K-Fast Holding AB's (K-Fastigheter) business concept is committed and cost-efficient development, construction, management and long-term ownership of the market's most attractive residential properties in terms of condition, standard and service levels. The Group offers internally produced and acquired rental housing in the Nordics, in locations with strong long-term demand for rental housing and commercial premises.
1 December 2020 was an important date for K-Fastigheter. On the same day the company celebrated its 10-year anniversary since foundation and one year since listing of the company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm, the company took its next step in its progress by signing the agreement for the acquisition of Finja Prefab AB.
Finja Prefab is a nationwide producer of prefabricated concrete elements and a full-service frame contractor with a wide product range of wall panels, foundations, floor structures and balconies. The strategic acquisition secures K-Fastigheter's access to key components for the continued construction of its concept buildings in several locations around Sweden and Denmark. As part of K-Fastigheter, Finja Prefab continues to strengthen its position as a leading partner for Swedish construction companies and develop its successful sustainability work.
Finja Prefab originates in the company Finja AB, founded in 1957 in the southern Swedish town of Finja, outside Hässleholm. The company has six proprietary plants located in i Borensberg, Finja, Hultsfred, Katrineholm, Vara and Östra Grevie, and leases a seventh in Bollebygd. The company has also recently acquired a prefab plant in Strängnäs. The company is organized into Regions: South, West and East and has in-house assembly teams based in each region, with potential to expand operations into the Copenhagen region. K-Fastigheter has an ongoing collaboration with Finja Prefab relating to the project Vallensbæk Strand in the Copenhagen region.
Finja Prefab has approximately 550 employees. In 2020, sales totaled SEK 881.4 million, down 16.4 percent on 2019, mainly due to pandemic effects in the first half of 2020. The acquired operations are included in the Group from 1 January 2021 and are reported as a separate business area from that date. Please also refer to Note 40, page 118.



K-Fastigheter is a project development, construction and property company focused primarily on rental housing properties. With commitment at all levels, K-Fastigheter creates attractive homes offering a high degree of comfort. The Group's proprietary concept buildings; Low-Rise, Lateral Low-Rise and Apartment Block, meet demands for better housing from tenants and social planners.
The Group holds a strong position in the Öresund region and in selected towns and cities in southern and western Sweden. In 2020, K-Fastigheter established operations in Denmark and in the Mälardalen region. Our vision is to become one of the Nordic region's largest operators and a leading property owner of sustainably constructed, innovative and cost-efficient concept buildings meeting the wants and needs of tenants seeking to establish a home for many years to come. The housing offered by the Group is to be distinguished by the best combination of high standard, home comfort and security in the market.
In December 2020, K-Fastigheter signed an agreement to acquire Finja Prefab AB, a market leader within prefabricated concrete elements and a full-service frame contractor with a wide product range of wall panels, foundations, floor structures and balconies. The acquisition secures K-Fastigheter's access to key components for the construction of the Group's concept buildings in several locations around Sweden and Denmark.
Based in Hässleholm, Sweden, and with production facilities and local offices in strategically selected locations, K-Fastigheter currently has some 630 employees. K-Fast Holding AB's Class B share has been listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange since November 2019 under the ticker KFAST B. The largest shareholders are Jacob Karlsson AB, Erik Selin Fastigheter Aktiebolag and Capital Group.

"In 2020, K-Fastigheter celebrated its 10-year anniversary and its first year as a listed company. Otherwise, like all other years in our 10 year history, this year was characterized by a high pace and great performance by our driven employees."
Jacob Karlsson, CEO of K-Fast Holding AB

Jacob Karlsson, CEO of K-Fast Holding AB
2020 was a different and eventful year, when the Covid-19 pandemic impacted significantly on people's health, society and the financial markets. In addition to those who are directly affected by the virus and fall ill, it is saddening to see the economic effects. Fortunately, the pandemic has had little or limited negative impact on K-Fastigheter's operations. As a committed landlord, we maintain a close dialog with our most affected tenants. On the whole, the financial impact was very limited, and we actually had fewer late rental payments at year end 2020 compared to the previous year. In this context, I would like to shine the spotlight on our employees, who contribute in many different ways and have made an extraordinary effort to support our tenants as well as their colleagues.
In 2020, K-Fastigheter celebrated its 10-year anniversary and our first year as a listed company. Otherwise, like all other years in our 10-year history, this year was characterized by a high pace and great performance by our driven employees.
Furthermore, we finalized the acquisition of Finja Prefab, which provides us with the infrastructure we need to enable our geographical growth plan, and a directed new share issue raised a total of SEK 504 million before issue expenses. The funds were primarily used to expand our portfolio of building rights. Profit
after tax for the year was SEK 475 million, corresponding to profit growth of 30 percent year-on-year. NAV per share increased by 36 percent in the year.
In the year, K-Fastigheter started construction of 912 apartments, and there were 1,311 apartments in production at year end, compared to 700 apartments in production at the end of 2019, an increase of 87 percent. The organization has demonstrated that the resources are in place to take on far more projects and to increase the volume of apartments in production. Our portfolio of building rights in project development grew from 1,340 to 3,880 in the year, an increase of 190 percent.
Considering these factors, we have good reasons for increasing our previously communicated operational target of 1,000 new apartment construction starts annually by the end of 2023. We feel well equipped to exceed that target by a good margin, and have chosen to revise it to 1,300 apartments annually by the end of 2023.
As previously mentioned, the Project Development business area has a great portfolio of attractive building rights, where we focus on acquiring building rights at an early stage to enable us to influence the planning process. I am often asked if K-Fastigheter will be able to maintain such low acquisition costs for its HOMES produced inhouse in the future. My answer is that I am convinced that we can in fact become even more cost-efficient. Historically, K-Fastigheter has acquired building rights on market terms, where the degree

of utilization of building rights has rarely been maximized - a disadvantage when building concept houses and working with pre-determined measurements. We ensure our financial efficiency through standardized and financially effective construction. At the end of the year, average acquisition costs in relation to market value on completion were 73.1 percent for proprietary projects, considerably below our maximum of 75 percent. This means that, on average, we generate unrealized values of close to 27 percent in our projects.
When we carry out construction on the basis of detailed development plans that we have contributed to ourselves, and where we have been able to adapt the plans to our concept buildings, we can access building rights with low acquisition costs and a high degree of utilization, and where the rights are optimized for our concept buildings. The first construction starts based on detailed development plans initiated by us are expected within two to three years. On this basis, I am convinced that our total acquisition cost in relation to market value, which we term PTV (production-to-value), will be lower in future than it is today, given unchanged market values.
In 2020, our property management portfolio grew by 46 percent in terms of market value at year end, which was in line with growth in rental income of 30 percent, and profit from property management which was up by 42 percent. Unfortunately profit from property management and the surplus ratio were negatively affected by continued high economic vacancies in Växjö. As I explained in the third quarter report, we have taken possession of a major new-build holding of 171 apartments intended as tenant-owner units, which we have acquired to convert to rental apartments. This meant that letting started relatively late in the process. In addition, we completed three Apartment Blocks containing 66 apartments

in a neighboring property in the fourth quarter. This meant that we could offer significant volumes to the market in a relatively short period of time. Our assessment is that the relatively high vacancies are a short-term issue, and that these will fall in line with other completed projects in Växjö during 2021, where we have zero vacancies. In the long term, I am very confident that the area will become one of our more attractive ones, as the property standard is very high, and the property is in a central and attractive location. Excluding the above projects, we had a very high financial letting ratio of 97.4 percent at the end of the period.
On 1 December 2020 we entered an agreement relating to the acquisition of Finja Prefab AB, a nationwide leading provider of prefabricated concrete elements. We took possession in January 2021, and the operations will be reported as an independent business area from the first quarter 2021. The acquisition strengthens Finja Prefab's position as a leading supplier to Swedish construction companies at the same time as K-Fastigheter secures access to critical construction components.
The acquisition assures the infrastructure required for K-Fastigheter's geographical expansion. Finja Prefab has seven plants in three main regions: South, East and West, with its own assembly teams in each region. The strategic acquisition and our existing manufacturing plants for lightweight external wall units provide us with all the critical construction components needed for our three concept buildings. Concrete elements are a critical component in our concept buildings and represent a large proportion of the total acquisition cost. I am convinced that a high rate of prefabrication in a controlled process ensures the most costefficient and high-quality housing production possible. Accordingly, the acquisition of Finja Prefab is the most important transaction
carried out in K-Fastigheter's ten-year history, and will contribute to improve PTV as outlined above.
Our business concept of owning and managing HOMES with an unlimited time frame, makes concrete the right choice of material from an overall perspective. Concrete is sometimes cited as being less sustainable than other construction materials, something I consider to be incorrect. From a CO2 perspective, traditional concrete frames are worse than wood frames in a 100-year perspective. BUT you only have to increase the time frame to a 150 year perspective for concrete to have a lower overall CO2 footprint. And our business concept of owning and managing properties with an unlimited time frame means that we are building housing with a life span of over 150 years. In addition, Finja Prefab is a flagship provider of sustainable prefab production that manufactures climate-positive concrete frames, partly by utilizing reinforcement bars from reclaimed steel.
To summarize the year 2020: We maintained a high pace of transactions for future growth, and are entering 2021 as a new company with a fourth business area and a new, higher operational target. The share price increased by 66 percent, which was positive for our approximately 3,600 shareholders.
At the end of the year, our total portfolio of apartments under management, in production, in the project portfolio and acquisitions where we have not yet taken possession totaled 7,496, an increase of 90 percent year-on-year.
- Jacob Karlsson, April 2021


K-Fastigheter's clear business concept guides all our operations. In 2020, we achieved several of our goals and established a new sustainability framework. From 2021 onwards, we increased our production capacity through the acquisition of Finja Prefab.
K-Fastigheter's vision is to be one of the Nordic region's largest operators on the rental market, and a leading property owner of sustainable, innovative and cost-efficient concept buildings characterized by a market-leading combination of high standards, comfort and security.
K-Fastigheter's business concept is committed and cost-efficient development, construction, management and long-term ownership of the market's most attractive residential properties in terms of condition, standard and service levels. The Group offers internally produced and acquired rental housing in the Nordics, in locations with strong long-term demand for rental housing and commercial premises.
Through its business areas, the Group shall generate value growth based on the following fundamentals:
K-Fastigheter's overarching goal is to generate value for the company's shareholders. Over a business cycle, value creation is measured as growth in long-term net asset value per share.
| Operational targets | 2020 | Target achievement Comment 2019 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| In the long term, rental income from housing shall comprise at least 80 percent of K-Fastigheter's total rental income. |
86% | 85% | Rental income amounted to SEK 203.9 million (156.8) for the year, an increase of 30 percent compared to the previous year. Of the SEK 47.1 million increase in the period, 21 percent derived from rental income from properties acquired in the year, 65 percent from rental income on completed properties, and 14 percent from increased rental income on properties owned at the start of 2020. |
| The number of apartments in construction for management by the company shall amount to 1,300 annually before the end of 2023. |
912 | 518 | There were 912 (518) construction starts of apartments in 2020. In February 2021, K-Fastigheter's Board decided to change the operational target for apartment construction starts for proprietary management from 1,000 to 1,300 before the end of 2023. |
| At the end of 2023, K-Fastigheter shall manage at least 5,000 apartments in the Nordics. |
2,237 | 1,711 | At the end of 2020, K-Fastigheter had 2,237 apartments under management, 1,311 apartments in production, 3,880 apartments in project development and 68 acquired apartments, totaling 7,496 apartments. In the first quarter of 2021, K-Fastigheter acquired building rights for a further 1,200 apartments in Sweden. |
| Financial targets | Target achievement 2020 |
2019 | Comment |
| Over an economic cycle, growth in long-term net asset value per share shall average at least 20 percent annually, including any value transfers. |
At the end of the year, long-term net asset value (NAV) amounted to SEK 3,661.2 million (2,540.2), corresponding to SEK 102.02 per share (74.96). Long-term net asset value per share increased by 36 percent compared to 31 December 2019. |
||
| Annual growth in profit per share from property management shall average at least 20 percent over an economic cycle. |
Profit from property management amounted to SEK 75.3 million (52.9), up 42 percent. A new share issue was carried out in 2020 and profit from property management per share amounted to SEK 2.18 (2.05), an increase of 6 percent on the previous year. |
||
| The target is for growth in net asset value and profit from property management to be generated while maintaining a stable and sound financial position and with balanced financial risk-taking, meaning that: |
|||
| The Group equity/assets ratio should amount to at least 25 percent | As of 31 December 2020, the equity/assets ratio amounted to 41.9 percent. | ||
| The interest coverage ratio should be a multiple of at least 1.75 | As of 31 December 2020, the interest coverage ratio was a multiple of 2.6. | ||
| The loan-to-value ratio should amount to at most 70 percent relative to the market value of the Group's investment properties. |
As of 31 December 2020, the loan-to-value ratio was 46.7 percent. |


Innovation is essential to progress. In our sector, innovation means to avoid continuously rethinking everything. K-Fastigheter operates in a sector where properties are produced as prototypes – no property is identical to another. K-Fastigheter contributes innovation by constructing its proven concept buildings repetitively, while introducing continuous improvements suggested by our tenants and employees.
Acquisitions of existing residential properties complement our concept buildings. We seek to expand strongly into selected growth locations, through a combination of our own concept buildings and acquired properties in attractive locations. This may include apartments of a standard lower than we, or our tenants, find acceptable. We upgrade such apartments continuously in connection with tenant turnover to ensure that furnishings, fittings and technical installations maintain a standard similar to that offered in the properties we have developed in-house.
We apply the experiences of our tenants and production and property management staff to continuously develop our construction and property management operations, and improve cost efficiency and quality. K-Fastigheter has an experienced project development organization, which facilitates initial contacts with municipalities and other stakeholders. We are familiar with the applicable regulatory frameworks and take specific requirements for each project into account, which enables us to shorten lead times and streamline the construction process.
We aim to have local property management teams in all towns where we own properties. During the startup phase, we employ local property management personnel. It is clear that various types of partnerships help improve society. We work actively to develop our building rights to foster variation in architectural expression and types of title deeds. We also encourage business tenants in our properties, which ensures that residents and visitors are present in our buildings throughout the day.
The third cornerstone is our sustainability work. K-Fastigheter's proprietary concept buildings afford us control over all parts of the production process, from early project development to the property management of the completed building. Through the repeated production of conceptual housing solutions, material waste can be almost completely eliminated, benefiting both the environment and production finances. By using the same materials and products in new production projects and for K-Fast 2.0 renovations, we increase purchasing volumes and improve our scope for negotiation. Initiatives aimed at reducing the carbon footprint are underway throughout the construction industry.
K-Fastigheter's unlimited time frame implies that we are committed to continuously evaluating solutions from a life cycle perspective, including the choice of construction materials and methods. We seek to minimize energy and water consumption in our properties and to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. We expect corporate social responsibility to become increasingly important to K-Fastigheter and its stakeholders. We actively work to be present locally in our properties and to foster safe and secure homes and neighborhoods.
It is clear that our offering satisfies market demand for attractive homes at an affordable cost. K-Fastigheter's housing concept ensures cost control and financial efficiency throughout the chain, from building rights to property management, and over a building's lifespan. Since our foundation in 2010, we have created a property company with a strong position and commitment in several selected locations in Sweden and Denmark, mainly through our proprietary concept buildings. Our current property, construction and project portfolio encompasses close to 7,500 apartments.

Working with an unlimited time frame implies responsibility. K-Fastigheter is involved in the entire value chain, from establishment and initial contacts regarding land acquisition, through its proprietary standardized and industrial production and construction process, to long-term ownership and property management.
The business areas work across functions to ensure continous product development. By designing, building and procuring better, smarter, more cost-efficient and more sustainable buildings, we increase profitability and reduce lead times. The four business areas carry out regular reviews based on the joint process, and each business area provides feedback before a planning application is submitted.

countries, based on in-house resources or in collaboration with local partners.
used where technology adds value to our day-to-day efforts. Standardized methods and construction materials mean that potential faults can quickly be identified, addressed and prevented.
K-Fastigheter develops, acquires, constructs and manages rental housing in locations where long-term demand is strong. In 2020, we conducted operations in three business areas.
The Project Development business area identifies and acquires building rights for new construction projects and existing properties with potential to be upgraded. Operations include customer and needs analysis, collaboration with municipalities and land procurement. The goal is to create and realize value, today and in the future.
In 2020, our operations were characterized by high activity in a surrounding world that was negatively affected by Covid-19. The most pronounced effects included slower processing by local authorities, consultants and other collaboration partners. We handled the situation by working on multiple projects simultaneously and by utilizing our accumulated experience of largely repetitive projects .
K-Fastigheter's Project Development operations comprise expertise in identifying building rights suited to K-Fastigheter's concept on markets with long-term strong demand for rental apartments. The business area is also responsible for the work associated with submitting planning applications and maintaining contacts with various stakeholders, as well as reviewing the ideal location of buildings from a perspective of cost-efficiency and while maintaining respect for the existing natural features of the location. Through solid preliminary work, K-Fastigheter develops safe homes for its tenants, the opportunity to utilize various building rights and a financially efficient construction and development process. The Group has rationalized a high proportion of the initial
work by using concept buildings with a high degree of shared and standardized materials and processes. Each project is subject to specific conditions, and the business area has extensive experience of satisfying various legal requirements as well as residents' and society's expectations.
K-Fastigheter works purposefully with continuous product development based on valuable experience, as well as ongoing

Åsa Fredin Head of business area Project Development
"Project Development currently employs one architect, two project coordinators and myself. The project coordinators essentially work as project managers to assist internal and external architects with carrying out reviews, surveys and maintain contacts with consultants and local municipalities. There is solid work behind every planning permit granted. Because K-Fastigheter is expanding, we are currently recruting. We recently employed an additional architect who will further improve our excellent collaboration with external consultants."
feedback from tenants, managers and property managers on previously completed projects. K-Fastigheter considers it vital to maintain frequent contacts with tenants in order to increase awareness of expectations and requirements ahead of future projects. Accordingly, K-Fastigheter has an in-depth understanding of the materials and products that best meet our tenants' current and future requirements and needs, such as the most appropriate kitchen designs, or what surfaces are most sought after.
Resource and climate issues are central to housing development projects. Efficient land use and construction, alongside ambitious climate targets, are central requirements. The need to satisfy formal demands relating to legislation, municipal regulations and K-Fastigheter's internal sustainability framework, as well as more informal requirements from prospective tenants, has made it necessary to produce long-term sustainable solutions.
In recent years, K-Fastigheter has also increasingly focused on establishing efficient routines for planning permission applications and other permit processes. Efficient administrative processes help shorten project lead times in general. Historically, the time from acquisition of a building right to tenants moving in has been less than 24 months, which is quicker than the industry average in the company's assessment. However, the duration of the construction period is largely affected by the scope of the project in terms of the number of apartments and total floorspace.
K-Fastigheter's collaborations ensure successful letting of apartments at the planning stage. K-Fastigheter capitalizes on its experience from previous construction projects to improve future development.
The Construction business area is characterized by established construction methods with a high degree of prefabrication, repetitive processes and specialized tasks. To increase cost efficiency, shorten construction times and ensure long-term quality, K-Fastigheter has chosen to work with only three proprietary concept buildings: Low-Rise, Lateral Low-Rise and Apartment Blocks. K-Fastigheter's construction operations and property management are almost exclusively internal.
By concentrating on a select number of concept buildings that are constructed repeatedly, K-Fastigheter has accumulated extensive experience and know-how relating to the risks, bottlenecks and other potential efficiency pitfalls in the construction process, and is therefore able to take proactive steps to avoid these. This also entails a limited number of material categories, which generates economies of scale in purchasing, improves the handling process and minimizes waste.
K-Fastigheter strategically and continuously introduces improvements, on the basis of lessons learned from construction projects which are documented and evaluated by the Project Development and Construction business areas and used in the design of future construction projects.
K-Fastigheter's apartments have a consistently high standard and are equipped with modern appliances, such as integrated dishwashers, washing machines, dryers and built-in microwaves. Including washing machines and dryers in apartments raises the tenants' living standards and reduces the need for a shared laundry room, allowing more space in the building to be used for residential purposes. K-Fastigheter consistently selects materials based on the Group's experience of what tenants perceive as adding

Eric Johansson Head of Construction business area.
"Activity remained high in 2020, and towards the end of the year we had handed over more than 500 apartments to the Management business area, with a record 1,311 homes in production over 20 different projects.
In 2020, we recruited two project managers, one in Helsingborg and one in Hässleholm, to manage our geographical expansion and to handle the increased number of projects in Skåne, Småland and Denmark. We are in the process of establishing operations in the Mälardalen region, and have employed a Regional Director East who will manage new areas Nyköping and Gävle, as well as the region as a whole.
In 2020, we started operations in Denmark, where we are managing four different projects at various stages. Vallensbæk is our first in-house project where Finja Prefab has provided the frames. The acquisition of Finja Prefab means that we can participate in, influence and plan long-term, to maintain our planned high growth rate. This improves the product development process, both from a financial perspective and in terms of our long-term environmental work."
value and improving well-being, as well as what ensures longterm management improvements and cost efficiency. Many of the selected materials are exclusive and have a comparatively high purchasing cost, but a longer service life. Based on K-Fastigheter's long-term perspective, selecting sustainable materials is justified at all levels.
For the construction of concept buildings Apartment Block and Low-Rise, the business area relies exclusively on external subcontractors as this increases flexibility and enables parallel construction in multiple locations. For the construction of the concept building Lateral Low-Rise, business area employees are responsible for most of the work, including reinforcement, casting, frameworks and façades. These craftsmen also work on other concept buildings, which ensures a flexible production organization during periods with varying activity levels.
A large proportion of the structural elements included in K-Fastigheter's three concept buildings are manufactured in-house at the company's facilities. This includes manufacture of structural elements such as external wall units, balconies and concrete stairs. Prefabrication ensures better working conditions, superior costand quality control, and safeguards compatibility, production and just-in-time delivery for projects.
The acquisition of Finja Prefab AB was another important step in K-Fastigheter's growth. Finja Prefab AB is a nationwide producer of prefabricated concrete elements and complete frames. Finja Prefab was included in K-Fastigheter on 1 January 2021 and is reported as a separate business area from 2021 onwards.
The Property Management business area manages the properties developed or acquired by the Project Development business area, or built by the Construction business area. K-Fastigheter applies an unlimited time frame to all its operations, with property management a key element.
In 2020, business area operations were expanded to include the Copenhagen region as well as several locations in the Västra Götaland and Mälardalen regions. The number of projects has increased, and K-Fastigheter collaborates with estate agent Våningen & Villan on marketing and lettings in order to reach a broader group of potential tenants.
The Group also has the clear ambition of building long-term relationships with individual tenants. We identify tenants' wants and needs through close contact on local markets and in digital marketing campaigns, with the aim of minimizing the number of tenants moving out and other

disruptions. Financial management is handled almost exclusively with internal resources, while technical property management is partly outsourced to external providers. K-Fastigheter's administration focuses on achieving satisfied tenants who feel safe in their homes and neighborhoods, and on being accessible for support around the clock should unforeseen events occur. For this reason, K-Fastigheter focuses on local property management, with proprietary and external personnel.
In order to maintain a high level of service and accessibility, the Group has offices in Helsingborg, Landskrona and Kristianstad

