Chief executive's review

A few months into the new year the impact of the recession is becoming more apparent; it takes longer to conclude a deal or new let. So far, however, we have not noticed any pressure on rents or a marked increase in rental losses. The downturn in the market is expected, and we have taken measures to meet the new situation.

Our ambitions for 2009 are clear:

  • Increase tenant retention: Today many of our customers choose to stay put and renegotiate their contracts upon expiry. Businesses are uncertain about the future and therefore reluctant to make the decision to move. Our strategy of concentrating our property holdings to attractive locations enables us to meet tenants' wishes and offer solutions in existing premises or other nearby properties. We also work hard to ensure that we take good care of our customers and develop strong relationships.
  • Improve the surplus ratio: Our rental income is expected to remain stable throughout 2009. By squeezing costs and streamlining our organisation, we improved the surplus ratio by 3 percentage points in the first quarter.
  • Maintain a strong balance sheet: As in 2008, we have in the first few months of 2009 made net sales in line with project investments for the period. Two low-yielding properties with limited development potential were sold at prices that exceeded the most recent valuations.

It is highly satisfying that we managed to achieve a strong result from property management activities in the first quarter, the highest since operations were concentrated to Stockholm. Low vacancies, stable revenues and a strong cost focus have boosted earnings from property management activities. With interest rates moving in a direction that is favourable for Fabege, good access to capital and a portfolio of well located and attractive properties, I feel confident about the rest of 2009.

Christian Hermelin

This is Fabege

A highly concentrated and focused property company Fabege offers efficient premises that are adapted to tenant requirements, primarily offices but also retail and other premises, in the Stockholm area. The company manages and develops existing properties, and project development plays a prominent role in the Group.

Our portfolio is highly concentrated to a limited number of well located sub-markets with a strong development potential. A majority are located in the inner city of Stockholm and in Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad, where Fabege has strong market positions.

Fabege's business model

Fabege aims to create value by managing, improving and adapting its property portfolio, both through sales and acquisitions. Accrued values must be realised at the right time.

Acquisitions

Acquire properties with better growth opportunities than existing investment properties

Improvement

Realise the potential in our improvement and project portfolios

Property management

Property management in close proximity to the client to reduce vacancy levels and increase net operating income.

Sales

Divest properties offering limited growth opportunities

Performance in the first quarter

In the first few months of 2009 the weakening economic climate has been reflected mainly in a greater degree of caution in the market and the longer time it takes to reach a deal. Despite a noticeable softening, demand has remained relatively good. New lettings were SEK 150m and net lettings SEK 76m. A major new let to Vattenfall in Arenastaden accounts for about SEK 100m of total new lettings.

Fabege's focus is now on caring for and developing our relationships with our customers. Rents in renegotiated contracts increased by 6 per cent on average. The changed economic situation has so far had little impact on rents in Fabege's main markets, where rents can be characterised as stable. The occupancy

rate at the end of the period was 92 per cent. Rental income fell to SEK 548m (561) due to net sales of properties.

The loss after tax was SEK -81m (388). Unrealised changes in value were SEK -119m (88) due to continued pressure on property values.

The surplus ratio improved by 3 percentage points to 64 per cent (61), primarily due to more efficient management. The average interest rate in the loan portfolio fell by 32 basis points to 2.95 per cent.

Net asset value per share at 31 March was SEK 64 (67), excluding deferred tax on the surplus value of the properties.

Revenues and earnings1)

The loss after tax was SEK –81m (388) and earnings per share after dilution were SEK –0.49 (2.28). The profit after financial items was SEK 31m (348).

Rental income was SEK 548m (561) and net operating income SEK 348m (344). The fall in rental income is due to net sales of properties.

For comparable properties, rental income increased by 2 per cent and net operating income by 4 per cent.

Realised changes in the value of properties totalled SEK 3m (139) while unrealised changes were SEK –119m (88) due to increased yield in peripheral positions and in buildings where vacancies are expected to increase. Changes in the value of fixed income derivatives were SEK –7m (–15) and the net interest expense decreased to SEK –183m (–192) due to falling market rates. The interest expense includes a one-off charge of SEK –21m relating to interest on taxes paid (see the press release from 18 March 2009).

