CEO's comments

Profit from property management

The positive trend in the development of our profit from property management continued during the first quarter of the year. The increase during the fourth quarter of 2012 amounted to 25 per cent and to 23 per cent during the first quarter of 2013, despite an exceptionally long and cold winter. Our surplus ratio amounted to 61 per cent, like the previous year.

Our profit from property management has developed strongly since the foundation of the company. The profit from property management in quarter 1 of 2013, which normally has the lowest profit from property management of the year, exceeded that of the full-year 2006. The acquisitions carried out last year developed according to our high expectations and combined with a favourable interest rate situation, we have made a good start to the year.

Real estate transactions

Our concentration of the profit portfolio is continuing at an orderly rate. Two smaller properties were divested during the quarter.

We do not notice any change in the market but excellent opportunities to do transactions still exist and we see good business possibilities in the longer term, both in Sweden and in Denmark.

The Balder share

The Stockholm Stock Exchange and the Balder share have performed strongly so far this year. It is especially gratifying for us to have increased the number of registered shareholders by approximately 1,000 to 13,500 shareholders. The number of participants at our Annual General Meeting, which we are holding today, has also increased.

I look forward to continue developing our company and I am grateful every day I open the door to the office.

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 and is estimated to largely consist of deferred tax, which does not affect the cash flow.

Results, income and costs

Result

Property management during the period increased by 23 per cent and amounted to SEK 161m (131), which corresponds to SEK 0.82 per ordinary share (0.69). Profit from property management includes SEK 36m (22) in respect of associated companies.

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 406m (379), corresponding to SEK 2.36 per ordinary share (2.25). Profit before tax was affected by changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 170m (153), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK 189m (233) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 30m (17).

Rental income

Net operating income increased by 9 per cent to SEK 448m (410). The increase was primarily due to a larger real estate portfolio. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 31 March of SEK 1,934m (1,798) on a fullyear basis. The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,256/sq.m. (1,185).

Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate amounted to 93 per cent (94) on 31 March. The total rental value of unlet areas on 31 March amounted to SEK 134m (114) on an annual bas

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK 176m (158) during the year. The increase in property costs was due to changes in the real estate portfolio.

Net operating income increased by 8 per cent to SEK 272m (252), which implies a surplus ratio of 61 per cent (61). 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 internal valuation on 31 March, based on a ten-year cash flow model, of the entire real estate portfolio. Unrealised changes in value during the period amounted to SEK 167m (153). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 3m (—).

The average yield requirement as of 31 March amounted to 5.9 per cent (6.0), which is unchanged compared to yearend. The change in value during the period of SEK 167m is attributable to improved net operating income.

Property and administrative costs

Property and administrative costs amounted to SEK 31m (32) during the period.

Participations in the profit of associated companies

Balder ownes property-managing associated companies and the project development companies Bovieran and Majornas Projektutveckling, which are all 50 per centowned. The participating interest in the finance and credit management company Collector amounts to 44 per cent. Profit from participations in associated companies during the period amounted to SEK 30m (17). Balder's participation in the associated companies' profit from property management amounted to SEK 36m (22). Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 2m (2).

Net financial items and unrealised changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –116m (–111) and unrealised changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 189m (233). The positive change in value during the period was due to an increase in the level of interest rates since year-end. The change in value has not affected the cash flow.

Net financial items are equivalent to borrowing at an average interest rate of 3.4 per cent (3.8) during the period, including the effect of accrued interest from interest rate derivatives.

Taxes

Balder reported no current tax during the period (—) but a deferred tax expense of SEK 109m (128).

Current tax only arises in exceptional cases due to the possibilities of making tax write-offs, tax deductions for certain investments in properties and use of existing loss carry-forwards. Current tax arises for subsidiaries where no group contributions for tax purposes exist mainly companies acquired during the year.