Niklas Larsson Head of Property Management business area.
"The business area employs several professional categories such as property managers, caretakers, property technicians, letting agents and rent administrators. In total, the Management business area employs 25 staff who worked on 18 ongoing projects in 2020, a new record. This led us to strengthen the organization with an assistant property manager and more recruitments are planned in 2021."
in addition to its head office in Hässleholm. In other locations, K-Fastigheter engages external property managers until critical mass is reached. Because K-Fastigheter uses a high degree of standardization and works with a limited number of materials, every component of the property portfolio produced in-house is well documented, which ensures short lead times for repairs and high reliability in the properties. The business area has digitalized several of its processes and will work in a shared comprehensive business system from 2021 onwards.
K-Fastigheter's properties are managed expediently and efficiently, with personal service. The Group uses digital assistance where technology adds value. For example, K-Fastigheter's concept buildings use modern property automation services that enable tenants to regulate heating consumption, for example. To ensure progress and product development, K-Fastigheter obtains continuous feedback from tenants and other stakeholders, including sector peers. The information is passed on to the Project Development and Construction business areas, and contributes to identifying attractive building rights and avoiding mistakes, as well as continuously increasing the quality of apartments and adjacent areas. The collaboration contributes to effective and expedient management.
K-Fastigheter is a property owner and landlord founded on stable operations and satisfied customers. Each year, K-Fastigheter conducts a customer satisfaction survey that includes questions about interiors, public spaces and service levels. The results of the 2020 survey indicate that more than 85 percent of tenants are satisfied with K-Fastigheter as a landlord and would recommend moving into its properties.
K-Fastigheter's organization shall be characterized by clarity and transparency and support the Group's strategies and objectives. From 1 January 2021 onwards, operations are organized into four business areas: Project Development, Prefab, Construction and Property Management. Business Area Managers report to, and are part of, Group management. There are also Group-wide functions for Accounting and Finance, IT, Communications/IR/Marketing, and HR.
K-Fastigheter's strong growth represents an opportunity. As an employer we need to create employee engagement, and participation ensures commitment and clarifies our operational focus. Committed, motivated and competent employees benefit our customers.
K-Fastigheter's HR policy is based on our view that the results achieved by our employees are most important, not who they are or where they are from. The Group seeks to reflect the surrounding world in different ways, which strengthens the company and our staff.
In order for K-Fastigheter to be the obvious choice for our customers, employees and other stakeholders, we evaluate all processes whether relating to construction projects or administrative tasks, to ensure we always do a little better next time.
K-Fastigheter had 76 employees at the end of 2020. With the acquisition of Finja Prefab in January 2021, K-Fastigheter now has approximately 630 employees. A majority of these work in production, construction and management.
K-Fastigheter strives to maintain a safe working environment, from a physical, social and psychological perspective. "We are each

other's working environment." K-Fastigheter works to create a working environment where all employees feel safe and well. Staff that feel good do a great job and care for the Group's customers more effectively.
To be an attractive employer, K-Fastigheter works with individual development plans that encourage employees to develop their competencies. It is important to keep up-to-date with digital progress and K-Fastigheter needs to equip its staff to meet the demands placed on them by these developments and by the expectations of different stakeholders.
In 2020, we invited our employees to participate in a 40-day wellness initiative. Many reported noticeable results and the program strengthened our team spirit. This will be repeated regularly with a focus on improving Group-wide health and the working environment.
As a fast-growing organization, K-Fastigheter continually needs new employees, and to ensure its expansion through a strong corporate culture.
The Group's growth means that new staff that can contribute to our continued success needs to be recruited quickly. In 2019, we introduced a recruitment system, and in 2020 we created a database of nearly 1,000 prospective employees including previous applicants to the Group's units.
A great on-boarding program for new staff creates a foundation for a positive working environment, and engenders faster and better results. K-Fastigheter intends to continue to develop its current routines and processes. To ensure that K-Fastigheter broadens its selection and actively approaches a range of channels to secure leading competencies, we collaborate with multiple recruitment agencies.
K-Fastigheter's flexible one to three-story multi-family dwellings can be constructed either as semi-detached houses, terraced houses or link houses with one or two-story apartments. The apartments are available in four sizes: one bedroom, living room and kitchen totaling 60 square meters; two bedrooms, living room and kitchen totaling 75 square meters; three bedrooms, living room and kitchen totaling 90 square meters; and three bedrooms, living room and kitchen totaling 94 square meters on two stories.
In order to meet demand on its various markets, K-Fastigheter offers a choice of floor plans in connection with each construction project. The Low-Rise housing units are built using the same methods as for traditional single-family houses. However, the Low-Rise housing units can be built as link or terraced houses, or placed on top of one another to create two-story houses with access balconies. The Low-Rise housing units offer very high functional economy, where efficient project development entirely eliminates communal spaces.

K-Fastigheter's neighborhood-structure multi-family dwellings can be constructed up to ten stories in height. There are two standard space-efficient apartment formats within Lateral Low-Rise buildings: one bedroom, living room and kitchen totaling 49 square meters and two bedrooms, living room and kitchen totaling 59 square meters. It is also possible to include apartment alternatives that are either larger or smaller. To meet market demand and offer the best possible use of building rights, K-Fastigheter has chosen to make its Lateral Low-Rise as adaptable as possible with regard to floor plans and with opportunities for underground garages and commercial premises on the ground floor.
The design of the Lateral Low-Rise concept has focused sharply on achieving a substantial living space in relation to the façade area. In K-Fastigheter's assessment the Lateral Low-Rise concept has a significantly smaller façade area in relation to living space than the average for newly produced apartments in Sweden. In connection with construction, this is significant because a smaller façade entails lower consumption of materials and fewer working hours required to complete the project. In a long-term management perspective, a smaller façade area reduces maintenance costs and exposes a smaller area to cold, which reduces the building's total energy consumption.

Next to Kävlinge station, with approximately 10 minutes journey time to Lund central station, K-Fastigheter started construction of 65 Lateral Low-Rise apartments over a total of 3,921 square meters in December 2020. The expected rental value totals SEK 7.3 million and tenants are expected to move in during June 2022.

K-Fastigheter's apartment blocks are square-footprint multifamily dwellings which can be constructed with heights of four to ten stories. The Apartment Blocks have four apartments on each floor: two with one bedroom, living room and kitchen totaling 62 square meters and two with two bedrooms, living room and kitchen totaling 71 square meters. All apartments are equipped with spacious 27 square-meter balconies facing two directions. The Apartment Block is particularly suited for construction on difficult terrain, and multiple designs are available for the ground floor. On plots with uneven terrain, the ground floor can be constructed to include a semi-basement. The Apartment Blocks can also be extensively adapted to meet the different requirements set for different building rights regarding story height, any premises, internal or external refuse rooms and storage rooms for the apartments.
K-Fastigheter has continued to develop the Apartment Block concept on the basis of this experience, resulting in the concept Apartment Block Plus. Apartment Block Plus is a rectangular structure containing six apartments per story. Apartment Block Plus is a hybrid, which allows for more choice, and can be built as a freestanding apartment block, or as two buildings connected at the gables, which creates a structure similar to K-Fastigheter's Lateral Low-Rise housing units.
The Apartment Block is K-Fastigheter's concept building with the highest degree of prefabrication, where the structural elements already include complete electrical mains and drain vaults. The Apartment Block has also been designed specifically for costefficient long-term property management, including wall structures that provide access to all drain stacks from the staircase, which makes it possible to replace drain stacks without requiring tenants

Pelikanen 27 next to the Folkparken neighborhood in Växjö. In total, the project encompasses three phases with three Apartment Blocks of 3,495 square meters distributed over 54 apartments with a rental value of SEK 6.4 million.

The site is located adjacent to Östra Hospital, with good public transport links to central Gothenburg. Tenants are scheduled to move in during October 2022.
Construction includes an eight to ten-story Lateral Low-Rise building, totaling 12,257 square meters distributed over 192 apartments. Construction also includes 201 parking spaces. The estimated rental value is approximately SEK 28.4 million.

At Hässjan 1 and Högaffeln 1 at Elinegård in Malmö, adjacent to the ongoing construction project Höfånget 1 and close to amenities such as Hyllie station and Emporia shopping center, K-Fastigheter is constructing 62 Lateral Low-Rise apartments over a total of 3,822 square meters with a rental value of some SEK 8.5 million. Tenants are scheduled to move in during June 2022.

K-Fastigheter's upgrade program entails apartments being renovated as they become vacant. The program includes upgrading surfaces, kitchens, bathrooms, wiring and plumbing, and technical installations so that they meet the same standard that K-Fastigheter offers in its newly produced housing. K-Fast 2.0 has been very well received by our tenants. The quality improvements help raise standards in the older apartments in the property portfolio, and also help increase the service life of the Group's apartment portfolio.
Although K-Fastigheter has the capacity to renovate about eight apartments a month, due to the low relocation rate among tenants, K-Fastigheter is currently renovating an average of four apartments per month. It takes one month to complete the upgrade of an average apartment. Once renovated, homes are primarily offered to tenants already living in K-Fastigheter's apartments.
A key aspect of the implementation of K-Fast 2.0 is that renovation entails reasonable rent increases, so that existing tenants can afford to stay long term. This has been achievable because it has been possible to keep average renovation costs at approximately SEK 4,920 per square meter. Besides cutting operating costs, raising standards through K-Fast 2.0 brings annual rent increases of approximately SEK 323 per square meter, meaning that capital invested in K-Fast 2.0 generates an average direct return of about 6.6 percent.
The potential and need for upgrades are assessed when older properties are acquired. On 31 December 2020, the Group owned some 535 older apartments, which are gradually included in ongoing renovation. Of these, 84 apartments have been renovated in accordance with K-Fast 2.0.

Financing has not been secured for projects where construction has yet to commence, meaning that financing of construction investments in project development represents a source of uncertainty.

The table below presents the earnings ability of K-Fastigheter's property management operations on a 12-month basis as of 31 December 2020. Earnings ability is not a forecast for the current year or the next twelve months but is to be viewed solely as a theoretical snapshot and is presented for illustrative purposes only. Current earnings ability does not include an assessment of future rent trends, vacancy rates, property costs, interest rates, value changes, acquisitions or divestments of properties, or other factors.
Current earnings ability is based on properties held as of 31 December 2020 and their financing, meaning that current earnings ability illustrates the earnings of the management operations, on an annual basis, at that point in time. Transactions and completion of ongoing new construction projects with a transfer and completion date after 31 December 2020 have therefore not been included in the calculation.
The Income Statement for the management operations is also affected by developments of the value of the property portfolio, as well as by upcoming property acquisitions and/or divestments. Additional items affecting earnings include changes in the value of derivatives. None of the above has been taken into account in current earnings ability, nor in the item Profit from participations in associated companies.
Earnings ability is based on contract rental income from the property portfolio, estimated property costs on an annual basis based on historical outcomes for properties under management, as well as property costs and central administration costs relating to the Property Management business area estimated on an annual basis based on the current scale of administration. Costs for interest-bearing liabilities have been based on current interestbearing liabilities and current interest rates (including effects of derivative instruments) at the end of the year.

K-Fastigheter's assets consist primarily of apartments located in several larger towns in the Öresund Region and Western Sweden. The operations are characterized by long-term stable cash flows as the risk is spread over a large number of customers and relatively diversified geography. A high proportion of K-Fastigheter's apartments have been newly produced in the past ten years. On the whole, this means that K-Fastigheter's assets can be leveraged to a higher degree than for commercial properties, properties in smaller towns or properties in poorer condition.
K-Fastigheter's finance policy stipulates how financial activities are to be conducted and how operations are regulated and monitored on the basis of clearly defined targets and risk levels with respect to currency risk, interest-rate risk, financing risk, liquidity risk and credit risk (see Note 22 in the Directors' Report).
The finance policy serves to establish uniform guidelines and frameworks for the financial activities of the Group in connection with borrowing, debt management and liquidity management.
These guidelines form the basis for effective control and costefficient management of financial cash flows and risks, while achieving a favorable long-term trend in net financial items and a positive effect on the Group's earnings.
At an overarching level, the Group's financial risk is limited by means of a sound capital structure and a stable and positive cash flow, which, over time, secures the Group's short and long-term capital supply. To achieve a sound capital structure and a stable and positive cash flow, the Board of Directors has set the following financial targets:
| Total 31 Dec 2020 Financial targets Financial covenant | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Loan-to-value ratio, % | 46.7% | <70% | <70-75% |
| Equity/assets ratio | 41.9% | >25% | >25% |
| Interest coverage ratio | multiple of 2.6 > multiple of 1.75 > multiple of 1.50 |
These financial targets also correspond generally to the so-called financial covenants that the Group is obliged to monitor and report under existing loan agreements.
At the end of the financial year, K-Fastigheter financed its assets exclusively through bilateral loans with Nordic banks. Consolidated interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 3,848.4 million (2,644.3), of which SEK 847.8 million (363.1) were classified as current interest-bearing liabilities at year end. Interest-bearing liabilities are distributed between first mortgages for completed investment properties of SEK 3,145.1 million (2,331.9), construction credits of SEK 681.2 million (303.2), leasing liabilities of SEK 22.2 million (9.2) and operating credits of SEK 0.0 million (0.0). The loan-to-value ratio for the Group's completed investment properties amounted to 46.7 percent (40.2).
At the end of the year, the Group had contracted credit agreements of SEK 4,820.6 million (3,239.7), of which SEK 3,145.1 million (2,331.9) related to the financing of completed investment properties, of which SEK 781.1 million (322.0) mature for renegotiation within the next 12 months. Beyond the financing of completed investment properties, contracted credit agreements comprise building credits of SEK 1,585.5 million (817.8) and overdraft facilities and covered loans of SEK 90.0 million (90.0). At the end of the year, construction credits, and overdraft facilities and covered loans had been utilized in the amount of SEK 681.2 million (303.2) and SEK 0.0 million (0.0) respectively. On 31 December 2020, the Group's total contracted and unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 90.0 million (90.0), excluding construction credits.

As of 31 December 2020, the average credit term for the Group's interest-bearing liabilities, relating to completed investment properties and operational premises was 2.6 years (3.2).
K-Fastigheter currently works exclusively with variable interest rate loans. Interest rate derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, are used to adjust the period of fixed interest. Nominally, the swap portfolio totaled SEK 1,907.0 million (1,207.0) at the end of the year. The average interest period for the Group's interest-bearing liabilities related to investment and business properties was 3.8 years (3.3), and the average interest rate was 1.77 percent (1.90), including the effects of interest rate derivatives, and 1.41 percent (1.62) excluding the effects of interest rate derivatives. The total proportion of variable interest rates in relation to interest bearing liabilities related to investment and business properties was 39 percent (48) and the interest rate sensitivity in the event of a 1 percentage point shift in loan rates amounted to SEK 12.4 million (11.2).
K-Fastigheter's financing as of 31 December 2020 was exclusively comprised of borrowing from Nordic banks. Prior to the submission of this Annual Report, due to the Covid-19 pandemic K-Fastigheter has continuously gathered information from its banks to confirm the positions adopted as of 31 December 2020. The Group considers that there is continued strong support from its partner banks and assesses that capital supply remains good.
Investment properties are reported at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the change in value is reported in the Consolidated Income Statement.
All investment properties have been assessed as level 3 in the value
hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The fair value of the properties is based on external and internal valuations by means of a combination of the yield capitalization and location price methods. Properties under construction and project properties are valued at cost with additions/deductions for expected unrealized changes in value, calculated as the estimated fair value less the estimated cost, where 20 percent

of the assessed change in value is recognized when the building permit has gained legal force and a general contract has been signed, while the remaining 80 percent is recognized successively during construction in relation to the costs incurred. The fair value is the estimated amount that would be received in a single transaction at the time of valuation between knowledgeable parties who are independent of each other and who have an interest in implementing the transaction following the usual marketing measures, where both parties are presumed to have acted with insight and wisdom, and without coercion.
As of 31 December 2020, 85 percent, equivalent to 71 percent of the market value of completed investment properties, of the Group's completed properties have been valued by the external independent assessor, Newsec Advise AB, in accordance with the recommendations of RICS and IVSC, to determine a market value in accordance with the internationally accepted definition produced by these organizations. In all instances, the internally valued properties are located in markets where K-Fast Holding AB has been active for several years and where comparable market data could be obtained from external valuations, from Newsec Advise AB and from transactions implemented. The difference in value between internally performed valuations and external valuation was less than a half percent of the total value of all completed properties. In all instances, the basis for the valuation consists of data regarding the condition of the property, leases, fixed operating costs, vacancies and planned investments, as well as an analysis of existing tenants. An assessment is made of the location, rent trend, vacancy rates and direct return requirements for relevant markets, and normalized operation and maintenance costs are taken into account. Data on the properties' land area, detailed development plans for undeveloped land and development properties is collected from public sources.
The value of property stocks is updated quarterly, when existing values are updated with current rents, vacancies and market data from the external independent valuer, Newsec Advise AB, in the form of direct return levels and operating and maintenance costs.
The properties are inspected on an ongoing basis. All properties have been inspected within the past three years. The purpose is to assess the standard and condition of the properties, and the attractiveness of commercial premises.
When using the return method, each property is valued individually by calculating the present value of anticipated future cash flows, that is, future rent payments less estimated operating and maintenance payments, as well as the residual value in year ten or fifteen depending on whether it is an older property or a newbuild property. Estimated rent payments, as well as operating and maintenance payments are derived from actual income and costs. Cash flow is market-adjusted by taking into account any changes in the letting ratio and letting levels, operating and maintenance payments, as well as market-based levels of the cost of capital and direct return requirements. All cash flow calculations are based on a long term rate of inflation of 2 percent (the Riksbank's inflation target). During the year, short-term inflation was reduced to between 1.0 and 1.5 percent to correspond to actual market expectations.
Future rent levels are based on current levels and potential rent increases associated with investments and inflation. Rent levels for commercial contracts are estimated based on the current rent level including indexation, which means that rent levels shadow inflation forecasts. Vacancies are assessed for each property based on the
current vacancy status with a gradual adaptation to market-based vacancies and individual conditions.
The assessment of disbursements for normal operations, maintenance and repairs, property tax, ground rent and property administration, has been made on the basis of actual outcomes for the relevant property or for a property of a similar design, and on the basis of Newsec Advise AB's statistics and experience of comparable objects. The assessment includes the properties' purpose, age and maintenance status. Disbursements for operations, administration and maintenance are expected to increase in line with the assumed rate of inflation.

The property's investment needs are assessed on the basis of maintenance plans, the condition of the property and planned or current projects.

The properties' direct return requirement has been assessed on the basis of each property's unique risk, which can be broken down into two parts – general market risk and specific property risk. The market risk is linked to general economic trends and is influenced by factors such as investor prioritizing between different asset

classes and financing opportunities. The specific property risk is influenced by the location of the property, the type of property, the standard of the premises, the quality of the installations, the type of tenants and the nature of the contract.
The cost of capital corresponds to the interest rate that the owner of the property is required to pay on capital tied to the property. The interest rate requirement is based on experiential assessments of the market's interest rate requirements for similar properties,

which is, in practice, derived by inflation-adjusting the estimated direct return requirement.
For completed investment properties, the return requirement on valuation units varies from 3.52 percent to 6.75 percent, with a total weighted average of 4.08 percent (4.25) and, for project properties valued in advance, from 3.54 percent to 4.60 percent, with a weighted average of 3.96 percent (4.02). The return requirement varies mainly due to the distribution between types of premises (housing/commercial) and geographical considerations. For completed investment properties, the average cost of capital applied for the period was 6.07 percent (6.28) and, for project properties valued in advance, 5.97 percent (6.08).
The residual value comprises the operating surplus during the remaining economic lifespan, which is based on the year following the last year calculated. Residual value is calculated for each property through perpetual capitalization of the estimated market operating surplus and the estimated market operating direct return requirement for each property. The return requirement comprises the risk-free interest rate and each property's unique risk. The cost of capital/discount rate is used to discount the residual value of the properties to their present value.
The location price method is based on market analyses of conveyances of properties that are considered comparable. The method applies prices paid for similar properties on a free and open market. The comparison should take into account the value change between the transfer date for the property and the date of valuation. The location price method is used primarily to support the yield capitalization method.
K-Fastigheter and BoKlok have agreed to build 1,000 new apartments together over the coming three year period. The goal is to enable more people to create homes at a reasonable cost. Two leading construction and property companies are behind the initiative, with the shared aim of building safe and high-quality homes for people with average finances.
In spring 2020, K-Fastigheter and BoKlok signed a strategic collaboration with the aim of building up to 1,000 apartments together by the end of 2023. The apartments, with highquality floor plans and materials, will be located in attractive neighborhoods in growth regions. The companies' concept building methods ensure that rents and charges are kept at reasonable levels, which means that many people will be able to choose to move into these apartments.

When the founders of BoKlok started the construction of their first apartment block, the company focused on low-income single families with children, young people moving into their first
home and older people seeking accommodation that was comfortable and easy to care for. Terraced housing was added at a later stage, which was appreciated by families at different stages in life.
The companies share a concept-based approach to construction, which optimizes cost efficiency. The collaboration involves project development, building rights transactions and construction. Because K-Fastigheter constructs rental apartments and BoKlok tenant-owner apartments, the companies collaborate to create
neighborhoods that include different types of title deeds, which makes neighborhoods more popular and sustainable.
Both companies have significant expertise in terms of what factors turn apartments into homes that people can enjoy for a long time to come. Choosing your home is often about increasing your quality of life. Attractive housing areas are not just pleasant for residents and visitors, but are a necessity for creating thriving cities.
Key factors when choosing housing include the quality of the property, where a great floor plan needs to harmonize with beautiful and sustainable materials. The surrounding area needs to provide many functions and meeting places, be safe and preferably offer good services, as well as green spaces and water, and proximity to good transport links. The social safety of the area is created by the property and neighborhood.

Sustainability is a broad concept that generally relates to making a sustainable lifestyle the obvious choice from a time- and cost perspective, and with regard to energy, traffic and waste management. Both K-Fastigheter and BoKlok have focused on reducing the impact of their operations on the environment and climate from the outset.
In the early part of the year, the partners completed transactions in several locations around Sweden.




K-Fastigheter holds 50 percent of the shares and votes in Novum Samhällsfastigheter AB, with Novum Fastigheter AB holding the remaining shares. The company develops and manages premises for publicly funded operations. These include retirement homes, residential care homes, schools, preschools and other specialized properties. The operations housed in the premises are run by municipalities, regions, county councils, the central government or private operators. The projects are usually based on early needs analyses drawn up together with tenants based on the operations' future needs for premises.

Together with Balder and One Partner Group, K-Fastigheter has an equal holding in the company HOMEstate AB, which commenced operations in 2019. HOMEstate's ambition is to offer solutions in the long-stay segment, which entails leasing furnished apartments to companies as a homely and affordable alternative to long-term hotel stays.

Through the subsidiary Jägersro Företagscentrum AB, the company conducts project development and is developing an industrial property in the Jägersro industrial estate in Malmö. Two buildings of a total 3,456 square meters, with 32 commercial premises, will be constructed on the property. On completion, the title on the premises in these buildings will be transferred to several companies with various operations. All righs have been sold and tenants moved in during March 2021. K-Fastigheter holds 31 percent of the shares in the company.

On most of K-Fastigheter's local markets, the population has grown by more than 10 percent annually since 2010, a higher growth rate than for Sweden as a whole.
Several factors, both global and domestic, influence developments on the Swedish property market. These are based on mega-trends, defined as groundbreaking changes that affect our society and future. Three mega-trends were particularly evident in 2020.
The population of Sweden is growing rapidly – in particular, the number of older and younger people is rising sharply. At the same time, the proportion of people of working age is decreasing, resulting in fewer people providing for a growing number of people in the future. The Öresund Region is one of the fastest-growing regions, and the area is significantly affected by the demographic changes. It is mainly younger and highly educated people that move to access larger labor markets and more options in their life choices. The sharp increase in urbanization places considerable demands on urban infrastructure, the education sector, services, housing and workplaces. Demand for attractive housing in good locations increases as more people seek to live in towns and cities. At the same time, sufficient housing that is adapted to the needs of both the older and younger generations is needed.
This section is primarily based on a Newsec report produced on assignment by K-Fastigheter. Other information has mainly been obtained from Statistics Sweden, Labor Force Surveys (LFS), the Riksbank (Swedish central bank), Svensk Mäklarstatistik (Swedish statistics service for property agents), the Swedish Public Employment Service, the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, Finance Denmark and Statbank.
Digital technology is changing people's behavior, business models, communications and access to information. Our working methods are also changing as new technologies become available and new generations join the labor market, technology evolves and the need for networks and collaborative processes increases. During 2020, the pandemic sped up the introduction of alternative working methods and digital solutions. Many of those who have been working from home for most of the year will probably continue to do so in future, which influences the design of future housing and workspaces.
In recent decades, increasing attention has been paid to the issues of climate change, environmental destruction, reduced biodiversity and over-utilization of natural resources. As for other mega-trends, the challenges are global, although the effects can be very different at local level. This places higher demands on planning in towns and cities around Sweden in terms of infrastructure and property development. Efficient property management and well-considered urban planning can minimize the impact on the environment and living standards. Circular concepts – ranging from recycling to reuse and sharing services – are becoming increasingly well-

established and self-evident. This is described as the circular economy. Saving resources and reducing emissions is a priority.
The spread of Covid-19 significantly impacted the global economy in the year. Lockdowns, strict restrictions and increased uncertainty relating to future trends affected the global economy significantly, even if many large economies started to recover during the second half of 2020.
The effect on the Swedish economy was relatively mild from a global perspective. After a sharp initial downturn at the start of the Covid-19 outbreak, the economy recovered more than forecast in the second half of the year, and the preliminary figure for the decrease in Sweden's GDP is 3.4 percent for the full year 2020. Unemployment increased in Sweden during the year, which affected consumption and also slowed the rate of inflation, which is low. Low inflation is keeping interest rates down, and at its latest meeting in December, the Swedish Central Bank decided to keep interest rates at 0.0 percent, and indicated that interest rates will remain unchanged looking ahead.

