Rental growth and increasing values

Improved earnings from property management and solid value growth in both management and project portfolios produced strong earnings for the first six months.

Continued robust market boosts the coffers

Conditions on Stockholm's property market are currently excellent. Rising rent levels, falling yield requirements and persistently low interest rates combine to provide the conditions for both increased cash flow and rising property values. During the spring we focused our attention on new lettings and renegotiations, and we can now note new record levels in several of our properties, not just in the city but also in both Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad.

Our surplus ratio for the quarter ended up at 70 per cent, which is below that of the year-earlier period, largely due to more normal winter conditions and the sale of Uarda 5. However, we stand by our objective of achieving a surplus ratio of 75 per cent within five years.

It is pleasing to see an improvement in earnings from property management. We anticipate that we will see continued growth in rental income, while interest costs remain low.

Effective business model creates value

All parts of the business model are performing well. The sale of Uarda 5, Arenastaden, in February established a new yield level, which we are now seeing in the top suburb locations as well. In the second quarter we announced a new major lease with 3, which will be establishing their office next to Globen. We are therefore launching an additional project, this time on the south side of Stockholm. In the first half of the year we completed two major projects in Arenastaden. Other projects are proceeding according to plan and contributing strong value growth, well above our target of 20 per cent.

Value growth in the property management portfolio was also very strong. In the first quarter it was primarily fuelled by falling yield requirements. The average yield requirement in the portfolio continued to drop during the second quarter, but higher rent levels had an increasingly positive impact on property values.

Green financing in focus

In May we saw our first issue under our newly established green MTN programme. There was a considerable amount of interest and bond financing is a competitive complement to our bilateral bank financing. Now the banks are also coming on board, and in Q2 we signed our first green bank financing agreement. I anticipate sustainable financing becoming an increasingly significant proportion of our total financing, and that in the long term it will also offer better terms.

Market outlook

Brexit has created concern on the equities and finance markets. This concern is currently manifesting itself in the form of lower long-term interest rates. However, it is too early to predict how it will affect economic trends going forward.

Both the property and rental markets remain strong, with accelerating rent levels and rising property values. We achieved high earnings in the first half of the year and the conditions are in place for strong earnings for the full year 2016. More completed projects will increase rental volumes which, combined with continued operational efficiency and low interest expense, will generate better profit from property management. Fabege is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities ahead.

Earnings Jan–June 2016¹

Increased rental income and lower interest expenses led to a 10 per cent rise in profit from property management. Continued value growth in the property portfolio contributed to the extremely strong earnings for the first six months.

Revenues and earnings

Profit after tax for the period increased to SEK 2,730m (1,535), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 16.51 (9.28). Profit before tax for the period increased to SEK 3,115m (1,951). Unrealised value changes in the property portfolio increased due to the strong trend in the rental and property market.

Rental income amounted to SEK 1,039m (998) and net operating income was SEK 724m (715). Completed projects contributed to income growth, which was to some extent offset by the divestment of Uarda 5. In an identical portfolio, rental income rose by 7 per cent and net operating income increased by just over 5 per cent. The surplus ratio fell to just over 70 per cent (72) following a more normal winter, and as a result of the divestment of Uarda 5. The increase in central administration costs was largely due to the fact that the provision for Fabege's profit-sharing scheme has doubled in accordance with a decision by the AGM.

Realised changes in property values totalled SEK 162m (1) and related to profit from the sale of Uarda 5 in Arenastaden. Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 2,718m (1,380). The SEK 2,016m (1,162) unrealised rise in the value of the property management portfolio resulted from properties with higher rent levels and a lower yield requirement in all Fabege submarkets. The average yield requirement declined to 4.75 per cent (4.9 at year-end). The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 702m (218), primarily due to development gains in the major project properties.

The share in profit of associated companies amounted to SEK –7m (–21). The item included a positive gain of SEK 18m from the liquidation of joint operations in Gamla SFF. Otherwise, the item related mainly to Arenabolaget i Solna KB.

