Interim report January−September 2020

The real estate business continues to develop positively. Profit from property management increased by 83 per cent as a result of a larger property portfolio and higher occupancy rate. In the third quarter, unrealised value changes to the holding in Melon Fashion Group (MFG) amounted to EUR 8.7m.

The period January–September 2020

  • Rental income increased by 52 per cent to EUR 13,936k (9,187). The increase is primarily attributable to a larger property portfolio, but also due to a higher rent level and higher occupancy rate. Rental income in a comparable portfolio increased by 6 per cent.
  • Net operating income increased by 53 per cent to EUR 12,514k (8,196).
  • Profit from property management increased by 83 per cent to EUR 6,951k (3,790).
  • Unrealised value changes amounted to EUR -6,826k (11,587). Of the change, EUR 2,386k (6,294) is attributable to real estate, EUR -8,539k (7,000) to investments and EUR -673k (-1,707) to derivatives.
  • Profit/loss for the period amounted to EUR -1,349k (15,691), corresponding to EUR -0.06 per share (0.74).
  • The average rent level amounted to EUR 14.8 per sq.m. per month (14.7) and the occupancy rate to 94.2 per cent (92.7). Net letting amounted to EUR -898k. The average rent level on newly signed agreements amounted to EUR 15.9 per sq.m. per month, and renegotiated agreements to EUR 15.3.

Q3

Strong third quarter for Eastnine

Eastnine delivers a strong third quarter, in the property management business as well as in other investments. A larger property portfolio has a clear impact on profitability, and the company's continued growth is a key goal. According to the new business plan, the property portfolio is to double and amount to EUR 700m by the end of 2023.

Strong results development

Eastnine delivers a strong operating profit for the third quarter and the nine-month period. Revenues rose by 59 per cent during the third quarter compared to the same period last year. At the same time, profit from property management increased by as much as 84 per cent. The first nine months of the year showed the same tendency. The fact that we have been able to grow our property portfolio by 76 per cent in one year evidently has a positive impact on profitability in the real estate operations.

The coronavirus pandemic has, thus far at least, had a very limited impact on our earnings. Our focus on modern and sustainable offices, as well as on Nordic tenants with international operations, confers stability. During the first quarter of 2020, Eastnine revalued the holdings in MFG as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, which, together with a weakened ruble, resulted in a negative unrealised value change. In the third quarter, the holdings have been revalued upwards.

Lithuania best in EU at weathering the crisis

The Baltics overall have weathered the effects of the coronavirus pandemic considerably better than most EU countries. Case rates have been lower, and the economies have fared better. There are, however, differences between the countries in which Eastnine operates too. The Lithuanian economy displayed notable strength, with a GDP decline of only 3.8 per cent, compared to the same period 2019. This is less than half the size of the GDP decline in Sweden. Latvia's decline is more on par with Sweden, but still clearly smaller than most European countries. We also see that the demand for premises continues to be healthy in Vilnius and rent levels are stable, while demand in Riga is generally weaker.

New business plan

The Board of Eastnine has decided on a new business plan which extends to the end of 2023. The target is that the property portfolio shall double during that period, reaching EUR 700m by the end of 2023. This growth shall be conducted in an orderly fashion and serve the purpose of giving shareholders a sustainable, attractive total return. The dividend shall, over time, amount to at least 50 per cent of the profit from property management, and the return on equity shall be at least 10 per cent in the long term.

The establishment of the new targets, which begins with and builds on the real estate business, is possible thanks to the considerable progress Eastnine has made in the process of focusing the company purely on the real estate business. The real estate assets amount at the end of the period to 78 per cent of all assets in the company. At the same time, risk mitigation targets such as the loan-to-value ratio and equity/asset ratio have been tightened. The loan-to-value ratio may maximally amount to 60 per cent and the equity/asset ratio shall amount

to at least 35 per cent. The loan-to-value ratio is presently 49 per cent and equity/asset ratio 57 per cent. Other investments are unleveraged, meaning that the net lending is considerably lower.

Advantages of growth

Acquiring a larger property portfolio is not an end goal in itself. It's the advantages that a larger property portfolio confers that are desirable. A larger company garners greater attention from tenants and gives us the ability to satisfy their needs in a better way. Growth also results in economies of scale, something that we have already noticed in 2020. Fixed costs are distributed on a larger property volume, meaning that the efficiency increases and profitable improves. As a larger company, we will also be able to improve the terms of our financing through e.g. better access to capital markets.

