NET LETTINGS

Target: SEK 80m per year

Fabege leaves the 2010s and enters the 2020s bigger and stronger.

2019 was a year of sustained rental growth, improved property management earnings, lower yield requirements and higher property values. In short, yet another excellent year for the Swedish property sector, companies and Fabege.

During the 2010s we built up significant value via the development of various properties and areas. I am thinking in particular of Arenastaden. Low interest rates have also clearly contributed to our success over the past decade.

Fabege's net asset value (EPRA NAV) per share grew in 2019 from SEK 125 to SEK 145. During the year the share price rose by 33 per cent (excl. dividend), which was, however, lower than the Stockholm stock exchange property index which increased with 59 per cent. This was partly due to us having had slightly lower loan to value on our properties than many other companies. Over the 2010s, Fabege shares averaged a total annual return of 25.1 per cent.

Continuing to grow

In order to continue creating value via development, we are now focusing on plans and projects in Solna Business Park, Arenastaden, Haga Norra and Flemingsberg. There are plenty of exciting opportunities in these areas and in our existing portfolio. Project investments in 2019 totalled just over SEK 2.5bn. In addition to ongoing projects, the investment in Kv Poolen in Arenastaden has gained momentum. We have also carried out several major redevelopments in our existing portfolio, including at Apotekaren 22 in Stovkholm, where premises were completed for a number of new tenants. 2020 will be a transitional year in terms of growth. Tenants will be moving into completed project properties, while the sale of DN-huset will be concluded and properties vacated for new projects. This includes the Stigbygeln 2 property in Arenastaden, which was vacated by Peab. We will be relocating our headquarters here and investing for new tenants. However, with all our potential urban development projects I anticipate strong growth over the next few years.

Strong net lettings in fourth quarter

Following Skatteverket's lease termination in January 2019 and a weak third quarter, I am extremely satisfied with the strong end to the year as we concluded two major project lettings. Excluding Skatteverket's lease termination, net lettings for the full year in ongoing management amounted to SEK 9m. In addition, project lettings totalled SEK 61m.

Rents in renegotiated leases rose by around 19 per cent during the year. The rate of increase is expected to slow in 2020, as forthcoming renegotiations relate to contracts signed in recent years, and thus higher rents that are to be renegotiated. However, we expect to see a net increase of at least 10 per cent in 2020.

Transaction market

We completed a couple of significant sales during the year. Once the proceeds for DN-huset have been received, these sales will amount to over SEK 5bn. Both Pelaren 1 at Globen and DN-huset are located outside our focal areas, and we do not feel we can add further significant value there.

I believe firmly that we should continue to maintain our focus on our priority areas in Greater Stockholm, and on commercial premises, primarily offices. Yield requirements continued to decline in the fourth quarter, and forthcoming transactions on the Stockholm market are expected to take place at even lower levels.

Always sustainable

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We have ambitious objectives covering issues such as energy efficiency improvements, environmental certification of properties, choice of materials, green financing, and much more. In the long term, our business will be carbon neutral and we are already working hard to understand how we can achieve this goal.

Future prospects

We are seeing a persistently strong rental market and believe that average rents in Stockholm will continue to rise. Demand for acquisitions of properties in Stockholm also remains strong in both Sweden and internationally. I am confident that we will see transactions at new, record levels for individual areas. We have a robust balance sheet, which is important for implementing and leveraging opportunities in our existing portfolio and in the projects we work with and, given the right conditions, considering bolt-on acquisitions and withstanding potential fluctuations in the market.

Fabege is welcoming the new decade with a solid property portfolio, a good range of projects, a strong balance sheet, a committed and professional organisation and a considerate approach. Every day we try to make life easier for our customers, to build value for our shareholders and contribute to the society in which we operate.

Earnings Jan–Dec 20191

During the year Fabege reported growth in net operating income and earnings from property management, along with continued growth in the value of the property portfolio.

Revenues and earnings

Profit after tax for the year was SEK 6,006m (7,699), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 18.16 (23.28). Profit for the year before tax amounted to SEK 7,034m (9,103). Earnings from property management improved, but lower changes in value meant that profit before tax fell in comparison with the previous year.

Rental income increased to SEK 2,856m (2,517) and net operating income rose to SEK 2,144m (1,875). In an identical portfolio, rental income grew by roughly 14 per cent (10), of which just over two-thirds related to growth through tenants moving into completed project properties. The remaining increase was primarily growth due to new lettings and renegotiated rent levels. Net operating income in an identical portfolio rose by approximately 16 per cent (13). New accounting policies for ground rent, which is no longer included in net operating income as of 2019, had a positive impact on the surplus ratio. As a result of new tax assessment values the property tax rose substantially, as expected, compared with the previous year, which had a negative impact on the surplus ratio. However, overall, the surplus ratio still amounted to 75 per cent (74).