Despite the weaker economy, the Swedish property market remained very strong in 2020. Low bond yields, including on Swedish government bonds, coupled with a low interest rate climate and large volumes of capital looking for returns, mean that allocation to the property sector remained strong.
Transaction volumes were SEK 189 Bn in the full year 2020, the third strongest property market to date. International investors remained active on the Swedish property market and international capital accounted for 25 percent of total transaction volumes in the year.
Increased uncertainty implied growing demand for established asset classes such as rental housing, which generates stable cash

flows at low risk, and face favorable market prospects for continued growth. This means that the housing segment attracted most investment in the year, corresponding to more than one third of all invested capital.
Demand and trends on the housing market are driven by factors such as population and income growth, as well as other macroeconomic factors like employment, real wage growth and interest rates. Other key factors that influence the housing market include housing supply, work and study opportunities, and access to good social infrastructure. This means that regional growth is a prerequisite for economic development.
Sweden's population has increased sharply in recent years and is
expected to continue to grow in future. Since the year 2000, the Swedish population has increased by approximately 1.5 million, or approximately 17 percent. During 2020, the population increased by some 0.8 percent, the lowest population growth since 2005. The low population growth was due to sharply declining immigration and lower net births as a result of Covid-19.
K-Fastigheter's markets in Skåne, Malmö, Helsingborg and Landskrona are all part of one of Sweden's largest and fastest growing regions, the Malmö-Lund labor market region. Kristianstad and Hässleholm are part of the Kristianstad labor market region, which also projects long-term favorable growth. K-Fastigheter's operations in southern Småland is concentrated on Växjö and Älmhult, both strong growth municipalities. K-Fastigheter's third market region comprises Gothenburg and surrounding municipalities, including Borås, which together constitute one of the largest labor market regions in Sweden.

K-Fastigheter also has properties in Västerås, located in the expanding Mälardalen region. In addition, K-Fastigheter has holdings in the Copenhagen region in Sjælland, Denmark, part of the strongly expanding Öresund region.
The Gothenburg, Helsingborg-Landskrona, Malmö-Lund, Växjö and Mälardalen regions are local labor markets of the size that reports the highest long-term growth rate in Sweden. Gothenburg and Malmö-Lund are two of the country's three metropolitan regions, while Kristianstad and Växjö belong to the second-largest regional group. Älmhult constitutes its own local labor market region (comprising the municipalities of Älmhult and Osby) with approximately 30,000 inhabitants in total, although it has reported favorable growth in recent years despite its limited size. Accordingly, the various local markets are well-positioned from a growth perspective.
On most of K-Fastigheter's local markets, the population has grown by more than 10 percent annually since 2010, more than Sweden as a whole. Only Hässleholm and Kristianstad returned lower growth compared to the national average in the period. All municipalities enjoy favorable growth prospects, and benefit from their proximity to the Öresund region and other larger regional labor markets. This is evident in this year's population growth statistics, where all K-Fastigheter's markets, with the exception of Hässleholm, returned higher growth than Sweden as a whole.
The Corona pandemic has significantly affected the labor market according to Statistics Sweden's labor market surveys. Unemployment in Sweden was 8.5 percent at the end of December 2020, an increase of 1.5 percentage points annually. However, financial stimulus packages and other measures mitigated the
effects of the crisis, and the effect on the labor market was less pronounced than forecast.
There are significant regional differences, and unemployment varies between regions. Unemployment increased on all K-Fastigheter's markets, as well as nationwide. Unemployment increased more in metropolitan areas, while the percentage increase was below the average for Sweden as a whole in most of K-Fastigheter's other regions. Älmhult noted the lowest increase in unemployment, only 0.3 percentage points.
Disposable household income is the sum of a household's various incomes after taxes and charges, and measures a household's total purchasing power. Household disposal income has been particularly strong over the past 20 years, on a par with Sweden's record years in the 1950s and 1960s. During 2020, average household income in Sweden fell, driven by the corona pandemic. Among the towns and cities where K-Fastigheter operates, Växjö stands out with a decrease in disposable income of some 13 percent. However, the trend was a positive 16 percent for Växjö in the previous year, which means that progress was positive over a twoyear period. The trend was also negative in Malmö, Kristianstad, Älmhult, Västerås and Borås, while other regions shadowed the national positive trend in the year.
Disposable income and employment have a strong impact on households' willingness to pay for consumption and housing. High employment and strong disposable income generally increases household willingness to pay for housing. Lower disposable income and higher unemployment can increase demand for rental apartments, as it restricts the ability for individuals to obtain financing for owner-occupier apartments and single-family houses.

The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's housing survey for 2020* shows that 212 of 290 municipalities in Sweden reported a housing deficit in 2020. Smaller municipalities reported a housing market in balance, while municipalities in metropolitan areas like Greater Gothenburg and Greater Malmö are still reporting deficits. 90 percent of the total population lives
in municipalities where there is a housing deficit, which means that most of Sweden's population is experiencing a significant housing shortage.
Despite the high rate of construction, rental apartments are still the housing type with the greatest reported deficit. According to the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, there is demand for some 600,000 new homes in Sweden over the coming ten-year

period. This is in order to meet housing demand generated by Sweden's strong population growth and to cover the accumulated housing deficit. This can be compared with the most recent tenyear period, when new production in Sweden totaled approximately 400,000 homes. In total, 63 percent of municipalities included in the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's survey expect the housing deficit to continue over the coming three-year period.
The annual housing need in Sweden is highest in Skåne, Gothenburg and the Stockholm region. In general, the housing need is greater in southern Sweden than in the northern parts of the country, which means that there is also high demand for housing in K-Fastigheter's other growth locations.
Housing construction has been spared the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, and construction has exceeded the expectations presented before the outbreak of the pandemic. Favorable demographic trends, a low interest rate climate and high housing demand, coupled with favorable future prospects and price growth in tenant-owner apartments and rental apartments, resulted in increased project development in Sweden where the favorable growth prospects have led to a rapid increase in housing construction. Figures suggest that approximately 53,000 housing units were completed in Sweden in 2020, with 54,000 construction starts, according to preliminary information from the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning. In K-Fastigheter's markets, municipalities are reporting a good rate of construction both in terms of housing starts and completed units in the period until the end of the third quarter 2020, although the challenging situation is expected to continue.

* Please note that municipalities completed the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's housing survey at the end of 2019 and early 2020, before the outbreak of Covid-19. It is highly probable that the pandemic will affect the housing market, both in terms of housing starts and hosing supply.

The structure of K-Fastigheter's local housing markets varies in terms of housing type and title deeds. In Malmö and Gothenburg, alongside Helsingborg, Landskrona, Växjö and Borås, rental apartments hold a dominant position.
The largest proportion of tenant-owner apartments is found in the largest municipalities; Gothenburg, Västerås, Malmö and Helsingborg. In Malmö, tenant-owner apartments constitute 39 percent of the entire housing supply, which is the region's largest proportion of tenant-owner apartments. Hässleholm and Älmhult have the largest share of single-family houses while Malmö has the lowest. In Malmö, single-family houses constitute only 14 percent of the housing stock. Demand for rental apartments is estimated to be substantial on all partial markets.
On the rental market, rents are not determined by supply and demand like on the markets for tenant-owner apartments and single-family homes. In Sweden, the rental market is regulated
| Municipality | Rental apartments |
Tenant-owner apartments |
Property rights/ single-family houses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gothenburg | 54% | 29% | 17% |
| Landskrona | 51% | 19% | 30% |
| Helsingborg | 48% | 27% | 26% |
| Växjö | 47% | 17% | 35% |

| Kristianstad | 40% | 12% | 48% |
| Västerås | 38% | 31% | 31% |
| Älmhult | 35% | 8% | 57% |
| Hässleholm | 33% | 11% | 56% |

through the utility value system, meaning that rent levels are not freely determined. In practice, rent levels are instead determined by production costs and return requirements deemed acceptable by the developer and the Swedish Tenants' Union. Normally, this results in rent levels for new production that means that an individual still need to queue for a significant amount of time before being able to secure a new rental apartment.
Rent levels for new construction continued to rise rapidly in 2020, and rent levels for newly-produced rental apartments are now generally 50 percent higher than rent for apartments of the same size in the older stocks. This is noticeable in urban areas where rent levels for new production have, in some cases, reached the limit for what tenants are willing to pay, which results in more tenants moving out and temporary vacancies for new production housing.
Rents also increased in the older holding in 2020. Several major property owners carry out tax-deductible (ROT) renovations continuously, which creates more opportunities for significant
rent increases after renovation, and drives rent levels in the older holding. On average, rent for housing in Sweden increased by 1.9 percent in 2020, in line with the corresponding rental increase for 2019.
Official data on rent levels and queue times for mediated new construction is reported for many of the municipalities where K-Fastigheter operates. Malmö and Helsingborg reported standard rents for new construction of mediated rental housing of approximately SEK 1,700/m2 /year, while Statistics Sweden reports annual rent per square meter in newly constructed apartment buildings in the Greater Malmö region of SEK 1,850 / m2 /year. In Malmö, this rent level means that average queue times are still long, while queue times at this level in Helsingborg are slightly shorter. In Kristianstad and Hässleholm, the rent level for mediated new construction was somewhat above SEK 1,500 /m2 / year. In general, the prospects for continued growth are considered good in all K-Fastigheter's regions, with high demand and potential for rent increases, and low vacancy risk.

"Now that we have completed our first year as a listed company, I can conclude that the high activity level continued after the IPO in November 2019."
Erik Selin, Chairman of the Board of K-Fast Holding AB

Chairman of the Board, Erik Selin
It is only ten years ago that Jacob Karlsson started what is now K-Fast Holding AB ("K-Fastigheter"). Then and now, the business concept is to develop, build and manage homes with an unlimited time frame. We are celebrating this by continuing to build a strong and successful company that is prepared for continued growth.
On the day of K-Fastigheter's 10th anniversary, 1 December 2020, the company signed its largest agreement to date: the acquisition of Finja Prefab, a manufacturer of prefabricated concrete elements. The transaction included the company's production plants and building rights in central Hässleholm. The acquisition of Finja Prefab provides K-Fastigheter with long-term prospects of implementing its expansion plans in southern and western Sweden, and the Mälardalen region and Sjælland. Finja Prefab is a wellrun company with many competent and committed employees.
I am convinced that this will be a transaction where both parties improve each other's respective market positions.
Now that we have completed our first year as a listed company, I can conclude that the high activity level continued after the IPO in November 2019. K-Fastigheter's operations have progressed well, more than 30 major transactions were completed and there were 1,311 apartments in ongoing production at year-end compared to 700 on 1 January 2020. The pace is high and we plan to achieve a new level for the Group as a whole.
From an owner and Board perspective, I can conclude that the preparations ahead of the IPO on Nasdaq Stockholm has enabled the company to implement the business plan and generate value for its stakeholders. Following a strong start to 2020 with high activity, the Board perceived a good opportunity to increase K-Fastigheter's readiness to finance attractive building rights. This meant that in August 2020, the company completed a new share issue of 2,000,000 Class B shares. The strong interest from several Swedish and institutional investors was pleasing, and many new shareholders demonstrated their confidence in the company. All of us shareholders have been delighted with share price performance in 2020, up by 65.6 percent.
When concluding that K-Fastigheter had successfully increased the rate of construction, we reassessed our operational goal for annual new construction starts for apartments. From 2021 onwards, we have increased the goal, which means that new construction starts
for apartments for proprietary management shall amount to 1,300 before the end of 2023, an increase from the previous goal of 1 000.
Fundamentally, K-Fastigheter is a property company with the business concept of owning and managing the market's most attractive rental apartments. The construction and property sectors have a significant environmental impact and we have a responsibility to build good housing with a minimal climate footprint.
I see a clear correlation between sustainability and profitable business, while simultaneously contributing to reducing climate impact and assuming financial and social responsibility. During 2020, management developed a framework for its sustainability work. This is based on K-Fastigheter's business concept with an unlimited time frame and includes clear targets, which are presented in this Annual Report and are followed up and developed on a continuous basis.
K-Fastigheter has signed Global Compact, the UN's principles for business, governing human rights, working environment, anticorruption and the environment.
Alongside the rest of the Board and management, I am proud to continue on the journey we started in 2010 and which had clearly defined targets from the outset. With the new goals of sustainable and profitable business we are ready for what is around the corner. I would like to thank all my colleagues at K-Fastigheter for their hard and committed work, and look forward to welcoming Finja Prefab's staff into the family.

Each year, the Chairman of the Board shall contact the three largest shareholders in terms of voting rights, including known shareholder groupings, who each have the right to appoint one member.

From among its number, the Nomination Committee appoints a chairman of the Committee. The Chairman of the Board shall not be the chairman of the Nomination Committee. If a member leaves the Nomination Committee before the work of the Committee has been completed, and the Nomination Committee considers there to be a need to replace this member, the replacement shall be appointed by the same shareholder loans who appointed the
member who stepped down or, if the shareholder is no longer among the three largest shareholders in terms of voting rights, by a shareholder belonging to that group and that has not appointed a member of the Nomination Committee. If a shareholder having appointed a certain member substantially reduces its holding in the company, and the Nomination Committee considers it inappropriate in view of any need for continuity before the upcoming General Meeting, a member appointed by that shareholder shall step down from the Nomination Committee and the Nomination Committee shall offer the largest shareholder not having appointed a member of the Nomination Committee the opportunity to appoint a new member. The majority of the members of the Nomination Committee shall be independent in relation to the company and Group management. Neither the CEO nor any other member of Group management should be a member of the Nomination Committee. At least one of the members of the Nomination Committee shall be independent in relation to K-Fast Holding AB's largest shareholder in terms of voting rights or group of shareholders who collaborate regarding the management of the company.

The Board has appointed an Audit Committee consisting of three members: Ulf Johansson, Sara Mindus and Erik Selin. Erik Selin is the Chairman of the Board and Sara Mindus is the Deputy Chairman of the Committee.
The Audit Committee shall, without this affecting the Board's responsibilities and tasks in other regards, including the monitoring of the company's financial reporting, monitor the efficiency of the company's internal control, internal audit (if such a function is established in the future) and risk management, keep itself informed regarding the audit of the Annual Report and consolidated accounts and on the conclusions of the Swedish Inspectorate of Auditors' quality control. The Committee shall also review and monitor the auditor's impartiality and independence, paying particular attention to whether the auditor provides the company with other services than auditing.
The Board has appointed a Remuneration Committee consisting of three members: Ulf Johansson, Sara Mindus and Erik Selin. Erik Selin is the Chairman of the Committee.
The principal tasks of the Remuneration Committee are to prepare Board decisions relating to remuneration principles, remuneration and other employment terms for Board members, the CEO and Group management, and to follow and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for management, and to follow and evaluate the application of remuneration guidelines for senior executives adopted by the AGM, as well as applicable remuneration structures and remuneration levels.
The Board's Rules of Procedure state, among other things, that the Chairman of the Board shall ensure that the work of the Board is carried out efficiently and that the Board fulfills its obligations. This includes organizing and leading the work of the Board and fostering the best possible conditions for that work. In addition, the CEO shall ensure that Board members continuously update and deepen their knowledge of the company and that new members receive appropriate introduction and training. The Chairman of the Board shall be available as an adviser and discussion partner for the CEO, but shall also evaluate the work of the CEO and report on this assessment to the Board.

At the AGM on 19 May 2020, Erik Selin was elected Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board does not participate in the operational management of the company.
Since the AGM on 19 May 2020 and until 31 December 2020, the Board held 10 meetings where minutes were kept. The company's CEO and/or Deputy CEO and CFO should, as a general rule, attend Board meetings in a reporting role.

Measures that, in view of the scope and nature of the company's operations, are unusual or of great importance, fall beyond the ongoing management and should therefore, as a general rule, be prepared and presented to the Board for decision. The CEO shall also take the actions necessary for the company's bookkeeping to be performed in accordance with legislation and for assets to be managed satisfactorily.
In relation to the Board, the CEO is a subordinate corporate body, and the Board itself can also determine matters included in ongoing management. The work and role of the CEO and the division of work between the Board and the CEO is set out in written Instructions to the CEO from the Board and the Board continuously evaluates the work of the CEO.
Board members or the CEO shall not address matters relating to contracts between themselves and the company or the Group. Nor is such individual permitted to address matters relating to contracts between the company and third parties, where a significant conflict of interest could arise for such individual in relation to the company. Contracts as outlined above correspond to court proceedings or other litigation process. It is the responsibility of Board members and the CEO, where applicable, to provide information in the event that a conflict of interest arises.

The Board proposes, and the AGM approves, guidelines for determining remuneration to Board members and employment terms for the CEO and other senior executives. In these guidelines, "senior executives" refers to the CEO and other members of Group management.

The guidelines shall be presented to the AGM for a decision at least every four years.
According to the guidelines, salaries and other terms of employment shall be market-based and competitive, but not wage leading in comparison to comparable companies.
Compensation to the CEO is paid only in the form of fixed basic salary. Remuneration to other members of Group management is paid primarily in the form of fixed base salary, but can also be paid as variable salary or performance-based compensation corresponding to a maximum 50 percent of the fixed salary per calendar year.

Define-benefit pension plans follow the so-called ITP plan, with fees being paid to third-party providers.

The Board's responsibility for internal control is regulated by the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act – which includes a requirement to provide information on the most important elements of K-Fastigheter's system for internal control and risk management in conjunction with the financial reporting to be included each year in the Corporate Governance Report – as well as by the Code. The Board shall safeguard that K-Fastigheter has good internal control and formalized procedures ensuring compliance with established principles for financial reporting and internal control and that appropriate systems are in place for the assessment and control of K-Fastigheter's operations and the risks with which the company and its operations are associated.
The overall purpose of internal control is to ensure, to a reasonable extent, that K-Fastigheter's operational strategies and objectives are followed up and that the owners' investment is protected. The internal control should also ensure that the external financial reporting is, with reasonable certainty, reliable and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, compliance with applicable laws and regulations and compliance with the demands made on listed companies. The control environment constitutes the basis for internal control, which also includes risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, as well as follow-up.
The Board bears the overall responsibility for internal control regarding financial reporting. To create and maintain a functioning control environment, the Board has adopted a number of policies and governance documents regulating financial reporting. These consist primarily of the Board's Rules of Procedure, instructions for the CEO, instructions for the committees established by the Board and instructions for financial reporting.
The Board has also adopted a specific authorization structure and a Finance Policy. K-Fastigheter also maintains a finance manual containing principles, guidelines and procedural outlines for accounting and financial reporting. The Board has also established an Audit Committee tasked primarily with overseeing the company's financial reporting, monitoring the efficacy of K-Fastigheter's internal control, internal audit (if such a function has been established) and risk management, as well as with reviewing and monitoring the auditor's impartiality and independence.
The responsibility for the day-to-day work of maintaining the control environment rests primarily with K-Fastigheter's Deputy CEO and CFO, who reports to the Board via the CEO on an ongoing basis and in accordance with established instructions. The Group's finance department plays an important role with regard to reliable financial information. It is responsible for complete, accurate and timely financial reporting. The CFO reports to the company's Deputy CEO and CFO who, in turn, reports to the CEO and the Board.
In addition to internal review and reporting, K-Fastigheter's external auditors are required to report to the CEO and Board during the financial year. The auditors' reports provide the Board with a good comprehension of, and reliable data regarding, the financial reporting in the Annual Report.
The efficacy of internal auditing is largely dependent on the company's organizational structure and the size of the organization. K-Fastigheter has a relatively small organization, the administration of which is managed from the company's offices in Hässleholm. Group management reviews Income Statements and
Balance Sheets continuously. Combined, this means that maintaining a specific internal audit unit is not considered to be justified.
The risk assessment includes identifying and evaluating the risk of material errors in K-Fastigheter's business processes, which include accounting and reporting at the Group and subsidiary levels. Risk assessment is performed on an ongoing basis and in accordance with established guidelines, focusing on the company's essential business processes. Within the Board, the Audit Committee is primarily responsible for the continuous assessment of the company's risk situation, after which the Board conducts an annual review of the risk situation.
Control activities are aimed at identifying and limiting risks. The Board is responsible for internal control and the review by Group management. This involves both internal and external control activities, as well an analytical review of the company's policies and governance documents. Control activities are reviewed and documented at the process and role levels by means of a web application developed by the company, referred to as ICT (Internal Control Tools). ICT ensures that, in their specific roles,
K-Fastigheter's employees have access to relevant information (and knowledge) at the right time to be able to conduct the stipulated control activities, and that assessment can be conducted systematically to ensure that the control system is maintained. The Group-wide guidelines for internal control are reviewed within all business areas and central units during the year, partly through an ongoing review of essential processes, partly through ICT for internal control, after which a report is presented to the Board.
Uniform accounting and reporting instructions are applied by all units within K-Fastigheter.
K-Fastigheter has information and communication paths aimed at promoting the accuracy of its financial reporting and enabling reporting and feedback from the operations to the Board and management, through, for example, governance documents in the form of internal policies, guidelines and instructions regarding financial reporting having been made available and known to the employees affected. The Board will receive further information relating to risk management, internal control and financial reporting from meetings and reports from the company's Auditors.
K-Fastigheter ensures that all employees acquaint themselves with the policies and instructions relevant to their work in the company. Among other things, such policies include laws and regulations applicable to the company's dissemination of information and the specific requirements imposed on individuals active in a listed company regarding, for example, insider information and trading. To prevent market abuse, K-Fastigheter has established procedures for appropriate handling and limiting the dissemination of information that has yet to be made public.
The Board tasks K-Fastigheter's CEO with overall responsibility for dealing with issues of insider information and the Board has appointed the company's Deputy CEO and CFO as responsible for managing insider logging. To coordinate and determine matters involving the assessment of possible insider information, the company maintains an Insider Committee consisting of the CEO, the Deputy CEO and CFO, the Head of Investor Relations and Board member Christian Karlsson.
K-Fastigheter's IR function is managed and supervised by the company's Deputy CEO and CFO and the company's Communications and IR Manager. The principal tasks of the IR function are to support the CEO and other senior executive in relation to various stakeholders, primarily capital market operators. The IR function also works together with the CEO in preparing K-Fastigheter's financial reports, shareholders' meetings, capital market presentations and other regular reporting.
The Board has adopted a Communication Policy specifying what is to be communicated, by whom and in what manner that information is to be published, ensuring that external information is accurate and complete. Instructions have also been prepared regarding how financial information should be communicated between management and other employees. Good information security procedures are also prerequisite to the accurate dissemination of information.
All financial reports, presentations and press releases are published on the company's website in direct connection with publication.
Compliance with, and the efficacy of the internal controls are monitored on an ongoing basis through K-Fastigheter's tool (IKV) for internal control.
The CEO ensures that the Board continuously receives reports on the company's operations, including the progress of its earnings and financial position, as well as information on significant events, including individual projects. The CEO also reports on these matters at each Board meeting.
The Board and Audit Committee review the annual and quarterly reports and conduct financial assessments in accordance with and approved plan. The Audit Committee reviews the financial reporting and other related issues and discusses these regularly with the external auditors.
K-Fastigheter has a whistleblower function to ensure the correct application of the Group's Code of Conduct. The whistleblower function is available for all employees through K-Fastigheter's intranet. To ensure anonymity and correct processing of the information, the function is administrated by an external party.

