HUFVUDSTADEN Interim Report January — September 2017

Q3

Interim Report January–September 2017

• Gross profit rose by 4 per cent to SEK 972 million (937). The increase can be attributed mainly to higher rental revenue.
• Net revenue amounted to SEK 1,361 million (1,322), an increase of 3 per cent.
• Profit after tax for the period was SEK 2,132 million (2,555), equivalent to SEK 10.33 per share (12.39). The decrease can be attributed to lower unrealized changes in the value of the property holdings.
• The fair value of the property holdings was set at SEK 38.8 billion (36.5 at the turn of the year), resulting in a net asset value of SEK 147 per share (138 at the turn of the year). The unrealized change in the value of the property holdings for the period was SEK 1,878 million (2,451).
• The equity ratio was 62 per cent (61), the net loan-to-value ratio was 15 per cent (16), and the interest coverage ratio multiple was 9.0 (8.5).
• The rental vacancy level at the period-end was 4.3 per cent (4.2). Excluding vacant space due to projects in progress, the rental vacancy level was 1.8 per cent (2.6).

RESULTS

Property management1)

Net rents from property management during the period amounted to SEK 1,294.6 million (1,258.7). Gross profit amounted to SEK 943.9 million (911.2). The increase can be attributed mainly to higher gross rents in conjunction with new and renegotiated leases and indexation.

The turnover-based rent supplement is reported during the fourth quarter. The turnover-based rent supplement for the previous year was SEK 16.0 million. There are no other material seasonal variations in rents.

The property management results for each business area are reported on page 7.

Parking operations

Operations comprise parking provision at Parkaden AB in Stockholm. Net revenue was SEK 65.9 million (62.9), expenses totalled SEK -38.1 million (-37.5) and gross profit was SEK 27.8 million (25.4).

Other profit and loss items

Central administration totalled SEK -28.4 million (-27.7). Changes in the value of investment properties totalled SEK 1,877.9 million (2,450.6) and changes in interest derivatives totalled SEK 48.4 million (24.5).

Financial income and expense

Net financial income and expense amounted to SEK -104.2 million (-107.2). The decrease can be attributed mainly to a slightly lower rate of interest on loans.

Tax

The Group's tax for the period was SEK -633.7 million (-721.7), of which SEK -117.8 million (-87.4) was actual tax and SEK -515.9 million (-634.3) was deferred tax. The increase in actual tax can be attributed to an increase in profits and allocation of appropriations to specific periods.

________________________________________ 1) The acquired property Inom Vallgraven 3:2 in Gothenburg is included with effect from March 1, 2016.

Profit for the period

The consolidated profit after tax amounted to SEK 2,131.7 million (2,555.1). The decrease can be attributed to a lower unrealized change in the value of the property holdings.

ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

The total investment in properties and equipment during the period was SEK 449.7 million (466.5). The decrease can be attributed to the acquisition during the previous year of the property Inom Vallgraven 3:2 in Gothenburg.

PROPERTY HOLDINGS

The fair value of the Hufvudstaden property holdings is based on an internal valuation, where the classification takes place on level 3 according to IFRS 13. The value assessed as at September 30, 2017 was SEK 38,842 million (36,517 at the turn of the year). The increase can be attributed to unrealized changes in value of the holdings and investments in the property holdings. Rentable floor space totalled approximately 389,000 square metres (389,000 at the turn of the year).

The rental vacancy level as at September 30, 2017 was 4.3 per cent (3.9 at the turn of the year) and the total floor space vacancy level was 6.1 per cent (5.3 at the turn of the year). The increase in vacant space is due to vacation of premises in conjunction with current development projects. New leases have already been signed for several of these premises. The level of vacant space, excluding projects in progress, totalled 1.8 per cent (2.6 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 valuation figures, external valuations of independent parts 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 account of 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 yield requirements.

In the light of the above, the assessed unrealized change in the value of the property holdings for the period was SEK 1,877.9 million (2,450.6). The total value of the property holdings as at September 30, 2017 was SEK 38.8 billion, including investments for the period. The unrealized increase in value can be attributed mainly to rising market rents.

The average yield requirement at the above valuation point was 3.8 per cent (3.9 at the turn of the year).

Valuation method

Valuation of the property holdings takes place by assessing the fair value of each individual property. 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 set 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 that have yet to be finalized provide guidance on market yield requirements. The yield requirement can vary between different regions and different areas within the regions. Account is also taken of the type of property, the technical standard, the construction of the building 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.

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

Yield requirements, property valuation

Stockholm	3.4-3.9 per cent
Gothenburg	4.1-4.8 per cent
Property holdings, average	3.8 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 the case of an external 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, in part, on the market situation, the technical standard of the property and investment requirements. Hufvudstaden's property holdings are valued at SEK 38.8 billion with a degree of uncertainty of +/- 5 per cent, which means that the fair value varies by +/- SEK 1.9 billion. Below are the key factors that influence the valuation and the consequent impact on profit.

