A record hard to beat was set as a result of the lettings to TeliaSonera and SEB in Arenastaden. Net letting for the quarter is unprecedented in Fabege's history and beckons continuing value creation, while Arenastaden's position as a modern and attractive workplace was further strengthened. I am very proud that Fabege is given the trust to create future office facilities for TeliaSonera and SEB. Modern offices with stringent environmental and energy requirements, excellent location in terms of transport links and a wide range of services for employees were a few of the requirements stipulated in the procurement. It is gratifying to see that Fabege could meet all requirements. The fact that they chose Arenastaden confirms our success in creating an attractive site and attracting two of Sweden's largest companies to the district. Both agreements are Green Leases, which enables us to work closely with our new tenants to operate the properties in a long-term responsible manner. Our line-up and favorable teamwork are solid contributing factors to the positive results for the past six months, and I am proud of our coworkers, who so often deliver results far beyond expectations.
Fabege's property management portfolio offers favorable potential to create value and we work constantly to increase customer satisfaction. This is reflected in, among other factors, the repurchasing level, which during the period amounted to 72 per cent. The best efficiency measure for property management is the operating surplus, which amounted to 71 per cent for the first six months of the year, which also represents a record in our history, and which also means that the goal for the fullyear of 70 per cent is now within reach. We also expect that cash flow in property management will continue to strengthen during the second half of the year.
Thanks to the signing of new contracts, we are accelerating our project operations. Ahead, we see the potential to increase the investment volume to SEK 2 billion per year during the coming years. The investments create value and future cash flow while simultaneously raising the quality of the project portfolio.
The strong transaction market makes it possible to highlight Fabege's strategic streamlining. Sales during the first six months amounted to SEK 1,310m and are in line with Fabege's ambition to concentrate its portfolio to office properties in prioritised areas, while it also provides the conditions for value-creating investments in projects and stronger future cash flow.
Our goal is to have a healthy balance between investments and sales and a loan-to-value ratio of a maximum of 60 per cent. In this manner, Fabege can constantly develop its property portfolio, increase its potential and quality, while at the same time providing offices that meet demands.
Looking ahead, we note increased activity in project activities and in the transaction market. Given the current favorable financial climate, combined with favorable demand on the rental market, Fabege has all the conditions to deliver favorable earnings for 2014, to which all operating segments will contribute.
Profit before tax for the period declined to SEK 686m (1,239), which was entirely due to the negative value changes in the portfolio of derivative instruments. Net operating income and profit from property management rose. The realised and unrealised value changes in the property portfolio also rose compared with the year-earlier period. Profit after tax for the period was SEK 563m (1,031), corresponding to SEK 3.40 per share (6.25). Rental income amounted to SEK 1,039m (1,032) and net operating income increased to SEK 738m (704). In an identical portfolio, rental income rose slightly less than 2 per cent and net operating income by slightly more than 6 per cent. Decreased discounts in the coming quarters outweigh the decrease in rental income due to the sale of properties. The surplus ratio increased to 71 per cent (68) primarily because of the warm and snowless winter season.
Realised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 135m (95) and unrealised changes in value to SEK 511m (430). The SEK 370m (206) unrealised change in the value of the property management portfolio was primarily attributable to properties with higher rent as well as a marginally lower yield requirement primarily in Stockholm city center. The weighted yield declined to 5.5 per cent when rounded off (5.6 at yearend). The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 141m (224), primarily because of development gains in the major project properties.
The share in profit of associated companies was a loss of SEK 40m (loss:21) and is mainly attributable to Tornet Fastigheter AB (one-off effect on sales of properties)and Sweden Arena Management KB. Lower long-term interest rates resulted in an SEK 287m increase in the deficit value of the derivative portfolio (compared with a reduced deficit value of SEK 417m in the year-earlier period.) During the period 850,000 shares in Catena were divested. Holdings thereafter amounted to approximately 10.2 per cent. Realised and unrealised changes in the shareholdings, primarily for Catena, amounted to SEK 10m (-3). Net interest expense declined to SEK -351m (-353). Higher borrowing was counteracted by lower market interest rates.