Sustainable Eastnine

Lastly, but not least, I want to draw your attention to our sustainability efforts, which constitute a central part of our business. We are happy to see that these ambitious and goaloriented efforts are paying off. We are ranked in the top third in the Allbright Foundation's comparison of gender equality in Swedish listed companies. During the third quarter, we launched a green financing framework which obtained the highest grade, Dark Green and Excellent, from CICERO. This is an assessment which only a handful, very large real estate companies in Sweden, have achieved. A full 87 per cent of the portfolio has, at the beginning of October, obtained sustainability certificates on the level of BREEAM Excellent or LEED Platinum. We are determined to make our property management fully climate-neutral by 2030 and are working systematically to drive green initiatives in the Baltics. In this area, particularly, we see that there is still much left to do in our business area, and our efforts are making a noticeable difference already.

Kestutis Sasnauskas CEO

Our property portfolio is to grow to EUR 700m by the end of 2023

Effects of the coronavirus pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has had a limited impact on Eastnine's property operations. Granted rent reductions are small, the loss of rent payments minor and the property value has, after an initial decline, recovered. The same is true for Eastnine's holding in MFG which, after a decline in value during the first quarter, is back at the same level in ruble at the end of the third quarter as at the end of 2019, although at a lower level in euro due to currency effects.

Rental income

Q3

Eastnine has a robust tenant structure. The majority of Eastnine's tenants are large Nordic companies with international operations. The average remaining lease term of the ten largest tenants is 4.4 years, corresponding to 4.6 years across the entire portfolio. 95 per cent of the premises are offices.

Eastnine's lease rents are chiefly due on a monthly basis, meaning that any issues that tenants may have in paying rent are quickly identified. Eastnine has granted reductions totalling around EUR 152k, corresponding to 0.8 per cent of total annual rent for premises (excluding Vertas-2 which was taken into possession at the end of September).

Financing

Eastnine has good liquidity and a high equity/asset ratio. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 14m, unutilised credit facilities to EUR 3m and the equity/asset ratio to 57 per cent at the end of the period.

The loan-to-value ratio amounted to 49 per cent, capital tie-up period to 3.2 years, and the fixed interest term to 2.5 years. No loans are maturing in 2020. The first loan maturation, comprising EUR 14.6m, occurs in September 2021. Financing is distributed between three of the larger banks in the Baltics. The company has no capital market financing.

Transaction and property valuation

A general market anxiety has meant reduced transaction volumes, although there has been somewhat more activity during the third quarter. Up until February, property yields on offices were heading to record-low levels on our markets. At the end of June, a larger office transaction took place in Tallinn, and in the third quarter, a larger office transaction in Riga as well as Eastnine's acquisition of an office property in Vilnius. All these transactions indicate continued stability in the market.

100 per cent of Eastnine's property portfolio has been externally valued as of 31 March 2020 and internally valued as of 30 June. In the third quarter, four properties were externally valued and the remaining internally valued.

During the period January–September, the unrealised value changes amounted to 0.8 per cent. The first quarter resulted in negative unrealised value changes relating to the coronavirus pandemic, the second quarter positive value changes due to e.g. rising rent levels. In the third quarter, the unrealised value changes in properties was close to zero.

Melon Fashion Group

Eastnine's associated company MFG has performed very well after the initial negative effect of the coronavirus pandemic during the spring, when all stores were closed. The stores started to open back up in June and at present all stores are open. Turnover in e-commerce has more than doubled and the total sales exceed that of the previous year, despite the closure during the spring. The closures also affected the valuation of Eastnine's holdings negatively. But the strong sales development that followed has contributed to a positive unrealised value change during the third quarter of EUR 8.7m. During the whole period January– September, the unrealised value changes amount to EUR -9.7m, due to a weakening of the ruble toward the euro.

Staff

The health and safety of our staff is a priority. Eastnine follows the official guidelines concerning the work and the employees in the countries in which we operate. The Company has recommended all employees, using public transport to and from work, to work from home as much as possible given their duties. In the Baltics as well as in Sweden, the majority of employees worked in the offices at the end of September. Physical meetings and business travel are avoided if possible.