The Board of Directors and CEO of K-Fast Holding AB, 556827-0390, with its registered office in the Municipality of Hässleholm, Sweden, hereby submit the Annual Report and consolidated accounts for 2020. Amounts in the Annual Report are expressed in millions of Swedish kronor (SEK million). Numerical data in brackets refer to the corresponding value for the preceding financial year.
K-Fastigheter is a Swedish project development, construction and property management company founded in 2010. With commitment at all levels, the business concept is to create attractive homes offering a high degree of comfort. The Group has developed its own housing concepts meeting demands for highquality housing from tenants and social planners. To increase cost efficiency and shorten construction times, the Group works with three concept buildings that are constructed solely for long-term ownership and active property management: Low-Rise, Lateral Low-Rise and Apartment Block.
The Group holds a strong position in the Öresund region and in selected towns and cities in southern and western Sweden. The vision is to become one of the Nordic region's largest operators and a leading property owner of sustainably constructed, innovative and cost-efficient concept buildings meeting the wants and needs of tenants seeking to establish a home for many years to come. The housing offered by the Group is to be distinguished by the best combination of high standard, home comfort and security on the market.
K-Fastigheter's principal property segment is housing, which, at the end of 2020, constituted 83 percent of the area under property management and 86 percent of the contractual rent.
During the financial year, K-Fastigheter commenced construction of 912 apartments and completed 299. In addition, the Group has acquired 326 apartments, of which 68 will be handed over in 2021. At the end of the financial year, the Group had 2,237 apartments under management. The Group was also actively involved in 20 construction projects for a total of 1,311 apartments. The current construction and project portfolio encompasses some 3,880 apartments and guarantees employment for the Group's construction operations into 2023.
K-Fastigheter's overarching goal is to generate value for the company's shareholders. Over a business cycle, value creation is measured as growth in long-term net asset value per share.
financial position and with balanced financial risk-taking, meaning that:
The Group's Parent Company is K-Fast Holding AB. At the end of the financial year, the Group consisted of 60 wholly-owned subsidiaries and five associated company groups. The number of employees amounted to 76 (68), of whom 21 were women (19) and 55 were men (49).
Operations are organized into three business areas: Project Development, Construction and Property Management, where the relevant Business Area Managers report to the CEO and are part of, Group management.

There are also Group-wide functions for Accounting and Finance, IT/IR/Communication, and HR. The Group's Heads of Treasury, Finance, IR/Communications and HR are members of the Group management team.
The head office is located in Hässleholm, Sweden. There are also offices in Helsingborg, Kristianstad and Landskrona, as well as production facilities in Hässleholm and Osby.
Since 29 November 2019, the company's Class B shares have been listed on the Midcap list of the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange.
Net sales for the full-year amounted to SEK 215.1 million (187.3). Rental income for the full-year amounted to SEK 203.9 million (156.8), an increase of 30 percent. Of the SEK 47.1 million increase in the period, 21 percent was derived from rental income from properties acquired in the year, 65 percent from rental income on completed properties, and 14 percent from increased rental income on properties owned at the start of the period.
During 2020, K-Fastigheter entered into a number of agreements with commercial tenants relating to rent relief. Rent relief totaled SEK 0.4 million and is repayable by 31 March 2021. Despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on society as a whole, the proportion of late payments decreased in the year.
At the end of the year, the letting ratio was 91.2 percent (96.9) and the average letting ratio during the year was 92.0 percent (96.8). The lower letting ratio was primarily due to an ongoing project in Växjö, the Folkparken project, acquired by K-Fastigheter in January 2020, with tenants moving in gradually during 2020 where the letting ratio initially was low. Excluding the Folkparken project and the adjacent Pelikanen project, where the Group completed 54 Apartment Block apartments during the autumn, the letting ratio was 97.4 percent at year end and the average letting ratio for the year totaled 94.8 percent. The letting ratio is generally slightly lower initially in the projects that have been completed and where tenants have moved in over the past year, while the financial letting ratio remains very high in the parts of the holding that have been under management for an extended period. The assessment is that the degree of utilization in the Folkparken project will harmonize with the rest of K-Fastigheter's holding in future, and that the Group's overall letting ratio will improve.
Income from project and construction operations amounted to SEK 448.8 million (301.9), of which SEK 438.6 million (273.3) related to construction for Group companies that has been capitalized for the Group's own purposes. Assignments for external clients accounted for SEK 10.2 million (28.6), representing the Group's final tenant-owner project. The change in year-on-year terms was due to increased construction activity.
Property management costs totaled SEK 67.4 million (49.5) for the full-year, corresponding to an increase of 36 percent compared with the preceding year. The increase was primarily attributable to costs relating to completed and acquired properties for the year, and to a lesser extent, 16 percent, to cost increases relating to properties owned at the start of the year, mainly due to full year effects.
Property administration amounted to SEK 19.2 million (15.0) and mainly increased as a result of the expanded organizational resources for managing the growing property portfolio. The surplus ratio for the year amounted to 67.2 percent (68.4), and was mainly affected by a lower financial letting ratio, compared to the previous year.
Operating costs for management operations normally vary according to a seasonal pattern, where costs are higher in the first and fourth quarters compared to the rest of the year.
Costs relating to the project and construction operations comprise direct project-related costs and fixed costs for the construction organization. The part of operations involving external construction has been reported in the Income Statement. Project and contracting operations for Group property management activities have been capitalized as work for the Group's own purposes and have been reported net in the Income Statement under Project and contracting costs.
Costs for property administration and central administration for project and construction operations were reduced by relief granted for social security expenses. The relief amounted to SEK 1.1 million in the period March - June 2020.
Operating expenses for the year include expensed lease charges attributable to low-value leases of a total SEK 0.2 million (0.1). Other lease charges were capitalized in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases. The Group has no short-term leases or variable lease charges.
Consolidated gross profit for the full-year 2020 amounted to SEK 145.1 million (111.0), divided into gross profit from property management of SEK 137.0 million (107.3) and gross profit from project and contracting operations of SEK 8.1 million (3.7).
Gross profit from property management was positively affected by increased rental income and an increased surplus ratio, which for the full year amounted to 67.2 percent (68.4).
Gross profit from project and construction operations was affected positively by increased activity and gross margin in each project.
Central administration, which includes company management, project development, IR/communications, HR, IT and finance,
amounted to SEK 33.6 million (42.1) for the full year. For 2019, central administration costs included SEK 13.3 million relating to the IPO completed in 2019. The increased cost was mainly due to efforts to strengthen central organization resources with the aim of preparing for future growth and other demands placed on a listed company. Costs in the period were positively affected by SEK 0.3 million in relief for social security expenses awarded for the period March - June 2020.
Depreciation/amortization and impairment for the year amounted to SEK 8.5 million (15.2) and consisted of SEK 4.0 million (2.7) in depreciation on machinery, equipment and business properties and SEK 12.5 million (0.0) consists entirely of impairment of goodwill and investment properties and receivables.
Impairment for the year includes the scrapping of construction components in connection with the Group's K-Fast 2.0 renovation program. Impairment relating to expected credit losses was also included and increased by SEK 0.7 million in the year due to adjustments in the simplified (management overlay) and general (default rates) methods to make allowances for increased uncertainty resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, and due to increased receivables.
Profit from participations in Group and associated companies amounted to SEK 2.6 million (61.0), positively affected by SEK 4.0 million from the divestment of a tenant-owner project in Tygelsjö. Associated and jointly controlled companies are primarily project companies where income is recognized when a project is completed. In 2019, profit from shares in Group and associated companies was significantly affected by the distribution of assets in jointly owned Balder Skåne AB and profit in Novum
Samhällsfastigheter AB, which divested a project in Falkenberg in that year.
Net interest income for the full-year amounted to SEK -47.7 million (-35.3). At the end of the year, the average interest level was 1.77 percent (1.90), including the effects of interest rate derivatives. Interest expenses in the year were affected by increased interestbearing liabilities relating to acquisition of investment properties and new construction as well as a higher base rate in the year. Credit margins decreased in the year.
The interest coverage ratio for the year amounted to a multiple of 2.6 (2.8) and was adversely affected by lower net interest income, which was not fully offset by increased profit from property management.
Profit before changes in value for the full-year 2020 totaled SEK 57.9 million (79.3), corresponding to a decrease of 27 percent compared to 2019. The profit was positively impacted by improved gross profit and lower central administration costs, and negatively impacted by reduced net interest income/expense, and particularly by significantly lower profit from holdings in Group companies, associated companies and jointly controlled companies in 2020 compared to 2019.
Profit from property management amounted to SEK 75.3 million (52.9) for the year, an increase of 42 percent compared to the preceding year. Profit from property management per share amounted to SEK 2.18 (2.05), which is an increase of 6 percent year-on-year. Profit from property management was positively affected by the continued increase in rental income, and negatively affected by reduced net interest income.
Unrealized value changes in investment properties for the year were SEK 577.8 million (339.8), distributed over SEK 169.9 million (153.4) for properties under management and SEK 407.9 million (186.4) for construction projects in progress.
Of unrealized value changes for new construction in progress, properties completed during the year accounted for SEK 65.8 million (49.6). The remaining SEK 342.1 million (136.8) was attributable to properties that were under construction at the end of the year. At the end of the year, the direct return requirement in the valuation of new construction in progress amounted to 3.96 percent (4.02).
Of unrealized value changes for properties under management, SEK 14.6 million (62.9) related to acquisitions in the year. Of the remaining unrealized value changes in investment properties, improved net operating income contributed SEK 73.0 million (26.5), while changed valuation assumptions contributed SEK 81.7 million (51.2). Unrealized value changes relating to land and building rights decreased at a pace with utilization. In total, the average direct return requirement for properties under management was 4.08 percent (4.25).
The average direct return requirement for the entire property portfolio, including undeveloped land and building rights and new construction in progress, amounted to 4.03 percent (4.18) at the end of the year. The fact that the average direct return requirement decreased in the year, despite the prevailing market uncertainty, should be seen in the light of K-Fastigheter's gradually changed property portfolio, focusing on new housing construction in attractive locations and a lower share of commercial premises. Of unrealized value changes for properties under management of SEK 169.9 million in the year, housing increased by SEK 173.2 million, and commercial premises and building rights decreased by SEK 3.3 million.
Value changes on derivatives and other items totaled SEK -24.2 million (12.7) in the period, distributed over value changes in interest rate derivatives of SEK -14.4 million (-6.6) and unrealized exchange rate losses of SEK -9.8 million (0.0). Progress in the year was primarily due to lower market rates, which had a negative impact on the market value of the Group's interest rate derivatives, and a stronger SEK, which had a negative impact on the Group's foreign net assets. Furthermore, the previous year was positively affected by the winding down of the Group's securities portfolio. The Group's derivatives consist of interest rate and currency derivatives, intended to mitigate the Group's interest rate and currency risks. The fair value of the Group's derivatives was SEK -27.2 million (-12.8) at the end of the year. The value change in interest rate derivatives does not affect cash flow, and at maturity the value of the derivatives is always zero.
Current tax for the year amounted to SEK +0.3 million (3.8). Deferred tax amounted to SEK 137.2 million (62.8), affected by unrealized value changes in properties totaling SEK 577.8 million (339.8). The relatively higher tax rate for the comparative period 2019 was due to a conservative assessment of the effects of new regulations in 2019 for tax-deductible interest expenses.
Tax has been calculated at 21.4 percent on current taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities and tax receivables have been calculated at the lower tax rate of 20.6 percent, applicable from 2021, since K-Fastigheter estimates that the deferred tax will not be settled until 2021 or later.
As of 31 December 2020, K-Fastigheter's accumulated tax loss carry-forwards were estimated at SEK 100.4 million (59.2), which together with interest rate derivatives of SEK 27.2 million (12.8) and the aforementioned deductions for interest expenses comprise the basis of the Group's deferred tax assets, which amounted to SEK 27.0 million (21.4). The deferred tax liability relates primarily
to temporary differences between fair value and the residual tax base of the properties. On 31 December 2020, the fair value of the properties exceeded their tax base by SEK 2,183.7 million (1,485.2), which constituted the primary basis for the deferred tax liability of SEK 451.2 million (310.3) at year end.
The Balance Sheet for 31 December 2020 states the net value of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, which is why the figure for the comparison year has also been adjusted.
Profit for the year was SEK 474.5 million (365.3), corresponding to SEK 13.72 (14.14) per share. The decrease in earnings per share was mainly due to an increase in number of shares in connection with the new share issue in August 2020.
Comprehensive income for the year totaled SEK 473.1 million (365.3). Other comprehensive income includes translation differences relating to K-Fastigheter's foreign operations, which totaled SEK -1.4 million (0.0) in the year. The full amount relates to items that can be reversed in a later period.
Investment properties encompass properties where tenants can move in (completed investment properties), undeveloped land and land under development, site leaseholds (measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 16) and construction in progress.
On 31 December 2020, the Group's property portfolio comprised 78 completed investment properties distributed over a total of 141,145 square meters of residential and 28,400 square meters of commercial space. In addition, the Group had 20 ongoing construction projects, distributed over 85,999 square meters of residential and 198 square meters of commercial space.
Furthermore, K-Fastigheter has 22 projects in progress in the project development phase, at various stages of building permit application or project planning, of which 9 are projects for which K-Fastigheter has yet to take possession of the land.
At the end of the year, the value of investment properties totaled SEK 6,853.5 million (4,396.7), distributed over completed investment properties of SEK 5,067.2 million (3,606.9), undeveloped land and building rights of SEK 707.7 million (335.1), site leases of SEK 18.0 million (7.0) and construction in progress of SEK 1,060.6 million (447.7).
During the full-year, SEK 855.1 million (505.6) was invested in new construction, extensions and remodeling. In total, six projects were completed, as well as one out of two stages in the construction of the Helsingborg Nyponrosen 4 property, having been reclassified from construction projects in progress to completed investment properties, corresponding to a value of SEK 626.3 million (718.9). In addition, 14 intra-Group projects have commenced construction.
During 2020, acquisitions totaled SEK 1,034.5 million (557.7). These comprise acquisitions of land parcels for development, which increased from SEK 335.1 million at the end of 2019 to SEK 707.7 million (including value changes) at the end of 2020, and the completed properties in Helsingborg Amerika Norra 54, Växjö Örnen 33 & 34, Hässleholm Turbanen 2 & 3 and Landskrona Yxan 5 & 9, which were acquired for a total of SEK 605.7 million. No significant disposals were conducted during the year.
In addition, the total value of investment properties was positively impacted by unrealized changes in value of SEK 577.8 million (339.8), distributed over SEK 169.9 million (153.4) for properties under management and SEK 407.9 million (186.4) for construction projects in progress.
In 2020, the Group made a significant investment in a new production site in Hässleholm, involving the construction of a new production hall. The total investment amounted to SEK 11.4 million, which is also the primary reason the value of business properties increased from SEK 19.9 million to SEK 30.9 million in the year.
Equipment, totaling SEK 18.5 million (14.0) as of 31 December 2020, mainly comprises machinery and equipment related to the Group's construction operations, construction equipment and capitalized right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16.
Profit from holdings in associated and jointly controlled companies declined from SEK 38.3 million to SEK 37.3 million in 2020, which was primarily attributable to negative profit performance in partowned companies, which are primarily land-owning companies where land has been or will be developed, and where profit is realized when the project is completed. At the end of the year, the holding in Novum Samhällsfastigheter AB constituted SEK 36.8 million (38.2) of the total participations in associated and jointly controlled companies.
Non-current receivables of SEK 7.7 million (5.4), were primarily attributable to a receivable from the Municipality of Höganäs for a cash payment of SEK 5.3 million (5.3) for future development planning.
The Balance Sheet for 31 December 2020 states the gross value of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, which is why the figure for the comparison year has also been adjusted.
Deferred tax receivables amounted to SEK 27.0 million (21.4
million) as of 31 December 2020 and mainly derived from loss carry-forwards, which are expected to be utilized in coming years, and negative value of interest rate derivatives.
The Group's operating receivables consist primarily of other receivables of SEK 159.3 million (9.0), mainly comprising advance payments and deposits relating to agreed property acquisitions yet to be handed over. Of these receivables, the deposit for the acquisition of Finja Prefab AB amounted to SEK 70.0 million and receivables on two properties acquired, but not yet handed over, in Denmark totaling SEK 38.5 million.
Operating receivables in the form of customer receivables, which were significant in previous years, decreased from SEK 43.6 million to SEK 1.8 million in the year. At year end, customer receivables were divided over rent receivables from Group tenants totaling SEK 1.4 million (34.9) and receivables from external customers in construction operations of SEK 0.4 million (9.2). The year-onyear decrease was in part due to changes to the processing of rent receivables in connection with a change of rent collection system, where rent receivables now comprise the actual outstanding receivable from tenants at the end of the period, unlike previously when the rent receivable at the end of the quarter related to amount due for the coming three months, and in part because the extent of external construction operations has gradually declined.
Operating receivables also include receivables from associate and jointly controlled companies of SEK 10.5 million (16.5), consisting primarily of the part-financing of projects in progress, as well as prepaid expenses and accrued income of SEK 5.2 million (25.5).
At the end of the year, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 507.6 million (779.0). The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to investments in construction projects in progress and acquisitions of building rights and investment properties completed in the year. In addition, K-Fastigheter has an unutilized overdraft facility of SEK 90.0 million (90.0).
At the end of the year, consolidated equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to SEK 3,209.8 million (2,238.5), corresponding to SEK 89.44 per share (66.05). The increase was explained by profit for the period of SEK 473.1 million (365.3) and the new share issue completed in August, which increased the Group's equity by SEK 498.3 million or SEK 13.88 per share.
At the end of the year, the long-term net asset value (NAV) amounted to SEK 3,661.2 million (2,540.2), corresponding to SEK 102.02 per share (74.96). Long-term NAV per share increased by 36 percent compared to 31 December 2019 including new share issues completed in the year, and by 25 percent excluding these.
As of 31 January 2020, there were 35,888,528 (33,888,528) shares outstanding, distributed between 3,750,000 Class A shares (3,750,000) and 32,138,528 Class B shares (30,138,528). There was an average of 34,582,517 shares outstanding in 2020 (25,829,751).
At the end of the year, the Group's deferred tax amounted to SEK 451.2 million (310.3). The deferred tax liability derives primarily from temporary differences between fair value and the residual tax value for completed properties and properties under construction.
At the end of the year, consolidated interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 3,848.4 million (2,644.3), of which SEK 847.8 million (363.1) was classified as current interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-bearing liabilities are distributed between first mortgages for completed investment properties of SEK 3,145.1 million
(2,331.9), construction credits of SEK 681.2 million (303.2), leasing liabilities of SEK 22.2 million (9.2) and operating credits of SEK 0.0 million (0.0). The loan-to-value ratio for the Group's completed investment properties amounted to 46.7 percent (40.2). The increase in interest-bearing liabilities is primarily explained by the financing of investments in new construction, extensions and remodeling during the year, as well as completed investment properties and building rights. The increased loan-to-value ratio is explained by the increased interest-bearing liabilities, as outlined above, and lower cash and cash equivalents, as these have been used as partial financing in the above investments.
At the end of the year, the Group had contracted credit agreements of SEK 4,820.6 million (3,239.7), of which SEK 3,145.1 million (2,331.9) related to the financing of completed investment properties, of which SEK 781.1 million (322.0) mature for renegotiation within the next 12 months. Beyond the financing of completed investment properties, contracted credit agreements comprise building credits of SEK 1,585.5 million (817.8) and overdraft facilities and covered loans of SEK 90.0 million (90.0). At the end of the period, construction credits, and overdraft facilities and covered loans had been utilized in the amount of SEK 681.2 million (303.2) and SEK 0.0 million (0.0) respectively. On 31 December 2020, the Group's total contracted and unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 90.0 million (90.0), excluding construction credits.
As per 31 December 2020, the average credit term for the Group's interest-bearing liabilities, relating to completed investment properties and operational premises was 2.6 years (3.2).
The average interest period on the Group's interest-bearing liabilities relating to investment and business properties was 3.8 years (3.3), and the average interest rate was 1.77 percent (1.90), including the effects of interest rate derivatives, and 1.41 percent (1.62) excluding the effects of interest rate derivatives. The total
proportion of variable interest rates in relation to interest bearing liabilities related to investment and business properties was 39 percent (48) and the interest rate sensitivity in the event of a 1 percentage point shift in loan rates amounted to SEK 12.4 million (11.2).
K-Fastigheter currently works exclusively with variable interest rate loans. In order to manage the interest rate risk, interest rate derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, are used to adjust the interest period. Over time, changes in value arise in the interest rate derivative portfolio, primarily due to changed market interest rates. In the Balance Sheet, derivative instruments are reported at fair value as current or non-current assets or liabilities based on the term of the derivative, even where no amount is to be settled in cash.
Nominally, the swap portfolio totaled SEK 1,907.0 million (1,207.0) at the end of the year. At the end of the year, the fair value of the interest derivative portfolio was SEK -30.5 million (-12.8).
Operating liabilities consist primarily of accounts payable of SEK 50.4 million (57.6) related to operations, current tax liabilities of SEK 0.3 million (5.7), other liabilities of SEK 25.6 million (23.2) and accrued costs and prepaid income of SEK 38.2 million (63.3). Other liabilities include the current portion of SEK 6.4 million of a non-current liability to Brinova Fastigheter AB of a total SEK 12.8 million (19.6), deriving from the acquisition of K-Fast T4 AB in 2015.
Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the full-year 2020 amounted to SEK -64.4 million (49.5) and was affected positively by the improved gross profit from the property management and construction operations, and negatively by lower net interest income/expense and increased capital tied up, mainly in the form of advances and deposits for completed acquisitions which have not yet been handed over. In 2019, cash flow from operating activities included a cash dividend of SEK 37.1 million in connection with the distribution of assets in Balder Skåne AB.
The investing activities have primarily been affected by investments in properties of SEK 1,037.4 million (450.9) and investments in construction in progress in of SEK 831.3 million (513.6). In 2019, the phasing out of the Group's securities portfolio contributed positively to consolidated cash flow by SEK 110.9 million (0.0). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to a total outflow of SEK -1,888.4 million (-863.5).
In addition to being financed through cash flow from operating activities, the Group's investing activities in 2020 were primarily financed through increased interest-bearing liabilities of SEK 1,184.6 million (648.2) following amortizations of SEK 48.7 million (41.1). In addition, there are the net proceeds from the new share issues implemented during the year, which totaled SEK 498.3 million (892.1) In total, cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK 1,682.9 million (1,540.3), meaning that consolidated cash and cash equivalents for the year decreased by SEK 269.9 million (+726.3) to SEK 507.6 million (779.0) at the end of the year.
Besides what has been reported under investment and business properties, as well as under consolidated cash flow, no significant investments were made in non-current assets during the year.
Beyond investments in non-current assets, in 2020, the Group invested primarily in developing the organization and strengthening processes, systems and functions in finance, HR, IT and project development, investments which were mainly apparent in the increased central administration costs in the year.
The Parent Company owns no properties of its own. The Parent Company maintains Group-wide functions for administration, property management, financing and project development.
Sales in the Parent Company primarily relate to services invoiced to Group companies. The Parent Company's gross profit/loss for the full-year 2020 was SEK -33.5 million (-43.3). For the corresponding period 2019, Parent Company costs included SEK 13.3 million relating to the IPO completed in 2019. The decrease in gross profit/loss is due to increased costs in relation to strengthening the central organization to meet future growth and the requirements made on a listed company.
Parent Company profit/loss before tax was SEK -11.2 million (95.3) and, in addition to increased costs for central organizational resources, was also affected by increased interest expenses as a majority of the Group's interest-bearing debt is now financed via the Parent Company. The Parent Company's profit/loss before tax was also affected by unrealized value changes on derivatives totaling SEK -14.5 million (-6.7) and exchange rate effects related to the Group's Danish assets of SEK -9.8 million (0.0), which have been included in the parent company's net financial items. Profit for the corresponding period in 2019 was significantly affected by the distribution of the assets in Balder Skåne AB.
As of 31 December 2020, Parent Company assets and liabilities consisted primarily of shares, receivables and liabilities relating to Group companies, and cash and cash equivalents. As of 31 December 2020, Equity was SEK 1,539.8 million (1,050.6), affected by the new share issue completed in August, which raised SEK 498.3 million for the Parent Company. At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents in the Parent Company amounted to SEK 482.0 million (771.2).
Preparing financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires Group management to make assessments, estimates and judgments that affect how accounting principles are applied and the carrying amounts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors that appear reasonable under the prevailing circumstances. The results of these estimates and judgments are then applied in estimating the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, which would not otherwise be evident from other sources. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and judgments.
On submitting this Annual Report, the actual impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on K-Fastigheter and the Group's operations in 2020 was limited. It is currently uncertain how the coronavirus will affect K-Fastigheter looking ahead, although the impact is assessed continuously and will be reported in future Interim Reports. New information will be presented in press releases when required.
K-Fastigheter's assumptions regarding effects that could have a material impact on the company's future profit and financial position are presented below.
K-Fastigheter has a stable business model building on crossfunctional efforts in project development, construction and property management, which generates profitability at all stages. The Group holds a strong position on the market for rental apartments in the Öresund region and in selected towns and cities in southern and western Sweden. K-Fastigheter has an attractive property portfolio with 86 percent of contractual rental income deriving from housing and with commercial income being spread between a large number of individual contracts.
As of 31 December 2020, K-Fastigheter had a stable financial position (with an equity/assets ratio of 41.9 percent, a loan-to-value ratio of 46.7 percent) and favorable liquidity with available cash and cash equivalents of SEK 600 million.
The areas that K-Fastigheter currently deems as most likely to be affected in the future are rental income, property value and financial expenses.
In connection with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020, it was feared that many commercial tenants would face significant challenges as a result of slowing demand and that this could lead to a wave of bankruptcies, which could lead to increased vacancies and potential rental losses for property owners. Furthermore, it was considered likely that a substantial need for temporary or permanent rent relief would arise.
During 2020, K-Fastigheter kept in close contact with its commercial tenants and offered financial relief if required. All financial relief packages are subject to future repayment. Rent relief related to the pandemic totaled SEK 0.4 million in 2020, to be repaid by 31 March 2021. K-Fastigheter has not experienced any Covid-19 related bankruptcies or customer losses, and the proportion of late payments decreased in the year despite the impact of Covid-19 on society. Nevertheless, K-Fastigheter decided to increase its provisions for potential rent losses in the year, as uncertainty still prevails regarding future developments and the impact of the pandemic.
For more information on how K-Fastigheter reported customer and rent receivables and impairment of expected credit losses as of 31 December 2020, see Note 23 and 24.
Rental income (vacancies) and direct return requirements are two important parameters in determining the fair value of investment properties. The effect on rental income of the Covid-19 pandemic has been commented on above.
The direct return requirement is normally determined by two main factors – general market risk and specific property risk. The market risk is linked to general economic trends, and is influenced by how investors prioritize asset classes and financing opportunities, for example. The specific property risk is affected by factors such as property location, type of property and property standard and type of tenants. In relation to the Covid-19 pandemic the market risk, particularly in the future, can be expected to imply an increased return requirement from investors, with the ensuing theoretical consequence that the fair value of properties declines. In addition to the direct effect on profit, this kind of disruption could also entail a weakening of property companies' financial position and thereby also their financing ability, for example.
On submission of this Annual Report, information has been obtained from independent valuation experts, among others, to confirm the positions adopted by the company regarding fair value as of 31 December 2020. There is no information to indicate that this position should be revised and transactions during the period, even if fewer compared to the previous year, confirm that the trend towards a lower direct return requirement for housing continues. However, there is some uncertainty regarding the long-term impact, and this will be monitored in future reports.
For more detailed information regarding how K-Fastigheter values the Group's properties, see Valuation on page 34 and Note 17 Investment properties, which includes a sensitivity analysis.
K-Fastigheter is dependent on bank financing, partly for financing completed properties, partly to complete properties under construction. Interest expenses are the largest-single expense in the consolidated Income Statement.
In connection with the outbreak of the pandemic, and as the economy slowed down due to the spread of Covid-19, credit losses in the banking system could not be ruled out, which could in turn restrict access to financing and lead to increased funding costs.
K-Fastigheter's financing as of 31 December 2020 was exclusively comprised of borrowing from Nordic banks. Prior to the submission of this Annual Report, due to the Covid-19 pandemic K-Fastigheter has continuously gathered information from its banks to confirm the positions adopted as of 31 December 2020. The Group considers that there is continued strong support from its partner banks and assesses that capital supply remains good. It is worth adding that a relatively high proportion of K-Fastigheter's financing for completed properties has longer credit periods, and the average credit period was 2.6 years as of 31 December 2020. Furthermore, the average interest rate decreased from 1.90 percent to 1.77 percent in the year, and credit margins are also on a downward trend.
For more detailed information on how K-Fastigheter assesses financial risks, see Note 22 Financial risks and finance policy.
The retained earnings of the Parent Company is at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting.
K-Fastigheter prioritizes growth above dividends. Ahead of the 2020 Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be paid for the 2020 financial year. The Board of Directors proposes that the available profit is appropriated as follows:
| SEK | |
|---|---|
| Retained earnings | 1,491,421,633 |
| Profit for the year | -9,011,813 |
| Total | 1,482,409,820 |
| Carried forward | 1,482,409,820 |
The following table shows completed acquisitions of building rights and investment properties, construction starts and completed projects and renovations under K-Fastigheter's renovation concept K-Fast 2.0 during 2020. Over the year, these were presented in K-Fastigheter's interim reports as significant events.
On 16 April 2020, K-Fastigheter announced a long-term strategic collaboration with BoKlok, a company jointly owned by Skanska and IKEA. The aim is to carry out transactions leading to construction of up to a thousand apartments over the next three years. The partnership started with the following transactions:
K-Fastigheter has acquired the building rights in Växjö Trollet 2 from Skanska Hyresbostäder with a total living area of some 9,600 square meters distributed over some 150 apartments. Total purchase price SEK 15.0 million.
investors participated. The new share issue raised SEK 504 million for the company before issue expenses.
company will be active in the Mälardalen region and construct K-Fastigheter's concept buildings for long-term management of the tenant-owner building rights developed by Kilenkrysset. The new company will operate under the name K-Fast Kilen AB and K-Fastigheter owns 51 percent of the share capital. On the same date K-Fastigheter, completed an acquisition of a prefab factory. The seller was Kilen Produktion AB.