Unrealised changes in value in the derivative portfolio totalled SEK –173m (137), primarily due to lower long-term interest rates. Net interest expense declined to SEK –273m (–293), due to lower market interest rates.

Segment reporting

The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 676m (685), corresponding to a surplus ratio of 72 per cent (72). The occupancy rate was 94 per cent (92). Profit from property management was SEK 438m (358). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 2,016m (1,162).

The Property Development segment reported net operating income of SEK 48m (30), making a surplus ratio of 48 per cent (58). Earnings from property management totalled SEK –30m (11). Unrealised changes in property values amounted to SEK 702m (218).

The Transactions segment realised changes in value of SEK 162m (1) through the divestment of the Uarda 5 property.

Reclassifications during the period between the Property Management and Property Development segments are stated in the Note on Segment reporting on page 13.

Financing

Fabege employs long-term credit facilities subject to fixed terms and conditions. The company's creditors mainly comprise the major Nordic banks.

Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the quarter totalled SEK 20,574m (21,068), with an average interest rate of 2.71 per cent excluding and 2.82 per cent including commitment fees on the undrawn portion of committed credit facilities. Unutilised committed lines of credit amounted to SEK 2,870m.

Through the establishment of an MTN programme subject to special conditions with regard to sustainability and environment, Fabege launched a new green financing opportunity in April of SEK 2,000m. An initial issue of SEK 600m with a maturity of two years was carried out in May. During the quarter, the company also signed its first green bank loan, which was Fabege's fourth green form of financing. The company has previous green financing from the European Investment Bank, as well as a green bond via Nya SFF. As the company's properties gain environmental certification, the objective is for financing to be sustainable as well, and Fabege welcomes and encourages the new responsible financing opportunities that are being established on the market.

During the quarter, the company also extended existing credit agreements totalling SEK 2,800m for periods of three and four years respectively.

On 30 June, Fabege had outstanding bonds of SEK 1,273m via Nya Svensk FastighetsFinansiering AB (Nya SFF), of which SEK 406m related to green bonds.

Fabege has a commercial paper programme of SEK 5,000m. At mid-year, outstanding commercial paper totalled SEK 3,974m (4,496). Fabege has available credit facilities covering all outstanding commercial paper at any given time.

At 30 June, the average maturity was 4.2 years and the loan-to-value ratio was 49 per cent. The average fixed-interest term for Fabege's loan portfolio was 2.5 years, including the effects of derivative instruments. The average fixed-interest term for variable-interest loans was 81 days. During the period, additional fixed-interest periods of 10 years were applied to SEK 700m. Fabege's derivatives portfolio then comprised interest-rate swaps totalling SEK 9,700m with terms of maturity extending through 2026 and carrying fixed interest at annual rates of between 0.85 and 2.73 per cent before margins. Fabege also holds callable swaps totalling SEK 5,700m at interest rates of between 2.87 and 3.98 per cent before margins and with maturity between 2016 and 2018. Interest rates on 75 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 recognised in profit or loss. At 30 June 2016, the recognised deficit value of the portfolio was SEK 831m (658). 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 15m, mainly pertaining to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and bond programmes. The total loan volume per quarter included SEK 1,930m (1,506) in loans for projects, on which interest of SEK 27m (17) had been capitalised.

Tax

Tax on profit for the period amounted to SEK –385m (–416). The figure includes the resolution of a deferred tax liability in the amount of SEK 261m in connection with property sales. Operating taxes are calculated at a rate of 22 per cent on taxable earnings.

Financial position and net asset value

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 18,630m (16,479) at the end of the period and the equity/assets ratio was 42 per cent (39). Shareholders' equity per share was SEK 113 (100). Excluding deferred tax on fair value adjustments of properties, net asset value per share was SEK 133 (118). EPRA NAV was SEK 131 (115). The dividend totalling SEK 579m that was adopted by the AGM on 11 April 2016 reduced shareholders' equity in the second quarter.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 427m (425). Changes in working capital had an impact on cash flow of SEK –25m (957). Investing activities had a positive impact of SEK 834m (–1,340) on cash flow, while financing activities had a negative impact of SEK –1,073m (346) on cash flow. In investing activities, cash flow was driven by property transactions and by projects. Overall, cash and cash equivalents changed by a total of SEK 163m (388) during the period.