Community initiatives

Eastnine ordered 230 meals per day through the month of April and the first half of May to be delivered to staff caring for Covid-19 patients at Vilnius university hospital. The meals have been delivered by three restaurants that are Eastnine tenants.

Market

Q3

The Baltic countries have largely lifted the restrictions previously imposed, and the Baltic economies have thus far coped with the coronavirus pandemic better than most other countries in Europe. The rental market for offices has been stable and the office transactions that have taken place since the onset of the pandemic indicate that the transaction markets continues to be strong.

Market development

The Baltics have shown resilience since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. GDP declines have been smaller and the recovery faster than in the rest of Europe. While the economy in the Euro area as a whole shrank by 13.7 per cent during the second quarter, compared to the previous year, GDP sank by 6.9 per cent in Estonia, 9.8 per cent in Latvia and only 3.8 per cent in Lithuania. Tourism is relatively speaking a smaller sector in the Baltics, but the spread of infection was also limited at an early stage, and consumers therefore returned quickly. In Lithuania, a more advantageous export structure and broad stimulus packages contributed to the recession's mildness and to a fast recovery.

The economic uncertainty has decreased, but is still considerable. In particular as the spread of the coronavirus, just as in the rest of Europe, has increased in the Baltics during the autumn.

Rental market

The office market has fared well during the pandemic. Offices have generally been kept open, even if many companies have opted to allow staff to work from home at times. Owners of hotel and retail properties as well as property developers have, however, been negatively impacted due to the lockdowns and general market anxiety. Vacancy rates for offices were at the end of the period, according to Colliers, at 5.5 per cent in Vilnius, 20.8 per cent in Riga and 8.1 per cent in Tallinn. Vilnius and Tallinn enjoy a good balance between supply and demand. Riga, on the other hand, currently has an oversupply of premises as a

result of the completion of several projects, e.g. Z-Towers, BusinessGarden,HenrihsJaunā Teika andOrigoOne.

Rent levels in Lithuania and Tallinn have been unchanged during the year, while Latvia exhibits a weak development. The office market in Vilnius has a particular dynamic, where considerable demand is generated from international tenants taking note of the advantages of lower costs. There is nothing at present that indicates that the situation will change during 2020.

Transaction market

After two record-breaking years with property transactions amounting to around a billion EUR per year in the Baltics, the total transaction volume is expected to sink in 2020, largely due to uncertainty and travel restrictions. The activity and price-setting in the office segment has however remained stable. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, three larger office transactions have been announced in the Baltics: SEB's head office in Tallinn, Citadele banka's head office in Riga and Eastnine's acquisition of Vilniaus Vartai (Vertas-2) in Vilnius. During the period, two acquisitions that were previously announced in Vilnius were completed, one of which was Eastnine's acquisition of S7-3.

A functioning credit market is key to ensuring the functioning of the transaction market. In direct conjunction with the outbreak of the virus in the spring, parts of the banking sector focused more on handling existing credits rather than granting new ones. After the summer, the situation has normalised somewhat for lenders with low risk profiles.

GDP, ANNUAL PERCENTUAL CHANGE INFLATION, ANNUAL PERCENTUAL CHANGE

The period January–September 2020

Rental income increased during the period due to a larger property portfolio, higher occupancy rates and higher rent levels. The property value increased mainly through acquisitions of new properties. After the considerable negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Eastnine's associated company, MFG, during the spring, the fashion chain now exhibits a very positive development. The value of the MFG holding has decreased during the period as measured in euro, but increased in ruble.

Rental income

Q3

The income, which is entirely composed of rental income, increased by 52 per cent during the period to EUR 13,936k (9,187), primarily due to a larger property portfolio, but also due to a higher occupancy rate and higher rent levels. The properties S7-3 and Vertas-2, which were acquired during the period, are taken up in the figures from the end of June and the end of September, respectively. Rental income in a comparable portfolio increased, due to a higher average occupancy rate and higher rent level, by 6 per cent compared to the same period in 2019. In the third quarter, the increase amounted to 5 per cent. Average rent level in the property portfolio increased to EUR 14.8 per sq.m. per month at the end of the period, compared to EUR 14.7 at the end of 2019. New lease agreements have been signed at an average level of EUR 15.9 per sq.m. per month, and renegotiations at EUR 15.3 per sq.m. Net letting during the period amounted to EUR -898k and during the third quarter to EUR 1k.