The financial reports for K-Fast Holding AB as of 31 December 2020 were adopted by the Board of Directors on 13 April 2021 and will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2021 for approval. K-Fast Holding AB, Corp. ID No. 556827-0390, is the Parent Company in a Group with subsidiaries as presented in Note 33 Shares in Group companies.
The company is a public limited liability company that was formed and has its registered offices in Sweden. The head office and principal business location is Bultvägen 7, SE-281 43 Hässleholm, Sweden. The company's business concept is committed and costefficient development, construction, management and long-term ownership of the market's most attractive residential properties in terms of condition, standard and service levels.
The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the interpretation statements issued by the IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC), as adopted by The EU. The Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary accounting rules for groups has also been applied.
The Annual Report of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board (Accounting for Legal Entities) and a associated statements by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The Parent Company applies the same accounting principles as the Group except in the instances mentioned below in the section "Parent Company accounting principles. The deviations occurring between the principles applied by the Parent Company and the Group are caused by limited opportunities to apply IFRS in the Parent Company as a consequence of the Annual Accounts Act. The functional currency for the Parent Company is Swedish kronor, which is also the reporting currency for the Parent Company and the Group. The financial statements are presented in Swedish kronor rounded to the nearest SEK million unless otherwise stated.
Assets and liabilities are recognized at historical cost, with the exception of investment properties, as well as financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.
Preparing financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires Group management to make assessments, estimates and judgments that affect how accounting principles are applied and the carrying amounts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors that appear reasonable under the prevailing circumstances. The results of these estimates and judgments are then applied in estimating the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, which would not otherwise be evident from other sources. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and judgments. Estimates and judgments are reviewed regularly. Changes in estimates are reported in the period in which the change is made if the change only affects that period, or in the period in which the change is made and future periods if the change affects both the current period and future periods.
Assessments made by Group management relating to the application of IFRS, which have a significant impact on the financial reports, and estimates made that could result in
significant adjustments in subsequent years' financial reports are described in greater detail in Note 2 Key assumptions and assessments.
The stated accounting principles for Group have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated financial reports, unless stated otherwise below. The Group's accounting principles has been applied consistently in the reporting and consolidation of subsidiaries.
From 2020 onwards, IASB has included a change in IFRS 3 relating to business combinations and asset acquisitions that involves a new definition of business combinations. In practice, the new definition means that if the purchase price for the shares in a business combination is essentially attributable to the market value of acquired properties, the acquisition is defined as an asset acquisition. Simply put, this means that the surplus value is allocated in its entirety to properties, and that no goodwill arises.
Other EU-approved new and revised standards and interpretation statements from the IFRS Interpretations Committee are currently not assessed to affect K-Fastigheter's earnings or financial position to a significant degree.
Otherwise, accounting principles and calculation methods remained unchanged on the previous year.
Changes in 2020 did not have any significant impact on K-Fastigheter's reporting, and mainly implied slightly more stringent disclosure requirements.
Other EU-approved new and revised standards and interpretation statements from the IFRS Interpretations Committee are currently not assessed to affect K-Fastigheter's earnings or financial position to a significant degree. This also applies to Swedish regulatory frameworks.
Non-current assets and liabilities consist, essentially, of amounts expected to be recovered or paid after more than 12 months of the Balance Sheet date.
Current assets and liabilities consist, essentially, of amounts expected to be recovered or paid within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Current liabilities to credit institutions include one year's agreed amortization, as well as credits maturing in upcoming financial years.
In the Parent Company, loans from/to Group companies are reported as non-current, as there are no established amortization plans.
Subsidiaries, investment objects, are companies over which the Group has a controlling influence. A controlling influence refers to K-Fast Holding AB being exposed to, or being entitled to, variable returns on its engagement in the investment object and being able to affect that return through its influence over the investment object. Subsidiaries are reported in accordance with the acquisition method. The method entails the acquisition of a subsidiary classified as a business combination being viewed as a transaction through which the Group indirectly acquires the subsidiary's assets and assumes its liabilities and contingent liabilities. The analysis determines, in part, the cost of the shares or business and, in part, the fair value on the acquisition date of the acquired identifiable assets, as well as the assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities. The purchase price also includes the fair value of all assets or liabilities resulting from an agreement on a conditional purchase price. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as they are incurred.
Subsidiaries' financial reports are included in the consolidated accounts from the point in time at which the controlling influence arises and until the date on which the controlling influence ceases.
Intra-Group receivables and liabilities, income or expenses and unrealized gains or losses arising from intra-Group transactions between Group companies are eliminated in their entirety when preparing the consolidated accounts.
For each acquisition, the Group determines whether all noncontrolling interests in the acquired company are reported at fair value or at the holding's proportional share of the acquired company's net assets.
The cost of the subsidiary's shares and the cost of the business comprise their fair values on the date of transfer of the assets, the incurred or assumed liabilities and the issued equity instruments provided as consideration in exchange for the acquired net assets and transaction expenses directly attributable to the acquisition.
In connection with business combinations where the cost exceeds the net value of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities, the difference is reported as goodwill. When the difference is negative, this is reported directly in the Income Statement.
In connection with an acquisition, an assessment is made as to whether the acquisition is an acquisition of a business or of assets. The transaction is considered to be an asset acquisition if it pertains to properties but does not include the organization and processes required to perform the property management operations. Although there are rental contracts relating to these properties, there are no employees in the company to conduct business operations.
In business combinations under shared controlling interests, the acquisition is reported at historical cost, meaning that assets and liabilities are reported at the values at which they have been included in each company's Balance Sheet. In this way, no goodwill arises. Other acquisitions are company acquisitions.
All of the Group's acquisitions of subsidiaries have been classified as asset acquisition as they pertain to investment properties. For asset acquisitions, the cost, including acquisition expenses, of the acquired assets are allocated to the individual acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair value at the time of acquisition. Deferred tax is not reported on the initial temporary differences. Complete deferred tax is reported on temporary differences arising following the acquisition. On the ensuing balance sheet date, acquired investment properties are reported at fair value, which may deviate from the cost.
Transactions with shareholders without a controlling influence and not resulting in a loss of control are reported as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their role as owners. In acquisitions from shareholders without a controlling influence, the difference between the fair value of the purchase price paid and the actual acquired portion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets is reported in equity. Gains and losses on divestments to holders without a controlling interest are also reported in equity.
Associated companies are those in which the Group has a significant but not controlling influence, which generally applies to shareholdings corresponding to between 20 and 50 percent of the votes. Holdings in associated companies are reported in accordance with the equity method. On applying the equity method, the investment is initially valued at cost, with the carrying amount then being increased or decreased to take into account the Group's share of the associated company's profit or loss after the acquisition date. In those cases where unrealized losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment. The Group's carrying amount on holdings in associated companies includes goodwill, which is identified in connection with the acquisition.
Collaborative arrangements are those companies in which the Group holds a shared controlling influence over the governance of the company, which normally applies to shareholdings corresponding to 50 percent of the votes. All investments in collaborative arrangements are characterized as joint ventures, in which the Group is entitled more to a proportion of the
arrangement's net assets than directly to the underlying assets and the obligations for the underlying liabilities.
Holdings in joint ventures are reported in accordance with the equity method, meaning that the consolidated book value of the holding is adjusted by the Group's participation in profit for the year and to any dividends received (that is, they are reported in the Balance Sheet at cost adjusted for changes in the Group's participation in the net assets of the joint venture less any decreases in the fair value of individual participations).
The basic principle of IFRS 15 is that a company recognizes income in the manner that best reflects the transfer of the promised product or service to the customer. This is reported applying a five step model:
Step 1: identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: identify the various performance commitments in the contract
Step 3: determine the transaction price
Step 4: allocate the transaction price to the performance commitments
Step 5: report income when a performance commitment is met
According to IFRS 15, income is defined as an increase in financial benefits as a consequence of incoming payments, increases in asset values, or reductions in liability values, resulting in an increase in equity. Income represents flows into the company through its regular operations. At the beginning of the agreement, all goods and services promised to customers are identified, and the distinct goods and services are reported as a separate performance commitment.
Income is reported when, or as, a performance commitment is met, with goods or services being transferred to customers. Goods and services are considered to have been transferred to the customer in connection with the transition of control. This can happen over time or at a particular point in time. The income shall consist of the amount by which the company expects to be compensated in exchange for the goods or services delivered.
The standard entails a limited effect on the time at which the income of the construction operations is recognized. Since the Group is contractually bound to deliver a specific building and is, over the course of the project, entitled to payment, the assessment is that the income should be reported over time, that is, according to an input method according to which income is primarily reported on the basis of the expenses disbursed in relation to the total expected input for the fulfillment of the performance commitment. On the other hand, if the Group makes the assessment that there is no entitlement to payment, income is, instead, reported at a particular time, that is, on completion.
Combined, this means that the Group's performance creates or improves an asset (execution of the construction contract) that the customer controls when the asset is created or improved. To determine the time at which income is recognized, the requirements in IFRS 15 regarding control must be taken into account, as well as the indicators of the transition of control. The Group takes the view that control passes to the customers at a pace with the execution of the construction contract. When control has passed to the customer, the Group is entitled to payment for the performance achieved at the time in question, with the income for execution being recognized over time.
Property sales are recognized on the date on which control passes to the buyer. Since income and expenses normally accrue to the seller until and including the transfer date, the Group recognizes property sales on the transfer date unless there are specific reasons not to do so.
Leases are classified in their entirety as operating leases. Rental income, including supplemental charges, is charged in advance and allocated on a straight-line basis, thus only rent charged for the period is reported as income. Where appropriate, recognized rental income has been reduced by the value of any rent rebates provided. In those cases where the lease includes reduced rent for a specific period, this is accrued on a straight-line basis across the current contract period.
Compensation paid by tenants who move out before the agreed end date is reported as income in connection with the cessation of the contractual relationship with the tenant and no commitments remaining, which normally occurs when the tenant vacates the apartment.
Since the services that the Group provides to the lessee are considered subordinate to the lease, all compensation is reported as rental income.
Income in the form of compensation for tenant-specific adaptations can be invoiced to the lessee for expenses for adaptations of the premises/apartment on an individual occasion or as income in the form of increased rent across all or part of the lease term. Regardless of the approach, the income for this comprises rent and is reported as rental income in accordance with IFRS 16.
Income from contracted construction operations is recognized over time with reference to progress towards completion for each performance commitment. The Group's performance creates or enhances an asset (construction of a building) controlled by the customer when the asset is created or improved, upon which the income for execution shall be recognized over time in accordance with the appropriate method. Progress towards completion for each performance commitment is calculated based on the percentage of the expenses disbursed compared with the total calculated expenses for each performance commitment (input method). When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, income is recognized to the extent expenses have been incurred that are expected to be recovered. When it is probable that the total contract expenses will exceed the total income, the expected loss is recognized immediately as an expense. When the value of the service performed for the customer corresponds directly to the right to invoice the service, income is recognized for the invoiced amount.
The Group largely conducts construction operations for its own purposes, developing rental apartments. On individual occasions, residential properties are developed and sold. Income is then reported when control of the property has been transferred to customers.
The properties normally have no alternative use for the Group due to contractual restrictions. However, an enforceable right to payment does not arise until ownership has transferred to the customer. Income is therefore reported at the time when ownership transfers to the customer. Income is recognized at the contractual transaction price. Normally, compensation falls due for payment when the title of ownership has been transferred. Although there are exceptions where payment terms may be extended, payment terms never exceed 12 months. Accordingly, the transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of significant financing components.
Financial income and expenses comprise interest income on bank funds and receivables, interest expenses on liabilities, value changes in derivatives, as well as profit from sales of securities. Interest income on receivables and interest expenses on liabilities is calculated applying the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate at which the present value of all future incoming and outgoing payments over the interest period are equal to the carrying amount of the receivable or liability. Interest income and interest expenses include the accrued amounts of transaction expenses and any discounts, premiums and other differences between the original carrying amount of the receivable or liability respectively and the amount settled on maturity. The interest rate component in financial lease payments is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income through the application of the effective interest method. Loan expenses directly attributable to the construction or production of an asset that takes considerable time to complete for its intended use or for sales are included in the cost of the asset. Loan expenses are capitalized on the condition that it is likely that this will lead to future economic benefits and the costs can be measured reliably.
Current employee benefits are calculated without discounting and are recognized as expenses when the associated services are received.
Remunerations to employees consist of salaries, paid vacation, paid absence due to illness and other remunerations, as well as pensions. The Group's pension plans are, in their entirety, defined contribution plans.
For defined-contribution pension plans, the Group pays fees to publicly or privately managed pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment commitments once the fees have been paid. When they fall due for payment, the fees are reported as personnel expenses. Prepaid fees are reported as an asset to the extent that cash repayments or reductions of future payments may benefit the company.
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is reported in the Income Statement except when the underlying transaction is reported in other comprehensive income or directly against equity, upon which the associated tax effect is reported in other comprehensive income or in equity. Current tax is tax to be paid or received for the present year, applying the tax rates determined, or in practice determined, on the balance sheet date. This also includes adjustment of current tax attributable to earlier periods.
Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the balance sheet method based on temporary differences between the recognized and taxable values of assets and liabilities. The following temporary differences are not taken into account: initial recognition of assets and liabilities that are not business combinations and that do not, at the time of the transaction, affect recognized or taxable profit.
Nor are temporary differences taken into account that are attributable to participations in subsidiaries and associated companies that are not expected to be reversed within the foreseeable future. The assessment of deferred tax is based on how carrying amounts of assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or regulated. The book value of the Group's investment properties
is assumed to be realized through the disposal of the properties at the end of their useful life. The tax rate on the gains is the same as would apply in a direct sale of the property as recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, regardless of whether the Group would structure the sale as the disposal of a subsidiary, which would entail a different tax rate. The deferred tax is then calculated based on the temporary differences and tax consequences deriving arising from recovery through sales. Deferred tax is calculated applying the tax rates and tax regulations approved or in practice approved as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax receivables regarding deductible temporary differences and tax-loss carry forwards are reported only to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilized. The value of deferred tax receivables is reduced when it is no longer considered likely that they can be utilized.
When a company is acquired, the acquisition constitutes either a business combination or an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is identified if the acquired company only owns one or more properties. Although there are rental contracts relating to these properties, there are no employees in the company to conduct business operations. When recognized as an asset acquisition, no deferred tax is recognized. All of the transactions conducted by the Group have been classified as asset acquisitions, which is why no deferred tax is initially recognized attributable to properties with regard to these acquisitions.
Financial instruments are any kind of agreement giving rise to a financial asset in a company and a financial liability or equity instrument in another company. On the assets side, financial instruments recognized in the Balance Sheet include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from associated and jointly controlled companies and other receivables. The liabilities side includes accounts payable, loan liabilities, derivatives, liabilities to associated companies and other liabilities. Recognition depends on how the financial instruments have been classified.
A financial asset or liability is recognized in the Balance Sheet when the company becomes a party in accordance with the contractual terms of the instruments. Rent receivables and accounts receivable are recognized in the Balance Sheet when an invoice has been sent and the Group's right to compensation is unconditional. Liabilities are addressed when the counterparty has performed its undertaking and a contractual obligation to pay exists, even if the invoice has not yet been received. Accounts payable are recognized when an invoice is received.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and recognized at a net amount in the Balance Sheet where there is a legal right to offset the amounts and there is an intention to settle the items at a net amount, or to realize the asset and settle the liability at the same time.
A financial asset is removed from the Balance Sheet when the rights inherent in the agreement are realized or expire, or when the company loses control of them. The same applies for part of a financial asset. A financial liability is removed from the Balance Sheet when the obligation in the agreement has been met or otherwise been extinguished. The same applies for part of a financial liability.
Gains and losses on removal from the Balance Sheet and modifications are recognized in the Income Statement.
The classification of financial assets that are debt instruments is based on the Group's business model for the management of the asset and the nature of the asset's contractual cash flows.
The instruments are classified according to one of the following categories:
The Group's debt instruments are classified at amortized cost.
Financial assets classified at amortized cost are initially valued at fair value plus transaction costs. Accounts receivable and lease receivables are initially recognized at the invoiced amount. Following initial recognition, the assets are valued in accordance with the effective interest method. All rental and accounts receivable are short-term, which means that the recognized value corresponds to fair value. In accordance with the business model, assets classified at amortized cost are held to collect contractual cash flows, which are only payments of principal and interest on the outstanding capital amount. The assets are covered by a loss reserve for expected credit losses.
Fair value via other comprehensive income encompasses assets held, in accordance with the business model, both to be sold and to collect contractual cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest on the outstanding capital amount. On initial recognition, financial instruments in this category are measured at
fair value. Fair value changes are reported in Other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the Balance Sheet, since the amounts in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the Income Statement. The assets are covered by a loss reserve for expected credit losses.
All other debt instruments not measured at amortized cost or at fair value via other comprehensive income are classified at fair value in the Income Statement. Financial instruments in this category are initially recognized at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported in the Income Statement.
The Group's financial assets that are debt instruments consist of accounts receivable, financial investments and cash and cash equivalents and are all assigned to the amortized cost category.
Equity instruments are classified at fair value via the Income Statement, unless not held for trade, in which case an irrevocable choice can be made to classify them at fair value via other comprehensive income without subsequent reclassification to the Income Statement. The Group currently has no such equity instruments.
This pertains to interest rate swap agreements classified at fair value via the Income Statement. In accordance with the IFRS valuation hierarchy, the fair value of derivatives has been measured in accordance with level 2. This level means that the valuation is based on input data other than quoted prices observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
The derivatives contracts include the possibility of netting
commitments to the same counterparty. The Group does not apply hedge accounting.
Fair value is determined as described in Note 22 Financial risks and finance policies.
Financial liabilities are classified at amortized cost with the exception of derivatives. Financial liabilities reported at amortized cost are initially valued at fair value including transaction costs. After initial recognition, financial liabilities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method.
Fair value is determined as described in Note 22 Financial risks and finance policies.
With the exception of those classified at fair value through the Income Statement or as equity instruments measured at fair value via other comprehensive income, the Group's financial assets are subject to impairment for expected credit losses. In accordance with IFRS 9, impairment for credit losses is forward-looking and a loss reserve is made when there is an exposure to credit risk, usually in connection with initial recognition. Expected credit losses reflect the present value of all cash flow deficits attributable to default, either for the subsequent 12 months or for the expected remaining term of the financial instrument, depending on the asset class and on credit deterioration since the initial reporting date. Expected credit losses reflect an objective, probability-weighted outcome that takes several scenarios into account based on reasonable and verifiable forecasts.
The valuation of expected credit losses is based on various methods. The method for accounts receivable, contract assets and rent receivables is based on historical customer losses combined with forward-looking factors in accordance with a loss-sharing method. In the simplified model, a loss provision is made for the expected remaining maturity of the receivable or asset, which is expected to be less than one year for all of these claims. The Group's customers are a homogeneous group with a similar risk profile, which is why credit risk is initially assessed collectively for all customers. Any major individual receivables are assessed per counterparty. The Group writes off a receivable when there is no longer any expectation of receiving payment and when active measures to obtain payment have been discontinued. Other receivables and assets are impaired in accordance with a ratingbased method through external credit rating for calculating expected credit losses on the basis of the probability of default, expected losses and exposure on default. Even on initial recognition, a loss provision is reported based on what can be expected statistically for the ensuing 12 months (stage 1). In cases where a significant increase in credit risk has occurred, the loss reserve for the entire remaining expected maturity is calculated instead (stage 2 or, if the exposure is considered credit impaired, stage 3).
Stage 1 encompasses financial instruments where no significant increase in credit risk has occurred since initial recognition and counterparties covered by the Group's assessment of low credit risk at the time of reporting.
Stage 2 includes financial instruments where a significant increase in credit risk has occurred since initial recognition, but where there is no objective evidence on the reporting date that the claim is uncertain.
Stage 3 includes financial instruments for which objective evidence has been identified that the claim is uncertain.
The Group has defined default as when payment of the claim is 90 days late or more, or if other factors indicate that payment is in default. Per the Balance Sheet date, no material increase in credit risk has been deemed to prevail for any receivables or assets. Such an assessment is based on whether payment is 30 days delayed or more, or, if a significant deterioration in rating occurs, entailing a rating below investment grade, meaning credit impairment on the receivables or assets. In cases where the amounts are not deemed insignificant, a provision is made for expected credit losses for these financial instruments too.
For assets and receivables with deteriorated credit, an individual assessment is made, taking into account historical, current and forward-looking data. If there has been an essential increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss reserve is reported for the remaining term of the asset (stage 2). For assets deemed to be impaired, reserves continue to be made for expected credit losses over the remaining term (stage 3). For assets and receivables with deteriorated credit, the calculation of interest income is based on the carrying amount of the assets, net following loss reserves, unlike the gross amount as in the previous stages.
The valuation of expected credit losses takes into account any collateral and other credit enhancements in the form of guarantees. The financial assets are reported in the Balance Sheet at amortized cost, that is, net of gross value and loss reserves. Changes in the loss reserve are reported in the Income Statement.
For other items subject to expected credit losses, a three-stage impairment model is applied. Initially, as well as on each Balance Sheet date, a loss reserve is reported for the next 12 months or for a shorter period depending on the remaining term (stage 1). The Group's assets have been assessed as being in stage 1, that is, there has been no significant increase in credit risk.
If there has been an essential increase in credit risk since initial recognition, entailing a rating below investment grade, a loss reserve is reported for the remaining term of the asset (stage 2). For assets deemed to be impaired, reserves continue to be made for expected credit losses over the remaining term (stage 3). For assets and receivables with deteriorated credit, the calculation of interest income is based on the carrying amount of the assets, net of loss reserves, unlike the gross amount as in the previous stages.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and immediately available balances at banks and corresponding institutions, and current liquid investments with a term of less than three months from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are covered by the requirement for loss reserves for expected credit losses. All cash and cash equivalents and bank balances are attributed to stage 1, that is, there has been no significant deterioration in credit.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances are placed only in Swedish and Danish banking and credit institutions with the highest credit rating, meaning that the risk of credit losses is assumed to be largely non-existent and the Group has therefore chosen not to make any provisions for expected credit losses on cash and cash equivalents and bank balances.
Non-current liabilities have an expected maturity longer than one year, while current liabilities have a maturity shorter than one year.
Borrowing is initially reported at the amount received less transaction expenses. After the acquisition date, the loans are valued at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method.
Accounts payable are commitments to pay for goods or services acquired from suppliers in the operating activities. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if they fall due for payment within a year or earlier (or during a normal business cycle if this is longer). If not, they are recognized as non-current liabilities. All accounts payable are short-term, which means that recognized value corresponds to fair value.
Dividends paid are recognized as a liability after the approval of the dividend by the Annual General Meeting.
The calculation of earnings per share is based on consolidated profit for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company and the weighted average number shares outstanding during the year.
Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from business combinations, but that have not been identified individually and recognized separately. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and tested at least annually for impairment and as soon as there are any indications that the asset in question has decreased in value. Goodwill is recognized at cost less accumulated impairment losses. No individual unit is significant.
The Group reports Right-of-use assets and leasing liabilities attributable to all lease contracts, with the exception of agreements shorter than 12 months and/or of minor value (5,000 USD).
Straight-line amortization of right-of-use assets, and interest expenses on liabilities, are recognized in the Income Statement. While the right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term or the economic lifetime, whichever is longer, the liability is adjusted by the portion of the leasing fee for a period that is not allocated as an interest cost.
The lease agreements assessed by the Group as significant were leases for cars, high-value IT equipment and site leaseholds. The rights-of-use assets included in these lease agreements attributable to site leasehold rights are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. The corresponding amount has been recognized as a non-current lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16. The weighted average marginal loan rate used amounts to 1.95 percent for the lease category of cars and to 2.05 percent for site leaseholds.
Lease agreements regarding photocopiers, and low-value office and IT equipment, have not been assessed as material, and the Group applies the simplification rule in the Balance Sheet due to the lower value. Relating to lease agreements as lessor, see Rental income page 95.
In the Group, tangible non-current assets are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and any write-downs. The cost includes the purchase price and expenses directly attributable to installing the asset, and ensuring it is in a condition to be used in accordance with the purpose of the procurement. Loan expenses directly
attributable to the purchasing, construction or production of assets that take considerable time to complete for their intended use or for sales are included in the cost.
Machinery and equipment are recognized at cost after deductions for accumulated depreciation and any impairment.
The carrying amount for a tangible fixed asset is removed from the Statement of Financial Position in the event of scrapping or disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from the use or scrapping/disposal of the asset.
Profit or loss arising from the disposal or scrapping of an asset comprises the difference between the sales price and the asset's carrying amount less direct selling costs. Gains and losses are reported as other operating income/expense.
Depreciation on machinery and equipment is recorded so that the asset's value is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
Additional expenses are added to the cost only if it is probable that the future financial benefits associated with the asset will benefit the Group and if the cost can be reliably calculated. All other additional expenses are reported as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
An additional expense is added to the cost if the expense pertains to exchanges of identified components or parts thereof. Even in cases where a new component is created, the expense is added to the cost. Any non-amortized carrying amount on exchanged components, or parts of components, are scrapped and expensed in connection with the exchange.
A straight-line depreciation method is used for all types of tangible assets, except land. For machinery and equipment, a depreciation period of 3-10 years is applied.
Investment properties are properties that are held for the purpose of collecting rental income or increased value or a combination of these. Investment properties are initially reported at cost, which includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition and loan expenses. Investment properties are recognized in accordance with the fair value method.
The fair value of the investment properties is based primarily on external valuations made by valuation institutes and valuation experts accredited by Samhällsbyggarna or MRICS and, in some cases, on internal valuations based on the market knowledge amassed by company executives, as well as on detailed analyses of equivalent completed transactions in the same market.
Fair value is based on market value, which is the estimated amount that would be received in a single transaction at the time of valuation between knowledgeable parties who are independent of each other and who have an interest in implementing the transaction following the usual marketing measures, where both parties are presumed to have acted with insight and wisdom, and without coercion. Both unrealized and realized value changes are recognized in the Income Statement.
For more information on the valuation of investment properties, see Note 17 Investment properties.
Income from property sales is normally reported on the transfer date unless the risks and benefits have passed to the buyer on an earlier occasion. Control of the asset may have been transferred at an earlier time than the transfer date and, if this was the case, the property sale will be reported at this earlier date. When assessing the income recognition date, what has been agreed between the parties regarding risks, benefits and commitment has been taken into account in the ongoing administration. Additionally, circumstances beyond the control of the seller and/or buyer and that could affect the outcome of the transaction are taken into account.
If the Group initiates remodeling of an existing investment property for continued use as investment property, the property continues to be reported as an investment property. The property is recognized in accordance with the fair value method and is not reclassified to tangible fixed assets while remodelling is in progress. Additional expenses in connection with renovations and extensions are added to the carrying amount only if it is probable that the future financial benefits associated with the asset will benefit the Group and if the cost can be reliably calculated. Other additional expenses are reported as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Decisive for the assessment when an additional expense is added to the carrying amount is whether it pertains to exchanges of identified components or parts thereof, in connection with which such expenses are capitalized. Even in cases where a new component is created, the expense is added to the carrying amount.
The Group reclassifies a property from an investment property only when there is a change in the area of use. A change in the area of use occurs when the property meets or ceases to meet the definition of an investment property and there is evidence of the change in area of use.
Business properties are properties held for production, warehousing or administrative purposes. For properties of mixed use, since part of the property is held for the purpose of generating rental income or value growth, while another part is used in the business, the Group makes an assessment of whether the parts can be sold individually. If this is the case, the property is divided into an investment property and a business property. If the assessment is that the parts cannot be sold individually, the property is classified as a investment property if the part used in the business amounts to at most 25 percent of the total property, otherwise the whole property is classified as a business property. All of the Group's property stocks are, in their entirety, classified as investment properties, except the Skruven 4 property in Hässleholm and the Osby 186:1 property in Osby, which are classified as business properties. For information about writedowns of business properties, please refer to Tangible non-current assets.