Segment reporting was adapted during the fourth quarter of 2013 to comply with Fabege's follow-up of the three areas encompassed by the business model. This resulted in the transaction business being broken out and recognised separately. The comparative figures have been adjusted to match the new segment distribution. The Property management segment generated net operating income of SEK 714m (674), corresponding to a surplus ratio of 71 per cent (69). The occupancy rate was 93 per cent (93). Profit from property management was SEK 320m (312). Unrealised changes in property values amounted to SEK 370m (206).
The Property Development segment generated net operating income of SEK 24m (30), corresponding to a surplus ratio of 69 per cent (61). Profit from property management was SEK -3m (loss: 12). Unrealised changes in property values amounted to SEK 141m (224). The Transaction segment, through the sale of six properties, realised changes in value of SEK 135m (95).
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 12,618m (12,551) at the end of the period and the equity/assets ratio was 35 per cent (35). Shareholders' equity per share totalled SEK 76 (76). Excluding deferred tax on fair value adjustments of properties, net asset value per share was SEK 89 (88).

Fabege employs long-term lines of credit subject to fixed terms and conditions. At 30 June 2014, these had an average maturity of 4.0 years. The company's lenders are primarily the major Nordic banks.
Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the period totalled SEK 20,402m (18,631) and the average interest rate was 3.30 per cent excluding and 3.37 per cent including costs for unutilised committed lines of credit. At 30 June, unutilised committed lines of credit amounted to SEK 2,958m. The loan-to-value ratio, which increased as a result of tax payments pertaining to Administrative Court judgments, amounted to 61 per cent. At future settlement of the outstanding purchase price of approximately SEK 500m, the loan-to-value ratio is again approaching Fabege's target level of a maximum of 60 per cent.
During the second quarter, a new loan facility of SEK 975m was signed, for the financing of the construction of Nationalarenan 8, TeliaSonera's new headquarters in Arenastaden. The financing of SEB's new office in Pyramiden 4, Arenastaden, was also completed in the form of a committed financing offer on agreed conditions.
Fabege has a commercial paper programme of SEK 5,000m. At the end of the period, outstanding commercial paper amounted to SEK 2,279m (2,515). Fabege has available long-term credit facilities covering all outstanding commercial paper at any given time. Fabege also has a covered property bond of SEK 1,170m, which will mature in February 2016. Furthermore, on 30 June, Fabege had outstanding bonds totalling SEK 1,385m within the framework of the bond programme, which was introduced via the co-owned company Svensk Fastighetsfinansiering AB (SFF). The programme has a total limit of SEK 5,000m. The bonds are secured by collateral in property mortgage deeds. SFF is jointly owned by Fabege, Wihlborgs and Peab. Fabege owns 33.3 per cent of the company.
The average fixed-rate period for Fabege's loan portfolio was 2.0 years, including the effects of derivative instruments. The average fixed interest term for variableinterest loans was 67 days.
Fabege's derivatives portfolio comprised interest-rate swaps totalling SEK 6 bn, with terms of maturity extending through 2021 and carrying fixed interest at annual rates of between 1.87 and 2.73 per cent before margins. Fabege also holds callable swaps totalling SEK 5,7bn at interest rates of between 2.87 and 3.98 per cent before margins and maturity between 2016 and 2018. During the second quarter interest rate swaps totalling SEK 1 bn matured. Interest rates on 57 per cent of Fabege's loan portfolio were fixed using fixed-income derivatives. The derivatives portfolio is measured at market value and the change in value is recognized in profit or loss. At 30 June 2014, the recognised deficit value of the portfolio was SEK 734m (447). The derivatives portfolio is measured at the present value of future cash flows. The change in value is of an accounting nature and has no impact on the company's cash flow. At the due date, the market value of derivative instruments is always zero.
Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 6m, mainly pertaining to opening charges for borrowing agreements and bond programmes. Opening charges are accrued over the duration of the agreements.