Two properties were divested during the year (Pelaren 1 and Lagern 3), with transfer of ownership taking place in 2019. Furthermore, an agreement was reached on the sale of Trängkåren 7, with transfer of ownership scheduled for January 2020. The transactions generated a total profit of SEK 171m, which was recognised under unrealised changes in value in the period. The transactions did not generate any realised profit and realised changes in value therefore amounted to SEK 0m (153).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 5,743m (7,685). The unrealised change in the value of the investment property portfolio of SEK 4,129m (5,252) was mainly attributable to increased rent levels for new lettings and renegotiations and lower yield requirements. The average yield requirement declined to 3.97 per cent (4.13). Furthermore, unrealised changes in fair value of SEK 171m (132) were recognised relating to properties sold during the year. The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 1,443m (2,301), of which SEK –136m related to impairment of housing development rights in the third quarter. The change in value of the project portfolio in general was mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

The share in earnings of associated companies was SEK −34m (−64) and mainly related to a capital contribution to Arenabolaget. No further contributions were made in the fourth quarter.

Unrealised changes in value in the derivatives portfolio totalled SEK −235m (16). The extension of the fixed-rate term and lower long-term interest rates led to an increase in the deficit value during the period. Net interest items declined somewhat to SEK −465m (-485).

Segment reporting

The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 2,098m (1,753), representing a surplus ratio of 76 per cent (76). The occupancy rate was 94 per cent (95). Earnings from property management totalled SEK 1,551m (1,218). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 4,129m (5,252).

The Property Development segment generated net operating income of SEK 46m (122), giving a surplus ratio of 42 per cent (58). Earnings from property management totalled SEK −19m (28). Unrealised changes in the value of properties totalled SEK 1,443m (2,301).

Earnings from transactions totalled SEK 171m (285).

Quarter 4 in brief

• Continued healthy demand for office premises in Stockholm and rising rent levels in all our submarkets.
• New lettings totalled SEK 129m (75) and net lettings amounted to SEK 55m (7).
• The surplus ratio was 74 per cent (74).

Financing

Fabege employs long-term credit facilities subject to fixed terms and conditions. The company's creditors mainly comprise the major Nordic banks and investors on the capital market. The company is striving for a balance between different forms of financing on both the capital and banking markets, with long-term relationships with the major financiers having high priority.

Fabege wants to play an active part in the transition of the financial market towards greater accountability, and the company is continuing with its efforts to achieve the goal of all financing being sustainable. In line with this goal, a new green framework was launched in June, which also enabled issues of green commercial paper. At year-end, the company had green bonds of SEK 6,850m and green commercial paper totalling SEK 1,980m outstanding within the green framework. In the fourth quarter, green bank financing increased by a further SEK 450m in connection with the refinancing of a loan. Find out more about Fabege's green financing at www.fabege.se/gronfinansiering.

At year-end, Fabege's derivatives portfolio comprised interest rate swaps totalling SEK 16,750m with terms of maturity extending through 2029 and carrying fixed interest at annual rates of between −0.18 and 1.35 per cent before margins. At 31 December, the average fixed-rate period was 4.5 years.

Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 33m, mainly pertaining to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and costs relating to bond and commercial paper programmes. During the year, interest totalling SEK 18m (43) relating to project properties was capitalised.

In October, Fabege received an upgraded credit rating from Moody's of Baa2, stable outlook, which is confirmation of the company's financial stability.

Tax

Tax on profit for the year amounted to -SEK 1,028m (-1,404). The amount included resolution of deferred tax in the amount of SEK 514m (164) in connection with property sales. Current tax of SEK 27m related mainly to the reversal of current tax after retesting of prior years' tax assessments. Tax was calculated at a rate of 21.4 per cent on taxable earnings. In accordance with the new corporate taxation method, the deferred tax liability has been recalculated at the new tax rate of 20.6 per cent. The valuation of the loss carryforwards that are expected to be utilised in 2020 has been calculated based on the current tax rate for the year of 21.4 per cent.

The new regulations relating to restrictions on interest deductions apply as of 1 January 2019. Fabege is of the opinion that the new rules will not have any material impact on tax paid. For 2019, the new rules meant increased utilisation of tax loss carryforwards of just over SEK 300m. This incurred a greater cost of SEK 66m for the 2019 full year, which is reflected in the tax calculation for the year.

