Comments by the CEO

Q 2 , 2016

Profit from property management per ordinary share for the second quarter and the first half of 2016 improved by 20 and 30 %, respectively, compared to the same period of last year. Increasing the profit from property management over time has been the most important financial performance measure for us on a day-to-day basis since Balder was established in its present form 11 years ago.

We present Balder's current earning capacity on a quarterly basis, which provides a snapshot of the profit from property management on an annual basis at the end of each interim period. Compared to the same quarter of last year, the increase in current earnings per ordinary share was 30 %. If we compare with the previous quarter and the net profit for the year, the improvement was 7.6 and 8.6 %, respectively.

Investments

During the first half of 2016, net investments in properties and projects amounted to about SEK 6.5 billion. A large proportion related to residential properties in Finland via Sato. However, in Denmark, apart from residential constructions in progress, we also bought a hotel and after many valiant attempts we completed a transaction in Norway. Last but not least, we acquired/took possession of three excellently located commercial properties in Gothenburg.

Associated companies

Almost since the start of the company in its present form, Balder has made an increasing number of investments in associated companies. Investing in partly-owned companies increases the number of potential transactions, which in turn, in my view, has a positive impact on the return for Balder's shareholders.

Apart from financial dividends, our partners also provide us with increased knowledge about all sorts of things and it is also a very enriching and pleasant experience for me and many of our employees.

Towards the end of the second quarter in one of our associated companies, which we own jointly with the Third Swedish National Pension Fund, we agreed to acquire a portfolio of excellent residential properties in the Stockholm and Öresund regions for SEK 2 billion. The portfolio was taken into possession just after mid-year. The Third Swedish National Pension Fund shares our long-term view on investments and I cannot say other than that I admire their management team.

Balder 11

With this interim report, Balder has been established in its present form for 11 years. Net asset value and subscription-/share price development has been as follows as of 30 June each year:

Share price (2005 refers
Year Net asset value to subscription price)
2005 6.59 7.075
2006 11.08 13.33
2007 16.46 17.50
2008 23.44 11.15
2009 22.39 9.00
2010 26.57 16.47
2011 36.04 31.70
2012 44.85 31.30
2013 54.41 48.50
2014 70.82 90.50
2015 106.16 127.90
2016 169.39 212.90

Average increase per year : net asset value 34 % share price 36 %

We have made the assessment to date that the best total yield for Balder's shareholders is achieved by reinvestment of the profits generated. The goal is also the same going forward and I am optimistic regarding the possibility of being able to continue finding investments over time with a reasonably good return.

In conclusion

I would like to thank all those who have been with us in one way or another during our first 11 years. I am very fortunate to be able to spend my days doing what I really want to do and also to choose with whom to work with.

If I had a wish, it would be to be able to continue doing this for many, many years to come. I have said it before but it bears repeating, namely that I really should pay to have my job.

Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer

Current earning capacity

Balder presents its earning capacity on a twelve-month basis in the table below. It is important to note that the current earning capacity should not be placed on a par with a forecast for the coming 12 months. For instance, the earning capacity contains no estimate of rental, vacancy, currency or interest rate changes.

Balder's income statement is also impacted by the development in the value of the real estate portfolio as well as future property acquisitions and/or property divestments.

Additional items affecting the operating result are changes in value of derivatives. None of the above has been considered in the current earning capacity.

The earning capacity is based on the real estate portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative costs. The costs of the interest-bearing liabilities are based on the group's average interest rate level including the effect of derivative instruments. The tax is calculated using the effective tax rate during each period.

Results, income and costs

Profit from property management

Profit from property management for the period amounted to SEK 1,199m (763). Profit from property management attributable to parent company shareholders increased by 33 % and amounted to SEK 1,015m (763), which corresponds to an increase per ordinary share by 30 % to SEK 5.31 (4.08). Profit from property management includes SEK 179m (181) in respect of associated companies.

Net profit after tax

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,959m (1,595). Net profit after tax for the period attributable to parent company shareholders amounted to SEK 1,733m (1,595) corresponding to SEK 9.47 per ordinary share (9.21). Profit before tax was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 1,651m (793), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –429m (142) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 196m (326).

Rental income

Rental income increased by 87 % to SEK 2,565m (1,370). The increase was primarily due to Sato Oyj, whose income statement was consolidated for the first time from January 1, 2016. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 30 June of SEK 5,607m (2,804). The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,551/sq.m. (1,329) excl. project properties.

Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate amounted to 95 % (95) on 30 June. The total rental value of unlet areas at the end of the period amounted to SEK 282m (137) on an annual basis.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK 855m (438) during the period. The increase in property costs was mainly due to the consolidation of Sato Oyj.

Net operating income increased by 83 % to SEK 1,710m (932), which implies a surplus ratio of 67 % (68).

Operating costs normally vary with the seasons. The first and fourth quarters have higher costs than the other quarters, while the third quarter usually has the lowest cost level.