The total loan volume at the end of the quarter included SEK 404m (277) in loans for projects, of which interest of SEK 5m has been capitalised.
Tax for the period amounted to SEK -123m (-208). Tax for the period was charged with an additional SEK 58m pertaining to ongoing tax matter since SEK14m of the reserved amount was reversed during the second quarter. Operating taxes are calculated at a rate of 22 per cent of taxable earnings. Property sales led to deferred tax income totalling SEK 60m.
Cash flow from operating activities before change in working capital amounted to a deficit of SEK -1,068m (383). Paid income tax comprised, in its entirety, pertaining to ongoing tax cases totalling SEK 1,473m. Change in working capital had a positive impact of SEK -20m (-312) on cash flow. Investing activities had a negative impact of SEK 386m (- 481) on cash flow, while financing activities had a positive impact of SEK 868 (223) on cash flow. Cash flow related to investing activities was driven by projects. Regarding financing activities the cash flow was affected by loans raised including payment related to ongoing tax matters. Overall, changes in cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 165m (-187) for the period.

Fabege's Property Management and Property Development activities are concentrated to a few selected submarkets in and around Stockholm. Stockholm inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad are the company's principal markets. On 30 June 2014, Fabege owned 87 properties with a total rental value of SEK 2.3bn, lettable floor space of 1.1m sqm and a carrying amount of SEK 33.3bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 2,4bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 92 per cent (93 at year-end) following earlier announced vacancies at the beginning of the year. The occupancy rate in the property management portfolio was 93 per cent (93).
New lettings for the period amounted to SEK 327m (79), while net lettings were SEK 258m (23). A few lease terminations contributed to a slight decline in net lettings, excluding project lettings, during the second quarter. Major lettings during the period pertained to the letting to TeliaSonera in the Nationalarenan 8 property, Arenastaden, and SEB in the property Pyramiden 4, Arenastaden. Furthermore, a number of smaller contracts for Property Management lettings were signed. The retention rate during the quarter was 72 per cent (62).
Efforts to extend and renegotiate leases with existing customers were successful. A lease value of approximately SEK 53m was renegotiated during the period. Rent levels in all renegotiated contracts rose with an average of 7 per cent.
Six properties were divested during the first half-year, as part of the continued strategy of streamlining Fabege's business and focusing on office properties in prioritised areas and a strengthened cash flow.
The combined purchase consideration for the divestments was SEK 1,310m. The transactions generated a profit of SEK 135m before tax and SEK 195m after tax.
The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Approximately 40 per cent of the properties were externally valued at 30 June 2014 and the remainder was internally valued based on the most recent external valuations. The combined market value was SEK 33,3bn (33.4).
Unrealised changes in value amounted to SEK 511m (430). The average required yield declined slightly during the period, to a rounded off figure of 5.5 per cent (5.6). The SEK 370m (206) increase in the value of the property management portfolio was primarily attributable to rising rents and properties for which the risk of vacancies has declined. The project portfolio contributed to a change in value of SEK 141m (224), primarily because of development gains in the major project properties.
The purpose of Fabege's project investments is to reduce vacancy rates and increase rents in the property portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and adding value. The development of properties is a key feature of Fabege's business model and should make a significant contribution to consolidated profit. The aim is to achieve a return of at least 20 per cent on invested capital.
In 2014, the company's ambition is to maintain a high rate of development in the project portfolio, with an investment volume of approximately SEK 1.6bn during the year, even if the investments during the first half-year lag behind somewhat. The investment rate is expected to increase further in coming years, as the new project lettings are completed. Investments in existing properties and projects during the second quarter totalled SEK 520m (709). The investments pertained to new builds, extensions and conversions. The return on capital invested in the project portfolio was 27 per cent. A large portion of the investments was related to value-enhancing investments, which also contributed to the value growth in the property management portfolio.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the final phase of the refurbishment of Nöten 4, Solna strand, was completed and the Swedish Tax Agency moved in. At year-end, the property was transferred to the property management portfolio.
