The year in brief

In 2007 Fabege continued to focus its operations on a limited number of well-located sub-markets in the Stockholm area. 17 properties were sold, while eight were acquired, further strengthening market positions in the principal markets. At the

end of the year 88 per cent of the Group's rental value and 90 per cent of its property value were concentrated on the three principal markets of Stockholm inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad.

The rental market continued to develop positively during the year due to the

Trängkåren 7 (DN-huset) was acquired at the end of the year. The property comprises around 76,000 sq.m of lettable space, of which 47,000 sq.m offices and 29,000 sq.m of warehousing, parking and other space.

good economic conditions. Demand for office space was particularly strong in Stockholm inner city, with peak rents up from around SEK 4,000/sq.m to around SEK 4,500/sq.m.

Fabege's economic occupancy rate rose by three percentage points during the year to 92 per cent (89). The company's net lettings were strong, totalling SEK 142m. The surplus ratio rose by four percentage points to 64 per cent (60). Rental income for likefor-like stock rose by 7.6 per cent. The continuing work on concentrating the property stock and creating property clusters that allow for efficient management have contributed strongly to this growth.

The pace of project activity was increased, and decisions were taken during the year on major project investments totalling around SEK 2.4bn, of which SEK 2.1bn is in progress (excluding acquisitions). The projects have developed well, with a high letting rate in the favourable market, see table on page 4.

Profit for the year totalled SEK 1,812m (2,266) and earnings per share was SEK 9.98 (11.74) The equity/assets ratio was 36 per cent after cash dividend and redemptions totalling around SEK 2bn in 2007. The Board is proposing to the AGM a dividend of SEK 4.00 per share.

Fabege has a good financial position, a property stock that is concentrated to growth areas and an attractive project portfolio. The company is very well positioned in a property and rental market that remains strong at the beginning of 2008.

Developments during the fourth quarter

The continued strength of the rental market in Stockholm was a feature of the last quarter. Despite lower income, as a result of a smaller property stock, the operating surplus was better than in the corresponding period of the previous year. The surplus ratio rose by four percentage points to 65 per cent (61).

The economic occupancy rate rose by one percentage point to 92 per cent from the previous quarter. The occupancy rate for the property portfolio (including project and improvement properties) in Stockholm inner city rose by one percentage point during the quarter to around 95% and the occupancy rate for investment properties in the inner city is now 97%. A large proportion of the remaining vacancies in the stock consist of larger spaces in project properties where lettings often comes in bursts. New lettings during the fourth quarter amounted to a total contracted annual value of SEK 72m, while terminations totalled SEK 63m.

Profit after tax for the whole of 2007 was SEK 1,812m (2,266) and diluted earnings per share was SEK 9.98 (11.74) Profit after financial items totalled SEK 2,066m (1,863).

1) See definitions on page 8.

2) The table relates to Fabege's property stock at 31.12.2007, and income and expenses are reported as though the properties had been owned throughout the period. The deviation between the reported operating surplus of SEK 1,443m and the operating surplus in the income statement of SEK 1,312m is explained by operating surplus from sold properties having been excluded and acquired/completed properties having been counted as though they were owned/completed throughout the period Jan-Dec 2007.

Breakdown of book value/market value

1) The property stock has undergone significant changes since the corresponding period of 2006, which has had a material impact on income and profit.

2) The comparison figures for profit and loss items pertain to values for the period Jan-Sept 2006 and for balancesheet items at 31.12.2006.

11,415m (12,177) and the equity/assets ratio was 36% (41). Interest-bearing liabilities (excluding the value of the derivatives portfolio of SEK 13m) at the end of the period totalled SEK 17,210 (14,978) with an average interest rate of 4.28% (3.72) excl. loan commitments and 4.31% (3.85) including costs of loan commitments. Of the total liabilities, SEK 47m consists of convertible debenture loan and SEK 3,540m of outstanding certificates. The total volume of loans at 31 December includes loans for projects in progress of SEK 323m, interest on which of SEK 8m has been capitalised. The average fixed-rate interest term of the loans including effects of utilised derivative instruments at 31 December was 3 months (10). Fabege increased the average term of its loan agreements during the year, and capital tie-up period at the end of the year was 5.1 years (4.2). Of total credit agreements of SEK 25.2bn, SEK 17.2bn has been utilised. During the fourth quarter increased long-term credit agreements were entered into for SEK 2.5bn on the same terms as previous credit agreements. Fabege's access to long-term financing has not been affected by the international financial turmoil.

The profit resulted in a contribution to liquidity of SEK 1,142m (646). After decrease in working capital of SEK 491m, which principally varies due to the impact of taking possession of/final settlement for purchased and sold properties, operating activities produced a change in liquidity of SEK 1,633m (3,843). Investments and acquisitions exceeded property sales by SEK 2,653m (-1,513). Operations thus altogether produced a decrease in liquidity of SEK 1,020m (-5,356). Payment of dividend to shareholders and buy-back of own shares totalled SEK 761m (754) and SEK 543m (706) respectively. Group cash and cash equivalents, after increase in liabilities, totalled SEK 75m (164).

The rental and property market in Stockholm

Fabege's property management and project development activities are highly concentrated on a small number of submarkets with good growth opportunities in and around Stockholm. The inner city of Stockholm, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad are Fabege's principal markets.