Tax

The tax expense (current and deferred) for the period was SEK –112m (40). The figure includes SEK –97m of taxes paid due to the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court not to allow a review of an ongoing tax case, as reported in press release dated 18 March 2009.

Cash flow

The profit increased liquidity by SEK 155m (264). After an increase of SEK 127m (1,947) in working capital, which varies primarily as a result of occupancy/final settlement for acquired and divested properties, operating activities resulted in a change in liquidity of SEK 28m (–1,683). Acquisitions and investments in properties exceeded sales by SEK 22m (–460). The total change in liquidity resulting from operating activities was thus SEK 6m (–1,223). Share buybacks totalled SEK 0m (206). Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were SEK 44m (54) after repayments of debts.

Financing

Fabege employs long-term credit lines with fixed terms and conditions and an average maturity of 6.4 years. The company's

creditors are major Nordic banks. Interest-bearing liabilities were SEK 18,886m (18,902) at the end of the period. The continued fall in market interest rates has partially affected Fabege's average interest rate, which fell from 3.27 per cent at year-end to 2.95 per cent at the end of period excluding the cost of unused committed lines of credit, or 3.01 per cent including this cost.

The interest rate on 44 per cent of Fabege's loan portfolio is fixed using fixed income derivatives. The average fixed-rate period was 27 months, including the effect of derivatives. At 31 March the company's derivatives portfolio amounted to SEK 8,250m with maturities of up to nine years. Of these, SEK 7,550m referred to callable swaps at levels ranging from 3.33 per cent to 3.98 per cent. The derivatives contracts were concluded in summer 2008 to improve cash flow in a situation where the market was expecting interest rates to rise. The aim was to obtain a discount on interest rates or fix rates at a level that was attractive from a long-term perspective.

In compliance with the accounting rules contained in IAS 39, the derivatives portfolio has been valued at market value and the change has been passed through the profit and loss account. At 31 March 2009 the deficit in the portfolio was SEK 478m. The derivatives portfolio has been valued at the present value of future cash flows. The change in value is of an accounting character and does not affect cash flow or leverage.

The average fixed-rate period for variable-rate loans is 37 days. Expected reductions in interest rates will thus quickly affect about 56 per cent of the loan portfolio.

At 31 March the company had unused committed lines of credit of SEK 3,309m. During the period the SEK 1,439m in new funding raised during the previous quarter was effected, and an additional SEK 875m in new project funding was raised in the market.

Fabege has available long-term credit facilities covering all outstanding commercial paper at any given time. In 2009 the volume of outstanding commercial paper has increased slightly, to SEK 804m at 31 March 2009.

The total loan volume includes loans for projects worth SEK 893m, on which the interest of SEK 5m has been capitalised.

1) The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the period January–March 2008, and for balance sheet items as at 31 December 2008.

Financial position and net asset value

Shareholders' equity at the end of the period was SEK 9,463m (9,873) and the equity/assets ratio was 31 per cent (32).

Equity per share was SEK 57 (60). Net asset value per share, excluding deferred tax on the surplus value of properties, was SEK 64 (67).

Fabege's property portfolio and property management

Fabege's activities in management and improvement of properties and project development are concentrated to a few select sub-markets with strong growth prospects in and around Stockholm. Stockholm's inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad are the company's main markets.

At 31 March Fabege owned 157 properties with a total rental value of SEK 2.4bn, a lettable floor area of 1.4m m2 and a book value, including project properties, of SEK 29.4bn.

Commercial premises, primarily offices, represented 97 per cent of the rental value and residential premises 3 per cent. The financial occupancy rate for the portfolio as a whole, including project properties, was 92 per cent (93). The vacancy rate in the investment property portfolio was 6 per cent.

