Interim report January–March 2022 Hufvudstaden 2
Net revenue from property management excluding intra-Group rents of SEK 50.3 million (33.7) totalled SEK 448.7 million (425.3) for the period. Gross profit was SEK 288.0 million (283.8) excluding intra-Group rents. The increase was attributable primarily to decreased rent reductions for stores and restaurants, indexation as well as higher gross rents related to renegotiations, and new leases. Property tax increased due to provisions for new property tax assessments and the cost has mainly been invoiced onwards to the tenants. The cost of maintenance during the period was higher than normal.
The turnover-based rent supplement is reported in the fourth quarter. The turnover-based rent supplement for the preceding year totalled SEK 8.8 million. Apart from the turnover-based rent supplement, there are no other material seasonal variations in rents.
The property management results for each business area are reported on page 8.
Other segments comprise NK Retail and other operations. Other operations consist of Cecil Coworking, NK e-commerce and the parking business in Parkaden AB.
NK Retail accessed the NK business on 3 February 2021. Net revenue amounted to SEK 164.1 million (74.4). Costs excluding intra-Group rents of SEK -33.7 million (-20.8) were SEK -162.9 million (-59.7). Profit for NK Retail excluding intra-Group rental costs was SEK 1.2 million (14.7). The result was affected by the effects from restrictions and recommendations in conjunction with Covid-19. Sales for NK Retail is impacted by seasonal variations, with the first quarter of the year normally being the weakest and the fourth quarter the strongest.
Net revenue from other operations amounted to SEK 31.0 million (17.9). The increase was mainly attributable to higher revenue for Cecil Coworking and the parking business in Parkaden AB. Costs excluding intra-Group rents of SEK -16.6 million (-12.9) were SEK -17.1 million (-16.7). Profit excluding intra-Group rental costs was SEK 13.9 million (1.2).
For further information, see Segment Reporting on page 8.
Central administration totalled SEK -12.8 million (-12.2). Unrealised changes in the value of investment properties totalled SEK 227.0 million (-235.6). For further information, see page 4.
Net financial income and expense amounted to SEK -38.0 million (-33.6), of which SEK -32.4 million (-28.0) refers to the cost of borrowing, and SEK -5.6 million (-5.6) to leasing costs, primarily ground rents. The increase in financial expenses is due to increased borrowing and higher borrowing costs. For further information, see page 5.
The Group's tax for the period was SEK -99.3 million (-4.6), of which SEK -19.1 million (-20.9) in current tax and SEK -80.2 million (16.3) in deferred tax. The increase in deferred tax is attributable primarily to positive unrealised changes in value in property holdings.
The consolidated net profit was SEK 380.0 million (13.7). The increase is attributable to positive unrealised changes in value in the property holdings.
The fair value of the Hufvudstaden property holdings is based on an internal valuation, where classification takes place on level 3 according to IFRS 13. The assessed value as at March 31, 2022 was SEK 49,206 million (48,790 at year-end). The increase is attributable to positive unrealised changes in value and investments. Rentable floor space totalled approximately 386,400 square metres (386,500 at yearend).
The total rental vacancy rate as at March 31, 2022 was 9.7 per cent (7.3 at year-end) and the total floor space vacancy rate was 14.7 per cent (10.2 at yearend). The rental vacancy rate, excluding current development projects (EPRA vacancy rate), totalled 6.7 per cent (5.9 at year-end). The increase in the rental vacancy rate, excluding current development projects, was primarily attributable to a couple of office tenants relocating. Several leases were signed with access during the latter part of 2022.
Total investments were SEK 203.3 million (190.7), of which investments in properties and other non-current assets were SEK 203.3 million (150.9).
At present, current and planned projects are worth approximately SEK 3 billion. Major projects are presented in the table below.
Development of the women's floors in the NK Department Stores in Stockholm and Gothenburg is ongoing. The projects aim to create a more efficient layout with new designs for the departments and improved customer flows.

