Interim Report January - March 2008

  • The gross profit from property management for comparable holdings in- $\bullet$ creased by 10 per cent to SEK 222 million (202). The improvement in profit can be attributed mainly to higher rents.

  • The rental vacancy level at the period-end continued to be low and was 3.8 $\bullet$ per cent (3.3 at the year-end).

GROUP

RESULTS

Property management1

Gross profit for the period totalled SEK 225.4 million (202.4). The gross profit for comparable holdings rose to SEK 221.8 million, an increase of 10 per cent. The increase can be attributed mainly to higher rents, new leases and renegotiations. Net rents from property management during the period amounted to SEK 317.6 million (288.4).

The turnover-based rent supplement for the NK department stores is reported during the fourth quarter. The turnover-based rent supplement for 2007 amounted to SEK 16.8 million. Apart from this there were no 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 16.2 million (15.4), expenses amounted to SEK 11.7 million (11.2) and gross profit amounted to SEK 4.5 million $(4.2)$ .

Other Income Statement items

Central administration totalled SEK -7.7 million (-6.9). Changes in the value of investment properties totalled SEK 0.0 million (0.0) and in interest derivatives SEK -17.9 million (0.0).

Financial income and expense

Net financial income and expense amounted to SEK -35.8 million (-21.5). 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 increased liquidity following the sale of the World Trade Center.

Tax

The Group's tax (actual and deferred) for the year totalled SEK -48.5 million (-53.4), of which SEK -39.1 million (-42.1) was actual tax and SEK-9.4 million (-11.3) deferred tax.

Profit for the period

The consolidated profit after tax amounted to SEK 120.0 million (131.4), a decrease of 9 per cent.

<sup>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.

ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

Investments during the year in properties and equipment totalled SEK 45.6 million (29.8).

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

The fair value of the Hufvudstaden property portfolio as of March 31, 2008 was estimated at SEK 20,576 million (20,530 at the year-end). The increase can be attributed to investments in the property holdings. The rentable floor space was 353,767 square metres (353,685 at the year-end).

The total rental vacancy level as of March 31 continued to be low and was 3.8 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).

Property value and net asset value

At the turn of each year, 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. To assure the evaluations, external valuations are obtained for part of the property holdings.

There is a continuous update made during the vear 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 2007 was estimated at SEK 2.6 billion. The total value of the property holdings as of December 31, 2007 was SEK 20.5 billion, including investments. The increase during the first half of 2007 can be attributed mainly to an estimated lower direct yield requirement and during the second half of the year it can be attributed mainly to a strong rise in rents. The average direct yield requirement for the property holdings in conjunction with the above valuation was 4.6 per cent (4.8). Apart from investments totalling SEK 45 million no major change in the value of the property holdings is considered to have taken place during the first quarter of 2008 and consequently the fair value of the property holdings as of March 31, 2008 is set at SEK 20.6 billion.

Net asset value

Based on the valuation of the property holdings, the net asset value is SEK 14.8 billion or SEK 72 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 11.6 billion or SEK 56 per share. If the tax rate is assumed to be 0 per cent, the net asset value would have been SEK 16.7 billion or SEK 81 per share.

RENTAL MARKET

Interest in flexible, high-quality office space in prime locations in sub-markets of central Stockholm was stable during the period, mainly as a result of improved economic growth in the region. Vacant space in this category has fallen and rents have risen. 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. There was, however, a continued low level of interest in properties of low standard requiring modernization and this is the same in Stockholm. Market rents for modern, well-arranged office premises in prime locations were between SEK 1,600 and SEK 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.

FINANCING STRUCTURE

Hufvudstaden's borrowing as of March 31, 2008 amounted to SEK 3,400.0 million (3,400.0 at the year-end). The average fixed interest period was 39 months (40 at the year-end), the average capital tieup period was 50 months (53 at the year-end) and the average interest rate was 4.7 per cent (4.6 at the year-end). Net liabilities amounted to SEK 3,231.7 million (3,069.3 at the turn of the year).

The fair value of interest swaps as of March 31 was SEK 25.8 million (55.0 at the year-end). The change in value of financial instruments from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008 has affected the income statement to the amount of SEK-17.9 million, or SEK -12.9 after tax, and the hedge reserve in equity by SEK -8.0 million after tax.
