased by 2 per cent year on year. Rental income was affected by rent discounts of SEK 34 million attributable to the government rent support scheme. Other property management income totalled SEK 24 million (17) and consisted partly of pass-through of costs to tenants for works in rented premises and SEK 10 million in estimated grants for agreed rent discounts under the government rent support scheme.

Total property costs were SEK 339 million (339). Tariff-based costs decreased year on year as a result of lower winter-related costs while costs for property tax increased due to revised assessed values. Of the total property costs, SEK 7 million (7) refers to work on leased premises where the costs are passed on to tenants.
The operating surplus was SEK 589 million (583), representing a surplus ratio of 65 per cent (64). For comparable properties, our operating surplus decreased by 1 per cent compared with the previous year.
The central administration costs amounted to SEK 36 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 for the period were SEK -95 million (-79). The interest costs for the period, including costs for interest rate derivatives and loan commitments, represent borrowings at an average annual interest rate of 1.4 per cent (1.2). The net financial expense increased due to a higher Stibor-90 rate and increased interest-bearing liabilities while reduced bank margins offset the increase in costs.
The average valuation yield at the end of the period was 5.86 per cent (5.91). At a portfolio level, this represents a change of -0.03 percentage points since year-end. The unrealised change in


The figures for property management income, operating surplus and surplus ratio in Q2 2020 are on a rolling 12-month basis.
value was SEK -143 million (131). The change in value is to 97 per cent explained by a changed inflation assumption that has a negative impact on projected net operating income. The inflation assumption has been adjusted by our external valuation consultant Savills to reflect current and forecast inflation outcomes. Increases in net operating income in our office and residential segments that have a positive impact are offset by reduced market values in some parts of the retail segment due to increased uncertainty and the risk of reduced cash flows. The change in value represented -0.6 per cent (0.6) of market value. At 30 June, the market value was SEK 23,506 million (21,845).
During the period, 0 properties (5) were sold, resulting in a realised change in value of SEK 0 million (0), and 2 properties (6) were acquired.
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 has not been realised and does not affect cash flow.
During the period, unrealised changes in value on derivatives totalled SEK 0 million (1), which have been fully recognised in the income statement.
The profit before tax was SEK 315 million (606). The lower profit is mainly due to reduced unrealised property values compared with the previous year.
The profit after tax was SEK 246 million (493). Current tax totalled SEK -37 million (-41). This is mainly attributable to tax in subsidiaries which do not have the right to offset losses against Group contributions. The deferred tax was SEK -32 million (-72). The change in deferred tax is due to the negative unrealised change in value.

Property management income for the second quarter, i.e. income excluding changes in value and tax, was SEK 229 million (257). The operating surplus was SEK 299 million (315), representing a surplus ratio of 69 per cent (69).
Net financial items for the second quarter were SEK -51 million (-40). The profit before tax was SEK 75 million (329). Changes in the value of properties had a negative impact of SEK -153 million (71) while changes in the value of interest rate derivatives had an impact of SEK -1 million (0). Earnings after tax were SEK 57 million (263), of which SEK 1 million (-48) refers to deferred tax and SEK -19 million (-18) to current 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 (0). The Group also has untaxed reserves of SEK 420 million (310). The fair value of the properties exceeds their tax base by SEK 7,136 million (6,604), less SEK 3,811 million (3,760) 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 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.

Our tenant base is well diversified geographically and in terms of industry. The number of commercial leases was 2,876 (2,981). The number of residential leases was 1,761 (1,713). The ten largest tenants represent 17 per cent (16) of Diös' total contracted rental income. At 30 June, 27 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 was SEK 29 million (13) for the period as a whole and SEK -2 million (7) for the second quarter. Noteworthy lets during the period included those to the Social Insurance Agency in the Sigrid 11 property in Borlänge and to Yrkesakademin AB in Holmen 8, Falun.

10 DIÖS FASTIGHETER AB Interim report January–June 2020 Diös tenant DoSpace, Elin Bogren, site manager, and Daniel Jansson Westblom, letting agent, Norr 31:9 in Gävle.

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 92 per cent (93) commercial properties and 8 per cent (7) residential properties based on rental value by type of premises.
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 71 per cent of the property value, or SEK 16,760 million, and 126 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 21,743 million – SEK 25,269 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. For more information, see Note 11 in the Annual Report 2019.

Our investments in our existing portfolio comprise new builds, conversions and extensions as well as energy-saving measures. The investments result in a higher occupancy rate, increased customer satisfaction, lower costs and a reduced impact on the environment. During the period, SEK 726 million (583) was invested in a total of 699 projects (617). At the end of the period, 26 major1 projects were ongoing, with a remaining investment volume of SEK 1,737 million and a total investment volume of SEK 2,795 million. During the period, decisions were taken on 160 new investments. The return on completed investments for the period was 7.9 per cent on the invested amount while the return on our ongoing projects, excluding new builds, was 7.3 per cent.