Financial position and net asset value

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 40,068m (34,964) at year-end and the equity/assets ratio was 52 per cent (51). Equity per share attributable to Parent Company shareholders totalled SEK 121 (106). EPRA NAV was SEK 145 per share (125) and EPRA NNNAV amounted to SEK 138 per share (120).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,539m (1,194). Changes in working capital had an impact on cash flow of SEK 478m (−271). Investing activities had an impact of SEK −1,270m (−1,804) on cash flow, while financing activities had an impact of SEK −738m (547) on cash flow. In investing activities, cash flow was driven by property transactions and projects. Cash and cash equivalents changed by a total of SEK 9m (–334) during the year. SEK 145/share

FABEGE SIGNS LEASE WITH TIETOEVRY IN NEW PROJECT IN ARENASTADEN

At Kv Poolen, where work began in September, Fabege has signed a lease for approximately 22,000 sqm with TietoEVRY, with an option during the construction period to take an additional 6,000 sqm. The building will be certified according to BREEAM-SE level Excellent, in line with Fabege's policy, and the lease is a green lease in which both parties agree on shared ambitions to reduce climate impact. The lease runs for seven years and the company will move in during the first quarter of 2022.

The building is a 3D property with the City of Solna's new swimming pool on the ground floor, which is both owned and will be managed by the municipality. The swimming pool will include a flexible multipurpose pool, 10 swimming lanes and a pool with an adjustable floor.

Operations Jan–Dec 20191

Value growth in the property portfolio continued to be fuelled by project development and higher rent levels for new negotiations and renegotiations, as well as by lower yield requirements on the market.

Property portfolio and property management

Fabege's property management and urban and property development activities are concentrated on a few selected submarkets in and around Stockholm: Stockholm inner city, Solna, Hammarby Sjöstad and Flemingsberg. At 31 December 2019, Fabege owned 87 properties with a combined rental value of SEK 3.1bn, a lettable area of 1.3 million sqm and a carrying amount of SEK 74.3bn, of which development and project properties account for SEK 8.3bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 94 per cent (94). The occupancy rate in the property management portfolio was 94 per cent (95).

During the year, 165 new leases were signed at a total rental value of SEK 246m (350), of which 94 per cent pertained to green leases. Lease terminations amounted to SEK −283m (191) including Skatteverket's lease termination of SEK 107m in the first quarter. Thus accumulated net lettings totalled SEK −37m (159). Net lettings amounted to SEK 55m in the fourth quarter, following the signing of two significant leases with TietoEvry and Arbetsmiljöverket. Rental contracts totalling SEK 275m were renegotiated, with an average rise in rental value of 19 per cent, reflecting the persistently strong trend on the rental market during the year. The retention rate during the period was 70 per cent (77).

Changes in the property portfolio

In the second quarter, Pelaren 1, Globen, was sold with transfer of ownership scheduled for 1 July. The purchase price amounted to SEK 1.6bn and generated a profit of SEK 138m, which was recognised as an unrealised change in value in the second quarter. Furthermore, the Lagern 3 property in Råsunda was sold to a co-owned housing development company, with transfer of ownership scheduled for June. The transaction did not have any impact on earnings. In November, an agreement was concluded on the sale of Trängkåren 7 for a purchase price of SEK 3.5bn, with transfer of ownership scheduled for January 2020. The transaction resulted in an unrealised change in value of SEK 33m, which was recognised in the fourth quarter. Overall, unrealised changes in value relating to divested properties totalled SEK 171m (132). Realised changes in value totalled SEK 0m (153).

In July, an agreement was signed on the acquisition of part of Generatorn 2, Flemingsberg, for a purchase price of SEK 60m. The acquired part is currently undeveloped. Transfer of ownership will take place after the local development plan and property reallotment have become legally binding.

Changes in value of properties

The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Just over 35 per cent of the properties were externally valued in the fourth quarter and the remainder were internally valued based on the most recent external valuations. The total market value at the end of the period was SEK 74.3bn (67.6).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 5,743m (7,685). The average yield requirement declined to 3.97 per cent (4.13). The change in value in the investment property portfolio of SEK 4,129m (5,252) was principally due to higher rent levels and lower yield requirements. In addition, unrealised changes in value of SEK 171m (132) were recognised relating to properties sold during the period. The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 1,443m (2,301), of which SEK –136m related to impairment of housing development rights in the third quarter. The change in value of the project portfolio was in general mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

¹ The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the January–December 2018 period and for balance sheet items at 31 December 2018.