The group's deferred tax liability has been calculated as the value of the net of tax loss carry-forwards 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 552m (331). At year-end, the Group's overall deficit amounted to SEK 2,169m.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 111m (101). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 155m (2,130). During the period, acquisition of properties of SEK —m (2,186), investments in existing properties of SEK 105m (59) and investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments, associated companies, non-controlling interests of SEK 72m (22) and dividends paid of SEK 30m (20) have been financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 77m (125), by sales of properties of SEK 20m (—) and financial investments of SEK 2m (138), a new issue of SEK —m (265) and net borrowings of SEK 85m (1,786). The cash flow for the period amounted to SEK –23m (25). The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 259m (277) on 31 March.

Employees and organisation

The number of employees on 31 March amounted to 221 persons (210), of whom 63 (73) were women. Balder is organised into five regions with 13 areas in total. The head office with group-wide functions is located in Gothenburg.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's operations mainly consist of performing group-wide services but an important part also relates to sales of services, principally to associated companies. Sales in the Parent Company amounted to SEK 25m (24) during the period.

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 157m (177). Changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 160m (196).

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 yield 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 31 March, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.9 per cent, which is unchanged compared to the start of the year.

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

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's 430 properties (442) amounted to SEK 22,483m (19,953) on 31 March. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 167m (153) and was attributable to improved net operating income.

Investments, acquisitions and sales

During the year, a total of SEK 105m (2,245) was invested, of which SEK —m (2,186) related to acquisitions and SEK 105m (59) related to investments in existing properties. Properties to a value of SEK 18m (—) were sold during the period.

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 and in terms of geographical distribution. The diversification strengthens the possibilities of maintaining a satisfactory occupancy rate.

Balder's commercial leases have an average lease term of 4.3 years (4.6). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 8.6 per cent (8.2) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 10.3 years (12.4). No individual lease accounts for more than 1.6 per cent (1.7) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 2.6 per cent (3.0) of total rental income.

Financing

Shareholders' equity

Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 8,660m (7,297) on 31 March and the equity/assets ratio amounted to 35.7 per cent (34.3). Shareholders' equity increased during the period through comprehensive income for the period of SEK 401m (377) and decreased by SEK 30m (20) on account of dividend to the preference shareholders, which occurs quarterly.

Interest-bearing liabilities

The group's interest-bearing liabilities in respect of properties amounted to SEK 13,504m (12,501) on 31 March, corresponding to a loan-to-value ratio of 60.1 per cent (62.7). The interest-bearing liabilities consist of a bond of SEK 250m, which is quoted on NASDAQ OMX, a certificate programme with a framework amount of SEK 1,000m and bilateral bank loans with Nordic banks. Balder's certificate programme had an outstanding volume of SEK 925m on 31 March. On 31 March, Balder's average interest rate refixing period amounted to 4.8 years (3.2), which is unchanged compared to the start of the year. The fixed credit term amounted to 6.4 years (6.7) and the average interest rate amounted to 3.6 per cent (4.0), including the effect of accrued interest from interest rate derivative instruments which are recognised as fixed interest borrowing in the table.

Interest rate derivative instruments are deployed in order to obtain preferred interest rate refixing targets. Derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet with changes in value recognised in the income statement without using hedge accounting. Unrealised changes in value during the period amounted to SEK 189m (233). The deficit on derivatives, SEK 679m (564), will be released during the remaining term and recognised as income. This means that Balder has a reserve of SEK 679m which will be reversed in its entirety to equity, adjusted by deferred tax, concurrently with the expiry of interest rate derivatives. All derivatives are classified as Level 2 under IFRS 13.

Liquidity

The group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 259m (277) at the end of the accounting period.

Financial targets

The proportion of equity is impacted by the chosen level of financial risk which in turn is impacted by lenders' equity requirements for offering market-based financing. Balder's financial goals are that the equity/assets ratio shall not be less than 30 per cent over time and that the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 1.5 times. As of 31 March, the equity/assets ratio was 35.7 per cent (34.3) and the interest coverage ratio was 2.4 times (2.1).
