Comments by the CEO

Dear shareholder,

Profit from property management

The year started well with profit from property management which increased by 32 % in the first quarter to SEK 5.01 per share. The increase was generated from the existing portfolio, new investments, associated companies and net financial items.

Investments and projects

During Q1, we invested SEK 3.6 billion in property acquisitions and projects. During the year, we noticed an increased interest in our tenant-owners' association projects in Gothenburg. For example, the tenant-owners' association Sjöstjärnan in Frölunda with 130 apartments is now sold out. The property will be completed during the fourth quarter this year.

We continue to be positive about the development of our project operations and the opportunities that will arise in the future.

New regional division

Balder's operations in Copenhagen have existed for many years and have now reached a size both as an organisation and in property value, which means that they will be reported separately from now on. The remaining part of the former Öresund region as well as the United Kingdom and Germany are now reported as the South region.

Accounting

A change in the accounting rules started to apply in 2019, which in our case means that we shall record our Site leasehold agreements in the balance sheet as an asset of SEK 1.5 billion and also a corresponding liability of SEK 1.5 billion. You can see this in the line item in the balance sheet called Lease contract.

In the income statement, ground rent has been moved from the property cost to the expense in net financial items. My personal opinion is that this accounting change provides a less accurate view of the reality than under the previous accounting principle.

For operating companies, the slightly simplified impact of these leases will be an increase in the balance sheet as they must book future rent payments and thereby the right to the premises as an asset and a liability. In the income statement, the rent is moved from an expense in the business to become depreciation instead. Their EBITDA will increase (but nothing has happened in reality), the profit before tax will be the same, however.

So in the case that we rent out a property on a long lease to the company X, which in turn sublets on the same terms and conditions to the company Y, the result will be that the property/asset just like before is in our balance sheet but is also in the balance sheet of the company X and the company Y, i.e. the same property/asset in a case like this is now in three different balance sheets.

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.

Income, costs and results

Profit from property management

Profit from property management for the period amounted to SEK 1,046m (815), of which effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK 18m (8). Profit from property management attributable to parent company shareholders increased by 32 % and amounted to SEK 901m (683), which corresponds to SEK 5.01 per share (3.80). Profit from property management includes SEK 196m (151) in respect of associated companies.

Net profit after tax

Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 1,390m (2,187). Net profit after tax for the period attributable to parent company shareholders amounted to SEK 1,188m (2,015), corresponding to SEK 6.60 per share (11.20). Profit before tax was affected by changes in value in respect of investment properties of SEK 708m (1,737), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –99m (–16) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 178m (170).

Rental income

Rental income increased by 14 % to SEK 1,797m (1,573), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates was SEK 42m (38). The increase was primarily due to acquisitions, new leases and completed projects for own management. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 31 March of SEK 7,456m (6,694). The average rental level for the entire real estate portfolio amounted to SEK 1,821/sq.m. (1,760) excluding project properties.

The like for like rental income has increased with 2.8 % after adjustments for currency changes.

Rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations. The economic occupancy rate amounted to 96 % (96) on 31 March. The total rental value of unlet areas at the end of the period amounted to SEK 281m (264) on an annual basis.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEK –509m (–480) during the period, of which the effect of changes in exchange rates was SEK –13m (–12).

Net operating income increased by 18 % to SEK 1,288m (1,094), which implies a surplus ratio of 72 % (70).

As a consequence of new accounting rules, from 1 January 2019, ground rents are recognised within net financial items, which had a positive impact on property costs of about SEK 15m.

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 of the entire real estate portfolio, see page 9. Unrealised changes in value during the period amounted to SEK 717m (1,722). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK –9m (15). The average yield requirement as of 31 March amounted to 4.8 % (5.0), which is unchanged compared to year-end. The change in value during the period is mainly attributable to improved net operating income.

Management and administrative costs

Management and administrative costs amounted to SEK –157m (141) during the period, of which the effect of changes in exchange rates was SEK –4m (–4).

Participations in the profits of associated companies

Balder owns property managing and project developing associated companies, see note 15 in Balder's Annual Report for 2018, and 44.1 % in Collector AB (publ) which is listed. Brinova Fastigheter AB (publ) is also listed and Balder's share amounts to 25.5 %. In order to clarify these associated companies value in Balder, Balder also reports a consolidated statement of financial position including listed associated companies at market value, see page 5.