Property expenses

Property expenses rose by 43 per cent to EUR -1,422k (-991) due to a larger real estate portfolio.

Earnings

Net operating income was EUR 12,514k (8,196), and the surplus ratio amounted to 90 per cent (89). The high surplus ratio is attributable to the fact that a majority of the tenants, in addition to rent, also pay for e.g. electricity, heating, cooling, water and wastewater, as well as repairs, maintenance and property management. The increase in net operating income of 53 per cent is chiefly related to

acquisitions. Central administration expenses amounted to EUR -2,681k (-2,689) and profit from property management increased by 83 per cent to EUR 6,951k (3,790). Unrealised value changes in properties amounted to EUR 2,386k (6,294). Unrealised value changes in investments amounted to EUR -8,539k (7,000), of which EUR -9,716k (5,160) is attributable to MFG and EUR 1,177k (1,840) to fund investments. Unrealised value changes in derivatives amounted to EUR -673k (-1,707). No realised value changes or dividends have been received during the period (EUR 1,638k). Profit before tax amounted to EUR 125k (17,015) and the net profit-loss for the period to EUR -1,349k (15,691).

Segment Reporting

The Real Estate Direct segment, comprising the directly owned property subsidiaries, generated a profit before tax of EUR 9,902k (9,763) during the period. The Real Estate Funds segment, comprising the East Capital Baltic Property Fund II, generated a profit before tax of EUR 1,177k (2,545). The Other segment, comprising the holding in MFG, generated a profit before tax of EUR -9,716k (6,094). The MFG business has, after an initial negative effect from the coronavirus pandemic, developed well. The unrealised value change in MFG during the first nine months of the year are entirely a consequence of the weaker ruble against the euro. The underlying value in ruble has increased during the period.

Unallocated central administration expenses and other operating expenses amounted to EUR -2,712k (-2,711). Profit before tax amounted to EUR 125k (17,015) and the net profitloss for the period to EUR -1,349k (15,691).

Financing

Q3

Liabilities to credit institutions amounted to EUR 174,679k (137,771) at the end of the period, corresponding to a loan-tovalue ratio of 49 per cent (47). Unutilised credit facilities amounted to EUR 3,000k (23,700), and referred entirely to an unutilised overdraft facility. The average interest rate at the end of the period amounted to 2.3 per cent (2.3) and the share of liabilities to credit institutions with fixed interest was 75 per cent (79), of which 100 per cent (100) was fixed using swaps.

At the end of the period, the average capital tie-up period on liabilities to credit institutions was 3.2 years (3.5). Average fixed interest term was 2.5 years (3.1). The derivatives are measured at fair value and the change in value is recognised through profit or loss, with no effect on cash flow. At the end of the period, the fair value of derivatives was EUR -2,636k (-1,963). At the end of the term, the value is always zero.

Tax

The tax expenses for the period amounted to EUR -1,474k (-1,324), all of which relates to deferred tax in Lithuania where a corporate income tax of 15 per cent is applied. The stated deferred tax liability is primarily attributable to the difference between the stated value of properties and their tax value, as well as tax losses carried forward. No corporate income tax is paid in Estonia or Latvia, where a 20 per cent corporate income tax is levied only on distributed profits.

Financial position and net asset value

Equity amounted to EUR 261,502k (268,192) and the equity/asset ratio to 57 per cent (64). Long-term net asset value per share was EUR 12.9 (13.1) corresponding to 135 SEK per share (137). Equity per share was EUR 12.4 (12.7) corresponding to 130 SEK per share (133).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to EUR 7,147k (5,584) for the period. Change in working capital was EUR -560k (-1,795). Investment activities had an impact of EUR -64,309k (-40,149). Financing activities had an impact of EUR 34,133k (11,853). Total cash flow amounted to EUR -23,588k (-24,507). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 13,804k (40,596) at the end of the period.