Net asset value

Based on the valuation of the property holdings, the non-current net asset value (EPRA NAV) was SEK 32.2 billion or SEK 156 per share. The current net asset value (EPRA NNNAV) was SEK 30.4 billion or SEK 147 per share following a deduction for estimated deferred tax. This 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 estimated deferred tax has been set at 5 per cent.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY

Fastighetsbarometern1) is the customer satisfaction survey used in the property industry. This year, Hufvudstaden came first in the Large Company category with a score of 82 on a scale of 0-100, whilst the average for the industry was 73. Hufvudstaden was given the maximum score for service, reporting of faults, handling of complaints and adaptation.

RENTAL MARKET

The demand for modern, flexible office space in prime locations in central Stockholm continued to be strong during the period. Vacant space in this category has remained low and rents have risen. In Stockholm's most attractive locations – in Bibliotekstan, at Norrmalmstorg/Hamngatan and in the Hötorget area – office rents were noted of between SEK 5,700 and SEK 8,200 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. Interest in prime-location retail premises in the same sub-markets continued to be strong. For retail premises in prime locations, the market rents were between SEK 14,000 and SEK 24,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

Demand for modern office premises in central sub-markets in Gothenburg continued to be positive, with a continued low level of vacant space. Market rents in prime locations have risen slightly and are between SEK 2,500 and SEK 3,300 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement. For retail premises, the market rents are between SEK 6,000 and SEK 15,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.

The outcome from Group renegotiations of both retail and office premises has been positive. A total of 43,100 square metres were renegotiated during the period at a rental value of SEK 229 million. The renegotiations result in an average increase in rent of about 11 per cent for 2017.

FINANCING STRUCTURE

Hufvudstaden's borrowing as at September 30, 2017 amounted to SEK 6,450 million (6,650 at the turn of the year).

Hufvudstaden has an MTN programme totalling SEK 4.0 billion, and the outstanding amount is SEK 3.2 billion. Outstanding commercial paper amounted to SEK 0.8 billion. 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 1.6 years (1.9 at the turn of the year), the average capital tie-up period was 2.3 years (2.7 at the turn of the year), and the average annual equivalent rate of interest was 1.9 per cent (2.1 at the turn of the year). Net interest-bearing debt was SEK 5,925 million (5,536 at the turn of the year). Of the total borrowing, SEK 2,700 million carry a fixed rate of interest. To achieve the desired interest payment structure, use is made of interest derivatives. The underlying credit of SEK 2,700 million (3,250 at the turn of the year) is hedged via interest derivatives. The fair value of all interest derivatives as at September 30, 2017 was SEK -43.5 million (-91.9 at the turn of the year). The negative figure can be explained by a general fall in market interest rates since the derivatives were signed. Derivatives are valued at fair value in the Balance Sheet. All derivatives are classified as level 2 according to IFRS 13. There is no set-off of financial assets and liabilities and there are no agreements that permit netting.

_________________________________________ ¹) The organisations behind Fastighetsbarometern are the Swedish Property Federation and the consulting company CFI Group.

Other financial assets and liabilities are reported at amortized cost, which in all material respects concurs with the fair value.

THIRD QUARTER

Gross profit from property management amounted to SEK 320.6 million (313.2), an increase of 2 per cent. Net rents amounted to SEK 435.5 million (431.7). The increase can be attributed mainly to higher gross rents in conjunction with new and renegotiated leases and indexation. Property management costs amounted to SEK -114.9 million (-118.5). The third quarter of 2016 was affected by a new property taxation assessment, resulting in a higher property tax cost, which was largely passed on to the tenants.

Gross profit from parking operations was SEK 7.9 million (7.2). Net revenue was SEK 20.4 million (19.6) and costs were SEK -12.5 million (-12.4).

Changes in the value of investment properties amounted to SEK 360.3 million (868.2), and changes in the value of interest derivatives amounted to SEK 15.8 million (18.4). Net financial income and expense totalled SEK -35.0 million (-35.0).

SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS

Hufvudstaden, whose shares are listed on NASDAQ Stockholm, had 22,629 shareholders at the periodend. The proportion of foreign ownership as at September 30, 2017 was 31.4 per cent of the total number of outstanding shares (31.5 at the turn of the year). The series A share price as at September 30, 2017 was SEK 139.00, and market capitalization was SEK 30.8 billion.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On November 7, a fire broke out in the Vildmannen 7 property in the Bibliotekstan area of Stockholm. At the time of the fire, the building was undergoing a full renovation and was due for completion during the first half of 2018. No one was seriously injured in the fire, although the building was almost totally destroyed. Vildmannen 7 is a small property and makes up approximately 1% of Hufvudstaden's holdings. As the property is insured to its full value, the assessment is that the incident will not have any material impact on the Group's financial position.

MATERIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FAC-TORS

The Group is mainly exposed to financing, interest and credit risks and changes in the value of the property holdings. The Company has not identified any material risks and uncertainties other than those described in the 2016 Annual Report.

MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS WITH ASSOCIATED PARTIES

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

SEGMENT REPORT – SUMMARY 1) 2)

As part of the increased focus on business development and projects, Hufvudstaden carried out a reorganization that came into effect on April 1, 2017. Hufvudstaden still consists of three business areas. The division of properties has changed for the Stockholm Business Area (previously Stockholm City East Business Area) and the NK Business Area (previously Stockholm City West Business Area), but remains the same for the Gothenburg Business Area.
