2

Half-year Report January–June 2013

  • Profit after tax for the period was SEK 844 million (654), equivalent to SEK 4.09 per share (3.17). The increase can be attributed mainly to a higher unrealized change in value compared to the previous year.
  • Gross profit from property management increased by 6 per cent and amounted to SEK 558 million (527), mainly due to increased rental revenue.
  • The fair value of the property holdings was set at SEK 24.9 billion (23.1 at the turn of the year).
  • The net asset value was SEK 86 per share (84 at the turn of the year).
  • The equity ratio was 56 per cent (55), the net loan-to-value ratio was 23 per cent (19) and the interest coverage ratio multiple was 8.2 (6.2).
  • Consolidated net revenue amounted to SEK 795 million (763), an increase of 4 per cent.
  • The rental vacancy level at the period-end was 4.8 per cent (3.7 at the turn of the year).

RESULTS

Property management1

Net rents from property management during the period amounted to SEK 760.9 million (728.1), an increase of 5 per cent. The gross profit increased by 6 per cent to SEK 557.6 million (527.2). The increase can be attributed to higher rents in conjunction with renegotiations and new leases as well as result deriving from the acquired Nordstaden 8:26 property in Gothenburg.

The turnover-based rent supplement at the NK properties is reported during the fourth quarter. The turnover-based rent supplement the previous year was SEK 8.8 million. Otherwise, there are no material seasonal variations in rents.

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

Parking operations

Operations comprise parking operations at Parkaden AB in Stockholm. Net revenue was SEK 33.6 million (34.5), expenses SEK 24.4 million (24.3) and gross profit SEK 9.2 million (10.2).

Other profit and loss items

Central administration totalled SEK -16.9 million (-16.4). Changes in the value of property holdings totalled SEK 507.4 million (419.8) and changes in interest derivatives totalled SEK 89.6 million (32.6).

Financial income and expense

Net financial income and expense amounted to SEK -62.4 million (-82.3). Despite increased borrowing in conjunction with property acquisitions, net costs decreased due to a lower average rate of interest.

Tax

The Group's tax for the period was SEK -240.6 million (-237.4), of which SEK -78.5 million was actual tax (-101.8) and SEK -162.1 million was deferred tax (-135.6).

Profit for the period

The consolidated profit after tax amounted to SEK 843.9 million (653.7). The increase is due mainly to a higher unrealized increase in the value of the property holdings and the derivative portfolio.

1 The acquired property Nordstaden 8:26 is included from March 7, 2013.

ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

The total investment in properties and equipment during the period was SEK 1,375.1 million (82.9). The increase can be attributed to the acquisition of the Nordstaden 8:26 property in Gothenburg for SEK 1,265 million.

PROPERTY HOLDINGS

The fair value of the Hufvudstaden property holdings is based on an internal valuation and is as of June 30, 2013 estimated at SEK 24,939 million (23,058 at the turn of the year). The increase can be attributed to property acquisitions, investments in the property holdings and unrealized changes in value. Rentable floor space totalled 388,000 square metres.

The rental vacancy level as of June 30, 2013 was 4.8 per cent (3.7 at the turn of the year) and the floor space vacancy level was 6.3 per cent (5.4 at the turn of the year).

Property value and net asset value

At the end of each quarter, Hufvudstaden makes an internal valuation of each individual property. The purpose of the valuation is to assess the fair value of the property holdings. To assure the valuations, external valuations for part of the property holdings are obtained at least once a year.

A continuous update is made during the year of the internal valuation of the properties in order to take into account purchases, sales and investments. Hufvudstaden also examines on a continuous basis whether there are other indications of changes in the fair value of the properties. This could take the form, for example, of major lettings, terminations and material changes in the yield requirements.

In the light of the above, the unrealized change in value of the property holdings for the first half of 2013 was SEK 507.4 million (419.8). The total value of the property holdings as of June 30, 2013 was SEK 24.9 billion, including acquisitions and investments made during the period. The unrealized increase in value can be attributed to the effect of slightly lower yield requirements for certain properties as well as new and renegotiated leases.

The average yield requirement at the above valuation point was 4.8 per cent (4.8 at the turn of the year).

Valuation method

Valuation of the property holdings is done by assessing each individual property's fair value. The valuation is made using a variation on the location price method, known as the net capitalization method. The method means that the market's yield requirement is put in relation to the net operating income of the properties.

The yield requirement is based on information compiled about the market's yield requirement for actual purchases and sales of comparable properties in similar locations. If there have been few or no transactions within the property's sub-area, an analysis is made of transactions in neighbouring areas. Even transactions not concluded provide guidance on market yield requirements. The yield requirement can vary between different regions and different subareas within the regions. Account is also taken of the type of property, the technical standard, the building construction and major investment needs. For leasehold properties, the calculation was based on a yield

requirement that was 0.25 percentage points higher than for equivalent properties where the land is freehold. The net operating income of the properties is based on market rental income, the long-term rental vacancy level and normalized operating and maintenance costs.

In making the valuation, the following yield requirement figures for office and retailing properties have been applied:

Stockholm 4.4-5.1 per cent
Gothenburg 4.7-6.0 per cent
Property holdings, average 4.8 per cent

Sensitivity analysis

Fair value is an assessment of the probable sales price on the market at the time of the valuation. However, the price can only be set when a transaction has been completed. In conjunction with a property valuation, a range is often given to indicate the degree of uncertainty surrounding the estimates of fair value. The range is usually +/- 5 per cent but can vary depending, among other things, on the market situation, the technical standard of the property and investment requirements. Hufvudstaden's property holdings are valued at SEK 24.9 billion with a degree of uncertainty of +/- 5 per cent, which means that the assessed fair value varies by +/-SEK 1.2 billion. Below are the key factors that influence the valuation and the consequent impact on profit.

