Comments by the CEO

Dear shareholder

Profit from property management per share increased by 18 % during the first quarter to SEK 3.80 (3.23). The increase was due to a larger property portfolio, a continued strong rental market and very good efforts from our entire organisation.

Associated companies as a group increased its profit from property management by 15 %. These companies include Collector, which reported a weak performance with a marginally lower profit than the previous year.

First quarter

Investments during the quarter amounted to almost SEK 2 billion and mostly consisted of residential projects in progress. Balder is building homes in Sweden, Denmark and Finland with varying forms of tenure. Thanks to our strong profit from property management and balance sheet, we have the opportunity to continually decide when we start construction but also the allocation between apartments for sale and letting.

Looking ahead

I think (as usual) that the future looks bright and despite the tough competition for investment opportunities, that we have good potential over time to continue delivering growth in profit from property management and net asset value.

It is also well worth remembering that Balder as a company is getting better and better every year.

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.

Changes in real estate portfolio

The value of Balder's real estate portfolio is based on internal valuations. The properties in Sweden, Denmark and Norway are mainly valued using the cash flow based method. In Finland, in addition to the cash flow based method, the sales comparison method and valuation at acquisition cost are used. Properties under construction and real estate projects are valued at market value reduced by estimated building expenditure and project risk, which usually results in valuation at cost. On 31 March, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.0 % (5.1) excluding project and development properties, which is unchanged compared to year- end.

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 31 March, Balder had ongoing projects with an expected total investment of SEK 10.2 billion, of which about SEK 5.5 billion was already invested. Most of the ongoing projects refers to residential projects. The most large scale investments are in Copenhagen and Helsinki and mainly relate to condominiums for rent. In Copenhagen, there are currently about 1,000 apartments under construction as well as about 1,000 apartments in Helsinki.

Unrealised changes in value

The overall carrying amount of Balder's properties amounted to SEK 104,118m (88,429) on 31 March. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 1,722m (1,859) and was mainly attributable to improved net operating income.

Investments, acquisitions and divestments

During the period, a total of SEK 1,921m (1,103) was invested, of which SEK 455m (431) related to acquisitions and SEK 1,466m (672) related to investments in existing properties and projects. During the period only condominiums and land have been divested at a sales value of SEK 28m (638). Profit from property sales amounted to SEK 15m (24).

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 have an average lease term of 7.6 years (7.1). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 5.1 % (5.6) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 11.1 years (11.8).

No individual lease accounts for more than 0.7 % (0.8) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 4.2 % (4.0) of total rental income.

Financing

Balder has assets in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland which means that the Group is exposed to currency risks. Balder therefore has a diversified financing structure where we use bonds and bank financing in several currencies. The single largest source of funding is bonds issued on the European bond market in Euro, followed by bank loans in various currencies, a MTN programme in Swedish kronor and a commercial paper programme in Euro and Swedish kronor. In addition to these financing sources, Balder also has issued

Balder has Investment Grade ratings from credit rating agencies Moody's and S&P. Balder's Board of directors adjusted the financial target regarding net debt to total assets in the year-end report 2017, the net debt to total assets shall over time not exceed 50 %. the outcome as of 31 March amounted to 51.4 %.

Other disclosures

Events after the end of the period

Balder has acquired a property in Björvika in central Oslo for approximately SEK 400m. The property is mainly leased to Forenom on a 13-year lease. The property has been completely renovated by Skanska and is expected to be completed until early July when access is planned. The property has a leaseable area of approximately 8,500 sq.m and consists mainly of corporate housing. After the end of the reporting period no other significant events has occured.

Related party transactions

Balder receives fees from associated companies and Erik Selin Fastigheter AB for property and company management services. These fees amounted to SEK 12m (10) during the period and are reported in management and administrative costs. In addition, services are bought from Collector AB (publ).

Risks and uncertainties

Balder's operations, financial position and results may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainty factors. These are described in the Annual Report for 2017, on pages 54-57. Otherwise, no significant changes has been noted.

Accounting policies

Balder applies IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union in its consolidated accounts and the interpretations of these (IFRIC). This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In addition, relevant provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Markets Act have also been applied. The parent company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, the Securities Markets Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities.

New accounting policies from and including 1 January 2018

From and including 1 January 2018, the Group has adopted the following new standards:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

The change with IFRS 9 compared to previously applied principles relates to the new model for measurement of credit losses. The model measures expected credit losses by taking account of future-oriented information. Compared with the previous model, which was based on actual losses, this will mean an earlier recognition of credit losses. In the Annual Report for 2017, the impact of the transition was presented in Note 1 with an increased provision for accounts receivable losses, which had a net effect on equity of SEK –16m. In connection with the preparation of this report, it has also been noted that the associated company Collector reported an impact of the transition with

regard to recognition of expected credit losses, whereupon the total impact of the transition on the Balder Group's equity amounted to SEK –92m for the introduction of IFRS 9.

In accordance with the standard's transitional arrangements, comparative figures have not been restated for 2017.

New accounting policies from and including 1 January 2019 IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 will impact the Balder Group's accounting of the leases where the company is a lessee. It is expected that the introduction of the standard will have a limited impact on the financial statements, as the Group essentially operates as a lessor, and leases where the Group is a lessee only arise to a limited extent relative to the rest of the Group's operations. The effects will be quantified during 2018.

This interim report has not been subject to review by the company's auditors.