New lettings totalled SEK 150m (54) during the period while net lettings were SEK 76m (–12). A 43,000 m2 let to Vattenfall in Arenastaden, Solna had a significant impact on net lettings.

Rent levels in renegotiated contracts (16 contracts covering a total area of approx. 7,000 m2 ) increased by an average of 6 per cent.

Developments in Fabege's main markets

Despite the weakening economy, demand for premises in Fabege's main markets remained relatively good, although the process of concluding a deal is now more protracted, with longer lead times from initial contact to agreed lease. The new economic sit-

2 The table refers to Fabege's property portfolio as at 31 March 2009. Income and expenses are reported as if the properties had been held during the whole period. The difference between reported net operating income, SEK 345m, and net operating income in the profit and loss account, SEK 348m, is explained by the fact that net operating income from divested properties has been excluded and acquired/completed properties have been adjusted upwards as if they had been owned/completed during the whole of the period January–March 2009.

Distribution of book value/market value

Project and land properties, SEK 2.1bn

uation has so far had little impact on market rents, which can be characterised as stable.

Changes in the property portfolio

Two properties were sold for SEK 384m in the first quarter. The sales resulted in a profit of SEK 3m before tax and SEK 2m after tax. One property was acquired for SEK 56m.

Changes in the value of properties

About 25 per cent of the properties have been externally valued as at 31 March. The remaining properties have been valued internally based on the latest valuations. The total market value at 31 March was SEK 29.4bn. Unrealised changes in the value of properties in the first quarter totalled SEK –119m (88). Negative changes in value referred to increased yield requirements in peripheral locations and in properties where vacancies are expected to increase.

Projects and investments

Fabege's project investments are forward-looking and are designed to reduce vacancy rates and raise rents in the portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and adding value.

A total of SEK 332m (470) was invested in existing properties and projects. The investments referred to new builds, extensions and conversions. The largest investments are shown in the table below.

Major projects (see also table Projects in progress)

The project in Bocken 35 and 46 at the junction of Lästmakargatan-Regeringsgatan in Stockholm City is proceeding according to plan and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The Paradiset 29 project, an office and retail property on Kungsholmen, is proceeding according to plan, and the retail area will open in August 2009. Since year-end several major office lets have been agreed. IFS and Fazer (after the end of the period) have signed contracts for 2,300 m2 and 3,000 m2 , respectively. Paradiset 29 has been certified under the European Commission's GreenBuilding programme.

Fabege's Päronet 8 property in Solna Strand is undergoing an internal renovation and conversion. The project will be completed in the first quarter of 2010 and is fully let to the Swedish Tax Agency.

Fabege's principle is that no investment projects should be initiated before the project has essentially been let and fully funded.

Staff

At the end of the period the Fabege Group had 147 employees (141).

Parent company

Sales during the period were SEK 24m (28) and earnings before appropriations and tax were SEK –91m (–111). Net investments in property, equipment and shares were SEK –750m (1). The parent company applies Recommendation RFR 2.2 Accounting for

Share buyback programme

The 2009 AGM passed a resolution authorising the Board, during the period up to the next AGM, to buy back shares in the company. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of outstanding shares at any time. No share buybacks were made during the period. At 31 March 2009 the company held 4,929,400 treasury shares, representing 2.9 per cent of the total number of registered shares.

Annual General Meeting on 31 March 2009

At Fabege's Annual General Meeting held on 31 March the shareholders approved the Board's proposal for a dividend for 2008 of SEK 2.00 per share. For information about other resolutions and AGM documents, see the Fabege website.

Ruling of Administrative Court of Appeal upheld

In a ruling delivered in 2006 the Stockholm Administrative Court of Appeal dismissed Fabege's appeal in a tax case concerning a review of Fabege Storstockholm AB's income tax assessment for 2002. In March 2009 the Supreme Administrative Court decided not to allow the case to be heard, and thus rejected the company's application for a review. The ruling of the Supreme Administrative Court means that the Tax Agency's decision to increase Fabege's taxable income by SEK 346m has been upheld, resulting in a tax expense, including interest, of SEK 119m. The increase in taxable income is due to the fact that the Tax Agency takes the view that a dividend paid by a subsidiary to Fabege Storstockholm AB is taxable. The reason for this is that the Tax Agency has reclassified Fabege Storstockholm AB from a property management company to a property trading company. As Fabege, along with external legal and tax advisors, did not share this view, the company applied for the case to be reviewed by the Supreme Administrative Court (see also page 38 of Fabege's Annual Report 2008). This item has previously been reported as a contingent liability.

