1) Attributable to the parent company's shareholders.
Dear shareholders,
Profit from property management attributable to the parent company's shareholders decreased by 8% to SEK 2.48 per share. The long-term increase of profit from property management is our most important financial metric. The decrease from last year is due to higher interest expenses. Rental income and net operating income are around 8% better compared to last year, and we continue to see a stable demand for residentials and commercial spaces in our different markets.
Our investment run-rate continued to decrease according to plan. We gradually finalise ongoing projects, but we have not started any significant new developments in a while. Over time, I am certain that there is a great inherent value in our portfolio of building rights and zoning work.
Collectively, our associated companies had a similar development as the rest of the Balder group. Profit from property management was stable, with slightly lower property values due to increased yield requirements.
This half year report marks the 19th anniversary of Balder in its current form. The net asset value and the trend in the share price can be seen as of 30 June each year in the table below.

"RENTAL INCOME AND NET OPERATING INCOME IS AROUND 8% BETTER COMPARED TO LAST YEAR, AND WE CONTINUE TO SEE A STABLE DEMAND FOR RESIDENTIALS AND COMMERCIAL SPACES IN OUR DIFFERENT MARKETS"
We have continued to have good access to funding, and in addition to our continued bank financing we have done a couple of bond issues. Net debt has decreased by almost SEK 6bn compared to a year ago from SEK 134,789m to SEK 128,965m (counting the hybrid as debt), while during the same time our earnings capacity shows a SEK 725m increase in operating profit to SEK 10,550m. Operating profit in relation to net debt has subsequently improved from 13.7 times to 12.2 times.
I want to take the opportunity to thank all our customers, suppliers, financiers, partners and coworkers for another great year of cooperation. I look forward to our 20th year of operations.
The journey is the goal!
Erik Selin
Chief Executive Officer
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 twelve months. The earning capacity does not contain, for example, an estimate of rental, vacancy, currency or interest rate changes.
Balder's income statement is also impacted by the development in the value of the property portfolio, as well as future property acquisitions and/or property divestments. Additional items affecting the net profit are changes in value of derivatives. None of this has been considered in the current earning capacity.
The earning capacity is based on the property portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative expenses.
The costs of the interest-bearing liabilities are based on the Group's average interest rate level including the effect of derivative instruments. Tax is calculated using the effective tax rate during each period.

Profit from property management included SEK 508m (460) in respect of associated companies. Rental income amounted to SEK 3,186m (2,943) and property costs amounted to SEK –805m (–742), which meant that net operating income increased by 8% to SEK 2,381m (2,201), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates affected net operating income by SEK 5m (65). The surplus ratio amounted to 75% (75).
Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 890m (–1,292). Profit after tax attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK 772m (–867), corresponding to SEK 0.66 per share (–0.75).

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 888m (100). Profit from participations in subsidiaries was included at SEK 1,598m (178), other net financial items amounted to SEK –697m (–440), of which exchange rate difference amounted to SEK –1,940m (–1,484), and changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –252m (155).
Reported exchange rate differences relate primarily to the translation of the Group's euro bonds, which from a Group perspective are used for hedging of foreign net investments. As of 30 April, the parent company also applies hedging of foreign net investments in respect of the company's euro bonds.
On 30 June, Balder owned 1,921 investment properties (1,869) with a lettable area of 6,072,000 sq.m. (5,986,000) at a value of SEK 212,941m (218,397). Balder's total rental value excluding projects amounted to SEK 13,388m (12,533).

Balder's commercial properties are located primarily in the central areas of major cities, and the residential properties are located in metropolitan regions and in places that are growing and developing positively in each country. Balder's ambition is to continue growing in selected markets.

1) The above table refers to properties that Balder owned at the end of the period. Properties sold have been excluded and properties acquired have been adjusted to full-year values. Other properties include hotel, educational, care and mixed-use properties.

Balder's investment properties are reported on the basis of internal valuations. Properties in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany and the UK are valued using the yield method.
In Finland, the acquisition cost method is used in addition to the yield method.
Properties under construction and project properties for own management are valued at market value reduced by estimated building cost and project risk.
As of 30 June, Balder's average yield requirement was 4.9% (4.8) excluding project properties for own management. The average yield requirement for residential properties amounted to 4.4% (4.3) and for commercial properties 5.5% (5.3). In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder uses external valuation firms in order to have parts of the portfolio valued externally and to secure parameters and assumptions in the valuation calculations. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant.
The overall carrying amount of Balder's investment properties amounted to SEK 212,941m (218,397) on 30 June. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK –899m (–4,246).
The change in value during the period is attributable to a slight increase in the yield requirement.
During the period, a total of SEK 2,572m (3,935) was invested in respect of investment properties, of which SEK 1,427m (419) related to acquisitions and SEK 1,145m (3,516) related to investments in existing properties and projects for own management. Investment properties as well as condominiums and land were divested during the period with a sales value of SEK 249m (669). Realised changes in value from the divestments amounted to SEK 2m (27).