Profit from participations in associated companies amounted to SEK 178m (170) and Balder's participation in the associated companies profit from property management amounted to SEK 196m (151).

Profit before tax was impacted by unrealised changes in value in respect of properties and interest rate derivatives of SEK 31m (65). The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –49m (–46).

Net financial items and changes in value of derivatives

Net financial items amounted to SEK –278m (–286), of which the effect of changes in exchange rates was SEK –7m (–14). Due to new accounting rules, from January 1, 2019, ground rents are reported in net financial items, which negatively impacted net financial items by approximately SEK –15m. Changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –99m (–16). The negative change in value of derivatives during the period is due to the fact that the interest rates have fallen during the period. Unrealised changes in value do not affect the cash flow.

The average interest rate was 1.7 % (1.8) on the closing date and 1.7 % (2.0) for the period.

Taxes

The group's tax cost amounted to SEK –247m (–369), of which effect of changes in exchange rates amounted to SEK –6m (–8). Current tax for the period amounts to SEK –58m (–68), mainly attributable to Sato Oyj, and also a deferred tax expense of SEK –189m (–301). Current tax attributable to parent company shareholders amounted to SEK –40m (–43).

Tax was calculated based on the applicable tax rate in each country. In Sweden, tax was calculated at 21.4 %

based on current taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities and tax receivables were calculated at the lower tax rate of 20.6 %, which applies starting from 2021.

The new tax rules apply as of 1 January 2019 in Sweden. Balder estimates that the new rules will not have any material impact on the calculation of taxes for the year 2019 provided that an efficient balancing can occur in the Group of net interest income and expense.

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 9,077m (7,406).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 700m (474). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK –3,759m (–1,936).

During the period, acquisition of investment properties of SEK –2,125m (–455), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK –1,480m (–1,466), investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments, associated companies and transactions with non-controlling interests SEK –264m (–46) adds up to SEK –3,870m (–1,966).

These have been financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 520m (359), by property divestments of SEK 82m (28), financial investments of SEK 29m (2) and net borrowings of SEK 3,754m (1,488), which adds up to SEK 4,385m (1,878).

Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 516m (–88). In addition to unutilised credit facilities of SEK 8,669m (6,117), the group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 2,272m (1,877) on 31 March.

Employees and organisation

The number of employees on 31 March amounted to 691 persons (617), of whom 292 were women (271). Balder is organised into seven regions. The head office with groupwide functions is located in Gothenburg.

Parent Company

The parent company's operations mainly consist of performing group-wide services but an important part relates to sales of services, principally to associated companies. Sales in the parent company amounted to SEK 86m (67) during the period.

Net profit after tax amounted to SEK –182m (–438). Other net financial items amounted to SEK –130m (–547) of which exchange rates differences amounted to SEK –254m (–758), changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –99m (–16).

Reported exchange differences mainly refer to the translation of the company's euro bonds, which from a group perspective are used for hedging of foreign net investments.

Real estate portfolio

On 31 March Balder owned 1,196 investment properties (1,156) with a lettable area of 4,084 thousand sq.m. (3,779) and a value of SEK 121,366m (104,118). Balder's total rental value excluding projects amounted to SEK 7,438m (6,649).

In addition to investment properties Balder owns development properties with a value of SEK 1,861m (–). The value of the total property portfolio amounted to SEK 123,227m (104,118).

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

Investment properties

Balder's investment properties are reported on the basis of internal valuations. The properties in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany and United Kingdom are valued using the cash flow based method. In Finland and Russia, in addition to the cash flow based method, the sales comparison method and valuation at acquisition cost are used. Properties under construction and project properties for own management 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 4.8 % (5.0) excluding project properties for own management, 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 and obtain second opinions on internal valuations. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant.

Unrealised changes in value investment properties

The overall carrying amount of Balder's investment properties amounted to SEK 121,366m (104,118) on 31 March. The unrealised change in value during the period amounted to SEK 717m (1,722) and is mainly attributable to improved net operating income.

Investments, acquisitions and divestments

During the period, a total of SEK 3,342m (1,921) was invested relating to investment properties, of which SEK 2,125m (455) related to acquisitions and SEK 1,217m (1,466) related to investments in existing properties and projects for own management. During the period only condominiums and land have been divested at a sales value of SEK 82m (28). Profit from property sales amounted to SEK –9m (15). The change in the real estate portfolio during the period is presented in the table below.