1) Includes estimated costs for rent losses and financing that are continuously recognised in profit and loss as well as costs for evacuation. The investment in the Vildmannen 7 property includes extraordinary costs resulting from the fire in 2017.
The process of connecting more departments to NK e-commerce continued during the first quarter of the year.
In Vildmannen 7 in Bibliotekstan, the foundation work was completed in 2021. The work on the new frame was essentially completed during the first quarter of this year. The dismantling of the trusses around the existing facades commenced ahead of the renovation of these facades. A lease was signed earlier with Cirio Advokatbyrå for approximately 2,200 square metres of office space. Interest is strong in the remaining office space of about 700 square metres and in the property's retail premises. The new building will offer highly modern and efficient offices as well as attractive stores in a unique environment. The building will be accessed in stages in 2023.
In Gothenburg, light demolition, foundation reinforcement and other preparatory work continued as the first part of the extensive redevelopment and expansion of the project Johanna in the Inom Vallgraven 12 block. The new local plan allows for additional building permissions of around 15,000 square metres in gross area. Building permission for the project was obtained at the end of 2021 and a partnership agreement was previously signed with NCC as the main contractor. The project is expected to lead to an increase in the lettable area of approximately 11,600 square metres. Completion is expected to be in late 2025 or early 2026. In the Inom Vallgraven 3:2 property, the conversion into housing and major maintenance measures are in progress. The project is expected to be completed at the end of 2022.
At the end of each quarter, Hufvudstaden carries out 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 quality of the valuation, external valuations of 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. These indications could take the form, for example, of major leases, terminations, and material changes in the yield requirements.
In the light of the above, the assessed unrealised change in the value of the property holdings for the period was SEK 227.0 million (-235.6). The total value of the property holdings at March 31, 2022 was SEK 49.2 billion, including investments for the period. The unrealised increase in value was primarily due to the effect of higher rents for offices.
The average yield requirement is unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and stood at 3.5 per cent at the above valuation (3.5 at year-end).
Valuation of the property holdings is carried out 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 capitalisation method. The method involves setting the market's yield requirement in relation to the net operating income of the properties. In the case of other project properties and undeveloped land, the valuation is based on a completed building with a deduction for construction costs, as well as financial costs and the cost of vacant space that arose during the construction period.
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 few or no deals are concluded in the property's sub-area, transactions in the adjoining area are analysed. Even transactions that have yet to be finalised provide guidance on market yield requirements.
The yield requirement can vary between different regions and different sub-areas within the regions. Account is also taken of the type of property, the technical standard, the construction of the building, and major investment requirements. For leasehold properties, the calculation is based on a yield requirement that was 0.20 percentage points higher than for equivalent properties where the land is freehold. The net operating income of the properties is based on market rent revenue, the long-term rental vacancy rate, and normalised operating and maintenance costs. If there is greater uncertainty than normal, this is offset by the increased direct yield requirements in the valuation.
When carrying out the valuation, the following yield requirement figures for office and retail properties have been applied:
| Stockholm | 3.1-3.5 per cent |
|---|---|
| Gothenburg | 4.0-4.8 per cent |
| Property holdings, average | 3.5 per cent |
1) Valuation date: March 31, 2022
Fair value is an estimation 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 value 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 49.2 billion, with a degree of uncertainty of +/- 5 per cent, which means that the estimated fair value varies by +/- SEK 2.5 billion. Below are the key factors that influence the valuation and the consequent impact on profit or loss before tax.
| Impact on | ||
|---|---|---|
| profit or loss | ||
| Change, +/- | before tax, +/- | |
| Rental revenue | SEK 100/sq m | SEK 1,110 m |

| Rental vacancy rate | 1.0 percentage points | SEK 660 m |
| Yield requirement | 0.25 percentage points SEK 3,560 m |
1) Valuation date: March 31, 2022
Based on the valuation of the property holdings, the net reinstatement value (EPRA NRV) is SEK 40.3 billion or SEK 199 per share. Net tangible assets (EPRA NTA) amounted to SEK 37.9 billion or SEK 187 per share after a deduction for estimated deferred tax. This assessment is based on current tax legislation and market practice, which means that properties can be sold via a limited company without tax implications. The assessed deferred tax has been assumed to be 5 per cent.