Environmental certification of properties

Fabege's objective is for the company's entire property portfolio to be certified to BREEAM-SE/BREEAM In-Use standard. Fabege's new builds are certified in accordance with BREEAM-SE, with the minimum level of Very Good. Of Fabege's 87 properties, 56 were certified, or in the process of certification, at the end of the period. Overall, this represents 82 per cent of the total combined area of Fabege's existing portfolio. The properties that have not yet begun certification relate to land and development property for future project development.

Green leases

A green lease means that both parties agree on a joint environmental agenda for the premises. Choice of materials, renewable electricity, flexible building design and sorting of waste at source are examples of commitments under this kind of lease. Green leases are an important basis for environmental certification of the building. Fabege's goal is for 100 per cent of newly signed and renegotiated leases to be green. In the long term, green leases will constitute 100 per cent of the total lettable area (excluding storage and parking areas). At year-end, the proportion was 75 per cent. In 2019, the proportion of newly signed green leases was 94 per cent based on lettable area.

Green financing

In 2016, Fabege launched the world's first green MTN programme. Our recently launched green framework allows us to issue green commercial paper now as well, and to link other loans to the framework. Green financing offers Fabege better conditions both with banks and on the capital market, and access to more financing alternatives. The new green framework increases the proportion of green financing sources. All Fabege's creditors bar one can now offer green financing. The aim is for 100 per cent of the company's financing to be green. The proportion of green financing totalled 84 per cent of outstanding credits at the end of the period.

Health, equal opportunities and commitment

Fabege wants to help create the best conditions for its employees. The company's efforts aim to improve quality of life for our employees and help boost commitment, enjoyment and team spirit. People who feel good perform better. Regular health checks are showing positive results in the form of significant health gains for many employees. During the year, Fabege was named Best Practice Leader 2019 in EWOB's (European Women on Boards) gender diversity index, which was based on a review of 600 listed companies in Europe, and in our employee survey for 2019, 86 per cent responded that Fabege is an excellent workplace and 89 per cent are proud to tell others where they work. This is an acknowledgement of the strong level of commitment and job satisfaction among our employees.

Top ranking in GRESB sustainability index

GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) produces an annual ranking of the property sector from a sustainability perspective. In the evaluation for 2019, Fabege climbed eight points and with its overall result of 94 points is now ranked highest in the office category among listed companies in northern Europe.

FABEGE SELLS TRÄNGKÅREN 7 TO AREIM

The property is a Stockholm landmark, often referred to as the Newspaper Building or Dagens Nyheter Tower. The property transaction was completed as a corporate sale with an underlying property value of SEK 3,545m after deductions for deferred tax. Handover will take place on 23 January 2020.

• "Trängkåren has added considerable value to Fabege during the period of ownership, but its potential for us is limited, going forward. In the short term, the transaction will boost our balance sheet and KPIs. In the longer term, it allows scope for future planned and value-creating project development in our prioritised areas", comments Stefan Dahlbo, Fabege's CEO.

Fabege's energy efficiency targets

Fabege's new energy efficiency targets are divided into phases. In 2019, we exceeded the target in the Swedish energy policy agreement of 50 per cent more efficient use of energy by 2030 compared with 2005. Work is progressing and our next milestone is an average energy consumption of 77 kWh/sqm in the entire investment property portfolio for 2023, which is a reduction of over 60 per cent compared with 2005. The portfolio is divided into two parts: newer properties that have received planning permission after 2012 and have a target of 50 kWh/sqm and older properties that have a target of 85 kWh/sqm. In 2019, Fabege's average energy consumption was 81 kWh/sqm for the entire investment property portfolio. Furthermore, we are examining opportunities to report indirect emissions as well (scope 3).

Climate neutral management by 2030

Fabege has a long-term, target-based and integrated approach towards creating more sustainable properties. Our overriding long-term goal is to have zero net emissions from property management by the year 2030. By this we mean that we will have control over all the emissions associated with our operations, and that we will minimise emissions to the greatest possible extent using the tools available. We will compensate for emissions over which we have no control via carbon offsetting, for example investments in carbon sinks such as forest, or wind and solar parks.

Projects and investments

The purpose of Fabege's project investments in the investment property portfolio is to reduce vacancy rates and increase rents in the property portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and adding value. Investments in urban development projects and new builds are a key feature of Fabege's business model and should make a significant contribution to consolidated profit. All new builds and all major redevelopments are certified to BREEAM-SE standard.

During the period, investments in existing properties and projects totalled SEK 2,556m (2,963), of which investments in projects and development properties accounted for SEK 1,544m (2,359).

