Interim Report January - June 2008

  • The gross profit from property management for comparable holdings increased by 3 per cent to SEK 428 mnkr (414). The improvement in profit can be attributed mainly to higher rents.
  • The fair value of the property holdings was SEK 20,1 mdkr billion (20.5 at the year-end).
  • The net asset value following a deduction for the dividend paid amounted to SEK 71 per share (73 at the year-end).
  • Profit for the period amounted to SEK -86 million (1 144), equivalent to SEK -0,42 per share (5,54). The decrease can be attributed to this years unrealised changes in value of the property holdings, compared with the unrealised changes in value during the corresponding period last year (1 208).
  • The consolidated net profit for comparable holdings amounted to SEK 657 million (610), an increase of 8 per cent.
  • The rental vacancy level at the period-end continued to be low at 3,7 per cent (3.3 at the year-end).

GROUP

RESULTS

Property management 1

Gross profit for the period totalled SEK 434.7 million (415.3). The gross profit for comparable holdings rose to SEK 427.5 million, an increase of 3 per cent. The increase can be attributed mainly to higher rents in conjunction with new leases and renegotiations and at the same time higher maintenance costs being charged to profit. Net rents from property management during the period amounted to SEK 633.7 million (581.4).

The turnover-based rent supplement for the NK department stores is reported during the fourth quarter. The turnover-based rent supplement for the previous year amounted to SEK 16.8 million. Apart from this there were no material seasonal variations in rents.

The property management results for each business area for comparable holdings are reported on page 6.

Parking operations

Operations comprise parking operations at Parkaden in Stockholm.

Net revenue amounted to SEK 32.3 million (30.3), expenses amounted to SEK 23.0 million (22.6) and gross profit amounted to SEK 9.3 million (7.7).

Other Income Statement items

Central administration totalled SEK -14.4 million (-15.0). Changes in the value of investment properties totalled SEK -497.1 million (1,208.4) and in interest derivatives SEK 26.0 million (17.1).

1 The acquired property Rännilen 15 is included with effect from June 1, 2007. Otherwise, the property holdings remain unchanged compared with the same period in 2007.

Financial income and expense

Net financial income and expense amounted to SEK -74.6 million (-54.9). The increased net cost can be attributed to rises in current market interest rates and the fact that interest income was higher during the preceding year as a result of the proceeds from the sale of the World Trade Center.

Tax

The Group's tax (actual and deferred) for the period was positive and totalled SEK 30.0 million (-441.6), of which SEK -72.0 million (-76.6) was actual tax and SEK 102.0 million (-365.0) deferred tax.

Profit for the period

The consolidated profit after tax amounted to SEK -86.1 million (1,143.6).

ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

Investments during the year in properties and equipment totalled SEK 98.8 million (371.5). Previous year Rännilen 15 was acquired.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

The fair value of the Hufvudstaden property portfolio as of June 30, 2008 was estimated at SEK 20,131 million (20,530 at the year-end). The decrease can be attributed to the net of negative unrealised changes in value and investments in the property holdings. The rentable floor space was 353,675 square metres (353,685 at the year-end).

The total rental vacancy level as of June 30 continued to be low and was 3.7 per cent (3.3 at the year-end) and the total floor space vacancy level was 4.7 per cent (4.6 at the year-end).

During the autumn 2008 the tenant ABN AMRO will vacate almost 7,500 m2. The rental vacancy level for the Group after this change is estimated at 6.4 per cent and the floor space vacancy level 6.8 per cent.

Property value and net asset value

At mid-year and the year-end Hufvudstaden makes an internal valuation of the fair value of each individual property. The assessment is based on a valuation made using the direct yield method. In order to assure the values, external valuations have been commissioned from two valuation companies, DTZ Sverige AB and FS Fastighetsstrategi AB. The external valuations cover six properties and are equivalent to 26 per cent of the internally assessed fair value. The external valuation companies have produced a fair value of SEK 5.2 billion with a range of +/- 4-5 per cent. Hufvudstaden's internal valuation of the same properties amounted to SEK 5.2 billion. The internal valuations thus concur with the external valuations.

There is a continuous update made during the year of the internal valuation of the properties in order to take into account purchases, sales and investments. Hufvudstaden also investigates on a continuous basis whether there are other indications of changes in the fair value of the properties. This

could, for example, take the form of major lettings, terminations and material changes in the yield requirement.

In the light of the above, the increase in value during the period was estimated at SEK -0.5 billion. The total value of the property holdings as of June 30, 2008 was SEK 20.1 billion, including investments. The decrease during the first half of 2008 can be attributed mainly to a slightly higher direct yield requirement as a result of a tightening up of the credit market, higher interest rates and a slowdown in the economy. In our opinion, however, there is still interest in properties in Hufvudstaden's market area. The average direct yield requirement for the property holdings with the above valuation was 4.7 per cent (4.6 at the year-end).