1) Number of investment properties.
Within the framework of property development, both new production and conversion projects of residentials and commercial spaces are being carried out. Investments are being made in particular in areas where the company is already active, with an emphasis on the metropolitan regions of Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsinki and Copenhagen. The building rights portfolio mainly includes building rights for the construction of both rental apartments and tenant-owner apartments, but also commercial properties.
Projects for own management that are under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 2.3 billion (5.3), of which SEK 1.9 billion (3.6) is invested and SEK 0.4 billion (1.7) remains to be invested. Most of the projects in progress relate to residential projects with condominiums for rental use. The projects comprise about 1,000 apartments (2,300) and relate primarily to projects in Finland and Denmark.
A development property is a property that is owned for upgrading with a view to being divested. These properties are recognised at cost on an ongoing basis, and a net profit is recognised when each property is completed, sold and handed over to the buyer.
Development projects that are under construction have an estimated total investment of SEK 2.2 billion (4.9), of which SEK 1.4 billion (2.8) has been invested and SEK 0.8 billion (2.1) is still to be invested. All of the projects relate to residential projects that will be sold to end customers.
The profit from the sale of one development project (–), Brf Fabrique 46, was reported in the second quarter. The cost of the project amounted to SEK –469m (–) and the profit from the sale amounted to SEK 62m (–), excluding marketing and sales costs for the quarter of SEK –7m (–7) relating to all development properties.
The cost of all projects divested during the period amounted to SEK –472m (–655) and the profit from sales amounted to SEK 59m (236), excluding sales and marketing expenses for the period of SEK –14m (–14) in respect of all development properties.

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 residential and commercial properties as well as the geographical distribution. The diversification strengthens the possibilities of maintaining a steady and satisfactory occupancy rate.
Balder's commercial leases have an average lease term of 6.7 years (6.4). Balder's ten biggest leases account for 3.8% (3.5) of total rental income, and their average lease term is 13.1 years (11.0). The economic occupancy rate in the commercial portfolio was 95% at the end of the period.
Having satisfied customers is one of Balder's most important goals. Balder undertakes long-term, structured work to continuously keep track of the company's customers opinions. In autumn 2023, a national survey was conducted to measure total customer satisfaction in the form of a customer satisfaction index (CSI). The outcome of this survey shows that never before has Balder had as many satisfied residential tenants in the Swedish market. The CSI result for Balder's current residential tenants was an average of 69. The corresponding result in respect of residential tenants in Balder's newly produced rental apartments was 79. The result for Balder's commercial customers was an average of 71.

Balder has assets in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany and the UK, which means that the Group is exposed to currency risks. Balder therefore has a diversified financing structure with bonds and bank financing in several currencies. Balder values long-term relationships with its credit providers, which primarily comprise the major Nordic banks and capital market investors.
Balder's financing sources consist of bonds issued in euros in the European bond market under Balder's EMTN programme, followed by bank loans in various currencies, a domestic MTN programme, as well as a commercial paper programme in SEK and EUR. In addition to these financing sources, Balder also has issued hybrid capital, which has an original maturity of 60 years and was historically considered as 50% equity by the credit rating agencies. During the first quarter of 2024, an additional portion of the hybrid capital was repurchased, which meant that following the repurchase, the entire hybrid capital is treated as an interest-bearing liability.
Balder may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or other agreements. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts subject to such repurchases may be material.
During the second quarter, interest-bearing liabilities decreased by approximately SEK 4.4 billion, which is largely due to the repayment of bond maturities. The bond market has continued to improve, and during the quarter Balder increased its presence in the Swedish bond market with issues of three different maturities of just over SEK 2 billion in total. Balder's presence in the Swedish and international capital markets is strategically important. Even though the market is now improving, Balder continues to have a high level of available liquidity until the market has stabilised. As of 30 June, the available liquidity including confirmed loan commitments was SEK 19 billion (20), corresponding to approximately 1.3 times Balder's maturities of interest-bearing liabilities within 12 months. The available liquidity can fluctuate somewhat between quarters, depending on the timing of bank negotiations, currency movements and maturities.
Balder's interest rate refixing period as of 30 June was 3.2 years, and the fixed credit term was 5.3 years. As of 30 June, 71% of loans were hedged with interest rate swaps and fixed-rate loans.
Balder has obligations to its financiers in the form of financial key ratios, so-called covenants. All covenants were fulfilled as of the end of the quarter.

As a long-term property owner, Balder strives to assume social, environmental and financial responsibility. This includes not only minimising the environmental impact of operations, but also maximising the positive impact on society, both locally and globally.
Balder has signed the Global Compact, the UN's set of international principles aimed at companies in the areas of human rights, labour law matters, the environment and anti-corruption. Balder strives to contribute to achieving the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals and has selected six of the 17 goals that are considered most relevant and where the company has the greatest opportunity to have an influence. To link these more closely to the business operations, the associated targets have also been identified in those areas where the company has the greatest opportunity to contribute to the goals being achieved.

Balder has undertaken to set science-based climate goals in line with the Paris Agreement. This involves more than halving emissions in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, with 2022 as the base year, and measuring and reducing emissions in the value chain. The company has also set a goal to achieve net zero emissions throughout the value chain (Scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2045. The climate goals were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in March 2024. Work on the climate roadmap started towards the end of 2023 to specify which measures are required for the business to achieve its climate goals.

Fastighets AB Balder will apply these alternative performance measures consistently over time. Unless otherwise specified, the key ratios are alternative performance measures according to ESMA's guidelines. A description follows below of how Fastighets AB Balder's key ratios are defined and calculated.
Profit after tax in relation to average equity. The profit was converted to a full-year basis in the interim accounts without taking account of seasonal variations that normally arise in the operations, with the exception of changes in value.
Profit before tax with addition of net financial items in relation to average total assets. The profit was converted to a full-year basis in the interim accounts without taking account of seasonal variations that normally arise in the operations, with the exception of changes in value.
Net debt in relation to total assets.