The capital invested in the investment property portfolio, which amounted to SEK 1,012m (604) and encompassed energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value. The amount includes investments for several more substantial tenant customisations during the year.

Completed projects

In the second quarter of 2019, the new office building at part of Båtturen 2, Hammarby Sjöstad, was completed. The third quarter saw the completion of the project relating to the conversion and extension of Trikåfabriken 9, Hammarby Sjöstad, and tenants have taken up occupation of their premises. In addition, the premises for Skolverket were completed in part of Fräsaren 12 for the agency to take up occupancy in November. The properties have been transferred to the investment property portfolio.

Major ongoing projects

The redevelopment project relating to part of Paradiset 23, Västra Kungsholmen, is continuing. The investment in the basic building has been completed and undergone final inspection, and tenant customisations are now underway. The property will be completed ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2020. The occupancy rate is 85 per cent.

The redevelopment of Fortet 2, Solna, for a hotel, long-stay accommodation, coworking hub and restaurant is progressing and will be completed as scheduled in readiness for occupancy in March 2020. The property is fully let to KOM Hotell, which is owned by KFUM Central.

The development of the Haga Norra area at the Hagalund 2:2 (formerly Stora Frösunda 2) property in Solna is proceeding with the construction of Bilia's new facility. Alongside this, work is continuing on division of the property into a number of separate units. The investment is expected to amount to roughly SEK 1,129m and the facility will be ready by the first quarter of 2021. Work is currently continuing on assembly and completion of the frame.

The project for construction of a hotel, long-stay accommodation and offices at the Nationalarenan 3 property in Solna is proceeding according to plan. The building is designed to be a zero-energy structure and will be certified to BREEAM-SE standard, Excellent. The total investment is estimated to be SEK 756m. The property is now fully let to Nordic Choice Hotels and is expected to be ready for occupancy in Q1 2021. Work is underway on assembly of the frame and facade.

During the summer, work began on the new construction project Kv Poolen, Arenastaden. Fabege has concluded an agreement to acquire development rights once the reallotment process is complete, which is expected to be in the first half of 2020. The property includes approx. 28,000 sqm of lettable office space, and will be constructed in a 3D reallotment above the swimming pool to be built by Solna Municipality. Groundwork and project design work are currently underway. The occupancy rate is 75 per cent since TietoEvry signed a lease to rent approx. 22,000 sqm. However, TietoEvry also has an option to rent the remaining office space at the property. The amount invested in 2019 is recognised within the property value, despite the fact that Fabege has not yet officially taken over ownership of the property.

In December, a decision was made on an additional project at Fräsaren 12 regarding a tenant customisation for Arbetsmiljöverket, with occupancy scheduled for November 2020. The investment is estimated at SEK 96m.

Housing developments in joint ventures

Via co-owned Selfoss Invest AB, Fabege and Svenska Hyreshus AB are leading a housing development project in Kista. The total investment is estimated to be SEK 570m excluding purchase of the land. The project includes a total of 276 apartments, which is more than initially planned. All 69 apartments in stage 1 have been sold and occupancy is scheduled for March 2020. Stage 2, including 77 apartments, has opened for booking agreements and 31 agreements have so far been signed. Stage 2 is expected to be ready for occupancy in autumn 2020. Stages 2 and 3 are being built with the flexibility to change the leasing form from tenant-owned apartments to rental or company apartments. The project is being externally financed with a construction loan. Income recognition will not occur until the end of the project.

Development of the Lagern 3 property in Råsunda into tenant-owner apartments has begun. The project is being managed together with the TB Group in a 50/50 per cent co-owned company. The property was sold in the second quarter to the co-owned development company. The investment is estimated to total SEK 240m excluding purchase of the land. Work is currently underway on demolition of the interior and preparations for the forthcoming redevelopment.

Work is continuing on developing the housing project in cooperation with Brabo at the Hagalund 2:2 (formerly Stora Frösunda 2) property in Haga Norra. The project includes 418 apartments that will be produced in a 3D reallotment above the facility that Fabege is building for Bilia at the property. The estimated investment totals SEK 1.1bn. Project planning has entered the final phase and since November work has been underway on erecting the frame. Alongside this, work is continuing on reallotment of the property.

The current JV projects are not being consolidated, but will be recognised in accordance with the equity method.

Space and carrying amount relates to additional development rights space. Development will in some cases require demolition of existing areas, which will impact the project calculation. The volumes are not maximised. Ongoing planning work aims to increase the volume of future development rights. Flemingsberg is not included, as work is underway on the vision and overall plan. The conclusion is that Flemingsberg will bring a substantial volume of development rights at low initial values.