During the second quarter 2014 the construction of Båtturen 2, Hammarby Sjöstad was completed except for the tenant improvements regarding vacant spaces. The first tenants have moved in. The occupancy rate amounted to 45 per cent at half-year. The property will be transferred to the property management portfolio as of the third quarter 2014.
The project involving the new build of the Nationalarenan 8 property (TeliaSonera's office) is proceeding as planned. A turnkey contract has been signed with Peab concerning the entire project. The work currently under way pertains to the raising of structures and facade assembly, as well as certain initiated installation work. The investment, including acquisition of development rights, totals approximately SEK 1.3bn. The property is fully let to TeliaSonera, with occupancy scheduled for spring 2016.
The new build of a hotel on the Järvakrogen 3 property continues. Foundation engineering is currently under way. Veidekke/Arcona have been procured as turnkey contractors. The investment amounts to about SEK 260m. The property is fully let to The Winery Hotel, with occupancy scheduled for the first quarter of 2016.
The Uarda 1 (building C) project at Arenastaden is also proceeding as planned. The investment amounts to about SEK 570m. Earthworks and foundation engineering are currently under way. A turnkey contract has been signed with Peab. Raising of the structure will start during the summer. The leasing rate is 40 per cent.
The decision was made to invest approximately SEK 2.3 bn for the building of SEB offices in the Pyramiden 4, Arenastaden. The project will begin in the summer and is expected to be ready for occupancy in two phases spring 2017 and spring 2018. The property is fully let to SEB.
Fabege works actively for a sustainable urban environment that satisfies the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Reducing the carbon footprint and promoting a healthy working environment for the people who are present each day in the company's buildings are central to Fabege's sustainability effort.
Fabege's activities with Green leases have long been successful. The second quarter will be hard to beat with the two new Green Leases with TeliaSonera and SEB, which together cover more than 100,000 sq.m. During the period 93 per cent of the newly signed space comprised Green Leases.

At the end of the period, 137 people (132) were employed in the Fabege Group.
Sales during the period amounted to SEK 65m (71) and the result before appropriations and tax was a negative SEK 375m (pos: 361).
Net investments in property, equipment and shares totalled SEK 0m (0).
The 2014 AGM renewed the authorisation of the Board, no longer than up to the next AGM, to buy back and transfer 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 shares were bought back during the period.
As previously announced, the Swedish Tax Agency has decided to increase taxation on the Fabege Group concerning a number of properties sold through limited partnerships (see also Fabege's Annual Report for 2013, pages 61–62). The transactions derive from the former company Tornet, the old Fabege and the old Wihlborgs during the years 2003–2005. Since 2007, Fabege has been involved in legal proceedings in the Administrative Court and the Administrative Court of Appeal.
The Administrative Court of Appeal has handed down rulings in approximately 80 per cent of the cases. The Administrative Court of Appeal found that the Swedish Tax Evasion Act is applicable and that the transactions in question are to be taxed. Fabege had sought leave for appeal, which has been rejected in the Supreme Administrative Court. Cases corresponding to total exposure of about SEK 400m are being pursued further in the Administrative Court and the Administrative Court of Appeal.
Fabege's total exposure amounts to SEK 6,843m and the total tax demand, including miscellaneous charges and fees, to SEK 2,075m. Provisions have been posted in full for the entire amount.
In total, in accordance with the Administrative Court of Appeal's verdicts as of 30 June 2014, Fabege has paid about SEK 1.9bn. Backed by a strong balance sheet and available credit facilities, Fabege is capable of coping with the remaining tax payment.
Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations pertain primarily to changes in rents, vacancies and interest rates. A more detailed description is presented in the risk section of the 2013 Annual Report (pages 39–41). The effect of the changes on consolidated profit is shown in the risk analysis and in the sensitivity analysis in the 2013 Directors' Report (page 58–63).
Properties are recognised at fair value and changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. The effects of changes in value on consolidated profit, the equity/assets ratio and the loan-to-value ratio are also presented in the risk analysis and the sensitivity analysis in the 2013 annual report. Financial risk, defined as the risk of insufficient access to longterm funding through loans, and Fabege's management of this risk are described in the 2013 annual report (pages 40-41 and 73-74).