In Stockholm City, activity in the office rental market was good during the first quarter of the year. The demand was mainly for modern, flexible office premises in the best locations. Vacancy rates were stable or decreased somewhat and in Stockholm's most attractive locations - Bibliotekstan, Norrmalmstorg/Hamngatan, and the Hötorget area - market rents for modern offices increased somewhat at SEK 6,400-8,800 per square metre and year, excluding the property tax supplement. The market for retail premises recovered somewhat, with an increase in interested parties and leases signed. The market rents for retail premises in prime commercial locations were in the range of SEK 11,000-24,000 per square metre and year, excluding the property tax supplement.
In the central sub-markets of Gothenburg, the demand was mainly for modern and flexible office premises. Vacancies rose slightly and market rents in the most attractive locations had a positive trend and were between SEK 3,000-3,900 per square metre and year, excluding the property tax supplement. For retail premises in central commercial locations, market rents were between SEK 3,000-13,000 per square metre per year, excluding the property tax supplement.
Hufvudstaden's financing requirements are met through a number of the major Nordic banks and the capital market. Total borrowing as at March 31, 2022 amounted to SEK 9,100 million (9,200 at year-end). Interest-bearing net debt was SEK 8,499 million (8,018 at year-end). In addition, leasing debt according to IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 714 million (716 at yearend), and total net debt was SEK 9,213 million (8,734 at year-end). In addition to outstanding loans, there are unutilised loan commitments amounting to SEK 4,500 million.
Hufvudstaden has an MTN programme totalling SEK 12,000 million, and a commercial paper programme amounting to SEK 3,000 million. The outstanding amount in bonds was SEK 7,800 million and there was SEK 300 million in commercial paper. Hufvudstaden ensures that at any point in time there are unutilised loan assurances to cover all outstanding commercial paper.

The average fixed interest period was 2.3 years (2.2 at year-end), the average capital tie-up period was 2.6 years (2.6 at year-end), and the average equivalent rate of interest was 1.4 per cent (1.3 at year-end) including and 1.3 per cent (1.2 at year-end) excluding costs for unutilised loan commitments. The capital tieup period for commercial paper loans was calculated based on the underlying loan commitments. To achieve the desired interest payment structure, borrowing takes place at both a fixed and variable rate of interest. Of the long-term borrowings, SEK 6,000 million carries a fixed rate of interest. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, which concurs in all essentials with fair value, apart from the bond loans. For bond loans with a fixed rate of interest, the surplus value is SEK 211.3 million (13.0 at yearend). These values were calculated on the basis of level 2 in IFRS 13, which means that the value has been calculated based on official market listings.

1) At the Annual General Meeting on March 25, 2021, the Meeting decided to distribute SEK 2.50 per share to the shareholders, corre-
sponding to a total of SEK 506 million. The payment date for the dividend was April 1, 2021.
2) Recalculated 12 months.
Net revenue amounted to SEK 349.3 million (326.1). Operating expenses amounted to SEK -195.0 million (-175.7). Gross profit was SEK 154.3 million (150.4). The increase was attributable primarily to reduced rent reductions for stores and restaurants, indexation and higher gross rents for renegotiations and new leases. The property tax has increased as a result of provisions for new property tax assessments and the cost has mainly been passed on to the tenants. Costs have also been affected by higher depreciation. Net financial income and expense was SEK - 30.3 million (-43.1).
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 559.4 million (910.3). Investments in properties, intangible assets, equipment and shares in subsidiaries amounted to SEK 90.0 million (27.7).
The Company is mainly exposed to financing, interest and credit risks. In addition to what is stated for the Company on page 6, no other material risks or uncertainties have been identified than those described in the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.
No material transactions with related parties took place during the period.
The parent company applies RFR2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. This interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with Section 9 of the Annual Accounts Act, Interim Financial Statements. The accounting policies and basis for calculations remain unchanged from the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.