Net asset value

Based on the valuation of the property holdings, the net asset value is SEK 14.6 billion or SEK 71 per share after tax. When calculating the net asset value, calculated deferred tax has been used. This has been calculated at 10 per cent of the difference between the assessed fair value and the residual value for tax purposes and has been assessed in the light of current tax legislation, which means that properties can be sold by a limited company without tax implications. The purchaser, however, loses the basis for depreciation, which could justify some compensation, which has been set at 10 per cent. If the tax rate according to the Balance Sheet (28 per cent) is used in the calculation, the net asset value would have been SEK 11.4 billion or SEK 55 per share. If the tax rate is assumed to be 0 per cent, the net asset value would have been SEK 16.3 billion or SEK 79 per share.

RENTAL MARKET

Interest in modern, flexible office space in prime locations in central Stockholm has remained largely unchanged during the period, mainly as a result of continued stable economic growth in the region. Vacant space in this category has fallen slightly and rents have levelled off. For office leases in Stockholm's most attractive locations within the Golden Triangle, at Norrmalmstorg/Hamngatan and in the Hötorg area, rents were noted of SEK 3,800-5,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. Interest in well-situated retail premises in the same sub-markets was also high. Rents for prime location retailing space are in the range SEK 12,000-16,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

Demand for modern, flexible office premises in the central sub-markets of Gothenburg has been stable. As in Stockholm, interest in properties requiring modernization has been low. Market rents for modern, well-arranged office premises in prime locations were SEK 1,600-2,200 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. For prime site retail premises the market rent was SEK 5,000-9,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

The Group's current renegotiations for both retail and office premises have proceeded in line with our expectations. During the period approximately

28,545 square metres were renegotiated at a value of around SEK 111 million. On average these renegotiations have resulted in an increase in rent of about 16 per cent.

FINANCING STRUCTURE

Hufvudstaden's borrowing as of June 30, 2008 amounted to SEK 3,400.0 million (3,400.0 at the year-end). The average fixed interest period was 37 months (40 at the year-end), the average capital tieup period was 58 months (53 at the year-end) and the average interest rate was 4.8 per cent (4.6 at the year-end). Net liabilities amounted to SEK 3,137.2 million (3,069.3 at the year-end).

The fair value of interest swaps as of June 30 was SEK 97. million (55.0 at the year-end). The change in value of financial instruments from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 has affected the income statement to the amount of SEK 26.0 million, or SEK 18.7 million after tax, and the hedge reserve in equity by SEK 11.9 million after tax.

SECOND QUARTER2

The gross profit on Property Management amounted to SEK 209.3 million (212.9). The change can be attributed primarily to higher mainenance costs as a result of vacation of premises by tenants in conjunction with the development of a property. The net rents amounted to SEK 316.1 million (293.0). Property management costs amounted to SEK 106.8 million (80.1).

The gross profit on parking operations amounted to SEK 4.8 million (3.5). Net revenue amounted to SEK 16.1 million (14.9) and operating costs amounted to SEK 11.3 million (11.4).

Changes in value in investment properties amounted to SEK -497.1 million (1,208.4) and in interest derivatives SEK 43.9 million (17.1). Financial income and expense amounted to SEK -38.8 million (-33.4). The lower financial income and expense can be explained by the rise in short-term market interest rates.

MATERIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

The Group is mainly exposed to financing, interest and credit risks and changes in value in the property holdings. The Company has not identified any material risks and uncertainties other than those described in the Annual Report for 2007.

MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS WITH ASSOCIATED PARTIES

There were no material transactions with associated parties during the period.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles remained unchanged compared with the most recent annual report.

2 The comparison figure refers to the second quarter of 2007. The property Rännilen 15 is included with effect from June 1, 2007. Otherwise the property portfolio remains unchanged compared with the same period the preceding year.

AUDITORS' REPORT

Introduction

I have reviewed this mid-year report for Hufvudstaden AB (publ), reg. no. 556012-8240 as of June 30, 2008 and the six-month period that came to an end on that date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this mid-year report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. My responsibility is to express a conclusion on this mid-year report based on my review.

Focus and scope of review

I conducted my review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410 Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Company. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Auditing Standard in

Sweden RS and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable me to obtain assurance that I would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the stated conclusion based on a review does not have the certainty of a stated conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that this mid-year report is not prepared for the Group in accordance in all material respects with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and in the case of the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