No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have arisen following publication of the 2013 annual report. Fabege's aims for the capital structure are to have an equity/assets ratio of at least 30 per cent and an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.0 (including realised changes in value).

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. During the first half of 2014, the warm and snowless winter season contributed to lower operating costs and a strong surplus ratio.
Fabege is well equipped with a strong balance sheet and a well-located property portfolio with good development potential. We envision an increased activity in both the project activity and the transaction market. With the favorable financial climate that prevails, and in combination with good demand in the rental market, Fabege has all the prerequisites for being able to deliver a good performance in 2014 with contribution from all operating segments.
Fabege prepares its consolidated financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim 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 latest annual report, with the exception of IFRS 11 and IFRIC 21 Levies.
The Parent Company prepares its financial statements according to 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.
As of 2014, Fabege applies IFRIC 21 Levies and IFRS 11. IFRIC 21 Levies specifies that state fees, for Fabege property tax, have to be recognised entirely as a debt when the obligation arises. Since this obligation arises annually on 1 January, Fabege has recognised the entire liability starting with the interim report for January-June 2014. In addition, a prepaid cost of property tax has been recognised, which was distributed straight-line over the financial year. The adoption of IFRS11 has not had a significant effect on Fabege's financial statements.
The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer hereby certify that the half-yearly report gives a true and fair overview of the business, financial position and earnings of the parent company and the Group and describes material risks and uncertainties faced by the company and the companies included in the Group.

Fabege is one of Sweden's leading property companies, focusing mainly on letting and managing office premises as well as property development. The company offers modern premises in prime locations in fastgrowing submarkets in the Stockholm region, such as 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 brings the company closer to its customers, which, coupled with Fabege's extensive local expertise, creates a solid foundation for efficient property management and high occupancy. As of 30 June 2014, Fabege owned 87 properties with a total market value of SEK 33.3bn. The rental value was SEK 2.3bn.
Fabege's business concept focuses on commercial properties in the Stockholm region, with a particular emphasis on a limited number of fast-growing sub-markets. Fabege aims to create value by managing, improving and actively adjusting its property portfolio through sales and acquisitions. Accrued value will be realised at the right time.
Fabege's operational activities are conducted in three business areas: Property Management, Property Development and Transaction.
Fabege's strategy is to create value by managing and developing the property portfolio and through transactions acquiring properties with favourable growth potential and divesting properties located outside the company's prioritised areas. Fabege's properties are located in the most liquid market in Sweden.
Attractive locations lead to a low vacancy rate in the property management portfolio. Modern properties permit flexible solutions and attract customers. With its concentrated portfolio and high-profile local presence, investments aimed at raising the attractiveness of an area benefit many of Fabege's customers.
Fabege's operations are impacted by a number of external factors, which together with the transaction volume and the trend in the office market in Stockholm form the prerequisites for the company's success.
The Stockholm region is one of the five metropolitan areas in Western Europe where the population is increasing the most. According to forecasts, by 2030 Stockholm County will have half a million inhabitants more than today. The largest growth will also occur among people in the active labour force, which will result in higher demand for office premises.
New technology and new work methods contribute to higher 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 increasingly requested, as well as environmental classification.
The trend for both the Swedish and global economy has an impact on the property market. Low vacancy rates in Stockholm's inner city and strengthened economic climate have historically meant rising rents.
Sustainability issues are becoming increasingly important, with respect to both individual properties and the entire area. There is an increase in interest in environmental consideration pertaining to choices of material and energy saving measures. 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.
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.
Qualified property development is the second key cornerstone of our business. Fabege has long-standing expertise in driving extensive property development projects to attract longterm tenants to properties that have not yet been fully developed and can be redesigned based on the customer's specific requirements.
Property transactions are an integral part of Fabege's business model and make a significant contribution to consolidated profit. The company continuously analyses its property portfolio to take advantage of opportunities to increase value growth, through both acquisitions and divestments.