Property portfolio

The property portfolio consisted of around 121,000 sq.m. lettable area in Vilnius and Riga after Vertas-2 in Vilnius, comprising around 7,200 sq.m., was taken into possession during the third quarter. Property value increased by around EUR 67m during the period, primarily due to acquisitions. The occupancy rate was 94.2 per cent.

Property portfolio

Q3

Eastnine's property portfolio consists of modern office properties in two of the three Baltic capitals. At the end of the period, the portfolio consisted of eleven investment properties. Total lettable area amounted to around 121,000 sq.m. and the market value to EUR 357,000k.

At the end of the period, the occupancy rate was 94.2 per cent (92.7). Compared with the end of the previous year, the occupancy rate has risen by 1.5 percentage points. During the third quarter, however, the occupancy rate declined somewhat.

There are currently no ongoing development projects in Eastnine's portfolio. Two projects, The Pine and Kimmel, both in Riga, are currently in the planning stages. The Pine obtained the first of two building permits during the third quarter. The final building permit is expected around the turn of the year 2020/2021.

Vilnius

Eastnine's property portfolio in central Vilnius consisted on 30 September of seven properties with a total lettable area of 101,137 sq.m., which is estimated to correspond to a market share of 12 per cent of the office market in the city. The combined property value in Vilnius on 30 September 2020 was EUR 293,740k.

The S7-3 property, of around 14,500 sq.m., was taken into possession at the end of June and Vertas-2, of around 7,200 sq.m., at the end of September.

Riga

Eastnine's property portfolio in central Riga consists of four properties with a total lettable area of 19,970 sq.m., corresponding to 3 per cent of the market share of the estimated office market. The properties Kimmel and Alojas Kvartals are expected to undergo significant development in the future. The combined property value in Latvia was EUR 63,200k on 30 September 2020.

Eastnine has around 170 lease agreements with around 120 tenants. The majority of Eastnine's rents are due monthly. Danske Bank is the largest tenant with 27 per cent of total annual rent. The ten largest tenants lease around 78,700 sq.m. at a total annual rent of EUR 13,792k. The average remaining lease term for the ten largest tenants amounted to 4.4 years, and for all tenants to 4.6 years.

Investments

Eastnine completed the acquisition of S7-3 at the end of June and of Vertas-2 at the end of September. S7-3 comprises around 14,500 sq.m. and the purchase price amounted to around EUR 42.4m. Vertas-2 comprises around 7,200 sq.m. and the purchase price amounted to EUR 20.0m.

Value changes in properties

The fair value of the properties increased during the period, chiefly due to acquisitions. The value at the end of the period was EUR 356,940k (290,256). Unrealised value changes

LARGEST TENANTS

amounted to EUR 2,386k (6,294), corresponding to 0.8 per cent (4.0) of opening property values. The unrealised value change has, during the period, been affected positively as a result of the purchase consideration for S7-3 being reduced as compensation for lost profits due to a delay in possession being taken and a somewhat lower yield requirement. At the same time, lower inflation forecasts and market rents as well as expected minor rent losses, as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, has had a negative impact on the value change.

Valuation model

Q3

Eastnine has changed its valuation model as of the first quarter of 2020. The new valuation model is based on the present values of future cash flows (net operating income less remaining investments) calculated for a five to ten-year calculation period. The cash-flow determinations with a longer calculation period than five years is normally applied to properties with only one or a handful of tenants with long lease terms, where the cash flow is more predictable. In conjunction with the change of valuation model, all properties were externally valued as of 31 March 2020. In the second quarter all properties were internally valued, and in the third quarter four out of eleven properties have been externally valued while the remaining were internally valued. All external valuations were carried out by Colliers, except the property Vertas-2, which was acquired at the end of the period and was valued by Newsec. Internal valuations are carried out using the same valuation method as Colliers uses in its valuations.

Eastnine normally orders an external valuation of its properties at least once over a rolling 12-month period. In between external valuations, the properties are internally valued at the turn of each quarter.

Inflation, discount rate, yield requirements and longterm vacancy are significant parameters in the valuation model. Inflation is based on the market forecast both in the short and long term, where a long-term inflation normally corresponds to a country's inflation target. The discount rate and yield requirement is based on estimations of the market return requirement for similar investment objects, with the addition of risks related to real estate, such as geographical location, the condition of the property, and future vacancy risk. Long-term vacancies are affected by the expected market development, geographical location and condition, and relates to an estimation of a normalised vacancy rate.