PROJECTS IN PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
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 approximately 100,000 sq.m. The estimated investment volume for ongoing and identified projects is around SEK 5,000 million.
During the first quarter, work began on the Swedish Transport Administration's head office at Intagan 1 in Borlänge. During the second quarter of 2020, we initiated the construction of a new build for the Swedish Police Authority on the Stigbygeln 2 property in Umeå. The project for Dalarna University at Mimer 1 in Borlänge is expected to start in the second half of 2020.
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.

During the second quarter, one property received environmental certification under BREEAM In-Use and two other properties are currently being certified. Our target for 2020 is to certify 12 new properties under the BREEAM In-Use environmental certification scheme. We now have 36 properties certified under the Miljöbyggnad and BREEAM In-Use standards, which represents 18 per cent of the total area of the property portfolio.
We have set ourselves the long-term objective of saving energy and we aim to have reduced our energy consumption by 15 per cent by the end of 2022. During the period we reported a 3 per cent reduction, which shows that we are on the right track. In order to achieve our long-term goal, we will increase the number of improvements we make and new systems we install during 2020 and 2021.
To reduce our environmental impact, we only buy origin-labelled electricity from renewable sources. A total of 98 per cent of the energy we buy comes from non-fossil energy production.

Interest-bearing liabilities in the Group were SEK 12,815 million (11,782). Of total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 11,336 million (8,982) referred to bank financing, SEK 419 million (1,240) to covered bonds and SEK 1,060 million (1 560) to commercial paper.

Out of the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities, SEK 2,250 million (4,000) has been hedged through derivatives. At 30 June 2020, the market value of the derivative portfolio was SEK 0 million (0). The financial

instruments limit the impact of changes in interest rates on our average borrowing cost. 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 22 in the Annual Report 2019). Changes in value are recognised in the income statement.

The interim reports uses non-IFRS KPIs. 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 KPIs in the annual report for 2019. The financial targets for 2020 adopted by the Board are presented on page 23 of this report. Figures refer to SEK million unless otherwise indicated.

During the year, ESMA has issued new directives relating to the reporting of new KPIs. The EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV KPIs have been replaced by the EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV KPIs. Below both the old and the new KPIs are reported to indicate the transition in accordance with EPRA's guidelines. The aim of this is to show the company's value on the basis of different scenarios. For more information, see the definitions on page 27.

The number of employees on 30 June 2020 was 160 (158), of whom 66 were women (64). The majority of our employees, 106 people (105), work in our business units and the rest at our head office in Östersund.
Our new Pick-Pack-Post concept, which is aimed at creating a better, more modern and more efficient experience of parcel management and store operation, currently employs 4 people (women).
The business will be affected by Covid-19 in both the short and the long term. Our assessment is that the risk of doubtful debts and bad debts has increased in the short term. Tenants in particularly vulnerable sectors, such as hotels, cafés, restaurants and stores selling consumer durables, have a reduced turnover and a lower footfall, which affects their ability to make payments and their liquidity. This in turn increases the risk of them stopping or postponing their rent payments. A shortage of workers because of illness or caring responsibilities and a lack of materials may have an impact on our projects and result in them being delayed and/or becoming more costly. In the longer term, a reduction in economic activity and rising unemployment could affect the demand for commercial premises, which in turn could have a negative impact on rents and property values and also lead to an increase in long-term vacancies and a negative effect on financing covenants. New financing and refinancing may become more difficult and/or more expensive, as access to bank and capital market financing could be limited. During the period, we issued SEK 615 million in commercial paper.
Measures have been taken to manage certain effects of Covid-19 which could have the following impact on us:
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 market 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 KPIs. Any significant negative impact is managed through a diversified portfolio of centrally located properties in growth cities.

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.

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 occurred since the publication of the annual report for 2019, except the risks relating to Covid-19 described above. For more information on risks and risk management, see Diös' annual report for 2019, pages 60-62, 76 and 80.
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.
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.
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 p 16a are provided elsewhere in the interim report and not in a note. All property-related transactions in the second quarter have been recognised based on calculations of the preliminary consideration. The calculation of the final consideration will be completed in the third quarter of 2020. The rent discounts agreed with tenants in accordance with the directives on government rent support for property owners as well as other support schemes are recognised in the income statement in the same periods as the costs which the grants are intended to compensate for. 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 20191 , Note 1.
Other changed and new IFRS standards that enter into force during the year or the coming periods are not assessed as having any significant impact on the consolidated reports and financial statements.

As the market-leading private property owner in our cities, we are in a strong position to influence things. Through close relations with decisionsmakers and other players, we drive growth. This growth is reflected in higher rents, rising market values and reduced vacancies. A diversified portfolio of centrally located properties provides flexibility and the option of converting properties if demand changes.

Since 2013, the cash flow per share has increased by 80 per cent. A well diversified portfolio and a good mix of tenants generate stable revenue streams. A total of 27 per cent of our revenue comes from the public sector.

By developing new and existing premises, we increase the value of our properties and boost our cash flow, but above all we create a greater flow of people in the city. This creates attractive spaces that have a positive impact on neighbouring businesses. We have 100,000 sq.m of gross floor space under construction and a further 100,000 sq.m in the early stages of development.