Inventories are valued at the lowest of cost and net realizable value. For raw materials, all expenses are included that are directly attributable to the procurement of the goods in the cost. Borrowing costs are not included.
Loan expenses directly attributable to the design or production of an asset that takes considerable time to complete for its intended use or for sales are included in the cost of the asset. Loan expenses are capitalized on the condition that it is likely that this will lead to future economic benefits and the costs can be measured reliably. All loan expenses on building credit are capitalized.
The Group's recognized assets are assessed on each balance sheet date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. IAS 36 is applied regarding impairments of assets other than financial assets, which are reported in accordance with IFRS 9, assets for sale and divestment groups are recognized in accordance with IFRS 5, inventories and deferred tax receivables.
If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is calculated. For exempted assets in accordance with the above, the valuation is tested in accordance with the relevant standard.
If it is not possible to assign significant independent cash flows to an individual asset when assessing impairment needs, the assets are grouped at the lowest level at which it is possible to identify significant independent cash flows, a so-called cash-generating unit. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment is charged to the Income Statement.
The recoverable value of assets belonging to the category of loan receivables and accounts receivable, which are reported to amortized cost, is calculated as the present value of future cash flows discounted by the effective interest rate that applied on the initial recognition of the asset.
Short-maturity assets are not discounted. The recoverable value of other assets is the highest of fair value less sales expenses and value in use. On calculating the value in use, future cash flows are discounted applying a discount factor that takes into account risk-free interest and the risk associated with the specific asset. For an asset that does not generate cash flows that are substantially independent of other assets, the recoverable value is calculated of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment of assets included in the scope of IAS 36 is reversed if there is both an indication that the need for impairment no longer prevails and if there has been a change in the assumptions on which the calculation of the recoverable amount was based. Goodwill impairment is, however, never reversed. A reversal is made only to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset, following reversal, does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized, less depreciation where applicable, if no impairment had been applied. Impairments of loan receivables and accounts receivable recognized at amortized cost are reversed if a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount can objectively be attributed to an event occurring following the application of the impairment.
A provision is reported in the Balance Sheet when the Group has an existing legal or informal commitment as a consequence of an event that has occurred and it is likely that an outflow of financial resources will be required to settle the commitment and that a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the effect of when payment is made is significant, provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flow at an interest rate before tax reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and, if applicable, the risks associated with the liability.
A contingent liability is recognized when there is a possible commitment stemming from events and whose occurrence is confirmed only by one or more uncertain future events or when there is an obligation that is not recognized as a liability or provision because an outflow of resources is unlikely to be required.
The cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with the indirect method, meaning that profit is adjusted for transactions not entailing incoming or outgoing payments during the period and for any income or expenses attributed to the investing or financing activities.
In accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments, operating segments must be reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting submitted to the highest executive decision maker. An operating segment is a part of the Group that conducts operations from which it can generate income and incur expenses and for which standalone financial information is available. An operating segment's profit is also reviewed by the company's highest executive decision-maker to assess profit and to be able to allocate resources to the operating segment. In the Group, the Board of Directors and Group management have been identified as the
highest executive decision maker. See Note 3 for further description of the division and presentation of operating segments. The Group has identified three operating segments: Project Development, Construction and Property Management.
The Group's external income derives solely from customers in Sweden. No individual customer accounts for more than 10 percent of sales. When identifying operating segments, the Board of Directors and Group management usually follow the Group's business areas, which correspond to the principal products and services offered by the Group.
Each of the operating segments is managed separately as each requires different technologies and other resources, as well as marketing methods. All transactions between segments are conducted on a professional basis and are based on prices charged to customers that are not related parties in connection with standalone sales of identical goods or services (that is, transactions between parties that are independent of one another, that are well informed and that have an interest in conducting the transactions).
The Group applies the same valuation principles in its segment reporting in accordance with IFRS 8 as in its financial reports.
The Group's operations are organized in line with how the Board of Directors and Group management monitor the profit, return and cash flow generated by the Group's different services. Each operating segment has a manager (business area manager) who is responsible for the day-to-day operations and who reports the outcome of the operating segment's performance and resources requirements regularly for the Board of Directors and Group management. Since the Board of Directors and Group management review the operations' profits and allocate resources on the basis of the products manufactured and sold by the Group, these constitute the Group's operating segments.
The operating segments' profits, assets and liabilities include directly attributable items and items that can be allocated to the segments in a reasonable and reliable manner. The items recognized in the operating segments' profits, assets and liabilities are valued in accordance with the profit, assets and liabilities monitored by the company's highest executive decision makers, the Board of Directors and the management team.
The segment reporting builds on the following position regarding the business areas:
The value and profit attributable to value changes on newly developed properties, sales gains in a newly-constructed property if this is sold with title as tenant-owned apartments or an investment property, value generation by refining land or converting existing properties.
Profit generated in any of the Group's construction companies.
Profit from property management of rental properties, profit from sales of investment properties, profit from associated companies active within property management, as well as value changes in investment properties and interest rate derivatives are reported in this segment.
The Parent Company has prepared its Annual Report in accordance
with the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The recommendation means that the Parent Company, in the Annual Report for the legal entity, shall apply all IFRS and statements approved by the EU as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act and with regard to the relationship between accounting and taxation. IFRS 16 is not currently applied by the Parent Company. The recommendation states which exceptions and additions apply in relation to IFRS.
The stated accounting principles for the Parent Company have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Parent Company's financial reports.
The Parent Company's Income Statement and Balance Sheet are arranged in accordance with the diagrams presented in the Annual Accounts Act. The difference compared with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which is applied in the design of the consolidated financial accounts consists primarily of how financial income and expenses, as well as equity, are recognized.
Participations in subsidiaries and associated companies are reported in the Parent Company in accordance with the cost method les potential impairment.
The Parent Company's net sales consist of property management services for subsidiaries. This income is recognized in the Income Statement in the period to which it relates.
The company is party to lease agreements relating to cars and IT equipment. IFRS 16 is not applied in the Parent Company, and instead follows RFR 2. In cases where the Parent Company is the lessee, this means that lease charges are recognized s a cost on a straight-line basis over the leasing period. The cost of lease agreements is recognized under the item Other external expenses. Accordingly, right-of use assets and lease liabilities are not included in the Balance Sheet.
Anticipated dividends from subsidiaries are reported in cases where the Parent Company alone is entitled to determine the size of dividends and the Parent Company has determined the size of the dividend prior to the Parent Company publishing its financial reports.
The Parent Company applies the exemption to not value financial guarantee agreements benefiting subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures in accordance with the rules in IFRS 9, instead applying the valuation principles in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The Parent Company's financial guarantee agreements consist primarily of guarantee commitments to the benefit of subsidiaries. Financial guarantees mean that the company has a commitment to compensate the holder of a debt instrument for losses that the holder incurs due to a specific debtor failing to pay on maturity in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In its recognition of financial guarantee agreements, the Parent Company applies RFR 2 p 72, a relief provision compared with the regulations in
IFRS 9 with regard to financial guarantee agreements issued for the benefit of subsidiaries and associated companies. The Parent Company reports financial guarantee agreements as a provision in the Balance Sheet when the company has an obligation for which payment is likely to be required to settle the obligation.
In the Parent Company, untaxed reserves are recognized inclusive of a deferred tax liability. In the consolidated accounts, however, untaxed reserves are broken down into deferred tax liability and equity.
The Parent Company recognizes Group contributions and shareholder contributions in accordance with RFR 2. Shareholder contributions are posted directly against equity for the recipient and are capitalized in shares and participations for the donor, to the extent that impairment is not required. Group contributions are recognized as year-end allocations in the Income Statement The tax effect is reported in accordance with IAS 12 in the Income Statement.
The Parent Company does not report segments in accordance with the same distribution and to the same extent as the Group, without disclosing the distribution of net sales between the Parent Company's branches of operation.
Preparing financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires the Board and Group management to make estimates and judgments that affect how accounting principles are applied and the carrying amounts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors that appear reasonable under the prevailing circumstances. The results of these estimates and judgments are then applied in estimating the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses which would not otherwise be evident from other sources. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and judgments. Assumptions and estimates are regularly analyzed by the Board and management. Changes are reflected in reporting for the period when the change is made in cases where the change only affects the current period. If the change affects the current period and ensuing periods, reporting is affected accordingly. Assumptions that are considered to be more significant when preparing the financial statements are described below.
For key assumptions and assessments in connection with valuations of investment properties, see Note 17 Investment properties. K-Fast Holding AB recognizes its properties in accordance with the fair value method as stated in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, meaning that value changes are reported in the Income Statement, and profit can therefore be significantly affected.
For key assumptions and assessments in connection with the valuation of ongoing new construction, see Note 17 Investment properties. Properties under construction and project properties are valued at cost with additions/deductions for expected unrealized value changes, calculated as the estimated fair value less the estimated cost in accordance with IAS 40, where 20 percent of the assessed value change is recognized when the building permit has gained legal force and a general construction contract has been signed, while the remaining 80 percent is recognized successively during construction in relation to the costs incurred. The change in value is reported in the Income Statement and profit can therefore be significantly affected.
Accounting standard IFRS 3's rule regarding the classification of acquisitions as business combinations or asset acquisitions proceeds from an individual assessment having to be made for each individual transaction. For property transactions, an assessment is made of when the transfer of control to the counterparty takes place, which determines when the transaction is reported. For all of the year's acquisitions, the assessment has entailed the transactions being classified as asset acquisitions. See Note 17 Investment properties.
Deferred tax receivables regarding tax-loss carry forwards or other future tax deductions are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the deduction can be deducted against surpluses in connection with future taxation. Deferred tax liabilities pertaining to temporary differences attributable to investments in subsidiaries are not reported in the consolidated accounts because the Parent Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is not considered likely that a reversal will occur within the foreseeable period.
Group management currently identifies the following three business areas as its operating segments: Project Development, Construction and Property Management. The operating segments are monitored by the Group's CEO, the Board of Directors and the management team, and strategic decisions are made based on operating income for the segments.
Segment reporting for Income Statement and Balance Sheet items that are considered relevant when followed up and analyzed by the company's chief decision maker is presented below.
Segment reporting can be broken down as follows for the current reporting period:

Investment properties are reported at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the change in value is reported in the Consolidated Income Statement. All investment properties have been assessed as being at level 3 in the value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The fair value of the properties is based on external and internal valuations by means of a combination of the yield capitalization and location price methods. Properties under construction and project properties are valued at cost with additions/deductions for expected unrealized value changes, calculated as the estimated fair value less the estimated cost, where 20 percent of the assessed change in value is recognized when the building permit has gained legal force and a general construction contract has been signed, while the remaining 80 percent is recognized successively during construction in relation to the costs incurred. The fair value is the estimated amount that would be received in a single transaction at the time of valuation between knowledgeable parties who are independent of each other and who have an interest in completing the transaction following the usual marketing measures, where both parties are presumed to have acted with insight and wisdom, and without coercion.
As of 31 December 2020, 85 percent of the Group's completed properties, corresponding to 71 percent of the total value of completed investment properties, have been valued by the external independent assessor, Newsec Advise AB, in accordance with the recommendations of RICS and IVSC, to reach a market value in accordance with the internationally accepted definition developed by these organizations. In all instances, the internally valued properties are located on markets where K-Fast Holding AB has been active for several years and where comparable market data could be obtained from external valuations, from Newsec Advise AB
and from completed transactions. The difference in value between internally performed valuation and external valuation was less than a half percent of the total value. In all instances, the basis for the valuation consists of data regarding the condition of the property, leases, fixed operating costs, vacancies and planned investments, as well as an analysis of existing tenants. An assessment is made of the location, rent trend, vacancy rates and direct return requirements for relevant markets and taking normalized operation and maintenance costs into account. Data on the properties' land area, detailed development plans for undeveloped land and development properties are collected from public sources.
The value of the property holding is updated quarterly through existing values being updated with current rents, vacancies and market data from the external independent valuers, Newsec Advise AB, in terms of direct return levels and operation and maintenance costs.
The properties are inspected on an ongoing basis. All of the properties have been inspected within the past three years. The purpose is to assess the standard and condition of the properties and the attractiveness of the commercial premises.
When valuing properties using the yield capitalization method, each property is valued individually by calculating the present value of anticipated future cash flows, that is, future rent payments less estimated operating and maintenance payments, as well as the residual value in year ten or fifteen depending on if it is an older property or a newly constructed property. Estimated rent payments, as well as operating and maintenance payments have been derived from actual income and costs. Cash flow is marketadjusted by taking into account any changes in the letting ratio
and letting levels, operating and maintenance payments, as well as market-based levels of the cost of capital and direct return requirements. All cash flow calculations are based on a long term rate of inflation of 2 percent (the Riksbank's inflation target). In the year, short-term inflation was adjusted down to between 1.0 and 1.5 percent to correspond to actual market expectations.
Future rent levels for housing are based on current levels and potential rent increases in connection with investments and inflation. Rent levels for commercial contracts are estimated based on the current rent level including indexation, meaning that rent levels develop at the same rate as inflation expectations. Vacancies are assessed for each property based on the current vacancy status with a gradual adaptation to market based vacancies and individual conditions.
The assessment of disbursements for normal operations, maintenance and repairs, property tax, ground rent and property administration, has been made based on actual outcomes for the property concerned or for a property of similar design, as well as Newsec Advise AB's statistics and experience regarding comparable objects. The assessment has been made taking into account the properties' purpose, age and maintenance status. Disbursements for operations, administration and maintenance are expected to increase in line with assumed rate of inflation.
The property's investment needs are assessed based on any maintenance plans, the condition of the property and projects that are planned or in progress.
The properties' direct return requirements have been assessed on the basis of each property's unique risk, which can be broken down into two parts – general market risk and a specific property risk. The market risk is linked to general economic developments and is influenced by, among other things, how investors prioritize between different asset classes and financing opportunities. The specific property risk is influenced by the location of the property, the type of property, the standard of the premises, the quality of the installations, the type of tenants and the nature of the contract.
The cost of capital corresponds to the interest rate that the owner of the property expects on capital tied to the property. The interest rate requirement is based on experiential assessments of the market's interest rate requirements for similar properties, which is, in practice, derived by adjusting the assessed direct return requirements to inflation.
For the completed investment properties, the return requirements on the valuation units included vary from 3.52 percent to 6.75 percent, with a total weighted average of 4.08 percent (4.25) and, for project properties valued in advance, from 3.54 percent to 4.60 percent, with a weighted average of 3.96 percent (4.02). It is primarily the distribution between categories of space (housing/ commercial premises) and geographical aspects that cause the return requirement to vary. For completed investment properties, the average cost of capital applied for the period was 6.07 percent (6.28) and, for project properties valued in advance, it was 5.97 percent (6.08).
The residual value comprises the operating surplus during the remaining economic life of the asset, which is based on the year following the last year calculated. Residual value is calculated for each property through perpetual capitalization of the estimated market operating surplus and the estimated market operating direct return requirement for each property. The return requirement comprises the risk-free interest rate and each property's unique risk. The cost of capital/discount rate is used to discount the residual value of the properties to present value.
The location price method is based on market analyses of conveyances of properties that could be considered comparable. The method means that the assessment is made applying prices paid for similar properties on a free and open market. The comparison should take into account the change in value between the transfer of the property and the timing of the valuation. The location price method is used primarily to support the yield capitalization method.
All property valuations are estimates of the value an external investor is willing to pay for the property or the portfolio of properties at a given time. The values of the properties can only be ascertained with certainty in connection with a transaction between two independent parties.
The completed investment properties and investment properties under construction are generally posted as collateral for loans and construction credits for financing those. During 2020, interest expenses on construction credits of SEK 21.2 million (12.5) was capitalized on investment properties. As of 31 December 2020, the average interest rate on capitalized interest expenses was 1.99 percent (1.92).