Valuation of properties

Property valuations are based on assessments and assumptions at the time of the valuation of both observable and non-observable input data. Observable data which has a considerable impact on the value are current rent levels, property expenses, determined and known future investments and actual inflation. Non-observable data are yield requirements as well as expected future rent levels and vacancies.

Cash-flow from rent payments are estimated based on current lease agreements and known and agreed-upon future changes. The rent development is expected to follow inflation, taking into consideration active indexing clauses in existing agreements. At the end of lease terms, the currently applicable market rent is estimated. Vacancies are assessed based on both the current vacancy rate on the market and the property, but also based on the property's location and condition. Operating and maintenance costs are based on historical outcomes and budgeted costs. Reservations for maintenance costs and property investments are normally calculated as a percentage of the estimated rent income or as a cost per square meter.

Valuation assumptions

Eastnine's property portfolio primarily comprises centrally located office properties in Vilnius and Riga. As of 30 September, the average rent amounted to EUR 14.8 per sq.m. The estimated market rent in these valuations amounted to an average of EUR 15.1 per sq.m., which is 0.2 EUR lower than at the end of the second quarter. The majority of the lease agreements are so-called triple-net leases, which is why property costs chiefly have an effect during vacancies.

Tenant-specific investments are calculated at the time of new lettings at 180 EUR/sq.m. Other property investments have been calculated in the interval from 1.5 to 3.0 per cent of rental income, and averaged 2.5 per cent. The long-term vacancy rate amount to 4.5 per cent on average, in the valuations.

Initial inflation has been estimated, as on 30 September, to be very low, and then to rise in following periods. The long-term inflation is estimated to be 1.5 per cent. The average yield requirement in the valuation model amounted to 6.1 per cent and the average discount rate to 7.5 per cent.

Q3

Current earning capacity

In order to facilitate the assessment of the company's current position, Eastnine reports on current earning capacity. Earning capacity is a theoretical assessment to describe the company's current earnings on 30 September 2020.

Earning capacity provides a snapshot

Earning capacity is not to be regarded as a forecast for the coming twelve months, but as a snapshot of the potential earnings the company can generate under given circumstances. It is based on the property portfolio held on the reporting day.

Earning capacity does not take into account an assessment of the development of rent levels, vacancy, property expenses, interest rates, value changes or other factors that may affect earnings.

Eastnine's calculated earning capacity is based on the following assumptions about income and costs:

  • Rental income comprises contracted income including rent supplements, with deductions for any rental discounts, on the reporting day.
  • Property costs are based on an assessment of a normal year's operating expenses, maintenance costs, property taxes and site leasehold feeds. Property expenses includes property administration expenses.

• Financial income and expenses has been calculated based on the Company's debt liability and average interest level on the reporting day. Central administration expenses have been calculated based on the existing organisation and the current property portfolio on the reporting day.

Comment to earning capacity

Rent income from the portfolio, according to earning capacity, is on 30 September 3.0 per cent higher than at the end of June. This is chiefly due to Eastnine's acquisition of Vertas-2 in Vilnius. The property is essentially fully let with annual rent income of around EUR 1.2m and a surplus ratio of 94 per cent. Lower occupancy rates in the rest of the portfolio has the opposite effect.

The percentual increase in rental income is lower than the increase in property expenses due to a lower occupancy rate. The same effect impacts the profit from property management.

Property fund

The value of Eastnine's holding in East Capital Baltic Property Fund II increased by EUR 1,177k during the period, corresponding to a total return of 5.4 per cent. The dividend amounted to zero EURk during the first nine months, but Eastnine has received a dividend of EUR 640k in October 2020.

East Capital Baltic Property Fund II

Operations

Q3

East Capital Baltic Property Fund II has a total of four properties in logistics, retail and offices. All properties are located in Tallinn. The fund, which was extended at yearend 2019 until May 2020, was extended again in the first half of 2020 until May 2021.

Value of and dividends from Eastnine's holding

Eastnine does not carry out its own valuation of the fund holding. Instead, Eastnine's reported value consists of a share of the fund's total value. The value of Eastnine's holding in the fund amounted to EUR 22,989k (21,812) at the end of the period. The unrealised value change of EUR 1,177k, corresponding to 5.4 per cent, is entirely a result of net operating income during the period. The dividend from the fund in the period has amounted to EUR 0k (640). Eastnine has, however, received a dividend of EUR 640k in October 2020.