Project properties for own management

On 31 March, Balder has project properties for own management amounting to SEK 4.7 billion. Projects with ongoing construction are included with SEK 4.3 billion and projects where construction has not yet started amounts to SEK 0.4 billion. The ongoing construction work has an estimated total investment of approximately SEK 7.6 billion, which means that SEK 3.3 billion remains to be invested. Most of the ongoing projects relate to residential projects. The projects mainly comprise about 1,200 apartments in Copenhagen and about 1,000 apartments in Helsinki. The investments relate to owner apartments for rental use.

Development properties

On 31 March, Balder has development properties amounting to SEK 1.9 billion. Projects with ongoing construction are included with SEK 0.7 billion and projects where construction has not begun amounts to SEK 1.2 billion. The projects with ongoing construction has an estimated total investment of approximately SEK 1.8 billion, which means that SEK 1.1 billion remains to invest. The majority of the development projects in progress refer to tenant-owner's apartments and primarily involve approx. 600 tenant-owner's apartments in Sweden.

A development property is a property that is held for refinement with the intention of being divested. These properties are continually recognised at cost and profit/loss is recognised when each property is completed, sold and handed over to the buyer.

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 7.7 years (7.6). Balder's 10 largest leases represent 4.7 % (5.1) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 13.6 years (11.1).

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

Financing

Balder has assets in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Germany and United Kingdom 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 Hybrid capital which has a maturity of 60 years and is considered as 50 % equity by the credit rating agency S&P. Balder has closed the cooperation with Moody's and now only have an Investment Grade rating from S&P, which recently confirmed its rating of BBB stable.

Other disclosures

Events after the end of the period

Balder has decided to close the cooperation with Moody's and only have the rating from S&P, which recently confirmed its rating of BBB stable. The closed collaboration with Moody's depends primarily on the fact that the quality of their rating, in our opinion, has declined recently and our opinion is that a rating from S&P is sufficient.

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 20m (12) during the period and are reported in management and administrative costs. In addition, services are bought from Collector AB (publ). All transactions have been priced on market terms.

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 2018, on pages 65-68. 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. The accounting principles follow those reported in the Annual Report 2018, with addition for application of IFRS 16 as below.

New accounting policies from and including 1 January 2019

From and including 1 January 2019, the Group has adopted the following new standards:

IFRS 16 Leases - Effect of introduction of the standard The Group applies IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019. No distinction is made between operating and finance leases any more. As a lessor/landlord, the change does not affect Balder's accounting. According to the new standard, a noncurrent asset (the right to use a leased asset) and a financial liability relating to the liability to pay lease payments shall be recognised in the balance sheet. Balder carried out a detailed review of all leases where the Group is a lessee. During the review, site leasehold agreements were identified as the single most significant leases, together with a

number of leases in Sato Oyj. On 1 January 2019, the lease liability for ground rents and leases amounted to SEK 1,534m, the liability is recognised as a separate line item in the balance sheet, Lease contract. The corresponding right-of-use assets are recognised in the balance sheet in the line item, Lease contract; Right-of-use assets.

The Group has applied the modified retrospective method, which means that right-of-use assets (site leasehold agreements), are measured at an amount equivalent to the lease liability as of 1 January 2019. The transition to IFRS 16 thus has not had any impact on the Group's equity. As the modified retrospective method was applied, comparative figures for 2018 were not restated.

The expense for ground rents of SEK –15m, as an effect of the transition to IFRS 16, is recognised in its entirety, as a financial expense as these are considered to be interest according to IFRS 16, which is a difference compared to the earlier principle when this was recognised as part of the property costs and was charged to net operating income. Profit from property management is not affected.

The Group has chosen to apply the exemption not to recognise short-term leases and leases of low value assets as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet. Payments related to these leases will instead be recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Other

During Q1 2019, the Öresund region/segment was reclassified and divided up into two regions/segments, which means that Balder now has seven regions. The reclassification means that the former Öresund region is now divided into the regions/segments Copenhagen and South. The Copenhagen region consists of the Group's properties in Denmark. The South region consists of all Swedish properties in southern Sweden that were previously reported under the Öresund region as well as the properties in Germany and the United Kingdom. Restatement of comparative figures has occurred.

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