Property costs SEK 50/m2 SEK 405 m
Rental vacancy 1.0 percentage
level points SEK 340 m
Yield requirement 0.25percentage
points SEK 1,300 m

External valuation

To guarantee the valuation, external valuations were obtained from three valuation companies, Forum Fastighetsekonomi AB, Newsec Advice AB and NAI Svefa AB. The external valuations cover 11 properties and are equivalent to 31 per cent of the internally assessed fair value. The starting point for selecting the properties was that the objects selected should represent different property categories, towns, locations, technical standard and construction standard. The properties that underwent an external valuation were Grönlandet Södra 11, Hästhuvudet 13, Järnplåten 28, Kungliga Trädgården 5, Kvasten 2, Kåkenhusen 39, Orgelpipan 7, Packarhuset 4, Pumpstocken 10 (part of), Vildmannen 7 in Stockholm and Inom Vallgraven 10:9 (NK) in Gothenburg.

The external valuation companies set a market value for these properties of SEK 8.1 billion. Hufvudstaden's internal valuation of the same properties was SEK 7.8 billion. The internal valuations thus concur well with the external valuations.

Net asset value

Based on the valuation of the property holdings, the net asset value, following a deduction for the dividend paid, was SEK 17.7 billion or SEK 86 per share after tax. When calculating the net asset value, calculated deferred tax has been used. This has been set at 5 per cent of the difference between the assessed fair value of the properties and the residual value for tax purposes. The assessment is made in the light of current tax legislation, which means that properties can be sold via a limited company without tax implications. The purchaser, however, loses the basis for depreciation, which could justify some compensation, which has been set at 5 per cent. If the tax rate according to the Balance Sheet (22 per cent) had been used in the calculation, the net asset value would have been SEK 14.2 billion or SEK 69 per share. If the tax rate was assumed to be 0 per cent, the net asset value would have been SEK 18.8 billion or SEK 91 per share.

RENTAL MARKET

Interest in modern, flexible office space in prime locations in central Stockholm continued to be good during the period. Vacant space in this category has remained low and rents are stable. In conjunction with renegotiations and new leases for office space in Stockholm's most attractive locations in Bibliotekstan, at Norrmalmstorg/Hamngatan and in the Hötorget area, rents were noted of between SEK 4,200 and SEK 5,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. Interest in primelocation retail premises in the same sub-markets has also been high with rents ranging from SEK 13,000 to SEK 19,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

Demand for modern office premises in the central sub-markets of Gothenburg has been good with a slight rise in rents. Market rents for modern, wellplanned office premises in prime locations have risen and were between SEK 2,000 and SEK 2,700 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. For retail premises, the market rents were between SEK 6,000 and SEK 13,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

The Group's renegotiations of retail and office leases have proceeded in line with our expectations. In total, 18,700 square metres were renegotiated during the period at a rental value of SEK 77 million. On average, these renegotiations have resulted in an increase in rent of approximately 4 per cent.

FINANCING STRUCTURE

Hufvudstaden's borrowing as of June 30, 2013 amounted to SEK 5,950 million (4,700 at the turn of the year). During the first half of the year, bonds were issued totalling SEK 1,200 million and the total outstanding amount is SEK 1,700 million. Outstanding commercial paper amounted to SEK 1,400 million. Hufvudstaden ensures that at any point in time there are unutilized loan assurances to cover all outstanding commercial paper. The average fixed interest period was 44 months (47 at the turn of the year), the average capital tie-up period was 50 months (47 at the turn of the year) and the average annual equivalent rate was 2.3 per cent (2.1 at the turn of the year). The net interest-bearing debt was SEK 5,644 million (4,203 at the turn of the year).

The fair value of all interest swaps as of June 30, 2013 was SEK 66.6 million (-23.0 at the turn of the year).

SECOND QUARTER

The gross profit from property management amounted to SEK 294.1 million (263.7), an increase of 12 per cent. The change can be attributed mainly to higher gross rents and the result deriving from the acquired Nordstaden 8:26 property in Gothenburg. Net rents amounted to SEK 388.0 million (364.9), an increase of 6 per cent. Property management costs amounted to SEK 93.9 million (101.2). The decrease can be attributed mainly to lower maintenance costs.

The gross profit from parking operations was SEK 4.5 million (5.0). Net revenue was SEK 16.7 million (17.1) and costs SEK 12.2 million (12.1).

Changes in the value of properties amounted to 434.2 million (225.1) and changes in the value of interest derivatives amounted to SEK 50.6 million (-15.3). Net financial income and expense totalled SEK -32.6 million (-42.6). Despite the increase in borrowing in conjunction with property acquisitions, the net cost has fallen as a result of a lower average rate of interest.

Hufvudstaden, whose shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, had 17,600 shareholders at the end of the period.

PARENT COMPANY

RESULT AND POSITION

Net revenue amounted to SEK 475.5 million (442.4). The gross profit was SEK 264.6 million (238.2). The increase in net revenue can be attributed to higher rents following renegotiations as well as revenue from the newly acquired property Nordstaden 8:26 in Gothenburg. Net financial income and expense was SEK -62.4 million (-79.1).

Cash and cash equivalents at the period-end amounted to SEK 305.3 million (231.6). Investments in properties and equipment during the period totalled SEK 1,293.7 million (10.9). The increase can be attributed to the acquisition of the Nordstaden 8:26 property in Gothenburg.

REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Hufvudstaden AB (publ)

Introduction

We have reviewed the summary of the financial interim information for Hufvudstaden AB (publ), registration number 556012-8240, as of June 30, 2013 and the six-month period ending as of this date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Interim Report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410 Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information 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 International Standards on Auditing

(ISA), and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Report for the Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