Other

Q3

The value of Eastnine's holding in MFG in euro has sunk during the period, as a result of a weakening of the ruble against the euro. The value in ruble, on the other hand, has risen after a clear recovery in MFG's sales from the summer onwards and generally lower risk. Sales in January-September 2020 is greater than at the corresponding period in 2019.

Melon Fashion Group

Operations

Melon Fashion Group had a good start to 2020 with increased sales during the first two months of the year. The coronavirus pandemic meant that all stores were closed in April and the beginning of May, and were then gradually reopened. At the end of the period, 100 per cent of stores were open. E-commerce has worked very well throughout the period.

According to preliminary numbers from MFG, the total sales for the first nine months of 2019 amounted to RUB 17,022m (15,574), after an increase of 8 per cent compared to the same period in the previous year. MFG's aggregate online sales increased by 120 per cent up until the end of September and made up 35 per cent (17) of MFG's total sales. MFG's EBITDA for the first nine months of 2020, excluding

effects of IFRS 16, amounted to RUB 1,665m (1,845) and the EBITDA margin to 9.8 per cent (11.7). The number of stores amounted to 783, of which 238 were operated by franchisees. Retail area amounted to around 197,000 sq.m., of which 38,000 sq.m. were franchised.

Value of and dividends from Eastnine's holding

The fair value of Eastnine's holding in MFG decreased, as a result of a weakened ruble, by EUR -9,716k during the period to EUR 57,181k (66,897) at the end of the period. The value change is unrealised. In the third quarter, the unrealised value change was positive, at EUR 8,690k, and was made up of a positive impact from increased sales together with lower risk (WACC, see page 23) and a negative impact from the weakened ruble. Eastnine has not received any dividend for the period January–September 2020 (933).

A more detailed description of Eastnine's material risks and uncertainties is provided in the Company's Annual Report 2019 on pages 28– 29. Risks associated with the coronavirus pandemic are presented on page 4 in this interim report and a market analysis for the coming months is provided in the Market section on page 5.

Parent Company

Net profit/loss for the period amounted to EUR -9,725k (4,862). The result is primarily attributable to an unrealised value change in Melon Fashion Group of EUR -9,716k (5,160), and operating expenses and financial income. See page 24 for the Parent Company's income statement and balance sheet.

Dividend

The Annual General Meeting has decided on a dividend of SEK 2.70 per share (2.30). In May, SEK 1.35 per share was paid out, and the same amount per share will be paid out in November.

Sustainability

Eastnine undertakes active sustainability efforts. At the end of the period, 79 per cent of the property area (excluding properties expected to undergo significant redevelopment) was certified for sustainability, attaining either LEED Platinum or BREEAM Excellent. During the second quarter, the property Alojas Biroji attained a LEED Platinum certification, and in June, Eastnine took possession of the S7-3 property in Vilnius which has attained BREEAM Excellent. Vertas-1 in Vilnius obtained a LEED Platinum certification at the beginning of October, meaning that the proportion of sustainability-certified area increased to 87 per cent. Eastnine is planning a new development of a wooden office building inRiga−The Pine. This building is

planned to receive double sustainability certificates: LEED Platinum and WELL.

Eastnine plans to implement green lease agreements in Lithuania during the last quarter of 2020. In the third quarter, Eastnine launched a green financing framework which obtained the Dark Green and Excellent grade by CICERO. The work to implement a web-based system for supplier review is ongoing.

Eastnine's sustainability report, which was produced according to the Global Reporting Initiatives guidelines and published as part of the 2019 annual report, contains information about the company's primary concerns, sustainability goals and indicators. Eastnine AB is a member of GRESB.

Summary of material accounting principles

Eastnine AB (publ) prepares its consolidated accounts according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), approved by the European Union as well as interpretations of these (IFRIC). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (Årsredovisningslagen).