In 2019, the property Osby Osby 186:1 was reclassified from an investment property to a business property, as it is estimated that just over 50 percent of the total floor space is used for operations in proprietary premises and the utilized floor space is thereby considered to comprise more than an insignificant proportion of the building's total floor space. As a result of the reclassification, the property is recognized in accordance with IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment on the basis of a valuation at cost.

The tax expense in the Income Statement consists primarily of current tax (see Note 13 Tax on profit for the year) and deferred tax. The current tax has been calculated in accordance with the applicable tax rate in Sweden 21.4 percent. In June 2018, the Riksdag (Swedish parliament) decided to reduce the corporate tax rate from 22 percent in two stages. The corporate tax rate was first lowered to 22 percent to 21.4 percent and this applies to financial years commencing 1 January 2019 or later. In step two, the corporate tax rate will be lowered to 20.6 percent as of the financial year commencing 1 January 2021. The Group has made an asessment of the period in which the deferred tax will be settled and has applied the tax rate applicable for that period. In essence, the tax is expected to be settled in 2021 or at some point thereafter, which is why the deferred tax has been assessed at 20.6 percent. As of 31 December 2020, deferred tax pertaining to properties has been reassessed, resulting in one-off positive effect of SEK 4.7 million (0.6).
All loss carry-forwards in the Group have been capitalized with deferred tax receivables. There is no time limitation for utilizing the Group's loss carry-forwards.

K-Fastigheter's overarching goal is to generate value for the company's shareholders. Over a business cycle, value creation is measured as growth in long-term net asset value per share.
K-Fastigheter's finance policy stipulates how the financial activities are to be conducted where operations are regulated, and is followed up on the basis of clearly defined targets and risk levels with respect to currency risk, interest-rate risk, financing risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
The finance policy serves to define uniform guidelines and frameworks for the financial activities that arise within the Group in connection with borrowing, debt management and liquidity management. These guidelines are to form the basis for effective control and the cost-efficient management of financial flows and risks, while achieving the Group's financial targets.
The finance policy shall be revised and approved annually and any deviations from finance policy guidelines shall be decided by the Board of Directors.
At an overarching level, the Group's financial risk is limited by means of a sound capital structure and a stable and positive cash flow, which, over time, secures the Group's short and long-term capital supply.
To achieve a sound capital structure and a stable and positive cash flow, the Board of Directors has set the following financial targets:
relative the market value of the Group's investment properties
These financial targets also correspond to the so-called financial covenants that the Group is obliged to monitor and report under existing loan agreements.
Currency risk refers to the risk of negative impacts on the Group's cash flow, Income Statement and Balance Sheet as a result of changes in exchange rates.
The Group's operations are conducted in Sweden and Denmark and use SEK as their functional currency. The Group primarily manages exchange rate exposure by natural matching of assets and liabilities, and income and expenses, in the same currency, and through financial instruments.

Interest-rate risk refers to the risk that changes in market interest rates will have negative effects on net interest expenses and profit, and the risk of locking-in interest expenses that are too high relative to the market for long periods, thus reducing the possibility of compensating for adverse events in profit and tax.
The Group manages interest-rate risk by setting target levels for average fixed interest and for the share of variable interest in the loan portfolio as a whole. Interest rate derivatives are used to adjust the period of fixed interest. Furthermore, ongoing dialogue is conducted primarily with the banks' interest analysts to monitor the interest market.
As of 31 December 2020, the average period of fixed interest was 3.8 years (3.3) and the interest rate sensitivity in the event of a 1 percentage point shift in the loan rates amounted to SEK 12.4 million (11.2). As a percentage of the total debt portfolio, variable interest accounted for 39 percent (48). At the end of the year, the average interest rate amounted to 1.77 percent (1.90) including interest-rate derivatives and to 1.41 percent (1.62) excluding interest-rate derivatives.
(Re)financing means the risk that the Group will not be able to refinance its loans when desired, will not be able to secure new financing in the market when needs arise (at any given time) or that refinancing would entail a significant increase in the Group's borrowing expenses.
The (re)financing risk is managed through diversification of the total debt portfolio with financially stable counterparties and with varying maturities. Target levels are set for the minimum number of banks, maximum size and minimum rating per bank, maximum percentage with a maturity of less than 12 months and average capital tied up. At the end of the year, the average capital tied up was 2.6 years (3.2) and 25 percent (9) of the loans matured within 12 months.
At the end of the year, the Group had loan agreements with credit institutions totaling SEK 4,820.6 million (3.239.7), of which SEK 90.0 million (90.0) constituted overdraft facilities and covered loans and SEK 1.585.5 million (817.8) constituted construction credits. The remaining credit agreement, for SEK 3,145.1 million (2,331.9), consists of bilateral agreements with Swedish banks with the aim of financing the Group's completed investment and business properties. Of credit agreements for financing of the Group's completed investment and business properties, credits for a total SEK 781.1 million (322.0) expired during 2020, credits K-Fastigheter believes it will be possible to renegotiate or extend due to the Group's good relationship with its partner banks despite the current market conditions. Net interest-bearing liabilities relating to completed investment and business properties amounted to SEK 2,709.0 million (1,593.0) at the end of the year.
Existing loan agreements with credit institutions contain financial
conditions (covenants) stipulating maximum loan-to value ratio, minimum equity/assets ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. K-Fastigheter has fulfilled these conditions at all follow-up events in 2020.
Future liquidity attributable to credit is shown below. When calculating credits, as well as the variable legs in the interest rate swaps, the Stibor rate as of the Balance Sheet date has been applied. Outstanding loan liabilities and credit margin have been assumed to be the same as of the Balance Sheet date up to respective maturity, when are assumed to have been repaid.

Liquidity risk refers to the risk of not being able to fulfil payment commitments on maturity, without expenses for securing liquidity increasing significantly.
The liquidity risk is managed through appropriate payment flow systems and credit facilities and loan pledges from the partner banks, and by setting a target level for the minimum level in the liquidity reserve. In addition, a monthly cash flow forecast is prepared and reported.
At the end of the year, the Group's cash reserves amounted to SEK 507.6 million (779.0). In addition, there is an unutilized overdraft facility of SEK 90.0 million (90.0).
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty or issuer is unable to fulfil its commitments to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk through holdings of derivative instruments (if these have a positive value) and surplus liquidity that is invested. Credit risk also occurs in relation to rent receivables and accounts receivable, as well as other receivables.
Credit risk is managed by setting a minimum creditworthiness for the Group's counterparties (ascribed rating or credit control), which is done when signing an agreement and then on an ongoing basis for larger commitments.
For the maturity structure of interest-bearing liabilities see under "Interest-rate risk" above. Other operating liabilities fall due for payment as below. Liabilities to Group and associated companies are recognized as non-current unless regulated by a fixed repayment plan.

With regard to long-term debt, K-Fastigheter assesses that there is no significant difference between fair value and carrying amounts.
All long-term and short-term interest-bearing liabilities accrue variable interest.
Derivatives are valued at fair value in the Balance Sheet and according to IFRS fair value hierarchy Level 2.
Accounts receivable are recognized at the amount expected to be received. All overdue accounts receivable exceeding 30 days have been assessed individually in terms of loss risk. Impairments are applied for uncertain accounts receivable. See also Note 24 Expected credit losses.

The Group's profit for 2020 has been charged with SEK 1.9 million (0.3) in confirmed customer losses. The receivables are current in nature, which means that recognized amounts correspond to fair value.
In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has impaired assets valued at amortized cost to reflect expected credit losses.
Impairment has been effected according to the two methods defined in IFRS 9, the simplified method and the general method respectively. Both of these methods specify the stages used to classify the assets based on credit risk. The choice of method depends on which type of financing asset is intended.
The simplified method is used for accounts receivable and rental claims. Customers- and rental claims due 0-90 days are classified as stage 2, while accounts receivable overdue by over 90 days are classified as a stage 3. Expected credit losses are calculated on the basis of the asset term.
For the simplified method, a loss-sharing model is used based on historical data on all claims in the stage 2. An average value has been calculated on customer losses recorded during the past five years (2016-2020). This percentage has then been adjusted for known future invoices in the form of management's assessment of increased risk for future credit losses. The adjustment has taken into account the impact due to the Covid-19 pandemic, increased activity in the construction and rental business, and a increased proportion of older apartments in the property holding. This has resulted in total reserves of SEK 0.8 million (0.2) as of 31 December 2020.
For the accounts receivable in stage 3 (overdue over 90 days) individual tests have been made for each claim. This has resulted in one total reserve of SEK 0.0 million (0.5) as of 31 December 2020.
The general method is used for other financial assets (receivables from other companies, associated companies and jointly controlled companies, and cash and cash equivalents). For the general method, a rating model is used. Expected loan losses have been calculated over 12 months for stage 1 receivables, and on the term of the assets for receivables in stage 2 and stage 3.
Regarding receivables from other companies, associated companies and jointly controlled companies, credit ratings are established if possible. If credit ratings cannot be determined, for example if the requisite information about the companies is unavailable, the S&P rating B is assigned. Loss given default is assumed to be 45 percent in line with Basel II's guidelines for exposure for non-financial companies. This has resulted in a reserve of SEK 2.5 million (0.2).
Regarding cash and cash equivalents, credit ratings are obtained from the respective bank's website. Default rates are taken from S&P. Loss given default is assumed to be 45 percent in line with Basel II's guidelines for exposure for non-financial companies. This has resulted in a reserve of SEK 0.0 million (0.0).

To manage the interest rate risk (see Note 22 Financial risks and finance policies) the Group utilizes interest-rate derivatives. Over time, value changes arise in the interest rate derivative portfolio, primarily due to changed market interest rates. In the Balance Sheet, derivative instruments are reported at fair value as current or non-current assets or liabilities (IFRS fair value hierarchy Level 2) based on the term of the derivative, even where no amount is to be settled in cash.
On the closing date, the fair value of the derivative portfolio was negative in the amount of SEK 27.2 million (-12.8).

In connection with an acquisition, an assessment is made to determine whether the transaction relates to a business combination or an acquisition of assets. Business combinations are defined in accordance with IFRS 3, which means that acquired assets and liabilities shall comprise independent operations/business activity. When an acquisition takes place of a group of assets or net assets that do not comprise operations/ business activity, it is classified as an asset acquisition. Most of K-Fastigheter's completed acquisitions comprise asset acquisitions.
For a review of business combinations completed in 2020 and after the end of the year, see below. Otherwise, please refer to Note 1 Accounting principles.
There were no business combinations in 2020.
On 1 December 2020, K-Fastigheter signed an agreement with Finja AB regarding K-Fastigheters' acquisition of 100 percent of the shares in Finja Prefab AB and Prefabfastigheter AB (the owner of the business properties relating to Finja Prefab AB's operations). On 1 January 2021, K-Fastigheter took possession of Finja Prefab AB and Prefabfastigheter AB.
Finja Prefab AB is a nationwide producer of prefabricated concrete elements and a full-service frame contractor with a product range of wall panels, foundations, floor structures and balconies. Finja Prefab was founded in 1957 and has some 550 employees at seven production plants and three offices, from Vellinge in the south of Sweden to Stockholm in the north. In 2020, sales amounted to SEK 881.4 million. The strategic acquisition secured K-Fastigheter's access to key components for the continued construction of its
concept buildings in several locations around Sweden and Denmark. As part of K-Fastigheter, Finja Prefab AB continues to strengthen its position as a leading partner for Swedish construction companies and to develop its successful sustainability work.

The acquisition of Finja Prefab AB and Prefabfastigheter AB gave rise to preliminary goodwill of SEK 480.9 million in the form of the difference between the transferred remuneration and the fair value of the acquired net assets. Goodwill mainly relates to expected positive profit effects in the form of lower costs for prefabricated concrete elements and frame construction in connection with K-Fastigheter's construction of concept buildings and more efficient production planning and product development in Finja Prefab AB. Goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible and has been classified as preliminary, as no definitive completion accounts have been produced at the time of publication of this report and the distribution of amounts is being reviewed. Direct transaction fees related to the acquisition of Finja Prefab AB and Prefabfastigheter AB amounts preliminary to SEK 0.4 million. K-Fastigheter will present continuous updates with more information in its reporting during the year.

Our audit report was submitted on 13 April 2021
Ernst & Young AB
Stefan Svensson
Authorized Public Accountant
To the General Meeting of the shareholders of K-Fast Holding AB (publ), Corp. ID No. 556827- 0390.
We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of K-Fast Holding AB (publ) except for the corporate governance statement on pages 48–61 for the year 2020. The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included on pages 63–119 in this document.
In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31st of December 2020 and its financial performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31st of December 2020 and their financial performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. Our opinions do not cover the corporate governance statement on pages 48–61. The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
We therefore recommend that the general meeting of shareholders adopts the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group.
Our opinions in this report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are consistent with the content of the
The fair value of the Group's investment properties reported in the Statement of Financial Position per 31 December 2020 amounted to SEK 6 853,5 million. The valuations are made through discounted future cash flows, with consideration from local price analyses. In accordance with information in Note 17, page 100–102 a portion of the properties were valued externally and internally per 31 December 2020. The properties' direct return requirements are assessed on the basis of each property's unique risk and transactions made in the market for objects of a similar nature. In view of the many assumptions and assessments made in connection with the valuation of investment properties, we believe that this area is to be considered of particular importance in our audit. A description of the valuation of the property holdings is shown in the Annual Report under Note 1 page 88–89, Note 2 page 93 and Note 17 page 100–102.
In our audit, we have evaluated and examined the internal and external property valuation process by, among other things, evaluating the valuation method and input for the valuations. We have evaluated the skills and objectivity of the external experts.
With the support of our internal property valuation specialists, we have examined a sample of the property valuations and assessed the reasonableness of assumptions made, such as direct return requirements, vacancy rates, rental income and operating costs, and made comparisons to known market information. The internal valuation specialists work has mainly included a reasonableness assessment of the most significant assumptions such as yield requirements and future rental levels as well as an assessment of the final market value. The sample has been made based on risk criteria and size. We have discussed important assumptions and assessments with valuation managers and the entity's management.
For a sample of investment properties, we have examined inputs on revenue and operating expenses and calculations in the valuations at the property level. We have reviewed supplementary disclosures made in the Annual Report.
additional report that has been submitted to the parent company's audit committee in accordance with the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 11.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (ISA) and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities section. We are independent of the parent company and the group in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance

with these requirements. This includes that, based on the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided to the audited company or, where applicable, its parent company or its controlled companies within the EU.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
Key audit matters of the audit are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of, and in forming our opinion thereon, the annual accounts and consolidated accounts as a whole, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
This document also contains other information than the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and is found on pages 1–61 and 124–150. The remuneration report for the financial year 2020 also constitutes other information. The Board of Directors and the
Managing Director are responsible for this other information.
Our opinion on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts does not cover this other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion regarding this other information.
In connection with our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, our responsibility is to read the information identified above and consider whether the information is materially inconsistent with the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. In this procedure we also take into account our knowledge otherwise obtained in the audit and assess whether the information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If we, based on the work performed concerning this information, conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the remuneration report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter with the Board of Directors and require a correction.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and that they give a fair presentation in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and, concerning the consolidated accounts, in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the assessment of the company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern. They disclose, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of going concern of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is however not applied if the Board of Directors and the Managing Director intends to liquidate the company, to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee shall, without prejudice to the Board of Director's responsibilities and tasks in general, among other things oversee the company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
INTRODUCTION | A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO | OPERATIONS | MARKET OVERVIEW | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | FINANCIAL REPORTS | AUDITOR'S REPORT SUSTAINABILITY AND GENERATING VALUE | RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT | RECONCILIATION TABLE AND DEFINITIONS | THE SHARE AND SHAREHOLDERS
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our opinions.
We must inform the Board of Directors of, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit. We must also inform of significant audit findings during our audit, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identified.
We must also provide the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or related safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, including the most important assessed risks for material misstatement, and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in the auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes disclosure about the matter.
In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also audited the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of K-Fast Holding AB
(publ) for the year 2020 and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss.
We recommend to the general meeting of shareholders that the profit be appropriated (loss be dealt with) in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year.
We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities section. We are independent of the parent company and the group in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company's profit or loss. At the proposal of a dividend, this includes an assessment of whether the dividend is justifiable considering the requirements which the company's and the group's type of operations, size and risks place on the size of the parent company's and the group's equity, consolidation requirements, liquidity and position in general.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the company's organization and the administration of the company's affairs. This includes among other things continuous assessment of the company's and the group's financial situation and ensuring that the company's organization is designed so that the accounting, management of assets and the company's financial affairs otherwise are controlled in a reassuring manner. The Managing Director shall manage the ongoing administration according to the Board of Directors' guidelines and instructions and among other matters take measures that are necessary to fulfill the company's accounting in accordance with law and handle the management of assets in a reassuring manner.
Our objective concerning the audit of the administration, and thereby our opinion about discharge from liability, is to obtain audit evidence to assess with a reasonable degree of assurance whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director in any material respect:
Our objective concerning the audit of the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and thereby our opinion about this, is to assess with reasonable degree of assurance whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect actions or omissions that can give rise to liability to the company, or that the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss are not in accordance with the Companies Act.
As part of an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. The examination of the administration and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss is based primarily on the audit of the accounts. Additional audit procedures performed are based on our professional judgment with starting point in risk and materiality. This means that we focus the examination on such actions, areas and relationships that are material for the operations and where deviations and violations would have particular importance for the company's situation. We examine and test decisions undertaken, support for decisions, actions taken and other circumstances that are relevant to our opinion concerning discharge from liability. As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors' proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss we examined whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.
The Board of Directors is responsible for that the corporate governance statement on pages 48–61 has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
Our examination of the corporate governance statement is conducted in accordance with FAR's auditing standard RevR 16 The auditor's examination of the corporate governance statement. This means that our examination of the corporate governance statement is different and substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. We believe that the examination has provided us with sufficient basis for our opinions.
A corporate governance statement has been prepared. Disclosures in accordance with chapter 6 section 6 the second paragraph points 2-6 of the Annual Accounts Act and chapter 7 section 31 the second paragraph the same law are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and are in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
Ernst & Young AB, P.O. Box 7850, SE-103 99 Stockholm, Sweden, was appointed auditor of K-Fast Holding AB (publ) by the general meeting of the shareholders on the 19th of May 2020 and has been the company's auditor since the 4th of January 2017.

Sustainability is integrated into K-Fastigheter's operations and the Group's work is mainly governed by its Code of Conduct, which is based on UN Global Compact, and policy documents, which shadow the Group's business concept, goals and other policies to ensure that operations are conducted in a long-term sustainable manner.
The Sustainability Report also includes K-Fastigheter's business model on page 16, and a description of risks, how these are analyzed and managed on page 135. For information relating to responsibility and limitations of the Sustainability Report, please refer to the companys website, k-fastigheter.com. K-Fastigheter's Sustainability Report follows the financial year and is published annually. The Report has not been subject to third-party review.
Sustainability is integrated into K-Fastigheter's operations and the Group's work is mainly governed by its Code of Conduct, which is based on UN Global Compact and policy documents, which shadow the Group' business concept, goals and other policies to ensure that operations are conducted in a long-term sustainable manner.
The Board holds ultimate responsibility for K-Fastigheter's sustainability agenda and the continuous sustainability work. K-Fastigheter's CEO delegates operational responsibility to each business area manager. For development and support, the company has established a steering committee consisting of K-Fastigheter's CEO, deputy CEO, HR Director and IR and Communication Manager. K-Fastigheter's collaborative model is an important prerequisite for achieving the intended results.
In 2020, K-Fastigheter's Board and management developed a new and clearer plan for the Group's sustainability work. The starting point for the framework determined by the Board for the Group's work comprises the 17 global sustainability targets in UN's Agenda 2030 and other significant issues from the perspective of K-Fastigheter's stakeholders. The framework also includes overarching goals and indicators for measuring the Group's work in the areas where K-Fastigheter is currently deemed to be able to have the greatest effect and social impact, with the aim of benefiting the Group's stakeholders. Read more about target follow-up and K-Fastigheter's contribution to the UN's 2030 Agenda on page 129.
For K-Fastigheter's wholly-owned subsidiaries the same sustainability governance and goals apply as for K-Fast Holding AB. For the sustainability work carried out in associated companies, see the relevant companies' websites.
The Group updates its assessment of the key sustainability issues from a stakeholder perspective annually. From 2020, the Group's stakeholders have expanded to include more capital markets operators, mainly new shareholders following the IPO in 2019. The assessment is that the expectations on K-Fastigheter's sustainability work have increased slightly, and that reporting of goals set and measures implemented will also increase.
K-Fastigheter's main stakeholders are its employees and collaboration partners, tenants and the capital markets. K-Fastigheter's stakeholder dialog focuses on charting key stakeholders' perception of operations from a sustainability perspective, the conditions applying to existing operations, and how the various units work with planning and achieving set goals. Interviews and surveys, and dialog with the company's staff, management and Board have been used to collate views from stakeholders such as shareholders, lenders, collaboration partners and employees.

From 1 January 2021, Finja Prefab AB's operations are included in the K-Fastigheter Group. Finja Prefab AB has published the company's sustainability report on its website, finjaprefab.se.
In 2021, K-Fastigheter will sign Global Compact, the UN's international principles aimed at companies relating to human right, labor law, the environment and anti-corruption. The principles are based on the UN's Declaration of Human Rights, ILO's fundamental conventions regarding human rights in the workplace, The Rio declaration and the UN's anticorruption convention.