Reclassifications during the period between the Property Management and Property Development segments are stated in the note on Segment Reporting on page 17.

In accordance with IFRS 8, segments are presented from the point of view of management, divided into the following segments: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions. Rental income and property expenses, as well as realised and unrealised changes in the value of properties, are directly attributable to properties in each segment (direct income and expenses). In cases where a property changes character during the year, earnings attributable to the property are allocated to each segment based on the period of time that the property belonged to each segment. Central administration and items in net financial expense have been allocated to the segments in a standardised manner based on each segment's share of the total property value (indirect income and expenses). Property assets are directly attributed to each segment and recognised on the balance sheet date.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS – PROPERTY VALUES

+1	579	52.6%	35.4%
0	0	52.4%	35.6%
-1	-579	52.1%	35.7%

Earnings and key ratios are affected by realised and unrealised changes in the value of properties. The table shows the effect of a 1 percentage point change in value after deferred tax deduction.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS – CASH FLOW AND EARNINGS

	Changeffect, SEKm
Rental income, total	1%	28.6
Rent level, commercial income	1%	28.4
Financial occupancy rate	1 percentage point	31.9
Property expenses	1%	7.1
Interest expense, rolling 12 months ¹	+/-1 percentage point	41 / 6
Interest expenses, longer term perspective	1 percentage point	264.1

The sensitivity analysis shows the effects on the Group's cash flow and earnings on an annualised basis after taking account of the full effect of each parameter.

¹In the short term, interest expenses increase regardless of whether the short-term rate rises or falls. Due to interest rate floors in loan agreements, Fabege is not able to fully utilise negative interest rates, whereby a negative outcome arises even when interest rates are reduced.

Rental income – growth over next four quarters

The graph above shows the development of contracted rental income, including occupancies and vacations that are known about and renegotiations, but excluding letting targets. The graph therefore does not constitute a forecast, but rather aims to demonstrate the rental trend in the existing contract portfolio on the balance sheet date.

The change between the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020 is largely due to the sale of Trängkåren 7.

Human resources

At the end of the period, 191 people (181) were employed by the Fabege Group.

Parent Company

Sales during the period amounted to SEK 315m (260) and earnings before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK 3,352m (3,033).

Net investments in property, equipment and shares totalled SEK 0m (0).

RENTAL VALUE PER CATEGORY

Acquisition and transfer of treasury shares

The 2019 AGM renewed the authorisation of the Board to buy back and transfer shares in the company for the period extending up until the next AGM. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of shares outstanding at any time. No shares were bought back during the period and Fabege does not own any treasury shares.

Board of Directors' proposal to the AGM

The Board of Directors will propose the following to the AGM on 2 April 2020:

• Cash dividend of SEK 3.20 per share, to be paid on two occasions in April and October respectively each of SEK 1.60 per share with a total of SEK 1 059m.
• To authorise the Board, for the period extending up until the next AGM, to buy back Fabege shares corresponding to a maximum of 10 per cent of the shares outstanding.

Events after balance sheet date

Trängkåren 7 was vacated on 23 January as agreed.

Opportunities and risks

Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations relate primarily to changes in rents, vacancies and interest rates. The effect of the changes on consolidated profit, including a sensitivity analysis and a more detailed description of risks and opportunities, are presented in the section on Risks and opportunities in the 2018 Annual Report (pages 54–59).

Properties are recognised at fair value and changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. Effects of changes in value on consolidated profit, the equity/assets ratio and the loan-to-value ratio are also presented in the section on Risks and opportunities and the sensitivity analysis in the 2018 Annual Report. Financial risk, defined as the risk of insufficient access to long-term funding through loans, and Fabege's management of this risk are also described in the Risks and opportunities section of the 2018 Annual Report (pages 54–59).

No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have arisen following publication of the 2018 Annual Report. Fabege's aims for the capital structure are to have an equity/assets ratio of at least 35 per cent and an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.2. The target for the loan-to-value ratio is a maximum of 50 per cent. The debt ratio will amount to a maximum of 13.

Seasonal variations

Expenses for the running and maintenance of properties are subject to seasonal variations. For example, cold and snowy winters give rise to higher costs for heating and snow clearance, while hot summers result in higher cooling costs. Activity in the rental market is seasonal. Normally, more business transactions are completed in the second and fourth quarters, whereby net lettings in these quarters are often higher.