The Group applies the same accounting principles and valuation methods as in the latest annual report, with the exception mentioned below regarding IFRS 3. Other new or revised IFRS standards or other IFRIC interpretations applying from 1 January 2020 have not had a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

The Parent Company prepares its accounts in accordance with RFR 2, Reporting of a legal entity, as well as the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (Årsredovisningslagen) and apply the same accounting principles and valuation methods as at the last annual report.

Changes in accounting principles

IFRS 3 Business Combination has entered into force as of 1 January 2020. The changed definition results in a simplified assessment of whether an acquisition is to be considered as an asset acquisition or not. If the fair value in all material respects is concentrated to an identifiable asset or group of assets, the acquisition can be regarded as an asset acquisition. If not, the acquisition is to be tested against the criteria for business combinations. All of the Group's property acquisitions have been classified as asset acquisitions, and the Company regards the change of standard as a simplification and reinforcement of future assessments.

The change in accounting principles has not had any impact on the profit-and-loss statements, balance sheets or key figures.

Estimates and assumptions in the financial statements In preparing these financial statements according to the IFRS, the executive management makes judgements,

estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may deviate from these estimates and assessments. Estimates and underlying assumptions are regularly reviewed. Revisions to estimates are reported in the period that the change takes place and in the future periods that are affected.

Key sources of uncertainty

Q3

The sources of uncertainty in the estimates below refer to such sources that result in a significant risk that the value of assets and liabilities may have to be substantially adjusted during the financial year. For valuation of investment properties, assessments and assumptions can have a significant effect on the Group's income and financial position. These valuations require estimates and assumptions of future cash flows as well as determination of the discounting factor (required yield). To reflect the uncertainty inherent in the assumptions and assessments made, a sensitivity analysis is provided for material property parameters.

In regards to other investments that are not traded on an active market and where fair value is determined not by actual bid quotes but by means of valuation models, there is a risk that the estimated fair value of holdings will be different in future periods. The Company applies its models consistently from period to period, but the determination of fair value is inherently uncertain. Given the control procedures applied, the group considers the fair values reported in the balance sheet to have been carefully calculated and considered in order to reflect the underlying financial values.

Important considerations in the application of the Group's accounting policies

The holdings in JSC Melon Fashion Group, one of the holdings in which Eastnine invested during its period as an investment entity, constitutes an associated company as Eastnine has considerable influence over MFG. This holding is recognised at fair value through profit/loss, using the exemption from the equity method in IAS 28. Eastnine has made the assessment that this exemption is applicable to the Company. The assessment is the same as that made in the Annual Accounts for 2019.

Eastnine has ownership shares in East Capital (Lux) SCA, SICAV-SIF (umbrella fund), amounting to around 12 per cent. For Eastnine, this holding results in a 44 per cent share of the returns from the sub-fund East Capital Baltic Property Fund II. This share have been assessed not to constitute an associated company, as Eastnine can not and has not been able to exert significant influence over the fund. Considering that the Company is not able to exert any influence over the fund, the holding is reported in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Segment Reporting

Business segments are reported in the way which corresponds to the internal classification which is submitted to the Company's senior management and Board of Directors. Eastnine classifies and evaluates its various segments based on the nature of the investments. The following segments are used in the internal reporting: Real Estate Direct, Real Estate Funds and Other.

Related parties

Eastnine AB has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries, see Note 28 in the 2019 Annual Report, as well as with Board members and employees.

Eastnine AB's management, Board members and their close relatives and related companies control 29 per cent (30) of voting rights in the Company.

Events after the end of the period

  • Eastnine has established a new business plan. Among others, a new target has been set for the property portfolio to double to EUR 700m by the end of 2023. More detail about the new targets may be found on page 2.
  • The Board has set the targets for the requirements in the incentive program, LTIP 2020. Condition 1 concerns return on equity, condition 2 profit from property management and condition 3 total return.
  • The property Vertas-1 in Vilnius obtained LEED Platinum certification at the beginning of October 2020. After certification, 87 per cent of the entire property portfolio is certified either LEED Platinum or BREEAM Excellent.

Assurance from the CEO

The CEO certifies that the interim report provides a true and fair overview of the activities, position and earnings of the Parent Company and the Group and describes the significant risks and uncertainties confronting the Parent Company and the Group.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of the Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matter, 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 practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. The conclusion based on a review does not therefore have the level of assurance of an explicit opinion 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 no prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