BREAKDOWN OF SOURCES OF FUNDING

First green MTN issue SEK 600m

Operations Jan–June 2016¹

New project lettings and several management lettings combined with a high retention rate to generate a high level of net lettings. The strong rental market meant continued rising rent levels for new and renegotiated leases. Higher rent levels and lower yield requirements on the property market also resulted in persistently rising property values.

Property portfolio and property management

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. On 30 June 2016, Fabege owned 85 properties with a total rental value of SEK 2.3bn, lettable floor space of 1.1m sqm and a carrying amount of SEK 42.4bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 6.7bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 93 per cent (92). The occupancy rate in the property management portfolio was 94 per cent (92).

During the first half of the year, 97 new agreements were signed at a total rental value of SEK 136m (107), of which 80 per cent pertained to Green leases. Lease terminations totalled SEK 53m (56), while net lettings amounted to SEK 83m (51). Major new lettings in the second quarter related to project lettings to 3 in Pelaren 1, Globen and Ambea in Uarda 6, Arenastaden, as well as a number of management lettings. Efforts to extend and renegotiate existing customer leases were consistently successful. A lease value of just over SEK 92m was renegotiated during the period, with an average rise in the rental value of 27 per cent. The volume of renegotiations increased as expected in the second quarter and a few individual leases had an extremely positive effect on the rental value. The retention rate during the period was 80 per cent (81).

Changes in the property portfolio

The Fräsaren 9 property in Solna Business Park was taken over in the first quarter. The purchase price was SEK 152m. The property is classified as a development property. In the second quarter, the investment property Sadelplatsen 1, Järva krog, was acquired and taken over. The purchase price was SEK 172m. Furthermore, the Uarda 5 property was sold to Union Investment for a purchase price of just over SEK 2.2bn. The sale generated a capital gain of SEK 159m before taxes and SEK 420m after taxes (including resolution of a deferred tax liability).

Through reallotment, the Oxen Mindre 33, City, property was divided into two properties, in which the residential part was partitioned into a separate 3D property above.

Changes in value of properties

The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Just over 30 per cent of the properties were externally valued in the second quarter and the remainder were internally valued based on the most recent external valuations. The total market value was SEK 42.4bn (40.3).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 2,718m (1,380). The average yield requirement declined during the period to a rounded off figure of 4.75 per cent (4.9). The SEK 2,016m (1,162) change in the value of the property management portfolio primarily resulted from the lower yield requirement in the market, and to properties with rising rent levels. The project portfolio contributed to a change in value of SEK 702m (218), mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

¹The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the period January–June 2015 and for balance sheet items at 31 December 2015.

Projects and investments

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. Property development 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. Another aim is to have all new builds certified under BREEAM-SE.

During the period, investments in existing properties and projects totalled SEK 1,058m (1,006), of which investments in projects and development properties accounted for SEK 858m (841). The return on capital invested in the project portfolio was 82 per cent. Revaluations of three project properties that are either completed or near completion contributed to the strong change in the value of the project portfolio. The capital invested in the property management portfolio, which amounted to SEK 200m and encompassed energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value.

Completed projects

February saw the completion of Uarda 7, Arenastaden, and the property was transferred from projects to management. In Q2, Nationalarenan 8 was completed and Telia moved in in June, at which point the property was transferred to the property management portfolio.

Major ongoing projects

The erection of the office building at the Uarda 6 property is continuing. The frame and facade are now largely complete. Work is progressing on completing the frame and installations. The investment amounts to just over SEK 570m. In June, a lease was signed with Ambea on the rental of approx. 3,600 sqm. The property is in the process of completion, with tenants gradually moving in from April to November 2017. The occupancy rate is 90 per cent.