Market outlook

There are several indications that the economy is slowing down. However, in the general economic slowdown, Stockholm appears to be remaining strong with its anticipated long-term growth forecast, in terms of both the rental market and the transaction market. Fabege is well-positioned and can offer office space in attractive, modern and sustainable neighbourhoods in Greater Stockholm. Given prevailing market conditions and Fabege's attractive property and project portfolio, circumstances are favourable for a continued positive trend over the next few years. Completed project properties and continued low interest expenses are expected to yield an improved profit from property management. Our attractive development rights in prime locations allow us the opportunity for continued successful, value-generating project development.

Accounting policies

Fabege prepares its consolidated financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are submitted both in the notes and in other sections of the interim report.

The Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the latest annual report, with the exception of what is stated below regarding IFRS 16. Other new or revised IFRS standards or other IFRIC -interpretations that came into effect after 1 January 2019 have not had any material impact on consolidated financial statements. The Parent Company prepares its financial statements according to RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the latest annual report.

New accounting policies that enter into force from 1 January 2019 onwards

IFRS 16 Leases

This standard replaced IAS 17 on 1 January 2019, and it means that lessees must record leases in the balance sheet. Fabege does not apply the standard retroactively. Given Fabege's status as a landlord and lessor, the change does not affect the company's statements. Of the Group's leases, management of ground rents is the most significant. At 31 December 2019, the lease liability for ground rents amounts to SEK 942m. A corresponding right-of-use asset is included in the balance sheet. The cost of ground rents is recognised as a financial expense. Earnings from property management are therefore not affected. The ground rent is restored as an operating expense in the calculation of the interest coverage ratio, as with previous accounts. The accounting has a negligible impact on key ratios such as the equity/assets ratio.

No other new and amended standards approved by the EU and interpretative statements from the IFRS Interpretations Committee are deemed to impact the Group's financial position to any significant extent.

DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are measured continuously at fair value in compliance with level 2, with the exception of the callable swaps measured in accordance with level 3. All callable swaps expired in 2018. The derivatives portfolio is measured at the present value of future cash flows. Changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. Changes in value are of an accounting nature and have no impact on cash flow. At the due date, the market value of derivative instruments is always zero.

² Definitionen according to IFRS.

Definitions

The company presents certain financial performance measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS. The company considers that these measures provide valuable supplementary information for investors and company management, as they enable an assessment and benchmarking of the company's presentation. Since not all companies calculate financial performance measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial performance measures should not therefore be regarded as substitutes for measures defined according to IFRS. The following key ratios are not defined according to IFRS, unless otherwise stated.

ACTUAL DEFERRED TAX

Estimated actual deferred tax has been calculated at approximately 4 per cent based on a discount rate of 3 per cent. Furthermore, it has been assumed that loss carryforwards are realised over four years with a nominal tax rate of 21.4 per cent, which gives a net present value for deferred tax assets of 19.7 per cent. The calculation is also based on the property portfolio being realised over 50 years, with 10 per cent being sold directly with a nominal tax rate of 20.6 per cent and the remaining 90 per cent being sold indirectly via companies with a nominal tax rate amounting to 6 per cent, which gives a net present value for deferred tax liabilities of 4 per cent.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities, provisions and deferred tax.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES PER SHARE

Cash flow from operating activities (after changes in working capital) divided by the average number of shares outstanding.

DEBT/EQUITY RATIO

Interest-bearing liabilities divided by shareholders' equity.

DEBT RATIO

Interest-bearing liabilities divided by rolling twelve-month net operating income less central administration.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES*

Properties in which a conversion or extension is in progress or planned that has a significant impact on the property's net operating income. Net operating income is affected either directly by the project or by limitations on lettings prior to impending improvement work.

EPRA EPS

Profit from property management less tax at a nominal rate attributable to profit from property management, divided by average number of shares. Taxable profit from property management is defined as profit from property management less such amounts as taxdeductible depreciation and remodelling.

EPRA NAV

– LONG-TERM NET ASSET VALUE

Shareholders' equity per share following the reversal of fixed-income derivatives and deferred tax according to the balance sheet.

EPRA NNNAV – SHORT-TERM NET ASSET VALUE

Shareholders' equity at the end of the period adjusted for actual deferred tax instead of nominal deferred tax, and the minority's share of the capital divided by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period.

EPRA VACANCY RATE

Estimated market rent for vacant rents divided by the annual rental value for the entire property portfolio.

EQUITY/ASSETS RATIO

Shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest divided by total assets.

EQUITY PER SHARE

Parent Company shareholders' share of equity according to the balance sheet, divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

FINANCIAL OCCUPANCY RATE*

Lease value divided by rental value at the end of the period.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES*

Properties that are being actively managed on an ongoing basis.

INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO

Net operating income including ground rent less central administration in relation to net interest items (interest expenses less interest income).

LAND AND PROJECT PROPERTIES*

Land and development properties and properties in which a new construction/complete redevelopment is in progress.

LEASE VALUE*

Stated as an annual value. Index-adjusted basic rent under the rental agreement plus rent supplements.

LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO, PROPERTIES

Interest-bearing liabilities divided by the carrying amount of the properties at the end of the period.

NET LETTINGS*

New lettings during the period less terminations to vacate.

PROFIT/EARNINGS PER SHARE

Parent Company shareholders' share of earnings after tax for the period, divided by average number of shares outstanding during the period. Definition according to IFRS.

RENTAL VALUE*

Lease value plus estimated annual rent for vacant premises after a reasonable general renovation.

RETENTION RATE*

Proportion of leases that are extended in relation to the proportion of cancellable leases.

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Profit before tax plus interest expenses, divided by average capital employed. In interim reports, the return is converted into its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL IN THE PROJECT PORTFOLIO*

Change in value of project and development properties, divided by invested capital (excluding initial value) in project and development properties during the period.

RETURN ON EQUITY

Profit for the period/year divided by average shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest. In interim reports, the return is converted into its annualised value without taking account of seasonal variations.

RETURN, SHARE

Dividend for the year divided by the share price at year-end.

SURPLUS RATIO*

Net operating income divided by rental income.

TOTAL RETURN PROPERTIES

Net operating income for the period plus unrealised and realised changes in the value of properties, divided by market value at start of period plus investments for the period.

*This key ratio is operational and is not regarded as an alternative performance measure according to ESMA's guidelines.

This is Fabege

Fabege is one of Sweden's leading property companies, focusing mainly on letting and managing office premises as well as city district development. The company offers modern premises in prime locations in fastgrowing submarkets in the Stockholm region: Stockholm inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad.

Fabege offers attractive and efficient premises, mainly offices but also retail and other premises. The concentration of properties to wellcontained clusters leads to greater customer proximity and, coupled with Fabege's extensive local expertise, creates a solid foundation for efficient property management and high occupancy.

At 31 December 2019, Fabege owned 87 properties with a total market value of SEK 74.3bn. The rental value was SEK 3.1bn.

Business concept

Fabege works with sustainable city district development, with a primary focus on commercial properties within a limited number of well located submarkets in the Stockholm area.

Fabege aims to create value by managing, improving and actively adjusting its property portfolio through sales and acquisitions.

Business model

Fabege's operational activities are conducted in three business areas: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions.

Strategy for growth

Fabege's strategy is to create value by managing and developing the property portfolio and through transactions, acquiring and divesting properties with the aim of increasing potential in the property portfolio. Fabege's properties are located in the most liquid market in Sweden. Attractive locations lead to a low vacancy rate in the investment property portfolio. Modern properties permit flexible solutions and attract customers. With its concentrated portfolio and high-profile local presence, investments aimed at enhancing the appeal of an area benefit many of Fabege's customers.

Value-driving factors

A number of external factors affect Fabege's operations and these, together with the transaction volume and the office market trend in Stockholm, represent the prerequisites for the company's success.

Stockholm is growing

Stockholm is one of the five metropolitan areas in Western Europe where the population is rising the most. According to forecasts, Stockholm County will have half a million inhabitants more than today by 2030. People in the active labour force account for the largest growth, which is boosting demand for office premises.

Change in demand

New technology and new working methods are fuelling demand for flexible and space-efficient premises in prime locations. Excellent peripheral service and good communication links in the form of public transport services are in increasing demand, as are environmentally certified offices and green leases.

Economic trend

The trend for both the Swedish and global economy impacts the property market. Lower vacancy rates in Stockholm's inner city and a stronger economic climate have historically meant rising rents.

Sustainable urban development

Sustainability issues are becoming increasingly important, in terms of both individual properties and entire areas. Interest in environmental considerations involving choice of material and energy-saving measures is on the rise. Demand is increasing for premises in areas with a favourable mix of offices, retail, service and residential units, as well as excellent transport links and environmental commitment.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The essence of Fabege's operations is finding the right premises for a customer's specific requirements and ensuring that the customer is content. This is accomplished through longterm work and based on close dialogue with the customer, thus building mutual trust and loyalty.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

High-quality property development is the second key cornerstone of our business. Fabege has long-standing expertise in pursuing extensive property development projects, with the aim of attracting long-term tenants to properties that have not yet been fully developed and can be redesigned based on the customer's specific requirements.

TRANSACTIONS