The Swedish economy and growth were strong in 2007, particularly in the capital re-

gion. Increased employment has led to increased demand for office space and other premises. Both occupancy rate and rent levels have developed positively. At the beginning of 2008 the rental market in Fabege's principal markets continues to look strong.

In Stockholm there is a high level of demand for offices with a market rental value of SEK 3,500-4,000/sq.m and peak rents around SEK 4,500/sq.m for modern and efficient offices. In Södermalm and Kungsholmen there is good demand for premises with rent levels for modern offices of SEK 2,000-2,500 and 2,500-3,200 (eastern Kungsholmen). The trend in rents and reduced vacancy levels in City locations is expected to lead to a further increase in interest in the 'Malms' and inner suburbs.

In Solna there is strong interest in the development area of Arenastaden (the area around Solna Station), which is likely to increase further as the start of construction of the national arena approaches. In Solna Business Park, where Fabege owns most of the properties and is continuing to improve the stock, there is continued strong interest in premises. Rent levels are expected to remain stable above SEK 2,000/sq.m.

Demand for offices remains very good in Hammarby Sjöstad. Refurbishment and modernisation are making the area increasingly attractive, with a positive impact on rents, with peak rents today a little over SEK 2,000/sq.m.

The financial turmoil has led to some decrease in property market activity, but intererst among investors are judged still to be strong.

Property stock and management

Fabege's property stock at 31 December 2007 consisted of commercial and residential properties with a rental value of SEK 2.5bn. lettable space of 1.5 million sq.m and a book value including project properties of SEK 30.8bn. Of the rental value, 97% related to commercial premises while 3% related to residential properties. The economic occupancy rate was 92% (89). The average term of contracts in the commercial stock was 3.62 years.

New lettings were made during the period to an aggregate annual value of SEK 327m, while terminations totalled SEK 185m. Lettings included 13,500 sq.m to Carnegie and Max Matthiessen in Bocken 35 and 46 (City), 11,500 sq.m to Hennes & Mauritz in Marievik 19 (Marievik), and 10,000 sq,m to Ica in Paradiset 29 (western Kungsholmen).

Property acquisitions and sales

Eight properties were acquired during the year for a total of SEK 4,018m, while 17 were sold for SEK 2,919m. The sales yielded a profit after tax of around SEK 506m.

Projects and investments

The pace of sales increased sharply and decisions were taken on major project investments totalling around SEK 2.4m, of which SEK 2.1m was in progress at the end of the year, see table. Total investments of SEK 966m (934) were made in existing properties and projects, and related to land, new construction, extensions and conversions. The largest investments related to Luma 1 (Hammarby Sjöstad), Kåkenhusen 38 (Stockholm City) and Marievik 14 (Marievik).

Changes in value of properties

Fabege's property stock was externally valued at 31 December 2007. Its estimated market value totalled SEK 30.8bn. Unrealised changes in value of properties during the year totalled SEK 893m (911). The weighted average yield requirement in the valuation at 31 December was 5.5 per cent (5.8). The change in value during the fourth quarter was SEK 283m (369) and was principally attributable to rising rent levels in

the inner city of Stockholm and improvement profits in current projects.

Net worth per share

Equity per share at 31 December was SEK 67 (64). Excluding deferred tax on the surplus value of properties, net worth totalled SEK 76 (73).

At 31 December Fabege owned 7.635,622 of its own shares, equivalent to 4.28% of the total number of shares in the company. It is proposed that the bought-back shares be withdrawn through a resolution at the 2008 AGM.

Commission-free trading

In accordance with a resolution of the 2007 AGM, the Nomination Committee comprises representatives of the four largest shareholders: Anders Silverbåge (Brinova Fastigheter AB), Peter Lindh (Maths O. Sundqvist), Per Ovrén (Investment AB Öresund) and Carl Rosén (Andra AP-fonden).

Appeal against tax ruling

As reported previously, the Swedish National Tax Agency has decided to raise the tax assessment of the Fabege Group with regard to a number of property sales made through limited partnerships (see also press release dated 7 December 2006). The aggregate increase in tax assessment at 31 December 2007 is SEK 4,045m. The decisions have meant combined tax demands of SEK 1,132m plus a tax surchage of SEK 170m, i.e. a total of SEK 1,302m excluding interest. Fabege has strong reasons to challenge the Swedish tax agency's decision and it has been appealed. Fabege is also contesting the ruling of the Administrative

Court of Appeal that we reported on in our 2006 Annual Report (see pp. 44-45).

Risks and uncertainty factors

In addition to the information provided in the year-end report, there is a detailed description of the risks faced by the Group on pages 40-41 and 59 of the 2006 annual report. No significant changes in the company's risk assessments have been made since then.

Accounting policies

Fabege prepares its consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This year-end report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the last annual report. With effect from 1 January 2007 Fabege applies IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and additions to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This signifies expanded disclosure requirements with regard to financial instruments and disclosure of capital management. In addition to these, four interpretation statements from

IFRIC have come into effect which are applied from 1 January 2007, IFRIC 7, 8, 9 and 10. The new standards and interpretations have not had any impact on Fabege's income statement and balance sheet, cash flow statement and equity. The Parent Company prepares its accounts in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the most recent annual report.