The construction of SEB's offices in the Pyramiden 4 property in Arenastaden is proceeding. The entire frame, roof and the first office floors are now complete. Work is continuing on completing the frame, installations and furnishings. The investment amounts to some SEK 2.3bn and the office is scheduled for completion in two phases, spring 2017 and spring 2018, respectively. The property is fully let to SEB.

The groundwork and project design on the office building at the Signalen 3 property in Arenastaden has begun. The investment totals SEK 1,080m. ICA has signed a lease on about 78 per cent of the lettable space. The office is scheduled for completion during the third quarter of 2018.

The project relating to the Hörnan district, which is part of the Lagern 2 property in Råsunda, is also progressing. A new office building with a total area of around 16,000 sqm is being constructed at the property. The investment totals SEK 530m. Foundation work started in January 2016. The property is partly let to Telenor Sweden, with occupancy scheduled for the latter half of 2018. The occupancy rate is 67 per cent.

In June 2016, a decision was made on an investment of just over SEK 750m regarding the construction of an office building at the Pelaren 1 property, Globen. The property is 70 per cent leased to 3.

Human resources

At the end of the quarter, 154 people (142) were employed by the Fabege Group.

Parent Company

Sales during the period amounted to SEK 86m (79) and earnings before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK –580m (123). The dividend totalling SEK 579m that was adopted by the AGM on 11 April 2016 was paid out in the second quarter.

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

Acquisition and transfer of treasury shares

The 2016 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 outstanding shares at any time. No shares were bought back during the period.

Opportunities and risks

Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations relate primarily to changes in rents, vacancies and interest rates. A more detailed description is presented in the risk section of the 2015 Annual Report (pages 56–59). The effect of the changes on consolidated earnings is shown in the risk analysis and in the sensitivity analysis in the 2015 Directors' Report (pages 49–61).

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 section and the sensitivity analysis in the 2015 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 2015 Annual Report (pages 58–59 and 71–74).

No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have arisen following publication of the 2015 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 2.0. The aim for the loanto-value ratio is a maximum of 55 per cent.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS – CASH FLOW AND EARNINGS

Effect,
Change SEKm
Rental income, total 1% 20.8
Rent level, commercial income 1% 20.4
Financial occupancy rate 1 percentage point 23.2
Property expenses 1% 6.3
Interest expense, rolling 12 months ¹ +/ -1 percentage point 49 / 87
Interest expenses, longer term perspective 1 percentage point 205.7

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

1 In 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.

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.

Events after balance sheet date

After the end of the reporting period, additional fixed-interest periods of seven to ten years were applied in the form of interest rate swaps of SEK 600m.

Net lettings

Jan-Jun 2016

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 usually higher.

Market outlook

Both the property and rental markets have remained very strong during the first half of 2016. Given the prevailing market conditions and Fabege's attractive property and project portfolio, the prerequisites are favourable for strong earnings in 2016 as well. More completed projects will increase rental volumes which, combined with continued operational efficiency and low interest expense, is expected to generate better profit from property management. Fabege is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities ahead.

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.

4 Definitionen according to IFRS

Definitions

The company presents certain financial 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 measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial 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.

RETURN ON EQUITY

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

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.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES*

Properties that are being actively managed on an ongoing basis.

RENTAL VALUE*

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

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES PER SHARE

SEGMENT REPORTING

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 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 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.

* This key ratio is operational and is not regarded as an alternative key ratio 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 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 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 30 June 2016, Fabege owned 85 properties with a total market value of SEK 42.4bn. The rental value was SEK 2.3bn.

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 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.

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 will account for the largest growth, thus resulting in higher demand for office premises.

Changes in demand

New technology and new work methods contribute to boosting 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.

Financial 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. Environmental considerations involving choice of material and energy-saving measures are 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.

TRANSACTIONS

Property transactions are an integral part of Fabege's business model and make a significant contribution to the company's earnings. The company continuously analyses its property portfolio to utilise opportunities to increase capital growth, through both acquisitions and divestments.

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.