K-Fastigheter wants to ensure that the Group's work contributes to sustainable development both locally and globally. The UN's 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) aim to eliminate extreme poverty, reduce inequality and injustice, promote peace and justice and solve the climate crisis.
All the UN's 17 SDG's are important, but as an individual company, K-Fastigheter cannot to solve the challenges the UN describes as critical to sustainable development. K-Fastigheter can and wants to make a contribution where we believe we can achieve the best results, and Group management has chosen to focus on the goals where K-Fastigheter can have the greatest impact today and which are relevant to the company's stakeholders.
Our motivation for the goals we have identified is outlined in more detail below. The goals are updated when required.
Goal 3 - The Group has a clear regulatory framework and has implemented measures to ensure that all workplaces are secure from a physical and psychological perspective. Among other things, the Group offers occupational healthcare, contributions for wellness activities, as well as efforts to prevent and treat drug abuse, including narcotics and harmful alcohol use.
Goal 5 - For K-Fastigheter, this goal primarily means that we want to create a working environment providing equal terms and opportunities for leadership at all decision levels.
Goal 7 - K-Fastigheter has a clear ambition to increase the proportion of renewable and recycled energy, which includes purchasing, both for our tenants and our production facilities.
Goal 8 - Decent working conditions and financial growth is the basis for all of K-Fastigheter's operations. Our most important task as an employer is to foster a safe and secure working environment for our employees. Regardless of whether they work in offices, production facilities or in our properties, we will continuously safeguard a working environment that is as favorable as possible. This is because we are convinced that skills development, safety and good working conditions are crucial for job satisfaction and commitment, which is benefits our tenants.
Goal 11 - Inclusive and innovative urban planning is needed to make cities safe, secure and sustainable for the future. This is the essence of K-Fastigheter, and something we work on every day to achieve. We build secure, safe and cost-efficient housing to fosterfreedom of choice and opportunities for more people.
Goal 12 - Several of the sub-goals form natural elements in K-Fastigheter's day-to-day operations and are included at all stages of production. Managing and reducing the amount of waste and inputs, such as chemicals, is a continuous process that makes us more cost-effective and competitive.
Goal 13 – When K-Fastigheter develops neighborhoods, measures are analyzed and integrated to manage the effects of climate change, such as collaborations with suppliers intended to reduce the impact on the environment and climate, including choice of manufacturing methods, transports and waste management.
Goal 15 – When K-Fastigheter plans new residential buildings and neighborhoods, the existing natural environment at the site is carefully considered.
Green areas are sought after by tenants, and the Group strives to reinstate/improve habitats after a construction project has been completed.

K-Fastigheter's long-term perspective is fundamental to the Group's sustainability work. Our overarching goal is to create great homes that many people can enjoy. We want tenants to be able to create safe and secure homes and to thrive and develop in our properties. This relates to our buildings and the neighborhood as a whole, including workplaces, traffic solutions and the natural environment, which
together form positive and inclusive residential neighborhoods.
K-Fastigheter strives to construct its buildings with sustainable materials to create sustainable neighborhoods, and to contribute to a circular economy. A sustainable building entails so much more than energy efficiency. Buildings are to be produced in financially and environmentally viable ways and work well from a social perspective, now and in the future. It should be possible to use our concept buildings, and for them to remain functional, for many generations. The estimated life span is about 100 years, meaning that the architecture, materials and construction methods we use today should be well-liked and should last for a very long time. In addition, even at the planning stage, we are already considering how it should be easy to conduct coming renovations and that the buildings can be adapted to shifting future needs.
The choice of concept building is the basis for a long-term sustainable economy. Although each site is unique, we can reuse experiences and solutions from previous projects, making the construction process more familiar and effective. Combined with well-established materials, this makes construction faster and safer than for the average project. Our familiarity with the details of the
building's infrastructure means allows us to minimize waste and optimize property management of the completed building.
Alongside our tenants, employees and collaboration partners, K-Fastigheter works to realize solutions that contribute to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and other factors with a negative climate impact in parallel with the goals of improving quality and costefficiency over time.
The construction and property industry generates a high proportion of society's overall environmental impact. According to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, the sector represents some 10 to 30 percent of the environmental impact in Sweden in the areas measured in its environmental indicators. In addition, the sector contributes to emissions in other countries through imports of construction products. Operators in the construction and property industry have a significant opportunity to influence climate emissions from buildings from a life cycle perspective, for example by measures introduced in materials production, transport, energy, heating, waste and construction requirement.

K-Fastigheter's proprietary concept buildings are constructed with the ambition of meeting requirements corresponding to those set by the Swedish Environmental Building Silver standard in terms of energy, indoor environment and chemicals.
The fact that K-Fastigheter constructs concept buildings provides the conditions for optimal resource utilization and safeguards both a high level of quality, as well as a favorable working environment. By using a standardized process in proprietary production facilities, consumption of materials, logistics and other resources can be planned in detail, reducing waste, emissions and inventories while also streamlining flows and lowering costs in areas that do not create value.
K-Fastigheter's construction uses quality materials that are sustainable in the long term. The Group's Low-Rise buildings are constructed with wooden frames, while the core of the Lateral Low-Rise and Apartment Block buildings is concrete, a proven material that is durable and safe, with favorable climate characteristics, but that consists largely of concrete, which is energy intensive in its production. Efforts are underway to reduce the environmental impact of concrete production, including reusing concrete from demolished buildings and replacing a proportion of concrete with slag cement.
By building prefabricated construction elements of concrete and wood from its own production facilities, K-Fastigheter is able to control the
Concrete is a durable material with a long life span . A concrete building is usually constructed with a life span of 100 years. During its lifespan, the finished concrete element absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. Approximately one fifth of the CO2 released during concrete manufacture can be returned to the concrete. A concrete building has a limited need for maintenance, compared to wooden structures, for example. The long lifespan and minimal maintenance need must be taken into account when assessing the climate impact of a building.
process. Building indoors frees the process from interruptions caused by weather. Another advantage of prefabricated manufacturing methods is more optimized products requiring smaller quantities of materials, helping reduce the number of shipments of building materials, while making it easier to handle the waste that always arises during production. The production time can also be reduced by half compared with cores molded on-site, which also means that the first tenants can move into their new homes significantly earlier than with comparable site-built structures.
On 1 August 2020, new regulations were introduced governing the management of construction and demolition waste. K-Fastigheter satisfies the requirements for removing certain types of waste and storing this waste separately from certain other kinds of waste and from general waste. The purpose of this requirement is to rise higher in the waste hierarchy to improve preparation procedures for reuse and materials recycling.
K-Fastigheter reports emissions data for 2020 for Scope 1, data from the company's vehicles, based on standardized calculations of actual consumption. In 2020, the consumption equalled 111 metric tons of CO2 .
From 2019, all electricity in K-Fastigheter's properties is derived from fossil-free production.
Indirectly, the Group's operations also contribute to other emissions, for example at supplier level in connection with concrete manufacture and transport of materials to K-Fastigheter's construction sites.
K-Fastigheter does not conduct operations requiring permits according to the Swedish Environmental Code. However, refrigerants must be reported. The Group's tenants may conduct operations that require permits or notice. In 2020, K-Fastigheter recorded no breaches of environmental legislation or related regulations.

All three of K-Fastigheter's concept buildings, as well as apartments upgraded in accordance with K-Fast 2.0, are constructed with an attractive and sustainable selection of materials and surfaces to create pleasant and sustainable living environments. All of the homes are, for example, equipped with kitchen worktops and window sills in stone and with energy-efficient appliances, including a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and built-in microwave as standard.
K-Fastigheter has developed a proprietary concept that the Group applies in raising the standard of the older apartments in its holdings. K-Fast 2.0 safeguards the quality and durability of vital building infrastructure, such as wiring, plumbing and other types of technical installations. Surfaces and equipment are also adapted so that the long-term operating costs can be minimized in a way that meets the tenants' expectations of a modern living environment.
By using the same selection of materials as for our newly-produced buildings, we also generate increased volumes and better negotiating conditions for our procurement organization.
Demand for fossil-free energy is increasing, and K-Fastigheter participates in this trend by installing photovoltaic cells on suitable properties. From the second quarter 2021, photovoltaic cells will be installed on all new build Lateral Low-Rise buildings and Apartment Blocks. Another example is K-Fastigheter's new production facility in Hässleholm, which is self-sufficient in energy from renewable sources.
Full portfolio
To limit K-Fastigheter's long-term environmental impact and to keep property management costs down, the concept buildings have been designed to minimize energy consumption. The concept buildings are included in the B energy class according to classification from September 2020, and K-Fastigheter's concept buildings have, on average, 35 percent lower energy consumption than the Group's acquired properties.
When procuring electricity, the Group chooses, as far as possible, suppliers offering electricity from renewable sources, primarily wind and hydropower.

K-Fastigheter takes a structured approach to its financing, mainly through conventional bank loans. The loan-to-assets ratio and mix of financial instruments contributes to good value growth for shareholders while safeguarding financial stability. The Group's financial reports are presented in the Directors' Report on pages 63–72.
K-Fastigheter aims to support its employees' long-term development, on the basis of individual needs, the company's operations and in line with future market needs. Employees who enjoy going to work every day are fundamental to the Group's success and health, wellness and continued training also play an important role in the terms of employment.
Compliance with and awareness of the Group's Code of Conduct and other policies is reviewed annually and has been included
in the company's internal training program. The content of these documents is also reviewed annually, to ensure it corresponds to the company's operations and key issues.
It is K-Fastigheter's objective that no workplace accidents should occur and the Group works preventively to minimize risks in and around the working environment.
An important part of K-Fastigheter's sustainability work is to encourage employees and other representatives, both internally and externally, to behave in a manner compatible with K-Fastigheter's fundamental values. Accordingly, K-Fastigheter has introduced a number of policy documents, including a Code of Conduct that addresses areas such as sustainability, anticorruption, business ethics and a Whistleblower Policy.
Our employees play an important role in sounding the alarm if they suspect illegal activities or other regulatory breaches, or activities that run contrary to K-Fastigheter's ethical guidelines. This gives us the opportunity to prevent such behaviors and to take remedial measures if something has gone awry. Our employees (including hired staff) can report potential departures confidentially through an independent whistleblower function.
K-Fastigheter's business system/intranet is intended to facilitate internal communication and a proportion of administration, and increase engagement on Group-wide issues such as sustainability.
In 2020, no cases of corruption were reported, and no breaches of legislation or regulations.

K-Fastigheter believes that everyone, regardless of gender, ethnic background, religion or other beliefs, sexual orientation, age, cross-gender identity or functional disability should be able to participate in working life on equal terms. It is important that the equal value of all individuals is respected. K-Fastigheter does not see differences, and focuses on the person. Their results are what count. Accordingly, K-Fastigheter has adopted a gender equality policy with an associated plan of action for achieving equal rights and opportunities for all employees.
As of 31 December 2020, K-Fastigheter had 76 employees, of which 21 were women and 55 men. 28 employees are party to collective agreements. In 2020, no incidences of discrimination were reported.

K-Fastigheter collaborates with various parties to create the conditions necessary for tenants to feel at home. This includes providing clear information about agreements and other terms, rapid feedback in the event of any faults in the home or its surroundings, and cooperation with parties such as the municipality, other property companies or local associations to increase engagement, service and security in the area.
We attach great importance to safety and well-being in and around our properties and therefore sponsor youth activities and safety-building initiatives where we can find common ground for objectives and implementation. On this basis, K-Fastigheter contributes financially or with other resources.
A few examples are K-Fastigheter's partnership with OV Helsingborg HK in a Handball School for all (HFA), a partnership that includes handball training, homework support and other social activities for children aged 7–10 and living in vulnerable areas of Helsingborg. More information about HFA: https://ovhelsingborg. myclub.se
We believe that community and an understanding of other people's circumstances are important for generating secure neighborhoods, as well as engendering self-respect and respect for the surrounding community. Through a partnership with Dandelion, K-Fastigheter participates in a project for under-privileged children in South Africa. More information about Dandelion: http://www.dandelionchild.nu/?lang=en
In 2020, K-Fastigheter initiated a collaboration with the foundation Her House. The aim is to provide women better conditions for finding safe housing after leaving a women's shelter. When women
who have lived in Swedish women's shelters are ready to return to independent accommodation, a shortage of housing can a problem. More information about Her House can be found at: www.herhouse.se.

Finja Prefab AB was incorporated in K-Fastigheter as of 1 January 2021. Sustainability is high on Finja Prefab's daily agenda. The company is certified according to ISO 14001:2015, participates in the work towards achieving a fossil-free construction industry an takes active responsibility for ensuring a climate-neutral construction industry by 2045.
Finja Prefab has produced a route map towards offering its customers climate-positive concrete frames, and complies with climate-neutral standard ISO 14021, which means that the company offsets 100 percent of its CO2 emissions. Finja Prefab offsets its climate footprint through a biogas project certified according to the UN's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). In order to offer climate positive frames, the company offsets a further 15 percent of the CO2 emitted.
K-Fastigheter's operations may be affected, directly or indirectly, by a number of risks and external factors, which, individually or in combination, may have a negative impact on the Group's current and future earnings and financial position.
K-Fastigheter's management systematically identifies and evaluates the Group's material risks. The risks are categorized as strategic, operational and financial, and compliance-related risks. For risks that are considered to have a relatively high probability of occurrence combined with a relatively large impact on the Group, an individual within the Group has been assigned responsibility for these and an action plan has been drawn up. Each quarter, these action plans where the risks are managed through mitigating, exporting and eliminating measures, are reviewed by Group management and a report is presented to the Board by the Audit Committee.
In addition, the Board and management have produced a number of governance documents and policies, and a web-based control application. The aim is to establish a regulatory framework, provide information and facilitate communication with the Group's employees, and to facilitate regulatory compliance with the aim of mitigating, exporting or, as far as possible, eliminating potential risks in the operations.
These include strategic risks in the Group's governance, planning and resource allocation, market conditions, relations with the surrounding world and political factors.
In this area, the Group manages risks by, for example:
conducting an active dialog within management and between management and the Board
continuously supplementing, broadening and developing employees' skills
These include operational risks in the Group's Project Development, Construction and Property Management activities, as well as in HR and IT.
In this area, the Group manages risks by, for example:
and the risk of increased expenditure in the development and construction phases
These include risks involving the Group's property valuation, market risks, liquidity risks, accounting and reporting, capital structure and tax issues.
In this area, the Group manages risks by, for example:
Among other things, this encompasses the Group's compliance with ethical and legal rules, as well as with requirements regarding accounting and reporting.

In this area, the Group manages risks by, for example:
K-Fastigheter's operations are conducted as a relatively small organization with a limited number of key individuals, with the most central individual being the founder and CEO, Jacob Karlsson. For K-Fastigheter's employees, a strong driving force is that the Group has successfully built a strong corporate culture based on deep commitment, drive, mutual loyalty and a long-term approach.
The Group has, however, grown rapidly in recent years with the risk that K-Fastigheter's corporate culture could be exposed to stresses and become eroded, which could have consequences for the Group's future growth.
K-Fastigheter works actively with this risk by continuously fostering the corporate culture, both in daily life and by raising it as a strategic issue in the management team and on the Board of Directors, where the issue always has a special status. Furthermore, K-Fastigheter actively works to ensure short- and long-term recruitment supply, and to develop our staff and managers to remain an attractive employer.
In order for K-Fastigheter to be able to construct its concept
buildings, it needs access to suitable building rights on terms that the Group considers acceptable. In recent years, competition from operators developing both rental and tenant-owned apartments has been tangible. A shortage of suitable building rights would not affect the Group's current profit trend or financial position. Future potential growth could be seriously affected, however.
In K-Fastigheter's view, opportunities to acquire suitable building rights remain favorable. K-Fastigheter has now established operations in additional geographical markets and is now a more well-known and widely recognized operator because of the IPO which was completed in November 2019. The Group also has good financial and organizational opportunities to handle both larger and less developed building rights, which further reduces the risks.
In 2020, K-Fastigheter increased its holding of building rights from some 1,340 apartments at the beginning of the year to 3,880 apartments at the end.
The construction of a new property is a complicated process, often extending over several years. During the process, several events/risks may arise cause the partial or complete revaluation of the project. Such events include political decisions, decisions in the planning and building permit process, conditions at the construction site, availability of materials and labor.
K-Fastigheter works actively with the above risks by managing several parallel projects simultaneously (as of 31 December 2020 there were 20 projects under construction and 20 projects in project development in 15 locations), long-term and mutual cooperation with public authorities and suppliers and by primarily constructing the Group's concept buildings developed in-house, meaning that K-Fastigheter's construction projects are repetitive
and therefore time and cost-efficient. The financing of construction projects is also always secured before construction commences, either through loans having been approved or through sufficient cash and cash equivalents having been deemed to be available.
Rental income is affected by tenants' ability to pay, the letting ratio of the properties, as well as the possibility of charging market based rent. A reduction in the ability to pay or an increase in vacancies would entail a risk of reduced income and profit for the Group.

K-Fastigheter works with this risk actively by developing projects, constructing and actively owning and managing attractive, spaceefficient apartments that attract a broad customer base, in markets experiencing economic and demographic growth. Given existing demand for newly-produced housing and based on existing ability to pay in the markets where the Group operates, there appear to be good opportunities to continue developing the property portfolio in the future through new construction and by maintaining the agreed rent levels on existing properties.
Historically, vacancy levels in the ongoing property management operations have been very low and, given the current economic climate and the relative attractiveness of the Group's housing, there are no signs that vacancies would increase significantly in the future. As of 31 December 2020, rental income from housing was approximately 86 percent of total rental income and commercial tenants were distributed over some 140 commercial contracts, with the largest tenant comprising approximately 3 percent of total contractual rental income and the 10 largest commercial tenants comprising approximately 8 percent of total contractual rental income.
Operating expenses primarily comprise tariff-linked expenses, such as expenses for electricity, cleaning, water and heating. Of K-Fastigheter's property portfolio, 79 percent was constructed after 2010 and the remainder is in good condition or will be renovated in future according to the K-Fast 2.0 program, which ensures continued low operating and maintenance costs.
K-Fastigheter recognizes investment properties at fair value and property value changes are recognized in the Income Statement. Historically, changes in the value of K-Fastigheter's properties have significantly impacted profit for the period/year. The value of a property is primarily affected by the trend in rental income, operating and maintenance expenses, investment needs and the market return requirement for comparable properties. A lower operating surplus due to increased vacancies or operating costs, or an increased return requirement, implies a downward adjustment of price. K-Fastigheter's stocks consist primarily of newlyconstructed and attractive housing situated in good micro-locations in growing towns and cities and several geographical markets, which, combined, reduces the risk of all parameters related to a property's valuation. Furthermore, K-Fastigheter values all properties on a quarterly basis in order to monitor market progress.
Interest expenses are the largest-single current expense in K-Fastigheter's operations.
K-Fastigheter works with interest rate risk partly by maintaining a good dialogue with all Swedish commercial banks to secure market-based loan terms and partly by reducing the interest rate risk by means of interest-rate derivatives. As of 31 December 2020, the proportion of variable interest in the loan portfolio amounted to 39 percent, and the average interest fixing period was 3.8 years. In the event of an increase in the market interest rate of one percent, and assuming an unchanged loan and derivatives portfolio, interest expenses would increase by SEK 12.4 million.
K-Fastigheter is dependent on the financing of existing investment properties and upcoming new construction. The risk of not securing adequate future financing is mitigated by means of a good dialogue with all Swedish commercial banks, as well as by signing longer credit agreements with a diversified maturity structure. As of 31 December 2020, K-Fastigheter had engagements with seven Swedish banks and the average fixed interest period for capital was 2.6 years. The listing of the company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm also broadened the capital base further.
The risk of having insufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet current and future payment obligations is managed by preparing a monthly liquidity forecast, which is continuously reviewed, and by contracting the required limits and credits for ongoing operations. Furthermore, no new projects are initiated without financing having been secured. As of 31 December 2020, K-Fastigheter's available cash and cash equivalents totaled some SEK 600 million, including unutilized overdraft facilities.
Credit risk arises in K-Fastigheter's operations primarily through the Group's tenants' and suppliers' ability to pay. Tenants creditworthiness is tested in accordance with established criteria in connection with new rental agreements being signed. For key suppliers, a credit assessment is performed when a new collaboration is established. For key commercial tenants and suppliers alike, creditworthiness is monitored continuously through the requisite credit monitoring services.
K-Fastigheter owns properties in Denmark. Because the properties are under construction, the currency risk is currently mainly associated with exchange rate differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries' assets and liabilities to the currency of the Parent Company. As the properties are completed, currency risk will also arise in the companies' income and expenses. Translation differences are mainly managed by borrowing in local currency, equivalent to net assets.
Cyber risk comprises the risk of being exposed to IT attacks, operational stoppages and information leaks. The risk is managed by using modern soft- and hardware with reliable redundancy. K-Fastigheter has outsourced the management of cyber risk to a professional IT provider, including the systematic work of testing vulnerability, contingency and incident planning and training Group staff to raise security awareness in the organization.
Property operations are, to a great extent, affected by laws and other regulations, as well as decisions by public authorities regarding, for example, taxes, subsidies and support, planning and construction measures, the environment, safety, permitted construction materials and construction standards, letting and regulated rent-setting for rental apartments.
In part, these risks have a major impact on how K-Fastigheter conducts its operations and, in part, they are difficult to manage as they are often changed at short notice. K-Fastigheter addresses the political risks primarily by keeping the organization abreast of ongoing political trends and by engaging specialists and advisers to manage the effects of changing laws and regulations.
Climate and environmental risk related to K-Fastigheter's operations are estimated to mainly include the physical environment which affects people and buildings, and production and prices of natural resources in the form of materials and energy.
K-Fastigheter makes the assessment that the Group can be affected in multiple ways, including an increased investment requirement in properties to meet actual and political demands.
There is a risk that K-Fastigheter's operations, profit and financial position are affected by the continuing Covid-19 pandemic by impacting ongoing construction and planning as a result of increased sickness absence amongst K-Fastigheter's employees or various stakeholders, effects on rental income and letting ratio, market value, interest rates and financing opportunities.
At the time of preparing this Annual Report, the actual impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on K-Fastigheter has been limited and has not caused any material adverse impact on the company's operations, profit or financial position.
It is currently uncertain how the Covid-19 pandemic will affect K-Fastigheter looking ahead, although the impact is assessed continuously and will be reported in future Interim Reports. New information will be presented in press releases when required. In general, K-Fastigheter follows the recommendations of the authorities and the Group's efforts to ensure the safety of its tenants and employees has been strengthened. Furthermore, the Group maintains continuous contact with independent valuation experts and partner banks to strengthen its position and to be able to be proactive in the current circumstances.
K-Fastigheter's earnings are affected by a number of factors. The table below shows a theoretical effect on cash flow and fair value based on K-Fastigheter's current earnings ability as of 31 December 2020 given a change based on four parameters. Each variable in the table has been addressed individually and on the assumption that the other variables remain unchanged. The sensitivity analysis should be read together with the information on current earnings ability on page 32.
K-Fastigheter recognize its properties at fair value, recognizing changes in value in the Income Statement. This means that earnings, in particular, but also financial position can be affected both positively and negatively over time. The table below shows the theoretical value change when increasing or decreasing the property value based on the property value as of 31 December 2020 and its effect on the loan-to-value ratio at that date.

In the Annual Report, K-Fastigheter presents certain financial measures that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. K-Fastigheter believes that these measures provide valuable additional information to investors and management as they enable assessment of the company's performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies. Therefore, these financial measures should not be considered as a replacement for measures defined in accordance with IFRS. The table below presents financial measures that are not defined in accordance with IFRS.
When calculating data per share, the average number of shares has been applied, while the calculation of assets, equity and NAV per share is based on the average number of outstanding shares.
Registered number of shares – number of shares at a specific point in time. Outstanding number of shares – the number of registered shares less repurchased Treasury shares at a specific point in time. Average number of shares – weighted average number of outstanding shares in a specific period. The number of historical shares has been recalculated including the bonus issue in August 2019.

The Annual Report is published in Swedish and English. The Swedish version is the original version and takes precedence over the English should the translation differ from the original. All values are expressed in Swedish kronor (SEK). "Kronor" is shortened SEK and millions of kronor to "SEK million". Because amounts and values have been rounded, tables/diagrams do not always add up precisely. Figures in brackets refer to the preceding year unless otherwise stated.
This report contains forward-looking information based on K-Fastigheter's current expectations. Although management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information to be reasonable, no guarantee can be provided that these expectations will prove correct. Consequently, future outcomes may vary considerably compared to what is presented in the forward-looking information due to factors such as changing economic conditions, market developments and competition considerations, changes in legal requirements and other policy measures, and exchange rates fluctuations.
Our social media channels serve as a complement to press releases and financial reports. Through these channels, we seek to provide better insight and complementary perspectives on what is happening in the Group and to communicate with our most important stakeholders. Since we use the channels in slightly different ways, you can select those that are best suited to your needs.
Our LinkedIn page provides financial news, short updates about our progress and vacant positions.

On our Facebook page, you will find information about vacant properties, ideas for your home, short company news with fun facts and events that we think may be of interest to many people.

On the Group's Instagram account we publish pictures and texts about current events, brief reflections, vacancies and where there are opportunities to move in and establish a home.