Ongoing tax case

As announced previously, the Swedish Tax Agency has decided to increase the Fabege Group's taxable income in respect of a number of property sales made through limited partnerships (see also the press release from 7 December 2006). At 31 March 2009 the total increase in taxable income is SEK 4,045m. The decisions have resulted in total tax demands of SEK 1,132m plus a tax penalty of SEK 170m, i.e. a total demand of SEK 1,302m excluding interest. Fabege has strong reasons to contest the Tax Agency's decisions and has therefore appealed the decisions. No provision has been made in Fabege's balance sheet, but the amount has been recognised as a contingent liability, as in previous financial reports.

Billion deal with Vattenfall

In January, Vattenfall signed a contract with Fabege to lease 43 000 m2 office in Arenastaden in Solna. The new office building is expected to be completed in 2012 and the twelve year lease contract has an annual rental value of approximately SEK 100 million.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations are primarily attributable to changes in rent levels, vacancy rates and interest rates. A detailed description of the effect of these changes on consolidated earnings is given in the sensitivity analysis in the 2008 Annual Report (page 37).

Properties are reported at fair value and changes in value are recognised in the profit and loss account. The effects of changes in value on consolidated earnings, the equity/assets ratio and leverage are shown in the sensitivity analysis in the 2008 Annual Report (page 37).

Financial risk, i.e. the risk of insufficient access to long-term funding through loans, and Fabege's management of this risk are described in the 2008 Annual Report (page 51).

No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have been made after the publication of the annual report for 2008.

Under its adopted targets for capital structure, Fabege aims to have an equity/assets ratio of at least 30 per cent and an interest coverage ratio of at least 2 times (incl. realised changes in value).

Accounting principles

Fabege prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. From 1 January 2009 the Group applies the new standard, IFRS 8 Operating Segments, which requires disclosure of information as used internally by management. As a result, the Group's reportable segments have changed and two reportable segments have been defined for the Group, Investment Properties and Project/Improvement Properties.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements has been revised with effect from 1 January 2009. The revised standard states that transactions with owners must be separated from other transactions resulting in a change in the value of the company's assets and liabilities. As the Group has not previously reported any nonowner changes in equity, the only changes required in Fabege's financial reporting under the revised standard refer to the naming of the consolidated balance sheet, profit and loss account, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement. These reports will in future be called: Statement of financial position, Statement of comprehensive income, Statement of changes in equity and Statement of cash flows.

IAS 23, which relates to borrowing costs, applies from 1 January 2009. Fabege currently capitalises borrowing costs that are attributable to the purchase, construction or production of an asset that takes a significant amount of time to complete for its intended use or sale. IAS 40 has been revised in respect of investment properties so that projects in progress must now also be stated at fair value. This change has no significant impact on Fabege. In other respects, the Group has applied the same accounting principles and valuation methods as in the last annual report. The parent company prepares its accounts in accordance with RFR 2.2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and has applied the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the last annual report.

In accordance with IFRS 8, segments are reported as viewed by management, i.e. broken down into two segments: Investment Properties and Project/Improvement Properties.

Rental income and property expenses as well as realised and unrealised changes in value including tax 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 will be allocated to either segment based on the period of time that the property belonged to the segment. Central administration and items in net financial items 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). This applies also to tax that is not directly attributable to earnings from property management activities or sales.

Assets and liabilities are stated as at the balance sheet date and the property asset is directly attributable to the respective segments. Other assets and liabilities are allocated in a standardised manner based on their share of the property value.