Changes in value of investment properties

Balder carried out an individual valuation on 30 June, based on a ten-year cash flow model, of the entire real estate portfolio. Unrealised changes in value during the period amounted to SEK 1,600m (723). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 51m (70).

The average yield requirement as of 30 June amounted to 5.4 % (5.3), which is unchanged since year-end. The change in value during the period was attributable to improved net operating income and a slightly reduced yield requirement.

Management and administrative costs

Management and administrative costs amounted to SEK 236m (91) during the period. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of Sato Oyj.

Participations in the profit of associated companies

Balder owns property managing and project developing associated companies and 44.1 % in Collector AB (publ) which is listed. In order to clarify Collectors value in Balder, Balder also reports a consolidated statement of financial position including Collector AB (publ) at market value.

During the period 49 % of the shares in Sjaelsö Management ApS were acquired. Sjaelsö Management is one of the major actors in project development and construction management in Denmark.

Profit from participations in associated companies amounted to SEK 196m (326) and Balder's participation in the associated companies profit from property management amounted to SEK 179m (181).

Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 71m (69).

Net financial items and changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –460m (–259) and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –429m (142). The negative change in value of derivatives during the period is due to the fact that the interest rates have fallen during the year. Unrealised changes in value do not affect the cash flow.

Net financial items are equivalent to borrowing at anaverage interest rate of 2.1 % (2.2) during the period, including the effect of accrued interest from interest rate derivatives.

Taxes

Balder reported a current tax cost for the period of SEK 79m (4), which is mainly attributable to the consolidation of Sato Oyj, and a deferred tax expense of SEK 401m (244). The group's deferred tax liability has been calculated as the value of the net of fiscal deficits and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and values for tax purposes of properties and interest rate derivatives. Deferred tax liabilities amounted to SEK 4,473m (1,789).

Second quarter 2016

Profit from property management for the second quarter of 2016 increased by 45 % and amounted to SEK 637m (439). Profit from property management attributable to parent company shareholders for the second quarter of 2016 increased by 25 % and amounted to SEK 547m (439) which corresponds to an increase per ordinary share of 20 % to SEK 2.88 (2.40). Profit from property management included SEK 100m (126) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 1,307m (685) and property costs amounted to SEK 411m (204), which meant that net operating income increased by 86 % to SEK 896m (481). The increase compared to the same period last year is mainly due to the consolidation of Sato Oyj from January 1, 2016.

The surplus ratio amounted to 69 % (70).

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,184m (1,160). Profit after tax attributable to parent comapny shareholders amounted to SEK 1,026m (1,160) corresponding to SEK 5.66 per ordinary share (6.84). The result was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 1,026m (391), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –193m (321) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 115m (275).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 938m (503). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 4,590m (2,566).

During the period, acquisition of properties of SEK 3,853m (944), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK 1,079m (386), investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments and associated companies and transactions with non-controlling interests SEK 372m (2,853), dividends paid preference shares of SEK 100m (100) and dividends paid to non-controlling interests SEK 107m (–) adds up to SEK 5,511m (4,283).

Change in real estate portfolio

The value of Balder's real estate portfolio is based on internal valuations. All properties have been valued using the cash flow based method, which means that each property is valued by discounting the estimated future cash flows. An estimate is also made of the future development of the immediate surroundings and the position of the property within its market segment. On 30 June, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.4 % (5.3) excluding project- and development properties.

In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder regularly allows parts of its portfolio to be externally valued during the period or at each year-end. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant.

Project real estate

On 30 June, Balder had ongoing residential projects with an expected total investment of SEK 7,400m, of which about SEK 4,000m was already invested. The most largescale investments are in Copenhagen and Helsinki and mainly relate to condominiums for rent. In Copenhagen, there are currently about 600 apartments under construction as well as about 1,600 apartments in Finland and

in Sweden about 400 apartments where the majority refers to tenant-owner's rights.

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's properties amounted to SEK 77,538m (38,071) on 30 June. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 1,600m (723) and was attributable to improved net operating income and slightly lower yield.

Investments, acquisitions and divestments

During the year, a total of SEK 7,184m (1,415) was invested, of which SEK 6,105m (1,029) related to acquisitions and SEK 1,079m (386) related to investments in existing properties and projects.

The majority of the acquisitions during the period refers to acquisitions in Sato Oyj of about 2,300 apartments. Properties with a sales value of SEK 725m (1,425) were divested during the period. Profit from property sales amounted to SEK 51m (70). The change in the real estate portfolio during the period may be seen in the table below.

Customers

In order to limit the risk of lower rental income and consequently a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships with the company's existing customers. Balder has a good diversification as regards the distribution between commercial properties and residential properties as well as the geographical distribution. The diversification strengthens the possibilities of maintaining a steady and satisfactory occupancy rate. Balder's commercial leases has have an average lease term of 6.7 years (6.4). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 6.0 % (10.4) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 12.9 years (13.2).

No individual lease accounts for more than 0.9 % (1.6) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 2.5 % (4.9) of total rental income.
